Legendary hills await Fodderstack runners This Saturday the Fodderstack Road between Flint Hill and Washington will again be the site of the annual Fodderstack 10K Race. In this 15th running of the race, Jean Lillard, one of the organizers, is hoping for a good turnout. About 110 had pre-registered by last weekend. Ms. Lillard noted that none of the top three men or women finishers from last year have yet registered, leaving the way open for new winners in the open category. In addition to the open category, there are awards in numerous age groups for both men and women. When the first Fodderstack race was held in 1979, there were 137 runners. The record number was about 360, she said, but recently the race has been attracting about 250 runners. . The Inn at Little Washington is again the principal sponsor of the race, donating funds for the T-shirts that are won by the first 250 racers to cross the line. Many other local businesses have made donations to help defray the cost of the trophies. - Virginia Savings Bank of Front Royal is again offering a prize of $300 to anyone who breaks a course record. The men’s record time of 31:26 was set by Steve Pinard in 1985. Kim Belyea holds the women’s record at 36:46 set in 1984. If both records are broken the prize will be split. Merill Strange has iigain made the trophies, including the Eva L. Smith Memorial plaques, which she is donating, for the first Rappahannock male and female runner. Mrs. Strange is one of the former winners of this valued trophy. Last year’s winners, Nina Stamer for the women and Jason Waters for the men, have both preregistered. A special rate for families, $10 per head for those preregistering, has attracted a number of entries. Eve, Shiloh and Caleb Proper have preregistered, as have Cheryl, Meghan and Michael Fairbrother and Jenks, Jennings and Berkeley Hobson. Former Extension agent Nancy Sechrist has preregistered along with her sons Bart and John. The oldest entry preregistered is Barbara Gentry, 80, who plans to walk the course this year. The Washington Baptist Church will again have its annual spring event on race See Race, Page A-8 Draft budget up 10 percent 620 tax rate proposed | i t i i l f f i 4 * i t * i i t By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors got its first look at a the proposed $8.6 million county budget for the coming year this week. The budget is up nearly $767,000, or 9.8 percent over the current budget. County Administrator John McCarthy prepared the first draft for the supervisors to look over prior to their public hearing on the school budget next Monday evening. Mr. McCarthy- suggested a tax rate of 62 cents per $100 of assessed value on real estate to fund the budget. That represents a 24 percent increase over the current rate of 50 cents. Even with the 62-cent rate, the proposed budget shows $557,000 more in spending than in revenue. The deficit would be made up by drawing on the general fund surplus. About nine cents of the 12-cent increase would be needed to fund the increase in the school budget, Mr. McCarthy said. About $275,000 would be for closing the cell currently being used at the landfill. Since this is a non-recurring cost, it can be justified as coming from surplus. Mr. McCarthy noted in a cover letter. The surplus is larger than was anticipated when the current budget was adopted, partially because of unanticipated revenues from taking “fluff’ at the landfill. Included in the budget are 3 percent raises for county employees. Also the amounts for health insurance were increased by 2.2 percent. Mr. McCarthy also recommended that the county assume the employees’ contribution to life insurance that is required as part of the Virginia Retirement system. Mr. McCarthy noted that this will not cost anything in the current year, since “VRS has waived the contribution requirement due to a revaluation of its assets.” Sheriff John Henry Woodward requested an additional deputy to be paid for by county funds, but that position was not included in the budget for the sheriff s office. Mr. McCarthy recommended that the building inspector’s position be made full time. Also Mr. McCarthy’s secretary’s position would be upgraded to administrative assistant with responsibility for the county payroll. The budget for education at $5.4 million accounts for nearly 63 percent of the budget. It is up $621,500 or nearly 13 percent. Part of that difference is due to the RJR/Nabisco grant, but most of it results in a need for more local taxes. The budget for public safety at $975,400 and 11.3 percent of the budget is the next largest portion of the budget. This includes expenses for the sheriffs office and jail, fire and rescue, the Enhanced 9-1-1 emergency dispatch system, building inspection and animal control. This category is actually down about $47,500 from the current year, because most of the equipment purchases for the 9-1-1 system are taking place this year. Public works at $890,000 accounts for about 10.3 percent of the budget. This category, which includes trash collection and disposal See Budget, Page A-8 Hauling trash still I cheapest disposal Landfilling costs rising By SHARON KILPATRICK Kappahann<H‘k News Staff Writer County Administrator John McCarthy has presented the Board of Supervisors with an estimate of $73.50 per ton to continue to operate a landfill at the current landfill site. This cost does not include operating any additional collection sites in the county. Earlier Mr. McCarthy had estimated that trash disposal at the landfill had cost approximately $67 per ton so far with another $10 per ton to be added for costs for closing the current eeHat and monitoring wells around the sift* for 10 years. The total cost of $77 per ton included operating with auxiliary dumpster sites at Scrabble and Huntly. It did not include the $530,300 paid out in fiscal 1938 to purchase the site and conduct preliminary engineering studies and site preparation. See Trash, Page A-8 Phone customers request wider service area By SHARON KILPATRICK _ Rappahannock New* Staff Writer. ^ C&P Telephone Co. is polling its Culpeper customers to see if they are willing to pay an additional $1.30 per month to be able to call Warrenton without long distance charges. The enlarged local service area is walled Extended Local Service (ELS). The poll is in response to a petition to the State Corporation Commission organized by Donna Lacey of Jeffersonton and Tom Moore of Warrenton. They collected 854 signatures on petitions located mostly in stores. Most of the signers have 9-3-7 Culpeper exchange numbers. If Culpeper telephone customers approve the 1 change, Warrenton customers will then be polled. In Culpeper approximately 20 percent of the customers have received the poll. At least 50 percent must return their ballots and a majority of those must approve the change before Warrenton customers will be polled. Mrs. Lacey said she believes that customers on the 9-3-7 exchange will overwhelmingly approve the increased monthly charge instead of long distance charges. She believes that probably a majority of 8-2-5 cutomers also favor the change, but the success of the ■ poll is by no means assured. “Eisewhere in Virginia responses to a similar ballot were running 2 to 1 in favor of ELS, but the motion failed because fewer that 50 percent of the ballots were returned,” she said. “Every ballot is important. We urge everyone who receives one to respond. ” * See Survey, Page A-8 Sharing their culture Rappahannock News Staff Photo C indy Mahan Seneca Indian dancers perform at The Exchange.

GROGAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met on April 13, at the Little Fork Episcopal Church in Rixeyville for its meeting, and a luncheon served by the women of the church. The Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham, opended the meeting, welcoming members to the Little Fork Church. The Rector of the church. Rev. John Desaulniers, introduced by Mrs. James Woodruff Kearns, gave the history of the church since the congregation was established in 1730 as St. Marks Parish, It started as a “chapel of ease”, as ordered by Gov. Spotswood, as a place for travelers to rest for their morning or evening prayers. After twice being burned, the church was rebuilt of brick in 1776. Up until then all persons were members of the Church of England by order of the king and forced to tithe but the Revolution changed that and in 1789 the church became a part of the Episcopal Church of the Untied States. Through periods of disrepair, quartering of Union Soldiers during the Civil War, used as a Methodist church until 1928, the church building managed to survive. In 1976, a committee was formed to restore the church to what it was in colonial times, even to having paint scrapings analyzed by Dow Chemical Company reconstituted - called Turkey Blue. Completed in 1979, Culpeper’s only Colonial church has become both a historical landmark and a living church. The President General’s message, as read by Mrs. Dieter Knuepher, reported that the complete revision of the National By-Laws will be presented to this April’s Continental Congress for approval.

The Audit Bureau Tough choices ahead The first draft of the county budget for fiscal 1993-94, presented to the supervisors this week by County Administrator John McCarthy, will come as a shock to some. The budget’s nearly $750,000 increase, topped off by a 24percent tax hike, is certain to be a shock to a county that has, for the past few years, dodged the seemingly endless tax increases suffered by most of our neighbors to the east. Some of our good fortune is due to our smaller population and need for fewer services. It can also be partially laid to prudent fiscal management by the county’s officials, both elected and appointed. However, at least part of the tax increases suffered by some nearby localities can also be laid to an unfortunate tendency to delay, as long as possible, what finally become essential or mandated expenses. Unfortunately, that delay has hearty always meant that the expenditure, when it can no longer be delayed, almost always costs the taxpayers more than it would have had it not been put off. We understand that elected officials aren’t eager to spend their constituents’ tax money. And that’s the way it should be. Government should be conservative in both its revenue collection and its expenditures. However, there are also certain services deemed essential to the public welfare; there are other services and programs that the taxpayers, through a variety of means, have indicated that they wish to have supported by their tax dollars. Several of the increases in the budget certainly appear to be necessary and prudent expenses. Sheriff John Henry Woodward’s request for an additional deputy, for example, would assist his department in providing essential and timely services. County residents should expect to see the costs of law enforcement continue to rise as urban crime pushes further out into the countryside. The landfill expenses are mandated by state and federal regulations, and will be a necessary expense for years to come, even if the landfill closes. Taxpayers should also expect continuing increases in this area, as more stringent regulations and their associated costs drive the price of garbage disposal ever higher. We don’t mean to sound the chorus of gloom and doom. But we think that the supervisors should carefully weigh current costs against the costs of postponing. Funding some of these projects now, and biting the tax bullet which that involves, may be the more prudent course for the long term. ! WHO RAISED THE LIGHT? WHY? <5Z WHAT \% u'T? ■\ / DONT KNOW.

Letters to the Editor Pirate Ship underway To the Editor: Yes, the pirate ship we’ve all been waiting for is finally under way. To date we’ve raised $2800. This was about what we thought we needed for the pirate ship and sitting deck. But you may have heard that the cost of lumber has recently skyrocketed (70 percent in four months), so we’re doing the pirate ship first. We are purposely making it proportional to the size of the castle. The lumber, bolts and nails to get started was nearly $1500. We still need extras like a helm and cargo netting for climbing and chain for the tireswing. So when the pirate ship is done, we’ll decide if there is enough to start and complete the sitting deck. If you’d like to contribute we still need funds for the sitting deck and future trees. Please send tax deductible donations to Rappahannock Recreation Authority, P.O. Box 124, Flint Hill, Va 22627. KAYE AND RICK KOHLER Amissville Thanks to Bob Bridges To the Editor: On behalf of the Office of Emergency Services, members of the county’s fire and rescue squads, the Supervisors and the county in general, I want to thank Bob Bridges of Reality Farm for his generous donations of a snowmobile and trailer to the county. Last month’s snow brought home again the need for a local capability to reach people in outlying areas in the event of the roads’ being impassable to wheeled vehicles due to deep snow. Although the National Guard can and will help, its limited resources are usually spread very thinly. This gift will go far toward easing the county’s emergency services capability in the advent of adverse snow conditions. As was the donation of tools and equipment to outfit the county’s HAZMAT response vehicle by Gordon Thornhill of the Rappahannock Farmers Coop, this gift is most appreciated. .

Democrats Have Edge in Va. Races By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer pough the formality of nominations still lies ahead, the Democratic team for this year’s statewide elections has essentially already taken the field readv to play ball. pie early fielding of a lineup by a state party that has often done itself in at times in the past because of fractious intra-party strife gives it a major advantage in the time leading up to the start of the general election season. Mary Sue Terry, Donald Beyer and William Dolan, the prospective nominees for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general respectively, are free to move around the state raising campaign cash and soliciting support without having to worry about hearing any footsteps behind them of rivals for the nominations. It is only mid-April, a month in some bygone years when the Democratic candidates were at each other s throats, yet the threesome can await without apprehension the state convention at which they will be annointed. By contrast, Republicans, who during the 1970s gained success by creating harmony within their own ranks and taking advantage of brutal Democratic infighting, are preparing for a monster convention of some 14,000 delegates who may create political warfare so intense all hope for party unity leading up to the fall election will be dashed. That story will have to play itself out, but it is worth considering briefly how strong the team being fielded by the Democrats will be when the moment of truth arrives. Certainly, on most of the surface it looks awesome. Ms. Terry won easily both times she ran for attorney general; Beyer, a political unknown, trounced the popular wife of a former governor in the 1989 general election; and Dolan, who is seeking public office for the first time, is astute, bright and good with people. The ability of Ms. Terry to raise money is legendary, and the rest of the ticket should have no trouble in that regard either. And what had seemed to be an escalating feud between Terry and Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, one potentially harmful to her candidacy, has been mysteriously tamped down with Wilder opting to train his sights on Sen. Charles Robb. The Democratic ticket will be formidable and its candidates undoubtedly the early favorites to win in a Virginia Through Both Barrels state that has elected an all-Democratic statewide slate in three consecutive elections. Yet a case can be made that an aggressive Republican ticket, if some semblance of unity can be preserved, can pose a serious threat to the Democratic victory streak. In 1985 Ms. Terry beat Republican nominee Buster O’Brien to become attorney general. But O’Brien was damaged early by unfavorable media reports and waged a lackluster campaign. The last time around State Sen. Joseph Benedetti attempted to mount a vigorous challenge to Ms. Terry, but was hampered by a lack of funds and the fact the media devoted practically all of its attention to Wilder’s effort to become the first black governor of any state in modem times. The argument can therefore be made that Ms. Terry has not yet been in the crucible of a hotly contested race that will be the center of attention. She will employ her usual “play it safe” style, but that could made her vulnerable to a GOP challenger who comes across to the electorate as more exciting and charismatic. Beyer profited greatly last time from his opponent’s mistakes and could be hurt if Republicans are able to field a winning gubernatorial nominee. Dolan is barely known out side of Democratic circles so that should make him the most potentially beatable of the Democrats. I think the flow of the convention and its aftermath will be make or break for the Republican chances, and my crystal ball is too clouded to forecast what the flow will be. However, if I were a bookmaker making odds at the moment on the coming general election, I would peg it 8-5 in favor of Terry and Beyer and 6-5 in favor of Dolan.

KILPATRICK The Court of Peeves, Irks and Crotchets, facing an exceptionally heavy docket, extends its April assizes to hear two class actions. The first asks the court to rule on, “More importantly, the committee acted without a dissenting vote.” Petitioners before the court are equally divided. Some say “more importantly.” Some say “more important.” Others say, “The hell with it, recast the sentence.” The court will now rule. Use “more important” except when your ear tells you to use “more importantly.” Both the adverb and the adjective have been used by respected writers, H.L. Mencken once spoke of the cost of World War I to England, “not only in men and money but also and more importantly in the things of the spirit.” William Safire, wordmaster for The New York Times, has some sound advice: “More important, do not confuse ‘masterful’ with ‘masterly.’” The court will not accept an exhibit taken from Natural History magazine, which sent a flier to potential subscribers: “Mostly importantly, you will receive ...” Bailiff! Order in the court! Have that sentence removed! The court’s general felling is that “importantly” is a pouter pigeon of a word. It is all puffed up. The adverb struts and swaggers. Look at me! The court acknowledges that not much may be said in favor of “more important,” either. When in doubt, recast: “What is of greater importance,” etc. Next case! A large class of plaintiffs asks for an order restoring “take” and “bring” to their old employment. The old rule is that “take” implies movement away from the speaker; “bring” implies movement toward the speaker. The court will enter the order, but it won’t do much good. The old distinction has lost most of its support. Consider some of the plaintiffs’ exhibits: From The New York Times: “A seriously divided Israeli government on Friday rejected a Red Cross request to bring relief supplies to 415 deported Palestinians ...” From The Cincinnati Enquirer, in a question to the automobile editor: “When I brought my 1986 Dodge Lancer in for a tuneup recently ...” From the Los Angeles Daily News: “It is enough for us that American troops and supplies have been streaming into Somalia to bring GREAT VALVES ON AMERICA’S *** BEST SELLING TRUCKi RANGER 4X2 V SQ QQQ ■7 -X7AJUrKthaU Delivered Price Includes Freight Only Taxes & Tags Extra INCLUDES: XLTTrim . , Air Conditioning • Power Brakes with Rear • Anti-Lock • AM/FM Stereo with Cassette • lit Bench Seat ding Rear Window • Chrome Step Bumper Super Engine Cooling 7 Foot Pickup Bed Cast Aluminum Wheels White Letter All-Season Radial Tires Clearcoat Paint Stk* 337,414 Check our “Fine Print"...

We could with equal confidence take relief supplies, take the car in for a tuneup, and take food to the starving Somalians. When the point of direction is clear, the old rule works well: “Please take the dog for a walk.” “You don’t bring me flowers any more.” Obviously we are not going to bring the dog for a walk or take me flowers any more. Writers must rely more on the feel of a sentence than on the dictates of a rule book. Norman G. Folkers of Lynnwood, Wash., asks the court to enjoin “loan” as a verb. He acknowledges that “loan” has widely replaced “lend,” but he contends that popular usage does not convey legitimacy. Ah, sir, at some point popular usage does indeed convey legitimacy. Tlie trick is to determine when that point is reached. Sadly, reluctantly, with a badly broken heart, the court must rule — sob! — that banks may now loan money as well as lend it. 0 tempora, 0 mores! Donald M. Stevens of Alexandria, Ky., seeks a ruling on nouns ending in “-ee.” The court is not about to straighten out this muddle. Some of the time the suffix denotes the object of an action: Title will vest in an assignee. Some of the time the suffix denotes the subject of an action: At the theater a standee stands.

Major Cycling Race Wheels Through Area May 10 By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In less than a month, the nationally televised Tour DuPont professional cycling race will stage a friendly invasion of downtown Front Royal. On the way out of town, the Tour DuPont cyclists will wheel their way through parts of Rappahannock County. The 11-day competition among many of the world’s top professional cyclists begins Thursday, May 6 with a prologue event in Wilmington, Del., home of DuPont’s corporate headquarters and the starting spot for the race for the past four years. Virginia will host five stages of the cycling event, which ends Sunday, May 16 with a time trial near Greensboro, N.C. Front Royal will host the start of the race’s fifth stage on Monday, May 10.

Stage 5 of the race is slated to begin at Main and Chester Streets in Front Royal and will end 100 miles later at Massanutten Resort. “We’d love to see 20,000 people in Front Royal at the starting line,” said Steve Brunner of race organizer Madlist Sports Inc. of Richmond. “It won’t be just people who are big fans of cycling. . . it’s got the potential to attract anybody and everybody, just like a parade or a festival.” The crowd at Front Royal will be part of an estimated three million on-site visitors expected for the 1993 Tour. After leaving Front Royal, the cyclists will face three major climbs, the first at Thornton Gap. A few minutes later, the race will wheel through SperryVille on the way to Madison County. Cycling experts feel the race stages with major climbs, such as Stage 5, could be decisive for the eventual top finishers in the event. The total course length is approximately 1,085 miles. Sperryville and Thornton Gap are listed along with the starting line as three of the best viewing spots for watching the action of Stage 5. It’s estimated the day’s racing will take about four hours, ending in front of Massanutten Lodge.

Race stages have previously rolled through parts of Rappahannock County as well. Last year, the racers zipped through Rappahannock as part of Stage 6 from Sharpsburg, Md., to Massanutten. The decision to use Front Royal as a starting spot — assuring lots of major media attention — was made after the town waged a spirited battle with a number of other towns in the region, including Frederick, Md., and Martinsburg, W.Va. Brunner said Front Royal was selected in part because of television considerations. “It’s a scenic town, it’s historic and it’s very pretty, a beautiful setting that can only help our event,” he said. The total purse for the Tour DuPont is $200,000, with the winner receiving $40,000 and a Saturn automobile. Greg LeMond won the 1992 championship but won’t defend his title this year.

1,-66 begins HOV-2 April 27 Lane changes may cause commuter confusion Bv HOLLY GIBSON ArCom Newspapers Staff Writer Starting April 27, a new variation of high occuparity vehicle (HOV) lanes will start on Interstate 66 from U.S. 50 east to the Washington Beltway. "'For this stretch of HOV roadway, only two are required to make Ac&rpool. This comes as no surprise to commuters who have endured the added lane construction and have been reading the new signs for weeks. Bilt many are still confused about hflw the new lane will function. „.“The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has maintained that motorists will not lose a r&He tb HOV, but will use the shoulder as a lane during rush hours. During non-HOV hours, the extra lane will revert to a shoulder. There are lane-use signals over the right shoulder that display an “X” or an arrow to designate use, but it is the inside left lane that is designated for HOV-2, said VDOT spokesperson Mary Ann Reynolds. Without a shoulder, stalled vehicles could create more of a problem than before. But Thomas Farley, VDOT’s new Northern Virginia district administrator, said there will be increased safety patrols in vehicles equipped with push bumpers to move disabled cars to the closest pull-off area. Pull-off areas were constructed wherever possMe for a total of nine. There wilkbdtfghk onequarter of a mile bef<#|and at the emergency pull-offs. Exiting the Beltway with HOV in effect is another source of confusion for commuters. At 1-495, HOV2 on 1-66 becomes HOV-3. Reynolds explained that no one will have to change lanes across traffic to exit, because there are two exits — one for HOV and one for non-HOV. Lucy Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the Virginia State Police, said there is a real dilemma in enforcing HOV. * “We don’t want to back up traffic,” she said. But commuters are warned that police will take an “aggressive posture on enforcement from Day One, starting at 6:31 a.m.” The agency is adding four motorcycles to the police patrol on 1-66. Caldwell could not predict what ticketing method would be used. Violators could be stopped on the road or could receive a ticket in the mail later. Both VDOT and the State Police are hoping for volunteer compliance. “We think they’ll (commuters) be happy to let that HOV lane go, be cause they’re really helping everyone,” Reynolds said. Farley said he realized that not everyone can carpool. Regardless, “HOV is here to stay,” he said. Commuters are encouraged to use the ridematching phone number to find others with similar schedules and destinations to ride with or meet up at the park and ride lots. Commuters stuck in congested regular lanes may be frustrated by the flowing and seemingly empty HOV lane, but VDOT estimates that the busiest HOV-2 stretch will move 2,950 people in only 1,150 vehicles from 7 to 8 a.m. Regular lanes will move 1,560 people apiece, each in their owm car. VDOT has been pressured by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Act (ISTEA) of 1990 to adopt an air quality plan and a complementary transportation plan to achieve the 15 percent reduction in vehicle emissions by 1996 and clean air standards by 1999. Farley said stricter emissions testing and reformulated fuels will achieve the 1996 goal, but HOV will be necessary to achieve the additional and long-term reductions by 1999. ARB faces limits of authority By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Architectural Review Board is limited in what it can consider when applications are presented to it. That theme prevailed at last Thursday's meeting as the members started by adding to the minutes of February meeting a statement that their review of the steps in front of the log cabin on Main Street was for “architectural appropriately only, not for their placement or t;he lack of handicapped access.” They next considered an application by Doug Baumgardner to place black wrought iron fences on the retting walls either side of his office building. The members said they believe there is a spacing between uprights that is required by the building code to insure that small children don’t get their heads stuck between the poles, but noted that the building official, not the ARB, has the authority to enforce that provision. The ARB approved his application. When they next considered an application by Gwendolyn Thompson for a sign for the “Time and Chance” thrift shop to be located in the building at the corner of Gay Street and Porter Street where the Washington VFD Auxiliary already has a thrift shop, they noticed that thrift was spelled “thirft.” Member Patrick O’Connell said that spelling is “not in the ARB purview.” That application was also approved. Next they approved plans presented by County Administrator John McCarthy for the magistrate’s office to be located in a garage pruchased from Virginia Lindstrom. Next Mr. McCarthy showed the ARB members a light fixture he intends tQ have installed above the door of his office. He said the brass light fixture was donated by his father, and that he had not made application for ARB approval because the fixture would not be visible from the street “unless someone lies down in the street to look up at it.” The ARB also approved plans presented by Phyllis Mariott to add windows and a door to the storage shed and garage at the Foster-Harris House. A disguised garage entrance will also be put on the south side. Ms. Mariott also won approval to provide a fenced yard for her dog. A steel grating will be attached to fiberglass poles driven into the ground alongside picket and rail fencing.

On Saturday at about 1:30 p.m. near the top of the Ridge Trail, Donald C. Hess, 55, of Falls Church injured his ankle when he slipped on the rocks. To rescue him a Park Service helicopter hovered over the mountain and Mr. Hess was lifted into the helicopter from a “chair” sling attached to a cable. r On Sunday, Brandon W. Graham, 18, of Washington, D.C. fell approximately 50 feet from an overlook point to the rocks below, apparently breaking his leg. He was headed down the mountain from the Byrd’s Nest shelter. Park rangers reached Mr. Graham at about 2:30 that afternoon. Using a stretcher, they carried him out for almost a mile along a robky, narrow footpath to a Madison County Rescue Squad ambulance waiting in Berry Hollow. It was nearly 6:30 p.m. by the time the rangers turned Mr. Graham over to the rescue squad.

► Budget From Page A-l and repair and maintenance of county buildings, has increased nearly $167,700 or 23 percent. Tipping fees to Fauquier County for taking Rappahannock trash combined with the cost of closing the [ landfill cell account for most of this increase. Health and welfare at $573,300 accounts for about 6.7 percent of the budget. This category is actually down about $13,600 or 2.3 percent. General government administration at $411,200 accounts for 4.8 percent of the budget. This category includes the Board of Supervisors, county administrator, county attorney, comissioner of revenue, treasurer, registrar and board of elections. This category increased less than one percent over the current budget. Judicial administration, at $151,000, accounts for about 1.8 percent of the budget. This budget item increased by a little more than 5 percent over the current budget. Most of the increase is for furnishings for offices of the magistrate and court clerks. Community development, which includes the Planning Commission, Board of Zoning Appeals, and Extension Service accounts for about 1.3 percent of the budget at $110,900. This represents an 18 percent increase over the current year. Most of this increase goes to the Water and Sewer Authority for the salary of the Sperryville sewer plant operator, but funds from the users of the system reimburse the county for this cost. The parks, recreation and cultural category at $78,100 represents less than one percent of the budget. This category, includes the expenses of the county library, a contribution to the 4-H center, and contributions to youth sports and the county park. This f-category is up $10,300 or about 15 percent. Of that, $2,000 is for a contribution to the 4-H center outside Front Royal. The rest is for increases for the library. The state is increasing its contribution to the library by about $3,400. The Library Baord is asking the supervisors for about $7,250 more in county funds. ► Survey From Page A-1 RIGHT ANSWER ft Audit Bureau of Circulations 1 Advertisers who want to place their print ads in a quality publication ask the question: “Is your circulation audited?” We’re very proud to answer “Yes.” We are a member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations because we share ABC’s belief that circulation audits are an essential assurance of value. ABC is the premier circulation auditing organization in the world, and has been since 1914. Each year, ABC auditors test and verify that our circulation figures are facts, not claims. An ABC audit is the sign of a sound investment for advertisers. Not all publications are audited, but they should be. Because when advertisers ask “Is your circulation audited?” there’s only one answer. 1 “Yes.” In Rappahannock County many C&P customers in the Amissville and Castleton areas have Culpeper exchanges. Many of the 854 signatures collected in favor of having the ballot were collected at Hackley’s Store in Amissville. The ballots were mailed out at the end of last week. Customers must return them by mid-June. If the ballot measure passes in both Culpeper and Warrenton, customers with 8-2-5, 9-3-7, 2-6-2, 3-9-9, 5-4-7, and 8-2-9 exchange numbers will be able to call 3-4-7, 3-4-1, 3-4-9, and 27-0 exchanges in Warrenton. “If you call Warrenton just once a month for seven minutes, it’s cheaper to have ELS than pay daytime rates,” Mrs. Lacey said. “As the average customer makes 2.8 calls per month, most customers would benefit from the new service. There are a lot of people with friends and family in Warrenton. Some are even paying to call their neighbors.” The flat rate for businesses would increase by $8.04 per month with ELS, but Mrs. Lacey believes businesses will also support ELS. “They will effectively double their customer base,” she said.

Honda* *330 ►T rash From Page A-l In comparison he estimates that contracting with Fauquier County for trash disposal will cost approximately $58 per ton. Again that does not include any auxiliary dumpster sites. The estimate of $58 per ton for using the landfill at Fauquier County includes $42 per ton for tipping fees, $6.50 per ton for hauling costs and $65,000 per year for operating the existing waste transfer site at the landfill. This cost will be reduced in future years once the current cell is closed and no more leachate is collecting from the cell. Mr. McCarthy arrived at the figure of $73.50 cost per ton for a new double-lined two-acre cell, which would last approximately two and a half years, by estimating the cost as $550,000 to build the cell, $200,000 to later close it, $90,000 for leachate treatment, $100,000 for fixed costs at the landfill, $50,000 for the costs to work the fill, and $297,000 for post-closure monitoring. The total cost would be nearly $2.3 million to dispose of about 17,500 tons of trash. It is not yet possible to determine the cost of maintaining additional dumpster sites. It is greater than the difference between the $77 per ton cost and the $73.50 per ton cost, because the new cell would be more expensive to build, close and monitor than the current landfill cells. The contract with Community Trash did not separate the costs of collecting from the sites from the cost of landfilling. To maintain additional collection sites would presumably add approximately the same amount to either the cost of a new cell at the landfill or the cost of hauling county trash to Fauquier. Mr. McCarthy presented the figures for a new cell at the landfill along with a draft of the contract with Fauquier County in a mailing to the members of the Board of Supervisors. The supervisors will consider this contract at their May meeting. If county residents are to see any savings from contracting with Fauquier over costs for trash disposal in the past, they will not show’ up in the next budget year. The proposed budget includes $400,000 for refuse collection and tipping fees, and $388,365 for maintenance of the county landfill. Totalled those amounts come to approximately $112 per ton for 7,000 tons, but they combine costs for the current operation with costs for landfilling at Fauquier. Included in the $400,000 are tip fees to Fauquier and and the costs of the contract w’ith Community Trash from July through early October. Some $297,000 of the $388,365 is for closing the current cell and upgrading electric service at the landfill to handle a trash compactor. ► Race From Page A-l day.

Hero survived a messy kiss By WALTER DAY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer There is a well mannered, blonde, curly headed, handsome, six year old here in the county that I watched go through some agony a few days ago. I feel compelled to tell you about this even though my talent may not do it justice. This boy was allowed to go and play at another youngsters house. The two mothers involved took regular turns and exchanged duties in order to provide the children new screaming grounds. The young man (lets call him “Ed”) had had a marvelous day. The other youngster had a little brother (lets call him “Tiny”) had followed the big boys around all day. Tiny had a problem in that his nose was in full flow as some little noses are on cold days. Tiny was, of course, unaware that this condition was unusual. From time to time he would, with one hand or the other, wrist or sleeve, rub the matter East, West, North and South. Our young hero, Ed, was about to leave with his mother when some one said “Tiny wants a kiss goodbye”! Eddy turned instinctively and stepped toward Tiny’s outstretched arms. He looked and froze! We froze with him, watching. I saw him catch Day By Day his breath, he looked desparate. He could not reject these outstretched arms. At Eddy’s age, he knew that a rejected kiss would hurt this little boy. But what could he do? I saw him looking for a dry spot when he knew there was none. Then I saw’ his resolve. He stepped forward on kissed Tiny on the cheek. As if he had, unexpected, run into some cobwebs in the dark, his arms and hands waved wildly around his face. He looked about, disoriented. Finally he found the car and left for home. He should be awarded a medal for bravery above and beyond the call of duty. I laughed so hard I thought I’d die. Another subject, I heard an an ecdote many years ago. It posed a problem that I have never quite resolved. A large truck proceeding on the highway was being followed closely by a state policeman. At regular intervals the truck would stop, the driver get out and circle the truck hittin the sides with a bat. After observing this happen several times the trooper approached the driver. He asked, “Why do you stop and beat on the sides of your truck?” The driver replied, “I have a load of ten tons of canaries. The weight limit on this road is five ton. I beat the sides of the truck to keep half of the canaries flying!” My problem dear public is that I am not sure that this action would lessen the weight. It is a closed system. But maybe the birds might be in free fall and are weightless? I hope someone here in the county well grounded in this type of problem will kindly reply to the Neu's and if we cannot get a consensus perhaps we should have a meeting at the library soon. After all, there is nothing much exciting going on since the elections. Please ignore the fact that a truck large enough to hold ten ton of canaries in flight would be about the size of a football field.

Pehrson plays in Charlottesville Dinah Pehrson-Day of Sperry ville plays the part of Rita in “A Girl’s Guide to Chaos,” which opened on April 15 at Live Arts in Charlottesville. This uproarious comedy, written by Cynthia Heimel, is presented by the Live Arts Theatre Ensemble (L.A.T.E.). Cynthia Heimel is a delightful neo-feminist (someone who views men not as “the problem”, but as part of “the solution”) humorist best known for the hilarious and immortal “Sex Tips for Girls”. Heimel has taken material from that book and put it into the mouths of three characters: Cynthia (Cindy Burke) and her two friends Cleo and Rita (Carol McAvoy and Dinah Pehrson). “These are the times that try a girl’s soul,” begins Cynthia, and then she and her friends proceed to tell us why these times are so trying, and what they are doing to cope with them. There is still time to see “A Girl’s Guide to Chaos.” The play runs Wednesdays through Saturdays, April 21-24, and April 28-May 1, at 8 p.m. each evening. Limited table seating will be available along with regular theater seating, for snack and dessert service beginning at 7:15 p.m. Advance tickets are available at the Live Arts Box Office at Daedalus Bookshop, Williams Comer Bookstore, Plan 9 Records and Disctraxshuns, all in Charlottesville.

Renaissance duo at Theatre I Lute, soprano blend English melodies \ This weekend, soprano Custer LaRue and lute player Howard Bass will bring to The Theatre at Washington, Va. a concert of English and French Renaissance songs and solos and Anglo-American ballads. The duo performs a program entitled, “Like As The Lute.” Soprano Custer LaRue has been recognized by critics and audiences alike as one of America’s leading early music singers. She has recorded English and Scottish music with the Baltimore Consort for the Dorian label. Her singing was called “pure and gorgeous” by “CD Review.” A “Stereophile” reviewer wrote, “After hearing LaRue's incredibly gorgeous rendition of ‘In a Garden So Green,’ I stopped the disc and just sat for a while getting my breath back.” Howard Bass has performed as soloist, accompanist, and in ensembles throughout the United States. In the metropolitian Washington, D.C. area, he has performed and recorded with the Smithsonian Chamber Players, the Folger Consort, the Baltimore Consort, La Rondinella and the Choral Arts Society of Washington. Among the popular and wellloved ballads in the program are “Barbara Alley,” “Early One Morning," and “The Ashgrove.” “Like as the Lute," from which the program draws its title, is a song by John Danyel, with words by his brother, who was one of the court poets for Queen Elizabeth I. Other composers whose music is featured include John Howard Bass Dowland and Pierre Attaingnant. Tickets for the 8 p.m. performance are $10, and group rates are available. For information or reservations, call The Theatre at Washington, Va., 675-1253.

10 Tips to change your diet and lower cancer risks By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Scientists believe that 80 percent of all cancers are associated with a few lifestyle factors we easily control: diet, smoking, and exposure to the sun. No one can predict who will get cancer, but by making simple choices, you can increase the odds in your favor. You can significantly lower your cancer risks by concentrating on the most important factors. Be aware of other risks, but put them into perspective. The American Cancer Society says that about 35 percent of cancer deaths are related to diet, about 30 percent are related to smoking, and sun exposure is responsible for about 1-2 percent of fatal cancers and 30 percent of cancers overall. In my nutrition column this week, I’d like to share with you 10 tips from The Cancer Society to change your diet and lower your cancer risk. 1. Eat your spinach (and other veggies). Fruits and vegetables contain nutrients like vitamin A and C, which may help lower cancer risk. They are also low in fat and high in fiber. Eat one extra serving of fruit or vegetables each day. Work towards a total of at least five each day. A serving is: • one medium piece of fresh fruit. • one-half cup of fruit or vegetables (raw or cooked). • one cup of raw, leafy vegetables such as spinach or lettuce. • three-quarters of a cup of juice. 2. Cook lean meat the lean way. • Choose unmarbled cuts of round, shank, tenderlion or sirloin beef, center loin or tenderloin pork, fish, skinless poultry and other lean meats. • Trim off outside fat. Then cook on a rack so fat drips away from meat, or drain fat from meat cooked in a skillet. • Skinless poultry won’t be dried out if you cover it for at least part of the cooking time and avoid “overcooking. 3. Make meat portions small. Fat adds up quickly with excessive portions, even of lean meat. • A healthful serving of meat is about the size of a deck of djrds. Translate that to three ounces of boneless, cooked meat (four ounces before cooking). • Make your limit five to seven ounces (cooked weight) per day. 4. Indulge in pasta, bagels, bread and other lowfat grain products. • Many grain products are short on fat and calories, while often rich in nutrients and dietary fiber. Enjoy six or more servings a day. ■ • Make at least four of those servings whole grains, like whole wheat bread and pasta, brown rice, and whole-grain cereals, since they are even higher in fiber and nutrients than other grain products. 5. Get adventurous! Try a new fruit or vegetable each week. • Make healthy eating fun and boost nutrition by trying many different fruits and vegetables. Variety is the best assurance of getting the various vitamins, minerals and other food components being studied for their cancer-preventing effects. • When selecting unfamiliar fruits, be sure they are ripe (for best taste and nutrition). If you need help, check with your grocer. • Before you decide whether you like a new fruit or vegetable, serve it at least three or four times, perhaps even prepared in different ways. It takes time to develop the taste for new foods, but it’s worth it! . 6. Choose slimmed-down cheeses. Lowfat cheese offer all the im portant nutrients in traditional cheeses with less fat and fewer calories. • Try part-skim mazzarella, farmer’s cheese, ricotta, cottage cheese, and new reduced-fat versions of traditional cheese such as cheddar and Swiss. • Read labels carefully. “Lite” cheese is not necessarily low in fat. • Choose lowfat versions of other dairy products too. Opt for milk that’s 1 percent fat or less, use plain yogurt instead of sour cream for dips, ice milk or frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. 7. Trade in your chips for popcorn. Fat in snacks can add up to sabotage an otherwise lowfat diet. Try' some of these lowfat choices: • Fresh fruit or vegetables • Dried fruits such as raisins and dried apricots • Pretzels, breadsticks, lowfat crackers (such as rye wafers, flatbreads, and graham crackers), mixtures of your favorite dry cereals • Popcorn with no or very little oil 8. Add flavor without fat. • For veggies, sandwiches and salads: Substitute spicy mustard, lemon juice, reduced-fat salad dressing, salsa, flavored vinegar or low fat yogurt for mayonnaise, salad dressing and sour cream. • Season with herbs and spices. Stick to one or two herbs per dish until you master the art. Since dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh, use 1/4 to 1/3 as much. • Try lowfat sauces. Poach or bake chicken and fish with tomato or orange juice. Boil rice or couscous with low-sodium bouillon. Substitute evaporated skim milk for cream in w hite sauces. • Spread honey, low-sugar fruit spread, or cottage cheese on bread or toast. BSfOKYdU Install Nsw Central Air Censlitiening... Con©' UerTVite Great Offer! tahEffidenpy Md-On Attention ^--— Virginia Potomac Edison Customers with Fossil Fuel Heat! (Sorry, not customers with natural gas heating systems.) If you are a Virginia Potomac Edison customer who has an existing fossil fuel, forced air heating system (other than natural -a-S), you can save up to $300 on a high-efficiency electric add-on heat pump! With an add-on heat pump, you can save enough on heating to pay for cooling...providing you with year-round comfort. To encourage four-season energy savings, the Virginia State Corporation Commission has approved an experimental rebate program, assigned through participating dealers, for the first 100 qualifying Virginia households who respond to this offer in 1993. Adding a heat pump to your existing forced air heating system can decrease your heating cost significantly, especially during mild weather. If you are considering replacing your central air-conditioning system, your new high efficiency add-on heat pump replaces that unit and reduces your total heating and cooling energy consumption. If you dont have central,air, this offer allows you to add energy efficient summer cooling and save enough on your heating energy cost to pay for cooling.

Order wisely when ordering out. Don’t leave healthy eating habits at home. Use what you’ve already learned in this pamphlet to help you select wisely, then: • Insure a nutritious meal. Ask about ingredients or preparation methods unclear from the nftenu. • Make reasonable special requests: Ask for sauces and dressings on the side, little or no butter, etc. • If you eat at fast food restaurants often, choose lower-fat selections most of the time. These generally include: grilled (not fried) chicken sandwich without mayo, garden salad with light dressing, pizza with veggies, cheese-less or reduced-fat burger. 10. Stop number crunching. It doesn’t take a math whiz to eat a healthy diet. Learn which foods you should eat more or less of, and you won’t have to count calories or even grams of fat. Just be sure to balance higher fat treats with more nutritious, lowfat selections. This week’s recipes are from the new VIP Cookbook.

George Whorton Mr. George Marshall Whorton, 65, of Culpeper died Sunday, April 18 at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Mr. Whorton was bom July 16, 1927 in Rappahannock son of the late James Edward and Ida McFarland Whorton. He was a member of the Jeffersonton Baptist Church and a retired Relatives find their ancestors By WAYNE F. BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Saturday, April 3, 1993, our small group met at the Entrance Station at Panorama on Skyline Drive to begin our day’s adventures. , Our journey was in two parts, both with the same ending. Our original party consisted of, viz: “Dutch” and Catherine Cornell Waters of Luray, Donald and Sally Dwyer Keyser of Old Hollow, Jennie Cornell Frazier of Luray, Dorothy Kelley McWaters of Rixeyville, and Wayne Baldwin of Madison County. Our goal that brisk, rather chilly morning at 10 o’clock was to go, first to the Waters Cemetery near the Drive at Rocky Branch Trail. This I’d heard about for many years but had not been to and since Mr. Waters was a decendant of those buried here and seemed eager to go along and show us it’s location, we appointed him guide. Here were found seven marked graves, six of which had tombstones with inscriptions. The seventh was just a field stone. Resting here among the quiet solitude in Shenandoah National Park are James A. and Barbara Judd Waters, great-grandparents of Dutch. Others of that family also are here. “Dutch” and “Cat” took their leave from the rest of us after we gleaned for our records the information from the stones adding other notes from picking Dutch’s brain. Dutch making mention of his Uncle Mervin Waters having once told him all who were buried here but he failed to write it down thinking he’d remember. The five of us continued. Stopping at the Hull School Fire Road which was our route to the next cemetery. I had been shown this one many years ago by my great-uncle, Daniel Baldwin, and his father-inlaw, Luther Weaver. Mr. Weaver being familiar with it as he had helped bury my great-great-grandfather, George R. Baldwin, here in 1914. Several years I’d continued coming to the cemetery and trying to keep it clean. My last trip up until this time was on September 29, 1990. On this trip our party took turns carrying a 80 pound concrete block upon which I’d inscribed my great-great-grandfather’s name and dates of birth and death. On this trip we had with us Aunt Marjorie * Weaver Baldwin, who was not to be with us again. £ Today, however, as the wind died down and the sun warmed our chilled bones and noses, we made our way downhill. Our path as might be expected, was a rather well defined, rock lined ancient road. About a mile later we were crossing a tributary of the 'Thornton River, and an area once a meadow now marshy springing with new growth. " .Helping the ladies cross over onto dry land once again, we were on solid ground. Quite suddenly, however, we were slowed down by the gnarl of broken trees and grapevines. At last we were on the site of were the old house used to be as was attested to by the buds of a carpet of daffoldils. A old rock-lined hand dug well caught our attention, thinking ; how dangerous for man or beast this could be, but someone sometime (who must’ve thought the same) had laid branches etc. over the opening to prevent that possibility. It seemed the further toward the cemetery we got the thicker the mess was. I know I knew where the cemetery was as I had been there time and again. This time by having to take such a circuitous route I actually walked upon the place before I realized I was in it. Calling wildly to my commrades who were scattered at this point, trying to find their own paths of less effort, we finally joined. “Where is it?”, asked Dorothy. Right there I pointed. How over grown it was. We cleared all we could, sat down among those resting there and filled our bags of nurishment carried along for that purpose. Sally found her great-grandfather, Joseph C. Bowen’s, stone and was greatly excited. She also found that Joseph’s father and mother, William and Anna Beahm Bowen are also buried here. They are Sally’s great-great-grandparents. Dorothy McWaters also descends from the same people but is still another generation (lown the tree. These are not my lineal ancestors, but rather collaterial. Then we returned, picking a less tangled way. No accidents with the exception of Jenny Frazier once falling down on one knee after getting her foot caught in a grapevine. The troupe suffered no side effects, all reports next day were good. carpenter. Survivors are his wife Mrs. Dorothy B. Whorton of Culpeper; two sons, George Marshall Whorton Jr. of Reva and Edward F.

Out-of-t he-ord i nary vegetables is new trend One of the new trends in the vegetable market is the appearance of many vegetables, sometines referred to as baby or midget vegetables. The majority of vegetables sold as miniatures are immature specimens of varieties which tend to be small in size and soft in color. They are sweet in flavor and delicate in texture. A common one is baby com. Baby com is ordinary corn Baby corn is simply immature ears of ordinary com harvested at the time when the silk just emerges from the husks. It is too late to harvest when the silk starts to turn into the darker color or begin to dry up. The tiny ears, about two-inch in size on cobs, are used in Oriental stir-fry dishes, or as pickles and in German salads (with husk on). In addition, there are true dwarf varieties of vegetables in which the edible portion is usually small. These true minature vegetables include Tom Thumb lettuce with tennis ballsize head; gold nugget carrnts about 2 inches to 3 inches long; and the waxy, firm potato referred as yellow flesh ladyfinger that is about an inch in diameter and four inches long. European restaurants served them first The increased popularity of miniature vegetables began in Europe. As many were imported from European and Asian countries, they were soon used in gourmet restaurants in the United States. The trend has rapidly spread in recent years. There are many types of miniature vegetables now appearing in specialty store, roadside stands, salad bars, and conventional supermarkets. Lately, more and more miniature vegetables have been grown by local growers. Some even find their way into backyard plots. Miniature vegetables are perishable Still, the price is high for any miniature vegetables compared to ordinary vegetables. They are extremely perishable and have limited shelf life. To beat the high price, home gardeners ought to try to grow some of their own, since seed sources are not difficult to obtain in this country. In general, normal vegetables production practices are used except for closer spacing and an earlier harvest for most miniature vegetables. The most difficult aspects may be selection of the appropriate variety, and timing of harvest to maintain size within a very small allowable margin for error. Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech. Quilt raffle to benefit scholarship and 4-H trip The Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers Clubs and 4-H Clubs are conducting a fundraising project this spring to benefit two projects in the county, the E.H. scholarship and the 4-H delegates going on the Japanese exchange program. “So far we’ve sold approximately $900 worth of tickets,” said Betty Smith, a member of the fundraising committee and one of the E.H. memebers who helped make the quilt. “$250 will be used for the E.H. scholarship given at the RCHS graduation to a graduating senior and the balance will be divided among the three 4-H delegates participaing in the Japanese exchange program during the summer of ’93,” added Marie Davis, E.H. Scholarship Chairman. “There are actually three prizes,” said Helen Smith, Extension Agent. “We have had several very generous donations for this fundraiser.” The members of the E.H. Quilting Class taught by Katherine Riley have donated a lovely handmade appliqued quilt for the first prize. Local artist, Geneva Welch, has donated a print worth $150 for the second prize, and Donna Brune of Persimmon Springs in Flint Hill is giving a gift certificate for a floral arrangement for the third prize. Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. Tickets can be purchased from E.H. member, Mark Jenkins, Marsha Freeman, Courtney Welch, or at the Extension Office. Your support will be appreciated for these two worthwhile projects. The quilt and print are on display in the window of the Washington Arts Building on Gay Street. Drawing for the prizes will be at 1 p.m. on April 24 the same day as the Fodderstack 10KM Classic. Low birth weight babies may be eligible for SSI By BRUCE A. HUNDLEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Low birth weight babies may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, according to Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper. And being eligible for SSI usually means you are eligible for Medicaid. SSI is a federal program that provides monthly benefits to individuals who are 65 or older, or blind, or have a disability and who don’t own much or have a lot of income; and the Viewtown area news 1 By GLADYS DODSON •37-4904 Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Dodson, Mr. and Mrs. Gene M.

Infants who weigh less than 1200 grams, approximately 2 pounds 10 ounces at birth are considerd disabled and may qualify. Even an infant who weighs more than 1200 grams at birth, and has serious medical problems, may also meet the SSI disability requirement. Generally, while the infant is in the hospital, notes Hundley, the parents’ income is not counted and will not affect the baby’s eligibility. However, if the baby is receiving SSI and is discharge to go home with his or her parents, the parents’ income will be reviewed and may affect the baby’s continuing eligibility for benefits.

Make Your Garden a Canvas With winter finally over, think of your garden as a giant blank canvas awaiting the first splash of color. Painting the landscape with annuals offers a limitless palette of hues, from rich purples and maroons to softer pastels and sunkissed whites. Whatever your color preference, annuals will provide instant beauty to your home, from spring through fall, at a very small cost. ' By definition, an annual is a plant that grows, flowers, sets seed and dies within the same year. These versatile flowers are fancied by gardeners around the country for the variety of garden roles they play. For example, impatiens and begonias, which grow well in low light, are often used to brighten dark, uninteresting corners in the landscape. Want to dress up a mixed border? Try planting pansies, marigolds and zinnias, a perfect trio whose flashy flowers and flamboyant foilage will add a rainbow of interesting colors and shapes. Annuals can also be used as temporary groundcovers, and some, such as phlox and verbena, bring a spot of color to rock gardens. Still other annuals, including petunias, deanthus and stocks, fill the air with a delicate sweet scent, offering fragrance as * part of their allure. Even if gardening space is limited, you can spruce up patios, decks and terraces by growing brightly-colored annuals in portable containers. There’s no mystery to growing beautiful flowering annuals. In fact, if you start with healthy bedding plants, as opposed to starting from seed, all that’s really left to do is improve the soil, provide regular waterings and pray for sunny days ahead. Choosing a Site Some annuals tolerate shade, but most flowering varieties grow best in full sun, usually requiring a minimum of seven hours for good flower production. So, choose a site that receives full sun for the widest selection and most colorful kinds of annuals. Plants recommended for shaded areas perform best in a Thousands of blooms and shrubs fill the formal English gardens of Oatlands plantation, near Leesburg. partially or lightly-shaded area. In deep shade or locations that do not receive any diect sun, even shade-tolerant plants may experience stress and fail to flower. Selecting Bedding Plants Busy homeowners may find it easier to buy and transplant bedding plants rather than start annuals from seed. Look for bedding plants with deep green leaves and compact growth. Quality bedding plants are short and have thick stems, with side branches close to the base, rather than tall and “leggy." Although annuals with blossoms seem more attractive, select bedding plants whose buds have not yet opened. Annuals come into bloom more quickly if planted in the bud stage. Home and Garden Arthur W.

For Heat Pump Efficiency Look Inside Home Second Coil Savings Add Up Over Time Ask most homeowners if their indoor evaporator coil matches their outdoor condensing unit and they’ll look at you like you’re speaking a foreign language. But ask them if they want to save up to 15 percent a year on home energy bills and they’ll listen intently. Unfortunately, many homeowners make a costly mistake when they replace their outdoor central air conditioner or heat pump system. They fail to replace the indoor evaporator coil, as well. The result is an unmatched system, where the efficiency delivered is up to 15 percent below what is promised, or what the system is capable of producing. A Split System A central air conditioning or heat pump system is a “split” system consisting of two parts; an indoor unit (coil) and outdoor (condensing) unit. These two parts are designed specifically to fit together as a coordinated team to provide to-notch performance and maximum efficiency and comfort. Since both components are necessary for a working system, both parts of the existing system were originally installed at the same time. So if you install a new outdoor unit, be sure to match it with a new, equally efficient, “matched” indoor unit. Today, virtually all indoor coils are rated for efficiency by the Air Conditioning and Refrigeraton Institue (ARI), and can be relied upon to work in tandem with the outdoor unit. “It is imperative that homeowners know the benefits of changing the indoor coil when replacing the outdoor unit,” says Derrick Marris, senior director, residential products, Bryant Heating & Cooling. “In many cases, homeowners don’t even realize they have an indoor coil, because it’s inside the duct work and can’t be seen, or they opt not to spend the extra money upfront.” Getting What You Paid For Replacing the outdoor unit, but leaving the old indoor unit in place may offer you the lowest price, but it won’t give you the best value. At best, when your air conditioning or heat pump components don’t match, you’ll be sacrificing comfort. The system may still work, but it won’t perform up to the promised energy efficiency. In the long run, this will also cost you more money. At worst, when the components aren’t matched, it could create extra stress on your system, resulting in unnecessary, premature failure. “To the untrained eye, two indoor coils may look alike, just as two keys may look alike,” says Marris. “But one key will leave you in a hot spot if it doesn’t properly match thelock. The same holds true for air conditioning and heat pump systems. If you don’ replace your indoor unit, you won’t be getting what you paid for.” Bryant’s studies show that when a typical condensing unit of today —with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 10.0, the minimum according to Department of Energy standards — is combined with a typical 1970s indoor coil, there is a five percent drop-off in capacity, an 11 percent loss in efficiency and a 20 percent increase in compression ratio, w'hich could lead to premature compressor failure. The study compared two clean, identical units, one with a matched indoor evaporator coil, the other with an older indoor coil. The older coil was devoid of the dirt and grime that would be found on a typical 15 year-old coil, culprits that are sure to lessen capacity and efficiency even more, while further taxing the outdoor unit.

Decorating Tricks Help Expand Rooms Short on space and money, but long on spacious looks? There are a variety of strategies you can employ to expand visual space that are not necessarily expensive. Skylights should be given top consideration for your redecorating dollar. They are not necessarily expensive (especially if you install them yourself) and they contribute more than any other single alteration to expanding visual space. Of course, skylights may not be feasible for all rooms or structures, but do consider them where possible. Simplify interior space by removing fussy or unnecessary architectural detail. Removing space-constricting moldings, chair rails, etc., may also modernize the appearance of your home. Use light colors. Paint is a very inexpensive way to make a small space look larger. Any very pale shade will work. Paint the ceiling the same shade as the walls or lighter. If you prefer wallpaper to paint, a directional geometric pattern can often extend walls visually. Keep the background color light and dominant throughout. Use the same flooring throughout the house and keep it light colored. This serves to extend the visual flow from space to space. The very best option (if you are lucky enough to have it) is hardwood flooring with a light or white-washed finish and a glossy sealer. Maximize your windows. The brighter a room, the larger it looks. Likewise, by drawing your eye outside, windows make spaces feel bigger. You can maximize the effect of your windows by leaving them uncovered or by using a low-profile treatment like shades or blinds that “disappear” when pulled (especially if they match the walls in color). Minimize your furnishings. Keep them few, ’small in scale, light in color, and go easy on pattern. Rich texture can provide interest in lieu of pattern. Use glass tables for their “invisible” quality. Place furniture in corners and against walls — never in the center of the room. Use mirrors. You need not go to the expense of custom mirroring entire walls. Ready-made mirrored closet doors are available quite reasonably. Even a single wall-hung mirror next to the dining table, for example, can make a major difference in a small space. ..to show you samples of canvas or aluminum awnings, canopies, and carport covers, patio and poolside protectors.

This simple gazebo makes an attractive addition to the gardens and lawn of Fairleigh House. In Battle of Weeds First Rule Is ‘Know Thy Enemy’ Let’s face it, weeds are a gardener’s worst enemy. No matter how many you till or pull out by hands, there are countless more waiting to rear their ugly heads. Fighting this never-ending battle is even more frustrating if you have routinely maintained the garden by watering, fertilizing and adding soil amendments. What else can you do? Learn to identify the type of weeds that are making their home in your garden. Dandelions, quackgrass and ragweed are the most common, but hundreds of other less familiar weeds plague gardeners as well. Spotting the interlopers is easy. It’s a sure bet that anything you didn’t plant yourself is a weed. Which Weed? Weeds fall into three general categories: annuals, perennials and biennials. More than 80 percent of garden weeds are annuals, plants that live and die in a single season and reproduce only by seed. They produce a huge number of seeds, sometimes hundreds of thousands, thereby ensuring at least a handful will find a favorable spot oh your lawn or in your garden beds for germination and growth.

By far, woody perennials are the most annoying weeds. Some species, such as poison ivy, send up vigorous new shoots as far as 20 feet from the parent plant. The smaller, herbaceous varieties are no less annoying. For example, if you hack off a dandelion top without removing the whole root, that one plant will turn into three or four. As a rule, perennial plants survive at least three years, although most live much longer. Like annuals, perennial weeds produce seeds, but they also reproduce vegetatively, from nodes on underground stems and/or roots. Biennial weeds live for two seasons, growing only roots, stems and leaves the first year and producing upright stems that bear flowers and seeds the second year. Common predators include mullein and Queen-Anne’s lace. The Best Defenses No garden will ever be completely weed-free. Nevertheless, attacking weed problems early in the season — before they set seed — is the best defense. If it’s too late to do this, try mulching around your plants to smother out any weed seeds that germinate. Or, better yet, use a landscape fabric to control weeds in permanent ornamental plantings. Also called geotextiles, today’s multi-purpose landscape fabrics deter weed growth around trees, plants and shrubs in the garden bed. Thousands of tiny funnels, or - “micropores,” give them their ability to permit the free flow of air and water while simultaneously blocking sunlight and weeds. Landscape fabrics are also extremely economical. In some cases, hand weeding works best, especially for removing weeds growing close to plants. To avoid back injury, pull weeds from a sitting or kneeling position. Never till comfrey, dandelions or Jerusalem artichokes, wich can reproduce easily from tiny bits of the original root. Instead, dig these notorious garden thugs out by hand. Hoes are wonderful weeding tools. They come in diffeent shapes and sizes related to specific tasks. If you’re still losing the battle against weeds, there is one more solution. Add gravel pathways, groundcovers, stepping stones and other hard surfaces to the landscape so that weeds will have fewer places to poke up. OUTDOOR LIGHTING

‘Country’ look offers attractive appearance 1 he real beauty of the country look is that it is so easy (and affordable) to incorporate into your interior. Here are 10 ways to give your house a shot of country charm without breaking the bank: • Stencil a floral or fruit pattern onto your walls, a chair, table or cabinet. • Frame pictures of family and friends and display them throughout the house. Also display collections of favorite items. • Use bright quilts to throw on a couch or dress a bed. • Put wildflowers in a ceramic pitcher. r." — _ • Hang a Shaker-style pegboard and use it. • Look for old-fashioned coffee tins and anything displaying oldstyle advertising art. • Use fresh flowers abundantly. • Useitems with a decidedly country appeal, such as duck decoys, weather vanes and anything with a bovine motif. • Old baskets are decorative and functional. • Opt for a big wooden dining table—the kind a big family would gather around. v ♦VALUE DAYS * i * oALt rnlbt *3,300 MFR.

Wallpapering Easy and Good Solution to Home Decorating An easy way to give a room an entirely new look is to add wallpaper. “Instaling wallpaper is not as difficult as you think. Once you establish your own style of hanging, it gets easier and easier,” said Stephanie Wray, a design center specialist at The Home Depot. First check the condition of walls to determine if you can paper over existing paint or covering, or if you need to remove or prime before you begin. Clean painted surfaces with a solution of bleach and water then prime wall with wallpaper primer before hanging new paper. The importance of primer is two-fold: wallpaper adheres better when placed over primer, and if you choose to hang new paper later, the primer also makes it much simpler to remove the old. Plaster walls, as found in houses constructed 30 yers ago (most newer homes have wallboard), present a special problem. If you do have plaster, you will find it’s a tempermental material and when subjected to the stress of removing old wallpaper or paint, it may crumble and fall away from the wall leaving gaping holes. If possible, choose to sand and prime instead introducing the Honda Harmony Mowers. The perfect balance < ^ of price ◄ \ and performance. j The Honda Harmony Walk-behind Mulching Mower.

After cleaning and priming, gather tools such as a wallpaper brush, bin for water, several dropclothes and towels, wallpaper, level or plumb line, pencil, pallet or putty knife, razor knife, straight edge and a ladder and step stool. To determine the number of rolls needed, measure the height and width of the area, multiply these two figures then divide by the square footage listed on the roll. This number will be the number of double rolls needed for that wall. And make sure to carefully check those seeminly low prices for rolls. When comparing prices, be sure to note whether the price is for a double or single roll of paper. When buying paper, ensure that all rolls purchased have the same lot or run number. Rolls purchased from a different color lot or run may not match exactly. Pre-pasted vinyl is the easier wallpaper to work with. But if you choose to use paper without glue, simply roll out the paper on a dropcloth and spread glue with a wallpaper glue brush. Measure paper on the wall, not the floor. Unroll against the wall, hold putty knife against the wall and paper. Cut above the putty knife leaving 3 or 4 inches of wallpaper at both the top and bottom. After cutting, roll the sheet paste side out and place in water bin. Slowly unroll the paper through the water ensuring that all aras are damp. Fold one end toward the middle of the sheet so that the paste sides are touching. Fold the other end toward the middle also — this process is called booking, and it’s important to lightly fold so a crease is not visible in the paper. Now allow the paper to expand and sit the stated amount of time on the roll so the paste becomes sticky. This could vary from 30 seconds to five minutes depending on manufacturer instructions. After waiting a few minutes, it’s time to hang the first piece. Start in the center of the wall, leaving the bottom part folded and stick the top section to the wall. Brush from the inside out to smooth paste, then unfold the bottom and brush smooth. Lightly run the wallpaper smoothing brush across the paper before cutting, to ensure all air bubbles have been smoothed, remembering to pay special attention to the seams.

Follow the same process for subsequent sheets, making sure to butt the edges of wallpaper together without overlapping. A note of warning: if patterns have to be matched, there will be some loss of paper depending on the size of the pattern repetition. The most important thing to remember when matching seams is not to streth the paper to make them meet. If the glue is of the right consistency, the wallpaper will side easily making the patterns much easier to match. Stretched wallpaper may shrink when dry and leave gaps. After each sheet is hung, sponge and wash excess glue, especially if the glue has made contact with any woodwork or cabinetry. Plan an entire weekend for your first wallpapering project, assuming an area no larger than an average sized bathroom. The next exercise in wallpapering might only take an afternoon.

Hate Sanding Drywall? There’s Now an Easier Way Nobody ever claimed that sanding drywall joint and patching compounds was an enjoyable experience. Most do-it-yourselders know the process is a rather tedious and often-times messy chore. But there are a couple of ways to make the job a little easier. One method is to try “wet” sanding. To wet sand, use a damp sponge instead of sandpaper to smooth the finish. A high density, IT small-celled polyurethane sponge moistened with lukewarm water works best. For touch-ups a smooth soft cloth will do. Unlike dry sanding, wet sanding creates no dust. You won’t need to wear a mask, use a dust collector and you won't have to clean up fine powder off the floor and near-by funishings after the job is completed. Additionally, wet sanding will not scuff or othewise damage wal Larry s Landscaping Larry Cresce • 703-937-6068 Landscape Design Trasnplanting Pruning Detaining Walls - Brick Patios All Work Guaranteed lboard face paper, as sandpaper sometimes does. Unfortunately, wet sanding is susually a bit more time-consuming than conventional sanding and is usually only practical for small repairs. For larger repairs and for new wallboard installations, try using one of the new lightweight readymixed compounds, such as Sheetrock Lightweight All Purpose Joint Compound (also called Plus 3) from United States Gypsum company. Screens and lattices add visual interest, privacy and cooling shade to small backyard gardens. You Can Remodel a Kitchen Tired of looking at your dingy old kitchen cabinets?

►Kitchen From Page 12 somebody to remodel his kitchen at about the same time we started working on our. Both kitchens are about the same size, and both have similar appliances — stove/oven combo, refrigerator, dishwasher and a microwave that sits on a counter. Our friends says his kitchen cost around $10,000 to remodel, not including new appliances. Our kitchen, including appliances, cost about $3,500 to re-do entirely — from floor to ceiling. Not bad. At this rate, we treated ourselves to a new dining room suite because we actually saved money. I know what you’re thinking — a kitchen is a tough job to tackle. Not really, neither Matt nor 1 are do-it-yourself gurus. Matt writes computer programs for a living and I write stories. We do. however, have help from a few friends at The Home Depot. Whenever we reach a part of the job we’re not quite sure about, we either make a trip to the store for in-depth advice or call for a quick answer to a simle question. Most of our cost-savings came from using ready-to-assemble cabinets. The cabinets couldn’t have been difficult to put together becaue I watched Matt sit in front of the television, screwdriver in hand, and soon he had several completed cabinets surrounding him. Matt doing the work himself saved us almost 50 percent of the • cost of ready-made cabinets. Also, you wouldn’t think new lighting would make that big of a difference, for less than $50, however, we installed two fluorescent light fixtures that not only triple the brightness of the room, but decrease our energy bill as well. The lighting installation also took less than two hours. I mentioned earlier that we almost have a bright, cheery, completely functional kitchen. The “almost” is the only drawback I see to do-it-yourself work. For the last two months, our kitchen has “almost" been finished. It’s not that the work is overly time consuming, it’s just that some weekends were sunny and more suitable for a breezy drive through the mountains than they were for installing cabinets. And it’s always better to go to dinner and a movie after work than it is to finish painting. In real work time, the process should have taken us about four dedicated work weekends. With all of our entertainment distractions, though, it’s been almost five months since we started the kitchen. That’s not such a long time, however, when I consider that our friend, the guy who hired a contractor, waited about four months for his kitchen to be completed. As far as the remodling work itself, we had fun doing it. Most of the time, It would have been really interesting for someone to walk into our kitchen, not knowing what we were doing, to see Matt and me both on our hands and knees pushing rolling pins across the floor. We were smoothing out our new linoleum, of course. And it also would have been a lot of fun to be a fly on the wall and watch Matt, a man about 6’1" weighing in at over 250 pounds, get excited and flash an ear-to-ear grin when he plugged in the stove he had moved from one wall to the other, Imagine, it actually worked when he turned it on! I guess the most fun is watching Matt walk into the kitchen and place his hands on his hips to survey his handiwork. “Looks like a professional did it,” he proclaims proudly. Yes, it certainly does. The kitchen looks so good in fact, that Matt is now considering updating our bathroom by knocking down a wall, installing a whirlpool tub and adding his and her closets. I sure hope I’m up to the extra work. Okay, so it sounds like Matt has already done most of the work. I could have done it, I know’ I could. After all, I did do the wrallpaper... well, almost. r Be Resourceful. Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT WORKER B Nothing works harder than our B7100 HSD tractor.

A small pond with aquatic plants makes an attractive centerpiece to an attractive informal garden and patio. Energy Loans Help Buyers Home buyers today have a relatively unknown resource available to them that can make purchasing the house of their dreams a reality. Called energyefficient mortgages (EEMs) by lending agencies, these mortgages enable buyers of energy-efficient homes to buy more house for their money, according to the Edison Electric Institute and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, two national electric utility trade associations. If you are a first-time home buyers, EE Ms may also mean being able to qualify for a new home that you would not have been able to otherwise. You can also use an EEM to finance energy-saving home improvements in your present home. It’s true that a house built to high energy-efficiency standards? can lower your montly utility bills. As a result, more of your income can now go to the montly mortgage bill instead. This is why an increasing number of lenders should be more willing to offer EEMs. EE Ms work by extending a borrower’s standard maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 28 percent to 30 percent when purchasing an energy-efficient home. This ratio is the maximum percentage of your gross income that a bank will allow you to dedicate each month to the PITI —principal, interest, taxes and insurance. The five secondary mortgage insurers — Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae). Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) — have agreed to buy EEMs from the primary lenders —local banks and other lending agencies. But despite being available since the early 1980s, EEMs today remain unknown to many local banks and to most home shoppers; only a few were underwritten last year. Many electric utilities across the country now offer new-home construction programs. These programs encourage builders and remodelers to build to high levels of enegy efficiency. The programs can also help you provide certification of energy efficiency for your new or existing home. Call your electric utility’s residential marketing department. They have more information about using electricity efficiently to save money and help protect the environment.

Building Energy Efficiency Pays Over Time Before you remodel, consider the energy aspect of your home improvement. You can add real value that extends beyond th eproject’s functionality and style. And, your electric utility can oftentimes lend assistance — maybe even with cash incentives — according to the Edison Electric Institute and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, two national electric utility trade associations. "Energy-efficient houses add value that goes beyond lower energy bills every month,” said Tom Farkas, manager of residential programs at the Edison Electric Institute. “To be energy efficient, a house must be built with superior construction materials and methods. This means energy-efficent houses will offer more comfort and quiet. It means their indoor air quality will be better. And, because these houses use electricty efficently, they will help protect the outdoor environment as well. When it comes time to sell the house, these factors will also add up to a house with a higher resale value.” Starting Out "Begin improving your house’s energy efficiency by realizing that energy efficiency does not mean doing without to save money. It means getting the most value from every kilowatt-hour of elec tricity you buy,” said Farkas. “And to do that, you must consider the entire house’s energy efficiency, not just that of a planned addition. You need to look at the - house as a single energy system — rather than as a collection of independent components and equiment. High-efficiency windows will be a waste of money, if the attic has no, or too little insulation. Each component affects the others. And for better or worse, a planned addition will become inter-connected with the house’s existing system.” When you sit down to analyze your house’s energy-efficiency aspect, you have three areas to consider. • Tighten the House’s Thermal Envenlope. • Specify High-Efficiency Electric Appliances. • Install Controls for Efficient Electricity Use. Sealing the Envelope A house’s thermal envelope includes its roof, walls, windows and doors, insulation (ceiling, walls, floors over unconditioned crawl spaces), ventilation, and caulking, weather-stripping — everything that separates the inside from the outside. Each of these elements directly affects your house’s heating and cooling loads — as well as its comfort, quiet, and overall value. Finding Efficient Products During the past 20 years, electric appliances have steadily increased their energy-efficiency levels. Examples include: \ • Electric heat pumps can return up to $4 in heating or cooling for each $1 spent on electricity to run it. • Microwave ovens can cook a meal using up to 90 percent less energy than a gas oven. • Compact fluorescent light bulbs consume 75 percent less electricity than their incandescent counterparts. • Refirgerators can now use as little as half the electricity of those built in the 1970s. When you are selecting appliances and equipment, specify the highest efficiency level you can afford. You will pay more at purchase time, but ask the salesperson about the payback period — that’s the time it takes for the appliance’s monthly energy savings to pay you back for the higher purchase price. Keeping Control How the household uses the energy-efficient electric appliances and equipment determines your electric bill. Energy-(and money)-saving equipment here ranges from light timers and dimipers, to set-back thermostats, to fully integrated home automation systems. The new home automa tion systems can give you precise control over the house’s total energy use. Some systems can also take advantage of the discount electricity-rate periods now offered by many electric utilities, enabling large applicances to be run during them. The Utilty’s Role Ameica’s electric utilities want home owners and remodelers to call them for more information on using electricity efficiently. Besides serving as a valuable thirdparty source of information for efficiency recommendations, many electric utilities across the country now offer programs and services that encourage electric energy efficiency. These activities include: • Energy-efficient retrofit and new-home construction programs. • Information and advice on energy-efficient equipment. • Home energy audits. • Cash rebates for high-efficiency equipment or construction technologies. • Zero, or low-interest loans for energy-efficiency improvements.
