But sometimes it seemed like they weren’t talking to each other. School Superintendent David Gangel answered several questions, however. He said that school officials will submit copies of any bills parents receive for medical care directly to the roofing company’s insurance carrier, and they expect that company to pay those bills. , Dr. Gangel also promised he will never again approve a roofing proSee Parents, Page A-6 Rappahannock News Stall Photo* Sharon Kilpatrick Rescue workers tend to some of the 39 students overcome by fumes last Thursday. Toxic Cleaner Caused Illness 39 Students Treated By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Thirty-nine pupils at Rappahannock County Elementary School were sent to hospitals in Culpeper and Warrenton last Thursday after they felt ill. The malady was apparently caused by fumes from cleaning fluids a roofing company was using on outside windows to remove roofing materials from the glass. The most common complaint was headache and nausea. All of the pupils were released from the hospital later in the day. Most required no treatment. A few, who complained of breathing difficulties, received oxygen. One teacher complained of feeling faint and was also taken to the hospital. The roof was being repaired by workers of John T. Morgan Roofing and Sheet Metal Co. of Roanoke under a warranty agreement, said Rappahannock School Superintendent David M. Gangel. The company insisted on doing the work now', and w'ould not delay it until after the school year as Dr. Gangel had requested, “Warranty work has to fit in to their schedule,” he said. Because the county would have pay for the repairs if it was not done under warranty, the company was permitted to do the job now. Similar roof repairs were carried out while school was in session eight or ten years ago, he added. The repair process started on Monday.

During its convention last week, the GOP formally recognized Markham resident Jay Katzen to carry its flag into battle. Mr. Katzen will face incumbent Jerry Wood to represent nearly all of Fauquier (The Plains and Upperville precincts excluded), Rappahannock, and part of Warren counties in the General Assemble. i The gloves came off early during the GOP meeting last Thursday, during a nomination seconding speech delivered by former Wood opponent Robert Darby of Woodville. “I think a politician who makes promises has the obligation to keep them,” Mr. Darby said. “The incumbent ... does not subscribe to this point of view. As you well know, neither does his mentor in the White House. “I wonder if you remember promises Mr. Wood made to the electorate during the last campaign. There were three of them. He promised he would not support any new taxes or tax increases. “His second promise was to submit legislation to obtain impact fee authority for Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, and the last promise was to obtain legislation for Fauquier County to cap increases in, property taxes at five percent a year. “Well, he has a perfect record with these promises; he broke all three of them,” Mr. Darby said. Things are changing in Richmond, Mr. Darby suggested, and the voting on the governor’s handgun legislation is a good case in point. Traditionally, rural counties have been able to have their way with gun control bills, but power is apparently shifting to Northern Virginia and Tidewater, Mr. Darby said. “Our representative is going to have to play politics. He will have to know how to craft a piece of legislation. He will have to know how to build a consensus and support it. H'vwill have to know how to manage a bill, how to debate. “In other words, he is going to have to know how to legislate if he’s going to be able to represent our district the way we deserve,” Mr. Darby noted. “We know, and I. honestly think Mr. Wood knows, that he is not this kind of person. But Jay Katzen, whose very career has demanded of him the kind of talent to implement tough political issues, is the person who could do exactly that," he concluded. The unanimously-selected, unopposed candidate also seemed more than willing to take up the cudgel. “By certified mail tomorrow morning I’m challenging my opponent to 24 debates, one in each precinct,” Mr. Katzen said during his acceptance speech. "I will challenge him to discuss education at 7 p.m. next Wednesday, May 19 in Marshall. “I look forward to his response and to debating the man who brought the Clintons here from Monticello. Everything’s been looking up since — the deficit, spending, and taxes. My opponent got his ‘Bill’ and now we’re getting ours. “I assure my opponent that I will do everything in my power to make sure that come Nov. 2, he and his tax-and-spend, government-as-usual pork, with half of us being taken and the other half being taken for granted, all of that will be history,” Mr. Katzen said. “Ours will be a leadership of ideas, and it is on that basis, a battle of visions, that this election should be decided. Let’s start talking ideas, and the clear contrast between the two candidates,” Mr. Katzen said. In other business before the GOP convention, three resolutions were presented for consideration. Two passed unopposed, while the third was defeated, 47-48. “We call the General Assembly to amend Virginia’s constitution to provide for binding initiative and referendum," resolution committee chairman Harold Dutton said. “This will allow Virginia citizens to express their political will directly in the few instances where representative government does not respond. “Many states, California and Colorado among them, have such provisions and they have not led to disaster, but have increased public input, participation, and interest in politics and policy. Our citizens deserve the same,” Mr. Dutton said. This resolution passed unanimously. “We call on local and state legislators and executives to stop, then to reverse, and sharply to reduce the growth in size of local and state governments and taxes in Virginia,” Mr. Dutton read. This also passed. “We strongly support term limits for executive and legislative elected positions at every level of government," Mr. Dutton offered, third, a resolution that was defeated. Local Delegates Like Katzen By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock delegates to the Republican convention last week were upbeat and enthusiastic about the nomination of Jay K. Katzen for the 31st District seat in the House of Delegates. Katzen, of Markham, will be facing incumbent Democrat Jerry M. Wood, Warrenton, in the November election. Many delegates feel that Katzen has an excellent chance of returning the seat to GOP control. Robert M. Darby of Woodville, who unsuccessfully ran against Wood in 1991, seconded Katzen’s nomination at the convention. Darby, Katzen’s Rappahannock County coordinator said that he felt “very confident” about Katzen, who “is a hard worker.” Other delegates share Darby’s views and optimism. Katzen is a “good candidate,” said Rappahannock committee chairman John Marocchi, “and we’re happy to seem him running.” “We’re feeling upbeat,” said Walter Longyear of Washington. The party is “better organized ‘this year’ with many volunteers,” he added. “He [Katzen] believes in sound and limited government,” said Harry Purdy. EPA Checks Barrel Dump Officials from the federal Envrironmental Protection Agency were on site at the barrel dump off Route 619 in Castleton Tuesday. They have set up a hazardous material staging area, including several trailers, and are conducting further tests on the contents of the barrels before repackaging them in larger barrels for removal later this summer, according to an EPA official. The barrels, which are believed to contain the pesticide malathion, paints and soap residue, were dumped on John B. Singleton’s property several years ago, according to neighbor Bill Laimbeer, who says he witnessed the dumping. An investigation involving the Virginia State Police, EPA agents and the U.S. District Attorney’s office is underway, according to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. Luke said suspects have been identified in the dumping, and he confirmed that the barrels were allegedly brought from outside the county and dumped on the Singleton property. He declined to provide specifics about the investigation or the subjects involved. An official in the EPA regional office in Philadelphia confirmed that a criminal investigation is continuing, but declined further comment.

EXArarano closing costs \ In the process of a real estate transaction, the fees that are labeled as closing costs are many times confused and go unexplained. for the seller, closing costs normally involve real estate commissions, termite clearances and work, title Insurance costs, escrow fees and fees associated with paying off any existing loans. Some areas also have transfer taxes that are paid by the seller. These are all deducted from the gross sales price, along with the remaining balance of any loans. Tor the buyer, closing costs may entail loan fees such as an appraisal, credit report document fees and loan discount points, in addition to a portion of the escrow, title and recording fees. Insurance premiums and prepaid Interest on the new loan if there is one are also common closing costs paid by the buyer. Although who pays for which costs can be negotiated between the parties, most regions of thfe country have their own customary fees and normal division between the buyer and seller as to who pays what.

m 25% Hike Sought in Real Estate Tax By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New» Staff Writer After work sessions last Tuesday and this past Monday the • Board of Supervisors voted to ad•» vertise the budget for the coming * year based on a tax rate of 62 cents per $100 of assessed value on real estate and a rate of $2.90 per $100 for personal property. A public hearing on the budget will be held at 7 p.m. June 7 at the ! courthouse. This budget is basically unchanged from the first draft. The real estate tax rate represents a 24 percent increase from the rate for the current budget of 50 cents per $100. The personal property tax rate would be unchanged. In making the motion to advertise the budget as presented, Hampton District representative Mike Massie said his support for advertising the budget did not mean he supported the budget or the proposed tax rate. Monday’s session was fairly calm as the supervisors heard presentations from several organizations making few comments and asking few questions. Accountant Wally Cox said passing the proposed budget would mean drawing down the general fund surplus by about $400,000 to about $1 million. That would be more than 10 percent of the proposed $8.6 million budget. Mr. Cox said he recommends keeping about 10 percent in reserve and added the surplus at the end of the current year will be greater than anticipated because more funds were budgeted than will actually be spent this year and Council Discusses Screen Ordinance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of Town Council decided not to require that Bruce Critzer’s heavy equipment storage yard be screened from public view. The Planning Commission had recommended in the proposed zoning ordinance that existing non-conforming uses such as the equipment yard be “reasonably screened from view from any public highway or adjoining property by natural vegetation or such other method as may be approved by the Architectural Review Board.” The proposed ordinance, which council members considered at their meeting last Wednesday, would have given the owner one year to comply once the ordinance was approved by council. The existing ordinance also requires screening, but council has never enforced the ordinance. “We only have one (equipment yard) anyway,” Mark Bailey said. “We have had it in the ordinance so Sycamore Hill Tops List Sycamore Hill House and Gardens, the contemporary bed and breakfast started in January of 1988 by Kerri and Stephen Wagner, was chosen as one of the “52 Great Getaways” of the year in the May, 1993 issue of Washingtonian magazine. The small inn, at the top of Menefee Mountain (above the library) was listed as one of the 5 Mountain Retreats in the magazine article, which included recommended getaways as fer-reaching as the Caribben, Alaska, California, and Montana. Readers should visit this wonderful small inn in the spring, the article notes, to take full advantage of the gorgeous blpoming dogwood and redbud trees, as well as the spectacular gardens which include some 2,500 irises, daffodils, tulips, lavender, columbine, peonies, and roses. Syscamore Hill House and Gradens, a 52-acre certified national wildlife habitat, features a multitude of flora and fauna, according to the article. But one of the inn's nicest features is the 65-foot veranda, and the glasswalled living room that brings the countryside indoors. The inn’s guest rooms are beautifully furnished and have panoramic mountain views, Washingtonian said. The article further recommends fine dining nearby, including the Inn at Little Washington, Four & 20 Blackbirds, and the Bleu Rock Inn. The article also noted that during the summer season, Kerri and Steve’s vegetables and herbs are served by the three restaurants. Steve, an internationally-published freelance illustrator, is the designer of the Rappahannock County Seal. The magazine annually publishes its 52-getaways issue. Sycamore Hill House was also featured in Country Inns magazine last year, and is slateds to appear in the October, 1993 issue of Southern Lining as well. SELECT YOUR EXCHANGE STUDENT TODAY!

He also said a major expense causing the surplus to be drawn down will be due to closing the current cell at the landfill, a non-recurring expense. However, the supervisors have not decided whether to enter into an agreement with Fauquier County to take county trash. If they continue to operate at the current landfill, the coming year’s budget will include not only the cost of closing the current cell, but the cost of constructing a new one. The work session last week included the budgets of the constitutional officers including the sheriffs budget. The supervisors have yet to decide whether to fund locally an additional deputy. That position was not included in the budget. In hearing the request from the Fire and Rescue Association for a $13,000 increase in county funds to a total contribution of nearly $129,000 the supervisors asked if the association would object to a requirement that the companies be audited. The assiciation will poll , its member companies on the issue. The Tuesday evening work session included the library board’s request for an additional $4,800 in county funds. The supervisors also heard from representatives of Lord Fairfax Community College, the 4-H Center, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, FGRE, and legal services. Following the public hearing on the budget, the supervisors will schedule a meeting to adopt the budget later in June. many years and never enforced it. Let’s just throw it out.” “I’m in agreement with Mark,” Newbill Miller said. “When you pass something on an exsiting yard, what’s the purpose? If you require screening on that property, you’re putting that property out of business.” Ray Gooch said, “It’s been on the books for seven years, and council has never had the will to enforce it.” Mr. Bailey added, “The use has been there for 50 years. It predates any ordinance. Anybody who bought adjacent property knew it was there.” Brad Fisher noted that taking it out of the zoning ordinance would make that ordinance consistant with the Comprehensive Plan, since the council voted last year to change the Comprehensive Plan to encourage, rather than require, screening for such uses. The ordinance will require screening for utilities and “more than one inoperable motor vehicle on a lot.” Council wrestled with what to allow by right and what with a special use permit in the rural residential zone. Rural residential zones require 1.5 acre parcels in the area with town water and 1.8 acres without town water, but most of the few parcels in. town zoned rural residential are in larger lots. To encourage those large lots to remain large, the ordinance allows agricultural uses not allowed in the village residential zone. However, when council dealt with the ordinance, they first decided to require a special use permit for commercial beekeeping and commercial fowl rather than allowing such operations by right. Then they had second thoughts and ended up undecided but indicated they did not want to allow chicken houses as large as 2,000 square feet without a special use permit. Moving from the zoning ordinance, Mr. Fisher, the town treasurer, submitted the proposed 199394 budget. He said at $98,450 it is identical to the current budget. Council members then decided to hold an extra work session meeting on the zoning ordinance and budget the first Wednesday in June, one week before the regular meeting. Members Were asked to submit any additional suggestions for amendments to the zoning ordinance a week before that, so town attorney Frank Reynolds can compile them and get each member a copy.

The Audit Bureau WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1993 Anger Is No Answer When an emergency occurs or somebody is hurt, our first thoughts are for the safety and well being of our loved ones. That is soon followed by astonishment and amazement. “How could that happen?” we ask, and “Why did they do that?” As the initial shock wears off, astonishment and amazement are replaced by anger and rage. If we can find somebody to blame, we want to blame them. Something went wrong, and it’s someone’s fault. We want a scapegoat to help alleviate our feelings of hurt, outrage and injustice. In a perfect world, things don’t go w'rong unless someone makes them go wrong. And we want to feel that we live in a perfect world. These feelings are particularly strong when the wrong doing involves our children. We know our world is not perfect, but we want it to be as perfect as possible for our offspring. When things go wrong for our children, we feel that someone is probably to blame. When the apparent wrong doer is a trusted individual or institution such as the school, our outrage may have no bounds. .something went wrong at Kappahannock Elementary School last week. That we can all agree on. Who should we blame? Not the teachers. They did a miraculous job handling the children and keeping them calm. Not the fire departments nor the rescue squad. They deserve the highest praise for responses that were swift, efficient and professional. The principals? They too acted professionally in a time of crisis. The superintendent? Some would fault his judgment in permitting the roofing operations to go on during school hours. But he was following accepted practices of other schools, and had the assurance of the roofing company that they wTould not be using unsafe materials. The School Board? They hoped to save the county thousands of dollars by repairing the roof under the warranty, and, like the superintendent, they wrere assured that this would be a safe operation. The roofers? Perhaps. Howr much experience did they have? Were they follow ing approvedprocedures? Were there safety code violations? Perhaps assessing blame is not the proper approach. We need to find out what w'ent wrong. More importantly, we need to put a process in place to ensure that this, and similar incidents, have a very small chance of happening again. This can’t be done in the heat of rightousness and anger. It must be done calmly and dispassionately. Concerned parents, led by Susan M. Parrish and Vinnie L. Carney, are circulating a petition urging the Board of Supervisors to appoint a special committee to investigate the roofing incident. Although their petition contains some inaccuracies (for example, the spray was not a mixture of gasoline and turpentine) their points are wrell taken. There are many questions to be answered. Parents, students and the community deserve answers, but anger is not the proper response. We must work together to alleviate doubts. We must restore trust in the schools and their officials, and let the schools continue their mission of excellence in education. An investigative committee can help us find answers and bring us together again. Let the healing process begin.

Post-Communist Book Reviewed To the Editor: The May 27 issue of “The New York Review of Books,” which may be found at the Rappahannock County Library, contains a valuable article by President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Havel, called “The Post-Communist Nightmare.” Vaclav Havel expresses in a few eloquent paragraphs reasons why we find this era in our history upsetting and baffling, even though it is marked by the longed-for end of communism. He compares the importance of what has happened to the fall of the Roman empire. Havel cautions, “The temptation must be resisted to adopt a disparaging and slightly astonished attitude, one based on a subconscious feeling of superiority on the part of observers who are better off.” In addition to describing what has happened, he has several things to say about what is called for now. Any thoughtful person is a least bound to consider his ideas. I don't believe Vaclav Havel has said the last or the most important word on what we need to do to keep the world from becoming more and more frightful, but I think he has provided us with a framework that is useful within which to discuss national and international affairs. That is why I commend it to you. Vaclav Havel’s approach elevates and stimulates public debate. Of all the things needed today, that is surely one of the most pressing. The dangerous times in which we live make it imperative, as Havel shows, that we drop our low-life attitudes to politics and instead take our citizen’s responsibilities seriously.

Dr. Gangel also has a copy. To All Those Concerned: We the undersigned parents and concerned citizens of Rappahannock County strongly urge the Board of Supervisors to appoint a special committee to investigate the event that transpired at Rappahannock County Elementary School during the week of May 10-13, 1993, when children and staff were exposed to noxious fumes resulting from the roofing project.

What was the school’s response to these complaints? Were children and staff members encouraged to go outside for fresh air? What were the teachers told at the staff meeting regarding this problem? 4) Did Mr. Chappell approach the roofers on Monday, May 10 or Tuesday, May 11 and ask them to suspend work on the project? Who did he speak to? What response, if any, did he get? 5) When work was resumed on Tuesday, May 11, were the same fume generating materials used? How many complaints were received from children and staff on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week? How many absences by students and staff were directly attributable to the fumes?

The Council had requested Baumgardner to change the wording in some portions of the proposed agreement to make its language more specific. In particular, the revised agreement eliminates the possibility of tower construction within the town, limits the utility to poles, wires and lines necessary for the provision of power to the town only, and requires a permit from the town for maintenance of the lines.

GOP Needs Quick Fix By JOHN GOOLRICK With Mary Sue Terry outdistancing potential rivals by 2-1 or better in the latest polls, Virginia Republicans need to focus immediately, if not sooner, on the uphill battle that faces them this fall. Instead they are being asked to focus on something the general public doesn’t give a tinker’s dam about — namely the rules that will govern balloting at the state GOP convention in Richmond June 4-5. The matter of what rules finally prevail is important to the three men who seek the party’s gubernatorial nomination; and changing the recommendations of the rules committee may be the only way there is any possibility of denying former Congressman George Allen the nomination. There are two facets to the recommendations that are cruical. First, that balloting for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general be conducted simultaneously instead of separately; second, that while the nominee must be elected by majority vote and not a plurality, any delegates who abstain from voting shall be excluded in calculating the total vote reported by each delegation. The Earle Williams campaign vigorously disagrees with both of the proposed rules, basically because both would deprive them of a few “wild cards” that might work to their advantage. They would prefer that balloting for lieutenant governor and attorney general take place separately before the gubernatorial balloting begins. If that were the case, then delegates for Mike Farris, who seeks nomination for lieutenant governor, might be open to some deal-making in the gubernatorial contest. If abstentions counted as votes Virginia Through Both Barrels them any sizeable number of such abstentions might make it impossible for any of the three gubernatorial nominees to get a majority of the vote on the first ballot, thus setting up a second ballot. And a second ballot or later strategy is essential for Williams, who cannot win on a first ballot. Conversely, a first ballot strategy is essential to Allen, who has long claimed to have more than 50 percent of the delegates committed to him. If he emerged from a first ballot with less than a majority, then an “emperor has no clothes” mindset could conceivably develop in the convention hall. Whether there will be a hard battle over the proposed rules will depend on when they are presented to the convention Friday while atten- ■ dance is still relatively sparse, or Saturday when at least 12,000 folks | are expected. j But one thing seems clear. The Republican nominee for governor ' cannot afford to leave the convention with any possibility of being perceived as nominated with less than a majority. Yet unless that nominee can find a way to get away from the Richmond convention with a unified party behind him, any chance of victory in November will slip away.

►Parents From Page A-l ject to take place while school is in session. “No roof is worth what the school system, children and parents have gone through,” he said. He also said he will not attempt to make up the full day of school lost, but will ask to use banked time for that day as well as two others missed because of snow. Several parents want a continuing investigation of the children who became sick earlier in the week, before the incident Thursday when children apparently became sick as the result of a compound put on windows in the wing holding the sixth and seventh grades. Several parents said their children are still experiencing syptoms such as headaches and nausea. Elementary School Principal David Smith said last Monday six children -were signed out to go home early because they were not feeling well. On Tuesday 11 children signed out sick. Wednesday seven children went home early because they were not feeling well, and on Thursday before the general evacuation another eight went home early. Mr. Smith said all these children complained of symptoms that might be the result of the roofing project. Parents said there were other children affected who stayed the whole day but arrived home not feeling well. Several missed school some days that week because of illness associated with the roofing, they said. School officials offered to give parents copies of forms provided by the roofing contractor listing the ingredients used in the roofing process. Dr. Werner Krebser said exposure to fumes from the substances on the lists should not lead to any long term effects. Maria Reynolds asked why the school system could not develop an evacution procedure that did not involve sending children home early to empty homes. Dr. Gangel said, as with days when school is closed early because of snow or flooding, children were allowed to make calls to try to let parents know they would be coming home early. He added that the school system would try to find solutions to the problem. ►Fumes From Page A-l agreed that they would use no hazardous materials. The company completed a large portion of the work on Tuesday and Wednesday. A few students complained about the smell of roofing tar, but nobody said that they were sick or the smell was overwhelming. When the area was threatened by thunderstorms on Wednesday, the roofing crew left except for two workers who allegedly were to clean up. Before school started on Thursday, the two workers used cleaning fluids to remove specks of tar-like roofing material that had spattered on windows in the sixth and seventh grade hall. When school opened, several students and teachers complained about strong gasoline-like odors produced by the cleaning fluids. The roofing company was or dered to stop work and leave the school grounds. Students in the sixth and seventh grade hall were evacuated from their rooms. The spray can taken from the workers was labeled “Jellied Vandalism Mark Remover.” Information about the product was requested from the manufacturer, and the state Bureau of Toxic Substances by County Emergency Services Coordinator Dieter C. Kneupfer. On the advice of the Bureau of Toxic Substances, students remained outside the wing of the building for two hours while the building was ventilated with fans. The windows were washed with water and a mild detergent. At the end of the recommended time, students returned to the wing. Several students and a teacher said they had headaches, and some reported feeling faint. At 10:45 the entire school was evacuated and emergency assistance requested. Ambulances from Amissville, Washington, Castleton, Chester Gap, Flint Hill, and the Sperryville Rescue Squad quickly responded. Students feeling ill were checked by the emergency personnel. Some with breathing difficulties were given oxygen, and 39 students were transported to either Culpeper Memorial Hospital or Fauquier Hospital. School personnel tried to notify all involved parents. Around 12:30 school was closed for the day. Because of the intertwined bus schedules, the high school was also closed. The air quality of the building was tested by the emergency services and hazardous materials workers between noon and 1 p.m. The tests revealed “no hazardous or flammable materials,” said Supt. Gangel. As a precaution, the school remained closed the next day to give the building additional time to about and to remove the roofing equipment. Analysis of the cleaning material allegedly revealed the presence of gasoline and toluene. (Toluene is a colorless flammable liquid derived from coal tar or petroleum and used in high octane fuels, explosives, and as a solvent for gums and lacquers.) The school was tested Friday with a photo-ionization detector for volatile organic matter. This machine is used to detect very small amounts of chemicals. No residue could be detected; all tests were negative. Some parents were quite angry at the school administration for permitting the repairs while school was in session and children were present. Others felt that the officials had acted properly, and could not be held responsible for the actions of the roofers. Questions of liability and insurance were still to be resolved. An informational meeting sponsored by the Parent Teachers was scheduled for Tuesday evening. (See related story.) There was little disagreement with Dr. Gangel’s statement, however, that “the roofing project will not start up again during the school year. And we’ll use a different roofing company.” RAA Baseball News § 4 :>r • * vir» In the RAA Babe Ruth league, the Rankin’s Sport Rockies traveled to Madison, Saturday, May 8, winning 11 to 10 in extra innings.

Mr. Cunningham stated that th£ Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services selected Rappahannock County from a group of counties who responded to the 1991 farmer pesticide waste survey;? The other counties selected fo£ cleanup are Warren, Southhampton and Suffolk. The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors conferred theif stamp of approval for the pesticide disposal program during their early March meeting. County Administrator, John McCarthy stated, “This program will benefit the entij*§ county as unwanted and unusable pesticides will be removed from the county and disposed of properly., Mr. McCarthy added, “This pro| gram will take the cooperative eft forts of everyone, Extension, local officials, state officicals and participating citizens, to implement a sue? cessful nrotrram.” * The pesticide collection campaign will be funded 100 percent by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in conjunct tion with the efforts of the Virginia Cooperative Extension and is sched* uled for late summer, 1993. Mr* Cunningham noted, “It’s extreme^ important for farmers to know that if they did not participate in the 199$ survey that they must contact the Extension Office immediately in orS der to be eligible to participate in thd Cleanup Day. Only farmers who coQj tact the Extension office before Jung 1,1993 will be qualified to have their unusable pesticides removed.” «* The County Agent stressed tGS importance of the program arftj wanted to lay to rest any concerns farmers may have regarding regulatory action. “It is perfectly legal to store banned pesticides regardless of container condition. Regulatory action only follows illegal use and improper disposal of banned pesticides; This program offers the farmers of Rappahannock County an economy cal means to dispose of banned and unusable pesticide concentrates left in storage on the farm, at no expense to the farmer.” 3 Anyone wanting to participate th the Pesticide Disposal Program should contact the County Extension Office immediately at 675-3619. mammae NOW THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT, KOONS OF MANASSAS OFFERS YOU A WHOLE NEW WAY TO BUY A CAR, TRUCK OR VAN!

5 * .' * Little Big Railroad Runs in Sperryville : By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer In spite of growing up and living in one of the few counties in the state without a railroad, Sperryville’s Charles K. “Pete” Estes is a buyer, seller and collector of model trains. He says he collects anything made by Lionel from the early 1900s to current trains, but he feels he needs to become more focused. “I really like the 1930s and ’40s and the reproductions of those trains made by Lionel now,” he said, indicating that if he ever weeds his collection, those are the trains he will keep. One he is especially intrigued with, however, wasn’t even made by •Lionel. He has a 1901 train that makes its own steam by burning alcohol. “It generates its own power, like the real thing,” he says proudly. : He also repairs model trains, but 4»is friend Clyde Bryant from Falls JChurch does the more complicated jtepair work. Sometimes they buy a .■broken set just to get parts to repair •other trains. -■ He notes that some people are ready to throw a train set out if it doesn’t work. “Most Lionel stuff can jt>e fixed,” he said, “but they might not like the price.” He said that Mr. Bryant has a lot of specialized tools lor repairing trains. “There are ^vheel presses and wheel pullers,” he 'said. “Everything has to be lined up just right and pressed on. There’s more to it than meets the eye.” v- For seven years he had a shop at the main house on his Sperryville property. He has given that up and as having major renovations made in the house, to fix it up for his mother. ' He said he prefers attending train and toy shows to running a shop anyway. He goes to shows all over Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. “I’ve occasionally gone to Dele ware and New Jersey, but I don’t care for (Interstate) 95,” he said. - The thing he likes best about the Shows is visiting with other dealers. “It’s like a reunion of classmates,” he said. He notes that these shows are Kappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Pete Estes often takes his train collection on the road, stopping at train shows like this one in Harrisonburg. held every year on certain dates, like fire company carnivals. “It’s a circuit, like horse shows or anything else,” he added. Last Sunday he was at a show’ in Harrisonburg displaying his wares and visiting with other dealers and collectors. A 1911 trolley attracted the most attention from small children. They recognized the trolley from “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood." Sometimes he goes looking for a specific train to buy for a collector. Other collectors know he knows the market and will get the train for a fair price. “You have to build a reputation for being honest and giving good value,” he said. “I don’t think anything beats that.” Although collecting trains has been a good investment, Mr. Estes said for him it is a hobby. He said trains have increased in value an average of 7 or 8 percent a year “over the long term,” but “train collecting is a source of pleasure and enjoyment, not a source of wealth,” he added. His trains are O gauge or standard gauge. He doesn’t collect the now popular HO gauge trains. He notes that Lionel didn’t make trains in standard gauge after 1939 because more people were living in apartments and did not have as much room for train sets. Now, he said Lionel is making some trains in a similar large gauge. The standard gauge trains run on tracks more than twice as wide as 0 gauge, and HO gauge is half the width of 0 gauge. Occasionally Mr. Estes buys a box of parts that includes some HO gauge pieces. He sells the cars for $2 and the engines for $5. In comparison a car in 0 gauge will sometimes sell for $100 and engines can run in the thousands of dollars. He is full of observations about his fellow collectors. “A person tends to buy trains of their childhood era, he said. “They’ll say ‘I want to buy a train like the one I once had, but my mom gave it away,’ or if they didn t get the train they wanted as children, it’s the train ‘I should have had, and that’s the train they want.” The result of that is that “the newer trains are becoming more valuable, and the older ones aren’t increasing in value as fast, since the people who associate with them are dying out,” he said. “Amtrack models will be collector’s items some day.” That means that those who associate the romance of trains with the sound of the steam whistle in the night are being replaced with those who know only diesel trains. Mr. Estes notes that steam train collectors aren’t interested in diesel trains “and visa versa.” Another thing he has noticed is that many fine trains never come up for sale. “They get passed down through the generations like the family silver or grandfather’s watch,” he said. Mr. Estes notes that Lionel- has made trains of varying quality. The set parents paid $16.95 for in the 50s was a bottom-of-the-line set, he said, even though that may have been a large investment for that family. “It’s still bottom-of-the-line,” he said. The top-of-the-line sets from that era cost over $100, he said, “and they’re still top-of-the-line.” “Most of the difference is in the quality of the workmanship that went into manufacturing it,” he said. “In most cases the parts are not interchangeable.” He said the details of the top train sets made them “true scale models of the real thing.” Classical Strings Delight Listeners By LEE BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Theater at Washington provided the stage for a splendid performance by the Potomac String Quartet on Sunday afternoon, May 16. Although the weather alternated sun and rain, the quartet gave consistently felicitous readings of compostitions by Haydn, Tschaikowsky and Beethoven before an enthusiastic audience. The performance was all the more remarkable in that the musicians ranged in age from 12 to 15. Some of them have been studying and taking lessons since they were four, and all were serious, diligent and highly concentrated. They were not only individually well trained, but also they formed a closely knit ensemble with an attack, timing and expression that wrere highly professional. The program included familiar works by three of our best know n composers. The music was complex, not easy. Indeed, Haydn’s Op. 74, No. 2 has been described by H.C. Robbins Landon as “high powered” with a “nervous brilliance,” and was “expressly written for a famous violin virtuoso.” Clearly, these young musicians did not spare themselves. For the audience, it was a great pleasure to hear the music performed with such talent, and to share the musicians’ quiet exhilaration and steadfast concentration. Nicolas Kendall, first violin, led the group unobtrusively, but with great skill. He performed the brilliant passages of both the Review Haydn and Beethoven quartets fluently, and yet gave a most sensitive and moving rendition of the melodious “Andante Contabile” from Tschaikowsky’s String Quartet No. 1. His sister, Yumi, the youngest member of the group, played the largest instrument, the cello, with the accomplishment of an adult. Her playing provided fullness and depth to the music. Daniele Sahr, violist, and Jennifer Caine, second violin, added their considerable skills to the performance. While they played a largely supporting role, the music often demanded individual brilliance of them. Their musicianship was always in evidence. One might well reflect, on listening to a concert such as this, that these already well trained musicians, capable of such serious and dedicated work at such an early age, have a lifetime of artistic performances ahead of them. The joy they had in playing together was clearly felt by their listeners, who gave them delighted and spontaneous applause for many curtain calls. It was a most impressive show! Perhaps they will come for another visit soon.
