Planning Commission Approves Subdivision By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Planning Commission recommended approval fdr a subdivision between Rock Mills and Castleton and an efficiency apartment in a garage in Flint Hill. At last Wednesday’s'meeting the planners took up the Bocharnikov subdivision application which had been continued from the August meeting. At that meeting the planners agreed to table consideration of the meeting because several people in attendance said they and their neighbors had not been notified. County Administrator John McCarthy said all adjacent property owners were mailed notice to the addresses used for real estate taxes. He said several nearby, but not adjacent, property owners also received notice. He said he had spoken to several of those people in recent days. Mr. McCarthy said some of the concern comes because the application is called a “special exception.” He said once he explained that granting a special exception does not mean the applicant is being granted any special privilege, most people were satisfied. Michelle Suskind Bocharnikov had applied to divide a portion of the _ former Lucy Triplett property into* five lots. Two of the lots are more than 50 acres and were approved administratively by Mr. McCarthy. The other three lots are over 25 acres, and such lots are normally approved by the Board of Supervisors after receiving a recommendation from the planners through a special exception \^ifh. approvals from the Health Department for septic fields and from VDOT for driveway entrances onto state roads. In this case the planners also askejl Mrs. Bocharnikov to agree to donate a rightof-way to the land along Route 626 if VDOT wants to widen that section of road. The planners also approved an application by Phyllis Pricer and Catherine Criscione to put an efficiency apartment in a two-story garage on their property in Flint Hill. Ar chitect Dwight Matthews represented the owners. Mr. Matthews said that the garage had been moved onto the property at some time in the past and was formerly a house. The plans call for 320 square feet of living space upstairs and 263 square feet downstairs. Efficiency apartments must be 600 square feet or less. The garage building is only a few feet from the property line, making it a nonconforming building. The planners expressed some concern about allowing a more intensive use in a non-conforming building. They approved the application, however, noting that the zoning ordinance does not address that issue. Sperryville Prepares For Apple Festival By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer If October is approaching, so is the Apple Harvest Festival. As the leaves begin to turn, the nights cool off, and the days grow shorter, Sperryville gets ready for the crowds that flock into town for this annual event.

Cost is $5 for adults and $2 for children. Instruction will be provided for novice square dancers. . On Saturday there will be “festival tours” of five area farms. These tours will incorporate the w ork of local artists. There will also be a series of workshops offered. Tours and workshops will be from 10 a.m. until noon and from 2 to 4 p.m. Participants can choose one morning and one afternoon tour or workshop. Each tour or workshop lasts two hours.

Meeting organizers Linda Terry and "Hal Creel urged audience members to write letters opposing the line to the judges on the State Corporation Commission, officers in REC and Potomac Edison, the county’s representatives in the General Assembly, and even members of Congress. Mrs. Terry said she and her husband had moved to Rappahannock because of the natural beauty. “A lot of people feel like we do,” she said. “We don’t think the power line belongs in Rappahannock County... The main reason we are upset is the beauty we will lose. The power will not benefit Rappahannock much at all. The power line destroys property values, not just where it crosses, but when it is in view.” She read from a letter from Beverly Atkins, Commissioner of Revenue, stating that 25-acre lots without power lines across them sell for $3,500 to $5,000 per acre, w’hile ones with power lines sell for $2,500 to $3,000 per acre. Ms. Atkins’s letter also said properties crossed by power lines are slow to sell. She introduced County Adminis- . trator John McCarthy who said the members of the Board of Supervisors all “expressed opposition” to the power line when REC representatives met with them in August. He said the supervisors had decided to “retain outside special counsel” to advise them on how to oppose the transmission line. He advised them not to support another route for the power line through Rappahannock County. “We’re not interested in trading one group of outraged homeowners for another group of outraged property owners,” he said. Mrs, Terry showed slides of the proposed lines, similar to those crossing from Luray to Sperryville. Hal Creel said, “I really want to keep it out of the county whether it crosses our property or somebody else’s property.” Mr. Creel said he works in Washington, I).C. on Capitol Hill and knows that "a lot of letters makes a difference.” He suggested that everyone write several letters, including handwritten ones and urge their friends, even people who don’t live in the county but visit it for its beauty, to write. He introduced James W. “Bill” See REC. Page A-8 School Sewage Systems Need Monitor Wells By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sewage systems at both schools will need expensive changes to meet state guidelines, Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board last week. The water board of the Department of Environmental Quality (formerly the State Water Control Board) issued the elementary school a permit renewal to operate for four more years in August but attached conditions, Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell said. The school system must install ground monitoring wells at the school to determine if the lagoon is leaking, he said. Dr. Gangel said the plan for the wells must be submitted by November 11, but he is hoping that actually drilling the wells can wait until the next budget. There is some confusion about the wells. Some say they only have to be 20 or 30 feet deep, but others say they must drill until they hit water. Mr. Chappell said three or four wells will probably be required. Also the state is requiring that the outflow from the lagoon be measured for ammonia and ammonium nitrate and that the effluent meet state guidelines for those compounds before the next license renewal. Dr. Gangel said Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper is consulting with the school system on these problems. He said ESS officials expect that additional treatment will be required to meet the new requirements for amonia. Dr. Gangel and {ylr. Chappell met with representatives of the water board last week and learned that they may be allowed to hook the elementary school addition to the existing system if they can show See Sewer, Page A-8 “ Rappahannock Sews Staff Photo Cindv Mahan Wheatman rises above the crowd for Crossroads 1993.

VDOT Builds Wetlands . By FRANK EDENS ’ VDOT District Information Officer . Rappahannock motorists daily Jwhiz past this disheveled, scurbby, -wild and overgrown weedlot without >a thought, without a glance. ■ The Covingtion River wetland is ,home to insects, amphibians, small ;animals, birds and other things that •creep and crawl is adjacent to U.S. <211 at Rediviva at Route 622, Gid J Brown Hollow. \ The area serves not only as a ; habitat, but the acre at times is a > storage lot for waters from the floodi ing river, and is always nature’s wa' ter treatment and distribution plant. j This wetland is one of several in 1 the Virginia Department of Trans) poration’s Culpeper district built to J replace similar areas displaced by i construction. | “This weland in one area con; cerntrates the wetland areas dam■ aged or destroyed during the j construction on U.S. 211 between • Washington and Sperryville” ex| plained Culpeper district environ* mental specialist Roger Clatterbuck. “We cannot avoid or save every : wetland area in a construction path,” said Clatterbuck, “but we can try to J minimize the impact or replace it.” He describes the typical wetland i as having w et soils which are low in ; oxygen, which permit only species of ; plants associated with wet conditions to grow and thrive. A wetland is also a “pristine wildlife habitat,” he continued. “It’s ! where you find more wildlife than r anywhere else because of the abundant food supply. It’s a big Sunday brunch for wildlife.” Flooding doesn’t hurt a w'etland, making it a good reservoir, he said. The flow of flood water is slowed which lessens the chances of downstream damage. To illustrate the value of wetlands of flood control, Clatterbuck recounts that along the Mississippi some of the washed-out dikes are not going to be rebuilt. This will permit regeneration of wetlands to help flood control. “So, we’re learning from our mistakes that wetlands are very important in flood control,” Clatterbuck said. As a water-treatment plant, a wetland filters out many contaminants and recharges the ground-water with clean water, “a unique quality of a wetland area,” he noted. This is one of the reasons the Clean Water Act emphasizes wetland preservation. The Covington River wetland was an early project development. It was built early so it would be well established before the two projects to four lane U.S. 211 between Washington and Sperryville were completed. Other , VDOT-developed wetlands are off Route 17 just north of Warrenton along Cedar Run, and in Albemarle County near the Charlottesville reservoir. The Route 17 spur in Fauquier County and Warrenton will require adding acreage to an existing wetland along Cedar Creek.

Day REALTOR LANDSCAPING CAN HELP SALE Landscaping and the effective use of plants can add wonders to your home. This is especially true when it's time to put your home on the market. Wellplaced flowers, shrubs and trees - attractively arranged - can highlight features of your home. A house that is well groomed can mean a lot more dollars in your home's market value. Many professional landscapers can create a look that will make your home stand out among others on the market, thus creating a fresh, inviting look that actually draws buyers to take a closer look. However, landscaping doesn't necessarily mean spending thousands of dollars with a professional. It can be as simple as planting a few flowers, cutting back lawns or trimming hedges to give your property a cleaner appearance. When it is time to sell, landscaping can be one of the easiest and least expensive tuneups for your home that will help attract buyers. It often adds far more value to the house than the dollars spent. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, the Clopton House.

WSA Approves Funds For Surge Protection The Water and Sewer Authority approved paying $5,500 to ESS for alterations to the Sperryville sewer treatment plant to reduce surges when electricity is turned off to the blowers. Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper designed the plans for the alteration and was the only firm to bid on the project, member Charles K. “Pete” Estes noted. He said he had made sure a test was run, and the alteration worked. No surges occurred when the blowers were turned off. He said he hopes that the change will allow the plant to save electricity by alternating times with the pumps running and turned off. He said that April Young from the Department of Environmental Quality inspected the plant recently and said she would fail the lab unless it is air-conditioned. Mr. Estes said Ms. Young said that results on samples could be altered by too much heat in the laboratory. The WSA gave Mr. Estes authority to try to purchase an air conditioner on sale at “end of the season” prices and to contract with Troy Jenkins to knock a hole in the cinderblock wall of the building to install it. The WSA also approved plant operator Donna Chabot’s request for a typewriter, and Mr. Estes said he would try to find a used one belonging to the county. The authority elected new member Richard Smith secretary. They moved slowlj through the agenda last Thursday filling him on the background of bills being paid and collected.

Someone remarked to us that Rappahannock County is not a unified area, so the Rappahannock News really “can’t speak” for the entire county. First, we don’t try to “speak” for the entire county. The paper reports news, events and opinions that affect and are of interest to residents and visitors to Rappahannock County. Not everything that appears in every issue will be of interest to every reader. Second, it’s true that the county is not unified. Chester Gap has strong ties to Front Royal; Amissville is concerned with Warrenton; and much of southern Rappahannock County looks toward Culpeper. Does that mean that the only “real” parts of Rappahannock County are Sperryville, Washington, and Flint Hill? Should the Rappahannock News be concerned only with those villages? Of course not. Rappahannock County is diverse - socially, geographically, economically, politically. That’s one of our strengths. And it keeps us unified. Yasser and Yitzhak It you think Rappahannock County is diverse, take a look at Isreal. If Isreali Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat can make peace with each other, we certainly should be able to solve our important but less wordly problems.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Letters to the Editor VDOT Empowers Employees To the Editor: There is much talk these days about “reinventing government”transforming the federal bureaucracy into a high-performing organization that provides quality service to its customers. Vice-President Gore says part of that transformation involves trusting the employees who actually do the work with more authority. And he’s right. Anyone who doubts that empowering employees can make a public agency more responsive to its customers need only look at what’s happened at the Virginia Department of Transporation over the past several years. VDOT’s 11,570 employees have been the driving force in our aggressive campaign to change the way we do business. Some of the results: Although VDOT employees comprise only 12 percent of the stae work force, they’ve contributed onethird of all suggestions made to state government’s Employee Suggestion Program-VDOT employee suggestions that have saved more than $1 million. •A Productivity Improvement Investment Bank which lets VDOT work units fund innovative equipment has provided a 500 percent return on investment. •Value engineering teams of r VDOT employees have taken a nontraditional approach in looking at every major road project before construciton begins and at other agency processes, saving over $35 million. Just as high-performing organizations in the private sector have done, VDOT has delegated authority and flexibility to its rank-and-file employees. And my personal visits with these employees in all nine of the state’s transportation districts have proved the value of “Management by Walking Around.” For example, equipment operators told me they wanted a say in what new and replacement equipment should be purchased; they are now a vital part of that procurement and budgeting process. Grass-mowing crews were empowered to decide how, where, and when to mow along the roadsides. One crewT recently devised a way to accomplish its mowing in three quarters the time it usually took. Recognizing the contributions these employees have made, VDOT encourages decision making at the lowest possible level. VDOT now has 300 teams of employees around the state who are deciding the most efficient and effective way to provide quality services to its customers-the citizens of Virginia. From our experiences at VDOT, I’m convinced there’s much more innovation and energy leading to new efficiences waiting to be tapped from government employees. Too often, the system has denied them their potential to revise and improve the way things get done. Empowering these innovators and problem solvers in every government agency is where reinventing government can and must start. Now, fortunately, I believe an environment is developing at the state and federal levels that will not- only allow but also encourage government workers to give their very best. RAYD. PETHTEL Richmond (Editor’s Note: Mr. Pethtel is the Virginia Transportation Commissioner.) Republican Gatherings To the Editor: In a recent news article you implied that the recent large gathering of Republicans at the Amissville Firehouse was something new and out of the ordinary. Not so. Republicans have been around and active in Rappahannock County for some time. In the Rappahannock News of Thursday, March 22, 1984, in a page one article that had a large carryover to page 18, your reporter, Daphne Hutchinson, reported attendance of “around 300” at a mass meeting that had been held two days eariler. That mass meeting of March 20, 1984, was to elect a slate of delegates to the State Republican Convention. The vote at that meeting, of people who stated, in order to vote, that they were Republicans, was about 250 for the win ning slate and about 125 for the losing one. That meeting had to be held at the high school in order to fit all the people in, and local party officers estimated that there were 400 people in the stands. Rappahannock County has supported Republicans for quite some time: Kenneth Robinson and his seccessor, French Slaughter, carried the County handily each time that they ran, and their terms in office covered many, many, years. Yours in the interest of unbiased and accurate reporting. JESSE PONI) Sperryville GOP Rally A Success To the Editor: I would like to thank each and everyone for their support and involvement with our Fall GOP Rally at the Amissville Fire Hall on Saturday, Setp. 11. It was a huge success. Space will not allow me to thank everyone by name and in doing so I would surely leave out someone. Be assured .that the large turn out and the excitement of the crowd is evidence that this county is behind the values of the Republican Party and its candidates. RON FRAZIER Chairman, Rapp. Republican Committee Governor's Race Sports New Energy By JOHN GOOLRICK It is said, and rightly so, that the only poll that counts in a political contest is the one taken on election day. Yet conceding the validity of that view, Republican gubernatorial nominee George Allen may stand to benefit enormously from a recent series of polls that have shown him pulling just about dead even with his Democratic rival, Mary Sue Terry. When polls showed Ms. Terry 23 points or so ahead of Allen following nominating conventions, it appeared the race might be over even before it began. Indeed, a basic part of Ms. Terry’s strategy was to move, so far ahead in polling points and money by Labor Day that all but the most diehard Allen supporters would concede her the election. If that strategy had succeeded it would have meant cutting off Allen from sources of the kind of big money it takes to wage a successful campaign for governor. But despite Ms. Terry’s efforts, including shelling out nearly a million dollars for expensive TV ads during the dog days of summer, a funny thing happened on her way to the Governor’s Mansion. Instead of finding herself on Governor Street, she headed in the direction of Short Pump. Now Allen, whose quest seemed Don Quixotic to many just a few months go, is set to capitalize on Ms. Terry’s faltering campaign that, seems to have been caused in equal measure by the unpopularity of President Clinton with state voters, the highly publicized intra-party Virginia Through Both Barrels feud between Gov. Wilder and Sen. Robb, and Ms. Terry’s inability to convince a majority of prospective voters that her experience as attorney general for seven years gives her superior qualifications to be governor. The fact that Allen is now widely perceived as running a well-honed, energized campaign with voter appeal, and has a solid chance of victory has pumped life into his candidacy. Big-time fund raisers, such as lawyer-developer Til Hazel of Fairfax, who were sitting thinp out during the summer have suddenly realized Allen could be elected without their help, leaving them out in the cold in a new administration. Now they are putting together the kind of high dollar events on his behalf that always gladden the hearts of political campaign treasurers. The infusion of sizeable, new amounts of money, while it may not match Ms. Terry in volume, is essential to enable Allen to keep a steady presence on television across the state in October while continuing the kind of relent less populist campaigning that has played a major role in enabling him to close the gap. Then, too, the prospect of a down-to-thewire race gives new hope and energy to thousands of Allen supporters who were demoralized earlier by constant media reports that seemed to provide a coronation for Ms. Terry four and five months before voters went to the polls. The message is that despite forecasts in many quarters that this year’s statewide races would take a back seat to the 1994 election for U.S. Senate, there will be a race after all — and very likely an exciting one. The Washington Post, always the last to get the word about such things, is still implying that Ms. Terry’s victory is inevitable, but as I have contended from the beginning it’s going to be close. In fact, the outcome could well be decided by a group of people who got together recently and chartered a Virginia chapter of the United We Stand America movement, the Ross Perot folks. In doing so organizers indicated, though they do not call themselves a political party, they intend to do whatever may be needed to influence the outcome of the state’s gubernatorial election. And since Perot got a lot of votes in Virginia last fall, politicians seeking office who don’t try to court the Perotista element do so at their own peril.

School Choice in Virginia By ROBIN L. HEGNER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Much has been written on school choice, both public and private, as the answer to the ills of public education. While some aspects of school choice may be promising as one element in a much broader school reform effort; school choice is not a panacea for correcting the problems in public education. Generally, Virginians feel positive about their current school arrangements. In a recent survey of Virginia households, eighty-four percent of the parents responding reported that they were “satisfied’ or “somewhat satisfied” Vrith the public or private schools their children attend. The parents were presented with three types of public school choice plans—choice within a district (intradistrict), choice among districts (interdistrict), and statewide open enrollment. Forty-eight percent preferred inter•district choice, twenty-eight percent preferred -intradistrict choice, and nine percent preferred statewide open enrollment. Sixteen percent indicated they either did not support school choice, preferred another choice plan, or did not know. When parents were asked what they might do if their preferred choice plan was adopted, fifty-three percent reported they would choose the same public school, fourteen percent reported they would choose a different public school in their current district, eleven percent reported they would choose a public school in a different district, and ten percent reported they would not choose public schools. Advocates of school choice assert that choice will encourage school improvement and raise student achievement. However, there is little empirical research on school choice programs. The majority of research studies on school choice do not assess the impact on student achievement or on school improvement. The most notable exception is the numerous studies that indicate magnet schools are effective. In states that have implemented interdistrict choise programs, few have elected to participate in choice programs. Only two percent of the students participate in the interdistrict choice program in Minnesota, the longest existing interdistrict program. Research studies have drawn inconclusive evidence to show that participation in interdistrict choice programs produces measurable academic gains. , Evidence about the effectiveness of private school choice, limited as it is, suggests that such a policy does not improve students achievement or stimulate school renewal. While choice advocates would lead you to believe that there are numerous private school choice programs operating throughout the I Opinion country, there is only one private school choice program in operation. That program, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, allows low-income families to send their children to private schools in the city. Participating private schools may not offer religious instriction. No more than one percent (approximately 1,000) students may participate during a given year. Preliminary studies show little or no improvement on standardized tests on reading and math. The rate of attrition from the first to the second year of the program is disturbing. Of 562 students who enrolled in the program in 1991-92, only 311 returned for the second year, an attrition rate of more than forty percent. Reasons for this are not clearly established. Choice programs in other states cannot be transferred directly to Virginia. What works in one jurisdiction may not be satisfactory in another because the nature of choice programs is highly dependent on certain factors. One such factor is geography. In Virginia, school choice options are limited for students who do not live in close proximity to other schools. Families living in densely populated areas may have several public and private options within easy reach. For families living in rural, mountainous areas, private schools are nonexistent and distance alone may rule out public school choices. Central to the advocates’ position is the idea that school choice will promote parental involvement and give parents a greater sense of commitment to their child’s education. In order for parents to be involved, they must be informed. Studies show that economically and educationally disadvantaged parents are often unable to participate in choice programs in an informed way. Another limiting factor is transportation. If children are not provided transportation to their preferred school, many of them, for economic or logistical reasons, will not be able to exercise choice. Like other education reform efforts, school choice does not come free of charge. To be successful, additional administrative and financial support is required. In every state, including Virginia, local school resources differ from one division to another. While resources alone do. not ensure excellence in education, the need for resources cannot be dismissed. The “supply and demand” theory used by choice proponents ignores critical issues. Good schools create choice, not vice versa. The difference in resources potentially creates an uneven playing field between school districts. Experiences with the Massachusetts and Minnesota programs show that students who choose to attend another school or school division tend to select a more affluent school division or school with better equipped labs, more resources, more extracurricular programs. Few students choose less affluent or less wellequipped schools. Also, small school divisions have a high percentage of their total budget dedicated to fixed costs. Therefore, the loss of funds resulting from a students choosing to leave a division would have a greater fiscal impact on a small division than on a more affluent one. Additionally, school choice programs should not be arbitrarily imposed. Choice programs that have been developed slowly, locally, and voluntarily are the ones that have been most successful. Regardless of the option chosen, school choice alone does not appear to be the solution to the problems facing public education today. Having a few attractive, innovative schools or magnet schools that serve a small number of students successfully, but neglect the majority of students, is not equitable. J Wrong Issue for Skyline Drive Flap By WILLIAM R. LOWE I have a deep, personal attachment to the people and places of my native state of Virginia, most especially that portion of the Commonwealth contained within the borders of Rappahannock, Fauquier, and Loudoun counties. But as an active duty Army officer assigned to Fort Bragg, N.C., I feel pretty far from Virginia in this, the land of pine trees, chiggers and beach sand for top soil. My surprise was complete then to find in the local newspaper, an article detailing a months-long controversy between Frank Wolf, congressman from Virginia’s 10th District and the headquarters staff of the Shenandoah National Park. The opening volleys in this feud began nearly a year ago. Facing anticipated budget cuts, Bill Wade, Park superintendent, recommended closing 70 miles of the Skyline Drive from December 1992 through this past June. This, explained park spokesperson Sandy Reves, would provide significant cost savings while allowing park personnel time to focus on major projects ranging from big-game poaching to environmental restoration.

Boscawen St. Downtown Winchester 703-662-3836 Almost immediately local business owners, many from Front Royal and surrounding Warren County, denounced the plan as a grave threat to the regional economy. Elected leaders ranging from Warren County Board of Supervisors Chairman Staige Miller to Congressman George Allen and Frank Wolf quickly sided with the business community. And in the end, their side won. But the budget shortfall remained, resulting in two campgrounds being kept closed for the year, two more campgrounds and two visitor centers opened late, fewer educational courses programmed and trail maintenance deferred. A brochure given to visitors at park entrance stations explained these cuts in basic services as budgetary driven. The brochure went on further to explain that the alter native plan to close portions of the Skyline Drive was dropped because, “special interests and the local public and elected officials prevailed.” In May of this year, the brochure wording for not closing portions of the Skyline Drive was changed to the blander (but more politically acceptable) “local communities would have been affected.” Recently Frank Wolf joined with two other Virginia congressmen in writing to Roger Kennedy, newly appointed head of the National Park Service, demanding that the original brochures be destroyed, saying they "unfairly characterize” the efforts of those who succeeded in keeping the Skyline Drive open. In a follow-on interview, Congressman Wolf said of the original brochure, “It’s totally out of character, unorthodox, inaccurate.

For anyone, government employee or private citizen, to voluntarily step into harm’s way, in a cause he or she sees as just, is an action to be encouraged, not condemned. To me, the remarks of Congressman Wolf smack too much of political grandstanding, or worse. The sug gestion that government employees never say anything in public which could be taken in a negative context by a congressman’s constituents is chilling to this citizen, who in selecting a military career has sworn to protect the right of all Americans to say what is on their minds.

Cross Country Continues Strong By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The high school boys cross coun-try team continued to dominate rivals winning meets against Stonewall Jackson and Luray in the past week. Rappahannock defeated Stonewall Jackson 26 to 31 last Wednesday with Jason Waters running first, ^like Grimsley running second, Mark Jenkins running third, Mike HVolfe running eighth, and Nathan . "Flinchum running 12th. Manassas J*ark also participated in the meet. but was not able to compete for team honors because it lacked enough runners. The same is true for Rappahannock’s girl, runners. Holley Gangel ran second and Camilla Josephson ran eighth, but they were the only two girls running for Rappahannock. Coach David van de Graaff said the boys were “feeling cocky” after their victory, and Stonewall Jackson was surprised when Rappahannock won with only five runners. If three more girls were running cross country, Rappahannock would have a chance of a girls’ team winning cross country meets also. Monday on the home course at the Bleu Rock Inn, Rappahannock boys defeated the Luray boys 20 to 35. This time Jason and Mike Grimsley tied for first, Mark ran third, Mike Wolfe ran fifth, and Nathan ran ninth. Holley ran first for the girls, beating several boys, and Camilla ran second. Meanwhile the girls’ basketball teams continued to struggle. Both the varsity and JV teams were thrashed by Stonewall Jackson. RICK HUNT SAYS: ctS ARE Lq.

Huntsman Oliver G. Brown will speak to those assembled and will respond to questions regarding the Members hope that this type of program will help to de-mystify this long standing tradition and put to rest the mythology surrounding it. Mr. Brown, who has a long assocation with this sport, will discuss the history of the Rappahannock Hunt and will explain such terms as The Meet, Moving Off, the manners Of the hunt, and language related to it, the training and use of dogs, and more. Many of us who have enjoyed the Hunt Races at Sperryville have understood little about the preparation for participation. It is interesting to note that fox hunting with hounds is alleged by Alex Mackay-Smith in American Fox-Hound: 1747-1967, to have begun “...in the upper Rappahannock Valley (which includes today’s Rappahannock Hunt territory) and is the cradle of the American Fox Hound.” There is much to be learned iatham Wins Water Award The Culpeper Soil and Water , Conservation District presented Mary Latham of Homer Hill Farm in Rappahannock County with the 1993 Clean Water Farm Award for Rappahannock County. Mary and her son, Cliff, own and operate a 262 acre farm just south of Flint Hill. On their farm, they raise 21 acres of corn, 9 acres of wheat, 4 acres and oats and manage 198 acres of cropland. * The Lathams have been long supporters of the conservation movement. Cliff has been an active Soil and Water Conservation District Director and Mary has been a participant with the ACP and Bay Cost Share programs for many years. Both have devoted many hours to the conservation cause. The primary conservation practices used on their farm are: Crop residue and cover crops designed to provide a cover for the soil during the winter to reduce erosion; Stripcropping has been installed to slow runoff and provide better infiltration of rain into the soil; livestock watering facilities have been in'Stalled to keep livestock out of the •streams, grassed waterways, and conservation tillage or no-till. ira Rifaat is coordinating this event. Tickets are $5 each. Saturday night John McCutcheon will give a concert at Ki Theatre. Playing a variety of traditional Appalachian instruments, McKutcheon always provides great entertainment. Tickets for this event will be sold in advance for $10 ($8 for Ki Theatre, RFA and VABF members) and $12 at the door. The weekend concludes Sunday with a potluck brunch and panel discussion beginning at 11 a.m. at Freddi and Clara Kumli’s Windsor Lodge near Flint Hill. Anne Furtick is coordinating this event. Naturalist and historian Darwin Lambert will discuss how the interrelationship of farming, arts, and crafts to the land keeps the culture of communities alive. Donna Porterfield, a member of Appalshop, Inc., a rural arts and education center for the people of Appalachia, will tell about Appalshop and the role artists can play in a community’s diverse local life, Jim Thomasson, a county resident and Georgetown University professor, will share stories of local farm laborers. John Bums, president of VABF, will serve as moderator. All in attendance can share in the discussion, and admission is free with a contribution to the potluck, but reservations are required for this event. Call Ki Theatre at 675-1616 to register. Ki Theatre director Julie Portman notes that the weekend events are funded in part by a grant from the Virginia Commission for the Humanities. She said that coordinators have been working to produce the fall festival for a year and that she hopes this will be the first of many such events. “What we’ve tried to do is work together to shape a celebration and commemoration of what we hold in common, which is our respect for the land here which sustains and inspires, all of us,” Ms. Portman said. “Our goal is to create a weekend of events for the whole family, and we hope Crossroads will become an annual fall festival that increasingly brings diverse members of the community together.” Ms. Portman urges everyone to order advance tickets for events that will save up to 30 percent on the cost. about this aspect of our community’s culture and tradition which involves a large segment of the population. Like all such functions at the Library, this one is open to the public and is free. After the program, which begins promptly at 8 p.m., refreshments will be served.

Help Adults Learn By LEE BIRD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer LVA Rappahannock, the local affiliate of Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc., will convene its third annual membership meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 23 at the Rappahannock County Library. Members, volunteers, learners and friends are welcome. The business of LVA Rappahannock is helping adult residents of the county to learn. Volunteers of the organization work with some learners at the most basic level, teaching reading and writing. Other learners are at various stages of preparation for their GED test, success in which entitles them to a high school equivI alency certificate. Some students | who have earned their certificates * have obtained better jobs; others * have sought further education at I Lord Fairfax Community College to I enhance their job skills. From a modest beginning in 1990, when LVA Rappahannock had 10 tutors and 13 learners, the organization has grown this year to a to| tal of 22 tutors and 31 learners. The f group’s volunteers have logged I 1,467 hours of preparation and in| struction during the past year. Since the group was organized, 10 learners have successfully completed their GED requirements. 'i In addition to the group’s regular course of instruction in the community, it has continued to maintain ah active program of tutoring inmates at the jail. A computer and instrcutional software have been acquired to promote independent learning skills. And last spring, the “Reading With Children” program was launched to assist parents of preschoolers to develop their children^ school readiness through language stimulation. * The agenda for the meeting will include: a brief summary of the group’s accomplishments during the year that ended on June, 30, 1993; election of four directors for tlfe three-year term; presentation of tljp operating budget for 1993-94; and an address by Pat Brummett, the Regional Adult Education Specialist f<fr Planning District 9.

From Page 1 Fletcher who urged people to write requesting that Potomac Edison Serve REC’s Rappahannock customers. He said REC rates are 23 percent higher than Potomac Edison’s. Mr. Fletcher said that REC needs another source of 34.5 kv power at the Rixeyville substation, but is trying to get a 138 kv line because of future growth in Culpeper County. He urged involved property owners not to give REC representatives permission to come on their property. “Be polite, but don’t be cooperative,” he urged. He said REC was asking for the right-of-way for a 138 kv line, even though the Rixeyville Substation can’t handle that much Voltage. They would put in a 34.5kv tine now and upgrade later, he said. Me said allowing a 138 kv line to go from Sperryville to Rixeyville will move up the date when another 138 kv tine will have to come into Sperryville. « He said REC would be interested in getting 138 kv power to the Hazel switching station to serve a proposed 1,000-home subdivision at the Freedom Studies Center. “We can cause them more problems than we’re worth by being politely insistant on being sold,” he said. Next Phil Irwin spoke, saying that the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection had been formed 23 years ago to fight a proposed 138kv Potomac Edison line from Front Royal to Rick Mills, to Boston, and on to Sperryville. RLEP was able to successfully challenge the tine, but then lost a fight with Virginia Power (formerly VEPCO) over a 500 kv line through Amissville. When the current 138 kv line was put in from Luray to Sperryville, RLEP persuaded Potomac Edison to use single wooden poles instead of steel towers, he said. , He urged people to support the idea that fiiture power line upgrades should use existing rights-of-way, and said that RLEP had urged the county government to amend the zoning ordinance to restrict building close to power lines to keep power companies for looking for new corridors. He said the opponents of the power line would need a “systems diagram” for REC but probably would not be able to get one without court action. He said RLEP would use donated funds to fight the proposed power line. Mr. Irwin said there is a relatively new Virginia Power substation in Remington which could provide REC with the additional power. REC has said most of the problems with power outages for Rappahannock and Culpeper customers served from the Rixeyville substation are the result of the “unreliable” line Virginia Power uses to supply the station from Culpeper. “If Virginia Power has problem providing them with reliable power, what’s the matter with the SCC?” Mr. Irwin said. “The SCC should make them supply reliable power.” Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he was not speaking for the supervisors, but he added Rappahannock could make REC solve their problems “outside Rappahannock if we don’t get into a ‘not in my backyard’ syndrome.” He urged the citizens to oppose all lines through Rappahannock, not just those that passed through their property. He said Virginia Power has been REC’s prime supplier, but if they get a 138 kv line from Sperryville, Potomac Edison will become their prime supplier. “Culpeper County has the potential to go through the roof in population,” he said. Harold Parker, who lives in Sperryville and works for Virginia Pow'er in the Warrenton area, said that Virginia Power has spent $100,000 upgrading the line from Culpeper to the Rixeyville substation. He said that this work will be completed in a few weeks. He said once those improvements are made, REC won’t have a valid case that they need the new line because of a reliability problem with their line into the substation. He said it is more likely that REC wants the increased power to deal with growth in Culpeper County. Robert Dennis, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, said that this proposed power line is just one of the things that could happen to the county because of growth in surrounding counties. “From cities around Boston to raceways at Brandy Station, this is just a sympton of the broader problem,” he saicj. He suggested that by donating scer nic easements to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation landowners could escape having land taken for utility lines. Organizers of the meeting said they would probably call another meeting later, but urged those in attendance to write letters now opposing the power line. Mrs. Terry asked that people who attended the meeting look through their papers and call her at 937-5936 or Natalie Emery at 9878721 if they find the list of names of those opposed to the power line. ►Apple From Page A-l especially Rappahannock’s famous apples and apple cider.

He said the school system received a notice of violation of the pH, disolved oxygen, and chlorine requirements at the high school last spring. He said they would take care of the pH problem by spreading lime on the sand filters. To meet requirements for disolved oxygen they may need to install a pump to aerate the water, Mr. Chappell said. The cost of that could run as high as $8,000 he said. H§ said operator Donna Chabot has installed a new weir at the'chlorine contact tank, and they hope that will solve the problem with excess chlorine.

Karate: The Non-violent Art ByBRUCESLOANE Rappahannock News SUIT Writer “Karate ni sente nashni.” (“There is no first attack in Karate.”) This phrase is the essence of Okinawan Karate, whether the art is practiced in Kamakura City or during lessons at the Ki Theatre, said instructor Betsy Toth, who has been teaching Karate to Rappahannock students for more than 4 years. Toth currently teaches two Karate classes Wednesday evenings at the Ki Theatre, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and a combined group for women and seniors (55 and over) from 5:45 to 7 p.m. Both groups still have openings. Karate is a martial art, explained Toth, but it was orginally developed by Okinawans as a method of selfpreservation. The Okinawans developed their own unique art of self-defense, “te,” which literally means “hands.” Although almost any part of the body can become a vital weapon, the characteristics of the Okinawan Karate appears in the use of fists, toes, elbows and “knife hands,” she said. Her teaching follows the traditional “Matsubayashi” (pine forest) system of Karate which stresses working with an opponent, as opposed to competing against an opponent. “What is important is the development of better human beings, not just fighters,” said Toth. The particular style of Matsubayashi that Toth teaches is Shorinyu, which is well suited to both children and adults. Shorinyu is particularly beneficial to a child’s development because it is non-violent. “We bow before and after each kata (movement),” said Toth. The children learn to respect the power of the kata and each other. “They also learn that Karate is a martial art, not a sport,” she added. What is important is the desire to learn and the development of inner worth and confidence. Practicing the katas helps develop timing, balance and focus. It sharpens instincts and strengthens willpower. “The study of Karate develops a sense of inner confidence and peace,” Toth said. Toth became interested in Karate when she took a course from Sensei (head instructor) Arthur Drago, a 5th dan (degree) black belt. Since that first lesson, Toth has advanced to a 2nd dan black belt. Drago runs the Budo Kai Karate Dojo in Front Royal. A dojo is a Karate studio. He also teaches classes at the Chestnut Forks Tennis Club in Warrenton. Toth holds classes weekends in her own dojo in Washington, D.C. and Wheaton, Md. She moved her Rappahannock classes from the Child Care and Learning Center to the Ki Theatre because of scheduling problems. Several of her current students have advanced to junior black belts, including Chris Sauce, Ed Sauce, and Nick Rustic. Toth is enthusiastic when she talks about her classes, and newdevelopments. “I’ve always wanted to run a woman’s class and a senior’s class,” she said. She explained that she didn’t have enough interested people to run separate classes for the two groups, but was glad to combine the two into one class. “There are still openings, and if we get enough people we may split into two classes,” she said. Toth can be contacted by at home at (703) 349-0632 or at Arthur Drago’s dojo in Front Royal at 635-7554. Messages can also be left for her at the Ki Theatre at 675-1616. 2 Sisters, 2 Media At Middle Street The inspiration gleaned from living in Rappahannock County will surface in this two-sister exhibition of Jeanne Drevas’ and Nina Moore’s clay and handmade paper works opening at Middle Street Gallery from 3 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2. Drevas will show work in lowsalt fired porcelain, a technique she developed during her three-year stay in Switzerland. Moore will feature new work from her experimentation with handmade paper. Both sisters are drawn to the natural world of Rappahannock County and compelled by the land on which they live to create. Drevas uses indigenous materials with her clay vessels, marrying pots and the vines that grow up every tree in the county. Her newest work incorporates the secrets of primitive wood firing on highly burnished porcelain pots with salt and copper-sulfate thrown in. Burning slowly all night in a simple brick enclosure with sawdust, her pots are etched w ith the alchemy of the cosmos. Her newest work is developing from a fascination with the intricate WTappings of Egyptian mummies. The results are more indicative of metamorphisis than of preserving the dead. Drevas had three shows while in Switzerland, where she accompanied her husband, Carl Alpin, on a State Department mission from 1989-1992. Moore makes images by distilling her vegetable garden, the Virginia Jungle at the edge of her cleared space, Old Rag seem through Joe Pye Weed into the unpredictability of creating paper from wet pulp. Moore uses abaca, beaten mulberry and cotton fibers as pulp. Each color is in a separate vat, being picked up on a screen and varied by water motion and order of layers of translucent color. Areas are masked out to form images, The uTaves, eddies around shapes and drops of water add to the delicacy and surprise of Moore’s paper. From her experience of making paper for ten years, she strives to “keep a balance between what inspires me to think of a piece and what handmade paper wants to do.” “Gleanings From Rappahannock” runs through Oct. 24.

Circus Is A Way of Life For Traveling Family By BRUCE SLOANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer They started in March in Jacksonville, Fla., and will end in October in nearby Arcadia, Fla. In the meantime they will perform in 19 states and travel more than 16,000 miles. Last night they performed in Sperryville. “You don’t do it for the money,” said Christine Schreiber, who travels with the Roberts Brothers Circus with her husband, Bill, and their 11-year old son, Daniel. The whole family is involved with the show and wears multiple hats. Chris and Daniel do a mother-son juggling act. Bill is the ring master and helps train the animals. And all three of them run a star-billed pony and dog act. “It gets in your blood,” said Chris, in way of explanation. Chris got into the circus game after she graduated from high school and answered an ad for a temporary ticket seller at a traveling carnival. When the carnival moved on, Chris moved with it, and the temporary job turned permanent. She stayed with the carnival, and traveled on to the next town and the next town and the .... well, you get the idea. She joined the circus a year later. The Roberts Brothers Circus travels with more than 20 vehicles, many of them specialized for the 35 employees and 20 trained animals. Lisa, a 7,500-pound Indian elephant moves from show to show in her own elephant trailer. Their tour this year takes them as far west as Ohio and as far north as Greenville, Me., on the shores of Moosehead Lake. The Schreibers, like many of the performers, live in a mobile home of their own when on the road. In winter they live in Gibsonton, Fla, where they put on a trained rabbit act and dog and pony revue for tourists. Chris thinks that traveling with a circus is a great life for a family. “We teach Daniel ourselves,” she said. "He attends regular school in winter, and is doing well.” She added that if they felt Daniel was not keeping up in school, “we would have to find another solution.” The Roberts Brothers Circus is sponsored by local organizations who provide space, advance ticket sales, and publicity, and get to share in the profits. It’s sponsored here by the Sperryville Fire Department. Chris yawned, and excused herself. “Afternoons are nap time for circus folk,” she said. “We got up in Gaithersburg (Md.) at 4 a.m. this morning - an hour earlier than usual to avoid the Washington traffic.” And tomorrow? Tomorrow they play in Shenandoah. At 5 a.m. tomorrow ^morning, before the shine rises, tjle big trucks, vehicles and trailers full of animals, equipment and people will head west on U.S. 211 grinding up the long curvy hill to Thornton Gap, past Luray and on and on to the next stop.

U*t Wednesday, September 22, 1993 Apple Season Is Coming By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Liz Tole came by the other day with several apple recipes. She’s one of the faithful contributors to my weekly nutrition column. She must have known I was getting ready for apple season. Rappahannock ranks sixth in apple producing counties in Virginia. Six popular varieties make up 90 percent of all apple trees grown in Virginia. There are: red delicious, golden delicious, rome, stayman, winesap, and york. Most of our local orchanrds have other varieties, also. An Apple A Day An apple a day is the way a good nutrition. Here are,good nutritional reasons to include apples in your family’s meals: A medium-sized apple has only 81 calories. Apples are high in dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates and aid digestion. Many people eat an apple following lunch or pack one in their child’s lunch box to use as nature’s toothbrush at the end of a meal when it isn’t convenient to brush one’s teeth.

Garden Club Members Enjoy Flower Arranging Presentation By HELEN PLATT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club enjoyed an interesting and instructive program at their regular monthly meeting on Sept. 16. A talk and demonstration on the “Basics of Flower Arranging” were presented by Rosa Crocker, a landscape architect who resides in the Huntly area of Rappahannock County. Ms. Crocker created a colorful arrangement as she lectured to the group, emphasizing her philosophy of using plant materials which are readily available. She encouraged using plants which are native to the area when planning home gardens. Ms. Crocker was assisted in the preparation of plant material by Susan McCarthy and three year old Molly, who was prefectly at ease before the large group of garden club ladies. President Helen Brown conducted the business portion of the meeting. A request of gifts of bulbs to be used in Virginia’s Highway Beautification Program was relayed to the group which responds annually to this reminder of what to do with extra bulbs as garden plantings are thinned. A new program of buying in bulk certain materials used for floral ar-» rangements and making them available to club members was initiated this month and received a very welcome response. The theme for artistic arrangements this month was “Beauty of Simplicity” and the blue ribbon was awarded to Helen Brown, while red and yellow ribbons went to Dottie Hooff and Dot Estes. Baldwin Reunion By WAYNE F. BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing: Writer Saturday, Sept. 18 was a drizzly, foggy kind of day starting out. Our family reunion was to be held today at Lake Arrowhead in Page County. I wasn’t too sure I was going anyway, but I called my Mom and Dad to see if they wanted to. I felt if they did, then I’d take them. We had no intentions of staying very long though. We left my folk’s house at about 9:30 a.m. and took a leisurely drive up the F.T. Valley, they on over the mountain toward Luray. Arriving there just shy of 10 a.m. we sat in the vehicle awhile watching as the drizzle became more of a show'er. The cool breeze and fog seemed to hold the doors closed on us. ‘ Momentarily we vacated the car and strolled around, then began hiking down one of the graveled paths toward the lake. How often can a person of 40 years claim that he walked down some path with his parents? Taking our time, checking out the flora and hoping to spot some ginseng, we walked some distance from the shelter of both the vehicle and pavilion. Some drops of water from the overhanging trees teased us, making us think it was another show'er. We turned then and headed back, taking a slightly differnt path. Helping Mom cross one of the foot bridges, we arrived unscathed back to our starting point. Mom had a list of things with her she had dictated from my sister which consisted of items my nephew7 was in need of for his school. It was now 11 a.m. and the “reunion” hadn’t started. We had checked out the bulletin board and the notice stuck there read “all day." We were puzzled. Having driven from the lower end of Rappahannock County and from Madison County and “all day” was now half day gone and the reunion (not counting us three) was of ghost! We discussed and hemmed and hawed and then came to the conclusion we’d go into Luray and get the items needed on that list. After shopping we were hungry and sa\y a McDonald’s across the parking lot. Out take out orders were Big Macs, fish sandwiches, fries and drinks (Dad had a vanilla shake). Driving is not a good thing to do while eating, and the folks didn’t want to go inside, so we decided to find a place to stop and eat along side the road. This place turned out to be the parking area at Panorama. We devoured out food here, taking in the foggy view, leaving for Rappahannock and Madison counties once more. I had taken with me my two sister’s belated birthday gifts (Foley Food Mills to be exact) and on our course we “went by” their respective homes for a “few minutes” to make each delivery. Then once again we were on the road back to Slate Mills, that lower end of Rappah'annock I was speaking of. I w as asked to come in, but took a “rain check” as I wanted to go visit another Baldwin cousin for awhile who was having her 89th birthday. On my way cousin Eliza Woodward’s I smiled to myself, not, actually I grinned for a long time. I had just spent quality time with my parents. How warm I felt inside. We went all that way just to be with each other, just me, my mama and my dad. Our own reunion Charlie and Florine and Wayne Baldwin.

SCOTT CUNNINGHAM Rappahannock New* Cont >>n«>n7ritcr Crossroads 199? Festival-Soil and Soul: Sustaining (Jut Community - Oct. 8-10. In case of haven’t heard, Ki Theatre, The Rappahannock Farmers Association and The Virginia Association For Biological Farming are inviting county farmers to participate in a Fanner’s Market to be held in the Town of Washington on Saturday, Oct. 9, rain or shine. Rappahannock growers are encouraged to bring pumpkins, Fall ornamentals, gift baskets, late season vegetable, dried flowers and apples or whatever other agricultural products they may have on hand. Crafts, drinks and lunch foods are also appropriate items that can be offered for sale. I hope area fruit and vegetable grower’s will jump at this chance to benefit from the outstanding efforts put forth by the Crossroads Committee to promote this festival. The timing of the festival could not be better as tourism will peak in the county at or near this Columbus Day weekend as leaf watchers invade the area. In addition to the Farmers Market, the Crossroads Festival will hold an old fashioned square dance and pie auction, a hometown barbecue, a potluck brunch and a music concert with John McCutcheon. There will also be farm tours and farm workshops. Farmers need to remember that the Farmer’s Market is for the day of Saturday, Oct. 9 only and a registration fee of $15 is required. Market participants are responsible for bringing their own tables, chairs and items of sale. Crossroad volunteers will provide reserved spaces, publicity and hand-made signs to the vendors. Deadline for market registration is Friday, Oct. 1. Interested folks should contact Mr. Lyt Wood at 675-1088. For additional information contact the Rappahannock Extension Office at 675-3619.

Convenience Fertilizers For Home Landscapes By DIANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist Many homeowners recognize the value of fertilizing trees and shrubs in their landscapes, yet they become confused when confronted with the variety of fertilizers available. Also confusing can be directions that give application rates in pounds of nutrient per acre when only one tree is to be fertilized. Compressed fertilizer spikes, tablets and briquettes have been attractive to these gardens because they simplify the process. A premeasured amount of fertilizer is formed into a larger dispensing unit that can be applied according to homeowner’s directions on a “so many per plant” or “so many per certain number of square feet” basis. Cost More, But Are Easier To Use What consumers need to be aware of is the trade off in increased price when using convenience fertilizers. While convenience fertilizers are easier and less time consuming to apply, the same amount of fertilizer is almost always less expensive if purchased in bulk as a granular material. At a local garden center, one of the best known convenience fertilizers is selling for an average of $4.50 for five spikes or $10 for 12 spikes, a range of 83 cents to 90 cents per spike. Its label says it is 16-8-8, (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium), so based on the 16 percent nitrogen, and the fact that each spike weighs approximately 5.2 ounces, the .8ounces of nitrogen per spike makes the cost of the actual nitrogen approximately $1.04 per ounce or $16.64 per pound. By comparison, in a common granular 10-10-10 fertilizer which would have 10 percent nitrogen or five pounds of nitrogen in a 50-pound bag. based on an average price of $9 for a 50-pound bag, an ounce of acutal nitrogen costs approximately 11 cents per ounce or $1.80 per pound. Based on these prices a consumer pays a price 10 times higher for the same amount of nitrogen fertilizer when buring the spike’s convenience. Understand the Root System To Use Fertilizer qp Recent studies show that plant roots typically extend far beyond the drip line. Since most of these roots are fine feeder roots that absorb water and nitrients for the plant, fertilization should not be confined within the drip-line. The “2 inches below soil level” recommended for spikes would place them right in the major area of root concentration. Broadcasting fertilizer on the soil surface under trees and shrubs has been shown to be as effective as deeper placement. Though grass roots do get a large portion of the fertilizer, there generally is an adequate amount left for trees. If a homeowner routinely tests the soil and applies the amount of fertilizer needed for good grass growth, additional fertilizer for. trees and shrubs growing in the lawn is probably unnecessary and would be considered luxury feeding where the plants may absorb and store extra fertilizer, but produce no appreciably extra growth because of it. It should be noted that if a soil test shows that additional phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are not needed, money is wasted if a* spike or any other type of fertilizer with a complete analysis is used. Spike products do offer some addtional advantanges that may compensate for cost to some gardeners. They are a form of controlled or slow release fertilizer. Small amounts of fertilizer are available to the plant at any one time so that no burning occurs, In addition, slow meeting means that fertilizer is not leached away or wasted. Enough fertilizer is contained in each spike that using the number recommended gives slow, even feeding for a full year. Spikes Can Contain Other Features A new type of spike has recently been introduced that contains a systemic insecticide in addition to the slow release fertilizer. The spikes can feed and protect plants against insects such as bagworms and aphids if used in the number and with the frequency recommended on the package. There are convenience and reduced waste benefits, but again, both the fertilizer and the insectidide costs more than if applied conventionally. For people who would otherwise not fertilize or spray their trees and shrubs, spikes are an excellent product. For those who would do so, weight costs against convenience and purchase accordingly.

The Lottery Works for Virginia Lottery dollars help support education in the Commonwealth. Playing the Virginia Lottery is not just a way to take a chance at winning a prize. It’s also an investment in Virginia. Since the Virginia Lottery began September 20, 1988,. players have purchased more than 35 billion tickets. That money has turned over in Virginia’s economy many times. For each dollar wagered, winners receive between 50-58 cents; retailers earn 5-6 cents as compensation for selling tickets; it takes 8-10 cents to administer the lottery; and the state’s general fund receives 32-35 cents. Money Helping Localities Winners’ prizes and retailers’ compensation are often spent in the localities from where they came. The 5,600 lottery retailers statewide have earned more than $170 million since 1988. Retailers have used their earnings to upgrade their stores, hire new employees, and support local charities in their communities. That money then recirculates in the community. Lottery players have won more than $1.7 billion. Many lottery winners have purchased homes, cars, clothes and other consumer goods, giving local businesses a boost each time they buy. Helping AU Virginians Lottery dollars are making a profound financial impact on the lives of everyone in Virginia. The Virginia Lottery is the largest nontax contributor to the general fund. The state uses money transferred from the Virginia Lottery, along with your tax dollars, to finance programs and services that enrich the lives of everyone who lives in the Commonwealth. The Lottery has transferred more than $1 billion to the general fund. This money stays in Virginia to fund education, health and human resources, natural resources, public safety, transportation, economic development, and general government. During the first year of sales, the General Assembly designated lottery profits to be used for capital construction projects which included building or renovation at The College of William and Mary, Norfolk State University, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University, The Medical Colleges of Virginia, Mary Washington College, The University of Virginia, George Mason University, James Madison University, community colleges across the state, and several mental health educational facilities. In 1990, the General Assembly voted to use lottery funds as part of the general budget of the Commonwealth, which has been done every year since. Five years ago, no one would have guessed the Virginia Lottery would be as successful as it has been. The Virginia Lottery has met the legislative mandate of the State Lottery Law to establish a lottery “which will produce revenue consonant with the probity of the Commonwealth and the general welfare of its people."

Winner with a heart “If you hadn’t read about him in the paper, you’d never know he won the lottery.” That’s what a co-worker said about James Lockhart not long after he and his wife Connie won a $1.4 million Lotto jackpot in December 1992. The Lockharts have chosen to maintain their current lifestyle, even knowing that they have an extra $71,000 each year for the next 19 years, or about $50,000 after taxes. “If you think about it,” says James, “$50,000 is a nice supplement, but not enough to quit your job." As a matter of fact, James sometimes works two jobs, just to stay busy. “I’m not a couch potato,” he says, laughing. “I’m happy where I live, doing what I do,” says James, indicating he and Connie don’t want to move from their three-bedroom brick ranch house between Rustburg and Lynchburg. Nor does James want to quit his job. He is an electronics technician at Ericsson General Electric in Lynchburg, where he has worked for 25 years. Connie is a teacher’s aide for handicapped children at Yellow Branch Elementary School. Community work is as natural as breathing to James. For years before winning the Lotto jackppt, he made special furniture for children with disabilities. James began making school desks because his heart went out to one special girl years ago. “There was a little girl in one of my wife’s classes,” he says. “She couldn’t sit or walk or do anything we take for granted. So I worked with the physical therapist at school and designed a desk just for her. I’ve been making desks for handicapped children ever since.” James charges only for the materials, and makes the desks in his spare time. James also has been involved in his area Little League for 17 years. About three years ago he started working with the World Little League “Challenger League” for handicapped children. “It’s only for children with handicaps,” he says. “Each child has a buddy who helps them run bases, bat and everything. And we cheer for everybody, it doesn’t matter who wins.” With their Lotto winnings, James and Connie have begun fixing up the house they’ve lived in for 17 years. Winning the jackpot has made attending college less complicated for the Lockharts’ daughter Keitha. “She’s an honors student,” says James, “and I would have worked two jobs to send her to college. This makes it a whole lot easier.” “When you win the lottery," says James, “you have to realize what you’re doing, what you want, what makes you happy. You can’t make drastic decisions that you’ll regret later. That’s why Connie and I are staying put in our house, and I’m going to keep working.” “I love doing it for the kids.”

Community Pride: More than just a name Many companies reach out into their communities. Community Pride Food Stores, a five-store Virginia Lottery retailer in Richmond’s inner city, has reached deep. Johnny Johnson; president and chief operating officer, opened Community Pride in March 1992. In just 18 months, Johnson has established his stores as a beacon of community involvement. His involvement begins with young .people. To motivate students attending schools in the city of Richmond, Johnson established the High Achievement Program. After each grading period, Johnson’s chain and other sponsors invest more than $40,000 by rewarding students who make A’s and B’s or who have an excellent attendance record. “Sometimes it’s not enough to say ‘You did a good job’ to these kids,” says Johnson. “They need a reward that’s tangible.” The High Achievement Program gives students special treats—candy, soft drinks, a certificate, even their name on the radio—for their efforts. Parents are involved as well: Families of high achievers receive a 10 percent discount on their groceries the next time they shop at Community Pride. Johnson says 93 percent of the eligible students currently participate in his program. “We make it a family affair because education should be about family,” says Johnson. Johnson has provided jobs for 181 employees at his stores. More than 70 percent live within three miles of the store where they work. Perhaps his most creative hiring practice was putting 30 homeless men and women on the payroll. “They were on my property day and night,” he says, “so finally 1 gave them jobs—cleaning the lots and the stores. It gives them—it might sound corny—it gives them pride in their community too.” Community Pride is sowing the seed of investment on fertile soil. Before Johnson bought the first four locations, they grossed about $13 million in sales. Now, these same four locations—operating as Community Pride—have reached more than $16 million in just one year. With the addition of a fifth location, the chain expects to exceed $20 million in sales in 1993. Lottery sales have been a key to this success. Johnson sells all active instant games as well as Pick 3, Pick 4, Lotto and Cash 5. Others have noticed Johnny Johnson’s community involvement. Governor L. Douglas Wilder presented a certificate honoring his achievements. Richmond television station WTVR-TV6 honored his efforts with the High Achievement Program. The 30-year-old entrepreneur says, “I’m old-fashioned. I see lots of problems with our society. But if I don’t do my part, I’ll be part of the problem. And I want to be part of the solution.” “I want to be part of the solution."

Q: Why do so many jackpot winners come from the more populated areas such as Hampton Roads? A: While it may seem as though many of the winners come from the eastern part of the state, more than half of the winners come from other areas — including Bristol, Winchester and Lynchburg. Players in the Hampton Roads and Richmond areas purchase about half of all Lotto tickets, so it follows that about half of the winners would come from these cities. Q: Where does the money from lottery sales go? A: The biggest part of the proceeds* from Virginia Lottery sales goes back to players. For every dollar spent on lottery tickets in Virginia: 50-58% goes to players as. prizes; 5-6% goes to the lottery retailer; up to 10% goes to administrative expenses; and 32-35% goes to the state’s General Fund. When voters approved the lottery in a referendum in 1987, they did NOT vote on how to use the revenue. The General Assembly votes how to use lottery proceeds. In January 1989, the General Assembly voted to fund construction projects with revenue from the lottery. In 1990 and 1992, the Governor- recommended and the General Assembly voted to use lottery revenue to fund the state’s biennial budget. Carol Johnson of Richmond shared a $20.7 million Lotto Jackpot with two other lucky winners In 1990. This is How Each Dollar Spent on a Virginia Lottery Ticket is Dtvnat. Data from Virginia Lottery Office of Public Information. Prizes to Winners 50-58% Administration 8-10% Retailers 58% Virginia General 32-35% This is How Each Dollar in the $13.1 Billion 1992-94 General Fund is Spent. This data reflects the Appropriation Act as passed by the 1992 General Assembly Education $6.6 billion (50.9%) Health A Human Resources $3.1 billion (24.2%) Natural Resources $138.6 million (1.1%) Economic Development 225.1 million (1.7%) General Government $1 billion (8.2%) Public Safety $1.4 billion (10.8%) Other $325.1 million (2.5%) Transportation $50.6 million (0.4%) Retailer Facts • 5,600 retailers sell lottery tickets across Virginia. 3,000 sell only instant tickets; 2,600 sell instant tickets as well as Pick 3, Pick 4, Lotto, and Cash 5. • On average, each retailer sells 150,000 tickets and earns $7,500 a year for ticket sales. • Top retailers sell as many as two million tickets a year. • Retailers earn a $5,000 bonus for selling a winning Lotto jackpot ticket. Five retailers have sold two winning jackpot tickets. • Retailers have earned $170 million for selling lottery tickets since the lottery began.

Q: Who determines lottery games and their prizes? A: The lottery’s marketing division conducts research and recommends games and prizes. Research includes talking with players in focus groups. The five-member Virginia Lottery Board makes final decisions on games and prize structures. Q: What games are available In Virginia? A: As of September 1993, the Virginia Lottery offers Pick 3, Pick 4, Lotto, Lotto By Mail (subscriptions), Cash 5, and a variety of instant games. Q: Can I play the lottery If I don’t Nve In Virginia? A: Yes. Anyone may purchase tickets at licensed retailers. But because postal regulations prohibit mailing lottery tickets across state lines, out-of-state residents cannot play Lotto By Mail unless they have a mailing address in Virginia. Q: What happens to a Lotto Jackpot winner’s remaining prize If the winner dies before collecting all 20 annual payments? A: The Virginia Lottery will pay any remaining payments to the winner’s beneficiaries, using the same annual schedule. The lottery does NOT keep the money; the state does NOT take it. The Internal Revenue Service, however, has ruled that estate taxes on the entire amount remaining are due immediately, not just on an annual basis. (If you inherit 10 annual payments of $100,000 each, the IRS has ruled that you must pay an estate tax on the current value of that $1 million immediately.) Income tax is also due as payments are received. The lottery recommends that all jackpot winners consult a tax expert for advice. Q: How does the lottery know Iff there le a Lotto jackpot winner? A: After each Lotto drawing, lottery officials conduct a computer search of all six-number combinations played for that drawing, looking for any ticket matching all six numbers drawn. If someone has matched all six numbers, the lottery can determine where and when the ticket was purchased. Winners who buy tickets at lottery retailers must bring their winning ticket to lottery headquarters to be identified and to receive their jackpot prize. The lottery will notify winners who played Lotto By Mail. Q: Who operates the Virginia Lottery? A: The Commonwealth of Virginia operates the lottery, which employs about 300 people. The governor appoints the lottery director and all members of the Lottery Board, who make final decisions on games, prizes and other matters. Retailers are licensed by the lottery, but are not employees of the lottery. Q: Can I claim my prize by mall? A: Yes. All prizes, except the Lotto jackpots and the Cash 5 $100,000 prize, may be claimed by mail. To claim a prize, fill out the back of the ticket, sign your ticket, and send the ticket to: Virginia Lottery Claims, P.O. Box 85605, Richmond, Virginia 23285-5605. If you mail a claim for a free play for any instant game or Lotto, you will receive a check for $1.00 instead of a ticket. The Lottery suggests using certified or registered mail. Q: How long can winners wait to claim their prizes? A: For instant games, players have 180 days from the date of the last day of sales for that game to claim prizes. If you win a Lotto free play by matching 3 of 6 numbers, you have 60 days from the date of the drawing to collect your prize. For all other prizes, winners have 180 days horn the date of the drawing to collect prizes. Prizes that are unclaimed go to the state’s Literary Fund. The Literary Fund is used to make low-interest loans for school construction and for teacher retirements. Q: Why to the jackpot paid In 20 annual payments? A: The amount of money in the jackpot “prize pool” (money that funds the jackpot) depends on total Lotto sales. If the lottery sells enough Lotto tickets to have $5 million in the jackpot prize pool, the actual jackpot, paid out over 20 years, will amount to about $10 million. Lottery officials invest the jackpot prize pool amount in 20-year government bonds, the principal and interest of which fund the annual payments to the jackp>ot winner. The total of the 20 payments equals the advertised jackpot. This is usually almost twice what a player would win if the lottery paid the jackp>ot in one lump sum. m ji ,i. ■ m■ ■» m wWgftHm Lomvy uoara Mwbm(MII>ilgH): Stuart G.
