School Budget Increase Likely ti " ; a , By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock N«w» Staff Writer The School Board got a first look at a draft of the 1994-95 budget calling for more than $210,000 in additional county funds Tuesday night. This would mean about four cents additional on the real estate tax rate. School Superintendent David Gangel stressed that the document !i is preliminary, and the budget may well be cut before he officially presents it to the School Board March 1. The draft budget shows a 7.7 percent increase in spending for a total of $5.8 million. State spending shows an increase of $173,000, but federal funds show a $10,500 reduction. “Other” funds show a $42,900 increase, due mainly to an increase in revenue from the sales tax. Actually the federal portion of the budget will be cut more sharply than the draft budget indicates. Each year for the past three years additional funds have been appropriated for the school budget in late summer or early fall. These have included up to $168,000 from a federal grant for serving “at risk” students. The school system will not receive federal funds for this program next year. , Dr. Gangel said that two fulltime employees and four part-time employees will be cut because these funds will not be forthcoming. He ! said that several other small grant programs may enable the school sys- , tern to keep a third full-time employee, who has been employed under the “at risk” grant. The $10,500 cut in federal funds, chiefly in Chapter 1 funding, will mean cutting one teacher, but Dr. Gangel said that the budget would allow the school system to employ two more aides for the remedial program. The draft budget calls for an additional $116,000 for salary increases. This will mean an increase of 3 percent for administrators, bus drivers, secretaries, custodians and cafeteria workers, Dr. Gangel said. For teachers and teacher aides, who have salary schedules, each step will be increased 1 percent, and employees will get whatever additional step increase their position on the scale calls for. For some teachers this will mean only a 1 percent increase. For others it will be up to 4 or 5 percent. The additional cost of debt .service resulting from the elementary school addition will be nearly $68,200. Free textbooks will add about $37,200 to the budget. Dr. Gangel said that number will be much higher next year, when new books are adopted. The budget also includes $34,500 for improvements to the high school septic system. See Schools, Page A-6 t.

Wine Grape Crop Reduced. By CINDY MAHAN T Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Rappahannock County vineyards have been hit hard by the cold and ice this winter. Most vineyard owners say they are taking a “wait and see” attitude, but determining the extent of the bud loss may be crucial in determining how the vines should be pruned while they are dormant. On Jan. 19, temperatures dipped to eleven degrees below zero at Persimmon Springs vineyard in Flint Hill. That same night temperatures of seven degrees below zero were measured at Gray Ghost Vineyard in Amissville and Farfelu Vineyard in Flint Hill. The Armor vineyard near Nethers registered a low of four degrees below zero. To assess crop damage, estimations can be made with knowledge of low temperatures occurring at a vineyard, and further tests can be made on the vines themselves, for a more accurate assessment. Primary buds on grapevines will suffer the most damage when temperatures reach ten or more degrees below zero. Dr. Tony Wolf, Viticulture Extension Specialist for Virginia Tech, provided information about several counties with vineyards, but he did not have any specific information for Rappahannock vineyards. In Fauquier County, at a vineyard reporting a low temperature of twelve below zero, primary bud loss is expected to be 100 percent for Chardonnay and Cabernet franc and 95 percent for Cabernet Sauvignon. In Madison County, at a vineyard which reported a low temperature of seven below zero, the primary bud loss is expected to be 22 percent for Chardonnay grapes, 28 percent for Cabernet Sauvignon, and 19 percent for Cabernet franc. In Orange County at a vineyard with a reported temperature of four below zero, the expected loss is three percent for Chardonnay, nine percent for Cabernet Sauvignon, and four percent for Cabernet franc. Just three degrees difference can mean a lot in the expected crop production. When primary buds die on a grapevine, the secondary buds will produce fruit, but the crop will probably be at least thirty percent less than the primary buds would have produced, vineyard owner Donna Brune said. In a worst case scenario, if the primary buds have died and frost hits the secondary buds coming out, then the tertiary buds will take over. However, they produce almost all foliage and little fruit, she added. In Viticulture Notes, Dr. Wolf says, “It is essential to assess the extent of winter injury to make adjustments, if necessary, in dormant pruning schedules.” Dr. Wolf will be giving a grapevine pruning demonstration in Rappahannock on Saturday, Feb. 26 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Armor vineyard on Route ’Jfrl near Nethers. The Armors have a five acre vineyard of Chardonnary and Cabernet Sauvignon. The purpose of this pruning demonstration will be to review principles and to focus on the training and pruning of the vines in their formative years. Also, Dr. Wolf will be discussing various aspects of winter injury, including assessments of bud and wood injury to grapevines. For more information on the pruning demonstration, call 703-667-2830. The snow/rain date is March 5. * MMiadaiMM Top line shows total workforce Thickness of red band represents number of unemployed workers Data Source: Virginia Employment Commission Rappahannock News Graphic/John Bretschneider Unemployment Is Reduced But So Is County Workforce By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Employment and unemployment statistics for the past two years in Rappahannock show that the county’s work force is shrinking and that it is quite seasonal. Employment is lowest in the winter months and highest in the summer. In 1993 there were 349 more people employed in June than there were in January. However, by December the numbers were down again, 343 below the June employment number. The second trend shown by the data, however, is that Rappahannock’s work force was sharply reduced when 1993 is compared to 1992. While unemployment dropped dramatically between 1992 and 1993, the numbers of people employed also dropped, perhaps even more dramatically. When the monthly numbers are averaged for the year, there were 250 fewer people employed in 1993 than in 1992, and 177 fewer unemployed, for a reduction in the work force of427. The numbers are supplied each month by the Virginia Employment Commission. The figure for the num ber unemployed comes from unemployment claims with additions for those found unemployed in a survey of households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. The figures used for the employed come from a survey of employers. William F. Mezger, a statistician for the VEC said that the monthly survey of employers targets the larger ones who employ about one million of the 2.9 million employed in the state. He said 60 percent of the manufacturing employers and 25 to 30 percent of the service and trade employers are surveyed. Once a year, figures from this survey are benchmarked against a survey of all 135,000 employers in the state, he said. He said that employment figures are collected by the place of work and “converted” to give the place of residence. “The smaller the area, the more the numbers are going to vary,” he said. Mr. Mezger said that many Rappahannock workers are employed in the construction industry, and that accounts for the seasonal variation. The summer also includes students working full time. Mr. Mezger did not have an an swer for the shrinking work force. The numbers for the work force are produced by adding the employed and unemployed and are only as reliable as those numbers. Some of the difference may be due to people moving out of the county. Some is no doubt due to workers who have used up their eligibility for unemployment compensation. Many may have given up looking for jobs. Some have retired. Janice Moffett, who keeps records on food stamp recipients for the Department of Social Services in the county, said that her figures for 1993 showed that many traditional patterns did not hold up for the year. •Usually, she said, she has more applicants for food stamps during the winter months, however in 1993 she had an unusual number of applicants April and September, and there were fewer clients on food stamps in December than there had been in June. She said she did not see the usual number of construction workers applying in late fall, as they continued to have work. However, the difficult weather this winter has increased the load as more people who do have jobs have not* been able to get to work and have lost wages.

Freak Wreck Causes Injury A Stanley man was injured early Monday morning when a slab of ice from a tractor trailor crashed through the windshield of the car he was driving on U.S. 211 west of Spenyville. State Police officer Wayne Sumner reported that Roger L. Smith, 46, was driving eastbound 8/10 mile west of Route 667 going around a curve when his wife, who was a passenger, saw ice slipping from a tractor trailor traveling eastbound. Trooper Sumner said Mrs. Smith reported that she thought the ice would hit in front of their car, but it crashed through the windshield. Mr. Smith was knocked unconscious. Mrs. Smith said she was unable to identify the truck, since she was busy controling the car. Trooper Sumner said Mr. Smith suffered several lacerations to the face. The Washington Rescue Squad responded to the call and transported Mr. Smith to the Culpeper Memorial Hospital where he was treated in the emergency room and admitted to the hospital. Mr. Smith was listed in satisfactory condition Monday afternoon. In another accident Thursday two people were injured. Sherry BrightbiU Marquand, 31, was driving eastbound on U.S. 211 in Amissville when a car driven by Jamesd Patrick Foresman, 41, pulled out in front of her. She tried to avoid the collision but was unable to prevent it. ( Mrs. Marquand and her son Matthew, 18 months, a passenger in her car, were treated at Fauquier Hospital and released. Mr. Foresman was charged with driving under the influence.

Sheriff Woodward said none of his deputies are making these calls, and citizens should not agree to accept the charges. He said he has heard of people receiving these calls in Washington and Sperryville, and more recently in Frederick County. He said if anyone did receive such a call and agree to accept the charges, he should bring his telephone bill to the sheriffs department where an attempt can be made to trace the call. So far no such charges have shown up on phone bills that he has seen, he said.

Council Reconsiders Use of Town Hall By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ncw«8teff Writer ' • The Town Council met with some opposition to its decision to rent out ttie Town Hall for public events. / At the January Town Council meeting, the council granted approval to RAAC to have a coffeehouse In the Town Hall on Feb. 12. Council member Brad Fisher brought in a draft application for people to rent the Town Hall, and passed out copies to other council members and interested parties in the audience. Diane Bruce, a resident of the (own of Washington, spoke against the idea of renting out the Town Hall for public use. She said, “I have been opposed to the public use of the building since you started using it. I thought the deed language was that this would not be used for public use. I would like to oppose such a broad use policy by the use of the building”. Ms. Bruce continued, “When there is parking on both sides of the street it is difficult to drive down the street. If people use it, they should have a place to park. If there are more than six or seven cars it is a headache.” Council member Ray Gooch said, “I was on council during discussion of the deed restrictions. Mr. Wickens’ suggestion was that the building be used only for town meetings. I objected to having the building used , only one night a month. We have a scarce lack of space in this county. I ’ think Trapezoid and Ki Theatre stayed here because they were able to use the other town hall. They have made a substantial contribution ip this county and town. I have been an. advocate that this building should be used”. Mr. Gooch added, “I do not think jt would be detrimental to the character of this neighborhood. The town is the host for these functions. Outaide groups are limited in their use of the old town hall. We desperately need this building. ” Inn Again Honored Country Inns Magazine, the only publication which uniquely targets both the inn goer and inn owner, announces that The Inn At Little Washington in Washington was selected as une ui uie tears Best Inn Dining Experiences” in its February issue. -• ’ The six top inns for dining were Chosen by Country Inns editorial staff who based their judging on the ehefs innovative menu, presentation pf the dishes, ambiance and service. “The six inns chosen as The Year’s Best Inn Dining offer diners some of the finest gastronomic experiences I’ve ever encountered,” said Susan Ullrich, assoicated publisher. r i BINGO Monday, Feb. 21 JACKPOT $1000 CASH GUARANTEE Winner Take All.

(Rt. 229N) Culpeper, VA Diane Bruce said, "The library did have some functions here and there was not much chance of doing anything about it. This is something new and we do not know where it will lead. I too would not like to see the building dark. The town should have a working office here. This could be a working town hall. The primary opposition I have is the parking. It is the biggest problem. People park in front of our yards and driveways.” Ray Gooch replied, “We agreed on an expanded use of the building before we bought it.” “We had a great debate about this building. It was an absolute mandate to put this building in a public use situation. It should be used by the public. It should not be for the sole use of the Town Council,” said Mayor Dean Morehouse. Ray Gooch added, “I would not have voted to buy the building if we could not use the building for public use.” Mayor Morehouse said, “If it gets to be more intensive than what the library was, then we will have to look at it again.” Steve Critzer spoke up from the audience, “The thing that comes to my mind is the septic system here. In the spring we should identify what is here before it gets used a lot. I could get a backhoe and get Ray and some trustees to check it out. My two main concerns are the parking and septic.” Mayor Morehouse said, “Maybe we could put in some more parking.” In an unrelated matter, Council member Janice Moffett said that during the last ice storm, the power box ripped right off the side of her house. She wondered if the council 11 should be encouraging people to trim limbs so that so many wires would not be knocked down. Brad Fisher replied that the power company has a contract to do that, but maybe they should bury their cables. Mr. Gooch mentioned that he had received an information packet from the State Board of Elections. Forms must be filed by March 1 for anyone wishing to run for Town Council, including for treasurer and mayor. As yet, the mayor is undecided as to whether he will run for re-election. Council member Susan Parrish and County Clerk Diane Bruce both have information packets if anyone needs to copy the forms needed to place their name on the ballot. Mr. Fisher said that when the new water treatment system is in place, the town will need a licensed operator. He wants to send Ray ? Pullen to a week-long class for a Class D license. It should cost around $250. The Council agreed that this is a good idea.

From new requirements to protect workers from exposure to pesticides, to continuing problems with the health of honeybees who polinate most of the crop, to a possible total loss of the peach crop, they received little good news. Brad Jarvis, Madison County Extension Agent, and Scott Cunningham, Rappahannock County Agent, surveyed growers to see if there is interest in forming a growers association. Jim Robinson from the Frederick County Gruit Growers Association said the organization had helped them particularly with hiring and housing pickers. Rappahannock’s own Bob Wellemeyer, the state’s top apiarist, said growers should take a look at the bee colonies brought in to polinate their fruits. “The beekeeper will take better care if he knows you’re looking,” he said. He said bee colonies are in spected by the state, and growers can write a contract to guarantee they receive only hives free of American foulbrood disease. However, he said, many beekeepers wait until fall to have their hives inspected. “If a handshake still works for you, let it go,” he suggested. He said beekeeping has become much more difficult since diseases and mites started getting into honeybee colonies. Donald Delmorey, from the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, told growers about new worker protection standards scheduled to take effect April 15. He said the language of the code is difficult to understand, but there are pamphlets and videos that make it clearer. He said the purpose is to eliminate or reduce pesticide exposure, to mitigate pesticide exposure if it happens, and to inform employees about pesticide hazards. He said the new laws are too complicated for full enforcement by April 15, but EPA inspectors will be looking for “the intent to comply.” Following a hearty lunch, growers heard programs on insect problems, fruit diseases and week control.

Knowledge of where the numbers come froip is not reassuring. The raw numbers for unemployment are probably , most reliable because they are based mainly on claims for unemployment insurance. However, a survey of 1,100 1 Virginia households, which may include some in Rappahannock County, to try to pick up those who are unemployed but not eligible for unemployment compensation, probably underestimates the number of citizens who are not working and would prefer to be working. The numbers used for estimating the number employed may be more misleading. There are several major employers in the county who employ people from outside the county, i Many members of the professional staff at the schools are not county residents. About half the work force at the Aileen plant lives in Warren County. The Faith Mountain Company employs several people who live in Culpeper County. No doubt the number of people who live in Rappahannock County but work outside the county is even larger. We wonder how figures for place of employment are “converted” to figures for place of residence. The statistics do not include any information about those employed part time, who would prefer full-time employment. They do not include information on those formerly employed full time, who have become part-time self-employed consultants. Mostly we wonder what happened to our work force. Why would a work force of 4,013 in June 1992 become a work * force of3,470 in June 1993, and why would a work force of 3,389 in December 1992 become a work force of3,047 in December 1993. \ We do not see any other indication that people are moving out of the county in droves. Rather we suspect that there are a few hundred people who would like to be considered part of the county’s work force and are not sure how to be included in the statistics. At least we are left somewhat skeptical of statistics that show the unemployment rate has dropped from 13.9 percent in January 1992 to 3.5 percent in December 1993. If the figures that are derived for Rappahannock County seem this strange to us, how much stock should we put in numbers for the United States as a whole? RappahannocK Heritage !

Letters to the Editor RCHS Lit Mag Launched , To the Editor; This year, the students of Rappahannock High School have been invited to participate in a “Literacy Renaissance” of sorts. Sponsored by Laurel Van Horn, chair of the RCHS English Department, The Corinthian will be the school’s first literary magazine in years. Mrs. Van Horn, who has shown continued support for the school’s aspiring authors through her teaching, has been more than enthusiastic about the project. She has helped to construct one of the most difficult of school publications. Under her guidance, we have gained a greater appreciation of what the written word is all about, and we have discovered the artistic community within our student body here at RCHS. How appropriate that the theme of our first issue is “Dreams,” since that is what our project began as—a dream conceived by Laurel Van Horn and a small, although extremely loyal, group of followers. As we begin preparation for the publication of our first edition, our dream is fast becoming a reality. We, the Editorial Board of The Corinthian, wish to express our'sincerest thanks to Mrs. Van Horn and the many contributors to our publication, especially aspiring writer Alex Vacek (with her very inspiring philosophy) and student artist Phillip Smiley, one of the most talented artists we have had the good fortune to work with.

Trash Dumping A Problem i To the Editor. I would like to speak to the person who is dumping trash on Route 616: Perhaps you don’t know that the Scrabble dumpster is less than one mile from your dumping grounds. I’ll give you directions: Instead of turning onto 616, continue on 626 for approximately a mile. You’ll find it next to the road with signs indicating trash can be put there. Nowhere on the sign for 616 does it mention ‘dump’ or “trash’. Actually, why don’t you stop by my house and ask for directions. I would be honored to help you on your way. I, for one, do not appreciate the mess you are leaving behind for the rest of us to clean up. JOHN MOYLES Castleton Ki Theatre Praised To the Editor We were heartened by you editorial (Feb. 10) about Ki Theatre’s important role in our community, I urging us all to contribute anything we can right now in Ki's time of financial need. The word “unique” is overused but it is completely accurate as a description of fa Theatre. More than a theatre, Ki is a growing Rual Arts and Education Center, searching for, and increasingly finding, ways to contribute to our community. Ki’s programs reflect that community spirit. We who have been fortunate to participate in Ki’s Christmas plays for the past three years have shared a joyous spiritual experience with our enthusiastic audiences, audiences made up of as diverse a section of our Rappahannock community as any we have ever seen. Last October, at harvest season, Ki Theatre joined with the Rappahannock Farmers Association to offer the first of what we hope will be many farmer-artist festivals. “Crossroads” in its first year brought 360 participants, twice the number expected, and got national attention for its ability to forge ties between the arts and farming, two of our most important elements here in Rappahannock County. Ki’s “Exchange” program appeals to a narrower segment of our community but has given rural artists of all kinds—filmmakers, choreographers, painters and sculptors, writers and composers—the opportunity to demonstrate their work and exchange ideas with their audience. These artists have shared with us audience members the process by which their art is created, as \^e in the audience have shared with the artists how their work has affected and changed us. i Last summer, Ki began to develop a theatre arts program for teenagers in our community. As we all know, too many of our teenagers feel like displaced persons, particularly in the summer months. “What is there to do around here?” Is the oft-heard lament. Ki now offers those teenagers an involving, rewarding discipline that can be the hub of a constructive and exciting summer. - , 5M i And, this comming April 8 and 9, Ki Theatre hopes to showcase this most glorious mishmash Rappahannock County has seen in a long time. Members of the community, young and old, professional and amateur, will be in “Open Theatre,” for two evenings of short pieces: comedy, pathos, monologues, scenes from plays, improvisations, mini-musicals, puppets, children’s stories and skit8-you name it, you’ll get it. We hope. It all depends upon all of us members of the communty. Please send your contributions, as much as you can, to Ki Theatre, P.OL Box 203, Washington. Thank you. 1$ Theatre lives! JOYCE ABELL Woodville Tricks Of The Writing Trade By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Uahtnai Prr— A sound theory of the writing art is to this effect: With minimal effort, good writers can become better writers. Let me pass along a few tricks of our trade. Here is one device: Use the active voice and not the passive voice. Consider this sentence from The Wall Street Journal: “At Brown University this spring, a male sophomore was accused of stealing food from a campus eatery by a female student.” Now, there is nothing grossly wrong with that sentence. It adequately conveys the intended throught. But notice how tight editing can improve it: “At Brown University this spring, a female student accused a male sophomore of stealing food from a campus eatery.” With a shift to the active voice, the sentence comes alive. The sentence no longer just lies there. It moves. Another example, this one from a photo caption in the Charleston (S.C.) Poet and Courier. “The links at Wild Dunes is ranked among the top 100 golf courses in the world by Golf Magazine." Suppose we shift gears: “Golf Magazine ranks the links at Wild Dunes among the top 100 gold courses in the world." The revision eliminates the rough collision of “link is” (links are?) and it gains the nice whip of a chip shot to tiie green. True, there are times when writers deliberately want to slow the pace of their prose. If we are writing languorously, it may be better to say, “The maples had been turned to scarlet by an early frost.” My own choice still would go to, “An early frost had turned the maples to scarlet.” Anyhow, my point is that writers should stay alert to the beneficial uses of a good active verb. This is another word of advice: Never be afraid of repetition. It is better to repeat a won! than to flee to a strained alternative. Teachers of journalism often tell the story of a correspondent in Latin America who was writing about the United Fruit Co. The writer spoke of bananas once. He spoke of bananas twice. He spoke of bananas yet a third time. On the fourth occasion the writer panicked. He spoke of the company’s trading in “The elongated yellow fruit.” One more banana would have been better. I thought of the elongated yellow fruit a couple of years ago when the Rome (Ga.) News-Tribune carried a feature story on a chicken farm. The headline read, “Incredibly, 42,000 hens lay Hillianl Farm edible ovals.” Maybe the copy editor was just trying to be funny, but the arch circumlocution didn’t come off. Both the hens and the editor were laying eggs. Another example appeared last month in The Wall Street Journal in a story about rising prices for gold: “The price of the gleaming commodity has leaped nearly 12 percent,.-.” Never mind the gleaming commodity! Give us the facts. This is a little dog trick that often proves effective: End a paragraph or an article with an accented syllablp. Notice how effectively The Wall Street Journal used the device two years ago in an editorial on the confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas: [ “In the space of about five days, the American people learned a lot about their government and probably about themselves. We’ll find opt tonight how many of the nation’s 100 senator learned anything at all.” . Wham! Bang! Zowie! There wps a perfect paragraph. Let me contrast it with an article in The New York Times last month on Prozac, the feel-good drug, and the need to replace artificially stimulated bonhomie in a less driven society: “And while we await that unlikely spiritual transformation, now and then we have a right to feel a little gloomy.” , COPYRIGHT 1994 J UNIVERSAL PRESS . . .

. Says Visibility Cut superintendent Bill Wade today issued information on how Shenandoah National Park collects visibility and air pollution data over the park. Sup. Wade said, “Recent media reports relating to air pollution in Virginia and visibility in Shenandoah National Park may have been misleading.” Shenandoah National Park and the National Park Service use the National Add Preripitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) report, published in 1990, to determine historic regional visibility trends. The NAPAP report used 137 sites in the United States to determine visibility trends form 1948 to 1983. These trends are regional; localized visibility trends may be slightly differedt. ; Park air quality monitoring specialist Rolf Gubler monitors visibility and associated pollution by human observation, by direct measurement of particles in the air, and by using an instrument called a transmissometer. A transmissometer measures the amount of light lost as it passes through the polluted atomsphere. These measurements can be converted to “visual range”-an estimate of how far people can see. Sulfate particles in the air cause 75 percent of the visibility impairment at Shenandoah. Direct mea! surement of sulfate particples at Big Meadows has shown a summertime increase of four percent per year from 1982 to 1992. “We’re getting more of the pollution in the summer that contributes to poor visibility,” reported Gubler. “The annual averages may stay the same or may even be decreasing, but the summertime levels of pollution-when we get the most visitors—have increased.” said Gubler. Studies have shown that a change in the amount of air pollution does not necessarily produce the same change in the human preception of visibility. So although we’ve gotten four percent more particles per summer since 1982, visitors may not be able to notice the gradual decrease in visibility. “But we can say the pollution, and therefore the visibility, is not getting better,” said Julie Thomas, park air program manager. As for nationwide visibility conditions in 1970, it was bad then, too, bad enough for Congress to pass the Clean Air Act. Summertime visibility ranges the last three years in Shenandoah have steadily risen from 24 percent poor days in 1991, to 31 percent in 1992, to 36 percent in 1993. These ranges were determined by human observation and cross-checked with the transmissometer data. “These numbers agree with our transmissometer data, and tell us that the <i number of poor visibility days—less than 10 miles-has steadily increased from year to year,” says Ms. Thomas. “It’s difficult to tell if this trend will continue.” Superintendent Wade said, “The real issue here is not how much or how many. The real issue is that visibility is bad on many summer days, and it is affecting the experiences of visitors to the park. “ Similarly, pollution is affecting park resources. We have an affirmative, legal responsibility to protect park resources and provide enjoyable visitor experiences. We take these responsibilities very seriously. Public awareness and education is a key to meeting them. We will continue to inform the public about conditions and impacts of air pollution.” Visibility has apparently not affected the number of visitors to the park. Park visitation during 1993 was 7.1 percent higher than 1992. However, a 1992 survey of 2,986 visitors revealed than although 56.8 percent of visitors notice the summertime haze, many of them attribute it to natural sources. Only in the last couple of years have visitors begun to comment on poor visibility due to iar pollution. “Visitors today are more educated about air pollution and its effects, as they should be,” said Sup. Wade. Out of the Attic 3 The Rappahannock Historical Society has these two old postcards from Woodville postmarked 1908.

Smokey Bear Celebrates 50 Years ' In case you haven’t heard, Smojkey Bear celebrates his 50th birthday in 1994. ' Few people realize that Smokey’s career in forest fire prevention started out on the drawing board. During World War II, forest prod,u<Jt8 to support the war effort were “ih great demand. Many feared that the enemy might be able to destroy die forest by wildfire. The U.S. For-est Services started the Cooperative Forest Fire Prevention Program in ,1942. The War Advertising Council ‘vims aksed to help with the program, hi August, 1944, a bear was introduced as the campaign symbol. J" Of course the bear was given the name “Smokey Bear.” The first poster produced had the message: iSmokey says: Care will prevent bine out of ten fires.” The campaign was very successful. However, an event in early 1950, six years after the Smokey symbol was created, gave forest fire E"evention efforts a real boost. Folwing the suppression of a large forest fire on the Lincoln National Firest in New Mexico, a badly injured bear dub was found in the burned out forest. The cub was nursed backed to health, taken to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. and became the living symbol of forest fire prevention. The rest, as they say, is history. Smokey’s original message that “care will prevent nine out of ten forest fires,” is as true today as it was 50 years ago. Actually, in Virginia, over 95 percent of forest fires are man-caused. All of these forest fires can, with care, be prevented. Burning of household and other debris causes 45 percent of forest fires in Virginia. Arson accounts for 12 percent and careless smoking another 12 percent. Many acres of valuable timber, wildlife habitat and water quality protection are destroyed each year due to this carelessness. Over the past few years, one cause of forest fires appears to be on the rise. With the increased use of fire places and woodstoves, more forest fires are starting from people dumping ashes into dry grass or woods. They think the ashes are “out.” However, when left in a bucket or in the stove, ashes can stay hot enough to start a fire for a week or more. To make sure your ashes are cold, they should be spread out and watered down well when dumped. Stir them again and water again to make sure there is no heat left. Also, never put ashes into anything flammable. Never set ashes in, or close to your house. Structure fires have been started by “cold” ashes also. Most forest fires in Virginia occure from mid-February through April. Be careful with fires at all times. Be especially careful during this period. As Smokey says, “Only you...” We must all work together to protect our valuable forest resources. r Up to $ 10,000 reward for tips on auto theft. 1-800-947-HEAT PRESIDENTS' SPECIAL FINANCING 3 On New ESCORTS A.P.R.

Dennis Says PEC Campaign Gaining Allies By SHARON KILPATRICK -iil-L“— Robert Dennis, executive director of the Piedmont Environmental Council, told the editorial board of Arundel Communications that public funding of bonds is only one of several hurdles the Disney Co. will face before it can construct a theme park in Prince Wiliam County. He said PEC’s goal is not to gradually wear Disney executives down, but to convince them early in the process that “with a lot of other sites, they wouldn’t have these problems.” He said one problem will be meeting new requirements of the Clean Air Act of 1991. “We have felt for some time one of the major hurdles Disney’s America has to overcome is that by its timing, it is likely to become a test case,” he said. The Washington areas Council of Governments has to come up with ways to reduce air polution in the area. If Disney adds numerous car trips to the regional transportation mix, other areas will have to reduce their polution to make up for increased polution from those trips, he said. Mr. Dennis said national environmental groups who worked hard to get the amendments to the Clean Air Act passed will probably take the lead in seeing that Disney’s America does not become the excuse for gutting the law. He added, however, that Disney has “tons of lobbyists in Washington trying to get waivers to the law.” He said a recently released report listing alternate sites was initiated by PEC, but it was “a multiclient report.” He said the report only dealt with the theme park, suggesting other sites in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. because there are “hundreds of better places for the mixed use development” Disney proposes for the rest of the 3,000 acres it has options to purchase.” He said that Disney is unlikely to build in Washington, D.C. because of the city’s “reputation” and that he would prefer that company find a better site in Virginia. He said the theme park “makes more sense in Dulles than Haymarket. At a different site the need for public subsidy would be less, and the impact on air quality would not be as great.” He said locating the Disney park along the Route 28 corridor might be “the only way to make the Route 28 tax district pay for itself.” He said that road project was based on estimates of “future revenues that have not materialized.” He said the Northern Virginia planning district already has 15 times as much planned and zoned for commercial development as is needed, and business interests that have won that zoning “don’t want to see their potential market moved to Haymarket.” He said with the help of that business community and national enl Realtor Organizes To Help With Funding for the Arts , Anne Furtick of Re/MAX Regency is heading up a Realtors “Save the Arts” support group in Rappahannock County. Mrs. Furtick said, “The liveability of any community is enhanced by business opportunities, recreation, live and movie theatre, multiple musical events from rock to classical, square and round dancing. All of this will be lost unless we support the arts in our community. “Rappahannock County has been synonymous with the image of a center of creativity in the arts and of cultural events, in addition to the protection of the environment and its rural surroundings.” Mrs. Furtick continued, “At a time that rural communities across 7 America are witnessing a revival of the arts, our community is on the verge of losing its image of leadership in the arts. The problem is inadequate financial resources for community organizations including Ki Theatre, RAAC, Middle Street Gallery, and the Theatre at Washington. These all are at the heart of the arts activities in the community.” Mrs. Furtick feels both the business community and the public at large need to launch a renewed effort to insure the arts continue to flourish by promoting increased funding for Ki Theatre and the other groups that are the moving forces behind the development of the arts. The efforts by the Realtors should encourage other groups to take similar steps, Mrs. Fertick hopes. i . ' 1 vironmental groups “we’ve got a lot of momentum going. ” 1& dennis said Northern Virginia local governments need more cooperation. In the Prince William Comprehensive Plan U.S. 15 is planned for six lanes, while Loudoun County’s Comprehensive Plan calls for it to become a scenic byway. Loudoun County wants any western bypass to be east of U.S. 15, while Maryland and Pennsylvania believe Virginia should four-lane the road from the state line to U.S. 29. Mr. Dennis said another hurdle Disney’s America feces is securing water mid sewer permits. “A number of groundwater people say there is no way Disney can find enough water on site,” he said. If Disney tries to buy from the Prince William Service Authority near Gainville that is already “fully subscibed” he said. If instead it is to come from the upper Occoquan, there are several other localities including parts of Loudoun and Fauquier counties that also want part of that water. MA lot of political jurisdictions have an interest in the capacity of the Occaquan,” he said. In response to a question of what purpose the property could serve if it does not become a center of Disney’s theme park, Mr. Dennis suggested Exxon could donate the land for a park, or it could be returned to agricultural use. He said it would also be suitable for a “campus style high tech research park.” He said, “That area of Prince William is overplanned.” Mr. Dennis said he found it inters eating that Disney seems to have “an inordinant influence in Prince William County and with the governor. If Disney does come in, somebody should speculate on what that means down the road. It’s kind of a weird way to run a government.” VDOT Recovering From Back to Back Ice Storms The recent clear and sunny days are giving the Virginia Department of Transportation of chance to restock storm-fighting supplies and complete much needed maintenance on its front-line equipment. Back to back ice storms followed by sub-freezing temperatures have taken their toll on personnel, equipment and supplies, says Gale Lipscomb, Culpeper district maintenance engineer. This break in the weather is a “real blessing.” It’s letting our personnel who worked around the clock during the January reast and have time with their families again. “Our equipment operators and mechanics who work hard during the storms to keep equipment rolling, now have the time to do what’s necessary to permanently repair what storm ravages did not equipment. The break in the weather gives to department the respite it needs to restock abrasives and salt.” Abrasive and chemical supplies are considered at critical levels when on-hand are sufficient for only one more storm. All equipment used for use for ice and snow removal operations in the Culpeper district in operational, notes Ms. Lipscomb. In a couple of accidents, some equipment received minor damage and one truck was temporarily taken out of service after rolling over during the last ice i storm. “Fortunately, bur driver was not injured and the equipment not damaged to the extent that it cannot be repaired in time for the next storm,” she says. The district maintenance engineer is confident that district crews are ready and supplies adequate for the remaining winter months. “It may have been nip and tuck had we not had the break in the weather, but we did we are taking advantage of it,” Ms. Lipscomb says. Preliminary data shows ice and snow-removal costs so far this season at more than $1.5 million. District crews have already used more abrasives this year than all of last year, and have used approximately 10,000 tons of salt, Ms. Lipscomb explains. She says salt use is just 5,000 tons below what was used during the entire 1992-93 winter season, including the March 12,1993, blizzard. “Our preliminary costs indicate we have spent about twice the amount this year than we did for the same period last winter,” Ms. Lipscomb continues. Last year about $3.1 million was spent in fighting winter storms. “No matter what effort is required, VDOT will continue to keep winter-storm ravaged roads as clear as weather conditions will permit* WINTER CLEARANCE ALL MERCHANDISE MARKED WITH RED DOTS FOR A MINIMUM SAVINGS OF 45% OR MORE Peebles Where Quality and Value are Always in Style 650 Warrenton Center • Warrenton, Virginia • Daily 10-9 Sunday 12-5 • 703-347-1820 Drip, Drip!

He asked the School Board for advice on how to proceed now that Quarles Petroleum will no longer supply bus fuels in their tanks. A 10,000 above ground tank would cost about $55,000, he said. As an alternative the school system could try to purchase bus fuels from local service stations. Dr. Gangel said he believes the gas will cost less if the school system has its own tank, but he said he was reluctant to add $55,000 to the budget. The board agreed to try to purchase fuel from one of more local stations. Dr. Gangel said he would also v 1 TOUR MONEY OR TOUR LIFE. When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own. recommend the school system pui> chase a used tractor for aboul $10,000. He also recommended spending $7,500 for stage lighting for the high school auditorium. H$ said he hopes to be able to employ a teacher specifically to work witli gifted and talented children, mainljjr at the elementary school. None of those items was included in the drafy budget, however. • School Board members met witli Richard Crenshaw, vice-presidenf and project manager with Ken; bridge Construction, the successful bidder for the elementary school adt dition. The board voted to include the addition to the parking lot in th4 contract. I The revised schedule calls fo{ signing a contract by Feb. 23, with groundbreaking scheduled for some* time in March. Assistant SuperinJ tendent Robert Chappell said Oct. 1 would be the earliest date the schocf could move into the addition. * He said there are no funds included for furnishings, since existing furniture will be moved into tfep rooms in the addition. «• The board heard a presentation on the “whole language” program Si first grade. A group of first gradefls showed that they are indeed learijing to read with this method. Their teachers said they are also learning many other language arts skills with the program, and all elements of tfep curriculum, including math, science and social studies are integrated with the language program. “

' ■ ' ■ 1 ' ' Kindergarden Program Provides Many Ways To Learn Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan Gunnar Propst and Will Dodson measure rice. ■!—iim ' ■ — i ..w iwm in——i ~ Teacher’s aide Grade Caliandro works with Luke Bedortha, Jeremy Miller, Emily Hilscher and Nicole Brandley on using pattern blocks to learn math concepts. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Kindergarteners at Rappahannock County Elementary School have fun and learn at the same time. The children spend much of their school day in “centers,” separate areas of the classroom which provide different opportunities for learning. The five kindergarten classes at RCES all have centers at which the students may learn colors, letters, counting, hand and eye coordination, social skills, sharing, shapes, computer skills, and more. It is up to the individual teachers how much time the children spend at centers, but they all spend at least one hour a day. The children are encouraged to pick whichever center they want to spend time at, but if they constantly pick the same one, the teacher will try to gear them toward another center. Each classroom has a housekeeping center, with miniature kitchen appliances, a washer and dryer, telephones, a cash register, and sink. It is one of the most popular areas. Children learn social skills there and how to share with others. They learn how to call 911, their grandmother, or Pizza Hut to order dinner. In Carol Johnson’s kindergarten class, she has centers set up for nouse Keeping, computers, writing, blocks, books, a listening center (tapes and records), puzzles, puppets, and discovery (science materials). When she asks the children to pick a center and go to it, they do so immediately, with enthusiasm. One little boy went to the housekeeping center and kept “washing” a stuffed animal, then put it in the * dryer and kept turning the handle on the dryer door so that it would “dry”. He did this over and over, and was obviously excited about his accomplishments. Each kindergarten class concentrates on learning a new letter of the alphabet each week. In Mrs. Johnson’s class, they were learning the letter “G” recently. For the week, the letter “G” would be connected somehow to many things done in the classroom, and the teacher would mention the “G” sound often during the school day. Assistant Principal Raye Tupper said that the ideas of the centers are not new; they are expanded from what was used before. The idea is for the children to spend more time learning from hands-on experience rather than sitting down with pencil and paper. The major change in the kindergarten program this year is the introduction of “Math Their Way”, where emphasis is placed on concept building and exploration, instead of worksheets and workbooks. Each : classroom has several methods of learning math. One might be a large box of colored rice or pasta shapes. With these, the students can learn colors, counting, can match up shapes, measuring, all definitely hands-on. Mrs. Tupper calls the measuring “a concrete way of teaching something abstract”. The children can learn that two different shapes of containers can actually hold the same amount. The Virginia state guidelines and early childhood education emphasize “DAP”, developmental^ appropriate practice. Using this curriculum, students are taught and learn at their own pace, because they have individual developmental levels. They grow and develop at different levels. This method is used at RCES. “All the prerequisites have to fall into place before they are ready to do the next step. We provide the foundations and framework. What we expect from the kids has stayed the same. We have just changed the method of getting them there,” said Mrs. Tupper. Mrs. Tupper said, “During ages five to seven, developmental factors nlav a hiir nart. When the leaminc is relevant and timely they learn it.” Teacher Carol Johnson has been teaching kindergarten at RCES for the past eight years. “This is much different than the way I was teaching five years ago. We have to please both ends of the spectrum. Not all parents believe this is the way to learn. We will have to go through this year and see at the end of the year how the childrens’ progress has gone,” she said. “The teacher’s job is not to sit down and structure. It is my job to facilitate to learn these skills. I watch them to see what they are ready for,” said Mrs. Johnson. In Geraldine Payne’s class, the children vote for what they wish to do, such as going outside for recess or staying in to work at centers. “They love it,” she said. The children select which center they wish to work at, and end up visiting 13 different centers over the week. Mrs. Payne’s students have also been studying some sign language, as she has had some training in it. “We praise the children a lot. We give lots of hugs,” she said. In Sherri Marquand’s class, her centers are called “work areas”, and when they go outside, that is designated as “play.” She calls the centers an old way of teaching that has come back. “The kids can really learn a lot through play,” she said. In Mrs. Marquand’s classroom are many lunchboxes filled with items which can be used for counting and discovering shapes and sizes. Some are filled with keys, rocks, nuts and bolts, and shells. Donna Oliver is a parent who volunteers a half day a week in Mrs. Marquand’s class. Last week she was. teaching two girls how to draw letters on a tabletop covered with shaving cream. She asked them to make an “S”, and they did. Then they could erase it and continue on with a new letter or number. When students wish to visit a center in Elizabeth James’s class, they place a Polaroid picture of themself in a pocket designated for a certain center. One center is a little room within the classroom which has large pillows on which the children can curl up and read. Periodically the teachers test the students. “You provide the opportunity for them to learn something and then you assess it,” said Marty Cannon. Last week she was testing her students with blocks. She placed three blocks, separated, in front of the student and then asked them, “Can you give each one of those a new partner?”. A large group of blocks was sitting nearby for the student to use. Mrs. Cannon noted which students understood the test, and which ones needed some help. Mrs. Camion has a container of rice in her room, and with the measuring, the students learn hand-eye coordination, besides math concepts. At one of the centers the children work with clay. It strengthens their hand muscles so they can learn to write more easily, she said. On the computers, the children can learn counting, ABC’s, telling time on the clock, and how to get through a maze called “Help the Froggy”. With color monitors and sounds emanating from the computer, it makes learning fun. On the cover of the Rappahannock County Public Schools Kindergarten Plan is the quote by Friedrich Froebel “The play of a child is the work of a child”. Mrs. Tupper says, “We are really very proud of the program”. Samantha Bridgeman and Brittnee Haught practice mak1 ing letters in shaving cream, i Amy Greene and Michael Bailey learn to use telephones. Middle Street Show Worth a Close Look ROBIN PURNELL Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer “One Square Foot,” Middle Street Gallery’s present show, demands a close look. Take your time as your stroll through this show and observe these small works with care. Most are watercolors, a media condusive to small size, and are very skillfully done. Two artist’s stick in my mind, Pablo Ramella and Petra Gerger. Pablo handles this difficult, whimsical material with great skill and sensitivity. Spend some time look at Still Life /; enjoy the rich colors and layers of paint that have created this piece. Tea Time by Ms. Gerber, is also well executed with it’s lush flowers, sumptuous blue and gold teapot all reflected in an elegant silver water pitcher. The Piece de Resistance of the show is Reliquary-Childhood by Ellen Fairchild Flugel. This deam-like mixed-media box, packed full of bit’s and pieces of a past is touched off with precious metals, insect wings of glass, luscious stones and even a tiny clothesline. This piece is a testament to Ellen’s imagination and skilled use of materials. I loved this work. Ellen is a cohsistent, professional, original artist and it’s wonderful to have her involved at Middle Street. Dieter Schellinger has one fascinating painting of what appears to be the decaying wall of a city street. I admire Dieter’s enthusiasm for this humble subject. City walls, with their graffitti, crumbling bricks and plaster, peeling paint and torn post ere can tell quite a history. Lheter has succeeded in capturing this in his painting Six, which, by the way, is painted with great vigor and confidence. If you have an empty space on your wall that is crying out for a well done piece of original art at very reasonable prices, this show is for you. “One Square Foot,” will run through Feb. 27. Gallery hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Earth Day Plans Begin The first of a series of organizational and planning meeting for “Earth Day ’94” will take place at the Rappahannock County Library meeting room at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 22. Earth Day falls on Friday, April 22 this year. That happens to be the same weekend as the world-famous Fodderetack Footrace. Any individual(s), clubs, groups, or families interested in participating in community-oriented activities like roadside trash pick-up, fun games at the park, promotion of upcoming spring and summer activities such as fairs and camps, and generally sharing in celebration of and for our unique Rappahannock Environment should come or call 636-3066 or 675-3342 for input and information. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan “Six” is an oil painting by Dieter Schellinger. Bland Concert Is Sunday The severe winter weather has apparently not cooled the enthusiasm of young Rappahannock musicians. Student registrations to date have already assured a varied and entertaining program for the Annual Bland Music Concert scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 20 at RCHS auditorium. There is still time for those vocalists and instrumentalists who haven’t yet signed up to obtain registration forms from their school offices, or the music teachers at RCHS, RCES or Wakefield Country Day School. To be eligible for the cash prizes students must either re side in or attend school in Rappahannock County. As in previous years the Lions Club has assembled a distinguished panel of musical experts to evaluate the performances. George Sims, band instructor for Fauquier County, and Cady Soukup of Blue Ridge Technology will serve again as instrumental judges. Kathy Knuepfer, well known chorale soprano and church choir director, will be teamed with Jo-An Getsinger from the Washington Cathedral Chorale to judge the vocal performers. Shaw's Pygmalion Is Coming George Bernard Shaw’s most famous play, Pygmalion, will be performed during the last weekend in February by the Christendom Players, when they return for their annual production at The Theatre at Washington. The great Irish playwright, Who won the Nobel prize for literature in 1925, combined scathing wit with penetrating social insight in Pygmalion as in some fifty other successful plays. For many, the story of Shaw’s Pygmalion is best known by way of the musical version, My Fair Lady, in which the part of Eliza Doolittle, the cockney flower girl, was played by Julie Andrews on Broadway, and by Audrey Hepburn in the film, and the part of Eliza’s mentor, Professor Henry Higgins, was played by Rex Harrison. But to see and hear portrayals of the original Eliza and Higgins, and the other characters in Shaw’s script, play-goers are invited to attend the Washington production of Pygmalion performed by the Christendom Players of Christendom College. Performances are at 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 25 and Saturday, Feb. 26 and 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 27. Ticket prices are $7 for general admission and $2.50 for students. For reservations and information phone The Theatre at 675-1253, or Christendom College at (800) 877-5456. Veterans Sought for Registry If you’re a veteran of American military service, or currently on active duty, an old buddy may be looking for you. A new organization called Registry of American Veterans (ROAV) will be able to help you locate friends you served with in the Armed Forces. ROAV is designed to be the largest private database of American veterans and military personnel in the United States. Its purpose is to alleviate the problems veterans encounter in searching for one another and putting former military friends back in touch with each other. ROAV gathers information from veterans and computerizes their name, current residence, military units they served in and the time periods served in each outfit. Persons who join ROAV will receive an initial and annual printout of the database information of all veterans who served in the same unit during the same time frame as the joining member. The service can assist in finding veterans for military assocations that are planning to hold reunions. However, it is expected to primarily aid long-lost buddies in locating each other. Veterans are encouraged to write to ROAV for information on how to get themselves registered. ROAV will then send them the proper form to complete and become part of the database. The address is Registry of American Veterans, P.0. Box 51148, Riverside, Calif. 92517.

Cooking Southern For a Healthy Heart By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Since February is Heart Month, I wanted to share some new “Southern” recipes that have been adapted to be heart-healthy in my nutrition column this week. Southern cooking is special, but specific regional foods or ingredients may not be health. Salt pork, fatback, or sidemeat used in the preparation of vegetables or legume dishes are high in saturated fats and/or sodium. Lower fat and salt alternatives are available. And salt can be omitted from most any recipe. For example, polyunsaturated vegetable oil can be used in place of saturated shortening when making biscuits. Egg substitutes or egg whites can be used in a combread recipe rather than whole eggs, which are high in cholesterol. If your recipe calls for salt pork, ham or bacon used instead: 1 tablespoon polyunsaturated vegetable oil and 1-4 teaspoon liquid hickory smooke flavoring or 1 tablespoon tub margarine and 1/4 teaspoon liquid hickory smoke flavoring; add more liquid smoke to taste. The following recipes are taken from the American Heart Association Cookbook and Cooking Without Your Salt Shaker. , HOME ECONOMICS Crispy Baked Chicken Cornflake crumbs give this skinless chicken a crisp new coating. A favorite finger food for children and a main dish for taking on picnics. 1 frying children (2 1/2 to 3 pounds), cut into serving pieces 1 cup skim milk 1 cup cornflake crumbs 1 teaspoon rosemary fleshly ground black pepper, to taste Remove all <, skin from the chicken, rinse and dry the pieces thoroughly. Dip in milk. Mix cornflake crumbs with rosemary and pepper, and roll pieces in the seasoned crumbs. Let stand briefly so coating will adhere. Place chicken in an oiled baking pan. (Line pan with foil for easy dean-up.) Do no crowd; pieces should not touch. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 46 minutes or more. Crumbs will form a crisp “skin.” Yield: 4 servings. Approx. Cal/serv: 270. Fresh Greens, Southern Style 2 pounds fresh greens (collard, mustard, kale, swiss, chard, turnip or beet) 1 beef bouillon cube 2 tablespoons oil 1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper bits Rinse fresh greens thoroughly in several changes of cold water to remove all sand and grit. Drain in a colander. Remove tough stems and tear large leaves into pieces. Place greens in a large cooking pan and add bouillon cube, oil and red pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. (There is no need to add water; greens will cook in the moisture clinging to the leaves.) Uncover briefly and toss greens with a fork to dissolve bouillon cube. Cover again and simmer gently for 5 to 8 minutes for young tender greens. » RAPPAHAMOCK Business & Service 703/675-3338 Only $3.95 per week for a 1 inch space! CHERRY STREET BUILDING SUPPLY CORP.

The population decline is mainly due to shortage of natural cavities for nesting, competition from house sparrows and starlings and pesticides. These beautiful song birds are making a comeback as pe<f pie put up nesting boxes for thenf As a result, many older folks are seeing their first bluebird in years and younger people are discovering the for the first time. More and more single pairs erf bluebirds are now nesting in boxes in yards, where people have a front row seat for watching these beautfe fill birds. If you have a large opeQ area, a trail of boxes will do well. ■ Many bluebirds winter in ViiC ginia, and they begin nesting ifl early April so, nesting boxes should be put up by late winter. You cap play a vital part in helping the bluebird population in your area com tinue to grow, by starting your owfi trail or putting up a box in your owQ yard. «For more information, send £ self-addressed, stamped, business size envelope and a small donation t& help defray cost to: Ron Kingston 3690 Country Lane, Charlottesville} Va. 22903-7636 or to North Amer> can Bluebird Society, P.O.
