Competition Hot At Ben Venue Ryan Scores Perfect Quartet From Four Starts By BETSY BRANSCOME Rappahannock News Staff Writer Whatever it may be considered in other jump racing jurisdictions — the Midwest, Pennsylvania, Maryland or Mother England — point-to-pointing is considered, by and large, an amateur sport in the Commonwealth. It was fittimj, then, that former professional jockey Greg Ryan had “regained” his amateur status prior to dominating Saturday’s Old Dominion Hounds Point-to-Point. With a restored “gentleman jockey” title the Maryland-based rider traveled to the Ben Venue Farm races April 8, winning four starts from four rides, including the co-featured jump races on the extensive program. Series competition at point-to-points is for conditioned company, made for local runners owned and ridden by part-time horsemen. The open races, however, often draw professionals and sanctioned runners using the relaxed point-to-point competition as preparation for future engagements. Such was the case with former pro Ryan and his two feature mounts, winners Circuit Bar and Gus’s Boy. Michael Murphy’s Circuit Bar looked every inch the multiple stakes winner that he is, wiring the field in the open hurdle contest. And Commonwealth’s 1991 timber titlist Gus’s Boy had little trouble dishing a four-length beating to the field in the Leeds Don open timber. But for the two stakes-caliber victors, young trainer-rider Gus Brown could have scored a local double with maiden Val’s Music, well-placed second in the hurdle, and with novice Edge Hill Squire in the open timber. Both of Brown’s runners would have won another day for sure. Ryan warmed up for his feature wins by r taking two of three maiden hurdle divisions, both for Montpelier-based conditioner Rodney Jenkins. “It’s neat to ride four races,” Ryan said after his wins, reminiscing about a near-paralyzing fall last spring that left him with crushed vertebrae and a dire warning from his doctors about possibly not riding again. “I’m getting fit. It feels good to win again,” with Jenkins’ Misty Slew, and ‘It’s neat to ride four races....It feels good to win again.' - Greg Ryan again with Michael Prentiss’ Wynwood in maiden divisions. Upperville native Jill Waterman booted home a pair of winners, first riding Foofie, who easily upset owner-rider hurdle series leader Coman Tan in the Pageland race. One race later, her Abacus nosed out the other two ladies timber runners. Any of the three could have bested the well-matched field, but at the wire. Abacus was first, with O.J.River second and Duke Kahana Moku third. “Abacus likes competition,” Waterman said of her timber victor, a former hurdle series champ. “He’s green [over timber], I’m green ... It’s not the best combination.” Waterman nevertheless guided both of her winners with riding confidence that belies -1 - her modesty. Lack of rain caused a number of latt scratches in the timber races, including the three-horse ladies race, but Waterman wa: full of praise for racecourse managers. “Tht ground was as good as it could be,” she said “I didn’t think ‘how hard’ as I gallope< around. It was even and well-cared for, espe dally considering what they had to repai from last year’s deep going The course rod< well.” Michael Hoffman’s Lounge Lizard cam< within “one hoof’ of taking the division lea< in the Seven Comers timber series. But fo one hoof left on the wrong side of the las fence, he possibly could have caught flyinj leaders Courageux and Mike DuPont on tht run-in. But that’s not how it happened in tht two-horse race. “I can’t rate my horse,” said winne DuPont afterwards. “That’s why we were st far out in front [early in the going.] Ant when Lounge Lizard fell, my horse jus coasted home.” Virginia bred by Marsyl Hammond Courageux soon found his way into curren trainer Mairead Carr’s stable. “He is a ver difficult horse, and I finally just gave him t< Mike. He’s spent that past two years work ing with him, doing dressage, hunting, ant everything else. He’s done a helluva job. With “difficult” Courageux, DuPont i enjoying a racing renaissance. / Middleburg resident, he rode the Sevei Corners division actively from 1975-’82 taking the year-end trophy witl Estremadura. But for want of a suitabl horse, he sat out competition until thi spring. With all of DuPont’s hard work Courageux, just 7, looks on course for long and successful steeplechasing career. County Sewer Board Has Heavy Agenda Reserved Rights Fee Approved By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Water and Sewer Authority had a full agenda last Thursday when it considered handling the testing and reporting for the Town of Washington’s water system, approved two requests for sewer rights for new businesses on U.S. 211 west, decided to increase hours for a part-time employee to every weekend and holiday and adopted fees for reserved sewer rights for new lots. Mayor Stewart Willis and Sperryville sewer plant manager Donna Chabot appeared to talk about what will be needed if she is to handle testing for the Washington water treatment plant. The plant has been installed and is ready to be put in service, but it must have a certified person to do testing. Mayor Willis said. Ms. Chabot said she believes she can handle that additional duty in two hours. She said she could work from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. with system manager Troy Junkins working from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. to provide 10 hours of coverage for the plants. With the part-time employee working every weekend, they could cover both plants and both schools, she said. As an alternative she said she and Mr. Jenkins could work nine hours a day and get a three-day weekend every second week. She said her work at the plant and schools takes “a full” six hours a day, with two hours for work for the town and another hour for incidentals, or when something goes wrong, that would make a nine-hour day, she said. Some members of the authority had received a letter from County Administrator John McCarthy suggesting that with benefits, Ms. Chabot’s time works out to $15 per hour. He said two hours a day every day would work out to $10,950 for a year. He noted that the authority could save some money by using a less expensive employee some days, and suggested the WSA could charge the town a 5 to 10 percent mark-up for providing the service. Members were generally opposed to charging a “mark-up” saying people in Washington should not be subsidizing people in Sperryville. They decided to determine exactly what providing the service would cost. WSA Chairman Gene Leggett and most members were worried about whether taking on the additional work would compromise the work at the Sperryville plant. “The thing I’m worried about is if this thing reduces your effectiveness at your primary job at the Sperryville plant,” Mr. Leggett said. Members noted taking on the additional work would also put more miles on the car Ms. Chabot uses. “It’s the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority,” membe’ Charles K. “Pete” Estes said. “We can be asked to serve any community in the county.” He noted that the county covers the salaries of the plant operators and is reimbursed by the WSA and the school system. The town could be added to that, he said. Mr. Leggett said, “We all have the same objective, and therefore we can get there.” He See WSA, Page A-8 Veto Session Features More Partisan Battles I By SHERRY JONES Capitil News Service After going head-to-head during the regular session of the 1995 General Assembly, legislators flocked back to Richmond last week only to find themselves faced with another conundrum. What begaa as a one-day veto session in which legislators were to consider Gov. George • Allen’s vetoes and amendments ended as a two1 day affair with all 11 of Allen’s vetoes holding t fast. Legislators and Gov. Allen wrangled about , a variety of issues including allocation of lottery t funds and concealed weapon permits. i Only days before the veto session began, ) Gov. Allen announced his plan to return lottery proceeds directly to localities for education, law I enforcement and tax relief. “Given that our proposal to return lottery > profits to our local communities can be fully l funded without future cuts to current programs,” i the governor said, “there simply is no remaining , reason why any member of the General l Assembly should oppose this common-sense : measure.” ; Although the governor pitched his plan to , Virginians through an unprecedented use of i radio and television, legislators successfully diffused Gov. Allen’s lottery plans — at least until next year’s session. Embracing a parliamentary maneuver, the Democrats managed to send the budget with Allen’s amendments back to the House Appropriations Committee, where the Democratic-control led committee rejected Gov. Allen’s amendments and added a few of its own. Del. Thomas M. Jackson, Jr., D-Hillsville, said sending the lottery money to localities would severely impact Virginia’s budget in the future. “Our needs are so great in the area of correctional funding that we simply can’t afford the luxury of sending money back to the localities,” Del. Jackson said. In addition, the House was able to strike down legislation that would have allowed concealed weapon permit holders to bring their weapons into bars and restaurants. “Alcohol and firearms do not mix,” said Del. Kenneth D. Melvin, D-Portsmouth. The governor’s amendment to allow guns in bars and restaurants passed the Senate the first day of the session 21-19, but Thursday’s vote in the House killed it. In a press conference Friday, House Majority Leader C. Richard Cranwell, DSee Assembly, Page A-8 Old Rag Bulletins Rep. Wolf To Visit U.S. Rep.

Fire Destroys Home, Burns 30 Acres of Woods By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer A house belonging to Carole and Barry Lenardson in Castleton was destroyed by fire last Thursday. Nobody was at home at the time of the fire, and no one was injured. The house was burnt to the ground by the time firefighters arrived. Capt. Jeff Brown of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Office and Virginia State Trooper Sean Knick noticed the smoke from the fire and called it in. Firefighters from every company in Rappahannock responded. T Sheriff John Henry Woodward was one of the firefighters with the Castleton Fire Department who arrived on the scene at 12:30 p.m. By then the house was gone, and the fire had spread into the woods behind the house site. It ended up burning 30 acres of underbrush in the forest, but the trees seem to have survived. In all, said Sheriff Woodward, there must have been 35-40 firefighters there plus forest firefighters, two 3-man strike teams, and a helicopter to douse the flames from the forest. Some of the firefighters remained to fight the forest fire until 2 a.m. The cause of the fire is unknown but is being investigated by the insurance investigator. Ms. Lenardson is a manager at the I3leu Rock Inn. Last week saw several other fires particularly in the Shenandoah National Park. t Rains this week have reduced fire dangers. 1 zmmsL Rappahannock News Staff Photo-'Cindy Mahan Little remains of Carol and Barry Lenardson’s house after Thursday’s fire.

Gobblers ' Fair Game Saturday j The 1995 spring gobbler hunting season opens statewide Saturday. Shooting hours are from one half hour before sunrise until noon each day. A 1994-95 state hunting license is required, along with a big game license. The bag limit is one bearded bird per day, no more than two per season. It is unlawful to use or have in possession any shot larger than number two fine shot when hunting with a shotgun. It is also unlawful to use dogs during the spring season or to use electronic calls. The season runs through May 20. Blaze orange is not required for spring turkey hunting, although it is T recommended. The main reason for hunting accidents during spring turkey hunting is mistaking another hunter for game, according to Rex Hill, Hunter Education Coordinator. Mr. Hill urges extreme caution in I properly identifying the target. “Make the assumption that every movement is by another hunter, then positively identify the target and what is beyond it before shooting,” he said. A blaze orange strip of cloth l about 4 inches wide, tied around the tree above the place you plan to sit - will alert another hunter that your are there. Other recommended safety tips are: ■ J ■■ • Avoid using a gobbler call. • If using decoys, carry them in and out in a blaze orange bag. That’s a good way to cany a turkey out also. • Be careful when using decoys. How you place them could put you in . the field of fire of another hunter. • Sit with your back to a tree that 1; is wide enough to cover you from t' behind, so your arms are not visible. • When using camouflage over -i your face, make sure it’s a type that - 1 doesn’t hinder your vision.

Young Burglar Gets Nine Months in Jail By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ncwi Slaff Writer Two juveniles, incarcerated in connection with the burglary at Baldwin’s Grocery in February, had their cases transferred to Circuit Court from Juvenile court last Thursday. Because both boys, Basil John Chuppa, 17, of Front Royal and Nathan Dale Foreman, 17, of White Post, have lengthy juvenile records, including property crimes, Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke decided they should be dealt with as adults instead of juveniles. Judge W. Shore Robertson agreed. The boys have in the past been placed in g state-run juvenile facility which stresses education and coun selling. In a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, Mr. Chuppa pleaded guilty to all four felonies he had been charged with: grand larceny, breaking and entering, food stamp fraud, and possession of burglary tools. The first three felonies could carry a term up to 20 years each, and the last charge a term up to 10 years. The plea agreement, approved by the court, gave Mr. Chuppa five years for the grand larceny charge, six years for the breaking and entering, two for the food stamp fraud, and one for the possession of burglary tools, all to be served concurrently with the Virginia Department of Corrections, within effective sen tence of six years. Because of Mr. Chuppa’s age, Mr. Luke agreed not to send him to the penitentiary. His six years were suspended and Mr. Chuppa was sentenced to 18 months in the county jail, with nine months to serve. Upon his release from jail, Mr. Chuppa will be on supervised probation for three years; must submit to alcohol and drug testing and treatment as required by his probation officer; pay restitution of $2,125 to Paul Baldwin or his insurance company, in monthly installments of $150; pay the costs of his prosecution within six months of his release from jail; and cooperate with the Commonwealth in the prosecution of any co-defendants charged with committing any of the crimes. Mr. Foreman’s case was continued to April 20 for entry of a plea. In an unrelated case, Charles C. Boykin, II, AKA Charles C. Boykin, Jr., 33, of Amissville, pieced guilty to three felonies: possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm after having been convicted of a felony, and possession of cocaine while simultaneously possessing a firearm. Mr. Boykin had been charged with the felonies in February, 1993, after a search of his vehicle, and was found to have possession of 5.18 grams of cocaine. He will remain incarcerated until sentencing on April 20. Sue Scheer Calls Katzen Allen's Puppet By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Sue Scheer, a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for the 31st House of Delegates seat, told Rappahannock Democrats she can defeat Republican incumbent Jay Katzen in November because she will pick up significant Republican support. “1 want to play a role in stopping what 1 believe is one of the most dangerous political regimes in our state’s history — the George Allen slash and bum approach to Virginia’s future,” she said. “We can play a role by defeating his unwavering and most loyal fellow-traveler, Jay Katzen.” She said she is neither a liberal nor a conservative but “in the middle...1 am a listener and I learned a long time ago that I have a lot to learn. 1 want you to tell me what Rappahannock’s concerns are.” She said she is a product of the public school system and supports public schools, but Del. Katzen’s proposal for charter schools “called for taking money away from the public schools and applying it to extreme, experimental charter schools, not state accredited, with teachers and administrators that were not certified. Charter schools are nothing more than private schools set up with public money with no standards required.” She continued, “Don’t be fooled. Gov. Allen and Jay Katzen’s stand on education is dictated by the radical right, and that is very scary. We must have a Democratic majority in the House of Delegates and the Senate if we value public education.” She said Del. Katzen campaigned as a friend of education and the environment but has turned against both causes. She chided him for supporting the Disney’s America theme park pro Sue Scheer posed for Prince William County. “Katzen voted right along with Gov. Allen’s plan to give $160 million of taxpayer backed bonds to the multibillion Disney company...while cutting funds for Virginia public education, local law enforcement and the environment. Clearly the governor is out of step with Virginians and Katzen is out of step with his district,” she said. She opposed Del. Katzen’s support for “what 1 call the polluters’ relief bill, which grants immunity to polluters who simply file an environmental assessment report” and for voging against the State Strategic Planning Act, which “would have Citizens of Rappahannock County 1995 Motor Vehicle Decals Decals are now on sale and must be displayed by April 15, 1995.

Katzen refused to be briefed on the bill by staff and voted against the bill. “He was totally uninformed, just following the governor’s direction,” she said. / She said there is onfe agency of state government seems to have more money than it needs. “VDOT seems to have a budget that is out of sight,” she said, opposing plans to six-lane a part of U.S. 29 and proposals for additional lanes on U.S. 211 and 522 in Rappahannock County. “And they are still at it trying to cut a huge swath through our farmland with the Western Bypass. Where has Mr. Katzen been while we fight off the concrete pavers?” She said her campaign has set up a VDOT “watchdog committee.” Steve Manning of Amissville said that most people find county taxes more of a burden than either state or federal taxes. Hubert Gilkey, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said county taxes go up to fund mandates from the state and federal governments. Mrs. Scheer said she would oppose “unfunded mandates.” She said she would favor returning lottery money to the localities to reduce the burden on local taxes. Mr. Manning disagreed with Mrs. Scheer on widening U.S. 29 north of Warrenton. He said, “The road is packed. I think it should be widened.” Mrs. Scheer said the plan is to build six lanes for just one mile with three stop lights included in the section. She said that ultimately the plan is to make U.S. 29 limited access, with overpasses and without stoplights. Four lanes would be enough to handle the traffic if it is limited access, she said. , She said the six-lane project is just a “stop gap” measure that would also sacrifice many old trees.

Kevin Miller, in announcing his bid for reelection, has put forth several proposals for state and local tax policy. in some ways they combine proposals put forth by Gov. George Allen this year, but as a more coherent whole. The governor proposed that the business and professional office license (BPOL) imposed by many localities in the state be phased out. Separately he proposed that lottery proceeds be returned to the localities. The governor would have sent general fund state funds to replace the BPOL tax for five years, leaving the localities without compensating funds in future years. y This proposal seemed particularly perverse from Rappahannock’s point of view since the county imposes no BPOL and would therefore get no funds to replace it, but county citizens do pay into the pool of the state’s general fund from which replacement funds would have come. Sen. Miller proposes also that the BPOL be eliminated, but would send lottery funds to all localities. Those with BPOL taxes could use the lottery proceeds to replace that source of tax revenue. Counties without a BPOL tax could have an equal share of lottery revenues to reduce local property taxes or for education or law enforcement. That, at least, seems fairer. However, it is hard to take seriously any proposal to return 100 percent of lottery proceeds to localities. The state has kept all the proceeds from the lottery since it first came into existence. At first proceeds were used chiefly for buildings on the state’s college campuses. With the recession early in Gov. Douglas Wilder’s term the piocecds from the lottery were needed to balance the state’s budget without a tax increase. Later in the Wilder administration lottery proceeds were pledged to pay off bonds approved by the voters of the state for college buildings, state parks and state mental health facilities. Some lottery proceeds will continue to be needed for these purposes and perhaps for prison construction also. A proposal to return a portion of lottery proceeds to the localities would be welcome. Rappahannock voters should consider carefully how the county’s share is determined. To have it based on the local composite index, as the governor proposed for last week’s veto session, would do the county very little good. Furthermore, while the case has been made that the gross receipts portion of the BPOL is unfair, a simple flat license fee for businesses seems a reasonable way for localities to raise money and take some of the sting out of real estate taxes. Sen. Miller further proposes, as Gov. Allen did, an increase in personal exemptions from state income taxes. The details are not spelled out, so it is not possible to tell if this is the same proposal. The personal exemption could be increased without such a drastic reduction in revenues from the state income tax, but to do so rates would have to be increased. The state surely cannot afford to give up lottery proceeds and substantial amounts from the income tax in the face of rising costs for prisons and cutbacks in federal assistance without a dramatic drop in funds for almost all other state services. Election 1995 It is clear that county voters will have at least one choice to make in the 1995 election. Democrat Sue Scheer’s challenge to incumbent Republican Del. Jay Katzen promises to offer a clear choice to voters. It’s not clear whether the Democrats will challenge State Sen. Kevin Miller, and so far no county races are shaping up. The county’s constitutional officers and members of the Board of Supervisors appear, with two months to go before the ballot is set, to have no opposition. It’s not even clear that the county will have enough candidates for the School Board to fill the five seats. Interestingly the people most involved in the ballot initiative to have an elected School Board have since put their children in private schools.

JAY KATZEN R-31st District The Democrat majority of the General Assembly blocked the return of lottery revenues to our localities, ensuring that all Virginians lost the lottery last week. The opportunity to bring new money to communities and provide an actual increase in funds for education, law enforcement, and tax relief was defeated on nearly a party line vote. This vote represents two distinct philosophies of government. 1 and other supporters of this measure want to shift government away from the bureaucrats in Richmond toward more local control of resources. We believe that parents, teachers, and local officials can decide best howlocal needs are to be met. Opponents of the lottery measure felt strongly that most decision making powers should be centralized in Richmond and that local communities are not capable to making their own decisions on their needs and priorities. They don’t trust the people. I do. The Democrats passed a bill in the regular Session (patroned by Delegate Van Landingham) in which they deceptively applied the “lottery” label to existing general fund support for education. However, this bill provided no new funding for education. An equally phony argument was r advanced on the floor that disparity funding would be lost with the Governor’s proposal. This simply is not true. Completely separate from and in addition to sending lottery revenues back to localities, the Governor’s amendments earmark a like amount of general fund dollars for “disparity” and other education programs, thus matching Van Landingham’s bill. The Governor’s proposal would have been funded through cost-saving initiatives including comprehensive welfare reform, government downsizing and privati zation, and elimination of wasteful state spending. What did the Democrats deny our district? Bringing resources closer to the people was denied simply because this is an election year and it is Governor Allen who proposed the measure. What other explanation could exist for the many legislators who flip-flopped from positions of longtime support for returning lottery profits to localities to suddenly not trusting their own constituents and local governments enough to have this additional funding? This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that since 1987, 22 out of 40 current Senators and an astonishing 93 out of 100 current Delegates have patroned or copatroned legislation returning lottery revenues to localities. Yet, the majority turned their backs on all Virginians by blocking this measure for political purposes. As long as the current leadership of the General Assembly is in power, it looks as though their hold on the “cash cow” of lottery proceeds will never loosen. Sen. Miller Announces for Election By KEVIN MILLER Sen. 26th District It has been a great honor to serve as your representative for the 26th State Senate District in the General Assembly of Virginia for 12 years. I thank you for making it possible. I also thank you for staying in touch with me with your views. Things have changed for the Republican Party. When I was first elected to the Senate we had nine Republicans out of 40 Senators. In the 1991 election we increased that number to 18 out of 40. I believe the chances are great this year we can gain three or more seats which will put us in the majority this November! Things have changed for me. For eight years 1 served as the ONLY Republican of the 15 members on the important Senate Transportation Committee. After the 1991 election, we increased this to seven Republicans on Transportation. I am the senior Republican on the Transportation Committee. As a matT Silver threads and Golden memories...) < of a 7th grade Williamsburg field trip!) \~~HON. ARE THESE YQUS ' { WHITE HAIRS / FOUND I IN THE SINK ? Vxxi Ij _H o p ( ) OH. YEAH. THEY WERE A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA THAT / BROUGHT BACK WITH ME!" 3 ter of fact, I am the senior Republican on four other standing committees: Rules, Privileges and Elections, Local Government, as well as Rehabilitation and Social Services. Things have changed for the Democrat majority in the General Assembly. The relaxed and confident arrogance of power has been changed. As exhibited during this year’s session, the arrogance of power is still there. However, they 'are no longer relaxed and confident. They are running scared. The actions by a majority of the Democrats during the 1995 session made it clear that from the onset the plan was to trash all of the Governor’s initiatives. This was confirmed by the disclosure during the session of a “game plan” that was prepared in December 1994, before the session even started. I am once again asking for your support. 1 am now announcing that 1 am running for re-election. For starters, here are a couple of reasons: 1. lam eager to become a part of the first Republican Majority in the General Assembly of Virginia. 2. With my re-election and a Republican majority, the 26th District will have a senator who is chairman of a major standing committee. 3. My legislative agenda will include: (a) A legislative package whereby there will be a five-year phase-out of the Business and Professional Office License (BPOL) tax along with a five-year phase-in of a return of all net lottery proceeds to counties, cities and towns. The net lottery distributions could be used by localities at their discretion. Possible uses would include an offset for the loss of BPOL revenues, reduce the property tax burden, or increase education or public safety funding. This would in effect be combining two proposals made by Governor Allen that were summarily trashed by the Democrats. (b) An increase in income tax deductions for personal exemptions similar to the proposal by Governor Allen. Virginia has one of the highest income tax burdens in the nation for low income families. For example, only six states have a higher income tax burden for a family of five with an adjusted gross income of $15,000! Ed. Note: Sen. Miller gave this speech announcing his intention to run again in November at the Republican mass meeting for Harrisonburg and Rockingham County Saturday.

T 1 ( The Writer’s Art Just 'Surfing the Internet' By JAMES J. KILPATRICK L'nivenal Press Syndicate Most high schools today require their graduates to have taken a foreign language. What language are young people learning today? They’re learning to talk computers. Technically speaking, computerese isn’t a language. It’s a jargon. One of the definitions of jargon is “unintelligible talk or writing; gibberish; babble,” and to the uninitiated that’s exactly what it sounds like. One characteristic of jargon is that it takes familiar words and adapts them to unfamiliar meanings. Something that is floppy is loose and limber; a disk is something circular. In computerese a floppy disk is a solid square. Thumbing through a Macintosh manual, I learned about icons, but these icons are not Christian paintings or sculptures. Computerese gives us menus, buttons, bits and defragmentation. We find windows, including layered windows. “A color graphic with 16 colors per pixel requires four bits to represent each pixel.” Yes. - These days a popular pastime for masters of computerese is to surf the Internet. Lexicographers are lagging far behind the high school students. None of my dictionaries lists “Internet,” and all of them define “to surf’ only as riding the waves on a surfboard. The “cyber” prefix apparently emerged from the “cybernetics” of Norbert Wiener in 1948. He combined the Greek word for helmsman or governor with the Greek and Latin suffix-etic, and behold: Computerese was born. About 1963 the English language absorbed “to cybernate,” meaning to control by computer. Somewhere out there is cyberspace. Random House lists cyberphobia, defined as “an abnormal fear of computers.” How do the lexicographers know what is an “abnormal” fear of computers? My own fear of computers is perfectly normal. I just stand back and marvel. Ten years ago Verbatim, the language quarterly, awarded its annual prize to an essay on new words. The author asserted that contemporary American English “is probably the most prolific ^word-producing machine that has existed since language first appeared on this planet.” I’ll drink to that! The cyberneticians aren’t the only expanders of vocabulary. Frazier Moore of The Associated Press came up with an absolutely gorgeous word a year ago. He was writing about ice skater Nancy Kerrigan, whose “pristine and ingenuish image has been punctured.” Ingenuish! I love it! The adjective neatly combines ingenue, Library Board Adopts New Rules for Gifts i By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer At last month’s meeting the Library Board adopted a new policy to deal with gifts in kind. The policy committee was charged with developing a policy after a silver communion set from Mt Salem Baptist Church was offered to the library last winter. The set had been given to the church by Anne Slaughter Keyser’s family. The church’s most recent minister suggested Mrs. Keyser wanted it donated to an organization, such as the library, where it could be put on public display. The policy says for such a gift the head librarian or a board member must be informed about the gift, with a description or showing it, an explanation of any conditions on the gift must be included with the offer. The entire board should be informed of the offer and decide whether or not to accept it based on the appropriateness of the gift, the need for a temporary or permanent display, the need for publicity, and any conditions on final disposition of the gift. The policy states the library will not be responsible for appraising the gift for tax purposes. Based on the new policy, the board decided not to accept the gift of the communion service. They said they had no way to guarantee its safety while displaying it, and it is associated with a particular “denomination.” The board also agreed to consider selling several silver coins and a pair of presidential cufflinks from the Lyndon Johnson administration. They were stored in a safety deposit box in the Rappahannock National Bank until recently when they were moved to a safe in county SUMMIT MOTORS Automotive Salem We Finance NO CREDIT? BAD CREDIT?

The board also agreed to a new policy for requesting assistance from the Friends of the Rappahannock Public Library. All such requests must be approved by the full board, and communicated to the chairman of the Friends by a designated member of the head librarian. The board tabled consideration of a revised policy for the use of the meeting room. The board agreed to try to have the roof and all the wood trim on the library painted this year. The paint is flaking off or peeling in several places, Chairman Roberta Anderson reported. Member John McCarthy said the county could probably take care of obtaining the paint and providing trusties from the jail to do the painting. Chairman of the buildings and grounds committee, Frank Warner reported he and Mrs. Anderson had purchased a chairs for the librarian and a computer workstation and a book cart at a used furniture auction. He said he was still looking for a desk for the librarian to be put in the staff room. He said that unfinished items include concerns about the front door, acquiring a bike rack, door mat, moving one handicapped sign, and making a decision on coating for the driveway. ingenuous and gush. Open the gate of lexicography and let it in. I believe “flavorous” also is new. It turned up in a supermarket ad in Florida some months ago: flavorous bananas, 33 cents a pound. Nothing wrong with that. Quite a few new verbs have come over the transom. In the Cleveland Plain Dealer last June a feature writer interviewed a student shopper who was “looking forward to his first full summer of garage saling.” It would conjugate. The Coming (N.Y.) Leader reported that a 14-year-old boy, injured in an accident, “was lifeflighted to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre.” Probably he was helicoptered, or choppered. Jill u Nan oi Cincinnati passed along a letter to the editor of the Enquirer: “As an avid fan of baseball, 1 am absolutely abhorred [abhor is an old verb; here it’s simply used passively] by what I have witnessed...” A great many other avid fans share her abhorrence. None of my desk dictionaries sanction “to incent,” thank you, but the abhorrible verb announced a stock plan “in order to incent” its key employees. “To incent” is worse than “to incentivize," but not much worse. From a publication called Musclecar Review comes a verb that may be no more than an interesting misspelling. “Lug nuts aren’t expensive, but they sure can widdle away at the budget.” Webster’s III lists widdle as a shortened form of widdle-waddle, meaning to struggle or wriggle. 1 have heard the verb as baby talk for what infants do when they wet their diapers, but 1 expect all the writer meant was “whittle away.” Two newspapers, far apart, made a verb out of Dr. Kevorkian last year. At a time when Florida was getting some bad publicity for the shooting of tourist, The Associated Press quoted the head of Miami’s convention bureau: “Channel 7 is Kevorkianing their own marketplace.” In Seattle the Post-Intelligencer reported that a computer publishing firm had gone broke. “At least it was able to Kevorkian itself, instead of being buried by competitors.” Now there’s a verb that won’t make it. Shoot “to Kevorkian” into cyberspace and let it go.

Fodderstack Race Set For Earth Day Saturday By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Next Saturday, April 22, will mark the 17th running of the Fodderstack 10K, and as of last week 65 runners had preregistered. The Inn at Little Washington has again signed on as the principal sponsor of the race with Roy Wheeler, Eileen Day and Roger Batchelder real estate offices as additional sponsors. This annual spring event coincides with Earth Day this year. County Administrator John McCarthy said,- “We are hoping for beautiful weather and a wonderful race. It will be interesting to see how it dovetails with the Kite Fly," scheduled for the afternoon at Ben Venue Farm. County Girl Scouts will be “man ning” the water stations. Pepsi Cola is donating drinks and race numbers. The volunteer rescue squads will be present at the top of Lees’ hill and at the finish. Merrill Strange has again made the trophies including the coveted Eva Smith Memorial trophies for the first Rappahannock man and woman to finish. Again the Virginia Savings Bank of Front Royal is offering a cash prize to any man or woman who breaks their respective course records. The men’s record of 31:26 was set by Steve Pinard in 1985. One year before Kim Belyea set the women’s record of 36:46. The race begins at 10 a.m. at the former packing house in Flint Hill. Lions Club Auction Scheduled By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer What do you have that you no longer need? Just about everyone must have something like that. You can turn that liability into an asset by letting the Rappahannock Lions Club recycle it for a neighbor who needs it. The annual Lions Auction is an all-county affair always well attended by the community. It draws scores of eager bidders from neighboring counties as well. The 13th of May can be a lucky day. Someone can get a real bargain by bidding on what you’ve donated. If the Lions’ good luck continues we will raise the money required to keep on serving the many needs of the community. That kind of “recycling” has always made a lot of sense. You may not have any idea what you have that you could donate. What about all those items that you meant to give the Lions lastj year, or the year before? How about a little Research and Development program? Would you schedule a few minutes to research your personal inventory of things you can most easily do without? The development phase of the program starts when you call your designated Lion driver to come around for a pickup. Or maybe you can even deliver the donations to us yourself. The Lion Auction has another way to make the 13th of May your lucky day. Each club member has an adequate supply of raffle tickets, a dollar a chance; 25 chances for only $20. First prize is $300, second prize is $200 and third prize if a Bulova office clock. Lion Bill Payne keeps the auction moving with fun and excitement like real pros always do. For any additional information you can call the auction chairman Roger Andrews at 937-8974 or cochair Hollie Pendleton at 987-8627. Remember the date - Saturday, May 13 at the Washington Fire Hall, starting at 6 p.m. and going on until everything is sold. Come early and have dinner. We sell food too.

Soccer, Softball Gain Wins Baseball Loses. Track Waits By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writers Soccer coach Uli Maeyer said that in the second half of last week’s game against James Wood, the team played better than any Rappahannock soccer team he has ever seen play, under his coaching or anyone else’s. RCHS beat James Wood 4-1. Coach Maeyer said, “We were absolutely dominant the whole game.” In the first half, Willie Shanks and Eddie Sause each scored two goals, while James Wood scored one on a comer kick. During the second half, said Coach Maeyer, they concentrated on play ing more defense. “Our intention was to secure the victory,” he said. Last Friday, the team again defeated their opponent, Madison Co., 3-1. Willie Shanks and Mike Letsen each scored one goal in the first half, and Eddie Sause scored one with a penalty kick. “We lost our rhythm after 25 minutes and fell into some sloppy playing. A good team puts the opponent away and then relaxes,” said Coach Maeyer. So far this season, the soccer team has won three, lost one and tied one. Their next game is scheduled to be played at Quantico on April 24, and their next home game will be against Quantico on May 3. The track team had one meet scheduled last week, but it was called off by Clarke County due to “cold and windy” weather. They were scheduled to compete Wednesday at Stonewall Jackson. The baseball team dropped three more games in the past week, while the softball team got two wins and one loss. Both teams lost in away games at Manassas Park Wednesday. Softball Coach Carl Payne said of the 20 to 10 loss, “Errors are why we lost.” Students Attend Conference Willie Eastham and Nancie Gallegos were selected by local cooperatives to attend the Virginia Council of Farmer Cooperatives leadership conference. On April 7, they attended workshops at Grave’s Mountain Lodge in Syria. They also listened to speakers, played games, and met new friends. The students were divided into groups where they were given the DeBergh Attends Model Congress Van DeBergh of Washington atended the Harvard Model Congress with the Wakefield School delegation. He assumed the role of a member of Congress on the Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs Committee. Eleven students from Wakefield School attended this year’s Harvard Model Congress for four days. They research issues before going. opportunity to manage a simulated farmers cooperative with the aid of a computer. This simulated training taught the students the many things needed to run a successful cooperative. The representatives competed for an all-expense paid trip to the national conference in Minnesota. This was determined by two written tests, handing in their interviews, and by being courteous and cooperative. Over sixty students attended the conference from various parts of Virginia. Sixteen of the students were selected to attend nationals with six alternates. Nancie Gallegos was selected as an alternate. Willie said, “I feel the experience will benefit me in the future. I learned that the choices and decisions that are made in a business .directly effect the business’ success." Nancie said, “I learned that it takes a great deal of hard work to run a business.” Scholarships to the conference were provided by the Rappahannock Farmers’ Coop and the Rappahannock Electric Coop. Amy Payne started as pitcher but walked three batters and Cyndi Welch came in, in relief and pitched the rest of the game. She gave up eight hits, had two strike outs and walked eight. Cari Kerr, Angie Atkins, Courtney Welch, and Cyndi Welch had two hits each. Kylene Wolfe, Susan Jewell and Janet Hitt had one hit each. In Friday’s game with Clarke County the Panther squad had a 17 to 5 victory. The Panther squad had 21 hits. Cari Kerr went five for five with a triple and a home run. Janet Hitt, Courtney Welch and Angie Atkins had two hits each. Keirsten Kerr and Kylene Wolfe had three hits each and Amy Payne had a single. Cyndi Welch pitched the whole game giving up five hits, walking two and striking out two. “It was a good defensive game and a good hitting game,” Coach Payne said. While the soccer and softball teams were winning Friday, the baseball team lost 13 to 3 to Clarke County. “We made too many errors,” Coach Jason Gochenour said. “You can’t give up four, five or six outs and win a ball game.” The team also lost to Manassas Park. In that game the team was leading behind Willie Eastham’s pitching when his arm gave out, Coach Gochenour said. He said pitching is generally a problem, but fielding errors are why pitchers have to throw so many pitches in a game. “We haven’t been playing good defense behind any of our pitchers,” he said. The softball and baseball teams traveled to Luray Monday afternoon for a non-district game. The baseball team lost another game while the softball team won 24 to 10 on a very wet field. Again Cyndi Welch pitched the whole game. The Panther squad had 19 hits. Susan Jewell led the hitting with four including a home run. Cari Kerr had three hits including a home run. Amy Payne also got three hits. Janet Hitt, Angie Atkins, Courtney Welch had two hits each. Julie Atkins, Tiffany Keys and Courtney Mauro had one hit each. The softball team now has a record of two wins, one tie and three losses.

For the team’s third goal Ryland converted a comer kick with an assist from Michael Greenaway. Adam Rogers from Rappahannock County also plays for the Comets.

Committee Considers Block Schedules for High School By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer • Block scheduling will be coming to Rappahannock County High School in the fall of 1996, but the particular form it will take is still up in the air. A committee of teachers, administrators, two high school students and citizens has heard presentations from representatives of two high schools that have started block scheduling. Last month representatives from Osborn High School in Manassas talked about the alternating day schedule they adopted. Last Thursday representatives from Brunswick High School in Frederick, Md., talked about the semester system of block scheduling they adopted. Under either system of block scheduling students would take only four classes each day, and they could take eight in a year. With the alternating day schedule, students would take four classes one day and four different classes the next day. The days alternate throughout the year. Students are handling eight classes throughout the year and teachers are handling six. Under the semester system students complete four of their classes in the first semester and then take four more. Students handle only four classes at a time and teachers only three. The teachers and administrators from the two schools who have addressed the committee are very enthusiastic about their new schedules, and neither school seems to have seriously considered the schedule the other school adopted. With either system classes are 80 to 90 minutes long, compared to the current schedule of seven classes a day, each about 48 minutes. This is the primary advantage of block scheduling. Classes such as laboratory science, art and technology have more time to work on projects. A smaller percentage of time is spent setting up such projects and cleaning up after them. Some such activities which require two class periods under the current system can be completed in one under block scheduling. But proponents of block scheduling say it also greatly benefits other classes. With 90minute classes teachers cannot spend the whole time lecturing and must engage in more student-centered learning activities. Teachers report they are teaching more creatively. They News Analysis are more likely to use a variety of teaching strategies, such as cooperative learning, role playing and small group work. With four classes per day, there are fewer interruptions during the day, and there is less time when students are passing in the hall, a primary time for discipline incidents, administrators report. Most say the school atmosphere is calmer after block scheduling is introduced. Teachers under either block scheduling system have a full 80 or 90-minute planning period. Another advantage cited is that students have the opportunity to explore more options or concentrate more in certain areas because they can get an eighth class in a year. Advantages of the alternating day schedule are that teachers and students get a break from each other every other day, and that there are not large breaks in time between sequenced classes. Proponents of that schedule say it teaches students to manage their time, and that it is particularly advantageous to athletes who do not have to complete homework when they return home late at night after an away competition since the classes don’t meet every day. If they have managed their time well, they have already prepared for the next day’s classes and can wait another day to prepare for the classes they had the day of the game. Advantages of the semester block schedule are that students only have four classes at a time, and that they can accelerate their schedules by taking two classes in a subject in one year, two classes of mathematics, science or a foreign language for example. In general students are not allowed to take two years worth of required English classes in one year. Most report that students are particularly likely to take more foreign languages under a block schedule system, and under the semester block it is fairly common for students to take two years worth in one year. Teachers who have worked under that system report they get to know their students better since they are teaching about half as many at any one time. The primary disadvantage of the semester block system is that there may be nearly a year between sequenced classes. For example a student may take Spanish I in the fall semester and not get to Spanish II until spring of the following school year. Advanced Placement classes also present a challenge under the semester block schedule. Exams for college credit for such classes are given in early May, well into the second i semester but nearly a month before the end of., the school year. Some schools require students J to take advanced placement classes both, semesters and give two credits for the class. „ Others have students take the classes for one and a half semesters with 9-week classes > offered to fill out the rest of the year. o In general teachers report they “cover” ^ less material under block scheduling systems, but students learn more from the material that, is “covered.” / The committee is hoping to make a recommendation by June, giving the school sys- ' tern more than a year to make preparations, t Developing a master schedule, providing inservice training for teachers and evaluating budget considerations for staffing and text- , book purchases will consume much of the; year before implementation. and values 10.99- 51.99 BOYS' DRESSWEAR.

Mayor Willis noted the council meets this Wednesday. He said he was eager to get the treatment plant operating. They agreed they could call a special meeting with both Town Council and the WSA to work out an agreement. Ms. Chabot stayed to discuss problems at the Sperryville plant. She said they had received additional notices of violation from the Department of Environmental Quality because scheduled repairs of the collection system have not been completed. The WSA agreed to surveyn the distribution system and make repairs to prevent storm water inflow as part of the consent decree agreed to when the plant was found in violation before Ms. Chabot was hired. She said the plant continues to get inflow from storm water. She said the Department of Environmental quality may order the WSA to put in a 55,000 gallon holding tank to handle this inflow. The WSA voted to immediately hire the part2Dtime worker for all holidays and weekends so Mr. Jenkins can concentrate on getting the repairs made. They agreed to help locate areas of inflow when the next heavy rains come. They said they do not want to have to install the holding tank, which could force the authority to borrow money, since it is expected to cost more than reserves. Earlier the WSA agreed to reserve sewer rights for six months for a couple from Page County who wish to purchase an existing lot next to Tom Von Fange’s furniture shop and build a two2Dstory building with a residence upstairs and a retail business in the ground floor. Member Carson Johnson said that would require three EDUs (equivalent to a dwelling unit) twp for the business and one for the residence. The WSA also agreed to reserve one and a half EDUs for Jeff Green, who wants to put a four2Dbay ajutc repair shop on a newly created loi across U.S. 211 west from Mr. Von Fange’s shop. He said there would be a maximum of five employees, but he would be the only employee at first. Finally, with the hour getting late, the WSA took up the issue that has been causing controversy for months, how to charge for reserved sewer rights. They voted 3 to 1 to charge $10.75 per month, one2Dhalf the regular EDU rate, for reserved sewer rights for newly created lots. The charge would be higher for reserved lots intended for commercial buildings. This charge will not apply to any existing lot. “Time is of the essence,” Mr. Estes said. Member Carson Johnson voted no saying, “I’m opposed to it because I don’t think it covers us. It doesn’t do what we want to do.” He had suggested the authority instead charge its $300 hook up fee, but the discussion became confused over whether the fee is $200 or $300 and whether it is a hookup fee or a connection fee. Mr. Leggett said, “$300 is peanuts.” Mr. Johnson said, “$300 is more than we’ve gotten from anyone else.” They considered charging a higher hook up fee also, but postponed any action on that. ► Assembly From Page A-l Roanoke County, labeled some of Gov. Allen’s amendments “reckless,” explaining that many Virginians do not consider the governor mainstream. “We came down here, and we did the responsible thing on the budget,” Del. Cranwell said, adding that it’s time for the governor as well as the legislature to focus on responsible government. With all 140 General Assembly seats up for election in November, Gov. Allen repeatedly has argued that Virginia voters will not tolerate the Democrats discarding many of his proposals during the 1995 session. Del. Cranwell, however, disagreed. “If you do your job and do the right thing,” he said, “the polls and the voting process will take care ol itself come November.” • l 1 9 9 5 FAMILY FEST AND HOME SHOW Saturday, May 6th & Sunday, May 7th 11:00 a.m. ~ 5:00 p.m. IDA LEE RECREATION CENTER (Business Rt. 15 North of Historic Leesburg, Virginia) • New Homes • Home Improvements • Products & Services • Pools & Spas • Handcrafted Treasures • Plus Much More!!! • Cooking Demonstrations • Beauty Make-overs , • Health & Fitness • Fashion & Jewelry • "Just for Kids" area HOURLY PRIZE DRAWINGS PQCC ADMISSION rriCC & PARKING FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CALL (703) 777-1200 A Presention of WAGE Radio Parking Lot Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan People mingle among the cars in the reserved parking area at the races Saturday.

Cranwell said it is time for everyone to focus on Virginia’s future. “It’s not too late to all of us to work together for a better Virginia,” he said. During the veto session, the General Assembly also failed to override Allen’s veto of a measure that would require seat belts for youths riding in the beds of pickup trucks. In an attempt to muster support, Del. George W. Grayson, D-James City County, voiced his Concern for the safety of Virginia youths. “After all," the delegate said, “teenagers often feel they are immortal and they are willing to take extra risks.” Nevertheless, several Republican legislators contended that such a measure would serve as another unnecessary government restriction on Virginians. “I don’t see a public outcry from people that says we need protection from ourselves,” said Del. Allen W. Dudley, R-Rocky Mount. Among the governor’s amendments to fall prey to the legislative ax was the motor-voter legislation. Gov. Allen had sought to delay the date of implementation of this bill, which would permit residents to register to vote at the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles, social services and I__-I 12.5 HP Kohler Command OHV Single-Cylinder Engine 6-Speed AutoGear™ Transmission Direct Drive Shaft to Transmission, No Belts Electric PTO Welded, Full-Length, Twin-Channel Steel Frame Pivoting Cast-Iron Front Axle Manual Lift With Spring Assist Standard 38‘ High-Vacuum Deck Quick Frame Attach System Optional Mulching or Bagging §>$2,199 Mfg.

Allen has vowed to veto the General Assembly’s amendments. In other legislative business, Gov. Allen pledged to kill an abortion clinic-access bill that the House refused to weaken. During the floor debate in the House, Del. Clifton A. Woodrum, DRoanoke, pleaded with legislators to reject the governor’s amendments to this bill. There is a need, he argued, to be specific about access to abortion clinics and not to apply the legislation to all businesses. “There are no crises at K-mart,” Del. Woodrum stated. “This addresses a clear and present danger at health-care facilities.” Ground Broken : For Highland High School By DEBORAH SHEPHERD Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of Highland School’s student council wielded the shovels during Highland’s ground-breaking ceremony on April 6. David Plank, headmaster, said, “This begins an important phase in the continuing development of Highland School.” According to William C. Gridley of Bowie Gridley Architects, the lower school facility will receive extensive renovations, as well as the addition of 12 classrooms, an art room and a music room. He said the master plan was drawn up last summer and detailed plans took shape in the fall. The ceremony was held in the soccer field behind the lower school. During his opening remarks, Plank expressed gratitude to the families of William A. Hazel and John “Til” Hazel, who donated 22 acres for Highland’s new high school. Plank introduced Dorothy Vernon Montgomery Rust, co-founder of the original Calvert School which became Highland in 1956. Miss Rust reminisced about picking four-leaf clovers on the hill upon which the school was built in 1928. Also present were members of Highland’s board of trustees, Tony McGraw of Scott Long Construction and Mark Riley with F&M Bank. Susan Lewis of Highland School said that site excavation will begin as soon as the school has been hooked onto the town sewer tap. This is necessary, she said, because the drainfield lies under the proposed lower school extension. As the lower school site is excavated, the site for the new high school will be cleared as well, said Ms. Lewis.

He said that his editor at Scholastic, Inc., Dianne Hess, is Jewish and walked him through it. When Mr. Bittinger first submitted sketches of his original ideas for the book, he included two boys in the book’s family. The editor suggested that he use two girls instead. He did this, submitting more drawings, ending up going through four stages of drawings before the editor said the drawings had the vitality needed for the book. Two local girls were used as Mr. Bittinger’s models for some of the illustrations: Hannah and Hallee Morgan, daughters of Judge Douglas Ginsburg and Hallee Morgan of Flint Hill. Hannah and Hallee are the main girls in the illustrations, and the rest were made up out of his imagination, said Mr. Bittinger. He used his own hands to draw from, and sculpted clay heads for all the people except the two girls. Still lifes were set up also to paint from. The illustrations show a lot of activity and movement, something that the publisher wanted for the book. Many of them show the family members at the dining room table during various stages of the Seder, one with the family dog with his paw on the table, maybe trying to get a piece of matzah for himself. Mr. Bittinger signed the contract to illustrate the book two years ago and finished the illustrations a year ago. The book was released this January. He is already at work on illustrations for a second book, about a family who is building a house on a Civil War battlefield, entitled The Blue and the Gray. He hopes to have these done by September. Along with this new direction Mr. Bittinger’s art has taken, he still does a lot of portraits. In the State Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Ned Bittinger works at his studio on a painting he is doing for a North Carolina family. Department hang portraits he painted of Secretaries of State James Baker and Lawrence Eagleburger. For his own enjoyment, Mr. Bittinger does portrait drawings of people right here in Rappahannock County. A show of his paintings from the book just finished at Capricorn Galleries in Bethesda. The Dec. 4, 1994 issue of Publishers ’ Weekly carried a review of the book and said, “Bittinger’s background as a portrait painter shines throughout the luminous holiday scenes in his picture book debut.” Locally, the book is available at Cabin Fever Books in Washington and at Barnes & Noble in Charlottesville. It is also carried in all major bookstores, said Mr. Bittinger. He is donating a copy of the book to the Rappahannock County Library.

Thus, “The Legend of the Dogwood”. The author is unknown, yet may we ponder its beauty... It is said that at the time of the Crucifixion, the dogwood was the size of the oak. Because of its strength, it was chosen for the Cross. The tree was sorrowful. Despite His suffering, Jesus sensed its distress. With limitless pity, He said... “Because of your sorrow, you shall never again grow large enough to be a Cross. You will be slender and bent, your blossoms a Cross, with two long and two short petals, the outer edges of each a nail print, rusty brown and stained red; and in the center a crown of thorns...so all who see shall remember.” This Easter, as we worship, may we remember the selfless and unconditional love of our Savior, and take it into our heart. t Copyright 1995 Keister WMams Newspaper Services P 0 Bo* 8005 Charlottesville VA ??906 JE_Bi ABERDEEN BARN Steaks - Seafood - Prime Rib Banquets • Luncheons in the Holiday Inn of Culpeper 703-825-1037 Jimmie's Auto Parts Complete line of foreign & domestic parts. 161 Saunders St. • Culpeper 703/825-8030 The Color Shoppe Paint • Carpet • Wallcovering Blinds Rt. 29 South - 2 miles from Culpeper Old Hudson Ham Building 547-9743 GOLDEN CORRAL Family Steak House 703-825*5888, Culpeper i | ■’^‘••'•^N •• ^ ^ ^ •• •• ■• | ><*<• *• $## ‘‘*>-*, :-s^ • •■;>> • . s-» jjjjj S S'? ^ s -•* V \ ' s ■ <<$$ %N Wg# ?$>■ v *••■<• • -.

Easter Breads From Your Bread Machine By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics What could be better Easter morning than fresh bread from your bread machine. Here is a fruit and nut loaf that is perfect the for assembling ahead so it can bake while you sleep and be freshly baked when you rise. And for the really ambitious, there’s a recipe for making croissants in the bread machine. If you don’t mind putting in the kitchen, the results are well worth the effort required for layering the dough with butter and chilling several times. You will be really impressed with the light, melt-in your mouth texture of the finished rolls. And, Easter would not be complete without a recipe for Hot Cross Buns. The bread machine makes light work of the mixing and then the dough is shaped and baked conventionally. Questions & Answers To help you better master and understand these new bread machine appliances, here are a couple of questions received recently and answers. My bread machine no longer stays in one place on the kitchen counter while mixing. How can I keep it from “walking” off the counter? Sometimes the rubber feet harden with age. Try filing lightly with an emery board to roughen the surface. If this does not work, place the machine on a damp cloth. You could also check with your manufacturer as they might have replacements available. Always be sure the machine is pushed HOME ECONOMICS back on the counter in case it does move at all during mixing. I have a new 2-lb. bread machine. How can 1 adapt your recipes to these larger size? First of all, you can always make smaller quantities in any machine. When you want the larger-sized loaves, just double the recipe quantities for the 1-lb. loaf. Most 2-lb. loaves use approximately 4 cups flour and 1 3/4 cups liquid. This fruit and nut bread has a hint of orange. Serve warm or cold with several butter spreads for Easter or any spring morning.

Tips: • For nuts, use chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds or hazelnuts. • Chopped candied cherries or chopped apricots or dates can be substituted for cranberries. Nutrition Info/Slice (1/12 of 1/5lb. loaf): 223 calories, 6 g protein, 7 g fat, 36 g carbohydrate, 228 mg sodium, 18 mg cholesterol. Dietary Exchange: 1.5 bread, .5 fruit, .5 fat. These buns are popular during the Easter season. We’ve enhanced the buns with apricot and orange and added a touch of almond to the frosting. Hot Cross Buns 15 Buns: 7/8 cup milk 1 large egg 3 cups bread flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots 1 teaspoon grated orange peel 114 teaspoon ground cardamom 2 tablespoons margarine or butter 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast 10 Buns: 3/4 cup milk 1 medium egg 2 cups bread flour 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 /3 cup chopped dried apricots 3/4 teaspoon grated orange peel 1 /8 teaspoon ground cardamom 1 1/2 tablespoons margarine or butter 1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast 1. Place ingredients in machine in order recommended by manufacturer. 2. Set on Dough cycle with no baking. 3. Divide dough into 15 (10) pieces. Shape each into a round ball. Place seam-side down on lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. With very sharp knife or razor blade, make crosswise cut about 1/8-inch deep on each bun. If desired, brush with slightly beaten egg. Bake in preheated 375 degrees oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly. Combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons hot water. Stir in 1/4 teaspoons almond extract. Place in plastic bag; make small cut in comer of bag. Pipe frosting on top of buns in slits to form cross. Nutrition Info/Bum: 183 calories, 5 g protein, 3 g fat, 35 g carbohydrate, 216 mg sodium, 18 mg cholesterol. (Based on 12 slices per 1 1/2-lb. loaf.) Dietary Exchange: 1.5 bread, .5 fruit. The flaky texture of these rolls is well worth the extra effort. The bread machine makes light work of the basic dough, but allow plenty of time for layering with butter. (Be sure to sue butter as margarine or butter spreads are too soft for the layering and rolling.) Easy-Do Croissants 7/8 cup warm water 1 egg 1 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups unsifted bread flour 3 tablespoons dry milk powder 2 tablespoons instant mashed potato granules or flakes 1 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons bread machine yeast 1 tablespoon butter, chilled Slightly beaten egg 1. Combine ingredients, except for unsalted butter and beaten egg in bread machine in order recommended by manufacturer. Set on Dough cycle with no baking. 2. Turn dough onto light floured surface. Roll to 18 x 12-inch rectangle. Using vegetable peeler, peel lengthwise slices from about 1/3 of chilled butter to cover half dough (12 x 9-inch area), leaving outer 1/2-inch edge without any butter. Fold over other half of dough and seal edges. Roll out dough again to 18 x 12-inch rectangle. Slice another 1/3 of butter and place on half of dough. Fold over twice. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. 3. Roll chilled dough to 18 x 12inch rectangle. Fold up 1/3 of dough from 12-inch end. Fold other end over to make about 12 x 6-inch rectangle. Turn 1/4 turn. Roll again to 18 x 12inch rectangle. Fold up into thirds again. Place in plastic bag and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. 4. When ready to shape, roll chilled dough to 15 x 12-inch rectangle. Cut into 3 strips 4-inches wide down 12-inch side. Then cut crosswise into 5-inch each in half on diagonal to form 18 triangles. Make a 172inch slit at wide end of each triangle. Roll up each starting with slit wide end and rolling toward tip. Place on lightly greased baking sheet with tip tucked under and curling end to almost meet. 5. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Carefully brush with beaten egg6. Bake in preheated 425 degrees oven for 12 to 15 minutes. 18 croissants. Tips: • Croissants can be frozen after shaping in step 3. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet until frozen. Transfer frozen rolls to plastic freezer bag. To use, plade on baking sheet and allow to thaw and rise, about 4 hours at room temperature or 6 to 8 hours at 60 to 65 degrees. Bake as directed. • When rolling dough be careful to not break through dough with butter pieces. If the butter becomes too soft, return dough to refrigerator or freezer to chill. • Regular milk can be substituted for water and dry milk powder.

Growing Grapes In the Garden By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Juices, jellies, wines and pies are all products that can be made form grapes. And of course, the fruits also are delicious when eaten fresh. So it is not surprising that grapes are one of the most popular fruit crops for the home garden. A favorable climate is essential for successful grape growing. Climatic requirements are a minimum growing season of 150 days and winter temperatures above -25F. In addition, grape vines need a site with good air circulation, full sunlight, and adequate soil moisture. Deep, Well-drained Sandy Loam Soil Is Best Grapes are tolerant of a range of soil types, but are most successfully grown in deep, well-drained, sandy loams. Ideally, the site should be prepared the year prior to planting. All perennial weeds should be eliminated, and organic matter (manure, compost, peat moss, etc.) should be incorporated into the soil. A soil test can provide recommendations for pre-plant « fertilization. Purchase grape vines from a reputable nursery ordering early (four to six weeks before the last frost date in your area) to insure the desired cultivars are available! Request that the grapevines arrive in early spring, and plant them immediately. Remove any broken or damage roots, and place in the soil at the depth they were grown in the nursery. Do not fertilize at this time. Vines should be a minimum of 8 feet apart both within and between rows. No fertilizer should be used on grape vines the first year. In subsequent years, the following amounts of 10-10-10 should be spread around the vines in early spring before growth begins: 2nd year — 2 ounces, 3rd years — 4 ounces, 4th years — 8 ounces, 5th years — 16 ounces. The four-arm Kniffin system is commonly recommended for pruning and training grapes in the home garden. A trellis is required using a wire at three feet and a parallel wire at six feet. Usually galvanized ware (size 9, 10, or 11) is attached to durable wood posts set up to 24 feet apart. Muscadine grapes, which may be grown in southeastern Virginia, have a significantly different pruning system. Call your local Extension agent for information on muscadine grapes. Establishing Vines Takes At Least Four Years In year one, remove all but the best single cane on each young vine at planting. Also remove all but the two uppermost buds on this remaining came. Tie this cane to the bottom trellis wire or to a stake to hold it erect. After several weeks, the buds should begin growth. Remove the weakest of the two new shoots when 10 inches long, as well as any other shoots on the trunk. Remove any flower clusters or side shoots as the single cane is growing. If this cane fails to reach the top wire, repeat these steps in, year two. During year two, in early spring tie the cane to the top wire and cut it off just above the wire. Leave four to six buds in the vicinity of each wire and remove the rest. As the new shoots begin to grow from the remaining buds, remove any flower clusters that form. In early spring of year three, while the vine is still dormant, select a total of eight canes (four for each wire) and remove the rest. One cane should be tied along each wire in each direction. These four “arms” will be allowed to fruit, but must be cut after the sixth bud along the arm. The remaining four canes should be cut back to a stub containing two buds. These short canes provide renewal canes for future years. With mature vines, remove the cane that fruited the previous year. Tie one of the two canes form the stub to the wire and cut after the 10th bud. Cut the remaining cane to two buds for next year’s stub and arm. The numbers of buds on each arm can be adjusted in subsequent years. Too many buds w'ill result in poor quality fruit and vegetative growth. Too few buds will reduce the crop. Select Fruiting Cane That Is Larger Than 1/4 Inch Fruiting canes selected during the dormant season should be dark brown and larger than .1/4 inch in diameter. Wrap each cane once around the wire and loosely tie. For the best control of insects and diseases, plant in a sunny location with good air drainage. Sprays may be needed to control black rot, mildew, grape berry moth, grape leafhopper, rose chafer, Japanese beetles, and grape cane girdler. Your local Extension service can identify problems and recommend treatments. Grapes should be harvested only after they are fully ripe. Unlike many other fruits, the grape does not improve in sugar content after it is picked. Often grapes have good size and color one week before the sugar content is sufficiently high. The quality of the grapes deteriorates rapidly after sugar content has peaked. Yield will depend on cultivar, climate, and vine vigor. In the third year vines can be expected to produce five to 10 pounds of fruit. Mature vines can produce up to 30 pounds in a good year.

Spring Spruce Up - Top To Bottom By ROBIN EARL Timr*-f>cinocra< Staff Writer Spring fever hits and lures homeowners outside. The garden and the lawn demand attention. Rut while homeowners are eagerly digging into the soil, they may suddenly look up at their house and wonder, “now, hww'did that happen?” They notice faded, peeling paint or sagging gutters, or maybe April showers bring to light a leak in the roof. Spring traditionally has been a time for home improvement projects. It’s lime for sprucing up, from top to bottom. Local contractors offer some recommendations for making a home look its best. Let’s take it from the lop. Once a home is 18-20 years old, homeowners should begin to think about putting on a new roof, said Harry llellin, a Goldvein roofer. A tell-tale sign, he said, is wrinkled shingles. “When the shingles don’t lie smooth, that’s the time to look more closely” llellin suggests calling in a professional to evaluate. Asking around for a reference is a good idea, he said. “If your neighbor had a new roof put on and he’s happy, that’s a good place to start. Word of mouth is my best advertisement." I le added that it might be wise to obtain a couple of estimates before deciding on a roofer. Ilellin said that there are many different types of roofs available. Function, appearance and price are factors homeowners need to consider when deciding on a roofing material. Shingle roofs are common on many residences, but lleflin said much of his work on farmhouses is in tin. Wood shingle or slate shingle roofs are more pricey, and copper is the most expensive roofing material, on the average. A roofing job can take anywhere from a day to two weeks (Tin roofs lake longer.) When evaluating the need for a new roof, homeowners should remember that if their roof is just leaking in one spot, they may only need a repair job, rather than an entirely new roof. For a complete home facelift, Cecil Hanger recommends new vinyl siding. Hanger is the owner of the 15-year-old Second Generation Home Improvement Co. in Warrenlon. lie said he has been around the home improvement business all his life. Owners can start thinking about new siding when they find the paint on their homes is fading, cracking or peeling, he said. “Siding will cost about as much as two or three paint jobs,” he said. Fach job he completes comes with a lifetime guarantee. Siding should be installed over new insulation, he asserted, and an average-sized home should take about a week to complete. Although vinyl siding has been used in Virginia for more than 20 years, said Hanger, choices today are more numerous than ever before. “There are more colors to choose from now,” said Hanger. “The (ierman Lap and Dutch Lap styles offer more design. They can really change the look of a house.” Second Generation also installs gutters, he said. “You don't need to get up on a ladder to see that gutters need replacing. You should be able to tell from the ground. When gutters start to rust through or look stained, it’s time to replace them. “Sometimes, 1 will replace a home’s gutters at very close to cost becaue it makes my siding job look so much better.” 1 le said the gutters are aluminum, in colors to match the house color. Hanger recommends that homeowners obtain at least three estimates before they chose a home improvement company. “It keeps everyone honest,” he said. lie also suggested that homeowners ensure that their siding intaller is licensed, bonded and insured, and can provide references. Replacing windows are another way to help a house look better this spring. Paul Henry of Paul Henry Window Installation Inc. said that homeowners should look for rotting wood and deteriorating glazing when evaluating their home’s windows. He said when the glass looks like it is peeling or cracking, that is a sign that the glazing is deteriorating. There is more to a replacement window than its looks, said Henry. Energy efficiency is a major consideration. He explained that wndows have what is called an R-value. The value tells the consumer how well the particular window filters out the elements. There is the Low-E window, that blocks 30 percent of ultraviolet rays. A coating on the inside of the glass does the job. A heat mirror 66 blocks 98 percent of ultraviolet rays, said Henry. An argon or crypton gas window uses a buffer of gas to insulate. “The insulator boosts the R rating,” said Henry. Henry uses all vinyl windows, which require no maintenance. Clients have a choice of three different colors, white, beige or brown. The window expert maintains that it is important to work with a good company that deals with a reputable manufacturer. Henry, who has been in the window business for 14 years, and in business for himself for 5, said that the windows he installs, for instance. On The Cover Pictured on the front of this House and Garden special edition is Ashland Farm, a beautiful and historic home in Fauquier County. The | lol/.clavv family acquired Ashland Farm in 1724 and lived there until the 1920s. A portion of the home dates to about 1725 and the main residence was completed by I889. It was remodelled and enlarged in 1929. Between 1861 and 1864, the Union Army stationed pickets at Ashland, as it was used as Federal medical dressing station. Legend claims that a Union Army payroll, is still buried there. The money was allegedly hidden by a paymaster who died in 1862 at nearby Waterloo. Times-Democrat File Photo Close attention to the exterior of a home can make a big difference in its appearance, as it did for this showcase home in Warrenton. come with a 30-year guarantee for the glass and a lifetime guarantee on the remainder of the window. And the guarantee is transferable. “You want to be sure that the company that makes your window is going to be around for awhile,” he added. Though some will say there is no substitute for the beauty of a wood deck, its beauty does come with a cost — maintenance. Wood decks do require special care. A new wrinkle in decks has surfaced.

Accept Wildlife Into Home Garden By PRISCILLA LISTER You may think bugs bring nothing but disaster to your garden. And you may wish those birds would stop munching on your berries all summer long. As for bats, oh no! Their fearsome presence can only mean havoc for your hairdo But think again. Many of these creatures have a valuable place in our ecosystem and can even be beneficial to the garden. “Imagine a garden brimming with a wide diversity of plants and flowers flourishing in rich, fertile soil - a colorful, blossoming and fruitful plot of land where various forms of wildlife come to visit. Picture a place where you, the naturalist/gardener, can find pleasure not only in the landscape but also in observing and providing for the wildlife that lives there. Think about the garden as a small community of plants and animals coexisting with one another and with human beings ... reflecting the ecology in miniature,” writes Ruth Shaw Ernst in “The Naturalist’s Garden: How to Garden With Plants That Attract Birds, Butterflies and Other Wildlife” (The Globe Pequot Press). While you may have been laboring for years over your lettuce and strawberry crops, did you also find pleasure in the occasional glimpse of a hummingbird or a butterfly or a charming chipmunk? All these creatures bring their own forms of beauty to a garden, and many are also downright helpful. “Believe it nor not, there are insects that are our friends,” writes Jerry Baker in “Fast, Easy Vegetable Garden” (Plume/Penguin). Many of them don’t eat plants but eat only other insects that do destroy plants. Baker’s list of good bugs includes ladybugs, praying mantis, ground beetles and spiders. Be kind to these guys. You might even buy some to bring home to your garden. And one of the most beneficial of all insects is the honeybee. Bees pollinate, and your garden needs this desperately. “Pollination must he carried out before fruit set will occur ...” writes Baker. “For the common vine crops such as cucumbers, squash, cantaloupe, watermelons and pumpkins, pollinating insects are essential.” And as for those birds, “It is an excellent idea to do things to attract birds,” says Baker, for many of them eat the bad bugs. “Feeders in the winter help, but cover your ripe fruit.” Here are some of the birds Baker says are beneficial as bug eaters: sparrow, scarlet tanager, gnatcatcher, barn swallow, warbler, bluebird, meadowlark and downy woodpecker. 1’rnst’s book is a perfect primer for gardening with the purpose of attracting more wildlife for mutual enjoyment. “Start by looking at what you already have in a new way,” she advises. “The oak that is a joy to behold in autumn ... bears acorns that are an excellent winter food for squirrels, blue jays, woodpeckers, game birds and many small mammals. The luminous red and white a/alea blossoms extend a welcome back’ in spring to nectar-seeking bees, butterflies and northward-migrating hummingbirds." The first thing to consider, she says, is to plant some trees that will grow tall Deciduous trees, which shed leaves in autumn, generally bear the most fruit, nuts and seeds that wildlife like, and offer shelter See Critters, Page 13 iVVE SELL and SERVICE £ >&/s> .• ,' ' t ' % •>< ’■'' ' ^ ' "// „ The Following Equipment I &&£<&* %$$$&%$$&& Gib Cadet.

Tame The Beauty Of Wildflowers By KAREN C. WILSON People often think of wildflowers as suited only to rolling meadows and spacious yards, as if they’ll thrive only in open expanses and not in small yards. Sure enough, when amateur gardeners try to plant them in poor soil in a shady corner of the garden — the “meadow in a can" fails to llourish. Misleading seed company advertising that suggests instant miracles is partly to blame: The truth is that wildflowers will grow in a small space. But they aren’t a quick solution to a problem spot. Even wildllowers need a nourishing environment to grow. La/.y gardeners who scatter the seeds to the wind and expect instant gratification are bound to be disappointed. Although shake-and-scatter wildllower mixtures have proliferated faster than weeds in a Bermuda lawn, sales have begun to slide in the last couple of years, perhaps an indication of consumers’ disappointment with unsuccessful results. . This slide followed a surge in popularity that saw demand for wildllowers double in live years. By the number of homeowners planting wild Powers had grow n to 4.X million, according to a survey by the National Gardening Association. t oday, the popular shake-and-scatter Sec Wild, Page 16 Whatever method is used for planting, wildflowers add a welcome splash of color to any yard.

Gardens That Have Gone To Pot Classic tera-cotta pots and planters are perfect for any patio or backyard garden. By PRISCILLA LISTER If you lack a large plot of land to accommodate your dream garden, do not despair. Container gardening, which dates back thousands of years, is the perfect solution for growing plants in small spaces, whether it's your deck, patio, balcony or even your kitchen window. liven if you have that large plot of land, you’ll find container gardening a wonderful technique for growing virtually anything from (lowers to shrubs to fruit trees to vegetables and herbs. Some gardeners todav even prefer such container gardening techniques as raised beds, which they say can produce a far more bountiful harvest than larger, standard rows of plants, with far less labor. "Whether indoors on shell, table, pedestal or windowsill, or outdoors on patio, deck, balcony or in a window box or hanging basket, containers bring viewing and maintenance conveniently close to the hand and the eye,” writes Ruth Shaw Ernst in “The Movable Garden” (Globe Pequot Press). “A happy solution for those who love growing things, container gardening takes less time, space and energy than a larger garden.” Soil Tips Most experts agree the single most Sec Container, Page IS The One-Stop Shop For Complete Home Decorating Service 703-937-5500 or 1-800-870-9098 ««« WE SPECIALIZE IN Floor Coverings carpets, vinyls, tile, hardwood, ceramic Window Treatments drapes, valances, louvers, blinds made in oar workroom Slip Covers and Re- Upholstery, Oriental Rugs Residential, Commercial “No job too small or too large” Route 645 Route 643 Waahington.VA ☆EARLY’S CARPET Route 211 Flashing Light Jf Route 229 WwrentarTx o Free Estimates & Delivery, Shop At Home Service Highway 211, one mile west of Post Office, Amissville, Virginia ‘ " ' ■» II. ■■■■!■■ ■ I ^.Larry’s Landscaping Larry Cresce i 703-937-6068 Landscape Design • Transplanting • Pruning Personalized Service *+ All Work Guaranteed Specializing in Natural Landscapes, Children’s Playgrounds and Gardens, Brick and Stone Walkways and Patios, Tie Retaining Walls Quality Landscaping Since 1985 We will be happy to supply references, our cuslomers are our best advertisement.

WaterEfficient Gardens Possible By NIKKI B. GODFREY With drought-prone stales legislating water conservation and environmentally minded folks in every region realizing how much we abuse Mother Nature, xeriscaping — the art of landscaping in a dry climate — may become the desired gardening method of the ‘lK)s. But maintaining a water-efllcient garden doesn’t have to mean cactus-filled sand beds and no lawns. Water-efficient gardening can be achieved with attention to such basics as soil type, plant type, use of mulch and shade, irrigation and by recycling rainwater. Obviously, the climate zone you reside in w ill direct much of how you design a garden to be most water efficient. But with a little planning, a garden in any climate zone can increase its water efficiency. first, know your soil. Sara Jane von Trapp, author of “ The Landscape Doctor” (Chapters), says, for example, clay is a good retainer of moisture, whereas water goes right through sandy soils, which is good for drainage but may require frequent watering unless plants are of the desert succulent variety. Soils can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of plants, but von Trapp recommends working with what you have, instead of facing the task of upgrading and maintaining the soil in an entire yard. When it comes to choosing water-efficient plants, consider native and droughtresistant varieties. However, von Trapp warns of varying definitions as to what constitutes a native plant. “Some slates are legislating the planting of only native vegetation, but this is born out of stupidity,” she says. “Plants that came from elsewhere and have thrived in a region for decades may not be considered native.” The best advice is to look at plants growing in your area'that are doing well, are Drought-tolerant plants like this pink-flowering Adenium obesum arc at home — and beautiful — in a water-efficient garden. healthy and don’t show signs of stress, such as yellowing, insect infestation and disease. “Talk to local certified nurserymen for solid, professional information on what plants and lawn grasses do well in your area," von frapp says. University land-grant colleges, the local Cooperative Extension Service and master gardening programs are also a good source of knowledgeable advice. The key to remember when choosing grass for the lawn is not to use high-fertility grasses that require lots of water. Again, seek advice from local professionals and consider using less-thirsty ground cover instead. Once the appropriate plants and vegetation are planted, don’t forget the mulch, a mandatory ingredient for a water-efficient See Xcriscapc, Page 17 L.l. FOLEY PLUMBING and HEATING, INC.

Household Hazards By R.J. IGNELZI Some of the most effective household products on the market, unfortunately, are some of the most risky to your health. According to the Environmental Health Coalition, prolonged or frequent exposure to certain pesticides or solvents may increase your chance of developing cancer, leukemia, respiratory illness and diseases that affect major organs. The best thing you can do is minimi your exposure by switching to safer substitutes. If no substitute is available, then be a prudent purchaser. Buy only as much as you need and fully protect yourself when you use the product by wearing gloves, masks, goggles and other safety equipment. The coalition advises using the following safe substitutes as alternatives: FOR THE HOUSE • Instead of aerosol sprays, choose iionaerosol containers,, such as pump sprays, roll-ons or squeeze-type bottles. • Instead of all-purpose cleaners, mix one quart warm water with one teaspoon of borax or liquid soap. Add a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar. • Instead of air fresheners, open windows and doors and use fans to ventilate. Place a box of baking soda in closets and the refrigerator.

► Critters From Page 4 and nesting sites. Evergreens, by contrast, olTer year-round shelter and food in the form of berries and seed-filled cones. “Trees are the lords of the plant community,” says Ernst. They demand space, lots of water, fertilizing every four or five years and, in return, they draw carbon dioxide from the air as they release oxygen, offer shade and give food and shelter to birds, insects and many other creatures. Shrubs are of equal importance and, with trees, form the cornerstone of a naturalist’s garden, says Ernst. Shrubs, like trees, also provide cover, nesting sites and food for many birds and other creatures. “Be sure to plant some llowering deciduous shrubs like lilac, mock orange and quince, which have nectar and pollen that appeal to a host of winged visitors,” says Ernst. Good shrubs for the naturalist’s garden include the azalea to attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds; the blackberry and elderberry; and the beautiful rhododendron for hummingbirds and butterflies. “Flowers are an essential part of the naturalist’s garden,” she adds. They attract those pollinating bees and hummingbirds, and many are perfect foils as insect-repellents when planted among your vegetable crops. “Perennials are particularly well displayed against a background of dark-green evergreens such as yews, forming a low hedge; a wooden fence or brick or stone wall on which berry-bearing vines can clamber; or a mixture of flowering shrubs such as lorsythia. mock orange and lilac,” writes Ernst. Such a background will attract many birds and other creatures seeking cover and food. Annuals, which unlike perennials, bloom and die all in one season. “Interspersed between vegetables, annuals serve as a natural barrier to the spread of diseases in certain crops. Others are natural repellents to insect pests that usually attack target vegetables,” says Kmst. Some insect-repellent annual (lowers include the geranium, marigold and nasturtium. Don’t overlook the potential to add a waterscape to your garden. Consider a small pond, perhaps even made of a fiberglass or galvanized aluminum tub about 20 inches deep and two feet in diameter, which can be used to grow waterlilies and lotuses and will attract birds, butterflies and other creatures. “Naturally some backyard wildlife will become interested in this source of water,” including opposums or skunks. Don’t despair; delight in their visits, she says. If larger animals are a problem — such as deer or woodchucks — the best solution is to fence them out, Kmst says. But there are other, more “natural” alternative methods, such as placing mothballs around the garden to ward off raccoons, skunks and mice, or even bags of human hair placed two feel above ground at regular intervals to protect sweet potatoes, melons and cowpeas from deer. How about a bat house? Who would want a bat house in the back yard? Anyone who hates mosquitoes. That single bat can consume several thousand mosquitoes and other bugs in one night.

Minimize Garden Pests Naturally By C.Z. GUEST Diseases, insects and weeds are the major problems found in the home vegetable garden. Insects are part of any garden; many are beneficial. It is important to distinguish the beneficial insects from the destructive ones. Diseases may or may not be a problem in the garden, depending on weather, variety or cultural practices. Plants weakened by drought, starvation, competition and mechanical or insect damage are more susceptible to infection by disease-causing agents. It is important to prevent disease because infected plants seldom are brought back to good, healthy, productive growth. Weeds compete with garden plants for moisture and nutrients and also may serve as alternate hosts for insect and disease problems. The use of mulch will suppress weed growth and conserve moisture. There are a number of ways to reduce pests in the garden. • Sanitation: Maintain a “cleanliness” program in the garden. Remove and destroy all badly diseased plants, trash, weeds and dying plant parts. Many insects overwinter in weeds and debris. Spade them under as soon as harvest is completed. Incorporate compost. Look under mulch material regularly for a buildup of slugs, snails and millipedes. Check transplants before buying or planting. Do not use infected plants. Rototill garden debris in the fall and again in spring. • Rotation: Do not grow the same crop in the same patch over consecutive seasons. This helps to reduce the buildup of soil insects and soilbome diseases. • Resistance: Select healthy, vigorous plants that are insect- and disease-resistant and adapted to growing in your area. • Cultural: Healthy, vigorous plants can tolerate some pest damage. Therefore, provide the best possible growing conditions: pH 6.5, well-drained fertile soil, full sun, one inch of water per week and mulch, mulch, mulch! • Physical barriers: Use collars — 4inch, upright cylinders of roofing paper, plastic or metal inserted two inches below Cleaning out debris and weeds is one of the best ways to keep a garden free of harmful insects all through the growing season. the soil surface — to prevent insects, such as cutworms, from reaching and damaging stems of plants. Commercial spun-bonded row covers or cheesecloth can be used to exclude cabbage maggots and onion maggots, leaf miners, aphids, beetles and squash vine borers. • Traps and lures: Traps may attract insects by visual or chemical cues. Visual traps such as yellow, sticky boards are generally used to monitor insect populations. • Management: Good cultural practices will help to reduce or prevent many pest problems in the garden. However, when a control treatment is warranted, choose the least-toxic material, such as a biological agent. Many biological agents are available commercially, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.), a bacterium that attacks caterpillars. Preserve naturally occurring beneficial insects by using selective controls where possible and by avoiding unnecessary use of pesticides. Chemical control should never be used as a supplement to the methods described above, and certainly not as a first line of defense. Accurate identification of the pest is ' necessary belore deciding what to use. And when you do spray, please, no chemicals! Shop early for best selection!

► Wild From Page 5 wildflower mixtures are facing stiff competition from new products, especially preseeded wildflower carpets. Gardeners can simply roll out these mulch mats over prepared sites, water the seeds and wait for them to grow. Wildflowers are among the most versatile plants available to the home gardener, and homeowners discouraged by previous failures are missing out. Wherever they’re planted, wildflowers add a tumultuous beauty to their surroundings, especially in awkward spaces where a more formal-design might look contrived. As with any garden project — planting a wildflower meadow or creating a perennial border — the key to success lies in the planning. When shake-and-scatter plantings fail, the reason usually is the gardeners’ failure to prepare the site properly. Wildflower seed mixtures aren’t magical, even though many people would like to believe they are. Some seeds are easier to grow than others, but all need proper preparation. By following a few basic rules, your chances of success are increased enormously. But failure to follow these steps is almost certain to doom a project. TEST RESULTS How well do these pre-blended wildflower mixes actually work? Perhaps the best way to find out is to plant them and see what comes up. 1 decided to do just that. My idea was to compare a traditional shake-and-scatter mix with one of. the pre-seeded wildflower carpets. 1 chose the Country Wildflower Bucket, a shake-and-scatter mixture from Clyde Robins Seed Co., and a pre-seeded organic flower mat from Proseed Inc. Here’s how these two products stacked up: • Germination: The pre-seeded carpet had a surprisingly high rate of germination, with 16 of the promised varieties making an appearance. The only no-show was the California poppy, which came as no surprise given the late planting date. In fact, because all kinds of poppies need to be planted in early fall if they’re to bloom in the spring, I was amazed when a red Shirley poppy reared its head. On the contrary, the shake-and-scatter mix had a disappointingly low rate of germination. Only four of the 25 alleged varieties came up — and one of those wasn’t even listed on the package. In both cases, the speed of germination was good, with seeds sprouting within four f weeks. • Appearance: In this category, both products fared well. Both produced two flushes of blooms, one in the spring and one in the summer. Flowers in the pink-throughpurple range dominated the spring flush; yellow and orange blooms characterized the summer blooms. As far as visual interest, the pre-seeded carpet offered a wider range of flowers than did the shake-and-scatter mix which, during both bloom cycles, was dominated by one or two varieties. Even so, these dominant varieties were striking, definitely making a statement in the urban landscape. On the other hand, several of the varieties in the pre-seeded carpet were so delicate that their impact was lost among the larger flowers. • Maintenance: Wildflowers are valued for their easy maintenance, and both plantings lived up to their reputations. Once established, the plants received minimal irrigation and little tending, and neither appeared the worse for it. Once the second flush of blooms petered Tips On Planting Wildflowers By KAREN C. WILSON If you’re planning to grow your own urban meadow, here are some tips to get it off to a successful start: • Decide what your goal is. Do you want a meadow full of exuberant color or a monochromatic border? Annuals, perennials or both? Spring bloom or year-round color? • Select a sunny location; most kinds of wildflowers need a site in full sun to thrive. See Tips, Page 17 out, though, there was a noticeable difference in the rate of decline in each plot’s appearance: The pre-seeded mat continued to put out enough blooms to look, it not good, at least acceptable. But the shake-andscatter-mix was a sea of tall, dead flower stalks supporting shriveled blooms. The only recourse was to yank the plants out of the ground. Conversely, the carpet continues to bloom, albeit sporadically, even now. • Consumer friendliest: The shake-andscatter mix rated a minus in the consumerfriendly category. Not only did the company arbitrarily substitute a 25-variety mixture for the originally ordered 17-variety blend, but it supplied skimpy planting and maintenance directions. The pre-seeded carpet rated an A-plus. It didn’t just live up to its expectations, it exceeded them by leaps and bounds. Described as a pre-seeded mulch mat containing 18 varieties of wildflowers that would bloom from spring through fall in any part of the country,, it was exactly that. Flower varieties were consistent with the company’s advertising. The company also provided a detailed instruction booklet with clear information detailing how to prepare the planting site and install and maintain the product. It also listed possible causes of poor results. The only dark note was the somewhat misleading picture in one of the magazine ads, which included several purple lisianthus, a variety that wasn’t in the mix. Despite the slight problems with the tested products, however, both performed well. 1 suspect that a great part of that was due to careful and tedious preparation of the planting site beforehand.

► Xeriscape From Page 7 garden. Not only does mulch placed around vegetation reduce water evaporation, it also guards against cold-weather damage and helps prevent weeds from setting down roots. Von Trapp advises against using a black plastic lining under mulch. Instead, she recommends using 2 to 3 inches of bark mulch that lets water slowly drain down to the plants. Shade is also a friend of water conservation and should be incorporated into landscape planning wherever possible. Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “Shade is the Elysium of a hot-climate garden.” In “The Garden Problem Solvers” (Simon & Schuster), author Catriona Tudor frier suggests utilizing the natural shade provided by broad spreading trees, or building a lath-covered structure made of slats that allows enough light to grow (lowering shade plants while keeping patio space and lattice walkways cool. Irrigation has become perhaps the most important consideration in these times of environmental consciousness and water conservation. Sprinkler heads and hoses that waste fully water pavements and only part of the thirsty ground are frowned upon. This has meant good business for manufacturers and suppliers of drip and trickle systems, by lar the favorite of most landscape professionals. ■ It is said that on average people overwaler by almost 50 percent, but a good drip irrigation system can cut water usage by as much, if not more. Drip and trickle systems use flexible plastic piping and drippers that can be hidden beneath flower beds, under shrubs and even run through planters and window boxes. The drippers allow for the slow' and efficient delivery of water directly to a plant’s roots, precisely where it’s needed. DIG Corp., the forerunner in drip irrigation, points out that drip systems expend just one gallon of water an hour, instead of the gallon-per-minute ratio of water-wasting sprinklers and hoses, making drip cost effective as well as water efficient. Retaining and recycling natural irrigation is, obviously, the most cost effective way to water, provided free from Mother Nature. Von frapp still recommends an oldfashioned rain barrel situated to catch rainfall and runoff from gutters and eaves. Existing water resources available on your property can also help a water-efficient garden. Von Trapp says, “Indicator plants tell a story of underground aquifers’’ that can be your best natural water resource by guiding your plans as to what and where to plant. Depending on the area in which you live, some drought-tolerant plants include: eucalyptus, jacaranda, oleander, poinsettia, pomegranate, sumac, yew, grape, wisteria, aloe. Top Tools The righl tools make gardening chores, easier. Basic tools include a spade, spading fork, round-point shovel, trowel, hand cultivator, pruning shears, garden rake and lawn rake. ► Tips From Page 16 • Reduce competition by removing all existing vegetation and weeds. To remove weeds, till the soil lightly to expose weed seeds in the upper layer of the soil surface; allow these to germinate, then remove either by hand (if you have the patience) or with a herbicide such as Roundup (glyphosate) that allows you to replant the area within a couple of weeks. Do not till the area again, or you’ll have to start the weed-removal process all over. • Choose the right seeds. If opting for a pre-mixed blend of wildflower seeds, make sure they are suitable for growing in your area. Seed mixtures geared to specific parts of the United Slates are widely available these days; if choosing an “all-climate” seed blend, check the list of ingredients to make sure it’s appropriate. • To plant, rake the soil lightly, then scatter the seeds evenly over the soil surface. The best way is to mix the seed with sand or commeal, then sprinkle it in a straight line, first from north to south, and then from east to west. The goal is to obtain as uniform a coverage as possible. Rake the seeds in lightly, making sure not to cover them too deeply. Water in. • Keep the site moist for the first 10 days to two weeks, until seeds germinate, then water about once a week until plants become established. Once established, most wildtlowers require little water. • Whether you fertilize is up to you. Most experts recommend not fertilizing, since this tends to produce foliage growth at the expense of flowers. However, some people find that a light feeding with a balanced fertilizer once during the growing season helps promote better blooms. • Once your wildtlowers have ceased blooming, usually in the fall, either yank them out or mow plants to a height of 3 to 4 inches (this helps distribute the seeds of reseeding annual plants for an encore the following spring). Small-Space Gardens Ideal For Beginners Container gardens are ideal for novice green thumbs or where space is limited. Here are some tips from the Professional Plant Growers Association for growing plants in pots: • Plant annuals closer than the recom mended garden spacing for a fuller look. • Check watering needs daily N containers dry out faster than garden beds. • A layer of mulch on top of the soil helps plants retain moisture. • Rotate containers for even growth.

ONE MILE SOUTH OF WARRENTON 347-1991 1-800-248-3301 ► Container From Page 6 important element in container gardening is good soil. “Good potting soil is of vital importance to plants in containers, even more so than to garden plants, because they must survive and be healthy and happy in confined spaces under conditions of light, air circulation, moisture and heat that are often far from ideal and different from those prevailing in their native habitats,” says Ernst. Buy packaged, sterile potting soil and look for soils that include added lighleners, to keep the soil from becoming too dense and impervious to water. “Perlite is usually preferred for pot culture,” says Ernst, though vermiculite is also good; both absorb and retain moisture while they also aerate the soil for better air circulation. Container Choices Just about anything can be used to grow plants, as long as it has one or more holes in the bottom for drainage. Drill them if your choice doesn’t have those holes. The choices for container gardening are myriad: clay pots, plastic pots, metal pots, wooden pots, ceramic pots, concrete tubs, wire-mesh baskets, buckets, old claw-foot bathtubs — you name it. Plastic pots are often preferred because they can withstand extreme temperature changes and don’t break in extreme weather, says Jim Van Sweden, landscape architect of Oehme, Van Sweden & Associates in Washington, D.C., who has just designed an extensive container garden for Oprah Winfrey at her Indiana home, as well as the hanging gardens at National Airport in the nation’s capital. Concrete is another good material for its resistance to extreme temperatures. Plastic pots are also less expensive than most other choices, says Lynn R. Batdorf, horticulturist at the U.S. National Arboretum in Washington, D.C., and they come in virtually every size, including 100 gallons, he says in Arbor Friends, the newsletter for supporters of the National Arboretum. Such large containers can be used to create entire miniature gardens, showcasing a variety of plants. Clay pots are still the primary choice for many gardeners because the material is porous. “It lets moisture in and out, which helps roots breathe," says Ernst. They are also less likely to be knocked over or blown over by strong winds. Wood pots are also porous. “I am inclined to use plastic for small plants and for certain tropicals that require a constant, even supply of moisture,” says Ernst. “1 use clay for most other plants, including the largest ones.” If you want to use an antique copper kettle or glazed ceramic jardiniere that doesn’t have drainage holes, place a plastic or clay pot inside it for drainage purposes. Whatever kind of pot you choose, Batdorf recommends raising it up on “feet,” — you can buy wooden bases with caster feet at most garden supply stores — on gravel or wood, to help with drainage as well as air circulation. Some experts also believe that pots set directly on concrete patios, for example, tend to soak up loo much heat from the concrete or other hard surface. Good Plant Choices For indoor decoration, treelike plants can he set in living room comers, against a wall, in a foyer or can even be used as room dividers in a living-dining area. “The ficus family is excellent for this purpose, in particular the weeping fig, fiddle-leaf fig and the rubber plant,” says Ernst. Other choices for relatively low-tomedium light conditions, as is typical indoors, include philodendrons, dieffenbachia, some palms and Chinese evergreen. For that indoor pedestal or plant stand, choose Boston or Dallas ferns, grapy ivy, Chinese evergreen, spider plant or asparagus fern, recommends Ernst. “The” jungle cactuses —- the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easier cactus — are spectacular when in bloom. “All of these plants are highly suitable for hanging baskets as well,” she adds. Flowering bulbs are outstanding plants for container gardening outdoors, since most need more sun. These include such blooming beauties as amaryllis, freesia, lilies, daffodils and tulips. Whether dangling from a post, a roof overhang or even a tree, hanging baskets can offer profusions of flowers, in mixed bouquets or in single specimens. Annuals, such as petunias, impatiens, ivy geraniums, tuberous begonias, fuchsias, sweet alyssum and lobelia make outstanding blooms in hanging baskets. Pick the appropriate plant according to the light conditions where you will hang the basket. Whatever container you choose, experiment often w ith the endless variety of plants available to find the ones that do well in your small space, and you’ll find your green thumb full of rewards.
