Jenkins ♦V Kevin E. Summers By SHARON KILPATRICK | - Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer . Sheriff Jotyt ^lenry Woodward is looking for a few not so good men and women. To make the Sheriffs “most wanted” list some violated the terms of their parole, others have eluded arrest. In general they do not make up a list of hardened criminals. Their crimes are breaking and entering, grand larceny, and writing bad checks. > - Donald Paul Estep, 24, was charged with breaking and entering and grand larceny as the result of a theft from the Amissville Methodist Church in November, 1987. A 19inch TV and an RCA video recorder were taken. Their value was over $200, so the charge was grand larceny. Mr. Estep was charged after he sold the stolen items to a Manassas pawn broker. On May 14, 1990 he pled guilty. In August he was sentenced to six years on the breaking and entering charge and five years for grand larceny, but Judge Shore Robertson suspended the sentence and assigned him two years of supervised probation. He was to remain drug and alcohol free, submit to random drug testing, participate in counseling, and pay costs of $184, restitution of $80, and attorney’s fees. In December 1992 a letter in* his file indicates he had made two $25 payments and then had failed See Wanted, Page A-8 Old Rag Bulletins Land Use The Commissioner of Revenue’s Office will accept applications for land use taxation through Nov. 1.

Republicans Adopt Contract With Voters By SHERRY JONES Capital News Service More than 100 Republicans signed the Contract With Virginia Wednesday at the Capitol. Within an hour of the signing, Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer Jr. called a press conference to rebut the vagueness of the document. Sen. Walter A. Stosch, R-Henrico, said Republicans adopted this written pledge as a measure of accountability to Virginians. “While candidates have long run on their individual agendas,” Sen. Stosch said, “and while parties often adopt platforms, never to our knowledge has either of the two major political parties’ slate of candidates for the Virginia General Assembly offered a written pledge of what they will do collectively.” As of Wednesday, Sen. Stosch said 112 Republican candidates had indicated support for the contract, which See Contract, Page A-7 Sperryville To Host Yearly Apple Festival John Jackson will be singing the blues at Country Home Antiques Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. asppart of Sperry ville’s Apple Harvest Festival.

Altered Woolen Mill Plan Wins Commission Approval Public Forums Proposed for Firehalls By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Planning Commission granted approval to three applicants last Wednesday, but only after Melvin K. Helmick withdrew his request to operate an auction house in the first floor of the old woolen mill at Laurel Mills. His application still is for multi-family housing, in four apartments, on the second floor. Mr. Helmick had requested a combination of apartments on the second floor and commercial use on the first floor. He said he had two choices for what to do with the old building, which he said, is actually the fourth mill to be in that location. He could tear it down and he would have about 30,000 old bricks to sell, or he could fix it up. He said because the first floor is subject to Hooding he would not want to have anything permanently stored there, but he was interested in using it for antique auctions, perhaps once a month, perhaps only six times a year. A group of Laurel Mills residents was present to oppose the auction house, but they generally did not oppose the apartments, so Mr. Helmick said he would drop that part of the application and reapply after he had worked out a use for the first floor that met with the approval of the neighbors. Laurel Mills residents said there was no room for parking for the numbers of people who would come for an auction without parking along the road. They said traffic generally travels at a high rate of speed on the road. Mr. Helmick said he had asked VDOT to lower the speed limit to 45 miles per hour. Mr. Helmick noted that mills by their very nature are located in flood plains, but he said the foundation of this mill had survived through four different mills in the location. The woolen mill was built in 1 890, but the wall facing the l aurel Mills Store dates to the mill prior to that one, he said. At one time there were two mills side by side using the same wheel, one a saw mill and one a grist mill. He said in the 1930s the Japanese See Planners, Page A-8 Dispute Among Neighbors Leads to Brandishing Charge By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Last Friday in Rappahannock County Circuit Court, a jury of ten men anthtwo women found Howard Clayton lopes, 43, of Flint Hill, guilty of brandishing a Firearm. THe,jur$' deliberated for nearly three hours after hearing testimony all day. Besides the misdemeanor brandishing charge, Mr. Jones was on trial for two felonies for which he was found not guilty: malicious wounding and attempting to use a firearm or display such a weapon in a threatening manner, while committing or attempting to commit malicious wounding. The jury decided not to give Mr. Jones any jail time, but they fined him $1,000 and he must pay court costs. The cost of the jury, however, is borne by the Commonwealth. In his opening statement to the jury. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke explained that the crimes Mr. Jones was charged with occurred on Fodderstack Road in Flint Hill on May 18. He said that on May 17 and 18 Mr. Jones called the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office and complained that people were driving by his house and blowing their horns. Mr. Luke said that Mr. Jones got into an argument with Gary Jordan, a neighbor, and that he struck Mr. Jordan in the back of the head and his stomach with the butt of a gun, an SKS Type 53 semi-automatic rifle, and that Mr. Jones made a threat that he would kill him the next time. Mr. Jones’s attorney, Doug Baumgardner, said that his client is a man who sometimes uses harsh words. He said that Mr. Jones would prove that he had been having problems with Gary Jordan for a while and that his client had been registering complaints with the Sheriffs Office about the blowing of horns and spinning of gravel in his driveway. He said that when his client went to Mr. Jordan's house he took a weapon but that it was not loaded. "He wanted to send a message to this man that enough was enough,” said Mr. Baumgardner. During the struggle between Mr. Jones and Mr. Jordan, said Mr. Baumgardner, Mr. Jordan grabbed the weapon and the gun hit him on the side of the head. Mr. Luke played some tapes of recorded conversations between Mr. Jones and the dispatcher at the Sheriffs Office. (All calls made to the Sheriff’s Office are routinely recorded.) In a call made by Mr. Jones on May 17, complaining about Mr. Jordan, he said, “Just tell them See Jones, Page A-3 A Dress for Rappahannock Rappahannock News StafT Photo by Cindy Mahan Merrill Strange models a cow dress at the American Cancer Society’s fashion show at the Blue Rock Inn last Thursday.

Probation Violation Leads to Jail Sentence By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Timothy Duane Reid, 32, of Stafford, found out that it’s not a good idea to violate the terms of probation. Last Thursday, Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson told Mr. Reid that he would have to serve the original five-year sentence that he was given over a year ago. Mr. Reid had been found guilty of possession of PCP and Cocaine. In lieu of serving a five-year sentence, Mr. Reid applied to be accepted into the CDI program, which is a form of probation and community service. He was accepted into that program in June, 1994. Last April, Catherine M. Heritage, Executive Director of the Fauquier/Rappahannock Division of the CDI program, which is now known as the Middle Virginia Court Services Program, Inc., notified the court that Mr. Reid had not only missed several scheduled appointments with her, but had tested positive for marijuana use twice, last February and March. Mr. Reid’s attorney, public defender Roy Bradley, argued that his client had completed his community service hours and that he was compliant with the CDI program up to the time of the urinalyses which showed he tested positive for marijuana use. Mr. Reid admitted that he had a relapse of drug usage, and that he goes to AA meetings off and on. “I have no excuse. I have been under a lot of pressure and slipped up,” he said. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said, “This is unfortunately an all too common occurrence.” Judge Robertson agreed, and sentenced Mr. Reid to serve his original five-year sentence and to pay court costs. He told Mr. Reid, “You did not follow your contract (with CDI) so you will have to serve your time.” Assault, Trespass Charged Susan Eaton Warren, 48, of Sperryville, was arrested on Sept. 19 for assaulting Mary Atkins of Sperryville. She allegedly struck Mrs. Atkins in the face at the Atkins’ roadside stand on U.S. 211. Ms. Warren was charged with trespassing on the same property on Sept. 21. Don W. McCarty, 37, of Gid Brown Hollow in Washington, was charged and arrested for threatening to commit violence against Valerie Vrettos of Washington.

Children Learn To Handle Chickens : By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newj Staff Writer Last Thursday first and second graders from Wakefield Country Day School visited Jordan River Farm. It was part of the educational program at the farm owned by Miriam Hams and Corey Koral, and it was Scheduled to coincide with the Humane Society of the United States s Farm Animal Awareness Week. Officials from HSUS were on hand to emphasize the importance of good care of farm animals. Literature for Farm Animal Awareness Week stresses educating consumers to shop for meat that has been humanely raised on organic farms like Jordan River and making children sensitive to the nature of farm animals. The children took turns learning how to pick up chickens, gather eggs, milk a cow and bottle feed a calf. C Mr. Koral provides several courses at Jordan River Farm as part of the farm’s educational programs. The WCDS tour was a variation of the Basic Homesteading Skills course. Mr, Koral said that the educational programs are growing. Classes come from both public and private schools. The programs are adapted to fit the age level of the children. Mr. Koral also teaches courses in navigation and model rocketry. The navigation class includes learning how to follow directions and make maps. He said he has found this class unsuited to children younger than eight because they have a hard time _T „ ... .

All the courses are planned to last most of a day, but Mr. Kora! is flexible and courses can be varied to suit teachers' schedules. For many WCDS second graders this was their second visit to the farm and they wanted to know if they would get to do the same things they had last year as first graders. At first only a few children strode boldly into the fenced area where the hens scratched about. Others were content to poke greens through the fence for the hens to eat. However, each child had a turn in the chicken yard. Most tried to pick up a hen, and eventually most succeeded. Then each child had a chance to go into the hen house and gather an egg. Following a lunch break they had a hayride tour of the farm and visited cows. They had a chance to milk a cow and bottle-feed her calf. y Jones . From Page A-1 that something, damn it, is going to happen.” In a call made to the dispatcher by Mr. Jones on May 18, he said, “Next time I make a phone call, •so help me God, you are going to call the hearse.” -Responding to Mr. Jones’s complaint, Deputy Compton visited Mr. Jordan’s house on May 18. She said there were five other people there and she told them all to stay away from Mr. Jones’s house. They informed her, she said, that Mr. Jones was upset because he was no longer allowed to be around them any more. In a later call to the dispatcher at the Sheriffs Office on May 18, Mr. Jones said that when he drove with his wife and daughter past Mr. Jordan’s house to the store, someone sitting out on the porch gave him the finger. He told the dispatcher, “I whipped somebody’s ass with a gun so I’ll take the punches.” Mr. Jones complained to the dispatcher that “If you all would do your job to start with...this wouldn’t happen.” The dispatcher asked if Mr. Jones wanted Deputy Compton to come down, and he told her “You just le|l her he politely got his ass whipped and I am not going anywhere; I’m not running.” When Deputy Compton arrived at Mr. Jordan’s house, she said that he had a gash to the back of the head and was bleeding. She then went to the office of the magistrate and obtained two warrants against Mr. Jones and called him to come in to the office, which he did. Mr. Jordan testified that Mr. Jones came to his house with his rifle and struck him in the head and then in the stomach when he was down on the ground. Mr. Baumgardner argued that in the preliminary hearing for this case Mr. Jordan said that he had a hard time remembering what had really happened. Lori Rooker, a friend of Mr. Jordan's, testified that she saw Mr. Jones hit Mr. Jordan with the gun. She tried to hit Mr. Jones with a rake but missed. She said that she heard Mr. Jones say he would kill Mr. Jordan the next time; the next three witnesses, Woodrow Nicholson, Tina Lucas, and Jennifer Mowry, also testified that they heard Mr. Jones threaten Mr. Jordan. Miss Lucas also testified that on July 4 Mr. Jones approached her and told her that if she would go to Peter Luke and change her testimony (she had testified at the preliminary hearing), that he would make it worth her while. Mr. Jones’s wife, Peggy Jones, told the jury that she and her husband had helped out Mr. Jordan many times, including giving him a load of wood when he needed it. She said that they would hear a lot of noise and cussing coming from Mr. Jordan’s house. Nancy Jones, Mr. Jones’s mother who lives next door to Mr. Jordan, testified that she saw Mr. Jordan hit her son in the side of the face. When Mr. Jones took the stand, he said that Mr. Jordan is like a son to him. “1 loved him and I still love him,” he said. He told the jury that at the Jordan house there was drinking, cussing, and peeing in front of his daughter. He said, “I made complaints to the Sheriffs Office, they got wind of it and the harassment has been going on every since.” On May 18, said Mr. Jones, he was upset because of the car coming by and blowing the horn. During a trip to the store, he said, people on Mr. Jordan’s porch gave him the finger and Mr. Jordan told him “Hey come back here you m-fMr. Jones said he took his gun with him to the house because there had been numerous beatings and assaults at the house. He said that Mr. Jordan hit him in the jaw, in selfdefense he kicked Jordan in the stomach, and that part of the gun caught Mr. Jordan behind the ear. Mr. Jones claimed that Mr. Jordan struck the first and last blows, trying to hit him when he got back into his car. During closing arguments, Mr. Luke informed the jury that they could take the tapes into the jury room, and that he felt they were the single most important evidence in the case because “You can hear what happened as it unfolded.” Mr. Luke told the jurors that it didn’t matter whether the gun was loaded or not, and that if he was holding the gun as to reasonably induce fear then he was guilty of brandishing. There is something missing in the puzzle of this case, said Mr. Luke. “The defendant says Gary Jordan is like a son to him yet he goes to his house with a gun. Somewhere something happened. The Commonwealth believes the factor was bad blood.” Mr. Luke said he did not believe this was a self-defense case. Mr. Baumgardner told the jurors that they should ask themselves whether the words of his client were the words of a killer ©r if they were the words of a frustrated man who was fed up with being harassed. “I suggest to you that it is reasonable in this case that Gary Jordan was the aggressor.” He reminded them that Mr. Jordan was drunk the day of the incident and had admitted that he could not remember everything that happened. “These were not the actions of a guilty man. These were the actions of a frustrated man” he said. SAVE Get our best STiHL Deal of the Year Now!

Twenty-seven, comments were received. Of those commenting 17 people favored use limits, three opposed any limitations whatsoever on use of the park, and five made other suggestions. A free permit will be required to hike Old Rag from the trailhead in Weakley Hollow on the four weekends in October starting Saturday, Oct. 7 and including the Columbus Day Holiday on Monday, Oct. 9. Permits will not be needed on weekdays. Permits will be issued on a firstcome, first-served basis at the temporary parking lot along Route 600 near Nethers. When the lot fills, no more permits will be issued and no more hikers will be admitted. Hikers will have to walk the .8 mile to the ridge trailhead, where rangers will give a brief wilderness orientation and check permits. Travelers who arrive after the parking lot fills will be directed to other places to visit in the park or in nearby areas. Old Rag, with its 7.2 mile circuit trail and rock scramble, is one of the most popular destinations in the park. On weekends and holidays, overcrowding results in hikers waiting in line to get through some parts of the rock scramble. Vegetation at the summit gets trampled. The small parking lot at the head of the ridge trail fills early, resulting in illegal parking along Route 600 and adverse impacts to landowners along that route. The Madison County Board of Supervisors has requested that VDOT, the Virginia State Police and the Madison County Sheriffs Office implement and enforce parking restrictions along Route 600. The permit system is an interim response to the problems, pending completion of a plan to provide a permanent parking area and/or a permanent system of use limits for Old Rag. The park is working on alternatives for a parking area and plans to prepare an Environmental Assessment on these alternatives during the 1996 fiscal year.

Melvin K. Helmick bought the old Laurel Mills Woolen Mill with the idea of doing something with it. It is a tumbling ruin, but the old brick walls show that was once a significant enterprise. Laurel Mills is not one of the villages slated in the Comprehensive Plan for growth, but the Zoning Ordinance does provide for special exceptions to be granted for “adaptive reuse” of old su ueiuies. Mr. Helmick planned to rebuild the mill and rent out apartments on the second floor. The first floor is subject to floods, even more than in its heyday, because roads that have been rebuilt since the business closed tend to dam up the Thomton River in floods. Mr. Helmick decided not to try to put anything permanently in the first floor, but to use it once a month for antique auctions. The reaction of residents of the Laurel Mills community was to circulate a petition opposing any commercial use of the building. They warned of potential traffic tie ups on a road where traffic does not slow down. They complained in advance about noise. They brought up one significant issue. When an auction is being held, where will cars park? Of course estate auctions are held regularly in the county, and cars simply park along the roadside, but that would not do as a plan for a commercial enterprise. Perhaps the parking problem can not be solved, but it seems worthwhile to make the effort. Rappahannock County has several old mills. Most are wooden structures which cannot take much more flooding. They serve as reminders of the days when our ancestors, living without electricity, took advantage of the energy in falling waters to grind grain, saw logs, and even weave wool into cloth. It will be a tragedy if all these structures are lost. A piece of our heritage will be gone forever. And these buildings cannot be saved unless their owners have some hope of recovering the significant costs of restoring them. What would be the harm to the Laurel Mills of monthly auctions? Auction goers would probably flock to the country store. Those disappointed in not being able to purchase something they wanted at the auction might find something they want as much in the antique shop below the store. Perhaps if truly fine antiques find their way to these auctions, bidders might plan an overnight stay in the nearby bed and breakfast. The instinctive rejection of every proposed change to Rappahannock County seems ultimately self defeating. Fugitives How refreshing it is to ask for information on the county’s most wanted fugitives and come up with list like the Rappahannock News published this week. Others may contend with murderers, rapists and armed robbers. For the most part Rappahannock does not. These crimes are not unknown in the county, but they are rare, and most of the crime in Rappahannock, at least that part of the crime picture represented by the “Most Wanted” list, involves burglary, writing bad checks and failure to comply with the terms of probation. I Letters Wit Computers Out of Date To the Editor: In visiting my daughter’s kindergarten classroom during this year’s Rappahannock County Book Day, I found not one, but two, computers for the children to use. However, I was dismayed that they were* two “old clunkers’ that you’d be hard pressed to get a couple of bucks for at a yard sale. This seems to be the case with many of the other computers within the county’s school system. The high school library is an example. Many of the computers there are antiquated. The recent furor over Windows 95 would hardly be worth discussing there since most of the PC’s in the library will not even run the original Windows 3.0. I am sorry to see a county that helped set the standards for technology in the classroom within the state of Virginia allowing itself to fall behind. Supporters Thanked CHRISTINE ANTRAM Rixeyville To the Editor: On behalf of The Friends of the Theatre we want to thank all who gave such generous support tot he 1995-96 season opening and reception following the piano recital by Martin Berkofsky on Sept. 10. Our special thanks go to Chuck Raney at Farfelu Vineyards and Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch of The Inn at Little Washington for providing the wine and hors d’oeuvres at the reception, and to the Middle Street Gallery for allowing us to use their premises. It was a lovely, late summer afternoon and from the comments of those who attended, a splendid way to start the season. We look forward to doing more of the same. Thank you. EDWARD BARTON MARY ANN KUHN HALLEE MORGAN BILL YOUNG Firehall Gets HVAC To the Editor: Most heard of the disasters caused by the flooding in North West area of Virginia this year, but few have heard of the kind hearted businesses that provided a very necessary gift to a local Volunteer Fire and Rescue company in Rappahannock County. In a little town called Washington, known for the fine restaurant and apple trees dwells a volunteer fire department that received a gracious present of a heating and air conditioning system from businesses both in Fairfax and in Warrenton. The Washington Volunteer Fire Department, which I have been a member of since last year, was in need of a HVAC system for its fire hall. This seemed quite a big need. The fire hall has the largest enclosed open area for renting out to the public in the area of Washington. As an instructor of the National Electric Code, I have made many friendships in the area with other tradespeople and began my quest with some of these. Mark Campbell, with Superior Service, a HVAC Contractor in Warrenton, provided the HVAC Gas unit and the central air conditioner and the labor to install these as well as the ducting which was provided by Fairfax’s own Lee Hit Sheet Metal, Todd Peal owner. Todd and I graduated from Oaktown High School together, and I have always been grateful for his friendship. Branch Electric in Warrenton and Fairfax (My thanks to Mike Vincent, Dave 2 WIDESPREAD RAPPAHANNOCK DISORDERS OF WHICH NO ONE KNOWS EXACTLY THE CAUSE.. THE FIRST IS BEING LATE..

Mark Campbell, his father, and those in his company provided both labor and material and were the intregal part of this operation. Although I did begin and initiate the project by asking, many people ask businesses in this day and age for a lot, but these businesses represent people caring about things not only close to them, but also far away. The air conditioned hall provided a staging area when the flooding occurred in Rappahannock County. The sheriff told me that it provided comfort to those who were facing disaster and troubled times due to the treacherous Rush River. I had never known nor did the others who took part in this that this meeting hall would be so important so soon after the installation, but hearts of those who care are always timely. Hands across Virginia was organized by the Governor, but this project was done spontaneously by those who know no boundaries to community. It is my sincere hope that word of this spreads and that this will encourage others to help even when the need may not be so obvious. My thanks to all you who listened and cared enough to respond. May God richly reward you for your caring hearts. DAVE MINYARD Vienna Katzen Supports Education To the Editor: Del. Jay Katzen’s strong stand in favor of innovation in public education is routinely misrepresented by his liberal opponents, because they fear that he and other conservatives will remove the straitjacket on public education in Virginia strapped on by the teacher’s union. Jay introduced legislation to permit charter schools, which are public schools set up by school boards and controlled by the boards, principals, and parents. The union had its liberal legislators vote this down, because it understandably wants to keep control of our schools, which it can’t do if schools are under local control. Jay voted to increase funding for elementary and secondary education. Because Gov. Allen was trying to put the brakes on state spending, the increases in school spending were less than what the two-year budget called for. So Jay’s opponents call these “cuts,” and claim that he is trying to “destroy public education.” Neither side wants to destroy public education. Liberal educators want the system to stay just like it is, and they promise to reverse the downward trend in performance and behavior at our schools if only we will give them more money to spend. Conservatives like Jay Katzen say that we have already tried that in Virginia (spending on K-12 has increased 65 percent since 1985); it hasn’t worked, and it’s time to try something different. And it’s time to free school boards, administrators, teachers, and parents to make the decisions about how our children are going to be educated. RICK WOOD Amissville (Editor's Note: Mr. Wood is a candidate for the School Board from Jackson District.) Absence Explained To the Editor: Because of the numerous questions about my absence, I feel the need to explain why 1 was not present at the Political Forum sponsored by the Amissville Ruritan Club on the evening on Sept. 21. My invitation to participate in the forum came via a telephone call from the Ruritan’s Program Chairman 30 minutes before it was scheduled to begin. He indicated that most of the local candidates were going to be there, and that we would be able to make a short speech followed by questions from the audience. He also said that somehow the had forgotten to contact me and incumbent supervisor Ellis Bingham. Needless to say I was quite surprised by this last minute approach and explained to the chairman that I would not be able to attend because I had already made plans to take my six-year-old son to sign-up for Cub Scouts at the elementary school. I assumed, under the circumstances, that the chairman would pass this information on to the audience. He didn’t. The Ruritan Organization is an important group in our community, and I am sorry I was not able to speak to them and their guests. For those who are interested in hearing from all the candidates for School Board, there will be a forum on the evening of Oct. 24 at the RCHS auditorium. 1 will be present. RON MAKELA Candidate For School Board Jackson District Stop Sprawl To the Editor: The Battle of Gettysburg has long been recognized as the “high tide of the Confederacy.” The bloody rebuff of Pickett’s charge at the stone wall marked the point at which the South’s fortunes of war turned and began their long agonized decline down the road to Appomattox. Similarly, future students of urban planning and growth management will recognize the Disney’s America debacle last year in Haymarket as the turning point in our nation’s war against sprawl. The Disney fight shocked Americans across the nation into a horrified and irreversible recognition of the costs of paving the countryside. A few months later, in February of this year, another harbinger of change appeared with a report from the Bank of America entitled “Beyond Sprawl.” Although focusing on California, its general conclusions apply to Virginia as well. For example: “In the decades after World War II, (Virginia) emerged as an economic and political powerhouse, providing jobs, housing, and prosperity for most of its rapidly growing population. Underlying this success was a development pattern that emphasized expanding metropolitan areas, conversion of farmland and natural areas to residential use, and heavy use of the automobile. In the postwar era, this way of life worked for Virginia...Government agencies and private businesses were able to provide the infrastructure of growth — new homes, roads, schools, water system, sewage treatment facilities, and extensions of gas and electric distribution. Within the last generation, however, this postwar formula for success has become overwhelmed by its own consequences. Since the 1970s, housing has become more expensive, roads have become more congested, the supply of developable land has dwindled, and because of increasing costs, government agencies have not. been able to keep up with the dferrjand' of public services...We can no longer afford the luxury of sprawl.” With the prospect of an outer beltway looming before us, we in Northern Virginia have an extraordinary opportunity to conceive and implement'for-" ward-looking growth managertieht! principles. Now is the time to redouble; our efforts to change the patterns of development that are currently squandering our natural resources and iaying' waste our countryside. As a personal protest against current “growth at any cost” policies in Richmond, and as an incentive' fdr Its’ promulgators to change their agenda, especially as regards to our region, I have recently begun a fast of 30 days I ask all of you who share these concerns about the future of the Piedmont to please get involved in your own way and let out elected and appointed1 officials and candidates know that here is a golden opportunity to show leadership and vision so that what We do here may serve as an example" to the rest of the nation. REDMOND MANIERRE The Plains Treasurer Resigns To the Editor: Family and personal reasoq? dictate that I must resign my post as Treasurer for the Town of Washington.

US, Scotland Tie in Polo By JULIE REARDON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer 7 Rappahannock County provided the"setting for an international polo m'itch' between Scotland and the U.S?Af Thursday. _ A t team of four men from Scotland, visiting Virginia for a week of polo and foxhunting, met four area players for the match, held at Bill F^nnon’s riverside field near Laurel MUls • Following the game, Mr. Fanhpn and his wife, Mary Frances, host,ed. a dinner party for the players apd guests. Scotland was represented by The Honorable James Douglas, David Wildridge, Mark Emerson, and Gus Prentice. Mr. Douglas is a fourth-generation polo player, farmer, and market^ r.’of his family’s own whiskey lab^l, Lord’s Classic, and is rated at two goals. . , A 44-year-old former fighter pilot, Mr, Wildridge is currently chief pilot of an aviation company supplying air chiarter'service to the racing industry. These two were joined by youngsters Mr. Emerson, 21 and Mr. Prentice, 22, raJeJ at two and three goals, respectively. Mr. Emerson is an animal science major at the University of Edinburgh. Mr. Prentice began playing polo in the pony club at age 14. Area residents playing on the U.S. team included professionals Tom Monaco and Roberto Villegas, rated at two and three goals, respectively. RSL Teams Improve The majority of teams in the Rappahannock Soccer League lost their games last week, but most scores were just a goal or two apart — a vast improvement over a couple of the widely disparate scores of the previous week. . , The biggest turnaround occurred with the U-14 team. They battled Culpeper-11 to a score of 2-1, losing \yhen Culpepefr scored its second goal a half-second before the referee’s whistle ended the game. Carl Letsen’s U-10 team and Jim Lofton’s U-6 team were the only winning. Rappahannock teams. Mr. Letsen’s team beat Madison 3-0, with Nathan Corbin scoring two goals and Michael Cannon scoring one goal. , Mr, Lofton’s team, “The Robins,” won its first game against Shuman Builders in Culpeper 2-0 and its second game 4-3. Dylan Corbin scored in both games for a total of three goals, and James Lofton scored three goals in the second game. Lorinda Bosch and Mike McKiernan, coaches for separate U?2 teams, both expressed pleasure at the improvement shown by their teams in just a week of playing. !. Rob Parrish’s U-6 team, “The Cardinals,” held St. Luke to two close scores, 2-1 in the first and second games. Sharon Pierce’s U-6s, “The Cannonballs,” scored two goals to Madison’s four. ■ Maggie Roger’s all-girls’ team, a tl-12 group, lost 4-0 to a Fauquier team.--.

In Fauquier Frajik Paratore is on a U-l4 travel learn, and Jonathan Moore is on a UWteam. They were joined by Alan Nash, of Fairfax, and Richmond resident and foxhunter Phil Staples, also rated at two and three goals. The visitors’ polo pdnies were supplied by Mr. Fannon, as well as Travis Worsham of Clifton and Dr. Steve Seager of The Plains, among others. Mr. Seager and George Greenhalgh of Berryvilie were the game’s umpires. Because of the higher handicap rating of the U.S. team, Scotland began play with two points, a lead which they quickly widened to a comfortable 5-2 margin by the game’s second chukka with goals being scored by the two junior members of the team. However, the older and more experienced U.S. team quickly whittled down that lead, and a score in the last period by Mr. Staples tied the score at seven. Due to a horse shortage, the players all shook hands and left the score as a tie between the U.S. and Scotland. The game’s highscoring players were Villegas and Prentice, each scoring four goals. Mr. Prentice thanked Mr. Fannon for the use of his excellent polo ponies, and all the visitors commented on the scenic polo field. The visitors, who returned home Sunday, all plan to return in the near future. Runners Take First Place By BOB HOWARD Rappahannock News Staff Writer On Wednesday September 20 Rappahannock County High School boys’ and girls’ cross country teams won a quad meet at Strasburg. The Rappahannock girls’ defeated Strasburg 25-31. Manassas Park and George Mason did not have enough runners to field a team. Holly Gangel was the overall winner in the girls’ race.

Kevis Home To Welcome Fall Visitors “Crowfield,” the lovely farm home of Carroll and Charles Kevis, is located is a picturesque valley, at the base of Bessie Bell Mountain on Scrabble Road in the Castleton area of Rappahannock County. It is one of the four homes the public will see during the 39th Annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale scheduled for the weekend of Oct. 22-23. The event is sponsored each year by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Trinity Church, Washington. Originally Crowfield was a modest house in need or repair. The Revises, using their Connecticut Yankee ingenuity and artistry, transformed the house into an attractive, comfortable and modem home, that maintains all of its original farm house charm. As one observer has said, “We marvel at the ability of newcomers into our county to look at a place, and envision what it could be ” The local architectural firm of Monroe and Crocker carried out the design and extensive landscaping, complete with a fish pond that enhances the attractiveness of the whole setting. The Revises’ son, Robin, was the contractor who did the construction. In upgrading the original structure, the house was extended to the side and rear by adding an office, a guest bedroom, a large dining sitting room called the garden room and a large kitchen. A deck has been added outside of the kitchen area that provides a magnificent panorama of field and mountains. Mrs. Kevis named the home “Crowfield” in honor of the several families of crows that make their home in the nearby woods and the beautiful vista of green fields that can be seen from the west windows of the house. The entrance hall to the home is covered with an unusual and handsome mural painting of the house and its landscape. Visitors will be charmed by the Revises warm hospitality and what they will see and experience. The garden room is the center of family living. ► Contract From Page A-l they say promotes honest change in Virginia. Delegate John C. Watkins, RChesterfield, who plans to run for speaker of the house if Republicans take control, detailed the specifics of the contract. It includes creating safer neighborhoods, returning lottery profits to localities, providing more jobs with less wasteful spending on government, improving education, requiring parental notification for abortions, supporting welfare reform and establishing open and honest government. Virginia, Lt. Gov. Beyer said, has been focusing on these initiatives for many years, especially education. “It seems to me the only concrete items in today’s pledge is the failed idea of taking lottery profits from the state’s education budget and giving them to cities and counties,” he said. “Virginians, through the Gerteral Assembly, have already said our children are more important than local tax support.” Democrats, he added, are tackling the real debate by boarding a school bus and touring Virginia communities. During their visits, Lt. Gov. Beyer said, Democrats offer Virginians specific initiatives. Democrats are trying to sell their three-point education plan during a 17stop school bus tour through Virginia. The community-based tour, embracing “Good Schools = Good Jobs,” targets improvements for Virginia’s schools, colleges and universities that emphasize providing security in schools, putting computers in classrooms and developing quality vocational programs. Nevertheless, Sen. Kenneth W. Stolle, R-Virginia Beach, said Gov. George Allen promised change when he was elected in 1993 and now the winds of change are blowing. “Coupled with our legislative efforts in shaping this pledge,” Sen. Stolle said, “are the hopes and concerns of thousands of Virginians as they voiced them...this summer and fall.” “It [the contract] tells Virginians what Republican control of the legislature will meant for them,” he said, adding that part of the plan includes abandoning the status quo. ’ Showing their support for the Contract With Virginia, Gov. George Allen and Attorney General James S. Gilmore III said the contract offers unity and accountability to the Republican Party and its candidates for the General Assembly. Gov. Allen also commended Republicans for their attempts to put Virginians first, giving them opportunities for prosperity. “This is a group that is going to work with our administration for honest change,” he said, contending that Republicans offer dynamic leadership for Virginia. Delegate Jay Katzen, RWarrenton, Sjaid he thinks the signing of the pledge promotes unity within the Republican Party: “Voters of Virginia can T>e absolutely sure that the new Republican majority will deliver on these promises,” he said.

► Wanted From Page A-l to appear for scheduled appointments or make further payments. A capias was issued for his arrest and in March he again appeared in Rappahannock Circuit Court. The judge extended his probation another year and ordered him to pay $ 100 per month for costs and restitution. He made no such payment, and in April, 1993 another capias was issued for his arrest. He remains at large. Mr. Estep’s last known address was 9510 Lomand Drive, Manassas. John Joseph Messick, 32, is also wanted for parole violation. He was indicted in November 1985 for passing a bad check at Blue Ridge Guns of Amissville for $468.52. Prosecutor Peter Luke learned he had bad check charges against him totaling several thousand dollars in many other jurisdictions in Virginia including Culpeper, Fauquier, Orange, Spotsylvania. He was in fact in jail in Orange County. He pled guilty was sentenced to five years in jail with four years suspended. He was released on probation in March, 1987. In April he was charged with possession of a concealed weapon in Fairfax County. He was arrested for probation violation in Culpeper. In Rappahannock- in August the judge gave him an additional six months jail time. With other probation violation charges in other counties he returned to prison. In April, 1989, he was again released on probation, and various jurisdictions were notified. He failed to pay anything towards court costs or restitution. In April 1991 he was charged with passing three more bad checks in Madison County, and a capias was issued for his arrest in Rappahannock County for violation of probation. For more than five years Mr. Messick has managed to elude arrest. His whereabouts is unknown. James Carter Crawford, 21, was charged with stealing a .357 caliber pistol and a .22 caliber pistol, which amounts to grand larceny. Bond was originally set at $3,000, but Mr. Crawford requested and received a lower bond of $1,000. He was released on bond. In October 1993 he and his court appointed attorney entered a plea agreement with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. He agreed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of petty larceny. The attorneys recommended 12 months in jail with nine months suspended and two years of supervised probation. Judge Robinson asked for a pre-sentence report by Jan. 10, 1994. On December, 15, 1993, a capias was issued for his arrest charging him with failing to cooperate with the probation offices in preparing the presentence investigation. His last known address was 810 West 14th St., Front Royal. Tony Capies, 28, pled guilty to unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, a 1980 Ford Fairlane belonging to Lester S. Sisk, in January 1992. After a pre-sentence report he was sentenced in February to five years in jail with two suspended and two years of supervised probation. He was also supposed to pay costs of $529.50. In early September of the same year he was released and returned to his home in Washington, D.C. He was assigned to a probation officer there. In August of 1994 the Washington D.C. probation officer reported that Mr. Capies had made regular contact through October 1993, but starting in November he had failed to report as scheduled and had failed to make payment towards his court costs. This past March he was back in court where the judge continued his probation for one more year and ordered him to pay costs by this September. When he failed to keep an appointment with a probation officer in Warrenton or set another time for one in April, another court date was set, and when he failed to appear, a capias was issued for his arrest. Mr. Capies last known address was 1420 Canal St. S.W., Washington, D.C. The remaining fugitives have not been tried and records are not as complete for them. Joanne H. Jenkins, 22, is wanted for passing a bad check in March 1994 at Mayhugh’s Grocery. Sheriff Woodward said his computer system does not include information on the dollar amount for bad checks passed. She is possibly using the alias Joanne/ Woodward. Her last known address is 416 S. Royal Ave., Front Royal. Sheriff Woodward said she may be in Page or Culpeper counties. Kevin E. Summers, 35, is wanted on two counts of passing bad checks. The checks were cashed at Hackley’s Store. His last known address is Box 6 Route 688, Hume. The Sheriff asks anyone with information on the fugitives described above to call him at 675-3331. ► Planners From Page A-l were in the United States buying scrap metal and apparently the actual mill machinery was sold then. As a result, he said, he cannot get the building listed with the National Register of Historic Places. “Since I got the site I’ve wracked by brain trying to make an economic use of it other than bulldoze it down. It’s unsafe now.” Mr. Helmick said the walls are generally sound. Half the roof has fallen in and the other half is about to fall. He said the walls are 30 inches thick and the only damage to the walls came from the falling roof. Gary Light presented the planners with a petition opposing the application signed by 40 people. “We’re opposed to degrading the tranquility of the community,” he said. Louis G. “Butch” Zindel asked, “Do you thinks it’s better for Laurel Mills to have the building deteriorating or to have it improved?” Jim Lofton said, “Laurel Mills is a small community with few houses, and the center of the community is the Laurel Mills Store. It’s basically an agrarian area....An auction hall that brings 100 people on Saturday night with.traffic and a caller would interfere with the character of the neighborhood.An auction house is not a benefit to the community at large.” Piedmont District representative Tom Junk asked if most of the people who had signed the petition were against the auction house, or if they also had a problem with the plan for Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick Melvin Helmick hopes to restore the woolen mill. r s «i * t apartments. Mr. Lofton said he was not opposed to the apartments, “but what Mr. Helmick proposed is a package.” The planners voted unanimously to recommend approval for the project for the apartments only. They specified Mr. Helmick will have to get final approval for his site plan. With less discussion the planners also recommended to the Board of Zoning Appeals that they approve a special use permit for John G. Cahill to operate a gift shop in the old Bowser Williams store near Huntly. This is the last application for such a shop in an agricultural zone the planners will consider, since the Zoning Ordinance was amended to remove antique/gift shops in agricultural zones. The planners also recommended approval for Billy Smoot to build & family apartment in a separate builds ing for his son on his property off th£ Fodderstack Road. The planners agreed to continue work on the Comprehensive Plan by* scheduling a series of three forums ttt be held in different areas of the county on the second Wednesday of eacti month starting in November.

• Community News • Obituaries • Real Estate • Classifieds Rappahannock News WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27,1995 mam m*b*u Business Thrives at The Bam at The Poees By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Pooh Baker used to make her savory cheeses to give as Christmas gifts. Now she has turned her cooking talent into a successful business. At the urging of friends, Ms. Baker decided to open The Bam at The Poges, and began producing six savory cheese spreads and three sweet cheeses last December. Her kitchen is located in a converted guest house/art studio right next to her house on Old Post Road in Viewtown. In the beginning, she leased a kitchen in Middleburg, but driving over an hour to get there was not feasible as she also has a working thoroughbred farm. With all the driving she did, she could barely do more than wave at her horses each day. With the horses, she said, she had to wait nearly three years for gratification, waiting 11 months for the mare to foal and then at least a year and a half before selling the foal. Now, she said, her product can be made and sold all in the same day. Ms. Balcer moved to Viewtown in 1987, and her parents live in the main house on the same property. Her mother Jacquie Baker helps out a lot with the business, baking breads and other goodies to serve with the cheeses during tastings, which take place on weekends. Ms. Baker also has two employees, Larry O’Daniel and Chef Mark Zahuranec. On Monday Mr. O’Daniel was roasting the garlic, and the kitchen smelled heavenly. The garlic process goes through several steps and the exact recipe is a company secret, said Ms. Baker. The roasted garlic puree is an ingredient in four of the savory cheese spreads — Torta Milanese, Roasted Garlic Pate, Low Fat Roasted Garlic Spread, and Torta deTesuque. The Torta Milanese is cream cheese layered with pesto, sun dried tomato and black olive tapenade and the roasted garlic pate. This one and all the other savory spreads are equally good on French bread, crackers, crudites (cut up fresh vegetables) or on pasta. The spreads can be a quick and delicious pasta sauce, said Ms, Pooh Baker picks basil from her garden. Fabulous Forties Photo courtesy of Wendy Weinberg Pianist Betty Bullock, tenor Charles Williams and soprano Rosa Lamoreaux will entertain with songs of the fourties in a concert at The Theatre Saturday. r ' . • . " ' ....t! Baker. The Sun-dried Tomato Butter, which is cheeseless, can be used in place of plain butter, on eggs, steamed vegetables, and other dishes. Ms. Baker encourages experimentation with all of her products. The Torta de Tesuque, which incorporates roasted garlic with a red chile puree using Mesilla Valley anaheim chiles from Mexico, is equally good on warm tortillas, pasta or crackers. The three sweet cheese spreads are Expresso Nut (flavored with double roasted expresso beans and hazelnuts), Pina (sweet cheese with pineapple and ginger), and Black Walnut Fudge Surprise (cocoa cream and black walnuts with a jam center). Ms. Baker suggests trying the expresso nut cheese on a wheat meal biscuit for a real treat, or use any of the three sweet cheeses to make a cream puff using puff pastry. Ms. Baker does everything but milk her own cow. She buys the cheese base, a pasteurized cream and whey culture. She adds milk solids and butterfat and combines the mixture in her commercial kitchen-sized food processor, a Robot Coupe which she affectionately calls “Robocop.” What used to take her two days with smaller food processors now takes just a few hours, she said. None of the products has any preservatives. Basil is grown at The Barn and purchased from five other local growers, including John Bums at Goat Hill Farm in Washington, from whom she also purchases Roma tomatoes, and from Heidi Eastham in Flint Hill. Each week, The Bam goes through 20 pounds of fresh basil and 30 pounds of garlic. Everything is organically grown, and the tomatoes are sliced and dried at The Bam. Next year they hope to grow their own tomatoes and garlic, as their source of organic garlic is way over on the Eastern shore of Maryland. The cheeses are made and pack . v Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Pooh Baker, Larry O’Daniel (pureeing the garlic) and chef Mark Zahuranec work in the kitchen surrounded by roasted garlic, dried tomatoes, basil and chilies. aged in 7 1/2 oz. containers on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Deliveries are done on Thursday, as far south as Williamsburg and into the northern Virginia area. At present, Mountainside Market in Sperryville is the only outlet in Rappahannock County for the cheeses. They are also available at J’s Gourmet in Front Royal and the Town Duck in Warrenton, which was the first store to carry the cheeses. Ms. Baker said that she has been approached by some major chain stores to carry the cheeses, but she prefers doing business with shops where she knows the store owners and sales clerks. “We are aiming at a little niche market,” she said. Paperwork is taken care of on Fridays, and usually tastings take place at various stores on Saturdays. Ms. Baker and Chef Zahuranec have also begun a catering division of the business. Most recently they catered The Evening Under the Stars in Warrenton, a fundraiser for the Partnership for Warrenton. All food from restaurants and caterers was donated. For the event. Chef Zahuranec served a Virginia apple curry soup and grilled chicken breasts with a peach jalapeno salsa. Fie used apples and apple wood from a neighbor for the soup and for grilling the chicken. Chef Zahuranec is a self-taught chef who most recently worked for five years as the chef at the Westfields Conference Center. He loves gardening and growing herbs, and has a keen interest in cooking. He is used to cooking a large number of meals, so the catering is easy for him. He had been looking for the opportunity to start a catering business and was lucky to meet Ms. Baker. The caterers offer meals from two to 200, and can do everything from the food to decorating, serving, bartending and clean-up. The Barn at the Poges products have received the designation as one of “Virginia’s Finest." “We feel very honored to have gotten that designation," said Ms. Baker. Colors Dominate Library Art Show By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Barbara Heile receive her Master of Fine Arts degree from American University in 1982, studying with Robert D’Arista, among others. Before settling in Rappahannock, she lived for three years in California, which may account for some of the Mediterranean flavor of her work. The 18 pictures Ms. Heile has on ( display at the Library this month are pen and ink drawings, water color crayons, oils and a pastel. Whatever her medium, her images are forceful. She paints with a full palette: a number of her pictures include blue. green, yellow, orange, red, purple and aqua; not primary hues, but mixed for intensity, creating bright scenes. Her strongest asset is her sense of color and her ability to combine colorc in an arresting way. A simple example is a small oil on canvas entitled, “Phlox,” which depicts a purpley-red .flower in a blue grass vase set on a yellowy-white wooden floor. Jht^shades of blue are delightful. Barbara Heile’s subjects are hills, trees, and fields, and interior views of her kitchen, for instance, with flowers and the out-of-doors part of the scene. A beautiful example of a kitchen scene is called “Venice kitchen,” one Review she painted in California. The perspective, composition and exquisite colors all show how a still life can be found composed naturally if one has the wit to see it and the sensitivity to portray it. Three works include individuals and a third one, a sculpture of two people wrestling. While her approach might be termed realistic, it is not analytical in the sense of wishing to reproduce the detailed appearance of something. Ms. Heile is not a skilled figure painter and I think she should work to improve her drafting ability. Ms. Heile shows us an exuberant world, confidently portrayed and generally celebratory. Even a picture called “Sarajevo...and the Roses Need Pruning" presents a colorful and cheerful scene. Perhaps the painting, “Girl with Bird” points in a direction for Ms. Heile’s development: this picture contains all the rainbow colors her other works employ, but the composition is focused and the multiplicity of forms makes it sparkle. Quintet To Present Unusual Performance “A Little light music, with lots of surprises.” ] That is ensemble director Beth i Levick’s description of music to be performed by The Rappahannock Quintet at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14 at Ki Theatre. “We’ve been playing together for a year or so,” Ms. Levick explains, “but this will be our first local performance open to the public.” She said that nearly all of their music is composed by members of the group, and all of them are looking forward to presenting it in a local forum. The quintet’s musicians play an unusual combination of instruments: harp, flute, violin, cello and hammered dulcimer. Beth Levick’s singing accompanies many of the original pieces. She teaches music at Spring Mountain School and offers private voice and piano lessons, and is director of a capella singing groups, “The Eclectics.” Kathy Tester of Spenyville plays flute. She is best known locally as the organist at St. Peter’s Church. Her husband Scott plays violin, and is the orchestra and chorus teacher at Warrenton Middle School. Judy Engen of Culpeper is the quintet’s cellist. She has played with ensembles and orchestras in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Virginia. Lyt Wood, who has been a forester and arborist in Rappahannock County for 20 years, )lays a hummered dulcimer that he lesigned and built at home. The singing group “The Eclectics” will make a special appearince at the Oct. 14 performance. Their repertoire includes spiritual, folk, original compositions and Motown. The Eclectics are: Beth Levick, Bob Treanor and Ruth Swenson. Ki Theatre is located on Gay Street in Washington. Advance tickets are recommended.

I’m sure you have heard recent media reports on the value of soybeans. In addition to being a great anti-cancer food, studies show that the whole soybean protein would be adequate event if it were the only source of protein in the diet. Soybeans have over 29 percent of total calories as protein calories. . Other great sources of protein include broccoli with 27.5 percent and kale with 26.8 percent. Snap Beans have 14.5 percent and tomatoes 12.3 percent. Oranges and brown rice have 7 percent'. We learned that many nutrition By CATHY LOU SMITH 937-5024 j L ists recommend a protein intake of only 8-10 percent of total calories, or a little less than 30 grams per day.

Understanding Nutrient Content Claims By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics Food packages often display messages about the nutrition benefits of the products within. There are two types of messages that may appear: (1) nutrient content — also called descriptions; and (2) health claims. Both nutrient content claims and health claims are both strictly regulated by the government. What They Are A nutrient content claim gives the consumer a quick and general idea of the amount of a particular nutrient in a food serving. A “low sodium" nutrient content claims, for example, lets the consumer know that the food within contains 140 mg or less of sodium in each standardized serving.” The term “low sodium” will have the same meaning regardless of the product or brand it appears on. Other nutrient content claims are specifically and uniformly defined as well. This mans that nutrient content claims are particularly helpful tp the consumer who wants to make quick nutrient comparisons among different r HOME ECONOMICS food types and brands. To know exactly how much sodium is in a serving, the consumer must consult the Nutrition Facts section on the package. In fact, food labels with nutrient content claims must state next to the claim: “See (side/back panel) for nutrition information.” Foods that exceed 13 g of fat, 4 g of saturated fat, 60 mg of cholesterol, or 480 mg of sodium per serving are considered higher sources of these nutrients. Health professionals agree that these nutrients should be limited in a healthful diet. Foods that are higher sources of one or more of these nutrients and feature a nutrient content claims for a different nutrient must carry the following statement: “See (appropriate panel) for information about (nutrient requiring disclosure) and other nutrients.” Unsalted peanut butter is such an example. It can carry a “low sodium” nutrient content claim because it contains less than 140 mg of sodium in a standardized serving. However, if this amount of peanut butter contains more than 13 g fat as well, the package must also carry the statement listed above suggesting that the consumer turn to the Nutrition Facts section. This is to alert the consumer to check important nutrients other than sodium (in this case, fat) that should be monitored for a healthful diet. Examples of Nutrient Content Claims Here are the working basics of some common food label nutrient content claims and their definitions. Free: A product has virtually none of a nutrient. It is used in combination with: calorie, sugar, sodium, salt, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. Low: A product has a low enough amount of a nutrient to allow frequent intake without concern about going over dietary recommendations. It is used in combination with: sodium, calorie, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. • low sodium: no more than 140 mg sodium per standardized serving size. • low calorie: no more than 40 calories per standardized serving size. • low fat: no more than 3 g fat per standardized serving size. • low saturated fat: no more than saturated fat per standardized serving size. • low cholesterol: no more than 20 mg cholesterol per standardized serving size.

Grow Trees From Seeds By DR. DIANE RELF Rappahannock N«w» Contributing Writer In late summer, most trees begin to mature seed for next year’s crop of young trees. Oaks, most maples, magnolias, and many other tree species ripen their seeds from late summer through fall, making this seed collection time. There are a few exceptions; some maples and some elms mature seed immediately in the spring. For these species, spring is the time to gather seed for planting. It’s unusual to think of planting landscape trees from seed, but it can be a lot of fun. You may be surprised at how quickly many tree seedlings will grow, especially if you use mulch to keep grass and weeds away from the base of the small seedling. Most Seeds Can Be Started Directly in Good Ground Most tree seeds can be planted directly into friable soil in fall with good germination results. Overwintering in the soil will give the seeds the necessary cold treatment to bring them out of dormancy in the spring. Be sure to place a stake or other market at the planting site, so you will know were to look for emerging seedling next year. Some gardeners prefer to start tree seedlings in pots before putting them in the yard. To expose the seeds to the required cold temperatures, the pots can be kept outside, or the seeds can be stored in plastic bags filled with moist peat moss in the refrigerate for three to four months. For Some Seeds, Rub OfT Covering A few tips for getting tree seeds started: For magnolia, rub the red, oily covering (known as the aril) off the seed using paper towels. Mix the seed with damp peat moss in a plastic bag, and seal it. Place the bags in a refrigerator or other consistently cool, moist sport for 90 to 120 days. Then the seeds can be planted in pots and put in greenhouse, under a light bank in the basement or in a bright, protected spot outdoors. Oak, redbud, and many other tree seeds also can be treated this way. The redbud seed coat is very hard, and lightly scraping it with the edges of a file prior to the cold, moist treatment will help. Oak seeds, acoms, can be planted outdoors immediately. Once planted, most acoms, especially those of red oaks, won’t begin to germinate at all until next spring, but members of the white oak family may germinate as early as this fall since white oak does not require cold treatment to germinate. Several seeds can be planted in each pot after the cold treatment. One to two tree seedlings potted in a container usually can go through one growing season before they are transplanted into the yard, but it’s really best to thin the plants down to one tree per pot after they germinate in the spring. It takes about five years for a seedling to grow to the size of tree you usually buy from a nursery. Starting Trees From Seed Best for Fun, and To Propagate Native Trees The majority of trees used in your landscape probably will come from a local nursery since starting trees from seeds is a slow way to get landscape plants. However, you can get a great deal of satisfaction from the process of planting tree seeds. Growing trees from seeds is also a good way to start native trees that may not be available from nurseries. You may wish to involve children in the project so that someday they can have the satisfaction of saying “I grew that from a seed.” For more information on tree seed propagation, check you local library for the following books: 1) Seeds of Woody Plants in the U.S. 1974. Forest Services USDA, Washington, D.C. 2) Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael A. Dirr. 1983. Stipes Publishing Company. 3) The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation, by Michael A.

Technology Facilitates Diagnoses By PETER FAKOURY Times-Democrat Special Writer In years past the main tools of a physi- \ cian’s trade were experience and intuition. While these two elements are still an important part of medicine, physicians now have an arsenal of new technological tools to help diagnose and treat sick and injured people. Some of the latest advances in medical technology are available locally at Fauquier Hospital. There are about 70 doctors on the hospital’s active medical staff who rely on state-of-the-art technologies when diagnosing and treating their patients. Many of the latest high-tech diagnostic procedures are offered through the hospital’s radiology department. The most recent addi- 1 tion to the department’s tool kit is a brand new magnetic resonance imaging system, j Recently Fauquier Hospital and Culpeper Memorial Hospital jointly purchased the $ 1.4 million MR1 scanner, which now serves both hospitals. MRI allows physicians to see inside the body without having to do exploratory j surgery. The system uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create three-dimensional pictures of organs, bones, and other tissues. MRI is a non-invasive technology that can create detailed images of the body without the use of x-ray radiation.

But his theory on natural selection, “survival of the fittest,” fits more than the world of nature. It may aptly describe the evolution of the health care industry. What existed 20 years ago in health care delivery has drastically changed. As the health care delivery system in the United States has evolved, the delivery mechanisms that are the “fittest” in the changing market place are those that are surviving. Twenty years ago almost everyone had traditional health insurance, like Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Today there are literally hundreds of different kinds of health care plans, many of which are not based on the old fee-for-service insurance model. These plans basically allowed the patient ultimate control of his or her health care, with little regard for cost. Patients chose their own physician, who was reimbursed by the insurance company, less a deductible and co-payment. This system is slowly going the way of the tyrannosaurus rex and the wooly mammoth. What is steadily emerging as the survivor in this age is “managed care.” Managed care is nothing new, but it has taken a foothold in Fauquier County and surrounding areas over the past several years. As recently as five years ago there were few managed care plans covering people who lived in Fauquier County. Now Fauquier Hospital and many of its physicians participate in as many as twenty different health care plans. Many are some form of managed care plan. Managed care has evolved to control the escalating cost of health care. It is based upon the concept that costs can be better conr trolled if patient care is delivered within the confines of a more closely monitored system. Patients are required to use health care providers who are approved by their plan. The approved providers have agreed to offer the care at a discounted rate for members of that plan. Patients typically are penalized financially for receiving health care outside the network of approved providers. The two main types of managed care plans are the Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) and the Health Maintenance Organization (IIMO). , PPOs typically utilize the services of a limited number of private physicians and other providers who agree to offer their services to the plan at a discount price. Patients have their choice of the approved physicians, and usually must satisfy a deductible and co-payment. Patients have much higher out-of- pocket expenses if they seek care outside the network of preferred providers. HMOs often hire their own physicians, and also employ nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who can provide care less expensively to patients who are not seriously ill. There usually are no deductibles with an MMO plan. The patient pays a low per-visit charge, usually around $10. All managed care plans have at least one thing in common. They are heavily primarycare driven. Patients usually cannot see a specialist until they have seen a primary care physician first. Primary care physicians usually are generalists rather than specialists. Since they are less expensive than specialists, managed care plans try to insist that patients see them first. If their problem requires a specialist, the primary care physician makes a referral, allowing the patient to See HMO, Page 14 In This Issue Healthbeat 95 focuses on the changing face of health care.

Fitness Center expands To Fill Need By KELBY HARTSON Times-Democrat Staff Writer The Tone Zone fitness center plans to expand its facilities and add several new programs, such as volleyball leagues and basketball leagues, and senior and youth fitness programs. Currently housed on Waterloo Street in Warrenton, Tone Zone owner Kim Forsten said they are building a new facility to makeroom for their enthusisatic clientele. “We’ve grown out of this studio,” she said. The Tone Zone is run by Mrs. Forsten and her husband, Mike Forsten. The Tone Zone has been the center of a zoning controversy recently. After months of uncertainty, the facility is slated to expand into quarters on Keith Street, adjacent to Chancellor’s Gate townhouse subdivision. Mrs. Forsten said she is working on programs to get sedentary people active, noting that there are enormous health benefits to even the mildest exercise program. At the Tone Zone, she said, everyone is welcome. “Many out-of-shape people are intimidated by fitness clubs; they assume everyone at the club will be beautiful and muscular. “They think they’re going to feel horrible when they come into a place like that because they don’t fit in,” Mrs. Forsten said. Times-Democnt File Photo An aerobics Instructor leads a dass at the Tone Zone. “There’s such a huge intimidation factor.” The Tone Zone’s clients range from the physically fit to people who are just getting back into exercise. “There*s an enormous number of people who have no activity,” she noted. “The most activity they might do is switching the remote control.” See Tone, Page 12 Laura Callif, M.Ed.

Even the medical procedures used by the county’s rescue squads are adapting to new knowledge and the recent technological advances in health care. Beginning this fall, emergency medical technicians trained in Virginia will be taught the new national standard EMT-B curriculum. The revised curriculum is the result of years of field experience as well as advances in medical technology, according to Chuck Thompson, the county’s emergency services director. The new course, he said, “more accurately reflects the experiences EMTs actually face in the field.” Students will be taught to treat patients.’ symptoms rather than to attempt to diagnose the cause of the symptoms, according to Bill Meadows, who oversees educational development at the Virginia Office of Emergency Medical Services. “In many cases, [diagnostic attempts] created delays in transport to a medical facility.” This new assessment-based curriculum, he said, recognizes that the EMTs, particularly volunteers, “have other responsibilities. We cannot expect them to be there for the period of time needed to train doctors and nurses.” For example, students will no longer be taught the six different types of fractures, Thompson said. Since the treatment is the same, the EMT must only be able to recognize a possible fracture and know how to _ treat it. If there is one point of universal agreement in emergency medical care, both Thompson and Meadows said, it is that aggressive treatment of life-threatening illness or injury and rapid transport to a hospital helps to save lives. The new course, Thompson said, will teach EMTs “to rapidly identify an injury or illness that can kill, properly render quick on-scene care and transport to a hospital for definitive care.” That principle underlies several of the skills included for the first time in the new curriculum. EMTs will be taught to use an automatic defibrillator for patients with heart problems. The machine can diagnose abnormal heartbeats and deliver an electric shock that often resets the heart into a normal rhythm. Previously, only EMTs with special training could operate such machines. The defibrillator training also recognizes See EMT, Page 12 Times-Democrat File Photo EMTs practice operating a new heart defibrillator. i ,-—_ Dr. Christine Metzing and Dr. William Simpson °f Warrenton Internal Medicine Welcome Our New Associate Kevin C.

Health Facility To Open '96 By LAURA RUBY Times-Dense rat Staff Writer With an x-ray facility, a laboratory and, perhaps, a pharmacy on site, a new medical office building planned for Warrenton will offer patients innovation and convenience. Slated for completion in September 1996, the building represents the efforts of Warrenton Drs. Trice Gravatte, Steven Von Elten, Frank Black, David Evans and Bill Simpson, who will own the facility. Those owners, who make up the Warrenton Professional Center, are putting the finishing touches on the 50,000-squarefoot building’s architectural design. Located between the Hampton Inn and an apartment complex currently under construction on Blackwell Road, the brick building will consist of two or three floors, Gravatte said. Private entrances and waiting rooms will be provided for pairs of doctors, he said, noting that the first floor of the building — 17,000 square feet — is already under contract for use. This floor plan, Gravatte said, was selected to create the feel of a small doctor’s office in the large building. The first floor, he said, will be occupied by the owners, who, excluding Simpson, are family practitioners. Simpson, along with Drs. Christine Metzing and Kevin McCarthy, will practice internal medicine on the first floor. Members of the doctors’ group, all of FALL SCHEDULE Mon.-sat. Mon., Wed., Sun. Mon. & Wed. Tues. & Thiirs.

Gravatte said there are plans to add a lower wing that would be used for pediatricians. Additional plans call for observation rooms that would allow doctors to watch patients for an extended period of time before sending them to the hospital. Physicians will have the ability to give, for instance, intravenous fluids and asthma treatments to patients, observing their progress to make a determination on whether a hospital visit is necessary. Space is unavailable at the doctors’ cur rent offices to offer this service, Gravatte said. Also, Gravatte said, the physicians hope to have an x-ray facility on-site which, along with the planned expanded laboratory, will offer patients.one-stop health care. Gravatte said there is also the possibility that a pharmacy can be added to the building, adding to the convenience factor. The doctors’ departureTrom Hospital Hill will leave four vacant offices, but Gravatte is hopeful that other practitioners will fill that void. “We’re hopeful that specialists that need to be right next to the hospital will use those buildings,” he said.

Training May Inspire Doctors-To-Be By DEBORAH SHEPHERD Times-Democrat Staff Writer This summer Angela Ciolfi encountered the realities of a medical career in a way that many second-year medical students have yet to experience. Miss Ciolfi, a Fauquier High School senior, was one of 30 Virginia students accepted for the Governor’s School for Medicine. She spent six weeks behind the scenes at the Medical College of Virginia, peering over the shoulders of surgeons and physicians and living the life of a research assistant. This insider’s view sent her home with a clearer idea of her own career goals and an enthusiasm for the Governor’s School program. During this unique program, now in its seventh year, students lived in dorms at the Virginia Commonwealth University and spent their days with mentors at VCU’s medical center. Half of the students had clinical projects, like surgery, family practice or physical therapy; others, like Miss Ciolfi, worked on research projects at MCV’s laboratories. Miss Ciolfi originally applied for a surgical mentorship and was surprised to find out that she had been switched to toxicology.

But it was the best summer of my life,” she said. Expecting to be assigned trivial work around the molecular biology lab, Miss Ciolfi instead found herself working directly on an important drug research project alongside trained lab assistants. Research work is “kind of like following a recipe,” said Miss Ciolfi. “There were steps that required different procedures. 1 just had several different recipes to follow instead of having to do the same thing over and over again, which is what some people have to do and is, I guess, the bad part about research.” Her mentor, Dr. Mary Abood, was engaged in research involving the cannabanoid receptor, which is what marijuana binds with in the brain. The lab’s goal was to study and change the receptor so that marijuana can be used to ease the pain and nausea of cancer patients without the hallucinatory side effects. Simply put, Dr. Abood created a “bridge” between the receptor’s DNA and the antibody that detects its presence. In this way researchers can more easily determine how their experiments change the receptor, bringing them closer to their goal. “My mentor had never tried it before, but she had written it up for a grant,” explained Miss Ciolfi. “My project was to see if it worked.” The atmosphere in the lab was friendly and the lab assistants more than willing to answer her questions. Soon, through careful note-taking, she knew how to perform her assigned procedures and even began to anticipate what step needed to be taken next. “I just learned so much so quickly.

The Future Is Now In Dental Care By DEBORAH SHEPHERD Time*-Democrat StafT Writer Thanks to an electronic machine slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes, patients of dentist John W. Harre Jr. can experience pain-free dental care without enduring injections or post-operative numbness. The electronic anesthesia system is a hand-held unit powered by a nine-volt battery. Connected to adhesive pads placed on key nerve points on the patient’s face, the unit sends signals to the nerves that effectively block pain. It is known as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. TENS is not a new concept in dentistry; Dr. Harre learned about it in the late 1970s and watched as the industry refined the technology. This spring he introduced the 3M dental electronic anesthesia system to his Warrenton practice and estimates that 10 percent of his patients have tried it. “Not everyone is comfortable with trying it, nor is it recommended for all patients or every procedure,” he said. “But those who have tried it have had very favorable comments.” What patients seem to like most about electronic anesthesia is freedom from the unpleasant numbness local anesthesia leaves behind. Once the control unit is turned off, the stimulation ceases and sensation returns immediately to the skin. TENS is also popular with those who hate needles or are allergic to chemical anesthesia.

Vaccines Shot In The Arm For Kids By DEBORAH SHEPHERD Tiao-Dmocnl Slid Writer No child likes to hear the dreaded words “booster shot,” and a trip to the nurse often results in tears, but immunizations save the lives of thousands of U.S. children every year. Beginning at birth and continuing through ages 14 to 16, children receive vaccines against nine crippling or lifethreatening diseases. Immunization is available through private physicians or through the Fauquier County Health Department. Recently, the free walk-in immunization clinic at the Health Department was full of mothers with infants and toddlers, Sheri Perez said, “1 can’t stand to watch it,” but she held six-month-old Mark in her lap as he received the oral polio booster and a shot in the thigh. Head nurse Connie Dwyer reminded her that the shot, which was his diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus booster, may cause a slight fever. “He’ll get a lot of babying the rest of the day,” said his mother. Since 1950 the Code of Virginia has required that every child, except those with religious or medical exemptions, must be immunized before starting school. Amanda Ramey entered kindergarten at Grace Miller Elementary School this year and was at the clinic for DTP, MMR and polio boosters. With mother Jody close by, Amanda bravely endured shots in both arms, turning her head away so she would not have to «* J wm Times-Democral Staff Photo/Sandy Schaeffer Amanda Ramey eidures a shot from Connie Dwyer as mom Jody Ramey offers comfort watch.

Symptoms are sudden fever, headache, upset stomach, sore throat, neck or back stiffness or muscle weakness. It is most likely to affect children ages 1-16 and occurs most often during the summer and fall. ^ • Measles: This highly contagious virus can, in its most severe cases, lead to pneumonia, brain damage and even death. In the first 29 weeks of this year, 206 cases of measles were reported in the U.S., none of them in Virginia. Initial symptoms are fever, a cough and light sensitivity. A rash follows, beginning on the face. Measles occur most often during the late winter and early spring. • Rubella: Also a contagious virus, rubella has symptoms similar to measles but is a milder disease. Outbreaks are common among unvaccinated teenagers, which is risky because if a woman catches it early in a pregnancy the baby is likely to suffer serious birth defects. Only 87 cases of rubella were reported in the U.S. so far this year, none of them in Virginia. • Diphtheria: The diphtheria bacterium usually enters the body through the nose or mouth; victims display symptoms like those of a mild cold. In serious cases, dead cells and bacteria may block the windpipe so the victim cannot breathe. Adults may contract diphtheria but it is most often seen in children under 15. No cases of diphtheria have been reported in the U.S. this year. • Pertussis: This is whooping cough, caused by a bacterium. It starts with the usual cold symptoms accompanied by a cough that develops into the high-pitched “whooping” sound. The most frequent and serious complication of pertussis is pneumonia and it can be fatal in children under 12 months of age. Nine cases of pertussis have been reported in Virginia, 1,544 in the U.S. • Tetanus: The te,tanus bacillus is described as “a very widespread, hardy disease organism.” It lives in soil, street dust, around horses and in horse manure and most often enters the human body through deep, dirty wounds. Symptoms include headache, sweating and mood changes, followed by muscle spasms in the jaw or abdomen. Tetanus can cause breathing and heart problems and it can occur more than once, to people of any age, even if the victim has had tetanus before. In the U.S. so far this year, 13 cases of tetanus have been reported. • Mumps: The mumps virus is most infectious after the glands in the cheeks and under the jaw begin to swell. Hearing loss may occur with mumps. It can affect people of all ages but is likely to be more serious and painful in teenagers and adults. • Haemophilus influenzae type b; Known as Hib, the most serious form of this disease is bacterial meningitis. If untreated, Hib may cause brain damage, mental retardation, cerebral palsy or death. Hib can also cause other serious diseases such as the choking disease epiglottitis, pneumonia, or joint, skin and ear infections. Those at highest risk are children who attend day-care facilities or those who have sickle cell disease or immune-system related diseases. In the U.S., 689 cases have been reported this year. • .Hepatitis B: This virus is spread by direct contact with infected blood or body fluids. It produces flu-like symptoms and some victims also have jaundice, which results in yellow-colored skin and eyes. Liver disease or death from liver failure may occur. There have been 57 reported cases of hepatitis in Virginia so far this year, in the U.S., 5,466 cases. How Do Vaccines Work? Vaccines contain small amounts of the See Shots, Page 11

► Immune From Page 10 disease-causing organism or its products. The body reacts to the presence of the vaccine by producing its own antibodies to fight the disease. Antibodies then remain “on guard” in the body, creating or increasing a natural immunity against the disease that may last for months or years. It is the duration of this immunity that determines when and how often booster shots are required for each vaccine-preventable disease. For instance, the tetanus and diphtheria shot must be boosted every ten years to maintain immunity. Some people do not respond to certain vaccines. The measles vaccine is administered in two doses because five percent of the population does not respond to the initial shot. Are The Vaccines Safe? “Most studies show that vaccines are sate,” said Dr. James Bums. He is the district Health Department director for five counties, including Fauquier. “Some cause local side effects in 10 or IS percent of children. There may be swelling qr soreness at the injection site, or the child might be irritable or feverish.” According to Dr. Bums, cases of neurological disorders have been suspected to arise from the pertussis vaccine. “But it’s dillicult to prove they are from the pertussis vaccine because all kids get the vaccine but the neurological disorders are rare.” Is Immunization Necessary? fact: Roughly 4,000 people die every year from hepatitis, according to Dr. Bums, many of them 20 years later from cancer or cirrhosis of the liver. Fact: Since the Hib vaccine was introduced five years ago, Dr. Bums said that over 90 percent of the invasive diseases caused by the bacterium have been eliminated. Fact: Virtually every reported case of tetanus involved a victim who was never immunized. Vaccines that eliminate the “wild” viruses and bacterium prevent harmful, often devastating outbreaks and have led to the elimination of at least one killer disease. “The greatest public health achievement is having clean water, managing sewage safely. But the most dramatic achievement was the elimination of smallpox,” said Dr. Bums. The eradication of smallpox began when the smallpox vaccine was introduced in the late 1800s. By 1970 the disease had been totally eliminated, said Dr. Bums. “The smallpox virus only exists in two labs,” he said. “One lab is in the Center for Disease Control and the other is in Russia.” The second disease that the U.S. stands a chance of eliminating is polio. “There have been no indigenous cases of polio in the U.S. 'since 1976, and no cases in the entire western hemisphere since 1991,” said Dr. Bums. Dropping occurrence rates may affect how the vaccine is administered. “As we eliminate the wild virus we aren’t saving as many lives with the vaccines and some are harmed by the vaccine itself,” Dr. Bums said. The polio vaccine, or OPV, is given orally. The oral vaccine caused eight to 10 cases of paralytic disease last year in the U.S. But the injectable polio is a “killed” vaccine that does not cause the disease. This year, for the first time, a chicken pox vaccine has been approved. So far it is a one-time shot, until an immunity history can be determined by comparing the immunity of people vaccinated with the immunity of people who get the disease naturally. The chicken pox vaccine is being administered by private physicians. Adults Not Immune From Shots “It is most important that people over the age of 65 get the pneumococcal vaccine,” stated Dr. Burns. “It contains 23 strains of pneumonia. If everyone got that shot it could save 20,000 lives.” Adults should also get a yearly flu shot, especially senior citizens and those with serious underlying conditions such as emphysema, diabetes or heart disease. Anyone who plans to travel outside the U.S. should call the Health Department at least one month in advance to find out if they need any boosters or special vaccines, said Dr. Bums. Vaccines which might be necessary depend on the country to be visited and may include yellow fever, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, or rabies. When To Vaccinate? Following is a basic schedule for childhood immunization. Vaccines are listed under the routinely recommended ages. Bars indicate range of acceptable ages for vaccination.

EMT students will also be taught to assist heart patients with the administration of their own nitroglycerin, a common treatment for chest pain. Asthma patients who use inhalers for relief will find EMTs trained to assist them in using that device, and'the new curriculum also teaches the proper method of using an auto-injector to administer epinepherine to a patient suffering an allergic reaction. Those skills, Meadows stressed, allow the EMT to assist the patient in administering his own medication. Only field providers with advanced certifications are allowed to administer the medications that are carried on some advanced life support ambulances. Meadows added that the biggest change most hospitals will see as a result of the new curriculum is that patients will arrive at the hospital sooner. The EMT-B curriculum is the second revision of the EMT program first unveiled by the U.S. Department of Transportation in the early 1970s. That program was the result of studies that found that patients who received early field treatment for illnesses and injuries more often survived and made a more rapid recovery after reaching a hospital. The first revision of the national standard was implemented in 1984, and Virginia EMTs have followed that training program since. Virginia remains a leader in implementing new EMS programs, Meadows said. Some states won’t begin using the new curriculum until 1997, while Virginia will switch over on Jan. 1. “There’s no question that Virginia is a leader in implementation. 1 don’t know of any state that has given the new curriculum the level of commitment that Virginia has.” Students in Fauquier County are already being taught the new curriculum in the high school fire science classes, and an adult education class began Sept. 21, also at Fauquier High. Thompson said that adult class is open to anyone, and the only charge is for the course textbook. Certification in CPR is a prerequisite. The class is held from 7-10 p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday, and every other Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Anyone interested in the class may call the Office of Emergency Services, 3476995, for more information. ► Tone x From Page 5 Mrs. Forsten said she has developed a program “that just gets them moving,” explaining that there are numerous benefits to exercise, even mild exercise once a week. She said many inactive people avoid fitness clubs because they think there is no point in getting active unless they can devote an hour of their lime three days out of the week. “Activity and exercise can only help. You derive a great amount of health benefits from doing low- to medium-impact aerobics,” she said. “Doing something one day a week is better than nothing at all. And you may build yourself up to three to five days a week.” Strength training is particularly important for women, according to Mrs. Forsten, because it prevents and reverses osteoporosis. The proposed center will offer a variety of new programs. The Tone Zone now offers a vast array of aerobics, with 57 classes each week. “We’re maxing out in some of those classes,” Mrs. Forsten explained. Additionally, the Tone Zone’s clients were looking for a “well-rounded place to work out,” Mrs. Forsten said. In the new facility, she plans to expand the weight training, personal training and nutrition programs. The Tone Zone currently has a “Swingin’ Seniors” fitness program for the elderly. “We’d like to expand that program,” Mrs. Forsten said, and offer additional exercise options to Fauquier County’s senior citizens. Mrs. Forsten also wants to make fitness fun for the younger set with programs that address each age group’s needs. The new facility will host basketball and volleyball leagues, with tournaments for those sports. “We’ve chosen to be fitness educators, so it’s really our duty to give people the best service,” Mrs. Forsten declared. “We consider it a privilege to assist people in this capacity, and we try to give each person our best.” Mrs. Forsten said she hopes to break ground on the new facility within the next month, and open by February of 1996.

► Dental From Page 9 TENS does not replace local anesthesia, which is still necessary for more invasive dental work. Dr. Harre has found electronic anesthesia to be effective for common procedures such as teeth cleaning and some fillings, crowns or bridge work. It can also relieve joint and muscle pain associated with temporomandibular dysfunction, or TMJ. In cases where local anesthsia is required, Dr. Harre may recommend using TENS to “close the pain gate” at the injection site. Electrode-type adhesive pads are placed at varying sites on the face, depending on where the dental hygienist is going to be working. To properly apply the pads the patient’s mouth must be open in what is called the “treatment” position, or as wide as Times-Democrat Staff Phota/Sandy Schaeffer Dental hygienist Colleen Rossmeissl, standing, examines assistant Jenny Gmig with the OraMsion camera probe necessary when undergoing dental procedures. The intensity of the electric stimulation increases when the mouth is open because the outer skin is then stretched more tightly over the soft inner tissues where the numbness is required. The control unit fits comfortably in the palm of the hand. The patient simply increases the level of electrical stimulation by rotating the amplitude knob. An amplitude reading of between 10 and 15 is the average for most patients, said Harre. At that point patients report a steady electrical sensation but no pain. They are usually ready to begin treatment within two or three minutes after stimulation begins. Patient Esther Guimond tried electronic anesthesia at Dr. Harre’s office for deep periodontal cleanings because she hates the lingering numbness of local anesthesia. She was amazed at how well the system worked. “1 was kind of nervous at first, but after 10 minutes, when nothing was happening, I laid back and relaxed. 1 could feel some pressure, because there was a lot of scraping, but 1 had no pain.” She received electronic stimulation steadily for about an hour, experiencing only mild tingling and occasional muscle spasms around her mouth and eye. When the cleaning was over, she turned olT the control unit and felt no after-effects. Best of all, there was no numbness. Mrs. Guimond has since used electronic anesthesia four or five times, once for a tooth filling. “You don’t get numb but there is no pain. If 1 could get up from there without a couple of hours of numbness, that’s great,” she said. She had used a similar method of pain reduction about 10 years ago when suffering from pinched nerves and disk problems in ,, <7 her back. Beards interfere with electronic anesthesia because the pads must be adhered directly to the skin. TENS is also not recommended for pregnant women or those with heart disease, seizure disorders, or skin lesions on the face. Dr. Harre opened his Warrenton dental practice in 1982 after service as a U.S. Army dentist at Vint Hill Farms Station. His dental education and general practice residency were completed in 1978 but he said he never stops learning. “There’s very little that 1 do now that is the same as when 1 went to dental school,” he said. “There are constant changes and new tricks in dentistry, new technological toys that come on the market.” And TENS is not the only technological addition to his office. There is also the intraoral camera. The camera is mounted on a wand-like probe that Dr. Harre inserts into a patient’s mouth. A live, color image of teeth, gums and tongue is instantly displayed on a television mounted on the wall. This “video tour” of the mouth helps patients see firsthand the problem areas Dr. Harre was only able to describe or draw for them before. Images seen through the OralVision camera can also be captured on a color printer. All Dr. Harre’s patient records will eventually contain a four-plex photo, showing full face, smile, the upper arch of teeth and the lower arch. Photos can be sent to insurance companies for pre-treatment authorizations, or to the pathologist after a biopsy. The photo can be also split into 16 very small images. Photos this size are placed in the bases of dentures so that hospitals and nursing homes will return the correct teeth to each patient. Drs. Wampler, White, Farr & Wampler, Ltd.

During their lifetime, most women and many men are confronted with the problem of unwanted facial and body hair. Whether an inherited trait, the result of hormonal imbalance or simply a cosmetic preference, the temporary methods of removal used are generally frustrating and embarrassing. These methods are irritating, increase hair growth and are never-ending. If shaving, plucking, waxing and bleaching have become part of your daily routine, perhaps now is the time to consider "Electrolysis” It is the only permanent method of hair removal. Hair can be permanently removed from any area of the body. Treatments are neither costly, nor do they damage the skin (there should be only slight reddening of the area that may last a few minutes to a few hours). When treated by a competent, qualified electrologist all unwanted hair should be eliminated within a specific time frame for specific areas. The upper lip or chin, for example, involves the initial clearing of all hair, then treatment of any regrowth at specific intervals spaced further and further apart until all regrowth ceases. The process generally takes one year and a half and approximately twelve treatments . Once all the cells that produce the individual hairs have been destroyed, the treated follicles can never again produce a hair. The fee for each fifteen-minute treatment is twenty dollars, affordable for all those wishing to permanently eliminate a new or life-long problem. Electrolysis provides a lifetime of freedom. Call for a consultation and sample treatment. It will answer any questions you may luw and there is no fee and absolutely no obligation.

>HMO From Page 4 get to the next higher level of care. Managed care plans usually arrange discount contracts with hospitals, laboratories and other health care providers. A patient who needs blood work is required to use a plan-approved laboratory. Likewise, a patient who needs the services of a hospital is directed only to hospitals that have discount contracts with the patient’s plan. Providers are learning that to survive they must be able to deliver the care less expensively and more efficiently. In fact, the need for greater efficiency is a major driving force behind the market place changes in health care delivery. More medical procedures today are performed on an outpatient basis than ever before, and greater advances in medical technology have facilitated fhis trend. For example, a new non-surgical breast biopsy system at Fauquier Hospital costs about half as much as traditional surgery. The patient is in and out in an hour, requires no costly hospitalization, suffers little or no pain, and requires almost no recovery time. Most health care plans today carefully dictate how much hospitalization they will allow for various procedures. In the 1950s and 60s a woman might have been hospitalized for a week for delivering a baby. Today health care providers are eager to get women out of the hospital as quickly as possible. A typical hospital stay for an uncomplicated birth is just over 24 hours. This shift toward minimizing hospitalization has changed the way health care providers do business. Locally, Fauquier r Hospital provides inpatient services to about 4,200 patients a year. On the outpatient side, the hospital treats about 16,600 people per year in its Emergency Room, 4,150 in its outpatient department, and another 14,700 through its home health department. It also provides laboratory work, therapies and radiology services to about 18,000 outpatients. Efforts to reduce the cost of health care through greater efficiency and managed care are working. Last year was the first year in recent history that the cost of health care nationally did not increase. Further changes to the United States’ health care delivery system are coming. “Capitation” is the new word in health care these days. Under a capitated system, health care plans pay physicians a flat fee to care for a patient for a year. The physician decides how to spend those dollars, and must manage the care of his or her patients as efficiently as possible. Some patients will require more care than this flat fee covers, while others will require less. Capitation represents a radical shift in the way health care works. Physicians will keep the allocated dollars that they do not spend on their patients, thus shifting the focus of health care from treatment to prevention. A physician’s incentive will be in keeping people healthy rather than treating them when they become ill. The American health care system is continuing to evolve, and this will mean further adjustments for patients and health care providers alike. The good news is that the health care market place is driving down the cost of health care without a political move toward health care reform. The best system will survive. Charles Darwin would be pleased. i ► Ciolfi From Page 8 work] is problem-solving and figuring how something works. 1 learned about DNA, how to read, sequence, manipulate it and insert it. The best part was knowing what I was doing as I was doing it, as 1 put this chemical in or separated something in the centrifuge.” She was by no means confined to the lab. Miss Ciolfi said Governor’s School students had access to every part of MCV. As a teaching hospital, MCV staff is used to students wandering through areas the public isn’t usually allowed to see. Wearing scrubs and sporting badges that identified them as Governor’s School students, Miss Ciolfi and the others observed operations, births and autopsies, encountered actual emergencies and talked to patients. It was more real than “E.R.” or “.Chicago Hope,” more immediate than textbooks or lectures. “Everyone was always more than willing to answer our questions, no matter how busy they were,” recalled Miss Ciolfi. “The means and the resources were readily available for any kind of project a student had the notion to undertake.” One day Miss Ciolfi observed the deliveiy of twins, one of whom had a hole in the diaphragm through which intestines protruded. The newborn was rushed to the pediatric emergency room, leaving the other twin, for the first time in nine months, on her own. “Another student and I went over and touched and stroked her . . . she was only a few minutes old. Her eyes opened and I was standing right there. That was wonderful, because most mothers don’t even get that.” Another operation she observed removed an enormous tumor from the shoulder of a 15-year-old boy. Having volunteered at a veterinary clinic in the past, she did not turn squeamish. She admits, though, that watching a certain orthoscopic procedure in a hot operating room made her a little dizzy. The program required Miss Ciolfi to spend several hours each week volunteering in a rehab unit, helping with brain-injured patients. And although research is now attractive to her — something she never dreamed she’d be interested in — she said she would not want to be separated from patients if she decides to pursue a medical career. “1 really wasn’t thinking about medicine before this program. Now I’m thinking about it a lot more. This really gave me a better background before 1 plunged in.” Although her work with Dr. Abood was at times frustrating, as procedure after procedure failed, she and the rest of the stall were finally rewarded for their hours of painstaking labor. “After trying several different ways, it did work. So if they won’t give her the grant because they say, ‘That won’t work,’ she has my research to show that it does.” Does she regret the lost opportunity to have a surgical mentor? “1 didn’t think research was interesting. But it turned out that I actually got to do a hands-on experiment that was significant. The people who had surgery mentorships mostly got to just watch . . . and 1 didn’t even look once in a microscope!” ■ MS , - DIABETES 2 "GLAUCOMA 3 SC AT A B A C T S 4 & >■ <j?9.s5<r20/20 vision isn’t the only reason to see your eye doctor.

► High-Tech From Page 3 transported between the two hospitals. The scanner replaced an older model, and has many new enhancements. One such feature is its ability to create maps of the circulatory system through a technique called magnetic resonance angiography. This can be valuable in diagnosing aneurysms and other circulatory anomalies. Another new technology being offered in the Fauquier Hospital radiology department is stereotactic breast biopsy, a non-surgical biopsy technique that allows surgeons and radiologists to determine whether or not a breast lump is cancerous without surgical removal. Last May the hospital installed a $250,000 piece of equipment to perform this procedure. It uses digital mammography and a computer to guide a needle to the center of the lump where it extracts a small sample for laboratory analysis. Stereotactic breast biopsy is less painful and disfiguring than traditional surgical biopsy, and is considerably less expensive. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. For cardiac patients, the hospital’s SPEC T imager brings the latest advances in cardiac medicine to the community. SPECT, which stands for single photon emission computer tomography, creates three-dimensional images of the heart using radioisotope thallium, which is injected into the blood stream. Thallium travels directly to the heart muscle, where it allows a special scanner to create detailed pictures that help cardiologists determine heart muscle condition and damage. It is considered one of the best diagnostic cardiology tools available today. Fauquier Hospital’s clinical laboratory is another department that utilizes high technology for diagnostic purposes. It is staffed around the clock to provide physicians with quick and comprehensive laboratory testing. Using computerized analyzers, the lab performs routine tests such as complete blood counts, urinalyses, toxicology screens and chemistry profiles. Complex pathology tests like tissue biopsy analysis and bacterial and viral culture also are performed at the lab. The hospital also maintains a separate STAT lab that serves primarily the emergency department. This lab is utilized for tests that must be performed quickly in lifeand-death situations. Lab tests that are not as critical are batched together for testing in the main clinical laboratory. “Fauquier Hospital exists to meet the needs of this community,” said Rodger Baker, Fauquier Hospital’s President/CEO. “Part of our mission is to make sure the most up-to-date technology is available for the people of Fauquier County and the surrounding areas. We don’t do cardiac bypass surgeries and bone marrow transplants, but we can offer almost everything a larger hospital can provide, and we offer it close to home.” Tours and demonstrations of Fauquier Hospital’s high-tech diagnostic and treatment capabilities will be offered during the hospital’s annual “Alive and Kicking” free Health Fair, Saturday, September 30 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the hospital. The fair also will feature over a dozen free health screenings. For more information on any of the high-tech procedures, call 349-0588. Small Device Big News It’s a piece of plastic no larger than a dog tag, but it can save lives. This new generation “smart card,” called Medi-Tag or Safe-Tag, contains a tiny microchip that can store a person’s medical history — from files and lab reports to actual X-rays and EKGs. It can even hold a voice message from a doctor. In an emergency, there will be no waiting as a medical staff frantically tries to determine what the problem is. Within seconds, doctors will know a patient’s entire medical background including whether the patient has any life-threatening diseases, allergies to medications or if they need special treatment When doctors are finished, they can update Medi-Tag files on the spot. Medi-Tag represents a dramatic advance in information technology and holds promise for a wide range of practical applications, sayits champions. Already, the Department of Defense is preparing a largescale test on the tag for use with soldiers in combat. When coupled with a portable reader, the tag system would make medical attention in the field far more effective. There is also unlimited potential for uses outside of the medical arena. The developer, Safe-Tech Systems of Sterling, Va., envisions people using the device to download books or movies at the library or video store. They can enjoy them later at home — and there’s no bothersome return trip necessary. The tag is a giant leap above the typical smart cards being used today. It can be Technology for Humanity The Medl-Tag can carry a person's medical history. accessed from a variety of operating platforms including Windows.
