John Warner, Jim Miller and his supporters are working to turn out what they call the “Republican core” for the June 11th primary. Mr. Miller and his supporters hope party loyalists won’t forget Sen. Warner’s break from the Republican party in 1994 to support independent senate candidate Marshall Coleman. Sen. Warner vocalized his opposition to Republican party nominee Ollie North, a cardinal sin in the eyes of some conservatives. “John Warner has been disloyal to the principles and people ’of our party,” said Miller campaign co-chairman .Mike Farris, whose candidacy for Lt. Governor in 1994 Warner also opposed. “If only Republicans vote, Jim Miller will win.” Sen. Warner’s, supporters admit that to win the nomination, Sen. Warner must mobilize support from independent voters, a group not normally prone to vote in primary contests. Mr. Miller, a former budget director for President Ronald Reagan, is pushing a tax reform pledge and appealing to social conservatives on “family values” issues, in addition to using the loyalty issue against Sen. Warner. Jim Miller I warner | is me man who just two years ago stabbed the Republican Party in the back and now demands the Republipan Party carry him on its shoulders,” said Mr. Miller, a McLean resident. “It’s time to replace John Warner with a consistent Virginia conservative, a rock-ribbed Ronald Reagan Republican.” Mr. Farris said Miller supporters will back Sen. Warner if he gets the nomi-' nation. “I intend on endorsing the winner, period,” Mr. Farris said. “I believe in being faithful.” However, Mr. Farris points out that endorsing someone is a lot different than working to get someone elected on the campaign stump. “There’s some wounds that aren’t going to heal any time soon,” Mr. Farris said. He said Sen.

Singing Cicadas Call Summer By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer You’ve probably heard them, the male cicadas, that is. Their “singing,” which has really become prominent in the past week, can be heard as a loud shrill (and annoying) sound constant throughout the day. The sound is produced by a thin membrane at the base of the male’s abdomen that vibrates like the top of a drum. They are usually quiet during the night and cloudy weather. They are the 17 year cicadas, and Extension Agent Kenner Love says that this year is the year for the cicadas for our county. They do not emerge at the same time all over the county, but with each day last week, Mr. Love received more and more calls about the insects. Because of the mess and noise they make, having them make their appearance every 17 years is probably often enough for those who have to put up with them. In Ann and Ralph Brown’s yard in WoodviHe, bushes are loaded with the empty shells that the adult cicadas have shed and left behind to hang on the leaves. A single leaf can have three or four shells hanging from it. Nearby, The ground is full of holes where they emerged. Once they climb out of the ground, after spending the last 17 years as nymphs and feeding on roots of trees, they head for anything that is See Cicadas, Page A-6 Warner Tries To Keep Seat By CARRINGTON C. TARR and GINA VOSS EDWARDS Tines Newspapers Staff Writers In seeking re-election, U.S. Sen. John W. Warner (RVa.) is delicately walking through a lion’s den filled with roaring-mad party loyalists who will never forget his opposition to fellow Republican Oliver North and also with Democrats who hail his actions — but maybe not enough to vote for him. Then there are those voters who may not bother with the June 11th primary at all. But the Warner campaign is making an.unusual bet on its ability to convince Democrats, independents and moderate Republicans to vote in the primary, where Sen. Warner is running against former federal budget director James C. Miller. And if these voters fail to turn out? “We’re toast/’ said U.S. Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R11th), Sen. Warner’s campaign chairman. Mark Rozell, associate professor at the University of Virginia, said that while Sen. Warner has major advantages, such as a broad base of support, money, high name recognition, and incumbency, he questions the Warner camp’s effectiveness in the race against Mr. Miller. He points to the fact that party primaries usually experience low turnout, wini pai anaia uvmg the most reliable voters — in this case, conservative GOP activists who support Mr. Miller. One such activist is State Republican Party Chairman Patrick McSweeney, who blames Sen. Warner for letting Ross Perot’s Virginia Irtdependent Party have an easier time of getting on the ballot for this year’s presidential election. Sen. Warner’s efforts for one of Col. North’s opponents, candidate Marshall Coleman, helped the independent party get more John Warner than 10 percent jof the vote in 1994, allowing it to get on the presidential ballot this year without getting thousands of petition signatures. “This concern has nothing to do with ideological purity,” McSweeney said. “It has everything to do with building See Warner, Page A-6 Budget Hearing Set for Monday Evening By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors will be holding its annual public hearing on the county budget next Monday evening at 7 p.m. The most controversial provision is an 8.7 percent increase in the real estate tax rate from 69 to 75 cents per $100. This will bring ih an additional $306,000 in revenue. All other taxes including the fire tax and personal property taxes will remain the same. The largest increase, $180,600 for the schools, has already been approved. The next largest increase, $111,555, is for public safety: just under $66,900 for the Sheriff’s Office, $14,500 for the jail, $19,300 for the office of the building inspector and E-911 coordinator, and just under $8,800 for animal control. Of the Sheriff’s Office increase about $32,000 is covered by an increase from the state Compensation Board. Much of the rest is to purchase a van to replace the one turned over to the Sheriff’s Office by the schools several years ago. Fees on telephone bills will cover most of the increase for building office because building inspector Richie Burke will be taking over responsibility for E-911, and the telephone fee has been reduced. RAWL is requesting an additional $8,000 to care for the dogs at the ani mal shelter. General government administration shows a $63,500 increase. About half of that, $38,000, covers about half the cost of doing another general reassessment. The other half of that cost will fall in the next budget year. The County Administrator’s office is scheduled for a $4,000 increase; a $4,700 increase is budgeted for the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office, $6,900 for the Treasurer’s Office, $3,100 for the Electoral Board and $6,100 for the Registrar’s Office. Some of those increases are also covered by the state Compensation Board. Judicial Administration is budgeted for a $10,400 increase: $1,900 for the Circuit Court, $4,400 for the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and $2,300 for the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. The budget for public works, which includes operation of the landfill, actually shows a decrease of $51,600. Maintenance of the landfill is budgeted for a $216,000 increase, but $263,000 for refuse collection has been zeroed out. On education, other than the public schools, the county has agreed to contribute $7,700 to construction of the Fauquier campus of Lord Fairfax Community College. The budget for community development shows a $17,300 increase. Most of that is for the Extension Serv ice, an additional $ 11,500. 'Traffic Calming' Program Brings Small Crowd By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Traffic Calming presentation at the high school Thursday sponsored by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and the Planning Commission attracted only a small crowd. Only two members of the Planning Commission, Chairman Mike Massie and Hampton District representative Susan Babcock, attended, and because of Mr. Massie’s dual role there were also two members of the Board of Supervisors in attendance, Mr. Massie and StonewallHawthom District representative Robert Anderson. Both boards adopted resolutions opposing a bypass for Sperryville and supported RLEP’s proposal to look at traffic calming as an alternative for Flint Hill and Woodville as well as Sperryville. Ian. Lockwood of J.P. Brasksma and Associates, a Canadian engineering firm, spent two days in Rappahannock County last week visiting the villages and traveling along the roads. He had been in Loudoun County at the T r S'- '\ ' I L Illustrations courtesy of Ian Lockwood Traffic calming measures illustrated clockwise from top left: rumble strips, pavement peninsula, flat top road hump, traffic island and chicanes. request of groups opposed to bypasses on U.S. 50 for Middleburg and Aldie. Actually Mr. Lockwood and Loudoun residents were looking at an 18-mile stretch of U.S. 50 from U.S. 15 west to Paris. In a series of day-long workshops residents had proposed a variety of traffic calming measures to slow traffic down going through the villages along U.S. 50, and maps of their work in Aldie and Upperville were on the wall of the high school auditorium for those attending the meeting to see. During a slide show and presentation using an overhead projector, Mr, Lockwood explained that traffic calming measures are used about every 400 yards to slow traffic. These measures range from installing rumble strips (sections of asphalt are replaced with cobblestone), to traffic circles and speed bumps or the longer speed humps. At intersections speed humps can be flattened and raised to sidewalk height, eliminating the need for curb cuts for handicapped access. The purpose of all of this is to slow down traffic going through villages or towns. Mr. Lockwood said “the concept was first developed in Europe. There road building had followed patterns familiar to -See Traffic, Page A-6

Students Learn Stock Investment Skills h By MELISSA DODSON JUppuhaaMck Newt Contributing Writer v Most students dream of being rich one day of at least of having enough money for gas. * Most RCHS students probably will not become millionaires, but they did have a chance to learn about bdw to make money in the stock market through a project sponsored by RCHS teachers and the 4-H Extension Service. One RCHS team placed third among high school teams in the state. Team members Mary Beth Williams, Katie Zindel, Sarah Gentry, Michelle Switzer and Rachel Koski invested their hypothetical $100,000 for 10 weeks and ended up with $108,486. On an annualized basis that amounts to a 42 percent return on investment. < They and their advisor, history teacher Roger Flinchum, received fecognition last Thursday at a Winners Reception at James Madison University sponsored by stockbroker firm Wheat First Securities in Harrisonburg. 1 The Extension Service supports the project by paying the $10 entry fee for each team to compete in the stock market game. RCHS had IS teams in the competition, and five of the top ten high-school teams in the state were from RCHS. All together there were 378 teams in the JMU district in the contest including elementary and middle, schools as well as high schools. Mr. Flinchum decided to test the theory that playing the market requires no more skill than monkeys throwing darts at newspapers. One team picked its stocks by throwing darts at newspapers taped to a bulletin board. It also made a profit, although not as large a one as RCHS’s winning * team. The darts team ended up with $103,306 putting them in fifth place Correction A Letter to the Editor from Hunt Harris in last week’s paper contained an error. The sentence should have read, “This was a true community cooperative effort in the finest sense — Rappahannock spirit at its best!” 7 would rather have them learn that with someone else's money. ’ — Roger Flinchum among the RCHS teams. The rest of the students chose stock by various strategies, studying newspapers and booklets and relying on their knowledge of companies. Mary Beth said her team stuck to companies selling products they and their friends use. They chose Nike, St. Ives, which makes a popular hair product, and Motorola. She said Motorola was chosen because teens are interested in the beepers it makes, but the stock did not do well, so they sold their investment in it and put more money in Nike. Using special forms similar to scantron sheets, sponsors filled out the team choices and sent them to Virginia Commonwealth University which does the computations. VCU returns computerized statements of how the teams were doing each week. The school received Standard and Poor’s Stock Market Encyclopedia. The teams are allowed to make changes in their investments only once a week. Mr. Flinchum said students learn how much money they can lose by frequent buying and selling since a 2 percent commission is charged when stock is bought or sold. The teams that do best, he said, usually are those that choose solid companies and stick with them throughout the 10 week period. “I would rather have them learn that with someone else’s money,” he added. “I am hoping students will learn how the stock market works. Then when they grow up they can invest themselves.” Math teacher Janet Long feels the program benefits her students also. “Students should learn from this project the importance of saving and investing,” she said. She wants her students to realize there are risks when investing in the stock market. Helen W. Smith, 4-H Extension Agent, said, “I’m really proud of the 1996 teams.” The Stock Market Game is part of 4-H curriculum enrichment. Its purpose is to teach youth about economics and business.

Wolf, R10th District, will sponsor a conference on increased drug use among young people from 9 a.m. until noon on Saturday, June 15 at Chantilly High School in Fairfax. “I had thought and believed we were winning the war on drugs,” Rep. Wolf said. “Drug use among teenagers had dropped in the late 1980s and early part of this decade. However, as I started to look closely at this issue, I learned that drug use among children and teenagers has skyrocketed over the last several years. “Drugs continue to exact a toll of epidemic proportion on the social, economic and moral faces of America. . . . Contrary to many assumptions, illicit drug use is not limited to large cities and urban areas. Illicit drug use has risen dramatically in large and small communities, in cities and towns across America. Drug problems exist right here in our own backyard. Our children are at risk.” The conference is open to the public, and Rep. Wolf is inviting everyone in the 10th District to attend. Guest speakers at the conference will be Gen. Barry McCaffrey, the director of the Office of National Drug Policy (commonly known as the “drug czar”) and Bill Oliver with Pride Parent Training, a national antidrug organization and “one of America’s foremost authorities on drug prevention in the home and workplace,” Rep. Wolf said.” Speakers from the community and. parent organizations as well as children affected by drugs in the past will also be on the program. The program will conclude with a question and answer period “which we hope will generate ideas and suggestions on how best to attack this problem,” Rep. Wolf said. “Let’s energize our community and commit our energies to do what needs to be done to win the war on drugs.” GET READY FOR THOSE GREAT SUMMER BAR-B-gUES GREEN GINGER FARM natural farm-raised beef NO HORMONES - NO ANTIBIOTIC FEEDS just grass, hay, grain and water - the way nature intended - whole steer+1/2 »teer ♦front or hind 1/4 ask about our special packages federally inspected Come visit our farm, in beautiful Rappahannock County. for information and brochure call _ 540-987-9203 Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department’s Annual Pi FUN!

Ian Lockwood of J.P. Brasksma and Associates, a Canadian engineering firm, presented a number of interesting concepts for alternatives to wider, faster roads and bypasses. Mr. Lockwood was in Virginia working for a coalition trying to avoid bypasses on the U.S. 50 corridor in Loudoun County. Traffic calming consists of a variety of means to slow traffic down other than posting lower speed limits. Both vertical and horizontal obstacles are erected, and drivers must slow down to negotiate these obstacles. Speed humps, both rounded and flat are vertical obstacles. Traffic circles and islands, chicanes and other traffic pinching measures are horizontal obstacles. The idea is both to slow down cars and trucks and to make the streets more inviting for pedestrians and bicyclists while making , stops at local businesses convenient for both drivers and pedestrians. Attractive greenery planted along the streets make them more inviting to residents and visitors. , It will be interesting to follow how this proposal works out in 1 Loudoun County. VDOT is likely to be very resistant to any such •proposals. This tact is completely counter to the usual thinking among ! highway planners, who believe in doing everything possible to > speed cars along their way and also believe any obstacle is likely to ;be a safety hazard. Traffic calming proponents claim that on the contrary these measures reduce traffic accidents. » If the Loudoun group succeeds in getting VDOT to accept traffic palming along the U.S. 50 corridor, then certainly Rappahannock ^County planners can try for similar action for the U.S. 522 corridor through the county. ' In the meantime the Town of Washington is ripe for such a pro■posal now. There is no major highway coming through town, but '•residents still perceive that drivers speed through town. Sheriff Gary Settle said his department is trying to respond to requests from [every village in the county for more enforcement of speed limits, 'but he lacks the manpower to satisfy everyone. » Traffic calming measures enforce lower speeds without the need 3for police constantly writing tickets. These measures also create jnore attractive village spaces. * VDOT is planning to resurface the streets in Washington as soon 4as work on extending the town water lines is completed. The new ^smooth asphalt is likely to lead to increased speeds. The Town Council ^should take a close look at traffic calming measures as a means of ■responding to the concerns of residents and businesses in town. Then if traffic calming is accepted in Loudoun County for the TJ.S. 50 corridor residents of the villages along U.S. 522 will have before tham an example of what such a proposal could do for Flint Hill, Sperryville or Woodville. 4 Free Speech Upheld To the Editor: Contrary to what you wrote in your May 22 editorial, I have never said anything or done anything to destroy the public school system. And I never will. I never bullied anyone or used scare tactics. I have been a responsible, participating member of this community. I have done nothing except to assert my constitutional rights under the First Amendment: The rights to free speech and peaceful assembly. Let me explain the background. The Superintendent of Schools and the School Board created a public issue of Goals 2000 funding by voting to accept this federal money and its requirements. They made this an issue , locally, not me. I think they made the wrong decision, and 1 wrote a letter to your paper explaining one reason why I thought it was an error. I addressed the issue and attacked no one in that letter. 1 was under the notion that reasonable people could discuss a public pol-' icy issue and attempt to convince others of the soundness of their positions. Your editorial makes it clear that this is not possible unless one’s position is politically correct. I am not politically correct, I have never been, and 1 probably never will be. However, 1 can still honor people who hold positions opposite of mine. Most people know very little about Goals 2000. So I contacted an education expert and organized a public meeting to inform people about it. That way, people could get facts to make up their own minds on this issue. That is the essence of everything I have done. There’s nothing wrong with people disagreeing on issues. That’s healthy. WALTER LONGYEAR Washington Letters Bullying Denied To the Editor: Where do you get off printing that I’m bullying people? It is ridiculous for you to say that I want to destroy the public school system. No one could possibly believe that. I represent many parents of children in Rappahannock schools. I certainly couldn’t represent their interests and, at the same time, want to destroy the school system used by my family, neighbors and constituents. As an elected official, I have responsibilities to the public. I’ve asked some tough questions, but I’m no bully. It seems to me that the real bullies are you and the school administration — for according to Ron Makela’s letter of April 24th, Dr. Gangel presented a resolution “asking” Gov. Allen to apply for Goals 2000 funding; when in fact, it was part of the Democratic controlled general Assembly plan to force (bully) Gov. Allen into accepting the money. Gov. Allen vetoed this language and the Democrats threatened to sue him; we are yet to see the end of all this. Now your May 22nd editorial is nothing less than an attempt to silence me in order to protect your friends. /""Yeah, ( aaand it’s \ pedestrian friendly” Our Rappahannock News StafT Photo by Cindy Mahan The wet Memorial Day weekend weather did not bother these Canada geese and their six goslings, one with its head under water, on a pond in Jenkins Hollow. i You also incorrectly tried to tie Mr. Longyear and myself together with the Goals 2000 informational meeting of May 29th and the requested Supervisor’s hearing on the matter. Believe it or not we did not act in unison but independently as we are both able to think and act on our own convictions. I may have set myself up for criticism but not an attack. You owe me and the public a chance to debate this on-going issue in an unbiased manner or your published editorial stand is meaningless. The School Board and the superintendenjt are solely responsible for this controversy as they are the ones who publicly sought to coerce our Governor in the beginning. Then Mr. Makela brings me into the fray with his April 24 letter which incorrectly stated I was the only constituent that complained to him about Goals 2000. 1 made one campaign promise to the people of Jackson District and that was to work hard to represent them. I also took an oath of office to uphold the U.S. Constitution, the constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia and all local laws and ordinances. Now it seems that I’m dealing with a newspaper editor and others who have not read or don’t understand the language of these precious documents or the founders intent of the role of government. It is not bullying to ask elected and appointed officials to be accountable; and if you want me to back away from my previous stated obligations, you can forget it as I have no authorization to do so and can not! I suppose your editorial means that I won’t be receiving the Rappahannock News 1996 Citizen of the Year Award. That doesn’t bother me in the least because I care more about working hard for the people 1 represent than any favorable words you might print about me in your paper. On the other hand, you have no right to print lies about me. So, let’s sit the record straight: I’m in favor of quality education for our children, and I’m no bully. RON FRAZIER Amissville Dog Lives To the Editor: I just wanted to inform the person who hit our dog last Monday, April 29, on Route 647 outside Flint Hill, that Simon is going to be OK. His pelvis was broken in two places but he’ll be up and running again by the end of the summer. I only wish you had stopped when you hit him and informed me so that his pain could have been eased sooner. I wouldn’t have blamed you. Even though we have an invisible fence, Simon is known to cross the road on occasion, and I’m sure that your hitting him couldn’t be avoided. Please remember that lawfully you are supposed to stop if you hit a dog. Morally, it’s just a kind thing to do. ELLEN B. JOBACK Flint Hill Baseball Supporters Thanked To the Editor: When I accepted the position of baseball coach at RCHS, I was not aware that I would also be the grounds crew, maintenance crew, public relations coordinator, weekend baseball retriever, equipment manager etc. But don’t let me mislead you; I have enjoyed every moment of it. I had a great assistant coach and a great group of young men to work with. But these responsibilities would have been far more difficult on me had it not been for the people who unconditionally donated their time, equipment and patience. I’d like to take this opportunity to say that without their help, we would not have been as successful this season. Thank you, to all or our fans and volunteers, but most especially to the following supporters and contributors: Charles and Jeff Jenkins, Bonnie Lofton, Scott Schlosser, Doug Baumgardner, Henry Digges, Clint Wines, Lee Settle, Carl Payne, RCHS administrators, students, and faculty, and my son Ben Hackney. DONN HACKNEY Washington Thanks Expressed To the Editor: The Washington Baptist Church Spring Event was the most successful one we have ever had. We want to thank the Rappahannock News for publicity, the businesses in Culpeper, Warrenton, Front Royal, Leesburg, Sperryville, Flint Hill, Amissville and Washington who donated items so freely and all the hard working members of the church. Mr. Carl Holsinger of Leesburg gave our church _ a new Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner which the church needed plus four reconditioned ones for us to sell. We thank all who helped in any way. RUTH CLARK Publicity Chairperson Thanks Offered To the Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our friends and co-workers and Brandon’s friends, employers and co-workers for their kind words of sympathy, prayers, letters and contributions. Your support to our family during this trying time has been greatly appreciated and helped us * cope with Brandon’s untimely passing. We would also like to thank the Amissville, Washington and Castleton rescue squads for their valiant rescue efforts at the accident scene. CALVIN, LYNN, TERRA and TRAVIS HUDSONPILLAR , Fairfax Masonic Cemetery Needs Help To the Editor: Last winter witnessed the passing from this life of a number of elderly citizens of Rappahannock county, among them was Gibson Wharton, who died at age 79. Gibson was a lifelong resident who for many years owned and ran the old Hampton Inn on Route 211. He was a veteran of the Second World War and a member of the local Washington Masonic Lodge #78. It was as a Mason that Gibson had managed the Washington Masonic Cemetery for 26 years. Just prior to his death he and I met several times to discuss the future of the cemetery, hoping to continue his years of constructive involvement and carry out the many repairs and improvements which he and I had discussed. Gibson was relieved to have this burden lifted from his shoulders and he encouraged me to do my best to maintain the cemetery as a place of peace and beauty for all mankind, more especially the residents of Rappahannock County. The Masonic Cemetery is just north of town on the Fodderstack Road. It adjoins the Old Washington Cemetery (1849) which fronts on tjie' road, and the Washington Benevolent Society Cemetery (1877), which is owned by the First Baptist Church. The Old Washington Cemetery is covered with weeds and piles of clay and is essentially abandoned, with few grave markers in evidence. Part of our improvement program will be to restore the ground and any markers, install a board fence around the area and plant some Hemlock trees along the road. A small plaque will identify the area as a cemetery and give some pertinent historical information. The Masonic Cemetery covers four acres on a beautiful knoll and sees quite a lot of activity. There are usually one to two burials a month and many visitors, some of whom take the extra time to spruce things up by tending grave sites and picking up trash and old flowers, which is certainly appreciated. A walk through this peaceful place is like a history lesson of Rappahannock County. If you can think of a local family name then the odds are that some of their ancestors are burifed here. Many of the graves are from the late 1800’s and many are war veterans, including a local Civil War hero, Charles H. Dear, who fought with Mosby in several local battles. The cemetery was deeded to the Masonic lodge in 1926, with an additional two acres added in 1949. The planned improvements for the next year include clearing the property line and installing a board fence, refurbishing the tool shed and repairing the roof, filling in and seeding low spots over graves, removing some of the diseased and dying trees and shrubs throughout the cemetery and reinstalling a gate at the entry to cut down on loitering. These improvements will decrease the long term maintenance costs and make the current mowing and weeding process easier, since the fence line is badly overgrown and impossible to mow. This is an ambitious program and will put a real strain on the cemetery funds, which now produce enough money to keep the grass and weeds down with little extra to spare. We are asking the public for their help in raising the money for the materials and labor to carry out this work. There are also several people who were in the process of purchasing lots through Gibson Wharton who should contact me at 937-7416 to discuss th<£ status of those sales so that we can get their paperwork in order. There will be no further lot sales for the foreseeable future until the survey of existing conditions is complete, which should be mid 1997. Any donations or correspondence can be sent to The Washington Masonic Cemetery Fund, P.O. Box 302, Washington, Va. 22747. Thank you very much for your support SAM CL1FFTON Chairman, Board of Trustees, Washington Masonic Cemetery

The two mid-fields featured Major and Minor League play, and the Babe Ruth players held court in the front field. In the Minor League R.L. Rider and Co.’s Dodgers defeated David and Donna Sheffield’s Indians in both games of a double header. In the first game Zachary Tamburello was the winning pitcher with six strike outs as the Dodgers gained an 18-6 victory. Alex Hammer led the hitting with a double and a home run, scoring five batters. Joseph Davis had a triple, and Kenneth Dunn had a double. In the second game, using a pitching machine the Dodgers prevailed 23-12. For the Indians Ben Hahn, Dustin White and Ethan Berry had three hits each. Brian Taylor and Malcolm Sonnett had two hits. For the Dodgers Jacob Dodson had four hits, Alex Hammer, Jospeh Davis, Kevin Burton and Kyle Wesselhoff had three hits each.

► Traffic From Page A-l Americans. Roads had been widened Snd straightened to accommodate cars and trucks. This created barriers to village life as the streets became threatening to pedestrians and bicyclists. Bypasses were then put in to move traffic around the towns, but money became the limiting factor. Then European countries instituted traffic calming measures instead, especially in Denmark and the Netherlands. The towns and villages were friendlier to shopowners and pedestrians particularly the elderly and children, Mr. Lockwood said. In North America traffic calming has been used in Canada and in the United States in urban areas. The contract to develop a plan for the U.S. 50 corridor is a first for a rural area in the United States, Mr. Lockwood said. He suggested community members develop similar plans for the villages along U.S. 522. He knows that getting VDOT approval for such plans will not be easy. Highway engineers like to limit debate to issues of capacity, speed and travel time; other issues of access, privacy and equity are left out, he said. Highway engineers say things like “improvements are required to enhance the level of service to meet the forecasted traffic demand,” he said. “There’s no real demand for traffic. The level of service is defined as how well cars and trucks are accommodated, not peace in our homes. We need to expand the debate.” Increasing highway capacity leads to more development which then requires more highway capacity, he said. “Do we want to accommodate this trend? There are limiting factors — the ozone layer, deaths on the freeways, the amount of space taken up especially in built up areas, loss to communities — but the most important limiting factor is money. You don’t have enough money in the United States to made the bridges, let alone the freeways.” He said new federal legislation says “states have to look at flexibility. Designs of roads must meet community needs.” Highways are “hard space,” he said. “They are repetitive, hostile, lifeless, not a place you like to be, except in a car. 1 don’t think hard environments match Rappahannock County. The four-lane is out of place.” In contrast soft spaces are parks, markets and traffic-calmed streets, he said. In places in Europe and Canada where traffic calming has been used businesses and residents like it, Mr. Lockwood said. “It’s worked in other countries; it is likely to be successful here too.” Principles of traffic calmin are to slow traffic, improve real and perceived safety for non-motorized users, incorporate the preferences of the people using the area, provide more trees and plants, promote walking, bicycling and buses and maximize access to the streets. He said traffic engineers claim straightening and leveling roads improve safety, but, in fact, measures that slow traffic improve' safety. “When you design a road like a gun barrel, people drive like bullets,” he said. Police and rescue squads.like traffic calming because speed limits are self enforcing, and there are fewer accidents. Those accidents that do happen are less likely to be fatal. With traffic calming there are 50 percent fewer crashes, he said. In conclusion he said, “Rappahannock County is beautiful, tn SOUTH CAROLINA SOUTH CAROLINA SOUTH CAROLINA SOUTH CAROLINA Take off to the Myrtle Beach area lor the 1996 South Carolina Smiling Faces.

There are no congestion problems and no additional capacity is desired. That applies to small roads as much as to highways. Insist on keeping it the way it is. Faster roads attract sprawl, traffic and trucks. 522 and and 231 is a very convenient north-south truck route. They want to spend your money to pay to have the road ruined. To do nothing is not an option. You need to be pro-active.” He advised those in the audience to “think of the roads as assets, not conduits for trucks and cars, avoid making roads wide flat and straight, and consider traffic calming.” He said the county should actively discourage through trucks with legislation or a weigh, station. “If trucks come through, you will never get them out.” He said the bridge on U.S. 522 in Sperryvrlle should be restored, not replaced. “It’s a one-of-a-kind bridge.” He suggested narrowing the streets in Sperryville and making the turn as narrow as trucks can maneuver .going very slowly. “You are saying they can come through, but on our terms. We’re discouraging long trips and truck traffic but not banning it. I don’t think we can continue this auto dependent life style.” ► Warner From Page A-l « a strong political party, which is impossible to do when prominent elected officials simultaneously demand the privilege of party affiliation and the right to disregard and even sabotage their own party.” But if Republican presidential hopeful Bob Dole is concerned about the Perot party, he hasn’t taken it out on Sen. Warner. Sen. Dole endorsed Sen. Warner at a campaign stop in Falls Church several weeks ago. But Sen. Dole’s endorsement is not enough for some staunch party loyalists. “Anger is a strong motivator in politics, and there’re a lot of angry Republicans out there right now,” Mr. ’ Rozell said.

Johnson stand beside a r World War II training byplane at the DARE Day Air Show at the Manassas Airport. c “There’s no doubt about it that the middle-ground voter is behind Warner,” he added. “The big question is whether they’re motivated.” An 18-year veteran of the Senate, John Warner, won his third term in 1990 with 82 percent of the vote. A poll last year found Sen. Warner more popular with Democrats than Republicans — a result of his campaign against North’s Senate bid two years ago. But now Sen. Warner is positioning himself as a traditional conservative in his own campaign. Rep. Davis is optimistic. “It’s never been done before, but we’re going to make a strong effort to bring out the occasional Republican voter and independents and Democrats. I think a number of people feel the Senator’s independence is worthy of their support.” He added that while Sen. Warner is “basically conservative, he tempers that with a concern for all.” Rep. Davis readily admits that his job as campaign chairman was not sought after by many fellow Republicans. “There were a lot of people heading for the hills,” he said. “But I don’t sit on the sidelines,” he said, explaining his support for the senator. “Warner’s the epitome of what a U.S. senator ought to be. He puts the state and community above the party. “He’s been effective and I want to > see him re-elected.” A former Secretary of the Navy under Richard Nixon, Sen. Warner is the second most senior member of the Armed Services Committee, and has taken a keen interest in defense and national security issues, bringing business to Virginia’s defense contractors. He has joined conservatives pushing for a balanced budget, co-sponsoring the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, and less government regulation. Calling Sen. Warner “a very principled guy,” Rep. Davis acknowledges the enmity many conservatives feel toward Sen. Warner and said his decision to oppose Col. North “was probably a net loss.” Mr. Rozell surmises that Sen. Warner knew he was going to lose more politically than he would gain in speaking out against Col. North. “All he had to do is say he supports the nominee and then do nothing — he wouldn’t be having all this trouble now. “We’re all taught to be cynical,” Mr. Rozell added, “but sometimes politicians rise above it all.” ► Miller From Page A-l chairman, U.S. Rep. Tom Davis (R11th), will have some “political baggage” after the primary. “Tom Davis has not done himself any good either. You take a calculated risk with these races and people are not going to forget,” Mr. Farris said. Other Miller supporters disagree. Mike Thompson, Mr. Miller’s Fairfax County campaign manager and former Davis worker, said Rep.Davis should not be hurt by his support of Sen. Warner. “This is a friendly disagreement,” Mr. Thompson said. Mr. Thompson said Fairfax County and Virginia Beach are keys A lvAiUA.AA.ii U AAi AUi AiiiAlAiii irai«i«7. 15th Annua!

He said he is not anti-Warner. “This is a pro-Jim Miller effort on my part,” he said. And while State Republican Party Chairman Patrick McSweeney said he has to stay neutral in the primary and is not endorsing candidates, he said Sen. Warner has worked to “seriously undermine” the Republican party. “Miller is a party loyalist who has worked hard to get Republicans elected,” Mr. McSweeney said. Besides the loyalty issue Mr. Miller has attacked Sen. Warner’s record on issues such as abortion and gun control, saying, “No conservative r would have voted like John Warner has.” Mr. Miller has pledged to take a hard line on crime and the country’s judicial system. He has blamed “liberal” parole boards and judges for the early release of inmates and has sug- , gested they be made “personally liable” to the next victim of the parolee. “If the criminal hurts someone during the time the criminal could have been in jail, why shouldn’t the judge or parole board pay for the harm they caused ?” Mr. Miller said. “Ask the police how often they have to rearrest criminals with a rap sheet that has multiple entries. Ask police when they let violent criminals go early.” Mf.

The adult cicada emerges overnight from a split in the top of Jhe nymphal skin, taking approximately one hour to do so. They then stay in one place to allow the wings to dry, and then fly up into a nearby tree. The adults are large and can be two inches long, with a black body, orange-red eyes and orange-red wing veins. Once up in a tree, the adults turn their energies to mating, which is why the males were singing in the first place — to attract the females. The females are quiet. They deposit from 400-600 eggs, through their ovipositor, into four inch long slits in the twigs and branches of trees. The nymphs hatch in six to ten weeks, drop to the ground, and tunnel their way to the roots to feed for the next 17 years. The 17-year cicadas have the longest life cycle of the cicada broods. Others have 13-year lffe cycles, and some “annual” cicadas have between four and seven year life cycles. They are often called locusts, harvest flies and dog day cicadas, though they are not really locusts; locusts are grasshoppers. Though their numbers are great, probably because they feed on the plant juices for such a short period of time, at a time when the trees are very healthy, the cicadas does not normally do damage. They can do some damage in orchards, though, said Mr. Love. Laying the eggs in the fruiting wood can weaken the wood, and the branch or twig can snap when the fruit matures. Parasitic wasps, flies and predatory mites can attack the cicadas’ eggs, and birds can attack the adult cicadas! They may be attacked by a fungal disease also.

• Community News •Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1996 RCHS Students Win Coveted Scholarships By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappakaapock Newt Contributing Writer For the second year in a row, a senior from Rappahannock County High School has been selected for the prestigious Echols Scholars Program at the University of Virginia. Jim Clark is the Echols Scholar this year, following the footsteps of Shannon Eastham last year. ' All students admitted to the ffeshfnan class of UVa are automatically considered for the Echols program, but only about 10 percent get it. Charles Vandersee, dean of the Echols program, says that urban magnet schools like Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax usually supply a[ disproportionate number of Echols Scholars. “It’s definitely a compliment to Rappahannock County High School that such a small school has had a student in our coveted Echols Scholars Program for two years in a row,” says Dr. Vandersee. Dr. Vandersee says that his admissions officers are alert to the fact that* rural schools don’t have the same range of course offerings as the big urban schools and take that into consideration when awarding the scholarship. “We look at what was available and ask ourselves whether the student made the most of it. We depend heavily on students’ essays to tell us what stimulation they’ve been getting,” said Mr Vandersee. He added that his I admissions officers sometimes give more weight to activities outside of school, such as educational family trips or community activities, than to school activities, if the school’s offerings are limited. Since only 10 percent of the incoming freshman get to be Echols Scholars, it is clear that Shannon and Jim beat the odds, since Shannon was one of only three Rappahannock students admitted to UVa in her class of ’95 and Jim was one of four admitted this year. In an earlier interview with the Rappahannock News, Jim made it clear that he wanted to attend Princeton University. He gained admission, but Princeton offered him no financial aid, which put it out of reach for his family, since it takes more than $30,000 a year to attend Princeton. In this year’s Echols information package, however, there is a quote from an Echols Scholar that relates directly to Jim’s disappointment. “The student says he has a message to all those who got into Ivy League universities but who couldn’t afford to go,” says Dr. Vandersee. “The student said he came to UVa feeling frustrated and resentful, but that by his second semester he knew he had come to the right place,” Dr. Vandersee said. The student found the faculty to be accessible, the courses to be challenging, and the students to be great. - Shannon, who recently returned home for the summer after her first year at UVa, praises the Echols program for giving her the freedom to explore her wide-ranging interests. She was able to take an upperlevel biology course with an acclaimed professor simply because she was an Echols Scholar. She has also enjoyed living in a dormitory reserved for Echols Scholars. The Echols program confers no money. Instead it offers these advantages to students: • Freedom from having to take required courses. This is a feature that Jim likes, as he has no desire for further English courses. • The option to graduate from UVa without having to declare a major. This gives students much freedoiji to explore diverse subjects, something that pre-med students like Shannon find particularly helpful. • A personal adviser. • First crack at registering for courses, which almost guarantees Echols Scholars a place in the most prized classes. • The opportunity to live with other Echols Scholars in the first year, which often proves to the basis of enduring friendships among the most motivated students on campus. Jim already knows that one of his roommates next year will be a friend he met at the Governor’s School, who also was tapped to be an Echols Scholar. Dr. Vandersee said his admissions committee will be watching to see if Rappahannock County High School continues producing Echols Scholars. Photo courtesy‘of the Middle Street Gallery Thicker Hill’s ‘Route 231/Rappahannock County’ will be part of the June show. Gallery To Show Landscapes Landscapes of Piedmont Virginia, especially Madison, Greene, and Rappahannock counties, as seen through the unique perspective of the monotype print image will go on view May 31 and continue through June 30 at The Middle Street Gallery in Washington. “A World of One’s Own: ten years of making monotypes” is a one-person show by gallery artistmember Tucker Hill of Etlan, who 1 will present 28 of his prints showing the evolution of his unusual technique over the years. An artist’s reception will be . held from 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 2. Mr. Hill’s monotypes have been selected for numerous juried shows in the mid-Atlantic region, including the annual “Art on Paper” Exhibition at the Maryland Federation of Art’s Gallery on the circle, Annapolis, in 1992, 1993, and 1994 and the Irene Leache Memorial Exhibition at The Chrysler Museum in Norfolk in 1990 and 1994. Mr. Hill has been creating sitespecific black and white monotypes of Piedmont Virginia rural landscapes since 1985, using this simple and direct monotype process that results in a single, unique image. He begins by making a freehand sketch, based on a photograph selected from his large collection, the sketch guides the inking of a smooth print plate, which is then run through an etching press with damp print paper to create the one-of-a-kind monotype. The Middle Street Gallery is an artist-run, non-profit gallery, located next to The Inn at Little Washington, and is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday through Sunday. For more information, call 675-3440. Bluegrass Festival Coming Graves’ Mountain Festival of Music, May 30 through Junel, will present 18 of the country’s top bluegrass bands representing some of the most lasting groups and some of the newest. “The hills of Madison County will be ringing again,” says Jimmy Graves, owner of Graves’ Mountain Lodge, in Syria. “My idea is to reach as many bluegrass fans as I possibly can. I know this year’s lineup will do just that.” Bands appearing on Thursday, Patriotic RCES Concert June 6 The Rappahannock County Elementary School Choir and Band will perform on Thursday evening, June 6. The theme musical, “Let's Hear it for America,” is a patriotic program bubbling over with patriotic decorations, a rap about our Presidents accompanied by an ensemble of xylophone and percussion instruments, band selections, choral selections with choreography, and a finale with the audience singing along. The fifth-grade teachers are working with their students on the script: Mrs. Harriet Rosenblatt is working with her visual art students to draw and cut out the sets and to display patriotic works of art; Mrs. Gubler is working with her G/T kids by making some of the props needed for the show; Mrs. Michelle Moncrief is preparing her band; and Mrs. Melinda Russell is teaching the choral music and choreography to all of her 5th, 6th and 7th grade students. All of these teachers are working together for a common goal. Bring your family and friends to the show on the RCES gymtorium at 7:30 p.m. May 30 are James Bailey and Company; David Parmley, Scott Vestal and Continental Divide; Charlie Waller and the Country Gentlemen; Laurie Lewis and The Grant Street Band; and Mac Wiseman and Bill Emerson. Friday’s show begins with a Graves’ Mountain Music Festival favorite The Larry Stephenson Band. Other artists appearing Friday are The Dry Branch Fire Squad, Larry Sparks and The Lonesome Ramblers, The Cox Family, Mr; Stanley and The Clinch Mountain Boys, and Bird Tyme Out. The show will close Friday night with a Ralph Stanley-Larry Sparks reunion. Mr. Sparks was a member of The Clinch Mountain Boys in the late ’60s. Saturday offers a full 12 hours of -music, starting with Front Range. Lou Reid and Carolina, The Virginia Squires, The New Coon Creek Girls, Tony Rice, The Lonesome River Band and The Whites with Jerry Douglas complete the bill for Saturday. The Squires will be joined by John Sterling for the all-star jam that traditionally closes the Graves’ Mountain Festival of music. --- .it .-W^ Photo courtesy of Bonnie Price Lofton Shannon Eastham and Jim Clark have qualified for the Echols Scholars Prograqi. Biology Class Heads for D.C. By CAROLE MAHONEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Rappahannock County High School teacher Patti Waddell is on the cutting edge. She created her own information superhighway of sorts long before that term became a household word. Every year for the past seven, she’s loaded a school bus with her advanced biology students and headed out on U.S. 211 for a two hour trek to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and the National Museum of Health and Medicine in the Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C. She visited the first time because her past principal, John Toth, also a biology teacher, suggested she give the 134year-old museum a try. She keeps coming back because the public affairs office of the AFIP plans the tour around the students’ interests and the museum offers students a chance to view objects and artifacts they cannot see anywhere else, in an educational context they will not find anywhere else. She will continue to bring students as long as they maintain an interest in health and medicine, Mrs. Waddell explained during her most recent museum tour on May 17. “Plus they find out so much information while they’re here, and the staff is so helpful. Once we were showed angioplasty on video tape. It was real informative.” Mrs. Waddell and her students witnessed the heart diagnostic test procedure during one of many behind the scenes tours arranged each year for her groups. This trip, Mrs. Waddell’s students received an overview of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, heard a presentation from the Medical Examiner’s Office, toured a hyperbaric chamber, toured the human development/forensic imaging center and toured the museum’s special neuroanatomy collections before.exploring the exhibit galleries whereka few f students, those particularly interested in medical careers, lingered at the Billing’s Microscope Collection. Depicting more than 300 years of evolution from the simplest to most sophisticated instrument, the Billing’s is the largest and most comprehensive collection of its kind under one roof. •Typically, “Living in a World with AIDS,” an exhibit that combines science with an examination of how AIDS and HIV continues to change our lives, garnered a lot of attention. But for Mrs. Waddell’s class in particular, “Human Body/Human Being,” the museum’s introduction to human biology that makes the connection between personal lifestyle choices and health, was the most captivating. It provides the perfect opportunity to see firsthand exactly what they are reading about in class. You do not have to be a biology student to appreciate or learn from the museum’s exhibits. One look at a care fully preserved coal miner’s lung and there is no mistaking the term “black lung disease.” Need some extra incentive to kick the habit? Just compare the smoker’s lung on display along with a healthy specimen. History buffs should enjoy exploring the museum’s section on Civil War Medicine. The students were very impressed with Capt. Glen Wagner, MD, the medical examiner who talked about how the office conducts medica) investigations of crimes and disasters — gunshot wounds, explosions, fires, airplane crashes. According to Mrs. Waddell the trip is a boon to those with a special interest in the health and medical fields. She has the satisfaction of knowing she has steered some kids in the right direction. And as long as she is doing the steering, she will continue to point them to the AFIP and Health Museum. “I can’t think of a better place to take them,” she said. m Photo courtesy of Patti Waddell RCHS students watch as Bill Disher from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology explains the development of human embryos during the Biology II field trip. 1 Roles Challenge Characters By ALLISON LOFTON Rappuhaanock .News Contributing Writer Twelve Angry Jurors is an intense play that demands a lot of concentration and emotion from the 12 Rappahannock High School students who play the jurors. There is a diverse range of characters played by students whose personalities are mostly the opposite of their roles. For example, sophomore Mike Baader is very sweet and is not one to get up and speak his piece all the time. But in the play, Mike portrays a loud-mouthed bigot. It is a part that he has a lot of fun with, because he seems to be trying on another personality. Senior Jason Weekly does an outstanding job of playing a character who demonstrates constant hatred for the teenaged boy who is on trial for the murder of his father. Part of the hatred Stems from the character’s own son, who is around the same age. It is not in Jason’s actual personality to have so much anger built up inside of him, but somehow Jason is convincing as this hate-filled man. Jason’s nemesis is a character played by Nathan Flinchum, a junior. As the play unfolds, the characters played by Jason and Nathan clash repeatedly. Although Nathan comes across as calm in the beginning, he too is eventually swept up in the raw emotions of the play. Junior John Arnold plays the most level-headed character, an upper-class businessman who worked hard for everything he got. Several times he keeps Jason and Nathan from tearing each other apart. John seems perfectly suited to this role, as if one day he might be such a businessman. Though the student actresses have slightly less of a role in the play than their male counterparts, they seem comfortable in a play that was originally written for all males. An example of one who really lights up the stage is Myriam Lathuille, the exchange student from France. She plays a witty, sarcastic woman from an ad agency. She is the only one on the stage who gets to have a sense of humor. All these characters add up to a wonderfully dramatic theatrical performance. The plot constantly shifts, and the characters reveal new qualities or prejudices in each act. Members of the public who come to this play will find it stimulates selfreflection. Twelve Angry Jurors will be performed at 7:30 p m. on Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1, in t^ie auditorium of Rappahannock County High School. Tickets, will cost $5 and will be available at the door.

Health Hint: Lack of exercise, a high protein diet, and lack of sunlight will cause the bones to lose calcium, especially if the protein is meat (due to the high sulfure content of meat). Then the bones become brittle and break easily (osteoporosis). The use of baking powder and soda, in baked goods or in the preparation of vegetables, destroys vitamins, and irritates the stomach lining! The water in which vegetables, legumes, etc. are cooked, contains vitamins and should not be discarded. Freeze and put in soups.

Reception for Artist at Thistle Hill Thistle Hill B&B Inn is pleased to announce a reception for the artists, at 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. June 9. Local artist Carol Vogel, founder and director of Shimmering Meadows Studio has been drawing and painting since childhood. A native Washingtonian, she studied art at American University while majoring in fine arts. More recently she has studied at the Art League School in Old Town Alexandria and privately with several prominent portrait artist. Her interests while artistically broad, have been focused on representation of the human face and body. Her work has appeared in numerous juried art exhibitions an garnished several awards including first prized winner in the 1996 Fauquier Artists’ Alliance Art Show. Currently she spends her time painting and drawing portraits on commission and painting the landscape and flora in Slate Mills where she resides. Shimmering Meadows Studio, an affiliate of the Art League School is bringing art instruction to the area in the form of workshop and classes. Paulette Marshall of Arlington “does not remove any weed from her garden until she has identified it and painted it.” A guest at Thistle Hill in 1990, she and her husband have returned to Rappahannock County, on a regular basis. “Bob” Marshall’s family has owned property in Slate Mills for many years, and the couple are now building a home there. Paulette (also a librarian in the DC area) has used the opportunity to draw the local flora, including a wonderful pencil drawing of a thistle for Thistle Hill. She was invited to do a private show for the Audobon Society in 1994 and most currently had a successful private exhibit of botanical watercolors at the invitation of the Fairfax County Park Authority and the Friends of Green Spring Gardens Park at Green Spring Manor House in Alexandria. Paulette also does cityscapes and other subjects, but it is her “Mystery Plants” that have provided here with her most enjoyment. Paulette draws with pencil and prefers traditional watercolor techniques. She and her husband look forward to the time they can move into their new home in the country. The artists works will remain on exhibit and'sale at Thistle Hill Inn on Rt.522, near Boston until July 7. New Computer Program Offered At Lord Fairfax Community College A certificate program offered for the first time this fall at Lord Fairfax Community College will prepare students to become administrators, managers, or maintenance engineers for computer Local Area Networks (LANs), or simply to understand their own computers at home. Five courses, the first two of which will Be offered in the fall, comprise LFCC’s Network Engineer Certificate Program, which equips students to either further their education in computers or take a national exam certifying their proficiency. The program focuses on Novell computer networks, which currently occupy 86 percent of the business LAN computer market, according to Doug Shrier, coordinator for computer services for LFCC. For example, the 260 personal computers at Lord Fairfax Community College are tied together to form a LAN, which in turn is tied to the Virginia state system, and from there, can access the Internet, Shrier said. The curriculum for the new program was developed by surveying business and industry groups in the region to understand their needs. Unlike previous computer courses at Lord Fairfax Community College, which were mostly theory-based, the new program is “a little more specific, geared to Novell, and they’re all lab,” Shrier said. Registration for the Monday and Thursday night classes is limited. Open registration at Lord Fairfax Community College begins Aug. 20.

Select Quality Plants By DR. DIANE RELF Eitmioa ConiHimr Horticvlturbt When selecting plants, examine the root system, form, shape, and proportions of each plant you consider, whether container grown, balled and burlapped, or bare root, said Diane Relf, Virginia Cooperative Extension consumer horticulturist. In container-grown plants, the root system should be well established, but not to the point of outgrowing the container or being rootbound. If roots are coiled around one another, are circling the surface of the container, or are coming out of the drain holes, the plant is probably rootbound. Be Sure Rootball of Balled-and-Burlapped Compact and Firm Check the rootballs of balled-andburlapped plants. Balled-and Burlapped plants are grown in the ground, then rootballs are dug and wrapped in burlap for shipping. The rootball of a balled-and-burlapped plant should be compact and firm. If it is loose or cracked, the root system may be damaged. Also, make sure the trunk of the plant is not damaged. Bare-root plants have the soil washed or shaken from the roots. Be sure the roots are not crushed or broken. Good-quality, bare-root plants have moi§t roots, not dry, brittle ones. Select Trees and Shrubs that Have Full, Natural Shapes As you select plants, consider form and shape. Look for trees and shrubs with full, natural shapes. Avoid any with major bare spots caused by missing or broken limbs. Good form is a sign of quality and care. Always select plants with good form so, as they mature, they grow into an attractive, natural shape. Misshapen trees and plants only look more awkward as they grow. Closely related to form and shape are the proportions of a plant. The trunks of healthy, well-formed plants are straight in the ball and container. The plant should not have slanted, twisted, or deformed stems. Quality garden centers usually offer a wide selection of healthy, well-formed plants. Dr. Diane Relf is a horticulture specialist with Virginia Cooperative Extension and is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech.

However, the American Lung association of Virginia (ALAV) warns that for many Virginians who live in highly polluted areas, exercise can lead to serious health problems. During Clean Air Month, ALAV is drawing attention to the link between air pollution and its effects on lung health. “While exercising, we are more vulnerable to air pollutants.because we breathe more air, drawing it deeply into our lungs,” said Kirk E. Hippenstell, MD, ALAV President. Research has found that air pollution can reduce breathing ability and cause chest pain, coughing, wheezing and other physical irritation. Children, the elderly, pregnant women, asthma sufferers and others with lung disease must be particularly careful when exercising outdoors during high air pollution days. Exposure to air pollution while exercising can be reduced by following these simple guidelines: • Avoid exercise and strenuous outdoor activity midday or in the afternoon when ozbne pollution levels are highest. » Avoid congested streets and rush hour traffic since motor vehicles produce high levels of carbon monoxide. • Be aware of the quality of air you breathe by following the ozone advisory in newspapers and weather reports.
