Grand jury indictments By TODD FORTUNE Rappahannock News Staff Writer A Rappahannock County grand jury handed down indictments for three individuals on term day, May 10. • Brenda Lee Fugatt of Front Royal was indicted on one count of possession of PCP. She was arrested in December, 1998. Fugatt was released on a $3000 personal recognizance bond, and is scheduled to appear in court on June 3. • Dennis C. Woodward of Amissville was indicted separate charges of unauthorized use of a vehicle, and failure to return a vehicle. The offenses occurred on September 15, 1998 and February 16, 1999. Woodward was released on a $3000 personal recognizance bond for the failure to return charge, and an existing bond on the unauthorized use charge was continued. He has a June 3 court date. • The grand jury indicted David H. Determan of Locust Grove on five different charges: trespassing, trespassing after having been forbidden to do so; and three counts of larceny. Judge Carleton Penn ordered a $1000 personal recognizance bond on each of the trespassing charges, and continued existing bonds on each of the larceny charges. Determan’s court date is set for June 3. € Sentences handed down by Circuit Court • Edward Garfield Burke, III of Stanley, received a five year suspended sentence for a guilty plea on a charge of manufacturing marijuana. Burke was arrested last year on Labor Day weekend after an undercover officer discovered that Burke was growing marijuana plants in northern Rappahannock County. The suspension of sentence is contingent upon Burke submitting to periodic and unannounced drug testing. His driver’s license was also suspended for six months. • Jesse Earl Pond III of Sperryville was sentenced after pleading guilty to drinking while operating a motor vehicle and possession of cocaine. Both incidents occurred in September, 1998. Crime this week Teen escapes wreck without injury A 16 year old juvenile escaped iryury when he crashed his 1994 Jeep on Route 628 near Route 641 in Flint Hill. The accident occurred on the evening of May 3. According to State Police reports, the vehicle swerved off of the road while negotiating a curve, and overturned when the driver tried to compensate. Damage to the Jeep was estimated at $1000. Speeding dump trucks The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office received two complaints about dump trucks speeding through Sperryville last week. The first incident was reported on May 7 on U.S. 211, and the second was reported May 8 on Main Street. An investigation into the cause of the complaints is underway. Pond received a $25 fine for the drinking charge, and one year probation on the possession charge. The probation is conditional upon Pond undergoing drug treatment and periodic checks by his probation officer. His driver’s license was suspended for one year, but he may obtain a restricted operators permit upon successful completion of a Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. • Michele Renee Dodson of Flint Hill received a 12 month suspended sentence for possession of cocaine. As a condition of the suspension of sentence, she must maintain employment, receive substance abuse counseling, and attend Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. She pleaded guilty after being arrested in August, 1998, after being found in possession of a small amount of cocaine. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke thought that jail time was inappropriate because she has no criminal record. He also noted that she had been drug-free for over 10 years until the latest incident. • Judge Penn sentenced Jerry William Cloniger Sr. of Castleton to five years in jail for driving after having been declared an habitual offender. Cloniger pleaded guilty after being arrested on November 16, 1998. On June 21, Cloniger may enroll in a diversion program in Harrisonburg. This program provides substance abuse rehabilitation and job placement assistance, and ensures compliance with the terms of probation.

Gangel revises budget by Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Special Writer At last night’s meeting, Schools Superintendent David Gangel reported to the School Board on his reconciliation of the $128,000 cut made by the Board of Supervisors on May 3. Because of state matching fund requirements, he said, there was a chance that the county cut of $128,000 could result in the loss of the entire Lottery Hold Harmless revenue line item of $46,900 from the Commonwealth. It was difficult to revise the budget, Gangel noted. The cuts could not come from nonteacher salaries, he said, because that would result in savings of only $59,000, and if the county budget reduction was applied to teacher pay raises, then the total cut, because of matching fund losses, would amount to $193,000. He added that teacher pay raise cuts would negatively affect teacher morale-a problem greater than the money. Gangel said that “We looked at other instructional areas . . . most growth is in assessment programs . . . remove that, and we remove the focus.” Cuts in other areas, he said, such as transportation or athletics, would result in elimination of entire programs. “It comes down to capital projects,” Gangel summarized, “I will therefore recommend roof repairs as the item for removal.” The budget reconciliation documents reflected the reduction of the $128,000: $5,000 was removed from the $15,000 allocated for engineering services for the “RCHS Second Half of Shop Roof’, a $110,000 reduction eliminated the entire capital improvement line item for the “RCHS Second Half of Shop Roof”, and two other capital improvement line items, replacement of interior double doors and replacement of a septic sand filter, were deleted for an additional savings of $13,000. Despite the assertion of Supervisor Mike Massie and Robert Anderson at their budget hearing of May 3 that the RCHS roof repair is a top priority, the School Board was unanimous in their approval of Dr. Gangel’s reconciliation budget. Supporting Gangel’s choice of cutting capital costs in lieu of teacher pay or instructional programs, School Board member Ron Makela said, “Our business is educating children, and the capital budget is important. . . but it takes third place as far as I’m concerned.” Board members agreed with Gangel’s alternative plan for roof repairs. He left $10,000 in the roof repair budget to continue the engineering phase and to prepare bid documents, and felt that there would be end-of-year funds of at least $40,000 to initiate contract work and acquire materials. All or some of the balance of the $70,000 required might be available from budget surpluses at the end of the year (June 30) and, if not, he said, the materials couxd be stored and the balance of the project included in next year’s budget. The School Board unanimously agreed to forward this plan and information on the consequences of the budget cut to the Board of Supervisors. If the Supervisors do not approve the alternative RCHS roof repair funding approach, then at least $24,000, and perhaps all, of the $46,900 State Lottery Hold See BOARD, Page A7

Bird enjoys verticle lifestyle [Editor’s note: This is the second half of a two-part story on the habits and habitat of the Red-bellied Woodpecker. The first part appeared last week.] Like all woodpeckers, the Red-bellied Woodpecker is perfectly equipped for a vertical life; there are no horizontals for this bird. They have stiff tail feathers that serve as props as the birds hitch themselves up on a tree trunk. Birds have four toes that are usually arranged with three in front, one behind. This is a good, all-purpose arrangement for hopping or walking on the ground and perching horizontally on a branch. Woodpeckers have their toes arranged as two in front, two behind. Zygotactyl is the term in ornithological language. It’s an impressive word. This toe formation is helpful to birds that cling vertically to tree trunks. Most of the food of all woodpeckers consists of insects in varying forms of development dug out of trees by the useful, chisel-shaped bill. It is now known that a woodpecker’s hearing is so acute and finely tuned that it can actually hear the insect 3500 3000 2500 1833 Bags of Trash Final Count r X Organizing Committee of TRASH FREE RAPPAHANNOCK invites all participants and supporters and their families to an AWARDS PICNIC Sat., May 22 at the home of John Kiser (at the end of Popham's Ford Road off Rt 707, between Rt. 231 and 522) 4 p.m., into the evening Food Will Be Provided A Swimsuits Welcome Call 987-8445 for more info. All Things Wild And Wonderful John Trott Rappahannock News Nature Writer moving about in the dead wood of a tree. The tongue is long and can be extended several inches beyond the end of the bill to spear the insect. For this the tip of the tongue is equipped with barbs. The tongue is then retracted and by muscular action wound around the inside of the skull. The Red-bellied Woodpecker, like all members of his family, excavates a cavity in a dead tree for a nest. This is shaped somewhat like a gourd; it is narrow at the top (with an entrance of about three inches in diameter) and broadens out at the bottom into a shallow bowl, which may be as much as 15 inches below the entrance. The white eggs are laid on soft wood chips and hatch in about 14 days. The male Red-bellied Woodpecker incubates at night and the female during the day. That seems to be a fair arrangement. When first hatched, the young are little more than embryos for they are naked and blind. They are fed a rich diet of partially digested insects that is pumped into the young by regurgitation. Young Red-bellied Woodpeckers don’t leave the nesting cavity until they are 24 days old. At that age, they are ready for the world after a few days of being fed by the adults outside the nest cavity. Storing food for the future is a characteristic of several species of woodpeckers. The Red-bellied is no exception; it not only stores seeds for future consumption in holes in trees but places insects there as well. Woodpeckers are not noted for the beauty of their vocal efforts. Their calls are loud and the Red-bellied had a number of abrupt, repeated sounds such as churr, churr. Tapping on wood is their primary means of communication and this carries far. For his journal entry for March 22, 1853, Henry David Thoreau wrote: “The tapping of the woodpecker, rat-tat-tat, knocking at the door of some sluggish grub to tell him that spring has arrived . . . this is one of the season sounds, calling the roll of birds and insects, the reveille.” Reveille, a wake-up call for a day or season.” The Red-bellied Woodpecker does not migrate so is with us throughout the year. Soon the rhythmic tapping of this handsome woodpecker will resonant among the tree trunks. I am ready for that sign of spring. Whether well-named or not, the Redbellied is a splendid bird. May they continue to hold their own against pestiferous Starlings and brighten the day by a visit to the bird feeder. Virginia naturalist John Trott may be reached at PO.

Through this “pilot” program we are hoping to give students an opportunity to experience firsthand a particular profession and to find out as much about it as possible during a one day visit to a given site. If successful, this program will give each student as opportunity to sample a career before deciding that this is the career that they will choose for the rest of their lives. It will also give students an opportunity to ask questions about courses that will help them in a given profession, minimal education requirements, necessary physical attributes, etc. • If you are a professional in the community who would be willing to have two high school students spend a day at work with you, asking questions and watching you do what you do, please contact Robin Campbell at 987-8575 or Jan Makela at 987-8259. • Letters were 8ent to several professionals in the community earlier this spring requesting their participation in this program. Due to scheduling conflicts among other things, the response was minimal. In order for this to be a viable program, we need at least 10-15 volunteer professionals to participate in this one day program. Please consider being a part of this exciting and worthwhile educational opportunity. • We are very pleased to announce that RCES parent Mrs. Sherry Harnill-Huff was recently inducted into the Cornell University Hall of Fame for Polo. She was instrumental in beginning the first Women’s Polo Team at Cornell in the early 70’s. Mrs. Hamill-Huff is a member of the RCPS Special Education Advisory Committee. • Many thanks to RCES parent Mary Riggleson for the very generous donation of an upright piano to the students of RCES. The piano will be housed in Mrs. Patty Hottinger’s Preschool Class. Music enhances any environment and this gift will certainly help to achieve that end. We appreciate the efforts of RCES parents David Alther, Ron Makela and Jimmy Swindler who moved the piano from the Riggleson home to RCES. • Students from the RCPS Bands participated in the First Annual Tri-County Band Concert at Liberty High School in Fauquier County on Saturday, May 8.

Profit on the Hoof? BY GERALD OCHS Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock County is its farms, it’s been said, but those farms are not always profitable. If the farms go, then perhaps too, there goes the Rappahannock that was created from the wilderness, and that retains more of that flavor than most other places in this country. By and large, agriculture in Rappahannock is dedicated to orchards, haying, and beef cattle. None of these pursuits can guarantee the farmer a good living. So, no one can guarantee those of us who don’t farm — but who love Rappahannock— the continuation of a life blessed by the beauty and serenity found here. There certainly must be “crops” that would prove more profitable for Rappahannock farms, and would assure their preservation. Tburism as a “crop” has done much for country stores, bed and breakfast inns, fruit stands and orchards. But tourism won’t pay all the bills of the orchardist, and surely few of the stockman. The “niche” farm has potential, but requires careful selection of the niche product — perhaps a redevelopment of production methods with a substantial capital outlay, and a significant reorientation of the farmer’s market selection and marketing approach. Enter the bison One product line whose market is beginning to approach the point of viability is low-fat red meat, Piedmontese beef, for example, and bison. Ongoing efforts by an Albemarle/Madison County concern have proven that production costs for Piedmontese beef and bison are in the same range as that of standard beef, but that both of these products fetch a premium in the marketplace. At Buffalo Hill in Madison, Clarification Our story on the Board of Supervisors meeting in last week’s edition mentioned that the salaries and wages for Commissioner of Revenue deputies was revised to $41,250 in the county budget. This is not the salary for one individual, as has some readers have interpreted it to mean. Rather, it is the total salaries for the two full time deputies in the Commissioner of Revenue Office. We apologize for any confusion that this may have been caused.

Retail prices average approximately $10 per pound, and there appear to be buyers for these products at the retail outlet, at specialty meat shops and gourmet groceries including Whole Foods and Sutton Place Gourmet,. It is also served at “white table cloth” restaurants from Boston to Orlando. The founder of Georgetown Farm in Free Union in Albemarle County) and of Buffalo Hill in Madison is Edgar Bronfman, head of Seagram’s and MCA. According to David Hoyt, Operations a n d Marketing Manager of Georgetown Farm, Bronfman’s involvement stemmed from his cholesterol problem, his high counts dictated a low-fat diet and he sought alternatives to skinless chicken and fish. Ihe initial solution resulted trom ueorgetown Farm’s breeding program. The cross between the farm’s prizewinning Polled Herefords and Piedmontese, a muscular breed originating in Italy, produced a hearty disease-resistant and lean breed known as Piedmontese Silver. Success with the Piedmontese Silver led to expansion of the low-fat line by the addition of the bison around 1990. Both the bison and the Piedmontese Silver are raised without antibiotics, growth hormones, and steroids, and both are remarkably low-fat. Total fat in 100 grams of Piedmontese Silver, for example, is 1.34 grams; in bison, 1.84 grams. In comparison, 100 grams of choice beef yields 24.05 grams of fat, and 100 grams of skinless chicken yields 3.08 grams of fat. These characteristics, couDled with the natural tenderness and flavor of the products, led to a demand that overwhelmed available processing capacity. That brought about the creation of Buffalo Hill, a 150 acre ‘showcase’ finishing lot, processing plant, and retail outlet. At Georgetown Farm, farm manager Tom Albert dis3k cussed bison and Piedmontese cattle raising, and the farm’s willingness to help area farmers tap into the profits. He said that “a good cow man would be an excellent bison breeder,” and noted that bison breeding was not that L different that cattle I breeding. (Jne might expect that the bison pastures would be ringed with eightfoot high steel ^ fences, but most ■* Georgetown f Farm’s containment was standard threerail wooden fence, with an electrified single-wire on a 12” standoff. The big difference in bison raising, Albert said, “is that you can’t handle them like cattle ... with bison you need psychology.” Because of their temperament and agility, he woos them once a day with a little grain, and they follow him like a mother hen. Bison require 1 to 1—9 acres per head, and for better control, their pastures are limited to 15-20 acres. They are naturally disease resistant and pretty much maintenance-free, generally being worked only once per year. Unlike cattle, bison have a much longer life expectancy, and can be productive for 2040 years. The Piedmontese share the disease resistance of the bison, and are never given antibiotics, steroids or growth hormones. Opportunity knocks Georgetown Farm is seek Rappahannock News Photo/Gerald Ochs ENORMOUS: Thunderhead, a breeding bull, at Georgetown Farm. ing farmers who would like to get into bison and Piedmontese breeding, and will assist interested Rappahannock farmers. Albert said that bison breeding does require some investment, but the returns are good. A two-year old breeding heifer, for example, would cost $2500-$3500, significantly more than cattle. But the farm would also r guarantee to buy back calves, and the present rate for a 400 pound bull, for example, is $1.60 per pound. Georgetown Farm could also use help in Piedmontese breeding. Piedmontese-cross calves will be bought by the farm for a five cent premium over the top cattle price, and the breeder would not pay any auction eer or yard charges.

“Shakespeare in Love” at Theatre May 14 at 8 p.m. BY ROSIE DAY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, “Shakespeare in Love” is a fanciful account of the great bard’s enormous artistic leap from obscure actor to renowned playwright with his masterpiece, “Romeo and Juliet”, first performed in 1594. The movie begins with young Will Shakespeare racing around rat-infested London, flinging himself into rooms in despair. It seems he has writer’s block: he cannot complete the pot boiler, “Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate’s Daughter.” Will pulls out of his depression when he meets Viola de Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow), a wealthy girl doomed to marry the unappealing and impoverished aristocrat Lord Wessex (Colin Firth). The movie presumes a great deal, but when Will and Viola get together the movie turns into an exciting literaryerotic entertainment. Judy Dench (Best Supporting Actress) plays Queen Elizabeth, a toughminded and witty woman, who frighteningly puts people on the spot and then enjoys having the last word. John Madden, who directed Dench in “Mrs. Brown”, pulls together poetry and act and we hear Will (Joseph Fiennes) and Viola speaking to each other in near-poetry, some of which sounds mighty familiar. All in all, it’s a great romp that also won a Best Actress Award for Paltrow. RAAC will show this film at The Theatre on Gay Street on Friday, May 14 at 8 p.m. (PG 13, 113 minutes) Listen BY GERALD OCHS Rappahannock News Special Writer The eastern red-backed salamander and its cousin, the Shenandoah salamander, are by no means formidable creatures, at least in the conventional sense. The physical attributes and habits of these woodland salamanders (genus Plethodon) however, makes them particularly vulnerable to environmental threats, and thus an early warning system for forest ecosystem health and for animals higher in the food chain, including man. Recent international declines and even extinctions of amphibian populations, including salamanders, might be cause for concern, and a global effort began in 1991 to investigate the problem. The Declining Amphibian Populations Task Force (DAPTF) was established that year because of the declines and because of a lack of information and data on the dynamics of amphibian populations. Responsibility for research in this hemisphere became the responsibility of the No: American Amphibian Monitoring Program, and local efforts are being conducted as part of the Terrestrial Salamander Monitoring Program, established in June of 1997 under the administra ESTEE Splash The gift of choice.

Closer to home a team of four biologists, designated as ‘amphibian technicians’, Chris Addison, Becky Holmes, Jennifer “Newt” Shirk, and John Whissel, can be seen nearly every morning packing up their gear at the Mountainside Market in Sperryville. Their job, until August of this year, is to develop baseline population data for the red-backed salamander and for the endangered Shenandoah salamander at 75 sites in the Shenandoah National Park. The efforts of the Rappahannock-based crew is a component of the Terrestrial Salamander Monitoring Program, and will help to determine salamander population size and individual animal characteristics. This baseline data will be used, after the sampling sites are revisited in the future, to assess population changes. Should the salamander populations appear to be declining here in the park as they are elsewhere, the animals may be giving us a strong warning. Because of their permeable skin, they actually breathe through it, the sala1 manders are particularly sensitive to both air and water pollution, and also to the increased levels of ultraviolet radiation due to ozone depletion. Despite their relative isolation—we share life fairly far, from industrial and population centers—they, like the park’s flora, can still suffer the effects of acid rain and soil resulting from industrial air pollution far to the west. Like the proverbial canary in the coal mine, the salaman-v der will warn us of impending trouble. Let us hope that we listen.

Girls soccer loses tough one The Rappahannock High girls soccer team dropped a 2-1 decision at home to the Brentsville Tigers on May 4, leaving their record at 8-2 overall and 1-1 in the Bull Run District. The Panthers created numerous chances all afternoon, but had few quality shots. Despite controlling the ball all day, they trailed 1-0 at intermission. The Panthers scored more than midway through the second half when Jenny Waters got a shot over the Brentsville goalie into the net, making the score 1-1. The Tigers, however, scored late on a defensive breakdown by Rappahannock to pull out the win. This week, the Panthers host Manassas Park and play Clarke away.

They lost to Brentsville on Tuesday 7-1. Lauren Sharp took the loss for the Panthers. Katey Wilson and Margo Haynes collected two hits each for Rappahannock. Unfortunately, those were the Panther’s only hits in the game. ; The Panthers traveled to Manassas Park to face the Cougars for the second time. Rappahannock lost the first meeting 2-0 as Jennifer Steele threw a perfect game. The Panthers were determined to improve their offense against Steele this time and responded * ... by collecting six hits. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fourth, when Manassas Park scored three of their four runs. The Panthers scored twice in the fifth inning. Jennifer Thomas hit a hard grounder to second with the bases loaded, but the Cougars were unable to get Dana Caldwell at the plate. Her slide knocked the ball away, allowing Crystal Grigsby to score. The Panthers then had runners at second and third with nobody out, but failed to score again. Sharp allowed only three hits and no walks while striking out seven, but the Panthers lost 4-2. nappanannocK News btan Knoto/rodd Fortune JV BASEBALL: from left to right; Kneeling - Chris Payne, Ryan Brown, Noah Starks, Steve Wiley; Standing - B.T.

Many people take for granted what these men and women do for us. And in quiet Rappahannock County, it may seem sometimes that our Sheriff’s Deputies and the State Troopers that patrol the county don’t have a very dangerous job. But no matter where you live, our law enforcement officers are willing to put their lives on the line, if the need be to protect us and provide public safety. That’s the job they’ve chosen to do. Think about it. Anytime an officer arrests someone, even here, it can be dangerous. And violence can strike anywhere, anytime. We salute the members of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department and the Virginia State Police, especially this week, for the job they do. Preserve history National Historic Week, a time to remember where we have been. This is also Historic Preservation Week. It is a time to reflect on our past, and to think of ways to appreciate and protect our heritage. Even as we struggle through our day-to-day hustle-and-bustle, we should be even more mindful of that heritage in Rappahannock County. And this applies to native and newcomer alike. Tourism is a big part of our county’s economy. The mountains and scenery do attract many tourists, but how much would tourism be impacted if Washington, Sperryville, Flint Hill and other locations in the county didn’t maintain their historical, rural look and feel? Even if we didn’t have a big interest in history, it would be important for our citizens to remember their own heritage. It’s hard to know where you’re going if you don’t know where you came from. Historical preservation is an important part of our character, something to consider, and cherish, every day. Rappahannock Today Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Todd Fortune Gay Street in the town of Washington recently received a new layer of asphalt. Bridge work on Old Hollow Road will begin later this month, and paving on U.S. 211 at Skyline Drive and Route 626 leaving Washington are scheduled for June. Various roads in the county will be treated with tar and gravel over the summer as well. Letters Proud of heritage and roots As a native of Rappahannock County, having lived here the first 18 years of my life, I am very proud of my heritage and roots. The county, even today retains most of its natural beauty and rural character because of the generations before me who chose and planned to keep it that way, however after reading an article in The New Yorker of March 29 where Patrick O’Connell of The Inn at Little Washington told Tony Horwitz that locals have poor language skills, dismisses their investment in its history and suggested that the town history needs to be revised for visiting guest. There are a few questions I would like to ask Patrick O’Connell and the first being, what are the conditions of your home town and why did you leave to come to Rappahannock? If your native home town was planned so well and the language was so good I am surprised after you discovered Rappahannock that you didn’t return or look for another place to locate. It never ceases to amaze me that the outsiders coming in from cities and various places want to take control. This trend is what causes small towns and rural areas to become exactly what many of these people have left behind them. Rappahannock County has a rjch history of down to earth people, common sense people and has produced doctors, lawyers and journalist to mention a few. Finally I would like to mention for history purposes that in the 50’s before womens’ liberation, the town of Washington had a woman mayor and all woman council who made a spot on national television on a program called the $64,000 Question and was successful in her answers therefore leaving with substantial cash winnings. As for tax revenues, if they are not satisfactory, most intelligent would look elsewhere. , Arthur H. (Mack) Hitt Jr. Culpep' r Say thanks In celebration of National Emergency Medical Services Week’s 25 anniversary, I would like to encourage all citizens of the Commonwealth to join with me in recognizing EMS providers in their community. These providers, on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, volunteer or career, are truly meeting the challenge by saving lives. From First Responder to Paramedic, each provider spends hundreds of hours in classes taking specialized training. They also spend many more hours cleaning and stocking their ambulances and maintaining their stations. And, as with police officers and firefighters, they sometimes make the ultimate sacrifice by losing their life to save another. Citizens of Virginia can be proud of their Emergency Medical Services System. In fact, they are a very important part of it. For EMS is a system of care that relies on an informed public capable of recognizing medical emergencies and placing that first call for help. Please join with me in recognizing the efforts and accomplishments of the providers who answer the call by saying a simple thank you to them and to wish them safe passage on their next run.

Mr. Mathews said he felt the proposed actual library space would hold up to 21,000 volumes, and a small 400 square foot addition could house another 4,000. He said he thought there was no need for a third 1500 square foot module to have enough space for 25,000 books, and that perhaps even the small addition could be built for the anticipated cost of $500,000.

Family life education review RCES Principal Raye Tupper reported on progress in establishing a committee to review the school system’s family life education curriculum. The first priorities, Mrs. Tupper said, would be to identify a chairperson, who could be neutral, to guide the review process, and to establish a small core committee that represents a cross-section of the community. This group will determine the level of community involvement required in the process, and should include some of the members of the committee that helped create the original curriculum in 1994. The full committee will review each element of the curriculum, and determine if adjustments need to be made. Mrs. Tupper will serve as the schools’ contact person and coordinator of the effort until a chairperson is selected.

Manson becomes “talk of the town” j t With Yarn & More shop on Gay Street BY LEE COGHLAN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Below Talk of the Town on Gay Street in what used to be Peter Kramer’s storage closet, Ellen Manson has opened Yam & More. In every nook and cranny, Manson has filled her shop with knitting supplies and “more”: Ashford Wheels and Looms, Longaberger baskets and even Watkin’s products, such as salves, flavorings, seasonings and dip mixes. Manson recalls the beginnings of her shop. “Peter Kramer had an extra room downstairs. It was a storage room, dark and dingy and groddy. My husband and I spackled, painted, and put the bookshelves together.” And they have created a great shop. Yam & More opened April 1 and people are finding out. No longer will Washingtonians have to travel 20 miles for a needle and thread. And all sorts of classes are now being scheduled for knitting, crocheting, and quilting which were previously unavailable in this area, Manson is a psychiatric mental health nurse who has found peace from her hectic, stressful professional life by knitting. She now lives in Flint Hill with her firefighter husband, and runs her own mental health practice. The practice is very small and focuses on adolescents, children and families. To supplement her income, Manson decided one day “to open a shop and make it a variety store with a little bit of a lot of things. I decided yarn and fabric wouldn’t make it. The Rowan yarns are from England. The patterns for knitting are for all age groups. The fabric is for quilting or for any kind of sewing. And I can order anything people want, can drop ship to people’s homes.” And Manson is more than happy to help people with their knitting projects, “I can help them get their sweater together. People like to get help with things. If they start a project and forget how to do something, they’ll come in, and I’ll show them what they forgot.” Manson has tons of catalogues which she orders from containing yams and notions, sewing supplies, quilting supplies, quilting fabric, crossstitch supplies, and floss or thread, “If they can find it, I can get it, said Manson.” Manson has been knitting and crocheting since she was six years old, “I used to make all my own clothes. Now, in my spare time, I’ll make things.” But if you have something specific you want NEW IN TOWN: Elen Manson in her store, Yarn & More, on Gay Street in Washington Photo by Lee Coghlan Manson to knit, she will knit to order. The classes are just now starting to form. Manson will primarily teach the knitting and crocheting classes. She will teach weaving with Ellen dorosh. Susan Parrish will teach quilting. But Manson is still looking for a spinning instructor. The classes will be on-going and weekend workshops will be organized. Class will be held in town. Manson lived in Rappahannock in the late 70’s and early 80’s with her first husband in what is now known as the Heritage House. Then she moved to Richmond, worked there as a Director of Nursing for 11 years. But Richmond was not a safe place for her 13 year old daughter to go to school and she was going through a divorce. Manson married Wayne Wilson and moved back to Rappahannock. In addition to her shop and private practice, Manson is part of a team, the Critical Incident Stress Management Team, that provides crisis counseling for emergency service personnel. Manson explains, “wer would respond to the rescue people to help them cope with what they had to deal with. She is also the President of Rappahannock Association for Arts in the Community (RAAC). With this position, she is the co-chair for the 4th of July committee. When I ask Manson how she feels about this county, she replies, “I always loved it here, but it was hard to make a living without a long commute. This is a safe place. We have very good friends here in the community. I do a lot of gardening. My husband was a farmer. He used to raise sheep. He’d like to raise animals again. I like to go up on the drive and watch the sunset.” Manson grew up in Newport News, but she was born in West Virginia, “Mountains are a part of me. I like to go back to the beach, but only for a week or two.” Yarn & More is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 12 to 6 p.m. If you are interested in classes call 675-1350 or stop by the shop. Manson is organizing individual and group classes and she will teach in the evening.

I think about her all of the time. She died approximately three years ago of breast cancer. It was a long struggle, but she finally passed on. I remember when Nuno used to attend all of our family gatherings. She brought a sense of peace and unity with her. Most of all, she gave everyone in our family an enormous amount of love. A typical Bruno family dinner is incredibly chaotic. When Nuno was there, everything seemed to go a lot smoother, though. If the children were screaming, she calmed them down. If the kitchen was a mess, she cleaned it up as quickly as possible. If there was any problem, Nuno knew the solution. Nuno always smelled of a mixture of perfume and her incredible home cooking. She appeared to have a halo over her head, and she always gleamed with pride. Her eyes were as young and beautiful as ever. The smile on her face could light up an entire room. When Nuno cooked her famous ravioli and Italian cookies, I was in heaven. Every single thing she fixed was absolutely delicious. Nuno even taught my dad how to prepare tasty dinners. He can almost cook as well as she could, but not quite. Nuno came to help my mom every time she had a baby. While watching the baby sleep, she would fall asleep as well. She looked so angelic, and her wings shined brightly. I can recall my dad driving my mom and the new baby home from the hospital, and directly after he would pick up Nuno. She was always there to support my parents, and I know they really appreciated it. Nuno was the most caring and warm person one could ever meet. She gave affection to any and everyone she confronted. She respected all people for what they are. For all of those reasons and more is why I love and cherish the memory of my phenomenal grandmother, Nuno! These past family gatherings have been quite different without Nuno. As my family and I go through the gigantic crowd of relatives, a part of me thinks, “Where’s Nuno? Where is the person who keeps our family dinners from being is disarray? Where is that amazing woman?” I then have to remind myself that Nuno is up in heaven with all of the other angels, where she has always belonged! Michelle Bruno lives in Warrenton and is a fourth grader, however, she often visits friends in the Sperryville area.

In addition to her father, iJnsjiLxLncj by Randy Minter CREATURE COMFORTS We may live in a consumer-driven economy, but we must still take stock of the riches we build for the life after this. It is not enough to store up treasures that enable us to live in physical comfort and security, while neglecting to build a legacy that will help us face the judgements to come. The old admonition "you can't take it with you" more than implies that there are intangibles that can be taken to a life beyond this. As Hugh Blair expressed, "How shocking must thy summons be, O Death, to him that is at ease in his possessions! Who, counting on long years of pleasure here, is quite unfurnished for the world to come." Paying attention to what is important is a particular challenge for us as Americans. Driven by our need to succeed, to acquire creature comforts, how easily we can become ensnared by it all and forget what we really value! At the Moser Funeral Home, we are sensitive to the needs of both individuals and families as they cope with the grieving process. We're at 233 Broadview Avenue. For answers to your questions, call 347-3431. “Time is a system of folds which only death can unfold. ” - Jean Cocteau she was also predeceased by a brother, John Lloyd Jenkins Jr. and a son-in-law, Franklin E.

BURKE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County Schools and the Virginia Department of Education joins the Virginia School Food Service Association and the Virginia Department of Agriculture in recognizing the dedicated, hardworking professionals who prepare and serve good nutritious meals to students every school day. Their efforts and commitment to children may often go unnoticed in the busy daily routine; however, without them, the school day would be disrupted and many children would be hungry- gryThe school breakfast and lunch programs provide students with the energy and nutrients for optimal cognitive development and performance. Research clearly demonstrates the strong relationship between nutri tion and readiness to learn. Access to healthy foods is essential and reinforces the classroom nutrition education. Good nutrition education and services, both in the classroom and the cafeteria, allow students to gain the knowledge, skills, and motivation needed to make wise food choices. They learn that healthy foods are connected to physical, mental, emotional, and social health. The employees of the school nutrition programs are crucial members of the educational team. They provide nourishment to the students’ bodies, so the educators can nourish their minds. If you are visiting in our school please join us in showing your appreciation and recognizing the School Food Service members for their professionalism, commitment, and dedication to our future - the students of Virginia.

BALDWIN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Well, maybe not quite the appropriate title yet, in a sense it is. On Saturday morning, April 24, I picked up my Mom and Dad and drove to Old Hollow where we met up with Mom’s aunt, Alice Pullen Beahm. We then drove up to the old Pullen place on Pickerel Ridge, our goal, to clean the family cemetery. To our surprise it wasn’t in too bad a shape. A weed eater and some long handled loppers were all that was needed. The biggest nuisance here are the “adam and eve” or yucca plants that seem to thrive atop this mountain. Constant yearly cutting or pulling has not eradicated them, so we plan a herbicide attack next trip. To our dismay we are finding that with the passing years, the dead are more and more forgotten in these lonely family burial spots. Each generation has given up to the fad of turning to the Memory Gardens and places of perpetual care. Quite an interesting thing when one also notes that practically the same thing is done with our dear ones when they become too troublesome for us to take care of. Those who spent their lives on and for us are soon forgotten. Those cemeteries that now lay with Shenandoah National Park, in another 20 years or so will be unrecognizable, let alone visible, unless there’s someone still around who is familiar with them. This is the reason one can appreciate the effort being made by the Rappahannock Historical Society to document, record and preserve these places for the future. It used to be a joy for a large group to gather, taking a picnic lunch perhaps, and clean these dear spots. The older relatives reminiscing and telling the younger ones who this was, or relating some special memory of by-gone days. Have we become ashamed of our heritage? In my times, especially the last 25 years the movement toward the uncaring, unconcerned has too quickly hastened its pace. Twenty-five years ago, maybe once, more often two or three times a year folks would gather for such events and enjoy them. Yes, many of them did not remember some of their relatives, for example, Aunt Alice’s mother died when she was about six month old. Yet she remembers her grandparents, aunts and uncles vividly. Even our distant cousin, the late Honorable William Jennings Bryan, lawyer, politician, presidential candidate did not forget his roots, his family, the dead. This we know for a fact since he had erected in the Pullen cemetery a stone monument in memory of his Lillard ancestors, and another (which was torn down some years ago) in memory of his Bryan (a.k.a. Bryant) ancestors. When the yucca blooms on the mountain top, When the grass is gettin’ tall, We think to go and try to stop, This vegetative sprawl Here chiggers may bite, the gnats may sting, But there’s satisfaction in the chore, That we’ve not forgotten why we do this thing, ...to remember our dead once more. The comment was made that if it wasn’t for the old ones no one would clean the graveyard. Keeping in mind that the four of us ranged in ages 46 to 70; two of whom were disabled with arthritis. This, although a hindrance, did not stop them, even one of the disabled lopped and touted, making me feel somewhat ashamed that I even asked them to go...that I could’ve done the whole job myself. But, there is satisfaction when you can do something. Yes, we’ve assumed the guardianship, it seem, in keeping this place in order. No, we don’t worship the dead as is the case in some religions, but we think we are to remember them and honor that life that once was. This place is a shrine of sorts to us, for here lie five generations of our family. Although gone to the dust from which we came there only remains those stone monuments and tombstones with inscriptions of names and dates that remind us, now and then, that too soon this is our lot. Will we lie in un-remembered graves covered with a mangle of vegetation? In leaving this place and those buried here, our memories flooded back to the last time we were here. Last fall. Then we were accompanied by my grandfather, Clyde, brother to Alice, my mother’s father. He has since departed but until the last he had that desire to not forget his beginnings, knowing his end.

Encouraged by a physician friend who knew of his work, Alexander began teaching people how to use their muscles properly when they sat, stood, and walked. Mr. Alexander taught in North America and England until his death in 1955. y One of the most common problems of poor use in our bodies today is the slumped over, round shouldered, protruding stomach stance.

THE WORKS: The Spitfire is easy to work on and easy on the eyes. Classic 'on the nearly road' By John Toler - Times Newspapers Staff Writer Can “car care” be fun? For many people, the answer is yes, especially if caring for your car is also your hobby. It also helps if the car you’re “caring for” isn’t the one you have to drive every day. For many people, owning and maintaining a collectible car is an enjoyable pastime. In addition to the seftse of accomplishment you get by having a wellrunning classic, you have the opportunity to meet others with the same interests and who may have encountered the same problems with their old cars. As we learned in last year’s For the Love of Cars special issue, a lot of people own collectible cars in Fauquier County these days. Many folks around here prefer Mustangs and Camaros, and other muscle cars built in the 1960s and early 1970s. These are also the best to fix up and drive. We have several shops in the county that specialize in this kind of work. In addition to the fond memories evoked, these collectible cars offer other advantages: there are still a lot of them around to be discovered and recovered; parts are plentiful and reasonably priced; and once finished, they are easily recognized and appreciated — which does nothing to explain why I decided to get back into the old car hobby by consciously seeking out an old car that fits none of those criteria. Out of the dim past Over the past winter, I have been putting back together a 1980 Triumph Spitfire 1500, last in the line of a spe Spitfires offer a lot of advantages for owners who like to tinker with their cars. cial and unique marque. Basically, it is a car that was behind, rather than ahead of its time. The Spitfire is a small British sports car built from 1962-80 at a plant in Coventry. The entire 19-year production run for all Spitfire models was about 314,000, and a large number were exported to America. There are a few Spitfires in Fauquier County. Lee District Supervisor Dave Mangum of Opal has one (it’s for sale), and Stephen Roszel Jr., who lives out near the Free State, is working on one for his high school-age son. My first Spitfire was a decent lowmileage ‘64, with a detachable steel hardtop, soft top and tonneau cover. I bought it from'Johnny Rigg at Keith N. Fletcher Pontiac in 1969.

Times? Communitv Newsoapers Times Community Newspapers Spitfire _ From Page 2 I was intrigued with the car when I first saw it, but turned it down when an electrical problem kept it from starting. Later, I returned and got it to run, and made an offer — $400. The car was mine. It was a lot of fun, and didn’t give me much trouble, other than the characteristic electrical problems that often plague British cars. (Question: “Why do they drink their beer warm in England?” Answer: “Because Lucas makes their refrigerators.” That’s an inside joke.) If you counted the project cars and parts cars I’ve owned over the years, I’ve probably owned a dozen Spitfires. The last one I owned was a dark blue 1975 model, but that was almost 20 years ago. Spitfires offer a lot of advantages for owners who like to tinker with their cars. First, and most obvious, is the hinged bonnet (hood), that lifts up from the back to expose the entire engine compartment, front wheels and suspension. The oil filter, spark plugs, battery, carburetor — all the elements of simple maintenance — are all right there for you. Few other car manufacturers ever adopted this design. I wonder why? The next thing you notice is that the car is really small. See SPITFIRE, Page 4 Q»in»mpr Par Parp Summer Car Care Times Newspapers Staff Photo/John Toler RESCUED: The car finally purchased, with fewer than 67,000 miles, had been garage-kept since hitting these shores nearly 20 years ago. In addition, it had been given a professional rust treatment early in life, and was still very solid. Unfortunately, the owner had dismantled most of the car and its pieces were in boxes all over his garage. The project was truly a labor of love. Wherever you go, there we are.

Spitfire From Page 3 At under 1,800 pounds, you would not want to take on larger vehicle in a collision. And looking up at the tires on a semi as it passes you on 1-95 can be unnerving — you hope that he remembers you’re back there, because he probably can’t see you. But the small size does offer some advantages. You get great fuel economy, and if you become involved in making heavy repairs, the mechanical components and body parts are much lighter and easy to handle than most other cars. The Spitfire, even in its last version, with a number of added safety features and emissions controls, was still relatively simple. Today’s cars are much “smarter,” using an on-board computer to control major engine functions and other operations. Even changing the oil takes specialized knowledge in some cases, and that’s better left to the experts. With these older cars, diagnosing problems is much easier, and that’s why it’s still fun to work on them. The search begins My search began in the dead of last winter. Cold weather is when most people are preparing their collectible cars for the spring and summer shows and rally events. It’s also a good time to find deals. THE SP® KES CRUISING THE INTERNET: Web sites and newsletters for car enthusiasts are plentiful. where I found an almost complete, but totally rusted-out 1975 Spitfire 1500 that had last been on the road in ‘87. Even though it was being stored indoors, the damage had been done. The floor on both sides was gone, as well as most of the lower edges of the outer sheet metal. The only option was an after-market hardtop. After a closer examination, both the seller and I agreed that this car would be Apparently, there are enough Spitfire enthusiasts in the D.C. metro area that demand exceeds the supply. Twice, when inquiring about Spitfires for sale in the metro papers, I was disappointed — the cars were already sold. Finally, I answered an advertisement under “Antique Classic Cars” in a want-ad publication circulated in the northern Shenandoah Valley. I made the trip (to Winchester, best used for parts. After that experience, I decided to run an ad of my own, just to see what was out there. I used the classifieds in, ahem, Times Community Newspapers and got a quick response. A man in an adjoining county had a 1980 Spitfire he wanted to sell, and invited me to his home to see it. It sounded like something I could use, even though he explained it was a project he had started five years ago and had lost interest in completing. He was now into Volvos. I made the trip over the mountain on the appointed day, not knowing what to expect — but keenly aware that I would have to resist the temptation to commit to a less-than-satisfactory deal, rather than come home empty handed. But I wasn’t disappointed. The car, with fewer than 67,000 miles, had been garage-kept since hitting these shores nearly 20 years ago. In addition, it had been given a professional rust treatment early in life, and was still very solid. But there was a downside. The owner had been really serious about restoring the car, and virtually every part that could be removed — other than the drive train — had been taken off the car for painting. What remained was a shell. The interior, lenses, lights, top, glass, trim — everything attached to the body in any way — had been removed. Spitfire parts were stored in boxes sitting all over his garage. The project was, in many respects, a life-size version of the old plastic model car kits I had as a kid. It was going to be a lot of fun — or a nightmare. The seller advised me that it was “all there,” but felt it only fair to warn me that buying replacement parts that were worn out or broken with new ones would be an expensive and sometimes difficult proposition.

A hot time lies ahead Summer’s extreme heat, dusty roads, and heavy stop-and-go traffic can all take their toll on your vehicle. Preventive maintenance is a yearround investment, advise the experts at the nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, better known as ASE. Summer maintenance tips • Don’t wait until the day before your vacation to begin a crash-course in car maintenance. Routine maintenance should be a year-round investment. • Read your owner’s manual; follow all recommended service intervals; keep good records. • Inspect your vehicle periodically for unusual sounds, odors, changes in performance and handling, leaks, drips, etc. Be prepared to mention these symptoms to your auto technician. • A summer inspection should cover the following: air conditioning system, belts and hoses, engine performance and fluids. Also check: condition and tightness of belts and hoses, radiator, brakes, tires (including spare), suspension and steering, all lights and bulbs, the battery and windshield wipers. • Carry some tools (ask a qualified technician for suggestions), plenty of windshield washer fluid, road flares, cellular phone and a flashlight. • If you are not a do-it-yourselfer, find a repair shop with qualified technicians and reward good service with repeat business. How certification works More than 100,000 technicians sit for ASE certification tests each May and November at more than 750 locations. Technicians who pass at least one exam (and fulfill the two-year work experience requirement) earn certification. To make certain that technicians are qualified to repair tomorrow’s vehicles, ASE requires technicians to recertify every five years to keep up with technology. All ASE credentials have expiration dates. Finding ASEcertified auto technicians Repair establishments with at least one ASE technician are permitted to display the ASE sign. Each ASE technician is issued personalized credentials listing his or her exact area(s) of certihcation and an appropriate shoulder insignia. Technicians are also issued wall-sized certificates that their employers often post in the customer-service area. As with doctors, automotive technicians often specialize. It’s wise to ask the shop owner or service manager specifically for a technician who is certified in the appropriate area, say, brakes, engine repair, or air conditioning.

Airbag repair tips Replacement can be tricky, say experts Federal regulations require both driver and front passenger airbags as standard equipment on all passenger cars. The same requirement for light trucks goes into effect during 1999. For increased passenger safety, vehicle manufacturers have also been installing airbags that help protect passengers in side impact collisions. And even airbags that deploy from the carpet to protect passenger’s feet have been developed. There’s much more to airbags than just air. As more airbag-equipped vehicles appear on the roads, and with an estimated 35 million auto accidents occurring each year, (18 million damaged vehicles will be repaired) the need for proper airbag replacement practices becomes critical. Unfortunately, alternative sources for replacement parts have sprung up. Salvage and stolen airbags are finding their way into some repaired vehicles, causing concern to vehicle manufacturers. Salvage airbag modules are taken from vehicles in salvage/recycling yards. Some automotive recyclers claim that these salvage airbags are acceptable, but Ford and other manufacturers question their use. Improper removal practices and contamination from the elements may pose threats to the integrity of salvage airbags. In fact, results from tests on salvage airbags conducted by an automotive recycler association indicated that one airbag taken from a flood vehicle failed to deploy. Stolen airbags are also becoming a problem. They are fast becoming the top item stolen from vehicles. Why? Thieves can steal an airbag in less than three minutes and sell it for a quick profit. How many airbags are stolen? Estimates vary but recently a major national airbag theft ring based in Detroit, Mich, was allegedly responsible for moving 25,000 airbags in a year, according to authorities. The big picture “What’s important to remember is that the airbag system is designed specifically for each vehicle model,” said George Gilbert, crash parts merchandising manager, Ford Customer Service Division. “The system must be repaired with the correct parts to function properly,” Gilbert added. Even subtle design changes over several model years may require airbag system alterations. To ensure the highest-quality collision repair and proper functioning of airbag systems, vehicle owners should be aware of the following steps needed to safely repair or replace components of the airbag system: If the airbag did deploy, the repairer must replace the airbag module(s) and inspect, repair or replace (if necessary) the following components: clock spring, sensors, wiring, steering wheel and column and electronic control unit. If the airbag did not deploy, the repairer should inspect the airbag system for possible dents, cracks or wiring damage that may affect the integrity and performance of the airbag system in the future. Questions to ask your collision repairer If the airbag did deploy, where will the replacement airbag and components come from? See AIRBAG, Page 8 »mes Newspapers Khoto/H b. Ciassie HOT AIR: Airbags are a common feature in today’s vehicles. But repair and replacement are fraught with complications.

Airbag From Page 7 Vehicle manufacturers and most insurance companies recommend that only new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) airbag modules and components be installed in the event of an airbag deployment. New OEM airbag components can only be purchased from a vehicle manufacturer’s authorized dealer. There are numerous companies advertising overruns and blemished airbags for sale. It is questionable where these airbags are coming from since only vehicle manufacturers make and distribute new airbags. Recently, part of the answer may have been solved. Remember that stolen airbag ring mentioned above? The members were accused of selling the stolen airbags to discount airbag suppliers who sold them to collision repairers through magazine ads. This leads to the next question consumers should ask: May I see the airbag sales documentation? Always ask for sales documentation for the airbag module and components. A legitimate collision repair facility will be able to supply this information. This documentation should show the authorized dealership that supplied the items. Consumers should also complete and return the information card that is enclosed with every replacement airbag. Since every airbag installed in a new vehicle carries the vehicle identification number (VIN), this card serves as a record that the airbag was replaced. • Is the new driver-side airbag module cover the correct color? New genuine Ford replacement airbag modules must be the correct color. They cannot be painted! The paint could degrade the cover materials and interfere with airbag deployment. Now that the airbag module and components have been properly addressed, another crucial component of a safe and proper collision repair involves the type of replacement “crash parts” installed. Crash parts are exterior sheet metal and plastic parts most frequently replaced after accidents, such as bumpers, fenders, hoods and doors. Certain replacement crash parts, such as hoods and fenders, may play a role in the function of the airbag system. Here are the types of replacement crash parts you are likely to choose from: Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) crash parts, which are made by or for the vehicle manufacturer to the same exacting standards as the parts on new vehicles. New Aftermarket, or “imitation” crash parts, which are unauthorized copies of OEM parts. Salvaged, which are crash parts recovered from cars which have been “totaled.” Testing by a variety of manufactur New oil (up to 5 qts./cars & 6 qts./trucks) Visually inspect battery tITIONING Receive a Mopar Dashlite flaa purchase of this service. • Front or rear disc • Inapt brake pads or shoes & ca replacement w/ • Chec Mopar parts (send- level.

OEM crash parts are the same as those installed on new vehicles, which meet all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). Significant questions remain unanswered about quality, durability and safety of non-OEM crash parts. Many insurance companies strongly advocate imitation or salvaged crash parts to help lower the cost of repairs. But according to one vehicle manufacturer study, nine out of 10 professional used-car appraisers valued a vehicle repaired with imitation crash parts $740 less than an identical vehicle repaired with OEM crash parts. While the choice is yours, if you don’t get involved in the decision-making process before repairs actually begin, your parts preferences may not be considered.

Bed liners are hottest accessory Over the past decade, the light truck market has changed dramatically to become the fastest growing automotive segment in the United States with almost 27 million pick-up trucks on the road today, a number that grows by 4 percent annually. The pick-up truck market has changed in more than just size. Traditionally, the vehicles were used primarily for work and hauling, but they also have become more popular for everyday transportation, outdoor recreation and weekend activities. Also, pick-up trucks have become more than just basic vehicles, with many models having such features as extended cabs and eye-catching styling inside and out. But whether trucks are used to haul heavy loads, motorcycles or just recreational gear, one thing hasn’t changed. That is the need for owners to protect their investment, especially since pick-up trucks aren’t the inexpensive vehicles they once were. One of the best and most popular methods to protect the trucks is by having a bed liner installed. Not surprisingly, bed liners are the number one accessory purchased by pick-up truck owners throughout the United States. Not only do bed liners protect trucks, they offer an additional way to beautify and add value to the vehicles. This is especially appealing for the millions of used pick-ups over three years old on the road today. Until recently, truck owners were limited to two choices when selecting abed liner. They could purchase a plastic drop-in bed liner, or have a sprayon liner professionally installed, another expensive process. This has all changed with the introduction this year of the first doit-yourself brush-on bed liner kit. Its price is less than $100. The kit comes with one gallon of specially ^sglSj formulated polyurethane textured coating, application brush, two rollers, roller handle and an abrasive cleaning pad. One gallon will effectively cover a sixfoot truck bed. Extra quarts are available for eight-foot beds. The application process is boiled down to three steps: first, prepping the truck bed; second, brushing and rolling the coating on the bed surface; and last, drying time. Preparing the bed is a simple matter of cleaning the bed surface and masking off the truck bed perimeter to ensure that the i paint does not get on unwanted areas. It is then applied to the bed using the brush and rollers included in the kit; the entire application process takes three to four hours. After 90 minutes the bed is dry to the touch and is ready for light use in six [ to eight hour?.

It also includes being environmentally responsible when disposing of used oil filters. “Businesses, municipalities, and individuals across the nation now recognize the environmental and economic advantages of recycling used oil filters,” said Brent Hazelett, executive director of the Filter Manufacturers Council and director of Environmental Affairs for the MEMAEnvironmental Institute. “We have certainly come a long way, from nearly zero used oil filters recycled to more than 100 million annually, but we still have a great challenge ahead.” Steel scrap, including recycled oil filters, is a vital ingredient in me steeimaKing , process. Approximately 200,000 tons of steel would be recovered if all the filters sold in the US annually were recycled. Filters that are not recycled contribute to the existing landfill problem. The Filter Manufacturers Council (FMC) is devoted to increasing the recycling rate of used oil filters across the nation by heightening consumer awareness. The FMC established the Used Filter Recycling Hotline, 1(800) 93FILTER (933-4583), to provide support information to business owners establishing filter recycling collection programs, specifically regulatory information, and a list of companies offering recycling services. Three brochures are also available from the FMC, published in cooperation with the Steel Recycling Institute (SRI). The partnership was developed to provide home mechanics and oil change businesses with information on used oil filters. The first brochure details steps for recycling oil filters for “do-it-yourself’ mechanics, while the second provides tips for businesses to establish an oil filter collection and recycling program. The third brochure is entitled “How to choose a filter management service ” and gives tips on how to choose a proper filter transporter, processor, or recycler for your business. Businesses can obtain copies of the brochures and any other information on filter recycling by calling the Used Filter Recycling Hotline at 1(800) 9334583. This information can also be retrieved from the FMC website at www.filtercouncil.org . The website will allow users to access state regulations and gain instant information.

Q&A: ask Cathy I own a 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. At times my car will not VJr' start (won’t crank), but I have radiVand headlights. It is a very intermittent problem. This is very frustrating; yesterday after I got a ride to work my husband went out, and the car started. Do you have any ideas? A. Believe it or not we have several customers with your exact concern. There are a few things you can do to help determine the problem. However, because the condition is intermittent, it could be difficult. Your vehicle is equipped with a VSS (vehicle security system) with a computer chip in the key. Sometimes, especially if you use the key often, it can wear out. Exchange keys with your husband and try his for a while. The other possibilities include a battery or starter problem. At a repair shop they can load test the battery and also check the starter for excessive amperage draw. r The best thing that can happen is for the car to not start while it’s in the shop. I have a 1991 Buick Regal with i_la V-6. I had the water pump Vjr replaced recently because it was lealwng. Since then another problem has developed: at times the car will stall and won’t restart until I let it sit for a while. It’s impossible to depend on the car. Could the water pump have anything to do with this stalling condition? My first reaction would be to say it is a coincidence. But after ■A. ^researching your particular vehicle, it could be related. There is a crankshaft sensor located directly underneath the water pump. This sensor may have been damaged in the process of replacing the pump. I suggest taking your vehicle back to the shop where the work was done. Explain to them what you have had done to the car and its current problem This sensor can be tested. If it’s O.K., you may need to have a few other diagnostic tests performed. As with any diagnostic work, the more information you can give your technician the better. . I have a 1994 Olds Achieva, and it keeps wearing out serpen tine belts. Every 15,000 miles I havWo replace the belt. What would make the belt go bad so often? A . On today’s vehicle’s one belt runs everything. There is a tenA. -Asioner that is spring loaded and controls the proper tension on the belt. These tensioners can seize up or actually not hold any tension on the belt, causing it to wear out prematurely. You can remove the belt and check the tensioner for movement. Also check the other pulleys such as the water pump, alternator and power steering for any looseness or excessive tightness. Q. When I get my oil changed they always put a “next service due” sticker on my windshield. It tells me to change my oil after another 3,000 miles. I checked my owner’s manual, which says I should change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles. Who do I believe? . Congratulations on having gone to the trouble of looking up JL Ayour question in the owner’s manual. You may have noted the manufacturer’s definition of “severe service,” more stop and go driving and other factors that require more frequent oil changes. The longer interval is based on ideal conditions, i.e. steady driving in moderate temperatures. More often than not, the 3,000-mile oil/filter change is a good idea for extending the life of your vehicle. It’s inexpensive insurance; stick with it.

Spitfire From Page 4 Included in the price was a workshop manual, my “instructions for assembly.” We closed the deal. The adventure begins I returned to the seller’s house on a Wednesday afternoon, and even as we loaded the car on a trailer for the trip home, he kept finding more parts in his garage and shed to send home with me — a tonneau cover here, a convertible boot there, a coffee-can full of nuts and bolts from somewhere else. And also, extra parts from yet another Spitfire he’d stripped. I was almost overwhelmed. Before I lined up the trailer to haul the car, I made one more decision that would make the process of getting the car back on the road much easier and less expensive: I went ahead and bought the rusted-out ‘75 in Winchester for parts. Not only would it provide an endless supply of small parts, fasteners, and a hardtop — I had a full-scale template of where things should go. I got both cars home, and began tinkering in earnest. As the former owner warned me, parts were expensive — but not that hard to locate. Immediate needs, like rebuilding the clutch master cylinder so the car could be moved, were no problem. Those parts, as well as some other rubber parts and gaskets, are still being produced internationally and are available at local parts stores by special order. I took advantage of that every time I could. However, since the last Triumph dealer closed nearly two decades ago, parts that are specific to Spitfires have become harder to find. But conducting searches on the Internet has made it easier. By simply typing in “Triumph Spitfire Parts,” on the Search, I was able to connect with several suppliers in North America and The U. K. specializing in replacement parts. And then there are the links to car clubs, where technical advice and leads on hard-to-get parts can be found. Really getting into it, I decided to install an aftermarket ignition system to replace the original Lucas ignition, which failed shortly after getting the car home. Before reassembly could begin, I had to do some minor bodywork and get the car its long-overdue paint job. That wasn’t too hard, and the local shop that had painted my earlier Spitfires took care of the final finishing. Reassembly Hopefully, I’ll have the car totally completed by the time warm weather is here to stay. But there’s no rush. Many of the boxes that came with the car are empty rjow, but there is a large residue of screws, clips and other See SPITFIRE, Page 14 I New Ford Customer Diesel Extra 8323 W.

Spitfire From Page 13 small parts — duplicates of those taken off the parts car, no doubt. The hardest part proved to be reassembling the door handles and locks, and getting the window glass in so that it goes up and down smoothly- lyEven though I have Several good workshop manuals, they don’t tell you everything you need to know. Later, after I get the car on the road, I may find I need to do some additional mechanical work, and of course the routine maintenance that is all part of “car care.” Nearly finished now, I’m thinking about joining a Triumph car club, or attending the all-Triumph rally ne*t month in Richmond. If I keep the car until it turns 25 in 2005, I can register it as an antique, rather than an oddity. We’ll see. But in the meantime, it will be something I enjoy “caring for,” as well as driving. 66 I’m thinking about joining a Triumph car club... murnm Times Newspapers Staff Photo/John Toler GOOD AS NEW: After months of ‘tinkering,’ the Spitfire is nearly ready for a spin in the warm spring air.

NAMESAKE: Which good-looking car is named after this sleek animal? Car makers play the name game What do an impala, a cougar and a wildcat have in common? They’re legendary members of the animal kingdom that have had cars named for them.

In retrospect, these names seldom reflected the personalities of their cars, and certainly not the owners. . How many car names can you match with these model designations? A. Hornet B. Tempest C.
