4 sAUp 33rd YEAR, NO. 4 USPS45558C 8 Pages THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1982 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 673-3349 20' k — Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutch LAST WEEK S BLANKET of snow turned the Rappahannock countryside into a winter scene from Currier and Ives. But below freezing temperatures kept the ground covered with snow and a later icing of freezing rain. This week, as youngsters missed six days in a row (and still counting) of school and many back roads remained impassable except with chains, even winter enthusiasts became less enchanted with the season. Planners Clarify Zoning Regulations Zoning administrator David Konick sought guidance from the Rappahannock planning commissioners at last Wednesday’s meeting on interpretation and enforcement of zoning regulations. At the same time, he offered some guidance of his own, recommending that the commissioners act immediately to amend certain sections of the county’s zoning and subdivisions ordinances, areas which Konick feels are too critical to delay revising until the ongoing ordinance reviewprocess is completed. In the First instance, Konick asked for advice on handling a subdivision request from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Neal of Castleton. The Neals want to divide a 37acre tract into a 30-acre lot and a seven-acre lot. The land was purchased as two separate parcels—30 acres and seven acres—but the 30-acre parcel includes the Neals’ house. The couple is seeking to redivide the land into a 30-acre unimproved parcel and a seven-acre parcel with house, arid then plans to sell the larger, unimproved piece. The former zoning administrator ruled that the Neals needed a variance for their proposed subdivision since he determined that the property was zoned residential subdivision and the ordinance prohibits division of land previously rezoned to that category. The Neals’ variance application was tabled initially by the board of zoning appeals, pending legal advice, then sent to the supervisors who relayed it to the new zoning administrator. Zoned Agricultural On Wednesday, Konick told the planning commissioners that the Neals bought the 30-acre parcel, part of the old Noce tract subdivided by Oscar Lindgren, in 1970 when the property was still zoned agricultural. "There’s no statement in the plat (of the seven acre lot) as to how it was approved. I’m operating on the ■Heart Drive Underway ( 1 As volunteers start the drive for funds for American Heart Association this year they are being asked several questions, according to Mrs. Virginia Cloud, chairman of Rappahannock county group. Some donors will ask why they should give. The answer is that half of the deaths in the state are caused by heart disease, stroke and related causes. High blood pressure is one of the causes, often not recognized or reated until it is too late. The fight against early death and disability from heart disease and stroke depends upon contributions from the people. Funds are raised by donations, and the job is being done by volunteers to keep the cost low. Grants from foundations, gifts from corporations, memorials and proceeds from special fund raising events also are used in financing the research needed. Of every dollar given 75 percent remains in the state and local programs. The balance of 25 percent goes to the National Center for research awards and grants, and to develope community service programs. Mrs. Cloud says "We are fighting every day to save the lives of heart attack victims and stroke victims, working to reduce the risks and to keep a heart attack from ever happening.” The goal for Rappahannock is $3000 for this year. assumption that Col. McNear (former zoning administrator Evan McNear) approved it as an exchange between adjoining landowners.” Konick said. (Land divisions which are exchanges between adjoining landowners are exempted from compliance with the subdivision ordinance as long as the residue left from the exchange meets minimum lot standards and the portion transferred is merged with the land already held by the new owner.) Konick said that only the seven-acre parcel bought by the Neals in 1980 is zoned residential subdivision. He noted, however, that the Neals’ property is served bv a private road. “1 thought it had been a prerequisite for all that subdivision (of the entire Lindgren-Noce tract) that the road had to be dedicated to public use...It’s not shown on the plat as such and it hasn’t been signed by the highway department (indicating acceptance of the road into the state system).” Before the state will accept (Continued on Page 8) Burning Wood Requires Safety Precautions And Maintenance WOODSTOVES heat businesses as well as homes in Rappahannock. Karen Foster, secretary at Eileen Day Realty in Washington loads up with logs. By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON KapiMhannork Nrwii Staff * rilrr To date, Rappahannock has escaped the epidemic of chimney fires that has swept surrounding counties. But rather than knocking on wood in hopes of continuing their lucky streak, wood stove owners and romantics who enjoy a blazing fire in the fireplace should take steps to change luck to good safety practices. “You can tell that you’re having a chimney fire if it sounds like a 747 jet is coming through the living room,” said Flint Hill chimney sweep Bruce Vierling who took up the trade after almost losing his hpuse to a chimney fire. Chimney blazes occur when creosote, a chemical substance that forms when wood bums, catches fire. “Wood is at least 30 percent moisture, even if it was cut five years ago and stored nice and dry underneath the house ever since,” Vierling noted. When wood burns, that moisture goes up the chimney as steam, carrying creosote gases along. With a fire place, oxygen races up the chimney behind the creosote laden steam, forcing it out of the chimney before it has time to cool and condense on the chimney walls, Vierling explained. But with a wood stove, particularly the new air-tight models, oxygen drifts slowly up the chimney, giving the vapor more chance to condense back into water upon contact with the colder chimney walls and coating the walls with creosote. Two Type* Of Cresote There are two kinds of creosote—a crystal type that is easily brushed off and a shiny, tar-like type that is extremely difficult to remove, according to Vierling. A slowly burning, banked fire in one of the newer airtight wood stoves provides plenty of heat; at the same time, it provides plenty of tar-like creosote, the chimney sweep noted. To change the sticky hardto-remove creosote into the easily brushed away crystal variety, Vierling advised burning a hot fire in the wood stove once a day with controls open to provide lots of oxygen. Fireplace chimneys need cleaning every two or three years while the chimney for a wood stove must be cleaned at least once every burning season and sometimes even more frequently. “One reason why fireplaces need cleaning less often is because we burn great big, hot crackling fires in them,” Vierling said. To keep creosote build-up at a minimum, the Home Heating Fact Sheet put out by the National Fire Protection Association advises burning only seasoned hardwood that has been cut and dried at least 12 months. Green wood releases more moisture and contributes to creosote formation. According to the Virginia Division of Forestry, dry wood also provides 20-30 percent more heat for dollar spent: Approximate Heating Value Per Standard Cord Wood Million BTU+ Green Air-dryed Hickory Black Locust Apple Oak, White Beech Oak, Red Birch Pine, Southern Yellow Ash Cherry Maple, Red Elm Poplar Pine, White Basswood 20.7 20.7 20.1 19.2 17.3 17.9 17.3 14.2 16.5 15.1 15.0 14.3 11.5 12.1 10.0 24.6 24.6 23.9 22.7 21.8 21.3 21.3 20.5 20.0 18.8 186 17 2 13.7 13.3 11.7 (Continued on Page 8) Primary Snow Budget: 71% Already Spent By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff VI riter Snow dumped on the county by winter storms in the past three weeks continues to ice over secondary roads at the same time that it’s melting down Rappahannock’s snow removal budget. According the highway department resident engineer Don Askew $88,000 was allocated this winter for snow removal from primary roads. Of that amount, $63,000 or 71 percent has been spent as of this week. The budget for secondary road snow clearance on secondary roads is in better shape with $18,000 or 45 percent expended from the $40,000 allocated. “We spend more manpower and chemicals— especially chemicals—on the primary roads because we have two going over mountains in Rappahannock," Askew explained. But despite the money and labor, secondary roads continue to be iced over, resulting in tne county s public schools closing 11 days so far in the 1981-82 school year. According to Askew, it’s “the same old story...No matter what the financial status of the highway department, we cannot possibly afford to spread chemicals on secondary roads statewide. We do put abrasives and salt on hills and curves of secondary roads where you physically can’t get up but people have to prepare themselves for travel (using snow tires and chains). We just can’t do it for them,” the resident engineer said. Once snow removal funds allocated to the county are exhausted, the highway department will "keep spending,” Askew noted, explaining that the shortfall for snow removal will have to come from a construction fund that's already severely limited. “There is some money there but not much. We’ll just have to push construction projects back a year or so if it becomes necessary. "There’s no question about it. The highway department’s first priority is maintenance and the first priority of maintenance is snow removal,’’ Askew emphasized. “We have to keep the roads open. They are the life lines of the state.” Same Statewide It isn’t just Rappahannock’s budget that’s feeling the pinch of the worst winter in decades. Askew said he'd heard two reports from Richmond: the first had the entire $19 million allocated for snow removal this winter statewide already spent and the second report had it 80 percent gone. “It’s been a long grind. We've had 10 or 12 days of r almost continual snow. But we haven't had the big one yet and that’s the drifting snow,” he said, adding that snows with high winds generally accompany storms that blow in from the Gulf. With the highway department desperately short of funds, its weather reporting service was one of the first items to be cut in recent belt tightening moves. Askew said he doesn’t particularly miss that service since it was seldom any more accurate' than weather projections from other sources. ”1 tune in every night to watch the weather forecast on television, just like everybody else,” he concluded, adding that he’s received no information yet on what the remaining two months of winter, traditionally Virginia's snowiest, may bring. For a hint on what’s to come, the resident engineer could join the groundhog (Continued on Page 2) Listen For Closings A decision to close public' schools in Rappahannock will be announced through the stations listed below.

M.G. Millner, left, and Trooper C.A. Moore. Trooper Moore on Monday became the second person to receive the Superintendent’s Distinguished and Extraordinary Act Award since it was established in 1978. Trooper Moore Receives An Award For Valor Virginia State Trooper C.A. “Chuck” Moore of Washington was presented with the Superintendent’s Distinguished and Extraordinary Act Award in special ceremonies held Monday, January 25, at state police administrative headquarters in Richmond. Moore was named recipient of the Department's highest honor for his response to an incident which occurred July 21, 1981, when, with disregard for personal safety, he responded quickly and appropriately in an attempt to save the life of a fellow human being. Arriving at a site near his home, Moore observed an individual standing in a pond with only his head above water. The trooper was informed by Rappahannock County Sheriff W.A. Buntin and his deputy, John Henry Woodward, who were on the scene, that the person was emotionally unstable. Trooper Moore then ran approximately 200 yards away to obtain a ladder to extend to the person. Upon his return, he found the person had gone underwater, and he and Sheriff Buntin im mediately dove into the pond. Locating the subject, Trooper Moore and Sheriff Buntin brought him to shore where Trooper Moore and Deputy Woodward administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until the Flint Hill Rescue Squad arrived approximately 15 minutes later. Moore, who is currently stationed in area 13 with headquarters in Warrenton, received the Distinguished and Extraordinary Act Award from Colonel D.M. Slane, Department superintendent. y

Box 2118 Richmond, Virginia 23216 Potomac Edison m^ Part of the Allegheny Power System Teachers’ Workshop The Rappahannock County Education Association has invited Helen Rolfe of the Virginia Education Association to lead a workshop on improving classroom discipline. The workshop will be held at the elementary school from 3:30 to 5:00, in two sessions, February 15 and 22. All interested teachers and substitutes are invited to attend. R.C.E.A. president Diane Wood believes that the workshop will be beneficial: “Rappahannock is blessed with comparatively few discipline problems, but teachers need to be made aware of effective methods of dealing with them. It helps to develop a firm, fair, and consistent classroom policy.” Although good classroom discipline is largely the responsibility of the teacher, parents can help at home in several ways: by providing the child with a good diet and adequate nutrition; by showing interest in the child’s school work, and most importantly, by providing love and stability in the home. Local Actors In “Salesman” The Warren County Athletic Association in conjunction with Reynolds Productions began rehearsals this past wei k for the Pulitzer Prize winning play, “Death of a Salesman.” Representing Rappahannock in the production are Stuart Eiland, Barbara Kasbohm and Julie Burke. According to director Jim Reynolds, a powerful cast has been assembled from Rappahannock, Warren and Frederick Counties for this famous play about a defeated, aging drummer who has come to the end of his rope, no longer able to pretend to a debonair cheerfulness “on a shoeshine and a smile.” Eiland will play one of the Bland Contest Talented young musicians are encouraged to take part in the Lions Club state-wide music competition beginning next month. Rappahannock Lions President Ashton Baines announced that local high school vocalists and instrumentalists will be eligible to compete locally and advance up the ladder through zone and regional contests to the state competition in May, where a total of $7,400 in scholarships will be awarded to winners in both categories. First place winners will each receive $1,500; second place, $800; third place, $500, and so on.

For several years, Mike worked at his place nights and weekends while holding down a full-time job in Culpeper. Eighteen months ago he decided to give up the steady income of his foundry job and live with the ups and downs of a small business. Has his workload gotten lighter? “No, it hasn’t,” Mike said. “But at least I’m here, near my family. I may work a lot of hours but they" see me and Yrti right here if they need Mike grew up with the intention of some day owning his own service station. His father, Robert W. (“Buck”) Brown, ran a gas station where the school bus shop is ndw, and moved to Mike’s present location a few years before his death in 1969. Mike at that time was nineteen, too young to run the station himself, so he left the county for several years, staying in Washington, D. C. for a year and Culpeper for several more years. He's glad to be back as a full-time resident and businessman: “I couldn’t think of a better place to live,” Mike said. And many people in the Washington-Sperryville area are glad he’s here full-time now. Folks know that they can call him if they’re in a jam and he'll do whatever he possibly can to help at any hour of the day or night. Mike’s reputation as a good neighbor ultimately benefits his business but it also makes for a hectic life at times for the Browns. Mike told me a story of something that happened to him recently on a snowy Sunday night. “I knew I had to get up and help some people scrape off their lots two sons who exemplify the Oscar Wilde epigram that children first love their parents, then judge them, but rarely forgive them. Kasbohm and Burke will both fill supporting roles in the production which is scheduled to play March 5, 6 and 7 in the Warren County High School auditorium. Proceeds from the play will go for Warren County athletic programs. Anyone interested in helping should attend the meeting of technical staff and crew on Thursday, January 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the choral room of Warren County High School or contact Joe Brogan (635-5637), Sweeney Shiflett (635-8865) or Midge Reynolds (635-3559). compete together in the first round on Sunday, February 21, beginning at 2 p.m. at Marshall Junior High School in Marshall. Applications must be on file by Feb. 10th. Blanks may be picked up from Mrs. Judy Bomberger, Rappahannock County High School Music instructor; or contact Lions President Baines in Washington. The competition is named for, and held each year in honor of James A.

Since 1972 and I decided to do it before my regular business hours so that I wouldn’t get behind. I was going to get up at 5:30 so I went to bed at 9:30 - I was tired anyway. Well, 1 got a call for the wrecker to get someone out of a ditch and 1 told him that I was going out anyway to scrape off some lots. I saw my wife looking at me as if 1 were crazy - it was still the middle of the niHu but I was so sleepy I thought it was time to get up. The guy on the phone didn’t think anything of it. He just said, ‘Well, 1 thought you were working day and night anyway.’ ” The man in the ditch wasn’t far wrong about Mike’s schedule these days. Cold weather and snow have given him a flood of batteries to start and carburetors to work on. On the other hand, Mike said, gas sales are way off and have been since the completion of Route 66 to Front Royal. To make it in these difficult times, it is necessary to do a little bit of everything. Besides providing general repair service, wrecker service, gasoline and oil sales, plus the sale of used vehicles, he has a small convenience grocery. “1 don’t’ always know exactly how we’re doing with every little thing, but 1 figure if we do enough of several things, then we’ll make it,” Brown said. Mike had some special words of praise for his mechanic, Mike Cave, who has been with him since shortly after he opened and supervised the business during the difficult years when Mike Brown couldn’t be there during the day. “The more 1 see him, the more I realize how good a mechanic he is,” Mike said. “1 truly think—and I would say this even if he worked somewhere else - that he is one of the best mechanics around here.” Right now, B & B has enough business to expand but problems with his present location make it hard for him to plan ahead. “I hate it when people have to wait because we don’t have enough space,” he said. Mike’s wife, Judy, and children Kelly, 11 and Mike, Jr., 6, now share Mike’s opinion of the county where he grew up. And Mike is optimistic about the future. “We try to be fair,” he said. “If we make mistakes, we admit them and correct them. I’d much rather do business that way. To be fair, to be proud of the work you do, to provide a service, to help people and make a living at it - that’s what I’ve always wanted to do.” Wintry Onslaught (Continued from Page 1) watchers who will have their eyes peeled next Tuesday, Groundhog Day. Old Holiday As a holiday, February 2 goes back to the Middle Ages when it was known as a Witches Sabbath, one of four such days each year. On a Witches Sabbath, witches were believed to ride their broomsticks, rakes or pokers to a quarterly meeting. The other gathering dates were Roodmas on April 30; Lammas, August 1; and Halloween, October 31. In many Christian countries, February 2 was celebrated as an important religious holiday known as Candlemas Day of Purification of the Virgin. The celebration was held 40 days after Christmas as the time Mary was believed to have presented Jesus at the temple. At Catholic churches, worshippers carried candles in a procession to Mass. Candlemas was considered an excellent time for forecasting the weather since it was sort of a half-time during winter. Animals were thought to be good prognosticators of the weather and in Europe a badger was believed to have been blessed with special meterological forecasting powers. If the badger came out of his hole at noon on a sunny February 2 and saw his shadow, he would go back inside and hibernate a few more weeks. If the day was gloomy and he found no shadow, he would remain outside, presaging an early spring. He did all this without the aid of charts, barometers or radar but people took his actions to heart. They followed the custom that animals knew more than people did about certain things and if the badger predicted a long winter, they judged their supplies of wood and food accordingly. Words of an old song illustrate that belief: ‘‘If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, there’ll be two winters in the year. Longer Winter In much of Europe, winter was supposed to have lasted from four weeks before Christmas until four weeks afterward but the Germans who emigrated to Pennsylvania found the winters more severe here. Hence, they bemoaned the six more weeks of winter heard of today. They adopted the “grand ox” (ground ox), which was the German name for woodchuck, as their prophet. The word later became part of the English language as groundhog. February 2 developed a particularly interesting tradition among the funloving Pennsylvania Germans. Groups organized into groundhog lodges which would hold meetings to observe the behavior of their chosen animal on its appointed day. There would be some eating, drinking and general frolicking and fellowship in addition to the serious business of watching for the weather forecast. As the German settlers migrated south and west, they brought their customs with them. While there were never organized lodges among Shenandoah Valley and Piedmont settlers, there were some in other parts of Virginia, notably in Highland County. Today, the weatherforecasting aspect of groundhog lore remains. F&M Net Income 1981 income was down slightly for F & M National Corporation. Net income for the year was S2.167 million or SI.30 per share compared to S2.17S million or SI.29 per share for 1980. Fourth quarter net income was S534 thousand or 33 cents per share down from S749.5 thousand or 44 cents per share for the same quarter of 1980. KEROAJN B«cous« you don't hovo monoy to burn.

Current State Police tabulations show that 1,011 persons were killed on the State's highways during the past year compared to 1,045 in 1980; 1,014 in 1979 and 989 in 1963. However, final figures will also include any deaths which eventually result from a motor vehicle crash and occur within 30 days of the crash. Virginia most certainly will have a mark to be proud of in terms of pedestrian safety. State Police figures indicate the total highway fatalities include 158 pedestrians, the fewest since 1961 when 157 pedestrians died. In fact, the 158 total would be the fourth lowest count since Virginia began keeping pedestrian figures in 1934. The record for fewest pedestrians killed is 151 in 1958. "The Department, other highway safety-related agencies, motorists in general and the media can all take a great deal of pride in their contributions to this achievement," said Colonel D. M. Slane, Department of State Police Superintendent. "I believe it is a direct result of the tremendous effort put forth each year in Virginia by many people and reflects the great importance the Commonwealth places on highway safety." 4-4-+4All doors are open to courtesy. — Rappahannock, News |*hut<»/T.

Because of weather-related illnesses, fewer donors normally appear in the winter, compared to other times of the year. At the same time, the recent snow and ice that made driving conditions hazardous increased the number of automobile accidents, which always are a heavy drain on blood banks. Red Cross Blood Services officials all over the country have been urging people to give blood as the supply of type-O, in particular, shrinks to critical levels. Type-O is what the majority of blood recipients require. It also is what patients are given when an emergency does not permit hospital technicians time to match a patient’s blood. A donor can be anyone between the ages of 17 and 65, who is in generally good health, has not had any injections, including penicillin, in the past two weeks, and who has not donated blood in the past two months. The quota for this appearance of the bloodmobile is 100 units (a unit is approximately one pint). If the quota is not made Feb. 4. Fauquier chapter officials fear that it may not be possible to attain its quota of 1,200 units for the fiscal year that ends June 30. Up to this point in the fiscal year, only one blood drive in the area served by the Fauquier chapter has met its quota. Fauquier Hospital annually uses more blcod than is contributed here. The shortfall in the past has been made up by the Washington Region, which serves parts of Maryland and West Virginia, in addition to the District of Columbia and Virginia. But the Washington Region itself cannot always meet quotas, so blood officials worry over what will happen if blood donations by residents of this area continue to fall below the requirements of Fauquier Hospital.

But before you run to the bank for the money, take a second look. Chances are you might be better off to keep the mortgage and put the prepayment cash in savings or securities. With a mortgage that is old, the interest on the debt and the interest you'd get from the savings would probably be not too far apart. With the right investment, you might even get a higher rate of return. The advantage is that you have a cash reserve while still earning almost as much, if not more than you would save by paying off the debt. And don’t forget the tax breaks on the mortgage loan. You can deduct mortgage interest which, in effect, reduces the amount of interest you pay. How much? If your original loan rate was 8 percent and you fall into the 25 percent bracket, your mortgage really costs you 6 percent.

Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, January 28,1982 Tough Crime Bills Dominate Early Action In The General Assembly By SKA'S ADAMS \ruml«-l N«*%*-|>a|M*o*. Hichmond Burrau Several bills were introduced last week in the General Assembly to crack down on drunken drivers. One bill, patroned by Sen. A. Joe Canada Jr. (R-Virginia Beach), would establish mandatory sentences for first offenders. The new law would require first offenders to serve a 48-hour jail term or their license would be suepended for at least W days, even if the person entered an alcohol rehabilitation program. The bill also would toughen both sentences and fines for repeat offenders. Sen. Canada presented his bill, which was modeled after California laws, at a news conference last week. He was accompanied by Susan Midgette. president of the Virginia chapter of Mothers Against Drunken Driving (MADD). and by Lillian DeVenny. vice president of the state chapter of MADD. Both Mrs. Midgette and Mrs. DeVenny told reporters they each had one child who was killed oy a drunken driver. "This has got to be treated like a crime." Mrs. Midgette said. Another bill, co-sponsored by Del. Kenneth R. Plus (DFairfax). would treat a person's first entry into an alcohol rehabilitation program as a prior conviction for the purpose of imposing penalties. Sen. Waddell also sponsored two Senate joint resolutions. One would honor Vietman War veterans and the other would ask the Federal Highway Administration to aid handicapped persons by indicating, on highway signs, which commercial establish ments along federal highways "offer barrier-free acicapped. Criminal Trial Changes Sen. Herbert H. Bateman (R-Newport News) introduced two bills in the Senate that would alter the way judges and juries handle criminal trials. The first bill would give judges the authority to sentence defendants in most criminal cases, a duty now handled largely by juries. In such cases, juries still would determine a defendant's guilt or innocence. But Sen. Bateman said judges, after receiving a jury's verdict, would be able to consider additional evidence, including the defendant's prior criminal record, in imposing sentences "on a more intelligent and rationals basis.” In those instances, judges would be able to determine the sentence except in cases of capital murder in which the death penalty could be imposed. In the event that bill fails. Sen. Bateman said, he has introduced a second Dili tnai would establish two-part or "bifurcated" trials, in which juries would first determine guilt or innocence and then, in a separate proceeding, impose a sentence. Sen. Bateman said he prefers the first bill, which he introduced in 1980, but it was killed on the House floor last year. Firearm Penalties Del. A. Victor Thomas (DRoanoke) introduced a bill last week that would increase the penalty for using or displaying a firearm in the commission of a felony. The bill, referred to the House Courts of Justice Committee, would increase the penalty for a person using a firearm in certain felonies from one to three years for a first conviction. For a second conviction, the penalty would be raised from three to five yearsThe bill, which has 62 copatrons. also would eliminate suspended sentences for such offenses and would not allow a person convicted of such an offense to be placed on probation. Co-sponsors of the bill include Dels. George P. Beard Jr. (R-Culpeper) and Raymond R- "Andy" Guest Jr. (R-Warren). Del. Guest and Del. Beard agreed that the stricter penalties were needed to discourage the use of firearms in the commission of felonies. Fire Company Volunteers Sen. Charles L. Waddel (D-Loudoun) has introduced a bill in the Senate that would allow local governments to establish an ordinance allowing persons 16 years of age or older to work in volunteer fire companies. The bill, co-sponsored by Del. Kenneth B. Rollins (RLoudoun). would allow such persons 10 worn in voiuiueer fire companies as long as they have a minimum of 70 hours training and instruction from the Office of Fire Services Training. ABC License Increase The Senate Finance Committee approved a bill last week that would raise fees from those who seek licenses under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act. The bill, introduced by Sen. Adelard L. Brault (DFairfax). would raise the fee for an on-premises wine and beer license from S80 a yeai to SlbO.

An official from the Alcholic Beverage Control Commission told the committee that increases are necessary because revenues from license fees are projected to be $600,000 less than operating costs for the state if license fees are not increased. The fees have not been increased since 1972, the official said.

Hutrhinaon COORDINATOR of the free cheese distribution, Mrs. Lyle Rector, has begun sending out authorization slips to Supplemental Security Income and food stamp recipients. Experienced in this type of program, she worked with the welfare department's commodities distribution before it was discontinued. Cheese Distribution Set For February The Rappahannock Welfare Department will begin distributing surplus cheese on Tuesday, February 9, at 9 a.m. and continue through noon on Friday, February 12, in the reception area of the food stamp unit downstairs in the department’s Washington offices. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and food stamp recipients are eligible to receive the cheese. Each person who has been determined eligible will get an authorization slip from the department through the mail. The authorization slip will list the day and time the cheese is to be picked up and the number of pounds due. The slip must be brought in to the welfare offices to be traded for the correct amount of cheese. If an SSI household has not received an authorization slip by February 8, the welfare office should be called at 675-3613. A representative may bring in the authorization slip and pick up cheese for a food stamp or SSI recipient. Any aged or disabled person unable to pick up their cheese should call the welfare office before the day assigned for pick up so that other arrangements can be made. The welfare office has no capacity for cheese storage; therefore, all cheese not issued by the last day of the distribution program will be disposed of according to instructions from the Department of Agriculture. The processed American cheese, to be given away in five-pound blocks, has been accumulated by the federal government through price support programs. The Rappahannock Welfare Department needs volunteers to work half-day shifts to help distribute the cheese. Shifts will run from 9-12 a.m. and from 1-4 p.m. Anyone interested in donating a half-day of their time should contact the department at 675-3200. Back Payments Limited It is important for people who plan to apply for Social Security benefits to do so 2 or 3 months before they want benefits to begin, or, at least as soon as possible after they become eligible, according to Bruce Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper. This is because payments for months before the month the application is made are limited by law. The general rules are: —Workers 65 and over, widows. widowers. and parents 62 and over—Back payments are limited to no more than 6 months, but none before the month the person becomes 65 foi workers, or 62 for widows widowers, and parents. —Workers under 65 and widows and widowers undei 62—In general, no payment; can be made for month; before the month of ap plication. — Disabled workers widows, and widowers—BacI payments can be made for uj to 12 months before th< month of application, but no before the 6th full month o disability. Hundley said that peopli applying for benefits especially those applying fo reduced benefits—before 65 for workers or before 62 for survivors—should apply as soon as possible when they become eligible so they will not miss out on any possible benefit checks. More information about back payments and all other parts of Social Security can be obtained at the Culpeper Social Security office, located i at 522 Culpeper Shopping : Center. The telephone number is 825-3500. r : Historians believe fire was . discovered some 400,000 ’ years ago. The Little Fox Letters To The Editor Supported Bottle Bill To the editor, A bill requiring a 10 cents deposit on all beer and soft drink containers has been introduced into the Virginia Senate, now in session. Hearings on this bill in the Senate Agriculture and Conservation of Natural Resources Committee may occur as soon as February 8 or 15. Our representative. Senator Nathan Miller, is not a member of that committee, but he can inform members of the feelings of citizens in Rappahannock if we ask him to. Please take a few minutes to write to Senator Miller (Address: General Assembly Building, 910 Capitol St., Richmond, Va. 23219), to ask him to support the bill sponsored by Virginians for Returnables. The saving of energy and resources such a policy would effect are considerable, as anyone who has observed our roads and streams lately knows. The effect a container deposit law would have on costs of both litter and trash disposal would also be worthwhile to taxpayers. Farmers such as ourselves are particularly concerned with the hazards to cattle and farm machinery occasioned by cast-away bottles and cans. You can probably think of other good reasons for enactment of Senator Marye’s beverage container re-use and recycling bill (at this moment still without a number) which you will want to voice in your letter. If you type a letter, send a copy to Delegate Andrew Guest (samd address) since the House will act on the bill if it passes the Senate. DIANA BIRD Gratitude Expressed To the editor: This should have been in The News a month ago. Certainly 1 can’t let January get away without expressing our appreciation for all contributions of time, effort, and-or things to the doings in the public domain before Christmas which warmed the eyes, ears, hearts, and interiors of all who enjoyed those doings (sponsored, it should be added, by the Rappahannock Players, Inc., including the major funding).

Remember The Birds Th snow, sleet and subzero temperatures that have hit Rappahannock in the past few weeks have left families little time to ihink about anything but shoveling driveways, digging out cars and repairing burst water pipes. The weather has meant inconvenience and even hardship for humans; it is disaster, however, for birds if they don’t get a little help from friends in the form of supplemental food supplies. Sally Sharp of Washington provided the Rappahannock News with the following suggestions for dinners to serve cardinals, blue jays, finches and other fly-in visitors. Melt suet and fat and mix with dried ingredients, two parts suet to one part dry. The dried food can be bread crumbs, chopped nuts, seeds, chopped and dried apples, peaches, raisins or currants. The mix can be poured into half shells of grapefruit or coconuts and hung from a tree branch. It can be smeared into deep cracks in tree bark or poured over the branches of a discarded Christmas tree for the late bird who missed the worm. The suet mix also can be poured into an old empty can or ice cube tray, cooled, then dipped into hot water and turned out for a bird cake. Or it can be hung from a tree Sperryville By MKS.

In a small log two-feet-long and two-tothree inches in diameter, drill holes one inch in diameter and 1 ‘/2 inches deep. Press the suet mix into the holes and hang the stick from a tree or the eaves of the porch. A piece of a two-by-two or two-by-four board can be substituted for the log but it won't look quite so charmingly rustic. Favorite seeds to use in the suet mix include mullet, hemp, sunflower and seeds from the cucumber family (squash, watermelon, cantelope, etc.) Birds also will enjoy grains — whole, cracked, meal and hominy corn; popped and ground popcorn; whole or rolled oats; barley, wheat, buckwheat and soy beans.

Hutrhin**>n VI VIERLING is the Aunt Jane ’ of Aunt Jane’s sewing, mending and craft shop in Flint Hill. Vi Vierling Has Daytime Job As “Aunt Jane” In Unique Shop By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappnhannnck Staff VI ritrr Vi Vierling was just getting around to taking down the Christmas decorations at Aunt Jane’s last week. As owner, manager, sales person and sole employee of the little Flint Hill sewing and craft shop, she has been kept practically chained to the sewing machine by the demands of the new business. Since opening last August, she’s had almost more than she can sew, tailoring men’s suits, altering ladies' dresses and coats, creating stylish fashions and mending the rips and tears that working mothers no longer have the opportunity to take care of themselves. “1 do practically anything that involves clothing —men’s, women's or children’s,” said Vi, who started a sewing business as a Fit-in-as-you-can home occupation while she and her husband Bruce lived on Maryland s hastern bhore. "But I don’t do drapes—I would rather be shot! I hate to do them, even for myself. I’d much rather do clothes. And besides, if you spread yourself too thin, you’re not going to do anything well so I’d rather stick with what I like and do that well,” she said. Vi had visited Rappahannock for years before she moved with her husband and their daughter to his parent's weekend farm near Flint Hill two years ago. Initially, the couple jointly operated a business venture that's a long way from a sewing shop. “I used to clean chimneys. 1 worked with my husband as an assistant chimney sweep,'' she reported, grinning widely. "It was a wonderful job. I got to meet all kinds of neat people and saw the inside of so many nice houses. I picked up lots of decorating ideas for the home we’re going to build." But calls for the services of a sweep slack off in summer months and Vi found herself sitting around with nothing to do while Bruce worked on the family farm. "1 was really bored. I'd worked all my life," Vi recalled. Initially, she considered opening a craft store and then decided to combine that idea with her skills as a seamstress, ' basing the operation in the old Flint Hill warehouse owned by her husband's family so her new venture could avoid overhead. “I worked for a couple of months getting craft things done before I opened but since then, I haven't had the time for anything else but sewing—not even for my family's mending!” She's almost out of the crochet work, the applique potholders and place mats she loves to do, and now Vi has supplemented her stock with crafts created by others, turning Aunt Jane's into a showcase for local craftspeople. She offers macrame done by two young women from Manassas, embroidered tote bags and purses stitched freehand by a teacher from Warren County, clothespin dolls and yarn poodles made by the cousin of a friend and pillows, stuffed animals and stuffed pictures fashioned by a Front Royal woman. She’s proud of the successful operation that she’s created and managed. ‘‘I didn’t want to drive 60 miles to a job. And out here, it seems like people make their own jobs, their own niche. That’s what I’ve done." + + + +■ All doors are open to courtesy. —Thomas Fuller -FOOT FACTSDr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist “MORTON’S TOE” Many patients are told by their regular physician that they have "Morton's Toe" They can complain of numbness in their toes (most often in the third and fourth). This can be exacerbated by wearing shoes or by standing. They feel a burning cramping pain that can get quite severe What they are feeling is actually a pinched nerve tumor In a spot where the . nerve branches between two bones it is fairly common for the nerve to thicken and inflame. When the foot is put in a shoe the enlarged nerve gets pinched Removing the shoe and rubbing usually temporarily relieves the pain. This problem can be treated quite satisfactorily many times with medication alone If it persists it can be removed with complete relief of symptoms. Another name for this problem is "Morton's Neuroma" A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment. From the office of Or.

Wood Burning (Continued from Page 1) +B.T.U.—British Thermal Unit: the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. Steady Fire Best In addition to burning the right kind of wood, the National Fire Protection Association suggests that wood burners keep fires small but burning at a steady, brisk rate, adding fuel often rather than piling too much on at one time. Finally, to help avoid creosote build-up and possible ignition, have chimneys inspected and cleaned at least once a year. Chimney connections and chimney flues also should be checked periodically. With air-tight stoves, Vierling advised checking stove pipe regularly during the heating season for creosote accumulation. “If there's as much as onequarter inch of creosote, it’s time to clean!” Although a professional usually can be depended upon to do a better, more thorough job, a homeowner can clean a chimney himself, Vierling said. He offered a few tips for the novice sweep. When cleaning a fireplace chimney, remove the damper and then cover the front of the Fireplace with a sheet of newspaper so creosote and ash won’t fly all over the room. One person climbs up the roof and drops a rope down the chimney. A second person then ties a flue brush to the rope, working through a flap cut in the center of the fireplace covering. The flue brush is pulled up through the chimney, dislodging creosote that has accumulated on the walls. This process should be repeated several times, Vierling said, emphasizing liner and one brick backing. They can't withstand the 4.000 degree temperature of a chimney fire without suffering some structural damage,” he said. Also a factor in increased danger of chimney fires, Vierling said is that most stoves now are installed by the homeowner who is often more concerned about the interior design of the living room than with safety. Stoves should be placed on a fireproof base—quarter-inch asbestos millboard covered with sheet metal is often used. Clearances around the stove and piping are vital considerations because wood burning stoves produce large amounts of radiant heat. According to State Fawn Insurance Company’s booklet “Enjoy your wood burning stove—The Safe Way!”, pipes and stoves should be a minimum of 36 inces away from unprotected combustibles. • The configuration of the stovepipe and chimney is also an important factor in reducing creosote build-up. The pipe should be as short and have as few bends as possible. Superfluous elbows reduce effective draft and add turbulence, thus contributing to creosote accumulation. There are few professional stove installers operating in this area, Vierling acknowledged. He noted, however, that most wood stoves come with detailed, easy-to-understand directions on installing and that literature on the topic is also available from insurance companies, fire departments, fire safety organizations and VPI's Extension Service. What To Do But despite all the safety precautions in the world, chimney fires still will occur. What can you do then? Simply direct the nozzle into the chimney. Do not pour or spray water into the chimney. The rapid contraction caused by cooling will amost certainly break ti!es. 4. Check the chimney temperature. Feel the surface of the chimney anywhere you can put your hand on it. If it gets too hot to touch, summon help immediately. Continue checking repeatedly— a chimney fire may last almost an hour although most are over in minutes. 5. Check the outside. Sparks and embers will be blown out the chimney top and can ignite roofs or nearby brush. Go outside and see where they’re landing. 6. When it’s over, sweep the chimney and inspect for damage. Many people think that a chimney fire cleans the chimney. It doesn't. In fact, ash left from a chimney fire may have expanded to take up more flue area than the creosote did. It also often falls to the base of the chimney, forming a major block. When the chimney has been cleaned, carefully inspect it for damage. Has the fire cracked any tiles or knocked out mortar? 7. Resolve to> clean your chimney more often. “A wood stove is a producer of creosote and it takes maintenance,” Vierling emphasized. “It can save you a lot of dollars in fuel bills but it has to be cared for and watched or it can cost you a lot in heartbreak and headaches. You can’t just set it in a corner and forget about it. . . There are no safety devices on a wood stove. It’s up to the individual to provide the safety himself," the chimney sweep concluded. Regulations Clarified What’s In A Cord? With a county full of ' woodstoves and wooded hillsides, Rappahannock has both the supply, and the demand for firewood sales. But one of the burning questions in this type of business and one that has several answers, depending on whom you ask, is: how much wood is in a cord? A wood salesman will insist that his pick-up trucks holds a cord while the guy down the road will swear that there hasn’t been a pick-up truck built yet tnat can carry a cora. The Virginia Division of Forestry’s publication, Firewood for Home Heating, provides the definitive answer. The standard cord is a well-stacked pile of logs measuring eight feet long by four feet wide by four feet high (128 cubic feet—see illustration). If stacked firewood measures seven feet long, three feet high and the wood is two feet long, tne pile contains about onethird of a cord (7x3x2 equals 42 cubic feet; 42 divided by 128 equals .32 cords). Since most wood stoves and fireplaces hold wood two feet or less in length, the majority of firewood sales are on a “face cord” (rick) or pick-up truck load basis. A face cord is a pile of logs stacked eight feet long, four feet high, with the width being the length of the wood. The amount of wood on a pick-up load truck varies depending on whether the wood is tossed or stacked. Generally, a pick-up load of wood will range from one-fourth to one-half of a standard cord. the necessity of using a flue brush of the proper size for the chimney. He also noted the importance of cleaning the fire shelf as well as the chimney walls. “For a wood stove with a stove pipe entering the chimney flue through an opening, it becomes a little more difficult,” Vierling said. “You need to purchase special rods and brushes. Then you have to remove the pipe, close the flue hole and brush from the top of the chimney.” Inserts—stoves that have been installed in fireplaces—must be removed completely and the chimney then cleaned the same as with a standard fireplace, he said. Oldtime Method Oldtimers used to burn out the chimney, setting a deliberate chimney fire at the end of the heating season to burn off any accumulated creosote. This method of cleaning chimneys is neither safe nor practical, according to Vierling. He noted that today’s new air-tight wood stoves create substantially more creosote than earlier models. “Pips, they used to build great huge chimneys four or five bricks thick. Nowadays, most chimneys have a flue 1. Call the fire department. You may not need them but you are better safe than sorry; by the time it becomes apparent that you do need them, it will be too late. 2. Try to slow or stop the fire by depriving it of oxygen. In an air-tight stove this is relatively simple: close all draft controls. In a stove that is not air-tight, this won't put the fire out but it may cut the intensity. In a fireplace, you can cover the opening with a piece of plywood or similar material but beware of strong suction created by the chimney fire. A wet blanket can be draped over the fireplace screen to seal the opening but it must not be used without something to keep it from being sucked into the fire. Do not close the damper since smoke from the fire in the fireplace will come into the room. 3. Use a fire extinguisher, preferably a flare-like extinguisher designed specifically for chimney fires. Generally, they cost under $10. To use, break off the top and strike the end of the stick with the broken off top, just like a road flare. Then place it inside the stove or on the smoke shelf of the fireplace. Regular COE fire extinguishers also can be used. leontinued trom Page i) a publicly dedicated right-ofway, it must be built to state standards, planning commissioner Newbill Miller replied. “That’s a fairly expensive road,” he noted. The private road now serving the Neals’ lot and others cut from the Noce tract is a good road, but gravel surfaced, Konick said. “To meet state specifications (for taking the road into the state system) it would have to be hard surfaced,” Miller replied. Konick asked how the subdivision was approved in the first place without meeting ordinance requirements that lots be served by state—not private—roads. Okay For Large Lots For lots 25 acres or larger, Miller responded, a private gravel road is all that's required. He concluded, to the agreement of the rest of the planning commissioners, that the Neals subdivision can’t be approved (except by variance from the super visors) unless the private road which will serve the sevenacre lot is first dedicated to public use, built to state standards and accepted as part of the state system by the highway department. The second case on which the zoning administrator requested clarification involved Carson Johnson’s application for administrative approval of a land division. As trustee for the Piedmont Land Trust, Johnson initially sought last March to have the 145-acre tract near Sperryville rezoned to residential subdivision for a ten-lot development. After questions were raised regarding the adequacy of road access and validity of the residential subdivision zoning category, Johnson withdrew the rezoning application. A redesigned fourlot development proposal later was approved administratively by Col. McNear. Eleven acres were transferred to Johnson who is now seeking to deed 3.44 acres to adjoining landowner Susan Eaton who will merge the piece with her 70-acre tract, according to Konick. In addition, he said, Johnson wants to deed 1.582 acres to another adjoining landowner, George Hawkins, while retaining 5.744 acres of the original 11-acre piece. Konick noted, however, that deeding the two smaller pieces to the adjoining landowners will leave the residue unconnected to the remainder of Johnson’s land, a problem since the 11-acre parcel was approved initially — Rappahannock News Photo/S.

Wild Game Recipes From Long-Ago And Local Cooks By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock >fw» Staff Writer Early settlers of the Blue Ridge Mountains relied heavily on the game that was abundant here: bear, deer, rabbit, squirrel, coon, groundhog, possum and wild turkey. These they hunted mostly with the “long rifle" - so named because the gun had a long barrel making it possible to use slow-burning gunpowder. The settlers called the guns “KentuckyPennsylvania” rifles because of the Pennsylvania gun as a boundary adjustment. The 5.7 acre parcel also fails to meet zoning ordinance requirements on road frontage, of importance because Johnson plans to transfer the lot as a homesite, Konick noted. Without frontage on a state road, it will be necessary to build an access road to state standards and have it accepted into the state system, as was the case with the Neals, according to Konick. “I don’t see how it can be approved by the zoning administrator because of the non-conforming remnant,” responded Miller, expressing the consensus of the planning commissioners. Immediate Attention “1 have a list of things I think need immediate attention,” Konick continued,adding that he’d spoken with the supervisors and had been directed to bring his recommendations to the planning commission. He noted that some of his concerns are now being addressed in the review and revision of the county's zoning laws undertaken by the planning commission with assistance from professional planner Dick McNear. “But the revision of the ordinance has now been going on for approximately one year. I don’t think we’ll get a new ordinance before summer and I don’t think these will wait that long...Some of them have already come up and caused problems in the short time I’ve been on the job," Konick said. The zoning administrator s proposals included amendments to: —up the fee scale for building permits to cover cost of inspections which will be done by Fauquier’s building inspector at (100 for three inspections.* He suggested $125 for a residential building of 2,000 square feet or less and $200 for commercial buildings with permit fees for accessory buildings to remain at $10 unless an inspection, for instance for electrical wiring, is required. Konick also proposed raising fees for plat approval from $32.50 to $50. —add churches as a use allowed by right or with a special use permit in agricultural zones. —update zoning maps. Konick noted that currently, three zones (residential, residential business and residential subdivision are all delineated by the same green-colored line. —raise penalties for non smiths who developed them and the Kentucky settlers who relied on them. In time, though, the long rifles were made by local gunsmiths throughout the Shenandoah Valley. Also in these woods, then, according to past accounts, were wild buffalo, panther, wolf and fox but these were soldom sought for food. Today, because of managed hunting seasons and wildlife control measures, game is once again plentiful here and many Rappahannock people use it as a major meat source. Alice Beahm of Washington who says she has “cooked my share of deer meat, but mostly by feel and taste” makes a Barbecued Venison Roast. First, she soaks a small roast overnight in salt water, changes the' water and- brings the meat to a boil. Then, changing the water once again, she boils it until nearly tender. Next, either on top of the stove or In the oven, she places the roast in a heavy, covered pot and adds tomato juice, chopped onion and celery, and barbecue sauce to cover. She cooks this covered until the onions and celery are tender, then uncovers to let the juices thicken a bit. For Venison Steaks, Mrs. Beahm pounds out the steaks “right hard" with a hammer or saucer, and adds flour and salt and pepper. Then she browns them in butter or begetable oil, covers them with barbecue sauce and simmers until tender, either on top of the stove or in the oven. Bob Dennis of Flint Hill has his venison ground into deerburgers, with some beef fat added to prevent dryness. Bob said that he and his wife Barbara don't cook these like regular hamburger patties but use them in dishes where they are mixed with a sauce, like spaghetti or lasagne or chili. Most people who cook venison agree that it can be used for most recipes calling for beef. Care must be taken not to overcook it, and its leanness can be compensated for by cooking with bacon strips arranged over the top of the meat. compliance with ordinance regulations. —bring the section on discontinuance of a nonconforming use into line with state law. Rappahannock’s ordinance says that a nonconforming use which has been discontinued for a year or more must comply with ordinance regulations; state law specifies a two-year discontinuance before total compliance is required. —clarify exceptions to subdivision regulations allowed for land transfers which qualify as boundary adjustments and exchanges between adjoining landowners and for transfers to family members. —eliminate the exception to subdivision compliance granted for divisions of lots 25 acres or larger. —exempt minor subdivisions of two or three lots from compliance with requirements for detailed preliminary and final plats. —reduce the number of exceptions allowed on compliance with erosion and Mary Jenkins of Washington requested some rabbit recipes. Here is one for Roast Rabbit. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Skin and clean a young rabbit and stuff with any chicken or turkey stuffing recipe. Brush with vegetable oil, dredge with seasoned flour, put in roasting pan on its side, reduce heat to 350 degrees. Baste every 15 minutes with pan drippings or butter. Turn after about 45 minutes and cook until tender. Make gravy with the drippings and serve with horseradish and boiled potatoes. For a Brunswick Stew made very much the same way that the early settlers did, with squirrel, rabbit and chicken: put three cups of cold water, two medium peeled onions, and one quart of canned tomatoes in a heavy kettle with one tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, add the edible parts of one squirrel, one rabbit and one small chicken and allow to simmer for two hours. Combine one cup of lima beans, one cup of shredded corn and a cup of okra; add these to the liquid and allow another hour of cooking. Finally, add two tablespoons of butter, a half cup of bread crumbs and water (if necessary) and simmer for two more hours before serving. Since groundhog day is just around the corner, try these recipes for groundhog: Fried Groundhog Skin the carcass, remove the insides and disjoint and cut the meat into pieces. Soak it in very salty water overnight. Drain and boil the meat until it is tender, then remove and allow it to cool. To serve, roll the meat in flour and cook it in hot fat until brown. Baked Groundhog Boil a dressed groundhog for two hours in salted water. Remove and drain the meat and place it in a baking pan. Sprinkle it with pepper and salt and bake in a moderately hot oven for at least thirty minutes. sedimentation controls. At the request of the planners, Konick agreed to bring draft revisions in the areas he mentioned to the next planning commission session. In other action, the commissioners agreed to advertise J. J. Dwyer’s application for an agricultural and forestal district for public I, taring on February 17. As recommended by the agricultural district advisory commiittee, the planning commissioners dropped the “tag-on” property belonging to Linda Dietel from the application since her land lies outside the one-mile limit allowed for tag-ons.
