Loftis, Jr. (Bill), Assistant Superinterident of Shenandoah National Park will retire from Federal Service effective January 3, 1985. Loftis has been responsible for the general supervision of the Park’s four operating divisions of maintenance, administration, interpretation, and resource management and visitor protection since 1973. “Bill has been a great source of counsel and assistance in managing this Park, and it is hard for us to imagine the place without him,” said Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. “He has established a standard of credibility with the Park’s employees and his associates that will not be easily duplicated in a successor. ” First Washington’s Museum, in Washington, the only museum in Rappahannock County, is the subject of an article in the January issue of Country, the mid-Atlantic regional monthly magazine. Ruby Jenkins, who owns a private collection of historical artifacts of Rappahannock, named the museum “First Washington’s” because the town was the first town in the U.S. to be named after George Washington. The name is doubly appropriate because Washington himself laid opt the streets of the town in 1749 while working as a surveyor for Culpeper County. “This is a very personal museum. I’ve been collecting what other people threw away all my life,” Jenkins told Country. “I wanted local people, especially young people, to know about their historical heritage.” The museum is a rennovated toem that Jenkins’ father bought in 1920. It includes an Eighteenth-NHteteeftth-Century kitchen, an early Nineteenth-Century school room, and a “Historic” room which contains memorabelia from the area from the time of the Manahoac Indians to the present.

Approximately 2,500 returns will come from the Rappahannock area, according to IRS figures. The IRS is advising Virginians to file their returns as soon as all the necessary records are available from employers and financial institutions. Individuals who file at the last minute are more likely to make errors on their returns. Errors will cause delays in the processing of the return and in the mailing of refund checks, says the IRS. The 1984 tax forms are generally unchanged from last year. There are, however, changes in the tax laws to consider when completing the returns. — Individuals who bought passenger cars or computers for business use after June 18, 1984, will be limited in the amount of depreciation and investment credit they claim. Those who use their auto or computer for business purposes less than 50% of the time will not be entitled to an investment credit nor to use accelerated write-offs. — Some higher income Social Security beneficiaries may have to pay tax on a portion of their benefits. Those receiving Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits are subject to the same provisions. — For assets acquired after June 22, 1984, the holding period for long-term capital gain or loss treatment has been changed to six months from one year. — Owners of a 1979 or newer model diesel-powered car or light truck may be entitled to a one-time tax credit or reftind of diesel fuel tax. — The disability income exclusion has been repealed. However, beginning in 1984, there will be a tax credit for people who are permanently and totally disabled. — The deadline for 1984 contributions to an Individual Retirement Arrangement can be made no later than April 15, 1985. Last year contributions could be made later if an extension of time to file was requested. — The income averaging method of tax computation is changed for 1984, and fewer people may be eligible to income average. For 1984, averageable income will have to exceed 140% of base period income. The base period is reduced to 3 years. Additional information on these topics and other changes appears in the instructions which come with the tax package. The IRS says that processing a return will be faster if an individual uses the pre-printed label on the tax package and the envelope provided with the tax form. Common errors which delay processing include mathematical errors, incorrect use of the tax tables, and entries on the wrong lines. A review of the return before it is mailed will avoid many of these errors. The Internal Revenue Service will continue to provide toll-free telephone service and walk-in assistance to taxpayers. The hours for the Baileys Crossroads, One Skyline Place, Room 900, 5205 Leesburg Pike office are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m.; Charlottesville, Federal Building, Room 110, 225 West Main Street office are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; Fredericksburg, United Virginia Bank Plaza Bldg., 601 Caroline Street office are Wednesday, 9:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; Richmond, Federal Building, Room 1016, 400 North Eighth Street office are Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Winchester, Kuykendall Building - Second Floor, 20 South Cameron Street office are Thursday, Jan. 19, April 11, 9:30 a.m. to noon and 12:45 to 3:30 p.m. In addition, the IRS will offer group return preparation assistance in local communities during and after normal working hours and on weekends as part of its Outreach Program. Return preparation instruction will also be offered to groups at local IRS offices. The IRS said many answers to general taxpayer questions can be found in the tax package instructions or in over 90 free IRS publications than can be requested using the order form in the tax package. Taxpayers with Touch-Tone telephones can also use Tele-Tax, a service that provides recorded tax information on topics of general interest. The toll-free telephone number is 1-800-424-1040. The Tele-Tax telephone number is (804) 771-2369 in Richmond and (703) 557-0034 in Baileys Crossroads; a list of the taped tax topics can be found in the instruction package or in Publication 910, “Taxpayer’s Guide to IRS Information and Assistance.” Transition For Child Care And Learning Center New Director In, New Building Awaited By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Kathleen Schilling, the former Director of children’s education at St. Luke’s Church in McLean, Va., has been chosen to succeed Camille Harris as the Executive Director of the Child Care and Learning Center of Washington, Va. Schilling was appointed by the Center’s 12-member board and she assumed her duties December 27. The transition takes place after 9 years of diligent service by Camille Harris who founded the Center—originally an elementary school—and presided over its development. And it has developed. The Center was first located in a basement and enrolled a mere 10 children; funding and facilities were severely inadequate but personnel, namely Harris, persevered. She soon realized that the demand for an elementary school was too small to justify its continued existence, therefore she converted the school into a child care center. The conversion marked the beginning of the Center as we know it today, it having evolved from solely a preschool program into a multi-purposed Center. In addition to an after-school program, the Center now offers programs for Infant-Toddlers, Two-year olds, and Pre-Schoolers. Primarily an educator with a variety of teaching experience, Harris had no interest in running a “baby-sitting” clinic. Instead, she wanted to “create an environment that would provide for the overall developmental needs of children.” Thus the Center offers enrichment programs, such as dance, karate, and swimming. The Center, as its name indicates, functions not only as a child care facility but also as a learning center, offering a program in speech therapy and tutorial sessions for the learning disabled. Two people who contribute to the success of the Learning Center are Margaret and Sid Gottlieb, both of whom are instructors in its classes. A New Director for the Center Kathleen Schilling takes over as Director with si history devoted to the care and education of children. As Director of children’s education at St. Luke’s Church from 1969 to ’80, Schilling organized and presided over the volunteer teachers program. She also coordinated for the Church an annual speakers series on human potential and family life. 1 Schilling’s administration of the St. Luke’s program and, specifically, her research in children’s" literature and media was impressive enough to attract the attention of Silver Burdette Publishers, who asked her to create an annotated bibliography for a media section in their Life, Love, Joy series. Optimism regarding the future of the Center seems appropriate. This is an “extremely promising time for the Center because of the hard work that went before and the opportunities created by building up the school,” Schilling remarked. A New Building Adding excitement to optimism are plans to begin building in April a new building for the Center, which now is located in a farmhouse off Rt. 211 on Rt. 626. The new site will be on Rt. 211, just outside of Washington. Barring fund-raising problems-always a threat-the new facility is tentatively scheduled for completion in September. The proposed new building will allow the Center to accommodate more facilities and to expand its services. Possible new programs would target the needs of senior citizens, the handicapped, and people with mental disorders. Also hoped for is a program to tackle adult illiteracy. In addition to the determination of Camille Harris, the Center owes its success to people like Linda Dietel. A volunteer at the Center for over a year and a half and the current Vice-President on the volunteer board of directors, Dietel apparently assumes any responsibility she can get her hands on. Aside from her leadership role on the Board, she is Chairman of both the Development Committee and the Building Committee. The current leadership of the Center-Schilling and the 12-member Kathleen Shilling Board-inspired the former Director, Harris, to say, “It is difficult to step down, but I’m pleased that new and effective leadership is in place.” Harris will be retained by the Center to assist in fund-raising and in program development.

Ball had bought his home in Rappahannock in 1981, and he said he was determined to do anything to stay in Rappahannock. Before coming to Washington, D.C. in 1978, Ball had worked as a coal miner for about 12 years. As he began looking for work in 1982 he found that some prospective employers in the area were reluctant to hire him because of his union experience. Ball attended a horseshoeing school in Martinsburg, and then he took a job ds a janitor with the Fauquier County school system. Then in early 1984, Ball’s wife read a newspaper story about 70001 in Warrenton, and Ball entered the program. Warrenton 70001 is part of the nationwide employment training organization known as 70001 Ltd. The program was founded in 1969, and was reorganized as a private, non-profit corporation in 1976. 70001 Ltd. receives funds from the government and from corporations. The majority of the people enrolled with 70001 are high school dropouts from the ages of 16 to 21. The program assists these people to earn their GED’s and to find employment. Since 1969, 70001 has placed over 35,000 disadvantaged youth into unsubsidized jobs. < The program also offers help to adults, ex-offenders and high school graduates. Participants in the program are not paid, and neither are the employers who hire program participants. 70001 is supported by private donors, the Department of Labor, approximately 92 members of Congress and corporations like General Electric apd ^Aetna Life and Casualty. The Warrenton 70001 will be celebrating Its'second anniversary this month! and inf that time the program has expandedao include Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. During the last fiscal year, the program had 47 enrollees and 38 were placed in jobs. The program that Ball went through involved taking classes in how to be at ease during interviews and how to approach jobs. “They would send us out to do mock interviews of people about their jobs just to have the interview experience,” said Ball. Ball was in classes with six to seven participants. Besides giving training in areas that the participants may need assistance in, 70001 also helps in locating employment opportunities and in making contacts with employers. Through 70001, Ball found a job as manager of Mobile Wash Systems in the Gainesville area. The owner of the firm had called Warrenton 70001 to ask about any program participants that would be eligible for the job, and Ball was r^cofninended. “The owner of the firm decided to take a chance oiime despite my union experience, and ll began work in the Phillip R. Ball early spring,” said Ball. The firm is owned by Kurt Hebler, and handles the cleaning of tractor trailer trucks, buildings, aircraft and heavy equipment. "It is a growing business with contracts with McDonald’s, Ryder Truck Rentals and other corporations,” said Ball. “We are branching out into office cleaning nov,Ball oversees the business and the other employees. At present he has one person working with him at the business who is a youth in another work program. “Occasionally we hire more people to help out,” said Ball. “The workers also learn how to drive tractor trailer rigs if they have a license since the trucks have to be moved when they are being washed.” Warrenton 70001 has enrolled 18 people since July, and have placed 11 in jobs. The educational part of the program has 13 people enrolled. When asked if he would recommend the 70001 program to others, Ball replied, “I cer tainly would. 1 wouldn’t have found my present job without 70001.” People interested in enrolling in one of the programs or in hiring participants can contact Warrenton 70001 by writing to their address at 34 Beckham Street, Warrenton, Va. 22186 or by calling (703) 349-1411.

It certainly is! If you buy a house for $80,000 with a $20,000 down payment and the house appreciates at 4%, it will increase in value in one year alone by $3,200. This $3,200 represents a 16% return on your $20,000 investment. Sixteen percent is an excellent return. It’s hard to find an investment that returns 16% when the inflation rate is only 4%. It doesn't stop there. If you are financing the $60,000 at (for example! 13%. you would be paying $7,800 in interest during the first year. Interest is an income tax deduction. For a person in the 30% tax bracket, this interest deduction has a cash equivalency value of $2,340. Add this to the increase in home value during the first year and you have a total of $5,540. This figure translates to a whopping 27.7% return on the downpayment investment. Property taxes are also a deduction which further increases the return. No doubt about it.

The younger Guthrie has recently won a 10 kilometer race, and placed second in a 30 kilometer race. The 29 year old Guthrie has been running ever since his senior year in high school according to his father. “He was a little small for football, although he did play football on a boys’ club team,” said Guthrie. “He got into it for the exercise since a lot of his friends were health nuts.” Guthrie had not run competitively over the summer, but he began the fall with a second place finish in the Paul DeBruyn 30 K Road Race in November. Guthrie had won the race last year. On December 15, Guthrie won the first Ed Root 10K road race in New Smyrna Beach. A writer for The News and, Observer wrote that with the win Guthrie had “reaffirmed his status as Volusia County’s top distance runner....” Guthrie set a personal best record during the race. Guthrie and his brother operate the Smyrna Sports Shop, and Guthrie also teaches courses in history and beginning running at Volusia Community College. Guthrie has a master’s degree in history from Radford University. Guthrie was also assistant track coach at Radford. The senior Guthrie said that he and his wife bought their house in Rappahannock in 1957 when his youngest son was two years old. “We would come on the weekends, and John en Goings On in the Arts Governor9s Awards For The Arts By LAURIE MARSHALL and TUTT STAPP-HARRIS The contribution of the arts and of artists in Virginia will be recognized by the Second Governor’s Awards for the Arts.

Farmers who have a record of their wool sales are eligible for incentive payments only if the sales are reported to the ASCS office. The quantity sold does not affect the eligibility. However, sales slips should contain the month of shearing, month of sale, number of head shorn, pounds of wool (grease hasis) and net proceeds. Shorn wool payments will be made only for bonafide sales documented on invoices prepared by the purchaser. Sales slips for lambs must show the liveweight and state that the lambs were unshorn. Shorn wool payments are based on a percentage of each producer’s returns from sales. The percentage is the amount required to raise the national average price received by all producers for shorn wool in 1984 up to the support prices of $1.65 a pound.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation ^ THURSDAY, JANUARY 3,1985 Moving To Rappahannock This Holiday Season was a . particularly special one for me. Why? Because the people at the Rapphannock News asked me to become the editor of this paper. I considered the offer a gift, one about which I could truly say, ‘This is what I wanted for Christmas.’ I will keep this gift; the fit i& perfect, or so I am going to assume. In short, I accepted the offer without hesitation. Over the past three years I have made increasingly regular visits to Rappahannock. I couldn’t stay away from the place. What drew me to this county were the good friends I had made here and the rich beauty of the land. Land and people, environment and friends, few things rank above these in preciousness. Only one obstacle prevented me from settling here: employment, and now that is taken care of. I am in no hurry to choose sides in Rappahannock’s controversies, which are serious and heated. Wisdom sides first with attempts to unify people. My instinct is to resolve, to mend. To assist in the realization 6f these ends, if only in a small way, is my highest priority. With soberness tempering my idealism, I will venture the thought that justice should not be elusive, that it need not be. We are endowed with the good sense to arrive at it, and it is necessary that we do so. Justice-that is, fair negotiations, equitable resolutions, honesty, openess-invigorates a community by freeing it of hostilities that sap productive and creative energies. Animosity is exhausting. Therefore, injustice is simply not affordable and a community does well to mobilize against it in an effort to defeat it. I will save for a future column the messier details that dwell somewhere below the plane of idealism pointed to in this column. For now it is enough to say that we must look up to the ideal and struggle to approximate it. Meanwhile, you cannot imagine how happy 1 am to ^ here. The beauty of Rappahannock, these hills, these people, this paper, what more could I ask for?

We remember you’ve often heard our call echoing from the ridges and raced to touch us and leap with joy. Your dark eyes shining with surging life, sometimes following high jets or red-tails soaring, or rolling to catch our eyes and read what’s brewing in us, we feel could recognize from afar the mountains where we’ve lived from your puppyhood together. Your black nose so sensitive to fragrances of life, lifting into the wind to test all sounds and glimpses, finding our hiding places in play, kissing our hands or faces, giving and receiving love, we feel could scent the trend of lines we’ve tread in sorrowful search. Your ready reading of human talk and doings, with head tilting to ask questions and catch human emotions, intentions, we feel could help you avoid wrong turns and find the way. Your muscles so firm and rippling under black and creamy fur, lifting you in leaps over stone walls or to snatch a frisbee from the air or a thrown stick on first bounce, we feel could bring you long and lonely miles along edges of highways, on rural roads, or through unmarked woods over the Blue Ridge—home. Here, Woodsy_Here, Woodsy—Here, Woodsy_ We and our friends have searched widely, made numerous phone calls, talked with dog wardens and scores of other people where Woodsy might have gone, most likely courting an attractive female. There have been radio announcements and newspaper ads. No clues have led to success so far, but we can’t help feeling Woodsy’s still out there somewhere. Anyone with possibly helpful information or advice can reach us through our Boston friends, phone 547-3946, or direct to our home just outside Shenandoah National Park near Luray, phone 743-7246. EILEEN LAMBERT Thanks To Rappahannock Citizens To the editor: Only in Rappahannock County—a very special place to live—could so many make a holiday season so special to those who needed that extra boost. A very special thanks to all the local churches who helped in so many special ways; to the students of Rappahannock and their families for their food contributions; to the local civic groups and their members, especially the Jaycees for their toy donations and the Lions Club for their time and energy; and to each and every private citizen of the County who remembered others with their time, money, food and whatever else was needed. I wish to personally thank all our volunteers who really made all this possible and helped put this Christmas together. A very special thanks to my staff who devoted so much time and patience to see that everything went smoothly: Mary Wilkins, Nancy Reeve, Janice Moffett, Marie Davis, Frances Smith, Debbie DeBergh and Russie Miller. To all of you we all wish you a very happy and healthy year in 1985. SYLVIAN.

McCarthy I met over the holidays a friend who had recently moved from Minnesota to Washington, D.C. He had just gone through his first experience of buying fireplace wood in Georgetown, and had found that his experience with wood, its measurement, type, and quality in Minnesota was quite useless in Georgetown. Having observed the wood trade from both ends of the line—that of a purchaser in Georgetown, and, not as a producer but as an observer of producers in Rappahannock County, I attempted to explain the whole matter to him. I grew up in a rural community in Minnesota where wood was used for fuel, and I knew from experience, sustained by an education in which measures such as pecks and gills were still taught, that a cord of wood contained 128 cubic feet of wood, allowing for some air spaces, and that the common practice was to measure a cord of wood as four feet by four feet, by eight feet. My first surprise in buying wood in Georgetown when I moved there, as my friend had, was that a cord of wood was still four feet high, roughly eight feet in length, but that in width it was only eighteen inches. I also found that wood was sold as measured in ricks, racks, which in Minnesota were measures of hay, and cribs, which were measures of com. The measurement depended on the dimensions of the pickup truck from which the wood was delivered. The exact volume of wood in a rick, rack, or crib, I had never found out. The sellers did allow a prospective buyer to make a quick judgment by eye and then decide whether the price was right. Being most certain of the quality of oak wood, and of my ability to judge it, I tried to limit my purchases to oak, but sometimes, under duress—either needing the wood or responding to a seller’s plea that I buy the last of his load so that he could get back to the county (Culpeper or Rappahannock) before nightfall or before the predicted snowstorm arrived, I did occasionally buy what was described as a “Mixed” cord. A “Mixed” cord contained, according to the seller, usually some oak, hickory, cherry, locust, possibly ash, maple, and apple. Sometimes my purchase did have the types of woods listed by the seller. Other times it contained woods that did not fit my recollection of their qualities. On moving to Rappahannock County, I found that hickory, ash, cherry, apple, locust, and other types of tress that grow there are like the same trees in Minnesota, as are the popular and black birch. However, somewhere and somehow between the wood cutting and the delivery in Georgetown, something happens to some of these woods. Oak, as a rule, I found, which left the country as oak arrived in Georgetown as oak, although its age might have changed along the way. Wood from dead falls sometimes lost age, and green oak took on age, sometimes arriving “cured.” These changes although notewor Poet, author, former U. S. Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy now lives in the F T Valley near Slate Mills. thy fall short of the miraculous changes to be observed in the case of poplar that leaves the county (either Culpeper or Rappahannock) as poplar but arrives in Georgetown as ash or hickory. Locust, too, enroute sometimes changes into hickory. Black Birch is transmuted into cherry and occasionally into apple wood. These miracles, not unlike the scriptural report of the changing of water into wine, seem to occur somewhere between Warrenton and Gainesville. I gave all of this information to the Minnesotan, and then advised him that the character of the wood supplier was also important. For four or five years I had the same provider in Georgetown. I suspected that some kind of territorial or personal imperitive had been established in that part of the city for all other wood-men seemed to qyoid my house. I got the best wood from my supplier in the early years of our association. When later I complained about a cord I had bought, he advised me that one had to make choices among woods, which, he said, were like women— some gave heat and some gave light. He went on to give me a dissertation on what kind of wood was best for each variety of romantic situation, and as to which of the senses were most affected by different kinds of wood. He recommended oak and hickory for warmth, locust and pine for sound and color, birch and poplar for light, cherry and apple if it were odor you wanted. As the years of our relationship ran on, the wood man seemed gradually to lose interest in wood and natural phenomena, and to turn to religion. As he became more religious, the quality of his wood declined. As the last wood brought from him smoldered in my fireplace, I read the card he had left. It encouraged me to have faith in the Lord and in my fellow men (including wood sellers), and advised me to “Keep Smiling.” I advised the Minnesotan first to buy only oak, and second to settle for a “Georgetown Cord,” over ricks, racks,^ and cribs and other odd measures, and third, to be careful of philosophical wood seller.- and fourth, to shun those who" offered religion, especially with mixed wood. DMV changes licensing system The Division of Motor Vehicles changed it driver licensing system, ef fective Jan.-l. Now the DMV will issue driver's licenses that will expire when drivers reach an age that ends in five or zero, such as 35, 40, 45, according to Commissioner Donald E. Williams. Once they are phased into the system, drivers will need,to renew their licenses every five" years, instead of every four years as at present. To bring drivers into the five-year system, the DMV will issue licenses good for three to seven years, depending on a driver’s age at renewal. “During the next four years we’ll work people into the system when their current licenses expire,” Mr. Williams said, “and we’ll send them a brochure with their renewal notice explaining the new fees and expiration dates.”

A harsh winter, combined with tough economic times, can lead to hardships for many people. In areas with mild winters, a season colder than usual can often cause more problems for the population than in those areas where people are accustomed to severe winter weather. We can’t change the weather, but we can affect its outcome. The following consumer’s guide to winter preparedness was prepared by the U.S. Department of Energy. Cooler Temperatures and Health Tolerance to low temperatures varies among individuals, just as comfort levels do. For most people, lowering home and office thermostats to the recommended 65 degree F during the day and 55 at night will not in itself cause colds, influenza or pneumonia. Tolerance to low temperatures and resistance to illnesses depend on the body’s general state of health and the amount of exposure to winter weather. A wet and windy environment intensifies the effects of cold temperatures and makes it harder for the body to maintain its natural warmth. Most qgjfants can cope well with temperatures in the 60 to 70 degree F range, provided they are kept warmly clothed and the relative humidity is kept high. Some elderly people may have special problems in dealing with low temperatures, and should consult their physician before lowering their thermostats drastically. Winterizing The Home Insulate your home. Reduce air leaks to keep heat in and cold out. Caulk and weatherstrip doors and windows. Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic. Insulate walls and attics. Have some type of emergency heating equipment available so you can keep at least one room warm enough to be livable if your furnace is not operating. The heat source you choose will depend on where you live or whether you own a home or rent. A fireplace with an vample supply of wood is, of course, excellent. A small, well-vented wood or coal stove, when installed properly and with regard to safety, is an efficient, low-cost heat source which may be used in houses and some apartments. Know how to use this emergency heating equipment safely to prevent fire or dangerous gases. Proper ventilation is essential. Keep pipes from freezings Wrap the pipes in insulation made especially for water pipes, or in layers of old newspaper, lapping the ends and tying them around the pipes. Cover the newspapers with plastic to keep out moisture. When it is extremely cold and there is a real danger of freezing, let the faucets drip a little. Although this wastes water, it may prevent freezing damage. Know where the valve for shutting off the water coming into the house or apartment is located. You may as a last resort have to shut off this main valve and drain all the pipes to keep them from freezing or bursting. If the pipes freeze despite efforts to prevent it, open faucets wide to allow for expanison of the frozen water. Remove any newspaper that may be around the pipe. Wrap pipes with rags and pour hot water over the rags with the faucets still open to thaw a pipe. Without Heat? Don’t Panic If your furnace bums oil or propane gas, check the gauges to see if you’re out of fuel. If it bums utility gas, check other gas appliances to see whether your main gas supply has been cutoff. If that doesn’t solve the riddle, check the pilot light. Instructions for re-lighting the pilot light should be located somewhere on the unit. If the pilot light fails to light, or stay lit, call your local utility servicing agent for help or advice. Whatever fuel you may use in your central furnace, additional things to investigate include: Checking the electric switch that controls some function of the unit, such as the blower. It may have accidentally been switched off. If the furnace has its • own fuse, circuit breaker or reset, check those for proper operation. Remember that reset devices on oil furnaces should be activated no more than once. Finally, check the fuses or circuit breakers in your main electrical distribution box. 0 If the furnace appears to be operating properly and burning fuel, but you still don’t receive enough heat, the air filters may need cleaning. If these steps do not restore the furnace to operation, call the utility company which provides service in your area. If the unit is fueled by oil or propane, call your fuel oil dealer or a company that specializes in heating and cooling work. If you are a renter, first contact your landlord. If that doesn’t produce results, then contact your city housing authority or local community action agency to find out how to get the landlord to provide heating service. If possible, familiarize yourself with the basic functioning of your heating equipment. Fuel dealers and utility companies are usually willing to show customers these basics, since it may save them the time and expense of making emergency calls later on. While you wait for help, do the following to maintain a minimal heat level: Use your alternate heat source. Close off those rooms that are not absolutely needed. Hang blankets over windows at night (let the sun shine in during the day). Stuff cracks around doors with rugs, newspapers, towels, or other such materials. Prevent water pipes from bursting, using the techniques already described. Collect water for drinking and store in covered containers. Close the water inlet valve on the toilet and then flush to prevent freezing damage. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if the situation starts to get out of control. Call a neighbor or a local soical or emergency service agency. Write those phone numbers down in advance and keep them handy. Keeping Warm In A Cold House When your house is without heat because of malfunctioning equipment, lack of fuel or any other reason, there are ways to preserve some of the house’s heat and stay relatively comfortable: Dress warmly. Layers of protective clothing are more effective protection against cold than a single layer of thick clothing-entrapped, insulating air is warmed by body heat. The layers can be removed as needed to prevent perspiring and subsequent chill. Eat well balanced, nutritional meals to allow the body to produce its own heat efficiently, especially quickenergy foods (raisins, other dried fruit). Wear a hat, especially when sleeping under these emergency conditions. The body loses between half and three quarters of its heat through the head. Use several lightweight blankets rather than one very heavy blanket for the most warmth while sleeping. What To Have Handy When a winter storm strikes or extra cold weather lingers for long periods, certain items and information are indispensible in an emergency or even under normal circumstances. A home energy emergency kit should include: Phone numbers you can dial for help, your neighbors, the police, fire department and other community service organizations. Emergency food and water supply. Store some food that does not require refrigeration or cooking. An ample supply oLdrinking water should be kept on hand. Battery powered radio and extra batteries. This will enable you to hear weather forecasts, emergency information and advice broadcast by local authorities, even if you are without electricity. Flashlight and extra batteries, or candles and matches. Extra medication as may be required by family members. Extra blankets or sleeping bags. Fire fighting equipment, such as an extinguisher (UL labeled, “All Purpose”). When The Lights Go Out To most Americans, electricity is so reliable that a moment of panic may hit if that supply is interrupted and the lights go out. If the power failure appears to be affecting your house or apartment only, check the fuses or circuit breakers which control your house or apartment. You may be able to correct the problem simply by replacing a fuse or resetting a circuit breaker. If this doesn’t work, call the electric utility company. If the failure is a general one affecting an entire area, the utility company may already be aware of it and working to correct it. In the meantime: Turn off most light switches and inactive appliances. This is to help ensure that when the power comes back on, lowered voltage or surges won’t damage your equipment. When the electricity returns, wait a half-hour or so before turning on lights or appliances. This eases the immediate load on the electric utility system while it is trying to stabilize. i If You Must Go Outside Avoid overexertion, dress warmly, watch for frostbite, avoid alcoholic beverages and keep yourself and your clothes dry. People who are outside in low temperature and strong winds tire easily and because of rapid cooling of exposed surfaces become more susceptible to frostbite. A strong wind, combined with a temperature slightly below freezing, can have the same effect as a still-air temperature about 35 degrees lower. To determine how much protection you really need, refer to the chart of wind chill temperatures. Remember, at wind-chill equivalent temperatures below minus 25 F exposed skin can freeze within one minute. Cold weather accidents are preventable. Plan , ahead for the changes cold weather brings and take steps to minimize the dangers involved in using heating systems and fuels. Rappahannock County Favored Site For Country Wedding Reports Regional Magazine Country weddings are becoming increasingly popular as weddings themselves have become more romantic and informal. The January issue of Country Magazine, the mid-Atlantic regional monthly, includes a feature article on the makings of a successful country wedding and spotlights a few Rappahannock county cooks who have prepared splendid nuptial feasts. Norman and Sandra CartwrightBrown, owners of the Conyers Inn in F. T. Valley, have hosted and catered several weddings. From heirloom silver and china in the living room to red checkered tablecloths and iron stone plates, the Cartwright-Browns can provide almost any country atmosphere desired. The checkered tablecloths are the preference of most bridal parties, reports Country, as is the “fresh trout from down the road” that is most frequently served. Seventy-three-year-old Lottie Aylor and her daughter Charlotte have cooked for and served 200 wedding guests in a sitting with the only help coming from Lottie’s son Russell, “Sam,” who sometimes serves as a bartender. The Aylors deliver their specialities, which include fried chicken, ham biscuits, apple pies, and cured hams. Newscaster David Brinkley is an avid fan of the cured hams, according to Country. He stops by the farm for a few every year at Christmas. One country wedding was even held on top of Old Rag Mountain with the bride and groom being married barefoot. The reception was held 25 miles away in Huntly and catered by the bride’s brother-in-law, John P. Han. Perhaps the best thing about a country wedding is that there is no one way to hold one. They can be held indoors or out, and the food can be as simple as fried chicken or as elaborate as curried crab. The most important components are informality, creativity and a “down home” attitude. We Want To Announce Your Wedding An announcement of a wedding is the kind of good news we like to pub. lish on the social pages of the Rappahannock News. But we have a few rules that we ask the bride and groom to follow in submitting their announcements. Black and white photographs are preferred. We suggest that the bride advise her photographer of this. We can print a picture from a color shot but it usually becomes too dark. We want your wedding picture to reproduce as clearly as possible; we’re sure you do, too. Forms for your announcement are available at the Rappahannock News office. If you have any questions, please contact Barbara Burke at the Rappahannock News, P.0. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, telephone (708)675-3349. Remember, there is no charge for this service.
