- i / Founded 1877 35TH Y^r, NO. 49 16 pages THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1985 Washington, Virginia, 22747 Phone 675-3349 25 cents Rapp ups Drunk driving week Gov. Charles Robb has proclaimed December 15-21 as Virginia Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week in conjunction with the national observance. With a theme “Because We Care” the statewide week will focus on what Virginias can do to prevent alcohol-related deaths and injuries. Each year more than 300 people die in Virginia alcohol-related crashes. The Governor is urging “responsible behavior to decrease senseless death and injury on our highways.” Local communities are encouraged to develop programs and events with emphasis on the critical dangers of mixing drugs and driving, according to John T. Hanna, deputy commissioner, Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. “Drinking and driving is the cause of the most frequently committed violent crime in most communities,” Hanna said. “We heed to take away from drinking drivers the social acceptability they have enjoyed, and let them know this irresponsible behavior is no longer accepted in Virginia.” Programs Hanna recommends to communities include: encouraging citizens to report suspicious driving to police; urging individuals to make prior arrangements to ride home with someone who is not drinking; establishing dial-a-ride programs to offer free rides to drinking drivers; and initiating special law enforcement patrols to apprehend drinking and drugged drivers. District representative Representative D. French Slaughter, Jr., will send his District Representative, Jane Clatterbuck, to Rappahannock County on Wednesday, December 11,1985. Mrs. Clatterbuck will be available to talk with constituents who have problems of a Federal nature, such as those with the Social Security Adminstration, Department of Labor, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Internal Revenue Service, Office of Personnel Management, Veterans Adminsitration, etc., with which they need assistance, or who wish to express their opinions on national legislative issues, or simply to discuss matters of concern.

Delayed Retirement If Rappahannock residents delay retiring or return to work after starting to receive Social Security checks, their additional earnings may result in higher Social Security benefits, Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper said recently. Social Security will automatically refigure your benefit after their additional earnings are credited to your record. A worker will receive delayed retirement credits, which are an increase in Social Security benefits of 3 percent for each year from age 66 to 70 that he did not get benefits because of work. The worker’s additional credit would also increase payments to widows and widowers if he died. For workers who reach age 66 in 1990 or later the delayed retirement credit will be increased gradually until it reaches 8 percent each year. For more information about delayed retirement credits or any other Medicare, Social Security or Supplemental Security Income questions contact the Culpeper Social Security office. The people there will be glad to answer any questions. The office is located at 806 N. Main Street and the telephone number is 825-3600. Halley hotline The Science Museum of Virginia will operate Halley Hotline, a 24-hour recorded information service, which will provide pertinent information concerning the comet. The number is 804-257-1076. The UNIVERSE staff will update the message weekly. Controversy erupts over proposed car lot —Enforcement questioned By STELLA RICHARDS Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer During its November 27 meeting, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) agreed to draft a letter to the Board of Supervisors, addressing the question of enforcement of special use permits and variances granted by the BZA. The letter will be considered at the BZA’s next meeting, scheduled for December 23. 1 he enforcement issue arose during discussion of Dwight and Charles Frye’s application for a special use permit to operate a small used car lot on Route 211 near the Hillsdale Grocery. There was much discussion about the lack of enforcement of previous special use permits granted by the BZA. In particular, a special use permit awarded to the Bennett and But ler used car lot on Route 211 came under consideration. During testimony opposing the new application, it was noted that the B&B lot was permitted a maximum of 20-30 used cars. The number of cars in that lot currently exceeds that amount. Former Zoning Administrator David Konick, also referring to the special use permit for the B&B used car lot, said, “There was also supposed to be screening — shrubbery Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner THE ART of Christmas bow-making is demonstrated by Elaine Miller at Country Manor ana trees, it was noted that no screening had been planted. Lack of enforcement of BZA recommendations could “prejudice further applications," according to BZA Chairman Lee Bird. “It’s in everybody’s interests to get these conditions met,” he said. In Rappahannock County, the Zoning Administrator must see that BZA stipulations are enforced. Emiel Smet, current Zoning Administrator, said that he is resigning from his position because he does not have enough time to do the job assigned him. Smet announced his resignation earlier this fall. The BZA said that the Fryes’ application must be re-submitted to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission could not reach a quorum when the application was submitted earlier in November. The Planning Commission is scheduled to meet next on December 18. “In view of the pending new zoning ordinance, it would be well to have this submitted to the Planning Commission,” recommended Chairman Bird. During discussion of the Fryes’ application, Dwight Frye pointed out that the notice of public hearing submitted to the Rappahannock News by the Zoning Administrator used the term “automotive garage” in describing his application. “I’m really not applying for a permit to build a garage,” Mr. Frye said. “There will be no garage, no building, no nothing.” The Board explained that an automotive garage is permitted in an agricultural zone only if certain conditions are met under the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance. The Fryes’ application for a special use permit (Continued on Page 16) supervisors pass re-inspection fee at meeting By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, meeting on December 2, approved a proposal to assess a $15 building re-inspection fee. The fee, requested by County Building Official Emiel Smet, is designed to alleviate the expense of repeat visits to buildings which require inspection. Mr. Smet said that in many situations he is forced to make several visits to a property because an owner stays in a state of non-compliance with the building code. He believes that this new fee will give an owner incentive to have a structure ready for inspection. The official was asked if neighboring counties assess re-inspection fees. He answered that fees ranging from $15 to $25 exist in Warren, Culpeper and Fauquier counties. He also requested the adoption of a policy to prohibit electric power from being connected before a new home has passed inspection. New home owners must also have been issued an occupancy permit before the power will be connected. This policy was passed by the Board. Mr. Smet noted that in several instances, people have moved into partially built homes. These homes, he said, are often occupied before inspection and can pose a danger to the lives of the occupants — particularly children. He stated that he TOM VON FANGE seated at with “secret methods. ” ■ . , *•« . l i j Rappahannock News photo/Greg Tumei antique look-alike table made Tom Von Fange’s ‘secrets’ turn new furniture into antique look-alikes By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer People driving on Route 522 through Woodville might notice a white building with antique benches and tables arranged in front. Even after stopping and taking a closer look, most people would swear that the furniture could have belonged to their grandparents or great-grandparents. Only after talking to the owner of The Mountain Cabinet Shop, Tom Von Fange, would most people find out that the furniture was made within the last six months. Tom is not upset that people think his furniture is old. He and his two full-time employees, Jeff Dwyer and Brett Taylor, spend time and effort to give the furniture an old-fashioned appeal. They have even developed “secret" methods that make the furniture as primitive looking as possible. “A major factor in how the furniture looks is the wood itself,” Tom said. “We use all white pine for the farm tables, which is the wood most farmers used to make their furniture, and we don’t use any boards less than 16 inches wide.” Finding lumber mills that have such wide boards has not been easy, but Tom manages to find all of his wood within 20 miles of Woodville. “I tell all of the lumber mills to be on the look-out for big trees and to keep me in mind,” he said. “I get the boards custom sawed and then I airdry all of the wood in my own building.” Each piece of furniture, including the tables, benches, comer cupboards, slant back Shenandoah hutches, open face Pennsylvania Dutch cupboards, love settees and (Continued on Page 11) has visited dwellings in which live electrical wires were left hanging from the walls. . , He said that he encountered in one home a situation where steps (Continued on Page 16) Halls v respond By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff VV’ritcr On November 25 attorney David Konick, representing Ivan N. and Hazel C. Hall, filed a brief in Rappahannock Circuit Court arguing against the demurrers filed'by the county. Mr. and Mrs. Hall are suing the county over a Board of Zoning Appeals decision which permits construction on subdivided lots. The proposed buildings, an Assembly of God Church and parsonage, would be built on land next to the Halls’ property. The Halls have contended that the adjacent land was unlawfully subdivided and is in violation of the Subdivision Ordinance. They have further argued that the Board of Zoning Appeals acted unlawfully by approving a building permit for the new church and parsonage. The Hall brief also cites an injunction issued against the county on May 24. The injunction prohibits the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors from issuing building permits or authorizing improvements to the subdivided lot at the present time. The county responded to the Hall suit by filing demurrers. A demurrer is a pleading which denies that allegations of a suit, even if true, could constitute a legal cause of action. This brief against the demurrers argues against the position held by the defendants that “once an unlawful subdivision plat has been stamped and approved by the agent or the Board of Supervisors and recorded among the land records, no aggrieved party has standing to compel enforcement of valid and explicit subdivision regulations and this Court lacks authority to compel the performance of ministerial functions and compliance with the applicable provisions of local law." “Plaintiffs will sho\v that such arguments are completely without merit,” the brief further states. The Halls are asking for $250,000 in damages and attorney’s fees. The case has been scheduled for January 13 in Rappahannock Circuit Court.

News of Record General District Court A $2500 bond was set in District Court Tuesday for Russell Streets, who has been accused of breaking and entering the Salmon residence in Flint Hill with the intent to commit assault and battery. Conditions of the bond set by Judge William Carson are that he see Dr. William Young at least once a week and that he refrain from making any contact whatsoever with Anne D. Salmon. Mr. Streets’ attorney, Wetsel Kuykendall, said the defendant has previously been under the care of Dr. Young. He also said, “there is some evidence he entered houses before with no intent to harm.” Mr. Streets, who is 18 years old, was treated at Barcroft Institute in Fairfax for two and a half weeks following treatment by Dr. Young. Mr. Streets has been incarcerated since November 2. Mr. Streets’ mother, Sarah Warrens, testified that her son lives with her and his step-father in Chester Gap. While he awaits trial, set for January 7, Mr. Streets will work part-time with Mrs. Warrens’ father-in-law and will be under the supervision of his mother and stepfather. ' In another case, Usters Dodson was convicted on three accounts of illegal sales of alcoholic beverages. He is sentenced to a $300 fine and 90 days in jail. It was Mr. Dodson’s fourth offense for the same crime. Mr. Dodson pleaded not guilty to the charges. Three of the four bottles of brand-name alcoholic beverages that were presented as evidence were pints. Mr. Dodson said, “I never had a pint of whiskey in 12 years. It’s all fibs.” Special Undercover Agent John Roach testified that Mr. Dodson had sold him the alcoholic beverages on four different occasions, beginning in October 1984. Mr. Roach’s supervisor, E.B. Snoddy-Special Agent for«the ABC Board, also testified against Mr. Dodson. Other cases decided Tuesday were: Johnny Lee Smoot, trespass to hunt, $50/20.

Look for snow the 1st and 2nd, the 5th-7th and again on the 27th and 28th. These last two periods could produce severe storms, so be on the lookout. Mid-month promises to be mild but temperatures will be falling as we approach the holidays. The month winds up very cold, with strong winds to welcome in the New Year. Christmas will be brightened as we approach New Moon on the 27th at 2:30 a.m. Appropriately enough, some call this the Yule Moon.

A new watercolor collection — “Works On Paper” By Daphne Hutchinson Rappahannock Nm Contributing Writer “People have to be able to see what you’re trying to get across. You’ve got to'make a little poem on the wall. You’ve got to make people dream, to go beyond themselves,” says Ray. The Rappahannock County artist does just that. His paintings, drawings and etchings on display at Washington’s Middle Street Gallery are nature poems, songs of praise for the beauty of an Adirondack sunset, a Blue Ridge skyline, the surge of the Rush River. His watercolors, in velvet greens and browns with light and shadow playing over bower and branch, stir dreams of lazy afternoons spent lolling in the sunshine. They whisk the viewer out of the gallery and back to a secret garden of childhood. The 60 some pieces at Middle Street, coupled with work simultaneously exhibited at the Veerhoff Gallerv in Washington. D.C.. comprise Mr. Heus’s efforts of the past three years. They have been years of change and growth for the artist. For his last Middle Street show in 1982, Mr. Heus hung misty, pastel watercolors and stark etchings in shades of gray and black. His portrait drawings in conti crayons, a favorite medium of Italian and Dutch artists of the 1700’s, captured lifelike faces but without life-like color. His work was representational, colorful only in the way that a classic black and white film conveys color. In his latest paintings, Mr. Heus remains a bold and uncompromising realist but he goes from black and white to vivid technicolor. He has changed mediums, abandoning traditional watercolors for guache, a heavy, opaque watercolor. “Watercolor relies on white paper to give the colors their brilliance. Here, the brilliance is in the paint,” he explained. “It’s been a revelation.” In another change, he’s taken his palette outdoors. “I paint outside — solely. I used to draw outside. I would paint from my drawings and color notes, or, worse yet, from photographs. This is so much better. To my way of thinking, so much more alive,” Mr. Heus said. “But you have to be fast to paint outside. The light moves so quickly. I like to finish my paintings in one sitting. If I have to come back, even the next day, I find everything’s changed, or I’ve changed and I don’t view the scene in the same way. It’s hard to pick up where Ileft off.” A Tin, A Jar and A Brush Mr. Heus paints light. He carries It stool to sit on, a brush, a jar of water, a tin of guache, a book to balance his paper on and a sheet of French pastel paper of, surprisingly, middle value green. “Everything in the out-of-doors is green. You go out with white paper and there’s not white anywhere. Then you spend most of your time covering the white, filling in the spaces between what it is that you really wanted to paint,” Mr. Heus explained. “When I put color on this dark ground, the color explodes with light. “The masters always painted on a dark ground,” Mr. Heus answered when asked if the green paper was an original idea. “Though I don’t equate myself with the masters!” he hastened to add, smiling diffidently. That disparaging word is indicative of Mr. Heus’s attitude. Artists come in two varieties: the bold braggadocio sure of himself and his place of honor in the art world and the modest recluse who lays no claim on a pedestel among art’s pantheon of greats. The first talks art; the second lives art. The first uses words to try to convince one of his talent; the r fsl Real Estate ■“.rss Eileen M. Day realtor IMPORTANCE OF COMPARABLES When you decide to sell your home, nothing, but nothing, is more important than the sales price you put on it. If you select the right agent, he or she will help you come up with the best marketing price. This is not done by looking into a crystal ball or consulting with a guru. The most important factor to consider is the price of comparable sales in your immediate area. These are sales which have already been completed of homes as nearly like yours as possible. The homes selected for comparison should be geographically near, for no one factor determines value more surely than location. The sales should also be near in time, for five-year-old sales have almost no meaning in today’s volatile financial market. Also, the homes should be similar in style, size, and condition as your property - the closer the better. Don’t pay much attention to neighborhood scuttlebutt about selling prices. Sellers often exaggerate the amount received, and buyers often minimize the amount paid. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Ray Heus belongs in the second category. “I’m not an artist yet. I’m a watercolorist and printmaker who has been at it for seven years or so,” said Mr. Heus in a 1982 interview. Today, three years later, is he an artist? He laughed. “No, but I’m getting closer!” Discipline at NVCC Mr. Heus skipped the prestigious art schools. He wanted to paint and so he painted. “It was trial and error and after error prevailed, I took some drawing classes,” he joked. Liite many beginners, he started with oils, “the worst possible medium because you can keep covering up your mistakes.” He moved to watercolors, the least forgiving medium. “If you make a mistake, that’s it. You’ve got to throw it away and start over again. It becomes a learning experience. You learn from your mistakes.” He also learned from others. Fresh from college in New York, he had joined his parents at their farm in Orlean when he heard that one of the country’s best teachers was at the Manassas campus of the Northern Virginia Community College, just a short commute from Fauquier. Disbelieving but hopeful, he tried a class and found a true drawing master. “I’m still amazed. She was terrific. If you didn’t work, she almost put you in a corner. It was real old fashioned discipline.” And discipline is the key to becoming an artist, according to Mr. Heus. “You’ve got to draw to learn — every day.

Art is like anything else. If you want to be a good stonemason, you put up a lot of stone. If you want to be a good artist, you do a lot of drawing.” So he drew — and drew — and drew. He’s still drawing. About the only thing that pulls him away from a sketch pad or a tin of guache is work on the bam he and his wife Robin bought on the bank of the Rush River in 1981. He steals time from art; she steals time from the Town Duck, her shop in old town Warrenton. “It was a shell and we’ve been turning it into a house. We’ve been digging trenches, filling holes with sand, filling holes with concrete, building, building, building, building. It’s hopelessly under construction, eternally under construction,” Mr. Heus complained. “I put a new roof on, I don’t like the roof and so I tear it off. Then, during the dryest summer on record, when the roof is off, it rains!” While the bam is an ongoing project, Mr. Heus did finish a studio last summer, where he prints from his etchings and restores oil painting and frames. “It pays the mortgage,” he explained. “Restoration work is reliable where art isn’t. Art is like a river - sometimes it rushes down, sometimes it dries to a trickle and sometimes it disappears.” On the Winslow Homer Trail Ray Heus has gone from oils to watercolors to etchings to guache, from the Adirondacks and Long Island’s Great South Bay to Piedmont gardens and the Rush River. Where is he heading now? “Next is oils. Guache is kind of an intermediate step to oils,” he said. “I like guache so much, though, that I think I’ll always do some work in that medium, just like I’ve continued to make prints (from etchings). But you can’t work large in guache, at least not on the kind of paper I TTijrv- - mnii^ CHIPMUNK HOLLOW A Clastic Collodion of Country Offoringt From Tho Bluo Rldgo Mountains Highway 211 Sperryvllle, Va. 22740 use. You’ve got to lay it down so heavy that the paper buckles. The paint puddles and the colors separate while it sits there for a half hour, drying.” As guache limits the scope, so Virginia’s winters limit the frequency of his work. Bundled up in down jackets, out of the wind, Mr. Heus can take his paints and paper outside as long as the thermometer stays above 40. But colder than that and it’s a choice of moving indoors or stopping altogether until spring. “And I don’t want to quit for the winter again, so I think I’ll hit the Winslow Homer trail. Next stop, the Bahamas!” he said, referring to the American painter and watercolorist who spent his winters in Florida, Nassau, Bermuda and the West Indies, always painting outside. But a move south would be prompted by more than a search for a warmer outdoor setting. It would give Ray Heus beaches and palm fronds. “When an artist gets comfortable with his medium, he has to change his subject matter,” Mr. Heus said. “It’s the only way to stay out of a rut. It’s the only way to keep challenging yourself. ’’ Mr. Hem's work will be displayed through January. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, 12 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, December 5,1985 Editorial Holiday cheer Eggnog spiked with the “recipe.” Steaming bowls of wassail. Hot buttered rum. And, of course, the usual gamut of cocktails. The holiday season has arrived. During this time of year many people like to entertain, be entertained, and generally “toast the season.” During this time of merriment, the consumption of alcohol is for many, but not all, an obligatory ritual. A feeling persists that the holidays just aren’t the holidays without a cup or two of cheer. As we entertain, or are about to be entertained, we should remember that driving and alcohol is a deadly combination. This year in Virginia about 300 people will die from alcoholrelated automobile accidents. Many more will have been injured. Sometimes, these injuries are not mere bruises — many people become comatose or paralyzed. Alcohol-related automobile accidents have nothing to do with holiday cheer. Later in December we will observe Virginia Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week. Although observance should have begun yesterday, it is fitting that it comes at a time of year when alcohol consumption rises. We support the statement of John T. Hanna who is deputy commissioner of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. He said, “We need to take away from drinking drivers the social acceptably they have enjoyed, and let them know this irresponsible behavior is no longer accepted in Virginia.” If you plan to drink at a party or other social function, it is your responsibility to pre-determine a method of transportation that will ensure your safe arrival home. If you do not plan ahead, it is too easy to rationalize later. Excuses come easy after a few belts. “Everybody drinks at Christmas... I won’t be the only one on the road who has had a few... I’ll be careful...” If you are giving a party it is your, yqsponsibility to determine that no one drives who has had to<y rhuch to drink. It is also your responsibility to offer non-alcoholi^beverages. Too often a guest is confronted with one of two choices at parties. A cocktail. Or a mixer. Now, there is nothing wrong with a glass of cola or club soda with lime. But there is nothing particularly right about it either. Offering this choice is an act of laziness. You can do better. A non-alcoholic punch, in which a little effort goes into the preparation, would perhaps encourage guests who are drinking to slow down. And for those who will be driving and cannot drink, such a punch — such an expression of caring by the partygiver — provides a satisfying alternative to the vodka cranberry or bourbon and ginger concoctions. All of these measures do require some effort. But if this effort prevents just one alcohol-related death or accident, we will really have something to cheer about this holiday. Rappahannock heritage Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner Beggar and friend. Letters No mandatory colors To the editor: The very fact that some hunters don’t wear orange makes it extremely important that one’s target is positively identified before the shot is fired. A law requiring all hunters to wear blaze orange would only encourage the trigger-happy to blast away at anything that is not orange. There are other people in the woods besides hunters, and there are other animals in the woods besides deer and bear. A blaze orange law might save a few hunters, but it could well result in the shooting of just about everyone and everything else — hikers, surveyors, loggers, naturalists, children, dogs, horses, and cattle. I am in favor of, and would strongly suggest, the wearing of some eye-catching color — be it blaze orange, the old-fashioned red HAPPY CHANUKAH I | The Rappahannock News inv i to send letters to the editor.

But I feel strongly that making any color mandatory would be disastrously counterproductive. JOHN CADWALADER, JR.

Box elivered at the news office on Baliles changes As the National Guard cannons boom their salute, Gerald Lee Babies will be sworn into office as governor of the commonwealth at high noon on Saturday, Jan. 11. The inauguration will be carried out with all the pomp and ceremony which traditionally accompany such mementous events in the Old Dominion. A few mo.r.°nts before, Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and Attorney General Mary Sue Terry will have taken their oaths of office. Like Gov. Charles S. Robb’s oath-taking in 1982, a spokesman for the Inaugural Committee says the 1986 ceremony will likely be held on the north side of the Capitol Building. Prior to Robb, state officials had been installed on the far more picturesque south portico. Visitors, however, were packed into crowded bleachers with almost no view of the events from the Capitol grounds. But the coming formalities aside, what is known so far about this new Administration which is about to take office in Richmond? In the weeks before the Inauguration the shape and style of the Baliles regime will, of course, emerge with much greater clarity. Cabinet appointments will be made and top level staff positions in the governor’s office will be filled. GEORGE BOWLES What must be remembered, however, is that we are seeing a change of administrations within the same party, and not a changing of the guard between incoming and outgoing parties, a far more delicate and bruising process. Baliles’ first and presumably his most important appointment must be viewed in such a context. That appointment was the tapping of David K. McCloud, Robb’s chief of staff and top cabinet officer, for a senior staff position, as yet unspecified, in the new administration. The move stunned-reporters and old Capitol hapds last week. McCloud had earlier accepted the position of administrator of the new Center for Innovative Technology, or CIT, which is being built in Northern Virginia. The appointment of McCloud brought an immediate and predictable outcry from Robb’s critics and from some members of the press. They charged that keeping McCloud on board was a clear signal that the Baliles administration would be a carbon copy of Robb’s and that Robb would still be running the state, in absentia, from his lofty perch in the Hunton and Williams law offices where he will be employed when his term expires. In point of fact, Baliles did not consult Robb at all about the hiring of McCloud. He took the step on his own and talked McCloud into turning down the $97,000 per year CIT position for one on his staff which will pay some $24,000 less.

This was the news In bygone Rappahannock times • 35 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Dee. 7,1950 edition Fire completely destroyed the home of Arthur Smoot on Monday night. The family had left the 5-room home, located on the Fodderstack road at the Resettlement, when the terrific wind-storm of the day had blown away the roof from the henhouse and bam. Mr. Smoot and his wife and two children became frightened and decided to leave their home where the windstorm seemed so fierce to go to the home of his brother nearby. By the time they had arrived at the home of his brother, flames could be seen at their own house. Winds that reached 50- and 60- mile gales ripped through the county all day Monday, tearing down trees, breaking telephone and power lines, and frightening those who tried to travel and those who stayed in-doors. Most of the county was without electric power from about 10 o’clock in the morning to 4 in the afternoon and the telephones were out most of the day. The Home Decoration Contest will be put on again this Christmas in the town of Washington. The object this year, still emphasizing safety in decoration at the Christmas season, is to have every home in the county decorated for the holiday. 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Dec. 8, 1960 edition The population of the State of Virginia has increased in the past ten years, according to the 1960 census, but Rappahannock County has decreased in population by 744 inhabitants. The census taken in 1950 listed Rappahannock’s people as 6,112, % as compared to the April 1960 count of 5,368, which is over a 15 percent drop. On December 6, sixteen senior girls at Rappahannock High School took the Betty Crocker Homemakers test. This is a fifty minute written examination on homemaking knowledge and at Bowles Continued from page 4 From Baliles’ perspective it was a coup of the first order. McCloud has proved himself to be an executive assistant of unusual ability and energy. Baliles has indicated that, unlike Robb, he will announce his cabinet and staff appointments as soon as the choices are made. Thus, with Baliles set to return from his post-election vacation in Florida on Dec. 1, word of the first of these appointments may be forthcoming during the next week or so. Rumors, as this is written, are sparse as to who will fill what jobs. The secretary of administration, a post now held by McCloud in the Robb administration, may be offered to someone else in order to free McCloud for other duties. Stuart W. Connock, secretary of finance, is likely to remain in place as is Paul Timmreck, director of planning and budget. Several names are being mentioned as possibilities for the post of secretary of human resources. Sen. Robert C. Scott of Newport News is said to be interested in the job, although he is also reportedly considering challenging Republican 1st District Congressman Herbert Bateman in the 1986 congressional races. Also interested in the appointment is Alan Wurtzel, chairman of the board of the Circuit City electronics corporation. Chris Bridge, Baliles campaign press secretary, reportedly has the inside track on that job in the new administration. Sources in the Baliles transition office, however, are quiet about all of the upcoming appointments, except to say that there may be some major surprises when they are announced. Only one thing appears certain. Sometime between now and high noon on Jan. 11, 1986, we will have had the last of the “major surprises” of this infinitely surprising election season. We will then get on to the surprises of the new administration, in which, we are given to understand, Gov. Jerry Baliles has more than a few in store. titudes taken by graduating senior girls in high schools throughout the United States.

Farm gleaning movement The United States Senate today passed Senator Paul Trible’s amendment commending farmers and charitable organizations who aid the needy by gleaning America’s farmlands. “Throughout the United States, and particularly in Virginia, there is an active gleaning movement. Farmers donate surplus crops to help those who are less fortunate and charitable groups distribute these crops to feed the hungry. “The Congress expressed its strong support of those individuals and charitable organizations involved in these humanitarian efforts and encouraged state and local governments to adopt tax incentives and other measures that will promote those activities,” Trible said. Today, food producers and hunger relief organizations collect vegetables, grains and fruit which might have been passed over during a harvest or may not be suitable for sale. “One of the best examples of such an effort is the Potato Project of the Society of St. Andrew in Big Island. The Society has distributed millions of pounds of surplus potatoes — which otherwise would have been thrown away — to needy individuals in more than 40 states,” Trible said.

Christmas Auction held at Highland Highland School opened the holiday season with a record crowd on November 23 for The Olde English Christmas Auction. Guests were greeted with Christmas wreaths and luminaria to light their way into the school, transformed into a corner of England. The Stocking Stuffer was literally stuffed with buyers armloaded with imported plum puddings, sweaters, and scented soaps, while a Sell-out of 20 minutes cleared the goodies from the Sweet Shoppe. The decked halls bulged with laughter and excitement as every one buzzed about to cheek their bids in the silent auction. A fabulous selection of gifts made this segment of the evening most interesting for shoppers and bids were typically generous. The live auction commenced with great enthusiasm, as Auctioneer Sonny Laws presided over the flurry of waving bid numbers — dinner, hand-made wooden reindeer,* fabulous trips, antiques — each desired by many, each purchased quite charitably.

Jj DO YOU KNOW THIS BOOK? Maybe it seems odd to think that anyone has to "discover" the Bible. Vet stop and think how few of us really know this Book of books. Time was when families read the Bible together, and most youngsters could quote their Scriptures. Biblical allusions were commonplace and understood by one and all Then somehow, over the years, a lot of people forgot about the Bible. Or they reserved it exclusively for Sundays in church. Now. there is a great and blessed resurgence of Bible reading throughout the world — thanks to the great work of organizations like the American Bible Society. Youngsters like these are learning new truths for themselves. They are putting God s word not just into Sunday, but into every day.

Gay St. Washington, Va. 703-675-3410 Thurs.-Sun. j 10to6; Support needed for construction By BETH STOUT, Extension Agent Rapp lannock New* Contributing Writer Community involvement and support is being encouraged for a local resident’s Eagle Project. Lee Baines has a great vision. His plan is to organize construction of an outdoor classroom at Rappahannock Elementary School. The vision does not stop there — plans are in the making for a nature trail with an accompanying brochure. The outdoor facility will aid county residents in becoming more informed about our environment and provide many new learning experi ences. A mulched trail and seating area will make the outdoors — and natural history subjects — more accessible to elementary school students and teachers. Community members may assist Lee in a number of ways. Materials are needed — planks for the platforms, mulch for the trail, cedar for the signpost. Laborers will also be needed. If you would like to assist Lee with his endeavor that will benefit Rappahannock residents, please give hime a call at 675-3253 between 4-9 p.m. weekdays and Saturday.

Tom Von Fange’s look-alikes (Continued from Page 1) grain bins, is hand tooled by one of the three cabinet makers and then signed. | “We use spokeshaves, drawknives and wood planes to give the furniture a primitive, old-fashioned look that people want today,” Tom said. “Most of the furniture made today is plastic and people want solid wood furniture made by hand that they can have in their homes and pass on to their children. ” Tom started making the furniture Six months ago as a side business to his custom cabinet and kitchen business because of neighbors. “The McKittericks, our neighbors, were looking for a farm table and they described what they wanted to me,” Tom said. “They bought an antique table somewhere, and when I found out the outrageous price they paid for it and how happy they were they found it, I decided to make a few.” When he first started making the tables, he did not know where he would sell them. “I put some out front to dry and a lady stopped and asked to buy one,” Tom said. “I put two more out the next day, and I sold those so I decided I really didn’t need a showroom.” Country Manor Gift Shop bought some of the furniture to put in the Deli and the pieces sold “right away.” Antique dealers in the area also buy the furniture for their shops. “Farm tables are expensive in antique shops where the prices begin at $300 — at least — and can run up to $1,200,” Tom said. “Ours start at $225, so the price is one of the main things that sells them.” Tom, who started his cabinet making business in 1982 after teaching Industrial Arts at RCHS, is finding it easy to sell all of the furniture. ‘With three people working, we can usually make two tables a day and a hutch in three to four days,” he said. ‘We’re selling all we can make right now.” Most of the sales have been to people passing through the county, JEFF DWYER puts the finishing touch on a farm table but he said local residents have recently begun to show an interest in the furniture. “Sometimes the tourists point the way to something in your own backyard,” Tom said. He said winter is usually a cabinet maker’s best season for sales since people are indoors more and start to notice furniture needs. He is planning to expand his market more by including mail orders, but he does not want the business to grow too large. “We just expanded our shop area so that I could have five people working,” Tom said. “I enjoy building the furniture, though, and I want to keep it a cottage industry so it doesn’t begin to feel like a factory. I don’t want the furniture mass produced.” Each piece of furniture now is a little different from any other piece, and he said he wants to keep it that way. Special touches that add the right look to the furniture also take time. “The antique farm tables were used to slaughter pigs and clean deer on, so the farmers didn’t build them to look really nice,” Tom said. “I have gone around to antique shops and looked at the furniture, and we reproduce the wear that the furniture would have had through use.” He said the wood is “distressed” in various ways. Any knobs and latches are not put on tightly and are worn wherever thumbs and fingers would be naturally wearing the wood, the furniture is put together using old-fashioned nails, and an early American stain is used. Reproduction blacksmith hinges are used on hutch doors. “The actual antiques are really rickety, but people can get the same look in a sturdy piece of furniture made by a cabinet maker,” Tom said. “They’re really buying new antiques.” The furniture’s unique look has caused a few visits by people Tom calls “spies.” “We’ve had several people stop by and try to figure out how we make it all look so old,” he said. “They ask a lot of questions and never buy anything. I don’t know of anyone else in this area doing anything like this^’" Tom has made some pieces that he and his wife do not want to sell, like a table made with a unique board that still had its bark when Tom bought it. “We hand stripped the bark off, and made a table out of it that would be very hard to find anywhere else,” he said. “1 don’t know if I’ll let that one go.” Since sales have picked up, Tom has the luxury of keeping some of his furniture. “When you first start a business, things are pretty tight,” he said. “In the past few months, though, we’ve been able to put some of my things in our house instead of having to sell everything.” Tom hopes that trend will continue. Business Tax-wise Loans By O. EARL YANCEY,CPA Rannhannock New* Contributing Writer It’s not unusual for individuals to lend money to family members, friends, and to their own businesses. It’s also not uncommon for some of these loans to end up as uncollectible bad debts. The IRS is very suspicious of loans to family, friends and one’s own business and will try to force you to prove certain things if you try to deduct such loans as bad debts. The IRS will expect you to prove that you did indeed make a loan and that the money was not a gift to a family member or friend or a capital contribution to your company. The IRS will look for evidence that the bad debt that you want to deduct is in fact uncollectible. Finally, if you try to treat the loan as a business loan with its more favorable tax treatment rather than as a personal loan with less favorable treatment, the IRS will expect proof that the loan was business related. Do the necessary paperwork at the time you make the loan, business Tax Guides Available The 1985 Farmer’s Tax Guides are now in supply at the Rappahannock Extension Office.

Draw up a note for the loan, stating the interest rate, schedule of repayment, and the collateral that secures the loan. If the loan becomes uncollectible, be certain your collection attempts are formally documented. Keep copies of letters sent to the debtor and a record of other collection attempts that you make. If the loan is a business one, have that fact documented in the loan agreement or in business records or corporate minutes. A business bad debt can be deducted when it becomes partially worthless or completely worthless and it gives you an ordinary loss that offsets taxable income dollar for dollar. A personal debt can only be deducted when it is totally worthless and is treated as a short-term capital loss which means it will first offset capital gains and then can offset ordinary income to the extent of only $3,000 per year.

School 5r 1A of Rappahannock county elementary school Unly a very small percentage of parents and teachers have been active in the Student, Parent and Teacher Association on an ongoing basis. However, last year, through the steady determination of a handful of people, the SPTA raised close to $2,000 from sock hops, quilt and Christmas stocking raffles, and various other efforts. This year the SPTA intends to continue its aggressive fund-raising activities (four sock hops, several raffles, possible SPTA-sponsored trips) in order to provide muchneeded equipment and assistance for the elementary school and its teachers. The SPTA is currently in the process of deciding where to spend its money. There is general agreement that playground improvements must be made and a portion of its monies will be designated for major playground improvements. SPTA is also providing direct equipment for teachers upon request, such as the microwave oven purchased last year for the kindergarten grades. This year the SPTA has approved the purchase of a microscope for the 6th grade class, the purchase of general playground equipment for Mrs. O’Byme’s class (can be used by other teachers as well), and a monetary contribution to the 7th grade for their class trip. Many other requests are being considered, students Participate in Model United Nations conference By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Seven students from Wakefield, accompanied by faculty advisor Erin Duffy, traveled to the John F. Kennedy High School in Plainview, Long Island, to participate in the fourth annual Metropolitan Model United Nations Conference (METMUNC). Overall there were more than 150 students representing high schools from Virginia to Maine who took part in the three-day conference. Students were advised ahead of time which countries they would be representing, which councils they would serve on, and what the agenda would be. The students were then expected to do the research necessary to discuss the topics on the agenda. Wakefield students acted as delegates from the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe. Five councils or committees formed the model United Nations. Michael Atkins Michael Atkins in National Honor Society Michael S. Atkins was inducted into the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools, on Thursday, October 31, 1985. Michael is a junior at the Wilmington Christian School in Hockessin, DE. He is the treasurer of the junior class, oh the staff of the year book and a member of the math club. He is the son of Robert and Evelyn Atkins, of New London, Pa., and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh S. Atkins, of Sperry ville, VA.

In the council on Special Politics the representatives from the various countries discussed apartheid while the Political Security Council debated the difference between terrorists and freedom fighters. The Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee discussed how to control over-population and the plight of migrant workers. In all the committees, the countries’ representatives wrote up “working papers” which posed a solution to a given problem. Then a vote was taken on whether or not the solution would become a resolution. At this point all other councils were permitted either to participate in the Security Council’s dealing with emergency or continue with their current agenda. In the Security Council, China took the report of the radiation as a threat as they thought that the Soviets were experimenting with nuclear weapons. In the end, the emergency was diffused when it was realized that the radiation was caused by a “Star Wars” type accident. All of the Wakefield students involved in the model UN agreed that it was a most informative trip and that they learned a lot about world issues. They were especially impressed by the sincerity of all involved; rules of protocol were strictly adhered to and all the students worked long hours both in preparation for the conference and during the actual proceedings. The Wakefield students participating in the Model UN were Laurene Cox of Culpeper, Bill Meuse of Berryville, Louis Poore of Washington, Lorrie Shea of Winchester, Andrew Supit of Huntly, Larry Tarr of Warrenton and Tara Welty, also of Washington. ROBERT ESTABROOK School Board approves Superintendent The Rappahannock School Board held its annual review of the school superintendent, Robert Estabrook, at its meeting Monday evening. It was decided that he will continue in this position for another four-year term. The Board also agreed to hire Jeanne McClure as a first grade teacher, replacing Betty Settle, who is Wakefield places in math contest By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock New« Contributing Writer Wakefield has been named among the top scoring schools in the 1985-8R Virginia Mathematics League Contest in which advanced mathematics students from 115 high schools statewide participated. The Wakefield team’s cumulative score of 28 was tied for third place just behind the second place score of 29 and the first place score of 30. The competing teams in the contest are composed of the five highest scoring students in each school. The Wakefield team included Sean Bennett of Boston, Hank Sohn of Springfield and Larry Tarr of Warrenton. Those three students along with classmates Sean Dolan of Warrenton and Thomas Jerome Hegerich of Berryville comprised the Wakefield team. Elise Maar of Front Royal served as the alternate. All are calculus and pre-calculus students of Charles McGlothlin, the head of Wakefield’s Mathematics Department.

Party givers must heed drinking driver lifesaving tips As a party host or hostess during the holiday season, you can plan safe alternatives for both drinking and driving guests without inhibiting the life of the party. These safety tips can help insure that your party doesn’t end in tragedy: — Use alcohol as an accompaniment to social activities, not the main focus. Avoid pressuring guests to drink. — Have nonalcoholic beverage available. Some people do not drink alcohol. — Serve high protein foods like cheese, meat and eggs before and during drinking. They slow down the stomach’s alcohol absorption rate. — Use standard measures when mixing drinks: jiggers or one-ounce bottle spouts. — Serve mixed drinks or spiked punches with a noncarbonated base like fruit juice or tea. Alcohol is absorbed faster when carbonated. — If a guest drinks too much, start a conversation to slow down the drinking; offer food or suggest a nonalcoholic drink — Stop serving alcohol about an hour before the party is over, allowing guests more time for their bodies to get rid of the alcohol they have consumed. — Remember, neither coffee or cold showers can sober up anyone. Only time can lower a person’s blood alcohol concentraction.(BAC). Despite even the best planned party there may be guests who do drink too much and insist on driving home. “If this happens, take charge and don’t give in,” advises John T. Hanna, deputy commissioner, Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. “You may lose a friend that night, but you will have a better friend in the morning.” The following are some standard drinking driving intervention procedures, but don’t just limit your actions to these: — Drive your guest home or ask another sober person to provide a ride. — Have your guest stay overnight. This small inconvenience may save someone’s life. — For teenage guests, call their parents for a ride. — If a guest insists on driving, try to take away the car keys. If someone is too drunk to reason with, then it is imperative that you take charge. — Use physical restraint if necessary. It sounds drastic, but your guests must not be allowed to drive. — Call a dial-a-ride program in your community if available. — Call a cab for your guest. For more information on drinking and driving write or call your local alcohol safetv action program (ASAP). National Home Care Week The week of December 1-7 has been designated as National Home Care Week in recognition of nurses, therapists, companions, and aides who provide health and personal care to homebound and recuperating patients. FamilyCare Home Care Services, a subsidiary of Culpeper Memorial Hospital, has been providing home health services to the fivecounty area for three years. “We have seen a dramatic increase in the need for our services since we opened,” says Vivian Dennis, director of FamilyCare, “because Medicare restrictions have shortened hospital stays, ^pd scattered families are not able to care for sick relatives. We have spent this year expanding and fine-tuning our services.” FamilyCare began a two-way voice communication system in January 1985. Purchased by the Auxiliary’s 1984 Lights of Love, Communi-Call units are now in use from Burr Hill to Washington. People who live alone use this service to have someone to call for emergency assistance. The operators who receive clients’ calls keep the line open until assistance arrives while they make whatever calls the clients need for help. Added to the FamilyCare staff this year is a social worker who assesses clients’ individual needs and puts the clients in touch with local social service organizations and health departments that can assist them with special services. This coordination of services with local agencies can enhance and expand the care that clients receive. “We 1985 Virginia Drinking and Driving laws Drinking age: — Virginia’s legal drinking age is 21 for the purchase and consumption of wine, distilled spirits and beer. Exception: Anyone age 19 by July 1, 1985, may continue to purchase or drink beer. Driving under the influence (DUI): — Virginia law presumes a driver to be under the influence of alcohol when the blood alcohol content (BAC) reaches .10 percent, however, impairment occurs well before reaching that level. Drivers with a. 15 percent or greater may be convicted of DUI without further evidence. Drivers arrested with a BAC below . 10 percent may still be convicted, with additional evidence of intoxications due to alcohol or other drugs. Penalties for Alcohol related traffic offenses: DUI — First conviction — Mandatory six-month loss of driver’s license without referral to Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP). — Possible jail sentence up to one year. — Maximum fine of $1,000. — Possible loss of driver’s license up to six months with VASAP referral. — VASAP referral possible after DUI conviction. DUI — Second or Subsequent Conviction — Mandatory three-year loss of driver’s license for a second conviction within five to 10 years without VASAP referral and indefinite license revocation for third conviction. — Possible loss of driver’s license up to three years with VASAP referral. May receive restricted license option: 1) to and from work, 2) to and from ASAP classes and 3) during work if necessary for job. — Mandatory 48 hours in jail for the second conviction in a five-year period, 30 days if third conviction within five years and 10 days if third conviction within 10 years. — Possible imprisonment up to one year. — Maximum fine of $1,000. — VASAP referral possible after second conviction, but not after a third conviction. work with all resources available to get what the patient needs,” says, Vivian Dennis. The number of personal care clients seen by FamilyCare has jumped sevenfold this year. Personal care is given by companions and by personal care aides. Companions perform basic housekeeping that the client needs and prepares and serves clients’ meals. Aides help clients with bathing, walking, shopping, and with their laundry. Nurses are also on call during the weekends in case clients who are under the care of the agency have an immediate problem. One of the biggest changes of the year occurred when the agency moved recently from their outgrown quarters in the hospital to larger offices in the Medical Professional Building on Laurel Street. This new office next to Dr. John Payette’s office is headquarters for 32 staff members who in October made 484 home visits, not counting personal care visits. FamilyCare staff members are qualified to provide skilled nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, selected lab services, personal care and companion services to clients in their homes. Having professional care in their homes helps shorten or prevent hospital admissions for many clients. Individuals and families as well as physicians may determine that FamilyCare is appropriate for a patient. After receiving information on the patient’s needs, the FamilyCare staff works closely with the personal physician to establish a plan for the care and treatment the client receives. Patients who consult physicians who are located out of town find FamilyCare Home Care Services convenient for follow-up treatment and postoperative care without traveling long distances. Culpeper Memorial Hospital President W. A. Gravely, Jr., salutes the FamilyCare staff during National Home Care Week. ‘‘FamilyCare staff members play a vital role in providing key services to our medical community,” says Gravely. “The increase in services is certainly an indication of the need in our community.” For further information and a brochure explaining FamilyCare services, please call FamilyCare, 825-CARE, or the department of community relations at Culpeper Memorial Hospital, 825-2811. “On The Morning Side Of The Blue Ridge” —tells the story of Rappahannock County and Its people — The soft bound book includes old photographs and special articles which appeared each month of the 1983 sesquicentennial year plus stories of historical interest from past years.

BZA Continued from page 1 for a small used car lot seemed to fit best under the “automotive garage” category. The Fryes’ application is for the right to display three or four cars at one time on the front lawn of Mrs. Dwight Frye’s house. All body work and maintenance on the cars would be done in Mount Jackson, Va., where the Fryes’ father has a car repair shop. Mr. Frye submitted a petition to the BZA with 13 signatures of people who live or work in the vicinity of the proposed car lot, who do not object to the application. The BZA also read three letters into the record by concerned citizens opposing the application. Virginia Smith and Marion Kuhn gave testimony against the application, while Everett Estes voiced his approval. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Kuhn own property near the intended car lot; Mr. Estes is Dwight Frye’s fatherin-law. Mrs. Smith said she and her husband “were very disturbed when we heard we would have another used car lot directly across from our driveway. If we sat on our front porch we would view it.” She also said, “What I’m objecting to is increasing what is already there. I think it is commercial business you can’t control.” Mrs. Smith called the B&B auto lot that is directly across from their field “a blight.” Mrs. Kuhn raised the issue of zoning at the proposed car lot site. “I don’t know how a variance can be given to agricultural land for commercial use,” she said. She is also concerned about highway safety. She said the locale, which “has four to five houses and a grocery, is already a dangerous intersection anrl has to be approached around a curve.” She also expressed concern about enforcement of the BZA’s special use permits and variances. Mr. Estes addressed the safety issue raised by Mrs. Kuhn, pointing , out there was a highway shoulder at the site. He said “I could pack in all my trucks at my shop and it would be a worse hazard.” Colonel Knupfer also spoke against the danger of slack enforcement of BZA recommendations. “You’ve got to maintain control,” he said. “Apparently, control has not been maintained in other car lots. Beware the nose of the camel. ” Speaking of the B&B used car lot, Attorney David Konick said that at the present time the lot is not zoned for commercial use. However, Mr. Konick added, “I understand that under the new zoning ordinance the property has been zoned commercial.” The BZA recommended that those opposed to the possible change write a letter or talk to the Board of Supervisors regarding the new districting of the property as commercial. In further discussion, the BZA agreed to consider a special use permit with a time limit, to ensure that recommendations are being met. On another matter, William and Elizabeth Faulconer’s request for a variance from a subdivision requirement for their house and surrounding acreage in Chester Gap was dispensed by the BZA, due to lack of jurisdiction. The BZA returned the Faulconers’ $40 application fee and recommended they submit their application to the Board of Supervisors. “We’re not the Board of Subdivision Appeals — we’re the Board of Zoning,” said BZA member Greg Monahan. “This is the second time it’s happened in six months,” he said. The BZA also went into executive session with Peter Luke, Commonwealth Attorney, to discuss “a matter of possible litigation,’ according to Chairman Bird. “W< made no resolution, but we havt given necessary instructions in th( matter to the Zoning Administratoi and the Commonwealth Attorney,’ he said. Board of Supervisors meeting Continued from page 1 were missing from the stairs leading into the cellar and that no door was in place. He recalled that in this particular instance children lived in the house. Mr. Smet also recommended to the Board that all electrical, plumbing and mechanical contractors be certified. “I have had quite a number of cases where people have been hired who have very little knowledge of what they are doing,” said Mr. Smet. He also said that this recommendation would help eliminate the “fly-by-night” contractors. The building official was asked if people who plan to build homes on their own property must be certified. Mr. Smet replied that no certification would be required in this type of situation. However a subcontractor who is hired must meet the certification requirement. To be certified an individual must pass a state examination in Culpeper and pay a nominal fee. On another matter, Mr. Smet said that he has received complaints concerning the presence of used junk cars in the county. These are being kept on the properties of Kerry Grigsby in Sperryville, Jimmy Hitt in Scrabble and Charles Compton in Laurel Mills. Mr. Smet noted that, in order to keep such vehicles, a special permit must be granted. The Board authorized Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke to take civil action against the violators if necessary. Mr. Luke said that he will first send each of the violators a letter of warning; it will state that the owners must, within 20 days, bring their property to a condition that is in compliance with the law?. The renovation of the County Courthouse was also on the Board agenda. A new air-conditioning system leads the list of renovations. j NUGGETS OF TRUTH ; By PASTOR ROBERT DUNPHY Family Worahip Center. Washington. Va. GREETINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS I Many people have asked me. "How ! can you love everybody you meet?” { Well, I am a Christian. That word i means Little Christ. The Bible said in I ■ John 4:8 “He that loveth not knoweth! not God; for God is love.” We all know j that Jesus Christ is God. * Jesus gives us the New Testament { commandment in John 13:45 & 35. "Ai new commandment I give unto you, j that ye love one another; as I have; loved you, that ye also love one an-j other. By this shall all men know that ye j are my disciples, if ye have loved one to* another.” You have heard people say, IJ believe in Jesus, I love Jesus. Well.J that's not enough. He said in John! 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my com-j mandments." We must love ALL peo- J pie, good or bad. You don't have to love '■ what they do or how they act, but you! must love them and show that love. Je- i sus said "I am the light of the world." He! also said. “You don't hide a light under a bushel. " John 14:6 says, “I am the way, the truth and life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Some people teach that if you follow Jehova God you will rest in peace. That is not so, according to John 14:6, the Bible teaches we must come to Jesus, and be bom again. (John 3:7). Romans 10:9 & 10 says, "That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved." For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." If the Church you go to does not teach love or show true love, pray about it, pray for your Pastor. If you do not have a church home, and you need Christian love, we invite you to come and worship with us. Remember. Jesus loves you and so do we. Your donations to this ministry will be appreciated.

The jury room is also in need of soundproofing. Mr. Luke urged the Board to consider the issue as soon as possible. He said that in certain jurisdictions, including Loudon County, judges have issued orders to other Boards of Supervisors to bring their courthouses to an appropriate standard. There was also discussion on whether to try and find a contractor who could do the entire job or award the various components of renovation to individual contractors. It was noted that the former approach would require a Class A contractor, while the latter would possibly result in the work being done by local contractors (who generally have a a business too small for Class A status). Members of the Board were also concerned with the expense of the project. They plan to contact an architect in order to advertise for bids properly. The Board, in another matter, also approved the Highway Department’s Six-Year Plan for county secondary roads.
