Rappahannock News, December 12, 1985

Founded 1877 USPS 455580 18 pages THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1985 Washington, Virginia, 22747 Phone 675-3349 ■r 25 cents Rapp ups RAAC holiday celebrations The Rappahannock Association For The Arts and The Community (RAAC) announced plans for their traditional community Christmas celebration and their annual fund-raising dance. The Community Christmas celebration is scheduled for December 21, beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the courthouse with the lighting of the tree. This annual ceremony is special to the residents of the town of Washington, and RAAC directors hope that people from all over Rappahannock will join them this year. “Stringing the lights on the tree in the bitter cold is an accomplishment in itself,” said RAAC president Frank Reynolds. “For years, Sam and Waldren O’Connor have seen to this and preservered until every light is in exactly the right place.” After the lighting there will be singing. Then the crowd will go to the Gay Street Theatre, munching on cookies and sipping on cider w'hile watching tile heartwarming seasonal tribute prepared entirely by Rappahannock friends and neighbors. This year there will be a children’s Christmas dance, appropriate holiday readings, live instrumental music and singing. All the events of the evening are free of charge, including the showing of the movies “Scrooge” following the live performances. The movie is provided courtesy of the Rush River Company. RAAC’s fundraiser this holiday season will be at Oasis Vineyard in Huntly, on December 28, featuring The Mystery Band, a regional band with a loyal local following, playing dance music of the last three generations of dancers: “from Andrews Sisters to Pointer Sisters; from big band to boogie, they play it better than anyone I’ve heard,” said a lifelong fan. Dancing will be in the tasting room at Oasis, off Route 636 in Huntly. A choice of fine Oasis wines, soft drinks, desserts and hors d’oeuvrcs w ill fortify the dancers from 8:00 until midnight. “This will be a wonderful winter evening” said dance chairman Diana Bird. “People of all ages will be dancing until midnight in a beautiful setting in front of a roaring fire to the best dance music the area has to offer.” Bird said that dance reservations should be made early and those interested may do so by mailing a request and check to RAAC, P.O. Box 24, Washington, VA 22747. Many county residents will be receiving a mailed invitation and should respond quickly. I Balanced budget Seventh District Congressman French Slaughter joined a bipartisan group of over 200 Congressmen in support of the balanced budget amendment to the Constitution to break the deadlock over federal deficit spending. The group held a press conference in Washington today to announce that this amendment now has the support of a majority of the House of Representatives, including Slaughter. “Debate over the specifics of the Gramm/Rudman deficit reduction measure may have stalled,” said Slaughter, “but the fact that Congress is discussing ways to decrease the deficit rather than increase spending is certainly a good sign. Unfortunately, so far Congress has failed to take the necessary action to eliminate the deficits. “The American taxpayer has forced Congress to realize that a balanced Federal budget is our top priority. If all goes as we hope, we will meet that priority and guarantee that we spend within our income in the future. With a majority of the House (220 members) signed on as cosponsors of this amendment, we are making progress towards the two-thirds vote needed to pass the amendment which will put us on the road towards fiscal responsibility.” CUTTING CHRISTMAS TREES is hard work — Bob Harris of Sp^TlTe Ph°,°/Greg ^ takes a well deserved break. r Delegate Guest receives report Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Jr., announced that he has received a copy of the report Employment Trends and Complaints of Discrimination, published by the Virginia Equal Employment Opportunity Committee.

Special use permit may be voided By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer Mayor Peter Kramer called a special meeting of the Washington Town Council on December 5 to address questions raised in a letter by Barbara Wood. Mrs. Wood is objecting to the proposed Krebser and Martin Partnership building for which a special use permit was granted by Town Council on November 13. The letter states that the lot, on which the structure is to be built, was incorrectly advertised. In her letter Mrs. Wood states that “the request for a Special Use Permit to construct the building was for Lot No. 41-Block Tax Map . 20A1-11 lb.” She continues, “(i)n fact the town council granted a Special Use Permit for, and the owners wanted a permit for, Lot. No. 113.” The proposed 1,625 one level structure would be situated beside the Rappahannock Medical Center. In her letter, Mrs. Wood also argues against the building’s proposed parking plan. “The town ordinance has a parking requirement for 1 space for each 100 sq. ft. of building. If the council examines the actual space available for parking on the proposed site, it will find that an area to accommodate the number of cars for the already two existing buddings and the proposed building, as deemed necessary for the square footage, does not exist.” The letter also argues that the permit was issued when a variance was needed. “It is my understanding that the Va. Code does not permit the town council to grant a variance. Can the town council legally grant a Special Use Permit in a case where a variance is called for?” Mayor Kramer believes that the original Special use permit has to be invalidated. “I as Mayor feel this is what needs to be done and would like a motiori to nullify our special use permit." The mayor stated at the meeting that it was his opinion that “we need to advertise for the correct lot number and re-run the ad.” He also said, “Dr. Krebser has expressed his desire to re-run the ad properly.” Council member Newbill Miller said that he had no objection about having another hearing but said that a new hearing could not invalidate the special use permit which was previously granted. He also stated that “we can’t do anything binding” at the meeting held on December 5 because Mr. Kramer had not given proper notice to council members. All of the members were present except for William Wickens. Mr. Kramer said that he tried repeatedly to contact Mr. Wickens but was unable to reach him. Attorney Doug Baumi idner, who was attending a Water and Sewer Authority meeting in the courthouse, was asked for advice. “To be on the safe side each member should be given written notice of the meeting,” said Mr. Baumgardner. Mr. Kramer said that he called the special meeting in order to give citizens an opportunity to respond to the special use permit within a 30 day period. “I am trying to avoid putting somebody between a rock and a hard place,” he said. After re-checking a calendar it *^vas decided that the regular Town Council meeting, to be held on December 11, would still be within that period. The parking issue caused much discussion at the meeting. It was generally concluded that only one or two buildings in the town currently meet the conditions of the present ordinance. Mr. Miller said that the council would not be able to hold the Krebser and Martin' Partnership to one standard while allowing a different standard for others. Dr. Werner Krebser, who was in attendance, said that he would “not stand still” on the issue. If he is to be held to the ordinance, he said, “every building is going to have it.” The major said,“There is a basic disagreement on the council as to what parking may be.” Realtor Eileen Day said that she was concerned that the ordinance based its parking provisions on square footage rather than actual usage.

La Galerie des Beaux-Arts features an unusual, somewhat eclectic, collection by European artists spanning the 17th to the 19th centuries. French, Dutch, Russian, German and English schools of painting are represented in the gallery. Mrs. Krebser collected the paintings during extensive travel in Europe with her husband. Dr. Werner Krebser. "Wre have been collecting over the past four or five years," she explained. The paintings, which may be described as not inexpensive, were purchased at important auction houses in Europe. All of the works have been researched by Mrs. Krebser at the extensive library of the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

She points to a pan,iing that appears, at first, to be a simple pastoral scene. “If you examine it closely you will see that it has an entire mythological basis" says Mrs. Krebser. < hie of the Dutch paintings, entitled "Declaration of Love” involves a young woman who debates whether to marry. Standing before a scale, she places on one side several jewels given by her suitor; the other side, weighed down, sports a bird that symbolizes her freedom. The marriage will probably not occur. Besides the paintings, the gallery otters other surprises. Once a dreary' run-down structure, the building has been completely renovated by the Krebsers.

The Authority now estimates that the cost to users may be as much as 20 percent less than originally estimated by BuchartHom Engineering. Buchart-Hom is the Williamsburg firm contracted by WSA to provide management and on-site supervision for construction of the Sperryville sewage system. The new estimates are based on a revised schedule for apportioning units of use to Sperryv ille residents — known as Estimated Dwelling Units (EDUs). Under the original plan, the engineers thought it would be more efficient if some sewage tanks were shared. However, it appears that the people who would have been sharing tanks with neighbors can now have their own tanks at a lower cost than originally estimated for shared tanks. This turnabout is the result of a revised EDU schedule that will more closely reflect actual use of the tanks. The rate charged per EDU will still be the same, regardless of whether the user is commercial or residential. The change comes because of a new proposal to alter the number of EDUs assigned to participants in the sewage system. Buchart-Hom has also estimated that the total cost for sewer lines, cables, tanks and hook-ups will be closer to $917,000 than the $936,000 originally estimated. Under the new proposal, EDUs assigned to users would more closely reflect actual use. Service stations, for example, with two bays or less, would be assigned three EDUs instead of two as proposed under the original plan. A laundromat could he assigned 1 EDU per washer instead of one-half EDU. “We have heen saying we can deliver sewage in the range of $12 to $15 per month," said WSA chairman Bob Dennis. “It still looks possible.” WSA member Martin Woodard, who has been active in revising the new EDU schedule, said, “I think it is real good news we can more closely parallel th<- needs of residents for less mom' ' Buckley-Lages. tie contractor for installing the tanks and collection lines, is expected to order tanks for the system very soon. Approximately 140 tanks will be ordered, including four commercial tanks. Work crews' for both BuekleyLages and Perry Engineering, responsible for construction of the Sperryville treatment plant, have been putting in much overtime during the past few weeks. Weather-related delays during November put both crews behind schedule, but they are trying to meet their midDecember deadlines. WSA expects to hold a special meeting during the next couple of weeks to complete work on the proposed EDU schedule and on the Sperryville sewage ordinance. Following this meeting, WSA will hold a joint meeting with the Board of Supervisors, probably in January, when the public will be invited to share its views on the ordinance and all related matters. The ordinance and user plan must be in place before the system starts operating sometime next spring. (Continued on Page 18)

HAVING HOLIDAY FUN at The Inn at Little Washington as Harold Green Christmas greenery. Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner and Carolyn Pullen put up General District Court There was drama in District Court this week during the trial of George Boot Jenkins for refusing to take a blood and breath test following a road accident on September 7. Mr. Jenkins’ lawyer, George Freeman of Fairfax, was late to Mr. Jenkins’ trial because of another trial he had attended in Culpeper. B^catise of the delay, two witnesses against the defense were forced to wait for an hour and a half. About 10 minutes after Judge John Alexander called Mr. Jenkins’ trial to order, Mr. Freeman entered the courtroom. State trooper R.A. Baines had already begun to present his testimony against Mr. Jenkins. At first, Judge Alexander denied Mr. Freeman permission to represent Mr. Jenkins. “You cdme in late every case you’ve got,” said Judge Alexander. Mr. Freeman, who was active in his denial, was then threatened by Judge Alexander with the prospect of being fined. Judge Alexander finally accepted Mr. Freeman’s request to represent Mr. Jenkins. Sharon Nicholson, of Charlottesville, was a key witness in Mr. Jenkins’ trial. She testified that Mr. Jenkins had in fact been the driver ol the red pick up truck that collided with a Ford Escort on Route 231 on September 7. Mr. Freeman commented that Miss Nicholson’s testimony “wasn’t the testimony I heard before.” Mr. Jenkins had earlier been charged with driving under the influence but this was changed to refusal to take a blood and breath test.

Rappahannock News Photo- William Wesley Talbott OLD CHIMNEY ON a snowy day near Washington School Board opposesvoucher program By STELLA RICHARDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board in its regular monthly meeting on December 10 voiced strong opposition to the Reagan Administration’s proposed voucher program, which is expected to be submitted to Congress in the near future. Under the voucher program, money for remedial education from the so-called “Chapter One” fund could be transferred to a public, private or other school upon the parent’s request. The Board moved in consensus to send letters to appropriate state and federal officials strongly opposing any such program. In other business, school superintendent, Robert Estabrook presented plans for a workshop in the Elementary School on December 11 Ibr previously identified gifted and talented children. The workshop is the brainstorm of Elementary School Principal, Maggie Piper, Mr. Estabrook said. Members of the faculty and community will offer seminars on such topics as visual arts (Laurie Marshall); psychosocial skills, (Lena Stoltzfus), (Mary Ann Biggs), creative and productive thinking (John Tole) and instrumental music (Tom Espinola). “The nicest thing about the project is that is brings the faculty and community together,” said School Board chairman, Bessie Massie. “Even the ones that are not directly involved will benefit,” said Board member, Nancy Reeve. “They will get a change. ” “It could be done a number of times, if successful,” Mr. Estabrook noted. One of the criterion for judging the workshop’s success is an evaluation sheet to which each participating child will be asked to respond at the end of the program. Examples of statements on the sheet are, “In this class, I was exposed to topics which I haven’t dealt with be PRESENTATION OF THE OFFER You will probably hear first by telephone that a written offer has come in on your property. Because offers must be presented immediately, you might even be notified while out of town. This is a good reason to keep your agent appraised of your whereabouts if you are of the traveling kind. Most homeowners react by immediately asking how much the buyers are prepared to pay. However, if there are several minor provisions or a major one included in the offer, don’t be put off if the agent would prefer to set up a time and place to discuss the offer with you personally and explain the details and financial elements. What may sound extremely good or bad over the phone may look a lot different when explained on paper. If several offers come in, it is best to consider all at the same time. The first one signed by would-be buyers does not have any precedence. As long as you have not acted on any offer, you are free to consider all of them and respond to whichever one you choose. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA 22747. Phone: 675-3400. We’re here to help. fore” and “As a result of this class, I appreciate more the way other people think and feel about things.” The youngest children will be read the statements and asked to respond verbally. Mr. Estabrook also reported on his recent trip to Richmond’s Varina High School — the Governor’s Center for educational innovation and technology. Mr. Estabrook noted that this remarkable school is representative of a wide range of students and is not exclusively for the gifted and talented. He will make a further report on his findings at the next Board meeting in January. The Board also opened bids on the cafeteria service, as it is required to do every six months. Schenks, H.F.P., Sisco and Merchants Grocery have applied. Judy Burke, food services coordinator for both the Elementary School and High School, will make a recommendation to the Board on the proposals. The Board accepted with pleasure an offer made by the Elementary School’s Parent-Teacher Association for a discreet wooden sign to be placed on the school’s front lawn. The sign will read “Rappahannock Countv Elementary School.” Special meeting by Water and Sewage Authority —r— By STELLA RICHARDS Rappahannock Newi SUIT Writer The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) met in a special session November 25 to affirm the number of septic tanks they need to order. In a telephone interview with this newspaper, WSA member Carson Johnson said that of the approximately 150 tanks to be ordered, four will be commercial; about 18 to 20 will be B-l; 4 or 5 will be B-2; and the rest will be A-type. Mr. Johnson expects the order to be placed in a week to 10 days. The WSA also held discussions on the proposed Sperryville Sewage Ordinance. The ordinance must be approved by the time the Sperryville sewage project is completed, which is expected to be sometime next April. The WSA will meet again December 5, when they expect to finish discussions on the proposed ordinance. A draft of the ordinance will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors at a public hearing, probably sometime in January. oss wort THE 3RD A^NMUALx GLASS 5HOW So SALE^ DEC. 17 THIU) DEC. • 1*7 PAL locnttd ont mile West of Sfirn^vdii on Rt Zi 1 Our lowest prices on cur highest quality glassware happens only once a year— the week, before Christmas.

Follow signs Slaughter wants to protect Social Security Seventh District Congressman French Slaughter announced his support today for a new bill in Congress called the “Social Security Trust Fund Protection Act of 1985." This bill, H.R. 3688, arises out of the concern of many Congressmen, including Slaughter, about both the recent loss of interest in the Social Security trust funds and the extraordinary actions taken by the Treasury Department to pay Social Security benefits in October and November of this year. Joy of Craftsmenship TREENWARE Roger B. Sandstrom The Rush River Company Washington. Virginia Thursday - Sunday 10 to 6 675-3410 “The importance of keeping the Social Security program on a sound financial basis is critical to the best interests of Americans of all ages,” stated Slaughter. “The bill I am cosponsoring would not only reimburse the Social Security trust funds for the loss of short term and long term interest due to the recent disinvestment of trust fund assets caused by the congressional deadlock on the debt ceiling legislation, but also provide safeguards to ensure that the trust funds will be protected from any similar debt ceiling skirmishes." n The 'Spoon Cellar i J1 j miles West * >t W.ishiniiu vwdgewt H >d’s Peter Rabbit Cups& Bowls Spode's Christmas Tree china, candle sticks, plates, honey (jam) jars, and other items.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, December 12,1985 Editorial Gifts to give We know, of course, that it is better to give than to receive. This gives meaning to the spirit of Christmas. When we think about giving, it would be good to remember those who could really use something to brighten their holiday. Like food. Each year the people at the Rappahannock County Department of Social Services do their best to provide Christmas food baskets to needy families and to older people who often live alone. Fourteen foster children are also recipients of their kindness. The money and food allocated for these food baskets does not come from the state or the federal government. It comes from you. The food that goes into the Christmas baskets is not from the Bloomingdale’s gourmet department. It consists of basics — a turkey, some eggs, potatoes. If the department can afford it, there may be a sweet or two. Please be generous and give this agency a check, canned goods - or both. Gifts to buy As Christmas quickly approaches our thoughts now turn to buying gifts. This ancient custom is for some a wonderful act of joy. For others it is an act of drudgery. Shopping for Christmas gifts is what you choose to make it. It is true that many people just love to get in their car and drive for miles with a single goal. The Shopping Mall. • The ride to the mall can be alot of fun. At what other time of the year do we get the opportunity to see so many other cars on the road? And once we have arrived at our destination we get to see even more cars in the Parking Lot. Thousands of them. We then get our exercise as we proceed to the Main Entrance. There are wonderous rewards for this labor however — once inside we get to see all the people who were driving to the mall. Thousands of them. All of these people have a singular purpose, of course. To find the Perfect Gift. Watch their happy faces as, shoved and jostled, they frantically search for this gift. Once it is found, their expressions become priceless as they wait in the long line to pay the cashier. Then it’s off to the next store. There are alternatives, of course. One can have Shopped Early (it is now too late). Or one can make gifts (it may now be too late). The easiest and perhaps best solution is to Shop Rappahannock. We are fortunate to have a variety of fascinating stores within an easy c ^mmute. Many of the items for sale are intriguing and reasonably priced. , Where else can you find Shirley Temple’s “On The Good Ship Lollypop” songsheet for $2.50? Or a pair of handcrafted Amish candles for 99 cents? The people who own the shops can use the business. And their prosperity means more jobs for local citizens. All of us will profit if business is kept in the county. Rappahannock heritage - Snowy bam on Newbill Miller’s farm. Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner English school life in the West Midlands To the editor. I hope a few letters may keep Rappahannock readers informed on the lifestyles in England and give them a slight taste of “school life” miles away in Cradley Heath, England. I would like to thank all the groups and individuals who responded to the request for financial support. All the contributions helped to make my participation in the Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program possible. Teaching here in a school of approximately 900 students sounds like a big change from RCHS, but in actuality it is not. The school is divided into two separate schools about one mile apart. I teach students 11 and 12 years old in the “lower school” and students 13-15, sometimes even 16, years old in the “upper school.” The majority of the students do not go on to higher education and school is over for them at age 16. In both schools, my primary teaching concern is woodworking in the Craft-Design Technology Department. I teach six classes of woodworking besides technical drawing and metal work, like at RCHS. I am also teaching two new classes, remedial math and art class. I wish I could have sat in on some of Mr. Bomberger’s lessons. It sure would help me now. Though, overall classes are going well and I am adjusting to the new school and the new system. I am learning not only new teaching methods but a new culture, a new language and an awful lot of history. I would love to share all my experiences with those at home but it is hard to decide where to begin. After a lot of thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that just describing a typical day would be the best way to share an “English School.” My account starts in the faculty lounge and then to my homeroom. As I come into the “staff room” I am almost overcome by the welcoming words of the other teachers. “Morning.” “All Right?” (a greeting meaning, how are you?) Clean coffee mugs, fresh milk, and steaming hot water invite me to coffee. As I pour the cream off the top of the “glass milk bottle,” “I hear the “Deputy Head’s” (assistant principal) famous lines. “Morning colleagues. Announcements are rather brief today. Would you please stress in your “Form class” (homeroom) that any pupil (student) riding a “cycle” (bicycle) to school should have a permit. Also remind them of the safety regu lations. Just yesterday, Peter Vale’s cycle had no braking mechanism, not even a lever! And finally, please make sure all the pupils are in their proper uniforms. (Girls-blue dress, black shoes; boys-blue or black pants, tie and blue sweater.) As I leave the staff room, with a registration book twice the size of any book, 1 walk down the clean hall to find all my students outside the door of the class. “Good Morning, sir.” “May we go in, sir?” I reply yes and they all file in and stand behind their chairs waiting for me to say, “You may sit down.” After attendance has been taken the usual questions always pop up. “Sir, is America good?” “Sir, why did you come to Cradley Heath?” “Sir, do you like “WHAM”? “Sir, did you see the English bloke on the telly who lives in New York?” “Sir, is that close to where you live?” I have to smile at this question, reinforcing all the differences between the two countries and the two schools. Though in the end, when it comes right down to it, boys will be boys, or should I say “Lads will be lads.” SCOTT CURRIE 21 Sheriff Drive, Brierley Hill, West Objects to new building 1 o the editor: In questioning the wisdom of granting a Special Use Permit to Krebser, Martin Partnership to erect a 1,600 square foot office building on the lot where the Medical Clinic is located and Roger Batchelder rents another small building for his real estate office, I have several issues in mind. 1. The new building would increase the use of Gay Street and occasion more traffic. Recognition of this increased use is built into the Town Ordinance, requiring planned parking at the rate of 1 car for each new 100 square feet of building space. The total parking requirements for the planned and existing buildings on the lot, using the Ordinance’s ratio is probably 35 spaces. Can that many spaces be found on the area remaining after a new structure is erected? The Town Council needs to verify that. And if there is not sufficient space, should an objectively arrived at provision in the Town Ordinance for parking be changed to accommodate the wishes of one property owner? 2. Washington is growing, in part reflecting the growth of the county as a whole. The institutions and facilities located on Gay Street are even now attempting to accommodate that growth. Most people find that growth salutary. The question is what sort of planning can be done to meet the demands of expected growth? There is open land within the town where growth would not constitute a burden. On the other hand, denying Krebser/Martin Partnership the additional use of their land would in no way deprive them its current legitimate, profitable use. 3. One of the virtues of the town of Washington now is the extent to which it combines business, services and residences. In this respect some of Dr. Kreber’s enterprises, within the town, have significantly contributed to this wholesome combination. The proposed new office building, however, looks in the opposite direc tion. It will significantly detract from my house as a home and will probably assure the property’s commercial use when I no longer occupy it. In which case, crowding on the street will become worse. There are other issues, related to water, sewage, drainage, public safety and aesthetics that others might want to see addressed. Change occurs bit by bit. Accumulated changes disclose a pattern. Many'happy changes have come to Washington. Let’s not start a precedent with the proposed change for Gay Street, that will turn the town into a tacky parking lot, frustrating people with business in town, and making dangerous and unattractive situations for residents. I hope that the citizens of our town and county will find the time to attend the next coming council meeting to hear the discussion of these issues. BARBARA L. WOOD Washington.

'Rappahannock Country' Winter birds of a feather flock to the Souders By STELLA RICHARDS ■imhtiuiotk V»t Staff WnK-r Tucked in between a deciduous woodland and a steep evergreen bank, Doris and John Souder’s garden has become a haven for winter birds. “We’re not experts; we just love to watch the birds,” explains Doris, who has been watching and feeding them most of her life. The Souders’ interest in birds “just came naturally,” according to John. “It’s one of the country pleasures.” They moved into the county around eight years ago. “We came to see the animals, hear the winds — to enjoy all the things that nature provides,” John explains. “What is interesting about birds is their ability to survive under some pretty adverse conditions." John observes. Possibly because of the unusually warm weather, winter birds have not yet started coming in to the Souders’ feeders. The birds prefer the natural food they can find in the woods, such as dogwood berries. “They really aren’t welfare birds;” Doris comments, ‘they’re pretty independent.” So far, the Souders have observed nearly 100 varieties of birds in the area. The rarest of these was probably the Prothonatary Warbler, which they saw this September. John’s favorite recent ornithological experience was witnessing the courting dance of two wild turkies who alighted in the Souders' yard. “It was a rare treat to see the oldtime wild turkey," John said. "Most of them are mixed up with the domestic turkey. The wild one is slimmer, bronze — more majestic looking,” he noted. r Rappahannock Recipe Contest We want our reader* to discover your old (and not so old) original family recipes. Each week a new category will be announced. Recipes will be judged by the Rappahannock Sews staff on: 1. Obvious taste appeal. 2. Ease of preparation and availability of ingredients. 3. Uniqueness. 4. Clarity. A short statement may be submitted explaining the origination of the recipe. Each week a winner will be announced. The winner will receive a five dollar check from the Rappahannock Sews. Second and third prize winners will be so honored in the new spaper. Recipes must be typed or legibly printed and double-spaced. Ingredients should be listed in their order of use with measurements indicated. Recipes must reach the offices of the Rappahannock Sew* by 12 noon of the Thursday preceding publication. (In the event of an early publication deadline, the date will be clearly announced in advance). Any recipe entered may be published by the new spaper. If there is enough interest (we hope there will be!), a cookbook of Rappahannock Recipes may eventually be published. If this occurs all first prize winners will receive a complimentary copy.

The Souders have heard Hoot, Screech and Great Homed owls, but have not actually seen any here. When the weather gets colder and drives the birds in, the Souders’ three-to-four feeders will offer hospitality to a variety of species. “We get several kinds of peckers-Downeys, Red-Bellied, Hairy and Pileated; Cardinals; Chickadees; Purple Finches; Titmice; Grosbeaks; and Goldfinches, to name a few.” Goldfinches, the Souders note, are sort of a greenish-grey in the winter. They do not dress up in their gold and black plummage until the thistles start blooming in early summer. The Souders put sunflower seed in their feeders, along with suet. When they render the suet, which is beef fat, they mix in sunflower seeds, peanut butter, oatmeal, cornmeal or even raisin?. “You can put in most anything,” Doris advises.

The Cardinal is the Souders’ favorite bird. “It’s reliable, dependable — it’s always the last thing you hear in the evening,” John points out. Doris adds, “It doesn’t gorge itself like other birds; it’s dainty in its eating habits. The Starlings, for example, eat ravenously. The Cardinals have class.” A bird the Souders are not particularly fond of is the House Wren. “We have, of course, a lot of House Wrens,” Doiis sighs. “They’re so mean. As tiny as they are, they chase other binis out of their nests. They kilT Bluebirds and they’ve killed young Bam Swallows nesting on our front porch.” The only birds that take a stand against the House Wren are the Phoebes. “The Bluebird doesn’t have any fight at all in him. They’re so timid,” explains Doris. Another interesting trait of the Bluebird that Doris has noticed is that a sudden increase in their number signals a major storm within the next 24 hours. Perhaps the most uncanny experience the Souders have had with birds occurred several years ago, when they still lived in Arlington, across from an open field. One day, when Doris looked out the window she saw a flock of crows, settled in a semi-circle. In the center was another bird, of a fairly large size. “I think perhaps it was an owl,” Doris said. The crows then appeared to lecture this bird. The owl, or whatever it was, just sat without making a move. “I suppose it was terrified to death,” observed Doris. Eventually all the crows flew off, with the owl in their midst, the court session over. “They may have been lecturing the owl,” Doris hypothesizes. There is also a little Catbird the Souders love. They call it Miss Kitty — just as they do all Catbirds. “When I call to her,” Doris confides, “she will talk back and come a little closer. She’s really fun. We love Catbirds.” Right now the Souders are waiting for the robins to pass through on their annual migration. When they leave, the dogwoods will be stripped of their berries and winter will have arrived. “The old Battletoum Inn recipes are the epitome of tuhcu ‘Southern cooking was intended to be.

Shoppers need a list r In order to benefit from-sales when Christmas shopping, you have to plan ahead, said Elaine B. Scott, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in financial management. Begin with a list, she said. Write down all of the individuals for whom you are planning to purchase gifts. Then decide a money range (maximum and minimum amount) that is acceptable for each person. “Before you go any further, add up all the minimum amounts to be sure that the total is within your budget and that you have some left over for flexibility,” Scott said. Next to each person’s name and amourit, write down some presents that you feel are appropriate. Be sure that the item you consider is within the price range you have specified. Try to have two or three alternatives for each person. Now group the possible gift items into categories that will permit you to shop for similar items in the same store and to progress from one shop to the next without having f to backtrack. There are always some individuals for whom it is difficult to find the perfect gift. For them, consider a flexible gift such as a gift certificate. Christmas shopping should be planned just like shopping for everyday items. Then the shopper can enjoy the season, too.

Time and talents The spirit of Christmas does not have to focus on money. “If your gift list is growing longer, while your money is shrinking away, you need to take control,” said Ruth H. Lytton, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in family economics. “Although your material resources may be depleted, you can use your human resources for gifts,” said Lytton, who is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Human Resources. For example, do you have any special talent or skill which you could share with someone on your gift list? Give a gift of lessons on how to play a musical instrument, or a popular sport. Not only will you save yourself some money, but you will iave the pleasure of sharing something you have taken the time to earn. If teaching is not feasible, give a jift certificate of your skills. Offer to ill out a tax form, give a hair cut, or . ;une-up a car. Give a certificate, ligned by you, at the gift-giving ime. “Even if you don’t have any spe^ :ial talents to share, you can give rour time and energy,” said Lytton. lelping with everyday chores can »e a welcome eift.

Peace is a baby sleeping. Peace is a walk in God’s forests. Peace is gentle Love for one another. Great word. Peace! We see it in the newspapers, on T.V., in magazines beside horror pictures of war and carnage. But, Peace is not something outside ourselves. It is within. It is the quiet calmness of mind and soul, unperturbed, undismayed. But it is difficult to acquire this frume of mind, this elusive state of soul, this tranquil spirit. To achieve it we need guidance and help, und therefore we turn to our Church. Here, one sets problems in order, sees difficulties in perspective and consults with one’s Creator. Peace of heart is a two-way street — our way to God, and His way to us.

Uubs a way to manage holiday expenses tmnstmas is still around in summer for those individuals who are still paying off credit accounts from December. For those who would like to save enough for an expensive gift, or who are concerned about extra expenses for heat, travel or entertainment around the holidays, a Christmas Club could help with budgeting. Christmas clubs are special savings accounts into which a specific amount of money is deposited regularly until November, when a check for the total is sent to the depositor. Most banks, savings and loans and credit unions offer some type of club, but their terms may differ so shop around, said Elaine B. Scott, Virginia Teeh Extension specialist in It’s a girl!! Mr. and Mrs. John M. Deal and son, Johnathan of Hume are pleased to announce the birth of their daughter and sister, Jamie Michelle, bom on Wednesday, November 27, 1985, at Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Alther, Jr. of Washington and Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Deal of Peola Mills. Great grandparents are Mrs. Edgar Hawkins of Washington and Mrs. Jonas Alther of Sperry ville. family economics. Be sure to check the amount of interest paid on the account. The interest should be about equal to what is paid on a regular savings account. Also check to see what penalities or fees might apply. For example, is interest lost if regular payments are hot made into the account. In some institutions the regular amount paid into the club is set by the depositor. Some have coupon booklets and others will deduct an amount from the paycheck or from another account. This automatic system is easy, and does not require a trip to the financial institution. One caution Scott added was that most institutions will tefuse to allow the funds to be withdrawn before the November ending time. They may only allow a withdrawal in a severe emergency and may charge a fee to end the account. Something For Sale?

A snow shovel for $7.20 is sure to please, particularly if a promise goes along with it. One Christmas present that is sure to be remembered is the Kleenette broom sold at the Washington Cash Store for $5.95. Its thin width makes sweeping a pleasure and, although we haven’t tried it, it is probably an O.K. dancing partner if you are caught empty handed when your favorite song comes on. After you give your loved one a broom, you had better consider treating her (or him) to a gift of coffee and dessert at The Inn at Little Washington. The desserts are luscious, the espresso is superb, and the ambience is warm and inviting. For all this, the $15 to $20 tab (for two) makes a great gift that is also a bargain.

Mountains of goodies (Continued from Page 10) GIFTS UNDER $50 Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a wreath, symbol of wholeness and renewal. Some of the most beautiful wreaths are the handmade herb wreaths for sale at Faith Mountain. The prices start at $35. The wreaths, in rose, cranberry and blue, and are made of yarrow, straw flowers, wild herbs and nutmeg - to name just a few of the ingredients. Their scent is unforge table. Jewelry that also moves in circles can be found at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. The handforged jewelry, called “wave links”, starts at $22 for a pair of whirling sterling silver earrings. Unframed etchings and drawings by local artist Ray Heus can also be found at the Middle Street Gallery, starting at $35. Ray has mastered a liquid style in rendering outdoor scenes and moods where the human perspective is never forgotten. More stylized, albeit practical, art is available with the Jugtown pottery on display at the Mountain Railway Gallery. This shiny, glazed pottery that comes from the famous Jugtown, North Carolina potters ranges from $7.00 for mugs to $80 for large jugs. Hand-crafted spoons are particularly pleasing works of art - they delight both the tactile and visual senses. Sperryville artist Andrea Klopp sells her mahogany, purple heart and other hardwood spoons for under $40. Although her spoons are primarily works of art, they are oiled with a kind of mineral oil that is suitable for food use. Engaging spoons are also for sale at the Rush River Coop. A short, sturdy oak burl tasting spoon is for sale for $45. A heavy walnut burl scoop sells for $40. Other spoons are available for as little as $14. Stunning hand-split oak baskets are also for sale at Rush River for $8 to $45. These baskets become even more beautiful with age, turning into a creamy golden color. Rush River also sells hearth brooms for $20 to $24 that would make a great New Year’s present - sweep out the old, sweep in the new. Another delightful hand-crafted present is the quilted album cover for sale at Country Elegance for $39.95.

You might want some rhinestone jewelry to flash around in during the holidays. At Twice Remembered, an earring and necklace set is $25. Again, in the last but never least category, may we suggest a wheel of cheese? Prices will vary throughout the county depending on the variety and size, but a nice solid round of cheese should be under $50. Most of the local grocers, including the Serryville Corner Store, would probably be happy to oblige. There, a big wheel of aged New York cheddar can be found that is both sharp and tangy. They also sell crackers (Santa would love a plate of cheddar and crackers) but these belong in the under $5 category. GIFTS OVER $50 Once in a while, Santa listens hard to requests for presents that fall in the Very Expensive category. Just in case it is your turn to give or receive one this year, we have prepared a list so that you will be ready. You will definitely want to consider gift certificates for a weekend stay at one of the local guest houses. The Foster-Harris house and Mayes House (this one features Peter Kramer’s hand-made furniture) are two good possibilities. In Slate Mills the Conyers House offers a jumbo country breakfast to its guests. In the grand manner, there is The Inn At Little Washington where the ac comodations, like the cuisine, are sumptuous. Speaking of the Inn, dinner for two would be a very nice present indeed. $100 should do it (and if it costs less the money is refunded). This is the big splurge gift - and why not for yourself... it’s Christmas! Old hand-stiched quilts can be found for $375 at Chipmunk Hollow. They just have two so hurry - they are in beautiful condition. Know someone who likes their food zapped? The Rappahannock Farmers Coop has a Whirlpool microwave oven for $190. An unusual lapel pin awaits you at the Middle Street Gallery. Put in some water - fill it with wildflowers and you’re off. At $50-60 they are a bargain because they are studded with garnets or amethysts. $2900 will get you an original chest by Peter Kramer at Rush River. Painted with friendly scenes on its front and sides (there is a magical house in the woods complete with a shy, blonde young woman), the chest is exquisite. Go upstairs at Faith Mountain and you will see an English rocking horse. This handcarved masterpiece, which can accomodate a 250 pound person, is hand sculpted of unusual fruitwoods. To complete the realism, the mane and tail consist of horse hair and the wooden animal even has a leather saddle. $1600 will buy it. Although it is not the most expensive item on our ljst, it may be the most beautiful. At the Middle Street Gallery one may find a hand carved and painted wooden creche by artist Doug Ball. The creche costs $125 - that is inexpensive if it gives someone a lifetime of happiness. V * WINTER BEGINS DECEMBER 21st • • Joy of Craftsmenship I JUNE JORDAN The Rush River Company Washington, Virginia Thursday - Sunday 10 to 6 675-3410 Virginia Christmas trees — a growing business Christmas trees are big business in Virginia. A budding industry with over 500 Christmas tree farms across the Commonwealth, Virginiagrown Christmas tree sales topped well over $1.5 million 1. st year. Over 116,000 trees were sold throughout Virginia and to the East Coast states from Maryland to Florida. According to recent survey by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, white pine made up approximately twothirds of the tree sales last year, with the popular Fraser fir contributing one-fifth and Scotch pine, Virginia pine and Norway spruce making up the rest of the trees sold. The Christmas tree growing industry in Virginia has flourished in the past several years as evidenced by the current membership of 450 in the Virginia Christmas Tree Growers’ Association, an increase of 350 = members in the last eight years. -From the Shenandoah Valley down 'through Southwestern Virginia, the western part of the state is ideal for growing the trees because of the mountainous climate and suitable soil and terrain. “The Christmas tree industry is very compatible with Virginia agriculture,” states Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association President Louis Nichols, “because it utilizes marginally usable land, keeping it in a productive state.” The industry also manages to keep numerous people employed both full and part time in a part of the state not known for numerous job opportunities. The best way to get the freshest tree possible, says Nichols, is to cut your own. Dozens of cut-your-own farms are listed in the 1985 Virginia Christmas Tree Guide, available through the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. P.O. Box 1163, Richmond, VA 23209, sending a self-addressed, stamped business-size envelope. Some of the farms will even cut and load the tree for the customer or will furnish saws and twine. Virginia trees can also be purchased by mail, arriving fresh and unscathed within three days as far away as Florida. If trees are purchased already cut from a lot, advises Nichols, be sure and ask specifically for a Virginia-grown tree, which is more likely to be much fresher than an imported tree, many of which are cut as early as October or early November. Trees cut by consumers right on the farm, however, last much longer and can be cut as early as right after Thanksgiving, often lasting until after New Year’s.

Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner F.M. BAUMGARDNER ENJOYS WOODSTOVE on a cold Rappahannock day. Consider Piedmont region gifts By THERESA REYNOLDS Democrat Special Writer Blessed with abundance as well as beauty, Virginia’s Piedmont area has its own traditional products suitable for holiday giving. Some regional gift ideas are similar to those elsewhere in the South; some belong distinctly to the foothill, orchard and grazing communities that make up the area. A regional specialty makes a personal gift, showing love and understanding for our culture and a wish to share it with someone not fortunate enough to live here. Something we take for granted may w arm the heart of a cousin or friend who might find only hardware, software and synthetic music under his tree without our homey, low-tech contributions from the country. The young white oaks in our thickets and marshlands become baskets for eggs, apples and berries, just as they have since the foothills were settled. Baskets are made from the “splits” — the hand-cut saplings that are peeled and then split with a small axe. To fashion the classic egg basket, perhaps the most distinctive Virginia basket, the basketmaker starts with two sturdy splits, each made into a hoop and set perpendicular to each other — one becoming the rim and the other hoop becoming the handle and the bottom “seam.” Working from those two parts, the basket is tightly woven with the distinctive two-part bottom that really does keep eggs from rolling into each other and cracking. Those baskets are expensive and need some care in their selection. Look for the baskets with perfect splits, a handle that doesn’t slip at all and a tightly-woven bottom with a symmetrical, graceful shape. Many less sturdy and attractive baskets Don’t limit food gifts Gifts from the kitchen have a quality that says “from me to you." That quality cannot be bought. A wide variety of foods can be used as gifts, said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutrition Jo Anne Barton. Don’t limit gifts to holiday sweets. Give a whole meal, she suggested. Prepare a one-dish meal or a P 1 EASIER SPLITTING AT AN EASIER PRICE. The Didier B26A, with 10 tons of hydraulic force and slim-cut wedge, easily splits the toughest logs up to 26" long.

The authentic, locally-made model was intended for real use and stands up well. In fact, when the first fruit stands sprang up to dot the road toward Skyline Drive, tourists could purchase the handmade baskets with their bushel of apples, all for a nickel. Our rolling hills, with good air and soil ventilation, provide perfect conditions for grape and apple cultivation. Every year, gallons of wine and cider are made from Piedmont orchards and vineyards. When selecting cider, make sure it is locally pressed and ask the fruit stand owner if you can purchase it in quantity for a discount. Cider is a welcome gift for your friends in the city with small children. Those who have only had that watery imitation called apple juice will be pleasantly surprised. Nobody laughs any more when you say “Virginia wines.” Gaining respect from wine lovers as well as demanding wine critics are our local Piedmont wines. Pick the claret, chardonnay or champagne from local vineyards after making some comparative tasting trips. A byproduct of our orchards and vineyards is our sweet Piedmont honey. The bees are valuable to farmers here, where capricious frosts decide in an instant if fruit blossoms have had enough time to be pollinated or if they will never bear. Most local farmers bring on the bees in whatever numbers they can find, to even the odds in favor of quick and certain pollination. Thus, the service of the bees to a major local crop produces another — sweet, flavorful apple, peach and locust blossom honey. When picking honey for gifts, do main-dish casserole and give it. Include the recipe or a listing of the ingredients for those who may . have their diet restricted in one way or another. make sure it’s local and not just bottled with a local label. When buying honey in the comb, look for a clean, well-shaped comb. Don’t be surprised if the honey looks a little darker than that you see in stores — it’s a mixed honey and very flavorful. You might find sorghum and local apple butter where you find honey. Both make good gifts. Sorghum is a grain, not a sugar product, grown from a very peculiar plant that looks like midget com, and boiled out locally by dozens of ingenious family contraptions, some using mules running in circles. Apple butter, of course, needs no introduction, but if the fruit stand can’t tell you where or how it was made, don’t bother buying it. If you wish to give a country ham for Christmas, try to find one that was salted and smoked last year by a local farmer. There are fine commercial country hams, but nothing can compare to the ham raised “by hand” on leftovers from the garden and orchard as well as grain. Some farmers still have smokehouses and will hang their hams :¥hfeVe*'for the winter after salting them hea?Byto prevent spoilage. A good place to start to track down a real ham is in your general store, where the storekeeper may be selling a home-cured ham by the slice and will know the farmer who raised it. It’s not cold enough yet to hang meat, so the ham you find will be last year’s — that’s fine. Once you find a ham, you may be surprised at the price. Depending on size, the ham may cost $20 to $40. But remember that the ham represents about a quarter of what the farmer can expect to get from the sale of an animal that took the better part of a year to raise — an animal that needed literally hundreds of gallons of water to be comfortable in the summer, that was a very hardto-handle several hundred-pounder by late fall. The Piedmont farmer simply cannot hope to compete with the MidWestern or Tidewater pork farmer with a mechanized large scale feed Rushing Around .For /Gifts?

They include cordless rechargeable appliances, such as mixers and electric knives, he says. “New headset radios promise to be among the hottest electronic stocking stuffers of the year,” says William G. Smith, general manager of General Electric’s consumer electronics product department. He says some have an FM tuner built in, ot, but the taste of the local hams I *rill surprise you. Unlike the Smith- I field hogs, fed totally on peanuts, or I :he pigs of Westphalia, whose diet is oeets, the Piedmont pig has a varied liet — much of it corn, but lots of it bolted cabbage, overgrown squash, peaches, apples and lettuce leaves. This most efficient of animals turns garden residue into a firm meat that many fans believe is better and more flavorful than its ritzier, peanut-fed cousin. After finding a ham, you will discover that it’s big enough to feed 20 to 30 people, perhaps too large for anyone on your list. You can solve the problem by cooking the ham yourself, dividing it into two or more portions, and delivering it in person. If the recipient is unfamiliar with country ham, you should include instructions that it’s to be cut paperthin and served along with, never as, the main course (it’s too salty), that it will keep in a cool dark place without refrigeration, and that it’s great in ham biscuits (never called “ham and biscuits” as recent articles describing meals for visiting royalty mistakenly labeled that old Virginia specialty). eliminating the need for wires and tuner pack of conventional personal stereo systems.

A stuffed dog can serve as a good lead-in for real dog ownership, adds Siegal, a consultant to Tonka Toys for Pound Puppies, soft-sculptured stuffed dogs. The Pets Are Wonderful Council, a national, not-for-profit, public service organization, suggests giving a gift certificate for a puppy or kitten, to be redeemed after the hectic holidays. “It’s important that family members have time to spend with a pet and properly introduce it to its new environment,” the Council advises. “Age 6 tends to be the time when kids are most receptive to participating in the care of a dog,” he says. ■ ■=mi p irmra ■ raim $ Lumber Millwork - Hardware oompieie une-oiep BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton _347-1400_ —Appreciation Brunch An appreciation brunch was held for both members of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and the Community Service Volunteer Program (CSVP) at the Amissville United Methodist Church during November.

Sudden drops in temperature to 50 degrees Fahrenheit or below are likely to cause the leaves to wilt and the bracts (the showy red, white or pink leaves) to drop. Correct watering is essential. The plant will not stand over or underwatering. “When the soil appears light in color or feels dry when toucnecl, ft 9 should be watered thoroughly,” said Smeal, a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. If the pot is wrapped with decorative metal or plastic foil which covers the bottom of the pot, punch a hole in the bottom to allow excess water to drain away. If excess water does not drain away it will drive the air from the soil which causes the roots to die from lack of oxygen. Check the plant daily. Display the poinsettia where it will receive the most sunlight. A window that faces south, east, or west is more desirable than one facing north. “Many home gardeners will try to keep the poinsettia and have it bloom again,” said Smeal. Approximately one month to six weeks after the main poinsetta-selling season, the leaves will fall and it will go into its dormant period. Those home gardeners who want to keep the plant should gradually reduce the amount of water until it gets only enough to keep the stem from shriveling. Place it in a cool location, where the temperature is about 40 to 45 degress Fahrenheit. In April cut the stems back to four to six inches above the soil and repot the plant in a soil mixture of equal parts of sand, peat moss and garden soil. In the spring, after the last frost, place the plants in the soil outdoors. Rotate each pot occasionally to break off the roots growing through the drainage hole. Care for them as other plants. To get a low-branching plant for the following Christmas, prune back the stems to within four to six inches from the ground about July 1. Allow new shoots to develop and as six to 5 seven leaves form on these shoots, prune or pinch back the tips of the s shoots, leaving four true leaves on each branch. To get flowers by Christmas, do not pinch after September 1. Before frost, or when night temperatures drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the plant should be brought indoors to a well-lighted I window. Poinsettias form flowers when nights are long. Poinsettias will not bloom if they are in a room where electric lights are used at night during the period when the flower buds are being formed. From October 1 to November 15, the plant should receive eight hours of light a day. Place it in a dark room at 5 p.m. and bring it back into sunlight at 8 a.m. If a dark room is not available, cover the plant with a cardboard box or other material that will keep out the light. ^ treatment may be to by be 00 00 00 30* J MANUFACTURER'S COUPON/EXPIRATION DATE 00/00/00 ^30* Save 3 0* on Pepsi or Diet Pepsi Good on any 2 Liter, or any Multi-Pack of Pepsi or Diet Pepsi diet pepsi TO THE RETAILER io recede payment send ins coupon io Papsi Gala Company PO Bo» 17/6 Clinton lowab?734 for each coupon ypu accept as our authorized aoeni m accordance with the terms ot this coupon otter me wiM pay you 00* plus 9« handling this coupon may only oe redeemed hy you upon the Custoner s purchase ol the product and package indicated and the lace value ot this coupon is to Dp deducted from your tetad sellinQ puce fonotces proving purchase 60 days prior lo suOmi ssron ol sulticienl slock to cover coupons prpsenied must Oe shown upon request Cash value I ?0 ot 1C Consumer must pay any sales t<& »Kt or deposit charge Otter votd where prohrDrted restricted taied or license required Coupon may not Oe assigned tiansterrefl ot re produced Otter limited io one. coupon per purchase Any other use 30*1 Pepsi, Pepsi EXP. 12-31-85 -Cola, Diet Pepsi, and The Choice of a New Generation are registered trademarks of PepsiCo, Inc.

In the first game, the Junior Varsity fell to Randolph-Macon Academy of Front Royal in a closely played and hard-fought game. Coach Gary Leake, although disappointed with the loss, was pleased with the team’s overall performance. The Wakefield players outscored the opposing team from the field but could not seem to connect on the foul shots. Randolph-Macon meanwhile missed only three foul shots during the game. Three players: Carey Maar, of Front Royal, with 11 points; Jerry McDowell, of Warrenton, with 9 points; and Michael King, of Midland, with 7 points accounted for all but 5 of the team’s 32 points as the Junior Varsity lost 36-32. Leake commented, “We played exceptionally well. I think we will have a rewarding season.” The Varsity team traveled to Highland View Academy in Hagerstown, Maryland. Leake, commenting on the 54-43 loss said, “I thik we lost because it was an opening game Upcoming events at R.C.H.S.

The Wakefield team was leading Sie half but seemed to lose mo;um as the game wore on. The ng scorers were David Rowzie, of Amissville, Larry Tarr, of Warrenton, and Brian McGushin, of Haymarket, with 14, 9 and 9 points respectively. Coach Leake commented after the game that he felt the Wakefield team would have better results when they played Highland View at home. In the last game of the opening week, the Varsity team faced Randolph-Macon at home and lost 36-31. It was a battle of the defenses in this low-scoring game.

Physical education is key to health of our children By JOHN KASSEL Arundel Newspaper Contributing Writer According to an article in Health Action, a magazine put out by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, American children may be fatter and less fit than ever before. The article asks, “Are schools working as hard to develop a child’s body as his mind?” One of every six children in the United States is s%weak, uncoordinated, or generally inept that he or she is physically underdeveloped by the standards of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. In a study by Dr. Thomas Gilliam, while he was teaching at the University of Michigan, 62 percent of a group of active children had one risk factor for heart disease — high blood pressure, high cholesterol or too much weight. Thirty-six percent had two or more factors. Unless the underdeveloped child is identified and helped, he or she cannot function effectively either in society at large or in the physical activities and games that are an important part of growing up. A good physical education program should promote mental, physical and social development through a varied program of activites which develop competency in motor skills and efficiency of movement. According to the President’s Council of Physical Fitness and Sports, it should educate young people about the essential nature of physical activity and its relationship to good health. It should produce physically fit youth, and give them the skills knowledge, and motivation to stay fit. As a part of the total school program, physical education should provide movement oriented experiences which will help a child reach his or her fullest potential.. However, there are those, both inside and outside of a school system, who confuse athletic contests for a few select athletes with physical education for all. A quality physical education program (K-12) will benefit a high school athletic program in the long run, but a high school’s success on the athletic field does not necessarily , guarantee a good physical education program. The physical education program should be designed to provide the student with skills basic to the individual, whether he or she is interested in competitive sports or not. The most ■ i ni ’• • - j >< ct of any physical educstor-should be the developing ’ ■ an awareness that one's physic;-; ...i i: mental health improves as the • - 1 of fitness improves. Not all y-M-il physical education programs are exactly alike, but they all tend to ha- stain features in common.

Library Lines By GRACE S' "> LIBRARIAN New in the library this month is Common Ground: A Turbulent Decade in the Lives of Three American Families. Author Anthony Lukas recently won the American Rook Award in the non-fiction category for this book about the Boston busing crisis in the decade following the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy. The literary-documentary study has received high praise from John and Linda Kiser and Rose Ann Sharp of our county as well as from Robert Coles aild Jonathan Yardley writing for the Washington Post. Another important work is Ted Morgan’s FDR, the biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Morgan combines the latest scholarship with historical and psychological insight to give readers, in the words of the publisher “a brilliant interpretation of the President, the man, and the period.” Eugenia Price, author of bestselling historical novels including the St. Simons Island trilogy has just published To See Your Face Again, sequel to Savannah. The story begins in antebellum Savannah with Natalie Browning now a beautiful strong-willed sixteen year old, and continues the saga of the Browning, Mackay, and Stiles families. In The Fourth Deadly Sin (anger?) retired Chief of Detectives Edward X. Delaney is called on once again to solve a brutal crime when eminent New York psychiatrist Simon Ellerbee is found with his head bashed in. The doctor’s gorgeous psychologist wife and six potentially-violent patients add to the interest and suspense of this fastpaced novel. Sewer (Continued from Page 1) There was also discussion during the meeting of where to dispose of the sludge that will collect in the sewer system. The Authority agreed to contact Environmental Systems Service (ESS) of Culpeper to consider the matter. WSA also agreed to advertise for a part-time plant operator, who might begin work as early as January. It was felt that ESS might be able to provide someone on a temporary ba^is to start up the system.

Mrs. Wood said,“Always cars are overflowing in the parking lot — if that building takes up spaces, where are they going to go?” Dr. Krebser retorted, “You are parking on the street.” . * Mrs. Wood replied, “I am not a business.” During the meeting Mr. Miller recalled that in an earlier time people fought in the town of Washington and then it quieted] dowrn. “We fight about everything again,” he said. “There are rights of people involved here,” replied the mayor. Gallery (Continued from Page 1) a mushroom color, has a sectionalized maroon ceiling painted with fleur-de-lis pattern. During one stage of construction the ceiling, which was painted by Ed Foster, Jr. of Flint Hill, was a “puzzle of pieces.” Extensive track lighting has been used to highlight the art. Recalling the construction, Mrs. Krebser s.-.id that the building had to be “completely gutted — it was sinking and we had to jack it up with steel beams.” She adds that mo9t of it was done by people from Rappahannock County including Hubert and Bert Gilkey of Chester Gap. Dr. Krebser designed the gallery's interior. In a community that already includes other fine galleries and craftspeople, La Galerie des Beaux-Arts is an exciting and important addition.

Studies show that strong families have certain rituals or traditions which assist them in maintaining the family group, said Paula W. Dail, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in human development. Traditions and rituals present a picture of predictability and expectation for the family members. - Because there are distances between the members in many families today, it is important to consider ways to maintain the traditions and rituals and pass them along to each succeeding generation, Dail said. Here are some suggestions: Engage in storytelling. Both children and adults like to listen to stories. When older family members are encouraged, they are often willing participants in this activity. It allows the older members to reminisce, which is an important activity for older adults and passes along the important traditions to the younger generation. And everyone has many pleasant memories of storytelling time. Keep written records. This activity can take many forms. If all family members are committed to maintaining the family history, then they can be reminded to keep all letters that members write to one another.

Oral records can be kept on tape. Keep pictures. These can be family photographs, but new photos of important events which affected the family personally also can be valuable. An event such as the end of a war in which many family members were a part, is important in that family’s traditions. The pictures can be preserved in scrapbooks.
