Hobson III, of Trinity Episcopal Church, says, “he’s a man I have admired for a long time.” He pauses to explain that “he gets the job done because he quietly does it.” “He was a fine law enforcement officer,” says Virginia State Trooper Rufus Baines, “and he is a gentleman.” This year, the Rappahannock News in continuing its tradition of honoring a person who serves the citizens of Rappahannock County beyond the call of duty, is extremely proud to name W.A. Buntin as our Citizen of the Year for 1985. Mr. Buntin served this county as its sheriff for two consecutive terms beginning in 1975. He won both elections in landslide victories. Before beginning his duties as Sheriff, he was a officer of the Virginia State Police for 29 years; all of his.years in that capacity were spent in service to this county. Mr. Buntin, who is a native of Halifax County, was raised on a tobacco farm and graduated from Halifax County High School. He latter served nearly four years in the United States Army as a military policeman. Mr. Buntin, together with his wife Elizabeth, have lived in Rappahannock since 1946. Their daughter, Nancy, is an art teacher in Bath County. As a sheriff he was extaordinarily capable. “He brought the sheriffs department up to the stature where it looked like a sheriffs department,” explains Sheriff Woodward. “He got us a county sheriffs car — opinion.” “I still call him The Chief,” says The Reverend Hobson, “he is part of the life of the Church — it is special to have him.” State Trooper Baines explains that he has known Mr. Buntin for 15 years. “He is a good outstanding person,” he says. Mr. Buntin officially retired two years ago but that has not stopped Citizen of the Year ‘Even after retiring he still helps me out by being court bailiff’ —Sheriff John Henry Woodward before that we used personal cars,” says the Sheriff to cite an example. “He has always been well liked,” says Sheriff Woodward, “and I really enjoyed working with him.” Mr. Buntin’s style of working was as important as the substance of his work. “He does it with an obvious concern for folks,” says the Reverend Hobson. “His re-election showed that people share in that him from working to help the citizens of Rappahannock County. “Even after retiring he still helps me out by being court bailiff,” explains Sheriff Woodard. Mr. Bun tin is a kind, honorable gentleman who always seems to have something nice to say. His wonderful smile — his warmth and genuine concern for people makes him truly Citizen of the Year. WILLIAM A. BUNTIN Rapp ups Mrs. Clatterbuck will talk Representative D. French Slaughter, Jr. will send his District Representative Jane Clatterbuck to Rappahannock County on Wednesday, January 8,1986. Mrs. Clatterbuck will be available to talk with constituents who have problems of a Federal nature, such as with the Social Security Administration, Department of Labor, Immigration and Naturalization Service, IRS, Office of Personnel Management, Veterans Administration, etc., with which they need assistance, or who wish to express their opinions on national legislative issues, or simply to discuss matters of concern. She will be at the Courthouse from 10:30 to 11:30 a. m. Social Security number People in Rappahannock area who plan to apply for a Social Security number should remember to apply at least two weeks before they will need the number, Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said recently. It takes this time to process the application, evaluate the evidence, search the files at Social Security headquarters, and to issue and mail the Social Security number card. When applying, a person must have evidence of age, identity, and citizenship or legal alien status, Hundley said. In addition, a person 18 or over applying for the first time must apply in person. The best evidence of age and citizenship is a public record of birth issued before age 5. If this is not available, religious records established before age 5 may be considered. Other evidence may be submitted only if these are not available. Evidence of identity can be any document establishing identification data such as a physical description, photograph, or signature. Examples include driver’s license, voter registration, school record, report card, marriage record, military ID, building pass, clinic or organization membership card. People applying for a duplicate card to replace one lost must show evidence of their identity. Also a person who wants to change his/her name in Social Security records must provide evidence of identity under both the old and new names. Only original documents or copies certified by the issuing agency are acceptable. For more information about applying for a Social Security number, contact the Culpeper Social Security office located at 806 N. Main Street. The telephone number is (703)825-3500. A free leaflet, “Applying for a Social Security Number,” is available at the office. Heifer slaughtered — meat not safe A registered Angus heifer weighing about 700 pounds owned by Ray T. Cannon was slaughtered in mid-December in a field on his farm about two miles north of Boston on the east side of Rt. 615. Whoever took the beef does not know that all of the cattle were recently vaccinated for ten different diseases and treated for lice and grub, which makes the meat hazardous to human health if eaten within 60 days after vaccination and treatment. Mr. Cannon is offering a $100 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of person or persons who are responsible for this act. You may contact the Rappahannock County Sheriff Department at 987-8787 or Ray T. Cannon at 937-4900 if you have any information. Atkins named Beverly Atkins has been appointed interim Commissioner of Revenue for Rappahannock County. She replaces Merle Scoggin and will serve in this position until November 1986 when a special election will be held. appy New Year! Keeping Rappahannock rural tops the 10 biggest stories of 1985 By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer At this time each year we, at the Rappahannock News, decide the top ten stories of the past year. The decision process, admittedly subjective, is a difficult one. Many important events have happened in the county during the past twelve months affecting the lives of all our citizens. Narrowing the choice to just ten stories is not the simplest of jobs. The choice of deciding the most important story of the year was, however, relatively easy. This story affects the citizens of Rappahannock County in many areas and its impact is enormous. Number 1 — New zoning ordinance for the county Last October nearly 100 persons met at the Rappahannock County Elementary School auditorium to address the possibility of a new zoning ordinance for Rappahannock. Expressing fears that the county could face the intense growth pressures and population concentrations currently plaguing Loudoun, Fauquier, and Prince William counties, nearly all of the 30 speakers supported the idea of passing a zoning ordinance. That evening the biggest round of applause went to speaker John Marshall Clark, Jr. who strongly supported the idea. Mr. Clark said that he saw Prince William and Fauquier counties lose their rural identities. He said that he believed Rappahannock is a rural, agricultural county. “I see this ordinance as a tool to help preserve that,” he stated. Mr. Clark also said that he, like most people, does not wish to be told what to do with his property. He added, however, “I would be willing to give up a few splinters to save my woodpile.” Washington attorney Frank Reynolds said that the ordinance can be viewed in two lights; as a “restriction on your own” land and a? “protection against an encroaching neighbor.” The way the ordinance was written brought some disapproving remarks however. Bob Eastham believes it is too restictive and claimed it is a close duplication of that in Fauquier County. Supervisor Nelson Lane said, “I don’t think this ordinance even pretends to stop development.” Perhaps attorney David Konick expressed the views of most citizens when he thanked the Planning Commission for writing an ordinance to “protect Rappahannock County. ” Number 2 — Tax increase The Board of Supervisors last June approved a 58c tax levy for the 1985-86 fiscal season. The increase, which had drawn concern from area taxpayers, was enacted after the Board was forced to slash nearly $110,000 in contemplated expenditures. The increase prompted much debate about the nature of taxation in the county. Taxing real estate, many — ‘I would be willing to give up a few splinters to save my woodpile’ believe, is not in the best interest of the citizens. Newbill Miller urged the supervisors “to get control of real estate taxes.” James Williams, of the Wakefield district, agreed saying “taxes have doubled over the past three years” and said he could not afford the increase. He argued that the Board of Supervisors must consider alternative means of taxation such as attracting small industry to come to the county and getting a supermarket here. The way the county is spending its money also generated much discussion particularly regarding eduI- I dollars. Many have been concerned that physical improvements to the schools should not take priority over teacher salary increases. Number 3 — Historic ticket supported by the county Rappahannock citizens overwhelmingly endorsed the historic Democratic ticket in the November election. Citizens voted to elect Democrat Gerald L. Baliles over Republican Wyatt B. Durette with a vote count of 930 to 743 respectively. In the race for Lieutenant Governor, Democrat L. Douglas Wilder defeated Republican John Chichester 845 to 806. Democrat May Sue Terry handily defeated Republican W.R. (“Buster") O’Brien in the race for Attorney General with a vote of 1,011 to 649. Number 4 — Drought hits county Signs of trouble began in April. On the 27th of that month the rainfall was 1.04 inches according to local weather observer Dennis Wingfield. The figures for 1984 and 1983 at the same time were 5.17 and 9.3 inches respectively. It was also in April when a late freeze hit, followed with unseasonably warm weather. At the time Extension Agent Birgitt Thornhill said, “It might be worse this year — the heat is hitting earlier. ” Indeed it got worse. The drought severly impacted the local peach production to the point where Thomas Lee of Washington said “I don’t think anybody dead or alive has seen this. There’s never been anything like it. It’s just a failure." Apple production, while less se Rappahannock News ptioto/Greg Turner EUGENE McCarthy READS at RAAC Christmas celebration on December 21. verely impacted, was also affected producing spotted fruit and a somewhat lower yield than normal. Number 5 — Halls sue county for $250,000 Ivan and Hazel Hall, with legal councel from David Konick, filed a lawsuit against the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals, the Board of Supervisors and Oscar and Stella Lozano of Culpeper for $250,000 plus attorney’s fees. The 5-part suit is a response to the April 24 BZA decision granting a special use permit to the Sperryville Assembly of God Church to erect a new church and parsonage on land adjacent to the Hall’s property. The Halls have argued that the special use permit was improperly granted for land that was unlawfully subdivided. The county responded by filing demurrers (a pleading which denies (Continued on Page 10) New.

Sparkling New Year’s festivities —- a guide for celebration By STELLA DEAN RICHARDS Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer It is a poignant time of year, New Year’s eve. First there is the hard part of reviewing the proceeding twelve months. What happened? What changed? What has been learned about oneself? Then there is the easy part, making those infamous New Year’s resolutions. How many will put diet and excercise at the top of their lists? Or perhaps this year you will consider something a little wild, like joining a Rung Fu class or becoming a belly dancer. Why not? New Year’s eve is a time for ceremony, whether a special prayer before bed or dancing all night with a loved one. Like Christmas, it is a time for celebrating new birth. Whatever you do — do it with spirit. It is a wonderful time for merriment and revelry. Periscope Jazz Trio will be playing this year at the Leathercoat in The Plains. The Trio’s upbeat instrumentals are great for dancing, as anyone who was ht the Rappahannock Association for the Ails and Community’s New Year’s dance last year can testify. The band will play from 9 p.m. to 1 a.ml with Old Lange Syne almost a certainty at midnight. A sample menu for Leathercoat’s new year’s eve dinner includes Pine Island oysters on the half shell; puff pastry filled with boneless quail; sauteed medallions of venison loin; and dessert. Funny hats and noisemakers will be provided at the magic hour. Dinner is about $65 per person. Another elegant choice is L’Auberge Provencal, in White Post. The four course dinner Tuesday night will be lobster mousseline: roast pheasant; a cheese and fruit platter; and a French holiday cake known as bouchftde Noel.

Supervisors halt animal shelter at Scrabble site By STELLA DEAN RICHARDS < Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer , The courtroom was packed December 18 for the joint public hear- j ing held by the Rappahannock , County Board of Supervisors and , the Rappahannock County Planning , Commission. Consideration of , whether the proposed location of the \ Rappahannock animal shelter at the : old Scrabble school was substan- , tially in accord with the 1980 Rappahannock County Comprehensive ] Plan was on the agenda for the evening, but within the first five min- ' utes the Board of Supervisors voted to halt all construction activities at the Scrabble site. , After additional discussion, the , Board also approved a motion sub- , mitted by Board member Nelson ■ Lane to withdraw its application for a building permit at the old Scrabble school. The Board agreed to hold another public hearing before construction begins — or resumes — on ( the proposed animal shelter. Board chairman Hubert Gilkey was careful^ to add “it wasn’t said , that we wouldn’t use the Scrabble , site.” In response to a question by Pat Saltonstall, Mr. Gilkey said that around $4,000 to $4,400 in public money had already been spent clearing land and laying footings at the Scrabble school. “In the present Zoning Ordinance there is no place that allows for any animal shelter in any district,” said Mr. Gilkey. Under the new Zoning Ordinance, an animal shelter may be built in an agricultural zone as a “special exception.” The Planning Commission recommended that the Board pass the new Zoning Ordinance, instead of amending the 1973 Zoning Ordinance to allow non-commercial kennels and animal shelters in agricultural districts as a use permitted by right. Application of the “special exception” clause would require a public hearing, whereas amending the current ordinance to permit a use by right would not. If you make it a use by right, you’re cutting off the opportunity for a public input,” said Washington attorney David Konick. “If you make it a use by right, all the Board of Supervisors has to do is waltz into the Zoning Office and get a permit.” A site selection for the animal shelter is expected to be made by the Board-by the end of 1985. Once v the decision has been made, the Board will caft for discussion of that. decision in a public meeting. The Board does not anticipate that a public hearing will be held before its next regular meeting, on January 6th. The Board is currently being sued by the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies, Inc. for failing to comply with Virginia law requiring each county to make suitable arrangements for establishment or use of an animal shelter. County residents Pat Saltonstall and Teddie Hannon are co-petitioners in the suit. Mr. Konick said that construction of an animal shelter at the Scrabble site would violate Objective 7C of the 1980 Rappahannock County Comprehensive Plan. That objective states that public facilities should be located near the county’s villages to “prevent scattered independent developments from occuring in low density areas. ” Planning Commission chairman Newbill Miller replied, “I don’t think a settled area, a populated area, is more suitable than a rural area for a shelter. I don’t see where it is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.” Commission member Werner Krebser agreed, saying “Animal shelters ought to be out in an agri rultural zone where there are not nany people.” County resident Bob Poole suggested the Board follow the example >f the Rappahannock Hunt in its learch for a suitable place for the ihelter. Apparently, Nelson Lane uid Bill Fletcher made a long, painsaking effort to find a good location ‘or the Hunt’s dogs, but an appropriite site was eventually found. Mr. Poole added, “Nothing I’ve leard tonight relieves my fears. I ust hope you take a great deal of are in making your decision. ” Another county resident, Frank Varner, also opposed the Scrabble ihelter. Among the reasons that he :ited for building the shelter at an>ther location was sentimentality for ;he old Scrabble school, of which he s an alumnus. “For some of us who attended Scrabble school,” Mr. Warner said, “we feel there would be a terrible lisconnect in our heart.” Mr. IVamer expressed his concern that lomebody would have to tell Rever;nd Lomax — a respected teacher at ;hat school — that the school “had gone to the dogs.” Mr. Warner also stated “If the people don’t want this thing, don’t do it. You’ll have people saying bad things about you. My suggestion is — find out what the people want.” Mr. Warner pointed to a number of Scrabble residents in the room who have taken in stray dogs. “I am not saying that you don’t need a shelter,” he said, “just that you don’t need one in Scrabble.” Phil Irwin, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, said the League’s members had met and decided the Board’s plan to amend the ordinance was wrong. “Any attempt to make the location of the animal shelter a matter of right is wrong,” Mr. Irwin said. Vince Hannon, president of the Rappahannock Humane Society, expressed his concern about erecting a shelter without public support. “The animals are suffering,” he said, “and I am worried that building a shelter without public support will delay construction.” Mrs. Saltonstall suggested that any one of the county’s 39 kennels might be a site for the proposed animal shelter. “Most of these kennels have over 20 dogs,” she said.

Planning Commission says no to used car lot By STELLA DEAN RICHARDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Planning Commission voted to recommend to the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals that Dwight and Charles Frye’s application for a special use permit for a small used car lot on Route 211 near the Hillsdale Grocery be denied. The decision followed public discussion of the proposal during the Commission’s joint meeting with the Board of Supervisors December 18. Commission member Werner Krebser, who moved that the recommendation be denied, said, “We made it clear when we reviewed the new Zoning Ordinance that we would not grant additional commercial development next to commercial areas.” Dr. Krebser said the Fryes’ proposal would be in conflict with the county’s Comprehensive Plan. This plan recommends that commercial activity be located near a village center or in an industrial area. He also argued that this kind of business was not in keeping with the surrounding area and that a decision otherwise by the Commission would represent “spot zoning.” Senator Miller to hold public meeting State Senator Kevin Miller will be holding a public meeting in Rappahannock County prior to the 1986 Session of the Virginia General Assembly to provide an opportunity for individuals to express their views relative to the following legislation which will be considered during the session. — Mandatory use of Vehicle Safety Belts. — Public School Starting Date — no earlier than the first Tuesday following Labor Day. — State Lottery Provision. — Gasoline Tax Increase— 1 cent per gallon. — State Water Plan Advisory Committee Proposed Legislation. a. Permit required for use of surface and ground water in excess of threshold amount (300,000 gallons per month). b. Exemption for crop irrigation rescinded. c. Exemption for agricultural and municipal use of ground water in excess of 10,000 gallons per day rescinded. d. Establishment of minimum standards for well construction. e. E xpanskm of power of eminent domain. — Any other issues Attendess may wish to address. Since the 1986 Session of the General Assembly will convene on January 8, 1986, this will be the last meeting to be held by Senator Miller in Rappahannock County prior to the 1986 Session. The meeting will be held at the Rappahannock County Courthouse in Washington on Saturday, January 4th. from 9:00-10:00 a.m. Emergency Technician Ken Pullen will instruct Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) classes at the Flint Hill fire station on Mondays and Tuesdays beginning in January. Classes will be held at 7 p.m. The EMT classes lead to certification; after completing the classes, a test is required to be certified by the Virginia Department of Health. Classes scheduled are January 6 — Introduction to Emergency Care - Legal Aspects. January 9 — Anatomy and Physiology - Terminology. January 13 — Airway Obstruction and Respiratory Arrest. Janaury 16 — Cardiac Arrest. January 23 — Practical Use of Airway Adjuncts. January 27 — Patient Assessment. January 30 — Bleeding and Shock. February 3 — Test and Evaluation - Review. February 6 — Introduction and Practical Use of MAST. February 10 — Soft Tissues Injuries. February 13 — Principles of Musculoskeletal Care and Fractures. February 17 — Principles of Musculoskeletal Care and Fractures. uunng open discussion of the Fryes’ proposed car lot, local resident Pat Saltonstall said, “I assume that if this special use permit is granted, anyone up and down 211 can come to you to get the same thing.” Marion Kuhn, whose property adjoins the Frye lot, described Route 211 as “our corridor into the county.” She noted that a special use permit would also give the Fryes the right to erect a building and sign without returning to the BZA for further approval. Mrs. Kuhn also pointed out that the car lot would not help the local economy to any extent “since Mr. Frye himself stated that he would take the cars out of the county to do repairs.” In another matter, the Commission moved to deny William and Elizabeth Faulconer’s request for an exception from a subdivision requirement for their house and surrounding acreage in Chester Gap. The requirement was for a 50 foot right-of-way built to State specifications, as specified by the county’s Zoning Ordinance. On another matter, the Commission recommended that a special use permit be granted to Jim Oyster to park a mobile home temporarily on his property for housing while he builds a permanent dwelling in which to live. The Commission emphasized that as soon as an occupancy permit is issued for the new house, that the special use permit will be invalidated. The Commission moved that Jim and Betty Settle’s request for a variance from sideyard regulations be sent to the BZA without recommendation. “They went ahead and built it without a building permit,” said Commission chairman Newbill Miller. “A semi-judicial judgment must be made. The BZA in a way sit as judges and they will decide whether the building has to be taken down or not. They have a precedent.”, said Mr. Miller. William Remington’s request for a special use permit to construct a single family dwelling on a 56.8 acre parcel that already has an existing tenent house was approved by the Commission. The property is located at the intersection of Routes 628 and 659 in the Wakefield District. At the end of the meeting, the Commission heard from Bill Strider, who works with the State’s Planning District Nine — of which Rappahan nock County is a part. The Commis sion is in the process of reviewing the county’s current Comprehensive Plan, as it is required to do period! cally under state law. Consultatior with Mr. Strider, as a represents tive of the state, is a first step. The Commission will meet again wit! Mr. Stridor on January 22 to con sider appropriate material for i questionnaire that may be sent t( Rappahannock citizens regarding such issues as the county’s future development.

The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors’ decision to halt construction of the animal shelter in Scrabble is a gift to both Scrabble residents and other residents in the county. If the decision of the Board holds, residents living near the . site will not have to endure the torment of howling hounds. Don’t get us wrong. We love little animals. Even big ones. Studies have repeatedly shown that people function better with pets in their lives. And the Humane Society is always a good source for obtaining pets. But to begin erecting an animal hotel in a residential area is a presumtuous invasion of privacy. Who could sleep with the noise? County residents also received a gift — a decision was made , to allow citizens to express their views before the animal shelter is built. But don’t be too quick to sigh a sigh of relief. The issue is not over. The Board of Supervisors will be conducting a public hearing on the issue. If your voice is not raised, it is conceivable that the Scrabble site, of another unpopular site, could be approved. Be at that meeting to express your views. Used metal The Planning Commission also gave citizens and vistitors a gift last week. In their wisdom they denied recommendation for a proposed used car lot on Route 211. The potential blight of more used metal on our “avenue to the mountains” is a sad thought indeed. Rappahannock County is one of the more beautiful places to live in America. What is the real point of living nere or encouraging vistors to Rappahannock if our landscape is V ei ed with used car lots? What comes next? McDonalds. Vistors could stay at home and see those things. Many of our local businesses depend on revenue generated by visitors. To an eyesore a visitor will not come. This kind of thing happens time and again. Many who think they can make some money are going to apply for special use permits that change beautiful agricultural land into commercially spoiled tracts. Do we want Route 211 to become another Broadview Avenue? Be at county meetings to express your views. V Rappahannock heritage Afternoon sun at Middle Street Gallery. RapfNtMunocfc New* photo/Qicg Turner Mary W ashington College should retain name To the editor: The Board of Visitors of Mary Washington College will recommend to the Virginia General Assembly that the college name be changed to Washington-Monroe College in Virginia. This proposed change of name will be presented in January 1986. Until the name change is passed through both houses of the General Assembly, this is not a dead issue. The Administration and the Board of Visitors have led us to believe that the name change is supported by the majority of the alumni, faculty and students. Additonally, they have said that any opposition will be harmful to the future of the college. None of the facts so far presented support either of these agruments. The decision to change the name was based on biased surveys prefaced with a letter titled “Image and Excellence” which was slanted to make anyone who disagreed with the name changed appear to want the college to shut its doors. This letter contended that to achieve the standards of academic excellence the college administration wants it must has full coeducation, implying that without it they will not attract the desired type of student. The letter went on to state that high school seniors and guidance departments do not even recognize the name Mary Washington College. If the name is not recognized perhaps it’s becase the admissions office has not done its job. It is almost as if the college administration has spent the past few years preparing for a negative re sponse to last spring’s survey in order to force the name change which had been voted down in the past. Issues still remain that have not been addressed such as the current Letter percentage of male students both on and off campus, not just the 1980 residential percentage; the extent of nonrecognition of the name^JVlary Washington College, when the Washington Post, th^JVew York Times, and Cfianging Times have listed Mary Washington one of the best buys in education; and the specific results of all of the surveys given in early 1985. The name change has received alot of attention in the Federicksburg but is not well known throughout the state. The college has planned it that way. To have any hope of defeating the proposed name change in the 1986 session of the General Assembly we are asking the citizens of Rappahannock County to contact their local delegates and state senators by January. We hope that the Virginia General Assembly has the foresight that the current Board of Visitors lacks. VIRGINIA K.

Eugene McCarthy s On the decline of spy standards The rash of spies, informers, defectors, and other varieties of traitors that have been publicly exposed in recent weeks and months is, if judged by the classical standards by which operators in this field have traditionally been judged, a rather common and motley lot. There are the slight exceptions of Larry WuTai Chin and the Soviet lover of Yurchenko, who bear marks of distinction — Chin because his reticence and strong loyalty to the Chinese lend a touch of class to his drama, and the latter because her sense, qf[ honor and propriety led her to the most dramatic of all forms of expression, suicide. In the period surrounding World War II, there were standards to which spies, informers, and defectors conformed. If the espionage involved a first class power such as the United States, the spy would be expected to be moved by high ideological motives such as universal and perpetual peace, or, on the negative side, saving the world through mutual assured destruction, thus not letting one side or the other get a destruction advantage. Russians who defected dining this period usually gave a more limited ideological justification, and were more likely to make their case of personal rejection of life in Russia, and of the inhibitions placed on their artistic expression. This was especially true of ballet dancers and musicians, and an occasional poet. Russians did not defect in order to play hockey, or soccer, or to join the international ski circuit. Such defections were more likely among lesser communist and communist satellite nations. The second level of spies and informers seemed to be marked especially by the British. In this level the motivation for the passing over of information were usually, or certainly very often, found to involve homo/ sexual relationships. These relationships seemed to move the persons involved to rise about patriotic restraints. Third-class countries might produce spies moved by the more acceptable sexual attractions in the heterosexual order, while fourthclass countries’ spies and informers were moved by crass financial and materialistic considerations. The old standards no longer hold. Russians now defect for material considerations, even for money, which may not be paid to them by government directly, but realized through advances and royalties on books, and what they may be paid by the news media for public appearances. Defectors, like hostages, or former hostages, are quickly sought out by agents. Homosexuality, having become more accepted, has lost its distinction and power in the world of international intrigue.

The Virginia Song Birds of Warrenton will render a program at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Woodville on Sunday night. Remembering Christmases past By Donna Fisher Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer As a child growing up in the country, without electricity, very little money and miles from our nearest neighbors, I can recall my mother, in mid-December, reminding us, my brother and me, that it was time to work on our Christmas tree. She always assured us that she would help us with any difficulties we might run into. Now, doing work on our Christmas tree was quite a bit different than is done today! First, we’d go to the woods in back of our house and search for a pine tree that was mature enough to have cones on the branches. That was the easy part — But, we weren’t allowed to touch a good, healthy tree — we had to find one that had been damaged, possibly by a severe wind storm — severe enough to have bent the tree down to the ground but not enough to have broken off the trunk and killed it! The tree found, we went to work. The branches with the cones always seemed to be at or near the top of the tree. We’d cut off the limbs, as many as we could carry, then head back for the house. Inside, we’d put the cut branches in a pail of water to keep the branches from losing their needles until we were ready to use Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner DONNA FISHER’S WREATH of yesteryear. them — then, we spent several days painting the cones. The only paint we had was white — Mom helped us mix vegetable dyes with the white paint to color it various bright hues so that cones resembled colored Christmas balls — then we’d stack the limbs together to make a bunch look like a small Christmas tree, tie them securely and stand the bunch in a big jar or pot filled with water on a table in front of a sunny window. We also used to touch-up the tips of some of the needles to make them look like snow was clinging to them (we wanted our tree to look realistic, you know!) Later, I asked my dear Mom about our homemade Lhnstmas trees — she didn t tell me that we had been poor — too poor to buy the decorations, etc. — she would just say, “We used Yankee Ingenuity.” Last week, we noticed that most of the town shops, The Inn, and the Post Office used real, natural greens to trim their doorways, make their wreaths, etc. We also wanted to use the natural greens, but in a somewhat different way — something from yesteryear. That’s when I remembered our homemade' Christmas trees — we fut that we could use the same materials and bright colored paints for our door decoration. But, instead of the bunch of branches becoming a tree, we just turned a tied-together bunch upside down, so it became a door decoration. The cut branch ends we hid with a bright red and white ribbon bow. Several customers at “Mostly Yesteryear” seemed quite amazed at the unusualness and originality of our door decoration, asking where we found it. We revealed the origin of our decoration which doesn’t seem that unusual to us since we’d made them so many times before. We really enjoyed stepping back into the past, and thought that maybe you would eiyoy hearing about a bit of our part of yesteryear.

LOOKING FOR ADVICE Often there is an important real estate decision to be made, such as to sell or keep and rent out inherited property. With such big dollars at stake, it would make sense to have a professional sit down with you and put all the pros and cons down on paper so you can make a rational decision. Most experienced residential specialists can be hired oh a fee per service basis as consultants. The compensation can be arranged on an hourly, daily, weekly, or by-assignment basis. You’re buying the specialist’s experience and knowledge just as you would if you were hiring the services of lawyer or accountant. Important questions need to be answered and you need professional input. Should you sell? What return can you expect? What will be the tax consequences of the sale? Is it the right time to sell? Would the house be a good rental property? Would it be wiser to rent or put the profit into financial instruments? It pays to have the facts before you make any business decision. 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, YA 22747. Phone: 675-3400.

Mrs. Ronald Dougherty Miss Maddox bride of Mr. Dougherty The marriage of Miss Janet Kaye Maddox of Richmond to Ronald Mitchell Dougherty of King George took place December 21 at Parham Road Baptist Church in Richmond. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Florida Jewell Maddox of Richmond and the late George W. Maddox. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael R. Dougherty of Washington. The bride was given in marriage by her brother, William L. Maddox of Richmond. The double ring ceremony was performed by Rev. William 0. Dillard Jr. and music was by Mrs. Joyce M. Dillard. Daniel Thomas Maddox of Petersburg, brother of the bride, performed “The Wedding Song,” and William L. Maddox sang “0 Holy Night.” The bride wore an ivory eyelet wedding gown. Her gown had a scoop neck with leg-of-mutton sleeves accented with a small bow. Her gown had a drop basque waistline.

Donald, will receive a check from the Rappahannock News for $5.00. BAY SCALLOP SOUP - Doris B. Donald, Castleton “This soup is very nourishing and makes use of the small bay scallops which are more readily available than sea scallops which are much more expensive. This recipe has been a favorite of my family for a longtime.” 4 slices bacon, finely dices 1 onion, chopped fine 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced 3 cups milk 1 cup cream (half & half) .e Pepper Salt (optional) 1/2 pound bay scallops 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped Small package oyster crackers for serving In large pot fry bacon, stirring, until fat runs. Add onion and celery and cook until soft but not brown. Pour in milk and bring to a boil, stirring. Simmer 2 minutes. Add cream and pepper; salt may not be needed as bacon is salty. Bring back to a boil and taste to correct seasoning. Add scallops and poach until just translucent at center, about 1 minute. /Soup may be prepared up to 24 hours ahead of time, refrigerated, and re-heated when needed).

Antique toy soldiers at Carriage House By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Tom and Danielle Junk are collectors of unusual, antique lead soldiers currently on display at their Sperryville antique shop. Housed in an 1880’s wooden and glass case, about 1000 of the tifty figures are ready for battle. Commonly but inaccurately called “tin soldiers”, the lead figures were made over a period of many years by several manufacturers. “It became so expensive to make them they are now made of plastic,” said Tom. Many of the figures in the collection were made by the Britain Company of London. These were cast between the 1920’s through the 1960’s. “Britains are so collectible because they are catalogued and each one is made as a part of a set,” explained Tom. Flint Hill Methodist Women’s party highlights area news me united raetnoaist women met at the home of Mrs. Louise McCulloch on Monday, December 16. The group all took part in the Christmas program. Those present were Fisher Burford, Mabel Lillard, Russie Miller, Mary Brady, Barbara Gentry, Gaynelle Russell, Evelyn Walker, Joy and Merlin Shorb, Alice Pullen, Mary Frances Bywaters, Flo Duvall, Janet Eastham and Mary Curtis. Paul Louis Miller, Jr., of Odenton, Md., was a Thursday dinner Boston holiday notes Miss Linda Hawkins, of Richmond, will be arriving on Saturday to spend the Christmas holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hawkins. If you are out for a drive to view the lights any evening, it will be worth your trip to drive past the Conyers House on 707. With approximately 50 windows and each decorated, the place is beautiful. Recent visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Cary Thornhill have been Mrs. Virginia Curtiss, Mrs. Lucy Thornhill and Mrs. Norma Jean Marsh, all of Culpeper. Mrs. Hilda Marshall has returned home after a weekend visit with her daughter, Mrs. Debbie Wilmont and family in Linden. Mrs. Alvin Atkins, of Sperryville, and her brother, Harold Frasier, of Culpeper, were Tuesday supper guests of their brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Frazier and family. Last Wednesday Mrs. Lorainne Robson, a former Director of Hospice of Rapidan; was hosts to a rewards luncheon at her home, Meadowood, for all the active volunteers. Those present were Mrs. Eleanor Blake and Mrs. Lucille Donahue, of Orange; Mrs. Rosemary Shetsley and Mrs. Connie Payne, of Madison; Mrs. Helen Guthrie, of Rappahannock; Mrs. Ann Enders, Mrs. Shirley Hubbard and Mrs. Edna Kling, One of the nicest examples of the Britain Company’s work is a mountain battery set depicting gun-carrying donkeys with British soldiers fighting in the wars of India. At the bottom of the display case is an old World War I vintage set made by the Elastin Company of Germany. All of the soldiers in the collection are grouped according to various battles or wars. One French made set shows soldiers fighting in the Napoleanic Wars. Some of the battles depict more than human characters; in the Arabian set there is a realistic palm tree and camel. A South African company, SAE, made a set depicting our Civil War — the uniforms are extremely authentic. Many battle scenes are recreated including the American Revolution, the French Revolution. Although some civilian characters have been made by various manufacturers, they are difficult to find because they were not popular during the heyday of toy soldier collecting. Over the years two types of soldiers have been produced — the three-dimensional figures and a type called “flats.” The later are one dimensional, flat-sided, figures painted in a way that often gives a three-dimensional illusion. “I look for detail when I collect,” says Tom. Other criteria include the actual condition of the figures at the time of purchase. Tom looks for unbroken soldiers with paint in good or reasonably good condition. The soldiers are also more valuable if they can be obtained in their original boxes; the old boxes are usually labeled in the language of the country in which they were manufactured. Tom and Danielle share this hobby together. They always have their eyes open for lead soldiers to add to their collection which now numbers in the range of 2000 figures. Tom and Danielle bought their Sperryville shop, which includes their residence in 1983. The building, built in 1860 and renovated in 1910, was named after the old carriage house in the back. The carriage house was in use “probably up until the 1920’s,” said Tom. He is currently renovating that building to house the antique shop. Carriage House features a “kind of eclectic collection of antiques and unusual items,” explained Tom. “It dosen’t have to be old but it does have to be unusual,” to be in the shop emphasizes Tom. “Certain people come by all the time because we have unusual things.” Their private living areas are an expression of their love for Empire furniture. The pieces are massive, of dark mahoghany, and sometimes unusual. Central to the living room is an enormous Griffin couch depicting odd mythological creatures. Tom believes that there is a current resurgence of nterest in Empire despite its size. “People shoot for one really good piece and design the room around that piece,” said Tom. In addition to collecting lead soldiers, antiques of all sorts, the Junks also collect cats — precisely eleven of the them. “I love cats,” Tom explained, as Sheba, the cat, rustles with this reporter's pen. Not your average antique store, Carriage House is a collection of many surprises — with 1000 lead soldiers topping the list. Winter’s cold temperatures hazardous The cold of winter can be particularly dangerous to elderly persons because they are more susceptible to weather related illnesses than any other age group. “Older persons who are exposed to severe cold can become hypothermic quickly. And some older individuals exposed to even midly cool temperatures, below 70 degrees for an extended period of time may become hypothermic as well,” said Janette Newhouse, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in adult development and aging. Certain health problems may increase risk of hypothermia. These include hypothyroidism, (under activity of the thyroid gland) arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, diabetes, head injuries, and alcoholism. Each of these may interfere with the production and retention of body heat. “Prevention works in avoiding accidental hypothermia,” said Newhouse. Dress for warmth and comfort, she said, whether you are planning to be outdoors or inside, awake or asleep. To trap the most heat and provide the greatest protection against the cold, wear several layers of loose, warm clothing rather than one heavy layer. Exercise in keeping with the physical condition helps prevent hypothermia. Food is the body’s energy source. Newhouse said that older persons should plan their meals around the four basic food groups to ensure their diet will supply optimum strength and energy. Drink water, juices and milk to meet the body’s needs, said Newhouse, and reduce the amount of sweets, salty snack foods, soft drinks and alcohol. Elderly persons who live by themselves should plan some collective meals and potluck meals so they can benefit from variety of food without having to prepare it themselves. n i i i. « n \ By POLLY N.

Miss Wittl’s second grade class at Rappahannock County Elementary School pondered the question “What does Christmas mean to you?” and then went into action to answer it. Most of the children felt that as a “celebration of Jesus’ birthday” it was a time for “caring, sharing, loving and being thankful for their families.” They agreed there were people not so fortunate in the world, and they decided to share with them a bi t of that Christmas caring spirit. Each child then selected parents, neighbors and school employees from which to request a donation. The result was a huge overflowing box filled with non-perishable food items. The box was delivered to the Social Services office in Washington for Christmas distribution to needy families.

Top stories of 1985 (Continued from Paige 1) that allegations of a suit", even if true, could constitute a legal cause of action) and the Halls responded to that by stating that they could show “that such arguments are completely without merit.” The case has been scheduled for January 13 in Rappahannock Circuit Court. Number 6 — New sewage system in Sperryville The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority held the longawaited ground breaking ceremony for the Speryville Sewage System on March 4. The groundbreaking was important because the project has been in the planning stages for the past 16 years. The System has not been progressing flawlessly however. In November it was reported that there would probably be delays in completion. Number 7 — One-third of Rappahannock teachers new More than one-third of the teachers who began teaching in the Rappahannock Country school system this year were new. Out of a total staff of 69, there were 24 new instructors this year — a percentage much higher than that which exists in surrounding counties. _ The Older Workers Program has reliable, mature, part time and full time workers for your business.

Number 8 — Animal shelter at Scrabble is halted The Board of Supervisors, responding to an outpour of citizen complaint, voted to halt construction of an animal shelter at the old Scrabble school site. Residents near the proposed shelter complained about erecting it too close to houses. Number 9 — Historic district ordinance passed in Washington An historic district ordinance designed to protect the style and general character of Washington was passed by the Town Council in August. This ordinance established an Architectural Review Board that reviews plans for changes to existing buildings requiring a building permit and for new buildings. NUGGETS OF TRUTH By Rev.

Res: 937-4388 Spies (Continued from Page 4) may drive it completely out of international affairs. Regular sex seems to continue to be effective, as in the case of the recent Russian defector, Mr. Yurchenko, who then re-defected. All of his turnings seemed to come to naught when the woman, a Russian, asserted (before her suicide) that she had been loved “by a spy, not a defector.” Love, too, seems to have been involved to a degree in the case of an American woman who passed information to her Ghanian lover, and also in the case of Richard Miller, an FBI agent who is reported to have mixed sex and money in selling counter-intelligence to a Soviet woman with whom he was having an affair. The other Americans whose behavior has been exposed seem to have been motivated by what had been classically reserved for citizens of fourth-class countries, that is, money or material goods. The Walker clan seems to have been above or indifferent to ideological considerations, and looked only to the bottom line. Mr. Pelton, former communications specialist for the National Security Agency, evidently sold information to the Soviet Union without an ideological motivation, and Jonathan Jay Pollard, along with his wife, both linked with espionage for Israel, seem to be spies for hire. The Pollard model suggests that spies may soon offer themselves, or be offered, by service companies. They may soon sell their services like Pinkerton or Fingerhut agents, and we will become accustomed to spy agencies, just as we have detective agencies, which will, in turn, be quickly represented by television series that depict the topsy-turvey, dangerous but devil-may-care life styles of international spies-for-hire, in the domestic manner of A-Team, Simon & Simon, or The Equalizer.
