Decapitation was the punishment meted out to the bearers of bad tidings in ancient times, and Mr. McNear’s warning of plans for a new superhighway is a message of gloom and doom for local governments battling to control and direct escalating development. At the direction of the Fauquier Board of Supervisors, Mr. McNear is traveling the Piedmont government circuit, soliciting support for a cooperative effort to “impact” the highway planning process. Last week, he told the Rappahannock supervisors that the proposed outer beltway or western bypass would mean to Rappahannock County what the Capital Beltway has meant to Prince William County, in terms of increasing development pressure. While not opposing an outer beltway per se, Fauquier’s supervisors have written the governor requesting that no portion of the road come through their county. Likewise, opposition is strong in Loudoun County, with the Loudoun Times Mirror leading the way. “At a time when it (the Virginia Department of Highways and Tranpsortation), and the Commonwealth, desperately need funds for highway construction, engineers with heads in the clouds blithely pursue the Outer Beltway, all set to squander $1.2 million on planning the unwanted road, when those funds could, and should, be used to answer real and present needs,” the newspaper editorialized. Highway planners and politicians have countered concerns with assurances that the highway’s construction lies far in the future. Responding to the resolution from the Fauquier supervisors, Virginia Governor Gerald Baliles stressed that the proposed bypass is in the preliminary stages and that money has been allocated only to begin feasibility studies. R. C. Lockwood, head of the highway department’s planning office, insists there’s been no decision yet on what route the superhighway might take. “We’ve got crude sketches” of where the bypass might go, he told The Fauquier Democrat in October. “But that’s about as detailed as we are.” Just how preliminary is the highway^ status? The list of highway allocations for fiscal year 1986-87 includes a category for critical highway improvement programs to be financed with revenue from the gas tax increase approved by the Virginia General Assembly last year. In the Culpeper District, the critical list includes nine miles of the outer beltway - or Western Washington Bypass, as referred to by VDH & T — running from Stafford to the Prince William‘County line. The allocation for environmental studies (or preliminary engineering) is $200,000 in 1986-87 and $300,000 in 1987-88. The Fredericksburg District, for its part of the environmental analysis, will get $100,000 in 1986-87 and $240,000 in 1987-88 for 12.6 miles. For preliminary engineering of 34 miles from the Fauquier County line through Prince William and Loudoun to the Potomac River, the Northern Virginia District is allocated $282,000 this year and $122,000 next year. That’s the $1.24 million which the Loudoun Times Mirror said will be spent on “planning the unwanted road.” The money coming to these counties for the critical highway improvement program would come whether or not it is slated for preliminary engineering on the outer beltway, according to the state’s secretary of transportation, Vivian Watts. At a recent highway meeting in Fredericksburg, Mrs. Watts was asked just that question by Georgia Herbert, attorney for the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council. Mrs. Watts explained that the gas tax revenue is allocated to localities on the basis of the state’s road formula and would have been forthcoming regardless of the road project it pays for. Virginia’s Department of Highways and Transportation and the Governor’s Commission on Transportation in the 21st Century included the Western Washington Bypass on Virginia’s list of “present day” highway needs. At $503 million, it tops the list in cost. And that figure may be drastically underestimated. In its study, the federal Arundel Newspapers staff graphic THE PROPOSED WESTERN WASHINGTON bypass would cut through eastern Loudoun and southern Fauquier counties on its way south to link up with Interstate 95 near Fredericksburg. transportation department put the superhighway’s price tag at $800 million. The highway planners insist that the proposed outer beltway’s route remains undecided. The general proposal would link Interstate 95 near Quantico with Interstate 270 near Mt. Airy, Md.; the asphalt would be poured through Prince William either to the east or west of Manassas and through Loudoun County somewhere between Route 28 at Washington-Dulles International Airport and Route 15 at Leesburg, depending on which of four alternative routes is finally chosen. But, in fact, the mileage cited in the $1.2 million allocated in 1986-88 for preliminary engineering matches just one of those four alternatives. The numbers correspond to the route which takes the superhighway through southern Fauquier between Morrisville and Calverton. According to Ms. Herbert, highway officials concede mileage and cost estimates are based on that westernmost alternative. But in support of their contention that the route is undecided, she said, they note that the path is a mile wide swath on a map.. “What they’re saying is that it may go a little bit to the left or a little bit to the right.” How far off is a final decision on the exact alignment? “If there is one legacy in this area that I can leave in my four years, it is nailing down where the outer beltway will occur,” Transportation Secretary Vivian Watts told approximately 250 land developers and realtors at a forum held last March (Continued on Page 18) Rappahannock joins the fight “People are a little bit like rats. They tend to follow roads and sewers,” said Richard McNear, warning Rappahannock’s supervisors that a proposed superhighway through the Northern Piedmont will bring hordes that even a Pied Piper of Hamlin can’t control. Mr. McNear was at the board’s December meeting in his official capacity as head of Fauquier County’s planning department and at the request of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. He came with a warning: Virginia’s highway planners are proposing a western Washington bypass or outer beltway which will run from Fredericksburg to Leesburg, cutting through Fauquier and Prince William counties. Its eight lanes of asphalt will bring intense development pressures not only to the counties which will be crossed but to Rappahannock and other neighboring jurisdictions, Mr. McNear said. “A new outer beltway will bring pressure here like the existing beltway brought to Prince William.” “This is going to impact all of us,” he predicted, adding that Fauquier’s supervisors view the plans for the outer beltway “with extreme concern.” Already, $1.2 million has been allocated for preliminary engineering and “there’s been no input from any local government or any citizen,” Mr. McNear reported. The money comes to the Commonwealth Transportation Board from the gas tax increase approved in the last regular session of Virginia’s General Assembly. That board has sole authority over expenditure of the special highway funds. “They don’t need to go back to the legislature, the governor or anybody,” Mr. McNear told the supervisors. “I think it’s really important that this county and other counties understand the magnitude of the impact of the outer beltway,” Fauquier’s planning chief continued. “I don’t think it takes a whole lot of imagination to see 30, 20, maybe 10 years from now what a superhighway with an interchange every five miles is going to do to this area.” No county by itself has a chance. ;o influence the highway planning process, Mr. McNear said, but a coordinated effort by local governments may achieve results. “That’s why I’m here today - to sound the alarm.” He charged that the planning for this outer beltway has been done in a “transportation vacuum” without consideration given to other ongoing or planned highway construction projects. The rationale for the outer beltway is that it will reduce congestion on the existing beltway and particularly on the Cabin John Bridge by funneling off northeast bound traffic, Mr. McNear said. But he noted that independent experts, including federal highway administrators, see this as doubtful. According to Mr. McNear, “a pressure group in Fairfax County is pushing heavily (for the western bypass) and they have the ears of the governor.” They’re rushing to have the highway’s alignment finalized “on paper so they can beat Maryland to the punch,” the planner said, adding that Virginia’s neighbor across the Potomac favors an eastern bypass of Washington. He questioned the fiscal wisdom of building a western bypass instead of following the eastern route around Washington since the first will require 110 miles of new highway construction and the second only 25 miles. But more important than cost considerations are land use implications, according to Mr. McNear. “Transportation tends to direct growth.” Building the outer beltway through Northern Virginia’s rural outskirts will bring “a significant growth generator” without addressing its land use impact, Mr. McNear concluded. Newbill Miller noted that the $1.2 million for this outer beltway was part of the highway package pushed through the General Assembly by the state’s urban legislators. It’s an indication of the continuing erosion of the power base once held by representatives from Virginia’s more rural areas, he said. “Well, it’s through and they’re headed down the pike,” Mr. McNear said. “It might be a long time before we build it and it might not be,” he warned. In response, the board appointed its administrative assistant, John McCarthy, to work with Mr. McNear as Rappahannock’s representative in organizing a cooperative opposition to the superhighway proposal. Supervisors authorize drilling at second site By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors, at a special meeting convened last Thursday afternoon, authorized preliminary testing at a second possible landfill site. The 105-acre tract, located off the south side of Rt. 622 about onehalf mile from the intersection of Rt. 729, was suggested to the Landfill Site Selection Committee by the owner, Patricia Saltonstall. Ms. Saltonstall said last week that the property has been for sale for more than three years, and that she contacted the landfill committee when she learned of their plea for suggestions of possible sites from landowners. Hurt and Proffitt, a drilling firm from Lynchburg, was contracted to conduct preliminary testing on the Lee property on the Fodderstack Road. That testing was completed Thursday morning, one day ahead of schedule, and Chairman Hubert Gilkey suggested that, since the equipment was in the county, at least one of the other possible sites being consdered by the landfill committee should be tested. The board met to authorize testing at the Saltonstall tract because, as Mr. Gilkey explained, “we have the equipment up here now, there is a written recommendation (on the Saltonstall property) forthcoming, and the landfill committee is very much in favor of testing it.” Supervisor Newbill Miller replied, “I have no reservations about testing the site - but somebody is gonna complain that they were not notified ... if the site is at all potentially satisfactory, we need to schedule a public hearing just as soon as possible.” Supervisor Charles (Pete) Estes agreed with Mr. Gilkey. “I don’t have any trouble with the public hearing. We appointed the committee to do a job. We have discussed testing of the sites they recommend. There’s no sense holding a public hearing if the site doesn’t test (favorably).” “I’m just worried about the way the public will react,” Mr. Miller replied. “It is a sensitive site,” Supervisor Estes agreed. Chairman Gilkey reminded the three other board members present that it would take Hurt and Proffitt, the drilling company, two weeks to return to Rappahannock for more testing. “The committee is pleased with the site. Most have been on it, and the informal recommendation of the committee is to test the site. The equipment goes back to Lynchburg if we don’t test.” “The work at the Lee site has not shown the promise that they (the drillers) had hoped that it might,” Mr. Gilkey added. “To be perfectly honest, they said ‘it isn’t the best site - it could be a workable site but it will cost some money’.” “We should test,” Mr. Estes said, “before we go through tearing the community apart and then it doesn’t pan out. We should test first before we have the public hearing.” A motion to do preliminary drilling on the Saltonstall tract was passed unanimously by the board. The testing was conducted Friday, and the results, according to John McCarthy, the board’s administrative assistant, should be available in about a month. Search goes on for trash takers while tee site is evaluated The supervisors are continuing their search for an out-of-county disposal site for Rappahannock’s solid waste while simultaneously moving towards approval of a sanitary landfill on the Lee property three miles from the town of Washington. At its Dec. 1 meeting, the board gave the go-ahead to Hurt and Proffitt Engineering to begin geological and hydrological studies, including 10 soil borings to determine rock depth, depth of water table and permability of soils. The field work, which required a front-end loader due to the slope of the Lee property , was done last Wednesday and Thursday, according to Chairman Hubert Gilkey. Under the terms of the county’^ contract with the engineering firm, the report on the tests must meet the requirements of the Virginia Bu reau of Waste Management, the state’s permitting agency for sanitary landfills. “Does that take into consideration the new ordinance that the town of Washington passed?” asked Newbill Miller. “I think the town will require reports as a part of its permitting process.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke noted that Washington’s new ordinance - which requires a license from the town for any waste disposal facility within three miles oi the town well - does not include' “any real standards, any engineering standards.” Without those standards, there’s no way to determine what form test reports should take, he said, but agreed to provide the Washington Council with copies of the reports submitted to the state’s Bureau of Waste Management. While the supervisors were spending $3,800 for site evaluatior of an in-county landfill, they allocated $2,490 to continue the search for a disposal site beyond the count} line. Consultant Leonard Joyce, frorr Joyce Engineering in Princeton, W Va., reported that he has contactec two regional directors from the Virginia Division of Waste Management and from their information, compiled a list of 12 potential takers for Rappahannock’s solid waste. Mr. Joyce indicated that the possibilities include public landfills run by local governments as well as privately operated landfills. The board authorized him to proceed in gathering information on Rappahannock’s “trash stream” and then write to the potential trash takers, explaining the situation here, describing the solid waste produced and formally requesting consideration of an agreement to accept that waste for disposal. Mr. Joyce is to follow up the letters with a telephone cali and then meet with the representatives of the governments or businesses that have expressed an interest in contracting to dispose of Rappahannock’s trash. According to Mr. Joyce’s proposal, he expects five positive responses and anticipates continuing negotiations on price and terms with three parties. The $2,490 approved by the board on Monday covers Mr. Joyce’s services up to the point of the negotiations. Along with his proposal, the engineer gave the supervisors a cost comparison between a county land(Continued on Page 18) Potential sites sought By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer “We still want dump sites,” Mike Massie, chairman of the Landfill Site Selection Committee, announced this week. Since the committee began soliciting potential landfill sites last month, “we’ve had three responses, and we’re checking those out right now for suitability,” Mr. Massie reported. “In addition, we’re contacting real estate agents and going over all their county listings, looking for property which might be suitable.” “We’ve had a lot of hearsay reports,” the committee chairman continued. “Someone will say, ‘Oh, so and-so has some land that would be perfect, and I think it’s for sale.’ We’ve tried to check out each and every one. Some have been on the side of a mountain, nothing but big rocks and boulders,” Mr. Massie added. The Striker tract near Amissville is under contract to be sold, according to Roy Wheeler Realty, Mr. Massie noted. That tract had been mentioned at earlier hearings as an alternative to the proposed private landfill site on the Lee property tentatively endorsed by the Board of Supervisors and now undergoing the (Continued on Page 18)

State Police will operate CARE project Dec. 12-20 The Virginia State Police recently announced plans to participate in a special Operation CARE program for the second consecutive year, beginning Friday, Dec. 12, and continuing through National Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week, Dec. 14 through 20. Operation CARE, an acronym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort, is a state-sponsored national effort to reduce crashes during major holiday periods. The theme for the program this year is “Make My D-Day — Designated Driver” and is an effort to encourage sober driving by motorists, thereby reducing the number of alcohol related fatalities. Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year are traditional times of celebration and gaiety. Shopping for gifts has begun, trees are being trimmed, children are standing in long lines waiting to see Santa and parties for all ages are everywhere. December tradition also holds that nearly 2,000 unfortunate people across the nation will die in motor vehicle crashes involving the use of alcohol, according to National Safety Council statistics. Last year, 72 persons were killed on Virginia’s highways during December. To focus attention on this potentially devastating occurrence, the Virginia State Police are gearing up to conduct intensified DUI patrols and motor vehicle safety checks beginning Friday, Dec. 12. During the motor vehicle safety checks, troopers will check driver’s licenses and registration, obvious safety equipment such as lights and tires, and they’ll be alert to identifying drinking drivers. Holiday party hosts and hostesses can help promote this effort by using the “Designated Driver” concept at all gatherings where alcohol will be served. What better gift can a person offer than an extension of the recipient’s life, or to keep them from the misery of knowing they ended someone else’s life prematurely? All the host or hostess needs to do is to select a few “volunteers” at the beginning of the party to drink non-alcoholic beverages only and to drive the other celebrants home safely. This responsibility can be rotated to other volunteers at the next party. It is clear that the primary solution to the drunk driving problem is self-discipline. But it is also clear that friends need to care enough to look out for each other. The State Police suggest that everyone make an early resolution this year: to help friends not drink and drive.

Slaughter pushes medical savings plan, defense By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. reported that he plans to continue to push for the passage of his Health Care Savings Account bill (HR 3505) when the 100th Congress convenes in January. The popular Republican congressman, who this year ran unopposed for a second term, told an audience of about 20 Rappahannock residents at the courthouse Thursday afternoon he was pleased that his proposal had gained 40 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives. Mr. Slaughter’s proposal would create tax-credited private savings accounts (similar to IRAs) which would be used for medical expenses, thus easing the strain on the financially ailing Medicare system. Although the congressman’s proposal was pending in committee when the 99th Congress adjourned last month, Mr. Slaughter pledged to push for its passage in the next session. He reported that his proposal was one of the five most frequently favored options during hearings conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services. The basic thrust of Mr. Slaughter’s proposal was one of the central recommendations in the department’s “Catastrophic Illness Expenses” report recently released by HHS. A strong defense Questioned about the chances for passage of the administration’s defense proposals next year, Rep. Slaughter replied, “It’s dubious; it’s going to be a struggle.” He said that he feels that the country is spending more for defense than it should for the level of protection it is receiving, but quickly added that there were “some pretty substantial reductions last year - considering the situation of the world.” “We’ve got to keep the pressure on to be more efficient, to get the best value for our dollar. The best way to do that is to have the Pentagon do its own monitoring.” Mr. Slaughter pointed out that the biggest item in the defense budget is personnel expenses, “especially with a volunteer service. Salaries must be competitive to get good people into the service, and keep them there.” Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter ABOUT TWENTY RESIDENTS attended a town meeting held by Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. on Thursday afternoon. The Congressman answered questions on a wide range of subjects, including medical care and national defense. Aid to the contras Questioned by several members of the audience about his position on aid to the contra guerrillas fighting the Sandanista government in Nicaragua, the conservative congressman replied, “That communistdominated regime poses a grave security threat to the United States. We cannot allow the unlimited spread of communism - certainly not in the Western Hemisphere.” Pressed by David Chuse, who advocated that the U. “S.° adopt a more moral position in its international dealings, Mr. Slaughter said, “Certainly, we oppose brutal oppression on behalf of anyone - in Nicaragua or anywhere.” “International relations,” interjected Jesse Pond, a Rappahannock County Republican leader, “is not played by the Marquis of Queensberry rules. The CIA cannot be overseen by Congress.” Congressman Slaughter added, “It is significant that the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Nicaragua, who at first supported the regime, does not now endorse the Sandanista government. People are leaving Nicaragua. There are many opponents of the Sandanistas who were in favor when they first came to power.” The Iranian affair “Certainly, the President was within his authority to initiate discussions with Iran,” Congressman Slaughter replied in answer to a question about his feelings about the story of arms to Iran and aid to the contras which is now unfolding in Washington. “There was nothing wrong with initiating discussions, it was a reasonable idea to approach them on a variety of subjects - to find out if more moderate factions indeed exist. Whether it was the right time, or the right group, I don’t know. “The Secretary of Defense said the people who advised the President made a mistake . . . Regardless of the way you feel on policy matters, he had to remove people who didn’t follow policy or failed to keep him informed. If you work for the President you cannot exceed your authority. “As far as the shipment of arms, it was not wrong to interject the possibility of arms shipments. Whether we should have shipped as many - that is another question.” Asked for his opinion on the ultimate resolution of the controversy, and its effect on the remainder of President Reagan’s term, Rep. Slaughter said, “Full investigations will be held. At the end of that, the President’s standing will be measured by public support ... It depends on public opinion, what happens to the rest of the term. There are many cases of second term Presidents who made controversial decisions - its effect will be measured by the result (of the investigations) and public opinion.” South Africa, nuclear weapons “You voted against sanctions on (Continued on Page 18) Presently involved frif'&iairiVess steel flue lining., JJL approved* Good for both straight and offset chimneys.

The design endorsed by the Handicapped Access Committee calls for installation of a wheel chair lift on the side of the building next to the Commissioner of Revenue’s office. The lift, which has a carrying capacity of 750 pounds, folds flat when not in use. Courthouse windows will be replaced with doors both downstairs and in the upstairs courtroom to provide entry from the lift. Committee chairman John McCarthy confirmed that price estimate on the lift and the provision of one barrier-free bathroom remains around $22,000. “I haven’t seen a better solution . . .I’m in favor of going ahead with it,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller, his motion meeting with unanimous support from his fellow board members. At Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke’s reminder that town ordinances require approval from the Architectural Review Board before the exterior of a building can be changed, the supervisors agreed to submit the plans for the wheel chair lift to Washington’s ARB. Also at the Dec. 1 meeting, the supervisors: • Heard from regional director Dr. John Einarson that Rappahannock’s health department is “the least functional facility in the district” and that the sanitarian’s office may be moved to new quarters next year to provide adtraffic or close Route 522 in Rap pahannock to trucks, ditional space for a lobby and interview room. 4 • Asked for a determination * on whether zoning administrator John McCarthy can be trained to use noise measuring equipment and then recognized as an expert witness to give testimony regarding compliance with local noise ordinances. • Tabled until January a request from building inspector Emil Smet for enactment of a local ordinance requiring licensing , for contractors doing plumbing, mechanical and electrical work. • Authorized the county treasurer to start the process for sale of property on which local taxes remain unpaid for three or more years. • Authorized off-duty deputies to work dances and other school functions, with the School Board paying the county for the law enforcement service and the county forwarding payment to the deputies. (Previously, the School Board has paid the dep- ' uties directly, but payment must go through the county and the board had to approve this limited “moonlighting” in order for the deputies to be covered under the county’s insurance policy.) • Named Gene Leggett to the vacancy on the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority left by Robert Dennis’ refusal to accept reappointment. • Authorized county offices to follow the state’s holiday sched7 ule. • Approved a resolution asking the Highway Department to either reopen Routes 17 and 15 in Fauquier County to truck /'ration Virginia State Parks 50^fears And Still Growing 1 • A sincere thank you to Patrick and Reinhardt from 24 former staff members from The Inn who were employed within the past year during The Relais et Chateaux evaluation.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. \___J THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11,1986 Editorial Pennywise, pound foolish For the last several months, a battle has been raging in Rappahannock County. The subject is the proposed $1.5 million capital outlay project at the high school. The war over this project, however, goes back many years. Several times in the past, false starts have been made in the direction of improving the high school, but always, for one reason or another (usually money), the decision has been to abandon the effort. As the years pass, the facilities at the high school continue to deteriorate, and the cost to refurbish them continues to rise. Meanwhile, Rappahannock graduates find themselves facing graduates from other schools who have had the benefits of instruction in laboratories equipped for hands-on experience, of language classrooms fitted with audio equipment which makes learning easier, with cafeterias which allow them to sit and eat a meal with their friends in a reasonably comfortable setting, with gymnasiums which allow them to score a basket without bashing their head against a wall. Several weeks ago, the Rappahannock News received a letter from an RCHS graduate, now attending college in South Carolina. Karen Ludwick wrote that she is “amazed by what the other students did in high school.” Amazed that they had the opportunity to dissect animals, to perform chemistry and physics expr^ments, to sit down in a cafeteria and eat lunch. Miss Ludwick concluded that “the students are suffering because they live in a small county. This should be an advantage.” She is absolutely right. A small student population should mean smaller classes with more opportunities for teachers to give individual instruction. It is difficult, however, for teachers to give that kind of help when they spend much of their free time shuttling between classrooms and setting up or breaking down equipment. It is a tribute to the calibre of the county’s teachers that they are willing to deal with these obstacles to their job: educating the county’s next generation. True, the capital outlay proposal represents a large amount of money. But, if the project had been approved when it was first proposed, the cost would have been substantially less. Anyone who doubts that improvements are needed at the high school probably has not visited there recently. It is an eye-opening experience, especially around lunchtime. Arguments that the proposed improvements represent frills, not necessary to a basic education, ignore the reality of today’s world. The fact is that most school districts offer many more elective subjects than does Rappahannock, and as Miss Ludwick stated in her letter, that experience gives those students an advantage. In the competitive world in which Rappahannock’s high school graduates will find themselves, they can’t afford the disadvantage of an inferior education. The supervisors have raised the possibility of scaling down the capital outlay project, specifically by eliminating the new gymnasium. Their last minute reservations sound a little like the bride backing out the night before the wedding. In 1984, the School Board presented preliminary plans for a modest $850,000 expansion project with a prefabricated gym; it was the supervisors who directed that a brick and mortar gym be substituted. That and that alone almost doubled the cost, bringing it up to $1.5 million. And when the School Board came back with final plans for the building project, the supervisors voted to approve the application to the state for a literary loan. The State Department of Education will release the money on Dec. 12; invitation to bid with approved specifications for the work must be posted by Feb. 12, or else Rappahannock drops back to the bottom of the funding list with a wait of at least two years to climb back to the top. The architects require a MINIMUM of 40 days to draw the plans for any changes; then the plans must be reapproved by the state. It won’t happen in 60 days - not at any time of the year but especially not now with the holidays. It is truly shortsighted to scrimp on education. There is probably no single public expenditure which returns such a dividend on the investment. And there is surely no single public resource more deserving of the expenditure than our children. We urge the people of Rappahannock to attend the hearing at 7 p.m. next Thursday at the elementary school and make their feelings known. And we urge the Board of Qu ter visors to approve the capital outlay proposal. Rappahannock Heritage AN OLD SILO, SHOWING its years, looms above an overgrown pasture on this farm near Massie’s Comer. Rappahannock Newt photo/Cindy Mahan J Letters to the editor Pleading for outlay To the editor: In talking with citizens of Rappahannock County about the building project of Rappahannock County High School, I find that quite a few of them are against a new gymnasium in our school. It has been said that we don’t need a bigger room to play in. We are not pre-schoolers asking for a play room with wind-up toys ,and jack-in-the-boxes. We are teenagers not asking, butt pleading for a new gym so that We can have more sports and school activities to get involved in. What is there in Rappahannock County for teenagers to do after school and on weekends? Not much of anything. I feel that this is one reason there are so many teenagers on drugs and alcohol, because there just isn’t anything else for them to do with their spare time. Some people are concerned that their taxes will go up. So what! They keep going up anyway, so it might as well be for a good cause and I can’t think of a better cause than one to provide a better education for the student^ of Rappahannock County. Please — Say YES to the building project of Rappahannock County High School. TAMMY DWYER , RCHS student A Christmas gift To the editor: We, as officers of the Rappahannock County Elementary School Student, Parent, Teacher Association (SPTA), wish to urge our Board of Supervisors to adopt the capital outlay program. In order to lend even more support to our efforts, we wish to encourage all Rappahannock parents, grandparents, future parents, and all those interested in quality public education to back this effort. We’ve been presented the facts, and no one can dispute that the current high school is in drastic need of improvement. Our children will be facing a world where a quality education will be absolutely necessary to enable them to be self-sufficient, independent citizens. But we, as parents, want more than self-sufficiency for our children. We want them to be able to compete in a highly competitive world, to be able to be an astronaut, a doctor, a media specialist, an actor, an Olympic athlete or a physical education teacher. The capital outlay program will help students to prepare for any of these careers, as it improves the science labs, library, theater and gymnasium as well as simply providing students a place to eat lunch - sitting in a seat in a cafeteria, instead of eating from a paper bag seated on the hallway floor. Certainly our children deserve better than that. How can we best show our commitment to our children and their futures? 1) By signing petitions placed in our general stores. It’s so easy to take a few moments to sign your name, but this simple act will demonstrate to our supervisors that we do have the numbers behind us. Remember, those whose only concern is low taxes, in this case at the expense of quality education, are making their opinions known to our supervisors. Let us be equally heard. 2) Write or call your supervisor to put representative government into action. Again, they need to hear both sides of this controversy to truly represent Rappahannock’s citizens. Supervisors are: Nelson Lane, Woodville, 987-8080; Newbill Miller, Washington, 675-3691; Hubert Gilkey, Chester Gap, 635-5472; Pete Estes, Sperryville, 987-8951; Dick Latham, Amissville, 675-8398. 3) Attend the public hearing on Thursday, Dec. 18, at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. (The high school facility, where this meeting should be held, may not be large enough to accommodate the turnout of citizens.) We know this is a very busy time of year, and it’s easy to stay uninvolved in this fight for education. But we believe some time given to this cause can provide a gift much more lasting to your children than another Christmas toy. It can help insure them of a bright future, stemming from a quality education in an adequate high school facility. CINDY ANDREONI JUDITH TOLE EDIE CLARK and APRIL HEDDLESTON SPTA Officers Our children, our future i o me editor: Some of our county residents who have no children are asking “Why should I support the School Building Program?” They feel that this has no direct effect upon them. This issue should be addressed. Here are some points to consider: These children are your future members of the Board of Supervisors, Planning Board, Board of Zoning Appeals ... It will be their job. Don’t we want these people to be as well informed and educated as possible so that they can make intelligent, rational decisions concerning our future? This will DIRECTLY affect each and every one of us. In other jobs in the county we will all directly benefit from superior education. That mechanic working on your car will need to use computers and electronics to fix it. Even the farmers and. orchardists need to keep up with the latest scientific methods in order for their businesses to remain competitive. Without that competitive edge our county’s primarily agricultural based economy will lose out - sell out, thus further eroding our tax base. Remember the old adage “two heads are better than one”? I’m sure the members of the Board of Supervisors appreciate the fact that they can work together. By combining their skills, they can find the best solution to a county problem. Yet V there are times when it is an advantage to delegate some of their responsibility. Sports,splays, band, chorus and other group activities at our schools that require a gymnasium or auditorium provide the best opportunity for young people to learn these skills — skills to use later in life when they are deciding our future at a board meeting. Let’s give our youth the opportunity for a full, well-rounded education! Sperryville HELEN N. MAY Invest in the future To the editor: Each family invests many years in the love, encouragement, and support of its children. Children receive their education in many ways. They view their education through the attitudes of their family, but they also view their education through the attitudes of their community. If the educational needs of our children are a continuing controversy, and education in Rappahannock County continues to be a low priority that can be put off year after year, how will the children view the importance of education, and how will they pass these views on to their children? It is our wish to state our unequivocal endorsement of the literary loan. It is our strong feeling that the academic needs of the children currently enrolled in Rappahannock County High School are not being met by the current physical structure. The space is simply inadequate! We believe that to invest in quality schools and education is to invest in the future of Rappa hannock County. Toward this end, we would like to show our support. Should the literary loan be accepted, we will give a check to the Rappahannock County School Board. It is our wish that this money be placed in a special account to draw interest until the first literary loan payment would become due. We further feel that there are others in this county who feel as strongly as we do, and who are willing to invest in the future of Rappahannock County and its children. We, therefore, urge any other individuals or organizations who wish^o make a donation, no matter how small, to call the Rappahannock County School Board at 987-8773 to make a pledge and register their support for quality education in Rappahannock County. Excellence in education is not an accident; it happens only when a community is committed to that excellence. JANICE S. MOFFETT W. F. MOFFETT III and JEAN B. MOFFETT Washington Trible urges clean-up of Bay United States Senator Paul Trible (R-VA) has urged the Environmental Protection Agency to maintain the federal government’s commitment to clean up the Chesapeake Bay. In a letter to EPA Administrator Lee Thomas, Sen. Trible said, “It is essential that the federal commitment to clean up the Bay be maintained. This is a critical time for the Bay. A continuation of EPA’s current appropriation for Bay clean-up activities during the coming fiscal year will ensure that we can con tinue to reverse the long decline of a unique and vital resource. “Great strides have been made thanks to the commitment of federal, state and local authorities. I am confident that your continued strong support will alleviate the Bay’s pollution problems and enhance the clean-up effort in coming years. “The Chesapeake Bay Clean-Up Program is a model for other bodies of water in the United States. President Reagan recognized the national importance of this estuary in his 1984 State of the Union message. The Congress has also recognized*1 the importance of the Bay program by funding the cl'ean-up effort every year. “Last year, EPA, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia worked together to develop the Chesapeake Restoration Plan, which clearly defined the general objectives of a cooperative federal-state program to clean up the Bay. The Restoration Plan has laid a solid foundation. However, it is only a foundation. The next step is to define specific water quality standards, Bay-wide strategies and goals for all the tributaries of the Bay,” urged Virginia’s Junior Senator. Think peace To the editor.

Industrial hearing loss What did you say? Heh? Speak up. How many of us have a grandmother who refuses to wear a hearing aid, yet wants to be part of every conversation? She’s convinced you are talking about her if she can’t hear you. Of course, you think you are shouting, and she asks, “Why are you whispering?” This often comic scene is eventually replaced by a more serious situation. 'Hie loss or deterioration of one’s hearing can be a gradual process, sometimes painless and irreversible, and not noticed by the affected person until it is too late. Hearing damage is particularly prominent in many noisy industrial settings where it could be prevented. Nearly one-third of all industrial workers may suffer permanent hearing loss from being exposed to the federally mandated “safe” noise level, according to a 1982 estimate performed by the National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety. Annually, in the over-50 age group, nearly two mil-’ lion workers are estimated to suffer aural loss due to job-related conditions. Annual disability claims for hearing loss are in the millions of dollars nationally and are increasing by about 20 percent each year, according to some estimates. What about the hearing protection devices, for example, earplugs, that are designed to protect the worker in a noisy environment? According to some research performed by human factors engineers (the authorities on human-machine interface), certain earplugs manufactured and advertised as effective guardians of an employee’s hearing in an industrial setting may be ineffective if not fitted or worn properly. An article in the May edition of Sound and Vibration notes the work of Virginia Tech human factors engineer John Casali and his graduate student Siu-Tong Lam. Their combined findings, according to the article, suggest that comprehensive user instruction concerning hearing protection fittings is “critical to the success of protection” given by a manufacturer’s product. When the product is tested by the hearing protection manufacturers or independent laboratories before it goes on the market, conditions are nearly ideal. Quite often the person who is being tested is Call 675-3349 to place your ad Martin Equipment Co.

EYE familiar with the product and the earplug is properly fitted to help achieve the maximum reduction in noise. However, once in the industrial setting where workers typically fit their own hearing protection devices, the results are not as favorable. An employee may improperly insert the earplugs due to inadequate instruction or select the wrong ones for the environment. This may result in the wearer’s discomfort and/or inadequate protection. Often hearing protectors will deteriorate without the worker’s knowledge. In the testing procedure, attenuation data on hearing protectors is typically reported across seven or nine test frequencies and also as a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR), a single-number rating required on all hearing protection product labels. In recent years, a number of researchers have tried to estimate the actual protection that the industrial workers received from earplugs. Studies were performed in industrial plants and laboratories. Ten of these studies were summarized in 1983 in a comprehensive review by Elliott Berger, a researcher at EAR Corporation. It was found that the average manufacturers’ claim was that the NRR of earplugs was 20 dB. Later, an independent study of the “real world NRR” based on the attenuation received by workers in the industrial environment proved that workers received an average of five dB of protection, one-fourth of the manufacturers’ claim. Hearing protection programs are one way that the industry can protect its workers and in some cases, defend itself against litigation. But as Casali warns, “Ideally, noise should be stopped at the source or in its transmission path, not at the receiver ... But because protection devices are cheaper and easier to implement than many engineering controls, they will continue to be popular.” John Michael’s Hairstyling Specializing in perms.

Love: it’s basic By JOHN BORGENS Rappahannock New» Contributing Writer I recently read about a survey of 50 parents who had successfully raised their own children. I was glad to see that first on the list of basic principles, and listed as the most im- portant task, was for parents to love and really care about their children. The idea to love abundantly seems hke just good tjommon sense. This not only gives children a sense of security, belonging and support, but it also smooths out the rough edges of childhood. ! Parental love should be special in Ifwo respects. First, it should be constant and unconditional. This means fit is always present, even when the child is acting in an unlovable manlier. Actually, constructive discipline, giving clear direction and enforcing limits on a child’s behavijor, gives the child a sense of security and the message ' that the parents care about them. i Secondly, parents should be open $1 expressing and showing love, so Chat children are never uncertain gbout its presence. This means parents should demonstrate their love by hugging and praising their children at every available opportunity, i I think love can be shown in ijriany ways. Parents need to spend tjime with their children. Some time <?an be spent playing together. The sole purpose of this play is pure enjbyment. Parents need to talk together with their children. This gleans time to listen and sincerely react to each other. The foundation for good communication begins in childhood. ■, Family spirit, a sense of family and belonging are developed by doing things together as a family. Have regular family outings, special family dinners, or spend holidays together. Go to social, sporting or religious events together. You can’t fool Children by giving them things like toys as a substitute for your time gnd attention. * The most important comment made by parents in response to the survey was that steadfast love must go hand in hand with discipline. In order to love and discipline most effectively, it is necessary to spend Constructive time with your children. . It seems that while adjusting to Changing times, it is even more important for parents to hold fast to these common-sense and basic unchanging principles of child rearing.

Since then the annual event has grown from its original 25 to 1500, and the total number of participants from 27 to well over 35,000. This year every Canadian province, every American state, many Central American countries, and numerous West Indies islands will submit their results to the National Audubon Society, which supervises the affair and publishes all the counts in its journal, American Birds. The count itself is undoubtedly the biggest birding event of the year and means days and weeks of planning strategy and logistics in trying to amass, in a single calendar day, the biggest possible list of birds in the designated area. By tradition that “count area” is a circle (which cannot overlap another circle) of 15mile diameter, or roughly 177 square miles. Vvitnin tnis circle oi iana ana water, count organizers attempt to field as many competent birders as they can, who are grouped into “parties,” each with a section of the circle, or points on the map, which they alone will search. In the Shenandoah county about 55 people will be organized into 22 groups. Each group will have special tasks - some will call for owls starting at midnight, some will check roosting areas while others will canoe down the Shenandoah River. There seems almost no limit, either, to the numbers of birds Christmas counters can find in their designated circles. Obviously, at the Christmas season, the wanner climates hold an enormous advantage, as do all counts near salt water. In 1982, the count in the Atlantic area of the Panama Canal Zone scored | highest with 306 species; the highest U.S. count in 1980 was.;Freepoit, Texas, with 222. By contrast, Tok, Alaska, at 25 degrees F temperature, found only four species. The NSVCBC records around 100 species and is the only count in the entire Appalachian region that has ever hit the 100 mark. All this information will be gathered, edited, and published in the July-August issue of American Birds. Apart from its attraction as a social, sporting and competitive event, the annual count sheds light on the early winter distribution of the different species of our native birds. All counts are open to competent birders. If you have information about rare birds or for information on the count, contact Rob Simpson, 869-2051 (home) or 869-1120 (work, Lord Fairfax Community College).

The poinsettia — a seasonal treasure to last all year That exquisite poinsettia you give or receive each Christmas - the one that doesn’t come with care instructions - doesn’t need to shrivel up and die weeks into the new year. With a bit of knowledge and a little care, this year’s gift poinsettia can last for many holiday seasons to come. A little knowledge The most colorful part of the poinsettia is its leaves. While small flowers do bloom at the base of the plant’s uppermost leaves, the poinsettia’s brilliant red, pink or white coloring is actually a resjlt of the amount of darkness, not light, the plant receives during the fall and early winter. A little care The first step to insure a long, healthy life for your poinsettia after the holiday season ends is to place it in a light, cool area, away from radiators and home appliances that generate heat. The soil should be moist, but not soaked, and should be allowed to dry completely between waterings. And be sure to remove the decorative foil from the outside of the pot as-soon as possible after the holidays. Time to repot While they will flourish well through the holidays, most poinsettias are potted for greenhouse conditions, not the home environment. So take a tip from the home gardening expert at Garden Scene, and be sure to repot your poinsettia before the end of the winter. When you repot, be wise. Select a planter that is versatile enough to adapt to any room decor and durable enough to withstand outdoor conditions during the summer. Garden Scene plastic planters are made to endure all seasons - inNot a day passes over the earth, but men and women of no note do great deeds, speak great words and suffer noble sorrows.

Day realtor DECIPHERING ZONING MAP If you are looking for a new home in a new area, it is possible that you have secured a zoning map of the town. The problem is — if you are not in the business of building or selling real estate, the zoning code numbers and abbreviations will make the map just about meaningless. Here’s a quick course. The general zoning abbreviations are usually “R” for residential, “C” or “B” for commercial/business, “I” or “M” for industrial/manufacturing, and “A” for agricultural. Each of these classifications have subgroupings. For example, “R-l” for single family residential; “R-2” for two-family houses; “R3” for larger apartment buildings. Similarly, “M-l” may stand for light industrial use and “M-2” may refer to heavy industrial use. Zoning regulations and classifications protect your buying interests. If you’re purchasing a singlefamily home, you probably want to be reassured that a factory or shopping center isn’t going to go up next door. 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. doors and out. Available in most flower shops, grocery stores, discount and general merchandise outlets, Garden Scene planters come in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes to accent any room decor. What to expect as seasons change By April, your poinsettia’s leaves will begin to wilt and drop. Keep it in a cool place and let the plant dry out. Water only enough to keep the stems moist. By May, the ideal time to repot your other house plants, cut the poinsettia stems to 4-6 inches and place the plant in a bright window or outdoors when frost danger ends. By mid-summer, new shoots will develop. Pinch off the shoot tips. And in late August, to keep the plant from growing too tall, pinch off side shoots as well, leaving about 3-4 leaves on each shoot. Back indoors for the holidays In early fall, when night temperatures begin to fall below 60, bring the plant indoors. From early October to late November, keep the plant in complete darkness from nightfall to sunrise. This darkness will bring out the plant’s brilliant leaf colors - just in time for next year’s holiday season.

The show was aired Dec. 4 on Channel 51 from Harrisonburg. The competition consisted of three parts. The first phase was a toss-up round where both teams had the opportunity to answer a question. The team that buzzed in first had to answer the question and if the answer was correct they could add points to their score by answering a bonus question. f The score at the end of the first round was Rappahannock 130 and Waynesboro 5. The second round was a category round. Each team member attempted to answer two questions from a category which they selected. They had a choice of math/science, history/geography, fine arts/literature, or current events. The score at the end of the second round was 160-50. The third' round was a speed round where the first team who buzzed in had to answer the question. There were no bonus questions in this round. The match concluded with a score of Rappahannock 255 and Waynesboro 110. Team members Dwight Parker (Captain), Liz Oliver, Brenden Finnerty, and Jonathan Watson were overjoyed with the outcome.

The contest .gave the students practice in finding items in a newspaper. RCHS beats Culpeper in news contest By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock County High School was the setting for a newspaper contest between the Culpeper Junior High School remedial reading class and the RCHS remedial reading class. Culpeper’s teacher, Ms. McCay, and Rappahannock’s teacher, Mrs. Deb Mills, prepared questions about information in the current issue of the Culpeper Star Exponen t. In the first part of the contest questions were given to each team. They were given time to find the answer in the paper, give the answer and where they found it. The second part of the contest was a grab bag section where the team to find the answer first was recognized and given the opportunity to answer. The final score was Rappahannock 20 and Culpeper 13. The Rappahannock students were ecstatic about the win. Mrs. Mills said the victory really gave them a sense of pride. Every member of the class had a responsibility pertaining to the competition. If they did not compete they helped with score keeping, making name tags, or providing moral support. The team members were Captain Jason Butler, Danny Huff, Gail Hitt, Irvin Freeman, Charles Slaughter, Craig Smith, Daniel Meredith, Bobbi Jo Wines, and Sherri Wines. Mrs. Mills explained that the purpose of the contest was to provide an enjoyable means for practicing comprehension skills. They had the chance to apply classroom skills in a “real life” situation. It also helped them with understanding how a newspaper is laid out and where to find specific things in a newspaper.

Rappahannock J ournal • Farm • Business • Garden • Rural life Ann Kolack creates Christmas magic By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Special Writer Ann Kolack has a village where candles twinkle in the windows, candy canes march around tiny shrubs like fairy tale fences, and little Santas lean against chimneys that no architect would ever approve. Ann is a baker working in gingerbread and she has fashioned from this ancient, earthy dough creations beyond the wildest dreams of even the most spoiled child. Gingerbread is not Ann’s only medium. She has spent half of her young life learning the painstaking craftsmanship and artistry of the creative baker. Still, she stops short of calling herself a pastry chef. “That’s something I aspire to,” she said. “That’s a title I would reserve for later, perhaps when I finally have a chance to study in Europe with the great ones.” Ann has indirectly learned from some of the “great ones”, seeking out students of Gaston Lenotre, the famous Parisian chef, serving apprenticeships with those trained in the formal French and Austrian schools, traveling and studying cookbooks and patisseries wherever she has gone. Her interest started at six, when she baked her first cake. “I was hooked from the start,” she remembers. Since then, a lot of butter and sugar has been creamed, a lot of eggs broken. Her parents bought a restaurant when she was 10 and she worked there after school. At 15 she learned candy-making for a local shop; later, she worked at the Hawaiian Sheraton Hotel, where she met a pastry chef using designs from Europe^ On Oahu she apprenticed herself to a master chef whose work she admired. Later, she traveled through Europe and Israel, studying regional pastries and desserts and visiting with chefs and bakers. She first Encountered gingerbread houses from a consumer’s point of view. “Every year, my girlfriend’s mother would make one,” she said. “And every year, I would eat one.” Seven years ago, she learned from the same friend’s mother how to make the houses herself. Working both on her own and in different Hawaiian bakeries, she has produced thousands of perfectly crafted little structures. “Our houses were so sturdy, and we were so confident about them that we’d ship them 3,000 miles, fully assembled, with decorations and all,” she said. This venture was not without its tense moments. Several years ago Ann was asked to build a gingerbread village for the Hawaiian Trade Center. “The scale was amazing - I think each house was five feet by three feet, by about four feet tall. I was halfway through when I realized that the structures were simply too large to stand unsupported.” Ann had allowed enough time to start again, but time was running out. “We built a wire framework that we baked right into the gingerbread - kind of like chicken wire,” she said. The gigantic display was loaded into her car and off she went, finally finished, at three o’clock in the morning of the day her creation had to be delivered. “Wouldn’t you know - I ran out $VuT$elp JVIates BY •GREY • TAUPE • CAMEL • BURGUNDY • NAVY • WHITE • BLACK $46.99 • CAMEL • NAVY • BURGUNDY • WHITE $46.99 0* •TAUPE •WINE • BLACK $41.99 It wo oro temporarily out of your sin or color, wo will ordorltforyou.

Loudoun St. Mall — ,1 AC Old Town” Winchester, Va. of gas,” she said. “I almost gave up completely, but eventually my houses were delivered and they were a big success.” Ann has learned by trial and error some things that cookbooks don’t tell you: “The frosting is the key,” she said. “It must be very, very thick. If candies start to slip, take the time to scrape off your house, thicken the frosting, and start again.” The frosting (recipe in box) is the mortar, Ann says. “I recently did some work with caulking, work I wasn’t really accustomed to,” she said. “But it came real easy. I thought, ‘this is just like using frosting and a pastry bag’.” Ann demonstrated her gingerbread-house making at the Foster-Harris House last weekend, and an observer looked at her work from a different perspective: “That’s just like caulking,” he commented. Ann’s recipe reflects some modifications she’s devised over the years. Not using any shortening means that the dough is sturdier and lasts longer. But no matter how long the houses remain on display, Ann likes for them to be eaten. “They’re really good,” she said. “And they’re meant to be eaten. I think children feel really special when they’re allowed to eat something that beautiful.” And all Ann’s houses are beautiful - quite possibly a standard for other gingerbread all over the world to aspire to. She makes them to order to resemble a particular house, she’ll substitute dried fruit for candy, and she tries to reflect a local angle. This year, her first in Rappahannock, she’s built some Virginia log cabins ftom gingerbread, available at Country Heritage in Washington. Rappahannock News staff photo/Cindy Mahan A WILLING APPRENTICE TO Ann Kolack is Jessica Haase, who found the techniques of gingerbread house-making fascinating. She also found the results appetizing. “I recently heard from a friend in Hawaii that she was making gingerbread grass huts, with shredded wheat for the thatched roof,” she said. “It’s really fun to play around with different ideas.” In the future, Ann hopes to fulfill her dream of studying in Europe. “There’s a place in Austria called Demel, where the bakers use woodburning stoves, adjusting the heat by using different woods. I’ve seen pictures of the pastry chefs working there, with marble counters and crystal chandeliers. It’s one of the greatest patisseries in the world.” Ann would also like to study at the Hotel Sacher, the Austrian bakery and hotel famous throughout the world for its elaborate desserts. “This is really an art form,” she said. “People are just as serious about it as are sculptors or painters. It’s been my childhood dream and, as much as I’ve learned and studied, I’m only part way there. ” For now, though Ann’s plans are to stay in Rappahannock and continue to accept catering and baking jobs. “This is home,” she said. It’s more than art that draws Ann to her chosen profession, she adds. “In Hawaii, desserts are very important. Everyone has a sweet tooth. And everywhere, no matter how you look at it, desserts are important. They make people happy.” I Building?

Wakefield offers Sanskrit class Wakefield School, in rural Rappahannock ' County, has always prided itself on its language programs, both ancient and modern. Now Wakefield has yet another language accomplishment to announce. The school is conducting a course in the ancient language of Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the language of ancient India and the precursor of modern Hindi, Bengali, and Urdu. It is one of the parent languages of the Indo-European family in which Latin, Greek, Russian, the Romance languages, English and a host of other languages find their origins. The class, conducted by Wakefield Classics instructor Patrick -* II.IT-X_w w LAST TURKEY SHOOT OF SEASON Friday, December 12 7; 30 p.m. Washington VFD 12 gauge-No sleeves Thank-you for your attendance this season Duffy, presently consists of five students — Steven Butler, Sean Bennett, Adrian Filip, Josh Yowell and Takashi Takenoshita. Surprisingly, the course was offered as a result of student demand. Mr. Duffy expressed astonishment at the student interest, stating, “I know I enjoy Sanskrit, but being a classicist, I am used to solitary entertainment.” Mr. Duffy comments that his stu dents are enthusiastic and well-prepared. “The students have taken up what is the very difficult and complicated task of studying Sanskrit and I am ceaselessly impressed by their willingness to work hard.” Although the practical application of Sanskrit is obviously very limited, the inclusion of the course in Wakefield’s curriculum adds yet another facet to its language program.

MADISON RD., ORANGE ★ DLR #1644 ★ 672-3700 American Heart Association WE RE FIGHTING FOR VOUR LIFE Signs of love: Gifts at Middle Street Gallery By TONI WHITE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer In the grip of rushing through preparations for the winter holidays, caught in a sweaty panic about “time running out,” stumped about what to get friends and relatives, you may stop and ask yourself: “What am I doing this for?” Calming down, you will remember the purpose that inspired all this seasonal craziness - we are celebrating our love for one another. As we carry out the ritual of holiday shopping, we are searching for signs of love. To create something is an act of love. Unfortunately, the demands of our lifestyles often do not allow us to create gifts for everyone near and dear to us. The next best thing to making something ourselves is to give a work of art created by someone else. The artist takes time to translate her or his loving visions into some material form to be shared. The Middle Street Gallery Christmas Show offers an opportunity to find handcrafted gifts for those we love. Twenty-five artists are showing works which they feel are worthy of helping you to express your feeling of connection with others. The large number of artists’ visions represented increase the chances that you will find something that aptly expressed the vision of your heart. This show contains a great variety of media: watercolors, pastels, etchings, oils, pottery, wood carvings, baskets, painted fabric, fiber hangings, collage, stained glass, handmade paper, photographs and more. The feelings expressed in these works of art range from the comic and sweet to the haunting and ceremonial. Some of them expand our perceptions with their whimsical exploration. Jeanne Drevas’ pots are a beautiful expression of such originality in their shapes and colorful decoration. Joel Hoyer also expands our capacity for expression by incorporating themes and concepts from other cultures. His gold-gilded masks would make unique tree ornaments, linking us with people in other parts of the earth, as well as making a striking addition to any home’s interior design. Andrea Klopp’s carved wooden spoons combine great beauty and grace with function. Viewing her pieces I felt her love of wood to be extremely tangible, and contagious. Not only is the work at the Middle Street Gallery beautiful, it also has a wide price range, from $8.50 and up. There are prints and smaller pieces — and all the work is reasonably priced. Artists perform a function for us all. They express what we cannot take time to in beautiful material forms. If you buy someone a gift at the Middle Street Gallery, you also will be giving a sign of love to your local artists’ community, thanking them for their work and providing support for them to continue. □ 1 »T WOOD STOUES •1/4" steel plate top and front •10 yr. warranty •Cast iron door •Airtight combustion chamber ^333^ rebel! ortfVtoJ $263.75l C35j 27" Wood Length HRS-27TN.

The first Washington celebrates a Colonial Christmas I Washington celebrated its first Colonial Christmas last weekend, alid the consensus of opinion seemed to be that it was a successful affair. “I really felt good about the events.” said Mayor Dean Morehouse. “It was well-orchestrated, well-done. The town has really picked up a vibrant spirit about itself.” Charlie Eldred, proprietor of the Washington House of Reproductions, agreed with Mayor Morehouse. “It was not a big bash, it was fairly low-key. I think the people who came enjoyed it, and that they w|ll go home and tell their friends. ; “There was enough of a crowd so thiat we could see things that worked -and those that didn’t - in planning for next year. *“I don't think that people were expecting a big commercial-type thing," he continued. “One person drove through town and said he didn’t see anything happening. I reminded him that it is winter, and jokingly asked ‘What did you expect outside?’ He agreed with my point.” Mayor Morehouse said that “Most important, it served the residents in coordinating their efforts and channeling their enthusiasm. The celebration served to bring a new kind of unity to the community. Everybody from all around was involved. It was a warming experience.” Fran Eldred added, “I felt comfortable with it. It was a nice, quiet, small-towm Christmas type of event.” Mayor Morehouse agreed. “It made you say I’m glad I live in Washington, Virginia.’.” Social Service asks donation • Rappahannock Department of Social Services director Sylvia Kreitler asks that anyone in the county who would like to make a donation of food or money for the department’s annual basket drive for the needy please contact the department’s office in Washington (6753313). Mrs. Kreitler also requested that anyone in the county who feels that they or someone they know are in need of the department's assistance during the holiday season please call or stop in at the office, located in the Rappahannock Medical Building on Gay Street. All inquiries will be handled in the strictest confidence.

According to the Center for Environmental Physiology, a national nonprofit research organization which studies and reports on the effects of heat and cold stress, tens of thousands of older Americans literally “freeze to death” in their own homes each year. These deaths are a result of cool indoor temperatures, not prolonged exposure out-of-doors. Therefore, older adults in the nation’s sunbelt are no less vulnerable than their northern cousins, although it is less expensive to heat their homes. Factors such as living alone, low incomes, poor diet, other illnesses, limited physical activity, and use of alcohol or certain types of prescription drugs place many older Americans at greater risk. Hypothermia can also worsen pre-existing conditions and diseases in older people. Many deaths are initiated by hypothermia although another disease is ultimately listed as the cause of death. How it develops Hypothermia is caused when the body loses heat faster than it can be replaced. Normally, the body conserves its heat by narrowing blood vessels in the skin, reducing the flow of warm blood near the surface in favor of heating vital organs in the body “core.” This process is our main defense against cold. When skin blood flow is reduced, the skin becomes cool or cold. The resulting discomfort prompts us to put on more clothing or seek warmer surroundings. When warm clothing is used as an artificial barrier against the cold, the body is not forced to use its natural defense mechanism of reducing skin blood flow. Clothing is the key to comfort and survival in a cold environment. However, many older individuals have a diminished skin sensation. They are often unaware they are even cold. If left alone, they can develop hypothermia in the course of a few days. Symptoms It is difficult to recognize hypothermia. Some symptoms are the same as those of other illnesses, including diabetic coma, stroke, or f heart disease. Other symptoms are conditions not unusual in elderly people; for example, confusion, disorientation, or reduced mental clarity. These become progressively worse as the body temperature falls, and the victim may not be able to reliably relate, or even be aware of, what is happening. Other signs to look for are: • A change in appearance or behavior during cold weather • Uncontrollable shivering, or no shivering at all • Stiff muscles, particularly in the neck, arms, and legs • Slow and sometimes irregular heartbeat, slurred speech, shallow, very slow breathing • Weak pulse, low blood pressure • Cool or cold skin, particularly on the stomach, lower back and extremities • Poor coordination and problems with balance. Treatment Hypothermia is a serious, complicated condition requiring professional medical assistance. A hypothermic should be treated in a hospital. If you suspect hypothermia, take the person’s temperature. Take the victim directly to a hospital if it is below 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees C). If you must wait for emergency medical help to arrive, you can prevent further heat loss by wrapping the person in a warm blanket, making sure you cover the head and neck. Above all, stay calm and handle the person very gently. DO NOT rub or massage arms, legs, or feet; DO NOT give the person alcohol or drugs; DO NOT raise the legs or place a hot water bottle on the feet; and DO NOT give hot drinks or hot food. The person must be wanned slowly. If you don’t have blankets, quilts, towels, or other wrapping, lie close to the person, using your own body heat to help keep the victim warm. Prevention Hypothermia can be prevented. Homes should be adequately heated and insulated. Heating costs can be kept down by closing off unnecessary rooms and using only one or two. Financial help to pay heating bills is available through state and local assistance programs. Check with your local energy office or utility for information. Also, many utility companies offer home energy audits to help you reduce fuel costs. Dress warmly, both during the day and while sleeping. Several layers of lighter weight clothing - or blankets - are better than a single, heavy layer. You can remove or add layers as needed. Don’t wear tight clothing that restricts the blood flow to hands and feet. Consider wearing a hat, even indoors. Nearly half your body’s heat is lost through the head. Also, be sensible when going outdoors. Dress warmly and keep your head, hands and feet dry. While down-filled coats and windbreakers are warm, the only material with insulating properties, even when wet, is wool. Pace your outdoor activities to avoid getting overheated. Eat sensibly. Well-balanced meals, with high energy foods, keep your body’s defense up. Most importantly, keep in touch with relatives and friends, particularly during cold weather. Many communities have phone-in or personal visiting services. Hypothermia is an insidious killer that can be prevented with a little thought and care by each of us. wm COPY SERVICE AVAILABLE Copies while you wait je Eappafjannocfe J^etos Main Street Washington 703 675-3338 ^ ^ - Keep RappaJbaimock Beautiful Imagine the peace and beauty of Rappahannock County marred by litter.

Evaluate (Continued from Page 1) fill and transporting the county’s solid waste elsewhere for disposal. ‘These are conceptual estimates, based on my experience and industry figures,” he noted. He projected landfill costs at: • $500,000 for site development. • $66,000 a year for repayment of that sum with interest at 12 percent and amortization over 20 years. • $175,000 for annual operations including debt retirement and post closure ftind. That works out to disposal costs of $44.87 per ton. Assuming one central transfer station for collecting and sorting solid waste to be trucked out of the county for disposal, Mr. Joyce allowed: • $250,000 for site development. • $33,000 a year for repayment at 12 percent interest over 20 years. • $150,500 for annual operations, including debt retirement, tipping fees at $15 a ton, transfer station maintenance and operation at $20,000 and transportation at $39,000 (based on four 150-mile trips a week at $1.25 per mile). Using his figures, the per ton disposal cost for transporting Rappa hannock’s trash is $38.60 or $6.27 less than disposing of a ton of solid waste at a county landfill. “I do think it’s a feasible idea,” Mr. Joyce said. But it hinges on whether Rappahannock can find another county or a private landfill operator willing to take its solid waste “at a reasonable cost," he stressed, adding that the supervisors must consider capital expenditure as well as long term expenses associated with either option. “I haven’t changed my mind,” stated Newbill Miller after the engineer’s presentation. “I’d like to see us pursue this.” At least to the point of beginning negotiations with interested parties, added Charles Estes. “In fairness to the people of Rappahannock County, we should go that far.” The board voted unanimously for the engineer to proceed, directing him to report back at the January meeting. Mr. Miller asked that administrative assistant John McCarthy be kept apprised in the interim. “And he can keep us apprised,” added the Hampton District representative whose district includes the proposed in-county dump site. Slaughter (Continued from Page 3) South Africa,” Mr. Slaughter was asked. “Why?” “The opposing sides are bitter enough as it is,” he replied. “Sanctions would just make the two sides more intransigent than they are now. The end result would not promote the end of apartheid. And blacks are not united about sanctions, the same as whites (are not all united against them). “In general,” Rep. Slaughter continued, “foreign policy should be conducted in the enlightened self-interest of the United States. We want to remain free and independent. The best way to do that is by example - to remain strong, free, independent — that is the best ex ample to the world.” “That’s not to say,” he added, “that everybody should be like us. We’ve done that too many times before. That’s a mistake.” Asked about the possibility of the United States initiating nuclear force reductions by some type of a unilateral cut, Mr. Slaughter said, “That’s a very complex subject. Basically, I would like to see fewer weapons around.” “But how are we going to verify what the Soviets are doing?” he asked. “I don’t see how that (a unilateral reduction) would elicit a response from the Soviets,” he continued. “I don’t think they would suddenly become more benevolent.” Students cite inadequate facilities at high school By KRISTI PENDLETON and KELLI SISK Rappahannock News Contributing Writers As students at Rappahannock County High School, we are well aware of the insufficient facilities that are a part of our education. Much has been said about the inadequacy of the building, but no one can truly understand until they spend time trying to learn in this environment. In order for the public to visualize the type of educational environment their children are experiencing, we must start with the basic facts. There are 12 numbered classrooms, including one split in half by a temporary wall (9A and 9B), a home economics room, one science lab, a shop and four modular units. Room 1 is disguised as a math room. It’s true that calculus and algebra are taught in that room, but during lunch the room provides space for the students who can’t fit in our cafeteria, and who don’t want to sit on the floor in the hall. There is also a small (and we emphasize small) computer room in the back, separated from Room 1 by a constructed wall. The lunchroom is not only a poor excuse for a lunchroom; it is also an inappropriate place for a study hallclassroom. And when desperation sets in, it’s used as a lecture room. Our music room is not really a “music room.” It’s simply Modular Unit 3, the most convenient place for the chorus and band, who also share it with a health class. While on the subject of the health class, there is not a Health, Driver’s Education, or First-Aid classroom. These courses are taught by the Physical Education teachers. Since there isn’t a permanent classroom, the teachers have to switch classrooms after every period. It’s not unusual to see one of these teachers fighting his or her way down the hall with a film projector or other necessary items for class instruction. We have only one science lab; it’s used for chemistry, physics and one physical science class. The biology classes meet in one room that includes in its equipment ore sink. The earth science classes also meet in a regular classroom that has one sink. Unfortunately, the earth science room is also the art room, which means that the art supplies are stored in the same room as the science supplies. These are only a few examples of our substandard facilities. Fortunately, we have a faculty that cares enough about us to spend extra time and provide us with as much intellectual background as is available. Wakefield students win oration contest Wakefield students Laura Dose and Julie Whitworth won first and second places respectively in the American Legion Oration Contest held last weekend in Front Royal. The third place winner was Cynthia Reed of Warren County High School. The topic of the contest was, as always, any issue related to the United States Constitution. Laura Dose’s first place speech was entitled “Children on Death Row.” She examined the constitutionality of the death sentence for underage children. Julie Whitworth’s speech was entitled “The Media and First Amendment Rights.” Arguing that the American news media have violated the spirit of the First Amendment guarantees of freedom of, speech, vision news often encourages international terrorism by providing it a “theatre in which to act out its grisly deeds.” The third place winner Cynthia Reed argued in her speech against Miss Whitworth claimed prayer in school. The Wakefield students’ coach was civics teacher Mrs. Margaret Doyle. The format of the American Legion Oration contest is particularly grueling. Contestants must first speak for a minimum of seven minutes without benefit of notes, prompting, or even podium. Later, they must speak extemporaneously for at least three minutes on a question about the Constitution drawn by the judges. All of the winning contestants and their coaches received cash awards and medals. The first place winner will continue in the contest at the regional level. The contest will conclude in the spring with the competition of state winners from all over the nation. As 1987 is the bicentennial of the writing of the Constitution, the American Legion has made a large effort to interest high school students in this contest which causes participants to read, study, and analyse that document. Outerbeltway (Continued from Page 1) in Leesburg. Mrs. Watts told the group that she envisions a route which would connect Interstate 95 north of Fredericksburg with Frederick, Md., via US 15, crossing the Potomac at Point of Rocks to detour traffic west of the Washington area. As justification for the superhighway, she maintained that it would reduce traffic congestion and ensure economic development in Northern Virginia. Governor Baliles echoed that same point at a Greater Washington Board of Trade meeting. “The logic of a Washington bypass running west of the city is obvious on the face of it and compelling,” the governor said. Calling the outer beltway an “urgent and vital project,” Mr. Baliles maintained that it could divert almost one-third of the traffic that now jams the Capital Beltway ringing the District of Columbia in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs. But will it? Just four months after her speech to the developers and real estate agents, Mrs. Watts wrote in a letter to the Waterford Foundation’s executive director: “You are right: It (the outer beltway) will not solve congestion on the existing beltway The U. S. Department of Transportation agrees. In its study of Virginia’s western bypass proposal, the Federal Highway Administration concluded that it would “primarily serve future traffic generated in the developing Virginia suburbs,” rather than today’s traffic that now clogs area highways. It noted that the highway’s “primary function” would be to serve as a “development highway” and found that “land which is now sparsely developed due to the lack of access to the urbanized area could have pressure brought to bear to begin unwanted development and urban sprawl.” The federal study goes on to say that “more likely, any reduction in through-traffic estimates would be offset by the underestimation of traffic generated by the intraregional shifts in population and employment associated with a western bypass.” The federal highway planners also held that Virginia’s Highway Department analyzed the western bypass proposal “in a vacuum” without taking into consideration other projects proposed or underway: the Springfield Bypass, the Manassas Bypass and the upgrading of Route 28. “A western bypass would compete with other regional transportation improvements - both transit and highways - for limited available resources,” the federal study pointed out. Only three to 11 percent of future average daily traffic volumes on the Cabin John Bridge would be diverted to the western bypass if it is constructed with a new Potomac River crossing, according to the federal lighway planners. “A western by Search (Continued from Page 1) state-required hydrological and geological testing. “So the Striker tract is no longer under consideration,” Mr. Massie added. Specifically, the committee is looking for 40 or more acres available for lease or purchase by the county. “This is only for a COUNTY landfill,” the committee chairman stressed. “It wouldn’t be privately owned or operated. A private landfill isn’t even under consideration.” The land should have road access but that can be through a right-ofMM*i’%*%*>%*ii*hi**’**>**t%*x%*inL way. “It doesn’t have to be on the highway,” Mr. Massie said. It should be flat or rolling land; a ridgetop site is acceptable but a mountainside isn’t. And the property must be at least partially wooded to provide screening. Interested landowners should contact Mr. Massie or Supervisors Charles Estes or Hubert Gilkey, both members of the Site Selection Committee. “We have three possibilities now, but we won’t know until further testing whether they’re suitable,” Mr. Massie concluded. “We’d like some more options.” NUGGETS OF TRUTH; Over the past several weeks, we have been studying "The Lord’s Prayer.” Now that we have gone through all parts of the prayer, we would like to summarize it for you. First, we thank God that He is our Father, because Jesus shed His blood for us we can call God Father. Praise God because Jesus has redeemed us from sin (2nd Cor. 5:21). Jesus is our peace. He is always present with us (Eph. 2:14) Jesus is our healer (I Pet. 2:24). Jesus is our provider )Phil. 4:19), and finally praise Him because He is our security. He is the great shepherd. (Heb. 13:20). Next, we learned to pray for God's will to be done in ourselves and our family, our church, our nation and the world. Then, we learned that God is our provider, in Him is everything we will ever need. If we are obedient to God’s will we will never be in lack. (Psalm 34:810) Then we ask God to forgive our debts. We learned that we are to forgive others and release them of ! their debts. We must forgive them i that sin against us (Matt. 6:14 & 15). Then we learned that we must be clothed with Jesus in order to resist evil. God has provided a way for us to resist temptation; please read in your Bible Ephesians Chap. 6;1018. God is our protection if we will set our love on Him. (Psalm 91). If we will put God first in our lives, we can live free from the evil that comes to us every day. And finally i in “The Lord’s Prayer", we return to ; praise. God has, if you are born again, put you into His Kingdom | (Col. 1:13) and bestowed His power i in you, (Luke 10:19 & 20). Then be' cause He has done these things for ! us we give Him glory, honor and * praise. We know this study has | helped you, because it has helped ' us to become more in Christ. $ 0 5 y y 0 y 0 5 y 0 1 y y % 0 y $ FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER Washington, Va.

A new Potomac River crossing for a western route doesn’t appear likely, either. Maryland, which owns the Potomac and thus controls any bridge construction, adamantly opposes the western route. That state’s highway planners insist that no bridge will be built to bring the superhighway’s traffic - and super development pressure - into an area slated to remain rural and agricultural. Hal Kassoff, the administrator of the Maryland Department of Transportation, has maintained that the natural corridor for a new beltway around Washington is to the east where it would connect with Route 301. That highway was used to skirt Washington before 1-95 and the Capital Beltway were built. Trucks still take 301 to avoid the metropolitan area: 2,000 trucks per day use Route 301 near the Potomac River, according to traffic counts. Further, an eastern bypass would bring development pressure to an area in Maryland planned for development rather than for farming. The Maryland Science and Technology Center, the International Renaissance Center and Bowie Town Center are just three of the major projects planned for the vicinity of a possible eastern beltway route. The Federal Highway Administration also sees merit in an eastern route. “The FHWA believes that any future state and local studies should also consider eastern alternatives,” its study of Virginia’s western proposal found. If the highway goes east, Virginia would pay for building about three miles of its length; if it goes west, the Commonwealth pays for 55 miles. So why is the state looking to the west? Powerful forces back a western route which would take the eight lanes of asphalt through Northern Virginia across an area that will become the next commercial development frontier. Nothing would better serve the interests of developers than a superhighway to pave V the way for that development. Til Hazel, the recognized leader of development interests in Fairfax County, backs a western bypass. “As a last resort, we’ll build it to the Potomac River and let it hang,” Mr. Hazel has pledged. With John Herrity, chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, and Robert Tardio, chairman of Suburban Bancorp, Mr. Hazel formed a non-profit corporation in September to promote the western bypass. Also in September, six Northern Virginia senators introduced a bill in the General Assembly to allow the State Department of Highways and Transportation to contract with nonstock, non-member corporations “to act on behalf of the Commonwealth within a designated area.” Such corporations would be empowered to work directly with landowners, local and state government agencies and elected officials to promote and develop highway projects. Their powers would include authority to conduct preliminary and final alignment studies and to receive donations of rights-of-way and cash contributions to purchase rights-Okfway. Mr. Hazel’s Traffic Resear#i Foundation fits the parameters outlined in the proposed legislation, which has been carried over to the General Assembly session which gets underway this January. Highway planners have said repeatedly that agreement with Maryland must precede progress on the superhighway. But Governor Baliles, again speaking at the Greater Washington Board of Trade meeting in March, said, “I will not equivocate on the intentions of Virginia. We must proceed on the planning and construction of the outer beltway.” Projections on when the state will break ground for an outer beltway range from five to 50 years away. But the issue is not when a western Washington bypass will be built but whether it should be built at all, according to PEC’s Georgia Herbert. “By saying, ‘Don’t worry because it’s years and years away,’ we’re presupposing that people then won’t care,” Ms. Herbert maintained. “And that’s just not true.”.
