The early-season snow dumped four inches on At dawn last Wednesday the snow was only a sprinkling of white, resembling confectioner’s sugar dusted on a cake as a finishing touch. By afternoon, however, it was anything but a piece of cake. The snow flew and the winds blew, clogging roads and cancelling school and other activities in Rappahannock and throughout the northeastern U. S. Rappahannock was more fortunate than other neighboring counties. Col. Deiter Knuepfer reported about four inches at his home near Massie’s Corner, and Sperryville’s Dennis Wingfield recorded about 4M> inches of snow during the storm. In contrast, between six and eight inches fell in Fauquier County, and National Airport in Washington, D. C., recorded 13 inches, which closed the busy airport and stranded hundreds of travellers. The county did dismiss schools at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Superintendent David Gangel explained that the decision to wait that late was based on the most up-to-date forecast available, which called for about one inch of snow and gradually clearing skies Wednesday afternoon. “We talked with the highway department, and based on the forecast and the information about the roads, we decided that the best chance for getting buses into Chester Gap would be after noon. They said they would have the roads cleared as well as could be by then,” he said. “The storm caught everybody by surprise,” Dr. Gangel added. There were no problems in getting students home, he said, contrary to the situation in some (See SNOW, p.18) Good weather draws many hunters to woods With large populations of both deer and bear in evidence, the big game season in the county is off to a good start. “The take for the first day of deer season was about average,” Game Warden Jim Bankston reported. He said the sunshine and warm temperatures made for af good day of hunting Monday, and that “there was a lot of shooting, a lot of deer being taken.” . - “We’ve been busy,” he added, re; porting that quite a few complaints [-were investigated by both game [-wardens and sheriffs deputies on ’ Monday. He said that most involved ^.trespassing, although several reimports of roadhunting were also reI'ceived. jj- Warden Bankston reminded ^hunters of several changes in the r: game laws of which they should be !v aware. “Wear blaze orange” he "stressed. The fine for not wearing ‘the required clothing is $25 and -court costs. Warden Bankston said ^that several citations have been is4sued. The greatest danger to hunters, ,;the Virginia Game Commission warden stressed, is still other hunters. •» With an estimated 320,000 hunters in the woods this week, that danger is great indeed. ‘There were a lot of hunters out on Monday,” he said. “There seemed to be a lot more hunters visible — now that they’re wearing blaze orange. ” Blaze orange: It’s the law That is the impetus for the new blaze orange law, which the Commission estimates may reduce accidents by as much as 50 percent. Hunting accidents have increased in recent years, despite campaigns attempting to increase hunters’ awareness and knowledge of the dangers. The most common accidents, Com mission' statistics say, are a hunter shot after not being seen in the line of fire or being mistaken for game. Those have been the main identified causes of accidents in the 26 years the Commission has kept records. Usually, that means the hunter fails to positively identify his target, or fails to be absolutely sure of what lies between him and the target, Warden Bank&on said, as well as what lies beyond the target It’s a particular problem during the early days of the season when more hunters are out, some are inexperienced, and some may succumb to “Buck Fever.” “There seemed to be a lot more hunters visible — now that they’re wearing blaze orange.” —Jim Bankston Game Warden As of Monday it became state law that every member of a hunting party (whether or not actively hunting) wear a blaze orange hat or upper body clothing which is visible from 360 degrees. If the hunter is stationary, such as in a stand, at least 100 square inches of blaze orange may be displayed within arms’ reach. It too must be visible from 360degrees. Blaze orange camouflage is not acceptable under the new state law, the Virginia Game Commission cautioned. It may be worn, according to the Commission, as long as the hunter complies with the law by wearing one article of the required solid blaze orange clothing. The camouflage is not acceptable under the law, the Commission explained, because field tests have shown that blaze orange camouflage is much less detectable by the human eye than soljd blaze orange in subdued light, the kind found around dawn, dusk, and in deep woods. Blaze orange must be displayed on clothing while travelling to and (See HUNTING, p. 18) |Jeff Gatewood pleads guilty to Madison murder • Jeffrey Scott Gatewood, 22, of Washington, ►pleaded guilty Nov. 6 to second-degree murder ►in Madison County Circuit Court. Gatewood was I to be tried this month on a first-degree murder ;charge in the Good Friday shooting of James ;(Big Red) Carter in Brightwood, on Rt. 29 north 'of the Town of Madison. Carter, 39, was a resident of Brandy Station in Culpeper County. ► In return for the guilty plea, Madison ^County Commonwealth’s Attorney Caroline I Watts agreed to reduce the first-degree murder I charge to second-degree murder, and to nol-jrros ;a second charge of use of a firearm in the cornemission of a felony. - Prior to accepting Gatewood’s guilty plea, -Judge Lloyd C. Sullenberger allowed Ms. Watts :to present details of the events leading up to the ; April 17 shooting. ; Ms. Watts said that a group, including seve; ral people who lived in the Brightwood residence • or an adjoining trailer, had spent the day drink• ing and playing cards. She said that the property • ; was the center of “considerable transient activity.” At one point, Carter and a man identified only as “Ralph” began arguing, she said. Carter pulled a knife and stabbed “Ralph,” who then stopped fighting and sat down and mended the wound with a needle and thread, Ms. Watts told the court. After that incident, Ms. Watts said, Carter left the trailer and got into an argument with Gatewood outside. The two began fighting and Gatewood was hit twice before the fight was broken up. Ms. Watts said that Gatewood then told several people that “I’m going to get him [Carter].” Gatewood then, according to the version of events pieced together by Ms. Watts, borrowed a car and drove to Rappahannock County. He broke into his mother’s house in Gid Brown Hollow, where he took a pistol and two knives. He then drove back to Brightwood, where he walked into the house and shot Carter. The i shooting was witnessed, Ms. Watts said, by a juvenile. As he left the house, Ms. Watts told the court, Gatewood told several people standing outside that “He’s dead.” Carter was shot once in the chest, according to Lt. W. R. Jenkins, an investigator with the Madison County Sheriffs Department. After attempts by the Madison Rescue Squad to revive Carter with CPR failed, he was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. A. E. Powell, the Madison County medical examiner. After the shooting, Ms. Watts said, Gatewood hitched a ride back to Rappahannock County. After an investigation, Madison County issued warrants for his arrest on Saturday. Gatewood was arrested early Sunday morning by Rappahannock County deputies. He has been in custody since his arrest — first in Page County, which often holds Madison County’s prisoners, and later transferred to Fredericks(See GATEWOOD, p. 18) ‘Rolling Chapel’ prompts release time revision Changes in existing policy expected to cover requests Two months ago, when supporters of a Christian education program asked that children be allowed to leave school early to attend a “Rolling Chapel” to be parked just off school grounds, the School Board tabled the proposal, directing Superintendent David Gangel to draft a policy on early release to cover this and similar requests. Dr. Gangel presented that policy at last week’s meeting. A revision of existing regulations governing absences and truancy, it reads simply: “Prearranged absences are authorized by the Principal to release students from school upon written request of parents or guardians. Some reasons for excusing students may be to visit the dentist or physician, accompany parents on vacation, attend religious activities, or for any reasonable purpose as determined by the parent and principal. When a request for release time is made in writing by the parent or guardian, it should normally be approved so long as the period of release does not interrupt the educational process of the school or the pupil.” When the “Rolling Chapel” request was lodged, board members Bryant Lee and Paul Nichols questioned whether release of students during the school day to receive religious instruction violated the Constitutional requirement for separation of church and state. Last week, Dr. Gangel assured the board that the proposed policy revision on prearranged absences “meets the test” and “is appropriate as far as legal constraints are concerned.” “Is it assumed that the parent or guardian will provide transportation?” Mr. Nichols asked. It will be the responsibility of the parent or guardian, Dr. Gangel con-i firmed, addiri'g that if someone otherj than parents or guardian provides* transportation or escorts the child,! that person must have prior written* authorization from the parents or1 guardian. • I “This is very similar to what’s in. practice now,” noted Nancy Reeve.' “I don’t really see any great! change.” “It just broadens ... It covers all' the needs for prearranged ab-| sences,” said Chairman Beverly Massie. “And I don’t think it will infringe, on anyone else,” Dr. Gangel added. ; Citing the concern expressed by> parents both in favor of and opposed! to the “Rolling Chapel” proposal, the board agreed to defer action on (he! policy change until its December meeting in order to give those inter-! ested an opportunity to react. ,; Also last Tuesday, the School! Board: j • Accepted donations of $200 from the Rappahannock Woman’s! Club and $60 from Mrs. Susan Fox’ for the purchase of new RCHS soc-( cer uniforms!. J • Accepted $578.50 from Masters! Electronics Corporation for an elec-! tronic display at RCHS. t • Learned that six new bus cau-l tion signs have been erected by the Highway Department in the Flint Hill area to reduce the safety hazard, posed by increased truck traffic on Rt. 522 and that Dr. Gangel is still trying to get similar signs posted at Chester Gap. • < • Listened to brief in-service instruction programs by Robert Chappell on personnel policies and by Dr. Gangel on the state-mandated sixyear plan now under review and revision by a long list of committees.* j

Accountant 783 Madison M., Suite 208-B (703)825-6670 Culpeper, Va. 22701 Preparing For Your 1987 Tax Ratum Filing Year-round recordkeeping is essential to filing a correct tax return, especially in view or the changes in the tax laws. The following are some areas that require special attention and some ways you get ready for filing your return for 1987. Keep records of all interest, including tax-exempt interest, which must now be reported on your tax return. Obtain Social Security numbers for your children who will be five years old before the ond of 1987. You need to file a SS-5 Form to get this number. Keep careful records of income and expenses if you have rental property. You wifi need separate records if you have vacation property that you rent as opposed to ordinary rental property you may own. If you own a business, be sure to keep separate bank accounts for this. This was always important, but under the new rules, it is even more important. Keep separate records for the different types of interest payments as different deduction rotes apply to various types of interest. 1 Business interest is still fully deductible. 2. Investment interest is deductible only to the extent of investment income, subject to a phase-in rule. 3. Personal Interest is 65% deductible in 1987 and phases out over 4 years. 4. “Passive activity" interest is deductible only against “passive activity" income attain subject to a phase-in rule. • Keep separate records of income or loss from "passive" vs. "active" investments in S-corporations, partnerships and real estate ventures as different loss rules apply to this type of investment. Be sure to keep records of any home improvement or remodeling as interest on a home mortgage or home equity loan is only deductible up to the cost of the home plus improvements; with certain exceptions.

^Flossie’s friends plan remembrance lously planned gardens below the perennial border on the low southeast side of her house. She supplied L_L _ 1_x_ J_i.L . \T i* * r Flossie Williamson would have loved it - all her friends gathering at her church for herb tea and herb sandwiches, sharing herb lore, herb reciPes snd herb gardening tips. Sunday’s tea at Trinity Church ransh House is a celebration of Florence Bellwood Williamson and her unflagging efforts to introduce everyone to the wonderful world of herbs. Mre. Williamson always planned to write a cookbook featuring the recipes she’d refined over the years to show that low-sodium, low-cholestrol foods, spiced generously and ingeniously with herbs, could taste just as good as they were good for you. But she died before the project was finished. In her absence, the Friends of Flossie took over the task. They pored over her notes and collected the scraps of advice she’d jotted down for those interested in growing lovage or cooking with savory. Using the little herb lady’s own words as much as possible, they’ve captured the flavor of Flossie herself in Flossie’s Recipes. Everything is here in this delightful book: the marvelous cream cheese spread, tomato canapes, herb sandwiches and herb punch she served at the annual Herb Fair at Oak Forest; the pungent, heady herb vinegars that turn a simple green salad into a gourmet experience; the soup posy and bouquet garni that gave her soups and stews such character, the chicken pie that’s guaranteed to keep a winter night’s chill at bay; the instructions for her delectable baked bass (although it doesn’t come with the fresh fish she hooked with such ease at the Oak Forest pond), and the fresh fruit desserts that satisfy a sweet tooth without adding dangerously to the daily limit of calories and fats. But there’s more than recipes. Barbara Scherer’s tribute to her dear friend will evoke smiles, tears and memories for those who knew Mrs. Williamson. She recounts the 8tory of the little girl who, overwhelmed by the green lushness of Oak Forest, whispered to her mother, “Is she really Mother Nature?” She tells of Mrs. Williamson’s painfully shy watchdog, Buttercup, who could tell the difference between stay-at-home clothes and going-out clothes and refused to get Va. tax speed returns - Virginia Tax Commissioner Wil4iam H.

Of those who must t file, the Department estimates that j more people will file the short form, {Form 760S, due to an increase in the • standard deduction amount. { Of the remaining burden hours, »approximately 400,000 hours will be C reduced through redesign of forms, i “Our goal was to make the forms ■’ easier to understand and complete,” {said Commissioner Forst. ; Among the forms redesigned for > taxable year 1987 are Form 760 (ini dividual income tax return — long f form) and Form 760S (individual in? come tax return — short form). Features of the 1987 returns include new column arrangements and p larger blocks for easier computation, ► and new, easier to use instruction • booklets. t The most exciting change cited by Mr. Forst is the new Accelerated Refund Program. “We have worked very closely with the Governor’s Office to develop a new way to reduce significantly the amount of time it takes to get refunds out,” he said. The Accelerated Refund Program will allow Virginia taxpayers who meet certain criteria to get their refunds in two to three weeks. If conditions of filing are met, taxpayers can attach a simple three-line form to their tax return that will speed their return through the system. It is expected that approximately 800,000 of 1.8 million refund filers will be able to take advantage of this new program. Commissioner Forst noted that the Tax Department is monitoring new technologies to continue to enhance the efficiency of tax return processing. Future plans include greater use of magnetic tape in place of some of the tax forms currently required, and the electronic filing of ! income tax returns. Mrs. Williamson and herbs had the same fine qualities in common. Both give endless pleasure, but do not insist on endless cultivation.” — Barbara Scherer, in the introduction to Flossie's Recipes into the station wagon for a trip to the vet’s until her mistress changed into her fishing gear and picked up her fishing pole. Barbara paints word pictures of Flossie in her husband’s old visored cap, worn sweater, and sneakers, tacking up a small hand-printed sign, “GONE FISHIN,” to the porch screen. She remembers Mrs. Williamson dressed for the more formal occasions when she’d put on just a bit of pink lipstick, the only makeup she ever wore, and she sees her “throttling along, little head just visible above the steering wheel, a load of greenery in back and a cloud of dust at the tail of her vintage Pontiac station wagon.” Mrs, Williamson speaks from the pages in the folksy notes and friendly asides that embellished the recipes she wrote down for friends: • “A little lemon juice is a pleasing addition.” • “Use imagination with herbs for the magical touch!” • “In order to catch a fish, you need to think like a fish!” • “All (herb) butters are good on biscuits - and butter them while they’re hot! And so the list could go on and on as long as your imagination holds out. Experiment!” • “Try something new. Try a few weeds!” Mrs. Williamson grew scores of herbs in the informal but meticu hciw panto iui uic natiuiuu ^auiedral’s greenhouse, bringing in 6,000 for one Spring Mart alone. And she took herb vinegars and herb jellies to sell at the Cathedral Herb Cottage. Cheri Woodard, who turned the lessons she got from Flossie into her own successful business originally built on herbs, adds a chapter to the book from Flossie’s notes on growing and using herbs. Mrs. Williamson would have approved: “If you don’t have an herb garden you have missed some fun, and delightful flavors too, because FRESH herbs are different!” she wrote. And her face, wrinkled by years of smiles and laughter, would have beamed at Suzanne Parrish’s calligraphy and Mary Parrish’s sketches. “The perfect accompaniment!” you can hear her exclaim, with the characteristic exclamation point that punctuated all her discoveries and advice. The Friends of Flossie are quick to point out the few typographical errors and misspellings and even quicker with their apologies for the imstakes. “We couldn’t afford a publisher. If we’d had a publisher, all of the little errors would have been caught,” explained Frances Lyne. “We took it to a printer and a printer just prints what you give him.” Flossie would have pooh-poohed the worries over glitches. What’s important is that' this wonderful little book is here, produced by loving friends of a dear lady. The Friends financed the project and trying to guess what Flossie would have wanted, they have dedicated the proceeds from the sale of Flossie’s Recipes to programs which enrich the lives the elderly. “But you know, that’s already happened,” said Quita Parrish. “Almost all of us who worked on the book are elderly, and it was so enjoyable. Our lives have been enriched immeasurably.” The Friend# of Flossie invite everyone to tea at the Trinity Church Parish Hall this Sunday from 3 to 5 p.m. Refreshments mil be from “Flossie’8 Recipes — Wonderful World of Herbs.” Copies of the book will be available. It can also be obtained from the Rappahannock County Library or by sending $9.95 plus $2 for postage to Friends of Flossie Williamson, Route 1, Box U65, Washington, Va. 227U7. ------_ . - air ♦ *i OF (-ULpFpg R Christ\ mas / Open House '87 Sunday November 22,1987 Noon until 4:00 P.M.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1987 Editorial i Those less fortunate ' A request has been put before the county’s Board of Supervisors for a resolution in support of $42 million of the sitate’s current budget surplus to be allocated for increases in fbnding for mental health and mental retardation programs. For the past few years, the trend in treating mentally ill individuals has been to remove them from the institutional setting and allow them to live in society, with as much freedom as they are able to manage. It’s a wonderful concept, and a commendable and long-overdue alternative to the inhumane methods which were used to “treat” such patients just a few short decades ago. Unfortunately, during the same period the federal government has been steadily cutting the amount which it cbntributes for just such social service programs. The budgetary priorities of the present administration do not, it seems, include the least fortunate American people. As a result, the states and localities have been left to pick Up a larger share of the tab for mental health and mental retardation services. £ More than half of the 16,000 patients in state hospital fc^ds when the de-institutionalization plan began in 1968 have been returned to local communities. However, the state has not adjusted the formula by which mental health monies are earmarked. State hospitals still receive 84 percent of the money, according to figures presented to the Board of Supervisors, although they now house only about one-third of tj>e state’s mentally^p^ientp, little fro-cocofvty Planning DisWictS, whichimbdek > Rappahannock, an average of 110 patients per year have been deinstitutionalized since 1982. That’s an additional 550 people who will require some type of social support services. But there’s been no increase in funding to provide those services. t The problems begin when the de-institutionalized individuals have trouble adjusting to and dealing with their new-found freedoms. Many are on prescribed medications to control their conditions. If, for whatever reason, they stop taking the medicine, their condition may resurface. Others n$ay find the world outside the institution is just too difficult for them to handle. C Then, it’s up to the local social services, emergency medical services and law enforcement agencies to deal with them. C Ms. Gorman’s request for support for the $42 million appropriation for mental health is admirable, and probably Worthy of support. The trouble is, it’s a one-time windfall. That tax surplus was created by changes in the income tax system which will not recur once the formulas are adjusted. C Granted, $42 million is better than nothing, but it’s a band-aid fix for a situation which requires a more permanent solution. It would allow supporters of the resolution to feel that they are making a major commitment in support of a Worthwhile goal, while in reality the result may be more problems than solutions. ’* Mental health and retardation programs need increased financial assistance, but they need it on a continuing basis, iipt in the form of a huge one-time allocation. ? What happens when the $42 million is spent? Although it vtfll allow the Community Services Center’s operations to opntinue, where does the funding for those programs come f^om once the windfall is gone? £ There’s no doubt that the problems of funding for mental Kpalth need to be addressed. The formula for allocation of the available money should probably be revised in light of the changing needs of the mentally ill, and the shifting responsibilities of agencies in dealing with them. The question needs to be addressed by the General Assembly, and answers need to be reached for mental health fonding on a continuing basis. The de-institutionalized need Setter support services. That probably means increased state funding. *? There is support for such measures. Del. Andy Guest, no friend of state-mandated programs, said in a recent interview, “We’ve got to do it. Look around us - you can see tjhe unmet needs out there. We’ve got to take care of our <$wn.” He predicted that Gov. Baliles would offer specific Recommendations in his budget message to the General Assembly in January, and he has pledged that increased allocations for mental health programs will be his priority during next year’s General Assembly session. The problems of the mentally ill and mentally retarded in Virginia and across the country must be addressed. As Del. Guest said, “We must take care of our own” - particularly t$ose less fortunate. £ But it must be done on a carefully thought-out, Continuing basis, not just with a one-time quick fix which may |lter prove to be inadequate. Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Letters to the editor Wanted: Piedmont Baptist’s missing book x u tut; cuitui. We have solved the Puzzle of the Forgotten Indenture, bi#t, not the Mystery jrf the hissing Minutes. ^■FuZile arid Mystefy'Cdncerh a little church that lies north of the Hazel River, a mile west of Route 231 from Sperryville to Madison. The Puzzle of the Forgotten Indenture was about the donation of land on which to build the Piedmont Baptist Church. For perhaps more than a century no one has known who gave the land, when, or on what terms, nor could the record be found. Today we know that Lloyd D. Browning and John S. Partlow granted the land in 1845. Where their farms adjoined, each deeded a portion, for a total of nearly an acre. Provisions of the newly discovered indenture mark Browning and Partlow as thoughtful, far-seeing, pious men. After Mr. Browning’s death, his farm, called Piedmont, went to his -grandson, Robert M. Menefee. DiAvid«d ; by subsequent inheritance,^ 1 Piedmont was reconsplidated in the 1940s and is Aow neld by TholandJ Inc. of New York. Mr. Partlow’s remaining land was broken up by inheritance and sale, but the county’s land record books to this day identify those lots as having been part of “the Partlow place.” . The Johnsons’ 1981 history of Rappahannock County shows us that the church was a going concern in 1846. After Congress authorized the establishment of the Shenandoah National Park, acquisition of land for it foreshadowed the demise of the Piedmont Baptist Church by bringing about the dispersal of the Hazel and other mountain farmers who constituted it. In recent years it has offered but one week or less of services annually, and»there was none t-this‘yeaft‘. Yet a church record book , attests that as recently as the 1970s ’ there were "weekly services during the warm months (the building being unheated). The church that Messrs. Browning and Partlow made possible served its Rappahannock people well for 130 years. Its story ought to be recorded, as was done long ago for the older F. T. Baptist Church. I have begun to write the story, but now I come to that Mystery of the Missing Minutes. The Record Book of the Church through 1930, known as “the oldest book,” has been lost for the last 10 or 15 years. Mr. Editor, now that you have kindly allowed me this space to set out the problem and to pique your readers’ interest, may I address them directly? Could “the oldest book” be on a i shelf, in a closet or drawer, any-. •; where at all in Y.OUK house? If anyV of your family has h'ad a connection " with the Piedmont Baptist Church, please have a good look around. You may be the one to solve the Mystery^ What a nice act that would be for. Thanksgiving Day! * *If you find it, please telephone^ me collect (703-368-2197); or tell a; supporter of the church such as Mrs. j Nina Sisk or Mr. George Jenkins, or i tell Mr. Lou Hatter at the Ra.ppa-1 hannock News. Your contribution to * history will be publicly acknowl- - edged and you will have the grat-I itude of the supporters of this l project. RICHARD M. HUGHESI Manassas ^ Mental health most important I Support mental health iu cue euitor: I am writing in response to the Rappahannock News Article, dated November 12,1987, stating, “Supervisors decline to support resolution for mental health.” According to the article, Ms. Jo Gorman, executive director of the five-county Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center, asked the Board of Supervisors “. . . for a resolution calling on Governor Gerald Baliles to hold firm to his commitment to provide ... an already promised $42 million dollars for mental health and mental retardation ... the $42 million comes from a surplus on hand and not new taxes ... the resolution request initiated by mental health professionals and local community services is an attempt to ensure mental health and mental retardation programs don’t fall by the wayside ...” The article goes on to describe the need for increased funds in the area of outpatient treatment for those with psychiatric problems and for providing a better quality of care and housing. Needs also addressed included those for increased staff and appropriate pay increases. Rappahannock County, just as every other county, needs and utilizes these mental health services. In addition to the task of providing adequate care for de-institutionalized patients, mental health professionals provide prevention, stress management skills and education. They help people cope with family crisis, divorce, alcohol and drug problems, v and they counsel victims of physical and sexual abuse. They also act as liaisons between emergency services personnel, hospitals, law enforcement and social services agencies. Mental health professionals deal with this multitude of major human and social issues that in some way touch the lives of every person in the community. The way in which these issues are handled and the way that each individual is helped affects the quality and “wellness” of the community as a whole. It is our task as members of the community, and as government officials, to take responsibility for ourselves in the area of mental health and community service. Mental health and illness, crisis, and emotional distress may affect anyone; no one is immune. I was disappointed to read the response of the Board of Supervisors in tabling this request. We do not need to turn our backs on such a reasonable and clear request made by our mental health professionals. I strongly urge the Board of Supervisors to place this request back on the table at its Dec. 7 meeting and reconsider the resolution request made by Ms. Gorman. Most importantly, I encourage each of the citizens of our community to support this resolution and support the mental health professionals and the very important service they provide to us. If each citizen communicates this support to the Board of Supervisors individually and at the Dec. 7 meeting, then I am sure it will make a very significant difference. TEDDIE HANNON Castleton To the editor: Jo Gorman’s presentation to the Board of Supervisors on the issues of mental illness and the need for support services should arouse the moral conscience in us all. I ask our supervisors to call for a resolution urging Governor Baliles to target this surplus money for mental health care ana services for the sake of Rappa- ■ hannock’s citizens and mental • health care organizations. ■ The survival of our democ- ! racy requires a constituency of ■ sound bodies and minds. MARY JANE CAPPELLO Washington 4-Lane Rt. 211 unneeded io me eauor: I wish to express my concern about and opposition toward the proposed four lane widening of Route 211 between the towns of Washington, Va., and Sperryville. As Mr. and Mrs. Cadwalader Jr. expressed it so well earlier on these pages, such an expensive project appears as possibly wasteful, likely unneeded, and may be even detrimental as it could detract from the scenic value of the land between Washington and Sperryville. Perhaps it is still not too late to have more input into these plans, especially by the year around residents and by those who will be most affected: the residents of Sperryville. Maybe a bit of judicious upgrading of the existing two lane highway would be adequate to improve road safety, if that is a prime concern for this proposal by the highway people. Overall, it would be appropriate to hear from others in the county as to what other road they would rather see improved upon, covered with hard surface, and made safer. It seems to me a lot of good can be done, and at a lower cost than the proposed four lane highway extension. ' Sperryville is now attracting visitors and it is just as well that the tourists coming from the North slow ; down a bit after passing by Wash- ' ington. I find the two lane road i a • welcome diversion when driving ■ from the North and I seem to notiee more alongside the road when ap- i proaching Sperryville. The ambi- ; ance of the little town of Sperryville ‘ seems to me quite nice as it is and I r fear it may change - and not for the better — if Sperryville will be alongside, or at the end of a four lane highway. I am only a weekend resident and a relative newcomer, so my opinion should not count much. I hope, however , that the full time residents can be canvassed or will express their preference on this matter. PETER T. MORA j Woodville : Have something to say about public issues?

"Tell me what to do. I have been invited to speak to the students at a local school, but the school official told me not to mention God or anything religious. How can I do this?” "Well," l said, scratching my head for wisdom and grabbing time to think. "Talk about God as reflected in the best person you know; give thanks for that person. " The young minister left me. unhelped I'm sure. But he was thinking. A few days later he told me what he had done: "I simply talked about my grandfather, the most Godly person I ever knew. I told about how his goodness had taught me about good things; how his lifestyle had touched people's lives; how he stood tall in his community through his honestly, fairness, and willingness to help the lowest and highest people he knew. " Then the young man ended his presentation by saying that thanksgiving is best expressed in living by the highest example of the inward image in which we are created. Paul would have like that because in I Thess. 3:9 he says: “For WHAT THANKSGIVING can we render to God for you. for all the joy we feel for your sake before God_ And that is true thanksgiving—God reflected through others and us.

She reports that the Auxiliary has received $4,335. “The community has taken Lights of Love to their hearts, and has shown great support to us,” she said. “It is time to send your gifts. We need many more donations to exceed last year’s total of $9,923. “Lights of Love is a wonderful way to remember friends and loved ones at holiday time, and we find more and more offices are making a gift to Lights of Love rather than to each other,” said Ms. Henretty. Expressing the true spirit of the season, a gift to Lights of Love honors an individual and supports a project which benefits the community. Proceeds from the annual Auxiliary project will help build a structural canopy to protect patients and guests from inclement weather when entering or leaving the hospital. The Auxiliary members recognized the need for the canopy and designated the funds for this project. The focus of Lights of Love is a 40-foot tall white pine, originally do nated and planted on hospU| grounds by a local Girl Scout troO^pJ The tree is illuminated with hUMl dreds of lights with special sigilifiM cance every , year throughout December.

WHEN LOW OFFER PRESENTED Even though you may be selling your home at a fair market value, expect most buyers to offer a lower price. In fact, a first offer can be low by thousands of dollars. Some buyers play the low-ball game, of “What have I got to lose by coming in with a ridiculous bid?” It happens. If the owner is trying to sell the home himself, he may panic and think he has overpriced his home. He might make the mistake of calling the prospect back and asking if he would be interested in buying at a price a little 1 more than the low offer but much less 1 than the property is worth. Now he J becomes an anxious seller. The pros' pect is led to believe that his tactics have worked and may even insist that the price be reduced further by the amount of the broker’s commission. , This won’t happen when you sell ;i through a Realtor. Verbal offers don’t • work. Every offer must be in writing and accompanied by a check. No panic, just a business-like approach.

Alternatives for Thanksgiving dinner By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent Thanksgiving Day is fast approaching. Traditionally when one thinks of Thanksgiving, turkey and stuffing come to mind. There are some who for one reason or another break from tradition to have another type of fowl or perhaps no meat at all. Have you ever tried capon? A capon is a de-sexed male chicken, about 20 weeks old, that is developed carefully to achieve the fullest flavor of all poultry. The breast meat of a capon is delicate pink. Capons are often purchased frozen. They generally weigh between 5 and 10 pounds. Roast Capon With Orange Pecan Stuffing 1 frozen capon (5-6 lb), defrosted 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1 cup thinly sliced celery 1/4 cup chopped onion 3/4 cup water 5 cups toasted crust-free breadcubes (1/2-inch) 3/4 cup drained, sectioned, diced oranges 1/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1 tsp. grated orange rind 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. curry powder (optional) Melted butter or margarine Orange slices for garnish Watercress for garnish Wash, drain and dry capon. Prepare stuffing. Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine in skillet. Add celery, onion and water; cook over moderate heat until vegetables are tender. Combine bread cubes, orange pieces, pecans, orange rind, 1/2 teaspoon salt and curry powder, if used; mix. Add vegetables and mix carefully. Sprinkle remaining salt over neck and body cavities. Stuff neck and body cavities loosely with bread mixture. Skewer neck skin to back. Return legs and tail to tucked position. Place capon, breast side up, on rack in open roasting pan. (Don’t add water to pan.) Brush skin with melted butter or margarine. Cover capon loosely with aluminum foil, crimping it to edges of pan. Foil should not touch capon. Cook in 325degree oven 3 to 3 3/4 hours. Remove foil 45 minutes before end of roasting time. Brush capon with melted butter or margarine and continue roasting until leg joint moves easily. To serve, place capon on platter and garnish with orange slices and watercress. Makes 6 to 8 servings. Duckling was once considerd to be a delicacy, but with its exclusive dark meat and robust flavor, it has become a popular dish in recent years. To be considered a duckling, the bird must not be younger than 6 weeks nor older than 8 weeks. These birds are purchased frozen ranging from 3 to 7 pounds. When serving duckling plan lVfe pounds per person. Fruited bread or rice stuffing complement this delicate meat. Some cooks prefer to cook stuffing as a side dish casserole. If this is the case, one might consider tucking simple seasoners into the cavity. These might be quartered apples, orange, or perhaps a few herbs.

Once considered to be a rare delicacy, these birds are now readily available, and can be purchased in most supermarkets at prices comparable to conventional chickens. While these birds are delicious when cooked in the traditional manner of being stuffed and roasted, they are equally as delicious and tender when broiled. Rock Cornish hens are usually 5 to 7 weeks old and weigh no more than 2 pounds. For two servings, one needs to purchase a hen that is at least Wz pounds. A 1-pound bird will serve one person.

Like the duck, the goose has only dark meat with skin similar to a duckling. The goose generally ranges from 6 to 14 pounds. Geese have a high fat content. Because, of this, they are sold around 5 months of age. This is the time of year goose is most readily available. It can be purchased fresh or frozen, but it will be costly.

Any leftover stuffing can be baked in small greased custard cups or a casserole dish the last 30 minutes of roasting goose. Place goose, breast side up, on rack in shallow, uncovered roasting pan. Roast in 350 degree oven 3l/2 to 4 hours. To prepare gravy, place neck and giblets, except liver, in large saucepan with 1/2 cup each chopped onion and celery and a dash of salt and pepper.

Clifford, Virginia Extension agent. Mr. Clifford, who is the author of the “4-H Wild Game Food Guide and Cook Book,” is an avid hunter and cook of wild game dishes. With foil hunting season now here, he offered some helpful tips to ensure that wild game is not ruined between the kill and the kitchen. “Even the finest chef cannot salvage deer meat that has been poorly handled after the kill,” Mr. Clifford said. “After the deer is down, it should be opened, gutted, and its body cooled to 35-45 degrees as soon as possible.” The quicker the meat is cooled, the better the meat. For this reason, large game should never be transported on the hood of a car or truck. “The engine will quickly reheat the freshly killed meat,” said Mr. Clifford. ‘Tying the carcass onto the vehicle’s roof is acceptable because wind circulation from the moving vehicle helps keep the game cool.” If hunters have a choice before they shoot, they should choose a deer that has not been run long and hard. Adrenalin pumping through the deer’s body can cause a “gamey” flavor. A quick kill is important for the same reason. ^here is some controversy over whether or not to age deer and small game,” Mr. Clifford said. “Many people advocate hanging the meat to age for a week or more, while others claim that freezing tenderizes the meat just as well as aging and reduces the chance of spoilage. Delicious meat can result from either procedure.” Whitetail deer is the most popular big game animal hunted in Virginia, with a record-breaking harvest of more than 121,000 in 1986. Deer meat or venison resembles beef in flavor, color, and texture. It is much leaner than beef, however, and can becon^edj'y and tough when . overcooked. wemMhtcan be conditioned with marinades, by soaking in milk or buttermilk, or by wrapping in a vinegar-soaked cloth. Butter, bacon, suet, or other fat is often added to the dish before or during cooking. “Deer steaks or chops should be cooked quickly and not past medium rare,” Mr. Clifford explained. “Roasts, on the other hand, should be cooked slowly while retaining moisture with foil, cooking bags, slow pots, pressure cookers, or similar techniques.” Handling of a bear after the kill is very similar to deer. The hide should always be removed as soon as possible, however. Some experts recommend hanging the carcass to age for at least three weeks. In 1986-87, the black bear harvest in Virginia increased for the fourth straight year with 539 animals being bagged. Favorable weather conditions could result in another banner year for bear hunters. Bear meat resembles beef, but is usually darker red and coarser. Younger animals are more tender and have a milder flavor. Meat from older animals should be marinated. It is best stewed, braised, or pressure cooked. “Bear meat usually contains much more fat than venison,” said the Nottoway County Extension agent. “It’s very important to remove the layers of fat before freezing or cooking bear to prevent a gamey flavor.” Mr. CLinord also warned of the need to folly cook bear meat. “Bear meat can be a trichinosis carrier,” he said. ■ The Old Dominion also abounds in small game mammals, with cottontail rabbits and gray squirrels heading the list. As with deer, small game should be field dressed and cooled quickly. According to Mr. Clifford, skinning of small game is often done before removing the entrails. “When skinning, avoid spreading scent gland secretions to the meat,” he advised. “Rabbits have scent nodules under their forelegs. Remove these glands before freezing or cooking the meat.” Be sure to wear plastic gloves when field dressing or handling rabbit meat to guard against tularemia(rabbit fever). Cooking kills the tularemia bacteria. Following is a quick method for field care of rabbits, squirrels, and other small game. (This method is not recommended if the hide is to be saved.) • Open the body cavity from neck to vent to remove all innards after freeing them from connective tissue. Be careful in cutting around anal genital area to avoid meat contami nation. • To skin, work fingers between skin and body until they meet at the back. Then grasp skin in one hand, body in the other. Skin will now break with a sharp tug. The tougher skin on a squirrel should be cut. • Skin can now be peeled freely in both directions and cut off along with the head, feet, and tail. .

The School Board challengers are, from left, Paul Nichols, Bill Oliver (Liz’s dad), Bryant Lee and Nancy Reeve. Pop Quiz team humbles School Board It was kids 80 and School Board 50, when the adults tested recall and reflexes against the high school’s brain trust at last week’s board meeting. “And the youngest shall lead them,” intoned Roger Flinchum, as the youngsters hit the buzzers first with answers to what treaty ended the U.S. War of Independence (Treaty of Paris), who wrote Porgy and Bess (George Gershwin), on which Ides of March was Caesar assassinated (44 B.C.) and what animal was the first to be launched into space (the dog). Stumpers for both sides included the letter most English words begin with (“S”), the river that separates Georgia and South Carolina (Savannah), the number of pieces per player on a backgammon board (15) and the shortest U.S. president (James Madison). “I hate to read about this in the paper!” complained School Board team member Bill Oliver, whose daughter Liz outscored him. She’s the third Oliver tp make the team: older sister Ann was captain of the first RCHS contingent and brother Will followed her as squad leader. Tuesday’s appearance by Liz Oliver, Roy Alther, Matt Kiger and Heather Kilpatrick (substituting for missing captain Dwight Parker) came courtesy of the new agenda item, “Focus on Education,” inaugurated last month by Superintendent David Gangel. The Pop Quiz competition presented every fall by WVPT Channel 51, the public television station broadcasting from Harrisonburg, features teams of four frojn 32 schools, large and small, public and private. Rappahannock entered the ranks six years ago, noted Mr. Flinchum, the RCHS English teacher who with French teacher Cindy Wayland has sponsored and directed tfie Pop Quizzers. “I credit Mr. Chappell in his earlier reincarnation as principal with accepting the challenge - and passing it on to us!” “We’re the only team, in town that allows every student to try out,” Mr. Flinchum continued, explaining how the RCHS final four are chosen. The kids are given a 40-question written test, and then the top 30 scorers advance to the pressure of the buzzer tests, playing against and eliminating each other until the four best are left. ' Rappahannock is also the first team to include eighth graders, Mr. Flinchum continued, recalling that the infamous Jonathan Watson started as a “beastie” ? * (See POP QUIZ, p. 18?

Pitts, program director of the Virginia Affiliate of the National Society to Prevent Blindness. Every year foolish acts by “afflicted" hunters cause numerous shooting accidents. An estimated 400 hunters die by accident each year. An additional 2,400 are injured and thousands of domestic animals are unintentionally .shot. According to Mr. Pitts, four of the major causes-of these tragedies are: • The victim is out of the shooter's sight. • The victim moves into the line of fire. • The victim is covered by the shooter’s swing on game. *• The victim is mistaken for game. .■ Mr. Pitts noted, “Hunters decide when to squeeze the trigger primarily based on what they see or think they see. The quality of vision is the key factor in many accidental shootings.” k If vision is inadequate , the potential for accidents increases substantially, creating hazards for, the hunter and others as well. A hunter must be able to: V • Distinguish detail at consideration distance and against a variety of backgrounds. .-'V • Focus dearly on near ahd distant objects and switch focus within a fraction of a second. '• See comfortably and perform under a variety of light and weather conditions. 4 Mr. Pitts said, “Many hunters are unaware that their vision is defective; they think that they see just fine, while others hesitate to admit they have a problem for fear they will have to give up their sport.” The National Society to Prevent Blindness advises hunters to have their eyes checked before taking to the field. Hunting is a sport that requires excellent eye-hand coordination. Reflexes must be fast, and the hunter’s eyesight true, in order to hit the target with accuracy. Hunters should be espedally cautious at dawn and dusk, when weak light and shadows tfend to play tricks on the eyes. The hunter who is bothered by glare will find that a good pair of safety sunglasses is an excellent aid. Smoke or neutral grey is recommended, followed by green or brown tints.

Arts and Leisure Kilby’s photos offer ‘A Way of Seeing’ By DAVID ROEHLER lUppuhMinotk New* Contributing Writer The first thing I noticed when I walked into Middle Street Gallery was a photograph entitled “Teapot Rock.” It is an exact reproduction of a photo taken in 1869 by William Henry Jackson which hangs directly below Tim Kilby’s photo. I was struck by the similarity of the images and how insignificant 121 years is in this place: the American West. “The West: A Way of Seeing” is a collection of large-format black and white landscapes taken during Mr. Kilby’s travels through the West from 1980-87. There is a feeling of power and preservation - of freezing that second of a unique place for the record - which arises from the heart, experience and mastery of Mr. Kilby’s photographs. He chooses his vantage points with an exceptional sense of balance and sensitivity. He uses a special camera which produces four inch by five inch negatives to create these images of the West. This negative, larger than the 35mm size used by most amateur photographers, produces a print with a finer resolution and greater degree of detail. Mr. Kilby is also obviously familiar with exposure and the workings of the camera. The fine detail drew me into his photographs and their rare compositions held my attention. As I moved through the exhibition, I was drawn to the photograph of a forest on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It is so specific that I could feel the pine needles under my feet and smell the loam and scent of the pine forest. In the untitled photograph of a fallen-down bank building in Ryolite, Nevada, Mr. Kilby’s sense of light and balance are extraordinary. From the shadows of the buildings in the foreground to the clouds in the background, it feels as if he waited for days for each element to reach its proper place. He seems to be able to “previsualize” in black and white. Many pho tographers see in color and, therefore, create an image that isn’t strong enough to support the lack of color. In Mr. Kilby’s work, it doesn’t feel as though there is something missing, and that is a talent that very few photographers have. His attention to balance and light put him in the league of photographic masters like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. In some cases, however, his printing techniques are not as masterful as his vision. The simplicity of his subject matter evokes an emotion, as in the case of one photograph of a deserted intersection in rural Montana, where simply from his vantage point he captures the feeling of human insignificance that the magnitude of the western landscape generates. I was also left with a sense of urgency about the importance of maintaining the wilderness after seeing Tim Kilby’s photographs. Through his clarity and powerful vision, he creates a sense of worship of the land. In doing so, he charges us with What a W Federal Investment $3,000 Minimum Deposit Account Annual Rate Annual Yield 6-Month 7.00 7.18* 12-Month 7.60 7.82 24-Month 8.10 8.35 36-Month 8.40 8.67 60-Month 8.75 9.04 Rates subject to change.

Adventure team meets By JERRI MALLORY Rappahannock New* Contributinp Writer Emmy Bailey was named as the new secretary of the Rappahannock 4-H Adventure Team after former secretary Janice Mitchell moved to Orange. At its October meeting, held at Trinity Church in Washington, the club had a Halloween party, complete with costumes. There was also face-painting, bobbing for apples and plenty of goodies. Several new members were also welcomed onto the team. Anyone else interested in joining Rappahannock’s 4-H Adventure Team should contact the Extension Office in Washington, 675-3619. KUBOTA MORE THAN A MOWER. Of course, a Kubota G-Series lawn and garden tractor is a great way to cut the grass. And with a liquid-cooled 2- or 3cylinder diesel engine, a Kubota is designed to outlast ordinary gas mowers by several seasons. But that’s not all. A Kubota G has a live front PTO shaft drive and a variety of hard-working implements. For example, you can choose a snowblower, tiller or front blade, there are five Kubota G models, from 10 to 16 horsepower. Some come with hydrostatic transmissions as standard equipment. A Kubota G-Series diesel lawn and garden tractor. There’s more to it than you think. ^kuboth Nothing like it on earth.™ 24 Months financing available 4 V4% CCLC plans Christmas bazaar Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News PLANNING THE CCLC’S Christmas Bazaar are volunteers, from left, Jeanne Berta, Kim Hudson, Rachael Berta, Arlene Frye and Marsha Thompson. The wooden rocking elephant is one of the items which will be available at the bazaar. By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Contributing Writers “Deck the halls with boughs of holly” is exactly what Jeanne Berta is doing at the Child Care and Learning Center in Washington. Mrs. Berta is chairman for the second annual CCLC Christmas bazaar, to be held Saturday, Dec. 5, (10 a.m.-4 p.m.) and Sunday, Dec. 6, (15 p.m.) in conjunction with Washington’s Colonial Christmas celebration. Santa will visit the center from 10 a.m.-l p.m. on Saturday. Franklin Photography will help Santa by taking pictures of Santa and the children who try out his knee. These pictures may be purchased for $5. Lunch will be served on Saturday from noon - 2 p.m. Homemade chdi, hot dogs (with choice of onions, shredded cheese or chili as toppings), cider, coffee and baked goods will tempt Santa’s taste buds. A puppet show will highlight Sunday’s activities. Puppeteer Maggie Rogers will make her puppet friends come alive for her audience with an original Christmas play from 2-2:30 p.m. Both days will provide the family with lots of happy experiences. Local artists and crafters will "display their works for sale. There will be a special table with donations from area merchants. Handmade paper greeting cards, wreaths, baskets, and pottery are only a few of the r* ■ - ■ unique items for sale. A drawing will be held for a wooden elephant rocker and a decorative gingerbread house. Another special feature of the bazaar, open to children only, will be the Children's Shopping Room. Each item in the room will cost $1. The gifts are suited for mothers, fathers, grandparents, teachers, aunts and uncles. A child can personally choose from a variety of items, pay for them, and have them gift-wrapped. The organizers stressed that no parents are allowed in this room. Barney O’Meara has donated a Christmas tree for the bazaar. Coupons are available at the bazaar earmarking a $2 donation to CCLC from the price of any tree bought at his Christmas Tree Farm. Chairman Berta hopes that the bazaar will be a “festive occasion and full of the Christmas spirit.” Other committee members are Patti Brown, Laurie Marshall, Linda Morehouse, Trish Drake, Kim Hudson, Marsha Thompson and Sherri Pace. “This is an excellent opportunity for families to visit with Santa, shop for unique Christmas gifts, and have lunch*” said Mrs. Berta, “It should be an enjoyable outing for the whole family.” All proceeds will benefit CCLC’s scholarship fund.

Virginia Phone: 743*5128 7, Dealer No. 195 Advance requested on state’s contribution Superintendent David Gangel is banking on the school enrollment increase holding steady through March, the point at which the state takes its reading to determine the multiplier for the $2,250 per pupil in aid for education Rappahannock County will receive this year. The 1987-88 school budget was built on an average daily membership (ADM) of 881. “I don’t know what it will be in March, but I think we’re looking at 931 - at least,” Dr. Gangel told the School Board last week. The superintendent has asked the Department of Education just exactly what that 50 student increase will bring in the way of additional money from the state but has been unable to get a precise answer. But the higher than anticipated enrollment should translate into at least $46,000 more in state aid than projected in this year’s budget, Dr. Gangel said. “And it probably means more than that if the ADM holds at 931.” With that as surety, the School Board authorized a request to the Board of Supervisors for an additional $46,000 appropriation. Dr. Gangel proposes that $17,832 be used for bleachers for the new high school gymnasium now under construction. This year’s budget has $15,180 available for gym seating: bids opened at last Tuesday’s School Board meeting ranged from a low of $32,200 for wood bleachers to a high of $33,944 for plastic. “In order to go ahead, we have to have additional funds,” Dr. Gangel said, asking for authority to seek the supplemental appropriation from the supervisors. If the supervisors grant the petition, Dr. Gangel suggested that only $17,832 for the bleachers be expended immediately, maintaining that it’s “appropriate and safe” to count on state aid being that much more than expected. Then after reassessing enrollment in January or February, the School Board can make a decision on whether to spend the balance of the $46,000 for auditorium seating, he added. Board members Paul Nichols and Bryant Lee volunteered to accompany Dr. Gahgel and assistant superintendent Robert Chappell on a tour of gymnasiums in neighboring counties to assess the merits of plastic versus wood bleachers and the product quality of the various companies bidding to supply Rappahannock. The gymnasium bleachers and seats for the new auditorium are the last of the “big ticket” items not funded after the low bid for the high school expansion came in more than $168,000 over the literary loan awarded for the project. Even after cutting those items, the project was still $40,000 over budget. At last Tuesday’s meeting, the board authorized Dr. Gangel to proceed with soliciting bids for the auditorium seating. “We’re really not sure of the cost. It will help to get bids in so we know what we’re talking about,” he said, adding that estimates put the cost of new seating at around $48,700 and reconstructed seating at $30,020. In this instance, unlike with the gym bleachers, reconstructed seating “may actually be a better buy," the superintendent noted. Even with the additional $46,000 for bleachers and auditorium seats, the School Board will still be short for the high school expansion project. The list of “little ticket" items includes benches for locker rooms, tables and additional serving line for the cafeteria/kitchen and furniture for the guidance office reception area. “We’ll still have $7,700 to find in next year’s budget or in funds left over in this year’s budget,” Dr. Gangel said. Or possibly the county’s service clubs and organizations may make a donation to cover the remaining shortfall, chairman Beverly Massie added. (Last year, when it appeared the deficit might jeopardize the long delayed RCHS expansion, three families contributed a total of $2,700, which the board has tentatively earmarked for the auditorium seating.) Snow, low turnout lead Planners to continue public hearing on subdivision ordinance Despite snow, despite ice, despite high winds and treacherous driving conditions, Planning Commissioners A.Y. Stokes, Newbill Miller, Werner Krebser, John Clarke and Bob Anderson and secretary Cheryl Taylor made it to the courthouse for last Wednesday's advertised public hearing on the county’s revised subdivision ordinance. But practially ho one else did. Only perennial observer Phil Irwin and supervisor-elect Mike Massie braved miles of slick highways and only Washington resident Diane Bruce dared blocks of the slick sidewalks. Everyone else stayed home. So the Planning Commissioners agreed by consensus to continue the hearing to a second meeting set for Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m. But a few comments and one significant change came at the snow session. Mr. Irwin called the subdivision ordinance revision - done almost single handedly in about four months by administrative assistant John McCarthy under the guidance of the commissioners - “one of the best examples” of the wisdonTilTaedding - j.„ . to hire a “county administrator.” And Rappahannock was lucky to find Mr. McCarthy for the job, he added. ‘This is a good example of the type of staff work this county deserves ... I commend John for the work and I commend the document for your approval.” (Mr. McCarthy was not on hand to accept the compliments. It wasn’t snow but rather the arrival of a baby daughter bom earlier that afternoon at Fauquier Hospital that kept him away from the first Planning Commission meeting he’s missed since taking the administrative assistant’s post last year.) Although advocating approval, Mr. Irwin did restate his objection to the subdivision ordinance’s “wide open provision for family subdivisions.” He acknowledged that the state requires localities to allow exception to ordinance standards for transfer of land to spouse, parents or children. “But it deserves your continued attention,” he said, suggesting that transfers under the family exception provision be monitored for abuse and misuse. And at the same time, be asked the commissioners to “seek more local control from the state,” specifically the overturning of the Dillon Rule which reserves for state government all powers not specifically delegated to localities. “It requires everything in the state to be the same - every county to have a landfill, every county to develop whether it wants to or not... I believe in regional planning. I don’t believe every county ought to be Fairfaxed.” - Werner Krebser noted that Mr. McCarthy, in his role as zoning administrator, requires every recipient of a lot subdivided under the family transfer to sign an affidavit attesting to their'intention to live there. County regulations also stipulate that sale of this subdivided lot within a year may constitute evidence of intent to circumvent the ordinance and could thus invalidate approval of the division. As a further precaution, Dr. Krebser proposed that the affidavit note the state’s prohibition against receiving more than one lot anywhere in Virginia created through have both public water and public sewer.. _ ; I the family exception process. “I think it might already be in there, but it’s an administrative thing. It' it isn’t, we can ask John to include it,” said Commissioner Miller. Mr. Massie asked whether the one-year restriction against resale would apply if the lot created through the family transfer had a house already built on it. “Could they turn around and sell it the next day?” The restriction “addresses the real estate” and “applies whether it has a house on it or not," Mr. Miller replied. In the single change approved at Wednesday’s meeting, the commissioners upped the number of lots and reduced the lot size for the point at which developers must provide public utilities. Now under the proposed ordinance, subdivisions with lots smaller than five acres and more than live lots must have either public water or public sewer; subdivisions with lots of five acres and more than seven lots must have either public water or public sewer; subdivisions with lots smaller than five acres and more than 10 lots must GED testing in Warren county The General Educational Development (GED) tests, for those persons who were once enrolled in school but who did not complete graduation requirements, will be given on December 12. Testing will begin at 8:30 a.m., and end at 4:30 p.m. The test will be given in the Warren County Vocational Center. The tests, administered and supervised by the Adult Education Service of the Department of Education, are designed to measure the educational development of individuals who left school before graduation. The battery of five tests in English composition, social studies, natural science, literature and mathematics are designed to measure the < major skills that result from a fouryear high school curriculum. By achieving satisfactory scores on GED tests, adults may earn a high school equivalency certificate, qualify for admission to college or advanced educational opportunities, meet educational opportunities, meet educational requirements for employment or promotion, or satisfy educational qualifications for induction into the United States armed forces. Certificates may be issued to civilian and military personnel who meet the following requirements: An applicant must be at least 18 years of age. Under special circumstances which are considered justifiable by local school authorities, the age limit may be lowered. Applicants must have been a physical resident of Virginia 30 days prior to applying for testing. Persons interested in taking the test may apply at their local office of the superintendent of schools in the county in which they reside. Applications will be accepted through December 4. A fee of $15.00 is charged for the battery of five tests and $3.00 for each retest. Applicants who apply must present their Social Security card or another means of identification when an application is made for GED. Residents of Rappahannock County should call 987-8773 for additional information. k AMBHCAN ICANCERH SOCIETY ■ I Help a friend quit AT HOMEMAKERS' ACHIEVEMENT NIGHT, from left.

Hunting * <£ontinued from Page 1) from the stand as well. The Game Commission suggests that the blaze orange sash, tied to a tree above or jgekt to the stand, is an excellent w$y to alert other hunters to the presence of the hunter in the stand. T6 fulfill the 100 square inch requirement, suggested measurements of the sash are at least six inches wide l^r. 17 inches long. T The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, which oversees the Game Commission, has conducted tests which suggest that turkeys are not spooked by blaze orange sashes tied around a tree, even if the birds see the color moving. Turkey hunters are also required to wear the blaze orange clothing during the portion of fall turkey season which falls within the firearms deer season. Waterfowl hunters and individuals participating in field dog trials are exempted from the blaze orange law. Posting with paint Another law which became effective this year is a change in the fnethods which may be used to post property. Although the traditional Use of cardboard or metal “Posted” or “No Hunting” signs is still legal, the General Assembly this year approved another method. Now, property boundaries najtrked with a blaze of aluminum, Silver-colored paint, at least two inches wide by eight inches long, will be considered to have been posted “No Trespassing.” The blazes should bp put between three and six feet from the ground or water surface, and be visible to any person approaching the property boundary. The blazes must be posted on trees, Sot on fence posts, Warden iankston said. State Senator Kevin G. Miller (R-26), who sponsored the bill, said that the signs are too easy to destroy pr deface, and that the nails necessary to affix them damage or destroy trees and also present problems to loggers harvesting the timber. Sen. Miller sponsored the change as a lower-cost, no-maintePop quiz (Continued from Page 12) and went on to compete four more years before graduating to the U. S. Air Force Academy. “We believe that youth does not keep one from having a first class mind.” “Or memory,” Mrs. Wayland interjected. “And it certainly helps to have the first class reflexes of youth,” added Mr. Flinchum. Neither the Pop Quiz producers por the kids from the other schools knew anything about Rappahannock six years ago - even where to find it on a Virginia map, the RCHS English teacher told the School Board. “So they put us in Division I. They don’t care what our enrollment is or the condition of our buildings. All they know about us are the four or five kids from Rappahannock who show up at the studio.” Proving they belong in Division I and can hold their own against both public schools with double the enrollment and private schools touted for academics, the four Pop Quizzers fr$m RCHS have advanced twice to t$e quarter finals and once to the aeftii-finals in the months-long competition. Mr. r nnchum and Mrs. Wayland alflribute the team’s success partjally to natural ability and intelligence and partially to a unique training program. “It makes little sense for the varsity to practice against the junior varsity because the varsity is always going to win,” the English teacher said. So instead of matching the top four against the runners-up, the coaches pitted Rappahannock’s Pop Quiz team against adults - always. Opponents have included teachers, school administrators, lawyers, carpenters, writers, editors, computer analysts and retirees of widely varied backgrounds. The kids have won probably two-thirds of these matches and they’ve gained much more than a mastery of facts and a quick thumb on the buzzer. “It’s a little hard to be intimidated by another 16-year-old when your last opponent was a PhD in pathology!” Mr. Flinchum noted. He added that he and RCHS Principal John Toth are talking with representatives from other Bull Run D^trict schools about holding an invitation Pop Quiz tournament at R£HS. “Perhaps we can convince the rest of the district that this would be a worthwhile competition for ALL the schools.” Be Resourceful. Recycle. Snow nance alternative to the signs. . The Game Commission reminded property owners and hunters that the silver blazes may be used along with “Posted” signs, or by themselves. In either case property marked with the blazes will be considered by law enforcement officials as having been posted against trespassing under Virginia law. Bag limit increased This year, the Game Commission approved an increase in the bag limit per hunter for deer in Rappahannock County. Three deer will be allowed to be taken this season, with a maximum of one per day. At least one must be an antlerless deer. They may be taken only during the last 12 days of the season, when either sex may be taken. Warden Bankston also reminded hunters that firearms bear season does not begin until next Monday, Nov. 23. General laws unchanged There are a number of other laws regulating hunting in Rappahannock County which remain unchanged. The one which attracts the most attention each year is the ban on hunting from or within 100 yards of a road. It is also illegal to shoot OR ATTEMPT TO SHOOT ANY ANIMAL from a vehicle. Warden Bankston said that the Game Commission will continue to use the “Bambiscam” operation throughout the state this season. The stuffed deer proved an irresistible target last year to a number of roadhunters, who found themselves facing charges of illegal hunting. Spotlighting without the landowner’s permission, or ANY TIME while in possession of a firearm or other weapon, is also illegal. There is no hunting on Sunday. State law also prohibits hunting while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It is illegal to lure game by means of salt or any other bait, to use live birds or animals to decoy or lure game, or to call game with recorded or electronically amplified devices. Hunting or trapping on land without the owner’s permission is, of course, considered trespassing. Mutilating, defacing or destroying “Posted” signs or blazes is also an offense punishable by revocation by license. Littering while hunting is. also illegal. Hunters or residents with questions about hunting regulations, or who wish to report a violation should call the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department at 675-3331. Callers with situations requiring immediate assistance should call the department’s emergency-only number, 987-8525. The Game Commission has also established a 24-hour, toll-free hotline for Virginians to report suspected violations of game laws, 1800-572-5712. Reports made to the enforcement hotline are forwarded to local game wardens for investigation and action. Other dangers while hunting Though not as widely reported as accidents caused by shootings, there are other pitfalls of which hunters must be aware. Overexertion, caused by too much walking on steep mountain slopes by individuals not accustomed to vigorous exercise, each year causes heart attacks. Smoking or alcohol use can aggravate the situation, causing the hunter to tire more easily and putting more strain on the heart. Tired hunters are also more prone to missteps which can cause sprains and strains. While not common, falls also injure hunters. Whether it occurs on a steep hill or out of a tree, a fall can be a killer. Again, alcohol use and fatigue can inhibit balance and dull reflexes, making a fall more likely. Cold, particularly in the early morning, is the bane - some would say the price paid - by hunters. But when it becomes hypothermia or frostbite it is much more serious than a case of the shivers. Alcohol, though it creates the illusion of warmth, actually increases heat loss by dilating the blood vessels near the skin. Clothing and other tips Layers of clothing are warmer than one heavy coat, and can also be stripped off and replaced during periods of walking or waiting. Synthetic materials next to the skin wick away moisture more efficently than cotton, which loses its warmth when wet. Water- and windproof outer layers will also contribute greatly to warmth, even if they’re not heavy in bulk. If waterproof synthetics are not available, wool is a reasonable substitute in all but heavy rain. Waterproof footwear is also a good idea, especially in snow, wet leaves and thick grass. One pair of thick wool socks is better than several pairs of cotton ones. Make sure that the socks are not too thick for the boots, cramping the toes and impairing circulation. At best you’ll be uncomfortable, at worst it will contribute to frostbite. Remember, also, that as you dress after getting out of bed your feet are at their smallest. After walking some distance and then standing, they will swell. Allow space for that inside the boots. Stick an extra pair of socks, and maybe extra gloves, in an empty pocket. They may come in handy. And, in an emergency, the extra socks double as perfectly usable mittens. it you re hunting in unlanuhar territory, or are some distance from vehicle or houses, matches in a waterproof container and a couple of candy bars might come in handy if you get lost. Aluminum-foil type “space blankets,” in a package about the size of a bar of soap, might also come in handy if you get lost and have to spend some time outside. Though they look flimsy, they conserve heat efficiently, are wind and waterproof, and are easy to spot by searchers. However, you’ll never get it folded back up into the package. And make sure that someone at home knows where you’re going, and when you expect to return. If you’re staying later, or change your plans, tell that person. That way, if you have an accident or get lost, rescuers will have some idea where to look. And, if you’re wearing blaze orange, you should be easier to find.

C. school systems, where some children didn’t arrive home until almost midnight, and a few ended up spending the night at their schools. On Thursday, the school division put its new two hour delayed opening policy to the test, and Dr. Gangel reported that it passed with flying colors. “If it were ever to work, it was in a situation like this,” he said, explaining that officials’ major concerns were over ice remaining in the hollows and shady areas on the highways. Dr. Gangel said that the temperatures did not fall very low Wednesday night and that, coupled with the fact that the ground was still relatively warm, meant that sunshine Thursday morning, combined with a forecast of temperatures in the 50s, would melt the remaining snow and ice quickly. “We were very pleased,” the superintendent said, “with the way the new policy worked.” He pointed out that “it’s already put us out ahead.” Several neighboring school districts which cancelled school Wednesday and Thursday now have two snow days to make up, while Rappahannock is “still on schedule.” “It’s a call on individual situations,” Dr. Gangel said of the delayed opening policy. “We will continue to use it when we feel that it is appropriate to the situation.” The superintendent also reported that the new communications system recently installed in buses and school cars proved invaluable during the storm. As he travelledthroughout the county checking road' conditions, “it enabled me to keep in," contact with Mr. Chappell at the* School Board office, while he talked; with the highway department for; road updates,” Dr. Gangel said. « And, he added, he was able to re-*‘ quest help for a car which had slid ofC the road in front of him as he droveC along the Fodderstack Road. State Police reported no major problems with accidents in the; county, since most people either hadthe day off for Veterans Day or de-' cided to stay home when they real-v ized that the road conditions were’ deteriorating quickly. A number o£ cars slid off the road, but most were; property damage accidents. There; were no major injuries. Mr. Wingfield chuckled when' asked if the early snowfall means a; hard winter. “It all depends on the. jet stream.” He did caution that “it’s; not unusual for snowfall to follow a; warm spell at this tbne of the year,”; noting that the temperatures lastweek dropped from 76 on Sunday, to -- 66 on Monday, to 57 on Tuesday anddown to 37 degrees during the;> storm. < One Washington, D. C., meteo-^; rologist, however, reported last-; week that over the past 100 years,..'; there have been 13 occasions when,:more than two inches of snow felK during November. In 10 of those--; years, subsequent snow, accumula--; tions were deeper than normal. Ini; nine years, the accumulation for the: winter exceeded 36 inches. ; ■ Gatewood (Continued from Page 1) burg. The plea agreement was suggested by Gatewood’s lawyer, Charles Bowman. Ms. Watts told Judge Sullenberger that it was “appropriate,” because some of the circumstances would make it difficult for the Commonwealth to present “a clear and concise case” for the firstdegree murder charge. Those, she said, included the fact that several of the witnesses who were friendly to Gatewood first told investigators that Carter had been shot by “three white men in a green car,” and later recanted that story. She noted, as well, that the two men had fought earlier, that most of the participants and witnesses had been drinking, and that the murder weapon had not been found. >Judge Sullenberger accepted the plea agreement, noting that “Seer. ond-degree murder is in itself a very serious charge.” He also remarked that the agreement does not set an£ recommendation for length of sen* tence on the charge, which carries a maximum of 20 years. T Judge Sullenberger set sentence ing for Jan. 15, 1988, in Madison County Circuit Court. At Ms. Watts; request he also revoked Gatewood’s eligibility for bond.
