Weekend weather According to the National Weather Service, this week's deep freeze will grip 1 Rappahannock until the weekend, when ^ temperatures are predicted to slowly rise. Sunny skies will prevail, with Superbowl Sunday predicted to be a relatively balmy 45-50 degrees. Despite predictions, county is spared On Sunday evening, the newscasts from Washington were filled with somber meteorologists predicting up to a foot of snow in the Piedmont Virginia and Metropolitian D. C. area. Monday morning, county residents awoke to sleet and rain, which had turned to wet, sticky snow by early afternoon. Schools were dismissed at noort, and highway department trucks canvassed the county’s primary roads, their chains clipping against the slick roads. With temperatures hovering near freezing, and highway crews applying chemicals and abrasives, the evening ride home was slow but uneventful for most of the county’s residents. Sgt. M. I). Dowdy, State Police supervisor for the Warrenton Barracks, reported that there were a few fender-benders but no serious stormcaused accidents in Rappahannock. As the snow stopped early Tuesday morning, with an accumulation of less than five incnes, the temperature plummeted to near zero. Although the highway department had main roads clear and most secondary roads plowed, the falling temperatures combined with the wet snow caused slick road surfaces throughout the county. The danger from icy roads caused Superintendent Dr. David Gangel to cancel school on Tuesday as well. Because what little ice had melted during the day Tuesday was predicted to refreeze overnight into glare ice. by S p.m. Tuesday the announcement had been made that school was also cancelled on Wednesday. Sgt. Dowdy urged all motorists to continue to use caution while driving, although most roads are now clear.

Building permits increase 31 percent in 1987 Look at the raw numbers and you'll conclude that development is by-passing Rappahannock County: only b7 building permits were issued here for singlei family homes in 19N7. Eighty-seven permits wouldn’t cause a ripple ot | concern in Fauquier, Culpeper, and other nearby counties where residential subdivisions in the hundreds of units are now pending. But those N7 new single-family dwellings are “far and away the most ever i in Rapphannock County” in one year, Zoning Administrator John McCarthy told the Planning Commission last week. The total represents an increase of HI percent over building permits granted in and an increase of 85 percent over permits approved in 1986. And according to Mr. McCarthy’s report on subdivision and special permit activity for 19X7, the growth is coming largely outside of subdivision ordinance con trols. “At least half : . . and probably more” of the new homes built in 1!**7 are on “pre-existing subdivided j lots." Mr. McCarthy said. And of the new lots created j ii, 1P«7, almost tit* percent were subdivided through the family exception which al low's the transfer of two- j acre lots to parent, spouse, or child and exempts the parcel from most zoning and subdivision regulations. I See HOUSING, p. 12 I Panthers hand Clarke double defeats in Homecoming contests The Rappahannock Panthers handed Clarke County a pair of losses before an overflow crowd on Friday. The Rappahannock gym, bursting with fans at the snow-delayed Homecoming game, echoed with cheers all night long as the Panthers easily won both the varsity and junior varsity games. For the Panthers’ J V, it was particularly exciting, since the Eagles were undefeated in the Bull Run District before Friday’s game. The 54,-40 win put Rappahannock into second place in the standings, and dropped Clarke County into a threeway tie for first place with Page County and Central. Although Coach Gary Leake said that he felt the Panther varsity did not play up to its ability, he was obviously satisfied with the win, which moved Rappahannock into second place in Bull Run behind Central High School. “We got into foul trouble early, and committed way too many turnovers for this point in the Season.” He added that, so far this year, Clarke County has had a problem with turnovers, “and maybe we played too much on their level.” “You’ve got to go through the thorns to get to the rose,” he said of the Rappahannock effort, “but Pm not liking it.” > Coach Leake attributed part of the problem to the emotion of the Homecoming game. “I think they got caught up with the crowd and tried a little too hard. It took us out of our game plan.” ; That emotion cost the Panther starters dearly, with the team committing a total of 36 fouls during the .game. Forward Anthony Porter fouled out, and Mike Dearing, Godfrey Freeman, Julian Groves and Eric Dunn ended the game with four fpuls each. I The referees, Coach Leake said, Ivamed both teams before the game that they were going to call a close >^ime, “and they did.” But he said that the constant whistles interrupted the flow of the game, and the players were unable to be as aggressive as they thought they should be. : Inaccurate shooting by the Clarke team may have saved the Panthers, since the Eagles shot only 47 percent of their free throws, sinking just 21 of 45. “Clarke County had a heck of a good team,” the coach said, with an average of four players in double figures in each game. “We did a good job of limiting their offense to one field goal attempt each time t'hey went flowncburt." Again, the Eagles failed to capitalize on those first-shot opportunities, hitting just 1(5 of their 5f> shots from the floor for a dismal 29 percent average. With the Panthers coming up with the rebounds, that control of the game under the boards was one of the bright spots Coach Leake saw in his team’s effort, despite the turnovers and fouls. With (>' (5" Godfrey Freeman and (>' 5” Butch Foster, “the Eagles had no one to go up against them,” and Rappahannock showed a 42-29 edge in rebounds. However, Coach Leake did not see the rebounds as a plus. "We shot poorly from the floor, and we wouldn’t have gotten that many unless we had poor shooting." On the offensive end of the court, Hutch Foster led the Panthers with IX points, followed by Doug Smith with 15 and Eric Dunn with 14. Dunn continues to pace the Panther offense, consistently leading the team with scoring totals in double figures. The junior ranks second in the Bull Run District in points scored. Doug Smith, said Coach Leake, is a perfect example of the depth of Rappahanru* k News photo'Cindy Mahan SHOWING THE HUNGER which has typified Rappahannock’s play this season. Anthony Porter looks for a pass during the Clarke County game last Friday. Rappahannock’s, t^am. He came off the bench for those 15 points, and eight rebounds, after Freeman got into foul trouble. Smith took over Freeman's starting position after an injury sidelined Godfrey earlier this season, but has since relinquished the position after the big center’s recovery. "That’s an example of ^vhat 1 mean by the contributions of all the team members,” Coach Leake said. Smith’s effort was a career high for the senior. One player has an offnight, and someone else is ready to step in and they pick up the position, he said. “They respond very well.” As a bonus, he added, everyone on the team got to play before the Homecoming crowd. "Getting that time made an excellent Homecoming game.” The junior varsity also had an excellent Homecoming, easily outscoring Clarke by 54-40. Point leaders for the Panthers were Phillip Daczewitz with 13 and James Roy with 11. Coach Leake had high praise for the junior Panthers, who have "really come along.” With only two players returning, it’s been a rebuilding year for the JV, but the win Friday moved the team to second place in the district. Coach Leake gave a lot of the credit to the team’s freshman coach, Dee Van Horn. “He’s worked with the guys, they practice the fundamentals during their workouts, and it shows up in their games. He’s built a program which will be a major contributor to the varsity program in the future.” Rappahannock’s junior varsity is now 5-4 in district play on the year. Stonewall falls, 60-57 Last week it was Stonewall Jackson’s turn to fall to the Panthers when they lost on their home court by three points. Coach Leake called the Win especially satisfying since the visitors were behind at the half. He said that his halftime talk centered on what the team needed to play effective defense — and what they lacked. “We discovered that we did have what we needed — heart — and went out in the second half and turned the game completely around.” Eric Dunn and Butch Foster again led the Panther attack, contributing 15 and 13 points, respecSee HOMECOMING, p. 12 Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan CROWNING THE QUEEN: Mr. Cheshire makes the honor official, with escort Butch Foster and crownbearer Adam Updike in attendance.

Bloodmobiles top quota Local area residents have responded enthusiastically to the Red Cross’s appeal for blood, says George Borjes, Fauquier Chapter blood services chairman. In the two bloodmobiles last week donors exceeded the quota. At Marshall 69 units (pints) were col T lected against a goal of 45, and at Warrenton, 89 units against a goal of 75. This is the first time that a bloodmobile at either locality has exceeded the quota in this fiscal year that began last July. These two successes, coming on top of a fruitful blood drive recently at Vint Hill Farms Station, has boosted the Fauquier Chapter total in this fiscal year to 847 units, 92 percent of the goal of 925, Mr. Borjes said.

The registrar’s office at the Courthouse in Washington will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, to register new voters or record changes of address. Mrs. Kilby said that address changes of voters already registered are also important, since it often means a change of location for voting. In addition, she said, there are several guidelines which young, first-time voters should be aware of. Anyone who will be 18 or older by March 8 will be allowed to vote in all elections this year. Those voters who turn 18 after March 8 may register, and will be allowed to vote in the presidential primary on March 8. They also will be able to vote in the June 14 statewide primary and the general election on Nov. 8. Mrs. Kilby said that those voters whose birthdays fall after the March 8 primary date will be given a written notice when they register that they are allowed to vote in the presidential preference primary. The registrar also reminded voters that the presidential primary is a closed election; that is, that voters must select whether they wish a Republican or a Democratic ballot.* Since registration in Virginia does not include indication of party affiliation, the voter is free to choose which ballot he wishes, regardless of his party affiliation. Following the March 8 primary, registration for the other elections later this year will reopen.

Emmanuel Church deconsecrated, sold By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New» Staff Writer It is, perhaps, an unfortunate - Sign of the times. In years past, almost every hollow. in the county had at least one church, each with a loyal congregation which arrived by horse and carriage for services every Sunday. Even after the arrival of automobiles, the church parking lot and the pews inside were invariably overflowing with parishioners, most of whom had attended the church their entire lives. ‘ ’ Many were baptized, confirmed, mSrried, eulogized and buried within the spiritual arms of that stnfte community church. Then came the Shenandoah Natibnal Park, which broke up many of the old hollow communities when fattiilies which had lived in the shadows of the Blue Ridge for generations were forced to move. For others, higher pay and shorter hours than the dawn-fco-dusk farm life lured them and their families from the county for jobs and new hones “down country.” The county’s old community churches, faced with shrinking congregations and climbing maintenance bills, can no longer afford to dffe/r their neighbors the sanctuary qfitheir parsonages. As time passes, aiie by one the old churches are closing their doors for the last time. borne years ago, the Methodist Chtirch in Washington was deconsecrated. It is now the town’s official but unused Town Hall, serving solely as a thrift shop for the Washinjj^ton Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary. A storage room in the Basement holds supplies for the town’s water system. 'Much the same fate befell the town’s Presbyterian Church on Gay Sstfeet, which now welcomes the community again as the Rappahannlobk County Library. f'ln Flint Hill, the Methodist Church stands as only a monument to'its past; empty and forlorn, its windows are boarded against vandafs. ^ ’Oakley Baptist Church, in Gid Bfown Hollow, held one final service last summer before it was closed and its contents auctioned as mementos. The auction’s proceeds were donated td the Shiloh Baptist Association, to which the church belonged. Piedmont Baptist, a once-thriving; church in the F. T. Valley, cut back to one service a year and is barely surviving. Most of its congregation has died or moved away, and ^-he few remaining now attend larger churches in the neighboring towns.

Photo courtesy of Sean Kilpatrick BEGINNING A NEW LIFE, Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Sperryville will be renovated and become a crafts center. Deconsecration is a little-known rite in the church’s liturgy, explained Maurice Herndon, the senior warden at Trinity Episcopal Church, who also attended the service. It formally removes the blessing, or consecration, which is placed on the structure and the parcel of land when it becomes a church. Often, the use of what was formally a house of worship for a secular pursuit is unsettling to people who have known the structure as a church. The ceremony of deconsecration, Mr. Herndon said, “eases the pain of the passing.” Emmanuel was one of three Episcopal churches in the county serving Bromfield Parish. Of the three, only Trinity Episcopal in Washington survives. St. Paul's Church in Woodville was destroyed by a tornado in 1929 and was never rebuilt. Only the cemetery and a monument commemorating the church remains. Emmanuel, in Sperryville, built in the country Gothic style in 1901. was last used as a church in 1957. Since then it has •■ -»at,- v«eant, awaiting resurrection' " Finally, after more than 30 years, that second life arrived in the form of two Episcopalians, John and Judy Tweel of Springfield, Va.

They plan to renovate the former church and establish a craft center in the building. Tentatively, the business will be known as “The Churchmouse,” Mr. Tweel said. “We know that it will be sad for old church members to See the building sold,” Mrs. Tweel said, “but we hope to return it to use for the community and save it frcun further decay.” Mr. Tweel added that “we didn’t ask the church to sell it. . . Several people submitted bids, and ours just happened to be the highest. And I believe that what we intend to do with the building will probably be of most benefit to the town, and a proper and benefitting use of the building.” The Churchmouse is planned as a craft store, but not just a place where people can buy crafts. The Tweels envision more of a craft sup ply center, a place where those interested in trying their hand can find the materials to do the work. And the “Cricket on the Hearth” area they also propose will offer an opportunity for craft work to be done on the premises. “We hope to contribute to the continued growth and prosperity of Sperryville, and eventually to become full members of the community,” Mr. Tweel said. A retired Navy Commander, he now works for Advanced Technology Inc. as a systems analyst. Mrs. Tweel majored in music and later taught in Norfolk. She now has a craft business and travels to shows throughout the area. They have two children, John Jr., a student at Georgia Tech, and Catherine, who attends high school in Springfield.

By SANDRA CARTWRIGHTBROWN Rappahannock News Contributing Writer On Tuesday, Jan. 26, the Russian airline Aeroflot delivered 100 Soviet citizens to Washington, D. C. The visitors are here to attend a “Citizens’ Summit” in Washington from Feb. 15. Also attending the summit meeting will be 150 Americans whose professional credentials match those of the Soviet participants, and 300 American delegates who are the financial qwnsors for the guests. The Russians are here to organize joint projects between the two countries for the benefit of humanity, according to the Center for Soviet-American Dialogue, the Washington-based foundation overseeing the meetfog- fogOn Wednesday, Jan. 27, 11 of the Soviet visitors arrived in Rappahannock County for a fiveday visit. Several county families have offered to serve as hosts for the visitors during their stay, including Brad and Dawn Fisher of Washington, Pat and Dick Helmer of Castleton, Maurice and Jane Herndon of Sperry ville, Dalton and Robin Kevis of Washington and Norman and Sandra Cartwright-Brown of Slate Mills. Accompanying the Soviet delegation is Phyllis Grimes, acting secretary and assistant administrator for the Center. She will serve as liaison between the Rappahannock hosts, the visiting Russians and the Center. Early this week, the Soviet government released the names and some biographical information about the Russian delegation to the summit. The 11 who will visit Rappahannock County are: Elina Bystritskaya: an actress and artist with the USSR Theatre. Valentin Chemyikh: a Soviet filmmaker who won an Academy Award (Best Foreign Film) for his Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. Efam Gamburg: a director of animated cartoons.

Audit Bureau ot Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 28,1988 Editorial Careful consideration On Monday, the county’s Board of Supervisors will consider amendments and additions to the Virginia ^Department of Transportation’s six-year secondary road plan. At the top of the department’s project list, according to Robert Moore, the county’s resident engineer, is the widening and four-laning of Rt. 211 between Washington and Sperry ville. Although the project is already a part of the highway department’s schedule, with construction on the first phase (Washington to .2 miles west of Rt. 622) set to begin sometime in 1989, we urge the supervisors and the highway department to give the plan careful consideration. During the past few months, a number of residents have written “Letters to the Editor” outlining arguments both in favor of and against the proposed widening. Both sides have persuasive arguments. In favor of-the plan, it’s hard to argue that there are not times when an additional lane would smooth the flow of traffic from Shenandoah National Park to Washington. And the large trucks which ply the road would cause less anxiety if they were separated from oncoming traffic by a median strip. > On the other side, there’s no denying that the estimated four years of construction would entail traffic delays which would probably be worse than those now limited to a few fall weekends. The right-of-way acquisition would also gobble up some of the roadside beauty along the way. What would be the effect on the roadside stands between Washington and Sperryville if drivers were travelling a fourlane highway rather than a scenic rural road? And wouldn’t high-traffic areas like the Farmers’ Co-op and the high school still require acceleration and deceleration lanes for traffic entering and exiting the highway? How about the speed limit? It’s human nature to travel faster on divided highways than on two-lane roads. Will that increased speed make the road more, rather than less, dangerous? What about the effect of the construction itself on the scenic beauty of the county? One of the reasons people visit Rappahannock is for its unspoiled beauty. There’s precious little of that in a construction project. Will our visitors feel like they’ve somehow taken a wrong turn and ended up back on the never-completed Capital Beltway? And would a four-lane highway really draw more traffic to Sperryville? Those drivers interested in the fastest route to the Valley already drive 1-66 to Front Royal. The people likely to stop and enjoy Sperryville are probably those who enjoy a leisurely drive through the country on what’s left of two-lane Rt. 211. Then there’s the cost of the project. Is the estimated $13 million to widen the six-mile stretch really the best use of the money for the county? Would it be better to spread the money around to improve some of the county’s existing secondary roads? There are still stretches on Rt. 522 north of Flint Hill which could use help, particularly since trucks still use it as a detour around the construction on Rt. 17 in Fauquier County. That’s another point. When that project is finished — which is soon, we hope — Some of the truck traffic which now makes Rt. 211 so dangerous will again use that route from I66, rather than the detour across Chester Gap. There are convincing arguments for widening the highway. We, however, counsel the supervisors to consider the project carefully. Proposed development is something to . which they, as the county’s leaders, always give careful consideration, and highway expansion is development just as sure as a subdivision project is. Will the project, over the long term, really benefit the county? Development is also something which, once done, can never be taken back. Is this really a development project whose time has come? Save our dirt roads By MARC MALIK Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Many of our secondary road routes in Rappahannock have been here for 200 years or more. Very few have been added in the past 100 years and it is unlikely that any will be added in the future. These narrow tree-lin<jd roadways with fine old stone walls are an important part of our Rappahannock heritage, a resource that is being ' lost at a quickened pace now that • more funds are available from Vir• ginia’s added gasoline tax. The sixyear plan of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) for Rappahannock County includes re grading and paving an additional 15 miles of our approximately 100 miles of unpaved secondary roads at an estimated cost of $1,500,000. The eligibilty for funds is based on traffic counts; after a certain volume of use is reached it is more economical to maintain the roadways if they are paved. Major road improvements are decided on by VDOT in conjunction with the county’s Board of Supervisors and the residents of Rappahannock County through the six-year plan. This plan is updated annually. After the VDOT decision is made and the county Board of Supervisors approves the plan, adjacent land Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter AS THE SNOW BEGINS to fall, it covers a herd of cows like a dusting of powdered sugar. Letters to the editor Prophecy on a limb ^kj:he editor: Some time ago, I Went out on a limb in a letter to this paper, writing about an ancient Chinese prophecy I had interpreted which gives a yearby-vear account of newsworthy events up through the coming nuclear war (1991-92) and into the setting up of God’s Government, a planetary representative government of all nations built on the United States model (1993-94). 1 told about a cometary event to take place during 1987. The prophecy said, “Suddenly a comet! Bodes ill for the Northeast.” Now, I assumed something catastrophic since there are an average of eight new comets discovered every year . . . plus old ones returning. But I suppose that if something which looked like a comet suddenly appeared over Rappahannock County, few would argue that the prophecy was not fulfilled. Well, such an event was reported in the news as having been observed in China! And as to trouble in the Northeast (which I felt was in the New York-Philadelphia-Washington, D.C., area) “Black Monday” took care of that ... the stock market meltdown has upset the entire world's economy, and is perhaps the most newsworthy event in a great number of years. I had said that this comet was to be a sign of the coming “Daystar,” a feminine representative of the Third Person of the Trinity, known as the. Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, and who embodies all of the feminine and motherly aspects of the divine . . . God. our mother. I had said that this daughter spirit (a “super-angel”) wa£ to materialize in the likeness of the flesh as a young, brown-skinned woman. I feel, however, that I must now’ hedge on the date of her first appearance. The Chinese prophecy intermeshes with the Old Testament’s prophetic Festival of Tabernacles, 1987 representing the first “day” (each prophetic day stands for a year) of that nine-year-long (with the addition of Sh’mini, Atzeret and Simchat) celebration of the final "harvest.” Those who read the Bible may know that Jesus made his initial appearance as teacher of the new way to the religious authorities representing the older way during this festival. But because Jesus’ “time was not yet full come” he did not make his first appearance until “the midst of the feast.” In the Chinese prophecy, the Daystar appears on the year corresponding to the fourth day of Tabernacles (1990). Her relationship to the first day of that event (1987, and the year of the Harmonic Covergence) is found only in an accompanying I Ching hexagram, and simply shows her “fluttering down.” Jesus, in his time, was accused of working in “secret” by his brothers when the day for Tabernacles to begin drew near. The Daystar may be doing the same now that her time has arrived. The “harvest” angel of Revelations makes his/her only appearance in the clouds above the earth, but in Joel the angel who holds the sickle is told, “Get you down.” Song of Solomon presents the “sister-spouse” of Christ in a totally human form, picturing her as “black and beautiful,” and she is called “the fairest among women.” Many think this is a description of the Christian church! But Shulamite is seen dancing in the nude. Many Christians have long believed that Tabernacles was of some great, but yet not understood, symbolic significance for the “end-time” which the signs show is now virtually upon us. That its timing is to be found in a Chinese prophecy makes sense when we remember that it was only “the wise men from the East” who knew the time and place of Jesus’ birth, the significance of the Bible prophecies was not understood by the Jews. China is due east of Israel! My translation for the 1990 prophecy says, “The atomic-end must be, but not yet/For righteousness I give a river and mountain/A woman is beside the water facing the sun, personally visiting/ Dangerous transformation into era of peace and comfort/Observe public festival.” “Shelter and assist/Don’t be mean-spirited, be statesmen/All will end if God’s vessel is wanting - not used.” In 1988 it would appear that China gets a new leader (possibly named “Wu”). And there will perhaps be a peace-summit visit by the President. Closer relations are likely to develop between Taiwan and the Mainland government. But I haven’t personally translated this poem/prophecy yet. The Chinese New Year does not begin until Feb. 14, however. Happy Year of the Dragon to Rappahannock County on that date. PETER B. HOLLEY Boston and Honolulu, HI Say ‘No!’ to 4-Lane 211 To the editor: We urge all who are interested in halting plans to widen Route 211 tq attend the Board of Supervisors1 meeting on Monday, Feb. 1, at 10 a.m. at the Washington courthouse. At that time, the Board of Supervi-> sors will be holding its annual road hearing for the purpose of updating the county’s six-year road plan. We feel that safety issues can be addressed by constructing deceleration lanes at heavily trafficked points (like the Farmers’ Co-op and, the Child Care and Learning Center) and through construction of ad*equate highway shoulders. We doubt whether, in the long run, the proposed widening of the^ road into a four-lane thoroughfarq., would in fact bring the town of Sper-. ryville more of the quality tourism that its merchants are seeking. On the contrary, we are certain ' that such a move would prove harm- > ful to the magnificent rural beauty * that brings tourists to the county ifi ’» the first place. » J JOHN & STELLA \ CADWALADER J Woodville Viewpoints “Vieicpoints" is presented as a contribution to the public dialogue bg the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. owners are contacted to donate the right-of-way. Most of the time the owners are happy to donate because paving provides a roadway that is dust free, smooth, initially cost effective to maintain, and in general increases land values because it makes the property more desirable for development and sale. VDOT’s minimum standard for paving secondary roads indoles regrading the present surface and widening to 18 feet. When the shoulders and ditches are added the total roadway prism reaches 30 feet in width. This requires removal of most of the trees, stone walls and split rail fences that give our country roads their historic appearance and keeps the traffic speed down. Vl^OT will not pave and widen roads unless free ownership of a 40 to 50-foot right of way is donated. Those of us making this decision in the next few years need to consider the long range effects of paving our country roads. One needs only to drive some of our paved secondary roads to understand that this may not be the best alternative. In many cases the smooth surface allows speeds to increase and creates a dangerous road. Wildlife also suffers as the “road-kill increases. These paved roads remain scenic and accessible to the public so there is increased use by tourists, bicyclists, and those who prefer to take the paved route. So, the vehicles not only move faster, there are more of them. Those that want Rappahannock to stay as it is will see greater pres sures for land division and increased population because of the paved roadways. The historic roads will no longer be suitable for horses, and the character of the countryside will be changed. This may be so critical that our county’s comprehensive plan should designate roads to remain unpaved. Once a road is paved the only repair is more pavement, and as we have fewer dirt roads there will be less need to keep the equipment and personnel that now maintain them. We have the option to keep our dirt roads and maintain them with the conviction that dirt roads are beautiful. With this approach we can lower speed limits to 25 mph so they are safer, less dusty and will require less maintenance. If we conserve our dirt roads VDOT could keep and improve the equipment and personnel they have. Funds that would have been used for paving could be used to recondition the road base so periodic grading will be more effective. The use of dust retardants (such as liquid calcium chloride) might well encourage additional public support for saving the beauty of our dirt roadways. The six-year plan is updated an- ' nually with public hearings used as. ! part of the decision process. If the route does not serve as a major link ' to the roadway network the decision ; to pave is strictly a local decision of the general public, the landowners, and our Board of Supervisors. So it’s up to us if we are concerned about preserving our dirt roads. Public hearings for updating the six-year plan will be held early this year. We, are all invited. > ■m —-* ■ * Marc Malik has been a land^ scape architect with the National* Park Service for 26 years. He anfZ his wife Laurie are residents of Gi<& Brown Hollow.

Legislative reports Priorities for support ^By DEL. ANDY GUEST R-31st Today is D-Day - the deadline for us in the General Assembly to submit all of our legislative initiatives and requests to be drafted into what we all hope is clear concise language that will solve constituent problems and not create more. However, when nearly 48 percent of all Virginia’s legislators are lawyers by profession, it makes it that much more difficult to keep things simple. Common sense looks different in legalese! Nevertheless, among the issues that I will support this year are: • A bill calling for a voter referendum to allow horse racing and parimutuel betting in Virginia. Each year more horse breeders in the Commonwealth leave the state to set up business in states where racing is legal. A majority of those who make their living contributing to this $300 million Virginia industry, as well as many of my constituents, have asked me to take their plight to the legislature. A similar voter referendum was narrowly defeated at the polls in 1978. It is the opinion of the horse industry that the atmosphere is right for another chance to save a valuable economic asset in Virginia. • The Virginia Horse Council would like to establish an Import/ Export Equine Quarantine Station at Dulles Airport. I will put in a study resolution to research the feasibility of such a facility. • As we know, the executive and legislative branches are famous for mandating programs to localities and then playing Scrooge when it comes to funding the state’s fair share for these programs. I’ll be introducing a bill on behalf of the Warren County Department of Social Services to instruct the state to set spending priorities to fund its mandated programs first, then spend the balance on local option programs. • Warren and Rappahannock counties have asked to be included in the Public Defender system and I have introduced a bill to do this. I support similar proposals in Loudoun and Fauquier counties and Del. Ken Rollins is introducing a bill on that subject. • Last year I served as chairman of a study committee for the State Crime Commission to explore the feasibility of extending educational programs through the Department of Corrections to local jails which house state-convicted felons. When bed space is unavailable in state correctional facilities, local jails bear the burden of housing these inmates. I think it’s only fair that these local jails receive the same state correctional inmate assistance programs. To help accomplish this goal, I will be asking for $200,000 over the biennium to help local jails fund their educational costs. If you have an opinion on these or other issues before the Assembly during the session, you may call my office in Richmond — (804) 786-7395 — or write to me at my office: Room 614, General Assembly Building, 910 Capitol Square, Richmond 23219.

Budget needs no new tax By SEN. KEVIN MILLER R-26th Due to a healthy economy and low unemployment in Virginia, the Governor’s proposed budget of $22.5 ' billion in spending for the 1988-90 biennium does not call for a tax increase, but it does represent a 20 percent increase in spending over the 1986-88 biennium budget of $18.7 billion. We are fortunate to have sufficient revenues available to meet some of the critical needs of the Commonwealth, Virginia is one of very few states not having a veterans home or cemetery, but no money was included in the budget to meet these needs, even though federal matching funds are available. This is disturbing to Virginia’s approximately 671,000 veterans who continue to see Virginia remain near the bottom in the nation in spending for veterans’ needs based on the number of citizens who are veterans. -Building? paint ^ Lumber Millwork ^ Hardware H Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY WARRENTON BUILDING MATERIAL CO., INC. on the by-pass, Warrenton 347-1400 Adding to this frustration is the knowledge that the government did see fit to include $5.5 million to fund a “sex-ed” curriculum that it appears a great majority oppose, $6 million for a park and zoo at Roanoke, and $5 million for a museum in Henry County. The cost of any one of these projects would almost equal the cost of developing a veterans’ home and cemetery.

Suthard, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police, reports that preliminary statistics indicate 11 persons lost their lives on Virginia’s highways during the New Year’s holiday period compared to 20 for a similar four-day period last year. Three pedestrians were among the fatalities. Of those eight killed as' a result of vehicle crashes, only one was wearing safety restraints. Five of the crashes involved alcohol. Tentative figures indicate that there were 101 fewer fatalities in 1987 than in 1986. As of December 31, 1,017 people were reported killed as a result of motor vehicle crashes in 1987, compared to 1,118 in 1986. “I truly hope the reduction in fatalities this past year is a result of more people wearing their safety belts,” said Colonel Suthard. “Let’s remember to buckle up this year so we may look forward to even fewer fatalities in 1988.” Virginia’s seat belt law took effect Jan. 1. f YOU CAN AFFORD A NEW HOME!

Super Bowl Sunday snacks By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics Super Bowl XXII will be played Sunday in San Diego between the Washington Redskins and the Denver Broncos. Families and friends will gather to watch the game on TV. Where there are gatherings, regardless of the occasion, there is food. Super Sunday Football is certainly no different. Finger foods are always popular. As the tensions mount, hunger pangs increase. Here are some Super Sunday Treats: Several readers have requested my recipe for Taco Dip. This is really several dips layered and topped with other ingredients to give a very colorful and mouth-watering dish that is served with plain or nacho tortilla chips. Taco Dip 2 cans bean dip or recipe below Avocado Dip Taco Sour Cream Dip 16 oz. can pitted ripe olives (sliced) 1-2 medium tomatoes, chopped Small bunch green onions chopped, using some of the green stems Chopped lettuce 2 cups grated cheddar cheese In place of the two cans of bean dip, the following recipe will do nicely. Bean Dip 1 Tbsp. salad oil 15 oz. can refried beans + small amount.of water 1 Tbsp. diced onion Salt to taste Pinch of garlic salt 1/2 cup shredded cheese In a saucepan, heat oil, add beans, mix with a little water. Stir in onions, salt, garlic salt. Add cheese, allow to melt. Heat until beans are Slightly thickened. If you prefer a nippy dip, add 1-2 minced Jalapeno chiles to the bean dip before spreading on plate. Avocado Dip 3 ripe avocados 1 tomato, peeled, seeded 1 small red onion, finely diced 1 tablespoon chopped hot Jalapeno pepper Dash of ground coriander 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon vinegar 2 tablespoons salad oil l\easpoon salt Mince avocados and tomato. Stir in all other ingredients. You can use scooped-out avocado shells for serving dishes if this is to be served at table. For cocktail parties use a pretty bowl. If made ahead of time, put avocado seeds in mixture to keep it green. Taco Sour Cream Dip 16 oz. sour cream 1 pkg. Taco Mix Mix taco mix and sour cream until well blended. Refrigerate at least several hours. Overnight is better. Tomatoes Chop the tomatoes, paying special attention to removing all of the EXTRA LOW PRICES!

With age, the body becomes less able to respond to the cold. As a result, even relatively mild cold weather can cause some older people to develop accidental hypothermia, a drop in body temperature to 95° or below that can be fatal if it is not detected and treated promptly. Certain diseases and drugs can make a person more vulnerable to this condition. The only sure way to detect hypothermia is to use a special low-reading thermometer, available in most hospitals. A regular thermometer will do as long as you shake it down well. If the temperature is below 95°F or does not register, get emergency medical help. Other signs to look for are: a change in appearance or behavior during cold weather; slow, and sometime irregular, heartbeat; slurred speech; shallow, very slow breathing; sluggishness; and confusion. Treatment for accidental hypothermia consists of rewarming the person under a doctor’s supervision, preferably in a hospital. The best precautions against hypothermia are:' • Dress warmly even when indoors, eat enough food, and stay as active as possible. • Because hypothermia may start during sleep, keep warm in bed by wearing enough clothing and using blankets. • Ask 'your doctors whether some of the medications you take--especially those to treat anxiety, depression, nervousness, or nausea -might affect your body temperature. • Have friends or neighbors look in on you regularly, particularly during a cold spell. Some communities have a telephone check-in or personal visit service for the elderly or homebound. Caution, common sense, and prompt medical care can help older people to have a healthy winter.

School Sales drive for bus radios By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer Rappahannock County Elementary School is gearing up for its annual magazine campaign. The students will attempt to make this the most successful year of all because 40 percent of the total sales will go to equipping buses which will need two-way radios. Five buses have been equipped with these radios through the efforts of the PTA and the elementary school this year. Bus drivers, parents and students now know the safety benefits of having two-way communication. Martha Kid well, RCES secretary and chairman of the drive, announced that the kick-off will be an assembly Feb. 11 at 2 p.m. John Jones, QSP representative, will speak to fourth through seventh graders about the whos, whats, and whys of selling magazines. Students will see many of the prizes that they may earn by selling magazines. The student who has sold the most subscriptions when the drive ends Feb. 23 will have a choice of several gifts. Mrs. Kidwell will collect money from the students every day. Students will receive prizes for each subscription sold. Several magazines, such as Readers Digest, offer prizes in addition to the regular subscription prize. "Magazine prices are very competitive. Many specials are being offered," said Principal Maggie Piper. Better Homes and Gardens is 28 percent off the regular price. McCall's is 44 percent off the single-copy cost, Xewsu'eek is 77 percent off its cover price and Time is 70 percent off the cover price, she said. Records and tapes will also be available. Renewal orders can also be taken by the students by clipping the mailing label from the magazine and attaching it to the order form. Mrs. Kidwell and Mrs. Piper are concerned that not all residents will be contacted. Anyone who isn’t contacted but wishes to subscribe is urged to call the school at 987-8259 and arrangements will be made. “You're getting something for your money as well as helping bus communications,” Mrs. Piper said.

In its second year, Arts on the Road brings professionals from the fields of theater, music, and the visual arts to communities outside the Commonwealth’s major metropolitan areas. The artists spend two days performing, conducting workshops, and giving lectures and demonstrations in schools, parks and civic clubs. The Virginia Commission for the Arts provides the artists and underwrites their fees; the sponsoring community provides room, board, and appropriate performance and workshop facilities. The Commission’s selection criterion is simple: to be chosen as a sponsor, a community must have demonstrated enthusiasm for the arts. The selection of Rappahannock as one of this year’s six sponsors is recognition of the local commitment to promoting arts and artists, said Anne Stephens, director of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, which made the program request on the county’s behalf. Rappahannock could be host for three from Arts on the Road’s six offerings. In addition to Cornerstone Theater, which will perform here Feb. 12 and 13, RAAC selected cellist Vsevolod Lezhnev and weaver Nancy Garretson, both scheduled this spring. ‘An exclusive’ Cornerstone Theater Company, a - nationally recognized touring group that gives extended residencies in small American towns from the Blue Ridge to the Rockies, departs from its standard format for Arts on the Road. The 10 members of Cornerstone usually stop in a town for a month to three months at a time, training local people as cast and crew for their productions of new works and revived classics. “Our goal is to go into different American communities, learn what makes good theater, and try to inspire a love of theater in new and varied audiences. We tailor our productions to the needs and interests of the communities we visit,” explained Bill Rauch, director and founder of the McLean-based group. “We take everything we’ve learned by going out and working with people - what they enjoy - and we’re able to apply it.” “What’s great about this minitour to Rappahannock and the five other Virginia communities is that we can reach a lot more people a lot quicker,” Mr. Rauch continued. “In two weeks, we can reach as many people as would normally take four months.” Cornerstone will present a specially staged version of A Midsummer Night's Dream at Washington’s Gay Street Theater on Saturday, Feb. 13. This new treatment of Shakespeare’s comedy promises the unexpected. “An exclusive! It will be a pretty wacky production,” the director said. Actors will play the central characters - two pairs of lovers - and puppets will comprise the rest of the cast. “It’s going to be a fun show,” Mr. Rauch said, adding that making it fun is of primary importance to Cornerstone. “Part of our theory about teaching diverse audiences to love theater is to teach each audience to interpret a production as they like,” he explained. “Just because it’s written as a tragedy doesn’t mean each member of the audience will respond to it that way.” Cornerstone maintains that people should react to art individually in the way that excites them without necessarily following convention, according to the group’s founder. A Midsummer Night's Dream is not the only production Cornerstone will bring to Rappahannock. The touring group will also present / Can't Pay the Rent on Friday, Feb. 12, at the elementary school in two performances for younger theatergoers. The show was developed by Cornerstone to expose an audience to a variety of theater genres. The same story is presented 15 times by three actors, transformed each time by changes in sets, props, lighting, and other tools of the theater trade. 1 Can’t Pay the Rent is aimed at kids, but adults also enjoy it, Mr. Rauch noted. “We get 45 minutes to tell kids everything we want to tell them about theater - and make it fun.” Cornerstone’s members plan eventually to give up the vagabond life and settle down as a resident company, so the brief stints with Arts on the Road are valuable because of the opportunity to work together and hone their acting talents. In their usual extended residencies, they work with local people who often lack theater experience. During this Virginia tour sponsored by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, Cornerstone’s, players will rehearse and perform only with theater professionals - themselves. “That’s incredibly important, and it’s exciting for us,” concluded Mr. Rauch. Tickets for the Cornerstone Theater Company's Feb. 13 performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream are on sale for $3 each at Culpeper Music Center on Main Street in Culpeper, Burke's Store in Woodville, the Village Cafe in Washington, and Picture This Gallery in Warrenton, or by mail from the RAAC office, P.O. Box 24, Washington, VA 22747. Advance purchase of tickets for the show is suggested. ABC gives county $28,000 The Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control announced that it distributed more than $18 million in profits among the state’s localities during fiscal year 1986-87, and an additional $6.4 million in per liter wine taxes. ABC profits, which are distributed on a per capita basis, are used by local governments to provide a variety of services to their residents. Rappahannock County received $19,794 in liquor tax revenue and $7,026 from the wine tax. The Town of Washington received an additional $836 from the liquor tax and $297 from the wine tax. The Commonwealth of Virginia received another $18 million in revenue for its general fund from the ABC board’s operations, including $7 million which was distributed directly to the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services for the treatment and rehabilitation of alcoholics. ABC Chairman J. David Shobe Jr. se'd that the $36.1 million in profits w he second largest in the department's nistory. The figure was topped only by profits of $36.3 million in 1986. “Our efforts to streamline and modernize the agency’s operations,” said Mr. Shobe, “have paid handsome dividends, especially in view of flat to declining liquor sales through-out the 1980s.” * Mr. Shobe said that although liquor gallonage sold through the ABC stpres is down by 10 percent since 1980, the department’s profits have exceeded $30 million for the past 13 years. The per liter wine tax, of which 88 percent is distributed to local governments, is collected from the department’s sale of wine. The remaining 12 percent of the wine tax is used by the department for operating revenue. Mr. Shobe emphasized that, in addition to the board’s efforts to modernize and streamline its operations, the department has also stepped up its campaign to curb alcohol abuse and underage drinking. The department’s speakers bureau “addresses thousands of high school and middle school students on the consequences of alcohol abuse and underage drinking,” he said. It has also spbnsored a state-wide forum for college and universities for the past twoyears. Check the real estate listing in ®ljr JUppaljannoch ilttos for information on the market.

Homecoming Continued from Page 1 tively. On the defensive end, Godfrey Freeman and Anthony Porter paced the Rappahannock team with five rebounds each. Freeman sunk 10 points as well, while Porter tallied an additional eight. Coach Leake called that game an example of how the team has matured and gained poise through the season's experience. With the game tied with one minute to go on someone else's home court, “it would have been easy for the guys to fold up their tent and come back to Rappahannock. Instead, the guys used the example of their earlier losses and didn’t make those mistakes.” The result, he said, speaks for itself: a three-point victory at Stonewall. Looking for the next game With the Panthers in a tie for second place with Page County in the district standings. Coach Leake sees the team's February schedule as the key to the rest of the season. “Our goal is the home court advantage in the district playoffs," but the coach said that his strategy for the team is to concentrate solely on the next game to be played. That’s next Tuesday, Feb. 2. at home against Manassas Park. On Friday, Feb. 5, the Panthers again play host to Brentsville in another district match. "Those games will set the tone of our play for the rest of the season." In February, the Panthers play each of the district’s top three teams one more time. That task also falls to Page County, now tied with Rappahannock for second place behind district-leading Central. The difference, the coach noted, is that the Panthers have beaten two of those teams once before, while Page County has lost against them. And he’s not taking the competition lightly. "We've got some good teams in the Bull Run District," Coach Leake said. Central is ranked third in the state in the division, while Page County ranks twelfth. Central towers undefeated above the district with a 9-0 record, which would assure an automatic regional berth and home court advantage in the district playoffs. Page and Rappahannock share 6-3 district records, with the Panthers 7-6 overall on the year. The three district losses, he said, came down to inexperience in key positions, a fault which he thinks experience will take care of. He pointed to the team’s poise against Stonewall last week as an indication of the improvement. “In three of those losses, we led in the last two minutes. But, we’re improving —we can play with anybody. It’s going to come down to who plays well in February,” Coach Leake said. “But we're not looking that far ahead. Our most important game is the next one. If we keep that philosophy, sooner or later we’ll see Central in the district championship.” Development is the key Again, Coach Leake praised the eighth grade and junior varsity programs as essential to the varsity team’s success. “The key to any athletic program’s success is the way the unit works. We have a unit which starts in the eighth grade, then to the junior varsity and then to the varsity. You can’t have success working with three different levels.” “The coaches,” he said, work with that philosophy. “The players know we all represent the school’s athletic program and Rappahannock County High School. The guys take that as a challenge and they respond very well.” And, he added, winning is not the only thing which the program teaches. “We teach them to strive to do their best; if they do that the wins will come. Winning, of course, is encouraged, but not stressed.” “If the players give me 100 percent in performance, pride and dedication to the sport, even in losses they’ve done their best. And when they do that they win. If the guys feel they went out and gave their best, then they’ve accomplished their goal.” Next Tuesday’s game at Rappahannock begins with JV action at 6 p.m., with the varsity contest following a short intermission. Soviets Continued from Page 1 Keller Manufacturing Co. and the Culpeper Star-Exponent. There is room for additional people on the tour: contact Dick Helmer for information (987-8184). Private dinners are being planned on Friday, followed by a Glasnost at the Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall in Washington, beginning at 8:30 p.m. Dr. Denise Horton will serve as moderator, and the organizers request that questions be sub-mitted to her in writing on arrival. The Russians will be briefed on the format of the forum at the Middle Street Gallery at 8 p.m. Due to fire regulations, seating for the forum will be limited to 100 people on a first-come, first-serve basis. Saturday is planned as a free day, with hosts urged to organize day trips to places of interest for their guests. Two private dinners will be held Saturday evening for six Russians each. On Sunday, the morning is free for hosts and guests to attend church if they desire. The Quakers have invited the visitors to attend the Friends’ meeting. Lunch will be served for guests and hosts at Sid and Margaret Gottlieb's Blackwater Homestead, with swimming after. The rest of the afternoon and evening are free, with dinner at the hosts' discretion. For the Soviet visitors, the spectacle of the Super Bowl, especially with the Washington Redskins playing, should provide a glimpse of American sports culture. A country supper, to which the public is invited, will be served at the Conyers House. There will be a limit of 20 seats. Reservations and information may be obtained by calling 987-8025. On Monday morning, drivers are needed to take the Soviet delegation back to Metro D. C. by noon. They must be delivered to the Radisson Mark Plaza Hotel in Alexandria. Volunteers, please call the Conyers House (987-8025). Maurice Herndon, who will be the host for several guests at his eyrie above Sperryville, requests that anyone with a four-wheel drive vehicle contact him (987-8224) in case he is unable to get his guests out. Mr. Herndon added that his short-wave radio is already tuned to Radio Moscow. In communicating with the Soviet visitors, foreign language specialists recommend that slowing one’s speech is far more effective in assisting those who are unfamiliar with the language than raising the voice. Remember, if you see someone wearing a fur hat, wave! And, if you see someone wearing a fur hat driving a host’s car, try a “Thumb’s up!” As Rappahannock News editor Lou Hatter said, “If you can’t handle the snoW and ice, ask our Russian guests to drive. They’re probably better at it than we are.” And finally, anyone who is willing to donate an instant camera, film and time so the guests will have souvenirs of their visit, please call the Conyers House (987-8025).

Another danger spot, he added, is any area where snow has been r plowed and piled. That snow tends to melt during the day and then trickle back across the road, where it freezes. The same is true of bridge surfaces, which freeze even quicker than roads because the cold air can get underneath the road surface. The deep freeze which has hit the county is predicted to last until the weekend,with temperatures slowly rising into the 50s by Superbowl Sunday. Why’s it so slick - and deep? Residents of the Midwest and Northeast snow belt are always amazed at how snowstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region seem to bring the whole area to a grinding halt. The usual excuse is that the people who live in this area aren’t used to driving in snow, so consequently it’s more difficult for us to get around in the snow. Actually, that’s only part of the reason why snowstorms seem to bring Virginia’s Piedmont and the Metropolitan D. C. area to a slippery, sliding standstill. The other factors have a sound basis in meteorology, according to Dr. Pat Michaels, Virginia's state climatologist. For one thing. Dr. Michaels said, a major winter storm tends to bring more accumulation in the Mid-Atlantic region than in the Midwest. The reason is the added moisture available as the storm tracks up the coast from the south. The counter-clockwise circulation around a low pressure storm center draws moist air in from the ocean, pushing it ahead of the storm’s track and replenishing the moisture lost in precipitation which falls farther south. The track of those major storms is the same as that notorious New England phenomenon: the nor’easter. (The name derives from the direction in which the storm travels, not the direction from whence it came.) Consequently, while Midwes tern snowstorms usually end after six to eight inches fall, a major winter snow in the MidAtlantic states can easily leave more than a foot of snow, with accumulations varying widely according to the storm’s track as it moves north. Those major storms. Dr. Michaels said, leave accumulations close to the snowfall found in places like Minneapolis, Minnesota or Portland, Maine. The Mid-Atlantic region, however, faces an additional hazard not found in those frigid climes farther north. Dr. Michaels said. Most of our snowstorms happen with the temperature near freezing, and often before the snow begins to stick some has already melted. That water combines with the snow’ and turns to a slush which is infinitely more slippery than powder snow on a dry, frozen road surface, he said. That slush, as everyone knows who has driven home after the sun sets and the temperature falls, then freezes into a hard-packed ice which is almost impossible to remove with snowplow blade§. Usually, the highway department’s only alternative is to spread sand or cinders on the road to improve traction. Then, it’s only a matter of time until warmer temperatures melt the compressed snow and ice enough so it can be scraped down to the bare road surface.

But that second figure “is a little misleading,” the zoning administrator said. “Predominantly, the family divisions resulted in lots of five acres or less.” But a few family divisions of 35 acres and larger skewed the average, he explained. The bulk of the subdivision activity came in Jackson District where 15 new lots were created in 1987. Hampton and Stonewall-Hawthorne Districts registered 11 new lots each, Wakefield District eight lots, and Piedmont District only three lots. As the number of building permits rose, so did the value of new homes. According to zoning office statistics, the worth of a new residence built in Rappahannock last year averaged $105,862, a 31 percent increase from the $80,787 average of 1986 and a 66 percent increase from the $63,531 average of 1985. Commercial development was almost non-existent in Rappahannock County last year. The zoning administrator’s report shows two special use permits granted for bed-andbreakfast operations totalling seven rooms and a rezoning in Amissville from rural residential to agricultural for the seasonal sale of azalea bushes and other nursery products grown in-county. But building permits for, these uses have yet to be issued, he told the commissioners. IRS extends hours for tax assistance The IRS has extended its hours of taxpayer assistance to help Virginians prepare their 1987 tax returns. “Beginning this Saturday, IRS assistors will be answering the toll-free tax information telephone lines from 9 a.m. to 1 p,m., and many offices will be open as well,” according to Jack Petrie, IRS district director in Richmond. “We realize that many people will have questions due to the changes in the tax laws affecting 1987 returns. By offering Saturday service, Virginians will have additional opportunities to ask questions and file their returns as soon as they have all the necessary information,” Mr. Petrie explained. The toll-free tax assistance number is (800) 424j1040. Assistors are available Monday-Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. as well as Saturdays from Jan. 23 through April 15. The Winchester IRS office, located on the second floor of the Kuykendall Building, 20 Cameron St.. is open each Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to noon and from 12:45 to 3:30 p.m. “Many answers to general tax questions can be found in the tax package instructions or in more than 90 free IRS publications,” Mr. Petrie added. “Forms and publications can be requested by using the order form in the tax package, or by calling 1-800-424-FORM.” Recorded tax information on topics of general interest is provided by calling Tele-Tax 1-800-554-4477.
