Video cameras watch students Surveillance nabs high school miscreants By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON and LOU HATTER , Rappahannock New* staff Writer* On the basis of evidence gathered by video camera, one student at Rappahannock County High School has been found guilty of petty larceny and five others have been barred from extracurricular activities for five days for abuse of school property. “Two specific situations” comprise the extent of video surveillance at Rappahannock County High School to date, said Superintendent David Gangel, adding “I don’t want to call it a common practice.” Dr. Gangel, who was apprised of the camera use after-the-fact on both occasions, said video surveillance is a last resort to be employed “only when other avenues haven’t panned out. ..Asa principal, I have used it in the past. It’s one of the resources an administrator has to consider.” Other neighboring school divisions forego the resource, however. “We use video camera for classroom taping so teachers can critique their own teaching,” said Alan Beamer, Culpeper’s Director of Instruction. “But everyone knows they’re there. The camera are set up in front of the class.” He said that on occasion, cameras have been used in resolving a classroom discipline problem, giving as an example when a kindergartener or first-grader is hitting other kids, and parents, who are unable to come to the classroom to observe, insist their child doesn’t misbehave in that fashion at home. ‘“Would you believe it if you could see it?’ we ask them, and under those circumstances, we sometimes will film a class, but for trying to find out who did what, no, we’ve never used video cameras for that,” Mr. Beamer said. Assistant superintendents Robert Leonard in Warren County and Frank Drumheller in Madison both reported that to their knowledge, video cameras have never been used for student surveillance in their school systems. “I don’t know of cameras ever being used for that purpose,” reported Tammy Bannister, who as coordinator for Fauquier’s teacher resource center, handles all video equipment. Dr. Gangel confirmed that Rappahannock schools have no policy or guidelines setting out the circumstances under which it is deemed appropriate to use video cameras to monitor students. “You have to depend on the judgment of your people,” he said. “We had a long-term theft problem going back for years,” said RCHS principal John Toth, explaining that he had suggested trying a video camera to catch the thief. According to Mr. Toth, the thefts this year were occurring during one class period. “Students were coming up to me very, very upset that they were missing more than $20 taken in that particular class period.” The camera was set up in the locker room during physical education class, its eye aimed at a jacket with a dollar bill visible in the pocket, and then students were to be asked by the physical education instructor to retrieve something from the room. “I don’t know. I wasn’t there See VIDEO, p. 14 Walking the plank? Rappahannock News photcvCind^Mahan NO, THIS TURKEY is one of the lucky ones.

Guest seeks Republican nomination for governor By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer State Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. (R-31) completed his two-day Virginia fly-around Tuesday with airport press conferences in Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Roanoke and Bristol. The whirlwind tour followed Mr. Guest’s announcement Monday morning in Richmond that he is a candidate for the GOP nomination for governor next year. He asserted that he is “the positive choice” who can prevent a “bitterly divisive campaign for the nomination. . .1 can not, and I will not, run a negative campaign.” A native and lifelong resident of Front Royal, Mr. Guest is a 17-year veteran of the Virginia House of Delegates. He has served as the House Minority Leader since January 1986. In that post, he said, “I have tried to help my fellow Republican delegates build those alliances so necessary for being an effective legislator. And from time to time. . .1 have taken the floor to express the views of the ‘loyal opposition’ when either the administration or the majority party set off on a DEL. ANDY GUEST course we did not feel was good for the - Commonwealth.” In announcing his candidacy, Mr. Guest asserted that “I reflect and represent the views of most Virginians.” He pointed out that he has served on the House Agriculture Committee, the Finance Committee, the Committee for Roads and Internal Navigation and the Conservation and Natural Resources Committee. He is now the ranking minority member on the first three of those committees. Since his appointment by his GOP colleagues to the Minority Leader’s post, Del. Guest has also been a member of the House Rules Committee and is a member of the State Crime Commission. In those committees, Mr. Guest said, “reflecting the will of my constituents, I have fought against undesirable legislation and against undesirable trends just as hard as I have fought for desirable legislation and desirable trends.” Since he was first elected in November 1971, Mr. Guest said, “I have promoted the interests of my rural district.” He noted that the past 20 years have found Virginians faced with rapid changes which many find “unsettling.” Although that change will not let up, Mr. Guest said, “some things will never change. Virginians will always want a better way to do things and a better way of life. I share these goals. . .a hope and dream for a better way of life for our people.” As one of his proudest accomplishments, Mr. Guest pointed to legislation he introduced which served to streamline state government and make it work more efficiently. They have worked, “solving problems and strengthening our state both socially and economically." Del. Guest noted that he introduced the study resolution and chaired the joint subcommittee which resulted in the construction of the Virginia Horse Center near Lexington. He was also an early advocate of the referendum on pari-mutuel betting, which won the approval of Virginia’s voters earlier this month. In another accomplishment which has strengthened the economic structure of the state, Mr. Guest was the sponsor of the Virginia Farm Wineries Bill. Since that proposal was introduced in 1979, the state’s two wineries have been joined by more than 40 new wineries. Del. Guest also expressed his strong support of tough laws against crime, a See GUEST, p. 14 Planners see off-site signs as 'awful precedent' “Who would want to drive to Rappahannock County if they couldn’t see the mountains for the signs? It would be the end of the county’s tourist business,” maintained Mike Massie. And to protect the scenic vistas that are Rappahannock’s biggest tourist attraction, the Planning Commission last week recommended denial of a special exception application for a sign on Route 211 giving directions to a Flint Hill restaurant. “It’s difficult to describe how to get there. . .We are off the beaten track,” said Sheila O’Brien, proprietor of the School House Restaurant. “And 211 has a lot of traffic,” she said, adding the new sign would alert motorists traveling the arterial highway that there’s a restaurant nearby. The sign which Mrs. O’Brien wants to place on Mrs. Louise K. Eastham’s property at Ben Venue would be 20 square feet “or smaller.” It would be a replica of the three-foot-by-four-foot sign on-site at the restaurant, the only difference being the addition of directions across the bottom, she explained. “It would be an awful precedent,” maintained Commissioner Werner Krebser. “There are eight restaurants in the county now. What if they all put up signs along the highway?” “Then a lot of people would be going to a lot of different restaurants,” Mrs. O’Brien replied, saying that other restaurants in the county have combination advertising/directional signs off-site, as does the Oasis Vineyard Winery. The restaurant signs are either just beyond the county line or were erected prior to adoption of Rappahannock’s zoning laws which regulate signs, Dr. Krebser countered. And the directional signs to Oasis are high way department signs, Mr. Massie added. Mrs. O’Brien noted that she proposes to erect an attractive sign, “not a flashy neon sign.” “That has nothing to do with it,” Commissioner David Fannon explained. “We’re concerned about setting a precedent.” The regulations governing special exception permits specify that the proposed use must *101 have undue impact on the historic or scenic qualities of Rappahannock County, Commissioner Krebser pointed out. “If you start putting signs up and down the highway, it’s definitely going to impact the scenic qualities.” , “Signs would ruin the scenery,” agreed Mr. Massie, the Board of Supervisors’ representative to the Planning Commission. “Scenery is the main thing our tourist busiSee SIGNS, p. 14

Although a college degree and/or prior experience is preferred, it is not required. “Our mission is to serve Virginia’s citizenry and to provide law enforcement services in the most effective, efficient and professional manner,” said Colonel R.L. Suthard, state police superintendent. “In order to fulfill this mission, we must seek and employ those persons who have shown a commitment to self-improvement and a willingness to serve their fellow man.” In 1986, the Virginia State Police became the second state police organization in the United States to earn accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. Accreditation stands as nationwide recognition that an agency meets state-of-the art standards for its policies, procedures, management operations and support services. Col. Suthard said the department, which interviews and tests approximately 1,200 applicants annually, needs to further expand its search for applicants to insure that trooper positions filled are filled with the best qualified persons available. The Department is an equal opportunity employer. Successful applicants must pass written examinations, a physical agility test, background investigation, polygraph and physical examination. PUBLIC HEARING TRASH ORDINANCE On Monday, December 5, 1988, at 7:00 p.m. at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County will hold a public hearing concerning a proposed amendment to the Rappahannock county trash ordinance. The amendment would make it unlawful for any person to deposit white goods, (i.E., stoves, refrigerators, freezers, washers, etc.) tires, scrap metal, wood or brush in any place other than at the County’s sanitary landfill, during normal, posted hours of operation. A complete text of the Rappahannock County trash ordinance and proposed amendment is available for inspection from 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday at the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court and at the Building, Zoning and Administration Office, in Washington, VA.

Suthard, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police, announced today that the Department will participate in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) during the Thanksgiving Day holiday period. Operation C.A.R.E. is a statesponsored national program begun in 1977 and designed to reduce crashes, injuries and deaths during the major holiday periods of Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day. The program has been expanded to include Thanksgiving Day weekend which begins this year at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 23 and continues through midnight, Sunday, Nov. 27. Virginia’s involvement in Operation C.A.R.E. includes increasing the number of troopers patrolling certain sections of the interstate, primary and secondary roads where experience indicates high traffic volume and/or high crash frequency can be anticipated. The Department’s objective is to encourage motorists to comply with state traffic laws by increasing the visibility of troopers. “While it’s true that holiday weekends are generally no more ‘deadly’ in terms of fatalities thin many other weekends,” said Col. Suthard, “the number of vehicles using our highways certainly increases', and congestion along major thoroughfares is not unusual. It is critically important that motorists allow' plenty of time to reach their destina-. tions, use their safety belts and re-; frain from drinking and driving.” Last year during the holiday period, 17 people were killed on Virginia’s highways. At least six of these deaths occurred in alcohol-rfe-' lated crashes, and of the 14 non-pedestrian fatalities, only one was' known to be wearing safety re1; straints. According to VSP records?, troopers patrolled 143,311 miles diir-' ing the 1987 Thanksgiving Day holiday period and assisted 2,55l‘ stranded or otherwise distressed motorists. They also arrested or is1- ; sued summonses to 3,336 motorist's including 1,076 for speeding, 481 for reckless driving, 86 for drinking and driving, and 1,066 for other hazartlous violations. 1 Employment begins at the State Police Academy with a week of orientation and preliminary training. This is followed by one to three months in the field working with an experienced trooper who has been designated as field training officer (FTO) and 21 weeks of basic training back at the academy: Upon graduation, troopers work with an FTO for another two or more weeks. The Department’s Career Progression Program features four classifications for troopers with a salary range of $19,812 to $35,368 (there is an additional 20 percent added for troopers stationed in certain areas of Northern Virginia). Several areas of specialization are available for troopers to pursue such as the Executive Protection Unit which provides security for the Governor and his immediate family, the K-9 program, tactical and scuba teams and motorcycle patrol. After two years with the department, troopers become eligible for promotion and may con tinue through the uniform ranks or seek assignment to the Bureau -qf Criminal Investigation. Persons interested in applying, for the position of trooper should, contact the State Police area office in Warrenton (347-3237) or Division Headquarters in Culpeper (8258315) for more information on benefits, training and job opportunities*.

County groups join highway cleanup Several Rappahannock County organizations proved last weekend that they “Dare to Care” about Virfe*iia’s highways when they joined the Virginia Department of Transportation’s effort to clean up the state’s roads. Two Brownie troops and the county*s 4-H teen club have become the first Rappahannock County entries in a new state-wide program called Adopt a Highway, sponsored by VDOT, the Division of Litter Control and Recycling and Keep Virginia Beautiful Inc. Troop 929 has adopted the Fodderstack Road, pledging to clean it four times a year for the next two years. Troop 909 has made the same commitment on the Shade Road, from its intersection with Route 211 to the intersection with Route 621. And, the 4-H group will be policing Route 211 and the roads leading into Washington, cleaning litter from the gutters and along the rights of way. All three groups began their tasks last weekend with cleanups Friday afternoon and Saturday. “The response has been great,” Litter Coordinator Nina Stamer reported. “I’m really excited that local groups have chosen to get involved.” She said that the program is easy to get involved in, and easy to keep up with. “It’s really no big deal — picking up trash four times a year for two years. Everybody should get involved and adopt a stretch of road.” County Administrator John McCarthy agreed, adding that he hoped to see local businesses as well as community organizations become involved. “I have no problem with telling businesses, ‘Hey, this is good publicity.’” For commercial enterprises, Mr. McCarthy said, the sign erected by the highway department crediting the group which has adopted each stretch of road is good advertising. “And at base, it’s a community service.” The program was developed, according to Transportation Commissioner Ray Pethtel, “to let concerned citizens take an active part in helping us keep Virginia clean. With volunteers joining us in this public partnership and taking on the responsibility along certain roads, it lets us concentrate litter control Rappahannock News phofo/Cindy Mahan MEMBERS OF THE 4-H Teen Club take a break during their clean up of Route 211 Friday. From left, club advisor Rev. Larry Hovis, Amy Richardson, Holly Moffett and Liz Oliver. along more heavily-traveled roads with severe problems, such as interstates and major primary roads.” Litter control is a costly part of the highway department’s budget. Last year VDOT spent $4.3 million and 430,000 manhours cleaning up trash along the state’s roads. To illustrate the magnitude of the litter problem in the Commonwealth, the trash collected by VDOT last year would take one person, working around the clock at a rate of $10 per hour, 49 years to pick up. Under the Adopt a Highway program, volunteers agree to keep at least two miles of primary or secondary roadway cleared of litter for two years, scheduling cleanup days at least four times each year. VDOT will provide the group with safety training, orange reflective vests, trash bags and signs to be posted warning motorists that a cleanup is in progress. Once the group agrees to partici pate, the highway department posts signs which note that the section of highway is part of the program, and lists the name of the organization or individuals which have adopted it. For safety reasons, each section of road must be approved by the highway department for adoption. The program, although new in Virginia, was begun in Texas in 1985. In Texas, the “adopt a road” program was accompanied by an antilitter advertising campaign aimed at adolescents and young adults — a group which is not usually targeted. It featured musicians Stevie Ray Vaughn and the Fabulous Thunderbirds, among others, doing musical commercials against litter. “By and large, it worked,” Mr. McCarthy said. Following the example of the Lone Star State, more than a dozen other states have instituted some type of “adopt a road” program. Vir ginia highway officials expect more individuals and groups to join the effort as work of the program spreads. Currently, nearly 40 groups have pledged to adopt more than 100 miles of Virginia’s roads. For the organizations which have agreed to participate, it is a way of providing a service to the community. For the transportation department, it means that men and equipment can be freed to tend to more urgent tasks along the highway. For passing motorists, be they local residents or visitors, the result is scenic vistas free of unsightly trash. A spokesman for the highway department said that there are still plenty of roads waiting to be adopted by local organizations or individuals. Any group which is interested in joining the program should contact Ben Atkins at the VDOT Warrenton residency (703-3472834).

Tune to WVPT on Channel 4 sion Statio FORE will resume van run in county Four handicapped residents of Rappahannock County again have transportation to jobs and training programs at the FORE sheltered workshop in Remington, thanks to a six-month trial van route offered by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center. “I want to publicly commend this little lady,” said Supervisor Ellis Bingham, announcing that the Center’s executive director, Jo Gorman, had personally worked to arrange the transportation. “I know we can’t do anything about it now, but for next year’s budget cycle, when this little lady stands up and says, ‘This is what we’re doing, and this is what we need,’ we’re really going to have to look at what she’s asking.” Formerly, FORE’s Rappahannock clients were driven to and from Remington in the sheltered workshop’s van but the service was discontinued last summer after the county’s Board of Supervisors denied FORE’s request for $12,500 to cover the transportation cost. It was the second time clients here lost their ride; FORE began its van route to Rappahannock after declining federal and state dollars forced the Community Services Center to drop its contributions, which had included transportation services. In an Oct. 19 letter to Col. Bingham, Ms. Gorman noted that the van route costs between $16,000 and $20,000 to operate. “With only two public riders and four FORE clients who received no reimbursement from the Department of Rehabilitative Services, the route was costing far more than any other and had no apparent potential to develop and expand, thus eventually decreasing its cost,” Ms. Gorman wrote. “In addition, sadly we continue to struggle with public funds for other services (including van runs transporting far more than six people) declining annually and forcing a continual review and reduction of staff and programs.” Despite this situation, however, the Community Services Board has unanimously approved a transportation service to start by the end of November, the executive director reported. The new route will begin in the town of Washington and go by way of Sperryville and Culpeper to the FORE workshop, “thus covering the needs of those clients who were denied service when FORE last shutdown their route,” she wrote the Jackson District supervisor. But, Ms. Gorman emphasized, the van route will be resumed only on a six-month trial basis. “Because no funds for this route are budgeted, we are going out on a fiscal limb,” she said, asking for Col. Bingham's “expertise and advice” on how best to attract additional riders and make the route more cost-effective. Also, the Center is trying to recruit a part-time driver who lives in the Washington, Va., area to reduce the expensive problem of “dead-ending” at the start and close of each day with the van needing to return to Culpeper, she noted. If the cost effectiveness cannot be improved, the transportation will cease after six months “because we obviously cannot shut down an existing route serving 12 to 14 clients in order to pay for this one,” Ms. Gorman cautioned. The efforts to reinstitute transportation for Rappahannock residents to the FORE workshop comes apparently as the result of an agreement reached some months previous by the Center’s executive director and Jackson District’s supervisor. “I trust you will accept my apology for the delay,” Ms. Gorman wrote in her Oct. 19 letter to Col. Bingham, “but you struck me as a ‘results-oriented’ man and I didn’t want to waste paper telling you nothing versus delivering what we shook hands on to produce.” FANTASTIC SAVINGS for 1 DAY ONLY There’s only 30 days left until Christmas, I SO HERE’S OUR PRESENT TO YOU!! 30% OFF ENTIRE STOCK I Faye's Two offers dressy dresses, beautiful seperates, sweat- « ers, casual wear, unique jewelry & accessories, and much ! more!

Mrs. Campbell, now 98, lives with family in Newport News. On Thanksgiving, a time when we celebrate our blessings and gather with our families, her poem seemed an appropriate one for the holiday.

In that section you had a special segment related to the 4-H program. Please know that we appreciate your tremendous support for the 4-H efforts in Rappahannock County. All of us associated with 4-H are quite proud of the program that is being conducted in your county. We know that 4-H is making a difference in the lives of many young people. Thank you for the excellent support that you and other Rappahannock County citizens provide related to 4-H. WAYNE M. KEEFER Assistant Director, 4-H Blacksburg To the editor: The coverage given to the Rappahannock 4-H youth program in the Oct. ti issue of the Happahatimick News was fantastic! Several pages were devoted to Camp Fantastic, 4-H winners at the state fair, John Dooley, Director of the Northern VA 4-H Educational Center in Front Royal and President Reagan’s address on 4-H. It was wonderful to see and read the coverage given. The photographs and layout were very nicely done. The emphasis on green was nice to see also. The youth of today are truly our future for tomorrow. It’s important that we invest our time in them and give them the recognition they deserve for their accomplishments and interests. Thank you for helping to make' the best better and for going the extra mile to give recognition to 4-H’ers in Rappahannock County. JOHN S. HUDDLESTON District 4-H Director Warrenton Better than ever To the editor: Rappahannock’s third Community Recycling Day was an amazing success! According to the infamous clipboard, 94 households participated this time, compared with 64 last month and 37 in September. I would like to apologize for the tardiness of the Piedmont Recycling truck, but it was due to circumstances beyond my control. As the county’s litter coordinator, I am thrilled that the recycling program has been so successful thus far. Not only does it spare the landfill from items which are reusable, thereby saving space and prolonging its life, but it also serves the very important purpose of bringing people with varied interests and backgrounds together who are willing to work together toward a common goal. This past Saturday I felt as though I was the host of a social hour -rather than coordinating a recycling collection day. Some people greeted each other with hugs, while others engaged in lively conversation on a wide variety of topics. Dinner invitations were offered and promises of “We’ll have to get together” were made. Despite the chilly, rainy weather, people went out of their way to help each other. r Remember, this is an event which benefits the community and relies solely on community participation for its success. So, I urge everyone to participate in the fourth Community Recycling Day, tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 17 from 9-11 a.m. There is one suggestion which may make things run more smoothly: We had to throw away many boxes, feed bags and other containers that could be reused. Perhaps people could plan to take their containers back with them to use again. Sturdy boxes, such as tomato or banana boxes, or feed bags, or small garbage containers for each type of recyclable, all work well. Recycling is here to stay! For more information, contact me at 6753810. Special thanks to Greg Foster and Ann Eagan, who stayed after I left to help finish loading up the truck and cleaning up the rec center. Also, thanks to Hunt Harris for making a run to the dump; and many, many thanks to everyone else who helped out and made the day such a success.

There is a plan to call a Constitutional Convention, supposedly for the purpose of passing a Balanced Budget Amendment. But, there are groups organized that plan to control the convention and write a new constitution restructuring our form of government. The U. S. Constitution is the basis of our freedom and we must not let it be destroyed. The Virginia House of Delegates passed House Joint Resolution 28 in the 1988 session. This Resolution withdraws Virginia’s call for the constitutional convention. The Virginia Senate Rules Committee carried the resolution over to the 1989 session and it must be approved in the first week of the legislative session to lie voted on by the full Senate. ' - To save our Constitution \?e must make it clear to the members of the Rules Committee, and the ea? tire Senate, that we want them t<? pass HJR-28.

Op - Ed Campaigns a reflection of presidency's problems, not a cause of them :- by glen e. thurow * Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Today’s presidential campaigns are lengthy affairs. Months before the first crucial caucuses and primaries the candidates are out on the trail, sizing up the mood of the people and wooing their votes. It is often said that the campaign is too jlong — too tiring for the candidates j|nd too boring for the voters (as ►though the main criteria for judging »^ampaigns should be the ease of the candidates and the entertainment of 'the voters). I' But it is too little noted that the ‘practice of long, public campaigns by •the candidates both reflects and helps create a presidency strikingly different from (and, in some respects, inferior to) the presidency of America’s first century. In the 1800s, presidential candidates did not publicly campaign at all. Elections were often hotly contested, but the candidates themselves were expected to stay home and — with rare exceptions — did. Although the development of railroads had made campaign tours easily possible by the time of the Civil War, it was not until the rise of the Progressives that .candidates personally campaigned. William Jennings Bryan broke a century of tradition in 1896 by stumping the country on his own behalf. Mr. Bryan, of course, did not win. Woodrow Wilson, in 1912, became the first successful candidate for president to have gone on a fullscale speaking tour during the campaign. This change from the “front porch” campaigns of the 19th century to the “whistle stop” and “airplane hop” campaigns of the 20th is not the result of transportation improvements so much as a change in the understanding of the presidential office and in the relationship of the campaign to the president’s powers and duties. In the “front porch” elections, forties, not individual candidates, (carried the burden of campaigning. These campaigns were designed to protect the presidential office (and the future president) from dangers that were thought to arise from direct appeals to the voters by ambitious and contending candidates. In particular, there were three features of the presidency that were thought to be threatened by direct campaigning: its constitutional authority, its receptivity to genuine statesmanship and its accountability to the people. The presidency was designed to be an office whose authority .stemmed from powers granted by INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday pORSE SALE 2nd Sat.. 10 a.m.,Ewv Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st.

For further information call 364-1S66 1 mile east of Marshall on Rt 55 | Opinion the Constitution and from the president’s place in the tripartite constitutional design. But the Constitution itself rested upon the authority of “We, the people.” By directly campaigning before the voters, a president might plausibly claim to embody the will of the people since their vote could be taken to be an endorsement of his personal appeal. Neither the justices of the Supreme Court nor members of Congress could make a similar claim. Hence a president might attach the authority of “We, the people” to himself at the expense of the other branches of government and, indeed, of the Constitution itself. His power would rest on his relationship with the people, not his constitutional position, and he might use that authority to usurp powers properly belonging elsewhere or nowhere. President Nixon’s claim to have received a “mandate” in the 1972 election to which Congress ought to bow is illustrative of the danger feared. “Front porch” campaigns would help to make party victories as well as personal victories, thus diminishing the president’s claim while increasing the claim of the party in Congress. Secondly, the presidency ought to attract and give scope to genuine statesmen. But direct campaigning would give the advantage to candidates who were preeminently orators and rhetoricians — men who could appear to understand politics without really doing so. These orators might easily become the slaves as well as the manipulators of people’s passions and moods. Instability would be introduced into presidential programs as presidents scurried to play to the changing moods of the people, and the discretion and flexibility essential to the conduct of the presidency would be diminished. The “front porch” campaign sought to insert a party organization between the candidate and the people which shield the future president from excessive dependence on transient moods. The enthusiasm and diligence with which he was supported would depend to a large extent on his serving the stable principles and interests of an organized party rather than the shifting sentiments of an inchoate mass. Oratory would take second place to substantive political goals and be contained by a candidate’s ability to serve concrete interests. Finally, it was thought that the president should be accountable to the people. But this did not mean accountable to people’s whims, for the people themselves would be likely to repent of their whims within a short time. Rather it meant accountability to the more stable and better considered opinions of the voters — to what the Federalist Papers called “the cool and deliberate sense of the community.7 But in a campaign of direct personal appeals, free of the discipline of having to govern, candidates would be likely to compete with each other to exploit the latest mood passing through the public. The “cool and deliberate sense of the community” would not rule in such an election, but victory would go to those who most skillfully gave expression to transient opinion. The role given to parties in the “front porch” campaign would help to inject stability into public opinion and curb the bobbing and weaving of candidates. When William Jennings Bryan campaigned in 1896, he was widely condemned as a demagogue for his courting of the people. But Woodrow Wilson articulated a new view of the presidency that has made stumping the country for votes a respectable activity ever since. This new presidency, in Mr. Wilson’s view, would derive its authority, not primarily from the Constitution, but from its expression of the will of the people. True statesmanship would come not from a president using his constitutional' prerogatives wisely, but from a president who could articulate the deep-felt desires of the people and marshall them to compel Congress and Party to accede to his program. The president would be the “voice of the people.” And elections would be, not so much occasions to hold presidents and would-be presidents to account, as occasions for the skillful orator to arouse the public by tapping its feelings and articulating its wishes. Thus all the power that could be generated by a modem democracy would be focused in the hands of the HORSESHOE HILLS RESTAURANT 703-987-9005 THANKSGIVING MENU Turkey - Roast Beef or Old Virginia Ham Choice of Two Vegetables Cressy Greens • Mashed Pototoes • Sweet Peas Stewed Tomatoes (all the above served with hot buttered rolls) DESSERT Apple, Sweet Potato or Pumpkin Pie Homemade Ice Cream BEVERAGE Ice Tea • Coffee • Soda Enjoy a family Thanksgiving Dinner by the fireplace with your charming Hostess “Michelle’ ’ i 12 noon through 9p.m. $7.50^^ Located: Rt. 211, West of Sperryville A Warm Friend on Those Cold Winter Days...

Mr. Wilson’s presidency (which is now ours) requires an election in which the personal campaign of the candidate is central in order to establish the president’s personal authority, arouse the force of the people, and concentrate this force in one man. Whatever the merits of President Wilson’s view, more striking today are its failings. Presidents who rely on the power of their oratory alone rather than their constitutional authority and their strategic position within the constitutional structure seem weak, not strong. Leadership seems too often to have transformed itself into “followership” of shallow moods and sentiments. And the people’s opinions seem inchoate and unable to direct the government or to call a president to account even as presidents disregard constitutional boundaries. We have the personal campaigns favored by Woodrow Wilson without the fruits he thought would come from them. We need to reconsider not merely the campaign practices but the view of the presidency of which they are part and parcel. Dr. Thurow is the chairman of the Department of Politics at the U niversit y of Dallas in Texas. Correction In an editorial in last week’s Rappahannock News, Mike Massie was incorrectly identified as the county supervisor from Piedmont District. Mr. Massie is, of course, the Hampton District representative on the Board of Supervisors. Charles K. (Pete) Estes represents Piedmont District. The Rappahannock News , regrets the error. ' Overall economic outlook still good WILLIAMSBURG — Despite shifting consumer behavior and continued sluggishness in some economic indicators, the state’s employment outlook and overall economy remains strong, according to the latest Virginia Business Report from the College of William and Mary. Five of the seven economic indicators for August fell below last year’s levels, but nonagricultural employment, which is the best gauge of how well the economy is doing, has risen 4.5 percent cumulatively for the year to-date. “The current year job growth still is very strong, clear evidence that the Virginia economy remains a growth leader,” said Roy L. Pearson, director of the Bureau of Business Research and editor of the report. The bureau’s sample of stores showed retail sales per store down 1.9 percent in August and 1.7 percent for the year thus far. Those statistics confirm reports from retailers that competition for consumer patronage remains fierce, said Mr. Pearson. “Total consumer spending in Virginia has grown at a respectable pace, but expansion of retail businesses has equaled or exceeded that pace in many parts of Virginia.” Although the bureau’s sample appears to conflict with the latest figures released by the Virginia Department of Taxation showing taxable sales for July up 20.3 percent, Mr. Pearson maintains that the state’s overall sales outlook is one of slower growth. Taxable sales for January through July rose only 5.8 percent over the same period last year, and he expects only moderate growth, well below 1987’s total increase of 9.5 percent, to continue for the rest of the year. August was the third straight month of decline in new car registrations, a trend which Mr. Pearson expects will continue this falL With registrations for the year to-date up only 1.5 percent from 1987, he predicts that rising interest rates and lack of spectacular sales incentives will mean lower total car sales this year than last. Bank debits, which were down in July from the same period a year ago, bounced back in August, but “little significance can be attached to the swing,” according to Mr. Pearson. For the year to-date, bank debits were down 5.9 percent from the same period in 1987, “supporting other evidence of a shift to more conservative spending plans during 1988,” he said. Building permits, down 8.5 percent statew ide in August after a 13.2 percent gain in July, must be interpreted cautiously, since it is one of the more volatile economic indicators, Mr. Pearson said. He pointed out that the negative swing did coincide with “the Federal Reserve System’s clear move to raise interest rates, demonstrating their commitment to restraining the nation’s real output growth to a sustainable pace.” Given that circumstance, says Mr. Pearson, the drop in building permits may be “at least partly a reaction of Virginia builders to the prospect of higher interest rates and slower growth following the Fed’s action.” Real estate transactions The following real estate transfers were recorded during the past week: Rolf Graage and wife to John G.

Guinn by Mrs. Douglas Fairfax, regent of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR. Guinn gets DAR medal Claude I. Guinn of Culpeper was presented with the Medal of Honor from the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. The DAR Medal of Honor is presented to “persons who have exhibited the highest qualities of leadership, trustworthiness and patriotism and who, by his or her service, has made an outstanding or lasting contribution to the community or to the nation.” The NSDAR national headquarters must also approve all recipients. “Mr. Guinn,” a Culpeper chapter spokesman said, “certainly meets all these qualifications.” A Culpeper native, Mr. Guinn is a retired Army major and postmaster who now devotes his time to community service. For 40 years he has been the moving force behind , the town’s Fourth of July celebration, as well as the catalyst for the Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day observances at the Culpeper National Cemetery. He organized the Friends of the Culpeper Town and County Library and has been the mainstay of the organization’s semi-annual book sale, the proceeds of which are used for various library projects. Mr. Guinn has also made his time and knowledge available to the many commu nity groups who have requested a presentation about the flag of the United States or the history of Culpeper County. When he returned to civilian life after leaving active duty with the Army following World War II, Maj. Guinn remained in the Army Reserves and organized the first Army Reserves unit in Culpeper. He is a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Sons of the American Revolution, the American ^Legion, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Culpeper County Historical Society, the Friends of the Culpeper Town and County Library, and is an honorary member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Mr. Guinn and his wife Mary Frances live at “Winfrey,” their home outside Culpeper. They have two daughters, Claudia Beasley of Culpeper and Sylvia Gaff of Tampa, Florida, and four grandsons. The award service was held on Nov. 13 at St. Stephens Parish Hall, and was attended by Mr. Guinn’s family, friends and members of the organizations of which he is a member. The Medal of Honor was presented by Mrs. Douglas Fairfax, regent of the Culpeper chapter. The service ended with a reading by Mrs. Woodruff Kearns of her poem, entitled “The Silent Majority.” Check Ci)e Jxappatjannocfe Jietos to find out who’s getting married or who has tied the knot in your neighborhood.

Eat healthy for holidays To many Americans, the holiday season means family feasts and celebrating with good friends. But overindulgence at Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas often leads to a New Year’s resolution to lose weight. This year, resolve to maintain a healthy lifestyle and still enjoy the festivities. It’s easier than it sounds. For example, the traditional centerpiece of most holiday tables is a plump, roasted turkey — an excellent low-calorie, low-fat main course. There are only 163 calories in a three-ounce serving of white meat without the skin. But use good judgment when buying the bird. Some self-basting turkeys are injected with oil high in saturated fat and sodium. Choose a plain frozen turkey instead, or check the lables for a self-basting hrand v ia i,i — .jr\m i wm*m..ilhiii riwiniwMWMm The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME <<TheHomeof Thoughtful Service*3 Phone 825-2361 Culpeper CEMETERY MEMORIALS that uses unsaturated vegetable oils. Turkey isn’t the only admissable entree. For those who prefer something a little different, Cornish hens might be the answer. Wild duck and pheasant are acceptably lean, as are partridge, quail and other small birds. Venison is very lean, and rabbit, with a flavor somewhat like chicken, has only a fraction of chicken’s fat. But avoid commerciallyraised game animals which have a higher fat content than their cousins from forest and field. American Heart Association Cookbook has several tasty game recipes. Try not to offset the hearthealthiness of the main course by going overboard on the trimmings. Learn to make a low-fat gravy, and reject that extra helping of dressing. Vegetables are practically fat-free and low in calories, so don’t be bashful about asking for seconds. But the calorie-conscious should know that butter and cream sauces add unnecessary fat and cholesterol. Flavor with garlic, onion, lemon juice, herbs or spices instead. The meal ends with good news: there’s no reason to skip dessert. Simply use a few tricks to make cookies, cakes and pies that taste great but have less fat and cholesterol. For example, substitute evaporated skim milk for evaporated milk, use two egg whites instead of one whole egg (2 egg whites + 1 tsp. vegetable oil = 1 whole egg), and choose lowfat toppings over whipped cream. And don’t forget that a simple bowl of mixed fruit is a natural way to satisfy the sweet tooth. Even if major holiday meals are under control, there is great temptation to nibble at office parties, neighborhood gatherings and family reunions. A smart snacker avoids baked goods and highly salted nuts and chips in favor of raw vegetables or fruit treats. Party-goers who just can’t resist should get involved in a stimulating conversation as far from the food as possible. The American Heart Association hopes this holiday season is a safe and healthy one for all.

Holiday gift ideas from the kitchen BY SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Affnt, Home Economics Gifts from the kitchen are often among the most treasured of all gifts. They are for a special group of people — perhaps a neighbor who is always willing to lend a helping hand, a teacher or a widower who seldom cooks. These gifts from your kitchen might be fruit cakes baked in coffee cans for friends who have asked for the recipe. This would be something to be enjoyed during the holidays and for years to come if you include the recipe. A home-baked loaf of bread becomes a gourmet's delight when it's accompanied by a glass of jelly. For understated elegance in gift giving, use goblets rather than jelly glasses as containers, then top them with a snowy froth of whipped paraffin. Homemade candies, spreads, and dips to help out on holiday tables — all of these tell the recipients that you cared enough about them to give the very best — something of yourself. Friendship loaf 1-1/2 c. coarsely chopped w alnuts 1 Tbsp. melted butter 1 c. granulated sugar 2 tsp. cinnamon 3 c. sifted all-purpose flour 4-12 tsp. baking powder 1-1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 c. shortening 1 egg 1-1/4 c. milk Set oven for 350 degrees. Toss walnuts with melted butter. Add 1 4 c. sugar and cinnamon; coat walnuts well and set aside. Resift flour with remaining 3 4 c. sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening. Beat egg lightly and combine with milk. Stir into dry mixture just until all of '* flour is moistened. Reserve 1 4 c. spiced nut meats for top of loaf; add remainder to batter and mix lightly. Spoon into greased 9x5.\4-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with remaining 14 c. walnuts. Let stand 15 minutes, then bake in preheated oven 65 to 70 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes, then turn out on rack to cool. Banana bread 1-12 c. all-purpose flour 12 c. sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 12 tsp. salt 12 c. wheat germ 3 medium, very- ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup) 1/4 c. buttermilk 14 c. oil 4 egg whites Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix in the wheat germ. Add all remaining ingredients and beat until well blended. Place in an oiled 8x4inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 1 hour, or until done. American Heart Association Frequently, during the holiday season, time is limited. The two following recipes use frozen bread dough to save time. Stollen 1 loaf (1 lb.) ready-to-bake bread 12 c. chopped candied mixed fruits 1 4 c. currants 1 4 c. golden raisins 1 4 e. chopped nuts or blanched almonds 1 Tbsp. brandy, if desired Flatten or roll out thawed loaf of dough slightly on floured board. Mix together fruits, nuts, and brandy. Place in center of dough and fold over. Knead into dough, using more flour if necessary. Roll dough into an oval 1 3-inch thick. Draw a line across center with end of rolling pin and fold at mark as for a Parker House roll. Place on well-greased cookie sheet and roll dough lightly with floured rolling pin. Brush with melted butter and let rise in warm place until doubled. Bake at 350 degrees 20 to 30 minutes. While still hot. brush with 1 Tbsp. white com syrup that has been mixed with 1 tsp. brandy. Cool on rack and sprinkle or spread with Brandy Fruit Icing. Brandy Fruit Icing — Blend together 1-1 2 e. sifted confectioners’ sugar. 3 Tbsp. finely chopped candied fruit. 1 Tbsp. brandy, and 1 to 2 Tbsp. cream. Panettone 1 loaf (1 lb.) frozen ready-to-bake bread 1 2 c. dark seedless raisins 14 c. golden seedless raisins 4 oz. candied pineapple, chopped 1 egg 1-12 tsp. cream or milk Soften bread until pliable and ready to work with hands. Mix raisins and pineapple together: knead into dough until well mixed throughout. Shape into a ball: place in greased 1quart round casserole. Mix together cream and egg. Brush top of loaf; let rise in warm place. When doubled in bulk, bake at 350 degrees about 30 to 35 minutes. Turn out of dish and cool on wire rack. Jellies, relishes, and conserves, those that carry your own special flavor, are alw ays appreciated. Jelly-making tips for gifts Wash glasses clean, rinse thoroughly in very hot water and drain, upside down, on paper or other toweling. Be sure glasses are on level surface for filling. Try to hold pan as close to top of glass as possible when ‘pouring — this prevents air bubbles from forming in jelly. Cover hot jelly with thin layer — not more than 1/8 inch — of hot, but not smoking paraffin. A thick layer will pull away from edge of glass as it cools. Be very careful when melting paraffin. Set pan in container — coffee tin or something similar — of water. Never heat it directly over the flame; it can catch fire. Apple conserve 8 c. thinlv sliced apples (about 3 lbs.) 2 oranges 1-1/2 c. water 5 c. sugar 2Tbsp. lime juice 1 2 c. ginger marmalade 1 c. broken nut meats Select tart apples; wash, core, pare, and slice thin. Slice unpeeled oranges very' thin. Cut each slice in quarters; remove any seeds. Combine water and sugar in large saucepan; stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Add lime juice, ginger marmalade and fruits. Bring to a boil and stir often until mixture thickens. If you have a candy thermometer, 220 degrees is where it should be. Stir in nuts. Remove from heat; skim, and ladle into sterilized, hot jelly glasses, or half-pint jars. Paraffin jelly glasses at once or seal lids on jars. Makes 7 (8-oz.) glasses. Wine jelly 2 c. wine (Sherry’, Sauteme, Port, Muscatel, Burgundy, or Rose) 3 c. sugar 1/2 bottle fruit pectin Measure wine into top of double boiler. Add sugar; mix well. Place over rapidly boiling water and heat 3 minutes or until sugar is all dissolved, stirring constantly. Remove from water and at once stir in liquid pectin. Pour quickly into sterilized glasses. Paraffin at once. Makes 5 (6oz.) glasses. Snow topping Melt 2 bars of paraffin. After pouring a thin layer over top of hot jelly, cool remaining paraffin until it becomes cloudy and until paraffin is foamy and starts to harden. This is no time for chatting — the paraffin hardens quickly and if it becomes too hard you must melt and start over. Spoon whipped paraffin over top of thin layer previously poured on. Heat it up. Makes enough for about 6 standard jelly glasses and with this topping you don’t need to wrap. Spreads in unusual containers are special treats. You can find containers everywhere — antique shops, flea markets, yard sales, gift shops, as well as in your own personal “junque” pile.

Turkey walk nets $2,400 On Saturday, Nov. 12 in Old Hollow a number of our residents walked six miles as participants in the Turkey Walk sponsored by the Rappahannock Unit of the American Heart Association. Each participant obtained sponsors who made contributions. The prizes were as follows: For $50 a Tshirt with the Turkey Walk logo; $125 a T-shirt and a turkey: for $250 a sweat suit and a T-shirt and turkey; and for $450 a radio and the above prizes. A total of $2,970 was pledged and $2,368 was turned in by the 39 walkers. The goal was $4,000. Top “collector/fund raiser” was Beverly Atkins who raised $800. Walking for the second consecutive year was Charles Eaton, who suffered a heart attack two years ago, and who raised $300. The third highest was Frances Foster who raised more than $300. The Turkey Walk is sponsored by Wampler-Longacre Turkey Inc., who supplies the prize turkeys and donates T-shirt monies to the Virginia affiliate of the American Heart Association. A heart association spokesman said, “We thank all who made this event so successful, both the walkers and those who sponsored them.’^ Dance duo at Gay St. “Thompson and Trammell deserve a full house and a standing ovation,” said Phyliss Quillen, art critic for the Daily News Record of Harrisonburg.

This unique duo, with guest artists Shane O’ Hara and William Seigh, will perform at the Gay Street Theater in Washington on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 8 p.m. Thompson and Trammell got together in 1983. Since then, they have presented four major duet concerts on the JMU campus and have received three faculty development grants, performing all around in the Washington area. Other critics have supported Quillen’s rave reviews: Alexandra Tomalonis of The Washington Post praised the “underlying w it and intelligence of both choreography and performance.” The two women were singled out for more praise after an appearance at Mt. Vernon College. They carried on as slightly daffy nuns in the original “Croaky Baroke,” created a visual interpretation of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins wild, bluesy “Put a Spell on You,” and presented a new work to a James Brown medley. Post dance critic Pamela Sommers was so pleased with this recent concert that she devoted a whole column to them. “Watch this pair," she advised, “and you’ll understand why they win awards." Local dance fans will be able to follow Ms. Sommers’ advice and watch the pair at the unusual local concert sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community. Tickets are $3 student, $fi general public in advance from the RAAC office in Washington, or at the ticket outlets: Picture This in Warrenton, Royal Oak in Front Royal, Culpeper Music Center, The Village Cafe in Washington, Burke’s Store in Woodville and Faith Mountain Company in Sperryville.

According to National Wildlife magazine, oil droplets coat the bird’s eyes, filtering out haze and glare. Each retina is packed with more than one million light collecting cells, eight times more than a human eye. This optical resolution gives it the ability to spot a mouse at ground level from a perch atop the Empire State Building.

School Panthers practice Rappahannock Newi phoKVCindy Matuui THE PANTHER VARSITY is in full practice gear, with the winter season set to begin early next month. Seniors' class trip wins approval The School Board has given tentative approval to the Class of '89’s senior trip. . .to Epcott Center in Orlando, Fla. “It’s an instructional trip but further afield,” noted Rappahannock County High School Principal John Toth. The 1987 and 1988 outings to Bryce for skiing and to Busch Gardens near Williamsburg went smoothly, he noted. “And I feel very good about this trip because I’ve been there. I know what to expect and what to anticipate.” This is not an outing to an amuseA natural insulator A frosty blanket of snow is more than a beautiful ground covering. Insulation is one of the most valuable gifts a winter’s snow provides.

The exhibits at Epcott Center by major U.S. industries on 21st-Century Family Life, Living Seas, World Ecosystems, Space Ship Earth and Journey into the Imagination are “extremely educational,” the principal noted. “It is a fantastic place!” Ih addition, students will visit Kennedy Space Center and the World Showcase to see exhibits by different nations. “The price seems very, very reasonable,” Mr. Toth said, adding that the cost will be about $200 per student with a substantial portion covered through various fund-raising projects, including a spaghetti dinner and a dance. Richards Bus Line will charge $3,300 to take the group of seniors and chaperones to Orlando and provide transportation during the three-day stay, scheduled for April 6-9. “School regulations will definitely be in place,” Mr. Toth assured the School Board. “These seniors haven’t graduated yet.” To date, 44 students — about half the senior class — have indicated interest in going, and there will be one sponsor for every 10 students. “I have great faith in our seniors. They’re a very responsible group,” the RCHS principal added. “It sounds like a winner to me!” said Bryant Lee, voicing the board’s consensus to approve the traditional class outing. “We’ll be watching this, and if it’s successful, we’ll consider other distance trips,” Superintendent David Gangel said. “This is a testing of the waters,” cautioned Chairman Beverly Massie. “It needs to be relayed to the seniors that their behavior will determine the possibilities for other groups.” 1 A Good Education is a Great Gift LORD FAIRFAX COMMUNITY COLLEGE SPRING SEMESTER REGISTRATION JANUARY 4th and 5th 12:00 noon - 7:00 p.m. Call (703)869-1120, or 1-800-666-lFCC (5322) « for information J£c>rc/ ^eurflur ^o/nmu/u'^ Zoc/Zep* PO BOX47, MIDDLETOWN.

Most of the investment is paid for with borrowed money. In other words, someone else’s dollars provides your mortgage money. Also, a mortgage loan is the only way the average consumer can borrow long-term money. This, then, is your big chance to turn inflation to your advantage. Your mortgage gives you full-price dollars to work with today. You then pay them back with cheaper dollars you will be earning for the next 20 to 30 years. On top of that, if your home increases in value by a conservative 6% per year, it will double its value every 12 years. This isn’t a cynical approach. It’s realistic. In fact, it’s one of the main reasons why many wealthy individuals continue to make big real estate investments. You can do the same with a home that you own and need anyway.

Blalock Cycle Co. ■ 170 Lee Highway Warrenton (703)347-4591 RCHS may expand curriculum The administrators and teachers at Rappahannock County High School are now studying options for curriculum expansion and lengthening the school day to seven class periods. Requirements for graduation are becoming more stringent every year, with students needing additional credits for graduation and for special academic diplomas, Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board at its November meeting. “We have to do something to meet this change.” “By offering additional courses, we will put our students in a much better position to compete,” Principal John Toth noted. “I’d like to see them be able to compete more directly with students from larger high schools." Classes under consideration include advanced placement English and Latin (which would be taught via the new electronic classroom), Biology II, Art II, Architectural Drawing, physi< 1 education elec tives for juniors and seniors, and semester courses in Business Law, Business Seminar, and Marriage and the Family. “How much feedback have you had on this from the students, the parents, and the teachers?” asked Chairman Beverly Massie. “Tremendous feedback from the faculty. In fact, that’s where almost all of these ideas came from,” the RCHS principal answered. He emphasized, however, that the curriculum study has only just begun. Concurrently, a committee is assessing the seven period day, and a master schedule is being prepared for computer testing to determine its feasibility, Mr. Toth reported. Students and parents are asked to pick between academic and vocational tracks when the students enter RCHS as eighth graders; some want to take courses from both categories but that proves difficult only six periods, he said. And as a small high school, RCHS has many “singleton” classes that are offered only once in the day, which presents scheduling problems and often prevents students from getting all the courses they want, he added. Of the new classes under consideration, some could be offered in a sixth period day, but others can't be instituted without the addition of a seventh class period, Mr. Toth said. In other business at the November meeting, the School Board: • received forms for the evaluation of Superintendent Gangel, which will acted on at the December session. • appointed Edward H. Bailey, Will Brown, Joel Daczewitz, Eileen Johnson, Holly Pendleton, Sandra Richardson, and Frances Thornton to the Vocational Education Advisory Council. • heard from the superintendent that cafeteria operations at both schools continue to run in the black and that participation in the high school lunch program continues at a higher level than last year. Schools send 'wish list' to legislators The School Board became the county’s first governmental entity to adopt a legislative agenda as it approved a “wish list” of actions it would like to see taken by the Virginia General Assembly at the 1989 session. The package, which Superintendent David Gangel sent out to the board members for review prior its Nov. 8 meeting, won quick and easy endorsement. It calls for: • an adjustment to the state’s funding formula to recognize school divisions that offer full day kindergarten. At present, all divisions re ceive state aid on the basis of halfday kindergarten. The change would mean nearly $40,000 more for Rappahannock, according to Dr. Gangel. • reversal of the Assembly’s 1988 action which reduced the state’s share of personnel costs for social security, life insurance and contributions to the state retirement system and lifting of the 1981-82 limit on these costs for non-instructional personnel. • a study by the legislature on implementation of new alternatives for containment or reduction of hospital ization insurance premiums. • state funding of Standards of Quality initiatives such as reduction of class size, remedial education, elementary counselors and a literacy passport. • opposition to legislation allowing elected school boards. Dr. Gangel will meet with Rappahannock’s representatives, Delegate Raymond R. (Andy) Guest and State Sen. Kevin Miller sometime before the session begins in January to present and explain the board’s legislative agenda. Multi-peril crop insurance “Increased yield variability — and the drought of 1988 — have caused many agricultural producers to think seriously about multi-peril crop insurance as a way to protect their investment in cash grains and other crops,” Extension Agent 1 Tommy Williams said last week. To assist farmers in their deci- a sion whether to pursue the MPCI p program, the Virginia Extension e Service is sponsoring a teleconfer- I ence on Multi-Peril Crop Insurance s on Thursday, Dec. 8 from 1-2:30 i p.m. Central Standard Time (noon- < :30 p.m. EST). The teleconference may be seen t satellite downlink sites at the Culeper Extension Office, the Northm Virginia 4-H Center outside 'ront Royal and the District Extenion Office in Warrenton.

Video Continued from page 1 when it happened," said Mr. Toth to the question of whether the suspect was the first to be sent back. On the basis of the film, the suspect was later convicted in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court of petty larceny. ’ Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said last week that he was informed of the videotape evidence when the school’s administration approached him about filing theft charges. He said that he was not aware of any legal requirement that the commonwealth’s attorney be notified in -advance of their use. “It was on school property, and off the top of my head I assume that if they want to put cameras in the hallways, or monitor the cafeteria, thev can do that. ‘ “In bathrooms, or in locker 'rooms,” Mr. Luke continued, “that might be a different question. But in areas open to the general public, I’m pot aware of any requirement to seek the permission or advice of the ^commonwealth’s attorney. ’’ School administrators, he added, have authority under the state code “to use measures they deem appropriate to ideal with problems.” ' Obviously, Mr. Luke said, “if you -put them in bathroom stalls you might have some problems with in-vasion of privacy, but they way they’ve been used, I don’t think that’s a problem.” Mr. Luke emphasized that, "I don’t want to leave the connotation that there is anything WTong or devious about this. There is nothingimproper in the use of a camera” in the conduct of a criminal investigation. In fact, Mr. Luke said, the ques- tion of admissibility of the videotape ' as evidence in the trial of the student -“came up, it was argued, and the .judge ruled to allow it. In a court test, it was approved.” And, the prosecutor added, “I’ll tell you one thing: In a criminal case it’s pretty convincing evidence. You bring in a film and show the person taking the stuff. From a prosecutor’s point of view, it’s about the best evidence you can get. ” In the second instance, the video camera was used in the RCHS commons area after school. “We work on prevention,” said Mr. Toth, reporting that the new areas of the high school have experienced “minor — very minor — problems that if left unchecked could become major problems.” Cigarette butts have been found in the carpeted auditorium, indicating that students are gaining entrance and smoking there despite locked doors, the principal said. Also, footprints were discovered on the tops of the $700-$800 tables in the commons area, he reported. “This causes me a great deal of Concern,” he said, noting that $1.7 million of the taxpayers’ money was spent on the high school expansion. “We have a very nice facility now, and I want to make sure the students take good care of it. “We try to set up supervision as best we can over all the areas students have access to, but we can’t be in all places at all times,” Mr. Toth continued. Students are allowed to Use the commons area after school to study or to wait for athletic practice to begin and “we pop our heads in there to see how things are going,” but there is no full-time monitor for the commons area, he said. Students were asked for the names of those who were walking across the table tops, but “you know the teen-age rule: don’t rat on your friends,” Mr. Toth added. When the table walking continued, the principal said, “we could have closed the area and told the students they had to wait outside, but I wanted to deal with the people who were causing the problem. I have a great deal of difficulty in penalizing the majority for the actions of a few.” So the camera was set up in Brion Patterson’s physics lab, and the five students caught on film walking on the table tops were “dealt with in a proportional manner” by being barred for five days from participating in after-school activities, Mr. Toth said. Several of the students were in the final days of sports tryouts and so the start of the penalty period was delayed for those individuals until after the team selection process was completed, he noted. “We didn’t want to really penalize anybody. We just wanted to send a firm message to take care of things here,” Mr. Toth said. According to the principal, there was no announcement to students of the videotaping possibility. “I did announce several times that we were having a problem with school property and that they were going to lose the privileges of the commons area if it didn’t stop.” While saying that videotaping will not become a “general practice” at RCHS, Mr. Toth nonetheless held out the possibility that the camera will be used to monitor students spotted smoking outside in order to determine just exactly what it is they are smoking. “I’m very much in favor of using video cameras where we suspect drug or alcohol use. I don’t want drugs or alcohol in our school. I don’t want theft in our school. I don’t want vandalism in our school,” Mr. Toth affirmed, adding that he believes the public supports his position. “I will use w hatever legal means I need to use in order to perform my job in an efficient manner [and to ensurej a clean, safe, favorable environment in our school.” He did say, however, that the video camera will not be employed in the bathrooms to catch violators of the “no-smoking” rule. “It would be ridiculous to put a camera anywhere where students may be exposing themselves. In the girls’ shower room? No way in the world. In the boys’ shower room? No way in the world.” He acknowledged that RCHS students are upset at the video camera surveillance and that they doubt the administration’s assurance that video monitoring is not a common practice. “What’s going on is a lot of paranoia,” he said, describing the students’ reaction of scanning classroom ceilings for hidden cameras. “My goal is not to nab some student for doing something Wrong. My goal is to get it stopped! My goal is to get the students to behave within certain conduct limits,” the RCHS principal concluded. “I don’t enjoy catching students doing something wrong. I enjoy catching students doing something right. I enjoy positive exchanges.” But if misuse of school property continues, so will the video surveillance, Mr. Toth indicated. “The School Board, the Board of Supervisors and the taxpayers expect us to take care of this school,” he concluded.

Opposite The Post Office Old Town Sperryville 703-987-8521 Signs Continued from page 1 ness has going for it.” And this proposed sign is off-site, he emphasized. “If you actually had a business there, it would be a different matter," he told Mrs. O'Brien. Not only is the sign off-site, but it’s far removed from the business in question, added Zoning Administrator John McCarthy. He maintained that Mrs. O’Brien would be better advised to ask for a sign at Massies Comer where motorists would turn off the highway to get to the restaurant. But motorists need time to consider whether they want to stop for a meal, Mrs. O’Brien contended, saying the three miles between where she proposes to erect the sign and the turn at Massies Comer allows that opportunity. James Swindler, the Board of Zoning Appeals’ delegate to the Planning Commission, recalled that a permit for an off-site sign on Route 522 had been issued to Oasis Winery, a business not even located within Rappahannock County. Mrs. O’Brien’s restaurant is a Rappahannock County business, he I said, and as such, for every dollar it collects, a penny comes back to the county as state sales tax revenue. “People passing through, if they don’t know where the businesses are, they’ll drive on to a restaurant in Page County. . . I think signs are very helpful.” “The School House Restaurant should have all the signs it needs,” but only on-site, said Phil Irwin, the sole speaker at the commission’s public hearing on Mrs. O’Brien’s application. “To stick a sign out in the middle of nowhere is inappropriate . . .Pm against putting off-site signs anywhere for anything. They’re always a visual blight.” Addressing Mr. Swindler’s point. Supervisor Massie acknowledged Rappahannock County needs additional sales tax revenue, but maintained allowing off-site signs would, in the long run, defeat the purpose of attracting more customers to local businesses. If Rappahannock’s mountain vistas are blocked by the clutter of signs, tourists will simply stop coming, he said, as by a 4-1 vote., with Mr. Swindler opposed, the Planning Commission recommended the special exception permit be denied by the Board of Supervisors. In other action at last Wednes1 day’s meeting, the Planners: • recommended issuance of special exception and special use permits to Charles K. Estes for renovation of an existing building on his one-acre lot in Sperryville into a single-unit apartment. The apartment, which is intended for Mr. Estes’ mother,' would be the third dwelling on the lot, requiring the special use permit for multi-family housing in Sperryville’s village zone. The special exception is necessary because the property lies in a flood plain. “The bulk1 ng is in the neighborhood of 100 years old, and it’s never suffered any flood damage that I know of,” Mr. Estes noted. • recommended approval of Sam Snead’s special exception application to subdivide 87 acres into three parcels. The divisions would result in more lots than can be approved administratively, but the density limits for agricultural zones of one dwelling unit per 25 acres would be maintained, Mr. McCarthy advised. • recommended a special exception permit be granted to Michael Ray Smoot to operate a taxidermy business as a home occupation in the garage of his Amissville residence. “I don’t want to do this on a large scale,” said Mr. Smoot, adding that he already has a full-time job. “This is a hobby thing I’ve been reading about and fooling with. I’d like to carry it a little bit further.” The only chemicals used in the work would be salt and borax, a laundry « powder which can be purchased at any grocery store, he told the Commission. • endorsed adoption of amendments which would move regulations on building heights, setback distance and other land-use standards from the zoning ordinance to the subdivision ordinance. ■ The action comes at County Attorney Peter Luke’s request, noted Mr. McCarthy. Culpeper County was sued for making a requirement in its zoning ordinance when the state’s enabling legislation specified the regulatory authority came under subdivision ordinance controls. “It was purely a technicality, but Culpeper lost the case," he said, adding that copying the sections from Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance to the subdivision ordinance would prevent the same thing from happening here. • set a work session on revisions to the comprehensive plan for Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. at the courthouse. .

But there is another very important reason I am running for governor. I sense that the Republican Party is headed toward a bitterly divisive campaign for the nomination. That type of campaign will tear us apart, and certainly hand the governor’s office to the Democrats for the third consecutive time,” Mr. Guest said. He promised a positive campaign, in which he intends to stress two things, “issues and unity.” He invited his likely opponents, Congressman Stan Parris (8th, Va.), former Virginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman and retiring U.S. Senator Paul Trible, “to do the same for the sake of our party and the sake of Virginia.” Sen. Trible and Rep. Parris have already announced their candidacy for the governorship. Mr. Coleman will become the fourth formal candidate next week, during a three-day statewide campaign trip. The 49-year-old delegate is married to the former Mary Scott Der rick. They have three children. Mr. Guest is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, and graduated from Yale University with a degree in economics. In addition to his legislative duties, Mr. Guest manages the family’s farm outside Front Royal and serves on the board of directors of Peoples Bank of Front Royal, Bessemer Securities Corp. and Bessemer Trust. “I know,” Mr. Guest said Monday, “that holding this office is one of the highest honors one can have, and I approach this quest with all due humility and respect. . .The office of governor presents an increased challenge and opportunity to be of service, to attempt to ensure that the community is better for my having been here, to pass on to future generations a better tomorrow. “This is who I am,” Mr. Guest concluded. “What you see is what you get —integrity, honor, strength, a Republican working hard for all Virginians. I have the experience in the government of Virginia; I reflect and represent the views of most Virginians; I have the desire to undertake the increased challenge on behalf of all Virginian? } . and I ask the assistance of all Virgin- ■ ians to achieve the Republican nomination and subsequent election to serve as governor for all Virginians.” Call 675-3349 to place your ad IftiflU.OniiUimcif'/’v SteSWIMiX14.IiJiiJa.il J IMPRESS EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST With Beautiful Personalized 1 Christmas Cards ★ Impressive ★ Economical ★ < ★ Convenient ★ Many selections available; Order Today at the Rappahannock News Office on Main Street in Washington, VA.

Dear F riends, A History of Greeting Cards It may seem that the cards that come in our holiday mail are the same year after year. But there have been subtle differences in the ■K'ays we wish each other joy ever since businessman Henry Cole put Christmas in an envelope nearly 150 years ago. Card artwork has changed. Subjects come into vogue, then disappear as our collective fancy is captured by a new pastime or historic event. Laser technology makes the snow scenes of the ’80s as lacy and intricate as those of cards crafted a century ago. Our Victorian ancestors sent greetings to relatives and close friends; today we acknowledge our mail carrier, hairstylist, school bus driver, day-care administrator and boss. Our dog might send a card to the neighbor’s cat. And as lovely as contemporary cards are, we also have the option to surprise faraway friends and relatives with special telegrams and video greetings. QUEENS CHRISTMAS According to “A New Approach to Christmas Greetings” by Vi Ann Oden (Anvipa Press), poor children were frequently the subject of Christmas cards during the second half of the Victorian era. But by 1926, according to an American card expert, cards did not “even intimate the idea that unhappiness exists. They would fall quickly by the wayside, for everyone is intent on scattering sunshine and joy.” Many, early Victorian cards were enhanced with satin and fringed silk borders. Fan shapes were popular—as were embossed, stand-up and jeweled cards. Some made squeaking noises. Victorians continued to handmake their greetings until Fcishion Boutique Formal and Semi-Formal Dresses for The Holiday Season Sportswear and Accessories 329 Southgate Shopping Center Culpeper, VA 22701 Hours: Mon.-Fri. 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Sat. 10 a.m.-6 p.m. ' Phone 703/825-1656 “H8*»nOliday H°urs Starting November 25t We will remain open ryoyr shopping convenient onday-Saturday 10:00-5:0 1.1 Antique Christmas post-cards from the collection of Mary Jane Solomon of Reston. printing techniques improved during the 1860s. An article in an 1885 edition of Home Chat describes the cards sent by America’s first lady, the wife of President Cleveland, as “peculiarly interesting, inasmuch as they are all of more or less Puritan nature or time, and are unequaled for chaste simplicity and good taste.” At the same time, says Home Chat, England’s Queen Victoria was sparing no expense with the “thousands’ of greetings she sent out to royal relatives and “neighbours.” The queen’s cards were 10 by 8 inches in size and depicted a lavish Nativity scene. During World War I, Americans sent kisses at Christmastime. Cards decorated with patriotic stars and stripes had a special gum-coated surface where the sender could press his or her lips:—and so would the recipient, thereby sharing the “kiss.” Christmas greetings during the Depression implied that better times were coming. During World War II, both Santa and Uncle Sam carried flags. Special cards cheered servicemen “Across the Miles?” Humor seasoned studio cards of the ’50s. Reindeer grinned and Santas were silly—and so were the messages within. In the ’60s and ’70s it was not unusual to see peace symbols on cards. Santa, dressed in an astronaut’s suit, emerged from a space capsule to take a historic first step on the moon. During the ’80’s, Santa jogs and wears running shoes. He communicates from the North Pole via satellite dish, keeps his “naughty and nice” list on a personal computer and relaxes with Mrs. Claus in front of their home entertainment center. Although lifestyle trends modify the yearly kaleidoscope of cards, traditional designs remain popular. Many of today’s cards resemble those that graced your grantparents’ coffee table 50 years ago. Colors such as red and green and traditional motifs such as trees, wreaths, home settings, snow and sleighs, and Nativity scenes never go out of style. f The Blue Ridge Hardware Furniture Gilts You Can " Alford ^ )rr ■ Tables Pine or Oak -i > ■ .! i iJj • Broyhill' * SOFAS .

Greenery Galore r ■ ^ ver wonder how B ^Christmas trees came about? Pines were first decorated at Christmastime in the mid-16th century. The Germans decorated trees at Easter, and this was a natural extension of that custom. Other countries were slow to pick up the tradition. There was no mention of Christmas trees in Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” written in the mid-19th century. They were still considered an eccentric extravagance. Soon merchandising took hold in America. By the late 1800’s, Christmas trees were an American rage—bigger and more laden, the better. Christmas trees are almost as varied as snowflakes. Decorations aside, there are more than 55 species of pine in the United States alone, most of which would make lovely Christmas trees. Noble, Douglas and Scotch are a few of the favorites. Choosing and decorating your Christmas tree initiates the holiday season for the whole family. One way to make this a bona fide adventure is to cut your own tree. Cut Trees If you live near a national forest, telephone the park service to find out if there is cutting in your area. They’ll issue you an inexpensive permit if they are available. This is as close as you can come to an old-fashioned Christmas. Otherwise, there are many “choose and cut” operations nationwide. Trees are grown in fields and prepriced according to grade. Growers provide saws and cutting instructions. Some “choose and cut” operations provide hot cider and hayrides. Many families can get a lot of pleasure out of a trip to the convenient comer Christmas tree lot. Be sure to choose a fresh tree. Avoid any that look dry or damaged. A few easy preparations once you’ve carried the tree home will preserve its freshness into January. Recut the bottom at a slant and set it in a pail of water in the coolest area of the house or basement. Allow it to soak for a couple of days. Then situate the tree in a large kettle filled with sand or gravel. Add water to keep the tree moist. Place the tree as far as possible from direct sunlight, fireplaces and heaters. You can add a Christmas tree preservative or floral preservative to the water. Live Trees If you are thinking about live trees, consider a Norfolk Island pine. Their airy horizontal foliage makes them an ideal indoor plant all year. Or brave to decorate a non-pine. Perhaps there’s a house or garden plant you’ve been longing for. Christmas may be the best time to buy and celebrate its purchase with ornaments. Fruit, citrus and nut trees and even some cactuses make unusual and lively scaffolding for garlands and lights. Artificial Trees Some season greeters prefer artificial Christmas trees. There are almost as many fake varieties as there are authentic. Basically, artificial trees come in either plastic or PVC. Plastic is stiffer, less genuine feeling, while PVC has a nice, almost silken quality. As expected, PVC costs about 30 percent more. The most popular tree “species” is the fuller, denser Canadian pine. Almost all “species” come in either green or white. A “crystalline” finish— kind of festive iridescent white—is available in several styles. These fake trees are not bargains. A 2-foot tree, $250 in plastic and $300 or more in PVC . But then again, you don’t have to buy a new one every year. 1---.A - A Capitol tree. Pretty Poinsettias Since evergreen boughs are flammable, fill in around the fireplace with poinsettias instead. Or blooming poinsettias in the window bring a rosy hue to the room. J. No. 1 holiday plant choice. These South American natives are bred in 65 varieties and five different colors. They are on the retail market for only six weeks, from midNovember through December. Nevertheless, they are the No. 1 potted plant in terms of wholesale dollar value, outselling even mums and geraniums. If you have a poinsettia from last year, bringing it to bloom is a tricky business. It needs cooler temperatures, around 60 F, shorter 10-hour days and 14 hours of uninterrupted darkness for at least three months. (Oh well, maybe next year.). Rosemary & Thyme Not just for halls are the boughs of holly. Use holly around your candlesticks to decorate your ' Christmas Feasts. Make a miniature Christmas tree for a table decoration by sticking a Styrofoam cone full of holly. Herbs and spices contribute to the substance and sensuality of Christmas, both in tradition and in practicality. Rosemary is possibly the most Christmasy of the herbs. Pious etymology maintains that the blue flowers are attributed to the blue of Mary’s robe. As a potted plant, rosemary adds an intoxicating presence. Include rosemary in your homemade potpourri. Potpourri stashed in canisters, pomanders and wicker baskets around the house will fill the house with a welcoming fragrance.

Bing Crosby and Danny Daye are a song-anddance team who visit a Vermont farmhouse, where they join up with a sister act, played by Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen. Together they team up to save the owner of the farm. Sweet, sappy, full of the Christmas spirit--not to mention immortal songs like “Sisters,” “Count Your Blessings” and, yup, “White Christmas.” “A Christmas Carol” (MGM/UA)-This is the story of oT Ebenezer Scrooge, the meanest miser in London. He overworks his humble cleric, whose little son may die. Well, Ebenezer gets a visit from, quite literally, the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future and sees the error of his ways. Based on the timeless Charles Dickens novel. “Santa Claus: The Movie” (Media)-The legend of Santa Claus comes to life in this big budget Hollywood extravaganza. In it, Dudley Moore stars as an elf who teams up with Santa to save Christmas from a dastardly toy tycoon, played by John Lithgow. Good fun. “It’s A Wonderful Life” (Public Domain)—This is director Frank Capra’s sentimental classic. In it, Jimmy Stewart plays a despondent man who’s about to kill himself on Christmas Eve. However, before he does the deed, an eccentric angel shows him what life would have been like in his hometown if he had never been bom. The message is very life-affirming. “Miracle On 34th Street” (Playhouse Video)—Is Santa Claus real? Don’t answer until you see this venerable old favorite of a yuletide film. In it, Macy’s department store hires what it thinks is an actor as Santa, but gets quite a bit more than it had in mind. As in, uh, the real thing. “A Christmas Story” (MGM/UA)—The scene is the Midwest in the early 1940’s, a young boy wants a Daisy air rifle for Christmas, and it’s all sweet sen'.'2 timents from the nation’s heartland from there.

Try your hand at these charming Victorian fan ornaments. The process is surprisingly simple: a large lace piece is stiffened into a fan shape, delicate dried flowers are arranged in the lace, some eucalyptus is attached at the bottom, and the final touch is a colorful ribbon. These fans are ideal for gracing holiday packages, brightening a tree or hung as ornamentation throughout the house. Why not decorate your entire tree with these exquisite lacy, fans in colors that match your decor? They are easy and inexpensive-a definite plus if you are just starting out in the world of “make your own”. Other possibilities for Victorian decorations are limited only by your imagination. Create bouquets, wreaths and baskets. Or try a smaller version of fan made into a “corsage” to coordinate with your Christmas outfit. i u create your own v ictonan ornaments,have on hand plenty of dried flowers, yards of pretty lace, fabric stiffener, lengths of satin ribbon, floral wire, baskets and, if desired, magnets. All these can be purchased at Ben Franklin stores or any craft store. A glue gun is also essential. (Keep in mind that they get extremely hot.) Larger pieces of glue require longer drying time. A small drop of glue dries in 30 seconds. A pencil will help anchor the material and guard from bums. Remember your imagination is your guide. Use any color and type of flower and ribbon you desire. A variety of colorful flowers on hand will add to your possibilities. Larger flowers are placed in odd numbers with the bigger flowers nearer the bottom of the fan for best visual appeal i Create Your Own Ornaments Finished fan fashions will embellish trees and packages. PHOTOS BY BONNIE JACOBS We thank Karen Quanbeck of Middleburg for sharing these instructions with us. r 1 Victorian Fans 1. Take a piece of 3' piece of wide lace trim and gather by basting the lower edge along an 8" piece of floral wire. Gather the material as tightly as possible to create a fan effect. You will probably use 3" of the wire to gather in. Twist wire ends together forming a circle. Cut off extra wire. Spray lace, following directions on can, with fabric stiffener. Allow to dry overnight. Next day, cut the lace circle in half, fastening the wire ends. 2. Place small dried flowers individually through holes in lace anchoring with glue. Use enough flowers to be colorful, but not so many as to crowd. Place larger flowers such as eucalyptus (Karen suggests three) at die bottom of the fan in the center. Again, anchor with glue gun. 3. A decorative ribbon adds the final touch. Make a bow, put a dot of glue on the back side of die ribbon, then glue onto the fan. Allow at least 20 minutes to dry. A magnet can be placed on back turn your fan into a refigerator decoration. 4. Hang on tree, anchor to a package or place on your refrigerator. Stand back and admire your handiwork. ~ ’Tis the Season... Special Flower Arrangements and Gifts...

Purrrr-fect 44 I t is not at all extraordinary on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to hear the mother or father say to the children, ‘We can’t open the packages yet; Kitty isn’t here.’ This is a well-trained family,” says the feline heroine of “The Silent Miaow” by Paul Gallico (Crown Publishers). “Irrespective of special presents for us in the shape of catnip mice, ping-pong balls or other toys, we can also sniff into and play with everybody else’s presents.” As any pet owner knows, holiday cheer extends to the family pets. And what better time to spoil Fido and Princess with every little toy on the market? Cats will lunge at a mink mouse. Dogs will chew for hours on a beefflavored rawhide bone. Give each a selection of top-drawer gourmet treats (although if you spoil ac& with Nova Scotia salmon, she will1 Sever deign to eat canned cat food again). The most high-tech animal gift this year has to be an electronic flea collar. Apparently a high-frequency sound that cats, dogs and humans can’t hear keeps fleas and ticks at bay. Look for the collar in your local pet store. Your fish is sure to appreciate new aquarium accoutrements, especially a castle he can swim through or a pile of rocks he can hide in. Birds love mirrors, hells and toys they can peck. Hamsters and gerbils can always use a new feeder, a wheel to run in or a maze to climb through. If a fanatical pet owner is on your list, pet care books are always in order. Gallico’s book will charm cat owners. So will Desmond Morris’ “Catwatching” and “Catlore” (both from Crown Publishers), which conjecture on the often vexing feline. Morris’ “Dogwatching” (Crown Publishers) is a must for dog owners.

Yuletide Y ummies i, r If ^ ver notice how people B ^who would never ^“"^^^normally think of hosting a dinner party or open house suddenly catch the entertaining bug with a vengeance during the holidays? Maybe it’s the Christmas carols and holiday specials on radio and television. Or the Christmas lights on every street comer from San Francisco to Savannah. The holidays just have a way of warming up that dormant spirit of hospitality. And for good reason. The holidays are the perfect time to spread good will by gathering friends and family in a festive, casual setting. Keep food simple and get your invitations out early when planning your yuletide bash. Here are a few hors d’euvre and dessert recipes to get party ideas flowing. CHICKENCRANBERRY CANAPES 1/2 cup raw cranberries 3 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) softened unsalted butter Salt and pepper 12 thin slices firm white bread, crusts removed About 8 ounces thinly sliced cooked white meat of chicken or turkey Whole cranberries for garnish , Yield: 48 canapes. In small, heavy saucepan, combine cranberries and water. Bring to a boil, stirring. Add sugar and lemon zest. Lower beat and simmer about 10 minutes until cranberries are soft and mixture is thickened. Remove from heat, stir in horseradish and let cool for 3 minutes. Transfer to work bowl of food processor. Cut butter into about 10 pieces and add to work bowl. Pulse machine on and off until mixture is well combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper and pulse again to mix. Butter may be made ahead and stored in refrigerator for several days. Return to room temperature before using. Spread bread with cranberry butter. Place chicken slices atop buttered bread and sprinkle meat lightly with salt and pepper. Cut each sandwich into four quarters—either squares or diagonals—and tuck a leaf or small sprig of watercress into top of each canape. Arrange in single layer on platter. Before serving, garnish platter with large spray of watercress topped with a few cranberries so that it looks like a spray of holly. Note: Canapes may be made up to 4 hours ahead. Cover with dampened paper towels and wrap whole platter well with plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator. SPICE ROASTED NUTS 6 tablespoons butter 1 large clove garlic, peeled and halved - 1 1/2 teaspoons mace 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus additional as needed 3 cups pecan halves, walnut halves, blanched almonds or combination Yield: 3 cups Preheat oven to 300 F. In large skillet, melt butter with split garlic clove over low heat. Stir in mace and salt, then stir in nuts, tossing them in butter until completely coated. Spread nuts and any remaining butter on rimmed baking sheet in single layer. Discard garlic. Roast in preheated oven for about 30 minutes, stirring often, until nuts are fragrant and lightly toasted. Taste and toss nuts with a little additional coarse salt if desired. Cool and store tightly covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in freezer for up to 2 weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving. POACHED PEAR OR FIG WITH CREME ANGLAISE Yield: 6 servings. Creme Anglaise: Take 1 vanilla bean, split it and add to 2 cups milk in heavy saucepan. Bring to boil, remove from heat and let stand 5 or 10 minutes. Beat 6 egg yolks and 4 tablespoons sugar together. Take vanilla bean out of milk, which should be cooler now.

Calendars for Christmas A classy type of gift that is almost guaranteed to keep you on the recipient’s mind for at least a year is a calendar. Not just any calendar, mind you, but what might be called the art calendar. That is, calendars that look , good while keeping track of passing time. There is, for example, the “1989 Americana Calendar, ” featuring the artist Charles Wysocki’s renderings of classic folk art (AMCAL). There is also a series of calendars that take the art concept quite literally, that is, featuring the work of great artists. Among the artists featured under the Fine Art Label are Marc Chagall, Norman Rockwell, John Singer Sargent, American Impressionists, Matisse, Mary Cassatt, John James Audubon and Van Gogh (Abbeville Press). For an art-ish calendar showing off the works of an entity you might 1989 ^CALENDAR [ For an extra-special gift choose calendars produced locally. , call the great Creator, there’s a series called Dream Calendars. The titles sort of speak for themselves: “The 1989 Grand Canyon Calendar,” “The 1989 Yosemite Calendar,” “The 1989 California Wilderness Calendar,” and others of similar ilk (NAL/Dutton). Be it a deity or a mortal, it’s likely you’ll be able to find your favorite artist on some calendar somewhere. Among the multitude of other calendar offerings—all great for gifting—are: “Georgia O’Keefe 1989 Calendar” (Abrams), “Calendar Of Angels 1989” (The Donning Co.), “1989 Claude Monet” (Neues) and “Llewellyn’s 1989 astrological Calendar” (Llewellyn Publications). And finally, how about a calendar that reeks of upper-crust sensibilities, yet positively reeks of beefcake.7 Can it be done? Ahh, yes. There’s the “1989 Opera Heartthrob Calendar” (Nevraumont). A FIELD OF HORSES The World of Marshall P. Hawkins Text by James L. Young M.F.H. Introduction by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis For more than 50 years photographer Marshall P. Hawkins has chronicled the riding world of foxhunting, racing, and eventing. In all regions of the country, Hawkins' photos are treasured by horse lovers of all stripes. In 1962, Hawkins' instincts led him to capture Jacqueline Kennedy, then First Lady, as she was catapulted, head-first, over a fence while foxhunting with the Piedmont Hunt. Sensitive to the family's sense of privacy, Hawkins gained the Kennedy's approval before publishing the picture. Life magazine bought the American publishing rights, and when the London Dailu THE WORUMH-' MARNHAI.I. P. HAV> KJNS SW| JAMES L. YOUNG M.F.H. fhinmrd In I'aa/neftne Kennedy ( (ikbjk Express bought the world rights, Hawkins became internationally renowned. A FIELD OF HORSES is both a tribute to Marshall P. Hawkins' photography and a celebration of the horse world. Over 250 color and black-and-white photographs portray the many worlds of horses—from the showing, hunting, and steeplechasing to the celebrity owners, riders, and beautiful landscapes.
