By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahaitiwek Newa Staff Writer In response to concerns raised by the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors over safety hazards posed by increased truck traffic on Route 522, highway officials are now planning to re-open Route 17 in Fauquier County to tractor-trailers upon completion of the final 1.5 miles of dual-laning near Marshall, expected late next summer. “We have re-analyzed the situation, and right now we don’t plan to delay the re-opening of Route 17 until the spur (to divert traffic around the town of Warrenton) is completed,” said District Engineer Thomas Farley in a telephone interview Tuesday. According to Mr. Farley, the decision represents a compromise between the competing interests of Warrenton and Rappahannock County. “We have two opposing points of view. . .There’s concern on the pvt of the town to avoid having trucks use Business 29. The town wants the ban continued until the spur is built to link Route 17 with the Warrenton bypass. They don’t want trucks mixing with the other traffic through town. We all know that does create problems. ” On the other hand, the district engineer continued, the Rappahannock supervisors want an end to heavier traffic on Route 522 as a result of the ban on Route 17. “So we recently agreed that the better action would be to wait until the northern section of Route 17 near Marshall is dual-laned” and then lift the ban, Mr. Farley said. But he emphasized that this is a consensus of the moment. “There’s no such thing as an absolute answer (on when Route 17 will SMBAN,p.l3 Patrolling the roads Rappahannock News photo Lou Hatter CHECKING ONE OF MANY suspicious vehicles cruising Rappahannock’s lonely dirt roads, Lt. Jeff Brown discovers yet another out-of-county vehicle whose occupants are carrying rifles but lack permission to hunt anywhere in the county. This man from Culpeper Co., stopped on Route 627 outside Washington, said he was on his way to Midland, in Fauquier Co., to hunt. Despite such stories, Sheriff J. H. Woodward said that the patrols have apparently cut down on the number of roadhunters this year — “ so far. ” Pethtel says Va. could build proposed bypass alone •3*5 By BURKE DAVIS III Animlcl Newspapers Staff Writer The Virginia Department of Transportation will reveal a narrowed field of possible corridors for a western bypass around Washington later this week, and there are indications that one of those alternatives will be the western-most route that strikes through the heart of Fauquier County. Trasnporation commissioner Ray Pethtel also confirmed opponents’ fears that the state might consider building the bypass without federal funds. If only state funds are used, Commissioner Pethtel apparently has the authority to place roads wherever he sees fit, without public hearings, legislative concurrence, or judicial review. H. Frank Hancock, VDOTs project manager for the bypass, said that Maryland and Virginia officials still have some details to work out, and he declined to reveal the routes until a press release is available. “We’re shooting for the end of this week,” he said. But Bob Dennis, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, gleaned sketchy information from several sources. He said that three possible corridors have been identified for further study — rather than two corridors VDOT earlier said it would choose. “Indications are that the westernmost route will be included. I would be very surprised if it is not one of the possible corridors,’' Mr. Dennis said. That route enters Fauquier from the south, just a few "Sure, it would be easier with federal funds. But there's little doubt in my mind that we could build it with state and regional funds and with tolls." — Ray Pethtel Va. Commissioner of Transportation miles from Route 17, courses east of Warrenton, and crosses Route 29 at New Baltimore to run west of the Bull Run Mountains to Thoroughfare Gap and beyond into Loudoun County. Mr. Dennis said that the potential corridors on the eastern route around Washington, through Maryland, would also be reduced to three instead of two possibilities. VDOT and MDOT have said that after this first-round selection the potential corridors will be subjected to detailed study involving traffic analysis based on computer-model projections. Commissioner Pethtel responded to the concern voiced by opponents of the bypass here that the state could build it without federal funds. “Sure,” he said. “It would be easier with federal funds. But there’s little doubt in my mind that we could build it with state and regional funds and with tolls. I don’t have any doubt that could be done. ” State law gives Mr. Pethtel, as Com missioner of Transportation, the authority to choose the location of state roads. Federal law imposes more stringent environmental standards on highways than the state law does, and also requires more public input. Under state law, Mr. Pethtel would not have to hold public hearings. Nor would his decision require any action from the state legislature, and it would be immune from review by state courts. Because rulings on these issues were handed down by courts before certain changes were made in the state’s transportation laws, it is possible they would no longer apply. Fauquier planning director Richard McNear, asked if state funding would render the outer beltway more likely, responded, “Yeah. Just straight state funds I would think a very difficult proposition. The toll road idea makes it easier.” Mr. McNear has said all along that state transportation officials have already chosen the route they want, and that informational meetings and public hearings will be just for show. ' In any case. Commissioner Pethtel gave assurances that public hearings will be held. Project manager Hancock said that “we’re expecting another series of meetings, probably in March.” Informational meetings on the six possible corridors first outlined by consultant Bellomo- McGee Inc. were held earlier this fall. “We’re having a difference of opinion as to whether the next meetings will be informational, workshop meetings or public hearings. It will be more than the workshops, but how much more we have not decided.” Mr. Pethtel committed firmly to public hearings. “We will have another round of public meetings that will have a public hearing format,” he said. “We obtain public input in all the meetings.” Does ‘public hearing format’ mean, in fact, formal public hearings? “Yes,” Commissioner Pethtel answered. He said that in his opinion the meetings — and hearings — will take place in early summer. In October Bellomo McGee principal Salvatore Bellomo said that his firm would not finish its study of the short list of routes until next fall. The schedule apparently has been advanced. Mr. Hancock said that the Maryland and Virginia highway departments are still hammering out the text of a news reSee BYPASS, p. 14 Finding no provisions for one-unit apartments, BZA rejects Estes's request By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Taking a strict constructionist stance at odds with both the Planning Commission and the county administrator, Rappahannock’s Board of Zoning Appeals last week denied a special use permit application for conversion of an existing structure into a one-unit apartment. Charles K. “Pete” Estes, the supervisor from Piedmont District, proposes to remodel an old blacksmith shop into a small apartment for his mother. His one acre lot on the corner of Sperryville’s main intersection already has two dwell* ings. However, the zoning ordinance allows up to 10 multifamily units per acre in Spetryville’s commercial village zone. But the ordinance also defines multi-family housing as a “residential building containing three or more separate dwelling units . . . generally (having) a common outside entrance ...” In the absence of a provision for family apartments in the commercial village zone - an omission by oversight rather than intent, according to the Planning Commission - County Administrator John McCarthy, in his capacity as the county’s zoning administrator, construed Mr. Estes’s proposed use to be a variation of multi-family housing and thus allowable by special permit. The Planning Commission accepted that interpretation as consistent with the intent for Sperryville’s commercial village zone, voting unanimously to recommend the BZA grant the special use permit. At the same time, the planners indicated they would propose an amendment to correct the omission in the next round of zoning ordinance changes. “I’m calling it multi-family housing,” Mr. McCarthy told the BZA last Wednesday, repeating the explanation he’d presented to the Planning Commission. “So there’s just something left out of this ordinance,” Chairman Lee Bird replied, noting that local officials had “plainly intended” to allow the type of use proposed by Mr. Estes in Sperryville’s “built-up town area.” “But once you start reading something into the ordinance, you go down a tricky path,” cautioned Sid Gottlieb, the zoning board’s representative from Stonewall-Hawthome District. The implication from the ordinance’s definition of multi-family dwelling is that the units must be in one building, he pointed out. “Basically, this is a single family detached dwelling,” said BZA member Butch Zindel, adding that the ordinance doesn’t provide for a second single family unit on a lot zoned village commercial. ~ ~ “I feel your inclination to favor this application is in the right ball park,” Mr. Gottlieb told the county administrator. “I feel we should try to go along when an applicant wants to do something reasonable . . . But about the only guidance the judge gave me (upon appointment to the BZA) is that we’re not supposed to rewrite the ordinance. We’re supposed to interpret it strictly.” In an earlier application, Chairman Bird recalled, a Flint Hill lot owner needed a variance from setback regulations for an addition to his house. The BZA determined the variance couldn’t be granted because the conditions encountered by the landowner were of a general and recurring nature. But in denying the variance, the BZA suggested an ordinance amendment to correct the problem, and the Board of Supervisors adopted that amendment. “Everything worked out right, but we had to go through the proper procedures,” said Mr. Bird, adding those same procedures should be followed in Mr. Estes’s case. “This is an interpretation of intent,” countered Mr. McCarthy, noting that the Planning Commission had verified the ordinance’s intent as allowing the type of family apartment as proposed by Mr. Estes in Sperryville’s village .' 1 See BZA, p. 13 Existing wells given priority at Rapp. Lakes Health ruling may slow development By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N*w« Staff Writer “Fir»t come, first serve” will be the rule for Rappahannock Lakes when the state's private water supply regulations finally become effective. According to regional sanitarian manager Charles Shepherd, that means owners of unimproved lots in the subdivision —which was recorded in the late 1950s prior to enactment of Rappahannock’s zoning laws —may be unable to get septic field or well permits from the Health Department if their proposed facilities don’t meet minimum separation distances from existing private water supplies and sewage disposal systems on neighboring parcels. “What exists there now' has priority,” said Mr. Shepherd in a telephone interview. Acting under authority conferred by the General Assembly in March 1987, the State Board of Health was scheduled in September of that same year to adopt regulations pertaining to private water supplies.

Jerry Ashby Compton, 24, of Route 1, Castleton, has been charged with one count of petty larceny of livestock and one felony count of maiming or killing of an animal in connection with the theft of a hog belonging to Dale Welch of Huntly. According to a complaint filed against Compton, Mr. Welch discovered one of his hogs was missing on Nov. 10. He reported the disappearance to the sheriffs department, and a neighbor found the dead animal covered with leaves along the side of Route 638 on Nov. 15. The complaint alleges that, after killing the hog, Compton and two juveniles took it to Guard Hill Meats in Middleburg, where the slaughterhouse refused to process the animal. The hog was then dumped along the road in an attempt to dis pose of it, the complaint alleges. $ The two juveniles have also befn charged in connection with the k|l ing of the hog. j According to Sheriff John Henfcy Woodward, the department’s instigation of a related spotlighting Incident also led to charges of gra^d larceny against the two juvenilw, who were allegedly riding all-terrsan vehicles reported stolen in Warrjfn County when they were arrested <fcr illegal hunting. They have also be|n charged with spotlighting. » The investigation of that incicktit also resulted in charges being fi&d against those two, as well as a th§-d juvenile, for criminal trespassing'^ a residence on Route 628 outsfcle Flint Hill. » £ Sheriff Woodward said thht Compton was relieved of his duties on Nov. 15 for “actions unbecoming to an employee of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department.” Compton was arrested and charged on Nov. 21 with the theft and killing of the hog. Final standards out for migrant workers Final regulations establishing mandatory reporting and employment requirements for employers of special agricultural workers (SAWs) have been issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration (ESA), Wage and Hour Division. The regulations were effective on Oct. 1. The regulations implement certain provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 relating to the legalization and employment of special agricultural workers (SAWs). They were developed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Bureau of the Census. The rules apply to employers of any workers who were (1) granted legal resident status under IRCA, and (2) who work after Oct. 1, 1988, in seasonal agricultural services | (SAS) planting, cultivating or hat- J vesting fruits, vegetables or other j perishable commodities. t Employers of such workers must • keep records (starting Oct. 1, 198?) • and report to the federal govern- ! ment on a quarterly basis (starting I in Jaunary 1989), the SAS crops j worked, the number of workdays-1 and other data for each such worker. This information will allow the gq\*”5 emment to determine any need admission to the United States of additional or “replenishment” agricultural workers (RAWs) starting In October 1989. jis) The necessary forms are avail - able at the local Extension apt)1-, ASCS offices.

For visitors from the “other” Washington, to the east, a trip to the country for Washington’s third annual Colonial Christmas, Dec. 3 and 4, can be a shopping expedition and family holiday combined. And for Rappahannock County residents, “the weekend of festivities offers a neat way for people to gather with their neighbors and usher in the holiday season,” said Nan Thomasson, one of the event’s organizers. Visitors can watch prominent professional craftsmen practicing their crafts, sample wassail and sweets and other free refreshments at open houses throughout the town, have pictures taken with Saint Nicholas, help decorate the town’s Christmas tree and follow a Colonial guide on a candlelit tour of the village. There’s a palpable sense of history appropriate to the first Washington of them all, a town laid out in 1749 by a 17-year-old surveyor named George Washington. His hand drew the municipal map, and the hand of another great American, Thomas Jefferson, influenced Washington’s architecture. The old Presbyterian Church, which houses the Rappahannock County Library, Trinity Episcopal Church at the town’s center, and the handsome red brick courthouse and its dependencies, which are now county offices and the county jail, were designed by James Leake Powers, who was an understudy of Jefferson’s and helped construct his Monticello. This rich historical tradition is heightened for the Colonial Christmas weekend. And with it comes a celebration of hospitality by Washington’s businesses and community organizations. Every hour beginning at noon, costumed guides portraying characters from the 1700s will lead groups through the streets, going by candle and lantern light as night falls, and talking as they go of history, art, architecture and gossip of the village. Spokespersons in colonial dress will also be available at the Rappahannock Historical Society’s open house, ready to discuss family genealogies and histories as well as the history of Washington itself. Washington’s Town Hall will be the scene of colonial merrymaking with costumed dancers performing the stately minuet and other traditional steps practiced in the 17th and 18th centuries. At Heritage House Bed-and-Breakfast Inn, British troubadors and balladeers will entertain during the evening hours with dulcimers, autoharp and guitars. Next door at Country Heritage Antiques and Crafts, noted Northern Virginia quilting teacher Harriet Holbig from Pumpkin Seed Quilts will demonstrate her craft. Gifted silver and gold smithy Christopher Goodine will show his skills at his little shop on Main Street where his “wave-length” creations will also be displayed. Mary Johnson will be demonstrating chair caning and rushing at Mostly Yesteryear Antiques and Collectibles, and on Sunday afternoon, Daphne Kamely of Occidental Orientals will discuss and answer questions about techniques and patterns in rugs handwoven in years past by nomadic Europeans. Patty Mullan will be at Mountainside Market to demonstrate the art of stained glass. This gourmet and natural foods shop on Gay St. will also be marking its first anniversary along with the Colonial Christmas celebration. On Saturday at Middle Street, Piemont Virginia’s only non-profit cooperative art gallery, Joel Hoyer will demonstrate gold gilding amidst the “Art for Gifts” created by the gallery’s artists: paintings, tiles, clothing, canvas bags, pillows, baskets, photos, prints, ornaments and functional wrought iron wares. At the Foster-Harris House, local artist Deborah Cass Hoffman will display her miniature oil paintings of the village and the surrounding countryside. Other shops open for the Colonial Christmas weekend include Rush River Company, an arts and crafts gallery; Kramer and Eiland Woodworking’s showroom of fine furniture; Ye Olde Times Shoppe, offering antiques, collectibles and vintage clothing; and Washington House, featuring lighting fixtures by nationally known lighting restoration specialist Charles Eldred. On Saturday afternoon, a special community gathering will begin with dancing and caroling at the Town Hall. Then, the venue will move next door to the courthouse lawn, where visitors are invited to contribute an ornament to the town’s Christmas tree. The tree trimming will be led by First Washington’s First Family (Mayor Dean Morehouse, his wife Linda and daughter Sarah) at 4 p.m. Afterwards, there will be a bonfire and impromptu caroling at the Gay Street Inn just a block away. With a population of 230, Washington isn’t much bigger today than it was when young George drew the streets he named after the families who originally owned the town land. So the Colonial Christmas weekend offers truly one-stop shopping: from Porter Street on the south end of town to Wheeler Street on the north is only four blocks. Other attractions take just a short drive. On its perch overlooking the town, Sycamore Hill House bedand-breakfast will hold a Saturday open house from 1-4. Also on Washington’s outskirts a half mile west on Route 211, the non-profit Child Care and Learning Center will hold its third annual Christmas Bazaar from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. Santa will be there, ready to listen to Christmas wishes and pose for pictures with little ones, and the kids can shop for family, friends, and relatives in the Children’s Shopping Room where all the gifts are $1. And parents can choose from among quality crafts by local artisans while the children watch the free afternoon puppet show. In keeping with the celebration, the Village Cafe in Washington will serve Colonial America’s favorite, Brunswick stew and Sally Lund bread for lunch, and for dinner, roast turkey or country ham with all the trimmings. The Comer Post Restaurant and the School House Restaurant in Flint Hill, six scenic miles distant over the winding Fodderstack Road, will also offer special colonial entrees in addition to their regular menus. Rappahannock orchardists bring their apple crop to market just in time for the Colonial Christmas weekend. Moore’s Orchard and Lee’s Orchard on the Fodderstack Road and Mountain Green Farm in Harris Hollow just above town have Staymans, Winesaps, and other apple varieties — crisp, juicy, and unwaxed — for stuffing stockings and baking Christmas pies. Apples and cider are also available at Foster’s Packing House in Flint Hill and at the roadside stands and gift shops in Sperryville. For those who relish a bracing walk in beautiful surroundings, Rappahannock County’s tree farmers have acres of fir, pine and spruce for the chopping. Trees always look smaller in the field than in the living room, so be sure to pack a tape measure writh the hatchet or pruning saw, and if the trunk of the car is too small to hold a tree, bring rope and a sheet to protect the tree from the drying effects of 55-plus mph winds on the drive home. Parking and admission to the Colonial Christmas weekend is free, and festivities begin at noon and continue into the evening both Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 3 and 4. For additional information, call Nan or Jim Thomasson, (703) 675-3738 or 675-3207. The Colonial Christmas is sponsored by the Washington Business Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting tourism and business in Washington and Rappahannock County and the perservation of Washington, Va. as a national historic treasure.

Sat Published by Arundel Newspapers Member Audit Bureau ot Circulation THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1. 1988 Editorials A sound decision The Planning Commission was correct last month when it recommended denial of a request for an off-site sign advertising a local restaurant. The question is not the specific request for a sign, but the principle of off-site advertising. Allowing the sign would be,' in the words of the commission, “an awful precedent.” We’re sure that the owners of the restaurant would, as Mrs. O’Brien told the planners, erect a small and tasteful sign which no one would find objectionable. The problem with granting her request would come later, when someone else asks for an off-site sign, one w hich is perhaps not quite as small or quite as “tasteful.” Now, wre would be the first to agree that “taste,” like beauty, is in the eye and mind of the beholder. However, we also feel that there is small room for argument that the highways of Rappahannock County are much better off without the clutter of billboards and other signs which spring like gigantic, man-made weeds along the roadsides of adjacent counties. And, we think that the natural vistas which are much of the attraction that brings visitors to our county would be diminished if they had to compete with advertisements for the “Golden Arches” and other businesses, local and otherwise. It’s true that billboards and roadside signs for businesses in Rappahannock do appear along the roads in other counties. They do so in keeping with the ordinances of those counties. But frankly, we’d prefer that those vistas were unblemished by roadside advertising as well. However, the Rappahannock County Planning Commission can only regulate our county. Last month, the planners made the right decision in denying that off-site sign request. In Mr. Massie’s w ords, “Who would want to drive to Rappahannock County if they couldn’t see the mountains for the signs?” We agree. In Mr. Lane's defense Last Friday, the Culpeper Star-Exponent lambasted Stonewall-Hawthome District Supervisor Nelson Lane for his frequent absences from the board’s meetings during the past several years. We agree that Mr. Lane’s absences have been frequent — perhaps too frequent. We can’t, and won’t, defend his record on that score. But we do object to that newspaper’s characterization of Mr. Lane as often unprepared and unaware of the issues facing the board. In fact, on several issues, most recently the landfill, Mr. Lane has consistently taken the lead in asking technical questions of the consultants retained by the county. In one meeting with geo-seismic experts, his questions indicated that his knowiedge of that field was far from perfunctory or shallow. We don’t know’ w’here the Star-Exponent received the “reports” of Mr. Lane’s lack of preparation alluded to in its editorial. We do know’ that first-hand observations by members of this newspaper’s staff over a period of years find Mr. Lane prepared for the board’s deliberations. On another point; that editorial pointed out that, during 1986, Mr. Lane was absent more frequently than two other supervisors who later died of “chronic” illnesses. One, Hampton District Supervisor Clarence Baldwin, did in fact die of a chronic illness. However, the other, Jackson District representative J. R. “Dick” Latham, died unexpectedly after a massive heart attack — not a chronic illness. We agree that Mr. Lane’s constituents would be more effectively represented if he were absent less frequently. We disagree, however, that they suffer from any lack of preparation on his part when he does attend the board’s meetings. Letters to the editor The Rappahannock Sews is your newspaper.

Letters to the editor Seeking seniors' support Thank you for publicizing my bid for next year's volunteer National Silver-Haired Congress (Rfipfjfiitun ixjck .Wi/ .s. Nov. 17). Although I am the only candidate from Planning District 9. there are eight other men and women from the Winchester and Charlottesville area who are also contending for the one seat which will represent the Seventh Congressional District. In this election, there is no formal machinery by which to vote. Each candidate must distribute the official ballot to his own constituents, and must so licit his own votes. This has already been done in the Senior Nutrition Sites in Washington. Ya. and in neighboring areas. If any other registered Rappahannock voters who are at least 60 years of age would like to show their support .for my candidacy. please call me (937-4721) and I will see that they get a ballot and instructions on where to send it. Thanks to all for your support. HOWARD W. HOLSCHUH Capt.. L'.S.N.

Lord Fairfax topic of talk By DORIS LONGLEY Rappahannock New* Contributing * nter The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, heard a talk by Mrs. Jack C. Pomplin on “Lord Fairfax: End of an Era, Prelude to the Revolution,” at its November meeting. Mrs. Pomplin, a member of the DAR’s Speaker’s Union, told the chapter of Thomas, Sixth Lord Fairfax, who inherited the vast Northern Neck portion of Virginia > rrom nis mother, Catherine Lady Fairfax, daughter of Thomas Lord Culpeper, in 1719. After acquiring the holding. Lord Fairfax leased and sold much of its five million acres to thousands of settlers. During the General Assembly of 1748 Lord Fairfax agreed to end his land-claim disputes with the Virginia Colony. When that session of the Assembly created Culpeper County, he agreed with its choice of his mother’s surname (Culpeper) for the newly-created county. In 1759, the Town of Fairfax (now Culpeper), took Lord Fairfax’s name. George Washington, who was distantly related to the Fairfax family, received his first appointment as Lord Fairfax’s surveyor. The young Washington’s travels included what is now Rappahannock County (at the time a part of the vast area which was then Culpeper County), where he surveyed the Town of Washington in 1749. Lord Thomas Fairfax, who was bom in U593. died in 1781. . Mrs. Pomplin was introduced by Mrs. D. C. Knuepfer. A moment of prayer was observed in memory of the manv Madison County members of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter who died during 1988.

There is a better than even chance that you’ll put the wrong selling price on your home if you try to arrive at it yourself. There are many reasons why you could price it far above its fair market value. You could put too much stock in the astronomical prices you ■ hear that neighbors are asking for their homes. (Funny how you never hear about how much they acturally sell for). You could overprice it from sentimental attachment, expenditures you have made, or by heeding a well-meaning friend’s advice. A home remaining on the market for months due to over-pricing, frequently becomes a “White Elephant.” It eventually sells for a much lower figure than it would have brought originally—had it been priced realistically On the other hand, you might under-price it because of unfamiliarity with the local market. This would be financial folly. Your safest bet is to list your home with our office. We will help you price it correctly from the start and sell it for the best profit. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone 675-3003. We’re here to help. Both hikes are in the Shenandoah National Park. Interested individuals in either hike should meet at 9 a.m. at the Parks and Recreation parking lot, 62 Culpeper, in Warrenton.

Hanukkah — rich Jewish tradition SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economies While some folks are busy planning what they will serve during the Christmas holidays, others are looking forward to Hanukkah, which will begin Saturday at sundown. Hanukkah is also called the Festival of Lights. It is one of the most joyous holidays in the rich Jewish tradition. This festive holiday begins in the evening when three stars can be seen in the heavens. Candles are placed in an eight-stemmed candelabra called menorah. The first night of Hanukkah begins by lighting the first candle using the light from the head candle called shamus. This is followed by a very elaborate dinner. Youngsters enjoy playing the Dreidel Game. A dreidel is a four-sided top used in a special Hanukkah game. Each side of the dreidel has a different Hebrew letter— nun, gimel, hay and shin. These indicate an action taken by the player, depending on which side faces up. Hanukkah is celebrated fob eight days. A different candle is lit each night. Gifts are exchanged. In some families, gifts are exhanged each night — in others, only bn the first night. Many years ago when the Romans occupied Judea (presently Israel), King Antiochus was on the throne. Not only was he cruel to the Jews, but he also placed demands on them which they refused to obey. This resulted in the temple’s being robbed and vandalized and many Jews being killed. Zealots took shelter in the hills of Judea, eventually defeating the Romans. The Jewish people were faced with the task of repairing the temple. To add to their problems, there was only oil enough for one night to keep the sacred eternal light in the temple burning. Then the miracle of Hanukkah took place. The oil in the lamp lasted not one night as feared, but eight nights. Arthur and Lois Neufeld of Washington were most hospitable and shared their families’ favorite recipes enjoyed at the Hanukkah celebration. Potato latkes 3 lbs. peeled potatoes, soaked in cold water 1 medium onion legg Oil or fat for frying 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt Pepper to taste 1) Grate potatoes and drain off water. 2) Grate onion into grated potatoes. 3) Add egg and mix well. 4) Add baking powder and salt. 5) Add pepper to taste and mix well. 6) Shape into small cakes. Note: If too loose to hold together, add 2 Tbsp. flour. 7) Pan fry in 1/4-inch oil until golden brown on each side, turning at least once. 8) Drain well. Mrs. Lorraine Robson, Arthur Neufeld’s mother, prefers Crisco fat rather than oil to use for flying. She also prefers to use brown bags to absorb the grease after flying rather than paper towels.

Arthur also noted, “Do not make cakes too thick or they will be golden on the outside and raw in the center.” 9) Serve with sugar, applesauce, or sour cream. Arthur commented that, in our area, some people might enjoy trying them with apple butter or perhaps peach preserves. Latkes can be made ahead and frozen. When ready to use, reheat in oven at 350 degrees F. until crispness returns. Do not use a microwave. Yield: 15-20 latkes. Lois shared her recipe for Brisket of Beef. Brisket of beef 3 to 3-1/2 lbs. brisket (first cut) Several onions Salt Pepper Paprika Garlic Jam (peach or cherry) Sliced mushrooms (fresh or canned) Several potatoes (optional) 1) Trim good portion of fat from brisket. 2) Slice onions and arrange on bottom of baking dish. 3) Generously salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic beef. Place under broiler, searing on both sides. 4) Spread jam over seared brisket to form glaze. 5) Slice mushrooms and place around beef in pan. As these cook, they become part of the gravy. 6) Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes. 7) Turn brisket over, cover, and bake another 45 minutes. 8) Turn brisket again, cover, and bake an additional 45 minutes or until tender. 9) Remove from oven and serve. Variation: If pan is large enough, arrange peeled and quartered potatoes around meat before cooking. Tzimmes (Grated carrots) 2 pkg. carrots, scraped and grated 1 c. crushed pineapple 1-2 c. water 1/2 stick butter (4 Tbsp.) 3-4 Tbsp. brown sugar 1) Scrape and grate carrots. 2) Add remaining ingredients. 3) Bring to slow boil. 4) Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour. Families’ tastes vary. Other fruits or combination of fruits may be used instead of pineapple or with the pineapple . Some - suggestions might be raisins or apples^. Sauerkraut and hot dog soup Large can sauerkraut 1/2 gallon chicken broth (preferably homemade) 6 all-beef hot dogs Boiled potatoes 1) Combine sauerkraut, chicken broth and hot dogs, cut into bite-size pieces. 2) Bring to slow boil. 3) Serve with boiled potato in center.

Call 675-3349 Rappahannock ilctos BZA Continued from page 1 comemrcial zone. “This is a different situation than wholesale rewriting” of zoning regulations, he said, pointing to the terms “generally" and “in most eases" included in the definition of multi-family housing as providing the leeway for the interpretation. “The point is.” Mr. Bird said, “the ordinance is . . .” “Ambiguous," interjected the county administrator. “Not only ambiguous but misleading in this case.” the chairman continued. “It would be more orderly to deal with it with an ordinance amendment (either to allow by special permit more than one dwelling unit on a lot or parcel in the village commercial zone or to redefine multi-family housing to include a single apartment unit in a separate structure)... It seems to me this is a planning omission.” Mr. Bird said, describing Mr. McCarthy’s construction as “belabored.” “All I’m asking is that the definition of multi-family housing be broadened in your minds to include an apartment in a separate building,” the county administrator responded. “This application comes before us a multi-family apartment, but it is actually (a proposal for) more than one dwelling unit on a lot or parcel. . . We don’t have the authority -although it is plainly intended we should - to approve that,” said Mr. Bird, repeating his call for denial of the application and a petition to the supervisors for an ordinance amendment. “It’s not spelled out in the ordi nance,” agreed BZA member James Swindler. “But I don’t think we can put everything in the ordinance. I think we have the authority to interpret. . . I look at it as a multi-family dwelling.” Mr. Zindel agreed there’s authority for the BZA to make interpretations, but only up to a point. ‘The ordinance is new. As things develop, this is how we refine it," he added, supporting Mr. Bird's position. “We can take as a given that more than one dwelling on a lot or parcel is allowed in the commercial village zone,” maintained Mr. McCarthy, saying this follows logically from the specific provision for up to 10 multi-family units per acre in the CV zoning category. “Then it should say so. The ordinance should say so," argued Mr. Bird. “We’d like to bend as far as we can to make it possible for Mr. Estes to use this structure (as an apartment for his mother), but before we can approve it, we need an amendment of some kind,” concurred Mr. Gottlieb. “If he wanted to build three apartments, we could approve or disapprove it. But since he wants to build one apartment, we can’t even consider it, and there’s the hole in this ordinance." And repeatedly, Mr. Gottlieb voiced unease at having to work within the confines of strict construction: “If Mr. Estes wanted to build three apartments, I think I would vote for approval. So what am I doning voting down one?” The county administrator added another interpretative wrinkle by contending that the definition of yard precludes the proposed apartment from being considered a single family detached residence, and since it is clearly not an attached struc ture, then it must fall under multi family housing. But with Chairman Bird describing the yard argument as a “red herring,” the majority continued tc insist that Mr. Estes's permit not be approved without a zoning amendment. “That’s the way the process is supposed to work. We find an ambiguity, and we refer it back to the body that writes the ordinance,” noted Mr. Zindel. “I am troubled by the precedent we'd set by relying on the Planning Commission saying ‘This is wbat we intended,' ” added Mr. Gottleib, saying the Board of Supervisors has the sole authority to set land use policy and WTite zoning regulations. “We should give the Planning Commission’s recommendation great weight, but we should not be bound by it," said Mr. Bird, holding that the BZA must interpret and apply the zoning ordinance on the basis of its own findings. “We’re responsible really to the court. We are a quasi judicial body. We are not responsible to the Planning Commission. We are not responsible to the Board of Supervisors." “The central point is that multifamily dwelling should be redefined to include one apartment . . . My sense would be to want to approve this but I can’t. I want to see the ordinance amended so that I can," said Mr. Gottleib. By a vote of 4-0 with Mr. Swindler abstaining, the BZA denied Mr. Estes’s application for a multi-family dwelling on the grounds that his proposal constitutes more than one dwelling on a lot and as such, is not allowed in the commercial village zone. In addition, the board suggested an ordinance amendment to allow- single unit apartments in the CV zone by special permit. Ban Continued from page 1 be opened to trucks). . .We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow." The timetable that ends the truck ban concurrent with the completion of the dual-laning to Marshall was decided “by agreement within the department," Mr. Farley said, adding that the ban cannot be formally lifted without action by the Commonwealth Transportation Board. The district engineer said a resolution calling for an end to the truck ban on Route 17 will be transmitted to the board “sometime in advance of the opening of roadway,” but that the final decision must await the board's vote. Should the ban be continued until the spur is completed — as proposed by the town of Warrenton — relief will be a long time coming for Rappahannock. According to resident engineer Bob Moore, if work begins tomorrow on the two-mile spur between Route 17 just north of Warrenton and the existing 15 29 east bypass, the project won’t be finished until 1993. And work isn't starting tomorrow. There’s “no doubt of the need" for this project, but questions on alignment remain unresolved so the spur has not yet received approval from the Transportation Board, Mr. Farley said. Design plans are now being revised in reaction to opposition from residents of a subdivision adjacent to the spur’s originally proposed path, he reported. “We're looking at four different alignments” and developing an environmental impact statement which will be presented at public hearings in February or March 1989, he said. The comments from those hearings will be taken into consideration, and addressed, and only then will the Warrenton spur project be forwarded to the Transportation Board for a decision, Mr. Farley added. No accidents on last two miles of Route 17 It was a series of accidents that persuaded the Transportation Board to grant Fauquier County’s request and close Route 17 to trucks in November 1984. And according to VDOT counts taken soon thereafter, the move diverted a portion of Route 17’s tractor-trailer traffic onto the winding and narrow stretch of Route 522 which connects interstates tk> and 81 near Front Royal with I'.S. Route 211 in Rappahannock County. Responding to citizen protests, and a rash of accidents involving tractor-trailers on routes 522 and 211 in their county, Rappahannock’s supervisors petitioned the Transportation Board for a similar closure of Route 522. When that was denied, the board asked that Route 17 be re opened to trucks as soon as improvements to the highway removed safety hazards in Fauquier. Don Askew, the former resident engineer for Rappahannock and Fauquier who is now with VDOT’s Fredericksburg District office, confirmed that “from an accident point of view,” the work on Route 17 is substantially complete. "Those sections where we had accidents have already been four-laned,” he said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. The remaining l'/.-mile stretch just outside of Marshall on which dual-laning began two weeks ago was rebuilt in the early 1970s and has good alignment, good shoulders and pavement 24 feet wide, according to Mr. Askew. To the contention that this last section of Route 17 is a less hazardous truck route than Route 522, Mr. Farley responded “yes and no.” Although agreeing that Route 522 has poorer sight distance and more access points, he maintained that “the potential for accidents is much greater" with a configuration going from dual-lane to two-lane, as would be the case if Route 17 is re-opened to trucks before the northern section is rebuilt as a divided highway. But he added that the same does not apply to the Warrenton spur, since traffic has a tendency to slow down as it approaches an urban area, regardless of the highway configuration.

Adults, particularly persons age 66 and older, also need to be immunized to be protected against serious infectious diseases, the Virginia Department of Aging said. The national Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report 60,000 deaths each year which are attributed to flu and pneumonia. Most of these deaths occur in people age 65 or older. The Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Public Health Service recommend that healthy older persons receive the flu vaccines to protect themselves against needless risks. Influenza, usually referred to as the “flu,” is a highly contagious disease that causes a variety of symptoms: fever, aches and pains, sore throat, runny nose and chills. When older persons get the flu, they are more likely to develop dangerous complications such as pneumonia, dehydration or weight loss. Pneumococcal disease is another flu-like illness which can result in dangerous infections of the lungs (pneumonia), the blood or the covering of the brain (meningitis). Older persons are twice as likely to suffer from pneumococcal disease. The CDC reports that 73 percent of the older persons in a recent study indicated that they were aware of the availability of flu vaccines but were fearful of side affects. The CDC assures older persons that these fears are largely unfounded and that today’s vaccines are much safer than the vaccines available a generation or two ago. The Virginia Department for the Aging encourages older Virginians to talk with their family physician about the flu vaccines. Older persons may receive flu shots from their family physician or their local health department. • - Older persons who wish to receive the flu vaccine from their local health department should call the health department to learn when the shots will be available and how much they will cost. Most health departments provide flu shots for a reduced fee. Information about flu shots is available from the Rappahannock County Health Department (675-3516). Education in the park C.M.

Ruling Continued from page 1 ing a directive from Richmond at any time since, but the new private well standards weren’t even placed on the agenda for the state board’s session this August, “and I don’t know if they’re going to be on the agenda for the December meeting,” Mr. Shepherd said. However, “everyone is awfully optimistic that they will be approved,” he added. The regulations as proposed require private class II wells to be a minimum of 100 feet from a septic drainfield while class I wells, which are built to more stringent standards, must maintain a minimum separation distance of 50 feet. The distance standard may prove •an insurmountable hurdle to the development of small, exceptionally narrow lots in Rappahannock Lakes now that the permit for the subdivision’s poorly maintained and inadequately supplied community water system has been revoked. For that reason, county administrator John McCarthy sought an answer last summer from the Health Department on what will happen when an application for a well permit or septic field permit is received and the proposed site fails the separation test. Will the permit be denied? Or if the problem arises because a proposed septic field is too close to an existing — but unpermitted well — will the well be condemned? It is the new applicant w’ho will lose, according to a ruling handed down in late October by Gary Hagy, enforcement chief at the Health Department’s Richmond headquarters. Based on a quick estimate made jointly by Mr. Shepherd and county sanitarian Jack Lockhart, as many as 15 lots in the Rappahannock Lakes subdivision may not be able to get well permits, but that risk will arise only after the Board of Health formally adopts the new standards. Until that point, the Health Department’s regulatory power is restricted to wells installed in conjunction with a septic field. In other words, if the septic permit has already been issued, a landowner may put in a private well at any distance from that septic field or a field on an adjoining lot with no oversight by the health agency. But even though the Health De partment has no authority yet over the siting of private wells, Mr. Shepherd is warning of potential problems, both with health hazards and financing, should safe separation distances be ignored. “If you drill a well in close proximity to a source of pollution, you risk contamination of the water supply and most probably create a situation that our office could not approve in the future,” he notes in a letter sent earlier this month to all property owners in the Rappahannock Lakes subdivision. “We’re offering our advice, help and assistance now,” the sanitation manager explained in a telephone interview. “We are encouraging landowners to adhere to those separation distances (before the new standards become law).” Landowners who ignore the safety standards “may be setting the stage for future problems,” Mr. Shepherd continued. Not only would they be risking potentially dangerous contamination of drinking water supplies: “We are called upon frequently to certify water and sanitation systems for mortage purposes,” the health official noted, adding this certification — and bank financing —will not be forthcoming if the separation distance between water supply and pollution source is not met. And who gets sued by the disgruntled landowner told he can’t get a septic permit and therefore can’t build on his lot because the only site for the field is too close to his neighbor’s well? Probably the Health Department, Mr. Shepherd conceded. The agency has “no way to make the offending party correct the situation that’s preventing the permit issuance,” he noted. And if the “injured” property owner brings a civil suit against the neighbor, then the neighbor would in all likelihood initiate legal action against the Health Department, either for the original issuance of the permit for the public water supply or for its recent revocation, he said. As to liability on the part of the county —which never had regulatory power over either the subdivision or its defunct public water system — Mr. Shepherd saw none. In the event a Rappahannock Lakes property owner seeks relief from denial of a well or septic permit, “the county is probably in the best position of all,” the sanitation manager concluded. Health booklet available A new, 8-page health information booklet which gives tips on better health and a higher quality of life has been published. The booklet, which orginally appeared as an advertising supplement in Reader’s Digest, is the second in a series for better health. “The first booklet was so popular that more than 20 million were distributed last April. I expect the new one, which is totally different, to be even more successful,” Pr. David L. Brooks, a local doctor of chiroprac tic, said. According to Dr. Brooks of 767 James Madison Road, Suite 101, Culpeper, Va. 22701, the booklet is available free by calling the office of Dr. Brooks at (703) 825-5491, or writing “Brooks Chiropractic Clinic,” or by stopping in. The booklet gives an overview of the revolution taking place in the health-care industry and shows how the various health professions are fostering more cooperation, which will benefit the patient. “It took us years to develop any equity in our home before we built a North American« Now of va., ltd.

A map showing the corridors has yet to be prepared. The much-anticipated proposal may thus be delayed until next week. “We’ve pretty much decided where the corridors for further study will be,” Mr. Hancock said. He said that proposed access will be marked on the map. VDOT sees the question of access as important. “That’s one of the issues we did discuss specifically,” Mr. Pethtel said. “In areas where there’s concern about development, one of the ways to mitigate it would be to limit access.” Fauquier County has adamantly opposed the bypass, as have the boards of Loudoun and Rappahannock counties. Stafford County reversed its earlier support and opposed the bypass a few weeks ago. The Rappahanock-Rapidan Planning District Commission also op poses the bypass. Mr. Pethtel said that the bypass would “serve a variety of purposes, % one of which is to relieve the [existing] beltway as much as possible.” According to PEC’s Dennis, preliminary studies show that a bypass will reduce traffic on the beltway by only three percent. Commissioner Pethtel said that there is also a “purpose on both sides, Maryland and Virginia, to relive congestion on local transportation networks. We have seen that segments of new roadway can have a dramatic effect. “There’s a lot of congestion in some places, and there are a lot of other places that are not served by a road at all,” Mr. Pethtel said. Both problems need correction, and the bypass could accomplish that goal, he believes. Some local opponents have said that Fauquier County should not solve the transportation problems in Northern Virginia. “I don’t think it’s just Northern Virginia’s problem,” Mr. Pethtel responded. “Transportation is an issue of vital importance state-wide.” Horticultural meeting and Va. peach conference set The 93rd Annual Meeting of the Virginia Horticultural Society and the 12th Annual Peach Conference will be held Jan. 15-18, 1989, at the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville.
