By the time it was apparent that there was going to be a problem, Dr. Gangel said, many teachers were in school and the buses had begun their routes, and there was no choice but to let the children go on to school. Once there, teachers took a quick - ; head count and school was dismissed for the day. The decision was made, he said, ■>based on consultations with National Weather Service meteorologists and VDOT •supervisor Doug Bywaters, who told him That the earlier the kids got home, the better chance they would have to avoid problems. And, Dr. Gangel said, all buses . 'returned without any trouble. The closing, as always, was announced on a number of radio stations around the area. For a : complete list of stations, see page 16. •. • ■ r- r* i' * Giveaway supports people * As part of their “Support the People" program, the Rappahannock Heads Up 4-H Club and the Rappahannock County Girl " Scouts will sponsor a Christmas party at the Washington fire hall on Saturday, Dec. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The club will have clothes, blankets, i .household goods and Christmas ; I decorations and toys sorted and ready to be given to needy residents.

Impact fees are a likely bet to get subcommittee's endorsement By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer This coming session of the General Assembly may be the year for impact fees, if the lawmakers’ receptivity to this proposed growth management tool can be judged by remarks from Del. C. Richard Cranwell, chairman of the General Assembly subcommittee studying off-site road improvements and public infrastructure. The cost of roads, schools, sewer extensions and other parts of the public infrastructure must be apportioned fairly, Del. Cranwell said, speaking at last Wednesday’s subcommittee hearing in Charlottesville. “That’s why I’ve started to look at impact fees with an open mind.” Such fees “provide certainty to the developer while ensuring that new residents pay their fair share,” he said. But the signals from the subcommittee chairman were mixed on whether the 1989 General Assembly should afford all local governments the authority to charge developers for a portion of the cost for the off-site facilities their projects demand or whether enabling legislation should be restricted to the “golden crescent” of Northern Virginia, Richmond and Tidewater. In addition, he seemed at times to be saying that the revenue from impact fees should be be spent only for transportation needs. At the outset of Wednesday’s public hearing, Del. Cranwell noted that the joint subcommittee is an outgrowth of the Governor’s Study on Transportation in the 21st Century and that it is addressing “what to do to assist governments with their transportation problems.” Traditionally, management strategies such as impact fees have been employed in high-growth areas, said Del. Cranwell, adding “We may be getting to the point in certain parts of Virginia where we have to allow impact fees.” Repeatedly, the subcommittee chairman said he thinks legislation is needed this year — at least for some financially-strapped counties whose transportation infrastructure has not kept pace with development. “I am concerned with the gridlock in Tidewater and Northern Virginia, and the growth which has created that. ” And to address those concerns, Del. Cranwell cited two options: raise taxes statewide and funnel the money in to break the gridlock “or let the growth occurring in that area make a substantial contribution to that transportation system.” Rural counties also need new growth management tools While the subcommittee chairman focused on Virginia’s booming urban areas, speaker after speaker maintained that rural counties with smaller tax bases and fewer revenue sources need impact fees as much — and maybe more —than the localities in the golden crescent. “Rural localities and small towns have a greater difficulty in meeting the rapidly expanding need for public facilities, especially highway improvements, new roads and new schools,” said Greg Brittingham, planning director for the Town of Culpeper. And like others, he not only asked for impact fees but also that conditional zoning be broadened to allow counties to accept monetary proffers, authority now permitted in six Virginia counties. Both the town of Culpeper and Culpeper County were recently offered cash contributions by developers to pay for roads and new schools, but under current enabling legislation, neither was able to accept, he told the subcommittee members. He acknowledged that the numbers of building permits in the county and town of Culpeper may seem negligible next to the numbers in Prince William, Loudoun, and Fauquier. “But it’s all relative. When it (the number of permit applications) doubles and triples, it severely strains the ability of local government to respond in a timely and cost efficient manner. . .We’re looking for hroader powers. We want the ability to take the handcuffs off when we’re dealing •: See FEES, p. 16 dumps riot leaking Well tests show no contamination By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Groundwater samples taken from 92 wells in the Amissville area, with particular concentration near two unlined and abandoned dumps, show no contamination by agricultural chemicals, the most toxic materials believed to have gone into the dumps. “A list of the most likely chemicals used by orchardists was compiled and used as a guideline in a separate phase of testing that covered 10 wells around one of the old dumps,” says the report compiled by Andrew W. McThenia, the graduate student from Washington & Lee Univerity assigned to the ground water study under a Virginia Student Environmental Health Project grant. “Results of the samplings do not reveal any contamination that can be attributed to the old dumps.” Mr. McThenia notes, however, that orchardists and extension agents could “only provide a spotty list of chemicals used in the last 20 years (since) farmers keep few records and the extension agent only keeps records for five years.” The agronomy lab at VP I was unable to analyze for some of the pesticides that may have been used in Rappahannock, and additionally a few water samples contained small traces of pesticides in the parts per billion range, Mr. McThenia reports. “Ideally, the water samples should contain no pesticides, but based on the sources available to us, these pesticide levels do not seem to pose a health threat. However, further testing on a periodic basis is recommended. ” Many of the wells sampled showed levels of iron and manganese above the secondary maximum contaminant level, but these levels are based on aesthetic considerations, not human health, Mr. McThenia notes. 'The only unpleasant effects associated with iron and manganese are staining and bitter taste. This was a common complaint and may be corrected by home treatment systems.” Tests also showed Amissville’s ground water to be acidic, a condition that is partly responsible for the high iron and manganese concentrations and which “probably contributes to the high lead content” of three samples, the W&L researcher notes. In addition, Mr. McThenia detected the very strong smell of gasoline in water from one testing site, and concludes that tanks from a gasoline station displaced by the widening of Route 211 in 1974 were either never removed or leaked prior to removal. He suggests that the exact location of the underground tank be determined and that soil borings be done to measure the extent of the contamination. Once this is accomplished, “a pump could be inserted in the middle of the zone to remove any gasoline floating on the ground water” so as to halt the contamination’s progress and shrink any contaminated zone. Mr. McThema s services were secured by the Concerned Citizens of Jackson District, a group organized to oppose the establishment of a countyowned and operated landfill on the 99-acre Stover tract near Amissville. As part of his study, he assessed the landfill’s If the state of Rappahannock’s correctional facility is any measure, then jailers make good housekeepers. “The jail is clean and well administered,” concluded Durwood Hill, the Department of Correction’s adult facilities manager for Northern Region — II, in the report filed after his Nov. 30 visit. And again in the space reserved for comments, Mr. Hill noted “jail clean and neat.” And the jail passed more than the whiteglove test. Under the category of administration and management, Rappahannock’s correctional facility earned a string of checks for (1) having a staff member on duty within the building 24 hours a day who can respond to prisoner needs, a trained officer on duty every shift, and one person per shift with an active CPR card; (2) making written policies and procedures available to personnel 24 hours per day; (3) permitting all new admissions at least two telephone calls; (4) doing medical screening on all new admissions; and (5) providing male and female inmates access to all programs and activities through separate scheduling or the utilization of combined programs under supervision. The report puts the jail’s rated capacity at eight prisoners and the jail’s staff at 10. Mr. Hill noted that the required written policies and procedures for emergency situation, mass arrest, fire plans and taking hostages need a 1988 review and that there is no documentation on the staffs having quarterly rehearsals of the jail’s emergency evacuation plan. But he found that deficiencies from the last certification have been corrected with the exception of the need to publish a commissary list for the use of the inmates. See STUDY, p. 16 given

Attempted murder charged James William Leake, 47, of Route 1, Sperryville, faces a charge of attempted murder after an altercation at the Parkway Gift Shop on Wednesday, Dec. 7. According to a complaint filed by Thomas W. Atkins, also of Route 1, Sperryville, Mr. Leake came to the Parkway Gift Shop, located on Route 211 west of Sperryville that morning, where Mr. Atkins was taking inventory with Mr. Leake’s estranged wife, Mildred. The warrant sworn against Mr. Leake alleges that when he got out of his car he confronted Mr. Atkins and Mrs. Leake, who were standing on the porch of the gift shop, and threatened to kill them. The warrant further alleges that Mr. Leake approached them with a gun drawn, cursing and threatening their lives. When he got within arm’s length, the statement continues, Mr. Atkins and Mrs. Leake managed to wrestle the gun from Mr. Leake’s hand and knocked him to the ground, where they held him until sheriffs deputies arrived. According to witnesses, Mr. Leake suffered head and rib injuries in the scuffle. Mr. Leake appeared Wednesday afternoon for a bond hearing before Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge A. Burke Hertz. He denied attorney James W. Fletcher Ill’s request that Mr. Leake be released on bond. Judge Hertz ordered that Mr. Leake be held without bond pending the results and review of a psychiatric examination. Subsequent charges were filed in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. However, the records of that court are not open to the public, and no information was available about them. At press time, there had been no further hearings in the case. Social Security help by phone “It is a good idea for people in the Culpeper area to call Social Security before taking the time to visit the office. The reason is that most Social Security business can be taken care of over the telephone,” said Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper. Unless the persons’ business is urgent, it is best to call after the middle of the month. Inquiries can be handled more quickly at this time, Mr. Hundley said. Examples of the business that can be handled by phone include: • Applying for Social Security benefits. A claim can be started over the telephone and completed by mail. • Applying for Medicare. • Changing name and address in Social Security records. • Reporting a change in marital status. • Reporting stopping or starting work or to report any event that can have an effect on benefits. • Reporting a lost or stolen check or delayed payment. • Arranging for direct deposit. • Getting an estimate of a benefit rate. • Requesting a statement of earnings. • Getting help in requesting a review of a claims decision. • To ask any question about So rial Security or to ask for a free publication. ».

Saved by the snow Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter *“ THE PAST WEEK’S SNOW has stemmed a rash of brush fires, like this one outside Flint Hill. Exceptionally dry weather has kept the county's fire departments busy, including two brush fires besides this one on Dec. 6. 10 percent drop is acreage target ' *The 1989 wheat program requires a 10 percent acreage reduction by farmers who participate, Liffda Henry, County Executive Director of the Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, said. “This means that program participants will be required to maintain an acreage conservation reserve area equal to 11.1 percent of their planted acres,” she said. The 1988 wheat program contained a 27.5 per cent reduction requirement. The lower acreage reduction requirement for the 1981* wheat program points to wheat's improved performance in both world and domestic markets. Farmers who participate in the program will be eligible for price support loans at $2.0<> per bushel. The program does not have paid land diversion or marketing loan provisions. Offsetting compliance will not apply. That is, eligibility for a pro Board to send 'wish list' “If we don’t let Richmond • know how we feel, we have no one to blame but ourselves,” said Supervisor Mike Massie, persuading his fellow board members to consider a legislative ^package which Rappahannock’s representatives will be asked to " support in the upcoming session of the General Assembly. “This is something we should have been working on this past year. I know it’s a little late, but better late than never.” Instead, the board should hold extra meetings beginning as gram payment or loan for a commodity on one farm will not be affected by actions taken with that commodity on another farm. However, limited cross compliance will be in effect for 1989 crop wheat, meaning that the acreage planted for harvest on a farm may not exceed the crop acreage bases to be eligible for program benefits. Program enrollment and other details will be announced later, Ms. Henry said. early as August, devoted solely to developing an agenda. “Hut for this year, we need a less ambitious approach.” Mr. McCarthy said, offering to put together a packet of supplemental information, “including the pet projects I support — and don't support,” for the board’s review at a work session set for 7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 15. RALLY prepares for recycling day Recycling in Rappahannock continues to roll, gaining momentum as each month passes. The Rappahannock Anti-Litter League and You (RALLY) plans its fourth Community Recycling Day at the county park on Route 211 on Saturday, Dec. 19, from 9-11 a.m. According to litter coordinator Nina Stamer, the first recycling effort on Sept. 16 reaped 500 pounds of newspapers, 300 pounds of glass and 20 pounds of aluminum cans. The second recycling day in October more than doubled most of the categories, and collected one ton of newspapers. Although Novembers date was marred by rain, it too was another chapter in the recycling effort’s success story, with nearly 100 households participating. Mrs. Nina Stamer hopes for a repeat of the first three successes on Saturday, Dec. 17. She reminds residents that the recycling truck will only be parked at the Rec Center for those two hours on Saturday, and that items should not be dropped off at the park either before or after Saturday morning. The truck, supplied by Piedmont Recycling, will leave promptly at 11 a.m. This month, the recycling center will accept newspapers, aluminum, glass and plastic. Two types of plastic may be recycled, Mrs. Stamer explained. One is containers made of HDPG; such as milk and juice jugs, oil, detergent and bleach bottles, six-pack rings and dish detergent bottles. - — The center will also accept PETtype plastic, like soda bottles. The colored plastic bases should be removed, however, and sorted with the HDPE plastic. Newspapers should be bundled in paper bags (no plastics, please!) or tied with a natural-fiber string or twine; again, no plastic or synthetic string, please. The recycling truck will no longer accept glossy magazines or catalogues, orffn ihd steel cans. Cardboard boxes will be taken, however they should be broken down to conserve space on the truck. Caps and lids should be removed from glass or plastic containers. Labels may be left on, but the containers should be rinsed; no halffilled jars, please! Plans continue for a permanent recycling center at the landfill, however that contract with Piedmont Recycling is still under negotiation, according to County Administrator John McCarthy. The agreement calls for Piedmont Recycling to provide the materials to construct a shed for recyclables, with the county to provide the labor to build it. Then, the company will receive all proceeds from the recycling until its costs for the shed are recovered, at which time the county and Piedmont Recycling will begin splitting the revenues. At this time, the exact terms of that contract are the sticking point, Mr. McCarthy said. Chuck Stinnett, president of Piedmont Recycling, is reviewing the contract now, he said. “I expect that it will be resolved and we will reach an agreement,” Mr. McCarthy said. “It’s just a question of when.” Long-range plans for the recycling center at the landfill include a 1,000-gallon tank for used motor oil and pallets for battery collection. Tires are presently being collected at the landfill, and are dis posed of by Piedmont Recycling at a charge to the county of $2 per tire. Nina Stamer, the county’s litter and recycling coordinator, explained that no companies in the area are willing to pay for tires. Since the county lacks the equipment to properly dispose of the tires — by shredding them — “if they’re buried they just pop back up to the surface.” The only options, Mrs. Stamer added, are to pile the tires up, which creates a fire hazard as well as an eyesore, or to pay to have them removed. ' Though the county is not presently making any money from recycling, and is even paying to have the tires removed, Mrs. Stamer emphasized that there is, in fact, benefit from the program. “We’re still making money, in a sense. With every piece of trash that doesn’t go into the landfill, it means the space will last a little longer and it will be that much more time before we have to spend money to build a new landfill.” This “cost avoidance factor” is too often ignored when the balance sheets for recycling are totaled, she said. Even after the recycling center is established at the landfill, Mrs. Stamer said she hopes to continue the monthly recycling day at the county park. And, she’d like to establish satellite recycling stations elsewhere. “We need to give those people who don’t go to the landfill in Amissville a chance to recycle, too. “Recycling is a way for all the people in Rappahannock to do their share in helping to solve the county’s trash problems. It’s a good way — maybe the only way — for individuals to help.” Recycle oil at local service stations Although there is yet no provision for recycling used oil anywhere in Rappahannock County (unless you can convince your friendly mechanic to take it), the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy’s Division of Energy announced that service stations in Culpeper and Front Royal are among 540 private businesses statewide, mostly retail service stations, which are collecting used oil from people who change their own oil. Once collected, the department’s spokesman said, the oil is recycled as an industrial fuel supplement or re-refined into lube stock. “Motorists can keep their used oil from causing environmental problems by taking it to a service station displaying the blue and white ‘Return Used Oil Here’ sign,” the spokesman said. Although there are no businesses in Rappahannock County yet participating in the program, there are three stations in Front Royal and two in Culpeper which will accept the used oil.

DECEMBER 15. 1988 Editorial A social responsibility This week, Dec. 11-17, is the sixth annual observance of “Virginia Drunk and Drugged Driving Awareness Week.” The theme this year is an apt one during the holiday season: “First a Friend, Then a Host.” The statistics are staggering: on an average Saturday night, one in 10 drivers on the road are legally impaired. And during the holidays, the temptation to drink and drive becomes even greater than during the rest of the year. There are more parties, and in the festive atmosphere it is easy to partake of one — or a few — too many. r or the host of a party, the pressure is also great. The guests are friends, and it’s not easy to tell a friend that they’ve had too much to drink — especially when the inebriated guest insists that “I’m fine,” or “I can drive better drunk than sober.” But there’s another slogan from the battle against drunk driving that tells the story better than any other: “Drunk driving can kill a friendship.” Although it’s difficult to stick your neck out and tell someone that they’ve had too much to drive, think of the alternative. If they drive, you may have to live with their death — or the death or serious injury of another innocent person — knowing that you could have prevented the accident. . The suggestions are simple, and sensible: • As the host, never insist that guests drink more than they wish. • Serve non-alcoholic drinks as well — perhaps something fancy, and make sure are plenty of mixers for those who want to drink the mixers without the alcohol. • Serve food along with the alcohol. Be sure that there is plenty, and that it’s there early in the party. Alcohol consumed on a full stomach is absorbed more slowly than when the stomach is empty. • Close the bar well before the end of the party, and offer your guests non-alcoholic refreshments after that. Have some hot coffee to revive drowsy guests, but remember coffee will wake up — but not sober up — a drunk. Only time will do that. • Have a bartender who is alert to those who may be drinking too much, one who knows how to say “No” or who will tell you, as the host, that someone needs attention. • Be ready for the guest who’s had too much. Offer to call a cab. Tell them they’re welcome to stay a few hours to sober up (maybe you’ve got a movie they would like to watch). Have a spare bedroom ready in case someone needs to stay. Drive them home yourself. Or, make a prior arrangement with one of the guests who is not drinking to offer a ride to someone who’s had too much. Perhaps they could use your car — which sits ready with a full tank of gas. As a guest, there are a few hints too: • Designate a non-drinking driver. This is the simplest way to avoid drinking and driving. If a group attends a number of holiday parties, the responsibility may be rotated among the members. • If you see someone who’s had enough, tell your host. They may be so busy with other chores that they haven’t noticed — particularly if that person is getting ready to leave. • If you’ve had too much to drink, admit it. Call a cab, or ask your host to call one for you. Ask if you can stay for a few hours. It may sound like an imposition, but it’s actually more “adult” and responsible to realize you need help than to deny it. Last but not least, the Virginia State Police and the Virginia Alcohol Safety Awareness Program (VASAP) remind drivers that, on average, consuming more than two drinks per hour will boost your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the . 10 level at which it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle in Virginia. And, whether your drink of choice is one beer, a fiveounce glass of wine or one ounce of hard liquor, the concentration of alcohol is the same. Once the alcohol is in your system, it will take the same amount of time to get out: one hour for every two drinks. And the State Police offer one more reminder. Although . 10 is the legal limit at which a motorist is presumed to be Driving While Intoxicated (DUI), impairment often begins at lower B ACs. The actual level depends on each individual’s weight, health, tolerance for alcohol and other factors — even how tired they are. If a motorist registers a BAC of between .05 and .10, they can still be convicted of DUI if the officer testifies in court that the driver exhibited signs of impairment. * Commentary Rappahannock News phoUVCindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage FRIDAY’S WET, HEAVY SNOW left trees and bushes laden and drooping under its weight. Letters to the editor Budget cuts threaten hospital To the editor: If you believe all Americans deserve access to quality health care, no matter what their age or economic status, please take note: The Office of Management and Budget has proposed new cuts of $7 billion to the Medicare (medical insurance for elderly and disabled) and Medicaid (medical insurance for the poor) programs. The dollars Congress are considering cutting to reduce the federal deficit are dollars that you have paid to the government to guarantee that you will have access to medical coverage after age 65 or if you become disabled. The availability of health care is something most of us take for granted in America. However, if cuts to Medicare and Medicaid programs continue, the future could bring major changes Medicare, which makes up approximately nine percent of the federal budget, suffered 36 percent of the cuts in the 1988 budget. These cuts may have not yet been felt directly by the Medicare patients. Instead it is the hospitals that have felt “the knife.” Medicare represents 37 percent of the net revenue in Virginia hospitals. In 1986, 34 percent of Virginia hospitals lost money caring for Medicare patients. By 1990, it is projected that this number will climb to almost 70 percent of Virginia hospitals. Could you stay in business long if your largest customer paid less than what your product/service costs you to provide? Medicaid is another program draining dollars from your hospital. On the average, hospitals in Virginia are paid only 73 cents for every dollar it costs them to care for a Medicaid patient. In 1987, this Medicaid cost shortfall was approximately $26 million and is expected to double by 1990. Add another $222 million of free care provided to patients who are covered by no type of medical insurance and you are looking at losses that slide hospitals into a troubling, financial sinkhole that is growing larger every day. How will these hospital financial problems affect you? A financially healthy hospital is needed so dollars are available to update their equipment and facility, increase the salaries of their workers, offer new services and, at minimum, keep up with inflation. As the dollar base for hospitals shrinks, the ultimate effect will be one that threatens the very purpose of hospitals’ existence: The provision of quality health care for all Virginians. What would your community be like without a hospital close by? When you consider the impact your hospital has on your community as a major employer, a good neighbor, a key ingredient to the quality of life of the residents, you realize everyone has a stake in the issue of the financial health of their hospital.

Kudos for planners To the editor: A well deserved “Hooray” and ‘‘Thanks” to the Rappahannock County Planning Commission for its forward-thinking decision to deny the School House restaurant its request for an off-site sign (Rappahannock News, Nov. 24). To approve the request on de sign alone is like opening Pandora’s box. And who could say that any sign could compete against Nature’s work and win? Let the School House attract customers the tried and true, old-fashioned way — good food and word of mouth. MARY LANMAN Slate Mills Thanks to Sheriff's Dept. To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to send my most appreciative thanks to the staff of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department for their kindness and the help they gave me during my time of overwhelming need and crisis. I’d like to thank Sheriff John Henry Woodward, matrons Terry Langlais, Connie Huff, Sheila Scott, Carol Wilson and Connie Compton; as well as the other members of the department who gave me the assistance and direction that I needed during one of the most traumatic times of my life. I’m most grateful to the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department, and I was very' impressed to know that Rappahannock County has such an outstanding department. Their willingness to be of assistance when the need arises is overwhelmingly welcome to us ail. NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST Editor’s note: Because of the nature of the situation which this letter addresses, the Rappahannock News is making an exception to its usual pdlicii against printing unsigned'.letters. Pullen a wise choice To the editor: I’d like to address this letter to the members of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors. It has recently been brought to my attention that Ray Pullen has been made County Animal Warden. I commend you on your wise choice as Ray is a very conscientious, car ing individual. Over the last; few weeks he has collected 21 dogs; and found homes for 20 of them — thus saving the lives of 20 animals. ■ Congratulations, Mr. Supervisors — and “Hurrah” for Ray! i EVELYN MILLER WILjLlS Washington Thanks for support To the editor: Last Thursday night the seventh-grade spaghetti dinner was held.

Op - Ed .Cull beef herd to minimize losses r> BY IKE ELLER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Almost invariably beef cow/ealf producers obtain more total dollars and a greater profit from calves that • are sold at feedlot ready weights. Many of our spring calves that will be weaned in November will be V lightweight and should be retained **’ from a period of time after w eaning, «. and backgrounded to get additional v weight on these calves before they are sold. Before you market lightweight -calves in late fall, sit down and put k the pencil to it. Calculate feed costs, - calculate gains expected and background calves to sell in December, January, or even March or April. Some of our feeder cattle sales associations are instituting late fall -and winter sales to accommodate such calves. If you are fortunate enough to have sufficient volume to ...sell a load lot and if the cattle are uniform enough, you should consider r selling them via tel-o-auetion through the Virginia Cattlemen’s Association. We have a great oppor' tunity in Virginia to add weight to our lighter-weight calves before selling them to out-of state feeders. We have a year-round strong market for Virginia feeder cattle. Even though feed costs are higher, " there should be profit potential in ..backgrounding and wintering light calves. Consider implants If you are wintering calves for very little gain, then implants and/or ionophores may not be a paying proposition. On the other hand, if you are putting 1-1/4 lb. per day or -•* more on calves, both implants and ionophores will certainly pay. Choose the implant that suits your program. Ralgro, Synovex-S, or Synovex-H, Steeroid or Heiferoid or Compudose are the choices. Use Rumensin or Bovatec in the ionophore department. Plan to get 150 to 250 miligrams of the ionophore in each animal per day to improve feed efficiency and rate of gain. On replacement heifers you should not use implants, but ionophores are recommended for replacement heifers. Broiler litter cuts costs One of our most under-utilized beef cattle feed resources is broiler litter and this year because of high feed costs in terms of grain and protein supplement, broiler litter looks better than normal. It looks like broiler litter can be transported up to 150 miles from the source and still be very competitive. Many producers mix deep stacked broiler litter with com silage as it goes into the silo, mixing it about 1,000 lbs. of silage and 400 lbs. broiler litter on a ton basis. Other producers prefer to mix similar amounts of broiler litter with the silage when it comes out of the silo just before feeding. For wintering calves to put on significant gain, broiler litter and shelled corn can be mixed 50:50 utilizing some five lbs. of hay per head per day in addition. For cows, 80 percent broiler litter and 20 percent shelled com can be mixed to make up the basic ration, again feeding three to 10 lbs. of hay per day. Turkey litter may be used, particularly for older animals, but it is generally inferior to broiler litter. Remember that broiler litter is from a feeding value standpoint about equal to alfalfa hay and is well forti fied with minerals. Magnesium supplementation With the lush pasture that we have seen in many areas of the state after good rains this fall, the danger of grass tetany, particularly for cows that have calved is a real concern. Be sure tljat such cows are given magnesium supplementation in blocks, mineral mixes or in the feed. Plan winter lice control New Year’s Day seems a long way off but mark it on your calender and plan to put your mid-winter lice control on cows and feeder cattle about that time. If they have been treated with a grubicide pour-on, spot-on, or with Ivomec, they can be treated with any similar material in mid-winter. If not, use Lysoff or Dursban 44. Follow label directions. Lice are very costly parasites and with current values of cattle we can’t afford to let them rob us of pounds and profit. Control them.

There is some debate relative to whether cows should be dewormed but many producers consider it a paying prop* osition. Certainly young cows and replacement heifers and stocker steers and heifers should be dewormed. Pick the deworming material that suits you best, remembering that the main worm you need to control is the brown stomach worm. If you want to be sure that you get the inhibited or sleeping brown stomach worm that may emerge in mid- to late winter if not controlled, use Ivomec or a double dose of Safeguard or Panacur. Start winter feeding Cattle producers are often tempted as fall pasture declines and winter approaches to leave cattle on pastures with no supplementary feed too long. Often cattle in this situation lose condition rapidly and get behind before winter starts. Be sure you start your hay feeding program on cows and other cattle before the pasture really runs out. Cattle of varying age groups and stages of production should be separated and fed separately so that they can get the nutrition they need. The biggest problem we have with getting wet, first-calf heifers bred back is that we too often run them with the mature cow herd and they don’t get the groceries they need. Be sure you know what cattle in each age .and production group need in the way of nutrition and be sure they get it.

Baking cakes for Christmas BY SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent. Home Economics Christmas is a time of festivity and much celebration. Sometimes we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season and forget the real reason we celebrate Christmas: the birth of Jesus in a lowly stable in Bethlehem many long years ago. I thought it only fitting to use the “Scripture Cake." including the Biblical references, as one of the holiday cake recipes for this article. Scripture cake 1 c. butter or margarine, softened 2 c. sugar 1 Tbsp. honey 6 eggs 3-1/2 c. all-purpose flour, divided 2 tsp. baking powder 1 2 tsp. salt 1 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 4 tsp. ground cloves 1 * tsp. ground ginger 1 c. water 2 c. raisins 2 c. tigs, chopped 1 c. chopped almonds Cream butter in a large mixing bowl: gradually add sugar, beating well. Add honey: beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well af ter each addition. Combine 3 cups flour, bakim powder, • salt, and spices; add b creamed mixture alternately wit! water, beginning and ending wit! flour mixture. Beat well after eacl addition. Dredge raisins, figs and almond.' in remaining 12 cup flour, coating well. Gently stir into batter. Spoon batter into a greased am floured 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 32o degrees for 1 hour and 30 min utes or until wooden pick inserted ir center comes out clean. Cool in par 10 minutes; remove cake to wire rack, and cool completely.

Jeremiah ti.lt) To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country?

Isaiah 10:11, And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peo pie: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth. / Kings i :22 And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal.

Grease and flour a loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches. Mix dry ingredients in large mixer bowl; blend in rum flavoring, shortening, milk and egg yolks. Beat 3 minutes, medium speed on mixer or 450 vigorous strokes by hand. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 65 to 70 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan; turn onto rack to cool completely. Trim off edges and top of cake to make a rounded log shape; save trimmings. Cut cake into 4 lengthwise layers. Reassemble log with French Silk Frosting between the layers. With some of the trimmings, make a “branch”, 3 inches long and 1 inch in diameter; place on top of log with some of the frosting. Frost ends of the log and the “branch” with the Mocha Icing; with a fork make markings on the ends of the log. Spread the remaining French Silk Frosting on the top and sides of the log, rounding it as spread. With a fork make markings lengthwise through frosting to resemble bark. Garnish with pistachio nuts, green icing or gumdrop leaves to resemble a vine on the log, if desired. French Silk Frosting: In mixer bowl beat 4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar, 1 cup soft butter, 1 egg, 3 sq. unsweetened chocolate (3 oz.), melted and cooled, and 1 tsp. vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Mocha Icing: Stir together 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar and 1 tsp. powdered instant coffee which has been dissolved in 1 tbsp. hot water. Add a few drops more water, if necessary, to make spreading consistency. The “Christmas Wreath Cake” is not only very easy to prepare, but also is appropriate as a centerpiece for your dinner table.

Cover with “Christmas Green” frosting, made by tinting with Durkee Green Food Color and a few drops of Blue. Tint 1-1/3 cups (3-1/2 oz.) Durkee flaked coconut a darker shade of “Christmas Green.” 5. Cover cake with the coconut. Add candied cherries for berries and a large red bow. “Williamsburg Inn Date Nut Pound Cake” is a specialty of the lovely Williamsburg Inn in Williamsburg. If one chooses to omit the nuts and dates, it is a very good plain pound cake. Williamsburg Inn Date Nut Pound Cake 1 c. sugar 1 c. butter 5 eggs 1 tsp. orange flavoring 1 tsp. lemon flavoring 1/3 c. chopped dates 1/8 tsp. baking powder 2 c. sifted all-purpose flour, reserving 2 Tbsp. to dredge dates 1/3 c. chopped pecans or walnuts Have all ingredients at room temperature.

National Wildlife magazine reports that during these battles the two combatants often reach a combined speed of 45 miles per hour as they charge headlong toward each other. Often, their horns meet with a resounding “('rack!” that can be heard more than a mile away.

Panthers roll in home opener, 66-41 Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter SLAMMING HOME TWO of his 18 points against Clarke County last Thursday, Eric Dunn goes to the basket on a fast break. Watching is Julian Groves (20). Dunn also scored 32 points in the season’s first game against Shenandoah Academy on Dec. 6. RCHS sports schedule The winter sports season is underway, with the boys’ basketball team playing at Rappahannock County High School. In January, the girls’ volleyball team and the eighthgrade boys’ basketball teams will begin their seasons. Games scheduled for the coming weeks are as follows: Boys’ basketball Thursday, Dec. 15: Central at RCHS. This date has been scheduled due to conflicts because of high school football post-season play. Friday, Dec. 16: No game. Page County at Page will be rescheduled to Feb. 15. Junior Varsity games begin at 6 p.m., with Varsity contests following immediately afterward. Coach: Gary Leake JV Coach: Dee Van Horn Girls’ volleyball Thursday, Jan. 5: Central at RCHS. Regular season-opener at home Monday. Jan. 9: Strasburg at RCHS. All games begin at 7 p.m. unless otherwise specified. Annual bird count Dec. 18 The annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count, sponsored by Shenandoah National Park and the Shenandoah Natural History Association, will be held in the Luray area for the 20th consecutive year on Sunday, Dec. 18. Count compiler, Park Naturalist Terry Lindsay, reports that the count will again be centered on Hershberger Hill near Stanley and cover an area of roughly 177 square miles within Page County. Since the count began in 1969, more than 120 species of birds have been recorded, with 87 species seen in 1987. The count area contains a variety of habitats, ranging from the Shenandoah River to Hawksbill Peak elevation (4,050 feet) in the Park. The area is divided into 11 sections and for each section an experienced watcher is designated as coordinator. Apart from its attraction as a social and sporting event, the annual Christmas Bird Count reveals interesting and scientifically useful information on the early-winter distribution patterns of various species of our winter resident birds — where they are and in what numbers. A pre-count orientation meeting will be held at Shenandoah National Park Headquarters at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 14. Park Naturalist Lindsay will show slides of birds expected to be seen on the count and will even have live birds of prey to show participants close up, to help make identification easier. During this meeting, new birders will be assigned to sections with more experienced birders. Anyone interested in helping with the Bird Count either by assisting with' a section or just keeping track of birds within the count area at their backyard feeders, are invited to attend. 8th-grade basketball Tuesday, Jan. 3: Strasburg at RCH. Season opener at home Friday, Jan. 6: Page County at Page. Bus leaves RCHS at 2:55 p.m. AH games begin at 4 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Coach: Ron Vickers For more information about athletic events at Rappahannock County High School, call the school office at 987-8575. By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Obviously buoyed by the enthusiasm of a near-capacity crowd at their first game in the new Rappahannock gym, the Panthers easily defeated the Clarke County Eagles in their home opener on Dec. 8. In a game where they never relinquished the lead, 11 Rappahannock players contributed to the offense. Point man Eric Dunn led the attack with 18 points, including several which he slammed home off the fast break. Anthony Porter paced both the offense and defensive numbers for the Panthers, racking up 15 points and a like number of rebounds. “He’s developing into a major contributor,” Coach Leake said of the 6-foot3-inch, 202-pound forward. Doug Smith also kept up the pressure on the Eagles, pulling down 14 rebounds as he hit six of seven field goal attempts for 12 offensive points. Coach Gary Leake conceded that Clarke had little trouble breaking Rappahannock’s game plan, a fullcourt press after the basket, but when the Panthers dropped back to their “Plan B,” a half-court trap, the Eagles were snared. The Rappahannock defense held All-District star Cary Bartlett to eight points. The Eagle standout opened the game with two threepoint shots, but after Coach Leake switched his coverage from Julian Groves to Dunn, Bartlett was held to just two additional points during the balance of the contest. The change was key, Coach Leake said. “If you allow him open, he’ll score. He’s good all the time, and when he’s open, he’s great.” That defensive swap, and the change in overall game plan, won the game for the Panthers, he said. Despite Rappahannock’s overpowering offense, Coach Leake said he was more satisfied with the team’s defensive performance than the offense. From the floor, the Panthers hit 46 percent of their shots, but easily out rebounded the Eagles by a 32-23 margin. “We still need to learn to play 32 minutes of basketball. We’re still taking a break — that’s been characteristic of Rappahannock teams. Last year we were playing about 25 minutes, this year it’s about 28 minutes. We need to play 32 minutes of basketball. “It will hurt us,” the coach continued, “when we play a good team and lose by five.” That break will be the margin of victory, he said. After Bartlett’s early points, Rappahannock held down the Eagle offense and led 20-13 at the end of the first period. Doug Smith consistently came up with rebounds for the Panthers, feeding the ball downcourt to the basket. In the second period, Rappahannock held the Eagles to only four points while adding another dozen of their own, and ended the half with a lead of 32-17. How'ever, the Panthers were hobbled by the “break” Coach Leake described, playing flat ball for much of the quarter. In the third quarter Coach Leake led a fired-up Rappahannock team out of the locker room, and the Panthers opened the quarter with 10 quick points. The Eagles could muster only two answering points of their own during that run, and Porter kept the pressure on Clarke under the boards with three rebounds Vine-' • 'Etknix yoojfa TSrcacCs TOAST THE Holidays ^ Join us for Holiday Cheer • Sample our OLIDAY SAVINGS Throughout our store!

By the quarter’s end Rappahannock had opened a 25 point lead, 55-30. In the fourth quarter. Coach Leake turned loose his reserves and the Panthers maintained their lead. Led by Philip Daczewitz, who contributed five points in the final period, Rappahannock kept the margin and finished the contest with a comfortable lead, 66-41. “We’ve got a strong defense, even off the bench. We won’t lose points,” Coach Leake said. But the Panther offense must set the tempo of the game, “make the other team play us.” In a close junior varsity contest, the Eagles surged ahead in the fourth period to defeat the Panthers, 44-42. The win boosted Rappahannock’s season record to 2-0, while the Eagles slipped to 0-2. Coach Leake, however, predicted that Clarke County would prove to be a strong team in the second half of the season. “If their inside game were stronger, they would be a contender. They hit the boards hard — they are one player away from being a contender.” In their non-district season opener on Dec. 6 the Panthers defeated Shenandoah Valley Academy 67-60 in New Market. That game was highlighted by Dunn’s offensive play as the six-foot - 2-inch senior scored 32 points. Julian Groves racked up another 12 points with 12 assists to his credit in the victory. The Panther JV lost to the Stars, 77-70, despite outstanding individual performances by Paul Hitt with 18 points and Dearl Cloud with another 13. The Panthers' game at home Tuesday against Miller School was cancelled because of the snow. Plans for rescheduling have not been announced. Several other schedule changes have been necessary because of post-season football playoffs. The Friday, Dec. 16 road game against Page County will be played on Feb. 15. A game scheduled for Jan. 17 against Central will be played, instead, on Thursday, Dec. 15 at RCHS. The Jan. 17 date will be open for makeups if necessary. Phone line charge is up In December, C&P Telephone customers will begin receiving phone bills which reflect a 60-cent increase in the federal subscriber line charge.

Beside your grave we sometimes stand and try so hard to understand. The tears in our eyes we wipe away but the pain in our hearts is here to stay. We would give so much to hear your voice, to hear you say hello and to see your glow And when we are sad and lonely and everything goes ” wrong we seem to hear you whisper cheer up and carry on. Each time we see your picture you seem to smile and say don't cry I'm only sleeping You left us a beautiful memory and sorrow too great to be told.

Fees Continued from page 1 with developers.” the planning director said. John Dooley, member of the Bedford County Board of Supervisors, said his county’s imputation is projected to increase 100 percent by the year 2000 as Bedford goes from rural community to bedroom and retirement community. "Impact fees is just one of the tools we need," he said, adding that conditional zoning, proffers and regional cooperation are also necessary components of any growth-management strategy. 'The most exj>ensive costs are those that are off the development site," said Margaret Maizell, chairman of the Clarke County Planning Commission. "Raising taxes on farmland and open space is not the. answer to paying for development. That would be killing the goose that lays the golden egg,” she said, noting that in Clarke, farmland and open space demand only 11 cents worth of services for every dollar paid in taxes, leaving the remaining St) cents as an “outright gift” to the county’s general fund. She espoused a "fiscally conservative pay-as-you-go with fees” approach to funding the new roads, schools and playgrounds required by new development. And with statewide enabling legislation for impact fees and enhanced conditional zoning sought by Clarke and other rural counties, “we re not talking about no growth: we’re talking about growth management," Ms. Maizell said. Greene County sent four local officials to “convey a sense of urgency" to the subcommittee, noted Stan Powell, vice chairman of that county's Hoard of Supervisors. "We can afford incremental growth — that which comes naturally. But twithout impact fees and proffers) we can't pay for expansive ■growth" from the influx of people who are looking for less costly housing than is available in neighboring Albemarle, he said, adding that Greene's debt service for new schools alone will double and double again in the next decade. Jean Blakely, Greene County Planning Commissioner and mayor of the Town of Stanardsville, reported that her county is experiencing a 14 percent growth rate. With new development primarily low- and middle-income residential, there has come very little industrial or commercial growth to broaden the tax base; therefore, the costs of new public facilities will have to be met by higher property taxes, and the burden of those higher taxes will be heaviest on current residents, she said. “ We’d like to maintain our ru ral status as much as possible. . .Impact fees will not be a panacea, but an added tool to meet the demands of growth in an equitable manner,” Ms. Blakely said. Del. Cranwell gave an indication that he was sensitive to the plight of rural counties by singling out the remarks of Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy as best explaining why improved growth management tools are critical. “We have no margin for error,” said Mr. McCarthy, reporting that the Blue Ridge Mountain county’s population of about 6.300 is going up by two or three percent annually while schools are near capacity, despite an expansion project at the high school finished just last year. But the growth that Rappahannock can’t deal with will come as a result of decisions made beyond the county line, he said, pointing to job centers planned for the Gainesville area of Prince William, an easy 45minute commute away; and the proposed Washington Bypass which could put a new six-lane highway less than a half-hour’s drive distant. Just one major subdivision will mean the county has to build a new school, Mr. McCarthy said. And when property taxes go from 69 cents to whatever is necessary to pay for the school, he’ll tell the local people whose land was taken by Shenandoah National Park and whose children and now' grandchildren go to Rappahannock County High School, “Pm sorry; it happened because we had all these new homes here.” Taxing those longtime residents off their land is not the responsible approach to financing the public infrastructure demanded by new development, Rappahannock’s county administrator contended. “The responsible position is to have whoever is producing the product pay the cost that the product is imposing on the community.” As to the technical difficulties faced by rural counties in designing a system for assessing impact fees, “give me the tools, and I’ll get you the expertise,” Mr. McCarthy concluded. Not either/or Edward Finagan, the attorney for Loudoun County, maintained that his jurisdiction needs impact fees and the conditional zoning powers it already has. “We prefer both. It's not an either/or situation,” he said, adding that with just the authority to levy impact fees, Loudoun would be unable to address needs for low-cost housing, housing for the elderly and the protection of historical areas now being handled through the proffer system of conditional zoning. “Is proffer synonymous with bribery?” asked Del. Robert Tata. Call 675-3338 to subscribe “It took us years to develop any equity in our home before we built a North American. Now _ _ .

Enabling legislation for enhanced conditional zoning statewide could stipulate there must be a connection between the development and the condition, he explained, noting that Loudoun County follows this guideline now in its negotiations with developers over the provision of facilities such as roads and schools. He added, however, that developers often use the proffer system to gain public support by offering to pay for new facilities in, say, a neighboring subdivision. “They want to do that,” and so the proffer becomes a gift that transcends the necessity for government to show a connection between demand from new development and need for expanded infrastructure, Mr. Finagan maintained. “I don’t see why you would oppose amendments to the proffer system to allow local governments to ask only for reasonable conditions related to the zoning that’s being sought,” Del. Cran well countered. “We’d have no problem with that,” Mr. Finagan responded, “because that’s what we think the law says now.” Support from environmentalists and professional planners Robert Dennis, president of the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council, likened the effects of growth on environment and infrastructure in the counties of the northern Blue Ridge to “what was unleashed upon the island of Oahu 47 years ago today.” PEC’s board of directors contends that if property must remain the major revenue source, then a tax should be levied upon conversion to a more intensive — and service-hungry — use, Mr. Dennis said. The directors also support statewide allowance of impact fees and the acceptance of proffers through conditional zoning, and called for additional revenue not just for roads but also for the preservation of open space and the protection of air and water quality. Speaking for the Virginia Chapter of the American Planners Association, Wayne Cilimburg supported conditional zoning and impact fees statewide to “explicitly enable local governments to require that adequate public facilities be available.” On the other side, representatives from the building industry maintained that impact fees will add to the cost of housing and price lowand moderate-income families, and particularly first-time home buyers and retirees on fixed incomes, out of the market. And if impact fees are permitted, then conditional zoning and proffers should be abolished, some said. “Retirees on fixed incomes shouldn’t have to lower their standard of living when their yesterdays outnumber their tomorrows,” said Suzanne Grove, a small builder who contended that impact fees would unduly burden businesses like hers. “First they want conditions. Then they want proffers. Then they come back and want more conditions. Then they come back and want more proffers. Now they want impact fees on top of that,” said Bailey Craig, saying he wasn’t necessarily opposed to building fees alone. Before adjourning last Wednesday’s public hearing in Albemarle and taking the subcommittee on to Richmond for the last in the series of statewide meetings, Del. Cranwell pointed again to the “terrible transportation problems” faced by Northern Virginia, Tidewater and Richmond. These three areas pay more in taxes to the state than they get in revenue from the state. “They are exporters of state revenue,” and if something isn’t done to assist these local governments with their transportation dilemma, “we can choke to death one of the greatest resources we have,” he cautioned. “There’s no question that impact fees are possible,” Del. Cranwell said. “Whether impact fees are reasonable or not depends on how they’re structured.” Continued from page 1 safety features for adequacy in preventing leachate from entering the environment and the sufficiency of its monitoring system for detecting this contamination. In fact, his report is titled “A Study of the Impact of Solid Waste Disposal in Amissville, Virginia.” On the basis of various technical reports produced by Joyce Engineering, the firm hired by the county to evaluate the Stover site and design the landfill, Mr. McThenia concludes: • the site has numerous deficiencies, “the most disturbing of which is its proximity to wells, streams and wetlands areas.” • the metal treads on the bulldozer to be used for daily operations “could easily press sharp rocks, wood or metal through the liner” in the disposal trench. • the placement of the French drain system, which is intended .to provide early warning of any leaking leachate, “is not conducive to safety” SCENIC RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY!!

If surface topography is any reflection of the bedrock shape, and it probably is, then this gully would act as a funnel for ground water traveling to the creek. Contamination traveling here would never enter the monitoring wells and would enter the creek undetected.” i • the model also ignores the issue of ground water flowing in the frac■ tures of the bedrock. Mr. McThenia concludes “the entire geotechnical evaluation of this site is faulty” and that “unfortunately, Rappahannock County’s citizens, in particular those of Amissville, will be forced to bear the costs of a hasty decision and an inadequate evaluation.” County expected ground water study — not an attack on landfill’s design “Bemused and surprised” was County Administrator John McCarthy’s response to Mr. McThenia’s report. Saying he has pot yet received a copy and so couldn’t reply to particulars, Mr. McCarthy added: “Our understanding was that he was conducting a ground water study in the Amissville area, not a criticism of INCREDIBLE VIEW ON 25 ACRES 4 year old log cabin on 25 + gorgeous acres.

The administrator said he’d discussed the county’s plans for solid waste disposal with the graduate student on two occasions. “But a couple of half-hour discussions do not a serious study make.” And Mr. McCarthy questioned the conclusions drawn without evidence, for example, that property surrounding the landfill will be devalued, adding that to his knowledge, Mr. McThenia had not examined tax and sales records to determine the impact Rappahannock’s earlier landfill has had on the worth of neighboring land. “All this while, we’ve been trying to be very careful, bringing in expensive and highly-regarded talent whenever there’s been a question,” Mr. McCarthy continued. “I’m just sorry we went to the expense of time and money for our consultants, and the hours we devoted to a meticulous review of landfill plans with the Department of Waste Management in the permitting process, when we had a graduate student who could tell us everything we were doing wrong.” Speiryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703)987-8088 Ben Venue Area, 22 open and wooded acres, stream, road frontage, outstanding view. $100,000.
