The Board of Supervisors will consider this recommendation when it takes up the rezoning request at its December meeting. The Smets had proposed to subdivide approximately 120 acres into nine parcels, each containing at least 10 acres. One of the parcels would be more than 25 acres, and the Smets’ proposal also asked that they be allowed to cut off another parcel of more than 10 acres from that residue at some future time. Part of the property, which is located on Route 642 just south of its intersection with U.S. 211 in Amissville, is currently zoned R-2, which allows two-acre house lots. The remainder of the land is zoned Agriculture, which requires a minimum lot size of 25 acres. The Rural Residential zoning requested would allow lots of five acres, but the Smets offered to proffer the larger lots as a condition of the rezoning. Restrictions against further subdivision would also have been included in the deeds to the lots. Attorney Frank Reynolds, representing the Smets, said they had petitions with 41 names of people who supported the proposed subdivision, saying they preferred the larger lots rather than tw o-acre lots or cluster zoning. He said they were proposing additional restrictions “aimed at making sure it is a high-quality subdivision.” The additional restrictions would require that each house be at least 2,500 square feet, not counting garage space; that all utilities be underground; that all fuel storage be underground; that above-ground foundations be brick faced, that any satellite dishes be screened; that all lots be board fenced, and that no metal fence be allowed unless it is screened; that no tents or trailers be allowed and that no recreational vehicles be allowed unless they are garaged, Mr. Reynolds explained. SeeSMET, p. 12 Schools plan lobbying effort to regain lost state aid By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board approved its own legislative agenda for the upcoming session of the General Assembly at its regular meeting on Nov. 14. Two items concerned monies that were left out of the Department of Education’s budget as it has been prepared for this year, which were included in previous years and which have benefited Rappahannock County — funds for school systems with declining enrollments and funds for vocational centers such as Piedmont Technical Education Center. School Superintendent David Gangel told the board members that these two items were also left out of the last budget as it was submitted to the Assembly, but were restored by the legislators. He urged the board members to let Rappahannock’s representatives know the board wants the monies restored again this year. He explained that the funds for enrollment loss do not make up for funds lost in basic aid, but they do “soften the blow,” he said. Another recommendation was that the board oppose a bill to require “binding arbitration” in the case of an employee's grievance. “Binding arbitration does not produce a cooperative working environment,” he said. “Instead, it produces polarization.” A fourth recommendation concerns school system consolidation. Dr. Gangel told the board that the Grayson Commission has been studying the issue, and that, so far, its recommendations only concern cities and would have no effect on Rappahannock County. However, he urged the board to “let our legislators know that we think our small size is our strength. ” Dr. Gangel said that the elementary school Parent-Teacher Association has already voted support for this legislative agenda and that the building administrators also support it. He said he hopes, with support from the board and from the Education Association, to get together a delegation from those groups to. “go see our elected officials. ” School Board Chairwoman Beverly Massie said that all the counties involved with Piedmont Technical Education Center are concerned that the elimination of funds for vocational centers will transfer the burden to their budgets. “As for the Grayson report, we have been through that. We know what it is to be consolidated,” she said. She noted that the Rappahannock school system was consolidated with Warren County’s until 1975. “We know the strides we have made in Rappahannock County since w-e have been on our own,” she added. The board voted to accept Dr. Gangel’s recommended legislative agenda. During time for public comment near the end of the meeting and before the board went into executive session, high school math teacher Helen LaCava told the board they should know that “not everyone in your employ agrees with the superintendent about binding arbitration. Binding arbitration as it will be before the General Assembly does not add one thing that will cost money,” she said. “It is not that kind of problem. ” Outside, while the executive session was going on, Mrs. LaCava explained that currently if a tenured employee is dismissed and feels she has a grievance, she can ask for a panel to hear the grievance. The School Board has to pay for the expenses of the panel but does not have to take its recommendation. Under “binding arbitration” the board would have to accept the panel's recommendation, she explained. Mrs. LaSee SCHOOLS, p. 12 Thanksgiving service planned On Thanksgiving Day, Americans across the country will reflect on our nation’s forefathers — whose struggle and survival they celebrated with the first Thanksgiving. Rappahannock residents continue that first Thanksgiving’s tradition with a community Thanksgiving church service, honoring our heritage and offering thanks for our blessings. Washington Baptist Church, located at the comer of Mt. Salem Ave. and Gay St., will host the 10 a.m. service. “This is something which has been going on for years,” explained Trinity Episcopal Church’s Rev. Jennings Hobson III. The interdenominational service has grown over the years as well, and now includes seven participating clergy and their congregations. This year it will include Rappahannock County’s Methodist Charge (Sperryville, Flint Hill and Willis Chapel Methodist Churches), Washington, Sperryville, Promise Land and First Baptist Churches, St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Mission and Trinity Episcopal Church. The location of the service is rotated annually to give each church an opportunity to host the event. The Rev. Wendell Grant of Washington’s First Baptist Church will deliver the sermon at the Thanksgiving service. Five other participating pastors; the Rev. Hobson, the Rev. Merlin Shorb, the Rev. John Pendleton, the Rev. Earl Gerald and Father Albert Verbeke, will read Scripture, lead prayers, or perform other duties during the service. An offering will be taken and the proceeds donated to the Rappahannock County Department of Social Services. The department is currently organizing a drive to provide Christmas baskets to the area’s neediest families. Boundary solution will be done by amendments to ordinances By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Washington’s Town Council will hear at its December meeting what form the solution to its ongoing problem with straddle lots will take. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds told the council at its Nov. 8 meeting that he and County Attorney Peter Luke will meet and decide the exact language which will be proposed for each jurisdiction’s ordinance amendment. The proposals would then be. advertised for public hearing and must then be approved by the Town Council and the county Board of Supervisors. Town resident Claybert Smoot, whose difficulties with a lot split by the town/county boundary precipitated the efforts to resolve problems with straddle lots, told the council that he has discovered that the town map may have boundaries incorrectly drawn. The map, which was originally drawn as an index to the county’s property tax records, has recently been used as a reference in the discussion about the straddle lots and may have the northern boundary drawn in the wrong place. Mr. Smoot said he walked the area from Blue Ridge Ave. to Main St. with a surveyor, and when the old metes and bounds are followed the boundary lines up with the old boundary marker on Main St., which is some 50 feet further north along the road than the tax map shows the boundary. "Why should we bear the burden and take the hardship for something that someone else did wrong?” — Claybert Smoot Washington resident “The town charter goes by the survey, not by the tax map,” Mayor Dean Morehouse told Mr. Smoot. “If that’s the case, then we can get this straightened out.” Council member' Peter Skowronski expressed a preference for resolving the problem by resurveying the boundaries to conform to lot lines. “That’s a boundary adjustment,” Councilman Ray Gooch pointed out. “We decided at the last meeting that we didn’t want to redraw the boundaries.” “I never would have agreed to that,” Mr. Skowronski replied. “We should put them back in just like they were taken out.” “Dean (Mayor Morehouse) raised the question of boundary adjustments,” Mr. Gooch explained. “We decided that instead of individual boundary line adjustments that we would pursue an evenhanded policy.” Mr. Skowronski, however, remained unconvinced. “An agreement which leaves any lots split by the boundary is unacceptable to me.” Mr. Gooch suggested that the council allow the two attorneys to work out language for the two ordinance amendments and schedule a joint public hearing, “to hear if the people want it or not.” Mr. Smoot, however, objected to the planned application of the Historic District Ordinance to any parcels created from the combination of town and county property, as is proposed under the joint agreement. “Why should we bear the burden and take the hardship for something that someone else did wrong?” he asked. Mr. Gooch replied that, “in return for giving up open space, we (the town) say we want the Historic District Ordinance to apply to anything that you build. That’s the tradeoff ... if not, I don’t support that plan.” See COUNCIL, p.12

CSC's newlbuilding named for Mrs. Thornton On Nov. 30, at 2 p.m. the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board will dedicate its new Aylor-Thomton Building (old National Guard Armory, 710 U.S. Avenue). Howard Cullum, commissioner of the Virginia Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse will deliver the keynote address. The Board of Directors decided to dedicate their new building in the name of two of its longest-standing board members, Louise Aylor and Frances Thornton. Mrs. Aylor served as a Public Health nurse in Madison County for 24 years. She was Northwest Region of Virginia Public Health Nurse of the Year in 1984 and 1985, and Virginia Public Health Nurse of the Year in 1986. Mrs. Aylor served on the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board from 1974 to 1988 and was chairwoman of the board from 1984 through 1985. Frances Thornton retired in 1986, after serving as Rappahannock’s first and only Public Health nurse for 36 years. She has served on the Community Services Board for the past 17 years. Participating in the dedication ceremony will be David Jones, chairman of the Madison Board of Supervisors and Hubert Gilkey, chairman Be a smart shopper Be a smart shopper . . . don’t buy over-packaged goods. You know the kind — vegetables on plastic trays wrapped in plastic. The produce looks great, and the packaging cuts down on spoilage due to handling — but ultimately it all ends up in the landfill. Ask for unpackaged produce and other items - retailers listen to consumer comments! of Rappahannock County’s Board of Supervisors, who will speak of the years of outstanding community service contributed by Mrs. Aylor and Mrs. Thornton. The Community Services Center purchased the old National Guard Armory last March and has spent the last six months renovating the facility to meet the agency’s growing need for day programming, according to acting director Kevin Mitchell. The purchase and renovation were made possible by the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse’s new Community Initiative Funding Program. For years Community Service Boards throughout Virginia have struggled with the realities of “deinstitutionalization;” hundreds of chronically mentally ill or severely retarded individuals being de-institutionalized to their respective communities without adequate funding to establish community-based programs to meet their needs, Mr. Mitchell explained. Local Community Service Boards were asked to develop a “Comprehensive Plan” covering four bienniums of service development. Commissioner Cullum and others lobbied extensively to get the General Assembly's approval of funding for Phase One of the community initiative. During its 1988 session, the General Assembly passed Senate Joint Resolution 50, which largely encompassed Commissioner Cullum’s recommendations. The Aylor-Thomton Building will be used to house the agency’s Laurel House (a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program), Vocational Training Program, Adult Day Activity Program and Supported Employment Program. ■ i .BSLji iemLB*A(|TlJill^S^^W^ GOT A GANG FOR THANKSGIVING?

NEWS Avtex blames state for shutdown Officials charge Gregg’s comments untrue By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer Avtex Fibers officials attempted to set the record straight on events leading up to their plant shut down as they await a decision from a Richmond Circuit Court judge regarding state allegations that Avtex polluted the Shenandoah River with PCBs. State representatives ignored plans submitted by Avtex for a more organized shutdown, said John N. Gregg, board chairman of Avtex, in a statement released last Thursday, Nov. 16. Burt Rohrer, spokesman for the attorney general’s office, refuted Gregg’s story, saying no such plans were ever delivered. The aging rayon-manufacturing company turned off its power and ended its 50 years of production on a hectic Friday Nov. 10, seeding fear of a release of toxic gases rippling through Front Royal and Warren County. The plant shutdown came as a result of the State Water Control Board’s decision to revoke Avtex’s waste water discharge permit. State tests indicate that Avtex is responsible for PCBs — or polchlorinated byphenyls being leaked into the Shenandoah River. Other evidence suggests that the company was aware of the possibility of contamination as far back as 1986. State Police are currently looking into allegations that Avtex deliberately dumped the PCBs. “Commonwealth officials elected to ignore plans previously submitted by Avtex for a more orderly shutdown of the facility,” said Gregg. “They, along with officials of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), were well aware of the consequences of the water board’s decision to force an immediate shutdown.” Responding to the charges, state officials indicated Gregg’s comments were laced with lies. “I would argue that they never had a plan at all,” said Rohrer. “The only plan we saw was a plan to stay in business.” The state law office did, however, receive a response, requested three weeks ago, outlining the steps involved in a plant shutdown. The process, received the afternoon of the plant closure, was never submitted as a proposal, said Rohrer. It was also late, he added. The EPA, too, disputed Gregg’s words, saying that Avtex officials never made clear, their plans to shut down the entire plant. “We’re seeing things a little bit differently,” said Bill Toffel, EPA communications officer. Avtex officials notified the EPA that the water board had revoked their permit, but did not relate their plans to close the plant, according to Toffel. While Avtex maintained that the water board’s actions forced the plant’s permanent shut down, Toffel contended that the plant could continue to operate without the use of its waste water treatment plant. Following the close dawn, EPA and state officials became concerned that carbon disulfide within the plant had not been properly secured. The chemical, which is harmful if inhaled, is kept in liquid form by water pumped into the chemical holding tanks. State and federal environmental agencies did not-know until late Friday evening that Avtex had left power to generate the water pumps. Other concerns spawned by discontinued operations of the plant related to rayon-producing equipment that risked permanent damage when it was shut down in mid-process. Raw viscose circulating through the machines hardens within a few days. Ironically, Avtex official also now warn of continued pollution because the plant is no longer operating. “[The water board] has accomplished absolutely nothing from an environmental perspective and, despite claims of state officials, may result in the release of untreated waste water to the Shenandoah River,” said Gregg. State and federal environmental agencies reject Avtex’s claim, saying that river pollution has ceased. All waste water is been diverted to on-site lagoons, explained Toffel. Though plant cleanup is expected to be a lengthy process, it is running efficiently, said Toffel. Four special freight cars, owned by Akzo Chemicals, were expected to roll into Front Royal Sunday, Nov. 19, and removal the carbon disulfide from the plant and return of the chemical to its manufacturer was expected to be completed within a few days. In addition, all chlorine has been removed from the site, and a multi-agency assessment is identifying possible additional sources of contamination. Cleanup work is being shared by Avtex and state and federal agencies. Avtex officials have also expressed concern that a joint Avtex and FMC Corp. (the plant’s former owner) cleanup of contaminated well water would come to a halt without use of the waste water treatment plant. However, Toffel said that the EPA will likely set up its own system of purification for the groundwater contamination, which has previously been designated as a federal Superfund project. As cleanup efforts continue Avtex awaits its fate on the PCB allegations following a Nov. 15 court hearing. Lawyers from the Virginia Attorney General’s office requested that Richmond Circuit Court Judge T.J. Markow require immediate payment of a $2 million penalty owed to Front Royal and Warren County for discharge permit violations and impose a $990,000 penalty for violating an agreement with the state to cease all river pollution. Judge Markow said he would rule “in due course.” On Tuesday, Nov. 21, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that the EPA has slapped a $40 million lien on Avtex Fibers Inc. The civil action, filed Nov. 16 in Warren County Circuit Court, is designed to assure that the costs of the cleanup are paid by Avtex Inc. and not the federal taxpayers, according to EPA officials. The Times-Dispatch report said that $40 million is the “estimated maximum the government might spend” in cleaning up the polluted plant site, according to Wayne Walters of the EPA’s Philadelphia office. The Commonwealth of Virginia has also filed a $2 million lien against the company, the newspaper report added. Read about local farm issues here 0/ )0 'o S 20% OFF Sale!

According to Trooper K. A. Blanton, Kennetl Jenkins, 27, of Boston, lost control of his 1989 Nissan pickup and ran off the right side of t \e road, striking an embankment. Mr. Jenkins and a passenger were taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital by the Castleton and Salem volunteer rescue squads. J Col. Cox speaks on military history The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, National Societies Daughters of the American Revolution, met Nov. 14, at the Culpeper United Methodist Church, with Mrs. Carlyle Crigler, Regent, presiding and with Mrs. Robert W. Brown and Mrs. Ottoway W. Groves as hostesses. Col. Philip S. Cax, retired from the Air Force, was the speaker for the afternoon. Col. Cox led a busy life both within the military and without, and his experiences made him aptly qualified to speak on “A Century of Service by the Military 1890-1990.” He spoke of military men who tried and succeeded >ir failed to advise on military matters, pointing out the fact that the “military mind” was one in no way of a narrow perspective but of broad perceptions of our place in the world. He cited Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, who in 1890 wrote of the influence of sea power on history. From experiences in the SpanishAmerican War in 1898 and the influence of Admiral Mahan’s book, Teddy Roosevelt when President pushed through the decision to build the Panama Canal. Billy Mitchell was mentioned in regard to influencing the use of air power. Articles by George Kenon on United States containment policy in regard to the Soviets have been of influence in regard to events in Europe. Col. Cox emphasized how important it is to look back at our history and note what are the things that kept us free, kept us well and kept us moving fonvard, however imperfect they all were. The message from President General Mrs. Eldred M. Yochim stressed how thankful we are to have the freedom to celebrate Thanksgiving and the ties that bind and referred to the first Thanksgiving proclamation on Oct. 3, 1789 by George Washington. Delegates to the Continental Congress in Washington, D.C., in April 1990, were chosen. District VI Director Mrs. Edgar F. Puryear Jr. reported on a tour she joined to visit five schools that the DAR either owrns or participates in actively. All were formed by local women who saw the end of disadvantaged children. Reports were made of activities during Constitution Week and of the much-enjoyed Centennial Jubilee luncheon held at the Lake of the Woods in October. Definition of “Medieval:" Partly bad.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member Audit Bureau of Circulation Editorial The holiday spirit This week, families across the county will join together for the celebration of Thanksgiving. It is a time traditionally given to families, and to counting our blessings. It is also a time to remember those less fortunate, those who may not have the necessities, much less the luxuries of life. For some, there is no Thanksgiving turkey, no steaming vegetables, no family gathered around the dinner table. For others, there is no place to call home, much less a table laden with the bounties of the season. As we remember our blessings, let us also contribute to the others around us who are unable to share our good fortune. Rappahannock County residents have several opportunities within the next days and weeks to help their neighbors in need. First, the Extension Homemakers are sponsoring a Bloodmobile at the Washington Volunteer Fire Department on Monday, Nov. 27 from 4 to 8 p.m. As was done in the spring, the Bloodmobile has included evening hours in an attempt to boost participation by those who work outside the county. We hope that many residents will take a few minutes on their way home from work, or come from home, to give the precious gift of life that blood donors provide. / The Department of Social Services is sponsoring its annual holiday food basket drive for county residents. Canned goods and donations of money are now being collected at the Social Services office on Gay St. in Washington. The department requests that all donations be made by Dec. 18 so that a final count on the number of baskets available can be made. Those residents who contribute to the Bloodmobile, and to the Social Services effort, will certainly find their own lives enriched by giving of themselves. They can also find satisfaction in knowing that they have truly contributed to the spirit of the holiday season.

Letters to the editor In defense of Mr. Artz To the editor: If Harold Artz said the things reported in the Rappahannock News about the citizens of Scrabble in their use of the dumpsters in the Scrabble area, he probably did make it a little strong and should not have lumped all the citizens of Scrabble into the “pig” category. In my travels around the county I have observed the dumpsters at Scrabble and Flint Hill, and at times I have observed an accumulation of trash and appliances all around the areas. I have also observed scavengers in and out of the dumpsters, throwing the trash this way and that, not helping the situation at all. Before the landfill, Amissville’s dumpsters were the worst of the three. I am afraid we had some “pigs” using our dumpsters! As much as we dislike having a landfill in our area, I, for one, am happy to have someone as conscientious and responsible as Mr. Artz, as the landfill operator. Mr. Artz is only doing what he was hired to do, when he insists that we put our trash and throw-aways in the proper container or place. He has someone who checks on him to see that everything is disposed of properly. Each time we do not dispose of our trash properly, it costs us money to have it picked up and moved (which increases our taxes.) Let us all dispose of our trash properly, then no one will call us “pigs”. I suggest that county taxpayers go to the landfill and see how well Mr. Artz is doing his job. Keep up the good work Mr. Artz! I am glad you are on the county payroll! Sometimes it takes something such as your “reported comment” to get our attention. By the way, I was bom in Rappahannock County and live in the “suburbs” of Amissville. ROY F. JENKINS Amissville Just report the news To the editor: As the real polls in Rappahannock County showed on Nov 7, the majority of voters rejected your persistent plea for Doug Wilder. And when we get the final count, there is a good chance the entire state of Virginia will also reject your opinions. We don’t need or want to know who you endorse. Just report the news in an unbiased manner and let the voters make their own decisions as to who will make them the best Governor or any other elected official. CATHY FRAZIER Amissville Thrift shop thanks patrons To the editor: The Washington Ladies Auxiliary will close its thrift shop for the winter on Nov. 29. We will still accept donations of items during the winter, items can be left on the enclosed porch at anytime. We really appreciate your patronage this year, and thanks to everyone who donated items and bought from us, also thanks to Mrs. Mae Smoot, Mrs. Annie Hawkins, Ms. Rosie Wharton and Amanda Brown for their help in the shop. The Ladies Auxiliary will reopen the shop, come Spring. Thanks again. RUTH CLARK President, Washington VFD Ladies Auxiliary Pollsters face potential loss of credibility By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer On the night before the Nov. 7 election, Republican tracking polls showed Democrat Douglas Wilder leading Republican gubernatorial nominee Marshall Coleman by only three percentage points. Even better news for the GOP was that the undecided vote appeared to be breaking for Coleman. While this was happening, the state’s media was still repeatedly saying Wilder would probably beat APPLE Computes INC. headline: ‘SUPERMARKETS, SCHOOLS JOIN COMPUTER DRIVE" Coleman handily. This columnist certainly does not intend to engage in any media bashing. After all, two of three statewide polls taken shortly before the election had Wilder far ahead of his rival. The Washington Post was saying the Democrat led the Republican by 11 points, with just seven percent undecided, while The Richmond Times-Dispatch had Wilder ahead by nine points, with an incredible 19 percent undecided. Only the Mason-Dixion poll, which showed Wilder ahead by four points, came close to predicting the breathtaking finish that put Wilder over the top by a hair — providing he doesn’t lose in a coming recount. And even that respected poll lost some of its well-earned credibility when its exit polling on election day showed that Wilder would beat Coleman by 10 percentage points. One has to wonder how the two pre-election polls showing Wilder would win in a landslide could have been so far from reality. That is particularly true when all polls showed Republican fCddy Dalton with a substantial lead over Democratic newcomer Don Beyer. Beyer, of course, easily defeated Mrs. Dalton, contrary to the predictions made by practically every political pundit in Virginia, including this one. Modesty, however, almost prevents me from pointing out that in a final column written just before the election, I said there could be a “nobody knows but God and me” factor in the gubernatorial race. That suggested the possibility that thousands of moderate and con Old Dominion Politics servative Democrats and independents who publicly proclaimed support for Wilder — and many who told pollsters they would vote for Wilder — silently flipped the voting switch for Coleman in the privacy of the voting booth. Dr. Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia, commenting on the erroneous exit polling in the gubernatorial contest, said it was obvious that many of those surveyed lied in saying they had voted for Wilder. The exit polling, he noted, was right on the money in forecasting big victories for Beyer and Democratic Attorney-General Mary Sue Terry. Thus/Wilder’s race was apparently a major factor in making the outcome of the gubernatorial battle the closest ever in state history. And because few people in these enlightened days are likely to tell anyone outright that they would vote against a political candidate merely because of his or her color, some of the skewed polling of the Washington and Richmond newspapers can probably be explained. Even so, I know of few impartial observers who believed that Wilder would win by 11 points or that there were as many as 19 percent voters undecided just a few days before the election. The consensus was that Wilder would win, but that Coleman’s heavy media campaign still gave him an outside chance of pulling it out. The Mason-Dixon poll — except for the recent exit polling - has outshone by far The Post poll in the last two statewide elections and dohe better than the Times-DispatCh After all, in 1985 The Post poll had Wilder ahead of Republican John Chichester by an astounding <14 percentage points just hours before election day, and Wilder managed to win by only three points and would likely have lost had not torrential rains hit heavily Republican areas-of the state. The president of Mason-Dixcji polling, after hearing about the other polls, said there was no mane formula and that the important th3> was all the polls showed Wil<3 ahead.

French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his own.

%■ Recycling is a great idea... but "lien me county started its recycling program last year, I thought it was a great idea. I participated at each monthly recycling day, dutifully hauling my bottles and cans to the collection point at the county park outside Washington. When the landfill opened, and the recycling center was established there, I supported that as well. I still think recycling is a great idea and will become mcreasingly necessary as trash disposal becomes both more difficult and expensive. Those observations aside, however, I must confess that I no longer participate in the county program. Why? The answer is simple, and it’s selfish. In one word, it is inconvenient. Now that recyclables must be hauled to the county landfill on the far side of Amissville, it takes the better part of an hour to drive to the landfill from my home in the F.T. Valley, dump off the goods and drive back. I could stop by the landfill each Wednesday on. iny way to Warrenton to put together the newspaper, but the landfill and the recycling center •are closed that day. I still take my newspapers — and all the old papers from the Rappahannock News office — to the truck at the Amissville fire department, because I can dump them off on my way to Warreinton. I m sure that I’m not the only county resident in this situation. I’m not against recycling, and I want the county’s program to work. But for the program to work, it has to be as easy as possible. That’s why I hope that the From my choir. . . by Lou Hotter county can find a spot for a second recycling center in the Washington-Sperryville corridor, possibly along U.S. 211. That would be centrally 4Qcated — in a word, convenient. As I said before, my non-participation is selfish. But I don’t think that it’s reasonable to expect many residents to invest an hour of their time, plus gas to drive back and forth, to participate in the program. I have used the same argument in discussions about possible closure of the county’s dumpsters at Scrabble and Huntly. If they are closed, I predict an increase in the amount of trash dumped along the county’s roads. No, I won’t be one of the residents who does that •— but there will be some — that I can guarantee. The problem again is convenience. Some residents, especially those in the outlying southern end of the county, simply aren’t going to be willing to drive to Amissville to dump their trash. Sadly, the only option will be dumping it along back roads. If there were recycling centers at the dumpster sites, I would happily sort my recyclables, then deposit my cans and bottles along with the rest of my trash. * But I understand the concerns about having the sites open. The aluminum, certainly, and any- ] thing else of value, would swiftly be taken by the ( dumpster divers who prowl the sites looking for castoff treasures. ‘ My problem is minor compared to those who t work outside the county. They leave before the i landfill opens and return after it’s closed. And on < Saturdays, I’m sure that most of them have more ( important chores to do than to haul trash across the county. All of this, however, may end on a happy note. * Nina Stamer, the county’s litter and recycling coordinator, told us at the recycling meeting Nov. i 14 that she is exploring the possibility of locating , a second recycling center at the school bus garage. If School Superintendent David Gangel ; agrees, she said, the matter must then be approved by the School Board. I hope that they can work out the details. I’ll • be the first to again start saving those bottles and cans, and drop them off on my way to work at the news office in Washington. That’s what I call convenient. Campaign passed over real issues By JAMES C. MILLER III Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Virginia Governor’s race is now over. As of this writing (Nov. 8), only the Good Lord knows who really won. Wilder is narrowly ahead, but Coleman has asked for a recount. During this period of uncertainty, perhaps we can assess the race and the future with some measure of objectivity. First, despite the drubbing both candidates received for negative advertizing, the salient feature of this campaign was the absence of any overt focus on race. That’s not to say race didn’t play a part. Some whites no doubt voted for Coleman because they just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a black man. And the overwhelming support Wilder got in the black community had something to do with race, though for many, if not most, it likely was a matter of pride rather than prejudice. I saw that pride on the faces of some of the black people that attended the Coleman reception at the Omni last evening. I detected that pride in the voice of my wife when she broke the news to me that Mondale had chosen Ferraro as his running mate. And I felt that pride beat within my own chest when I saw a Southerner sworn in as President in 1977. No, Wilder ran as a Democrat, not as a black candidate. And Coleman ran as a Republican, not as a white candidate. Both are to be congratulated for keeping the election out of the racial thicket. The disappointing thing to me about the campaign is that it was fought over issues that are largely irrelevant to the new governor. The crisis facing the Old Dominion’s new chief executive will not be abortion or campaign style. It will be the state’s looming fiscal crisis. What the commission, established by Coleman and headed by former Congressman Caldwell Butler, found out was that the state is essentially broke. Over the past seven years, the state budget of Virginia has nearly doubled; in real terms it has increased by approximately one-half. The revenues to finance that increase have come basically from two sources. First, the economy of Virginia has boomed, generating a substantial, increasing flow into the state treasury. Second, state taxes have been raised. The bad news is that the boost in Virginia’s economy came in major part from the Reagan-Bush administration’s defense build-up (especially helpful in the Tidewater area) and the emphasis on research and development (Northern Virginia). But those halcyon days are over. Virginia’s economy may continue to grow, but it won’t get the “national dividend” it has gotten in the past. The flow of state revenues will attenuate as a result. Also, Virginia has pretty much priced itself out of the market when it comes to making the state an attractive place for economic development. Property taxes are soaring, especially in Northern Virginia. New licensing fees abound. The state tax on gasoline is the 12th highest in the country. And its income tax rate is second only to Maryland’s, among its neighbors. Few people are aware that Virginia has a higher marginal income tax rate than California!

In short, there’s no new money out there. On the expenditure side, the state budget is almost all committed. This is an extraordinary change from just a few years ago. A major, and increasing, proportion of the state budget is in areas which politicians like to term “uncontrollable” — pensions, welfare, education and the like. But where are the funds to address emerging priorities such as transportation? Crime prevention? Educational opportunity? And economic development in Southwestern Virginia? It’s simply not there. The money’s been spent. The tragedy of the 1989 campaign is that the voter referendum was over abortion and campaign style — and that came out a draw. Despite what I know to be sincere 1 efforts by some in the Coleman campaign to raise “the real issues,” they were never adequately addressed in the public and media dialogue. That’s a shame, for the challenges of the fiscal crisis will soon be upon us, and the coterie of officials we’ve chosen to represent us will not have been given our guidance.

Merlin Shorb Rappahannock Methodist Charge Flint Hilly Sperry ville, Willis Chapel THANKSGIVING On Thanksgiving Day many New England families customarily place five kernels of com on each plate at the carving of the turkey. These kernels represent the daily ration per person of their Pilgrim ancestors prior to the first harvest in the new land. As we know, many of them succumbed to the harsh winter on such meager fare. What we may overlook is that those same settlers nevertheless gave thanks over those provisions. This year as we load up our tables with all the delectable entrees of the season we will do well to remember the five kernels. These speak not only of our history but also of the harsh realities of our own times. At this very moment the cruel gap between rich and poor is expanding. The inflationary pressures that fuel this trend are squeezing out the middle class majority on which our Republic is built. It ought to be an occasion of national shame when any family slips below the poverty line, especially among the working classes. But this is Thanksgiving. And we need to be thankful that an hourly wage worker can still put bread on the table on two day's earnings out of the week. We need to be thankful that great volunteer organizations, the most efficient of whom are the churches, are responding capably with relief. We need to be thankful that our own nation at great cost to herself has faithfully responded to human need in all parts of the globe. We have not withheld aid over questions of ideology or color or circumstance or religion. We have given freely of our bounty. And God has blessed us. At this glorious season let us never regard a bountiful harvest with its enormous risk as anything other than God's blessing. Let us never think of our prosperity as a coincidence of history. Let us thank God, the living God, for prospering our labors and filling our tables once again. A true Thanksgiving is not found in overstuffing ourselves. A true Thanksgiving is a heart overflowing with gratitude to the Lord who made it all possible.

What to do with leftovers? »y ntLtIN w. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics No Thanksgiving would be complete without the tradition of leftovers. “Planned-overs” is really a better way to describe the leftover turkey, because most of us intentionally cook a larger bird than we will eat at our Thanksgiving dinner, in order to have cooked turkey meat to use for turkey sandwiches, casseroles and salads. After the meal As soon as possible after serving rrefrigerate "the leftovers. Remove stuffing from neck and body cavities. Wrap the turkey in foil and store in the refrigerator, or remove meat from bones and wrap securely. Use gravy and stuffing within 2 or 3 days. Heat the stuffing throughly and bring gravy to boiling before serving. Serve refrigerated, cooked turkey meat within 3 to 4 days after roasting. It can be reheated or served cold. Small meal-sized portions, properly wrapped, may be frozen and held for up to one month. Cooked stuffing may be frozen and kept for three to four weeks. If stored in the freezer for a longer period of time, turkey meat will not spoil, but a gradual deterioration in the quality takes place, including drying and “off” flavors. Frozen dressings may be heated without thawing or can be thawed in the refrigerator. When ready to reuse gravies or broths, reheat to boiling before serving. Nutrition in turkey Turkey is a high-protein food that is considered part of the meat group (two or more servings daily recommended by the USDA). An average serving of turkey, which is 3 1/2 ounces or 100 grams, provides 176 calories (light meat, no skin), and 32 grams of protein. It’s low in calories and low in fat, too. Serving ideas The following recipes are designed to make the post-holiday meals as special as the big event itself.

Well, the good news is that adding steam to your bathroom is surprisingly simple and affordable. Although some companies make separate steambath enclosures, it’s 1 much more common to just add steam to your existing shower stall. The first requirement is to seal ; the enclosure so that the steam stays ■ put. Many companies manufacture : tight-sealing, full-length replacement : doors. Your local glass company can help with ordering and installation. A residential steam generator looks like a briefcase and it can be hidden in back of a vanity, inside a nearby closet, up in the attic or down i in the basement or crawlspace. The | steam generators are typically made ; of stainless steal and work much like ; electric teakettles. The simplest systems operate effectively from a timer outside the shower enclosure. Fancier options include temperature controls and digital readout panels. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

Anthea performs at Nat'l Theatre Local bellydancer Anthea performed with the Topkapi Dancers at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., as part of the “Monday Night at the National” series. The ensemble presented two shows outlining the history of Oriental Dance from Pharonic times to the present. Oriental Dance, called bellydance in America, is the Mid-eastern version of a dance form that spread from India through the Mid-east to Spain. Pictures of bellydancers painted 15,000 years ago have been found on cave walls in Europe. Anthea is known locally for her bellygrams, which surprise many a birthday boy and retiree in this area, and she also performs under the name “Kawakib” at the Casablanca Restaurant in Alexandria. Besides teaching Oriental Dance privately in her home in Boston, Anthea conducts a Beginner Course for the Community Education Department in Charlottesville. In March she will be returning to the National Theatre with the Topkapi Dancers, for a Saturday-morning children’s program on Mideastern folkdance. Sues Fashion Outlet 6 E.

Schools Continued from page 1 Cava said she felt such legislation was needed, not because of any situation in Rappahannock County, but because of instances that have occurred in other parts of the state. The School Board also considered the cost of health insurance for employees next year. Dr. Gangel showed the board one page of a 99' page draft report on next year’s proposal for Blue Cross-Blue Shield health insurance. This year, as it has in the past, Rappahannock school employees can be covered by a Blue Cross-Blue Shield group policy cov. ering all school system employees. Starting next year, school system employees will be eligible to participate in a plan with all state employees in the group. The monthly premium for that plan is currently about $6.70 less for a single subscriber than the school system plan, Dr. Gangel said, but he explained that this didn’t say anything about what the premium would be next year. “The thrust of the draft proposal is that it would put more of the premium on the employer,” he said. He noted that the school system is currently contributing 66 percent of a single subscriber’s premium. The draft proposal calls for the employer to contribute at least 50 percent for employees to be eligible for the coverage next year, but that percentage would increase 10 percent per year, until, by the 1993-94 budget year, the employer would have to contribute at least 80 percent. In addition, Rappahannock has never contributed anything towards the additional cost for employees who elect to have family members covered also. The draft proposal would require that the employer contribute 10 percent of that additional premium next year, and that percentage would also increase 10 percent per year until 1994-95, when it would be at least 50 percent. Dr. Gangel had more bad news on the financial front for the board. The “Orangeburg pipe,” which is the main sewer pipe coming out of the • high school, may have been damaged during the construction project, he said. It has been getting plugged up more and more frequently, he said. He told the board members that each time the school has to get someone to come and unplug it, it costs $100 to $150. The last time it was almost impossible to get the “snake” through, he said. He said he had gotten one estimate of $3,500 to replace it. “There is $100 for unanticipated maintenance in the budget,, and it is already committed,” he said. “We have to replace it, and there are no funds to do it.” “If we’ve got to do it, let’s get it done before the ground freezes.” Mrs. Massie suggested. Dr. Gangel said he would seek further estimates. The good news was in instruction. “Fine things have been happening,” Dr. Gangel said. He noted that many teachers had taken a class to learn how to work the computers at both schools; three teachers had been selected to present talks about Council Continued from page 1 The council authorized Mr. Reynolds to meet with Mr. Luke to try to come up with final language for the ordinance amendments. “None of us may like it,” Mr. Gooch said. “If it comes up for public hearing and no one likes it, they you can vote it down,” Mr. Reynolds replied. In other business, the council: • directed that a letter be sent to Dr. Werner Krebser requesting the return of two benches which were removed from in front of the Post Office. “They were donated to the town,” Council member Evelyn Willis pointed out, “and if the kids who hang out at the corner had taken them they would be in jail ... if Dr. Krebser was not happy with them being there he could have asked us to move them." • authorized the expenditure of up to $400 for greenery to decorate the town for. its annual Colonial Christmas celebration, which will be held Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 2 and 3. • approved an experimental voluntary collection of recyclable materials for town residents by “Sleepy” Fincham, who collects the town’s trash each month. The coun0 cil directed that the effort be coordinated with the county’s recycling official, Nina Stame: • gave tentative approval to the LOMP Joint Venture’s subdivision of the Stuart property on Blue Ridge Ave. ’ The Planning Commission will consider final approval of the subdivision plat at its meeting Nov. 28. The subdivision will then go before the council for final approval, probably at the December meeting. Rappahannock’s gifted and talented program at an educational conference; teacher Brion Patterson had an article published in the October issue of “The Physics Teacher;” sixth-grade computer math lab teacher Lucy Ann Maeyer had received an “educational excellence” award, and many bus drivers had completed a class in CPR. The board also saw a presentation by eighth-grade technology students on their projects on communications. Michael Grimsley showed his model of a laser; A1 Kellert showed his communication satellite model; Philip Smiley had a model ot the bkylab to present and Joey Dunagen showed his model of the Power Tower, a satellite that was never deployed. Dr. Gangel demonstrated “HyperBook,” a computerized textbook in college biology that had been donated to the school system by Potomac Edison. Only a small portion of the textbook has been wTitten, but with that portion it is possible to read text, hear scientific terms pronounced and view animated illustrations of molecules passing through cell membranes. Dr. Gangel said the program and computer to use it had been donated, not so much to teach cellular biology, but to allow Rappahannock’s teachers to use it and the HyperCard program to develop their own computerized animated lessons. In other action the School Board: • approved the student parking lot fees worked out as a compromise between student representatives and the school administration. The fee will be $12 this year and will increase $2 per year, to $20 in 1993-94. • appointed Ron Vickers 8thgrade boys' basketball coach; and S< :t Mellott, head track coach. x • approved a schedule for developing next year’s budget. The Dec. 12 School Board meeting will provide a time for employees and the public to make suggestions. The budget will be presented to the School Board at a work session March 0, and public response will be accepted at the March 13 regular meeting. • learned that the elementary school breakfast program has been growing and is now self-supporting. It will be continued. • learned that a school bus will make a loop through the Rappahannock Lakes subdivision on a trial basis. This was in response to a request from the homeowners association. Dr. Gangel explained that the purpose of the trial is not to provide door-to-door pick up in the subdivision, but to see if the route Wouldn’t be safer than turning the bus around on the public road.

Smet Continued from page 1 He said there was also a provision for “architectural review” by the developers, Mr. and Mrs. Smet. ‘This type of development is better than most,” he said. He said that the proposal would conform with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, since it would foster development around the village of Amissville while also encouraging agriculture, because the lots would be large enough for keeping horses and other “small-scale agricultural activities.” He said it would not place any demands for extra services on the county. Commissioner John Clark Jr., who represents. Hampton District, asked Mr. Reynolds about “covenant number 16, which says the restrictions can be modified by a majority of the lot owners.” Mr. bmet said that the nrst covenant against further subdivision would be excluded from that provision and that he also wants to exclude the second, which states that only one house may be built on a lot. County Administrator John McCarthy said that if the covenants were attached as a proffer, he wanted the document also to state that the Board of Supervisors is not responsible for enforcing the restrictions. George Wesselhoft, one of the Smets’ neighbors, said, “I concur with the large lot development.” Board of Supervisors’ representative to the Planning Commission, Mike Massie, said, “People misunderstood what they read in the Rappahannock News. We wanted to keep part in two-acre lots and the rest in permanent open space.” “They’re entitled to the same number of lots as they’re asking for,” Mr. Reynolds said. “This is not an increase in the number of lots, but a redefinition of them.” He maintained that about 10 acres was zoned R-2. That would allow five houses, he said. Another four lots could be created on the 110 acres in Agricultural zoning, and a tenth lot had already been split off some years before. Noting that he had read in the paper that Jack on District Planner David Fannon had said he didn’t have any problem with the proposal, Supervisor Ellis Bingham, who also represents the district, told the commissioners, “David, this is one time I agree with you.” “I’ve changed my mind since then, Colonel,” Mr. Fannon said. “I think we’re hr opposition again.” “I’m more comfortable with that,” Col. Bingham said. “This is within the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan. I’d hate to see you, as a recommending group to the Board of r Supervisors, sit down and dictate how a man has to develop his land.” Frances Simones, an Amissville resident, said, “I fully agree with what Mr. Smet has proposed. He took all his material to each person who signed the petition. Two-acre lots would not bring in the type of people these lots would bring in.” George Chamberlin said he had lived on an adjoining property for 10 years. “This development is a logical compromise to what you originally proposed,” he said. “It’s against your best interests to go against the people of Amiss ville. I’m against two-acre zoning on Route 642.” He said he was so opposed' to letting that sort of development occur along the road, that he had refused to split off a two-acre parcel for his son. “You should listen carefully to the citizens of Amissville.” Donald Bird, who also ^borders Mr. Smet’s property said, “I’d prefer to see the land stay open, but when I look at other communities, 1 m very concerned about what might happen to Mr. Smet’s property. What he’s proposing is right for that property at this time.” Henry Digges said, “You’re in a unique situation as a planning board. You could have been faced with a two-acre subdivision. Let him go with his plan as submitted.” When no one else wanted to speak for the proposal, Chairman Allen Stokes asked for those who wished to speak in opposition. Phil Irwin said he was speaking for himself. “With all the planning, we’ve come down to where we can create 10 new' parcels with the stroke of a pen,” he said. “The counsellor says it would demand no additional public services. Each house would have 2.2 children. That would be 22 children, and it would tilt the scale when we would need a newr school. It does not comply with the plan. I’m not happy with a 10-acre subdivision. It would create a dramatic impact on the economy of Rappahannock County,” Mr. Irwin said. No one else in the audience spoke in opposition to the plan, but one woman said, “I have a question. I would like to kn w why Mr. Fannon changed his mind.” “There are almost 90 lots available around Amissville now,” Mr. Fannon said. Before the hearing started Mr. McCarthy had given the planners a list of undeveloped land in the Amissville area, zoned R-2 or RR. Mr. McCarthy explained that not all of the 87 potential new' lots shown on his list would necessarily be developable, due to poor soils, topography or other factors. “There would be no advantage for the local people of Rappahannock County,” Mr. Fannon continued. “When wre devised the rezoning, we rezoned a lot of land, some on Mr. Smet’s property. There is enough R2 and R-5 to satisfy the needs of the WE AT EILEEN M.

This would just encourage 10 more people to come in here. I don’t think he has 10 acres in R-2 on Route 642,” he concluded. “If a person can’t buy a two-acre or five-acre lot around the village, where can he buy it?” Mr. Massie asked. “Aren’t you de facto creating a new class of zoning?” Ms. Pierce asked. “I’d like to make one more comment," Mr. Massie said. “There seems to be a feeling in this county that the type of people who will buy two-acre lots are not as good as people who will buy 10-acre lots. That bothers me.” “We delineated five-acre parcels, and we delineated two-acre parcels,” Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser said. “That land was in Agriculture. We worked on a comprehensive plan to provide housing for the young people who live here. This plan is excluding the young people in the county.” “And then the owner of the land next to it can come in with 70 acres, and no judge in the land would sustain us if we turned it down,” Dr. Krebser said. “I’m not meaning to choose sides, but simple contiguousness is not an argument for rezoning,” Mr. McCarthy said. “If you’re turning it down because it is not in the village district, that is something else.” “It doesn’t seem to me that this thing is going to benefit the people of Rappahannock,” Mr. Fannon said. “It seems like there are two groups of citizens in Amissville,” Mr. Clark said. “The last time the citizens of Amissville showed up, it was the other group. They couldn’t get enough two-acre lots. My biggest concern is where does it stop? How do you turn down the next person who wants 10-acre zoning? “Col. Bingham,” Mr. Clark said, “you are always harping on the ‘common man.’ ... On the surface this looks great — 10 houses and not the kind of people who put a burden on the schools or county because of the cost of the lots and houses.” "I don’t know how you define the ‘common man,’ nor do I know how you define ‘in and around the village of Amissville,”' Col. Bingham replied. “I think I am the ‘common man.’ I don’t think you have a right to tell him what he should do or not do. His plan is in the spirit of the Comprehensive Plan you passed, and it exceeds all expectations.” On the motion to recommend denial, Mr. Fannon, Dr. Krebser, Mr. Clark and Ms. Pierce voted “aye.” Mr. Massie and Mr. Stokes abstained. Mr. Massie explained his abstention on the grounds that he will vote on the proposal as a supervisor. Mr. Stokes offered no reason for his abstention.

Frugal festivity Deck the halls with piles of pinecones By Jean Kelly You say you want your home to look absolutely festive for the upcoming holidays, but your poor budget is stretched to the limit? Well, never fear — Freida Frugal is here! Here are a few of friend Freida's frugal tips for holiday decorating: • Pinecones of varied sizes and shapes are all over Northern Virginia. Run out and gather yourself a big bunch. At home, shake them out in the backyard to get out as much of the dirt and leaves as you can, and then soak them for an hour or two in a sink full of warm water and a cup of household bleach. Let them dry thoroughly on paper towels. This will take a couple of days at least because the pinecones will close up temporarily. When the clean cones open, you're ready to create any number of easy decorative wonders. HOLIDAY MAGIC... TYeat yourself to a dazzling display of decorated trees and wreaths and extra special gift ideas from lardway comments, see meiiKe trees by Mr. Christmas, Puleo, Barcana - collectibles by June McKenna & Precious Moments and the areas largest selection of German nutcrackers, smokers & pyramids ► Virginia Village II V 38 Catoctin Circle, S E. 1 Leesburg, VA 22075 ^ (703) 777-7665 m ► Festival At Bull Run ) 10640 Sudley Manor Drive Manassas, VA 22110 (703) 368-2334 ► Fairfax Centre * 11213 Lee Highway ^ Fairfax, VA 22030 (703) 591-7665 ” Gaithersburg “ PotORKK Mills pool£patio ► O/VLLERT ^ cTColiday Shops • Make a beautiful pinecone tree by twisting a piece of lightweight wire (it comes in spools just like thread at craft or hardware stores) around each pinecone and sticking them into a wire-mesh cone or styrofoam cone. All by itself the pinecone tree is striking, but you can add additional touches if you wish. You might want to spray the pinecones silver or gold before you put them on the cone. You could add tiny red or green • Christmas balls (each attached with wire like the pinecones) or even wind a string of tiny, clear Christmas lights around the tree. You could place fresh greens and holly around the base of the tree, or put a big, pretty bow around it. • More pinecone ideas: You d be amazed at how much small pinecones look like roses when they are sprayed pink, rose or red. They look really lovely in a tiny basket in the powder room or in a big basket on the hearth. Add some potpourri, a bow on the basket, and you've got a decorator piece or even a gift. Get out your glue guo (if you want the process to go faster than attaching individual wire to the pinecones) and stick pinecones of different varieties onto a circular form (foam, wire-mesh, straw, plywood, etc.) It's easy — you can do it in one evening while you re talking on the phone or watching television. You'll end up with a beautiful pinecone wreath which would cost a very pretty penny. Add bows, Christmas balls, dried flowers, cinnamon sticks, wrapped hard candy — whatever your little heart desires. Spray your completed wreath with a clear preservative, and it will last for years. • Make an unusual, pretty wreath by attaching colorful pieces of individually wrapped hard candy to a foam wreath form with straight pins.

Older kids can make these wreaths to decorate their own rooms, or to give as inexpensive gifts to friends, neighbors or teachers. • Buy a bunch of the biggest, most perfect red apples with stems you can find. Pour clear, liquid floor wax into a throwaway container and dip each apple into the wax. Let the excess wax drip back into the container, and then hang the apples carefully by their stems on the clothesline to dry. If you don't have a clothesline, place the apples on a piece of wax paper, but be very careful when you remove them. Stick toothpicks at a slight upward angle into a foam cone form in a tree shape. Starting at the bottom of the cone, secure the apples on the toothpick. They should just touch one another. Build the apples up the cone in a tree shape, and place one on top. Your apple tree will last for three or four weeks. You can stick tiny sprigs of hollyleaves or greens between the apples if you wish. If you don't want to make a whole apple tree, you might want to wax just a few apples to add to your holiday centerpiece. • Sometimes the simplest decorations are the most elegant. Place a large, fragrant candle inside a hurricane lamp on a table, coffeetable. or mantle. Arrange fresh greens on either side, add a pinecone or two, and you've got a beautiful centerpiece or arrangement. • Use candles all around your home during the holidays. They don't cost much and their wonderful aroma and glow adds warmth and a welcoming feel to any home. But be cautious; don't ever leave candles unattended; • Make a great swag for your front door in about 10 minutes with a couple of 2-feet long (approximated evergreen branches. Place the : branches end to end with the thickest part of the branches in the center. Join them at that point with heavy wire looping it around the branches. Attach a huge red bow made from 3-inch weatherproof ribbon, and hang the swag on a nail on your front door. You can also make these swags in smaller versions for mailboxes, lampposts, and fences. Indoor versions look beautiful with velvet bows. If you don't have an evergreen which could stand a bit of pruning, don't dash off to hack away at the neighbor s. Nearly all Christmas tree lots sell the branches they trim from trees for a nominal price, or you can use your own if you have a live tree • Tie a piece of ribbon around a few sticks of cinnamon, and place them around the house. Always remember to snip each end of the ribbons in a V-shape. This little touch makes ribbons used in decorating and on gift packages look more festive. ,0 Goi in Praise God ^ This Season for the % O Gift of Salvation ^ Thinking of gifts for the Family?

Holiday plants require special care to thrive By Paul L. Smeal and Sharon Nolan Many plants look lovely as centerpieces or festive accents during the Christmas season. Their beauty fades quickly, however, unless they receive special care. The poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima). a native of Mexico, is the traditional and most popular Christmas plant. Red-flowered varieties are most popular, but white, pink and semi-double varieties are available. The white variety is attractive by itself or in combination with red plants. The showy, colored structures often called flowers are actually bracts. The flower is the yellow structure found in the center of each whorl of bracts. Poinsettias are sensitive plants that require proper care. Drafts, too cool or too warm temperatures, sudden temperature changes, dry atmosphere, improper watering and dim light can cause loss of leaves and withering of bracts. To care for poinsettias in the home, you should strive for a uniform day termperature from 70 to 75 degrees F, and always reduce the thermostat setting to about 60 degrees F at night. Place the plant in bright light (but not direct sun) and where the air is not too dry. If placed in a window, the plant should be removed at night if there is danger of chilling. Soil mixture should be maintained at moderate and uniform levels, neither too wet nor too dry. The average length of poinsettia life in the home is two to three weeks. A poinsettia responds to daylength. and is known as a short-day (or long-night) plant. Be sure it gets no light from sundown to sunup. Even very short periods of light at night may be enough to prevent or interfere with flowering. If the plant is to be grown in a room that is lighted nightly, cover it at dusk with a heavy paper bag, a piece of opaque black cloth or other light-tight cover, or put it in a dark closet. Remove the covering from the plant, or the plant from the closet, at about 8 each morning. The poinsettia requires 14 hours of complete darkness from Oct. 10 until color shows, usually around Thanksgiving. AZALEAS — All azalea varieties sold by florists are handled alike in the home. The plant should be kept in a cool spot while in flower, especially at night. A warm, dry atmosphere will make the azalea bloom quickly and the blossoms will last only a short time. Remove the flowers as soon as they have faded and keep the plant in a cool, sunny location. After the danger of frost, the plant can be placed outs|de. CYCLAMEN — Cyclamen has attractive flowers and foliage’and is one of the most beautiful plants for Christmas and early winter holidays. It is usually available with several flowers and many buds in all stages of development. Cool temperatures (50 degrees F at night) and light are essential to get an extended color display. The leaves will turn yellow and the buds die if the night temperature is too warm. Also, if the light is poor, the leaves will die back quickly. CHRISTMAS BEGONIA — Christmas begonia (Begonia socotrana) will continue blooming for weeks if purchased when full of buds and given the proper care. Place the plant where it will get bright light, and try to keep it cool at night (55 degrees to 60 degrees F). Proper watering will give longer and better flowering. CHRISTMAS PEPPER — Christmas pepper (Capsicum frutescens) is quite decorative and fits well into the holiday color scheme. Place the plant where it will receive good light and cool temperatures. This annual is sold when in full fruit, and should be discarded when no longer attractive. Loss of leaves and fruit is often the result of insufficient watering. JERUSALEM CHERRY — Jerusalem cherry (Solanium pseudocapsicum clevelandi) is a colorful holiday plant covered with small, round, brilliant-red fruit. Give it bright light and keep it at a cool night temperature (45 to 50 degrees) for extended life. Keep the soil moist. KALANCHOE —The Kalanchoe is a succulent u. i \ bright orange or red flowers. Give it full sun or very bright light, and water if when all the soil is almost dry. This plant blooms agatin most readily when given a long-night treatment as you would give a Christmas cactus. Paul L. Smeal is an Extension horticulturist in Nurseryr Production at Virginia Tech. Sharon Nolan is an extension agent.

Booklet describes state tree farms If you’re dreaming of an oldfashioned Christmas, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has published a free Christmas tree guide that cam help your dreams come true. The 1989 Virginia Christmas Tree Guide features 87 Christmas tree farms where you may choose and cut your own tree, or purchase a live tree. Virginia Christmas tree growers offer a wide selection of trees including such varieties as White Pine. Scotch Pine. Douglas Fir. Fraser Fir, Norway Spruce and Blue Spruce. Tree sizes range from 3 to 12 feet. This year, the Virginia Christmas tree industry has become a participant in the Virginia's Finest trademark program. Trees with the Virginia's Finest trademark meet the industry's highest standards of quality. In addition to Christmas trees, some of the farms also offer other trimmings that go along with an oldfashioned Christmas such as hay rides, special wreaths, and “Santa" cottages featuring ornaments and other seasoned favorites. "For many families, cutting their own tree is a Christmas tradition. More and more families are making it part of their Christmas tradition “after finding out how much fun it is to pick out a tree on a Christmas tree farm," notes Catherine T. Belcher, who compiles the guides for the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. "Many of the tree farms are located near large urban centers such as Washington, D.C., and Richmond, where families may not have access to trees on their own property."

Images of Christmas Record holiday happenings By Jackie Fitzpatrick Weeks and even months are spent preparing for the holidays, which often pass so quickly they become a blur.. But thanks to still and video photography, the images can be viewed again and memories preserv ed for years to come. Photos can be turned into holiday cards, tree ornaments, framed gifts and historical family Albums. Today, with the continued development of both sophisticated and simple-to-use camera equipment, first-timers, amateurs and professionals alike can be assured of good photos. The key to taking good photos is matching the type of camera to your needs as a photographer. Think of a camera like a pair of shoes. Above all. you want to be comfortable with it. If it fits your purposes — an instant camera for those who want instant developing, a 35-millimeter with a wide-angle lens to capture a large gathering — then it's the camera for you. A camera not only is a great gift idea for the holiday season but also has become a needed piece of equipment to get through the season. Shopping for a camera is no easy task these days, with hundreds of still and video cameras filling.store shelves. Choices can be mindboggling. T'l_IT 1_i_• I I_ All 1 lit L,1V^11VJIUC i 1U1I1C Advisor (Andrews and McMeel), author Howard Blumenthal advises talking to as many people as you can before even setting foot in a store. Check out friends' cameras, talk with neighbors and people in the know, and from there you can at least whittle away at some of the choices and start out a more aware consumer. Many families opt for a couple of different choices — having a Polaroid for instant shots and a 35millimeter camera as well. The 35millimeter cameras are no longer as daunting as they once were. As Blumenthal notes: "Today, just about every camera on the market is computerized, making goof-proof photography a way of life, even for the most inexperienced amateur photographers." At one time some expertise was involved in using the 35-millimeter, but today most camera firms offer point-and-shoot models that automatically adjust the lens opening, the shutter speed, the focus and loading andxewinding of film. These compact automatic cameras, at the same time, are offering more options — like a power zoom lens and more sophisticated autofocusing. The latest development is the throw-away camera. Although „. environmentalists are denouncing its plastic parts, the camera is gaining in the market for convenience-minded folks. The photographer shoots a roll of film and then drops it off. camera and all. to the developer, who then disposes of it. Experts say the throw-aways take decent color shots. Such cameras are perfect when you've forgotten to pack your camera or for weekend jaunts where you don't want to lug the entire camera bag. Costs run from $9 to $14. Of course, a camera in hand doesn t guarantee a roll of perfect shots. Some tips from professionals can help you capture just the photos you're looking for. from stocking stuffing to toasting the New Year. • Install fresh batteries — better to be safe than sorry. Don't forget to do the same with the flash. • Clean the lens before you start shooting. • Have plenty of film on hand. Buy a throw-away camera, too. just in case. • Fill the frame of the picture. Blumenthal suggests thinking of the photo as a story. Fill the image area of the camera with your maun character or characters. • Try the shot again and again. Don't be afraid to take a lot of pictures to get the one you ultimately want. • When taking people shots, make their eyes the centred focus of the photo. More and more people are buying video cameras to record any number of events, including holiday happenings. Video cameras are available in VHS, Beta and 8millimeter formats and can be as small as a purse or as large as the units professionals tote around. The best bet is to visit a store and carry' various cameras around, discussing which has the options you want in a size you can handle. Jim Meigs, editorial director of Video Review, recommends that first-time buyers opt for easy-to-operate machines and purchase a name brand that has a good reputation for follow-up service.
