Washington's Colonial Christmas celebrates town's heritage, history With streets laid out exactly as surveyed by 17-year-old George Washington in 1749, Washington is still a tranquil village today, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Though its population hardly exceeds that of 200 years ago, Washington is now a quiet blend of longtime residents and artists and craftpersons who have fled the busyness of the city for the ease and charm of rural life. Together theycelebrate the Christmas holidays by reenacting colonial traditions. The rich tradition and quaint charm of historic Washington, Va., come to life on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 2 and 3, with candlelight tours, open houses at the shops and bed-and-breakfasts, colonial dancing and entertainment at the Town Hall, a variety of craft demonstrations and colonial meals both days §t the local restaurants. First-person “character” tours and historic tours of the art and ar chitecture of the town will take visitors through the streets laid out by George himself in 1749. Beginning at noon each day, the tours will leave every hour, concluding with candlelit tours through the gaily decorated streets at night. Tours will highlight a tastefully restored log home, contrasted with a new building constructed from logs salvaged from an old barn, the impressive Courthouse complex and the inviting bed-andbreakfasts. Along the town’s streets, strolling carollers will bring back fond memories of country Christmases -past. Throughout the village prominent professional crafters will demostrate their art. Demonstrations will include a variety of quilting techniques, silver and gold smithing, gold guilding, basket making, gemology, gingerbread ornaments, decorative painting by an American folk artist, creations from local plants and dyes and restoration and repro duction of traditional lighting, as well as an “Art for Gifts” exhibit at Middle Street Gallery. Numerous activities for the younger set will include a children’s Christmas bazaar and gift-making program, photos with Santa and a Christmas puppet show at the Child Care and Learning Center. Guests at the village will be treated to refreshments at many stops around tow-n, but a special treaLof the celebration will be colonial meals served at local restaurants. Come sample the delectible tastes of peanut soup, Cornish game hens, traditional salt-cured and glazed ham, chicken and dumplings, Sally Lund bread and cornbread, Brunswick stew' and a variety of traditional desserts, including apple, pumpkin, and pecan pie. A highlight of the celebration will be live entertainment.

Mr. McCarthy listed $489,000 for capital improvements for budget year 1991, which starts next July 1. Of that total, $100,000 is allocated toward the purchase of Washington’s Town Hall, $25,000 will be used to replace the roof over the high school auditorium and cafeteria, $55,000 is to purchase two new diesel school buses, $26,000 is to purchase two new vehicles for the Sheriff’s Department and $150,000 is pledged toward work on developing the next cell for trash burial at the landfill. Elsewhere in the county, $7,500 is proposed to begin a lease-purchase of computer equipment and software to automate the records and billing at the Commissioner of Revenue’s and Treasurer's offices, $7,500 is for dog runs at the animal shelter, $17,500 is for repairs to the Clerk’s office, and $100,000 is for the new library. Mr, McCarthy explained that while some of the start-up expenses for the landfill will not have to be repeated, there will be continued expenses for excavating new landfill “cell” space, for lining those cells, for drainage pipes to direct runoff to the runoff pond and leachate to the leachate collection pond and for a road system so the new areas could be used. • On repairs to the Clerk’s office. Mr. McCarthy said $17,500 was an estimate of what it might cost to excavate around the basement wall where water is seeping into the basement, repair the damage and perhaps do “some shoring up.” County Clerk Diane Bruce wrote to Mr. McCarthy last month to report that water seepage is causing damage to old county records stored in the basement. In addition to repairs to the building she had recommended filters for the windows and fluorescent lights to filter out ultraviolet light, which is harmful to the records, and new storage shelves and boxes so the materials could be stored unfolded and flat. Ms. Bruce also recommended that the county get in- • volved in microfilming the materials so that the actual records could be stored in Richmond while the microfilm would be kept in the county. As for the $100,900 request for the library, Mr. McCarthy explained it wras received from Library Board Chairman William Young on the day of the October Planning Commission meeting. Mr. McCarthy said his understanding is that it will be used to complete the multipurpose room. “I thought they were going to do it all,” Wakefield representative Werner Krebser said. “They want another $100,000 for a worse-case scenario,” Jackson District representative David Fannon said. Dr. Krebser said he understood the Library Board was scaling down the size of the new library. See CIP, p. 14 Scotts told pond must go Variance request denied, but Health Dept, investigation finds no septic problems By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals denied James and Edna Scott’s request for a variance for the location of a pond on their property at Chester Gap. The members split on the decision 2-1, with Chairman Lee Bird and Butch Zindel voting to deny the variance and Sid Gottleib voting for it. Mr. Scott had built the pond on his .84acre property in the summer of 1988. The zoning ordinance requires that ponds be located 100 feet from all property lines unless written permission is given by the neighbors. Nothing happened until this past spring, when next-door neighbors Robert and Lucy Rutherford complained to County Administrator John McCarthy. They complained about apparent zoning violation, but also claimed that the pond contained stagnant wa ter, smelled bad, was an eyesore and a hazard to their grandchild. Mr. McCarthy w'rote to the Scotts, telling them that they should remove the pond, which had been built in violation of the zoning ordinance. When the pond had not been taken out by the end of summer, the matter was put on the agenda of the Board of Supervisors in September. At the supervisors’ meeting the Scotts appeared and said that they had Mr. Rutherford’s verbal permission for the pond at the time they put it in, and the board suggested that they apply to the BZA for a variance. The BZA first took up the matter at its October meeting. At that meeting the Scotts testified that Mr. Rutherford had agreed to the location of the pond, and had even sugSee POND, p. 14 Road standards questioned Former planner warns of subdivision loopholes By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Planning Commission again debated what road standards to require of subdividers at its meeting Nov. 15. Last month they agreed that the proposed zoning amendments will specify that Type-Three roads will be allowed only in family subdivisions. These roads must have a 50-foot wide deeded right of way, but no surface treatment is specified for them. That left the commissioners considering the definitions and requirements for TypeTwo and Type-One roads. Type-One roads are those that meet all the requirements to be taken into the state road system. They must have a 20-foot wide hard-surface treatment over gravel; there are other requirements having to do with ditching along the sides. Type-Two roads are the same, except that no hard surface treatment is required. At the October meeting the planners agreed that Type-One roads would be required for all subdivisions with five or more lots. Type-Two roads would only be allowed in subdivisions with fewer than five lots. These requirements were sent to the Board of Supervisors as amendments to the zoning and subdivision ordinances to be acted on by the supervisors at their November meeting. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said that since the amendments had been advertised at seven, rather than five, as the number of lots that would require Type-One roads, the amendments had been changed in a way that made them more restrictive. Thus, Mr. Luke advised, the amendments should be readvertised before the supervisors can adopt them. So the board returned the amendments to the planners. Before the planners could act again on See ROADS, p. 14 The Panthers' Ieader Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE SOLE RETURNING STARTER from last year’s championship team, the Panthers’ co-captain Julian Groves, is expected to be a leader on the young team.

Wilder's margin 6,854; GOP requests recount By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer The Virginia Board of Elections put its official seal on the Nov. 7 election results Monday, certifying Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder as the next governor of Virginia and clearing the way for a state-financed vote recount. Votes tallied by the board show Democrat Wilder defeating Republican J. Marshall Coleman by 6,854 votes. The margin of difference, just .38 percent of the 1.78 million Virginians that made their selection on election day, permits Coleman to request an election recount at the state’s expense. Republican officials said Monday that Coleman planned to petition for an official recount, an option Coleman said he considers his responsibility to utilize. “Ultimately, the election must turn on what’s best for Virginia,” said Coleman in a statement released after the official results were announced. “And the interests of the Commonwealth would not be wellserved if the next governor were under a cloud of doubt about the validity of the election.” Members of the Republican party have strongly urged him to seek a recount, added Coleman. “Most important, every Virginia voter deserves to know that his or her vote was counted and counted accurately.” Wilder, too, responded to the results in a press statement, saying, “I want to take this opportunity to once again thank the people of Virginia for this high honor.” A recount, said GOP officials, is likely to disclose any faulty voting machines or erroneous recording by election judges that would not be apparent in the official totals. “It’s not sour grapes. It’s state law,” said Michael Salster, communication director for the Republican Party of Virginia, responding to those accusing Coleman of being a sore loser. Procedures for a recount will be established by a three-judge panel headed by chief judge of the Richmond Circuit Court, Melvin R. Hughes Jr. The other two judges will be selected by the chief justice of the Virginia Supreme Court. While the Democratic Party of .Virginia did not dispute Coleman’s call for a recount, members were irate over the additional step taken by the GOPs. The Republican Party of Virginia filed a petition, Monday Nov. 27, to contest the election on the basis of fraud or other irregularities. State law provides for a candidate to request a recount, and “Marshall Coleman has the right to do that,” said Lawrence H. Framme III, chairman of the Democratic Party of Virginia. However, he said, a contest is “far different” and “challenges the basic integrity of the Virginia election process. ” Though the appropriateness of an election contest will not be known until after a recount, said Republican officials, state law required that a petition for contest be filed by Nov. 27. GOPs declined to relate any specific examples of election mishandlings until after the recount is complete. “We are investigating the various reports of irregularities, and we may have more to say about them in the future,” said William H. Hurd, Republican state treasurer. “We do not think any useful purpose would be served by questioning the integrity of the election based on rumors and reports that may or may not have substance.” However, Michael Salster, GOP communications director indicated that the party could substantiate itd their claim if necessary. “We have sufficient evidence to believe there were irregularities.” Framme contends that the move for a contest has solely political motivation and is merely an attempt by the Republicans to draw attention from the GOP’s tax delinquency problem. The Republicans announced last Friday, Nov. 24 that a bookkeeper had failed to pay nearly a quarter of a million dollars in federal employee withholding taxes, including penalties and interest over more than a year. In a letter to party officials last week which acknowledged the tax problems, state GOP Chairman Donald Huffman said the state committee had voted in August to keep the matter secret until after the election to avoid tainting the Republican candidates for state office. Salster said the contest could result in entire precincts being wiped out as invalid and possibly a new election. Framme insisted the possibility of a new election is zero since, he said, there were not significant irregularities in the election process.

Professional and amateur record books are strewn with the statistical trails of teams which plummeted from the championship to the basement in one short season. So Coach Gary Leake may be forgiven for his careful predictions about the Rappahannock Panthers’ upcoming basketball season. Interviewed before the Panthers’ final preseason practice Monday, Coach Leake said he is “cautiously optimistic” about the team’s chances this season in the Bull Run District. With only one starter and three lettermen returning from last year’s district champion team, Coach Leake said “we’ve got a different kind of year coming up.” Julian Groves, a senior and team co-captain, will lead the Panthers this season. “Every team is different,” Coach Leake said, and every year brings a new set of abilities and personalities. “It adds a new challenge. Before tryouts I didn’t know what to expect.” He admitted to some real insecurities as he pondered the upcoming season. “I thought, how can we replace Eric Dunn’s 22 points each game, and Anthony Porter’s average of 14 rebounds, or the consistency of Doug Smith and Danny Ellis?” His returning lettermen, he added, had contributed just 15 points and 15 rebounds during last year’s effort. The coach said the first day of tryouts quickly gave him a taste of his young team’s enthusiasm. That first day, practice was scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. “I got there at five minutes ’til, and I was the last one there. The sidewalk outside the gym was filled with kids. They yelled, ‘Hey coach, where ya been?’ ” Coach Leake remembered, smiling. And he admitted that, although last year’s team featured a strong starting five, the team lacked depth off the bench. That hurt the Panthers late in the game, Coach Leake explained, because his starters didn’t get a chance for adequate rest.“This year, I’ll be much more comfortable with playing 10, 12 or 15 people each game.” And the nearly clean break from last year’s team has also created a new spirit for this year's squad. “They are a whole new team. They want to be different, and that’s good. But they want nothing less than to return to the championship.” With only one returning starter, he added, most of the team has not had a lot of playing time. “Eighty percent watched, and only 20 percent played.” This year, the team set its goal early when it was discovered that the entire regional tournament will be played at U.Va.’s University Hall. “That’s our goal, to play in University Hall,” the coach said. That means either capturing the district title again, winning the district tournament or finishing in the top-two during the regular season. Of his young team, which features only five seniors, nine juniors and one sophomore. Coach Leake predicts their enthusiasm will be their strongest asset this year. “It has carried through in their practices with their work habits. There’s no walking at practice at all — it's just 100 percent constant hustle. ” He cited tfh£ team’s quickness, as well as the aforementioned depth in all positions, as additi. - nal strong points for the squad. Of the lack of experience, Coach Leake acL mitted that his enthusiasm and expectations are unusual. “There’s not another team in the district set up like this. Traditionally they would be expected to lack skills — but I think that this team will be an exception. I was impressed with their progress during the offseason.” Looking at possible weak spots, Coach Leake pinpointed rebounding. The players can get into position, “they hustle to the spot, but they’re not making the physical contact ... the fundamental is not sharp yet — it’s not an instinct yet.” As to the importance of rebounding, the coach pointed to last year’s stats. “We won 19 games and outrebounded our opponent in each of those games. We lost six games, and in four of those we were outrebounded.” The team is working on those fundamentals every day, he added. The two scrimmages will be videotaped so that problems can be reviewed and corrected early in the season. Coach Leake offered the following thumbnail sketches of the 1989-90 Panthers: Julian Groves: The sole returning starter from last year’s team, the six-foot senior is the team’s co-captain this year. Last year he averaged eight points and five assists each game, so Coach Leake is looking for his continued contribution ■ the team’s offensive effort. The guard is the team’s all-around best player, extremely quick, a good passer and has a great shot selection. Benji Roy: Also returning from last year’s team, Benji is the team’s co-captain this year. A six-foot senior, he’s the best athlete on the team. Coach Leake called his defensive efforts “outstanding,” and praised his jump shot and rebounding ability. Bill Atkins: One of the team’s “three Smurfs” (the other two follow), this 5-foot-8-inch senior provides the team’s court leadership. “He runs the team’s offense the best, he’s poised and never cracks under pressure.” Atkins can take control of any situation, the coach added. Paul Hitt: A perfect complement to Julian Groves, Hitt is the team’s best outside shooter. His ball handling and dribbling have greatly improved since his junior varsity season. As a 5foot-9-inch junior, Hitt presents the team’s threepoint threat. Jason Butler: Another 5-foot-9-inch junior, Butler is the team’s most improved member from last season. Coach Leake praised his aggressive play, a threat to penetrate to the basket at any time. He is a good ball handler and passer, and also a potent three-point shooter. James Roy: As a 6-foot-2-inch, 170-pound sophoi lore, James is fighting for a starting position as a forward, Coach Leake said. As a strong inside player, his best asset is his equal ability to go to the left or to the right. “He’s worked hard on the parts of the game that don’t matter to most, training himself to be the complete player.” Bobby Jenkins: The second biggest man on the team, this 6-foot-5-inch, 160-pound junior has surprising hustle for a big man. He has great jumping ability and an excellent shot selection. Dearl Cloud: This 6-foot-7-inch junior is the tallest player in the district this season. He has an excellent baseline jump shot, and his defensive capabilities, strong zone defense and shot block-1 ing threat contributes to the team’s backcourt play. Francisco Vincente: A senior exchange student from Spain, Francisco is the first foreign stu- >. dent to play for the Panthers. At 6 feet 3 inches" and 190 pounds, “he’s a good basketball player and definitely a welcome addition.” A strong rebounder, Vincente also has excellent moves inside. With some experience in the type of basketball played in this area, Coach Leake expects him to be a major contributor. Kenneth Baldwin: This 6-foot-l-inch junior is recovering from a ruptured disk in his back and “is just beginning to show the skills that earned him the JV’s MVP award last year.” His recovery has been a slow process, but he shows improvement each day, Coach Leake said. With continued hard work, the coach expects big things from Kenneth. Toby Waterbury: One of four juniors alternating in the small forward position, Toby runs the court well, penetrates well and has good moves to the basket. Steven Lillard: A walk-on playing his first year of basketball, Steven is a good listener who is willing to learn. “He should see some quality time,” the coach said. Tony Atkins: “The most all-out player I’ve ever coached, he’s earned the nickname ‘Wild Thang,’ ” Coach Leake said. “He plays 10 notches higher than anyone else — a real hustler.” Jack Pullen: The last of the four small forwards, Jack is a constant threat inside the paint. He has worked hard and shows improvement on his inside play and his rebounding. Keith Tobin: A senior returnee from last year’s team, Keith saw action in 12 games last season. “His heart is in athletics, and he brings leadership as well. He’s a great person to have on the team, one who has worked hard to get playing time.” Tremayne Allsberry: Another senior who made the team as a walk-on, his strength is his inside game. “He will see more playing time as he learns more about the total game,” Coach Leake predicted. Of his opponents, Coach Leake predicted that Central will present the toughest competition. Strasburg and Page County are also fielding strong teams this season, he added. As for the Panthers, Coach Leake concluded, “I’m happy with them. They’re a great bunch of kids, who do what they’re asked and get along well together. We have the potential to be an outstanding team. It will come down to how much they really want to win. “If results are any indication of the amount of effort put forth during practice, they will achieve what they set out to achieve.” For the Panthers fans, that could mean a trip to University Hall next March. The Panthers scrimmage against Shenandoah Valley Academy on Thursday, Nov. 30 at RCHS. The games, both varsity and JV, begin at 4 p.m. The season opener is next Wednesday, Dec. 6 at RCHS against Luray. Game time is 6 p. m. for JV, and 7:30 for the varsity contest.

On Monday, they will hear a request from Emiel and Lynda Smet for a rezoning of their property in Amissville. The Smets plan to subdivide their 120-acre parcel, and would like the property rezoned from Agricultural to Rural Residential. The result would be a current minimum 25-acre lot size reduced to five acres. In hopes of making the request more appealing, the Smets have offered limitations on the subdivision, including a minimum lot size of 10 acres, a minimum house size, as well as requirements for screening and review of building plans. The county Planning Commission, after protracted debate about the request, recommended that the board deny the application. The members cited the large amount of residentially zoned property in the area, as well as its location , on the fringes of the Amissville village. We can see merit in the arguments on bqth sides. In the , Smets’ defense, the county’s Comprehensive Plan calls for growth to be concentrated around the villages. This parcel, which lies within a mile of U.S. 211, is in the village area, if not strictly within the village district. The covenants offered along with the request would appear to ensure the development of an appealing and attractive subdivision. On the other side, there is some merit that the planned Windemeer Estates would not serve the needs of the county’s residents. With a minimum size of 2,500 square feet on 10 acre lots, the price would be far beyond the reach of those county residents who are most anxiously seeking homes — young couples and families just starting out. As the parcel is now zoned, it creates a transition from two-acre residential zoning on its north side to Agricultural zoning in the remainder of the parcel. If the rezoning is approved, the extension of R-5 zoning into the country surrounding the village may set a precedent. It would be difficult, the planners argued, to refuse the next person who wishes to rezone a similar parcel in the area. And that person might not be willing to proffer limits on the subdivision as Mr. Smet has done. This case will not be the last of its kind to confront the supervisors. As development expands out from the counties around Washington, D.C., the county’s officials are going to be faced with many more such requests. We have no clear answer as to the correct decision, and we think that is best left to the county’s five supervisors. We can offer only support for them in their deliberations, and understanding for the conflicting needs and desires they face. Commentary Rappahannock heritage s LAST WEEK’S SNOW left footprints across the county’s fields Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahfcn leaving Thanksgiving looking more like a white Christmas. Letters to the editor Soccer teams carried county's name, spirit io the editor. As another fall soccer season comes to a close, I would like all ol Rappahannock to know what a fabulous season we had and how well our teams did. Seven teams in the older age groups travelled to Culpeper and Madison to play against teams whc ■had been playing soccer much longer than Rappahannock. The Rappahannock teams played so well that opposing coaches came over to thank us for playing and giving them such a fine game. Our players were universally percieved as well mannered, good sportsmen and talented soccer players. We scored against teams who had not been scored on in three years, we tied teams who had winning scores for the year, we beat teams who thought a game with us would be a walk and we held teams no one else could catch. The Rappahannock coaches are truely dedicated men and women who represent all of Rappahannock out of county. Surrounding counties now know that a game with any Rappahannock team means good soccer. At home our younger teams did equally as well, playing each other. These players are developing skills which will mean even stronger teams in the older age groups in the coming years and truely prepared, talented players for the RCHS socV ' IT HAS SOMETHING \ TO DO WITH THE ORDINANCE ON „ STRADDLE LOTS // / cer program. The support of parents, grandparents, cousins, friends, you name it, was simply overwhelming. A Saturday morning at the elementary soccer field or the high school field meant coffee and danish courtesy of Maggie Rogers and the RCES Student Council Association. A cup of coffee while cheering on the young players has become a Rappahannock tradition. Even though I would like to comment on each and every player (there is so much I could say about all the children and their playing ability), space won’t allow. But I want to thank the coaches: Rob Parrish, John Ferdetta, Jay Monroe, Rick Johnson, Joe McCullough, Bob Wellemeyer, Tom Von Fange, John Burns, Dee Van Horn, Sharon Pierce, Lucky McCoy, Scott Currie and Howard Coon. A special thanks to Chris Stringfellow for being the “field marshal” at every game and to the referees: Ryan Welch, Celeste Waggoner, Noah Waggoner, Roger Welch, Jeremy Tole, Mike Brown and Shannon Sauce. Chris Berta was a great help as assistant coach. Needless to say, a program like this is not possible without the support of many people like Rich Dietz, Dave Smith, Dave Gangel, Ozzie Pace, Bemie Chesshir, John Toth and Martha Kid well. Thank you, Sandra Brown, for keeping it all straight and to Jeb for lining the fields and everything else you do.

Convenience a small price To the editor: We were dismayed by Lou Hatters’s complaints about recycling being “inconvenient.” (Rappahannock News, Nov. 23, p. 5) He makes points about the location of the recycling center, as well as its hours of operation, that are valid. However, to take one hour a week to gather and drop off recyclables is a small price to pay as “rent” for one’s spot on this planet. Each of us has a duty to our county and country to help maintain its beauty and integrity. Recycling is one step in the right direction toward cleaning up our badly-damaged environment, and to gripe that it is not convenient is petty. There are many of us in the community whose lives are as busy and complicated as Mr. Hatter’s, yet we manage to make the time to drive to Amissville. We might also add that one person’s refusal to participate in the program costs the rest of us ’; money — in higher taxes to open a new landfill when the existing one gets filled with trash people found too inconvenient to recy-" t cle. j Our special thanks to Nina ! Stamer for all her fine work- j which has finally made recycling l a reality. i KERRI & STEPHEN ' WAGNER | Washington j Oversight group urged To the editor: Your readers may be interested to learn that a meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 4, at the General Assembly Building in Richmond on the possible creation of a Fair Campaign Practices Commission.

A flicker in the fireplace r By GERALDS. HAWKINS % * Rappahannock Newg Contributing Writer < Editor’s note: Due to an error in the composing room, this column was garbled when it originally appeared in the Nov. 16 issue of the Rappahannock News. This is the correct version of Dr. Hawkins’ column. We offer our apologies for the error. We heat our farmhouse, upstairs and down, with a single fireplace. That may sound unusual, but it is (or was) the traditional English way. At the time of King Arthur the manor house was entirely open-plan, heated by a log fire burning on a hearth in the middle of the room, with a hole in the roof for the smoke. Later, someone thought of making a chimney of wood and stone to help the smoke get out. Finally the famous scientist Isaac Newton invented the smokeshelf — a ledge inside the chimney just behind the damper — and this created a circulation of cold air within the flue which stopped the effects of downdraft. From that point on the Englishman’s country home became his castle. The fireplace with its added oven was a conservation area, a source of hot water, a rotisserie, a bakery and a central heating unit all in one. Our fireplace is a mass of masonry built in the middle of the house, hollow inside with more than a thousand coral-colored bricks. Because it is hollow the trapped air is heated at the sides and at the back ol the fireplace. The thousand bricks also store a lot of the heat. The chimney itself is a long giraffe-like affair , that stretches up inside the stairwell to poke through the center of the roof. C- After the air has circulated around the channels of the masonry, it flows out through a heat register on the second floor at about 105 degrees to warm the bedrooms. The nicely warmed brickwork becomes a low-level radiator for the rest of the i house. Apart from the chore of car| rying logs from the outdoor wood' pile, the system is trouble-free, anc ' in the evenings we have a cheer} ; flicker of flames to look at, and hot | coals for making toast, popping popi com, and roasting chestnuts. I don’t want to argue for or | against the traditional potbellied | stove, but a hollow masonry fire| place is probably more efficient | More air gets to the flames so the ! burning process is more complete ! Less creosote collects in the flue oi ' goes out into the environment. Perspective FORMED IN 1633 FROM culpepep AND NAMED FDR THE RAPPIhmoh RIVER. HEADERS DF»iicHm We bum Virginia white oak and yellow poplar, but only from trees which are dead, or ready to fall. We can bum round logs, Y-shaped logs, and large, unsplitable logs that would never go through the door of a stove. A heating salesman once tried to persuade me to switch to an oil furnace or a propane heater. The only effort on my part would be turning the thermostat knob and writing the checks to pay the fuel bill. But I was not persuaded. In his sales pitch he told me how open fireplaces were inefficient, all the heat went up the chimney. I told him so far as I was concerned, after heating the channels in the masonry, and after pouring 105-degree air from the register and warming the thousand-and-one bricks, whatever puff of heat escaped into the cold Blue Ridge air, the birds were welcomed to have it. Actually we do have lots of birds at the farm, mainly because my wife, Julia, is generous with the birdseed. The several feeders attract the seedeating — grossbeaks, finches, cardinals, indigo buntings, and others — and the presence of the seed-eaters seems to attract the birds that prefer insects.

That mockingbird probably enjoyed the warm air rising from the red embers in the fireplace. Even when there was a bit of smoke rising, it stayed in place, singing. Occasionally the more adventurous type of bird has come right down the chimney into the house. Julia likes to play a folk harp, .which involves sitting by the hearth on a small stool with the harp between her knees and her hands on the strings. Overhead the ceiling is rustic, with exposed wood beams and joists. As she played one afternoon, a bird suddenly swooped down from a hiding place in the beams, divebombed the harp and settled on the window ledge, ruffled but perky. It was a black and speckled starling, one of the so-called gangsters of the bird world. The only way the bird could have come into the house was by way of the chimney. Earlier that day we had noticed disturbed drapes, and a loosened inside window screen, and though we blamed the cat, we never suspected we had a bird in the house. The soothing sound of the harp apparently brought it out from its hiding place. The starling flew from the window to the bookcase and back to the fireplace screen, and the cat followed its flight-path at ground level. We quickly opened the front door, and the sooty starling flew out over the hay field. Another time, Julia and I came home after a trip to town to find a thin dusting of gray powder all over the furniture, somewhat reminiscent of the Mount St. Helens volcano. The cat stood motionless, pointing like a hunting hound toward the fireplace. It was summer, so there was no fire, only a-layer of cold ash. The cat was listening to a faint scratching somewhere up inside the chimney. As we stood there, a bird hopped down, squeezing through the half-closed damper, and fluttered behind the firescreen as though it were inside a cage. It was the fluttering, of course, that was churning up the ashes of the fireplace. We opened the front door, and pulled away the fireplace screen. Earlier in the year, the starling had had an easier flight, but now it was high summer and there was a trelis shading the doorway with lush morning glory blooms all over. This bird, however, got out despite the obstacles. It flew straight as an arrow, right through a small gap in the leaves, on across the hay field into the shaded woods. As it flew out of the fireplace across the living room, I could see the brown back, the red patch at the back of the head, the pale yellow underside of the wings, and the dark crescent bib on the chest. It was a flicker, of course.

Library's fall schedule offers variety of programs By DIANE GREEN Rappahannock News Contributing*Writer The fall months have been busy for the Rappahannock County Library, with a new director, new volunteers and a new building on the drawing board. Plans for the new library are going well, and contributions for the proposed facility are encouraging. People throughout the county are responding to the Friends’ appeal for funds, helping to close the gap left when grant money was awarded to other counties. Business at the library is brisk. Children’s Story Hour was featured each Wednesday in November. Peggy Banker, Barbara Anderson, Jean Wnght and Donna Skill presented lively stories and activities, entertaining many of Rappahannock’s preschoolers. Numerous books and tapes have been added to the library’s collection during the past few months, including a series of audio-cassettes featuring people, places, and events that shaped the states along the east coast. If you plan to travel 1-95, you may want to check them out. As the series, entitled “Ride with Me,” expands to include other states, the library will add more tapes.

We can have fellowship with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, because of the blood of Jesus that was shed to cleanse us from our sin, and made the way possible for us to come to God. We enter into this relationship'by faith, see Ephesians 2:8 & 9. Once we have been born-again, we are the children of God right now in this life. Romans 8:17 says that we are heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ. The word of God tells us what belongs to us as believers, it reveals to us the will of God for our lives, and also the promises that He has made to us. That literally covers every area of your life, mental, physical, financial, spiritual and social. As we believe God's word and act on it in simple child like faith, we receive what He has promised in His word. The bible is a treasure chest of blessings for the believer. Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. I want to encourage every Christian who reads this article, to get into the word of God for yourself and discover the vast riches that belong to you, because you are a believer!

Day REALTOR WAITING IN THE WINGS Some people are luckier than others. What if you have several buyers who want that house at the price you are asking? Can you accept more than one offer? In a way—yes. In rare situations, it is possible to accept a backup offer on your property. Perhaps you sign a firm contract with Buyer A, only to find Buyer B beating down your door the next day. Buyer B is willing to do anything to own your particular house, and is willing to wait around in hopes that Buyer A’s transaction somehow f^lls through. You can then accept an offer from Buyer B “subject to the nonperformance of existing contract with Buyer A.” Buyer A, of course, has a firm contract with you and will probably be the next owner. However, if anything goes wrong with the transaction, you can obtain a release from Buyer A and sell to Buyer B with the price and terms already agreeed upon in your backup contract. You are in the enviable position of a man with a belt and suspenders. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

Cranberry season ushers in holidays By SANDRA RICHARDSON Along with the holidays, cranberry season is coming into full swing. This bright red berry is native to North America. Long before the settlers came to America, the Indians enjoyed wild cranberries. They ate the tart berries cooked with honey or maple syrup. Some were dried, to carry them through the winter. Cranberries have been cultivated since 1840 and are an important commercial crop. The cultivated berries are larger, brighter and more flavorfill than the wild variety. While Massachusetts produces approximately 70 percent of the nation’s crop, Washington, Oregon, New Jersey and Wisconsin also produce large quantities. These berries grow on vines in bogs or marshes and are harvested in the fall. In the early years of our country, the New England sea captains were aware that cranberries in the diet prevented scurvy. Today we know that vitamin C prevents scurvy. In addition to being very high in vitamin C, it also contains a respectable amount of potassium. Other plusses these tiny berries have going for them is that they are low in sodium and contain few cal ones raw. When purchasing, look for berries that are firm and plump. Ripeness is indicated by a high luster. The color ranges from bright to dark red, depending on variety. The most common varities seen in stores are medium-large, bright red fruit and the smaller, darker-colored berries. A pound of cranberries will yield four cups of jellied or whole berry sauce. One pound of frozen berries will yield four cups. Cranberries have good keeping qualities. Fresh, they will keep in the refrigerator for up to four weeks. Frozen, they will keep up to one year. Simply place the unopened bag or box in the freezer. To prepare cranberries, just wash and pick over berries. They may be left frozen. If they are to be ground, you may want to keep them frozen until ready to use. Frozen berries grind more easily. These tiny berries are not just used in sauce. They have found their way into breads, relishes, chutney, desserts and can be cooked with vegetables.

Food drive nets 15 tons Bob Barrett, the Scouting For Food chairman, announced that “the initial report from the Blue Ridge Food Bank is that 15 tons of canned food was collected by the Boy Scouts of America of the Shenandoah Area Council on Saturday, from the generous citizens of the nine county council area.” Since this initial report on Saturday, Nov. 25, additional food has arrived at both the Food Bank and the Boy Scout Office in Winchester. The initial report of 15 tons is already one ton more then that collected in last year’s drive. Sally Coates, the manager of the Blue Ridge Food Bank in Winchester, reported that “no sooner had the food arrived on Saturday, then we started issuing the first thing Monday morning — food boxes to Community Food Pantries, Church groups and others.” The Shenandoah Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, is a participating agency of the WinchesterFrederick and Clarke County United Way, the Front Royal-Warren County United Way, United Way of Berkeley County, W.Va., Inc., and the United Way of Jefferson County, W.Va.

Festivities will include a community bonfire and carolling. Saturday evening will be capped by a live performance at the Town Hall of “Wings of Memory,” bv the awardwinning Golden Key performance group. Area Christmas tree farmers will be joining this year's celebration, offering visitors a brisk “cut-yourown" walk through acres of fir, pine^ and spruce. Parking and admission to the Colonial Christmas week-end festivities are free to the public. For a detailed list of the weekend’s events and for further information, call Country Heritage, 703-675-3738. “Come experience the joyous sights and sounds of a traditional colonial Christmas in the first Washington of them all!” said Nan Thomasson, a member of Washington’s Business Council. Christmas in First Washington, Mrs. Thomasson added, is sponsored by the Washington Business Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting historic Washington, Va., as a national treasure. Learning Center plans 4th Christmas Bazaar “Santa Claus is coming to town!” Child Care and Learning Director Rose Ann Sharp announced. He will land at CCLC at 10 a.m. this Saturday, Dec. 2, to hear your child’s Christmas wishes and to pose for photos for your Christmas albums, Mrs. Sharp added. Santa will be available from 10 a.m.-noon and from 2-4 p.m., and pictures will cost $5. Pictures with Santa are only one of the highlights at Saturday’s Fourth Annual Christmas Bazaar. All proceeds from this fundraiser go toward the Scholarship Fund of the Child Care and Learning Center, Mrs. Sharp said. The large Community Room will be filled with local artists and crafters displaying their wares, items for sale that have been donated by local merchants, and handmade wrapping paper and baked goods for sale. Cookies and cider are available as refreshments . A Children’s Shopping Room is set for children to do their own Christmas shopping — no parents allowed! All gifts inside are $1, and Santa’s helpers will assist the youngsters in wrapping their gifts to surprise the family members on Christmas morning. “A wide variety of gifts are available to choose from, so your youngster is sure to find something for everyone!” said Mrs. Sharp. A Little Elves Workshop wrill be open for children who choose to make their Christmas gift. There will be a choice of three crafts, costing $1 each, that children will be able to complete in five minutes’ time. There will be helpers to assist the children in completing their creations. No parents allowed in the Workshop, either! Raffle tickets will be on sale for $2, giving chances on a beautiful handmade cherry mirror donated by Gene Lyman’s Country Cupboards and dinner for two at the Inn at Little Washington. “Come Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and join CCLC for a community celebration that will benefit a good cause. Now that’s the spirit of Christmas!” said Mrs. Sharp. Sunday Dreamers present 'Work in Progress' Dec. 8 Rappahannock County, already home to more artists, performers and creative spirits than any region should have the right to claim, has given birth to yet another artistic endeavor. Long-time county residents Cathy Kiley, Tutt Stapp-H arris and Linda Orfila have brought together their varying backgrounds in theatre, dance, music and writing to form “Sunday Dreamers,” a group whose work fuses stories, poetry, voice, gesture and traditional instruments into performance. The group, begun last October by Kiley and Harris, was originally intended as an opportunity for the two to meet and continue to explore techniques they had learned while studying with Julie Portman and the Golden Key Performance Group, whose inspiration has guided much of the group’s direction. Linda Orfila joined their Sunday rehearsals in March, and in September the three decided on sharing some of their works-in-progress with the community on Dec. 8. “Since our work is improvisational and we are both creating and learning our own process as we go, all of our work is really ‘work-in-progress,’ ” said Ms. Harris. “It’s growing and developing all the time. The pieces we’re presenting on Dec. 8 are finished as of that day, but on the next rehearsal they may change. There are things we began last October that aren’t complete yet!” The evening’s material will include traditional stories, original stories and poetry, a vocal performance and a piece that will be created as it is performed, using the group’s improvisational techniques. Although Cathy Kiley is best known as author of “Voices of Rappahannock’’ and as a member of Sally Nash’s Last Minute Wood Company, her recent credits include her position as Artist-in-Residence with Rappahannock County Schools for “The Ties That Bind,” a sevenmonth oral history project funded by the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Linda Orfila is also a veteran of the Last Minute Wood Company, which she joined after returning from touring Brazil and Uruguay with a modem dance troupe. Tutt Stapp-Harris received a degree in theatre, has served as an apprentice actress with Hayloft Dinner Theatre and has performed with the Rappahannock Players and other local groups. The doors of the Town Hall will open at 7:30 p.m., and the performance will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $4 for adults and $2.50 for children and senior citizens, and will be sold at the door.

CIP Continued from page 1 Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Sharon Pierce said she had seen the new plans, and they still called for a one-half million dollar facility. “How do you all feel about this?” Board of Supervisors representative Mike Massie asked. “If they’re talking about an allpurpose room, maybe they can spread it out,” Dr. Krebser said. “Considering what we have now. this is a big improvement. This is the first time for cracking the public’s wallet. They may run into hellish rock out there.” “I think the public will let you know how they feel about that," Mr. Fannon said. “This means raising the tax rate by three cents,” Dr. Krebser said. For the 1992 fiscal year Mr. McCarthy listed $460,000 in capital improvements. Another school bus is scheduled for replacement, at a projected cost of $28,000; another $14,000 is allocated to continue the rotation and retirement of Sheriffs Department vehicles; $8,000 for continuing the lease purchase of computers for the financial officers; $175,000 for continued development ' of the landfill; $85,000 for a waste transfer station; $125,000 for renovating the town hall: $10,000 for microfilming records in the Clerk's office and $15,000 for half the price of purchasing automatic mapping equipment. Mr. McCarthy explained to the planners that the waste transfer station was a matter the planners and supervisors will have to decide on. His recommendation, the county administrator said, is that when the contract for servicing the Scrabble and Huntly dumpsters expires that they be closed and another dumpster area, fenced and staffed, be located between Washington and Sperryville. “We would get control over the waste stream and eliminate hauling costs,” he said. “It’s expensive trucking the trash, especially from Scrabble.” “Why not make everyone haul their trash to the landfill?” Mr. Massie asked. “That’s what they do in Culpeper, and what you see in Culpeper is private trash haulers." Dr. Krebser suggested it would be cheaper to fence in the Scrabble and Huntly sites and have them onlyopen on Saturdays. Mr. McCarthy said that the county does not own the Huntly- site, but it does own the site at Scrabble and the former site at Amissville. Those sites could be sold, and the money would nearly pay for the new site, he suggested. The $125,000 to renovate the town hall was an estimate, Mr. McCarthy suggested. He said the county did not know now whether the space would be needed for a courtroom or could be made into of- _ fice space. Of the automatic mapping, Mr. McCarthy said that the system could be used to bring in the emergency 911 system and would also be useful for mapping for the zoning office and for planning. The estimated bill for capital expenses in 1993 was $226,000. Of that, $58,000 will go toward purchase of two new school buses, $30,000 for two new Sheriffs Department vehicles, $125,000 for the landfill, $8,000 for the computer equipment for the financial officers and $15,000 to complete the purchase of the automatic mapping system. For 1994, $243,500 is the estimated cost of capital improvements. Another bus accounts for $29,000 of that, $31,000 for additional sheriffs vehicles, $8,500 for the final payment on the computer equipment and $175,000 for the landfill. The capital improvements budget for 1995 was estimated at $268,(MX); $60,(XX) for school buses, $33,000 for sheriffs vehicles, and $175,(XX) for the landfill. After reviewing Mr. McCarthy's suggestions I)r. Krebser asked about funds for the reassessment. “I don't consider that a capital cost, since we don’t get anything for it," Mr. McCarthy said. “It’s a cost for professional services." "I'd like to see us get a piece of land and sit on it in'case we need a school." Mr. Massie suggested. Mr. McCarthy suggested that perhaps the same piece of land could serve for that purpose and the waste transfer station.

LIC. #980 GORDON CASH Pond Continued from page 1 jested it be made larger. The Rutherfords denied that they had given aermission for the pond. In the meantime, the Rutherfords had filed i complaint with the Health Department alleging that the Scotts had installed an illegal septic system which was possibly draining into the pond. In addition they complained that the drain from the kitchen sink led to a pipe that allowed the water to run out on the ground above the pond. At the October meeting the BZA members delayed taking action. They wanted to have a report from the health department and to visit the site before voting on the variance request. Sanitarian Jack Lockhart visited the Scott’s property and told them they should change the plumbing so the drain from the sink w ould lead to the septic system. The Scotts complied with this requirement. Investigating the complaint alleging leakage of the septic system into the pond, Mr. Lockhart put dye into the septic system on Nov. 1. He checked the pond regularly from Nov. 2-8 and found no evidence the septic system was discharging into the pond. “Existing septic system appeared to be functioning satisfactorily'and was proper distance from pond," Mr. Lockhart’s report concluded. When the BZA members visited the site on Nov. 20 they determined that the pond was located 22 teet from one property line with the Rutherfords and 18 feet from another. “The pond does not conform by a substantial amount to the 100-foot setback,” Mr. Bird said at last Wednesday’s meeting. “The Scotts maintain that they had oral consent from the Rutherfords, and the Rutherfords deny that. It is plain that a variance is required." Mr. Bird continued by explaining that in order to issue a variance all three members of the BZA present would have to vote for it. They would have to agree with the stipulated findings, whigh must show that "a strict application of the ordinance would unreasonably restrict the ordinary use of the property or present a hardship approaching confiscation,” he said. “A strict application would require the removal ol the pond and regrading. ” “One issue that concerns me is the amount of time that passed; it was a matter of many months,” Mr. Gottleib said. “There may have been implied consent by that. I realize they have a right to complain any time, but that factor weighs with me.” “How7 much would it cost you to remove the pond and regrade?" Mr. Bird asked Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott said he didn’t know the answer but it had cost him $900 to put the pond in. He had rented four different machines to do the work and his friends had supplied the labor. "If you did regrade it, could it be done to avoid the swampiness?" Mr. Bird asked Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott didn’t think he could avoid the swampiness. “The water going into the pond is from a spring there,” he said. Mr. Bird asked the Rutherfords if they would still object if the pond had a larger drainpipe and was fenced. "It certainly won’t make it any farther from my house, and he didn’t ask anybody," Mrs. Rutherford answered-. Mr. Zindel made the motion to dpny the variance. The motion passed, and Mr. McCarthy told-the Scotts they would have 60 days to remove the pond. Mr. Bird expressed the hope that the Scotts would put in some kind of drain to prevent the swampiness. “There is no way I can do it,” Mr. Scott said. “Then it will be no worse than it was before,” Mr. Bird said. “This was the toughest case we’ve had,” Mr. Zindel said. “It was not an eyesore. I think it improves the area there. If it was not in accordance writh what it needs to be, it could be corrected so it is not a hazard.” “It will be a bigger mess than what it is now,” Mr. Scott said. The Rutherfords left the courtroom first. Later the Scotts followed. Outside the courthouse Mr. Scott “cussed out the Rutherfords” in the presence of Sheriffs Department Capt. Ed Streapy, according to Magistrate Dieter Knuepfer. Mrs. Rutherford signed a complaint charging Mr. Scott with verbal assault. The case is scheduled for hearing in General District Court on Tuesday, Dec. 5.

Roads Continued from page 1 the road standards, former planner and supervisor Newbill Miller voiced concerns that the 1985 zoning ordinance contained loopholes that had not been in the 1973 ordinance. The 1985 ordinance was adopted in December, 1986, when Mr. Miller was a member of the Board of Supervisors and the representative of the board to the Planning Commission. He wrote a letter to Mr. McCarthy, which was distributed the to planners before their meeting. Mr. Miller’s explanation of the problem is followed by a list of suggestions for remedies, including limiting subdivisions into lots smaller than 25 acres to tracts on 50-footwide state roads and would limit Type-Two roads to subdivisions with lots 25 acres or larger. When the planners took up these suggestions they were divided on whether such provisions would discourage clustering, which places all the allowable dwellings on a small portion of a large parcel while leaving the bulk of the land in open space. In the past few months the planners and supervisors have approved subdivisions in Agricultural land with some lots smaller than 25 acres, provided that the average density be no greater than one residence per 25 acres, and that the residue of land, once such a parcel is subdivided, have a restriction placed on its deed noting that density of future development has been affected by the division. In addition Mr. McCarthy had prepared for the planners’ Novem-' ber meeting a proposal for Planned Unit Residential Development (PURD) Districts. These would encourage clustering of allowed residential development and guaranteeing that open space would be protected “in perpetuity from development . .' . through open space easements donations to Board of Supervisors-approved holders of said easements, such as the Virginia Outdoors Foundation.” The planners delayed discussion of this proposal until their next FLINT HILL PROPERTIES A Colonial style brick Cape Cod with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, dining room, spacious kitchen, living room with fireplace, full basement with fireplace, hardwood floors throughout.

I’m not sure cluster is the way to go,” Mr. Miller said. “I’ve been to Federal court, and Federal judges don’t even think perpetuity will be very long. Subdividing is a matter of economics. We have to control it the best we can by not encouraging five-acre lots around the villages on gravel roads. If we don’t require they be built to state specifications so they could be taken into the system, the taxpayers will have to pay to upgrade them.; Under the old ordinance five-acre lots had to be on 50-foot roads connected by 50-foot roads to a major highway." “My personal contention is that dividing the county into 25-acre lots is only marginally better than dividing it into two-acre lots,” Mr. McCarthy said. “If you can’t count on a deed restriction, then we’re all in trouble,” Phil Irwin said from the audience. ; The planners agreed that subdivisions should be on roads with a 50— foot right of way, or have lots of 25acres or more, or have some sort of deed restriction. ! “You have to sustain the ordi-; nance politically in the minds of the; people and in the courts," Mr. Miller said. “You could have every village ringed with subdivisions on gravel' roads ...
