RAPPAHANNOCK HOUSEHOLDS POUNOj A'. 2,722 Rappahannock County ’s Family Newspaper Since 1877 39th Year, No. 50 14 pages Bureau of circulation THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1989 Washington, Virginia Phon^75-334$ Cents Old Rag Bulletins Food drive needs help The county's Department of Social Services is conducting its annual holiday food drive for Rappahannock's lessfortunate residents. According to Marie Davis, so far the drive is behind its goal compared to the last several years. Without sufficient contributions of non-perishable food and cash donations, the department will be forced to curtail the number of holiday food baskets distributed. The department plans to finish the drive on Dec. 18, so residents are urged to get donations to the office on Gay St. in Washington as soon as possible. For information, call Social Services, 6753313. ; Community Christmas celebration On Sunday, Dec. 17, RAAC will sponsor the annual Community Christmas Program at the Gay St. Theater. The program will begin on the courthouse lawn at 6 p.m. with the lighting of the Christmas ; tree. Then the festivities move across the . street to the theater, whefe the RCHS Choir * and Senior Choir will sing seasonal songs ; and join in traditional holiday carols. There • will also be hot cider and cookies, a visit ; from Santa and a screening of the holiday favorite "A Christmas Carol." There is no admission charge for the event, which is sponsored by RAAC as a Christmas present to the Rappahannock community. For more information, call the RAAC office, 6753193. Clothing, toys for needy The "Support the People" project will end its third year with a giveaway of donated clothing and toys at Washington Fire Hall, 10a.m.-3:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 16. There will be clothing for men, women and children in all sizes and toys of every description, and Santa will visit at 1 p.m. Any residents who are in need of clothing or toys for the children on their Christmas lists are invited to stop by the fire hall and choose what they need. The event is sponsored by a group of community organizations and is entirely free for any needy residents. Flu vaccinations urged The Rappahannock County Health Department continues to offer vaccinations against the three strains of influenza which are expected to cause problems this winter. Some people are particularly urged to get the shot, including the elderly, children in school or day care with exposure to large groups of other children, adults who work in health-care-related professions and individuals of any age with chronic heart or lung disease. Though flu is often though of as more of an inconvenience, for thousands each winter it is a killer — in fact, the fourth leading cause of death in older adults. The health department offers vaccinations by appointment. Fees are charged on a sliding scale based on income. For more informatioh, call the health department office, 675-3516.

Weekend weather | According to the extended forecast from the National Weather Service, the' county is in for a cold weekend, with daytime highs hovering near freezing and nighttime lows plunging into the teens. There's also a chance of more snow during the period. i ' .... _'_' .. ' Kappahannock News photo/Lxiu Hatter A BROOM WORKS FINE for Arthur Smith, cleaning snow from the steps at the Sperryville Antique Market last Saturday morning. Most residents needed snow shovels by Wednesday, however, as the county received another six inches from a major winter storm. Early snow snarls school schedule By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though the county’s youngsters are eiyoying an early holiday vacation, Superintendent David Gangel is not happy about the public schools being closed for the fourth straight day Wednesday. “Obviously, I’m concerned,” he said Tuesday evening after the decision was made to call school on Wednesday. With the closing in anticipation of Hurricane Hugo in late September, the schools have now used up the five snow days built into the^ calendar. “It’s a problem, and we’re not even officially into winter.” The five snow days can be made up by shortening vacations, eliminating holiday observances and eliminating a tea cher work day, according to Dr. Gangel. So far, the county has recorded more than one foot of snow, according to Emergency Services Coordinator Col. Dieter Knuepfer, who records weather observations at his home near Massies Corner. Col. Knuepfer reported about three inches of snow Nov. 22, another five inches on Dec. 8, an additional one inch on Dec. 9, two and a half on Dec. 11 and another three and a half on top of that Dec. 12. Though the county has been innundated with more snow so far this winter than fell over the past two seasons combined, the Virginia Department of Transportation reports no problems keeping the roads open. Supervisor Walter Jenkins said the main roads have been kept generally clear of snow, and are only wet following the latest storm. The secondary roads, particularly back in the hollows where the sun doesn’t shine all day, have been scraped but many are still snow-packed and slick, Mr. Jenkins reported.Those roads will be salted and sanded, then plowed again if conditions warrant, he said. The county’s highway department employees are working 12 hour shifts until the roads are clear. As is usual policy when storm warnings are issued, the department had employees out on the roads before the snow began, Mr. Jenkins explained, and other crew members were called See SNOW, p. 14 Counffffiay adopt motor vehicle laws By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Should Rappahannock County adopt local ordinances which parallel state motor-vehicle laws? If the county does, when sheriffs deputies issue tickets or make arrests for violations of those laws, the fines collected would go into the -county treasury rather than into the state general fund. Since July, those fines amounted to $6,015, County Administrator John McCarthy told the supervisors at their meeting Dec. 4. To make the system work, it will be necessary for the county to amend the laws each year to keep up with changes in state laws, Mr. McCarthy explained, but he indicated that he felt this would not be hard for the county to do. Mr. McCarthy suggested that the county could also include some private streets in subdivisions for enforcement of motor-vehicle laws if the residents of the subdivisions want that. The Sheriffs Office and the Commonwealth Attorney’s office have had complaints about speeding three- and four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles on private roads in Rappahannock Lakes and in Skyverge Estates. However, Mr. McCarthy pointed out, the county would not want the expense of putting up and maintaining speed-limit and stop signs for private roads, so the Sheriff’s Department jurisdiction would only be extended to those streets if the homeowners would be willing to be responsible for the signs. Enforcing motor-vehicle laws on those streets would not mean that state maintainance wguld be extended to them, Mr. McCarthy added. The Board of Supervisors agreed to hold a public hearing on these issues at its January meeting. Extending the Sheriffs Department jurisdiction into the Shenandoah National Park was also on last Monday’s agenda. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said, “We were approached by the Park. We don’t have any jurisdiction there; it’s covered by Federal law. They want to cede overlapping jurisdiction. John and I both have some question on what it’s going to cost Rappahannock County.” Sheriff John Henry Woodward explained that the Federal government is interested in ceding overlapping jurisdiction over all its property in Virginia. “The Sheriffs Association has fought against it. We’re afraid they’re going to cut back. I see a lot more being thrown on us,” he said. ^ He explained that the General Assembly has to approve the shared jurisdiction, but “If the Federal Government cedes the authority and the Commonwealth See LAWS, p. 13 ARB seeks philosophy to guide decisions By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After Washington’s Architectural Review Board finished reviewing applications at its Nov. 30 meeting, acting chairwoman Evelyn Willis Mrs. Willis suggested that the members think about how they see their responsibilities. “We’ve had problems in the past due to a lack of philosophy. And, our ordinance needs firming up.” Noting that a survey of every build ing in the town is now being done, Mrs. Willis said the information will give the ARB a base for consideration of future applications, to “find out what we have to deal with.” The questions which must be addressed by the ARB’s members, she added, involve what guidelines to use in considering applications for certificates of appropriateness, which are required for apy construction or alterations of structures “Within the town which are visible from a public street. Citing the jail addition as an example, she wondered about alternative methods of considering the application. “Should it be compared to private buildings? . . . Should we designate certain buildings as being of particular historic importance? . . . Or should we treat them all the same?” ARB member Robert Parrish, who is in the midst of designing an addition to his home, suggested that an informal meeting with the ARB early in the process is ex tremely helpful. Then the applicant finds out “immediately and specifically what, if any, is the problem.” Mrs. Willis replied that the board “is between a rock and a hard place.” The ARB can point up problems, but can’t really offer solutions. “We can’t redesign your building for you.” The ARB’s responsibility is to look at designs^fid approve or disapprove the plans ^stfbmitted. See ARB, p. 14 Without sludge permit, WSA lacks pumping options By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority was unable to hold its regular monthly meeting last Thursday for lack of a quorum. Members Carson Johnson and Martin Woodard were the only ones present. The Authority, which oversees the operation of Sperryville’s sewage collection and treatment system, needs to get some business conducted soon. The contract with Rosebud Septic Service, which had pumped the septic tanks in Sperryville, expired when the last of the tanks were pumped last December, thus completing its three-year contract. Members of the Authority have expressed interest in finding a less expensive way to get the tanks pumped. They have discussed finding another firm or even in acquiring a pumper truck and having Tim Falls, the plant operator, do the pumping. ii me pumping is done by Mr. r ails, the Authority needs permission to put the sludge pumped into the Sperryville treatment plant. That would require an amendment to its discharge permit, which regulates the effluent which is allowed to flow back into the Thornton River And other potential contractors have indicated they could offer the service for a much lower cost if they also could deposit the sludge in the treatment plant, but again that would require permission from the state Health Department. Mr. Falls has told Authority members he believes the treatment plant would operate more effectively with sludge in it, because the liquid now going into the plant leaves it “starved” for bacteria. Mr. Woodard had volunteered to follow-up on what steps are needed to get Health Department permission to put the sludge into the plant, but has no answers yet. The tanks are supposed to be pumped at least every five years, and the Authority had hoped to keep most tanks on a three-year cycle, with some tanks pumped as often as once a year. It has now been four years since some tanks were pumped, and none have been pumped within the past year. With no quorum at the Dec. 7 meeting, it now appears that any decisions will wait. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan IN THE SPIRIT of the season, the Weakley residence on North Main St. in Washington is decorated for Christmas— inside and out. County residents share Christmas spirit with neighbors less fortunate By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer As Christmas approaches and the world celebrates peace on earth and good will toward man, humanity’s goodness becomes a familiar sight as the gift of giving fills the air with fellowship and a feeling of brotherhood toward all. This gift is felt no stronger else where than here in Rappahannock County. While elsewhere shoppers scurry through urban malls and fight the traffic to tinseled suburbs, peaceful Rappahannock County’s villages — adorned in holly and pine — remember the holiday’s theme as community members bear gifts of the heart to their neighbors in need. Throughout the county, people are giving — giving to make Christmas merry for everyone. Several Amissville-area residents will find a little something special for their holiday as the Amissville Ruritans — in conjunction with the Amissville Methodist See SPIRIT, p. 14

Arrests crack burglary ring The arrests’of three men in Highland County may have broken a burglary ring which was responsible for the thefts of furniture and other household items from a number of county homes. According to Rappahannock. County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Ed Streapy, the three are suspects in the breaking and entering of vacant houses in Rappahannock County, beginning in January 1988. Capt. Streapy said that some items taken in the„thefts have been recovered. A county grand jury returned a total of 24 felony indictments against the three men last month. The suspects and indictments are: • Harold Lee Rainey, 49, of Chester, Va.; charged with six counts of breaking and entering and six counts of grand larceny. •flames W. Thomas, 48, of Rhoadesfille, Va.; charged with two cotfnts of breaking and entering and two counts of grand larceny. • Robert D. Powers, 23, also of Rhoadesville; charged with four counts of breaking and entering and four counts of grand larceny. Powers is Thomas’ nephew, according to Capt. Streapy. The three are currently being held at the Piedmont Regional Jail in Farmville. They are scheduled to appear in court in Rappahannock County on Jan. 8. Capt. Streapy added that the trio face additional related charges in “numerous jurisdictions” in Virginia.

Weather cancels Panther hoop schedule By LOU HATTER Ranpahannoek New* Staff Writer So far, the Rappahannock Panthers have played “snow ball” rather than basketball, in the words of Coach Gary Leake. With only one game under their belts and two already canceled, the Panthers stand at 1-0 after a seasonopening win against Luray High School on Dec. 6. The Bulldogs fell to Rappahannock in front of a capacity crowd at RCHS, 53-49. The season’s second contest against Clarke County on Dec. 8 was also cancelled, as was a rematch against Luray set for Dec. 1^2. The Luray game has tentatively been rescheduled for Jan. 10, but no date has been set for the Clarke County game, according to Coach Leake. Coach Leake pronounced himself satisfied with the Panthers’ performance against Luray, although he admitted the final score was closer man it snouia nave been, we nad double figure leads in the second and third quarters,” but aggressive play by the visiting Bulldogs closed the gap. “The team started off great, but they got to a point where they weren’t playing a complete game. They let them get close. If we’d played our top game we would have done better.” However, in the team’s first outing of the regular season, “we were still feeling things out — trying to correct weaknesses before we start our district schedule.” Senior Julian Groves led the team with 16 points, five rebounds, six steals and seven assists. Sophomore James Roy added another 11 points in his first varsity outing, and Jason Butler came off the bench to contribute 10 points and four steals. Paul Hitt and exchange student Francisco Vicente added another six points apiece. Coach Leake pointed to the wide scoring spread as evidence of the Panthers’ balanced scoring attack, “one of the team’s strengths in scrimmages which has carried over into the regular-season.” Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan PUTTING ON FANCY MOVES, Panther Julian Groves evades Bulldog defenders. Groves’ ball-handling abilities give him “a major advantage” against the defense, according to Coach Gary Leake. Butler's performance off the bench also pointed up the team’s depth, another strength Coach Leake touted in pre-season interviews. “There’s no money man this year. We have eight, maybe 10 players capable of double figures in any,, game.” The Panthers outrebounded Luray 41-21, indicating that the emphasis on rebounding fundamentals has paid off, the coach added. James Roy pulled down 11, and Vicente added another eight. “Everybody pitched in. We stressed it in practice and it paid off.” Coach Leake said the team’s biggest problem right now is in not drawing enough fouls. That, he explained, serves to blunt the opponent’s defense, if the players must be wary of being called for another foul. “It’s a mark against the defense, which reduces their aggressiveness.” With more aggressive inside play, Coach Leake said, the team has the potential to add an additional 12 to 15 points each game from the foul line. The Panthers’ next opponent is Central. The Falcons come to RCHS on Friday night, Dec. 15, bringing ’ two forwards who are averaging 20 points each per game and a 6-foot five-inch, 280 pound center. Coach Leake predicted a good game, particularly since the Falcons’ major weakness is in their guard positions, where the Panthers are strongest. “That will be key — to turn their weakness to our advantage. We’ve got to make their guards make mistakes.” The Panthers travel to Brentsville District next Tuesday, Dec. 19. That is their final game before the Christmas break. They will play in the Christmas Tournament on Dec. 28 and 29 at Stonewall Jackson High School, beginning with .a game against the Page County Panthers on Dec. 28 at 8:30 p.m. Special Ed advisory committee meets Dec. 14 The special education advisory committee for the Rappahannock County Public Schools will hold an organizational meeting, 3:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 14, in the conference room at the School Board Office.

She was sentenced by Judge Raynor Snead to 30 days in jail, to be served on 15 consecutive weekends, and fined $500. Mrs. Swift had been charged with possession of marijuana with intent to manufacture, a more serious felony charge with a possible penalty of five to 20 years in prison. The jury verdict indicated that the Commonwealth failed to prove the intent to manufacture but did prove Mrs. Swift’s possession of the illegal drug. The charge stemmed from a July 1988 search of her rented home and property on Route 634 at the base of Chester Gap. Sheriffs Department Capt. Ed^ Streapy testified that he received a tip that marijuana was growing in the garden near the house. Early on the morning of July 14 he drove past the house and saw what he suspected were marijuana plants growing in an area between two rows of com. He knocked on the door of the house to request permission to look at the plants, but there was no answer, he said. Capt. Streapy then went to the magistrate’s office in Washington and requested a search warrant, which was issued. When he returned to the house with several other deputies, however, the suspected marijuana was gone. Capt. Streapy did discover plant material in the dirt in the area where the plants had been growing and recovered additional plant material from Mrs. Swift’s bedroom. Both samples were analyzed by the state laboratory and identified as marijuana. In a statement taken the day after her arrest, Mrs. Swift admitted to caring for the garden, including the alleged marijuana plants, but denied any knowledge of what they were or who had planted them. She said she had begun to grow suspicious of the unknown plants but had not thought of calling the sheriffs department to report them. The morning of the search, she told Capt. Streapy, she had left the house early to mend fencing in a field away from the house and did not hear him when he knocked on the door. Mrs. Swift could have received up to 12 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 for the conviction for possession. Blanchard indicted David Adamson Blanchard Jr., 36, of Flint Hill, was indicted by a county grand jury on a charge of possession of marijuana with intent to manufacture. The charge resulted from an aerial search of the county in July by a joint National Guard, Virginia State Police and Sheriffs Department task force. A total of 59 suspected marijuana plants were seized from two patches in Blanchard’s yard off Route 631 north of Flint Hill. His next court appearance, for entry of a plea, is set for Jan. 8. He remains free on bond. Craft guilty of sex abuse William Oakley Craft, 52, of Route 1, Castleton, was convicted by a Rappahannock County Circuit Court jury of rape and another related sex charge. The charges alleged that Craft had sexual relations with a female juvenile on numerous occasions between July 1986 and April 1988. The jury sentenced Craft to 10 years in prison on each of the two charges. He remains free on a personal recognizance bond until his next court appearance on Dec. 19. Editor’s note: The specific nature of the second charge against Mr. Craft has been withheld to protect the identity of his victim, who is a juvenile.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14,1989 DUI: No excuses This week, Dec. 10-16, marks the nationwide observance of National Drunk and Drugged Driver Awareness Week. This year’s theme is “The Designated Driver, Someone People Really Look Up To.” In that mouthful of words, there are important implications for all of us. Though increased penalties and public awareness of the dangers of driving while under the influence has helped to reduce some statistics a bit, far too many people are killed and injured each year by intoxicated drivers. Consider the facts in Virginia during 1988: • There were 18,084 crashes in which alcohol played a factor, 12.5 percent of the total accidents. • Alcohol was involved in 48.5 percent of all fatal accidents. • Alcohol-related accidents killed 522 people on state roads, an increase of 24.9 percent over the 1987 figure. • More than 46,000 people were arrested for driving under the influence, and 84.2 percent were convicted of the crime. • Of the alcohol-related fatalities, 64 were teenagers. Another 2,338 were injured in accidents where alcohol was implicated. • Drinking and driving cost Vlrginia an estimated $329,068,800, according to National Safety Council estimates. (Statistics from Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program and Crash Facts, compiled by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles) Drinking and driving is traditionally high during the Christmas holiday season, as more people attend parties and more motorists are on the roads visiting families and friends. Weather conditions may add to the hazard, making driving while impaired a particularly dangerous decision. We urge our readers to play it safe this holiday season. Drink responsibly, and if you do drink, don’t drive. A designated driver may be rotated among members of a group, with different people taking the responsibility on different nights. Many people pledge not to drink and drive, but actually keeping the promise is sometimes difficult. Rationalizations like, “I’ve only had a couple,” or “I’ve eaten, I’ll be fine,” or “I’ll stop and get a cup of coffee,” can be killers. And even if there’s no accident involved, a DUI conviction means stiff fines, a possible jail term and possible loss of your driver’s license. State and local police have once again joined the Combined Accident Reduction Effort (CARE) which means more patrols and more routine checkpoints, thereby increasing your chances of being caught. It’s just not worth it to drink and drive. There’s nothing wrong with being the life of the party, but choosing to drive after drinking can end that life, as well as other innocent lives as well. It’s a big chance, and not worth the risk. Rappahannock heritage Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Malian THOUGH MAIN ROADS are clear, the county’s back roads remain snow-covered and slick. Letters to the editor Bazaar just gets better! To the editor: I can’t believe that it just keeps getting better! - Because of the wonderful people in our community, the success of the Child Care and Learning Center’s Christmas Bazaar has grown each year. The generosity of the local businesses and the time and efffort by the parents, staff, and board of the Center were just overwhelming. On behalf of the Christmas Bazaar Committee, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to you all for helping to make our Fourth Annual Christmas Bazaar a very pleasant and memorable event. In addition to the parent, staff and board of volunteers, I would like to thank the following for their support: Jim Blubaugh for his “Very Special Role,” Great Hickory Farm and Mosse Hill Farm for the Christmas trees and Trinity Episcopal Church for the use of their tables. Donations of a dinner for two from The Inn at Little Washington and a handsome cherry mirror from Country Cupboards made our raffle a great success. I would also like to thank the following artists and crafters for participating: Roger & Geneva Welch, Beth Levick, Maggie Rogers, Janet Kerig, Monika Calhoun, Jim Clark and Ryland and Mark Pace. We could not have done it without you. The families of the scholarship, children at our Center are most appreciative of the $2,300 raised at the bazaar. This money is going directly into our Scholarship Fund to assist in tuition costs for our less fortunate families. Congratulations to our raffle winners, Margie & Peter White and Susan Rust. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. JEANNE BERTA Bazaar Chairman Castleton Give 'em a brake To the editor: It shouldn’t happen, but it does. Since May, five people have been killed in highway construction or maintenance work sites in Virginia. Three of these deaths occurred in September — a motorist and two surveyors in separate accidents. For your readers, I have this message: Across the state, you are seeing more highway improvements than ever before — projects that are a necessity for the people of Virginia. On the highway before all of these projects, you’ll see orange signs warning of the upcoming highway work. I urge you to take these signs seriously. During the past three years, the Virginia Department of Transportation has done more than install signs to protect motorists and our employees. We’ve emphasized enhanced safety engineering at the sites, employee training, better enforcement and public safety education. These efforts have reduced fatalities by more than 60 percent, but that’s not good enough. We must have your help to bring an end to highway work zone fatalities. When you’re out driving to, work, the beach, the mountains orjust to the grocery store, keep an. eye out for signs warning of upcoming highway construction or maintenance work. Slow down and stay alert when driving through the work^ site. Don’t let yourself become hypnotized by the white lines on the highway. That’s all it takes. Having an accident in a highway; work zone could destroy a few orange cones or signs and maybeeven dent up your car. Or as in the case of the five individuals I’ve al-. ready mentioned, an accident could result in death. Please drive carefully through the work zones. RAY D. PETHTEL, Commissioner, Virginia Department of Transportation Helping others brings home Christmas spirit By BRENDA KNOLL Rappahannock News Contributing Writer She called me agian last night. “There’s two children ain’t barely got any clothes. Came over to my house with their father. My son brought the little girl in, she was barefoot and had no jacket. He gave her cookies and hot chocolate. He loves little kids.” “You got some clothes for a little THATS MO MO S REASON TO E.MDANGER I otw EKS'L-~J boy and girl? The girl’s about 1 1/2 to two years and the boy is two or three years old. They livin’ in a camper trailer — the kind that sits on a truck, only it’s sittin’ up on blocks now.” “I’m going to give them nuts, fruits, and cookies and I’ve got a nice doll baby for the girl. Can you get these kids some clothes?” Mrs. Compton is a true angel! She’s small, a bit plump, has arthritis so bothersome. “I can’t hardly get around no more,” and she has the most beautiful smile you ever saw. Oh, and her house! It’s a Christmas dreamland. As I walked in, the parakeets greeted me in the kitchen and the heat of the woodstove quickly warmed me, while Mr. Compton nodded a “Hello” from his easy chair and asked,-“How are you today?” My eyes adjust to the dimly lit room and I see the hundreds of beautiful old ceramic figures and figurines, little toys and nicnacs, plump gold fish swimming in their home, Christmas decorations, a Nativity scene, and strings of small twinkling lights hung about. It s the warmest ieeiing i ever felt. I just wanted to dwell on every nicnac and pretty thing she has; to feel the warmth and love of living in such a place. But we had work to do! I remembered Mrs. Compton’s voice on the telephone. In the back room I’ve got bags of clothes I can’t do nothin’ with anymore. Would you and your girl come and get them? I know you can use them in the Christmas program. There’s lots of people who would be proud to have these. I can’t help much you know, my arthritis?” Can’t help? I think she did all the work! All I did was load the bags she filled onto my pick-up truck, as my 12-year-old daughter got lost in a world of old necklaces and earrings. We piled the bags of clothes and toys to the top of the cab of the truck. Voila! Now she had an entire room she could use again. You know, helping her get that room cleared and seeing her eagerly planning on how to rearrange the chairs and tables, is a feeling hard to describe. We forget that older people sometimes need the help of younger people. I took my donated goods back home and I’ve been washing and sorting for three weeks. Every time I open another bag and see those heavy duty men’s pants (we even have extra, extra large) and insulated winter coats, all in excellent condition! I get the best feeling, knowing that people can use these clothes right away. We have men’s clothing in all sizes: small, medium, large and extra large; women’s sizes 6-16 and up; girl’s and boy’s sizes 4/5 to 16 and babies from 0 to 4 T. We have Christmas wrapped toys galore. We have shoes, purses, draperies, material and household items. Please come and take what you need and want. If you know of someone who’s going to have a bit of a tough time a* Christmas or you know their child needs shoes, a winter coat, a sweater or jeans, tell them to corns or bring them yourself or get them a bag. i However you do it, just do it.' Don’t wait, and then after Christmas say “you know hon, we really shoukj of helped Joe and his wife and kids a bit this Christmas.” This is the Support the People Program. If you had wondered what it meant, now you know. It’s my gift to you from last year and this, and now I’m off...to find a girl’s size 2 winter coat and a boy’s size 3 T and anything else I can dig up. Merry Christmas from Brenda Knoll.

Letters to Santa The Rappahannock News is looking for “Letters to Santa” from the county’s children. We plan to publish selected submissions in the Dec. 21 issue, the week before Christmas.

GOP needs introspection, not housecleaning By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer When any party loses three consecutive gubernatorial elections — the Democrats in the late ’60s and ’70s and the Republicans in the ’80s — there is an inevitable clamor for change. Thus, little more than a month after the Virginia GOP was again swept in the statewide balloting, some are demanding a top-to-bottom housecleaning of the state party’s leadership. Party chairman Don Huffman and the Republican Party of Virginia staff in Richmond are natural targets of the finger pointing, which is likely to continue. Yet there are some cooler heads within state Republican ranks who, while acknowledging the undisputed value of leadership, believe the road to future victory lies in a return to fundamentals that made the party strong and prosperous in the last decade. Typical of such Republicans is William J. “Bill” Vakos, a Fredericksburg-area lawyer and developer with strong ties to former U.S. Senator Paul S. Trible and other influential party officials. Vakos is being suggested in some quarters as a potential replacement for Huffman, should the Roanoke lawyer step down. The party element typified by members like Vakos feel the Virginia GOP has “to look within itself to discover who we are and what we want to be.” They think the waning fortunes of state Republicans in the 1980s has resulted from a combination of a renewed Democratic hard-headed pragmatism and the increasing tendency of the GOP rank and file to fail to recognize that the ultimate goal of any political party is to elect its candidates. In the ’70s the Virginia Democratic Party seemed hopelessly fragmented into warring camps. Liberals, moderates and conservatives were too busy fighting for party control to concentrate their fire on the Republicans. But that changed when Richard Davis became party chairman late in the 1970s, after three Republican governors had been elected. Old Dominion Politics Much more so than the Republicans, the Virginia Democratic Party remains a curious amalgam of individuals and groups with agendas that are often poles apart. And yet Davis, Charles Robb and others convinced these various elements that the party tent was broad enough to hold all of them and that winning was a lot more fun and gave everyone much more power than losing. So when the factions on the lfeft and right tacitly agreed to converge toward the moderate center as a matter of compromise, the party, which had seemed as shattered as Humpty Dumpty, put itself back together. The result is the Democratic lock on key statewide offices and significant General Assembly majorities. That arrangement allows liberal and conservative Democrats in the legislature, with little in common except their party designation, to go at each other’s throats after they have worked in common cause to win elections. Republicans like Vakos don’t think the GOP umbrella should be as all-encompassing as the Democratic umbrella, for fear it' might sacrifice principle to expediency. But they do strongly advocate that all those who share the Republican belief in limited, government, free enterprise and fiscal integrity stop squabbling over arcane rules and intra-party control and concentrate their energies on Democrats. Vakos and others contend the Democratic blend of oil and water is broad but basically shallow. It has resulted, they say, iri a cynical arrogance of power that puts party above principle and has resulted in a sharp divergence from Virginia’s traditional moorings of fiscal responsibility and limited government. State spending in the 1980s, they argue, has far outpaced inflation, taxes have risen dramatically and WELCH'S CLEANING } SERVICE is offering the following: CARPET CLEANING JANITORIAL SERVICE WINDOW WASHING ^ For Prompt, Courteous and Professional Service Call 636-4866 WHY BUILD YOUR OWN HOME?

Call (703)349-8247 Warren to: the bureaucracy has been continually expanded. For the first time, they add, pork-barrel spending for pet projects of Democratic legislators has been prevalent as the Democratic majority took on the free spending coloration of their national counterparts. Vakos is disturbed by what he sees as a tendency of some GOP legislators to withold criticism from Democratic legislators while “accepting the crumbs” that may fall their way. Since Democrats are in control, the fear of some Republicans is that without Democratic help they can’t get any of their legislation passed or budget funds for folks back home. But, say Vakos and others, by standing up for principle against the irresponsible practices of the Democratic majority, Republican legislators can earn respect and admiration of the people. They think GOP legislators who indulge them selves with “collegial” attitudes toward Democratic legislators fail to recognize “the Democrats aren’t their friends. They want to have it their own way.” The bottom line, say those Republicans who call for an inward look, is that the Republican Party of Virginia must emphasize the traditional virtues of fiscal prudence and limited government while offering practical and efficient programs to cope with modern-day problems in transportation, education, health care and other things that concern average Virginians. And that, they add, will take a sense of unity and purpose Republicans have not demonstrated in recent years. John Gootrick, a former political reporter, is an aide to Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his own.

The suggested ordinance was brought before the governing body at the regular December meeting on the 5th and was presented by the local Water and Sewerage Authority. Ten girls of the Rappahannock Cadettes completed their First Aid badge under the instruction of Eddie Clark of Flint Hill. The entire troop has made a study of Citizenship and World Heritage.

"EXPECTATION.” "HOPE." Such cheerful words! Yet our lives are filled with thwarted 'expectations', unfulfilled 'anticipations' and dashed 'hopes'. We know the feeling of a future "good" that was deficient and did not afford us the happiness we desired and expected. Perhaps some of us have become pessimistic, even cynical, because our wishes were not granted. Reflect now: there is a vast difference between our expectations for earthly satisfactions, and our hope for our spiritual future. Here is the "hope" on which we prayerfully concentrate during this "great season of Advent." We join the Patriarchs and the Prophets in this period of eagerly awaiting the fulfillment of the expectation of all nations. Simeon rejoiced when at last he saw his dream fulfilled; let us rejoice with him at this time of God's coming to us in Jesus the Christ, our Savior. He came, and remains with us: Love Incarnate. He was and is forever: Hope fulfilled. He is all we need now and forever. So we relive the happy anticipatory days before the lovely Feast of Christmas. We pray as we celebrate the Birth of the Child in Bethlehem; we pray as we await His coming to us: "Come, Lord Jesus! Come and set us free from our sinfulness. Amen." A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Rev.

I IlNLWViit I ChartoMovMt I •OVT71-4777 I Ten steps to success with live trees By TOMMY WILLIAMS Extension Agent, Agriculture (1) Buy your tree as early as possible to obtain best selection. (2) Don’t go for the biggest tree. All trees will likely have the samesized ball of earth. The smaller tree therefore has a proportionately larger ball of earth. (3) Store in cool shady area until brought into the house. (4) Trees are heavy. A 6 foot tree with a 20 inch ball of earth can weigh up to 200 pounds. This weight requires two people to handle the load; indoors, movement can be accomplished by sliding the tree on a throw rug. (5) A tree stand is not required, The bottom of the ball is usually flat and you can wedge magazines or a board under the side of the ball to level the tree. The tree can be set on the floor or in a decorative container. (6) A large trash bag around the ball allows the tree to be watered without contact to carpet or floor.

Soak soil around the root ball thoroughly. Loosen the burlap from around the trunk, but do not remove burlap from the ball; it will decompose naturally in the soil and roots may be damaged in removal. Any twine surrounding the trunk should be cut. If the ground is frozen, keep the tree in cool, shady area until the ground is thawed. If this period becomes lengthy, the plant may need ~ water (weekly) throua/nout the winter.

Placing a tree in a warm house in the middle of the winter and subsequently returning the tree to the winter environment is considerably more stressful than normal transplanting. This is further complicated by the fact tjtiat the ball may be undersized (rulie of thumb for standardsized ball is 10 inches of ball diameter for 1 inch of thrunk diameter, measured three to four inches above the ground). ( Nurseries make every effort to supply a quality tree at a reasonable price, but due to the many and unique factors required for proper care of. a live Christmas tree, most do not guarantee survival.

Amissville correspondent returns It s great to be back after five months; I deeply appreciate the prayers of everyone and am doing much better. During this period we have seen history being made with the partial destruction of the Berlin Wall and crumbling of communism in many countries; we’ve also witnessed two great disasters, the destruction caused by Hurricane Hugo in the Carribean and the Carolinas and the Northern California earthquake. We are reminded of the Armenian earthquake a year ago last Sunday, in which 25,000 died and today 500,000 are still homeless. May we count our blessings this holiday season and help those less fortunate. The retirement luncheon held in Alexandria, Nov. 30, for Dr. Marv Atkirts, Deputy Director of the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), turned out to be more of a reunion, thanks to the efforts of his personal assistant Mary Ann Bennett, whose efforts were also publicly recognized by the director, Major General Watson. I attended the luncheon of over 100 guests and was delighted to see many with whom I had worked as personal assistant-secretary, including Lt. General Harry Griffith and Vice Admiral Bob Monroe, former DNA directors. Seeing so many friends with whom I had worked from 1959 to 1981 was almost overwhelming. Also in attendance was Betty Marcellino, with whom I began my career at DNA on June 29, 1959. Betty works in the director’s office. There were so many friends too numerous to mention, but it was great to see everyone.

But the key to these benefits is to select the right tree and plant it in the right place, according to the National Arbor Day Foundation, r An illustrated easy-to-use guide ‘Called ‘The Right Tree for the Right Place” has been prepared for home [owners. It can be obtained free of [charge by writing The National Ar;bor Day Foundation, j The guide describes environmen tal factors to consider in selecting your trees, including temperature, moisture, light and soil conditions, and other factors such as pests and air pollution. Factors such as the tree’s purpose need to be considered as well. If a tree’s purpose is to provide shade, tall wide-crown deciduous trees are best. The guide points out that you should plan for where you want the shade during the hottest time of the year and the time of day you desire the shade. Because the sun is located overhead during the summer, for example, shade trees planted to the south side of a building are generally less effective than those planted to the east and west.

Food processor performs many tasks By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics A food processor turns ordinary meals into haute cuisine . . . everything from one-dish snacks to full-, course feasts! It kneads dough, mixes dressings and batters, slices meats and vegetables, shreds cabbage, grates cheese and onions and chops nuts! And it also blends and purees! The main attraction of a food processor is that it can be a timesaver when you know how to make the best use of it. But it will require spending some time getting to know your machine and learning what it i can do. Basic parts Food processors differ from one another in many respects, but they all have certain basic parts in common. These include the motor base which supplies the power. It can be direct-drive, in which case the motor is usually directly below the bowl or belt, which is usually beside or behind the work bowl. The work bowl holds the food processing. It can be clear or tinted plastic. Clear is preferable, in order to better see the product you are preparing. The cover has a vertical chute called the feed tube. The pusher fits inside the feed tube and is used to guide food into the rotating disks. All food processors have a minimum of three or more cutting discs. The steel blade is used for chopping, pureeing, mixing and kneading. It is the cutting disc used most often. Use the on-off or pulse switch to avoid over-processing. Food processors also contain a slicing disc or discs, which can be various sizes, and a shredding disc which is used for grating. Some food processors also contain accessory pieces like a plastic blade which is used for mixing and blending when no chopping is required, such as for dips, salad dressings, sauces and cake mixes. How much to process Check the owner’s manual to determine the amount your processor will hold. If it isn’t given, use a liquid measuring cup to determine how much your work bowl will hold without overflowing. Some bowls are marked with a fill line. The thickness of a mixture affects the amount that can be processed. Thin mixtures such as soups splatter easily and are usually limited to twq cups. Thick mixtures such as batters can be processed in larger amounts, usually 4 cups maximum. Therefore, recipes calling for more than 3 cups of flour must be halved. These guidelines apply to most food processors. Some manufacturers are now making food processors with a larger-capacity work bowl in response to consumers’ requests. Tasks performed The food processor performs many food-preparation tasks, including chopping. Chop a maximum of 2 cups of food at one time. Chop only 1/2 pound or one cup of meat cubes at one time. To chop dried fruit, sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of flour over fruit before processing. Be sure to subtract this amount of flour from the amount called for in the recipe.

HOME ECONOMICS best for soft or medium-firm foods like apples, onions and mushrooms. Pureeing: To puree, place steel blade in work bowl, then add food. Place cover on and let run until food is; smooth. Stop occassionally and scrape down sides of work bowl. It is usually not necessary to add liquid to the work bowl when pureeing. Mixing: The food processor has a few lim-, itations. It will not perform all the tasks that the electric mixer can, such as beating egg whites and whipping cream. When you are creaming or mixing it is not necessary to bring butter, margarine or cream cheese to room temperature before processing. Simply quarter or cube it before putting through food chute. threading: Use the steel blade to knead bread or pastry dough. Never use more than 3 cups of flour. To avoid a tough product, never process more than 60 seconds. If the motor should slow down, immediately stop machine and add 1-2 tablespoons flour to work bowl. This should free, dough from blades, and motor, should return to normal speed. Grating: Softer cheeses, such as Ameri-' can, cheddar, mozzarella and swiss,. should be well chilled or partially' frozen before processing. To partially freeze cheese, place in freezer for approximately two hours before' processing. Hard cheese, such as parmesan or Romano, should be at. room temperature before processing. Uncooked meat should ' be; trimmed, boned and partially frozen, on a cookie sheet until firm but not> solidly frozen, before processing. Slicing: Cut pieces into uniform size and’ stack in feed chute, making a snug fit, and insert the top of the feed tube. Cut foods like carrots, bananas, and pickles into lengths 2 1/2 inches to 3 inches long and stack in feed tube. Medium-to-large-size foods, such as cucumbers and zuc-. chini, must be halved vertically before being placed in feed tube. Jobs food processor will not do The food processor is not designed to incorporate air into foods as the mixer does. Therefore, it will not beat egg whites or whip cream. It is not designed to make mashed or whipped potatoes, although it will puree cooked Irish or sweet potatoes to use in casseroles. Recipes for food processor Cranberry-banana bread 1 cup pecans 1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cram berries 1 large fully ripe banana, cut up 2 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup butter, cut into pieces 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup milk legg 2 1-inch strips orange peel (cut with vegetable peeler) 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt rlace steel blade in work bowl; add pecans.

Process with 3 on-off turns or just till flour disappears. Do not overmix.

Mr. Luke and Sheriff Woodward agreed that civil law would be involved also. “Civil could be a problem too,” Mr. Estes said. “We may have to have a zoning category for land that is in the Park. Our building codes would apply up there too.” Mr. Luke said, “As it is now, Federal law says they have to comply with local law if it is more strict.” He said that only one person is now living in that part of the Park which is in Rappahannock County. Sheriff Woodward explained that the only taxes the county could collect would be for dog tags and motor-vehicle stickers. “We may come back and say we want a resolution against this, he added. “It would be alright if they would give us the power to tax their real estate,” Mr. Estes said. The board approved Sheriff Woodward’s request to purchase recording equipment to tape calls coming into the county dispatch office, which handles both law enforcement and fire and rescue incidents. The sheriff explained that he had applied for a grant and had received one for $17,705. “My part to pay is 11 percent,” he said. He said he had had to request bids to go in as part of his grant request and that after he received the grant he had again requested bids. For $1,400- more, he told the board members he could purchase “the best, most up-to-date model,” a 9000 series recording system from Dictaphone which costs $22,521. He explained that it would handle up to 20 phone lines coming in and would run for up to 24 hours at a time. He said he plans to keep the tapes for one month and then “rotate them over” if they were not needed for evidence in court. Sheriff Woodward said that with six phone lines and four radio frequencies, ten lines were already committed. “You need 20 lines,” he said. He explained that his budget could cover the extra $1,400. “Is this compatible with 911?” Mr. Estes asked. The Sheriff said it would be. The board also learned that up to $100,000 was included in the Department of Correction’s budget to re imburse Rappahannock County for the state’s 50-percent share for the jail addition. Mr. McCarthy said that he expected final approval from the state for the plans for the addition in several weeks, but that construction cannot start until spring. Mr. McCarthy said the bid process could start as soon as the plans were approved. “This will allow a longer bid season,” he said. “We can have more meetings with contractors during the bid process.” The county will receive its reimbursement from the state when the state certifies that the addition is completed satisfactorily, he explained. The supervisors also considered the perennial issue of the boundary line between the Town of Washington and Rappahannock County. “Mr. Smoot’s grandchildren will be grown and have children of their own before this is over,” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham commented. Town resident Claybert Smoot originally brought the matter to the attention of the supervisors because with the new town boundary he does not have enough land in the town for a house lot which he wants for his daughter. He maintains that he did have enough land with the old boundary, which was changed when the town was rechartered in 1984. Both the town and the county have agreed that landowners with lots which straddle the line could choose to let town zoning prevail on portions of their land in order to create a building lot which meets minimum lot sizes, but neither body has yet adopted ordinances to accomplish this. Mr. Luke said he will meet with town attorney Frank Reynolds to draw up suitable ordinances. Then both bodies must hold public hearings before the ordinances can be adopted. The supervisors agreed to hold their hearing jointly at the time of Washington’s Town Council meeting. “You may have to make some decisions,” Mr. Luke said. He explained that since the town wants the Architectural Review Board to have jurisdiction over anything built on the straddle lots, the county will have to go through the process of adopting a Historic District Ordinance. “The town has no authority outside the town,” he said. “You will have to adopt an overlay district for the straddle lots and incorporate by reference the town’s ordinances.” “The biggest problem is extending ARB jurisdiction into the YEAR END SAVINGS ON FARM SUPPLIES FROM YOUR 1 STOP FARM & HOME SUPPLIER 7 BAR HEAVY DUTY TUBULAR GATES 12' $41.00 14' $54.70 16' 57.70 ALL POLYEYTHLENE SHEETING IN STOCK 10% OFF V. 4 & 6 MIL-20-40 X 100 FOOT ROLLS Keystone Red Brand FIELD FENCE 1047-6-11 $112.00/roll 12V&GA $37.00/r o 11 Ruthless Barbed Wire 151/6GA.

Mr. Luke explained that the problem could not be resolved by a point-to-point survey like the last one. “You would have to go all the way around the town, doing a complete survey of all the lots,” he said. The supervisors agreed to hold an extra meeting at noon, Dec. 22, to go over Mr. Luke’s and Mr. Reynold’s proposed ordinance amendments. When the supervisors finally got around to paying the county’s bills, Clerk Diane Bruce explained that she had left the amounts blank for some bills she knows are coming. She explained that when the first Monday of the month, the regular date for the supervisors’ meeting, is particularly early, often bills have not been received in time to be included. Then the supervisors can’t approve them until the following month. “We’re paying a lot of finance charges,” she said. She asked the supervisors to approve paying the bills in advance. “I hate to see the county get the reputation for being delinquent all the time,” Col. Bingham commented. The board members agreed that the checks could be paid for amounts up to $2,000, but that Chairman Hubert Gilkey must also approve any expenditures over $1,000. “If Hubie is going to pay all the bills up to $2,000, we don’t need to see all of this,” Hampton District representative Mike Massie saidf\ The vote to pay the bills was 4-1, with Mr. Massie voting “Nay.” “We have some that don’t have amounts on them, so we’re approving blank checks,” Mr. Massie said, explaining his vote. In other action, the supervisors: • agreed to hold the January meeting Wednesday, Jan. 3. The date was changed because New Year’s falls on the regular first Monday meeting date. • learned that the six-year road plan will be up for public hearing at the January meeting, and that a copy of the improvements scheduled is posted in Mr. McCarthy’s office. • approved Potomac Edison’s application for a special-exception permit to enclose all their property at the Sperryville substation with a chain link fence, with the provision that evergreens be planted to screen the fence. • learned that an agreement has been reached to serve the people on Oden Avenue, a short dead-end road off Piedmont Avenue on the west side of Washington. The county will provide a culvert, and the highway department will install it. • appointed Mr. Anderson as Rappahannock’s representative to the Rappahannock River Basin Advisory Committee of the State Water Control Board. Keep safety on holiday list Each year thousands of families mark the holidays as a time of tragedy instead of joy, due to deadly fires. The real tragedy is that most of these fires can be prevented. The Virginia Department of Emergency Services offers the following checklist to help you and your family enjoy a happy and safe holiday season. Decorative Lights Electrical fires occur throughout the year, but during the holidays they increase sharply. Don’t overload your outlets and circuits. Most of us use the same Christmas lights year after year. Check them carefully each year and repair or replace those with worn or frayed cords. Also, use care when placing these decorations, especially in windows where curtains can ignite easily. It’s best not to leave dec orative lights on all night. You can buy a relatively inexpensive timer which will turn your lights on and off automatically. Candles Candles should be carefully placed and never left unattended. Burning candles op a Christmas tree is very dangerous, even if you stay in the room. Trees dry out quickly and can ignite before you are able to take action. If you buy an artificial tree, be sure it is flame-resistant. Remember, these trees only resist fire; ultimately they will bum. Also, the fumes generated by a smoldering artificial tree can be just as deadly as an actual fire. Finally, if you don’t have a smoke detector, get one. If you have one, make sure it works. Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR GIFT AS DEPOSIT If you’ve been searching for a real estate loan, you know that a bank considers any loan you already have as a minus. It’s not considered as an asset, but as a debt that must be repaid. However, what if the cash on hand is a gift? Say you are fortunate enought to thave aprents who want to help you buy the home you’ve always wanted. They offer to make you a gift of $20,000 to go toward the deposit. In this case, you are fortunate in two ways. Under present tax laws, each parent is allowed to give a child $10,000 ($20,000 for both parents)as a gift without the child having to declare it as income. In approving a loan, the bank will look to the value of the property, the amount of the downpayment, how the downpayment funds were acquired and your ability to repay the loan. As long as you submit a letter with your application that the money from your parent is a gift and not a loan, most lenders will accept the money as a downpayment. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, Va. 22747. Phone 675-3033. We’re here to help.

ARB Continued from page 1 “However,” she added, “our panel of advisors can give advice on. plans or designs.” The advisors serve without pay, but requests for consultations must be made through a member of the ARB. “Residences have to be lived in,” Mrs. Willis said. “We have to allow additions. They have to grow throughout the years.” Addressing public buildings, Mrs. Willis questioned how the requirement for handicapped access could be met without compromising the historic features of the building. She cited as an example the present Town Hall, which will eventually be converted into county offices, and would have to be accessible to the handicapped. Architect Whayne Haffler, who was appointed to the board last month, acknowledged the problem but added “handicapped access is such a strong driver it is almost impossible to fight.” Mr. Haffler suggested that the ARB members look at the town as a whole, rather than as a group of individual buildings. That is a point of view, he explained, “that almost all ARBs talk about. It is not just indi vidual buildings, it is the historic character and the visual fabric of the entire town.” ARB member Patrick O’Connell observed “there is no purity in the town, so it’s impossible to keep it pure. If you do you end up imitating the courthouse and the library, and that becomes artificial and stultifying.” “How do we draw the line?" Mrs. Willis asked. “Look at the jail,” Mr. Haffier answered. “It is a stunning period piece which ought to be preserved. There are other houses which could be added to.” He pointed to Mrs. Willis's Mount Prospect Farm, “an unusual, beautiful house, but not a unique piece of architecture." Mrs. Willis suggested that the board consider a list of buildings in town “which ought, if at all possible, be preserved — those that everybody in town agrees that we ought to take special care with." However, Mr. O'Connell cautioned, “the board ought to be open to the possibility that something contemporary can be built which is superior to anything which has gone before.” He added that, to his eye, one of the strengths of the town is its lack of fixed identity. “But it does have a special character," Mrs. Willis interjected. “Its most appealing aspect is its Snow Continued from page 1 in as soon as snow began to fall. Those secondary roads are the ones which cause the biggest headaches for Dr. Gangel. With slick, slippery surfaces hidden by a hardpack of snow on top, the lonely dirt roads are particularly dangerous for buses, Dr. Gangel explained. “It’s one thing to drive them in a car, when you can keep your speed up and prepare for hills and curves.” Buses, on the other hand, have regular stops which are often located on grades and near curves. And, the difficulty of manuevering a large vehicle on the narrow roads is another problem. With the “miles and miles” of dirt roads in the county, “we have some problems which are almost unique,” Dr. Gangel said. “There are not many counties which have any perspective of what we have to do.” Some bus routes, like those in Harris, Gid Brown and Old Hollows, are almost completely on secondary dirt roads. The decision to cancel school is always difficult, Dr. Gangel added, due to the “iffy” nature of winter weather. He explained that he confers with transportation supervisor Allie Huff, checks the latest forecasts from the National Weather Service, calls people in various areas of the county for local road condition reports, and often drives selected areas of the roads himself. If possible, Dr. Gangel said, the decision will be made by 6 p.m. the night before. If not, conferences begin shortly after 4 a.m. with an eye toward a decision by 6 a.m. If school is closed, an announcement is made over about a dozen radio stations in the area (see chart, page 14). Often, Dr. Gangel added, he confers with superintendents in surrounding counties to get some idea of conditions which might affect the county’s fringe areas. Though the county instituted a delayed opening policy to try to minimize the necessity of closing school completely. Dr. Gangel said that, so far,, that option has not even been a consideration. The conditions have just been too bad, he said, although that option will be used, if possible, in the future. As of mid-week, Dr. Gangel said, no decisions have been made about how additional snow days will be made up. Possibilities, he said, include paring additional days off the Christmas and spring vacations, eliminating in-service days, extending the school year beyond its scheduled end in early June, and scheduling classes on Saturdays. “It's the superintendent’s discretion about how' to make up the days," Dr. Gangel said. “We have a number of options. There’s been no decision made a this point *— until we get into the need there’s no sense in committing to specifics.” Virginia State Police reported a number of minor “fender-bender” accidents, but no serious injuries due to the recent winter storms. The police urge that motorists stay off the roads unless travel is essential, and to use extreme care when driving on all roads. At night, particularly, icy patches may not be visible until the vehicle is right up on top of it and it is too late to stop. And snow which melts on back roads often freezes during the night, leaving sheer ice under the packed snow surface. Both conditions are extremely dangerous, even for heavy vehicles and four-wheel drives. LAND-BUILDING LOTS Can’t find the perfect house for you?

We can preserve that . . . using advisors will help that, but it won’t be easy.” Mrs. Willis asked Donna Kevis and Mr. Parrish to review the handbook used by Winchester’s ARB with an eye toward adapting it for use in Washington. She added that the board has been working toward a goal of compiling a list of “by-right” paint colors, lighting fixtures, fencfes and other items which would be approved by the board without question. That list, along with photos and illustrations of the approved items, would be available to applicants, who would then be assured of approval for their proposed project if they selected products from that list. Mr. Haltler also pressed ior an amendment to the ordinance which would require the submission of a mass model, a scale reproduction of the existing structure plus the proposed project, for any major addition or new construction. "I don’t see how you can,” Mr. O’Connell agreed. “It would be a real hardship for some people,” Mrs. Kevis added. “It might not be appropriate for most projects in Washington,” Mrs. Willis said, “but it is appropriate for some projects.” She suggested that the board might amend the ordinance to reserve the right to require a mass model if the ARB feels it is needed for a specific project. Mr. Haffler also suggested that each applicant submit 10 copies of all architectural drawings. Again noting the cost of reproducing architectural drawings, the board finally set seven as a reasonable requirement for applicants to meet. Spirit Continued from page 1 and Amissville Baptist Churches — provide food boxes, fruit baskets and flowers for elderly residents and others with need. “It’s a joyous pleasure to see their faces,” Ruritan member Charlie Priest said of the basket recipients. “Sometimes they are real surprised to see you, sometimes they are waiting,” he said, adding that the drive, supported by the Ruritan’s annual sale of Benson Christmas fruitcakes in Sperryville and through club members, has been continuous for more than 20 years. “It’s more than just fruit baskets,” he said with pride. “We spend some time with each of the people. Whether they are in a nursing home or at home, they enjoy it. Their faces just light up when we come in.” With box or basket cost, the assembly — usually done by Hackley’s Store in Amissville — and delivery time considered, the Ruritans find themselves busy elves a week before Christmas, bringing cheer to more than 50 of their neighbors in nursing homes, families or those alone over the holidays. A special delivery, such as the type the Ruritans offer, brings a heartwarming feeling to Christmas — the feeling of caring. Social Services representative Marie Davis knows this feeling. After years of participating with the Social Services vegetable and fund drive, the county’s care for fellow men is evident. “Last year we even had a lady give Christmas trees,” Mrs. Davis Radio, TV stations announce closings A decision to close school will be announced through the stations listed below.

Day Realtors The Clopton House Washington, Virginia December 15,1989 4 to 7:30p.m. said, explaining that the woman — who chose to remain anonymous — cut each tree and donated them to county families in need. Each year, the Rappahannock County Social Services office conducts a food and fund drive for area needy. This year is no exception. “We are on the drive now,” Mrs. Davis said, adding that contributions are needed to make this year’s campaign as successful as those in the past years. The office is accepting any canned or non-perishable goods for distribution Dec. 22. Perishable items — such as meat, dairy products or fresh foods —,are accepted, but the office personnel asks donors to refrain from bringing them to the office until distribution day. “We’ve no place to store them” Mrs. Davis said, adding that if anyone is interested in donating a turkey or the like, he or she should contact the office so donated funds do not reproduce the same item. Donated items are divided up and sent to families the office feels meets the need requirement. “With some of the money donated, we buy a few things to make the box of food complete,” Mrs. Davis said, adding that the rest of the funds are divided among the county’s foster parents to provide a small supplement for holiday gifts. This year the county’s foster program is one of the largest. “We try to give each family about $50,” Mrs. Davis said, adding that with more than 15 foster children in the county this year, it may be hard to meet that goad. This year, individual donations are down, she added. “We have large donations from the Espiscopal Church Women of Bromfield Parish and our usual donation from the Rappahannock Lions Club,” Mrs. Davis said, but the balance remains far below last year’s amount of close to $1,000. “Unless we have some coming in at the last minute,” Mrs. Davis said, the office’s past successes will not be matched. Those interested in donating food items or money should contact the Social Service office at 703-675-3313. “If no one is in the office, someone will come and meet the donor,” Mrs. Davis said, adding that Rappahannock County High School and Wakefield School both provide collection boxes for non-perishable items, also. “It will all depend on the generosity of the community,” Mrs. Davis said of the drive’s outcome, explaining that each year the results are different and each year the need increases. “We get no funding for this. We rely totally on the community’s charity.” Charity is one thing there seems to be enough of at Christmas. Charity is what makes “Support the People” so successful. For the third year, Support the People plans a clothing, toy and household-item giveaway. HARRIS HOLLOW l. 2 A.C. and 1.75 ac. with 3 bedroom perk.

In the past, Rappahannock has worked with a Culpeper 4-H club and leader to provide items to those in need. This year, Rappahannock Brownies, juniors and cadets, the Rappahannock Horse and Pony Club, The Baptist Young Women and April Heddleston’s Sunday School class under the direction of Peggy Banker and Janet Smoot tackle the responsibility alone and exemplify the idea of giving with the Support-the-People giveaway. Organizer and Culpeper 4-H leader Brenda Knoll said the first year, the community response to Support the People was tremendous. “The first year we collected items and through Social Services provided items to those in need,” Mrs. Knoll said of the program’s beginning, explaining that with help from the Rappahannock Horse and Pony Club and Culpeper Heads-Up Club, those in need were helped. The second year, Mrs. Knoll found herself deluged with items, filling her family room. “I thought, why not let people just come get what they want,” she said. Anussvme v oiunieer r ire department provided the space, and the donated items filled 10 tables. Those in need were able to come and chose items they wanted at no charge. “We washed the clothes and cleaned up the toys and other items with help from the Brownies and Girl Scouts,” and the meaning of Christmas — the gift of giving — was exhibited to “anyone who’s seen hard times,” Kndll said. This year Rappahannock’s Support-the-People giveaway is 10 a.m.3:30 p.m., this Saturday, Dec. 16, in the Washington Fire Hall. County Scouts, church women and youngsters will act as elves, assisting people with selection as items are given away to anyone with need. “We’ve had a pretty good response this year,” organizer Peggy Banker said of the project. Mrs. Banker, with help from her colleague Janet Smoot, have picked up items from all over the county. Boxes outside the fire station have been drop points for other items. ‘We’ve cleaned up the items and wrapped the toys,” Mrs. Banker said, adding the group is nearly ready for Saturday’s giveaway. Santa will make a visit at 1 p.m., and county Scouts plan to spread the festive cheer after a successful giveaway with caroling through the Town of Washington.
