Currie THIS FAMILIAR SCENE at Hackley's Store in Amissville may soon vanish if new regulations force the county’s general stores to remove their gasoline storage tanks. Small stores see limited options in face of stringent regulations By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Most of the country stores around Rappahannock County haven’t seen much change through theyears. Many stores haven’t had an exterior facelift, much less changed owners. They remain the community gathering place where local folks can drop in for a gallon of milk, a quick snack or soda, a friendly chat with neighbors and a fill-up from the gas pumps for the trip home. But things are changing at the old general stores. Those familiar gasoline pumps out front may become a thing of the past. “We’ve already dug up our Second in a series tanks,” Castleton Store owner Doris Dennis said sadly, adding that since the store has been owned by her husband Robert’s family, gasoline pumps have been part of the general store’s service. A law passed by Congress back in 1984 is changing all that. According to the law, which was amended in 1986, the Environmental Protection Agency was required to establish guidelines and regulations to protect human health and the environment from the potential hazards of leaking underground fuel storage tanks — the same tanks which store gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel and heating oil at large, urban service stations, truck stops and the thousands of rural country stores across the United States. The motivation behind the legislation was admirable: to protect people and the environment from possible contamination of soil used for livestock and cropland and, most, importantly, groundwater supplies used for drinking, especially in rural areas where well water is generally used without purification. But the practical effect of the regulations will be to force many of the small fuel distributors and retail outlets out of business. See TANKS, p. 12 Cable TV company's service gets generally favorable responses By SHARON KILPATRICK and LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writers Adelphia Cable Communications Inc., which applied to the county’s Board of Supervisors to submit a proposal for a cable franchise, has been moving into more and more areas of Virginia since 1987. In November, 1987, Adelphia bought the MultiChannel T.V. Cable Company from the Samuel A. Horvitz Testamentary Trust. Multi-Channel owned and operated cable systems in Charlottesville, Staunton, Waynesboro, and Martinsville. In February, 1988 Adelphia bought Commonwealth Program targets 'hard core' jobless By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County is the recipient of a $25,000 federal grant to establish a multi-faceted program to make long-term unemployed residents self-sufficient. Social Services Director Beverly Bowen said the program, which is a joint effort of the Social Services departments in Rappahannock, Madison and Culpeper counties, is one of the first of its kind in Virginia. In the past, she said, efforts to help these so-called “hard core” unemployed, Mrs. Bowen said, have been a “band-aid approach” and were generally unsuccessful. Though some efforts resulted in short-term success for the participants, over time most of them slipped back into the cycle of unemployment and dependence on public welfare programs. This program, the director said, is a “total, comprehensive approach. The goal at the end is for these people to hold down a real good job.” And, in the process, they break the cycle of welfare dependency, becoming productive members of society and raising their own self-image as well, Mrs. Bowen added. The first group of seven clients, including one Rappahannock County resident, began classes in Culpeper two weeks ago. The first focus of the program, Mrs. Bowen said, is a joint effort with the Culpeper Literacy Council to improve the participants’ academic achievement levels. The joint program, which is funded through the federal Job Training Partnership Act of 1983 through the Piedmont Job Training Administration, provides day care and transportation to and from the training center in Culpeper, in addition to the classes in remedial studies, self-esteem and job skills. For more information about the joint job training program, contact the Rappahannock County Department of Social Services (675-3313). Cablevision Corporation and Allegheny Cable TV Inc. These added cable systems in Crimora, Elkton, Grottoes, Harriston, Luray, Mount Sidney, Shenandoah, Stanley and Weyers Cave. In April, 1989 Adelphia added the Mid-Atlantic Network Inc. and the Berryville TV Cable Company. These systems provide cable service to Winchester, Lexington, Buena Vista, Front Royal, Middletown, Berryville and Stephens City. Adelphia has also bought Richlands Cablevision which serves southwest Virginia. In Front Royal and Warren County the Chamber of See CABLE, p. 12 reversal of lot variance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals learned at its meeting last Wednesday that it is a defendent in a civil lawsuit . brought by Whippoorwill Associates, challenging its deci- . sion to grant a variance from setback requirements for a lot owned by William G. Roy on Route 626 in the Tiger Valley near Washington. The suit asks the Circuit Court to issue a writ of certiori to review the BZA’s decision and find that it will be necessary to take “additional evidence before a final decision is reached on the merits,” according to the brief filed by the plaintiff. At its November meeting, the BZA took testimony from J. Newbill Miller, who was acting as the real estate agent for Mr. Roy. Mr. Miller said that Mr. Roy was in poor health and wished to sell the property. Mr. Miller also introduced Kurt Gosman, who said he wanted to purchase the .77 acre triangular-shaped prop-’1' erty on which to build a house. In order to build and keep the prescribed distance from a stream running through the property, a reduction of 20 feet from either the front or rear setback requirements was necessary, Mr. Miller said. The BZA voted unanimously to grant the variance, giving Mr. Gosman the option to take the 20-foot variance from from the front or rear or a combination of both. The suit, filed by attorney Frank Reynolds on behalf of Whippoorwill Associates, claims that Mr. Roy may not have had clear title to the property, which had been owned by his family since the 1890s. Furthermore, Whippoorwill Associates was in the process of negotiating a land swap with Mr. Roy that would have made the variance unnecessary. Included in papers filed in support of the suit are: copies of deeds on the notes on various Roy heirs, copies See BZA, p.5 Scrabble may boast county's first golf club By SHARON KILPATRICK' Rappahannock News Staff Writer Will Rappahannock have a golf course and country club in the southern part of the county? It will, if Dr. and Mrs. Berkley Rish gain approval for their proposal from the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. They have applied for a special exception permit for a country club on a 138-acre parcel they bought on the east side of U.S. 522 between Woodville and Scrabble. The property, to be known as Fox Creek Country Club would have an 18-hole golf course, with nine holes to be put in as part of the first phase of construction and nine holes to be added later. The proposal also includes a clubhouse and lodge which would have 20 guest rooms for overnight accommodations and a dining room seating 50. The lodge, to be built of natural materials including log, cedar siding, and rock would also have an indoor pool and gymnasium. In addition the application asks for five house sites. He said it will be two years before the golf course opens. Fox Creek Country Club is envisioned as a combination of a private membership club and recreation facility for the public. Dr. Rish said. There will be special privileges for the lot owners, he said. Memberships will be available for others also with a membership cap, he suggested. Dr. Rish also said the lots and houses to be built on them may be sold on a “time share” basis.

Ginseng poacher pleads guilty A Madison County man was convicted recently for removing ginseng roots from Shenandoah National Park. Ralph Lee Dyer, 62, pleaded guilty to the charges stemming from an incident on Sept. 5, 1989, when he was arrested by rangers inside the Park after they found 113 ginseng roots in his possession. Park Superintendent J.W. Wade said, “illegal poaching of ginseng threatens its continued existence in the Park.” Ginseng is a rare plant and, when poachers take the root, the plant is killed and the species is prevented from reproducing. Dyer was charged with possession of ginseng in violation of the Lacey Act, a federal statute designed to provide protection for wild plants and animals. He was fined $250 and given a suspended one-year jail sentence. He was also banned from entering Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway for five years during his probationary pei^d. As part of .the plea agreement, he forfeited a rifle which he had with him when he was arrested.

Va 227<7 Telephone 703-675-3338 HOURS: 8 30 a m to 5 30 p.m. Mon -Fn Published by Arundel Newspapers Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1,1990 Editorial Cable concerns While we realize that most residents of the county are probably ecstatic about the prospect of cable television becoming available here, we think that County Administrator John McCarthy’s comments bear repeating. At this time, the cable television industry is not regulated by federal, state or local governments. Back in 1984, during the deregulation frenzy of the Reagan era, the cable industry was among those whose controls were removed. Since that time, local governments have had no say in the rate structure, service standards, technical specifications or other decisions made by the owners of cable systems. Prior to 1984, cable television was treated as a public utility, which had to justify the necessity of rate increases and service cutbacks — like the electric or telephone company. The companies’ books were a matter of public record, and though the product was entertainment, the distribution system was regulated like any other utility which enjoyed a service monolopy. Now, as Mr. McCarthy explains, localities have no power over the decisions of cable television companies in the establishment of rate structures, service standards and other matters. Many localities, to their chagrin, have signed multiyear franchise agreements with cable operators, only to see rates skyrocket later, or the company sold to another firm, which then institutes rate and service changes without any explanation. Too often, the motive has been higher profits for the company’s investors rather than better service for the cable consumer. However, there is legislation pending before the Congress which would reestablish local control over these matters. Mr. McCarthy feels that the legislation has a good chance of passage during this session of Congress, and said he favors waiting to see if the industry is, indeed, re-regulated before reaching any agreement with a company offering to serve Rappahannock County. We know that the residents of Rappahannock are anxious to enjoy this service. But we share Mr. McCarthy’s concerns, and echo his counsel for caution and thought before an agreement is signed which the county — and its residents — might later come to regret. I Commentary Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo'Cindy Mahan THE MORNING SUN casts sharp shadows in this view of Washington from the cemetery on the Fodderstack Road. Letters to the editor One way or the other To the editor: Inconsistency breeds inconsistency. You recently reported a story about some young men who were arrested for possessing alcoholic beverages. The young men are old enough to vote; they can enter into a contract; they can marry without their parent’s consent; and they can be drafted into the Armed Services. But, and this is the first inconsistency, they may not legally purchase or possess alcoholic beverages. The second inconsistency is that you reported their names. Their crime was only a crime because they were under age. Normally, the names of under age criminal defendants are kept confidential, both by the courts and the newspapers. Now, I believe that fear of public exposure deters crime. For that, and for other reasons, I favor publishing the names of criminals, both CENSUS TAKER adult and juvenile. I also believe that persons 18 and over should not be made second-class citizens because lawmakers carfrtot devise an effective way to deal with drunk drivers. Respectable arguments (though to me not convincing) can be made against these positions. But I doubt that anyone can fashion a logical argument that an 18-year-old should be treated as a juvenile with respect to alcohol but that what is then by definition a juvenile crime should be treated as though it were an adult one. Let’s have it one way or the other. W. MICHAEL MAHONEY Washington Editor’s note: The “inconsistency” Mr. Mahoney refers to is a result of the inconsistency of the age of adulthood in the criminal justice system, 18, and the legal age for possession and consumption of alcohol, 21. The names of defendants and proceedings in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, which deals with offenders less than 18 years of ages, are confidential. However, when a person reaches the age of 18, he is considered an adult and all criminal matters concerning him are matters of public record. Thanks again To the editor: Once again, the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League would like to thank the Rappahannock News for its help in placing our orphan dogs. Because of the picture of the Irish setter/retriever which ran in the Jan. 18 issue of the paper, the dog is now at home with his original owners. He was lost for six months before the owners saw the photo in the newspaper. Bravo, Mr. Hatter. MEMBERS OF RAWL , Washington Letters policy The Rappahannock News is your newspaper. We encourage our readers to express their feelings on matters of public concern. “Letters to the editor” provides a forum for your opinion. Letters should be concise and not exceed 250 words.

Letters may be mailed to the Rappahannock News, P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va. 22747, or delivered to the news office on Main Street, Washington. Subdivision questioned To the editor: Washington, Virginia is facing* the biggest issue in the Town’s history. The issues we should discuss and should have been discussing are the proposed plans for The Inn. What are the water and septic requirements for this project? How will they be met? Are the town’s planning laws so flawed that the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, the Subdivision Ordinance, and the Historic District Ordinance require major changes? Everyone of the planning laws has or will have to be waived, amended, or ignored to accommodate The Inn’s project. The revealed information and details are incomplete. The planning changes necessary to approve the project are being made one at a time. Technically this is correct. Tactically this is best for The Inn. Common sense requires that the total picture should be known by the town’s people before these decisions are made. One of the major decisions, the L.O.M.P. subdivision, has already been made. The speed with which the subdivision passed at Council amazed me. Some thoughts on the L.O.M.P. subdivision: A) Ihe Mayor, Dean Morehouse and a Council member Reinhardt Lynch, are part owners in the L.O.M.P. subdivision. B) A Council member disclosed a personal interest (did business with The Inn; the gross or net, not clear which, did not exceed $10,000) before voting; a fact you did not report in your news article about the council meeting. C) The Planning Commission recommended unamiously, by the members who voted, that the'subdivision not be approved. They also requested information required by the Subdivision Ordinance be submitted to them. < D) This required information was not submitted to the Planning Commission but was submitted directly to the Town Council by the Mayor. The Town Council did not review the information at the meeting before the subdivision was approved. E) The Council granted a variance from paragraph 6-8-1 (Subdivision Ordinance) which requires a primary and alternate drainfield site must be located on each lot of the subdivision. Three of the L.O.M.P. lots have off-site septic fields. The decision to grant this variance was made in effect, by the Council at a meeting before the Planning Commission hearing. A council member questioned why the Planning Commission would not approve this off lot septic variance as the Planning Commission was appointed by and worked for the council. F) The Subdivision Ordinance, paragraph 4-1-4, requires that “extraordinary” hardship to the developer is necessary before a variance to the ordinance requirements may be granted. The courts have held that financial reasons are not grounds for hardship. I did not hear the reasons for the extraordinary hardships discussed at the meeting. G) Soil types and drainage conditions on two or three lots appear not to be satisfactory for septic drain fields. Goal “M” in the town’s Comprehensive Plan is; “To make soil conditions including erosion control, building stability, and safe waste disposal a determining factor in land use decisions.” Was the county soil map considered? This soil map is incorporated in to the Comprehensive Plan by reference. Comprehensive Plan finding C, page 27, recognizes we have no public sewer system nor will there be one in the foreseeable future. H) Washington has considerable undeveloped areas where the soil types are not satisfactory for septic systems. As these areas are developed we have a very clear potential sewage problem. We must protect the soils and groundwater so that a public sewer system is not mandated by health officials. I) L.O.M.P. lot 7, .4181 acre and parcel A . 1422 acre were subdivided adding parcel A to an adjoining property. This violates the 1/2 acre minimum lot size required by the Zoning Ordinance. Paragraph 2-32 (page 4) of the Subdivision Ordinance does not allow a boundary line adjustment where the parcels created do not conform to the Zoning Ordinance. The last sentence states, “Provided, however, that if all the land divided and all the parcels created shall conform to the Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Washington, the following shall not be defined as a subdivision.” Since one of the parcels created L.O.M.P. lot 7, the residue of .4181 acre does not conform to the mimimum lot size in the -Zoning Ordinance (Par. 5-1 page 13) can the division be made as a boundary line adjustment? J) The Zoning Ordinance, Par. 56-5 (page 15), requires a variance to the Zoning Ordinance for the L.O.M.P. lots that cannot be approved for on-lot septic field reqirements before a building permit can be issued. Most if not all of the points raised . in this letter are valid considerations. I feel that many of these points were not considered. Land use decisions are complex and require detailed study to insure the correct decisions are made. Each individual public official is responsible for'his decision. These important decisions should not be delegated to others. The public hearing held Jan. 22 should leave no doubt in the Council’s mind that the people of Washington, Virginia do not want The Inn’s project approved.

'Chicken' practices true democracy in the Capitol snack bar By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer While the eyes of practically everyone else was focused on the main event, I had the luck to witness a jovial reunion during the inaugural day ceremonies in Richmond. Dignitaries had already started taking their places on the platform, with the noon starting time just ten minutes away, when former Virginia governors Albertis S. Harrison and Mills Godwin came into “Chicken’s” Snack Bar in the State Capitol in search of its proprietor, Louise Oliff. Mrs. Oliff, caUed “Chicken” because of the chicken salad sandwiches she has prepared nearly every day during her long tenure dating back to 1942, was elated when the two former chief executives entered the nearly empty snack bar and embraced her warmly. The three were all smiles as they swapped a few stories from times past. I thought it a shame, with all the media present, that no reporters Old Dominion Politics or photographers were there to capture the exchange that lasted for about five minutes. Years ago, Harrison and Godwin, like many future officials of great consequence in Virginia, had been obscure members of the legislature. During General Assembly sessions, they joined jam-packed crowds in Chicken’s and grabbed a sandwich or bowl of soup to eat on the run. Despite all those she’s known who rose to statewide office or went off to Congress, Mrs. Oliff has never lost her sense of perspective. Amid a plethora of Juimorous signsand old photograph®that dot thesnack bar’s walls, there is one I’ve always liked. It says: “It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.” And with a true democratic spirit,Mrs. Oliff and her helpers alwaysserve customers in order. The ordinary citizen receives the same consideration as a hungry lieutenant governor or state Senator or powerful lobbyist. “Chicken is a living legend,” said Theodore V. Morrison Jr. of NewportNews, once one of the House of Delegates’ most influential members and now a State Corporation Commission judge. “To her, all folks are equal. You just go in there and wait your turn.” It’s the kind of atmosphere that makes someone, returning briefly, wax nostaligic with the realization that despite the growth of state government, the informal goings on around the Capitol make you feel you’re back home again. Unlike the vast slow bureaucracy of Washington, where everything is BZA Continued from page 1 of letters written by Mr. Reynolds to Mr. Miller about a proposed land swap and covenants on the Roy property that Whippoorwill wanted to include in the deed that was to be drawn up for the land swap and would apply to the use of the Roy property. According to the suit, filed Dec. 22, 1989, Whippoorwill Associates “has been using for many years, as if it were its own, a portion of this property for access to the rest of’ Whippoorwill’s property. The letters indicate that Whippoorwill Associates was interested in trading the 20 feet needed to meetset back requirements to Mr. Roy for about 50 feet that would be needed to continue its access. In addition, Whippoorwill Associates wanted covenents placed on the Roy property that would guarantee that neither Mr. Roy nor any subsequent owner would allow “any unreasonable accumulation of trash, junk, refuse, garbage, unusable equipment or unusable automobiles on the property.” The covenants proposed would also have guaranteed that the property could only be used for residential or agricultural purposes. “No mobile homes, trailers, or other non-permanent types of dwelling (whether said non-permanent dwellings are permanently attached to the ground shall be allowed on theproperty, except as a temporary dwelling of a duration of not more than six months while a dwelling is being constructed on the property.” Whippoorwill Associates also wanted to guarantee that the dwelling to be constructed on the property be“compatible with the original construction of dwellings in the general vicinity” by requiring their approval of the home’s design prior to its construction. BZA members discussed the suit in closed session with County Administrator John McCarthy at the end of their January meeting. The BZA did not have to do much other work this month because all the applications before it had been withdrawn at the applicants’ request before the meeting. They did elect officers for the current year: L. G. “Butch” Zindel as chairman, Sidney Gottlieb as representative to the Planning Commission, and Ronald Tokash as vice chairman. Mr. Tokash was not present at the meeting. Outgoing Chairman Lee Bird said his term would be up in October, and he does not wish to be reappointed. The fifth member •fif the BZA, James Swindler Jr., also has a term that is over in October. H4' Was not present to say if he was interested in another term. When the nominations for officerswere first made by Mr. Zindel, he nominated himself for the Planning Commission seat and Mr. Gottlieb for chairman, but then he discovered that his position as president of the Ruritans conflicted with Planning Commission meetings, so he and Mr. Gottlieb switched positions for 1990. The BZA also approved a $3,800 budget for 1991, an increase of $500 over the current budget. Of the increase, $400 is for advertising, up from $1,500 this year to $1,900 next year, but this expense is covered by fees paid by the applicants. The only other increase was $100 for office supplies, up to $400 for next year from $300 this year. The application for the Spring Mountain School on Route 600 near Sperryville, and Reed Payne’s application for a pool/billiards amusement arcade at the garage site outside Washington, were withdrawn before the meeting. Robert Metcalfe’s application for renovation at the Flint Hill apple packing shed for apartments and commercial space was alsowithdrawn, but may be applied for again when plans are more certain, Mr. McCarthy said.

Simply put, we still have a parttime citizen legislature composed of people who spend most of their time at home earning a living in various occupations. They make laws in Virginia an average of seven weeks or so a year in Richmond; and even when they’re legislating, mingle freely with anyone who happens to be around for the proceedings on any given day. Maybe the little vignette involving Governors Harrison, Godwin and “Chicken” Oliff was overblown in my mind because I’d spent a quarter-century roaming the Capitol corridors as a newsman. Certainly, many more deals are cut in the stately rooms of the Commonwealth Club than Chicken’s, but it’s good to know that even those upon whom the people of the state have bestowed great power must stillstand in the same lines as other mortals when they enter the snack bar. I can still recall former Gov. Chuck Robb, now a U.S. Senator and potential future presidential candidate, waiting patiently, while lieutenant-governor, for a cup of cold milk and a tuna fish sandwich. And I’m sure if Sen. Robb became President and returned to the Capitol, he’d stop by to say hello to Chicken. I have a feeling, too, that! Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and the other Founding Fathers would approve of the kind of democracy practiced in Chicken’s snack bar.

Plus Satan will in these last days try even greater to deceive and destroy the people of God, before the return of Christ. I believe that God is restoring the body of Christ, from it's lukewarm state, to the place of Holy Zeal and strong convictions, that are based on the word of God. God is restoring His church from the inactive and passive attitude that we have had, to the place of strength and authority, so that we may be able to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. As we see the spiritual wickedness of Satan and his evil spirits trying to kill, steal, and destroy, we as believers must arise to meet these attacks, and through the blood and the name of Jesus, bring down the strongholds of the enemy, and establish the kingdom of God on the earth. It’s time for believer's everywhere to stand up, and be the voice of God in the earth, speaking the truth in love. Being vessels of honor that are fit for God's use and purpose in these last days, see I Timothy 2:19-22. I encourage every Christian who reads this article, to answer the call of God in these last days. Let us live for God with strong faith and conviction. Making ourselves available to Him for His use and purpose in this decade of the 1990's!

It's c alled the “Convertible Adjust ible Rate Mortgage". This is the answer for those who can't make* up their minds, this mortgage offers you the opportunity to convert the loan from an adjustable to a fixed rate instrument at almost any time you wish in the future with almost, no up front cost. With one of these loans, you can enjoy the* lower initial payments of an ARM although you run the* risk of the mortgage payment rising if in terest rates go up. The next time rates drop, you can refi nance the loan, that is, con vert it to a fixed rate by paying a small fee, usually SlOO to Sir,o on recent convertibles. Typically, there is a slight surcharge. usually about .25% on the contract interest rate at the time of conversion. You don't get something for nothing, but convertibles are a whole lot cheaper than refinancing at some future date.

Recipe swaps to reduce fat and cholesterol By HELEN W. SMITH Extcnako Afntt, Home Economics February is observed as National Heart Month throughout the United States by the American Heart Association. For more than 40 years, the American Heart Association has been waging war against heart disease by educating the public about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. This includes avoiding smoking, controlling high blood pressure, maintaining a low blood cholesterol level and being physically active. Incorporating these habits into your lifestyle will help prevent a heart attack. The American Heart Association has published two excellent cookbooks giving guidelines and recipes for healthy eating. They are the original cookbook, titled The Ameican Heart Association Cookbook, and the new AHA’s Low-Fat, LowCholesterol Cookbook published in 1989. We are fortunate that both of these books are available locally in our Rappahannock County Library. Both books contain a wealth of information on grocery shopping, eating out, and adapting recipes. For my news column this week, I would like to share with you the AHA’s recommendations for reduc■A HOME ECONOMICS ing the fat and cholesterol content of recipes and some substitutions you can make at home. If you are like many Americans, you or a member of your family may be on a low-fat or low-cholesterol diet. To reduce the saturated fat and cholesterol content of your own recipes, try these substitutes recommended by the American Heart Association. For best results, you may want to test your recipes as slight adjustments may be needed. For best results in baked goods where the recipe calls for creaming of the butter and sugar, you may find it nec essary to use a special margarine rather than liquid oil in place of butter. Substitute for Sour Cream When your recipe calls for sour cream, use low-fat cottage cheese blended until smooth or plain yogurt, or one can of chilled evaporated' skim milk whipped with one teaspoon of lemon juice. Substitute for Whipped Topping Non-dairy, prepared toppings are often made with coconut oil or palm kernel oil. Both are high in saturated fat and should be avoided. Both canned evaporated skim milk and nonfat dry milk can be whipped and are good substitutes.

It’s important to chill the evaporated skim milk and the bowl and beaters so it will whip to the consistency of whipped cream. Substitute for Chocolate Cocoa powder is low in saturated fat. In place of one one-ounce square of chocolate use three tablespoons of dry cocoa powder plus 3/4 tablespoon polyunsaturated oil or one tablespoon margarine. Substitute for Whole Milk Use skim milk products. One cup of skim milk plus two teaspoons liquid oil equals one cup whole milk. Also, one-half cup water plus 1/2 cup, skim milk plus two teaspoons liquid oil equals one cup whole milk. Also, one cup prepared non-fat dry milk plus two teaspoons liquid oil equals one cup whole milk. Substitute for Buttermilk When a recipe calls for buttermilk, use one cup lukewarm nonfat milk plus one tablespoon lemon juice to equal one cup buttermilk. Let the mixture stand for five minutes and beat briskly. Substitute for Cream Cheese When a recipe calls for cream cheese, you can make a substitute by blending four tablespoons of marga-' rine with one cup dry low-fat cottage cheese. Add a small amount of skim* milk if needed in blending mixture. Vegetables such as chopped chives or pimento and herbs and seasonings may be added for variety. Substitute for Butter When a recipe calls for butter* use a polyunsaturated margarine or oil. One tablespoon butter equals, one tablespoon margarine or 3/4 tablespoon oil. For recipes that require one cup butter or margarine^ use 3/4 cup liquid oil. ' Usually less oil is required irf cooking than butter, margarine or solid shortening. Try to use only, margarines at the table. Replace, butter, margarines, or solid shorten-1 ing with a recommended oil for all cooking and baking, when possible. Substitute for Eggs If your doctor has instructed you to cut down on cholesterol by limit-' ing the number of egg yolks you eat, here are some substitutes to use. In general, use two egg whites to equal one whole egg. Eight to 11 egg' whites equal one cup. One egg white' plus three teaspoons of a polyunsa-, turated oil equals one egg (the oil re-‘ places the non-stickiness of the yolk). In addition, check commercially" produced cholesterol free egg substitutes. These are sold under various' brand names. Use according to package directions. In some recipes, you can also use one tablespoon flour (or 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch) to equal the’ thickening power of one egg. The following recipe for Over-; night French Toast is one that I like; to make on weekends. To reduce ther fat and cholesterol in it, make these substitutions: Use egg substitute equivalent to two eggs; use skim milk in place of whole milk; use mard garine, not butter. Overnight French Toast , 2 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup milk 1 tablespoon orange juice 11/2 teaspoons sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 6 (3/4 inch thick) slices of French bread 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided Powdered sugar Combine first 7 ingredients; beat well. Set aside. Place bread in a single layer in a shallow dish. Pour egg mixture over bread; turn slices to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours. Melt 1 tablespoon margarine in a large skillet; arrange 3 slices bread in skillet, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Repeat procedure with remaining margarine and bread slices. Sprinkle toast with powdered sugar. Yield: 2 to 3 servings. Falls have daughter Timothy D. Falls and Edna E.

Cable Continued from page 1 Commerce reported that they have had no complaints about the service provided since Adelphia took over the system. Front Royal News managing editor Ralph Crabill said that he knew of no complaints about the service since Adelphia took over, but they took over a system that people were satisfied with. In the county administrator’s office a secretary said they had also received no complaints about the system, but the company had not been very vigorous about extending the system into the county, and another company had applied for a franchise to do that. Richard Burke, Adelphia’s manager in Front Royal, said that he is aware of the new request for a franchise, but Adelphia has already made plans to expand the system in Warren County. The old company required 35 houses per mile to expand into an area, but Adelphia is willing to expand into areas with as few as 15 houses per mile, Mr. Bufke said. He said that 58 miles of additional service are currently under construction in Warren County and another 200 miles planned for 199091. Once that is completed, he said cable TV will be available for 80 to 85 percent of the houses in the county. A check with the communities served in Page County brought a mixed response. Adelphia is rewiring the system, according to Clarence F. Edwards, mayor of the Town of Shenandoah. Under the old system Luray had the receiving station and wires ran from there to Shenandoah and on to Elkton. The new system is to be wired with the receiving station in Shenandoah, with lines running north to Stanley and Luray and south to Elkton. “Different people have different ideas about it,” Mayor Edwards said, “but almost all are staying on. I have seen better cable, but the job is not completed yet.” He said that when Adelphia took over the system, it immediately increased the rates, but more channels were added at the same time. He said in Shenandoah the new system should be ready in the spring or summer, but as far as he’s concerned “the service has already improved.” In Stanley, Town Manager Martha Graves said, “We are in midstream right now. Since the purchase they have been in the process of up-dating and adding new channels. A lot of areas haven’t been reached yet, and the areas that are not served are impatient. They are tired of waiting. Those who have the new service ar<j satisfied, even though there was an increase in the monthly fee,” she said. Of the officials contacted, Luray’s Town Manager Ronnie Good was the least satisfied with the cable system. “There have been some problems with their service,” he said. “Part of the problem is that they are rebuilding the system over here. They started in Shenandoah and are working toward Stanley and now Luray.” The complaints have stemmed from delays in extending the service to new areas. “They promised that when the service was available they would serve the sections of Luray that were annexed in 1985,” Mr. Good explained. “During the past year people came to us and said, ‘We don’t have service and we should have had it.’ We contacted the company and they said it would be provided in July or August, but there are still some areas that don’t have cable service. “Part of the problem is that they’re growing,” he continued. “They wanted to upgrade and rebuild. There have been delays because of weather and equipment. I have to point out too that there have been complaints about service quality. Sometimes the cable is out of service. Last year we lost service during the Super Bowl, and the outcome of the game changed during that time.” In Charlottesville, Gwen Jackson, assistant to the city manager, said that there have been no major complaints about the system since Adelphia took over. She said that the old system was already serving all the areas of the city, and that all the available channels were being used. Joseph Price, regional manager for the Virginia region of Adelphia, said that in all the areas Adelphia serves it is upgrading to a fiber optic system and attempting to extend the system into areas not previously served. The incident during the Super Bowl last year came about when a contractor cut the main underground line during the game, Mr. Price said. As soon as the local manager was told about the outage, a crew was sent out to make repairs and the line was spliced, but the system was down for an hour, he said. He said that he expects all the areas in Luray not currently served will be connected by the end of April. In addition the company is expanding in Albemarle County, particularly in the Route 250 East corridor. In Rappahannock, Mr. Price Owners say "SELL!"

Rappahannock County Administrator John McCarthy seconded the results of the Rappahannock News’ informal survey. He said his own conversations with other local officials had left him with favorable reviews of Adelphia’s operations. “The company is apparently more than financially sound,” Mr. McCarthy said. “They have gotten into the business of providing certain cable services to certain size communities, and the company does it very well, apparently.” He said that most of the systems owned by the company have been bought from their original owners, who found the operation of a small, independent company with a limited subscriber base unprofitable. By consolidating its maintenance and office facilities into regional centers, Mr. McCarthy said, Adelphia is apparently able to provide good service at a competitive price. “The big companies can’t afford to do that, due to the overhead,” Mr. McCarthy said, “but Adelphia can do it.” Likewise, the consolidation of costs allows the company to provide service to areas with a lower population density than is generally profitable for cable companies. For example, Adelphia says it is willing to extend service to any areas as soon as the housing density along the road reaches an average of 15 per linear mile. “That’s something most are not willing to do,” he said. The only other operator who approached Rappahannock County was George Pancner, who owns the cable system in the Town of Madison. His density threshold, Mr. McCarthy said, was 20 homes per mile. Even with the lower density requirement, the county administrator noted, “there are not many places outside the villages where you can do that.” And even if there are pockets of dense population, he added, “the question is, ‘How far do you have to go to reach it?’... to justify stringing all that cable.” A plus for Adelphia, Mr. McCarthy said, is that since the signals will be carried by fiber optic cable from the receiving station in Warren County, there are no structures, dishes or satellite down-link sites proposed in Rappahannock. The wires will be strung on existing utility poles, and the only structures forseen are boxes to house equipment to boost the signals during their long traverse. The question in Mr. McCarthy’s mind, he said, is mainly one of timing. Senator A1 Gore (D-Tenn.) has legislation pending in Congress to reestablish the regulation of the cable television industry. There are also two other bills presently under consideration. When the industry was deregulated in 1984, Mr. McCarthy explained, localities lost any power to establish or oversee rate structures, service standards and technical specifications. Now, for example, a locality has no authority to require a company to furnish lockout devices for so-called adult channels, or to require a minimum standard of service. If Sen. Gore’s legislation is adopted, Mr. McCarthy said, those authorities would likely among the powers returned to localities. The county could set the application process for rate increases, he said, including a requirement that the company justify its increase requests. It could also set a certain standard of service, and penalties for non-compliance, including franchise forfeiture. But, he added, “it’s not likely (those powers) would be retroactive,” meaning that any franchise agreements signed during the period of deregulation would not be covered by the new law. “If the federal legislation looks as promising as it seems, I would lean toward recommending to the board that we do nothing until we see if it passes,” he said, predicting some action on the bill during this session of the Congress. Since by granting a franchise the locality essentially gives up its rights to make changes for 15 years, Mr. McCarthy said, “if we spend six or eight months looking at the entire situation, it seems like a pretty good investment in time to me.” Once the county issues its request for proposals, it is free to accept the bid of any company which meets the specifications. The county is also free to reject all bids without explanation, Mr. McCarthy added. Marriage license Wayne Willard Grindle Jr., Haymarket and Wanda Lynn Moore, Viewtown.

Waters Inc., a distributor based in Culpeper. He explained that many distributors owned the tanks buried at the small general stores and rural service stations. Under the regulations, that made the distributors liable for the replacement of aging tanks and the mandatory insurance coverage. Some distributors, he added, sold the tanks to the merchants, thereby transferring the responsibilities for compliance to the retail outlets. Regardless of the ownership, however, compliance with the federal regulations carries a steep price tag. They require that each owner or user carry a $1 million pollution insurance policy, per tank, at a cost of between $3,000 and $7,000 per year, per tank. “We can’t afford to carry the insurance on all the small places,” Mr. Bankhead said, “and they can’t either.” Country store owners can’t affordthe cost of repairing or replacingthe old metal tanks with new, non-corrosive fiberglass tanks, the mandatory yearly leakage tests, or the yearly insurance premiums. Estimatesof the costs of repairs, tank re-placement and insurance run into the thousands of dollars each. The leak tests cost several hundred dollars more per tank. “We don’t have the kind of money it would take,” Mrs. Dennis of the Castleton Store said. They had no option but to remove their tanks, she said, adding that their gas sales couldn’t pay for the costs “in a lifetime.” “There are over two million underground storage tanks in the U.S.,” EPA environmental scientist Theresa Bickel said, explaining that the law affects most underground storage tanks at different times in their service life.

Depending on when their tanks were buried, their deadline is still several years away. Others, like Burke’s Grocery in Woodville and Hillsdale Grocery on U.S. 211, are feeling the pinch now. “We will not have to remove any of our tanks — yet,” said Hillsdale’s owner, Jerry Foster. He recently installed a new tank, but suspects that all of his tanks will have to be replaced by 1998. In the interim, he is faced with hundreds of dollars in expenses for overflow protection equipment, yearly leakage tests, as well as the mandatory spill insurance. Mabel Burke of Burke’s Grocery in Woodville said they will probably end up removing two of the store’s three tanks, which now hold regular and premium unleaded gasoline and kerosene. But they haven’t reached a final decision on what will go. “It all depends on the cost of insurance.” The laws of supply and demand have created a seller’s market for the required pollution insurance, according to distributors who have shopped around for the best prices. Mr. Bankhead said records show insurance premiums paid by petroleum distributors have increased as much as 600 to 800 percent in the past three years. “Ours has not increased that much, but we have seen it triple in the past year.” As country store owners, small independent and franchise gas stations and other retail outlets which handle only relatively small quantities of gasoline have found, removal is a far more likely option than replacement of the tanks. “I’ll probably just give up my tanks,” said Graham Hackley, the owner of Hackley’s Store on U.S. 211 in Amissville. With more than 50 years in business serving the Amissville community and as one of the oldest franchise distributors of Texaco gasoline, Mr. Hackley said he was surprised to see his name listed as one of the sites affected by the law. “I didn’t even know about this until I saw my name mentioned in a Fauquier Times-Democrat article,” he said, adding that he has not been notified by his distributor that his gasoline account, active without interruption since 1934, is being closed. “I guess I’ll be hearing.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM James W.
