Road hunters beware Rappahannock News file photo/Lou Hatter WITH THE BEGINNING of hunting season come increased reports of hunting along the county s back roads. The Sheriff’s Department and Game Commission will continue their practice of increased patrols on those roads, like the ones that resulted in arrests for illegal hunting last year. Game Commission Sgt. Mike Minerik (left) and Lt. Jeff Brown of the Sheriff s Department check hunting licenses, while the evidence from, arrests made of other hunters for illegal hunting lies in the road behind Sgt. Minerik’s car. Father Maurice, Rappahannock's first parish priest, dies at age 87 By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Father Maurice du Castillon, C.I.C.M., described as a “pioneer” for his work in establishing Catholic parishes in Culpeper, Rappahannock, Orange and Madison counties, died Nov. 15 at Sleepy Hollow Nursing Home in Annandale. He was 87. “Father,” as he was known to the many Rappahannock County residents he befriended during his two years as chaplain of Bethany House retreat in Huntly and six years as the pastor of St. Peter’s Catholic Mission in Washington, won the respect and friendship of his parishoners and the community through his outgoing personality and strong principles. “He was a very principled man,” the Rev. Jennings Hobson III, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, remembered. “And while we didn’t always agree theologically, I certainly respected him for that.” And though Father Maurice was “an old-style Catholic in many ways,” Rev. Hobson said, “he was always open with us ecumencially — very cooperative in doing a program together.” His only request, the Rev. Hobson remembered, “he asked that I not make him speak too FATHER MAURICE du CASTILLON much. ‘People don’t understand me,’ ” Father Maurice explained. “He never lost that accent.” Born in Waregem, Belgium on July 28,1903, the son of Maurice and Anna du Castillon Van Hauwaert, Father Maurice entered the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Sept. 8, 1921, after his graduation from college. He pronounced his first vows on Sept. 8, 1922, and was ordained to the Holy Priesthood on Aug. 21, 1927 by Bishop De Boeck, beginning a 63-year ministry as a missionary. After completing one year of medical school, in Louvain, Belgium, Father Maurice left for his first mission assignment in China in September, 1929. He attended language school in Peking, and was appointed assistant pastor of a mission in Shansi, Tat’ung, in July, 1930. The following year, he was appointed pastor in Ling K’iu, where he served until 1933, when he was appointed principal of the Catholic high school in Tat’ung. In August, 1936, he received another pastoral appointment, this time to a mission in Hsu pu. Because his order was sending more missionaries to China, in 1940 Father Maurice was recalled to Belgium to teach Chinese to new confreres. He spent six years in service See FATHER, p. A-8 Me 'balli over fee Proposed landfill review charge marks new policy By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The state’s Department of Waste Management has proposed a set of new application fees for landfills that would cost the county $35,000 in spring or summer of 1992, an amount equal to one cent on the tax rate. Last year’s General Assembly passed legislation giving the DWM authority to impose a fee schedule, but local officials and lawmakers understood that they would be processing fees, not fees set high enough to fund the department’s operation, County Administrator John McCarthy said. “It would be like me imposing special use permit fees high enough to fund the zoning office,” Mr. McCarthy said. Special use permit fees cover the actual costs of the application, such as the costs of advertising and notifying neighboring landowners. When Mr. McCarthy first received notice of the fee schedule from VACO, the Virginia Association of Counties, in October, he said he “went ballistic.” He sent a reply to Larry Land, intergovernmental relations coordinator for VACO, saying that neither he nor the county argued with the need for new regulations for sanitary landfills but adding, “I had understood that the General Assembly and DWM had been partners in this process with localities; our lot to tax and spend to implement the new regulations and the Legislature’s to tax to fund the Department’s enforcement. Evidently my naivete knows few bounds, as the fiscal burden is intended to trickle down to the localities completely.” He told the supervisors at their November meeting that the localities had been promised no new mandates in this time of fiscal problems for the state, “but they’re passing on the cost of operating one state agency to the localities.” The supervisors applauded Mr. McCarthy’s opposition to the new fees and asked him also to write to Rappahannock’s representatives and the Boards of Supervisors See FEE, p. A-8 Bond denied Allison in firearms case By MARK SCOLFORO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer ALEXANDRIA — Kenneth Warren “Kenny” Allison, 36, of Marshall, was ordered held without bond by a federal judge Friday, according to agent John Fretts of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. It was the second time Allison has been denied bond since being arrested during a series of pre-dawn raids by federal agents on Allison’s properties in Fauquier, Rappahannock and Prince William counties. He has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Officials have said other charges are forthcoming. The federal firearms charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. U.S. Attorney Henry Hudson, whose office will be prosecuting Allison, will not comment on the case, according to a spokesman. About 70 federal agents executed “no-knock” search warrants on Allison’s properties Nov. 10. Guns, drugs and papers were taken in the raids, which also involved agents from the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations and members of the local sheriffs departments in Rappahannock, Fauquier and Prince William counties. See ALLISON, p. A-8 Despite increased enrollment, county schools may may still face substantial cut in state funding By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board adopted a schedule for developing next year’s budget after hearing that state aid for the county’s schools might be cut by as much as 10 percent from figures developed last year, and that it will be sometime in March before they will know how much to expect from the state. Superintendent David Gangel said that in the past everyone had been asked to submit a wish list as part of the process of building a budget, but this year he will suggest that faculties in the two schools work from this year’s budget. The Dec. 11 meeting, a regular part of the budget development process, will offer an opportunity for the public and employee groups to give input into the budget. Dr. Gangel will present the budget to the board next March 5, with an opportunity for the public to respond at the regular board meeting March 12. March 19 and 26 are dates set for budget work sessions, with the budget due to the Board of Supervisors April 1. Dr. Gangel also told the board he is still receiving bad news from the state about this year’s budget. Enrollment fig ures continue to be high with average daily membership in October at 947.6, but Dr. Gangel said the school system probably will not receive all the additional state funds those figures represent. Enrollment is up statewide, and the State Department of Education says it does not have money to fund the increased enrollment, the superintendent reported. This complicates the problem of paying for a replacement roof over the high school auditorium and commons area. The school administration had counted on using state funds for increased enrollment to pay for the roof. Money to replace the roof had been left out of the budget for this year when the school administration realized that funds from the state would be lower in the current budget than in the previous one. However the heavy rains in October con-* vinced schol administrators that the roof couldn’t wait for the next budget year. The School Board received bids for the replacement roof at last week’s meeting. Southwest Virginia Roofing bid $18,860 to replace the roof with roofing materials similar to those used on most of the classroom sections of the schools. This is a material that comes in 40-inch wide sections that are overlapped and sealed. Bear Roofing of Charlottesville bid $37,531 to install an EPDM roof. That would be a thick rubber-like material that comes in 30-foot wide sheets that are mechanically sealed. The same firm also recommended and bid $29,142 for a polyurethane roof covered with gravel. Another bid was received later from Shen-Valley Roofing for between $18,000 and $19,000, Dr. Gangel said. The bid had been postmarked on time and held up in the mail, he said. It was for a similar type of roof to the one Southwest Virginia bid on, but the area of roof to be covered was smaller. The School Board appointed a committee of members Paul Nichols, Bryant Lee and John Tole to study the bids and perhaps examine roofs built by the bidding companies and make a recommendation to the full board. Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell expressed hope that the decision could be made by Thanksgiving so that roof work could be finished before the Christmas band concert scheduled for Dec. 18. Money also played a role in the school administration’s response to a group of parents representing the elementary school Parent-Teacher Organization who asked that the school system encourage more cooperative learning, problem solving and interdisciplinary learning. The board accepted Dr. Gangers recommendation that the PTO set as a goal funding the teachers’ share of a course in “Instructional Strategies” which emphasizes cooperative learning, to be taught in the spring semester as part of the masters’ degree program offered through Shenandoah College. Thirty of Rappahannock’s teachers are enrolled in . the program. The teachers’ share of the cost of the course comes to $4,500. The course was previously scheduled to be taught in the fall 1991 semester. Then he suggested that the PTO fund stipends for the rest of the teaching staff to take part in in-service training in cooperative learning during the next school { year. That would cost $7,200, he.said. Dr. Gangel said, “I fully endorse the" proposal to move in that direction. This is the fastest way to respond.” He also said he would schedule an in-service seminar on thinking skills during the coming school year with follow-up in the 1992-93 school year. He said that teachers will be encourSee SCHOOLS, p. A-8

CMH continues 'Lights of Love' fund drive In a continuation of the tradition of caring shared by the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, the eighth annual Lights of Love tree will be shining again on the grounds of the hospital this Christmas. Lights of Love is the Auxiliary’s major fund-raising event for the hospital. The proceeds from this year’s event will provide equipment for the hospital’s rehabilitation center which will include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and cardiac rehabilitation. The Lights of Love gives Culpeper a grand opening to the holiday season with the ceremony of seasonal carols and the lighting of the Lights of Love tree on the west side of the hospital on Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The red afid white lights of the 40 foot tree have significant meanings for those who contribute $5 or more in memory or honor of friends and loved ones. Lights in the star of the tree represent contributions of $50 or more. The names of donors and of those remembered with lights are recorded in books which will be open in the lobby of the hospital during December. Cards are sent to acknowledge the gifts. In seven years the Auxiliary’s Lights of Love has raised over $66,600 in gross revenue to benefit projects chosen by the Lights of Love committee. *■ This year’s committee members are Eula Henretty, chairman; Estelle Burnette, co-chairman; and Geneva Hawkins, program director. Donations to the Lights of Love may be mailed to the CMH Auxiliary, 1216 Oaklawn Drive, Culpeper, VA 22701.

Food Bank launches annual fund drive The Lord Fairfax Food Bank will launch its Hands Against Hunger fund raising campaign on Nov. 23. The funds raised are used to operate the modem distribution center located on 1011 Fort Collier Road in the Winchester Industrial Park. The facility provides food to over 140 charitable agencies in the Winchester area. This year the food bank is facing record demands. The need promises to be even greater in the months ahead. “The high cost of home heating fuel this winter will cut deeply into the food budgets of the poor,” said Food Bank manager Sally Coates. “A lot of poor people, especially the elderly, will sacrifice grocery purchases to keep their house warm.Free food from our agencies can make a big difference.” Ms. Coates also noted that layoffs, food program cutbacks, and the general economic downturn have many people seeking agency assistance. “In a church pantry around the comer, a neighborhood day care center, or a soup kitchen downtown, someone is enjoying a free meal that came from the food bank,” said Ms. Coates. This year we expect to provide enough food for 575,000 wholesome meals to feed the hungry in our area. Network Executive Director Phil Grasty, has high praise for the many local businesses that donate food. “This year, we will handle more than six million pounds of donated food,” Mr. Grasty said. “Most of the food companies in our 25 county service area are extremely generous.” Our agencies provide about 60 percent of our financial support,” Mr. Grasty said. “However, we depend heavily upon individual and corporate donations to Hands Against Hunger to help with the expenses of warehousing, transportation, and distribution.” Donors may call (804) 296-FOOD for more information or send their tax deductible donation checks to: Lord Fairfax Food Bank, P.O.

C.A.R.E. is an acronym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort, a state-sponsored national program during the major holiday weekends of Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, and Thanskgiving. Virginia State Police participate in the program by increasing the availability of troopers to patrol selected heavily-travelled sections of interstate, secondary and primary roads during the C.A.R.E. reporting period of 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, to midnight Sunday, Nov. 25. “As we give thanks for our bles sings this weekend, it is a good time to remind our loved ones to drive carefully and always use safety belts,” said Colonel W. F. Corvello, State Police Superintendent. Last year six people died as a result of crashes during the Thanksgiving weekend, according to state police reports. Only one was wearing a seat belt. Troopers participating in Operation C.A.R.E. during last year’s holiday weekend patrolled 199,122 miles, responded to 554 accidents, and assisted 3,155 motorists. On the 1,089 miles of C.A.R.E. designated highways, troopers issued 5,079 summonses, including 3,048 for speeding, 647 for reckless driving, 112 for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and wrote 240 citations for failure to wear seat belts. Auto tool, first aid kits could be a winter lifesaver BLACKSBURG — A survival kit in the automobile could be a lifesaver. First aid supplies such as bandages, iodine, and antiseptic cream, a flashlight, knife and hand tools are important to have in an emergency. Raisins and hard candy are kinds of food that will keep for a long time in the trunk of a car and still provide energy to keep warm. A heavy blanket, extra flashlight batteries, heavy string, wire, matches, pencils and paper also are good to have, said Glen H. Hetzel, Virginia Cooperative Extension specialist. Carry a tow chain and battery booster cables. A container of sand in the trunk will add weight to the vehicle to help traction in rear wheel drive cars and can be used to sprinkle on ice to help traction too. Remember that hubcaps, sun visors and air filter covers can be used as shovels to remove snow from around the wheels. If there is ever occasion to remain in the car while it continues to snow or the snow drifts, be sure to shovel any snow away from the exhaust pipes before running the engine for heat. Also since snow and ice can seal the windows and other small openings in the car where air is coming in, make sure there is ventilation before starting the engine, said Mr. Hetzel, a member of the Virginia Tech faculty. Thanksgiving holiday closings i ne lollowing businesses and county offices will be closed this week for the Thanksgiving holiday: Rappahannock County Schools will be closed Thursday and Friday. Rappahannock County government offices will be closed Thursday and Friday, as will the county’s Social Services Department.

With election over, redistricting looms ‘Raw power’ will determine state’s political boundaries By SCOTT McCAFFREY q T, Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer _ t With election season barely over, legislators have already turned to the next political hot po.... tato: legislative redistricting, i, Early next year, the General Assembly will ^, attempt to redistrict both houses of the state legislature as well as the Commonwealth’s congres■ sional districts. “Redistricting is fundamentally an exercise in raw political power,” said State Sen. Joseph mi Gartlan, D-Mount Vernon. Sen. Gartlan should know. As chairman of the mighty Senate Privileges and Elections Com, . mittee, he will be in charge of the redistricting effort. At a League of Women Voters-sponsored forum Nov. 10 at Fairfax High School, legislators — and civic activists alike said new technology and new direction could help avoid the debacle that was the 1981 redistricting. It took a gubernatorial veto, nine special Assembly sessions, 20 lawsuits, intervention by the U.S. Justice Department, action by federal courts and a record three legislative elections in three years before redistricting was complete following • - the 1980 census. “It was not one of Virginia’s finer moments,” said Thomas Morris, a political scientist at the 11' University of Richmond and one of the state’s re’ ‘ districting experts. The General Assembly will attempt to avoid the pitfalls of previous redistricting efforts, but ' must complete its work quickly to hold legislative ',J elections as scheduled next November. Sen. Gartlan announced Saturday that he ' *had already agreed to push back legislative prir maries and elections from their usual early-sunimer slots to Sept. 3. The delay will give his * committee and its House of Delegates counterpart time to complete a redistricting plan. “We will get the census data in early March, and start work as the General Assembly winds up its regular session,” Sen. Gartlan said. “We’ll then come back in special session to approve the legislative redistricting plan, and pray we can meet the schedule. After that, we’ll tackle con*-• gressional redistricting.” ‘Minority-safe’ districts The most likely topic for controversy and litigation next year will be “minority-safe districts,” M the creation of legislative districts with a majority of black voters. “Whether the General Assembly will bite the ,, bullet and provide more minority-safe seats has yet to be seen . . . if not, we are virtually certain to be sued,” Sen. Gartlan said. Redistricting in 1990 will take place under provisions of the revised Voting Rights Act, which Congress amended in 1982 largely as a response to Virginia’s 1981 redistricting effort. The revisions mandate creations of legislative districts with a majority of black voters whenever possible. Previously, only overt discrimination in drawing boundaries around minority voters could be cause for legal challenges. “Basically, if we enact redistricting plans that do not have minority-safe districts, and we are sued by someone who has a plan that does, we will lose,” Sen. Gartlan said. “It is possible for the 1991 redistricting process to be suit-free,” said Phil Cooper of the American Civil Liberties Union. The Virginia ACLU filed 20 suits (18 of them successful) against discriminatory redistricting following the 1981 effort. The black-majority district issue is likely to be a controversial topic only in southern Virginia, since no Northern Virginia districts have close to a majority of black voters. “The Republicans might be helped by the need to create majority-black districts, so they will probably be supportive,” said Prof. Morris. The diverse objectives of different groups in redistricting led Morris to quote U.Va. political analyst Larry Sabato: “If politics makes for strange bedfellows, then redistricting makes for orgies.” Computer technology Unlike previous efforts, the 1991 redistricting will benefit from sophisticated computer software purchased by Virginia to map out districts, down to the smallest census block of 70 people. “It’s an incredibly sophisticated system, and since it cost the state more than $1 million to defend itself from (redistricting) suits in 1981, it will probably turn out to be a bargain,” said Mr. Cooper. Once the committees have completed their work, each house will vote on its own redistricting plan (without the other house’s consent needed) and Send it to Gov. L. Douglas Wilder and the U.S. Justice Department for approval. If, as Mr. Cooper believes, a suit-free 1991 plan can be devised, it will be the first time in nearly half a century that redistricting has occurred smoothly in Virginia. In 1961, the state redistricting plan was overturned by federal courts, and major changes were made to the 1971 plan following Justice Department objections. " But it was the 1981 effort that may be remembered as the low point in the state. Bunnies & brotherly love With a booming Northern Virginia area clamoring for additional representation, legislators in 1981 came up with the “Fairfax 12” plan, adding two House of Delegates seats in Fairfax County. Following objections by leaders in other parts of the state that the plan would hurt incumbents, the proposal was revised into the “Brotherly Love” plan, which kept 12 seats in Fairfax but protected all other incumbents statewide. “It turned out that the Brotherly Love — B.L. — plan wound up accidentally having 101 (delegate) seats, which was one too many. Legislators starting referring to it as the ‘Barely Legal’ plan,” said Brenda Wright of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law at Saturday’s forum. Legislators then proffered what came to be known as the “Bunny Rabbit” plan, because one district was drawn in the shape of rabbit’s ears. The courts struck it down immediately, “which goes to show you that you should never have a plan that is named after an animal’s body parts,” Ms. Wright said. Unlike congressional redistricting, in which each district in a state must have almost exactly equal populations (deviations of more than one percent are always struck down), legislative redistricting is slightly less restrictive. “It’s a more relaxed standard. Anything under a 10 percent deviation — five percent higher or lower than average — is deemed to be constitutional,” Ms. Wright said. Taking care of No. 1 As the General Assembly convenes to make changes in the state’s legislative districts, one thing will be uppermost in each politician’s mind: self-preservation. “Redistricting bills are probably the only bills that every legislator understands,” joked Del. Vincent Callahan, R-McLean, who sits on the House Privileges and Elections Committee. “You can bet your bottom dollar that everyone’s going to look at their own districts first. ” Northern Virginia should have an easier time of it than other regions, since the local area will get more representation. Northern Virginia’s delegation will increase from 21 to 24 delegates and from eight to 10 senators. “You’ll see a lot of fur flying before it’s over downstate,” Del. Callahan said. “They will have it much worse than we will.” Considering the angst over legislative redistricting, Virginia has accomplished congressional redistricting with nary a hitch over the past few decades. The 1981 plan was implemented without legal action. Members of the House and Senate Privileges and Elections Committees will be traveling across the state the week of Dec. 10, holding public hearings on redistricting.

Newspaper' advertising lineage dropped 5.5 percent in September, “revealing further cutbacks by retailers,” Mr. Pearson said, and building permits declined 15.8 percent statewide. The third indicator, new car registrations, “plummeted 22 percent this September, indicating consumer demand for big-ticket durable goods deteriorated even more after the Kuwait invasion,” Mr. Pearson added. “Sixteen of the 17 urban areas which we monitor had large declines, mostly double-digit. Only the Roanoke area achieved higher carsales.” Retail sales, which had showed some gains during August, took a downward turn in September. Mr. Pearson said the decrease “signals that Virginia households for now are cutting back broadly in their purchases, not just avoiding major ones such as cars.” Two indicators that rose statewide in August, bank debits and electricity consumption, also increased in September, but by smaller percentages. September bank debits rose 4.6 percent, failing to match the 7.6 gain in August. The figure signals “a general slowdown in spending growth in Virginia for all purposes - personal and commercial, public and private,” Mr. Pearson said. Electricity consumption rose only 1.5 percent. Payroll job growth remained steady across Virginia, with a 2.0 percent gain in August, the latest available figures. That two percent translates into 57,200 more jobs than a year ago, which Mr. Pearson called “a substantial accomplishment.” But the types of new jobs recently added, in declining economy areas such as retailing and state and local government, means that further substantial job growth is not likely in coming months, he said. The state’s overall economic picture continues to be clouded by Northern Virginia, which has gone from being the “engine of growth” to pulling down the Commonwealth’s growth rate, Mr. Pearson said. In an anylsis of summer 1990 retail sales and jobs, Mr. Pearson reported that while national retail sales rose 4.7 percent over the previous summer, Virginia sales fell 2 percent compared to last year. Summer employment figures indicate that metropolitan areas were not the primary provider of new jobs, he said, and non-metropolitan areas are the only places where construction jobs are increasing at a substantial pace. The bureau’s evaluation of recent income statistics reveals a slight rise for the second quarter of 1990, but Mr. Pearson points out that Virginia’s personal income growth now ranks 22nd among the 50 states, well below its top-10 ranking during the 1980s. He said inflation is likely to exceed earnings in the remaining half of the year, confirming the arrival of a statewide recession.

A ^ Bureau THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22,1990 A quiet man leaves a giant legacy behind This week, the Catholic congregation of Saint Peter’s . Mission — and the Rappahannock community in general — mourns the passing of Father Maurice du Castillon, C.I.C.M. Father Maurice was known to anyone who spent any . time in the town of Washington, Virginia, during the six ■. years he spent here as chaplain of Saint Peter’s Mission. It * was Father Maurice’s urging that convinced Bishop Welch to * establish the parish — after Father Maurice’s ostensible ; retirement from his fulltime duties as the pastor of Precious Blood Catholic Church in Culpeper. “Father,” as he was affectionately known by both his • parishioners and his many friends and neighbors in the community, was known for his seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm. Though he was in his 80s when he began his ministry in Washington, he pursued the establishment of that parish with the same vigor he had brought to his first missionary work in this area — back in the mid 1950s. At that time, few residents of this area had ever had . contact with a Catholic, much less a Catholic priest from Belgium. But that didn’t deter Father Maurice. His friendly . smile, outgoing personality and strong principles gained him ' inroads into the community, and solidified lifelong friendships with many residents, no matter their religious beliefs. As the pastor of Precious Blood, Father Maurice could have been content to minister to his congregation there. But he was not. He extended the church’s family into the - surrounding counties, helping to establish missions in Orange, Madison and Rappahannock counties. ; As the Rev. Jennings Hobson III, rector of Washington’s Trinity Episcopal Church, observed, Father Maurice is the “granddaddy” of all those parish families. Apparently , Father Maurice served as a leader and mentor for the younger priests of his Missionhurst order as well as to his congregation and his community. Father Albert Verbeke, who succeeded Father Maurice as chaplain of Saint Peter’s Mission, remembers him as a “grandfather talking to : his children,” who reminded them of the dedication and principle necessary to pursue their vocation. >' Men like Father Maurice, gentle and strong, wise and : loving, do not come along every day. The world is a richer place because of his life, and we are left poorer by his passing. ■rwa iirwi Mfwssmm5* Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan WITH FALL S COLORS only a memory, an apple orchard in Flint Hill offers only bare branches to the approaching winter. Wilder's actions confound conservatives, but also enrage Democratic liberals By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer If Douglas Wilder should get on a national Democratic ticket there is just no way Republicans will be able to successfully slap the “Liberal” label on him as they have done with so many others in the past. Any doubt of that was certainly erased recently when Gov. Wilder stayed silent and let convicted murderer Wilbert Lee Evans die in Virginia’s electric chair despite repeated pleas for executive clemency. The Evans execution can be used as exhibit one that Doug Wilder is tough on crime and criminals, just as Lee Atwater and company used Willie Horton to make the case that Michael Dukakis was soft on crime. As the furor was going on about the Evans case, with Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP criticizing its handling by Wilder and others, staunchly conservative Republican Congressman Newt Gingrich of Georgia was giving high praise to Governor Wilder. Appearing on C-Span, Rep. Gingrich pointed to Wilder’s handling of Virginia’s budget crisis as a “responsibly conservative” way of reducing a projected deficit not by raising taxes but by cutting spending. “He was willing to make the hard choices,” said Mr. Gingrich. Meanwhile, as Rep. Gingrich, the current darling of Republican conservatives, was passing out bonafide conservative credentials to Wilder, the Governor appeared before a group of 700 northern liberals GEEz!f TURKEY, MASHED POTATOES, CORN, PEAS, CRANBERRY 3AUCE, ICE CREAM... wo jv /r J-"'' THEY REALLY MOW TO HURT GUY// THANKSGIVING H<?0 Old Dominion Politics in Massachusetts with the kind of message that, perhaps, they didn’t want to hear. Press reports called his reception “subdued” as Wilder told the liberals that for America to get its deficit problem solved it must do what Virginia has done - cut spending. “It is impossible to meet the challenges of the ’90s without understanding that fiscal responsibility is at the center of any forward-thinking agenda and vision for the future,” said Gov. Wilder, who is often mentioned as a Democratic candidate for President or Vice President in 1992. Asked about the Evans case, Gov. Wilder said he decided that the seriousness of the crime precluded clemency though Evans and his supporters had said he deserved mercy because of his role in protecting several prison guards and nurses during a 1984 prison uprising. As Gov. Wilder was speaking in Massachusetts, one of his most persistent critics, black Richmond lawyer Sa’ad El-Amin, told a state meeting of the NAACP that Wilder had shown lack of concern for black families and had become a black leader with an ‘I’ve got mine,’ attitude. Mr. El-Amin said the Governor’s conduct in the Evans case was “cruel and inhuman” for allowing Evans to die without letting him know if there was any chance of clemency. The lawyer also charged that Gov. Wilder’s refusal to endorse a black-majority congressional district during reapportionment next year had betrayed the black cause. Brother Doug decided he was going to swim in the mainstream,” said Mr. El-Amin, who then said Gov. Wilder should admit, “I’m looking for votes, not justice.” Liberals and liberal groups are increasingly charging Gov. Wilder with political opportunism in his turn to conservatism. They believe he may be doing so in order to become the black moderate-conservative alternative to Jesse Jackson at the 1992 Democratic national convention. Yet Gov. Wilder steadfastly denies he has any intention to seek national office and says that his actions as Governor should come as no surprise since he had made known during his campaign he would insist on fiscal responsibility in state government even if some pain had to be inflicted in the process. Returning from his northern excursion, Gov. Wilder addressed the state NAACP the day after Mr. ElAmin’s sharp criticism of him. The Governor said he found it strange that both the NAACP and Republicans were already berating him for not lobbying for a black majority congressional district “before any plan has been drawn or seen.” A fight looms over whether to create the black majority district in a southern part of the state or to put an 11th district, an extra one Virginia will pick up, in Northern Virginia where much of the state’s growth has taken place. Gov. Wilder has indicated the Northern Virginia location would be logical. Addressing NAAGP members he said, “If we assume that Democrats - and I’m one of them - are evil mean people plotting against African Americans and that the other party is the friend, I wonder where I’ve been all this time.’’ And again Gov. Wilder returned to a familiar theme, the need for blacks to take responsibility for their actions. Black leaders, he said, should be “devoting their time and energies to making unrelenting demands of themselves and of others in the name of our most just and worthy cause, the youth and families of today and tomorrow.” Gov. Wilder’s talk and actions have gotten him praise from such unlikely sources as Gingrich, the Richmond Thnes-Dispatch and conservative leaders, while dismaying the NAACP and liberals. And despite his denial of lack of interest in national office, Democrats looking for victory in 1992 will have to take a long hard look at a black southern governor who can’t be labeled a liberal and with proven appeal to middle-class whites.

Letters to the Editor 'New world order' a threat to freedom To the editor: On Oct. 1, in his speech delivered at the United Nations headquarters, President Bush expressed his hope for the creation of a “new world order.” In December, 1988, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev spoke at the same podium and he too called for “a new world order.” Both leaders continue to use the identical term in their recent pronouncements, but few people realize that this phrase means world government, and world government means a cancellation of national sovereignty and individual freedom. Americans need to remind themselves of the unique foundations upon which our nation was built. The cornerstone is the undeniable proclamation in the Declaration of Independence that we receive our rights from our “Creator ” and that government’s purpose is merely “to se cure these rights.” Realizing that it is “God from whom all blessings flow” those men who met in Philadelphia 200 years ago brought forth the Constitution which limits government and leaves the people alone and unfettered. No other nation on earth has such a praiseworthy beginning. The United Nations is the exact opposite of our nation and to surrender U.S. sovereignty to the godless UN would be the height of treachery. The UN is swarming with representatives of large and small tyrannies whose leaders hate America and covet the success our system has made possible. All Americans must do everything possible to thwart the President’s intentions to bring about a “New World Order” or Mr. Bush may succeed in destroying the American dream. It is obvious that Mr. Bush and Mr. Gorbachev are working to create a world government under the control of the United Nations. Any American who fails to be alarmed by such a prospect obviously knows precious little about either his own heritage or the threat to it posed by the United Nations. Anyone who would like a more thorough analysis of Mr. Bush’s plans to create “a new world order” can contact me at 381 Stuyvesant St., Warrenton, VA 22186, phone (703) 347-0474. Our nation’s future is threatened from within, and it has to be protected by Americans who care. JAMES B. HUTT JR., M.D. Warrenton

St. Anne's tops Pop Quiz teams By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Saint Anne’s-Bellfield fielded the winning team in Wakefield’s First Annual Academic Invitational Tournament last Saturday. Thirteen teams participated in the double elimination tournament, which resembles a Pop Quiz competition. Some schools sent both an A and B team. It was St. Anne’s A team which defeated Wakefield’s A team twice for the championship. Rappahannock High School’s team was quickly eliminated, losing to St. Anne’s A team in the first round and to Spotswood’s B team in the second. Wakefield’s B team didn’t fare .. any better, losing to Luray in the _ first round and Spotswood’s A team in the second. The St. Anne’s A team cruised to an easy victory defeating Rappahan, nock, Madison, Central, and Wakefield-A, and then had to wait several rounds before the Wakefield-A team again qualified to join them in the fi: nal round. * Wakefield’s A team defeated Spotswood’s A team, Luray and STAB’s B team before losing to St. Anne’s A the first time. Then they defeated Central before losing again to STAB-A in the final. Among public schools Central fared the best, defeating Stuart’s Draft and Page before succumbing to STAB-A. Then Central defeated Madison and Luray before losing to the Wakefield-A team. Rappahannock’s coach Roger Fliftchum said that competition has become much more intense since Rappahannock first received an invitation from public TV station WVPT to compete in Pop Quiz. That year Rappahannock rather easily defeated St. Anne’s in the first round of the competition. Eighth grader Johnathan Watson was the star of that team. Mr. Flinchum suggested that St. Anne’s just selected four of their strong senior students to go up against Rappahannock that year, while Rappahannock had a competition involving the whole school to pick members of the team and then had several practice sessions before the competition. This year’s St. Anne’s teams have a much more intense preparation. Their seventh period in school is an activity period and students who are going to be involved in academic competition practice four days a week during the entire school year. “It’s an every day commitment for those who are signed up,” according to faculty advisor and coach Randy Cornell. However, those who are taking six academic subjects are allowed to miss some practices to take part in other activities, and two members of the team work on the school newspaper and one works on the yearbook. Those activities also take place during the activity period. The St. Anne’s team participates in several tournaments and will host one of its own in the spring. They also participate in the “It’s Academic” competition in Washington, D.C. in the spring. Of all the teams St. Anne’s fields the Pop Quiz team has the best wortloss record, Mr. Cornell said, adding that he thinks academic teams should get more publicity. His team members took the victory in stride. They were eager to get back to their campus outside Charlottesville where three of the team members were due to perform in a play Saturday evening. Wakefield elects student officers Students at Wakefield School in Huntly recently elected the officers of the 1990-1991 Student Government. Jamed Stephens of Front Royal was elected President; Michael Irani, also of Front Royal, was elected Vice-President; and Katie ' Holland of Winchester was elected ■>- Secretary/Treasurer. * The school models its elections after the Electoral College form of election. After a spirited campaign * replete with banners and direct mail •• bids for votes, the individual classes cast their votes. The plurality of vot* ers in the first grade decided which candidates would receive that grade s one electoral vote, two electoral votes were cast from the second grade; and so on up through grade 12. The U.S. Government class under the leadership of faculty advisor Margaret Doyle, organizes and supervises the school elections. In addition to the student government officers, Wakefield entrusts leadership of the student body to “Prefects.” There are four prefects from each grade in the prep school (grades 8-12); two are elected by class members and two are appointed by the faculty and administration of the school. The appointed prefects of the prep school form the Reid Trial Chunk Dos Food 5^49 40 lb. bag Tendersweet Cut Green Asparagus 14 1/2 oz. can C Silver Spring Unsweetened 100% Orange Juice $100 46 oz.

Ms. Tice was appointed to her position by the President of the school, Dr. Alan Saunders. The elected prefects serve as class presidents. In the primary grades, the prefects are appointed by the homeroom teachers. These prefects serve abbreviated terms so that the greatest number of students can be exposed to the system throughout the course of the year. In America, anyone can become President. It’s one of the risks we take. — Adlai Stevenson No decision on town's well driller State orders spring supply chlorinated or shut off By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Town Council opened bids for a new well for the water system and agreed to turn the material over to Treasurer Brad Fisher to make a recommendation. Bids were received from Valley Drilling, Leazer Drilling, and LeHew Well Drilling, but not all seemed to bidding on the same specifications. “I think we have to do a green sheet to reconcile the pricing,” Mayor Dean Morehouse said. “We’ll leave that up to Brad.” Mr. Fisher was out of town and unable to attend the council meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 14. In a related matter the council learned that the spring that has been supplying most of the town’s water has been shut off. The Health Department required that the spring water be chlorinated if it is to continue to be used. On recycling, Ray Gooch reported that about one half of the residents are participating and that the program results in enough recyclables being collected to justify getting a larger truck or going to twice a month pick-ups. He said that about a ton of newspapers and another ton of glass and aluminum are being collected each month. He said the town should consider getting containers for households to use to separate their trash, but added that he hadn’t collected any information on the cost of such containers. Evelyn Willis reported that the Architectural Review Board is still waiting for County Administrator John McCarthy to rewrite the historic district ordinance and is hoping to have representatives of ARBs in Winchester and Richmond “talk with us.” On the problem of loitering at the corner Mayor Morehouse reported that two people who had been arrested for fighting in the streets at Country ‘Elegance 128 Royal AvC| ^ I tours M-F 10-5:30, Sal. 10-5, Sun! 1-5 DOWNTOWN FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA ^ _ -I n t_ •14K Gold Chains •Diamond Pendants • Diamond Earrings •Brass, Crystal and Oriental Giftware •Ladies’ & Men’s Watches •Ladies’ & Men’s Birthstones •Ladies’ & Men’s Wedding Bands •Ladies’ & Men’s Jewelry •Cross Pen & Pencil Sets Your Quality Jeweler 0IFT*CVSE*'res Serving Front Royal &‘Surrounding Area For 26 Years —— two in tne morning had been round guilty and sentenced to 40 hours of community service each. He said that, while there are “not too many people on the benches,” there are still problems in town. “Signs have been torn down again; the sanctuary at the church is still locked for the first time in 100 years; there are still complaints from passers-by about yelling and bad language.” “The vigilantes get me,” he added. “Citizens have gotten guns out. Somebody is going to get hurt when that happens.” The town council agreed to pay 75 percent of the electricity at the old town hall because of heaters used for the town shop in the basement. Most of the time at the council meeting was taken up with a disagreement between council members Newbill Miller and Mr. Gooch. Town Attorney Frank Reynolds brought the matter to the council’s attention. Mr. Reynolds said that Mr. McCarthy, in his capacity as the town’s zoning administrator, had approved the survey of a plat to be filed at the clerk’s office for for a one-half acre lot owned by Mr. Miller. He said there was a question of the “validity of the survey” because surveys in the past did not show that property as a separate lot. He said that might “set a precedent for future cases.” Mr. Reynolds said the tax map showed such a lot across from Mr. Gooch’s lot with Gay street running between the lots, but neither the current survey nor Mr. Gooch’s survey show Gay Street bordering the lots. He said the deed to Mr. Gooch’s lot described the boundary as beginning at the end of Gay Street. Mr. Miller said that the map, which he described as the “Baggerly sketch” was adopted by the town council to preserve the historical street names and doesn’t definitely establish where the streets are. He asked Mr. Reynolds why he hadn’t talked to him as part of his research. Mr. Reynolds said that the lot was “part of a larger piece of property. No transfers maintain that as a separate lot.” He said that Mr. McCarthy took the position that since there was no stated intention to merge the lot with other property, it still existed even if it had been transferred as part of a larger property. Mr. Reynolds added that he and the county’s attorney took a more limited view and felt that the deeds should show it as a separate lot in order to maintain it as a separate lot. He said that the town’s zoning ordinance defined a lot as a parcel of land either shown on a plat of record or considered a lot for tax purposes. Mr. Miller said he had been paying taxes on it as a separate lot since he bought it in 1968. Mr. Reynolds agreed that if Mr. Miller has been paying taxes on a separate lot, he Has ownership of the property as a separate lot. “I don’t understand,” Mr. Miller said. “If you wanted to know why not ask me. Who brought this up to Mr. McCarthy?” “I did,” Mr. Gooch said. “My concern was my own lot and my Gay Street right of way. The attorney who researched my title had a question about Gay Street. When you surveyed the land, I figured you were doing it for a purpose. He said that an attorney who had earlier researched the issue felt the lot had been merged with Mr. Miller’s house lot.” “It was taxed as a lot before I got it. It was there when I got it,” Mr. Miller said. “I knew you were going to say something to John about it so I asked John if I could do it, and he said, ‘Yes, you can.’” “How can you say your lot is that one-half acre lot?” Mr. Gooch asked. “I didn’t say anything about that,” Mr. Miller answered. “If I were creating a lot, I could be challenged,” Mr. Gooch said. “I’m not going to let a hostile situation take one of my rights away from me,” Mr. Miller said. Mr. Reynolds said he had brought the issue to the council because it could come up again and that the council should consider establishing exactly where its streets are. No action was taken on his suggestion. A check with Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins showed that the parcel has been taxed as a separate lot since at least 1952, which is far back as her records go.

Alumni return for benefit basketball tourney By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New« Staff Writer The over-the-hill-gang will ride again — or at least shoot again — this weekend as 48 of Rappahannock High School’s former basketball players return for the second annual Alumni Basketball Tournament. The four teams will square off in a preliminary round Friday evening, then return Saturday night for the championship matchup, which will , be proceeded by a consolation game. According to RCHS basketball coach Gary Leake, who organized the benefit tournament, last year’s successful matches should be even better this year. This year, Coach Leake gained a sponsor for the event, Shenandoah Motors of Front Royal, which is providing game jerseys for all four teams, trophies for the champion, ship team and an MVP plaque to be awarded by the officials. Shenandoah Motors is also sponi soring a permanent plaque with the roster of the championship team, which will be mounted in the gymnasium lobby. Teams were chosen Monday evening by a limited draft. Each coach was allowed to protect five players, ■v. plus himself, then draft the remaining six players, Coach Leake explained. “We wanted to keep it as fair as possible.” Through that selection process, the following teams are slated to square off Friday evening. Light blue: Anthony Porter (captain), Butch Foster, Gary Leake, Michael Leake, Steve Leake, Jeff Porter, Gary Settle, Matthew Settle, Mike Smoot, Mike Tupper, Tony Wayland, Reggie Williams. White: Ricky Shaw (captain), Bill Atkins, Mike Atkins, Mark Brown, Rob Brown, Tony Clark, Philip Daczewitz, Godfrey Freeman, Wesley Jenkins, Brooke Miller, Mike Payne, Tommy Sisk. Navy blue: Ron Nicholson (captain), Pete Aylor, Ronald Dodson, Danny Ellis, Wayne Foster, Aubrey Frye, Mike Massie, Bobby Settle, ■ Carroll Settle, Doug Smith, Johnny Smith, Richard Tribino. Gold: Walter Frye (captain), Jamie Allsberry, Tremayne Allsberry, Gregg Daczewitz, Glen Fletcher, Dexter Freeman, Carl Frye, Carroll Frye, Devon Moore, Clarence Pendleton, Benji Roy, Daniel Roy. Rappahannock News file photo/Lou Hatter MANY OF THE VETERANS of last year’s Alumni Basketball Tournament will return for another shot this weekend. Last year the action under the hoop got pretty hot. From left, Jay Miller, Butch Foster, Godfrey Freeman, Carl Frye, Anthony Porter and Carroll Ray Settle. Each of the teams, Coach Leake noted, has at least one set of brothers playing together. Many of the players, the coach added, are returning from last year’s tournament — joined by several members of RCHS’s Class of 1990. The older guys, Coach Leake suggested, “must not have learned their lesson last year.” He cautioned spectators to expect a strong smell of medicinal linament on Saturday evening, as “the Ben Gay boys” arrive for the tournament’s second round.

This year, the event benefits the RCHS Athletic Department. Admission each night is $2.50 per person, children under five are free. “Please come out and support this worthwhile cause,” Coach Leake said, “while having a good time watching the Panthers’ stars of yesteryear show their stuff. “We are really counting on this to bring in some revenue for the'ath letic department. It was such a big success last year, and I promise even more fun this weekend.” Coach Leake refused to confirm a rumor that a tractor-trailer loaded with drums of Ben Gay and Atomic Balm and cases of instant ice packs will be parked outside the gym in case of emergencies. i American Heart Association WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE Field preparation key to tasty game meals By AAKON BASS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The culinary quality of wild game is a source of some debate. It is undeniably true that wild meat, when prepared in a straightforward manner, is different in flavor and texture from domestic meat. But “different” is not necessarily bad. Most wild animals that we classify as “game animals” to be hunted and eaten are primary prey species. This means that other prpdators besides human hunters are constantly on their trail. The prey animal must be alert and quick to avoid all of its predators, while making do with the food available in the natural environment. Thus, game animals seldom get “fat” in the same sense that sedentary domestic beasts pack it on. As a consequence, wild meat is dry and sometimes tough in comparison. Cooking methods which take these factors into account are best for game. The condition of the individual animal has much to do with its palatability. In the case of birds and small game, age is a consideration. In a year of poor reproduction, the hunter’s bag will usually contain fewer young (read, tender) and more comparatively tough oldsters. In deer and other big game, meat quality is heavily influenced by the quantity and quality ot tood tnat nas been available to the animal over the summer. Don’t buy the logic that a big buck’s vension is invariably tough and strong. Any poorly fed big-game animal, regardless of age or sex, that has just gotten by on low-quality browse will be a poorer piece of eating than even a big buck that has been living well on food forage. A quick, clean kill is the next step to good game meat. A spooked or wounded animal gets an adrenalin surge to its muscles. This results in tough meat and an objectionable “gamey” taste. Each autumn, much game meat is either lost or seriously degraded by poor field care. Quick, efficient field dressing and prompt cooling of the carcass are vital steps to goodtasting game. Delaying either dressing or cooling is gambling with how MAIN and CHESTER STS FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA US SflLG 3 BIG DAYS!

Small game should be eviscerated and cooled as quickly as possible, and a wise hunter will have an ice chest available in warm climates. Deer-sized game is often fielddressed in the woods and expediently moved to a convenient location for further processing. Large game taken in remote locations, such as elk or moose, is usually skinned on the spot to hasten cooking and then packed out in quarters. During any of these processes, care should be taken to keep the carcass as clean as possible. Avoid meat contamination from the viscera itself or from foreign materials such as hair, dirt, mud, etc. Such contamination damages meat quality and can be a factor in the so-called “gamey” taste. Only when the carcass is cooling (prefarably at 35F to 40F) can the successful hunter take a breather and anticipate the savory game dinners that are the direct result of good field care of game meat.

Father Continued from page A-1 in Belgium. In 1946, Father Maurice was sent to the United States to assist in establishing new mission territory here, working in the U.S. Promotion until November of that year, when he was appointed as the pastor of Precious Blood Catholic Church in Culpeper. The next year, in 1947, Father Maurice was again recalled to the order’s Belguim headquarters, where he served as Professor of Chinese, French and English. In 1952 and 1953, he served in the C.I.C.M. Theologicum in Louvain, Belgium, as Professor of Missiology and Languages. Then, in September, 1955, Father Maurice was again asked to resume his missionary work, returning to Culpeper as the pastor of Precious Blood Catholic Church. In 1975, he was appointed Dean of Deanery IV of the Diocese of Arlington. In 1979, at the age of 76, Father Maurice resigned his fulltime pastoral duties at Precious Blood to become the chaplain of Bethany House, a diocesan retreat in Huntly. Because of the increasing number of Catholics in Rappahannock County, he persuaded Bishop Welsh to establish Saint Peter’s Catholic Mission in Washington, becoming its pastor in May, 1981. He served as its chaplain until his retirement, at age 84, on Sept. 1,1987. After his retirement, Father Maurice moved to Missionhurst in Arlington, where he lived until earlier this year. After a fall in which he broke his arm, and due to failing health, he was admitted to Sleepy Hollow Nursing Home this past August. He died there in his sleep last Thurday, 44 years to the day after his first appointment as the pastor of Precious Blood Catholic Church in Culpeper. “He came here as a missionary to the Blue Ridge,” Rev. Hobson remembered, “at a time when to be a Catholic — unless you were Italian or Irish — was considered something strange. He worked hard at it, and the establishment of churches in Madison, Culpeper, Rappahannock and Orange are largely the result of his efforts. He is the granddaddy of all that.” “Father,” as he was always referred to, often recalled his first days in this area, and the reaction he received when people found out he was a Catholic priest. “I used to doff my hat and turn around to prove to them that I didn’t have horns and a tail," he would remember with a chuckle. “Many people had never seen a Catholic — much less a priest.” After his appointment as chaplain of Saint Peter’s Cathode Mission, Father Maurice’s rectory was an apartment on Main St. He could often be seen walking the streets of Washington, on his way to the Post Office or merely taking a stroll for his exercise. He always had a smile and a pleasant greeting for everyone he met — and his bright eyes often twinkled as he offered a compliment or a few words of encouragement. “I perceived Father Maurice as a saint, in the best sense of the word,” A Living Evergreen is a Lifetime Gift a Choose and cut your own Christmas tree §&§£, Thousands to choose from Open all day every day after Thanksgiving Skyline Evergreen Farm Since 1967 Bentonville, VA (703)635-4366 From Front Royal: 10 miles Soath on CI.S. 340.2 miles oast on BentonvIHe-Browntown Rd.__ 1 YEAR fS8% .CHARGIS CHINA JADE 239 South Street, Front Royal, Va. 22630 (703)635-9161 CHINA JADE’S SPECIALTIES_ Over 85 Menu Selections Available JADE SEAFOOD BIRD’S NEST.

Hobson added, his presence added a new dimension to the inter-denominational fellowship shared by the county’s pastors. When Father Maurice first arrived, the Episcopalian Rev. Hobson, the Methodist minister Rev. Malcolm Maples and Reynolds Memorial’s Baptist pastor Ron Wiley often met together. Soon, Father Maurice and Jim Bane, a perpetual deacon of the Catholic Church, joined the group. “It changed our fellowship,” the Rev. Hobson said. “It was enriching.” Father Albert Verbeke, C.I.C.M., who succeeded Father Maurice as chaplain of Saint Peter’s Mission, remembers Father Maurice as “a very spiritual man. He was determined, and fearless when it came to principles — he never made compromises.” Though Father Albert said Father Maurice was “not the adventurous type, he would go anywhere if a job had to be done. He absolutely maintained his freedom, but he was very conscious of his duty.” For the Missionhurst priests, Father Albert remembered, Father Maurice would often give a talk during the priests’ occasional gatherings. “He was like a grandfather talking to his children — reminding them to be faithful to their vocation. He was really marvelous that way.” To the younger priests, Father Maurice was an older confrere, “a brother in arms, who would protect us and keep us from going astray. We loved him, we admired him, and we looked up to him as a role model for missionaries. “He was dedicated to his community, and to God’s family. He was a good example for anybody who wants to lead a dedicated life,” Father Albert said. “Not just missiona M'iamaay ries, but anybody with a family. It’s not always easy.” Father Maurice was, “a great character, a loving man,” Father Albert added. Father Maurice is survived by his sister, Mrs. Marie Jeanne Rutsaert du Castillon and two nieces, Joke Rutsaert and Lieve Rutsaert, both of Belgium. A mass of Christian burial was celebrated on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at Precious Blood Catholic Church in Culpeper, with the Rev. Joe Giordano, C.I.C.M., Provincial of the Missionhurst Fathers, officiating. Following the service, Father Maurice was buried at Fairview Cemetery in Culpeper. Members of the Knights of Columbus, John J. Cempre Council; Joseph Kratochvil, Richard Hall, Leonard Bosworth Sr., Emilien Ouelette Sr., Edward Stapleton Sr., and Richard Batiste served as pallbearers. A Christian wake was held for family and friends on Monday, Nov. 19 at Clore Funeral Home in Culpeper. Memorial contributions may be made to the Father Maurice du Castillon Scholarship Fund, in care of Precious Blood Catholic Church, 401 N. Main St., Box 1625, Culpeper, Va. 22701. Fee Continued from page A-1 of other localities in Planning District 9. “We’ve got to nip this in the bud,” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked who had the final say on the fee schedule. Mr. McCarthy answered that there is a Waste Management Board whose members are appointed by the General Assembly and the governor which will set the final fees. Following the meeting Mr. McCarthy wrote a letter to the governor with copies to Rappahannock’s representatives in the General Assembly and to the Boards of Supervisors in Culpeper, Page, Fauquier, Madison, Warren and Albemarle counties, opposing the proposed fee schedule. Mr. Land of VACO also wrote to Wladimir Gulevich, Director of DWM’s Division of Technical Services stating that VACO believes that DWM should “receive adequate funding from the General Assembly to provide sufficient staff to expeditiously review applications for the permitting of solid waste facilities.” HOLIDAY SALE Save Up To 1 $4QO 1 100% Financing with no payments until Februaryl Systems Installed from [12” a week | Over 100 channels available Including pay-per-vlewl OFFER ENDS NOV. 30th _^ i/yzy = Call toll free (800) 544-7327 (703) 636-1068 Front Royal Responsible hosting party of holiday cheer “The last months of the year provide many occasions for parties and celebration,” said Tony Nicely, president of Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO). “But too often those happy occasions turn to tragedy because people choose to drink and drive.” Mr. Nicely offers the following tips to be sure your party guests have a good time and a safe trip home. • Serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and make sure guests know both kinds are available. • Frequently offer your guests food to balance their drinking. Serve food in waves to encourage return trips to the table, or walk food around the room. • Choose protein-oriented items and rich, starchy foods that will delay the absorption of alochol into the bloodstream. These include cheeses, seafood and pizza. • Serve drinks only upon request. • Serve normal (one ounce) por tions of liquor in mixed drinks. > ■ • Don’t serve individuals who appear to be intoxicated or impaired and don’t serve minors. ' ‘ • Avoid salty or sweet foods that make people thirsty. • Offer low-calorie foods to encourage the dieting drinker to eat as well as drink. • Close the bar at least an hour before the party is to €>nd. Bring on the non-alcoholic beverages and dessert. “If one of your guests becomes intoxicated despite your efforts, you have a responsibility to intercede and assure his or her safety,’’ Mi1. Nicely stressed. “Offer your extra bedroom or couch, find someone to drive the person home or call a cab. “If he or she insists on driving, take his or her car keys. Your guest may get upset or angry for the moment, but he or she will still be alive the next day to thank you,” he said.1 Schools Continued from page A-1 aged to find ways to include an interdisciplinary approach in their instruction but that there is not much research now available on “interdisciplinary models.” PTO President Jean Berta said, “Right now the PTO doesn’t have that kind of money, and I don’t see in the future how we can get up the money. We’re trying to raise money to put curtains in the cafeteria.” Laurie Marshall praised Dr. Gangel’s “wonderfully positive response” to the group’s suggestions and added, “I’m willing to address raising funds for this purpose.” Dr. Gangel said the dollar amounts represent, “goals. There are all sorts of fall back positions.” He said he would need a response soon from the PTO if he is going to change the class to be taught this spring. In other action, the School Board: • saw a demonstration of on-line research by 12th grader Matt Eidson. Matt is one of the chemistry and physics students doing on-line research for a paper using a databank in California. Money for the research time and phone line being used comes from a grant from the Ameri can Chemical Society. • heard a presentation on the juvenile justice system, presented by: Commonwealth Attorney Pete* Luke. • • learned that with cutbacks in state funds the state is no longer pushing school systems without middle schools to develop middle-school; educational programs. Allison Continued from page A-1 Fauquier Sheriff Ashby Olinger said that Allison’s vehicles, proplerties and bank accounts have been seized by federal authorities. Allison’s felony conviction came on April 9, 1980, when Loudoun Circuit Court Judge Carleton Penn sentenced him to three years in thte state prison for shooting Arthur F,. Stewart Jr., according to court records. His sentence was suspended, but he served six months in the Fauquier work release program, according to his court file. He was released from probation in 1984, although his court file indicates that he tested positive for alcohol and cocaine use while on probation.

The Flint Hill Club was named the top club for the year. From left, Margaret Dodson, Janet Eastham, Elsie Dodson, Flo Duvall and Mrs. Pullen. The honors were bestowed at the Homemakers’ annual Achievement Night. Mrs. Pullen's efforts earn honor as Extension Homemaker of Year By MARGARET DODSON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Alice Pullen’s “kin family” is two daughters, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. But she reaches out to many others - a large unofficial extended family. She babysits the “greats,” is generous with her time, helps friends, neighbors, the sick and numerous worthy causes. She does not drive, but she does get around. Her good works are well-known. Mrs. Pullen attends Flint Hill Methodist and Baptist (Old School) Battle Run Church. She is a member of the Methodist Women’s group, Flint Hill Extension Homemaker’s Club, the Auxiliary of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire Company. She helps with the Aileen Company’s annual bloodmobile, as well as the EHC blood mobile. She is a volunteer at the Senior Nutrition Center, and is an avid gardener. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (holidays excluded), Mrs. Pullen boards the van for her six-hour stint at the Senior Nutrition Center at Trinity Episcopal Church. She helps serve food, cleans whatever needs cleaning, and is a friend to the “seniors.” If a senior needs a little sewing done, Mrs. Pullen is available. She often takes the garment home. Just little things like buttons and hems are what she does, according to her daughter, Frances. Her daughter told about the woman, bent with age, whose dresses were much longer in the front. Mrs. Pullen came to the rescue. borne seniors no longer maintain a home. Such seniors spend part of the year in Rappahannock and then go to live with another child. Mrs. Pullen writes letters to let them know what is going on at the Center. She is also writing a sick homebound senior. She thinks it’s important that he continue to feel a part of the Center. Mrs. Pullen is a salesperson. She sold 100 plus “Old Family Recipe” cookbooks, the proceeds from which benefit the Senior Nutrition Center. The cookbook is a senior citizen product. Mrs. Pullen’s recipes are in this book. She is a good cook and is noted for pie and pound cake. She always helps with the Seniors’ July 4th Bake Sale and then helps serve the Washington Fire Company’s barbecue dinner. There are fun events at the Center. Mrs. Pullen has been known to dance at such times. I hear it’s a mean Charleston! She is a senior, but she has more energy than a gang of teenagers. Mrs. Pullen is chief hotdog chef at the Flint Hill Fire Company’s carnival. Her hearty laugh adds to the joy of the carnival. She helps with all auxiliary dinners and projects. Mrs. Pullen’s flowers add beauty to many events. This year she has given flowers for a baby shower, weddings, and to our Extension Homemaker sponsored Volunteer Dinner. For the past few weeks her dahlias have added to the service at Flint Hill Methodist. She is just as generous with her plants as with her flowers. Tuesday last found Mrs. Pullen helping serve an appreciation luncheon to persons who have helped with the Women’s Financial Information Program. She is always willing to lend a helping hand. Her 1990 Extension Homemaker activities include serving dinner at Camp Fantastic on Rappahannock Night, serving at the Baccalaureate Tea for RCHS’s senior class, contributing food and selling at our county bake sale, being a hostess at the Farm Show, making favors for Area 9 Day, and helping with the Extension Homemakers bloodmobile. The Red Cross mobile unit asked that she help. She has worked with them a number of times. She has perfect attendance for this year.

Colonial Christmas celebrates tradition, heritage of holidays With streets laid out exactly as surveyed by 17-year-old George Washington in 1749, Washington, Virginia, is still today a tranquil village, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Though its population hardly exceeds that of two hundred years ago, Washington is now a quiet blend of longtime residents and artists and Craftspersons who have fled the busy-ness of the city for the ease and charm of rural life. Together they celebrate the Christmas holidays by reenacting colonial traditions. The rich tradition and quaint charm of historic Washington, come to life on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 1-2, with daylight and candlelit tours, open houses at the shops and bed-and-breakfasts, colonial dancing and entertainment, carollers and bonfires, a variety of craft demonstrations and colonial meals both days at local restaurants. First person “character” tours and historic tours of the art and architecture of the town will take visitors through the streets laid out by George himself in 1749. Beginning at noon each day, the tours will leave every hour, concluding with candlelit tours through the gaily decorated streets at night. Tours will highlight a tastefully restored log home, contrasted with a new building constructed from logs salvaged from an old bam, the im pressive Courthouse complex, and the inviting bed-and-breakfasts. Strolling carollers will bring back fond memories of country Christmases past. Throughout the village prominent professional crafters will be demonstrating their art. Demonstrations will include a variety of quilting techniques, silver and gold smithing, gold gilding, basket making, gingerbread ornaments, decorative painting by an American folk artist, creations from local plants and dyes, and resotration and reproduction of traditional lighting, as well as an exhibit at Middle Street Gallery. Numerous children’s activities will include a children’s Christmas bazaar and gift-making program, photos with Santa, and a Christmas puppet show by Bob Brown, “Story of the Nutcracker,” at the Child Care and Learning Center. Guests of the village will be treated to refreshments at many stops around town, but a special treat of the celebration will be colonial meals served at local restaurants. Come sample the delectible tastes of peanut soup, Cornish game hens, traditional salt-cured and glazed ham, chicken and dumplings, Sally Lund bread and combread, Brunswick stew, and a variety of traditional desserts, including apple, pumpkin and pecan pie. A highlight of the celebration will be the live entertainment. From the traditional elegance of the minuet and Baroque and Renaissance chamber music to the rich ballads and tales of the troubadour, visitors will enjoy traditional colonial music and dancing. Festivities will include a community bonfire and carolling. Saturday evening will be capped by a live performance at the Town Hall of “Paths to the Edge,” by the award-winning Ki Theatre performance group. Area Christmas tree farmers will join this year’s celebration, offering visitors a brisk “cut-your-own” walk through acres of fir, pine, and spruce. Parking and admission to the Colonial Christmas week-end festivities are free to the public. For a detailed list of the weekend’s events and for further information, call Country Heritage, (703) 675-3738. “Come experience the joyous sights and sounds of a traditional colonial Christmas in the 1st Washington of them all!” said a spokesman for the Washington Business Council, which sponsors the event. The Washington Business Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting historic Washington, Virginia, as a national treasure. RAAC seeks new quarters Arts organization quits Gay St Theatre By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Sunday was moving day for the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, as volunteers began packing up the RAAC office and relocating it from the Gay St. Theatre to the packing house at the comer of Gay and Porter Street. RAAC’s lease on the Gay Street Theatre expires Nov. 30, and the community arts organization was unable to agree with theatre owner Wendy Weinberg on the terms of a new lease, according to former president and RAAC director Diana Bird. “Negotiating a new lease of the recently refurbished and air-conditioned building proved impossible owing to what might be called a failure of each party’s bringing its goals and responsibilities into focus with the other’s,” Mrs. Bird said in a written statement delivered to the Rappahannock News on Monday. “RAAC and Mrs. Weinberg have parted amicably and the organization hopes that on particular occasions it will rent the theatre on an ad hoc basis,” she added. Mrs. Weinberg agreed with Mrs. Bird’s feeling, adding, “It just seems to make sense, both to RAAC and to me. I’m sorry that they are going in one way — but I would hope to get the theatre used even more. If RAAC can use the theatre more often, that is so much the better.” Mrs. Bird saia tnat, at least tor the immediate future, RAAC’s popular weekly film series will remain at the theatre. Mrs. Weinberg said she will meet with Dr. William Young on Wednesday to discuss the future of the film series. “I’m enthusiastic,” she said. “I hope that as a joint community service we can work something out. I want to do that.” Mrs. Bird said that RAAC plans to pursue a variety of avenues to stage programs, including the high school auditorium, the Town Hall, and perhaps the old Washington School on Mt. Salem Ave., now owned by William Carrigan. “Some RAAC members have always felt that RAAC’s occupancy of the theatre identified it too strongly with Washington when it is a community-wide organization,” Mrs. Bird said. “Others have believed the unique characteristics of the theatre has given RAAC a rallying image and secure home. ” She noted that Saturday evening’s performance by cellist Mary Fraley and pianist Stephen Dubberly “displayed the theatre at its best — the excellent acoustics and the intimate setting for chamber music, selected with great sensitivity, made every note played distinct and resonant.” Mrs. Weinberg attended Saturday evening’s concert, and her reaction was enthusiastic as well. “I’d love to get more classical music into the theatre.” She also said she senses a demand for live theatre, and hopes that opening the theatre up to use by more groups might encourage a greater diversity of performances. “I would like to help supply that, but I’m not quite sure how to do that.” Following RAAC’s departure, Mrs. Weinberg, her plans for the theatre are “in a state of flux.” She said she is open to suggestions and comments from members of the community who have ideas about how the theatre might be used. She invited anyone with suggestions to call her at her home in Arlington, (703) 534-9390. For RAAC, Mrs. Bird said, the “new circumstances can be seen as another phase, a challenging one, in the group’s development. . . RAAC’s vacating its offices and occupancy of the Gay St. Theatre in no way alters its mission to bring entertainment to the community. Rather it poses a challenge its members and officers expect to meet with creativity.” Theatre troupe seeks auditions Olde Towne Theatre, a new, professional theatrical production group that has recently relocated to Washington, will hold its first open call audition for a show at the Gay Street Theatre. The newly re-fiirbished, 263-seat theatre will be the home of Olde Towne Theatre after 15 years in the “big city arena,” according to company principal Sheree Reinholt-Kren. The final play selection will be determined at the close of auditions, based on the talent available, Ms. Kren said. The one day audition will be held at the Gay Street Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 24 from noon to 2 p.m. Actors are asked to prepare a short three-minute monologue and bring picture and resume if available. All supporting and secondary roles will be cast at this audition. Leads may be cast from out-of-town if necessary. “Experienced actors are encouraged to attend and get involved wtih Old Towne Theatre’s first production in Washington,” Ms. Kren said. All actors and technical crew will divide a small percent of the net profits on productions at the theatre. Of special interest to future directors, OTT will appoint a stage manager for the March show who will receive full training as part of the student directorship program to be implemented, she added. Directors for OTT must complete a 12-month internship as stage manager and three productions as asst, director before they take the reins for their own show. Sheree Rainbolt-Kren will produce this first endeavor and Frank Kren will take the director’s chair. Both will make the final casting decisions. For more information, call (703) 675-1157.

The aroma of turkey, sage and pumpkin pie fills the air on this Thanksgiving Day, as each one is seated around the table in eager anticipation. Then, from the head of the table, a voice is heard: “Now, let us return thanks." How do we return thanks to God for those gifts He has given to us? Certainly, it is important to thank God in prayer. Yet, is it not also appropriate to show the Giver our appreciation by the very use of those gifts? If God has given you strength.. .lift up the weak; hope. ,. encourage the hopeless; joy.. . shower it on all you meet; a talent. . . use it to enrich the lives of others; financial success. . . share with those who have not. God has given each of us the gift of His merciful love, that we might "love thy neighbor as thyself." Yes, we each have our own special gifts. So, may your Thanksgiving Day be fulfilling and memorable, and on this day and every day, let us truly return thank*.

Day REALTOR MORTGAGE DEDUCTION CONCERN Unless you wheel-and-deal in higher finance, your largest tax deduction is probably the interest on your mortgage. Now, there is concern that this deduction may be on the 'hit list’ of revenue-raising Congressmen. There is discussion about lowering the deductible amount. This is not a new approach, in 1987, Congress set a $1 million tax deductible cap on the total mortgage debt for first and second homes. Realtors and homebuilders fought this bill and lost. There was not enough support from the average taxpayer who reasoned: "it will only affect the rich.' Realtors' true fear was the "camel's nose under the tent" syndrome. Once on the books - in ANY amount - it would be easier to just lower the cap In the future. Congress can expect the fight of its life if it tries to reduce this cap significantly. Nothing is more effective than a barrage of letters asking to defeat such a measure. if there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

Holiday foods and food for the troops By HELEN W. SMITH Horn* Extension Agent In my food and nutrition column this week, I’d like to share answers to several calls that have come in plus several recipes from the Culinary Hearts Cooking Class. Holiday foods It’s turkey time! The Extension Office is always glad to answer questions from consumers on nutrition and cooking. The USD A publication on “Talking About Turkey” tells you how to buy, store, thaw, stuff and prepare a turkey, and answers the most common questions. There are several other sources of information for consumers: • Meat and Poultry Hotline operated by USDA. The number is 1800-535-4555. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST for individual questions. Taped messages are available around the clock. • The Reynolds Metals Company, Consumer Products Division will be HOME ECONOMICS operating a Turkey Information Line. The number is 1-800-762FOIL. Hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST, 7 days a week from Nov. 12 through Dec. 31.

Food for the troops Several people have asked about foods that might be sent to military personnel in Saudi Arabia. The Food Science Department,at USD A offers some suggestions. There are several factors to consider in selecting foods to send including safety, quality, cost to transport, and religious beliefs of the Saudis. The loss of safety and quality is very rapid because of the extreme heat (as high as 150 degrees F in transit). Food may become unsafe because of bacterial or mold growth or insect infestation. Loss of quality may be due to melting, staling, or development of rancidity. Since it is not possible to control temperature, the nature of the food and the way it is packaged become the primary ways of insuring quality and safety. Foods with a low moisture content will hold up better than those with a high moisture content. Drop and rolled cookies are examples of low moisture foods. These cookies will be safe to consume — they aren’t likely to mold or support bacterial growth — but they may break in transit or become stale. Bar cookies (brownies, ect.) have a higher moisture content and thus are more prone to mold. The presence of moisture also speeds up the development of rancidity of nuts used in the cookies. Dried fruit is a possibility although mold growth and insect infestation are possibilities. Send those treated with sulfur dioxide or other preservatives and commercially packaged as the vacuum packaging excludes air. fflje ftappaljanitocfe iictos offers FAX MACHINE SERVICES To send information: Any U.S. destination $5.00-first sheet $2.00-each additional sheet To receive fax information: $4.00-first sheet $1.00 each additional sheet &appaf)annocfe iietosi Main St. Washington, VA. 703/675-3338 Fax: 675-3088 Hard candies that are individually wrapped would ship well. Bulk candies may soften enough to stick together. Fudge, caramels, mints, divinity, etc. will soften and even melt. Nuts that are vacuum packed and with antioxidants should be all right. Dried beverage mixes — lemonade and other fruit-flavored mixes, iced tea, and special teas or coffees, especially those packaged in individual servings, should be safe and of good quality. The weight of canned foods (juices, fruits, peanut butter, jelly, Vienna sausage, etc.) makes the cost of mailing prohibitive. Canned foods are also subject to quality loss at these high temperatures. Crackers, cereal and trail mixes, and beef jerky are other low moisture foods that would ship well. Popped popcorn or puffed cereal may be used as edible packing material. Storage of the food or other items and disposal of packaging materials in Saudi Arabia should also be considered. That special Christmas tin is not likely to find its way home! There are some items which cannot be mailed to military personnel in the Persian Gulf because of Saudi Arabian customs and postal regulations. These include alcohol, pork products, political materials, sexually explicit material, or material depicting nude or seminude people. Choose a durable cardboard box or plastic container. Line with waxed paper, foil, or plastic wrap. Wrap cookies individually or backto-back in pairs and place in snug JXappafjamtocfe JJetos now has direct lines for CLASSIFIED AND EMPLOYMENT ADVERTISING 1-800-852-4797 rows in the container. Use cushioning between layers and on top. These are the recommendations from USDA. Personally, I wish I weren’t writing about how to ship food to the troops. . .1 keep hoping and praying that they’ll all be home by Christmas and eating their Christmas cookies here in Rappahannock County. From the various news articles I’ve read, it appears that there is already an overabudance of cookies. One military person was quoted as saying “We’re cookied out.” Some individuals and groups may want to wait until after the holidays to send packages or find other persons to help. No doubt there are other opportunities in our community to help individuals and families with gifts of food. An alternative to sending food is to send nonfood items like cards, letters, games and puzzles, paper, envelopes, stamps, paperback books and similar things. Heart-healthy baked goods At our last session of the Culinary Hearts Cooking Class, we discussed baked goods and desserts. Here are three recipes from the tasting session that were all delicious! I think all of them would be a nutritious treat for the “Holidays.” Yes, it’s time to think about holiday baking! Spicy angel cake 1 package two-step angel cake mix 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves In large mixing bowl, sift together dry flour mixture from angel cake mix, the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Prepare and bake according to package directions. Invert and cool thoroughly' in pan. Remove from pan and cut into eighteen 1-inch slices. If desired, serve each slice with one tablespoon Maple Fluff Topping: stir 1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring into 1 cup frozen whipped dessert topping, thawed. Makes 18 servings, about 85 calories per slice of cake and 15 calories per tablespoon topping. Brown bread in a can 2 cups unsifted whole wheat flour 1 cup unsifted yellow commeal 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 medium) 1 cup buttermilk 3/4 cup unsulphured molasses 3/4 cup raisins In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, commeal, and baking soda. Stir in bananas and remaining ingredients. Turn into 3 greased and floured 1 pound coffee cans. Bake in 350 degree oven 45 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center of breads comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, turn out of cans, slice and serve warm. Tip; Loaves may be frozen. Thaw and heat in 350 degree oven or mi- , crowave oven. Yields 3 loaves. Yogurt dinner rolls 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1 tablespoon margarine, cut into small pieces 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 package active dry yeast 11/2 cups flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1 egg or the equivalent in egg substitute 1 teaspoon chervil 1 tablespoon grated onion 11/4 cups flour Margarine to grease bowl and muffin tins 1. Heat together yogurt, margarine, water, sugar and salt until margarine is melted. Let cool to just above body temperature (about 105115 degrees FI. 2. In a bowl, combine yeast, 1 1/2 cups flour and baking soda. When heated liquid ingredients have cooled, add to yeast-flour mixture. Add egg or substitute, chervil, celery seed and grated onion. Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 30 seconds. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. 3. Sstir in 1 1/4 cups more flour. Dough will still be moist and a little sticky. Place in a greased bowl, turning once. Cover with a towl or plastic wrap. Let rise until double, about 11/2 hours. 4. Place on a floured board and knead lightly. Divide into 12 even pieces, form into round balls and place in well greased muffin tins. Cover, let rise about 40 minutes. 5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees> F. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from tins immediately. Serve hot or at room temperature. Yield: 1 dozen rolls, 140 calories each. Notes; The rolls freeze well and. go especially well with soups, roasts and low-fat cheeses. Practically any herb or spice can be substituted for the chervil, de-. pending upon what you will be servr ing with the rolls. For example, , caraway seeds would taste good if the rolls are accompanying a cheese sauce. Lemon verbena, while difficult to,, locate, is another delicious substitution.

The Bible says in Proverbs, “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase.” Along with other Christians, Christian Science congregations will hold a traditional Thanksgiving worship service on Thursday, Nov. 22 for all in the community who desire to share their gratitude to God for His love, care, and healing presence on this special day, according to a church spokesman. This year the one-hour service at First Church of Christ, Scientist, 311 Jackson Street, Warrenton, will begin at 10 a.m. Members of the congregation will have the opportunity to express what the spiritual import of thanksgiving and of God’s abundant blessings mean to them in the spirit of such Scripture as II Corinthians: “God is able to make all grace abound towards you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” The church service also includes hymns of praise, prayer, and a short sermon of Bible readings selected for the Thanksgiving season along with passages from the denomination’s textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by church founder, Mary Baker Eddy. Commenting on the fruits of relying on God, her book says, “Spiritual living and blessedness are the only evidence, by which we can recognize true existence and feel the unspeakable peace which comes from an allaborbing spiritual love.” Care will be provided fpr children too young to attend the service.
