Welfare Dept, gets reprieve Advisory panel says options deserve study By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahwinock New* Staff Writer The state’s plan to save $2 million by requiring theconsolidation of small, largely rural Social Services offices, including Rappahannock’s, was dealt a setback when the advisory committee appointed to study implementation of the plan instead advised that the departments not be consolidated, at least not in time to take effect with the next fiscal year. Deputy Secretary for Health and Human Resources Robert Vassar, who chaired the advisory committee, said, “The Advisory Committee established to determine how best to do it within the time frame, concluded that it could not be done in the time frame suggested. ” He said the committee “recommended that the time frame be extended and the secretary (Health and Human Resources Secretary Howard Collum) identify other ways to meet the required savings.” He said the committee tried to find other ways to meet the required savings, but the only other suggestion of “across the board” cuts failed to win a majority of the committee. Mr. Vassar said that Secretary Collum would consider the committee’s recommendation but might choose still to recommend the consolidation. He said Gov. L. Douglas Wilder had signed off on the plan as a way to meet the department’s budgetary shortfall without sacrificing client services. See WELFARE, p.A-6 I Spirit of the season fills county with cheer • • • By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer It’s beginning to look, sound — and feel — a lot like Christmas. Green garland dips low over doorways while holly berries add a touch oi color to wreaths found nearly everywhere. And while moderate temperatures keep daytime temperatures warm this year, winter is just around the comer with threats of snow, ice and cold rain. Regardless of the weather, the next two weeks will be busy for just about everyone as Santa’s helpers rush for last minute items and groups organize for Christmas celebration. A group of singers fromWashington Baptist Church are planning a community Christmas caroling around the town on Saturday, Dec. 22, beginning at 5 p.m. Songs of Christmas may contribute to making the season festive and fun. Keeping with tradition, Rappahannock County students will present two programs for parents and the community. “The fifth, sixth and seventh grade students, combined, will present winter and seasonal music,” choral director Melinda Russell said, adding the chorus, numbering more than 60, are doing something somewhat unique this year, adding movement to their production, presented to the public on Thursday, Dec. 13, at 7:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock County Elementary School gymnasium, following the spaghetti supper sponsored by the seventh grade class. Adding movement, choregraphed by Mrs. Russell, to songs like “Christmas That Almost Wasn’t,” “It Must be Santa,” “Twas the Night Before Christmas,” and “Reindeer Rap,” offers a new beat to the annual event. “Adding movement was something very different for the students,” Mrs. Russell said, adding the youngsters are not accustomed to moving with song and were somewhat hesitant at first. “They are doing a great job,” she said of the results. The Rappahannock County High School band, a group numbering 27 eighth through 12th graders under the direction of David Orth, will begin the high school Christmas program on Tuesday, Dec. 18, at 7:30 p.m. in the Rappahannock County High School auditorium with a classic march. The choral concert, directed by Mrs. Russell will present a program with secular and traditonal Christmas songs. The See CHEER, p. A-3 I... but depression too often mars holidays By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though most peopie look forward to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays as a happy time, for too many people the season brings stress and depression. “The holidays are always played up so big through advertising on radio and TV to be such a fantastic, great happy time,” said Linda Mock, clinic director of Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock. “For a lot of people, however, that is not their reality.” For people without close family ties, for those with mental or emotional difficulties, or without the economic resources to live up to the expectations created by the holidays, happiness can often turn to depression. Ms. Mock said she expects that this year will produce even more cases of holiday depression, since families affected by the softening economy or with loved ones on military duty in the Persian Gulf will also face a reality that doesn’t jive with the advertisers’ pipe dream of Christmas. Gary Rafala, a counselor at FGS with extensive experience in treating people from dysfunctional families, including alcoholic and abusive histories, said those people also often face chronic bouts of depression around the holidays. “The emphasis on the family reminds them of what they lack, what they miss, what they yearn for.” The holidays also often trigger memories of their childhood — memories which are usually clouded by unpleasant reminders of a parent’s excessive drinking or abusive behavior. Perhaps during the holidays their alcoholic father drank more, Mr. Rafala explained, and their mother got more angry the longer it continued. “The family’s expectation of sobriety was dashed,” and Christmas becomes an anniversary of a big fight that ruined the holiday. “The holiday becomes associated with dysfunctional episodes” rather than happiness, he said. Ms. Mock noted that those “anniverSee BLUES, p. A-3 Tree farmers see green season Rappahannock’s Christmas tree growers are hoping for a good year this season. For some of them last year, with snow on the back roads during both of the busiest weekends for customers, was a disaster. One who had success last year is the county’s first grower to plant Christmas trees for the cut-your-own business. Amissville resident William Keim said that he normally only sells one weekend a year. When the road was ice-covered last year, he decided not to open. He put . a chain across his driveway and a sign that said he would sell to customers with four-wheel drive vehicles only. He sent his assistants home. By Sunday the roadside was lined up with parked cars and his customers walked in to purchase their trees from Quail Call Farm. He sold over 400 trees that day. Capt. Keim says he has not advertised for years, and about three years ago he decided to cut his business back by no longer sending out notices to customers on his mailing list. However, loyal customers know he is normally open the second weekend in December and they keep coming, he said. He said he now has children and grandchildren of his original customers coming. “They are nice people who have been our customers for years,*’ he said. “They come from all over the state.” Capt. Keim said he used to sell three times as many trees as he is selling now. He decided to cut back because “help is going down in quality and quantity,” he said. He continues to plant trees, but fewer than in earlier years. He sells white and Scotch pine, Norway and blue spruce and frazer fir. He will again be open for business the first weekend of December next year. Barney O’Meara said that this year is much better than last. His location, on Route 607 between Woodville and Slate Mills, involves several miles of back country roads, so he has to make up in marketing for what he lacks in location. He said that he thought the early Thanksgiving this See TREES, p.

Some borrowers have been sadly surprised. Since lenders take a risk when committing to a fixedrate loan, they often put in conditions. For example: A commitment can become null and void if the borrower fails to qualify, the appraisal falls short of the contract price, the loan isn't closed before the commitment expires or a third party fails to provide necessary documents. To protect themselves against wide swings in interest rates, some lenders will insert a clause which releases them if rates change more than a certain amount. Often, fine print clauses allow the lender to back out should the original terms no longer be advantageous. This is why it is extremely Important that the buyer utilize the services of a real estate professional such as myself.

Blues Continued from page A-1 sary dates” can become terribly significant markers which mar otherwise happy occasions. She pointed out that, for the family of the Prince William County police officer killed serving a warrant on Thanksgiving morning, the holiday will always be the anniversary of his death — perhaps never again to be celebrated as a joyful occasion by that family. Mental health professionals say that for many people, the holidays can be a formula for depression. Often, however, the real problems do not appear until after the holidays. “They can hold it together through the holidays,” Mr. Rafala said. “They are determined to keep it together, deny the problem, so they don’t ruin it for others. But they they have problems.” That determination and denial, he added, “is as telling as the depression itself.” The seasonal change in daylight hours, lack of holiday feelings, possible increases in alcohol and/or drug use, the isolation and lack of physical activity caused by winter weather; these factors add up to a marked increase in clinical diagnoses of depression during January, February and March, the counselors said. Depression is a continuum, as are most illnesses, whether physical or mental. Cancer is a physical analogy. Diagnose it early, and you may spend the afternoon in the hospital having a minor operation, or be treated solely as an outpatient. Let it go, and treatment may require longterm hospital care. Without treatment, it can kill you. Depression, if left untreated, can kill as surely as cancer. Symptoms of depression have been found to be universal, and the majority of cases evidence one or more of the clinically accepted signs. An important point to remember is that depression varies from mild bad moods to thoughts about, or attempts to commit, suicide. Clinically, depression is not diagnosed until the symptoms have continued for at least two weeks. Usually there is more than one indication. “There is a difference between “the blues’ and clinical depression,” Ms. Mock emphasized. Everybody has trouble falling asleep once in a while. That’s not depression. That is more likely the mind and/or body’s reaction to an immediate problem in the individual’s life. Research has established that depression is a biological illness caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Research has also established that treatment of the illness is most effective when medication is combined with counseling. Medication treats the chemical imbalance, eliminating the biological cause, while counseling helps the individual to cope and deal with life more effectively. Ms. Mock said she is a great believer in exercise as potent therapy against depression. Running, walking, hiking in the woods and cutting wood are all good exercises both for the body and the mind. Scientific research has provided some evidence that exercise may, in fact, assist in altering imbalances in the brain by stimulating the production of some chemicals and inhibiting others. Finding someone to talk to, particularly a professional with experience in treating depression, is another important tool in coping with depression. Increasing involvement with others is also beneficial. Learning to relax, making time to have fun, doing something new or doing something for someone else usually has a positive effect. “Take the focus off yourself,” Ms. Mock suggested. “Try Need help? Find it here One of the points stressed by Linda Mock and Gary Rafala, counselors at Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock, as they explained depression, is that it is an illness with a biological cause. It is not something to be ashamed of. Many people suffer from it at one time or another. Another positive aspect is the disease’s high response rate to treatment. More than 80 percent of those who receive treatment find relief. The sad part is that less than half of those who suffer a depressive episode actually seek professional help. Most depression can be treated on an outpatient basis, usually using some combination of medication and counseling. If you suffer from depression, or know someone who does, there are agencies in the area which can help. • Family Guidance Services/Community Mental Health: Units in the five counties served by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center. All have 24-hour hotline numbers. The hotline is staffed nights, weekends and holidays. There is a counselor on call at all times to help callers with situations requiring immediate assistance. Other callers will be referred to their local FGS office. (All numbers are area code 703): Rappahannock: 675-3329 Culpeper: 825-4242 Fauquier: 347-7620 Madison: 948-5911 Orange: 672-2718 • FGS/CMH operates a Sul> stance £buse Services office in Culpeper (825-4242). They can also provide consultation on available programs for those whose depression is aggravated by substance abuse problems. All FGS/CMH program fees are charged on a sliding scale based on income. • There are also a number of mental health professionals and clinics in the area in private practice. Most are experienced in the treatment of depression, or would refer inquiries to someone who is. They can be found in the “Yellow Pages” of the telephone book under Mental Health Services. giving to others instead.” Perhaps offering to take an elderly neighbor shopping, or watching another neighbor’s children so they can go shopping alone (or taking the children shopping for gifts for their parents) are all possible remedies. For those whose holiday depression is caused by life events: death of a spouse, breakup of a marriage or other traumatic happening, changing the holiday rituals can be helpful. “Do something different than what you’ve done before. Start a new ritual — something associated with new, happy memories.” Above all, Ms. Mock and Mr. Rafala cautioned, do not deny the depression. “Talk with a friend, a minister or a counselor, to more fully understand the problem and how to deal with it.” Most importantly, they cautioned, don’t give in to the temptation to overindulge in alcohol or drugs during the holidays. Cheer Continued from page A-1 program will conclude with a traditional seasonal march. Both programs are free to the public though a donation in support of the programs is always accepted. Santa is a busy elf during this season and in past years, several groups have become his assistants with their support of local Christmas programs. Community support is what makes the local food and gift drive sponsored by the Rappahannock County Social Services productive and continuous. “We’ve had a pretty good response so far this year,” office manager Marie Davis Said of the drive, which is accepting any canned or boxed food stuffs and similar non jerishable items. Foods like boxed ituffing, canned cranberry sauce or vegetables and other side dishes for Christmas dinner are particularly welcomed, although staples like cake nixes with icing, jelly and peanut Dutter and oranges are also needed. “We could do better, though,” Mrs. Davis added. “There are a ?reat deal of people in a bad way who need our help. Last year we did 35 baskets to help those in need. This year, so far, we have just enough to do about 30. And there is a greater need,” she said. “We hate to make a judgement call and eliminate those who may need to help others,” she said, adding this may need to be done if enough goods or money are not received. Those interested in making cash contributions to the fund should know that any amount is welcome.

She estimated the department will need about $1,500 to fill the baskets. “Anyone, from anywhere, can give any amount,” Mrs. Davis said, adding that contributions of varying amounts come from local churches, civic groups, and individuals. In addition to turkeys and trimmings for the holiday baskets, the department also has a small fund to distribute to foster parents for gifts for their foster children. For foster families of limited means, she said, the cash may mean the difference between the foster child getting a Christmas present or not. “Also, if a church or social group, or just a person, would like to help a I family,” Mrs. Davis suggested their contacting the Social Services office as soon as possible. “They can provide them with food for the day or take them shopping or whatever,” she said, stressing that each family’s idenity is kept confidental until the family agrees to its release. “We can provide the giver of the receiving family’s composition, size and need,” she explained, if the family chooses to remain annoymous.

Daddy seemed to be able to do anything he put his mind to do. He always had a plan and followed it to the last degree. If Dad was going to do it -- it had to be done right. He held many occupations during his lifetime and he seemed to enjoy each one equally well. From being a cook, a hauling/moving business owner, restaurant owner, carpenter, plumber, mechanic, chauffeur, and gardener/caretaker. Dad was happiest when he was involved with any one of the following people or activity: -nis icuiiiiy •His friends -Curing country hams -His neighbors -Storytelling -Hot summer days -The out of doors -Gardening -The birds singing -A ride thru a country hollow -The Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Assoc -A sunset over old Rag Mountain -Good singing and good preaching -A good marching band -1 no opouyvino i igors oasooaii wuo -Making homemade peach ice cream -Helping others -Pitching horse shoes -Building or fixing something with his hands -His Dog, Max -His Godson, Lee -Sunny Fountain Lodge #1897 -The Ministers and Deacons Union -His church, Shiloh -His Lord and his God -A good meal -A football or baseball game i wisn to close witn a poem tnat uad used on more than one occasion.

Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue and damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog, in public duty and in private thinking. God give us men - a time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands!

Chunk WtOnUt, Vk Co-op memberships to vote on merger By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The memberships of the Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative ahd the Orange-Madison Farmers’ Cooperative will vote next Wednesday on a plan to merge the two companies. The merger, which has been approved by both cooperatives’ boards of directors, would combine the two operations and increase the efficiency of both, according to OrangeMadison Board President Willis “Monk” Sanford. The merger plan was suggested by the Orange-Madison Co-op, which has been operating at a loss for the past three years. Mr. Sanford estimated that the co-op will lose about $400,000 this year, bringing its total losses to approximately $1 million. The Orange-Madison Co-op’s financier, Baltimore Bank of Cooperatives, has told the co-op board that it cannot continue to extend its financing indefinitely, forcing the cooperative to seek a solution to its debt problem, Mr. Sanford said. He said he met last week with one of the bank’s senior managers in Atlanta, and found his reaction to the merger plan “very favorable. He thought it is our best option; that it is best for both co-ops.” Among the alternatives explored, he said, were a merger with the Culpeper Cooperative, a management takeover by Southern States Inc., or a sellout to a private company. The latter two options, he said, were “not favorable” because the coop members would lose local control of the company. Farmers’ cooperatives are wholy owned by their members, who must approve any proposals made by the board of directors. Only registered agricultural producers may be voting members. The Culpeper Cooperative has about 4,000 members and $20 million in annual sales, while Orange-Madison has 2,200 members and about $13 million in sales, according to Mr. Sanford. Part of any profits are returned to the cooperative members each year, and the rest are retained as equity in the business and used for operating expenses. That equity is repaid on a deferred basis, usually after a period of years, Mr. Sanford explained. The merger, he said, would involve writing off the Orange-Madison co-op’s debt, about $1 million, then merging its remaining assets, estimated at about $2 million, with the Culpeper cooperative. Those assets would be used to finance the cooperative’s operation, as they do now, he explained. The proposed merger has not met with the unanimous support of either Orange-Madison’s board of directors or its membership. Three of „ the board members voted against the merger plan. The Culpeper Cooperative’s board unanimously approved the merger plan. A letter mailed to all OrangeMadison co-op members and signed by 97 “concerned “co-op members” charged that “all possible solutions have not been explored in an openminded manner” by the board of directors. Although the merger would eliminate the opportunity for farmers to price-shop between the two cooperr atives, Mr. Sanford said, the ini creased buying power of the combined cooperatives will offer its members “better prices.” In addition, he said, it will result in cost savings through consolidation of management and field operations. The Orange-Madison co-op would close its Orange feed mill and shift, those operations to Culpeper, where there is plenty of capacity to handle the increased business, Mr. Sanford added. The memberships of both cooperatives will meet next Wednesday, Dec. 19. The Orange-Madison Co-op will meet at 4 p.m. at the Orange County High School, with voting open until 6 p.m. The Culpeper Coop will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Brandy Station fire hall. Approval of the merger will require a two-thirds vote of the cooperative members attending each meeting. fi Oldway Craft Village « * Presents: 1 Vi 'His Master's Blowpipe' Our 5th Annual Christmas Sale Featuring Glassworks Gallery's Handblown: Glass gifts for the discriminating buyer.

The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1990 Keeping holiday safe \ means taking time Tis the season of the year when newspaper pages are filled with articles and editorials cautioning holiday revelers • against drinking and driving. We join our colleagues in that plea, but we also urge our r readers to take time and care to keep the holidays safe in - other ways as well. Drinking and driving is a proven killer during the holidays, but it is not the only danger lurking ‘ about the Christmas cheer. As families decorate their homes for the holidays, take , time to make sure the decorations are safe as well as l beautiful. Don’t overload electrical outlets with plugs for the holiday lights, and resist the temptation to run extension j* cords under the rugs to reach those out of the way places. When buying a cut Christmas tree, select one with plenty of moisture left in it. Give it a good shake: if lots of ■■ needles fall off, it has begun to dry out. Make sure the tree is located away from space heaters, t radiators, woodstoves, fireplaces and other sources of heat. It • will last longer in a cool place, and the danger of fire is “■ reduced. Those lights on the Christmas tree are beautiful to look . at, but turn them off when you leave the house and when the { family goes to bed for the night. Lights, especially the large one, can generate a suprising amount of heat, which could \ cause a fire. And, never use real candles on a Christmas tree. Finally, when driving, watch out for the other guy. All 1 too often, people are preoccupied with their holiday plans and • their minds are not behind the wheel where they should be. ' Driving defensively may add a few minutes to the trip, but it may mean the difference between a happy holiday and a ’ memory of misery. Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage ON A COLD DECEMBER morning, fog hangs low around the Williams farm on Route 729. Letters to the Editor 'Thanks' from Garden Club i o tne editor: The ladies of the Rappahannock County Garden Club would like to thank everyone who supported our greens sale this year. We are especially grateful to Hugh Chrisman of The House of Dried Flowers, who always graciously orders our supplies at cost. Thanks to the many landowners in the county who allowed us to cut greens for the wreaths and garlands. Thanks too, to the men and w omen of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department who allow us to use their building and who often come to our rescue when one of our machines breaks down. We can’t forget the many garden club husbands who help with the hauling of greens and put up with the wanned over dinners during our week of work. Thank you! But most of all, thanks to all of you who ordered greens. Your contribution will help send two students to Nature Camp next summer. Of course we know that we couldn’t supply all of you who wanted a wreath or garland. We can only make so many and we are truly sorry. Next year we urge everyone to get their order in early. Merry Christmas to you all! HELEN HOLSCHUH Greens Chairman Rappahannock County Garden Club A round of applause for Colonial Christmas To the editor: On Dec. 1 and 2, my wife and I had the privilege of attending the Colonial Christmas activities in your wonderful little town. We so enjoyed the good food and warm friendly atmosphere of the local cafe. We toured the shops, and at the Viking Farm shop we met a very sweet little blond haired hostess who was absolutely charming. The tour guide was so adapt at giving us the local history, the ladies at the visitors center were so nice to us also. Then the day was topped off by the wonderful Colonial dancers. It was so authentic, just like a page out of the history books. Thank you all for a simply enjoyable and rewarding day. My wife is a native Virginian and I a Yankee (New Englander) I can truly say I have experienced true Southern hospitality. You all deserve a big round of applause. HENRI R. DEMAIRE Culpeper WHAT DO YOU THINK pj1/ — I THINK WE BETTER REPORT THIS TO THE GENERAL/ — m I Co-op merger opposed To the editor: The following open letter was addressed to the members of the Orange-Madison Cooperative Farm Service. As you are aware, your cooperative is experiencing serious financial difficulties which the Board of Directors is attempting tb remedy. You will soon be called upon to make a decision regarding OrangeMadison’s future. A majority of the Board of Directors and Management have decided and are encouraging you to vote in favor of merging with the Culpeper Farmers Cooperative. These are the same Board Members and Management who failed to take preventive action against these problems in the past and allowed them to continue causing the difficulties we find ourselves in today. Such a merger may be indeed beneficial to all members, however, we feel that all possible solutions have not been explored in an openminded manner. Merger with Culpeper will end an organization that has served the agricultural needs of this area for over 50 years and certainly should not be rushed into without investigation of other alternatives including: 1) Southern States — This large, regional, Richmond-based cooper ative presented their management contract program to the Board of Directors whereby they would manage Orange-Madison until such time as it reached sound financial footing. They were not received in a hospitable manner by this same “Culpeper” majority, however, and discussions were ended with them. As a reault of the hastily entered into “letter of intent” between Orange-Madison and Culpeper, the representative from Southern States did not feel he could enter into specifics of what Southern States could offer to us, lest Southern States' be charged with interfering with the merger. 2) Continue to operate as Orange-Madison. but with new, competent management, and new financing under a Farmer’s Home Administration guaranteed loan. 3) Dissolve the cooperative, dispose of our assets and settle our accounts. 4) Qther ideas members may have. The co-op has large outstanding loans with the Baltimore Bank for Cooperatives and this organization must agree to any merger, reorganization, etc. that affects their repayment. If they try to force an unwanted merger, perhaps option (3) would be best. All other alternatives must be completely investigated. A merger with Culpeper will seriously harm farm supply competition in this area. Any alternative selected will be extremely important to the future of farming here and must be acted on with great care. We urge you to vote against the proposed merger with Culpeper and to instruct the Board of Directors to actively pursue other alternatives. Our Co-op has been very successful in the past. It has looked to the needs of the large and small farmer * and in this matter the small farmer’s vote is just as important as the larger farmer. Directors and Management owe it to you and other members to explore all alternatives, if we are to make an intelligent choice on this important matter. We do not understand in the interests of fairness why a vote on such an important issue would be scheduled for four o’clock in the afternoon, in Orange, on Dec. 19. - W. RAPLEYOWINGS Madison (Editor’s note: The letter was also signed by 96 other "concerned members” of the Orange-Madison Farmers’ Cooperative.) I Antifreeze can poison, kill pets BLACKSBURG - Don’t be careless when changing your antifreeze and clean up any spills or leaks from your car’s radiator, says a Virginia Cooperative Extension veterinarian. It could save your cat or dog’s life. Ethylene glycol, the active ingredient in antifreeze, is extremely toxic when swallowed by small animals, said Kent Roberts, Extension veterinarian at the VirginiaMaryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. “A big part of the problem is that dogs and cats like the sweet taste of this dangerous compound,” he said, “and only a small amount can cause a serious problem.” Ethylene glycol is colorless, odorless,and water soluable. It is absorbed rapidly once inside an animal’s stomach. The signs of a toxic reaction to antifreeze are nonspecific and may be confused with many other problems in the affected animal, Dr. Roberts said. “Common symptoms are vomiting, depression and loss of balance,” he said. “These may start as early as 30 minutes after swallowing ethylene glycol.” The poisoning process proceeds through various stages and ends in kidney failure as early as 24 hours after the poisoning occurs. Prompt treatment by a veterinarian is the only hope in most cases, Dr. Roberts said. And time is the critical factor in stopping irreversible damage done by ethylene glycol. “Many cats and dogs brought in for treatment have reached a stage where treatment is of no help,” he said.

Op-Ed Local weather lore is more than just old wives' tales By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The weather in Rappahannock County is not quite the same as anywhere else. It has something to do with the Blue Ridge Mountains, the gaps, the hollows, the forests and the nearby Atlantic Ocean. In England, where I grew up, the old saying goes: “Red sky at night, Shepherd’s delight.” There still are shepherds with their flocks on the Pennine hills, and what they mean is that a red sky indicates dry, calm, dusty air to the west (the Atlantic), and no storm will blow in for the next day or two. But here in Rappahannock you can get a red sky even when there is a storm on the way. The clouds gather over the mountains, and red sunlight glints underneath. »• A ring around the moon is equally misleading. It does not nec* essarily foretell bad weather for Rappahannock. The ring is caused » by ice particles in the clouds, reflecti ing colors like the crystal in a chandelier. In England, a ring around the ^ moon shows how a warm front is ® sneaking across the sky, but in Rappahannock it might only be a cool mountain cloud floating over the hol“' lows, going nowhere. I listen to Rappahannock i weather lore, because there is a lot of solid experience behind it. Take the saying: “Northeast winds bring gullywashers.” That is very true — ignore the words at your peril. A deep coastal storm blows moist air from the Atlantic over Philadelphia, and after it hits the Blue Ridge somewhere near Front Royal, all the water seems to drop out onto Rappahannock. The heavy rains gouge out gullies, and these left to their own devices become what Virginians call branches and runs. Long ago the American Indians called this spot the “land of fastflowing water” — they must have known all about the gullywasher!

Personally I think they are more like the Scandanavian trolls that supposedly lurk under damp bridges. Gullywashers will attack hillsides, rocky slopes, and culverts, but above all they love to pounce on new, gravel driveways. Fortunately they don’t come too often — maybe once or twice a year — but if you have just laid one of those long, traditional, country driveways of graded soil, packed with fresh stone chips, there is nothing more you can do except look through the window and watch the gullywasher do its work. Then, when the sun comes out, fill the gully, pack the gravel down again, and chances are the next gullywasher will go somewhere else, far away, over the hill, perhaps to a newer, more tempting driveway. Our driveway is old, and gullywashers now tend to give it a miss, but there were times when we had to grade and fill, sometimes by hand with wheelbarrow and shovel, because the rock-truck feared to go near the gully. I remember one night when my wife, Julia, was driving; it was raining so hard I couldn’t tell which way the wind was coming from. Later I learned it was from the northeast, and we were indeed driving through a genuine gullywasher. When we reached home, the long driveway to the farmhouse was littered with washed gravel, and water was roaring through the culvert beneath our wheels.

COUNCIL' GARDEN CENTER 143 Washington Street Member Virginia Nurseryman's Association 347-7100 saw that the bridge was washed out in the night. I didn’t take the incident lying down, though. I filled the gully and rebuilt the arch of the bridge with a good 10 tons of rip-rap rock, and with all praise to those gullywashing trolls, they moved away from our property and we haven’t been visited by them since then. On the brighter side, I like to see the yellow light of dawn on the distant Skyline Drive, and I like to feel the warm, moist southerly breeze with puffy clouds overhead, with flocks of small birds preening in the bushes. These are signs of good weather, with more to come. When the cattle are grazing and moving around, that’s another favorable sign, but when they lie down and face away from the wind, that, of course, foretells rain. I’ve heard it said in Rappahannock how when the smoke blows down around the house the weather is going to be stormy. I don’t know why this is, but it does seem to be true. Perhaps it is something to do with the white oak that fuels the stoves or fireplaces, or maybe the hilly terrain. Certainly down-blow ing smoke is caused bv gusty wind, and swirling wind is a forerunner of change. Perhaps, also, the warm smoke rising from the chimney is turned abruptly downward by a sinister layer of cold air above. Whatever the reason, it is considered to •be a bad sign.

Welfare Continued from page A-1 The downturn in the economy, which has created the need for reductions in state funding has also increased the damand for services, he pointed out. “Where do you reduce?” he asked. “There are 124 local departments, all of which have directors. In some instances the cost of administering a benefit is almost as much as the benefit.” One local department, the City of Richmond, has eight percent of the state caseload, while among the smaller agencies, 70 others handle a combined total of only 20 percent of the caseload, he pointed out. “It’s not clear that the reductions are over with,” he said. “We’re into the next round of reductions. There are less opportunities to find other areas to reduce.” He said the consolidation plan would eliminate 100 jobs, about 60 directors and 40 office managers. “There is a human inpact, and it’s better to look at something over a longer period. But it will be tough to follow the committee’s advice.” He suggested that localities may be asked to pick up more of the cost. “We have to find ways to meet the expanding caseloads as well as find further reductions. ” County Administrator John McCarthy told the Board of Supervisors of the governor’s plan during its meeting on Dec. 3. Mr. McCarthy said the state plan would not force the county to consolidate its office, but would no longer reimburse localities for salaries in offices that handle less than one and one-half percent of the total ?tate caseload. Rappahannock County Social Services Director Beverly Bowen said, “Everything is very tentative right-now.” She said that most of the , members of the advisory committee didn’t oppose the idea of consolidation, but “want to see it studied.” Under the proposed consolidation, she said, Rappahannock’s Social Service Department would be r Rappahannock Business & Service Directory 703/675-3338 Only $3.75 per week for a 1 inch space!

She said the office in Washington would be reduced from a staff of seven to five. Besides her position as director, Marie Davis’s position as office manager would also be eliminated. Mrs. Davis’s is responsible for the bookkeeping for the agency, keeping track of the separate budgets for each of the agency’s programs. “It’s not supposed to affect clients, but it would filter down to clients even though the direct line workers would still be here,” Ms Bowen said. “A lot of us are alarmed that the state is cutting a wide swath without looking at the local impact,” she said. She also said that state guidelines call for a supervisor for every five to seven people and that by the state’s own case load standards, social service agencies are understaffed statewide. She also noted that caseloads are rising all over the state. “They would be creating chaos in a system at the time it needs to be handling these people,” she concluded. T rees Continued from page A-1 year had gotten his customers ready for Christmas earlier. He has sold about 100 trees so far this year, and hopes to more than double that by the end of the season. The O’Mearas sell only white pine, but they are now planting Colorado blue spruce. Mr. O’Meara relies on his sons Patrick, 15, and Timothy, 12, for most of his labor, and he said the blue spruce are for when he loses his labor supply. The blue spruce will not require the labor in shearing that white pine do. The O’Mearas advertise in most of the local papers and donate trees to many area businesses where they leave their brochures. They also offer to donate $2 for each tree sold to the local non-profit agency of the buyer’s choice. Grace Boehm, who with her husband Jack bought Spring Hill Farm from Keeton and Aileen Barnes already planted in white pine, says she thinks business is a little slower this year than last. She has sold about 200 trees so far this year. Fanning Baumgardner’s Choose and Cut Christmas Tree Farm has the premier location, on U.S. 211 almost across from the high school. He said he expects to sell “more than 500” trees. He had a customer from Colonial Beach who picked out a 14-foot tali' tree he wasn’t able to take back, Mr. Baumgardner said. The man took back some smaller trees and expects to return this weekend with a truck to get the large tree. The most basic of Christmas tree ■ farms is the Kilpatricks’ Jubaleft Farm. The Kilpatricks have beep; selling trees for years, starting at Hawthorn Farm, across the road from their present farm on Route 618, one mile from Route 231. “We used to sell more trees when we first started,” said Sean Kilpatrick. “We had more variety, and there was less competition. Each year our share of the market seems to shrink.” ; Due to the disappointment of last season and to procrastination the Kilpatricks only got four rows ofpines sheared this year. “We are trying to convince people that there are advantages to unsheared trees* Mr. Kilpatrick said. “There are more spaces for hanging ornaments.” , All the county’s Christmas tree growers believe that the heart of their business is satisfied customers who return year after year.

At the end of the performance, no one wanted to go home. I have never before seen an audience sit, transfixed as this one was, even though they knew there was no encore. Part of the magic of the evening was owing to its variety. The first piece, “Mother’s Solo from Box 48,” danced by Deb Goff, mocks our fixation with food and recipes, especially foreign cooking. In this case, an Italian menu was featured. We saw a beautiful dancer in green, red and white put together a meal, all performed with effects that left nothing to the imagination. This combination of movement and voice was precise and humorous. Having caught the audience with lots of fun, Sally moved us to “A Woman’s Work” danced by Cynthia Thompson. Here we saw a development, recognizably in Sally’s style, performed with wit, grace and vigor, assisted with one dancing prop, a black ‘kerchief. “Underpinngs,” danced in negligee by Kate Trammell and Cynthia Thompson, was a sensuous, spirited production that seemed to contrast a statuesque, blond beauty of Norwegian cast with a fay, dark, slender, Mediterranean figure, both speeding across the dance floor in first night gown and camisole underwear and finally in modest blue lounging robes. This delightfully feminine exercise brought together individuals who turned out, when I talked with them after the performance, to be very little different in physical size, but who appear as marked contrasts in performance. They too projected beauty as well as skill. In this case, as in some of the other dances, the large floor space of the elementary school auditorium was fully engaged. “Sanskrit,” the premier new piece, employed five dancers, Shari Avenuis, Kim Doyle, Deb Goff, Nan Red< dick and Nina Stamer. It evoked many manifestations of water. .The performers, arrayed in similar, flowing garments that suggested the rushing, dancing nature of water, against a background of water music and sounds, through their movements not only imitated aspects of the sea and the Handmade with love Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan CREATING THEIR OWN CHRISTMAS cards at a workshop at Middle St. Gallery are, from left, Sam Wood, Phillip Thomas and Eric Thomas. The workshop was taught by artist Laurie Marshall. __ shore, but also brought hoimTto us the central role of water in our lives. Beautifully practiced to work together, the dancers engaged our attention with their multi-fceted manifestations of humanity in its relationship with nature. This evening was a triumph for the dancers, choreographer Sally Nash, and Betsy Toth, who designed the lighting. All the costumes were right and the music and other sound effects tied us to the action. Spiritually and intellectually, everyone went home nourished. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) sponsored and assisted in the preparations for the program. Diana Bird is a mem ber of the Board of Directors of RAAC and occasionally does reviews of musical and dramatic productions for the Rappahannock News. Letters from home boost spirits of soldiers facing Christmas holiday far from family and friends By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer There may be someone out there — someone you don’t know, someone who was once close, someone who is very dear — waiting for a word from you. It may be Lance Cpl. Vincent “Pops” Aylor of Sperryville, a name many Rappahannock readers will recognize. It may Rose Ann Sharps’ younger brother, 1st Lt. Charles Hyde from Newport News. It may be Lance Cpl. Steven Roland, the brother to young Tommy Roland, a student at Rappahannock County Elementary School or Staff Sgt. Bryan Blevins, a familiar face in Amissville and a Randolph-Macon Academy graduate. It may someone not mentioned, but someone close to your heart. This year, thousands upon thousands — an estimated 400,000 — American and allied servicemen and women spent Thanksgiving Day staring at sandy ridges, watching for the dangers of snakes and dehydration and the enemy beyond the shimmering sands. For them, the steaming turkey dinner on the dining table was just a mirage in the desert sands of Saudi Arabia. The prospects of Christmas greenery and holiday cheer is equally unlikely, as the probability of their duty extends through the next holiday season in a country where a Christian Christmas celebration is unacceptable. This year, a Christmas card, a New Year’s salutation or a birthday greeting could offer just enough encouragement to boost morale for one lone soldier, or for the whole battalion, as Operation Desert Shield keeps American military personal away from their families, in a country restricted by unfamiliar religious and social mores. In a homegrown effort to boost morale and show support for our countrymen in arms, the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution are calling for names, birthdates and addresses of men and women stationed in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Desert Shield. “Basically, anyone can send in a name of a soldier,” DAR member Mrs. Helen Fairfax of Washington said. The Rappahannock News has collected names of five servicemen with families in the county, and additional names will be published as they are submitted. “It does not have to be a local person,” Mrs. Fairfax said, adding “anyone can get a letter. It should not matter that they live four, five or six states away. It is someone’s cousin, or nephew or brother or sister or friend somewhere. ” “We want everyone to send a birthday card or greeting,” she said, adding the movement to correspond with those stationed in the Persian Gulf began after one member’s son was called to active duty there. 4— Where to write For county residents who wish to write to their neighbors serving in the Desert Shield operation in the Persian Gulf, their names, overseas addresses and birthdates are listed below. •Lance Cpl. Vincent S. Aylor: SSN 223-08-6265, G Btry, 3rd BN, 11th Marines, FPO NY 09503-9667. Cpl. AyloFs birthday is July 10, 1964. •1st Lt. Charles J. Hyde: B Co., 316 24th Infantry, Operation Desert Shield, APO NY 09315. Lt. Hyde’s birthday is April 24, 1965. •Staff Sgt. Bryan Herschell Blevins: SSN 226-13-7370, 9th SRW/OLCH, APO NY 09017-5000. His birthday is July 22, 1961. •Lance Cpl. Steven Roland: Delta Co., HQ Pit, 3rd Tank BN, USMC, FPO San Francisco, CA 96608-5525. His birthday is July 14,1967. •Cpl. Itichard A. Dodson: SSN 230-23-1476, Hotel Btry, 3-14 10th Marine Div., Camp Lejune, N.C. 28542. Cpl. Dodson is a Marine Reservist who was called to active duty at Camp Lejune to replace troops sent overseas. He is scheduled to leave for Saudi Arabia on Dec. 23. His birthday is Nov. 9, 1968. If there are additional servicemen or women with families in Rappahannock County, we urge them to contact the Rappahannock News with the names, addresses and birthdates of those family members. Additional names will be published as they are received by the newspaper. “It can be very lonely,” Mrs Fairfax said of the soldiers’ plight. “Morale has to be kept high,” Colonel E.P. “Pete” Luke of Sperryville said, adding it seems much of the general public has “forgotten” the men and women in the Persian Gulf. “It may be somewhat easier for those that are young and single,” he said of the soldiers’ condition. “It is more of an adventure,” he added, reflecting back to the early days when he was stationed in Europe. “It’s harder for a married man with a family,” he said, remembering his own time away from his family. “Those letters from family are very important.” “It lets the soldier know there is someone on the other side that cares about them and about what happens to them,” Col. Dieter Knuepfer of Flint Hill said. The WWII and Vietnam veteran remembers the mail call days well. “It’s difficult when you are out there for mail call and everyone’s name gets called but yours,” he said with a sadness bom of first-hand experience. “For this reason letters get traded and should be kept short, social and newsy,” he said, adding writers should refrain from alluding to politics and gas prices as each soldier knows well the politics of the situation and need not be reminded. “Stay away from politics and don’t demoan the fact that they are where they are,” he said, adding often a bunch of short letters from home are much more rewarding for the receiver than one long letter. “My family was a great writing family,” he said, adding letters came often and were treasured. “You are always anx ious to hear what’s going on at home.” “Write about who got married, who had the baby, who’s been divorced,” he said, explaining most soldiers enjoy a social-type letter. “No matter how many other things they have to make them comfortable, a letter offers a personal touch,” he said. That personal touch — that simple postcard or greeting card — could cost the sender as little, as 25 cents and boost morale for a soldier for a whole day, a whole week or even a month. “Mail sent to any fleet post office (FPO) or air post office (APO) box is sent at United States Postal rates,” Robert Faruk of the US Postal Service office at Merrifiold said, explaining postcards, letters and other written material and packages and boxes are charged according to postal rates and should arrive their destination in seven to 10 days. “With the holidays approaching, people should allow even more time for items to reach their destination,” he said, adding already the volume of mail to the gulf region has seen a “40 percent increase and rising.” Offering advice for those sending itemSj Mr. Faruk said packages should be marked in legible writing with heavy black or blue ink. Items should be marked inside the package as well as outside, with servicemens’ numbers marked clearly in order to avoid confusion and delays. Senders should refrain from using strings and wrappings as these items often tangle the postal machinery, causing delays and damages. “Seal boxes with pressure tape with addresses inside and out,” he suggested. I Besides a letter at mail call, a soldier may have use for small items which can be easily sent inside a greeting card or letter. “A hot commodity is powdered Gatorade,” Rose Ann Sharp of Sperryville relays from her brother, 25-year-old Charles. “They were trading it around,” she said, adding another item desired by .the women and men stationed in the hot desert was baby wipes. “Now that they have showers they may not be so cruial,” she said, adding her brother has been stationed in the Gulf for more than three months and has not seen his new daughter, born just three days after his departure. “I’m sure he would love getting letters and cards from people around here,” Mrs. Sharp said, adding most of his time is spent on the front lines as his platoon works with Bradley infantry carriers. “I know he said he has gained a whole new respect for the American military after his experience abroad,” Mrs. Sharp said, adding her brother enjoys football, hunting and fishing and other outdoor sports.‘His birthday is April 24. In April, LCPL Vincent “Pops” Aylor, son of Rachel and Russell Aylor of Sperryville, will have spent his four years in the United States Marine Corps and be eligible for discharge. Until then, he is marking his time in the Saudi desert as part of Operation Desert Shield. “I did not even believe him when he told me he was going to join the corps,” his mother, Rachel Aylor of Sperryville, said. “Now, look where he is.” “I’m sure he would like to get letters from home,” Mrs. Aylor said,, adding “when he writes home he always wants to know about the sports in schools and what’s going on.” Pops, bom July 10, is a Rappahannock County High School graduate, was active in school sports and attended Lord Fairfax Community College before joining the Marines. He likes baseball, basketball and other sports as well as hunting and fishing. “Several people in the church have written to him,” Mrs. Aylor said, adding she writes often as well as Pops’ older brother Niles, of Culpeper. “Pops writes back often too, but his letters sound sad and lonely,” she said, adding often she sends packages containing items such as peanut butter and jelly, pop-top canned fruit, Koolaid, powdered sodas, and cakes and cookies. „ Col. Knuepfer, reflecting on his days on duty, offered several suggestions for Christmas gifts or just items to send. “Insoles are very good,” he said with laughter, remembering the days when he wore the heavy military boots. “Think of things someone would take camping,” he suggested as items to send overseas. “Razors are good. And, bug spray as they are getting into what may be considered their wet season.”

Tributes 77 In loving memory of our father, Charlie C. Lewis, who went into eternal rest one year ago today, December 6, I9H9. Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight. Must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light, But we know that like a candle their lovely light will shine to brighten up, Another place more perfect...more divine. And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright, our loved one will live forever more in God’s eternal light. The children Thank you so very much for the telephone calls, visits, cards food, flowers and every ad of kindness shown to us during the illness and death of our loved one, Howard H. Butler.
