43nd Year, No. 1 8 pages Member Audit Bureau ol Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1991 Washi£0t?«Vj*&ginia Phone 675-3338 -- 1 * --- 50 cents __\ Old Rag Bulletins Money for homeless , The Cougar Cub Scout den of Pack 123 has placed wooden boxes>rt(ie shape ; of houses in locations around the county to cpllect money for homelees children and their families. The money will be donated to Habitat for Humanity, an organization that provides homeless families with skilled • help and money to build or renovate a house in exchange for 500 hours of labor. The family then owns the house, and must agree to live in it for five years. The Cub Scouts built the boxes, painted them and made signs. The project was inspired, a leader explained, by a United Nations report that there are 90 million children in the world without homes. Cost-share signup underway The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District is taking applications for its 1991 Chesapeake Bay Cost Share Program. Farmers may sign up at the county ASCS office, located in the Gay St. Theatre in Washington, until Jan. 15. This year, landowners can benefit from a new $5,000 maximum on funding, up from the $3,500 cap in previous years. “Because of “ this unique cost-share program,” said a SWCD spokesman, “there's something you can do about the problems facing our waters.” The program allows farmers “to install conservation practices that protect Virginia's waters and lead to more productive farms.” For more information about eligible practices or how to apply for assistance, contact the SWCD office in -'"Culpeper (703-825-8591).

Jan. 3 By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Ncw> Staff Writer During the last few sessions of Virginia’s General Assembly, several innovative techniques to aid the perservation of the state’s rural areas have been advanced. One of the most promising of these tools is transfer of development rights (TDR), also known as transfer of development credits. Though the innovative concept has yet to be enacted into law by the state legislature, the , fight for its adoption will again be led this year by Piedmont Virginia’s counties, which see it as a way to cushion' the encroaching development from the metropolitian Washington, D.C: area. Del,; Leslie L. Byrne (D-38th) of Falls Church is the chairwoman of the House and Senate Joint Committee on Growth Management Tools, which has studied techniques including TDRs, conditional zoning, vesting of property rights and public facilities ordinances. On Thursday, Jan. 3, Del. Byrne will visit Rappahannock County to speak about transferable development rights, or TDRs. Del. Byrne was first elected to the House of Delegates in 1985, and has since become actively involved in a number of committees and groups studying development, particularly in the Northern Virginia area. She is a member of the Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns, the House Finance Committee, and is a member of the Dulles Task Force. Del. Byrne, in an article to be published in the January, 1991 “Virginia Forum,” has said that the current economic slowdown may offer our area “one luxury we haven’t had in over a decade — time to think about how state and local governments should manage land use and development and about the relationship between land use and. increasing tax burdens and transportation problems.” Del. Byrne suggests that zoning ordinances no longer provide the flexibility necessary to react to these increasing pressures, and she thinks that TDRs may be part of the answer. “We must move beyond zoning to mechanisms which help localities to phase, focus or pay the costs of additional growth.” TDRs, she explained, are a technique “that allow(s) localities to focus growth in areas already having needed infrastructure (utilities, roads, etc.); thus, keeping areas for open space, agriculture, historic preservation, or • other community enhancements. ” TDRs, which allow one landowner to transfer the rights to development of his land to another landowner in another location in exchange for a cash payment, offer several benefits. For the community, they preserve open space or historically valuable properties from development. But unlike the traditional zoning method of restricting See TDR, p. 3 Budget crunch may force consolidation j Legislators look to cost savings at Richmond headquarters offices By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Neva Staff Writcr In the wake of drastic budget cuts demanded by Gov. L. Douglas Wilder, consolidation and reduction of state government may be the best way to resolve the state’s fiscal crisis. ° At least that’s the hope of Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. (R-31st), the House Minority Leader and Rappahannock County’s representative. “These days, any county, no matter how small and rural, can run its own show. It doesn’t require layers of bureaucracy.” In a telephone interview Dec. 27, Del. Guest suggested that the potential for great savings exists by trimming operations at the central offices of many agencies. “The fewer people there are in Richmond demanding reports, the freer the people at the local level are to do what they are supposed to be doing.” He pointed to a plan by the new state Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Joseph Spagnola, to reduce the bureaucracy at the Department of Education by consolidating positions and reducing paperwork. Dr. Spagnola has stated that he intends to return the department’s focus to educating Virginia’s children. “If his plan moves forward the way it appears,” Del. Guest said, “some other agencies ought to be taking a look at it.” State Sen. Kevin G. Miller (R-26th) agreed with Del. Guest’s assessment of the superintendent’s plan. “I tend to favor what I’m hearing,” Sen. Miller said during a telephone interview from his Harrisonburg office Dec. 28. Dr. Spagnola “is going in the right direction in reducing the role of Richmond,” Sen. Miller said. “The role of the state Department of Education should be assisting localities instead of telling them what to do.” Consolidation of agencies and related initiatives, Del. Guest explained, “are primarily an executive branch responsibility; to come forward with a program*, for the General Assembly to consider. ” Already, Rappahannock County cooperates in two Social Services programs with Culpeper County, and Rappahannock and Warren counties share some special education services in the school^. But, Del. Guest cautioned, the deci sions on how best to consolidate services should be left to officials at the local level. “Certainly, the people in Rappahannock, Culpeper and Warren counties know what is best for themselves. ” That was the concern expressed by County Administrator John McCarthy during a meeting with Del. Guest, Sen. Miller, members of the Board of Supervisors and the School Board last month. Mr. McCarthy has said that a regional consolidation of the Social Services offices, along the lines of the Community Services Boards, could cause “terrible damage” to the services in small rural counties like Rappahannock. “Local option cost-cutting is* better DEL. ANDY GUEST idea,” the county administrator said. He noted that the Virginia Association of Counties has requested a study on the effects of consolidation, with specific recommendations on how to most efficiently consolidate offices that do not meet the state caseload requirement. “Give us a dollar amount, and let us cut our own way,” Mr. McCarthy suggested. “If the point is money, we can get that,” he said. “But if the point is political control in Richmond, they ought to be up front on it.” Sen. Miller said he agrees with the local-option approach. "The motivation and driving force should be with the localities - - not in Richmond.” With the focus of the upcoming General Assembly, which convenes on Jan. 9, certain to be the state’s estimated $2 billion budget shortfall, Del. Guest said the budget process “is going to get a pretty good going over.” But despite the deficit, he said he sees little likelihood of any new taxes being enacted this year. Some localities, including Fauquier County, have requested the legislature look into expanded taxing authority to blunt the impact of steadily rising property and real estate taxes. Those requests, made through the Virginia Association of Counties, include a local option real estate transfer tax and local sales tax. Del. Guest said he would like to learn more about the proposed real estate transfer tax, especially how it differs from the recordation tax, before he makes up his mind on it. Though he predicted that no new taxes will be passed during this session, “those in favor need to get them on the agenda so that the ‘92 session will have heard the discussion.” Another request by Piedmont Virginia counties, an extension of the rollback period for land use taxation on acreage removed from the program prematurely, met with favor from Del. Guest. “I have no problem making it optional for counties,” but the The rollback extension from five to ten years would have to be phased in one year at a time. Mr. McCarthy and the county’s supervisors also expressed their “terrible concern” over decreasing state aid from Richmond, especially for the public schools. It appears, Mr. McCarthy said, “that the state is balancing its books on our backs. Especially, the mandates are not lessening, although the money is no longer there to pay for them - and they tell us u<e must fund the programs.” Sen. Miller noted that, during the past several legislative sessions and the laws enacted, “there has been a minimum of what local governments call mandates. With the budget situation the way it is now, it would be illogical to put more mandates on local governments without the money - and we don’t have the funds.” However, the county’s., concerns about the decrease in state aid were borne out last Friday, when the Wilder administration announced that 14 localities, including Rappahannock, will take 12 percent cuts in state school aid during the next fiscal year. For Rappahannock County, that means a decrease of $200,000, from $1,689,001 to $1,486,321. Those 12 percent cuts are the maximum allowed under the budget reduction plan, according to state Secretary of Education James W. Dyke. The Associated SEN. KEVIN MILLER Press quoted the secretary as saying that the 12 percent cap prevented affluent localities, presumably including Rappahannock, from taking even greater cuts in aid. Another example cited by the county administrator of the state shifting the burden of financing to localities is Secretary of Natural Resources Elizabeth H. Haskell's plan to force localities to pay for reSee PREVIEW, p. 3

Marshall finds new position rewarding By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer In the past three months he’s faced torrential flooding and winter’s first storm, but the Virginia Department of Transportation’s ne\y maintenance superintendent remains enthusiastic about his position. Ron Marshall replaced Doug Bywjaters as the county’s VDOT supervisor after Mr. Bywaters was promoted to the Warrenton resjr dency. And he has no regrets about leaving his post as Warrenton’s Superintendent of Public Works, a post ? he held for four yesirs. “In 15 years, I have never worked with the kind of people I have here,” Mr. Marshall said. “They are competent, and they do an outstanding job.” He pointed to the ‘round-the-clock effort the crews put oUt following the flooding in October aS an example of their work. “I immediately called Penny (Maintenence Supervisor Ennis Jenkins) and asked him to call a couple of other guys. Penny tried to get in to the highway shed and couldn’t, so he called a dump truck to come and get him and came in the other way. “They didn’t wait for me,” Mr. Marshall said with obvious satisfaction. “They went right out and started to work.” That kind of dedication allowed the crews to have nearly all the county’s secondary roads passable to school buses by the _ Monday morning following Saturday’s flooding. “All we had to do was let them know what we wanted done, and they did it. That really makes a difference.” The 13 VDOT employees who work out of the highway office outside Washington are responsible for maintaining 64 miles of primary highway, as well as 214 miles of secondary roads in the countyr Mr. Marshall, as the transportation maintenence superintendent, supervises their work. In addition to his four years as public works superintendent in Warnenton, where he oversaw the town’s roads as well as waste disposal, building maintenance and the town’s vehicle fleet,-Mr. Marshall also has experience working with both public highway departments and with a private company. He worked for the West Virginia Department of Highways in thrmid70s, and also spent eight years working for an asphalt company in West Virginia. Now he’s returned to rural Virginia, a place where the Centerville native feels most comfortable. “I was raised on a big farm, and I’m not crazy about a real city atmosphere. This is ideal for me,” he said of Rappahannock County, “the rural atmosphere.” And, he’s found that the rural lifestyle also brings benefits to the job. “There’s not much turnover here,” he said of the highway shop. With high turnover, he explained, you often lose a quality of people. “These people have been here; they know their job and they know what to do.” He pointed to Ennis Jenkins as an example. “He’s been here 33 years. There’s a pride in their work, a team effort. It goes from here in the office, from Fiscal Assistant Eunice Lewis, right on out to the road teams. It’s an ideal situation — people live and worirhere.” Mr. Marshall is married, with four children. He is a Vietnam Veteran, who served in the Navy as a radioman. He lives with his wife and children on the Culpeper/Rappahannock County line. Though he had high praise for his crews’ efforts *5during the weather emergencies; Marshall did ask county residents,to bfe understanding of possible delays in snow re Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter PLANNING STRATEGY FOR/lhe winter, Transportation Maintenance Superintendent Ron Marshall (center), pores over a map of the county with Fiscal Assistant Eunice Lewis and Maintenance Supervisor Ennis Jenkins. moval due to the recent state budget cuts. “In the past, we have well exceeded the standards for snow removal. It would be a good idea if people realize that because of budget cuts we may not get roads cleared as quickly.” VDOT has instituted a hiring freeze, and the Washington shop has “three or four” less employees last year. Meawhile, the money for contract hiring of private firms to assist with snow removal has also been cut. “I don’t want people to panic,” Mr. Marshall said. “The men out there are working as hard as they can.” The department’s main concern during snow- emergencies is keeping the primary roads open, he explained. “We are not ignoring the secondary roads. As soon as we clear the primary roads, we start on the secondaries.” The possible effects of the budget cuts does concern the new superinteiident. “When you have money removed that was there before, you have to do with what you have. Hopefully, there won’t be that much of a change that people will notice.” And Mr. Marshall again pointed to his road crews as the ones who deserve the accolades for extra effort to take up the slack in tight times. “I can’t take any of the credit. They put forth a lot of effort. When you have the kind of people I have here, it makes my job a lot easier. I would put these people up against anyolna have found anywhere.” TDR Continued from page 1 development, downzoning, they do not deprive landowners of development rights without compensation. The property owner who sells his development rights does lose, forever, the right to develop that land, t>Ut he is compensated for the loss by the payment from the TDR buyer. For a farmer, for example, who finds He needs cash to continue his operation, or who is forced by advancing age to curtail his business but who tfces not want to sell his farm outlight, TDRs offer an opportunity to generate needed cash while keeping tjie agricultural operation going. ; For the community, TDRs provide the benefit of clustering development in areas already designated fj>r growth; around towns and villages, for example. It prevents helter-skelter development across tlie countryside, aryl has the added aesthetic benefit of preserving open Ijrace. * For the purchaser of TDRs, the attraction is also obvious. By adding tire additional development rights to tjie “by-right” density allowed at the $te of the development project, the developer gains greater density than ; There are three things that no one can do to the full satisfaction of anyone else: poke the fire, make love, and edit a newspaper.

But the growth is clustered, instead of sprawling across the countryside, often encroaching into areas not prepared or able to handle the increased development. Del. Byrne also points out that TDRs can “rescue” low income housing in areas of resurgent growth, and “modify the roller coaster ‘booms and busts’ of land use rezonings.” One factor that makes the concept of TDRs particularly important in this area is the recently enacted Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, Del. Bryne said. That act requires that measures for the protection and .preservation of tidal and non-tidal wetlands must be provided for in local planning, zoning and land use ordinances. “The economic windfalls and wipeouts created by the need to save the Bay from further degradation cry out for solutions more creative than rezoning to lower density.” Del. Byrne’s appearance is being sponsored by the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association, the Rappahannock Co. Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Rappahannock Farm Bureau, the Rappahannock League for Environhlental Protection and the Piedmont Environmental Council. _It is the first in a series'of lectures designed to familiarize Rappahannock County residents with the land use problems facing our county and state, and some of the possible solutions — including new and innovative techniques not found in traditional land use plans. The public is invited to attend this free event. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the upstairs courtroom of the county courthouse in Washington.

Robert and Patricia Metcalfe own the property located on the east side of U.S. 522, a little north of the intersection with Route 729. The building has been rented as a house. Mr. Metcalfe said the he believes the building was built earlier than 1800. He said the most recent survey of the property was in 1818, and that the building was a grainery then. “It’s a log structure on the inside,” he said. “I restored it because I think it’s kind of neat. I want to leave it that way.” He said he thought a commercial use of the building would be a “better use than a house because it’s so close to the road.” Under the village commercial zoning the building can be used for up to 2,000 square feet of retail sales , or for offices. County Administrator John McCarthy noted that neighboring property owners had been notified and that he had received no negative comments. , Hampton District representative John Clark Jr. asked if the building coilld be put to a use that the neighbors might object to. Mr. McCarthy said that such uses would require a special use permit or special exception as well as the rezoning. Flint Hill resident Phil Irwin supported the application. “I find If you LOVE COUNTRY you’ll LOVE our RUFFLED CURTAINS CAROLINES now on SALE Natural • White • Rose • Blue • Peach • ★ All matching accessories ★ Catalog & Price List on Request Ruffled Curtains 17 East Luray Shopping Center Luray, VA 22835 Toll Free 1-800-526-4149 Hours Mon-Sat 10-6 the application a proper use of the structure,” he said. “It’s totally appropriate.” v With both the chairman Allen Stokes and the vice chairman David Fannon absent from the meeting, the planners selected Sharon Pierce, representing Stonewall-Hawthom District, to chair the meeting.

By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Christmas has come and gone, and now comes the task of removing the ornaments, tinsel and lights from the Christmas tree and carting it off for disposal. But, wait; there’s another solution. For anyone with a bit of woods on their property, or even a large backyard, the old Christmas tree can provide welcome safety and cover for a variety of wildlife. Laid on its side, small birds, chipmunks, squirrels or rabbits may find shelter from the harsh winter weather. With additional holiday greenery from the windowsills, door sprays and wreaths, or prunings from bushes in the yard, a > real wildlife shelter can be built up. Just stack the branches and trimmings to form a mound. In time, leaves will collect in the branches, offering additional * protection from winter winds, blowing snow and rain. As an alternative, prop up the tree with sturdy poles and hang with bird seed balls, popcorn or suet bags. These are easily constructed with empty onion bags and meat fat trimmings (available at most ' supermarket meat counters). For a perch, slip two dowel rods through the bottom of the bag at 90 degree angles. Hang the bags high in the tree to keep the neighborhood cats and squirrels away, and prepare for chickadees, nuthatches and wrens to swarm the tree. Birds need water close at hand, and as the temperatures drop and usual sources skim over with ice, pie plates placed on stumps or fenceposts provide fresh water for wintering birds. Discarded automobile hubcaps (found in many old farm barns) also make nifty homemade birdbaths. The ice will have to be dumped each morning, but the .effort will be well-rewarded by a loyal band of feathered visitors, who will stay as long as the food and water are available. One caution ornithologists offer is that if you begin feeding birds over the winter and have to go away, try and make arrangements for a neighbor or friend to continue the feeding while you’re away. The birds come to depend on the food, and if it disappears, especially during a cold, snowy spell, they could be without an alternate source of wild food. So, use that Christmas tree as an addition to the backyard habitat rather than throwing it away. It will be appreciated, and pay dividends, with an increase in wildlife visitors.

Guest said he hopes that the idea is dead, at least for municipalities. He added that he could support the concept of increasing permit review fees for private enterprise applicants, but not localities. Both legislators predicted an interesting session, and suggested that Gov. Wilder may have nearly as much difficulty with his fellow Democrats in the General Assembly as with the Republican opposition. “He’s going to have some problems with some of the things that he’s done,” Sen. Miller predicted. “A lot of the Democratic leaders are upset that he didn’t bow and ask permission” before proceeding with his budget cuts, Del. Guest added. “He’s moving forward to fulfill his obligation to balance the budget: That’s what he’s got to do. ” JANUARY STOREWIDE v REDUCTIONS HANDCRAFTED SOLID BRASS REPRODUCTION LIGHTING COSTOM DESIGNS RESTORATION CONVERSION' REPAIRS - WASHINGTON HOUSE REPRODUCTIONS Main Street, Washington, Virginia ' Call for hours _ 703-675-3385 Semi-Annual Sale Notv in Progress The Marypeg Dress Shop I A Specialty Shop for Ladies • Ciao • Lanz • Lilli Ann • Tanner Sizes: Missy 2-20; Half l2Vi-24iVi\ Petite 2-16 404 S.

Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated in recognition that education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3) New business aj»d clean industry for economic ■ • expansion should be actively sought to provide new employment opportunities here fdr our residents anbd their children, under conditions which ensvngp that these businesses are self-supporting* not a burdemon the tax base. Tourism and the businesses that support it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent community, will be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strong timber and fierce spirit of the Rappahannock heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and independently investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials. V; \ \ , • i Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan AFTER LAST WEEK’S SNOW, weeds in a field create a natural still life. Despite Democratic control of redistricting, Republicans still see sizeable gains possible By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer Two committees of the Virginia General Assembly have formally started a redistricting process that ma, ‘H” an' . ' 'If to complete and generate even more controversy than the state’s last two court-contested reapportionments. Even before the process started, in fact, there were already cries from some quarters that the seven public hearings scheduled by privileges and elections committees of the House of Delegates and State Senate were a sham designed by Democrats to cloak their gerrymandering efforts. That contention, voiced by some Republicans, was based on the fact that official federal census figures won’t be available until late February or March. That being the case, said the GOP, the public had insufficient’information to make known its views on redistricting during the seven hearings around the state, held earlier this month. But Democrats who control the committees argued that preliminary population estimates have been released and are certainly accurate enough to allow the two committees to begin the work that will lead to a special redistricting session in April. “We’re not only holding hearings,” said Del. V. Earl Dickinson of Louisa, a ranking Democratic member of the House P&E Committee, “we’re also holding workshops for loV WELCOME SAUD1° ARABIA PLEASE DISCARD ALL > CHRISTIAN AND AMERICAN] SYMBOLS 1 cal officials on how to conduct local redistricting.” He noted it is imperative that local redistricting be completed rapidly once official figures become available “because the legislature can’t redraw the boundaries of House and Senate districts without knowing where the precinct lines are going to be in the localities.” Del. Dickinson said his feeling is that the General Assembly will tackle only reapportionment of its own seats this year and that it won’t act on congressional redistricting until next January. “There aren’t any congressional elections until 1992 so I don’t see any reason to go to the considerable ex-. pense of a special session to. draw those lines when we can wait until the regular 1992 session.” Though Democrats will be in complete charge of the process since they control both the legislative and executive branches, Republicans are nevertheless heartened by preliminary population estimates that confirm the state’s heaviest growth has been in those regions where they should run strongest. Of 100 House of Delegates seats, ^ for example, 35 contain more than the ideal population of 61,349 and they are located in the Richmond suburbs, in Prince William and outer areas of Fairfax, in the ChesapeakeVirginia Beach area and in a band running from Frederick-Winchester southeast across the Upper Piedmont and Central Virginia to the Old Dominion Politics Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads. Some 17 State Senate districts that have populations above the ideal of 153,372 are located in the same areas while, with few exceptions, legislative districts below the ideal are either in rural or urban core localities. Democrats will, of course, do everything possible to minimize the impact of demographics which appear to Republican advantage. Still the GOP thinks no matter what the eventual outcome it will have a solid shot to gain seats both in the House and Senate next year. After a decade in which there were few bright spots, Republican leaders now say their goal is to field a challenger against every incumbent Democrat next year and particularly to run hard races against some leading Democrats who have been seldom challenged in the past. “If we can get some good contenders to run against people like Tom Moss (House Majority Leader), A1 Smith (ranking member of Appropriations Committee) and oth ers,” said one Republican who is searching for candidates, “we can make them spend millions of dollars. It’s time we stopped giving free rides to any Democrats.” That kind of talk guarantees that the 1991 legislative session, starting Jan. 9, will be marked by more interparty strife than has ever occurred in the past and that the open hostilities will be compounded by the redistj-icting process. Said Del. Frank Hargrove of Hanover, co-chairman of the Joint Republican Legislative Caucus, “Our purpose will be to rally public support for a redistricting that is fair and open. I think if they (Democrats) don’t draft plans that conform with proper standards they can expect to defend those plans in court.” And so begins what will be the subject of political intrigue and end-r less media speculation for a long time to come. Though the public may be less than enthralled, the end result will be a political roadmap that everyone must follow for the next decade and one that will probably lead Virginia into a new era of suburban-urban domination over rural interests. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. Opinions expressed are his own. Time management takes thought By JOHN BORGENS Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Henry Ford is credited with saying"people who have no time don’t think! The more you think the more time you have.” If this is true, there must be a lot of people who are not thinking. How many times have you heard someone say,“I just don’t have the time” or “I’m just too busy to think.” Actually, as we get older, it seems easier a to accumulate things to do, responsibilities and obligations. In addition to family and job responsibilities, we can overextend ourselves with church or community activities. Many people seem to race through the day from one obligation or crisis to the next. There is no sense of working toward a pre-established goal or purpose. They end up feeling that there are always so many things that need to be done that gobble up their time and energy. * How many people take the time to establish their priorities? How many couples take time or how many families? Time management is self-management. It means thinking, plan ning and exercising self-discipline. I am struck by the fact that this is a life long process. That is, once it is in place, it does not automatically stay that way. We have to work at it constantly. In fact, if not worked on, our priorities will always get messed up. When we think about our families and raising our children, it becomes essential that we parents pay attention to what we are doing. We need to make our parenting duties a priority as well as other family needs. In working on New Year resolutions and our goals for the 1990’s, it takes effort to guard against becoming over-extended and not pay attention to what should be our real priorities.

Planning reduces risk of snowbelt travel When winter storms strike Virginia, highway travel can become treacherous. Because of the state’s snowfall patterns and snow consistency, highway conditions are often more hazardous than in the snowbelt regions to our north, according to the Virginia Department of Emergency Services. Many of Virginia’s snowstorms begin as freezing rain or sleet. Snow often follows, leaving a hidden layer of ice underneath. These dangerous conditions are compounded by the consistency of snow that usually falls. Unlike the dry, powdery snow that occurs in colder regions, Virginia’s snow is often wet and extremely slippery“With these factors i$ mind, your best bet is to stay home when severe winter weather strikes,” a DES spokesman said. However, business or holiday plans often make winter travel necessary. If you must venture out, the following tips may make the journey safer. • Before the cold weather hits, be sure your car is in good running order and is properly serviced. Have a reliable mechanic check your bat* tery, antifreeze, wipers and windshield washer, ignition, and thermostat. Good tires are very important. Not only will you be safer, but in many jurisdictions, there are heavy fines if you are stranded on a snow emergency route without snow tires, chains, or all-weather radials. • Plan long trips carefully. Listen to weather reports and traveler’s advisories and keep an alternate route in mind. Let someone know where you are going and what time you Resources for elderly in new book Publication of “Resources for Older People: A Care Handbook” for residents of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties has been announced by the Northwestern Virginia Health Systems Agency Inc.

LFCC offers credit for on-job training i A new one-year program featuring college credit for on-the-job training in Human Services paraprofessional career fields will begin Spring semester at Lord Fairfax Community College. Applications for full-time and part-time candidates are being received now through registration scheduled for Jan. 9 and 10, noon until 7 pm. The program features on-the-job career training and career planning in such fields as child care assistant, public school teacher assistant, social work and psychological services assistant positions. The Human Services Certificate program also includes college credit courses for general education, human development, psychology, and related subjects during the fall and spring. This one-year certificate program was authorized by the Virginia Community College System to operate at LFCC in response to an increased demand for paraprofessionals in the human services career fields. The one-year certificate program js attracting a number of persons already employed as well as new students without job experience. The program can be completed within nine months for those who pursue their studies and on-the-job training on a full-time basis. Persons interested in receiving information should phone the College at (703) 869-1120, ext. 117 for an informational brochure and application. Prospective candidates may also arrange a registration appointment with. Dr. Hal McMullen, program advisor. plan to arrive. Travel in daylight,' use nuyor highways, if possible, and try not to travel alone. • Before you start out, clean snow and ice«off all parts of your car - windows, hood, roof, trunk, and lights. Snow left on the car could affect visibility once you start driving. • Keep your gas tank as full as possible, especially if you’re unfamiliar with roads or passing through rural areas. A full tank prevents gas line freeze up, and also adds weight for better traction. • Even if you restrict your winter driving to short, local trips, certain supplies can help in an emergency, Always keep basic items like windshield scraper, battery booster cables, a two chain or rope, a bag of sand, a blanket, and a flashlight in your car. • For longer trips, you may want to add a transitor radio (with extra batteries), a first aid kit, road maps, some nonperishable food, matches and candles. • Don’t overdress when driving. Even on short„trips, your clothing should be loose-fitting and comfortable. After the car has warmed up, take off heavy outer clothing, but pull over to the side of the road to do it. Don’t try to struggle out of your coat while driving. • If you should get caught on the road during a winter storm, keep calm. Give some indication that you’re in trouble - turn on your flashing lights, raise the hood, or tie a cloth from an antenna or door handle. • Whatever you do, stay in the car. Don’t leave the car to find shelter or a telephone unless you can actually see one close by (really close - yards away). Disorientation comes very quickly in a blowing snowstorm. . • For heat, turn on the car engine for brief periods. To avoid deadly carbon monoxide poisoning, always leave a downwind window open slightly and make sure the exhaust pipe is clear of snow when the engine is running. • If you are caught unprepared, there are many items in the car you can use. Papers and maps can be crinkled up and stuffed into your clothing for added warmth. Rugs and removable seat covers can be used for added insulation. Huddle with your passengers and try using your coats as blankets. They may be more effective that way. • Exercise from time to time by clapping your hands and moving your arms and legs. Don’t stay in one position too long, but don’t overexert yourself by shoveling or trying to push the car. • Leave the dome light on at night as a signal to rescuers. If there is more than one person in the car, sleep in shifts. “Winter presents many challenges for the snowbelt traveler,” the spokesman stressed. “By staying calm and using all that’s available to stay as warm as possible, your situation will remain one of inconvenience rather than a life or death peril.” Prices in this ad good Monday, December 31 thru Sunday, January 6, 1991.

Day REALTOR CASUALTY LOSS DEDUCTIBLE What can you do when you have serious damage to your home or property but not enough insurance to cover the loss? If the damage was not fully paid for from insurance proceeds, you can take a de- • duction on your federal income tax. What'kind of losses qualify for this deduction? Generally, to qualify for the federal casualty loss tax deduction, the cause must occur quickly and unexpectedly and not be a routine event. Examples include a fire, flood, theft, accident, earthquake, vandalism, tornado, broken water pipes, hurricane or earthslide. You should be prepared to prove such losses in case of an audit. To prove you loss you should have before-and after photos, professional appraisals, repair bills, police reports, purchase receipts, and insurance settlement appraisals. The amount that you may deduct on a casualty loss is the decline in the property's market value, less insurance payments and a *100 deduction, financially, you're better off having enough insurance.
