At last Wednesday’s meeting the planners voted to; recommend that the Board of Supervisors rezone 2.24 acres owned by Frances Semones from Mobile Home Park to Village Commercial. The land is on the south side of U.S. 211 about 200 yards east of the current post office. The property has not been used as a mobile home park, but it adjoins the mobile home park in eastern Amissville. ; At earlier meetings the planners had recom-; mended denial of a request by Walter Maben to rezone> about three acres on Route 635 on the north side ot U.S. 211 from rural residential to general commercial! for a post office and also recommended denial of a re-; quest for a special use permit for a post office on land owned by Tom Moore on Route 639 east of Amissville on the south side of U.S. 211. In both votes the plan-, ners said they felt the locations were too far removed! from the village center of Amissville. Even if the supervisors agree with the rezoning, it does not necessarily mean that the post office will be located. on Mrs. Semones’ land. Mrs. Semones is inter-.' ested in selling her land. For the post office to be; located there, the buyer must arrange to build the post; office and lease it to the U.S. Postal Service for air amount the Postal Service is willing to pay. The planners made their recommendation for the rezoning contingent on a post office being located on the See PLANNERS, p.A-5 Colonial Christmas comes to Washington By JIM THOMASSON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer With streets laid out exactly as surveyed by 17year-old George Washington in 1749, Washington, Va." is still today a tranquil village, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Though its population hardly exceeds that of 200 years ago, Washington is now a quiet blend of longtime residents and artists and craftspersons who have fled the busy-ness of the city for the ease and charm of rural life. Together they celebrate the Christmas holidays by reenacting colonial traditions. The rich tradition and quaint charm of historic Washington, Va. come to life on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 7-8, with daylight and candlelit tours, open houses at the shops and bed-and-breakfasts, colonial dancing and entertainment, carollers and bonfires, a variety of craft demonstrations, a Santa’s bake shop, a Christmas bazaar and childrens’ gift-making, troubadors and the atrical and musical performances, and colonial meals both days at local restaurant#. ..First person “character.” tours and historic tours , fof the art and architecture of the town will take visitors through the streets laid out by George himself in 1749. Beginning at 11:30 a.m. Saturday and 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, the tours will leave at every hour on the halfhour, concluding with candlelit tours through the gaily decqrated streets at night. Tours will highlight a tastefully restored log home, contrasted with a new building constructed from logs salvaged from an old barn, a marvellous old “ordinary,” the impressive Courthouse complex, and the inviting bed-and-breakfasts. Strolling carollers will bring back fond memories of country Christmases past. Throughout the village prominent professional crafters will be demonstrating their art. Demonstrations will include a variety of quilting techniques, silver and gold smithing, jewelry design, a foraculture artist demonstrating colonial Christmas decorations, dried flower arrangements, etchings and prints, hand-cut crystal, handmade rugs, needlework, folk art painting, and other traditional crafts and arts. . Numerous children’s activities will include a children’s Christmas bazaar and gift-making' program and photos with Santa at the Child Care and Learning Cerv-, ter. Both days there will be a Santa’s Bake Shop in the new Town Hall with delightful treats for purchase. Saturday’s Bake Shop will be run by the Parent-Teacher Organization of the Rappahannock schools, while the owners and staff of the Inn at Little Washington will host Sunday’s guests. The Town Hall will also be the ' site for performances by our well-known Colonial, Dancers. ’ Guests of the village will be treated to refresh^ments at many stops around town, but a special treat of. See CHRISTMAS, p. A-T 211 groundbreaking to take place Dec. 4 A brief ceremony and a groundbreaking will mark the official start of construction to four lane a two-mile section of U.S. 211-522 west from near Washington, Va., to the Covington River at Gid Brown Hollow. The Wednesday, Dec. 4, groundbreaking will be held in front of Rappahannock County High School starting at 10 a.m. State elected and transportation officials and Rappahannock County government representatives have been invited to participate in the event. “The start of this project marks the end to nearly four years of planning and efforts at confirming suspected soil-contaminated sites on the right of way and resolving means of cleaning them up, said Gale Lipscomb, Culpeper district construction engineer, of the Virginia Department of Transportation. Some right of way clearing and the creation of a wetland area near the Covington River is already under way. The $1.9-million contract was awarded to L.F. Franklin and Sons, Inc., of Stephenson, by the Commonwealth Transportation See FOURLANING, p. A-2 Waste projects top county building list By SHARON KILPATRICK Rawahanaock Newi SUIT Writer County Administrator John McCarthy gave the Planning Commission a preliminary update of the Capital Improvements Plan at their meeting last week. The planners will consider the plan at their next meeting, and if they approve it, it will be advertised for public hearing in January. The plan calls for $85,000 to be spent on acquiring and developing a waste transfer station in the next fiscal year. It also calls for $100,000 next year to purchase land for school expansion but does not include any fiinds for building any additional school space. The committee studying school expansion and the School Board has learned that if present trends continue, additional space will be needed by the 1995-96 school year. To have such space available, it would have to be constructed during fiscal 1994. The waste transfer station would replace the Huntly and Scrablle dumpster sites. It would be fenced and only open to the public on hours when it is manned. The plan includes much more money to be spent on expanding the landfill. When the first Capital Improvements Plan was adopted in 1991, it included $150,000 for improvements to the landfill in 1991, $175,000 in 1992, $125,000 in 1993, Sm CAPITAL PLAN, p.

Town planners forward new ordinance By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Washington Planning Commission took up the proposed subdivision and site plan, ordinance and made some final recommendations Monday night. They agreed not to make exceptions from the requirements for a $ite plan and secondary drainfield for single family dwellings or for lots created prior to 1981, when the current ordinance was adopted. They decided to make exceptions for subdivisions approved under the current ordinance if the lot owners apply to the zoning administrator or Town Council and receive extensions of the rights they have under the current ordinance. , The motion to require site plans for developments passed 4-1, with member Stewart Willis opposed. Col. Willis said the site plan requirements should be in the zoning ordinance, not the subdivision ordinance. They voted 3-2 to allow off-site Farm life featured at Library The First Friday lecture at the Rappahannock Library will be “The Best of All Worlds: Living and Working in Rappahannock County,” 8p.m. Friday, Dec. 6. The program is co-sponsored by the Rappahannock Farmers’ Association and features the following four speakers: • Miriam Harris will discuss organic farming and present a slide show. • A1 Kellert will examine the grape industry and also present a slide show. • Jim Massie Jr.’s topic will be cattle fanning. • Alex Sharp will talk about apple growing in the county. The four will each talk about 15 minutes, followed by a panel discussion with the audience. Refreshments will be provided. Babysitting is available, but call the library by Monday at 675-3780 to reserve a spot (a small donation is requested). January’s First Friday program will examine resources around the county such as the national park, the 4-H Center, the Smithsonian research station and others. drainfield8 if the owner of the property that would hold the primary and (or) secondary drainfield would donate an easement “in perpetuity” for the drainfield. On this vote members Stewart Willis, Arthur Neufeld and Louise Van Dort voted in favor, with Susan Parrish and Mitzi Young opposed. Mrs. Young said she was concerned that secondary drainfields be required because the primary drainfield is frequently created for a three-bedroom house, and later additions increase the number of bedrooms causing the septic system to fail. The planners agreed that a lot owner could apply to the Board of Zoning Appeals for an exception to this requirement, but the BZA would then probably restrict the number of bedrooms to be included in the house. The planners also voted to rec ommend that the word “customarily” be removed from the definition of an accessory building. With the proposed definition an accessory building would always be on the same lot as the primary building. Mrs. Van Dort noted that the word “customarily” had resulted in the suit against the town by Fredette Eagle over the lot she owns on Wheeler Street with a shed on it. The Town Council is interested in holding a public hearing on both the subdivision ordinance and the revised Historic District Ordinance in January. The Architectural Review Board has not responded to the planners recommendations for the Historic District Ordinance. The planners agreed to meet again Dec. 18 to work on the Historic District Ordinance and to invite members of the ARB to meet with them. That meeting will be held in the new Town Hall. Mrs. Van Dort said she wants to add definitions of demolition, major renovation, restoration and addition to the ordinance. She said the ARB agrees that the current ordinance is too restrictive in some instances and not restrictive enough in others, but that it will never be possible to draft an ordinance that covers every situation that can come up. “Most ordinances grow by amendment,” she said. She suggested the ordinance include a “check list” so the ARB can go down the list and make sure the applicant has met all the requirements “rather than do different things for different people.” Col. Willis said that “sending terse memos back and forth has caused a feeling of animosity in the town that is not needed.” Theatre produces 'Dickens' The professional theater company that brought the rousing “Pirates of Penzance” and the humorous “Joyce” to The Theatre at Washington, Va. now proves its remarkable versatility with a colorful, spirited production of “A Dickens of a Christmas,” to be presented at The Theatre at 8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7 for one performance only. “A Dickens of a Christmas” is a Honor roll is announced Wakefield School in Marshall is pleased to announce the names of the following students from Rappahannock County who received First Honors during the first quarter of the 1991-1992 school year.

Work under the 240-day contract is expected to be completed in the fall of 1992. The new two-lane road will be constructed south of the existing road. A second construction phase, scheduled for advertisement next year if adequate funding is available, would complete the four laning of U.S. 211 from the Covington River west to the village of Sperryville. The first phase of the current project is the development of a wetland area near the Covington River. This will replace small wetland areas located along the corridor that will be impacted by the construction, Lipscomb explained. “We will not build a pond, but will expose soils that will remain sufficiently saturated to support the growth of plants indigenous to wetlands,” Lipscomb said. “Grasses will be planted in the center of the site. This will be followed by the planting of shrubs and a screening of trees and plants normally found along the edge of a stream on the perimeter of the wetland area to provide a habitat for wildlife.” The replacement of wetland areas that will be impacted by the construction is just one of the environmental concerns addressed by VDOT in its construction contracts, the VDOT engineer added. The department Also requires control measures on all construction projects to prevent environmental impacts.

When you make an offer to purchase a home, standard practice is to accompany the offer with 'earnest money.* The fate of your earnest money is governed by the language of your offer. If the bid Is not accepted, your check should be returned Immediately. The situation can get a little sticky if the transaction falls through - like you change your mind or you can't get financing. The language of your bid should contain two protections. The offer should be made contingent on the acquisition of mortgage financing and the seller should agree to accept the earnest money as 'liquidated damages' if you default. If you can't obtain a mortgage, you still get your earnest money back as long as you have responded honestly to appropriate questions about financing.

Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Lisa G. Currie Kim McLaughlin and 4-year-old Yana play with handmade dolls at home in Flint Hill. Flint Hill woman makes art out of traditional doll making By LISAG. CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Flint Hill’s Kim McLaughlin makes dolls that are designed to resemble the hand-made friends pioneer children may have clutched as they traveled west. Yet, in some ways the cloth bodies and bead faces appear of African heritage. Others, with their jeweled bodies and ornate heads, appear Russian or Bavarian. “Each one really has its own personality, don’t they?” the artist questioned as she arranged the floral dress of a female doll around her before placing her next to a tall, solidlooking male Indian doll. Each doll is originial—designed and made by Ms. McLaughlin’s hand. “My children help inspire me,” she said, holding a small doll—a Correction The church pictured on Page A-l of last week’s paper is the First Baptist Church, not Washington Baptist, as reported. baby for the mommy doll—explaining her 4-year-old daughter, Yana, felt the baby was necessary. Together the two will design and create a “daddy doll.” Each doll is hand sewn from their shaped feet to their oval faces. The bodies are stuffed with soft cotton or polyester materials. Their clothing is made from scraps of material. Their expressive faces, created last, stare at their beholders with a somewhat knowing visage. Sometimes the dolls are created from old photos such as the male American Indian doll. Others are just characters from the mind and heart of Ms. McLaughlin. A doll can take anywhere from a few weeks to a month to finish. Prices range from $45 to $150, depending on size and on the amount of work necessary to complete a doll. Several dolls can be found at Piedmont Fine Art Gallery in Washington. Others can be found in the artist’s workshop in her home. A mother who is staying home and an artist, Ms. McLaughlin wanted to work and be at home when her first child arrived four years ago. “This allows me to be involved with my kids and bring mothering and art together,” she said.

Laughlin said her doll making began when a niece asked for a “puppet.” “I made the puppet and as I did so I knew I had to do more of this,” she said. “Children learn so much and are so creative with dolls,” Ms. McLaughlin said, explaining through play with the dolls children learn not just play but to express themselves and to deal with new situations. The bodies of the dolls are soft— the material ranging from a plain color like burlap to something more exotic like leopard skin or ornate brocade. Some have jeweled faces—sometimes earrings hang to their shoulders or beads around their necks— others have carefully embroidered smiles and eyes. From the bead work, Ms. McLaughlin developed another talent: earrings and bead art. Her earrings have a distinct style. The beads are woven together in the center and cascade downward, a ray of color and design. Using gems like jasper and rose quartz or bone and tourmaline, she combines stones and gems that are compatible. Her work can be found at 514 in Front Royal, Piedmont Fine Art Gallery, several Maryland galleries and through different shops.

Nonetheless, we were split during both redistricting sessions, most recently when the General Assembly redrew Congressional districts last week to incorporate the new district Virginia gained due to population growth in the 1980s. We’re not going to attack the Democrats in Richmond for partisan politics, understanding as we do that it’s the nature of the game for them to do whatever is necessary to maintain or increase their numerical advantage. What Democrats fail to understand, however, is that they ignored the first principle of redistricting: Put communities of interest together when you can, then set out to modify the plan in ways that give your party whatever advantage you can find. When areas like the Shenandoah Valley, or Richmond, or whole counties are kept together, the plan is much more defensible and will provide Virginians with much better representation. Instead we’re left with district maps that look like a computer drew them—which is exactly what happened. We don’t mind the Democrats drawing lines that will help their own get elected, but we have a real problem with district lines that serve that purpose and no other. The objective ought to be fair representation for all Virginians, and so far the Democrats have not achieved that in any of their three redistricting plans. New 10th Cong.

How l managed to create a media flap By JOHN GOOLRICK During my nearly 30 years as a journalist covering politics and legislative matters I admittedly participated in some media frenzies, but never until recently had I touched off one, albeit totally unintentionally. If you heard or read anything at all about the possibility Sen. John Warner might run for governor of Virginia in 1993, you can blame most of it on me. I did not originate the speculation. I had seen a small article buried in a weekend edition of a Richmond newspaper that quoted sources close to Sen. Warner as saying he was considering a gubernatorial run. Two days later while at a reception in Washington I saw Sen. Warner in person and we talked for a few minutes about politics and other things, particularly recalling some shared memories of life on the campaign trail. As Sen. Warner was leaving to return to senatorial duties, I remarked I’d seen the small story that said he was thinking of running for governor and he said he was giving it some thought but was a long way from making any decision. End of conversation. Old Dominion Politics A while later in the company of several people, including a female news reporter I’d known for a long time, someone said they’d seen me talking to the senator and wondered if he had said anything about the article that said he might want to be governor. 1 answered he had said only that he was considering it and wouldn’t come to any conclusion any time soon. I walked away giving the matter no further thought. But the next morning somebody faxed me a copy of a news article the lady reporter had done for her paper based on my comment. Big headlines proclaimed that Sen. Warner might run for goverrtor. Both Don Huffman, state Republicn chairman, and Joe Elton, state GOP director, were quoted as saying it was a dynamite idea, that Sen. Warner would guarantee not only a Republican sweep of statewide offices but a GOP majority in the House of Delegates. Mr. Elton said that if Sen. Warner ran it would be the “worst nightmare” come true for Mary Sue Terry and Donald Beyer, prospective Democratic candidates for governor. That was just the beginning. I started getting calls from news organizations all over the state after the Associated Press picked up the story. What did the senator say, how did he say it, did he say any more than I had let on, did I think he would run for governor? Though I tried to explain that the story had originated with a Richmond paper and my role in it was strictly accidental and inadvertent, not one reporter mentioned all that. Instead their stories made it seem as if I was one of Sen. Warner’s close political advisers and he wouldn’t dream of running for governor or anything else without consulting me first. I was flabbergasted that my name was being printed and broadcast all over Virginia as the source of this great revelation. The fire was fueled even more when Sen. Warner’s office declined any comment initially. Let me make it clear while I have known John Warner for some years and respect him highly, he does nol look to me for political advice or wisdom and I have no idea if he might run for governor. Several days after the story broke, Sen. Warner’s office issued an inconclusive press release quoting him as saying, “At present I have no plans to seek another public office,” and encouraging others interested to step forward. He pledged to continue to work closely and in a bipartisan manner with state officials through the 102nd Congress. However, the 103rd Congress starts in January 1993, a gubernatorial election year. Despite all the headlines and broadcasts, anybody with any reasonable political knowledge would know that Sen. Warner, even if he entertained ideas of seeking the governorship, would never make a decision this early in the game. Should he decide to run eventually, he needs no time to build name identification and could raise tons of money. I have my own ideas of what he will opt to do, but I’m not revealing them because the media might, still thinking erroneously I am privy to inside information, start another frenzy and I would like to retire from the limelight for a long, long time. 30 YEARS AGO November 23,1961 The deer kill in Rappahannock so far is very light. To date only fourteen deer have been checked in at Game Stations, though a report from Johnson Esso Station was not available at press time. Jenkins Garage, Amissville had two animals checked, one by James Powers and the other by E.W. Powers. Both were spikes. Mills Store, Huntly, Payne’s Garage, Washington and Burke’s Store had not checked any. Rector’s Store in Flint Hill reported twelve killed. Mrs. Roberta K. Spalding, Rappahannock County Commissioner of Revenue attended the 42nd annual meeting of the Commissioners of the Revenue Association of Virginia in Richmond on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. There were 131 Commissioners present and 13 were women. Friday morning, Mrs. Spalding attended a breakfast in the Washington Room of the John Marshall Hotel honoring the Lady Commissioners of the Revenue and the Lady Deputy Commissioners, the lady members of the staffs of the offices throughout the Commonwealth of, Virginia and the wives of Commissioners of the Revenue. Mrs. Spalding made a speech introducing the guest speaker, Mrs. Eleanor P. Shepphard, vice-Mayor, City of Richmond. How’s the weather? Crazy — m^n crazy.

They were so large we caught them like balls as they fell. 20 YEARS AGO November 25,1971 According to a nationwide study of income and its distribution, Rappahannock County has more of its families in the middle and upper brackets and fewer in the lower brackets than ever, before. Locally, there has been a progressive shift upward, with families advancing from one income level to the next higher one. Many of those who were in the $8,000 to $10,000 group a year or two ago are now t#rt»e found in the $10,000-andover spot. Their former positions, in turn, have been taken over by families who had been in the $5,000 to $8,000 category. The deadline for paying personal property and real estate taxes in Rappahannock County is December 5, 1971. Since this date falls on Sunday, the deadline will be Monday the 6th. After that date a 5 percent penalty will be added to delinquent accounts. Tax statements were mailed to Rappahannock residents in October. Some have been returned due to incorrect addresses. It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to keep the treasurer informed, said Robert L. Brown, Treasurer of Rappahannock, and if you have not received your tax statement by this time, call him at his office in Washington, Va. A duplicate statement will be mailed. Navy Airman David F.

So her fellow members of the Rappahannock Library’s trustee board got together and arranged a special luncheon to her honor at Flint Hill’s Comer Post on Monday to present Mrs. Jamieson a pewter Jefferson Cup in recognition of her years of service. Mary Jamieson is Rappahannock trustee, of the decade as well as the county’s nominee in 1981 for the statewide award, according to the letter of nomination sent by library board member Grace Sims. The number of unemployment persons in Rappahannock climbed from 179 in August to 195 in September, pushing the county’s unemployment rate from 7.0 percent to 7.7 percent, the highest in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District. According to statistics released by the Virginia Employment Commission’s Culpeper office, the September jobless rate here was higher than both the state (5.6 percent) and the national (7.3 percent) rates.

WSA installs new water dechlorinator By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer At the most recent meeting of the Water and Sewer Authority, member James E. Swindler II said that the dechlorinator has been installed and is operating. He explained that the building around it is not quite completed. However, he said the WSA has run into an unexpected expense. As the dechlorinator was being installed changes were made from the plans submitted by the engineering firm that had drafted the plans and submitted them to the State Health Department. Mr. Swindler said that each of the changes was checked with the engineering firm and had approval from the firm. The changes were suggested by plant operator Tim Falls to make access and service for the dechlorinator easier. Mr. Swindler said the engineering firm had recently informed him that the State Health Department would require the firm to draw new plans to fit the system as it is now. The new plans would cost between $750 and $1,000. He said the engineering firm said the system as it currently exists is better than the system the firm designed. , WSA members Charles K. “Pete” Estes and Carson Johnson told Mr. Swindler to explore whether changing the system back to the one originally designed would be less expensive, and to select whichever alternative was cheaper. Mr. Johnson asked the other two members present about how he should arrange to connect into the sewage lines for a subdivision he owns. He said one lot had been built on and the owner was ready to connect to the system. There are four other lots in the subdivision. He explained that the main line as it runs along Route 671 crosses the road at two points. He said he could tap on at either end where the line is on the same side of the road as the subdivision or cross the under the road from the roadway serving the subdivision and tap in there. The other two said they would prefer either the connection across the road or the one closer to Sperryville, but he could use the third if that proved easiest. Mr. Estes asked the other two to consider the potential impact of the proposed Sperryville bypass for U.S. 522 and Route 231 on the sewage treatment plant. The members approved a motion saying the plant would require that access to the plant not be cut by the road since the WSA could not afford to put in a road and build a bridge across the Thornton River. They also agreed that when and if the bypass is built they would install several “sleeves” under the road to provide for additional lines coming into the plant. Teachers' conference described as successful By SHARON KILPATRICK ^ Rappahannock News Stiff Writer The first-ever Rappahannock Educators’ Conference, held at the high school last Saturday, was a success. Teachers from the public schools, both Wakefield schools, Spring Mountain Waldorf School and home schoolers attended. They heard Marilyn Beck from Lord Fairfax Community College speak about education for the 21st Century, participated in several separate workshops and then shared what they had learned at the workshops with the whole group. Organizer Laurie Marshall said 46 teachers and parents participated, with 17 giving presentations. “It was wonderful,” she said. “It met all my expectations. Everyone had really good ideas. I thought sharing them would have ah infectious effect, and it did.” She said that most people leaving the conference wanted it to be longer next year. She reported that the evaluations turned in at the end of the conference indicated that Golden Delicious Staymans YorkSj Winesaps Also: Cider, Honey Plastic Cider Barrels Selling 7 Days a Week Directions: 22 miles west of Warrenton, to Rt 522, North at Massies Comer, 1 /4 mile on left Not Responsible for accidents 675-3201 (at shed) 703-675-3558 highlights of the conference for participants were Dr. Beck’s talk, learning about the Waldorf school and sharing ideas. Ideas shared in the workshops ranged from teaching one letter at the Waldorf school, to setting up a writing workshop to teach composition to fifth graders, and to using the short stories of Edgar Allen Poe to teach remedial reading in high school. Other topics were using a hot-dog-selling fundraiser to teach second grade mathematics, bringing the world of nature into the classroom, and practical lessons from participating in 4-H animal projects.

Library addresses accounting issues By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer At the November meeting the Library Board made progress toward resolving the impasse between itself and the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors on the accounting for the Library Board’s investments. The Library Board asked its members John McCarthy and Helen Platt, along with James P. Jamieson, treasurer of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library, to form a committee to work with the county’s accountants on procedures for handling a disputed investment fund. The Library Baord receives investments from the Friends that are intended to reduce the library’s dependence on the supervisors for support. Mr. Jamieson said that he would not recommend having the investments placed in a “street account” as recommended by the accounting firm, since such investments are subject to abuses, such as have occurred with savings and loan organizations recently. On the other hand, he said, he Sr OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR YOU 20% OFF All Fashions Dec. 1st - Dec. 31st. ihe Second Look, inc.

Such investments, he said, would not keep pace with inflation. Mr. McCarthy noted that the supervisors and accountants were content to let the Library Board handle the investments but wished to preserve an accounting record for public funds. Mr. McCarthy was also appointed, along with James P. and Mary Jamieson, to a committee to arrange for plaques to be placed in the library to honor contributors. Mr. Jamieson arranged to make the final payment to the general contractor, even though the last payment from federal funds to pay for library construction has not yet been received. Librarian Nikki Lynch explained that she had arranged to apply for a grant to computerize the library’s records independently of the schools Capital plan Continued from page A-1 and $175,000 each year in 1994 and 1995. The new plan calls for $410,000 in 1993, $400,000 in 1994, $420,000 in 1995, and $428,000 in 1996. It doesn’t include anything for 1997, the last year on the new plan. County Administrator John McCarthy said that the higher figures are due to the state’s requirement that new cells in the landfill have a double liner. He said that a new cell would be required about every other year. Mr. McCarthy said that Kimmins Recycling Corp. of Florida, which was exploring a regional waste facility in Page County, had dropped its option to purchase land in Page County for the facility, but that Page County was still interested in pursuing a regional facility. The original plan called for com-, puterizing the records and billing from the Commissioner of Revenue and Treasurer’s offices, starting in 1991. At that time Mr. McCarthy said the county could enter into a lease purchase agreement with a supplier to complete the conversion to a computerized operation over a four-year period. Those plans were delayed. They called for an expenditure of $32,000 between 1991 and 1994. The new plan calls for $86,000 to be spent on the project over five years between 1993 and 1997. Mr. McCarthy said he had underestimated the cost of the project and that state funds which might have shared the cost are no longer available. When Mr. McCarthy presented the new Capital Improvements Plan to the planners, Wakefield District representative Werner Krebser asked why funds were not in the current budget for acquiring space for the schools. Mr. McCarthy said the supervisors would consider buying property if some became available, but he felt it was better to plan for buying land next year. Chairman Allen Stokes, a former member of the School Board, said that enrollment had gone up and down over the years. Dr. Krebser also asked about planning for septage treatment. He noted that landowners were having trouble finding anyone to pump their septic tanks. Mr. McCarthy said the Sperryville sewage treatment plant could not be expanded to treat the county’s septage. He said the county would have to go into debt to fund a new septage treatment plant. “We are left looking to our neighbors,” he said. Mr. McCarthy said Shenandoah County was considering a plant to convert septage to compost. Rappahannock septage might be taken on a per-load basis, he said. He noted that some sewage treatmemt plants, such as the one in Remington in Fauquier County, received federal funds when they were being built with the understanding that they would accept septage on a regional basis, but were refusing to take Rappahannock’s septage. He added that the sewage treatment plant in Charlottesville would accept Rappahannock’s septasre. Planners Continued from page A-1 property. Otherwise the zoning will revert to Mobile Home Park. They also recommended that it be contingent on approval of the entrance by the highway department and approval from the septic system by the Health Department. They also asked that final site plans be brought back for their approval. Jackson District representative David Fannon said he liked this location for the post office. “It’s in the right place,” he said. Board of Zoning Appeals representative Sid Gottlieb agreed. “There’s no question that it is preferable to the other two locations,” he said. “I think we ought to approve it subject to the conditions.” The planners also voted to recommend rezoning land owned by Everett Estes Sr. from Agricultural to General Commercial and rezone other land owned by Mr. Estes from General Commercial to Agricultural. The property is located on the south side of U.S. 211 adjacent to Hillsdale Grocery. The site plan Mr. Estes brought was not drawn to scale. The planners recommendation for approval was contingent on the application including a site plan drawn to scale. Also Mr. Estes had requested a Ushaped piece for rezoning that would have wrapped around Hillsdale. The planners indicated that they had no problem with allowing Mr. Estes commercial zoning for a driveway to his shop but they would not necessarily approve rezoning that would allow two commercial entrances onto U.S. 211.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the Rappahannock Public Schools both maintain policies that anticipate snowstorms in the county. The following snow facts were supplied by VDOT: Rappahannock has 152 miles of primary road and 218 miles of secondary road to be cleared (a mile of two-lane interstate equals two miles). Available equipment includes 10 trucks with spreaders and plows, two graders, two loaders, three radio-equipped cars and pickups, another other privately owned equipment available to VDOT. The highway department also has 18 people assigned to snow removal in Rappahannock. Last year VDOT spent $54,000 clearing primary roads and $20,000 clearing secondary roads. Allocations for this year are $113,000 for primary roads and $51,000 for secondary roads. Rappahannock superintendent Dr. David Gangel makes the decisions when to close schools or let them release early, and it’s a subjective decision that takes into account weather conditions, weather forecasts, road conditions, and other information. There are five weather days factored into the school cal enaar. By 6 a.m., or 6:30 at the latest, he tries to decide whether overnight snow or ice warrants cancellation. Letting school out early often takes between one and two hours between the time of the decision and getting the kids loaded on buses. Elementary schoolchildren are generally given the opportunity to contact their parents. “One of the things that makes this county different is the diversity of topography,” said Dr. Gangel. “It may be snowing in Chester Gap, but the rest of the county might not be getting any snow.” The school system depends on radio stations to carry the message. The following stations are called by Dr. Gangel as soon as he had made a decision: WFQX 99.3 FM in Shenandoah, WATT 105.5 FM in Strasburg, WESI 104.9 FM in Strasburg, WFTR 1450 AM and 95.3 FM in Front Royal, WCVA 1490 AM and 103 FM in Culpeper, WRAA 1330 AM in Luray, WFLS 1350 AM and 93.3 FM in Fredericksburg, WINC 1400 AM in Winchester, WJMA 96.7 in Orange, WUSQ 610 AM and 102 FM in Winchester and WMJR 107.7 FM in Warrenton-Manassas. Dr. Gangel said he does not discourage parents from calling the schools, but early in the morning there may not be anyone there to answer calls. Anticipating the mood of “Old Man Winter” is much like gazing into a crystal ball, looking for signs of how much snow to expect. But, whatever his temperament this winter, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews will continue to keep the safety and mobility of the traveling public its first concern. This winter could be relatively mild, like last year, when VDOT saved $19 million, or 42 percent of its snow-removal budget. Or, it could bring multiple storms, like the winter of 1986-87 that cost $10.5 million more than budgeted. Compounding the uncertainty over the amount of snow to expect, the department faces the impact of an employee hiring freeze and the loss of 400 equipment operators due to early retirements. Both the hiring freeze and the early retirement program were brought on by the current economic slump, which will reduce transportation revenues more than $565 million over the current biennium. “Our snow-removal efforts will, continue to receive our highest at-* tention this winter,” says Common- ' wealth Transportation' Commissioner Ray D. Pethtel. “But,, if we get hit with back-to-back^ storms or unusually long-lasting * ones, motorists will certainly see our« priority planning take effect. And,“ everyone should have a good set of snow tires on their car.” During heavy snowfall, priorities come into play. Roads carrying the most traffic—typically interstate and major primary routes—receive top priority for snow removal. Crews begin working on low-volume roads only after the higher-priority , roads are judged to be under con-) trol. 1 To assist the approximately* 4,000 VDOT employees who will be ~ available statewide for snow-re-, moval operations, the department asked for and received the authority to call back approximately 200 early retirees to help with snow removal, if necessary. The department also has arranged with many of the state’s private contractors to stand by with approximately 2,000 pieces^ of snow-removal equipment • T Redistricting Continued from page A-1 County, Warren County and Frederick County. The district also includes the northern half of Rappahannock County (part of Sperryville and all of Scrabble precincts are in the 7th District) and the western half of Prince William Countv. “I feel defiled,” said Rappahannock Democratic Chairman Doug Baumgardner, saying it should be “unnecessary under any scenario in my mind to split a county the size of Rappahannock into two parts.” “What it means to Rappahannock is that our voice, already a small one, becomes even more diluted,” he said. “I’m not pleased with it and I hope the governor vetos it,” he said. Mr. Baumgardner pointed out that another split of the county—between the 25th and 26th State Senate districts, caused enough confusion during the last election that some in Rappahannock voted in the wrong election. The Congressional split, he said, would only add to the confusion. County Republican chairman Ron Frazier could not be reached for comment. Northwestern and southwestern Fairfax County is also included in the 10th. Last-minute changes to the redistricting plan put all of Reston and Herndon, as well as Vienna and McLean, in the new 11th district. -PAID ADVERTISEMENT— CAUCUS NOTICE The Rappahannock County Democratic Committee hereby announces that it will hold a caucus at 7:00 p.m. in the Courthouse, Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia, on Wednesday, December 4, 1991 at 7:00 p.m. for the purpose of electing members and new officers including a new Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, of the Rappahannock County Democratic Committee.

BY ORDER OF: John W. McCarthy _County Administrator Virginia currently has 10 con4 gressional districts. Population l growth over the last 10 years, as re-1* corded in 1990 census figures, granted Virginia an 11th district. All’ of the 11 congressional seats are up for election in November 1992. State Republicans voted in a’ near block against the plan, citing the lumping together of Republicans ,1 Allen and Bliley into the same dis- ' trict. Republicans also claim that the ' Democratic majority used the redis- * tricting opportunity to solidify Dem-* ocratic bases in most of the redrawn * districts. " Democrats disagree; they say the" process was fair, and that Republic can requests for an independent" commission to complete all future re- * districtings is hypocritical. * “Redistricting is a partisan pro- *■ cess,” said Sen. Joseph Gartlan (D- > Fairfax), Senate redistricting chair- « man. “To suggest that you can find a ] completely non-partisan group to do the redistricting for us is nonsense. It is impossible to find those angels ’» among us terrestrials.” ' « Gartlan’s plan survived an at-* tempt by Sen. Charles Waddell (D-^JJ Loudoun/Fairfax) to put Loudoun,«■ Prince William, Fauquier and££ Clarke counties in with Reston and* Herndon in a revised, open 7th Dis-* trict. Sen. Waddell’s plan was de- •* feated by three votes on the Senate * floor and was not introduced in the * House due to an administrative ' agreement between House and Sen-":* ate leaders. « Rep.

Castleton business pretties up dogs By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Kay Bare knows “a dog’s life”— it’s her job. Mrs. Bare owns and operates “The Pet Tailor” in Castleton, a grooming and pet photography facility. One year ago, Mrs. Bare gave up the commute to Northern Virginia where she worked in a veterinarian’s office as a pet groomer and opened her own pet grooming business. She had already spent years in pet management and in the kennel business. Now she says: “I’ve no regrets.” She sits and rubs a black cat. The room is long and narrow, lined with several kennels—eight occupied by her own award-winning afghan hounds. Cats sit perched on benches, lounge on tables, jump and play with other cats and stare silently into windows. A soft lull of music hums from the speaker in comer. Day and night it plays—not hard rock, not classical, just a contemporary sound. Ribbons and rosettes in an array of colors dot nearly every bit of the wall. Spare portions are framed with photos of Mrs. Bare’s winners—Afghan hounds stacked and pretty—an occupation in itself as these longhaired pets require over three hours weekly in grooming. Her spare time is spent with her dog and cat customers. Taking up to four dogs or cats per day, Mrs. Bare has found the county shows a real need for pet grooming services. “The summer was very busy,” she said, though ‘Vinter months were slower.” Grooming a pet or show animal requires time, patience and dedication—all of which Mrs. Bare has for her furry friends. “This is not an assembly line groom,” she said, adding “many times, the dog comes back, gives me a lick to say thanks, before leaving.” With prices ranging from $20, the pet is given VIP treatment. A groom includes cleaning ears, clipping nails, hair removal, dematting, a bath, a dip and dry and other groomed items if necessary. There is no extra charge for larger dogs, timid dogs or shy pets. She does “refuse an animal if it is too aggressive,” though she feels she excels with timid animals. She remembered a toy poodle that required four hours for his first grooming session. Since then, using patience, “baby talk and slow movements, I’ve gotten the time down to three hours,” said Mrs. Bare. Her love for the feline and furry friend is obvious. Besides her business, Mrs. Bare shares her home with a menagerie: 11 sheep, several ducks, a goat, more than 10 cats of various shapes, colors, sizes and breeds, her Afghan hounds and various pets which need homes (at present, one forlorn looking whippet). “I started with Irish setters,” she said of her show career. But, her love was the Afghan and over the years, it’s become her area of expertise. She’s had two grand champion COUNTRY MANOR is proud to announce zve are now setting TEXACO SYSTEM 3 GASOLINE Come take advantage of our competitive prices at our newly refurbished gas pumps PLUS all Rappahannock residents will receive an extra 3i per gallon discount Christmas is coming, so while in the area we invite you to browse through our incredible selection of catalog closeouts and country accessories.

Originally from Virginia Beach, Mrs. Bare and her husband spent several years visiting the county, vowing they would make their home here. With her husband’s move to Northern Virginia, the dream came true and 15 years ago they made the move. Mrs. Bare spent time working for a vet, Dr. Dove of Gainesville, and with McClanahan’s Camera and Sound in Warrenton before taking the plunge into her own business. Since she had show dogs, much of the necessary equipment for grooming was at her disposal. Before her business started, Mrs. Bare worked with a grooming service that offered pick-up-and-delivery service for pets. “Most customers prefer it,” she said with a smile. She speaks softly and slowly, a by-product of her years spent with dogs and cats. The pick-up-and-delivery service has been incorporated into her own country business, and she often leaves her home as early as 7 a.m. for a pet, to return it in evening hours when the owner has returned from work. “It’s been a real plus and convenience for people here,” she said, adding many people commute to Northern Virginia and southern Maryland creating time conflicts with normal business hours. And, what better time to photograph a pet than when it’s clean and groomed? “It goes hand-in-hand with grooming,” said Mrs. Bare. In 1975, she began her photography studies, taking classes at community colleges and buying camera equipment. After grooming “is the perfect time” for photos. “If you have an eye and the patience and some camera knowledge, you can do it,” she said. Her photography services are often required by friends, at shows and for customers. She cuddles a kitten named Fishhooks. “You have to feel good about what you are doing,” she said with a smile. “I feel like I’m doing something good.” Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Kay Bare with 8-week-old pup Sandy and Gator. Jerry Wood readies for coming session By SEBASTIAN SMITH Arandd Newspaper* Staff Writer Delegates love to make law and sit on committees, but for Jerry Wood, who will go to Richmond to represent the 31st District in January, it’s constituent service that he’s gearing up for. “I kid about it, but I say we’ve got 22 years of constituent work to do in one year,” said Del. Wood, a Democrat who won the seat in a contest against Woodville Republican Robert Darby Nov. 5. 3 BIG DAYS!

FREE BOXING AND GIFT WRAPPING Main and Chester Sts. i USE OUR REAR ENTRANCE Front Royal, Va y/SA The 31st District includes all of Rappahannock and parts of Fauquier and Warren. The eight-week General Assembly session can be a frenzy of law making and there’s no need for more bills at this point, said Del. Wood. Although he’d like to sit on committees, such as health, or House finance, the influential bodies rarely have openings, Del. Wood said. “The most important thing to me is constituent service,” said Del. Wood. “If you forget about them, they’ll forget about you.” Although freshmen delegates won’t be sworn in until the second Wednesday of January, Del. Wood says his work began with Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s unpopular decision to temporarily close off state woods to hunters and campers because of fears of accidental fires. “My phone lit up like you won’t believe,” said the Warrenton pharmacist. The obliging, not-quite-yet-official delegate called fellow Democrat Del. C. Richard Cranwell, who in turn called Del. Victor A. Thomas, a Democrat, who “called down to Richmond” and “the next thing I knew, you get a thing rescinding the order,” Del. Wood said. Another recent knock at his door brought a local 13-year-old boy’s complaint that state law restricts use of jet skis to those under 14. Del. Wood said he’ll work on a bill that allows anyone, whatever their age, to operate the waterborne bike, provided they can pass a standard test. “Sometimes you can help. Sometimes you refer them to someone else. I think that’s what they want,” he said. Del. Wood said, that if feasible he’ll open a part-time office in Warren or Rappahannock counties. While wanting to ensure he doesn’t concentrate on Fauquier County at the expense of the other two counties in his district, Del. Wood says there may be limits to his movements. “In the rural areas, it’s a little bit difficult,” he said. Del. Wood says he’s determined to cover all the territory of the 31st District, since he’s “sure some of the folks in Warren County feel left; out.” As a lobbyist for Virginia Pharmaceutical Association in the ’70s. and a long-time activist in local politics, Del. Wood will not be a complete neophyte when he arrives in Richmond. He also attended Richmond’s Medical College of Virginia and says he knows “some of the best kept secrets in town.” Del. Wood said he realizes that if bills crowd the House floor and committee work tables, then lobbyists must be in equal numbers in the corridors and outside offices, pedalling their interests and telling delegates that their case is the most worthy. Del. Wood says he’ll be undaunted by the lobbyists’ pressures. “I feel like I have an open mind,” he said. Lobbyists are no more than salesmen of opinions and Del. Wood says he’s used to that. Besides, lobbyists often represent good causes, he said. “I compare a lobbyist to a detail* man who comes around from one oK the drug companies’” selling newj products, he said. * Van Wingerden of Culpeper ^SAuAtmaA Ofieav fftcwbe FrL, Sat., Sun.—Nov. 29, 30 &Dec. 1 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tour the area's Largest Wholesale Greenhouse 250,000 Poinsettias under one roof! “Give the Gift that Lasts Forever” Beautiful Cyclamen in Full Bud & Bloom African Violets 3 for $500 Fresh Cut Christmas Trees Fresh Wreaths & Pine Roping ^ Poinsettias a aHH Large 6" pots r Y1 11 "U 4-6 Blooms V lOr X V Also: Giant Specimens, Hanging Basket Poinsettias Take Rt. 3,8 miles east of Culpeper.

CURRIE Rappahannock News Staff Writer Jules Coon and Jeanne Berta decided they wanted a business of their own. “Kaleidoscope,” a home-based business in the Coons’ Rock Mills home, featuring tie-dyed clothing for everyone in the family, is just what the mothers had in mind. Branching from their first idea of making diaper covers, the two modified Mrs. Berta’s already existing hobby of making T-shirt dresses for children.' It required a little knot here, a little twist here, a fold here wrapped around by this and that and then plunged into the dye. “It’s all trial and error,” said Mrs. Berta smiling. The half-moon, the tracks, the stars or several other designs have materialized from patience, diligence and repeated attempts at perfecting dye and pattern on the material. Their night-time work is beginning to pay off. Their stock has grown, their designs have become numerous and the colors are durable and bright-a kaleidoscope of color. Specializing in dresses, leggings, children’s clothes, sweatshirts and sweatpants, and long and short-sleeve T-shirts, their multi-colored items are anything but diaper covers. Prices range from $4 for infant and children’s garments to the most expensive $35 for adult T-shirt dresses. “We were looking for a means to make a little money on the side,” said Mrs. Coon, a mother of four and a singer with the local band Venus Jones. And, after just a year in business, the two are on the road in that direction. Putting up some capital for materials, the two gave their first show July 4th in Washington. Their display was limited-T-shirts for children and adults and a few dresses. “We did really well,” said Mrs. Coon with a bit of surprise in her voice. “We made enough to buy more stock,” she said with a smile. - After their 4th of July success, the two organized as a business, named themselves and set about acquiring more stock. By Christmas of 1990, the two were prepared for their second show--at Mountainside Market in Washington. Their expanded inventory-belts, pencil boxes, mittens, booties, Guatemalan items and more clothing items-rewarded them with even greater inventory. “There are so many obstacles,” said Mrs. Coon. Spending daylight hours with her four children, evening hours with her family and weekend hours with the band leaves few hours for the two to work. Tie-dying requires time and space. Materials must be soaked and prepared one day before the actual dying, which takes several hours. “We usually work in the evening or at night,” said Mrs. Coon. Mother of two, Mrs. Berta’s schedule is similar. Besides production problems, the two are faced with questions on where to store the items made. “One of these days, we would like to have a shop or even a mail order catalog,” said Mrs. Berta. At present, with stock limited and extra items stored in the Coon home, the two women travel to craft shows such as Sperryville’s Apple Harvest Festival in October and do home shows that are “sorta like Tupperware shows,” said Mrs. Berta. From these shows, the two hope to take orders, make supplies to order and deliver in time for holidays or deadlines. “That way people are getting just what they want,” said Mrs. Coon. With tie-dye clothing returning in popularity among children, teens, college students and adults, business is booming. Using better quality material-a 100 percent cotton~and more durable and bright colors, their technique has been perfected and their stock has grown.

Brown DAREs Lions Club By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Rappahannock Lions were enlisted in the campaign to overcome drug abuse in the county at their November dinner meeting at the Bleu Rock Restaurant. The capacity crowd of Lions and guests were very attentive as Lt. Jeff Brown of the Sheriffs Office described important aspects of the local. DARhJ program currently being communicated to students at Rappahannock Elementary School. DARE is a nationwide program initiated in Los Angeles in 1983 and currently being presented by specially trained law enforcement officers across the country. Lt. Brown asked the audience if anyone knew what “DARE” stood for and very few knew. DARE is a new “preventive medicine” program designed to combat the threat of drug abuse before curiosity can develop into addiction. DARE stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. Lion President Mike Mahoney reported that “we all were grateful for Lt. Brown’s excellent presentation. We learned a lot and in response the Lion Board made a $250 donation to help the local DARE program buy additional teaching aids.” Lion Guy Foster was responsible for arranging the program and introducing the speaker. Some of us might ask “is this kind of educational program needed in a rural county like Rappahannock?” The answer is a definite “yes.” “We ar not entirely isolated from the drug problems of larger communities. There are serious drug abuse and drug distribution problems very near us in Front Royal, Warrenton and Culpeper,” according to Lt. Brown. “Even LSD is making a comeback in our area. There is a direct relationship between drug abuse and local crime such as the recent rash of breaking and entering in Rappahannock. We know of a crack cocaine addict whose habit is costing in excess of $500 a day. Photo for the Rappahannock Newt by Bob Scon Lt. Jeff Brown outlined anti-drug program for Lions. Where does that kind of money come from?” he said. Lt. Brown is well qualified to instruct our children. He began his law enforcement career with 3'/2 years as a Virginia Game Warden. After 8l/z years in the Front Royal Police Department he joined the Rappahannock Sheriffs Office as a sergeant seven years ago, and has been a lieutenant for the past five years. He currently teaches at Rappahannock Elementary School one day a week. Jeff Brown became a DARE officer this summer after a 40 hour instructor course. He then completed an additional 80 hour course for Virginia law enforcement officers. Currently he is the only DARE officer in the county and could use more help. Lt. Brown is well motivated. Lt. Brown and his wife Kim are natives of Virginia and have two young children of their own to raise and protect. Students at Rappahannock Elementary School who receive the DARE training are given special certificates of “graduation” when they complete the course. Sheriff John H. Woodward recently received a welcome letter from the Virginia DARE Coordinator in Richmond, Special Agent Michael E. Swiger, who had personally observed the quality of Jeff Brown’s teaching in a Rappahannock Elementary School classroom a few weeks ago. The very complimentary letter ended with “I wish to thank you for your decision to enter the program and Lt. Brown for his excellent job in the presentation of the DARE curriculum. I have no doubt the children of Rappahannock County will benefit immeasurably.” The Rappahannock Lions concur and wish Lt. Jeff Brown and the DARE program at Rappahannock Elementary School “continued success.” Arts and crafts exhibit opens at Middle Street By LISA G.

It used to be that a picture like this could only mean harvest time—big orange pumpkins, shiny red apples, colorful stalks of Indian corn. And, of course, a turkey in the pantry. But what about today? You can buy apples almost any time. Pumpkins are available in a can twelve months of the year. And you can buy a frozen turkey as easily in July as in November. We Americans take for granted what was a real treat in our parents’ time. But in the midst of this material plenty, there is a danger of spiritual famine. To keep the proper perspective, to appreciate the gifts of life to the fullest, we need our churches and synagogues and the stories they have to tell us. Maybe you can't be a pioneer—a Pilgrim. But you can follow your forefathers' example at PlyT mouth that first November. You can utter genuine thanks In the church or synagogue of your choice.

Cranberries: A versatile and delicious Thanksgiving tradition By HELEN W. SMITH Kmuunnxk Neva Contributing Writer Cranberries are available in stores from mid-September through December and are most abundant during their peak harvest season - October and November. Cranberries may be stored in the refrigerator just as you bought them, for up to two weeks. Before using, just sort and rinse cranberries in cold water. Buying fresh cranberries in season, then freezing them, guarantees enjoyment of these berries all year long. Cranberries freeze well. Without prewashing, doublewrap in plastic and store in freezer for up to one year. Preparing frozen cranberries for cooking is simple. Just sort and rinse cranberries in cold water. No thawing is necessary and, in fact, best results are obtained without thawing. Cranberries are versatile ingredients for everything from relishes to desserts. Use your imagination and you’ll discover hundreds of ways to enjoy this native American fruit. Cranberries not only add a bright, festive touch to holiday foods, they’re good for you - because they contain vitamin C and fiber. A fact which should make you feel particularly good about preparing these recipes. Cranberry cookery When using fresh or frozen cranberries, a 12-ounce package equals three cups. Stir 1/2 cup chopped cranberries, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons sugar HOME ECONOMICS for every six muffins, into muffin batter. Cook together equal parts of fresh cranberries and apples to taste, to make cranberry apple sauce. Cranberry cheesecake 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 16 squares) 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened 2 eggs 3/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 carton (8 ounces) dairy sour cream (1 cup) 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla Cranberry topping (below) or sweetened sliced strawberries Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons sugar; stir in margarine. Press in ungreased baking pan, 9x9x2 inches, or against bottom and side of 9-inch pie plate. Beat cream cheese slightly. Add eggs, 3/4 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla; beat until light and fluffy. Pour over crumb mixture. Bake until firm, about 25 minutes. Mix sour cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla; spread carefully over warm cheesecake. Cool. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. Spoon Cranberry topping over each serving. 9 to 12 servings. Cranberry topping Heat 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup com syrup to boiling. Add 2 cups cranberries; heat to boiling. Simmer 1 minute; remove from heat. Cool. Jalapeno cranberry jam (Millie McGhee) 1 bell pepper 2 1/4 c. sugar 1/2 c. cider vinegar 11/2 jalapeno pepper 3 c. cranberries 1 c. water Core and seed bell pepper. Cut into 1-inch cubes and use the metal blade to combine with sugar and vinegar. With the machine running, drop in jalapeno pepper and process until pureed, 45 to 60 seconds. Add cranberries and pulse-chop to combine, about 3 times. Transfer to a large saucepan and add water. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat.

Corn program payments stop Since the market prices on 1990crop com and sorghum exceeded the basic loan rates for these crops, no increased deficiency payments, known as Findley payments, will be made. The basic loan rates were $1.96 per bushel for com and $1.86 per bushel for sorghum. The national average prices received by producers from September 1990 through August 1991 were $2.28 and $2.12 per bushel, respectively. Findley payments are made when the basic support level for a crop is reduced to maintain domestic and export markets for that commodity. These payments are made only when the 12-month national weighted average market price is less than the price support level before it was reduced. Local producers enrolled 1,018 base acres of com in the 1991 farm program. SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE LOWEST PRICES OF THE SEASON!

Certamen are Latin competitions among three teams of students from different schools. The students answer a wide variety of questions,, some in English and others in Latin. Questions may be on points of grammar or vocabulary, history, culture, myths, etc. and to compete successfully students must be knowledgeable about all aspects of the Latin language and culture. The Level I, Experienced team competed against Flint Hill and St. Stephens/St. Agnes in the final competition, placing second. Certamen coach Maureen Beabout was impressed with her team’s performance. Molly Chase and Trevor Herndon of Warrenton, Amy Lightcap of Front Royal, and Jody Waldron of Rectortown were well-prepared and missed earning first place by only one question. Wakefield fielded two Level I, Inexperienced teams. Van DeBergh and Scott Updike of Washington, Va., Alex Kelly of Castleton and Anne Wadlow of The Plains earned third place in competition against 16 other area schools. Amy Benedum of Marshall, Jed Davies of Warrenton and Mary Beth Williams of Flint Hill placed seventh. Approximately eight teams competed at Level II, Inexperienced.

Drought aid granted county Rappahannock is one of many Virginia localities that have been given federal disaster designation due to the fact that it shares-borders with two counties that have been identified as drought-stricken, Fauquier and Warren. The U.S. Department of Agriculture extends disaster relief to contiguous localities when a neighboring county is given primary designation. Other drought-stricken counties in Virginia this summer were Clarke, Highland, Isle of Wight, Richmond, Stafford and Westmoreland. The designation - makes Rappahannock farmers eligible to apply for FmHA emergency loan assistance. Those who experienced drought losses should contact the local FmHA office for more information about qualifying for assistance. For more information call the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services at 804-7863501. Feed grain acreage set . A five percent acreage reduction requirement is in effect for 1992 com, grain sorghum and barley. The 1991 program called for a 7.5 percent reduction in com, sorghum and barley acres. The feed grain program does not require a reduction in oats acreage. Other provisions of the 1992 feed grain program will be announced as soon as they become available. Knowledge of how much land will be idled will help producers plan for the coming year. World and U.S. 1991/92 ending stocks of feed grains, are historically low which makes the initial acreage reduction percentage subject to adjustment, particularly in light of uncertainties around the world. Any such adjustment would be announced bv Nov. 15. Living nativity being planned The Methodist Church in Rappahannock is once again putting on a living nativity scene near the Town of Washington. This year’s nativity will be presented from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 21. After the old shed was taken apart to build the new library building, Stephen Wagner organized the project to reassemble the traditional shed next door. Last year another (nearby) shed was used for the nativity, but this year the reassembling of the old shed has been complete. For information or to participate in the living nativity, call Judy Burke at 703-635-2473. Rec Authority meets Dec. 11 The next meeting of the Rappahannock Recreational Authority will be held at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11 in the Rappahannock Courthouse. Among items for discussion is the project to upgrade and build new playground equipment.

V* Apply fertilizer to lawns in the correct amounts The amount of fertilizer, lime and other items that gardeners can add to the soil at their home should be just enough to allow optimum growth without undue risk of polluting the natural run-off. It is important not to apply more than is recommended. Guidelines for the amount to apply and the time of year or season of application should also be closely followed. This will assure greatest plant response with the least chance of plant damage or drainage water pollution. Fertilizer, lime and other soil amendments washed off by heavy rains contribute to stream pollution. The purpose of a soil test is to supply you with enough information to make a wise fertilizer and soil amendment choice. Contact the Rappahannock County Extension Office, 675-3619 to get information about a soil test. For $6, your soil can be tested at Virginia Tech laboratories. You can get information on pH, available phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium. The results of the soil test are mailed to you with recommendations of what fertilizer or amendment Food Bank holds drive The Lord Fairfax Food Bank, which serves Rappahannock and surrounding counties, launches its 10th anniversary Hands Against Hunger fundraising campaign Nov. 16. The recession, high unemployment, and cuts in government programs have raised the demand for food assistance to record levels. Your contribution can help a needy family make ends meet this winter. Donors may call 703-665-0770 or send tax-deductible checks to Lord Fairfax Food Bank, P.O. Box 3142, Winchester, Va. 22601. 1992 tax bills are in the mail The Treasurer’s Office has mailed out the 1991 real estate and personal property taxes. The bills are due Dec. 5. Failure to receive a bill does not relieve the taxpayer of interest and penalties that accrue by law for failure to pay. Contact the Treasurer’s Office if you did not get a bill. The office on Gay Street is open from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. MondayFriday. Call 675-3334. should be applied for economical growth of the desired crop or specific plant. A soil test need not be performed more often than every three or four years. Submit your sample in the fall, prior to planting or tilling, so that needed lime or other soil amendments can be changing the pH over the winter. Fertilizers should be incorporated the next spring. For best results, carefully follow the instructions given for the soil test. Private companies also do soil testing; these give detailed reports and recommendations in many cases, but may be expensive ($30 is not unusual). The accuracy of the test is a reflection of the soil sample taken, be sure your sample is representative of the area to be treated. Sample the soil from 10 random areas to the | depth at which you till the garden. Avoid sampling unusual areas such as those near gravel roads, manure or compost spots, brush piles or under eaves. Place the samples in a clean pail or container and mix the soil thoroughly, then transfer one cup of mixed soil to a container. The Extension Service will mail the results to you with recommendations for correcting any deficiencies or other problems that may exist. Soils range greatly in their properties and in their suitability for different uses. Many of the differences in the soils of Virginia relate to the geologic parent materials and the local topography. The main soil types are sand, clay, silt and loam. Sandy soil feels very coarse and grainy. Water drains through it very quickly. As a result, sandy soil drys out rapidly. Clay soil is very thick, like putty. It holds waters like a sponge. Clay soil does not dry out as fast as sandy soils, but when it does dry out, it becomes hard and very solid, making it quite difficult to break the soil surface with a shovel. Silty soil is between sandy and clay soil. It holds water well but does not dry into a hard, solid mass. Loam is the ideal mixture to sand, clay, and silt. Through the addition of organic amendments, loam can become the perfect soil for your vegetable garden. UIFTRtKtS If you are thinking of buying a POOL TABLE SEE US!
