Family realizes dream Hickersons adopt Costa Rican Maria By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When Charlotte and Daniel Hickerson first began to consider at*>pting two years ago, they could not have imagined how their journey would end. But it did last week, as Charlotte returned from Costa Rica with 14-year-old Maria Hickerson, their new daughter. Through their church, the Seventh Day Adventist Church, the Amissville couple contacted Internat ional Children’s Care in Vancouver, Wash., a church agency that operates orphanages in Guatemala, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Costa Rica (another is being planned for Romania). “We wanted another child and we’re older, so our chances of adopting in the United States were kind of nil,” explained Mrs. Hickerson. The first step, said Mrs. Hickerson, was an official “home study” of their present situation, conducted by the Rappahannock Department of Social Services. They already had one daughter, 12-year-old Jennie, and Mr. Hickerson also has three children by a previous marriage. “There were many, many papers which all had to be authenticated down in Richmond,” said Mrs. Hickerson, See ADOPTION, p. A-5 Cable franchise passes town, county By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New> Staff Writer Cable TV will be coming to parts of Rappahannock. The Board of Supervisors and the Washington Town Council both passed motions approving the franchise agreement with Adelphia Communications following public hearings Monday night. Among the supervisors the motion passed 4 to 1, with Robert Anderson, representing StonewallHawthom District, voting against the measure because it won’t serve viewers in his district. The five members of the Town Council present for the hearing all voted for the franchise agreement. All residences in the town will be offered service. Richard Burke, manager of Central Virginia Cable, Inc., Adelphia’s local subsidiary, said his crews would begin “strand mapping” this winter. Most of the laying of lines should be taking place next winter when crops are dormant, he said. Included with the franchise agreement are a map of the service area and a rate schedule. Neither of these are fixed. The purpose of the “strand mapping” will be to determine more precisely the area that will get service. The rates are based on those currently charged. If rates go up in Front Royal before service gets to Rappahannock, Rappahannock’s rates will go up also. The map shows service extended to Chester Gap, Flint Hill, Washington, Sperryville and Amissville. Some of the back roads around these villages will get service also, but See CABLE TV, p. A-5 Rappahannock County Population ,1960-2000 The numbers tell story of a changing county By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer Statistical data and demographic information about Rappahannock County and the Town of Washington on file at the Planning District 9 office in Culpeper reveals a community that has changed in many respects since the 1980 U.S. Census. PD-9, in addition to the 1990 Census information, also keeps re cords from a variety of state agencies, records that paint a photo of Rappahannock’s commerce, traffic, employment and income status. The 1990 Census counted 6,622 residents of Rappahannock County, 3,309 women and 3,313 men. The median age of county residents was 37.3, and for Washington residents See NUMBERS, p.A-10 Del. Guest says goodbye to old district By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New. Staff Writer Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest missed his last chance to represent Rappahannock and part of Fauquier counties when Che legislature reconvened to vote on the governor’s changes to the Congressional redistricting plan. He was in bed with the flu. Had the 20-year veteran of the General Assembly been there, a close vote would have been even closer. He doesn’t think highly of the plan that puts two incumbent Republicans in the redrawn 7th District and moves Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren as well as Frederick, Page, and Shenandoah counties into the 10th District along with Loudoun County and parts of Fairfax and Prince William counties. “There is no real community of interest between the western part of the district and Fairfax,” he said. He said he would prefer to see urban and rural areas in separate districts “where that is possible.” He noted that Fairfax and Prince William counties will have half or more of the voters in the redrawn 10th District. Indeed Del. Guest believes the state Democratic Party went overboard this year, drawing lines that favored Democrats, in redistricting the General Assembly as well as the congressional districts. He suggests that following the census of 2000, the General Assembly appoint a commission made up of judges and representatives of the two parties who are not members of the legislature to do the redistricting and present the plans to the General Assembly. Del. Guest, 52, is a Warren County beef fanner and a graduate of Yale University with a degree in economics. He first went to the General Assembly in 1971 as one representative from a two-seat district Hepresenting Warren, Fauquier, Clarke and Frederick counties and the city of Winchester.

Use for building still 'on table' for Town Council By MARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock N«w, Staff Writer Having purchased the old library building on Gay Street for use as a Town Hall, the Washington Town Council is grappling with the question of what restrictions it will put on the building’s use. At the council’s regular monthly meeting last Wednesday, Town^Attomey Frank Reynolds outlined some ofthe issues involved in deciding how to use the building, among them a deed restriction placed on the property when the county conveyed it to the town. The Town Hall is in a residential zone, on the edge of a mixed-use zone but resi- ' dential nonetheless, said Mr. Reynolds. Assuming that the town does intend some kind of use, he presented the council with three options: rezone the building to mixed-use or - services zoning, amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow the use of town governmental uses in residential areas or exempt the town itself from its own Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Reynolds said he recommends exempting itself from its own laws. He said the problem with rezoning the building is that it “opens up Gay Street to claims for further rezoning.” Changing the ordinance to allow government buildings in residential zones creates new problems. If only the town government is allowed, the county may feel discriminated against. If all government buildings are allowed in residential areas, there could be multiple sales of homes for use as state and county offices, eroding the neighborhood feel of residential zones. Exempting itself from its own Zoning “ Ordinance is what the county did when putting in the Amissville landfill, Mr. Reynolds pointed out. Town resident Diane Bruce, also the Circuit Court clerk, told the council that deed restrictions imposed by the county limit the Set TOWN COUNCIL, p. A-6

f§§ em a ' let * jr It _12 rtJ9 Source: Va. Employment Commission Month/Year Rappahannock News Graphic by Brenda Ducker Food Stamps, other aid needs reflect lean economic times ByMARKSCOLFORO Rappahannock News Staff Writer The recession is making its mark in Rappahannock County, if applications for Food Stamps, Aid for Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and jobless benefits are any indication. The Rappahannock Department of Social Services, which had been running 100 cases of Food Stamp recipients prior to the recession (and that number would even drop to about 80 during the summer) currently has a caseload of 144, according to Social Services Director Bev Bowen. “Normally the toughest season is yet to come. That’s January and February,” said Ms. Bowen. The “normal” caseload for AFDC benefits is about 12-15. About eight months ago, after a steady increase, the number of AFDC cases levelled off at 35. Rappahannock Social Services is paying out $21,000 a month in Food Stamps and $6,400 a month in AFDC, said Ms. Bowen. But families still aren’t making it. “A typical AFDC mother and one child get about $205 a month,” said Ms. Bowen. “When you consider what that’s supposed to do, there’s no way you can do it.

Sperry ville Antique Market and Sperry ville Storage Company 703-987-8050 Wilder bends on taxes in face of bleak fiscal forecast for Va. More, deeper cuts expected to be part of session By JEFF NELSON Arundel Newspapers Slate Writer Gov. L. Douglas Wilder this week presented a bleak forecast for the coming General Assembly budget deliberations and opened the door for Assembly-initiated tax increases, new bonds and deep spending cuts. Gov. Wilder told members oi both houses’ appropriations committees Dec. 16 that “hard choices” will face them when they consider the 1993-1994 biennial budget during the General Assembly session that begins Jan. 8. 1 The governor softened his two- ' year demand that no new taxes be passed by offering to “negotiate” taxes if bipartisan support for them is shown in the General Assembly. “I will not seek a general tax increase for the 1992-94 budget—period. . . .If the Assembly determines, following its review of the budget, that additional revenues are needed, I am willing to participate in such discussions,” Gov. Wilder told the committees. He said that he would consider taxes “only after we have pared down the size of government and regained the confidence of our citizens.” Gov. Wilder did not rule out increases in cigarette and liquor taxes. One area Gov. Wilder said that he plans not to cut is direct aid to schools. “I have demonstrated my commitment by restoring $15 million (to schools) earlier; I hope to be able to restore most if not all the $182 million (cut last year) in the next budget year,” he said. Northern Virginia officials say they will fight to maintain the level of schoools funding provided last year. Gov. Wilder was not specific about what he would like to cut, but he did point to some programs that may be in jeopardy. According to Gov. Wilder, the Center for Innovative Technology (C1T) in Herndon needs $20 million to maintain its current level of funding. “That $20 million is equivalent to what would be required for general relief, continued state aid to public libraries, or the increase in financial assistance likely to be required by our neediest students in higher education." he said. Questioned later, Gov. Wilder said that “clearly anything that was Your Christmas Dream Come True! (Oliver’s I Serving Sunday Brunch 12 to 3 p.m. 108 South Royal Avenue Front Royal 703-635-3496 mentioned in there (the meeting) is on the table.” He also mentioned possible changes in Medicaid that may include a tax on health-care providers. Gov. Wilder said that Medicaid requires $300 million in new funding in the budget—a figure that exceeds the amount of money raised by the state’s sluggish 1 percent growth. The governor also raised the high cost of providing mental health services and corrections as areas the state might wish to cut. State Secretary of Finance Paul Timmereck has said budget forecasts show a two-year shortfall in revenues that may reach $1.6 billion if employee raises are factored in. In response. Gov. Wilder has asked that all state agencies prepare plans to cut up to 9 percent from their budgets. The heavier cuts are likely. Gov. Wilder hinted, and will not be offset by any raises for state employees. Director of Planning and Budget Karen Washabau said her department is still reviewing those plans and has not signed off on them. Some cuts, she told the committees, are consistent throughout the plans, including reducing the amount of money state agencies send to local governments—a plan that would affect social services and courts the most. Ms. Washabau also noted that some plans include reduced services, such as limiting the hours libraries are open at colleges and the number of hours state parks are open. Committee members said they were not surprised by the news and felt it unlikely that either party would rise to Gov. Wilder’s challenge to suggest new taxes. Senate Appropriations Chairman Hunter Andrews, D-Hampton, said that he is considering a general obligation bond proposal for massive construction at state colleges and universities. Sen. Andrews unsuccessfully proposed a bond referendum for more than $400 million last year. He said more would be needed this year. In a new twist to the traditionally secret budget negotiations, both the House and Senate appropriations committees say they would like to put the state budget on a unique regional public-hearing tour., The hearing for the Northern Virgiia region is set for Jan. 10, at a time and place yet to be decided. The hearing will come only two days after the complex budget is released to the public. (Editor's note: Jeff Nelson will be covering the 1992 session of the General Assembly in Richmond next month for the Rapjmhannock News.)

Editorial Come home, governor In September, we suggested Gov. L. Douglas Wilder forego the presidential campaign he entered shortly thereafter. Now, we think that Gov. Wilder should cut short his obviously long-shot bid and return to Richmond, where his leadership is desperately needed. Nearly two years into his administration, the governor has shown far too much interest in his own personal political ambitions and paid too little attention to the needs of the Virginia—whose voters, we remind him, he promised to serve until the end of his term in 1994. We realize that in politics, talk is cheap, but we took the governor seriously when he made those campaign promises. We suspect most other voters did too. And, we suspect many of those voters are as disappointed as we are at Gov. Wilder’s infidelity. Leadership carries responsibilities, and he is not accepting his. Perhaps in good times the machinery of government can roll along with only periodic course corrections; but in difficult times like these, more careful attention is required. The people are looking to the Governor’s Mansion for guidance. We don’t expect miracles, or even all the answers, but it would help to believe that Gov. Wilder’s mind is focused more on Virginia’s problems than the New Hampshire primary. Last Saturday in Florida, Gov. Wilder finished next to last in a straw poll of the six announced Democratic candidates. Only former California Gov. Jerry Brown got less support. Anyone who watched the Democrats debate Sunday evening knows Gov. Wilder can take little comfort in being close to Gov. Moonbeam in anything—least of all a popularity contest. During the debate, Gov. Wilder boasted of how he is overcoming the fiscal crisis in Virginia without raising taxes. That too, is true, as far as it goes. However, we invite the governor to visit Rappahannock County—or any other county or city in Virginia—and listen as local officials explain what the state’s budget cutting has done to their fiscal situation. The budget balancing in Richmond was done largely using the same method by which President Ronald Reagan attempted a similar feat in Washington: by shifting the burden of financing programs to local governments. But the voters know that whether the taxes are levied in Washington, or Richmond, or Warrenton, they still come out of the same pockets. Only Gov. Wilder knows what he really wants. But we know what he should do. Come home, governor. New Hampshire can wait. Virginia needs you now. DEMOCRATIC NAT/Cyy. COMMITTEE ‘ WE YE GOT TO FIND A CANDIDATE - ONE.

Letters to the Editor Generous list of donors To the Editor: I would like to thank everyone who has so generously donated to the new Rappahannock County Library. First, I would like to thank our volunteers: Mary Stuart Bain, Barbara Gentry, Norman Getsinger, John and Julie Hartline, Elisabeth Johnson, Cathy Knuepfer, Dorothy Kuncewicz, Holly May, Susan McCarthy, Sam McDermott, Edith Pond, Diane Reyland, Ruth Richards, Mary Edna Schaefer, Celine Siira, Erika Sinnott, Grace Sims, Frances Thornton, Arlene Wake, Mary Walters and all the other individuals for their time and commitment. Without these individuals we would be unable to offer the book selection and services the library now is able to offer. Secondly, I would like to thank Mitzi Young and the Library Program Committee for the planning and presenting of Rappahannock Perspectives, our first Friday evening series of programs about Rappahannock County. These programs have been and continue to be a great success. Third, thanks to all of you who have generously donated to the Friends of the Library current fund drive. Last of all thanks to those of you who have donated subscriptions and new books. Last month more than one-half of the 200 books acquired were donated to the library. The library is well used. Our book circulation statistics continue to rise each month. When comparing book circulation statistics with last year at this time we have an 85 percent to 105 percent increase from last year. We have a 7,000 percent increase in the number of individuals \signing up for library cards and an increase of 28 percent in the number jai people using the library. If you haven’t been into the new Rappahannock County Library, please come visit. We offer a variety of materials, programs and services. Thanks to everyone that is helping the library grow. NICKI McGUIRE LYNCH Director Rappahannock County Library Trees could have a use To the Editor: Yesterday a friend told me she got her Christmas tree by pulling a “road-kill” from the bulldozed pile across from the high school. Having cut woodland pines over the years, I know just about any tree brought indoors to trim at Christmas is perfect and welcome and initiates the Christmas season. I wonder why VDOT couldn’t have offered the two rows of pines to anyone who wanted to cut their own or dig their own before bulldozing? VDOT has received a lot of response from the community through the Adopt-a-Highway program and I’m sure they would’ve had some response to a tree given away this close to Christmas. , I feel much sadness seeing the trees coming down and the earth being pushed around in the name of progress. And I know it has already been decided—the road is not the issue here. It is my wish that all these changes could come without the sense that there is an across-theboard bulldozing as if nothing else mattered or that there isn’t time for anything else to matter. BARBARA SHERWOOD Washington, Va. Our spirit stays intact To the Editor: On Saturday, Nov. 30 at 9 a.m., we (the United Methodist Women of Amiss ville United Methodist Church) gathered to prepare our sanctuary and grounds for the Advent Season. This being such a joyous event in our Christian year, we were filled with excitement and enthusiasm as we hung the Chris mows on the tree (each a symbol of an event in Christ’s life), strung the lights, tied gold ribbons on the greens with white poinsettias, decorating the age old kerosene lamps and chandelier in the center of our church, placed at exact positions the garland around the balcony, placing the greens and poinsettias around the “Sermon on the Mount” stained glass window behind our pulpit and lastly stationed the Advent wreath representing the four Sundays of preparation leading up to the celebration of the birth of Christ. All was coming together so perfectly. We rejoiced as w'e viewed our beautiful sanctuary and the symbols of our Christian faith a**ve prepared to enter the Advent season. Such joy! After finishing in the sanctuary around noon we then placed our symbolic stable, cradle and nativity set on the lawn of our church—lit it to lift the spirits of those passers-by on U.S. 211 as well as those of the community to enjoy the beauty and wonder of the season. It wasn’t an elegant, expensive set, but one that had been used many, many times and in its use had become dull and with many broken places in the plastic contours of the figures. That was no great concern of ours, since we had repainted the entire group—Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, two kings (we had lost one completely through handling over the years), one shepherd, a donkey, a cow, a camel and two lambs. Our community, as well as we parishioners, enjoyed to the fullest just standing there in wonderment viewing the scene while our carillon played joyful Christmas music each evening at 6 and 8 p.m. Our children and community children drank in the serenity of the scene and the beauty of its promise to each of us. Sometime between 9 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 2 and 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 3, someone chose to take the figures and the manger from us, leaving an empty stable with the crude little fence and spotlight still intact. We don’t know the reason. . .could it be a mischievous or hate act? Certainly, we thought, no one would take it for display. Our disbelief was astounding. Questions we could not 'answer for an act we could not understand or believe. We, as Christians, realize that at any point in time, by whatever act or acts, our symbols of Christianity can physically be taken from us. We also know, as Paul writes in Romans 8:37-39, “In all these things we have complete victory through Him who loved us! For 1 am certain that nothing can separate us from His love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the world above nor the world below. There is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.” Certainly, we would like it returned to us, but through this experience we have been strengthened in our faith, to pray for the person or persons who removed it, that they may be forgiven, and that our God who ultimately is the ruler of all mankind and the world and who knows all things about all of us will fill our hearts with the real joy and peace that comes to us as we receive His gift of love to the world—Christ Jesus.

Ten years makes a world of difference in Va. politics By JOHN GOOLRICK It doesn t seem that long ago or far away, but nearly a decade has passed since the eventful year 1982 dawned on Virginia politics. In case you’ve forgotten, 1982 was a recession year in the state and nation. The experts say—though it’s hard to believe—the unemployment rate was higher and economic times even tougher than in the recession year of 1991. At the start of the year, Charles S. Robb was inaugurated governor of Virginia, the first Democrat installed in that office since Mills Godwin in 1966. Yet despite the loss of the governorship, Republicans were still riding high in Virginia. They held nine of the 10 congressional seats and the 10th member, Dan Daniel, might as well have been a Republican, given his voting habits. Not only that, but one of the two U.S. senators, John Warner, was a Republican, and the other senator, Harry F. Byrd Jr., an Independent, had decided to retire. With the state Democratic Party divided over who to nominate for the Senate seat, it appeared the GOP choice, Paul Trible, who had been a member of the House of Representatives, was well-positioned to win. Republican hopes were sky high, though the leadership seemed to ignore not only the warning signs of a faltering economy, but a cleverly concocted redistricting plan drawn by the Democratic majority in the General Assembly. The Democratic senatorial nominee Richard Davis of Portsmouth made the bad times a centerpiece of Moth quarantine being enforced The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS)/Office of Plant Protection is responsible for the enforcement of not only the Virginia Gypsy Moth Quarantine, but also assisting the U.S.D.A. in the enforcement of the Federal Gypsy Moth Quarantine. For a brochure titled “Don’t Move the Gypsy Moth” to assist the homeowner in these inspections, please call the Rappahannock Extension Office at 675-3619. Old Dominion Politics his campaign and came close to winning, though President Ronald Reagan came into Virginia urging voters to “stay the course” and elect Trible. The president said the recession would help wring inflation out of the economy and that better times were just around the comer. Had Davis been a bit more charismatic, he might well have won. On Election Day, Nov. 2, three new Democratic members of Congress from Virginia emerged—Norman Sisisky from the 4th District, James Olin from the 6th and Rick Boucher from the 9th (and one Republican, Herbert Bateman from the 1st). The Democrats had cut the House margin to 6-4 and have now turned it in their favdr 6-4. What has all that got to do with the price of anything? Well, 10 years later we are coming up on another potentially bellwether election year in Virginia that might give some hint of the state’s direction politically the rest of this century. Absent the poor economy that has come about after boom times in the 1980s, Republicans might be poised for another landslide presidential win that could sweep into office two or three new Republican members of the House of Representatives at the expense of Democratic incumbents. The redistricting card helped Democrats in 1982 and thereafter in congressional elections considerably more than it will next year or thereafter. The reason is that by law they had to create a major black district—called by some “The Bobby Scott District” after a black state senator from Newport News whose name appears to be written all over it. Given a strong re-election run by President Bush, Republicans should be able to win in the 1st, 7th and 10th districts, stand a good chance of knocking off Democratic incumbents in the 2nd, 6th, and 9th districts, stand an outside chance in the 5th and be competitive in a newly created Northern Virginia 11th District. Democrats would appear safe only in the new black 3rd District and the 4th and 8th districts. All of which means the GOP may be poised to again gain control of the delegation by 7-4 or 6-5. But, and that’s with a capital “B,” the economy will be the wild card. Maybe the present recession isn’t statistically as bad as that of 1982, but you’ll have a hard time making people believing it, particularly when this time around it’s hit areas of the state formerly thought recession-proof such as Tidewater and Northern Virginia, and particularly since there is widespread ap-( prehension about defense-industry cutbacks in a state whose economy is heavily dependent on defense spending.

For months the family plodded through the maze of paperwork, finally determining that they wanted to work with the orphanage in Costa Rica. “Costa Rica is actually the hardest country to adopt from in Central America,” said Mrs. Hickerson. It is considered prime because it has a stabile democracy, has European roots and maintains a higher standard of living. The Hickersons overcame some legal impediments inside Costa Rica that came up during their first visit with Maria in late summer. Mrs. Hickerson said the first visit was “of course very emotional. “She had prepared a banner saying, “Welcome, I love you, Maria,’ ” said Mrs. Hickerson. Finally the way was cleared for Mrs. Hickerson to return to Costa Rica Dec. 1 and get final approval from the U.S. Embassy in San Jose, the capital. Maria was on a plane to her new home in Rappahannock County Dec. 5. Their daughter is not a U.S. citizen, but holos a Green Card for the time being, said Mrs. Hickerson. She will be able to decide for herself when she is older if she wants to be a U.S. citizen. The language barrier is falling quickly, said Mrs. Hickerson, partly because Maria was exposed to English at the orphanage. She and new sister Jennie are enrolled at Fresta Valley Christian School near Marshall and are looking forward to Christmas and, later, a promised visit to Disney World. “She’s a real sweet little girl; you’ll find a lot of these children are,” said Mrs. Hickerson. “I guess because they’ve never had, like the children have here, they are just so appreciative of what you do for them.” During the entire process, Mrs. Hickerson was harboring some doubts, which she said are normal. “You’re, thrilled but you have a tendency to say, ‘Am I doing the right thing?’ It’s not for everybody—some people can adopt, some can’t.” Cable TV Continued from page A-1 how far those lines go will depend on housing density. The rates include two levels of service. Broadcast service costs $10 per month. It includes 15 channels received over the air and does not include any services carried on satellites. Mr. Burke said fewer than 1 percent of the company’s customers in Front Royal take only broadcast service. Standard service costs $21.95 per month and includes 35 channels. Such programming as ESPN, CNN, Discovery and MTV is included in standard service. In addition, some channels cost an extra premium. The Disney channel costs an extra $8.50 per month. Such channels as HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax cost $11 for the first extra channel, $8 for the second and $6 each for three or more. There are other monthly rates. Service to an additional TV set costs $3.50 per month for broadcast or standard service or $6.95 to include the premium channels chosen for the first set. A remote controller rents for an additional $2.50 per month. There is an additional $50 installation fee that provides for up to three TVs. This would be the only installation fee for those in the service area. Those more than 200 feet from the main lines would also have to pay to have service extended more than 200 feet. Mr. Burke said that might run from 65 cents to $1 per foot depend ing on the distance with further distances costing more per foot because they might require heavier cable or amplification. Mr. Burke said the company planned to provide service to Chester Gap this coming summer with the rest of the service area hooked up be December 1993. He said most of the construction would be completed by September 1993, with hookups at the rate of about 50 per week after that. He said the company estimated it would be serving 800 to 900 customers in Rappahannock by the end of 1993. He estimated it would cost the company at least $720,000 to provide the service. Washington Mayor Dean Morehouse noted that with such a large initial investment "only a company this big could do it.” STOREWIDE HOUDAY SAVINGS !■ 19 BT Wm FmUv*> 144>toc« r ilCC HOSTESS SET • Six 14-0z.

Correspondents: The glue that holds communities together ' By LISA G. CURRIE Rappahannock N»*« Staff W ritar • One trademark of hometown ■ newpapers is hometown news. ! Social columns, very much a part ; of the Rappahannock .Yews, are a byproduct of the first newpapers, 1 when communities lived without modem communications such as telephone, television and a network ’ of highways and dual-car families. Social columns kept people living in small communities in touch with one another. You won’t find them in the Washington Post or the New York Times, but you will find them in the Rappahannock News. The social notes—seven different columns from seven different communities around the county—are filled with pleasantries, community , events, joyful expressions of births and sorrowful expressions of death, ' visitations and departures. For many, they are a welcome additioned to routine new's stories, and for some they are the substance of which the weekly paper is made. Correspondent Polly Aylor has been wTiting social columns for this newspaper for over 35 years. Producer of the Flint Hill column, Mrs. Aylor is married and has one daughter. A mother-at-home for over 19 years, Mrs. Aylor has recently taken on a full-time job at Aileen in Flint Hill. A member of the Sperryville United Methodist Church, Mrs. Aylor said she enjoys the time spent each week preparing her column and the recognition she receives. “I’ve been writing since about * 1956,” she said with laughter, adding at the time she was a teenager at Rappahannock County High School. n “Mrs. Barbara Gentry was doing 'the column before me and when she gave it up, she asked me to take it on,” said Mrs. Aylor. Bom in Flint Hill, Mrs. Aylor is a ■"native of the county and familiar with most families and most faces. ‘Many of the people I call, it’s just for social notes, but some anticipate my call, saying they could set their watch’by the ring. — Cathy Pullen Sperryville “People were familiar with my name,” so taking on the position came easy, she added. Today, 35 years later, Mrs. Aylor does her correspondence by phone, spending several hours on Monday evening contacting friends for information. She calls most of her contacts, though often people call her with information. When she started, she had no telephone and her work was done on foot. “I was still in high school and at home,” she said, adding she “would just walk up and down the street” visiting friends and collecting information as she went.

Another long-time correspondent is June Clark of Woodville. Born and raised in Woodville, she has been writing the weekly social column for more than 15 years. “I started when Sarah Latham was editor,” she said. A widow living with her granddaughter, Mrs. Clark takes several hours on Sunday evening to call friends in Woodville. She is familiar with most of the names and faces but “there are a lot of new ones I am not familiar with,” she said. But, like other social columns, her weekly news is anticipated by readers. Mrs. Clark said one native woman, now living in Richmond, awaits the paper each week to turn first to the Woodville news. Unrelated to the above mentioned though another long-time correspondent is Ruth Clark of Washington. Mrs. Clark presently has served two years as correspondent for the Washington area but this is her second time around. “I also was correspondent when Sarah Latham was” editor, she said.

She gets her information in the mail, through phone calls and by calling people. “I write a lot of news about people I’ve never met, except over the phone, but they’re still our friends.” “It’s one way of finding out what activities are going on out there,” said correspondent for the Amissville news Cathy Lou Smith. A native of Haymarket and a newcomer to the county, Mrs. Smith said when her family moved here four years ago she noticed there was no correspondent for the Amissville area and inquired about the position. “I had been a correspondent” for another newspaper, she explained, and found the social notes column a valuable resource for community information. “It’s a really neat experience and a great way to meet people,” she said. A mother of three and a grandmother of seven with anticipation of another in the new year, Mrs. Smith subscribes to several other newspapers for information to add to her column. “Sometimes you have to go after the news,” she said with laughter, adding she, also, spends time each Monday calling friends and groups for information. a aevoiea granamomer ana housewife, Mrs. Smith was forced to forgo her work with the column several times due to a heart condition that restricts her activity. “I have to be aware of my stress level,” she said, explaining that when she is unable to give it her “best.

The battle for Brandy Station rages By SUSETTE RITENOUR Arundel Newopapem Stuff Writer The fight continues over 14,500 acres eligible for historic designation at Brandy Station in Culpeper eCounty, sparking political debate on rthe homefront and at both capitols. t When Lee Sammis, a California •developer, purchased 5,000 acres at ■Brandy Station near the airport and •industrial park for further development, preservationists organized *a fight against the “taking” of the rgite of Battle of Brandy Station. Although Sammis’ six-millionsquare-foot industrial project was approved by the Board of Supervisors last year, the Brandy Station Foundation, a preservationist group, fought to have the land, and 9,000 acres more, designated on the national historic register. Some of the 14,500 acres are in Fauquier County. The Town of Remington comes very close to being included and a large area near Kelly's Ford is listed. According to Sue Hansohn, cofounder of the Citizens for Land Rights, the maneuver represents an abuse of the federal government’s Preservation Act because the Brandy Station Foundation is using it to limit development, not preserve an historic site. The Citizens for Land Rights largely consists of landowners whose property, now deemed eligible for historic designation, is locked into state and federal bureaucracies lim' iting its usage. They are angry because much of what has been decided about their property can be done without their permission, said Ms. Hansohn. “When you are either eligible for or designated an historical site, then you must follow strict guidelines for getting permits and licenses when working with federal funds. The landowners are against this, yet it J happened anyway,” she said. Specifically, the process for historic designation works in this way. The Brandy Station Foundation nominated 3,000 acres to the Virginia Historic Resources Board. That board can, without the consent of the landowners, decide it should ' be considered for historic desig•' nation. The board automatically nominates it to the National Register of Historic Places, a branch of the Na" tional Park Service. At that point, said Ms. Hansohn, the federal gov-• emment must notify landowners of the possibility and a majority vote - must approve it. ‘ Ms. Hansohn said 80 percent of the landowners said no. “Then somer- thing incredible happened. The Na- tional Park Service chose not to take ' it back to the National Register board to vote yes or no on its historic value, but labeled the property as “eligible.” She said that after the landowners voted against the move, the National Park Service decided to expand the amount of land included in the proposal from 3,000 to 14,500 acres. “What this does is put on hold development of the land when federal money is used, which it almost always has to because of roads and housing loans. If your land is considered eligible for historic designation, it is under the same regulations as ii it were already designated,” she said. Ms. Hansohn explained that in the Preservation Act, the National Park Service could make property eligible for an unlimited amount of time to save historic places from the bulldozers. “The law had a specific reason and that was to stop things from happening to a piece of land or house until you could determine whether it was historic. That isn’t what they are doing. No one is studying this area, no official historians anyway. They just marked all of the 14,500 acres as eligible and plan to leave it that way so no development will occur,” said Ms. Hansohn. d.d. Mitcneu, president 01 tne Brandy Station Foundation, disagrees. “Our aim is to protect the rural integrity of the area,” he said. Mr. Mitchell explained that the foundation clearly supports the National Park’s move, even though the land' will never be a national park. “Those who don’t like it are those who would like to sell it at a greater profit than what it’s worth,” said Mr. Mitchell, adding that the land is only limited in its use when federal money is used. “It is just making sure that your discretionary in your uses of it,” he said. The Brandy Station Foundation, which boasts more than 1,000 members nationwide, opposes the Sammis project. Mr. Mitchell said that although the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors approved the project, it was opposed by the county’s planning commission. “It will destroy what’s here. He wants to develop six million square feet of industrial park,” he said. “He hasn’t told us what that would consist of, whether it would be strip malls like Potomac Mills in Prince William or what. He hasn’t said what he’ll do with the rest of his 5,000 acres,” said Mr. Mitchell. “We aren’t against growth and development as people said. We just don’t approve of the magnitude of the project,” he said.

Virginia Sens. Charles S. Robb, D, and John Warrt&, R, and former U.S. Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr., R, have said the size of the land made eligible under the plan is as worrisome as the preservationist-growth disagreements. “I am disturbed that the Park Service reached this decision while they were engaged in significant and cooperative discussions with Culpeper County and a majority landowner in the designated area, Lee Sammis,” stated Sen. Warner in July. “I am concerned that the precedent set by this Park Service decision could mean that the thousands of privately-held areas throughout Virginia could be restricted, without due process to landowners, and without allowing the mission of the Civil War Sites Advisory Committee to be fulfilled,” added Sen. Warner. Sen. Warner specifically commented on the increased area from 3,000 to 14,500 acres. “It appears to me that there is little distinction between these two designations and that it is having a chilling affect on future growth in Culpeper County.” He told the Citizens for Land Rights group that he made his concerns known to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Sen. Robb said in a letter to J. Bennett Johnston, a member of Energy and Natural Resources, that he felt landowners “may not have received the full due process they deserve.” Rep. Slaughter said he is watching the issue of preservation closely having witnessed several other cases, notably the Save the Battlefield situation in Prince William County. “I am concerned that the growing level of frustration in the community and among preservation interests could preclude a mutually favorable agreement on how best to preserve and interpret the Battle of Brandy Station for future generations,” he said. Lee Sammis, a developer who purchased 5,000 acres that are included in the proposal, proffered 248 acres for a Brandy Station Battlefield park area and offered to maintain it as well. He also said he would shut down Route 676 that runs on his property and turn it into a hiking and biking trail. Rep. Slaughter said he would like to know more about Sammis’ proposals. “First, I would like a better understanding of the status of Mr. Lee Sammis’ proffer of 248 acres for interpretation of military actions which occurred on his property during the Battle of Brandy Station,” he said. moves to limit Culpeper County’s ability to develop property. “I don’t think it will be settled with this kind of effort. I think it is going to end up in the courts, to decide if what they are doing to limit growth and development is constitu tional,” said Ms. Hansohn. “We are going to become a bedroom community. While many say that industry brings in more taxes, we have a seven percent unemployment rate here? Where are people ?oing to work?” asked Ms. Hansohn.

Ed Robb laid out a sweeping plan for overhauling Virginia’s prosecution of drug-related crime in his first speech since Election Day last week. Sen. Robb’s proposal is designed to speed up adjudication of serious drug cases and lighten the load of misdemeanor cases. In a speech to the annual meeting of the Virginia Association of Law Intelligence Documentation (VALID) in Charlottesville, Sen. Robb proposed setting up new, multi-jurisdictional courts to deal exclusively with serious, felonious narcotics offenses. Sen. Robb’s “Swift and Sure” drug courts would have a special prosecutor assigned to each one along with special court security. “Defense lawyers have the luxury of specializing. Prosecutors should have the same advantage,” Sen. Robb told the lawmen. “I fear the day will soon come when, like some Latin American countries, bodily harm done to judges, jurors, or prosecutors in drug cases will become economically feasible in Virginia. We can head that off by establishing high security courtrooms to deal exclusively with drug crime,” Sen. Robb said. According to the former FBI agent and new state legislator, funding for the courts could come at no added expense to the taxpayer. Under his plan each participating locality would be assessed a part of its State Compensation Board resources. Since their regular system would be freed from processing drug cases and since there would be an efficiency of scale in the new courts, “there would be no net added expense,” according to Sen. Robb. Meanwhile Sen. Robb would permit misdemeanant-type drug offenders to waive court appearance by paying stiff fines and submitting to drug rehab and counseling on a point system like VASAP. All the expenses would be bom by the criminal.

Andy Guest Continued from page A-1 held the other seat in the district. Following the 1981 redistricting he ran for a seat representing Clarke, Warren, Rappahannock and Page counties. That redistricting failed a challenge and in 1982 he ran in the current district made up of Clarke, Warren, Rappahannock counties and parts of Fauquier and Culpeper counties. His new district, following the 1991 redistricting and election, will be Page County and parts of Warren, Frederick, Shenandoah and Rockingham counties. Of his 20 years in the legislature, Del. Guest said he has helped to pass bills allowing agricultural and forestal districts and allowing land use taxation. In Front Royal he set up the first full-time office for constituent service. He said that function of the job has become “co-equal” with r the legislative part. He has sponsored bills that have put the Shenandoah and Rappahannock rivers under scenic river protection. He sponsored a bill changing the rules for farm wineries that has resulted in Virginia wineries growing from “a handful to more than 40,” he said. He sponsored a bill at the request of Clarke County to set new well standards for that county that has since been applied statewide. Del. Guest noted that he has opposed bills on behalf of his constituents as well as supported others. Of the state’s current fiscal crisis, Del. Guest said there are several ways to reduce the cost of state government. “There are any number of agencies that concern the lives and well-being of children,” he said. “We can continue the services while eliminating the duplication and overlap.” He said the Republican Party is conducting an “in-house” study to identify more such areas of overlap. He also suggested the state should not fill vacancies that result from Andy Guest Residence: Front Royal Age:52 Political party: Republican Education: Yale University, economics Current elective office: State delegate Occupation: Farmer Phone number: 703-6355553 state employees taking early retirement. “A lot of people in Richmond are working for the state,” he said. He said another area identified where the state could save money is in the number of hours college professors spend teaching. “A 40-hour work week is considered normal,” he said. He said if a college professor spends an hour in preparation for every hour spent teaching some are still only working nine hours a week. He noted that, at 18 hours per week, Norfolk State gets the most hours per week out of its professors. He added that last year, to ballance the state’s budget, several BOARD OF EQUALIZATION INTERVIEWS Notice is hereby given that, in accordance with §58.1-3370 et seq., of the Code of Virginia, Circuit Court Judge W. Shore Robertson will interview all interested candidates for the 1992 Rappahannock County Board of Equalization at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, January 13, 1992 at the Courthouse in Washington, VA The Board of Equalization, consists of five persons otherwise qualified below, whose duty it shall be to hear and give consideration to such complaints of inequities in the recent general reassessment of real property in Rappahannock County. The Board shall be empowered to equalize or adjust such assessment through its review. Persons interested in sitting on the Board of Equalization are required to be freeholders of Rappahannock County and must agree to attend and participate in a basic course of instruction given by the Department of Taxation. All interested persons are requested to submit a resume or letter outlining their qualifications, no later than Monday, January 6, 1992, to Judge Robertson, care of L. Diane Bruce, Clerk of the Circuit Court, P.O. Box 517, Washington, VA 22747, and to present themselves on Monday, January 13 for an interview with Judge Robertson. By Order of: John W. McCarthy ___ County Administrator funds, such as retirement and transportation, were used for general revenue. “They raided every fund they were able to raid,” he said. “Those wells are hard to go back to.” He said he does not believe Gov. Wilder and the people working for him have the experience “to attack the budget in a tough time.” He noted that in Richmond people are joking that to bring a matter to the governor’s attention they have to “fax the message to the plane.” On the lawsuit the state is facing on disparities in educational funding, Del. Guest said the state needs to “define the educational effort that should be sustained. If other areas can supplement that fine.*’ Del. Guest said that studies have shown no correlation between dollars spent on education and such measures as the drop-out rate and SAT scores. “Dollars alone can’t be used as a true measure of how a school system is delivering education to students.” Del. Guest said he has been trying for years to get the formula for computing local “ability to pay” for education to use land-use rather than fair market value for real estate. He noted that urban and suburban areas don’t support such a change “to give up something to preserve the scenic vistas they drive out to see. Maybe when they are choking and dying in their own filth, they’ll see the sense of it,” he added. He said he had also been trying to get lottery monies returned to the localities. He noted that the money goes out of the localities to Richmond “and nothing comes back.” If funds were returned to the localities, they would boost the local economies, he said. He said he had found, however, that the 20 members of the house appropriations committee feel “they have the sole right to spend tax dollars.” He has some advice for Jerry Wood, newly elected to represent Rappahannock, most of Fauquier and about half of Warren counties. “Be open to the people and listen to them,” he said. “The main thing is that it is an honor to represent these very fine constituents. You can learn a lot from them, as I did.” Town Council Continued from page A-1 building’s uses to “public purposes” only. Examples she listed were town meetings, offices and the storage of public records. (Another deed restriction forces the town to maintain the building’s exterior appearance as it looked in 1989.) As to uses such as parties, weddings and concerts, Ms. Bruce stated: “Those of us who live there already have parking problems. I would still hope the use of this building is limited to public purposes.” Council member Newbill Miller said he had “a big problem with exempting ourselves. . . .from the ordinances of the town.” Mayor Dean Morehouse said the question of the building’s use was “back on the table,” and then town resident Charlie Eldred proposed a fourth alternative: amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow Town Halls has a use in residential areas. Mr. Miller expressed his support for that proposal as it will allow a public hearing on the matter. On a motion by Mr. Miller the council unanimously voted to refer the matter to the Planning Commis sion. In other business last week, the Town Council: • Heard from town resident Fran Eldred about the goings-on of the town Architectural Review Board. “If we’re going to have an ARB, which personally I am not particularly in favor of, then we should have a strong ARB,” said Mrs. Eldred. She accused the present board of “some selective enforcement due to some holes in the ordinances” and said the ARB was contributing to the “Disneyfication of Washington, Va.” “Either abolish the ARB or firm up the ARB,” she told the board. Ms. Eldred and other town residents have expressed concern about several recent board decisions. Most recently a renovation project by The Inn’s owners Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch for a Gay Street building led to the charge that it had become in actuality a demolition. Mr. O’Connell sits on the town ARB but recused himself from consider NOTICE Presentation and Public Information Exchange Concerning the Proposed v Building of a Middle School in Rappahannock County The meeting will be held in the Rappahannock County High School Auditorium on January 2, 1992 at 7:30 p.m. The Superintendent of Schools will present the background and need for schopl expansion and the public will have an opportunity to comment concerning the concept of middle school construction.

An ARB member, Whayne Haffler, resigned over the ARB’s decision in the O’Connell-Lynch matter. Mayor Morehouse said the town has been trying to get the Historic District Ordinance amended for several months and added that he agreed with Hugh Miller, the director of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, who said after a recent visit to the town that its ordinances should “allow some flexibility.” Mayor Morehouse said that he planned to attend this week’s work session on the ordinance but added, “I disagree with you 100 percent that there’s been selective enforcement of the ordinance. ” Mrs. Eldred clarified, saying the “public perception is that there’s been [selective enforcement].” The mayor added that there is now a vacancy on the ARB and that the town is taking nominations and will fill it at the council’s January meeting. In a related issue, the council also discussed problems it is having getting the new Subdivision Ordinance and the new Historic District Ordinance ready for a public hearing in the next months. Mr. Reynolds said that legally the council is permitted to hold public hearings on both at t|je same time. The council tentatively decided to advertise the Subdivision Ordinance in February and the Historic District Ordinance in March. • Heard a report from council member Ray Gooch that the town will be passing out small “party favors”—hats, bags and refrigerator magnets—during the new recycling center’s first day being open to county residents, 8 a. m.-noon Saturday, Jan. 4. On that day, and on the firet Saturday of every month, county residents can drop off their recyclables (except newsprint) at the new site next to the Washington Fire Company headquarters on Warren Avenue. Mr. Gooch also said the town’s regular third-Saturday pickup will take place Dec. 21 and continue in 1992. This marks the town’s 24th month of recycling. • Heard a report from Louise van Dort that the 6th Annual Colonial Christmas Celebration “worked out just fine.” She said this year’s was a learning experience, and she will be put ting together a history of the event w to aid in planning for future years. - One thing that might help next year, she said, is getting together earlier with the Sheriffs Office to schedule , trustys’ time for some of the event’s preparations. ! “The town owes deep gratitude to Louise” for her work on the Christmas and 4th of July celebrations, said Mr. Gooch. • Was updated by Mr. Reynolds on the status of the two suits per- v taining to Fredette Eagle’s shed on.„ the ^omer of Gay and Wheeler.m streets. He said a demurrer has,., been filed by his office and the judge is in the process of deciding if a tran- __ script of the Board of Zoning Ap- j peals’ deliberations is needed. . • Heard a presentation by Wake-, field Country Day School acting , headmaster Pamela Lynn about a town seal designed by her daughters Katie and Marcy. After a visit to the i. town Dec. 4, said Mrs. Lynn, some , of the WCDS students realized the town lacks an official town seal. She , submitted it for the council’s reac- ! tion. Mayor Morehouse said he thought the town already had a seal , “somewhere.” • Heard a proposal from town resident Diane Bruce that the new Town Hall (old library) be named the James Leake Powers Building, after the man who designed it for use as a church. Mr. Powers also designed several of the town’s other promi- > nent buildings. No action was taken on the suggestion.

Volleyballers take Tip-off Tournament By MARK SCOLFORO Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock High varsity volleyball team is off to its best start ever after winning the Manassas Park Tip-off Tournament last weekend. The Lady Panthers are 5-1 overall, 1-0 in the district after beating Brentsville, Manassas Park and George Mason in the tournament, Manassas Park in the opener and Clarke in the first game of district play Monday. The team’s sole loss came against Central in a non-Bull Run District game last week. “We’ve shown that we’re capable of playing with the best teams around,” said Coach Paul Paratore. “The tournament was a good day for teamwork.” Consistent all-around play by Shannon Walters, strong serves by Alice Reeve and Kelly Cunningham, good spikes at the net by Lori Paratore and “hustle play” by Sherry Weakley and Heather Coffey were the keys to the tournament win, said Coach Paratore. The team started its season by losing its first game at Manassas Park Dec. 10, 12-15, but then bbunced back to win the last two in the best-of-three contest, 15-2, 1510. The JVs also won, in straight sets, 15-5, 15-8. Two days later the team suffered its only loss to date against Central at home, 15-11, 3-15, 7-15 (the JVs lost 0-15, 8-15). Central won the district last season. The Lady Panthers opened strong in the Tip-off Tournament, beating Brentsville 15-3, 15-6, and Manassas Park 15-8, 15-6, to set up the title game with the George Mason Mustangs. The first game went into extra serves before Rappahannock won 16-14, but the deciding game wasn’t as close, 15-8. Rappahannock ran its streak to 5-1 on Monday, beating Clarke County at home in another non-district game against a district opponent, 15-11, 16-14. Basketball team loses two games The news wasn’t so good for the Rappahannock varsity basketball team this week, as it suffered two tough losses. The Panthers held an eight-point lead and the end of the first half against George Mason in Falls Church last week before dropping the contest, 57-55. Eight different players contributed to the Panther’s 32 points by halftime, but in the second half turnovers and mental breakdowns allowed the Mustangs to come back. Junior forward Michael Williams had 21 points and 14 rebounds and junior guard Kevin Jolliffe had 13 points and three assists. They were the only Rappahannock players in double figures. J.C. Welch and Ryan Welch played well coming off the bench, said Panthers Coach Gary Leake. “The first half was a textbook game, offense and defense,” said Coach Leake. “On both sides of the court we played equally well.” “Last year we had some problems not playing 32 minutes,” said the coach, and that was the problem against George Mason. “I think it led into our loss Saturday night.” On Saturday Luray blew out the Panthers, 73-49, in the home opener for Rappahannock before a moderate crowd. Williams picked up three fouls in the first three minutes and sat out the rest of the half, and his 16 second-half points weren’t nearly enough to overcome Luray. Jolliffe added 12 points as well. During the first three games, Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Shannon Walters goes up for the spike against Clarke County Dec. 16. The volleyball team’s record is 5-1. said Coach Leake, he has been “overly pleased with the play of Michael and Kevin. Right now, though, we need to get some leadership from our seniors.” Senior forwards Jason Henry and James Roy have drawn tight coverage on defense, keeping them in check, and in the backcourt turn overs and fouls are hurting the Panthers, he said. Although the Panthers are 0-1 in the district, 0-3 overall, Coach Leake said the two-point district loss was not a serious as it could have been. “We’re not in a state of panic by any means. If Luray was in our division they’d be one of the top two teams.” Town releases study of parking situation Town Council member Susan Parrish released a comprehensive study of the parking situation in the Town of Washington during the council meeting last week, telling the council: “Theoretically we’ve got a lot of parking problems in town, but it seems to work pretty well. ” One of the study’s major findings concerns “No Parking” areas. Mrs. Parrish said a VDOT official told her that “there are virtually no VDOT signs designating Parking or No Parking areas in the town, and cars have historically been parked wherever is convenient. This situation has been allowed to continue because of relatively low traffic volume and slow speeds, and because the situation has not been deemed to present an impediment to traffic or a safety hazard.” “In reality,” the study continues, “the potential for danger may be a serious consideration because of the narrowness of town streets and widespread disregard of posted speed limits. The minimum right-ofway normally required for roads by VDOT is relaxed in historic districts so that the character of places to be preserved can be maintained. “In addition, in most cases, the paved road extends from curb to curb without a shoulder meant for , parking. This results in a bottleneck " situation, when cars parallel parked along both sides of the street do not ' allow two cars travelling in opposite directions to pass each other easily. " Parallel parking along the street also J decreases visibility when pulling out :>f driveways or from side streets ' into main streets. Many property owners complain of blocked driveways by parked cars. Prime areas of concern seem to be North Mainu Street between Calvert and Middle , streets, and Gay Street in front of " the courthouse.” ** The study enumerated each of .j the town’s parking spaces and in- U eluded references to parking in the o town’s various ordinances and plan- h ning documents. ' , t Mayor Dean Morehouse sug-f' gested the possibility of looking into a municipal lot that would be shared ~ by the county. Town resident Charlie Eldred’' said during the council’s discussion ", of the study that the parking crunch " has a positive side: it slows traffic, n down, especially on Main and Gay" streets. ", Economy Continued from page A-3 Bowen, is the fallout from a stillpending lawsuit filed against the Virginia Department of Social Services by Legal Aid over Food Stamp non-compliance. She said that because of the suit, which alleges some jurisdictions in Virginia were slow in getting Food Stamps out to those in need, a new level of bureaucratic checks has been installed without any additional staffing to perform it. Rappahannock was not one of the counties or cities cited as being late ■ in providing Food Stamps benefits, she pointed out, but it must nonetheless participate in the new system,\r; further straining its human re-" sources. Business closings in Culpeper* and other surrounding communitiesM have also led to lay-offs, and the So-"'' rial Services staff has found it dis- “ couraging to try to solve so many cases.

Congressman brings legislative agenda (J.S. Rep. Frank Wolfs new district includes Rappahannock County By LOU HATTER Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer U.S. Rep. Frank R. Wolf, R10th, suggested recently that President George Bush should immediately announce his economic recovery plan, instead of waiting until the State of the Union address in January. Rep. Wolf, who will represent Rappahannock County under the redistricting plan approved Dec. 9 by the General Assembly, suggested President Bush recall the Congress to Washington after Christmas for a special session to deal with the economy. A resolution urging the president to call for the special session has gained 66 co-sponsors, Rep. Wolf said. He predicted that President Bush will announce “bold initiatives” for dealing with the country’s economic malaise, but added, “I would hope he will not wait until the State of the Union address. He needs to go to the nation with his message.” Rep. Wolfs remarks were made during an interview Dec. 5 with Arundel Newspapers editors in Warrenton. He said that the economy is in need of a “jumpstart, but we need to do it in a way that helps families.” Rep. Wolfs own economic initiative, which has gained 259 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, is a measure to increase the personal exemption for taxpayers with children from the present $2,150 to $3,500. He called it “a tax break to the middle class,” noting that if the standard deduction were indexed to inflation it would presently be $8,200. Rep. Wolf testified on the measure Dec. 6 before the House Ways and Means Committee. Noting that his Tax Fairness for Families Act has gained bi-partisan support from 150 Republicans and 109 Democrats, Rep. Wolf asked that the bill be made the “centerpiece” of any economic package. *0/7 Dondet,/ OnB/toen"^ Santa travels the world to bring you a holiday filled with good will. B&B SERVICE CENTER Route 211 West \ Sperryville, VA ^RAPftfr 987-8686 Mafeit NAm BRAND new! “Families,” he said, “have been hit hardest by this dramatic erosion of the dependent deduction.” In his testimony, Rep. Wolf pointed to the support from both parties for the measure, and said the bill “is the only measure before this committee that already has the broad-based support needed to pass. It would be a tragedy for families if the one tax bill, the one piece of the economic growth package that is already agreed to, is left out of the final pie.” Rep. Wolf is the co-sponsor of a second tax-relief measure also targeted toward moderate income families. That bill would provide an additional $500 tax credit per child under five to families earning less than $50,000. He pointed out that the increase in the standard deduction would lower the taxpayer’s taxable income, while the tax credit would also offset their tax liability. The two measures taken together, Rep. Wolf said, would provide a family with two young children, earning $30,000 a year, with $1,400 in tax relief. “Easing the dollar deficit,” he said, “can in turn help ease the ‘time deficit’ so that parents will be able to spend more time with their families . . . [and] allows individuals and families to have more choices and opportunities. It is a win-win policy for both families and government.” Rep. Wolf, who has represented Northern Virginia since his election to Congress in 1980, picked up Rapfiahannock and Fauquier counties in he decennial redistricting, which shifted several rural counties along the Blue Ridge Mountains from the 7th to the 10th District. He is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, and is the ranking Republican on the Select Committee on Children, Youth and . Families, where he has served since the committee was formed in 1982. He is also the senior minority member of the Treasury-Postal Have a beautiful Christmas. It’s a pleasure to serve you.

Though his 10th District is largely made up of Northern Virginia suburbs, he said he has successfully worked with constituents in rural western Loudoun County as well. “They’ll tell you I’ve worked with them, worked with the Farm Bureau on a lot of issues. ” Most recently, Rep. Wolf has been vocal is his criticism of the Central Intelligence Agency and its plan to move 3,000 agency jobs from its Langley headquarters and surrounding communities to West Virginia. Rep. Wolf charged that the move had been engineered by Sen. Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, bypassing normal channels used by the federal government for such relocations. Rep. Wolf said Sen. Byrd had promised his constituents that, in delivering the CIA relocation project, he would bring “a billion-dollar corporation” to the financially beleaguered state.

Frank Wolf “They didn’t worry about all i those things—they were looking in terms of, ‘How can we get this out to West Virginia?’ . . . You want to help, but you don’t help one region by tearing down another.” In early November, members of the House and Senate reached a compromise agreement on the CIA consolidation that authorizes $10 million for land acquisition, but provides that the money cannot be spent until the agency submits a report that details the impact that the move will have on its employees, evidence that its plans will result in a cost savings, and certification that the process for selecting a site and acquiring land will follow procedures used by the General Services Administration, the government’s landlord. Rep. Wolf also said he has no plans to move from the 10th District to seek election in another district. After newly-elected Rep. George Allen was redistricted out of the 7th District, some Republicans suggested Rep. Wolf should move to make room for Rep. Allen to run next year for the 10th District seat. “My home is in the 10th District,” he said firmly. “I’ve said wherever my home is, that’s where I will run. And that’s where I am.” Best of everything to you. HILLSDALE GROCERY Rt. 211 Near Massie's Corner 675-3115 Numbers Continued from page A-1 38.6.

These tips can help bake perfect batches of holiday cookies By HELEN W. SMITH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Cookies are fun to eat and to make. The holiday season calls for extra fancy cookies for entertaining and for giving as gifts. There are six basic types of cookies: drop, rolled, molded or pressed, refrigerator, bar, and no-bake. Drop cookies These are quick and easy to make; simply dropped from spoon and baked. Tips: 1. To minimize spreading, chill dough slightly before dropping, then mound in center when dropped on cookie sheet. 2. Space 2-3 inches apart. Remember, the thinner the dough, the more cookies will spread. Rolled cookies These are as much fun to make as they are to eat: especially good for HOME ECONOMICS children. Tips: 1. Temperature is important - temperature of day, kitchen, dough, hands - all should be cool. 2. Chill dough until firm but not hard. If the dough is too cool, it will crack and split when rolled. 3. If dough is unusually soft or sticky, chill board and rolling pin as well as dough. 4. Roll small amount of dough (1 cup) at a time and keep remainder in refrigerator. 5. Resist the temptation to add flour when dough sticks; this makes cookies tough and dry. To avoid using extra flour, use a stockingnette covered rolling pin or roll dough between two sheets of waxed paper. 6. Flour cutters only if dough is soft and sticky and then only lightly. 7. Cut cookies as close together as possible so there will be few scraps to re-roll (re-rolling makes the cookies tough). 8. Space cookies 3/4-1-inch apart unless recipe states otherwise; most rolled cookies spread very little. 9. If you are making these for a tree ornament, cut hole for ribbon or hanger before baking. Otherwise, cookie will crack. 10 Lbs. & Up Grade A SELFBASTING TURKEYS Dinner Bell, Gwaltney Or Smithfield Brand 15Lbs. Avg. - Sliced FREE! WHOLE SEMIBONELESS HAMS Lb 1.27 Fresh Grade A 10-14 Lbs.

From all the employees at FOOD UON, we wish you a Happy HoHdayl Molded or pressed These three-dimensional cookies are great favorites everywhere, but especially in Europe where women are artists at shaping dough. The dough for molded and pressed cookies is quite short (rich in butter and shortening). There are three basic ways to handle it: 1. Roll into chunky logs (a la refrigerator cookies), chill until firm, slice thin and bake. 2. Never fill a cookie press or pastry bag more than 1/2 to 2/3 full; the heat of your hands will make dough too soft. 3. Never try to press dough containing nuts or fruit - this will clog the press. 4. Always press dough on cool or cold sheets. Refrigerator cookies Most refrigerator cookie doughs are soft and butter-rich, much like molded or pressed doughs. Tips: 1. Always use sharp knife to slice cookies. 2. Slice thin, 1/8-1/4 inches as recipe states. 3. When slicing dough, remember to give roll a quarter turn every now and then so that it does not lose its round shape. 4. Refrigerator cookie dough freezes well and can be sliced and baked while still frozen. Bar cookies This is the fastest way to fill up the cookie jar! Bar cookies are made from a cake-like batter. Advantages of bar cookies are that they are quick to make and store well. Tips: 1. If batter is very rich or contains much fruit, grease and flour pans. 2. Always use pan size stated in recipe; an incorrect pan size can give bars an altogether different texture. 3. When placing batter in pan, spread evenly to corners. 4. Always let bars cool upright in their pan on wire rack a few minutes before cutting. 5. Use a very sharp knife for cutting bars, and if mixture is hard or sticky, dip knife in hot water. No-bake cookies These are an American invention and a good one. They require very little time, effort, or expertise, and when properly stored will keep longer than any other type of cookies. Many, especially those rich in fruit or flavored with liquor, will actually improve on standing.

Fresh citrus is a versatile and tasty Christmas season tradition , By HELEN W. SMITH Ranahaiinoek New* Contributing Writer Citrus fruits, with their unique aroma and appealing freshness, have played a leading role in holiday traditions for centuries. Navel oranges, especially, are popular additions to stockings “hung at the mantle with care” and, spiked with cloves, they’re festive decor. Fresh lemons are always a holiday favorite to add extra zest and sparkle — from the meal time water glass to specially prepared gifts “from the kitchen.” Shoppers will find good supplies of high quality lemons available, with the “best buys” in the medium size range. Ruby grapefruit, with its lovely pink blush, and tangerines round out the fresh citrus varieties for the holiday season. Fresh citrus facts When selecting citrus, look for smooth skins, free of blemishes and soft spots. Lift, don’t squeeze the fruit; it should feel firm and heavy. Citrus kept at room temperature will stay fresh for 10 days. Sealed in plastic bags and refrigerated, fruit will stay fresh for two to three weeks. Before grating the rind, wash and dry the fruit. Grate only the colored portion of the rind, avoiding the white pith, which is bitter. Citrus will yield more juice if it’s at room temperature. It also helps to roll the fruit on the countertop, pressing with the palm of your hand. If the fruit has come straight from the refrigerator, remove zest or peel, then place in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes. Or before slicing, heat a lemon or lime in the microwave 10 to 15 seconds on high power and an orange or grapefruit 20 to 30 seconds on high power. Time varies according to size. The following recipes are ways to enjoy fresh citrus over the holidays and winter months. Appetizer salad 2 medium grapefruits, peel, remove membrane from sections 1 large mild onion cut in thin slices and separated 1 pkg. lemon jello 1/2 c. hot water 3/4 c. cold water 2tb8. lemon juice French dressing Lettuce Dissolve jello in hot water, add cold water and lemon juice.

Huff, who passed away 5 years ago, December 19,1986. Beside your grave we some times stand and try so hard to understand why you had to go. The tears in our eyes we wipe away, but the pain in our heart is here to stay. We would give so much to hear your voice, We try to forget that tragic night that God called you home, A thousand times we've needed you, And a thousand times we've cried, But God gave us strength to fight our grief, But what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.

The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 30 YEARS AGO Decerriber 14, 1961 The Rappahannock Garden Club will have its annual Christmas Green Sale at the Washington Baptist Educational Building on Saturday, December 23, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Members of the club are asked to contribute door decorations, wreathes and arrangements suitable for the interior by 9:30 a.m. Mrs. George H. Davis Jr. is chairman of the Green Sale and she is assisted by Mrs. Thomas Rees. Orders are being accepted in advance and so far wreathes and cookies head the list. Flint Hill Fire Company has begun its annual series of winter dances. The first dance will be on Friday, Dec. 15 at the fire hall beginning at 9 p.m. The Rhythm Ramblers will furnish the music. Admission is $1.25 per person. A second dance will be held Dec. 29 and others will be announced at a later date. 20 YEARS AGO December 16, 1971 The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection presented a statement Monday before the State Corporation Commission hearing in Richmond in opposition to a rate increase application by the Virginia Telephone & Telegraph Company. With SCC approval, the least expensive 4-party rural service basic rate would jump $2.50 per month, nearly 50 percent. RLEP president, Philip Irwin, proposed and presented the opposing testimony which requested increased quantity of service rather than increased Child care grants offered The Commonwealth of Virginia has initiated a new scholarship program designed especially for child care providers. Twenty community colleges will offer, starting this fall, a “foundation course” in early childhood development. Child care providers who are working in a registered, licensed or approved setting are eligible to receive the award of a tuition grant for the course. Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown is among the participating colleges. Application forms are available from the Rappahannock Extension Office on Gay Street in Washington, Va., 675-3619 or contact Catherine Loveland at the Virginia Division on Children in Richmond, 804-662-9025.

Virginia Telephone and & Telegraph subscribers can call only slightly more than a thousand toll-free numbers compared to well over a million for the D.C. metropolitan area, he said. Miss Carter Moffett, daughter of Judge and Mrs. W.F. Moffett of Washington, was recently initiated into the Zeta Chapter of Pi Gamma Mu at Mary Washington College. Pi Gamma Mu is the National Social Science Honorary Fraternity, founded in 1924. Members are chosen from the social science disciplines of history, geography, sociology, political science and economics. Members must have completed a required number of hours in a Social Science with high academic achievement both in it and in general college work. 10 YEARS AGO December 17, 1981 In a recorded vote at the town council meeting of December 9, council members agreed to authorize the mayor and treasurer to borrow $6,000 from the Rappahannock National Bank in Washington. This authorization was necessary to pay the bills which the town incurred for the construction of the new town well, well-house, pumps and pipe to connect to the existing water system. “We are an unusual municipality in a way,” Mayor Newbill Miller told the council. There is a possibility that former Delegate D. French Slaughter Jr., of Culpeper may be interested in the U.S. Senate seat to be vacated by Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. Slaughter represented Rappahannock, Culpeper, Orange and Madison in the Virginia House of Delegates for twenty years, first as a Democrat, then Independent. He is now a Republican. According to his office in Culpeper he is interested, but has made no decisions nor plans at this time. COMPLETE Local News May the light of peace shine around the world.
