SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The Washington Architectural Review Board approved two minor requests last Wednesday night, but only after commenting at length about the Town Council’s decision on light fixtures. Speaking for Ki Theatre, Richard Abell asked permission to install a small bulletin board on the front of the building on Gay street. He presented a working drawing of a 20” by 31", glass-fronted board. His request was quickly approved. “It is nice to have a bureaucracy that moves quickly and efficiently,” Abell added. “We try hard to do just that," responded ARB chairman Donna Kevis. Christopher Goodine, who owns a small jewelry shop on Main Street, sought permission to mount a brass lamp on a pole in front of his shop. His request generated much more comment from the four members present than did Ki Theatre’s. (Street lighting is somewhat more controversal in town right now than bulletin boards.) Goodine brought the lamp with him. The lamp itself is about two feet tall with a frosted globe and is reminiscent of old gas fixtures. Goodine proposed to mount it so that the top of the lamp would be eight feet above the street and have a bulb not to exceed 300 watts. Board members objected#!) both the height, too low, and the bulb, too bright. They finally approved his request after amending it to reduce the wattage to 200 and approving a height range from eight to ten feet. The board also asked him to try to match as best he can the bulb color See ARB, Page A-6 Staff Photo by Scan Kilpatrick Bystanders wait for the wrecker after this truck-tractor accident on U.S. 211. Library panel spends building fund By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Library Board authorized buying a copier and adding to sidewalk. These expenses will use the money remaining in the building fund. The board decided to let librarian Nicki Lynch try out two copiers she had bids on, one made by Cannon that costs $1,995 and one made by Sharp that costs?. $2,225, and decide which one to buy:. . They also told buiWingr • coordinator * Roberta Anderson to go ahead and have an additional 12 feet added to the sidewalk by the handicapped parking and to replace the section of sidewalk with a curb cutout as long as the cost does not exceed $1,152. Before the board’s meeting Monday, $3,288 remained in the building fund. $4,000 had been spent for additional work on the driveway, $1,487 for a water treatment system to Stet rid of serious discoloration caused by metal fin the water," $470 fojr tables and chairs f(ir the meeting $795 for a cabinet to display a set of books on the Civil War, $435 for book ends, $309 for a book trolley, and $339 for a bulletin board in the children’s room.

SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Wrtter A tractor-trailer truck smashed into a farm tractor on U.S. 211 Friday afternoon. The violent crash severely injured Samuel Brian Finney who was driving the John Deere tractor. The accident closed one lane of the West bound traffic for hours following the 2:15 p.m. collision. Finney, 31, of Rixeyville, was taken to Fauquier Hospital and airlifted from there to Fairfax Hospital. He was in the Intensive Care Unit Monday afternoon, and his condition had been upgraded to serious, according to a hospital representative. Finney was driving a 1986 John Deere tractor (model 2640A) westbound on the four-lane highway, towing a large, round hay baler. The baler and tractor were struck from behind by a 1983 International truck towing an empty flatbed trailer. Both vehicles were in the right-hand lane. The accident occurred about one half mile east of Route 640. The International truck was driven by Fred Luther Dillon Sr., 52, of Middletown. The vehicle is owned by Duncan Trans.Co. of Riverton, near Front Royal. The farm tractor was hurled onto the shoulder where it landed upside down. Ag districts reapproved by planners By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Nt»i Staff Writar The Rappahannock Planning Commission approved renewals for two agricultural and fores tal districts last week, and also approved “tag ons” for properties owned by Louise and Thomas Eastham to two other ag districts. The 2,128-acre Krebser Agricultural and Forestal District was approved for renewal for an additional 10 years. All landowners who had been participating in the district chose to continue. Also Werner Krebser requested that three additional parcels be added to the district, and those additions of 23.2, 23.2 and 34.9 acres were approved for inclusion. The 1,960-acre Haskell Agricultural and Forestal District was also approved for a 10-year renewal. All participating property owners chose to remain in the district. In addition the Easthams requested that the 2,497.5-acre Ben Venue Farm and an additional 116.836 acres owned separately be added to the Mulkey Mountain Agricultural and Forestal District and that a 296.1-acre parcel and a 31.3-acre parcel be added to the East Wakefield Agricultural and Forestal District. These additional were also approved by the planners. An agricultural and forestal district is a special zoning classification that helps protect farm land by severely restricting what can be done with it. The land in these districts may not be subdivided into small tracts, and the highway department can not cut a new road without enormous trouble. Once land has been included in an ag. district, the zoning classsification is frozen until the term is up. The normal term limit is 10 years. County Administrator John McCarthy agreed noting that no new agricultural and forestal districts have been created in the past nine years. “This is the only way this program grows,” he said. Burkes earn approval lor addition to home By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Wilma and James Burke won approval to build an addition to their Sunnyslope Home for Adults at the Planning Commission last Wednesday night. Mrs. Burke said she wanted to add five bedrooms, a kitchen and dining room to the west side of the building, bringing the total capacity to 19 residents. One of the existing bedrooms will be used as a game room and the existing kitchen will become a recreation and refreshment area. The addition also will include two full bathrooms and one half bath. There will be a porch wrapping around the addition. Mrs. Burke said she has had to turn down requests from people who want to move to Sunnyslope. She said she had wanted to build more rooms to begin with but thought she was limited to the capacity of the house she converted. , ■/' Sid Gottlieb, who represents the Board of Zoning Appeals on the Planning Commission, said he was glad such ft ft* cility is available. “I might need it,” he said. At that poiftt Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Sharon Pierce asked Mrs. Burke if there would be room for square dancing. Mrs. Burke said she could move tables and chain out of the dining room to free up apace. Mr. Gottlieb’s motion to recommend approval passed unanimously. The planners also recommended approval for a special exception so the heirs of Henry Cook to subdivide a 14.5-acre Kel from Mr. Cook’s 140 acre piece for i A. Fudd’s share of the estate. l(r. Fudd owns a small lot adjoining the 14.5 acre parcel, and the access to 14.5-acre parcel will be through that IK 'Hie special exception is required because the lot la smaller than 25 acres. In approving the subdivision the planners specified that a plat or deed to the remaining land specify that the allowed density is reduced because of the subdivision. The remaining property could contain no more than four lots. Robert Dennis spoke in favor of the subdivision. “My feeling is this is exactly the way the county ought to deal with this issue," he add. “The density requirements are enforced. I applaud both the county and the Cook estate for working this out." County Administrator John McCarthy told the planners that the building code has been changed and now facilities offering more than three rooms for transient rental have to meet institutional requirements for plumbing and lighting. He said he mentioned the change because the county allows special use permits for operating bed and breakfast businesses for up to five rooms. He asked the planners if they felt the zoning ordinance should be changed to limit bed and breakfast businesses to no more than three rental rooms. He noted that when applicants have to make alterations that require a building permit they will have to meet the new requirements if they offer more than three rooms for overnight guests, but those applicants who don’t need to make alterations to an existing house would not be required to meet this code.

Shepherds return Rappahannock News photo courtesy of Ki Theatre The three shepherds from the Shepherds’ Play strike a pose during rehearsal for the upcoming Nativity Drama, which is part of Washington’s Colonial Christmas Celebration.

The play will be performed at Ki Theatre on Dec. 5 at 5 and 8 p.m. and on Dec. 6 at 5 and 7 p.m. Christmas tree pest not found here Virginia-grown Christmas trees are not among those affected by infestations of the pine shoot beetle which have occurred in northern states. Northern states in which the insect infestations have occurred include Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The United States Department of Agriculture has imposed a quarantine banning out-of-state shipment of Christmas trees from infested counties in those states. “At this point Virginia is considered free of the pine shoot beetle. There has been, at this point, a limited survey by Virginia Tech, and no pine shoot beetles were found,” said W. Phil Eggbom, program manager in the Office of Plant Protection with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “We will be able to protect our Christmas tree crop by following the normal procedures for controlling pests and keeping our crop healthy. “The quarantines imposed on those infested counties in the northern states, along with our own growing practices, will help ensure that Virginia Christmas trees remain free of this insect, and that the consumer will continue getting the freshest tree possible by buying a tree grown right here in Virginia.” “Generally, the threat to the Virginia Christmas tree industry is minimal,” agreed Eggbom. “We’re more concerned about large stands of loblolly and white pine grown for the timber industry. The concern here is that the beetle could find its way to forests grown for pulp and sawlogs. And Virginia is on the border for both of these kinds of evergreen timber. “But it’s important to keep this in perspective,” continued Eggborn. “The pine shoot beetle is no gypsy moth. It’s a pest. But it really won’t affect consumers, and we expect it to have very little economic impact overall,” said Eggbom.

Six jurors charged for missing court Six men and women faced contempt of court charges last Friday in Rappahannock County Circuit Court for failure to appear for jury duty. Judge Paul Brown, speaking quietly and deliberately, explained to the group the importance of answering a summons for jury duty. The six had been part of a 30-member jury panel called to hear charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny against James P. Walters on Oct. 19. After striking off the panel those who could not serve for one reason or another, exactly enough remained for the trial to proceed, Judge Brown said. If one more person had not been able to serve, the trial would have been postponed, he added. After talking to the six as a group, Judge Brown asked them to come forward individually to explain why they had missed the trial. The Judge listened patiently to each excuse and then dismissed contempt charges against one woman, Rhonda L. Brown of Amissville. She Among the most solid banks in America.

The other five persons were all convicted of contempt of court and fined. Albert Gilbert Gray of Chester " Gap was fined $40, suspended on condition of good behavior for one year. Campbell Turner “Buster” Hitt of Woodville was fined $40 as was Linda Billings Kiser of Slate Mills. Jackson N. Miller, Jr., who maintains a Washington address, and Jerry Lee Mills of Estes were each fined $50. After dealing with the tardy jurors, Judge Brown heard a motion from Attorney John P. Morgan to set aside Walter’s conviction last month. After hearing Morgan’s argument and a rebuttal from Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, Judge Brown ruled the jury verdict would stand. The jury had found Walters guilty of both grand larceny and breaking and entering, and had sentenced him to three years in prison on each count. In other action the judge accepted an Alford Plea from Jimmy Wayne Nicholson of Woodville to charges of possessing cocaine and marijuana. Sentencing has been delayed until March 8, 1993 and Nicholson is free on bail. An Alford Plea is an agreement by the defendent that the Commonwealth has enough evidence to gain a conviction, but in making this plea he does not offer any admission of guilt.

Smokey the Bear pays visit By DEBBIE MASSIE Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer October was filled with bear and fire poems, songs, creative stories, and books as the RCES first graders concluded their October whole language studies. Smokey the Bear’s visit spurred interest in both unit topics. Game Warden Jim Bankston added interest by telling humorous stories of local bear adventures. The moral of each story had to do with safety tips pertaining to wild animals. The students were “beary” interested. Smokey the Bear’s message, “Help prevent Forest Fires,” led the first graders into their fire safety unit. Chester Gap’s fire chief, Todd Brown, shared a “real” fire engine with the classes. He showed all the parts of the truck, sprayed water from hose, and, most popular, blew the siren. Fireman Art Smith directed a role play showing safe methods to use when escaping from a burning building, and other safety tips. The students got really “fired” up during his visit. The first graders are now looking forward to a Harvest Hullabaloo in November. Mrs. Betty Ebom’s second grade class is busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. “We made two Indian villages. The day before Thanksgiving we will have a Thanksgiving feast. We made cups and canoes out of clay and painted them. We made teepees and totem poles out of paper. We made Indians out of clay,” said class-members Cori Alexander, Katie Reynolds, Zach Bridgman, and Tony Starks. Farmers see the future RICHMOND — The Virginia Farm Bureau Federation’s 1992 Annual Convention will center around the idea that futuristic agriculture has already arrived in the Old Dominion. From exotic herbs to hemoglobin in tobacco plants, “we’re looking at perhaps the reinvention of agriculture,” said Dr. G. Terry Sharrer, agriculture curator for the Smithsonian Institution, who is the keynote speaker during Commodity Appreciation Day, Nov. 30. The Commodity Appreciation Day luncheon at the Richmond Marriott kicks off this year’s convention, which runs through Dec. 3. During Sharrer’s talk, “Health in the Evolution of Farming,” he Will focus on how scientific discoveries in plant, animal and human health created “modem” agriculture a century ago and how they are recreating agriculture today. Following Sharrers talk will be two panel discussions: “Opportunities in Non-Traditional Crops and Livestock” and “Will the Public Accept Genetically-Engineered Crops and Livestock?” “Farm Bureau members should be informed about these futuristic things because people look to Farm Bureau members as leaders in the agricultural field,” says Spencer Neale Jr., assistant director of VFBF’s Commodity Marketing Department.

Wade, superintendent of Shenandoah National Park, has been honored by his peers. He was awarded the Stephen Tyng Mather Award by the National Parks and ConservationAssociation (NPCA). It is the ninth time the organization has made this award, which is named for the first director of the National Parks Service. The award, made at the association’s annual meeting in Spokane, Washington, was given to Wade by the Association of National Park Rangers. The annual award is given to an employee of the Park Service who has placed commitment and principle ahead of self-preservation. Wade was selected because of his courage and leadership on two key issues facing Shenandoah National Park: air pollution and development of adjacent lands to the park. Shenandoah National Park has a critical and longstanding air pollution problem that is affecting visibility and the health of the forest ecosystem. In 1990, the threat exploded when plans to construct more than 25 new power plants in Virginia were announced. Wade challenged the issuance of permits for the first several power plants, first at the state level and later at the upper reaches of the Administration. Eventually, he appealed a state decision for the construction of one plant to the EPA over the objections of his superiors at the Department of Interior and the Administration, an action that led to a formal reprimand. Industry and other vested interests had applied intense political pressure to approve the plants all } COUNTRY FOLK ART® !

Wade’s actions placed him and his job at severe risk. “Bill has kept his job because he developed strong public support," says NPCA president Paul Pritchard.

The amounts that qualify as taxfree include payments that cover en rollment tuition or fees and courserelated expenses for books, fees, supplies and equipment. Any other amounts, such as for room, board, travel or incidental expenses, must be reported as income for the year received. Many scholarship and fellowship grants also include pay for past, present or future services. Any payment received for services is taxable for the year of receipt, even if the service is required of all candidates for a particular degree. Students who are not candidates for a degree must report all scholarship and fellowship amounts as income for the year received.

Vintners taste the difference BLACKSBURG - Wine has made headlines lately, most recently with the news that the United , States has proposed placing stiff tariffs on white wine imported from Europe. Many fine restaurants in this country went into a tizzy, and some are stockpiling French whites before the tariffs go into effect. Which prompts the question - Are French white wines all that different from Virginia whites? To hear David Morrisette tell it, they’re really not. “We can produce a white wine that is very, very similar to that of Europe. ” Of course, Morrisette, the business manager of Chateau Morrisette winery in Meadows of Dan, has a vested interest in seeing to it that connoisseurs everywhere take a liking to Virginia wine, particularly that made at Chateau Morrisette. There are some differences between New World and Old World wines. Bruce Zoecklein, a Virginia Cooperative Extension enologist (wine chemistry expert) at Virginia Tech, said grapes grown in different regions produce wine that tastes difference because of their “terroir.” A wine grape’s terroir is determined by the climate and soil conditions under which it was grown. The age of the grapevine also is a factor. “A winemaker in Virginia can use the same grapes and the same processing method as a French winemaker, and they’ll produce different wines due to the unique terroir of each,” said Zoecklein. Virginia winemakers hope consumers will soon come to appreciate those subtle differences. Zoecklein said though Thomas Jefferson is considered the first Virginia winemaker, the modern Virginia wine industry has been around less than 20 years. Zoecklein noted that Virginia wines have come a long way in that short time, and today win international competitions. But the prospect of tariffs on French whites doesn’t have state wine marketers doing backflips.

The Aud»t Burr«tu WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1992 SperryvTIle's bypass In his letter to the editor last week Scott McBride of Sperry ville raised some interesting questions about the need for and ultimate fate of a bypass around Sperryville. Only one organization working in Virginia has a longer * memory and a greater love for construction projects than the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation (VDOT), and that is the infamous Army Corps of Engineers. Somewhere, somehow, the concept of a Sperryville bypass has been entered into the data banks of VDOT. Wishing alone will not make it disappear. Highway traffic counts clearly show that more and more vehicles are using Va. 231 and U.S. 522. In 1990 nearly 4,000 vehicles per day were driving past Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church in Sperryville. Much of that traffic is commuter and truck traffic traveling north -south through the county. From VDOT’s perspective that traffic is clogging the center of Sperryville, especially the intersection at the Corner Store. VDOT would like to carry that traffic around Sperryville. The department’s first plan for such a bypass would have cut the town in twro. It was a bad piece of work. When Supervisor Charles K. “Pete” Estes polled the residents of Sperryville, he found opinion on the bypass to be divided more or less equally for and against the proposal. As a result he asked VDOT to drop the proposal. Sometime this decade the residents of Sperryville can expect VDOT to return with another plan for this bypass.The idea is not going to go away. Whether or not Sperryville should be bypassed is really a separate question. Unlike Washington, which was bypassed more than 20 years ago, Sperryville already is a destination, a stopping point for tourists. Before Washington was bypassed, that was not the case. At that time Washington was a quiet little town with a right-angle curve in the middle. The vast majority of traffic was headed for Sperryville’s apple stands and the Skyline Drive. Washington was an aggravation, someplace to get through, not a place to stop and visit. Today Washington has more tourists who stay longer and spend more money than before the bypass was built. That bypass lets traffic pours down U.S. 211 on the weekends, headed directly for That Sperryville Emporium and the fruit stands that line the highway on the way to the Skyline Drive. People, lots of people, already want to come to Sperryville. A bypass that carries U.S. 522 traffic around the town will not affect the westbound river of tourists. It is coming through regardless. Like the cat that wouldn’t go away in the old folk song, Sperryville’s proposed bypass will keep coming back. Those residents of Sperryville who wish to oppose it should stay vigilant. VDOT wants to move the north bound trucks and commuters away from the center of town. They’ll be back. WITH SO MUCH UNEMPLOYMENT THIS IS A BAD TIME TO BE A W, Mb' Hunting for the Thanksgiving Turkey Rappahannock Heritage This old, two-row corn picker waits for a sunny day Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan and a dry field as the corn stands tall near Huntly. , , .. . • . •- ■ ■ ■ ' . .elters to m Mrs. Eagle reassures the Town I sure am sorry to have missed that last town meeting. Please hasten to reassure Mr. Gooch that I really did replace the tree I cut down (claimed by the town) which I thought was on my property according to my deed. I bought a Kwansan cherry and Mr. Presgrave planted it for me. Just as I was looking forward to seeing it bloom this last spring, somebody working for the town girdled it was a weed cutter. So in the annals of the Tree Cutting Trouble, the score seems to be tied. So for Wheeler Street, I have always understood that the approval of the plat by the town did not operate to convey an interest in Wheeler St. to me. Last week, my attorney requested that the zoning administrator note the condition pertaining to the approval of my plat by the town council so that my attorney can arrange to have my amended plat recorded. Believe me, the last thing I want is for the town of Washington to start making me fix the potholes. FREDETTE EAGLE McLean Another reader supports Day In a recent publication of the Rappahannock News there was a Letter to the Editor from Charles Francis negatively critiquing Walter Day’s delightful column, “Day by Day.” Mr. Francis must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed the day he wrote that letter or perhaps he hasn’t been in the county long enough to appreciate the Rappahannock News. In my opinion, the day theRappahannock News starts to look and sound like all those other so-called literate newspapers that I subscribe to, then that is the day I will stop reading it. Who cares if some of the columnists forget where the punctuation goes or misspells a word or two? I believe in letting things flow in a natural way, whether it be in writing or making “Whoopee.” I moved here many years ago from Fairfax County to get away from stuffed shirts and pretentious lifestyles. Gee, I certainly dread the day when we can’t tell Rappahannock from Fairfax. PEGGY E.

JAMIE ALIPERTI Managing Attorney Culpeper Players lauded for Mice, Men For brevity’s sake, I will not express my very real enthusiasm for the play “Of Mice and Men” to which I went reluctantly having read and been depressed by it many years ago. Kudos, however to Howard Coon and the cast which he assembled each of Whom performed brilliantly. . Thank you, Howard. On another front, sometimes one persons sense of humor can be anothers affront - and so it was/is with the comment next to my name in the RLEP quarterly newsletter received by the RLEP membership this week. Perhaps they meant to say “oldest.” Whatever was the intent, I dare say many/most/almost all Realtors, qualify for that definition. MITZIE YOUNG Washington (Editor'8 note: Last week Donna Salerno wrote to thank the Castletori and Speiryville Rescue Squads. She singled out for praise Chris Payne. Chris is a member of the Sperry mile Squad.) The time machine From the Rappahannock News back when: 30 YEARS AGO November 29, 1962 The November meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Washington, after routine business, was devoted to consideration of a revised street lighting plan as proposed by the Northern Virginia Power Company. The plan was explained by C.R. Suddith, technical sales representative, and Sidney Thompson, local representative for Northern Virginia Power. They prepared individual maps and cost sheets for each council member, showing existing street lights and proposed changes. After thorough perusal and three hours consideration, the council decided to replace the 1000L fixtures with 2500L along U.S. Rte. 211 and at each street corner and entrance to the town. The difference in the light bill will be roughly $13 per month and the change should be completed by January 1st. Robert L. Brown, Treasurer of Rappahannock County, reminds residents that Wednesday, December 5,1962 is the last day to pay your personal property, real estate and capitation taxes in order to avoid paying a penalty of 5 percent. Any tax remittance mailed must be postmarked by December 5th or penalty will be added. Woman’s Missionary Union Week of Prayer for Foreign Missions begins December 3-7. Friday, December 7 is Baptist Women’s Day of Prayer around the world. Washington Baptist Chuurch will be open each day, Monday through Friday at 2 p.m. You are invited to participate in this mission. Theme for the week is “God’s Gift - The Light of the World.” 20 YEARS AGO November 30,1972 Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection will hold a program meeting at 8 p.m. Friday, December 8, at the Sperryville Fire Hall on Route 211, just west of Sperryville. Featured will be the showing of a 40-minute fdm produced by the Civic Trust of the Northwest, an English planning and environmental educational organization. Entitled “A Future for the Past,” the film documents efforts in England to control development to the extent that “visual order” is enhanced, not destroyed, and to encourage the rehabilitation and utilization of historic buildings and grounds. A discussion period will follow the showing of the film. Everyone is invited regardless of RLEP membership. It’s been a good year for ducks in Rappahannock County if precipitation has any thing to do with it. According to statistics reported from the official weather station in Washington, Va., to date, 1972 has been the wettest year since records have been kept (1945). Through November the year’s total stands at 46.11 inches. The second largest amount for an 11 month period was in 1948 when rainfall measured 42.47 inches. Highest individual month in 1972 was June with 7.68 inches recorded. The highest single month recorded since the weather station was established in 1945 was August of 1967 with 9.80 measured. The annual Madison County fox drag race was held last Saturday on the farm of Lawton Blankenbaker in Madison ‘ County. After the race, the horn blowing contests were held for both junior and senior classes. Little Randy Smith of Amissville was the winner of the junior competition. Young Randy blew some strong notes that rivalled the lungs of the more experienced hornmen. 10 YEARS AGO December 2, 1982 John Jackson will bring the music he’s performed at the! White House, Wolf Trap andaround the world back to Rappa-' hannock County on December 17' for a concert in the old Gay-' Street Theater.

►ARB From Page A-l of whatever lights the town finally installs on the streets. Although Goodine’s application specified a steel pole, painted black, the ARB gave him permission to use a copper pole if he chooses. It can be painted black or left unpainted. The Board voted to meet next on Jan. 21, 1993, unless a critical need arises for a December meeting. Before hearing the two requests before them, members of the ARB commented on the Town Council’s recent vote to approve a new fixture for street lighting. “Why did they go through this charade,” asked Ed Barton. “Why did they put us through as much work as they did if they were going to ignore our recommendation,W/* he continued. Farmers offered course BLACKSBURG - Virginia Tech agricultural economists, in conjunction with NationsBank and Cooperative Extension farm management agents, will be holding a series of workshops around the state in January on “Using Computers to Manage the Modem Farm.” Gordon Groover, agricultural economist, said the programs are intended for agricultural producers who are considering or have recently purchased a micro-computer. The program will provide farmers with the basic knowledge of micro-computers and software that are relevant to agricultural businesses. Groover said the free workshops would benefit any producer who is interested in using computers to cut costs and management time, to provide information for credit approvals, or to keep pesticide records. The program will include computer needs of farm businesses, how to purchase software and hardware, how to understand computer jargon, how to decipher advertisements as well as basic computer skills. There also will be demonstrations on farm record keeping, farm management decision aids, and programs for field and pesticide record programs. The first workshop will be held Jan. 12, 1993, at the P.D. Pruden VoTech Center in Suffolk. The next day, Jan. 13, the workshop will be in Harrisonburg at the Sheraton Inn. On Jan. 14, Lynchburg will be the workshop site, at the Holiday Inn on Oddfellow Road. The final workshop will be held on Jan. 15, at the Southwest Virginia 4-H Center on Route 609 north of Abingdon. The workshops are free but preregistration is required. For additional information call Gordon Groover at 703-231-7727 or Jim Pease 703231-7722 in Virginia Tech’s Department of Agricultural Economics.

For Democrats the plus side is that they have swept three consecutive statewide elections, their prospective nominee Mary Sue Terry has no opposition for the nod and running for attorney general was the state’s top vote getter both in 1985 and 1989. And Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton did fairly well in Virginia while Democrats expanded their congressional seat lead to 7-4. The minuses are the increasingly bitter words between Gov. Douglas Wilder and Ms. Terry'about the w ay the Wilder administration has handled the Virginia Retirement System, particularly its real estate branch, RF&P Corporation, as w-ell as Wilder’s flat popularity ratings, impressive Republican gains in state legislative seats in recent years and, perhaps, some growing public perception that it may be time to change the executive branch back from Democratic to Republican hands. Some of the Democratic minuses are Republican pluses, of course, and the GOP may also have going for it a Terry 8-year record as attorney general that can be strongly ehal Virginia Through Both Barrels lenged in some areas, including her handling of a bitter union strike in southwestern coal mining country. But Republicans have problems of their own, not the least of them pointed up recently by new party chairman Patrick McSweenev when he pleaded with the party’s three contestants for governor to restrain their attacks on each other so that the eventual nominee won’t have the words of fellow Republicans coming back to haunt him when they emanate from the mouth of Ms. Terry and supporters. McSweeney and party leaders must also seek some accomodation between the party's right win, composed largely of fundamentalists, and more pragmatic Republicans who often scrap harder between themselves than they do with Democrats. This schism will prove extremely difficult to close and could divide the party in a year when it will need maximum unity to win. * The media may be overstating? possible damage resulting to Ms.< Terry from Wilder’s angry reaction! to her investigation of VRS andj RF&P. By giving the impression of' acting to protect the pension fund of« state employees she may not only, win over some state workers whoj hold the Wilder administration inj disfavor because it has given them* no raises in three years, but also* help distance herself from Wilder? who has suffered a series of political? setbacks, most memorably the failed* deal to put the Washington Redskins on an Alexandria site owned by! RF&P Corporation. ! Since Virginia governors can’tj succeed themselves, they become lame ducks by the time they reach their fourth year in office and next? winter’s General Assembly session * though still controlled by Demoj crats, may not be particularly kincf to the governor. After all, some of the key legislative leaders of his owii party care little for Wilder an<? would like nothing better than t<J rough him up a bit as repayment fo* bruises he inflicted on them in the past. * Editor's note: John Goolrick, <\ former political reporter, is now an aide to U.S. Rep.

At the state meet in Charlottesville earlier this month, Strasburg won the state title, Central was third and Stonewall was fourth. Coach Tim Corder said he is losing only two seniors from this year’s squad: Chris Payne and Randy Earley. Besides Payne and Earley, the team has been ably supported by mark Jenkins and Mike Wolfe, both freshmen; by Shane Lambert, a sophomore and by foreign exchange students Juergin Venema and Pepe Leal. Another bright spot on the cross country scene has been Sari Pellinen, the first woman harrier Corder has coached. Running alone against entire teams of women all season, Pellinen managed nine firsts in her ten meets. Corder took time last week to of fer special praise to Mark Jenkin’s family for providing new uniforms and warmup suits. “It’s the first new uniforms we have had in years," he said. He also had special thanks for the Bleu Rock Inn across the street from the high school. “They opened up a course for us around the edge of the vineyards,” he said. “They even put in an extra gate so we can go directlyto and from the course without having to wander around the parking lot,” he added. The 3.05 mile course certainly provides some of the prettiest vistas to be found on a cross country course, he added. “The course is so nice that I tried to get the 1993 District meet here, but I was too late,” Corder said.“I’m still trying to get the district meet here in 1994,” he added.

Students conduct 'Smokeout' S.A.D.D. picks up challenge By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Students AgainstDrunk Driving have branched out at Rappahannock County High School. Last week they conducted a local version of the Great American Smokeout, sponsored by the American Cancer Society. The smokeout program encourages smokers to give up the addiction. The high schools smokeout program began with an adoption center, which opened at 8 a.m., according to Donna Salerno, an R. C.H.S. teacher and faculty advisor to S. A.D.D. At the adoption center a nonsmoker “adopted” a smoking student for the day in order to encourage the smoker to quit for at least 24 hours. The participants were given candy, gum and lots of encouragement to make it through the day without smoking. One tangible reward for not smoking was a McDonald’s coupon good for one free meal, said Salerno. In all, 50 students participated in the program, she said; 25 non-smokers paired up with 25 smokers and all of them reached their goal: none smoked for the 24 hours.

Framer puts her business on road By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Donna Sylvester had an established business in Warrenton working as a custom framer and selling art works and artists’ supplies when she decided to close her store front and take her business on the road so she could work from her home in Rappahannock. So Picture This became a mobile custom framing and art service. “My customers are ecstatic,” she said. Some had been asking her to come out to their homes or businesses, “but I couldn’t do that and run a store front also.” “It’s easier to design a frame when you’re standing where the picture will hang,” she said. She started Picture This in 1984. In 1990 she had a home built near Castleton, and this October she took her business on the road. “I’m still moving out of the store,” she said. In Warrenton she carried supplies for artists. “I will still special order for regular customers,” she said, “but I won’t stock artists’ supplies in my business.” The store front kept her pretty busy, and it meant that she was frequently working late in the building after business hours \ and leaving late at night for home. “I was beginning to be concerned about the crime scene in Warrenton,” she said. She wasn’t getting enough time in her custom built solar home, time to play with her beloved bloodhounds, cats and horses. Besides a large selection of frame styles and matting supplies, she carries a large selection of art works, posters and prints, including limited edition prints. Her customers include Warrenton banks and other businesses as well as private clients. She also works for professional artists, framing their work before it is displayed. She is able to put artists in touch with potential customers. “I like to promote these artists,” she said. Part of her work has been learning to preserve art. A member of the Professional Picture Framers Association, she attends workshops and conferences to keep up with improvements in the business. “In the past 10 years, framing has changed a lot,” she said. “In the past 20 years it has changed tremendously.” She noted that wood contains lignum, an acid, which can damage both paper and canvas. There are pH neutral materials that can be used to line the frame so it doesn’t touch the art work, she said. Part of her work is “museum quality” framing. She once framed a letter from Robert E. Lee that had begun to deteriorate because of the wood it was fastened to. The slowdown in the economy has hurt her business. Although she admits picture frames are luxury items compared to food and shelter, she said, “There are still people with disposable income who continue to spend money on small luxuries.” She carries moldings that range in price from $3.50 per foot to $150 per foot, including fine hand made frames. “It’s not the boom times of the 80s, but it’s not dismal either,” she said. “I believe in giving customers an honest quality job for the best price possible,” she said. She believes her mobile business is part of offering “quality service.” She is fixing up a workshop in the basement and really enjoying being able to spend more time in Rappahannock. She enjoys the rural beauty, and she has many friends in the county. She also obviously enjoys her work. “So many beautiful things have come into my hands,” she said.

New Setting When the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving celebration, it wasn’t a new idea. The idea was as old as people’s awareness of their dependence on God. But, it was a new setting. A group of people far from home, barely settled on a strange shore, surrounded by dangers real and imagined, facing their first New England winter. A remarkable time and place to say “thank you God.” Whenever earnest men and women pause to express gratitude to God, it's an old idea. But the setting is always new. For whatever we are, whatever the circumstances surrounding our lives, our faith reaches to the Almighty ... realizing anew His power, His love. Take time this week to say “thank you God.” Worship with your family and friends and remember that first Thanksgiving celebration. CopjrrtBW 1992. Keister-Williams Newspaper Services, P O Box 8005.

Local students working at 2 businesses By TINA DUNN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer This year, for the first time, Rappahannock High is working with local area businesses to help students with special needs transition into the working world. The Faith Mountain Company is working with Lisa Wines and Peggy Gallihugh, and the Rappahannock Fanners Cooperative is working with Thomas Brown. Since September Lisa and Peggy have been part of Faith Mountain’s 15 person warehouse department working at packing stations, stocking merchandise and preparing orders for shipment. Thomas has been part «f the Co-ops’ warehouse team helping to load and unload trucks and to keep the warehouse neat and safe for all employees and patrons. This work/study approach is called the Community Based Transition Program and is designed to help integrate students into the world of work. The two teachers who are implementing the program and are working with these students are Mike Tupper and Andra Logan. Tupper contacted the businesses last year, and was pleased by the receptiveness and support for the program. The program, which is designed to ease the student into the workplace, is made up of several phases of training. The first phase of the program is a mini workshop held in the classroom, which concentrates on attitudes, behavior and working relationships. The workshop gives the student some idea of what to expect in the working environment, and some exposure to workplace expectations. After the workshop, the students go on-site to the businesses for a period of observation. They study the other workers, the tasks they will be performing and begin establishing relationships with their colleagues. In class, after observation, they practice their assigned tasks to build their skills and to get up to speed before going on the job. TTien the students go off to work. They spend one period a day at their jobs and then return to school to share their experiences with their classmates. “Lisa, Peggy and Thomas are looked up to by the other students because they are the first to be employed,” said Logan. “This program has made such a huge difference that I can already see a change in them. They seem much more self confident.” “I am extremely excited about the program,” said Tupper. “I firmly believe that this program will help prepare these young adults for the real world.” The students with special needs who are not yet eligible for employment are producing items for sale in 4-H Camp for Cloverbuds Youth can develop an appreciation for wildlife through an exciting indoor camping experience where they will enjoy classes on nature, wildlife, cooking, crafts, and performing arts. Special events related to wildlife are planned throughout the three day camp. Parents may participate with their child in the Cloverbud Camp which will be held Jan. 29-31 at the 4-H Center located in Front Royal. The cost of the camp is $45 which includes meals and lodging. Adult volunteers are being recruited and may attend at a reduced rate. For more information contact Helen Smith with the Rappahannock County Extension Service at 6.75-3619. the community. They are making bows for the holidays, stuffing envelopes for Faith Mountain and are cuiTently trying to purchase an imprinting maching for napkins, pencils, business cards and letterhead. The students take particular pride in producing these items since all of the money generated goes right back into the program. Betty Walter, Faith Mountain’s Warehouse Manager, said “It’s great helping these kids build their skills and to become self-reliant and independent. This is what life is ail about - helping other people.” “We have to get them ready, and with the help of the community we can,” said Logan. “We want them to lead happy, productive lives. What more could you as for anybody?” “Thomas is a good worker," said Gordon Thornhill, Manager of the Co-op. “He is a motivated individual with a positive attitude. We are glad to have Thomas and to be participating in this very worthwhile program.” “We feel that the local business community should do everything possible to support this program, and are pleased to be one of the first businesses to help,” said Cheri Woodard, President of The Faith Mountain Company. Although three students are already working in the Community Based Transition Program, there are more students who are eligible for placement at local businesses. “I like it at work. They all treat me nice.” Lisa Wines. “It makes me feel happy to have a job.” Peggy Gallihugh. “I like the job experience and meeting the people.” Thomas Brown. Library Series continues In the early part of this century, more than 450 families lived in the area we know today as Shenandoah National Park. With the creation of the Park in the 1920’s, these families were forced to move, leaving behind homesites they had occupied for generations. On Dec. 4, the Rappahannock Library’s First Friday Series presents “Down From the Mountains," a program that will examine the lives of these mountain people before and after the coming of the Park. Kathy Knuepfer of the Rappahannock Historical Society will provide a brief history of life in the mountains around the time of the Park’s creation. She will be followed by two men who grew up in the mountains and lived through relocation: native son David Marshall Dwyer, who lived on the mountain as a youth, and Gilbert Berry, who was brought up on the Hazel and moved down in 1920. “Down From the Mountains" should prove to be both an educational and emotional program of great interest to all who live in this area and have wondered what it was like to live along the Blue Ridge in the early part of this century, and what happened to families forced to leave their homes to make way for Shenandoah National Park. The program begins at 8 p.m. Dec. 4 in the Library’s meeting room. A reception with refreshments will follow. Admission is free. Call the Library at 675-3780 for more information. It's a girl!

The Virginia Tech Office of Consumer Horticulture compiled more than 1,200 excerpts from the newsletter that is sent out each month by Cooperative Extension specialist Diane Relf. “Notes” are printed on recycled paper and include reprints of antique gardening illustrations. They are spiral bound with dividers for the four seasons. Each season also is divided into categories, such as vegetables, herbs, indoor plants, and landscaping. Volume I, said Ms. Relf, gives information for a full year. “We had so much information left over,” she said, “that when we finished putting it together, we found that we had enough for another year.” What kind of information is in “Notes?” In December’s Woody Ornamental section, you are told to “trim hollies and other evergreens, such as magnolia, aucuba, boxwood, and pyracantha, to furnish material for holiday decorations.” The Herbs section has a reminder that “you still have to make herb vinegar for the holidays from chives, shallots, garlic, or any other herbs. Use approximately 4 ounces of fresh herbs to 1 quart of wine vi negar. Allow herbs to infuse for at least two weeks.” The Indoor Plants section includes the reminder to “be sure to remove or punch holes in the bottom of decorative foil around holiday plants, or they will collect water and the roots will die." Both volumes of “Notes from the Virginia Gardener” are considered ideal additions for gardening libraries. Each volume is $7 postpaid. To order, send a request (if ordering a single volume, please specify Vol. I or Vol. II) with a check payable to Treasurer, Virginia Tech to Notes from the Virginia Gardener, Department of Horticulture, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va. 24061-0327.

I’m not saying you can’t have the traditional high-calorie holiday foods like pumpkin pie or salty foods like country ham, just eat {hem in moderate amounts and offer your guests an alternative so that if gdmeone is on a restricted diet they Will have a choice. For example, for dessert have pumpkin pie and ambrosia. If someone can’t eat the rich dessert, they can have the fresh fruit instead. —Citrus fruit as flavor enhancer - When planning meals with sodium, fat, and cholesterol restricflbns, the most versatile natural flavor enhancers are citrus fruits and juices. Fresh citrus adds flavor, solor and appetite appeal. However, it will add little or no sodium, no fat or cholesterol, is low in calories, and provides excellent amounts of vitamin C and some dietary fiber. tL. Lemons in particular, with their tangy juice and refreshing aroma, $ld zest to the natural flavors of most foods. In combination with many herbs, lemons double flavor ihjoyment. Slices of lemon provide tye as well as taste appeal. Fresh Sated lemon peel puts zip in many shes. Here are some suggestions for using lemons and other fresh citrus when cutting down on sodium, t&t, cholesterol, or sugar, or to increase the fiber and complex carbohydrates in your diet.

After several years of flat sales, the economy seems poised for a buying rebound. The unemployment rate, which peaked in February of this year, has dropped nearly in half. With the increase of people working again follows an increase in consumer spending and confidence. People who have put off making bigticket purchases, such as home electronics are ready to once again enter the marketplace. In addition, a decrease in interest rates, lowering mortgage payments, means that families have more money to spend. And for merchants who have weathered the economic storm, an upbeat shopping public may be the best Christmas present they could get. Holiday Gift Guide Arthur W.

Christmas in Warrenton filled with holiday magic ByANNWELTON Tinu-Democret SUIT Writer Twinkling lights, visits with Santa, music, carolling and horse-drawn carriages: all these come together in Old Town Warrenton, beginning Dec. 4, to recall the memories of Christmas past, and create the magic of Christmas today. For the first three weekends in December, a myriad of special activities has been planned to delight both children and adults. The season kicks off at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4 in front of the old Courthouse in Warrenton. Santa Claus himself will arrive by horse-drawn carriage, and will be escorted down the street to his Warrenton headquarters — the Christmas Shop for Children. Santa will visit with children, and pictures will be available, until 9 p.m. Santa will be in his headquarters each Friday in December from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Christmas Shop for Children will also open for the season at 7 p.m. on Dec. 4. A shop set up just for children, it will be chock full of inexpensive gifts that children can purchase for mother, father, siblings and friends. All items are selected carefully to appeal to youngsters, and stay within their limited budgets. The shop is staffed with volunteers ready and willing to take young shoppers in hand and help them with their lists. Each gift is wrapped and labeled before the child leaves — so the surprises stay surprises ’til Christmas morning. The Christmas Shop for Children is open each Friday in December from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The annual Optimists’ Christinas Parade will be the highlight on Saturday, Dec. 5. Beginning at 10:30 a.m., the parade will travel down Main Street and drop off Santa Claus in front of the John Marshall building so he can visit with children. Featured in the parade this year will be the U. S. Marine Corps Band. It’s an annual event that just keeps getting better! Horse-drawn Trolley Rides will be offered in Old Town during the Christmas season as well. On Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons, shoppers may take advantage of the trolley and ride from shop to shop — or just settle in and enjoy a pleasant tour of the town. Horse-drawn Trolley Rides will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Fridays, and from 11 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays in December. Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without music. From the silly, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town, ” to the powerful “0 Holy Night, ” perhaps nothing is more meaningful to more people than the music of Christmas. The Blue Ridge Barbershoppers open the season with carolling from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Dec. 4. Their wonderful harmonies bring new life to many old favorite carols. The Barbershoppers will be in and out of stores and up and down the streets throughout the evening. Not to be outdone by their male counterparts, the Sweet Adelines will X perform from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, -*»® \P G\° (O'51 Holiday Hours Begin Monday.

The guideline is not to leave food at room temperature longer than two hours. As soon as the meal is finished, put the turkey in the refrigerator to lower the temperature below that at which harmful bacteria can grow. Removing the meat from the bone helps speed cooling. It also reduces the amount of space needed to fit it in the refrigerator. If stuffing was baked inside the turkey, remove it and refrigerate it in a separate container. “Have a plan for the leftover turkey,” she said. Many families will want to freeze some of it. Slice and package the meat into portions to suit the size' of family and freeze immediately. Meat that is frozen right away will have a better flavor than that which is kept in the refrigerator for several days, or even heated for another meal before it is frozen.

Items featured in the Old Towne stoi include finer quality classic sportswear, dresses and evening ensembles. The selection caters to the many lifestyles of Fauquier and its neighboring counties, said Ms. Fox. “Our best selling items are special occassion dresses, sweaters, knit suits... the classics,” she explained. Christine Fox invites the community to visit the boutique during her Open House on Dec. 15. Pros offer tips to catch magic in holiday pix Christmas lights — on houses and on the community Christmas tree — make wonderfully dramatic and exciting photos. But there are a couple of tricks of the trade to make them look their best in your photos. It’s easier to take good photos of holiday lights with a 35mm single lens reflex camera, since most point-and-shoot cameras can't handle the requirements to do them justice. Whether you have a 35mm SLR or a "point-and-shoot" model, here are some tips to help you take terrific photos of the magic holiday lights: • Use a tripod. V, ,i'l! shooting at slower speeds, ami you’ll need to brace your camera to avoid “camera shake." • For bri|chtly-lit trees, shoot slow ly with the lens open. If you’re using Tungsten film, shoot at 1/30 sec. with the aperture opened to f/2. For ISO -1(H) film, shoot at 1/00 sec. and f/2. • For outdoor home lighting, shoot at twilight. This will give you the effect of moonlight. For 400 speed film, shoot 1 - sec. at f/fj.<>. For Tungsten film, shot at 1 sec. and 174.5. • When it’s dark, use Hash to give a “moonlight” effect. If your subject is within Hash range, your camera should take proper exposure of the subject and lose t he dark background.

Thawing turkey safely requires care, planning Holiday cooks are making plans for their “cold turkey” — for getting it thawed, that is. “Many cooks will buy a frozen turkey to serve at some time during the holiday season,” said Virginia Cooperative Extension specialist Ann Hertzler. * The first step for preparing the turkey is to thaw it safely. “Getting it safely thawed means avoiding the conditions that are favorable for growth of harmful bacteria,” Ms. Hertzler said. Here are the recommended ways to get it ready to cook. • Leave the turkey in its original plastic wrapper, and place it on a tray in the refrigerator. Leave it there until it is thawed. The tray will prevent drippings from getting on other food. • Allow about 24 hours for each five pounds of turkey. That is, about three days for a 15-pound bird. If there isn’t r room in the refrigerator to keep the turkey for that length of time, there is another safe method. •Leave the turkey in its original plastic wrapper. Cover it with cold water and change the water frequently. This method takes about half an hour per pound or almost eight hours for a 15pound bird. • A microwave oven can be used to thaw a turkey, too. Follow the directions that came with the appliance, including those about turning the turkey so that the meat defrosts evenly and does not start to cook. Some directions will include covering thin parts of the turkey such as the wings, to keep them from cooking before the rest of the bird is thawed. • Cook the turkey as soon as it is thawed, according to Ms. Hertzler. • As soon as you can do so, remove the One more string File Photo Anthony Sours of Warrenton stands atop the ladder while Butch Arthur of Warrenton strings lights at the Old £99^99^,.. ^ j n, h '»• <r IT'r 15.'■’o ]-. >•/< » iin S I vl‘»jBri.:( i giblets that are usually stored inside the bird. The neck, liver, heart, and gizzard can be prepared as a part of the meal, too (giblet gravy, for example). • Place the thawed turkey in an oven at about 350°F for the length of time recommended for the size of the bird. A meat thermometer is the best way of judging how the cooking is going. Place the thermometer in the thick part of the thigh, so that it is in the center of the meat and not touching a bone. • Leave the turkey in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 175°F. The temperature will go up five to 10 additional degrees after the turkey is removed from the oven. • During the roasting, keep the oven’s temperature at 350°F. If the temperature drops below that level, it creates conditions that permit bacteria to grow.

Visit Brown’s for a trip down memory lane Many people enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas because it provides an opportunity to return to tradition; the holidays represent a time of reflection on the precious moments of yesteryear. Do you remember that great oak table at grandmother’s house, the one she served the roast turkey on? Where can such a special item be found these days? The answer is simple. For a delightful visit down memory lane and a trip through Americana, bring yourself and your Christmas list to Brown’s Woodstuff in Warrenton. In business for almost four years, Brown's features fine wood furniture and a tremendous number of craft items. The gift possibilities here are dazzling! George Olafsen opened his store on the corner of Waterloo Street and Broadview Avenue in April, 1989. It is a local store, associated with Brown’s Woodstuff in Occoquan, which has been open for 14 years under the ownership of John Brown, Olafsen’s brother-in-law. Many of the oak and pine reproductions carried in the Brown’s stores were handcrafted by Brown’s brother, Roger. But, the selection of couches, chairs, dinette sets, desks, and cabinets is not limited to pieces crafted by Roger Brown. Many pieces are made by Virginia House, Simply Southern, Winners, and Heritage Pine. Couch and chair upholstering is provided by Conover. While many shoppers are interested in handcrafted furniture for giving, there is a lot more to choose from. Tom Clark collectibles can be found here and are very popular; oak and pine quilt racks (and an afghan to put on it) make lovely gifts. From totebags to recipe boxes, oak rocking horses to gifts for teacher, Brown’s Woodstuff will amaze and delight many shoppers with their abundant selection of newly made items crafted with the quality and care of days gone by. To complete anyone’s holiday shopping, there is also an assortment of goods that people may want to keep for themselves. Christmas ornaments, such as crocheted bulbs for the tree, and candles in holiday scents lend themselves to a warm, cozy feeling that hints of Christmas past. There are many treasures to be found at Brown’s Woodstuff, and the atmosphere is quite pleasant. The store is managed by a team of people who will gladly assist you and help you find that special item. If there is something special that you hope to find, something of quality that reminds you of the hope and tradition that the holidays represent, visit Brown’s Woodstuff, or give them a call, 347-2189. Silent night... File Photo The Bethel Methodist Church celebrates the nativity with this live manger scene. Holiday shopping easy when you visit Rankin’s Rankin’s Furniture, located in the Waterloo Station Shopping Center in Warrenton, is the sixth store opened by local retailer James A. Rankin Sr. Mr. Rankin opened his first store in Warrenton — Rankin’s True Value Hardware, Inc. — in the old Northern Virginia Shopping Center (now the Warrenton Center) 28 years ago. Over the years, the store grew, moving into the large “anchor” building that once housed a chain grocery store. Wishing to expand into other markets, Rankin later opened a second True Value Hardware store in Winchester. About 10 years ago, Rankin separated his growing sporting goods from the hardware line, opening Rankin’s Sporting Goods a few doors down from his hardware store. This year, he opened a sporting goods store in Winchester (business number four), and a third hardware store in Colonial Beach (number five). OS M#I5; he f&rcKai4tf Of* -?r “t*' Waterloo Station Shopping Center, where he relocated his Warrenton sporting goods outlet, and opened the new furniture store (number six). With most of the furniture, televisions and large appliances now moved to the furniture store, the original hardware store has added expanded lines of building materials and homeowner needs. It is now called Rankin’s Home Center. “Between our three Warrenton stores, you should be able to find everything you need for Christmas,” says Rankin. And what about gifts? There is a lot to chose from. At Rankin’s Home Center, you will find toys, large and small appliances, tools and other useful gifts. Rankin’s Furniture has televisions, recliner chairs, bedrooms and dining room suites, curios and lots of other items for the home. At Rankin’s Sporting Goods, you can pick from athletic apparel, archery supplies, workout equipment, and hunting supplies. For more information, call Rankin’s Home Center at (703) 347-2499, Rankin’s Furniture at (703) 349-0017 or Rankin’s Sporting Goods at (703) 347-3703. t:*ir ►Trees From Page -17 $15; 5-8 ft., $20; over 8 ft.. $25 and up; dug trees, add $5.

Custom flooring makes lasting gift Gan- Knickerbocker and Ann Ashworth opened Floor Designs of Virginia at 74 W. Lee Highway (below Oak Springs Shopping Center) in Warrenton in 1990, after closing a successful commercial flooring business in Herndon. Gan- and Ann have combined experience of 40 years in the floor coverings business. Floor Designs of Virginia offers all kinds of floor coverings, including carpet, hardwoods, vinyl, ceramic and specialty floors. A licensed contracting firm, Floor Designs is proud of their reputation for quality service and timely delivery. They strive “to solve our customers’ problems, and not to contribute to them.” An average home costs $80 to $100 per square foot to build, but the floor coverings cost only $2 to $3 per foot. As a result, little thought is often given to the floor coverings used. Floor Designs stands ready to help with the planning, selection, and budgeting for your floors, using the latest technology and design information available to assure a satisfactory installation. They take great pride in their ability to solve special flooring problems, and to communicate individually with each of their clients. “Tell us your ideas and we listen; we pride ourselves in our ability to understand your likes and requirements, and to recommend the right flooring to set the tone for the space and setting”, says Mr. Knickerbocker. Although flooring is not usually considered as a gift idea, it is certainly something to consider when you are thinking about sprucing up your home for the holidays. Floor Designs has a large selection of carpet in stock for immediate installation, as well as custom area nigs for that personal touch. Floor designs of Virginia offers flexible payment 'terms with no interest or payments for the first 90 days after your purchase. mommm tm File Photo Stephanie Wilson gets a word from her dad before taking off.

Cautious optimism File Photo Paul Harrington of the Optimists club stands “guard” after last year’s Christmas parade while Santa hears kids’ wish lists. Shopping at Carter’s makes holidays special Christmas is the nicest time of year to shop in Old Town Warrenton, and one of the most fun places to visit is Carter's General Store, 45 Main St. This old-fashioned emporium was founded in 1915 by H. B. Carter, grandfather of the present proprietor, Howard Carter. You won’t find a keg of nails or a cracker barrel, but if you are looking for top-quality casual and work clothes and footwear, Carter’s is definitely worth checking out. Name brands offered include Timberland boots and shoes (a better selection of styles and sizes than you’ll find / at a mall), Carhartt outerwear, Duofold turtleneck sweaters, and London Fog rainwear. Other specialty items include flannel nightshirts and gowns, flannel shirts, western boots by Acme and other manufacturers, sweaters, heavy woolen socks — and of course, old-style Union suits. For the Boy Scout or Girl Scout on your list, Carter’s is the authorized retailer for uniforms, equipment, and accessories. Remember: “If Carter’s doesn’t have it, you don’t need it.” Carter’s General Store, 45 Main St., Warrenton, (703)347-2982.
