Jennings Hobson III stands beside the Volvo he rebuilt in his spare time. Citizen of the Year Rev. Hobson spreads ministry across county The Rappahannock News Citizen of the Year for 1992 can be found every year on the Fourth of July on Gay Street in the town of Washington. There he cqjols passers by for a dollar, which becomes part of a ribbon of bills headed for the bank. If the ribbon gets too close to the bank too soon, it is wound up to keep the cash flowing for the Washington Volunteer Fire Department. Working on the dollar-bill strip is not all The Rev. Jennings W. Hobson III does for the fire department. He frequently helps prepare the barbecued pork, an overnight project. When the fire department was in deep financial trouble about 15 years ago, the Rev. Hobson, known as Jenks by his friends, pitched in to help. “When he came in the fire department had about collapsed,” Roger Roach said. “He and Brad. (Fisher) and their wives helped keep ,qt; from going under,” he said. At 1 that time the department’s fire engine was a 1940 model and it died. “Jenks finagled a 1947 Mack from Vint Hill for $500 and that truck served the community for nearly 10 years,” he added. At the same time he was involved in the planning and construction of the new fire hall. “At that time we went through massive problems with creditors,” Mr. Roach said. “Jenks was very instrumental in getting us out of debt.” The Rev. Hobson still serves as a vice president of the fire company. “He is one of the cooler heads when emotions get tense. He gives good advice and keeps our emotions in track. He helps us in other ways that are invaluable,” Mr. Roach added. Hubert Gilkie, chairman of the wiBoard' o£ Supervisors, pointed out that the Rev. Hobson also has been an effective member of the county”s Fire and Rescue Association. “He does so many things it is hard to imagine him not being here. He has volunteered for nearly everything that has come down the pike,” Mr. Gilkie said. The fire department is just one of the many organizations the Rev. Hobson has helped out ih the nearly 20 years he has been rector of Trinity Episcopal Church. Jenks came to Trinity Church in 1973 as a deacon and was ordained a priest one year later. “At that time the church had an average Sunday attendance of fewer than 50,” said former senior warden Sean Kilpatrick. Attendance has nearly doubled over the past two decades he added. “The most important reason for that, is Jenks. His ability to listen, really listen is the most important skill of any good minister,” he said. “At times his willingness to get involved in community affairs stretched him pretty thin,” Mr. Kil Patrick added. Jenks finds it difficult; to say “no” to community groups' that need help, he added. “What' hasn’t he done would be the ques-! tion,” Rose Ann Sharp said. The di-' rector of the Child Care and; Learning Center noted that the; Rev. Hobson was one of the early > members of the center’s board of di-! rectors, helping to get the center, going and to raise funds for the cur-. rent building. Mrs. Sharp said she currently serves with the Rev. Hobson on the . school system’s special education advisory committee. “He’s just so real,; down to earth, with a sense of hu- • mor,” she said. “He’s a real asset to any organization he’s been affiliated See Citizen, Page-3 Expansion drives year's top stories By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff W ritcr While the country spent most of this year dealing with a Presidential election and the debate over the economic recovery, Rappahannock County tried to deal with several important issues, all related to growth. Faced with rising enrollments particularly at the elementary school, the School Board recommended that the county build a middle school. In January a public hearing was held on the proposal, and the majority of people in atten„ .dance-said the county should look for less costly alternatives. During the current year the School Board contracted with Baughan and Baukages, an architectural firm in Luray, to look into the costs of alternatives. Their report presented in October said that additions to both schools could be done for ap proximaieiy nan me cost oi a middle school. They recommended a 13-room addition to the elementary school and a nine-room addition to the high school. Later Superintendent David Gangel recommended that the elementary school addition be increased to 17 rooms, and the School Board supported recommending two additions. At the elementary school the goal was to complete the 17-room addition in time for the 1994-95 school year and begin the addition to the high school afew-yeaisi.later. At a public hearing in December most of those in attendance recommended that the board return to its original plan to build a middle school.

Neighbor turns the other cheek, and overturns BZA By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer , The county Board of Zoning Appeals again turned down a variance request last Wednesday, but by Monday the issue was moot. According to County Administrator John McCarthy, John and Helen Dixon had requested a variance from the zoning requirement that construction for a pond not disturb land within 100 feet of a property line without the neighboring landowner’s written permission. The Dixon’s property is off Route 642 near Viewtown. William Parish, the neighboring property owner, had not given written permission. However, the pond was already under construction, including earth disturbing activities within 100 feet of the property line, JMr. McCarthy said. Mr. Dixon testified that the pond, as originally planned was well back from the 100 foot line and its construction would not have required disturbing earth within that line. Construction on the pond started last summer. Mr. McCarthy said Mr. Dixon testified that the priginal contractor “bungled the job.” A representative from the Culpeper Soil Conservation District recommended that because the soils used in the dam were “marginal,” the dam be built to a 4 to 1 slope rather than a 3 to 1 slope, Mr. McCarthy explained. “That brought the toe of the dam closer to the neighWoodward deployed Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Brian P. Woodward, son of Thomas W. Woodward of Viewtown recently deployed with 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, Camp Lejeune, N.C. for six months to the Western Pacific. The battalion will be based in Okinawa, Japan, while conducting short training exercises in other areas in the region. Woodward is a 1986 graduate of Culpeper County High School and a 4989 graduate of Germanna Commu•nity College. bor,” he said. Another contractor was working on the job. Mr. McCarthy said Mr. Dixon testified that he needed the pond to water his livestock. He has 120 head of cattle and 45 jackasses, he said. With droughts in recent years some springs have gone dry. He said he could not move the pond location because of a rock outcropping. Mr. Parrish testified in opposition to granting the variance, as did other neighbors William Keim and Arthur Zimmerli, Mr. McCarthy said. They said the board members should uphold the ordinance requirements. Member Alex Sharp’s motion to deny the variance passed 3 to 1. Jennifer Matthews, representing Wakefield District, voted "no,” because she said she could make the finding that denying the variance would constitute a sufficient “hardship,” Mr. McCarthy said. This Monday Mr. Parrish sent a letter to the Dixons giving permission to disturb the ground in order to construct the dam with the more gentle slope. The letter makes reference to a previous right-of-way dispute between the Dixons and the Parrishes that was not a part of the testimony at the BZA hearing. The Dixons denied the Parrishes the use of a right-of-way that the Parrishes said had provided access to the property for many years. When that happened the Reims and Zimmerlis offered entry through their lands. “This letter of permission provides me another opportunity to suggest that you consider the value of living in harmony with your neighbors and the good people of the community,” Mr. Parrish wrote. “The quality of life in Rappahannock County cannot be measured in worldly possessions or acreage; but rather in the surrounding natural beauty and the pervasive good neighbor policy.” At Wednesday’s meeting the BZA also voted to revoke the special use permit granted to Carol Frances to operate a bed and breakfast in a house near Castleton. The permit had been granted to Mrs. Frances as a renter. She is apparently no longer living in the house.

Driver hurt in Christmas Eve accident According to Virginia State Police, Robert E. Frye, 44, of Castleton was injured on Christmas Eve, following an accident on Route 729. Sgt. D.S. Adams of Warrenton said that Trooper C. R. Perkey investigated the accident, which occurred about 9:30 p.m. nearly 1.5 miles south of U.S. 211. Trooper Perkey reported that Frye was driving south on Rt. 729 when he apparently lost control of his 1985 Dodge pickup truck, ran off the road and into a fence. Trooper Perkey estimated the accident caused about $500 damage to the fence owned by Hugh M. Exton and about $1,500 to the pickup truck. Mr. Frye was charged with reckless driving. Sgt. Adams also reported th^it a Fredericksburg motorist was charged with possession of marijuana following a traffic stop in Rappahannock County. Trooper S. M. Knick stopped a 1987 Escort on suspicion of speeding about 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 20 on U.S. 211 near Route 640 and saw unusual behavior in the vehicle, Sgt. Adams said. A search of the vehicle revealed a pipe and a small amount of marijuana and Eric Nels Zambrano, 33, was charged with possession by Trooper Knick.

The School Board is expected to vote again on the matter at the January meeting. In April the RJR/Nabisco company announced that Rappahannock Elementary School won one of 14 grants awarded nationwide as part of the “Next Century Schools” project. Over the next three years the school will receive $609,000 to bring computerized learning to fourth grade. A team has been hired and the project is underway. The team is developing a curriculum for the local school. Instruction will be provided in English, mathematics, science and social studies on computers which will be built into the desks in fourth grade classrooms. Currently fourth graders are testing the instructional materials as they are being developed and are learning keyboarding skills as part of the regular instructional program. In August Susan Parrish helped organize a petition drive to put the question of elected school boards on the ballot. She was successful and county citizens voted overwhelmingly (2,067 to 509) to have school board members elected. The first election will take place in 1995. The new school board will have the same authority and responsibility as the current one. Another ongoing event within the county this year has been the four laning of U.S. 211 between Sperryville and Washington. The first part of the job, from Washington to the Covington River at Gid Brown Hollow is nearly complete. That work has been done by L.F. Franklin of Stephenson, which bid $1,988,739 for the job. The second half of the construction project, from the Covington to Sperryville, is being done by Haynes Brothers of Chatham for $3,296,024. Scholarships now available The Department of Social Services is currently offering tuition scholarships for college courses for child care providers. The scholarships are funded through the Child Care and Development Block Grant. The scholarships will cover the cost of one three hour course at a community college or may be applied toward the cost of selected coursework at a four year college. The courses funded include courses in basic child development, creative activities, behavior management and one additional course leading to the Career Studies Certificate in Early Childhood Programs.

This part of the project includes the new culverts at the Covington River and a new bridge at the North Fork of the Thornton near Sperryville. Haynes Brothers hopes to be finished by September, 1993. The supervisors were pleasantly surprised in July and August when they faced the chore of naming every road and right-of-way in the county. (The task must be done before a 911 Emergency System can be installed for the county.) In neighboring counties the debate over road names has been at times rancorous and divisive. Not so here where the supervisors worked with the local fire departments to retain old road names wherever possible. The county’s sanitation authority came under the gun this past summer when the State Water Control Board (SWCB)charged that the Sperryville treatment plant was not being operated according to the rules. In August the SWCB said that partially treated sewage was being discharged into the Thornton. The sewer authority also was charged with poor operation and maintenance of the plant and improper reporting procedures. The authority responded by hiring Environmental Service Systems of Culpeper to run the plant while the problems were corrected. By mid-September the SWCB appeared convinced that progress was being made at the Sperryville plant and fined the sewer authority only $4,000. Now the county is trying to hire one trained person full time to take care of the Sperryville sewage plant and the treatment facilities at the two schools. Until that person is hired, ESS will continue to operate the plant in Sperryville. * The town on Washington took steps to deal with two long-standing problems this year. More important by far is the water system, whiqh suffers from old, leaky pipes that are too small to carry the necessary water. After extended delays caused by the health department and the water control board, the Town Council was able to put the project out to bid this fall. Rapawan Construction of Front Royal was the low bidder for most of the work, and council is still negotiating over the cost of the ne\y pump house and all of the equipment required by state and federal agencies. ; The town council also hoped to end the debate over street lights by voting to pick one fixture. Sometime next year the power company wi$ complete the bid process for the town and council members will know what it will cost to replace the old lights. i Earlier this month the Shenandoah National Park suggested it could deal with a tight budget by closing two thirds of the Skyline Drive for six months. When localities dependent on tourism screamed, Virginia’s congressional delegation swung into action. The Park Service decided that other services at the park could bfe cut back or eliminated rather than close part of the Drive. There will be fewer rangers and fewer campsiteson the Blue Ridge this summer. New Year’s Eve BINGO SPECIAL . Thursday, Dec. 31 2 BIO SESSIONS 7 P.M.- 10:30 P.M. lOOO JACKPOT 2 ADMISSIONS SALEM VOL.

He has such calm good judgment.” He also was an active member of the advisory committee that prepared the family life curriculum for the local school system several years ago. Another of the many organizations the Rev. Hobson has supported is the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Board. He served on that board from 1980 until 1991. During that time he served as chairman for two years and part of a third. He served through the time when executive director Jo Gorman was sick and then dying. He continued until her replacement w as found. “He was an outstanding member of the board,” Frances Thornton, another long-term member said. “Jo Gorman was too dependent on Jenks,” she added. “She was calling him for all decisions because he was so available and so nice.” She noted that the new director had sent her and the Rev. Hobson copies of the proposed new policy manual for their comments, “so he can’t get rid of this yet.” Counselor Bob Treanor noted that the Rev. Hobson currently serves on the Mental Health Advisory Board and had been instrumental in getting Family Guidance Service into the county. When the local effort was a satellite of the Culpeper office, the Rev. Hobson made the parish hall at Trinity available for the counsellors to meet with clients. “He’s made our job infinitely easier,” Mr. Treanor said. “He fully supports mental health work.” But more important than the work he does for various boards and organizations is the work he does for individuals. His hobby for many years has been working on cars. One result of that hobby has been a close friendship with Mike Brown of B&B Service Center in Sperryville. When asked about his friend, Mr. Brown said, “I am not even a member of his church, but when my mother died, he came by and said, lets talk. He has helped so many people in this county, he has done so much it is hard to single any one thing out." Ken and Mary Beth Shankel have been a part of the network the Rev. Hobson uses to provide that help. “We go in on the front line,” Mrs. Shankel said. “Basically we have a mess. We're dealing with alcohol, spouse abuse, habitual inmates of the county jail, people who are sucking the county dry.” “He will say, 'Go over there and see what the problem is,’” she added. “He’ll call on welfare, mental health. I’ve seen months, even years, going into an individual.” Not all of these efforts are fruitful, but many are. “He elicits every asset available in the county, usually without tapping county finances," she said. “I run into people Jenks has intervened with all over the county who are now contributing members of society.” She remembers calling him at £ a.m. to talk with a man who was prepared to commit suicide. She had been working with his wife, and felt that this problem was beyond her abilities. ‘This was a person who had never gone to church. It was one of the coldest nights I can remember; It was just a human being out there. Jenks didn’t go as a minister; he went as Jenks,” she said. “I can remember a couple of suicide runs he’s made,” Mr. Shankel added. “These things never happen in the early evening; it’s always the wee hours.” “Our church doesn’t pay him to do suicide intervention with nom members,” Mrs. Shankel said. “He just does it. It’s one of the most unpleasant chores you can be in on, un-i less it’s cleaning up after a suicide, and he’s been in on that too. ” “Some things are on a lighter note,” Mr. Shankel added. “He’s picked up people stranded out in the boonies, even across state lines. He’s very self-sacrificing in that, but it does take him away from his family-” “I’m the one who killed his Volkswagon,” Mrs. Shankel added. He let her use it to commute to nursing school at Germanna Community College after her car had broken down twice. “If he hadn’t done that I wouldn’t be making the money I am. He’s the kind of guy who helps you enough so you can help yourself.” Mr. Shankel agreed, saying over the years the Rev. Hobson has learned how to give that kind of help. “It’s like you teach a guy to fish instead of giving him a fish,” he said. "He tends to go to great lengths td understand special needs of people and special difficulties. He’s interested enough to do research, get counsel, and involve himself so he can be more productive.” Mrs. Shankel said one time the Rev. Hobson asked her to sort through his files while he was on vacation. “Everybody in the church knew he was away, but still the phone rang non-stop and people kept dropping by,” she said. She said that was also the timg she learned about all the many organizations he was involved with. “It was incredible,” she said. The Shankels know that there have been times when the vestry at Trinity has asked the Rev. Hobson to get off some board in order to have more time for the congregation. “He will, but he sends others to take his place,” Mr. Shankel said. “The man is genuinely concerned about his fellow man.” He said that although the Rev. Hobson is an Episcopal priest “he’s not very denominational. He’s concerned about your personal relationship with God.” Social worker Nancy Reevf agreed. “He’s one of the people wg call on for emergency funds to helg people through a particular immedti ate problem,” she said. “He’s alsfl someone we call on to help find g particular item like a bed or refrigei* ator and someone we recommend people talk to when they have S problem.” 2 “He’s a resource, or he can toucj] resources,” she added. “He’s a probj lem solver and a grand choice fov Citizen of the Year. ” 2 Ki Theatre will present four events beginning in January as the third season for their EXCHANGE program again this year. This program has received funding from the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. A grant of $5,000 has been awarded Ki Theatre for this program. This Jan. 17, Pak Ngurah Surpartha, the Assistant to the Education and Cultural Attache of the Indonesian Embassy in Washington, D.C., will lead a Balinese Gamelan dance performance. Three dancers from Indonesia will perform with him, accompanied by the Charlottesville Gamelan Ensemble. The Gamelan is the orchestra of Bali, an island in the Indonesian archipelago. Its performance marks the seasonal festivals of this rich Hindu culture. The ensemble is composed of xylophone-like instruments of different shapes and sizes and bronze gongs. Sounds are woven together to create evocative melodies and slow rhythms. Javaense dancers use masks and scarves to produce allusive gestures and portray mythological figures. The Gamelan’s complex percussive sound is known for' its joy and power. Mr. Surpartha has served as director of both the Conservatory of Dance, Music, and Puppetry, and the new Art Center of Bali. Scholar and music director for the event is Cynthia Benton-Groner of the University of Virginia. She studied gamelan in Java under a grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, and is director of the Charlottesville Gamelan Ensemble. Feb. 21 two artists reflecting the culture of modem Russia will discuss the impact of political history on artists and their work in this vast and ancient country. Maryanne Ozernoy, who was refused permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union for a dozen years, Winter art class planned The Blue Ridge Arts Council Inc.’s winter art class will focus on “Mixed Media on Paper." The class will be held on Thursdays, beginning Jan. 7 and ending Feb. 25.

There are 1. 3. 5, and 7-year ARMS Just to name a Few. These ARMS have a fixed Interest rate for the above specified periods and are adjustable thereafter. ARMS generally have 'change date caps' and 'lifetime' caps. A .typical change date cap Is 2% and a typical lifetime cap Is 6%. .What this means is that on any Change date, the Interest rate may Increase or decrease by a maximum of 2 points, but over the life of the loan, the Interest rate will not Increase or decrease more than 6%. One of the benefits of an adjustable rate loan Is that If a home buyer does not qualify for a fixed rate loan, he may qualify at the lower Initial rate of an adjustable rate loan. Some ARM programs require that the -homeowner be qualified at the maximum first Interest rate change If he is not making a .substantial downpayment (20% •or more). This Is to Insure that >e will not experience ‘Payment Shock* If his mortgage payments Increase the maximum amount.

When he came to the state’s library system, however, he chopped away more meat than fat. Under the current state aid formula the Rappahannock County Library is eligible to receive $12,468 in state aid. But if Gov. Wilder has his way, state aid to libraries would be cut 60 per cent and Rappahannock would receive only $6,234 in the 1993-’94 fiscal year under the new formula. State funding for our library pays a small part of the librarian’s salary and buys books -- books used by more and more people. The library has seen steadily rising use since it moved into the new building. Book circulation is up by nearly two thirds. The Literacy Volunteers use the library to teach reading and math skills. The library opens its shelves to the inmates at the county jail and to the sight impared with large print books and books on tape. The library’s educational programs are enjoyed by packed houses. * This library meets a critical community need. To restore Jts funding we must make our representatives in the General Assembly aware of our needs. Sen. Kevin Miller will be at the Courthouse at 4 p.m. next Wednesday, Jan. 6. Stop by, shake jus hand, and urge him to restore the funding for the state library system. •8 ' ditorial HAPPY NEW YEAR HOW ARE I YOU GET- f TING HOME\ r-\ \ Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sc*n Kilpatrick*'. Rappahannock Heritage This old stone out-building is still in use on the Fodderstack Road between Washington and Flint Hill. Political campaigns cost millions By JOHN GOOLRICK Kappahannmk New* Special Writer A friend of mine who has little use for politics was astounded when he read that Mary Sue Terry was about to raise a million dollars in one night for her gubernatorial campaign fund. In fact, he said, he couldn’t understand why it took so much money to run political campaigns and suspected it was all a scam to help line the pockets of greedy politicians. It would not surprise me if most people are puzzled why people running for public office are constantly begging for money so they can win election and help provide good government. How, they might wonder, can those who take money from all sorts of special interest groups really provide good government for those connected to no special interests. I’ll dodge that question, but will comment on why in this modern era it has come to the point anyone running for a major office either has to raise lots of money or face probable defeat. Let’s take the case of Ms. Terry, who will be the Democratic nominee for governor, and three Republicans seeking their party’s nomination for governor. My friend made the point that since Ms. Terry, the state’s attorney general the past seven years, is not opposed for the nomination she shouldn’t need much money at this stage of the game. But they are wrong. She spent, for instance, nearly $113,(K)0 in the period from Oct. 24 to Nov. 28 this year. Running for governor in a growing and sprawling state such as Virginia isn’t chopped liver. Staff and consultants and campaign space have to be in place now. Planning must get underway and costly fund raising appeals mounted. There is always something that must be done and costs money so those who run must find ways to keep a cash flow coming in that doesn’t exceed that going out. In Ms. Terry’s case, since she may not have to seriously battle anyone for the nomination, it means that she may have a million or more in the bank as the general election starts, giving her a big financial advantage over her Republican challenger. That’s because the three men seeking the GOP nomination can’t Letter to the Editor Others assist at loan closet To the Editor: Our thanks to the Rappahannock Neu's for their article last week explaining our change of name and services to the community.

DOT MANK MARY WILLIAMS Rappahannock Convalescent Aids Allen thanks constituents To the Editor One year ago, with more than 100,000 voters in a three way race, the people of Virginia’s Seventh Congressional District sent me to Congress with a mission: to fight hard for the working taxpayers of Virginia and the Nation. While I have had the privilege of presenting- our ideas to the Congress, I regret there was not time to accomplish all the things we had hoped. As you are now aware, Virginia’s new redistricting plan divided the historic Seventh District into five new Congressional Districts, all of which will be represented by very hard-working distinguished gentlemen in the Congress next year. Reflecting on this year, I realize that the guidance of my constituents has been critical in every decision I have made while serving in Washington. I have listened to what they had to say, and applied their wisdom toward creating and supporting only those common-sense measures which would best benefit the American people. At times those decisions were not always well-liked, but in the end, my constituents appreciated that I did what was right instead of what was always “popular.” Now as we look ahead to a new Administration and a new Congress in Washington, I hope that our principles of fiscal conservatism, mutual cooperation and genuine concern for the well-being of the American people, will be their fundamental principles as well. 1 assure you, the same commitment and determination that burned in me when I decided to run for Congress still bums in me today. I will continue to work, not to reinvent government, but to return it to the purposes for which it was formed by the people: to protect life, liberty and property and not to be an oppressive enemy or meddlesome nanny. Working together, we will make such a change. With heartfelt gratitude, I thank you for the trust you placed in me over the past year to be your Congressman. It has been 9 pleasure and an honor to represent such great Americans. REP. GEORGE ALLEN Seventh District Virginia Through Both Barrels _ o _ spend time worrying now about how they’ll finance a general election campaign. They have to pay staff, maintain campaign headquarters and spend, spend, spend immediately in order to win the nomination. The three are more than likely spending half their time these days trying to raise funds to keep their campaigns afloat. As those who travel in political circles know, politicians and their money raisers rate potential contributors the same way casinos rate their gamblers. There are the high dollar folks with deep pockets, the kind of affluent individuals or corporate interests who forked over $10,000 for a table at Ms. Terry’s recent Richmond bash held under heated tents on an island in the James River. Spearheaded by Delegate A1 Smith of Frederick County, who once raised a million for Charles Robb in a single night, it was strictly a high rollers affair. There is a middle ground of cam paign contributor who gives anywhere from a hundred to three or four hundred dollars. They are a very important element since a hundred here and a hundred there eventually add up to real money. Then there are the low dollar contributors, people inclined to go to a barbecue where the cost is $25 a ticket. But since the cost of providing the barbecue must be deducted, the only way to make such events significant is to sell lots of tickets}. Politicians much prefer the high dollar affairs since the money total has lots more zeroes behind it. The biggest single cause of high campaign expenses these days is, of course, television. It is very expensive and yet absolutely necessary in contests for major offices. Used effectively it can shape both the image of a candidate and the direction of his or her campaign. No doubt the candidates for governor this fall will be pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into TV to deliver an unfiltered message. Should limits be put on campaign spending at all levels? There are many pros and cons but I suspect that those who are constantly asked to give to politicians think the idea makes sense.

Regional food bank nears campaign goal The Thomas Jefferson Area Food Bank’s Fall Hands Against Hunger fund raising campaign is approaching its goal of $35,000. With less than three weeks left in the campaign, contributions have reached a total of $30,968.32. “We have high hopes of going far over our goal,” said Food Bank Manager, Dan Bucqa. “We originally set our goal just to meet basic operating expenses. However, exceeding that goal would allow us to advance the schedule of improvements to our new warehouse and take care of some recenty construction costs." The Food Bank’s new facility at 500 Henry Avenue in Charlottesville has recently been enlarged to 4,800 square feet. In addition, a 12 x 40 foot cooler freezer combination unit was donated to the Food Bank in November by International Cold Storage of Covesville. “Hopefully, we will raise enough over our operating expense goal to cover the construction costs of installing this wonderful gift from International,” said Mr. Bucca. “This unit will enable us to handle far more refrigerated and frozen products than we have in the past. Many of our 132 member agencies are now taking advantage of the excellent variety of frozen poultry do nations which we have available,” he said. ! In 1991, the Thomas Jeffersop Food Bank provided food with a retail value in excess of $1.5 million for distribution to needy families ih Charlottesville, and the counties of Albermarle, Greene, Fluvanna, Culpeper, Orange, Nelson, Madison and Rappahannock. « According to Mr. Bucca, that figure will be suppassed in 1992 as the need for food assistance in the area continues to grow. “Funds are also needed to establish an emergency food fund to procure additional nutritious nonperishable food for the poor who needs us more than ever now.” Quilt class set at Belle Grove * T MIDDLETOWN - Belle Grove Plantation will offer a six week Beginner Quiltmaking course to begin Tuesday, Jan. 19, 1993.

A Christmas story Christmas, ’92 Dear Tim, My regards to your family. I understand that you have been busy in the hurricane relief business in Florida with your insurance company. I imagine that stepped up your Christmas spirit! I was musing over Christmasses past. Thinking of writing an article for the paper. I was reliving the Christmas of 1970 and cringing from the memory. That was in my last months of addictive drinking. I have written about addictions for the column before. The response I get from people on 1 the street makes me reluctant to write about it. They, the readers in general, do not like to read that kind of material. Somehow they are repulsed. They are uncomfortable with me. One of my friends, took me aside after one article and whispered, “I admire your courage in talking about alcoholism, my wife was in recovery for many years.” Here, a man who had witnessed the miracle and joy of recovery and he had to whisper about it. How do you figure that? Anyway, since I got the . synapses moving on the subject, I might as well burden you with it. First, as my favorite nephew, I know it will not bother you and second you have a sister-in-law in the acute stage of alcoholism who could use a little inspiration. I understand that shels in jail now. Tell her how lucky she is to be recovering there and not dying in some more respectable place. I was separated from my family in 1970 and working (drinking is what I was doing) at a job from which 1 knew I was going to be fired. The children were coming to see me on Christmas ' day and stay for a while. I was determined not to drink so on Christmas morning there was no ' alcohol in the house. It was a 1 holiday with no beverage stores open. I was in withdrawal as soon as I got up. It was indiscribably Day By Day miserable. I could not smile, talk, or participate with my loved ones. I could not love my loved ones. All that I could do was pace back and forth until the next day. Looking back on my life, there were only two times when I should have had something to drink and didn’t. The first was my wedding night in 1946 to remove some inhibitions and the other was Christmas, 1970, to remove the withdrawal. The other 25 years I had something to drink and should not have. The thirst was quenched the next morning so the rest of the holiday was nearly tolerable. I was fired from the job on the first day after the holidays. 1 knew that I had lost everything, that my life was over. I moved to my old home town determined to just disappear. The recovery, the great miracle of recovery, started right there in Twin Falls, Idaho, your home town. Transport us now to the Christmas of 1971. I was still unemployed. I borrowed $40 from a friend that I had not alienated. Another friend loaned me a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, near where my children lived. On that Christmas day the people I truly loved came back to me. The Christmas of 1971 was not only the best Christmas but the best day I have ever known. Your favorite Uncle wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. My love to you and everyone in town.

Supervisor Hubert Gilkey requested that $5,000 be turned over to the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association, recalling that the supervisors had authorized an $8,000 allocation as the local share of an 80 percent - 20 percent hardship grant awarded by the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance Fund for communications equipment. The funds were included in the 1981-82 budget but weren’t spent that year and the $8,000 isn’t shown as a line item in the current budget, he noted. 9 USDA Choice Beef London Broil.

Leake Jon Morgan : 987*8236 987-8500 John Eubank BudCorder - 987*8146 675*3291 By HELEN W. SMITH Extension A|ent, Home Economic* The word casserole, which is French, means different things to different people. Most of us in America define a casserole as a mixed-up dish which is baked in the oven and comes out with a browned top. The definition according to Webster and some cooking experts is much broader. In French terms, a casserole dish is not necessarily browned at all, and it can be cooked on top of the range or in the oven and run under the broiler for browning if it happens to require that type of finish. We often say we are serving “a casserole,” meaning the food itself. But the French say they cook “en casserole,” referring to the container, not the contents. Casserole basics Most casseroles have: a starch food. . .potatoes, bread, rice, or some type of pasta; a protein food. . .meat, cheese, eggs, beans; and a sauce. . .to bind the ingredients together. Soup, gravy, broth, bouillon, tomato juice or sauce or a white sauce may constitute the liquid. Advantages of casserole cookery Why do we fix casseroles and one-dish dinners? Aside from the sheer pleasure of eating them, there are practical reasons for casserole cookery. Casseroles are a food saver; they give left-overs a new lease on life. Because they use up leftovers, casseroles can help save money. They make it possible to extend Sunday’s roast into Monday’s rice casserole and Tuesday’s stew. Actually, I use the term “plannedovers” instead of “left-overs” at my house. It may be psychological, but it sounds better. Casseroles are also a time-saver. Double a recipe. Cook one and freeze one to have on hand for a busy day. How to freeze casseroles Freeze most casseroles before baking, especially when all the ingredients are already cooked. Exceptions to this are dishes that contain uncooked rice, raw vegetables, or uncooked meat that has been frozen and thawed. Do not freeze mixtures containing hard-cooked egg whites, raw vegetables, mayonnaise, or sour cream. Undercook starchy ingredients such as beans, rice, and noodles, as they can become mushy when frozen. Potatoes become especially soft. Freeze casserole toppings separately to keep them from becoming soggy. Keep a supply of plain or buttered crumbs in the freezer to use on frozen casseroles. Do not freeze baked pastry; add fresh or frozen unbaked pastry during reheating. Season foods lightly before freezing, then add more when reheating. Cloves, pepper, garlic, and celery become stronger on freezing; onion, salt, and chili powder weaken. Freeze casseroles either in quantities just right for your family or in individual servings. To freeze: Chill hot casserole rapidly. Set pan of hot food in ice water; cool to room temperature. Wrap, label, and freeze. When possible, use shallow baking dishes to speed freezing and thawing of casseroles. Allow some headspace to permit expansion of food. Cover casseroles with moisturevapor proof material such as freezer paper, heavy foil, plastic wrap, or a tight-fitting lid. Fix tape around the edges to make a tight seal. Label contents, number of servings, and date of freezing. One handy way to freeze a casserole is to line the dish with heavy foil, leaving a long overhang; prepare casserole as directed. Seal foil over food; freezer. When frozen, remove wrapped casserole from dish. Label and store in the freezer. Reheat in the same casserole dish. To serve: Use frozen casseroles within 2 to 3 months for best quality. The size of the frozen casserole affects baking time. Shallow dishes and smaller quantities of food re* r' re less reheating time than per, large casseroles. To reheat casserole without thawing, bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees till heated through, 1 to 2 hours for most casseroles. To thaw casserole before reheating, let it stand overnight in the refrigerator. Then, cook as directed in the recipe, baking an additional 15 to 30 minutes longer. If gravies or sauces separate on freezing, stirring may help return them to their original consistency.
