By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Kappahannock News Staff Writer It snowed. Boy, did it snow! People who have been in Rappahannock County for a couple of decades can tell you it has snowed longer and harder in the past and the drifts have been deeper and wider. But this certainly was enough snow to last the rest of the year. Sperryville’s weather observer Dennis Wingfield reported that about 16 inches of snow fell during the storm, which began late Friday night and continued until Sunday morning. All last Friday weather reporters were forecasting blizzard conditions throughout the region. For once they were right. Mr. Wingfield recorded wind gusts as high as 36 miles per hour during the storm and an all-time barametric low of 28.07 inches, a reading normally found in the eye of large hurricanes. The cold, biting wind drove the snow into huge drifts throughout the county, leaving many roads impassable until Tuesday afternon. Ron Marshall, maintenance chief for VDOT’s Rappahannock Office, said the last blocked roads, Route 618 up the side of Red oak Mountain near Woodville, and Route 629 in Bean Hollow were opened Wednesday. Schools remained closed on Wednesday. Dr. David Gangel, superintendent of schools, said he would give the highway department a list of bus turnaround points. “Once they have been cleared and the buses can turn around, I will reSee Snow, Page A-6 4 million budget By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The School Board adopted a $5.4 million budget for the coming school year Tuesday night. The budget total and the county’s share was increased by $11,500 over the original proposal. The art teacher’s position will increase from 40 percent to 70 percent of a full position and the second speech therapist’s position will increase from 60 percent to 80 percent. At last week’s meeting the two speech therapists recommended that the second speech position be made full time. They said that, while the work load does not exceed state mandates, it does exceed state recommendations based on a point scale for evaluating severity of speech problems. At that meeting School Superintendent David Gangel said that while it would be desireable to have two full-time speech therapists, there were other things that also would be desireable Planners seek public comment The Washington Town Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on revisions to the town’s zoning ordinance on Monday, March 22, at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse. The planners have been reviewing the current zoning ordinance for months and asked County Administrator John McCarthy to review the document as well. OOlLouise Van Dort, chairman of the planning commission, praised Mr. McCarthy earlier this week for his work. “He really helped clean up the language and make it more concise,” she said. “I hope that it is more readable so that the average Joe will be able to pick it up and read through it and move logically from section to section,” McCarthy said. The planners have proposed very . few substantive changes to the ordinance. The proposed setback requirements are more straight forward and easier to understand, as is the link between building height and setback. See Zoning, Page A-6 which had been cut from the budget. He specifically mentioned that he had hoped to include a full-time art position but had cut it to 40 percent. The budget changes approved by the School Board would increase the art position from 40 percent to 60 percent. The other 10 percent, to increase the position to 70 percent, comes from the RJR/Nabisco grant. Dr. Gangel said including funds for the art teacher in that program would enable her to work with the people designing software for the computerized fourth-grade curriculum to make it more appealing to the children. There are other personnel changes in that grant program that will not affect the bottom line of the budget. The $5.4 million budget represents an increase of nearly 13 percent or $620,500 overtthis year’s budget. Funds from, the state decreased by 3.16 percent or $39,400, and funds from the federal I --- government also decreased by $23,800 or 7.45 percent. “Other” funds increased by 48.46 percent or $239,100. The main reason for this increase is the $196,800 grant from RJR/Nabisco. Although the program has been going on this year, funds for it were not included in the budget adopted for this year. “Other” funds also include the state’s estimate of the portion of the sales tax that will be returned to the county based on school-aged population. The state estimated that that figure would increase by 8.33 percent or $39,200. Funds from drivers’ education are projected to increase by $2,500 because fees paid by students will be raised from $35 to $60. The county’s share of the budget also increased by $444,700 or 16.28 percent. Raises for teachers account for about $120,000 of that amount. Raises for administrators, teachers’ aides and other employees account for about $38,600. Other increases are due to having to hire additional people. Many of those additions, such as an additional kindergarten teacher, signing specialist, , and bus driver for a lift-equipped bus, were made this ye^r but not included in the budget. About $24,7]p0 of the increase will be used to increase duties and time for other employees so that Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell can act as “clerk of the works” for the elementary school building addition. Another $82,400 is for architect’s fees to design the addition, and $41,200 was included to pay the first six months’ interest on bonds for the addition. Bryant Lee. representing Hampton District, made the motion to approve the budget according to Dr. Gangel’s recommendations. He said he was glad Dr. Gangel had been able to find funds to See Schools, Page A-6 l Fashion Showjhis Saturday' TfW \ 1 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Pat Williams, owner of The First Years in Culpeper, displays one of the dresses that will be shown at the Woman’s Club fashion show this Sunday at the high school.

Three cars damaged in crashes Although the weekend blizzard kept traffic to a minimum over the weekend, the Virginia State police did deal with two accidents earlier in the week. On March 11a single car accident occurred on Route 729 near the intersection with Route 640. According to a report filed by Trooper S.M. Knick, George I. Presgraves, 67, of Amissville, was headed south on Route 729 in a 1975 Ford sedan when he ran off the road on the right side about 7 p.m. The vehicle continued along the shoulder and struck a fence and some newspaper tubes. Trooper Knick estimated the sedan was a total loss. He charged Mr. Presgraves with driving under the influence. On March 9, Trooper Knick responded to a two-car accident on Route 626 in Tiger Valley. According to the trooper’s report, the accident occurred about 3:50 p.m. on a curve about .6 miles south of U.S. 211.Jason S. Morris, 21, oi Jeltersonton was dnving northbound in a 1991 Dodge van and collided with a 1987 Honda station wagon driven by Elizabeth B. Smith, 58, of Flint Hill in the middle of a curve. The van sustained about $1,000 damage and the Honda was a total loss, reported Knick. The trooper charged Morris with failure to drive to right of center. Trooper C.A. Moore reported that he arrested Gary Wayne Phelps, 35, of Front Royal on March 6 at 9:56 p.m. on U.S. 522 at the intersection with Route 641. Mr. Phelps was charged with driving after having been declared an habitual offender.

Pat Shotton (703) 875-3442 83rd anniversary Boy Scouts continue rich traditions On Feb. 8, 1910, William D. Boyce brought to life the Boy Scouts of America. A Chicago publisher, Boyce had been lost in London when he asked a young boy for directions. After leading Boyce through the fog the boy refiised to accept a tip explaining that he was a “Scout.” Inspired by what he had observed Boyce brought the idea of Scouting back to the United States. Souting for boys was an idea conceived by Sir Robert Baden-Powell of England, a retired British Army Brigadier and hero of the Boar Wars. By the time it was organized in the United States in 1910 the movement already had spread to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. It would soon spread to Belgiun, Holland, France, Sweden, Germany, and Russia. The Scout Law was universal to Scouting organizations, all created from the idea from which BadenPowell had begun his movement. Requests were received for permission to translate the book “Scouting for Boys” into many foriegn languages. Interested solely in spreading the Scouting Movement with no interest in making money he charged a mere one guinea fee to legalize the translations. By 1929 Baden-Powell would be Chief Scout of the World; worldwide membership had grown to more than two million Scouts. That year 30,000 of them from 42 nations would meet at Gil well Park in England for the first World Jamboree. Gilwell Park was to become the International Scouting Center. Scouting came to the Shenandoah Valley before the current Shenandoah Area Council was chartered. Records show Scouting in Luray in 1913, Winchester in 1915, Front Royal in 1917 and, although no records are availible, an article in the July 31, 1941, Martinsburg Journal notes Scouting was celebrating its 30th Anniversary that fall in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Scouting in Page, Warren, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Frederick, Clark, counties and the City of Winchester as well as Jefferson, Berkeley, and Morgan counties of West Virginia make up our present day Shenandoah Area Council. The annual budget approaches a half million dollars and serves nearly 5,000 youth. Programs include Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Exploring and a B.S.A. affiliate “Learning for Life.” Programs are offered for youth members beginning at six years old in the first grade and continue through high school. The Exploring Program is for 1420 year olds and is co-ed. The “Learning for Life” program is an in-school program provided as a resource for teachers and schools. A large protion of the Council Learning for Life Program provides for special needs students, many of whom are not active in any other extra-curricular activities. The Scouting Movement today is a modern up to date character developing youth program that is second to none. Comprehensive in its part nership and relationship with schools and churches it enhhances rather that competes with existing programs and lessons of religious leaders and educators. Emphasis is one respect for all people and their religious beliefs, duty to God as the individual Scout believes, duty to Country, and encouragement to “Do your Best.” While Scouts learn and practice leadership and self-reliance they also learn the value of teamwork and personal development. The program has been constantly modernized to capture the spirit of today’s youth while the ideals and principles remain the same as they were in 1910. Whether its sharing a pinewood derby project with a Cub Scout and his Dad, a Philmont Trek to the Explore Sudan on Sunday Ki Theatre’s third program in the 1993 “Exchange Series”, which features international artists, offers an evening to experience the dramatic folktales of the colorful Afican Sudan.

Dinka trib members, considered conservative and resistant to modernization, hold powerful political positions in Sudan. Deng’s future seemed clear.

The friendship, comradarie, handicrafts and outdoor activities all provide a wonderful atmosphere w here they will learn the lessons and accumulate the memories that will last a lifetime. Rappahannock County has more than doubled its membership in the Scouting Movement in the past year. The potential for it to double again this year is great due to the increased awareness brought about by the superb programs this year in Amissville and Washington for the Tiger and Cub Scout age boys (age 6-10 1/2). The boys have had to all go to the only Scout Troop in the county located in Flint Hill since the Troop in Amissville folded last year. Ihe renewed interest this year had prompted plans to Re-Charter the Troop in Amissville and leadership for that Troop is currently being recruited. A study is also being planned to duscuss the feasibility of establishing a Cub Pack and Scout Troop in Sperryville. The requirement to charter a unit is five boys and the adult leadership to support the unit. With the geopgrapic dispersian of the county’s population, it is to the community’s advantage to have a number of small, high quality units than one or two large units that require the Scouts to travel miles for each meeting. If you are not a Scout...Why Not? If your son or grandson isn’t sharing in the fun... Why Not? If you aren’t supporting Scouting in your area...Why Not? No previous experience is necessary!

The Audit 8uff«tu «***&*«£ Some things do change A blizzard, complete with high winds, lots of snow falling sideways, and frigid temperatures rocked the county this past weekend. When the wind stopped howling Sunday afternoon it was apparent that some things have changed over the last 20 years. > Then — the highway department erected miles of snow fence in a mostly vain attempt to keep the drifting snowfrom clogging the highways. Residents of the F.T. Valley were lucky if Route 231 were plowed within the week of a major snow storm. The miles of dirt roads were rarely, if ever, plowed before rising temperatures melted the snow. Then — local farmers opened the dirt roadswith farm tractors; they had to in order to feed their livestock. If the drifts were too big, farmers marked out temporary roadways across their fields. Life went on and residents mostly didn’t complain about the inconveniences. This time when the wind stopped howling the growl of big snowplows could be heard all across the county. From Chester Gap to Slate Mills the highway department was hard at work on Sunday as it had been all day Saturday during the height of the storm. The main roads were passable and the big plows, bulldozers and even a snowblower were hard at work on the back roads. By Wednesday afternoon every road in the county (nearly 220 miles of dirt and asphalt) was open to traffic. Countless drifts had been cut. In many places the path through the drifts was barely one lane wide, but people could get out. Yet the VDOT crews were not fast enough. Sunday morning angry residents began calling the highway dept, maintenance shed near Washington to complain. First they complained that their road was blocked. Then, when a plow came by and opened up a path, they called to complain that the plow had pushed up a wall of snow and blocked their driveway. The highway department has 19 people assigned to Rappahannock County. Six more came up from Warsaw on the Northern Neck to lend a hand. They worked around the clock from Friday night until Tuesday evening so that we could rush back to our too-hurried lives. They deserve our thanks and praise", not complaints and curses. Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan* This bucolic trout stream will be overrun on Saturday when trout season opens at noon. • Virginia provides early test for GOP By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer Virginia Republicans may provide the first significant test of whether the OOP’s tent can be pitched broad enough in the future for it to take back the White House and compete realistically for control of Congress. A state Republican convention in Richmond in early June will be among the largest in Virginia history and possibly the most acrimonious with a huge battle brewing between so-called party regulars and what the media describes rightly or wrongly as the fundamentalist wing. Ironically, the fight will be principally joined not at the top of the ticket where three men are vying for the gubernatorial nomination or in a two-race for the nod for attorney general, but for nomination for lieutenant governor and the dubious right to face Democratic incumbent Donald Beyer next fall. There are two announced candidates at the moment for second spot, although there is already talk of slipping someone else in as a compromise convention choice. The tw'o now running are Michael Farris, a Northern Neck lawyer and fundamentalist who is using close ties with the Rev. Pat Robertson’s organization to get delegates elected to the convention who are pledged to his candidacy, a former White House aide Bobbie Kilberg, also an attorney, who is getting major support from the pragmatic regular elements who want to see such controversial THE WRITER'S ART Are we all dysfunctional? By JAMES J. KILPATRICK Universal Press Syndicate OK, troops! Halt! At ease. The scouting party that has been in search of “dysfunctional” may now disband. This mot du jour of 1992 has had its jour. On to something else. It was toward the end of November that I asked for citations of “dysfunctional.” The word, was spreading like measles. In mid-January I reported the first fruits of the search. More than 300 readers had sent clippings of the epidemic adjective. Now the contributions have doubled. Enough! Enough already. A reviewer in The New York Times Book Review finds a new cause for worry: a dysfunctional space station of the future. A feature in The Dallas Morning News deals with the dysfunctional band shell in New York’s Central Park. * To judge from Ann Landers’ column, our country abounds with dysfunctional households. In Portland, Ore., Woodland Park Hospital offers classes for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families. Cuba’s defenses suffer from dysfunctional radar posts. The virus spreads, Britain’s royal family is dysfunctional. The Kennedy family is dysfunctional. The Grimaldis of Monaco, likewise. In the Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal, Thomas Wolfe’s fictional Gant family was dysfunctional long ago. Time magazine identifies Woody Allen and Mia Farrow as parents of “America’s most dysfunctional nonfamily." Such is the surge of this linguistic wave that it has reached the courts of law. In Midland, Mich., a newly married couple has sued the hotel in which they spent their wedding night. A bellman unexpectedly entered. Now their sex life is dysfunctional. Or so their lawyer says. Gov. Ann Richards gripes about things dysfunctional in Texas. President Clinton finds parts of the economy dysfuntional. On the comic pages, Shoe complains that he is the victim of a dysfunctional wastebasket. A cartoon in The New Yorker depicts a woman talking to her psychoanalyst. Her problem is that she comes from a dysfuntional planet. The marketplace of language is subject to the same faddish forces that affect the tidal pulls of our culture. I look back over a long life that has known mah-jongg and Monopoly, yo-yos and hula hoops, pet rocks, jacks, the sack, and Cabbage Patch dolls. These words-of-the-year have something in common with the most enduring cliches: bottom line, run of-the-mill, state of the art, worldclass, a hard row to hoe. More than a hundred years have passed since anyone literally did a “land-office business” but the tired metaphor survives. When he finally found an uncontroversial nominee for attorney general, President Clinton was “in like Flynn.” Mindless employment of pop word and phrases contributes to the erosion of language. When everything is said to be “dysfunctional,” the word gets stripped of meaning. We enter the world of HumptyDumpty, where words mean what a speaker says they mean, and neither more nor less. Attention! Let us now deploy scouts in search of “resonance” and “resonate.” The Wall Street Journal thought Clinton’s inaugural address “resonated among his audience.” Anna Quindlen of The New York Times wrote that Zoe Baird’s story “had a certain resonance for me.” The Royal Viking cruise line said one’s experiences “resonate long after a cruise has ended.” The works of Marcus Aurelius, says The Wall Street Journal, “find resonance with the new president.” The names of Jewish baseball players, says The New York Times, have resonance for fans. Tallyho! citations, anyone? Virginia Through Both Barrels moral issues as abortion, school prayer and the like low keyed in favor of what they consider broader and more appealing issues such as the ecomony, cutting the size of state government and limiting bureaucracy. At stake is whether the battle will boil over with such intensity at the convention that party unity will be fractured to an extent the entire GOP statewide ticket is put in jeopardy in the general election. The dilemma facing Virginia Republicans is one that the national party must face in the wake of its devastating loss of the White House after 12 years in power. The problem is that finding a way to get the two sides to work together in rela tive harmony is going to be extremely difficult. The importance of doing so, however, was noted recently by Irving Kristol, the founder of the neoconservative movement and someone with nearly universal respect within the party. Kristol said the GOP must embrace within its midst members of the religious movement because “the wave of the future is moving in their direction.” He argued that the movement is helping reawaken the nations’ traditional spirtual values and “if the Republican Party is to survive, it must work at accomodating these people...One way or another in the decades ahead, they will not be denied.” Indeed, Robertson and some supporters contend they make up at least a fifth, if not more, of Republican core voters in the nation and without them the party wrould be able to pitch only a pup tent. Yet within party ranks, and the same holds true in Virginia, there is fear among the regulars about what they consider the zealotry of the fundamentalists and their insistence on dealing passionately with moral is sues in the political process instead of concentrating on ways Republicans can improve government and make it more responsive to the people. »:■ ■ They argue that if someone like Farris is on the ticket, it will turn off sophisticated voters in suburban areas where people are mainly concerned with pocketbook issues and don’t want political candidates > to preach to them about such things as abortion, school prayer, hoine schooling or censorship of materials they consider offensive. "1 ■ Unquestionably, there are many voters among the religious right, in this state, which is headquarters for such famous evengelicals as Robertson and Jerry Falwell. How'to persuade all sides to rally around the ticket after the battle is over will.be a test for Virginia Republican leaders that could have national implications for the beleaguered party. — Editor's note: John Goo! rick r-a former political reporter, is nowffn aide to 1st District Rep.

To the Editor: I would like to take this time to express what a pleasure it has been to serve the citizens of Rappahannock County as a dispatcher for the Rappahannock County Sheriffs office. On Feburary 5, 1993, upon arriving at the Sheriffs office to report to w’ork. Sheriff Woodward called me into his office and advised me that I was being placed on leave and when my leave time ends, my job at the Sheriffs office is being terminated. Upon request for a reason as to why, the Sheriff refused to give me one, after serving under him for almost nine years. Since that time some of my former co-workers say it is because of missing time for sickness. I do not have any control over sickness and death. In less than five years, I have lost my parents, suffered a heart attack, and have had two surgeries. This was not my choice. God is the only one in control of these situation’s. Sheriff Woodward, I also understand that everyone knew that I was being terminated long before I did. But, that was not a real surprise because it has happened, before, to others before me. I would like to thank everyone for all their support, phone calls and the many complements that I have received. This is a large tax expense to tjie citizens of Rappahannock County: I certainly hope that this will be remembered during the next sheriff’s election which is not that far ttff. Only you, the citizens of Rappahannock County can make the change and the difference. CONNIE HUFF HARRIS Flint Hill Reader praises fired dispatcher To the Editor: When I moved to Rappahannock County about three years ago',' 1 needed to call upoi. our Sheriffs'office for some assistance and advice: I spoke to Connie Huff, now Connie Harris. Although busy with her other duties at the time she was very helpful, caring and professional. I came away from that experience feeling very good about our Rappahannock County Sheriffs office. .! I recently learned that Connie is no longer affiliated with the Sheriffs office and not through her awn choosing. I am truly dismayed that we could let a professional of this caliber slip through our fingers. JUDITH LEWIS Flint HilJ

Not pictured is Jonathan Pierce J Vint Hill Farms Station, area lace future without Army By BILL WALSH Rappahannock News Special Writer Just two years ago, area residents were celebrating the return of the soldiers of Vint Hill Farms Station, whose electronic intelligencegathering in the Persian Gulf made Operation Desert Storm’s swift victory possible. 7m This weekthe area is contemplating life without Vint Hill, a future seemingly assured by the installation's inclusion on the military base closure list released March 12. .Vint Hill Farms Station, Fauquier County’s largest employer, has a military population of 846, a government civilian work force of L356, 454 independent contractors, and another 1,170 military family members in residence (as of Jan. 30). dc The commissary and other base facilities have provided much needed services for retired military families throughout the area. -Closing Vint Hill Farm Station will not have much effect in Rappahannock County. A civilian worker who lives in the county said he believes there are probably fewer than six Rappahannock residents who work at the base. A number of retired military people also use the commissary and post exchange, but most say they use it less than they used to. Several retired officers said when they first moved to the county they shopped regularly for groceries at the commissary. They say they are more likely now to shop at area supermarkets, but added that use of the commissary might be more important for enlisted men. Retired Army Col. Ellis Bingham of Amissville, however, said he and his wife still do most of their grocery shopping at the commissary, shopping about twice a month. He said closing the base would be “devastating.” He added that the convenience of Vint Hill was one reason so many military people have retired into this area and added that he sees people who travel from as far away as Winchester and Orange at the Vint Hill commissary when he shops. The list of 31 domestic installations was compiled by the Department of Defense and released by Defense Secretary Les Aspin last hriday. Another. 134 bases across the nation face significant reductions. “I know this proposal . . . will obviously cause considerable anxiety for many members of our work force at Vint Hill Farms Station." Maj. Gen. Otto J. Guenthar, commander of Vint Hill’s parent base at Fort Monmouth. N.J.. said late last week. “However, it is important to keep in perspective that this is only the first step in the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) process. Although Vint Hill Farms Station has been recom Sewer plant modifications are approved The state Health Department has approved plans to make modifications at the Sperryville sewer plant to lessen surge problems. , Currently then; are surges at the plant whenever one of the pumps §ftuts off, as it does approximately every 15 minutes. This means that extra chemicals are used to accomodate that maximum flow. This has been one of the reasons that costs for chemicals have increased drastically since the dechlorinator was installed. “As part of the consent order the Water and Sewer Authority signed following problems at the plant last summer, the authority agreed to study the problem and implement plans to minimize flow surges. Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper, which operated the plant from July until March, submitted a plan to provide a different link between basins as a way to minimize these surges, but several months went by before the Health Department gave its OK to make the changes. • ,Nowr ESS will set up a schedule tppiake the modifications. ^,At Thursday’s meeting the WSA also learned that meeting one of the other requirements of the consent order had cost $2,400. ESS was paid that amount to write a revised operations and maintenance manual for the plant. ' In a letter from member Jimmy Swindler Jr., who missed last week’s meeting because of illness, the WSA learned that ESS will be charging $192 per weekend to operate the plant for four hours each on Saturday and Sunday, and $28 per week for laboratory tests. ESS would also charge $400 per quarter to make quarterly inspections and would be available on an emergency basis for $5f) per hour plus 30 cents per mile. L The WSA agreed to try to move quickly to find another operator for weekends and decided to study the other proposals from ESS.

Royal Ave. • Front Royal, VA Mental health advisory panel devises wish list for county Last Thursday’s meeting to gather input from the community for a Comprehensive Service Plan for the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services, turned into a brainstorming session for members of the local Mental Health Advisory Council. John Waldeck, director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, said they were holding such meetings in each jurisdiction, and encouraged the members to develop a wish list of all the services they'would like to provide. He said that if additional funds are ever available from the state they can only be used for things included in such comprehensive plans, but he also encouraged the members to “go after additional grants if the state can’t fund it. You can’t just sit back and say there’s no money.” Suggestions ranged from in creased transportation services for clients in rural areas, to subsidized housing in Washington that would have apartments for the elderly on the ground floor with young families in need of subsidized housing on the upper floor, who would provide services for the elderly in exchange fo- lower rents. One need Mr. Waldeck said he had encountered in each jurisdiction was “respite,” temporary help for families dealing with troubled members for an hour a week or for a weekend. Jenks Hobson suggested that such services might be modeled-* after services provided through the Hospice, where volunteers are recruited and trained to provide relief for families of the dying. Rose Ann Sharp suggested there should be followup programs in parenting for teen-aged mothers and another child psychologist at family guidance services. Nancy Reeve and the Rev. Hob son said more emphasis in substanct abuse should be on alcohol abuse Mrs. Reeve noted that alcohol abuse is also a problem with the lderlv. She said one problem in trying to provide mental health services for the elderly in that there is a “stigma” connected with mental health issues, and most of the elderly are “scared to death that they will be carried off to Staunton.” Mr. Waldeck said that changes to come with reforms in health care may mean that fewer people will have insurance covering an extended series of counselling sessions. However, as coverage is extended to everybody, more people may have insurance covering a few sessions of counselling. He said this would probably mean that counselors would be more dependent on support groups for follow-up. RAPPAHANNOCK Business & Service Directory -——- • . . : _ WX.

All county offices were closed Monday and many were working short handed on Tuesday morning as snow-covered roads hampered travel. Mr. Marshall said his crew of 19 was aided by six highway workers from Warsaw, east of Fredericksburg on the Northern Neck. They brought two trucks with plows and one motorgrader with a plow with them, he said. Area construction firms also leased out equipment and operators to help clear county roads. Rappawan of Front Royal provided two track loaders (bulldozers with a large front bucket instead of a blade); Blue Ridge construction offered a track loader, a bulldozer and a backhoe ; Richard Compton Construction provided three trucks with snow blades; Jack Jenkins also offered a truck and Robert Clatterbuck of Flint Hill offered a backhoe. All of the equipment was needed, as was a snow blower from the VDOT office in Culpeper. Mr. Marshall said that the snow blower operator reported that the drifts on Route 729 south of Ben Venue were three feet above the top of his equipment, which stands 10 feet tall. Other extremely deep drifts were on Route 618 on both sides of Woodville; on Route 629, Bean Hollow, off the Fodderstack Road; on Route 231 near the old Belle Meade School, and at Massie’s Comer. “We had bad drifting there,” Mr. marshall said. “We got one of our large dump trucks stuck there trying to move the drifting snow and then a (motor)grader got hung up when it tried to pull the truck free.” Many of the drifts were so large that the only practical way to move them was to use large bucket loaders that can pick up cubic yards of snow at a bite and move it out of the way. It is an effective way to move snow, but it takes time. The highway department crews struggled to keep the main roads open Saturday night and Sunday despite drifting snow while diverting equipment to the back roads to answer emergency calls. One home owner in Jenkins Hollow (Route 600) had run out of furnace fuel and called for help on Sunday. While highway equipment worked to clear a path up the hollow, a National Guard tracked armored personal carrier (APC) was diverted to Rappahannock County while on its way back to Winchester. It wasn’t needed here as highway crews managed to push a path through on Rt. 600. £ - Julie Portman was out skiing early Sunday morning near Route 614 in Gid Brown Hollow, when she fell and broke her ankle. Her neigBbor Ricky Pullen used his large fourwheel-drive pickup truck to get her back to her house but was unable to get through the drifts blocking Route 622. JBill Pullen, another neighbor tried his luck with a log skidder and couldn’t get through either. The call for an ambulance came into the Sheriffs Office at 9:21 Sunday morning. The highway department diverted a motor grader with-a large “drift-buster” plow mounted on front to Route 622. At noon a rescue crew reached Ms. Portmarfs house, which is near the intersection of Routes 614 and 622. . The ambulance waited out at U.S. 211 and she was brought out in Ricky Pullen’s pickup. >« Mr. Marshall said that many people called to complain that the snow plows had pushed up a wall of snow across their driveways. “There is simply no way to avoid that problem,” he said. “I have only got so much equipment and so many people and we can only do so much. Our people have worked around the clock; I think we have the best people in the state,” he added. His crews are responsible for nearly 220 miles of highways and byways in Rappahannock County. As a footnote to Mr. Marshall’s comments, Nicki Lynch, the county’s Librarian lives in Clarke County. Her road was still impassable late Tuesday afternoon. Rappahannock Electric Cooperative reported only isolated power outages, mostly in the area bounded by Rock Mills, Viewtown and Castleton. A spokesman said about 26 customers in that area were without power during the storm but power was restored by midnight Sunday.;Potomac Edison reported that about 45 customers had lost power ih Harris Hollow, but again power was restored Sunday. Both companies praised residents for their willingness to help the utility trucks get in to downed lines. Although blocked roads stymied mail carriers on Monday, the news still got through. Washington resident Louise Van Dort praised John Semerling for delivering the Washington Post in the town on Saturday morning. , “He got here about 8 a.m. on Saturday and he was here about 11 a.m. on Sunday. I could not believe he got through,” she said. J. ►Zoning From Page A-l The Washington Town Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on revisions to the town’s zoning ordinance on Monday, March 22, at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse. The planners have been reviewing the current zoning ordinance for months and asked County Administrator John McCarthy to review the document as well. 001 Louise Van Dort, chairman of the planning commission, praised Mr. McCarthy earlier this week for his work. “He really helped clean up the language and make it more concise," she said. Washington VFD offers calendar The Washington Volunteer Fire Department is producing an Anniversary/Birthday Calendar for the community of Rappahannock County as a fund raising activity. These calendars allow you to give the special gift of listing a loved one’s birthday or anniversary with the additional gift of a useful calendar noting community activites and special events. Anyone interested in placing a name or names or events on the calendar should provide the fire department with names (as they should appear on the calendar), the dates and whether it is a birthday or an anniversary. The department has a form for those who need one. Send the data along with a check to WVFD, P.O. Box 238, Washington, Va, 22747. Anniversaries, Birthdays, and Special Events will be noted on the calendar for the period of September, 1993 - December, 1994. ' Cost: One date noted: $5; Three dates: $10. You will receive one calendar for each date you purchase. Extra calendars may be ordered and will be on sale for $5 each at the Fourth of July celebration. Extra calendar order forms will be available at businessess located in Washington, Va. . “I hope that it is more readable so that the average Joe will be aljle to pick it up and read through it apd move logically from section to section,” McCarthy said. The planners have proposed very few substantive changes to the ordinance. •; The proposed setback requirements are more straight forward and easier to understand, as is tie link between building height apd setback. The planners are proposing that the height of a building be measured from the “hip” of the roof: that poiht about 2/3 of the way up that limits effective use of the space. The language is designed to prevent property owners from proposing blocky buildings with flat rodfs right at the building height limit in order to gain the maximum number of floors. “This way a building can still have a peaked roof line above the height limit without seriously affecting the floor space,” she said. * The planners have proposed some changes for retail uses of existing space. The primary change is lo raise from 700 square feet to 1,000 square feet the maximum size of a retail space allowed by right in the village mixed use and village services zoning districts. The planners also understand that parking in town isn’t getting any better, said Ms. Van Dort. The planners discussed several options, including off-site parking, she added. In the end they decided to require lVa parking spaces for each dwelling unit in new construction (rounded up to the next whole number) and the same amount for eaqji 250 square feet of retail space. ►Schools I From Page A-l help the speech teachers. Piedmont District representative Frances Thornton seconded the motion which passed unanimously. • 1 Chairman Beverly Massie noted that the state had been recommending the point system for 'scheduling speech teachers since 1989, although the state had not actually changed the requirements. ' Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole suggested that future budgets should include more funds for maintenance. He noted that unexpected maintenance problems come up each year jeopardizing the budget.

Spring comes on Saturday! Slarch snows have challenged Spring. Above Julia Bennet, Sophie, Jackie and Laura Massie show off their white horse at a special farm near Huntly. Draped in snow, the cider pot waits for warmer days in Sperryville. Below, right, a car travels carefully down the one lane notch cut through the snow drifts on Route 729 near Ben Venue by a snow blower. At lower left a patio chair lies half buried in the snow. Photos by Cindy Mahan New faces and old exhibit at gallery By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The Middle Street Gallery’s March exhibition displays the work of eleven artists. “New Faces/Old Favorites” is a show that represents the artists unevenly, since we see only one piece by Nina Moore, who makes pictures and constructions of handmade paper, while there are several examples of Kim McLaughlin’s jewelry, fabric dolls and pictures. Most important, however, is that the other nine artists show enough of their work to give us a good idea of who they are. Bruce Bundell’s two photographs at first glance might be mistaken for realistic paintings, especially his “Vermillion Farm”, a shot of a field of bright orange broomsedge on the horizon of which are two red farm buldings, an old globular red cedar and the bare branches of a few deciduous trees. The gleaming life of the grass makes a paradoxical statement of wealth in a meager situation. Connie Canby is both a realistic creator and one who revels in abstraction. I feel that responses to her approach are probably more subjective than are those to many of the other artists in the show. Her strongest piece, “Permeability,” is an abstract graphite oilstick drawing full of movement and energy, beautifully, brightly colored, and reminiscent of a child’s drawing. There is a good deal to look at in this picture but it doesn’t appeal to me. Jeanne Drevas’ five examples of her developing ceramic techniques are dominant features in the exhibition - suggestive, funny, sensuous and occasionally seductive. Having commented on her work to the exclusion of others in my review of the last show, I will say no more. Go and see, and keep your hands off if you can. William Francis, a visiting Canadian, exhibits two striking oil paintings on canvasthat evince an interest in perspective and an ability to create drama from mundane scenes. One is a picture viewed from behind the counter of a drug store, where most of the scene is reflected, and therefore reversed, in a mirror. What we see directly are depictions of a huge milkshake maker, syrup dispensers and glasses. Behind then are' mirror images of several figures, a customer Review and perhaps a waitress, smaller than the drink paraphernalia because furthere away. This picture would appeal to pop art enthusiasts. Another painting is a view down the stairwell of a rooming house or an apartment, which includes at close range a floor and a half with a cat grooming itself in an entry at the bottom and an interested occupant, apparently a housewife, bending over a railing at the top, perhaps trying to coax the cat to come upstairs. This stark “photo shot” is a work of art owing to the sheer determination of its creator. Paintings like Francis’ can be enjoyed one at a time, but I believe a room full of them would be tiresome and overpowering. Again, I’m going to have to stint several of the participating artists, but I want to comment briefly on the contrast two of the water colorists make with their pictures. Douglas Teller’s small images of the mountain landscapes so familiar to us are more suggestive of hills, trees, water and a few man-made objects than substantial portrayals of them. While I can’t define the term “minimalist”, used to describe some art, it was a word that occurred to me as I looked at his three pictures. The skies seemed almost more substantial and realistic than did his forms. I noticed this because the size of his pictures encourages one to move close to them, but upon inspection, the scenes don’t become more pictorial than when viewed at a distance. Martha Sheets Knight’s four little colored drawings are just larger than minatures. One of them is a picture of the Rappahannock Historical Scoiety building on Gay St. The other three show old farm sheds set amid late summer flowers and yellowing trees. Looking closely at them, one sees a concern with the detatils of everything. The over-all feeling is one of nostalgia. They, and two other three-dimensional fantasy images, might well be book illustrations. The show has many other offerings worthy of note, such as the telling cartoons of Jeff McNelly, the water colors of vegetative mysteries created of tropical plants by Margaret Halgren, the imaginative stained glass creations of Ralph Gonzales, whose use of a variety of glasses, joined with soldered-over copper foil, make the most of both front and back lighting, and Nina Moore’s delicate, water blue and white paper design, “Thaw time.” -I took special pleasure in Kim McLaughlin’s many hand made crafts - jewelry that suggests in some instances the opulence of a Byzantine empress, her character dolls with the charm of authentic folk figures, and her cloth fabrications of fairy tale and American Indian inspiration. For these last, I felt she needed more definitive framing, and I wonder vvjiat time will do - “Moth and rust doth corrupt!” To take in everything this show provides, one will need more than one visit before March 28 when it closes. Pridey Prejudice to play at Theatre The Christendom Players of Christendom College, Front Royal, will perform Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice on Friday, March 26, and Saturday, March 27, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 28, at 3 p.m. at The Theatre at Washington. The play, adapted for the stage by Helen Jerome in 1934, proved a great success in London and New York. The 1939 Hollywood film, starring Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier, was based on this adaptation. Austen’s story is universally loved for the delightful characters of Miss Elizabeth (or Lizzie) Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Mrs. Bennet, the ever-scheming mother of Lizzie, learns of the recent arrival of Mr. Darcy and his friend Mr. Charles Bingley, both fresh from the aristocratic set in London. Immediately she eyes the two eligible and wealthy young men as possible matches for at least one of her daughters. Soon the sparks fly between Lizzie and Darcy, who make up one of the most engaging of all literary couples. Both of them have mixed feelings, clearly attracted to the other yet just as clearly trying to fight off the attraction. Lizzie cannot bear Darcy’s apparent condescension and arrogance. As for Mr. Darcy, his superior social class cannot blind him to the wit, intelligence, and “beautiful eyes" of the attractive Miss Bennet. The tension between the two, as they grow in self-knowledge, is offset by the less complicated 'ove between Lizzie’s angelic sister, Jane, and Darcy’s likable friend, Charles Bingley. Presiding over it all is the volatile Mrs. Bennet, who alternates between raptures of delight and fits of hysterics. With Pride and Prejudice, The Christendom Players put on their fourth production, with a cast of 26 ranging in age from 17 to 24. The Players began as a student initiative and remain as such, coached by an alumna of the college, Leslie Cummings. Two seniors, Deirdre Brien and Andrew Youngblood, head the cast in the lead roles of Elizabeth and Darcy. Tickets for Pride and Prejudice, to be performed the last weekend of March are $5 each for the Friday and Saturday evening and Sunday matinee performances. Group rates are available. For information or reservations call The Theatre at Washington, at (703) 675-1253. The Theatre is located at the intersection of Gay and Jett Street in the town of Washington.

The sea is a treacherous beauty, the glistening waters disguising all manner of danger. It may be difficult to gauge the proximity of a ship to the shore, where a sailor might encounter sandbars and rocks spelling disaster. The lighthouse is a bright beacon ... a signal in the sea. God s house is a beacon ... a signal in a world which, despite its beauty. can also be deceivingly treacherous to those who live in the twilight of temptation without God's guiding light. This Sabbath, search for a steeple, and enter the sanctuary therein. You will learn of God s loving care as you study His Holy word "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path" (Ps. 119:105). God will guide you safely to shore.

Look for Virginia products By HELEN W. SMITH -f Extension Agent, Home Economics . * Agriculture in Virginia today is big business. In fact, it’s Virginia’s biggest business, a highly diverse, $20 billion-plus industry that incorporates more than 250 commodities. And the person who makes it all possible is the Virginia farmer. Virginia farmers are diversified with field crops and fruit accounting for 30 percent, poultry and eggs 25 percent, cattle and calves 20 percent, dairy 13 percent, nursery/floriculture 5 percent, with the reminder spread over such enterprises as horses, honey, and trout. Leading Farm Products 11 Virginia’s ten leading farm income-producing enterprises in 1991 were cattle, broilers, milk, tobacco, turkeys, soybeans, peanuts, hogs, eggs and com for grain (1990 figures), according to Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. A Typical Farmer * If farm statistics were distributed evenly over all of the Comonwealth (which, of course, they aren’t), here’s what a typical Virginia farm and farmer would look like: • He or she is approximately 56 years old. • Their farm covers 198 acres and is worth an average of $270,000. • After production expenses, net income is $10,600, including government payments and miscellaneous income. • Farm machinery and equipment are worth approximately $32,000. • An acre of farm land is worth approximately $1,363. • Expenses rum approximately $117 per day, seven days a week, compared with daily expenses of $102 per day two years ago. • He or she generates $53,000 in gross farm income, with government payments accounting for only one percent of this total. Most of that income is spent in Virginia to cover production expenses, which are almost $43,000 (1991 figures). • Total farm gross income amounts to $2.4 million (1991). • The producer receives four cents for a one-pound loaf of white bread selling for 70 cents in the supermarket (1989). • For one pound of choice beef, retailing for $2.81, the producer receives $1.68. • Broiler chicken producers receive 51 cents of the average retail price of 90 cents per pound of frying chickens. • A half-gallon of milk retailing for $1.42 returns to the producer HOME ECONOMICS about 64 cents (1990). • For one pound of pork selling at retail for $2.13, hog producers receive 87 cents in the equivalent quantity of live animals (1990). • A Virginia fanner creates about four off-farm private enterprise jobs in the state. Virginia fanners produce the following commodities, among many others: tobacco, soybean, peanuts, small grains, fruits, Corn grain and silage, hay, potatoes, vegetables, nursery products, flowers, watermelons and cantaloupes, mushrooms, cotton, cattle/calves, broilers, milk, turkeys, hogs, eggs, sheep and wool, horses and mules, honey, mink, trout, hybrid striped bass, catfish. The U.S. agricultural labor force, which includes forestry, hunting, and fishing, represents 0.3 percent of the world’s agricultural labor force, yet it produces 40 percent of the world’s com, 15 percent of the world’s cotton, 50 percent of the world’s soybean, 10 percent of the world’s wheat, 25 percent of the world’s beef, and 11 percent of the world’s pork. In 1991, the U.S. exported $37.6 billion worth of farm products, cutting our deficit in nonfarm trade by about 14 percent. The quality, quantity, and variety of foods we enjoy today are important factors in imporving the quality of life in the U.S. Since the 1900s, the average life span of a child bom in the U.S. has increased from 47.3 years to 74.7 years. Yet even with the safety, wholesomeness, and variety of our food supply, Americans spend only 10 percent of their personal disposable income of food, while the French spend 16 percent, the Japanese 18 percent, Mexicans 32 percent, Chinese 48 percent, and Indians 53 percent. This week’s recipes feature Virginia agricultural products. Meat and Potato Chili 1 tablespoon oil 3/4 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1/2-inch cubes .-r* Flint Hill residents entertain Mrs. Joan Patton of Stephens City spent Thursday and Friday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Lillard.

Our sympathy to his family. Our sympathy to Emory Russell and family on the death of his By POLLY N.AYLOR 987-8136 brother, Bill Russell. The folks around the Flint Hill area are thankful for telephones during the blizzard over the weekend. As the rest of the county everyone has been busy digging but with no company over the weekend.

When not done right, pruning practices could leave poor growth and form. Early training of landscape trees in the first three to five years helps to aviod many later problems. This training can begin at planting time. Nurseries Usually Prune Most trees purchased from a reliable nursery already have been pruned to enhance the characteristic growth pattern of the species. Therefore, the only pruning required at planting should be to correct damage to twigs or limbs incurred during moving and planting- ingThe radical removal of 25 percent to 30 percent of the canopy is required only when planting a bareroot tree. Balled-and-burlapped and container-grown trees do not require this severe pruning. Bare-root trees require the pruning back of the top to help foster a new balance between the crown and the roots. The best practice at planting time is to prune back only those branches that are clearly unwated. Included in this list of potential undesirable are borken branches, branches that cross one another, branches that emerge at very narrow angles from the trunk, and overly vigorous shoots that emerge from around the base of the tree. Most shade trees have a primary central trunk. If the tip of this een tral leader is damaged and must be pruned, be sure it is still taller than any adjacemt branches when you are done. Otherwise, an undesirable double-leader may develop. If the tree was handled properly by the nursep\ you should be able to get by with little to no pruning at planting. Location of Tree Determines Height of Limbs More vigorous training should be done only as the tree requires it. The position of a limb on a trunk remains essentially unchanged as a tree grows. Thus, a decision must be made to determine the appropriate height for the lowest branch to be kept, based on the use of that tree in the landscape. Small trees of five to six feet, do not interfere with much of anything. They should be left alone until lower branches start to interfere with movement. This may not happen for many years after the tree was planted depending on the species involved. If the tree is set in a lawn, make sure the lowest limb is above the head of the person who will be mowing, usually six feet. Likewise, trees set near the street or driveway must be pruned to accommodate vehicular traffic, usually at 10 to 12 feet. Trees around a patio should not have any branches lower than eight or 10 feet. The lowest limb is the beginning of the framework of the tree. While looking down on the crown, select five to seven branches that are ap proximately evenly spaced around the trunk. These limbs are the initial scaffolding of that framework. No single limb in the scaffold should grow directly over another, because this would cause excessive shading of the lower limb. Also, try to select branches with a very wide angle of attachment with the trunk. Always Cut Along Collar of Branch When pruning to remove branches, always make the cut along the collar - the area of raised bark near the base of the branch. This normally means making a cut that slants downward and outward along the branch. There is no need to coat these cuts with pruning paint as research has shown that healing actually occurs more rapidly if cuts are exposed to air. The angle of attachment of limbs can be improved by weighting dowrt the end of the limb with a heavy weight for a single growing season. The wider angle of attachment that Will result will provide a stronger connection to the trunk and thus reduce the likeihood of limb breakage. Developing a sound framew'ork of well-spaced branches will result in attractive, vigorous growth that will quickly enhance and add value to your home landscape.

Spring festival in Warrenton The Old Town Warrenton Spring Festival, to be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 15 is accepting applications from vendors who wish to participate. Space is limited, applications will only be accepted until the end of March. Last year, all 230 exhibitor spaces were reserved long before th deadline. Begun in 1978, the festival has grown to become one of the largest street festivals in Virginia. More than 14,000 people visited the festival, a carefully orchestrated eightblock street fair with arts, crafts, live entertainment, children’s activities and ethnic food. Warrenton, Virginia, is located in the Piedmont region about 45 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. Many visitors are familiar with the area due to the historic Fauquier Springs spa and the many horse events in the region. Historic Old Town Warrenton lies amidst antebellum homes and maintains a charming village atmosphere. The architecturally protected town center is already familiar to travellers from the surrounding Virgina communities as well as many from Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
