Katzen Ready To Attack Budget By SHARON KILPATRICK x Rappahannock News Staff Writer With a week to go before he is sworn in as a new member of the House of Delegates, Jay Katzen is still waiting to hear what committees he will be assigned to. He said in an interview that he had requested to be put on the Corporations, Industry and Business Committee, Labor and Commerce Committee, the Education Committee and the Finance Committee. He added that it may be two weeks before he knows his committee assignments. Del. elect Katzen said he will work to try to improve telephone service in Rappahannock County. “We’re looking into precedents elsewhere, ways to solve the problem,” he said. He said he will also work to get impact fee authority for the three counties in his district, and he will work to support the agricultural lab in Warrenton. For Warren County, he said he would work to establish a “free trade zone” in Front Royal where foreign companies could bring in components to be assembled duty free and then export them also duty free. He said he will also work to establish an “entrepreneur zone” in Front Royal so employers could get credit for investing in training and hiring unemployed people there. Mr. Katzen said he wants to work on improving the formula for state aid for education and to require that lottery funds be spent on education, but he said he believes money can be saved by cutting the number of employees at the Department of Education. He said he would support the bill to delete funds for the-office building for the state lottery. He said he wants to make interest on college loans tax deductible and to solve the problem of federal retirees who are owed money by the state for taxes collected on their federal pensions. Mr. Katzen said all his suggested bills will be sent to Governor-elect George Allen’s transition team to be reviewed. The transition team wants to avoid duplicate - bills, he said. Mr. Katzen also has several suggestions for bills to be offered in a special session Mr. Allen wants to call later this spring to deal with prison and crime issues. He said he wants inmates required to work, mandatory life sentences vrithout parole for those convicted of three serious crimes, and making driving on a revoked ivappanannocK nicws Man moio/nnay \ianan Ester Settle founded the local Cancer Support Group Supervisors Learn State Biri^t Calls For New Fees for Landfills NJ I Of Ml By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors considered what effect the new state budr get is likely to have on the county at Monday’s meeting. County Administrator John McCarthy said that there are two proposals in the budget that will affect the county if they are in the final budget. One would enact a $10 per ton tipping fee for trash for every landfill in the state. $3.50 of the fee would go to the state, which would retain 4 percent and ^return the rest to the localities in block grants based on “fiscal stress.” Mr. McCarthy noted that because Rappahannock County is rated quite wealthy on the state’s local composite index of ability to fund education, the county would be unlikely to ever qualify for these funds. $6.50 of the fee would be retained by the locality with the landfill. Mr. McCarthy said governorelect George Allen said this is a “hidden tax” but hasn’t said he will veto it. Board members objected to this proposed fee. % “I think it’s ludicrous to make this proposal,” Chairman Hubert Gilkey said. “It’s another way for the bureaucracy to get bigger and bigger. Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham agreed. “You’re talking about a whole lot of money,” he said. Another proposal in outgoing Governor Douglas Wilder’s budget would eliminate state funds from the compensation board for fringe benefits for constitutional officers and their assistants. Instead there would be an increase in the sheriffs processing fees for papers served with a larger portion retained by the locality. Mr. McCarthy said Sheriff John Henry Woodward is trying to deter mine how much would be collected by that means. He said the sheriff said it would be less than the locality g* would lose through the reductions in funds from the compensation board. Although the supervisors did not mention it, there is one piece of good news in the proposed budget. The Local Composite Index (LCI) for Rappahannock would drop from .6999 to .6420. Instead of ranking in the top 10 in ability to pay for education, Rappahannock would be ranked 13th, but still higher than any of the sxurrounding counties. The LCI fw Fauquier would be .6304, for Culpeper .4086, for Madison .3599, for Rage .3128, and for Warren .423b. The lower composite index for Rappahannock should mean that the state is picking up a larger share of the cost of funding the state’s “Standards of Quality” for education. The budget can be>amended, and the amounts of aid the county can expect won’t be known until March when the General Assembly completes work on the budget. The supervisors approved adver-, rising a request for proposals for trash hauling to private landfills in the state. Mr. McCarthy said Fauquier is sending out a request for proposals for hauling from a transfer station, but their request does not include hauling Rappahannock’s • trash. Col. Bingham said the bid could later be modified to include Rappahannock. Mr. McCarthy said the supervisors have to consider four options, building a new cell at the landfill, contracting separately for trash hauling, contracting with Fauquier for trash hauling, and putting county trash in a new cell in Fauquier if that county constructs one. , He said the current cell can last until summer, or even later if the county is going to construct a new cell, since Rappahannock would be ■allowed to pile trash higher on the current cell, if that is only temporary. He said with tipping fees in private landfills dropping, the option of having trash hauled out of county may be better. The request for proposals will involve hauling trash from the landfill and the dumpster sites in Scrabble and Huntly, but it will say that those sites may be changed. “We’re going to have to deal with changing the sites,” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said. “Tnly need to be fenced and manned. I’d hate to see us put the taxpayers money into them.” He noted that the county has already had problems with people putting hazardous chemicals into the site at Huntly, and there have been fires there also. “We know we have a hazardous situation, and we’re ignoring it because we want people to have a convenient place to take trash,” he said. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes asked how much additional liability the county will have if county trash is hauled to a private landfill. Mr. McCarthy and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke both said the landfill owner’s insurance and the hauler’s insurance would be called on first, but the county would have a liability. “They won’t go after the smaller guy first," Mr, McCarthy said. The supervisors agreed they would have to consider insurapce coverage in evaluating any bid they receive for hauling. Mr. McCarthy noted that the work has been completed for the Part B application for^he new landfill cell. The supervisors agreed to pay the $14,300 application fee that must be sent to the state. See Trash, Page 5 Support Group Aids Cancer Survivors By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Two and a half years ago, Ester Settle of Flint Hill heard those dreaded words from her doctor, ‘‘You have breast cancer.” “After you know that you have a life threatening disease, your priorities change,” said Mrs. Settle. “I have gotten more involved with my church, and my family has been very supportive,” she added. Mrs. Settle was treated with chemotherapy and continues to take pills. Her cancer is in remission right now, but she can’t help but be apprehensive when she goes for follow-up visits. • A major source of help for Mrs. Settle has been the Cancer Support Group which she helped form last fall. “When Helen Smith became president of the local chapter of the American Cancer Society last year, she asked me if I would help start a support group,” she said. The group is for people who have cancer or have had cancer. The group meets twice a month, and is led by facilitator Bob Treanor, a mental health therapist from Family Guidance Services in'Washington. Mrs. Settle said, “It is really important for people who have been diagnosed with cancer and are doing well to come to the group too. It is good to have the support and en couragement. It is so important to have people to really talk to who know exactly what you are experiencing, because they have been through it themselves.” As the facilitator, Bob Treanor helps members of the group get in touch with their feelings, and helps make it easier for people to open up. “It has been a delightful experience for me. The group is made up of cancer survivors, and they are a very upbeat group,” he said. “I think it makes a big difference if they have a good attitude and if they can meet with a group of people who are there or have been there. The Cancer Support Group is my favorite group to work with,” he added. The three main purposes of the American Cancer Society are to educate, provide services and do fundraising. According to Helen Smith, president of the local chapter, one out of four people’s lives will be touched by cancer. In Virginia, 24.000 to 26,000 are estimated to die from cancer annually, and it is the leading killer of people over the age of 50. One out of nine women are expected to get breast cancer. Mammograms are especially important for women 40 and over as a way to detect the disease in the early stages, when it is easier to treat. Smoking cigarettes causes 390.000 deaths in this country annually. Out of 100 smokers, one will be murdered, two will die as a result of traffic accidents, and 25 will die from tobacco use, usually lung cancer. Cancer of the kidney is also common with smokers. One statistic that is encouraging is that fifty percent of all people diagnosed with cancer will continue to lead a normal life after treatment. Educating people about cancer has helped more and .more survive the disease. “I am really proud that Ester Settle started the Cancer Support Group,” said Helen Smith. The group Tnpets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the mdnth from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington: The meeting takes place in either the parish hall or downstairs, whichever is available. There have been between five and nine people attending the meetings held so far. New members are welcome to show' up at meetings. The next one is scheduled for Jan. 11.

Flint Hill Restaurant Honored } BY CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer For the second year in a row, Four and Twenty Blackbirds restaurant in Flint Hill has been included in the Washingtonian Magazine’s prestigious list of 100 Very Best Restaurants. “It is exciting to be included on the list because we have been here for such a short period of time,” said co-owner Vinnie DeLuise. The restaurant has been an enormous success since its opening in April, 1990. It is also quite an honor to be included in the list because of the distance from Washington, D.C. Over half of the restaurants listed are in the District of Columbia, and the vast majority of the others are in the suburbs. ’ , The Inn at Little Washington, rated with the highest accolade of? four stars, also made the list. Only three other restaurants out of 100 are also jated with four stars: Galileo, Jean-Louis, and LeLion d’Or, all in the district. For the third time, The Inn received five stars for the restaurant and five stars for the accommodations from the Mobil Travel Guide. It is the only establishment in the United State to be so honored. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Four and Twenty Blackbirds in Flint Hill wins recognition. * - I ^ .

Artist Makes Music and Clears thct Roads 2Scratch' Clanagan Wins Success in New Endeavor w. By CINDY MAHAN . Rappahannock Ncw> Staff Writer ' Most people in Rappahannock County know David “Scratch” Clanagan as a musician. He plays guitar ,ai)d is the lead singer with the gospel group Free Spirit. Not only does he have music in his soul, he also has art in his soul. Mr. Clanagan had always enjoyed painting as a child, but had ne ver been serious about it until two years ago. In that brief period of time, he has been very successful at seUing his paintings. During 1992, ftp sold 15 paintings, and in 1993 he so|d seven. Most have been sold by ftim personally, but some have also been sold in galleries. He shows his work in the Framecraft Gallery on Main Street in Warrenton, and at the'Comer Gallery on Main Street in Front Royal. , * v -- His favorite subjects to paint are bams and mills. When the urge to paint first hit him, Mr. Clanagan ■Stopped in a store in Culpeper to buy some painting supplies. “The prices of 'the oil paints were $8 to $10 a tube. That was too much!” he said. 4crylic paints were much more reasonably priced, and that is his paint. ing medium today. He paints on canvas and canvas board, and does .ftope to experiment with oil paints in the .near future. t ., Mr. Clanagan has no formal training in painting, but he does .have two mentors who are more .than happy to help him in any way they can: Dan Lewis and Laurie Marshall, both members of the Middle Street Gallery in Washington.. ,. He approached Ms. Marshall one time when he had trouble painting a shadow in one'df his paintings. With • her'help, he learned how to do it. , - The first painting that Mr. Clanagan did was of a barn and outbuildings in the snow. “Everyone who saw it said I should have it .checked out by a professional. So I showed it to Dan Lewis at the Middje Street Gallery. He said he .thought I had potential,” said Mr. Clanagan. On the same day he was in the gallery, an art collector and dealer was in the gallery and saw Mr. Clanagan’s painting. He bought it on the spot. One of the reasons the purchaser bought it was that he was so impressed with his style of painting. Since that time, the same person has purchased two more of Mr. Clanagan’s paintings. Mr. Clanagan usually paints from photographs, which he has taken, or sometimes from someone else’s. One such painting was executed from a photograph in a book about the people who lived on the land which is now Shenandoah National Park. The photograph was of a house in which some friends’ ancestors had lived. Mr. Clanagan did a painting of it and added in some surroundings, such as a stream and trees. Also, the original photo was in black and white, but the painting showed the scene in color. Mr. Clanagan donated a painting to the Cancer Society fundraiser last year. The highest bidder was given the option of taking home the donated painting or having a painting done by Mr. Clanagan of their own home. Newbill Miller of Washington was the highest bidder, and he opted for the painting of his home. Several other local residents have also had Mr. Clanagan paint their homes. , “I like to paint when I am in the mood. Sometimes I have laid out all the painting ^applies and tried to paint, but it jftst doesn’t work unless I am in the mood,” said Mr. Clanagan. He claims that it is more fun and productive to paint without a time limit, which he has when he is doing a painting on commissipn for someone. One painting of Mr. Clanagan’s which most county residents have probably seen is of the Treasurer’s Office, and it hangs in the Treasurer’s Office. This painting has proved to be a good advertisement for his artwork. Mr. Clanagan is a native of Rappahannock County. He has been employed by the Virginia Department Photo Courtesy of Bluemont Concert Series Bluemont presents the Pan Masters Steel Band. ^ Bluemont Dance Is Saturday \ • This Saturday evening Rappahannock Elementary School will be transformed into a Caribbean island paradise.

Development plans must be reconcitecTwith the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the , essential roadmap to our future. 8 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated because education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3) New business and clean industry should be sought to provide new employment opportunities for our residents and their children. But economic expansion should not come at the expense of our clean air and water. These are far more important than a larger tax base, \ Tourism and the business that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent county, should be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strength and spirit of the county’s heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local v ’) government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and actively investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials.

We decided to fly in and out of Orlando airport rather than Tampa, but we will never do it again! W Anyone who is unsure of the merits of building a new Disney park simply needs to see the sprawl that has totally consumed Orlando. The roads are totally incapable of handling the traffic, and all one sees is one strip mall after another and more fast food places than are believable. Before any elected officials decide that the proposed Disney park is a great idea, we ought to offer to pay their fare to Orlando to see what a mess it has become. BRIAN E. FOSS # Amissville Puppies Abandoned To the Editor: I’ve seen dogs come into The Shelter in terrible condition, but none any worse than two puppies who came in on Dec. 30. The two, five week old puppies were left at the Scrabble Dump to freeze and starve to death. A kind gentleman found the pups, wrapped them in a warm shirt, and brought them to me at the Shelter. They were almost frozen, starving, and full of mange. I immediately sent them to Dr. Clarke in Luary for medical attention. Dr. Clarke informed me later that afternoon the puppies were improving. They were eating like littre pigs, given their shots, wormed, and dipped for mange. We are all praying the pair will live to be healthy dogs. Thanks to two very special ladies-Shelby and Doris-the puppies will be fostered in a loving and safe fome until they are well enough to be adopted. If people would only spay or neuter their pets, they wouldn’t have to give or throw away unwanted offspring. Spaying or neutering is a one-time permanent thing that saves hundreds of lives. I can’t imagine the type of person who would throw away two living, helpless creatures when they are unable to fend for themselves. I would like for that person to know that what goes around, comes around, and God sees everything, and forgets nothing. MARY WALTERS Rappahannock Animal Shelter Manager Cafe Supported To the Editor: I heard over Christmas that the Village Cafe had received an extension to operate until June from the Inn, which owns the property. It is a little disturbing to know tKat the Inn owns yet andtfaer piece of the town. This promptecTtaie to think about what it really means to have the Cafe remain where it is. I’m comfortable being able to take my children there to eat because of its relaxed and easy atmosphere. When I first heard that the Inn was going to move in, I enjoyed the idea of a different taste to the coffee and maybe something different to eat. But I decided that our town meeting place doesn’t need a face lift or a change in menu. This establishment is Central to our living town. I can understand the desire to expand, but this feels v like encroachment. This change is not for the people in our town but for the people who come to visit. What the Inn does is tasteful, creative, and luxurious but enough is enough. The fact that Washington is a living town-as well as historic and lovingly preserved~is its attraction to those who come to visit. I don’t think the Inn’s cafe can offer us anything more meaningful than what the peo* pie of the Village Cafe already do. * I BARBARA SHERWOODWashingtot) ?

He was typical for his type. His every move denoted evil and treachery. Most descriptions say he is deceptive, secretive. But his silent, sinuous ways were very natural-he was, after all, a Black Snake. His demeanor included six feet of slithering movement and this didn’t promote much in the way of making friends. Snakes are not my forte. My dislike of them is as strong as the next guy’s. I still don’t love them, but Barney taught me respect for the things I don’t know. At first my regard for Barney grew out of selfpreservation. My husband and I recently moved into an area where our nearest neighbors included copperheads and rattlesnakes. The local farmersand they should know-had it that Black Smakes were a predator of copperheads and the like and we should leave them alone. It was hard. There’s something about a six-foot slithering snake in the yard that makes the skin crawl. But I decided to watch from a distance and leave him alone. I had plenty of opportunities to do this, seeing him progress along side of the house, crossing our driveway or going up our twin oak in the yard. It took great forbearance to stifle the desire to get a hoe and hack him to pieces. There was only one confrontation-we both came around the same comer from opposite directions. Coming face-to-face around that corner was frightening, but he just kept his head suspended in air, not moving, until I backed away and gave him space. Then he continued on his way. I’ve met a few Barney’s in my life-time. By that I mean, people whose world I’d never enter, but for some reason or other our paths would cross for a moment. One was a gang leader whose name I’ve since forgotten, but someone I’ll never forget. It was one of those moments when racial hatred was turned into another kind of communication between one individual to another, hatred turned into respect. From that moment, he’d show up from nowhere in my work as a si^ pervisor in a boy’s club and help me discipline the little ones. Another time, a gentleman I’d see, who I admit didn’t look like he’d changed clothes in quite a while, used to play an instrument at the metro stop where I’d go to work. He was so good you felt it way only right to leave money in the cup in front of him. Then for the longest while he disappeared. His music was much missed. Then, when my husband and I were walking in another part of the city, I saw him. I yelled something like, “Hello, we’ve missed you. Where have you been.” Of course, since I’d never met him, he didn’t know me, but something in his face said that having someone miss him was a new experience. He pulled back his outstreched cup and we exchanged a few pleasantries of the day. I’ve not had that feeling of regarding a stranger as a good friend very often. The particulars of this next account are not my own, but what someone told me. I’ve added it to my list of friends in Barney’s world. After months of not sleeping, a man gave an account to his fiiend of a reoccuring nightmare of seeing the face of an enemy he’d shot in a war. The nightmare was hearing again and again what his enemy said to him before he died, “I forgive you.” The friend responded that he had been touched by a very special and profound experience, the forgiveness of an enemy. The link between all of these situations is that bound which is formed between those that are very different. Across those barriers of differences comes something that is very meaningful. It also speaks of a universality of values, however deep within an individual, that comes our and is shared under certain circumstances. Perhaps the hope of manking if finding that key that unlocks th& door UeSlose shared values within each of us... to trust, that howeVer hidden they may be, each maiif woman and child has them. And to love enough to labor, as much as we may labor for our most treasured objects, to see them. © time machine From fhe Rappahannock News bock when* 30 YEARS AGO Jan. 2,1964 Mrs. T.M.

Craftsman Donates Decoration former Resident Gives to White House Tree xA ‘1/: ■ G . ■ . 'By MICHAEL BIRCHENALL Rappahannock Newt SUIT Writer In early September more than letters from the White House it to craft artists across the ited States. Peter Exton, a woodturner living in Herndon and formerly a Rappahannock County resident, received le of the official documents. ‘I didn’t open it at first,” Mr. Exsaid. “I had no reason to be getig mail from the president. I thought it might be a new and more clever way to get a Visa card. ” * The letter contained an invitation fiiom Ann Stock, White House social secretary, to participate in celebrating the “Year of the American qraft.” | The craft artists were asked to donate original works of art that \4ould decorate the White House Cjhristmas tree. J The more than 18 foot tall Fraser fir is located in the Blue Room, decoSited with ornaments executed in ve different mediums, (fiber, ceramic, glass, metal and wood,) that Vary in size texture and design. About 7,500 ornaments were contributed to be used during the holiejay season. • The ornaments will become part df the collection that is used every year at the White House. When Mr. ixton called to find out if his oma Photo courtesy of Hugh Exton Peter Exton’s Ornament 1 w 1 Rappahannock News Staff Pho»o/Hector Emanuel Peter Exton turns wood in his studio in Herndon. t la** ment had arrived safely, a member of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s press staff told him that they were deluged with ornaments. The response was so great that 22 Christmas trees were decorated in the White House. Each artist had to agree to the conditions set forth in the letter. Ornaments could be no wider than five inches and no longer than 18 inches and could not weigh more than 12 ounces. The ornaments were to be hung with gold cord. The three-dimensional design could npt be reproduced for any financial gain by the artist or in any way be used with a commercial association with the president. Each artist was to treat the agreement confidentially until the White House made the official announcement of the Christmas display. The First Lady introduced the collection bee. 6. / Mr. Exton works in his garage studio in Herndon. He has his furniture displayed currently in a show at the Greater Reston Arts Center. He also teaches woodtuming. In the , pastjiis furniture and other woodwork has been displayed at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. “My ornament is based on the great star of Bethlehem and is made from holly, the whitest wood, ^vith a walnut center,” he said. He spent nearly 12 hours in the design of the intricate star that is two inches in diameter and eight and a half inches long.“I never hesitated when I realized what I was being asked to donate,” Mr. Exton said. “It is a special recognition of the craft artist that the Clintons have done. The word is gradually getting out.” Mr. Exton, 42, has devoted his career to full-time woodturning for he last two and a half years after ■inging in night clubs in the 1970s and writing in the 1980s. One of his books, Milestone into Headstones: 9 Fascinating Americans Burned in Washington, D.C. is available at the Arlington Cemetery. Mr. Exton, said he hasn’t yet decided what craft to tackle in the year 2000. i i “I may master the polka,” he said. Mr. Exton is the son of Hugh M. Exton of Amissville. « 4 ...» From Page 1 "*■"p* •-'At Monday’s meeting the supervisors also reelected Mr. Gilkey chairman and Mr. Estes vice-chairman.

I Ivy in the Winter Garden Now that the herbaceous perennials have been cut to the ground by frost and the deciduous trees are denuded of leaves, the evergreens of the garden are truly appreciated. Ivy is an important evergreen for brightening a spot qr creating a bold effect. English ivy (Hedera hilix) and its many cultivars have the interesting characteristic of having two different leaf types and growths habits, depending on its stage of life. 4 Juvenile Leaves i , Have Lobed Shape The juvenile form is the most familiar. The juvenile leaves are three-to-five-lobed with a creeping, self-clinging habit. The adult form is quite different-with simple, unlobed leaves and a shrubby habit. The adult form usually goes unnoticed since it occurs only after the plant has become quite old and has climed up some vertical support at least 10 to 20 feet. Only the uppermost part of the plant undergoes this metamorphosis from juvenile to adulthood. It is the juvenile form which covers the ground and walls, and in which we are msot interested. H. helix ’Baltica’ is a particularly hardy variety with smaller leaves that the common form. H. helix ’Buttercup’ foliage becomes chartreuse as the leaves age through the growing season. The young terminal shoots of English Ivy often turn bronze or brown-red in color when the weather turns sharply cold. Using English ivy in holiday decorations addds delicated touches of green and brown-red to the arrangements.

It is true that H. helix and its relatives can be vigorous, but all can be kept in check with a bit of snipping here and there during the summer months. Not letting it get out of control in the first place is the best way to keep it in control at all times. Ivy can eventually cause deterioration of the mortar between bricks so use care when planning an ivy wall. Do not allow ivy to grow up a wood house as this will mean rot and ex* pense down the road. The best way to show ivy to is best advantage is as a ground cover, on a slope, under trees, or at the edge of the drive.

January According To The Almanack According to the Hagers-town Almanack the New Year will start off with temperatures below average, but with precipitation above average. Weather Watch: We start off with snow, sotmry forecast for (1-3), followed by fair, very cold (4-7). We "X see more snow for (8-10), then a period of fair, bitter cold (11-16). Next, it’s snow or rain (17,18) with fair but not as cold (19-21). Look for colder and windy with flurries (22,23), followed by a fair but cold period (24— 26). Expect cold rain or snow (2729), with (30,31) fair, very cold. >*- Tornado Watch: No activity foreseen in this area at this time. Full Moon: This month’s full moon occurs at 8:23 a.m., EST on the 27th an is often referred to as v “The Wolf Moon” from Indian lore when wolves visited villages^. in/ ^ search of food. Today, however//it might more appropriately be designated “The Snow Moon” since we foresee cold rain or snow at that time. Tweleth Night: Many* still observe the old English tradition of the taking down and burning of the Christmas green on Jan. 6, or “Old Christmas,” in the belief that it would avoid bad luck for the coming year. The custom began much eariler when famers set bonfires to scare off witches threatening their homes and crops. During those cold winter nights, why not leaf through those seed catalogues which are arriving about now? January is a good time for pencil pushing, planning the garden for the coming season. Be especially careful adjusting your driving to the changing road conditions of winter. Carry emergency equipment with you, as well. Always let others know your destination and expected time of arrival. J.
