See story, Page B-l. George K. Miller, Banker And Farmer, Dies at 78 Graveside funeral services were held for George Kinsey Miller Sunday at the Woodville , Cemetery. Mr. Miller, 78, died Thursday at Culpeper Memorial Hospital following a long illness. Mr. Miller was a retired farmer, President of the Rappahannock National Bank and a member of the Board of Directors of the Rappahannock Home Mutual Insurance Company. Bom in May 1915 in Rappahannock County, Mr. Miller was the son of the late Robert W. Miller and the late Louise Kinsey Miller. Mr. Miller never married. He is survived by a nephew Kenneth Rust Miller of Arlington. The Rev. William A. Harrison . officiated at the service saying of all the things Mr. Miller had done, he was proudest of being a Rappahannock farmer. Mr. Miller graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in agriculture. Following graduation he returned to the county to help his parents with the family farm in the F.T. Valley. He cared for his parents until their deaths and continued to farm until 1985 when he rented out the farm, Mountain View. i George K. Miller “This is a great personal loss to me,” said James W. Fletcher, who owns the adjoining farm, Montpelier. “There couldn’t be a better neighbor. He an<J I were neighbors for over a quarter of a century, and there was never a cross word between us. He did dozens of things to help out on my farm without his help being solicited.” John Conry, chief executive officer of the Rappahannock National Bank, said that Mr. Miller became a director of the bank in 1969, following in his father’s footsteps. He was chosen president in 1985 and served as president until his death. Mr. Conry said that Mr. Miller was present at every meeting and very active as a director and president. “He was a big supporter of the bank,” Mr. Conry said. Pallbearers were Nelson Nethers, James P. Leake, J. Newbill Miller, Alphaeus Cannon, Thomas B. Massie, and Edward D. Tayloe II. Honorary pallbearers were James W. Fletcher, John Eubank Jr., Edward C. Trope, George N. Slater and H.B. Wood. Memorial contributions may be made to the* Sperryville Rescue Squad, Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department or the Culpeper Memorial Hospital.

Farmers and Stock Handle Bitter Cold and Ice By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Fanners and their animals seemed to have fared well during last week’s ice storm. “We had a lot of warning about it,” said Mike Massie of Massies Corner. “I often think of a four-legged animal as having four-wheel drive, but that is not so on this ice,” said Louis Moore, Jr. of Flint Hill. Mr. Moore and his cows made it through the cold and ice all right. “We feed them extra hay. We had one or two calves born and they made it through just fine. It got slippery around the feed troughs, so we'moved them to another part of the pasture,” he said. Bill Oliver of Woodville, who takes care of about 1,500 cattle and calves, said his worst problem had been the diesel fuel in tractors “jellying up.” He said, “So far we have not had any problems, and we have not had all the tractors not running at the same time.” One of the worst things that can happen with ice on the ground is that animals can slip and do a split, fracturing their pelvis. Of the farmers polled for this article, fortunately none had had this problem. At Bob and Roberta Anderson’s farm near Rock Mills, the calves were taking advantage of the icy situation. They had a ^»uilt-in slide, an incline covered with ice, which they slid down to get into the bam. One calf would slide down, and the others would watch and then follow. Once they hit bottom, they would run on in. “The calves were really funny,” said Mrs. Anderson The Andersons care for about 65 head of Registered Angus, including calves. “We feed grain to our cattle in the winter,” said Bob Anderson. “We use a tractor to “ruffle up” the ice to keep the cows from falling down. Toni and Randall Updike care for cattle and sheep. “We are hanging in there,” said Mrs. Updike. “We are existing but it is tough on the newborns. So far we have been lucky and we have not lost any. We put the newborns under heat lamps,” she added. “The man that I know that takes downed cows said he has never seen any- ° thing like this as long as he has been in business,” said Mr. Updike. Mike Massie puts the feed for his cattle on the back side of a hill so that they won’t have to be in the wind and deal with the chill factor. “It’s the wind chill that really gets to them more than just the cold. Also, we unroll the hay so they can lay down on it too. They eat one and a half to two times as much when it is as cold as it’s been,” he said. Mike Massie has a new method of watering the heifers in his barn. It is a Mira-Fount, which he purchased at the KappahannocK r armers Co-op. It worked fine during last week’s cold and ice, and seems to be a surefire method of keeping the water from freezing. It keeps the water warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The top has four separate watering holes for the cattle to drink from, and each hole has a blue plastic ball which floats on the surface of the water. The heifers have to push the ball down with their noses in order to get to the water, but they eventually learn how to do it. Newbill Miller raises Registered Angus in Washington. Other than diesel fuel problems, he made it through the week without any other problems. He said, “If you keep cows filled with hay and give them a place to keep them from the extreme cold, they will do fine.” Louis Moore said, “We are not out of the woods yet. We have a lot of winter left.” Rappahannock News. Staff PhouvCindy Mahan Heifers get water from Mike Massie’s Mira-Fount. Exams Canceled School Extended By Week By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New» Staff Writer Students returned to school Tuesday for only the fifth day of school since the Christmas holiday to learn that first semester exams have been canceled. So far this year, students have missed 12 days of school, most since Christmas. School Superintendent David Gangel said it had been “a veiy unusual situation, not only in the number of days missed but also in when they were missed, very near , the time for mid-tehp exams. ” He said it would take at least four days to prepare students for exam^ and another four days to give the exams. “Since we were behind, we felt we should put the time into instruction instead of into testing,” he said. He said spring exams would be given as usual. High school Principal John Toth heartily endorsed the decision to get along with instruction instead of exams. “Instruction is what we are about,” he said. “It took priority over testing.” If there are no more missed days the third six-weeks period will end on FebJ 7 and parent-teacher conferences will be Feb. 10. i He said he had also decided to extend the school year by one week, i i with the last day of school June 17 and graduation June 18. With five days made up during the week after Easter and five days added to the school year, Dr. Gangel said he is considering using banked time instead of making up the other two days. He said the School Board will have to make the final decision, but there are only two other days off in the calendar, the Friday before Easter, which is all that is left of the spring vacation, and Memorial Day. He said students and teachers will need those breaks because it is a “long haul” to the end of the school year. , i He also hopes not to have to extend school any farther into the summer. “If we start continually pushing the calendar back, we run into heat at the other end,” he said. “Our buildings are not air-conditioned.” He noted that some days in May and June he has to close school early because of excessive heat. Dr. Gangel said he was out visiting school bus routes early Tuesday morning and found that there were places where there was puddled water that had frozen overnight; but there were not many of them. There were also some places still ice-covered where the sun cannot reach. “A two-hour delay would do nothing for ii those,” he said. There were not many stretches of road like that and they had gravel on them, he said. He said bus drivers could use their discretion about deciding whether to go in on ice covered roads, but most had been able to complete their entire routes. Dr. Gangel said VDOT crews did a good job of clearing roads and also helped the school system out by clearing driveways and parking lots at the schools. t Meanwhile high school athletic director Kirk Harrup spent much of Tuesday trying to reschedule missed games. The varsity and JV basketball teams were away playing Central Tuesday night. They were to play Page County in an away game Friday and return home to face Brentsville Monday in games that start at 4:30 because exams for Brentsville start Tuesday. i The Junior Panthers play at home against Stonewall Jackson at 4 p.m. Friday and have finish their schedule with games against Strasburg at home Tuesday and away Thursday. i The volleyball teams have home games with Central Thursday night and with Strasburg Saturday at 1 p.m. The regular volleyball season must end .by Feb. 11 and the basketball season by Feb. 18 to allow for post-season tournaments. nises morel precipitation as rain, Oven though the outside temperature was below 20 degree^* .4' ... but when the snow passes through a warm air mass, it melts.

By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer* Susan Eaton Warren’s threestory house in Sperryville burned to the ground last Thursday night. She did not have insurance. “I had been worried for a long time about not having insurance, but I just didn’t have the money,” she said. Unfortunately, now it is too late. Everything she owned, except for her truck, perished in the fire. “It was everything I had worked my whole life for,” she said. Mrs. Warren was employed for 20 years as a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines, and saved money during that time to build her own house. She contracted out part of the work on her house, but built most of it herself. 1 All that is left standing now is the stone chimney, though badly damaged, and the cinder block foundation. The fire apparently started as a chimney fire. Mrs. Warren said, “The first hint we had of it was that all the lights went out. Then I smelled smoke.” She and her husband Wayne were in the house at the time, and they had a very difficult and scary time getting out, especially with no lights. Mr. Warren tried to put out the fire himself, but it was a futile attempt; the fire was too intense. He ended up with second and third degree bums on his hands and face, and his hair caught fire. When they tried to get the main door open to get out of the house, it was difficult to open. Once they did get it open, it made the fire much worse. Fire trucks were unable to make it.up to the house because of a steep incline on the driveway, which was covered with ice. The Warrens had to call the fire department from a neighbor’s phone, because they do not have a phone. The Warrens have a dog and goat which were unharmed by the fire, but a macaw parrot wasn’t so lucky. . Mrs. Warren hopes to rebuild her house, and is glad that spring is coming to make it a little easier. However, she needs to live in a trailer on the property in order to do so, and hopes that someone might have one that they could lend, rent, or sell her. What she also really needs are building materials of all kinds, 4-inch PVC, lumber, a chainsaw, circular saw, furniture and appliances. She does have a building in which to store these items. WTiat she probably needs first is to rent a machine so she can clean out the foundation.

Real Estate fi Eileen M. Day REALTOR * TAX FREE GIFT FOR DOWN PAYMENT An often overlooked source for the dollars to make a down payment on a new home is tax-free gifts from wealthy relatives. Let's say a young couple s parents (grandparents, etc.) have built up a sizable estate during their lifetimes and upon their deaths fully intend to leave a substantial inheritance to the couple. With careful planning, the parents or grandparents could give the couple part of the money now and, at the same time, possibly reduce overall estate taxes that may be due when they die. . Under current law, any Individual can give another a gift equal to *10,000 every year without paying any gift taxes. A married . couple together can claim an annual gift tax exclusion totaling *20,000 a year, even if just one ‘ of them actually gave the gift. Any attorney, financial planner or related professional who specializes in estate planning and * taxes can provide details about how to set up a gifting program that can benefit the benefactors as well as the recipients. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please stop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, the Clopton House, Washington, Va., 22747. Phone 675-3033. Were here to help. Mrs. Warren can be reached by writing to her at Mountain High Farm, in Sperryville. On Friday another house off Route 681 burned to the ground. That house owned by Robert DeShazo was rented by Sherry Craft Keys and George Eng. Ms. Keys also has a baby living with her. No one was in the house when the fire started sometime after noon on Friday, Jan 21, but a dog apparently perished in the fire. A neighbor saw the fire and called the dispatcher just before 1:30. As with the fire the night before Sperryville, Washington, and Castleton fire department units were called out, but they could not get to the fire in time. That house was also burned to the ground with only a chimney standing. , Dana Turman, who handles rentals of the houses on the property owned by her father, said that the oldest section of the house was a log cabin, 100 to 150 years old. “It’s kind of sad,” she added. She said that wiring and plumbing work had recently been done on the house and the chimney had been repaired. Mrs. Turman said the hottest part of the fire was aparently in the kitchen where there was a wood stove. Ms. Keys only learned of the fire when she was heading home later in the day. Mrs. Turman said she understands how Ms. Keys feels since the Turmans also had a fire several years ago that burned down their house while they were away. Ms. Keys occasionally works at the F.T. Valley grocery, and people have been leaving things there for her. There is also a jar collecting money to help out. Mrs. Turman said that renters should know they need “renters’ insurance” which is not very expensive. Richie Burke, a member of the Sperryville Fire Department, responded to both fires. “The houses were both on the ground before we could get there,” he said. i Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan A chimney and foundation are all that remain of Susan Eaton Warren’s house after Thursday night’s fire.

George Allen at the throttle, the Disney’s America train is rolling at full speed toward Virginia’s General Assembly. Last week Allen told a legislative briefing that the Prince William County theme park will lead the state’s economic “renaissance.” He supports Disney’s proposal to use public money for infrastructure improvements in and around the 3,000-acre site near Haymarket. Allen asked the General Assembly to approve nearly $150 million in state bonds to finance the necessary road improvements —money which Disney maintains will be more than recouped from the additional tax revenue ($1.18 billion over 30 years) the company estimates Virginia will receive. While we’re not ready to pass judgement on the project, Virginia’s legislators should give Allen’s financing plan a hard look. Though some of the proposed transportation improvements have already been budgeted, most of the highway work in Disney’s proposal is planned but not budgeted. Northern Virginia already has a tremendous deficit in transportation funding, and additional highway money will possibly be diverted from other pressing needs. More important, the Disney proposal has no precedent in « Virginia. Developers have historically paid their own way with road and other infrastructure improvements. State legislators are being asked to establish a precedent by approving public money to finance infrastructure improvements which benefit one project — albeit a huge one. What will they say when other developers come to Richmond asking for state assistance for their own projects? What will they say to King’s Dominion, which paid its own way (including a new interstate interchange) when it built the popular amusement park in Hanover County? Several years ago, when the governor was a state delegate from Albemarle County, he voted against a similar highway bond proposal to fund improvements to U.S. 58 across Southside. Disney is different, the Allen administration now says, suggesting that Disney’s America will serve as an economic catalyst for the entire state’s economy . Based on the data available so far, the prospects look far less sure than Gov. Allen’s optimistic forecast. Even,Disney’s own numbers (the second set, which they touted as more realistic than the conservative numbers they provided with their initial announcement) pale beside the job and revenue estimates produced by a state study commissioned during Allen’s transition. We have to wonder about those numbers. Are they based on hard data, or massaged to support Gov. Allen’s Disney campaign? His boosterism has gone beyond what even Disney asked for, including worker training and even a promotional campaign. There’s yet another concern about the governor’s plan. •Though some enthusiastic legislators have called the Disney proposal a “no-brainer,” there’s no guarantee that it will be the runaway success its backers assume. If the project fails, or for any reason doesn’t produce the projected tax revenues, Virginia’s taxpayers will be left with the liability for the $142 million in bonds ($245 million including interest over 20 years). That’s a huge obligation for a new governor to foist on the Commonwealth’s residents. The Disney project is, according to one company official, “the single largest one-time investment” in the state’s history. Such a huge investment deserves a careful look from the officials elected to represent us. Their duty is to the state’s residents, not to Gov. Allen or the Walt Disney Co. A thorough independent analysis of the project, and public hearings, are warranted before a penny of state money is obligated to finance the Disney project. Rappahannock Heritage : Rappahannock News Staff PhottVCindy Mahan This tumbling snow-covered stone wall in Harris Hollow is hardly needed to fence in the orchard. Disney Supported i ■■ To the Editor: The proposed Disney theme park in Prince William County is the biggest and best project to ever want to locate in Virginia. It would produce 3,000 jobs, over one billion dollars in taxes for the state and county (over 30 years), and promote high quality growth in a stagnating economy. It will provide high quality educational entertainment for old and young alike. It would bring more tourists to Virginia and tourism is very beneficial to the state economy. It would bring prestige to Virginia and attract more high quality businesses. We should be looking to the future and encourage these high quality developments in the state, not discourage them. Frankly, if the Disney project is stopped by the “Flat Earth Society” it will discourage other desirable developments. We can lose Disney if we don’t let our public officials know they’re wanted. So, lets welcome Disney to Virginia. Let your state Delegate and Senator know you want this kind of economic development because it’s good for Virginia. i MASON GARDNER Gainesville Smoking At School Opposed To the Editor: First of all we want to thank the members of the Rappahannock School Board for the very excellent job they are doing in guiding our schools through difficult times. We wish to also commend the good work of Superintendent Dr. Gangel and his assistant Dr. Chappftl. We would like, however, to appeal to the School Board to reverse their decision on the policy of allowing smoking on school grounds. Two hundred and forty thousand (240,000) Americans die yearly from cigarette smoking. We must show our children that smoking is very destructive to their health. Teachers and employees of the school must set examples, even smoking outstide the building will be seen by the students. Let us not give children an excuse to start this very addictive habit. Alcohol or other “drugs” are not allowed on school grounds, neither should cigarette smoking. WERNER KREBSER, M.D. AND JERRY W. MARTIN, M.D. Washington i Highway Crews Thanked To the Editor: Congratulations to the Rappahannock County highway crew! Our main roads, at least, were cleaned sooner and better than those in sorrounding j urisdictions. Business took me to Charlottesville in last Monday’s snow and ice storm, to Richmond on Wednesday’s ice-encrusted highways, and to D.C. on Thursday and Friday. In all directions, Rappahannock’s roads were better than anyone else’s. Thanks to all who made that happen. ROBERT T.

By FRANK WOLF Rep. 10th District I recently returned from an official visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina which, all across the land, is being ripped apart by fighting among Bosnian Serbs, Croats and Muslims and by Serbia and Croatia as well. My intention to again visit Sarajevo, having previously been there in September 1992, was blocked by intense Serb shelling of the city before, during and after my trip. The continuing bombardment which included daily pounding ofthe airport and its runway caused all flights into Sarajevo to be cancelled. I was able to travel, on Jan. 7, to the Bosnian town of Mostar with a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) convoy escorted by elements of the Spanish Battalion of UN troops. Perhaps conditions are even worse in Mostar than in Sarajevo. This town is the front line of the Muslim push to the Adriatic Sea. Divided by the Neretva River, whose course runs from Central Bosnia to the Adriatic on the Dalmation coast of Croatia, east Mostar is held by the Muslims. They are sandwiched between the Bosnian Croats-holding west Mostar and its high ground, particularly the prominent Mount Hum from which Croat snipers, mortars and artillery have a straight shot onto the buildings, streets and throughways of the eastern half of town-and Serb gunners entrenched in the steep mountains ringing Mostar farther to the east. Our transit to Mostar was one of two convoys that day. We were joined by another procession of escorted trucks bringing in all too little lifegiving food, meager medical supplies and none of the critically needed diesel oil which is in contin ual demand-not so much to ease the winter’s chill, as to provide only crucial electrical power to the hosptial and for other emergency services. The staggering shortage of this life-saving fuel oil was driven home later in a Mostar hospital operating room where we saw a river-waterfilled tin can bubbling over a wood fire functioning as the sole means of sterilizing surgical instruments used and reused in an assembly line-like procession of operations on shelling and sniper victims. We proceeded to what now passes as City Hall for brief meetings with the War Presidency, a five-person executive body trying to cope with governing and providing services to this city under siege. We were given one grim statistic after another punctuated by the sound of shelling and sniper fire taking place just outside the boarded up window. Fifty shells in downtown yesterday. Three dead, 38 wounded. One tnousand surgeries since nghting began on May 9, 1993, many by candlelight. No oxygen. No electrical power. No heating. No ambulances. A walking tour of east Mostar, or what is left of it, followed. Most buildings are reduced to empty shells reminiscent of World War II bombed out cities. Much of life has moved underground in unlighted, unheated and certainly unventilated cellars. Young children, women and the elderly climb out of these dens only too infrequently when the shelling pauses. Even the persistent cloud covered gloom offers a too bright contrast to the nearly pitch black basements so that people do little more than stand around. Blinking. Bewildered. Life does go on. We held for a moment, a seven-day old baby girl. People seemed eager just to touch us. To hear us. To somehow sense that there is indeed a civilization beyound this living hell. It was little better outside the cellars. Streets running toward the river offered clear fields of fire to snipers on the hill in west Mostar. Walkers trudge along the crossing streets until, arriving at an intersection, they suddenly sprint across the opening, their haste denying a sniper the time to draw a bead. We, too, quickly mastered this tactic. At some intersections people had stacked tires, wood and metal sheets and other debris to obscure the sniper’s vision of ongoing foot traffic. We went next to the town of Grade to meet with Mr. Mate Boban, president of Bosnia-Herzegovina Croats. Clearly, his view of what is taking place there differs from my own. I urged him to end the siege of Mostar, the existence of which he denies. Having completed this, my third trip to the former Yugoslavia, I have, with sadness, concluded that conditions there have grown worse with the passage of time. There are several things that our government ought to do. We should focus more attention on this spot. I do not believe a high level member of the Clinton administration has even visited Sarajevo or Belgrade or, until US Permanent Representative to the UN Albright’s just concluded trip, even to Zagreb. I hope our government will now make this a top priority matter and appoint a high level representative— someone of the stature of retired Admiral Crowe, General Vernon Walters or perhaps former Secretary of State Schultz-whose job will be literally to aggressively and solely pursue this issue, cnss-crossing the country meeting with all the leaders, bringing them to the table to hammer out solutions. This really hasn’t been done by the United States. The first order of business is to resolve the confrontation between the Croats and Muslims. They simply should not be fighting despite., the terrible things they have done to each other. If they are unwilling to do this, perhaps we should impose sanctions on Croatia. The Croatian Bosnian Army (HVO) is shelling east Mostar, and there is no justification for this. Also, most independent observers would agree that the Bosnian Muslim Army is aggressively on the move, retaking more and more land. Congress, too, should involve it ” self more in this issue. The House and Senate should hold hearings on this conflict. This is an issue which ought to be discussed and debated before the American people. m I tend to be more sympathetic fi> the Croats and Muslims, but there^ blame enough for all. On a blamgscale of one to ten, I would assign the Serbs a nine, the Croats a five and the Muslims a two. All sid£fe commit atrocities. All sides engagp in ethnic cleansing. •« This horror will likely contiue as long as the world tolerates it. If, after all other possibilities have begp exhausted, and the warring sides still cannot find common ground, * stronger coercive action must Be considered, perhaps air strikes. At a time when the newly opened Holocause Museum in our nation’s capital attracts millions trying to understand how the tragedy of World War II could have happened, howcan we sit idly'by and watch this new horror go on.

Senate Candidate Meets With Local Republicans ; By SHARON KILPATRICK • Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer ! Jim Miller, seeking the Republics nomination to oppose Democratic Sen. Charles Robb this fall, came to Rappahannock Sunday to meet with local Republicans and also ckme by the Rappahannock News f$r an interview. ; Mr. Miller acknowledges that he lacks the name recognition of his opponent for the Republican nomination, Lt. Col. Oliver North, ijowever, he says he is better qualified to serve in the Senate and that he also lacks North’s “negatives.” ! “I think the colonel’s support has fjeaked,” he said. “He has a lot of support. People say, ‘I signed on with North because he raised money for me.’ A lot are committed but not viery enthusiastic. Below that it is a really competitive race.” • While admiting he lacks Col. North’s “celebrity status,” Mr. Miller says his experience in the Reagan administration has prepared him to be a U.S. Senator. > Mr. Miller served as “regulatory czar” under Reagan and reduced the number of pages of federal regula toons, he said. He served as chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. Mr. Miller said when he took over that 4gency it was “out of control.” He reduced the staff significantly. > He said he was “negotiating to go back to the private sector” when President Reagan asked him to succeed David Stockman as budget director. Mr. Miller uses bar graphs to show that during the three years when he was responsible for the budget, 1987, 1988, and 1989, the budget deficits were lower than those before Or after. r “The budget director is an extraordinarily powerful responsible position,” he said. “He is a person with his hands in everything. The budget is the principal policy document of the U.S. government, and I utilized that power responsibly.” While he served as budget director, Mr. Miller was also a member of (he cabinet. He served on the na tional Security Council, Domestic Policy Council, the Economic Policy Council, and the Task Force on Regulatory Relief. He said in his capacity as budget director he was also involved in “negotiating bills with Congress on a daily basis.” Mr. Miller says he must run a “come from behind” race to win the Republican nomination. “It is redeeming to think that the people of Virginia are sufficiently sophisticated to think of the qualifications of the candidates and how serious it is not just to send someone who is famous. Virginians needs someone who knows the ropes and someone they can trust and admire.” Mr. Miller feels it is important to defeat Sen. Robb, and he thinks it can be done. “This is a golden opportunity to replace a Democrat with a Republican and someone who has not been a particularly good senator,” he said. He said on the issues Sen. Robb is “out of step with Virginia,” and that he can be defeated on the issue of “integrity, trust and behavior. I’m tired of opening the newspaper and reading the latest charges of what he did at Virginia Beach or whatever,” he added. On health insurance he said it is important not to pass President Clinton’s plan. “It is 180 degrees in the wrong direction and will lead to a bureaucratic nightmare,” he said. “The problems are not so severe as the president would have you believe, and the problems are too much government and the wrong kinds of government,” he added. He said he would favor a law requiring everyone to have,health insurance similar to laws requiring automobile insurance and vouchers for those who cannot afford it. “That’s preferable to the jerryrigged system the president has proposed,” he said. “I favor customer sovereignty and choice.” He said the vouchers could work like food stamps. “You don’t have government grocery stores,” he added. He also favors vouchers for edu Library To Offer Program On Black Church History Photo courtesy of Sean Kilpatrick Jon Heddleston and John Marocchi visited with Jim Miller. By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer The First Baptist Church of Washington, the Hopewell Baptist Church of Sperryville, and the Shiloh Baptist Church of Woodville, were all founded in 1873 by the Rev. George W. Homer. Rev. Homer was also a pastor at the Macedonia Church in Flint HOI, founded 128 years ago, and he was pastor at several other churches in neighboring counties. The three churches, in the course of celebrating their 120th anniversaries, have written and published histories of their churches and communities. “The Friday at the Library” program at 8 p.m. on Feb. 4 is part of the Black History Month Celebration. Members of these congregations and of the Macedonia Church will present copies of the church histories to the library. A committe, led by Nanette Butler and made up of Anna Allsberry, Lillian Aylor, Ethel Bailey, Edith Bridget, Ludwell Brown, Lewis Butler, Dorothy Butler, Samuel Glasker, Vida Timbers, and the Rev. Harrison Williams, has been planning a program that will include cation. He said that due to Supreme Court decisions, public schools cannot teach “principals of moral behavior and ethics, and this is creating a crisis. With public financing and private provision, schools could teach moral standards.” He added, “I am in favor of empowering the customer to make the choice, and I reject the elitist argument that parents are incapable of making the correct choice.” Mr. Miller told the Republicans gathered at the home of Susan and Walter Longyear that he opposes cutbacks in defense and noted that Virginia is particularly dependent on defense spending. § I NOW ON TUESDAY AT Front Royal Moose Lodge Doors open at 5:30 p.m. No Checks Please He said that the situation in Russia is very dangerous and that it is not a good time to reduce defense spending. - On Bosnia he said the United States missed the opportunity “to make a difference. That time has passed,” he said. He added that the only thing the U.S. can do now is try to put pressure on Russia to cut off support for the Serbs, and added, “Yeltzen is not likely to back away from supporting the Serbs as long as he’s under pressure. ” ^jjKr^annarJvMatiDnal Ban^ WA5«TIVGTOIV, VEL^INIA it hath pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst George K.

Planners Elect New Chairman, Vice Chair By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Mike Massie took over as chairman of the county Planning Commission and Sharon Pierce was elected as vice chairman at last Wednesday’s meeting. The planners also recommended approval for a new bed and breakfast in Laurel Mills. The other two agenda items, adoption of the plan for the General Commercial District and acting on a special exception to clean up soil and water contaminated by underground fuel tanks formerly at the F.T. Valley Grocery, were continued for action in February. At the beginning of the meeting former chairman Allen Stokes, who represents Piedmont District, said, “I wish to step aside.” He nominated Mike Massie, who represents the Board of Supervisors on the commission, to be the new chairman, and Mr. Massie was elected unanimously. 7 When next the planners took up the nomination for vice chairman, Jackson District representative David Fannon said, “I also wish to step aside. It’s time for some young blood.” He nominated Sharon Pierce, Stonewall-Hawthom District representative, who was not present. Her nomination was approved 5 to 1 with Werner Krebser voting “no.” i Newbill Miller, a former chairman of the commission, who served with Mr. Stokes for many years, asked him how long he had served as chairman. Mr. Stokes said he really didn’t know. “I really appreciate the job you’ve done,” Mr. Miller said. Mr. Massie concurred. “Anyone who had an opinion has had an opportunity to stand up and have their say,” he said. The planners recommended that the Board of Zoning Appeals grant a special use permit for contract purchasers Amanda Stephens and Gary Light of Arlington to operate a fourroom bed and breakfast at Laurel Mills Farm. Mr. Light said, “It’s a big house. Otherwise we couldn’t keep and maintain it.” County Administrator John McCarthy said that he had received verbal correspondence on the application from Phil Irwin, who operates Caledonia Farm Bed and Breakfast. Mr. Irwin was unable to attend the meeting because of the weather. According to Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Irwin said there are currently are 13 bed and breakfast operations in the county and three country inns. “The county has become inundated with B and Bs. They should be told they probably won’t have any guests,” Mr. McCarthy reported Mr. Irwin had said. HAS CABLE TV PASSED YOU BY?

He noted that he was part owner of the property which was formerly McKinley Blankenbaker’s house. He said that it is an “architecturally significant” Victorian house that is expensive to maintain. Mr. Fannon made the motion to recommend approval, which passed unanimously, with Brooke Miller abstaining because he also had a partial interest in the property. The planners next considered the application by Environmental Science & Engineering of Herndon, acting as agents for Quarles Petroleum of Fredericksburg, for a special exception to install a “groundwater treatment facility” at the F.T. Valley Grocery and on land across Route 231 belonging to Helen N. Coffey and others. Mr. McCarthy recommended that the planners continue consideration of the application until next month. He said normally applications come from the property owners. In this case Quarles had indicated it had agreements with the Burkes, who own and grocery, and with the Coffeys, but in fact Quarles did not have an agreement with either property owner. He said the leak was discovered some years after the tanks were removed and petroleum products are leaking into Beaver Dam Creek. There are booms in place to cap rare tne gasoline, ne said, me application is for a package treatment plant. He said the leak was discovered more than 500 feet from where the tanks were formerly located. Mr. Massie opened the public hearing, and when no one spoke for or against the application, he continued the hearing until next month.

However, two citizens were attending trying to find out more about that proposal. Carolyn Butler, who owns property on the south side of U.S. 211 in the area of the zone, said she wanted to find out what was being proposed for her land. The planners said the proposal would not rezone her land but would designate it as suitable for rezoning to general commercial. If the plan is adopted landowners requesting rezoning would have to comply with site plan specifications for screening and lighting. The plan is also designed to limit the number of entrances onto U.S. 211 by “funneling traffic onto new roads,” Mr. McCarthy said. He said the same “broad set of standards could be applied elsewhere.” Mr. Massie said that the reason the planners were considering the plan was “to encourage businesses to locate in Rappahannock County and do it in such a way that it would not be like [U.S.] 29 north of Charlottesville or the Warrenton by-pass.” He said that he had heard objections that this plan would forbid new commercial operations anywhere else in the county, but this is not true, since “there are still places it can go in the villages.” Carson Johnson asked if the commission had done studies on the soil in the area to “get a feel for how much or what type of commercial endeavors the water and soil could handle.” Mr. McCarthy said they had found that west of Route 636 on the south side of U.S. 211, “nothing perks,” and therefore that land had not been included. Mr. Massie^said the soil on the north side are generally good for septic tanks. “My1 interest was to make sure we don’t promise more than We can deliver,” Mr. Johnson said, j I : i l American Heart Association WE’RE FIGHTING FOR VOURLIFE i Custom Draperies, Curtains, Shades and Blinds i~- -— ■ . ..

For Most, Social Security Taxes Remain the Same , y By BRUCE HUNDLEY Social Security Manager in Culpeper Beginning Jan. 1, 1994, the only Rappahannock County taxpayers who will see an increase in their Social Security taxes are those who earn more than $57,600. The 1994 “wage base,” the maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security tax, will be $60,600, up from $57,600 in 1993. The tax rate remains the same; 7.65 percent (6.2 percent for Social Security and 1.45 percent for Medicare). The tax rate for self-employed individuals remains the same: 15.3 percent (12.4 percent for Social Security and 2.9 percent for Medicare). Also beginning Jan. 1, 1994, individuals who make more than $60,600 will continue to pay the Medicare portion of the Social Secuirty tax— 1.45 percent for wage eariers and 2.9 percent fo self-emplowa-on the rest of their earnings. In i993, they paid Medicare taxes only up to a $135,000 wage base. The amount of wages needed to earn one Social Secuirty “credit” will be $620 in 1994, up from $590 in 1993. The maximum number of credits that can be earned each year is four. Thus, anyone earning more than $2,480 in 1994 will received the maximum of 4 credits for the year.

Ms. Schneidman is an artist who is well trained in painting, ceramics and photography. For the past four years, she has been producing large brightly-colored watercolors on handmade papers, which are then used as designs for cards. Working with 106 different designs, Sara Schneidman, Inc. sold 200,000 cards last year. Most of the cards are blank inside, and they are sold individually or in boxes of 10. They are carried in over 50 museum shops in the United States, and in over l.UUU stores throughout the u country, plus four or five in Canada. After graduating from Penn State University with a BFA in Ceramics and Photography, Ms. Schneidman spent two years as an art teacher. Then she began working in watercolors in 1975. She spent two years as a freelance artist in Washington, D.C. Then she was employed as a picture editor and researcher at Time-Life Books from 1977 through 1991. Her paintings have been exhibited in galleries since 1986 when friends encouraged her to show her work. “My first show was at TimeLife. That summer I showed at Sansar Gallery in Washington, D.C., which is located on Wisconsin Avenue, and I show work there now,” she said. She also exhibits her paintings at a gallery in Lenox, Massachusetts and in Canada. Ms. Schneidman has travelled extensively her whole life. Her par* ents were in the foreign service, and they lived mostly in Manila, Djakarta and Rome between 1957 and 1968. Of ethnic art, Ms. Schneidman says, “I look for universal motifs, .where they use symbols in everyday life. I look at a lot of books too, and I am interested in how people express themselves and how they create, how they integrate their art in everyday life. I like to visit countries where their art is integrated into their daily life.” These symbols or designs are very evident in Ms. Schneidman’s paintings. One of the cards is from a painting of a heart with checkerboard symbols inside it, the Haitian symbol of peace. Several of the other designs definitely show an influence from textiles, with bright colors and rich textures. She met Bill Landis, who is now her husband, in 1988. He had previously owned a bookstore in Gainesville, Florida. Both had had the idea to have their own card business someday. With Ms. Schneidman’s artistic ability and Mr. Landis’s business sense, they decided to give it a go. They moved to Rappahannock County in August, 1990, and started the card business the same month. The first printing of cards was for 200 each of four designs, printed in Virginia. “We use the best paper and printing that we can; we don’t scrimp,” said Ms. Schneidman. They took some cards to Washington, Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan In their living room Sara Schneidman and Bill Landis are surrounded by the textiles they have collected. D.C., and their first two orders were placed by The Written Word, a stationery store, and The Phillips Collection, both located near Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. Ms. Schneidman is the only artist selling cards in the Phillips Collection shop whose work is not also in the museum’s collection. “We gradually started increasing the number of cards, and did the shipping out of our house for the first two years,” said Mr. Landis. Now the couple has a space in Culpeper. All of the cards are shipped out from there with help from two other people. They will attend the National Stationery Show in New York City in May. “The New York show is where we make a lot of connections, and we can see representatives and buyers from all over,” said Ms. Schneidman. They set up a booth with all of their cards displayed, along with newer items, added to their business. Recent additions are blank books with a card design on the fabric cover. The books are available in three different shapes, and eight different cover colors. Also new are reproductions of Ms. Schneidman’s paintings. Just two are available now, but if they are successful, more will be added in the future. They have about 50 sales representatives around the country, but take care of Charlottesville and Washington, D.C. clients themselves. The sales representatives normally carry many different lines of cards, not just those from one supplier. “Our line is really small in the card business,” said Ms. Schneidman. t ^ *. Russian Political Perspectives Are Diverse By John Kiser Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer The following is a continuation of Mr. Kiser’s report on conversations with Russians last month.) Monday, Dec. 13 Later in the day I met with Yuri and Lev, two senior metallurgists at a leading Moscow metallurgical institute and teaching institution that is struggling for survival. Like all scientists who knew “the good old days” these two have had their world turned upside down. Formerly the darlings of communism with dependable and relatively generous state subsidies, prestigious work and better than average wages, science is now considered dispensable. A researcher’s average monthly wage of 40,000 R ($40) is now among the lowest in the country. All monies now must come from contracts, only most Russian customers have no money with which to pay. Contracts with the West are highly desirable since Western partners have money and pay in hard currency. Yuri is in his fifties, distinguished looking, with steel grey hair, black mustache, aquiline nose and an intense inspector Clusoux look about him. We were waiting in his offfice for his colleague to join us. “Zhirinovsky’s victory is a sign of the dissatisfaction of the people,” he said. “Today Russia is like the Weimar Republic. People have no confi dence in their leaders, in the government; they have lost their pride, their jobs, the country is falling apart~it is not unexpected, the people around Yeltsin have no idea of what they are doing. They do not think about the effect of their actions on people. They don’t understand what a first year engineer knowsyou can’t change everything at once. When you do not know what you are doing it is irresponsible to make big changes without knowing more about possible effects. The people around Yeltsin are theoreticians, they have no experience of life. They are not connected to the people. They are only thinking about themselves. And these Western advisorswhat do they know? Do they have to live with consequences of their advice. No, they stay in fancy hotels and leave whenever they want. “Yeltsin helped Zhirinovsky too,” he continued. “Yeltsin was responsible for the attack on the White House. He should have compromised. The disagreement could have been settled peacefully, but he did not want to.” “I saw Gorbachev on TV. He is being invited to England to get a medal. It makes me sick that this man gets so much attention in the West when he destroyed our country. He is like a criminal. Why is he liked so much in the West?” he asked me. Because he brought down the end of communism, I ventured. “But he didn’t care about people, he deceived the people, and he sur rounded himself with advisors who understood nothing. It was possible to make changes without destroying everything. Yes some good things have happened but it wasn’t necessary for all this suffering to have occurred.” Tuesday, Dec. 14 \ Chemogolovka is a science city an hour from Moscow and consists of formerly “closed” branches of the Russian Academy. I chatted about the general state of affairs with Volodya, the driver who had been sent to pick me up. “And what about Zhirinovsky, to what do you attribute his success?” I asked. “He agitated a lot” replied Volodya. “He was very active and stirred people up with lots of promises~he will stop crime, restore employment, restore the Union.” “ What do people know about him?” I queried. “Not much, his past is dark, but he speaks three languages,” he said. Later during our drive, I asked him if he thought on balance things were better or worse as a result of all the changes since perestroika began. “Better” Volodya said without hesitation. “Why?” I inquired. “I can go buy any kind of TV I want now if I have money-Sony, Hitachi, whatever~and I do not have to wait in line, I don’t have to bribe the sales lady to do special favors in return. Money is now money. Everthing is available--if you have money!” Oleg is a well respected theoretical chemist. He is also Jewish, though like most Russian Jews, not religious. That night I had dinner with him and his wife at their house. The Zhirinovsky results had been unexpected and frightening. “He makes no secret that he is part Jewish on his mother’s side. But some of the worst anti-semites are Jews. Marx was antisemitic. Zhirinovsky is in the tradition of the black shirts. The situation is very dangerous now. Factories are closing one after another. The Kirov tractor factory in Leningrad is laying off 7,000 workers and more factories will close. No one has any money,.” he said. “These people around Yeltsin and the IMF should read the history of the 30s,” he continued. “Look what happened in Austria after WWI. The country was dismembered like Russia, and the mass unemployment provided fodder for the Nazis. Yet Hitler was not taken seriously. Educated people laughed at him. He was just a passing phenomenon, a protest vote they thought. When we have large scale open unemployment~it is now still hidden because people are not officially fired, they are just not paid or put on leave—then there will be serious problems.” Mr. Kiser’s report mil continue in future issues. County B & Bs Share Breakfast Recipes By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ncw« Staff Writer On these cold winter mornings, a substantial hot breakfast is a good way to start the day. For a change, try one of these breakfast recipes, which are served at bed and breakfasts around Rappahannock County.

Bring to the table puffed, and sprinkle the lemon juice over the puff. This is another of Sara Schneidman’s card designs. Ms. Schneidman has heard from many people whom she had not been in contact with for a long time. They contact her after having seen her cards, since her name and address are printed on the backs of the cards. When she was in Mexico travelling by herself several years ago, she met a couple from Dallas, and they had dinner together. They exchanged addresses, but she didn’t hear from them for five years. The couple from Dallas wrote her that they had received a Christmas card from some other friends, and that the card was one of Sara’s. “I like that synchronicity,” said Ms. j Schneidman. ' The cards are for sale in some of! the best known stores in the coun-‘ try, such as Neiman Marcus, Marshall Fields and Borders Bookstores. Bloomingdale’s carries the blank books. Marshall Fields placed the largest order yet, for over 200 boxes of 10 cards each. The Tattered Cover in Denver, the biggest single bookstore in the country, also carries the cards. 1 I Locally, the cards and books can be purchased at Cabin Fever Books in Washington. T Give Acting a Try By KAREN HENDERSON Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Your chance to have some fun acting or directing (or both) is just around the comer. If you would like to participate in a theater production that won’t take up all your free time and make some new friends while having an opportunity to work on a theater project together, Ki Theatre is sponsoring a new project called “Open Theatre.” “Open Theatre” will consist of a series of five to 15-minute miniplays and monologues selected, acted and directed by members of our community, and presented to the public April 8 and 9. In preparation for that, Ki Theatre is holding an Actor/Director Workshop on Sunday, Jan. 30. The workshop led by Ki Theatre artistic director Julie Portman, will explore small scripts, go through the conceptual process of acting and directing, investigate the relationship between actor and director, discuss the structure of the plays and pieces that people are interested in performing, and make sugggestions for plays if you don’t have one in mind. Both experienced and inexperienced members of the community are encouraged to attend. The workshop will be held at Ki Theatre on Sunday, Jan. 30, from 1-4:30 p.m. Attendance is $15 per person.

J ■ ■ ' ; Food Labeling Process By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economies Food labeling authority in the • United States is Shared by two federal agencies, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The FSIS regulates the labeling of meat and poultry products, while the FDA regulates the labeling of virtually all other food products and the ingredients that are added to food. Labeling Changes The January 1993 food labeling regulations provide consumers with the information they need to make informed food choices. The new regulations accomplish the following: • Expand mandary nutrition labeling to virtually all food products. HOME ECONOMICS • Require a uniform list of nutrients for all products. • Define standard serving sizes. • Define health claims that describe the relationship between a food and a disease, such as fat and cancer, calcium and osteoporosis, sodium and high blood pressure. Garden Club Bird Feeding Advice By HELEN PLATT Rappahannock N*wa Contributing Writer The Rappahannock County Garden Club had to cancel its January meeting due to the extreme weather and so missed what promised to be an interesting program about birds. Chairman of the Club’s Bird Committee. Edna Metzinger, urges club member and others to be generous in putting out feed for birds, especially during any prolonged period of •below normal temperatures. Many natural sources of food have been covered with ice or snow just when animal bodies need extra supplies of energy producing nutrients in order to survive. Edna points out that the type of seed mix that is put out influences the number and variety of birds that are attracted. Sunflower seeds are like by most seed eaters and the smaller millets are favorite of many ground feeders. The term “ground feeders refers to those birds that do not eat from hanging feeders but eat on the ground and includes Cardinals, Towhees, White Throated Sparrows as well as other Sparrows, Juncos, Robins, Doves-many of the most desirable birds. The feeding station may be a generous platform where seeds are spread or simply a cleared area on the ground which is used consistently for scattering seed. \ Burke Descendants Searching For Roots Will descendants of James and Catherine Chelf Burke, who lived in the vicinity of Woodville in 1850, please contact Robert Burke, 1790 Altamont Rd., Greenville, S.C. 29609. Another seed that is frequently put out is thistle. This is a particular favorite of Goldfinches, and they will almost surely find a tube feeder or a fine mesh bag filled with thistle. Suet or other fats are great energy producers and are especially like by Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Wrens, Titmice, and Chickadees. Congealed bacon fat can be mixed with a little seed and smeared on the rough bark of a nearby tree. Or bacon fat can be mixed with commeal, bird seed, and a small smount of peanut butter to form tasty cakes of high calorie food. Some unusual appearances at feeding stations during the past few days have included Tree Sparrows, Song Sparrows, and a group of three Winter Wrens. Edna also reports seeing a very large flock of Robins in a field near Sperryville. A bird not spotted so far is the Evening Grosbeak, even though conditions are just right for its appearance. Any sighting of this bird should be reported to Edna immediately. • Define label words and phrases like “calorie free,” “low fat,” and “light.” • Establish new label reference values for nutrients and food components. Compliance Dates New labels must appear on packages in the manufacturing process by the following dates: FDA-regulated products by May, 1994 and FSIS-regulated producted by July, 1994. Exemptions From Nutrition Labeling While almost all packaged foods will have nutrition labels, some foods are exempt from the nutrition labeling rules. These include: Foods of no nutritional significance, such as cofree, tea and most spices. • Restaurant foods • Foods served for immediate consumption, such as on an airplane. j • Foods prepared on-site in food stores, such as a deli, bakery. • Foods sold by food service vendors, such as mall cookie counters, vending machines • Foods in very small packages sud> as candy bars. However, FDAregulated products must provide telephone and address to obtain nutrition information. • Foods produced by sihall businesses. (Foods that are exempt from nutrition labeling must still comply with ingredients, net content, and other regulations. Infant formula is not covered by the general nutrition labeling regulations but is labeled in accordance with other regulations. Meat and Poultry Products Nutrition labeling is mandatory for most processed meat and poultry products, such as Chicken franks, corned beef, meat burritos, pepperoni pizza. Single-ingredients, raw meat and poultry products, such as ground beef, chicken breasts, and whole turkey are subject to a voluntary nutrition labeling program. Raw Fruits, il Vegetables and Fish A November 1991 rule called for voluntary nutrition labeling for the 20 most commonly consumed raw fruits, vegetables and fish. By May, 1993, at least 60 percent of supermarkets must have voluntarily labeled at least 90 percent of these products on the package or made nutrition information available at the point of purchase. Brochures, pamphlets, posters, signs and reference booklets are acceptable sources of nutrition information. If not enough stores comply, the labeling of these foods will become mandatory. Standardized Foods The government has a “standard” recipe for about 300 common foods. These foods, such as mayonnaise, catsup, ice cream, margarine and peanut butter must now have nutrition labeling and a full ingredient listing. These new requirements also allow manufacturers to produce “healthier” versions of some food products (ice cream with modified levels of fat and cholestrol) and still use the familiar name, instead of calling the produce “imitation” or another name. New Label Format i The January 1993 labeling regulations require food manufacturers to include a new label format and a uniform list of nutrients on their products. This includes: calories, total fat as well as saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate as well as dietary fiber, sugars and protein. The nutrition information will be listed in grams or ihilligrams along with a Percent E)aily Value. The percent daily value is a new label reference number that shows how a food fits in a 2,000 calorie reference diet. Vitamins and minerals will be listed only as a percent daily value, which replaces the percent U.S. RDAs. Some labels will include a footnote at the bottom with the daily values for 2,000 and 2,500 calorie reference drets. The footnote will be the same on all nutrition labels. Right now you will see both the old labels and some new labels on food products in the grocery stores as manufacturers switch over to the new labels.
