County's Paper Ballots Keep Wilder in Race By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock County is one of only two counties in the state that votes entirely with paper ballots. Highland County is the other. A few counties have paper ballots in one or more precincts, and most counties use paper ballots for absentee voting. All of these counties, including Rappahannock and Highland, were faced with the problem of what to do when L. Douglas Wilder withdrew from the race for the U.S. Senate seat on September 15. He is now supporting incumbent Democratic Sen. Charles S. Robb, and his name will not appear on voting machines. Rappahannock’s ballots had already been printed. They had to be ready by September 23, the first day voters were allowed to cast absentee ballots. Some of the counties chose to pay to have the new ballots quickly printed V. • n. with former Governor Wilder’s name left off. Many, like Rappahannock and Highland, did not want to incur the expense. The county is solely responsible for the cost of printing ballots. v 5 Michael Brown, Secretary of the State Board of Elections, said it was left up to the counties to decide what to do. The state board encouraged counties that did not have new ballots printed to send a letter with absentee ballots informing voters that Gov. Wilder had withdrawn, since many of those ballots go out of state and overseas to voters who may not know about that. However, he said the board expects voters who vote in person to know that Gov. Wilder has withdrawn, and the state board will not require that they be inSee Ballots, Page A-8 Kenner Love Begins Work as County Agent By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Kenner Love of Washington is the new agriculture extension agent at the Rappahannock County Extension Office. Mr. Love comes from the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District office, where he was employed for seven years. That office serves Culpeper and Rappahannock Kenner Love Counties, so he has actually been working in this county for seven years. He graduated from Virginia Tech in 1985, and worked as a herdsman in Montgomery County, Virginia, managing a feed lot and cow-calf operation. Having grown up on a small cattle farm in Grayson County, Mr. Love has always been extremely interested in agriculture and natural resources. Last week was his first on the job, and most of his time so far has been spent in orientation, going through mail, and basically familiarizing himself with the extension office. He said that he worked with a lot of the same clients in the agricultural community in his last job that he will be working with in his job as extension agent. His job will be split, working about half his time with the agricultural community and half with 4-H duties, which he shares with Helen Smith. Many volunteers also help out with 4-H, which he said is appreciated a great deal. Mr. Love will work witn beer producers, apple growers and other agricultural producers in the county and make recommendations. The office will organize educational programs and offer advice. Mr. Love is also well versed in computer programming for recordkeeping and is ready to help anyone in the agricultural field with their computers. He said that the extension office’s information system is basically through the computer. Mr. Love said that some of the local beef producers are trying some new crops, such as pumpkins, to supplement their business. He said that he looks forward to visiting farms around the county. “I always wanted to work in agriculture and natural resources. It gives me an opportunity to expand my career and it is nice to be just two miles from work,” said Mr. Love. He lives in Tiger Valley with his wife, Kim. Planners Review Of County Comp Plan Beginning ' ■ Application for B&B On Mountain Denied By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer ^ The Planning Commission finally began its review of the Comprehensive Plan last Wednesday. County Administrator John McCarthy presented draft copies of the first two chapters to commission members, and they had few changes to suggest. The introductory chapter covers the challenge of managing growth, the state legislative background for the Comprehensive Plan as the guiding document to meet that challenge, and the history of planning in the county and county government.! The second chapter deals with environmental factors such as the location, history, geology, climate, topography, soils and forests of the county. Under history, the plan mentions five villages (Amissville, Chester Gap, Flint Hill, Sperryville and Woodville) and the town of Washington. Bonnie Lofton asked why Laurel Mills was not mentioned as a village. Mr. McL-artny saia tne plan envisions directing growth around the villages, and |the five mentioned have immediate access to primary highways while Laurel Mills does not. i i Mrs. Lofton said that is what makes Laurel Mills attractive as a village because it was not cut by a major highway. The planners said the final version of the plan might recognize settlement areas, like Laurel Mills, without designating them as villages suitable for growth. Richard McNear suggested copies of the draft should be clearly labeled “draft” and made available to the public. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative Sharon Pierce asked when Mr. McCarthy planned to try to draw the public into the process of reviewing the plan. He said he would do that after the draft is finished. “I’m reluctant to try tq sell a document that hasn’t been written,” he said. Phil Irwin said the planners have a “unique opportunity to make sure we have a chance to develop in a manner that is different from surrounding counties.” The planners will work on one chapter each month until they have covered all eight, with the final one being the chapter that sets out goals for the county. Earlier the planners agreed to postpone discussion of the final site plan for Werner Krebser’s Flint Hill Square. Dr. Krebser said he had been out of the country and did not submit his plan a week before the meeting. Building inspector Richie Burke said he would be required to provide handicapped access to the lower floor either by putting handicapped parking in the back or with something like an elevator inside. Dr. Krebser’s plan showed one handicapped parking space in back but no road leading to it. Neighbors John and Peggy Ralph had said at earlier meetings they did not want a driveway and parking in the back of the building, which faces their property. The planners recommended John and Maureen Parent be denied a special use permit to build a bed and breakfast on top of Bessie Bell Mountain on a right-of-way from Route 626 behind Mt. Lebanon Church. The Parents said they planned to start with two bedrooms, one for themselves, and add up to three more bedrooms. Phil Irwin said the county already had more than enough bed and breakfast rooms. “I doubt any more are economically viable,” he said. He added the state B and B Association would not accept membership from a B and B that is on a right-of-way. Dr. Krebser said the building code requires that any facility renting out more than two rooms meet See Planners, Page A-8 Auction Piece Photo courtesy of Frederick Hart Frederick Hart’s lucite sculpture “Reflections”is expected to be the biggest hit at Middle Street Gallery’s second annual auction Saturday.

Two Plead Guilty in County Circuit Court By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ntwi Staff Writer “I am sorry. I made a mistake and I’m sorry.” Those were the words spoken in Rappahannock County Circuit Court last Thursday by James Franklin Butler, 34, of Culpeper, who pleaded guilty to receiving property which had been stolen from David and Helen Smith. In an indictment dated Jan. 11, 1993, Mr. Butler was charged with a felony, but in a plea agreement entered into with the Commonwealth, the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke asked Judge W. Shore Robertson to hand down the maximum jail sentence of 12 months to Mr. Butler, and he did. Mr. Luke said that Mr. Butler had a bad record, but with Mr. Butler’s cooperation he had secured the conviction of a co-defendant in the case. I Judge Robertson granted T.C. Lea’s request to have his client, Mr. Butler, report to the Rappahannock County Jail at 6 p.m. on Nov. 1 to begin serving his sentence. A motion to reduce bond for Samuel L. Robinson, 25, of Culpeper was denied by Judge Robertson for several reasons. Mr. Robinson was to be tried in Circuit Court on Aug. 18 and failed to appear. A capias was issued, and he was picked up in North Carglina on a speeding violation on Sept. 4 and returned to Rappahannock County for incarceration. n ■ ' Mr. Robinson argued that he had the court date mixed up; he thought he was to appear in court on Sept. 18, which is a Sunday. His attorney, Roy Bradley, told the court that Mr. Robinson had a place to stay and had a job, and hoped the bond could be reduced from $20,000 to $5,000. A jury found Mr. Robinson guilty of brandishing a firearm, a misdemeanor, earlier this year. He is due to be tried in November for three felonies connected to the same incident. Mr. Luke informed Judge Robertson that Mr. Robinson had been indicted for three drug distribution charges in June in Culpeper County. Mr. Robinson said, “I was just in the wrong place.” Mr. Bradley argued that his client would not be a threat to society if he was released, and that his failure to appear in court on Aug. 18 was negligent, not willful. Mr. Luke asked the judge to deny the bond reduction because a $10,000 bond was not enough to ensure his appearance in court on Aug. 18. He also said that Mr. Robinson had gone to Virginia Beach without notifying his parole officer and that he had not been on good behavior. In Circuit Court on Tuesday, Leonard Morgan Eppard, Jr., 30, of Washington, pleaded guilty to two counts of dfcgravated sexual battery and two counts qf sodomy. His victim was a ten year-old boy. Judge Carleton Penn sentenced Mr. Eppard to 40 years in the Vir General District Court The following cases were heard in General District Court Tuesday Oct. 18 and not previously reported in the Rappahannock News.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said, “The agreement is 40 years with 20 to serve, and 10 years’ supervised probation. I ran the guidelines on this and my computation came to 26 years, so the Commonwealth feels this is in the guidelines.” Mr. Luke said that the victim, whose name was not released because he is a juvenile, was ten years old at the time of the offenses, which occurred in August and September, 1993. He said, “I met with him last Friday. When I told him we had a plea agreement (instead of a jury trial where the boy would have to testify), it was like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders.” Mr. Eppard’s attorney, T.C. Lea, said that as in almost all cases of this nature, his client was molested as a child. He also said that he felt the plea agreement was appropriate. Mr. Eppard could have been fined up to $100,000 for each charge, according to J udge Penn. Mr. Luke said that the victim was the son of Mr. Eppaiu's girlfriend, and that Mr. Eppard had committed oral sodomy on the victim and had fondled the victim’s penis with his hands. Before sentencing, Judge Penn told Mr. Eppard that with crimes of this nature there is a great deal of tendency, or compulsion, to repeat that contact. He also said, “Be assured that if you come back into society and do this again, you will have that 20 years (suspended sentence) looking at you. Despite the counselling you have, you will have a desire for young children.” Mr. Eppard is to have no contact with the victim without written consent of his parole officer and the victim and his mother. He must also pay the costs of his court proceedings within six months after his release from incarceration, and be registered with the Virginia State Police, which is a requirement for certain sex offenders in this state. laws of LJfe Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Lou Matter Instructor Art Smith from the Amissville Fire Department instructs Barbara Jamieson from the Sperryville Rescue Squad and Shirley Evens of the Remington Fire Department in using a hydraulic rescue tool.

The property is for sale. ■Robert Fadely, vice president for manufacturing, said the property has been listed with a national agency. He said the company hopes to sell it to another manufacturing 1 company. It has been shown once, but there was no “follow-up communication," he said. He said he does not believe problems with the wells on the property and one at a nearby Pentecostal church will hold up the sale. In November, 1993 water from the well that served the plant was tested for a variety of volatile organic compounds under new EPA requirements. The water had . 10 parts per million of trichloroethylene. The EPA acceptable level is .05 ppm. Subsequent tests confirmed that the chemical was in the water. For most of its last year the plant trucked in bottled water for the workers and for the church. The water problems “will have to be cleared up whether the plant is sold or not,” Mr. Fadely said. “It has no bearing on the salability of the property.” uonaia bitten, wno manages utilities for Aileen, said that since the initial tests, further tests were done on other wells in the Flint Hill area and all of them were safe, indicating the problem had not spread. Working with NET, a Charlotte, N.C. engineering firm, he said, further tests would be done to determine the source of the problem. Mr. Litten said the problem is “not as bad as it sounds when you say the wells are contaminated.” He said that some question the EPA’s new standards and that the company had never experienced health problems with people who drank the water. William Thomas, a geologist with NET, said next the company will drill three additional monitoring wells “in different locations and elevations across the site” to try to determine the extent of the impacted ground water. They will also do “packer tests” on the two wells already on the property. Mr. Thomas said that “inflatable packers” are inserted into the wells. They can seal .Real Estate Eileen M.

If the property is empty, why not? In this situation, sellers are likelv to want a pre-settlement decorator agreement, a contract which allows the buyer to paint and repair the property, but not occupy it. Such agreements routinely call for the buyer to pay all utilities and sometimes to pay a weekly tee. Decorator agreement'- arc often easy to obtain before a closing because they routinely have a "got va" clause Such forms usually provide that in exchange for early access, not only will buyers pay a fee and underwrite utility costs, but that purchasers also accept the property in "as-is" condition. In effect, such wording may mean that in exchange fore early access to the property, the buyer's right to demand repairs and warranty work can be lost or limited.

Phone 675-3033, We're here to help off sections of the well at different fracture zones in the earth. “We will seal off above and below each fracture and take samples from each fracture zone,” he said. “This can show if one zone is responsible” or if all the fracture zones are impacted.” Results from these tests will be sent to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Then the firm and VDEQ will recommend what must be done to mediate the situation, Mr. Thomas said. According to records at the Commissioner of Revenue Office, Aileen Inc. owns property in the county assessed at $1.75 million. The company owns 36.6 acres with the plant and a house on it assessed at $1.74 million and another 3.91 acres of unimproved land assessed at $13,700. The land in the larger parcel is assessed for $151,300 and the improvements for $1.58 million. Of that $81,900 is for the house, and the rest is for the plant. Real estate taxes were paid ob the property through 1992, but $11,808, including a 10 percent penalty for late payment, but not including interest which grows monthly, is owed for 1993 taxes, and new tax bills for $12,070 have been sent out, according to records at the Treasurer’s office.

Mr. Scott calls himself “an early pioneer of talk and news radio formats.” While at WRC, which was NBC’s flagship station, he developed WRC Newstalk 98, w'hich introduced many now nationally known broadcast personalities, including Pat Buchanon, Mark. Russell, Tom Braden, Robert Novak, John McLaughlin, and Mort Saul. Two of NBC’s most successful programs, “Confrontation,” with Tom Braden and Pat Buchanon and “Mark Russell’s Commentary,” were both created by Mr. Scott. He said that many of these men have gone on to become familiar faces on CNN or in TV syndicated public affairs programs. While at WRC, he developed a talk manual, now copyrighted, which was the style book for WRC and NBC radio. Mr. Scott’s most recent stint, however, was as the Director of VOA Europe, where he was headquartered in Munich, Germany from 1984-1990. He was recruited by the White House to devise a way to generate interest in radio among young people in western Europe. He said that VOA Europe provides individual stations with “the sound of a typical American commercial radio station.” “We talked mostly to the successor generation, which was defined as anyone who could not remember World War II. In a new marketing area, you look for a niche. You research it and identify the negatives. You remove them and give them the positives,” he said. The VOA format was more of a rock and roll station than a classical format, which of course appealed more to that “successor generation.” Mr. Scott said that one of the first things to do when he arrived in Munich was to do research to find out about • European attitudes toward America, and was surprised to find so many anti-American attitudes. “In England we found a great resentment about the U.S.,” he said. He said that most of the young people did not realize that the Marshall Plan had given $22 billion to England after the war. In response to this, they developed a 15-part series, two minutes each, on the Marshall Plan. Blue Ridge OB/GYN Services Announces the Association of William Reeves, D.O.

MCCARTHY COU NT Y A DM INI ST R ATf )R After finding out interesting facts about how Europeans felt about America, one being that 75 percent believed J.R. Ewing of the “Dallas” television show to be a typical American father, the station decided to run a series of spots to educate Europeans about people living in the U.S. today. The program was entitled “Hands Across the Sea.” Mr. Scott said that researchers travelled around the U.S. visiting homes of all sorts of people. He said that a lot of people visited were proud of their heritage, “but were Americans first.” The series showed how Czechs and Slovaks came to America and settled on the prairie. Mr. Scott said that they did not get along with each other “way back when” but that they,, learned the spirit of cooperation. The series also included Russian farmers who had settled in the Dakotas, and the Dutch who had settled in Holland, Michigan. The series showed that people were proud of their heritage, and held festivals in remembrance of their ancestry. Mr. Scott said that he received a nine page letter from an Italian Marxist from Milan who defended his position as a Marxist, but said that having listened to the series “Hands Across the Sea,” he was convinced that he should go and see America. Mr. Scott said that now VOA Europe encompasses hundreds of stations and markets from deep in the Soviet Union and Iceland to the Mediterranean. Besides running his bed and breakfast with his wife, he still has a keen interest in the broadcast business and does occasional consulting in international broadcasting. : ' l I ; Aliens Workers Must Replace Green Cards Foreigners working in the U.S. need to replace their “green cards” by March 20.

I WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1994 Charles S. Robb ■ . 1 Sen. Charles Robb is facing his first difficult election campaign. He seems almost shell shocked. We hope he will come out with a more vigorous effort in the last two weeks. As governor Sen. Robb managed without raising taxes to bring Virginia teacher salaries from near the bottom of states to near the average. Unfortunately since that time salaries in Virginia have slipped behind again. Women and minority citizens made large gains during his tenure. Whatever he may or may not have been doing in Virginia Beach during those years, in general his governorship was marked With civility completely missing from the current political climate. Since going to the U.S. Senate Charles Robb has worked to promote good legislation. He is a fiscal conservative and,* social liberal. He believes in balancing the federal budget, not in sloganeering about the issue. He has not sought glory by sponsoring legislation but has instead tried to work within the system to improve legislation that comes before the Senate. We feel he deserves another term. Fortunately Saddam Hussein had the sense not to believe Oliver North when he said the American military could not fight Iraq in the desert again. Virginians would do well to follow his example. North and his supporters claim that his actions during ' the Iran-Contra era were those of a patriot. They claim that his steadfastness caused the downfall of a Marxist regime in Nicaragua and brought about the release of American hostages held in Lebanon. That is not the way we remember those events. The Nicaraguan people voted out the Sandanistas when lack of military support from the United States forced the contras to ; negotiate a cease fire. Even if you believe the Reagan administration was right to find ways to continue military aid to the Contras after Congress voted to cut off such aid, the other part of the equation did not make sense. Perhaps one of two hostages were freed as a result of the arms sales Oliver North negotiated for Iran, but immediately more hostages were seized. By providing arms in exchange, North’s efforts created a market for American hostages. Col. North’s suggestions for dealing with the national fiscal situation do not make sense. You cannot balance the federal budget by cutting taxes (thus reducing government revenue) and increasing spending on defense. This simply increases government debt. Marshall Coleman comes from the moderate wing of the Virginia Republican Party centered in the Shenandoah Valley. Since leaving the valley he has wandered all over the ideological landscape. Even if he enjoyed enough support to be a creditable candidate, which he does not, his flip-flops on abortion make us wonder whether there is any “there” there. We are not optimistic, but we hope voters will give Sen. Frank R. Wolf Rep. Wolf has conscientiously tried to serve the people of his 10th District. Rappahannock is a very small part of that district, but when he heard that a plant located in Rappahannock County was closing, putting over 100 people out of work, he immediately set to work to help them find new jobs. We have not always agreed with Rep. Wolf. We deplore his tendency to talk of slashing spending to reduce the deficit while trying to get as much government spending as possible in the 10th District. We particularly dislike his attempt to create another national park out of a string of Civil War battlefield sites in the Shenandoah Valley when the National Park Service lacks the funds it needs to maintain the facilities it already has in the Shenandoah National Park. However we believe he is a genuinely compassionate man who has earned another term in the House of Representatives. Advanced Chemistry Discussed To the Editor; Since there was discussion last week in this paper about offering AP Chemistry at RCHS, I wish to take this opportunity to ask some questions about the planning to do this. 1) What is the school division willing to suppy in material support? Some history; The last time we had this course, for the first year I stripped the budget from other classes to get materials for the three students in this class. The second year I chose not to take from other classes. As a partial solution, I requested $200 from the school division for materials, and was turned down. In fact, originally I was told the school system could not even afford the three student textbooks, until I offered to pay for them out of my pocket. What is the plan now for supplying lab materials? z) is this to be a second level chemistry course, or the College Board’s “Advanced Placement” (AP) course? The AP focuses on math problems, and requires one hour to several hours of work at home every night. The rigor and demands of the AP chemistry class can be such that a student’s interest, motivation and learning are actually harmed by the class. 3) What thought has gone into creating another class with an enrollment of 3 or 4 students? What will be the impact on regular science classes? The enrollment of several RCHS science classes today exceeds nationally recognized safety limits as well as the limits for effective learning. 4) This year two or three science teachers are not assigned their labs during planning period, which adversely affects their ability to set up and take down labs—especially chemistry labs. Physics labs, in contrast, consist of pieces of equipment that can be gradually set up, a little each day. Chemistry solutions tend to need to be prepared for the day of use, or the next day. A consequence of the lack of access to the lab is that this year’s chemistry classes will do less lab work. What is the plan for college level lab work? 5) Most Virginia high school chemistry teachers prepare for one subject—chemistry. Some chemistry teachers prepare for two subjects. Less than 10 percent prepare for three subjects. Most college instructors prepare for one subject. If we add a college level class, is the intent to expect a virtually unprededented four subjects to be prepared i by the teacher? 6) The first year such a course was given here (several years ago) the class met before school every day as well as on school snowdays and some holiday, to keep on schedule and to get college-level labwork done. This school division for two years has not made up large numbers of snow days. What is the commitment to academic standards in terms of putting ih the days? 7) What are to be the science and math pre-requisites and co-requisites? \ A second level chemistry class is indeed needed by a few students. That’s why I put in the time and effort last time. But is the intent to of Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Brant Marlett keeps the ball away from Ryan Brown in a Rappahannock Soccer League match last Saturday. II fer a champagne class on a beer budget, or to do it right? A second level chemistry class has the potential to be a situation that will not only adversely affect students who take the class, but also science students not taking the class as well as the teacher. If Rappahannock is prepared to provide the support that is needed for such a class, then it will be positive development. BRION PATTERSON RCHS science teacher Opposes UN Use of US Troops To the Editor: I The United Nations has invaded Haiti in the name of peace. This strategy is known as “perpetual war for perpetual peace” and our President supports it. President Clinton iiivoked the name of the United Nations several times while announcing that America’s military forces were being deployed to Haiti. He even stated that the mission was ‘to carry out the will of the UN.’ But he never cited the U.S. Constitution he swore to uphold because even he knows there is no authorization anywhere in it for his Haiti misadventure. Mr. Clinton labeled the Haitian military leaders brutal murderers, savage rapists and child killers. Yet Jean-Bertrand Aristide, whom Mr. Clinton wants back in office, is himself an advocate of necklacing, one of our century’s most vicious forms of torture and killing. The President’s deployment of troops to Haiti has little to do with the plight of the Haitian people but is instead extremely usefol to those who seek to transfer U.S. sovereignty to the UN. Like previous deployments of U.S. forces under the umbrella of the UN, it will likely even strengthen the men who are the supposed target, v Our forces went into Iraq under UN auspices and Saddam Hussein ended up more powerful; now we’re "What am I supposed to be? I'm a politician or a TV evangelist... both about the same. Ma'am." Ill back in Iraq again. Our forces then went into Somalia under a UN mandate and a warlord named Aidid grew in power. What will happen in Haiti? i Recently our President has found excuses to use our troops in one engagement after another in order to condition the American people to accept UN domination of our military and our nation. This was the bottom line in Somalia and Iraq, and now in Haiti. A one-world army is being strengthened for the day when the United Nations will rule the world in the New World Order. Americans, step up your demands that our troops be brought hope—from Haiti and also from Asia, Europe, Latin America, and other foreign lands where they have been posted. The President must obey the Constitution. For more information about the coming New World Order write to me at 14222 Lee Highway, Gainesville, Va. 22065 or phone at 754-4611 after 6 p.m. , C. MASON GARDNER Gainesville Not Hysterical To the Editor: After reading the letter from Lois Manookian (Oct. 19), I picked up my own copy of the Republican document she wrote about to see for myself just how “hysterical” it was. All I saw was a sheet of ordinary white paper, printed on both sides, with nothing underlined, no italics, no words printed entirely in capitals, and not an exclamation point in sight. How you can be hysterical in print, on both sides yet, with nothing underlined, no italics, no words printed ENTIRELY in capitals, and not an exclamation point in sight, I SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!! Excuse me. I didn’t mean to shout. What I was holding in my hand, and what your are holding now, are simply examples of something more precious than gold and more in peril in this country these days than clean water or the spotted owl. It’s called free speech. EDITH POND Sperryville Change Batteries Too To the Editor: Here we are at the end of October and winter is right around the comer. Winter, for the local Volunteer Fire Departments means chimney fire, and unfortunately, structural fire season. Each year there are many structural-fire related deaths. Having a charged and ready smoke detector/alarm could result in fewer deaths. This weekend is the weekend we change our clocks. With changing our clocks, this is also a good time to change the batteries in our smoke detector/alarms. If you don’t have a smoke detector/alarm, now is a good time to buy one. They can be purchased at just about any department store at prices as low as $5. That is a small price to pay for such a life saving object. It is also a good idea to test your smoke detector/alarm at least once a month, and it doesn’t hurt the run the vacum over them to get the dust out either. WAYNE DODSON Fire Captain AVFD Thanks to Dr. Gangel To the Editor: I wish to express my gratutude to Eh*. Ganglel for his consideration, of the special ed K-2 students. He recommended to the Scholol Board that they too be moved into the new K-2 school wing and the School. Board agreed. I also thank the editor of this paper for her supportive editorial and all of the concerned persons for their, efforts promoting the K-2 special ed cause. MARYBETH SHANKLE i Sperryville Credit to Clinton To the Editor: w What does a president have to do to get a little credit? For the first time in forty years, American cities are not targeted by nuclear missiles.With at least some help from Clinton, South Africa, the Near East; Northern Ireland, Haiti and North Korea (cross your fingers!) are moving in the right direction. We have not had much success in nation building in Central Africa, but tens of thousands of Somalis and Rwandans are alive today because of our efforts. The richest 1.2 percent of Americans took a hit on taxes, but 50 million Americans live in the families of working taxpayers who had their taxes cut. The budget deficit has been cut sharply three yers in a row for the first time since Truman was president. As a result, 5.4 million homeowners were able to refinance their mortgages, saving them $10 billion in one year. We are well on the way to cutting the federal payroll by some 262,000 jobs. More than 3.5 million privatesector jobs have been created. The Family and Medical Leave Act has become law. The largest anti-crime bill in history has been passed, including a ban on assault weapons. The Brady bill passed. The North American Free Trade Act passed, and exports to Mexico are booming. Nearly one million children will participate in Head Start. World class education standards are being set. 20 million students can use the improved student loan program. National Service lets students earn college tuition help by helping in their communities. The special interests were able to stop Clinton’s health-care reform, (spending tens of millions of dollars in the process) but he put it on the agenda and it is not stopped forever. But for the bare-faced obstructionism of the GOP, we could have had campaign reform, lobbyist control and GATT, the largest world-wide tax cut in history. AUGUSTUS C.

Off Again On a Sea of Similes JAMES J. KILPATRICK Univenal Prtu Syndicate You may recall the Great Simile Contest of 1993. It produced an overwhelming response, notably from schoolchildren all over the country. Here we go again. It’s time for the Great Simile Contest of 1994. Boot up your computers and sharpen your pencils, all you students of the writing art, and try your hand for fame and fortune. Not much fortune, but abundant fame. This year we seek original similes in two general fields: solidity and laughter. By “solidity,” we mean things that are hard as rock, or solid as mush. A politician’s support could be solid. Marriage could be solid. A bowl of grits is not solid. By “laughter,” we mean to embrace similes for the giggle, the guffaw, the belly laugh, and the smile in all its infinite variations. As funny as canned laughter? A giggle like a solo for flute? Who or what lacks a sense of humor? Here are the rules for 1994: • Your simile must be contained within a sentence, e.g., “She gave him a look that was as hard as a burned biscuit.” • Every contestant may submit ii only one simile for something solid and only one simile involving laughter. It would be a convenience if these were on separate sheets of paper, but we run a loose ship and no one-will be disqualified on a technicality. • Send you entries to The Writer’s Art, in care of the Rappahannock News, P.O. Box 59, Washington, VA 22747. • the deadline: Nov. 26,1994. • Prizes: For individual contests (non-students), $100 for the best Sycamore Hill Gets Reviews Sycamore Hill House & Gardens, the bed and breakfast atop Menefee Mountain just outside Washington, received a glowing review in the October/November issue of The Riv- ^ iera Reporter, a French/English magazine publishes in the South of France. The magazine dubs itself “a taste of the best in the Cote D’Azur, and then some.” Contributing Editor Molly Brown, who was a guest at Sycamore Hill House while visiting Washington in August of this year, called the B&B her “favourite country inn, a unique mountaintop B&B where the only sound is the soft chirping of crickets and occasional bird calls.” Ms. Brown remarked on the “spectacular 90-degree view across Virginia’s tree covered Blue Ridge Mountains” from the circular veranda of Sycamore Hill. “The 52acre grounds are an ornithologist’s paradise,” the reported noted. Sycamore Hill House & Gardens is a certified National Wildlife habitat. Sycamore Hill House & Gardens was also one of only eight Northern Virginia inns recommended in the September issue of the Conde Nast Traveler, and was reviewed favorably in the October issue of Mid-Atlantic Country. Sycamore Hill House & Gardens has been operated by Kerri and Stephen Wagner since Jan. 1988. simile in the solidity division, $100 for the best simile involving laughter. For classrooms, $100 for the best all-around class entry from elementary and middle schools (one simile per student in the class), and $100 for the best all-around class entry from a high school (one simile per student in the class). • Be sure to include, name, address and telephone number. Classroom teachers should let me know the grade level and the name and address of the school. That’s about the size of it. Last year 5,019 individuals and classrooms submitted entries. We wound up with more than 20,000 similes for “slender” and “exciting,” and the judging was close. “As slender as Cinderella’s ankle” won the slender division; “as exciting as a poached egg” took the other prize. Originality counts most of all. In their 1991 collection of similes, Mike and Elyse Somer cataloged a few similes for “hard.” Novelist Mary Stewart spoke of “bread as hard as pumice.” E.B. White looked at “soil as hard as a bowling alley,” Russell Baker of The New York Times has a splendid sentence: “Americans like their fish, and fish roe too, fried hard as a bulletproof vest.” A few others: Emerson wrote of “words as hard as cannonballs.” Dickens evidently was the first to speak of something “hard as nails.” Shakespeare wasn’t especially original: “hard as steel” would have been his entry. Other writers have come up with “hard as green apples,” “hard as an egg at Easter” and “hard as a billiard ball.” All of us recognize that laughter comes in many forms. The Sommer collection lists similes for chuckles, giggles, grins, big laughs and little laughs. One of Eudora Welty’s characters had “a high laugh, like a dove cry.” Oscar Wilde has a laugh “like a thrush singing.” Nathaniel Hawthorne hears “a peel of laughter like the ringing of silvery bells.” Other writers have compared laughs to butterflies, rippling streams and runs on a guitar. ✓ A few words of advice: Writers who write good similes have learned to look intently at the world around them. It is from this constant, absorbed observation that images and comparisons emerge. We look intently at fallen leaves: What do we see? What EXACTLY do we see? What are the colors of autumn? Are the maple’s leaves as red as a toreador’s cape? As red as lipstick? Fire wagons? Ketchup? The best similes are brief similes. Last year’s contest brought a simile' for “exciting”: “as exciting as a double match point at the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadow.” The final prepositional pharse, “in /Flushing Meadow,” was redundant. When similes run on and on, they lose their impact. Every word should contribute to the image being formed. All set? What as solid? Stones, walls, biceps, cinderblocks? Or what is soft? JeU-O, spring rain, a child’s kiss? Let us listen intently to the sound of laughter. What arouses mirth? When we hear laughter at a dinner party, what are we reminded of? Do horses laugh? How do horses laugh? One more reminder: complete sentences. Deadline Nov. 26. Send individual and classroom entries to The Writer’s Art, in care of the Rappahannock News. Let the fish fry proceed!

The Conservative Media & Ollie North Ollie North blames the criticism of his character on the "Liberal Media". Let's see what the "Conservative Media" says about Ollie North. The Reader's Digest says; (Jone 1993 Issoe) t "Thanks to those shredded records, for much of the Iran-Contra story we have only North's word to go on. Too many past discrepancies have tan ns that Oliver North's word is not always enough.", The Wall Street Journal says; (October 6,1994) 1 , "And interviews with a score of former colleagues, from the militate and the Reagan administration sngge instead that many who know him best are horrified that Oliver North seems headed to the II.S. Senate. They oppose him not because of his idealogy or what today he professes to believe. They oppose him not because they see Sen. Robb or independent Marshall Coleman as an attractive alternative. They oppose him because having known and worked closely with Oliver North they believe he's a liar." If those who know OHie North can't trust him, How Can We?

Martinez. "Virginia Connections” is a strategic plan for transportation that outlines a series of initiatives to attain a safe, efficient, intermodal transportation system with seamless connections among all modes. The report identifies a new approach to allow Virginia to retain and improve its commpetitve position in the national and international economies. It is the result of a concentrated effort by the agencies within the Transportation Secretariat—Virginia Department of Transportation, Department of Motor Vehicles, Virginia Department of Aviation, Department of Rail and Public Transportation—as well as the Virginia Port Authority and the private sector. A wide variety of initiatives are recommended for all areas and modes of transporatiort, including passenger as well as freight. Privatization initiatives are proposed to increase the transportation financing base by attracting private capital for transportation for the delivery of facilities and services. The result will produce an infusion of capital to expand funding for transportation in the Commonwealth. Regulatory barriers that interfere with the efficient use of the transportation network are identified and will be recommended for removal. The deregulatory environment will be enhanced by such concepts as giving motor carriers a “one-stop shopping” opportunity to obtain all the credentials and approvals necessary for operation, instead of dealing with as many as five different agencies, as is now the case. f Intermodalism will be achieved by improving the potential connections among all transportation modes, thereby providing a full range of transportation alternatives for passengers and freight. Strategic investments will be made to establish access and interconnectivity among the modes. A multimodal Freight Advisory Group, composed of private carriers will be created to advise the boards and commissions of the state’s policy-making agencies on issues related to the movement of freight. Virginia will continue its efforts that have made it one of the leaders in the use and development of the latest transportation technology. One of the highlights in this area is the development of the “Smart Highway” in the Roanoke-Blacksburg corridor. The Virginia Department of Transportation, in partnership with Virginia Tech’s Center for Transportation Research, is included as a participant in the National Automated Highway System consortium, led by General Motors. That consortium was selected earlier this month by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The inclusion in this consortium, and the emphasis on technology in the strategic plan, ensures that the state’s position in research and state-of-theart technology will be used to improve the quality and efficiency of the state’s transportation network. The interim report has been sub'mitted to Gov. George Allen for his review. Many of its proposals contain information and suggestions gained from a series of public transportation forums in various areas of the state in July and August. These forums, conducted by Virginia’s Deputy Transportation Secretary, Shirley J. Ybarra, received comments and suggestions from private sector transportation companies, local, regional and statewide entities and the general public. After a public hearing in early November, the final plan is expected to be completed by Dec. 1.

But now, chefs are recommending using Virginia wines in cooking that special meal. Cooking with Virginia wines is not just a matter of taste, it can be a healthy alternative to using fats and butter as a cooking medium. “The alcohol in the wine evaporates during cooking, but leaves the flavor of the wine. You can accentuate the taste of the wine by serving the same wine during dinner,” explained Mary Davis-Barton, Wine Maketing Specialist with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. In addition, for people who are watching their cholesterol, a half cup of wine can be substituted for a half cup of butter as a cooking medium. This cuts down on cholesterol as well as calorie intake. \ Basically when cooking with wine, there are four rules of thumb: • Use only those wines you would want to drink. • Taste the wine prior to using it to make sure it will complement your meal. • Cook wine long enough to evaporate the alcohol (alcohol quickly evaporates when sauces simmer). • Don’t get carried away and use too much wine. Use a Virginia wine such as a Ca- .. bemet Sauvignon produced at most of Virginia’s 43 wineriest to maHnate leaner meats. This not only adds flavor, but it also helps leaner, meat become more tender. Wine breaks down and softens protein; its acidity makes protein more tender. Mushrooms sauteed in Chardonnay are a fancy addition to any meal. Mrs. Davis-Barton suggests her own • sauteed mushroom recipe to add a wonderful accompaniment to a lean meat meal. Saute mushrooms in. Pam or another low fat cooking medium, add wine to the pan along with fat free sour cream. Serve this sauce over pork, beef or chicken. . - Add one of Virginia’s sparkling ' wines, produced at Barboursville, • Ingleside, Rose Bower, or Oasis wineries, to a vinaigrette salad dressing. Using olive oil and basil, substitute a sparkling wine for, the vinegar. Then serve over a bed of different lettuce leaves. Other Vir- . ginia wines which are excellent for cooking includes Gewurztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon or a dry red or white table wine. Save yourself one last step in; preparing a special meal by using a Virginia dessert wine such as a late harvest Vidal, Malvaxia or Viognier.

Pictured are Jason Carter, Eddie Sause, Jason Brown, Jeff Atkins, Ray Atkins and Mike Wolfe. Boys' Cross Country Reaches for Success By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The RCHS cross country team competed in the Octoberfest Invitational Meet held at Great Meadow in The Plains last Saturday. Over 60 teams participated, and RCHS was the only single A team there, said Coach David van de Graaff. He said that three of the top teams in the nation also were there. Unfortunately, results were not available at press time because of a computer malfunction at the meet, but the coach reports he was pleased with his team’s results. McNear Hopes Emory Team Has Big Year Emory University senior Susannah McNear of Washington is convinced that it’s not how you start something, but how you finish. The Eagle cross country runner has enjoyed success the past three seasons, but all have been slightly marred by disappointing team finishes. Miss McNear and teammates have won three consecutive NCAA Division II regional championships and invitations to the NCAA naitonal meet where the team has finished ' 14th, 14th and 21st, respectively. The Mercersberg Academy graduate wants another chance to help Emory finish higher at the nationals. “Susannah has been disappointed a couple, of times at the national meet and she wants to get it right this year,” Emory Coach John Curtin says. “She really wants the team to win the UAA (University Athletic Assocation) Championship, go back to the NCAA nationals and do well.” Based on early returns, Miss McNear will have that opportunity. She is healthy and running better than ever, according to her coach, and the Eagles are ranked 16th nationally by the Cross Country Coaches Association. Miss McNear recorded top-15 finishes in her first two races this season. She was fifth among all runners at the Georgia State University Invitational Sept. 17 with a time of 21 minutes and four seconds for the 5,000-meter course. The previous week, she placed 12th among all individuals at the University of the South (Tenn.) meet with a time of 20:54 for 5,000 meters. That time placed her 15th in a recent compilation of top times in the University Athletic Association (UAA). Last season, Miss McNear made the all-UAA second team after finishing 11th at the conference meet with a season-best time of 19:34 for 5,000 meters. She followed that up by making the NCAA all-region team with a ninth-place finish at the regional championships. Her time at the NCAA nationals was 19:39, nearly a full minute faster that her time at the 1992 NCAA national championships. Susannah is a consummate professional, a great competitor and provides a much-needed veteran influence on a young team,” Emory Coach John Curtin says. “If we can keep her healthy, who knows what she’s capable of accomplishing.” She has been hampered in previous seasons by leg stress fractures, a knee iryury and much more. ■ “But she keeps coming back and that tells you a lot about her competitive desire,” Coach Curtin says. Miss McNear is completing a double major in anthropology and human and natural ecology. She is the daughter of Richard and Jeanie McNear of Washington. TOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE. When you give to the Red Cross, you take on a great responsibility: saving thousands of lives. Maybe even your own. y In a meet held last Wednesday at Bleu Rock, the cross country team placed second with 36 points, just behind the winning Page County team, which had 34 points. Clarke finished with 61 points. Once again, Mark Jenkins and Eddie Sause finished first and second in the meet. Mark’s time was 17:47, and Eddie’s was 17:54. Finishing seventh was Jeff Atkins at 19:07; Mike Wolfe was 12th at 19:50; Chilean exchange student Ozzie Villar was 14th at 20:21; R.J. White was 15th, Ray Atkins 16th, and Jason Brown 18th. Caroline Baumgardner finished high up again, in fourth place for the girls with a time of 23:30. The Bull Run District meet was to be held at Stonewall Jackson on Oct. 26. The girls’ basketball teams had another unsuccessful week on the court. On Oct. 18, Stonewall Jackson defeated the junior varsity team 3313. Dawn Havstad was high scorer with six points, and Erica Beaver had four. The varsity team also lost to Stonewall Jackson, with a dismal score of 19-77. Coach Laura Conklin said that Kylene Wolfe had an excellent game, scoring seven points and seven rebounds. She said that Stonewall Jackson is one of the top teams in the district and has three players who are 6T tall. RCHS’s tallest player is 5’9‘. The games against Strasburg which were scheduled to be held last Thursday were cancelled due to the officials not showing up. That game has been rescheduled for this Monday night, and will be played at home. « Weekend Offers Large Variety of Halloween Events By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer There are Halloween activities to keep kids of all ages busy this weekend.

Liberty Wall List Growing In" Dedication of the Wall of Liberty in Normandy is scheduled for May 8, 1995, and enrollment of World War II veterans to have their names and hometowns inscribed continues, according to Nelson Revercomb of Peola Mills. To date, 63,000 veterans have signed up. Any person who served in Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa during World War II is eligible. The Battle of Normandy Foundation hopes to have 150,000 registered by the time of the dedication.

Kennedy press secretary Pierre Salinger is volunteer President of the Battle of Normandy Foundation and chairman of the National Wall of Liberty Campaign. To register a veteran for the Wall of Liberty call Mr. Revercomb at 987-8489 or the national campaign office at (800) WW2-VETS. A donation of $40 is requested, the the foundation asks that all American ETO vets register whether they can pay or not. Separate contributions are being sought to cover the cost of registration for those unable to pay. For Frank Wolf, representing people is more than a job,, it’s a responsibility that he takes very seriously. Congressman Wolf knows that trust is earned, so he sends everyone in the Tenth District his complete voting record. Frank Wolf is one congressman who listens and makes things happen by building bipartisan coalitions to get things done. And no one has a stronger record of standing up to special interests groups. ✓ Voted against wasteful spending and President Clinton’s budget containing the largest tax increase in history. ✓ Led efforts to bring the first federal telecommuting center to Winchester. ✓ Introduced legislation to provide tax relief for families. ✓ Worked to protect Civil War battlefield sites in the Shenandoah Valley.

( i , - i ■ Board To Name New Librarian The personnel committee of the Library Board expects to recommend a new librarian to the full board at Thursday’s meeting. The committee looked through 10 applicants for the position and conducted three interviews last week and earlier this week. Committee Chairman Roberta Anderson said several other members of the board sat in on the interviews with the personnel committee, and she expects the new appointment will be unanimously approved. She said the new librarian will be able to begin work by mid November. Current librarian Nicki Lynch resigned to accept a position as director of the Rockingham Regional Library in Harrisonburg. She will work with the new librarian for a short period of time. Once the new librarian is on board, one of her first responsibilities will be to select a part-time assistant. Assistant Librarian Elizabeth Jones, who also served as the children’s librarian, resigned earlier this fall to work on her masters degree. I I'm going to vote for anybody but North!

He noted that this is inf conflict with the county zoning ordinance that allows bed and breakfast establishments with up to five rooms. Mr. McCarthy noted most B and B applications that come in for a special use permit, use existing buildings and do no’t require a building permit. Member Sid Gottlieb said this was an unusual application in that it was for a building that had not been built. He asked the Parents if they would build the house if they do not receive a permit for the B and B. Mr. Parent said they probably would not. i Mr. Gottlieb said he did not find the argument that there are enough bed and breakfast businesses in the county compelling. “A planned economy leaves me cold,” he said, but he added he did see the concern about public safety. “An unsophisticated visitor looking for a B and B, I’d be afraid they would drive off the road.” Ms. Pierce said the road “makes a believer out of you.” She said the only way she would approve it would be if the Parents found another property to build on. Her motion that the planners recommend the BZA deny the application passed unanimously. The planners recommended the Board of Supervisors approve an application for a boundary adjustment for John Pullen. The change requires a special exception because a lot of more than 25 acres would be reduced to less than 25 acres. The density of housing will not be affected. Mr. Pullen said he was already grazing the property and maintaining the right-of-way that serves his property along the piece in question. He said that the property had been split up in a family subdivision and that his brother only uses the piece that would be added to his property for hunting.

However, Friday afternoon age and maturity, combined with a certain amount of craftiness, did pay off in basketball games when the women faculty defeated a student team 18 to 11 and the men’s team defeated the boys 31 to 24. Between the basketball and foot ball events, Friday night’s bonfire provided a sendoff for the cross country team, which entered an invitational meet at the Great Meadow Saturday morning. Team members managed to return in time to participate in some of Saturday’s activities, and indeed some of them were critical to their class’s success. Between the two Saturday games Derek Daczewitz was master of ceremonies for the parade of Homecoming Floats on the theme “Summer Memories” and convertibles bearing the Homecoming Queen candidates and princesses. ! \ Rappahannock News Staff Photos/Cindy Mahan The bonfire silhouettes a cheerleader Friday night. Trish Butler was crowned Queen of Homecoming and Jonathan Maeyer was recognized as King. ? The sophomores won the float competition with a float depicting a summer bar-b-que. The seniors, with a float representing more or less the ultimate “laid back” look, won second, and the freshman float with a fishing theme was third. Musical entertainment during the football games was provided by the high school band playing mostly pep band songs. The weekend of activities concluded with an “Evening in Paris” fat the Homecoming Dance. In the Friday afternoon games the girls jumped out to an early 7 to 0 lead, but the faculty closed it to 9 to 3 by the end of the half. Then the boys and men took to the floor, and again the students took an early 4 to 0 lead, but that did not hold up and , the men closed the half ahead 17 to 16. Faculty scoring was led by boys’ basketball coach Eugene Baltimore dressed in a cheerleader outfit. Faculty women’s scoring was led by girls’ basketball coach Laura Conklin. i Following a class competition in yelling, the girls and women took to the floor again. Mr. Baltimore donned a wig and briefly joined the women’s team giving them the boost they needed to take the lead. In the male competition the men increased their lead to 21 to 18, and then Todd Smoot pulled the students back in it 21 to 20. However, Principal John Toth added to the men’s score, and they were not to be denied. In Saturday’s game the freshmen jumped out to an early 14 to 0 lead over the sophomores, but the sophomores roared back to end the half down only 13 to 14. Each team had another touchdown in the second half, and the sophomores had a chance to tie when the1 freshmen failed to convert for an extra point, but the sophomore extra point attempt failed also and the freshmens ended with a 20 to 19 victory. In the second game Jason Brown got an early touchdown run for the juniors and they had an early 6 to 0 lead. By the end of the half the juniors were ahead 18 to 0 when Mark Jenkins intercepted a senior pass and ran it in for a touchdown. Flag football was turning into tackle football, as many found it impossible to grab the runner’s flag without tackling him. At one point Mike Wolfe lost his whole shirt before someone grabbed his flag. Luke Zindel’s shirt started out a normal length, but by the end of the game he sported the bare midriff look. In the second half Willie Shanks added another touchdown for the juniors and the extra point was successful giving the juniors a 31 to 0 lead. On the next to the last play of the game the seniors finally con Seniors Hope Dunn and Jessica Arnold get a ride on a float. nected on a pass to Andre Fletcher for a touchdown. The conversion attempt succeeded, earning the seniors an improbable two extra points, perhaps because senior Justin Day was calling the game, and the game ended with the juniors enjoying a 31 to 8 victory. John Switzer scored two touchdowns for the freshmen in their victory, and Mark Jenkins intercepted several passes for the juniors and ran at least two of them in for touchdowns. Nevertheless Justin Day announced that Susan Jewell was defensive player of the game. The senior girl did manage to prevent one additional junior class score. The sophomore class won the “spirit stick,” recognition for being the “most spirited" class for the week of homecoming activities. • j Competition was based on loud yelling at pep rallies, hall decorations, the floats and the numbers of students who dressed in the theme of the day during spirit week. National Honor Society sponsor Mrs. Herman reported the sophomores won all these competitions. On the men’s faculty Eugene Baltimore heads downcourt with the ball while David van de Graaff trails.

He said when they first arrived it was real tough. His officerin-charge, Air Force Captain Teresa Stith, brought Mike and 43 other maintenance people with her from Travis Air Force Base in California. They have been supporting the 436th Tanker Airlift Control Element operating Haiti’s largest airport since operations began there Sept. 19. Captain Stith said her crew is doing ok, considering the tough living conditions. Four hundred Air Force people live and work in a terminal that has only three latrines and no working showers. Captain Stith said the worst problem has been boredom. She said, “The guys are stuck in this airport with no way to blow off steam. Between shift changes, we hold a gripe session so people can get things off their chest.” Three people have committed suicide. Mike said they were working in 12-hour shifts, two guys would use the same cot; one would get out and the other one would crawl in. He said they sleep under a mosquito net; temperature is very hot and humid. It was 99 degrees when he called home last Saturday, Oct. 15. He said wearing full combat gear, including flak vests, when they first arrived really made it hot. Captain Stith also said they ahve had rodent and insect infestation in some areas. She said the biggest challenge is to keep up morale. Mike was just married in May to a lovely girl but she cannot speak and is deaf ' so it was real hard for him to leave her in California. Another mechanic SSgt Lyons; said he had been to Thailand, Egypt,Somalia, and Yemen, but that Haiti had been the worse living condv tions. This is Mike’s first deployment. He said it’s rougher than he thought it would be; he didn’t expect ot be: taking showers with buckets of wa' ter. Mike’s last call they had moved into a tent city and things have improved.

How incredible to imagine that God would, in yet a final stage of creation, go on to surpass such magnificence as He had already created. The psalmist David expressed this so eloquently in Psalm 8:3-5...“When I look at the heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars which Thou hast established; what is man that Thou art mindful of him?” Yet God wm mindful, bestowing upon humankind the royal crown of creation in His image and dominion over all of creation. As we worship each Sabbath, may wg be mindful of our unique hierarchy...our God-given moment in majesty.

Focus On Mail Order Foods By HELEN W. SMITH Exteiwion Afent, Home Economic* Everyone loves getting packages in the mail. Sometimes they are gifts of food - either homemade or from mail order. When it’s baked goods or shelf-stable canned items, the lucky recipient usually knows how to tell about its safety and what to do with it. But what about smoked turkeys, cheese, and sausage gift packs and other perishable items? Whether you are giving or receiving, there are some food safety tips you need to keep in mind for these special gifts. Tips For The Purchaser 1 Check with the company: Ask the mail order company how the gift will be packaged. It should be packed in foam or heavy corrugated cardboard. If it’s a perishable item like meat or poultry, it should be cold or frozen and packed with a cold source. Speedy Delivery: Aik the comapny how the food i HOME ECONOMICS will be mailed. If it’s a perishable item, it should be delivered as quickly as possible - ideally, overnight. Make sure perishable items and the outer package are labeled “Keep Refrigerated” to alert the recipient. Storage and Preparation Instructions: Will the food item come with ■fronefit fcingP Intents & Toddlers with Diso and Their Families November 5,1994 7:00 f. if Doore open at 5:® P.M. , »/f/f storage and preparation instructions? Some mail order food gift items are of an unusual nature and some consumers may not know how to handle or prepare them. Arrange a Delivery Date: Tell the recipient if the company has promised a delivery date. Or alert the recipient that “the gift is in the mail” so that they or a neighbor can be home to receive it. Otherwise it may sit unsafely on the front porch or at the post office for hours or even days. Don’t have perishable items delivered to an office unless you know it will arrive on a work day and there’s refrigerator space available for keeping it cold. Tips for the Receiver Check the Temperature: When you receive a food items marked “Keep Refrigerated,” open it immediately and check its temperature. Optimally, the food should arrive frozen or partially frozen with ice crystals still visible, or at least, refrigerator cold to the touch. If perishable food arrives warm, notify the company if you think you deserve a Members Enjoy Luncheon By HELEN PLATT Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer I The Rappahannock County Garden Club hosted a luncheon at Airlie in Warrenton for its October meeting. Members from other garden clubs in the area were invited to join the club for a program on “Fall and Holiday Decorations in the Colonial Style.” t r The speaker for the program was Libby Oliver, manager of floral services for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and author of “Colonial Williamsburg Decorates for Christmas.” The enthusiastic audience include not only members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club and their guests but visitors from Culpeper, Luray, Warrenton, and Front Royal. Not one was disap pointed in the demonstration arrangements. Ms. Oliver created as she spoke of the Colonial period in our history and the flowers and fruits which were available at that time for making home decorations. Hostesses for the luncheon, Marian White, Barbara Colvin and Beth DeBergh contributed a Williamsburg ambience to the occasion. They had made boxwood wreaths for table centerpieces, each one centered by a candle of Williamsburg blue toi match the tablecloths. These were given to a lucky guest at each table. Club President Helen Brown brought members back to reality with a reminder that the following day would be highway pickup day on Route 231, the club’s adopted highway. refund. Do not consume the food. But remember, it’s the shipper’s responsibility to deliver perishable food on time; the customer’s responsibility to have someone at home to receive the package. Keep It Cold: Refrigerate or freeze perishable items immediately. Even if a product is partially defrosted it is safe to freeze it, although there may be a slight loss of quality. Tips For the Mail-It Yourself Pack It Safely: Perishable foods will stay at a safe temperature longest if frozen solid first. After frozen, pack your food gift with a cold source such as a frozen gel pack or purchased dry ice. Use a Sturdy Box: Pack your frozen food and cold source in a sturdy box, such as heavy foam or corrugated cardboard. Fill up any empty space with crushed paper or foam “popcorn.” Air space in the box will cause the food and cold source to thaw faster. Label It Perishable: Your package should be clearly labelled “Perishable - Refrigerated.” As in “Tips for the Purchaser,” above, arrange a delivery date with the recipient. Ship your package by overnight delivery. \ These Dae, There’s No Such Thing As A ‘ ‘Simple Medical Procedure’ ’ i > It’s just a broken arm. Even without additional complications, it means a doctor, a nurse, x-rays, an x-ray technician, a cast, prescriptions, a pharmacist, insurance forms, check-ups, and so on. Careful cross-communication is needed every step of the way. That’s why some of the most advanced technology .in today’s hospitals isn’t in the operating room. It’s in the telecommunications network that lets all these different departments work together. From emergency calls to voice mail and data transmissions, the future is now at Sprint/Centel. We’re helping hospitals handle all these complicated tasks better so they can concentrate on one simple thing—being there for their patients. © IW. Central Telephone Company Sprint Centel f NSDAR Members Met,. Enjoyed Readings -r By LOUISA T. GROGAN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, NSDAR, met on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at the Rappahannock County Public Library. Presiding was the Regent, Mrs. Thomas Eastham, who welcomed members and ' thanked the ostesses Mrs. John M. Cheat wood, Mr# Douglas D. Fairfax and Mrs. Irvin R. Kilby. In the President General’s message, read by Mrs. Dieter Knuepfer, Mrs. Blair spoke of the satisfaction and sense of appropriateness in the roll that the DAR played in sponsoring the installation of plaques now permanently displayed in the Memorial Cloister of the American Cathedral in Paris. These are in memory of the 138,000 member of the American Armed Forces who gave their lives in World War II plus civilians, resistants, and other victims of the war in Europe who are dead or missing. Mrs. Edward I. Barton read an article form the National Defender on the decline of Marxism and the ; significance of Reaganism in the fight between the ideologies of communism and Capitalism with the latter winning. The power of the United States to protect liberty, combined with the economic might of a free economy, proved to be more than sufficient to crack the philosophical shell of Marxism. “Women in the Revolutionary War” was the title of the program for the afternoon, the speaker being Mrs. Dan. K. Shackleford. Women had to do everything at home plus working for the war effort, whether actually taking part in the effort or donating silver and jeweley to raise money. Women followed the men, too, in the war and the excess baggage entailed was somewhat compensated for as the women served as cooks, nurses and tended to all do*mestic needs. Some even took their husband’s place in the fight if he waskilled was were hailed as heroines, as for example, Margaret Cochran', Corbin known as Captain Mollie. • She died in 1800 and was reinterred in 1926 at the West Point Cemetery. Another heroine was Deborah Samson Gannett who dressed as a man , and served for five years, being wounded twice.

DIANE RELF Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer A traditional element in the homesites of most Virginians is the front yard. Whether it is a 15-by 20foot patch in front of a townhouse or an acre of land fenced-off from the rest of a farm, this space is set aside for public viewing and should be inviting scene. Lawn Becomes the Canvas Where space permits, a lawn becomes the canvas upon with most landscapes are constructed. When it is open and as wide as possible it gives the impression of spaciousness to the property. The ground should slope down from the house to cause water to move away from the foundation. If possible, the grading should provide gentle slopes which are easy to mow. Banks that exceed a foot of drop for each 2 feet of horizontal distance will be difficult to maintain in sod, hard to mow, and susceptible to erosion. Such an area as this would be better suited to ground cover plants. Trees Frame the House The appearance of many houses benefits if framed by trees. Locate tall species in the back yard to provide a green backdrop to the house. Plant medium-sized trees toward the sides of the front lawn area. This will focus attention of the residence as the most important feature of the landscape picture. Eappaljannock JJetos now has direct lines for CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING 1 -800-852-4797 A planting of shrubs or small* trees is often located around the house to soften hard architectural features, helping them blend with the landscape. This is particularly effective is used where vertical lines, of the building meet the ground atcomers and doorways. I A continuous planting will reduce the apparent height of a tall house. However, a low house, without an exposed foundation, will look larger and more impressive if the shrub planting is not continous, and ground covers are used in one or two places between the comer and the front door. use a limited numper ot species in the foundation planting. Some variation is form and texture is important, but avoid numerous different types, or mixtures of evergreen and deciduous shrubs. Select varieties which will be of suitable size when mature. Avoid placing large shrubs under windows. Unless they are frequently pruned they can grow too tall and block the window. The height of shrubs along the front of the house is important. Locate tall shrubs at the comers, and shorter ones on each side of the front door. This will have the effect of funneling attention on the entrance. Be prepared to renew or imporve your landscaping periodically. Most shrubs need to be replaced with younger, more desirable specimens' about every 15 to 20 years.

X ^ ^' l ' New Car Models Focus On Safety Auto Makers Respond To Buyers By JOHN T. TOLER Tim**-Democrat Staff Writer The upcoming year promises to be one of the best for new car dealers and their customers. 1995 will be marked by a great selection of new cars and trucks. Many new vehicles will have safety and technological features that we only dreamt about a few years ago. Car manufacturers have worked hard to find out what their customers want. There have been some shifts in customers’ desires, and manufacturers have responded. 1 he mini-van has replaced the full-sized wagon as the car of choice for young families, and the 4-wheel drive sport utility vehicle has left the ranch, finding its way into many suburban garages. There’s a lot to choose from, and catching new car fever is even easier than it used to be. Following is a rundown of the models that have undergone nuyor changes for 1995: CHRYSLER CORPORATION The Neon, a totally new compact, was introducted by Chrysler Corporation early this year as a 1995 model. The Neon is sold with either a Dodge or Plymouth nameplate. A totally new design was used for this car, based on Chrysler’s cabforward concept on a smaller scale. Economical and comfortable, the Neon 4-door sedan will be joined by a 2-door and a sport coupe later this year. The Neon is powered by a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder single overhead cam (SOC) engine that produces an impressive 132-horsepower. After its successful debut, it is likely that a convertible will be added to the Neon line in 1996. New mid-sizea models rrom Chrysler include the Dodge Stratus and the Chrysler Cirrus sedans, often referred to the “cloud cars.” Designed as comfortable family v cars, this new line offers a number of safety features as standard equipment, and sells for around $17,000. Both models are powered by a 164-hp, 2.5 litre SOC V-6 engine, and will hit the showroom floor in November. But don’t ask your dealer to order you a Chrysler LeBaron sedan next year. It will only come in the popular convertible model for ’95. Later this winter, a pair of new front-drive luxury coupes will be introduced. The Dodge Avenger and. Chrysler Sebring, which are based on the Mitsubishi Galant, will be available with either a 4- or 6-cylinder engine. Jeep and Eagle Division The Plymouth Laser has been “adopted” by Chrysler’s Jeep-Eagle See Wheels, Page 5 You can now get the Dodge Ram pickup with extended cab. Chrysler Cirrus offers many standard safety features. The *95 Neon 2-door cranes in standard and sport models. Hie Mercury Mystique is one of Ford’s “World Cars.”

I \: Ford Windstar mini-van has choice of two V-6 engines. ►Wheels From Page 3 Division, and starting this year, is being sold as the re-designed Eagle Talon. The Grand Cherokee, flagship of Jeep-Eagle, gets a new cam in its 5.2 litre V-8, as well as disc brakes on all four wheels and an optional flip-up window in the rear hatch. CHRYSLER TRUCKS AND VANS The Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan, the front-wheel drive mini-vans that started it all in ’84, have dropped the five-speed manual shift transmission this year. Chrysler will unveil two all-new mini-vans in January, 1995; they’ll go on sale in April. Watch for these models, which will offer a wider choice of power plants, all-wheel drive and other features. The full-size Ram Wagon van will get anti-lock brakes and a driver’s side BEAVERS AUTO SERVICE, INC.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY You’ve seen on television ads the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique, which were introduced last month. Don’t worry; they aren’t really six stories high, like the TV ads showed them. The pair are Ford’s new “World Cars,” designed to be sold and built overseas as well as in the U.S. The line is actually derived from the Belgian-built Mondeo 4-door sedan, a best-seller introduced by Ford in Europe last year. True international cars, the Contour and Mystique are built in plants in the U.S. and Mexico. They have the latest in high-tech engine and drivetrain control, and come in three trim levels. You have a choice of two engines: a 125-hp 2.0 litre 4-cylinder, or 170-hp 2.5 litre V-6 engine. v See Wheels, Page 6 SERVICES, INC AMOCO GAS / FOOD SHOP {AMOCO) Specializing in Foreign & Domestic Auto Repairs Brake • Exhaust • Front-End Alignment Engine Analysis • State Inspections r* WINTERIZATION ✓ Drain & Refill Coolant System ✓ Check Belts & Hoses ✓ Check Shocks & Exhaust ✓ Check Tires ✓ Check All Fluid Levels OIL CHANGE Includes: ✓ 5 Quarts of Oil ✓ Oil Filter ✓ Lube I 347-3992 Shop at Home...Shop Warrenton 338 Broadview Ave Warrenton 4

Chevy Blazer has new styling and improved suspension. il ►Wheels From PageS These cars will sell in the $13,000 range. The Aspire hatchback, a subcompact imported by Ford from Korea, was introduced last spring. It currently the lowest-priced car sold America with standard dual airbags. Ford has big news at the other end of the price spectrum as well. The front-wheel drive Lincoln Continental will get its first V-8, a new 4.6 litre. mF&mm .a .g Pontiac Sunfire GT coupe will be available in mid-1995. II A sporty version of the Mark VIII will bO introduced in mid-1995, offering stiffer suspension, performance exhaust and suspension systems. I FORD TRUCKS AND VANS In the light truck line, the Windstar mini-van, which debuted last spring, is shaping up to be a winner. Larger than the Chrysler mini-vans, the front-drive Windstar has a 147-hp 3.0 litre V-6 engine, and an optional 3.8 litre V-6. It can tow up to 3500 lbs. i r ord Motor will continue to build its orginial, rear-wheel drive mini van, the Aerostar, which will get side door beams this year for added passenger protection. The Ford Explorer sport utility vehicle (SUV), popular with families since its introduction in 1991, will get anew front-end treatment, standard dual airbags, and more comfortable ride. *95 Explorers will have improved front suspension; the heavy front swing axles have been replaced with a new control-arm design. The Eddie Bauer trim line will be extended to Ford F-Series standard and F-150/F-250 extended cab trucks.

I Joe’s Shop is Always Busy Many people around Warrenton remember Joe Grimsley from when he was growing up. • ' A natural-born mechanic, young Joe liked working on cars as much as he enjoyed driving them. Later, he gained valuable experience building high-performance engines and driving race cars. Fifteen years ago, he opened a business of his own, Joe’s Servicenter, Inc., located at 116 Sullivan St., on the hill above the * Warrenton Pizza Hut on the Old Bypass. Joe and his staff perform all phases of repair work on both foreign and domestic cars and trucks. They rebuild engines and transmissions at the shop, along with all other heavy and light repairs. Joe is happy to share his extensive experience (especially regarding GM products) with customers, and others needing advice or a second opinion about a problem or repair. He employs the latest diagnostic equipment available. The lot at Joe’s is always full of cars demanding his attention, but Joe, Mark Grimsley or Melissa Gregg will be happy to schedule an appointment. Call Joe’s Servicenter, Inc. at (703) 347-7796. Car Maintenance Is ‘Advanced’ V ■ One of the newer businesses in New Baltimore is Advanced Auto and Truck Service, Inc., located at 6628 Electric Avenue, just north of Mayhugh’s Store. Eric Kaase, owner of Advanced Auto, opened the business here about four years ago. The shop offers all types of auto and truck repair, including tune-ups, ( brake and exhaust work. The experts there can repair engines and transmissions, and offer front-end alignment and air conditioning and cooling system service. Virginia State Inspection, and also rental car service is available. Valvoline and Pennzoil products, and a wide range of brand-name auto parts are sold. “At Advanced Auto and Truck Service, the customer is number one,” said Mr. Kaase recently. “A small shop like ours can give each job the individual attention it requires.” This translates into free written estimates, free consultation and Saturday repair work by appointment. Mr. Kaase is assisted by mechanics James Williams and Mike Small, both of whom have worked at Advanced Auto for three years. For more information, call Advanced Auto and Truck Service, Inc., at (703) 349-3811 or (800) 2848605. Elite Car Care Offered In Town Auto body repair may be required for a variety of reasons: a collision, faded paint, rust or weather damage. But the bottom line is that the value of the vehicle — and a good part of the enjoyment of it — is tied to how it looks. Elite Auto Body, Inc., located at 131 Broadview Avenue near Jefferson National Bank, offers specialized body repair and refinishing services. In addition to collision repair, Elite Auto Body offers all-over painting and customizing services. According to owner David Garrison, “We offer the best quality repair possible, with friendly, personal service, all at reasonable, competitive prices.” Striving to provide customer satisfaction, Elite Auto Body technicians are “highly trained and ICar Certified,” according to Mr. Garrison. “We use only the best equipment and materials, and guarantee our repairs in writing.” With literally thousands of colors and shades of colors, matching paint is very difficult. At Elite Auto Body, a computerized paint mixing system is used, assuring a perfect match. Recently, a computer estimating system was installed, which figures costs quickly and accurately. All estimates are provided free of charge. “We accept all insurance claims, and are the regional Direct Appraisal Shop for USAA Insurance,” said Mr. Garrison. For information, call Elite Auto Body, Inc., at (703) 347-0007, or FAX at 349-1431.

Some remember the days when it operated out of the old Tom Frost dealership, near the comer of the Bypass and Waterloo Street. Growing steadily each year, Rick Hunt Ford soon outgrew the old Bypass location. In 1985, Rick Hunt t. moved his business to an all-new 1 facility at 643 Lee Highway, north of Warrenton. In the meantime, Rick Hunt added a Dodge franchise, in order to give his customers a greater selection t of cars, trucks and vans to choose from. It’s been a good move. While already the largest dealer in the county, with the largest Rick Hunt sales representative Larry Labarge shows a ’95 Ford Contour. inventory of new and used vehicles on his lot, Rick Hunt is anticipating continued growth, and the possible addition of new product lines. As a full-service facility, Rick Hunt offers a complete mechanical Repair shop, parts department and a body shop with two paint booths. , Customer satisfaction is paramount at Rick Hunt.( In the showroom are some of the new cars, as well as a number of very interesting, one-of-a-kind antique vehicles that are part of Rick Hunt’s collection. This man really loves cars! For more information about what’s available, call Rick Hunt Ford-Lincoln-M ercury and Dodge at (703) 347-1234 or (800) 868-4660.

Jacoby Offers Clinics For Automobile Buyers In the old part of town, they put up a plaque on a building if the owner — by improving the appearance of the property — adds to the value of the surroundings. If the same were true about commercial sites on the Bypass, Joe Jacoby Chrysler-Plymouth-JeepEagle, located at 510 Frost Avenue, Warrenton, would surely get a plaque, too. t This comer lot — which has served as a Mercury dealership, Pontiac dealership, and a shop for a highway striping company, was in terrible shape when Redskin Football legend Joe Jacoby acquired it more than a year ago. It is now a full-service dealership, with new and used cars and trucks for sale, and a full service and parts department. But having a nice dealership is only the beginning. Joe Jacoby came into the business just as the Chrysler Corporation was introducing new product lines — especially Jeeps and Chryslers —that were to prove immensely popular both nationally and on the local scene. In the near future, Joe Jacoby will offer monthly consumer clinics, to provide their customers (and potential customers) with information about different phases of automobile ownership. mi The *95 Chrysler and Jeep-Eagle lineup is bringing a lot of excitment to Joe Jacoby’s dealership in Warrenton.

Stay Calm, Take Notes According to statistics from the National Safety Council, one driver in eight will be involved in a motor vehicle accident this year. Unfortunately, accidents are a fact of life when venturing out on the highway. But whether a minor “fender bender” or major catrastrophe, we all need to know what to do if we are involved in an accident. Because a traffic accident is by definition an upsetting occurance, it is helpful for driovers to prepare themselves by keeping in mind the following suggestions, which will help relieve some of the stress: • Move your vehicle well off the road, if it is safe to operate and will not complicate the accident investigation. Make sure that children and other passengers are kept away from the road, broken glass, and other hazards if they can’t stay in the car. • Find out if anyone involved in the accident needs medical attention or evacuation. Call the police or emergency medical services. • Provide warning signs - flashers, .flares, reflectors, ete»tfl mark the area and alert other motorists of the problem. • Exchange information with the other drivers involved. Include names of all drivers and passengers, addresses, license numbers, insurance companies, and other pertinent information. If there are witnesses, get their names and addresses, too. • Make a rough sketch of the accident scene, indicating the direction of travel of each vehicle, where they were struck, and any physical barriers, etc., that may have been involved. Also note the position in the cars of all occupants. Record all times related to the accident. • Report the accident to the police. If total damage is $1000 or more, or if there is any personal injmy, Virginia law requiers that a police report be made and filed. Your insurance agent will probably need a copy of the police report, anyway. • Find out where your damaged vehicle will be taken and stored. Reemove personal property from the car and take it with you. Determine what towing or storage costs may be incurred, and and notify your ... insurance agent. ”*•• •

►Wheels From Page 8 For the new Blazer and Jimmy, engineers were challenged to come up with a vehicle that was “tuned to ride and drive like a premium automobile while retaining all of its desirable truck qualities.” Much work went into the design of the suspension, which employs stabilizers, jounce bumpers, and variable ration power steering. The Oldsmobile Bravada, a close cousin of the Blazer/Jimmy family,will be offered as a 1994 model through December; there will be no 1995 model. The 1996 Bravada, similar to the ’95 Blazer/Jimmy, will be sold in the fall of’95. The full-size Blazer will be known henceforth as the Tahoe, and the Jimmy will has been re-named the ' Yukon. These big SUVs will come only in the familiar three-door model initially; a five door will come out later this year. 1 he new five-door does not replace the enormous Suburban wagon, which gets a new instrument panel and driver’s side air-bag in 1995. In the mini-SUV category, the Geo Tracker will be offered in the five-door model later in 1995. Two more interesting colors will be offered: Scuba Blue and Dark Grape. The Chevrolet Astro van and its sister, the GMC Safari, have been lengthened a couple of inches and restyled; the new body offers about 19 more cubic feet of carrying space than last year. These vans now can be orderred with airbags, anti-lock brakes, and allwheel drive. Prices start around $18,300. IMPORTED CARS AND TRUCKS Perhaps the biggest news is the Toyota Avalon and the Honda Odyssey. The Avalon is the first full-size, Asian-brand car to be built in a U.S. plant. It will seat six people and sell for around $27,000. The Avalon will be built at the Camry plant in Georgetown, Ky. The Odyssey is Honda’s first mini-van. It will offer many new features, including four side doors (hinged to swing out), plus a tailgate. The Odyssey is powered by the 2.2- 3 litre engine used in the Accord, and ^ will sell for $20,000. By the way, the popular Accord will get a new V-6 engine in 1995. The new Lexus LS 400 luxury 4-door sedan will be on the market soon. Lighter and more powerful (260hp) than last year, the LS 400 will sell for around $55,000. Introduced earlier this year, the new Mazda Millenia luxury sedan may provide a look into the future. The Millenia has many innovations, the most significant of which is its Miller-cycle engine, which delivers 210-hp and gets nearly 30 miles per gallon. Remember when Mazda '■ pioneered the Wankel rotary piston engine in its RX-7? The Mazda Protege is all-new, with more interior room, airbags, and a “special main frame that helps pass the impact of a frontal collision around the passenger compartment, instead of through it.” Prices for this attractive and selfless car start at $12,000.

6One-Price’ Policy In Place At Country Chevy The folks at Country Chevrolet, Inc., located at 11 E. Lee Highway, Warrenton, are looking forward to an exciting new car season this year, i Now in its 18th year in business, Country Chevrolet has always been at the forefront of change in the automobile retail industry. \i Over a year ago, company President C. H. “Buddy” Lawrence v instituted the “one price” sales philosophy for new and used cars and trucks. He understood that the vast majority of the car-buying public did not like to haggle over price when buying a car; but they wanted to be sure they were getting the best value for their money. “One-price” selling eliminates the need for all that worry. Original and current marked-down prices are clearly listed on each new and used vehicle, along with any rebates, or other allowed discounts. It is the lowest price for which the dealer can sell the vehicle, so the customer is assured of a good deal. The full line of *95 Chevrolet pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles await customers at Country Chevrolet. \ \ Country Chevrolet also offers excellent service after the sale, with a complete mechanical shop, huge parts department and a body shop right on the premises. In addition to new and used cars, Country Chevy offers leases and rental vehicles. Part of the excitement at Country Chevrolet is the new lineup of 1995 cars and trucks, including the all-new Blazer, Lumina Monte Carlo, Geo Metro and Cavalier. For information about these cars or “one price” selling at Country Chevrolet, Inc., call Buddy Lawrence or Rick Collette, Sales Manager, at (703)347-9000.

Winter Driving Safety With winter approaching, motorists need to take special care to avoid ending up broken down beside the road, or suffering engine damage due to temperature extremes. Winter driving conditions can be very demanding. Keep these suggestions in mind when venturing out this winter: • Vision: clear snow and ice from windows, mirrors, hood, roof headlights, and trunk. Clean the headlights of road grime daily. You’d be surprised how much difference that will make! • Speed: normal posted speed limits are for ideal driving conditions. Slow down when when visibility or road surface conditions begin to deteriorate. When starting off, accelerate carefully so that your wheels don’t spin. Avoid sudden starts and stops. • Braking: don’t brake hard. If you have anti-lock brakes, this will help; otherwise, use firm pressure on the brake pedal to a point just short of lock-up, then ease off the pedal . slightly. • Plan ahead: remember that bridges ice up before roadways, and that stalled or stuck vehicles may block the road or shoulders in front of you.. Keep a good interval between you and the car in front of you, and be prepared to change lanes if you see a hazard approaching. • Skidding: if you feel yourself slipping into a skid, ease off the accelerator and try to keep from locking up your brakes. Steer into the skid to regain control, and then aim the car in the direction you want to go. Get the wheels straight, and proceed carefully. • Things to bring with you when driving in the winter: bag of sand or cat litter for traction; small snow shovel; ice scraper; jumper cables; blanket; aerosol flat fixer; flashlight and fresh batteries; windshield washer fluid; gloves and hat; first aid kit. Also handy to have: portable air pump; block of wood (to put under the jack); flares or reflectors; paper towels or rags; waterproof matches; and of course, a spare ice scraper!

Customers # 1 at Battlefield When Steve Fay took over as general manager and vice president of Battlefield Ford in 1992 he had one goal in mind — total customer satisfaction. Two years later, the 30-year-oldManassas dealership has gone from No. 22 in customer satisfaction (out of a group of 26 dealerships) to winning the 1993 Chairman’s Award. Fay attributes this success to a number of factors. He met with employees to emphasize Battlefield’s commitment to customer satisfaction and spelled out just what was expected of each staff member. Some personnel changes were made, and the service department staff was augmented with a shop foreman and four more service technicians. Most of all, the improvements •lame from listening to their customers. All recent car buyers are asked to complete a survey, and each response is reviewed in daily staff meetings. All constructive replies are used to improve service, one customer at a time. The sales staff at Battlefield Ford goes the extra mile to keep their customers happy. Fay explains, “When our people tell customers we’re going to do whatever we can do to satisfy them, the customers know it will be done.” Fay’s personal commitment to this goal has been the guiding force for his staff. Sales are up. Customers are happy and best of all, they keep coming back. Find out what Battlefield Ford can do for you. Call (703) 368-3184. Th* ijiMantus*** tp.*er*e you..
