Study Charts Growth In Highway Traffic More Lanes May Be Needed I By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Six lanes on U.S. 211? Four lanes on U.S. 522? This is what a transportation study of present and future traffic problems prepared by C. Richard Keller of Kellerco for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission seems to suggest is in Rappahannock’s futurp. Members of the Board of Supervisors received copies of the study at last Monday’s meeting. Members of the Planning Commission also will get copies, and then once these bodies! have had a chance to review the docu- 1 ment, Mr. Keller has offered to meet with the two bodies in a joint public meeting and present alternatives for their consideration. Labeled Technical Memo #la, the document includes maps showing current traffic patterns, traffic volume counts both current and projected and areas identified for further study. At the joint public meeting, Mr. Keller is offering to present Technical Memo #2a with “alternative long range highway system concepts.” The plan maps include the route of a Sparry ville bypass prepared by VDOT but not recommended by the Board of Supervisors. It would cut Route 1002 in Sperryville at the bridge leaving two dead-end sections. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete" Estes consulted his constituents when this route was first proposed and reported they were evenly divided on whether they favored or opposed this bypass plan. The study notes that this plan is “one al- n ternative.” Traffic volume counts provided with the study indicate that U.S. 211 just east of the. Gid Brown Hollow Road is the most heavily traveled section of county road with a 1992 traffic count of 5,700, and the section of this road that bypasses Washington is the second most heavily traveled with 5,500. The projection for. traffic in 2010 shows traffic at Gid Brown Hollow at 10*460 and the Washington bypass at 13,070. Further east on U.S. 211, just past Ben Venue, traffic was measured in 1992 at 3,500 and is projected to increase to 9,060. Interestingly, the traffic was also measured in 198687, and at that time it was 4,840 on that section, indicating a lower count in 1992.

Teachers Seek Improvements for Next Year RCES Prepared for Move into Addition By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Education Association presented a list of requests to the School Board Tuesday night that included increased space at the high school, a school nurse split between the two schools, and raises. High school math teacher Janet Long said with the addition complete for the elementary school, more space is needed at the high school so more courses can be taught. She said RCEA had polled members and non-members on the faculties of both schools in developing the list. She requested a 5 percent salary increase in the next budget, saying that Rappahannock is approximately 5 percent below the state average. The teach- ' ers also requested additional funds for field trips and for teachers attending professional conferences. Mrs. Long said that funds now available for that cover only about 25 percent of the cost. Teachers also requested a light in the back parking lot at the high school, a district computer coordinator and more money for computer repair. At the high school they also requested report cards every nine weeks, rather than six weeks, and additional class offerings in the fine arts. School Superintendent David Gangel said, “I would agree these are reasonable requests.” However he said the county cannot expect much increase in funding from the state, which means that funds for the requests would have to come from local taxes. The 3 percent raises given to school employees last year cost $116,000, he said. If current projections hold up the county could expect to get an additional $112,000 from the state. He added that there were rumors state aid for education might be cut in order to fund other priorities of Gov. George Allen, such as prisons. He noted it may be difficult to get much more from the county government because this is an election year for the members of the Board of Supervisors. “I haven’t seen any supervisors run on a platform of substantial tax increases,” he said. Elementary school principal David Smith presented the board with a new plan for assigning classrooms throughout the school and plan for moving into the addition. He said the moves had been divided into highest priority and lower priority. Highest priority moves will be completed this Friday, The secondary priority moves may be completed later. He said that faculty has been assigned for each move and equipment will be rented. One room in the addition will be held in reserve. Another in the main section of the school is also being held in reserve with the assumption it may soon be needed for another pre-school handicapped class since that class is at capacity. Besides moving children in kindergarten, first and second grades into the addition, the priority moves also include moving classes out of rooms that have been divided so the dividers can be taken out. The board heard a report on the foreign language instruction from French teacher Cindy Wayland and Spanish teacher Liz Blubaugh. They described very active programs. Mrs. Wayland asked the board to consider adding German and said she is certified to teach it. Mrs. Blubaugh said she teaches nearly one third of the students in the school. She said she would like to add Spanish 4 next year. Dr. Gangel presented the board with a report on staffing and the growth of special education programs. He said one student who had been attending a special program in Fauquier County is now in Rappahannock County, but another new student was placed in a special regional program for severely emotionally disturbed children in Orange, and the school system has to supply a teacher’s aide to transport that child. ExpandSee Schools, Page A-6 Commission Calls for Changes in Education By JESSICA FALK Rappahannock News Staff Writer After receiving input during seven public hearings and visits to 30 schools, the Governor’s Commission on Champion Schools released several preliminary recommendations in its interim report. These recommendations focus on two broad topics—improving academic quality and returning educational control to parents. Most of the information in the rreport concerns topics for discussion during the 1995 session of the General Assembly. The 53 members of the bipartisan commission, including the chairman, Beverly Sgro, State Secretary of Education and vicechairman William Bosher, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, were appointed by Gov. George Allen last spring to study Virginia’s current education system and then design a plan for comprehensive educational reform. “We looked at this with the feeling that our education system...is not nearly as good as it was, should and must be,” said Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st District, a member of the commission. “We must change to meet changing needs as time passes,” he continued. As far as academic standards are concerned, the commission followed Gov. Allen’s charge that specific and challenging standards that can somehow be measured be put into place. The interim report includes revised Standards of Learning for math and science. Similar reforms for language arts and social studies are forthcoming. The commission then recommended that these new Standards of Learning be made requirements rather than just guidelines, as they are now. Another key issue in the area of academic improvement is accountability. The commission recommended that the state develop and enact a four-part system to hold schools accountable. • Set improved academic standards. • Create a new way of assessing each school’s program in achieving these standards. • Develop a type of “report card” for individual schools to show their progress and • School accreditation will be granted only if the school is meeting these standards. Schools receiving accreditation will have more flexibility in obtaining and using state funding, whereas loss of accreditation will mean that strings will be attached to state funding. The commission’s interim report includes a few recommendations that Del. Katzen feels could raise questions and perhaps concerns. For example, one recommendation in the report is to allow the creation of charter schools. Charter schools are public schools that agree to a results-based contract called a charter, in return for operating under a semiautonomous status. Because charter schools would be public, they would be non-sectarian, tuition-free, and would have to meet all of the federal laws pertaining to public schools. They would receive the same percentage of state and local per pupil funding as would traditional public schools. What is different about a charter school is that, as long as it yields the results specified in its charter, it can waive all state and local regulations except those dealing with health, safety, civil rights, and state Standards of Quality and Standards of Learning. For example teachers would not have to be certified. Any individual or group would be able to , See Report, Page A-6 Dancing Bear? i-n Photo courtesy of Jdlo Inigos Not really. “Jello” Lagos of Scrabble shot the bear on the first day of the season. • i

Unusual Thefts Occur Sheriff John Henry Woodward reported a number of unusual crimes in the past week. Two “coffeewood” trees were stolen, one from a farm near Castleton and the 'other from a farm near Huntly. On Sunday afternoon two cases of wine were taken from a car trunk shortly after the owner had bought them at Grey Ghost Vineyard. * Three Christmas trees were cut and taken from Spring Hill Tree Farm in Gid Brown Hollow, Sheriff Woodward reported, but the thieves only got away with two because one tree fell off the truck. Stereo equipment was stolen from a house near Sperryville but recovered when it was spotted under the bridge near the Sperryville Rescue Squad building. Sheriff Woodward also reported that Fred Singleton Sr. of Manassas had been released from the Fauquier Hospital. The Sheriff’s Department, Game Department and Castleton and Amissville rescue squads were called in to perform a rescue earlier this month when Mr. Singleton fell out of a tree while trying to attach a tree stand for hunting on the Wood farm in Harris Hollow. The sheriff reported Mr. Singleton had a broken nose and hip from the 20-foot fall and had to be carried out. „ s£i*> ^ •■5 : 'i : * :-i : ^ 1 MILE WEST OF SPERRYVILLE ON RT. 211 SAT.

The $47,400 payroll category needs to be adjusted to reflect the full cost of a second full-time employee with benefits, but offsetting that is the fact the budget showed the entire amount for the plant operator Donna Chabot, when, in fact, the school system picks up part of her salary because she also manages the sewage treatment plants at the schools. The members agreed to increase the amount for vehicle expense because the pumper truck is expected to make weekly trips to the Remington treatment plant with septage from tanks on the system. Member Charles K. “Pete” Estes, who worked with Mr. Leggett and Ms. Chabot preparing the budget, said that the average flow7 had been reduced at the plant from a typical 23,000 gallons per day to 13,000 as a result of Troy Jenkins’s work to reduce ground water entering the system. He said the result is that the inflow is much more acidic, requiring the use of more lime, but the lower flow means much less chlorination and dechlorination is needed. He said that will save several thousand dollars in chemical costs. The members agreed to try to adopt the final budget next month so they will have six months under the current budget before having to adopt one for next year. Authority members have discussed the issue of reserved sewer rights before. They are concerned that income is limited while future capacity is tied up waiting for future building. Some members believe the WSA should charge something for reserved rights. In the past custom ers have only paid once they were hooked to the system. There has also been disagreement about whether once sewer rights are reserved they are permanent or whether the property owner has to request an extension every six months. In September member Richard Smith brought a resolution recommending charging half of the normal $21.50 per month per Equivalent to Dwelling Unit (EDU) for reserved EDUs. That resolution was tabled. When the resolution came up again at the October meeting, it was tabled again, and again at the November meeting. ;( One reason for the continued tabling of the resolution was that member Carson Johnson said minutes and resolutions adopted at previous meetings in years past would show policies already adopted by the authority to deal with the issue. Mr. Johnson said he had an almost complete set of copies of these minutes and resolutions, but they were in his office over the bank. The minutes are missing from the Clerk’s Office from September 1987 through August 1993, when Mr. Smith took over as secretary. In November the members asked Mr. Johnson to make his copies available so they could get copies. Mr. Johnson brought a stack of papers to last Thursday’s meeting, which he said did not include all that he had in his office and were out of order. He said he could not leave them for other members because in the past papers he had brought had not been returned. After much discussion Mr. Johnson agreed to bring copies of any missing minutes he can find to the School Board Office for Mr. Smith to copy while Mr. Johnson watches. Mr. Johnson said the WSA could amend its ordinance to charge for reserved EDUs but would have to advertise and hold a public hearing to do so. In the meantime the resolution to charge for reserved EDUs was tabled again, and members noted they had received several requests from property owners to continue reserving EDUs for them.

Basically every intersection on U.S. 211, U.S. 522 and Route 231 was labeled a “key at-grade intersection.” Does that mean they all are considered safety hazards? Traffic projections for 10,000 vehicle trips on U.S. 211 between Washington and Sperryville leads to a question of creating a six-lane section. Interestingly this traffic volume is estimated to be greater than traffic closer to Warrenton. This is perhaps based on the fact that the section from Massies Corner to Sperry ville is also carrying through U.S. 522 traffic. The notation that two lanes on U.S. 522 north of Flint Hill “may not be sufficient” leads to the suspicion someone believes this road should be widened to four lanes. Another issue noted by the report on the same section of road points to “increasing through truck traffic on a two-lane corridor.” What do the producers of the report believe will happen if the road is four-laned? , Life in the heart of Flint Hill would no doubt be improved by a by-pass, but current residential development on the outskirts would require such a by-pass to sweep through quite a lot of farmland. The proposed Sperryville by-pass has obviously not been dropped from VDOT plans. The supervisors need to make noises now if they want that organization to come up with a plan that does not cut off through traffic on Route 1002. The report also notes that the recently adopted general commercial district area plan applies only to a section near Washington, neglecting to include the rest of the roadway between Washington and Sperryville, but the supervisors are particularly trying to avoid having the entire length of fourlane there become a strip commercial zone Probably the most intriguing projection included in the report is the one which states that traffic on Route 231, which increased from 1,480 vehicle trips per day in 1986-76 to 2,500 in 1992, will drop to 1,870 in 2010. Projections of 2,120 trips per day on Route 640 near Viewtown are truly alarming. Concerned citizens should plan to be there when alternatives are discussed at a joint public meeting of the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission sometime after the start of the new year.

EDITH POND Sperrvyille Help Bosnian Family To the Editor: We are writing on behalf of the Hadziomerovic family of Sarajevo, Bosnia, who just arrived in the Warrenton area last week. Mr. Hadziomerovic has only recently been reunited with his family after living the last twro years in Sarajevo. His wife and two children spent those years in a refugee camp in the Czech-Republic. He spent this past summer in Warrenton with is sister whom he lost to cancer in July. The family is here with the hope of a new start and will be seeking political asylum in the U.S. They are well-educated, creative and eager to find work to support this new phase of their lives. The situation in their Bosnian homeland is critical and offers them no secure future at this time. Their niece and nephew are living with a family in Warrenton. These two young people are the main reason they have chosen to come to Virginia. We fell that the chance they have taken as a family to come to the United States can bear fruit. The beginning of such an endeavor is exciting and full of hope and hard work. They will be looking for an apartment or house within their means. Although something furnished could be found, we would like to suggest that donations would greatly relieve the burden of starting a new household. These could range from a set of sheets or blankets to a couch, bed or kitchen utenils. If you are moved to help this family in any way please contact us at 987-8596. Thank you. BARBARA and ROB SHERWOOD Washington \ Oppose Drunk Driving To the Editor: Last year 17,461 people were killed and almost half a million were injuried in impaired driving crashes. Many were innocent victims of persons driving while intoxicated. As a symbolic show of support on Dec. 16, law enforcement, businesses, government gencies and private citizens nationwide will keep their vehicle headlights on as they drive during the day to remember persons killed and injured in alcoholrelated crashes and as a reminder of law enforcement’s watchful eye on impaired drivers. “Lights on for Life” is the showcase event for National Drunk and Drugged Driving (3D) Prevention Month, held in December, and “national Holiday Lifesafer Weekend” (Dec. 16-18). Farm Agency Consolidation To Save Feds $3.6 Billion The announcement of USD A O Consolidated Farm Service Agency streamlining by Secretray of Agriculture Mike Espy will have significant impact in the State of Virginia. According to Donald A. Davis, Acting State Executive Director, the Consolidated Farm Service Agency will combine 33 offices in the State of Virginia. The Consolidated Farm Service Agency (formerly known as ASCS) currently maintains 85 county offices in the State. As a result of the USD A reorganization legislation 52 USD A Service Centers will be established throughout Virginia. Mr. Davis indicated that these centers would be composed of two or three USD A agencies in each location. These agencies are the Consolidated Farm Service Agency (formerly ASCS), Rural Economic Community Development Service (formerly FmHA), and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly SCS). the Consolidated Farm Service Agency also assumes the responsibility for the administration on the catastrophic coverage level of the Federal Crop Insurance Program. Farmers will now be able to pur chase the basic insurance at all CFSA locations in the State. There is no premium for this insurance but a nominal processing fee will be charged. This service will be offered startingJan. 17, 1995. The consolidation of offices will take place over a period of three years and will require the acquisition of new or additional office space in some locations. Mr. Davis said that he did not anticipate any immediate office relocations since detailed planning will be required. The reorganization of USD A is projected to save the Federal Government $3.6 billion over a five-year period. Services to farmers in all new locations will be more efficient since employees in the resulting larger offices can now specialize in the specific assigned areas. Where CFSA Program Assistants were responsible for all programs in small offices, they may now be assigned only one or two programs. Although travel distances for some producers may be further to the Farm Service Centers, Mr. Davis feels that farmers will be pleased to receive one stop servicing from all three agencies. For those who drink and drive, Virginia’s law enforcement community will be out in force and on the lookout. The best gift you can give your family this year is a DUI-free holiday. Don’t drink and drive. Designate a driver. And by all means, protect yourself and your family by using seatbelts. If you do get involved in a collisition with a drunk driver, buckling up could save your life. i BRENDA J.

ROY Amissville Office Closing Will Affect More Than County Farmers The Rappahannock County FSA (formerly ASCS) office is slated to be combine with the Culpeper office. The time frame is presently unknown, however it is scheduled to occur within the next three years. The major disadvantage of the office closing would be the inconvenience and additional travel time necessary to conduct agrictural business in Culpeper as compared to the local office in Washington. However most county producers seem resigned to the eventual office consolidation. Program participation could possibly decrease contrary to the “one stop shopping” concept. A USD A presence in each county would provide producers easier access to FSA/conservation programs and maintain current levels of participation. Another disadvantage is to the local soil and water conservation district which depends on the local FSA offices to enroll producers in' their Chesapeake Bay Program. The Commisioner of Revenue along with county residents who wish to participate in land use taxation rely on the FSA office for supporting documents. Several client groups will b£ affected by the closing. The elected ASC committeemen will serve as acting FSA committeemen through 1995 The time machine From the Rappahannock News bock when: :: j 30 YEARS AGO Dec. 17,1964 Rappahannock Manufacturing Company near Flint Hill began production Monday, Dec. 14 after a brief close down lasting only a few weeks.

Unemployment Rate Jumps County unemployment increased sharply in October reaching 4.9 percent, up from 2.5 percent in September. According to statistics recently released by the Virginia Employment Commission there were 4,518 people in the county employed in October compared to 4,643 in September and 234 unemployed compared to 120 in September. The VEC reported it is not able to determine how much of this increase in unemployment is due to the closing of the Aileen plant in Flint Hill since they do not keep statistics according to the former employer. They reported that October i is normally one of the higher employment months in Rappahannock County because of the apple harvest and the number of people employer! in the tourist business. In October 1993 the unemployment rate was 2.2 percent. However, all the counties except Madison in PD9 reported higher unemployment in October 1994 than 1993. The county unemployment rate in October was higher than the state’s rate of 4.5 percent but below the national rate of 5.8 percent. J.V.s Win, Varsities Struggle By CINDY MAHAN and SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer* The RCHS junior varsity basketball team has opened their season with a winning streak. They beat Luray 63-38 on Dec. 6 and Central 52-50 last Friday. Of the game against Luray, Coach Luther Stanley said, “They practiced hard all week and it showed in the final score. Everyone got a chance to play, and I was pleased with each and every one of the kids.” In the game against Central, Coach Stanley said his team started out flat in the first quarter but came out ready to play ball in the second quarter. , The team trailed for most of the game, but came out on top at the buzzer in a very exciting finish. Top scorers were Chris McLear with 16, Eric Smith with 14 points and 10 rebounds, and 12 points for Jeff Atkins. The RCHS varsity basketball team has not been as successful in their first two games. They fell to Luray 69-56 on Dec. 6 and to Central 81-62 last Friday. Coach Eugene Baltimore said, “We need to win a game. We need to start getting our confidence up.” Of the Luray game, he said, “We didn’t play well. We came out flat and missed too many easy shots. In the second half we outscored them.” He said that Ryan Armistead did a very good job on defense. In the Central game, Coach Baltimore said that his team played great in the first quarter. “It was mental errors that hurt us. We did not execute on some of our plays and that is what killed us,” he said. Andre Fletcher led the scoring with 25 points. Derek Daczewitz played an excellent game and had eight points. “It takes time with a new coach and a new system. In time we will be a very good basketball team,” said Coach Baltimore. 'i THIS AD !

Winter Precautions Can Save Lives It started with subzero temperatures and threatened fuel problems in January and before it was over, the winter of 1993-94 had dealt a crippling blow to Virginia with disastrous ice storms/in February and March. Thousands of trees toppled on highways and power lines, bringing transportation to a standstill and leaving thousands of Virginians stranded at home without power or heat for up to a week in some areas. If current long range perdictions, become a reality, the upcoming winter could be just as treacherous. The National Weather Service is calling for below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation this winter. i So if we’re faced with more frigid temperatures, icy and snowy weather, what can we do? Take time now to understand winter hazards and to learn how to prepare for these dangers. Winter Preparedness at Home Heavy snowfalls and icy conditions can isolate you in your home, for several days. Your primary concerns are the potential loss of heat, power, phone and shortage of supplies if the storm conditions continue for more than a day. Here are some tips to help out at home during severe winter weather. • Stock an emergency supply of water and food. Include foods that require no cooking unless you haVe a camp stove or other portable cooking unit. • Do not cook on a charcoal grill inside your home. Even inside a fireplace, the deadly carbon monoxide I fumes many drift into your home. These fumes can and do kill. • Keep an adequate supply of fuel in your home. • If you lose your primary heating source, a wood-burning stove, fireplace or space heater would keep at least one room warm. • To keep water pipes from freezing, wrap them in pipe insulation or newspapers coverd with plastic to keep out moisture. Let each faucent drip a little to avoid freezing. • Make sure you have a flashlight, a battery-powered radio, extra bat TLs the Season To Be A Winner!

Winter Preparedness on the Road Winter storms can make highway travel treacherous. If severe winter weather occurs, your best bet is to stay home. If you must venture out, these tips may make your journey safer. • Be sure your car is in good running order. Have a mechanic check your battery, antifreeze, wipers, ignitition and theremostat. Good tires are very important! • Let someone know where you are going and when you plan to arrive. Try not to travel alone. Before you statt out, clean snow and ice off all parts of your car. • Keep your gas tank as full as possible. • Keep basic items in your car like a windshield scraper, battery booster cables, town chain or rope, bag of sand, blanket, flashlight, first aid kit, road map and some non-perishable food. • If you get caught on the road during a winter storm, stay in the car. Don’t seek shelter or a telephone unless you can see one close by. • For heat, turn on the car engine for brief periods. Avoid deadly carbon monoxide poisoning, by leaving a downwide window open slightly and clearing the exhaust pipe of snow.

Peebles , Where Quality and Value are Always in Style 650 WARRENTON CENTER, WARRENTON, VIRGINIA • MON.-SAT. 9-9:30; SUNDAY 11-6 • 703-347-1820 ►Report / From Page A-l apply to form a charter school and the school division would be required to provide space for approved charter schools on a priority basis. Charters would have to be renewed occasionally—the report recommends no more frequently than every five years—and charters may be revoked at any time if the conditions specified in the charter are not being met. Del. Katzen, a strong Supporter of charter schools, said that although opponents of charter schools feel that supporting the formation of these schools would be an abandonment of public education, by promoting competition for the existing public school system, “It’s faithful to our wish to improve public schools.” Another potentially volatile issue raised in the commission’s report is that of Family Life Education. The interim report recommends that Family Life Education, which includes topics such as sex education, prevention of drug and alcohol abuse, and basic social skills, become an opt-in program rather than an opt-out one. The commission’s report says that a comprehensive, mandated family life education program in kindergarten through grade 12, “contradicts the principle of local control of education by prohibiting parents and citizens in each school dijvision from deciding whether they want this type of family life education program in their schools. ” The recommendation would allow each school division to decide whether or not to offer family life education. Additionally all students who wish to take family life education courses would have to first turn in a permission slip signed by their parents. The commission will continue to study all the areas of reform and to develop more specific recommendations and legislation based on the interim report. A final report is expected nextsummer. ►Schools From Page A-l ing needs in special education account for much of the unbudgeted expenses the school system has encountered this school year, he reported. Before their regular meeting board members conducted interviews with candidates to replace Robert Chappell as assistant superintendent and for Margarita Piper’s position as pupil personnel director. Mrs. Piper will be retiring at the end of June. The board agreed to pay for several items for the addition out of a contingency fund set up from bond monies. Dr. Gangel recommended they add a sidewalk and sod to prevent erosion and children splashing through mud, a barrier around disconnect boxes, and telephones and an intercom for each classroom. The wiring for this was included in the construction. Board Chairman Beverly Massie said he should also purchase a generator to operate in the case of a power failure to keep circulator pumps going in the heating and air conditioning system going. ►Roads From Page A-l 1986-87 and 1992 counts are available showed an increase. With traffic projected to increase to 10,000 trips per day, the study suggests it may be necessary to widen U.S. 211 between Washington and Sperryville from four to six lanes. U.S. 211 is identified in the study as a major arterial. U.S. 522 from Massie’s Corner through Chester Gap and from Sperryville to Culpeper is labeled a minor arterial. The most northern section of this road is expected to show the greatest increase. Just south of Huntly, traffic was measured at 3,900 vehicles per day in 1992 with a projection that this will increase to 7,030 by 2010. South of Flint Hill traffic was measured at 3,100 in 1992 and this is projected to increase to 3,930 in 2010. The study suggests improving the section north of Flint Hill as a two-lane road may not meet future traffic needs. The section of U.S. 522 just south of Sperryville was measured at 3,010 in 1992 and at 4,000 at another point north of Woodville. Another section of the road south of Scrabble and just north of Round Hill was not measured in 1992, but showed 2,720 vehicle trips a day in 1986-87. All three sections are projected to increase to 5,640 in 2010.

'Kings Play' Set for Weekend By SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Contributing Writer Last year’s cast and crew have returned to Washington to produce the “Three Kings’ Play” this coming weekend. Performances are set for 5 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 17 and 18) at Ki Theatre at the comer of Gay and Jett streets. The play dramatizes Chapter 2 of Matthew’s Gospel", which relates the story of wise men who follow a star to Bethlehem in Judah, ruled by King Herod from Jerusalem. Peter Hombostel of Nethers reprises his role as the fearful King Herod, oh so carefully led astray by Joyce Abell’s sly and cunning Devil. Howard Coon not only has picked up the part of King Caspar again, but also has directed this year’s production. Joining Mr. Coon in quest tor the new king are Norm Getsinger as Melchoir and Jim McCullough as Balthazzar. As Matthew relates they find the newborn king in Bethlehem and are warned to go home without seeing Herod by an Angel, played by Jean Falk-Morgan. The rich musical score is directed again this year by Beth Levick, who leads a talented group of musicians and an enthusiastic cast through the ancient songs that accompany this 15th century German play. Tickets ($5 for adults and $2.50 for children) are available at Mountainside Market and the Country Cafe in Washington, at the New Leaf Bookstore in Warrenton, at the Royal Oak4 Bookstore in Front Royal, and at Culpeper Music on Main Street in Culpeper. Tickets also may be reserved by calling Ki Theatre at 675-1615 and leaving information on the tape, or by calling Ellen Manson at'675-1349. Tickets may be available at the door for both performances, but in previous years the Kings Play has played to standing roorfi only crowds. The play, which runs about one hour, is suitable for all but the youngest children, who might be upset by Herod’s insistance on killing all the small children “of two year old or under.” Herod and his cronies get their just rewards at play’s end, of course, for the Devil is never to be denied his due.

One sleepy peek out the window solves the mystery. The first snow of the season is brushing the earth with its palate of virgin white velvet. Awakening'from that last short snooze before arising, another sound is clearly evident...children*s squeals of glee. The snow has brought with it an unexpected holiday. Sleds in all stages of sophistication skim that hill as cheeks and noses glow like Rudolph's. Windows frame that joyous scene each winter. The hill is the same. The sounds are the same.

Piedmont United Way Almost Reaches Goal The Piedmont United Way has now reached 86.6 percent of $199,027.55 of its goal for 1994! This means that we only have 13.5 percent more to go to reach our 1994 campaign goal of $230,000. “While employee and corporate giving is up at a number of businesses there are still a few businesses that have not reported their totals,” stated Betty Roberts, Executive Director at Piedmont United Way. Generous donations have also been received from many many peo■ pie from the local communities and businesses. Our thanks go out to all those who have made this a great campaign year for Piedmont United Way and the agencies that are supported by their giving. We still ask for you to give yourself a gift this holiday season so that a smile of a child receiving a hot meal before school, a senior citizen waiting for a hot meal and someone to say a few words to, the pride of an adult getting their GED through a literacy program, a mother hugging her children, knowing they are safe from domestic violence and a homeless family knowing that they will have a clean, warm place to sleep can continue. United Way agencies provide many services in the local community that would be impossible to continue without the help of all the contributions of Piedmont United Way. “When we give of ourselves, others recive countless gifts each day all year round. Improving the lives of others helps us to improve our lives and our community,” commented Ms. Roberts. If you haven’t sent in your pledge to help support all the Piedmont / United agencies you can still do so my mailing a check of a pledge for billing, to the Piedmont United Way, P.0. Box 398, Culpeper, Va. 22701 or ask your place of employment if you can give through payroll deduction, or you can contact our office at 825-7615 and we will be glad to send you a pledge card and brouchure with information on all the Piedmont United Way agencies. All 21 agencies and the Piedmont United Way are depending on your generosity to help those needing help the most!

Mincemeat - Traditional Holiday Food By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics •• Mincemeat is a traditional holiday food used to make mince pies and other desserts. It is made from beef, cooked and chopped fine, and put through a food grinder. The ground cooked beef is combined with suet, currants, raisins, apples, lemon and orange peel, brown sugar, spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and then soaked with run or brandy. It is usually made 3-4 weeks before Christmas and should be stored in a clean stone crock or glass jar in a cold, dry place. Many older and historical cookbooks give the directions for making mincemeat. Today prepared mincemeat can be purchased at grocery' stores and used in many recipes for holiday desserts and breads. Here are a few recipes using mincemeat to flavor them. These all use the commercially prepared mincemeat since it’s easier and more convenient.
