It also meant the county’s many miles of winding, hilly secondary roads would remain treacherous, if not impassable, in spots for several days afterward. But loth Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT > officials and county authorities said earlier this week that, despite a record-setting snowfall, there were few accidents and the weekend was relatively quiet. Total snowfall recorded by the National Weather service Friday night through early Sunday ranged from 16.5 inches in Washington to 18 in Sperryville and 24 in Boston The 15 inches that fell at Reagan National Airport broke the previous record for a December snowfall of 11.5 inches set 77 years ago. “Because it started on a Friday night, and because it was so well-predicted, 1 think people had enough time to prepare and just stayed off the roads Saturday, and to a certain extent Sunday.” said County Administrator John McCarthy. The Sheriff's Office and state police reported no major accidents or incidents on county roads during the storm or in the days afterward, though emergency vehicles from the Amissville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company had to be helped out of ditches and drifts twice during the w eekend, in both cases by unidentified tractor-driving Samaritans There were reports that secondary roads seemed to remain in worse condition longer than in previous years, most of them coming via Rappnet, the email list-serve with some 800 subscribers, most believed to be in Rappahannock. Those reports and others - that Fauquier and Culpeper county roads seemed in better shape Sunday than Rappahannock's, and that VDOT budget cuts w ere responsible for allegedly inferior service - were disputed by a VDOT official involved in snow removal operations here. VDOT regional manager David C'ubbage said the volume and rate of snowfall - not any budget considerations - was what made clearing a challenge The mix of employees tmd contractors plowing and treating Rappahannock’s roads was “certainly comparable to previous years’ fleets,” Cubbage said “We had dry pavement on 211, 522 and 231 by midday [Sunday!. As far as overall performance in this storm, which was probably the most significant snowfall we’ve seen in six, maybe 10 years. I am impressed - both as a citizen and as a manager.” Amissville’s rescue squad was helped out by locals See SNOW, Page A8 Photo Dy George Greer Fourth-grade boy wins winter art and holiday card contest Bi Jan Clattkkbitk Rappahannock News Staff Writer The holiday card sent from Rappahannock County Public Schools this year features a drawing by 10-year-old Connor Culbertson, a fourth-grader at Rappahannock elementary school. Culbertson’s drawing of a red bam, green fields and mountains, was chosen from among 50 classroom works entered by students of elementary" school art teacher Harriette Rosenblatt. She started the students off by taking photographs of different scenes around the county that illustrated the theme of this year’s Art and Holiday Card Contest: “Beautiful Rappahannock.” “I feel excited and I’m very surprised, considering all the other great entries,” Connor said, in an interview with School Superintendent Robert Chappell for a [xxlcast on See CARD, Page A3 WINNER: Connor Culbertson. 10. center at left, of Amissviile won first p<ace in the winter art and card contest sponsored by the Rappahannock County Elementary School.

Local groups step up to help unique chimp sanctuary By Laura Ruby Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer When Amissville’s Karen Allen asked the Little Fork Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department to consider donating an old ambulance that it had taken out of service to Chimp Haven, the volunteers — probably like most people Rappahannock News P.O. Box 59 Washington, Va. 22747 (540)675-3338 (540) 675-3088 (fax) in the region — had no idea that such a place existed. Once they learned about Chimp Haven and its mission, though, the group did what many others do upon discovering the Louisiana sanctuary for chimpanzees: They offered a donation. Spread over 200 acres in Keithville, La., the sanctuary currently cares for 127 chimpanzees, most of whom came to the facility afler years of living in laboratories where they were used in medical research.

Deadline to be in Rappahannock County Visitors Guide is Dec. 31 By Laura Overstreet Special to the Rappahannock News The deadline for subscribing to a listing and for reserving display advertising space in Rappahannock County’s 2010 Visitors Guide is Dec. 31, according to Jim Offutt, who publishes the guide through the Rappahannock Business Alliance. The guide is a private publication supported by voluntary advertising and is used by the county’s Office of Tourism in the absence of any countydeveloped and funded publication. Participation by local tourismbased businesses is voluntary. The guide is the primary marketing piece that the Tounsm Office uses in fulfilling travel information requests from potential visitors to Rappahannock. The county does not separately publish any similar brochure. In 2009, the Office of Tourism launched an official free, countywide tourism Web site, VisitRappahannock VA.com, for listing and promoting all tourism and hospitality-related businesses and related organizations. Meals From Page A1 Over the past year, 366 chapters in 43 states and the Canadian province of Ontario donated 19,120 turkeys to families in need during the holiday seasons of Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. From 2001 to 2008, NWTF members have donated a total of 90,856 turkeys to their communities which have fed more than a half million people. The Rappahannock NWTF chapter recently has added to the statistics by helping those within the county For the past two years the Aaron Mountain Strutters (Rappahannock chapter) have been donating to Rappahannock Social Services for those less fortunate in the county. This year the chapter was able to donate a total of 30 dinners to the food bank. Each dinner included a turkey, yams, green beans, com, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy. Half of the dinners were given out during Thanksgiving and the rest are being given out for Christmas. For more information go to www. nwtf.org or call Darrvi Jenkins (540)270-3710. Events of interest to visitors are posted to the online Web site calendar by sponsoring businesses and organizations. The county's Web site and the privately-produced Visitors Guide work hand-in-hand as part of an integrated marketing program, along with press promotion and limited print advertising, to market the county as a desirable destination to audiences in the mid-Atlantic region. Over 1,300 Visitors Guides were mailed out in 2009 in direct response to queries generated by the county's ad in the Virginia Travel Guide and in response to requests generated from ads appearing in selected magazines and those from visitors to the county’s tourism Web site. Of the 15,000 guides printed for the year, several thousand guides were distributed to targeted Virginia Welcome Centers. Additionally, guides were given to travel media throughout the year, individual businesses used them in their marketing r efforts, and guides were available at kiosks and at major county tourism events. During 2010, participation in the Visitors Guide should be more useful than ever for local tourism-related businesses and organizations. Currently underway are discussions leading to the establishment of a countywide Visitors Center where, when once established, the guide will be prominently used with the traveling public. Also, the possibility of new information kiosks being built is being discussed where the guide will be made available. Use of the guide goes hand-in-hand with other facets of the county’s integrated tourism marketing program. For more information on listing and/or advertising in Rappahannock County’s 2010 Visitors Guide, contact Jim Offutt, Rappahannock Business Alliance, at RBA@rappcova.com or call 540-987-8010. Laura Overstreet is the tourism consultant for Rappahannock County. Card From Page A1 the school system's Web site at rappa hannock.va.schoolwebpages.com. Connor is the son of Paul and Holly Culbertson of Amissville. The theme was designed to connect the contest to the school system’s “Go Green Virginia” project, a Virginia School Board Association challenge that recognizes recycling and other environmental efforts that reduce the school system’s and surrounding community’s carbon footprint, said Assistant Superintendent Becky Greer. With husband George Greer, the assistant superintendent has sponsored the card contest in the schools for the past three years. After Rosenblatt brought in the pictures for the students to study, the art classes discussed the buildings, trees, plants, mountains, roads, fences and sky. Then students practiced blending colors with color pencils, selecting one photo to begin drawing from. At the Virginia School Board Association’s annual conference Nov. 17, Rappahannock County Public Schools officially met the requirements of the “Go Green, Virginia” Challenge for its efforts in recycling and in raising and serving local and sustainable farm products.

Audit Bureau of Circulations www.rappnews.com THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2009 Yes, Virginia To the editor: I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says “If ypu see it in The Sun it’s sft” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O’Hanlon 115 W. 95th Street Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s not proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear part. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that certain beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real «md abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives, and he fives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay ten times ten thousand years from now, he will Continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Editorial published in the New York Sun, September 21, 1897 Out of the Attic From the balcony in the Rappahannock Library (now the Washington Town Hall), this was the scene Saturday as Santa Claus distributed books to youngsters. (The photo and caption ran in the Dec. 25,1969 edition of the Rappahannock News.) Letters Bring dogs inside during winter While most people in Virginia would never think of leaving their dogs outside during the winter, many people see nothing w’rong with it, and their dogs will die. I urge dog caretakers to bring their dogs inside A doghouse does not protect them from the brutally cold temperatures, and once their body temperature drops they will succumb from hypothermia. Not only can they not keep warm, they cannot maintain proper hydration. Many people believe dogs can remain hydrated by eating snow or licking their frozen water bowl, it simply isn’t true. We are asking animal control offi cers and police officers to take action to help these outdoor dogs. When they observe dogs left outside 24/7. insist that the caretaker bring the dog inside. If they refuse and the dog lacks adequate shelter or food, or the water bowl is frozen, we ask that you charge them under the Virginia anti-cruelty laws. A frozen water bowl is illegal in Virginia. The law states the dog must have water, not ice. We also see dogs with frostbite, and under Virginia law, dog caretakers are required to provide their dogs with medical care. If the frostbite is not being treated, they are breaking the law. Ignorance of the law is no excuse, and we are asking good Samaritans that are concerned about an outdoor dog to contact animal control or their local police department. We are simply trying to save the lives of dogs this winter, and the more help we have, the better.

Managing holiday stress A time of festivity, parties, shopping, entertaining and family gatherings, the holiday season can be full of excite. ment and fun. For many people, however, this time of year is inevitably accompanied by stress, as we find ourselves overscheduled and pressured to create a holiday that meet others’ expectations. Often, we also may experience depression, as feelings of sadness and anger are intensified when contrasted with the expected joy of the season. One key to minimizing holiday stress and depression is being aware that the holidays can trigger stress and depression. Personal relationships, finances and time constraints can lead to these feelings. Understanding these three potentially stressful aspects of your life can help you to take steps to prepare for and prevent the associated negative feelings. Personal relationships can cause stress at any time, but tensions are often heightened during the holidays. Family togetherness — especially for a length of time — can lead to conflict as arguments arise, personalities clash and planned agendas eliminate personal choice. On the other hand, if you are alone on the holidays and are dealing with the recent loss of a loved one or a breakup, the holidays can bring up many feelings of loneliness. To cope with these feelings, remember that your family and friends are under the same pressures as you. and try to set aside grievances for a more appropriate time. If you are dealing with a loss of a loved one, understand that your feelings are normal and let yourself grieve. Adjusting your typical holiday routine may help to distract you from memories associated with your loved one and to create new memories. If you are going through a divorce or a breakup, the holidays can seem particularly lonely. Surround yourself by friends and loved ones who can offer you support and help you through the difficult time. Like relationships, your financial situation can cause stress at any time of the year, but the demands of the holidays usually exacerbate that stress. Overspending on gifts, travel and entertainment may help to make your season bright, but will lead to months of stress as you struggle to pay the credit card bills and to make ends meet. In the short term, it may stress you out during the festivities of the holiday, as you anticipate the bills that will be coming. Time is one of the leading stressors of the holiday season as we are faced with so many demands — shopping, baking, parties, wrapping — and very limited time to fit it all in. Sleep and exercise are usually the first to suffer as we try to squeeze more into our day. Add to this the fact that you will be exposed to more sweets and alcohol due to holiday parties, and it is clear that your health can certainly suffer this time of year. Unfortunately, alcohol consumption can also increase, symptoms of depression, while lack of sleep and an unhealthy diet can add to your stress. To manage your schedule, do not be afraid to say no to invitations. Prioritize what you need to do and do not be afraid to take shortcuts if needed. Home baked cookies are nice, but store-bought will be just as appreciated. Try not to let the holidays impact your normal routing of diet, sleep and exercise. Adjusting these habits can leave you feeling rundown and more susceptible to illness, which will certainly add to your stress. Try to simplify your holiday experience, manage your expectations and know your limits. Roll with the punches and plan ahead to make the most of the season while taking active steps to avoid undue stress and pressure. Dr. Michael Oberschneider Ashburn Psychological Services Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 40 YEARS AGO December 25, 1969 Jane Kilby of Spemville will receive the Good Citizen Award given each year to a senior student at Rappahannock County High School The award is presented by the Culpeper Minuteman Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and selection is based on dependability, leadership, sendee and patriotism The holiday spirit is aroused in everyone and in keeping with the season Home Ec students at Rappahannock County High School have been receiving instruction in Christmas cooking and decorating: Dorothy Deal, Joyce Dodson, Dale Woodard and Betty Lou Atkins. Miss Jane Coleman is the teacher in these classes. We acknowledge the following new and renewing subscribers with appreciation: William B. Bolt, C. E. Johnson, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. H. W.

Campbell, Mrs. John Paulson, James DeBergh. 25 YEARS AGO December 13,1984 W inners of the 4-H candy bar sales campaign were announced at the elementary school on Dec. 7. The announcement and presentation of three of four winner’s ribbons was made by County Extension Agent Florence Vickers. Daphne Atkins earned first prize by selling five boxes. Her pnze either will be a scholarship to 4-H camp or her choice of some other 4-H activity Jim McCullough, a junior at the high school won second pnze, $25, for selling five boxes. John Mallory took third-place honors., $15, for selling four full boxes Morgen Hay won the $10 fourth pnze, selling nine candy bars short of four boxes. She calls herself an “old fashioned librarian," and says that really means she has not yet begun to call herself a “media center specialist,” an up-to-date name for her vocation. Rather than fall back on fancy titles, Rappahannock Elementary School Librarian Lucia Kilby looks forward to teaching children what readmg-and a good library-can do for them. Mrs. Kilby has been a full-time librarian at the elementary school since it opened in 1968. She has been employed by the Rappahannock school system since 1950, although she worked at home raising her two children, between 1953-1965, and was a substitute teacher between those years. The Rappahannock County School Board expressed its concern over the delay in repairs to the elementary school roof at its meeting on Tuesday. The Board had expected to have the roof repairs completed at the end of the session’s first month, but Superintendent Robert Estabrook told the Board that only 40 percent has been finished to date. The Board authorized EBtabrook to contact Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke about the legal implications surrounding the contract with the roofing firm. The tune limit set forth in that contract has been exceeded. 10 YEARS AGO December 15,1999 Nearly 10 years ago, Patrick O’Connell, chef and proprietor of The Inn at Little Washington, ! hosted a tour and tea to benefit Trinity Episcopal Church. The event raised $10,000 for the church and 1,000 people attended. On April , 4,2000, The Inn will repeat the performance. O’Connell recalls the first event, “We felt it would have to be on a day that we are closed, so we close Tuesday. We were not expecting too big a turnout." But turnout they did. The line extended all the way around the block. Three 4-H members. Josh Makela, Gunnar Propst and Jesse Palmer all from Rappahannock County attended the 4-H Junior Caving Trip near Franklin, W. Va. Lance Johnson, 4-H leader on the trip, pointed a lot of things out. On Saturday, the group visited a commercial cave to get used to being underground. The members also explored Trout Cave where there were a lot of bats . Though hardly diverted from its business of education, the School Board and departing members Bryant lee, Ron Makela, and Chairman John Tble were honored Tuesday night for their dedication, hard work, selflessness and effectiveness by an auditorium filled with who**! staff, community activists, and parents. , Compiled by Jan Clatterbuck

Seven simple steps to avoid the ‘seasonal seven’ What is the seasonal seven? It is not the Seven Swans a Swimming, but the average amount of weight most Americans gain between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. My motto is it is easier to keep it off than take it off. Now having said that, yes, we can still enjoy the holidays and all the festivities that go along with them. We just need to be more aware of some simple but winning strategies that will help keep you out of the majority. Now may not be the time to think weight loss, however many of my clients are thrilled if they can just hold steady and not gain weight. The balanced or moderate approach works every time as opposed to the all or nothing approach. Let’s enjoy the holidays and by following these simple steps you may find you’re still in your jeans in January. Tip 1: Don’t go to the party hungry! We often think if we “starve’’ ourselves all day we can indulge at the party. A better party strategy- is to eat all day light healthy meals, keep hydrated and then have a small protein snack with a small amount of healthy fat just prior to heading out the door. Snack ideas might be a handful of nuts and an apple, carrots and hummus, a low fat cheese and fruit. Living Whole Health Cheryl Mirabella-Caldwell This 200-calorie snack will give you the ability to make better choices at the buffet and bar. Tip 2: Buffet strategy! Use a small plate or napkin; leave the large plate on the table. Fill it with lean meat or seafood, fresh fruits or veggies and then take a small amount of your favorite treat. It’s not about deprivation it is about keeping treats in the treat category. Find nourishing conversation to fill you up. Tip 3: Offer to bring a healthy dish. Everyone will be as glad as you to have a wonderful big green salad, fruit plate, or whole grain salad. I always bring a big box of clementine tangerines to our neighborhood kids holiday party and they eat them up every time, talk aboyt easy and healthy. Tip 4: Stay hydrated. Often we overeat and drink excess alcoholic drinks high in calories when we are simply thirsty Drink a glass of water after each drink. Mix your wine with sparkling water. A 3 oz glass of wine is between 80-100 calories. Tip 5: Eat mindfully. Pay attention to how quickly you eat PUBLIC NOTICE^, Holiday Gosings The Rappahanmxk County Sanitary Landfill will be closed to the public all day Thanksgiving Day (November 26).

Savor the flavor by eating slowly and choosing your food carefully. I tell my clients use the power of “pause." Take a moment to take in your food with all your senses, sight, smell and taste. Not only will you enjoy it more but you will most likely consume less. Tip 6: Crowd out the Empties. Do not think elimination or deprivation. Think “crowd” them out. Nine servings a day is the optimal amount of veggies and fruits utilizing a variety of colors. Trust me, the high fiber and water content in these foods will fill you up and you may not even crave the empty high caloric foods. Food that enters the bloodstream quickly promotes weight gain. Food that enters slowly promotes weight loss.

RAPPAHANNOCK 3T REAL ESTATE ^RESOURCES qMK PxomKi Health From Page A5 In other words, limit or avoid empty calories. They deplete your body of essential vitamins and minerals, make you gain weight, throw off your body’s ability to regulate sugar and don’t even fill you up. Highly-processed foods enter the bloodstream very rapidly while the same amount of sugar from high fiber, high protein kidney beans enters your blood slowly. If you drink a soda, all the sugar in it goes into your bloodstream at once. The calories you are not using at the moment will be stored as fat. .Now .those kidney beans on the other hand: the sugar in them is absorbed over time, your body has a greater chance to use the calories, which means less is stored and more is burned. Because of the high fiber content of the beans, not all the calories will be absorbed. Tip 7: Exercise the energizer. Exercise will give you the added energy boost you need to keep going. Continue your workout schedule, but ease off a bit to allow for the extra time holiday commitments take. You don’t want to stress yourself out or quit exercising completely. Add in passive exercise wherever you can — celebrate the parking space miles away, add an extra loop around the mall, and put on a holiday CD and rock around the Christmas tree. Take short walks morning, noon and night — 15 minutes times three adds up. Schedule your gym workouts on the calendar just like any important appointment. Put tango lessons on your holiday wish list.

One such directive, a "living will." makes known what type of medical treatment patients either do or do not want ip the event that they arc incapacitated and noncommunicative at the end ol their lives Another directive, known as a "medical power of attorney." appoints an agent to act on the patient's behalf to make a decision about care in the event he or she is unable to do so. As with funeral preplanning, the more ambiguity that i^ taken out of end-of-life decisions, die more loved ones are spared the responsibility of trying to discern the dying person's wishes Along with pre determining how to handle medical issues, many people are now opting to make preneed decisions regarding the commemoration of their passing Determining mcmoriali/ation options ahead of time spares those who will be left behind with the necessity of making those difficult decisions when they are mourning their loss To leam more about MOSER FUNERAL HOME and pre-need, contact us at l540i 347-3431 We will arrange an initial, confidential consultation and lour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave , Warrenton.

Simply allowing them to choose whether they want to be inside or outside, with the group or alone is a huge change, and improvement, for intelligent animals who spent years unable to chose literally anything about their lives, Brent said. Allen has been involved with Chimp Haven for 10 years and has long w orked with animals. She worked with the American Zoo and Aquatic Association, helped raise a gorilla and orangutans for another organization, and serves on the advisory board for Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park in Florida. For Chimp Haven, she han dies government affairs, funding, and public affairs, splitting time between her home on the Rappahannock-Culpeper County line, the Louisiana facility, and travel to promote the facility. “1 asked [Little Fork] to consider donating the ambulance to the chimps. It was kind of a strange thing for anybody to ask,' Allen recalled, noting that the Little Fork group was open to the idea and agreed to hear her presentation. The ambulance will be used as a mobile clinic and transport unit for the chimpanzees, Allen said. “Most people don’t know about us. We are very careful. We know that there are a lot of human needs out there. We try very hard not to encroach on those areas When people see the DVT) and see what the chimps have done for all of us, it’s no longer just a local issue. ■ “Geographically, we are far Protecting Your Small Business Assets We can halo you develop your business • Create ILC% / • Create Corporations • Business Plans • Operating Agreements ‘ * Marketing Plans • Home-based Business • Business Insurance •Tax Benefits • Employee Handbooks • Operating Mannuals Keith L.

We rely on the kindness of others and’ donations to make this work. These people are just amazing to have done what they did.’ For its part, the Little Fork Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department was pleased to be able to help, said Deputy Chief Doug Monaco. The 1994 ambulance, which had been donated to Little Fork by the City of Fairfax four or five years ago, had outlived its usefulness as an emergency vehicle for humans, Monaco said. Through a state grant and a donation from the Laila Rose Foundation, the company was able to purchase a new ambulance and intended to sell the old one, which could no longer be used as an ambulance in Virginia. Monaco said. “We used it to the end of its life. It was just wom out for transporting people,' Monaco said, noting that though there was some interest in purchasing the vehicle, the company voted to donate it to Chimp Haven after meeting Allen and learning about the sanctuary The donation was just the start of the local community's support for Chimp Haven, Allen said. Vocational students in Craig Canard's Fauquier High School class lent their expertise, removing the fire department's decals to make room for Chimp Haven's name and logo. Holiday Inn Express in Warrenton donated sheets and towels to outfit the former ambulance and Dr. William Dougherty of Falls Church donated dental tools. Fauquier Hospital provided a wheelchair it could no longer use, and Little Fork threw in some other patient transport hardware. Snow From Page A1 twice - once in the middle of the storm. Saturday night, as its utility' vehicle struggled up a curve on Aaron Mountain Road and wound up in a culvert. It was pulled out by a farmer driving a large tractor and reached its patient successfully. On Sunday, the squad's ambulance was stuck for a time on Castle Mountain Road, where it was assisting on a Castleton Rescue Squad ambulance call. “I was in front of our ambulance in my own truck with a plow,” said Amissville squad member Bubba Hitt. “The Castleton ambulance got stuck, our ambulance got stuck. I got my truck stuck - and we were all pulled out by somebody with a tractor. Everybody was so busy getting to the call that we didn’t get to see who it was." tt-xrf Slyistawra w# *»:i5Wi m*i **••*# -i'flir- »n-v <«$»<•, -wi.-, .jswfett «inW 1 i 99* GUTTER per ft.
