Goodbye December. Hello January and 1985. A moment of reflection.come on December, what were you trying to do? You had a lot of people putting question marks (????) into their thoughts, where Winter weather is concerned. December. Maybe it’s just the sound of the name. Everyone knows when this month makes its appearance, cold weather is about to chill our bones. Last (1983) December, yes. This December, no. Before we get too wrapped up with January, which won’t be difficult let’s assure ourselves that December was or wasn’t playing a little game with our minds. Perhaps if we slice it into thirds it wilf give us an insight. The first third-brrrr! Cold! Some seasonably cold temperatures and echoes of, “It’s about time!” Average high - 42.4. Average low - 27.6. Overall average - 35.0. What else? This is December. The second third - “Can you believe this weather?” How many times did we hear that one? Smiles or frowns? Want to save on the ftiel bill? Smiles. Want to go skiing? Frowns. What the heck. Winter, officially, comes on December 21st anyway. Average high - 56.4. Average low - 38.7. Overall average - 47.5. The last third (including December 31st) - “Mom, why did Santa Claus bring me this sled for Christmas?” Average high - 51.6. Average low - 32.4. Overall average - 42.0. (Continued on Page 2) Landfill Board Halts Consideration Of Site By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock New. Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors on January 7 passed a motion to “abandon all proceedings or plans to institute a landfill at the Margolis site.” The Margolis site is on Route 621 near Peyton Farm Estates and has been the subject of controversy for over two months, ever since the Board first proposed to condemn the 138-acre tract of land. The motion passed during the Board’s regular meeting. Prior to the passing of the motion, Supervisor Nelson Lane read a conciliatory message to all present. “Your Supervisors are stepping up to the plate and are going to deal with this critter. Before we beat up too many people that don’t live next to us, let’s turn this sow’s ear into a silk purse. Let us not fix this problem with another problem of much greater risk and historical probability of impact. I have seen the potential energy of this predicament divide the county.” Lane continued, “I feel there is a county-wide consensus that we should redirect two forms of energy: 1) we should band together and focus this human energy towards a common and plausible goal, and 2) realize that this trash problem really is a thing of value. I feel Rappahannock is now prepared to force the concept of a regional plant that incinerates this trash and accomplishes several goals. ” Supervisor Lane said the new concept would avoid court battles, division of peoples, and taxpayers expense, things that would “occur everytime a landfill is sited.” He said the concept (of incineration) would reverse this trend of today where potential energy is wasted. Transforming refuse into a usable form of energy would “eventually decrease the cost to the taxpayer to dispose of this trash,” Lane said. He added that the incineration process wwrid detoxify the waste and thereby protect groundwater resources. “But most of all,” said Lane, “(the plan) would make good common sense.” Everybody at the meeting seemed to agree with Supervisor Lane. Rex Lindstrom of Washington offered his thoughts. Regarding the landfill issue, he said he didn’t see very much progress being made so he started to think of alternatives. “I think that everyone here agrees that landfills never do work and never will be a satisfactory method of disposing of trash,” Lindstrom said. He affirmed that incineration was the most feasible method of doing so. Then he proposed that the counties in planning district 9 work together to build an incineration plant. Lindstrom had spoken with most of the Supervisors about his idea and, prior to the meeting, he had already presented them with a proposal. Supervisor Richard Latham (the chairmanship passed from him to Hubert Gilkey III) agreed to bring this proposal before the Board at its next regular meeting. Planning Commission Letter Before the motion to abandon consideration of the Margolis site passed, Chairman Gilkey asked Diane Bruce, the County Clerk, to read a resolution from the Planning Commission, drafted by David Konick. The resolution, stating the findings and recommendations to the Board as to whether the Margolis site is in substantial accord with the Comprehensive Plan, is summarized as follows: • Finding I states that, in selecting the Margolis tract as the proposed landfill site, the Board failed to comply with Goal 1 of the Comprehensive Plan. Goal 1 states that the planning process should encourage the greatest possible citizen understanding of an involvment in public decisions affecting the quality of life in Rappahannock County. • Finding 2 states that a landfill on the Margolis tract would not encourage an orderly land use development pattern that would enhance existing economic, social, or natural environmental characteristics of the county. Goal 2 of the Comprehensive Plan states that any land development should do just this. • Finding 3 states that a U.S. government geologist found that a landfill on the Margolis tract would have a det-, rimental effect on the long term value of Rappahannock County’s natural resources. Goal 3 of the Comprehensive Plan states that the long term value of Rappahannock’s natural resources should be maintained. • Finding 4 states that the Board has not adopted a capital improvements program in regard to the purchase of the Margolis tract. Goal 7, Objective 7E, of the Comprehensive Plan states that a five-year capital improvements program should address the requirements of public facilities. • Finding 5 states that, due to imr provements required on Route 621 and possibly on other nearby roads, construction costs, and costs of acquiring rights-of-way, acquisition of the Margolis tract would not comply with Goal 8 of the Comprehensive Plan. Goal 8 states that an efficient transportation system should be encouraged. Letter From Owners Sam Stem, who owns the 138-acre tract along with Dan Margolis, sent a letter to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, which was read to the Board. “While this consideration takes place, our property is in limbo, and we are unable to proceed with our plan to sell it,” wrote Stem. “We obviously cannot do so while the county maintains the cloud of a possible condemnation (over the property).” The owners (Continued on Page 5) Ice covered branches nock. Rappahannock Newt Photo/Jon Klavtrkamp glisten on a Chilly morning ir^ Rappahan& Teachers Provide Budget Information To Board A By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock County School Board members received input on the 1985-8$ budget during its meeting on Tuesday, January 8. Approximately 20 teachers from the schools attended the meeting, and Sharon Bloss made a presentation to the board on behalf of the Rappahannock County Education Association. UI would like to present a plan for attaining and' retaining quality teachers in Rappahannock County,” said Bloss. "We do of course maintain that quality education does exist in Rappahannock County, however we feel that the only way that this quality can be maximized is to look out for those individuals who are primarily responsible for the educational experiences of our children-teachers. ” Bloss presented information, graphs and charts to the board in support of the group’s contention that teachers in Rappahannock should receive better fringe benefits and salaries. “We must feel, those of us who are career teachers, that we are able to maintain a respectable standard of living,” said Bloss. “Our goal is to have you recognize these necessities and focus on them when you’re planning your budget for the next school year.” In the area of fringe benefits, Bloss said the teachers were requesting the board to consider a full transfer of accumulated sick leave from other teaching jobs when a teacher is hired in Rappahannock, an increase in the limit put on accumulated sick leave in the county from 100 days to 180 days and that teachers leaving the system, retiring or transfering receive 1/2 of the per diem rate of their salaries. Also, Bloss said that the teachers were requesting the board to change the leave of absence policy now in Force. Bloss asked the board to consider a plan that would allow an employee who has worked at least seven years to take a sabbatical, and that the reasons for a leave of absence should be expanded in a variety of areas listed by Bloss. Bloss said that high school teachers were requesting a duty-free lunch for the entire school year. An expansion of Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance coverage to full coverage for an individual was also requested. On a^ graph of teacher fringe benefits in 135 counties in 1983-84, Bloss showed that Rappahannock County ranks 110. Bloss then addressed teachers’ salary requests. Bloss showed Rappahannock’s average teacher salary compared to the national, state and local averages. The average salary for a teacher in Rappahannock, according to the graph presented by Bloss, is $15,509 which is below all of the other averages. Bloss said that the data for all of the charts was provided by the Virginia Education Association. Average teacher salaries among the surrounding counties were also compared to Rappahannock’s average. Rappahannock’s average minimum salary of $12,540 and average maximum salary for a teacher of $18,308 are both lower than the minimum and maximum averages in Fauquier, Culpeper, Warren, Page and Madison Counties. “We agreed that we need to be brought up to the average of surrounding counties,” said Bloss. “Which means bringing us up to $13,498 for a starting salary for this year, and then of course Governor Robb is requesting that all teachers get a 10 per cent salary increase which all of the surrounding counties will be requesting so to maintain that average we will have to increase that by another 10 per cent.” Those increases would make the beginning salary for a teacher in Rappahannock $14,848, and the average maximum salary would be $23,828. “It is time that Rappahannock County catches up on the neglect it has given teachers’ salaries over the years, and catch up to at least an average standard,” Bloss said. “We know, we feel the neglect every day in trying to live on shoestring budgets.” Bloss presented information in support of the view that Rappahannock County is able to pay more for education than it currently does. In an index of local ability to pay in the area, Rappahannock County ranked above the other five surrounding counties. By comparison, a graph of the same counties’ effort to pay for education placed Rappahannock at the bottom. Another graph showed the 1982 real estate tax on an $80,000 home in Rappahannock and surrounding counties. Rappahannock was again at the bottom of the graph presented by Bloss. “Can Rappahannock County afford to raise real estate taxes-I think so,” said Bloss. “How much longer can the rich landowner hide behind the poor in this county-the poor probably don’t own any land anyhow. The only hope for the poor is to better themselves through education, yet are they to be denied that?” Bloss asked the board to consider all of the information, and defend the salary increase and fringe benefit re quests to the Board of Supervisors. Beverly Massie, chairman of the School Board, thanked Bloss and the people who helped her for the thorough presentation. “We hope that you will give the school system and the School Board your support when we do our budget and present it to the Board of Supervisors,” Massie said. The board will begin working on the budget during March. The board plans to meet on March 5, 12, 19 and if needed, March 26 on the budget. The budget will have to be presented to the Board of Supervisors by April 1. In other business, Superintendent Robert Estabrook reported on the progress of several continuing matters. At last month’s meeting, the board was in formed of a state mandate regarding the evaluation of children referred to the special education program. The state has changed its regulations to the extent that school systems are to have sociological surveys of the children made by a visiting teacher or a licensed social worker. Estabrook told the board that an arrangement is being worked on between the Social Services Department and the school system. The board also received a report on the youth alcohol abuse prevention project from Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell. The program will be a state-wide effort to address the problem of alcohol abuse by conducting workshops with teenagers from across (Continued on Page 3) WSA Discusses Finances, Business By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The good news last month about the final financial arrangements being made by the Water and Sewer Authority led to some problems during this month’s meeting. Now that the WSA has the money needed for the Sperryville Sewage System, the payment of bills has become more complicated. Authority members expressed concern that even small bills would now have to go through two months of consideration by the bank acting as trustee for the WSA’s funds before any payment can be made. The members decided to look into whether or not the Authority can have its own account to handle bills involving “petty” cash. Hank Gerhart, of the engineering firm of Buchart-Hom, Inc. of Williamsburg, asked the Authority for permission to send out the notices of contract awards as soon as a part B application to the State Water Control Board and the Environmental Protection Agency is approved. Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the RappahannockRapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper, told the Authority that Stu Wilson at the State Water Control Board had advised him that the Authority is now self-certified and can issue the awards at any time. Cilimberg told the members that he still thought that the State Water Control Board should be asked to review the information in the part B ap plication to make sure that there are no other problems before awarding the contracts besides not having all of the easement agreements which are necessary for the application. Doug Baumgardner, legal counsel for the Authority, had sent a letter to Wilson at the State Water Control Board advising him that the easement agreements should be completed by the end of January. The Authority voted to have Gerhart send the contract notices when the part B application is approved by the State Water Control Board. “It’s our understanding that if we don’t get approval then we’ll have a special meeting to decide the awarding of contracts which is in our power to do,” said Chairman Bob Dennis. Gerhart also asked for the necessary signatures of the chairman and the secretary on the final contract plans. Chairman Dennis and the secretary, James White, signed the plans. The WSA also received a proposal for their audit by Dennis A. Bailey in Orange. “His quoted fee is not to exceed $1,800 for what is going to amount to a one year audit and an update of the rest of the financial matters of the Authority since its inception,” said Cilimberg. The Authority has been in existence for 16 years. Bailey also advised the Authority in a letter that the audit would be completed by February 28. The Authority approved, the offer.

General District Court Kirk Michael Keller had a mixed day in court during Tuesday’s General District Court. Judge John Alexander dropped one charge against Keller, but found him guilty of another charge. Keller was charged with driving while intoxicated and speeding in connection with the same incident, and he pled not guilty to both charges. Trooper A.J. Newlin testified that three motorcycles had gone through radar at a speed of 83 miles per hour in a 55 speed limit zone on September 23, 1984. Trooper Newlin testified that he stopped the motorcycles, and one was operated by Keller. At that time. Trooper Newlin said that he noticed the odor of alcohol about the three, and that Keller’s eyes were glazed over. Trooper Newlin then administered the field test to the three, and the three took a breathalizer test. Keller’s attorney asked Trooper Newlin about a state regulation that requires a calibration of the radar before and after each violation. Taking note of that regulation, and the lack of the presentation of a calibration. Judge Alexander dropped the speeding charge. Regarding the DWI charge, Keller testified that he was taking a prescribed medication at the time that his doctor did not advise him should not be mixed with alcohol. Keller said that he and his friends had been to a wine festival that day, and that he had had three to four glasses of wine during the (fey and had eaten one hot dog. Saying that Keller had testified that he had been drinking and had not eaten much during the day, Judge Alexander found Keller guilty of driving while intoxicated. Judge Alexander fined Keller $200 plus $20 costs, and suspended his operator’s license for six months. The decision will be appealed.

The Wingfield Report (Continued from Page 1) December has gone. It left us a little of everything, including confusion. Only a year apart, this month of December gave us the following contrasts. The warmest December temperature of 1983 was 52 degrees. In 1984 it was 74 degrees. The coldest temperature this December was 17 degrees warmer than the coldest recorded a year ago (15 degrees compared to two below zero). Many people have an interest in weather as it nears Christmas Day. Warmer temperatures, they say, do not make it seem like Christmas. In 1983, on Christmas Day, the thermometer recorded only a total of +11 degrees: A high of 13. A low of -2. This year, December 25th produced temoeratures of 51 for a high and 23 for a low. 74 total degrees! In addition, last December produced 6.73 inches of precipitation, while this December Programs Offered Piedmont Technical Education Center is once again beginning its Adult Basic Education (ABE) program to serve the citizens of Culpeper, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock ' Counties. Currently, the center offers free ABE classes to adults with less than a 9th grade education at the school on Route 15, five miles south of the town of Culpeper. Instruction stresses skills in the areas of reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, and other basic subjects. The center is also offering its General Educational Development (GED) classes. These classes are designed to prepare adults who have a ninth grade or higher education to sit for the GED examination.

There were some questions from town citizens about the new charter. The bill was presented to the council at its December meeting by Doug Baumgardner, and at that time council members asked for two changes in the charter bill. Those t#o changes provided for the continued election of the town treasurer, and the addition of a clause which states that the town cannot tax property. Baumgardner advised the council that those changes had been made. Baumgardner then read through the charter at the request of citizens in the audience. The charter defines the powers of the mayor and the town council, provides for town offices and possible appointments and makes reference to a section of the State Code that specifies certain powers of municipalities. ‘The law in Virginia is that unless those provisions of the Virginia Code are specifically incorporated into the charter by reference to them that a municipality will not have the powers specified under those sections of the code,” said Baumgardner. “As our charter is currently drawn I con^trm it to not confer those particular powers on the town.” Washington’s charter was last drawn up in 1894. The new charter will change the term of office for council members, the treasurer and the mayor from two years to four years beginning after the next e'ection. The next election will be held on the first Tuesday of May in 1986. When asked why the change in Adult Abu ‘Adult abuse’ is a strange term. We are more familiar with its horrible counterpart: child abuse, which evokes images of shattered family ties and humanity at its wor it. -1 But the abuse of elderly and disabled persons is a problem too, and this was the topic of discussion with Sylvia Kreitler, Director of the Rappahannock Social Services Department. Abuse, as Kreitler defines it, refers not so much to the physical acts of violence that we usually associate with the word, but to negligence and other forms of exploitation. This may mean the inadequate care of patients at a hospital or nursing home, but it often means self-neglect or the inability to care for oneself at home. Kreitler’s chief role in remedying cases of abuse is to provide a referral service. After fielding a complaint or a request, Kreitler first investigates the suspected case of abuse and then, if necessary, she refers a victim to the appropriate agency. One such agency is Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock. Its Director, Lee Nettles, said that referrals come in from doctors, social services, family members, and the vie Wakefield Junioi By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer On the basis of their high scores on the 1984 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Qualifying Test, 15 Wakefield School juniofs will receive National Merit honors in 1985. The scores of the 15 students placed them in the top 5 per cent of the over one million juniors throughout the nation who took the qualifying test last October. Six of the juniors; Elise Maar, William Meuse, Tara Welty, Meera Maheswaran, Larry Tarr and Jeffrey Vail, scored in the top one per cent of college-bound juniors in the nation. Two others, Lorraine Shea and Sau Chan, scored in the top two per cent.

Campbell said that more information will be sent by the state on the plans for the workshops. The board was told that the identification process of gifted and talented students has begun, and that materials are in for a parent workshop on gifted and talented children. The board was also advised that about 15 teachers are taking a course in how to teach gifted and talented students. The next School Board meeting will be February 12. terms had been made, Baumgardner replied that the council had discussed changing to four year terms at one time during the year he had been preparing the charter. Diane Bruce asked about a clause in the charter that states that special meetings of the council can be called if there is reasonable notice given to the council members. She asked if there would be any need to include more specifics about what would constitute reasonable notice. Baumgardner said that he would check information on how specific the town charter would need to be on that subject. A recommendation was made to change the beginning of the fiscal year proposed in the charter from June 30 to July 1, and Baumgardner said that he would make that change. The charter was then approved unanimously and will be sent to the General Assembly by January 9. A boundary agreement between Rappahannock County and the town was approved by the council, and will _ be included with the charter bill. The survey of the boundaries was conducted by James G. Butler, Jr., and the boundaries serve as a political subdivision of the town and county. The boundary agreement will have to go before the circuit court to be signed, and will be posted in the newspaper. 1 The council renewed its discussion of town zoning and the council’s desire to have a town planning commission after a concern was raised about satellite dishes in the town. Council had decided to have a town planning commission to assist in passing the proposed historic district ordinance. At its December meeting, the council voted to table the historic district ordinance until February because the town charter would give the council the power to act as a town planning commission and board of zoning appeals. If the charter should have problems in being passed by the General Assembly, the council also has a proposed ordinance that would allow the appointment of a five to 15 member town planning commission. Council member Evelyn Willis made a motion that the planning commission ordinance be passed since four to five people in the audience expressed concern over the delay in the zoning work that a planning commission could begin to address such as amendments to the present town zoning ordinance or the drafting of a new ordinance. Baumgardner said that there should be no problem with the passage of the charter, and that it is emergency legislation that will take effect when it is passed. “Mr. Chairman, as far as our zoning ordinance is concerned our old ordinance is outdated, and I think that we should approach it in a comprehensive manner rather than in a piecemeal way,” said council member Newbill Miller. Willis said that she agreed that the zoning ordinance should be ap-oached comprehensively, but that until that could be done that perhaps piecemeal solutions would be better than none. Miller told the council that a professional planner from planning district nine would be available to give assistance in the development of a zoning ordinance. Miller said that he would rather that the council wait for the passage of the charter when the council would have the power to act as a planning commission. Willis’ motion to appoint a planning commission was not voted on due to the lack of a second. Mayor Peter Kramer said that he se A Problem Too tims themselves. He said that depression ranks just ahead of substance addiction as the most common problem that counselors meet with in patients. Nettles cited a figure from the National Institute Of Health indicating that between 5-10% of all people in the U.S. will require mental health services at some point in their lives. Family Guidance Services offers a sliding scale of payment, allowing people to pay according to ability. The standard fee for services is $50 per hour, but a person may pay as little as $2.50 per hour if they qualify for that rate. Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock is one of five chapters performing the same service, all comprised by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Social Services Department. Other chapters are in Madison, Fauquier, Culpeper, and Orange counties. Supervisors from each county appoint three members to the Board of Directors, which does all hiring and sets policy. Aging Services, also comprised by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Department, is another agency Sylvia Kreitler refers people to. Aging Services provides free meals 3 da$s a week (M, Th, F, llam-2pm) at the Trinity Episcopal Church. Meals also are delivered once a week into homes. To qualify for home delivery of meals a person must be at least 60 years of age, restricted to the home and unable to prepare meals. A nurse visits the home of each applicant to determine eligibility. Occasionally, a victim of abuse or neglect will resist any attempt to be helped. In such a case, Kreitler can obtain a court order, effective five days, allowing her to enforce whatever remedy she thinks necessary. The court order can be renewed once for five days. The Code of Virginia requires Physicians, Nurses, Social Workers, Mental Health Professionals, and Law Enforcement Officers to report suspected abuse or neglect of 1) persons 60 years old and older, and 2) incapacitated persons 18 years old and older. If anyone has reason to suspect that an elderly or incapacitated adult is abused or neglected, report the situation to your local Department of Social Services. *8 To Receive National Honors Van. The 15 students who will receive National Merit honors constitute nearly 50 per cent of Wakefield’s junior class. Wakefield Headmaster William Lynn attributed the “extraordinarily good showing” of the class to the hard work and intelligence of the individual members and to the rigorous curriculum and high academic standards of the school. National Merit honors are widely seen as the most important academic distinctions awarded in American secondary education. ROYAL PALACE CLEANERS & LAUNDRY East 5th St. & Warren Ave. 0.

Here’s how it would work to the advantage of all parties. Say you own your own home or condominium. You have a large equity built up, perhaps it is paid for infull with no mortgage. You plan to move in a couple of years, but would like to sell now, have the sale out of the way and the money in the bank. You also want to remain in the same residence until you move at a later date. You tell your story to a good, local Realtor (like us) and he or she will find an investor who would like to purchase such a unit for the investment (future appreciation and tax benefits) and one with a built-in tenant. You, as the tenant would pay the rent plus all the expenses to run the residence, such as taxes, utilities, maintenance, and insurance. No different than before, except your money is now in the bank or in another investment and your new owner has, in essence, a management-free, moneymaking investment.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 10,1985 Landfill Loses The landfill has lost and we think the people of Rappahannock have won. Here’s why. Landfill as a means of waste management cannot be the method of the future. The means to convert trash into energy exists now, if in an imperfect form. With such technology already in existence and sure to be perfected soon, why would Rappahannock want to revert to an almost obsolete method of waste-disposal? We think our county should look to the future and be among the first to make an efficient use of trash. That even sounds exciting. ‘Efficient use of trash!’ Who would have thought it possible? It is possible, though, so let’s do it. Rappahannock County, as everyone knows, is fortunate enough to be beautiful almost beyond description. And this is something we all take pride in. Why, then, with alternatives available, would we ever locate a very large dump anywhere in our county? Which would be ugly almost beyond description. A landfill is an environmental hazard no matter where it’s located. It creates a toxic mess that can never be undone. Once in place, it is ours forever. No thanks. Compare the unsavory permanance of a landfill to the flexibility of incineration. If we use a particular method of incineration that proves inefficient down the line, then we can turn with relative ease to another method. And no scar on our land would be left behind. As was mentioned in the January 7 meeting of the Supervisors, plans for incineration might well include other counties. A group effort is the right idea. Left to itself, one county may not have adequate resources in time and money to research and implement the best means of waste-disposal. The more brainpower the better. ^ The best reason of all for dropping landfill considerationnobody gets as a neighbor everybody else’s trash.

The Ruritans were able once again to fulfill its long standing objectives. Through hard work from members (and their wives,) key individuals, and proceeds from Ruritan fundraisers, monetary support went to the following local organizations and others: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Amissville Little League, Sunday School activities at the Amissville Baptist Church, Amissville Methodist Church, and Forest Grove Baptist Church, and the Amissville Fire & Rescue Squads. * The Ruritans employ themselves providing a variety of community sej*v- , ices. Largely through the Social Concerns Committee chaired by George Kidwell, a continuing clothes bank is available and those who are in need are assisted in many ways. Because of confidentiality much work goes without publicity. 1984 proved to be one of great importance to the Ruritan’s future and that of the communities recreation in baseball. Through a land donation of 8.66 acres from Mrs. Luther B. Stuart, the community has preserved a perma lent home for our baseball teams, and ;he Ruritans have the opportunity to nake a permanent home in Amissville. We thank Mrs. Stuart for her most generous gift to the community and that of Mrs. Sharon Greenbach Luke for her assistance with the technical difficulties. We look forward with great enthusiasm in making the land, diamonds and any activity the best the Ruritans can provide. A very special thanks goes to a very special couple who throughout the years have quietly and very actively contributed their time, talents, and money in conjunction with the Amissville Baptist and Methodist Churches, the Amissville Ruritan Club, Graham and Dorothy Hackley put together nearly 50 food and/or fruit baskets that were distributed this year as in the past. Their continued community support is unsurpassed. Although time and space does not permit the mention of each and every individual I know of who the Ruritans most graciously thank, we look forward to another banner year; with your support and the spirit of working together, we shall succeed with our objective in making our community a better place in which to live. Thanks to all! WAYNE G. KANABY Former President Amissville Ruritan Club No Love For Landfill To the editor: I’d like for all of us to take time to sort out the various aspects of the landfill controversy. All of us who have played a part in it are really working towards the same ideals. Our supervisors, individually, are contributing a tremendous amount of their own time to study Rappahannock’s trash disposal problem. They are directing their efforts towards a regional solution—an out-of-county resource recovery facility that would accept our garbage. The CCRC, as a group, has vehemently opj used a landfill on the proposed site. While stopping short of recommending any particular site for a landfill, the group has, on numerous occasions, made one very strong recommendation: Find a trash disposal facility outside the county. CCRC’s most recent recommendation on record is, “Immediately cease consideration of all landfill sites in Rappahannock County...until all reasonable alternatives to a county landfill have been ex plored.” Finally, other communities within the county are protesting the apparent possibility of a landfill near them. In particular, CCRC’s efforts have been criticized by both opponents and proponents of the Woodville site! Let’s face it, a landfill, no matter how sanitary, just does not fit in with our ideas of love of the land and peace of mind. As a friend of mine told me today, “Democracy is painful.” But in this case it has resulted in a worthwhile goal that I think will prove to be a common one: Ship our garbage outside of the county to where it can be converted to useful energy. We are faced with a very nasty problem, but wha€ Rappahannock County “family would not favor this solution? I hope the “controversy” is no longer with us so we can turn our attention to more productive and pleasant aspects of life. LYTTELTON W. WOOD Washington From Both Barrels Politics powers By GEORGE BOWLES The 1986 session of the General Assembly opening this week in Richmond will be one of the most politically charged of any in recent memory. This is the year, as all the world knows, when the voter's of the Commonwealth will be electing a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, as well as the 100 members of the House of Delegates. These elections will be interwoven in any number of intricate and fa^inating ways with the goings-on in the Commonwealth’s Capitol during the next six weeks. But Capitol observers believe this session will be superheated with political voltage, even by past gubernatorial year standards. Since 1985 is an odd-numbered year, the session, according to the constitution, is only supposed to last 30 days, but it has already been tentatively extended to 46 days. As in all years, the centerpiece of the legislative agenda will be the budget, which in oddyear short sessions is relatively small. It only involves a midcourse correction in the massive $16 billion spending document approved by last year’s session for the 1984-1986 biennium. The exact amount of the oddyear surplus, as the extra funds are somewhat inaccurately called, is always hard to pin down. This year, for example, the new money which the lawmakers will have available has been variously reported as between $123 and $160 million. Sources close to the administration say the actual amount may be as high as $175 or $180 million. Whatever its size, the way the budget pie is sliced will provide some of the most spectacular political and legislative fireworks of the session. Because it pervades just about every other legislative consideration, the budget bill will be the top bill to watch. Tied closely to the budget — and to both local and statewide political concerns — will be the legislative effort to do something about the state’s on-going corrections problems. The recent flap between Corrections Director Allyn Sielaff and the State Board of Corrections pointed up with stunning clarity the confusion that appears to haunt the administration as to just who is supposed to be running the system. “We sire in a worse political situation with respect to corrections,” said a Democratic source, “than we have been at any time since the breakout of the Mecklenburg death row inmates last May!” The situation is an embarrassment to the Robb administration and a real and present danger to the Democratic lawmakers who are running for reelection this year, as well as to the party’s statewide ticket. They are caught in a position in which there is a pressing political demand for action. Yet any meaningful action, such as more prison facilities, more guards with better pay and improved rehabilitation programs would cost money. Hence the reforms would almost certainly require a tax increase which, in an election year, would amount to hari-kari at the polls. Just how the legislators resolve this interesting dilemma will be one of the more engaging political exercises of the session. There will be a cluster of bills and Appropriations Bill line items related to corrections. All of them will bear watching. The issue of uranium mining in the state will once again be centerstage. After several years of study, the lawmakers are deeply divided over whether or not to lift a moratorium on the mining which is scheduled to expire July 1. A decision to mine the uranium would commit the taxpayers of the state to the expense of safeguarding mounds of residue from the mines which would remain radioactive for thousands of years. In spite of a proposed set of tough safeguards regulating the mining, the longterm implications of the project are, wisely we think, giving the lawmakers pause. This legislation should be watched especially closely. Once again the coal slurry pipeline will be worked over, and once again it will be a battle between the two most powerful lobbying teams in Mr. Jefferson’s marbled halls. These are the rail roads and their unlikely environmentalist allies which oppose the pipeline, and the utilities, which favor it. The issue is whether or not the utilities should be granted the right of eminent domain needed to acquire the rights of way for the line. Probably one of the most bitter brawls of the session will come over the allocation of highway funds. It will be a classic confrontation between the “country boys” and the “city boys”, both groups of which, of course, now include girls. The city boys, notably those from Northern Virginia, desperately hope to take back to the voters substantive evidence that something will be done about the packed and traffic-mangled roads in the Washington suburbs. The same is true all along the urban corridor extending to the Tidewater. They want relief this year, and in time for the elections. The country boys, however, seem willing to put off the highway fight until next year when the whole issue can be faced in the 1986-88 biennial budgeting process. In general, the country boys see it as a matter of the long term restoration of their roads, many of which have deteriorated badly. The city boys see it as a matter of immediate political survival. Scores of other issues will, of course, be raised as the lawmakers work their way through the nearly 1,700 bills and resolutions which will lik :ly be dropped in the hopper before the Jan. 22 cutoff date for the introduction of new legislation. Among them will be such vital matters as a Bill of Rights for the handicapped, upgrading education, dealing with acid rain, the disposal of hazardous waste and pay raises for state employees. It will be, as they say, a full plate. And in this election year, every legislator will be carefully weighing the impact next November of the way he presses the “yea” or “nay” button on his desk in January.

The Return of Martin Guerre This weekend’s RAAC movie, The Return of Martin Guerre received three French Academy Awards and has been acclaimed by American reviewers nationwide. In rural 16th century France, a man, played by Gerard Depardieu, arrives in a village claiming to be the long-lost husband of a wealthy woman; she accepts him, but her relatives believe him to be an imposter. The film is based on a true story of which there are written records as well as a rich oral history in the village of Artigat, where the basic conflict of love and law is still argued, fresh in the minds of the community. Vincent Canby of the New York Times called Martin Guerre “unusually rich—Gerard Depardieu is superb. A beautifully executed performance, its power is always controlled. Martin Guerre speaks to our moment.” Rappahannock Extension News By BIRGITT THORNHILL ExUnmion Agent WANT TO LOSE THOSE HOLIDAY POUNDS? WEIGHT CONTROL SERIES MAY HELP! A new approach to dieting, Weight-Control-by-Mail, is to be offered by the Rappahannock County office of the Virginia Tech Extension Service. The series of 10 lessons can begin anytime.

Janette Taper, a Virginia Tech Extension Specialist in Foods and Nutrition, worked with Rappahannock County agents to prepare the upcoming program. The lessons combine the traditional methods of weight control (restriction of caloric intake and increased physical activity) with the principles of behavior modification. Rather than ainjple weight loss alone, the goal of bethmbr modification is to help individuals ktentify and change life-long eating habits to enable them to choose a nutritionally adequate diet pattern and maintain weight loss over a lifetime. Among topics to be covered in the lessens hv mail arc: —Behavior modification techniques —General principles of weight control and its relation to good health —Menu planning —Food nutrients —Fad reduction diets —Low calorie cooking ' —Physical activity —Eating out when on a diet Participants are advised to check with their physicians before beginning the program, especially if there is knowledge of any existing health problem or if the individual is extremely overweight. Individual incentive must be there for the person to be successful with this program. Participants are encouraged to get someone in their family or a friend to work together with them throughout the series. However, the individual must be determined and really want to make the program work. It is up to the individual to follow through. <(**We’d like to work with you if you do have a weight control problem and would like to participate in our WeightControl-by-Mail Program.

Scriptures selected by the American Bible Society If you are skiing out in the woods with an amiable companion, you can revel in the white beauty of the snow. If, 9n the other hand, you are on a city street, facing aijjcy wind, you may feel quite differently about the matter. Isn't that the way it is with almost everything? The way we react to a situation so often depends upon the way it affects us personally. We aren’t to be blamed for this; yet we should stop to think that there are two sides to every story. We should not judge the merit of a viewpoint on whether or not it agrees with our own opinion. The Church is used to different viewpoints, to controversy. It has lived with changing times and opinions for centuries, and it has never been more involved than it is today. The Church is changing as change is needed, ever ready to investigate and to explore the new. Have you been keeping up with it? Why not get involved with your church or synogogue now?
