The Code of Virginia, 58.1-330, authorizes the retirement income tax credit. Page 10 in the “1984 Virginia Income Tax Forms” booklet describes how to determine whether or not you qualify for a credit against the tax that you owe, and if you do qualify, how much that credit will be. Many people who qualify for the tax credit do not apply for it, either because they misunderstand it, or are unaware of its availability. The average credit in 1982 was $118. • Host Families Needed Youth Exchange Service (YES) is asking American families to open their homes to carefully screened teenage students from all over the world, who are coming for a nine month program starting August, 1985 and attending local high schools.

Interested citizens may write him by addressing thenletters to Congressman French Slaughter, U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. 20515. Slaughter’s new telephone number in Washington is (202) 225-6561. • Coal Slurry Pipeline Bill Defeated On Januapr 24, Delegate Raymond “Andy” Guest, voted no on the Coal Slurry Pipeline bill along with 61 other delegates to defeat the bill 62 to 36. Del. Guest cited as one of the reasons for the no vote the enormous amount of letters he received opposing the legislation. Del. Guest also received many letters urging him to preserve the jobs of those working for the railroads. Any citizen can contact Del. Guest at (804) 786-7395, room 720, General Assembly Building, Richmond, Va. 23219 or at (703) 635-8822, at South Royal Avenue, Front Royal, Va. 22630. • Area Agencies Honor Robb On Tuesday, January 29, the Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging honored Governor Charles Robb and five members of the Virginia General Assembly for outstanding service to older Virginians. Before presenting certificates of recognition to the honorees, Association President Sallie Stemple Morgan commented that Virginia has made significant strides in planning for the support of its older citizens, but that many older persons still lack the resources, mobility, or good health to maintain their independence. Representatives of the 25 local Agencies on Aging in the state hope that recognition of particular examples of dedication to improving the lives of older Virginians will help foster even greater state commitment to meeting the needs of the elderly for affordable health care, in-home support services, employment opportunities and economic support. • Slaughter Introduces Bill Seventh District Congressman French Slaughter (R-Va.) has joined in introducing legislation to repeal new Internal Revenue Service tax reporting requirements related to the business use of automobiles. According to Slaughter, in a recent statement: “In my initial travels around our district, I’ve already received complaints about this matter from a number of people who are certain that the new IRS rules on business use of automobiles will impose much more burdensome recordkeeping on their shoulders on a daily basis. They are worried that even the most innocent slip-up in this daily record-keeping could subject them to fraud and negligence penalties.” Slaughter continued, “The IRS needs to recognize that there are many citizens for whom use of an automobile in the conduct of their business or employment is essential; they’ve long been accustomed to substantiating their tax deduction claims for mileage in full compliance with IRS regulations.” Waste Disposal Update ... Supervisors Visit Harrisonburg Plant By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer On January 23 three Supervisors - - Nelson Lane, Clarence Baldwin, and Richard Latham — along with Rex Lindstrom traveled to Harrisonburg, Va, to inspect its Resource Recovery Facility. The three Supervisors and Lindstrom had only good things to say about the Harrisonburg operation, which converts waste into energy (steam) and sells it to nearby James Madison University for heating and air conditioning purposes. “It was an impressive plant, well run and clean,” said Lane. “Everything about it made good common sense.” Lane added that “from 50 yards away, you’d never know it was a trash facility.” When asked if Rappahannock was near to making a deal with the city of Harrisonburg to use the plant, Lane became cautious, saying that right now we are only in a stage of general planning and discussion. Lane said there are other “ (waste disposal) units to be looked at.” But, said Lane, the real reason why Rappahannock is not prepared to enter immediately into an agreement with Harrisonburg is cost. “It is all very expensive,” he said. He admitted, .though, that any method of waste management is and will be very expensive. |—- T ogetherness —Rappahannock News Photo/Jon Kiaverkamp Two bulls eye each other over an afternoon snack. BZA Decides Hunt Club Appeal By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals during its meeting on Wednesday, January 23 upheld a decision made by Zoning Administrator David Konick that a landowner did not need a special use permit in order to lease his land to a hunt club. Konick's decision was appealed to the BZA by Richard H. Suib and other landowners in the area where land is leased to a hunt club. The BZA heard some arguments in the case involving Gordon E. Smith and the Trophy Hunt Club at its December meeting. Smith is a founder of the hunt club, and he leases his land in Bean Hollow off of Route 629 to the club. The basis of the appeal was that the use of land by a hunt club constituted a commercial use which would require a special use permit. The case was continued for a month to give the parties involved a chance to reach an agreement, but the agreement could not be finalized. Suib and the other appellants were represented last week by Frank Reynolds. Reynolds told the Board that his clients were disappointed that an agreement could not be reached, and that they were upset by the misunderstanding of their motives by persons at the December meeting. “Their intent all along has been merely to protect themselves, their children, their families, their property, and I guess you could say the peace and tranquility or quiet enjoyment of their property,” Reynolds said. “It has never been their intent to prohibit safe hunting in the county of Rappahannock.” Reasonable conditions for the protection of these interests were what Reynolds said his clients wanted. Suib outlined what these conditions would be. Suib said that he and the other property owners would want a shelter built of large packing crates that is located at the end of the private access road to be moved further away from two residences in the area. The other requests that Suib made were that there be a buffer zone of 100 yards from other landowners’ boundaries where no hunting would take place, no hunting on Sunday, that the hunters not fire downhill and that the hunters not pursue animals on the other owners’ properties. “We don’t want to be adversaries with Mr. Smith since we both own property up there we’re going to see each other from time to time, and there is no sense in being adversaries,” said Suib. “We just want our lives and property protected.” James C. Orr, another appellant, told the Board that he and his wife had had an experience with people taking target practice, and their bullets had come close to the Git’s weekend home. Orr said that that incident demonstrated that the forest cover would not stop all bullets fired in the direction of houses and other people. “It gives me no pleasure to be here today opposing what’s happened, but we have reason to fear for our safety and the safety of our children, friends and pets,” said Orr. Smith said that he formed the hunt club with safety in mind since with the club he would know who was hunting and when, and he could control the number of hunters. One of the concerns expressed by the other landowners was over the way Smith got members for the club. Smith advertised in a paper, and most of the members are not from Rappahannock County. Smith said that all of the hunters have to buy a Virginia hunting license, and that they are instructed about game and hunting laws, such as that it is illegal to fire in the direction of a house, at the time they get a license. He also said that the members of the club are familiarized with the land. Smith said that he objected to the condition of not firing downhill and the buffer zone condition. “I really don’t feel that I should be restricted in my movements as long as there is no illegal intent,” said Smith. Board member Peter Kramer asked Smith about the operation of the hunt club. Smith told the Board that he charges $100 per person, that the club is limited to gun hunters and to 30 members and that the club uses the land for approximately four months a year. The money he collects from the members’ dues, Smith said, goes towards maintaining roads and paying the property tax. One of the require Council Deals With Charter Problems In Special Session By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer The bill to create a new town charter for Washington has run into some problems in the General Assembly’s Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns. Those problems and their possible solutions were discussed by Washington’s Town Council in a special session on Thursday, January 24. The Council’s attorney, Doug Baumgardner, told Council members that he had spoken to Senator Kevin Miller, his legislative assistant, Delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest’s legislative assistant and to Clem Conner, committee counsellor. “It appears that there is a real problem with several provisions of the bill as it was originally submitted,” said Baumgardner. “The committee acknowledges that they have the power to vary some of the things that the Council is asking them to vary, but they do not like that practice.” Baumgardner told the Council that the provisions cited as being problem areas were the provision prohibiting any property tax in the town and the provisions giving Council the power to act as the town’s board of zoning appeals and planning commission. Baumgardner said that he had gotten conflicting views from the Senate side and the House side over the provision concerning the town treasurer. The Senate side questioned that the treasurer is a voting member of Council. “I explained that that is the way we had been doing it for years, and that it may go all the way back to 1894 for all we know,” said Baumgardner. He said that the House side had told him that they could accept that the treasurer is allowed to vote as long as a provision is inserted that the treasurer could be paid above what the other council members receive. The committee had also struck out a part of the charter bill that made valid all of the past actions of the Council in zoning matters. Baumgardner said that he objected to that since that could make variances issued by past councils to citizens of the town illegal, and that he had been told the language would be re-inserted in the bill. Three options that the Council could consider were listed by Baumgardner. He said that Council could send someone to Richmond to negotiate the points, withdraw the bill or authorize the changes in the bill that the4 committee wanted. “I would point out to you that to continue to rely on the 1894 charter is something that I would consider to be dangerous given the fact that it doesn’t include some essential powers,” said Baumgardner. i^ane s next step win oe to meet with the Assistant City Manager of Harrisonburg, John E. Driver, in an effort to work out the details of a possible arrangement between Rappahannock and Harrisonburg. Asked about the urgency of Rappahannock’s waste disposal dilemma, Lane said that the permit for our present landfill expires on June 30. He added, “I don’t think we can make that deadline...but we have to do something.” Lane did not rule out the possibility of landfilling as a means of waste disposal for Rappahannock. Supervisor Baldwin referred to a possible arrangement between Rappahannock and Harrisonburg, saying that right now “it is the most feasible way we could go.” What stands in the way, said Baldwin, is a long-term contract with the City of Harrisonburg. Baldwin .wd that Rappahannock’s landfill is running out and that “we need to do something right now.” Supervisor Latham, during the January 24 meeting of the Planning District 9 Commission (PD 9), informed the Board of his visit to the Harrisonburg plant and presented the notion of a joint-county arrangement with that facility. Latham summed up his presentation to the Board by saying that a waste-to-ener-gy facility such as Harrisonburg’s would “kill two birds with one stone - it would dispose of waste and create energy.” A combustion expert at the meeting raised an objection to the ideal picture of energy-conversion drawn by Latham. While admitting that the concept of energy-conversion was worthwhile, the expert cautioned that the “impact on the environment may be severe.” He cited the problems of pollution that accompany incineration. To this charge Latham responded by citing the availability of filters, which the Harrisonburg plant uses. Overall the Commissioners approved the waste-to-ehergy cbncept, but none were prepared to make a commitment to do anything about it. The (Continued on Page 5) ments for a land use to be found commercial is that the land is being used for a profit. Konick asked that the appeal be dismissed because he said that the evidence introduced by Reynolds was insufficient as a matter of law. Konick said that the letter of appeal was not written correctly because the letter did not state the reasons for the appeal. Reynolds said that the letter conformed to the guidelines in the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance. Board member Gregory Monihan said that if Konick’s argument was accepted that the appeal process would be made too complex for the average citizen who did not wish to hire a lawyer, and that the BZA was intended to be as accessible as possible to citizens. The Board voted to accept the appeal, and then moved on to the question of whether the use was commercial or (Continued on Page 5) “I think that it would be foolish not to get the charter bill passed for two reasons,” said Council member Newbill Miller. “One is what I feel to be the invalid nature of the existing charter, and number two is the lack of a specific boundary between Washington and Rappahannock County.” The charter bill includes a boundary agreement between the town and the county. The Council decided to consider each problem area individually to determine whether to accept the committee’s recommendations, to try to negotiate the points or to reject the changes. The recommended provision that would empower the Council to pay the town treasurer above the amount for other council members was accepted unanimously by the Council. The provision on property taxation had caused the biggest problem in the committee said Baumgardner. Baumgardner told the Council that the committee’s concern with the prohibition of a property tax for the town was over the binding nature of the provision on all future town councils. The Council approved a motion that if the committee will not allow the provision, then the repeal of the provision is accepted. The next provision the Council discontinued on Page 5)

Moldy corn kills 12 horses in Virginia By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat SUIT Writer Moldy corn poisoning has killed at least 12 horses in Virginia over the last two months and is suspected in four ■ other fatalities, according to veterinarians at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Blacksburg. The outbreak of the disease, which began in December, has prompted several commercial feed companies, both local and national, to remove the 1984 crop com from their feed mixes. “We think it will be best for our customers if we pull com from our manufactured horse feeds,” said Jeff Hurst, feed nutritionist for Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative Inc. which owns six feed stores in the Northern Piedmont area. “It’s (moldy com poisoning) getting close enough that I’m afraid we’ll get a bunch of complaints if we don’t. “I don’t feel that it’s a threat in this area. We’ve had no reports of any problems from our feed whatsoever. Iesb. if ft j Cowttfy’ Cutfoarls | (jenc L>vman J Ewell St. 253-5942 } | The Plains, Va. 22171 j \ Handmade & Distinctive | Custom Kitchens , Libraries | & formal Wall Paneling But we’re not going to recommend our customers feed corn, either.” Some local feed companies are still assessing the problem. “I haven’t heard any hard facts to substantiate the scare,” said Mel Whiteley, manager of McKimmey’s Feed in Leesburg. “We are still compiling information about it. We haven’t made a decision as far as changing our feeds. But we are alerting our customers to the problem and offering them alternatives to com.” Tri-County Feed in Marshall, which buys all of its com from Lancaster County, Pa., has also made no changes because of the disease. “I feel that the sources where we get our grain from are safe," says Bill Jackson, owner of Tri-County Feed. “We are keeping abreast of the problem, but are not changing anything we are doing with our feeds at present. If there is a problem with com I think the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services should be the ones informing us of what to do.” Last week the Southern States Co. of Richmond announced it would stop using com in its commercial horse feeds in response to the problem of moldy com poisoning reported in North Carolina and southern Virginia. The company said it would substitute oats and barley for the com in its feeds. Also last week Ralston-Purina Feed Co. of St. Louis, Mo., announced it would use new com supplies from areas known to be safe from the threat of the disease. “Any large commercial feed producer should definitely be concerned about moldy com poisoning since there is no means of predicting what samples of com might have the disease,” said Dr. Bill Ley, assistant professor of Wood Ranges Wood Heating Stoves Oil Heating Stoves Window Glass Weatherstrips Heat Tapes Colony Paints CENTRAL HARDWARE CO., INC. 172 E.

It is believed to be caused by a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium nwniliforme, a normally harmless fungus prevalent in both healthy and moldy com. “The toxin cannot be detected and is believed by scientists to be an as yet unidentified toxin,” said Dr. Ley.' News From Richmond By ANGIE MUSOLINO Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau — A House committee Tuesday gave its approval to a controversial bill that would make the use of seat belts mandatory in Virginia. The House Committee on Roads and Internal Navigation passed the bill 10-5. Dels. Kenneth B. Rollins (R-Fauquier/Loudoun) and Robert T. Andrews (R-Loudoun) were among the committee members who voted for the bill. Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Jr. (R-Fauquier/Clarke/Rappahannock/Warren), who is also on the committee, was not present. Del. Samuel J. Glasscock (D-Suffollj), the bill’s chief patron, told committee members that a state seat belt law could save up to 200 lives a year. “My feeling is that we should enact a law that fits Virginia,” Mr. Glasscock said. “This bill makes sense for our time and it can save an awful lot of tragedy.” The bill would require that drivers and front seat passengers wear seat belts or face a $25 fine. River bill clears House Another bill of Mr. Guest’s, one that would designate a portion of the Rappahannock River a scenic river under the Virginia Scenic Rivers Act, passed in the House, 99-0, Monday. Mr. Guest added an amendment to the bill last Friday that specifies the designation would only pertain to that portion of the river that flows through Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock and Stafford counties. Mr. Guest said he wanted to amend the bill to satisfy concerns expressed by officials in Spotsylvannia County that the “upstream restrictions would put a strain on their section of the river.” Victim impact bill A bill Sen. William E. Fears (DAccomac) said would “radically change” the state’s criminal sentencing procedure was sent back to a Senate committee Monday. The bill, introduced by Sen. A. Joe Canada Jr. (R-Virginia Beach), would give victims of crime the opportunity to tell how the experience has affected their lives. The victim would testify after the defendant has been convicted and at the request of the commonwealth’s attorney. The bill had already been passed on to a final reading by an overwhelming voice vote in the Senate Monday when Mr. Fears asked that the vote be reconsidered. “We’re radically changing the law of sentencing in the Commonwealth of Virginia,” Mr. Fears said. “I don’t like the bill itself. I guess it’s like speaking against motherhood, though.” He said the statements that would be heard from the victims would be those that could not have been introduced into the trial. By passing the bill, the legislature would be giving its approval to the use of hearsay evidence in criminal pro Moldy corn poisoning is characterized by mental depression, loss of appetite, circling, head pressing, blindness, convulsions and eventually death. It affects only horses; neither humans nor other domestic animals are harmed by the disease. The disease attacks the white matter, or nerve transmission area, of the horse’s brain. Degeneration of the cells occur eventually killing the animal. The brain must be autopsied to confirm death by the disease. In Virginia 12 fatalities have been confirmed by brain autopsies. Four other deaths are suspected to have General Assembly ceeedings, Mr. Fears said. “Maybe I’m crying wolf, I don’t know,” he said. “I just think we ought to take a real good look at this thing.” On a motion from Sen. William F. Parkerson Jr. (D-Henrico), the Senate voted to send the bill back to the Committee on Courts of Justice. House passes bow bill A bill that would create a bow hunters’ license passed in the House of Delegates by a large.margin Monday. The bill, introduced by Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. (R-Rappahannock/F auquier/Clarke/W arren), would require bow hunters to purchase special hunting licenses that are separate from those used by hunters who use guns. Card Shower Planned A birthday card shower is being planned for Delia North on Thursday, February 7.

All of the deaths have occurred in southern and south central Virginia. North Carolina has recorded almost 20 deaths, particularly around Wilson. The disease has also been reported in the south and mid-west. Researchers believe the toxin is produced in corn that starts off growing under very dry conditions but is harvested under moist conditions and is not allowed to dry properly before storage. “The toxin grows well in high moisture levels,” said Dr. Ley. Doctors at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine recommend that horse owners reduce the amount of com they feed to their horses and supplement com with other high-energy feeds such as oats or barley. Com screenings, which are often made up of cracked com and are more likely to harbor the disease, should be particularly avoided. Moldy com can also produce aflatoxins which are produced by a fungus called Aspergillus flavus. Com grown under stress conditions (drought and insect damage) or stored under conditions of high humidity and temperature, should be suspected of aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are readily detectable by the use of a black light to determine the level of molds. Several grain dealers and laboratories have the capability of running this test. The toxin that causes moldy com poisoning is not related to aflatoxin, according to Dr. Ley. t£PWEState Eileen M. Daft who* HOW MUCH FOR DOWN PAYMENT? If you’re ready to buy a house for the first time or want to trade up to a more expensive house in a more desirable location, one of your most important questions is, “How much should I offer for a down payment?” You may be better off in making as large a down payment as possible. For one thing, this means your monthly mortgage payments will be lower. For another, it means you’ll be in a better position to qualify for a loan. Something else to consider is just how much of your monthly income should be used for mortgage payments. Most people keep themselves in a comfortable financial position by limiting house payments to 20-25% of their monthly income. A lot will depend on your present status and future income prospects. Getting the house you want will also make a difference in whatever decision you make. Whatever your situation, discuss the fletails with us so we can help you buy the home you want under the most favorable financial conditions.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 31,1985 State Of The County Question: Is government in Rappahannock County working the way you think it should work? Does the system of government here work well, not at all, or somewhere in between? And are you satisfied with your understanding of the system, however it works. We at the Rappahannock News would like to hear your views on these issues. We often hear people complain that government does not include the People, that it does not allow for much citizen participation. Is this true? Or is it just an easy complaint, heard most often from those who are not really interested in participating anyway? Some say that government in Rappahannock is controlled by a few powerful people. This criticism is vague. It can mean that the county is run by a corrupt, self-interested few. Or it can mean the opposite: that the county is run by an energetic group of people, devoted to the cause of good government. So which is it in Rappahannock? Of course, criticism is an easy practice, especially with so large and convenient a target as government. Public officials are in the driver’s seat while we, the People, sit in the back seat. And everyone knows how easy it is to criticize from the back seat, where no mistake can be made. On the other hand, we all know how bad some drivers can be. They can deserve worse than criticism, namely a revoked license. Recently in Rappahannock groups of citizens, motivated by opposition to government, have emerged from the background to play a leading role in the management of county affairs. The Concerned Citizens of Rappahannock County (CCRC) is one such example, the signing of a petition by 1300 citizens opposing the lack of a provision in the proposed zoning ordinance is another. Does this type of activity by citizens indicate that government is, or is not, working? We encourage discussion — and letters to the editor — on the state of government in Rappahannock County. Is the system working as it should? What’s good about it, what’s bad? Let us know: This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 35 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Chapel was held on Friday, January 27. The third and fourth grades presented the program. The Rev. A. Paul Thompson conducted the devotional. The third grade presented “The Princess Who Never Laughed,” with Judy Hawkins portraying the princess. The fourth grade presented “Rumplestilkskin,” with Ned Atkins portraying a very realistic “Rumplestilkskin. ” 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS William F. Moffett, Jr. accompanied the Boy Scout group to Washington, D.C. Saturday for a sight seeing tour. They visited the Smithsonian Institute and other places of interest. The scouts who went on the trip were Tim Keating, Sam Snead, Roger Hawkins, Jimmie Jenkins, Page Moffett and Frank Moffett. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Senior Teresa A. Cordani, on the basis of her score in the homemaking knowledge and attitude test taken by senior girls Dec. 2, is Rappahannock County High School’s 1970 Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow, it has been announced. i 10YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Lynn Atkins of Flint Hill was awarded the trophy in the big game contest sponsored by the Rappahannock Fish and Game Club. 5 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Joyce Ann Menefee was honored with a surprise birthday party Sunday evening given by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Menefee of Washington. Cadet Gehringer In Finals Cadet-Lieutenant Bobby Dale Gehringer II, a Senior-Officer at Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal, has placed as a finalist in the E.B. Kennely four-year Scholarship Program at Erskine College in South Carolina. Gehringer was chosen a semi-finalist from 800 scholarship nominations from around the country and was interviewed on campus at Erskine College in December by a 55 member panel for the Honors Program. He was one of 24 finalists chosen to return to the campus. Gehringer is a senior at the Academy, and a member of of the Student Council (vice president elect), the National Honor Society, Student Advisory Committee, chairman of the Student Recommendation and Promotional Board, copy and lay-out editor for the school yearbook, captain of the varsity tennis team, past member of the school band and handbell choir, a member of the United States Achievement Academy National Awards for 1983 and was chosen for Who’s Who Among American High School Students for 1983-84. Gehringer is consistently on the President’s Lists for Academic Scholars for a 3.6 grade point average and above. He plans to further his education and pursue a career in medicine. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Gehringer of Flint Hill. -Our Rappahannock Heritage — Letters To The Editor Taxpayers’ Protest To the editor: In a recent issue of Parade Magazine, which some readers may have seen, columnist Jack Anderson issued “A Personal Appeal” to the American people entitled We Can Help End Government Waste. Anderson listed examples of waste in federal spending such as $387 washers and $37 screws which in the open market retail for pennies; such as civil service workers retiring eight years earlier and collecting triple the pension benefits of private workers; and so on and on. Anderson announced that he and industrialist J. Peter Grace (who headed up a Presidential commission that offered 2,478 distinct proposals to cut out $424 billion in federal waste over three years) had formed a new organization called Citizens Against Waste to make the authentic voice of American taxpayers heard over the din of the special interest claques. Both the Democrats and Republicans in Congress are trying to out-jaw each other on the subject of the annual budget deficit and the mushrooming national debt. But unless they get a massive protest directly from the American taxpayers they will not have the political courage to do anything really effective to stave off the nightmare which now threatens us, our children, and our grand-children. In the past four years, under a very conservative Administration, Congress has raised the national debt ceiling, on ten occasions, to an astronomical $1.5 trillion! If we continue on this road to the nightmare, the Grace Commission projects, on the basis of simple arithmetic, that in the nearby year of2000 we will have an annual deficit of $2 trillion and a national debt of $13 trillion! Two thirds of 1983’s deficit can be traced to the interest owed on previous debt. We borroWted largely to pay the finance charges on past borrowings. On current projections, somewhere during the next four years our nation will pass the point of no return, to find that it has not only lost control of its future, but also the power to recapture control. As the national debt rises, there will be less home construction, fewer jobs and careers, and, finally, the economy will simply stop. Impossible? Was it impossible for the city of New York to go bankrupt just because Mayor Lindsay said it was impossible? Was it impossible in the defeated Confederacy (including Rappahannock County) when the Confed erate government collapsed to leave its bonds and currency in the hands of Confederate citizens worthless pieces of paper? Will it be impossible in the day that the federal government in Washington is absolutely forced to default on its entire national debt, while the politicians tell the citizens that it is their “patriotic” duty to accept this nightmare of confiscation and start all over again from scratch, as the confederation had to do? This nightmare is still just a nightmare (although an imminent one) and Anderson and Grace are telling us that we can still collectively, as millions of citizens with votes, do something to avert it~spend 20 cents on a postage stamp and get our message to Washington right away while the politicians there are in a confused quandary this spring over what to do about the problem. Anderson and Ijrace ask us to put aside for a moment our careful and cunning little calculations as to whether we individually derive a net benefit from some federal program or subsidy and, for at least once, think of the total nightmare in the midst of which farm subsidies, Social Security COLA’s and the rest of the federal “goodies” must all disappear. They ask us to think of the children and grand-children we love, eWn if we expect to be dead before the roof falls in. Specifically, they ask us to sign and send to Citizens Against Waste, Dept. P, P.O. Box 1000, Ben Franklin Station, Washington, D.C. 20044 the following: Taxpayers’ Declaration; “As the owners of the U.S. Government, we protest the appalling waste of our money by those we entrust to spend it. We demand action, not more discussion, to stop the excessive and unnecessary squandering of government funds for foolish projects, wasteful programs, and inefficient operations. We want corrective measures taken against those in Congress and the federal bureaucracy who irresponsibly authorize and misspend tax dollars.” Signed and addressed. Let’s hear it from Rappahannock County; 1 agree with Grace and Anderson that such a Taxpayers’ Declaration signed by millions of Americans will get results. I hope that other readers of your newspaper also agree and will sign and forward this absolutely not partisan Declaration. Robert H. Eastham Thanks To Firefighters To the editor: On January 22 we discovered fire had broken out under our kitchen floor. It was so bitterly cold with no water and absolutely no phone service so you can imagine how helpless we felt! We had to drive to our nearest neighbor to phone for services, and our wonderful Washington Volunteer Fire Department quickly arrived and work ing so diligently, extinguished the flames before they enveloped the entire home. We want to express our sincere thanks to the Fire Company, our many friends and neighbors who came to us in our hour of need. What a blessing to have such good, kind people!

To order, contact any sixth or seventh grader, or call Lynne Baines at 675-3253. -From Both BarrelsConservative Dilemma By GEORGE BOWLES Virginia politicians are said to be congenitally attuned to the twists, turns, and dangers inherent in the framing of public fiscal policy, whether it is done by the White House, the state legislature or by the local Board of Supervisors. They are also said to be able to sniff out, like a coon dog on the trail, any federal financial shenanigans which might redound to the disadvantage of the Old Dominion. This being the case, they should consider for a moment the president’s second inaugural address last week and the other statements of fiscal goals and policies which have been coming out of the nation’s capital in recent days. There was, to be sure, much in the speech and in those policies for conservative Virginians to applaud, but they also contain storm warnings for the states as bone-chilling as the weather which gripped Washington on that icy Inauguration Day. The second Reagan administration is under way amid a cheery windfall of favorable statistics from the nation’s fabled economic indicators. Inflation is down, interest rates are high but more or less steady, the gross national product is soaring and unemployment is declining. What more could the jubilant Reaganauts ask for as the president’s new term begins? The only cloud hanging over Mr. Reagan’s “shining city on a hill,” as he likes to call the Republic in his rhetorical flourishes, is the gargantuan deficit his administration is running up. This year’s red ink spending will be in the $200 billion range, about three times that in Jimmy Carter’s worst year. And Mr. Reagan, that most conservative of presidents, will have succeeded in doubling the combined national debt incurred by all of his 39 predecessors in just five short years. But in Virginia, and particularly in Virginia’s government, we care a great deal about balanced books. For years our lawmakers have been required by law to keep the Commonwealth’s spending in the black, and the first of this year that requirement became a part of the State Constitution. Indeed, we in Virginia have always been more than a bit smug about the way we have handled our public fiscal affairs. Since the memory of our people runneth not to the contrary we have chided the federal government about its profligate ways. Our politicians have built careers out of campaigning against federal spending and solemn pledges to, if elected, carry Virginia’s “sound fiscal thinking” to Washington. But Mr. Reagan has pledged to do something about the deficit. A sweeping series of econ omy cuts across the board is designed to trim the budget for this fiscal year by $50 billion, thereby reducing the flood of red ink. Further, a spending freeze has been decreed. Now this should bring cheers and huzzahs from economy-conscious Virginians. Right? Well, not necessarily. It all depends on where the cuts are made and, in truth, the president’s options are limited. Certain areas, such as interest on the national debt, entitlement programs, defense, and others are either limited as potential subjects for trimming, or are out of bounds altogether. One area, however, is emphatically not out of bounds. That area is federal aid to the states, and it is one which almost certainly will be an inviting target when the time comes to wield the economy axe. How much do the states, including conservative Virginia, rely on federal aid? They rely on it to a degree which most of our citizens would regard as shocking. Of Virginia’s nearly $16 billion appropriated for the present biennium, more than 30 percent—a whopping $5 billion—comes from the federal government! It is an astonishing figure, and any substantial reduction in this federal allocation could knock the Commonwealth’s delicately balanced budget, as well as Gov. Chuck Robb’s cherished hope of avoiding tax increases, into a cocked hat. The melancholy fact is that any significant efforts to reduce the federal deficit would mean loading additional financial burdens on the states, where services would either have to be slashed or taxes raised in order to cover the passed-down costs. It’s the kind of thing our fiscal conservatives don’t like to hear, but Virginia owes at least a part of its cash-on-the-barrelhead fiscal “soundness” to the ballooning national debt and Uncle Sam’s red ink spending. The president’s efforts to deflate that balloon will no doubt make his administration look good and, to be sure, it may be good from the standpoint of the long-term economic health of the country. But make no mistake about it. There will be pain, both political and real, at the state and local levels of government when President Reagan’s high-flying chickens come home to roost in Mr. Jefferson’s Capitol and the other statehouses around the land. The dismal choice between loving federal deficits or being willing to shoulder the costs—including possible new taxes—required to help bring them down is almost too cruel for soundthinking Virginia conservatives to contemplate. But it’s one we’re all stuck with as Reel II of the Reagan Saga begins.

BZA (Continued from Page 1 ) not. Chairman Lee Bird advised the Board that the Planning Commission had decided that the hunt club appeal was not a zoning issue. Reynolds argued that Smith had gotten a profit from leasing a partial use of the land for a part of the year, and that Smith had said that he leased the land to the hunt club to earn money for expenses. Reynolds said that that excluded the use of Smith’s land from the protection of the ordinance which states that noncommercial recreational use of land is a right. Konick told the Board that their decision in the matter could affect other hunt clubs in the area, and would mean that every landowner would have to have a special use permit to lease their land to a club. “I think that that would have a detrimental effect on the cause of zoning in the county,” said Konick. Reynolds said that the Board was just being asked to rule on the one case. Kramer said that in his view a hunter who paid money to hunt would think that he or she had more rights than a non hunt club member, and that would push the land use more towards a commercial use. Board member James Swindler replied that the club is not open to the public, and that made the use non-commercial. Chairman Bird said that he understood the concerns of the adjacent landowners, and that they have every right Update (Continued from Page 1 ) final action taken by the Planning District 9 Commissioners at their January 24 meeting was to leave the idea open for future consideration. Reached by phone, Bob Schwartz, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, said the regional approach was a “good idea” but that it was “not feasible in the foreseeable future.” His reason: A rural area, such as PD 9, doesn’t produce the volume of waste necessary to create enough energy to make a waste-to-energy facility worthwhile. Schwartz also ruled out the possibility of a regional landfill, centrally located. He said it would not be feasible to haul trash such great distances. Referring to Latham’s presentation, Schwartz said “Dick (Latham) is right, we’ve got to do something with trash other than bury it.” He cited the high cost and problems of space involved in landfills. But again he noted that, at the moment, no better alternative to a landfill exists for a rural area. Schwartz made one concession to the regional approach. He welcomed the idea of a mobile tire-shredder to be used by the five counties of Planning District 9. In concluding that a landfill is the most practical means of waste disposal for PD 9 counties, Schwartz concurs with a 1982 study entitled Regional Solid Waste Management Plan, prepared by the Planning District Commission. The study was distributed at the January 24 PD 9 meeting; a section of its conclusion reads “Despite the abundance and attractiveness of solid waste disposal systems in operation today, landfilling remains the best technique for PD 9 localities in the foreseeable future. Environmentally, there is an abundant availability of acceptable land for landfills in the District. There is not enough waste production and there is a lack of available markets to support energy recovery and incineration systems.” Harrisonburg Alternative John Holsten, Superintendent of the Harrisonburg plant, said in a phone interview that the “ball is in their (the supervisors) court. As far as he knew, Holsten said the only obstacle facing Rappahannock is the cost of trucking the trash to Harrisonburg. The supervisors have yet to determine this cost, so no further discusions have taken place between them and City of Harrisonburg. Holsten said the one cost to Rappahanncok other than trucking would be a “tipping fee”, which is a charge applied to each ton of trash dumped at the plant. To make a potential deal more attractive, Holsten is willing to lower the dumping charge depending on the size of trucking costs to Rappahannock. He said the tipping fee would be anywhere from $0-5 per ton of waste. Aside from trucking costs, the Supervisors worry about Harrisonburg’s unwillingness to assure Rappahannock of year-round service. The problem is that during the summer months James Madison University doesn’t need the steam that it normally buys from the plant, leaving an excess of energy. Thus the Supervisors have feared the prospect of having to make other waste disposal arrangements for three months out of the year. But, according to Holsten, that problem is exaggerated. “Depending on the volume of trash (not to exceed 6 - 10 tons per day), said Holsten, “we « (the plant) could accept trash yearround. Actually, he said he probably could only guarantee acceptance of Rappahannock’s trash 11 months out of the year. He would need to reserve the option to divert Rappahannock’s trash one month out of the year for maintenance purposes. The Board of Supervisors will further review waste disposal options at its next regular meeting, February 4. to expect that the hunters on Smith’s property will exercise every precaution. Bird also said that he hoped that the parties could reach an agreement that would reassure the landowners. The Board voted to uphold Konick’s decision and allow Smith to lease his land to the club without a special use permit. The vote-was 3-1 with Kramer casting the negative vote. The Board also approved three separate special use permits during their meeting. One of the permits was granted for Florence H. Cover to build a one bedroom guest cottage on her 8.1 acre lot in Amissville. Cover already has a three bedroom house on the lot. The vote was 3-1 with Kramer casting the negative vote because he thought that the ordinance and the comprehensive plan required a larger lot size for two dwellings. The Board approved the permit with the conditions that existing tree screening around the lot be maintained, and that the house be limited to one bedroom with a total area of around 900 feet. The Board unanimously approved a special use permit for Thomas R. Baldwin, Sr. to display up to five used cars in front of his service station on Route 211. A permit was unanimously approved for Birgitt K. Thornhill to operate a bed and breakfast in Woodville with the condition that the highway department submits a study of the safety of entering and exiting the business on Route 522. Charter Problems The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “ The Home Of Thoughtful Service” Phone 825-2361 Culpeper :emetefy memorials (Continued from Page 1.) cussed was the provision that the council could act as a town board of zoning appeals. “I don’t think that they will yield on that one because the BZA is an arm of the court,” said Miller. Council voted to accede to the wishes of the committee to delete that section of the charter. The Council’s power to act as a town planning commission was a provision that Council did not want to give up as easily. A motion was made and approved to attempt to negotiate on the issue, and it negotiation is impossi ble then the provision will be dropped. Miller was appointed to handle the negotiations with the committee. Council member Bill Wickens raised a question about the advisability of talking to the Senate side as well as the House side on the charter. The bill is currently in a House committee. Miller said that he would discuss the charter with Senator Miller and ask him to keep track of the bill. The Council also considered how the utility and telephone taxes paid by town residents could be obtained for the town instead of being paid to the county.

The regulation is that in order to collect the taxes, a municipality must provide water or sewer service and polite or fire protection. The town already provides water service, but does not provide either police or fire protection. Mayor Peter Kramer said that he would research the possibilities of hiring a town constable before the Council’s next meeting in February. DENTURES .WORTH SMILING ABOUT.

Wins Award By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer David Norris of Haymarket won second place in the oratorical contest sponsored by the Sons of the American Revolution. Norris, a sophomore at Wakefield School, delivered a five minute speech from memory entitled, “Cowpens and the Relevance of Military Strategy.” Cowpens, a battle fought against the British in the American Revolution, was won, some historians feel, because the American general used the military strategy of ancient Greece and Rome. Norris went on to note that unfortunately neither the service academies nor the armed services require courses in military history and strategy any longer.

RCHS Volleyball Team Wins First Matclies By JANE BANGLEY appahannock News Staff Writer Last year w as the first year of volleyball at Rappahannock County High School, and the team did not win any matches. This year’s season began by looking ominously the same as last year when RCHS lost their season open to Stonewall Jackson earlier this mnnt*1 The team broke their record, th Th, with tw'o wins over George Mason on Wednesday, January 23. The teams played a double header in order to make up a previously cancelled match between the two schools. Rappahannock took both matches in straight games by scores of 15-13, 15-8, 15-13 and 15-5. This is Coach Carol Nowakoski’s first year with the volleyball team, and she was understandably pleased with the team’s performance in the matches. "We started practicing about the middle of November and then we had a long Christmas break before our first match,” Nowakoski said. “It’s kind of hard to keep the momentum up when there is such a long time of practice before the first game.” Nowakoski said that she learned a lot from the first game about the rules of volleyball, and how to substitute players effectively. “The girls are learning that they can win, and they are improving,” Nowakoski said. “Hopefully we can keep playing as well as we did today.” Rappahannock will have seven more matches to play before the district tournament in February. “My first goal for the year was to win more matches than last year, and we’ve already done that,” said Nowakoski. “Now my goal is for the team to be first in the district and to win the tournament.” Send a love message by these little birds to that special person for only $2.00!

Her sails are “fighting” the wind, turning its energy to a contradictory course. The unseen hero in this drama is a keel weighing tons. Without it the Albatross couldn’t even carry her rigging, let alone face sea and wind. . Her keel is the counterbalance to all shifting forces. Faith serves exactly this function during one’s voyage through life. The person whose beliefs are firm can hold a true course when the winds of circumstance drive others to and fro. A person stands up to forces that would otherwise capsize them. They use them constructively to reach their destiny. The first thing people do in building a ship is to lay the keel. In the building of human society our churches and our church schools are involved in that essential first step — the planting of FAITH.
