The time between February and June is always filled with controversy, and this year was no different. Now the effects of what was done with the budget can be assessed as preparations for a new school year begin. The major activity at the school board since before the end of the past school year has been teacher recruitment. Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell said that there have been 15 teacher resignations so far, and that some contracts have not been returned. “We have people move on for various reasons, not jus. because of dissatisfaction with the system and not wanting to stay,” Campbell said. “Recruitment is going very well, but we still have some positions open. ” He said that it has become more difficult to find teachers in the past few years, which is due in part to the in Landfill Likely To Last A Year Robert H. Forman, a consultant with the Health Department, estimates that Rappahannock’s landfill will reach capacity in 10 to 14 months. Forman made the estimate in a letter he sent to Ruth Updike of Community Trash Service, the company that runs Rappahannock’s landfill. The Supervisors reviewed copies of Forman’s letter in their regular meeting July 1. While inspecting the landfill June 19, Forman and Updike’s husband dug a 5-foot wide, 30-foot long, 5-foot deep trench to examine soils. The excavation showed 10 inches of top soil, followed by 3 and 1/2 feet of brown clay, “followed by a sandy silt type soil that was blackish in color with a very slight odor.” In his letter, Forman advises Updike to have an expert determine what the black silt is. Forman did not know whether or not the silt was hazardous. But he told Updike that if the silt is found to be a problem, then she should have a consultant develop a plan to control it. Reached by phone, Updike reported that an engineer from a Culpeper company, Environmental Systems Services, evaluated the black silt and declare^ Ato be harmless. Updike said that Et^^onmental Systems would send her a letter to confirm the finding. She said she would then forward the letter to Rappahannock’s supervisors. Carnival Underway The Annual Sperryville Fire Department Carnival started on Wednesday July 10 and will run until July 13. The parade will begin tonight at 7 p.m. in the town of Sperryville and will include fire and rescue squads, floats and bands. The contestant who has sold the most tickets for the carnival will be crowned queen on Friday at 10 p.m. and will receive a prize of $100. The grand prizes will be given away on Saturday night. The first prize will be $1,000 and five prizes of $100 will be awarded. Chester Gap The Annual Chester Gap Carnival will be held from July 17 to 20, and all rides will start at 7 p.m. Wednesday night will be family night, and rides can be ridden all night long for only $3. On Thursday night, the Royal Tones will be performing from 8-9 p.m. and 10-11 p.m. The Mistic Sound will perform on Friday night from 8-9 p.m. and 10-11 p.m. The honorary fire chief will be crowned on Saturday night at 10 p.m. At 12 a.m., the grand prizes will be given away. The first prize is a 3-wheeler, second is $50, and third is $25. creasing competition between school divisions for teaching talent. “Before, we could sit back and wait for the applications to come in,” Campbell said. “Now we have to actively seek out applicants.” The first step in the search ‘for teachers is to contact as many college placement offices as possible, Campbell said. “This year, we contacted 120.” The school divisions in the area also cooperate by sharing applications. If a division does not have an opening in a particular fi >ld, but does have an applicant, thon tne application is sent to a division that does have a position available. Campbell said that the division does advertise positions in newspapers, but only rarely. Once applications are received, the interviewing process begins. “During the interview, we try to look into the person’s interests to determine whether he or she will fit in here,” Campbell said. “If they like the outdoors and wildlife, and they identify with traditional family values, then Rappahannock is a paradise. “We tell them honestly about Rap pahannock so that they know what to expect.” Salary information is a part of what every prospective teacher wants to know about before deciding whether or not to come to Rappahannock. Salary is also a factor in a teacher’s decision about whether or not to stay in Rappahannock. “Budget t’i is a very emotionally charged time when there’s a lot of stress on everyone,” Campbell said. “It’s not easy for anyone who has to decide what stays and what goes, and the teachers feel the stress, too.” The stress has affected each teacher’s morale and tho'1'-’ ibout the future in different ways. Don Bomberger, a high school teacher in Rappahannock for 12 years, has decided to leave teaching when he finds another job as a direct result of the budget’s failure to meet the Rappahannock County Education Association’s teacher salary requests. “I’ve decided to spend the summer researching other job opportunities, and if I find something I like and think I will enjoy, I’ll go after it,” Bomberger said. “I’ve enjoyed teaching all of these years, but there comes a time when your family becomes more important than your personal enjoyment. You have to draw the line somewhere.” For Bomberger, the line was drawn when the board of supervisors cut $120,000 from the budget proposed by the school board. “If the supervisors had come through with the budget proposed by the board, I would have stayed because I would have felt that somewhere down the line the salaries would come in line with the surrounding counties,” Bomberger °aid. “When the supervisors threw tha. budget out of the window, I felt demoralized and I felt that nothing was ever going to change.” He said that he began teaching, not to make money, but because he thought he would enjoy it. “With my mathematics background, I’ve been told I could do better so, rather than just break from Rappahannock, I’m changing careers,” Bomberger said. “I’m going to make use of my talents, (Continued on Page 14) FIREWORKS AND GUNFIRE — Washington’s Fourth of July celebration featured a brilliant display of Fireworks as well as a reenactment of a revolutionary war battle.

Deadline Set For Requests By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority approved a motion during its meeting on Wednesday, July 3 to accept written requests until August 9 from those land owners whose property is not presently part of the Sperryville Sewage System plan and who want their property included. At the authority’s last meeting, three such requests were made. Two requests were submitted by owners whose properties were “overlooked” or left off of the final plan, and one request was for a new development. The written requests for sewage service hook-ups should include an explanation of and justification for the request. Each request will then be ranked in a suggested order of priority by the engineer, Hank Gerhart of Buchart-Hom, Inc., using such criteria as whether or not the property has direct sewage discharge into the Thornton River and the location of the property in relation to the service area. The authority’s decisions on the requests will be reviewed by the State Water Control Board. Authority members Carson Johnson and Donald Gore 1 questioned the motion before its approval. “I have a real problem with this motion because my understanding was that it was a mandated clean-up program in a problem area designated by the health department,” Johnson said. “The property owners in that area weren’t asked whether or not they wanted to be on the system, they were just supposed to be on. ” Authority Chairman Bob Dennis said that the system was mandated, but that there are some properties that should have been included and they are not on the plan. “I think that the authority can put on the priority list for additional hook-ups properties that we identify that aren’t on the plan and we don’t understand why they’re not,” Dennis said. “The plan that has been approved by the State Health Department and the State Water Control Board, which is tied back into the federal grant mechanism and we are told that it is a very rigid system and we can build only those facilities in effect that have been approved, that plan turns out to have left out some folks who think they ought to be on, and we can’t point fingers as to why they’re off because the point is they’re not on.” Dennis said that the planning process for the system has lasted for a long time. During that time, when engineering surveys were taken, there were unoccupied buildings in the service area that no one thought would be occupied again, but the buildings are occupied now. “There were some people who apparently didn’t want to be on the system, and maybe because of what they did actually ended up not being on the system, who are now changing their minds,” Dennis said. He said that the authority is receiving requests for service to vacant lots, too. “Under the grant program, which goes back to the federal clean water act of 1972 as amended in 1977, we cannot provide service with grant funds to a vacant lot,” Dennis said. “However, we’ll have a motion later on to ask the engineer to try to come up with an interim fee schedule for people who want to have service put in to vacant lots this summer to get it done, but they’re going to have to pay for it.” Exemption Requests A second motion was approved that set the authority’s policy for dealing with people who request exemption (Continued on Page 5) Rappahannock News Photo/Jon klavertamp MARY SUE TERRY says she is more qualified than her opponent for the office of attorney general. Mary Sue Terry Attorney General Candidate Stresses Qualifications By JON KLAVERKAMP Rappahannock News Staff Writer Mary Sue Terry’s decision on March 5 to enter the race for the Democratic nomination for attorney general was not a light one. In an interview in Rappahannock County on Monday, long after she had sealed up the Democratic nomination, Terry said she is putting a lot on the line, namely “eight years seniority in the General Assembly and four major committee assignments.” Sitting in the Rappahannock News office with press aides waiting outside to wisk her to a news office in Madison County, Terry seemed comfortable with her gamble to become the first female attorney general in Virginia’s history. Her comfort derives from the confidence she has in her qualifications, which she claims are superior to her opponent’s qualifications. W.R. (Buster) O’Brien is the Republican candidate for attorney general. Terry, 37, a Patrick County lawyer, touts her experience as a prosecuter and, among other things, her involvement in the fight to prevent drunk driving. This year she was the chief House patron of legislation that raised the drinking age to 21. Asked about the position she seeks, Terry said it is the job of an attorney general to utilize the state’s legal resources to their maximum potential. She can state in one sentence what her agenda as attorney general would be: “...to enact laws that promote a sound business climate, to provide greater protection of persons and property, to give greater consideration to the victims and witnesses of crimes, and to provide safer streets.” More specifically, what does Terry want to do as the state’s top law enforcement officer? She did not want to disclose too much. “We will j (Continued on Page 51 Present Textbook Fees Retained Textbook fees at the elementary and high schools will remain at their present levels for the 1985-86 school year although the Rappahannock School Board will have to find funds to subsidize the elementary book program.

High school Principal Robert Chappel did not recommend a change in the fee of $4 per text. r “We have to start building these fees into the budget because v.e can't continue to do this," said board member Nancy Reeves. She asked Superintendent Robert Estabrook if there was any way to keep the fees at the lower levels. “We could reassign money in our 1985-86 budget to help subsidize text books,” Estabrook said. Estabrook used Piper’s projected enrollment of 574 students at the elementary school to determine that an additional $1,71112 would be needed if the present text book fees were to remain in effect. (Continued on 1 'aye .'!) Fletcher’s Recipes On NBC Mrs. W.M. Fletcher, better known as Mattie Ball, added some Rappahannock flavor to NBC’s Today Show on Friday, July 5 when information on her and her recipes were used during a feature on a new cookbook. Mrs. Fletcher lives in Washington. The book, An American Folklife Cookbook by Joan Nathan, was published in 1984 by Schocken Books in New York. The book includes a biographical sketch of Mrs. Fletcher with 13 of her recipes. Mrs. Fletcher said she knew information on her was to be used on the program, but she did not watch since she has never had a television. Mrs. Virginia Lindstrom, another Washington resident, said that the feature on Mrs. Fletcher began just before 8 a.m., and that they used a picture of her from the book. “They told a little bit about her and the book, and then they talked about parsnip wine," Mrs. Lindstrom said. Mrs. Fletcher’s recipes do not include parsnip wine, but she had sent a bottle that a friend made to the book’s author. “The man on the program had a sip of the wane, and he said ‘Gee, this is good,”’ Mrs. Lindstrom said. Mrs. Fletcher was not overly impressed by the national attention. “I was never in the public eye when I was young, and I don’t see any need to be in the public eye now,” Mrs. Fletcher said.

General District Court Jamps Robert Brady was found guilty of driving while intoxicated and was certified as an habitual offender after a preliminary hearing during Tuesday’s General District Court. Brady, who was represented by Doug Baumgardner, pled not guilty to the DWI charge. Both charges stemmed from incidents on May 22, 1985 when Trooper H.A. Newlin saw Brady sitting in a truck in a yard on Route 522. Trooper Newlin testified that he knew that Brady had been declared an habitual offender, so he turned around to determine if Brady intended to drive on the road. After being declared an habitual offender, a person loses his or her privilege to drive for 10 years, and if caught driving during that period, is sentenced to a year in jail. Trooper Newlin said that he had turned around a second time to go back past the residence when Brady passed him in the truck. Trooper Newlin turned to follow, and Brady pulled onto a dirt road leading to a field. “The vehicle stopped at the gate to the field, and I saw Mr. Brady get out of the driver’s side of the truck and he ran into the woods,” Trooper Newlin said. At that time, Trooper Newlin called for assistance, and Brady was found about 45 minutes later after being tracked by another trooper’s dog. Trooper Newlin then placed Brady under arrest for driving after having been declared an habitual offender and for DWI after he noticed the odor of alcohol around Brady and that there was an open can of beer in the truck. Brady’s blood alcohol level registered at .11. A person is judged legally intoxicated when the level is .01 or above. Baumgardner said that no evidence had been presented that Brady had not had anything to drink while he was in the woods before his arrest. Judge John Alexander said that there were no beer halls in the woods and that Brady had left an open beer in the truck when he ran from Trooper Newlin. Judge Alexander then found Brady guilty of DWI and certified the habitual offender charge. A circuit court grand jury will receive the certification and will decide whether or not to return an indictment. Judge Alexander fined Brady $200 in addition to $20 costs, sentenced him to 10 days in jail and suspended his operator’s license for an additional six months. Baumgardner asked that the cash bond amount of $10,000 for Brady, set by the magistrate, be reduced. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that the high bond had been set because the magistrate feared for the public’s safety. “He (Brady) was just indicted yesterday for another habitual offender ruling, and this court has just certified another habitual offender charge against him,” Luke said. “He can’t control himself enough not to get behind the wheel when he’s drunk.” Judge Alexander, saying that $10,000 was a heavy bond, reduced the bond to $2,500. Brady will appeal the DWI conviction. Other cases decided Tuesi ay included: Milbum G. Warfield, DWI, no helmet, continued to August 13. Isaac Abraham, 71/55, $32/$20. Frederick K.

Sheriffs Department Switches To Blue Lights The Rappahannock Sheriffs Department vehicles now have blue emergency lights instead of red. The change was made in response to a law passed by the General Assembly during its last session. The law requires that all law enforcement vehicles in Virginia be equipped with blue or a combination of red and blue flashing lights. The law went into effect on July 1, but agencies, such as the State Police, have until 1990 to comply. According to a Virginia Department of Emergency Services press release, the law was enacted to improve law enforcement vehicle identification and uniformity since most states bordering Virginia already use the blue lights. Fire and resuce vehicles will continue to use red lights. The Sheriff Department vehicles have the blue flashing light on top, but will continue to have red flashing lights in the cars’ grills. Sheriff John H. Woodward said that he expects the change to help his deputies stop motorists. “Sometimes we have a hard time getting people to stop, especially if they’re from out of state, and they always say that they’re used to seeing blue lights on police vehicles,” Sheriff Woodward said. He said that there is also a problem in the county with motorists who do pot yield the right of wray to oncoming emergency vehicles. All operators of vehicles are required by the Code of Virginia to get as close to the right hand edge of the road before stopping to allow an emergency vehicle with its siren and flashing lights in use. Violators of the law can be charged with failure to yield the right of way. Operators of emergency vehicles have the right to break the speed limit or other traffic laws, with due regard for safety, when using the vehicle’s siren and flashing lights on emergency calls. Sheriff Woodward said that he welcomes comments from those who think that a Sheriff Department vehicle has been operated in an unsafe manner.

Bernardo was indicted on two charges of manufacturing marijuana not intended for his own use, one charge of conspiring to sell more than five pounds of marijuana and a charge of possession of marijuana with the intent to manufacture the same not for his own use. • Playground Improvements The Rappahannock County Elementary School Student Parent Teacher Association will be working on the school playground again on Saturday, July 20, and is inviting all interested parents, teachers and students to help with the project. The playground committee is encouraged about its accomplishments during five workdays this spring. With the help of a dozen interested parents, the committee has painted several pieces of equipment, hung new swings, spread ground cover around areas that tend to stay muddy, refinished the slide, planted two trees and scraped the dome in preparation for re-painting. There is still plenty of work to be done, and the committee is looking for new volunteers. There are trees to plant, more equipment to paint, a hopscotch court to paint and several items to build and assemble: a playground equipment storage box, seesaws and a new multi-purpose piece of play equipment. The workday begins at 9 a.m., and volunteers are needed for any length of time they can help. Another workday is scheduled for Saturday, August 17.

Three Wakefield faculty i mbers will offer courses in British lil ature, British history, European his y and tutorials in Latin and Frenj to 30 Wakefield students who havenrolled in the five week summer pgram. Taught on two levels, the copes are open to students in grades sep to 12, with an academic credit to be farded. The Wakefield-in-Engld program will have full use of thjacilities of the Seale-Hayne College^cluding dormitory, refectory, comip room, classrooms, library, compijr room, playing fields, tennis courtjnd pool. The college is located in sqic South Devon midway between th^artmoor and the English Channel, fte cathedral city of Exeter is onj 14 miles away.

Gifted and Talented Pam Rowe, special services coordinator, reported to the board that the gifted and talented screening committee at the elementary school had held a special meeting to identify specific academic ability criteria for children in kindergarten through the fourth grade. Rowe said that the committee had determined that enough information was available to make identifications of students based on language arts and math in grades kindergarten through three. In those grades, 12 students were nominated for the gifted and talented program from kindergarten, 10 from the first grade, 9 from grade two and three from the third grade. Nominations for the program from the fourth grade were based on information about a student’s ability in language arts, math, science and social studies. Rowe said that 12 fourth graders were nominated by the committee. Rowe also reported on the upcoming summer computer camp to be held from July 29 to August 9 at the elementary school. The sessions will be open to all rising fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students, and the deadline for registration is July 16. The sessions will be free and will include introductory and advanced wordprocessing and programming information. Teacher Evaluation Estabrook asked the board for its decision on the new requirements for certified personnel evaluations during the meeting. Board member Paul Nichols asked about the use of the evaluations. “Are the evaluations of new teachers used to really go after a teacher or to be on a one to one level with them and help them,” Nichols asked. Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell said that the purpose of the evaluations of all teachers is the improvement of instruction. “It wouldn’t make much sense to hire a teacher and then turn around and get rid of him or her,” Campbell said. “We do have high expectations and standards, but it wouldn’t serve our purposes to be condescending.” He said that any criticism is constructive with suggestions for improvement. “I believe that teachers are evaluated everyday by their students,” Nichols said. Estabrook said that the evaluations help the administration to fulfill its obligation to the students by making sure that all of the teachers are performing at acceptable levels. In another teacher-related matter, Estabrook gave the board members information on how much a sabbatical leave for teachers at various points on the pay index scale would cost. The budget has $15,000 in the line item for sabbatical leaves and tuition assistance. Estabrook raised a concern that that money many not be enough to adequately fund a sabbatical for a teacher at the upper level on the index. The board tabled a decision on the sabbatical information until its next meeting when Estabrook will present his recommendation. Other Business In other business, Estabrook advised the board that specifications for the re-roofing work at the high school will have to be drawn up. The board also accepted a bid of $23,687 per bus for two new school buses from Salem Equipment Company of Salem, Va. The budgeted funds for the buses falls short of that bid by $940, and Estabrook said that he would try to find the $940 by moving funds from other budget line items. jor excursions, offers students an unusually good opportunity to study and travel in Europe.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation k. THURSDAY, JULY 11,1985 Discussion Needed The aftermath of the school budget controversy is like the aftermath of a fire: the flames are out but the smoldering continues. People who have lived in the county a long time say it does not take much to rekindle the controversy over schools and taxes. Really all it takes is for budget time to roll around again. And then, sure enough, the issues of education and taxes burn again. Rather than simply wait for the controversy to return again and again, why not hold a county conference on the future of Rappahannock’s school system? Talks could center on! 1) how to fund education through fair taxation, and 2) how to provide for the educational needs of students. Discussion of the latter topic should focus on the crucial role of education today. Nowadays there are very few careers that do not require a high level of schooling. The purpose of a conference would be to get people talking about schools and taxes while these issues are not in the throes of controversy. Better solutions may result if the problems are discussed during the off-season, so to speak. The problem of how to raise enough revenue for schools without breaking the backs of taxpayers will not fade away, much as we would like it to. The issues have to be faced. We would appreciate comments from people on the idea of holding a conference on the future of Rappahannock’s school system. The controversy will come again next year. Let’s do something about it before then. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 35 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS John Turner, 13 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Turner received the first prize in a shooting gallery contest which was held on July 13 during the carnival at “Meadowbrook Farm.” 22 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Cletus Clark killed a timber rattlesnake, which had 12 rattles and a button, while working between Sperryville and Panorama with a highway crew. This is the second one Clark has killed since he has been employed with the Highway Dept. 19 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Danny Hitt of Amissville and Stewart Hawkins of Washington left for Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, N.M. They joined about 30 other Scouts for the trip. When they arrived at Philmont they began a 12-day experience which included hiking and camping, fishing, horseback riding. On the return trip they visited other sights of interest. 17 YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS Boy Scout Troop No. 36 of Flint Hill spent a week at Camp Rock Enon, Gore, Va. The group included five boys and their leaders were Jonas Alther and Paul Nichols. While there the group enjoyed taking part in camping, outpost hiking, cooking, riflery, singing, campfires, boating, swimming, archery and Scout games. 14 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS The Amissville Midget baseball team walked off with a victory Tuesday night when they downed Vint Hill with a 32-2 final score. Brooke Miller was the winning pitcher, striking out 10. Amissville chalked up 21 hits and made four home runs. On To The Next Budget To the editor: In a community whose government is dominated by people who can easily afford to-and often do-send their children to private schools, and who feel they personally need little from local government by crime protection, it’s hardly surprising that public schools and other public services get short shrift when it comes to setting tax rates. Yet the institution of Free, Compulsory, Public Education is a cornerstone of this republic. In the end, deterioration of the quality of our schools and the neglect of public programs in general will hurt all of us, including those whose principal aim has been to save on taxes. What then can be done? Obviously nothing if too few people in the community care deeply enough about public education and other public services to take the trouble to make their views known. One of our recently departing teachers-one of a distressingly large number — wrote in a letter to this newspaper that the people of this community simply do not care enough about good education. It would be difficult to challenge that statement on the basis of the public record. Still, we do challeng'e it. Our years in Rappahannock County convince us that the community has more than its share of people who care deeply. The problem has not been in the caring, but in the doing. Too many who do care- and we include ourselves - have been too busy looking out for ourselves to speak up for what we believe. It’s time for a change! But this is not a call to “Throw the rascals out!” The people who run Rappahannock County are not rascals. In the main, they are fine citizens who give generously of their time and effort to serve this community. They seem, indeed, to be doing a faithful job of listening to and heeding the voices they hear most often. It could, in fact, be argued that, in view of the pressures under which they operate, the Supervisors have displayed real courage in raising the property tax rate to 58 cents. The lesson is a simple one: If public policies reflect largely the priorities of a vocal minority, surely the fault lies with a nonvocal majority, not with the elected representatives. It’s too late to get more adequate financing for schools and other services out of the new budget. But it’s not too soon to start thinking about what we want the next budget to offer.

Letters To The Editor Thanks from the Carrigans To the editor: I have always felt that the celebration of Independence Day, commemorating the birthday of our nation, should be something special for children and young people. It should be a day when they can participate in many events of historic nature that graphically relates to the struggle between the colonies and Mother England, which placed intolerable taxes and embargoes on their people. The young people should know that they are enjoying the freest land in all the world, but that it was bought for a price. Active participation in the July 4 celebration will help them review the history of our country. Historic sketches of many kinds, parades, marshal music, singing of patriotic songs, games of various kinds and fireworks displays are some of the things in which children and young people can participate. This year, it was intended that the high school band play the Star Spangled Banner and other songs under the direction of Miss Kathy Hewitt on the speaker system at Avon Hall. Members of the band present were: Didi Salmon, Leslie Nichols, Dwight Parker, David Fisher and Sean Wayland. Just as they came to the mikes a cloud of rain burst upon them and they headed to shelters. I must say regretably that it was our loss that this year the band did not play. I only ask that they practice hard, build up their band and next year, just maybe they can play like thunder. A great disappointment was the cancellation of the foot races for children under 12. This has been an annual event on the Fourth for many years with over a hundren children competing for cash prizes. The rain caused a change in schedules allowing the colonial encampment to finish early, and that was the cause of the cancellation. We will see that that will not happen next year. Sorry you 12-year-olds missed out. It is important that school children who have achieved exceptional honors in the last year by publicly recognized on the day of independence. Natalie Butler was to deliver a statement about the high school achievers and the names of those honored by their teachers for exceptional work on the speaker system at Avon Hall. Just as she came forth to do this the crowd began to take shelter from the rain. I asked her to wate a little for the crowd to return. However, the rain lasted too long and we had to proceed with the final part of the program with community singing and fireworks. There were other cuts in the evening program, but few noticed. Wakefield School of Huntly had part (the junior part) of their Colonial Marching players do a trip across the field led by the strong beat of Wakefield’s drummers. They were dressed in colonial dress, boys and girls, all 10 of them. Lost Van To the editor: Have you seen it? Something missing! Rappahannock Senior Citizens lost two special items recently. Their van driver and site supervisor Betty Jo Burke plus their shiny, new, blue van. They know where Betty Jo went; to a much better job with a phone company. They are happy for her. They aren’t happy about their new van being gone. Just where it went, they haven’t been told. For years these people had the oldest van in the Community Services fleet of vans. Then finally a new one arrived and was given to the Rappahannock site. Oh! Happy day. Please everyone be on the lookout for that blue van. If it is only mis Dr. William Lynn proudly led the group flanked by the flag and standard bearers. The crowd recognized them three times with loud cheers. It was cut short, too, but another year and they will surely step briskly to the drum. Betty Lentz again came out in a gorgeous, new Arab costume to serve as grand marshal of the tournament, which was also curtailed by the rains. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Kohler arrived about 5:30 with their balloon but felt the horses and the coming storm would not allow them the minimum two hours to make it worth while to put the balloon up. The Colonial Revolution encampment of the Americans (Maryland Regiment) and a Scotch Brigade were able to perform in mock battle - which the Marylanders won - to add color and excitement to the day for people on both sides. Richard Viguerie provided and arranged for this excellent program, I would like to congratulate all participants in all the events. They all lived up to expectations. The H. Gilkey family fireworks display experts put on the most spectacular show we have ever had in the past 23 years. These display items are highly dangerous and only the professionals should ever try to handle them. We should all feel good that they are willing to come each year and risk the dangers involved. But by very careful team work and orchestration of firing they are able to control most of the dangers. I am especially happy and I know the display is in the best of hands. Thank you Gilkey family for all of us. Brad r isher was most expert in handling the music and announcements. His expert electronic communications center made it possible for most people to hear and participate. Roger Roach, fire chief, was most cooperative in seeing to the needs of the people. The Sheriffs Department provided dignified and careful watching for infractions on the grounds during the programs. Thank you from all of us. Let it be known that the audience which covered most of the available hill areas and the dam site as well as the highway were the chief participants. You were the passive recipients who provided the cheers which spurred the performers on to do their best. Without the crowd I cannot imagine the Gilkeys out in an abandoned field shooting off fireworks for their own pleasure. There were no casualties as far as we know. Mrs. Carrigan with me hopes everyone, performers and viewers, enjoyed this Independence Day Celebration at Avon Hall. Finally, a big thank you to the unknown clean-up squad who cleared the hills of trash-they still ring with the music. I can hear it. WILLIAM AND RAMONA CARRIGAN Avon Hall placed, perhaps a few calls are needed to remind people that those vans belong to people who ride them and not to the people who drive them. The vans are under control of Planning District 9 Community Services. The phone number is 825-6494. FAYE B. CRESCENTI Former Nutrition Site Supervisor |—From Both Barrels - Thinking About Strategy By GEORGE BOWLES As this long, hot summer of preparation gets under way for the fall political campaigns, both the Democratic and Republican candidates for statewide office would seem to be confronted with a baffling array of strategic problems. They include decisions which not only deeply involve their own political futures, but could influence the tone of politics in the Old Dominion for years to come. Consider first the situations of Republican gubernatorial hopeful Wyatt B. Durrette. Durrette, as the GOP standard bearer, should have a ready-made set of issues which would be the centerpiece of his drive for the Governor’s Mansion. That, of course, is the record of his Democratic predecessor, Gov. Charles S. Robb. But Durrette has been effectively denied that issue. The reason is that the Republicans have been unable to find anything of substance in Robb’s record to complain about. Without the Democratic record in Virginia to run against, Durrette will, of course, attack the national Democratic record and attempt to tie his opponent, former Attorney General Gerald L. Baliles, to “the party of ‘Tip’ O’Neill, Walter Mondale and Ted Kennedy.” Durrette also hopes to get some political mileage out of the abortion issue, Baliles’ alleged softness on supporting the Right to Work Law, and perhaps a few other conservative-versusliberal litmus test questions. < an control hasn’t been mentioned, but you can be sure if it is shown that Baliles ever denied his kid the use of an air rifle to shoot a sparrow, the National Rifle Association will be right there with a massive mail-out charging him with favoring the confiscation of firearms. But Republican strategists quietly regard as their ace-in-the hole in the coming elections the candidacy of Sen. L. Douglas Wilder of Richmond, a black, for lieutenant governor and, to a lesser extent, the candidacy of Del. Mary Sue Terry of Stuart, a woman, for attorney general. During the nominating process the GOP leaders watched with barely suppressed glee Wilder’s tightening grip on the nomination. Now that he has it, many in the party’s conservative wing are convinced the elections are as good as won. State GOP Chairman Donald Huffman candidly admits that he believes the presence of Wilder and Terry on the Democratic ticket will “make it easier” for Republicans to be elected. Privately, however, GOP conservatives jubilantly predict that state Sen. John Chichester of Stafford, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, will crush Wilder so decisively that it could also bring down the candidacies of Baliles and Terry, resulting in a full Republican sweep of all statewide offices for the first time in history. Thus it appears safe to say that Republican strategists are relying on Wilder, abortion, selected other liberal issues and tying the Democratic ticket to national Democratic liberal figures to offset the public’s perception — and recollection — of a just completed and successful Democratic administration when they make their choices this fall. Baliles, on the other hand, will depend heavily on the public’s approval of the Robb administration’s performance in which, as attorney general, he had a genuinely substantive role. Relying on this, however, can also be risky business. As innovative as some of the Robb initiatives may be to those inside government, to the person-on-the-street, they might appear, as one Robb loyalist put it, to be about as exciting as cold oatmeal. The Democratic camp, needless to say, does not share the Republicans’ view that the Wilder candidacy is necessarily catastrophic for the entire Democratic ticket. Indeed, while many Democrats held that view earlier, most are now convinced that whatever damage is done will be done to the Wilder candidacy alone. In fact a surprising number of Democrats are coming around to the view that the Wilder candidacy itself may be “do-able.” That is, it is not inconceivable that he could win the election. Clearly, however, this is a minority view. The Democrats have no such reservations about the electability of Terry. Many regard her as the strongest member of the Democratic ticket, and several even predict that she will gamer more votes than any of the other candidates on either ticket. While early summer polls show that she is in a virtual tie with her GOP opponent, Del. W. R. “Buster” O’Brien of Virginia Beach her supporters are con.oed that her standings will improve markedly once the campaign gets under way. Thus the strategic dilemmas faced by the two parties. Durrette and the Republicans must find a way to campaign without attacking the outgoing Democratic administration, which probably has be higher approval rating among many Republicans than it does among liberal Democrats. This will be especially difficult since Baliles is at least as conservative as Robb. It will be hard to make charges of liberalism stick. Also the Republicans will be looking for ways to capitalize on what they perceive as the advantage of having a black and a woman on the opposing ticket. This must be done without crossing that dangerously ill-defined line into racism or sexism, however subtle or well-camouflaged with code words it may be. That job will probably be left to rightwing surrogates. Baliles will have to persuade the electorate that he is the logical heir to the Robb style of leadership, of which it seems agreed the voters generally approve. At the same time, he will have to convince black voters that he genuinely supports the candidacy of Wilder, while persuading white voters that the aggressive and charismatic senator, as lieutenant governor, would not wield inordinate power in a Baliles administration. And so, for both the Democrats and Republicans, the decisions involved in this year’s races are more complicated, and more sensitive, than those in any other statewide elections held heretofore in the Old Dominion. Their outcome could thus make social as well as political history in the Commonwealth.

Mary Sue Terry (1 ontinued from Page 1) be releasing position papers over the next several weeks-I don’t want to st( a! the thunder from those releases.” She did offer some details on a “Victim Witness” proposal, which as attorney general she would work to enact into law. The proposal would 1) ensure for victims and witnesses waiting rooms separate from criminals, 2) ensure the speedy return of property to the victims of robberies, and 3) ensure that employers are notified when an employee is on duty as a witness. Terry deplored the fact that criminals have rights such as the Miranda Law (which states that suspects must be read their rights), while victims have no rights that require they be compensated after crimes. As attorney general, Terry would continue her fight against drunk driving. Essentially she thinks the fight will be won by “beefing up public awareness of the problem.” Says Terry: “There are many people who still don’t recognize the size of the problem. We lost over the last four years twice as many people as we lost during the entire Vietnam conflict.” Regarding the economy, Terry said the quality of life in both the state and the country is dependent on a healthy private sector. “You can’t kill the goose that lays the golden egg. We should do all we can to encourage the private sector to grow.” How does she as a Virginia Democrat differ from a Virginia Republican? “I won’t attempt to answer that question; I’ll just say that the tradition of Virginia Democrats is one of which we can all be proud. Every law passed this century that gives us the quality of life that we have, and which safeguards certain values we consider precious, is the product of Virginia Democrats in the General Assembly...” Asked if she has religious convictions that contribute to her notions on public policy, Terry said “the values I bring along from my religious tradition are faith and humility. I think they are the boundary lines of any successful political system.” She included tolerance as a hallmark of her religious tradition. Terry’s position on abortion is prochoice except for minors. She does not see that issue as a pivitol one in the race. Terry, like her opponent, supports capital punishment, but she did not elaborate on any of the technicalities of that position. The fact that Terry is a woman gives the ticket a new look, but overall she does not expect that to have a significant affect on the race. “I’m sure there will be those for whom it will constitute an extra hurdle to consider voting for a woman,” she said. But “it’s in the Virginia tradition to consider candidates on their merits.” What does Terry think of Ronald Reagan? “I support the president in a number of his initiatives, and I have some difficulties in others, but I really wouldn’t want to (elaborate) on that. It’s not an issue in the race for attorney general.” Terry said she is not interested in any office higher tnan attorney general. “My personal goal, if and when elected attorney general, is to serve in that office in such a way as to justify the confidence of all those who have supported me...and also to earn the respect of those who didn’t choose to support me.” VIRGINIA - 1337 176-436 THE ANTIQUE CAR SHOW was a big hit on Gay Street. This 1937 Chevrolet drewTnadminW crowd. David Konick organized the car show for the sixth consecutive year. Deadline For Service Requests (Continued from Page 1) from the system. The authority will "gn e appropriate consideration to written requests from any property owner in the service area for his or her property to be removed from planned service.” The requests should be submitted by September 1 and should include written health department certification that the properties are served by properly constructed septic systems that are operating in compliance with State Health Department regulations. The usefulness of a health department certification was questioned by Core. “If they don’t see little boats running along the top of the ground, they're going to say it’s okay,” Gore said. Authority member James White said that the authority’s criteria for a properly operating septic system would go beyond health department criteria. If he (the health department inspector) will not certify that it (a septic system) will not add to the ground water pollution in the service area, and he won’t put his professional name on that, then we’re going to send it upstairs,” White said. White said that people who request and are granted an exemption should understand that, if their septic system develops problems in the future, they will have to pay all hook-up charges at that time. Gerhart said that under the present contract, the total hook-up cost is averaging - $8,000. “That’s under the present contract fees, and in the future it’s going to be higher,” White said. Other Business The third motion approved by the authority was a request that Gerhart prepare and recommend to the authority an interim policy and schedule of hook-up fees to apply only during the active construction period. “I know you (Gerhart) have some reservations about that, but I think that if we have people who are coming to us now saying they want service to a lot because they want to build on it that we have to have some kind of rational response to them,” Dennis said. Bill Fletcher, attorney for Peter F. Weslow, asked the authority if any final decision had been made on Weslow’s service request. The request was submitted at the authority’s last meeting. “We do not (have a final decision),” Dennis said. “I will say that we have discussed your request with the State Water Control Board, and we have to file it formally there.” He said that the property should be put on the system in his opinion, but that the authority would have to work with the State Water Control Board. “This authority is unable to make the final decision,” Dennis said. “We can make an official request, and I hope you would trust us to present the case.” He also asked Fletcher to find out whether or not Weslow owns property between the Thornton River and Route 211 for access purposes. Gerhart repotted that the foundations for the treatment tankage have been put in place and the foundations for the treatment plant building are being laid. “To date, the pipeline contractor has in excess of 3,000 feet (of pipe) in the ground out of about 26,000 feet,” Gerhart said. Dennis asked White to make periodic checks on the construction progress and make reports to the authority. Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission in Culpeper, presented a draft of a letter to be sent to home owners in the service area whose houses’ electrical wiring does not meet the requirements necessary to install septic pumps when the system becomes operational. The letter will be sent to each affected home owner after suggested changes are made. Cilimberg told the authority that state requirements concerning the staff person hired to work at sewage plants exceed the needs of the Sperryville system. Gerhart said that the state requires that the person hired spend eight hours a day at the plant, but that there may be some potential for relief from the requirement. Cilimberg said that the position should be shared with the county if possible. “Perhaps whoever works in maintenance at the schools could work at the plant, too,” Cilimberg said. Dennis asked that Cilimberg try to get the requirement lifted for the system. Ruritans Add Balloon To Barbeque By H R. TERHUNE Amiunville Ruritans Encouraging new heights in patron attendance, the Amissville Ruritan ( 'lub offered a double attraction for their annual barbecue on June 29. Tad Loving of Culpeper, a member of the Chesapeake Balloon Association, gave a close up demonstration of how a hot air balloon works and offered free tethered rides to the public. The tip sirloin beef was again the perfect attraction for some 300 guests, but after those home-made deserts, the crowd reassembled outside the Amissville Fire House where the rides and exhibit were the courtesy of Mr. Loving. Spectators were amused as friends and neighbors climbed aboard. John Jenkins, Viewtown postmaster, was enticed aboard by his granddaughter, Angela Joy. Granddad looked tense and Angela ecstatic as they were “on stage” about 50 feet over the Rappahannock skyline. This was the 24th annual barbecue by the Ruritans a point up for next year when even greater plans are being made to serve the public. The Ruritans have many hands that reach out in benevolent and charitable assistance to worthy individuals and/or associations in Rappahannock County. 1985 Dodge D100 Metallic Paint “HD Vinyl Seat 4 Speed Transmission 6 Cyl.

Castleton Residents Entertain Plenty of celebrating over the Independence holiday took place this year, whether it was enjoying fJl the people and great food in Washington or having friends and family over for picnics and games, the sounds of laughter and joy were heard all around. There was a good, old fashion, family reunion at the home of Richard “Doug” and Becky Gore this past weekend where 70 or so people gathered on their lawn for picnic feasting and “how have you been” conversations. It was their daughter Ellen’s birthday and it really turned out to be some affair!! Their son, Ricky and his wife, Beverly and their daughter, Jan were all there to help with the out-of-town guests who came from as far away as Florida and Georgia. Doug’s sister Marie and her husband, Menefee Utz, who are from Castleton had a short distance to travel in comparison. Photos were being snapped of everyone in every direction and in every position reported Becky with a chuckle. This was one, if not the best one of the greatest reunions in their family’s history. J.T. and Melzie Woodward spent a week of Independence celebrating in Vernon, New Jersey with their oldest daughter, Darlene and her husband, Clint Conover. Their youngest daughter, Donna and her husband, Randy Sheads and their family were also visiting the Conovers and a special friend, Heather Owen of Culpeper was happily included too. They spent a fun day in “Action Park” near Vernon, N.J., where they enjoyed ;he amusements. J.T. says that 15,000 people attend the park everyday a* ; it was so unbelievably crowded!' y drove down to Atlantic City, Nt w Jersey, walked on the broadwalk, watched the waves and sea gulls, had a fine dinner and went to several casinos to try their luck. J.T. couldn’t get over how populated the casinos were too. People everywhere. They had a great time playing the slot machines!! The family drove around New York City so that J.T. and Melzie could get their fill of crowds and people and they sure did!! When asked what did they epjoy most about the trip, J.T. says, “Eating out!” They loved all the unusual restaurants and food, especailly the French and Italian!!

An encumbrance is any claim or charge attached to and binding upon real property. It may lessen the property’s value or impair it’s use, but it doesn’t have to mean that the title cannot be transferred. Liens, easements, licenses or encroachments are among the most common encumbrances. A lien is a claim upon the property that provides security for repayment of a debt. Liens can be voluntary or involuntary. A mortgage lien would be voluntary. The owner agrees to use the property as collateral for a loan. A tax lien arising when a court attaches a property for non-payment of taxes, is obviously an involuntary lien. Encumbrances that are monetary, such as liens, are usually paid and released at the closing. On the other hand, physical encumbrances such as easements (like a power company’s right to cross a property to service electrical lines) are usually transferred with the title to the new owner. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA. 22747. Phone: 6753400.

Rappahannock Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life Belgian ‘Gentle Giants’ Babied By The Hutchesons By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer A horse that weighs 18,000 to 22,000 plus pounds would not be many people’s idea of something to cuddle and baby. That’s where Leon and Betty Hutcheson stand apart from the crowd. Since 1983, the Hutchesons have been involved in breeding Belgian horses. They started with one mare, Rosie, who had a colt foal last year. Recent additions have brought the total Belgian population at Ibarq Farm up to the yearling colt, Shenandoah, a twoyear-old filly and three mares. More additions are on the way since all of the mares are in foal. The Hutchesons’ Sunset Hills Farm adjoins Ibarq Farm, which is owned by Jean and Bernard Campagne of McLean. The horses are kept at Ibarq Farm, and the Campagnes help Leon and Betty on weekends or holidays. The Hutchesons appreciate the help since the Belgians have to be fed twice a day. “They can put the food away,” Leon said. Shenandoah is not quite a year old yet, and he already stands at 15.4 hands. Leon expects him to be at least 17 hands when he is fullgrown. Shenandoah, like most Bel to eight horse hitched teams to pull brewery and other wagons as a form of advertisement. The horses are used in farming primarily by Amish farmers in Pennsylvania. The largest Belgian populations are found in Ohio and Indiana, but their popularity is spreading to the west and east coasts. There are shows and competitions for Belgians, including pulling contests. Belgians are judged on the basis of their size, soundness, conformation, quality, constitution, breeding and color. The colors of most Belgians in the U.S. are sorrel, chestnut, roan and bay although there are some blacks and greys. One of the mares at Ibarq, Sandy Jo, is light blonde. The Hutchesons have lived in Rappahannock for five years, and are the only people in the county who are raising pure-bred Belgians. Leon became interested in draft horses when he was young and his grandfather had Clydesdales. He decided to raise Belgians because of the breed’s popularity. Leon uses the three mares for riding, pulling logs, sleighs and single or double wagons. “They’re not the greatest for riding because of their size, but they’re perfect for Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley SHENANDOAH IS A yearling Belgian colt that has been babied by the Hutchesons since his birth. The colt is now about 15.4 hands and should be at least 17 hands when he is full grown. my kind of riding since they’re slow and calm,” Leon said. The Hutchesons are members of the Belgian Draft Horse Corporation of America, and they plan to breed Belgians to sell. Leon said that he has not decided whether or not to keep Shenandoah as the farm’s stud. “If he stays as easy to handle as he is now and he grows to at least 17 hands, we’ll see,” Leon said. “If you have a stallion that is 18 hands, then you’ve got money in the bank because you know you’ll be selling his foals.” Prices for Belgians range from $2,200 to $3,000 for fillies and mares, $3,000 and up for geldings to be used in hitches, $10,000 or more for rare colors or other characteristics and $15,000 and up for mature, quality studs. Leon said that he hopes to have six mares within a year and a half so that there will be six foals a year at the farm. Belgian mares foal after an 11 month gestation period. “They usually foal naturally and quickly,” Leon said. He said that there is not a good market for Belgians in this area, and that he will take his horses to a sale in Columbus, Ohio when the time comes. At present, though, he and Betty are enjoying the Belgians they have, and they welcome visitors to the farm but Used with permission from the Charles Martin Conlon Collection owned hv The Sporting News.

He also has a white face that sometimes is marked with lipstick after Betty’s morning kiss. “She spoils him to death,” Leon said. “We’ve both babied him since he was born, though.” When he was bom, Leon said, Shenandoah was one of the funniest looking things he had ever seen. Belgians can weigh from 75 to 85 pounds at birth, and Leon said that the foals are all legs. “Their legs don’t get much longer as they grow, but their bodies fill out to catch up with their legs,” Leon said. Belgians are a breed of draft horse descended from the ancient breed of Flemish horses. The first importation of the breed to the United States from Belgium was made in 1886, and Belgians quickly became popular with farmers and loggers. Americans found that the Belgians were the easiest to handle and ship of all of the draft breeds. Their quiet dispositions earned them the title of “gentle giants,” and their ability to pull a load of 6,000 to 10,000 pounds and to work for eight to 10 hours a day has made them America’s “draft horse supreme.” Belgians are heavily muscled with a broad, deep chest, sloping shoulders and big feet. “The only problem with them is that sometimes they step on your feet,” Leon said. Belgians are used today in six ARCOM has a foxy service for you!

At one of the first school board •meetings he ever attended in Rappahannock as a new teacher, Bomberger said that he told the members how hard it was to make ends meet on a teacher’s salary. “One of the members said that that’s just the way it is when you’re young and told me to wait until I had been here awhile for things to change," Bomberger said. “I waited, and things have never changed. “It seems like I’m always talking in a defeatist attitude, and I don’t want to be that way for the rest of my life, so I’m going to go somewhere to make a positive difference.” Although elementary school teacher Lynne Baines feels defeated at times, too, she has decided to remain in Rappahannock and keep working to better the teaching situation. She has been teaching in Rappahannock for 13 years and besides being' concerned about teachers’ salaries, she has also been disturbed by what she sees as a changing attitude towards teachers. “It is disappointing that people in the county don’t feel like teachers deserve salaries that would allow a decent standard of living or that are in line with the training teachers have,” Baines said. “Students and the public don’t respect teachers like they used to, and they are always concerned about their rights. I wonder where teachers’ rights start.” She said that the worst time in Rappahannock for teacher morale and turnover rate was eight or nine years ago, and that she fears the same situa tion will occur again. “We have got to find some way to keep teachers, and give them some incentive for staying besides in monetary ways,” Baines said. “I don’t want to go to a merit pay system, but teachers who have been here for awhile and have done good things for the schools have got to be recognized and paid for it, too.” She said that nothing is ever done to welcome teachers at the beginning of the school year, and that there is no recognition for teachers, like an outstanding teacher award, from the school board or any other group in the county. “The standardized test scores show what the teachers are doing, and teachers should be recognized and applauded for that,” Baines said. “I’m not saying that teachers automatically deserve it, it has to be earned.” She said that another problem teachers face is a lack of adequate housing in the county. That forces teachers to find places to live outside of Rappahannock. “I think one of the reasons I’ve stayed in the county is that I think you have to live around the kids you teach to be an effective teacher,” Baines said. “If you live where you teach, you can see your students in church and other places besides in school.” upsetting feature of this year’s budget time for Baines was the way people focused on the school budget as the cause of higher taxes. “I don’t have any figures, but Rappahannock residents have to realize that some of their tax money is being lost to land use,” Baines said. “I feel like the schools have been used as a scapegoat just because the school budget is the largest in the county.” She said that something has to be done to make up for the tax money not being collected due to land use taxation, and that she will continue to work to find ways to better the schools. “I go through a stage of wanting to work, Relief Lack Of Rain Threatens Corn Rain quenched hay, com and tobacco fields in much of parched central and southside Virginia this week, but farmers in several counties still are waiting for relief. “If it doesn’t rain within two weeks, that would put a lot of pressure on me even to survive,” said Ronnie Bruce, a Prince Edward County farmer whose hay, barley and wheat crops were severely damaged by a spring drought. Rainfall has been scant in the county since early June, and that has Bruce wondering about the future of his 125 acres of com. “The com is looking pretty good,” he Said by telephone, “but it’s at a critical stage and there’s no water reserve at all. Rainfall is needed for pollination immediately for some of it, and within the next two weeks for the entire crop.” Agriculture officials said Friday that com needs rainfall regularly starting now so the ears will form and fill with kemals. Hay in fields parched by the spring drought still isn’t growing much in some areas, officials said. “With the spring drought, the first cutting of hay was lousy,” said Red Rowley, assistant state statistician with the Virginia Crop Reporting Service in Richmond. “Barley had pretty low yields. The same goes for wheat. “The real dry places are in southcentral Virginia. Those are the areas that seem to be hurting now.” Ed Hanes, Cumberland County extension agent, said area farms need rain desperately. “We can swing either way,” he said. “If we get above-normal rainfall from here on out, we can get abovenormal yields. If we get below-normal rainfall, yields will be below normal.” The National Weather Service in Richmond said much of northern, central and south-central Virginia got considerably less rain than usual last month. Frederick County got only 1.8 inches, down 2.26 inches from the average. In Richmond and Newport News, rainfall was slightly above normal. Rappahannock News PhokVJane Bangley AFTER OVER THREE years of service as the volunteer director of the senior citizen nutrition site, Barbara Gentry retired from the position last week. She is holding a plaque she received in appreciation for her “many years of dedicated service.” She said that she will still visit the site occasionally. and then I get my toes stepped on or my feelings hurt and I go home to stick my head in the sand,” Baines said. “You can only be pushed down so many times.” Lucia Kilby has been the elementary school librarian for 25 years. She is also married to a farmer in Rappahannock, so she sees both sides of the budget issue. “Anytime you have cuts in salary or benefits you will have morale affected, and you generally have to have more money to do more,” Kilby said. “I don’t know where the money is going to come from, though, because the farmers aren’t making that much either and they can’t shoulder the burden like they have to with real estate taxes.” She said that alternate sources of revenue for the county need to be found. “There has to be some other way of funding education,” Kilby said. “I’d like to be paid more, but it cannot be totally funded by the real estate tax.” Assistant Superintendent Campbell said that the cuts in the school budget will have an impact, but that the budget is a workable one. “Our job here is to take the budget and do as well as we can with it,” Campbell said. “There are things to feel good about in the budget, like the 11 percent increase to teachers’ salaries pretty much across the board. .Sperryville.

MERILLAT INDUSTRIES, INC. 641 Maddox Drive, Culpeper, Virginia ENTIRELY BY GRACE by Tom Marshall of the Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship Yes, we changed the title (above), but not the meaning. It refers to the fact that our salvation, our preservation and our victory in the Christian life are all entirely the result of God’s working in us by His grace. In other words we get not what we deserve, but through our Lord Jesus we get the provision, the instruction, the protection, the fellowship, and the correction <,r chastening of a loving Father. None of this is the result of our works, not a case of “God helps those who help themselves”, but it is the result of His love demonstrated by His grace to those who are not able to help themselves. As we have stated before, this does not meap we have no responsibilities, but it does mean that our responsibilities do not include somehow deserving God’s blessing. Yes, it is true that a person must be righteous in order to enter into eternal blessing with God. As a matter of fact, a person must be absolutely righteous in order to do that. And it must be accomplished in this life, since there is no biblical basis for the concept of purgatory or any other such place or time of a “second chance.” Sounds like a contradiction, doesn’t it? In God’s transcending wisdom however, it is not, for He provides absolute righteousness to those who trust in Jesus as their Sa viour. This is the very heart of the gospel, that God justifies the unjust — and He does it not by turning His back on our sin, but rather He did it by laying the penalty of our sin entirely on the Lord Jesus Christ. We have been studying the New Testament book of Galatians, and have recently covered the section in chapter 3 which explains how the Old Testament man, Abraham, was justified (considered by God to be righteous). It was on the basis of God’s grace, through the channel of Abraham’s faith (trust) in God. The passage goes on to explain that we of this present age who trust in Christ are counted (considered) righteous along with “faithful Abraham.” In theological jargon this is called “posi-' tional righteousness.” It is on this basis of declared righteousness that we are saved and assured of eternity with God. There is another kind of righteousness which is called “practical righteousness.” This refers to our conduct in this life. It is God’s desire that our practical righteous conform to our positional righteousness. Tragically this is often not the case. More about this later. Please feel free to contact us.
