The option to build a library on a separate lot was made viable in May of 1984 when Byrd G. Jones, a resident of Washington, gave a plot of land to the Friends of the Rappahannock County Library, a volunteer group which looks after the interests of the library. The plot is on Gay Street and is the present site of Emily Fincham’s home. The deed from Byrd Jones stipulates that the Friends of the Library must have “built within ten years after the death of the present life tenant...a library building (or a wing as a portion of a larger planned library) on the premises hereby conveyed...” If the Friends do not build within 10 years after the death of the present tenant, then the deed passes to the Northern Virginia Education Center in Front Royal. In the debate over how to provide more library space, the chief considerations are: (1) an immediate need to make the library more functional, and (2) an interest in preserving the existing library building, which is widely regarded as an historical landmark. One group in the debate wants to preserve the existing library building exactly as it is. This group thinks the best plan is to focus ail attention on the It (the libraiv) is a landmark; we should not change it, we should build a new library across the street. - Virginia Lindstrom future construction of a library on Byrd Jones’ gift of land. A representative of this viewpoint, Virginia Lindstrom of Washington, states emphatically that the community should preserve the existing building. “It is a landmark; we should not change it, we should build in the future a library across the street,” according to Lindstrom. She thinks the present library eventually should be used only for special books and meet ings and that all working space should be in a new library. Lindstrom believes that any money available for expansion of the library should be saved and put toward a new building. She fears that money spent on expansion will deplete the necessary funds for a new library. Another group in the debate claims the library needs to be made functional now. This group thinks the library could be expanded while maintaining the architectural integrity of the building. A representative of this viewpoint, library trustee Mary Jamieson, says a small expansion now will resolve a dire space shortage without great expense. She claims that an addition to the existing building would not preclude building a library on the property deeded by Byrd Jones. According to librarian Grace Sims, the space shortage at the library has nothing to do with the book explosion. “Everybody is talking about the book explosion,” Sims says, adding “that’s not the problem.” Sims weeds out books on a regular basis and that provides her with ample space for incoming books. The real problem, says Sims, i> the lack of office space in the library According to her, a separate room is needed so that office duties such astyping and record keeping are not done beside those who are trying to study or read in the library. Sims had no preference about whether to expand the building or to build across the street. She was delighted, though, “that people are : r> ing to do something about the problem.” On June 24, t he Library's Hoard ■ ) Trustees and the Friends of the Li brary held a joint meeting during which discussion focused on the poss, (Continued on Page I'd Bowers Sentenced Robert Leroy Bowers, owner of Blue Ridge Gun Shop at Amissville, pleaded guilty to one of five felony counts and was sentenced on Monday, July 15. The case was heard by Judge James C. Turk in Federal District Court in Roanoke. Bowers had been indicted on April 18 on five felony counts of making false statements to apply for and renew his federal firearms license to deal in explosives. The five applications were submitted from 1981 to 1983, and the , Federal District Court Grand Jury indicted Bowers for answering “no” to a question regarding whether or not he had ever been “convicted of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year....” Bowers made the negative answer on the applications with the knowledge that he had been convicted of forgery, which is punishable by a term of imprisonment of a year, according to the indictments. Each count carried a maximum sentence of five years incarceration and/or a $5,000 fine. Bowers had pleaded not guilty to the charges at a May 14 arraignment. Jerry Kilgor of the U.S. Attorney’s Office said that, after Bowers pleaded guilty to one of the counts, he received a suspended jail sentence and was placed on probation for three years. Conditions of the probation are: Bowers has to comply with all local, (Continued on Page 16) Flint Hill Carnival Coming The annual Flint Hill Carnival will run from Wednesday, July 31, to Saturday, August 3.

The attacks happened at two week intervals with few' clues left behind as to the identity of the animal or animals responsible. Questions about compensation to owners of livestock killed by dogs have been raised since some of the characteristics of the sheep killings indicate “The lamb looked almost like it had been skinned. Jack Bruce that a dog or dogs could be responsible. Randall Updike, who manages Snead’s sheep herd, found the three sheep when he went for the flock’s early morning feeds. “The first one was a 250-pound ewe,” Updike said. “She had cuts over her and one of her hind legs was pretty well eaten up so we had to put her to sleep.” Updike said that, since she was still walking around, there was no way to know where she was attacked so that tracks or other information could be looked for. Updike found a 40-pound lamb about two weeks later that had been totally devoured. Jack Bruce, the county dog warden, had been called after the first attack and he was called again when the lamb was found. “The lamb looked almost like it had been skinned, and it didn’t look like what a dog or a bear does,” Bruce said. “In all my years, I’ve never seen anything like it (the lamb).” (Continued on Page 16) Farm Show Draws Local Entries The annual farm show, featuring a host of Rappahannock entries, began today and will run through Monday, July 29.

This is the seventh straight year Starks has entered hogs in the competition. She has twice placed second, in 1979 and 19S4 Starks, who began raising the hogs in late April, will shovi (hem Thursday at 7 p.m. She is not as confident about doing well this year as she has been in previous years.

This is the nrst y, nr Kalis has entered a steer, but he isn't lacking experience; this is the fifth year he has entered hogs. In 19S2 he placed first and in other years has twice placed second.

He will show his steer on Friday at 7:20 p.m. Elizabeth Oliver. 12, of Woodville has entered six events, which include arranging flowers, sewing a pillow, a skirt and a blouse, and making string art.

Increasingly, he or she is just as likely to be found inside working at a personal computer on a complex spreadsheet analysis of possible crop production, marketing and cash flow projections. Today’s farm manager wears many hats. No longer is skill in crop or livestock production alone enough —effective, modern farm management re quires training and expertise in the areas of financial management, marketing and land conservation as well. The list of skills which a farm manager must master will continue to grow through the end of this century as the face of agriculture changes. Historically, improving production methods has been a major concern of farm managers. During the past 60 years, advances in mechanization, the use of fertilizers and herbicides, the development of new hybrid seed varie ties, improvements in drainage and narrowing of crop rows have been the focus of farm management. Farm managers in today’s difficult environment must concentrate not only on increasing crop yields, but also on reducing the cost of producing each bushel, pound or ton. Forward-thinking farm managers also are looking towards other fertile areas in which even greater gains may (Continued on Page 16) Business Is Good And Bad At Fruit Stands By JON KLAVERKAMl* KappahanntK k New h Staff Writer A recent tour of the fruit and vegetable stands on Route 211 revealed that business this summer is either good or bad depending on who you talk to. Some people who manage stands say business is awful; others say business is booming. What follows are comments from the people who manage and own the county’s colorful roadside stands. Ivan and Hazel Hall of Sperryville first opened their stand in 1979, after Ivan resigned his position of 32 years as a financial manager with the U.S. Postal Service headquarters in Washington, D. C. Having begun life as a “country boy” in Carroll County, Va., Ivan was lured back to the country after many hectic years in Washington, D. C. He has always loved to grow things. Says Ivan: “This is the way I kept my sanity while in D.C. I came to the country and grew gardens. Gardening to me is recreation. I was bound for so long to a desk, I needed to physi cally exert myself.” Business at the Halls’ stand is booming. Their patronage has increased to the point where it has changed the business from a hobby into “work,” according to Ivan. He is not upset by that trend. “It pleases me to have something that people need and want. Things are good this year.” In addition to fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies and juices, the Halls sell flowers, which they raise.

The charges stemmed from an incident on May 4 when Rappahannock Deputy Gary Settle and another deputy were conducting a road check on Route 729. Deputy Settle testified that a vehicle kept going past the first deputy who was standing in the road with his hand up. As the car passed Deputy Settle on the right shoulder of the road, he said that he saw the driver and recognized Dodson. Deputy Settle then got in his car and pursued the vehicle, but lost sight of Dodson’s vehicle on 72ftrii* checked on Dbdson’Svdriving record and found that his operator’s license had been suspended. Dodson was cooperative after an initial statement that he had not been driving that day when Deputy Settle did find him a few days later. Dodson said that he did not stop at the road check because he knew that he did not have a license. He said that he has not been able to get his license back because of financial requirements. Dodson’s attorney, Frank Reynolds, asked Judge John Alexander to impose a fine and jail sentence that would allow Dodson to continue working so that he can eventually pay to have his license reinstated. “He broke the law, but there was no danger posed to anyone during the incident since there was no high speed chase,” Reynolds said. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that the charge of driving on a suspended license was aggravated by the fact that Dodson went through the road check. “The only reason there was no high speed chase was because Deputy Settle couldn’t get around behind him (Dodson) soon enough,” Luke said. Luke said that there would be no objection to Dodson serving any jail sentence on weekends. For the charge of failure to stop for an offi.er, Judge Alexander fined Dodson $100 in addition to $20 costs, sentenced him to 10 days in jail with six of those days suspended. Dodson will be allowed to serve the four remaining days on two consecutive weekends. Judge Alexander reduced the charge of driving on a suspended license to driving with no operator’s license since Dodson has not gotten his license back due to financial circumstances. Dodson was fined aa additional $100 and received a suspended 30 day jail sentence for the reduced charge. He was also required to violate no laws for six months or he will have to serve the suspended jail time. Other cases decided Tuesday included: Jerry Lee Henry, drunk in public, $10/$20.

Lyle Updike Goings On In The Arts Street Dance And Conce t By LAURIE MARSHALL RAM' Many visitors to this area of V irginia have commented about a similarity between this region and parts of Vermont: the undulating, gentle mountains; the love of the land manifest by how people care for their farms and homes; the pride in being small. The county seat of Rappahannock, Washington, Virginia, will be hosting eight Vermonters who form the Brattleboro Brass Band Friday, August 2, at 8 p.m. in a combination Street Dance and Concert in front of the Gay St. Theater. The celebrated group of talented musicians draws on many American musical traditions: stomping marches from a 4th of July parade, wild improvisations from a New Orleans Dixieland Jazz Band, immigrant street Klezmer bands and pop tunes from 50 years of AM radio. Their instruments include piccolo, French horn, trumpet, trombone, saxophone, tuba, violin and drum. The band’s musical roots go back to 19th century quadrille bands, a form of French square dancing, which entertained generations of New Englanders at dances, weddings and civic and community events of all kinds. The group has since evolved into a concert ensemble, adding swing and classical pieces to its original repertoire of jigs, reels, marches, schottisches and waltzes. The Brattleboro Brass Band’s unique style and sound has evolved since their formation in 1981. They have performed with wide critical praise at Vermont’s Midsummer Festival, Pound Ridge Fiddle Festival in Cross River, New York, and Montpelier Capital City Spring Contradance. The street dance and concert on August 2 is being sp< red by the Rappahannock Associ ’ i for the Arts and the Community (' . VC) in cooperation with the Blue u t Concert Series. Please bring c a s and blankets for sitting and lister nj and your dancing feet for w'altzinj in the street. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students and senior citizens ($4 for RAAC members).

He says he’s not selling anything like he used to. For him, this summer is as bad as the past few have been. “It’s been slow,” he says. “Business doesn’t amount to anything because prices are high. People just aren’t buying like they used to. They’re not even buying apples.” at his stand, one driver stopped and bought a small basket of peaches for $1.50. “I hate to sell them for that much,” Atkins said, adding that he used to sell an entire bushel of apples for $1. “Things just aren’t the way they used to be.” Hanging from Atkins’ stand are multi-colored tapestries of Elvis Presley, John Wayne and other noted figures. They used to sell pretty well, but they don’t any more, said Atkins. What does Atkins do during the slow hours? “I just get over here and turn the radio on and listen to it for awhile.” Can he make ends meet? “As long as you get something to eat and wear, that’s all that’s going to do you any good.” Bernard and Thelma Jenkins of Sperryville have owned and managed a stand for the past few years. Thelma said in an interview that business is slower this year than last year. “People just don’t act like they want to buy.” And when people do buy “they’re not buying in large quantities.” The Jenkins grow their own vegetables and buy fruit from local growers. Thelma said this is normally a good time for selling vegetables; the reason they’re not selling, she thinks, is that so many people in the county have their own vegetable gardens. “It was a good spring,” said Thelma. “Nobody needs to buy any.” Peaches are in big demand at the Jenkins’ stand, but the supply doesn’t exist. Thelma noted that “people are asking for peaches by the bushel, but we just don’t have them.” Thelma hopes for a good fall and is even optimistic about it. She thinks business will pick up. Thelma is grateful to her regular customers, especially when business is slow. “We’ve got regular customers who come back year after year,” she said. At the Jenkins’ stand, the only items selling as they usually do are ciders and jellies. Eddie Burke of Sperryville is running a stand this summer for the first time. He doesn’t think business has been slow. The key, he says, is to know how to sell. “You can make money if you know how to run a stand.” One of Burke’s selling techniques is to stay open later than the rest of the stands. I “I get extra business that way,” he ' said. Peaches are selling best at Burke’s stand. To meet the demand, he just hauled 40 boxes of peaches from Columbia, S. C., to Sperryville. Geneva and Marshall Burke manage Burke’s Market in Sperryville. Geneva says business is fair but “not as good as it was last year.” She thinks that is because of the peach shortage. The best sellers this year at Burke’s Market are apples, corn and tomatoes. Does Geneva enjoy running the stand? “I like it if I can keep halfway busy. October is the best month.” Geneva says business is slow because of the poor economy, which forces people to buy only those things they really need. George and Pearl Hawkins have owned and managed a stand for 15 years. When interviewed, they had only been open for a week, so they felt it was too early to tell how business would be. However George did say that business so far was “nothing to brag about.” :*<SalcEstate Eileen M. Day wito* TIMING IS EVERYTHING “Timing is Everything’’. Whoever said it couldn't have been more on target. . . especially when it comes to buying or selling real estate. The late seventies and early eighties were tough years for most segments of the economy. The primary reason was high interest rates. As the cost of borrowing increased, the number of real estate buyers decreased. The window was closed on many who wanted to buy (or sell) real estate. The last few years have shown improvement. The window opened and we all hope it will remain open. However, some economists are concerned that if the huge federal deficit is not reduced, the amount of money Washington will be forced to borrow will cause interest rates to rise again. At what point the window would close again (if ever) is a matter of speculation. Experts agree, however, that now is a favorable time to buy or sell real estate.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member Audit Bureau of Circulation L-_ THURSDAY, JULY 25,1985 Another Perspective The Piedmont Environmental Council, brandishing the results of its recent study on the fiscal impacts of major land uses in Rappahannock County, claims to have answered once and for all the question of who carries the tax burden in the county. In an article opposite this page, PEC staff writer Daphne Hutchinson writes: “The argument over who is paying what continues unnecessarily. (The PEC study)...shows that farmers and owners of forest and open space land are paying their own way (in taxes) AND part of the homeowner’s, despite use value taxation.” In Hutchinson’s article, the point is repeatedly made that farmers and owners of open space land pay more in taxes than they get back in services. The difference subsidizes residential land use, according to the PEC study. The study claims that farmers shoulder the tax burden, not because they pay more in taxes, but because they get less for the taxes they pay. That point is an oddity in the traditional discussion of taxation. It has never been the American way to tax real estate, or much of anything else, on the basis of what services will be directly returned to the individual taxpayer. Real estate taxes are, and have been, progressive. Thus people pay on the basis of what they have and what the community needs. If we, the public, have never felt justified in taxing according to what the individual returns will be, then why, on that very basis, should we determine who carries the tax burden? After reviewing the PEC study, people without children in either of the county’s public schools may begin to wonder what return they’re getting for all the tax dollars spent on education. Are those people subsidizing adults with school-age children? Indeed they are, according to the rationale of the PEC study. We don’t believe that adults without children in school subsidize adults with children in school, any more than we believe that owners of open space land subsidize people in residential areas. People pay taxes on the basis of their assets, not to get an individual return, but to ensure the health of a community. Are people with open space land really carrying the tax burden or are they merely doing what people who own land have always done, namely: pay taxes on it? Most people don’t have any open space land, therefore they are not fortunate enough to be able to pay taxes on it. In reaching its conclusion that people with open space land carry the tax burden, the PEC seized upon data that, for instance, shows how few’ field and forest fires are put out compared with residential fires. Taken as a microcosm, that statistic is supposed to prove that owners of open space land subsidize the putting out of residential fires. That point is misleading. It is not the case that, because fewer actual fires are put out on open space land, owners of open space land receive less of a service from the fire department. The primary task of a fire department is to provide constant insurance that fires, once started, will be put out. The service is in the insurance, and everybody gets that to an equal degree. Also, we believe the putting out of a fire, regardless of its location, is a service to everybody in the county. Presumably it is in the interest of a farmer to drive into Sperryville and not find the charred remains of a town. Our point is that the return on taxes cannot be quantified for a particular land use. In general, everybody benefits, directly or indirectly, from all services rendered in the county. To say that farmers get no return for their taxes when fires are put out in towns is a highly questionable claim - a claim which the PEC study implicitly makes. Without question, fewer direct services go to open space land. But surely it is the owners of open space land who have the biggest stake in the availability of those services. Those with open space land, after all, have the largest holdings. They, more than anybody else, rely for the security of their property on the maintenance of society. All of this is not to say that we oppose the preservation of open space land. We are very much for it. What we do mean to say is that it is neither helpful nor correct to hail one group in the county as the carrier of the tax burden. COMING UP AT R.C.H.S.

Unwilling to wait for a more evolutionary unfolding of social and political growth, the Thirteen Colonies rebelled against their legally constituted authority. It has been said that to rebel against Caesar is to rebel against God, and Jesus’ teachings to render unto Caesar what was Caesar's, and unto God what was God’s, bear it out. Rebellion came into the universe by way of Lucifer, who refused to recognise God’s supernal government, and armed revolutions have been the result. History shows us that our revolution against England began in the 1600s with the Puritans, who drew close to God with their lips w’hile committing all kinds of evils agaist the dignity and liberty of children of God. Ironically, the flag they flew to symbolize their rebellion was a solid red banner, from which had been removed a white cross. Their rebellion ruined the Puritan theocracy, but their teachings were carried forward in spirit in the university they founded, Harvard. There they festered until the first shots at Concord. The religion of the Puritans is alive today and is the basis of our public religion, the one which enables our leaders of yesterday and today to speak high sounding words about God while they systematically destroy villages, towns, cities, nations and peoples. This is a religion without belief, a religion which is used for control, the religion which rightfully has been termed “the opiate of the masses.” Real religion suffers at its hands. The Christ of the spirit becomes a hidden Flicker Solutions To the editor: One of our members recently sent us an article that appeared in the May 16, 1985, Rappahannock News, concerning the destructive habits of flickers in pecking holes in wooden houses. The Audubon Naturalist Society, an independent nonprofit nature education and conservation organization headquartered in Chevy Chase, Maryland, receives many such calls each year, so we feel somewhat ready to answer the whys and wherefores of such behavior. Although the article did not mention the exact cause of such pecking, a variety of possibilities exists. Insects such as carpenter ants might have invaded the wood, and the flickers were just looking for an easy meal. (As the article points out, ants are a favorite food of the flicker.) An understanding homeowner might therefore use the flicker’s pecking as an early warning system to investigate possible damage by insects to his or her home. Damaged, soft or rotted wood looks and feels like dead wood to a flicker. Might the flicker be trying to tell the homeowner that some repairs are in order? The pecking may be part of “territorial drumming'’ during the mating season, provoked in part by the reflection of the bird in a window. It is also speculated that “housepeckers” are young, inexperienced or less competitive birds. treasure rather than an open door because individuals are repelled by public religion’s lying hypocrisy that has turned the way to eternal life into a curse. Yet there is no doubt that once God’s will was transgressed and the American Revolution was begun it became God’s will for this nation to be victorious! We have a role to fulfill in destiny. The United States is the pattern for a future planetary government, which also shall-unless prophecy fails - come into existence amid the birth pangs of war. . .nuclear war in the Mid East. * People say. will man never learn? Under the tutelage of the supernal initiators of a brand new era, and the inspiration of an outpouring of the divinely feminine Spirit of God, the Mother of us all, we shall, and soon (by 1995). Next 4th of July, however, instead of praising our own warlike natures and abilities, let’s thank God for the lesson in Jonah, which may reduce the extent of evil coming upon the world. For when that prophet complained that God had not destroyed Nineveh according to the future scenario he had been commanded to preach, God told him that it was good to spare such stupid people. Let’s use the 4th to hope that God will likewise spare a people that are too intelligent, whose evil creations, that they have evolved from simple firecrackers and rockets can bring about the destruction of life on earth. Let’s look forward to the new “concord" - a harmony of race, age, sex and religious orientation, as well as an economic leveling in which no longer shall the majority sit as groundlings and second-class citizens under the rulership of the few in the manor house on the hill! PETER B. HOLLEY Washington The flickers may be responding to loss of habitat as many natural wood homes are being built in woods or in clearings. Of course, it’s fine to know why the birds do such things, but it’s more important to know how to prevent it. Some suggestions from the Audubon Naturalist Society are: 1. Have your house checked by a reputable pest-control company to make sure it is not harboring unwanted insects. Nearby trees should also be checked. Painted, stained or treated wood is less interesting to woodpeckers than raw wood. 2. Check your grandfather’s clock. Such clocks or other machines with loud ticking noises can mislead a flicker into thinking that insects are nearby. 3. Offer alternatives. A suet bag might tempt away an insect forager and a woodpecker box might offer a good alternative to a nester. 4. Discourage. Rather than use poisons (it’s illegal for homeowners or exterminators to kill woodpeckers), stuff rags soaked in vinegar or Clorox in holes. Use other forms of discouragement: bobbing balloons, strings of pie pans, rubber snakes, silhouettes of hawks, owls or crows. We hope that these recommendations will help your readers combat the more annoying behavior of flickers and enjoy their more endearing qualities.

Ms. Crescenti was probably remembering the days when she was the Rappahannock Site Coordinator and the Area Agency on Aging operated its own vehicles as a separate program. For the past several years, the Community Services Center has operated a comprehensive transit system that provides 48 routes a day servicing the general public, contracted service to other agencies as well as transporting our own Center clients representing the disparate aging, mental health, retardation and substance abuse populations. Our funding for this system is primarily from the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation with additional support from a variety of other State agencies. Ms. Crescenti is incorrect in stating these vehicles “belong to the people who ride them.” Since the vans are essentially paid for by all taxpayers in Virginia, the vehicles instead belong to the general public. Our Center and the 15-member Community Services Board responsible for this organization assume that the public is interested in these vans being operated in the most safe and cost efficient manner possible to benefit the greatest number of clients and consumers who use the system. The Center operates 27 vehicles that are dispatched daily at the sole discretion of our Transportation Coordinator. Vehicles are matched to routes writh concern for mileage, van occupancy and vehicle condition. This assignment procedure is common to all professionally operated transit systems. Our obligation to the Rappahannock Seniors is the same obligation we hold for the entire Planning District: to offer safe, reliable and cost-efficient transportation. As we all know, public tax dollars have consistently declined over the past several years and funds to purchase replacement vehicles are difficult to come by. This makes our Center’s priority of operating the equipment we do have in the most efficient manner possible all the more critical. In the past, as in the present, Rappahannock clients have been served by both new and older equipment. Ms. Crescenti erroneously indicates that “for years” Rappahannock clients were solely provided with “the oldest vans in the fleet." This simply isn’t true. Prior to the blue van which Ms. Crescenti believes to be “lost,” the Rappahannock Seniors rode a new custom Chevrolet 12-passenger van. Given sufficient funds, we would like to be able to offer all Center riders consistent access to all new vehicles. Unfortunately, permanent assignment of any van, old or new, to one program site with no consideration to the length of the route, number of riders, mileage, etc. would constitute an irresponsible and wasteful use of this equipment purchased by the taxpayers and entrusted to our Center to operate with care and efficiency. We can assure the citizens of Rappahannock that the “lost van” has indeed neither been misplaced nor misused. Rather, this morning the 21 blue van, to which Ms. Crescenti refers, was operating on the busy Culpeper'Fauquier corridor, covering six separate routes and being used appropriately to best meet the needs of our clients and the community.

FFC Study Shows Farms Subsidize Houses In County By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON PEC SUIT WriUr Who carries the tax burden in Rappahannock County? Ask the fellow who owns a house and five acres. Odds are, he’ll answer, “I do. There’s no industry in this county to speak of and the farmers are getting a break with land use taxation. That only leaves us home owners. We’re carrying the burden.” Ask the farmer and the orchardist, and they’ll insist they’re carrying a disproportionate load. At budget time every year, the argument is replayed. The debate grows louder as more landowners join Agricultural and Forestal Districts and qualify for deferred taxes through the use value assessment program while demands for services-and tax dollars spiral as Rappahannock’s population begins to climb, reversing the downward trend of the past three decades. The argument over who is paying what continues unnecessarily. A new study conducted by the Warrentonbased Piedmont Environmental Council shows that farmers and owners of forest and open space land are paying their own way AND part of the homeowner’s, despite use value taxation. It comes as no surprise to Rappahannock’s farmers to learn that they give more in taxes than they get in services from local government. “I haven’t run the figures through but common sense tells you that farmers are paying more than their share,” said Newbill Miller, cattle producer. “We all know open space land doesn’t call for spending tax money,” said orchardist H. B. Wood. “Houses-and the people who live in houses -demand the services that require spending tax money.” “I knew because of the population and the amount of land involved in farming here (34 percent of Rappahannock’s area compared to two percent considered developed) that the percentage of taxes spent on residential land was far higher than what is spent on open land,” said farmer A. Y. Stokes, planning commissioner and former member of the school board. But while Rappahannock’s farmers say they’ve known all along that they pay their own way and then some, it took PEC’s detective work to turn up the proof. A study of the fiscal impact of ma jor land uses conducted by PEC economist Tamara Vance shows that for every dollar collected in taxes from Rappahannock’s farms, forests and open spaces, 17 cents is spent on services supplied to those same land use categories. Or, from another perspective, only 17 percent of the taxes paid by the farmer or woodlot owner goes to provide services that the farmer or woodlot owner needs. The same lopsided ratio applies to industrial and commercial property, For every dollar collected in taxes on business property, 23 cents is spent on services to those businesses. Where do taxes paid by farmers and business operators go? The remainder-83 percent in the farmer’s case, 47 percent in the business person’s - goes to subsidize residential development, according to PEC’s study. “This ought to hush up a lot of people who are saying that the small lot owner is carrying the tax burden,” said beef cattleman Mike Massie. “I wonder what the difference was before. I thought that with land use the difference would even out.” Development Doesn’t Pay The study challenges the popular belief that residential growth expands the tax base and thereby contributes to the county’s economic health. Residential development does bring improvements that raise both the assessed value of real estate and the county’s revenue from real estate taxes, but residential development simultaneously increases demand for public services, particularly schools, police, fire and rescue, and solid waste disposal. PEC’s study shows that the cost of providing those services outstrips the additional tax revenue brought in by residential development. In Rappahannock’s case, $1.20 is spent on providing county services for every dollar collected in taxes from residential land. The imbalance is clearer when viewed in terms of total intake and output: - Residential land generates $2,700,000 in revenue and requires services which cost the county $3,300,000. (MINUS $552,000) -Farms, forests and open space generate $591,000 in revenue and require expenditures of $100,000. The revenue figure includes the deferral for use-value taxation. (PLUS $491,000) NOTICE OF PROPOSED TARIFF REVISIONS FOR ACCESS SERVICE TO CUSTOMERS OF CENTRAL TELEPHONE COMPANY - VIRGINIA Notice is given that Central Telephone Company of Virginia filed on July 2, 1995 with the Federal Communications Commission revised rates and practices for the provision of interstate access service under Centel Telephone Companies Tariff FCC No. 1. The Tariff is scheduled to become effective on October 1, 1985. A copy of the Tariff may be examined at the Company’s business office located at 1924 Arlington Blvd., Charlottesville, Virginia. Central Telephone Company of Virginia - Industrial and commercial properties generate $180,000 and require expenditures of $69,000. (PLUS $61,000. However, if commercial activity results in new residential development, that positive balance will shift, PEC’s study notes.) For the study, tax revenue collected from residences on farms is counted in the residential category, separate from the revenue derived from farm land itself. This was done for three reasons. First, a farm house demands the same services that other residences require. While it’s obvious that cows don’t ride school buses, it’s just as obvious that a farmer’s children do. Second, farm land and farm residences are separated under the use value assessment program. Each residence and the lot on which the residence sits is taxed at fair market value, even though part of the land in the same parcel may be assessed at use value. “1 don’t think most people realize that farmers pay the same rate as everybody else does on their house, their County’s Services Examined How many hours do Sheriff John Henry Woodward’s deputies spend policing Rappahannock County’s open spaces and farm fields? What percentage of the department’s time-and budget-do those hours represent? What percentage of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s calls are field and forest fires? How many of the cases heard by General District Court Judge John Alexander are related to open land as opposed to businesses and residences? Those are a few of the questions Tamara Vance answered in compiling the Piedmont Environmental Council’s study on the fiscal impact of major land uses in Rappahannock County. In order to determine fiscal impact, she had to know where the county’s money comes from and where it goes. She started on the revenue side. The county budget showed what percentage of total revenue is derived from the federal and state governments - all credited to business and residential land uses - and what percentage is raised from local levies. For a breakdown on local sources, she turned to the Commissioner of Revenue’s Office and to the back page, the recapitulation page, in the county’s land book. There, the origin of real estate revenue is detailed; the amount raised by the levy on each category of land- commercial, residential, farm and forest-is given. “That’s the most important part of the revenue picture for rural counties,” Vance noted. Rappahannock has other local sources of income but the land use category to which each should be assigned was obvious. Professional license taxes were alloted to business (comihercial), motor vehicle taxes to business and residential, utility taxes and bank franchise taxes to business. Once she knew where the money came from, Vance tracked down where it went. Was it spent for residential land, commercial property or farm fields, forests and open spaces? She took the county budget again. For every expenditure listed, she talked to someone who knew which land use was involved in that expenditure. The biggest outlay was the easiest. The cost of education, which accounts for approximately 80 percent of Rappahannock’s spending, be longs with residential land use. Health and welfare was another easy one. Again, everything - except for the time and money spent by the Health Department on inspecting and licensing commercial establishments - was allocated to residential land uses. But for other expenditures, it was like taking a restaurant bill for 12 people and figuring out who ordered the hamburger, who ordered the chefs salad and who had the sirloin. Under general government, Vance questioned Supervisor Hubert Gilkey III about the time the board spent considering such farm related matters as agricultural district applications. She found out from Commissioner of Revenue Merle Scoggins what percentage of her time could be charged to processing land use tax applications. In dividing expenditures for justice and public safety, Vance quizzed the fire chiefs of the county’s five companies on the number of calls to field fires compared to the number of calls to fires at homes and businesses. She learned from Sheriff Woodward how many police hours went to protecting open land from vandalism. Under the heading of community development, she thumbed through zoning files to get the number of permits issued for residences, for businesses and for barns or other farm structures. Vance made a few judgments, but she maintains they had little impact since, taken together, they amounted to less than five percent of expenditures. Vance’s work for the Piedmont Environmental Council is only the second time a study of this type has been undertaken. (The first was done by Rich Caulderon from Loudoun County’s planning department.) News of her reports on the fiscal impact of major land uses in Albemarle, Clarke, Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock and Orange counties was carried by a national forestry publication. “Since then, people from all over have written to request a copy of what I’ve done,” she said. One planner from Cape Cod even visited PEC’s Warrenton 'ffices to learn her methods first hand. “He wanted to see if our study >u i be adapted to use in their tigl o preserve undeveloped beach property in Truro,” Vance reported. “He tried it and just a few weeks ago, I got a letter from him - they won!” car, their truck,” Massie said. The deferral for use value applies only to undeveloped land, “land that doesn’t demand services,” a fact often overlooked in debates over the county’s tax structure, he added. Third, people and their related revenues are all put in one category in order to break down county services into comparable categories. Fiscal Impact Only One Factor In her summary' Vance acknowledges that fiscal impact is only one factor in land use planning. Local government must also consider provision of adequate housing, creation of jobs, protection of the environment and the health of Rappahannock’s various economic sectors. But fiscal impact should play an important part in planning, the PEC study points out, and because of the net financial gain it brings the county, the protection of open land should be a priority. The study also suggests that to help assure that the net contribution from industrial and commercial land is not eroded, local government should encourage business which employs local residents rather than business which will import its own employees. Additional people, even if brought in by new commercial ventures, demand more services. Accordingly, attraction of the right kind of business to Rappahannock County can play a critical role in preserving farm and forest land and other open space. That policy of preservation is the crux of PEC’s findings: “This study indicates that encouraging the protection of open land is not merely an indulgence for wealthy communities but rather is fiscally responsible public policy,” Vance’s report reads. In the last two years, opposition to land use taxation has coalesced. In particular, those working for improvements to the county’s educational system have called for a re-examination of the use value assessment program, arguing that tax money is being “lost to land use.” Once the people of Rappahannock learn who’s shouldering the tax burden, will that opposition to land use dwindle? Will advocates of quality education stop regarding farmers as the enemy? Newbill Miller knew what PEC’s study would prove before the results were ever released. “I didn’t expect the picture to change at all with land use. Still, absolutely, the farmer is paying for himself and a little for everybody else.” He doesn’t expect PEC’s findings to have any impact on public opinion in Rappahannock. “People want services that will take a tax increase but they want somebody else to pay that increase. It’s human nature,” Miller said. “If opponents of land use were interested in the facts, they would have analyzed the situation on their own. They’d know that open space saves them money. Every time a farm is turned into building lots, it costs the taxpayers money. So it’s in their best interest to encourage the farmer to keep farming instead of selling out to a developer. That’s common sense.” “So many people are misinformed,” said A. Y. Stokes. “I’ve talked to some. I don’t know how to reach them. I can’t get through. There’s a stigma against farmers. And then that tax bill hits them right between the eyes. That has more of an impact than anything you can say to explain (the fiscal impact of Rappahannock’s different land uses).” Mike Massie hopes that information will sway public opinion back solidly in favor of use value taxation as a tool to preserve and prop ct farm and forest land and Rappahannock - struggling agricultural industry, but he isn’t sure. “When the pocket book is hit hard, people just don’t listen.” H. B. Wood is more optimistic. He recalled that the county’s old assessment system resulted in de facto land use; farm land was assessed lower than louse lots, pasture land less than cultivated fields, wooded acreage lower than orchards. “We almost had land use - unofficially. But the 100 percent assessment brought the value of farm and wooded land so high, it shifted the tax burden from an equal sharing between houses and farms onto farms and woodlands,” Wood maintained. The adoption of use value taxation did nothing more than equalize the tax burden a little bit, he said. “Without use value, it would have all fallen on the farmer. ” He believes that the general public perceives farmers as paying little or nothing toward running the county. PEC’s study shows otherwise, “and if people are aware of the facts, they’re less apt to be against use value taxation,” Wood said. “That is, if they’re the kind of people I think they are. If they’re fair people. ” SIDEWALK DAYS SALE JULY 26 & 27 Savings up to 50% off on summer stock!

H., to spend two weeks here. This is an annual trip for David, and one that he enjoys very much. Another grandchild is visiting in Castleton this week. She is Lynn Fridenstine, the 14-year-old granddaughter of Donald and Helen Fridenstine. She’s having a wonderful time shopping and swimming. Lynn is from Lancaster, Va. That brings us to the wise words of George E. Woodberry, who once wrote, “It is nice to feel the atmosphere of love round you once in a while, and nobody out of tune.” Grandparents are the greatest! More people are trying to keep cool during this hot, sticky season. Sam and Cherry Vanneman are very happy to have an air-conditioned house. What’s worse, the humidity or those flying bugs outside? Your correspondent has taken the kids and dear mom on a couple of all day trips to Ocean City, Md., recently. It takes five hours to get there, five hours of fun and five hours to dnve back. Some people say this is insane but we sure had a splendid time. There’s nothing like the sun and the surf to rejuvenate the blood! Speaking of rejuvenation, the aerobics workouts are getting tough in this thick, hot weather! Even so, we keep on kicking those legs out and swinging those arms to that never ending, peppy music. And my, how nice it is to see those puny muscles starting to show strength and endurance! As Jane Fonda says, “Make it burn!” Viewtown Area Social News Mr. and Mrs. Milton Switzer, Jr., Keith, Michael, Michele and John spent a weeks vacation in Charlotte, North Carolina at the Heritage USA, a Christian resort.

He s really a capital fellow. Friencily, agreeable, always faithful. It's just a shame that folks judge Chumley by appearances. There is one place in our community where folks are learning to see one another and the world through honest eyes. It's the Church. As we learn more about the power and love of God we begin to gain a deeper understanding of His creation. We behold nature with reverent appreciation of its awe and wonder. We see people as reflections — however imperfect — of their Maker. The Church is constantly stressing our spiritual potential helping us become the people God intends us to be!

But did you know that without honeybees you wouldn’t be enjoying those crisp cucumbers in your summer salad or those juicy apples in the fall? In fact, as much as one-third of our total diet in this country is derived from insect-]pollinated plants, explains Lisa Lafoon, marketing specialist with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Even the meat and dairy industries depend on the honeybee for pollination of the seeds of legume crops, which make up a major part of the feed for livestock. The honeybee is also important to us for the delicious, sweet honey it produces. For thousands of years honey has been used as a sweetening agent. When buying honey, be sure it is pure honey and not a high fructose syrup, sometimes marketed as honey. Look for Virginia honey, as opposed to the many imported varieties on the market. Virginia honey comes in a variety of types and flavors. The most common type is liquid, where the honey is extracrted from the wax comb. Honey is also marketed in the comb; chunk style, which is liquid containing a piece / Summer > Clearance SALE 50% OFF r ENTIRE SUMMER STOCK SALE STARTS JULY 25 Hours: Mon.'-Fri. 10-8, Sat 10-6 Major Credit Cards Accepted Layaway & Ivy Door Charge 368-9000 Westgate Plaza 8027 Sudley Road, Manassas th£ Ivy©oor WEEKEND SPECIAL 38700 WhifhxK)!

Flavors of Virginia honey are influenced by the trees or plants from which the bees collect the nectar. Tulip poplar honey is the most common in the state. It is distinguished by a dark reddish color and full-bodied flavor. In fact, small amounts of poplar are added to other varieties to add color. Another popular Virginia flavor is sourwood, a light-colored honey from the Appalachian foothills region. Honey will keep for prolonged periods of time if properly stored in tightly closed containers in your cupboard. Different varieties crystallize at different rates. Most Virginia varieties are slow to crystallize. Crystallization does not harm the honey, which can be easily reliquefied by heating. Simply loosen cap and place jar in hot, but not boiling, water. We all know how delicious honey tastes served on hot buttered toast, pancakes, waffles, muffins and biscuits. Honey can also be used as a substitute for all or part of the sugar in many cooked or baiked products. One cup of honey is equal to 1 1/4 cups sugar in many recipes. When substituting honey, reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each cup of honey used. Since honey is more acid than sugar, add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda for each cup of honey. Here are some suggestions for using naturally sweet Virginia honey: Blend honey in equal amounts with butter, peanut butter, jelly, apple butter or whipped cream as a spread for tonst, muffins, biscuits, etc. Drizzle over fresh fruits, salads, cereals, ice cream or mix with whipped cream to top gelatin desserts, spice cakes or gingerbread. Mix with equal amount of water for a liquid sweetener. Keep refrigerated and use to sweeten hot milk drinks, tea, lemonade, egg nog, etc. Make sandwich fillings by blending with cream cheese and chopped nuts, chopped dried fruits or grated orange peel.

Once Around Rappahannock History Comes To Life Through Record Collection D.. I 4 XT n a vm tty JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer Some people might say that Dick Pierson is living in the past. He does not listen to the radio or to any music that dates past the 1940s unless done in the “old-time” style, and he rarely reads anything written after the 1800s or early 1900s. Dick is living in the present, though, in Rappahannock near Amissville. His concern with the past, especially its music, is in preserving it and understanding its history. “I learn things from the recordings - things that were left out of the history books and encyclopedias,” Dick said. “I read books from the period just so I can better understand what the lyrics mean.” There are a lot of lyrics for Dick to study since he has collected upwards of 50,000 titles. He has not been able to count the number of recordings. The oldest recording in his collection dates back to 1888 when the first phonographs had been developed. Those early recordings were made by a company known as Victor (now RCA-Victor) and were of a banjo player named Vess Aussman. The early recordings may be scratchy, but Dick would still rather listen to them than to anything being done musically today. “I’ve tried listening to songs done after 1940, but I found that most of them just didn’t have anything to say,” Dick said. “Today’s music is commercial, and if any music shows realism or compassion, it isn’t wanted.” Dick began listening to music while growing up in Ohio. “My parents had stacks of records that I used, so I grew up listening to the Carter Family and others,” Dick said. “I started listening to the radio, but I didn’t like what I heard, so I started collecting records.” Dick’s search for records soon extended past his relatives and friends. “When I had gotten all of the recordings my neighbors had and what the town had, I started going to thrift shops and anywhere else I could think of where old records could be,” Dick said. Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley RECORD COLLECTING is a hobby to which Dick Pierson devotes a lot of time, but he earns a living with his calligraphy work.

C., and he once commuted every day when he first moved to Rappahannock in 1968. Now, however, he usually has to go to D. C. once or twice a week. The rest of his time he spends working at home or down in the basement taping and listening. He has recordings and knowledge of artists that most people have never heard of besides artists whose fame still lives like Louis Armstrong, Enrico Caruso and A1 Jolson. Dick has collected some rare recordings including a Caruso picture record and a record made by Valentino that he was not pleased with, but that was released after his death. “I can collect recordings of certain people, and I know that I will like the record before I even hear it,” Dick said. To the casua listener, many of the recordings may seem corny or even silly, but to Dick they are full of human stories and feelings. “There are love songs, but they aren’t like today’s love songs,” Dick said. “Some people think that they’re too romantic, but the love songs from the past are as good as they get.” Some of the songs that seem silly have stories behind them, like what was being talked about in the nation or the artist’s personal history, that give the songs meaning. “Sometimes the artists would make fun of themselves or of society in the songs, and through the years people have started to believe that they meant what the lyrics were literally,” Dick said. “Certain artists would change their names and do different styles of songs.” He said that most people who criticize songs that have survived from the early recording years would be surprised to hear the original versions. “I began to wonder why songs like ‘School Days’, which was written in 1902, have hung ir ”id all of these years,” Dick said. “Then I trace the song back to the original version, and I find all of the beautiful verses and music that has been done away with just to make the song commercial.” Dick has met as many of the old recording artists as possible- artists like . George Jessel, Mother Mabel Carter and the other members of the Carter family. He also has a four-hour radio show every Sunday on WKCW in Warrenton when he plays selections from his classic country collection. Dick said that today’s country music has also gone the route of commercialization. “In Australia, country, or folk, artists are taking poetry and setting it to music,” Dick said. “I wish that our singers would start doing that.” Dick is afraid that knowledge of the past’s music will eventually die out altogether along with requests for the music. Some artists sure hardly ever requested now. “We have all of this knowledge of mankind’s history, so why should we limit ourselves to last month’s anything,” Dick said. “If the words were good in 1910, why wouldn’t they be good today? “I tell my children, ‘You don’t have the top 40 songs, you have the top 40,000 to choose from.’ I just can’t let them die.” P (■JCOnVflLG// ^WHEELCHAIRS FOR RENT JUST 99* a Day Standard adult chair with “lag rfcta” Minimum 7 dsya SAVE TIME & MONEY CALL US FIRST (703) 293*9047 NEXT TO THE PLAINS PHARMACY We Bill Your Insurance v..~ We Deliver ^ Building a Backyard Project?

Republican Ticket Plans Visit To Fauquier County In August All three Republican candidates for statewide office this year will visit Fauquier County early next month. Gubernatorial candidate Wyatt B. Durrette, lieutentant governor nominee John Chichester and attorney general hopeful W.R. “Buster” O’Brien are expected to attend an Aug. 3 barbecue at Northern Virginia building contractor William A. Hazel’s Huntly Farm near Broad Run. U.S. Sen. Paul Trible (R-Va.) and former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr. will be among speakers at the fund-raiser. Tickets, $25 per person, may be obtained by sending checks to: Jim Rich, Fauquier Republican Chairman, P.O. Box 397, The Plains, Va. 22171. Route 17 project approved The widening of Route 17 between Warrenton and Marshall — including improvement of the infamous “Bethel Curve” — will start next July, with completion expected in 1989. The State Highway and Transportation Board unanimously voted Thursday to widen the narrow, serpetine 10mile stretch road in northern Fauquier County. Except for three minor changes, the plan was approved as presented at a May 14 public hearing in Warrenton where highway officials heard opposition to the $8.7 million widening for the first time. Until the road is widened, the affected section of Route 17 and Route 15 between Interstate 66 and Route 29 in Prince William County, will remain closed to tractor trailers. Loudoun supervisors support state bonds for roads With Loudoun County facing millions of dollars in needed road improvements, the board of supervisors approved a resolution last Wednesday supporting “in concept” a statewide bond issue of “at least $500 million” for road construction. The resolution, approved unanimously, backs either revenue or general obligation bonds for the improvements. Revenue bonds could be approved by the General Assembly alone, while general obligation bonds would require assembly and voter approval in a referendum. “With our road needs, I think we ought to be out in front” on the issue, said board Chairman Frank Raflo (DLeesburg) during a meeting of the board’s Legislative Committee, which recommended the resolution to the fall board. “We should take some leadership in this because it’s our roads that are in trouble,” he said. Although supervisors agreed that more money is needed, there was some disagreement in committee over which type of bonds should be used. Raflo supported the revenue bond approach, and a two-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline to pay off the bonds. He said that would have a better chance of passing than a bond issue going to the voters. A list of road projects would be agreed upon by the assembly, and Many of you are being asked to choose a long distance company. But if you don’t choose, you’ll be assigned one-and it might not be AT&T. You could wind up losing the quality and service you’ve come to depend on from AT&T. Connections that sound as close as next door. Immediate connections-even at the busiest hours. And should you ever have a problem on the line, AT&T has operators to help you. Only ART offers you immediate credit for wrong numbers, as well as person-to-person and collect calling. With other long distance companies, the quality of voice transmission may vary. It may be difficult to get through during busy hours. And you might not have operator service. They may also charge you more than you expect, depending on when and where you call. So when you’re looking for a long distance company to help you tell your stories-to help you laugh and to sharechoose the one you’ve always been able to depend on for reliability and quality of service. Take a moment and send in your ballot. Or dial the toll-free number below between 9 am and 5 pm Monday through Friday to keep AT&T. Reach out and touch someone”. To keep AT&T as your long distance company call one of these toll-free numbers. cus^i 800 222-0300 ^1800 222-0400 AT&T * The right choice. Ratio said people in many counties and cities might vote against the bond issue if their projects aren’t included in it. But the board’s liaison to the assembly, Memory Porter, disagreed, saying she believes the “political reality” in Richmond would tend to favor putting the question to the voters, particularly if the legislature were to establish a precedent in using bond revenue to pay for roads. Porter said she expects a battle in Richmond over what road projects are included. Bike races due in Clarke Sunday July 21 at 9 a.m., 28 “ultra marathon” bicyclists left Huntington Beach in sunny southern California on the world’s longest bicycle race. Less than nine days later, the first of those cyclists is expected to pedal through Clarke County in the final leg of their grueling cross-country race for a $20,000 purse. In only three years, the ocean-toocean Race Across America has become one of the most popular bicycle races in the country. The non-stop 3,136-mile race will end in Atlantic City, N.J. White Post, Boyce and Berryville are among the hundreds of communities, big and small, which will see the racers pass through. The leaders are expected here about 3 a.m. Tuesday, July 30. Three females are among the racers. The race, sponsored by the Great American Chocolate Chip Cookie Co., is considered the toughest endurance event in all of sports. ABC Sports, which won an Emmy for its coverage of the innaugural race in 1982, will again tape the race and will broadcast it in the spring of 1986. Driver indicted for manslaughter A Manassas woman was indicted Monday in Fauquier County Circuit Court for involuntary manslaughter because her passenger died after she lost control of her car and wrecked June 23 on Route 29. The grand jury also indicted Carolyn Bear Moore, 29, of 9023 Centreville Road, on one count of driving under the influence. Larry Eugene Roadcap, 35, of Manassas, died from the accident a halfmile south of Warrenton. Moore was one of 12 people indicted on 23 felony charges Monday in Fauquier Circuit Court. County to study sewer demands The Fauquier Water and Sanitation Authority last week announced it will begin studying ways in which it can expand and upgrade the county’s sewer capacity. WSA board member Nathan Hale (Center District) suggested Fauquier’s recent building boom will require the county to rely less on drainfields and more on a sewer system to dispose of waste. Mr. Hale said it is unknown how much longer the drainfields will be able to absorb and distill sewage. If left unattended, the fields would reach capacity and could create severe water pollution problems, he said. The options include builing a new sewage treatment plant to serve the New Baltimore area or pumping sewage to the Remington treatment plant. Economics will determine the coures of action, he said, adding that it would be two or three months before any specific recommendations on the matter would be made. Bush lo campaign for Durrette RICHMOND—Vice President George Bush will come to Richmond Aug. 7 to campaign for Wyatt B. Durrette Jr., the Republican candidate for governor. President Reagan had been scheduled to come July 30 but had to cancel because of his cancer operation. The White House then indicated that a vice presidential visit may be arranged and a date was confirmed within 24 hours,” Durrette said Friday. The Bush visit will include a reception and luncheon at the Richmond Marriott Hotel. Clarke school fund grows The Clarke County Board of Supervisors reluctantly added half-million dollars last week to the $4 million it previously promised for new school construction. But the supervisors also sent the School Board a message that the amount will have to do the job because no further requests for more money will be considered in the near future. The supervisors agreed to raise their spending ceiling in response to a letter from the School Board asking for a two-phase project, with $5 million going for a basic new high school, and $1.5 million coming at a later date to add such “amenities” as athletic fields, vocational shops and possibly an auditorium. No time schedule was suggested for the second phase. The School Board previously had held out for $6 million to build a new high school. The supervisors prefer a $3.5 million intermediate school and improvements to the existing high school.

Also special thanks to Rev. Bob Rooper May God bless each and everyone. Beatrice Sheppard Sperryville In loving memory of Junior Hawkins, who passed away three years ago on July 27,1982. I AM NOT THEE Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stare that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I did not die. Robert Hepburn With Love, wife Betty, daughters April and Crystal Hawkins In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Jimmy Brady, Jim, It's been a long and sad year for us since you left to go to work on that Monday morning, July 23,1984. Little did we know that you would not be returning home to us. Oh, how we cried and prayed that the bad news we received about you would be false. But were soon to learn that it was true. Even though we know God knows best, we can’t help but to ask why, when you were so young and good, and we loved you so very much. But we know that God loved you too and he needed a very special person in heaven with him so he chose you because he knew you were one of the very best. So please God watch over our Jim for us and please help us to go on without him. We love you Jim and miss you more every day. Our love, Mom, Dad, Diane, Jeanette Tony, Billy, Steve and Ben We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all our family and friends for the food, flowers, telephone calls, visits, prayers and other acts of kindness during the death of our Dad, Hugh J.

Ferguson, Commissioner of the Department of the Aging, announced recently the issues to be addressed at the Virginia Silver-Haired Legislature scheduled for July 29-31 in Richmond. The legislature will follow the rules which govern the operation of the Virginia General Assembly with a few adjustments due to the short length of the session. The Silver-Haired Legislature will be composed of seven joint committees: general laws, health and institutions, social services, housing and education, labor and commerce, courts of justice and finance. Twenty-seven bills and nine resolutions have been drafted by the Virginia Division of Legislative Services for the Silver-Haired Legislators’ consideration.

Library Debate (Continued from Page 1) bility of adding onto the present library building. It was noted at the meeting that a tentative plan for expansion would meet all zoning requirements except one. The ordinance requires a building to be set back at least 15 feet from another property line. The tentative plan does not meet that requirement. The plan, if carried out, would extend the back of the library to a point that comes within 15 feet of a portion of property owned by Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch. Accordingly, a variance would have to be granted before going ahead with the plan. At the joint meeting, Colonel Luke, chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Jamieson, also a trustee, were authorized to determine the feasibility of adding onto the library. Their first task was to find out about the possibility of getting a variance, or of removing the need for a variance. The only way to get around the need for a variance would be for O’Connell and Lynch to donate to the library the portion of their land that would come within 15 feet of the expansion. Jamieson has contacted both O’Connell and Lynch about this, and they are said to be considering the idea. In an effort to find out whether the library could get a variance, Jamieson has met with each Town Council member to show them drawings of the proposed expansion. After talking with each council member, Jamieson said none was “averse to the idea” of grant ing a variance to the library. On July 10, Jamieson went to the regular Town Council meeting to inquire further about a variance for the library. Mayor Peter Kramer told her the Town Council no longer has the authority to hear variance requests because of its decision to form a town BZA. The problem is that the BZA members have vet to be chosen. Kramer said he will ask the Circuit Court judge to make the appointments as soon as possible. In the meantime, the debate over how to create more library space continues. According to Colonel Luke, the issue is not new. He says it has been brewing in various forms for about as long as the library has been around. Farm Show Entries NUGGETSOFTRUTH | By REV. ROBERT DUNPHY Family Worship Center, Washington. Va. 9 9 9 \ DO YOU WANT A CLOSER WALK WITH JESUS? (Part 2) Last week we told you there were 4 f areas of faith that were very important We w talked about really knowing the character of £ God. I pray you received that. The Bible says in Rom. 10:17 "So than faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God." Hearing is to receive the word in your spirit. When the Bible speaks of the heart, it means spirit, by the most part. So, if you have built your foundation, read Col. 1:9-29 #1 Faith Giving. 3 m To be a faith giver, you must know that: 3 p A. God is your source, not your farm; your job, i ? your savings, all this is unstable. Remember it S ! is not what is your source, but WH is your j p source. (Phil. 4:19). The Bible says, "God is ] f the same today, yesterday and forever There s ^ is a law, or principle of the Bible "sowing and j reaping”. Gal. 6:7 says, "Be not deceived; j God is not mocked: for what so ever a man w soweth, that shall he also reap " So, you can- j not out-give God. In our giving, we will change ? the world. God said, "we are labores together £ with Him". (I Cor. 3:9. II Cor 6:1) £ (B). Jesus said in Luke 6:38, "Give, and | it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and run- & ning over, shall men give into your bosom. 9 i For with the same mesure that ye mete withal £ i it shall be measured to you again Whatever p | you give becomes a seed It can be money, S' time or material things. You plant your seed 9 for God to multiply back to you. But, you must J first give by faith. y We have singers in our church that are 9 very good, but I remember the first time some 9 of them sang, it was not that good But. they y gave and God gave them a beautiful voice. I 9 have seen it work in finances, love, talent. S' time, anything that represents you. You give until it becomes a part of you. Just as you look to God as your source, and give to God as 9 seed you plant: so must you expect a miracle £ from God. When you do your part and realize your faith, God will send the miracle. Part 3 of this series will be next week. Remember, Jesus is the man Faith is the message. Love is the method. This article sponsored by: ROBERT DUNPHY MINISTRIES, INC. 1, Box 266. Sperryville.

One such area is financial management. In today’s economy, capital requirements for a farming operation are high. To buy a 500-acre farm can cost from $250,000 to more than $1 million. Annual expenses can run as high as $150,000 or more. Profit margins are slim, with only about 5 percent to 10 percent of gross income remaining as net after expenses are deducted. Capital investment is so high and margins are so slim that farm owners cannot afford to be without financial planning advice which can prevent their making costly, avoidable errors. Today, the farm manager’s role is increasingly to counsel the farm owner to seek sound financial planning assistance. The farm manager should be familiar enough with the basics of financial planning to advise the farm owner should, for example, a problem arise involving an attorney, an accountant and a lender who each offer different — and perhaps conflicting — advice. Budgeting is crucial to a successful farm operation. It is foolish to operate a farm without a plan including detailed cash flow budgets and close monitoring of actual performance compared to the budget during the year. This, plus a wider variety of financing alternatives, more complex tax laws, a greater number of alternative investments in the marketplace, shows clearly the importance of the farm manager’s financial management skills. Today’s farm manager must also be skilled in agricultural marketing. Prior to the grain deal with the Soviets in the fall of 1972, price fluctuations of five or ten cents per bushel were considered a major price change. Today, however, prices fluctuate almost daily, and there is quite a bit of hedging activity in the futures markets. The more knowledgeable a farm manager is, the better his operation’s chances of profiting from transactions in the world marketplace. Soil conservation may be one of the biggest challenges facing agriculture in the coming decade. Professional farm managers, long considered soil conservationists, have the opportunity to take on a leadership role in promoting the adoption of new conservation practices. The coming decade is expected to see more emphasis on no-till and minimum-till farming, as well as greater concern with the effects of chemicals on soil and groundwater. Farm management is a relatively young, growing industry. It has evolved from a company founded in 1919 in Missouri by D. Howard Doane. Doane Farm Manager, headquartered in St. Louis, continues as a major participant in an industry which today ' includes some 200 companies doing business in 47 states. It is an industry managing farms with a combined total of more than 56 million acres. According to a survey of America’s top management firms conducted in 1984 by Agrifinance, professional farm managers manage about 18 percent of all U.S. farmland. There is no question that the farm management industry is growing and that growth is expected to continue. What remains to be seen is the direction that growth will take. The two most likely avenues of expansion for the farm management industry are through serving new clients as well as providing additional services to existing clients. Traditionally, a farm manager’s clients have been landowners (typically property heirs) and outside investors. Today, however, the potential exists to broaden the market for farm management services beyond those two groups to include banks, insurance companies and law firms — those who loan money or who are involved with bankruptcies and reorganizations, but who lack working knowledge of the field. In addition to serving new clients, there is a growing potential for farm managers to provide consulting services. Among the areas in which farm managers might assist farm owners are: • Obtaining and administering debt and equity financing, • Implementing farm management information systems and • Participating as a member of a team with a lawyer and/or an accountant to advise clients. The bottom line on farm management seems to be that the field is fast becoming more professional, with managers who are better trained in a variety of disciplines than they were even five years ago. Greater professionalism means better qualified people in agriculture and therefore, more efficient production. And that benefits farmers in terms of higher incomes, as well as consumers in terms of more affordable prices at the checkout counter. When You \ Want Fast \ Action... Call the Classifieds 675-3349 Sheep Killings (Continued from Page 1) The third sheep had cuts over its body with the most damage done to the flank and loin area. Updike saw dog tracks around the gate area of the pasture after he found the last sheep. “The first and the last one looked like dogs had attacked them, but I’ve never seen one eaten up like the lamb was,” Updike said. “The lamb is puzzling because the skeleton was not tom apart or broken anywhere.” Updike said that he never saw any other animals around when he found the sheep, although he has occasionally seen dogs crossing the pasture. “Whatever’s doing it is smart because it comes, gets its fill and goes on,” Updike said. “Normally a dog or dogs would get back in the flock the next night if they’re running free, but we just don’t know what could be doing it.” Rappahannock’s Game Warden, Jim Bankston, agreed that there is no way to determine what has been attacking the sheep, but said he does not think that a bear could be responsible. Bankston saw one of the dead sheep. “There are too many things about the attacks that indicate it was not a bear,” Bankston said. “There are two bee hives next to the pasture that I don’t think a bear would bypass; a bear would have most likely picked up the sheep and carried them away to eat them if it did bypass the hives and there would have been other signs.” Bankston said that he would tend to think that the attacks were done by dogs. Snead and Updike are hoping that there will not be any other attacks, but they do plan to set traps if there is another killing. Local jurisdictions have historically been responsible for compensating owners of livestock killed by dogs if the dog owners cannot be determined. State law provides that owners are entitled to the fair market value of any livestock or poultry killed by a dog(s) as compensation for their losses. The compensation amount is to be paid by the local jurisdiction, in this case the county, according to state law if: “(i) the claimant has furnished evidence within sixty days of discovery of the quantity and value of the dead or injured livestock and the reasons the claimant believes that death or injury was caused by a dog; (ii) the animal warden or other officer shall have been notified of the incident within seventytwo hours of its discovery; and (iii) the claimant first has exhausted his legal remedies against the owner, if known, of the dog doing the damage....Exhaustion shall mean a judgment against the owner of the dog upon which an execution has been returned unsatisfied.” An animal warden or other officer has the power, under state law, to kill any dog found in the act of killing or injuring livestock or poultry.

If you are in need of private-duty care for yourself or a loved one, please call us at (703) 347-4774 ENTIRELY BY GRACE by Tom Marshall of the Sperry ville Anabaptist Fellowship We have been ministering in Sperryville for several months. When we began we desired to follow the Lord without all the rituals, embellishments and trappings that have become attached to Christianity through the centuries. Not that all (or even most) of these are necessarily wrong, but they are unnecessary, and many of them detract from the worship of the Lord, especially when done through habit and without forethought or intelligent participation. For example, many people can stand half-asleep in a morning worship service and from memory sing the “Doxology” and recite the “Apostles’ Creed”. But how many of these same people ever think about what they are singing and reciting? It is not worship to thus sing and recite, but borders on blasphemy. Nevertheless we fell into a trap of our own. We spent too much time announcing and holding meetings (like most churches) and not enough on finding people and ministering to them where they are (like the early church). This is ironic in view of our desire to minister to people who had not been (and perhaps could not be) reached by the established churches of the area. The Lord has been gracious and patient with us, as always in leading along His own. Despite our mis placed emphasis on the central meeting place, He has given us our greatest blessings as we have visited with individuals in their homes. And all along He has brought us into contact with people who have said things like “When are you going to start holding meetings in homes?” and “Let us know when you start meeting in homes” and “You are welcome to use our home for a meeting if you want.” It finally dawned on us that we needed to be emphasizing the home ministry rather than the central meeting place. Therefore we gave our 30-day notice at the Antique Market at the end of June. After July we will not meet there on a regular basis, though we may occasionally. Several homes have been offered for our use, and we are in the processs of trying to work out schedules which are convenient for the home owners and for us. If you as an individual or as part of a group would like for us to have a Bible-study in your home, we would be happy to do that. This can be done for just a single time, or on a short-term or long-term continuing basis. Please feel free to contact us. You may write to the Sperryville Anabaptist Fellowship, P.O.
