Search for Smoot ends in Huntlv By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New. Staff Writer David Lee Smoot told the guard he was sick and was allowed to rest behind some bushes. The next time Smoot turned up was some 30 hours later at a house in Huntly, having been tracked by 36 correctional officers, four state troopers, the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department and a Virginia Game Commission officer. Smoot, 21, was one of about a dozen prisoners on a White Post Correctional Facility work detail picking up trash and cutting bushes along Route 522 in Warren County past Chester Gap on Aug. 21 when he told the guard that he was sick. The guard allowed him to rest behind some bushes, and he started running towards the Appalachian Trail. From 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. the following day, Smoot was the object of a search throughout Rappahannock County involving the four agencies. The State Department of Corrections furnished dogs and a helicopter for the search, and a state police helicopter was also used. The search continued through Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, Sheriff John Henry Woodward said the officers would have to wait for someone to call with information on Smoot. That call was placed early Thursday afternoon. The caller told the Sheriff’s Department dispatcher that Smoot was at a house in Huntly, approximately four miles from where he ran from the work site. Sheriff Woodward and the other officers arrived at the house at 1 p.m. “Several troopers and I went up to the house, but men were all around,” Sheriff Woodward said. “His capture was a joint effort.” He said that Smoot’s capture went smoothly. “When I walked up, he said, ‘I’m glad you’re here’,” Sheriff Woodward said. “He said he was going to give himself up, anyway.” Smoot told Sheriff Woodward that he spent the night in a field. After his capture, Smoot was re turned to White Post in Clarke County. He will be tried in Warren County for escape. "He was coining up for parole early next year. He’ll probably be denied parole for a while now besides getting more time’ -Sheriff Woodward Smoot had received a 21-year sentence in Rappahannock Circuit Court on April 3 for various felonies and misdemeanors. The charges in eluded two counts of breaking and entering, two counts of grand larceny, three counts of defacing property, defacing state property and petty larceny. All but five years in the penitentiary was suspended. Escape from a state correctional facility or from a guard is a Class Six felony in Virginia. Section 53.1-203 of the Code of Virginia sets the minimum sentence at one year for a felon who escapes. The sentence cannot be served concurrently with any other sentence. In Virginia, there are six classes of felonies and four classes of misdemeanors. A Class Six felony is the least serious class. Upon an escape conviction, the prisoner will immediately begin serving the escape sentence. None of the time served for an escape conviction is credited for parole purposes. “He (Smoot) was coming up for parole early next year,” Sheriff Woodward said. “He’ll probably be denied parole for a while now besides getting more time.” Offices close Monday The business and news offices of the Rappahannock News will be closed Monday in observance of Labor Day. In addition, county and state offices will be closed, as well as the public school system, banks, the county’s welfare office, social service offices and the Family Guidance Service.

Rappahannock News Photo/Jane Bangley I Hb 1 WO Indian adventurers, Subramanyam Raman (1) and Chandrapal Kaman, start on their way out of Washington. Indian adventurers pass through county By JANE BANGLEY R»PI>«ham>ock New, Staff Writer College students in this country are known for their interest in fun and the unusual ways they find to enjoy themselves. Students around the world probably share that characteristic, but at least one group of Indian students found a way to have fim, learn and help others at the same time. They formed an adventure club. Two adventurers, Chandrapal Kaman and Subramanyam Raman, spent three days in Rappahannock last week with Rev. Steve Scoggin and his family in Washington. The two were resting after their walk/run journey down the east coast which took them on the Appalachian Trail. “All they have are running shoes, and they’re not particularly suited for hiking on the Trail,” said Scoggin. “When they got here, they had a few blisters.” Raman and Kaman had stopped in Flint Hill to ask where they could pitch their tent for the night when they were referred to the Scoggins. They never plan where they will spend each night as they head in the general direction of Key West, Fla. They have been in the U.S. since September 1984, but they started their trip on April 22 in Boston. After a delay, they re-started on May 16. They also participated in the Boston Marathon. Raman and Kaman, both from South Central India, formed the adventure club with other university students after their conversations always led them back to their desire to learn through experiences. “The purpose of the club is to inculcate the spirit of adventure in youth," said Kaman. “We try to do things that are educational, too.” This trip is Kaman’s second project few the club. He r«n 7,500 across India for his first project. They had intended to travel frorfr New York to Los Angeles, but a lack of funds caused a change in destination. After the Bhopal tragedy, Raman and Kaman decided to spread the word about the Lions Club International’s assistance program for the Union Carbide chemical leak victims. “We were moved by the stories about Bhopal, and we wanted to help,” Kaman said. They met with Warren Anderson, corporation chairman for Union Carbide, and had what Kaman termed “an interesting conversation. ” Each new experience the pair have is added to their journals. “We are learning about cultural differences,” Kaman said. “We still have some doubts and questions, but they may be answered before we finish.” They hope that they will be allowed to finish since their visas expire next month. “We’ve requested an extension, and we hope they al low us to stay,” Kaman said. Their original visa requests were denied twice because of strict rules on the number of Indians in the 1825 age group allowed in the U.S. We asked them why they were so strict, and they said because over 80 percent of Indians in our age group end up staying here,” Kaman said. “Finally they were convinced that 1 wouldn’t run 7,500 kilometers ,j?>';ro5s India just to get ;ntp Amer* , ” ) — V When they first arrive« in the country, they could not understand American English and no one could understand their English. Their language skills have progressed so that now they usually understand and are understood. “When we go home, everyone there will think that we have an accent,” Kaman said. Besides learning American English, Kaman and Kaman have acquired a taste for American food. They like pizza and fast food, but eat very little of it due to their need to conserve money. "Mostly we eat bread when we are camping,” Kaman said. They did meet a pharmaceutical salesman .who gave them multi-vitamin and potassium samples to take on their trip. Food had caused some problems for them on the Trail because they did not hang their supplies in a tree. “We had to stay up all night to (Continued on Page 17) Making furniture from start to finish John Gaines rubs a piece of pine with his finger — a thick finger disproportionally larger than the size of his hand — and feels a bump in the wood. “That’ll soon be taken care of,” he tells his son who is helping him on this particular project. Gaines walks gingerly over a floor of gravel and sawdust anthills to the wall on the far side of the shop and reaches for a plane. With it, he shaves the wood ever so gently so as to produce a confetti-thin streamer of unwanted wood. “There, that’s about got it,” he says, again using his hose-like finger to inspect the results, the way a sculptor might fondle a piece of newly cut marble. Gaines slides the wood he just planed into a second piece, panelling he was asked to recreate from l-by-6 planks of pine. “This comes from Mr. Smoot’s, who used to grind his own bits for making panelling,” Gaines said. Mr. Smoot has been out of that business for nearly 30 years. “We don’t have that because they’re so damned expensive, so we improvise,” says Gaines, who gets a full-chested chuckle out of the whole thing. Although Gaines is this day working painfully to match new panel strips with old ones destroyed by termites, his joy comes not from small repair work but from making — creating — furniture. But this is not just any kind of furniture. The furniture he makes from as-near-to-scratch as you can get. His furniture starts as trees standing on his land just south of Amissville; the only outside hands to touch the wood are those of the man who mills it. Pine, poplar, oak, beech. Anything growing on his land can be transformed into a dining room table, a dry sink, a porch swing, chairs, toys, a hutch — whatever. One of his last projects was an oak dining room table sold to a woman in time for a house party. ... “That lady’8 called twice to say how much she likes it,” says Gaines. “That was one of those deals you really felt good about. Some, you don’t feel so good about. But that one I did.” ‘Being a farm boy, I wasn’t ignorant when it came time to using my hands.’ — John Gaines For someone who will be 70 in November, quit smoking and drinking — “behaved myself,” he calls it — some 40 years ago when doctors found three spots on his left lung which indirectly led to his going broke, was married, divorced and married again within three years’ time, fought the Japanese in a world war and, as he says, “don’t quite get around as good as I used to,” John Gaines has plenty to feel good about. He’s working at his own pace, with his own hands, on projects he does because he wants to, even if he can’t find the time to build a catfish pond on land across the street or can’t quite get around to putting up another wood shed. And he’s doing work most folks can’t find elsewhere. Gaines is one of a fading breed. He calls his business custom woodworking. But the rarity of it is that he cuts his own wood from standing trees. He admits it would be a lot easier to buy the wood, but, he says, “There’s just something about it. I don’t know, it’s just not the same” to buy. Gaines works in a shed near the house he shares with his wife of some 47 years, Kathryn, “but everybody knows her as Kitty,” the name she signs to her paintings, says her husband. As acorns plop onto the tin roof above the shed, Gaines and his younger son, David, work beneath it, under the light cast by bare bulbs, the air cooled in the summer by a fan near an open window, warmed in the winter by a barrel wood stove. He used to sell his work at shows, but that presented an extensive transportation problem and never offered guaranteed sales, although Gaines says he usually returned with fewer pieces than he took to the shows. Now, his biggest advertising tool is his reputation spread by former customers or by word of mouth locally. His work includes building furniture, doing odd custom jobs and repairing furniture, although he admits “the less I see of that the better.” Creating, executing an idea, is where the challenge to his abilities lies. It is the source of great pride. His photo scrapbook contains snapshots of his work. But while today he can work under his own schedule in the wood shed near Amissville, life (Continued on Page 18) John Gaines in his Amissville wood shop

Official denies rumor of Va. nuke waste dump From staff and wire reports BUCKINGHAM — The executive director of the Virginia Solid Waste Commission has dismissed a rumor that the state has been picked to host a nuclear waste dump. Barbara W. Wrenn said the confusion over the rumor has hurt efforts to get participation in site selection. Her comments came Friday at a news conference in Buckingham County after county supervisors adopted a resolution opposing any such dump for their locality. Ms. Wrenn said Virginia “is not attempting to locate a facility and is not considering the potential suitability of any locations within Virginia for low-level waste disposal.” The rumor apparently began when several environmentalists were quoted in a recent newspaper article as saying they had been led to believe at a meeting with the chief Washington lobbyist of the Southeast Compact Commission that Virginia already had been chosen as host state. The compact lobbyist, Wright H. Andrews, afterward wrote one of the environmentalists a letter denying that he ever intimated that Virginia was the choice. The compact was formed in 1983 to choose a new disposal site for the region’s low-level radioactive waste. Compact members include North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, in addition to Virginia. Much of the region’s low-level waste is taken by truck to a facility at Barnwell, S.C., where it is buried in shallow trenches. But South Carolina officials have said they will close the Barnwell site in 1992, and the compact is scheduled to choose a state to replace South Carolina next year. Killer gets probation LYNCHBURG — A woman’s claim that she stabbed her terminally ill husband with an ice pick out of mercy played no part in a plea bargain in which the Virginia Roundup woman was sentenced to two years’ probation, prosecutors say. Ruth Steppe Davis 69, pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of manslaughter in the death of Samuel Roscoe Davis, who had advanced cancer and only weeks to live, doctors had said. In addition to the two years’ probation, Mrs. Davis also was ordered to receive counseling and treatment at a mental health clinic. During Thursday’s trial she testified that she stabbed her 72-year-old husband five times in the chest to “get daddy out of that old cancer misery.” She said that on Jan. 27, after weeks of becoming increasingly disoriented, getting lost in their home and asking for brothers who had been dead for years, her husband fell out of bed moaning $ith pain. She placed a pillow under his head and tried to comfort him, she recounted. Then she got an ice pick from an adjoining room, stabbed him, and called for an ambulance, saying, “I killed daddy.” “I know it sounds crazy. I asked God to give me the strength to do it, because I didn’t have it,” she recalled, sobbing. “They said I did it five times. I can’t picture that. My head just goes blank.” Her son, Clay, 48, said his mother believed she was “helping rather than hurting” her husband. Prosecutors said jailing Mrs. Davis would not have served society and that their plea bargain was not based on her claim that she stabbed Davis to end his suffering. The plea agreement was based on Mrs. Davis’ age, physical condition and lack of a criminal record, said Commonwealth’s Attorney William G. Petty. Execution stay granted RICHMOND — The Sept. 3 execution date for condemned murderer Michael Marnell Smith was stayed Thursday by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court gave Smith, 38, until Sept. 24 to seek a hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court. Smith has been on Virginia’s death row longer than any other inmate. He was the first person charged with capital murder under the state’s revised death penalty law, which took effect July 1,1977. Smith was convicted by a James City County jury of the May 23, 1977 rape and murder of Audrey Weiler. He admitted meeting Ms. Weiler on a James River beach near his home, raping her and then dragging her into the river where he held her under water and then stabbed her in the back. Ms. Weller’s death was .ributed to drowning. The crime occurred less than four months after Smith had been paroled on a previous rape conviction. Previous appeals by Smith have been denied by the Virginia Supreme Court, U.S. District Court and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court. Admiral urges security NORFOLK — The commander of the Atlantic Fleet, asked Thursday about damage the Navy might have suffered from the alleged spying of John A. Walker Jr., urged sailors to be security conscious. “You have to realize there are people out in the world today who don’t value their country and would sell it away for a pittance,” Adm. Wesley L. McDonald said in an improptu exchange with sailors from the battleship Iowa. The admiral spoke to the sailors after presenting an award to the vessel as the Atlantic Fleet’s best ship. When the ceremony ended, Adm. McDonald stepped from a podium and strode into the crew’s ranks. As for the Walker espionage case, Adm. McDonald said he was “uncomfortable that some of our communica tions abilities may have been compromised, (but) we’re changing keycodes and changing equipment and accelerating equipment purchases. ” He said the Walker case “has been something of great concern" to the Navy. He added that the information allegedly sold by Walker to the Soviet Union “may have created some tactical problems for us.” The Iowa will leave Norfolk next week to take part in a 3^2-week NATO exercise, Ocean Safari ’85. Robins seeks bankruptcy RICHMOND — Friends and enemies of the A.H. Robins Co. viewed the firm’s decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as the latest episode in a bad dream, but for widely different reasons. To the leaders of the city, where A.H. Robins Co. has been headquartered for 119 years, the flood of litigation from women who claimed iqjury from the Daikon Shield intrauterine device was simply bad luck for a company that had prided itself on an image of corporate responsibility. To plaintiffs, Robins’ failure to move quickly to recall the IUD, its subsequent efforts to deny responsibility for damage the device allegedly caused, and filing for protection under bankruptcy, were the height of irresponsibility. Robins has donated millions to the arts, entertainment and social services in Richmond. Robins’ executives are on most of the important city boards, and its employee programs are considered progressive for a conservative southern city. The family business opened in 1866. It expanded rapidly in the 1950’s and 1960’s with products like Robitussin and Chap Stick, and in 1963 the firm went public. The firm now employs 6,000 worldwide, including 1,500 in Richmond. Its annual sales approach $650 million, and operating profits of $128.1 million were reported last year. On Wednesday, Robins filed for protection .under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy statutes. ‘I had a good time9 “I had a good time, but I didn’t like it,” said kindergartner Jason Baldwin about his first day at Rappahannock County Elementary School on Aug. 26. While students like Jason were not too sure about the start of the school year, administrators and teachers were pleased with how the day had gone. “Everything went great,” said Michael Cotter, RCES assistant principal. “There were no problems whatsoever.” Sixth graders agreed that the day had been fun and they had had a good time, but a few complained that they already had homework. Their teacher, Nancy Scoggin, w said that her students were the best W _ - * i* behaved she had seen in a while. “All I have to do is look at these students and they calm right down,” Scoggin said. The number of kindergarten students who cried at the beginning of the day was low this year, according to elementary school principal Margaret Piper. “They were the best kids I’ve seen with only a few criers, and those were the ones whose mothers brought them to school,” she said. High school principal Robert Chappel termed the day “super. Everything went very, very well.” He said that he is looking forward to an excellent school year. “I -hope nine months from now I will be . •pfcvgd right,” said Chappel. - Meat, poultry hotline free for the calling BIRGITT THORNHILL Extemfcm Agent If the best things in life are free, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has something worth looking into. The department began a toll-free hotline this month for questions concerning meat and poultry. Some two million cases of food poisoning occur every year. Many could be prevented with proper food handling. The hotline’s home economists can help consumers with questions ranging from how long to keep meat and poultry in the refrigerator to how to pack a safe picnic lunch. Consumers dialing the new number — (800) 536-4555 — can get food safety tips for meat and poultry products and report problems experienced with such products. The hotline will operate from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT. A test conducted in three states last fall showed an anticipated 24,000 calls during the first year of the new service. Since 1982, the hotline has operated without a toll-free number and has handled about 2,000 cases each year. More information concerning the hotline may be obtained by writing Public Awareness, FSIS-USDA, Room 1163-S, Washington, D.C., 20260. Environmental group to meet The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) has set a Sept. 6 meeting in the county library to discuss “All About Bees” and elect new officers. The 7:30 p.m. meeting will include a presentation on the invaluable contribution made by honeybees to our agriculture and crops. The groups membership will also elect new officers. Honey production, enemies of bees, including pesticides and bears, and the invading African “Killer Bees” will be topics of dicussion. The panel will consist of Maurice Herdon, John Marrocchi and Jens Tholand. Social Security appeal rights If you have been turned down for Social Security or supplemental security income (SSI) benefits, you should be aware of your right to question decisions made on your case, according to Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security Manager in Culpeper. In deciding whether you can get benefits and how much your check should be, Social Security carefully considers all evidence and information. Then it sends a notice explaining its decision. If you disagree with a decision, generally you must file a written appeal within 60 days after receiving a notice. The people at the Social Security office can help you complete the appeal forms without charge. ftappaftannocfc ilttos Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U S. per year $10.00 Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE () New () Renewal () Check Enclosed NAME_ ADDRESS__ CITYSTATE--- STATEZIP-- ZIPSecond ciass postage paid at the Post Office at Warrenton, Va.

Dennis display at local theatre LAURIE MARSHALL KAAC correspondent Currently cn display in the lobby of the Gay St. Theatre is the work of Rappahannock County native Ernest Dennis. The exhibition of pastels and pencil on paper and wood is Dennis’ first public display. He is completely self-taught, though he studied for a year at Rappahannock County High School with Miss Johnson. That art class helped him maintain his knowledge of drawing which he has pursued since leaving high school. His work draws upon his observations of the world around him, especially the animal world. “My drawing comes from my soul,” said Dennis. “When I look at other people’s paintings, I try not to compare them with mine because that breeds jealousy. The aspect of completing a picture is the most satisfying part of doing it, and the hardest. I like people’s reactions to my pictures.” Four pictures by Dennis are on the walls—a pencil drawing of geese in flight over water, a pastel of a Yorkshire terrier’s face with a bright blue background, a man riding a horse bathed in a soft orange background and a moving pastel portrait of a beagle family in a room with broken walls. There is a purity of vision to Dennis’ work which it’s hoped will remain as he continues to make pictures and share them with the public. HUNT COUNTRY NURSING SERVICES, INC.

General District Court A charge of driving on a suspended operator’s license against Gary Allan Price was reduced to no operator’s license in General District Court on Tuesday. Deputy Gary Settle had stopped a car with Price and several other people from Shenandoah County in front of the high school during a traffic check. Deputy Settle had taken the driver of the car at that time to the courthouse for a breathalizer test, and he told the vehicle’s other occupants, including Price, to stay where they were. Deputy Settle testified that he returned and found that the car was no longer in front of the school. He drove in the direction he thought they might have taken. He overtook and stopped the car, and found that Price was driving. Price told Deputy Settle that he did not have a license because it had been suspended. Price testified that he had decided to drive home since he was the only person sober in the car. He said that he had paid all of his fines and fulfilled his obligations to DMV to have his license reinstated. Price’s attorney, Frank Reynolds, pointed out that Price has had no traffic violations since 1979 and that he cooperated with Deputy Settle. “He shouldn’t have been driving, but I think that the court has been satisfied,” said Judge John Alexander. He reduced the charge to no operator’s license and fined Price $25 in addition to $20 costs. Other cases decided Tuesday included: Usters Dodson, four counts of no ABC license, continued to Oct. 8.

Vitamin used for rodent control Ridding rural areas of troublesome rats and mice can save today’s cost-conscious farmer as much as 10 percent of his food crop. It is estimated that rodents eat one fifth of all food crops planted in the world. They also spread disease and are so prolific that a pair of rates could have as many as 15,000 offspring in a year. Researchers recently discovered a totally new approach to controlling rats and mice. Manufactured by Motomco Ltd. under the name, Rampage, this new rodenticide is the first to use Vitamin D3 as its active ingredient. So healthful to man, Vitamin D3 acts as a powerful killer in the body of rodents. A lethal dose — usually 1/10 ounce for a mouse and 1/2 ounce for most rats — raises the amount of calcium in their bloodstream so much that they die of a heart attack. Approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Vitamin D3 bait is safe to use in and around homes, farms and commercial establishments.

HOPEFOR FIRST TIME BUYERS If you are looking to buy your first home, I have some good news for you. According to the U.S. League of Savings Institutions, 40% of last year’s home buyers were first time buyers. That percentage is up from 13.5 percent just three years ago. Last year’s first time buyers had an average household income of $34,000 and a median age of 29.3 years. About 35 percent were unmarried. About 9% bought condominiums, 16% bought new homes and the rest bought existing homes. More people were able to buy first homes last year because of the drop in sky-high interest and inflation rates. The average home buyer spent $709 per month last year for mortgage payments, property taxes, utility and insurance payments. Three years ago, the monthly average was $100 higher. Buyers and sellers of homes are positive about achieving their objectives this year. They know that if they wait, they risk paying higher prices and interest rates in the future.

Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation V___^ Thursday, August 29,1985 Let s be careful It should go without saying that the roads in our county have begun carrying our most precious seasonal cargo: our children. Schools opened this week and once again we feel the need to remind drivers to be careful. Unfortunately, many such warnings go unheeded. Last year in Virginia, some 700 crashes involving school buses occurred, according to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. One child was killed and four others injured last year in the area just beyond the school bus door. That is five children too many, we believe. Youngsters know little about the rules of the road. They understand less. The driver must be aware and be readied for any unexplanable action by children leaving the school bus area. Some 5,500 reports were filed with the DMV complaining of motorists who passed a stopped public school bus loading or unloading children. Think about how many complaints go unreported. Remember that school is in session now. Reduce speeds in school zones. Allow buses the room they need to operate safely. Be aware of children who may not yet comprehend the potential devastation that an automobile carries. We have all been delayed by a slow-moving bus at one time or another, but let’s practice patience. The consequences of rushing to beat a bus certainly can hardly compare with being a few moments late for an appointment. We certainly hope that comparison never has to be made in Rappahannock County. Supporting Amissville It was encouraging to see the overwhelming support provided the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department Saturday at its first truck and tractor pull — the first-ever such endeavor in Rappahannock County. Some 1,200 people paid their way into the carnival grounds for an afternoon of admiring men and their machines. It is estimated that another 1,000 people were on hand to witness the day’s events. They certainly got their money’s worth. The local support, which fire department officials praised, indicates two things: One, give the people a good show and they won’t mind spending a part of their pay check on that show. Two, county people — and there were quite a few among the large crowd — will support the local volunteers. department officials admit there were a few glitches in the production. Remember that it was their first attempt at assembling such an undertaking. Instead, let’s try to keep in mind the reason for the event in the first place — to help those volunteers who freely give of their time to help us. There are many worthy causes throughout our county in need of community support. But none, however, is more important than those who voluntarily serve to protect us. Predictions from the almanac The Hagerstown Town and Country Almanac has called for nasty weather over the Labor Day holiday weekend. “On the whole,” the almanac reads, “the month doesn’t look too promising, with below average tern peratures but above average precipitation. “For Labor Day, rain and strong winds are predicted, as well as for the day preceding. “Look for more of the same on the 7th and 8th, and the 21st-23rd. i— Rappahannock Heritage - The Old Swimmin* Hole in the Rush River was also the county*s baptizing pool. Letter to the editor Now that all the experts have had their say on the use of The Bomb on Hiroshima, the fact remains that the use of it saved lives, not just “many,” but millions. The Japanese were prepared to defend their home islands to the last man, woman or child, and we were prepared to accommodate them. Operation Olympic could have cost the lives of millions of Americans and the majority of the Japanese. A year or so ago, a Tokyo doctor declared that the atom bomb saved the nation, an idea with which I heartily concur. It took the second atom bomb to convince the Japanese die-hards that we meant business. If Okinawa had been a tough nut to crack, was '»/ Hinshu going to be? A human being is not killed any deader by a megaton weapon than by being bashed by a club. JESSE E. POND, JR. Sperryville Dog day dreaming of politics GEORGE BOWLES These are the dog days. Hurricane “Danny” has come and gone, and the last days of August are approaching. The heavy hand of the summer doldrums lies upon us like a great, wet towel as we try to beat back the oppressive heat and humidity. It is time to let the mind wander beyond the here and the now, and to focus lazily on those cosmic verities which play tag with Expect showers on the 14th, 15th, 19th, 20th, 28th and 29th.” As if that wasn’t enough, the almanac warns of even worse conditions: “The peak of the hurricane season arrives mid-month and tornado watches are called in the Mid-Atlantic states the 20th through the 23rd.” our bylines on sultry, steamy summer days. The mind, as it happens, is drawn to the political fiiture of one state Sen. John H. Chichester, a Republican from Stafford. Chichester is the GOP candidate for lieutenant governor this year. His opponent is state Sen. L. Douglas Wilder, a Democrat from Richmond. Now, looking at the realities of the case, it would appear that Chichester has the best shot at winning the lieutenant governor’s race of just about anyone in this century. The fact that Wilder is black, underfinanced, and that the state has an 85 percent white electorate would appear to seriously compromise any real chance of his winning. Still, Wilder is a fighter, and you never count a fighter out. Let us suppose, however, that Chichester wins the race for the No. 2 spot on the ticket in something of a walk. That much appears fairly clear, even in the summer doldrums. Unfortunately, this view through a crystal ball, dimly seen, is the probability that Chichester will never be governor of Virginia. Now, there is a great deal of speculation attached to all this, and Chichester himself will almost certainly have something to say about it. But as the odds stand now there appears to be an excellent chance that many of his old friends who stood at his side when he wrested the nomination from former Attorney General Marshall Coleman and others eariler in the summer will not be at his side when he stands for the gubernatorial nod in 1989. Indeed, where will those old friends, such as former Gov. Mills Godwin, former Sen. Harry Byrd, financier Smith F erebee and a host of others be standing? Sources within the GOP are convinced they will be solidly behind 1st District Congressman Herbert Bateman of Newport News for the governorship. According to these sources, the Stafford senator is quietly regarded as a “stalking horse” for Bateman. Chichester’s role may be to hold the conservative wing of the party together until Bateman is able to begin to make his gubernatorial moves after the 1988 House, U.S. Senate and presidential elections. Chichester lives in that part of Stafford County which is a part of the 7th District. If Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. (R-Culpeper) should retire along about 1990, a seat could be fashioned for Chichester in the decennial redistricting which he could occupy for years to come. One sort of awakens with a start from these musings. There is enough substance to make them real enough and yet enough fancy to suggest that one put off worrying about them for two or three more years. One thing is fairly certain, however. The independent conservative “Old Guard” wants one more win. They have never forgiven the Republicans because of the defeat of Bateman for the lieutenant governor’s nomination in 1980 when state Sen. Nathan Miller won the nod. The delegates pledged to bornagain former Del. Guy 0. Farley bolted to Miller after Farley pulled out of the race. The Bateman supporters would see his nomination and election in 1989 as final vindication for that rebuff. But, as we say, the dog days are here and, in these times of the summer doldrums, we can dream up just about anything. Including, to be sure, Doug Wilder being sworn in as lieutenant governor come next January. Paul | McFarlane j Every young man is dated, not so much by the calendar, or by the number of years he has existed on the planet, as by the events of his life. There could be historical references linked to his little league teams, the schools he attended, his friends, as in the “Dennis era,” or the “Tommy era,” for example. For me, the references go back to the community bus stop. For nine months spanning 13 of my first 18 years on this Earth, the bus stop was a societal training ground. School kids in these parts know little about bus stops and Bus stop waiting for the bus in a central location. Th buses in a country school system make nearly as many stops as they carry passengers. But where I come from — “when I was a kid” — the bus might make two or three 8tops and fill every seat two-deep. It was a meeting place for all public school kids, in total disregard for any sociological threads. If you lived in that community, you stood at the bus stop. Every day. Rain or sunshine. Rich or poor. Smart or dumb. Springtime’s warmth or winter’s freezing cold. It was one of life’s true democracies. It took me exactly five minutes to walk from my house to the bus stop at the corner. It also took me exactly five minutes to eat my cereal and to drink the milk at the bottom of my traditional blue plastic bowl. With 10 minutes needed in the bathroom and five more to get dressed, I could wake one half-hour before I was needed at the bus stop and still have five minutes to spare before the bus was due. It was those five minutes that could change the life of any impressionable young man. It was at that bus stop— or in transit to and from the same — that all the rules could be broken. I smoked my first cigarette walking home one afternoon. I wrote some of my best term papers at the bus stop. I nearly blew off my finger with an M80, which was not only illegal but awfully dangerous. I haven’t fooled with one since. I saw my first real life beaver in the stream that marked the halfway point of my walking journey. I killed my first snake near that stream, never mind that the snake was barely six inches long and weak from dehydration; the kill still counts. I got hit by a car during an afternoon snowball fight. But if anything is remembered about the bus stop, it is my social development. I fell in love with Jami, so much so that I was unable to muster the courage to talk to her. I got over that the next year, when the fourth grade started. I first heard about the Beatles one Monday morning at the bus stop. I couldn’t stay up late enough on Sunday nights to watch their American debut on the the Ed Sullivan Show. For the entire day I thought the discussion surrounded insects. I experienced the oil embargo first hand. Remember when President Nixon declared that the winter months would also operate under daylight saving time? I stood in the dark during those winter months waiting and hoping for the bus to break down. But like any gathering the people made my bus stop more than a peninsula surrounded by the headwaters of three onelane roads. A sort of Three Rivers Stadium of bus stops. There was Pete, who taught us all the proper techniques of vandalism. And Carl, who was the first contemporary to drive to school, making sure to cruise the stop just before the bus arrived, thereby guaranteeing him a large, captive audience to stand in awe. I watched Annette lug her cello on and off the bus every day while her sister had enough sense to play the violin, more manageable cargo. I remember Ralph, who earned his football letter jacket as a placekicker. Ralph could boot the ball 50 yards on kickoffs and in practice but shanked field goal tries longer than 17 yards. In later years, he was arrested on breaking and entering charges. I guess his junior-year conversion to be a devout Catholic wore off. And there was Ralph’s accomplice, Tom, who was the center of our championship sixth-grade gym-class football team and was always the poor, unfortunate kid who fell through the ice during hockey games. The most exciting part about Tom was his older brother, Eddie, who called a fellow on the bus “Balloon Lips.” “Mr. Balloon Lips” was hardly amused by the comment and proceeded to slap poor Eddie senseless in the back of the bus. We lived by different rules on the bus. Alan always finished sixth in the gym class cross country race which placed him in the “A” group. I was lucky to finish higher than the “D” team, that group of misfits made up of future football tackles, paranoid schizophrenics and car thieves. I thought Alan was terrific. I’d still like to know whatever happened to the little rich girl who lived near the end of the block, that house with the footbridge that led nowhere except across the stream and the ceramic flamingos grazing in the front yard. Or Kenny, who was greeted at the afternoon bus by his frantic mother — still in housecoat — chasing their pet parakeet who escaped his cage and flew through an open kitchen window, never to be found again. I have no more idea concerning the whereabouts of these people than I do about Jimmy Hoffa. I probably don’t want to know where they are and what they’re doing. My memories of them will forever keep them — and me — kids at the bus stop.

• Banks sentenced Tony O’Neal Banks pled guilty to three counts of breaking and entering and three counts of grand larceny and was sentenced in Rappahannock Circuit Court on Aug. 14. Banks was sentenced to two years in the state penitentiary for each charge for a total of 12 years. Eight of those years were suspended. Banks will serve two of the remaining four years concurrently with sentences he will receive in Culpeper and Fauquier counties. The other two years will be served consecutively. When Banks is released, he will be placed on probation for five years, and he will be required to pay restitution and court costs. • Labor Day closings The following Rappahannock offices and businesses will be closed on Sept. 2 for the Labor Day holiday: Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock (in case of emergency, clinic staff may be reached by calling 675-3329); the Rappahannock Library; the Rappahannock County Social Services Office; Rappahannock National Bank; Farmers and Merchants Bank; and all post offices. • New library hours The Rappahannock County Library’s new fall hours are: Monday; 9-5 Tuesday; 9-8 Wednesday; 1-5 Thursday; 9-1 Friday; 9-5 Saturday; 9-1 Finally, we can go bow-hunting As the first seed was planted, all those many weeks ago, I thought that the September bowhunting trip to Idaho would never get here. We had at first decided on flying out to Boise, then renting a fourwheel-drive vehicle to get back in the hills as far as we could and backpacking in. Later, as we talked with the game biologist, we found that our primary area of interest east of Elk City, Idaho, had suffered a severe forest fire during the summer. As we talked to the Idaho Game and Fish personnel, we found that their knowledge and information of specific areas was excellent and we developed some interesting friendships over the phone. After the summer forest fires raged through our primary area, we started plans on our second area of interest. First came the trips to get topographic maps and looking at aerial photos at the offices in Reston of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. We found that one particular drainage in our area had a good water supply and a number of remote mountain meadows. Both the water and meadows would be important for finding our primary target —elk. We talked more to the game biologists about this specific area and found that it would be excellent for elk and some good concentrations of mule deer and bear. So the plans started coming together, just about the time of the United Airlines strike — the airline from which we had bought tickets. So, the plans were changed again. Oh well, we really didn’t mind the prospects of a 2,800-mile drive out there anyway. We agreed that my partner would take his Ford Bronco, and the three of us, he, his son, and I would load our backpacks into the Bronco and simply drive out there. Not so! As the weeks passed and our non-resident elk, deer, bear, small game and fishing licenses came in the mail, we realized that because of overlapping seasons we also would be able to hunt a nearby area with rifle for elk on the last three days we had planned to be there. So, the plans were changed to include rifles, ammo and blaze orange clothing required by law. As the weeks have slipped by and the time has drawn near, we have practiced many hours with our hunting equipment, bows and arrows, and backpacked many miles carrying some of our equipment, on check-out trips. Some of the camping gear — tents, sleeping bags, etc. — has seen many years of service and choose now as a time to give up, necessitating replacement. The cost of the trip continued to climb. As we each in turn began to pack our gear for the trip, we began to notice the limited space available in the Bronco. Not wanting to leave anything at home that we might need in Idaho really took some thought. Each article of creature comfort that we took along had to take up space in the ever-shrinking Bronco. We decided that, while a twoweek trip into the outback of Idaho could be done in a backpack tent, a base camp might be more comfortable. So, the plans changed again. With this change of plans, and the added equipment, we decided that maybe a roof rack should be added to the Bronco. The roof rack was designed to accommodate approximately 32 square feet of additional space. Wrong again! Outdoors By Bob McMeans With the large tent, poles, lanterns, stove, cots, foam mattresses, etc. we just needed more room. Change of plans No. 10. U-haul was approached for a small trailer to pull behind the Bronco. Perfect! Now all of the extra gear could be packed into the U-haul trailer and simply pulled along behind the Bronco. Wrong! When we leave on Sept. 7, on our way to Idaho, we will be driving the Bronco pulling a fully-loaded trailer, a 6-by-14-foot model from U-haul, containing: Three overstuffed backpacks, three bows, nine dozen arrows, three high powered rifles, one shotgun, three large coolers, two backpacker tents, one large cabin tent, three lanterns, one three burner stovve, two-single burner backpack stoves, 34 pounds of freeze dried food, one dining fly, six pairs of boots, three cots and mattresses, one large gasoline drum — (oh, did I mention that we are also taking along three-wheel and four-wheel AT Vs?) — and anything else that will add to the creature comforts that we haven’t thought of, yet.

Clifton Clark’s foxhound, Deacon Jake C., was a first-place winner in the All Age Male and Natural Carriage classes at the Northern Virginia Association Bench Show held at Culpeper Enterprises. Mr. Clark is from Woodville. 15 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS In Rappahannock County, un-’ der present conditions, how much does it take to raise your child from birth to age 18? Most parents have no idea about the total amount, but the Institute of Life Insurance, in a new study, suggests the cost to be as much as 3.6 years of earning before taxes or as little as 2.9 years of earnings. In the county, the net family income average is $5,000 to $6,000; the cost per child comes to about $19,800. With one exception, this financial burden is spread out over the years. The birth of the child is estimated to cost about $580. The medical costs after that estimated at $2,940. Karen Smith was named Amissville Carnival Queen Friday evening and received her crown from outgoing queen Cheryl Poling. Attendants included Linda Smoot, Cindy Baldwin, Violet Scott, Gloria Crescenti and Terry Nalls.

Rather it’s that with children grown-up and grandchildren brightening every visit they can look back over the years with no regrets. Maybe that's an exaggeration. Things didn 't always work out right. Dreams had to confront reality. But in the deepest relationships of life Frank and Blanche truly have no regrets. I hey re convinced the key has been Faith. Family life was built on a religious foundation. Children had the vital blessings of spiritual training at Church. Now the grandchildren are growing up with deep-rooted convictions.

Farmers9 finances program topic The Extension Service is coordinating a newly developed Farm Financial Counseling Program within 18 counties in the Northern District. This program is supported by the jpistrict staff along with nine trained volunteers who are well qualified to work with farmers who may be having some financial difficulties. All the assistance is done on a one-on-one basis and is kept strictly confidential. Volunteers will collect financial information at the farm and the Extension will analyze the situation and offer alternatives to improve it. Farmers need not be in severe financial distress to take advantage of this program. A producer with a currently strong operation may be able to avoid future problems by using the Farm Financial Counseling Program. This specially funded project is a free service to the farmers of Rappahannock County. Interested farmers can learn more about the program or schedule an appointment with one of the volunteers by calling the Extension office at 675-3619.

The event is one in a series of Indy 500-style single seat-race cars. Summit Point Raceway will open Friday morning and races begin at 1 p.m. Racing on Sunday and Monday begins at 10 a.m. rain or shine. Admission for the weekend is $10. The raceway will donate $1 from ABC proposes new regulations The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board will hold public hearings on proposed changes in regulations, including outlawing happy hours after 9 p.m. and prohibiting restaurants from advertising reduced-price drink specials. The advisory committee recommends that customers not be allowed to possess more than two drinks at any one time and no retail licensee be allowed to sponsor “allyou-can-dnnk” specials at one price. The proposed changes will be the topic of discussion at a public hearing Oct. 22 at the ABC departmental Central Office Building Complex on Hermitage Road in Richmond. Proposals made last week by the advisory committee other than those dealing with happy hour regulations were “generally, housekeeping and deregulation of the alcoholic beverage industry,” according to ABC Board Chairman Robert J. Grey Jr. Those other changes include proposing to allow restaurants to stock and sell miniatures — those bottles containing 50ml of liquor — in hotel rooms and recommendations that the words “liquor” and “spirits” be allowed to appear in media and exterior advertising of a mixed beverage licensee. Proposed changes in the happy hour regulations are similar to those recommended by a citizens qd hoc committee that was formed to study happy hours. Following its Oct. 22 meeting, the ABC Board will finalize the proposed changes and send them to the governor for final approval. Should they be approved, the regulations would go into effect in December. each ticket sale and $200 of the $600 purses to the MDA, as well as $2.50 from the sale at the track of each custom designed T-shirt.

Rappahannock teens spread special kind of love By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rafpahaiuwck New* Special Writer It takes only a spark to get afire going And soon all those around can warm up to it glowing. That's how it is with, special lave Once you’ve experienced it You spread the love to everyone You want to pass it an. The voices of campers floated out over the lake. It was the final night. The final campfire. And the special love that had been building all week, like a great symphony racing towards the last movement, had reached a crescendo. “I claim an honor...” Campers, teen leaders and counselors stood to recognize and salute those who had made the seven days at camp so special. The speakers paused again and again, swallowing great gulps of air, their cheeks streaked by tears. “I claim an honor for Katie for being so cheerful and for learning to walk.” “I claim an honor for Eugene for being so brave.” “I claim an honor for Dooley for being such a great director and being such a good friend. ” “I claim an honor foi all ‘.he campers. They’ve made me feel so good. They’re like a second family.” This was no ordinary last campfire. This was no ordinary camp. The campers — boys and girls, young men and women — all have one thing in common: They all have ameer. During the third week in August, the Northern Virginia 4-H Center in the Blue Ridge foothills outside Front Royal becomes Camp Fantastic. The camp is the inspiration of 4H Center director John Dooley and Tom and Sheila Baker, who lost their 13-year-old daughter to cancer. It is sponsored by 4-H, the National Institute of Health and by Special Love, an organization founded by Doo'cj and the Bakers. The camp’s purpose is to give youngsters stricken with cancer a chance to be normal — to canoe, ride a, horses, swim, dance, stay up all night giggling and sharing secrets, short-sheet a bunk, decorate a bathroom with shaving cream, make new Mends — and forget about cancer for one week. It’s a special week for the campers, maybe the best week of their lives. That’s what they tell each other and the counselors, over and ' over and over again. It was a special week, too, for the Jewell (Judy) Ball Ball joins realty company Rappahannock County resident Jewell (Judy) Ball has joined the Total Realty Concept in Culpeper. Jewell lives with her husband, Philip, and teenage son, Andrew, on a small farm in the county. She was an electrical contractor in Southwest Virginia, providing electrical services and anchoring mobile homes. She specializes in wiring old homes. The Balls are remodeling an old Victorian farmhouse. She eryoys raising and training animals, and churning butter and milking the cow are daily routines on the Ball farm. The Balls also have chicks in the incubator or a bottlefed lamb or calf beside the wood stove. Jewell has worked with the Red Devon oxen in Wakefield, Washington’s birthplace, and relaxes by obedience training Hawkeye, her German Shepherd, or by sailing down the road on her Tennessee walking horse, Willie. She eryoys square-dancing with the Culpeper Lords and Ladies and belongs to the Culpeper Kennel Club. She also plays Renaissance and Baroque music on the recorder, an ancient wood flute. She also has college training in commercial art and eryoys sketching, caligraphy and designing needlework patterns. Baliles to stump in Sperryville Gerald Baliles, Democratic nominee for Governor of Virginia, is scheduled to visit Rappahannock County Sept. 8. Baliles will be the featured guest at a picnic lunch at the Sperryville carnival grounds beginning at 1 p.m. State Sen. Virgil Goode of Rocky Mount is the keynote speaker. Rappahannock teenagers who served as junior leaders. “It was one of the greatest times of my life,” Baid Tommy Gaines, a tall and sandy-haired junior at Rappahannock County High School. “I r *1 remember someone asking Ross what time it was. He held out his arm, the one that had been amputated, and with this shocked, surprised look on his face, yelled *Oh my God, what happened to it? It was right here a minute ago.' loved it. It’s amazing how you can fall in love with 71 kids in one day.” Standing on the hilltop, waiting for the buses to arrive with the campers, was like waiting for a farflung family to come home for the holidays, explained Jim McCullough. A 1986 graduate of RCHS, Jim had been a junior leader last summer and had joined the kids and their families for the Christmas party reunion and the family weekend earlier this spring. Kids are teachers, too Both young men agreed that the first meeting with the campers is fraught with anxiety. The junior leaders arrive at the 4-H Center on Saturday morning, a day ahead of their charges. They’re given a report on each camper by the NIH staff and other health professionals who volunteer their time for Camp Fantastic week. “But it’s all just words until you see them,” Jim said. Many look like average, healthy children. But some are bald, their hair lost to chemotherapy. Some are on crutches and some are missing an arm, their limbs amputated to stop the spread of the disease. Some are in wheelchairs. Some have the needles of Hickman catheters inserted under the skin at their shoulder for doses of medication. “I was scared of not being about to adjust, of staring. I was afraid I might stay inside myself and not reach out to the kids,” Tommy recalled. But the anxiety is banished in a few hours by a stronger emotion.

And that love comes fast.” The magic of Camp Fantastic begins to work immediately. As the teen counselors teach the campers how to bridle a horse or serve a volleyball, the campers teach the junior leaders tolerance and acceptance. “The older campers are always giving out hugs and kisses to the little ones,” said Tommy. “Can you imagine a 14-year-old boy doing that? I’m real active in 4-H, I’ve been to lots of other camps. Kids tease each other all the time and pick on each other. The kids at Camp Fantastic aren’t mean like other kids. There’s hardly any bickering, even among the little kids. They’re the most caring bunch of kids I’ve been around my whole life. ” “They help each other. Each one knows exactly what the others are going through,” added Jim. There is no prejudice, neither racial prejudice nor prejudice directed at the boys and girls whose physical appearance has been changed by cancer treatment. And after the first few hours, the teen counselors stop noticing the differences. “A bald head doesn’t look any more unusual than curly hair or red hair,” said Jim. Souls bared Jim was assigned full time again this year to Stormin’ Norman, a camp favorite, a remarkable 24year-old with a brain tumor who is confined to a wheelchair, who lives alone and supplements his Social Security income by selling Amway products on Washington’s mean streets. The two shared a room with a second teen leader and three campers: 20-year-old Lucian, who lost one leg and a lung to cancer; 20-year-old Ross, whose arm had been amputated below the elbow, and 18-yearold Jeff, a sophomore at Duke University, whose leg had been removed. At night after the lights went out, the teenleaders listened to stories of operations and chemotherapy, stories of living with cancer. “They told us about phantom limbs,” said Jim. “Ross described how it feels to wiggle the fingers on the missing arm. They told us how it drives them crazy when their missing leg itches and they can’t scratch it because it isn’t there. They told us what they thought about when they learned they had cancer.” Those late-night, soul-baring sessions would stay serious for only so long, though. “Just when you knew you couldn’t hold back the tears another minute, somebody would crack a joke and you’d laugh until it hurt,” said Jim. “I remember somebody asking Ross what time it was. He held out his arm, the one that had been amputated, and with this shocked, surprised look on his face, yelled, ‘Oh, my God, what happened to it? It was right here a minute ago.’ Yes, they were upset about having cancer, and they cried sometimes, but they went on. They didn’t give up. They never gave up.” “It’s a very emotional time,” added Tommy, remembering the evening rap sessions in his room. “There’s no question about it, you do cry.” Were they embarrassed by the tears? “No,” Tommy answered emphatically. “I can’t remember when I cried befoi this. It was the first time I’d cned since I was a kid. But I wasn’t embarrassed.” EASIER SPLITTING AT AN EASIER PRICE.

A copy of the ordinance may be seen at the law office of Douglas Baumgardner. Peter Kramer, Mayor NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF THE 1985 FUEL FACTOR AND COGENERATION TARIFF PROCEEDING AND OF A PROPOSED RATE INCREASE BY THE POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY On June 18,1985, The Potomac Edison Company (“Potomac Edison”) filed an application with the State Corporation Commission for an increase in its base rates which would result in approximately $9.6 million additional annual revenue. Potomac Edison projects that the increase in base rates will be offset in part by a reduction in its fuel expenses amounting to approximately $5.9 million annually. The application states that the $9.6 million increase in base rates is necessary because of increased costs for facilities, materials, and services used by the utility as well as for costs associated with the expected start-up of the Bath County Pumped Storage Project. Forty percent of this 2,100 mw generating facility will be owned by Allegheny Generating Company (“AGC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the operating companies of the Allegheny Power System. Potomac Edison will own approximately 28 percent of the common equity of AGC. By preliminary order filed July 19, 1985, the Commission assigned Case No. PUE850029 to the application and suspended the tariffs for a period of 150 days to and through November 14,1985. By order filed August 5 the Commission scheduled a public hearing to commence at 10:01 a.m., on November 12,1985, in the Commission's 13th Floor Courtroom, Jefferson Building, to receive evidence relevant to the proposed increase in base rates. By order filed August 5,1985, the Commission established Case No. PUE850048 to consider revisions to Potomac Edison's fuel factor and cogeneration tariff and directed Potomac Edison to file evidence in that proceeding on or before October 1, 1985. The Commission has scheduled a public hearing to commence at 10:00 a.m. on November 12, 1985, in the Commission's 1*i*h Floor Courtroom, Jefferson Building, to receive evidence relevant to Potomac Edison's fuel factor and cogeneration tariff. Parties who wish to speak at either public hearing and not participate as a Protestant, may be scheduled by writing to the address listed in the last paragraph of this notice. Any person who wishes to comment in writing on either proceeding should send such comment to the same address. Written communications to the Commission should explicitly identify the appropriate case numbers). On or before October 1,1985, Potomac Edison will propose a fuel factor and cogeneration tariff and file supporting testimony and data. These tariffs will become effective for the period commencing with the billing of Potomac Edison for power from the Bath County Pumped Storage Project. The utility anticipates that the effective date of the new tariffs will be in mid-November, 1985. On or before August 15, 1985, Potomac Edison will file its fuel cost data (FH Reports) for the three months ending June 30,1985. Copies of the applications and the testimony of Potomac Edison's witnesses in each case may be reviewed at any office of Potomac Edison where bills may be paid and at the SCC Document Control Center, Floor B1, Jefferson Building, Richmond, Virginia. On or before September 10,1985, all persons who expect to submit evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and otherwise participate as Protestants in either case, as provided by Rule 4:6 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, shall file, with the Clerk of the Commission, an original and twenty (20) copies of a Notice of Protest in each proceeding in which Protestant desires to participate as required by SCC Rule 5:16(a). A copy of the Notice(s) of Protest shall be served on Potomac Edison’s counsel, John W. Riley, Esquire, Hunton & Williams, P.O. Box 1535, Richmond, Virginia 23212. On or before October 25,1985, all persons who have filed a Notice of Protest and who still expect to participate in the hearing as a party Protestant must file an original and twenty (20) copies each of a written Protest in each proceeding in which Protestant desires to participate as required by Commission Rule 5:16(b) and of all prepared testimony and exhibits of the witnesses to be offered at the hearing in each proceeding and shall serve five (5) copies thereof upon counsel for Potomac Edison and three (3) copies upon all other Protestants. On or before October 25,1985, the Commission’s Staff shall file with the Clerk the prepared testimony and exhibits of each witness expected to present direct testimony in each proceeding and shall serve a copy upon counsel for Potomac Edison and each Protestant. On or before November 5,1985, Potomac Edison shall file with the Clerk and each Protestant the testimony and exhibits it expects to introduce in rebuttal to the direct pre-filed testimony and exhibits of the Commission Staff and the Protestants in each proceeding. Any party participating as a Protestant should review the instructions regarding discovery set forth in the Commission’s order dated August 5,1985, in each proceeding.

A special love spread by, Rappahannock teens (Continued from Page 11) strength of fighters who never give up. They are the same tears that welled when Neil Armstrong took one giant step for mankind, when America’s Olympic hockey team stood to the Star Spangled Banner to accept the gold medal after defeating the world’s best. They are tears of pride at what fellow human beings can accomplish. Jim remembered the dances his first night at Camp Fantastic. “Mike was in a wheelchair — he just sat, at least for the first couple of nights,” said Jim. But there was ‘It isn’t the real world. People In the real world are prejudiced. They stare at abnormalities They don't treat everyone as equals.’ Jim McCullough, teen leader, Camp Fantastic this one little girl, she danced up a storm every dance, and she had only one leg. She could some kind of move on those crutches. “When Mike saw her, he said, ‘I may be in a wheelchair, but I’ve got both my legs. Take me out there, Jim. Let’s boogie.’ We’d wheel him around and he’d clap his hands, tap his feet. He really enjoyed himself. He ignored his disabilities. He was something else. Everyone cared for him. Mike didn’t act disabled. He’d wheel up to me and yell, ‘Move it or lose it,’ as loud as he could.” Meeting kids like Mike changed Tommy and Jim. “I learned to be myself, not to try to impress people,” Tommy said. “I learned to be patient, to be more caring of others. It was one of the best things that’s ever happened to me.” “The kids at Camp Fantastic are amazed at how they’re treated by the permanent staff, the adult volunteers, the teen leaders,” Jim said. “They go out in public and they’re always stared at. But not at Camp Fantastic, and that was something they really appreciated, especially the older kids. Now, when I see someone out in public, I find myself not staring. It’s made me a better person. I think it’s horrible to stare. Missing an arm or a leg doesn’t change the person.” And Jim has a new definition of courage: “My roommates. To joke about cancer. To go on living, trying to lead as normal a life as they can.” Before the campers arrived, the junior leaders were told of one little boy, just eight years old, who had Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner THE NEW DIRECTOR at the Child Care and Learning Center is Mary Tauss. The center has begun construction on a new building. Mrs. Tauss assumes the duties of her position Tuesday. 1 auss named new CCLC director By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Mary Tauss has lived with her family in Rappahannock for the past eight years and has worked for various offices and community groups during that time. On Sept. 3, she will drop some of her activities and take on her duties as executive director of the Child Care and Learning Center (CCLC). Tauss’ appointment was officially made on Aug. 24 by the CCLC board of directors. “I have a degree in education, and I’ve never followed through on it,” Tauss said. “I thought that now would be a good time to use it.” Tauss earned her degree from the Northern Virginia Community College in Fairfax. She worked for four years as an office manager for Household Finance Corp. in Fairfax before moving to Rappahannock and working as the Family Guidance Services office manager for two and a half years. She has been the assistant librarian and library treasurer at the County Library for the past year while working one day a week as a church secretary. She is also on the board for the American Heart Association. “Combined, I have seven years of experience in administrative work,” Tauss said. “The Center needed someone with an administrative background as well as education.” Lois Manookian, a member of the CCLC board, said that there were 26 applicants for the position and 12 applicants were interviewed. “Of those 12, three to five were highly qualified for the directorship, like Mary,” Manookian said. Tauss has, three-and a sevenyear-old daughter who attend the Center. Her husband, Brian, is the juvenile probation officer for Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. “I won’t be going in as a stranger J since the people at the school know me through my children,” Tauss said. “The job will allow me to see my children more during the day." Tauss is eager to begin her work at the Center. “I plan on organizing the Center and keeping the stability that the interim director, Lita Remsen, has brought to the school,” Tauss said. “We will be looking at the children’s programs and trying to put a stronger emphasis on the children’s developmental and social skills although we will still stress academic progress, especially for the four-year-olds.” She said that she is looking forward to working with the Center’s teachers. “Every one of the teachers are extremely loyal to the school,” said Tauss. She is also excited about the plans for the new school building. “That will be a real plus for the county.” A new program will be conducted at the CCLC this fall that Tauss is pleased about. Dr. Martha Ross, professor of early childhood education at James Madison University, will lead an in-service training class for Tauss and the staff once a week for 15 weeks. There are also plans for workshops to include parents as well as teachers of young children. Tauss said that the classes should help her to learn more about early childhood education. She is confident, though, in her abilities and about what qualities she will add to the Center.

His chemotherapy had been discontinued because the doctors felt that the disease had progressed too far for the pain and nausea of treatment to serve any purpose. “He was the epitome of courage,” said Jim. “Knowing that he was going to die, he could leave his family for a week ana have a wonderful time and not worry about death.” For Jim, the hardest moment of camp came when he had to say goodbye to this little boy. “I didn’t want to let him go. I was hugging him. He didn’t want to leave. He was talking about hiding in the woods until the buses left. He wanted to stay with John Dooley at camp. He wanted everybody to stay.” Goodbyes were difficult for Tommy, too. As the hour for departure neared, he was talking to a little girl. “I said, ‘Betcha can’t wait to come back here and play.’ She broke into tearB. ‘I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back. We’re moving to Texas.’ That was the worst time for me. I didn’t want to leave. Leaving was the hardest part of the whole week. I want to stick with this thing — trying to help these kids with cancer — for the rest of my life.” Like MacArthur to the Philippines, both young men pledge they will return to Camp Fantastic. “I have to,” said Jim, who delayed his return to college in favor of volunteering at camp. ‘To me, it’s essential. I’ve seen the results. I know what that week means. The Host families needed for Homes are needed to place foreign exchange students.

They’re asked questions — how do you rate yourself, your ability to make friends, how many friends do you have. It’s incredible. I was talking to the nurse who gives the test. It made me cry. Kids who checked one or two — the lowest — on their ability to make friends, their ability at sports, marked four or five — the highest — at the end of the week. “After a week at Camp Fantas tic, they saw themselves as normal. And their opinion of themselves is so important. When they realize that they’re not any different, just because they’ve had cancer, other people will treat them normally. “At the end of the week, when you come down off that mountain out of the clouds — and, no matter which way you go, you come down — it’s like waking from a dream, a really incredible dream. It’s like a religious experience, not the real world. “And it isn’t the real world. People in the real world don’t care as much about each other. People in the real world are prejudiced. They stare at abnormalities. They don’t treat everyone as equals. “Camp Fanstastic is the only place where you can fall in love with 71 kids in one week — 71 kids you’d do anything for to make them better.” Concluded Jim: “Going to camp is like a dream — the best dream you’ve ever had.” Memories of a young man Jim’s friend, Mike, the young man in the wheelchair who wanted to boogie, died this year. Volunteers at Dear’s Head Center Hospice, where Mike spent his last days, shared their memories of this special young man with the staff and volunteers at Camp Fantastic. In a letter to Tom Baker, hospice worker Lisa Dehope wrote: “Michael spoke of camp and reviewed the pictures (in the camp’s 1984 yearbook) on a daily basis. And even when he knew he was dying, he hoped that he could have one more summer at camp. “I want to thank you on behalf }f Michael for all the effort, warmth and compassion you gave him. Just remember that Camp Fantastic can do for many other children what it did for Michael.” Community support will help this remarkable program continue.

To qualify for full program benefits, farmers cannot neglect the acreage and allow it to grow into weeds or to become a harboring place for insects and rodents. The ACR must be cared for in accordance with provisions of the acreage reduction program contract. Under the program, farmers are required to use normal measures for controlling weeds, insects and ro Middleburg to host wine festival Wine grape-growing in Virginia has increased to 1,421 acres in only 10 years and production of premium table wines has also jumped dramatically. Translated into 625 vines per acre, about 900,000 vines have been planted, giving a sharp boost in grafted plant sales to the Omega Nursery, Culpeper, and to Schloss Tucker, Waterford. The combination of investment outlays by 30 newly licensed farm wineries, the planting of approximately 150 small commercial-size vineyards, plus the booming nursery business, represent an unprecedented vinicultural growth of this new industry. The 10th Annual Wine Festival in Middleburg on Aug. 31, the 14th Winegrowing Seminar and first Virginia Wine Auction will celebrate the agricultural achievement together with its own “Crystal” anniversary. A waiter’s race has also been added to this year’s festival. The featured speaker at the seminars this year will be Belgianborn and French-enology educated Jaques A. Recht, winemaker at Ingleside Plantation, Oak Grove. Ingleside wines have been one of the leaders in eastern wine competitions. Mr. Recht will receive the Jefferson Wine Trophy at the seminar for this year’s first place Chardonnay (1984). The wine auction has attracted significant donations of fine wines from Prince Michel, Reva; Rapidan River Vineyard, Culpeper; Barboursville Vineyards, Barboursville; Tri-Mountain, Middletown; and Oasis, Hume. A waiter’s race, featuring the fleetest-footed runners from area restaurants dashing over a 100-yard course with trays and filled champagne glasses, will be one of the new events.

If these measures are found inadequate, other measures are mandatory. It would be unfortunate for a farmer to be found out of compliance for failure to maintain his or her acreage conservative reserve land. Keeping the land free from weeds is most important and farmers who fail to do so will be out of compliance, and could lose program benefits. * The acreage reduction program contract also prohibits harvesting ACR land. Grazing is not authorized between April 20 and Oct. 1,1986. In designated areas where severe weather conditions reduced normal hay production and pasture development, the county ASC committee can make an exception to the haying and grazing provision from the agency. Rappahannock County cropland that has been diverted from crop production to the ACP through this year’s farm program is being checked to see that these acres are being properly maintained.

The admissions office is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. The first day of fall classes is set for Sept. 9. The college also announces that a hot-line service has been installed to provide more information about fall registration. When calling the school at 8691120, the hot line is available by asking for the “registration hot line.” The line is available during the registration sessions. Also, LFCC announces that it is offering three new evening courses this fall. A six-credit, 80-hour Geriatric Nursing Assistant Training Program will be offered Mondays from 6-9 p.m. The course includes 30 hours of classroom instruction on Monday nights and 50 hours of practical work and clinical duties in long-term facilities. Those successfully completing the course will receive a certificate in geriatric nursing assistant training. More information may be received by calling Steve Alexander at 667-2488. In a related matter the college will also offer Gerontology I, an overview of the field of gerontology. A primary goal of the program is to sensitize the student to the characteristics of the older population. The class is scheduled to be held on Wednesdays from 6-9 p.m. beginning Sept. 11. Registration for Virginia residents is $63.25. Steve Alexander is also the contact person for Gerontology II. Also being offered this fall is Principles of Winemaking on Thursdays from 7-10 p.m. The course is designed for serious home winemakers and those interested in considering commercial production. The class, which begins Sept. 12, is to be taught by Jim Law, winemaker and consultant to area wineries. The cost of the course for Virginia residents is $63.25.

Isom to ask the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors to pay for a motorcyle that will be used to patrol the trail. The Sheriffs Department is still searching for clues in the disappearance of Judith Lynn DeMaria, last seen in the Sterling area Aug. 7. The search has been concentrated on the trail where bloodstains, suspected of being those of the 27-year-old tennis instructor, were found. During last Wednesday’s board meeting, Isom asked for about $8,000 in his current budget for purchasing the motorcycle. The board took no action last week, but is scheduled to consider the request Sept. 3. The sheriff said he planned to seek the money next year, because he expected paving of the trail from Sterling to Leesburg to be finished in 1986. But he noted last week that paving has already been finished to Leesburg, and that there is now “extremely heavy traffic” on the trail, which is used by bikers, joggers, horseback riders and others and is operated by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority. The 44-mile trail goes from Alexandria to Puree 11 ville and is paved to Leesburg. About 17 or 18 miles of it is in Loudoun, beginning in Sterling and cutting through Leesburg to Purcell ville (the trail actually goes to Bluemont, but the park authority only owns it as far as Purcell ville). Although the park authority has no precise figures on the use of the trail in Loudoun, the authority’s executive director, Darrell Winslow, said it is far and away the busiest of the 14 parks the authority operates. Rate hike necessary Loudoun telephone customers could soon see a 54-cent increase in their monthly bills to cover the cost of an advanced 911 emergency telephone system. The board of supervisors voted last Wednesday to advertise the increase for public hearing on Sept. 10. The board could then take action on Sept. 16, and the increase could take effect on November bills,atataff i report said. The board voted in June to establish a user fee to pay for the new 911 system, which county fire and rescue officials have advocated as being better than the current system. Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company, which serves almost all Loudoun telephone customers, has estimated it will cost about $131,000 to install the complex new system, which will use computers to help dispatchers pinpoint the location of emergencies so workers can provide assistance more quickly. In addition, the monthly maintenance cost will be about $6,300. Continental Telephone, which serves a small number of Loudoun users, will file its formal costs next month. Transfer hearing set Sept 17 A Fauquier judge will decide Sept. 17 whether two 15-year-old boys who allegedly raped and stoned to death their 12-year-old neighbor will be tried as adults or juveniles. Fauquier Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge Burke Hertz ruled Thursday that Leon Smith and Darrin King, both of Morgantown, a small community a mile west of Marshall, must remain at the Rappahannock Regional Detention Center until the Sept. 17 hearing. The boys are charged with murder, rape and abduction in the Aug. 5 death of Melissa Lee Bushrod. They also allegedly choked and stomped on her. Each of the three charges carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. If convicted of first-degree murder during the commission of a rape, the boys could be sentenced to death. Possible anon investigated One of the wont dwelling fires in Clarke County in recent years heavily damaged a house near Wickliffe Saturday night. Some 60 to 70 firemen from three companies fought the blaze in the large stucco dwelling for more than four hours, said Wayne Whetzel, chief of Enders Volunteer Fire Company in Berryville. Even though firemen saved a portion of the house, Whetzel estimated damages at more than $40,000. The house, off Route 608 near the West Virginia line in northeastern Clarke County, was unoccupied at the time of the blaze. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wyatt, reportedly are vacationing in Europe, said Whetzel. Firemen were unable to determine how the fire started. The case has been turned over to arson investigators with the Virginia State Police. Although Whetzel said there was no evidence to suspect arson, a fire in an unoccupied dwelling would “tend” to be either deliberately set or the result of an electrical malfunction, he said. Firemen were called to the house shortly after 11 p.m. when the farm manager noticed the flames. Clarke fair draws 66,000 A cold rain dampened the final night of the Clarke County Fair and foiled predictions of a record attendance, but some 66,000 still flocked to what the county Tourism Com. mittee chairman calls “the largest agricultural fair in northern Virginia.” Perfect weather helped draw a record 70,000 people to the 1984 versio of the fair. 1985 Fair Chairman Bobby Leake said Friday’s crowd of 15,400 paying customers was the top night and Saturday had been expected to be the biggest draw. But as the rains came down, the Ruritan members closed the gate about 7 p.m. Many people still entered the fair after then but no count was kept, said Leake. "We got everything in except the last band,” Leake noted of the Saturday schedule. Even the fireworks went off. An exploding transformer behind the grandstand caused minor fireworks of its own on Friday, but no lights were lost and there was no panic. Indian adventurers Continued from page 1 frighten bean away," Raman said. They said that most of their experiences have been good, and that they have found Americans to be generous and nice. “The only bad thing was when a crazy man shot at me, but luckily he missed,” Kaman said. Raman and Kaman will write in their journals about a good experience in Rappahannock. “The Scoggins were wonderful hosts, and we learned a lot from them,” Raman said. “We attended a chui h picnic with them on Sunday, and everyone brought a dish and shared. We don’t have such ‘potluck’ picnics in India, so it was a unique experience for us.” The two were equally impressed by their conversations with the Scoggins including social problems, religion, U.S. history and basic differences between Americans and Indians. “I told them that if I were taking this trip, I would be up at daybreak planning each aspect, I would know exactly where I would be at the end of the day and I would keep a mileage count,” Scoggin said. “I would probably also miss a lot of the human side that they’re seeing.” Raman and Kaman try to cover 20-30 miles a day, and they make their routes up one or two days in advance. “How far we go in a day depends on whether or not we meet an interesting person we want to spend some time with,” Kaman said. “As long as we’re doing something to learn, we don’t worry about rushing.” He said that they had met Americans who were always in a hurry. “We count our mileage by the number of people we meet,” Raman said. “We could have come here and gone from city to city and then said we had seen America, but our idea of travel is not hopping around. America is its people.” Raman and Raman hope to make it to Key West, and from there back home to their families, friends and schools. Raman is studying electronics and Raman is majoring in business administration. Raman’s parents have encouraged him in his plans for adventures, but he said that he usually has to talk his friends’ parents into allowing their children to take part in projects. Kaman’s parents did not know that their son was walking/running his way around the U.S. until they read a news story. “They wouldn’t have let me come if they had known what we planned,” Raman said. Raman and Raman may try to revisit the people they have met during the trip before returning home, so the Scoggins may see the two adventurers from India again. Ramkn and Kaman ask anyone wishing to help the Bhopal victims to send their contributions to The Lions Club International Foundation 800 W. 22nd St. 0*k Brook, Illinois 60670

Making furniture (Continued from Pape I) hasnf always allowed Caines the room o breathe ' He attended a Florida prep school and vs as -dated to enter the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, but two roadblocks stood in the way. One was that he dunked his senior English exam, a minor problem correctable by repeating the course. I he second obstacle w as more imposing "1 decided ! duin t want any part of West Point," he said. So he changed his career plans and aimed at Penn State 1‘diversity and a career m torestry Hut first was the matter of making up those English credits. He enrolled at Ventral High School in downtown Washington, I). C., for a halti a.m. class, "but 1 had nothing else to di the rest of the davhe said. < He ilay, no vvamiered past the wood shop ami ' spoilt the afternoon there." He was hooked. “Being a farm boy, 1 wasn’t ignorant when it came to using my hands," he said. He was tutored, encouraged and put to work there and worked into the early evening hours completing jobs for the government, he says. “We’d be there, sometimes, it’d be six, seven, eight o'clock before we'd get done,” he says. His career plans changed again. “1 said, 'Hell, I’m not going to Penn State,' that's ai! there was to it," he says. He opene 1 a small repair shop with a $50 stake - “took me three years to pay it off." he.says — on Culpeper Street in VVarrenton. John is the grandson of Judge William H. Gaines and the -on John S. Gaines, who with his brother started the Gaines Brothers Bank in VVarrenton. It was lit-iti - Gaines net yet 21 — and. his business began t > grow. He hired young men ami bo\ s from the Virginia School for the I leaf and Blind — “they're marvelous woodworkers,". he says —- and continued to expand, seeking out students from other, similar schools in the region and moving to a bigger shop across town. “Vve ended up with a whole crowd of them," he says. "We made all kinds.of furniture then." The future looked bright, but an X-ray of his left lung said otherwise. The three spots doctors found were probably the product of years of breathing mahogany dust He was forced out of his shops. While on.the mend, Gaines said, “I was trying to stay out of the Blue Ridge Sanitarium, is what I wa trying to do.” "The doctor said to me, ‘Before you go to the sanitarium, why don’t we try this?' i quit -rooking, quit drinking - behaved :n; elf. lived a dull life. I've gone"'.5 .t ar.- without a beer, and I haven't livi d the dullest life in the world." But finding .-puts u, the lung was not the worst news tn come his way. Hungs got worse. Hu next damned thing you know. i went proke,' he said. Hi was off to 1 .eica.-t<;r. Pa., to make wooden propem-rs. That was something I’ll never forget,” he says. ' 'n one of his first nights on the job, Gaines was told to operate a machine he had never before manned. "Boy, I tore up some wood that night,” he recalls. When the war broke out, Gaines, overage during peacetime, became eligible. Savs Gaines, “I enlisted in the Seabees with the stipulation that when the war was over, I was over." The Navy, which possesses a less subtle sense of humor, believed otherwise. After serving on a mine sweeper, and participating in the first wave in the invasion of Japan, Gaines was reassigned when the lighting ceased. "I could have killed the guy" who told him his Navy hitch was not yet complete. His three half-brothers, on the other hand, thrived in the services One. Thurston, retired an Admiral, one a Navy captain, a third an Army Lt. Colonel. "You know, one of the most impressive things that I’ve seen — and 1 think about it from time to time — was Thurston’s (full military') funeral" at Annapolis. But w hile the other family members remained in the service, John chose to return to his family’s Warrenton farm. "I couldn't get help on the farm,” Gaines recalls. “I told my wife, we gotta do something.” He worked in Culpeper, then in Texas, then returned to the area to open a shop in McLean. He was also making a living buying houses to remodel them, selling them at a profit. He also founded a branch of the Boys’ Club in McLean, an extension becoming necessary when, he said, enrollment grew to where “we had too many to haul” to play ball in Washington, I). C. He expected about a dozen or so boys to sign up at the McLean club. “We got 500 that first year," he says. Demand outgrew supply. “We were playing in cow pastures — anywhere we could play.” Still, the country in the boy beckoned. "Ten or 12 years” later, he decided "it was time to get out of the city." Alter renting in Jenkins Hollow, (laines bought near Amissville, where he put up his shop and storage areas, put out his garden and took life at his own pace. It also gave him time to reflect. "You know, I don’t sleep too good at night.” he says, “And sometimes 111 lie awake and think about things, and I don't see a damn bit of good” coming out of 40 years’ of progress. “That may be a dim view, but it’s a lact,” he adds. “They say that in 20 years, you won’t be able to get a pure drink of water. it ain’t progress; it’s ruination. Waste, waste, waste.” He talks of life in horse country, ot hunts and shows and parties. “We had a much better time when we were growing up than yang people do today,” he says. "Things were simpler then.” Maybe. Hut things today seem pretty simple for John Gaines.

ROBERT DUNPHY Family Worship Canter, Washington. Va. BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT Be Spirit conscious Jesus said in John 14:16 4 17 "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you " You see. Jesus was their comfort before the cross, but now the Holy Spirit is our comforter, our teacher. (John 14:26) Be sure to read the verses. Remember, Jesus said whom the world cannot receive." He is talking about unsaved people. So, if you are having a problem with receiving the leading of the Holy Ghost, you are in need of being bom * again or stopping to judge yourself as the Bi- ■ ble teaches. It is very important that you be- j come Spirit conscious. First, you must know that we are spirit be- J ings. I Thess 5:23 says we are spirit, soul i (mind) and body. When the Bible speaks ot ] the heart ot man, it means spirit. God knows , our hearts; how? He looks in our spirits (Prov. I 2027). For us to have the life that Jesus died S tor (John 10:10), we must be led by the Holy S Ghost John 16:13 says: He (the Holy Ghost), ? will show us things to come Jesus also said 3 He made it possible for us to become the £ sons of God. Romans 8:14 says, "For as 3 many as are led by the Spirit ot God. they are # the Sons of God." II Cor. 4:16, last clause. 5 But though our outward man perish, yet the I inward man is renewed day by day." Our out- £ ward man is only the house (body) we live in. 9 Remember the old song Stuart Hamlin wrote g This Ole House.". If you have any questions ? on this lesson, please call or write me.

He did not heal every sick person with whom he came into contact. Many times he seemed to heal at large, but at other times he selected an individual out of a group and healed only the individual. One example of this is the man by the pool of Bethesda (John 5;1-15). Sometimes, but not always, the healing was done in response to faith demonstrated either by the sick person or by someone else. Blind Bartimaeus was healed because of his own faith (Mark 10:46-52), but the palsied man in Mark 2:1-12 was healed because of the faith of his friends, and the centurion’s servant in Luke 7:110 was healed because of the faith of his master. The man at the pool of Bethesda was healed when he as yet had no faith. He did not even know who Jesus was at the time of his healing. Sometimes he did not heal. The other sick people at the pool of Bethesda were not worse sinners than the man who was healed, and the healed man did not have faith until afterwards. Jesus chose to heal one out of many and we do not know why. We do know that he healed to demonstrate the power of God and to bring glory to God. Sometimes he chose not to heal for the same reasons. Paul is the classic example, with his “thorn in the flesh.” Whatever this was, God did not heal it, but rather chose to give Paul the grace to trust God and serve God de spite this physical malady. Sometimes the word “heal” is used in connection with troubles which are not physical. When the Bible says that Jesus came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18) it is not referring to impending cardiac arrest or anything of the sort, but rather to overwhelming sorrow. When J esus was criticized for spending time with sinners, he answered that the sick ones are the ones who need the physician. He obviously was referring to sin-sickness. The clause “by whose stripes ye were healed” in I Peter 2:24 is sometimes used to teach that physical healing is guaranteed to us. This is not true. This verse is not talking about physical healing, but about healing from sin. (Read the whole verse. It does not say one word about physical sickness, but is entirely about sin and deliverance from sin.) Compare Psalm 89:32, ‘Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.” This is a prophecy of the Lord Jesus and the stripes that he would receive in paying the penalty for our sins. Nothing is said about physical healing. Yes, God can heal. Sometimes he does. Sometimes he does not. We cannot require that he do so, for he has not promised that. Please feel free to contact us.
