SAMPLE Founded 1877 35TH Year, No. 39 USPS 455580 18 pages THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26,1985 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 25 cents Rapp ups Sisters hurt Two teenage sisters from Chester Gap were injured when the car in which they were riding overturned in a single-vehicle crash on U.S. 522 Monday afternoon. Rose Ann Williams, 19, and her 15-year-old sister Betty were treated and released from Warren County Memorial Hospital following their 3:30 p.m. accident near the Conservation Center in Warren County. Apparently, the sisters were headed northbound on U.S. 522 in a 1972 Plymouth when they were forced off the road by an oncoming vehicle. The Plymouth, driven by the older Williams, veered off the right side of the road, then crossed the two-lane highway, went off the left side of the roadway and rolled down an embankment where it overturned. No charges were placed by the Virginia State Police in the accident. The car was reported to be a complete loss. The girls were transported by the Front Royal Rescue Squad to Warren County Memorial where the older Williams was treated for bruises on her neck, while her younger sister fractured a bone in her shoulder. PLAN seeks help A steering committee has been appointed to recruit regional council members to establish a local chapter of PLAN (Planned Lifetime Assistance Network), to provide services to families with handicapped dependents. A $10,000 grant has been awarded to the Association for Retarded Citizens in the Winchester/Frederick County area to be used to establish an office in the Northern Shenandoah Valley area, including Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Page, Warren and Clarke counties. The grant will provide funds for a part-time person and the administrative and operating costs of the local office. More information about the group may be ’* obtained by calling the Winchester area Association for Retarded Citizens at 667-0809. Bloodmobile visits today The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the Warrenton Fire House today from noon until 6 p.m. The bloodmobile last stopped at the fire house in July, but George Borjes, blood services chairman of the Fauquier Chapter, said he hopes for a better turnout. Aiming at a 90-pint target for the fiscal year, the unit has collected some 52 units of blood. Boijes said he is optimistic that the goal should be exceeded today because some 121 • donors who participated in the June drive were not eligible in July. Boijes said he hopes to equal that number of donors today. Mile run for fun Notice to young runners, get out the running shoes.

D oing time Sometimes9 more means less9 local case proves By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock News Staff Writer He was charged with driving after having been declared an habitual offender and driving while intoxicated. Because of his previous record, if the defendent was found guilty, he could do time in the state penitentiary. However, under a complex set of Virginia laws and regulations — which are maintained on a computer rather than by hand — the commonwealth could decline to prosecute the more severe charges in return for a guarantee of a longer jail sentence in the county jail. In short, the greater charge resulted in a lesser jail term. “From the Commonwealth’s viewpoint, more means less,” said Rappahan nock Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. “Once a person is sentenced to more than 12 months, he or she enters the state system where the prisoner will probably serve less time." This discrepancy in sentenced time versus actual time spent in a state facility has become a major factor in plea bargain agreements between defense lawyers and prosecutors across the state, Luke said. In a recent case heard in Rappahannock Circuit Court, Luke accepted a plea agreement based solely on the actual time factor, not on the severity of the crime committed. He agreed not to prosecute an habitual offender charge and DWI conviction appeal in return for a guilty plea on a separate habitual offender charge. “I accepted the agreement because if he had been convicted on all charges, he would have automatically entered the state system and been subject to state time computation regulations,” Luke said. A person sentenced to 12 months, the maximum allowed jail sentence, could be released in eight months by accumulating 15 days good time credit for every 30 days served. Half of the good time credit counts toward parole. In addition, the local sheriff may also award “exemplary good time” in the amount of five days for every 30 days. “Generally speaking, a one-year prison sentence for a first-time felon generates two months served, two years — five months, three years — seven months and four years — nine months,” said Luke. “Unless I am pretty sure I can get a larger sentence than four years, I try to find a way to keep the sentence at 12 months.” The state prison time computation system is derived from state codes passed by different legislators at different times. A prisoner’s parole eligibility date is figured by combining a basic parole schedule with eamable “good-time” credits. The basic schedule classifies a prisoner as eligible for parole: after serving one-fourth of the sentence imposed or after 12 years for a first-time felon; after serving one-third of the sentence or 13 years for second-time felon; after serving Please turn to page 18 Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner SEE NO EVIL, perhaps, but it’s more likely that basketball official Donnie Dofflemeyer is preparing for the next call in Monday’s Rappahannock County High School girls’ basketball game. The official did see the Panthers beat Luray, 53-49, and did watch as Rappahannock’s Karen Jordan was honored for scoring her 1,000th career point. Drought ‘worst in 5 years’ By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock News Staff Writer The light rain that fell on Rappahannock County Monday and Tuesday hardly washed out a month of drought conditions here. “We needed five dollars’ worth; we got a few cents’ worth,” said local weather observer Dennis Wingfield. Still the drizzle that fell early this week was the first sign of rain much of ‘Some people are selling their cattle on account of no water' this county has seen since Aug. 25, nearly a month before the latest rainfall. “I have nothing but double-aughts” recorded under rainfall for that time period. Wingfield said. And dry conditions have existed long before that. Some 9.27 inches of lain fell in August a year ago, Wingfield said. This year, Please turn to page 18 County plans to insure nearly $1M properties By PAUL McFARLANE Rappahannock News staff writer Is a $50,000 monument commemorating the Confederacy and those who gave their lives for the South worth insuring? Should the “meat house” behind the county jail, assessed at a total of $10,000, be insured? The county’s communications tower is valued at $10,000. Should it be insured. And, if so, what kinds of coverage should the county buy to protect its property? It is a series of questions the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors says it will address. As part of a reorganization of the county’s insurance package, it was suggested that Supervisors investigate the cost of insuring buildings, grounds and property owned by the county. The county owns the titles to 11 structures and their contents which, by the latest count, have been assessed at nearly $1 million. Currently, supervisors are waiting to receive bids from Alexander and Alexander, a Richmond-based insurance agent, before deciding how many tax dollars should be sunk into insuring that property. At a special meeting Aug. 16, Supervisors voted to hire the Richmond agency to carry much of the county’s insurance, particularly liability and workmen’s compensation for its employees. It was suggested by Allan Thorton, whom the county hired as a consultant with the Industrial Insurance Management Corporation, that the county investigate covering its buildings and their contents, which are assessed at $944,000. Such a decision, including the different types of coverage offered, could be discussed by Supervisors at their Oct. 7 meeting. Richard O’Hare, an agent for Alexan der and Alexander who is compiling the information, was out of his Richmond office this week and unavailable for comment. The highest valued property owned by the county is the courthouse, assessed at $250,000. Its contents are estimated to be valued at $25,000. The county’s jail is the second most valuable building, assessed at $200,000 and its contents at $10,000. The other assessments made for the insurance agency include: — The new office of the county clerk, adjacent to the courthouse, is valued at $175,000 and its contents valued at $15,000. — The office of the commissioner of revenue is valued at $80,000, its contents at $5,000. — The Confederate monument located in the courthouse yard, is valued at $50,000. — The pavilion building at the county recreational park on U.S. 211 is valued at $35,000, its contents at $1,000. — The county treasurer’s office is valued at $35,000, its contents at $5,000. — The county agent’s office is assessed at $25,000, its contents at $5,000. — The county’s communication tower is valued at $10,000. — the “meat house” is valued at $5,000 and its contents are valued at an additional $5,000. The building is currently being used as a storage facility. — The last item is valued at $13,000 and is listed under “fencing, gates, guttering, downspouts, light poles, flagpoles, outdoor personal property, underground tanks and their contents, fuel pumps and all like items located throughout” tl e county.

EPA okays cleanup plan for Chesapeake Bay From Staff and Wire Reports WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency has approved a plan by Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, the nation’s largest estuary. Halting the bay’s decline and restoring its living resources will cost millions of dollars, said EPA administrator Lee M. Thomas. “This is the culmination of long years of effort and the beginning of long years of effort. It won’t be an overnight success,” Mr. Thomas said Friday at a news conference. The bay, fed by 150 rivers, creeks and streams, drains a 64,000-square mile watershed. Its fish, shellfish and waterfowl habitat have been a major economic resource since prehistoric times. But heavy human settlement and industrialization have poured tons of pollutants into the bay, ranging from farm pesticides and human sewage to toxic chemicals from factories. The “Chesapeake Bay Restoration and Protection Plan” incorporates the plans of the four jurisdictions and “renews a federal commitment that some people thought might be disappearing,” said Lou Panos, press secretary of Maryland Gov. Harry Hughes. The plan provides specific objectives for each of the states, the District of Columbia, and the federal government, often specifying how much should be spent each year on projects. Stemming the decline will be difficult and restoration will be difficult, the report warned. “Nevertheless,” it concluded, “it is very likely that we can restore the Chesapeake Bay to the conditions that existed in midcentury.” Hughes and Virginia Gov. Charles Robb took a three-state helicopter tour Friday to publicize the cleanup. Judge scolds Robins Co. RICHMOND — A federal judge has scolded the A.H. Robins Co. for not informing him of a $61 million Internal Revenue Service claim against the company. Robins went before U.S. District Judge Robert R. Merhige Saturday seeking permission to borrow $36 million from three banks to meet a seasonal cash shortage. Merhige is overseeing the pharmaceutical company’s bankruptcy proceedings. The IRS opposed the request, contending Robins owes it $61 million in back taxes and interest dating back to 1978. Robins said it is involved in a dispute with the IRS about the allocation of income from its Puerto Rico subsidiary. Robins said its obligation to the IRS cannot be determined until that dispute is resolved. “There was a problem . . . and there is a problem,” Judge Merhige said of the IRS claim, which was filed in court Friday. “You neglected to give me the full story. I want it understood that we want everthing right out on the table.” S. David Schiller, an assistant U.S. attorney, said he was told two weeks ago there were no tax claims of any sort. Penn Ayers Butler, a Robins lawyer, said when he assured Mr. Schiller there was no tax problem, he was referring to a customary concern in Chapter 11 cases that no money withheld from wages was being misused Virginia Roundup for corporate purposes. In addition to the IRS, the company’s request to borrow money was opposed by an committee of lawyers representing some women who have suits against the company alleging personal injury from Robins’ Daikon Shield birth control device. Robins filed for financial reorganization under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code Aug. 21 to ease the burden of litigation related to the Daikon Shield, and it must seek permission to borrow the money. Burford busted for booze WASHINGTON — Former Environmental Protection Agency chief Anne M. Burford was charged with public drunkenness after police said she cursed and yelled at authorities booking her husband on a drunken driving charge. Mrs. Burford was arrested and detained four hours early Saturday at the Arlington County jail where her husband Robert Burford, a top Interior Department official, was being booked, said Sheriff James A. Gondles. Sheriff Gondles, quoting reports by jail officials, said Sunday that Mrs. Burford was arrested after she allegedly yelled and cursed at a magistrate and desk clerk in the lobby. Banks sell insurance Despite opposition from independent insurance agents, some of Virginia’s statewide banks are making spirited forays into the highly competitive insurance business. The Bank of Virginia Insurance Agency, a unit of the Bank of Virginia, began selling auto, and homeowners coverage in late 1984 and says it will be offering life insurance to Bank of Virginia customers by mid-October and commercial insurance by the end of the year. A subsidiary of United Virginia Bankshares Inc., the United Virginia Insurance Agency, said it would begin selling auto and homeowners insurance to its customers in early October and would test the sale of life insurance next year. And three other banking organizations in Virginia — Sovran Financial Corp; First Virginia Banks Inc., parent of First Virginia Bank of Tidewater, and Central Fidelity Banks — said they are studying ways that might allow them to sell insurance to their customers. Although Central Fidelity has not yet decided how it would deliver insurance products, “we will be in the business sooner or later,” said James W. Koeniger, senior vice president and head of the bank’s statewide financial services group. First Virginia Banks, which has an insurance agency subsidiary, said it recently surveyed its banking customers about their insurance needs and is studying the results before expanding its insurance operations. Banks are not the only businesses with branch operations and close consumer ties that are going after insurance business. Sears, Roebuck & Co., the largest retail chain in the country, has turned its department stores into outlets for insurance sales. Sears’ Allstate insurance subsidiary is the second-largest underwriter of property and casualty insurance in the country after State Farm. Gunmen kill driver RICHMOND — One man was killed and a second was injured when two men jumped into their car early Saturday, demanded money and then shot one of them and beat the other, police said. Kennth Jones, 24, died at 4 a.m. at the Medical College of Virginia Hospital, police said. Ronald Bell, 22, was listed in satisfactory condition at the hospital after being struck in the head with a gun. Police said the two were riding in the car when the two gunmen got into the vehicle. Mr. Jones, who was driving, was shot in the head with a small caliber handgun. He became the city’s 69th homicide victim this year. Hospital costs up slightly ROANOKE — National forecasts predicted an 11.5 percent increase in hospital costs this year, but in Virginia the average daily charge rose only .4 percent, according to a state survey. “I think Virginia’s hospitals are doing a very good job,” said Ann McGee, director of the Virginia Health Services Cost Review Council, which conducted the study made public Friday. The average charge in the state for a patient stay is $2,953, and the average daily charge is $457. Ms. McGee said the council can claim some of the credit for keeping hospital costs down. The council was created by the General Assembly in 1978 to make sure hospital charges are reasonable. The council estimates it has saved Virginia consumers more than $78 million since 1979 because Virginia’s 120 hospitals have voluntarily complied with its recommendations to reduce spending. The average length of stay for many illnesses is dropping, which also helps cut costs. The survey showed, for example, the average stay for a heart attack dropped from 11 days in 1984 to nine days this year. Ms. McGee said new payment schemes by Medicare, Medicaid and large insurance companies are also putting pressure on hospitals to operate more efficiently. If you have to be seriously ill, the council’s survey showed, it is cheaper to do it in western Virginia and most expensive in northern Virginia. The average patient charge per day in northern Virginia is $539 and the cost of the average patient stay is $3,625. The average daily charge in western Virginia hospitals is $415, and the average patient stay comes to $2,347. Co-op risks expansion RICHMOND — Southern States Cooperative Inc., whicl w its sales fall 3 percent last year, is prepared 1 to take the risk of buying the assets of a North Carolina farm cooperative that collapsed. “This is a big hunk to swallow,” Southern States spokesman Don Tindall said Friday. But the five-state farm supply organization is negotiating to buy the fixed assets of FCX Inc. of Raleigh, N.C. The agricultural economy is weak, and many farmers have been unable to pay for supplies they have bought. Such defaults contributed to FCX’s collapse. The 50-year-old cooperative filed Sept. 13 for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy law. Chemical spills at school 20431518FAIRFAX — A spill of FAIRFAX — A Spill of hydrochloric acid and methanol in the parking lot of Lee High School Friday forced the hospitalization of four adults who inhaled the fumes, Fairfax County police said. The spill, which occurred about noon, did not pose any danger to students inside the building because the wind blew the fumes away from the school. The injured, all employees of the school, were taken to area hospitals for observation and were later released. They were identified as Delores Lewis, 26, Sam Page, 47, Nida Boguski, 37, and Ernest Anderson, 42. No students were overcome by the fumes. Nearly three liters of hydrochloric acid and four liters of methanol were spilled by school employees attempting to unload it, police said. The chemicals apparently were for use in science classes. Hydrochloric acid is non-flammable but highly corrosive. Methanol is a flammable, poisonous liquid alcohol used in antifreeze. Fairfax fire and rescue workers cleaned up the chemicals shortly after the spill. Shoppers get seat belts WASHINGTON — A recently formed national organization is criss-crossing the country this month giving awards to stores offering a new shopping idea — carts equipped with seat belts. On Friday, the Washington division of Safeway Stores Inc. was the latest to be recognized by the New Jersey-based National Supermarket Child Safety Committee. Three other companies already have been given plaques and 10 more will be honored before the end of September, which Congress has designated National Supermarket Child Safety Month. Safety committee spokesman Paul Giampavolo said about 9,000 children a year are injured in falls from shopping carts. “What happens in the food store is that children reach for brightly colored packages and topple right out of the carts,” Mr. Giampavolo said. Ernie Moore, public affairs manager for the 160 Safeway stores in the Washington region, said his division has not experienced serious problems, but is equipping ip to 25 carts in each store with belts as a precaution. ‘ Autumn brings out the arts By LAURIE MARSHALL Rappahannock News contributing writer The fall season is an actionpacked time for the arts in Rappahannock County and the surrounding areas. Among the activities planned are performances of modem dance, the first regional “Artists of the Blue Ridge" exhibit, the sale of a 1986 calendar featuring local artists and a visit of the 20th Century Club of Washington, D.C. to the local galleries of local artists. The premiere performance of a new production by Rappahannock’s modem dance group, the Last Minute Wood Company, opens the marquee on Saturday at 8 p.m., with a second performance planned for Oct. 11, both at the Gay St. Theatre. Two years in the making, the piece is called “Box 48,” an original concept, and is based on letters received by choreographer, director and dancer Sally Nash since she moved to the county 10 years ago. With the depth, humor and richness that characterizes Ms. Nash’s remarkably crafted dances, she deals with such subjects as her mother’s cooking and self-definition, sibling rivalry and religious conversion, and the way that one person’s creative process can support that of another. Original music for the dance is composed and performed by Tom Espinola, a new resident to the area whose wife, Lorraine Duisuit, is a member of the musical group Trapezoid. Veteran Nan Reddick, who has been with the Last Minute Wood Company longer than any current member, will be treating the audience to another remarkable display of talent. Guest artist Laura Crowne of Warrenton is also dancing in “Box 48” along with Julie Coon, Hunt Harris, Sheree Wagner and Sally Nash. Lights have been designed by Betsy Toth, formerly of the Folger Theatre, who is known for her outstanding craftsmanship and imagination in theatre lighting. “Box 48” is sponsored by RAAC. Admission is $6, $5 for RAAC members and tickets are available at the door. Another event planned for the weekend of Oct. 19-20, is what should prove to be a big weekend in Rappahannock County. Joining in the spirit of this year’s Sperryville Apple Harvest Festival and the annual House Tour, RAAC and Faith Mountain are co-sponsoring a regional art show on both days of the weekend. The exhibit, from noon until 6 p.m. each day, will feature traditional and contemporary art, native and professional art, focusing on individuality of expression. The exhibit will show the work of artists from an eight-county area. In addition to the painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography and prints included in the show, there will be a continuous video display of local performances (“Voices of Rappahannock,” “Length of Childhood” by the Last Minute Wood Company) plus live performances. The Eclectics will be singing 1950s rock ’n’ roll and gospe l music in their clean, acapella style.

General District Court David Allen Nichols was found guilty in General District Court on Tuesday of driving while intoxicated (second offense) and resisting arrest. A refusal to take a breathalizer '' test charge was not prosecuted. Nichols was arrested on the charges in the early hours of July 20 after Rappahannock Deputy Eric Heflin notcied him revving his car’s engine in the Hampton Inn Restaurant’s parking lot. Deputy Heflin testified that he approached the car and saw Nichols slumped over in the driver’s seat with a beer can in his left hand. “I asked him to take his foot off of the accelerator, and he reached over and turned the radio on,” Deputy Heflin said. “When I asked him' again, he asked me what time it was, and I told him it was 2:30 in the morning.” Nichols got out of the car and tried to perform the field test, said Deputy Heflin. “He told me that he had had eight beers that day.” Deputy Heflin said he advised Nichols that he was under arrest for driving while intoxicated, and Nichols swung around, knocking both himself and Deputy Heflin down. Nichols then ran across the street into the B and B Service Center’s parking lot and tried to hide under a car, said Deputy Heflin. “I dragged him from under the car, and arrested him for resisting arrest, too.” Deputy Heflin said Nichols told him that he had been sitting in the parking lot for three hours waiting Tor a friend, Irvin Jenkins, to return and take him home. Nichols advised Deputy Heflin that he did not have his driver’s license. George Freeman, Nichols’ attorney, called Jenkins to the witness stand. Jenkins said he had driven Nichols to the restaurant and went for a ride with someone else between 10:45 and 11 p.m. While he was riding around, Jenkins said he decided to go home, and he did not return to the restaurant that evening. Another witness, Louise Foster, testified that Nichols had asked her to take him to Sperryville at 12:30 to look for Jenkins, and she took him back to the restaurant after failing to find Jenkins. Nichols testified that he started his car’s motor because the radio had been left on and he needed to recharge the battery. He said he went to sleep until Deputy Heflin woke him up, and he ran when Deputy Heflin said he was under arrest for DWI because he was scared. “I didn’t know that it was against the law to start the car, or I wouldn’t have done it,“•Nichols said. “I didn’t call anyone because I thought that Irvin (Jenkins) would be back.” Freeman said that all of the evidence indicated that Nichols did not intend to drive the car. “He admits that he was drunk, but he had sense enough to know that he shouldn’t drive,” Freeman said.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke pointed out that Virginia law does not require that a car be on a public road for its operator to be charged with DWI. “Running away from the officer constituted resisting arrest no matter what he (Nichols) thought about the legality of sitting in his car,” Luke said. Judge John Alexander found Nichols guilty of both charges. He fined Nichols $300 in addition to $20 costs, sentenced him to 30 days in jail and suspended his operator’s license for three years for the DWI second offense charge. For the resisting arrest conviction, Nichols was sentenced to 10 days in jail to run concurrently with the 30 day sentence. Freeman noted an appeal, but said Nichols will withdraw the appeal in 10 days and will then go to jail. Other cases decided Tuesday included: William E. Cameron, assault, no prosecution with peace bond issued; reckless driving, no prosecution. John Hartshorn Neal, petty larceny, continued to Oct. 1.

Mon -Fn Published by Warrenton Pnnting & Publishing Company, Inc Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation Editorials Doing homework We urge the county board of supervisors to tread carefully through the dark corners in the world of insurance. When the supervisors next meet Oct. 7, they will more than likely discuss a plan to buv various kinds of insurance to protect $1 million of property bought with the dollars of taxpayers. And while it is easy — and sensible — to want to protect one’s own possessions, there are extremes — and trappings. Certainly, paying for insurance to protect the well-being of the county’s citizens is very definitely just cause for the expenditure. And trying to protect landmarks in the event of complete destruction has some merit. But, oftentimes, it is easy to get sucked intb buying insurance policies which are either useless or fruitless. The county is paying an insurance consultant from Richmond to investigate the cost of insuring the county’s 11 buildings and the contents therein. We hope that expert advice is used, but remind those men making the decision to spend taxpayer money that it be done so in a wise manner, where common sense prevails over the obsession to scratch the itch of a good bargain. Big weekend True, the weekend of Oct. 19-20 may be some three weeks off, but it appears as though that weekend will be cause ’plenty to stay right here in Rappahannock County. In addition to the annual house tour and dried flower sale, preparing for its 29th year in what has become an institution as valued as any we have, Sperryville will hold its first Apple Harvest Celebration. ^ Between those two — plus the usual influx of tourists that weekend, Rappahannock County will take on a festival atmosphere seen in these parts only a few times each year. The date may be three weeks off, but it is something to plan for now. Congratulations, Karen It may not have been very suspenseful, but it certainly has been eventful. Karen Jordan, a senior at Rappahannock County High School, possesses a special gift. This week, Ms. Jordan scored her l,000th-career point for the Rappahannock Golden Panthers. She is only the second player at the high school — and the first girl — to reach that milestone in scholastic sports. Sport has always been a healthy way to direct energy. Ajid that a teenage girl can accomplish so much — a night she will never forget — is merely an added plus. Congratulations, Karen Jordan. r Rappahannock heritage An abandoned bam on a knoll in Gid Brown Hollow Letters to the editor No vote needed To the editor: Some recent letters seem to have advocated a kind of self-determined spiritual truth, and one even stated that I “voted” for a particular idea. Spiritual truth is never determined by a majority vote (or minority, either, for that matter). Neither is it determined by what I think or what anyone else thinks it should be. As difficult a pill as it is for some people to swallow, God has revealed himself in the Bible as the only true God and as one who claims authority over all the creations. He does not, however, merely claim authority, but he does indeed have authority. Therefore, he does not suffer from the insecurity that would require that he immediately fstamp out rebellion. The facts that he did not annihilate Lucifer (Satan) at the time of the original rebellion, and that he did not snuff out the human race in the Garden of Eden are sufficient to establish this. This one, true God has revealed himself to us in an authoritative book which we call the Bible. Its inspiration (sourced in God), infallibility and authority have been established over the centuries far beyond my ability (or anyone else’s) to add or detract. In the Bible we are presented with facts about God’s being, his works and his will. In this age, no one is forced to believe this revelation. If one so chooses, he can believe the contrary doctrines, and God is not threatened at all. Neither are the principles of God threatened at all. Neither are the people of God threatened, for they cannot be separated from the love of God. We who believe in the God of the Bible and in the Bible of God eagerly anticipate that wonderful day when we shall be with Christ, our Saviour, forever. In that day we shall be forever separated from those who blaspheme and deny the truths of God’s Word. In the meantime, we invite all who will join with us in belief of the truth and in anticipation of God’s return. For those who do not believe, we must warn you that a day is coming when you will believe. At the end of this age of grace, in which you are now freely offered the gift of salavation, you will be forced to bow the knee to Christ. Then you will know by sight what you now refuse to know by faith, but it will be too late for your salvation. We urge you to believe now, before it is too late. TOM MARSHALL Sperryville Party line confusion To the editor: Really, Mr. Editor, how COULD you? Repeat after me please: “Gerry Baliles is the Democratic candidate for governor.” He is NOT the candidate of the other party as the caption on Mrs. Baliles picture stated. You owe us one, Mr. Editor! CAROL HALES Flint Hill (The caption under the photo in the Sept. 19 edition illustrating Mrs. Baliles stumping in Sperryville did, indeed, incorrectly indentify the party for which her husband is running. We regret the error — Ed.) Don’t hold your breath To the editor: Your editorial, “Circling the wagons” of Sept. 19 was the first one on public education I can remember, in eight years of reading them, which was completely realistic and dared call a spade a spade. (Incidentally, Newbill Miller was the first person in this county, to my knowledge, who used that vivid figure of speech of the circling wagons to describe the stonewalling by public school administrators under questioning or criticism.) You must not hold your breath while waiting for this stonewalling of the public (and, at times, the school board itself) to cease. Public school administrators in Virginia actually receive formal training at the University of Virginia School of Education, and elsewhere, in the politics of public school administration, including manipulation of press and public. They are taught to become the master of the “glittering generality” (e.g. the seven line “response” you received from our current superintendent) and then to draw up their wagons in a defettSive circle wherever specifics are demanded, as you have done in youreditorial. They are taught to use a special lingo of their own which is not intended for the communication of information or facts but is intended to confuse issues and obfuscate and, thereby, get you off their backs. It is a sad fact that most public school administrators are more concerned with their own backs than a good education for the pupils placed in their charge, and many of them are not even qualified academically to provide leadership for schools anyway. In this same issue you report on the “terse” (and foolish) response of the administrators and also report that one of the “Topics for Action” during the coming year presented in August to the school board by the superintendent, in response to the shortcomings cited by the Department of Education survey, was “increased information about schools to the public”! Are you still holding your breath? But if you think that Bob Esta brook is a poor superintendent, you should have been with us when the five members of the school board interviewed the several candidates who wanted the job which Estabrook eventually got. They were incredible! One of them used English grammar like an imported apple-picker would. None of them were in the slightest way academically inclined and all of them were on the list of state department of education as qualified for appointment as district superintendent! I became so disturbed by this experience that I wrote the state Superintendent of Education, Dr. S. John Davis, about it. Needless to add, Dr. Davis did not reply that one of his “topics for action” was to clean up the eligibility list. Mr. Davis has been, and is, one of Virginia’s foremost educators, and he is an accomplished politician. For one thing, Davis is academically inclined and most of our district superintendents are not. They are more interested in basketball or some other such diversion. If, as you indicated, you are totally disappointed at receiving the terse and cavalier response of seven lines from Bob Estabrook (and you can forget the other six signatures; all are Mr. Estabrook’s subordinates) you have a duty to your readers and to the school children of Rappahannock: Keep your editorial sights trained on those covered (and covering) wagons. Don’t accept this stonewalling from any public official in this county — now, or in the future. Finally, you do not write of the school board’s role of responsibility in all of this. Never forget that the school board, under Virginia’s Constitution and school laws, has ultimate responsibility in the county for the conduct of its appointed administrators and the operation of the public schools. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill (Mr. Eastham is a former member of the Rappahannock County School Board—Ed.) Paul McFarlane Bandit has lived a tough life. When they handed out bad breaks, Bandit thought they said “steaks” and went back for a second helping. Bandit has been hit by a truck and still lugs around the steel pins a doctor inserted to hold her leg together. She’s been shot in the shoulder by a neighbor for playing too hard with the neighbor’s kids, a wound requiring further medical attention. It ain’t been easy. Bandit is a black retriever who doesn’t retrieve too well. She is a puppy who, unless she plays her cards close to the vest right will never reach adulthood. We know for a fact that she will never reach parenthood, unless she adopts, no matter how she plays her cards. 1 Bandit is fed — and transported to the vet on a regular basis — by my sister, the microbiologist. That’s a person who grows things in a science laboratory. They Georgia make small farm animals, I think. I half expect to receive a pig cloned from a slice of bacon on my birthday. My sister, Dianne, clones bacteria and studies the growth patterns and other such things microbiologists study. She can’t explain much detail to her thickheaded brother. But I do know — and have always said at the first available moment — this world can never have too much bacteria in it to suit me. A graduate student at the University of Georgia in Athens, Dianne also works with nuclear products and their wastes — “really nasty stuff,” Dianne says in her best scientific language — which scares the beejeebers out of me. At least they’re not pouring the stuff down the sewer drains and polluting the Athens water supply. Like most college students, Dianne is too poor even to pay life’s dues. But she’ll earn more than anybody in the newspaper business after one week at her new job, working with dangerous chemicals and tampering with nature. Does it bother her that she may, as a result of some bizarre chemical reaction, wake up one morning standing about 40feet tall? “Naw,” she says as if I just offered her a stick of used gum. One day, she told me, she was handling a plastic vile containing some phosphate derivative, some chemical gone bad. Transmitting something through the vile, the chemical caused her hand to go numb. She walked around campus with a flaccid hand for half a day until the feeling finally returned. The reason for mentioning all this is that I visited my sister a few weekends ago. I had never been to Georgia, the college, but I had passed through Georgia, the state, on family vacations a few times. The college is situated in Athens, in the northeast corner of the state. Dianne showed me around campus and around her lab which has more glassware than Coming could warehouse. She also showed me where Jules and Iann work in the lab. Every science lab should have at least one Jules. To add an Iann to the lab staff just doubles the credibilty of the place. Otherwise, Athens is a typical college town, I suppose: The place has more fast-food joints than full-time residents. The police don’t look for trouble, fearing they might just find it. And it seems that every store sells something carrying the school’s insignia. That part of the trip was fun. What I didn’t like about the trip, was Georgia, the state and environment thereof. It’s too hot — the barometric pressure, measured in inches everywhere else on this planet, is measured in feet in Georgia. Athens may not be the hottest place on the face of this earth but whoever invented the hottest place surely used the Peach State as a role model. Cold beer is expensive. People talk funny. And strange animals live and breed there. Several zillion bugs grow there, too. Three-pound mosquitos lives off the pints of blood they suck out of visitors. Great songs have been penned about Georgia. But have you noticed a great many are blues numbers, about life’s miseries? I think I know why. Bandit, who lives in a trailer park, can tell you why. All told, she’s spent about three weeks in the university’s small animal hospital undergoing assorted repairs after suffering her misfortunes and incidences of poor judgment. Many of those songs, it seems to me, are written about love gone sour, or women packing up and moving in the wee hours of rainy nights in Georgia. What remains are lonely, sweaty people with massive mosquito bites, a low blood supply and not enough money to drown their sorrows. But for all of its shortcomings, Georgia has one very special point to make, a point which explains why suffering the blues is so hard to take. Georgia boasts more cute girls than any state not bordering the Gulf of Mexico. You can look it up. I went to a fraternity party the first night I was in town. Once I got over the fact that I am not 45 years old — although I felt that old amidst all these kids running around — I looked at some of the girls. Let me tell you, when a Georgian says “How ’bout them Dawgs,” in no way,' shape or form is he talking about the quality of women within eyeshot. In particular. I talked with Gayle — or “Gahy-el” as she pronounced it for me. Ah, Gahy-el. A petite blond with alabaster skin and eyes as clear as an autumn afternoon in the Blue Ridge. She’s studying fashion design at the University of Georgia and wants to go either to New York or Atlanta to make a ton of money designing womens’ clothing. I hope she decides to go north. She will absolutely melt the hearts and souls of the New York men, even those in the fashion designing business who are not generally interested in women. Anybody who has encountered a bus load of New Yorkers — or even a station wagon full of Yankees, which can easily sound like a bus load — knows how amusing they find Southern accents. Ask anybody in the local tourist business about how “cute” New Yorkers find the language here. Gahy-el will knock them dead. Which, naturally, is the how and why blues are written about the state. I now know the blues are not written about heat prostration or weird animal life forms stomping about. The blues are written about women, specifially, about women lost: The author was surely abandoned by some Georgia lovely and forced to go it alone in that oven. He wrote a song to share his misfortune. Which is when the heat feelB its hottest and the bugs attack their heartiest. Gahy-el will be the subject of such a song someday. Even Bandit can sympathize. Maybe I can get my ster to clone me one of those Georgians for my birthday so I can write a blues number.

George Bowles 7 Pathetic voter registration The news from the Virginia State Board of Elections is blum and it is embarrassing. The final day on which a person can register to vote in the 1985 general election is Oct. 5, less than two weeks away, and efforts to register nuqor numbers of new voters in the state seem to have come a cropper. For groups trying to get something going on registration, it has been the pits. This is supposed to be the season of Virginia’s super elections. It is the quadrennial year when the commonwealth chooses a new governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and all 100 members of the House of Delegates. For that reason it has often been called the “Super Bowl of Virginia politics.” The contests have been fierce and the battles to line up new voters have been intense. But not this year. At least not so far. The search for new voters has been pretty much a bipartisan bust. The number of new registrants has not so much as made up for the 130,000 people purged from the books for having failed to vote for the last four years. Indeed, the number of voters registered in October 1984 was 2,667,726. In July of this year it was 2,563,968. According to the state board, only about 67 percent of the eligible citizens in the state have signed up, and Virginia ranks 30th in the number registered. Undeniably there are improvements which could be made in the registration process in the state, but on the other hand, it is not all that hard to register, either. The following facts are presented, it is hoped, to encourage the hesitant. 1 here are no costs, such as poll taxes, required. There are no literacy tests or other devices whereby a potential voter may be intimidated when he or she goes to register. Physical disability is no longer a bar to voter registration. A handicapped person may register at home upon the certification of his or her conditions by a physician or religious practitioner. The registrar will arrange a time to come to the new voter’s residence and sign him up. Thereafter the voter may vote by absentee ballot if necessary. Any U.S. citizen who resides in Virginia and who is at least 17 years of age may register provided his or her 18th birthday falls on or before the next general election day. Registration can take place the year round; however the person must register 30 days before the general election or primary in which he wishes to vote may be held. Those wishing to register must not, of course, be convicted felons or adjudicated mentally incompetent. A person who has been convicted of a felony and who has served his sentence must have his civil rights restored by the governor in order to register. General elections are held on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November, or, for town offices, on the first Tuesday in May. Primaries, when held, occur on the second Tuesday in June. If you desire to register, you must do so in person by appearing before your county or city registrar or his deputy. All you need do is furnish under oath your full legal name, date and place of birth, length of residency at your present address, Social Security number and any previous place of registration. That’s all there is to it. A recent change even permits a person to file registration papers in the city or county adjoining the one in which he resides. The registrar of that jurisdiction will forward the papers to the registrar of the individual’s home area where the registration will be duly recorded. It should be noted that in • Virginia a person does not register by political party. The voter simply registers, and thereafter may vote in any primary or general election. A rare exception to this rule occurs in those cases when, in some jurisdictions, Democratic and Republican primaries are held on the same day. In these cases the voter must choose the primary in which participation is preferred. Voters who have changed their names or local addresses since the last election must notify their registrars in order for their registrations to remain current. Similarly, for voters who have moved to another city or county within the state, any registrar will, upon request, provide the required transfer by mail registration form. These provisions are particularly important to persons who have recently married or divorced. Registration is permanent. It need only be done once provided the voter’s legal and residential status remains unchanged. If, however, the individual fails to vote during four consecutive years, his or her name will be purged from the voting rolls, and reregistration will be necessary before voting again. At bottom, all you need to do to register is to find the days your local registrar is open for business and provide the few required items of personal information. Admittedly the irregular schedules followed by some local registrars can create problems, but their hours of operation, and any other information about registering and voting can be obtained at no cost by calling the State Board of Election’s toll-free hot-line number, 1-800-552-9746. There is one more thing which needs to be said about registering and doing your duty as a voter. Nobody can do it for you. Either you feel responsible for having a voice in the leadership of your government, or you don’t. The bottom line is you can register and vote if you are legally qualified and want to do so.

The company came into being in 1878, when the charter was issued in the names of Gideon H. Brown, William F. Anderson, John C. Browning, Cornelius Smith, Lewis Botts, Robert E. Miller and Middleton Miller. The early records of the company are lost, presumably destroyed in the Woodville tornado of May 2,1929. Mrs. J.G. Rivercomb of Peola Mills was named winner of the first Rappahannock Flower Show. Mrs. L.J. Turner placed second. The countdown to the Rappahannock County Fair is 10 days. Annual Homecoming was held Sunday at the Amissville Bethel Baptist Church with two services being held. 25 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Sept. 29, 1960 edition Chester Gap, once referred to as a sleepy little community sitting atop the mountain peak along the Blue Ridge between Warren and Rappahannock counties, no longer fits that description. Since the opening of the post office there in 1954 and the country store owned and operated by M.A. Greeley, the village has increased in size and rapidly spread over the mountaintop. The community Kas^ organized a fire company, and a cinderblock building for equipment, now being stored in someone’s bam, is under construction. To date, all the work on the 32-by62 foot structure has been done by volunteers. Boxwoods from Washington, Va. “the first Washing of all,” are being taken up and transported to Washington, D.C. to be planted around the new State Department annex. * Each evergreen was at least 20 feet tall, and was estimated to be about 100 years old. Some 355 county residents received free X-rays in Rappahannock County last week by the mobile unit. The churchwomen of Broomfield Parish announce that their annual home tour and dried flower sale will take place in October. Mrs. Rayner Snead is taking orders for special arrangements. The 1961 Ford Galaxie Club Victoria was introduced by the Merrill Motor Company of Washington.

Upcoming Events ‘A Sunday in the Country’ “A Sunday in the Country” has been described by one reviewer as “a perfect film.” RAAC will feature the film on Sept. 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Gay St. Theatre. The film star T,ouis Du'reaux, Michel Aumont, Genevieve Mnich and Sabine Azen •’d is French with subtitles.

On a beautiful day in 1912, his family comes to visit, and we see that his life has been that of a family man, an academic painter, who let the anarchy of Impressionism charge past him.

Mark and Claudia Hitt just returned from a vacation in Frankfurt, West Germany, where Claudia’s parents reside. They had a wonderful time, and Mark visited with his old, Army buddies that are still stationed there. It was sad saying, “auf Wiedersehen.” On the way home, they landed in the Land of Frost and Fire (Iceland) where the temperatures were really low. By the way, it was cold in Germany, too, with the daytime temperatures staying in the 40s. Brrrr! Won’t be much longer, folks!

GfZealcEstate Eileen M. Day - WHICH TYPE OF LISTING? If you plan to sell your home, you must decide on which type of listing to use. Here’s a quick run-down: OPEN LISTING: The seller agrees ' to pay a commission if the agent finds a buyer who will meet the terms. The seller can also sell his own house or can have more than one agent sell it. Since the agent can lose the listing at the whim of the seller, don’t expect as much effort on the part of the agent with this form of listing. EXCLUSIVE LISTING: This gives only one agent the opportunity to sell the property. This arrangement encourages the agent to work diligently because there is a full commission involved and a deadline to meft. MULTIPLE LISTING: In this case, you contract with one agent who agrees to distribute the listing to other associates agents. Even though many agents may work to sell your house, you pay only one commission (the listing broker shares the commission if another sells the property). The advantage of the multiple listing is wider exposure and, perhaps a quicker selling time. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA 22747. Phone: 6753400. We’re here to help.

Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Tur ier SCORING 1,000 POINTS in her basketball career was cause to present Karen Jordan with a game ball that will later be put on display in the school's trophy case. Jordan becomes the first girl to break the 1,000-point milestone. Making the presentation is Head Coach Joel Voorhees (left) and RCHS Assistant Principal and Athletic Director John Toth. Jordan tops 1,000 points, adds 30 to beat Luray It was Karen Jordan’s night Monday. After being honored for becoming the first girl to score 1,000 career points for Rappahannock County High School team, Jordan went out and pumped in another 30 to help defeat Luray, 53-49. The win was the Panthers’ third of the season in five games. Rappahannock remained 1-2 in the Bull Run District, however, following the non-district win Monday. For Jordan, it was a night of highlights. Well, almost. It was believed the senior center needed just three points Monday to . top the 1,000-career mark, a benchmark among high school athletes. However, following the Panth ers’ 12-point loss to Clarke County on Sept. 19, school officials reopened the record books and found that Jordan had already topped the mark at Clarke County. It seems that at least one tournament game had not been counted in her career scoring. That information was made public during a brief ceremony before the start of Monday’s game. Then Jordan went onto the floor and proved why she was so honored. After trailing, 12-5 to start the second quarter, the Panthers pulled to within six at the 'end of the half and closed that gap to one to start the final period. The home-team Panthers scored 16 points in the fourth quarter to pull away with the win. Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner APPLYING THE DEFENSIVE PRESSURE for Rappahannock Monday night is Penny Atkins (right) and “Bean” Stringfellow. Rappahannock defeated Luray, 53-49 to raise the team’s overall record to 3-2. Jordan was the only Rappahannock player to score in double figures. Natalie Butler added eight points to the total. The win Monday snapped a twogame, district losing streak. After Monday’s games, Rappahannock found itself tied for fifth place, behind district-leading and unbeaten, Strasburg and Brentsville, and behind Clarke County and Page County. The 1985 Rappahannock Panthers got their first taste of losing a basketball game. The Panthers ran into one of the Bull Run District’s better teams, Clarke County on Sept. 19, and dropped a 70-58 decision, despite the 35-point, game-high effort by Jordan. The senior also pulled down 17 rebounds. But it was not enough. The Eagles shot better than 50 percent from the field and Rappahannock managed to succeed on only 26 of its 67 shots (39 percent). Jordan was again the only Panther to score in double figures. “Bean” Stringfellow added nine points and Natalie Butler added six. Jordan shot 15 of 25 from the floor and five of seven from the free throw line. It was the second straight district loss for the Panthers. Page County handed Rappahannock its first loss of the season, a 5949 Ugly game that saw the winners shoot just 36 percent. The Page Panthers, however, held off the Golden Panthers by taking 60 shots. Page County connected on 22 of them, but collected 40 rebounds to get enough scoring opportunities to post the win. Rappahannock got beat on the free throw line. Both team matched field goals, but the Panthers got into foul trouble and permitted Page to score the victory margin from the line. The two leading Page County scorers combined for 42 points but hit on just 16 of 41 attempts from the floor. Rappahannock trailed by just four at the half, 26-22, Rappahannock was scheduled to play at Strasburg Tuesday and to host George Mason tonight. Next week, the Panthers travel to Stonewall Jackson Tuesday and to Brentsville Oct. 3. Rappahannock is not scheduled to play at home again until Oct. 10 when it hosts Page County. Runners finish behind Stonewall —twice Rappahannock County boys took the sixth, seventh and ninth places but it wasn’t enough to defeat Stonewall Jackson in a four-team cross country meet Sept. 18. Running on its home, 2.94-mile course, Stonewall Jackson won the boys’ division with 21. Rappahannock was second with 51, Perry McCluer third with 68 and Page County fourth with 107 points. On the girls’ ledger, Rappahannock finished three girls among the top seven runners yet were unable to overtake Stonewall. The Generals finished with 24 points, 19 better than Rappahannock with 43, Page finished with 59 and Parry McCluer kept no score. Manassas Park, scheduled to compete, was absent. For the boys, Rappahannock’s John Dodson placed sixth in the field, covering the course in 18:17. Manley Hay was seventh in 18:32 and Jonathan Watson ninth in 19:17. Stone wall’s John Kagey won the race in 16:03, one full minute ahead of the second-place runner. Stonewall also had runners in four of the top five positions. Todd Williams was the fourth Rappahannock runner to finish, completing in 19:45, Tony Clark was 19th in 20:35, Tom Taylor 20th in 20:42 and Neil Burke 21st also in 20:42. Mike Dunn was 24th in 20:57. “The team did not run as well as last week,” reported coach Ann Spieker, comparing the Stonewall race to the sweep of Luray and Page County seven days earlier. “I feel that the Rapp front runners lost contact with each other instead of running in a pack, which is very important,” according to the coach. “The course was designed in favor of John Dodson: flat with two hills. He took the lead of Rappahannock runners and kept that position,” according to the coach. Karen Ludwick led the girls’ team, finishing fourth overall in 23:49, more than two minutes off the pace. Kathy Dodson was sixth in 24:30 and Bonnie Grimsley seventh in 24:45. Denise Eidson placed 12th in 27:15, Heather Blevins 14th in 28:04, Leslie Nichols 16th in 29:59 and Kelly Brown 18th in 32:10. Stonewall, which swept the afternoon, placed girls in the top three positions. “Stonewall girls and boys are strong,” reported Spieker. “Our teams have not reached the peak yet so are not capable of placing runners high among the Stonewall runners.

Pictured from 1-r are: Christine Johnston, Jane Herndon and Helen Fairfax. House tour set Oct. 19-20 The 29th annual Rappahannock County House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held Oct. 19-20. The event, held every year during the height of the fall colors, is presented by the Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish. Headquarters will be the parish hall of the Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. That weekend, homes will be open on Saturday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Block tickets are on sale for $5 and tickets for each house are $2. A box lunch will be provided by the women of Washington First Baptist Church on both days at the headquarters. Tea will be served both days at Ben Venue, six miles east of Washington. One of the houses open will be Greenwood farm, 1.5 miles north of Rediviva on Rt. 211, the home of Mrs. Jean McNear. Greenwood, a working cattle farm managed by her son Richard McNear, has been dated to 1749. The current house, of Greek architectural revival, was built in the 1840s by Gideon Brown. The house is situated in a hollow that bears Brown’s name. With the exception of the indoor kitchen, added during World War I, and two baths added by the McNears, the house remains as it was built. Also open will be the Rush River House, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Leggett. This contemporary house in Harris Hollow four miles northeast of Washington at the approach to Big Devil Stairs once served as a ski lodge. It contains a tasteful collection of antique to modem furniture, paintings, lithographs and bric-a-brac. The guest house, completed in 1985, boasts three bedrooms, a large living room and a 52-foot indoor swimming pool. It also features large expanses of glass walls and skylights and natural wood trim. The third house on the tour is Meadow Grove, three mi\es south of Ben Venue on Va. 729 and the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Fletcher Massie. The farm was established in 1739 with a land grant from King George III, a portion from the Lord Fairfax Grant. The deed to land added in 1802 was signed by then governor James Monroe, and is on display. The original house, built of pine logs, still stands and one wall of this is seen in the den closet. From 1905 to 1927, Meadow Grove housed the Massanova Post Office beneath the stairs in the entrance hall. Also contained in the house are forebearings of six generations of Massies. More information concerning the tour may be obtained by calling DC Knuepfer at 675-3744.

Wakefield students visit museum By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Wakefield Headmaster William E. Lynn took his fifth, eighth and ninth grade history classes on a field trip to the Thunderbird Museum and Archeological Park near Front Royal. While at Thunderbird, the students took a tour of both the mu seuin and the dig site. In the museum, the students were able to view various artifacts that were uncovered in the nearby dig. The tools, weapons, pottery and animal teeth on exhibit did not fail to impress the group of young history buffs. At the dig, the students were given a tour of some of the many ru ins uncovered at Thunderbird including the remains of buildings, the framework of one house and a reproduction of another house. All of the students interviewed agreed that the trip was both fun and educational. One fifth grader found the reproduction of the Indian house to be the most interesting while Julij Cupp, a fifth grader from Front Royal, found the mammoth tooth to be the most interesting of exhibits. She commented that, “It was almost five and one half inches square!” On the other hand, ninth grader Tobias Dengel, of Front Royal, was impressed by the extreme amount of care and time that the Indians spent planning and building their houses while another student stated that the best part was getting out of school for the afternoon. Even he agreed that the trip was worthwhile, and that he would like to return. Contributor to article: Duane Funk. W akefield teams begin seasons By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer After weeks of hard work and anticipation, Wakefield’s varsity soccer team has now begun this year’s season. Although Coach Uli Maeyer may still make some cuts or position changes, the team has managed to collect two decisive victories against Tandem School and Tara Reston in its first week of the season. In the season opener, Wakefield’s varsity team traveled to Tandem School in Charlottesville to capture its first victory in an impressive fashion. It was only a matter of minutes before the Wakefield players overcame opening day butterflies as David Rowzie, of Amissville, and Ed McGushin, of Haymarket, scored two quick goals en route to a 4-0 halftime lead. After a Tandem goal early in the second half, Wakefield rebounded with tenacious defensive play to gain a 6-1 victory. In the second game of the season, the Wakefield varsity team collected its first conference victory at Tara Reston. After two opening goals by Larry Tarr, of Warrenton, the Wakefield team cruised to a commanding 5-0 halftime lead. Although the team looked somewhat shaky for part of the second half, they held on to gain their second victory of the season by the score of 7-0. The junior varsity soccer team, with only one official practice, had its first game of the season of Sept. 20. The home game was played against Randolph Macon Academy, of Front Royal. In the first quarter of play, RMA scored the first goal and then scored again making the score 2-0 at the end of the first half. After half-time, Wakefield came back with two goals by Jerry Latell, of Huntly, during the third quarter. During the fourth quarter, Latell made another quick goal with the score standing at 3-2 in favor of Wakefield. RMA scored again shortly after to end the game in a 3-3 tie. As the match against RMA was the junior varsity’s first game of their 10 game season, the team is looking forward to this new season with a sense of confidence. The Wakefield varsity hockey team held its first game at the 4-H Center in Front Royal. The varsity, along with the junior varsity team, hosted Foxcroft School, of Middleburg. In the irst half of play, both teams fought hard tor be the first to score. Foxcroft was the first to take the lead. Lisa Irani, of Front Royal, hit the push back to Molly Dunning, of Boyce, as Wakefield’s offense tried vigorously to even the score. With Ann Waesche, of Warrenton, defending the goal, the second half began. Britney Lee, of Huntly, tried to block the drive by Foxcroft, but they scored again, winning the game 0-2. In the junior varsity match, Foxcroft defeated the Wakefield team 03. Strong performances were turned in by veteran players Mary McAllister, of Winchester, and Erica Vanderzon, of Marshall, with newcomer, Leah Millar, of Front Royal, playing an especially strong game and showing great promise as a team member. ^ Contributors to article: Larry Tarr, Sharon McAllister and.

John Hinkell, horse team, have farmed Brookside like it was 60 years ago Bonnie and Bly replace the tractor By CLIVE CARNIE Arundel Newapnpera Equestrian 'Editor Motorists driving past Brookside Farm on Rt. 729 in Rappahannock County often think they’ve gone through a time warp when they see John Hinkell working in the fields. Instead of a tractor, two Belgian draft horses pull equipment around the fields at Brookside just as they used to at farms all across the country 60 years ago. John Deere, International and Ford are dirty words to Mr. Hinkell. The only type of tractor he has ever used has four legs and runs on hay, not gasoline. !!,"M6stK|)ee!»le kind of chuckle with the horses and say it takes so, long,” says Mr. Hinkel. “It doesn’t take any longer to harness them in the morning than it does to oil and grease a tractor. It may take longer to do the work with horses, but they’re a lot more fun. “And also the horses are quiet and working with them uses skills we don’t have call for every day.” The two Belgian mares, Bonnie and Bly, are a lot more friendly and personable than any tractor. Mr. Hinkell also believes that for a farm the size of Brookside, which is 58 acres, they are cheaper and more practical too. “When you go into the barn in the morning the horses will talk to you,” Mr. Hinkell points out. “Not many tractors’ll do that. Horses can reproduce themselves too — you’ll never go into a stall and find a new bom lawn mower next to the bush hog.” A healthy, well-kept draft horse can be expected to give a good day’s work until well into its 20s, making the animals a lot more economical than tractors which can rarely be expected to give more than a few years work without major repairs, and cost. Both Bonnie, at 14, and Bly, at 16, still have several years of work left in them. Their owner hopes, also, he will be able to breed them and thereby prolong their working life through their children. At present the two Belgian mares are used for most of the farm work at Brookside. During the summer passing motorists often slow down to stare at the pair as they pull the old mgdhiines that cut, rake and collect hay^The £wo are also used for pipwing, dicing and planting. They have even been used to pull a snow plow so Mr. Hinkell could clear his driveway. In a shed across from his house, Mr. Hinkell keeps an impressive array of horse-drawn farming equipment that wouldn’t look out of place in a museum. This equipment, however, is all in good working order and is still used. An added advantage is that horse-drawn equipment is a lot cheaper than modern-day tractor-drawn equipment and easier to maintain since there are fewer moving parts. “Most of the stuff you can find as junk,” Mr. Hinkell admits. “But - then I’ve got to compete with the antique dealers, too.” Before moving to Rappahannock County a year ago, Mr. Hinkell had a farm at Nokesville where he also used horses to do field work. During the 17 years he had the Nokesville farm Mr. Hinkell tried several types of farming, including a cattle feedlot, swine and chicken. The Hinkells Hospice volunteers sought in county The hospice of the Rapidan is in need of volunteers to assist with the terminally ill within its service area which includes parts of Rappahannock County. Training classes have been scheduled in October at the Cul peper Memorial Hospital on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and one Saturday session. Complete information can be obtained by calling the hospice office at 825-4840 weekday mornings, or by calling Rosemary at 948- 6140.

Call Linda Powles Staffing Co-ordinator 347-4770, ext. 253 moved to Rappahannock when they saw that Prince William County was becoming hopelessly developed. “In 1967 when we moved to Nokesville there was one traffic light between 1-66 and home,” Mr. Hinkell relates. “By the time we moved, Route 234 was a dual lane highway, and there were 14 sets of traffic lights on it. ” The Hmkells have adapted very quickly to their new farm and seem content with the quieter surroundings. Though he spends many hours in the fields and has owned a farm for ■ many years, farming is not a full-time profession for Mr! Hinkell. But he hopes it will be some. day.. The 51-year-old part-time farmer has spent the last 28 years working for the Navy, 10 years in the service and 18 years as an employee of the Navy Department. The D.C. job and the travel to and from work take up 12 hours of each day, leaving little time for farming. The weekends and long summer evenings are often the only times available for work on the farm. Mr. Hinkell doesn’t regard farming as another job, though, despite the fact that it involves a lot of work and time. “When you use horses it’s fun — it’s not work,” he says with a smile. “I think half the people in the area think I’m crazy, but I eryoy it. I’ve farmed organically for the last 18 years, and that’s impossible without the animals.” Mr. Hinkell’s wife Beverly shares her husband’s enthusiasm for draft horses and often helps him out in the fields. When her husband is away at WQrk, Mrs. Hinkell takes care of the equipment and the horses, and any small chores that might need doing around the farm. Mrs. Hinkell enjoys weaving and spinning and is thinking seriously of keeping sheep at Brookside so she will have a good supply of wool. When she is not working at the farm, Mrs. Hinkell volunteers at the library in Wakefield School where the couple’s youngest child, Missy, 7, is enrolled. The Hinkells will become a fulltime farming couple in four years when Mr. Hinke}l retires from his government job. A big smile creeps across Mr. Hinkell’s bearded face when he is asked about his impending retirement. It’s obvious he’s just waiting for the day that he can be a full-time farmer. Before that day, however, Mr. Hinkell has big plans for Brookside. “I want to have the farm fully productive by then (retirement),” he says. “I want to have some sheep and cattle and have the ground ready for crops. And I want to make some changes to the fences and the bam.” Bonnie and Bly are a big part of these plans for the future. The success Mr. Hinkell has had with them to date indicate that the future at Brookside is filled with promise and pleasure for this dedicated farming family.

The 1984 farm financial picture was especially uneven, with some types of farms doing better, and others worse, than in 1983. One key to the 1984 farm situation was the recovery in farm production. Crop output increased more than 25 percent because of more acres planted and generally favorable weather, in contrast to 1983’s lower production caused by drought and acreage-reduction programs. Output of all livestock and products except pork and milk increased. The larger 1984 farm production resulted in a 17 percent increase in farm productivity from the depressed 1983 level. With large supplies, domestic consumption of farm products increased, and U.S. farm exports rose by five percent for the year ending Sept. 30, 1984. Farm prices started out 1984 at high levels but fell during the second half anticipating large harvests. Farmers’ cash receipts for the year rose slightly, and government payments, an additional income source, remained at a high level. Although farmers bought more inputs for larger plantings, small increases in input prices held the rise in total farm production expenses to mat shot?

Unit production costs for most mjyor crops were hear or below those of 1983. Net cash income increased two percent in 1984 to $39.1 billion. However, taking inflation into account, net cash income declined. Deflated net cash income has dropped about eight percent since 1980. Furthermore, net cash incomes were lower last year for producers of cash grains, cotton, tobacco, vegetables and melons, horticultural specialties and dairy products. Survey data indicated that an estimated 277,000 farms with sales over $40,000 (about a third of the farms) had negative or zero cash flow. Last year’s sharp drop in farmland values reduced the value of farm assets by 13 percent; farm operators’ equity in those assets declined by 11 percent. This aggravated the financial problems of heavily indebted farmers. The debtto-asset ratio of all farmers increased to 23.2 percent, compared with 21.2 percent in 1980.

Avoid costly spoilage by storing hay properly By BIRGITT THORNHILL EiUmImi A|«nt It is imporant to properly store hay since up to a third of a bale can spoil when stored on the ground. Proper handling and storage of hay in large, round bales and stacks can increase both quality and quantity of hay available at feeding time. Spoilage of the outer four to six inches of a bale or stack is common when stored outside on the ground with no bale cover. This represents about one-third of the content of the bale. Practices which have been shown to reduce losses are: l -Locate bale storage areas on * firm ground high enough to provide 1 drainage to all sides. —Space bales at least one foot apart to allow air circulation. , —Position bales with the ends facing north-south so they will receive more sunlight and dry faster after rains. —Gravel, old tires, poles or other means of preventing the bale from touching the ground will reduce spoilage losses. Well-formed, high density bales will shed water better than poorly formed bales. Round bales instead of cone-shaped or barrel-shaped bales are recommended. Leguminous hays don’t usually form as weather-resistant a bale as do grass type hays. Grass hay bales and stacks tend to shed rainwater better due to a tighter thatch. Covering bales and stacks with plastic or tarps will also decrease losses. Research shows that consumption by animals increases 15 percent when alfalfa-orchardgrass hay is covered for storage. At $65-a-ton value, this amounts to $10-a-ton increased consumption, or about $7.60 for an average 1,500pound hay. Fescue-clover hay valued at $45 a ton would show a savings of about $5 a bale due to increased consumption. While inside storage saves dry matter and digestible nutrients, the costs of inside storage may not be too attractive to some producers. The storage facility, however, could be used for other purposes at various times of the year. If hay types and cuttings are grouped together for storage, the producer may find it easier to select hay to meet the nutrient requirements of his animals. This is especially true if a forage analysis has been done on each hay group. Fall soil management - < Gardeners often wonder whether to do their plowing or tilling in the spring or fall. Working the soil in the fall has several advantages over the traditional spring plowing. It allows for earlier planting, - since the basic soil preparation is al. ready done when spring arrives. The < . turning under of large amounts of ! organic matter is likely to result in ^ better decomposition when done in the fall, as autumn temperatures are higher than those of early spring, and there is more time for the process to take place. Insects, disease organisms and perennial weeds may be reduced through burial, or exposure to harsh winter weather. The physical condition of heavy clay soils may be improved by the alternate freezing and thawing, which breaks tightly aggregated particles. When snow is trapped between the hills of roughly-plowed soil, more moisture is retained than on flat, bare ground. Incorporation of limestone in the fall gives the mineral time to become integrated into the soil and influence spring plant growth. To prepare for fall tilling, you should check soil fertility and pH by having your soil analyzed through a '■ local Extension office. This test should be repeated at least once every three years. Soil pH measures the degree of acidity or alkalinity of the soil. Vegetables vary some in their requirements, but most garden crops will do well with a soil pH of 6.2-6.8. This is a little below neutral or slightly acid (sour). If soil pH is too high or low, poor crop growth will result, largely due to the effects of pH on the availability of nutrients to plants. A soil test also will give you an idea of the nutrient level in your soil. Lime and sulfur are commonly used to change soil pH. The correct soil pH is essential for optimum plant growth. Dolomitic limestone adds calcium and magnesium as it increases pH. Sulfur acidifies alkaline soil. The amount to add depends on the current and desired pH. This is a good reason to have your soil checked periodically. Wood ashes are often used as a soil amendment. They contain potash (potassium), phosphate, boron and other elements. Wood ashes can be used to raise soil pH with twice as much ash applied as limestone for the same effect. Ashes should not come into contact with germinating seedlings or plant roots as they may cause root buni. Spread a thin layer of ashes prior to winter, and incorporate it into the soil. Check pH yearly if you use wood ashes. Never use coal ashes or large amounts of wood ash (no more than 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet), as toxicity problems may occur. Animal manures are commonly used directly as a garden soil amendment both to improve soil structure and increase nutrients. The value of manure in terms of the nutrients it contains varies. Fresh horse, sheep, rabbit and poultry manures are quite high in nitrogen and may even “bum” plants if applied directly to a growing garden. They are best applied in the fall and tilled under. Cover crops shouldn’t be underestimated as a source for inexpensive soil improvement. Green manures, or such cover crops as annual rye, ryegrass and oats, are planted in the garden in the fall for incorporation in the spring. For best results, seed should be sown at least a month before the first killing frost. In a fall garden, plant cover crops between the rows and in any cleared areas. Cover cropping provides additional organic matter, holds nutrients that might have been lost over the winter and helps reduce erosion and loss of topsoil. Le gume cover crops can increase the amount of nitrogen in the soil and reduce fertilizer needs. A deep-rooted cover crop like buckwheat, allowed to grow for a season in problem soil, can help break a hard pan and greatly improve tilth. Incorporate green manures into the soil at least two weeks before planting vegetables. Do not allow them to go to seed. Fall plowing is not recommended for hillside or steep garden plots since the soil, left exposed all winter, is subject to erosion when the spring rains come. If a winter cover crop is grown to improve soil and prevent erosion, the ground will have to be tilled in the fall to prepare the soil for seed, and again in spring to turn under the green manure. Spring plowing is better for sandy soils and those where shallow tilling is practiced. Generally, most gardens must be disked or rotarytilled in the spring to smooth the soil for planting. However, as research is being done for no-till methods of crop production, the potential for eliminating the heavy work of tilling or plowing looks increasingly bright. Farmers’ 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 district staff along with nine trained volunteers who are well-qualified to work with farmers who may be having some financial difficulties. 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. Catch ^ UsWith Our Paints Down.

She's still alive within our hearts, Though we sometimes feel alone. Without her here to talk to and to show her all our love, We know she’s free from suffering now, With God, in Heaven above. We miss her! Oh! How we miss her! And sometimes in the night, We wake up crying for her and cry til dawn's gray light. The day that she was buried, We could hear q# own hearts pound, And thought we couldn't stand it, When they laid her neath the ground. We know now that she's in heaven, Free from all her hurt and pain, And some day when our lives are ore We'll be with her again. Sadly missed, J. C. Holland, Husband Lisa Holland Burke, Daughter Pans of thasa varsas wara written by Mom at the death of her infant daughter in 1949.

J flCfvOLDSMOBILE KCIQ CHEVROLET Route 29 South Cuipepw M7 3700 ‘Problems’ delay bypass opening By ARCOM Newspapers Because of “technical problems,” Warrenton’s eastern bypass — for Route 15, 29, 211 — won’t open until next summer. The 3.5-mile bypass, previously scheduled to open in December, should eliminate some of the congestion on Broadview Avenue, the original bypass west of Old Town. About 40 percent of the vehicles using Broadview Avenue are expected to switch to the new $5.35 million bypass, said Don Askew, Fauquier resident highway engineer. Construction was delayed four months because of “technical problems” with Norfolk-Southern Railroad, Mr. Askew said. “But everything’s worked out now.” TTie railroad and the highway department couldn’t agree on a design for the bridge which supports the tracks just south of town near Meetze Road. Hearing set A public hearing is scheduled Oct. 3 to get citiz >n imput on two maps which wc..ld uivide Warrenton into five voting districts for Town Council elections. The Town Council hasn’t com-, mitted to switching to a ward system, but wants comments from the public on the maps which American Civil Liberities Union submitted Sept. 16 and which were the topic of a council meeting last Thursday. By voluntarily switching from an at-large system to wards, Warrenton could avoid a potential voting rights lawsuit. The ACLU has threatened, on behalf of several black residents, to challenge the town’s voting policies in federal court. The citizens claim they aren’t fairly represented on the council. Unwed moms Although a home for unwed mothers at Hillsboro enrolled its temporary residents at Loudoun Valley High School last year, the Loudoun County School Board will now require these girls to pay tuition or stop attending. School Board Chairman Warren Braham (Blue Ridge District) advised an attorney retained by Martha’s House that if students lack legal residency ir Lou3oun>138bnty“ ~ they must pay tuition.

Last year, the girls did not pay these fees. “It’s definitely impossible,” said Pat Gibson for Bethany Church Services, the national organization which supervises Martha’s House. The home is now making arrangements with a local Christian school to set up a homebound education program, she said. Moth war costs If the area of the Blue Ridge mountain infected by g>*,sy moths is to be sprayed next spring, Clarke County will have to come up with more money. The county has set aside $10,000, to be matched by the state, to fight the pests which defoliated 2,500 acres in Clarke last spring. This was the largest area of defoliation in Virginia this year. But egg mass counts done during the last 45 days show the entire western slope of the mountain, from the West Virginia line to Warren County, should be sprayed to keep the gypsy moth caterpillars from stripping trees and bothering residents, according to the Clarke Gypsy Moth Committee. That area covers at least 20,000 acres. A spray program will run between $10 and $12 per acre. GM gives school $ Grafton School in Clarke County has received a $5,000 gift for its building fund drive from the General Motors Corp. Robert Steig Jr., headmaster at the school for autistic and handicapped students, accepted the gift from Dick Nicholas, retiring manager of the Martinsburg, W.Va., plant and B. F. Sanders, the incoming manager. The GM gift puts the fund-raising efforts for a new dining room and kitchen for the school over the halfway mark toward the $700,000 goal. The loan, with an interest rate of 8.6 percent will be repaid over 40 years. Grafton has 110 residential students and also admits day students. Business council reorganizes Jim Thomasson of Country Heritage was elected chairman of the Washington Business Council in a reorganizational meeting held Sept. 20. Fran Eldred of Washington House reproductions was named treasurer and Camille Harris of the Foster-Harris House was named secretary. The group set the first Thursday of every month as its regular monthly meeting date. The next meeting is set for Oct. 3 at Brambles Cafe. Grand Prix show scheduled More than 30 of this country’s top show-jumping riders are expected to participate in the $30,000 “Culpeper Grand Prix” Saturday at Commonwealth Park in Culpeper. The 6 p.m. event is part of a U.S. Gt-and Prix League leading to the 1986 U.S. Cup and $250,000 in prize money. Admission to the event is $10 per carload and there is no restriction on the number of occupants in the vehicle. A barbecue, beginning at 5 p.m. is available on the show grounds for $7.50 per person. The event is part of the “Culpeper Hunter Jumper Classic” horse show. Hiring policy ad In a surprise move, the Fauquier Water and Sanitation Authority last Thursday adopted a policy requiring it to advertise all job openings before filling them. State law doesn’t require the authority to advertise before hiring, but WSA board memeber Bonnie Downes (Scott District) said she believes the policy is needed so that the authority might avoid being “trapped” in any future “constroversy” regarding its employment practices. Mrs. Downes said she was prompted to introduce the measure because an Aug. 29 Fauquier Democrat article reported WSA General Manager Steve Gordon recommended the board hire two fellow church members — Scott Rice and John Orr — as his assistants.

Courts Continued from page 1 one-half of the sentence or 14 years for third-time felon; and after serving three-fourths of the sentence or 15 years for a fourth-time felon. Persons convicted after July 1, 1981, are subject to the Good Conduct Allowance (GCA) statutes, which separate eamable good time credits into levels of behavior. Persons convicted of crimes committed prior to July 1,1981 can elect to either earn credits under GCA or under the Good Conduct Time system that allows a maximum of 10 days good time credit for every 20 days served. Class I of the GCA classification system allows prisoners to earn 30 days of good time credit for every 30 days served, the highest classification reserved for prisoners whose initiative, conduct and performance are deemed exemplary. These prisoners perform in assignments requiring trust, extra long hours or specialized skills. Class II prisoners demonstrate satisfactory initiative, conduct and performance and require moderate supervision. They can earn 20 days good time credit for every 30 days served. Class III prisoners can earn 10 days credit for every 30 days served, and Class IV prisoners can not earn any good time credit. Class IV is reserved for prisoners who are isolated for disciplinary or security reasons. “The regulations were passed over a period of many years, and it is very complex,” said Department of Corrections Public Information Officer Wayne Farrar. “The formula is applied using a computer now because it’s too complex for someone to figure out with a pad and pencil. ” The combination of the basic parole schedule and good time earned results in the prisoner’s parole eligibility date, or the date the Parole Boani can consider granting parole. “A lot of people aren’t paroled on their parole eligibility date because the Parole Board may not have met,” Luke said. “About 90 percent of first-time felons are released on or soon after their PED, though.” Those prisoners who are denied parole by the Parole Board are subject to the Mandatory Parole Release Date (MPRD). The MPRD was developed because “the legislators wanted those prisoners not granted parole by the Parole Board to have some supervision and help as they completed their sentence(s),” wrote Russell Wilson, author of a DOC booklet on time computation. Under the MPRD regulation, six months is deducted from a prisoner’s full sentence date with good-time credits computed from that reduced sentence. A Class I prisoner, for instance, would be released three months earlier than his or her full sentence date to meet the MPRD. Prisoners released under MPRD are placed on Weather Continued from page 1 the August rainfall measured just 3.49 inches. And in September a year ago, some 2.75 inches of rain fell. So far — which includes just the light rain of Monday and Tuesday — only .09 inches of rain has been recorded by Wingfield. “A lot of people had to drill wells” because of the dry conditions, said Gordon Thornhill of the Rappahannock County Farmers’ Cooperative. Thornhill said dry conditions currently are “the worst in about five years.” Seeding, particularly of small grains, becomes “difficult if we don’t get rain,” and feed pastures will suf fer “a whole lot” from the drought conditions, said Thornhill. “Some people are selling their cattle on account of no water,” said Thornhill. Plus, Thornhill said, this is normally the time of the year when bluegrass “is real lush. It’s not that way right now,” he said. But whether the dry conditions have much influence on the condition and timetable of the fall foliage in the Blue Ridge Mountains — and, subsequently on the tourist traffic — is not yet known. Jane Stanbock of the Shenandoah National Park Service said it will take “about a week” before pinpointing the height of the fall colors can occur. “We’re not sure right now,” she said. Apparently, there has been no pattern to the correlation of weather conditions and the changing of the tree leaves. “We’ve had it both ways,” Stanbock said. “In another week or so we should be able to know whether they’ll be early or late,” she said. “We sure don’t know much now” to indicate the height of the colors which normally dictates tourist traffic. But in the meantime, for those who depend on tourist traffic and those who depend on the land for production, there’s little to do. “Nothing, right now,” said Thornhill. “Just hope and pray that it rains.” Potomac Fever found in Ky. By DALE LEATHERMAN Democrat Contributing Writer Kentucky has been added to the growing list of states with confirmed cases of Potomac Horse Fever, a virtually untreatable virus disease which kills a third of the horses it affects. An Arabian horse near LaGrange, Ky., tested positive for the disease according to Dr. Robert Whitlock, spokesman for Potomac Fever diagnostic teams at the universities of Pennsylvania and Illinois. Three other Arabians and several thoroughbreds are “suspicious cases,” Dr. Whitlock said, but have not been confirmed. While Kentucky is famous worldwide for its thoroughbred breeding farms, LaGrange is the acknowledged center of the multi-million dollar Arabian horse industry. Researchers at several institutions are working “vigorously” to detect a rapid test and treatment for the disease, Dr. Whitlock said, but lack of sufficient funding has hampered progress. Dr. Whitlock and Dr. Miodrag Ristic of the University of Illinois are coordinating their diagnostic efforts, while related research is also being done at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg. Other animals and at least one human have been tested positive for “titers”, antibodies present only in an infected animal’s bloodstream. A veterinarian who had been treating Potomac Fever in horses had a positive test for titers, according to Dr. Whitlock. The patient’s clinical illness — lethargy — differed from the violent diarrhea and high fever which affects horses. This may be due to the fact that the rickettsia (bacteria) which has been found to cause Potomac Fever is similar to. that which causes Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. "Cits', .dogs, rodents, cows—and primates now seem to be susceptible to infection though they don’t show the clinical signs,” Dr. Whitlock said. “Potomac Fever is not a new disease in this country. We’re just making more accurate diagnoses of actual diarrheal illnesses in horses. Our main concern now is that it seems to be limited to this country. Tests on serum from England have been negative. This may be an American disease which we could transport to countries which are free of it.” In July, the New Bolton Veterinary Center in Pennsylvania, where Dr. Whitlock is chief of large animal medicine, announced that Potomac Fever is a national disease which has Building? • Paint • Lumber j • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton 347-1400 HUNT COUNTRY HOME HEALTH 1066 Hastings Lane Warrenton, Virginia 22186 Are You In Need Of Home Health Care?

Or,” he said, “they serve about the same time,” he continued. “After everything grinds through the system, the end results don’t follow what the public would expect from its correctional system.” Farrar said almost everyone would agree that the system needs to be simplified, but he knows of no specific legislation to be introduced this year. “Usually, there’s at least one member in the General Assembly who will introduce a bill on parole every year, though,” Farrar said. Forrest Powell, of the Department of Corrections, said that the latest good time regulations were designed to simplify the process, but i f v_ ; NUGGETS OF TRUTH j 9 By REV.

Matt. 4:23 "And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the king- _ dom, and healing all manner of sickness and 9 all manner of disease among the people." £ Verse 24, “And his fame went throughout all 0 Syrta: and they brought unto him all sick peo- 9 pie that were taken with diverse diseases and P torment, and those which were possessed S with devils, and those which were lunatic, and £ those that had the palsy: and he healed p them.” As we follow the scripture, it is plain to 5 see that Jesus wants you and me to be £ healthy. It is His will. (Matt. 8:2 & 3). Matt. 9 8:17, "That it might be fullfilled which was £ spoken by Esaias the prophet, say Himself 0 took our infirmities, and bare our sickness." 9 Matt. 11:5 'The blind receive their sight, and P the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and ? w the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the S 9 poor have the gospel preached to them." 0 P As you read this, it is building your faith; 9 5 getting you to the place where you can re- P Z ceive your healing,Horn. 10:17 "So then faith ? 0 cometh by hearing, and heanng by the word y of God." II Cor. 4:11, “For we which live are 0 always delivered unto death for Jesus sake, ¥ that the life also of Jesus might be made man- S Ifest In our mortal flesh." The life of Jesus is to ? shine thru our spirit, soul, (mind) and body. If y _ you are sick and you think that is what suffer- 0 £ ing for Jesus means, this is wrong thinking. 9 X You are sick because you have not been suf- £ y feting for Jesus.

The disease was first believed to be limited to Montgomery County, Md., the area hardest hit in the last five years. Then cases began cropping up in New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, New York, Idaho, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. California and Colorado have suspected cases. More than a dozen states are now reporting Potomac Fever cases and the losses paid by equine insurance companies are becoming alarming, according to Sjandie Cafritz, Potomac Fever chairman for the Morris Animal Foundation, a non-profit organization which has been the primary sponsor of research. Ms. Cafritz, owner of an Arabian stallion which recovered from Potomac Fever, said that she is extremely concerned for all breeds.
