On the preliminary agenda are matters of the routine: An update on the county’s continuing attempt to settle on an adequate insurance policy; a report from Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District; a citizen’s objection to the proposed site of the animal shelter near the Scrabble School. Also scheduled is a public hearing to discuss the state highway department proposal, or sixyear plan, for local roads. However, it is possible Supervisors maybe asked to review the 1985 proposed zoning ordinance which was reviewed in closed session by the Rappahannock Planning Commission. That had not been placed on the agenda as of early this week. Supervisors meet in the county courthouse, Washington, at 10 a.m. Election preview Inside this edition of the Rappahannock News is a 12-page special edition entitled “Election Preview.” Included in the supplement is a look at the 1985 campaign trail and a profile of each of the six candidates contending for statewide offices. The four-color section, produced by Arundel Newspapers, also includes a brief history of Virginia politics, the election process in the Old Dominion and a listing of polling places. When it snows... In all too short a time, the public school community will begin to wonder about their schedules. When winter comes along — and it’s not very far away — and snowfall places the opening of school that day in doubt, an announcement to cancel school for that day will be made on any one of the radio or television stations listed below. If no announcement is made, students, parents and teachers are expected to report to school at normal hours. Otherwise, an announcement will be made on: WFTR, Front Royal, 1450 AM WCVA, Culpeper, 1490 AM WRAA, Luray, 1330AM WKCW, Warrenton, 1420AM WFLS, Fredericksburg, 1350AM, 93.3FM WSVA, Harrisonburg, 550AM WHSV, Harrisonburg, TV Ch. 3 WINC, Winchester, 1400AM, 92.5FM WRVA, Richmond, 1140AM WJMA, Orange, 1340AM, 96FM Winning decorations Cheryl and Buddy Brown won the house decorating contest held in conjunction with last weekend’s Sperryville Apple Harvest Festival, it was announced this week.

The Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals made that decision during its meeting on Oct. 23 after an hour of discussion. Hitt and Grave would have operated the business on Route 626 near Hope Hill Baptist Church. They requested a special use permit to store not more than five cars at a time behind a garage. Any one car would not have remained on the property for more than two weeks, according to the application. Hitt said that he would want the right to keep cars there longer in case an insurance adjuster could not get to the property in two weeks. “We have a one-ton wrecker, so we wouldn’t be handling any big trucks,” Hitt said. “We’d mostly be dealing with people who know me in Fairfax and in Rappahannock. " He said the business would be a storage service for wrecked vehicles, but he would take out motors and do other work at times. BZA members Peter Kramer and Sharon Luke advised Hitt that the application could only be considered with the two-week limitation unless he decided to submit and readvertise another application. Luke read a Planning Commission recommendation for denial of the application and several letters from Route 626 residents opposing business. Six more residents spoke in opposition to the proposed application. They said if the towing and storage service was allowed, they would be concerned about safety on Route 626, the possibility that more than five cars could eventually be kept at the business, possible pollution of streams from runoff and about the effect on land values. Hitt presented a petition favoring the business signed by 16 other residents in the area. He said the garage is on graded, flat land and the nearest stream is at least 3,000 feet away from where the cars would be. “I admit that the road is bad, but I think they (the highway department) may be getting ready to improve it,” Hitt said. ‘‘We wouldn’t advertise the business.” Grave said five cars would not make a junk yard, and she asked what difference how long a car was kept would make. She said the length of a car’s stay would be “open-ended.” BZA member Gregory Monahan said an automotive garage would support the agricultural base since “people have to have cars and farm equipment and they have to be fixed at times.” He said storing wrecked cars would not be included in the garage category.

Jacobson, a Castleton resident, used books to teach the class about Halloween’s history and why certain figures have been used through the years. She traced Halloween’s development through the history of devils, the Druids and Christian input to the present. Jacobson taught the children about the idea of festivals and how nighttime and the time of year with harvest and fall have influenced Halloween. Early beliefs that souls could be brought out at night led to the popular figures of ghosts and witches. Jacobson taught the children magic words to say before they worked their bags. She said she taught the class about positive and negative space and printing techniques as they turned canvas bags into trick-or-treat bags. ' She had the children practice block printing with the shapes they had chosen on pieces of paper before they started decorating the bags.

Group wants to reconstruct historic Jamestown From Staff and Wire Reports JAMESTOWN — An anonymous group of people is considering reconstructing part of Colonial Jamestown and building tourist facilities, including a national chain motel, nearby. The project would include the reconstruction of 60 buildings of the Jamestown community of 1670, said Alexander C. Graham Jr., a Richmond lawyer representing a group of unidentified members of the JamestownYorktown Foundation Inc. Mr. Graham said the plans are to reconstruct Jamestown, if possible, on its original site. If that location is not available, then the project would be built nearby. The first public indication of the venture came last week at the James City County Board of Supervisors meeting, when Mr. Graham asked the county to apply for a $700,000 federal block grant to pay for constructing brick and lime kilns in the project. Mr. Graham asked at the board’s meeting Oct. 21 that a public hearing be held Oct. 31 so the supervisors could consider the grant application. Jobless rate unchanged RICHMOND — Seasonal hiring by schools and crop harvesters offset layoffs in construction and tou Virginia Roundup rism to keep Virginia’s jobless rate unchanged from August to September, the Virginia Employment Commission said Monday. The state’s five largest urban areas also saw no change or only slight shifts in unemployment, the VEC said. Three die in crash EMPORIA — A Corapeake, N.C., woman who survived a fiery auto crash that killed three other people in Southampton County was listed in critical condition early today in Norfolk General Hospital. Judy Roades Blake, 17, whose 2-year-old son, Michael Roades, died in Saturday’s two-car crash on U.S. 58, was in the bum trauma unit of the hospital. Ms. Blake and her son were passengers in a car Prof says AIDS no threat RICHMOND — Henrico County school officials should not bar a 5-year-old afflicted with AIDS from attending public school, a Medical College of Virginia professor said Friday. “There is no absolute evidence that AIDS is transmitted child to child,” said Dr. Lisa Kaplowitz. Studies of acquired immune deficiency victims who have maintained casual contact with other family members in close living situations have proved the low risk of transmission other than from the mother’s womb before birth or through blood transfusions, she said. Henrico School Superintendent William C. Bosher Jr. said the child will not be allowed to return to Laburnum Elementary School. Hennco school officials said the kindergarten pupil was diagnosed as having the infectious and so far incurable disease Oct. 16. The confirmed diagnosis of AIDS is the first in the Hennco public schools and, according to a spokesman for the Virginia Department of Education, the first confirmed case in the state. Serial killers at work RICHMOND — About 4,000 people are killed each year by strangers, and many of the slayings are the work of serial killers, says FBI agent Robert K. Ressler. Serial killers, out of pleasure or some psychological compulsion, take numerous lives, and the phenomenon appears to be on the rise, Mr. Ressler said. The U.S. Justice Department says 36 serial killers are at work today. None, Ressler said, are believed to be in Virginia. A 16-year veteran of the FBI, Mr. Ressler, 48, is a specialist in homicides — particularly serial murders. “We deal in the worst, most violent, most heinous crimes in the world,” he said. He gets to meet many infamous people in his job. People like David Berkowitz, the “Son of Sam” killer who claimed 13 victims in New York City in the 1970s. And Richard Speck, who murdered eight student nurses in Chicago in 1966. And Edmund Kemper III, who decapitated his mother and killed nine other people in California in the 1960s and 1970s. Mr. Ressler works at the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime and the FBI Academy, both in Quantico. The center, with a budget of some $3.5 million, came on line just last July. There, FBI agents, behavioral scientists and computer specialists provide hightech assistance to local police departments in probing unusual, hard-to-solve murders. 31st District’s Guest prepares for 15th year By DOUG GARDNER AridilN»»in»«n8UffWritar Like most candidates for the state legislature, Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. has been out and about during the fall campaign. But unlike many, he doesn’t need to be. The 14-year veteran of the Virginia House of Delegates is unopposed for re-election in the 31st District, which includes the Fauquier precincts of Leeds, Marshall, Remington and Waterloo, as well as Rappahannock, Clarice and portions of CulpeperCounty. “You’ve got to go out and be accessible,” said the 46-year-old Warren County farmer and businessman, who believes his popularity and lack of an opponent prove that constituents like the job he is doing. Without worries about the elections, Mr. Guest has time to look on to the 1986 Virginia General Assembly. Though the opening of the Assembly remains more than two months away, the major battles of the year already seem to have formed, Mr. Guest said. ^The two targe issues willbe education and water,”.Mr. Guest said in a telephone interview this week from his Front Royal office. Local governments are hoping and pushing for full state funding for the state “Standards of Quality,” ed ucational guidelines which each school system must follow. The state provides only a portion of the money needed to pay for programs required by the standards. Localities must pick up the remainder of the tab. “I think certainly the state will go higher,” Mr. Guest said of the state’s share of the cost of implementing the standards. “Whether they’ll go to the full extent. . . I just don’t know.” Mr. Guest said he wants to see the latest state revenue projections, due out in December, before he decides how he will vote on that issue. Education will have to compete with corrections and other needs for the extra money, he added. Mr. Guest said it is unlikely there will be a nugor tax increase to provide additional funds. However, he has heard “rumbling” that there may be a push either to delete the tax exemption for gasohol or to increase the tax on gasoline by a penny or two. Water will be the other major issue during the Assembly session, said the delegate. The State Water Commission isr conducting a series of public hear-' ings around the state to measure public opinion on proposed changes in the state’s means of dealing with water demands and use.

Baides has a 9-point lead over Republican Wyatt B. Durrette in the race for governor, according to a new statewide poll. While Mr. Baides appears to be the gubernatorial favorite in Tuesday's election, the poll indicated the races for lieutenant governor and attorney general are too close to call. Forty-eight percent of the 826 poll respondents picked Mr. Babies, compared to 39 percent for Mr. Durrette, with 13 percent undecided. In the race for beutenant governor, the poll gave Democrat L. Douglas Wdder 41 percent to 40 percent for Repubkcan John H. Chichester, with 19 percent undecided. Democrat Mary Sue Terry was picked by 42 percent of the respondents, compared to 39 percent for Repubbcan W.R. “Buster” O’Brien in the race for attorney general; IS percent were undecided. Commissioned by The Fauquiet Democrat and other newspapers, the telephone poll of 825 registered voters “likely to vote” Nov. 5 was conducted Oct. 22-27. The poll, designed and conducted by MasonDixon Opinion Research Inc. of Co lumbia, Md., has a 3.5 percent margin of error. Despite indications that Democrats lead statewide, the poll in most cases favored Republicans in this region of Virginia. While Mr. Baliles’ support statewide has increased 7 points to 48 percent since September, the poll gave Mr. Durrette the lead: • 49 percent to 35 percent in the Central Piedmont region (including Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper and Stafford counties). • 45 to 42 in Northern Virginia (including Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties). • 50 to 38 in the Shenandoah region (including Clarke, Warren and Frederick counties). Statewide, the latest poll results are consistent with all others publicized. Previous Mason-Dixon polls favored Mr. Baliles over Mr. Durrette, 40-39 in June, 41-39 in July and 41-35 in September. The latest poll indicates Mr. Baliles leads among women (53-35) and blacks (76-10), while Mr. Durrette leads among men (43-42) and whites (45-41).

Cenlel deregulates equipment Customers leasing equipment from Central Telephone Company of Virginia (Centel) will be allowed to buy that equipment under a new deregulation plan to take effect Jan. 1. “Customers who are leasing their telephone equipment from Centel may continue to lease that equipment at existing rates if they desire to do so,” said CentePs Virginia Vice President-Operations Dale L. Cross. “They also will continue to have the option to purchase their leased equipment in place or return it to Centel. The State Corporation Commission is allowing deregulation of the telephone equipment used by Centel customers. Residential and single-line business customers who wish to purchase the telephone equipment they are now leasing are advised to call Centel’s business office at the number listed in the telephone directory. And multi-line business customers who wish to purchase their telephone equipment in place should contact the Centel Business Communications (sales) group at the number listed in their telephone directory. “Customers who are currently leasing equipment from us will have their leasing arrangement continued (at present rates) unless they notify Centel that they wish to purchase or return their equipment,” Cross said. I Historic milestones through headstones Two young authors, turned on to history by their explorations of graveyards in Northern Virginia, have published thenfirst book as a result of those explorations. Peter Exton, whose parents are Lt. Gen. (Ret.) and Mrs, Hugh Exton of Amissville, is a former book salesman for Simon and Schuster. But he and University of New Hampshire English teacher Dorsey Kleitz, have teamed to publish “Milestones into Headstones,” a collection of short biographies of 50 famous Americans buried in Washington, D.C. As students, the authors planned to write a guide to famous-name gravesites until they realized it was the lives of the people that made the gravesites worth visiting. Biographies include thosfe of Joe Louis, George Washington, Mathew Brady, Abner Doubleday, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., as well as those people who made significant contributions to history but whose names are not particularly well-known. For instance, the book sketches Vinnie Ream who, as a teenage sculptress, carved the full size statue of Abraham Lincoln that stands in the Capitol rotunda. It was Miss Ream’s first Peter Exton attempt at sculpting marble. Alexander Gardner, a Scottish immigrant who came to America to live in a utopian commune but wound up photographing some of the most haunting scenes of the Civil War is included also. The 230-page book is available in bookstores for $9.95 or from EPM books in McLean. Exton was graduated from the Schiller University in Heidelberg, Germany; he traveled throughout Europe singing and playing guitar in nightclubs. He performed in Washington area clubs such as the Cellar Door, the Birchmere and the old Warehouse in Alexandria. In 1978, using first-hand ac-^' counts from Cambodia refugees, Exton wrote amd recorded the song, “The Bloody Boys of Phnom Penh,” an indictment of the Pol Pot regime. The song was used to draw congressional and public attention to the Cambodian crisis during a time when entrance into the country was impossible. In 1981, Exton called on Kleitz, his long-time friend, to help with the project that ended with “Milestones into Headstones.” Hospice volunteers sought in county The hospice of the Rapidan is i need of volunteers to assist with te: minally ill patients within its servic area which includes parts of Rapps hanno^k County.

Va. 22747 HOURS: 8 30 a m to 5 30 pm, Mon.-Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation v_____) THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31,1985 Editorials Cast a vote One of America’s most sought-after commodities comes to pass next week. Tuesday is Election Day, that day brought about by hundreds of years of town square debate and battlefield bloodshed. More than 3,200 Rappahannock County residents are registered to vote in Tuesday’s election, according to recent figures furnished by the county registrar. It is the personal responsibility of each of those 3,200 citizens to get out and cast a vote. By doing so, each voter helps mold the government he or she wants in place. And this year, the government that assumes power of the Old Dominion as a result of Tuesday’s balloting will indeed be a powerful one. This year, Virginians are asked to: - elect a governor, - elect a lieutenant governor, - elect an attorney general. In addition, we in the 31st district are asked to cast a vote to fill a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. These are decisions not to be taken lightly, although preliminary polls indicate many Virginians are apathetic about the choice of candidates. Voting is not only a privilege, but a serious responsibility. We hope that a good number of the 3,200 out there , casts a ballot on Tuesday. .Safety first Today is day for the kids. Halloween, a time to dress up in costumes, go trick-ortreating and generally ignore the dentist’s best advice, is also a time to be even more careful than usual. Parents should be careful that their children are dressed properly: that costumes can easily be seen by the passing motorists, will not cause injury to their child by falling over loose-fitting material or being cut by sharp objects, are fire resistant. Parents should also be aware that not everything children bring home should be eaten. Inspect the bounty. Throw away anything that looks even remotely suspicious. Also, kids themselves should be careful. Do not accept rides from strangers, do not approach a darkened house and do not enter a house or apartment of a stranger. Lastly, history makes it all too clear that vandalism and Halloween seem to go together. They do not. Vandalism is not only expensive to correct, but can sometimes be dangerous. Halloween is supposed to be a fun time. Let’s keep it that way this year. > Rappahannock heritage An autumn’s harvest Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner Letters to the editor Protecting church rights To the editor: I am writing this, not as a religionist, but as a citizen speaking out — citizen who has religion and who appreciates the freedom of religion guaranteed in the Virginia and U.S. Constitutions. It’s been over a year now since a large group of county residents challenged the Planning Commission about its zoning plan that would regulate “church” property and require special use permits for expansion of facilities and for new building. Since then, the Planning Commissioners offered a number of local ministers a “sweetheart deal” that would free their churches from the onerous restrictions, but would put them in effect for any new religious groups or denominations coming into the area. It seems to me, however, that this would clearly be a violation of the provision of the Virginia Constitution that prohibits the conferring of “any peculiar privileges or advantages on any sect or denomination.” My concern, though, is not so much that our local officials would attempt this kind of compromise, but that those ministers — representatives of Jesus — would accede to such a move. While traditionally they wheedle about doctrine and persecute their fellow religionists, Christian apos tacy has always consisted of the established church making its bed with Caesar, seeking its preferment at the expense of others. This was true in Nazi Germany, it was true in the Middle Ages, it was true in Rome after Constantine and it is true here in Rappahannock County — to a much lesser extent, but the principle remains the same. It’s a double shame in the fact that not so long ago in the scale of history the shoe was on the other foot, and the laws were being written against their denominations, even as close by as Culpeper, where Baptists were jailed for preaching openly. If anyone thinks that these zoning laws directed against churches are to protect the “quiet enjoyment” of residential property, think again. Richard McNear, who drafted the plan, went on record with the true motives. I quote from the Rappahannock News of Aug. 23, 1984: “He (McNear) said the special use was an effort to ensure protection of neighbors from other than standard Christian religions.” A recent article in the Washington Post showed that this use of zoning laws to attack the free practice of religion is fairly widespread, but that in some areas, churches have overcome it by uniting against it, rather than accepting self-serving compromises. An effort is being made in Virginia to get a new state law written that would grant all religions exemption from zoning laws. It seems to me that this would be the best way to go. As John Thebum, a Christian activist who is behind'the move, says: “I think you are better off tolerating a certain amount of abuse from problem cases and having a free society than throwing (other religions) out of a community because of a few problem cases. ” It might be remembered also that the U.S. Constitution places a higher value on religious rights, which cannot be abridged, than it does upon property rights, which can be denied by due process of law. I only hope that the Rappahannock pastors who agreed to tire compromise solution will change their position radically and follow Jesus’ instructions to keep the things of God separate from the things of government, and as pastors — leaders of flocks — free themselves from all entanglements ith politics. I hope a w .. that, cy and their congregations, as individual citizens, will get behind this needed law and help get it passed. PETER B. HOLLEY Boston Remembering Martin Monroe To the editor: Martin Monroe was a bonnie Scot . who lived for a while in Rappahannock. He had been with the renowned Highlander Regiment when it was stationed in Egypt. I met Martin in the late ‘60s when we had the Lee Street Shop and Martin was commercial agent at the British Embassy. In Warrenton, Maring began building a business based upon Pimpernel mats. Before he died, the business had grown into that of the internationally renowned Pimpernel mats. .mi/ (The mats are note a vaHabitn+t .. the Lee Street Shop in the Washington Antique Center, Porter and Gay Streets.—Ed.)

Box 59, Washington, Va., ' 22747, or delivered at the news office on Main Street, off the cuff Paul McFarlane Maybe by the weekend my knee will loosen up. The shoulders should be back to normal by, oh, Monday or Tuesday. I’m giving my rib cage until the middle part of next week to stop throbbing. Company picnics are torture. To those folks who ran in Saturday’s Turkey Ridge Run — except for those ringers from James Madison University who deserve to be hurt — you have my sympathies. No one should feel this stiff, this old. I did not run in the road race; jogging, I believe, violates the common law of man that prohibits the purposeful inducement of physical pain on one’s own self. Feel very strongly about that. Saturday was our company picnic, that day when older people think they can talk themselves into feeling like teenagers Bad bet for a day; play a lot of softball, eat a big lunch and play some more softball. Company picnics will soon be categorized with jogging great distances. The day after physical exertion, even two days after, our bodies remind us who’s really in charge and make us pay for all that silly running around we foolishly thought we could maintain. I watched about three minutes of the New York City Marathon on Sunday morning — the morning after the three games we played — and felt bad. Real bad. Watching those 18,000 or so runners sweat and toil through the streets of New York only made me feel worse. (I get a kick out of hearing the television announcer say something about the field running through the Bronx. Unless I’m in a locked car, that’s the only way I’m going through the Bronx.) The in-house softball tournament was supposed to be big stuff. This company has about four basic divisions large enough to field a softball team, the Rappahannock News not included. We barely have enough employees to field a basketball team, let alone finding 10 players to occupy a softball diamond. We’re combined with the staff from the Fauquier Democrat. We get that a lot around here. These four groups are paired to play off in the semifinal for the right to get out there again in the finals. The winning team was awarded a trophy. Pretty spiffy stuff. Except when you forget that the teenage body packed and left 10 years earlier. First base seems like an eternity from home plate. Throwing to second from right field is ridiculous. Running into the dugout from right field is a marathon. I stopped at second base for a water break on the way in after the third out. Getting through the seven-inning games/s an eternity. What happens to people when they get older? How can people who used to be able to run around all day and all night suddenly allow their bodies to deteriorate to the point of fragility? Hamstrings haven't got a chance. Somebody should have told us this happens when we get full-time jobs. It wasn’t all that long ago that I could dive for line drives and slide into third — or at least run to third — and all that drivel we thought would make the highlight films of our minds. In fact, standing out in right field on Saturday — deep enough so that no one would hit it that far forcing me extend myself and threaten the life and wellbeing of the hamstrings — I thought about the last time I stood in the outfield. It cost me a six-pack of expensive, imported beer I lost on a bet. Friday night softball games for high school seniors was the name; being as obnoxious as possible was the game. For some reason, the director of the local parks and recreation department in my hometown had the brainstorm ef offering high school kids the chance to play softball under the lights at the new ^ park. “Give these good kids something constructive to do,” was his idea. I guess that’s why he is the former director of the parks and recreation department. If there’s one cardinal rule about kids who just graduated high school — who, in many cases now have a set of wheels, a little pocket money from their summer jobs and a sense of cockiness never before demonstrated — it’s never give them a chance to show off in front of a crowd. Especially on a Friday night. But there we were: Friday night, trying to impress some girl we liked, but were too cool to talk to during the school year. Alan Zelinski had other ideas. Alan played left field and spent most of this night watching balls fly over his head and over the fence behind him for a home run. Our team was getting crunched pretty good. A second cardinal rule: Never let the hands of a high school senior trying to show off go idle. Ours did. From my position in left-center field, I challenged Alan to a bet: If he threw the next ball that came to him over the backstop at home, I would present him with a six-pack of imported beer, the stuff in green bottles newspaper people can illafford to buy in their working years. Alan, who, as a catcher in a Little League all-star game, was hit on the back of the head with a bat, was never strung particularly tight in the first place. Making a bet like that just fueled the fire of decadence, and Alan always had the match lit to ignite such a fire. Enough with the metaphors, already. The only hedge I had was the hope "that our pitcher would continue to be as bad as he was the first five innings; No ball would be hit short enough to get to Alan and my pocket money would remain in my possession. I was wrong. Somebody hit the ball short and it reached Alan on about two bounces. I could see Alan s eyes widen and gleam with the thought of winning a bet — and with the realization that he was given the chance to show off in front of a Friday night crowd. Alan charged the ball like a major league outfield, duck-hopped and launched the most beautiful, arching throw you ever wanted to see. It easily sailed over the backstop, landed in the street behind the park and rolled into the sewer drain. Alan was too proud for words. The umpire threatened to cancel the game if we didn’t play right. The shortstop was incapacitated by laughter. The parks and recreation director prepared his resignation. The girls thought the whole idea was ridiculous. I counted the quarters and nickels in my pocket to be sure I could pay up. I lmow today that Alan, if he maintained the same vigorous workout schedule I keep, could never reach the backstop. I feel like I tried to heave one over into the sewer drain. Maybe by next year’s picnic I’ll be stretched out enough to walk without a limp.

Democrats hold marginal lead George Bowles i There doesn’t seem to be much doubt that, from the vantage point of a week or so before the election, the Democratic ticket appears to hold a strong, if not decisive, lead in every public opinion poll that has been released. Those include surveys by Democrats, Republicans, and independent political pulse takers. Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gerald L. Baliles, as this is written, has outscored Republican Wyatt B. Durrette, on the average, by a surprising dozen or more percentage points. Even more surprisingly, Democratic lieutenant governor candidate L. Douglas Wilder is maintaining a substantial six to seven point lead over Republican John H. Chichester while Democratic attorney general candidate Mary Sue Terry eryoys about the same advantage over Republican W. R. “Buster” O’Brien. It is necessary to emphasize that hese standings apply only as this is written because they will almost :ertainly narrow as the Election Day approaches, and may well have done io by the time this reaches print. Nevertheless as things now itand and if the election were held •oday, there would appear to be mother statewide Democratic riumph similar to that of 1981 in the naking. But the elections are not being leld today, and that reality should lampen the understandable attitude )f restrained jubilation which is beginning to spread through the Democratic ranks. As encouraging as the Democratic poll scores may seem, political observers around the Capitol say the party still has ample :ause for worry. One reason for this worry is that the poll results are seen as “squishy.” That means that nany of those responding who indicated a Democratic preference lid so without strong conviction and ire regarded as anything but sure Democratic votes on Election Day. Those are the voters who could t>e lost if a Democratic candidate makes a misstep, or a Republican :andidate comes out with some statement or position of which the iroter strongly approves. Durrette clearly hopes that his newly announced position favoring supervised school prayer might hav this effect. A second reason is the large number of voters who still have not been able to make up their minds about whom they prefer in one or more of the races. With time growing short before the balloting, the polls show the number of undecided voters to be remarkably large. This is a source of worry for the Democrats and of hope for the GOP. Voter apathy, which has been a matter of puzzling concern during most of campaign season, is still rampant and threatens to remain so up to Election Day. The prospects o a low voter turnout, just as there Was a low response to earlier voter registration efforts, is very real. Th question is, whom v/ill it benefit? In most previous years a low voter turnout has benefitted the Republican candidates. The theory is that the members of the traditional Democratic constituency groups are more likely to respond tc incentives not to go to the polls thar are the GOP loyalists. In other words, a rainy day would keep more Democrats at home than Republicans. But this year may be different. The apathy is widespread and it is affecting both parties. Both Democratic and Republican strategists agree fewer voters will J show up at the polls. Under these circumstances its effect could be a “wash” or it could marginally help the Democrats. Thus, the pre-election polls notwithstanding, there are still enough variables out there to make this anybody’s election year. What it will almost certainly come down to is a knockdown and dragout battle by party workers to haul the votes, some of them kicking and screaming, to the polls on Election Day. Indeed, for the Democrats, it is the possible overconfidence on the part of their planners and leaders, as ^ well as voter apathy in the light of their glowing survey results, which could do them in. Any letup in their e efforts before the polls actually close on Nov. 5 could hand the elections to the GOP. And, for the Republicans, the possibility of such a letup may be their best chance of finally turning the figures around in the only poll which really counts. But make no mistake. Apathy has stalked this election from the beginning, and stalks it still. The party which does the better job of overcoming it by effective precinct work on Election Day will likely claim the Governor’s Mansion and pick up the other statewide marbles. 35 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the Oct. 26, 1950 edition Avery impressive dedication ceremony was held at Rappahannock County High School, a day set aside all over the nation to present flags made by Home Demonstration and 4H clubs to their high schools. A special brand of rabbit’s foot or four-leaf clover was riding with Braxton James at Amissville when his tractor got out of control and crashed into a gas tank at Palmer’s Store.

The second suggests discovering the record of the search and its results. Similar words, properly yet rarely used in the same context, are CHURCH and BIBLE In church a man pursues his spiritual research: He seeks the truth and joy that others have sometimes found recognizing that some did not always find them In the Bible a man surveys the account of earlier searches and their results He can link his own findings to all that was revealed to those who searched before i him In this scientific age it may be that you, like many before, require research and documentation for your religious beliefs In the laboratory and library God has provided — they're waiting for you now.

Fifth-place Rappahannock, 5-8, looks to even district record Basketball coaches like to say the ball sometimes takes funny bounces. In the case of Rappahannock County varsity head coach Joel Voorhees, the ball is bouncing from side-to-side, rather than up-anddown the way it should be. Case in point: In the season-opener, the Panthers — the untested, inexperienced, rookie-coached Panthers — blew out Warren County, 57-39. On Monday, Rappahannock, rather than repeating the blowout, simply “blew it” in a 49-48 loss to the same Group AA Warren County Wildcats. “I felt we were much better than they were,” said Voorhees who, in his first year at Rappahannock, has seen his team carry a 5-8 district record and a 7-10 overall mark into Tuesday’s final game of the year against Brentsville. “We just didn't execute.” Against Luray, another non-district opponent, Rappahannock won the first matchup by four points, only to lose the rematch by the same margin a month later. Voorhees said that has been a problem all year. “We just can’t seem to beat the teams that are worse than us,” said the coach. For the Panther, to reach their goal of a . 500 season — which would mean an 8-8 finish — the Panthers will more than likely have to beat three teams with better records in the final three outings. Voorhees is hoping to beat Brentsville in the regular season finale, then beat a higher seed team in the tournament and win the semifinal game to even the team’s record. “If we lose in the tournament finals, I wouldn’t mind finishing lower than . 500” he said with a grin. In Monday’s loss, Rappahannock trailed the Wildcats by one point with 28 seconds to play, only to turn over the in-bounds pass, allowing the Wildcats to score a breakaway layup to increase their lead to three points. Following a timeout, Rappahannock’s all-district candidate Karen Jordan, who is the team’s leading scorer with a 24 points-per-game average, took the ball end-to-end to cut the lead to one point with four seconds left. Rappahannock failed to call time out and the clock expired. "111 take some of the blame (for not calling timeout)," Voorhees said. "But there’s still no way you should lose when you win the first game by 20 points.” The loss. Voorhees said, was determined long before the final four seconds of the game. “Our bad passes and impatience lost us the ball many, many times,” Voorhees said. Rappahannock needed a win over visiting Brentsville Tuesday and a Page County loss to George Mason to finish in fifth place and face Brentsville in the opening round of the Bull Run District tournament, which is to start Tuesday. Rappahannock lost to Brentsville earlier in the season, 4S-43 on the road where “we blew it,” according to the coach. Heading into the final district game, Strasburg and Clarke County were tied for first place with 12-1 records and were to square off Tuesday to determine the district champion. George Mason (9-4) will finish third and Brentsville (7-b) is fourth. In the eight-team tournament format, the No. 1 seed plays No. b, No. 2 plays No. 7, No. 3 plays No. 6 and the Nos. 4 and 5 seeds play one another. Voorhees said he would prefer playing Brentsville in the first round in Nokesville, rather than play George Mason in Falls Church. The last time Rappahannock played at George Mason, three different Panthers were hit with technical fouls and Voorhees thought the Mustangs were treated with a bit of home-cooking from the game officials. “I would prefer playing Brentsville because of that,” Voorhees said. The tournament opens at the site of the higher-seeded school. The semifinals Nov. 7 and the finals Nov. 9 are scheduled for Warren Count} High School. It is a tournament in which Voor hees believes the Panthers can ad vance beyond the first round. “I don’t believe we are any worst than, maybe the third place team,’ Voorhees said earlier in the month. “We have the players. We just have to put it all together.” Inconsistency has been a splintei in the paw of these Panthers. In a 59-58 win over winless Stonewall Jackson on Oct. 1, three Rappahannock players scored 46 ol the team’s points, and were separated by only three points. Jordan, the team’s top scorer, led that game with 17, but Wendy “Bean” Stringfellow added 15 and Natalie Butler 14. Butler is averaging 10 points a night, second-best on the team. Then, the next game at Brentsville on Oct. 3, Rappahannock blew a seven-point lead and lost a more narrow lead in the final minute to drop the contest, 48-43. Then in the Stonewall rematch Thursday, a 58-52 Rappahannock win, Butler led with 19, Jordan added 17 and Stringfellow seven. In the loss to Warren County, Jordan led all scorers with 34 points and was the only Panther to score in double figures. “It’s inconsistency,” said Voorhees. Also, the coach indicated one problem may be that the team “doesn’t know how to hold onto a lead.” Rappahannock led the Brentsville Tigers by five at the half, 24-19, in the first matchup. But in the second half, Brentsville closed that gap. In the final minute, the Panthers led by a point, permitted a turnover, but still was in a position to win the game. “All we had to do was get the ball upcourt and set up a play,” Voorhees said. It was a lament he repeated in the loss to Warren County. Coach Joel Voorhees huddle with team. RCHS seniors tour campuses By JAMES T. FUTRELL Jr. RCHS guidanc e counselor Members of the 1985-86 senior class of Rappahannock County High School journeyed, on Sept. 27, to the campuses of Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown and Shepherd College in Shepherdstown, W. V'a. Anticipation was high and everyone was looking forward to some true insight as to college life. Once we arrived, we were separated into two groups and were assigned a guide. We were given tours and lectures regarding computer sciences and technology and secretarial science. In-depth information was extended each student and many questions were answered. Sometime later, we again, boarded the bus and were bound for Shepherd College. We were greeted with an invitation to have lunch in the dining hall and, needless to say, we welcomed the idea. There was much interest shown in this campus and we asked for literature and admission instructions. The trip home was used for discussion and interest was keen. The response was rewarding as the seniors came home with renewed interest and the day was, therefore, deemed a success. Astronomy club meets Nov. 18 An amateur astronomy club will have an organizational meeting at Lord Fairfax Community College on Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. in room 59. The group is open to anyone in the LFCC community. More information may be obtained by calling Prof. William Warren at the college at 869-1120.

A year in Rappahannock prompts artist fantasy By UArHINK HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News contributing writer What do the islands of Greec and the county of Rappahannoc have in common? Both are fantasy realms, magi kingdoms isolated from the ugliness the hostility and the strife of the res of the world, according to artist Rc bin Purnell. A year of study on the Greek is land of Samos turned Purnell fror an abstract to a realistic painter; year in Rappahannock has draw A mer. Golden apples, their curves touche d with a blush of pink, could have just come, crisp and juicy, from { Tom Lee's orchards. “I pet a great deal of satisfaction c in looking at a simple object and ’ translating what I see with my eyes onto paper; in taking a round, three dimensional object and recreating it on a flat surface,” Purnell said. With . killful use of light and i color, she doesn’t just reproduce, a she captures the essence of apple, i the essence of strawberry. Her ‘Rappahannock takes on a magical Quality at dusk. There’s a special glow to the light here just before dusk. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever seen.’ -Purnell her toward fantasy and surrealism. The two sides of her work — the realistic and the surrealistic — surface in the oil paintings and drawings that go on display Nov. 3 at Washington’s Middle St. Gallery. “House bound with two little children, I find myself staring out the window and across the fields a lot,” she confided, explaining the predominance of views from the town of Washington in her recent oils. “I could continue to paint Jenkins Mountain and Ginger Hill forever. It fascinates me — how the scene changes every day.” The greens are lush and luminous, the depth and richness of the colors bringing a three dimensional quality to the canvas. The light is of day’s end, the twilight that bestows an otner-worldly radiance on fields and forest. County people will recognize the radiance and remember the times they’ve slowed the car to a crawl on the drive home to marvel anew at the beauty of this place. Purnell has captured that beauty. “Rappahannock takes on a magical quality at dusk. There’s a special glow to the light here just before dusk. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever seen,” Purnell explained. The trees dotting the fields and the Black Angus cattle standing expectantly in the tall grass are stylized, more perfect than life. 1 "“I’m not trying to paint what the eye of the camera would catch,” Purnell noted.. Instead, she paints with the eye of an artist, an artist who sees “a magical place, an unreal place” from the windows of her rambling white house on Old 211. Captures essence Not all of the paintings on display at Middle St. Gallery are of Rappahannock, and the touches of fantasy and surrealism so striking in her landscapes are missing from Purnell’s still lifes. Strawberries on a blue and white china plate are so realistic you can taste their promise of sweet sum PEPCO readies for winter, offers program The Potomac Edison Company is conducting a program designed to reduce heat loss and decrease heating bills of low-income customers who heat with electricity. The project, called WRAP, which stands for Weatherization Residential Assistance Program, is available to homeowners and renters who meet state energy assistance guidelines. The two-year load management experiment will reach 120 homes in Virginia, providing funds for materials to be installed in the homes of residential customers who meet state low-income energy assistance guidelines. Also, the program includes a free energy analysis, workshops for consumers on weatherization agencies: on ways to conserve energy, provide (free of charge) electric water heater insulation jackets, electrical outlet draft seals, door sweeps and lowflow shower heads. More information concerning the program may be obtained by calling or contacting a Potomac Edison Residential Services representative. Additionally, the company is offering an Average Payment Plan to ease the crunch of winter’s high energy bills. The customer’s 12-month cost of electricity is averaged into 12 equal payments instead of six, bi-monthly payments. , The plan is designed to avoid paying larger bills during the peak heating or cooling periods of the year. The customer’s annual electric bills will be averaged into 12 payments based on actual electricity usage. Customers may sign up for the Average Payment Plan by contacting their nearest Potomac Edison office. paintings evoke the taste, the smell, the feel of the fruit. Hints of her past In Purnell’s portraits, both oil paintings and drawings, there are again traces of surrealism and the fantastic, and hints of her past. The wife of a foreign service officer, she spent two years in Liberia, West Africa and two years in Moscow. Hands holding an orange are strong black hands, the hands of a Liberian. The orange is brilliantly orange, a fruit that was tree ripened under Lie not West African sun. Her portraits of young women, all wreathed in luxuriant vegetation, show the influence of icons, the lumi nous religious paintings of the Soviet Union. Through her husband, who was the human rights officer at the American Embassy in Moscow, Purnell met dissidents and refusniks, prisoners of the Communist regime. The face on a nude is the face of one Jewish refusnik denied an exit from the Soviet Union. The sorrow — and the strength — of a persecuted people show in her face. The drawing and other depictions of the human form on display in the gallery are not traditional portraits. “I take the facial structure from one person, the eyes from someone else, the body from another, the coloring from another,” the artist explained. “I’ve done straight portraits. I know I can do portraits. Painting this way is more exciting for me...I find my imagination yearns to be set free.” Painting in composite Unleashes the imagination, Purnell discovered. “I start off with a portrait, with one person, and I take off from the face. I have fun with the face.” She’s stolen other faces from the old women who brought produce from their tiny backyard plots to Moscow’s private markets, the rare vestiges of capitalism in the communist capital. “The city of Moscow is tremendously hideous. I’ve never seen anything so ugly — miles and miles of dingy, drab apartment buildings. So the bits of beauty really stood out — the little log houses covered with gingerbread, the decorated windows, the little churches and the old women — the old women were beautiful. The things from the past that were struggling to survive, that’s what appealed to me in Moscow,” sPpmell said.

Authorized by Senator Elmon T. Gray. Treasurer Happy with crayons Robin Purnell has been an artist since childhood. “I don’t really remember this, but y grandmother tells me that she used to take me to a cabin (in the Massachusetts countryside near Boston) that my great-grandfather had built. We’d go in the winter, hike in on snowshoes. It would be freezing cold, and the cabin was heated with wood. My grandmother would start a fire, and while we were waiting for it to get warm, she’d give me crayons and paper, and I’d be perfectly content to sit on the cold floor and draw. ” The little girl in the snowsuit coloring on the cabin floor grew up to go to school at the Massachusetts College of Art and became an abstract painter. In her junior year, she studied on Samos Island in Greece. Her teacher convinced Purnell that “realism is more valid than abstraction in our society.” Then began a five year struggle to “draw, paint and see reality again...to remastei* those forgotten skills.” Her husband’s transfer to Liberia helped. “It was the perfect place to take off, to investigate realism. It was so colorful, the people were so beautiful. They didn’t wear many clothes, so I could see a lot of the body, how it worked, how it moved,” Purnell recalled. She had her first solo show at the American Ambassador’s home, some 40 pieces, all paintings and drawings of West Africa. “Everything sold in 20 minutes! I was so pleased — and astonished. Then, for my second show, people were waiting outside a half hour before it opened. I was overwhelmed. I still am,” Purnell admitted. “As an Si.

I’m always overwhelmed, always surprised when someone buys one of my paintings.” Breaking off the interview to retrieve her baby crawling across the gallery floor, she’s more the devoted mother than the dedicated artist. And it is the responsibilities of parenthood that take precedence over art. Purnell has juggled schedules unr returned to the United States. Now Robin thinks of the county as home — permanently. “It’s a great place to raise kids,” she said, speaking as a mother. As an artist, she finds both the county’s beauty and the county’s artists stimulating. She’s reorganized the group of painters and sculptors who used to meet regularly at Middle St. Gallery to work together. “I see a potential for my personal ‘The city of Moscow is tremendously hideous. I’ve never seen anything so ugly — miles and miles of dingy, drab apartment buildings/ -Purnell til four-year-old Ruthie and baby Alex go down for naps simultaneously. “Then I have to race to my studio and paint for a few hours. The same thing when they go to bed for the night. I don’t even look at the house on my way through,” she added, grinning. “I can’t — or I’d have to stop and clean up!” Home for mother and artist Friends in Moscow who owned land near Boston suggested to the Purnells that they look in Rappahannock for a place to settle when they growth and a chance to share with other artists,” she said. “I see myself spending a life time on realism. I also want to become more expert in oil painting. There’s so much to learn! It’s such a complex medium.” Smiling shyly, almost as if she’s afraid the listener will laugh, Purnell confided that she wants to paint Adam and Eve, taking the Garden of Eden from the countryside she studies from her windows and on walks with her children through the town. “Rappahannock does that to me.

A La Mort: ‘Help us, will ya? How do we get outta this?’ By EDUARD WELCH RCHS Eduard Welch is a junior at Rappahannock County High School. This essay, part of Eduard's ongoing Gifted and Talented work i n English, was completed for publication in the Rappahannock News. They left Tookey’s pad around eight in the morning; that was the kind of weekend it had been: Early to bed, early to rise. Tookey laughed, squinting through the dirtstained windshield of the battered Ford, pushing the pedal until the needle swung 40 miles over the speed limit. It was all LaMort’s fault, but LaMort, curled up on the seat beside him like an embryo in a black leather womb, didn’t seem to care. He was hurting too much, needing the quick jab of the sharp, sweet point and the hot flow of the stuff in his veins. “Man, what a weekend,” Tookey thought. And it wasn’t over yet. The fix was out there, someplace in the wilds of Maine, and Tookey, who never touched the filthy stuff himself, was playing good Samaritan. He hunched over the wheel, pounding the horn with the heel of this right hand, shouting at the passing cars: “Move over, move over; watch where you’re going, stupid; pull over, pull over you lousy....” “You tell 'em, man,” LaMort said softly. “You tell 'em what to do.” Tookey didn’t tell them; he showed them. He skinned the paint off a Pontiac as he snaked in and out of the line, and crowded so close to th6 tail of a Honda that he could have run right over the little grey car. LaMort began to giggle, urging him on, forgetting for the moment his destination and his need, delighting in the way Tookey used the car like a buzz saw, slicing a path through the squares in their Sundaydriving stupor. “Look out, man,” LaMort cackled. “Here comes old Tookey; here comes nothin’.” The traffic artery was starting to clot at the entrance to the tunnel, and Tookey poured it on, jockeying the car first left and then right, grinning at the competitive game. Nobody had a chance to win with Tookey at the controls. Tookey could just shut his eyes and gun her; nobody else could do that. They made the tunnel entrance after sideswiping a big yellow Caddy, an episode that made LaMort laugh aloud with glee. They both felt better after that, and the tunnel was cool after the hot morning sun. Tookey relaxed a little, and LaMort stopped his gutteral laughs, content to stare hypnotically at the blur of the white tiles. “I hope w'e find that fix, man,” LaMort said dreamily. “How much longer is it? Howr long?” Whish! A Chevy blasted by in the other lane, and Tookey swore. Whish! w'ent a Toyota, and Tookey bore down on the accelerator, wanting his revenge on the open road outside the tunnel. But the tunnel wound on, endlessly, longer than it ever had before. It w'as getting hot and hard to breathe. Lit .le pimples of sweat covered LaMort’s face and trickled dowm into his leather collar. The shirt clung damply to his back and underarms. LaMort started to whine. His eyes filled his face, and he gasped: “Man, I’m suffocating. I’m passing out....” “What do you want me to do?” Tookey yelled. Still the tunnel w’ound on. Whish! went the cars in the parallel lane and Tookey cursed his bad choice, cursed the heat, cursed LaMort, cursed all the Sundays that ever were. He shot a look at the balcony where the cops patrolled the traffic, and decided to take a chance. He slowed the car down to 30 and yanked the wheel sharply to the left to slip the car into a faster lane, right in front of a big, child-filled station wagon. Even in the tunnel roar they could hear its driver’s angry shout, and Tookey told him what he could do with his station wagon and his children. Still the tunnel wound on. They saw the hot glare of daylight at the exit. LaMort moaned in relief, but nothing could soften Tookey’s ire. They came out of the tunnel and turned onto the highway, only to jerk to a halt behind another station wagon with a smelly exhaust. “Come on, come on!” Tookey muttered, and blew his horn. But the horn didn’t start the cars moving, and Tookey, swearing, opened the door and had himself a look. “Oh, man, man. They’re stacked up for miles!” he groaned. “You wouldn’t think it’s possible....” “What is it?” LaMort inquired, stirring in his seat. “What is it? An accident?” “I dunno, I can’t see a thing. But they just ain’t movin’, not a foot,” Tookey responded. “I’m sick,” LaMort groaned. “I’m sick, Tookey.” “Shut up! Shut up!” Tookey said wamingly, hopping out of the car to stare at the sight again. The ribbon of automobiles vanishing into a horizon 15 or 20 miles away. Like one enormous reptile it curled over the highway, a snake with multicoloured skin, lying asleep under the hot sun. Tookey climbed back in again, and the station wagon moved an inch, a foot, and greedily, he stomped the gas pedal each to time to gobble up the gap. A trooper on a motorcycle bounced between the lanes, and Tookey leaned out of the window to shout at him, inquiring, but the cop rumbled on implacably. The heat got worse, furnace-like and scorching, making Tookey yelp when his hands touched metal. Savagely, Tookey hit the horn again, and heard a dim chorus ahead. Every few minutes, the station wagon jumped, and every few minutes, Tookey closed the gap. But an hour accumulated, and more, and they could still see the tunnel exit behind them. LaMort was whimpering now, and Tookey climbed in and out of the car like a mad jack-in-the-box, his clothes sopping with sweat, his eyes wild, cursing whenever he hit the gas pedal to crawl another inch, another foot forward.... “A cop! A cop!” he heard LaMort scream as a trooper, on foot, marched past the window. Tookey opened the car door and caught the uniformed arm. “Help us, will ya?” he pleaded. “What the hell’s going on here? How do we get outta this?” The witch who lost her power By SHANNON JONES RCES third grader Once there was a witch who had magic. Once every Halloween she would come out. One year she came out and went to use the magic, it would not work! She tried and tried and tried but it would not work. She went to the master of witches. She asked him what she had to do. He said, “You must get the witches fire stones.” She went to go get the stones and there were cob webs. She got the stones and did what her master said and then she got her magic back. Then she went back to her stuff. No return By SUSAN ESTES RCES seventh grader On the day before Halloween there was much excitement. Many children were searching for costumes, some for plastic frogs to put down girls’ dresses. On Halloween night, the children were roaming the streets. One boy, Mark, was trying to get the children scared by running around and stealing candy by means of: A glow in the dark skeleton; rats; mice, particularly white mice; and plastic spiders. He challenged people to go into the old Brewster House, a scary abandoned old house. It was said that old Mr. Brewster’s ghost haunted the place. Mark got one boy, John, to go through the house. Mark had been through the house before and set up some traps like a sheet that rises like a ghost when you pull a string, a plastic monster that will pop out of a bookcase and many other nasty tricks. On the way in, John did not know what Mark had done. After John had gone through the house and spent the night, Mark thought it was time he came out, but day after day and night after night John never came out. People say Mr. Brewster used John’s body to hold his soul and now Mr. Brewster roams the streets in John’s body, disguised as a blind man. The witch on a motorcycle By SHANNON EASTHAM RCES third trader First of all, it was Halloween night and soon I heard this scary sound. It sounded like a motorcycle so then I peeked around the comer and it was a witch on a motorcycle! And she ran over me.

You’re gonna have to ride this one out, Mack.” “We’ll even leave the freakin’ car. We’ll walk, for God’s sake. I don’t care about the friggin’ car....” “Sorry, mister. Nobody’s allowed off the highway, even on foot. You can’t leave this heap here; don’t you know that?” He studied Tookey’s sweaty face, and grinned suddenly. “Oh, I get it. You’re new here, ain’t you?” “What do you mean, new?” “I thou ;hi T never saw you in The Jam i■«ifo-< pal. Well, relax. Take it easy, fella.” “How long?” Tookey said hoarsely. “How long do you think?” “That’s a stupid question,” the trooper sneered. “Forever, of course. Eternity. Where do the hell do you think you are?” He jabbed a finger into Tookey’s chest. “But don’t give me a hard time, buster. That was your own wreck back there.” “Wreck?” LaWo. l rasped from inside the car. “Wnat wreck? What’s he talkin’ about, man?” “The wreck you had in the tunnel.” He waved his gloved hand toward the horizon. “That’s where all these jokers come from, tne tunnel wrecks. If you think this is bad, you ought to see the jam on the turnpike.” “Wreck? Wreck?” LaMort screamed, as Tookey climbed back behind the wheel. “What’s he talkin’ about wrecks for; Tookey?” “Shut up, shut up!” Tookey sobbed, pounding his foot o’i the gas pedal to gain yet another inch of road. “We gotta get outta here; we gotta get out!” But, even when the station wagon jerked forward once more, he knew7 he was asking for too much, too late. Halloween safety tips A tasty stew Avoid Halloween trick-or-treat tragedies by following these safety , tips released by the National PTA and the Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles. National PTA suggestions to make Halloween a safe, happy holiday for children and the community are: •Accompany children on their treat-gathering route. •Avoid unfamiliar neighborhoods or homes of strangers. •Tell children not to sample anything until they return home so that the treats can be inspected for possible tampering. •Tell children to politely decline any invitation to enter a home or apartment. Sililarly, don't encourage children you don’t know to enter your home. Give manufacturerwrapped treats rather than homemade goodies. •Make sure masks do not obstruct peripheral vision, or use make-up instead. •See that costumes are short enough so youngsters don’t trip. Bright colors or reflectorized costumes are more visible. •If costumes are purchased at a store, make sure they are “flameproof.” This includes masks, wigs and beards. The Virginia DMV warns against street sign vandalism on Halloween. Missing or damaged street signs cost Virginians thousands of dollars in addition to accident losses, injuries and fatalities, according to the Virginia Department of State Police. Motorists are advised to drive more alertly and to look for signs, trash, pumpkins or other objects thrown into streets. Car headlights should be turned on as soon as natural light fades. Besides bright colors and reflectors, the DMV recommends that trick-or-treaters carry flashlights to increase their visibility. By BARRY TURNMEYER RCES third grader One day this man pulled up at an old house. He was nice, too. He walked to the door. The man knocked and the old door creaked open. Then a witch grabbed him. He yelled! A ghost shot out of the closet. The witches’ friends came to see. The witch said, “Take him and put him in the stew.” So the.* did. The witches had a tasty stew that night. The mean witch By MARSHA WIG INGTON RCES second grader Once upon a time there lived a witch and she w7as mean. And did not like children at all. She did not eat people at all. She hated people, too.

Fifty-five people registered to run and 50 ran in the Third Annual Turkey Ridge Run sponsored by the fire department on Saturday. Eight people also entered the first Turkey Ridge Bike Race held before the run. Philip Strange, coordinator of the annual event, said $500 was raised this year, and the money will be used to help the department build an addition to the fire hall. Strange said a new course record was set by one of a group of James Madison University track team members, Doug Bloor. He came in three minutes under the old record at 39 minutes and two seconds. Lynda Durphee, of Alexandria, remained the women’s champion with a time of 51:31. Both first place winners received a turkey and a ribbon. Local runners who placed included: Frank Reynolds, second in the 40-49 age group; Ann Spieker, second in the 30-39 age group; Merrill Strange, third in the 30-39 age group; Richard Shay, second in the 15-19 age group and Marley Hay, third in the 15-19 age group. Allison Martin and Erin McCormick, both of Rappahannock, finished in the 14 and under age group. Jonathan Jackson won the bike race with a time of 28:03. Chris Parrish, of Rappahannock, was the winner in the over 30 age category. “One of the bikers started the race as a human and finished as a gorilla,” said Strange. “Somewhere along the line, Charles McClaugherty stopped and put on a gorilla costume to finish in.” Strange said McClaugherty was visiting a friend, Reg Williams, in the county. “It was an excellent year with perfect weather, and that’s important since the run is our biggest fiind raiser,” Strange said. “It’s also a lot of work.” William A. Hazel, Mt. Vernon Realty and Crick Plumbing sponsored the run/bike race. Frank Reynolds finishes Arm Spieker clocks out CCLC seeks scholarship funds By MARY TAUSS CCLC Director There are many children in this community who have been or are currently being helped by scholarships at The Child Care and Learning Center. Most children at the Center have working parents who depend on day care. Yet sometimes their salaries are not enough to cover the full tuition. The Center wants to help more children, but we need more scholarship money. Even filll tuition is not enough to cover the cost of what it takes to maintain a child in day care, but raising fees would prohibit many people from using The Center. Fund raisers and grants just barely cover expenses. There is a small scholarship fund now, but The Center would like to be able to reach more low-income and poverty level families, or those with a handicapped child. Scholarship money can be given annually, quarterly or monthly. Even a donation as small as $5 a month can be a help to some family. There may be a needy child whom you know and would like to sponsor, or money can be placed in the general fund. Putting a child in CCLC provides him or her with a consistent, stable and nurturing environment while the parents are working, and the children are served balanced and nutritious meals daily. If you are interested in donating to the scholarship fund — which is tax-deductible — contact The Center at 675-3237. Runners start ‘Turkey Ridge Run ’ Saturday. RCES SPTA holds sock hop, party The Rappahannock County Elementary School Student Parent Teacher Association will meet Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the school’s library.

The SPTA is sponsoring a Sock Hop and Fun Fair tomorrow from 79 p.m. in the school’s gymnasium to raise money for SPTA projects. Admission $1 per person, and families will be admitted for a single, $5 admission. Fun Fair activities will be extra. A haunted house, cake walk and other activities are planned. Students can compete in a costume contest. Parents are asked to bring baked goods. The seventh grade Class of 1985 donated the sound system for the hop. More information about the hop may be obtained by calling coordinator Edie Clark at 675-3188. The meeting Tuesday is open to the public. Baby-sitters will be on hand for those parents with children.

18-year-old evangelist sees self ‘different, average’ By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock N*w« atafT writer “Most people think I have flipped when they find out I’m an evangelist,” said Randy Brigman. “I like to think of myself as different, but I’m an average 18-year-old in most ways.” Randy was sitting in the mobile home he has shared since May with his parents on an evangelical tour of midwest and eastern states. The home, was parked temporarily behind the Family Worship Center in Washington. “We’ll be leaving here in a few days to hold meetings in the area, but we’ll be back in time for the rally,” Randy said. He was referring to the Youth Rally he will be leading at Rappahannock County Elementary School on Nov. 9. Randy and other youth from the area will be singing and playing instruments during the rally/concert. “All of the churches in the area are pushing the rally for all youth,” said Randy. Randy gestured and paused rarely as he spoke excitedly about the evangelical life. He has been involved in some type of ministry since he traveled as the drummer with a band when he was 13. Randy plays the drums, guitar and piano. “I usually handle all the music and singing ministry,” he said. After three years of traveling with the band, Randy returned home to Kerrville, Texas to concen ‘When some people find out what I do, they immediately turn off to me. That’s hard to face and get through’ -Randy Brigman Wakefield soccer, volleyball highlights By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News contributing writer Because of the weather, the varsity soccer team from Wakefield had all of their regularly scheduled matches cancelled this week. However, over the weekend, Wakefield traveled to Western Albemarle High School in Charlottesville to participate in the WAHS Third Annual Invitational Soccer Tournament. Other participants in the tournament included WAHS, Wood berry Forest and Charlottesville High School. For the first game, Wakefield faced the top seeded Western Albemarle. In the first half, Wakefield’s offense posed few threats to the opponent’s goal, however, the Wakefield defense held the Western Albemarle offense scoreless until late in the half when a defensive error gave Western Albemarle an easy score. In the second half, Western Albemarle scored two quick goals to build a 3-0 lead. Although Wakefield’s offense mounted several attacks late in the game, the team was turned away each time, resulting in the final 3-0 score. Although the Wakefield team did lose, Coach Uli Maeyer was delighted with the team’s performance because “a 3-0 loss to a team like Western Albemarle is something we can be proud of.” In Wakefield’s second game, the team faced Charlottesville High School. Unlike the first game, the first half featured several scores. After an early goal by Charlottesville, Jorge Gonzales, of Huntly, scored off a comer kick to tie the score at 11. T ien, after another quick score by Charlottesville, a goal by Larry Tarr, of Warrenton, knotted the score at 2-2. However, late in the half, Charlottesville scored two more goals en route to a 4-2 halftime lead. In the second half, Wakefield had several opportunities to score, but failed to capitalize on each attempt. Although the defense held Charlottesville to a single second half goal, Wakefield still came away with a 5-2 defeat. The varsity team will face Tara Reston and Word of Life School in home games this week. The Wakefield girls’ volleyball team traveled to Randolph Macon Academy in Front Royal for the seventh game of the team’s first season. In the match, Wakefield took the first game 15-11, but dropped the next three 15-13, 15-10 and 15-8 respectively to lose the match 3-1. Coach Cindy Baker viewed the team’s performance as good. “They were playing well as a team,” she added. Later in the week, the Wakefield team played Emmanuel Christian School in Manassas. Wakefield lost the match, 3-0, losing 15-5 each game. There remain only two more games on the 1985 volleyball schedule. The team will play Tara Reston at home and travel to Word of Life School for the final game of the season. The Delaney Tournament is scheduled for Nov. 2 at Emmanuel School in Manassas.

His father was a pastor for 12 years and worked at a Christian ranch. “In January, we were traveling and did some revival meetings,” Randy said. “My father realized that he had done what he could do as a pastor, so we thought about going into evangelical work full-time.” Randy graduated from a small, Christian school on May 17, and he and his parents left on May 20. Randy’s older brother takes care of the business part of the venture from Texas, and his younger sister is finishing school. “I had started my application to Oral Roberts University and was thinking about majoring in engineering,” Randy said. “I thought I’d like lots of money and success, but now I’ve decided to study theology and the music ministry. I’ll be going to a Bible college next fall.” Until then, he is happy that he chose to join his parents. The trip has taken the three to Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Virginia. “We had planned on just the Southern states, but the Lord kept opening doors in the north,” Randy said. Randy spoke in a quiet, intense voice of his “personal relationship with God. I talk to Him and He talks back.” Randy said he has known for a long time that he was being called to the ministry. “I had the feeling inside that this was what I wanted to do, and then He opened the doors so I could do it,” he said. “I know my calling and where God wants me. When the Lord calls you to do something, you don’t ask why.” Although he said it is hard to leave new friends behind, the trip so far has been a positive experience. “We haven’t hurt for anything, and my parents and I have drawn Randy Brigman Honor students named By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock Newa contributing writer Wakefield School is pleased to announce that the following Rappahannock County students received first honors during the first grading period: Jennifer Anderson, Chris Angell, Van DeBergh, Winifred Duffy, Katherine Hinkell, Gabrielle Lee, Welby Lynn, Nancy Massie, Rachel Monahan, Carrie Naramore, Tom Rust, Hank Sohn, Peter Walsworth, Tara Welty, Josh Yowell, Luke Zindel and Katie Zindel.

Besides ministering on a stage, Randy said he does some youth counselling. “I feel for kids with problems, and I try to understand them but I’ve never had their kinds of prob- -v lems,” he said. “Some people may think I’ve led a sheltered life, but I’m grateful that I was raised away from those things. A lot of kids don t think I’m being my real self since I talk about what I believe and I don’t do the things they do.” Randy is outgoing and vocal about his beliefs, which has created a few problems. “When some people find out what I do, they immediately turn off to me,” he said. “That’s hard to face and get through.” Randy understands why some people are uncomfortable around him. “They think that if they were like me, they wouldn’t be able to do the things they enjoy,” Randy said. “I may not smoke, party all night, drink, dance or other things, but I'm happier than most because I know who and what I’m living for.” none in and seTtK ' C250ES Arc a ATC and Fou ® "eiv t9»6 Arcrto jf684.oo Fourr rax Models ssrS®!^* £S» l*£*£yBSs,CO —^s^ssst0, -f*5*#7978 ABSOLUTE* k Saturday, November 2,1985 10:00 A.M.

HINER CMH Director of Community Relations Lights of Love will shine brightly this holiday season as the Culpeper Memorial Hospital Auxiliary again sponsors this annual event. The project, adopted by many hospital auxiliaries throughout the state, gives meaning to lights on holiday trees at community hospitals. The red and white lights on the tree at CMH represent donations of $5 or more in honor or in memory of loved ones, while the lights in the star of the tree represent donations of $50 or more. The names of those honored with lights will be recorded in a memorial book that will be placed in the hospital lobby during the holiday season and cards will be sent to announce the gift. “This year, donations received from Lights of Love will be used to renovate the hospital obstetric department,” said Lights of Love coordinator Eula Henretty. Library drives for funds The Friends of the Rappahannock County Library are in the midst of their 10th annual fund drive. The circulation of books, materials and cassettes reached an all-time high last year, and attendance at library functions for both children and adults was said to be at capacity, Contributions of any size will be accepted and can be brought by the library in Washington or mailed to Mrs. Is sac L. Parrish, treasurer of “The Friends,” Washington, 22747. Checks should be made out to The Friends of the Rappahannock County Library. “The Auxiliary is pleased to have an opportunity to create a beautiful new area where mothers and their babies can enjoy their stay at CMH.” Following two successful campaigns in 1983 and 1984, the Culpeper Memorial Auxiliary expects even more participation in this year’s Lights of Love. “In 1983, we contributed $>5,100 toward renovations in the hospital emergency and outpatient areas. And last year, we contributed $6,800 for the purchase of emergency communication equipment for homebound individuals,” said CMH Auxiliary President Edith Witherspoon. “This year we hope even more people will know about the Lights of Love and will make gifts in memory of loved ones and friends.” As well as raising gifts for an important cause, Lights of Love is also an event where the community comes together to begin the holiday season. The tree lighting ceremony is a spectacular sight as 1,000 lights illuminate a white pine tree growing on the hospital grounds. The public is cordially invited to attend this year’s lighting ceremony on Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. The program will include short messages from local dignitaries, hospital representatives, board members and auxiliary members. Festive music and refreshments complete the evening. All donations to Lights of Love are tax-deductible and may be mailed to the CMH Auxiliary, 1216 Oaklawn Drive, Culpeper 22701. For more information on Lights of Love, please call Eula Henretty, 825-8840, Harriet Martin, 825-9598, or call the hospital community relations department, 825-2811, ext. 319.

Visitor’s view of artists’ exhibits By DIANE LAMACCHIA Contributinf Writer The ride to small town Sperryville rolls west out Route 211 through gently rounded grassy hillocks and the burnished maple trees that guard the road to Die Blue Ridge Mountains. Several hundred people took the two-hour drive from Washington, D.C. on Oct. 19 in unseasonably warm weather and crossed the She nandoah River to visit Sperryville’s first “Apple Harvest Festival.” “Artists of the Blue Ridge,’ -ae hub of the festival, featured 45 artMs from the eight-county piedmont arev andwas sponsored by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) and Faith Mountain Country Fare. The artists, according to art show coordinator and “neo-colorist” Doug Ball, were a mix of locals and artists who had moved to the region to create in the countryside. “We called it ‘Artists of the Blue Ridge’ because there are a lot of artists tucked away in these hills,” Ball said. The sponsors hope to hold the exhibit “every year in some form or another,” he added. A sampling of acrylics, oils, watercolors, photographs, stained glass panels, pottery and soapstone sculptures hung on partitions or stood on wooden tables under sunny autumn skies. Smiling, blue-jeaned visitors lounged on the grass behind the country store, surrounded by weeping willows, vivid red maples and a white, split rail fence, and watched the New York Street Theatre Caravan sing labor union songs and enact Southern civil rights scenes and a tribute to South African Stephen Biko. Billowing overhead was a colorful canopy reminiscent of peacock feathers in purples, greens and pinks, designed, Ball said, by local architect Sam Clifton, who also designs solar homes. Some of the artists complained tfait their work was not selling. One ’iSlftor, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Walter Echwald from Falls Church, said he had net seen anything he Idled enough tobuy. " , But 13-year-old Thomas Spande, a-part-time local, was doing a brisk business. Most of Spande’s small to medium-sized landscapes, neatly painted in acrylic, were of Sperryville and Washington stores and houses done from photos he had taken in bright sunlight. Spande and his 12-year-old sister, Helen, who sat in front of his paintings trying to concentrate on her book, come regularly with their parents from Bethesda, Md. to weekend in “Jenny Hollow” near Sperryville. Spande proudly said he had “sold six so far,” priced from $45 to $95, but would not part with a still life of srepen book, a red apple, a pair of dice, a spool of thread and an inlaid wooden box. “I like it a lot,” he said firmly. “It’s not for sale.” Airmail Jones completes course Airman Howard B. Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rogers G. Jones of Rt. 2 Sperryville, has graduated from the U.S. Air Force aircraft maintenance course at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. During the course, students were taught aircraft maintenance fundamentals to repair and service one- and two-engine jet aircraft. Maintenance management and documentation was also taught to assess aircraft readiness capability. Graduates of the course earned credits toward an associate degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Jones is scheduled to serve with the 401st Aircraft Generation Squadron in Spain. He is a 19&1 graduate of Madison County High School. High school searches for grads Rappahannock County High school officials are attempting to contact, or “get re-acquainted with” its recent graduates. The school will be sending survey forms to graduates within the last 10 years — from the Class of 1975 to the Class of ’85 — who have verifiable addresses. The school urges graduates prior to 1975 to contact the school to provide updated addresses. A survey form appears in this edition of the Rappahannock News. The postcard survey distributed by the school will serve two purposes, according to Principal Robert Chappell. One is to update mailing lists. The second purpose is to determine whether a sort of homecoming can be organized. R.C.H.S.

Elections Continued from page 1 County in the lieutenant governor’s campaign. The same holds true for Democratic Del. Mary Sue Terry of Stuart, the first woman to run for attorney general, in her race against Republican Del. W.R. “Buster” O’Brien of Virginia Beach. The campaign pits the new Democrats of Dixie, personified by Gov. Charles S. Robb, against the new strength of the Southern Republicans, including some who moved to the GOP in the 1970s, leaving a Democratic Party once controlled by former U.S. Sen. Harry F. Byrd Sr. His son, Harry F. Byrd Jr. of Winchester, an independent and also Andy Guest Election poll a former senator, has endorsed Mr. Durrette. In a state where six of the 10 U.S. representatives and both senators are Republicans, Democrats are trying to portray themselves in the image of Mr. Robb, who made Democrats respectably moderate for Virginia and is trying to do the same nationally. When questioned about his support of Walter Mondale in a debate last week, Mr. Baliles said nothing about the 1984 Democratic presidential candidate. He gave a speech about party loyalty and the need for Virginia Democrats “to set an example for the nation.” Mr. Robb, who cannot succeed himself, broke a 12-year GOP hold on the governor’s mansion when he led Guest Continued from page 2 the proposed legislation would put the state in charge of allocating water resources to business, agriculture and municipalities. Many fear the proposed laws would legalize the interbasin transfer of water. “I’m against the interbasin transfer of water,” said Mr. Guest. “I think those areas that have it should keep it.” The proposed legislation also would eliminate the exemption farmers enjoy from limits placed on the amount of groundwater which can be withdrawn from the aquifer, Mr. Guest said. Continued from page 2 geographic regions and in eight of 10 congressional districts in the October poll. “While Baliles appears to be in the most comfortable position, the other Democrats still only hold a narrow lead over their Republican opponents,” Mason-Dixon poll analysts said. “So, while Baliles seems to be the clear favorite in the governor’s race, his coattails may not be long enough for Wilder and Terry.” Wilder gains Mr. Wilder, the first major-party black candidate for statewide office, has made tremendous progress since his nomination for lieutenant governor in May, according to the MasonDixon polls. The most recent poll gave him a slight lead for the first time. Mr. Chichester led, 42-29 in June, 42-31 in July and 37-32 in September, according to the polls. Although respondents picked Mr. Wilder 41-40 statewide, the most recent poll gave Mr. Chichester the lead: • 49 percent to 33 percent in the Central Piedmont region (including Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper and Stafford counties). • 43 to 37 in Northern Virginia (including Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties). • 45 to 35 in the Shenandoah region (including Clarke, Warren and Frederick counties). • In six of nine geographic regions and in five of 10 congressional districts, with the candidates tied in another. The poll gave Mr. Chichester the edge among men (42-36) and whites (48-31), while Mr. Wilder was preferred among women (45-39) and blacks (85-6). But, with 19 percent of the respondents undecided and only a percentage point separating the candidates, “the race for lieutenant governor is a dead heat,” MasonDixon analysts said. BZA Continued from page 1 “They’ve (Hitt and Grave) admitted that they won’t be able to meet the time limit in this application,” Kramer said. “And a wrecker with a car on the back would not be something I’d want to meet on that road.” The board could not make any of the four findings necessary before a special use permit can be granted, so the permit was denied. The board did approve a special use permit application submitted by Elaine Viguerie. The permit will allow Viguerie to use a farm and farm house on Route 615 in Castleton for a cooking school and boarding house. Viguerie said not more than 10 people time will be. accommodated at the school and the participants will be transported to the farm for a week’s stay to study the preparation of whole grain natural foods. The permit was granted with the condition that Viguerie present a health department letter certifying that the farm’s septic system will handle the proposed use. The political climate for Mr. Wilder and Miss Terry seems to be improving, according to the poll. When asked if “the presence of both a black candidate and a female candidate will be a positive factor, a j negative factor or no real factor in the Democrats’ efforts” to win the , elections: • 26 percent replied “positive,” compared to 18 percent in March. • 39 percent replied “negative,” compared to 55 percent in March. • 29 percent replied “no factor,” compared to 24 percent in March. • 6 percent were undecided, compared to 4 percent in March. Terry, O’Brien close As in the lieutenant governor’s race, poll respondents were fairly evenly divided on the contest for attorney general. They preferred Miss Terry to Mr. O’Brien, 42 percent to 39 percent. But a significant 19 percent were undecided. The latest results are consistent with polls in June, July and September which rated the contest virtually even. The October poll gave Mr. O’Brien, like his GOP running mates, the lead: • 41 percent to 38 percent in the Central Piedmont region (including Fauquier, Rappahannock, Culpeper and Stafford counties). • 48 to 37 in the Shenandoah region (including Clarke, Warren and Frederick counties). But, unlike other Democrats, Miss Terry has a 41-36 edge in Northern Virginia (including Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties), according to the most recent poll. Of nine geographic regions, Miss Terry leads in four, Mr. O’Brien in three, and they’re tied in two, according to the poll. Respondents in seven of 10 congressional districts favored Miss Terry and the candidates tied in another. Miss Terry was more popular among women (50-32) and blacks (62-21), while Mr. O’Brien was the choice among men (46-33) and whites (43-37). a Democratic sweep in 1981. Before that, the Democrats had won only two races for attorney general and two for lieutenant governor, one with Mr. Robb, since 1966. Since 1981, Democrats have lost one presidential and two Senate races in Virginia. “Virginia has been the Republicans’ bulkhead state in the South. They want very much to get it back,” said Larry Sabato, a government professor at the University of Virginia. “The Democrats winning at the state level will say something about Robb’s moderate push, if anybody is looking. It certainly would reflect badly on Robb if they lost. He is a leader of the new moderate Democrats.” As one of only two states with gubernatorial races this year —- and there is little competition in New Jersey — some consider Virginia a testing ground for the national parties. The Republicans contend their opponents are not as conservative as they claim and therefore out of step with Virginia. The Democrats have promoted a philosophy of fiscal conservatism coupled with a more moderate stance on social issues. Still, there are few issues on which Mr. Durrette and Mr. Baliles disagree. > And in recent weeks, Mr. Durrette has tried to fire up a lackluster campaign with attempts to brand Mr. Baliles as a tax-raiser. £ NUGGETS OF TRUTH 0 By SALLY DUNPHY Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 0 9 BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT 9 9 This is what the apostle Paul tells us in £ 9 Galations 5:13 thru 25.

Republicans have attacked Mr. Wilder as a liberal, and say his legislative record is evidence. Soon after his nomination in May, Mr. Durrette called Mr. Wilder “the most liberal candidate ever to run for statewide office in Virginia.” Mr. Wilder responded with a list of bills both he and Durrette supported. He touts his endorsement by the state Fraternal Order of Police and his secure place in the Senate establishment. Turnout is expected to be relatively light Nov. 5, and a large percentage of black voters could hurt Republicans, though Mr. Wilder has said he does not want voters to choose him or reject him because he is black. Virginia voters do not register by party, but 15 percent of those registered are black. According to Mr. Sabato, the Democrats have not won a majority of the white vote in a race for governor, president or U.S. Senate since 1966. Republican Del.

Comments on the new alternative will be accepted through Jan. 30, 1986. The previously published alternatives created considerable public interest. Many respondents were critical of the earlier proposal because they thought too much emphasis was being placed on timber management at the expense of other Forest uses or resources. According to Forest Supervisor George Smith, the primary objectives of the new alternative are to manage a portion of the Forest using timber harvest methods other than clearcutting and to reduce the acre HALO WEEN SPECHULS MT.

Fm advocating more efficient use of government resources” — BALILES "The question is whether or not you need to expand the size of government today in order to do the job that ought to be done, and thafs where the two of us differ." — DURRETTE WYATTB.

GERALD L BAULES DEMOCRAT FOR GOVERNOR By SEAN ADAMS ARUNDEL NEWSPAPERS STAFF WRITER When you ask him why he should be elected governor of Virginia, Gerald L. “Jerry” Baliles says the office requires someone with “experience and effectiveness.” “I think I bring those qualities to this campaign and to the office,” he said, citing 18 years of experience — as a trial lawyer, a state legislator and most recently as state attorney general. “That kind of experience in government cannot be matched by my opponent, and in this competitive economic era ... it seems to me that experience is an important factor.” Baliles, a 45-year-old lawyer from Patrick County who now lives in Richmond, is a ucmutidi who wresueu ms party’s gubernatorial nomination from the early favorite, Lt. Gov. Richard J. Davis. In touting his effectiveness, Baliles likes to cite polls showing him ranked high in that quality among legislators while he was in the House of Delegates, and as attorney general from 1982 until July of this year, when he resigned to run for governor. His opponent in the race, Republican Wyatt B. Durrette, criticizes Baliles as being little more than a government lawyer, with most of Baliles’ experience coming in government. Durrette says his own experience is more varied. Durrette also has criticized Baliles for proposing new programs and for wanting government to do too much. In particular, Durrette has opposed Baliles’ call for a new cabinet-level secretary for economic development. Baliles says he believes government has important roles in some areas, such as education, transportation and public safety. “The question is: If government is involved in education, how do we make it better, more effective?” Baliles adds, “If there are areas where government has no business being, then let’s move government out of it.” On the economic development proposal, Baliles says, “Economic prosperity does not merely happen. You can’t approach it and be successful by having some loose confederation of interests. You’ve got to have the focus and management attention... at the top. “I’m not advocating more government. I’m advocating more efficient use of government resources.’’ Baliles, known for his sense of humor and low-key style, has closely aligned himself with Gov. Charles S. Robb and the moderate to conservative wing of the Democratic Party. Newspaper polls, as well as his own internal surveys, show him leading, he said. Robb’s allegiance is thought to be an important factor. , Baliles, however, says he is “skeptical” of polls, because they’ve always shown him trailing in previous races he has won. He defeated Durrette by only 26,000 votes statewide in the 1981 attorney general race — largely , according to Durrette, with the help of Robb’s coattails. Durrette believes the outcome will be different in 1985, with the GOP coming off overwhelming victories last year in the presidential and U.S. Senate races. Despite last year’s outcome, Baliles believes the Democratic ticket — which features a black and a woman — is more qualified than the GOP ticket, which Baliles has called “bland” and lacking in experience. Although the campaign was slow to heat up, there were signs in early October that it would get hot. Baliles said Durrette wasn’t qualified to lead the state, and later said that if Durrette kept distorting his record, Durrette “would become known as the Pinnocchio of politics in Virginia.” Baliles has been fond of referring to what he calls the “old Wyatt and the new Wyatt,” saying Durrette has flip-flopped on capital punishment, tax increases and the Equal Rights.Amendment, among others. Durrette has said that isn’t true, and has called Baliles “clever” at distorting the record. Durrette also called a press conference to denounce Baliles as a “mischievous child” and saying Baliles had personally attacked him by GERALD LBAULES MARK REGAN saying he wasn’t qualified to lead. “Why he called me a mischievous child, I’m baffled,” Baliles said. “I may still be a child at heart, but I’m not mischievous.” The issues that have gained the most attention in the race have been transportation and education. Neither Baliles nor Durrette has committed to a specific plan for raising new revenue for roads, although, not surprisingly, both say they are committed to doing something about the problem. Both have been evasive in interviews, declining to state specific proposals, such as bond issues or gasoline tax increases, instead vowing to work behind the scenes with the state legislature during the 1986 session. When asked if it is too politically risky to take a stand on the issue now, Baliles said, “I wouldn’t say it’s too politically risky, but 1 would say it’s a sensitive issue.” Baliles has seized the education issue in attacking Durrette. Baliles says he himself supports full-funding of the state Standards of Quality for education. The state has never fully paid its share, and Baliles says he supports Robb’s proposal to fully fund them during the next budget biennium. That could cost an additional $500 million, according to some estimates, and would include raising teachers’ salaries to the national average. Baliles has also charged that Durrette doesn’t support full funding, and that Durrette has called education “just another line item in the budget.” On specific issues, Baliles: ■ Opposes legislation to require women under 18 to get parental consent before they can have an abortion. ■ Supports continuing the moratorium on uranium mining in Virginia. ■ Opposes merit pay for teachers, saying teachers’ salaries in general need to be raised first. ■ Is “willing to consider!!* supporting elected school boards by local option, but only if the question of whether elected school officials would have taxing authority is resolved. ■ Supports legislation to transfer Washington National and Washington Dulles Intematinal airports from federal control an authority run by officials from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. ■ Opposes a state lottery. ■ Supports a new cabinetlevel post for economic development, saying it is necessary for Virginia to be able to compete for such development.

WYATT B._ DURRETTE REPUBUCAN FOR GOVERNOR By SEAN ADAMS ARUNDEL NEWSPAPERS STAFF WRITER Traveling around the state in his campaign for governor, Republican Wyatt B. Durrette says he notices the different interests of areas as diverse as Northern Virginia, southwest Virginia and Tidewater. He believes his “diversity of experience” makes him the best candidate to lead the state, bringing those varying interests together. “I’ve got a lot of ties in all regions of the state, which I think gives me an understanding . . . and an ability to communicate effectively about the Various diversities of Virginia and, I believe, bring them together,” Durrette, a 47-year-old attorney who lives in the Richmond suburbs, was bom in Richmond, grew up in Southampton County, went to school in Lexington, married a girl from Roanoke and lived in Fairfax County while a member of the House of Delegates. Durrette also cites his background as a businessman, legislator, parttime teacher, private attorney and his military experience as a more well-rounded background than that of his opponent, Democrat Gerald L. Baliles. Durrette won the GOP nomination this year by thwarting a challenge from Republican Rep. Stan Parris (R-8th). Durrette, a leading spokesman for President Reagan in the president’s previous campaigns, is trying to lead the GOP back to control of the three top state -Offices, which the Democrats captured in 1981. Durrette has tried to portray himself as the more conservative candidate in a state that went heavily for Reagan and Republican Sen. John W. Warner last year, as well as for Republican Sen. Paul S. Trible in the 1982 Senate contest. In taking that approach, Durrette has tried to characterize his own view of government as being more conservative than Babies’ view. “The question is whether or not you need to expand the size of government today in order to do the job that ought to be done, and that’s where the two of us differ,” Durrette said. Baliles has proposed a new cabinel-level post for economic development and other offices, Durrette said, “and I don’t think any of those things are necessary.” Durrette, who narrowly lost the attorney general race to Baliles four years ago, said in a recent interview he is confident of his chances, despite newspaper polls showing him trailing Baliles. The 1981 election, in which the Democrats swept the three top state offices, was “an aberration,” according to Durrette, who said Republicans were blamed for the poor economy, but weren’t responsioie ior u. Not only was Gov. Charles Robb extremely popular as the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, but the the Republican ticket was hurt by conflict-of-interest charges against former state Sen. Nathan H. Miller, the GOP candidate for lieutenant governor in 1981. Without those charges, Durrette said, “I think he might have won and I would have won.” Durrette added, “I am stronger in the polls now than any of my predecessors have been ... So I think all of this means I have an excellent chance of winning.” One issue that the two have differed over has been education and how to pay for it. Durrette says it isn’t enough to spend money, vas Baliles has suggested, but how the money is spent. Hallies says he supports full funding of the state Standards of Quality for education, which could cost $500 million by some estimates. Baliles also claims Durrette doesn’t support that initiative, but Durrette says that isn’t true. “It’s just because I won’t say the magic words — ‘fully fund the standards of quality’ — that I’ve given them somewhat of an issue I shouldn’t have given them. But I’ll take my lumps on that.” Durrette says he can’t commit to spending millions of dollars that might not be available. “I’m just not going to make that kind of blanket commitment,” he said, “without knowing the full WYATT B. DURRETTE MARK REGAN extent of the price tag.” Durrette says the educational system in Virginia is generally better than average, but that better teachers need to be attracted. One way to do that is through a merit pay system, something Baliles opposes. More and more teachers are supporting the idea, he says, particularly good ones who left the profession because they were doing a better job but weren’t getting paid any more than mediocre teachers. “It’s not how much we pay, but how we pay it,” he said. “1 think if we’re going to get the best and the brightest we’ve got to let them excel, because they’re . . . motivated to excel and they want to be rewarded financially for that success.” Like his opponent, Durrette has hedged on the transportation issue. While saying more money is needed for roads, he won’t say what method he would support to raise the money. “The only thing a candidate can do or that a governor can do at this time is to say we have to have more money for roads, and I am committed to doing that,” Durrette said. He said he’d rather develop a “consensus” with legislators after the election. “In a campaign, as soon as you put out one idea, you’re going to have somebody shooting at it.” Acknowledging that “it is politically risky” to support a specific method in the campaign, Durrette added that “more important than that it probably prejudices debate” on the issue, and could jeopardize efforts to reach a consensus. “A govtrnor has to be in a position to bring it all together,” he said. On specific issues, Durrette: ■ Supports a bill requiring women under 18 to get parental consent for abortions, noting that “you have to have parental consent to have an ear pierced, or a tooth extracted, or a stitch in a cut. And yet that same 14 or IS or 16-year-old child could agree to an abortion on her own.” ■ Would support uranium mining in Virginia. ■ Supports merit pay for teachers. ■ Supports giving localities the option of having elected school boards. ■ Supports the transfer of Washington National and Dulles International airports from federal control to a regional authority. ■ Opposes a state lottery. ■ Opposes a cabinet-level secretary for economic develoment.

JOHN H. CHICHESTER REPUBLICAN FOR LT. GOVERNOR By DONALD DEL ROSSO ARUNDEL newspapers staff writer Few candidates for lieutenant governor have run a more tenacious campaign for the office {han Republican state Sen. John Chichester. His Democratic rival, state Sen. L. Douglas Wilder of Richmond, has called the Stafford County senator’s style “mudslinging.” “I’m not mudslinging,” Chichester said in an interview following the first and only lieutenant gubernatorial debate last month. “I’m talking about his record. ” Early polls indicated Chichester was the heavy favorite to take the race. But polls indicate the candidates have been running neck and neck since September. Since Labor Day, Chichester, a 48-year-old insurance salesman, has repeateaiy cnargea tnat Wilder’s legisaltive record shows he has “the criminal’s interest at heart’’ and is the “softest man in the Virginia Senate on drunk driving and capital punishment.” Republican gubernatorial candidate Wyatt B. Durrette called Wilder the most “liberal” politician in Virginia, a state where conservatism is a virtue. In an unannounced September campaign swing through Warrenton, Wilder, a 54-year-old lawyer, rejected such criticisms, saying his reputation as a law and order candidate are butressed by the state Fraternal Order of Police’s endorsement of his campaign. Wilder, the first black representing a major party to run for statewide office since Reconstruction, says he’s hardly a liberal on most issues because the label connotates “extremist,” which is contrary to his reputation as a “mainstream” politician. “I have the reputation of being a consensus and coalition builder” in the Senate, noting such a role would be impossible for a liberal who would be on the fringes of mainstream thinking. “That’s one of my hallmarks,” he added. “I’m a member of the club, the inner circle.” Chichester’s criticisms serve as a vehicle to promote his conservative views of tougher criminal laws, especially as they apply to repeat offenders, stronger capital punishment laws and limited government involvement in the lives of its citizens. He also has stressed the need to improve transportation system and the highway and public education system. Unlike his opponent, he supports merit pay for school teachers and administrators. As lieutenant governor, Sen. Chichester says more than anything he would stress “jobs for Virginians,” his much-heralded campaign slogan. To keep and create jobs for state residents, the senator says he would serve as the governor’s “ambassador” to big business and promote Virginia’s low property and corporate taxes and its location. Chichester — like his runningmates Durrette and attorney general candidate W.R. “Buster” O’Brien — also opposes collective bargaining for public employees. Chichester insists his opponent supports collective bargaining; Wilder vehemently denies the charge. Chichester, who has served seven years in the Senate, was until the early 1970s a lifelong Democrat. The change in party affiliation occurred gradually, a change that was precipitated by his unsuccessful bid to to defeat House of Delegates member George C. Rawlings Jr. in 1969. More than anything else at the time, that narrow and frustrating loss to Rawlings nudged Chichester toward the Republican Party. Had he won, Chichester might still be a Democrat. But he lost. And the party’s liberal faction at the state and national level began to assert itself. In the late and early 1970s, Rawlings and other liberals took control of the General Assembly and in 1972, George McGovern was the Democratic presidential candidate. Given the circumstances, Chichester quietly switched parties. In explaining the move, he said: “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the party left me” because of its liberal tendencies. “The JOHN H. CHICHESTER Republican Party represented the values I believe in.” A tall, slender man who early in the campaign was criticized by party members for his low-key style, Chichester has in recent months demonstrated unbridled energy on the campaign trail. Typically, the Stafford County senator will dash to the nearest passerby, extend a hand, introduce himself and inquire about the person’s interests or concerns. If he can establish “rapport,” he’ll sometimes put an arm around the person and whisper questions and answers as if taking the stranger into his confidence. There is always the ready smile, the quick laugh and the plea for support. The routine is played out countless times and seemingly with the same level of energy and depth of interest for everybody he meets. Chichester said he doesn’t pass up the chance to talk to every potential voter in the state. “See that guy across the street,” he said on recent stop in Culpeper. “He sees me shaking hands with somebody and if I don’t go over there and say something to him, what’s he going to think? That’s a vote I could have.” The senator jogged across the street, extends a hand and introduces himself to the startled voter with the hope he’ll remember the name John H. Chichester on Nov. 5.

L. DOUGLAS WILDER DEMOCRAT FOR LT. GOVERNOR By DONALD DEL ROSSO ARUNDEL NEWSPAPERS STAFF WRITER For one who’s running a positive campaign for lieutenant governor, Democratic candidate L. Douglas Wilder has been on the defensive ever since winning his party’s nomination in June. Initailly, the “naysayers” within his own party questioned whether the outspoken Richmond lawyer would be a liability to the Democratic headed by gubernatorial candidate and former attorney general Gerald L. Baliles. Some news reports during the primary season suggested Wilder, the first black candidate nominated by a major party to run for statewide office since Reconstruction, was not the first choice of Gov. Charles S. Robb. The governor later would, however, throw his support behind the 54-year-old senator. But as intra-party doubts subsided, Wilder encountered hostile attacks on his voting record by his Republican opponent, state Sen. John Chichester of Stafford County. Chichester accuses him of having the “criminal’s interests at heart,” being “the softest man in the Virginia Senate on drunk driving and capital punishment” and of supporting collective bargaining for public employees. Wilder, 54, dismisses the charges of being soft on criminals, noting the state Fraternal Order of Police has ^endorsed his candididacy. He also says he’s always opposed the concept of collective bargaining for public employees despite his opponent’s claims to the contrary. The candidates seem to agree on most issues with the exception of merit pay for teachers. Sen. Wilder, like his runningmates gubernatorial candidate Baliles and attorney general candidate Mary Sue Terry, opposes the idea because he believes it would be unfairly administered. Wilder said the difficulty with merit pay is that the system could be reduced to a personality contest, with raises being awarded irrespective of ability. Apart from the disagreement on merit pay, both candidates favor expanding Virginia’s job market, improving and expanding the highway system, upgrading the school system and toughening the criminal justice system. Wilder believes he’s more qualified for the job of lieutenant governor because of his 16 years in the Senate. His opponent, he is quick to note, has only seven years in the legislature and has not contributed a single piece of major legislation since he has been in Richmond. Based on that experience, Wilder says he believes he’s better qualified to be president of the Senate, to shepherd the governor’s legislative package through both chambers and to cast the deciding vote in case of a tie. The lieutenant governor, as president of the Senate, must have an expert understanding of how the Senate operates, according to the Democratic candidate. His experience has given him that understanding, Wilder said. By contrast, he notes his opponent has seven years in the Senate. Apart from the obvious issues, the question of race has cropped several times during the campaign. Sen. Chichester has steadfastly avoidetTthe suojeci, Dili 10 me embarassment of GOP leaders, former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr. and former U.S. Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. have made several remarks that might have been interpreted as racially offensive. Several weeks ago, Godwin criticized Wilder for proposing in 1970 that the state song, Carry Me Back to Old Virginia, be dropped because of its references to “massa” and “darky.” GOP leaders are reportedly concerned that Godwin and elements of the old Byrd Machine are perceived to be excercising undue influence over the Republican ticket. Ever since Wilder won the Democratic Party nomination for lieutenant governor in June, Republicans have sought to undermine his bid for the number two office and at the same time avoid charges of racism. But they seemed to have L DOUGLAS WILDER been frustrated in those efforts at every turn. “I think if any of us breathed and Sen. Wilder’s name was in the breath, you in the press would interpret it as racist,” GOP gubernatorial candidate Durrette recently told The Washington Post. Durrette had been stung earlier in the year as a resuilt of labeling Wilder as “one of the most liberal” candidates to run for lieutenant governor. The Richmond senator suggested the remark might be viewed as “racist.” Durrette has since shied away from directly criticizing Wilder. Wilder almost seemed surprised by the amount of attention the race issue has received in the campaign and contends more than anyone else, “the press has great trouble with it, but the people don’t.”

W. R. ‘BUSTER’ O'BRIEN REPUBLICAN FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL By WILLEM SCHELTEMA ARUNDEL NEWSPAPERS STAFF WRITER In his campaign for attorney general, Republican candidate William Ryland “Buster” O’Brien has staked out a strong law and order position and has promised that if elected, he will spend more time in court than his predecessors. O’Brien, 39, faces Democratic candidate Mary Sue Terry, the first woman to run for attorney general in Virginia in the Nov. 5 statewide elections. Terry leads in most polls, though her margin is slim, but O’Brien isn’t too concerned. He lost his first political campaign, a bid for state deleagte in 1977, but two years later won in a six-way race and was re-elected in 1981, 1982 and 1983. “This race will be won the last two to three weeks,” said a confident O’Brien. “We have to get to be competitive with my opponent in the last two weeks.” The Republican candidate is a partner in the Virginia Beach law firm of Hudgins, Ege, Johnson and O’Brien,doing mostly criminal trial work. If elected attorney general, O’Brien said he would spend time in court trying major cases, but not at the expense of administering the state’s to law enforcement office. “The attorney general is the administrator of the most important law firm in Virginia,” he explained. “1 won’t gut the office, but t' jre will be some changes ,.fu 1 spend some time there, though nothing immediate.” He said his planned trial work will not be just for the notoriety and the media attention. His appearances could work against him, O’Brien said. While the defense attorneys will know the state considers the case very important of O’Brien himself is trying it, it could backfire. “When you are in court, nothing is sure,” he said. “You take a big risk when you do that. If you lose, the attorney general lost the case.” Since trial work is his forte, O’Brien wants to keep his hand in, and said, “If you try to be something you aren’t, it just doesn’t work. ” O’Brien wants harsher punshment for criminals, especially those convicted of drug trafficking drugs. He wants the legislature to approve mandatory life sentences, with the first chance of parole after a minimum of 25 years served, for people convicted in major drug dealing cases. “A drug deal is a planned transaction,” O’Brien said. “If we can make the risks higher than the potential profit, maybe we can stop some of it. “I look at my kids, and I realize that is the hardest thing they — and me and wife as parents — are going to have to face.” “We need more public awareness about the problem, like we now have with DWI. You can pass all the laws you want, but until you change the public’s attitude, it doesn’t mean much.” And he would like to put drug dealers in prisons that in tjie future may be run by private compnaies rather than the state. Citing the example of a prison operated by a private contractor in Tennessee, ntractor, O’Brien claimed Virginia’s prison costs could be cut up to 25 percent if the system were contracted out. And in the current corrections system, under fire for the last two years for various problems, O’Brien would like to see some reforms. ii you can reiorm people, that should be your first objective,” he said, adding that <v,ose who don’t accept . eform need stern discipline. “The basic principle is that we need more direction in our corrections policy. “We need consistency in administration. We don’t have that now.” Inmates need to know exactly what is expected of them every day, and a consistency from the top would help. Otherwise, according to O’Brien, inmates will try to get away with anything they can. O’Brien graduated from the University of Richmond in 1968, where he quarterbacked the football team, setting passing records and landing a spot in the Tangerine Bowl Hall of Fame. While there, he helped establish the Big Brother program and was W.R. “BUSTER” O’BRIEN president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He postponed law school to take a shot at professional football, and spent a year on the taxi squad of the San Francisco 49ers. In 1971, he left football and enetered the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at the College of William and Mary, and while there got his first taste of politics as chairman of Young Virginians for Godwin. He got his law degree in 1974, and in 1977 made his first run at the House of Delegates. He lost in 1977 in a five-way contest, but came back in 1979 to win a six-way race, and was re-elected through 1983. As a state delegate, O’Brien has served on the Finance, Conservation and Natural Resources, and Chesepake and it’s Tributaries, and Militia and Police committees. O’Brien is married to Karen Oetjen O’Brien, and has three children, William, Patrick and Erin.

(MARY SUE TERRY | DEMOCRAT FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL By THOMAS GOSLING ARUNDEL NEWSPAPERS STAFF WRITER If Mary Sue Terry is elected attorney general, she would be the first woman to hold statewide office in Virginia. But talk of history-making isn’t the keystone of the Democrat’s campaign. Terry, 37, a small-town lawyer and banker, stresses three reasons why people should vote for her: ■ She has more experience than her opponent, Republican W.R. “Buster” O’Brien, by virtue of her five years as an assistant commonwealth’s attorney. ■ She has garnered the support of lawyers and policemen, the people who know what her office is all about. ■ She has proven her effectiveness as a delegate in the Virginia General Assembly, introducing and getting passed many more bills than O’Brien. She argues that people who know law and law enforcement support her, citing the endorsements of the Fraternal Order of Police and past presidents of the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association and the Virginia Bar Association. “If you were to elect a surgeon general,” she says, “you’d probably be interested in the assessment of the doctors as to the respective qualifications of candidates seeking that post.” Terry says the ramifications of a complicated issue should be thought out and a consensus reached ajnong state delegates and senators before legislation is introduced. To some, that may appear to be a way of avoiding tough positions on controversial issues. To Terry, regarded by many colleagues and observers as an adroit politician, it is the tactic that has worked for her in the past and the way bills are passed in slow-moving Richmond. Terry has represented rural, conservative Patrick County since 1978 and serves on the House Courts of Justice Committee. She has remained popular in her district despite moderate stands on social issues such as the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion (pro-choice, except for minors). In 1982 and 1983 she ran unopposed. Most political observers have labeled her moderate-toconservative in the tradition of Gov. Charles S. Robb. Her campaign is well-financed, raising twice as much as O’Brien’s, according to the most recent financial disclosures. Perhaps more importantly, she has the support of such Virginia political leaders as House Speaker A.L. Philpott and state Sen. Elmon T. Gray (D-Suffolk). She considers her biggest legislative accomplishment to be in the area of drunk driving laws. In 1984, one of her bills brought an automatic DU I charge for a drunk driver with a blood alcohol level of 1.5 or higher. A law sponsored by her this year raised the minimum drinking age to 21. But she did not jump on the drunk driving bandwagon when it became a focus of national attention, she says. “I was involved with drunk driving at a time (1979) before drunk driving was a highly sue.” During the next legislative session she hopes to pass bills to lower the mandatory conviction, blood-alcohol level to . 10, use statewide sobriety checkpoints to catch drunk drivers, lengthen the sentence to up to 20 years for a drunk driver who kills another person through his reckless driving, and establish a presumption in civil cases that a drunk driver is liable for punitive damages. Terry does not take a stand on the issue of background criminal checks for public school employees. “I think the issue has too many ramifications and is far too sensitive for any person to take a flat-out position that categorically says that record checks should be made on hiring new school employees,” she says. “I think there are going to be civil libertarian arguments and your balance of the right of privacy of certain individuals against the right of the school to ensure so far as possible that people with known prospensities is not placed in the classroom.” Terry questions whether prisons should be turned over wholesale to private MARY SUE TERRY enterprise, as O’Brien has advocated. She says practical legal problems — sovereign immunity, parole recommendations and the deadly force doctrine, or “shoot to kill” — may prevent that. Terry addresses issues with caution and seriousness. She is not prone to emotional responses, catch-words or popular easy solutions to problems. Her manner is low key, direct and professional. When she speaks, she smiles occasionally, and then quickly becomes serious again. She is single and a graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law.

Virginia’s No Longer A One-Party State It used to be that the real race for a statewide office was winning the Democratic Party nomination. With that in hand, the Democratic candidate was soon to be senator, governor, lieutenant governor or attorney general. Balloting and vote-counting were mere formalities. But that’s how is used to And up until 20 years ago it was easy for handicappers to lose their shirts betting on Republican dark horses in state elections, a pattern that was markedly ignored in presidential races by Virginia’s overwhelmingly Democratic but conservative electorate. Democratic dominance in Virginia, however, is no longer the case, although the GOP is far from converting the Old Dominion into a one-party, Republican state. Still, the fact that the GOP can put its candidate into office and that a Democratic victory is no longer a foregone conclusion is considered something of a success. “Despite the Republican’s electoral record in recent years, Virginia is not a oneparty Republican state, subject to the kind of rigid control once exercised by the Democratic Byrd Machine in the days when the pool of voters was severely restricted,’’ said political analyst Larry Sabato, a University of Virginia professor. If one event signalled a shift of voters’ political attitudes—in fact, a shift of the electorate in general—it was the 1966 Democratic primary. That muggy day in July always will be remembered as a watershed , election in the annals of modern Virginia politics. Harry F. Byrd Jr., the namesake of one the South’s most successful political machines and a seemingly impregnable candidate, found himself in a dogfight for the party’s U.S. Senate nomination with state Sen. Armistead Boothe in 1966. Byrd’s slim margin of victory —just nine-tenths of a percentage point of the 430,000 votes counted—was unheard of during the fourdecade reign of the steamrolling Byrd Machine. Additionally, A. Willis Robertson, chairman of the Senate’s Banking and Finance Committee, and Congressman Howard W. Smith, chairman of the House Rules Committee —two of the machine's chief lieutenants—were defeated in close races by Republicans who garnered heavy support from the suburbs. Byrd, nonetheless, went on to handily win the race for senator in a special election that November. But the cracks in the Byrd Machine—that continually placed at least one Harry Byrd in statewide office since 1925—were exposed. I hat machine, which grew from roots formed during Virginia’s Reconstruction, was a marvel of political endurance under the tutelage of Harry Byrd Sr. But it was about to crumble. And with it sank the statewide dominance of the Democrats. Although Byrd politics held on for years after many of the solid southern political machines disappeared, Virginia was changing. Slowly, but surely, the face of politics was taking on a new look. The election of political leaders, which had been carefully controlled by the few, was now placed in the hands of the many. V.O. Key, in his book Southern Politics, published in 1949, suggested that Mississippi, when compared to Virginia, was a “hotbed of democracy.” That changed in the 1960s. The poll tax was eliminated, as was the literacy test. And the 1965 Voting Rights Act effectively created a new electorate. “Those changes eventually put hundreds of thousands of new voters on the rolls in Virginia, including significant numbers of blacks, had been virtually disenfranchised until mat time, aabato said. In his book, Harry Byrd and the Changing Face of Virginia Politics, Harvie Wilkinson III wrote that the entrenched conservative element of the Byrd regime “had systematically alienated certain social, economic and political forces throughout Virginia. The Tuck Labor Wars, the Massive Resistance program, the Young Turk Struggle and fiscal deprivations under pay-asyou-go had turned labor, blacks and many young and urban Virginians against the machine. These forces, when first alienated, were somewhat anemic, but by 1966 they had become dragon slayers and caused several of Byrd’s chief lieutenants abruptly to reach the end of a long political road.” In that 1966 primary, necessitated by the retirement of the elder Byrd two years into his seventh term, the returns reflected a close race. “Not since 1925,” Wilkinson wrote, “when Harry Byrd Sr. was (first) elected governor of Virginia had a candidate named Byrd run behind in a statewide race, even in the early returns.” It was nearly midnight before it was confirmed a Byrd again be the Democratic candidate for senator. But that slice of the electorate that before was of little concern, that would later change Virginia’s political power structure, was recruited heavily by the Republicans. “The Republican Party was quick to realize in the late ’60s that its chances of winning depended on getting more people to register and vote,” said state Sen. Wiley Mitchell, himself a Republican. Republicans discovered modern politicking. They used direct-mail pleas for money, a telephone campaign to encourage voter participation, and maintained computerized voter rolls and collected data by computer, methods that today have become essential to political survival. Six years later that the shift in political power would show results in the Senate. In 1972, the year Richard Nixon swept the race for president, William L. Scott defeated Democratic incumbent William B. Spong Jr. to become the first Virginia Republican in the U.S. Senate since the end of Reconstruction. In 1969, Linwood Holton, the spokesman for the muueiaie, mountain vaiiey wing of the Virginia GOP, became the first Republican governor of the 20th century. Experts point out that Holton got the vote of those groups the Republicans had tried so hard to rally: Blacks, labor and, curiously, far-right conservatives disaffected by the moderate platform of Democratic candidate William C. Battle. Four years later, Mills E. Godwin Jr., a Byrd Democrat who served as governor from 1965 to 69 after having been elected by a coalition of national Democrats, including blacks, laborers and some Byrd Democrats, switched parties and was elected governor as a Republican, defeating liberal-populist Henry Howell. John Dalton, in 1977, became the third in a string of Republican governors. Also contributing to the decline in fortunes of Virginia’s Democrats was a change in the makeup of the state’s population. From 1946 until 1965 every governor and U.S. senator in Virginia hailed from smalltown or rural backgrounds. The six governors through that period had an average of 23 years in lower elective and appointed positions, impressing upon them the importance of solidified party lines and maintaining conservative policies. Those in the Byrd organization knew they forever had jobs if they remained in formation. But the “good ol’ boy” tactics were to survive a limited lifespan. The population soon shifted to the metropolitan areas of the state. State Republican Chairman Donald Huffman says more than SO percent of the vote today is cast by those in the metropolitan areas, particularly in the “eastern urban corridor.” That contrasts markedly with the control exercised by rural and predominately southside Virginia interests during the Byrd era. Such a change, and the advent of television and a technically advanced media, has largely eliminated what Huffman calls the “courthouse clique” as a factor in state politics. “Those fellows at the courthouse are too busy looking after themselves to be worrying much about state and national elections,” Huffman said. Also, the parties at the national level changed positions: The Democrats became more liberal, a pendulum that swung to its highest point with the nomination of George McGovern for president in 1972; the Republicans more conservative, a philosophy Virginians share like a good recipe. Howell, who twice lost the gubernatorial race as a Democrat and a third time as an independent, once said that a liberal in Virginia is anyone who believes in life after birth. Former Gov. Godwin said: “The people of Virginia have consistently been to the right of the political center. They’ll change their political labels before they’ll change their views.” Godwin should know something about changing labels, having switched parties to successfully run as a Republican in 1973. Virginia Democrats, since that 1972 presidential election, have demonstrated a desire to move closer to the middle ground of the political spectrum. The Democrats’ evolution into a moderating party with appeal to the state’s increasing suburban electorate culminated in 1981 when the party, which had not won a statewide election for governor or U.S. senator since 1966, elected its entire ticket of Charles S. Robb as governor, Richard J. Davis as lieutenant governor and Gerald L. Baliles as attorney general. The candidates have changed dramatically. Virginians twice recently have elected so-called “celebrity candidates” in statewide elections. Neither had much political experience when they took office. John Warner, a former secretary of the Navy, without traditional Virginia political ties, campaigned for the U.S. Senate for only two months after the death of party nominee Richard Obenshain. He drew large audiences and big headlines on the trail due, at least in part, to the appearance of his wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor. Warner won in his first try at public office, . gaining 51 percent of that 1978 vote. Charles “Chuck” Robb won the governor’s seat in 1981. Robb, who served as lieutenant governor, married a daughter of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, thereby realizing a “celebrity” status. But Virginians appear to be more tolerant of change today than when the Byrd Machine kept a tight grasp on the state’s voters. Virginia gave 68 percent of its vote to Ronald Reagan for president last November, yet polls indicate that moderateconservative Baliles is the early leader in this year’s race for governor. Today, the candidate profile has changed even more. The Democratic ballot includes a black and a woman, a situation unimagined during the Byrd era. Even the Republicans are experiencing change; a black candidate sought the GOP nomination for lieutenant governor this spring. Yet political observers are noting another change, a ► See VOTE, Page 10

It’s Not Hard to Get Out and Vote By DOUG GARDNER ARUNDEL NEWSPAPERS STAFF WRITER Come Election Day, Nov. 5, an estimated 1.5 million people across Virginia will walk into their local voting precincts, cast their ballots and leave to await the results. The process of voting is simple. But the massive preparations needed for that one day’s activities keep hundreds of state and local employees busy year-round. Virginia’s Constitution guarantees qualified state residents the right to vote. But before a potential voter can exercise that right, he or she must perform some simple tasks and meet certain criteria. ■ The potential voter must be a resident of Virginia; there is no residency time limit in Virginia. ■ He or she must be at least 18 years of age by the day of the election and must “register” with the local registrar — the local election official. To register, a potential voter only needs to provide the registrar with basic information like his or her name, date of birth, address and Social Security number. To vote in an election, new voters must have registered at least 30 days before the election. People who have voted in the same “precinct,” or voting area, before need not register if they have voted at least once within the past four years. Those who do not vote in four years are purged from the voting list and must register again. A general election, involving the entire voting public, is held to fill any statewide elected public office. vOn the federal level, a president and vice-president are chosen every four years. Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are elected every two years and U.S. senators every six. In Virginia, the state’s voters choose a governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general every four years. Members of the Virginia House of Delegates and Virginia senators are chosen every two years. Locally, elections are held to choose members of the local governing body (such as a board of supervisors or town council), and all constitutional officers, such as sheriff, commissioner of revenue. treasurer, commonwealth’s attorney every four years. Local circuit court clerks serve eight-year terms. Federal, state and county candidates normally are chosen during a November election, which is held the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. Town officials normally are chosen during elections held the first Tuesday in May. Often, if a political party has more than one person interested in a certain office, the party will hold a “primary” election. Even though the Democrats may be having a primary, anyone — including an avowed Republican — can participate in the election. In the event both parties conduct primaries, voters can only participate in one primary. , The winner becomes that party’s candidate in the November election. State and county primaries are held the second Tuesday in June; town and city primaries the first Tuesday in March. Special elections can be held at any time to fill an unexpired term. This is sometimes done if the incumbent (the person holding that office) dies or resigns. The State Board of Elections presides over and sets policy for state and local elections. That board is comprised of three qualified Virginia voters chosen by the governor and confirmed by the Virginia General Assembly — the state’s governing body. The members are appointed for a four-year term and, by law, a majority of the board members must be from the political party which cast the highest number of votes in the last preceding gubernatorial election. Each county or city has an Electoral Board which carries out the directives from the State Board of Elections. Local Electoral Boards are composed of three members, one appointed each year by the Circuit Court for a three-year term. The members represent each of the two political parties whose candidates received the highest and next highest number of votes at the gubernatorial election immediately preceding their * appointment. The local electoral board, in turn, appoints a general registrar for a four-year term. The registrar must maintain a public office to register voters and must keep current and Voting in Virginia is not hard, but you must be sure to register. MARK REGAN/ARUNDEL NEWSPAPERS accurate records of everyone registered to vote in that county or city. To help out on Election Day, local Electoral Boards appoint election officers. The officers conduct the election at their respective polling places or precincts and certify the results. To become a candidate, one must file his intentions with election officials and independent candidates must also provide a petition signed by a certain percentage of the qualified voters from the area they would represent. Among other things, candidates for any elective office in Virginia must file with the State Board of Elections a statement of his or her qualifications for the office they seek. The candidates also must me two unanciai disclosure reports. The first is due by the seventh day before the election; the second is due within 30 days following the election. Federal law prohibits federal employees from holding participating in partisan politics. In Virginia, state and local government employees enerally are eligible to hold office, although specific laws prohibit it in some cases. The order in which the names appear on the ballot and on the voting machine is determined in two ways. The names of representatives from major political parties are put on the ballot first, the order determined by draw. The names of non-partisan and independent candidates follow in alphabetical order. When election day finally rolls around, election officials are on the job early — most by 5:15 a.m. The polls open at 6 a.m. and remain open until 7 p.m. Anyone who is in line to vote by 7 p.m. is allowed to vote. Each precinct has a polling place where voters who live within the boundaries of that precinct may go to vote. Each voter who enters the polling place is checked to make sure he or she is registered to vote at that precinct. After verification, the voter either marks his choice on a paper ballot or votes on a voting machine. Working models of voting machines are set up at each precinct to familiarize first-time voters with the machine. Sample paper ballots also must be on display. Only one voter is permitted in a voting machine at one time. However, children as old as age 12 can accompany their parent into the voting machine. In other than primary and presidential elections, a voter may write in for any office the name of anyone whose name does not appear on the ballot. Election officials have made provisions to help those who need assistance in the voting process. Voters who are physically or “educationally” unable to vote may get the assistance of an election official. A blind voter may have anyone of their choice help them — although the person rendering the assistance must be under oath. Paper ballots are available for people in wheelchairs or physically incapable of making it inside the poll. Election officials can take paper ballots to a physically handicapped voter as far as 150 feet from the pool. From one to three representatives (depending on the number of registered voters) from each political party are permitted to stay inside the polls. But no soliciting or campaigning is allowed inside the poll or within 40 feet of the outside door of the poll. Election officials are authorized to arrest anyone who disrupts an election. One representative from each party is allowed to witness the pre-election inspection of the voting machines or ballot boxes. As many as two representatives from each party and one from each independent candidate are permitted to witness the vote counting after the polls are closed. After all the ballots have been counted and the results determined, the total votes cast for each candidate are entered on a Statement of Results and signed by all the officers of election. By noon of the second day following the election, the local electoral meets to verify the results. The State Board of Elections then meets the fourth Monday in November and officially certifies the results. If an election ends in a tie, the winner is determined by lot.

NEW DOMINION October 1985 Supplement for Star Exponent, Culpeper News, Rappahannock News, Hanover Herald-Progress Paid Political Advertisement - By Authority Baliles for Governor Campaign Baliles Advocates New Dominion Paraphrasing the Old Dominion name, Jerry Baliles called for the creation of a New Dominion at appearances across the Seventh District. “It is essential that the Old Dominion become the New Dominion,” explained Baliles, “it must remain competitive.” “In this country, education has been the bootstrap by which we have pulled ourselves up,” he stressed. “It is important to the future of agriculture, the future of manufacturing, and the future of high technology." Tying education to economic growth was a major focus of the Baliles appearance before 300 people at Lake of the Woods in Orange County and a meeting of 400 people held at Commonwealth Park in Culpeper. “Economic growth is essential for the preservation of Virginia’s small towns,” Baliles explained. “We are going for an economic transformation... education and' transportation are the building blocks for the future.” “Last year was the first time Virginia students scored above the national average in all categories, and I want to build on Governor Robb’s education progress,” stressed Baliles. “Sound financial management is also a key to the New Dominion, according to Baliles. “I had 5,000 lawsuits a year and ran 200 agencies on less than $8 million. Our collection efforts brought Virginia back more than $30 million. I would like to say to my opponents, if you run Washington like I ran the Attorney General’s Office, this country would be in better shape.” “Today we have shown how to build for the future without big government,” Baliles stated. “There are ways to consolidate and improve efficiency and productivity both in the workplace and in government.” In his Lake of the Woods speech, Baliles stressed his conservative background and the quality administration which he had brought to the Virginia Attorney General’s Office. In Culpeper he targeted education and agriculture. Culpeper Reception Holly Brear and Cathy Godfrey share their concerns with Jerry Baliles at a reception hosted for Jerry in Culpeper at Commonwealth Park. Approximately 400 people turned out for one of the largest political functions in the county's history. Robb-Baliles Team "Jerry Baliles is a team player - he’s been on my team from the beginning," said Gov. Charles Robb endorsing Baliles. Looking to continue Virginia’s progress, Gov. Robb stressed Jerry’s administrative experience. “Jerry Baliles had the ability and personal relationships to work closely with the General Assembly to produce the legislation necessary to keep us on a sound economic footing,” explained the Governor. The New Dominion theme was the keynote of the campaign for Baliles and Jerry pledged to continue in “the Robb tradition.” Tourism Growing Industry; Baliles Praises Local Efforts The development of industries which cater to tourism which do not create dramatic growth are a priority for rural areas. Jerry Baliles noted the sales catalogue operations for a number of businesses including Faith Mountain in Sperryville and Country Manor. He pointed out that it is refreshing when you can walk into the craft house at Colonial Williamsburg and see products from Graves’ Lodge being sold as typical Virginia products. The expansion of the Virginia wine industry also promotes tourism and will be of benefit. The new winery facility being built for Prince Michel at Leon in Madison County is an example of theftype of development which brings in tourist dollars but not other associated problems with increased population, explained Baliles. He noted the growth of wineries and vineyards in the strip running from Fauquier to Albemarle County. The approach presently being utilized in the localities and the examples cited are indicative of the opportunities available. He pointed to the Great Meadows project in Fauquier County and Com Jerry Baliles Most Effective America’s Attorney Generals have selected Jerry Baliles as America’s Outstanding State Attorney General for 1985. Baliles credited the administration of his office and his ability to reduce cost as a major factor in the selection. He indicated that he was pleased to have been selected by both Republicans and Democrats alike. monwealth Park as two examples of the creation of projects which help the horse industry in Virginia. Industrial Revenue Authority bonds have been utilized in a number of cases across the 7th District. He pointed to the redevelopment of the Hudson Ham House into “Culpeper Fine Provisions” as an excellent example of the renewal of agriculturally oriented industry in the Central Piedmont. In his swings through the 7th District, Gerald Baliles noted a number of artisans and craftsmen who had businesses in the 7th. He noted that this is significant and also helps with tourism. “As people go to visit the National Parks and to enjoy the scenic views in the historic Central Piedmont, they will have the opportunity to purchase items crafted in Virginia. This helps the Virginia economy.”

Baliles Hits Crime, Targets Drug Use I Gerald Baliles has pledged to continue his battle against crime as Governor. Having successfully enacted the Robb anti-crime proposal, he called for continuing the strengthening of Virginia’s law enforcement tools. He urged a crackdown on drug trafficking and called for the centralizing of a drug information clearinghouse. Fighting Drugs “I worked successfully for stiffer penalties against drug users and dealers while Attorney General. I will continue the fight as Governor by pressing for new and tougher punishments,” announced Baliles. Baliles said that a major problem is to insure that swifter and more certain conviction occurs of wrongdoers. He pointed to problems in the past and indicated thaft tougher sentences would be a solution. Crime against children and the elderly are a particular problem and Baliles called for a concentrated fight against crime in the family. Making the highways safer is a major issue. Baliles has called for toughening of drunk-driving laws and has supported legislation {>prmitting the utilization of bl6odalcohol content determinations derived from hospital laboratories as well as those derived pursuant ■ to the implied consent law. P Caring for the victim of crimes also needs to be a consideration. Gerald Baliles has supported this effort and explained that he will continue to do so. ri Gerald Baliles’ staff has pointed out that he is the only candidate for statewide office this year with an 18-year commitment to public ser- g vice and law enforcement. “Jerry Baliles has used his experience as lawyer, legislator and Attorney General to translate planning into action and initiative into leadership. His record speaks for itself,” explained A1 Smith. lourism Growing Historic Fredericksburg Praising the Main Street project and the designations of Fredericksburg and Winchester as area cities that have a record of historic preservation and tourism promotion, Jerry Baliles toured the developing area along Caroline Street in Fredericksburg with State Senator Ed Houck and Dana Houck. Here, a passerby explains her concerns to the gubernatorial candidate. History Keystone of New Dominion History and tradition are the keystone of the Old Dominion. The New Dominion campaign theme of Jerry Baliles’ campaign for Governor incorporates these Jiallmarks. 1 “History has become big business in Virginia. It has created tourism. People bring their dollars to Virginia and spend them but do not demand substantial governmental services,” explained Jerry Baliles. On a recent walk through downtown historic Fredericksburg, Gerald Baliles emphasized the commitment made by local citizens to the preservation of Virginia’s heritage. He pointed to the progress which had been made by a number of communities in the area and the successful designation of both Fredericksburg and Winchester as Main Street Project communities. II Winchester is the only “mall” city to be selected. It has an active Parking Authority and has dealt with the development of the central business district by encouraging the restoration of historic buildings and commercial vitality. Having previously visited and praised Winchester, Baliles commended the Fredericksburg effort. He pointed to the substantial progress which already has been Rappahannock Concerns Talking with Lee Bird and Dr. Werner Krebser in Washington, Virginia, Jerry Baliles learns first hand about the concerns Rappahannock residents have about the environment. They agree with the New Dominion theme voiced by Baliles. made and praised the efforts of those who were preserving the best. Baliles noted that across this area of Virginia, there is a commitment to education and history. At Germanna Community College, Jeannie Baliles learned firsthand of the diggings which are underway at the Spotswood site. Gerald Baliles praised these efforts and also pointed to the broad range of Historic Gordonsville which is sponsoring the project. Private Efforts Jerry Baliles praised the efforts of private enterprise in conserving Virginia’s “architectural gems and historic sites.” In Culpeper he noted the activity which had been generated by the Civil War Reenactments. “The recent ABC television coverage benefits Virginia, tourism and our economy,” he explained. Generous Gifts “The generous contributions and efforts on behalf of the citizens of Virginia have helped to make our history more alive,” explained Baliles. He noted the generosity of Mrs. Marion duPont Scott and the provisions which will insure that Montpelier will be accessible to the public. This historic Orange County site is another hallmark in preserving what is best of Virginia’s history. Jerry Baliles indicated that Central Piedmont is fortunate that so many buildings are being saved and noted that there is a history of historic preservation. “All one has to do is to appreciate the work which has gone into preserving Monticello and Ashlawn to appreciate the work that is now underway across this area of the state.” In his Fredericksburg comments, Baliles couldn’t help but note the fervor for historic preservation which exists in Virginia. He noted efforts which have been made at Randolph-Macon College for the preservation of Washington-Franklin Hall. Nearby in Scotchtown is the home of Patrick Henry which has been restored. Baliles called for the continued preservation of historic sites and preservation of documents. He noted the efforts which have been made on the part of the state to microfilm documents and to insure that an accurate record was kept for the future. Merchants Hear Baliles Gerald Baliles spoke to the annual dinner meeting of the Culpeper Retail Merchants Association. He praised the efforts of small business in helping the Virginia economy. The concern of small businesses about shoplifting, bad checks and other similar crimes drew Baliles’ attention. In comments following the meeting, he indicated that those were issues that needed to be dealt with forcefully and he pointed to his active record in law enforcement as Attorney General.

Who is Jerry Baliles? Caring, thoughtful candidate NOTE: The following are excerpts from ah article which appeared in the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Sunday, September 22, 1985 and was written by Dale Eisman. It is reprinted here as an objective analysis of who Gerald Baliles is and provides a non-partisan picture of the Democratic candidate for Governor. His political and professional life has been a testament to the effectiveness of the kind of careful planning and deliberate execution that he is promising to bring to the governor’s office. When you ask about his achievements, Gerald Lee Baliles is liable to give you a discourse on how he modernized the attorney general’s office or how-he got his first bill passed by picking off each member of a hostile committee with tailored arguments.... Baliles is using the same cool, dispassionate style in the general election campaign - indeed, it has marked his entire life - but his friends say the care and caution of the political man are just part of a complex package.... Easy Manner He is a man whose reserved public exterior hides a sharp wit and an easy manner that conveys a personal interest in those he meets face to face. He is intense and hard driving, but his favorite recreation is the most laid back: fishing. He is known for thoughtfulness among his friends, but in the words of one friend, he “does not have a lot of sympathy for work that is not done on time and is not done right" Growing Up In the 1940s, when Baliles was growing up on a farm north of Stuart, Patrick County was about as isolated a place as you could find in Virginia. There was no redio station and the closest newspaper was in Martinsville, 30 miles east and a place that Baliles can remember visiting only on very special occasions. Stuart, the seat, was home for the only industry, a small textile factory. Most people made a living farming and lumbering. Baliles’ grandparents, who raised him and his brother Larry from the time he was 6, were no exception. His grandfather had apple and peach orchards, raised timber and presided over a strict household in the Buffalo Ridge section of Patrick. “We had no television in the house. My grandfather would not permit it,” Baliles says simply. “He read the newspaper.” His parents’ marriage soon broke up, and his father brought the boys home to Patrick. Jerry and Larry lived with their grandparents while their dad drove a truck for a company owned by one of their uncles. Stuart lived nearby with an aunt and uncle. Their father, on the road through the week, often came home on weekends, but Baliles rarely speaks of him when recalling those years ... As a teenager, he took a job at a sawmill owned by his Uncle Curtis but lasted only a day, complain ing that “that sawmill addles my brain.” “He always had a book,” said Mrs. T.H. Griffith, the aunt who helped raise Stuart. Another aunt living in Washington regularly sent copies of National Geographic and the Washington Post to Baliles and his grandfather and Jerry would climb into the attic to dig out textbooks that had belonged to his father and aunts and uncles. His grandparents used to tuck Stanley Homecoming On one of his frequent trips to Page County. Jerry Baliles enjoys participating in the Stanley Homecoming parade. This annual event draws thousands of people home to Page County. During the campaign Jerry has not had time, but he enjoys canoeing on the Shenandoah River and is apt to share fishing stories with anyone willing to listen. him in at night, he remembers, and then return in a few minutes to find he had switched on the light and returned to his reading. They would tuck him in again, and Baliles would pull out a flashlight as soon as they left. .. He was most interested in history and biography and still is, but Baliles read in every subject. His early heroes were statesmen like George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, explorers like Jim Bridger and at least one thinker: Benjamin Disraeli.... Brothers And though all three of the brothers have gone into some sort of service work - Jerry as a politician, Larry as a deputy sheriff in Patrick and Stuart as a Baptist missionary in Africa - the candidate can’t remember that his grandparents or aunts and uncles especially urged that, either. Service to .others “was something that we discussed, that you had an obligation to society.... I don’t know that it was so much mandated as it was instilled,’’ he says. “They were all hard workers. I guess what I’ve done is I’ve acquired their work ethic, but I’ve just transferred it to a different line of work.” “It’s instructive to go back to one’s roots,” he says. “I can see where I was and where I might still be.” Almost as an afterthought, he adds, “That wouldn’t be all bad.” Military School Balues first real escape was to Fishburne Military school, a prep school near Waynesboro. .. At Fishburne, Baliles waited tables and washed dishes, found the same strict discipline his grandfather had provided and got his first real intellectual challenge... The Rev. Ramsey Richardson, now an Episcopal minister in Charlottesville, remembers having Baliles for Latin, English and history classes at Fishburne. “He was a super student,,very conservative, very much a leader,” Mr. Richardson says. .. It was at Fishburne that Baliles solidified the habits of careful planning and organization that have characterized his later years. There, too, he apparently first began to think about a career in politics. Mr. Richardson, who later was Baliles’ priest in Richmond and baptized both of his children, said the two of them used to take walks together and discuss a political career.... In law school the pattern of work and study that Baliles set for himself continued, even with his marriage in August 1964. He worked part time in h Charlottesville lawyer’s office and on the law school newspaper and kept up his reading. Try Cases Mrs. Baliles remembers that while many of their friends aimed for large law firms and big money after graduation, her husband wanted to get out and try cases. That led him to the attorney general’s office in Richmond, where he was hired as an assistant attorney general in 1967, and “within six months I was trying cases all over the state,” he said. Andrew P. Miller, elected attorney general two years after Baliles came to the office, remembers that he came to a quick realization that Baliles was “a quick study” and naturally turned to the young lawyer when the office needed to beef up its environmental law expertise. With the passage of the federal Clean Air and Clean Water acts, state agencies were confronted with a myriad of new rules and regulations, Miller said. “Jerry was very good in working with the agencies and getting them on track.” Law Expert In short order, Baliles staked out a place as one of the leading experts on environmental law in Virginia and the Southeast. He also began, largely at the urging of his fellow lawyers Angus Macaulay and John Shenefield, to get involved in local Democratic politics. “The thing about the Balileses is that they could beanybody," Mrs. Macaulay says. Both were and are down-to-Earth, unassuming people, she added. The Balileses and their two children, Laura, 16, and Jonathan, 14, used to borrow the Macaulay's tent for annual camping trips, and her husband and Baliles used to sit around the house on weekends, drinking beer and plotting strategy for intraparty battles, Mrs. Macaulay recalls. Attorney General* Ed Harrell, a friend and confidant, believes that Baliles was determined to run for attorney general even before the race against Carwile. “Somewhere in his formative years, he made a decision about what he was going to be,” Harrell argues. “I don’t think that ever completely leaves his consciousness.” By virtue of his experience as an assistant to Miller, Baliles had extensive contacts in state government and knowledge about its operations.

Baliles Reaches Out, Listens to Area Voters Mary Washington Rally Mr. W.L. Bailey, Delegate Bob Ackerman, and Scott Walker greet Jerry Baliles when he arrived at Mary Washington College to speak to a campaign rally. Earlier in the day Jerry had toured the downtown area in Fredericksburg and praised the local efforts which led to the selection of the city as only one of five Main Street project communities. Business Concerns Harry Gibbs, a small businessman from Madison and former operator of the country store at Shelby, met Jerry Baliles in the town of Madison. Listening to his concerns about the economic problems of farmers and small merchants, Jerry pledged his efforts as Governor to help promote a strong economy in Virginia. Door-to-door in Hanover Jerry Baliles greets James Smith Sr. of Mechanicsville while conducting a door-to-door campaign in the growing Hanover community. The candidate had been greeted earlier in the day by more than 200 supporters at a continental breakfast. Fauquier Leaders In Warrenton for a visit to Oak Springs Nursing Home and to open the Democratic Headquarters, Jerry Baliles took time from campaigning to meet with the constitutional officers for Fauquier County. Pictured here are Harvey Pearson, Clerk of Court, Jerry Wood, Baliles coordinator, Charlie ^oley, Commonwealth’s Attorney, Alice Jane Childs, Commissioner of Revenue, and Ashby Olinger, Sheriff. J.E. Cox, Treasurer, arrived just after the picture was taken, and joined Jerry at the headquarters opening with the other constitutional officers. Rappahannock Hug Caroline Baumgardner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas K. Baumgardner of Sperryville, gives Jerry a hug. Shyness disappeared when Jerry and Caroline talked at a reception in Washington, Virginia. Carson Johnson, standing in the rear, enjoys the exchange. ’ I Madison Stop Stopping for a quick snack and the day’s papers in Madison County, Jerry Baliles talked with small business owners and farmers on a swing through the Piedmont.

Farmer support Mr. and Mrs. E.C. Compton of Greene County share an enjoyable conversation with Jerry Baliles at a reception early in the campaign. E.C. Compton, former state director of the Farmers Home Administration for Virginia, is supporting Baliles because of the commitment made by Jerry to encourage agribusiness. Education First Priority In Baliles’ Campaign Jerry Baliles’ first priority is education.1 Every major appearance by the candidate includes a ringing reference to his commitment to a “quality education for all Virginians.” Baliles Urges Planning Gerald Baliles has called for the creation of a new Secretary of Economic Development to develop and execute a comprehensive plan for growth. In his tour of the Northern Piedmont, Gerald Baliles supported Governor Robb's development of the Center for Innovative "Technology. He further indicated support for the creation of a Foreign Trade Zone at Dulles Airport. This would expand economic opportunities for the Northern Piedmont of Virginia. A major focus of industrial growth in Virginia has been its right-to-work law. He indicated continuing support for the Virginia right-to-work tradition. He also voiced support for minority and businesses and urged that we increase the efforts for worker retraining through the private industry councils. Specifically, he looked at the expansion of existing businesses. He pointed to the proposed expansion for American Press in Gordonsville and to the expansion of new industries in Spotsylvania and Hanover counties. “The state ought to be supportive and helpful.’’ The Baliles focus on education is not new. His service in the General Assembly was marked by a strong record of support for both secondary and higher education. “The cornerstone of education will be quality, professional instruction. Our teachers must be recognized for the professionals they are. Salaries must be commensurate with their devotion to the job and must recognize the responsibility our educators undertake," explained Baliles. “In the New Dominion I will commit the resources of the Commonwealth to raising teacher salaries to the national average. Once this is accomplished we will strive to achieve a higher ranking. “Professionalism will also be recognized by developing career ladder systems and the opportunity for teacher improvement through longer term contracts,” stressed Baliles. ’ He also stated, "The Commonwealth must continue to recognize the benefits of a balanced relationship between our statesupported institutions of higher education and the many fine private institutions located in this state." Continuing his support for community colleges, Baliles explained, "Community colleges have expanded to fill an important role in the education strategies of this Commonwealth. The community college system is a tremendous success story. “My administration will devote the necessary time and commitment to our community college system to insure its continued sue cess in productivity throughout this century and into the 21st century. “Outreach programs will need to be created on a larger scale, worker retraining programs will need to be established to meet our changing demographics and other aspects of the curriculum may need to be redirected.’’ Baliles Pledges To Help Agribusiness Jerry Baliles has pledged his efforts to agribusiness through initiatives for marketing, financing and research to benefit Virginia’s farmers. In remarks to a breakfast meeting of the Friends of Industry of Agriculture, Baliles recognized that the forest industry is a major force within an agricultural economy and noted that successful reforestation and timber management rpresented a significant employment source. This is a major industry employer in the 7th District. Calling agriculture the most “effective and efficient industry in Virginia,” Baliles stressed that, “20 percent of the Commonwealth’s workers derive their livelihood from agriculture.” In looking at agriculture in the 7th District he noted the diversity which existed from dairy farming to apple orchards, from beef farming to poultry interests, from hog operations to grain farming. The focus on the quality of agriculture needs to be maintained, and Baliles indicated that he was committed to this effort. He urged the increase in communication between the agricultural community and state government, especially with the office of the Governor. Gerald Baliles urged the continuation of necessary conservation and environmental programs. Continuing the hallmark of the Robb era, Gerald Baliles urged that new markets are developed and every effort is made to pro mote Virginia’s products both in domestic and foreign markets. Baliles also indicated that as Governor, he would propose a conference of all governors of major agricultural states to be convened for the purposes of reviewing and seeking solutions to agricultural problems. Farm Bureau Hosts Baliles Gerald Baliles has reached out at a variety of functions into the 7th District. In August at the Madison County Farm Bureau picnic, he stressed the need for a strong economy and quality education. At a reception of local Democrats in Madison, he said that he believed that education and economic growth are bound together and an educated work forceps the basis for economic growth. “We are now in the top 15 states in creating new jobs,” Baliles told the gathering. “The question is whether we rest upon that progress or go forward. I believe the times require us to build on that progress and stimulate our agricultural industry and find new ways to promote employment.” Baliles told the gathering at the Farm Bureau’s annual picnic that he understands the importance of the farm economy to counties like Madison. “I support a strong economy, a right to work law, a balanced budget and education,” he said in summarizing his stance on positions. Education Emphasis r.aucauon has been listed as the first priority of the Baliles campaign. Jerry Baliles stops to talk with Henry Lee Carter, former Com monwealth's Attorney for Orange County, about the need for maintaining Standards of Quality for Virginia’s public schools.

Campaigning Family Affair for Baliles Campaigning is a family affair for the Baliles family. Jeannie Baliles has made several swings through the 7th District. She has enjoyed focusing on the 7th. It has given her an opportunity to stop at crossroads. For example, in Ruckersville, in Greene County, she stopped at the Big E and had an opportunity to meet people and talk about her husband’s campaign for Governor. In 1965 when Jeannie Baliles was teaching history at Lane High School in Charlottesville, she never dreamed she would be back in the 7th District campaigning for her husband, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate. On a swing which took her through Goochland, Madison, Gordonsville, Culpeper, Charlottesville, Ruckersville, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania Spotsylvania Swing Country stores are a political landmark in every section of Virginia. Here Jeannie Baliles stops to encourage a Spotsylvania resident, Leche Brooks, to help in the Baliles campaign. Adult Illiteracy Target of Jeannie Baliles “I’m concerned about adult illiteracy. This concern predates my involvement in my husband’s campaign for Governor,” explained Jeannie Baliles, wife of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gerald Baliles. In appearances and in interviews in Hanover, Fredericksburg, Fauquier, Culpeper, Winchester and Charlottesville, Jeannie Baliles emphasized her interest in the adult illiteracy crisis. Germanna Talk In an appearance at Germanna Community College, Jeannie Baliles stressed that it was essential to utilize all of the state’s resources. She praised the efforts of Germanna Community College in reaching out to the various localities served by the college. In later conversations with area educators, she commended the ac tivities of the technical schools. For example, Piedmont Tech which serves a regional area and is located in Culpeper County has programs which help with adult illiteracy. The commitment as First Lady will bring “visibility to the issue.” Jeannie Baliles commited herself to make this her primary focus. She indicated that a First Lady is usually successful when she “doesn’t spread herself too thin.” Adult illiteracy will be her primary concern. “It is deplorable when we see the number of adults who are not able to read and write,” stated Mrs. Baliles. “It is essential that we do something about it and commit ourselves to erase illiteracy among our working population. It affects their ability to retain jobs and to gain employment. Court House, Louisa, Mineral and Ashland, Jeannie Baliles found the need to be very flexible. She coped with a hectic schedule which kept her on the road from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. for two days. In Orange she noted, “If you can keep a sense of humor, things will work out.” Gerald Baliles has committed himself to quality education in Virginia. His wife’s background as a public school teacher and the fact that they have two children, Laura, 16, and Jonathan, 14, further encourages this public education attention. Ties to 7th Jeannie Baliles enjoyed her trips through the 7th because her family has substantial ties to the area. Jerry and Jeannie Baliles moved to Charlottesville when Jeannie got her job at Lane High School and later was a sixth and seventh grade teacher at Walker Middle School. Education A principal focus of the Baliles’ campaign has been on quality education. Jeannie Baliles emphasized her husband’s commitment to the community college system and to secondary education. She indicated that frequently most people think of the fouryear colleges as the major beneficiaries of state funding. A major focus of a Baliles governorship will be on strengthening the accessibility of education. Ashland At a reception for over 100 people in Ashland, she stressed the opportunities which had been provided to her and responded to the close kinship which she felt with individuals in the 7th Congressional District. She said, "Having lived in Piedmont Virginia, it’s nice to be able to feel like you’re ‘going home’ when you’re travelling through the Central Piedmont of Virginia.” Valley Swing At a dinner in Page County in a swing up the valley, Jeannie Baliles focused on her local contacts and on her commitment to public education. At a dinner attended by one of the largest crowds in Page County, Jeannie Baliles stressed her commitment to the people in this area of Virginia. RUS Tour While in Culpeper campaigning she had the opportunity to have a tour of Rental Uniform Services’ plant, and she enjoyed the opportunity of talking and meeting with a number of individuals during their break. While in Fredericksburg she toured the downtown Historic District. Before arriving in Fredericksburg she spent some time touring the Germanna Community College campus. RUS Tour Jeannie Baliles hits the ground running in her efforts to help her husband be elected governor. On a campaign swing through the 7th District, Jeannie visited and toured the Rental Uniform Service plant in Culpeper. She greeted the workers on their break in the cafeteria. Baliles Focuses On Conservation Effort Conservation and support for sportsmen in Virginia was a major focus of the Sportsmen for Baliles organization created through the efforts of more than 50 sportsmen from across Virginia. As Attorney General Baliles has built a solid record in opposition to restrictive firearms laws. “He did it through actions and not just words,” explained Sam Woolwine of Richmond. “Baliles will not, as so many politicians are prone to do, mistake the issue of firearms control with that of crime. Baliles has built a solid anti-crime record and has done so through support of Cooperation Park Key Jerry Baliles has recognized the impact that the National Park Service has on the central area of the 7th District. He urged an effort by local, state and federal authorities to focus on the positions taken so that conflict between the various governmental units is avoided in the future. “It is important to attract tourists and their dollars to this area,” explained Baliles as he drove through Rappahannock and Page counties. Aware that there is historic distrust of the National Park Service, he urged that there be greater communication between the local governments that adjoin the park and the National Park Service. laws aimed at the criminal and not the law-abiding gun owners and hunters.” Bay Clean Up Jerry Baliles, in statements, has stressed the need to accelerate the efforts to clean up the Chesapeake Bay through incentive programs to reduce the flow of non-point source pollution. A major point in his comments related to the environment has dealt with the cleanup of toxic waste sites and the management for future waste disposal. “Wise use of our natural resources in protecting Virginia’s environment is a key to the future of our outdoor recreational traditions. Preventing overexploitation of resources and pollution of the environment is a high priority,” explained Gerald Baliles. Fisherman Gerald Baliles has actively participated in hunting and fishing in the 7th District. He has enjoyed a canoe fishing trip down the Shenandoah River in Page County and has frequently taken the opportunity to enjoy Central Piedmont. When riding through Madison County recently, Gerald Baliles commented, “One of my favorite places to stay is Graves’ Lodge. Everyone talks about the food, and I agree, it’s great, but what they don’t say is how beautiful this section of Virginia is. It’s a joy just to get away and come to this area for peace and relaxation.”

All Aboard Jerry Baliles endorsed the commuter train from Fredericksburg to northern Virginia as one of the solutions to the mass transit problems facing the state. By traveling the line and listening to what area residents had to say, Baliles called for greater efforts to solve commuter headaches and stressed maintenance of existing highways. Road Maintenance Necessary Baliles Promotes Commuter Service Transportation is an issue which Gerald Baliles has recognized as a major need in Virginia. In visits to Fredericksburg and Manassas, he stressed his commitment to help with the development of a daily commuter rail service originating in Fredericksburg and terminating in Northern Virginia. Baliles recently told a citizens group that it will take a variety of transportation improvements “to meet the needs of a state as large as Virginia, including extensive work on bridges and highways.” He further emphasized that commuter rail can play a major role in helping relieve the congestion. He noted that there are a number of people who travel from localities such as Lake of the Woods and Fredericksburg northward. It would help eliminate long rush hours. The commuter rail service could be expanded as the region grows. He noted that the principal focus is now the Fredericksburg corridor, but he pointed out that the Southern runs through Fauquier, Culpeper, Orange and into Charlottesville. This is another possibility for the future. “Transportation problems,” Baliles explained, “touch every one of us and affect our lives more consistently and directly than any other single issue involving state government. The ability to move people and goods across our state quickly, safely and inexpensively, is basic to Virginia’s hope for the future.” Baliles also explained that there needs to be a balance in the economic growth. It is important that we plan carefully for the future. Transportation is the key. The rural roads of the Seventh District also came to the candidate’s attention. In driving Small Business Leadership Essential for Virginia “Virginia’s economy - vigorous, diverse and growth oriented - is both a source of pride and a resource to the nurtured,” explained Gerald Baliles. In stressing the need for leadership for growth, Baliles said “small businesses constitute the primary vehicle through which women and minorities become entrepreneurs. Women-owned businesses represent 29 percent of the non-farm sole proprietorships in Virginia. “Today small businesses face a number of urgent, interconnected challenges to which state government must respond quickly and ef fectively so that small business entrepreneurship, innovation, employr ^ent and expansion may continue,” explained Baliles. “My administration will respond to that challenge with an action agenda.” Baliles has urged the creation of small business financing plans which include investment tax credits, the development of secondary markets and careful review of state security laws. He urged the creation of a Virginia small business data base to provide information and establish market trends. He also indicated that his administration would continue the publication of a Virginia Register. “Innovation and technology are a key to economic growth. Virginia’s small businesses must have this access,” urged Babies. “Cutting red tape and regulatory reform and paperwork reduction are essential ingredients for the Babies administration,” he explained. “Government should only do that which government does best - only that which government must do,” stated Babies. It is essential to streamline state government so that it does not interfere with local businessmen. across Route 17 from Fredericksburg to a function in Warrenton, he commented on the rapidly growing number of subdivisions. “The commitment to road maintenance is essential for Virginia,” explained Baliles. He stressed the need to insure that sufficient funds are made available to maintain roads. While travelling across Route 230 between Madison and Orange, he had the opportunity to stop at several country stores. He stressed the need to insure road maintenance and pointed out the commitment to the secondary road system which will exist in his administration if he is elected governor. Vote November 5th
