Rappahannock News Photo/William Wesley Talbott FIREFIGHTER JAMES STRINGFELLOW prepares to cut boards from wall to determine extent of chimney fire. Pat Davis watches. Chimney fire in Harris Hollow A morning chimney fire at the Kirk and Pat Davis home in Harris Hollow caused more concern thah^actual damage. Mrs. Davis was usy ing an airtight woodstave attached’ to an unlined chimney at the time of the fire. Members of the Flint Hill, Washington, and Sperijyville fire depart merits responded to the fire. A ^steady stream of smoke poured from f the exterior of the house which prompted members of the fire departments to cut exterior Walls of the house. After it was determined that the blaze had not spread, members of the departments proceeded to clean the chimney of creosote. Old unlined chimneys are dangerous, explained firefighter Frankie * Huff, because the mortar becomes brittle and, once cracked, lets the fire escape into the building. “I want people to know that they should make sure their chinmneys are lined,” said Mr. Huff. Heritage House opens in Washington By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock Newi Stall Writer Nan and Jim Thomasson began converting an 1837 Washington home into a country guest house last autumn. Heritage House, which has two guest rooms and a private suite, is now open for business offering patrons a glimpse of authentic country life. The owners, who also operate . “Country Heritage” across the street, have spent a tremendous number of hours painting, restoring, and creating to lure past visitors of their gift shop to this weekemTr&h treat. The house is a sincere rgfle&l tion of the Thomasson’s taste for quality country furnishings in a rural setting. The first floor of the building is currently used by Jim and Nan as their residence, but guests are welcome to use the public areas. Just off the foyer is a living area featuring, as does the rest of the house, antique furniture complemented by recent art and crafts. The room is painted in stark white and accented by Williamsburg brick red. In front of the fireplace is a cozy sitting area with a 130 year old antique child’s sled resting on a nearby wall. The room also features an unusual handmade sideboard — a one-of-a-kind piece — made dining the 1830’s. Another piece of furniture from the same period is their large cherry plank-top table centered in the adjoining dining room. Jim spends much of his time restoring furniture and the beauty of this table is an impressive result of his labor. The room is painted in Wedgewood blue with white ceilings and track lighting. A “wall” on one side of the room is composed of small windows that frame the view of the “pump room.” This room was so named because it houses an old non-working water pump. Perhaps the charm of the room is its wicker furniture that pro-. vides guests with a relaxing setting for sipping tea in the morning or afternoon. The Thomasson’s have converted the upstairs of the home into guest rooms. The style is decidedly Quaker. The halls are simple — adorned with unusual Quaker dolls and folk-art touches. The floors, like NAN^ND JIM Thomasson open new guesthouse in Washington. Rappahannock News Photo/Grcg Turner those downstairs, are made of pine. An antique hand-carved pineapple post bed greets visitors to the first room. The bedspread features a beautiful handmade quilt in red and blue colors. “A guest can lie in bed and look out at the mountains of the Blue Ridge,” says Jim. Another guest room is equally impressive in its simplicity. In that room stands an old burled walnut chest. An antique four-poster bed is on the way. Little touches make the difference at Heritage House. In nearly every room Nan has created unusual handmade curtains. Further down the hall is a guest suite which is in the last stages of completion. Jim is currently putting on the last of the old rose colored paint in the bedroom. Guests in the. suite will also have a private kitchen, bath and solarium. The latter is actually a sunny room that faces south with an inspiring view of the mountains. Jim proudly displays a limited edition country sampler that will soon be placed on one of the suite’s walls. From the suite a door leads to a roof patio. “We eventually want to put a deck out there,” says Jim, “for guests to enjoy in the summer.” Throughout the house are examples of the kinds of items that are sold in the Thomasson’s Country Supervisors try to fill new Board By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors are responsible for determining members to the newly created Board of Building Appeals. The new board, required by state law, will serve as an appeals body for property owners whose buildings have failed inspection. On Monday the supervisors selected William L. Anderson of Amissville, Fanning Baumgardner of Washington, Jon Morgan of Woodville, and G.N. Williams of Chester Gap. All are building contractors. The supervisors still need another member to serve on the board. In another matter, the supervisors will ask Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke to file a petition with the circuit court for a special election to elect a new commissioner of revenue. The election will be held next November. Merle Scoggin resigned on November 14, 1985 and the office is currently being managed by Deputy Commissioner Beverly Atkins. The supervisors have also approved Zoning Assistant Sandra Brown to substitute for acting Zoning Administrator Emiel Smet who is temporarily out of office due to an emergency. Members of the board also heard discussion about an insurance premium still owed to an insurance firm. Although $4,107 had already been authorized to the company, the latest figure has jumped to $8044.92. Board member Pete Estes said that he wants investigation into the matter before any further monies be approved. An insurance consultant hired by the county will be asked questions pertaining to the amount on later in the week. The supervisors also elected Del Price to serve on the Water and Sewer Authority. He replaces the Installation next phase By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer Wayne Cilimberg, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rap 4 Heritage shop across the street. Quilts, folk paintings, even the beds may be purchased by guests. Jim says that he plans to place an indiscreet pricing sheet on the back of the doors that notes the articles for sale in each room. “What is really fun for the guests,” says Nan, “is that they can’t say ‘we want to reserve the blue room’, because the next time' they come that room might be done in French country with peach and fern colors.” She says that all of the rooms basically Center around the colors of the quilt; for this reason the( curtains are made in neutral colors (Continued on Page 7) seat occupied by Clifford Miller. In another action, the supervisors re-appointed Frances Thornton to the Community Services Board. $l,122.50 was transferred from the general fund of the Rappahannock County School Board to the school board fund. The money had been raised by selling used equipment. The Board went into exeuctive session to interview another applicant for the county Zoning Administrator position. A final decision has not been reached. Governor’s School Two Rappahannock County High School students have been nominated for the Governor’s School for « the gifted to be held this summer at centers including VPI, Radford, Mary Baldwin College and NASA Space Center at Langley. Jonathan Watson, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Pendleton, of Sperryville, is an honor student and member of the RCHS Pop Quiz team. He has applied for admission into the program to be held at the NASA Space Center. Edward Welch, son of Mr. and Mrs. William R. Welch, of Flint Hilly is <&lso an honor student as well as a fine artist. He has applied for the visual arts school. The Governor’s School for the gifted is deigned to provide intellectually challenging^ and efiriching experiences for a limited number of juniors and seniors who are academically gifted or artistically talented. The nomination process begins at the local high school level. Nominees (Continued on Page 14) idan Planning District, told the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors Monday that the Sperryville sewer project is currently about 80 to 85 percent complete “but not in terms of servicing individual properties.” Installing septic tanks and installing lines to the system will be the final phase of the project. He said that this part of the project is “under 50 percent complete — fortunately it moves rather quickly; it’s about a four month job.” “Property owners will soon talk with the project inspector about placement of septic tanks,” he said. Mr. Cilimberg said that a user fee has yet to be established but that the fee would be a cost based on a proposed budget divided by the number of tanks. The budget, he. said, has not been finalized. Commercial users will absorb a higher cost because of greater use. Mr. Cilimberg presented the supervisors with a “substantially final” draft of the proposed sewer ordinance. This ordinance will be subject to a public hearing to be advertised later in January. This hearing will consist of a joint meeting of the Water and Sewer Authority and the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. The tentative date for that meeting is February 6 at 7:30 p.m. Ruritans “Keep the home fires burning — While our hearts are yearning.” This was the theme song of our nation way back when. At Christmas time this was still the cry in a number of Rappahannock homes. As usual the Amissville Ruritan club provided help and joy to 46 homes and individuals in need of a caring hand. As the Ruritans close another year of community activity, President Louis Jenkins expressed the appreciation felt by all club members to Rappahannock friends and patrons who have given support to their annual sale of fruit cakes. Future plans call for further development of the attractive eight acre tract given by Mrs. L. B. Stuart last year. Numerous requests have been made for a safe area in which to jog. A track for this purpose will be prepared circling the two ball fields, which the club maintains for a number of Little League baseball teams in the spring. Jenkins reminda^all Ruritan friends of the 25th annual barbecue scheduled for later this summer.

General District Court Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner r *• i After a lengthy trial on January 6, Roger Ellis Reid and Michael Foley were convicted of spotlight hunting for deer and shooting from a state road on November 15. “This is a very serious violation of hunting laws and certainly cannot be tolerated,” declared Judge William Carson. The lawyer for the defendents, William Helsley, argued that the men were out raccoon hunting and that the spotting lights and rifles found in the men’s possession were appropriate for that activity. Mr. Foley testified that he and Mr. Reid had been slowly driving down Route 618 when he saw a raccoon cross the road. He stopped the car, turned off the headlights, strapped a light onto his own head, then got out of the car and fired a shot. He said he crippled the raccoon and then embarked on a search for it with another hand-held light and a pistol. Mr. Helsley also stated that hunting provided the bulk of the defendants’ income during the winter months. Game Warden James Bankston, testified that from his vantage point on a rise of land about three-tenths of a mile away, he had seen headlights being thrown across an open field of the Montpelier property. He said that the dependents’ txdcfevhad backed into a small gateway, Jenabling its headlights to be cast mto the field at an angle perpendicular^ the road. Officer Bankston stated that a shot ram£ out while the car’s lights were shining into the field. The men agreed they did not have permission to hunt anywhere in the area. “It is difficult to me to see how Mr. Bankston could have confused headlights with lights held in the hand or worn on the head,” Judge Carson said. “This case comes down to credibility of witnesses. In my judgment, Mr. Bankston’s testimony supports the charge. ’’ Mr. Foley and Mr. Reid were each imposed fines of $300 for spotlight hunting for deer and $100 for shooting from a state road. Their hunting licenses will be suspended for the rest of this year and also for the coming year. Other cases decided on Tuesday were: Willard W.

No injuries in plane crash By Arundel Newspapera No injuries were reported in the Jan. 6 crash of a Ah-port*1^”16 ^essna a^rPlan© at Leesburg Municipal P^°^» Frank Barbero Jr., 41, of Virginia Beach and his three companions sustained no broken bones, but only “bumps And bruises,” according to State Trooper R.J. Paschal. Trooper Paschal said the crash may have been caused by wind sneer, and a pilot who witnessed the crash said injunes wjere averted by goddpiloting. The trooped said the four-seater Cessna R182 was attempting to land on Runway 17 when what was believed to be a wind sheer lifted the nose of the plane, causing it to lose forward speed. The plane then struck the runway tail first. The pilot attempted to go to full power, but was unable to do so, Trooper Paschal said. The plane continued through the air 1,150 feet before striking nose first and flipping onto its top, according to Trooper Paschal. The amount of damage was not known. The airplane was owned by Pompano Air Center, of Pompano, Fla. John R. Jones, an Arlington pilot who witnessed the accident, said there were no injuries because the “pilot had done enough right things so that no one was hurt.” Rapist gets 15 years A Loudoun Circuit Court Jury returned a guilty verdict against a former Loudoun resident for raping a 12-year-old girl last summer in the Lovettsville area. Kevin Marshall Payne, 29, is waiting in the Loudoun jail for Judge Carleton Penn to pass final sentencing in February. The judge may send Payne to prison for the full 15 years in prison, which the jury recommended. Last summer Payne was living in Charles Town, W. Va., and operating a lawn care and maintenance business in the Loudoun area, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jack T. Sutor Jr. said. Mr. Sutor, who tried the case, said that the victim went to one of Payne’s job sites near Lovettsville with a relative who worked for Payne. No one else was present when Payne “talked her into going in the woods with him,” Mr. Sutor said. The girl testified against Payne. Payne testified on his own behalf, as did two men who worked for him. Xerox pays $713,000 Potomac Park paid its first financial dividend to Loudoun County last week, when Xerox Realty Corp. and its parent company paid almost $713,000 in state and county fees for recording deeds and trusts. “It’s just one of the early benefits of the Xerox project,” stud William G. Thomas, the attorney who guided multibillion-dollar corporate development successfully through county zoning review in just eight months. The fees paid for one word — “realty” — as Xerox Corp. sold the 2,267-acre property near Leesburg to its real estate subsidiary, Xerox Realty Corp., on Dec. 31 for $190 million. That’s more than twice its assessed value before the county rezoned it on Dec. 16. The county assessed the land and existing training center at $81.2 million in 1985. t “When .you’re dealing with that big a tract of ground, with that kind of value, that’s what you hit,” Mr. Thomas said of the recording fees. Xerox Realty will develop Potomac Park, which will feature more than 11 million square feet of corporate, office and commercial space, as well as 1,830 houses. Xerox estimates the project will yield $2.4 billion in net revenue to Loudoun over the next 30 years. Virginia Roundup Sesquicentennial baby Clarke’s Sesquicentennial Baby has arrived, in plenty of time for the year-long county birthday celebration. And she’s everything the sponsoring committee could hope for. Not only is she the daughter of Clarke County residents, but she was actually born in Clarke County and has Clarke as part of her name. The new princess of the 150th anniversary festivities is Megan Elizabeth Clarke Mackintosh, bom Jan 3 at 1:59 a.m. at her parent’s home, Rockdale in northwestern Clarke County. The black-haired baby girl weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces at birth. Her father, Robert Mackintosh, 38, a horse trainer, assisted in the home delivery which her mother, Eleanor, 29, said was planned “years ago.” A midwife, Julianna Fehr from Winchester and a friend of the family who is a licensed practical nurse, assisted Megan into the world. v Clarke’s birthday party officially began New Year’s Day with a ceremony atop Ashby Gap where Route 50 cuts through the Blue Ridge. At a cabin that is one of the oldest structures in Clarke, Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. (R-Va./7th), former U.S. Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. (I-Va.), Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. (R-31st) and state Sen. William A. Truban (R-27th) joined such historic figures as George 'Washington, Daniel Morgan, George Rogers Clark and Abraham Lincoln to kick off the celebration. About 500 people braved blustery, biting winds to send off green sesquicentennial balloons and watch cannons roar happy birthday to Clarke County. Tests ordered for suspect A Berryville man accused of murdering his 84-yearold Josephine Street neighbor was ordered to undergo a psychiatric examination in Clarke Circuit Court Monday. Judge Robert Woltz agreed to a defense motion for tests to determine if William E. Moten, 27, was mentally competent at the time of the murder. An investigator for the Clarke County sheriff’s department testified Moten told him he had seen “the old man get stabbed” but that “another power or spirit killed the old man.” Investigator S. N. Clifton said Moten told him he didn’t know “if it was good or evil, but it wasn’t me.” The battered body of Brqivn Mancefield Paige was found by a search party behind Johnson-Williams Intermediate School on Josephine Street last July. Relatives, worried when they could not locate him at his home, had called the sheriff’s department. An autopsy showed Paige had died from a stab wound in the chest. Authorities speculated the motive may have been robbery. Rappahannock- Fauquier In 1986 the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center begins its second year of public transportation in Rappahannock County. Subsidized in part by mon- - - ies from the Urban Mass Transit Administration, the Center offers a limited number of seats on its Rappahannock-Fauquier route for a minimal fare. Leaving Sperryville at 6:30 a.m. every Monday through Friday, the Center’s 14-passenger van arrives at Washington by 7:00 a.m. and continues on into downtown Warrenton, arriving by 7:30 a.m. In' the afternoon, it reverses this route, leaving Warrenton by 5:00 p.m., arriving in Washington at 5:30 p.m. and continuing to Sperryville, arriving at 6:00 p.m. The round-trip fare is $2.00/day, although, for regular riders, a frequent-user ticket booklet is available. This reduces the cost to halfprice. Half Marathon Registration is now open for the 8th Annual Anheuser-Busch Colonial Half Marathon, scheduled Sim- ' day, February 23, 1986, in Williamsburg. About 1,500 runners are expected to compete in the 13.1 mile race, which benefits the athletic department of William and Mary College. Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female finishers as well as winners in nine age categories. Entry forms may be requested by writing to Jim Johnson, P.O. Drawer U, Williamsburg, VA 23187 or by calling 804/253-3831. Forms are also available at selected area running and sporting goods stores. The registration fee is $8 until February 12 and $10 after that date. The course begins on the college campus, then loops outside Williamsburg along the scenic James River via Colonial Parkway. Runners will return through residential Williamsburg to the college campus, where the finish line and awards ceremony will be inside William and Mary Hall. The half-marathon is sponsored annually by Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Last year, the event drew 1,200 competition and raised $7,000 for William and Mary College track scholarships. Keservations for this van, geared toward the regular commuter, must be made no later than noon of the business day prior to the ride day. Information is available at 347-0400 (Culpeper) or 347-2797 (Warrenton).

Published by the ^Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. Thursday, Januaiy 9,1986 Editorial Welcome On Saturday Virginians will have a new Governor, Lieutenant-Governor and Attorney General. Gerald L. Baliles, L. Douglas Wilder, and Mary Sue Terry, overwhelmingly elected to their new jobs by Rappahannock citizens, are indeed an historic slate — this ticket includes the first black since Reconstruction and the first woman ever elected to state office. The strong, decisive leadership of the Robb administration helped, of course, propel these candidates into office. But they are their own people — each had excellent records of public service that demonstrated strong leadership potential. We welcome them and urge you to support this new and exciting team in Richmond. wmm Letters to the editor ‘When will it stop?’ To the editor: The purpose of this letter is to . speak out against the proposed Krebser-Martin office building to be constructed next to the clinic on Gay Street. My objection is a simple one — I do not wish to see the quiet, residential character of this town be transformed into a commercial one. Slowly but surely commercial enterprises are spreading throughout the town and my questions to the Town Council and residents are “When will it stop?” How many homes .will eventually be turned into business enterprises? How many green spaces will be built upon? How many of our neighbors wifi find the noise, traffic and congestion unbearable and make the decision to move out of town? Washington’s uniqueness lies in the fact that a quiet village atmosphere exists in which local residents can live in a relatively uncrowded area. With the coming of more and more commercial and business enterprises this atmosphere will undeniably change. I, for one, do not wish to see this happen. The proposed Krebser-Martin office building with all the ensuing traffic and congestion will surely contribute , to this change. I would urge the Town Council to take this into consideration when they make their decision on granting a special use permit for the construction of this office building. ROBIN B. PURNELL Washington Gala dance To the editor: My heartfelt thanks to RAAC and to Diana Bird especially, for the gala holiday dance on December 28 at Oasis Vineyard. While the liveliness and/or decibel level of the music may have dissatisfied a few people, the majority of those who attended danced their socks off! Special thanks to the Mystery Band, including members long-time Rappahannock residents Connie and Jay Sprague, for their wonderful music — I for one was absolutely unable to sit through most of their numbers! I hope they continue to keep a special place in their hearts for their Rappahannock friends. BARBARAJOLLY Washington V Rappahannock heritage . V / * * it - \ m Old church in Huntly. Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner ‘Think in terms of a'pet shop’ To the editor: A woof-woof is often answered with a woof-woof. You stated that the residents near the Scrabble school site will not have to endure the torment of howling hounds if the animal shelter is not placed there. Why did you ever think anyone’s howling hounds would be moved there? Jack Bruce’s hounds will stay put and continue to howl as pennedup hunting dogs often do. The shelter will have only stray “pick-ups” which in 1985 averaged four per week. Many families have three and foul* dogs as pets. Generous donations To the editor: I want to thank all those who made a special Christmas happen to many families in our county this year. The kind editorial in the newspaper started some of our donations — help was given by the schools, the Brownies, Cub Scouts, Tiger Scouts, Girl and Boy Scouts, the churches, local clubs and private citizens. You gave money, canned goods, pretty Christmas stockings filled with candy, extra special beautifully wrapped gifts and some got to play Santa by filling private requests. Thank you all for your generous donations that gave Christmas a special meaning this year for others. While we were occupied with our own families, so many showed they cared and did not forget others. Do you know what the shelter will be like? The dogs will have outside runways opening from their cages. At night they will be enclosed in these cages on the inside of the shelter which will be heated electrically in the winter and cooled by fans in warm weather. Please -DO think in terms of a pet shop rather than in terms of an open kennel of 20 — 60 howling hounds. According to state law the dogs must be held five days and then they may be euthanized. All are not held this long. Some are returned to their owners the same day. This is a COUNTY problem and we are not Fauquier nor even Culpeper. Level-headed, responsible citizens from all over the county should visit the site and surrounding area and help the supervisors makjr a decision. We were told that mpre than $400 had already been invested A special thanks to those who did all the work to put this whole together — Marie Davis, Nancy Freeman, Janice Moffett, Nancy Reeve, Fran Smith and Laurie Turner. A very special thanks to Raymond Johnson, Carson Johnson, John Schultz, Fanning Baumgardner, Eugene Tucker and Robert Ingle — the gracious members of the Lions Club who did more than their share. SYLVIA KREITLER Director, Rappahannock County Department of Social Services Finish every day and be done with it. Tomorrow is a new day. — R.W. Emerson there. ^ The two-acre school site most likely would be enhanced by having the animal shelter. Someone will be working there every day and the place should become much less an eyesore. There are many community-spirited people living in Rappahannock who would probably be glad to serve on a county committee for just such purpose. PAULINE H. BRUCE Washington Thanks for support To the editor: On behalf of the staff and the Board of Directors, the Child Care and Learning Center would like to thank the people who have been so generous in supporting the Center this year. Because of your continued support, the Child Care and Learning Center will be moving into its new facility this spring. The new facility will enable the Center to provide a greater variety of enrichment programs for the community. The donations and volunteer hours which have been given to the Child Care and Learning Center can be repaid in only one way — to meet the needs of the people of Rappahannock County. You have'~made this possible! MARY E. TAUSS JOAN PLATT The Child Care and Learning Center GEORGE BOWLES Virginia guard shaped up $ . On the evening qf Dec. 17, the commonwealth’s top military leadership gathered at the Executive Mansion, in Richmond, for virh^t had been billed as a gala reception to honor outgoing Gov. Charles S. Robb. It was that, all right. But actually the affair, which had been arranged by the governor’s military aides-de-camp, was held primarily to present the surprised Robb with the state’s highest military decoration, the Virginia Distinguished Service Medal. The presentation was authorized by the .Military Board of Virginia which is chaired by retired Lt.‘ Gen. Samuel Wilson. Taking part in the ceremony were Maj. Gen. John G. Castles, the commonwealth’s adjutant general, and Maj. Gen. Albert R. Morris, commander of the newly formed State Guard. The award has a relatively short but highly distinguished history. It was established by the board in 1931 and has been presented to only a handful of honorees. Among those receiving it have been Gen. John J.

Robb made the-——-— ———Virginia guard shape up (Continued from Page 4) Perching, Gen. George C. Marshall ttnd Lt. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow, commander of the 29th Division, of which the Virginia National Guard was a part during the early days of World War II. Also on the roster of recipients are Miy. Gen. Charles H. Gerhardt, who commanded the 29th during the war in the European Theater of Operations, and two Virginia Medal of Honor winners. (The Virginia Army National Guard is still a part of the reborn 29th Division.) During the past 20 years the decoration has been awarded only eight times and only twice to civilians. The governor’s interest in the military state of the commonwealth £ame naturally. As a Marine veteran of 10 years service, including a tour of combat duty in Vietnam, he had a first-hand knowledge of what an effective miliary organization should look like. Unfortunately, his first official look at the armed forces of commonwealth was anything but encouraging. It happened during his inauguration in 1982. As the guard units swung past the reviewing stand, he quickly took note of a clear lack of personal and organizational discir pline in the ranks. In a word, some of the units and men looked, downright scurry. “We’re going to do something about this!” he was heard to mutter. Robb quickly found that things were even worse than he had thought. The Virginia guard ranked 36th in the nation and was on a precipitous downward slide. Before the situation could be turned around, its rating tumbled to 50th. Virginia was saved from being in the cellar only by the even sorrier performances of the. guard units from Guam and Alaska. The goverrtbr first appointed Wilson to head the state’s Military Board. Then he named Castles as Virginia’s nepr adjutant general and commanderof the guard. And finally Robb himself took an active personal role in seeing that his goals were being carried out. He fully backed Castles as the latter, in Wilson’s words, “set about the controversial task of moving peopel around — some up, some down and some out!” Thus the long struggle back began. “I followed the governor around in the field during training exercises,” said Wilson at the presentation ceremony. “I observed him as J_ he climeed down into the foxholes with the troops, checked the fields of fire of machine gun positions and got into the chow line with his mess kit.” Slowly the renewed gubernatorial attention to the guard’s effectiveness began to pay off, and the improved morale, training and professional proficiency sent the Virginia units’ stock soaring. Within months Virginia had risen from No. 50 in the order of states to the No. 1 position. For a year and a half it has been engaged in a tough competition with the West Virginia Guard for the top spot. Most of the time Virginia has held it. It is for this achievement that Robb received the unexpected decoration. But the award aside, the governor says he is proudest of the guard’s progress. He is now satisfied that both ground and air units have the ability to carry out their assigned tasks with effectiveness and professionalism. And although parades are only a miniscule part of the new guard’s mission, Robb expects no repetition of the inaugural performance of four years ago. ^ “Wait until you seq^hem marching at Jerry Baliles’ inauguration!” he said with a confident grin.

Their eligibility letters told them to look for a place to rent and if they could not find one to call the housing office. Thus far, only a very few have called in. “We’re concerned because We haven’t heard from these people,” Freeman said. “The sooner we hear something, the sooner some type of housing can be provided.” “All they have to do is call the Hotline (1-800-468-7799), and let us know what their needs are,” he said.

Virgiiiia herbs—basis of holistic approach to medicine By STELLA DEAN RICHARDS Rappahannock New* Staff Writer j Flint Hill’s Kathleen Maier is a Physician’s Assistant, herbalist and natural health care practitioner. And that’s not all. She worked with the Peace Corps in Chile for a couple of years and, on returning to the United States, helped set up the FLOC (For Love of Children) Wilderness School for girls in Strasburg. She graduated on the Dean’s list from Hahnemann Medical College in 1985. It was her experience in Chile that led to her current interest in herbology. Her own background had been more traditionally oriented (she holds a BS in chemistry from the University of Scranton), so the exposure to herbs was new. “The whole time I was in Chile, I was always treated with herbs — no pills,” Kathleen said. “I realized their medicine was of value to me.” During the past year, Kathleen has been working at La Dama Maya herb farm in Luray. She explored some of her thoughts and opinions about healing in a recent interview. Kathleen began the interview by explaining the role of a Physician’s Assistant. “A Physician’s Assistant is trained to function as an extension of a physician, but always under a physician’s supervision,” she said. “We take histories and physicals, diagnose common disorders and we have prescriptive rights.” “We do rotations and residencies with medical students and that was wonderful because you are in a learning environment continually. Working with physicians, I gained an enormous respect for the great depth of knowledge that they have in biochemistry, physiology and the. body’s mechanisms. That type of knowlege is* primarily why I chose this course of study. ” Kathleen went on to explain what the connection was for her between traditional Western medicine and herbology. “I always wanted to know how and why an herb worked — how and why this pressure point worked. I wanted to be able to explain to someone not only the scientific reasons why a practice is aiding the healing process, but also sharg with that person how beautifully the body’s systems work in coiyunction with nature. I enjoy the aesthetics of medicine.” ‘To me, an ideal would be a coexistence of all forms of medicine. To illustrate, the Chinese, in their writing of the word ‘crisis’ have both a symbol for danger and a symbol for change.” Kathleen believes that each school of medical knowledge has its proper place. “Modem medicine is so well advanced that trauma, accidents or other threatening crises in our lives are able to be stabilized. In the emergency room they can stop hemorrhaging and balance important fluids. They can basically maintain life functions,” she continued.

This is where the Chinese figure for change completes the crisis.” The use of prescriptive drugs is one area where modem medicine and herbology tend to differ. “Chronic use of drugs debilitates our systems,” she said. “For example, while I was interning at a family practice, I would find myself prescribing drugs to offset the side-effects of other drugs. Antibiotics — obviously valuable tools — can deplete vitamin C, change our normal intestinal flora and, with repeated use, can cause Candida or yeast infections.” “Another example is me use of anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Motrin and similar over-the-counter preparations. Most people taking these are aware of the possibility of stomach upset’and would then turn to such drugs as Mylanta or Maalox. Not only are these untoward side-effects distressing to the patient, but more importantly, they suppress our own body’s defense systems.” According to Kathleen, a healthy body can produce substances that may be similar to these manufactured drugs. “Inflammation is an important part of the healing process,” she said. “Through acupressure and other techniques we can stimulate our adrenals to produce our own natural pain-killer, corfisone. If anyone has been debilitated with bursitis, tendonitis or severe osteo-arthritis and they have received a cortisone injection, they are very aware of the amazing relief from pain.” “Science has taken our body’s chemistry and in some instances has merely duplicated what our bodies would do for themselves. Again, in severe crises, or inordinate amounts of pain, there is a place for this type of medicine. But with injury or disease, our body’s immune system, endocrine system, as well as all systems, begin immediately to repair the damage.” “When we have an injection or take a pill, in essence we tell our bodies to sit back, relax — I am going to do it for you. If this happens repeatedly our bodies lose the capability to perform as they should.” Kathleen pointed out that illness may also be our body’s way of telling us that we need to rest or slow down. “Minor illnesses, diseases —even accidents — taken in the proper perspective are time for instruction for what we need to do,” said Kathleen. “There was a fascinating study done by a public health association. They interviewed a number of hospital patients, asking them a variety of questions concerning their health and reasons for their hospitalization. In examining the responses to the survey, the association happened to notice that around 65 percent of the questioned patients had not taken a vacation for a long period of time. ” • “Sickness is sometimes the only The 50 Rancher.

Kathleen explained, “One of the most magnificent systems is our immune system. Each component has very specific roles. For example, we have white blood cells called T-cell lymphocytes. These cells have a memory and every foreign antigen that has ever been introduced to our bodies can be recognized and responded to via this mechanism. ” “Toxins of any form need to be removed from the body and much of this work is done by the lymphs, which are part of the immune system. People are painfully aware that a sore throat or cold will also bring enlarged tonsils or throat glands. This is merely an accumulation of lymph or infectious material that is trying to be driven from the body.” “That’s why we have a runn^ nose — our body wants to get rid of the infection. That’s also why we have a fever — our body wants to get rid of the infection. Drugs don’t cure: they merely alleviate the symptoms.” “Many of the positive changes that people are making are greatly enhancing their immune or defense systems. For example, jogging or aerobics pumps your lymph and helps cleanse your system by increasing the flow of lymph.” “Today, AIDS and cancer are producing great fear, as well as confusion as to the best treatment,” Kathleen responded. “Interestingly, r the immune system plays a key role in these processes. These are obviously serious diseases.” “Anyone who has experienced chemotherapy personally or with a loved one is aware of the side-ef- ’ fects,” Kathleen said. “I remember once fixing an intravenous preparation for a woman with ovarian cancer and being strongly warned about the need to use heavy latex gloves. It was hard for me to comprehend how something that would harm my skin could 6? beneficial once placed directly in a person’s bloodstream.” However, Kathleen is always quick to emphasize that the benefits of modern medicine can be tremendous. “There are countless people who have been helped and are functioning beautifully through the use of chemotherapeutics. For that we are all grateful. But the expense, be it financial, emotional or spiritual, is often great.” “I think the fear we have from AIDS is similar at times to the fear we have when we ourselves are sick: we immediately think the worst. Is that lump a tumor? Is that chest pain a heart attack?” “When we are sick, if we stop and listen to what our bodies, who are our closest friends, are trying to say to us, many problems can be simplified. I am not saying the same for AIDS, but I feel that if we — as a society — listen to what the earth as well as society itself is saying — we\ can gain a better sense of control.” If the bod/ can produce its own STROKE HOTLINE Worried / about stroke? 295-9557 ' In Charlottesville or 1/800/468-3335 A service of the Stroke Center, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA MEDICAL CENTER fighters against disease, why turn to herbs? “I briefly mentioned our own defense system and there are many other fascinating mechanisms at work constantly to maintain our body’s balance,” Kathleen said. “At times, though, we need outside help.” “Several drugs on the market today are synthetic reproductions of many-of the plants we have right here in Rappahannock. For example, the popular heart medicine Digitalis or Lanoxin is from foxglove. Tljjs drug has an inotrophic effect, i.e. it greatly strengthens the contraction of the heart muscle, which is an obvious benefit to some. At the same time, the drug as well as the herb can be quite toxic.” “Researchers have found that lily of the valley produces similar effects, but with less toxicity.” “The Chinese,” continued Kathleen, “were on to Sudafed in 5J,000 B.C. Th'e plant ephedra dries mucous membranes without the ill effects on the nervous system.” Kathleen cited a few more examples of herbs whose properties have been copied in synthetic drugs. “That pesty yellow critter1 we’re trying to rid our lawns of — dandelion — has been highly reputable among herbalists for centuries. The early colonists cultivated dandelion as a foodstuff and medicine. It is a potent diuretic, but as anyone taking a strong diuretic knoft^-with the kidney releasing so much water, the mineral potassium is often depleted. Dandelion is a valuable natural source of potassium.” “As with so many other herbs, this is a perfect example of how the natural medicine keeps the system balanced.” “Common mullein, which people can recognize along the roadside as a two-to-three foot tall spiked plant with yellow flowers at the tip in the springtime, was greatly used by the Indians for bronchial disorders. The broad leaves at the base, which resemble soft lambs’ ears, were rolled and smoked. They found this broke up a lot of the mucous congestion.” “Yarrow, whose Latin name is Achillea Millefolium, is so-called because of the ‘thousand leaf appearance but also because Achilles is said . to have used the herb as a poultice in . treating his soldiers’ wounds.” “Not only do these local wildflowers and herbs provide us with valuable nutrients, but the beautiful histories embellish one’s studies of herbs.” “There is a conscious effort today to demystify the use of such plants. At the same time, I feel it is important to keep the magical qualities so as not to lose the language of the plants in scientific analysis.” Kathleen cautions that herbs, like any drug, must be treated with respect. “When I speak of these herbs and illustrate their uses I am not prescribing them for any individual. All of this knowledge is readily available and obviously becoming of greater interest as seen by the influx of holistic health books.” “One caveat, however, is that anything we ingest or employ — be it herbs, foods, drugs or even exercise — should be coordinated with the help of a skilled practitioner.” Kathleen proceeded to discuss her work at the herb farm. “Our work at the farm has been very encouraging. The owners, Maureen Messick and Lee" McWhorter, have been awarded a contract to grow two tons of wormwood (Artemesia), which the government is using in conjunction with private industries for an improved treatment of malaria.” “Interestingly enough, the researchers’ data was primarily extracted from ancient Chinese writings dating from around 2,000 B.C.” ‘While we. hear health analysts and planners speak of cost efficiency and proper utilization of resources, slowly the light bulb is turning on and more are seeing that not only does natural mean simpler, but also cheaper. People are becoming more responsible, more curious and more excited about the changes that are happening in ‘alternative’ health practices.” How does it happen that Kathleen, who has lived in Ireland as well as Chile, has chosen Rappahannock for her home? “I was drawn here primarily by the mountains, but also by the really spirited local community,” Kathleen said. “There are so many individuals here who are strong and welcoming.’ AUCTION SATURDAY, JAN. 11th, 10:00 A.M.

*The best of country is in the country’ STUFFED (^AT REPOSES on bed in Heritage House. (Continued from Page 1) with contrasting trim. Nan explains that she will simply change the trim to coordinate with the next quilt. The Thomasson’s are also buying the old ice house next door which was a former farmers coop. Nan plans to use that building to conduct craft workshops. A six-week quilt making course is currently being developed for spring. Nearby is another outbuilding that Jim will use to restore all of the furniture that goes into Heritage House and their store. Eventually, however, the’couple plans to turn the downstairs of the home into the shop. There are some very practical reasons for doing this — one of them is that they now have a room which they plan to use for their catalogue sales division. Preventing chimney fires A major problem with wood burning is possible buildup of creosote and soot in the stove pipe and chimney. On new or clean-burning stoves, a tap on the stove pipe with your index finger will result in a “ting” sound. When that changes to a muffled “thud” there is probably a substantial amount of creosote buildup in the pipe and chimney. This may result in a dangerous chimney fire unless cleaned. If you intend to bum wood continuously, some time will probably be necessary each year for “house cleaning” or chimney maintenance. Chemical chimney cleaners are not particularly effective in removing heavy deposits and should be used with caution. However, as preventive measure they may have a place. A more effective approach may be to seal the front of the fireplace to keep soot and dirt out of the room and use one of the mechanical methods of cleaning. A rope may be used to lower and raise tire chains inside the flue or a weighed burlap sack filled with straw or chicken wire may be pulled up and down the chimney flue. Another method of cleaning the chimney is to work a small evergreen down the chimney. When the tree is pulled back up, some of the creosote and soot will be dislodged. Commercially-available flue cleaning brushes are available. When cleaning the chimney be careful not to knock out mortar joints or damage the flue lining. If cleaning the chimney sounds like a messy job, you will be particularly well advised to follow preventive maintenance procedures. When possible, burn only well-seasoned hardwood which has been dried at least 6 months. Seasoned wood produces less creosote and as shown in Table 1, provides an average of 20 to 25 . percent more useable heat. Softwoods, such as pines, spruces, cedars and firs have a high resin content which can cause heavy creosote buildup. These woods should be avoided when possible except for kindling or perhaps, an occasional aromatic fuel. Do not bum green wood since it also can create creosote problems. Green wood is easily spotted; it is heavier and looks different from the seasoned material. Seasoned wood usually has cracks radiating outward from the center forward to the bark while green wood normally has no crack pattern. Chimney fires are usually started by roaring blazes which send a mass of burning materials up the flue. Burning of paper, twigs or other light material may also trigger a chimney fire. If, in spite of good housekeeping and precautionary measures, you should have a chimney fires, call the fire department! In such cases, an airtight stove is an advantage since the fire/may be controlled by closing the damper on the stove to reduce oxygen supply. In order for this to work, the damper must be solid and stove pipe connections must be tight. A sound chimney with no other stove pipe connections is also needed in this case, which is one reason why one stove connection per flue is wise. The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) recommends that, while awaiting arrival of fire fighters, a chimney fire may be controlled by dumping large quantities of rock salt or baking soda into the fire chamber of the stove. Do not put water in a woodbuming stove or into the chimney itself because of the hazard of steam explosion, or the possibility of cracking the stove firebox or chimney flueliner.

Photo courtesy Natalie Butler RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY HIGH School reading lab students took part in “December is Reading Month” by participating in a “newspaper race” against 8th grade students at Culpeper County Junior High School on December 12. After being warmly welcomed by Mrs. Joan Bloomer, Principal of CCJHS, the students read Thursday’s newspaper for 15 minutes. After careful reading, the students were asked to answer comprehension questions composed by teachere of both teams — Mrs. Jess Ann McCay of Culpeper and Mrs. Deb Mills of Rappahannock. The questions were asked by Mr. John Brooks, the elementary supervisor. The Rappahannock team won after answering a tie-breaking question. Final score was Rappahannock 10 and Culpeper 8. Winning team members (1-r, front row)Bill Atkins, Joe Slaughter, Charles Slaughter, Herbert Shanks (1-r, back row)Irvin Freeman, Sherri Wines, John Grigsby, and Romero Cook.

This test, the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Board, is also the qualifying test for the National Merit scholarship awards and honors. The highest achievers on the test will be designated National Merit Semi-Finalists in 1986. Bennett scored a perfect 800 on each of the two sections of the test, the Verbal and Math, for a total score of 1600 and a maximum selec tion index of 240. Bennett is the only student in the nation this year to achieve a perfect PSAT score. When informed of his scores, young Bennett showed no great surprise. He said that after the test he felt pretty certain that he had gotten all of the questions right. Last year when he took the PSAT for practice, he scored 770 on both Verbal and Math, for a combined total of 1540. A student a* Wakefield since Grade 8, Bennett says that he plans to attend an Ivy League College, possibly MIT, after graduation.

Anyone wanting to help with improving reading skills is urged to take advan- ‘ tage of this free opportunity. Trained tutors are available on a private, no cost, one to one basis to work with a client to meet whatever goal the client is seeking. Clients will be matched to a tutor for individual weekly sessions at a time and place convenient to the client. This program is being offered by The Child Care and Learning Center in cooperation with the Rappahannock Library and the Literacy Volunteers of America. To sign up for a tutor or to get more information about the program, call The Learning Center in Washington. The telephone number is 675-3237. Five local volunteers have completed the tutor training session given by LVA in Warrenton in December. They are Penny Grant and Libby Whetzel, of Washington, Holly May from Sperryville, Marion Simpson in Slate Mills and Margaret Ulf in Amissville. In addition, Margaret Gottlieb from Boston has qualified as a reading tutor.

Day realtor , THE ESCAPE CLAUSE Often buyers will make their offer to purchase subject to certain contingencies. Normally these are not major problems — such as: contingent upon an engineering inspection which can take place within a few days or a stipulation that financing can be obtained which is understahdable. The one to think about is the sale contingent upon the buyer sell- - ing his present property. Some buyers will outright reject such a contingency because they would now have two houses to worry , about selling rather than one. If you do accept such a contingent offer, it would probably be wise ; to have your attorney insert an escape clause. This provision allows you to continue showing your home. If you receive another offer that you want to accept, you notify the first buyer that they must remove their contingency or withdraw. Either they agree to buy your home by the specified date come what may, or else they must void the contract and drop . - out of the picture, allowing you to ” sell to your new purchaser.

I loved you, but God loved you best, Took you up there to give you rest. No one but Jesus knows the heartaches I bear, All because our lives together, we cannot share. As for me, a better husband couldn't be found, You were the best that walked the ground. We must not question the will of our Lord, For again soon, we'll be in sweet accord. No, It might not be long before we meet, Gathered in Heaven around Jesus’feet. So I’ll travel on and serve Him my best, For I want to meet you in that land of rest. No more separations on that shore, For we will be with Jesus forever more. Devoted wife, Marie WE WOULD LIKE to express our sincere appreciation to the doctors and nurses at Fauquier Hospital, Rev.

Mr. Halley’s comet This year’s appearance of Halley’s Comet has captured enormous ^ public interest and prompted many people to search their closets for binoculars to use in comet watching. . Halley’s comet is popular because “it is one of the few comets that has so many (29) recorded sightings,” and because of its historical nature, said Henry Leap, James Madison University (JMU) physics instructor. Other bright comets are visible in the sky each year but fail to attract the attention of the general population. “Many of these bright comets have not come into view before in recorded history,” said JMU associate professor of physics, Dr. William Ingham. In 1682, Edmund Halley determined that a comet which appeared that year and others recorded previously in 1456,1531, and 1607 were one in the same. He surmised that comets orbit the sun just as planets do, but in paths that form very elongated ellipses. Because of the shape of these orbital paths, comets are most often traveling far from the sun, Ingham noted. Halley predicted the comet’s return 75 years later, which did occur in 1758,17 years after his death. When the comet passes the sun, the dust and ionized gas from the coma are swept out from the sun by sunlight and solar wind. This action forifll long tails, which are measured in millions of miles, but have extremely low densities. With each solar passage, a comet loses some of its material, Leap noted. After thousands of passages, all of the ice of Halley’s nucleus will be consumed. The 1985-86 viewing of Halley’s comet “won’t be as spectacular as other comets which will be seen in our lifetime,” Leap said. A comet is most easily seen when it is closest to the sun, at which time it has the brightest and longest tail. Halley’s closet approach to the sun will take place on the opposite side of the sun from the Earth, so the tail is pointed away, and viewing is blocked by the sun. When the comet is closest to the earth (39 million miles), it will appear low in the southern sky, making a good view of the southern horizon necessary for observing the comet. “We are living in the wrong century and the wrong hemisphere Ingham remarked. The last appearance of Halley’s comet produced a “better than average opportunity” for observation, he said. The comet was brighter in 1910 than in 1985-86 because it passed 24 million miles closer to the earth. The apparent motion of the comet among the stars is approximately two degrees per day, decreasing as the comet becomes lower in the sky. Leap said this daily angular motion will increase again in the spring. Actual comet speed ranges from 120,000 mph to 200,000 mph. Optimum conditions of observation are dark, remote areas on clear nights. Leap said Shenandoah Valley residents may obtain better views at higher altitudes because Valley smoke and haze magnified by lights impedes viewing. This spring, Halley’s comet is south among the stars, making it difficult to see, Leap said. He also noted that the moon can Interfere with viewing the comet. He also recommends using binoculars - 7 x 50 mm or 10 x 50 mm -to look at the comet. “You don’t need high magnification, but gathering light is important.” Buying a telescope isn’t necessary, he said, but if an individual already owns a low power telescope, it can be used. Leap said the comet is important to study because of its common origins with the rest of the solar system, and Ingham noted that this year three previously unanticipated comets have been discovered by people watching for Comet Halley. Both agree that observing Halley’s comet in 1985-86 will be their only opportunity to do so - it won’t reappear until approximately the year 2060. To locate Halley’s comet through the end of January, find it in relationship to one of three constellations - Pisces, Pegasus or Aquarius. Between twilight and 10 p.m., face a southerly direction, find the constellation in the sky and use binoculars to look for the comet where it appears in relation to the constellation. Be Resourceful. , Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT HALLEYS COMETM FIRST APPEARANCE IN 75 YEARS Halley’s hype By JOHN CADWALADER, JR. RaHWhannack New* Contributing Writer I’m beginning to wonder who the impresario was who got us all stirred up over Halley’s comet. Rather likely, it^pas the ad man for the Japanese optical industry. I, for one, fell for the ploy — hook, line and sinker and bought an appropriate telescope, thinking to take full advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — to see the comet that is. In the box with' the telescope was a colorful chart, showing the path of the comet and an informative booklet to inspire one’s interest. From these and other literature at my disposal, I concluded that mid-December might be a good time to begin my search for this “most spectacular of celestial bodies.” The evening of the 10th was cold, clear and moonless. According to the chart, the., comet, in all its glory, should have been just below the “Great Square of Pegasus” close to or within the constellation, Pisces. It was there alright, but it took me a good half hour or more to find it. The telescope proved useless for that task, due to its limited field of view — even at 30 power. The instrument best suited to finding the comet proved to be an ordinary 7x50 binocular. That night of December 10 was perfect for viewing Halley’s. The comet could be seen as a pinpoint of light with a fussy glow of light (the tail) trailing off for a very short relative distance to its left (eastward). Having found the comet with the binocular, I was determined to get some return on the investment in the telescope, and after a great deal of effort I was able to get the instrument properly directed. But, what a disappointment! The telescope failed to make even the slightest improvement in what could be seen of this most pathetic of heavenly displays. Nevertheless, I was extremely pleased to have found this comet which had last appeared in the year of my father’s birth. I gazed at it for a while through the binocular; then telephoned a friend and drove over to show it to her. We agreed that what we were looking at had benefitted heavily from late 20th century, Madison Avenue hype — that the delivered product failed miserably to live up to its promoters’ claims. And now, a month later, the view is no better than before. The telescope remains in the closet and I take a desultory peek at Halley’s on occasion through the binocular. A rare spectacle it is, certainly, but, somehow, the urge was not great to cry “Eureka!” AO'-yJ&BLE/W NUGGETS OF TRUTH By PASTOR ROBERT DUNPHY Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. GREETINGS TO EVERYMAN, WOMAN & CHILD I speak to all young people, as well as Moms & Dads, Grandmas & Grandpas. God sent me to this place to minister to all of His creation, tf you are a church member and you have not openly confessed Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you are not saved. Going to church or being a member or getting baptized will not save you. Read and do Romans 10:9 & 10. Then tell somebody. Call me, if you would like or if you feel you need help in doing this .... Let's talk about love. If you want to walk with God, you must love everyone. Luke 10:27. If you love someone, you don't talk bad about them. You don’t steal from them or covet their wife or home, or anything of theirs. If you love someone, you forgive them of any wrong doing. Jesus said in many places in the Bible, “You must forgive if you want to be forgiven.” Just simply pray for those who do you wrong. In Matt. 5:44, Jesus said, But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you". I have had people tell me, “Oh, yes, I love Jesus, I want tp do rights but I can't forget." If you can’t forget, you have not forgiven, so God can’t forgive you or bless you. There are three kinds of love. (1) Emotional or sexual love, (2) Brotherly love, or the way you love your mother, (3) Godly love. That’s the only kind of love that lasts or really amounts to anything. If you would like a free book on How to Love or What Love Is, please write me or call. I will be happy to send ittoyou.

EARL YANCEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer $ew rules go into effect January 1, 1986, concerning the recordkeeping required for the business use of automobiles, computers, airplanes, boats, etc. All the publicity about the easing of the rules should not lead you to think that you do not have to keep records. The fact is that the new rules are very much like the 1984 Tax Act rules, with the exception that your recordkeeping no longer has to be done “contemporaneously;” that is, as the usage occurs. You are still required to keep “adequate records” or “sufficient evidence” to substantiate any deductions or credits that you take for the business use of equipment. For automobiles you must keep a record of the date, the distance, the destination and the business purpose of Spenyville Realty • SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM * Sperryville, Virginia 22740 (703) 987-8088 - Office Old Hollow, on approximately 1 acre, 3 bedrooms, large living room, full bath, eat in kitchen, utility room. $39,000.

Though daily recordkeeping is no longer necessary, the law makes it clear that logbook entries made at or near the time of the trip will still be the best documentation should there be any challenge to your deductions. Receipts, cancelled checks and other documentary evidence may also be used to support deductions. The “sampling method” can be used in some circumstances. You keep thorough records for a portion of the year and demonstrate that this portion of the year accurately reflects the usage during the rest of the year. Where employers provide a vehicle to employees for business use, no logs have to be maintained if certain conditions are met. Check with your accountant for details.
