According to a criminal complaint filed in Rappahannock General District Court, the former Rappahannock County sheriff and his wife were arrested on January 11 for allegedly abducting Page County Commonwealth Attorney John T. Hennessy, his wife Janet Hennessy, and Tammy Good who is a credit officer with the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Stanley. According to the complaint, the three arrived to repossess a truck on which payment was allegedly in default. The Rappahannock County School Board decided at an executive session January 23 to continue with their earlier decision to suspend the school bus drivers. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins will remain on full pay until the court can determine whether or not they are guilty of abduction, as charged on January 11. Concerning the School Board decision, School Superintendent Robert Estabrook said, “When the board acts to suspend an employee, part of what is due is a ‘due process of hearing.’ Both of these employees said they wanted due process to express their feelings about the suspension decision of January 13.” Mr. Estabrook said that the board gave the couple the opportunity to speak and ask questions, but that after that part of the meeting, voted to continue with the suspension with full pay until the charges brought against them are adjudi Bills affecting Rappahannock before Assembly By DAVID CHUSE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A number of bills now under consideration by the Virginia General Assembly may well affect the undeveloped open space and scenic vistas considered by many to be the basis of Rappahannock’s economy — agriculture, forest, tourism, and housing for new converts to the advantages of the rural lifestyle found in the county. In addition, a local conservation group has generated a legislative proposal to make state utilities more responsible to citizens affected by bids for new powerline construction. At least three bills now pending in Richmond could have strong impact on land use practices in Rappahannock and surrounding areas. House Bill 630 would expand the state’s conservation easement program, by authorizing non-profit, charitable organizations to accept the easements, in addition to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, which is currently set up to do so. Depending on possible amendments now under discussion, this measure could possibly encourage a more widespread and creative use of conservation easements. There are currently about 3000 acres under easement in Rappahannock. Conservation easements are a way for landowners to voluntarily protect, in perpetuity, the existing nature of the property. By voluntarily relinquishing certain ownership rights, such as subdivision, timber sales, or whatever may be specified, an easement for preservation of wildlife, open space, forests, clean water, and scenic and recreational values may be attached to cated in court. “If we had taken action, it would have amounted to a judgment,” said Mr. Estabrook. County shows little growth Washington drops 6.9% between 1980-’84 By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County grew by just 0.1% between 1980 and 1984. Washington, the county seat, showed a population decline of - 6.9%. The statistics come from the recently released 1985 Data Summary published by the RappahannockRapidan Planning Commission. The 1984 provisional estimate of Rappahannock’s population was 6,100 people — up by just seven people from 1980. Washington was the only town in the study to lose population; according to the estimate 230 people resided in the town in 1984 while 247 people resided in the town in 1980. The commission has released its statistics for Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange Counties with statistics relating to agriculture, bank deposits, consumer price index, crime rates, employment, housing, income, local revenues, population, retail sales, schools and housing. According to the data, Fauquier County had the greatest population increase in the five-county area with a growth rate of 9.5%. Orange County came in a distant second with an increase of 4.6%. The town of Warrenton had the biggest in crease in population, growing by a rate of 16.5% between 1980 and 1984. Rappahannock County had the highest per capita personal income increase in the group, showing a 31% gain between 1980 and 1983. Madison County came in a close second with a 30.4% increase. Culpeper showed the slowest growth with an increase of 23%. The number of school children attending schools dropped in each of the five counties between 1980-81 and 1983-84. Average teacher salaries increased significantly in every county. In Rappahannock the average salary was $15,037 for the 198384 school year. In 1979-80 the average salary was $10,866 in the county. Rappahannock is the lowest paying county in the study; Fauquier teachers are the highest paid earning an average of $17,837 annually. In Rappahannock County, there were 49 crimes in 1984 which represents a significant decrease from the 103 crimes reported in 1980. Again, Fauquier led the group have 689 crimes in 1984. This county has an unemplyment rate of 4.9% accrording to the June 1985 labor force statistics. Fauquier County had the lowest rate with just 3.5% while Orange County had the highest unemplyment with 6.9%. Out of a total labor force of 2,679 ' persons, Rappahannock had 132 peo, pie out of work. In this county most of the work force is emplyed in manufacturing (329 persons) and in service related employment (386 persons). 83 persons were employed in constuction, according to the 1984 statistics, and 134 were employed in wholesale and retail trade. Retail sales have climbed steadily from $6.8 million in 1980 to $8.8 million in 1984. Food led the way in terms of sales accounting for $4 million in sales during 1984. In 1982 Rappahannock had 313 farms which is the fewest number in the group. Fauquier led with 973 farms. Rappahannock County was the only county in the group to have a lower average daily count. In 1980, 4,555 vehicles traveled between Sperryville and Washington on Rt. 522/211; in 1984 the number dropped to 4,300 vehicles. The summary is, compiled annually by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission. •' ?<*“,j.« Personal income Housing units “" : : Vital statistics 1981-84 ' Crime totals School membership Average teacher salaries Bank deposits Retail sales Labor force June 1985 -'£'n 'j* \ ** * W,>* -:....' .*•?*«> "6j098/t9W>; $7,570/1980 2,024/1970 292 births 103/1980 1,135/1980-81 $10,866/1979-80 $11.4 million/1980 $6.8 million/1980 2,679 total $9,915/1983 2,704/1980 252 deaths ! 49/1984 999/1984-85 $15,037/1984-85 $14.4 million/1984 $8.8 milllon/1984 132 unemployed the title of the property, to be passed on tp future owners.

Senate Bill 5, which was defeated in a slightly different form last year, deals with mobile homes in rural r tem whereby a farmer may sell development “rights” to a developer, who could then use them to obtain increased development density in another designated area of the county. This is designed to give aid to the farmer and help steer development to urban and town areas, while preserving farmlands. Such a ing property to do so. The “bottle bill,” which would have established a five-cent minimum deposit on all beverage containers sold in Virginia, has once again suffered defeat at the hands of the Senate Commission on Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources. A hearing on Monday was Rappahannock perspective areas. This measure proposes that local zoning ordinances not be allowed to keep double-wide mobile homes out of areas zoned agricultural. Such restrictions are currently operating in Rappahannock and many other counties. Proponents believe that it is unfair to restrict a source of safe and inexpensive housing so that it is not available to people in rural areas. Rappahannock’s Senator, Kevin G. Miller, recently said<that he thinks Rappahannock and other counties have gone “too far” with such zoning practices. Opponents of the bill feel that the state should not set a precedent of removing local zoning authority; that this would contradict respect for the principle of local government. Urban areas, they point out, would be allowed to continue to locally regulate siting of mobile homes. , Another land use bill would pnable Loudoun County to establish a program of Transferable Development Rights (TRDs). This is a county-based land conservation sys system could be readily applied to Rappahannock and other areas also, as a tool to deal with increasing development pressures. The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) has initiated a bill (Senate Bill 210) with the help of Senator Miller to give citizens an increased role in deciding whether new powerlines should be constructed in a given area. The local conservation group has worked on this issue for years, and is now proposing that the voltage for a power transmission line which must be approved by the state Corporation Commission be changed from 150,000 volts to 100,000 volts. This would bring the 115 kilovolt and 138 kilovolt transmission lines into the process already established for high voltage lines, whereby the affected public can participate in a hearing on the question, and the utility must prove that there is indeed necessity for a new powerline corridor. Such corridors often mean clearcutting a 100-foot swath across the forested hills, at times condemn followed by a 9 - 6 vote, identical to last year’s committee action. The deposit system, in effect in nine other states now, was considered by proponents necessary to end the direct threat of container litter to automobiles, bicycles, pedestrians, and farm animals and machinery, and to relieve the burden on local landfills and solid waste systems. Opponents say it would not have solved the problems as stated; bottle bill supporters have rejoined that they will be back again in Richmond next year.

lHews of Record General District court After lengthy testimony from five witnesses, Rappahannock General District Court Judge William Carson found Greg Hutcheson of Sperryville not guilty of charges of trespassing to hunt, hunting without a license, and hunting without a big game license. Mr. Hutcheson was found guilty of cursive and abusive language directed at Uli Maeyer, who filed the charges against the defendant. It was argued by Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke that Greg Hutcheson had been hunting on Mr. Maeyer’s property and that he shot and gutted a deer on January 4. Mr. Hutcheson’s father owns property near Mr. Maeyer’s land. Trooper William Jenkins testified that he had heard a shot coming from the direction of the Maeyer property on the morning of January 4 and that he had tracked through Mr. Maeyer’s wooded property looking for the hunter. He said he found Mr. Hutcheson on the Maeyer property with a freshly gutted deer and that he was sure the deer had been shot where it was gutted. According to Trooper Jenkins, he then told Mr. Hutcheson that he was trespassing. The trooper, according to testimony, then proceeded to seize the deer. Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke said that even if Mr. Hutcheson had shot the deer from his father’s land, Mr. Hutcheson was still guilty of hunting on Maeyer property, since he had been pursuing the deer into Mr. Maeyer’s woods without permission or a license cheson said that he did not have a hunting license, since a license is not required for hunting on family property. Both Mr. Maeyer and Mr. Hutcheson agreed that when Mr. Hutcheson came to Mr. Maeyer’s home that evening to discuss the matter of the seized deer, Mr. Hutcheson used provocative language. William Payne of Warrenton, lawyer for the defendant, argued that Mr. Hutcheson had been fully aware that he was not supposed to hunt on the Maeyer property and that Trooper Jenkins had been mis taken in asserting that he heard the fatal shot coming from the Maeyer property. He pointed out that Mr. Hutcheson was hunting the morning of January 4 with three of his friends and that shots were being fired over a wide area. In another case, Johnny Taylor was found guilty of petty larceny committed on the night of December 31, 1985. During the court session, the charge of grand larceny was amended to petty larceny and the charge of breaking and entering was “nol prossed,” i.e., dropped. Judge Carson suspended the mandatory jail sentence of 12 months on condition of good behavior during that time and on condition that Mr. Taylor return the stolen goods to the sheriffs office within 30 days, or pay the sheriff the equivalent of their estimated worth of $389. Former Rappahannock County Sheriff John Walker Jenkins, his wife Alice Jenkins and her son William Hale, who were charged with abduction on January 11, will have their case tried on February 25 in General District Court. Other cases decided on Tuesday were: Johnnie T. Taylor, breaking and entering, no prosecution; grand larceny, reduced to petty larceny, pay $389 restitution, $325 cost, 12 months in jail, suspended. William Hale, three counts of use firearm and abduction, continued to February 25,1986. Alice Jenkins, three counts of use firearm and abduction, continued to February 25,1986.

Activists rally in Richmond for tougher DUI legislation By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Both night and the temperature had begun to fall last Wednesday, as a group of parents and teenagers assembled outside the Bell Tower in Richmond’s Capitol Square for a vigil to draw attention to the deaths and injuries caused in Virginia each year by drunken drivers. Some held hand-made signs and flashlights. Others held framed pictures of young faces, the faces of sons, daughters and friends killed by drunken drivers. Inge Schneider didn’t carry a framed picture, but she carries the memory of, her son Chris, who was killed in 1984 on the Route 7 Bypass in Leesburg by a driver who later pleaded guilty to driving drunk. Mrs. Schneider, who lives in Hamilton, made the trip to Richmond with Amy Halbert, who works with her at Heritage Hall Nursing Home in Leesburg, to represent the Shane Williams Committee and the Loudoun County Task Force on ‘Bottle bill’ dies 12 th time By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICHMOND — The “bottle bill” died its yearly death Monday, when the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources killed the measure by a 9-6 vote. It was the 12th time that Sen. Madison E» Marye (D-Montgomery) has watched his proposed legislation die. It has reached the Senate floor only once and was defeated there. The bill would have required returnable, deposit cans and bottles for beer and soft drinks, although it would have made other containers — wine and liquor bottles, milk and juice cartoons — exempt from the deposit requirement. Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-Loudoun), who was on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors when it passed a local bottle bill in the early 1970s (later overruled by the Virginia Supreme Court), voted for the measure, which he said “is probably the most significant bill to deal with roadside litter. ” Senate Minority Leader William A. Truban (RFauquier/Clarke/Warren/Shenandoah) voted against it. He thinks better enforcement of existing litter laws and provision of more trash receptacles along roads would do more to solve the litter problem, without putting an unfair burden on the beverage industry. This year, as always, the measure brought lobbyists swarming into Richmond. The supporters included the Garden Club of Virginia, the Sierra Club and a va. riety of environmentalists and preservationists who ■ _' want the measure passed to reduce litter throughout f the state. / ' Its opponents included all levels of the beverage industry — glass makers, bottlers, distributors and mergB$g&?*$|&SBts tt- who said the bill, unfairly discriminates ^ t against the beer and soft drink industries, even though ' tihear products account for sfrelatively small portion of, •! ‘Utter. ••-1-■ .- •- - - «• They also said the bill would hurt their businesses badly, even force them out of business, by requiring large capital investments for equipment, storage space and people to handle the returnable bottles. The bottle bill festivities began last Thursday, when three shopping carts filled with cans and bottles appeared at the Capitol. The bottles and cans — 600 of them — represented the number of drink containers the average Virginian uses, and throws away, each year. y> Sen. Marye and his supporters staged a press conference Thursday morning to launch their lobbying effort, which actually had begun the day before, when Sen. Marye challenged eight of his opponents on the committee to go to Boston on Saturday, at his expense, to see how the Massachusetts bottle bill has worked. . No one took his offer. Sen. Marye also imported two New Englanders for his cause: Bob Meserve, who runs a family grocery store in Kennebunkport, Me., and Rose Salvatore, who runs Mass Redemptions Inc., a Massachusetts business that picks up, sorts and recyles returnable bottles for retail stores. Mr. Meserve said the sorting of returned bottles and cans'doesn’t cause him problems or require extra staff. He likes the law primarily because it is good for the tourist industry, which is big in Maine. “I eiyoy the benefits of local tourism,” Mr. Meserve said. The debate intensified on Monday, when the committee held a two-hour public hearing that was dominated by sign-waving opponents of the bill, all of them representing some aspect of the beverage bottling and distributing industries. “The group of people there this morning are among: the most powerful lobbyists who will ever descend on the Capitol,” Sen. Waddell said Monday. By the time the committee reassembled for a vote, there was little doubt of the outcome. ‘The result is the same, 9-6, and we knew that weeks ago,” Sen. Waddell said.

Closed Mondays & Tuesdays Route 211, Sperryville, VA 987-8777 Drunken Driving formed by the board of supervisors last year. The rally and vigil was small, but the people there drove from across the state to press their cause before the legislature, which will consider a host of bills this session to combat the problem of drunken driving. The vigil was the same day that the administration of Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, represented by Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, announced its anti-crime proposals, which include measures to make conviction Mobile home bill survives — barely By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICIJMOND — Political gamesmanship continued Tuesday afternoon for a controversial mobile home bill that barely survived in Senate committee for the second straight week. The Senate Committee on Local Government, which almost killed the bill a week earlier, voted to kill it the second time, but then agreed to reconsider the measure so one of its sponsors can submit a substitute motion. The committee will consider the matter again Tuesday, Feb. 4. It voted 7-6 to kill the bill, but Sen. Kevin G. Miller (R-Harrisonburg), who represents Rappahannock and part of Fauquier, convinced one of the measure’s opponents, Sen. John W. Russell (R-Fairfax), to move its reconsideration. “So it’s alive, but I don’t know how well,” Sen. Miller said. The bill, whi<;h died in the Senate Finance Committee last year, would prevent local zoning ordinances from prohibiting “double-wide” mobile homes in agricultural zoning districts. Like some other counties, Fauquier limits the placement of mobile homes. Those limitations would be affected if the legislation were adopted. Sen. Miller said he plans to introduce an amendment to the bill that may make it “more palatable” to committee members by specifying that the' double-wide houses are not mobile homes. Althbugh they fall under that definition, the houses are put on permanent foundations after they are hauled to the house sites. The vote to kill the bill was the second one in a week. The first vote, on Jan. 21, failed, 7-7. It might have escaped from committee then, but Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-Loudoun), who opposed it, successfully challenged a proxy vote cast for Sen. W. Onico Barker (D-Danville), who favored the bill. Sen. Barker was present for the second vote, so the measure could have passed if the votes stayed the same. But they didn’t. Although supporters of the bill persuaded freshman Sen. Benjamin J. Lambert III (DRichmond) to change his vote in favor of it, they lost three others.

The level for “per se” conviction now is .15, but Sen. A. Joe Canada (R-Virginia Beach) and Del. C. Richard Cranwell (D-Vinton) have introduced bills to lower it to . 10, which can lead to conviction, but onlv after trial in court. Canada’s bill will come before the Senate Courts of Justice Committee for public hearing at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. Advocates of stiffer drunken driving laws also want to force drivers involved in accidents to submit to blood tests, make refusal to take the test admissable in court (a measure that appears to be in trouble before the House Courts of Justice Committee), and “administrative” revocation of drivers licenses for those who fail or refuse to take the test. That was the message of Mary Lee Orr, a Blacksburg woman who leads the Virginia Coalition Against Drunken Drivers in southwest Virginia and serves on the Montgomery County Task Force. “No more games of words and politics is what the Virginia Coalition Against Drunken Driving expects from this session of the legislature,” Mrs. Orr told the crowd. “We’re tired of piece-meal legislation,” said Lillian DeVenney, a Virginia Beach woman who leads Virginians Opposed to Drunken Driving, which she founded in 1981. Like Mrs. Schneider, Mrs. DeVenney and Mrs. Orr have lost children to drunken drivers. Mrs. DeVenney will talk about the death of her daughter Carrie, who was killed four years ago, but Mrs. Orr Won’t talk about her daughter’s death. But there was hope at the vigil. Lou Herzog, a Fairfax County man who is president of the Northern Virginia Chapter of Mothers Against Drunken Driving, said, “We’re winning the fight.” His greatest cause for hope is the reaction of young people, who have formed chapters of Students Against Drunken Driving. Mrs. Orr, for example, said that the first SADD meeting at Blacksburg High School drew just 10 people. This year more than 150 people attended. “What we’re trying to say is it’s okay NOT to drink and drive,” said Leigh Brooks, a 17-year-old senior at Lee-Davis High School in Mechanicsville. She is student advisor for its SADD chapter, which she formed when she was a sophomore after seeing a film in drivers education class about a SADD chapter in Winchester. “Too many of my friends were driving home drunk,” she explained. “I wanted to educate them about the dangers.” Sen. Robert E. Russell (RChesterfield), who had cosponsored the bill, voted against it. Sen. A. Joe Canada Jr. (R-Virginia Beach) abstained and Sen. Madison E. Marye (D-Montgomery) was absent. , “Damned if I know,” answered Ron Dunlap, executive director of the Virginia Manufactured Housing Association, when asked what happened. “I had some definite commitments and they didn’t honor their commitments. “We were really surprised. We expected to come out either 9-6 or 10-5 in our favor. ” The bill pitted representatives of the manufactured housing industry against local government officials and their lobbyists, who argued the measure would usurp local zoning power. That also was the opinion of Sen. Waddell, who voted against it both times. He said some minds were changed over the weekend, during a legislative tour of the Richmond area. “They thought they had the votes when they got Lambert,” Sen. Waddell said. “But there are all kinds of cross-currents at work down here.” “I think some people got some pressure from back home from people concerned about the legislature mess-ing in local zoning matters,” said C. Flippo Hicks, a lobbyist for the Virginia Association of Counties. Although both Mr. Dunlap and Mr. Hicks said they did not expect the bill to be revived during this session, that was before Sen. Miller convinced Sen. Russell to move its reconsideration. Sen. Miller said Sen. Russell, who voted twice to kill the bill, asked that it be reconsidered as a favor to Sen. Miller and the committee, “out of courtesy.” The committee agreed by voice vote. Sen. Miller said his amendment will improve the bill by striking any reference to mobile homes and adding a section “that does9away with the fiction that a double-wide, off-site constructed unit of housing is a mobile home.” Sen. Waddell said the move to | FAST EDDIE’S I DACE ONCE AGAIN IN GAINESVILLE WITH H f lU SiAfCCD CRABS OYSTERS SHRIMP CLAMS 11-6 Thurs.-Sat. 937-4038 reconsider isn t unusual. Sometimes a bill’s opponents will move reconsideration immediately after killing it so they can kill it again, for good, because it can be reconsidered only once. But the committee didn’t do that, so the bill remains alive for another fight on Tuesday. “I’m working very hard on a couple of senators who are on the fence on this issue,” Sen. Waddell said.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. ^_J THURSDAY, JANUARY 30,1986 Editorial Good news The statistics released by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission reveal some very good news. Things aren’t changing too much in Rappahannock. That which has changed has, for the most part, been for the better. Take the population. In the five-county study, Rappahannock had the slightest increase in the group. During the 1970’s the county grew quite a bit — in 1970 the population was 5,199 and by 1980 it had jumped to 6,093. That’s about 89 people a year moving into Rappahannock. Since 1980 the situation has been appreciably different. If the 1984 estimate proves to be correct, we’ve had a growth rate of less than two persons a year since the beginning of the decade. The population explosion in neighboring counties such as Fauquier and Madison just isn’t happening here. Please understand that we don’t have anything against people, per se, but with the hordes do come problems. Take a drive on Broadview Avenue in Warrenton and attempt to cross the road. Traffic congestion is the nasty result when too many people invade a community. While our housing situation is not the best, particularly in providing for the poor, we do not have the exorbitant prices found in the other areas. We also don’t have to endure other symbols of growth such as the seemingly endless restaurant chains, the pollution, the noise...ad infinitum. Washington was the only incorporated town in the summary to. actually lose population. The old historic village just might have a«hance of remaining that way. The number of crimes reported was indeed good news. Although they increased slightly in 1983 over the preceding two years, the crimes were less than half of the 1980 total. Still, we will not be content until crime is totally eliminated — a worthwhile goal, we believe. The fact that Rappahannock had the highest per capita personal income increase in the study shows a healthy trend. A jump of 31% in income between 1980 and 1983 is noteworthy by any standard. The study revealed some other good news. Although our teachers are the lowest paid in the five-county summary, the salaries have risen significantly in the past few years. They are also fairly close to the salaries found in neighboring counties. They seem reasonable. We have other figures for which we might crow — our unemployment rate is not bad, our retail sales have risen and there’s more money in the bank. Things aren’t too bad in Rappahannock County — kind of quiet, but we like it that way. Gregory B. Jarvis Ronald E. McNair Ellison S. Onizuka In memoriam Sharon Christa McAuliffe Judith A. Resnik * Francis R. Scobee Michael J. Smith . Remarks of Senator John Warner at the Commemoration of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, Richmond, Virginia, January 16,1986. who wish they could, this day marks yet another recognition of our beloved Commonwealth and its many contributions to the development of our young na» tkm. Today we pay homageto that most renowned of all Virignians — Thomas Jefferson — and his vision in authoring one of the most, if not the most, important statutes in American law. Of course, I am referring to the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, which served as the basis for the First Amendment to the Constitution. For along with the other freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment Of our Constitution — freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom to assemble and the freedom to petition the government — the freedom of religion is one of those principles that — as Jefferson said — “form the bright constellation which has guided our steps through an age of revolution and transformation.” Certainly one of the most rewarding experiences in my life was when I was privileged to serve the people of this great nation in coordinating the role of the ...Jgdersil government in the historic celebration of our nation’s Bicentennial in 1976. During those years; I traveled to every state and 22 foreign countries to encourage the maximum participation in activities recognizing the significance of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. In villages and towns across this great land, I watched our fellow citizens from all walks of life plan |f»d then come together on July 4,1976, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of our^aation’a independence.'? What a day that'fras! ^•* ,, ° And next year — September 17 — we willcele-' brate the bicentennial of another historical achieve- 1 ment that firmly rooted into law what our ancestors had fought and died for—the Constitutional Convention’s adoption of our Constitution. . ' As a Virginian, I have a deep respect for history. As I often say, history is our rear view mirror on the road of life. If one pages through any grade school history book, it becomes immediately evident.that many Virginians of note have traveled down history’s road. ,y. ... We are a state that has produced many trailblazers. After we gained our hard-fought independence from England, the leaders of our developing nation had to define just what the revolution accomplished and equally important, how free people should govern themselves. And it took our nation’s most gifted citizens — citizens like Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Madison, George Mason and others — to articulate the principles upon which we would govern ourselves, V While we may not have had every law in mind during the time between the end of American Revolution and the Constitutional Convention, two principles we did believe in, for sure, were liberty, which encompasses religious freedom, and a representative government. I think—in fact I have no doubt—that we believed also that we had been selected by Proyidence to do great deeds. So, when it came time for our forebears to establish in a national framework of law what they had believed in for so long, it was logical that Virginia’s Constitution would be an excellent reference point. It also was logical that Thomas Jefferson, who had written the nation’s Declaration of Independence at the age of 33, would be a major influence on the Constitution that would eventually be adopted by the Constitutional Convention. Like the fine wines which he so loved, Jefferson’s ideas of what our country should be have aged well. But he will be remembered principally for three things; indeed, they are inscribed on his tombstone; And those three achievements are writing the Dedar' ration of Independence, founding the University of Virginia and writing the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Of course, without freedom, we have nothing, Thomas Jefferson understood the value of freedom and the importance of preserving it. In this age in which we live, when the civil liber» ties and political rights of 42 percent of the world’s population are either limited or completely repressed, the significance of what Jefferson achieved by writing the Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom should be, obvious. Indeed, some historians argue that this statute is without parallel — and I tend’ to agree. Where freedom of relierion is allowed to flourish in a country, so will its people. If there is any doubt, look into the eyes of those Whose freedoms have been * denied. Ask a freedom fighter in Afghanistan what it means to have one’s freedom denied. Ask a black family living in South Africa or a Polish citizen the same question. And ask the wife of a University of Virginia history professor living in the Soviet Union who is finally coming to the United States with her daughter what it’s like to have freedom denied. Yes, Thomas Jefferson understood the importance of freedom and ensuring its inclusion in our Constitution. Our nation’s Constitution represents a remarkable achievement by remarkable people. It’s why our government remains today the oldest continuing form of government in the world. All the governments existing at the time of our nation’s founding have either drastically changed or have ceased to exist. It has proved to be a document that has endured for nearly 200 years in a world that has experienced incalculable change. “It is a good canvas, on which only some strokes only want retouching,” Jefferson observed. Today we; honor what many helieve to be Jefferson’s greatest achievement, the Virginia Statute on Religious Free-' dom. Today, we join together in reaffirming that, most basic freedom which Jefferson willed to us. As trustees of our Constitutional framework of government, let us vow to protect this freedom as dearly as we have for its first 200 years of life. ^ Eugene McCarthy Not such a bad year By EUGENE J. McCARTHY Rappahannock Newa Contributing Writer The annualists, the persons who evaluate years, are giving 1985 rather bad marks, marking it as a year of earthquakes, terrorism, famine, airplane crashes and other natural and man-made catastrophes. I agree with their judgement on the overall picture, but take consolation . in some minor changes. At the beginning of 19851 made a list of ten persons, in some cases, pairs of persons, whose problems and personality difficulties should or would fade from the news. Number one on my list was the case of Mary Cunningham and Bill Agee of the Bendix Corporation, a story of love and ambition in the world of corporate mergers and conglomerates. For better or for worse Mary and Bill have been displaced first by Ted Turner and CBS, and more recently by Penzoil, Getty and Number two on my list was Elizabeth Taylor and her weight problem. Reports of her weight changes in 1984 have become so frequent that I anticipated they might be included in the tv evening news statistical reports along with the Dow Jones averages and the barometric pressure. I have not seen a report on Liz’s weight in at least six months. Third, I expressed hope that there might be no more of Barbara Walter’s special interviews. All is not clear on this one. There have been special reports, but none approaching Barbara’s last of 1984 in which she, an unmarried, unpregnant and unengaged woman interviewed three women, one married and pregnant, treated as an unusual condition, an aberration — one married and not pregnant — and one pregnant and not married. According to reports, Barbara is now engaged and not pregnant. She has recently been listed as among the Continued on page 5 Blue Ridge Echo Should Virginia have a state lottery?

GOP defends majority The 1986 election year could prove to be critical for Republicans in the Old Dominion. > It will find the GOP defending its majority in the state’s delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives which, along with its Virginia’s two U.S. senators, constitutes the party’s last bastion of controlling strength in the commonwealth’s body politic. George Bowles The battering the Republican Party sustained in the 1985 statewide races, plus its loss of a seat in the House of Delegates, makes it all but imperative that it at least hold its own in the congressional battles coming up this fall. That could be no easy task. Going into the campaigns for Congress, The GOP holds six of the state’s 10 congressional seats. Those ’ include Republican Herbert Bateman of Newport News in the 1st District, Tom Bliley of Richmond in the 3rd, French Slaughter of Culpeper in the 7th, Stanford Parris of Springfield in the 8th and Frank Wolf of Vienna in the 10th. The list also includes, for the moment, William Whitehurst in the 2nd, but he, to the dismay of his fellow Republicans, is not seeking reelection. The Virginia Beach slot , that he is leaving open is regarded as very much at risk by GOP strategists. Eugene McCarthy ' Continued from page 4 - ten best quoiffed women in America, • rated somewhere behind Joan Riv, ers. My fourth wish was for the disappearance of Lee Iacocca from the news and even from his own television commercials. I have lost on this one. Although Lee was passed over — by whom I do not know —for : the Vice Presidential nomination by another Italian, Geraldine Ferraro, Lee is still on television in his own company’s advertisements and is occasionally mentioned by columnists desperate for material as a potential Democratic candidate for the Presidency. John DeLorean, automotive genius, was my fifth choice for disappearance. John, now divorced from the wife with whom he fought the legal battle, seems to have had it. At the end of 1984 I expressed a willingness to call the Ferraro-Zaccaro case closed. It has not quite • been closed. It has continued in court and has been, according to . Mrs. Ferraro, a factor in her deciding not to run for the Senate seat in New York. Geraldine meanwhile is pitching an ad for Pepsi Cola and Motherhood. My next three wishes, that Gloria Steinem (or at least her reflections on life after fifty), Frank Sinatra, and the Gabor sisters would be retired from the news have, been fulfilled beyond my reasonable expectations. And on Claus von Bulow, whom I hoped would be left to the tabloids, more than I hoped for has been accomplished. Even the tabloids have lost interest in him. • I would say that on my ten most unwanted news persons, the year has given me a victory in the range of seven to three. The Democrats’ Norman Sisisky of Petersburg occupies the 4th District seat while veteran lawmaker W.C. (Dan) Daniel of Danville is running for re-election in the 5th. James Olin of Roanoke is seeking a third term in the traditionally Republican 6th, while in the Highland’s 9th District Democrat Frederick Boucher of Abingdon at this point appears to have no opposition. While the challenges and candidacies are anything but settled at this early date, talk around the state Capitol and in party circles gives a fairly clear picture of the way the wind is blowing, and the way it’s blowing seems to indicate that the GOP has its work cutout for it in the months ahead. It appears that three of the six GOP seats, including the open slot in the 2nd will be seriously contested. According to GOP sources only one challenger for the four incumbent Democrats has turned up, although search committees are out scratching for others. In the 1st District, state Sen. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott is said to be strongly considering a challenge to Bateman. Scott is a proven vote getter and an able legislator who had served in the House of Delegates until 1983 before he moved over to the Senate to become the second black to serve in the upper house. His interest in running may have gotten a boost when Lt. Gov. Douglas Wilder carried the first District 53 percent to 47 percent over his Republican opponent, state Sen. John Chichester in the Nov. 5 election. In the open 2nd District, it appears that state Sen. A. Joe Canada of Virginia Beach will receive the GOP nod for Whitehurst’s seat. He will be challenged by Del. Owen B. Pickett, also of Virginia Beach, who has announced he will seek the Democratic nomination. In the 3rd District, Bliley may encounter token opposition. In the 4th the Republicans are trying to flush out an opponent for Sisisky, but so far have had no luck. In the 5th there is also talk of finding an opponent for Daniel, but to date no one has stepped forward to challenge the formidable Dan. In the 6th District rumors are afloat that former Democratic Delegate Willis M. (Wicke) Anderson of Roanoke may be considering opposing Olin. But 6th District observers tend to discount the rumor. In the 7th, Del. Alson (Al) Smith of Winchester, a close confidant of former Gov. Chuck Robb, had made clucking sounds about a possible interest in a challenge to Slaughter. He has since disavowed such interest, but has, nevertheless, surfaced the names of several potential candidates. They are 7th District Democratic Chairman Henry Lee Carter of Orange, state Sen. R. Edward “Edd” Houck of Fredericksburg, George H. Gilliam of Charlottesville who was the Democratic nominee for the post in 1974 and Lewis Costello of Winchester who challenged Slaughter two years ago. Eighth District Democrats are having a similarly difficult time in finding a candidate to oppose Parris. Among the trial balloons which have floated aloft have been those bearing the names of W. Raymond Colley of F. rfax, Deputy Clerk of the House of Representatives, and Robert Horan, commonwealth’s attorney of Fairfax County. No affirmative responses have been forthcoming thusfar, however. Wolf, in the 10th, however, may have a formidable opponent. Arlington County Board Chairman John Millikin has all but declared his candidacy for the Democratic nomination. Thus the Republicans’ hold on the majority of the Virginia Congressional delegation is anything but assured as the November 1986 elections approach.

In terms of the GOP’s long-range plans, coming on the heels of the 1985 defeat, it would be a bitter setback. But a larger loss, say of two or three seats, would be a catastrophe on the order of last fall’s statewide defeats. It could echo through the House of Delegates and state Senate contests of 1987, and through the U.S. Senate race of 1988. In short, the 1985 and 1986 elections combined could once again decisively shift the ever changing direction of the political winds in the Old Dominion. Heaven help us if we ever got becalmed!

Day realtor PERSONAL USE OF VACATION HOME Under today’s tax laws, if you are claiming your vacation home as an investment property, you are restricted to personal use of no more than 14 days or 10% of the annual number of days the property is rented. If you exceed this number of “personal use days”, you’ll lose many of the important investment deductions, such as depreciation and utility and maintenance costs. This 14 day limit of personal use can be extended if the visits are for the purpose of maintenance and upkeep. If this is your case, be sure you can document the fact that you actually did the maintenance work during that extra time period. In the past, if you brought a relative or friend along, it was automatically considered personal. Now you can bring the whole family, as long as you can prove that you did maintenance work during thfe visit. Since the IRS is always looking for their share of taxes, you must be prudent about the number of visits and the timing. It is doubtful that they’ll buy visits every weekend during the rental season.

Meals...and more People gather three times a week at the Rappahannock nutrition site where hot meals — and a whole lot more — are served to local citizens who are 60 years or older. Each Monday, Thursday and Friday the Rappahanncok-Rapidan Community Service Center sponsors the event which is held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. People who attend enjoy the meals, of course, but there are other rewards for going. “It’s bringing people out and bringing them together,” says Jeanne McNear who is a volunteer specialist. Occasionally special events are offered. Last week local artisan Janet Kerig volunteered her time to teach the fine art of basketweaving. The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community provided the basket making materials — which were put to good use — SEE PHOTOS. Becky Jolliffe is director of the Rappahannock Nutrition Site where she works directly with the meal program. People may get a free ride to the site by van if they need transportation. Hot meals, along with those that can be frozen, are also delivered to those who cannot leave their homes. “Becky,” says Jeanne McNear, “really cares a lot about these people.” Hagerstown Almanack predicts white flakes Full Moon this month occurred on the 24th at 10:02 a.m. and quite appropriately was called the Snow Moon since most days in February should see an accumulation of white flakes. Look for snow and stormy conditions on the 1st, 5-7, 11, 12; flurries 13-15 and either snow or rain on both 20-23 and again 27, 28. Caldelmas, the 2nd, marks the day when Mr. Groundhog is supposed to poke his nose out of his burrow. The weather for that date promises to be fair and very cold. Early settlers confused our groundhog, or woodchuck, with their native badger, believed to be a prognosticator of the arrival of spring. BE MY VALENTINE, The 14th gives everyone the opportunity to send cards and other indications of affection. This year, you might be even more demonstrative by giving amethyst which is the birthstone for this month and stands for sincerity. \ 1986 BUICK SALE OFF All SKYHAWK's, SKYLARK'S, & SOMERSET'S in-stock OFF All CENTURY'S in-stock OFF All ELECTRA's & PARK AVENUE'S in-stock PLUS 7.9% FINANCING On all SKYLARK, SOMERSET, 4-CYLINDER CENTURY AND REGAL AUTOMOBILES OFFER ENDS FEB. 1st Dealer No. 2000 Godfrey Buick 3031 Valley Ave., Winchester, VA 667-7111 Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner JANET KERIG (right) demonstartes weaving techniques to Mary Allen. — Sturdily built of 6'x 12" logs up to 40 feet in length. — Hand-hewn for authenticity. — Weathertite double splined to eliminate air filtration. — Predrilled for electric wiring. — Dove-tail notched for precise fit. — Modestly-priced optional erection service by trained crews. • # — Ten years of acknowledged leadership in hand-hewn, dove-tail notched log home construction.

Virginia Counseling program about weight problems Carol Campbell will open a branch of her new business in Culpeper on February 1,1986. “Carol’s Calorie Control Counseling” will offer to the public weekly classes with seminars that are designed to retrain, assist and motivate people with weight problems. Carol has worked in the field of weight control for five years. Having lost 108 pounds herself, she believes that there is a need in the community for her program. Being able to maintain her weight loss for over four years with group support, she thinks that most people cannot diet successfully or maintain weight loss alone. The main purpose of CCCC will be to help individuals regain lost self-esteem; According to Ms. Campbell, many people’s loss of selfesteem is manifested primarily in weight disorders. Calorie Control Counseling, says Ms. Campbell, will help people regain that lost self-esteem. She thinks that it may not be easy all the time, but it is certainly rewarding, fulfilling ‘ and worthwhile. Carol Campbell Weekly seminars will be offered in Culpeper on Saturday and Monday mornings at 9:30 and on Monday evenings at 6:30 at the Culpeper Presbyterian Church.

School 6th GRADE STUDENTS create “Junior Rapp” with computer help Photo courtesy of Deborah Flinchum School newspaper begun at RCES By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “Extra, extra, read all about it!” Mrs. Lucy Ann Maeyer’s sixth grade English class at Rappahan1 nock County Elementary School is publishing a school newspaper. Junior Rapp will be on sale in February. Mrs. Maeyer explained that former vice-principal Mr. Cotter “asked me to publish a school paper. It gives the children a chance to write for a purpose. I think we do too much TV watching and not enough reading of books and not enough writing. We’re going to turn into a more illiterate society than we already are. I put it off because I didn’t want the work but I think it’s a necessary vehicle for the school,” said Mrs. Maeyer. “I think it’s an excellent opportunity for every kid in every grade to write.” Mrs. Maeyer explained that “Newsroom” — a computer program — is used to help publish Junior Rapp. The software program was paid for by the SPTA. Teaching and Computers, a computer magazine, describes the “Newsroom” program as being an easy-to-use word processor and graphic tool which offers students flexibility to create stylish, sophisticated publications. “When working the ‘Newsroom,’ students are busy organizing thoughts, translating them into prose, creating photos, laying out the pages and then rolling the presses by printing out on a printer. Use of the ‘Newsroom’ is limited only by the students’ imagination,” said Mrs. Maeyer. The printers at school, remarked Mrs. Maeyer, “won’t work with this program, so we’re looking for a compatible printer in the community for Commodore 64.” “Most children did not have keyboard skills but this was not a major problem. It just takes them longer to type it in,” she said. “Daphne Hutchinson has been to school three afternoons and helped with editing, putting it together and giving us wonderful advice. Without her we couldn’t have had it,” Mrs. Maeyer emphasized. Mrs. Hutchinson said that during a seven-year period she started off as a reporter, then was news editor, then editor and general manager of '■the Rappahannock News.” “I think it’s important for children to get involved with newspapers at a young age,” said Mrs. Hutchinson. “If they get interested in it when they’re kids they’re going to be newspaper readers when they grow up. An informed populace is a wiser population. I just want to see kids read more.” Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Call 675-3349 to Place Your Ad! Only $3.00 per week for a 1 inch space!

Mrs. Hutchinson had several helpful tips to the students. “They need to pick out the most interesting piece in their story and use that as the lead so that you can catch the interest of the reader.” She believes that listening and reading good newpapers are important. “If you like a story, think about how it works, what made you like it and what did the writer do to make that story interesting,” said Mrs. Hutchinson. “Without Daphne’s direction and her ideas it wouldn’t be a very good newspaper. It would be too factual. You need the art and the skill of writing to make it good. She’s even given us a lot of pointers that helped the children,” said Mrs. Maeyer. “The kids have worked on this for three afternoons but they’ve been excused from different classes to go talk to teachers and report on events that have happened in school. Then they compile most of it during English class,” explained Mrs. Maeyer. “I had to go to all the first grades and find out from teachers what they did that month. Then I had to take parts of the information and compact them into a story,” said Angela Pullen, a first grade reporter for the sixth grade class. “It’s pretty complicated writing it all out. The worst part was having to write it out, edit it and write it over and over.” Editor Christopher Stone realizes, “It’s not as easy as it looks. I have to make sure everyone is doing his job. The worst thing is everybody’s asking me questions all at once and then the next minute nobody is around. But it’s worth it because I know some of the money will go to our Williamsburg trip next Junior Rapp, the name for the paper, was the brainchild of Christopher Sutton, assistant editor. “I’ve worked on other computer programs such as math but this English program is new. I’ve learned a lot more about grammar and spelling. I enjoyed doing this because I get to help people and it’s teaching me to get more skills in case I do this in the future. A lot of my classmates came in with good ideas but it was hard getting it all organized. I had to be in so many places at one time.” “The feature stories are Mr. Fountain’s return, the Williamsburg trip for the seventh grade, the snow days, Ms. Nowakowski and sports, a4 report on all the grades (each child had one grade to report on), and the Pop Quiz on the front page,” Mrs. Maeyer said. “We hope to get out one more paper in the middle of May. Hopefully, next time we can have more participation from the children and teachers of all grades. I hope pupils will let us know what’s going on. It should be more of a school newspaper next time,” she added. Junior Rapp will be on sale at RCES the first week of February for 25 cents. “The money will be used to buy supplies and help pay for the Williamsburg trip next year,” said student Chris Sutton. By the end of the year Mrs. Maeyer hopes her students have learned that “in writing it is always good to have a purpose, an idea, that you have to revise and rewrite and nobody sits down and writes and hands it in. If you don’t succeed at first, try, try again and you will succeed, which I think the kids have proven.” Admissions placement testing Wakefield School will hold Admissions and Placement testing on Saturday, February 22, beginning at 10 a.m. There is no pre-application necessary for the testing, but interested parents are urged to call the school before the testing date in order to receive a catalog and application.

Sport Wakefield School basketball update By HELEN RUISI AND LARRY TARR Rappahannock News Contributing Writers As Wakefield School’s varsity basketball team begins the second half of its season, the team has raised its record to 6-5 overall and 21 in the Delaney Conference. In recent games, Wakefield lost to Rappahannock High School before rebounding later in the week to defeat Highland View Academy. In the first game, Wakefield hosted an extremely tall, welldrilled Rappahannock team who used its great size advantage to overpower the Wakefield team! Although the game was close in the early minutes, a strong surge by the Rappahannock team left Wakefield with a 30-10 deficit at the end of the first quarter. In the second period, Wakefield managed to stay even with the Rappahannock team behind 15 of David Rowzie’s game-high 29 points. However, the Owls were never able to gain any ground on the Panthers, and as a result, Rappahannock led 50-28 at the half. Throughout the second half, the Rappahannock team scored at will as the Owls were stymied most times down court. Rappahannock went on to victory by a score of 102-58, thus setting a single-game scoring re cord, shooting 64 percent from the field. In the second game of the week, Wakefield hosted Highland View .Academy, a team which had defeated the Owls earlier in the season. As the game began, Wakefield’s pressing defense forced. Highland View into several tum-overs, giving the Owls a 13-6 lead at the end of the period. However, as the second quarter began, several defensive losses by the Wakefield team kept fhe opposition in the game. By the end of the half, Highland View had cut the lead Wakefield participates in talent search By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Eighteen seventh and eighth grade students from Wakefield School are participating in the Johns Hopkins University Talent Search which is sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Academically Talented Youth (CTY). The search attempts to identify mathematically and verbally talented youth.

With the start of the second half, Wakefield was extremely sluggish, making only four field goals during the third quarter. Highland took advantage of Wakefield’s lethargy and gained a 44-41 lead at the end of the quarter. But, by converting 12 of 16 foul shots, Wakefield outscored Highland View 24-8 in the final eight minutes en route to the 65-52 victory. Wakefield’s leading scorers included Rowzie, of Amissville, with 27 points and Nick Longerbeam of Berryville with 14. level standardized tests. Wakefield School administers the ERB Test to students in the Grammar School and it was through these scores that the students participating in the CTY search were identified. In the second stage of the search, students take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) which is designed for measuring the aptitudes of high school juniors and seniors. The Wakefield students participating in the CTY Search took the SAT test last weekend and are awaiting the results. Last year, Wakefield student Jeff Dickerson of Culpeper participated in the program and was among the top 150 scorers in the state. SPTA sock hop raises money By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Contributing Writer “I’ve seen a lot of smiling faces around here tonight,” commented parent Larry Sutton at the StudentParent-Teacher Association sock hop held at Rappahannock County Elementary School last Friday night. Cindy Andreoni, president of the SPTA, stated the purpose of having sock hops: “It’s our main fund raiser but I consider the main purpose to be providing socialization for the children. Because of this, it’s good for students of all grades.” She hopes the community will realize that “it’s not just a dance — it is a fun time, too.” Edie Clark, chairman of the sock hop, expressed her thanks to 'parents who brought baked goo<js for the snack table. Ms. Clark feels participation is the key to a successful sock hop. She encourages everyone to “come and enjoy.” The students gave many reasons for attending. Cindy Welch an,d Kelly Lawler both said that they “like to dance.” Jennifer Leake said, “I don’t like to watch TV on Friday night.” Jonathan Maeyer said, “The girls go after me!” and Johanna Tole believes that “it gives me energy.” Many parents felt sock hops are a fine idea. “It is an excellent opportunity for the kids to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere,” commented parent Emma Swatman. The SPTA members hope to see more “smiling faces” at their next sock hop which is planned for early spring. ^afecftelb ^cfjool _ (Founded 1972) Huntly, Virginia PARENTS: THE KEY TO YOUR CHILD’S FUTURE IS A GOOD EDUCATION.

CAAC presents critically successful films Rv nAPRVT ITTTTTT,lll\TCirv%T R*W»*'«ttnock Newi Contributing Writer The screen at Washington’s Gay Street Theater will never be splashed with the blood and gore of “Friday, The 13th," Part II, III, IV, V, or XXV. Sleazy smashes and tacky titillators don’t play at the old movie house in the historical town surveyed by young George Washington. Neither do the box office bonanzas of Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson and a host of Rung Fu imitators. “There are plenty of places for those movies — first-run commerical theaters,” said Frank Reynolds, president of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community, the non-profit group that operates the Gay Street Theater. “We show the critical successes. Sometimes, those same films are financial successes; sometimes they’ll play at the neighborhood theaters and in the malls. But often, the only place you can see them is in the big city — or here.” Understandably, RAAC membership is heavy with movie goers and movie lovers. The Association grew out of efforts spearheaded by Mr. Reynolds and 4 Washington 1 way vi reier ivramer to save the old Gay Street Theater from being remodeled into offices. In a testament to their credentials as devotees of the silver screen, RAAC’s film committee consistently second guesses the critics and the Academy Award Committee by picking — far in advance — movies that will later be applauded as “Ten Best” selections or Oscar nominees. Three weeks ago The Washington Post ran a consensus “Best of the Best” list. Seventy movie and magazine reviewers were surveyed and a final ranking was compiled based on the number of times a film was cited by the critics. Finishing one, two and three were Prizzi’s Honor, The Purple Rose of Cairo and Witness. All three have already been shown at the Gay Street Theater, as have other favorites of the critics such as Cocoon, The Killing Fields and Desperately Seeking Susan. Gay Street Theater-goers saw Robert Duvall in Tender Mercies long before he was nominated for and won the Best Actor Oscar. They saw Linda Hunt in The Year of Living Dangerously before she was a surprise winner as Best Supporting Actress. Then there’s the other end of the list — none of the movies selected as worst of the worst by the 75 critics in The Washington Post survey has been or will ever be shown at Gay Street. reviews,” said chairman Bill Young. “And at least one of us tries to see a film before it’s considered.” How do they choose? The film committee members look for excellence — in the film as a whole, the The movie cuffs on RAAC’s film committee aren’t soothsayers; they don’t look into a crystal ball to see which of the hundreds of movies released each year are going to be critical winners. “But we do read the acting, the theme or the direction, according to Dr. Young. “We want films that have something to say. Box office receipts are never the deciding factor. Of course, we want popular films. We don’t want an THE FUSSIEST PEOPLE MAKE THE BEST ICECREAM.

But we don’t show films that we know aren’t any good, no, matter how much money we could take in.” He added that an “R” rating doesn’t preclude screening. “But an ‘R’ film must have redeeming characteristics — either artistic, ethical or moral.” Does it sound too high falutin’? Too much like a hang-out for effete intellectual snobs and arty types? Then you’ve never visited the Gay Street Theater. The operation is run entirely by volunteers. The fellow popping the popcorn may dash upstairs to start the projector. The ticket seller will give you a ticket even though there’s no one at the door to tear it in half and take the stub before you take your seat. Up in the balcony, kids giggle and teenagers snuggle. In season, the refreshment booth offers fresh apple cider squeezed from Rappahannock County apples. All year, the selection includes soft drinks and candy, the choices dictated by the suggestions of customers. “You can bring a bag lunch to each if you want. Just don’t throw the bag on the floor!” Dr. Young noted. Children are welcome and if baby cries, mom or dad will be invited to bring the unhappy youngster into the sound proofed projection booth to watch the film. “The projectionist is always delighted to have company,” the film committee chairman added. The RAAC volunteers have become semi-professionals in the three years movies have been shown. “We’ve only had to cancel once,” Dr. Young said. The film was lost in the mail. “We didn’t find it for two weeks!” Although there’s been only one cancellation, frantic film committee members have made scores of long distance telephone calls to Atlanta, New York, Chicago, St. Louis and California, trying to track down a late arrival. Finding Terms of Endearment presented the biggest challenge. It was Friday afternoon and the film still hadn’t been delivered. “We called the distributor in Atlanta and he put a copy on the bus for Warrenton. It was supposed to arrive on Saturday but the bus station in Warrenton was closed on Saturday,” Dr. Young recalled. A message was delivered to the driver — in transit — asking that the package be dropped off in Culpeper instead. But by mistake, the film ended up in Washington, D. C. “A kind-hearted bus driver brought it back to Culpeper and we got it to the theater at 7 for the 7:30 showing,” Dr. Young said. The film committee faces other hassles besides delivery problems. “When we first started three years ago, virtually all the films we wanted were available through three companies. But the distribution system has changed,” Dr. Young said. “Now there are dozens of small companies bidding for the rights and driving the prices up. They don’t make 16 millimeter prints available to non-commercial theaters until much later, after they’ve recovered their costs. Currently, we deal with 10 companies, we wait longer for films and we pay more. And like the first run commercial theaters, we’re competing with VCRs and cable television.” Somehow, the little theater manages to keep it projector running. RAAC can’t advertise its film schedule. Member of the non-profit group are mailed flyers listing upcoming films; other must call the RAAC office, where a recording gives the weekend’s selection, or learn of coming attractions from friends. Even with this handicap, almost every seat in the house was taken for The Big Chill and Chariots of Fire. And community support gives the box office a boost. For the classic King of Hearts, students from the Rappahannock County High School and Wakefield Country Day School were bussed in by a dedicated movie fan for a special Monday morning show “We started off calling it the RAAC film club because we sold season tickets, 10 movies for $20. A lot of people got the wrong idea. It’s not a club and you don’t have to join RAAC to see a movie,” Dr. Young explained. “We sell tickets at the door for each movie and we’re open to anyone who wants to come.” Films are shown at the Gay Street Theater in Washington, every weekend on Saturday and Sunday nights at 7:30. Admission is $3, less for RAAC members. Youngsters and senior citizens get a break, too! Upcoming films include: — February 1 and 2, “Mask,” which won Cher the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, — February 8 ami 9, “Sweet Dreams,” an emotionally charged film starring Jessica Lange as Patsy Cline, the country music legend, — February 15 and 16, “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” a critically acclaimed look in gentle slapstick at the Kalahari bushmen of Botswana from South African filmmaker Jamie Ulys, — February 22 and 23, “Silverado,” a fast and funny Western from writer-director Lawrence Kasdan whose credits include “The Big Chill,” “Body Heat,” ... “Indiana, Jones” and “Raiders of the Lost 1 Ark.” To receive a complete listing of upcoming attractions, call the RAAC offices at 675-3193. The American Foxhound — most popular dog? While not unique to Virginia the American foxhound is certainly a tradition here. Like many old breeds they have a proud heritage. Some people, including Animal Warden Jack Bruce, believe that they are the most popular dogs in Rappahannock County. The earliest mention of the foxhound was found in a diary written by a a retainer of the Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto. In that diary he said that in 1650 one Robert Brooke set sail from the European continent to the “Crown Colony of America,” bringing with him a pack of hounds. In 1742 Mr. Thomas Walker of Albemarle County imported hounds from England. Later George Washington received some hounds from Lafayette of France. “Like the bells of Moscow” was his description of their voices. The hounds are hardy and vigorous, but obedient. Like other hounds, they are famous for their keen sense of smell. CABIN FEVER $5°° OFF VINYL PLASTIC LATEX WALL PAINT PLASTIC-KOTE ACRYLIC LATEX PAINT WALL KOTE ALKYD OIL PAINT Sugg.

Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner OLD FASHIONED HAY STACKS and truck near Flint Hill ‘Virginia forest — its common wealth’ The age of a tree can be easily determined by counting the growth rings, the value of the timber industry can be evaluated by counting the dollars, but the true worth of Virginia’s total forest resource extends far beyond the conventional values. State Forester James W. Gamer recently released a study entitled “Virginia’s Forest — Its Common Wealth.” The study evaluates, for the first time, the industrial worth and the value of environmental amenities of Virginia’s timberland. ‘This magnificent resource conservatively contributes $4.2 billion to the state’s economy each year and is a significant factor in the quality lifestyle of every Virginian, ” Gamer said. The forest industry has grown from a hand-operated sawmill at Jamestown to an industry spread across the state contributing $3.2 billion to Virginia’s economy each year. Beyond , the impact of the industry is the total forest resource value — recreation, water quality and clean air. The value of these fringe benefits add another $1 billion bringing the total to over $4.2 billion per year. The forest industry, unlike others, is thoroughly distributed throughout the St^ite. Virginia’s forest products industry ranks first in the number of manufacturing sites, providing employment, making significant financial contributions for local schools, roads and other governmental services through tax revenues. The industry contributes nine percent of locally derived revenues for ,education from property and personal property taxes, corporate income tax and taxes paid by employee^. When all of this is taken into account, it is likely that no industry is as important to Virginia’s school systems as the forest industry. Two-thirds of the commonwealth’s land is covered with forest. These forests have been providing raw materials for the growing industry for over 300 years. Because of the good protection and wise use of this resource, the industry continues to expand. Since January 1983, 12 forest products firms have begun or announced plans forsji new plant construction. A dozen others are carrying out significant expansion plans. These new additions are expected to create over 1000 jobs and will involve over one-half billion dollars in capital expansion. The value of this resource begins with the thousands of landowners across the state. Timber is Virginia’s largest cash crop. Landowners receive over $100 million per year for their timber. The sale of this timber by the owners begins a chain reaction unseen in most other industries. Each year over one billion board feet cof sawtimber and veneer, enough to build more than 80,000 homes and two million cords of pulpwood are delivered to mills and wood yards from Virginia’s forests. Every $1 earned by^a landowner from the sale of timber generates $27.65 in economic activity. This cycle provides employment for one of every seven Virginians involved in manufacturing and furnishes $1 of every $8 of salary and wages and $1 of every $9 in value added through manufacturing. This industry ranks first in employment, first in total expenditure of salary and wages and third in value added from manufacturing compared to other manufacturing industries. Relatively few Virginians have a real view of the economic impor* tance of the forest in the state. It is, in fact, an enormous industry that is among the largest in Virginia and has only begun to tap the potential growth. “The report illustrates that trees do have an importance in the economy of the commonwealth and it emphasizes another opportunity for economic development in the state that has been long overlooked. Virginians, for a long time, have failed to notice the forest for the trees,” said State Forester Gamer. While few people realize the importance of timber to the state, they often overlook the economic importance of additional benefits derived from our forest because it covers two-thirds of the state. The forest resource affects the lives of nearly all Virginians through hunting, fishing, recreation, clean water, landscape and horticultural products, home sites and air quality. The total forest resource is a natural bond of cycles and chains all of which are dependent on each other. Today, Virginia’s foresters are planting pine on steep, eroding marginal lands along small streams that carry silt and contaminants to the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The diverse wildlife species depend on a variety of forest types, timber ages and clean water for their very existence. Forest areas that protect our endangered species have been set aside for protection. State Forester, Jim Gamer, adds, “The noticeable absence of dollar figures in the report on the intangible benefits is by design. “How can you put a dollar value on clean water, clean air or a relaxing environment in an isolated forest setting? The simple beauty of mountains and swamps are all protected by Virginia’s vast forest resource.” The management and the protection of this vital resource is important for many reasons. These forests contribute greatly to the high standard of living that Virginians cherish. Trees are truly Virginia’s common wealth. Beef in the brush A wise man once commented, “He is not only idle who does nothing, but is idle who might be better employed.” For certain, old “Bossy” could be better employed than spending her time with the woodpeckers. Woodland grazing is a problem throughout much, of .Virginia. Nearly 18 acres of woodland are needed to just maintain the body weight of a 700 pound steer. When grazing a woodlot, cattle will eat many indigestible materials. Much of the pure cellulose they graze from a woodlot fills them up and satisfies their appetite when they could have eaten quality food. This could slow down their weight gain. More and better feed can be obtained by improving present pasture than by allowing cattle to roam your timberland. Another hazard involved in woodlot grazing is the fact that many plants such as wild cherry, nightshade, mountain laurel and Dutchman’s breeches, are poisonous to cattle. Acorn poisoning can also be a problem. The price of one lost cow could have helped build a stretch of fence. From a timber management standpoint, the detrimental effects of grazing are many. The cattle destroy forest reproduction, compact the soil, cause erosion and retard the growth of the standing trees. The quality of the timber is often affected, just ask any logger. The low shrubs which form the ground cover are also gone. This ground cover protects the soil from drying winds and helps prevent erosion. The leaf litter which holds moisture in the topsoil and enhances fertility is often absent. Also, soil compaction in the upper six inches of soil can cut tree diameter growth in half. Social Security reviews a new bociai .security disability review process has begun for Rappahannock county residents. The old reviews were stopped nearly two years ago according to Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper. Recent major reforms promise to make the review process more equitable and responsive. The most important change is the new medical improvement review standard. It provides that disability payments under Social Security will continue unless there is a strong proof of medical improvement since the last decision and the disabled person is able to do substantial gainful work, Hundley said. Under the old law, only ability to work had to be shown for benefits to stop. There are some exceptions to the requirement to evaluate medical improvement, but they will apply only rarely, such as: — The disabled individual has benefited from advances in medical or vocational therapy or technology related to ability to work. — New or improved diagnostic or evaluation techniques show that the individual’s impairment is not as disabling as it was considered to be previously and, therefore, he or she can work. — There is substantial evidence that a prior disability decision was in error. Benefits also may stop without evaluation of medical improvement if the individual: is doing substantial gainful work; fraudulently obtained benefits; fails without good cause to cooperate in a review or to follow prescribed treatment expected to restore ability to work; or cannot be located. The new standard will be applied nationwide by. disability decisionmakers at all levels, including the courts. Decisions must be made on the basis of all available prior and current evidence concerning the person’s past and present condition. There should be greater uniformity of disability decisions because of these and other changes in the law. For more information about the disability reviews, contact our Social Security office located at 806 N. Main Street in Culpeper. The telephone number is (703) 825-3500.

Business Tax return filing uy <4. U.AKL, I AINtti I Rappahannock News Contributing Writer With the new year comes the often unpleasant task of filing your income tax return. This is an excellent time to analyze your overall financial picture. Many of us wish we could take the time to review our investments, check on our insurance, improve our record system and check to see that our financial decisions are sound. Tax return filing season gives you an opportunity to raise the questions you may have put off in reference to real estate investing or tax shelter analysis. Accountants are willing and qualified to assist you in reviewing your tax and financial questions. The more questions you ask and the more you learn about business and general tax concepts, the better equipped you become to ask profitable questions of your accountant. If you’re running a small business, perhaps you have questions about the use of computers in your business. Maybe you have questions about business expansion, or equipment lease versus buy decisions, or inventory controls, or even employee pension and profit sharing plans. Whether you’re filing a very simple income tax return or a more com pncatea Dusmess return, you should take a few extra minutes to question your accountant about all these very important financial concerns. Accountants handle a great variety of business and financial transactions. They make very good sounding boards. If your questions fall outside the area of expertise of your accountant, he/she will direct you to other professionals for assistance. You may never enjoy filing your income tax return, but at least you can look forward to a profitable annual review of all your other financial concerns. Q.

The “Sweepstakes” is similar to actual “boiler room” pitches now being used to bilk Virginia residents. According to Robin A. Luers, Postal Inspector in Charge in Richmond, numerous complaints have been received by Postal Inspectors indicating that individuals from California, Florida and other states are attempting to contact (by telephone and by mail) “winners” of expensive prizes including vacations, cash, color televisions, microwave ovens, his/her watches and motor boats. The alleged winners are being told NUGGETS OF TRUTH By BARBARA TAYLOR Family Worship Center, Washington, Va. The Bible declares that Jesus will be P returning soon to gather all those who trust L and believe in him and have accepted him y as their Saviour and Lord. We know the P time is approaching according to the signs l of the times, (Read Matt. chap. 24 & 2 Tim. • 3:1-5) we do not know the hour when He » shall come again so until that time we P must learn to live successfully here as a • child of God. f In Luke chap. 6 vs. 46-49, we see the f story Jesus told about the two men who E built a house. The man that dug deep and p laid a foundation on a rock was likened f unto one that heard the sayings of Jesus P and did them and when the flood arose t and beat heavily upon the house it could f not be shaken. But the man that laid no »foundation for his house is likened unto r one that hears God's word and does not p do it, when the flood arose the house was a destroyed. r As Christians, trials and trouble or we p could say floods and storms will come in a our lives, these troubles come from Satan r (read John 10:10) (Jesus is the giver of E life, not the taker). a In Eph. 6:13 the Bible tells us to put on f the whole armor of God that you may be P able to withstand in the evil day - the folp lowing verses in Eph. 6 tell us what God's f armor is. P We need to be so equipped with God's i word in our heart, when trials or storms f come in our lives we can be able to pass p through the midst of them without a \ scratch! Remember the Hebrew children p in the fiery furnace? They were cast into (•the furnace; but because they knew God Jand trusted him and obeyed his sayings, Jchap. 3 of Daniel and vs. 27 says the fire • had no power over them, their hair was not • singed, their clothes were not burned, neither the smell of smoke was on them! Our i God has not changed - if He did that for • them He will do the same for us! | If you do not know how to get your life ,founded on solid ground, we can help you (through the Bible, please write us, we •want to hear from you. , The evil day will come in our lives bi i thanks be to God, He has made a way fc (us to live victoriously and not be victim oi | circumstances and that way is through Jeisus and applying His word to our lives.
