The guests were greeted with v a colorful tissue paper lei and a Mendly “aloha” by the students dressed in grass skirts. “Ending my unit with a luau brought everything that we had learned together in a ' fun way,” explained Miss Stoltaftis. “Before today we had talked about what a ltiart was and we saw slides of a luau that showed some things the Hawaiians. do and why they do them.” , “The ' Hawaiians. have, luaus because of tradition. Also, when the fishermen have a good catch that day or if one of the kings has a birthday,” continued Miss Stoltzfiis. 'The students were really fascinated by the kings — huge men with a big belly sitting there with a big grass skirt on A “We talked about the hula dance several times. The girls were fascinated by that and the guys loved it. The dance that we did at our luau was an original Hawaiian dance. The children realized that these were original Hawaiian moves About the dance I’ couldn't stop them from practicing,” 'laughed Miss Stoltzfus. ; The luau tables were , draped with tablecloths which were decorated with Ha waiian scenes drawn by the students. Fresh coconut, fresh pineapple, bananas, kiwi fruit, macadamia nuts, and melon were served. The students were given an opportunity to taste coconut milk. Upon tasting it comments such as “this is yucky,” “this is sweet,” “this is the nastiest stuff I’ve ever tasted,” and “yum this is good” were heard around the room. “J couldn’t have done it without the parents. jThey brought in most df the food for r$he luau and a lot of parents ^caiiTmBrfearurreverpe some parentsto put on grass skirts!” exclaimed Miss Stoltzftis. “I have a new theme each month and I decorate the door Continued on page 14 Game Commission promises action on ‘hoodlum hunters’ i HEiariOA REi I ULUS Rappahannock News Special Writer In Rappahannock early this month, a d’-'"milled hunter left bloody ca; ■ (••er heads and asrfo)'’ - ani: >ses on the front walk ol a family home. This action, suspects Rappahannock Game Warden Jim Bankston, was in retaliation for the family notifying him and other law enforcement officials of repeated trespassing, road hunting and spotlighting incidents on their land. This is a problem with a long and depressing past, Mr. Bankston noted, recalling cases where hunters slugged landowners, shot up mailboxes and intimidated motorists who tried to pass them on the road. Mr. Bankston is quick to say that most hunters are sportsmen and perspective! dercover game agents confiscated 3,500 pounds of wild game illegally caught for market. Virginia Game Commissioners are reporting increasing complaints from their constituents. In an attempt to respond to mounting pressure from citizens’ and sportsmen’s groups to stop abuses, the commissioners asked for a report on the problem from their law enforcement division at the commission’s January 17 meeting. James Dyer, former Culpeper guage tnat is proiane and obscene. Mr. Dyer is one of a group of concerned Culpeper County residents who have met with their game commissioner, David A. Fahnestock of Winchester, to discuss threats, assaults and property damage occurring with increasing frequency to Culpeper landowners who complain about road hunters and trespassers. Commissioner Henry Thomas of Alexandria, .who has a vacation home in Tiger Vallej^aid that he’s been hunting in the “mountains of Rappahannock” for 20 years. “And each year I read the local papers with growing horror,” he said. “One woman even had her house shot at. It’s wild.” Continued on page 13 aim ucpui c UICOC dUUOCS as much as he does. “But the fact is that these hunters give the others a black eye — give hunting in general a black eye,” said the veteran warden. And it’s not only a Rappahannock problem, said Mr. Bankston. In Culpeper, several women, including one who was pregnant and had recently been kicked by an irate road hunter as she recorded his license number, are forming a group tentatively titled Mothers Against Slob Hunters to combat the intimidation they feel each winter. In Fauquier, hunters killed illegal deer, propping a fawn’s head on a fencepost as a grisly joke. And in Madison, Culpeper and Albemarle counties, the warden said, un oupeivisur, maue an unscneduled appearance before the'board to ask for some action to stop the “hoodlum hunters” that plague his and other Virginia counties during hunting season. Mr. Dyer, who said that he is a lifetime National Rifle Association member and a hunter for more than 40 years, told the commission, “In our county I have seen groups consisting of up to 15 vehicles occupied by armed men, cruising our secondary roads, running their deer dogs across other people’s property without permission, making little or no effort to leave their vehicles and hunt in a legal and sporting manner, and using citizen’s band radios to coordinate their activities in Ian ‘...these hunters give the others a black eye—give hunting in general a black eye.’ —Game Warden Jim Bankston Board criticized for failing to act on county landfill By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer Nelson Lane lashed out at other members of the Board of Supervisors on Monday for what he considers their gross inaction concerning a landfill site for the county. The present landfill site, which was originally planned as a temporary facility, is almost filled and may be closed by April. Mr. Lane’s criticism resulted in the board’s decision to hold a workshop to begin determining a landfill site. The workshop has been scheduled for Friday, February 7, at 10 a.m. Mr. Lane said that the report generated by the Solid Waste Advisory Management Committee had “fallen onto deaf ears.” He also thinks the situation is critical because of the time factor. “Rappahannock always seems to go to the dead end before applying the brakes and seeing which way we’re going to slide.” The committee on which he served determined three options for a landfill site: — Establish an agreement for another county to accept trash for a minimum of five years. — Ship the trash to the Harrisonburg Resource Recovery Facility. shooting in the dark — not knowing what numbers to pick from.” Mr. Gilkey asked Del Price, who was chairman of the Solid Waste Management Committee, to provide costs to the board members in order to make a proper assessment. The workshop on Friday is open to the public and will be held at the county courthouse. In another matter, Dr. George Cervera, DDS, presented the board with a review of the Rappahannock County Dental Trailer program which is mostly funded by a federal ‘Rappahannock always seems to go the dead end before applying the brakes...’ —Supervisor Nelson Lane — Make another landfill site in Rappahannock. The Harrisonburg site has agreed to accept the county’s burnable trash. An unnamed neighboring county has consented to accept the the trash for the next two years. Mr. Lane said, “I think this board has been irresponsible in not acting onihe. offer.” “It’s going to come back at us in court,” he stated. He was also concerned that the board was negotiating with the owner of the current landfill site in order to build another adjacent to the existing site. The waste committee’s report had advised against this concept because of potential pollution and regulatory problems. Supervisor Pete Estes said that Mr. Lane had never presented the board with cost projections. He stated that he felt Mr. Lane’s “assault” was “unfair to members of the board. ” “I won’t vote without knowing what it costs,” he said. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey agreed, saying, “Everybody is grant. He called the program a success and told board members that Rappahannock citizens are paying just four and half percent of the total value of services which the county is receiving. According to the statistics presented by the Fauquier County Health Department, which helps operate the program in cooperation with ..the Virginia Department of Health, the net operating cost of the trailer is approximately $18,000 per year with the county’s share totalling about $5600, The dentist’s salary of $47,300 is paid by the National Health Service. According to the statistics, the value of the services provided to Rappahannock County school children was $121,430 which is more than double the value assessed for 1983. The dental trailer, situated behind the elementary school, primarily serves students from both the Rappahannock County Elementary School and the Rappahannock County High School. Patients are admitted on a sliding-scale system which accepts payment based on the ability to pay. Dr. Cervera told the board that the term for the current dentist will Continued on page 14 Perry Engineering money held A contractor for the Sperryville Sewer Treatment Plant will have payment amounting to $15,500 withheld because of construction delays. The Board of Supervisors agreed on Monday to withhold the money from Perry Engineering based on a recommendation from the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning Commission. According to the commission’s executive director Wayne Cilimberg, who spoke at the meeting, Perry Enginnering has caused a holdup that prevents other aspects of the system, including test flows, from being completed. The contractor is “well past the deadline date for them to complete work,” said Mr. Cilimberg. Another payment amounting to more than $7000 is also being withheld from Perry Engineering because they have not provided grant compliance forms to the commission. Richardson new Extension Agent By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Sandra Richardson has been named the new Rappahannock County Extension Agent in home economics and 4-H youth, and assumed the position this month. Mrs. Richardson comes to Rappahannock from Virginia Beach where she has lived since 1959. There she spent many years teaching in both public and private schools. She has taught children from nursery age to sixth grade and has substituted in high schools. She has also been involved with the 4-H and has worked with their camping programs and their Leaders Association — a group of volunteers. She was recently a telemarketing specialist with the Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach. Mrs. Richardson attended Ohio State and James Madison Universities and earned her degree in home economics from Norfolk State University. About her new position she says, “I would like to work with teens, young children. ” “What the county desires, I would like to meet,” she said. Her position is one in which she can share money management ideas, nutrition information, family management and a wide array of other topics relating to the home. “I want people to know how to be a wise consumer,” she said. Mrs. Richardson is clearly 'excited about the Extension Office’s\ new garden management program in which local citizens can provide information which is put into their' computer. The Extension Office can then generate a report enabling people to produce better gardens. Mrs. Richardson is married and has three children. Her relo- j cation to Rappahannock was made easier because of her love of mountains. “There is such a warmth in this county,” she says. “Everyone we have come in contact with has been so warm and y gracious.” ‘

Sews of Record General District Court In General District Court this week, Judge William Carson found Herbert Otis not guilty of the assault and battery charge filed against him by Greg Robertson. Mr. Robertson had contracted with Mr. Otis last June to build a house for him in Rappahannock County, Mr. Robertson testified that Mr. Otis grabbed him “by the throat” and pushed him over some stairs, following a dispute that occurred on the porch of the newly built house. Mr. Robertson also testified that his glasses had been broken during the scuffle and that he sustained a cut on his face. The dispute, according to Mr. Robertson, concerned his displeasure with the pace at which construction of the house was proceeding. Mr. Otis testified that Mr. Robertson had followed him into the house after the altercation on the porch. Mr. Otis said Mr. Robertson then threw down his briefcase and rushed toward him with his glasses off while Mr. Otis was standing 10 or 11 feet away in a comer of the room. Mr. Otis said that Mr. Robertson had fallen on top of him and that an employee of his, Daniel Wilson, had pulled Mr. Robertson off. In response to Judge Carson’s ' question about the nature of the scuffle, Mr. Otis said, “It was just a bear hug. We just wrestled. It was all over in 15 seconds. ” The two witnesses present during the incident also presented testimony that supported Mr. Otis’ claim of innocence of the assault and battery charge. Judge Carson concluded that the weight of the evidence was that Mr. Robertson started the ruckus. “In order for me to find the defendant guilty of assault and battery, I must accept the testimony of Mr. Robertson in its entirety and exclude the testimony of the other three witnesses. The evidence that is before this court is in conflict with the testimony presented by Mr. Robertson. That evidence indicates that Mr. Robertson was in fact approaching Mr. Otis and that Mr. Otis was on top.” In a civil case, James Bennett II has requested that Michael Brown pay for damages sustained during a collision with Mr. Brown’s bull in August 1985 while Mr. Bennett was driving his vehicle along Route 211. Mr. Bennett is co-owner of a used car lot in the county and Mr. Brown owns and operates a service station in Rappahannock. Judge Carson heard lengthy testimony concerning Mr. Brown’s fences from both Mr. Brown and his neighbor, Clarence Walters. Judge Carson was also presented testimony to determine whether Mr. Brown’s bull could be considered a “jumping bull.” Judge Carson asked the prosecuting and defense attorneys to send briefs to his Warrenton office on recent court decisions that they think apply to this particular case. Mr. Carson will then inform them of his decision. Other cases decided on Tuesday were: Shannon Cameron Heinlen, 78/55, $46/20. Frederick Lee Hinson, 69/55, $28/20.

Senate approves tougher DWI bills By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICHMOND — Drunken drivers would be easier to convict and would be subject to tougher penalties if bills approved by the Virginia Senate on Monday become law. The Senate voted, 36-2-1, to adopt a bill that lowers the blood alcohol level necesssary for “per se” conviction of drunken drivers from. 15 to. 10. A judge can convict a driver of driving drunk with a .10 level now, but only after hearing evidence that may or may not lead to conviction. The per se law, passed in 1983, makes that conviction automatic if the blood test shows an alcohol level of .15 or higher. The per se concept already has the Assembly’s endorsement, said the bill’s sponsor, Sen. A. Joseph Canada (R-Virginia Beach). “The question today is whether we’re going to come in line with the rest of the states,” Sen. Canada said. The other bill, introduced by Sen. Daniel W. Bird Jr. (DWythe), would impose stiff, mandatory penalities for drunken drivers, including one to five days in jail, a fine of at least $1,000 and loss of license for six months for the first offense. It faced more opposition before the Senate than Sen. Canada’s measure, but it passed by a 34-4 vote. The bills will go to the House Courts of Justice Committee, where the opposition may be much stiffer. The tougher penalties, for example, have “no chance” before the House committee, according to Del. Thomas M. Moncure Jr. (D-Fauquier/Stafford), a member of the committee who says he invariably votes in the minority on such bills. The new per se law has a better chance, he said, because some local courts have interpreted the current .15 per se level as the threshold for conviction, even though a. 10 level is enough, with other evidence, to convict a driver of driving drunk. “It’s going to be very close,” said Del. Kenneth B. Rollins (RLoudoun/Fauquier), who also serves on the committee. Opposition was light for both bills before the Senate Courts of Justice Committee last week. The public hearing was dominated by people who want tougher laws. The committee voted down one drunken driving bill, which Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun/Fairfax) had introduced. The bill would make it illegal to drink alcohol while driving, regardless of blood alcohol level. It failed by a 7-4 vote. “This particular measure sounds good and does nothing,” Sen. Dudley J. Emick (D-Botetot) said. “I don’t think we should pass unrealistic laws,” said Sen. Thomas J. Michie Jr. (D-Charlottesville), who added that the bill, if adopted, “would be unrealistic and widely disregarded.” J Uncertainty clouds Loudoun TDR plan By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICHMOND — Loudoun County’s proposed transferable development rights program came before a joint legislative committee meeting for public hearing on Tuesday, amid confusion over the need for state authority to adopt the program. The House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns and the Senate Committee on Local Government held public hearing on bills introduced in each house to reaffirm Loudoun’s authority to enact the program, a farmland preservation and growth management concept under preparation in Loudoun for almost four years. The Senate committee, under the temporary chairmanship of Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-Loudoun/Fairfax), referred the issue to a subcommittee while it awaits an opinion from the attorney general’s office on the constitutionality of TDR and the need for state enabling legislation to use it. Del. Robert T. Andrews (RFairfax/Loudoun), who cosponsored the legislation last year but not this year, requested the opinion on Jan. 22. The subcommittee — comprised of Sens. Charles J. Colgan (D-Prince William), Wiley F. Mitchell Jr. (RAlexandria) and Madison E. Marye (D-Montgomery) — will report to the full committee on Tuesday. The House bill, meanwhile, is already before a subcommittee chaired by Del. C. Richard Cranwell (D-Vinton). The full committee meets again on Friday. All of this might not have been necessary, because both legislators and Loudoun officials acknowledge the county’s proposed program may not even need state approval. But when the legislature gave Loudoun enabling authority for the program last year, it required the county to return with an ordinance that shows how the program would work. In the process of drafting and adopting that ordinance, the county produced a program that it can use — and has used, in the rezoning for Ashbum Village, a planned 5,000home development east of Leesburg — under existing state law. “But for the legislation that was passed last year, we could have done what we’ve done under the existing enabling authority,” said Edgar A. Prichard, the Fairfax attorney Loudoun hired to draft its ordinance. If the county already has used the program in approving Ashbum Village, Sen. John W. Russell (RFairfax) asked, “Why do you have a bill here now?” Loudoun County Attorney Edward J. Finnegan explained that the ordinance contemplated last year differs from the ordinance adopted by the county for this year’s session.

Opponents of the bill argued that use of safety belts is a private matter that should be mandated by either the state or federal government. “If vou’re nassincr this law tn nla By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspaper* Staff Writer RICHMOND — Legislation to require use of safety belts in the front seats of all Virginia vehicles passed the House of Delegates by a 2-to-l margin Tuesday. The House voted, 66-33, to approve the bill, introduced for the fourth time by Del. J. Samuel Glassock (D-Suffolk), but not until it had added an amendment Del. Glasscock says weakens the bill. Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest (R-Fauquier/Rappahannock/Clarke/Warren) voted for the bill. Dels. Kenneth B. Rollins (RFauquier/Loudoun) and Thomas M. Moncure Jr. (R-Fauquier/Stafford) voted against it. The bill, which passed the House Committee on Roads and Internal Navigation last week, underwent a lengthy floor debate Monday, although few arguments were addressed to the principle of the bill. Most of the debate concentrated on floor amendments proposed to the bill, including one by Del. Clinton Miller (R-Woodstock), which would allow law enforcement officers to charge motorists under the new law only if they are charging the driver with violation of other traffic statutes. The amendment passed by a 51-40 vote, despite Del. Glasscock’s opposition. “That means someone can ride down the road, minding their own business with the 55 mile limit, and not wear it,” Del. Glassock said later. “Let’s load this turkey up,” said Del. Guest, who doesn’t like the measure, but voted for it in committee and on the floor on Tuesday. Del. Glasscock and his supporters fended off other challenges to change the bill, including one to refer it to the House Courts of Justice Committee. That attempt, proposed by Del. George F. Allen (RCharlottesville), failed by a 34-54 vote. Another proposed amendment would have eliminated the $25 penalty for each violation of the law, but the House rejected that amendment. The House approved an amendment to clarify whether the any reference to seat belts or evidence that a driver wasn’t wearing one at the time of an accident could be used in civil lawsuits to reduce compensatory damages. The amendment makes .clear that such evidence and references would not be admissiable in court, even though the federal government is trying to require such evidence to be admissable, as part of its effort to force states to adopt mandatory safety belt laws. The amendment also ensures that someone can sue seatbelt manufacturers, dealers and anyone else responsible for defective safety belt systems, but it specifies that such litigation would have to be separate from lawsuits over accidents. The purpose of the amendments is “to have no impact whatsoever on personal injury law,” said its sponsor, Del. William P. Robinson (DNorfolk), a lawyer. Opponents of the bill tried to use the proliferation of amendments to discredit the legislation. Del. C. Richard Cranwell (D-Vinton) repeatedly told the House that ft was making a mess of the bill, which he predicted would be “an embarrasment to us” when it was complete. “We’re making sausage out of this thing,” he said. Jan. 13. • Pressure from the federal government, which will require all vehicles to have air bags unless state’s accounting for two-thirds of the country’s population adopts mandatory belt laws by April 1, 1989. The House committee approved the bill on Thursday after a joint public hearing it held with the Senate Transportation Committee, chaired by Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-Loudoun/Fairfax), who favors the bill. Testimony for the bill came from emergency room doctors, the Division of Motor Vehicles, the Virginia State Police and a man who said he might not be paralyzed today if he cate the federal government and to placate the auto industry, I submit to you that that is a poor civics lesson,” said David Denholm, a McLean resident who represented a group of motorcyclist who also oppose the requirement that they wear crash helmets when riding their cycles. The hearing also produced some unorthodox reasons for opposing the law. Denholm said it would reduce the number of available organs for transplants and that it might be enforced more harshly on bikers “than other more normal members of society.” Another speaker, Mary Curtis, said the next step could be to outlaw automobiles, an argument Del. Cranwell repeated on the House floor. • WHY WAIT FOR WEEKS? I GET AN EYE EXAMINA TION AND YOUR GLASSES IN A COUPLE OF HOURS ALL UNDER ONE ROOF! Ample Parking Late Hours By Appointment But when the amendments were done, Del. Cranwell attacked the bill as an unwarranted government intrusion into private conduct. “It doesn’t protect anybody else driving on the highway,” he said. “It’s a measure to keep you from killing yourself.” The law, if adopted, would not apply to rural mail and paper carriers, people with a valid medical excuse or taxi drivers. It would require that DMV stage a public education program before the bill becomes law. The legislation’s chances may have improved because of three things: • The endorsement of former Gov. Charles S. Robb, who ordered mandatory use of safety belts for all state employees driving state vehicles. • The endorsement of Gov. Gerald L.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1986 Editorial Coping The exciting series of workshops dealing with preventative mental health are a positive step forward in Rappahannock. What is being termed a ‘new direction” for the Mental Health Association will go a long way to help citizens in the community deal with issues that sometimes afflict not only themselves, but also friends and loved ones. Unfortunately many people continue to place a stigma on any program concerned with mental health. Attending workshops like these can, and often does, have the positive effect of letting people avoid crisis therapy — hence the “preventative” terminology. The subject of the first workshop, “Coping with the Winter Blahs,” is one that should appeal to a wide audience. Other topics to be explored in 1986 will include “Discipline and Children”, “Coping with Alzheimer’s Disease” and “Substance Abuse.”. According to Reverend Steve Scoggin, who is the association’s president, more workshops will be instituted if there is enough interest in the community. We hope that a large number of people support the Mental Health Association’s considerable effort by attending these potentially rewarding workshops.

Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner County budget time at hand 1 o the editor: Some of your readers will recal that at county budget time last year we did rather extensive analysis ol the proposed budget for 1985-86 and presented the findings in four reports, published in the News. Now, with budget-making time at hand again, it might be worthwhile to review those findings, with an eye to the county’s needs in the 1986-87 year: A look at the expenditure side of the budget revealed thqt total outlays — estimated then at $3.9 million for 1984-85 — had more than doubled in four years, but that much of the added outlay had been drained away by inflation. And, while the total was up by more than a fourth even after allowing for inflation, much of the money had gone into construction, rather than im provements in services. Some programs had fared well, apparently reflecting significant shifts in the community’s priorities in four years. Public safety — the protection of our persons and possessions — had come out a big winner. The percentage slice of total outlay going to the sheriffs office and jail had nearly doubled. Education had lost considerable ground, dropping from 73 percent of the budget total to 69 percent. Instruction outlays — salaries, teaching materials and the like — showed only a token rise of 4.6 percent in four years, after inflation. While other Virginia communities, with which this community must compete for good teachers, were hustling to catch up in the matter of teacher pay, Rappahannock barely managed to keep teacher’s pay in line with inflation. Result: For minimum teacher salaries, Rappahannock had dropped in four years from 74th among the 136 counties and cities in Virginia to 125th. For maximum pay, the drop was from 107th to 126th. Small wonder so many of our best teachers finally gave up after the 1984-85 school year and abandoned the system. Finally, a look at the revenue side of the 1985-86 budget revealed something about how willing we in Rappahannock County have been to spend income on education and other public programs rather than on private goods and services. Having acted years earlier to abolish its taxes on farm machinery, equipment and livestock, on merchants’ capital, machinery and tools, and on personal property except cars, Rappahannock was left with only one sizeable source of revenue under its control — the tax on real estate. Thus, the property tax rate had risen from 38 cents in 1982 to 50 cents, a jump of more than 56 percent. After allowing for inflation, however, that 50-cent rate had a purchasing power of less than 46 cents in 1982-83 terms. Moreover, in adopting Land-Use Valuation and exempting nearly a third of its landtax base, the county had given up the equivalent of nearly 11 cents in its rate. What it added up to: A property tax jump from 32 cents to 50 cents — while very real for property owners not protected by Land Use — was of negligible significance in providing needed improvements in education and other public services in our community. And, while some — not all — of the leading opinion makers in the county were bemoaning a “runaway property tax,” our neighboring communities had been outstripping us in their willingness to pay for those im- . provements: In 1984, when our tax' was held to 50 cents, the five adja cent counties were levying on real estate at rates ranging from 53 cents to 63 cents. The statewide county average had risen to 62 cents, roundly a fourth higher than ours. In the end, the supervisors raised the property tax rate to 58 cents — an act of considerable political courage that puts Rappahannock’s latest rate only moderately below the average of its neighbors. But note that all rates in ail our neighbor communities are being, or are about to be, imposed on current — that is, higher — land values. Warren reassessed last year. Madison is readying a reassessment now. Culpeper, Fauquier and Page plan reassessments next year. Moreover, all these adjacent counties levy a tax on machinery and tools, and all but one impose a tax on merchant capital. It is against this record and this resulting level of support for education and other public services that the new budget now being put together must be judged. (It is our hope that the plan proposed for 1986-87, when published, will for the first time be accompanied by some years of comparative .data and be presented in a format that can be read and easily understood by the Rappahannock taxpayers.)

Baliles biggest test? Although Gov. Gerald L. Baliles has been in office less than a month, it is clear that he faces fiscal challenges as daunting as any that have confronted a Virginia governor in recent memory. The reason for that is not difficult to understand. George Bowles The automatic meat-axe procedures established by the GrammRudman-Hollings amendment to the so-called Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 will generate across-the-board cuts in the federal budget for fiscal 1986. They are expected to reduce the amount of funds available to the states and localities by a staggering $1.2 billion, and that’s just the beginning. The cuts will deepen to even more draconian proportions as Gramm-Rudman, if left unchanged, propels the economy toward the .^.oped for balanced federal budget by 1990. Next year Virginia, according to the state’s Department of Finance could lose between $130 million and $400 million, depending on how the haggling between President Reagan and the Congress works out. Using the lower figure, Gramm-Rudman could hack $13 million out of the highway aid the state had expected in 1987, with the loss coming just when the governor was planning a major push to upgrade the state’s transportation system. Beyond that, however, social service programs such as day care and services for the elderly would lose about $13.4 million through 1987. Other programs which would suffer losses would be low-income energy assistance, $8.6 million; educational aid for the disadvantaged, $3.5 million; maternal and child health care, $3.4 million, and urban mass transit, $1.4 million. Del. Dorothy S. McDiarmid (DFairfax), chairman of the House Ap propriations Committee, called the entire Gramm-Rudman concept a “Rube Goldberg” contraption and certainly no way to solve the nation’s fiscal problems. Del. Bernard Cohen (D-Alexandria) said, “It mil trigger devastation in the state. There is no way we can pick up all those programs to be cut. In the short run this means chaos. In the long run, the effect is unknown.” That budget /or the 1986-88 biennium comes to a record shattering $18.5 billion, of which about 18 percent had been expected to come from the federal government. Paul W. Timmreck, the state’s director of the budget, warns that the loss of the federal funds, as serious as they will be in 1986, will be far worse in 1987, probably reaching the expected $130 million. But even that, he said, would be preferable to a situation in which the president would simply begin to cut programs now exempted. These might include medicaid, food stamps, Aid to Dependent Children and other child nutrition programs. Funds for Medicare, community health centers, veterans and migrants care are now partially protected from automatic reductions. According to Timmreck, Virginia would suffer most if the federal government turned Medicaid funds into block grants. If that happened then the state would have to pick up all the increases in medical aid to the poor. Under those circumstances, Timmreck said, Virginia could, indeed, be faced with $400 million in federal cuts with from 20 to 50 programs simply dropping out of sight. The president would, in effect, be broadening the base of services subject to reduction in federal funding. Baliles, to date, has earned high marks for his recognition of the problems facing the commonwealth and for his approach to solving them. How he deals with the challenges posed by Gramm-Rudman, however, will almost certainly be the major test of his administration. Like a giant iceberg, the legislation sits there, an implacable obstacle to many of his most critical goals as governor. And unless he can find a way to work around it, many of Baliles’ initiatives, commendable though they may be, can amount to little more than swabbing the decks on the Titanic.

The series of four workshops, to coincide with the seasons of 1986, are designed for the entire community and will be presented in non-technical language. “We want to provide educational events to enhance the mental health of individuals and families in this community,” explained Steven Scoggin, president of the Mental Health Associciation in Rappahannock. Mental health, he believes, “has an impact on health in general.” Reverend Scoggin said that preventative mental health will be the primary focus of the workshops which are, he says, “a new direction” for the Mental Health Association. The first workshop is designed for individuals who want to cope with depression and will cover such topics as dealing with grief. The identification of different types of depression will also be explored along with recognition of the signs and symptoms of this common disorder. Finally the workshop will attempt to help people cope creatively with depression. Lee Nettle, Clinic Site Supervisor of Family Guidance Services of Rappahannock County, will lead the workshop. “Coping with the winter blahs”, which is free and open to all members of the community, will be held on Tuesday, February 18, from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County Elementary School. Other topics in the series will include “Discipline and Children”, “Coping with Alzheimer’s Disease”, and “Substance Abuse.” The times for these workshops, still in the planning stage, will be announced later in the year.

Last week, those artists took Middle Street to its next evolutionary step, turning the gallery into a mon-profit artists’ cooperative. The 20. full time and associate members will hold the cooperative’s opening show, a celebration of Valentine’s Day, on Saturday, February 8, from 1 to f> p.m. Ait enthusiasts will have an opportunity to meet the artists and they can also shop for Valentine presents, choosing from a selection of inexpensive, one-of-a-kind cards, small paintings and other gifts of the heart. “The Seed catalogues sprout new plants Gardening has become the number one outdoor leisure activity of Americans. Each winter gardening enthusiasts eagerly await the arrival of the rush of seed catalogues and plant lists. These catalogues and plant lists always contain a new plant, or two or three, that one can't live without. The staff of the American Horticultural Society compiled a list of new plants for 1986 that they simply can’t live without. They want to share these exciting new plants with other American garden lovers. Northern gardeners will delight in two new Rhododendron cultivars, one of which is hardy to -15 degrees f arhenheit. The other can survive a bone-chilling -45 degrees. Individuals with water gardens will be delighted by two beautiful tropical water lilies that are new to the market this year. Gardeners with shady areas will want to try a new mixture of outstanding impatiens cultivars that have stood the test of time. Tree-lovers with a minimum of space may want to try Whitehouse, a small-size tree that is closely related to the popular Bradford pear. For those who enjoy tasting the fruits of their labor, there is a succulent new strawberry, an outstanding new raspberry, a super-sweet corn, and a variety of vegetables. To get a copy of the AHS staffs list of what’s new in the world of plants this year, and for information on sources of these new plants, send $1 along with your name and address to: NEW PLANTS FOR ‘86, P.O. Box 0105, Mount Vernon, VA 22121. You will receive a copy of the February American Horticulturist magazine in which the article, “New Plants for 1986,” appears. The article lists the new plants and gives detailed descriptions complete with color photographs. The American Horticultural Society is one of the nation’s leading not-for-profit gardening organizations for both amateur and professional horticulturists. Membership benefits include: The American Horticulturist magazine and newsletter, access to the Gardener’s Information Service, discounts on gardening show will be very creative and wild, full of sumptuous textures,” promised Ms. Marshall. The artists’ cooperative will continue regular exhibitions, the same showcases for local talent from the Northern Piedmont begun by Dan Lewis. Educational programs are also planned. “And we’ll have a slide registry available,” noted Mr. Lewis, who will stay with the gallery as a co-op member. “People can come in here and look at the work of various artists. If they’re interested in commissioning a portrait, a landscape or a painting or drawing of their home, the slide registry will give them ideas on an artist to fit their particular project. It’s a lot easier than driving a couple hundred miles to visit a dozen studios scattered around four or five counties.” Artists are generally pictured as unrealistic dreamers — starving, unrealistic dreamers. The Middle Street Cooperative members are a new breed. They’re certainly artists, as evidenced by the impressive list of past exhibitors of their work: the Tampa Museum . in Florida, the Second Street Gallery in Charlottesville, the Museum of Culture and History in West Virginia, the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, Washington D.C.’s Franz Bader Gallery, Baltimore’s Winter Mart, New York’s Lincoln Center, American embassies in Moscow and Liberia, the Virginia Museum, the Corcoran Gallery, the International Museum of Photography, the Southeast Center for Contemporary Art, Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Art Festival and the Times Square Show in New York. They’re certainly dreamers, books, an annual Seed Program which offers rare and exotic seeds, and invitations to Annual Meetings, lectures, tours, and special events at the Society’s River Farm headquarters.

But they are realists and they don’t want to starve. “We have to be very creative to figure out how to do our art and live, too,” said Ms. Marshall. “This cooperative is not just a chance to pool our artistic ideas but an opportunity to share promotional ideas as well. Each artist has a set of networks out in the real world. This is a way to connect all those different networks. We want to establish a regional identity,” she explained, adding that the cooperative will promote its member artists to museums and galleries, traditional buyers of fine art, and to corporations, the newest major market on the art scene. “Money. That’s a big impetus behind this cooperative effort,” interjected Joel Hoyer. “Not that we expect to become millionaires or even change our lifestyles. We just want to be able to keep our standard of living constant. When an artist makes money, it goes back into art and art supplies,” said Mr. Hoyer, who paints, sculpts, weaves baskets, makes jewelry — “whatever I feel like doing when I get up in the morning.” “Creating a gallery takes time,” Ms. Marshall continued. “You have to have name recognition. Middle Street has it now, thanks to the consistent high quality of the work Dan (Lewis) exhibited here. Our cooperative will build on this. ” . The Valentine’s Show which opens Saturday, February 8, with a public reception from 1 to 5 p.m., will continue through February 23. Regular gallery hours are 3 p.m. to 9 on Fridays, noon to 9 on Saturdays and Sundays. Artists interested in becoming full or associate members of the Middle Street Gallery Artists’ Cooperative should contact Dan Lewis at 675-3063 or Laurie Marshall at 5JL734-05.

But then I spotted a smaller sentence underneath the company's name. "We Do Windows" I wanted to stop the driver, get out, and offer congratulations if not hug his neck. "We Do Windows." You don't see that phrase on many cleaning- • service trucks, and you don't hear it from the lips of many people. What we usually hear is "We DON'T do windows." It has become a slogan that summarizes too well our society. Because "doing windows" (washing and cleaning them) is hard work. vet it is one of the most important jobs in life, both literally and figuratively. Windows in the house need cleaning from time to time; and, windows of the soul need daily cleaning or we end up seeing life totally out of perspective. Everything becomes blurred, and we get wrong signals about people and life. Cleaning windows gives focus, enabling us to see what life, love, duty and responsibility are all about Plus, it simply feels" good when you can see through clean windows. Real people do windows. And doing windows make people real. COURTESY CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH-DODGE, Inc. ' nnitia ! Sales Service i , 727 N.

School and Sport RCHS students complete proficiency test I> .. I\T.in/\r» a v* .. _ Kappahannock News Special Writer Nine Rappahannock County High School students were awarded certificates for successfully completing a statewide spelling proficiency test sponsored by the Future Business Leaders of America. 1 he winners of the first spelling test were Stephanie Oliver, Wendy Burke, Molly Ubben, Debbie Pullen, Angela Williams, Kim Helmer, Teresa Eppard, Sharon Compton and Sharon Brown. Stephanie Oliver, Kim Helmer, Molly Ubben and Sharon Compton w ent on to successfully complete the second and third tests, said Mrs. Patricia Clarke, who is the FBLA sponsor. "The main purpose of the FBLA is to give its members a better understanding of the business world and, as the name implies, to produce better business leaders,” explained fellow sponsor. Miss Dietrich Scott. “Students who have at least three credits of business courses are eligible to join. The members are active with community activities. VNe're going to be working with the Heart Foundation and we worked with the Virginia Leukemia Foundation by having a type-a-thon in December,” Miss Scott said. "FBLA is the high school version of Phi Beta Lambda fratemity/sororitv on the college level. They do ba'ically what the FBLA does except on a much broader range,” she explained. FBLA members had different reasons for joining the organization. Teresa Eppard felt that “FBLA helps prepare business students for what to expect in the business world after graduation. Our meetings give a general idea of what it is like working in a business setting.” Sharon Compton will be attending the Katherine Gibbs Business School and feels that “being a member of the FBLA will look good on my references." Debbie Pullen will be majoring in education upon graduation but considers that being a FBLA member enables her “to meet a lot of people by going to different schools to see how their clubs work.” Molly Ubben, a senior, is in her third year of typing and believes that her membership will be “a good - opportunity to learn more about the business world.” “Information was sent to us from the Richmond office about the spelling contest,” Miss Scott said. “We gave interested students a list of 150 words and definitions to study a week before the test. The day of the test Mrs. Clarke and I called out 50 of the words and the students Wrote them down. Twenty-three students took the test and nine of the 23 spelled all of the words correctly.” “The nine finalists were given the'next 150-word list and after a week were given a second test. Four students successfully completed the test so they were given the third test which followed the same procedure. Those four mastered the third test, also,” said Miss Scott. Finalist Stephanie Oliver commented, “I decided to try the tests because I thought it would be a challenge and I’d learn a lot, too.” Miss Scott said the reason the state offered this contest to the school was “to help the students increase their spelling vocabulary. Also understanding the definitions will help in other subjects.” According to Miss Scott, “The FBLA office also wanted to get the' students into the feel-of competing. This is a preparation for the regional and the national exams which come up this spring. The students may compete in several different areas including Business/English, Accounting, Data Processing, Typing, Office Tech., and Shorthand.” The FBLA members accumulate points for their chapter by participating in competitions such as the spelling test, and school and community projects. The state and national organizations grant awards according to the number of points accumulated. Wakefield Students to participate in first national math contest By HELEN RUISI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer A group of nine Wakefield School students in the seventh and eighth grades are preparing to participate in the Math Counts contest to be held at Lord Fairfax Community College later this month.

The theme for the contest is Number Theory; questions asked will be be yond the normal scope of seventh and eighth grade students and thus will check the reasoning ability of the entrants. Following the local division of the contest, winners will proceed to the state and national levels. The winners at the national level will earn a trip to Cape Canaveral.

With the addition of Wakefield’s two losses this week ■Against Woodberry Forest and St. James, the Owls have lost five of their last seven games, lowering Wakefield’s record to 6-7. In the first game of the week, Wakefield hosted Woodberry For- ' est, a team that Wakefield had defeated by 32 points earlier in the ; season. However, this encounter with the Woodberry team was nothing like the first. Despite a slow start by Woodberry, Wakefield was . unable to hold on to a nine1 y>omt « lead, losing in overtime 51-45. ; As the game began, Wakefield ; had little trouble with the younger - Woodberry team. And, by means of - a second quarter surge where Wake- I field scored 14 points, the Owls held : leads of nine points before closing : the half with 21-14 advantage. However, with the start of the second half, Woodberry scored eight ■ straight points to take a 22-21 lead. By the period’s end, Wakefield had : been outscored to 20-13 in the third quarter, which tied the game at 34 all. In the final quarter, both teams struggled offensively, as each team could muster only seven points. During the three minute overtime period, Woodberry outscored the Owls 10-6 en route to their 51-45 victory. In the second game of the week, Wakefield hosted the St. James team which held a distinct advantage in size. As the game commenced, St. James utilized their advantage to dominate the Wakefield players around the basket. As a result of St. James’ scoring ability inside, the Saints jumped to a 32-15 lead at the half. In the second half, St. James had little trouble continuing to overpower Wakefield as they allowed the Owls to score only four points in the third quarter. Although Wakefield managed to keep up with their opponents in the fourth quarter, St. James emerged with a 64-33 victory. This week Wakefield has scheduled matches against RMA and Rappahannock High School. 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.

We need to address it right away,” he said. The game commissioners responded to Mr. Dyer’s testimony with a promise to take steps to address the “hoodlum hunter” problem this year. Representatives of sportsmen’s groups told the commission that the abusive hunters hurt legitimate sportsmen as well as landowners. “Once landowners are harassed by hunters, they’re much more likely to refuse permission to any hunter to use their land,” said Tom Bradley, president of the Eastern Virginia Coon Hunters Association. Mr. Bradley had attended the meeting to speak on another issue. After the meeting, Wayne Campbell, president of the Virginia Deer Hunters, agreed with Mr. Bradley. “Most deer hunters are sportsmen and gentlemen,” he said. “My organization is prepared to help with anything we can to stop the hoodlums who run up and down the road during deer season and give all hunters a bad name.” Mr. Campbell suggested that any deer hunter sharing his concern call his organization. Mr. Bankston said that the Virginia Game Warden Association will support any effort that the members agree will curtail abuses associated with roa<3 hunting. “Right now, it’s hard to get a conviction on a road hunting violation. The warden virtually has to see the shooting himself,” he said. Other sportsmen and citizens groups advocate a “cased gun” law that would require that firearms not only be unloaded but in a case until the hunter is in the woods. Andy Guest, Seventh Congressional District delegate, said in an interview at his Richmond office that a cased gun law is not scheduled for introduction in this session. He said that trespassers and road hunters are a problem on his farm near Front Royal. “We police them ourselves when we can,” he said, “ using walkie-talkies and farm vehicles.” Mr. Guest acknowledged that constant policing during hunting season is not a practical solution fi>r the average landowner. “I suggest that anyone worried about this problem take whatever legal action they can. Also, let your commissioner know that you want to put a stop to hunting abuses,” he said. Mr. Guest said that he had agreed to help sponsor a bill requiring education for new hunters before issuing a license. “So, we’ll help on that front,” he added. John Butcher, assistant attorney general and legal counsel to the game commission, said that any legal solution to the hoodlum hunting problem would have to come from the legislators. “Of course, the support of the game commission would carry a lot of weight,” he said. Meanwhile, the citizens involved are optimistic about the commission’s response. “I’m tickled to death,” said Mr. Dyer. He said that anyone interested in joining with the Culpeper mothers could reach the fledgling organization through him. “My strong motivation, besides ending the fear and intimidation, is in making sure that future generations will be able to hunt in Virginia,” he said. He added that most hunters were becoming afraid of hunting on public lands as they become more saturated with hunters. “But this may be our only option if all private landowners post their land,” he said. Robert Dennis, who was in Richmond to appear before the commis sion on other business, said that he was delighted with the commission’s response. As president of the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC), he has been advocating some sort of legislative solution to the hunting problem for several years. “To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that the commission has ever publicly acknowledged a problem with hunters’ behavior,” he said. “Politically, it’s a difficult matter for them.” He praised the commissioners, in particular Mr. Thomas, Mr. Fahnestock and Fifth District delegate Thomas Leggett, who also spoke out against statewide hunting abuses. Mr. Dennis referred to recent polls in The Rappahannock News and The Fauquier Democrat that showed that most rural people support the idea of hunting but are worried about the small minority of hoodlums. He added that those who are harassed by abusive hunters must find the courage to step forward. “This is one of our problems, and a big one,” said Mr. Dennis, a Rappahannock landowner. “People who are threatened by hunters, especially women at home with small children, fear that any action on their part will be met wtih retaliation. In many cases, their fears are well founded, but without complaints and legal action, we can’t do anything about the problem.” “There’s no way that I would be publicly linked with this effort,” said a Rappahannock woman whose road is blocked by road hunters during deer season. “These people are vindictive — they might do something to hurt me or my children. I’m even afraid for my dogs.” Mr. Bankston acknowledged that, although the woman’s property was the scene of spotlighting abuses, he had never been notified by her or her husband. Another woman from the other end of Rappahannock County had her mailbox shot up as soon as the hunters she had complained about saw Mr. Bankston leave her property, the warden said. “We’re not dealing with the typical rural deer hunter here,” he added. Rappahannock residents concerned about hunting abuses and worried about retaliation can still support the Virginia Game Wardens’ Association and PEC in their legislative campagins, said Mr. Dennis. They can write the PEC office in Warrenton with a signed description of abuses on their land; they can write their commissioner supporting his recent statements; they can write their delegates; or they can call the organizers of MASH. And the Virginia Game Wardens’ Association, represented locally by Mr. Bankston in Woodville, would like to hear from citizens and receive a copy of their correspondence to other organizations regarding hunting abuses. Sportsmen and citizens who are not intimidated can attend the game commission meeting on March 21 at its office in Richmond to hear the report of the law enforcement committee. It is expected that the date of the public hearing will be set during that session.

Tax benefits for volunteers As the year-end approaches,, volunteers may ,need to be reminded about tax benefits available to them under the general charitable contribution deduction of the Internal Revenue Code. Types of expenditures volunteers may wish to deduct include: Direct gifts of money Automobile mileage and expenses Parking and tolls Special uniforms required for their volunteer job Telephone bills Costs of meals and lodging if away overnight Entertainment and meals given to others Travel expenses above per diem allowance Tickets to charity benefits, above intrinsic value , Postage and duplicating costs Items for which a volunteer receives reimbursement may be deducted only to the extent that actual expense exceeds the amount of reimbursement. Automobile-related expenses may be deducted either at a standard rate or an actual expense basis (gas and oil, etc.). For the 1985 tax year, the federal mileage rate for volunteer drivers is .12 cents per mile, while Virginia’s state tax code allows an .18 cents per mile deduc tion. When filing for these deductions, the individual should claim the first . 12 cents per mile on the federal form, and then the remaining .6 cents per mile on the state form. In general, the following requirements may apply to the above deductions: — Must be the amount actually paid during the taxable year, not just a pledge. — Must be made to a qualifying organization. — Must be actual out-of-pocket amount, i.e., if a banquet ticket is bought, the deduction is the amount in excess of the actual value of the meal. — Must be recorded. The volunteer should know the name of the organization to which the contribution is made, amount and date of each contribution, and the method of valuing in-kind gifts. — Where possible, especially for large gifts, a statement of donation should be obtained from the donee organization. The deductions described here can be taken by volunteers who itemize their deductions as well as those who take the standard deduction. Individuals should check with their own accountants to clarify any situation. IRS publication #526 provides a complete description of federal tax deductions for volunteers.

ovaujt , t CIMUUI > VJ, I ,'UVI 6Smokey’ visits RCES with fire danger warning Ihe coming of fire season brought Smokey the Bear and Buck Kline, area Forester for Rappahannock, Madison, and western Culpeper counties, to the Rappahannock County Elementary School on January 28. Students Daniel Hitt, Amy Hathaway, Derek Daczewitz, and Jennifer Sealock assisted Mr. Kline in playing a game which helped the kindergarten through third grade students realize the hazards of fire and understand fire safety rules. “Twelve thousand acres were burned in Virginia last year,” said Mr. Kline. He discussed several ways to keep this situation from repeating itself. He said not to burn on windy or dry days, to use a lid on burning barrels, to extinguish campfires with water and dirt, to encircle the campfire with a ring of rocks, and to keep matches on a high shelf — breaking them after use. “The trees and wildlife depend on us,” explained Mr. Kline, “but if a fire does start, don’t try to put it out yourself — call the fire department right away.” RCES luau Continued from page 1 and the room based on that theme. I thought about doing snow or snowmen for January but that gets to be boring. So I decided to reverse the roles and go for sunshine.” Miss Stoltzfus continued, “We started out making suns and hanging them from the ceiling of our room. I told the children that they would see snowmen and snowflakes up around the school, but our room was going to have sunshine! They loved the idea and bragged to other teachers about having sunshine in the room.” “Then we saw slides that were actual pictures of Hawaii. We wrote a page each week in our Hawaii book called ‘Hawaii Nei.’ That means ‘My Hawaii.’ The language is different from ours. The students really got caught up in that because it’s something different. They can go home and say, I know what a keiki is and the parents won’t know what it is. (It means child.) That was fascinating for them.” “My major goal was to have them realize that there is another world outside these mountains. The reason I chose Hawaii was because it was a place that I was familiar with and it was a place that I knew would motivate them.” Real estate transactions The following real estate transfers were recorded during the past week: George K. Miller and others to Reginald Lewis Frye, 9.7288 acres, Stonewall-Hawthorne District. $15,600. Relocation Corporation of America to Ronald L. Shectman and wife, 16.721 acres, Jackson District. $149,500. Fahim Qubain and wife to Robert M. Miller, 7.0120 acres, Jackson District. $14,004. Robert P.

Story hours for pre-schoolers continue at 10 o’clock on Wednesdays, February 12, 19, and 26. “I got feedback from the kids about what they liked and whatever it was I went with that idea," Miss Stoltzfus continued. “They really liked the stories that I told about my personal experiences in Hawaii. For instance, it rains for at least five minutes every day in Hawaii. Everyone told me to take an umbrella but I wouldn’t and I'd always get soaked.” The students had their own ideas about what they liked. Sally Lawler said, “I liked making our book with the Hawaiian words.” April Jolliffe “liked the dance.” Kristi Hudson enjoyed “bringing in things for the luau like bananas and kiwi.” Melissa Dodson was surprised that “the fish are all different colors there.” Nicky Magee liked “watching the slides because some of them showed the inside of a volcano. It looked like spider webs in it.” “From the very beginning I got a lot of parental feedback. By the end of the month the parents were ready to get this over with because their children were bouncing and all they wanted to know was about Hawaii. Then they started bringing things and telling me stories that they knew about Hawaii. I had one parent say her child came home and immediately wanted to look Hawaii up in the encyclopedia.” “They didn’t realize the size of the islands. On the map the islands appear tiny. So when they saw an actual picture of the island they said that couldn’t be right because it should be smaller.” “It was difficult for them to understand what an island was. In the slides I kept stressing the fact that there was water in every picture because water is so close wherever you * s NUGGETS OF TRUTH I 9 s *' Family Worship Center | 01 Washington, Va. § Taken From Wed.

When we become born again, God makes His home in us (John chap. 15 ? helps us to know this). § Let’s look at God s nature that abides I in us, God is a spirit (John 4:24) and the 3 part of him that abides in our spirit is called j| the Holy Spirit Galatians chap 5 vs. 22 § tells us the nature or fruit of the Holy Spirit, S please read that portion of scripture so you ^ S if will be able to follow along with us. £ 2 These fruits are in us for holiness so 5 that we can act like Jesus acts and so the £ if non-believer will see God in us and be 5 2 drawn to him. 3 £ Even though these fruit are abiding in J a us we must put them on the outside so the 5 9 non-believer can see God in us. if I were to 3 ^ wear my clothing on the inside of me, you j ™ could not see them, so I wear them on the ? y outside so you can see them So also we y J must clothe ourselves with these fruit of if 2 God so others can see it and pick our fruit ? 3 to help them in their own lives. y For too long we as Christians have if j, been bearing the fruit of the flesh (read ® y Galatians 5:19-21) and the world sees us 5* clothed with those things and are turned jl ? away from God 3 y The Bible tells us in John chap. 15 that £ if every branch that is not bearing fruit will be £ 2 taken away We cannot bear fruit unless 9 £ we abide in the vine. That is the way to be£ gin bearing good fruit or to begin bearing * SJ God s nature by abiding in the vine (read y £ John chap. 15) and letting the Bible, the 5 words of God abide in us, then others will ^ y see that fruit and be able to pick from our y ^ fruitful trees. 3 p In these last days we must bear good 5 9 fruit so that all will be drawn to Jesus y J through our lives.

After awhile they started noticing it for themselves. ” “I showed slides of actually looking down in an inactive volcano. My kids were oohing and aahing about them. 1 also had pictures of volcanos with lava coming out and steam coming up. After they saw both they were very excited.” Miss Stoltzfus concluded, “I put a lot into this unit but I don’t want credit for that because what I did I did for the kids. You give what you get and get what you give. I really think the kids gave me a lot. They gave me their smiles and their enthusiasm.” Building?

In order to get another grant the board must send a letter indicating a desire to have the program continued. Not all counties have the program; “it depends on the economics of the area,” said Dr. Cervera. He called the dental site, which is housed in a trailer equipped for dental practice, the “best one in the state.” He also highly praised the current dentist.
