J PAID CIRCULATION NOW Subjecl to ABC Audit 3,023 RAPPAHANNOCK HOUSEHOLDS 2,722 36TH Year, No. 7 The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 USPS 455580 18 pages THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13,1986 25 cents Rappahannock’s trash problem—time running out By DAPHNE HUTCHINSUN Rappahannock News Contributing; Writer “There are certain costs incurred in operating a landfill, no matter what the scale. No county can run one for under $100,000 a year. If you’re doing it for less, you’re not doing it right,” maintains Bob Lee, Clarke County administrator. ' Small, predominately agricultural Clarke County (popukjfcion 10,200) hauls its solid wastes to the Frederick Xounty landfill next door. And under that agreement, “we spend less than a third (of $100,000),” Mr. Lee noted. The experience in Clarke and recent developments in Loudoun County, which is negotiating for a regional resource recovery facility, show that alternatives to an every-county-landfill exist. These alternatives merit closer scrutiny, as time — and landfill capacity — run out here. / v Rappahannock’s privately owned and operated landfill on Clifton Clarke’s property near Woodville now measures its life expectancy in months. Local officials will have to decide soon, probably by April 1, where to dump the 5,000 tons of trash generated annually. There appears to be agreement on one point: opening a second dump site in the county is the least perspective attractive alternative. Regulations governing operation and maintenance will tighten over the next few years as landfills are brought into compliance with the recently strengthened federal Resource Conservation and Re-, covery Act, according to the Warrenton-based Piedmont Environmental Council, which in its monthly newsletter questioned whether waste disposal is an appropriate land use. The newsletter pointed out that as landfill regulations tighten, so will the squeeze on county coffers — and county taxpayers — to fund implementation of those regulations. Equally as important, citizen awareness of the environmental dangers posed by landfills, particularly on the potential for groundwater contamination, has heightened. Everyone recognizes the need to dispose of solid waste in a safe and convenient manner, but no one wants a landfill, no matter how carefully sited and operated, next door. Traditional practice questioned “More and more, the traditional practice of waste burial as a disposal method is being questioned,” said PEC president Bob Dennis, a resident of Rappahannock. “PEC believes small rural counties will find it prohibitively expensive to operate the kinds of landfills required by new regulations and that regional alternatives to landfills will become increasingly attractive. Since much waste will remain after even the most aggressive and creative waste reduction efforts, lessening the hazards by treating wastes — through incineration, neutralization or some other process — is vastly preferable to trying to contain the waste in or on the ground for the very long term.” Last fall, Rappahannock’s Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee echoed PEC’s conclusions, recommending “All solid waste should be transported out of the county and any operating landfill should be closed at the earliest possible date.” For the short term, the committee advised negotiating with another county to accept, by April 1, all of Rappahannock’s solid waste. If a county willing to accept Rappahannock’s trash cannot be found, then a contract should be negotiated immediately with Harrisonburg to take solid waste to the resource recovery T facility there for 11 months of the year, the committee recommended. For the month, in which Harrisonburg’s plant shuts down, trash should be taken to the landfill here. In the long term, the committee proposed contracting with jurisdictions that are now constructing resource recovery facilities and, at the same time, aggressively promoting a regional approach to solid waste management. Progress? The committee’s report was presented to the Rappahannock supervisors last fall. Reportedly, an unidentified county has agreed to accept Rappahannock’s trash at its landfill for two years at an unspecified cost. Rappahannock, in “aggressively promoting a regional approach to solid waste management,” has also asked the planning district commission to put the issue on its work program for the current year, but director Wayne Cilimburg notes that the planning district lacks money to undertake a comprehensive study. “We’re doing it on a catch-as-catch-can basis,” Mr. Cilimburg said. “We’re looking into alternatives for disposal, but we’re not. doing the full blown reContinued on page 11 Rappahannock News pboto/William Wesley Talbott THIS YEAR WILL mark the 50th Valentine’s Day 50 years together By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock News Staff Writer On February 10, 1936 the Reverend Homer Welch married Dora and Dave Gheen at the Methodist parsonage in then rural Fairfax. Last Monday the Amissville couple proudly celebrated their 50th wedding anniversay. The marriage has been successful, explains Dave, because of “hard work, love and respect for each other. ” “Boy, have we worked hard,” he smiles. They met by accident. When Dave agreed to deliver newspapers for a friend he met Dora at one of his route stops. The successful meeting led to a marriage that has given the couple seven children, 11 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. “We always had a close-knit family,” Dave explains, “we never had a problem with any of them —we always knew where they were and what they were doing.” “Within an hour we could contact any member of the family,” he says. “One of our sons is a minister in Fredericksburg,” says Dora with pride. Dave grew up in Vienna (“the 1930 census showed 913 people — today it’s 35,000”) and she in Bailey’s Crossroads. They raised their family there before coming to Rappahannock. To raise the large family both Dave and Dora had to work long hours. Dora describes herself as a housewife. “She’s always worked ^ hard,” says Dave, “and there’s never been a payday for her.” Dave worked as an Chrysler automobile mechanic from 1935 un' til he retired in 1980. “At times there was little money,” he says, “I would come home from work, eat supper, and go out into my shop and work half the night.” Dave kept an auto shop at the back of his house. “I did that six or seven days a week to make ends meet,” he reveals. The couple built their Amissville house, which they knew would become their retirement home, on weekends. “The children helped a lot building it,” says Dora. Their home is a comfortable place with two grandchildren, Amanda and David, keeping the couple busy. “Boy”, their part-Beagle, lies snuggled near the warm stove in the living room. Dora wonders where “Mitzy”, their cat, is hiding. “We usually have a couple of members of the family here,” says Dave, “at all times.” Dora and Dave are charter members of St. Matthews’ United Methodist Church in Vienna which they have attended almost every Sunday since services began in 1957. Each week they must leave their Amissville home very early as they are responsible for opening the church for the first service. A 50th anniversay celebration for the couple will be held at the church this June. “When the weather gets better,” explains Dora. “Last Sunday I told Reverend Wes Arthur that we are getting ready for our 75th anniversary,” smiles Dave, “he said to go for it!” ‘Changing Voices’ will explore the Southern Literary Renaissance By STELLA DEAN RICHARDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer Literature is a strange sort of mirror, discovering meaning behind coincidence and a sense of wholeness between seemingly unrelated parts. Good literature is replete with the undertones and undercurrents that always lie submerged beneath the ordinary and that tie all events to the universal and archetypal experiences of human life. These experiences are what William Faulkner has called “the problems of the human heart”. Good literature is what the upcoming program of book lectures, entitled “Changing Voices,” is about. The program will meet five times in March and April to discuss books by four well-known southern authors. Before the lectures dinner will be served at Brambles Cafe in Washington. The dinners, which are a major part of the event, will be served at a reasonable cost. The lectures are free and open to the public. During the program, themes will be explored, nuances uncovered and symbols examined. Why, for example, is William Faulkner’s “twicebloomed” wisteria such a haunting symbol for the South? And what is the meaning of the theme of sins coming home to roost, as so relentlessly portrayed by Robert Penn Warren? “Changing Voices” is the second — and last — program of book lectures in the Southern Reflections series that has been sponsored by the Fauquier and Fairfax County Public Libraries. This series has been funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Rappahannock County is one of just a few Virginia counties to receive grants for more than one of the series’ three programs. Last spring,, the library presented the book lecture program entitled “Growing Up in the South.” “We all worked hard and they could see that we cared,” said Rappahannock Librarian Grace Sims of the reviewing committee. “We probably got the grant this time because our response to the first program was so enthusiastic. There were 30 or 40 people who came each time last spring,” Mrs. Sims explained. Bridget Bradley, director of the program, says acceptance of applicants is based on region and on the success of previous programs. In the case of Rappahannock, she cited “the unique approach of dinners and readings” as contributing to that success. The first lecture, on March 3, will be a keynote address by Dr. Edward Ayers of the University of Virginia. The university is known nationally for its literature studies which include programs involving southern literature. The following lecture, on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17), will be presented by Dr. Thomas Inge of Randolph-Macon College on one of William Faulkner’s first novels, “Sartoris.” The author’s prose is steeped in allegory and subtle references to ancient religious motifs and symbols. “My mother is a fish,” cries little Darrell over and over in “As I Lay Dying.” “Sartoris” is a good introduction to this author and begins the chronicle of the Sartoris family . The novel is filled with compelling characters including Aunt Jenny Du Pre, who, for fifty years, has told tales of her brother’s heroic efforts during the Civil War. The next lecture will be offerred March 24th by Dr. Jennifer Jordan of Howard University, on Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes Were Watching God.” Characters have names like “Sometimes” and “Tea Cake” and the dialogue is extraordinary. The book is considered by some to be the finest “black novel” written, according to Doris Grumbach of the “Saturday Review.” The fourth lecture will be on April 7 by Dr. Ann Fisher, also of the University of Virginia. She will speak on Eudora Welty’s “The Golden Apples.” This book is a collection of seven interrelated stories that are as much about a place as any particular person. The place and the people there are nearly the same, a theme recurrent in many of the romantic novelists like Thomas Hardy, Emily Bronte — and even William Faulkner. The town in “The Golden Apples” is Morgana, Mississippi, where the apples are as golden as those thrown by Hippomenes in his race to win Atalanta. Venus had given him the apples in vindication against the beautiful Atalanta, who had chosen celebacy over marriage — which of course is a ritual over which Venus presides. The marriage was both fated and fatal, and Atalanta and her new husband, who neglected to thank Venus, were turned into beasts. The heavy theme of fate and of natural law is as strong in “All the King’s Men,” which is the last book in the program, as in “The Golden Apples.” “All the King’s Men,” by Robert Penn Warren, will be discontinued on page 18 they* could°rked hard car4d.’ d «*» that and we Grace ^hrarlan — Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News » NEW ENGLISH TEACHER Eleanor Katz. Katz is new seventh grade teacher By DEBORAH FLINCHUM . Rappahannock New* Special Writer The seventh grade English teaching position was left open when teacher Aney Massie was granted sabbatical leave in order to go to James Madison University to work on her credentials in library science, according to Rappahannock County Elementary school principal Mrs. Maggie Piper. Mrs. Eleanor Katz filled this position in January. “I received my bachelor and masters in elementary education from Old Dominion University in Norfolk. I also have a minor in library science,"stated Mrs. Katz. “I taught seventh grade English in Suffolk for five years. The school I taught in before was not departmentalized like this one. We don’t have bells as frequently here so sometimes I don’t quite know what time it is. But I’m getting accustomed to that now. “My philosophy of teaching is you get what you expect from a child. If you accept mediocrity then mediocrity is what you’ll get. If you demand excellence, excellence is what you’ll get,” Mrs. Katz continued. Although I ve only been here a very short time I have seen proof of my philosophy working already. The children are improving tremendously. I’m very proud of them.” “By the end of the year I sincerely hope that my students can write a coherent paragraph. It’s hard for them because I’m making them rewrite. We give the children a chance to edit. They have self editing, peer editing, revision, teacher revision, and if they want parent revision, that’s fine. By the time they turn in a piece of work they have become very familiar with it. They have become familiar with their own failings that they need to improve on. So it’s very individualized and it’s also teaching “stick-to-itivensess.” The finished product is so much better than that first draft,” Mrs. Katz explained. Continued on page 11 Sabbatical leave policy “This is the first semester that the sabbatical leave has been available^. Mrs. Aney Massie is the first person to be granted a sabbatical,” explained elementary school principal Mrs. Maggie Piper. “The sabbatical leave policy is for the purpose of professional study by members of the staff. The maximum period of leave is one school year or the equivalent. The percentage or number of staff that can be on leave at the same time will be determined by the budget for that year,” Mrs. Piper continued. ‘Teachers must have three years of local service on our school staff to be eligible for sabbatical leave. They receive fifty percent of their salary while on sabbatical,” she said. “The following year they would advance normally on the salary scale. We will give them a similar position upon their return. They are not guaranteed the same position,” said Mrs. Piper. “They do obligate themselves to serve three years in our division after the sabbatical or make suitable arrangements to repay the debt that incurred in giving it to them,” she said. Teachers must file their application by January 1 preceeding the year that they want to take the sabbatical. It is granted if a suitable replacement can be found for the employee. The sabbatical leave committee includes two teachers, an adminContinued on page 11

JVews of Record General District court In General District Court this week, Judge William Carson found Cary Lee Deffenbaugh of improper driving. The incident occured on January 11 on Route 522 when Mr. Deffenbaugh’s 1973 Ford sedan hit a 1982 Buick. The driver of the Buick was apparently slowing down to avoid a postal car; Mr. Deffenbaugh, who was behind the Buick, accelerated his vehicle with the intention of passing it. He said that he did not see the postal car ahead of the Buick. When he tried to pass the Buick, he hit the car twice. Damages to his car were, according to Trooper Rufus Baines, about $200 while dam age to the Buick was $800. Mr. Deffenbaugh was fined $50 plus court costs. He has originally been charged with improper passing. Christopher Thomas Hitt, in another case, was charged with reckless driving. The incident occurred on January 25 when Trooper Baines was called to the accident site on Route 642, south of Route 611. Mr. Hitt was coming over a snow hill when he could not stop his vehicle and he hit another vehicle as he tried to gain control of his car. Trooper Baines said that he thought Mr. Hitt’s declared speed of approximately 40 miles per hour was excessive for the conditions. Judge Carson disagreed with Mr. Hitt’s contention that the accident “could not be avoided.” He lowered the original charge to improper driver and fined him $50 plus court costs.

This is the time of the year that many tree-topping services advertise and calls come into county Extension agents. There are several reasons given for this practice of grinding our trees into oversized hat racks. None of which is valid. One reason is the fear that a falling limb will damage the house. There are several options for homeowners with this fear. They can replace the tree with a more suitable, smaller tree, lighten the load of the larger limb by removing some branches or use bracing and cabling techniques to provide supplemental support. Topping does not increase total shade, a common misconception that also leads to tree-topping. New growth behind cuts is very dense and weak. It reduces air flow, making an ideal breeding-ground for insects and diseases. It also causes increased limb breakage in stormy weather. Sawing large limbs off a tree leaves large, open wounds. These wounds rarely heal properly. They always cause moderate to serious injury, drastically reducing the life of the tree. Castleton Fire Department.

1986 General Assembl ■ House approves tougher lest level ^m^haelmartz RICHMOND — A law to make conviction of drunken drivers easier passed the House of Delegates by a 3-to-l margin Tuesday, but the law’s chief patron warned drunken driving activists to “cool the rhetoric” after the new law is enacted. The legislation would lower the blood alcohol level necessary for automatic conviction of drunken driving — the per se doctrine — from. 15 to .10. Any evidence other than a blood or breath test is not admissable in court. The only defense is to challenge the validity of the test. (A blood alcohol level of .10 is enough to convict drunken drivers now, but pot without giving them the right to present evidence to refute the charge.) The bill’s passage by the Senate is almost assured, because the Senate already has passed an identical bill, by a vote of 36-2-2. The House bill also has the official blessing of the Baliles administration and the patronage of Del. C. Richard Cranwell (D-Roanoke), an influential lawyer and legislator who guided the bill out of the hostile Courts of Justice Committee on Sunday and through a 2’/2-hour debate on the House floor Tuesday. But Del. Cranwell, responding to charges by the bill’s opponents that drunken driving activists won’t be satisfied with the change, spoke to spectators in the gallery and asked that organizations lobbying for tougher drunken driving laws ease their public pressure to allow government and the public “to take stock” of efforts to curtail drunken driving on state roads. Its time to cool the rhetoric now,” Del. Cranwell said. He fought off four attempts by the bill’s opponents to amend the measure on the House floor. Dd. Clinton Miller (R-Woodstock), also a lawyer, proposed to amend the per se law, first enacted in 1984, to lower the blood alcohol level to .05, which Del. Cranw.ell dismissed as a political maneuver to gut the intent of the bill. “I know a shad treatment when I see it,” Del. Cranwell said. Ihe next attempt to amend the hill jivas made bv Del.'V'/Thpinas Forehand Jr, (D-Chesapeake), a lawyer who tWikd to eliminate the per se concept from state law entirely. He claims it is unfair and possibly unconstitutional because it deprives defendents of the opportunity to present evidence on their own behalf in court. “We should not take away our judges’ only tool for being just and fair in dealing with drunk drivers . . . ,” Del. Forehand said. He claimed the law is “politically driven,” and Del. Cranwell didn’t deny it, responding that politics are the tool of popular representation. House Majority Leader Thomas W. Moss Jr. (D-Norfolk), a lawyer who fought the bill in committee, joined Del. Forehand in opposing the per se concept. “Either go back to a system of justice that goes back to trying cases on an individual basis or kill the bill,” he said. After the House killed Del. Forehand’s amendment, Del. William P. Robinson (D-Norfolk), another lawyer, tried to amend the bill to ensure that the police officer who makes the arrest doesn’t administer the test, or the results couldn’t be used as evi B EDUCTION Of Our Low Discounted Prices • Beer e Wine • Soda • Tobacco • iCIgarettes e Cleaning, laundry Supplies e Automotive e House* wares e Paper Goods e Pet Foods Clothing e Shoes e Paint & Accessories e Health & Beauty Aids m Soap e Detergents • Dairy e Eggs e peats e Coffee e Tea • Spices e Cereals e Produce • Bread e Crackers e Cookies e Canned Goods e Frozen , Foods e Snacks • Batteries AND MUCH MORE *$5.00 Minimum Purchase dence to presume guilt. The final amendment was made by Del. Theodore V. Morrison (DNewport News), also a lawyer, who proposed that people accused of drunken driving couldn’t be convicted if they followed a chart that Del. Cranwell distributed showing the ratio of drinks, time and body weight necessary to produce an alcohol level of. 10. Although much of the debate dwelt on technical issues familiar to the lawyers who argued each side, the heart of the discussion rested on the per se concept itself. “There is no other area of the law . . . where you go into court knowing that you’re going to be convicted,” Del. Robinson said. “A vote against this bill is a vote for fundamental fairness.” said Del. Robert W. Ackerman (D-Fredericksburg), “and I ask you to vote for fairness and not political expediency and hysteria.” “Do not take away from your constituents and mine their perception that they are entitled to their day in court,” said House Minority Leader Raymond R. “Andy” Guest i (R-F auquier/Rappahannock/Clarke/Warren). Although several of the voice votes on amendments were close, the final vote was overwhelmingly in , favor of the measure, 76-23, with one delegate not voting. ' Dels. Kenneth B.

Del. Morrison questioned whether the lawyers on the committee ethically could vote on the bill, even though they had just voted to kill a series of other drunken driving measures and dozens of other bills during a series of meetings over the weekend. Del. Cranwell asked members simply to vote their conscience. Del. Cranwell’s bill is not the only major drunken driving legislation before the legislature, but it has the best chance to survive.

The vote Friday to approve Sen. Madison E. Marye’s bill was 30-9. Marye (D-Montgomery) introduced the bill to reduce the number of teenagers who use tobacco. The legislation would make selling tobacco, including smokeless products, to someone known to be under age 18 a Class I misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. The bill exempts cigarette vending machine owners as long as the machine carries a posted warning that purchases by minors are illegal. By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICHMOND — After weeks of precarious survival before a state Senate committee, a controversial mobile homes bill escaped and went to immediate defeat on the full Senate floor this week. The Senate voted 30-9 against the bill, which was introduced by Sen. Richard J. Holland (D-Isle of Wight) and championed by Sen. Kevin G. Miller (R-Fauquier/Rappahannock/Page/Rockingham.) Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun/Fairfax) and William A. Truban (R-Fauquier/Clarke/Warren/Shenandoah) voted against the bill, which would have prevented local zoning ordinances from prohibiting “double-wide” mobile homes on agriculturally zoned land within their jurisdictions. Sen. Miller and other supporters of the legislation said 13 counties prohibit the houses, which are not mobile once they are trucked to their sites, and more than 30 require special use permits for them. They want double-wides treated the same as conventional housing built on the site. They say zoning restrictions deprive people of decent, affordable housing. The manufactured housing industry also lobbied heavily in favor of the bill. Opponents of the bill included a host of local officials and the Virginia Association of Counties, which said the bill would usurp local zoning authority. The legislation had been pending for almost a month before the Senate Committee on Local Government, which killed it once, but agreed to reconsider an amended version. The new bill softened the mandate on local governments by allowing them to limit the mobile homes to designated areas within the jurisdiction, although they could not prohibit them entirely or place “unreasonable” restrictions on them. The amended bill passed the committee on Thursday, when Sen. Waddell switched his vote in favor of the bill. “I still have some misgivings about the bill,” he said later, “but it’s certainly preferable to the other measure.” The bill gave the Senate an op portunity to demonstrate a legendary political technique called “the shad treatment,” which means gutting the bill by rendering it useless with amendments. Sen. Wiley F. Mitchell Jr. (RAlexandria) did the honors by proposing an amendment that exploited the differences in construction standards between double-wide manufactured houses and modular houses that are allowed in many residential zoning districts around the state. His amendment would require the houses to conform to the statewide building code, which applies now to modular houses but not to pre-manufactured units like double-wides. Federal building standards apply to them. The amendment, which passed 21-17, would have forced manufacturers to build the houses to the state BOCA code. The industry claims that would raise the cost of housing and make it less competitive. The bill’s opponents say the manufacturers oppose it because it would force them to use a different type of financing for their customers. Commuter rail A Northern Virginia delegate says rail service for the region could begin this spring, thanks to support from the state House Appropriations Committee. David G. Brickley1 {D-Prince William) said the first train could be running by April 27.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13,1986 Editorial A time to give In recent months the American Red Cross has been pleading for people to donate blood. The supply has reached all time lows. A mis-guided fear that donors might somehow contract AIDS has slowed the rate of donations in recent months. No one can get this disease by giving blood. The needles are sterile. The lack of response has led to a near-crisis situation in many hospitals. The Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross, which includes Rappahannock County, has in the past set up bloodmobiles here. The response has been less than favorable. Last September the bloodmobile arrived in the county with a goal of 45 pints. 13 pints were collected. The chapter estabishes a bloodmobile in Fauquier County more often that it does here. On March 14 a bloodmobile will be set up at the Vint Hill Military Base. On the 27th of March the Red Cross will be at the fire station in Warrenton. This may seem like a long way to drive, but it is about the same distance many of us travel to buy groceries. Donating blood gives others life. The drive, the effort, seem worth it.

Rappahannock News phota/Qieg Tnraer Newspapers and Joseph of Egypt It is a good thing that The Wall Street Journal, -The New York Times, and The Washington Post were not leading newspapers in Egypt during the time that Joseph, who was, among other things, Secretary of Agriculture to the Pharaoh. For if they had been and had their editorials been heeded, the biblical stories of the seven fat years and the seven lean years would never have been written, and the wisdom and foresight of Joseph never have been noted. These three papers in our time persistently attack the farm program. The Journal, especially, which found little difficulty with the bail-outs of the Pennsylvania Rail-, road, of Chrysler, of major banks, is distressed over the prospect of significant government aid for the nearly 25 percent of the American farmers who are in trouble, victims of inflation, past and present, and of depressed farm prices, and the failure of a series of adminstrations’ sound fiscal and trade policies bearing on the agricultural economy. “There are too many farmers,” in any case, says one editorial. “And displaced farmers,” because they have managerial experience, continues the same editorial, can “more readily” find employment outside agriculture. “The world no longer needs American agricultural production” says another article, because the backward and low producing nations of the past (Mexico and India, they cite as examples) have improved their agriculture. This word would come as a surprise to the undernourished multitudes of both Mexico and India, and would cer tainly not be reassuring to the starving in Ethiopia. Even the Chinese who have come to the U.S. for grain, and the Russians, might lift an eyebrow or two over the article. The potential supercow — developed, by report, at Cornell University, is of great concern for the New York Times. This cow will, to the apparent chagrin of the Times, produce as much as 40 percent more milk than the average cow in production today. The Times sees a veritable tidal wave of milk flowing over the country despite the fact that the agricultural community and the country responded satisfactorily to the almost three hundred percent increase in milk production per cow in America between 1950 and today — from 5,300 pounds to nearly 13,000 pounds. These same critical papers fail to note that in the last 18 years of continuing serious inflation beginning in the year 1967, when the base went from 100 to more than 280 in 1985, that the index of what farmers received, relative to what they paid, was significantly above parity in ' only two years, and below parity, according to measures used in thirteen of those years. In Joseph’s time, these same papers not only would have assailed the high cost of the purchase and storage program, but they would have questioned the wisdom of.anticipating trouble seven years into the future, and especially, after the second or third year of good crops, when Joseph, according to the Scriptures, was gathering “com as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.” Along with generally deploring the costs of the farm program implemented by Joseph, there would also have been reports of inquiries by investigative reporters, probably followed by “Sixty Minutes” segments showing that some of the granaries were leaking. Undoubtedly rodent hairs would have been found, along with some droppings, perhaps in the bins. Maybe even some pigeon feathers. It would have been discovered that some grain had been stolen, and undoubtedly over the seven year period, some that had become moldy, and would have been thrown away. The criticism might well have stopped the collecting and storing of grain by the end of the fifth year, setting the stage for at least. two years of serious food shortages before the seven lean years ended — not only in Egypt, but in other countries as well, such as Canaan, adjacent to Egypt. If the grain had not been stored, and the famine years had come on, the same papers would have blamed Joseph, denounced him, for lack of foresight. Snow removal To the editor: Words of appreciation for the winter clean-up work of Doug Bywaters and his crews are long overdue. It is very noticeable that Rappahannock roads are cleared long before those in nearby counties. It is a comforting feeling to be awakened in the night to the steady roar of snow plows, knowing that the highway crews are out there for our benefit. Our thanks to Mr. Bywaters and his loyal helpers, we truly are grateful. BARBARA GENTRY Flint Hill. Letters Viewpoint on budget To the editor: As indicated by your “Letters to the Editor” section of February 6, county budget time is indeed once again at hand, and, as usual, with a drumbeat of foreboding statements concerning the salaries of the county’s public employees in the next county budget about which absolutely nothing is as yet known. But since the Platts and a member of the RCEA wish to get off to an early, anticipating start on this annual controversy, I will share a few things that are on my own miikL - Charles and Heleii Platt, last spring and in their (current letter, made several points, one of them valid and others, I think, of dubious validity. First, they admit that the adoption of Land Use Valuation in Rappahannock had a serious impact on the county’s tax base and ability to raise revenue. They further admit that LUV taxation inevitably involved the transfer of tax burden to property owners “not protested” by LUV since, as they say, the tax on real estate is the only significant source of local revenue now left. But the Platts choose not to draw, and act on, the obvious conclusions about LUV taxation — its inequity and the seriousness of its negative fiscal impact on the county.— considerations which spurred me to protest against it to the Supervisors in public meeting a couple of years ago. In spite of their own figures which they cited, the Platts apparently still would like to shrug off the consequence^ of LUV for education and other public Blue Ridge Echo What would you like to tell your Valentine?

How are banks and robbers similar? When you combine the American consumer’s passion for instant gratification and the banking community’s eagerness, for a price, to satisfy that passion, then the stage is set for a consumer np-off which would make Jesse James blush with envy. ^ referring, of course, to the runaway use oi bank credit cards and to the equally runaway interest rates which have become incidental to their use. J*16 problem Sot out of control in 1983, when the General Assembly, piteously lobbied by the teary-eyed banking industry, was persuaded to take the cap off credit card interest rates in order to allow the banks to charge interest on plastic credit comparable to that charged on other types of loans. Well, the going rate at that time for any kind of hired money came to 18-22 percent, thus such a charge for past due payment on the cards did not seem to be that much out of line. But what has happened since then? The rates charged on other kinds of loans have tumbled to just over 9 percent, but not on credit cards. The rate for them is still, but is not limited to, 18 percent. And not only that, but banks actually discourage their customers from reducing the balance due on credit card accounts. When the bill arrives, the customer gives it a quick glance to see what is owed. If payments have been made on a fairly regular basis, the cardholder may be puzzled to find the bill indicates no money is due. At first it might seem like a nice surprise. “Oh goody,” he might think, “I’m such a good customer they are letting me skip a payment!” Ha! Don’t you believe it. It’s just that the bank would rather have the 18 percent additional George ' Bowles interest you now owe on the payment than the payment itself. If you had sent them money, what could they possibly have done with it which would yield a return as large as the one they are already getting just by letting you run up the interest on your bill? Now, the banks also have a way of making a good thing better. If a person has an unpaid balance of, say, $10 at the end of a previous billing period, and charges $500 worth of merchandise during the current period, he may be dismayed to find that the bank has assessed him the 18 percent late penalty on his entire bill of $510. This, we find, is standard practice. Del. George Grayson of Williamsburg dropped a measure in the hopper during this session of the General Assembly which would have reimposed a cap on credit card interest rates. Under the Grayson bill, card holders could not be charged more interest than the rate the federal government pays on six-month Treasury Bills plus 6 percentage points. The current rate on the Treasury Bills is around 7.23 percent. The measure came before the House of Delegates Corporations, Insurance and Banking Committee last week, and once again the banking lobbyists were on hand with their tear-soaked handkerchiefs. In the main, to be sure, they were playing to aympathetic audience. Eleven membets of the 20 member committee reportedly have significant financial interests in banks or other financial institutions. They found little difficulty in passing the bill by until next year. At that time a review of the problem will be made as a part of a general study of interest rates in the state. In the meanwhile the bankers claim that the higher interest rates make sense because it gives them added security on what amounts to, in some cases, large unsecured loans. They also claim that in spite of high rates, they really only make about 2.2 percent profit out of their credit card operations. In fact, the banks claim that their margin of profit is so slim that, in spite of what would appear to be usurious interest rates, in order to make ends meet, they must also eharge merchants a 2 to 5 percent service fee on every purchase made. With a perfectly straight face, the banks maintain that this is something which merely helps defray their costs and does not contribute to their profits. What, pray tell us, is the difference? It’s the kind of thing a modern-day Jesse James would understand, even if no one else does! It is, I suppose, the difference between being stuck up by a six-shooter in your back, or by a little plastic card in your wallet!

Viewpoint on budget services in Rappahannock County. (I don’t recall either the Platts or any member of the RCEA appearing with me at the Courthouse to protest LUV taxation.) Instead, the Platts blame much of our “runaway property taxes” on the effects of inflation. In the double digit inflation days of Jimmy Carter and Gerald.Ford I might have been impressed’Somewhat by this argument but now, with low single digit inflation in Reagan’s administration [3.8 percent in 1985), the argument leaves me cold. It is almost on the same level as that of Professor Robert Eisner in last Sunday’s Washington Post who maintains that, if we take inflation into account, we are not really running gigantic federal deficits but are actually running surpluses! And surpluses are awfiil for the economy, he says. So, and, but — not to worry and forget GrammRudman! That the proposed Real Estate rax Rate last year represented a “runaway property tax” is clearly svident from a casual review of the past five county budgets, as Mr. Lane and I constantly told you all when the Supervisors at first considsred the higher rate. There is not a taxpayer in the County who has paid lis tax bill to Frances Foster in De:ember, 1985 and the preceding /ears (whether “protected” under LUV or not) who is unaware of this fact. After the Platts letter is printed me from Ronald Vickers of the RCEA. (Incidentally, the RCEA is 10 longer qualified to speak for Rappahannock’s public school teachers — if it ever was. To confirm this: :heck the number of teachers who ire currently members of the RCEA. And, at the same time, ask if die School Board still authorizes a anion — type check off of RCEA lues out of the salaries of teachers who are still RCEA members). Mr. Vickers, referring to local teachers salaries, states: “Rappahannock minimum salary )f $864 less than the average of sur rounding counties...”. Should anyone be surprised or distressed to learn that our minimum salary is under the average salary in surrounding counties? One final thought: those prematurely worrying about the salaries of school teachers in the coming county budget should save themselves the trouble. We have the same School Board this year as we did last year and last year this Board gave the teachers a 12 percent increase, I believe, when even Governor Robb only asked them to grant 10 percent and the Board did this in defiance of the Board of Supervisors. Governor Robb requested it, he said, to bring teachers’ salaries which median had been determined by allowing teachers’ unions in the state to our north and west to strike and force hundreds of thousands of school children into the streets at the start of each school year until the unions got what they demanded. And what they got through these tactics helped build the national median which concerned Robb so much. And now Governor Robb has proposed to the Assembly a blackmailing tactic of his own: that the Assembly mandate another 10 percent increase in each of the next two years and punish any School District for failure to approve it by taking away $146 in State Aid per school child! It is by no means certain that the General Assembly will approve this blackmail/extortion any more than they did for Robb when he suggested it befoi-e. Nor should they, for the Assemblymen are also aware that 99 our of 139 School Districts in Virginia in 1984-85 declined to grant the 10 percent increase Robb demanded. Peter the Great said, “I’ll make you do what I want even if I have to drag you along, kicking and screaming.” But the Governor of Virginia is not Peter the Great and the motto of this commonwealth makes the difference between them.

\ Arlene Frye — 4I just love children’ ARLENE FRYE IS skipper for a boatload of infants. By JANE COOPER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer There are those times when a person’s abilities and talents are so perfectly matched with their job that the job and the person become one. This is the case with Arlene Frye and the infant program at the Child Care and Learning Center. In fact, it is hard to imagine the program without Arlene. Although she has been working at the Center for five years, she has been raising children for more than 33 years. She was bom in the Conyers House in Slate Mills, one of eight children. She raised two brothers and one sister, and after she married had six children of her own. It was when her oldest son had gotten out pf the Army and came home that Arlene wtdjie decided that they would go job-nunting together. Sursum Corda had just established an infant care program, for children six weeks to two years old and had advertised for an aide; she interviewed for that job and was hired immediately. Camille Harris, who was then director, said, “What I could see was her sincere interest in domestic work which made her a good candidate for day care work. I was attracted to the idea that she had six children and when I asked her about her feelings for kids, she said, ‘I just love children.’ And that love just shines through her character. It became clear after a few months that Arlene was a woman who' didn’t know how to stop.” , i .. .“She had maturity, an abundance of common sense, sensible responses and a loving tenderness towards very young children,” Ms. Harris added. Arlene took charge of the infant program four months after she was hired and five years later, she is still there. Arlene’s roots are in the land; she was bom on a farm and spent most of her life tending the domestic side — gardening, cooking, splitting wood and watching children. What is hidden to many who know her is her avid interest in reading, and before Sursum Corda, her disappointment in not being able to finish high school. Once she started working in HONDA.

When the test scores arrived showing that Arlene has passed the exam, Ms. Harris says, “It was a wonderful and glorious moment.” Mary Tauss, the director of the Center, says of Arlene, “She is a very caring and gentle person with infants. Whatever schedule the baby is on is the one Arlene meets. In the older programs the scheduling is more regulated, but in the infant program, each baby determines his own.” Joan Platt, now the assistant to the director, began her career at the Center as a volunteer in Arlene’s room. She recalls being amazed by Arlene’s ability with the babies, remarking on how readily they responded to her. When asked if she could have any job, Arlene said, “I don’t think I’d be satisfied if I weren’t working with kids. My husband wanted me to work in a service station he started up several years ago, but I didn’t want to have to contend with grownups every day. Babies are great. It’s the one place you know you are truly needed and appreciated.” And though it may come as a surprise to her, there are many more grownups than babies who appreciate Arlene Frye. ---= Entertainment calendar • Feb. 13: Fourth of nine-part series “Possessions of Power: Presidential Furniture from Washington to Monroe,” Charles L.

When you buy a new home, you’ll have to decide what form of ownership you’ll want. The most common way for husbands and wives to own property is by joint ownership, either in the form of joint tenancy with the right of survivorship or tenancy by the entirety. Under either form, if one spouse dies, the other joint owner becomes sole owner of the property. This happens automatically, bypassing probate, avoiding delays and usually trimming the cost of settling the estate. The two kinds of joint ownership differ in some respects, and many states don’t recognize tenancies by the entirety. You may want to have your lawyer’s advice before you take title. He will probably point out some restrictions, such as one spouse not being able to dispose of the property held as tenants by the entirety without the other’s consent. If you live in a community property state, state law will affect the form of property ownership you use. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA 22747. Phone: 675-3400.

Business Davis named Driver of the Year 142149 Rappahannock News Photo/Greg Turner AVE DAVIS IS the first Driver of the Year. Dave Davis of Washington was named Driver of the Year for Crowder Transfer & Storage, which is agent for United Van Lines. Crowder President, Dorothy C. Coffey said, in a statement released with the $500 bonus check, “The award is one that I believe you richly deserve.” A committee of Crowder staff discussed various candidates and based their recommendation on reports from the dispatch, equipment maintenance, paper processing, claims, accounting, and the financial management departments. Mr. Davis was selected because he excelled in each of these areas of the company. He was also awarded a combined amount of $350 for his superior claims cost ratio and for his low liability percentage. Mr. Davis also has the distinction of being Crowder’s first recipient of the newly created award program. Home office deductions (W1 By Q. EARL YANCEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer If you use your home for business or bring work home from the office, are you entitled to a tax deduction for “home office” expenses? The tax law is quite explicit about what home office expenses are deductible and who can deduct them. Expenses are deductible only if you use a portion of your home exclusively and regularly as: (1) Your principal place of business for a given trade or business that you conduct, or (2) Your place of business where you meet or deal with customers, clients, or patients in the operation of your business. (Telephone contact is not enough to qualify.) The law interprets “exclusively” in a very strict sense. You must use the business portion of your home only for business; any personal use of that portion of the home will disqualify any home office deduction. For example, a “home office” cannot double as a guest bedroom or a sewing room. Carrying on investment activities at home will not entitle you to a home office deduction unless you are considered a “trader” in investments. Two exceptions to the exclusive use rule should be mentioned. One exception is for those who provide licensed day care in their homes. The other allows a deduction for expenses connected with inventory storage when the home is the sole \vcation of a retail or wholesale sales business. Home office expenses of an employee must satisfy the same exclusive and regular use tests and, in addition, the use of the home office must be for the convenience of the employer. ' What expenses are deductible if SCC to consider reducing finance maximum rates Should the State Corporation Commission reduce, the maximum rates which may be charged by lenders under the Virginia Consumer Finance Act? The SCC will consider the question, and has scheduled a public hearing for 10 a.m. Arpil 24 in the SCC Courtroom. March 13 is the deadline for persons wishing to present evidence at the hearing to file a notice of intent with the SCC Clerk. In ordering notice to the public of the intention to redetermine the rates and ceilings permitted consumer finance companies, the Commission said the SCC Bureau of Financial Institutions has recommended a rate reduction.

Forst announced today that the mailing of Withholding Tax Booklets to employers required to file a Virginia monthly return has been delayed by the state’s vendor. Approximately 49,000 monthly withholding tax filers were originally scheduled to receive a 12month supply of returns in a coupon booklet the first week in February. Due to serious problems being experienced by the vendor, Cummins-Allison Corporation of Indiana, the booklets will be mailed late. Employers filing monthly Virginia withholding returns will receive their coupon booklets beginning the week of February 11, 1986, but no later than February 19, 1986. The employer’s January report filing date is February 20,1986. Employers are asked to wa^t until after February 20,1986, before calling the Department of Taxation about the coupon booklets since all booklets should be received by February 19th. This delay will not affect quarterly filers who should receive their coupon booklets by March 24, 1986. The quarterly returns are due the last day of April, 1986.

Rappahannock’s trash — options as time runs out vummuea irom page 1 gional plan we completed three years ago. We’re pullmg information together but it’s not in report form doing ” ^ Stl researching what other areas are J.n areyiew of the trash picture throughout the district, Mr. Cilimburg noted that the other four counties have not reached the crisis in which Rappahannock finds itself. Culpeper’s landfill is just a few years old while Madison opened a new site in 1985. In f a^mer. the supervisors are trying to buy additional land as a safeguard for when the current site reaches capacity. Only in Orange County will landfill space run out in the near future, Mr. Cilimburg noted. And judging from the legal and political battles those counties have had to wage to expand their landfills, he questioned whether any of them would be willing to accept Rappahannock’s solid waste. Higher cost could spark cooperation But the impetus to cooperate in a regional approach to solid waste management may come as landfill operation gobbles a bigger chunk of county budgets with the state’s adoption of new regulations required to meet federal standards. Mr. Cilimburg reported that Virginia’s response to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act has been drafted but not yet enacted, the delay apparently due to the substantial cost increase which the new regulations will entail. Even when the financial gouge comesi, it probably wouldn’t be practical to have a shared resource recovery facility in the planning district, Mr. Cilimburg said. “The low population density, the waste stream and the lack of energy buyers combine to reduce the practicality of locating a facility here,” he said. What would be more feasible, he explained, would be to locate compactors, recycling stations and transfer points in each county and then haul the solid waste to a plant elsewhere. “But the big key to anything like that is making sure we have a long term commitment to accept solid waste,” he added. Rappahannock and the other PD9 counties may find that long term contractor in Manassas, if negotiations continue to progress for a shared facility between the counties of Loudoun and Prince William and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. “No longer can we just bury our wastes; disposal has become a costly and complex problem,” concluded Loudoun’s Task Force for Refuse. Disposal in a report last fall. Loudoun began looking for partners to solve its trash problems after (1) determining that expansion of its existing landfill would provide sufficient capacity for just six more years, (2) discovering suspected “degradation” of the groundwater in and around the site and (3) having to shoulder the expense of hauling construction rubble to Fairfax for disposal following the closure of its only debris landfill in 1984. In Prince William, supervisors worried by the environmental pollution liability posed by landfiH operation were also interested in exploring alternatives. Most counties — even those developing as rapidly as Prince William and Loudoun — don’t generate enough solid waste for a plant of their own. Neither do they have buyers nearby for the energy reclaimed from burning trash. However, the proposed ManassasPrince William-Loudoun facility, estimated to cost $39 million with a two and a half construction period, combines unusually favorable factors. First, it has at least three energy users in the city of Manassas, Virginia Power and an IBM plant. IBM has expressed interest in the project and would consider constructing a steam line and purchasing steam to supplement the heating of its plant. Virginia Power is required by law to purchase electricity; it would do so at a lower rate but could serve as a back-up, should other buyers not use the available energy. The city of Manassas is looking for a cheaper . power source for its municipal customers. The city already owns a suitable site with adequate water supply. In addition, there is no apparent citizen opposition to construction of a resource recovery facility at that location. Finally, as the Loudoun task force’s report notes, “the economics of scale are favorable for a large massburning congeneration facility. ” Engineer Hunter F. Taylor, an expert on projects of this kind, looked at the economic profile of the proposed facility that would bum 500-600 tons of waste per day while generating electrical power to the Manassas Electric Utility and steam to IBM. He described the project as “one of the most attractive I have seen to date.” According to Mr. Taylor, cost of solid waste disposal through the facility would run from about $22-25 per ton in the first year of operation (1988) to less than $10 per ton at the end of the 25 year finance period. Using the same economic assumptions on total cost, interest rates and annual average inflation, he estimated the cost for disposal at a sanitary landfill at a low of $15-20 per ton to a high of $50-60 per ton at the end of the same 25 year period. State grant awarded for study Bill Wiggons, director of public services for Loudoun, reports that representatives from the four localities met again last week in Manassas. The consortium has been offered a $20,000 grant from the Department of Mines, Mineral and Energy to further study the joint energy congeneration facility. Each of the localities has added $1,250 to match the state grant. “It’s a small commitment, but it’s still a commitment in local tax dollars,” Mr. Wiggons noted. “We have to answer some real difficult questions,” from policy questions such as how to raise the necessary capital, what each locality’s share will be, whether the facility will be operated publically or privately and what are the implications for the local governments if an authority is created to technical questions as fundamental as plant design. “But we’ve agreed to go forward, although for only $25,000, we’re going to have to limit the scope of our study.” He emphasized that Loudoun County has yet to determine if hauling trash to a joint facility some 40 miles away will be economically feasible. Loudoun’s board of supervisors already owns and operates a landfill in the county. “Even if we pull out (of solid waste disposal there), we free a long term liability for environmental damage from the trash that’s already buried.” However, he acknowledged that the potential for additional groundwater contamination posed by the sterilized ash from a resource recovery facility would be “miniscule.” In addition, Mr. Wiggons noted that the present landfill could be used as a transfer station if the joint facility in Manassas becomes a reality. No Reason To Stop “We’ve been studying this for more than a year now and we haven’t found any reason to stop studying it,” Mr. Wiggons said, characterizing the ongoing negotiations as “moving forward, but moving forward very slowly.” If built, would the joint facility be a potential disposal site for Rappahannock’s solid waste? “Of course, I can’t speak for anyone, but I would guess that it would accept solid waste from anywhere, as long as the locality was willing to pay a fair share,” Mr. Wiggons replied. Rappahannock can also look to Clarke County for an example of what to do with trash besides burying it at home. Clarke has an automatically renewing “continuing operating agreement” for solid waste disposal with Frederick County and the city of Winchester, reports county administrator Bob Lee. Clarke provides no “green boxes,” no dumpsters. Trash is brought to the compactor at the landfill in Frederick near the Clarke County line by private haulers. Trash is weighed, the hauler’s vehicle is checked for a Clarke County sticker and then the bill is sent to Clarke. “We pay a little bit more per ton than Winchester (which purchased the site) and Frederick (which operates and maintains the landfill) but it’s still so much cheaper than a small county like Clarke trying to do it alone,” Mr. Lee said. He repeated the suggestions from PEC and the solid waste committee, advising Rappahannock to contract with a nearby county, such as Warren, to accept its solid waste for the short term while maintaining one or two compactor sites here to make disposal more convenient for local residents. For the long term, Mr. Lee endorsed a regional solution: “It’s cost effective — and will become even mo ’e so — for small counties to ban together.” Katz Continued from page 1 “I met a large number of parents at the parent teacher conference. I was very pleased with everyone of them. Parents here seem to place a very high value on education. Their children are just that much further ahead because of it. It shows. They are working hard. I, am thrilled to see parents like that. It certainly helps the teacher’s job.” ' Mrs. Katz expressed her feelings about this area. “Suffolk is similar in many ways to Rappahannock County. It is predominately farm country, very open. The people are very warm and friendly just as they are here. That’s why I was so excited when I had the opportunity to apply here to work because I love the area. I feel right at home. “I’ve lived in Luray for two years. When my husband and I would take outings with our children we would come to the mountains and spend the day in the Shenandoah Valley and on Skyline Drive. We decided then that when he retired we wanted to buy land here.

School SPTA reviews many projects By C.J. AND D.M. ANDREONI Rappahannock Ncwn Contributing Writers The RCES SPTA was pleased to begin its February meeting with the introduction of two new members, Christopher Sutton, 6th grade representative and Heidi Maeyer, 7th grade representative. They will be responsible for conveying the opinions, needs and desires of the student body to the organization. Chris Sutton made a request for repair of the existing backstop at the baseball field and the addition of an overhead screen, as well as more newspaper coverage of student events. The present status of many ongoing projects was heard, with special thanks going out to Mary McGrail for another successful Parent/Teacher Conference dinner, Pat Lawler for the much needed reproducing service for the teachers and to Edie Clark for organizing the January sock-hop. Another dance is being planned for March. The sign for the school awaits final approving from the zoning board, and the plans for the playground project and its funding drive are currently being reviewed by the school board. A “Gifted and Talented” information meeting was scheduled for February 25th at 7:30 in the RCES gym. This will provide an opportunity for parents to attend a presentation given by RCES principal, Mrs. Piper, on the purpose and goals of this new program. A question and answer period will immediately follow. The intent of this session is to clarify the vague and ambiguous knowledge many people have of this valuable program. A newly designed permanent logo has been agreed upon. The design was created by Maggie Rogers who is also the playground chairman for the SPTA. There was a lengthy discussion on the purchase of new equipment to enhance the present sound system. This area will be pursued at the next meeting pending further investigation and consolidation of the needs and desires of the students and staff. A preliminary presentation on the purchase of several bookcases and a bulletin board was next on the agenda. Additional information relative to cost, placement and teachers’ requirements will be presented next month.

The C.P.S. worker serving the Rappahannock area has agreed to help coordinate a suitable presentation which will then be delivered to the school for approval. The SPTA also acted to fill the president’s office which had been vacant since the summer. Vice-president and acting president, Cindy Andreoni, was officially elected to the office and Judy Tole was elected vice-president. They join April Huddleston (secretary) and Edie Clark (treasurer) on the board of officers for the balance of the school year. The SPTA will hold its regular election of officers for the 1986-87 school year in May. The SPTA is enjoying a very productive year and strongly encourages the involvement of as many parents and teachers as possible to make it a great year. Anyone with an active interest in RCES, its students and staff is urged to attend future meetings and make their voices heard. The agenda is open to input from all who come. Meetings are scheduled for the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in the RCES library. Babysitters are provided for those with children. Information on the SPTA, its membership, purpose and projects may be obtained from Cindy Andreoni at 987-8760. AHA program fights teenage smoking ror many Virginia high school students, Valentine’s Day may mean more than candy and lace hearts this year.

The program is conducted by students who hang the posters, make public address announcements to promote the program, and collect no-smoking pledges from other students. Teachers are encouraged to use smoking topics in their classes. Smokers are included in all activites. “Peer pressure is one of the major reasons teenagers begin to smoke,” he said. “The SASH program can make that peer pressure a positive force.” SASH begins two weeks before Valentine’s Day, when the antismoking posters are hung throughout the school. Public address announcements and no-smoking pledging begin one week before SASH Day. Smokers pledge not to smoke on SASH Day and non-smokers pledge not to begin smoking within the year. The anti-smoking posters are left up two weeks after [ SASH Day to remind students of 1 their no-smoking pledges. 1 The" American Heart Associa’ tion, Virginia Affiliate, with the support of fifty thousand volunteers statewide, continues its mission to reduce premature death and disability from cardiovascular disease.

Stock the freezer for winter savings Smart food shoppers need to take a few lessons from squirrels and stock up for the winter. Like the little furry creatures that frantically hide away their winter fare, shoppers might also work at keeping their freezers full. And for those that have only a freezer compartment above the refrigerator, it would be wise to consider purchasing a larger freezer unit, suggests Susan L. Wiley, Marketing Specialist, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. It is a proven fact that the overall food bill can be reduced if there is a freezer in the home. No matter how many people live in the home, a freezer is a good investment. The greatest advantage to freezer ownership is being able to buy additional quantities of weekly supermarket specials. When whole fryers are featured at 39 cents a pound, or ground beef is offered at 88 cents a pound, it is a good idea to buy extra and freeze for later. It’s like insurance against inflation, buying extra when the price is lowest. Even when certain items are not on special, it is often possible to get a cheaper price per pound when larger quantities are purchased. Whole primal cuts of beef or pork are most always cheaper than individual roasts, steaks or chops, but they require freezer space ta store them safely. Small families often overlook smoked ham or leg of lamb for meals, because each are massive cuts that would yield a mountain of leftovers. If they had a freezer, they could have the ham or lamb cut into manageable one-inch steaks and freeze for future meals. Freezers also allow smart shoppers to cook soups, stews, spaghetti sauce and casseroles in double or triple batches to have on hand for quick meals later. Less food is wasted because it can be stored until it is time to use all the dabs of leftovers in a casserole, vegetable soup, or make homemade TV dinners to reheat in the microwave oven. In order to get the most from freezer purchases it is important to know proper wrapping techniques and suggested storage times for optimum quality. If a top quality beef rib roast or center loin pork chops are not wrapped securely in airtight, moisture and vapor-proof packaging they will get freezer bum. Although freezer bum does not affect the safety of a food item, it does drastically cause the food to lose its flavor, juiciness and tenderness. Here is a list of popular frozen items and how long they will keep their quality in a freezer at zero degrees fahrenheit or below: —Beef roasts and steaks — 6-12 months. — Ground beef, pork, and lamb — 2-3 months. — Pork roasts and chops — 4-6 months. — Cooked meats and poultry — 2-3 months. — Processed meats (bacon, sausage, luncheon meats) — 1-2 months. — Whole chicken or turkey — 912 mpnths. Winter sports week at Wakefield There are no regular classes at Wakefield this week as the school observes its annual Winter Sports Weeks. This welcome mid-winter break comes on the heels of the exams which concluded the 3rd grading period. Over 170 students from Kindergarten through Grade 12, the largest number ever, are involved this year in the school’s six day ski program at Bryce Mountain Resort. Organized into twenty-one levels of instruction from young beginner to advanced, the students attend ski school in the mornings and have the afternoons free for skiing. In addition to the students, many parents also participate in the 1 school’s ski ^program, now in its 9th , year. The highlight of the week will be the racing competitions followed by the annual banquet and awards ceremony. < For students not in the ski program, an ice skating expedition to Washington, D.C. is planned. In adiition, special tutorials have been nrgaoized at school for students desiring help in academic areas. School will resume at Wakefield >n Monday, February 17. — Chicken or turkey pieces —12 months. — Seafood — 2-3 months. — Fruits and vegetables — 12 months. During the winter there’s a good possibility of power outages due to snow or ice storms. A freezer that is fully loaded will keep foods frozen for two days if the door is left closed. In a unit that is less than half full, foods will stay only cold enough about one day. All foods are safe to refreeze if they still contain ice crys Kerosene safety In the cold days of winter kerosene heaters will be used to provide the warmth for comfortable living. There are a number of features to consider when buying a kerosene heater or starting one again after it was stored during warm weather, said Glen H. Hetzel, Virginia Tech Extension agricultural engineer. When buying, always choose a heater that has been rated by a nationally recognized testing organization. Be sure clear instructions for its operation are included. Select a heater that has a safety shutoff device that will automatically snuff the flame if it is knocked over. Buy a heater that is a suitable size for the room where it will be Send now for the only book on Grime overwritten by a dog! Get hot tips on crime prevention!

For extended periods,of time without electrical power, place blocks of dry ice inside the freezer to keep food frozen three days. Serious food shoppers need to make better use of their freezer or plan to invest in one of these budget stretching appliances. Having a freezer full of foods purchased at sales prices is a smart use of the food dollar. used. Heaters usually have information on the size of the area for which they are designed. Turn off the heater when the room is empty. Don’t leave young children or pets in the room unless an adult is present. Always turn off the heater before going to sleep. Make certian there is adequate ventilation, even if a window has to be opened slightly. Use only number one-K kerosene. This top-grade fuel, often called white kerosene, gives a cleaner bum and keeps down smoke and odor. Never use gasoline nor store the kerosene in an old gasoline can. Follow the directions for refilling.

Just a touch takes pain away Horses By CLIVE CARNIE Arundel Newspapers Equestrian Editor Dree Ward can transform a horse from a tense bundle of nerves into a sleepy animal at home with the world with just the touch of her hands. The technique Miss Ward uses isn’t some occult science or voodoo. It’s called myotherapy — the healing of pain in muscles. “Ninety-five percent of all pain is muscle-related,” Miss Ward explains. “Most horses’ problems are either behavioral or limited motion. These stem from stress pain, or from avoiding uncomfortable movements. All you have to do to make major changes is to make the horse know what muscles are tight, and they’ll relax them.” “Ninety-five percent of all pain is muscle related... — Dree Ward By touching a horse, Miss Ward can feel w hich muscles are tight. The muscles that most often cause problems are the neck and shoulders in the front, and the back and pectoral (quarters) in the rear. Then, by applying pressure to the tightness and giving a few simple massages, she can relieve the tension in the muscle and, thereby, the pain. “By putting pressure on a muscle, you deprive it of r■ — i— oxygen," Miss Ward explains. “That short circuits the muscle, and causes the spasms to go away.” Later she went to graduate school in Stockbridge, Mass., to study myotherapy with Bonnie Pruden, the woman whose book had enabled Miss Ward to cure her father’s back. Miss Ward’s studies were primarily on people. She first discovered her skills would work on animals when her dog was hit by a car. “I started Working on her, and she looked up at me, jumped up and then ran off as though nothing had happened.” Miss Ward explains. “So, then I started working on animals and I started doing better than people.” Animals seem to respond faster to the treatment, Miss Ward believes, because they don’t have any of the doubts and psychological hangups of people about such methods. “Horses know if someone is coming up to them with soft gentle hands that it’s going to make them feel good,” she explains. “It feels so good for someone to touch them that way — they’ve got to appreciate it.” Miss Ward moved to Virginia last year to be able to work on animals, particularly horses. Today she lives in Aldie and works on horses of all types and ages in the Middleburg-Warrenton area. By using pressure and exercise, myotherapy improves a horse’s neuro-muscular system which improves his ability and willingness to perform. The treatment gets rid of spasms and tightness in muscles which gives better circulation, flexibility and range of motion in the joints and limbs and also improves suppleness and impulsion in the muscles.

Among the equine pa- • tients she treated was one horse which was in such pain and stress it would jump every time it was touched and even fell over on occasion. Many people in the audience seemed skeptical that Miss Ward would be able to cure this case. She worked on the animal for about half an hour, massaging it, applying slight pressure to the muscles and then stretching them and moving them through their full range of motion. When she was finished she invited people from the audience to come up and touch the horse, even punch it. The animal never moved, despite repeated prods, but just hung its head contentedly. “It was neat to see everybody’s mouth drop after that,” Miss Ward says with a smile. When she is working on a problem animal, Miss Ward usually starts on its head. “The fastest way to get a horse relaxed is to work on its head,” Miss Ward explains. “A lot of horses carry tension in their mouths. ” Miss Ward demonstrated on a mare whose owner said she was imbalanced in the ring and would rear to one The work isn’t over when the spasms have gone, however. Then the muscle must be stretched and exercised or the problem will return. Showing horse owners how to do these exercises on their horses once they are cured is the most important part of Miss Ward’s teaching. Miss Ward first discovered she had magic fingers when she made her father walk again after he’d lain on his back for days with chronic back pain. “I didn’t know what I was doing,” she explains with a laugh. “He’d been to all types of doctors but couldn’t get cured. I bought a book called Pain Erasure the Bonnie Pruden Way and started doing the exercises on him, and he got up and was okay.” The experience motivated Miss Ward to find out more about curing pain through massage and touch. After getting a degree in psychology, she worked in a chronic pain and holistic health clinic — a clinic that uses several different types of pain curing methods to heal people — as a biofeedback technician measuring 'tension in muscles.

Photo/ClivcCaraie A young mare is completely relaxed and pain-free after being treated by Dree Ward ►Therapy: Improves performance Continued from page 14 To calm the mare, Miss Ward ran her fingers across the mare’s upper gum which soon had the mare lowering her head and looking a lot less tense. Miss Ward also played with the mare’s tongue, a muscle itself which can help the neck muscles relax when touched and massaged. Other important spots for relieving tension and relaxing a horse are around the eyes and the ears. “Ears are very important pressure points that can get a horse out ' of shock from colic and other injuries,” Miss Ward explains. The massages Miss Ward performs are simple. “All you have to do to make major changes is make a circular motion with your fingertips,” she says. “It doesn’t take much pressure, just enough to make the horse know what muscles are tight.” Working on the tail, which is actually several joints, pulling on it gently and slowly turning it around in a circular motion, Miss Ward relaxed the mare’s back. “The Chinese say that if you can influence the flexion of an individual joint, it will influence all joints,” says Miss Ward. As the mare relaxed, Miss Ward started putting other joints through a full range of motion to stretch the Shiitake conference The basic biology and production of shiitake (she-e-tah-key) mushrooms will be highlighted. “Mushroom farming has become an attractive source of secondary income for increasing numbers of Virginians, with shiitake being the major type grown,” said Andy G. Hankins, Madison County Extension agent and conference coordinator. The conference will begin with registration, coffee and exhibits from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. A registration fee of $6 will include all conference sessions and lunch. Pre-registration is encouraged. Make checks payable to “Extension Special Account” and mail to Andy G. Hankins, Extension Agent, P.O. Box 10, Madison, VA 22727. A conference program and directions to the Northern Virginia 4-H Center will be mailed to each person who pre-registers before Saturday, February 8. muscles and improve circulation. By the time Miss Ward was done, the mare was completely relaxed and complacent. One of the main barriers Miss Ward faces in doing her work is people. Many people don’t want to admit their horses are sore, and they don’t want any of their competitors to know their horses might be sore. Nor do they want to admit that, perhaps, the reason their horses are in pain is because of an insensitive rider. Tactfully, Miss Ward shows a horse owner how to exercise his or her horse so the problem will not recur, and doesn’t mention that it was the rider that probably caused the problem in the first place. Horse people are often very con servative and fixed in their opinions and slow to change. But, as the performances of human athletes continues to improve with new discoveries in sportsmedicine and training, these methods are becoming more and more accepted in the horse community. In 1984 some Olympic teams even used myotherapy on their horses to improve their performances. Performing her specialized treatment, Miss Ward has already been asked by horsemen and women from Florida, the Carolinas, Michigan and even Denmark, Brazil and the Caribbean to come and perform her healing. One day, Miss Ward hopes, she will be able to travel all over the world curing horses with myotherapy. Breast cancer forum features specialists The American Cancer Society is sponsoring a public breast cancer forum for women, and men, presenting methods of early diagnosis, treatment alternatives, reconstructive surgery, coping and rehabilitation.

Box 31611, ‘Changing Voices’ Continued from page 1 nissed on April 21st by Dr. Peter Wirth, an independent scholar. Robert Penn Warren is a poet who deals with large, poetic themes. "All the King's Men” is a tragedy in the most profound sense of the “hubris" described by the ancient (weeks. Hubris is that condition of fate that requires a hero to test the laws and limits of nature. A hero can only be heroic relative to these laws and almost by necessity, therefore, must challenge them. In so doing, he inevitably challenges the gods and brings down his own demise. The author, wdth his own great verbal strength and power, considers the nature and meaning behind modern — and southern — heroism. “Changing Voices" is free and opt ii to the public.

RAAC’s theater has remained open as theaters in much larger communities have folded; its workshops for both school children and adults accomplish privately what many communities accomplish with tax dollars; and its live programs present a wide selection of quality entertainment to a wide selection of rural people. Formed primarily to serve the needs of Rappahannock County residents, RAAC now includes members from Warren, Madison, Culpeper and Fauquier Counties.
