Coach Joel Voorhees (left) and RCHS Vice-Principal John Toth present the trophy. RAAC membership underway According to Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC) director Anne Stephens, the 1986 membership <Jrive is receiving a good response from both existing and. mew members. RAAC, formed in 1982, was directed primarily at Rappahannock County residents but is drawing an increasing number of members and patrons from adjoining counties. “It’s not uncommon to see people from quite distant communities attending our programs,” said RAAC president Frank Reynolds, “and we’ve increased our publicity in adjoining counties so that people there will know about our programs.” Mr. Reynolds added that, since RAAC is a non-profit organization, it must rely mostly on public service space in newspapers, regional magazines and radio. Those who joined the young arts organization at the beginning have received discounts on a varied program of entertainment; they receive the newsletter and movie bulletins and information on, live performances that occur about once a month. There are also art exhibits and an artists’ forum program aimed at providing support and education for area artists. Some examples of RAAC’s programs in the past few years are Diane Couve’s live one-woman show about Emily Dickenson, “No Exit” and “Eguus” performed by the Source Theatre, several performances by folk and blues singer John Jackson, the Periscope Jazz Quartet, Jody Gatwood’s classical violin performance, the Roadside Theatre’s “South of the Mountain,” Kirby and Bledsoe’s Appalachian music and dance calling, and a performance by Rappahannock’s newest resident musicians, Trapezoid. Whenever possible RAAC’s performances have included workshops .and demonstrations in the county schools. One live performance'included Rappahannock school children as well as senior citizens in a very successful dramatic review of area history, “Voices of Rappahannock.” Planned for this spring are several live programs as well as the weekly presentation of high-quality films. On March 14 RAAC will present “Heart of the Garden”, by regional film maker Lavinia Currier, with a discussion with the director immediately following. April’s program will be a return appearance by Trapezoid, whose Continued on page 16 Teachers complete computer course By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “How do you go from one room to another with a door in between?” This is a question that instructor Charles Blohowiak often presents to his computer classes as a test to see if students can be successful working with computers. On February 15, thirteen teachers from the Rappahannock County School system completed a class entitled “Computer Science for Teachers.” It was offered by Lord Fairfax Community College. The four weekend, five quarter credit hour class, was offered to teachers who needed recertification or who wanted to become more comfortable with the operation of the computer and basic software programs. According to a letter from Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell, “twenty-eight staff members have utilized tuition assistance to date. This figure will surely increase by the end of this budget year since many teachers and administrators will attend school at a university or college during the summer months. “Tuition assistance is available to all employees. Cafeteria staff, custodians, aides, etc., can qualify for tuition assistance. Many employees, other than teachers and administrators, have taken advantage of the tuition assistance line item,” advised Mr. Campbell. Employees had several reasons for taking the class. “I took the class to become more computer literate. I needed the hands on experience to become _ —Deborah Flinchum for the Rappahannock News BETTY SETTLE gets assistance from instructor Charles Blohowiak. more interested in working with computers,” said RCES viceprincipal Betty Settle. Every Virginia state certified teacher must renew their teaching certificate every five years. This is done by taking the equivalent of six semester hours of college credit during the five year period. Teacher Lois Atwood said, “I took the course for recertification. However, I realized my need to learn more about computers. I think in today’s society having that knowledge is a must.” Assistant Superintendent Tom Campbell commented, “Professional development opportunities are very important in order that staff members can stay abreast of recent developments in any particular field. The development of “userfriendly” microcomputers is a very good example. We try to offer at least one course in the county each year to encourage continued professional growth.” “Computer Science for Teachers” emphasized computer applications in the educational setting. It enabled each teacher to use microconjputers as an instructional management tool. The teachers were' also introduced to word processing, data base management, and electronic spreadsheets. Instructor Charles Blohowiak received his bachelor of science degree at Texas A and M University in computer science with a minor in mathematics. He has spent ten years working with computers in the financial market, doing bank processing for twenty-six banks, being a computer consultant at Virginia Tech Continued on page 16 Jenkinses, Hale plead guilty to lesser charges at hearing Former Rappahannock County sheriff John Walker Jenkins, his wife Alice Jenkins, and her son William Hale, who were arrested on January 11 on abduction charges, each pled guilty to lesser charges in Rappahannock County District Court on Tuesday. The three were represented by their attorney George Freeman, who reached a plea bargain agreement with Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke. John Walker Jenkins pled guilty to a charge of assault. He received a six-month sentence, suspended on the condition of good behavior, and was fined $35 plus court costs. Alice Jenkins pled guilty to brandishing a firearm and received a sixmonth sentence, also suspended on condition of good behavior, two days of which will be spent in jail. William Hale also pled guilty to brandishing a firearm, receiving a six-month sentence suspended on condition of good behavior except for 10 days which will be spent in jail. As a condition of suspension for each of the three, no direct or indirect contact may be made with the plaintiffs, Page County Commonwealth Attorney John T. Hennessy, his wife Janet Hennessy, or Tammy Good, a bank credit officer. The plea agreement was sought by Mr. Hennessy on behalf of himself, his wife, and Miss Good who were referred to as the “victims” during Tuesday’s court session. John Walker Jenkins and Alice Jenkins, who are employed by the Rappahannock County Schools as school bus drivers, were placed on leave with pay after the incident. Rappahannock County School Board Superintendent Robert Estabrook said on Tuesday that any comments regarding the Jenkins’ employment status would be prema Dr. Ayers to deliver speech Dr. Edward L. Ayers is the keynote speaker in the Rappahannock Library’s “Changing Voices” book discussion series. The series will begin on Monday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Ayers teaches history at the University of Virginia, specializing in the history of the South. His address at the Rappahannock Library will be concerned with the Southern literary renaissance and the significance of the four books chosen for the series. ture until the board received documents concerning the case. He indicated that once papers have been received, the school board would reconvene to determine the employment status of Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. The January 11 incident, according to criminal complaint records issued at the Rappahannock County General District Court, began when Mr. and Mrs. Hennessy and Tammy Good arrived at the Jenkins’ residence to repossess a truck owned by the bank. An altercation ensued, resulting in the arrest of the defendants, who were originally charged with abduction. Mr. Hennessy said in court that the lesser charges based on the background of the defendants. He stated that he felt that the sanctions Continued on page 16 Sperryville mail dies By WILLIAM WESLEY TALBOTT Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer Henry Lee Wooten of Sperryville was killed Saturday when he lost control of his car and slammed into another vehicle on Route 522 near the intersection of Route 621 West near Woodville. A child who was a passenger in Mr. Wooten’s car has been transferred to the University of Virginia Hospital where he is listed in serious condition, according to a hospital spokesperson. According to Trooper Chuck Moore who was at the scene of the accident, Mr. Wooten was northbound on Route 522 when he lost control of his 1975 Datsun and hit a 1982 Cadillac, operated by Dr. Prospero Cruz Roda of Tappahannock. Mr. Wooten apparently lost control of his vehicle due to poor road conditions resulting from a snowstorm. Trooper Moore stated that both vehicles were “totalled by the accident.” According to the officer, Henry Lee Wooten Was “exceeding a safe speed” when he lost control of his rear-wheel drive vehicle which bounced into the driver’s side of the approaching vehicle. “His car bounced off the Cadillac and travelled several feet,” said Trooper Moore. „ .. . Continued on page 16 Rappahannock races postponed By CLIVE CARNIE Democrat Staff Writer Miserable weather forecasts and bad ground conditions have forced Rappahannock Hunt officials to cancel their races this Saturday. With a couple of inches of snow already on the hilly race course at Thornton Hill Farm near Sperryville, and more snow and possibly rain forecast later in the week, officials felt conditions would be too bad for racing on Saturday. “I think safety is the first step and I think it would be unsafe to run the races this weekend,” said David Carter, chairman of the Rappahannock races. “I don’t want to run a race that will injure the horse or rider. “Plus, I want to get spectators and I don’t think we’d get any with the forecasts I’ve heard for the rest of the week.” The postponement date for the Rappahannock Hunt races will be Sunday, Apr. 27. This is the day after the Foxfield Steeplechase Races in Charlottesville, but Mr. Carter does not believe there will be too much of a conflict with horses between the two meets and he thinks spectator attendance should be strong. “I think that April 27 will give us a better show,” said Mr. Carter. “A few years back we had to cancel and we ran the races in April and we had Continued on page 16 Supervisors meet Frederick officials Rappahannock Board of Supervisor Nelson Lane arranged a hasty meeting between members of his board and officials in Frederick County who may be interested in accepting this county’s trash. Members of the Board of Supervisors were scheduled to travel to Winchester on Wednesday to discuss this new possibility. (Details of that meeting were not available at press time.) Mr. Lane said on Tuesday that he called the meeting because of the urgency of Rappahannock’s landfill problem. He said however that there could be a potential problem with Frederick because it too has a finite amount of time in which its landfill may be operated. Mr. Lane indicated that he thought that the time period was four or five years. He said that their landfill currently accepts trash from Clarke County as well as the City of Winchester for a fee. The cost of such ac- * ceptance was unknown. Rappahannock’s present landfill is almost filled and may be closed in the next few months. Negotiations between officials here and an unnamed county broke down recently when citizens protested the attempt by a private firm attempting to locate a waste facility there. Conservation Reserve Program meeting By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent Rappahannock County farmers interested in participating in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) are urged to attend an educational meeting Monday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock Courthouse. Farmers will be provided with details and options of the newly-announced federal program designed to take highly erodible cropland out of production. Land that enters the program will be ineligible for farming for 10 years and must instead be planted into perennial grass, wildlife plantings, windbreaks or trees. To be eligible, the land must have been used to produce an annual crop any two of the five years, 1981 through 1985. Hayland is not eligible. Producers must sign up at their local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) office and will be expected to designate the fields or parts of fields to be included, estimate the acreage by designated field, provide information on crops grown on each field during the 1981-1985 period and the conservation practices used, and submit a bid for the annual rent payment they would accept to enroll the land into the program. Technicians from the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) will decide if the fields meet soil erosion requirements and if the proposed ero sion control plantings are suitable for the land. ASCS representatives will determine if the fields meet crop history requirements and handle bids to participate. If the farmer’s bid is accepted, he will sign a 10-year contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and receive annual rental payments. Participants will also receive 50 percent of eligible costs of establishing trees or grass on the land placed in the reserve.

General District Court During (General District Court on February 25, Judge S.C. Price found Charles Lewis Gallihugh guilty of driving while intoxicated and driving on a suspended sentence. The incident occurred on April 28, 1985 when Rappahannock Deputy Settle arrested Mr. Gallihugh in Sperryville after receiving a report of a swerving vehicle on Route 522 near Sperryville. Frank Reynolds, attorney for Mr. Gallihugh, stated during the trial that the state had not proved there was any evidence- he was driving under the influence. Mr. Gallihugh received a 30 day jail sentence of which 20 days were suspended along with fines. William Lee Estes pleaded guilty to a DWI charge, his second. He stated that he has been aware that he has had a problem with alcohol but asked that his license be restricted in ord*>r that he get to work. He said that he was willing to undergo treatment at the state’s alcohol rehabilitation program. Douglas Baumgardner who represented Mr. Estes urged the judge to restrict the driving license so that Mr. Estes could continue to work. Judge Price fined him and gave him a 30 day jail sentence; 20 days of that sentence were suspended. His license was restricted. David Clanagan, who was charged with failure to vaccinate and license three dogs, was found guilty for failure to license one of the animals. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner argued that it was his client’s father, not his client, who acReal estate transactions The following real estate transfers was recorded during the past week: Lois Waldron to Thomas C.

COMET HALLEY, having rounded the sun, is now on its outward journey. Look for it low on the horizon in the east-southeast. Viewing should be better the first two weeks of next month. MARCH WEATHER WATCH: In like the proverbial lion, March winds will blow 3-6,14-17,23-28. Below normal temperatures are expected and average precipitation, with flurries, 3-6, cold rain or snow 10-13 and showers 18-20 and 29-31. EASTER is early — March 30, the first Sunday following the first Full Moon, which occurs at 10:02 p.m. on the 25th when trees will soon be burgeoning; the sap is on the rise for the annual collection and sugaring off of maple syrup. Hence, this moon is sometimes referred to as the Sap Moon. STAY OUT OF THE GARDEN — the time is not ripe. Instead, get a head start indoors, plant those tomato seeds on St. Joseph’s Day, the 19th and, outdoors, get in peas on St. Patrick’s Day, the 17th, but only if your soil is somewhat dry.

Republicans continue battle over local redistricting bill By MICHAEL MARTZ Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICHMOND — The Republican Party this week continued its unsuccessful battle to defeat legislation that would limit political reapportionment by local governments. The House of Delegates voted on Friday to approve legislation that would allow local governments to redistrict only after the U.S. Census every 10 years, with a few exceptions, such as a change in the number of districts or the form of government. The vote was partisan, 63-35, with 32 of the 33 House Republicans and three of its 65 Democrats voting against the measure. Previous votes had been similarly partisan. The House Privileges and Elections Committee voted 16-3 earlier this week to send the bill to the floor. Only one Republican voted for and three voted against it. The Senate approved the bill, 30 9, with only the chamber’s eight Republicans and Loudoun’s Democratic Sen. Charles L. Waddell voting against it. Sen. Waddell’s opposition wasn’t coincidence. He represents Loudoun County and parts of Fairfax County, both fast-growing communities that want to redraw their political districts to reflect population changes. Republicans say the purpose of the legislation, which was proposed by Senate Majority Leader Hunter B. Andrews (D-Hampton), is to thwart the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, which has a 5-4 Republican majority. They argue that Democrats fear redistricting by the board would put some Democratic supervisors in tougher districts in which to win reelection, a process known as gerrymandering. The Democrats reject that argument. They say the legislation emerged from a joint subcommittee that studied the state’s election laws and that the bill simply makes local reapportionment policy conform with state and federal guidelines. “We feel we should have uniformity in this regard,” Sen. Andrews told the House committee, “and that’s all this bill does.” Republicans in both houses disagree, especially those from Fairfax. Dels. Vincertt F. Callahan Jr. (RFairfax) and James H. Dillard II (RFairfax) said the legislation ignores the precedent Fairfax set in 1968 and 1975 when its board, then dominated by Democrats, reapportioned the county’s electoral districts to correct population imbalances. They say the proposed law, which now goes to Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, violates the Supreme Court doctrine of “one man, one vote.” Although House and Senate Democrats say the U.S. Department of Justice has no problems with the bill, opponents said the law would violate the Voting Rights Act and cost state tax money to defend law suits brought against it. Sen. Wiley F. Mitchell Jr. (RAlexandria) served on the study subcommittee but dissented from its recommendation and spoke vociferously against the bill on the Senate floor. The legislation. Sen. Mitchell wrote in dissent, “flies squarely in the face of the ‘one man, one vote’ predicate upon which our current electoral districts are based and, in so doing, ignores the reality of massive population shifts which are occurring in the more rapidly growing areas of the state.” “I think this is an abominable bill,” said Del. Callahan, a former House Minority Leader, during committee debate. “If these rapidly growing areas only reapportion every 10 years, there’s going to be some malapportionment,” Del. Dillard told a House committee. “I don’t understand whv uniformity of malapportionment is deemed to be appropriate.” Fairfax County, or at least the Republicans controlling the board, sent lobbyist Doreen Williams to speak to the House committee against the bill, which she said “will affect adversely the legislative discretion of local governing bodies.” Ms. Williams cited statistics that illustrate population imbalances among electoral districts in the county. \ “It is apparent that if the county had not redistricted in 1975, there would have been an enormous population imbalance among supervisor districts over the period 1971 to 1981,” she said. “The issue for the present board is whether or not to permit such imbalances to occur between 1981 and 1991. Senate Bill 146 would prohibit this consideration.” Redistricting in Loudoun is a regional issue, because the population in the eastern end of the county is growing fast, making political superiority over the rural western end certain under the “one man, one vote” doctrine. The Loudoun supervisors are split among four Democrats, two certified Republicans, a Republican who ran as an Independent to protect his federal job and a Republican who has been disavowed by the local Republican leadership. The board, with some dissent, voted a neutral position on the bill, although it opposes another redistricting bill introduced by Del. Ford C. Quillen (D-Scott), chairman of the House P&E Committee. That legislation, which the Senate approved on Friday by a 32-7 partisan vote, would force any local redistricting plan drawn between July 1 and June 30, 1988, to be submitted to a Joint Reapportionment Committee of the Assembly for approval. Senate adopts belt bill The Virginia Senate Tuesday adopted a bill requiring front-seat passengers in cars and trucks to buckle up or risk a $25 fine. The Senate voted 22-17 in approving a measure that would give police the authority to stop any car or truck if the driver or front-seat passengers aren’t wearing a seat belt. Gov. Gerald L. Baliles said he will sign the legislation, which would take effect Jan. 1, 1987. In contrast, the House of Delegates’ version of the bill would allow police to enforce the law only if they stopped the driver for an unrelated driving violation. Del. J. Samuel Glasscock (D-Suffolk) said he believes the more restrictive Senate bill will be adopted by the House. Del. Glasscock has sponsored the bill for four sessions. Opponents of the Senate bill argued that it would be an infringement of individual liberties. Sen. Daniel W. Bird Jr. (D-Wythe), the chief sponsor of the bill, dismissed that argument, saying the pro Richmond roundup posal would save 300 to 400 lives a year. Pool insurance OK’d A bill to prevent insurance companies from cancelling liability insurance for commercial vanpools without good reason passed the House Committee on Corporations, Insurance and Banking on Tuesday. The legislation, introduced by Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-Loudoun/F^irfax), would allow companies to cancel the insurance only if the vanpool operator failed to pay the premium or became a greater insurance risk. The vote was 19-1. Other legislation introduced by area legislators also has fared well, including: Baliles expected to sign bill RICHMOND — A law to lower the blood alcohol level needed for automatic conviction of drunken drivers is on its way to Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, after passing the Senate on Friday. Baliles will sign it, because his administration sponsored the bill, which Iffte 'House approved earlier this month by a two-to-one margin. The law will allow automatic or “per se” conviction of drivers whose blood alcohol level is .10. The level needed for per se conviction now is. . 15, although under current law a. 10 level is presumptive evidence of guilt. The difference is that a presumption can be rebutted with evidence in court, while the only defense against per se conviction is to challenge the validity of the breath or blood test. Critics say that doctrine, which the General Assembly adopted in 1984, deprives defendents of due process and their “day in court.” Sen. Johnny S. Joannou (D SSKe ~ ^ End the Winter Blahs" Saturday night, March 1 At the Cornerpost Restaurant in Flint Hill Loud music by two accomplished musicians, meet Jim Powell and friend, Great guitar sounds. Menu specials will feature: Catfish, Fresh Fried Oysters, Fillet of Beef Cooked to your liking. Reservations requested. 675-3862 Portsmouth), one of two senators who voted against the bill, said the per se doctrine dismisses other evidence that a person is not impaired by alcohol. “The candidate for Congress from the 2nd Congressional District can get up and wave the flag -for stopping carnage on the highway,” Sen. Emick said with a flourish. “We’re going to say you’re going to jail,” Sen. Joannou said, “you’re guilty of a crime. We don’t care whether you are or not, because you have. 10 in your blood. ” Sen. Emick also compared the automatic conviction approach with German persecution of Jews and suggested that passing the bill was great news for politicians like Sen. A. Joe Canada (R-Va. Beach), who is running for U.S. Congress. Sen. Dudley J. “Buzz” Emick (DBotetourt), the other dissenting senator, said he supported the . 15 level for per se conviction, but thinks . 10 is too low, because the tests are imperfect and drunkeness varies according to body weight and chemistry.

Del. Robert T. Andrews (R-Fairfax/Loudoun) introduced the bill for Loudoun County, which wants to reduce the tax to a penny per $100 of assessed value so it can attract a pilot training company to Washington Dulles International Airport. • A proposal to require infant flood tests for biotinidase syndrome, a nutritional deficiency that can lead to death in infants and young children if not treated. Del. Kenneth R. Plum (R-Reston) introduced the bill, which passed Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday. Gaol to get $25,000 The 1986-88 budget apparently will include at least $25,000 for the restoration of the Old Gaol in Warrenton. The House version of the budget includes $50,000 for the project, less than half of the total restoration cost, and the Senate version includes $25,000. The difference will be resolved in conference committee. Alternative to bottle bill? When the Senate approved its version of the 198688 budget last week, it included a proposal by Sen. William A. Truban (R-Woodstock) to study use of prison labor to pick up and recycle roadside litter. Truban, who represents Clarke and part of Fauquier, made the proposal as an alternative to legislation requiring returnable bottles, the infamous bottle bill, which Sen. Truban opposed again this year. Under Truban’s proposal, prisoners would collect, separate and recycle litter. The Department of Corrections would study the idea, which would be a “self-supporting correctional enterprise.” “This comprehensive program will kill two birds with one stone: attack our entire litter and trash problem, and serve as a money-making prisoner rehabilitation program,” Sen. Truban said. Blaze orange rider added Blaze orange is still alive in the General Assembly, despite being killed in House committee last week. For the second time this session, the House Committee on Conservation and Natural Resources voted last week to kill a bill that would require hunters in deer season to wear clothing of a bright, blaze orange color. But the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources, which has passed blaze orange legislation for four straight years, attached the requirement to a hunter education bill introduced by Del. A. Victor Thomas (D-Roanoke), who chairs the House committee. That leaves Del. Thomas, who has led the fight against mandating blaze orange each year, with the choice of sacrificing his own bill or trying to discard the blaze orange amendment in conference committee. Sen. Daniel W. Bird Jr. (D-Wythe), who introduced the bill killed by Del. Thomas’ committee last week, proposed the amendment; Truban and Waddell supported it and the hunter education bill, which would require hunters younger than 18 years old to take a hunter education course. “I don’t see why the two can’t work hand-in-hand and save some lives,” said Sen. Howard P. Anderson (DHalifax), who chairs the Senate committee. Freshness is our trademark!

Published by the Rappahannock News, a division of Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27,1986 Enough Each year, as budget time approaches, teachers demand higher salaries. It is a rite of spring. The teachers in Rappahannock, like teachers everywhere, have tough jobs. The hours are often ridiculously long. Many evenings and weekends are spent by teachers preparing lesson plans and grading papers and exams. Teacher involvement in extracurricular activities is another burden which takes a great amount of time. While most teachers feel that it is rewarding to see children grow and develop, the long hours spent to ensure this development are both physically and mentally tiring. The salaries for this labor are not good — not in Rappahannock or anywhere else. Many teachers have left the profession because of “burn-out” and because of too little money. For them the two-month summer holiday is not enough compensation. Those who have chosen to become teachers have known all along that they could not become wealthy in this field. Just a few years ago they knew they could not even make enough to have a decent living. Teachers have become teachers because of other motivations. There are probably as many reasons for becoming a teacher as there are teachers. Whatever the motivations, we salute good teachers. As the bumper sticker says, “If you can read this, thank a teacher.” In recent years salaries have risen in this profession. They are still not great salaries, but risen they have. Teacher salaries are usually a direct reflection of the county in which teachers practice. This county, which raised salaries significantly last year, is predominantly rural. Many people here are farmers. What farmers are now facing is a lot tougher than anything teachers face. Farmers know no benefit packages or two month vacations. They do know what tough work is and we salute those who provide food for our tables under some of the worst conditions imaginable. Teacher salaries are paid for by taxes. Rappahannock County Board of Supervisor member Nelson Lane, who spoke at the school board meeting of February 18, said, “I could vote to raise taxes and probably live through it, but many people here could not live through it. ” This year teachers are seeking a higher salary for beginning, staff. These teachers, some fresh from college, are currently nudb ing $13,618 for their 10 months of work. Speaking on behalf of what she said was 80% of the teachers, mathematics teacher Helen LaCava wants the ante raised to $15,897 per year. Her remarks that teachers are paid less in Rappahannock than in other counties are correct. Her remarks that teachers here must work so much harder than those in urban environments is nonsense. We are not Madison. We are not Culpeper. We are not Fauquier. And we certainly do not have the kinds of public school systems that exist in New York City or Washington, D.C. — where to teach on a daily basis may be considered an act of courage. Fauquier is one county often cited by proponents of higher salaries in Rappahannock. Flip, if you will, through the classified section of The Fauquier Democrat and study their ads for housing. You will quickly see that we are not that county. Our rents are lower in Rappahannock. And while there is less housing here — there are also fewer people searching for the available housing. It does take some perseverance to find rental housing in this county, but once found it is usually a lot less expensive than that in neighboring counties. Last year this newspaper strongly supported raises for teachers. The increase (teachers complained it was not enough) was overdue. But this annual rite of spring in which teachers demand more and more money has become a ridiculous obsession. This insult to taxpayers, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet, has got to be resisted until times get better for all of the citizens in the county. Rappahannock heritage ‘Hanging between two ordinances9 --- To the editor: I am speaking only for myself as an individual who sells real estate here in Rappahannock, and has done so for seven years. Heretofore, I had relied upon the guidelines set forth in the 1973 zoning ordinance when responding to my customers, concerning our zoning regulations. I have stated my interpretation and have encouraged customers to examine the ordinance. Of late, however, I have been uncomfortable about giving customers any sense of security regarding our ordinance since exceptions, and seeming violations have been reported which have eroded my confidences The fact that we are in a “limbo” posture, too, hanging between two ordinances which are different, makes one feel especially vulnerable when offering information. If and when the new regulations are passed finally by the Board of Supervisors, it is my hope that the new zoning administrator will be more uniform in administering those regulations to protect all residents of the county and in carrying out the mandate of the Comprehensive Plan (which is designed to benefit every citizen in this county) by providing for growth in, and from, those areas best prepared for it. A consistent application will enable those of us who should be knowledgable, to be more forthright in giving our information. Certainly, most prospective buyers seek out Rappahannock County believing that here at last, they may be able to depend upon the zoning and not be subjected to the vageries of arbitrary and capricious decisions. I, for one, would like.to feel confident that when I endorse such thinking on the buyer’s part, I can do so without reservation. MITZIE YOUNG Castleton Adopt new zoning ordinance To the editor: The elected officials of Rappahannock County have an obligation to uphold the zoning laws in order to protect the natural beauty of our county. The zoning ordinance should be the tool the county uses to administratively implement the comprehensive plan. If we let' special interest and politics enter into the interpretation and enforcement of our zoning ordinance, it will soon become unenforceable. Much precedence has been set by selective and arbitrary interpretation of the old ordinance, to the point where it has become invalid. We, therefore, urge the Board of Supervisors to adopt the new zoning ordinance, hire a county administrator, and set in motion the systems necessary to interpret and enforce our zoning ordinance fairly for all citizens of Rappahannock County.

Don’t expect to mount a big crusade and get the regular Virginia Game Wardens to do it.

‘Discipline is key to advancement’ Out of the attic While Gov. Gerald Baliles has spelled out his 1 for a “New Dominion” in the governance of the Commonwealth, Lt. Gov. L. Douglas Wilder has done much the same thing with respect to improving the opportunities of the state’s Black citizens. In a notable speech to the Lynchburg NAACP last week Wilder minced no words in pointing out what were, in his view, some of the principal reasons for many of the difficulties facing black citizens and families in modern America. One of their main problems continues to be over-reliance on government to solve social and economic problems for which, Wilder said, black citizens must learn to shoulder responsibility themselves. Only by doing so, argued Lt. Gov. Wilder, will many black families be able to break the welfare cycle which stretches from generation to generation. Closely related to the perpetuation of the welfare cycle, he noted the growing number of single parents in the black community where teenage pregnancies among unmarried girls has long since reached the point where it is a major social crisis.. “Where have all the fathers gone?” asked Mr. Wilder. “Almost an entire generation is going fatherless!” The answer to that question, if one can be found, would surely unravel one of the most complex knots facing our social service offices. In addressing his audience, Mr. Wilder, who is an excellent orator, sounded themes which GEORGE BOWLES were more reminiscent of Booker T. Washington than of most of today’s reformers. “Some say the reason you are no further advanced is because someone else is to blame,” said Mr. Wilder. ‘That is not true. We must redig the wells our fathers dug, of discipline and of health in mind and body. ” Lt. Gov. Wilder also attacked the black argot or “rap talk” so popular among many black young people. He said that he was grateful to his parents and teachers who, when he was growing up, insisted that he use conventional English. Ilie lieutenant governor also said he favored a “no pass - no play” law which would require minimal academic achievement by high school athletes before they are allowed to participate in sports. Mr. Wilder’s remarks brought immediate approval from two of the state’s top black educators. Dr. Gerald Foster, dean of arts and letters at Hampton Institute and Ishmail Conway, a spokesman for Virginia Union University agreed with Wilder. Mr. Conway, especially, said that the time had come for a frontal attack on illiteracy in the same way that a frontal attack was made on the social ills facing the black community in the ’50s, ’60s and 70s. There is no question that Wilder has put his finger on the leading challenges facing the Black community going into the last years of this century. One must assume - and hope - that he will dwell on, as well as expand on, these themes as time goes on. As well as he has articulated the tasks which lie ahead and the goals which he feels should be uppermost on the black agenda, there is an important ingredient missing from his program. That, of coursfe, is a meaningful plan for carrying out that program and reaching the goals he has so well described. At bottom, as Mr. Wilder correctly points out, it is the black community on which the responsibility must ultimately rest for carrying his program forward and making it succeed. But the unanswered question remains: How can it be done? As lieutenant govemer, Mr. Wilder occupies a unique position of leadership to translate his plans into action, and his goals into reality. If he can do so he will have made a mighty contribution to the realization of Gov. Baliles’ objective of a “New Dominion” for all the people of the commonwealth.

V_ _j c Magazine editor resigns — starts new publishing company Walter Nicklin, founder and until recently, editor, publisher and president of Mid-Atlantic Country magazine, has formed Nicklin Publishing, which will specialize in new publishing ventures particularly in the Mid-Atlantic area. A former reporter/editor, Nicklin started Country Magazine in 1980 with a circulation of 20,000. He remained editor and publisher after selling the Alexandria-based magazine to the A. S. Abell Company (publisher of the Baltimore Sun) in 1982, guiding its growth to more than 100,000 paid circulation at the beginning of this year, when he re signed in order to undertake the new venture. “I know from experience the huge emotional investment that starting a magazine requires,” Nicklin said, “but there is nothing more exciting or rewarding than starting from scratch.” “Now that Country Magazine is firmly in the hands of a company as respected and expert as A. S. Abell, it is a good time to start passing on what I learned to other new or changing publishing enterprises,” he said. Nicklin Publishing is located in Arlington, Virginia. 25 YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS From the March 9, 1961, edition Betty Kay Kilby has been named 4-H girl of the year in Rappahannock.

Some homeowners faced with the need to move may consider renting out their homes instead of selling. What you would be doing, in tax parlance, is converting your primary residence into a rental property. But a decision to convert your own residence to a rental property requires weighing some unique considerations. For one thing, you’ll be giving up the opportunity to defer taxes on the home when you sell it because the rollover feature on real estate profit applies only to a primary residence that is replaced with another primary residence. In contrast, when rental property is sold, you’ll owe tax that year on any profit you make on the sale. If you bought your present home prior to 1981, the depreciation effect would be less favorable. That’s when a much faster writeoff schedule (ACRS) took effect. Taxwise, it makes more sense to sell your present home and use any excess cash for investment purposes.

The play will be presented on March 6, 7, and 8 and again the following weekend with performances scheduled for March 13, 14, and 15 at the Clarke County High School in Berryville. It is a highlight of the county’s ongoing Sesquicentennial Celebration. Ms.- Kiley’s last play, “Voices of Rappahannock”, was performed in December 1983 at the Gay Street Theatre in Washington. That play celebrated Rappahannock’s Sesquicentennial. “Passages” recounts the history of Clarke County as seen through the eyes of its people. Last spring Ms. Kiley conducted an oral history ‘My main interest is in folk history— not in proving whether or not the history is true.’ —Catherine Kiley workshop, called “Old Days in Clarke County”, to learn more about the county’s past from students who had interviewed many senior citizens. Last fall she organized another workshop series involving theatrical improvisation for seniors. “Improvisation is just the use of imagination,” explains Ms. Kiley. “It can be as simple as pretending you are the Yankees and they are the Rebels.” Another project that contributed to the writing of “Passages” was a forum organized to explore past, present and future issues affecting the county’s citizens. “This helped get the project going,” says Ms. Kiley. “People began to talk about the history of Clarke County.” “My main interest is in folk history,” explains "the author, “not in proving whether or not the history is true.” The stories, she says, “are important because people tell them.” The first act of “Passages”, entitled “The Old People”, explores life during the 1800s. “We’ve got tales like a woman who freed slaves and others about the Civil War,” says Ms. Kiley. “Saturday Night in Berryville” is recreated during the play’s second act. “Berryville used to be so much fun,” says Ms. Kiley. “People would come from all over and go to town ■ for the movies — it was so crowded.” Act 3 theatrically examines contemporary life in the county. An unusual aspect of “Passages” is that the actors helped create the play. “During the rehearsals we would take a story and set up the scene; I would say ‘you be so and so’ and then we would see what happens.” The members of the large cast are all from Clarke County. For some it will be their first experience on stage. The play ends appropriately with members of the audience being treated to a piece of the county’s specially decorated birthday cake. Tickets are $J, for adults, halfprice for senior citizens and children under 12. They may be purchased at the Bank of Clarke County, The Berry Patch, Coiner’s Department Store, Boyce Grocery, Locke’s Store and White Post Restorations. Magician to appear David Ginn and his Magical Wonder Show will appear March 8 at Fauquier High School. The event, sponsored by American Legion Post 72 and the Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Warrenton, begins at 7 p.m. “In the Magical Wonder Show we carry the big stage illusions — things like the guillotine, floating a girl in mid-air, Houdini’s trunk mystery and others,” Mr. Ginn said. Between routines, magician Ginn invites audience volunteers on stage to assist in the skits. Tickets are available by mail (American Legion Post 72, Box 1105, Warrenton, Va. 22186), or they can be picked up in person at the Jefferson Savings and Loan Association or at the Pepsi plant or any of its drivers.

Does it make a difference if boys and girls from the earliest ages are involved in the program of religious education provided by our churches? Is the message of God’s concern and man’s responsibility made clearer when parents bring rather than send their youngsters to church?

BURKE Joint or separate filing? By Q. EARL YANCEY Rappahannock News Contributing Writer If you are married on December 31st of any year, you and your spouse may elect to file either a joint income tax return or married, separate returns. Generally speaking, filing a joint return will save you taxes, because of the tax rates for married persons filing separately are higher than the joint rates. There are also certain deductions and credits that are not available to you if you file separate returns. However, there are tunes when married couples can save taxes by filing separate returns. If one spouse has large medical expenses or casualty losses and moderate income and the other spouse has few medical or casualty deductions and relatively high income, the expenses may not be deductible if they file jointly but will be deductible if they file separately. In certain cases where one spouse has capita* gains and the other has capital losses, filing separately may give an overall lower tax. In cases where one spouse wishes to limit his or her liability to only his or her facts and figures, separate returns may be advisable. When joint returns are filed, both spouses are liable for the entire amount of the tax, as well as any penalties and interest. With separate returns, each spouse is liable only for the tax liability, penalties, and interest on his or her own return. A decision to file a joint federal return should not keep, you fi$ip evaluating the benefits of filing separately on state tax returns if your state allows that option. Once you’ve filed your returns you may, with amended returns, change from separate filing to joint filing, but you may not switch from a joint return to separate returns. Consult your tax advisor for assistance in making the selection that will give you the lowest overall taxes each year. Q. Earl Yancey, CPA, is a Viewtown resident and maintains his accounting practice in Warrenton. Veterans to get checks Veterans benefit checks will take on a new look beginning April 1. A lightweight paper check will replace the familiar green punched-card check issued by the federal government for the past 40 years. The change is part of a national conversion to paper checks being implemented by the U.S. Department of Treasury. More than four million checks each month go to veterans, spouses and dependent children in compensation, pension, educational or insurance benefit payments. Bi-weekly paychecks for Veterans Administration employees around the country will also take on the new look. The change to paper checks was made because of changes in technology which made the punched-card check system obsolete. The new check, which contains more than a dozen security features, is more difficult to alter or counterfeit, according to Treasury officials. The check’s design features a full-length reproduction of the Statue of Liberty on the left and a muted close-up of the Statue’s head and torch on the right. The check’s colors range from light blue to pale peach with the letters “USA” creating a background pattern. Many veterans and VA employees will not notice the change since 37 percent of those receiving compensation or pension benefits and 47 percent of the employees get thenmoney via electronic transfer, a program strongly encouraged by the VA. The government issues 600 million checks annually. Social Security payments and Internal Revenue Service tax refunds were previously converted. Payments for Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement, Civil Service Retirement and other federal employees will also change to the new check on April 1. Special publicity efforts are being made to alert government check recipients to the change to avoid confusion. Rappahannock Business & Service Directory Call 675-3349 to Place Your Ad!

School RCES students celebrate International Friendship Month Rv nP.RnniH PT fVfnmi — By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock Newa Special Writer Man cannot live by bread alone; however, some Rappahannock children are going far on a diet of bread and friendship. Since the beginning of February some classes from kindergarten through fourth grade have been making Friendship Bread in recognition of International Friendship Month. The school starter dough originated from a kindergarten parent, Margie Cannon. “Betty Hitt of Amissville gave it to my mother-inlaw and she gave it to me. One morning I remembered I needed to give a starter to someone. So I told my daughter Ashleigh to take it to her teacher, Miss Decker. I had no idea she’d make it at school or that it would catch on like it did.” A dough is mixed and must be attended to for 10 days. At the end of 10 days one cup is kept to bake and two cups are passed on to friends. Mrs. Cannon explained, “The first day it is covered. Days two, three, and four it needs to be stirred. On the fifth day a cup of flour, sugar, and milk are added. Stir on days six, seven, eight and nine. On the tenth day take out three cups. Keep one cup and give two cups away.” “To your one cup add two-thirds cup oil, three eggs, one cup sugar, two cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder, one and half teaspoons soda, half teaspoon salt, one and half teaspoons cinnamon, and two teaspoons of vanilla. Beat until smooth and add nuts, raisins, apples or Deborah Flinchum for Ihe Rappahannock News FRIENDSHIP BREAD GETS made as Wanda Payne pours sugar, Bill Martin watches closely, James Fletcher stirs, and Leah Marlett holds the recipe. I wrote the recipe on chart paper. They would look at the recipe and put the ingredients in themselves. Everybody had a chance to put something in and use the electric mixer,” Miss Decker continued. “They put it in the loaf pans and watched it for an hour in the oven. While the bread was rising we couldn’t get any work done because they kept saying, \ ‘Look at the bread, look at the bread, can we have it for lunch?’ ” “They got to taste it at nap time and they all wanted to take some home for their parents. So I gave them some to take home,” she said. Fourth graders commented on why they enjoyed making the bread. James Fletcher said, “It smelled good.” Leah Marlett thought it was fun. “I don’t know how it’s going to turn out. You get to give some to a friend, too.” Wanda Payne exclaimed, “I like it because when it’s finished we get to eat it!” The convection used to bake the bread was provided by the SPTA. Miss Decker concluded, “All the children enjoyed doing it. They were so enthusiastic about it and the bread was really good so I suggested we get it going throughout the school.” The bread and the enthusiasm continue to rise.

In the last week, Wakefield hosted St. Anne’s Belfield and completed its conference schedule with two games against the school. In the first game of the week, Wakefield hosted rival Seton School. The Owls started the game sluggishly and by the end of the first quarter the Wakefield team found themselves behind 19-11. Unfortunately, the break between periods did not help Wakefield’s offense as the Owls were left with a 13-point deficit at halftime. With the start of the second half, Wakefield began to show signs of offense. During the third quarter Wakefield closed the gap to four points before Seton went into its four comer offense. With the Owls’ defense unable to stop Seton, the Wakefield team lost 62-51. In the second game of the week, Wakefield hosted a strong St. Anne’s Belfield team which had defeated the Owls earlier in the season. Once again, Wakefield fell behind early in the first quarter but was able to tie the game by period’s end. With the start of the second quarter, Wakefield surprised the St. Anne’s team with a relentless defense which held them to 10 points in the quarter. Larry Tarr of Warrenton scored six of his team’s 15 points, giving the Owls a 32-28 lead at the half. In the beginning of the second half, Wakefield built a nine-point lead against the visitors, but they went on to be out-scored and the teams were locked in a 48-48 tie as the game ended. In overtime, David Rowzie of Amissville was able to score four of his 12 points, but, even so, the Owls lost 53-52. The final game of the week was a rematch against Seton. Unlike the previous game, Wakefield jumped ahead early in the first quarter. During the second quarter Wakefield increased its lead to nine points on several occasions behind six of Lee Poore’s eight points. With the start of the second half, Seton dissolved Wakefield’s lead little by little, and by the end of the third quarter, the game was tied 38-all. In the final quarter, the teams traded baskets looking for opportunities to break open the game. With 30 seconds left on the clock and the score tied at 44-all, Tarr of Warrenton and Ed McGushin of Haymarket each sank two free throws to give the Owls a 48-46 victory which knocked Seton out of first place in the conference. Wakefield must now begin preparation for the Delaney Conference Tournament which will be held be ginning February 27 at Emmanuel Christian School. The Owls are seeded third in the tournament and will play second-seed Seton in the first round. The winner of this contest will play the winner of the match between top seeded Tara Reston and Emmanuel for the Delaney Championship. Other teams participating in the tourney include *Martinsburg Christian Academy, Shenandoah Valley Academy, and Evangel School. Wakefield’s junior varsity basketball team scored a resounding victory over Seton School’s team in a home game this week. Leading the Owls to the 43-18 victory were Carey Maar of Front Royal with 14 points, followed by Brian McGushin of Haymarket, Robert Roberts of Nokesville, and Treville Lawrence of Warrenton with 13, 4 and 4 points respectively. The Owl squad hit 50 percent from the foul line and with this win clinched first place in the Delaney Tournament with their undefeated record. In commenting on his team’s standing, Coach Gary Leake said, “The team worked hard preparing and work well together. Fans can be assured that next year’s varsity will be very exciting to watch.” Rappahannock News photo/Greg Turner PANTHER JUNIOR VARSITY SET a new scoring record against Clark County — the Panthers whipped ’em 87-38.

Agriculture has political history ■> Virginia fanners and agribusiness join together with all Virginians to commemorate the industry of agriculture and its contribution to all Americans and the people of the world, it may be well to recall that not only were George Washington and Thomas Jefferson the leading political figures of their time but they were also the leading agriculturists of their time,” according to H. Earl Longest, president of the Virginia Agribusiness Council. Mr. Longest said agriculture has played a crucial role in our state and nation’s development since Washington’s and Jefferson’s involvement in the industry. Mr. Longest also said that Americans fed well from the bounty produced by farmers have gone on to make America the strongest nation on earth. “I believe Virginia agricultural leaders will develop the ingenuity and find the fortitude to turn the industry into a profitable industry again. It will take time and there will be many casualties among our practicing farmers as our industry moves into a survival mode before its upswing,” according to Mr. Longest. “I strongly encourage all agricultural interests, the farming community, the agribusiness community and the political leadership to make a strong attempt to better understand the industry’s contribution to the economic system of this country and its people and to join together in providing encouragement, leadership and assistance as the industry adjusts to disinflation of its asset base,” said Mr. Longest. The Council is a non-profit umbrella group that represents through its 55 affiliated agricultural and forestry associations and direct memberships more than 90,000 producers, processors and marketers of agricultural and forestry products and suppliers of goods and services to the agricultural community. Agriculture struggles to pull out of bad times 1985 was an important year for those of us in agriculture, but 1986 can be just as important,” said S. T. Moore, Jr., president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. Mr. Moore was referring to the fact that a new farm bill was developed in 1985 and now, in 1986, we are seeing the beginning of the implementation period as agriculture struggles to pull itself out of the worst period since the depression of the 1930s. “Credit continues to be a big problem for a lot of farmers,” Mr. Moore said. “Not credit from the standpoint of the availability of money, the money is there, but the problem is the ability of the borrower to pay it back. ” “Getting federal budgets under control is our number one priority,” Mr. Moore said. The much discussed Gramm-Rudman law addresses this problem and seeks to assure that some positive action is taken. Unless repealed or declared unconstitutional, this law will cause drastic action to be taken, Mr. Moore believes. “However,” he said, “timely preemptive legislative action by Congress to adopt across-the-board cuts in government spending would get the job done in a much more equitable manner. To exclude Social Security and the other entitlements is unthinkable.” “We are glad to see agriculture recognized for its contributions to society, but it is too bad that it took tough economic times to bring the plight of the farmer before the American people,” Mr. Moore concluded. : Fire prevention campaign to | target arson and debris fires 2 Virginia has experienced some of - the worst fire weather in recent I years. The commonwealth emerged I from the 1985 fire season after expe; riencing more than 2,400 fires which - burned over 12,700 acres of Virginia - woodland. The loss might have been - worse if it had not been for the Division of Forester’s long commitment : to fire prevention. Our neighbors in North Carolina - lost in excess of 149,000 acres in more than 6,000 forest fires. Their - neighbor, South Carolina, lost ' 106,000 acres in more than 10,000 forest fires. The Virginia Division of Forestry each year carefully examines the causes of forest fires in Virginia and throughout the remainder of the south. The Division found that the number of arson fires in Virginia had doubled in 1985, when 18 percent of - forest fires were caused by arson. In one section of the state, 47 percent of all the fires were arson-related. Trash and debris burning have : always accounted for most of the for' est fires in Virginia. So it was no surprise that 35 percent of the fire reports listed debris burning as the fire cause. The Division of Forestry has always strictly enforced Virginia’s fire laws. In 1985, a record 694 fire law cases were processed in court, and 13 people were convicted of arson. Arson-related fires are causing increasing concern throughout the south. Concerned about the increase in arson fires and a continuing debris burning problem, the Virginia Division of Forestry decided to launch a targeted spring fire prevention campaign. This campaign is called the 12 Punch because the first phase will deal with arson and the second phase will deal with debris burning fire causes. In addition to traditional houseto-house contacts, radio and TV public service announcements, news releases and elementary school programs, the Division of Forestry will be releasing two posters featuring Ernest and Tova Borgnine with Smokey Bear. The centerpiece of the Division’s 1986 fire prevention campaign has been the excellent cooperation of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Borgnine. Several months ago, Ernest Borgnine posed with Smokey Bear for an arson poster in Nashville, TN. At the same session, Mr. and Mrs. Borgnine posed with Smokey Bear for a trash and debris burning fire prevention poster. In addition to posing for the fire prevention posters, Mr. and Mrs. Borgnine agreed to come to Virginia to attend the Virginia Forestry Association/Lumber Manufacturers Association annual convention at the Hyatt House in Richmond January 31-February 2. Both posters were released to the public at that meeting. The arson poster, with Ernest Borgnine and Smokey Bear, carries the message, “Stop arson, report fire setters.” This poster will be especially targeted to traditional problem arson areas in Virginia. The appearance of this poster in public places will signal to the general public that there is a concern for arsonrelated forest fires in that area. The second poster featuring Mr. and Mrs. Borgnine and Smokey Bear will be released to the public to coincide with Virginia’s 4 p.m. burning law, which begins March 1 and continues through May 15. This poster carries the message “You can prevent forest fires. Be careful with brush and trash burning.” The appearance of this poster in public places and communities throughout Virginia notifies the general public that the Division of Forestry is concerned about debris burning forest fires in their area. Another important reason for the spring fire prevention effort is the recently released Economic Study that shows Virginia’s forest resource is worth $4.2 billion to the commonwealth each year. Managing and protecting this resource is the responsibility of the Virginia Division of Forestry. Forest fires that bum through quality hardwood stands ruin the lower portion of the tree which is the most valuable cut for veneer and quality lumber. Most pulpwood and paper companies cannot utilize wood that has been burned in forest fires. Protecting the forest resource means securing a supply of timber for an industry that contributes 4.5 percent of the gross state product and 9 percent of the locally derived revenues for education each year. The forest industry employs one out of every seven Virginians involved in manufacturing. It supplies $1 out of every $8 in salary and $1 out of every $9 in value added through manufacturing. Preventing forest fires also means protecting the total value of the forest resource which includes hunting, fishing and other recreational opportunities such as hiking, backpacking and simply enjoying the woodland. An 8-year-old girl recently summed up the fire prevention efforts by saying, “Nature gave it to us, let’s keep it.” Electric company gets high marks Customer attitudes toward the Potomac Edison Company have improved measurably over the past two years, according to the results of the electric utility’s 1985 Customer Opinion Survey. Ninety-two percent of the company’s residential customers rated their overall impression of the company as satisfactory to excellent, compared to 90 percent in 1983. The survey is conducted every two years and draws from a random sample of the company’s 246,000 residential customers. Survey forms were mailed to a sample of 3,560 customers. The 41.3 percent response rate statistically qualifies the results as 95 percent accurate plus or minus 2 percentage points. Customers receive a survey containing 30 questions, soliciting responses about the value of electricity, energy conservation, type of appliances used in the home, in what ways does Potomac Edison do a good or poor job of providing ‘service, the main fuel used to heat the home, government regulation of utilities, and more. Ninety-five percent of the residential customers rated service provided by the company as satisfactory to excellent compared to 90 percent in 1983. Most customers agree (82 percent) that the company should maintain reliability and dependability as opposed to cutting maintenance expenses in order to keep rates down. Residential customers rated electricity as the best value compared to eight other products and services, including clothing, food, telephone, gasoline, postage, prescription drugs, taxes and natural gas. Sixty percent of those surveyed replied that their electric bill is reasonable or low, while 38 percent felt it was too high. Ninety percent of PE customers said the company’s promotion of energy conservation was satisfactory to excellent. Sixty-five percent favored legislation that would require minimum standards for insulation in new homes. Yet, most customers opposed government legislation that would require higher electric rates to subsidize weatherization programs to disadvantaged low-income customers. Seventy-seven percent of PE’s residential customers opposed programs for low-income customers if it would mean these programs would be subsidized through their electric and gas bills. Seventy-seven percent also said residential electric customers should not be charged higher rates so that low income users can be charged lower rates. The survey indicates these other findings about PE residential customers: 82 percent live in a single family house; 33 percent use electricity as the main fiiel to heat their homes, up from 27 percent in 1983 surveys; 73 percent said their main source of information about Potomac Edison was through bill inserts; 27 percent said their main source of information about the company was through newspapers; 11 percent through television; 7 percent got their information from other PE employees; 6 percent through radio; and 2 percent responded “other.” 51 percent of PE customers live in residences that are 20 years old or less, while 49 percent live in dwellings 21 years and older. 70 percent of those customers, who purchased a mjgor appliance in 1985 bought one with a high energyefficiency rating compared to 60 percent in 1983, 51 percent in 1981, and 37 percent in 1979. The first-time question, “Do you have a home computer?” revealed the following response — 87 percent, no; 11 percent, yes; no response, 2 percent. 85 percent of the respondents rate PE satisfactory to excellent in providing emergency repair service when the power is out.

The temperatures are warming and the days are getting longer. This means high fire danger until about mid-May, when vegetation has fully greened up. To lessen the risk of a trash or debris fire escaping, Virginia has the 4 p.m. burning law. This law states that NO OPEN AIR BURNING CAN BE DONE WITHIN 300 FEET OF WOODLAND (or any material such as a broomsedge field that is capable of carrying a fire to woodland) EXCEPT BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 4 P M. AND 12 MIDNIGHT. The law applies to any open air burning from March 1 to May 15. After 4 p.m., the temperature and wind have decreased and the relative humidity has gone up. Burning under these conditions is now safer, but not totally safe. If you have trash or debris to bum, wait until a damp, wet day even though it may be after 4 p.m. Burning in a barrel without a lid or cover or a barrel that has holes is considered an open air fire. If your barrel has holes in it and no lid to fully cover the top, wait until after 4 p.m. Every year, we have several forest fires as a result of burning in a barrel. There are other forest fire laws that are in effect the year round. Also, whoever lets a fire escape shall be liable for the suppression costs incurred. Below are some other important laws regarding fire safety. • Failure to totally extinguish a fire before leaving it unattended is illegal. Atkins on dean’s list Cathy Ann Atkins of Flint Hill has been named to the Longwood College dean’s list. She is one of 216 students cited for outstanding academic achievement during the first semester of 1985-86. These students earned an academic average of at least 3.5 (B +). There were 36 Longwood students who made 4.0 or all A’s. 17 •Carelessly setting a fire that damages or jeopardizes the property of another, including the dumping of hot ashes, is also illegal. •Failure to take the necessary precautions to prevent a fire escaping is another violation. •Throwing inflammatory objects, such as cigarettes or matches, from New plan to suppress gypsy moths The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services held a hearing February 14 to discuss joint state and local plans to suppress gypsy moth infestations throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. The proposed plan outlines a suppression program that incorporates various treatment strategies and controls that have been proven effective in other states which have had to deal with gypsy moth infestations. Approximately $120,000 has been set aside in the budget for costsharing programs to deal with this potentially devastating problem. This fund will be utilized, in part, to spray about 26,000 acres in the most critically affected areas of the Commonwealth, including portions of Clarke and Warren Counties. Most of the damage inflicted by gypsy moths is done during their caterpillar stage, when the insects feed on the leaves of hardwood and conifer trees, resulting in defoliation and a concomitant drain on the tree’s production of food. The gypsy moth also has been known to damage property, such as houses and mailboxes, as it leaves behind indelible stains after attaching itself to the surface of the property. The life cycle of the gypsy moth mandates that programs be implemented by Arpil 15 to combat the damages associated with gypsy moth infestation. First, eggs are laid on a variety of surfaces, including trees and farm machinery. These eggs hatch in mid-April, and the larvae reach the caterpillar stage by mid-June. The gypsy moth caterpil a vehicle is a violation of state law. These laws are designed for the protection of you and your neighbors. If everyone uses safe burning practices, we can have a fire-safe spring. For more information you can contact the Virginia Division of Forestry by calling 948-5341. lar is readily recognizable by the twin red dots on either side of its back that travel the length of the caterpillar. By early July, the insect is in its pupid stage, and by midJuly, the gypsy moth assumes its white-colored moth adult status. Various treatment strategies to deal with the gypsy moth infestation problem are being implemented by the state on a 50/50 cost share basis. The treatments prescribed for lowdensity areas of moth infestation include traps, burlap bands, lure tapes, and parasites which prey on the moth. As for high-density areas of infestation, spraying of pesticides, either from the air or the ground, has been recommended. The pesticides involved have been thoroughly researched and tested for possible harmful side effects to animals, crops and humans. The spraying program is specifically voluntary, as any landowner with property located within the designated aerial spraying areas may opt out of the spraying of his land. Any inquiries involving the gypsy moth program being implemented in your area should be addressed to the gypsy moth coordinator of your local governing body. For additional information regarding gypsy moths, please write Thomas B. Finn, Regional Supervisor, Bureau of Plant Protection and Pesticide Regulation, 234 West Shirley Avenue, Warrenton, VA 22186 or call (703) 347-2188; Del.

Computer course Continued from page 1 for four years, and teaching at Lord Fairfax for a year. He now owns his own computer consulting company. “I think every student should be exposed to computers,” Mr. Blohowiak explained. “By the time they get out of school they should be aware that computers exist in any kind of application and they should know what type of computer will be available for their field of interest. ” Mr. Blohowiak continued, “Computers now are used as a tool in any kind of field from measuring feed for dairy cattle to controlling saws at lumber mills, to scheduling trucking routes for them. A person doesn’t have to be a computer expert anymore to be aware of what’s going on in the computer world. “In the classroom environment they can be an invaluable tool to an instructor when used correctly. Computers augment the class, freeing the teachers up to work on problem areas,” he said. “I have seen programs where they used computers to help the disabled and mentally retarded. Hand and eye coordination can be developed by moving a joystick mouse which makes something move around on the screen. The computer has patience to sit there and work with somebody at their level and rate of speed. It’s useful as soon as a child can push a key and realize it’s doing something.” Mr. Blohowiak stated that computers can also benefit administrators. “Bringing in computers doesn’t get rid of people. All it does is make more data available in a. much more organized fashion at a faster rate so you can assemble a lot more information at a^time. As soon as an administration gets complex enough where they’re having to work past 5:00 they’re ready to start looking at using a computer to handle all the rote jobs that take up time.” Teachers can benefit by using computers for making up quizzes and keeping any types of records or yearly inventories. Mr. Blohowiak said, “It would cut down on wasted paper and ditto masters. The initial outlay of putting management skills on a computer can be time consuming, but after that, it will pay for itself. “The most valuable use of a computer for the average family is if there are kids going through school,” said Mr. Blohowiak. “It becomes an invaluable tool that can be available to them at home. Word processing for doing reports and educational programs would be useful. Also, the family could keep any type of records, inventories, or anything that reqbires accountant type ledgers on it. “I feel the Rappahannock County schools have made a good start with what they have here already. I was impressed to see what was available when I came in. Here they’re already using some of the things we covered in class,” Mr. Blohowiak continued. “The problem comes from not having enough computers to really give a large amount of access to the students. It would be nice to have a centralized location with at least ten computers that could be scheduled where all students would have access to them on a weekly basis,” he suggested. “There is a popular concept that computers are a high art that only belongs to mystics. The computer doesn’t require a person to have a high education to have one or use one. It’s just a tool like a pencil or calculator. If you sit down and read the manual you can do it.” Now, how did you get through that door? Mr. Blohowiak posed leading questions to develop logical thinking which is necessary when operating a computer. “Consciously we walk to the door, open it and go through. But subconsiously we think — is the door open or closed? If it is closed which side is the knob on? Is it a sliding door? A push door? A pull door? If there is a knob, do you turn it left or right? Is it locked? If it is, which key will open it?” Mr. Blohowiak concluded, ‘Tn order to use the computer you have to be able to bring all of these procedures out and tell the computer exactly what to do to open that door.” Auto accident Continued from page 1 Dr. Roda was travelling with his wife and a child who were apparently unharmed, although Dr. Roda complained of a sore shoulder as well as soreness in the upper part of his body, according to the trooper.

W. Beecher '■cvfwcvcvcvcfeicvcvcvcwcwcvcvcvcvcvcvwcvcvn'iwcvcvcvcvro'cvcw NUGGETS OF TRUTH By PASTOR BOB DUNPHY Family Worship Center Washington, Va. Last week at the end of Nuggets I told you I would share some of the dally confessions I make to the Father God. I know these will help you in your walk with Christ. Father your word tells me in Duet. 34:7 that Moses lived 120 years, his eyes were not dim, nor his natural force abated. So I see in your word that I can have this because Acts 10:34 says you are no respector of persons. And Father I also see in Ex. 15:26 that if I obey your word you will not allow any sickness or disease to be put on me, for you are the Lord that healeth me. That is Jehovah Rapha. Then Father as I look through your word you say in Ex. 23:25 & 26 you will take sickness away from the midst of me and the number of my days you will fulfill. Father I believe as I am a doer of your word, the Holy Ghost will guide me and tell me what I should or should not eat, and when I have had enough to eat. You know I am your son and I know you love me. This is true because I do confess Jesus as my Lord, and I follow him. He has purchased me with his own blood and washed me clean. 1 John 1:7. Therefore I can come boldly into the throne of grace that I may obtain mercy, and find help in time of need, (taken from Heb. 4:16) You see Father, your word tells me that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law; Gal. 3:13. Eph. 1:7 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins;" Father the curse of the law is for those who are guilty of sins. Those can expect sickness and disease; but not me because I have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and I do my best to walk in His footsteps. And as I pray every day and ask forgiveness according to 1 John 1:9, I am made righteous once again. Thank you Father in Jesus name. And you say in Heb. 10:17 “and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." So now I am not a sinner or a worm in the dust. I can pray and believe like it says in Mark 11:23 I can have whatsoever I say, so I claim all of your healing scriptures. Please keep this article and like I said at the beginning of the article it will help you in your daily life, it has helped me.
