Virginia 22747 Phone 675-3349 25 cents Baliles defends road commission’s plan By DONALD DEL ROSSO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICHMOND — Gov. Gerald L. Baliles last Thursday said the General Assembly’s decisions on recommendations by a special transportation board could significantly affect commerce and the “quality of life” in Virginia for many years to come. In an impassioned speech before the Senate Transportation and Finance committees, the governor said: “To talk about transportation in Virginia is to discuss one of the fundamental requirements of life and economic health.” Gov. Baliles was the first of about six state officials who defended a controversial package of tax measures and pledge bonds designed to raise $6.3 billion to help fund a massive statewide roadbuilding progam. Virginia’s road construction needs during the next decade are estimated at $10.2 billion. The briefing on the recommendations by the Commission on Transportation in the Twenty-First Century lasted nearly five hours. The governor emphasized repeatedly the importance of the task before the General Assembly. “There is no question,” he told the committee members. “We have tackled a problem of intimidating dimension. In a sense, we are out to discover if Virginia can seize control of its own destiny by adequately preparing its transportation system for present and future demands.” The governor, apparently speaking to critics who believe Virginia’s transportation needs have been overstated, said the transportation commission “confirmed our fears” about the magnitude of the problem. “We do indeed face transpor tation conditions . . . that, if allowed to continue unaddressed, could strangle our commerce and erode the quality of our lives.” Gov. Baliles acknowledged that commission members “struggled over the issues . . . But, in the end, for the good of the commonwealth, each member approved the report —the recommendations were adopted unanimously.” Beginning Sept. 15, the General Assembly will hold a special session to discuss the commission’s recommendations. Interviews with dozens of legislators around the state indicate the recommendations could be pared down. The recommendations call for: • A three-quarter-cent increase in the state sales tax, which is now four cents on the dollar. • A 4-cent increase in the state gasoline tax, from 15 cents to 19 cents a gallon. • A 2 percent increase in the motor vehicle sales tax, known as the “titling tax,” with the value of trade-in vehicles deducted from the purchase price. The value of trade-ins cannot be deducted for tax purposes under the current formula. • The first-ever use of state bond issues to supplement other funding sources. The bonds include revenue bonds for projects and “pledge” bonds that would be repaid from designated revenue sources, such as the gasoline tax. • The creation of a Virginia Transportation Board to assume broad authority over funding of all capital projects involving highways, airports and seaports. Continued on page 16 Road discussions reflect concerns By DONALD DEL ROSSO Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer RICHMOND—The Senate Rules Committee wants to broaden discussion of roadbuilding revenue measures during the General Assembly’s special session beginning Sept. 15. The members also agreed the session should run no later than Sept. 27, though most said it should last about a week. Reflecting some dissatisfaction with the scope of the revenue proposals by the Commission on Transportation in the 21st Century, the powerful committee agreed last Thursday that senators should be allowed to introduce additional legislation directly related to raising funds to help finance the statewide roadbuilding program. But Senate Rules Chairman Hunter B. Andrews (D-Hampton) warned the stipulations are “tentative” until the committee meets with the House Rules Committee. No date was set for that meeting. The blue-ribbon commission estimates Virginia’s transportation needs are $10.2 billion during the next 10 years. Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun/Fairfax) and other legislators doubt the commission’s tax and pledge bond proposals will generate enough revenue to cover critical road needs in the state’s rapidly growing urban and suburban areas. For that reason, the rules committee member and chairman of the Senate Transportation Commission firmly believes localities should be empowered to raise road funds as need be. Sen. Waddell has suggested that could be accomplished on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis or through groups of governments. Such local options could include the so-called “Loudoun Initiative,” which would permit counties and cities to increase the recordation fee on property. Loudoun County supervisor Frank Raflo, who spearheaded the proposal, believes Loudoun’s recordation fee should be increased from 5 percent to 15 percent for every $100 assessed value. Nine cents would go back to the state and be put in a special road construction trust, according to the plan. Sen. Waddell also supports the Special Transportation District concept, which permits governments to “impose special taxes or assessments upon users of such facilities” and anyone who would benefit by them. And he favors the creation of a “public-private partnership mechanism” to allow business and industry to share transportation costs. Though the rules committee didn’t address any specific local revenue options, most members seemed sympathetic to opening the Senate floor to the commission’s recommendations. Of a proposal to create a state lottery to help pay for transportation needs, Sen. William E. Fears (D-Accomac) said: “I certainly don’t want to cut off (Del. J.W. “Billy” O’Brien Jr.-D-Virginia Beach) to put in a bill for transportation needs, even it’s for a lottery.” Del. O’Brien has fought long for a Virginia lottery, but to no avail. Senate Rules Committee Chairman Hunter B. Andrews (D-Hampton) said he favors “broadening the horizens (during the special Sept. 15 session) but limiting it to the subject matter.” Sen. Dudley J. Emmick (DFincastle) agreed. “With this kind of package, there (should) be additional options available to us.” Discussion among the senators became heated when Sen. Andrews said the session might exceed a week. Continued on page 15 Senator Miller meets with residents By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer State Senator Kevin G. Miller (R-26th) came to Rappahannock County on Tuesday to solicit input from citizens about the proposals advanced by Governor Gerald Baliles’ Commission on Transportation in the 21st Century. Senator Miller indicated that the only proposal he “flatly would not vote for is debt-financing” for transportation. “I don’t want to get into borrowing.” He cited as an example the federal government. “If it wasn’t for the federal deficit — the government would have a surplus this year.” Questioned as to his reaction to the commission’s other recommendations, the senator replied that “that’s why I’m here. I’m trying to get a feeling for the attitude of the people.” He said that the establishment of a transportation “superboard” to oversee transportation matters “. . . has merit. We have to look carefully; to make sure that its powers are not too broad.” He added that the board’s oversight capacity would give it an objective view of the entire scope of transportation needs: seaports, airports, mass transit, railroads and highways. The recommendations contained in the commission’s report, which will be addressed during the special session of the General Assembly which begins September 15, include a rise in the state sales tax of up to one percent; a doubling of the vehicle titling tax from two to four percent and a four cent per gallon gasoline tax. Senator Miller observed that he does not feel that the four cent gas tax will go through. He said that he thinks it is unfair to working people, “especially in rural areas, where you have to drive wherever you go.” Asked about a lottery to generate revenue, he replied that he finds it is an idea worth looking into. He explained that a funding source such as a lottery is fairer, because only those who choose to participate pay the money. Mr. Miller said that the Culpeper Highway District should see “a tangible increase” in highway construction funds for long-awaited projects. He said that it will be unlike the Critical Highway Improvement Projects (CHIPS) announced by the Highway Department recently, which Senator Miller described as “a reaction to an emergency situation . . . but kind of a wash for Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties.” He said that under the com Nominees named to replace Judge Penn By MICHAELCODY Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer James H. Chamblin and William B. Hanes, both longtime Leesburg lawyers, were recommended Aug. 27 by the judicial selection committee of the Loudoun County Bar Association to replace Judge Carle ton Penn of the 20th Circuit Court, who announced in late July his intention to retire. The 20th Circuit Court includes the counties of Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun. Mr. Hanes, 45, was bom in Washington, D.C. and graduated from Herndon High School in 1959. He graduated from HampdenSydney College in Farmville in 1965, and from the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond in 1968. He practiced law from 1968 to 1974 in Herndon, before coming to Leesburg in 1974, and now practices law with the firm Hanes, Sevila, Saunders and McCahill in Leesburg. (One partner, Burke F. McCahill, is a substitute judge for Loudoun’s general district court.) Mr. Hanes was president of the Loudoun Bar Association for the year 1984-85. William and Carol Hanes have two children. Mr. Chamblin, who turns 40 Sept. 9, was bom in Leesburg, and graduated from Loudoun County High School in 1964. He graduated from HampdenSydney College in 1968, and from the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond in 1971, and began to practice law in Leesburg that year. Mr. Chamblin, who practices law now with the firm Hazel, Beckhorn and Hanes (the third man is a cousin of William B. Hanes) was president of the Loudoun County Bar Association during 1980-81. James and Patricia Chamblin have two children. The judicial selection committee, made up of seven Loudoun County Bar Association members, is chaired by Richard Saunders, also a Leesburg attorney. Saunders stressed last week that the committee had attempted to choose the best qualified candidates, but that all those who had applied for consideration were qualified. He would not say who, or how many people had applied. The recommendations of the judicial selection committee are not binding, as more nominations may be made from the floor when the Loudoun County Bar Association meets again Sept. 11 in meeting called especially to make its recommendation to the General Assembly in Richmond. In fact, not even that recommendation will be binding, since more nominations may be made to the Courts of Justice committees in the Virginia Senate and Virginia House of Delegates by the Rappahannock and Fauquier bar associations, or by delegates or senators on the floor. Rappahannock and Fauquier bar association members contacted Tuesday said that their organizations had not yet recommended attorneys to replace Judge Penn. In fact, Fauquier is putting together a judicial recommendation process modeled on that of Loudoun, Continued on pa^e 1 5 msm ■ m > in i m m—iminn iiiiiiiiwiwiiiiuiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii li—wmn i i y Wm Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter STATE SENATOR KEVIN G. MILLER listens to concerns of Rappahannock residents on Tuesday. Hugo and Catherine Sinnott of Flint Hill spoke with the senator about the truck problem on Rt. 522, the high cost of school books and building permit regulations. mission’s proposals secondary road funding would triple in fiscal year 1987-88. In addition, funding for unpaved road construction and maintenance would skyrocket 350 percent during the first full year of the program. Some good news for Rappahannock residents was announced at the briefing held at Germanna Community College last Friday to acquaint the public with the transportation commission’s recommendations. The widening of Route 17 in Fauquier County is included in the funding proposals, which upon completion will reopen the road to truck traffic. The estimated price tag for that 9.1 mile project is $16 million. The completion of that project and the reopening of Rt. 17 should reduce the number of tractor-trailer trucks travelling the highways in Rappahannock. Senator Miller said that he has been receiving “a lot of mail about the tractor-trailer problem in the county.” Another long-promised project was also included in the funding proposals: the widening of Rt. 211 to four lanes from Washington through Sperrvville. That project is estimated to cost $11.2 million for the 8.2 mile stretch. Since the commission’s recommendations have not yet been adopted, no timetables have been announced for completion of any of the projects identified for priority treatment by the Highway Department. The funding for Rappahannock County projects will jump dramatically, as the following figures indicate. The current budget for secondary road construction for fiscal year 1986-87 is $120,075. If the commission's recommendations are adopted and become effective in January, the first six months of 1987 (until the end of the fiscal year on June 30), would see an additional $251,132 made available for use in the county. In the following fiscal year the expenditures would jump to $425,523. Rappahannock, however, is still on the bottom as far as allotments go. Albemarle County would be allocated $2,833,706 in FY 1987-88 for secondary road construction. Rappahannock has the lowest allotment of any jurisdiction in the Culpeper highway district. The county fares slightly better in funding for unpaved road construction. Those funds will jump from the present $88,555 to $180,993 under the commission’s plan. FY 1987-88 would see the funding rise to $305,715. That’s still much below Fauquier County’s $891,834 (highest in the district), followed by Albemarle County’s allocation of $870,138. It is, however, more money than Fluvanna, Greene and Orange counties received under the proposals. The experts present at the briefing stressed that the cost figures and project analysis was based on a preliminary assessment of the commission’s report, and do not represent any final determinations. School census shows drop in students By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The recently completed school census shows a continued decline in the number of school aged children in Rappahannock, a trend that was evident in the U.S. censuses for 1970 and 1980. However, the number of those 19 years old and under counted by the school enumerators this year -1,222 — falls far short of the 1,801 in the same age range counted by U.S. census takers six years ago. The identical group can be used for comparison by looking at one age range for 1980 and then increasing that range by six years for 1986. U.S. census takers going door-to-door in 1980 counted 1,051 children 12 years and younger. Six years later, school enumerators — who were also supposed to have gone doorto-door -counted just 930 young people between the ages of six and 18. That’s a decline of 12 percent for that segment of the population, and comes at a time when the provisional estimate from the University of Virginia’s Tayloe Murphy Institute shows no change in the county’s population as a whole between 1980 and 1985. Superintendent Robert Estabrook announced the school census totals at the school board’s meeting on August 12. According to the superintendent’s summary, enumerators working by districts throughout the county reported 34 children one year old and younger, 44 two-year-olds, 30 three-year-olds, 52 four-yearolds, 60 five-year-olds, 59 sixyear-olds, 67 seven-year-olds, 60 eight-year-olds, 72 nine-yearolds, 56 ten-year-olds, 66 elevenyear-olds, 80 twelve-year-olds, 72 thirteen-year-olds, 69 fourteenyear-olds, 80 fifteen-year-olds, 91 sixteen-year-olds, 73 seventeenyear-olds, 85 eighteen-year-olds and 72 nineteen-year-olds. The 1,222 total reached by school enumerators represents a 12 percent drop from the 1,398 counted in the 1983 school census. While the number of children appears to have dropped, judging from school census results, the number of handicapped children has increased. In 1983, school census enumerators counted 113 handicapped between the ages of one year and 21, the age span for which state and federal law madates services from the schools. That number increased by 15 percent to 131 in the 1986 school census. The breakdown shows 10 emotionally disturbed,Two hearing impaired, 44 learning disabled, 16 mentally retarded, three multiply handicapped, three physically handicapped and 53 speech impaired.

There’s still plenty of light for outdoor activities in the evening, though the days are getting shorter. Harvest Moon: Full moon occurs on September 18th at 12:34 a.m. and is called the Harvest Moon since it is the first full moon nearest the Autumnal Equinox when moon rise is close on the heels of sunset for several successive days. According to tradition and folk customs, the extra light provided by the moon at this time gave the farmers additional hours in which to finish up the chores in the fields and bring in the harvest. Weather Watch: After a summer that saw devastating drought in many parts of the country and an over-abundance of moisture in others, we can look forward to higher temperatures but average rainfall during September. The peak of the hurricane season arrives mid-month so keep a tornado watch the 8th-10th along the MidAtlantic Coast.

Rappahannock News file photo A FALL RITUAL IS entering its 30th year. Over the years many people have helped in the creation of the dried flower bouquets at the Trinity Episcopal Church. (1. to r.) Helen Fairfax, Louise Eastham and Lois Snead are among the many volunteers who have helped in years past. Trinity flower show: a story-book history OS\CE LFPOS\ LA ‘TlJYfE, there was a ladies’ auxiliary that had a budget of just $300 a year. The money came from church suppers and bazaars and the ladies worked oh so very hard to earn it. They wanted to make more so they could help their little church build a parish halt They thought and they thought and they thought, but they just couldn’t see what they could do. Then one day, they found three magic gourds. The gourds blossomed with wild flowers the first year and then they began multiplying and multiplying and multiplying until they overflowed from the little church. People from the city heard about the beautiful flowers that lasted forever. They came by the hundreds to buy the lovely bouquets. And the ladies made lots of money and helped thenlittle church build a parish hall. If the history of Trinity Church’s Dried Flower Sale and House Tour was a fairy tale, that’s how it would go. Now in its 30th year, the annual event began when Dotsy Davis gathered wild materials for three arrangements in gourds. At church bazaar time, Mrs. Davis had just finished flower school and a book on dried arrangements. “It was fascinating. It opened a whole new world,” she recalled in a recent taperecorded interview with Maurice Herndon. So she made three Colonial-type arrangements for the bazaar and they sold immediately. The next year as bazaar time neared, she remembered that small success and enlisted the help of Lois Snead and Flossie Williamson, Woodville’s renowned herb lady who grew flowers in profusion. They made 30 arrangements and made $300. Like the magic beans in another fairy tale, the dried arrangement just kept on growing. The next year, more than 100 were put together with assistance from Mrs. Hennings and from Ruth Pillar, who made miniatures. They were displayed at the Rappahannock County Garden Club’s house tour and educational exhibit on drying and arranging flowers. “Then we took them to ‘Woodies’ at Seven Comers and sold them for $1500,” Mrs. Davis recalled. When the Episcopal churchwomen took over sponsorship of the house tour, they continued with the sale of dried flowers as well. “It was tough going,” Mrs. Davis noted. “We sold the arrangements out of the houses and then we had to make new ones overnight!” me group now mciuaea uoi Estes, Jean McNear, Quita Parrish, Mrs. Williamson, Mrs. Snead, Mrs. Pillar and Mrs. Davis. “We started holding symposiums to teach new arrangers,” she said. “Some of those who had dried the flowers didn’t want the beginners tearing their work up. If you don’t dry, you don’t realize the time and effort it takes.” The delicate flowers that add a touch of elegance to dried arrangements ~ peonies, roses, larkspur, delphinium — “require much more effort,” she explained. “They’re a real challenge.” And all flowers, both hard and easy dryers, are affected by climatic conditions. “One season, they’ll dry beautifully, and another season, they won’t dry at all,” Mrs. Davis noted. “Sometimes, it’s disastrous,” she said. The flowers come out of the drying medium - sand, borax or commeal - and fall to pieces, rotted or eaten by bugs. In the early 1960’s, the arrangers t began enlisting help from children, * 10 to 15 year-olds who could turn out a $3.50 arrangement in an hour, Mrs. Davis related. “Then, when they went away to school, we got their mothers. That’s how we got Christine (Johnston), the champion maker of all time!” Matilda Walker, Louise Eastham and Julia Settle joined. “Through the years, we’ve had a lot of people who helped us,” Mrs. Davis recalled, pointing out that it takes a lot of work to produce the 400 or so arrangements that are sold in the parish hall on tour day. Seeds are started in February and plants set out in May. Wild material — rabbit’s tobacco, old man’s love, dock, sumac and golden rod ~ is gathered from roadsides, woods and farm fields. Throughout the summer, blossoms are dried in hot Rappahannock attics. Then from Labor Day through the third week in October, 20 to 25 women gather at the parish hall to make the arrangements. And that’s just the flower side. There’s another component: the handsome Rappahannock homes that are opened to the public for the weekend of the dried flower sale. “We try to get a small, a medium and a large house. Also a modem, a Victorian and an old variety,” Mrs. Davis noted. “We never had a failure but some tours have been smoother than others. One year, we had celebrity houses and we had so many people, we couldn’t handle them all. . . Jack and Marie (Kilpatrick) walked up and down the line of visitors waiting to get in, shaking hands with them all.” Another year, a sleet storm hit Rappahannock on tour day. One of the houses on the tour was unheated. “We had fires in all the fireplaces and the owners served sherry. No one wanted to leave,” related Mrs. Davis, laughing. But, despite an occasional snag, despite the pressure on the owners to turn living quarters into dust-free showplaces, those whose homes have been on the tour unanimously agree that it’s a delightful experience. “The people who come are not only interested but interesting,” testified one satisfied participant. There are others who help besides the arrangers and the folks who open their homes to the streams of visitors. Hostesses, graduates of a short course in house history, are on duty in various rooms to direct visitors to points of interest. A publicity committee sends out hundreds of tour brochures that bring visitors from Richmond, Baltimore, the Valley and Washington, D. C. A cleanup committee trails the arrangers in the parish hall, sorting through and collecting the tender blossoms that have fallen on the floor. Volunteers post directional signs throughout the county. Boy Scouts help park cars at the tour houses. And though the dried flower sale is primarily the work of the churchwomen, churchmen have also played a part through the years. Mrs. Davis’s husband George, Rappahannock’s former Commonwealth’s Attorney, was drafted to help with wiring the arrangements. After watching the ladies for a while, he began sorting flowers into piles of the colors he liked. His wife suggested that he make an arrangement of his own. “A friend bought it sight unseen. She didn’t want him to be embarrassed,” Mrs. Davis related. Then the owner of George’s handiwork was so delighted with her purchase that she ordered five from him the following year. “He was proud as a peacock! He started collecting from Vermont to Florida -- everywhere we went that summer.” The ladies had been selling their arrangements for $7.50. But George looked at all the effort and said “No way,” Mrs. Davis remembered. “He put $15 on his.” And they sold. He was convinced that the churchwomen were underpricing. “He checked florist prices and found they were getting six or seven times more than we were.” But he couldn’t convince the pricing committee to up the charge. Not one to give up easily, George “snuck in the night before and doubled the prices!” Mrs. Davis recalled. “The women were irate and furious, but we sold just as many and made twice as much money!” In the 30 years since the Dried Flower Sale and House Tour began, the event has become important to the community as well as to Trinity Church, Mrs. Davis said. “It’s turned into a fall festival. Other groups now have activities on the same day.” There’s satisfaction in drying flowers and creating beautiful arrangements. There’s satisfaction in making money for the church, Mrs. Davis acknowledged. But the greatest satisfaction comes, she concluded, from the fellowship that has developed among people working together.

Supreme b ta CENTRAL HARDWARE CO. 172 East Davis Street, Culpeper, Virginia 825-9224 Slaughter reports on defense, budget, tax bill Congressman D. French Slaughter, Jr. reported that the House of Representatives has passed a national defense authorization bill for next fiscal year. The bill will now be reviewed by a conference committee to work out differences between the House and Senate versions. The House bill reduced the defense budget authority to $286.5 billion for next year compared to $292 billion for this fiscal year and $292 billion for last year — reductions which are greater than nearly all of the other Federal agencies, the Congressman noted. “We must be careful to provide for a national defense strong enough to assure the safety of our country to the best of our judgment,” he warned. Congressman Slaughter added that he voted against the bill that passed “because of several sections in it which are ill-advised. For example, I opposed the largely unprecedented arms control and foreign policy provisions limiting President Reagan’s authority to decide upon and conduct such policies on behalf of our government.” Spending vs. Gramm-Rudman At this point, it seems unlikely that Congress will meet the $144 billion deficit target for 1987 set by Gramm-Rudman-Hollings legislation to achieve a balanced federal budget by 1991, Congressman Slaughter said. “In the past few weeks, I have voted against appropriations bills for a number of governmental agencies that did not freeze their budget appropriations at last year’s spending levels in order to meet the goals on deficit reduction and a balanced budget over the next five years,” he explained. Congress should make every effort to make its own choices about reductions in spending levels for various government activities before going to the automatic reduction process that is expected to take place if Congress fails to reach the goal it has fixed for deficit reduction in the coming year, Mr. Slaughter added. Agreement on tax bill Recently the Conference Committee on the tax reform bill reached an agreement on the differences between the House and Senate versions of the legislation. The committee recommended a 34 percent top on the tax rate for corporations and brackets of 15 and 28 percent for most individuals. Eighty percent of individuals will be in the 15 percent tax bracket. In order to lower the rates, a number of tax deductions were eliminated or limited and more of the income tax burden was shifted from individuals to businesses, Congressman Slaughter explained. Unfortunately, the tax bill is not simplification, Mr. Slaughter stated. “The Congress has missed an opportunity to greatly simplify the preparation of income tax returns for individual taxpayers who wish to itemize their deductions. Also, there are many provisions of the compromise bill still to be announced. Many of these are important, including provisions regarding the effective dates of the new law.” In the House of Representatives, the report is likely to be considered under a rule which will prohibit or severely restrict any amendments. Therefore, the vote on the bill presented by the Conference Committee will be a vote as to whether the tax revision bill is an improvement over the present tax code or not, the Seventh District representative concluded.

Royal Avenue Front Royal, Virginia 635 2153 Wingfield’s weather Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield reported that August was a bit kinder to the county’s farmers than was June or July. Despite a dry beginning, heavy thundershowers on a semi-regular basis during the middle to later part of the month left Rappahannock’s farmers, gardeners and well-watchers with 3.93 inches of precipitation for August. That averages out to about three-quarters of an inch per week, which Mr. Wingfield termed “pretty good”. In comparison, last year August brought Rappahannock only 3.49 inches of rain, while in 1984 the county was inundated with 9.2ri inches. Sperryville’s amateur meteorologist, who reports his readings to Channel 4 in D. C., as well as the National Weather Service, added that August is historically the wettest month of the year in the county. He reported that the nearly four inches for the month was preceded by 4.18 inches during July. June was a scorching month in the county, with only 1.45 inches reported by Mr. Wingfield for the entire month. The cool temperatures which graced the area over the holiday weekend represented quite a departure from the blazing heat and scorching sun which have covered the county for most of the summer. On August 25, the mercury dipped to 4£ degrees, the first time it had slid that low since June 26. Mr. Wingfield drew a comparison with the cool late August temperatures last year, but quickly cautioned against betting on an early fall. “Last year, September fourth to the tenth was 90 or above every day, after August had produced cool temperatures just like this. The abrupt drop in the mercury that Monday night had Rappahannock residents scrambling for blankets. Mr. Wingfield said that the thermometer slid 15 degrees in five and a half hours (from 73 degrees at 4:30 p.m. to 58 at 10:05) and then plunged another nine degrees during the night to the low of 49 at just before 7 a.m. Tuesday. Mr. Wingfield said that average daytime temperatures are running “about par with last year, about onehalf degree below normal. But nighttime readings are about three and a half degrees above.” Most of the precipitation for the month fell on the 20th and 21st, he reported. On Wednesday, .90 inch fell in a period of several hours, which brought small mountain streams and roadside gullies rushing up to, and in some cases over, their banks. The next day an additional .72 inch fell, although this rain did not produce the high waters which were seen on Wednesday. Mr. Wingfield added that Hurricane Charley, which passed along the Mid-Atlantic coast produced “nothing but clouds in Rappahannock.” Be Resourceful.

V_ Editorials Needed: high standards In recent weeks much has been said about the need for more attention to the academic achievement of college students on athletic scholarships. It is a move which is long overdue. Allowing students to play their way through college without actually putting much, if any effort into academics does no one any good — least of all the student, who leaves college to perhaps make big money for a few short years but then finds himself woefully unprepared for life after professional sports. The emphasis on academics is a good step. It should, however, begin long before the student-athlete ever receives a college scholarship. Emphasis on the importance of academics should begin when children first begin school. Only then will they learn to see athletics in the proper perspective: as a healthy outlet which has a place along with academics in their lives. It should never replace academics as the primary focus of their efforts, however. In this regard, Rappahannock is fortunate. There is not the overwhelming pressure on high school student-athletes to win, win, win. Certainly, winning is important. But, it’s not the only thing. Sports seem to be put in a more healthy perspective at Rappahannock High School than at many larger schools. That’s good for the school and good for the students. It allows them to enjoy their athletic achievements, as well as pursue the academic curriculum which will, after all, be the most important legacy of their school years. Make a difference The General Assembly this month will play a major role in shaping Virginia history when it will consider a package of controversial revenue measures designed to help fund a massive statewide roadbuilding program. Depending on the outcome, history will either credit or blame Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, who got the ball rolling by putting the transportation issue at the top of his administration’s agenda by helping to form the special transportation commission, whose proposals will be hashed out during the special legislative session beginning Sept. 15. Most everyone agrees that transportation is the most critical issue facing Virginia today, that the state’s economic future may ride on the decisions the legislators make during the session, as the governor so passionately stated last week. “We face transportation conditions that, if allowed to continue unaddressed, could strangle our commerce and erode the quality of our lives,” Gov. Baliles told Senate committee members Thursday. Most state representatives seem to agree the stakes indeed are as high as the governor suggests. But that’s where he and many legislators —Democrat and Republican alike — apparently part company. Recommendations by the Commission on Transportation in the 21st Century call for substantial sales, gasoline and vehicle titling taxes. And in an unprecedented move in Virginia history, the blueribbon commission also suggested using “pledge” bonds, if needed, to support transportation projects. State legislators have doubts about those measures. Some believe they’re excessive, some believe they won’t begin to cover Virginia’s projected $10.2 billion transportation needs during the next decade. Sen. William A. Truban (R-Fauquier/Warren) believes the proposed sales and gasoline taxes won’t “fly” and will need some “fine tuning” before he could support increases in these areas. Sen. Charles Waddell (D-Loudoun/Fairfax), a strong Baliles’ supporter, believes the commission could have taken a more creative approach to raising the needed roadbuilding funds by giving localities the authority to raise funds to support badly needed area roads. State officials will continue to express opinions about how Virginia should best finance its transportation needs; politicians are never at a loss for words. What’s needed now more than ever is public input on this most critical issue. A statewide public hearing on the commission’s recommendations will be held in Richmond on Thursday, Sept. 11 beginning at 9:30 a.m. in House Room D of the General Assembly Building. On Sept. 6, Sen. Kevin Miller (R-26th District) will hold two informational meetings in his district. We urge those who can’t make the public hearing or the 26th District meetings to contact their General Assembly representatives and let them know what you think about the proposed tax measures. Don’t be content to sit by idly while historic decisions affecting your very quality of life are made in Richmond. Our state representative s are: Sen. Kevin G.

The door to this immensely rewarding opportunity awaits you! RAPPAHANNOCK UNIT AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY Washington Ordinance questioned To the editor: Many people are asking questions regarding the coverage of the several proceedings designed to adopt amendments to the 1970 Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Washington. They cannot tell from what has been reported why so many people seem outraged. After polling myself, some 40-plus homes (some weekend residents, not home; four or five houses vacant; four or five too elderly and several more said later they would like to have signed) out of a possible 78 homes, which includes the members of the town council and zoning board (about 12 included), the residents seem to be questioning the overall good of the zoning proceedings and the effects of such stringent government, at a rate of not less than two to one. We want to know why the oldest existing businesses were downgraded? Why the ones which have served the needs of the people some for thirty or more years? Skippy Giles store downgraded to residential; Claybert Smoot’s Repair Shop; Black Kettle Motel and Restaurant (the former Lake Motel) and Wallace Critzer’s heavy equipment operation, all residential and yet the less essential tourist-type businesses, many of which fail to operate a full year are zoned to be the town business or “Mixed Use” (the decided name for retail operations). So, to most of the residents this gives reason to doubt the reasoning of the Council. Zoning perhaps becomes a necessary thing but the simpler the better for the community. It is hard to understand why a hex sign is more important to the community than a loaf of bread. It is easy to understand why someone who has been providing bread to so many for so many years is upset when his whole r scheme of things is abruptly turned around. To live in a healthy atmosphere of dreams is the best anyone can hope to accomplish on this planet. Even the Town Council from their circle cannot long obscure from the rest of the world their particular dreams, many in conflict with each other. Growing up in Fairfax County, a simple rural area, the original zoners said “it was to protect the community from sprawling growth,” but after the dust settled and people of power had acquired cheap property from people like my parents, who didn’t know the value of their estates, the development started, after all that is how one makes money on property, DEVELOP and those in a position to decide zoning are vulnerable to all manner of corruption, i.e., Mr. Jack Herrity, Chairman, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, (and at least three of his predecessors) and Mayor Marion Barry of the City of Washington, D. C. Is there anything in the Comprehensive Plan to prevent one or two persons from perpetuating their own personal interests over the interests of this community? Shouldn’t there be a conflicts of interest clause to be actively enforced? At the present time, the Town of Washington offers very little convenience to its residents - to be a senior citizen here could be disastrous. Good low to moderate income housing isn’t available and it is awfully hard to get to Front Royal for a prescription refill when you can’t drive. In these times when outspoken conservatives are lauding the idea of less government, this overrestrictive zoning ordinance seems stark in contrast. KATHERINE JOAN ST.

We all should pay for roads By GEORGE W. WILBUR When the Virginia General Assembly convenes for a special transportation session Sept. 15, one of the biggest brouhahas is likely to be over whether to ax the venerable tradition of making highway users alone pay for more and better roads. One of the proposals of Gov. Gerald Baliles’ special transportation commission to help finance a 10-year, $10 billion road building program is to increase from 3 percent to 4 percent the state’s general sales tax. Because Virginia’s localities also impose a 1 percent sales tax, the effect would be to raise the overall tax to 5 percent. Of the additional $400 million to be raised annually, the commission suggested $300 million go to the road program and the remainder to the general fund. Sharply disagreeing with the proposal was former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr., a commission member who fathered the sales tax during his first administration in the late 1960s. He said the sales tax was enacted to underwrite public education, not to build roads. The idea of special funds for special purposes gained popularity during the administration of then Gov. Harry F. Byrd Sr. some six decades ago. If Virginians were going to pay a lot of money to get Henry Ford’s A-models out of the mud and onto blacktop, the theory went, those who used the new roads should pay for them. But, with motor traffic still in the teething stage, few people in the 1920s envisioned the pervasive role highways would play in people’s lives more than a half-century later. The plain fact is, every Virginian is a highway user. If there is such a thing as a lifelong recluse who never clambered aboard a car or truck — and I doubt such an oddity exists —the chances are overwhelming that the clothes on his back, the food in his larder and the materials for his abode, however humber, traveled by road to the stores where they were sold. Without an expansive highway network, Virginia’s $1 billion-ayear tourist industry would evaporate, schools would go unattended, crops would rot in the fields, the sick would be denied medical assistance, industries would stagnate, church pews would remain empty and recreational outlets would disappear. There may be valid reasons for continued segregation of state funds for special purposes. Doubtless they will be amply aired at the special legislative session. But to use a 1920s argument to try to thwart a proposal designed to address Virginia’s highway needs going into the 21st century is specious at best. Certainly, those who use the roads should pay for them. And that means every last one of us, plus a lot of transients and tourists as well. Virginia’s business 56 speeches never made RICHMOND—Taxpayers spent $13,170 in the first six months of 1986 to print speeches which were never delivered by Virginia congressmen and senators. The Virginia News Network reported Monday that the Virginia delegation shows up 56 times in the Congressional Record for speeches never given on the floor of Congress during the first half of the year. Undelivered speeches are discemable from the others because they are printed in a different typeface. A congressmen sometimes inserts a speech into the Congressional Record because he will be away when a particular issue is debated and he wants to make sure his position is recorded. Marine studies lauded GLOUCESTER POINT—Greater state funding is meaning more and ^ better service to the state from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, according to Frank 0. Perkins, institute director. The institute was established to untake research for the state, but in its early years found itself tied up in projects for the federal government and private contracts, said Perkins last week. The key to the institute’s return to its original goals was a decision in the early 1980s to cut VIMS’ reliance on outside grants and contracts while persuading the state to up its ante. As a result, the amount of research done for federal agencies and private businesses on a contract basis or to fulfill the requirements of grants has dropped dramatically.

Hospice schedules community meetings Cancer attacks more than the body. It attacks the minds of the patients and their families. Imagine the difficulty of telling a child, “Mommy has cancer.” For the patient and the family, that’s just the beginning. Some people find great strength when faced with illness. But for others, the onset of a catastrophic illness can be emotionally devestating. For those people, the Hospice of the Rapidan, Family Care/Home Health Care and Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center can provide much-needed services and support. Hospice of the Rapidan is dedicated to the emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual well-being of terminally ill patients and their families. Family Care/Home Health Care is dedicated to providing in-home medical care to people suffering from physical illness, whether the person is terminally ill or not. Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Center provides services to the elderly, such as “meals on wheels” and “respite care.” There are differences in the programs but there are also similarities.

Real Estate Eileen Af. Day realtor THE BACKUP OFFER On Monday, you receive an offer to purchase your home. You are satisfied and sign the acceptance. On Tuesday, another buyer offers to purchase the same property for a greater amount of money. The second buyer is willing to do anything to own your particular house and is willing to wait around in hopes that your first buyer’s transaction somehow falls through. What can you do? In rare situations, it is possible to accept a backup offer on your property. You can accept an offer from the second buyer “subject to the nonperformance of the existing contract with the first buyer.” Of course the initial buyer has a firm contract with you, and will probably be the next owner. However, if anything goes wrong with that transaction, you can then obtain a release from number one to sell to number two, with the price and the trerms already agreed upon in your backup contract. You are in the enviable postiion of having both a belt and suspenders. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field ofreal estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Galloway of Columbus, Ohio, who with the aid of his wife Dorothy, is collecting genealogy material on the Beahm/Beam line which originated in Lancaster County, Pa. in 1715. Names of attendees were drawn at random and those chosen told an anecdote or a bit of history remembered in their family stories. Recipes handed down through the family were submitted and these will be compiled and be available at next year’s reunion. Everyone is looking forward to experiencing the taste of “Ground hog meat loaf’ which Isaac H.

On that date, the graduate engineering school at the University of Virginia will begin transmitting live classes via satellite to Universities and businesses throughout the state of Virginia. Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will begin transmitting their courses September 24. The State’s Department of Information Technology has planned and coordinated a network of television receive only (TVRO) satellite antenna systems which spans Virginia. Although they were set up specifically to receive graduate engineering classes, the systems can also “see” satellites serving the continental United States as well as some foreign satellites. “Beginning this fall the courses will be uplinked directly from UVa and Virginia Tech to the Galaxy II Satellite for reception at more than 20 locations within and outside of Virginia,” said Constance Ober of the Department of Information Technology’s Educational Technology Division. Ober, with Educational Technology Division’s Dorothy Boland and Bill Rodgers, coordinated and scheduled the network. The Richmondbased Teledynamics, Inc. firm was selected to provide and install the systems. Sharing graduate engineering classes electronically is not new. The Cooperative Graduate Engineering program was begun in 1983 and used Virginia Public Television Stations’ Microwave Network to transmit classes to Richmond students via live television. The program was expanded the next year to serve business in Northern Virginia and Norfolk. However, the system was limited by geographical restrictions. “The major advantages of using this new technology are significant savings in travel expenses and increased employee productivity,” said Rodgers. “The number of sites using downlinks will probably in crease logarithmically.” The network also opens up new horizons for Virginia Business. The engineering field is constantly chan- ! ging, and engineers need to update their education accordingly. By tapping into the state’s TVRO network, 1 businesses can offer advanced on- * site training to keep their employees ( current on the latest developments. - This is a plus for existing businesses * as well as a marketing tool for Virginia to attract businesses to the * Commonwealth. ’ In addition to Graduate Engi- y neering courses, other programming j may be originated via Richmond’s WCVE TV satellite uplink. j Other possibilities range from a providing modern language classes ^ using Mexican or Canadian satellite t signals to remote training courses in t Management Skill Development, v Career Development and Technical a Skill Development for state agencies and institutions. Another possible t use that has already been tested on a local basis will be the delivery of 11 high school equivalency training to i] inmates at correctional units across a the state. ii Peoples Bank scholarship Peoples Bank of Front Royal, las awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Christendom College student Paul Clark, who is beginning his second ear at the four-year liberal arts col?ge.

School RCHS students complete advanced chemistry By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer This past school year three Rappahannock County High School students worked in a special study group in order to achieve advanced placement in chemistry. Advanced placement is a program offered by the college board testing service which allows students to attempt a college course in a high school setting. The student works under the same standards as a freshman level college course. Brion Patterson was their instructor. The students took an advanced placement test in the spring. The outcome of the whole year depended on how they did on the advanced placement exam. If they did well enough they received college credit for the work they had done. Teacher Brion Patterson explained, “We started with four students this past fall and three of them completed the program. They were Jonathan Waston, Eduard Welch, and Will Oliver. The basic purpose of the program was to give the students the best possible preparation for college and we set the advanced placement test as a goal.” “1 would not call it a fun course at all. It was a whole lot of hard work,” Mr. Patterson added. Besides coming in for the regular chemistry' class period, the students met in the lab before homeroom each day. They had anywhere from one to several hours of homework each night. There was a lot of studying, a lot of problem solving and many math calculations. They also came in on rain and snow days and holidays so they could keep up with their work. 1 he students studied from a college chemistry textbook. The textbook was recommended by the advanced placement conference in Charlottesville and by other teachers. The text covered standard chemical principles. In the morning sessions the students would bring to Mr. Patterson’s attention whatever problems they were having and then he would go over the topics in that chapter that he thought were most difficult. A lot of this study involved the student’s determination to work through the material on his own. “There was no argument about how much work they had to do or their grades because they all knew how difficult the goal was and that they had to work hard. The whole idea was to get ready for the exam in the spring,” Mr. Patterson said. What the students attempted to do was to learn two years of chemistry in one year because they had to learn what would normally be covered in a high school chemistry class and then also learn what would be covered in a first year college course. “At an advanced placement conference I went to the leader said it was impossible for students to do this in one year. But we did it here!” Mr. Patterson emphasized. They finished covering new material the first week of April and spent the last month reviewing for the exam and took the exam on May 16. Review included taking trial exams. The testing service made available exams from previous years so the student could practice. Then before the real exam the students took a full scale practice exam and spent six hours on it. They took the exam, graded it, and went over it. It was a high pressure situation because it was a timed exam. They found that was a big problem especially for two of the students. Just getting through the questions fast enough was difficult. They drilled and drilled on that and their timing improved. “They had to work like crazy for the whole three hours,” Mr. Patter son said. “They had to work hard to get through it and the questions themselves were very difficult. It is an exam that would challenge anyone taking a freshman college class.” The students didn’t know ahead of time what questions would be asked. They just had to learn everything as well as they could and utilize everything they had learned prior to the day of the exam. If they did well enough, they got college credit for their efforts. If not, they had learned a lot of chemistry. The number of credits that the students received depended on what college they will be attending. Will Oliver acquired twelve credit hours from Virginia Tech. Therefore, he will be able to take organic chemistry in his freshman year. Senior Eduard Welch will be allowed chemistry credits for the first semester if he attends VCU. Jonathan Watson, a high school senior, is unsure of his college choice; however, he too achieved advanced placement. In addition to the chemistry credit, Will Oliver received college credit in English and Jonathan Watson received college credit for computer science as the result of advanced placement tests. One extra benefit of the course was that the regular chemistry classes did especially well last year. They covered more material and in greater depth than in any other year. According to Mr. Patterson, part of the reason was they were seeing the example of the advanced placement students and some of the best students in the regular class advanced to a point not very far from the advanced students. Mr. Patterson also learned that students can do more than he thought in prior years. They can cover more material and cover it faster than he had realized. Mr. Patterson was given a gift from the advanced placement students. “That was special since I had made life as miserable as I could for them all year long. It seemed to me to be particularly difficult for these students to be as committed to their school work as was necessary for this exam. It was especially difficult because they were the only students in the school doing it.” In order to succeed in the course the students had to make a tremendous commitment to hard work and extra hours. The only way they could possibly be successful was if they were willing to say that there was nothing else in school that was more important than chemistry. It was too difficult if anything else was more important. “I enjoyed working with these students. I think it was worthwhile. It made me go back and relearn topics that I hadn’t been over in years. It was a challenge. When we started we had no idea if we would drop it after a week or a month, but we carried it through the whole year,” Mr. Patterson said. “I think in future years these three students will be looked back on as being real academic pioneers of Rappahannock County High School. I think they have set a trail that other Rappahannock students can follow. They have set quite an example for others,” concluded Mr. Patterson. This school year four to six students will be following that trail. This year the work group is a scheduled period class; however, they will still need extra time to complete labs. Mr. Patterson hopes to use an Apple lie computer, donated by Potomac Edison, in the class. This will allow the students to do labs that couldn’t be done in previous years. Recycle. A.

Front row (1. to r.): Jan Hitt, Melissa Lee Stirling, John Smith, Philip Lamb and Christoper Sutton. Back row: Park superintendent Gerald W. Tays and Barry Presgraves. Local students win contest By DEBORAH FLINCHUM Rappahannock News Special Writer “Why I Like Living Near Shenandoah National Park” was an essay contest topic given to some sixth and seventh grade students in Rappahannock County, Green County, and Warren County. Two Rappahannock County Elementary School students placed first and fifth in the contest. Jan Lynn Hitt, first place winner, received the assignment from her seventh grade science teacher, Lynne Baines and her English teacher Eleanor Katz. “I didn’t know anything about the contest. Mrs. Katz just told us to write a paper using that title. I wrote about my feelings about the park, how to take care of the park, the wildlife, and the scenery,” Jan said. “I got an A and Mrs. Katz said it was an excellent paper. On the last day of school I found that I was one of the five winners in the contest.” Jan and her family were asked to attend the awards ceremony at Skyland. Jan’s mother, Mrs. Linda Dodson, of Sperryville, recalled the night’s events. “I knew that Jan Lynn had won something but we didn’t know what place until all of the winners read their essays. They started with fifth place and we soon realized that she was the only one left to read. We knew then that she had received first place.” She added, “Winning the award gave Jan Lynn a lot of self confidence and has motivated her to write more.” Jan says she enjoys going to the park, especially in the spring, so expressing her feelings about the park was easy for her to do. She was awarded an overnight stay anywhere in the park for her and her family, free park passes and $50. Christopher Sutton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Sutton of Washington, received fifth place recognition for his essay. Christopher’s sixth grade English teacher, Mrs. Lucy Maeyer used the contest as a class assignment. “I wrote about the beauty of nature,. animals, and trees in the park,” Chris stated. “I wrote it once and handed it in and Mrs. Maeyer corrected it and I wrote it again. “I didn’t know what place I had won until my parents and I got there. I won fifth place and got $10 and a free park pass,” he said. The awards ceremony was held at Skyland in conjunction with the park’s fiftieth anniversary. Mrs. Baines and Mrs. Maeyer attended the ceremonies because they had submitted essays for the contest. Mrs. Baines entered approximately forty essays. All seventh grade students who entered were given science credit. The park service also gave the elementary school two books for participating. Mrs. Baines said that the contest is a yearly event which is limited to three and four different counties bordering the park each year. She noted that William Monroe was the only other school to have essay winners this year. They had second, third and fourth place winners. The contest was sponsored by the Woman’s Club of the Shenandoah National park, ARA (the park’s food service group), and the National Park Service.

Richard Thompson Lake, located on the Virginia Game Commission’s Wildlife Management Area on Rt. 688 between Markham and Paris in Fauquier County, will be closed to all public use through September 9. The Game Commission announced that the closing will allow the commission’s biologists to restock the lake’s fish population. Biologist Ed Steinkoenig said the lake, stocked in the past with bluegill and largemouth bass, has never maintained a balanced population. He explained that the restocking effort will supply the lake with a balanced sport fishery which will maintain its own population through natural reproduction. Plans call for restocking the lake with smallmouth bass, bluegills and golden shiners. Catfish will be added at a later date to diversify the fishery. Mr. Steinkoenig said that because Thompson is a cool mountain lake the new species should have no trouble adapting and proliferating in the habitat. Drought assistance detailed The Rappahannock office of the USD A Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service is accepting applications for assistance from farmers and livestock producers who have suffered losses due to this year’s drought. Livestock producers are eligible for two forms of assistance. One is in the form of an allowance to purchase CCC com at the price of $1.56 per bushel, provided they have suffered at least a 50 percent loss of feed and own foundation livestock. The second assistance program allows producers who have suffered substantial losses in feed normally produced to purchase any type of feed for eligible livestock at approximately 50 percent of cost. Producers must apply for assistance at the ASCS office on Gay Street in Washington. Please bring information on livestock count and ages, crops and acreages normally produced and production this year. Applications to the Emergency Feed Program must be filed by December 31, 1986. Payments under the Emergency Feed Program will be made with generic commodity certificates. Farmers must submit bills for purchased feed. The bills must contain the date of purchase, amount of purchase, kind and type of feed purchased, price paid and date of delivery. The receipt must also be signed by the seller. Farmers who have fields on which the permanent ground cover has failed due to drought should contact the ASCS office by September 12 to see if they qualify for assistance in reestablishing a permanent ground cover. The Rappahannock ASCS office, located on Gay Street, is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The telephone number is 675-3616.

At the time he announced his intention to retire, Judge Penn did not set a specific date, although his. second eight-year term would ordinarily end in January of 1987. Nominations of men or women to replace Judge Penn may come from three Virginia senators and four Virginia delegates. Virginia senators whose jurisdictions include parts of Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun counties, and therefore part of the 20th judicial circuit, include Charles L. Waddell (D-33rd), who lives in Sterling, William A. Truban (R27th), who lives in Woodstock, and Kevin G. Miller (R-26th), who lives in Harrisonburg. Democrats have majority representation in both houses of the 1986-87 General Assembly. The 33rd district includes all of Loudoun County and part of western Fairfax; the 27th district includes Frederick, Shenandoah, Clarke, and Warren counties, part of Fauquier County, and the City of Winchester; the 26th district includes Rockingham, Page and Rappahannock counties, parts of Fauquier and Stafford counties, and the City of Harrisonburg. Virginia delegates whose jurisdictions include parts of the 20th judicial circuit are: Kenneth B. Rollins (R-32nd), who lives in Leesburg; Robert T. Andrews (R-33rd), who lives in McLean; Raymond R. Guest (R-31st), who lives in Front Royal; Thomas M. Moncure (R-53rd), who lives in Stafford. Rollins sits on the House Courts of Justice Committee. There are three 20th judicial circuit judgeships (two of which are now filled by Loudoun residents). Rules Continued from page 1 “It would suit me fine and all of us fine if we could limit it to a week,” but “this is not simplistic,” Sen. Andrews said. “It would be very difficult to resolve these matters short of a full week.” Unless the scope of discussion is “narrowly” defined, said Sen. Madison E. Marye (D-Shawville), “I can see us here longer and longer, and I don’t think the public is going to like it.” He urged them to avoid a “brouhaha” and end the session in a week. Senate Rules Committee member William A. Truben (R-Fauquier/ Clarke/Warren/Shenandoah) said he believes the General Assembly can wrap up the session in seven days or less because it will be considering “yes or no” issues. “Either you’re for or against a particular thing,” he said in an interview outside the committee room. “Everybody knows what this is about.” Sen. Truban believes the governor has “bit off more than he can chew” during a special session. Thus he believes legislators will address some of the issues during the September session and the remainder during the regular session beginning in January 1987. The Senate Rules Committee also suggested: • That the Senate and the House submit relevant legislation no later than 5 p.m. on Sept. 16, the second day of the session. • That the Senate and the House complete consideration of legislation by Sept. 18.

Baliles Continued from page 1 • Changes in the state constitution and current state laws to give cities and counties new taxing powers to raise money for local transportation projects. • Designating 15 percent of all new transportation revenue for mass transit, airports and seaports. If the General Assembly adopts the recommendations. Gov. Baliles said it “will send a message that will echo across the country and the globe. And the message will be this: That Virginia will endure no impediment to its future economic growth — that Virginia intends to capture its destiny — and not let it slip away.” With those recommendations, he continued: “We will be the leader in economic development — and never again a follower.” During last Thursday’s briefing, the senators sharply questioned transportation officials about the commission’s findings and recommendations. iransporauon committee c nairman Sen. Charles Waddell (D-Loudoun) wanted to know if the proposed 4-percent titling tax would apply equally to new and used car buyers. He said he was worried about a possible “discriminating aspect” to the titling proposal. Secretary of of Transportation and Public Safety Vivian E. Watts said it would apply equally, but with a trade-in the new car buyer would be taxed only on the difference in value between the two vehicles. Sen. J. Granger Macfarlane (DRoanoke) doubted the commission’s population projections and funding statistics. After making a series of involved calculations, the senator told Secretary Watts that her numbers didn’t “jibe ... I guess my question is why are my figures so far from yours?” Based on his calculations, Northern Virginia would get 47 percent of the money with only 21 percent of the state population. “No,” Secretary Watts said in trying to interpret the numbers for the increasingly agitated senator. Sen. Macfarlane interrupted: “We respectfully disagree. Let’s call a spade a spade.” Secretary Watts calmly explained that Sen. Macfarlane had confused allocation dollars with the amount of money that would be needed to cover critical road construction projects, which far exceed currently available funds. “I respectfully disagree,” he repeated. Sen. Johnny S. Joannou (DPortsmouth) wanted to know how much the federal government would contribute to the $10.2 billion transportation program. The secretary estimated the federal government would contribute $3.9 billion. According to the formula, the state would have to promise to match 10 percent of the total federal contribution, or $400 million. In answer to a another question, Secretary Watts told Sen. Joannou that Virginia Department of High ioly/bible. NUGGETS OF TRUTH By REV. ROBERT DUNPHY PASTOR Family Worship Center Washington, Va. THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS What is a disciple? Simply a follower of ones teaching. If we follow Jesus teaching, we are His disciples. Most Christians do not follow Jesus teaching for one reason or another. Some claim to be Christians and don't even read His word. So, how can they be a disciple. If you are not a disciple, you are apt to be missing the word of God so far that you think you are a Christian and you are not. Folks, going to church or joining a church does not make you a Christian, any more than standing in a barn makes you a mule. People, we are in the last days. It is time for all God’s people to get born again, (John 3:7) and become disciples of Jesus. James said it like this in 1:22, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” This week and next, I will be talking about forgiveness. Look at part of the model prayer. Matt. 6:12 "forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Matt. 6:14 “for if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Verse 15, But, if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Now notice these instructions are in the prayer and again right after the prayer. Next time, I will go deeper with you about forgiveness. Remember, Jesus loves you and so do we.

During the afternoon session, committee members and transportation officials discussed: • Pledge bonds, which Secretary of Finance Stuart Connock called preferrable to general obligation bonds because the Virginia constitution gives greater fexibility in using them. For instance, the size of the bond can’t be limited in size. The constitution limits the General Assembly to issuing 8.14 million per year in general obligation full-faith credit bonds. In addition, the state must pay debt service on those bonds. General obligation bonds must be approved by voters. Secretary Connock said voter approval adds an undesireable measure of uncertainty to the revenue-raising procedure. If the funds can’t be guaranteed, then the state can’t advertise construction contracts, the secretary explained. The use of pledge bonds requires approval by two-thirds of the General Assembly. Also, pledge bonds, unlike general obligation bonds, don’t have to be spent on specific projects. But some have questioned the constitutionality of pledge bonds. If the General Assembly approves pledge bonds, the state will take a test case to the Virginia Supreme Court to establish their legality. • Gramm-Rudman tax measure. In answer to a question, Secretary Connack said he has heard that the federal tax-cutting proposal could result in a $200 million revenue loss to Virginia. But, several legislators said, the restructuring of the federal tax system could mean a substantial though unknown tax windfall for Virginia. • A state lottery. Del. J.W. “Billy” O’Brien Jr. (D-Virginia Beach) is expected to propose that the General Assembly create a Virginia lottery and allocate a portion of the estimated $150 million annual take for transportation needs. But some senators seem wary of the idea, saying lottery receipts can fluctuate wildly and thus would be an unreliable source of revenue. To succeed, they must be actively promoted through costly media campaigns, Sen. William A. Truban (RF auquier/Clarke/W arren/Shenandoah) noted in an interview after the hearing. Of the lottery proposal, Sen. Truban, a long-time Senate Finance Committee member, said: “It’s a ioke." / WHY WAIT FOR WEEKS? Get an eye examination and your glasses in a couple of hours.

Mitzie Young 937-5196 Kevin Day 675-3736 Lisa Day 636-3878 RAAC presents Twain The man who became known throughout the world as Mark Twain was a rascal, a restless vagabond who saw humor in events so universal that his wit was appreciated in Victorian drawing rooms as well as in the mining camps and saloons that he wrote about. He was ambitious, but so dissatisfied with each new endeavor that he had started several careers by the time he was twenty-five. He was proud, staying in the wild west long after he missed the more civilized east because he thought that to return without an impressive bankroll would be demeaning. He was courtly, believing in the Victorian notion that men were beasts without a good woman to restrict them, even though he laughed at himself and others who failed to see through the elaborate pretenses of his day. But most of all, Mark Twain was funny. He was so funny that as soon as one of his writings reached a national magazine he was immediately acknowledged as an equal by the leading humorist of his era. He was so funny that, to his eternal frustration, he couldn’t help being funny, even when it was inappropriate or scandalous. He took a succession of writing jobs, always.just as temporary ways to make money while his real schemes: gold mines, silver mines, stocks, were just about to pay off handsomely. His schemes never paid off; his writing always did, but he was so financially inept that it took him failure after failure to make the connection. He walked a city beat in San Francisco, reporting on the court trials and other general news. This was supposed to be straight reporting, in fact, he was the city editor. When a major earthquake shook the Bay Area in 1865, Twain’s reporting was less than serious. His weather report read: October 23 - mild, balmy earthquakes; October 24 -Shaky; October 25-occasional shakes, followed by light showers of bricks and plastering.” “The wife of a foreign dignitary,” reported Twain, “set a new style in earthquake costume, rushing out ot her bath into the street, wearing nothing but a towel around her neck - a costume which, if generally adopted, would go far toward reconciling some people to these dreaded ^ earthquakes.” Hanging around in Nevada mining camps, hoping to strike it rich in between the necessary employment as a reporter, Twain ran into a man who told him the story of a clever visitor with a famous jumping frog. Twain wrote it, using the western rough vernacular. He spoke of it with contempt. It was simply not literary by the standards of the day. But people loved it. It became so well known that a picture of Twain seated on a cartoon frog was all that was necessary to print on a handbill advertising a Twain lecture. James Russell Lowell pronounced The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County as the finest piece of humorous writing ever produced in this country. It took many more years for Twain to understand that writing humor was to be his profession, years where he put together land deals, more mine deals and other schemes. When all else failed he went on the lecture circuit, entertaining audiences back East with his humor and quick wit. Sometimes he had a lecture every night. As he became more and more famous, Thomas Edison recorded some of his appearances, but these records were destroyed in a fire. He had no script, using only a few notes. We do know that he never failed. He always, according to newspaper accounts, left them laughing. This Saturday RAAC will present a performance very much like that seen by our great-grandparents if they were lucky enough to live in a town where Twain appeared. Ed Steele, the director of Wayside Theatre, will appear at the Gay Street Theater in a one-man performance as Mark Twain. The show begins at 8:00 and special food and drink will be available. Tickets are $3 for students; $4 for RAAC members; and $5 for the general public. COMMUNITY CELEBRATION You are invited to an 80tfi Birthday Celebration honoring Maty M.
