vr-or.TO r-*72 ltoast 19, VA. 2^19 sample; 1 Washington House damaged by fire By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Historic Washington House, a landmark since its construction in the mid 1700s, was devastated by fire late Friday afternoon. The blaze apparently started in the rear of Charlie Eldred’s lighting restoration shop, according to Roger Roach, chief of the Washington Volunteer Department, who was in charge at the fire scene. A spark from a bench grinder which ignited a pile of buffing dust is believed to have caused the fire. Firefighters and equipment from Washington arrived on the scene within minutes after the alarm was sounded, and found smoke pouring from the north side of the building. Firefighters who entered the building found the downstairs already thick with toxic smoke and the rear wall of the workshop a sheet of flame. "We could see smoke as we (lame up from the firehouse,” Chief Roach said. “We knew we had a helluva fire.” As ladders were put up to the second floor storage area and windows broken out to ventilate the upstairs, clouds of gray-black smoke rolled from the windows and seeped from beneath the eaves, nearly obscuring neighboring buildings. Units from Sperryville, Amissville, Flint Hill and Castleton also responded on the first alarm, and a short time later a request for mutual aid assistance went out to the Salem VFD in Culpeper County. Firefighters attempting to quell the flames with an interior attack were hampered by the narrow aisles through the workshop and storage area and the steep, winding stairway up to the second floor. Meanwhile, other volunteers attacked the flames from the roof both in front of and behind the shop. According to Chief Koach, the building’s construction presented problems for the firefighters not found in more modem structures. The long, combination work-shop Rappahannock Newt phoUVLou Hatter ILLUMINATED BY THE EERIE GLARE of emergency lights, the Washington House of Reproductions shows the damage caused by Friday’s blaze. The fire started in the workshop, behind the chimney at the right. /showroom/residence was built in several stages. The south end of the house (opposite the Post Office) was built first, sometime in the 1740s, with an addition on the back built shortly after, “if the legend about George Washington dancing in the ballroom is true,” according to Mr. Eldred. The two-story shop and its long, open storage room behind were built in the 1860s, and the middle portion of the house, between the original free-standing structures, was added late in the last century. Thus, the structure is a maze of*, double walls, crawl spaces, attics and natural draft “chimneys” which allowed the flames to travel between the uninsulated walls and through the rafters from the shop toward the Eldreds’ living quarters on the other end of the house. “We came close to losing the building because of the construction,” Chief Roach said, adding that' at one place the firefighters had to break through three separate walls to g«t to,the fire. “Once it got into* * the walls, it spread quickly.” Mr. Eldred said he believed that the fire had probably been smolder( ing for about a half-hour before his son-in-law went to the shop and dis covered smoke. “It’s a miracle,” Mr. Eldred said as he surveyed the damage to the attic above the house. “By all rights it should be nothing but chimneys and ashes. To even think of the firefighters being able to stop a fire in a structure this big - but to stop it dead out, not even a wisp of smoke after they left.” As he described the job the volunteers did in halting the spreading flames in the attic, Mr. Eldred continued, “l don’t know who they were up here, but obviously God in Heaven was up here with (Continued on Page 3) Hunter killed in shooting accident near Sperryville Ricky Doyle Gray, 28, of First Street, Luray, was shot and killed late Friday afternoon while deer hunting off Rt. 620, about three miles south of Sperryville. According to 1st Sgt. G. H. Gregory of the Virginia State Police, “It appears that the person who fired the shot thought he was shooting at a deer. The high-powered rifle bullet struck Mr. Doyle in the right side and passed completely through his body. He was transported to the Fauquier Hospital by the Castleton Volunteer Rescue Squad, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.” Sgt. Gregory said that the victim and the person who fired the shot, whose name is being withheld pending completion of the investigation, were hunting in different parties, separated by about 100 yards of woods on a remote hillside. He said that it was “significant” that the incident occurred at 5:05 p.m., just before sunset, explaining, “It is a dangerous time of day.” Asked if the victim was wearing blaze orange, Sgt. Gregory replied, “He was wearing an orange cap, but it was so faded and dirty that, no, you couldn’t call it blaze orange.” The investigation is being conducted by Trooper R. A. Baines and Game Warden Jim Bankston. According to Sgt. Gregory, no charges have been placed, pending the completion of the investigation. The Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s Advanced Life Support Unit also responded to the shooting scene. Castleton man wounded In a separate incident which occurred Dec. 20, Allan Ray Davis, 18, Rt. 618, Castleton, was seriously wounded when he was struck in the face by a round from a .41 magnum revolver. Sheriff John Henry Woodward said that the apparently accidental shooting happened as Mr. Davis and a friend were handling several pistols at a residence off Rt. 619 at Castleton. The revolver fired, striking Mr. Davis in the mouth. The round, which had been fired from nearly point-blank range, apparently de(Continued on Page 3) EMS Council announces daytime EMT training The Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council is planning an Emergency Medical Technician training program which will schedule its sessions during daytime hours. Mike Florence, director of the EMS Council, said that the program is an effort to address the state-wide problem of insufficient daytime coverage by rescue squads. Mr. Florence explained that most squads have a manpower problem during the day, especially work days, and that the EMS Council hopes that the daytime program will attract vplunteers who have that time free. After the training is completed and the certification tests are passed, those EMTs will be available to handle rescue calls during times when other squad members may be unable to respond. The Emergency Medical Technician class is the basic emergency medical course required by the state for a person to be the attendant in charge on an emergency ambulance. It covers all medical and trauma emergencies, as well as vehicle extrications and rescue techniques. The course will be held at Culpeper Memorial Hospital on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon, beginning Feb. 2. Anyone who wishes additional information about the course, or to register, should call the EMS Council office, 825-6849. The deadline for registration is Jan. 28. Photo courtesy of Dr. William Young FLINT HILL SCULPTOR Natalie Lewis will speak at the Rappahannock Library on Friday, Jan. 9. Second Friday presents Sculptor Natalie Lewis The Rappahannock County Library Second Friday Series will present the sculptor Natalie Lewis, who will discuss the art of direct carving and display some of her works on Jan. 9 at 8 p.m. at the library. A resident of Flint Hill for many years, Mrs. Lewis has taught at Woodberry Forest School in Orange for 17 years as well as having held classes for especially qualified students in her home studio. Mrs. Lewis was awarded a scholarship to attend the Parsons School of Design in New York and, after completing that training, extended her education through her affiliation for eight years with the Art Students’ League of New York, where she studied with John Hovannes. Married in midcareer, Mrs. Le wis raised her family and subordinated her artistic activities but %ever interrupted her pursuits com pletely. Her works range from warn: and friendly animals to the human figure and are accomplished in a variety of media from wood and stone to bronze. She had exhibited in New York City before coming to this area, and has since had shows in Orange as well as the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. For a week before her presentation Jan. 9, Mrs. Lewis’ works will be on display at the Rappahannock Library. The program, a feature of the Second Friday Series and part of the library’s effort to offer a once-amonth program of wide interest to residents, is free. The artists presenting the programs, including Mrs. Lewis, do so without stipend. There will be an opportunity to talk with the artist when refreshments are served after her presentation. The library welcomes all, and invites you to bring a friend. The Friday evening time was chosen to appeal to weekend residents and it is hoped that many of them will attend. \ * Guest promises close watch on tax rates By LOU HATTER lUppahannock New* Staff Writer Del. Raymond R. (Andy) Guest, R-31, Rappahannock^* representative and the minority leader in Virginia’s House of Delegates, said that his “first priority” in the General Assembly this year “will be to make sure that the Virginia state income tax structure does not take more (in taxes) than it would have without federal tax reform.” Del. Guest explained that although the federal tax rates were lowered by the recent tax reform legislation enacted by the Congress, the base of taxable income was broadened. The result could be an additional $185 to $235 million tax dollars being paid by Virginians, he said. “I would hope that we can raise the individual deduction some and lower the rate in the high tax bracket - those who are most affected by the federal changes.” He added that although that concern is his top priority, he expects that it will be the last bill passed before the General Assembly adjourns. Mr. Guest said that he expects that education commission will be coming back to the General Assembly asking for more money. “It seems to be perennial ... I don’t know how much more money is available. The state has been good in the past few years, and I don’t know that it isn’t time for the individual systems to be iooking at economies ... To be sure that we are getting the most education for our education dollar.” He added that his preference r is for money to be put into education'at the local level, which focuses attention and public awareness on education in that locality. Asked about the developing ANDY GUEST confrontation between school systems which are increasingly strapped for operating funds and the expanding mandates required by the state, Del. Guest replied, “The state has mandated enough ... It’s time to look critically at state mandates for education. I have opposed most and will continue to do so. I’m more interested in performance - whether the final result is educated youngsters - than in the recipe.” He said that he intends to renew his effort to substitute landuse value tax for the ftill value tax now used in the state’s school funding formula. “That would be a big benefit to Rappahannock, Fauquier and Clarice counties.” He added that he will move carefully on that issue because of a eoncern that if the distribution formula is opened, "The same coalition that got all the road binds (Continued on Page 3) Farmland set as priority in comprehensive plan work The county’s planning commsisioners struggled with provisions for the preservation and protection of agriculture as they continued their review of Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan. Bill Strider, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, who is assisting in the update of the planning guide, was directed to try again for stronger language on the priority of fanning in the county’s agricultural zones. “Just saying that it’s the preferred use in an agricultural zone - what rights does that give the preferred land use?” asked Newbill Miller. “Probably none.” Commissioner Bob Anderson seconded the request for protection of farming from conflicts with residential land uses. As an example of the problems farmers face, Mr. Anderson, who raises beef cattle, recalleo^late night telephone call he received from an angry neighbor who demanded, “Can’t you keep that bull quiet?” Citing agriculture as tne preferred land use “is maybe about as much as we can do now,” noted Mr. Miller. Mr. Strider suggested that the priority of agriculture might be addressed in the comprehensive plan’s chapter on future land use. “Give it some thought,” said Mr. Miller, the Board of Supervisors’ representative on the Planning Commission. ‘If you come up with any ideas, bring them to our attention.” “I’ll work on it some more,” Mr. Strider volunteered. Commissioner Werner Krebser questioned the extent of the industrial zone on Route 211 as outlined in the comprehensive' plan. The area designated as highway commercial begins at the boundary of the town of Washington, he pointed out. “But that’s not what we put on the zoning map (of the recently enacted zoning ordinance), I can . guarantee you that!” According to the new zoning map, the highway commercial zone begins just before the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative, not at the edge of town, he maintained. “I think the language proposed for the comprehensive plan will extend the commercial zone further west.” Zoning adminsitrator John McCarthy agreed to check the zoning map and revise the comprehensive plan to comply with its delineation of the highway commercial area. Commissioner John Clark noted that the proposed revision of the comprehensive plan gives as a goal “to promote the random scattering of mobile homes.” Mr. Strider blushed, putting his hands to his head in dismay at the typographical error. “Look whose face has turned red!” joked Commissioner Anderson. “I read it three times,” Commissioner Clark added, as the planners directed that the error be corrected to read “prohibit the random scattering of mobile homes.” Dr. Krebser pointed out that the comprehensive plan’s statement calling for the encouragement of efficient transportation systems between the county and other localities might be interpreted as being in favor of such highway programs as the proposed outer beltway. "That bothers me . . . We don’t have a bus system. We don’t have a railroad system. So the only transportation system we’re talking about is highways. And if we want to build highways for developers, if that’s what you all want Commissioner David Fannon suggested that the section be rewritten to “encourage the development of an efficient transportation system, period.” His proposal met agreement from his fellow commissioners. Dr. Krebser also asked that support for improvements to primary and arterial roads be deleted from the comprehensive plan. (Continued on Page 3)

$ews of Record According to the Hagerstown Almanack Weatherwise: In the weather department the New Year starts off fair and cold on the 1st and 2nd, which is a forerunner of the month’s below normal temperatures. Precipitation, however, is anticipated to be about average. Look for similar temps, fair and cold, the 6-8, 12-14, 22-24, and the 31st. You can expect snow and stormy conditions during the periods 3-5, 9-11, 15-16, 20-21, 25-26, 29-30, the latter two possibly freezing rain. The traditional “January thaw” could come on the 27th or 28th when milder temperatures are indicated. Full moon This month’s full moon occurs Jan. 14 at 9:30 p.m. and, though usually known as the Snow Moon, could this year be very well called the Cold Moon since it coincides with a falling mercury. ' Winter driving requires different skills behind the wheel from other seasons. It’s always a wise precaution never to underestimate road conditions. When first starting out in bad weather, test the brakes lightly to determine how your car reacts to the road surface. If you get stuck in snow, carrying a small container" of sand in the trunk will often get yoif out of a troublesome situation. Winter snows and frozen ground suggest staying close to the fireside, not venturing near the garden. Now is the time, however, when most of us react to those gorgeous seed catalogues that seem to become more enticing each year. A word of caution: Don’t get carried away and order more seeds than you need. It’s the wise gardener who plants only what he can adequately take care of.

Fire (Continued from them.” \ ^ Fran, Eldred added, “Anyone who has'ever had any doubts about the efficiency of the local fire companies - I would just like them to come and take a look at what the volunteers did... And the Sheriffs Department: they were here in no time, stopping traffic to allow the fire trucks to get in.” « The fire caused extensive damage to the workshop and the stooge room behind it, as well as to the roof and rafters above the shop and the 1 north end of the house. Several rooms of the house were heavily damaged by water and by the necessity of the firefighters removing sec- , tions of wall and ceiling to make sure that the fire had not spread inside the walls. Mr^ Eldred said that there has been "no estimate, made of the amount of damage to the structure and its contents. “There’s no way that I can even begin to thank all the people who have offered help,” Mrs. Eldred said. “A world war may draw a nation together - this drew a community together. People who ydu would never expect to be able to get along are out there working side by side.” “Everybody you could imagine,” Mr. Eldred continued, “and some you couldn’t. I’m almost afraid to name names - I don’t want to leave anyone out.” One person Mrs. Eldred insisted on mentioning was Roger Roach.

The fire penetrated almost to the point near where the ladder stands against the house before being brought under control. “He was the unsung hero of the whole thing,” she said. Chief Roach, however, passed the credit along. “I have a lot of praise for the companies. We don’t have a lot of fires out here, so they don’t get much practice working together. It was excellent the way they came together and worked. It would havjgbeen an easy fire to quit on and let it bum.” Paul Poling, chief of Amissville Co. 3 and a veteran of many years in the fire service, agreed. “I think that control of the fire went very weU. It was an excellent example of the way mutual aid works - the way the different companies worked together to accomplish the common goal... They put a good stop on it.” Reflecting on the situation, Chief Roach added somberly, “We were lucky it happened on a holiday. The fire departments are really hurting for people during the day. We need more participation from the public during the daytime. It could have been real tragic.” Andy Guest ,—.(Continued from Page 1) will get'bhe'education money.” Asked about the feedback from his constituents about the proposed Western Washington Bypass, Del. Guests^id, “Those who’ve heard ahouFitar^opiposed to it. It would put intense’cfevelopment pressures on the counties I have, the honor to represent.” He said that the delegations from surrounding counties have also expressed opposition to the plan. Stafford County has expressed an interest in relieving pressure on the 1-95 corridor, and Prince William would support apian which Iinlp.tb^ east side of Washington by a- cross-' ing north of Quantico, and “I haven’t heard a whole lot of interest from Fairfax County.” Generally, he said, no one he has talked to supports the idea of building a highway through the counties west of Washington to the Potomac River and ending it. He expressed a preference for the bypass, if it is built, to follow the eastern route, roughly paralleling the existing Rt. 301 corridor. “It would shorten the distance for trucks headed for the northeast. It is ridiculous to make them come all the way out here.” Mr. Guest urged his constituents to let their representative on the Transportation Board, Connie Kinchloe of Culpeper District, know about their opposition. “Contact (her) and express your hope that Virginia will not come up the western corridor and end at the Potomac River, that you favor using the 301 route for the bypass. “They need letters,” he continued. “They have the ability to say, ‘We’re not interested.’ ” He added that letters should also be sent to the Governor’s office expressing the same feeling. Del. Guest also expressed his concern that salaries for Virginia State Police troopers be raised. “The salaries are not competitive with a number of the forces around the state - and Virginia ranks 46th or 48th in the country in pay for ifs state police.

Only by promotion to sergeant, which involves relocating to a different area, can they receive a salary increase. Del. Guest said that he intends to reintroduce a bill which would create another rank, between trooper and sergeant, of senior trooper and senior investigator. The new rank, he said, would reward those troopers and investigators with the most experience, and encourage them to stay wit^the YSP instead of.seeking Higher-paying jobs elsewhere. Calling it “a continual sales job,” Del. Guest said that he hopes to persuade the General Assembly to authorize additional game warden positions, “Especially in this area.

Depending upon the type of mortgage a homeowner selects, monthly payments can remain fixed — or at least predictable — over the life of the loan. EQUITY BUILDUP: Once rent money is spent, it’s gone forever. However, each monthly mortgage payment reduces the,amount owned on the loan while building up equity (dollar ownership) on the property. INCREASED VALUE: Here’s the big one. Most goods lose value with age and use. Home values, on the other hand, have a long history of increasing faster than the rate of inflation. That increase is on the entire amount of the value, including the mortgaged portion. On top of that, homeowners have the best tax breaks going and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future.

By consensus, the commissioners agreed to drop the requirement for a capital improvements plan from the land use guide. “I just wouldn’t know what to put in the thing,” said Mr. McCarthy. “You’ve got more pressing things to do with your time,” said Commissioner Miller. “You’ve got a subdivision ordinance to prepare.” The planning commissioners will continue their review of the comprehensive plan at their January meeting.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY, JANUARY 1.1987 Editorials The true spirit If ever there was an example of the true spirit of the Christmas season, it has been provided during the past week by the residents of the Town of Washington and their neighbors throughout Rappahannock County. Following a fire which seriously damaged their shop and home, Fran and Charlie Eldred and their family have been deluged with offers of assistance. Early Saturday morning, a group was up on the roof of the shop erecting a temporary plywood and plastic cover to shield the building from further damage. Others have stopped by throughout the week to spend a few hours helping to sort through and shovel out the heaps of plaster and wood which litter the building. Still other neighbors have brought food and offered clothing and bedding, and accommodations were provided by one of the town’s inns. In a time when selfishness is often portrayed as the dominant influence, when stories abound of neighbors who don’t even know each other’s names,'when people refiise to help in emergencies because they’re afraid of being sued — isn’t it comforting to know that some of the old-fashioned sense of community and spirit of the season still exists? Doesn’t it feel good to be old-fashioned? Jackson needs a voice * The Board of Supervisors has promised a vote on the long-awaited high school expansion project at its meeting Jan. 5. Action must come soon or the county will lose its lowinterest literary loan money by default. However, as important as the capital outlay decision is, there is a matter equally as important that should be dealt with first: the vacant seat representing Jackson District. With Supervisor J. R. Latham's untimely death, the people of Jackson District lost a dedicated public servant, as well as their voice on the county's governing board. The remaining supervisors can't return Mr. Latham; they can, however, return that voice. The law charges the board with filling the vacancy within 30 days. The vote on a replacement to represent Jackson District should precede any action on the high school outlay proposal. Over the years, the residents of Jackson District have demonstrated their interest in public education. Consistently, that district has sent the largest contingent to hearings on school issues. Parents from Jackson District have regularly attended School Board meetings, sitting in the principal’s office until 2 a.m. on many occasions, waiting for a return to open session and adjournment. More recently, the petition drive in support of the RCHS building project got its strongest backing in Jackson District, receiving the signatures of more than one-third of the district's registered voters. The people of Jackson District deserve a voice. The obvious choice H. G. (Butch) Zindel is the obvious choice to fill the vacancy on the Board of Supervisors. He has demonstrated strong support in Jackson District, losing to three-term incumbent J. R. Latham by just five votes in the last election in 1983. No one else can claim that level of backing by the district’s voters. A resident of the county for eight years, Mr. Zindel knows the issues facing Rappahannock. He is as committed to preserving and protecting the county’s agricultural industry and fragile natural resources as he is to meeting mandates for education, roads, social services and solid waste disposal. i He’s a family man in a county where “we believe very strongly in the family unit,” recently put it. as one planning commissioner Common sense tells us that Butch Zindel should be named Jackson District supervisor. Precedent says the same thing. When Chairman Newbill Miller unexpectedly resigned from the board in 1974, Clarence Baldwin, his opponent in the previous election, was appointed to the board in his stead. Mr. Baldwin had run the same dose race as did Mr. Zindel, losing by just one vote, according to the recount. Back in 1974, Mr. Baldwin had support from 231 voters. In 1983, Mr. Zindel tallied 221 votes. We ask that the Board of Supervisors recognise that precedent and appoint Butch Zindel as representative from Jackson District. niHwIi—inrlr Mrnt irhntffl tnt Hiltrr Rappahannock Heritage BEAVERS'ALONG THE THORNTON RIVER have been busy this winter.

Of late we have read much about demands for "quality education” in our public schools. I have repeatedly challenged those using it to define the term “quality education” and, so far, have had no takers. Yet such is the hold in Rappahannock of this shibboleth or watchword they cannot define that they now apply it to any program, physical facility, or compensation schedule which is the subject of their organized and collective demands of the moment. If improvement of academic and moral instruction of the young in our public schools happens to be benefited amidst all this clamor it is entirely fortuitous since demands for raising academic standards in our public schools are seldom, if even, among those of this clamorous group. I now offer to this group a definition which is almost 400 years old and which has stood the test of time, in my opinion, since Sir Francis Bacon presented it in his famous essay on The Advancement of Learning: Quality Education is the inculcation of knowledge and virtue. Sir Francis would have understood and approved well-equipped laboratories for instruction of high school students in the physical sci ences, as needed to offer them a quality education. Also Sir Francis believed that true learning was “as agreeable to health of mind as exercise is to health of body” and would have approved, I think, of the general physical education programs in modem schools to maintain healthy young bodies in support of. active and inquiring young minds. Nevertheless, I seriously doubt that Bacon would have considered the proposed new gymnasium-auditorium-theater complex an essential part, in itself, of quality education. The new, enlarged gym may be a source of public entertainment, amusement, and personal pride for the sports-loving parents and friends of the few competing participant-students on the basketball court but I would suggest that the students who excel in academic activities, such as the Quiz Team, bring more honor to their parents, to the whole county, and to themselves. On Dec. 18,1 was not a speaker, “sole” or otherwise, in opposition to everything in the proposed capital outlay project. Those elements of it which would actually promote academic instruction (the inculcation of knowledge and virtue) have in me a dedicated ally; those elements which do not, have my complete indifference, as a misplaced priority in this county at this time. In fact, one could easily make the case that these latter elements may be actually destructive of academic instruction, as they have been at the University of Maryland and many other “institutions of learning” recently. The superintendent’s personal and social conversations at the Hampton Inn, with or without table napkins, were and are unknown to me. But I repeat that, the first time Mr. Estabrook shared with the School Board his new and enlarged basketball gymnasium and auditorium-theater expansion project, with interlocking and inter-dependent components, I was there on the board. We listened to it as a new capital outlay plan proposed by the superintendent and listened with mixed reactions. At any rate, why would anyone who favors the new gymnasium-auditorium-theater plan try now to take away from the man the credit for first proposing it to his School Board? • The thrust of my comments at the hearing, however, was to lament the sorry spectacle in recent weeks of the public comments on the lack of communications between the supervisors and the School Board members whom the supervisors now appoint in the first place. Upon reflection, I think that I might have been more even-handed in my com ments on this point because the supervisors are not entirely blameless for the present imbroglio of misunderstandings. I have carried a Panthers sticker on my pickup for years to boost our Rappahannock teams but the time has arrived to ask seriously some hard questions: (1) For what purpose do the people of this county believe public schools were established in this state, over a century ago, in the first place? (2) Just what purpose do the people of this county want their public schools to serve? (3) What priorities do the people of this county want their School Board to establish in the training of these young people anyway? Your paper’s account of the proceedings and verbal violence after I left the hearing on Dec. 18 saddens me and makes me question whether these children will ever get what they are legally, morally, ethically and by natural right entitled to receive - an education inculcating in them knowledge and virtue — no matter how much is spent and on what. But 1987 presents a new page, as yet unmarked by good or evil; let us never abandon hope. In a moral and civic sense, these children belong to us all and should be cherished by us all. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill No pass, no play To the editor: Although I have put aside my “no pass, no-play” proposal for the time being, I intend to pursue ways, through legislation if necessary, to guarantee higher academic standards within the high schools of the Commonwealth, particularly among athletes. The new “Take Five - Pass Five” standard of the Virginia High School League is a step in the right direction but does not go far enough. (For your readers, the Virginia High School League sets eligibility standards for extracurricular activities such as dramatics, cheerleading, and athletics.) Most youngsters, including athletes, pay attention to their ^studies because they have diligent parents (or peers). Others need an “external influence.” I know from experience. Without divulging which kind of athlete I was in high scfyiol, had I not had a coach and a teacher who took me aside before it was too late and said, “Listen, kid . . ,” there was no way I would ever have gotten into college, with or without a football scholarship. Academic standards need to be tightened even more. A “Take Five - Pass Five” standard simply keeps a few students eligible (with five ITs) who otherwise would likely The danger of this standard is that it might encourage otherwise good students to perform at the minimum satisfactory level required to stay eligible. flunk out. The high school principals and teachers need more authority. I would like to see every school appoint a teacher (from the English, math, history or science department) to monitor the performance of students in extracurricular activities, with the authority to bar any student from practice for flagrant academic non-performance. Truancy, cutting classes, failing to turn in homework or papers due, or disruptive behavior in the classroom would be examples. The athletic department would have to abide by decisions of the academic monitor. Only the principal could overrule the monitor’s decision, and only for sound reasons that went beyond the value, of the student to the extracurricular activity. 1 I would introduce legislation that would provide funding to pay monitors for these additional responsibilities. From experience as a player and a coach, I know what will happen about the second time a coach or drama teacher is told that students Jones cannot practice today because he didn’t turn in His math homework. The youngster will be called in for one of those “Listen kid” lectures, and it might very well be the best thing that ever happened to him. J. W. (“BILLY”) O’BRIEN, JR. 83rd District Chairman Committee on Education Virginia Beach Support hunting reform To the editor: The' western hunting season has ended, and again several hunters have been killed through careless and negligent hunting practices. Some people have said that we are fortunate to lose only six or seven lives a year, considering that hunting season draws more than 400,000 hunters to our forests annually. My opinion is that one life is too many. I agree that blaze orange clothing greatly reduces the risk that a hunter will be mistaken for game. I also firmly believe that everyone should wear it while hunting. I do, and I request that my hunting companions do the same. But statistics compiled by the Game Commission show that at least half of all injuries and fatalities occur in situations where blaze orange would make no difference: in open fields, for example, or when loading or unloading a firearm. Most reasonable people will agree that there is a small segment of the hunting population that will resist any efforts to require blaze orange. A conservative estimate is that three in 10 turkey hunters will flatly refuse to wear the color, regardless of the law. Consider for a moment the psychology of hunters who shoot at sounds and movement. Earlier this month, a jogger near Keysville was shot by a hunter. The hunter had mistaken the jogger for a deqr. I don’t think that everyone wants to require joggers to wear blaze orange, but media attention given to the blaze orange issue has left the public with the impression that blaze orange is a panacea. Public discussion has shifted away from the very heart of the matter - a hunter must assume responsibility for the gun in his hand. There is widespread agreement that the time for drastic improvement in hunter safety has long since passed. We may see a blaze orange bill of some sort passed by the General Assembly next year. But if we do, we must be absolutely sure that we don’t stop there. Human lives are too sacred for us to stand idly by. The situation calls for a more comprehensive approach than blaze orange atone would offer. Hunters need to be educated, and punished fairly yet firmly if they take the life of another. I have again introduced my • hunter education bill. I will continue to work for its passage. And while I cannot speak for my colleagues, I believe that if the House is convinced that hunter safety reform will encompass other, more positive changes, some form of blaze orange may pass. The problems associated with hunter safety are too complex to be addressed adequately by simply mandating blaze orange. Our dilemma lies in effectively providing long term improvement without passing laws that we cannot enforce. Only a comprehensive program can provide the real, long term improvement that the sport needs. DEL. A. VICTOR THOMAS, 17th District

It is a beautiful life if you renew your mind to the word of God (Rom. 12:2). Then just follow in Jesus steps. (I Peter 2:21). You cannot live the life of a Christian until you are bom again. Jesus said you must be bom again. (John 3:3 & 7). After you have received Jesus ‘as your Lord then you can have that NEW BEGINNING, and a •victorious life.
