Mr. Henry will fill the year remaining in the term of J. R. Latham, who died suddenly last month. In a split decision, Supervisors Nelson Lime, Newbill Miller and Charles Estes chose Mr. Henry over two other candidates seeking the position. “My firm belief is that we go along with the voters of the district,” announced Chairman Hubert Gilkey, pointing out that H. G. (Butch) Zindel had come within five votes of defeating the incumbent supervisor in the last general election. He noted that Mr. Zindel had collected 104 signatures in support of his appointment while Mr. Henry had submitted a petition carrying 90 names. Chairman Gilkey added that Jack Atkins had also asked to be named to the vacancy. (An additional petition for Mr. Zindel was delivered to the courthouse after the board’s vote, adding 12 more names to his tally.) “Mr. Zindel ran a very good race. I would think that’s the way we should go,” Mr. Gilkey continued. He also noted that, as a precedent, when a vacancy was created previously, a supervisor candidate who lost a similarly close race was named to the slot. (In 1974, when thenchairman Newbill Miller resigned, Clarence Baldwin, his opponent in the 1971 election, was chosen as his , lUffhmucfc Ncw» phoUVCiady Milan JACKSON DISTRICT’S NEW SUPERVISOR, A1 Henry, is sworn in by County Clerk Diane Bruce. replacement from Hampton District. Mr. Baldwin lost in 1971 by a single vote.) “I don’t think we’ve had a race between these three candidates,” countered Supervisor Miller. “Mr. Zindel ran against Mr. Latham,” not against A1 Henry and Jack Atkins, he said. “I don’t think we’ve had an election (to look to) and I don’t think we have a precedent. ” “I don’t think the board should be held to a precedent, either,” added Supervisor Lane. “Cases should be weighed individually.” Mr. Gilkey reported that the phone calls he’d received on the is sue have given “overwhelming support” for Mr. Zindel. Mr. Lane acknowledged that the communications he’d received were overwhelmingly in support of Mr. Zindel “until the last few days” when “Mr. Henry’s been out beating the bushes.” Mr. Zindel lost by just five votes “for the term now in progress,” said Lee Bird. “That seems to me more than just a precedent... All that’s in question here is the interim appointment for the balance of this term. Mr. Zindel was public spirited enough to run then and he’s public spirited enough to put his name in now.” “We surely do miss Mr. Latham,” said Ron Frazier. “Other than his family, I feel that you best knew Mr. Latham and the type of man he was and the type of decisions he would make,” he told the supervisors. “It’s in the best interests of Jackson District and the county as a whole to return a conservative minded individual to the board,” Mr. Frazier said, asking that A1 Henry be appointed. “I appreciate your trying to give us a representative as soon as possible,” said Vickie Eastham. Noting that the board members are chosen through the democratic process by a majority of the district residents, she maintained that “the closest Jackson District can come at this time to a majority candidate is Mr. Zindel.” In 1983, he “canvassed the district, he took time to listen to our concerns and he told us what his positions were . . . This is supposed to be elected representation, and the best you can do now to follow that is to appoint Mr. Zindel,” Mrs. Eastham told the supervisors. She pointed out that Mr. Zindel fell just five votes short of a majority when ballots were cast in 1983 “without pressure, without someone saying, ‘Here's my petition. Sign it!’ ” The board is facing important decisions in the coming months, said Forrest Whorton, asking that A1 Henry be named as the Jackson Dis(Continued on Page 12) Looking for ‘least worst’ site for e ounty’ s landfiU By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ravpahuuioek New* Staff Writer “I hope we can find the least worst site for a landfill,” said Mike Massie, chairman of the landfill site selection committee, in his report to the supervisors at Monday’s board meeting. “We all hope Mr. Joyce (consultant Leonard Joyce) will find a trash disposal site outside of the county, but if that isn’t the case, we want to have a site here ready to go,” Mr. Massie told the supervisors. He noted that the special committee has advertised in local newspapers and worked with real estate agents who have listings in the county. “We’re focusing our search on land that is for sale,” Mr. Massie emphasized. The committee has studied 12 sites and recommended additional evaluation for two: the Saltonstall tract off Route 622 and the Stover property, 99.75 acres off Route 639 near Amissville. The further testing (which has already been completed on the property owned by Patricia Saltonstall) determines depth and amount of clay. “If the soil’s not deep enough, if there’s no clay, there’s no Rappahannock Round-ups Inside Supervisors suggest game law changes to control deer population in county.p. 3 Government at a glance • Water and Sewer Authority, Thun.

The chairman passed out copies of the evaluation form developed by the landfill site committee and filled out for the Stover property, volunteering to supply the evaluation on the Saltonstall site when that form is completed. The topography of the 99.75-acre Stover property is described as “gently rolling hills” with “one large, broad ridge top” as a possible landfill location. The property has one small and one medium sized stream and one spring. Only two or three houses are located nearby although the committee members note on the evaluation form that a landfill would have an impact on houses along Route 639. Access to the Stover property, located six-tenths of a mile from Route 211, is on a state-maintained road, of which a half-mile is gravel and would need to be upgraded. The report notes that the state may pay half this expense. Forest cover is described as excellent, “about 90 percent wctoded.” As to soil suitability, according to \ Stover tract TT Saltonstall tract’ the evaluation form, committee members took three five-foot test bores in the ridge top area and found no rock and soil which appears to have clay content.

Supervisors vote Ves’ Tfe., for RCHS expansion By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer With a new board member in the “pro” camp and an old board member opting to switch rather than fight, the supervisors in one vote on Monday amended the county budget and accepted the state’s $1.5 million literary loan for the long delayed high school expansion. “We said we’d make a decision today,” said Chairman Hubert Gilkey, referring to the board’s promise at last month’s standing-room-only public hearing on the proposed capital outlay project and acceptance of the low interest loan for construction. With that reminder and with no fanfare and no preamble, Supervisor Charles Estes offered a motion to approve the $1.5 million building program and amend the budget to show the same amount under revenue and expenditure. There was a pause; the crowd in the courtroom held its collective breath. The motion was seconded by A1 Henry, the new “supervisor from Jackson District appointed just a few minutes earlier by majority vote. “Rappahannock County cannot take three more years of fighting and bitterness,announced Supervisor Newbill Miller, who had been a consistent opponent of the project. “I’m going to support this.” Mr. Miller, a former member of the Rappahannock County School Board, explained that he has always been in favor of improvements in the ^academic facilities at the high school. “And my district is overwhelmingly in support of the academic portion (of the expansion),” he added, noting that this “academic” part of the capital outlay project accounts for just one-third of the total cost. (The project - a combination of new and renovated space - centers on a new, regulationsized gymnasium which will seat 750. The remodeling of the old gym plus new construction will provide four additional classrooms, including science labs with gas and water and room for lab preparation and storage of supplies, a clinic, an adaptive physical education room for handicapped students, larger library, larger cafeteria, larger kitchen, larger guidance offices and larger administrative offices, an auditorium with tiered seating, additional storage rooms and additional bathrooms.) Criticizing the high proportion of the total cost allotted to non-academics, specifically for the new gymnasium, Supervisor Miller conceded that opponents never defined the issues involved in the capital outlay fight. “We let the issue be, ‘Is it going to be built or is it not going to be built?’ (when) the true issue was WHAT to build ... We failed to get the issues properly defined,” he maintained. Mr. Miller recalled that he had asked last October, when the project was presented to the Board of Supervisors, if the design could be scaled down. “I was told that the plans could not be changed. I don’t believe that was the case.” According to the Hampton District supervisor, at least two School Board members had reservations regarding the gymna(Continued on Page 12) i County consumers given phone choice By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Equal access has finally come to Rappahannock. For some time, commercials advertising the benefits of one longdistance telephone company over another have been playing on television and radio, and prominently displayed in newspapers and magazines. But, until now, Rappahannock County residents have not had a choice. AT&T was the only longdistance service available. That is about to change. Customers in the Sperryville (987) exchange in the county are now being asked to choose between three long-distance carriers: AT&T Long Distance Service (which presently serves the entire county), ITT Longer Distance Service, or MCI Dial “1” Long Distance Service. All customers who will be offered equal access have recently received an equal access ballot which contains the names of the three companies. According to the instructions, the ballot must be returned by Feb. 9, or a long-distance company will be assigned at random. Equal access service will begin March 1. The long-distance company, whether selected or assigned, will serve each customer just as AT&T does now. To make long-distance calls the dialing procedure will remain the same. The call will automatically be switched to the customer’s long-distance network. Most long-distance calls are now handled by several different systems. Each company runs a “backbone” line, which handles the call for most of its distance. But, each company also must usually lease another company’s lines to complete the connection to the call’s destination. For example, a call from Washington to San Francisco may be handled by one company as it travels from Washington to Chicago, then be switched to a second company, whose network might serve calls routed from Chicago to San Francisco. Calls within the Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) served by C&P Telephone will continue to be handled by that company, including toll calls made by Centel customers in the Washington (675) exchange. The Culpeper LATA covers most of the Northern Virginia area, bounded roughly by Fredericksburg on the east, Gordonsville on the south, the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west and the Maryland line on the north. It does not include the suburban Washington exchanges east of Fauquier and Loudoun counties. Customers who choose one of AT&T’s competitors will receive two bills each month: one from C&P Telephone for local service charges and toll calls placed within the Culpeper LATA; and another for toll calls placed through the customer’s primary long-distance carrier. These would include intrastate calls made outside the Culpeper LATA, as well as all interstate calls. While many of the services offered by the three companies are similar, there are a few differences. AT&T Long Distance Service The thrust of AT&T’s advertising campaign is that, by choosing AT&T, customers can continue getting “the same great service” they have become accustomed to for more than 100 years, according to actor Cliff Robertson, who serves as AT&T’s principal TV advertising spokesman. AT&T’s services include direct dialing to more than 146 foreign countries, and the ability to complete calls with operator assistance to a total of more than 250 countries and territories, added AT&T spokesman Bob Sangster. In addition, AT&T offers operator assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in completing (ills, or for customers with misdialed, wrong number or disconnected toll calls. Immediate operator assistance, Mr. Sangster pointed out, is a service which AT&T’s competitors do not offer. As another selling point, AT&T is touting reductions in rates which took effect at midnight, Dec. 31; the average drop is 11.2 percent. According to Mr. Sangster, since de- ’ regulation of the long-distance industry three years ago, AT&T’s interstate rates have dropped a total of 30 percent through a series of four major slashes in rates, saving con(Continued on Page 12)

He’ll shop a particular neighborhood and home-type. He’ll rarely buy the first one he visits. It’s too big an investment to be nonchalant. He will then compare prices against COMPARATIVE value. He’ll quickly throw out any obviously overpriced homes. If the buyer really likes one of these overpriced homes, he MAY make a counter offer at a lower price — closer to its true value. But history shows tha^ he’ll probably make his offer for one already realistically valued. A local Realtor can save the home seller much chagrin in the area of comparative pricing. He or she knows what similar homes are selling for and which homes are not selling due to overpricing. Your Realtor can help you select the proper selling price — one that will bring the best profit in the shortest time. It makes sense to work with documented facts instead of guesswork.

Who runs Teen Weekend? By SANDRA RICHARDSON The Teen Weekend traditionally held in the Northern District will be held Feb. 6-8 this year. Teen Weekend was originally called a Business Management Workshop. It has since evolved into a weekend of learning about 4-H, self analysis and entertainment. tere has been an interest in incorporating some economic and finess, management principles into ''this yew’s Teen Weekend, but, of course, not at the expense of fun. After considerable thought, a new plan has been developed for teaching these skills. Following an evening of learning some basics of business management Saturday will be spent managing a business. Each participant’s registration fee will include $5 which will be collected and retained for business purposes throughout the weekend. Based on a first-come-firstserved basis, persons will have the opportunity to select from the following business areas: lodging, food or entertainment. Two companies, competing against each other, will be formed in each business area. The goals of each company are: (1) to estimate the demand for and thus the price for their product; (2) based on estimated demand, develop a budget from which they will obtain a bank loan; (3) advertise; (4) use computers for recording all financial dealings; (5) make a profit given the real budget constraint of $5 per person; (6) develop a profit and loss statement. Mono-Poly Inc. will be selling rooms, at a range of prices, in three lodging facilities. After preparing an Extension Agent approved budget, each lodging company can buy the number of rooms for which they can obtain a bank loan from Mono-Poly Bank. (Part of the $5 will be used as collateral.) The lodging companies will advertise rooms for rent for a specific price. With their $5, participants can rent new rooms and re-locate Saturday night. Mono-Poly Inc. will offer five menu options to the two food companies. Again, companies will prepare a budget, obtain a bank loan, advertise and attempt to sell the food they have purchased for a profit. The two entertainment companies will have five options from which they can each choose one for Saturday evening. They will be involved in the same business management planning as other companies. Participants mil have two choices of entertainment for the evening. The companies will be competing and advertising for business. Each person has only $5 to spend on the business of which they are a partner and to purchase other business’ services. Therefore, each person must not only help manage a company, but allocate his or her own wealth. Each company will present a profit and loss statement Sunday morning. Economic principles will be discussed in lieu of what happened to each company. On their way home, young people can think about what it actually takes to run a business. They can also think about other career opportunities for them, since all will encouraged to visit the newly established “career center” at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center. January brings eagle count Scientists and volunteers across Virginia and the nation will undertake the country’s annual count of the bald eagle, its national bird, during January. The census has been scheduled to run from Jan. 1 to 15, with target dates set for Jan. 9 and 10. The twoday concentrated effort is designed to provide scientists with a base count which will, it is hoped, prevent counting the same birds twice as they move from one location to another. Virginia’s major concentration of eagles will be found in the eastern part of the state, according to the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. Last year, the commission reported 287 birds counted, the highest number since the count began. The Rappahannock River basin held the largest number, with 112 birds counted. The Potomac and James Rivers were two other areas supporting good numbers of wintering eagles, the report said. Dr. Michael Byrd, a scientist on the faculty of the College of William and Mary, will fly most of the eastern portion of the state, including the Eastern Shore, to count the eagles. The commission is requesting assistance in its count again this year. Anyone who sights a bald eagle during the survey period (Jan. 1 to 15) is asked to send a postcard to the Virginia Game Commission, 4010 W. Broad St., Richmond, Va. 232301104, Attention: Suzie Gilkey. The card should include the date and exact time of the sighting, the location % Be Resourceful. Recycle. For Information Call 1-800 KEEP ITT and the sender’s name and address. The information should also note whether the eagle was mature, with the familiar white head and tail feathers, or immature. Although Virginia is a major wintering area for bald eagles, not all of those counted during this census will be considered resident eagles. Many of these birds will actually be from other areas of the ^eastern United States and Canada. Resident Virginia eagles will be busy rebuilding last year’s nests and if an eagle is seen carrying sticks, there’s a good chance a nest is under construction or being repaired. Each year, the birds will add on to the nest used the previous season. Recently, the mid-winter count has turned up new nests which reflect an increase in the eagle population in Virginia. The bald eagle count and research is funded by the Nongame Wildlife and Endangered Species program. Monies for the program come from contributions made from state tax refunds. For more information on how to assist in restoring the bald eagle population in Virginia, contact Mrs. Suzie Gilkey, Virginia Game Commission, 4010 W. Broad St., Richmond, Va. 23230-1104.

Lane places second in state Competing in the nationwide Coca-Cola Junior NASTAR ski racing program, Phelps Lane of Woodville placed second in Virginia in the five and six-year-old category. He recorded a season-best 55 handicap in competition at Bryce Resort to earn the second-place finish. “It is quite an accomplishment for these young racers to make the state rankings,” said NASTAR Commissioner Bob Beattie. “Phelps is one of the best recreational ski racers in Vriginia and can be very proud of this achievement. I hope to see these young racers competing in the Olympics some day.” Phelps is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Phelps Lane of Woodville. During the 1985-86 season, more than 140,000 young skiers raced in the Coca-Cola Junior NASTAR program held at 135 ski areas in 36* states. Each racer’s best handicap of the season was recorded, and all participants were ranked by handicap, age and gender in each of the 40 participating states. The top 10 boys and girls in each age group will receive a certificate and patch and be listed on the CocaCola Junior NASTAR State Rankings Poster. First place finishers receive a pair of I-SKI sunglasses. NASTAR’s unique handicapping system, by which all participants are measured against a national standard, allows kids to win gold, silver or bronze medals depending on their individual performances in their age group. NASTAR is operf to boys and girls of all abilities iqthe following age groups: 4 and undet, 5-6, 7-9,1012,13-15 and 16-18.

Any population - with the exception of human beings - should be kept in balance,” said Supervisor Newbill Miller. And to keep the county’s burgeoning deer population in balance, the Board of Supervisors agreed Monday to petition the Virginia Game Commission for changes in local hunting laws. Specifically, the Rappahannock supervisors will ask to have the bag limit upped to three deer, one of which must be a doe, and doe hunting allowed throughout the season. (This year, during a season which ran from Nov. 17 to Jan. 5, doe could be taken only during the last 12 hunting days.) “The only way to control the size of the deer herd is by hunting and hunting doe,” Mr. Miller maintained. “Deer are placid animals at the beginning of the season. Now, boy, they’re moving and really moving.” By allowing doe to be shot at the season’s start, the number of doe harvested will increase substantially, he predicted. “The people in my area are overwhelmingly against increasing the bag limit to three. In Jackson District, the deer herd is in balance. There is no over-population in Jackson,” countered A1 Henry, Jackson District’s new supervisor, appointed earlier that morning. “I think it’s interesting that some of the people complaining about the deer are aggressively posting their land against hunting, even running advertisements in the newspaper,” Mr. Henry continued. Orchaiidists who have a problem with deer damage can get extra tickets from the game warden to kill the destructive animals, he said. That way, the problem can be taken care of where the ptablem exists, instead of penalizing 4he entire county, Mr. Henry added, suggesting that current game laws be used to combat overpopulation in scattered pockets. “The existing laws haven’t alleviated the problem,” Supervisor Miller replied. Supervisor Charles Estes, a former orchardist who gave up the business after fighting a losing battle to save his apple trees near Shenandoah National Park from deer, pointed to problems with the “ticket” approach recommended by Mr. Henry. “I didn’t want to shoot .the deer and leave them lay ... I could have gotten tickets from the game warden, I could have slaughtered a whole herd. But what would I do with them then?” Mr. Estes asked. “I say let the people shoot the deer and use the meat. ” Mr. Henry countered that orchardists could allow hunters on theiy property to use the tickets to harvest excess deer. Tickets are non-transferable, issued to orchardists and farmers and by law, shared only with household members and tenants on the orchard or farm, Mr. Estes explained. A higher bag limit will attract even more hunters to the county, maintained Supervisor Nelson Lane, whose Stonewall-Hawthome District is particularly plagued by trespassing, hunting on posted property and illegal hunting from roads. He recalled that a hunter was recently shot and killed in a hunting accident here. "And I understand that no one’s even going to be charged,” he criticized. “That will be showing people that if you don’t like someone, all you have to do is go out in hunting season, track him and shoot him.” Enforcement of existing game laws is difficult when the county is patrolled by only a single warden, Mr. Lane said. He noted that game wardens, worked with other law enforcement officers on a drug investigation and arrest in neighboring Orange County. If wardens assist the state police and sheriffs departments with non-game laws, then “I don’t see why it can’t go the other way,” Mr. Lane said, calling on those two departments to enforce game laws. He pointed to a recent enforcement offensive here as a model of effective control. According to Supervisor Lane, the game commission set up a “dummy” deer along a road in Stonewall-Hawthorne District. Every vehicle which passed the stuffed animal fired, he noted, reporting further that the violations were recorded on video camera. According to Mr. Lane, 25 citations for game law violations resulted from this dummy deer “sting.” “We don’t have a problem with deer in my district destroying fruit trees; we have a problem with hunters!” (Game Warden Jim Bankston confirmed that a decoy deer was set up on three county roads during the hunting season which ended Monday, resulting in “somewhere around” the number of citations reported by Supervisor Lane. He declined to release further information, noting that charges are pending against a number of individuals.)

THURSDAY, JANUARY 8.1987 Editorial A good start The Board of Supervisors certainly ushered in the New Year with a bang at its meeting on Monday. The supervisors took action on several issues of great importance to county residents, and their work deserves credit. By approving the capital expansion project at Rappahannock County High School, the board has addressed problems of space and inadequate facilities which have plagued the school for years. By submitting recommendations to the Virginia Game Commission for changes in the game regulations in Rappahannock County, the board stated in no uncertain terms its feelings about the twin problems of an overpopulation of deer and the pressures which the county comes under because of its longer hunting season. * And, by appointing A1 Henry as Jackson District representative to fill the vacancy created by the untimely death of J. R. Latham, the supervisors assured that the district will continue to be represented by a man who shares Mr. Latham’s deep concern for the values which Rappahannock’s residents cherish. The board, with the assistance of its landfill site committee, continues to make progress on two fronts: examining out-of-county disposal methods, and alternative landfill sites within the county. For a year which is less than two weeks old, the supervisors have made good progress on several major issues. We hope that, as the New Year progresses, the community will offer its support and assistance to our officials as they continue seek solutions to the difficult problems, facing the county. Religion and schools a case of textbooks ••' oy junix u. niiBi JK. Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Two weeks ago a federal court in Tennessee decided that a public school had no right to coerce children to read books assaulting their religious beliefs. The Tennessee decision has already drawn a maelstrom of protest, detractors labelling the case “Scopes II," in reference to the trial of a Tennessee teacher during the 1920s for teaching evolution. A better comparison, however, could be made with the civil rights cases of the 1960s. Unlike the fundamentalists of the 1920s, the parents in question were not trying to force their beliefs upon anybody else. They weren’t seeking to stop the teaching of evolution; they weren’t trying to force the schools to adopt a Christian curriculum. They simply wanted the school district to tolerate their religious beliefs by not forcing their children to read things they found unacceptable. Whatever the ultimate legitimacy of their objections, there is no question that the stand the parents took require courage. Like the blacks who fought so nobly against segregation, these seven families faced obstacles at every turn. For refusing to read the assigned selections, their children were expelled from school. When parent Vickie Frost went to school to talk about her children’s class assignments, she was arrested. (She was later awarded a $70,000 civil rights verdict in a separate case.) Perhaps the most savage thing they had to face, however, has been the continual ridicule by journalists and a political group with the paradoxical title of People for the American Way (PAW). ^Journalists have denigrated the case by publicizing only the most trivial of the parents’ objections to the reading materials. People for the American Way, on the other hand, seems to have taken the opposite tack. It has tried to portray the views of the Tennessee parents in near apocalyptic terms, suggesting that if their requests are granted it will lead to the destruction of public education. Not content with attacking the parents’ beliefs, PAW has tried to twist them beyond recognition. On the MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour, Anthony Podesta from PAW charged that parent Vickie Frost objected to the equal treatment of other religions. “She testified that what >he objected to in the books was the mention of other religions. She said ... at the trial that she wanted the schools to teach that her religion was the only true religion: She doesn’t believe in tolerance of other points of view. And what she wants to have is the schools supporting her religious beliefs.” Michael Farris, the attorney for the parents, shot back: “This fantasy version of these people’s beliefs” is what lawyers for the other side had argued in court - and they lost the case. According to Farris, Mrs. Frost has no problem with the objective discussion of what other religions believe. And she said so in court. It was qgly when certain religions were advocated that she objected. * Farris notes that several controversial issues were dealt with in a one-sided manner by the reading materials - controversial issues such as feminism. The treatment of religions was also one-sided. Readings treated Buddhism and American Indian religion - but not Protestant Christianity. Indeed, in at least one place, the textbook publisher had actually censored out a reference to Christianity. This occurred in a selection from the children’s story Little House in the Bin Woods. It is important to appreciate the? reasonableness of the judge’s decision. Those who suggest that it will lead to a decimation of public education are simply wrong. First of all, as the parents’ lawyer points out, the reading curriculum in this case systematically violated the parents’ beliefs. Those who object to a few passages in only one or two textbooks won’t find this decision very helpful to their cause. Second, this ruling in no sense undermines a school’s right to select its own curriculum. The Tennessee parents did not request nor did the judge order that the school curriculum be changed. All that was demanded was accommodation. The parents requested alternate readings. The judge said that the parents ought to be allowed to teach reading to their children at home. In this way, academic freedom was maintained. But right of religious conscience was also maintained. In America, how could we accept anything less?

Rappahannock Heritage THE QUICKLY MELTING SNOW from last week’s storm left intriguing patterns on the county’s farm ponds. V__ A Opinions wanted To the editor; I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many residents who supported me for the Board of Supervisors position. I invite the residents of Jackson District to contact me with their opinions concerning the issues facing our county. My home phone is 937-5564. Your Assistance is greatly appreciated. AL F. HENRY Supervisor Jackson District Second-hand smoke To the editor: Each year the U.S. Surgeon General releases a special report on the health consequences of smoking. FoT the tobacco industry, the release of the report is an embarrassing event, one that the industry wishes would just go away. While the reports, without exception, continue to condemn cigarette smoking as the number one preventable cause of death and disease in America, the industry has to keep on defending and promoting its products. This happens even when the Surgeon General issues reports linking smoking with special diseases, such as heart disease, chronic lung diseases and cancer. This year, however, the tobacco industry is faced with a different challenge. This year the report not only condemns smoking as a health hazard for smokers, but for nonsmokers as well. The latest report from Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, MD, makes one thing quite clear: a person does not have to be a smoker to jeopardize his or her health; inhaling secondhand smoke can also pose a serious health hazard. The scientific evidence on the health hazards of secondhand smoke, presented in the 1986 report by Dr. Koop, is quite convincing and comprehensive. The report makes a strong case for non-smokers to protect their health by avoiding places where there are no limitations on smoking. No one should be obligated to inhale harmful chemicals such as hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, tars and other toxic substances found in cigarette smoke. We hope that this year’s report from Dr. Koop will lead many communities to restrict cigarette smoking in public places such as schools, shopping malls, private and government offices and restaurants. In many parts of the country, such restrictions are already in place. If this report settles any question, it is that of a smoker’s “personal” right to smoke cigarettes anywhere, anytime. Smokers have never really had the right to contaminate the air, but now they have an obligation to keep the air clean, just like everybody else. Smokers may know that they are endangering their health, but the question now is do non-smokers know what they are doing to themselves by inhaling secondhand cigarette smoke? For those in the health care industry, this year’s report presents a new challenge. We have to continue to urge smokers to quit smoking, but now we have to educate non-smokers and former smokers to stay away from cigarette smoke. The health hazards of smoking have been identified in warnings on cigarette packages for many years. The same warnings have appeared on cigarette advertisements. Today the warnings are quite specific, listing several’ major diseases associated with smoking. Non-smokers, however, don’t pay attention to those warnings. They should. Perhaps we need a new set of Surgeon General’s warnings for the non-smoker. I’d like to suggest a few: WARNING: NON-SMOKING WOMEN MARRIED TO SMOKERS HAVE AN INCREASED RISK OF HEART DISEASE. WARNING: EXPOSING YOUR CHILDREN TO CIGARETTE SMOKE CAN INCREASE THEIR RISK OF DEVELOPING RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS. WARNING: SECONDHAND CIGARETTE SMOKE CONTAINS TARS AND OTHER CANCER CAUSING SUBSTANCES. A. LARRY MILLER, MD Vice-president American Lung Association of Northern Virginia Thanks for helping io me editor: The fund-raising effort for the renovation of the Rappahannock County Courthouse by the Rappahannock Historical Society has come to an end. We wish to thank all the contributors for their generous donations. Responding to our request for financial assistance from the community, 101 individuals, families, businesses and organizations con tributed a total of $8,392 toward the renovation project. We wanted to have a plaque recognizing all the contributors placed in the courthouse, but we did not take in sufficient funds to accomplish this. Many thanks again to all the contributors, and best wishes for 1987. The Rappahannock Historical Society Have something to say about public issues? Get it off your chest. Write a letter to the editor. Fighting inequity To the editor: An existing inequity in our income tax laws has just been made dramatically more inequitable. If property was purchased in 1967 for $10,000 and is sold in 1987 for $20,000 there has actually been an economic loss due to inflation. The $10,000 “gain” will now be fully taxed even though the $20,000 received has only about two-thirds of the purchasing power of the $10,000 invested in 1967. Through 1986 the inequity of taxing this nonexistent gain has been cushioned by the long-term capital gains deduction. The new federal law provides for a maximum tax of 28 percent of ALL the gain. The old law imposes a maximum tax of 50 percent on just 40 percent ofthe gain, resulting in a maximum federal tax of 20 percent of ALL the gain. This is a 40 percent increase in the federal tax. If you think the 40 percent increase in federal income tax on the sale of assets is rather great then be aware that the increase "in VIRGINIA income tax on the sale of assets will increase by 250 percent! A little simple math will prove to you that a tax on ALL the gain on the sale of property is two and one-half times the tax due on 40 percent of the gain on the sale of property. My proposed legislation to help eliminate the taxing of nonexistent gain is as follows: If a taxpayer’s federal adjusted gross income includes a gain on the sale of property and the property has been owned by the taxpayer for any part of three or more calendar years the taxpayer may take an inflation factor deduction on the state return for such period of time the taxpayer owned the property. (Limitation: Deduction cannot exceed gain reported on the federal return.) I invite readers to contact their legislators on this issue. SEN. KEVIN G. MILLER 26th District Harrisonburg Computers a danger To the editor: I was sorry to see the enthusiasm the so-called “gift” of computers by the electric company to the Rappahannock school system generated in your editorial. Seymour Papert, the MIT genius who designed the computer language LOGO, has warned of the potential danger to children who are taught to use computers, feeling that it can impede normal relationships with adults and other children. He said that “throwing children and computers together without understanding what is going on is playing with fire.” The Bible in Revelations says that the false prophet will speak “as a dragon,” and will eventually control the economy to such a degree that “no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark ... of the beast.” And it is a fact that the internal digital language of computers - the binomial system of zeroes and ones - was derived from Libnitz from the yang and yin lines of the I Ching, an ancient Chinese oracle which was said to be created by the first emperor of China, Fu Hsi. . . who was, according to the myth, a dragon! In essence, the Unit Price Code, the pin-striped bar-code on nearly all consumer items, and the I Ching hexagrams are alike. And many others have seen the danger in an economy using the UPC “mark of the beast,” seeing it as a forerunner of the Revelations prophecy. The UPC is also dragon words. Phillip G. Zimbardo, a professor of psychology at Stanford, writing on “Hackers Syndrome” - the tendency to get very involved in computers - says that “It has been shown to be a central agent in the etiology of depression, paranoia, schiz- ophrenia, rape, suicide, mass murder, and a wide variety of disease states.” He says that “there is no dearth of research, anecdotes, and observations demonstrating the pervasiveness of the disorder.” It is interesting too that LOGO (Word of the Dragon) is being pushed in the schools at the same time that Logos (Word of God) is being expelled! The same chapter in Revelations speaks of the “seat” of the dragon; and the only real correlation I have ever come across is the seat of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, which is called the “Dragon Throne.” Japan is, of course, our mjyor competitor in the race for Artificial Intelligence .. . super computers like HAL in the movie 2001. The same prophecy says, “The image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast (to be) killed.” The false prophecy of a high-tech future promises that its “wizards” will deliver many modem “miracles.” And already, even here in Rappahannock County, we see an eroding of worship of God now that by lay we cannot worship in any “place’’ except the already established churches, without the permission of a county board. And this used to be a free land. In Habakkuk it says, “Woe to him that sayeth ... to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.” The micro-processer, the “soul” of all teaching computers, is made of quartz - a dumb stone. The quartz is refined into silicon, grown into crystals, sliced microthin, engraved with electronic circuitry, stacked, and aluminum (a silver-colored metal) is then forced into the etchings as a conductor, then the chip is bound with actual gold, wired, and that’s all. Habakkuk also speaks of graven images, calling them “teachers of lies. ” Many people in Rappahannock know that these Bible prophecies are coming true in these times which are at hand - others understand that the present age (including its last gasp, high-tech vision) is dying while a New Age is dawning. They ought to know that the Christ-like values are human, low-tech values: faith, hope, love! And they ought to also heed what the experts say about the psychological and moral evil apt to be created by these machines. PETER B. HOLLEY Boston

oen. Miller to hold meeting Senator Kevin Miller will hold a public meeting Jan. 9 from 9 to 9:45 a.m. in the Rappahannock County courthouse to give area citizens the opportunity to discuss issues of concern prior to the 1987 session of the Virginia General Assembly which will convene on Jan. 14. A major area of legislative activity will involve changes in the state income tax laws to prevent another large tax increase following Governor Baliles’ whopping tax increase (more than $400 million per year) for “critical” transportation needs. Some of the proposed changes that Senator Miller intends to support include: • Increasing the personal exemp tion • Increasing the standard deduction • Increasing the level of income that will be taxed at the maximum rate. In addition to these changes that have already been introduced, Senator Miller plans to introduce legislation that will index the cost basis of assets sold if the assets have been held over a period of years. This will prevent having to pay tax if the sales price is less than cost basis adjusted for inflation. If you would like to discuss this or another state issue, you are urged to attend this public meeting or contact Senator Miller by mail to express your views. Warner, Reagan discuss agenda Virginia Senator John Warner joined with the leadership of the Senate and House of Representatives in a meeting with President Reagan recently. According to Sen. Warner, a range of issfces was discussed, as was the President’s agenda for the 100th Congress, which convened Jan. 6. Following the meeting, Sen. Warner issued the following statement: “The Senate Republican and House leaders met with the President on the subject of the State of the Union message that he is now preparing to deliver Jan. 27. “There was a very free-flowing discussion and the President said that his first priority is to continue to cut back federal spending and send up a budget that reaches the $108 billion limit on next year’s deficit under Gramm-Rudman./ The President indicated that his budget would include a three percent real growth increase in defense. “We then turned as a group to specific pieces of legislation and urged the President to accept a clean water bill, to promptly get a highway bill passed, and also to turn our attention to some type of legislation to take care of catastrophic health problems facing many families that are literally being financially wiped out. "Additionally, we plan to take a look at the. very large corporate formers who are making a great deal of money under the farm bill. We want to see*‘-what can be done to eliminate that situation. “We also discussed the need for trade legislation and helping our workers who have been dislocated from their jobs because of unfair trade competition."

They excitedly summonded Mr. Corker, father of one the youngsters, who could hardly believe the three and a half foot snake was real. Conjecture is that the reptile crawled out of a groundhog hole and froze to death. Tracks in the snow toward a hole nearby substantiated the theory.

On Dec. 15, while making my run on the school bus around the Gid Brown Hollow (smiling to myself as I quite often do), the Lord told me that He wanted me to have some Love Trees at the service for the senior citizens who would be in attendance there. I went home and jotted down some names of people that I felt would want to share this Christmas r love with us. After doing that, I got busy on the phone to neighbors and fellow church members. I also went to the elementary school, and spoke with the cafeteria staff and some of the teachers. As I spqke-sWith each person I would onlysay.^need a dollar for Christmas.” Not one person said no, and only two asked for a reason (and both contributed). The Lord’s request was accomplished. Through donations from those whom I asked to help by contributing one dollar, we gave out seven Love Trees, eight poinsettias, four envelopes containing donations and one fruit basket. We wish to thank those people who made the expressions of Christmas love possible. May God forever bless each one of you.

No museum can offer a winter landscape to rival God’s own etching. The works of the Divine Artist not only bring us beauty, peace and inspiration. They teach us fundamental lessons for every-day living. The love so evident in nature's beauty is a love we can all share. The orderliness of creation inspires unity, trust, brotherhood. For all our spiritual searching you and I cannot match the touch of the Almighty. But following lines He has drawn for us—perhaps one day our human scene will look more like something God etched.

Water only when the soil is dry to the touch, or when the foliage of largeleaved plants is slightly drooping. Try to avoid splattering or splashing the leaves. • Feeding houseplants, except where you’re deliberately forcing, shohld be kept to a rainiipum. Most plant growth Is noW'af its lowest, and food needs are correspondingly ^ minimal. • House plants and holiday gift plants should not be placed on top of the television. It is too warm a location and in most homes too far from windows to provide adequate light. • Thin leaved plants seem most sensitive to transplant shock. If a plant wilts after repotting, encase the entire plant in a plastic bag. Twist the bag shut and punch two or three holes in it. Allow the plant to recuperate in this protected environment for two or three days. Resist the urge to water a wilted plant if the soil is moist. • If you potted bulbs of daffodils, crocus, tulips, or hyacinths in fall, bring them indoors now to force them into bloom. Place pots in a window that receives direct sunlight for at least a few hours each days. Allow soil to dry partially between each watering. • For an interesting ornamental plant and a culinary addition, buy a plump unshriveled ginger root at the grocery store and plant in a light sandy soil just under the surface in a 6-inch to 8-inch pot. Place in a warm sunny window and keep damp until shoots appear. Increase water and fertilize monthly with high phosphorus. Harvest your crop in about 8 months, saving a piece to replant. • Fluorescent tubes lose intensity with age. If you are using quite a few fluorescent lamps, change a few tubes at a time to avoid plant damage by the sudden increase in light intensity. • If you are considering installing supplemental lighting for your indoor plants, the 48 inch, 40 watt fixture with two fluorescent tubes is the industry standard. Spare parts are readily available and high production assures lower costs for 48 inch than for other size tubes. Use one cool white and one warm white tube to obtain a light mix most beneficial to plants. • Bring house plants which normally thrive on the north side of the house to east windows, while allowing the plants from the east more sun on the south. Also, give the plants that usually are set on tables away from direct light a short midwinter visit to one of the less exposed windowsills. When extremely cold nights prevail, draw the window shades at night or slip lengths of protective cardboard between plants and the glass. Move the tenderest plants away from the window panes on the coldest nights. • Recycle your holiday decorations. Greenery used in ornaments can be used again in the garden. Wreaths and branches stripped from Christmas trees make excellent mulch for protecting newly planted ornamentals. Remove the material in the spring and compost it. • On warm days, check if any perennials have been heaved by freezing and thawing of soil. Firmly press down any which have lifted and cover with at least two inches of organic mulch. • Every two or three years it is best to repot amaryllis bulbs in fresh medium and increase the pot size if necessary. If offsets are present, you may pot them individually. Immature bulbs generally require two to three years to reach bloom size. • For tips on being a smart mailorder shopper and a list of 95 mailorder nurseries, send a self-addressed business sized envelope with 37 cents postage to The Complete Guide to Gardening by Mail, Mail Order Association of Nurserymen Inc., 210 Cartwright Blvd., Massapequa, N. Y. 11762. • Wood ashes will raise soil pH. Use them only if the pH is under 7.0 based on a soil test. The safe rate of wood ash application to lawn or gardens is 15-20 lbs. per 1000 square feet per year (approximately a 5 gallon pail). • The 1986 edition of the American Rose Society’s Handbook for Selecting Roses is now available.

Moments before, six guests had left the stone formhouse, on the Fodderstack Road outside Washington, to celebrate the New Year at Rappahannock’s famous Inn at Little Washington. Panic struck, according to host Phil Irwin. Heat, water, lights, kitchen appliances — all became inoperable at the worst possible time. Mr. Irwin soon verified that all the house fuses were intact. Then he was struck with the frightening thought, “Would help be available on New Year’s Eve?” As his wife Florence busied herself lighting candles throughout the main floor, Mr. Irwin dialed Potomac-Edison’s emergency number. The first attempt resulted in a disappointing recorded message stating that the utility office was closed until Friday morning. Then, searching further, Mr. Irwin located another number in Hagerstown, Md., where a live voice promised that help would soon be on the way. With doubts flooding his mind, Mr. Irwin waited. Even if a repair crew were.to be dispatched, could a huge transformer, high on a utility pole, be replaced in the dark of night on a holiday? His fears were assauged as the headlights of a utility truck, carrying two expert linesmen from Madison, broke through the darkness. Working with a pulley assembly and emergency lights, the linesmen were indeed able to replace the defective transformer. Power was restored. Shortly after the ballcame down at midnight in Times Square, a transformer came down at Caledonia Farm, replaced by a new and heavier one. The truck left for Madison just five minutes before the guests returned from the Inn. And the guests? They all had a wonderful time and never knew what real excitement they had missed, Mr. Irwin said. He added, “Thanks to the highly responsive service department of Potomac-Edison, a near disaster was averted and the amenities offered by Caledonia Farm, which are very dependent on electricity, were once again available to its guests.” Wakefield PSAT scores ‘best ever’ Along with the report that Wakefield School had the highest National Merit Semi-Finalist percentage of any school, public or private, in Virginia during the 1985-86 school year, a Wakefield spokesman reported that the 1986-87 PSAT scores received recently are the “best ever.” Headmaster William Lynn said that a total of 18 students surpassed the qualifying index of 176. These stqdent8 represent the top five percent in the nation on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Hferit Qualifying Test. Final results of the testing for this school year will be announced in 1987. Finalists and semi-finalists become eligible for special college scholarships and grants. Aurora trio appears at CHS The five-county Community Concert Association will welcome the New Year with the presentation of the Aurora Trio on Sunday, Jan. 11, at 3 p.m. in the auditorium of the Culpeper County High School.

In memory of my beloved husband, Alvin L. Atkins, who went to be with Jesus, two years ago, January 9,1985. The call came two years ago today, God sent his angel and carried you away. I loved you, but God loved you best, Took you to Heaven to give you rest. God watched you as you suffered, He knew you had had your share He gently closed your beautiful eyes, And took you into His care. No one but Jesus knows the heartaches I bear. For our lives together, no longer we share. Daily I gaze at your picture and can trarjg, All the kindness in your face. I thank God for a kind, loving soul, You surely possessed a heart of gold. $o treasure him dear Lord in your garden of rest For when on earth, he was one of the best. You loved your Bible that taught Jesus is the Way, and following Him, I will meet you someday, I loved you then, I love you still. Forget you, NO, I never will.

Deer (Continued from Page 3) Deer do more than wreak havoc in orchards, Mr. Estes said, reminding his fellow board members of accidents caused by the movement of the nocturnal animals on country roads. “Deer represent a danger to motorists . . . There are too many deer. They present a hazard to people using the highways.” Supervisor Miller, hefting a book from a recent symposium on Lyme disease, noted that the deer ticks which carry the disease proliferate in an over-large deer population. Incidence had been confined primarily to New England, where in one Connecticut community, 24 percent of the residents on a single road were infected, the outbreak attributed to the area’s high deer population, Mr. Miller said. ‘The disease is heading south, he warned. Referring to a publication from the West Virginia Extension Service, Mr. Miller reported that, left alone, a deer population will increase by 40 percent every year. If bucks only are harvested, the population will climb by 25 percent, he said. ‘The one way to control the deer population is through hunters harvesting doe,” Mr. Miller stressed. “The herd has a quick recovefy ability if too many doe are shot one year. It’s no problem to adjust (the bag limit) the following year.” “I’d like to clean up hunting in Rappahannock County,” reaffirmed Supervisor Lane. Road hunters, trespassers and other hoodlums in the field and forest “are giving all - ' hunters a bad name,” he said. “That’s another issue,” Supervisor Miller maintained. Reporting that he has counted 27 doe in a single herd in one local orchard, Mr. Estes seconded the motion to seek an increase to three in the bag limit here, with one required to be a doe and doe allowed to be taken throughout the season. “I’d like to see the seasons equalized east and west of the Blue 4 Ridge,” interjected Supervisor Lane, suggesting that be part of the request to the Game Commission. After the two-week season closes on the other side of the mountains, hunters pour into Rappahannock, “littering our roads, shooting at our houses and our back yards,” the supervisor complained. If the deer population is controlled by the bag limit and not the length of the season, then hunting should be allowed for the same time period statewide, he argued. But the rest of the board balked at adding Mr. Lane’s proposal to the county's petition to the game commission, some fearing that equalization could mean a shorter season here and others rejecting the idea of telling other localities what the length of their hunting season should be. With no amendments to Mr. Miller’s motion, it carried, 4-1, with Supervisor Henry opposed. In other action, the board: • Requested the Highway Department to schedule a public hearing on adding Route 231 to Virginia’s system of scenic and historic byways. • Tabled again a proposal from building inspector Emil Smet to institute a licensing program for mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractors. • Agreed to set up a meeting with resident engineer Don Askew to present petitions from road users and local residents requesting improvements to Route 522 between Chester Gap and Huntly. • Tabled adoption of rules of procedure for board meetings. • Elected Hubert Gilkey chairman and Charles Estes vice-chairman. Landfill (Continued from Page 1) dywine loam and Culpeper loam in the area, all soil types which “may be suitable” for a landfill. The committee determined that a landfill on the Stover property would “probably have no visual impact at all.” Ultimate use of the site could be a park or recreation area. If this property is used as a landfill, the evaluators note, additional trash collection sites may have to be provided at other locations in the county. But on the plus side, they point out that timber from the property could be sold. According to the evaluation form, the owners arp asking $210,000 for the 99.75 acres. However, when the board returned to open meeting following a long executive session, Supervisor A1 Henry, a real estate agent and appraiser, corrected that figure to $199,500. In executive sesssion, the board met with engineer Leonard Joyce, the consultant who is investigating out-of-the-county trash disposal options. Following an hour and a half behind closed doors, Chairman Gilkey reported that no action had been taken. The supervisors recessed Monday’s meeting, agreeing to wait for further information from Mr. Joyce before authorizing additional testing on the Stover property. Access (Continu^EFfrom Page 1) sumers an estimated $6.8 billion. The issue, he said, of substantial discounts offered by AT&T’s competitors has “pretty much disappeared. If you look, and compare - over the same period our competitors’ rates have increased. ” Mr. Sangster added that, at divestiture, AT&T’s intrastate (within Virginia) rates dropped 15 percent. “We hope that sometime in the near future we can make a further reduction in those rates.” AT&T also announced plans for discount calling to apply on five additional holidays: Memorial Day, President’s Day, Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day and Martin Luther King Day. Currently, discounted rates apply on New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. AT&T structures its rates based on the mileage covered by each call, with calls during weekday business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) charged the full rate. Calls placed during evening hours (5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday and Sunday) receive a 38 percent discount. The nighttime rate, a 63 percent discount, applies from 11 p.m. until 8 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and from Friday at 11 p.m. to Sunday at 5 p.m. For callers who make a large number of off-peak (evening and nighttime) interstate calls, AT&T offers its Reach Out America plan, which features a flat rate on calls made during the nighttime rate period. Subscribers pay a flat monthly charge of $8.40 for the first hour of calling. Additional hours are billed at the rate of $7.55, pro-rated by the full minute of usage. For a $9.50 monthly charge, subscribers can get an additional 15 percent discount on top of the 38 percent reduction for all evening calls. Due to the rate decreases, Reach Out America subscribers will see a 6.3 percent reduction in the monthly charge effective immediately. Pro-Virginia is a similar service designed for high-volume intrastate callers, said Mr. Sangster. Subscribers pay a flat rate and receive a flat discount for all calls within Virginia. Pro-America and Pro-America II and III are plans designed primarily for high-volume interstate business callers. The plans also feature flat rate pay schedules and a flat rate discount for all calls. Pro-America benefits businesses with seven to 25 hours of long-distance calling per month, while the Pro-America II and III plans are designed for users with between 25 and 1000 hours of calls per month. In addition, AT&T offers WATS and “800” number service, designed for high-volume outgoing or incoming business use. Users of those service will see a 4.6 percent reduction in rates, as well as a restructuring of the services as a result of AT&T’s latest price cuts. There are two types of calling cards available for AT&T custom yCo^.BLE// - nuggetcFof truth 4 By REV. ROBERT i lUNPHY 1 IS HEALING FOR ALL? 2 Is it God's will to heal you today? , 2 The Bible says in Heb. 13:8 that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and we see in many places in 1 the Bible where Jesus healed all that! came to Him. I am going to give you , some of the scriptures. Please study i them. The word says to meditate on ' them day and night. Proverbs 4:20-1 23; Joshua 1:8-9. Now meditate on \ Jesus and His wondrous works. Matt. 4:23; 8:3 & 16; 9:35; 12:13 & 22;! 14:36; 15:30; 17:18; 19:2; 21:14. In' Mark, 1:31; 10:52. In Luke 7;21; 13:13; 17:14; 22:51. In John 4:50;; 5:9; 9:6. No one can argue with ail the truths. I want to show you one scripture i in particular. Mark 1:40, the leper that; came to Jesus and said. Lord you can 5 heal me if you will, Jesus said, I will,1 4 be thou cleansed, and he was. Jesus i J did away with the word IF. You come | 2 to Jesus like this man did. First he fell Son his knees and worshiped Him. g This man had heard Jesus preach the 4 full Gospel of God. He knew who Je- 2 Jsus was and His power. The question * # was. are you willing to heal me? JeJ sus said YES. In I Peter 2:24, Jesus ' said YES to your healing. All you I have to do is say Amen. That means ; “so be it”. It is settled in God’s heart \ and to get it settled in your heart, you must go to a church that preaches < 2 and teaches it. Rom. 10:17 says, j “Faith comes by hearing and hearing 2 by the Word of God. ” 4 We teach the whole truth of God1 at Family Worship Center. We have J seen many miracles done by the' power of the Holy Ghost. We preach , and teach God's Word. If you have J need for God's full gospel in your life, i we are sent here to help you.

One is the traditional calling card, used for making calls from a phone to be billed to a home or business account. The second is AT&T’s “Call Me” card, designed, said Mr. Sangster, for customers who may, for example, have a child at college. The card allows the cardholder to call collect at direct-dial rates, but only to the number from which the card is issued. ITT Longer Distance Service International Telephone and Telegraph Co. advertises that its “all-terrestrial system offers better transmission quality than satellite systems,” according to Jay Stuck, manager of public information for ITT. The ITT system relies on microwave, fiberoptic and ground lines for carrying long-distance calls over its network. Mr. Stuck explained that the terrestrial system eliminates the echo, static and delay sometimes associated with satellite-transmitted calls. In addition, there is no monthly service charge to ITT Longer Distance users, no monthly minimum billing, and no sign-up fee. Also, ITT offers a free travel card which will access the ITT network from about 100 cities. Charges will be billed to the customer’s home or business account. Like AT&T, ITT bills at a base rate for daytime (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) calls, which is keyed to the mileage covered by the call. Its evening (6 to 11 p.m. weekdays and Sunday) rate is 40 percent off the daytime base; nighttime (11 p.m. to 8 a.m. every day, 11 p.m. Friday to 5 p.m. Sunday) is a 60 percent reduction from the base rate. In addition, ITT offers a “Niteline” service, ’Ideal for high-volume off peak users, such as home computer buffs,” said Mr. Stuck. That service bills at a flat rate of $11.95 for the first hour per month, then $2.50 for each 15 minutes thereafter. The charge jumps to 35 cents per minute for daytime calls. ITT also offers a volume discount. For bills between $15 and $74.99, there is a two percent discount; between $75 and $199 a five percent discount; and more than $200 in monthly charges rates a 10 percent discount. Although ITT does not have operators available for immediate credit for wrong numbers, Mr. Stuck said that any disputed call which appears on the bill should be circled and the balance paid. The company does have a customer service department with a toll-free 800 number for customers with disputed calls, or other service problems or questions. That department is open from 8 a.m. until midnight, Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. ITT Business Services also offers several services geared to bumness customers. There is a “Preferred” calling card, which uses a special number to access 70 cities in the United States. The card has a magnetic strip which can be read by credit card phones found in many airports and train terminals. Calls placed through the preferred card are billed at six second intervals, rather than the whole minute billing used for regular ITT customers. The card is designed for business travellers who spend more than $60 per month for calls outside the office. There is a one dollar signup fee for the card, and a 50 cent charge for each 950 number called. Users of regular ITT calling cards must dial a local access number, the number which they wish to call, and finally the credit card number. ITT also offers WATS line service for high-volume business users, as well as private, dedicated lines for point-to-point communication. MCI Dial “1” Long Distance MCI Communications Corp. says that its “state of the art” fiberoptic, satellite and microwave network offers high-quality transmission, while offering savings of from “five to 35 percent versus AT&T’s high rates.” The company has recently invested $4 billion in “network enhancements and expansion.” Like its long distance competitors, MCI bills its calls based on the time of day and the distance of the call. MCI has no monthly fee or minimum charges, and the company also offers a calling card for billing to a home or business while travelling. MCI has a volume discount based on monthly charges and time that the call was placed. That discount begins with bills of $20. From $20 to $99 there is a two percent discount for both daytime and evenings calls. From $100 to $199, the discount jumps to 4.5 percent for daytime calls, and two percent for evening. For monthly charges of more than $200, the discount for daytime calls rises to six percent, while remaining at two percent for evening calls. For business customers, MCI offers a range of services. Accounting codes, which will tie each call to a particular user, are available for a five dollar per month charge. Also available are WATS and PRISM services for businesses with highvolume needs which may be targeted geographically, or need a greater degree of cost-control. In addition, MCI offers dedicated lines for transmission of voice, data or video information between specific points. The lines are available in either analog or digital modes. MCI offers an 800 customer service number for questions about billing, which may be credited through that number. The customer service number will also handle other customer questions or problems. For more information For those potential customers with questions about Specific services, or who desire more information about a particular company, toll-free 800 numbers have been set up by all three companies.

MI think athletics in this whole country are out of proportion to the place they should have in society,” continued Mr. Miller, emphasizing that he epjoys sports as much as anybody does. "But Virginia Tech is spending a half million dollars to get rid of a football coach. That’s crazy!” The new gymnasium will cost county taxpayers $75,000 more per year than the academic portion of the capital outlay project, he said. “That’s not the proper priority.” “We don’t build much in Rappahannock County,” acknowledged Supervisor Nelson Lane. He recalled that, as a member of the School Board, he’d been opposed to building new administrative offices until, first, the highway department condemned the old bus shop and, second, the administration was evicted “in spirit, if not in actuality,” from its former offices in Sperryville. Then, noted Mr. Lane, he led the effort that resulted in construction of the new pre-engineered building that houses both offices and bus garage. Architects hired for the work initially came up with a design that would have cost $500,000, according to the Stonewall-Hawthorne supervisor. “We brought it in for $127,000 . . . Pre-engineered buildings have quite an economy.” “I support the building program,” Mr. Lane continued. “But it’s a little rich for what I think we can do at this time.” He recalled that he had formerly endorsed the expansion project, when the gymnasium was to be pre-engineered steel. “I became an opponent when the Board of Supervisors went for brick and mortar ... At that point, I fell out of love #ith this project.” The design should be changed back to a prefabricated gym, a move that would result in a savings of 46 to 60 percent, Mr. Lane concluded. “If there was time to do that, I would consider Nelson's proposal,” Mr. Miller replied. “I think there is time ... I think he (Superintendent of Schools Robert Estabrook) is capable of making that work,” Supervisor Lane contended. With no further comments from his fellow board members, Chairman Gilkey called for the question. Supervisors Gilkey, Estes, Miller and Henry gave “thumbs up” to the $1.5 million RCHS capital outlay project; Supervisor Lane gave “thumbs down.” “I’m truly delighted,” said Chairman Beverly Massie of the approval for the building program. “I’ve worked on three capital outlay committees since 1975,” noted the 14- year veteran of the School Board. “I’m sorry it wasn’t done sooner but I’m so very glad that it’s getting underway now . . . Maybe we’ll be ahead of the game when the next onslaught of children enters our schools... I believe in public education and I believe we need a curriculum in our public schools to prepare our children to go on to college or fields of work and compete successfully in either.” After spending countless hours at board meetings pushing for educational expenditures and speaking in favor of capital outlay for the high school, Mrs. Massie was missing from the courtroom for Monday’s vote. Hunters had broken through the fences at the Massies’ Meadowbrook Farm, knocking down 13 sections of boards and freeing a score of calves. Beverly Manaio spent the morning helping to round up the escapees.

We have new candidates we have to consider,” he said, adding that A1 Henry would best represent him. With no other speakers to come forward, Chairman Gilkey placed Butch Zindel’s name in nomination. “While we’re nominating, I’d like to nominate A1 Henry,” countered Supervisor Lane. “I’ll second Mr. Henry’s nomination,” added Supervisor Miller. “Call for the question on Mr. Henry’s nomination,” Supervisor Estes continued. With a three to one vote, Chairman Gilkey alone in opposition, Mr. Henry was named supervisor from WHY WAIT FOR WEEKS? Get an eye examination and your glasses in a couple of hours.
