Just after noon on Saturday, Amissville Co. 3, along with companies from Culpeper and Fauquier counties, was called to Antiques by George on Rt. 211 at the intersection of Rt.621 in Culpeper County. The location is just over the Rappahannock County line, and the Amissville company runs calls in that area as part of a mutual aid agreement with Culpeper and Fauquier. The fire gutted the rear of the building and caused serious damage to the front of the building as well. There were no injuries. Two minor fires were reported Saturday afternoon; a chimney fire at the Piney River Campground and a dumpster fire at the Scrabble dump. Washington, Sperryville, Amissville and Castleton responded to those calls. At about 12:45 a.m. Sunday, a fire was reported at the Asher Lohraan residence, on Rt. 522 south of Woodville. When firefighters from Sperryville arrived, they found the back of the house fully involved, according to Chief Ricky Lillard. The house, an old log cabin, presented problems for the volunteers. It had burned for some time before it was seen by a neighbor, and the fire had spread inside the walls, making it difficult to suppress the flames. The Lohmans, who live in Arlington, were not at home at the time. BETHANY HOUSE IN HUNTLY was destroyed by fire early Sunday morning. An electrical malfunction is the suspected cause, according to Bill Pivamik, the retreat’s co-administrator. The rear of the house was destroyed and the inside of the front gutted before the fire was brought under control by firefighters from the Sperryville, Castleton and Salem Volunteer Fire Departments. They remained on the scene until almost dawn Sunday. No one was injured in the blaze. An electrical malfunction is suspected as the cause. As the volunteers struggled to bring the Woodville fire under con trol, another fire was reported at Bethany House in Huntly. The old manor house, built in the last century, was also fully involved when the first trucks arrived, said Flint Hill Fire Chief Frank Huff. “It must have been burning for some time,” added Bethany House’s administrator Bill Pivamik, whose wife Barbara noticed a glow from the flames burning inside the front of the structure. The house, which is used as a retreat by the Catholic Di ocese of Arlington, was not occupied last weekend. The Pivamiks, who maintain the property for the church, live in an adjacent-house behind the main house. Mr. Pivamik said that normally 20 to 30 people would be staying in the house for the weekend. “By the grace of God,” his wife added, “no one was using the house this weekend.” (Continued on Page 12) By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer After winning approval from the Board of Supervisors for the high school building program, the Rappahannock School Board last week approved posting of bids for the $1.5 million construction project. The advertisement will appear in the Harrisonburg NewsRecord, the Charlottesville Daily Progress, the Winchester Star and the Rappahannock News, the choice of newspapers dictated by an effort to involve -focal contractors in the project, according to Superintendent of Schools Robert Estabrook. Architects from Smithey and Boynton will meet with prospec tive bidders for an on-site conference on Tuesday, Feb. 10. Bids for the work - a combination of new and remodeled space centering on a new gymnasium - are due at the School Board office by 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 18, with opening set for the following afternoon. That evening, the School Board will review the offers with the architects. In the bids, the contractors will specifiy a completion date. “The successful bidder will have to live by that date,” Mr. Estabrook said, reporting that the architects estimated 12-14 months. (Continued on Page 12) Septage contract finalized; agreement near on sludge has found a sweet smelling solution to the stinky problem of what to do with the septage and sludge from Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant. A Culpeper waste hauling company with the unlikely name of Rosebud has agreed to pump, haul and dispose of the septage from the individual septic tanks that are part of the village’s collection and treatment system. The 165 tanks, each with a capacity of 1,000 gallons, will be emptied on a three-year cycle, with a third of the units pumped every year. The contract, with charges of $70 per 1,000 gallons, has been drafted and copies will be sent to Authority members for a final review, Bill Strider told the WSA last Thursday. Mr. Strider, the executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission who state grants awarded for construction of SperryviUe’s sewer system, noted that Rosebud prefers to haul the septage in January, February and March, the company’s slow times. He suggested that the pumping begin this winter and noted that a few tanks will have to be emptied more often than every three years. “It will be hard to tell in the first cycle,” he noted, adding that Rosebud will submit a pumping schedule 30 days prior to beginning and will be on call for pumping at other times. Mr. Strider reported that he’s still negotiating for disposal of the sludge generated by the sewage treatment plant. Under consideration is a joint contract with Rosebud and Recyc Systems in Remington.

THE WSA HAS THREATENED to take legal action force Alson Atkins, the owner of this house and stable on Rt. 211 in Sperryville, to hook up to the town’s sewer system. WSA tackles holdout to hook-up By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority took the first step last week towards requiring the lone holdout to connect to the new Sperryville sewer system, requesting the Health Department to run a dye test to determine if Alson Atkins’ septic field is functioning properly. For at least two decades, malfunctioning septic fields in Sperryville’s flood plain soils dumped raw sewage into the Thornton River, which flows through the village’s back yards. The pollution led to Sperryville’s designation as the state’s fifth most serious health hazard and the concurrent award of $2 million in state and federal grants for construction of a sewer system to clean up the mess. Local ordinances, adopted persuant to grant regulations, require all households and businesses within the Sperryville service district to connect to the system. The only exception to this mandate comes through Health Department certification that an existing septic field is adequately handling waste disposal. Mr. Atkins, who maintains both a residence and Rainbow Trails Riding Stable with a score of horses right on the river, has refused to either hook on to the sewer system or provide verification that his septic field is functional. “We have the problem solved - except for one man who refuses to cooperate,” WSA member Carson Johnson told Charles Shepherd, the Health Department’s district sanitation manager, at last Thursday’s meeting. System users are now getting their $12.85 monthly bills for (Continued on Page 5) Town council will consider business lax By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Faced with opposition by local restaurants to its proposed 4 percent meals tax, the Washington Town Council agreed last Wednesday to consider another solution to the town’s funding crisis. David Dickey, attorney for Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, proprietors of The Inn at Little Washington, proposed that the town consider the adoption of an across-the-board business and professional services tax rather than the meals tax, which would generate revenue from only three sources: The Inn, The Black Kettle and Brambles Cafe. Mr. Dickey came to the meeting with copies of a similar ordinance which he had drafted, and was subsequently adopted, by Greene County in 1984. Mr. Dickey was Greene County’s attorney at the time. His alternative has as its structure a five-tiered tax, which divides businesses into different categories based on the revenue realized by each business as a percentage of its gross income. Basically, Mr. Dickey explained, the ordinance says that doctors and lawyers, for example, keep a larger percentage of their gross income than does a grocery store. Therefore, doc tors and lawyers would be taxed at a higher rate than would grocery stores. The highest tax rate would apply to the “Financial, real estate and professional services” category, which includes real estate agents, attorneys, banks and finance companies, architects, engineers and doctors. Another tax schedule, with lower rates, would apply to “Repair, personal, business and other services.” Businesses defined under that category would include repair shops of any kind, as well as “service rendered for compensation, either upon or for persons, animals or personal effects . . . (or) to any business, trade, occupation or governmental agency...” A list of that category included in the Greene County ordinance lists everything from “addressing letters or envelopes” to “welding shops.” Retail merchants comprise the third category of the Greene County ordinance, with a separate rate structure. Retail merchants are defined as “any merchant who sells to others for use only and not for resale.” Another list specifies businesses ranging from “aircraft or aircraft parts” to “workmen's clothing” under the retail merchants category. (Continued on Page 12) Council backs ARB By LOU HATTER to*W*MMck Nm StaffWriter The Town of Washington Architectural Review Board's repermit for the construction of a vinyl-covered chain-link fence between the rear parking lot of The Inn at Little Washington and Mrs. Irving Sisk’s house was affirmed by Town Council at its meeting last Wednesday evening. Installation of the fence was begun by Peter Kreyling, contractor for The Inn, before he realized that a permit was required for its construction. He applied for a certificate of appropriateness at the ARB’s Nov. 20 meeting. The request was denied by a unanimous vote of the board’s three members (Carol Miller, Jim Thomasson and Evelyn Willis). The reason cited was the historic district ordinance’s requirement that any materials used in new construction within the historic district and in public view be appropriate to the period dating ftom the town’s founding to 1900. Vinyl-covered chain-link fence was deemed by the board to be inappropriate to that time period. The ARB informed Mr. Kreyling at that meeting that the partially completed fence would nave to be tom down. In the two months since, council was informed, the fence pi net someone has completed the installation. At the ARB's November meeting, Mr. Kreyling told the board that Patrick O’Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, owners of The Inn, were installing the fence at the request of Mrs. Sisk, who wanted a fence which would not require maintenance, and which would match existing fence at the rear of her property. The existing fence is a problem, agreed town attorney Frank Reynolds. "There are things all over town which do not fit with ARB guidelines. But that doesn’t keep the ARB and the council from saying that ’From now on we will enforce certain standards.’ That (existing) fence on the property creates a problem, but it doesn’t create the right to put more fence up.” Mr. Reynolds added that since the fence is not actually on The Inn’s property, the violation could be construed in one of two ways: (1) That the fact that it has (Continued on Page 5) ‘No way’ new landfill can be approved before old site closes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Come July 1 - at the latest - it looks like Rappahannock will be without a sanitary landfill. And if the cavalry is going to come to the rescue at the last minute, it may have to be with a contract for out-of - county disposal of the solid waste generated here, at least as an interim solution to the trash dilemma. Last summer, with remaining capacity at the old dump measured in days, Robert Forman, the district director for the state’s Division of Solid Waste Management, engineered an emergency extension to allow waste disposal at the privately owned and operated Clarke site to continue until July 1, 1987. His intervention came with the warning to the Board of Supervisors that another means of handling the county’s trash would have to be arranged by that deadline. In September, the Lee Partnership applied for a permit to operate a sanitary landfill on 128 acres on the Fodderstack Road just beyond the town limits of Washington, and despite overwhelming opposition from neighboring landowners and '•3 the Washington Town Council, the Board of Supervisors endorsed the application. Following Mr. Forman’s preliminary approval of the site, the board hired an engineering firm to conduct hydrological and geological studies, prepare a site plan, devise a pollution monitoring system, develop erosion controls and ftllfill additional requirements in the state’s landfill permitting process. The reports, plans and studies compiled by the engineers must be reviewed and approved by the Division of Solid Waste Management offices in Richmond; only then is a permit issued. Mr. Forman has said repeatedly that this approval process - conducted as of July 1 of last year by the new Virginia Department of Natural Resources, rather than the Health Department - takes at least eight months. As of last Friday, the package from the engineers had not yet been received. “If they haven’t gotten them in by now, there’s no way they can get a permit by July 1,” Mr. Forman said. “Those reports shnnld (Continued on Page 12)

Two aides sought in special education plan The Rappahannock School Board last week approved a special education support services plan which calls for two new positions: one instructional aide for multihandicapped students atjthe high school and a second aide for developmentally delayed preschoolers at the elementary school. / The $14,700 for their salary — plus $15,626 for instructional materials, two Apple computers and physical and occupational therapy for handicapped students also included in Hie 1987-88 plan - will come from the state, according to Superintendent of Schools Robert Estabrook. “This money is supplemental,” he said, noting that approval of the plim obligates neither the School Board nor the Board of Supervisors to following through with establishment of the positions next year. However, if the plan isn’t implemented, the money won’t be forthcoming, he pointed out. “And without this plan, we would still have to provide the services it calls for but without help from the state in paying for them,” Mr. Estabrook said. Currently, 12 pre-schoolers receive services through the combination home-based/school-based program provided by early childhood development specialist Patty Hoettinger. Pam Rowe, Rappahannock’s special education supervisor, noted that at least seven of those children will continue in the program next year. For the school-based portion of the program, state regulations call for an aide, Ms. Rowe noted. ’These children are really not labeled as special education children. They’re developmental^ delayed, and hopefully, with this early intervention, they’ll be able to go into a regular kindergarten,” she said. Mrs. Hoettinger spends five half days a week with the 12 youngsters, the limit which can be handled by a single teacher in a home-based program, Ms. Rowe said. “She does most of the developmental thingB at home . . . working one-on-one with the parents” and then brings the children together at school for socialization. “Most of these children receive speech and language services as well,” noted the special education supervisor. Currently, the school system is required to identify, evaluate and place in an appropriate educational program all children, ages 2-21, who a*3-?i^<*Ped ^ ‘‘IW1 education 'attti' related 'services..

"Certainly, we have to educate ALL our children,” Chairman Beverly Massie responded. “But with certain handicaps, the Health Department needs to carry some of the burden ... The Health Department and the Welfare Department need to play a greater role.” “There’s no substitute for early stimulation with these children,” added School Board member Nancy Reeve. “And unfortunately, many parents aren’t aware of the strides they can make with this early stimulation.” Mrs. Massie asked if the school system runs any programs for the parents of handicapped and developmentally delayed youngsters, programs that “bring the parents together so they can learn from one another and share coping skills . . . so they don’t feel so alone. ” “There’s nothing like that offered now, but it’s something we could consider,” Ms. Rowe replied. Maybe the Special Education Advisory Committee could take on Hie organization of such a parent support group, suggested Mrs. Reeve. Board member Paul Nichols asked how much of the total $322,447 spent in 1986-87 for Rappahannock’s special education programs comes from the state. “Between $70,000 and $80,000. The rest is local money,” Ms. Rowe answered. “That’s changed. The state used to pay for the whole thing,” replied the School Board veteran. “When the state increased the basic aid (paid to localities per student), they cut special education by 33 percent,” explained Ms. Rowe. More signs of support “I think we can be very proud of our county right now, not just for approval of the capital outlay for the high school, but for all the support that’s being shown for our educational programs,” said Mrs. Massie. Her remarks were prompted by gifts to both the high school library and athletic program. The first, a check for $200, came from Mrs. Nelson Phelps Lane in memory of former supervisor J.

Eighth grade Panthers even record at 2 Ron Vickers, coach of Rappahannock High School’s eighth-grade boys basketball team, lauded his young charges’ efforts after the Panthers stung Stonewail-J ackson Tuesday night by a score of 41-23. “It’s phenomenal for an eighthgrade team to score 41 points,” Coach Vickers said. “I had three players in double figures, and another with six points,” the coach added, obviously proud of his team’s success. Coach Vickers said that the Panthers “got ahead early and stayed ahead. They worked real good as a team -- taking the ball to the basket, not taking the long shots. The team was real strong throughout the whole game.” He added that in his three years of coaching the eighth grade team, “This is as much talent as I’ve ever had.” The Panthers started the season with a tough loss to Page County in a game played at Page. The score was 32-24. Tony Williams was the high scorer for Rappahannock with 12. In another contest played across the mountain in Page County, the Panthers beat Luray High School in the second game of the season. “The team did real good against those guys,” Coach Vickers said. Rappahannock beat Luray easily, 34-11, shutting out the home team in the third quarter. Again, Tony Williams was the high scorer with 12. In their home opener against William Monroe, the Panthers lost by a 43-28 margin. Coach Vickers explained that “It was a physical game.” Of 25 free throw attempts, the Panthers sunk only six. “If we had made the other 19, we would have won the game,” he added. Once more, Tony Williams topped the scoring with 10. Darrell Norwood contributed seven, while Tony Atkins sunk six points for Rappahannock. Coach Vickers stressed that the eighth grade league, although competitive, is intended primarily to give the young players some experience with organized, league basketball, and affords them a chance to play as a team. It’s really a training ground for those who are planning to go on to junior varsity and varsity play later in high school, he said. “It’s a real good team,” the coach said. “They work well together, and complement each other well. As far as I’m concerned we’re doing real well.” The Panther eighth graders will play a total of 10 games, facing five different schools twice each. Games begin at 4 p.m. In Mr. Vickers’ previous seasons as coach the team has finished with records of 6-2 and 5-4. Captain Muhs receives master9 s Capt. Steven C.

Sheriff Woodward said that emergency responses to several recent calls in the county have been delayed because the call was made to the dispatch centers in Culpeper or Warren counties and had to be relayed to the Rappahannock dispatcher. The emergency number for residents in the 675, 987, 937, 825 and 547 exchanges in Rappahannock County is 987-8525. For Rappahannock County residents in the 635 and 636 exchanges, the emergency number is 635-4488. Sheriff Woodward said that he hopes that Rappahannock County will be added to the 911 system in the near future, but added that at this time dialing the 911 number only delays the response of emergency units.

THURSDAY, JANUARY22,1987 ' Editorial The right move The Washington Town Council deserves commendation for its support of the decision of the town’s Architectural Review Board to deny a certificate of appropriateness for a chain-link fence. It was not an easy decision for the council members, but it was the correct one. As several council members observed, there is no point in having ordinances if they are not enforced. Indeed, in the past, problems have stemmed from alleged capriciousness in the enforcement of ordinances. The present town council has stated that it intends to enforce the town’s ordinances, and do so fairly. Its decision last Wednesday proves that was not an empty promise. The ARB is a state-mandated board - a product of Washington’s designation as a historic district. It is charged with enforcing the standards set forth in the town’s historic district ordinance, enacted in 1985. Its three members serve without pay, and the decisions they reach are not always easy ones. Anyone who has attended the ARB’s meetings has seen them wrestle with the inherent conflict of individual property rights and the restrictions mandated by the historic district ordinance. Usually, the conflict can be resolved to the satisfaction or all parties. As has been pointed out several times in the past months, the essential element in decisions of ALL governmental bodies is fairness and consistency. Only by applying the law blindly .without regard to the individuals.*^, involved, can legil -hallenges be defended. f*'"' The irony, of course, is that sometimes this legal “blindness” creates the appearance of injustice. But the truth is, for better or worse, that justice is indeed blind. That is the cornerstone of our judicial system. The Town of Washington, through its elected representatives, deserves our respect for making a tough, but legally correct, decision. Death proposed for drug dealers By DONALD DEL ROSSO Anmdri Wwwp^in Kich»oud Bf«— RICHMOND — Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest (R-Fauquier/Rappahannock/Clarke/W arren) thinks adults convicted of selling “mqjor mind altering” drugs to minors should be “wiped out.” The House minority leader expects to introduce a bill this week that would mandate the execution of such first-time offenders. “Mqjor mind altering” drugs include heroin, cocaine and crack, he said. Del. Guest said the bill will be referred to the House Courts of Justice Committee where “it might be a shocking idea for them.” In an interview, he warned that Virginia needed to get tougher with drug dealers because Florida and other Gulf states are making it harder for them to do business there. This new assertiveness among such states will force the drug dealers north, Del. Guest insisted. “(That’s why) we better be ready for them and have a message waiting for them when they get here: You mess with our kids, especially, and we’re going to kill you,” he said. A few area legislators interviewed said they agreed that adults convicted of selling hard drugs to minors should be executed. But most also doubted the bill would get out of committee. Senate minority leader William A. Truban (R-Fauquier/Clarke/Shenandoah/Warren) said captial punishment would be too severe for first offenders. When told of the bill, Del. Thomas M. Moncure (R-Fau-quier/Stafford) said, “Wonderful idea, but a little unconstitutional. Something about due process of law.” He elaborated: “It’s a question of appropriateness under the circumstances.” Del. Moncure, a practicing lawyer, said the legislature probably •lake (capital, punishment) available . .. but I don't think you can constitutionally mandate it." Despite the constitutional problems of the Guest proposal for mandatory capital punishment, Del. Moncure said, “I would very much like to see that penalty authorized.” Sen. Kenneth G. Miller (R-Harrisonburg) believes capital punishment for first offenders is extreme. “My first impression is that it’s fine,” he said, “but that might be a little harsh.” With an imperfect judicial system, Sen. Miller said there’s always the chance that the accused could be wrongly convicted. “If someone’s put to death you can’t rectify that” if the person is later proved innocent of the charge. However, he said, “I wouldn’t have any qualms about the death penalty for the second offense” of selling hard drugs to minors. Sen. Truban, the minority leader, also is concerned that once the switch has been thrown, there’s no turning back. “You pull that lever, buddy, and that’s it.” For practical and moral reasons, Del. Kenneth R. Plum (D-Reston) said he would oppose the bill if it gets to the floor. “Capital punishment hasn't been a deterrent to any crime,” he said. Del. Guest said he anticipates opposition from some House members who reject the death penalty on principle alone. “There are some who don’t believe capital punishment is a deterrent,” he said, “but I happen to believe it is.” His goal is to take the profit out of drug dealing, or at least make the practice unattractive because of a severe or deadly penalty for getting convicted. If nothing else, the delegate would be pleased if the General Assembly approves life without parole for adults selling hard drugs to minors. Rappahannock Heritage THESE COWS SEEM UNCONCERNED by the recent spell of cold and rain. The lack of snow has meant good grazing for them so far this winter. V----) Letters to the editor Help with financial aid To the editor: Each year, at this time, as our seniors apply and prepare to go to college, questions arise about various ways of paying for a college education. The news media tell us of cutbacks in funding for college students and also tell us that millions of dollars in scholarships go unclaimed .each year because no one applied for * them. There is a great deal of confusing information and complex terminology which tends to be frightening to many folks who are looking for ways to pay for college bills. As a way of helping to break down barriers and give students and parents a step-by-step process to follow in finding money sources, Rappahannock County High School is sponsoring a workshop entitled “Money for College.” James Sellers from James Madison University will explain the various types of funding, where this money is available, and how and when to apply for it. The workshop will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 28, at 2 p.m. in the library atRCHS. a.oui: Anyone interested in this program is encouraged to attend. Information on local scholarships will also be available. As a member of the community, I feel that this is an important service to offer our students and community. I hope that many people will take advantage of this opportunity. MARY ANNE BIGGS Counselor Referendums a cop-out To the editor As the Virginia General Assembly begins its work, its members will be bombarded by a public recently concerned by increased taxes. It will certainly be tempting for our state representatives to avoid farther criticism by side-stepping other emotional issues (such as a state sponsored lottery) in favor of November referendums. Ours is a representative form of government. We elect the best and brightest of our men and women to go to Richmond where they are provided with as much information as possible to enable them to make intelligent decisions. We have every right to expect our representatives to face up to their responsibilities and vote directly on these difficult issues rather than passing the buck on to referendums. If our delegates and senators feel that a binding referendum is the fair way to resolve an important issue, will they also support binding referendums on other important issues, such as tougher penalties for drunken drivers, mandatory seat belts, raises for public school teachers, ERA, the death penalty, choice/right to life, etc.? By supporting a binding referendum on only a single issue, isn’t a legislator really “copping-out” and supporting that issue in a manner calculated to avoid accountability? If your readers believe that consistency, credibility, and accountability are important to the Commonwealth’s legislative process, then I urge them to make their opposition to a referendum on the volatile issue of a state-sponsored lottery known to their state senators and delegates within the next few days.

Thanks so much! JOHN TOTH Athletic Director Rappahannock County High School A ‘Robin Hood9 bill To the editor When the 1987 Virginia General Assembly convened on Jan. 7 for its 46-day “short” session, it didn't take' much time for the administration and the legislature to identify what will clearly be one of the most pressing fiscal issues that needs to be addressed this year - What to do with the state tax “windfall” that will be generated as early as 1988, due to the new federal tax reform laws. For months, ever since Congress passed its Tax Reform legislation, Virginia, and indeed every other state, has come to the realization that while the federal tax code will face sweeping reforms in the way it collects individual and corporate tax money, such changes present unprecedented confusion for states in the way they collect their own piece of the pie. Until, and unless, we are able to adjust our own tax laws to reflect these new federal taxation initiatives, so-called “windfalls” of increased tax monies will flow into state coffers. This situation could be regarded at this stage as taxation without representation. Because of this critical situation, Virginia has a responsibility to its citizens to do what is right - revise our own tax laws to compensate for this situation - and in the meanwhile, return to the Virginia taxpayer those additional tax revenues that are received unfairly during this time. Much to my disappointment, as well as that of numerous other legislators, the Governor is recommend.ing a solution that can only be described as a “Robin Hood bill.” About 40 percent of Virginia taxpayers itemize deductions on their state and federal tax returns, and many of these will not be available to them when the federal reforms go into effect. For many, consumer interest, Individual Retirement Accounts, and sales and titling tax payments will no longer be allowed as a deduction. Under the Governor’s plan, this 40 percent would not only get their fair share of the windfall, but because he is not advocating lowering the state’s tax brackets to meet the new ones drawn up by the federal reforms, this 40 percent would wind up paying for tax relief for those who do not itemize on their returns. The Governor’s plan only recommends that we simply raise the tax threshold for standard deductions, personal exemptions, top tax level brackets and the minimum filing base, forgetting that under the federal reforms, the heaviest burden for raising revenues is on corporate taxes and taxpayers who itemize their deductions. His plan hits these areas once again while leaving an estimated 621,000 wage earners off the rolls entirely. The Governor’s Robin Hood plan and his state tax reform package will be folly analyzed by the legislature during this session. It is my hope that we can come up with a much more equitable solution for all Virginians. On Wednesday, Jan. 21, there will be a public hearing on the lottery issue here at the General Assembly. And on Thursday, the 22nd, a public hearing dealing with Tort Reform Legislation will take place at 2 o’clock in House Room D. During the next six weeks I will continue to keep you informed on our activities on matters that are important to all of us. Concerned citizens wanting to contact me on items of interest can do so by calling (804) 786-7395, or writing me at my office in Richmond: Room 614, General Assembly Building, 910 Capitol Street, Richmond 23219.

Fence (Continued from Page 1) not been removed is a violation of the ARB’s decision, or (2) That the property owner (Mrs. Sisk) never applied for a permit for the fence. "There are the two situations, both of which are in violation.” Mrs. Wilis, who is also a member of council, said, "The ARB is an uncomfortable place to be. We have kept it low-key, tried to be serviceoriented. This is the first time we have had a problem.” Mayor Morehouse replied, "The ARB called it - by a unanimous vote against. The fence is not appro* priate to 1900 or before.” "We have no choice,” the mayor added. "The historic district ordinance passed in 1985. It’s clear what . the ordinance said, and what council said. If we don’t stand behind the ordinance, there’s no point to it.” "It’s essential,” Councilman Peter Skowronski said, "to back up the ordinance.” "You may be setting a precedent,” Mr. Thomasson admon-ished, "of a town council which in fact enforces one of its ordinances.” Mayor Dean Morehouse said that the power of enforcing the decisions of the ARB and the council must rest with the town’s attorney and zoning administrator John McCarthy: “To uphold our ordinances and our reason for being here.” Mr. Reynolds noted that Mr. McCarthy was acting within his authority to bring the violation to the council’s attention. But, he added, "he does not have the power to pass judgement.” Mayor Morehouse requested a motion to direct Mr. Reynolds and Mr. McCarthy “to do what is necessary to effect the ARB’s decision of inappropriateness - including legal action. We would like to work it out in the most amicable way possible, but that they take whatever steps are necessary.” The council approved the motion unanimously. Council then directed the ARB to develop suggestions for types of approved fencing similar to the guidelines now being used for suggested paint colors appropriate for use within the historic district. In other business, the council: • Approved a request from the Rappahannock Recreation Association to use the town’s streets for the annual Fodderstack race, set for mid-April. • Heard a report from the Water Authority that approximately 200,000 gallons of water a month continue to be unaccounted for. Brad Fisher added that $3,000 was spent on maintenance in the last month, including the replacement of a fire hydrant. Mr. Fisher said that Ray Pullen is working on cleaning out a section of brush over the supply line into town, and that he feels when the pipe is excavated they will find that a tree root has broken the line, causing the leak. • Mr. Fisher reported that the town has $2,010 in its checking account, $5,070 in savings, and $826 in the Water Authority account. • Directed that a letter be sent to Don Askew, resident engineer for the Highway Department, requesting a traffic survey be done in conjunction with a request to lower the speed limits in town. • Directed that a letter of appreciation be sent to Randolph Clater commending his work as a member of the town’s Planning Commission. • Asked Mr. Fisher to try to schedule a meeting regarding liability insurance for the members of - council. WSA (Continued from Page 1) has the NPDES permit necessary for sludge disposal although he will need an amendment from the State Water Control Board, Mr. Strider reported. Sperryville’s plant produces “a very small amount; nonetheless, he has to run through the hoops to handle it,” the planning district director said. As a prerequisite to Mr. Ingram’s application for a permit amendment to allow land disposal of Sperryville’s sludge, that sewage treatment by-product has been analyzed. “It looks pretty good from a testing standpoint,” Mr. Strider said. He explained that the Sperryville system is one of a kind. According to engineering estimates, it will produce 18,000 to 24,000 gallons of sludge per year but in the absence of hard data as to how often pumping must occur, Recyc is reluctant to commit to taking the sludge from the Sperryville plant to a disposal site. Therefore, a hauling contract with Rosebud is being investigated, Mr. Strider said. As an alternative, Recyc may bring a tanker to the plant and after Rosebud has pumped the sludge into the truck, send a Recyc employee at the company’s convenience to drive the tanker to a disposal site, he added. Mr. Strider noted that the Health Department, State Water Control Board and the Environmental Protection Agency have given approval for using the plant’s cement sludge tank as a holding tank. "As long as it’s on-site, doesn’t leak and is temporary - meaning six months at the most - it’s okay,” he said. “Now, if Mr. Ingram will consider the WSA’s tank as temporary storage, we can go ahead,” he said, noting Recyc stipulated that temporary storage for sludge be part of Atkins (Continued from Page 1) sewer service, Mr. Johnson noted. "How are we going to explain when they see their neighbor doing something that the Health Department has been saying for 20 years is a violation?” "If he’s discharging into the stream, there’s something we can do,” Mr, Shepherd volunteered. Evfeifif there’s ho pipe leading di-1 rectly from plumbing facilities to the river, sewage may still be flowing from Mr. Atkins’ residence into the Thornton, contended WSA chairman Martin Woodard. Waste could be seeping from the malfunctioning septic field into the groundwater and carried underground to the riverbed or running off on the surface of the ground, he said. "Can we request the Health Department to check all private sewage' disposal systems (in the service district)?” asked James Swindler. "Why not just this one?” Chairman Woodard asked, pointing out that the handful of others have already been okayed by local sanitarian Jack Lockhart. If Mr. Atkins refuses to allow the (esting, then the WSA can direct its attorney, Douglas Baumgardner, to "get a bench warrant,” he added. "We could do the same thing for anyone else not on the system,” Mr. Swindler said. "He’s the only one,” repeated the WSA chairman. All other businesses or residences still on septic fields in the service district were checkeaby Mr. Lockhart and found to have “full, working systems,” Mr. Johnson affirmed. "And this one’s right on the river!” Mr. Woodard pointed out, maintaining that Mr. Atkins would find it impossible, under current regulations, to obtain a Health Department permit for a septic field at his location just a few yards from the banks of the Thornton. "I wouldn’t want to go quite that far,” countered Mr. Shepherd. He conceded, however, that it would be "very difficult” for Mr. Atkins to meet today’s requirements on size of a septic field. ‘This is a test case,” Mr. Woodard said. "If he can say he’s not going to hook on (to the sewer system), what’s to stop me or anybody else from doing the same thing? We’re just asking you to give it your best shot (in enforcing Hie connection requirement),” he told Mr. Shepherd. “We don’t have a real good shot, though, as for as our taking any legal action against him,” countered the district sanitation manager. Should the WSA request assistance, the Health Department can only seek permission from Mr. Atkins to conduct the dye test to determine if waste water from his residence is running into the river. Then, if the test shows the septic field is malfunctioning, it’s up to the Authority to take legal action, Mr. Shepherd explained. “What’s to happen if he refuses to allow the test?” asked Mr. Swindler. Ducking a direct answer, Mr. Shepherd told the WSA that the last time he visited Mr. Atkins’ prop erty, it was being shown to a prospective buyer. A purchaser would require proof that the dwelling has an "adequate means of sewage disposal and an adequate water system,” he noted. “We could possibly get the test done that way without taking any other legal action.” “The same state agency that says you’ve got to put this damn thing in almost seems reluctant to require that it be used,” said Mr. Swindler, obviously disgruntled at the lack of support for enforcement measures. Two Sperryville householders with septic field permits sought a waiver of the connection requirement but hooked on to the system after Mr. Lockhart’s tests showed their drainfields were not ftrnc tioning adequately, Carson Johnson recalled. The only exceptions granted to date have gone to property owners “up on the hill” overlooking the village, he noted. (Soils on the slopes well above the Thornton are not flood plain soils and therefore, sewage runs through the septic drainfields at a slow enough rate for impurities , to >be removed from the -*waste water.) Mr. Shepherd agreed to try for the dye test on Mr. Atkins’ property; the Authority members agreed to seek advice from attorney Douglas Baumgardner as to what should happen next. “The main thing we’re looking for is an answer to give people that we’ve told it’s mandatory to hook up,” Mr. Johnson concluded.

V I ASCSai ounces 1987 programs The Rappahannock County unit of the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service announces that it has a number of programs available for area farmers. Agricultural Conservation Program: A program designed to help farmers reduce soil loss, conserve water and solve other conservation and environmental problems. ACP offers cost-share assistance for conservation practices which might otherwise not be implemented. Cost-share is based on a percentage of the average cost of eligible practice components. Farmers who meet ASCS low-income requirements may be eligible for a higher cost-share allocation. ACP will cover the following practices and projects: Establishment or improvement of permanent vegetative cover, strip cropping systems, grazing land protection, cropland protective cover, critical area cover, livestock watering facilities, sod waterways, planting or improving forest trees, and animal waste disposal facilities. The emphasis of the program is on soil conservation, so ASCS recommends application for assistance with the area of each farm which causes the most soil erosion. All requests are subject to county ASCS committee consideration, and no cost-shares will be paid on projects begun before committee approval is granted. Amounts or sou lost versus amount conserved by implementing the program will be considered by the committee, and binds will be targeted toward projects with the highest conservation ratio. Soil tests are required for practices involving lime and/or fertilizer. The ASCS requests that soil test results (within the last two years) be brought in at the time of application. Applications must be completed by Friday, Jan. 90. Chesapeake Bay Program: Fourteen practices are eligible for cost-share under the ASCS Chesapeake Bay Program. They include animal waste control facilities, contour farming, diversions, grass filter strips, grazing land protection, notill cropland, no-till pastureland, permanent vegetative cover on critical areas, protective cover for vegetative cropland, reforestation of erodible crop and pastureland, sediment retention, erosion or water control structure, sod waterways, stream protection, stripcropping systqro and terrace systems,: Goet-ehares*aro pahT {bp* Wtttt ftmds and projects are subject to approval from the local Soil and Water Conservation District Board. Applications must be filed with ASCS by Friday, Jan. 30, and practices must be completed by Dec. 31. Disaster Payments Program: The federal Disaster Payments Program, instituted as a response to the devastating drought last year, has been extended until Jan. 30. Farmers who have had a loss of more than 50 percent of expected production of program-covered crops, or more than a 50 percent loss of income for other commercially produced crops, may be eligible for compensation under Public Law 99500. That law authorizes limited disaster payments to burners who lost crops due to the drought. To determine eligibility the following requirements must be met: (1) File an application for disaster credit; (2) File an acreage report; (3) Furnish production evidence for the 1986 crop, as well as reports on production of non-program crops for the years 1983-85. Wool Program: Applications for incentive payments for producers of wool or unshorn lambs sold during 1986 must be filed by Saturday, Jan. 31. The ASCS office requests that * sales tickets (with original signatures) be brought to the office when application is made. Copies of Form CCC-182, Report of Payment to Producers, will be mailed to fanners during the last two weeks of January. The form shows the amount of ASCS payments during 1986 which have been reported to the IRS. Anyone who does not receive a form, or has a question about a form, should contact the ASCS office. For additional information about any ASCS programs, or questions regarding any ASCS programs, contact the ASCS office, located on Gay Street in Washington, telephone 675-3633. uc INCORPORATED Regular Sales Every Tuesday HORSE SALE 2nd Sat, 1 p.iti^ Every Month "STATEQRAD^" FAT CATTLE 1«t Tu—1 p.m. Evry Month 1 Mil* East Of Marshall Rt 55 364-1866

Council (Continued from Page 1) lies, with taxes paid separately on the applicable schedules for each portion of the business. An advantage to the business tax, Mr. Dickey pointed out, is that it is collected in advance, thus eliminating the “seasonal vagaries” of a tax based on restaurant or lodging receipts. The town would know, in advance, how much money it has for each fiscal year. By setting different tax rates, Mr. Dickey maintained, MI think they meant to tell us something: Don’t tax these businesses to death’.” “It (the business tax) is such a little bite, no one is going to fight. The maximum tax on restaurants (based on gross receipts) is 20 cents per $100, or onefifth of one percent. The maximum tax on lawyers,” he quipped, “I’m not going to tell.” “I think this is fair, I think this can work. The alternative would endanger The Inn.” In restaurants, he maintained, customers don’t look at the bill and figure what percentage of the total is tax. They merely look at the total, and at some point, “You say This place is too expensive,’ and you don’t go back... Round 8Vfe to 10 percent, and you go home and eat. That would happen.” Speaking for his clients, Mr. Dickey added, They don’t mind paying their fair share, but they don’t want to risk their livelihood .. . Restaurants have a low profit margin. They spend a lot of money getting the best ingredients, quality labor, to make the meal worth eating. “If you saddle them with an 8V2 percent tax (4V4 percent state sales tax, 4 percent town tax) they are going to lose some. They may move - or maybe not. What will happen with The Black Kettle and Brambles?” Joan St. Clair, owner of The Black Kettle, posed a “hypothetical question” to the council. “What happens if the one or two businesses you plan to tax are not here? If it is so targeted, instead of making money you’ll lose money.” “I’m tired of collecting taxes,” she continued. “I collect taxes for Virginia; and now for Washington. I resent it The harder I work toe behinder I get “I’ve seen things go from bad to worse: people aren’t going to Skyline Drive, people are leaving - not coming, it’a a dying town." Jim Thomasson suggested that if the council eventually decides to adopt a restaurant tax, it should be extended to include the bed and breakfast establishments. Council member William Wickens, who drafted the meals tax ordinance, said when he presented the ordinance to council that it was not legal to include the bed and breakfasts. “I think it is,” replied town attorney Frank Reynolds. That type of tax, Mr. Thomasson maintained, puts the burden on visitors, rather than on the townspeople. “That is our intent,” Mayor Morehouse affirmed, “to put the burden on visitors rather than affect those in town on fixed incomes.” “Your stated purpose,” Mr. Dickey replied, “could hurt you in the long run... The Inn has done a lot for the town; put a new fece on the town.” Mr. Thomasson, who with his wife (council member Nan Thomasson) owns Heritage House Bed and Breakfast, agreed. “Half of the bed and breakfast business comes from The Inn.” Rather than target a 4 percent tax at restaurants, Mr. Thomasson suggested, define the ordinance more broadly to include the B & Bs, and lower the rate. The problem, Mayor Morehouse said, is that the town is in a financial crisis. “Nothing has been done for so long, and so much needs to be done. The council is committed to retrofit the water system.” “Would six to ten thousand dollars a year help?” Mr. Dickey Inquired. The mayor replied that the town is looking for more like $30-40,000 a year for capital projects - primarily the water system. Mrs. St. Clair asked about the possibility of financing the overhaul of the water system with a bond issue, or low-interest federal loans. Mayor Morehouse replied that it would be impossible to rate a bond issue on the town’s present revenues. “The Farmers Home Administration programs are gone,” added Treasurer Brad Fisher. days of 3 percent interest loans are gone. There is no way the town can upgrade the water system without using revenue.” “Why not write the governor?” Mrs. St. Clair suggested. Mrs. Thomasson said she felt the matter required more work and discussion. Council members agreed to defer a decision on which ordinance to advertise until after a work session on Wednesday, Jan. 21, at the courthouse. At that meeting the council plans to discuss both proposals, compare possible revenue generated by each, and decide which will be advertised for a public hearing at the council’s meeting Feb. 11. Bids (Continued from Page 1) “We don’t want anyone to have fears regarding the safety of the children during construction,” Chairman : Beverly Massie emphasized. "Safety will be a prime concern.” She recalled that the School Board members had visited an elementary school in Stanley where a building project and classes were conducted simultaneously. The board members spoke with administrators, teachers and parents there. “They all said things couldn’t have gone smoother.” Certainly, there will be inconvenience at RCHS, she conceded. “But we hope everyone will be willing to live with a little dust... We’ve come so far, we don’t want anyone to be upset.” Mr. Estabrook reported that Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke is researching how a special fund established by the Moffett family should be administered. Since the Moffetts pledged a substantial contribution towards the first literary loan payment, due two years from now, five other families have offered donations, he noted. “I kind of hate to leave thin agenda item,” said the superintendent, as he completed his report on capital outlay developments. “It’s like holding a new baby,” agreed the School Board chairman. “You don’t want to give it up!” LEATHERCOAT t Visit Leathercoat and Taste The Difference Chilled Shellfish Salad with a Twist of Saffron Pasta and Tomato Vinaigrette 7.00 Winter Risotto Garnished with Fresh Pumpkin, Wild Mushrooms and Black Truffles 18.75 Frozen Chocolate Souffle with Walnuts and White Chocolate 6.75 16 Varieties of Fine American and Imported Wine Served By the Glass or Half Glass Special dietary and vegetarian requett gladly accommodated Menu item* subject to product availability.

Virginia Landfill (Continued from Page 1) have been in months ago.” A closure plan for the landfill on the Clarke property near WoodviDe has been approved. “It’s being put into effect right now. Come July 1 - maybe a few days before - that will be the end of refiise going into that site,” Mr. Forman said, noting that the refiise flow has been heavier than anticipated. Pressed on whether approval for a new landfill could come before that deadline, Mr. Forman didn’t back down from his contention that it is impossible. "I know of one site that's been under consideration since 1986 and it still hasn’t been approved by Richmond. They’ve been sitting on things down there.” He added that permits were granted recently for three landfills in his district but engineering reports on those sites were submitted in October and November of 1985. What will happen if July 1 arrives and the Clarice dump closes before either (1) a new landfill has been approved or (2) the Board of Supervisors has worked out an agreement with some other locality to dispose of Rappahannock’s trash? "That’s going to be a problem for somebody,” Mr. Forman answered. But as to whose problem it will be and what enforcement action - if any - the state may take against the county, the district landfill supervisor wouldn’t hazard a guess. "That’s for Richmond to say,” he concluded. Zoning administrator John Me-1 Carthy, who doubles as administrative assistant to the Board of Supervisors, reported that the board has been unable to get an answer to that same question. Consequently, the supervisors, at a special meeting last Friday, decided to ask for a conference with representatives of the State’s Division of Solid Waste Management “to make sure everybody understands the situation here,” Mr. McCarthy explained. Also at last Friday’s meeting, the board learned that consultant Leonard Joyce has been unsuccessful in finding a locality willing to take Rappahannock’s trash on a pay basis under even a short term contract. The effort to persuade another county to accept the refuse has been complicated by a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision which holds that solid waste falls under interstate commerce provisions. This means that if refuse is taken from one source for 1>ey, it must be accented from others seeking to pay for disposal, Mr. McCarthy explained. Acceptance of one paying landfill user and rejection of others would be judged an unfair trade practice, according to the court’s ruling, Mr. McCarthy said. The board’s administrative assistant noted that the engineer’s report on further studies at the Lee jute is expected to be put in the mail on Friday, Jan. 23. At the same time, the Board of Supervisors is continuing to search for an alternative landfill location. Last week, the supervisors approved an independent appraisal of the Stover property near Amissville as a preliminary step to drafting a sales contract on the 100 acres off Route 639. Reportedly, the owners are interested in selling the land to the county for a landfill but refuse to allow testing without a signed sales contract. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke is cur rently drafting such a contract, with a contingency danse voiding the transaction if the site is found to be unsuitable for solid waste disposal, Mr. McCarthy said. Cheryl Cashman, public information director for the Department of Natural Resources, disagreed with Mr. Forman’s contention. She reported that Bob Wickline, head of the department’s sanitary landfill division, said review of the complete application could be accomplished in 80 days. "Frankly, that’s not the timeline we’ve been operating under,” she conceded, acknowledging that, in the past, the process has taken six months to over a year. But since the new Department of Natural Resources was established and took over landfill supervision last July, "we’ve tried to relieve the backlog (of permit applications).” "Given Rappahannock’s circumstances,” Ms. Cashman continued, the indication is that the county would be "given special treatment” and its landfill permit application moved to the top of the pile. "We would certainly do everything in our power to help. But we can’t do anything without a completed application and we don’t have one.” And once that application is received, there’s "no guarantee that it won’t lack something,” she said. The public information director noted that, as a rule, there’s "a lot of back and forth” between Richmond and tbe permit applicant, with the Division of Solid Waste Management pointing out where additional information is needed or where changes are required in the landfill plan. For this “back and forth,” Mr. Wickline estimated that at least another 30 days would be required to complete the application process. Although Mr. Wickline promises prompt attention and quick action for Rappahannock’s application for a landfill on the Lee property, that may not be enough to head off a trash crisis. Reportedly, the studies and tests mandated in the state’s permitting process generally take six months to complete with actual site preparation - the digging of test wells, installation of liners and erosion controls, road construction and other improvements - requiring another six months. The studies and tests are expensive, running as high as $50,000, so applications for landfill approval are usually submitted in stages. That way, if Division of Solid Waste Management finds a problem and rejects a proposed site, the applicant can escape without spending the entire $50,000. Mr. McCarthy confirmed that the Board of Supervisors doesn’t anticipate receiving a completed application, by state standards, this Friday. Excellence is the perfect excuse.

Chief Huff said that the building was too far gone to save when the trucks arrived, and the effort was directed toward keeping the flames from spreading to five adjacent structures, two only eight feet from the burning house. By wetting the roofs and siding, the firefighters were able to contain the fire to the one building. On Tuesday, as he walked around the still-smoking ruins, Mr. Pivarnik had high praise for the volunteers’ efforts. “They did all the right things,” he said, pointing out chunks of burnt wood Uttering the ground several hundred feet from the house. He described the way the burning embers rained from the sky “like a volcano” around the other buildings. The insurance adjustor looked at the unscorched paint on the two buildings just feet from the fire and said “They can’t do that,” he said, adding that gasoline stored in plastic bottles outside the shed had also not caught fire. Two pumpers were used to supply water to quell the flames. One drafted from a pond near the houses, the other pumped the 30,000 gallon swimming pool almost dry. About three hours after the last units left at 8 a.m. Sunday, firefighters were called back because the fire had restarted. Since the structure was a total loss, they allowed the remains to burn out, rather than try- ^ ing to extinguish it a second time. According to Mr. Pivamik, an electrical problem is suspected as thp pfliiop Mr. and Mrs. Pivamik had a positive outlook on the experience. They said that officials of the diocese were “upbeat” and expected to go forward with a building program to replace the retreat center. “We don’t give up,” he said. “We expect to be a going concern again soon.” They both also had thanks for the support received from their neighbors. “The outpouring from the community has just been fantastic,” Mr. Pivarnik said. “Bless their hearts,” added his wife. Damage was estimated at several hundred thousand dollars. Again, no one was iryured in the fire. Another major fire destroyed a workshop on Rt. 626 in Castleton Sunday night. According to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, the structure was apparently being used as a residence, although the occupants were not at home. The property is owned by Ruby Gray of Fairfax. Sheriff Woodward said that the roof had caved in when firefighters from Castleton, Sperryville and Salem arrived. He said that the cause of the fire is undetermined, and the damage was so extensive that it might not be possible to find out the cause. f There were no injuries in that fire either, although several animals belonging to the occupants were believed to have died in the blaze. Special ed. (Continued from Page 3) the presentation of warm-up jerseys, towels, basketballs and reversible practice jerseys represents the efforts of many people and reflects the broad-based community support for the county’s public schools. Expressing the School Board’s appreciation for both donations, the chairman said that Rappahannock “is going into a whole new era with our educational programs. It makes everybody feel good.” In other business, the School Board: • Accepted a bid of $200 per unit from Terminex to* termite control for the modular classrooms now at the high school. • Heard from Superintendent Estabrook that his recommendations on incorporating a child safety program in the regular school curriculum will be forthcoming in time for next school year. • Tabled a decision on purchasing radios for the school buses until next month when all members are expected to be present. (Both Bill Oliver and Randall Updike were absent from last week’s session.) • Agreed to ask the Board of Supervisors for a supplemental appropriation amounting to $4,214 so that money from the sale of old school buses and used equipment, a refund on insurance Coverage, and a rebate on overcharges for workers’ compensation may be included as revenue in this year’s budget.

BOB DUNPHY Pastor, Family Worship Canter Washington, Va. GREETINGS, FRIENDS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS WHY DID JESUS COME TO EARTH? I John 3:8. This tells us He came to “destroy the works of the devil.” The Bible teaches that sickness is from the devil. Luke 4:18 & 19 says, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has appointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." You people that are wealthy, do not get the idea that this scripture is only to the under privelidged. The word “poor” means people that do not know Jesus personally. Do you fit one of these categories? Are you brokenhearted, captive to a habit or to sickness? Are you blind, either in the natural or in the spirit? Are you saved and still oppressed or lost and posessed? Or are you “poor”? If you are in one of these places, now is the time to get delivered. Family Worship Center has been placed here to do the work of Jesus. Come and see the Glory of Jesus work. JESUS IS LORD!
