Budget proposal draws few public comments By LOU HATTER Rawidunnoik Newt Staff Writer The Washington Town Council held a public hearing last Wednesday to receive input from residents about its proposed $72,660 budget, but the questions came from the members of cowed. The fiscal 1987-88 budget is the first, at least in recent years, which includes money for capital improvements. But true to a long history of spending only what it takes in, the town’s proposed expenditures perfectly balance its projected revenues. The numbers are, however, significantly larger. Before the public hearing began, Mayor Dean Morehouse reminded the members of council that the proposed figures represented only guidelines, ami that money would not be spent before the hinds had been received. New tax equals more money Council has pledged as its number one priority the refurbishing of the town’s antiquated water system. To that end, it passed in April a 2 Vi percent restaurant and lodging tax, with the proceeds to be used to fix the town’s water problems. According to Treasurer Brad Fisher’s estimate, income from the new tax will account for $38,500, or 53 percent, of expected revenue. Water sales to the town’s 120 customers will make up another 26 percent — $19,000 — of the total. In previous years, water authority revenue had been listed separately, but this year it has been combined into the town’s general fund. Mr. Fisher said that the change was to make the bookkeeping easier. He also pointed out that the town’s income last year from all sources totalled almost $50,000. Seen in that context, the $72,660 budget this year is not actually the huge increase which is seen if only the two years’ general fund figures are compared. For examplq, the Rappahannock National Bank’s franchise tax, which until this year has accounted for as much as 75 percent of the town’s general fund income, will still .contribute an estimated $10,000 igitt the town’s Coffers. But, as a percentage of the newly-combined total income, it shrinks to only 14 percent. The town also derives $3,400 from state sales tax ($2,100) and ABC profits ($1,300) returned to the town by the state. That figure is supplemented by $10 returned annually by the state as the town’s share of the rolling stock tax collected on commercial trucks using state-maintained Town of Washington’s Proposed Budget Projected Income Projected Expenses 3% Salas _ Tax 14% Bank Franchlaa Tax 26% Watar Salta _ 4% Other 12% streets. _ 53% Lodging & Meal Tax _34% Watar Department -30% Payroll i^oads — in this case, the short portion of Rt. 211 Business within the town limits. A pole tax paid by Potomac Edison for each utility pole within the town accounts for $100, while the town’s use tax contributes another $650. Interest on savings accounts, building and ARB permit fees, and money paid to the town for contract work, all listed in the budget as “Other,” add another $1,000. Expenses still balance revenues On the expenditure side, the town has also overhauled the budget from previous years. Council has kept its promise that the water department would receive the largest share of the tax-generated income. That category is budgeted for a total of $24,950, one-third of the projected expert^ diture. Capital improvements* ; for overhauling the aging' si" eated $17,000. The distribution s\ “Hurdes electricity to pur costs to maintain the pu , , __^_ for $2,750. Expected expenses to maintain theireU; pressure tank, and the property around it, listed as “water supply,” account for $3,000. Administrative costs incurred in running the water department are budgeted for $1,000. i • The meter shop receives $500, to ibe used for meter upkeep, tools, parts and time in repairing the meters. Another $300 is set aside for chlorination and testing of the water supply. Payroll is the second-largest category of expenditure, consuming 30 percent of the proposed budget, with $20,000 reserved for salaries, including the mayor, treasurer and council members, as well as its full-time employee, Ray Pullen. Another $1,600 will pay the town’s share of the government-mandated FICA (Social Security) coverage for those employees. An additional $10,000 has been proposed under the category “Fire Department.’’Capital improvements to lines and hydrants to improve fire protection receive a $6,000 line item, while another $4,000 is earmarked as an appropriation for the Washington ‘Volunteer Fire Department. n “Streets” are allocated an additional $8,350 in the budget.

Routine maintenance and general upkeep is projected at $1,600, while a contingency fund for emergency repairs receives an additional $2,000. The “Administration” category is budgeted at $8,350, or seven percent of the total. Liability insurance for the town’s officials, employees and properties Graphic by lawnnc* Batman (br Tha Bappahannatk Nawa . is projected at $1,200. “Professional services,” a line item which includes attorney's fees and recording secretary for council’s meetings, is $3,000. Office supplies and utilities account for $800. And the genera) upkeep of Town Hall is allocated another $260. A contract with John Norman for trash collection, cutting grass along town rights-of-way and snow removal firom the sidewalks ($2,000) and maintenance of the town’s “sanitary facilities,” including trash cans, dumpster and rental of port-apots for the Independence Day celebration ($500) make up. the remaining three percent of the proposed budget. Line items questioned With Mr. Fisher out of town last Wednesday, questions from the council members about specific line items were unanswered. (Mr. Fisher provided the detailed line-item explanations forthi* astk... cle during an interview Tuesday) Evelyn Willis told her fellow council members that she would “like to know exactly what the fire department’s money is going for.” Another line item, she pointed out, is $1,000 for the water superintendent’s office. “I want to know what that money is used for.” (See BUDGET, page 18) Curriculum changes could have 4big impact9 Superintendent David Gangel is waiting for the State Department of Education to explain exactly what it all means, but his first assessment of the state’s new standards for accrediting public schools is that the effects will be significant. “It’s going to have a big impact on us,” he told the Rappahannock School Board last week. “But at this point in time, we don’t know how big that impact will be.” - Superintendents’ Memo 131 from S. John Davis, superintendent of public instruction, sets out the changes in accreditation standards. A review of its 26 pages shows that the standards as now written leave individual school divisions a lot of room for interpretation. For instance, the standards specify that “each school shall provide for the earliest possible identification of gifted students and enrollment by such students in challenging instructional programs taught by teachers with special training or experience in working with gifted students.” What is “earliest possible” in one school division may lag behind the “earliest possible” in another. One school board’s “challenging” material might be seen as standard by another board. And “special training” for teachers could entail a couple of horn's in one school and weeks in another. According to Dr. Gangel, the general pronouncements from Richmond will have to be explained and, depending on the reaction from school administrators and local government, the specifics might be revised further. As an example, the standards now state that “fund-raising activities which involve elementary students in door-to-door solicitation shall be prohibited.” Dr. Gangel said he would interpret that to mean the seventh graders at Rappahannock County Elementary School could no longer sell magazine subscriptions, tapes and other items that have been traditional fund-raisers for the class trip to Williamsburg. “But the pressure might be there” to convince the Department of Education that the prohibition should be restricted to kindergarten through fourth grade or that sixth and seventh graders should be exempted, he added. The new accreditation standards, approved in June by the State Board of Education, become effective in 1988-89; that is, youngsters who are ninth graders that year will have to comply with more stringent graduation requirements. They can be viewed as “the first step” towards a proposed program for publicly identifying commendable and educationally deficient schools, Dr. Gangel affirmed. That identification program is “subject to development of criteria approved by the Board of Education” and will begin no sooner than the 199091 school year, according to Memo 131. The delay is attributable to the reaction this plan has received, Dr. Gangel said. “There are school divisions that will still be deficient even though they’re trying very hard,” he saitj, guessing that the criteria will include the annual administrative review that gives schools a ranking of either accredited, accredited and advised or accredited and warned; standardized test scores; scores on the new “passport” testing for promotion to ninth grade; minimum competency testing and drop-out rate. Inner-city schools in particular may have difficulties in earning a “passing” grade in these categories and may be judged educationally deficient as a result, but Rappahannock’s public schools - whatever the evaluation criteria - should be ranked “commendable,” Dr. Gangel said. The identification program is the only component of the new accreditation standards postponed until 1990-91. The new requirements set to take effect in 1988-89 include: • 21 credits (one over the current standard) for (See CHANGES, page 17) Students come as visitors, leave as family * By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Pizzas, pizzas everywhere, on counters, stove and sink. Pepperoni pizzas, sausage pizzas, mushroom pizzas, cheese pizzas and even anchovy pizzas. Brad Fisher is up to his elbows in dough, rolling out more pizzas.

It’s appropriate: Brad Fisher fixing this typically American food which, in fact, has been adopted and adapted from a foreign country. Like the pizza from Italy, most of the young people who crowd the kitchen in the Fishers’ Washington home have been adopted and adapted from native lands thousands of miles away.

His tutor, Tom Faust, is one of the county’s 15 Literacy Volunteers. Literacy program receives $6,500 By LINDA DIETEL Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Two local groups learned last week that they will receive as much as $6,544 from the state to promote literacy in Rappahannock County. The grant, which is part of the Virginia Library Literacy Program, has been given to the Rappahannock County Library, which is involved in a joint project with the Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers. The Literacy Volunteers, who were formed less than two years ago, now number 15 members in Rappahannock County. The volunteers work one-on-one with adults and teenagers over the age of 16 to improve their basic reading and writing skills. Recently, the program has begun offering instruction in English as a second language. Several county residents are also working with the Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers to prepare for the GED High School Equivalency Examination. Joyce Pullen, who recently took and passed the GED exam after studying with the volun teers, said that she is looking forward to continuing her education. Currently, there are several trained Literacy Volunteers looking for students. The program, said a spokesman, is free, confidential, and geared to each individual student's learning abilities and needs. Tutoring times and places can also be arranged to fit each student’s schedule. The Virginia Library Literacy grant will be used to promote the program and to purchase reading materials for all levels of adult students. “Since Rappahannock County has no adult vocational or continuing education programs, the grant will be an important step to encouraging and furthering literacy within the county,” the spokesman said. For more information about the Literacy Volunteers and the adult literacy program, call the Rappahannock County Library (675-3780), the Child Care and Learning Center (675-3237), or Margaret Gottleib (547-3934). Mrs. Gottleib is the Literacy Volunteer coordinator.

K^priMMckNoviflMQ/LQiitaMr A SMALL TRAFFIC JAM resulted Saturday morning as this truck hauled half of one of the modular classrooms from the high school to its new site in Harris Hollow. A man is stationed on the roof with a long board to raise low-hanging electric lines in the path of the truck. Tractor kills Bentonville man Charles Raymond Butler, 18, of Rt. 1, Box 19, Bentonville, was killed early Thursday morning when the tractor he was driving turned over and landed on top of him. Mr. Butler was a member of a fencing crew working on the late C. E. (Ned) Johnson’s farm off Rt. 522 in Sperryville, on property now owned by his daughter, Bet Jones. He and another worker were descending a steep slope towing a farm wagon when apparently Mr. Butler lost control of the tractor. The tractor jackknifed and tipped over, crushing Mr. Butler’s head under one of its rear wheels. Rappahannock County Sheriff John Henry Woodward said that it was unclear whether Mr. Butler had jumped or been thrown from the tractor. Although he was found lying on his stomach, scratches and dirt on his back and shoulders seem to indicate that he may have landed on his back and had rolled over, perhaps onto his hands and knees, when the tractor wheel pinned him, the sheriff said. Mr. Butler’s co-worker told Sheriff Woodward that he was riding on the wagon and jumped off Rappahannock National Bank “Your community bank” Hours: Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Friday evenings 5-7 Gay Street, Washington 703-675-3519 “North <& South” CIVIL WAR ERA at the Auction Barn / Rt. 28 Sat.

"It was just a freak accident,” Sheriff Woodward said. He added that the steepness of the slope, the presence of early-morning dew on the grass and the weight of a piledriving attachment on the front of the tractor may have combined to make the rig unstable. "It probably just got away from him. I don’t think we’ll ever know whether he jumped or was thrown.” Dr. Werner Krebser, the county’s medical examiner, pronounced Mr. Butler dead at the scene.

Politics in the country: n >•> _. d aiues praises Chase at fundraiser9 campaign staff announced About 150 people attended a fund-raiser Friday at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria for William C. Chase Jr., Democratic nominee for the 26th District State Senate seat representing Rappahannock County. Honored guest for the picnic was Gov. Gerald L. Baliles, who took time off from his three-day tour of the Shenandoah Valley and Northern Piedmont to attend. Citing Mr. Chase for "qualities of leadership and credibility,” Gov. Baliles told the audience assembled beneath an outdoor shelter that he is committed to helping elect a new senator to represent the 26th District. He said that those in attendance who share his concerns for transportation, educational quality, protecting natural resources and attracting new industry should also work diligently to elect Mr. Chase. “I’m sure all Virginia would be in your debt,” the Governor concluded. In thanking Gov. Baliles for his support, Mr. Chase told the crowd, “With the proper amount of people working for me, I know I can win.” Organizers of the fund-raiser called it a success. Donations were still being tabulated and a final figure had not been released early this week. “We’re encouraged by the show of support we received,” Mr. Chase said. “This shows residents of the district want a contested election this fall.” A Stevensburg resident, Mr. Chase is presently chairman of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors. Last week the challenger, who BEGINNING THE POLITICAL SEASON, State Senate candidate Bill Chase was at the Courthouse Friday afternoon filming a television commercial. is seeking to unseat incumbent Kevin Miller of Harrisonburg, announced his campaign staff. Managing the campaign will be Steve Johnson, a former political reporter for the Charlottesville Daily Progress. Mr. Johnson is currently enrolled in the postgraduate pro gram at the University of Virginia, pursuing a Ph.D. in political science. Acting as Mr. Chase’s media representative will be Robert Freis, a Roanoke native who has been a reporter and editor for a number of Virginia newspapers. Betty Jolly, of Harrisonburg, has been named by Mr. Chase as the campaign’s treasurer. She has been an active figure in Democratic party affairs in the Harrisonburg-Rockingham County area. Mr. Chase has also opened a campaign office at 162 East Davis St. in Culpeper. The Chase for Senate Committee can be reached at (703) 825-4416. Slaughter contends budget process must change, Congress holds key By LOU HATTER Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer “The number one responsibility of Congress under the Constitution - and where it has its greatest influence - is in the powers of the purse,” Rep. D. French Slaughter Jr. said Friday. The Seventh District congressman said that he feels Congress is seen as “doing a very poor job for a number of years” on that score, “and unfortunately, I do not think it will be better this year.” In fact, he added, “I think the deficit reduction will be less than in 1986. Last year was not great but it was a tangible beginning.” The problem, Mr. Slaughter explained^trgfcoup df abdirt 15 Rappahannock* residehts gathered at the couIrthousdSfor a toWh meeting, “is the same as always. Congress must impose financial discipline on itself. We must sit down and make choices. It is very difficult process,” he said, “but it is the only way to get out of it (the deficit situation).” Asked about the present mood of Congress regarding an amendment to the Constitution to require a balanced budget, Rep. Slaughter replied, “There is some support for it, perhaps 230 to 240 votes, but not yet therequired two-thirds majority.” He stressed that the concept of a balanced budget is not really unusual. “It requires the same discipline as the 43 states which require balanced budgets.” It would mean that priorities would have to be established and spending limited to the amount of revenues. Asked if he believes that, given the political realities of special interests and reelection considerations, Congress could establish those priorities, Mr. Slaughter said yes. “It’s a lot easier to say ‘No’ when you have a Constitutional amendment to contend with.” He proposed that, to reduce its immediate impact, such an amendment be phased in over four to five years. In that time, he added, without increases in programs a lot of money could be saved. Catastrophic health care gains Mr. Slaughter told the group that plans to provide insurance coverage against the soaring costs of catastrophic illness have gained momentum in the 100th Congress. Several plans, one of which was sponsored by Rep. Slaughter, are being considered. Under the proposals, physicians’ services, hospital stays, nursing home care and some drug therapy KS1 □PEN ABUSE I _jj The grapes are ripe and the press is rolling? * £ Its harvest time and another Virginia vintage is underway.

The program, he said, would be funded by a surcharge on income tax to be paid by the elderly. The surcharge rates range from $5 to $11 per person per year under the different bills. The coverage under the various proposals is “similar.” Other measures which Mr. Slaughter said he would favor being made part of the bill include: • Incentives or credits to those who use their own health care programs rather than the government plan. Mr. Slaughter said he feels that plans which do not provide an exemption to those who have earned longrtesm health-care coverage during their working life, such as gov eminent and some private industry employees, amount to an unfair tax on those retirees. • Allowing people over a certain age to cash in life insurance policies and establish a savings account to cover health care costs. The measure would waive the tax penalty which usually accompanies such a capital gain - provided the money is earmarked for health care costs. • Ensuring private health plans which already cover 36 percent of older Americans meet a minimum standard of coverage and benefits.

According to Michael Mazango, corporate communications director for the Salisbury, N. C.-based Food Lion chain, a private exterminator hired by his firm has given their store here a clean bill of health now for two consecutive weeks. He also said the store’s manager, 30-year-old James Armbrister, and others are making daily inspections for evidence of rodents with negative results. Early this month, charges in Warren County General District Court were brought against manager Armbrister by state agricultural department inspector G. W. Williams. The charges claim that the Food Lion store failed to protect food in the process of sale or storage from possible rodent contamination; failed to maintain sanitary conditions after being notified to do so; and offered for sale food that had been gnawed by rodents. Mr. Armbrister is scheduled to appear in court September 16. The Food Lion spokesman said Monday, “The problem that existed is now in the past. The news is (getting) out now,” but Mr. Armbrister and others have taken corrective action, Mr. Mazango said. It is as clean a place as any other grocery store here, he said. Mr. Mazango said that Mr. Armbrister was transferred to the Front Royal store this spring to correct problems and “he’s done the job. ” The spokesman blamed the charges on a rapid succession of inspections that did not allow Mr. Armbrister sufficient time to correct the rodent problem. He said the charges are based on the result of a June inspection. “The inspections (which led to the charges) were so close together, there simply was not enough time to react,” Mr. Mazango said. Efforts to obtain comment from the state Department of Agriculture were unsuccessful Monday. The date of the next state inspection of the store here is unknown. Mr. Mazango said Food Lion hired an independent exterminator to inspect the Front Royal facility. They perform weekly examinations of the store for any evidence of rodents. “They go over the store with a fine-tooth comb,” he said, and “absolutely no evidence of any rodents” has been found for two weeks. The most recent inspection was performed last week just as the news of the state charges became public. The Food Lion spokesman said the company has fought the rodent problem in several ways. Besides bringing Mr. Armbrister in, they have located the source of rodent entry and closed it. They have stepped up patrol of shelves and storage areas by Food Lion personnel and have taken other precautions, including placement of all stored items on wooden pallets. Mr. Mazango said, “There has never been any danger to customers” and denied that mice-gnawed food had been sold, as had been reported elsewhere. “Personnel removed any such food before it was sold,” he said, noting that Food Lion was not charged with selling gnawed food. Also, he denied any evidence of rats inside the store, but said the problem with mice had been corrected. Food Lion has hired a lawyer and expects to contest the charges in court but Mr. Mazango declined further comment. But the Food Lion spokesman said he checked with Mr. Armbrister Monday afternoon and that the manager had not noticed any drop in weekend sales.

Published by Arundel Newspapers, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. THURSDAY. AUGUST20.1987 Guest column Federal policy spurred Va. energy ‘turf war’ By HENRY N. BUTLER and JERRY ELLIG Rappahannock Neva Contributing Writer* One of the strangest special-interest wars ever created by federal policy on the state level occurred in Virginia recently when Virginia Power won approval to build its new Chesterfield 7 power plant south of F.ichmond. Virginia’s State Corporation Commission signed off on Virginia Power’s application over the sometimes boisterous protests of independent electricity generators. The source of the conflict over Chesterfield 7 was a piece of federal legislation passed in 1978, the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act. The act sought to promote more efficient energy production by encouraging cogeneration, the production of electricity from heat given off as a byproduct of other industrial processes such as waste disposal and chemical manufacturing. Regulations established under the law require electric utilities to buy power from independent cogenerators instead of building new power plants wherever cogenerators can produce electricity as cheaply as the new plants could. As a result, cogenerators can make more money if \Y*ey c«n Veep utilities {ram producing electricity more efficiently. That’s good for cogenerators, but hardly good for utility customers. In Virginia Power’s view, Chesterfield 7 offered an unusual opportunity to keep electric rates down because a shut-down Virginia Power plant already occupied the site. Consumers would get double savings, for the utility could generate electricity more cheaply at Chesterfield, and force cogenerators to become more efficient as well. Virginia Power was so confident about the savings that it even offered to keep the cost of the new plant out of its rate base so that its stockholders, hot ratepayers, would take the risk if the plant turned out to be more expensive than anticipated. In an industry not known for cost containment, the utility has apparently exercised good judgment on these matters in the past few years. Its rates have fallen from 30 percent above the national average in 1980 to more than 6 percent below the average today. The average household in its service area pays $69 a month for electricity, compared to a national average of $74. The new plant will hardly bar purchases from independents. Virginia Power President Jack Ferguson told a congressional subcommittee in May that the company counts on cogenerators to supply two-thirds of its increases in power needs by 1992. The prices independent power sources receive are usually set by administrative estimates based on what it would have cost utilities to build their own plants. Virginia lets utilities and cogenerators negotiate prices but requires the two parties to take into account the utility’s costs of producing electricity in new plants. That requirement made Virginia Power’s proposal for a new, efficient natural gas-fueled plant a threat to cogenerators because cogenerators’ prices would be based on the new plant’s estimated costs rather than the higher costs of plants using other fuels. It would also take away some of the cogenerators’ business. So when Virginia Power went before the State Corporation Commission for permission to build the new plant, cogenerators flocked to Richmond to oppose the obvious threat to their competitive position. Applied Energy Services, an Arlington-based cogeneration firm which has tried unsuccessfully to get contracts with Virginia Power, hauled in its analysts to dispute the utility’s natural gas price predictions. The predictions were too low, they said, making gas-fired plants look cheaper than coal-fired plants, which AES operates. AES argued that Virginia Power should be required to assume that coal plants are less expensive than gas plants when it plans and negotiates to buy power. Fairfax County and Newport News complained as well. Both plan to generate electricity from garbage. However, Fairfax County recently agreed to sell electricity to Virginia Power at prices based on Chesterfield 7 costs. The real shame of these regulatory tennis matches is t}i$ they’re a so unnecessary. If the price* utilities * pay cogenerators were set by competitive bidding, there would be less motivation for cogenerators to beg bureaucrats to prohibit new construction by utilities. Ratepayers in states setting cogenerators’ prices artificially high have been less fortunate than Virginians. In Texas, for example, Houston Power and Lighting gets 20 percent of its electricity from cogenerators. The company estimates it will pay $750 million-more for electricity over the next eight years than it would have if it had built its own plants. Some states, such as California, Connecticut and Massachusetts, have tried to avoid or belatedly correct these kinds of problems by promoting competitive bidding. On the national level, Martha Heese, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, has gone on record in favor of competition. She even suggests dropping many existing limitations on who is permitted to sell power to utilities. But deregulation-minded regulators have to act within the law, and it’s not yet clear how much competition is “legal.” Without really trying, Congress created a “multi-billion dollar business that is providing a majority of the new generating capacity in several large regions of the country,” according to Ms. Heese. Virginia Power’s customers are lucky the State Corporation Commission opted for efficiency. They’d be even better off it the federal law encouraged the new electricity entrepreneurs to compete in the marketplace instead of attempting to short-circuit competitors’ plans through the state regulatory process.

BET AND JAKE JONES Sperryville i—Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock Newt photo/Cndy Mahan IN ORCHARDS THROUGHOUT the county, apple bins are lined up, ready for the fall harvest. Witch hunts alleged ANNAPOLIS, Md. — State Delegate Clarence Davis has endorsed an effort by followers of political extremist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. of Virginia to expose alleged witch hunts against the perennial presidential candidate, according to a LaRouche-affiliated publication. Davis, an east Baltimore Democrat, was identified in a magazine published by the Human Rights Fund of Leesburg, as one of 21 North American charter members and the only elected public official on a panel called the International Commission to Investigate Human Rights Violations in the United States. The 44-year-old Maryland lawmaker denied Friday that he actually joined the group, although he said he “very strongly” supports its mission. He said he had no plans to protest the membership listing. LaRouche, who was indicted July 2 by a federal grand jury in Boston, pleaded innocent Tuesday to a charge of conspiring to obstruct a federal probe into an alleged $1 million credit card fraud scheme to finance his 1984 political campaign. Davis said he thinks the Justice Department has violated LaRouche’s constitutional rights. “They’re handling the LaRouche thing like the Gestapo,” he said. “You can’t let them handle it like they were the Klan.” The Washington-based commission, founded March 21, declared in the magazine that it will launch an “independent, impartial investigation” of alleged human rights abuses against LaRouche and his associates during possibly “one of the greatest political witch hunts of this century.” Davis confirmed that, as the magazine claimed, he signed an appeal by the commission for a meeting with President Reagan to stop “all unconstitutional activities” by federal officials in the LaRouche case. But he said he has not attended any commission meetings, given money to any LaRouche-affiliated group, or had more than a few telephone discussions about “human rights” issues with LaRouche supporters. “I’m not a joiner,” said Davis, who has been active in such mainstream groups as the American Legion, the National Association of Black Veterans and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “I associate with issues, not groups,” he said. “If the KKK came up with an issue I can agree on, I’d support them. Asked why he was listed as a commission member, Davis said his expressions of support may have been misunderstood. “I think they stretched something,” he said. Political platforms of LaRouche and his followers have called for a return to traditional moral values, an end to “the drug lobby” and imposition of the death penalty for drug dealers. In addition, they have urged a program of mandatory testing and quarantining of victims of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Davis said he agrees with many of the social and moral positions LaRouche has advocated over the years, especially those against illicit drug use and the spread of AIDS. Others ‘idiots’ CONCORD, N.H. — Lyndon LaRouche, who skipped the January announcement in Concord of his presidential bid because of his security concerns and did not appear in the leadoff primary state at all during his 1984 try, is back on the stump. Two days after pleading innocent to federal obstruction-of-justice charges, LaRouche on Thursday held his third New Hampshire news conference in two weeks to discuss his “probable success” in his fourth White House bid. “I have to become president because there’s nobody else around,” said LaRouche, labeling his foes for the Democratic presidential nomination and most of those seeking the Republican nod “idiots.” “I am not a fringe candidate,” he said. LaRouche, who long has predicted imminent worldwide financial collapse and espouses intricate international conspiracy theories, has rarely appeared publicly because he said he feared for his safety. He still sees many enemies out to get him Across Virginia and expressed weariness with the “very eerie kind of life” he said he must lead. He insisted that federal investigations of his finances and his organizations are “a politically motivated hatchet job.” One reason, he said, is that “The Soviets are demanding my head. Therefore, since (Reagan administration officials) hate me anyway, they say why not deliver his head and make the Soviets happy, and maybe we can cut a deal more easily with Moscow.” LaRouche said his indictment was partially the result of^ tfov'ert operations conducted by Lt. Col'. Oliver North and the National Security Council, with cooperation from the U.S. Justice Department. All this was. sanctioned under a 1981 executive order from Reagan, LaRouche said. “Everything that you thought was bad about Nixon and much worse is going on under Reagan,” he said. A Justice Department investigation of LaRouche culminated with a Boston grand jury indictment against him on charges of conspiring to derail a federal investigation into whether he and his aides conducted a $1 million credit card fraud scheme to finance his 1984 presidential campaign. LaRouche, 64, a Rochester native, pleaded innocent Tuesday and was freed on $20,000 bail posted by a supporter from Pennsylvania who had never met him. Thirteen of his associates and five of his organizations have been charged in the alleged scheme, while federal officials in April seized his Leesburg, Va., headquarters and other LaRouche offices in an attempt to recover $16 million in outstanding contempt-of-court fines. An Alexandria, Va., grand jury also is investigating LaRouche’s finances and income taxes. LaKouche reiterated Thurdsay his insistence that he has no income and depends on “generous friends that I have.” “I’ve lived an austere life like a monk,” LaRouche said. Asked how he funds his extensive worldwide travels, LaRouche replied, “It’s taken care of. Normally they just say you’ve got a ticket, will you accept the trip? I go. If I say yes I’ll go, they’ll say okay, here’s your airline, get off of the plane, get on the plane and I go.” He didn’t say who “they” are, but he added: “Oh, it’s a very eerie kind of life. I’ve been living this way for about a dozen years or so. And at worst, it really gets to you, the security environment, it gets to you. At worst it’s like being in prison. But after a while, you get used to it. You learn to live with it.” LaRouche also vowed to never drop out of the presidential race. “I’m an old fighter, you know, and the more challenge I have, the better I work,” LaRouche said, laughing. But he added, “There’s no denying the charges are damaging.” Asked how he would pay for his 1988 campaign, LaRouche replied, “I believe in providence.” The money would come “from contributors, from just ordinary people. We have a fairly good following, we have an active following of 40,000 to 50,000 people throughout the United States.” “After Iowa and New Hampshire (the leadoff presidential caucuses and primary, next February) is when any significant amount of money will be advanced toward my campaign,” LaRouche said. ‘Two or three million (dollars) will carry me all the way to the convention.” Campaign begun to stop drug use RICHMOND —The reconstituted Governor’s Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Problems met Aug. 6 to prepare an ambitious campaign designed to steer school-age children away from drugs. The focus of the council's efforts should be'I on community-based programs “with innovative ideas and approaches,” said Attorney General:. Mary Sue Terry, the 17-member council's chairwoman. “If we have learned anything from our failure to cope successfully with the problems ofdrug and alcohol abuse, we have learned that government does not have all the answers,” Ms. < Terry said. Accordingly, she said, the year-old Com-, monwealth Alliance for Drug Rehabilitation and Education, or CADRE, would be expanded with • a new CADRE Foundation. The foundation will be a public-private partnership that includes business and professional • leaders who will help raise funds for substance abuse programs in schools, she said. The initial CADRE Foundation effort willinclude a statewide advertising campaign developed and donated by the Richmond-based Finne-.,gan and Agee agency. The agency “will identify the print and elec-,tronic media that .young Virginians pay attention11 to, and will tailor a campaign to their needs,” ■! Ms. Terry said. “We need to persuade young people as. • never before that drugs and alcohol are not. cool,” the attorney general said. “And that’s a tremendous task.” The council also was told about a number of-, state programs already under way to combat : substance abuse, including efforts by the departments of Education, Social Services, State Po-. lice, Motor Vehicles and Mental Health. Col. Robert L. Suthard, superintendent of state police, said narcotics are stronger, users are younger, and distributors are more aggresr sive than ever before. He said the growth of substance abuse from. the marijuana problem of the 1960s to widespread cocaine use in the 1980s has made it one of the top priorities for law enforcement agendes. Drugs increasingly are factors in other crimes, Col. Suthard said. A recent state police identification program for drug transporters resulted in seizing $5 mil-, lion worth of cocaine in a car traveling dong In-.. terstate 95 in late June, the superintendent said. He said police also monitor airports for drug trafficking and use dogs trained to sniff for illegal narcotics. Terminal planned , near Front Royal Governor Gerald L. Baliles and the Virginia Port Authority last week announced plans to ; create an inland terminal that will be known as. the Virginia Inland Port (VIP) near Front Royal. Based on engineering costs and proposals yet ' to be submitted, the VPA is targeting the VIP to ' be operational by summer 1988. The agency expects to make a decision on the method of opera-' tion before the first of the year. The intermodal facility will function similarly to other inland hubs by attracting truck traffic within a surrounding region of about 200 miles and transferring that cargo to rail for transport between VIP mid the marine terminals at the Port of Hampton Roads. "Steamship lines that call at the ports of Vir- • ginia have a base of cargo in Maryland, Pennsyl- ! vania, Ohio and West Virginia that they need to protect,” said J. Robert Bray, VPA executive di- ; rector. "VIP lets them do that at a cost is ’ attractive to them.” Mr. Bray also emphasized the value of VIP to Virginia shippers in the Hampton Roads hinterland. He said the truck and rail combination of! the inland terminal will give them a competitive ; alternative by saving time and cutting the costs - of going up and down the Chesapeake Bay. Options have been signed on two tracts totaling 150 acres, with Norfolk Southern Corpora- : tion rail tracks on the east and a four-lane divided highway, Route 522, on the west. Route ; 522 connects with Interstate 66, an east-west route which connects with Interstate 81, a north. south route a few miles west in Strasburg. In addition to the design of the rail cars, deci-1 sions remain to be made regarding the terminal operator and purchase of operating equipment. . Warren County officials have also been briefed ; on planning the design of the facility itself.

History on the auction block Auction features three presidential possessions \ By CAIWr DYSON i .. Arund*1 SUfr Writer j It s a chance for the average citizen to take home items that belonged to America’s greatest history makers. I During a special sale at The Aucti<T Bam in Catlett Aug. 22, owners Flash and Bernice Pearson will offer potential museum pieces — a document signed by Abraham Lincoln, a book purchased by George Washington and portraits of Jefferson Davis an^l John S. Mosby. | Three presidents are represented in the auction. There’s the Father of Our Country and his 1788 edition of Capt. James Cook’s “Voyages ’Round The Worid.” This particular book would be valuable enbugh, but “God love ol’ George, he signed it on the third page,” Mrs. Pgarson said. 5 There’s Honest Abe, the 16th president, whose quest for human rights and the circumstances of his untimely death earned him a special pllice in many Americans’ hearts. A w|r document pertaining to an injured soldier’s promotion to paymaster bears his signature, which Mrs. Pearson said has been authenticated by three noted Lincoln experts. S One man who heard about the upcoming sale set out from Ohio to find the auction bam on Route 28 in Virginia that offered an authentic Lincoln document. Usually, the item is in a vault, but Mrs. Pearson had it out that particular day and when the man saw it, he broke out in goose bumps and a cold sweat, Mrs. Pearson .'recalled. He owned several historic documents, but not a Lincoln and was very interested in purchasing it. To many Southerners, however, . the< signed portrait of Davis, the president of the Confederacy, bears as much historical poignance as the Washington and Lincoln pieces. And there’s no doubt that the Mosby portrait and J.E.B. Stuart’s carved four-poster bed will bring plenty of excitement — and high prides. Auction-goers will find an assortment of items from the Civil War era, whether their sentiments lie with the Confederacy or the Union. Bidders can hold out. for the headliner items, or puruse other 19th century memorabilia — swords, rifles, muskets, uniforms or diaries — that more than 40 consignors will bring to the bam. The Lincoln document, which also was signed by Secretary of War E.M. Stanton, a Union surgeon, brigadier general and 13 soldiers in the 140th Regiment, Pennsylvania, is sealed under glass. •It concerns a private, William S. Shallenberger, who was injured several times on the war’s notorious battlefields — Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness. In the last battle, Shallenberger received a crippling injury, but the surgeon thought the soldier could continue to serve the unit in a different capacity. *sHe recommended that Shallenberger be appointed paymaster. Since this soldier would be handling money — and the government was cautious about who dips into its coffers — the recommendation went clou* to the top. -Surprisingly, it took only one month for the order to go through the appointed channels and reach the president. Lincoln’s inscription reads: “If the services of this applicant can be made useful, let him be appointed. — A. Lincoln.” It’s dated Oct. 27,1864. .The promotion was ratified by th# War Department in January 1805. When Shallenberger retired, thp department presented him a silver tea service, which his descendants from the Catlett area still own. The Catlett family, who didn’t wapt to be named, gave Mrs. Pearson the Lincoln document to auction because the family planned to move and didn’t want the burden of protecting it. ♦.More pieces followed — a letter frqm Ulysses S. Grant, battle drums :• Correction In the Aug. 6 article about / the Rappahannock rescue squad’s receiving the Call of the Year award, it was incorv rectly stated that Hubert S. Gilkey and his son Bert were the first two rescue personnel ** on the scene of the truck/car accident last July. t Actually, Hubert Gilkey and Richie Burke were the ~~ first to arrive. They responded from a job site near '* the accident scene. As the J\ first line-officer on the scene, Capt. Burke, of the Sperryville VFD, took command of the accident scene and ad*; vised the dispatcher to request that the Pegasus medevac helicopter be dispatched. The Rappahannock News regrets the error. and sticks, tintypes of soldiers and authentic furniture from the Hartwood Plantation near Fredericksburg. One package chronicles the history of a private in the Army of the Potomac. It includes his train tickets, letters and a special bill allowing him to cross enemy lines to deliver whiskey to his family in Fauquier County. On auction date, “the Civil War will come alive,” Mrs. Pearson said, not only because of the historical items, but also because the Pearsons will recreate the 1860s. The bam, on Routes 28 and 806 in Catlett, will open at 9 a.m. for inspection of items. Spectators and diehard antique hunters will get a chance to look over the items. ' At noon, the Pearsons will arrive in a horse-drawn buggy, just as Civil War auctioneers did. In those days, items that were confiscated from farms were sold by the colonels, so Col. and Mrs. Pearson will sell everything that jingles and rattles in that buggy, from chairs and crocks to quilts, blankets, sacks of beans, a chicken, maybe a pig and even a calf. Then, they’ll sell the wagon, and, if it’s a tame horse, they’ll sell that too. Later, the sale moves to the more important items. The Auction Bam, which seats 300, will be airconditioned for the occasion, and the Pearsons will move festivities outside if the crowd’s too large. Outdoors, there will be a church tent manned by people dressed as officers and soldiers of the day. They’ll hand out scripture cards and sell war-time memorabilia. Mrs. Pearson hopes to have a unit of soldiers camped on the 10-acre site and would love to have a cannon announce the beginning of festivities at noon. She’s also trying to convince some church groups to prepare Brunswick stew and watermelon, traditional Civil War fare.

Gas & Oil The Art of Friendshipl Friendship is an art It is rather easy, as someone observed. to attract people and be attracted by them and develop acquaintances. But it takes an artist to keep the process going until deep friendship happens. "If friendships were easy." declared Andrew Greeley, "there would be a lot more of them in the world." And developing deep friendship is not easy because it is an art and no art comes quickly or easily. Aristotle contended that "The business of every art is to bring something into existence, and the practice of any art involves studying how to bring this something into existence." Friendship, as an art, demands patience. Many could-be friendships never happen because people get in a hurry to develop closeness and intimacy. Friendships that rush into intimacy are seldom lasting ones. In our hurried and mobile society we have placed "rush" stickers on the package of friendship without also stenciling "fragile" on it. Ralph Waldo Emerson gives comfort and courage: "Every artist was once anamati IScnptuft SUCH tty Thtt Anwican BOM Sooaty Sunday Isaiah 59:16-21 Monday Jeremiah 31:31-37 Tuesday Jeremiah 33:19-26 Wednesday Ezekiel 34:11-31 Thursday Ezekiel 37:15-28 Friday Hosea 2:14-23 Saturday Hosea 8:1-14 Cogynghii9e7.

ANOTHER CREW OF CARPENTERS is readying two classrooms for their roofs. School lunch time again BY SANDRA RICHARDSON School lunch from home can be a source of food poisoning, unless prepared with care. You may not spot your child’s upset stomach as food poisoning, but rather as a "bug that’s going around.” To avoid problems, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says you have to remember to keep everything clean - hands, utensils, countertops. Wash all thoroughly with soap and hot water. Keep hot foods hot, cold foods cold, and everything dean. Use tongs or fork to place meat, poultry, or cheese in the sandwich. . .do not use your fingers. Fingers spread bacteria, no matter how dean you licked them. rack the bag or lunchbox with perishables such as meat or poultry sandwiches and hardboiled eggs and refrigerate it. The sandwiches will thaw in time for lunch and, in the meantime, help keep the rest of the lunch cool. Do not freeze such things as chips, cookies, tomatoes and lettuce. Add them to the lunch separately. Other ways to keep lunch cold is to use the new commercial gels, or a plastic margarine tub filled with water and frozen, or a plastic bag filled with ice cubes or a can of cold beverage. Use a thermos to keep milk, juice, or drinks cold. Advise your scholar to put lunch in the coolest place possible, out of direct sun and away from warm radiators. Lunch boxes are better than paper bags - they’re easy to keep clean and sanitary, and insulated lunch boxes hold the cold much better than paper bags. If you use brown bags, buy some specifically for lunches and use them only once. Reusing a lunch bag or a grocery shopping bag can contaminate lunch (taken from Consumer Clips - October, 1986). Moms are constantly looking for nutritious snacks to serve their youngsters when they come home starving from school. Granola is an excellent snack. It offers fiber, vitamins, protein, iron, calcium, as well as carbohydrate for energy. Granola does equally well in the microwave oven. Other variations can include the addition of buckwheat oats, wheat flakes, or wheat germ, and the sub stitution of vegetable oil for butter. Unsweetened granolas depend on dried fruit alone for sweetening so honey is omitted. Chocolate Chip Granola Bars These bars stay moist for several days.

head back to school Sept. 8 ttuying clothes for youngsters Guidelines for selecting children’s garments BySANDRA RICHARDSON ®I*^n,*®n Ajint, Home Economic* Clothing needs change quickly for children not only because of their physical growth, but also because of ""■ried interests and activities. Additions to a youngster’s wardrobe need to be durable and versatile. Invest in clothing that can be worn for several types of activities. Look for clothing designs that allow for comfort, growth and safety. A prime consideration is clothing care. Easy-care fabrics provide a low-maintenance wardrobe for children and hassle-free laundry days for you. Check labels for fabric content and care instructions before purchasing. A care label should tell you what fiber or fibers are used in the garment and how to care for it. Hang tags should include information about the garment such as whether it is colorfast, spot and starn resistant, crease resistant, shrink controlled or how much it can shrink. For easy care, permanent press clothes are a good choice for children because little or no ironing is needed. Other fabrics, such as terries, knits or corduroys, can ala** go ( straight from the dryer to a closet or drawer without having to cross the ironing board. Ensure purchases of durable garments by checking their construction. Clothes cut on the grain have threads crossing at right angles. These clothes hang straight and retain their shape better than clothes cut on the diagonal, or off the grain. Seams should have about 12 stitches per inch and be tied at the ends to prevent splitting. Felled seams with two rows of stitching lend extra strength to garments, especially sleepwear and play clothes. Garments last longer if they have reinforcements at stress points: knees, elbows, crotch, pockets and buttonholes. Look for signs of reinforcement, such as patches, extra stitching, bar tacks, metal rivets, linings and interfacings. Get longer service from clothing by selecting styles with features of growth allowance. Unfitted waistlines, adjustable straps and extra material in hems and cuffs extend garments as a child grows. A feature that accommodates both growth and comfort is sleeve design. Styles with room to grow include raglan, kimono and gusseted inserts. Children should be seen and not hurt. Therefore, dress a child with safety in mind. Check for trims that are sewn securely to the garment to prevent accidents. Pants and jeans are less likely to catch on playthings, such as bike pedals, if the legs are hemmed instead of cuffed. Consider light and brightly colored outer gar* ments that are easier for drivers to see on dark days. Conversely, look for a raincoat and snowsuit with a separate hood or hat so that a child’s vision is not obstructed. As a child’s dexterity increases, select clothes with self-help features. Examples include big buttons, front zippers, elastic waistbands and suspenders. In addition, a child should be able to distinguish easily between the fronts and backs of garments. A child, when old enough, should be involved as much as possible in planning shopping trips for clothes and the actual selections. Also teaching a youngster how to care for new clothes will pay off later as a child increasingly assumes responsibility for a wardrobe and its care. GED testing to be held The General Educational Development (GED Test),for those persons who were once enrolled in school but who did not complete graduation requirements, will be given on Sept. 14.

Main St. Culpeper, Va. 703-825-4707 3 new teachers at Wakefield Wakefield School in Huntly has announced the appointment of three new teachers for the 1987-88 school year. John Higginson of Woodstock, Vt, will become the fourth memh^r of Wakefield’s growing French faculty. Mr. Higginson is a graduate of the Groton School and Harvard University. He has pursued graduate studies in French at the Sorbonne and the Alliance Francaise and at the Ecole Francaise of Middlebury College in Vermont. Mr. Higginson taught French and Latin for seven years at the Noble and Greenough Preparatory School in Dedham, Mass. After leaving Noble and Greenough, Mr. Higginson coached the varsity lightweight crew at Harvard University for six years. Most recently, he has been the rowing coach at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Since an early age, Mr. Higginson has had an interest in sailing and rowing. At Groton he was the captain of the school’s undefeated crew team. Between prep school and college, Higginson and two friends took two years off and sailed around the world on the Brigantine “Yankee.” His six years of coaching at Harvard were particularly successful: the varsity eight came in second twice and won the Eastern sprints the other four years; his lightweight crews went to Henley three times during this period. Wakefield Headmaster William Lynn said that with Higginson as a valuable resource in crew coaching, the school is going to study the possibility of starting a rowing program. Mr. Higginson, his wife and daughter will live in Clarke County. Rob Sherwood has been appointed to the Wakefield faculty as instructor in Classical Literature, English Composition and Logic. Mr. Sherwood is a graduate of Phillips Academy at Andover, Massachusetts, and of Stanford University. He has done graduate work in film production at American University and at U.C. L.A., where he received his Master of Fine Arts Degree in 1979. For several years he worked as a screenwriter and completed eight feature scripts, including a television movie-of-the-week that was aired on ABC television in September 1986 called “Challenge of a Lifetime.” Later he worked m a teacher-assistant and adjunct-instructor in literature and in filmmaking at Pepperdine University and at the University of Southern California. Most recently he has taught highschool English at the Washington Preparatory High School in Los Angeles. Mr. Sherwood and his wife and small son will live in Warrenton. The third new faculty member at Wakefield is Emily Maxworthy, who will teach the second grade, replacing long-time second-grade teacher Mary Jane Fawcett. Mrs. Maxworthy spent much of her youth in Jar pan, where her father was a visiting professor of English. After returning to this countiy, she attended college and was graduated from Beaver College in 1966 with a B.Sc. degree in elementary education. Her professional experience includes 10 years of teaching elementary grades in public and private schools in New Jersey, Massachusetts, and most recently in Pasadena, California. In Pasadena, she served for many years as president of both the Youth Music Council and of the Art Workshop Council. Mrs. Maxworthy will live in her family's long-time home near Warrenton. When your child starts school BySANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics The first day of school is perhaps one of the most critical in the life of a child. A child’s future attitude toward school is established on this first day. Parents play an important role in helping their child to develop selfconfidence and a good self-image Equally important is helping the child to develop good feelings toward parents, authority figures, and relationships toward other children. Giving young people lots of love, understanding and support will go a long way toward making school a very positive experience. This marks the beginning of a child’s world that parents cannot fully share. Parents cannot always supply all of the answers, nor can they protect a child from the difficulties, quarrels, frustrations and disappointments that arise at school from time to time. They can, however, convey a positive attitude toward school and offer praise for the ac Recycle.

Friends schedule river clean-up The Friends of the Rappahannock will sponsor their second annual river clean-up on Saturday, August 29. All participants must sign in at Clore Brothers Outfitters on River Road in Fredericksburg or at Rappahannock River Campground on Route 683 in Richardsville. Participants must arrive by 9:30 a.m. on the 29th. Clean-up teams will be staged from these two locations. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required. The Rappahannock River will be cleaned from the old Route 29 bridge in Remington to the 1-95 bridge in Fredericksburg.

Rappahannock Canoes, Rappahannock River Campground and Clore Brothers Outfitters will provide free canoes and shuttle as well as free shuttle for participants owning canoes. Forty-seven miles of river will be cleaned in segments varying from three to eight miles. All state-owned launching posts along that 47-mile section will also be cleaned. The tentative finish time is 4:30 p.m. A chicken barbecue will be served at Clore Brothers Outfitters at a charge of $3 per person for participants who begin their trip from that staging point. Tickets must be purchased there before beginning clean-up activities. Last year the barbecue received rave reviews. For those signing in at Rappahannock River Campground, hot dogs, baked beans, cole slaw, chips and drinks will be served without charge. All children participating must be at least 12 years old and must be accompanied by an adult. Volunteers should bring gloves and wear shoes at all times on the river. Old boots or sneakers are recommended. Trash bags will be provided. Other desirable equipment includes a hat, suntan lotion, insect repellent, trash picks, stiff nets with handles and potato rakes. All participants should bring plenty to drink, and a picnic lunch is recommended. Participants will be issued life vests and must read and sign a release form for themselves and children in their care. Volunteers who cannot swim or who do not feel “seaworthy” for other reasons will be assigned to clean the put-ins. The Friends of the Rappahannock are also requesting pickups and other trucks to haul trash removed from the river. The trash will be taken to Rappahannock River Campground or to Clore Brothers Outfitters for subsequent removal to appropriate landfills. These rivers are unique sanctuaries. Most people who paddle or fish these 47 miles of river are awed by their pristine beauty. Despite that appearance, last year many truckloads of trash were removed by diligent volunteers searching the river bottom and banks. This annual effort will make a significant difference in how the river appears to humans who venture on to it and may have an even greater impact on the creatures who call it home. It is a day of work - but it is also a day of play and a day of rewards. Join the Friends of the Rappahannock! Make new friends and catch a glimpse of some denizens of river and wilderness whose thanks can only be expressed by our knowledge that they are there.

ASCS accepts late reports T. V. Williams Jr., chairman of the Rappahannock County ACSC Committee, said late-filed acreage reports will be accepted as long as the farmer pays the cost of verifying the acreage and there is physical evidence of production. Mr. Williams said July 15 was the last day for farmers to report their 1987 planted acres and some producers in the county have not filed a crop report this year. Late reports are subject to mandatory spotcheck. Crop reports are used by ASCS to determine program compliance and to document crop-acreage bases. Before farm-program participants receive price support loans, deficiency payments and other benefits, they are required to report crops and acreages planted, the uses to be made of these crops and cropland acres to be devoted to the acreage conservation reserve. Mr. Williams said crop reporting is very important to farm program participants because without the report, they are not eligible for benefits on 1987 program crops. The acreage report determines the level at which farmers are eligible for progam payments and other benefits. Acreage reports currently on file indicate that 20 partidtpating farms in Rappahannock County are certified and eligible for 1987 farm program benefits.

August garden notes By BIRGITT THORNHILL Extension Agent Herbaeceous Plants: • Take cuttings of roses to root, 69 inches long. Using a sharp knife, remove all but top 2-3 leaves, insert 4-6 inches deep in well-prepared soil in bright light out of the sun. Firm, water well, cover with inverted glass jar. • Plan changes in your perennial plantings. Autumn is usually the best time for moving and dividing perennials as the gardening pace has slowed considerably and it offers the opportunity to add new bulbs to your design. Peonies, bleeding heart, and Oriental poppies resent being disturbed, so plan to work around them without disturbance. • Don’t let your hybrid annual flowers go to seed. This weakens the plants and reduces bloom. In addition, the seed are not desirable to save as the plant will ordinarily be very different from the parent and of poorer quality. • Select a good site for spring flower bulbs. For daffodils dig the soil 12 inches deep in a sunny location. Work in bone meal and peat moss. • Sow annuals for winter flowering indoors if you have a greenhouse or bright southern window. Calendulas bloom well and keep long. Browallia, mignonette, ageratum, marigolds, snapdragons and many others are good subjects. • Do not mulch Oriental poppies. They prefer hot, sun-baked ground while “resting.” • Keep roots of lilies cool for best growth. Unless foliage of surrounding plants shades the roots, mulch the ground with grass clippings or similar weed-free material. • If you are planning to take some garden plants indoors to provide for early fall bloom, use a sharp knife to root prune them now to a size a little smaller than the pot. Remove all buds and flowers and cut back the top growth severely. Water well until ready to lift. • Many plants growing in the ground can be successfully dug and placed in pots. However, this is generally more difficult and usually requires a severe pruning to insure survival. Some plants are slow to recover from such treatment and may not give good flowers during the winter. Cuttings taken from these plants started in late August and early September should make attractive, bushy pot plants before frosts kill the parent plant. • Cut strawflowero intended for dried flower arrangements when the blooms are only half open. Tie small bundles of the flowers together and hang them upside down in a well ventilated place to dry. • Hot dry weather can bring on an increase in the population of red spider mites. Inspect roses, evergreens and marigolds for signs of pale green coloration. Verify the presence of these pests by holding a white sheet of paper underneath foliage and briskly tap the branch. Severely infested annuals should be removed from the garden and destroyed. Perennials may require treatment. If infestation is light, mites may be discouraged by a forcefill direct spray from the water hose. • When buying spring flowering bulbs a good guideline to use is ‘‘biggest is best” in regard to bulb size. Be careful about so-called “bargain bulbs” as they may be small or of inferior quality. • Plant bulbs of the Hardy Am aryllis or Magic Lily in August as soon as received at a depth of 5 inches. They will produce foliage in the spring which dies down in the late summer. The lily-like, pink flowers borne on three-foot stalks in clusters of six to nine will appear in August. The bulbs will live almost indefinitely and prefer not to be disturbed. Woody Ornamentals: • Inspect trunks and branches of dogwood for injured bark or fine dust being pushed from burrows in trunk by borers. • If the leaves of euonymus turn yellow and drop, check the stems and underside of the leaves for tiny, needle-like white insects with a scattering of small, brown, shell-like shapes. This is euonymous scale (males are white; females brown). Climbing euonymous is more susceptible than most upright forms. Contact your local Extension office for approved control methods. • When it is necessary to transplant woody plants in hot weather, cover them with a sheet after they are planted. Dampen the sheet two or three times a day with the hose, and transplants should suffer less setback from transpiration losses. • If azaleas look chlorotic (pale green to yellow) check pH. They need acid soil as alkalinity locks up soil iron needed for green color. Use agricultural sulfur to reduce pH. • Water shrubs deeply once a week during August. Many plants (camellias, rhododendrons) are developing next season’s flower buds at this time. Immature berries of hollies and pyracantha may be lost if too dry. Lawns: • August and September is the time to rejuvenate or plant home lawns. EE HEARING TESTS Winchester: Mon.-Fri. 9-5, Sat. 9-12.

Chevrolet—Peugeot 347-9000 By Craig Tufts, National Wildlife Federation Black snakes pose no danger A year ago, my sons spotted what appeared to be the black soaker hose slithering around the grape trellis and heading for the vegetable garden. The six-foot black rat snake that they understandably mistook for the hose didn’t stay in the yard for long but its visit was cause for wonder, some anxiety and dozens of questions for weeks to come. In a Backyard Wildlife Habitat, the first visit by any new animal neighbor is a proclamation that your hard labor has paid off. Mother Nature need not be relegated solely to national parks and wildlife refuges. In the eastern United States, the black rat snake is generally the largest snake and is also commonly seen. Its eight-foot length is impressive. Its ability to climb trees is always somewhat disconcerting. A sevenfooter ascending an oak gives your yard that aura of Amazonia that even temperatures in the 90s and high humidity cannot duplicate. Like many large snakes, the black rat is a constrictor, a squeezer of its prey. On farm and in feed lots, its diet includes rats and mice. In suburbia, rabbits, chipmunks and birds power its growth. These snakes are active from the last spring frost to the first of the fall season. During the winter, most rat snakes in a given geographic area hibernate together. Snakes don’t respond as directly as songbirds to efforts to attract them. You can’t find a snake feeder at your local garden center. You can however modify your property to encourage snakes and many other kinds of inoffensive but misunderstood animals. Dense foliage close to the ground offers feeding and hiding areas. Exposed bedrock, stone walls or rock piles provide places to overwinter, bask in the sun, search for food and escape from predators. Many of us apply a thick layer of bark mulch to our planting beds. This is the ideal place for a female snake to lay a clutch of 20-90 eggs. Upon hatching in late summer, the attractively patterned black and light gray young remain in the cosy mulch for weeks before venturing away from their nursery in search of insects and frogs. If you reside in an area where there are many venomous snakes, you may want to eliminate log and rock piles and other snake-attracting habitat. Should you wish to have the greatest number of nesting songbirds on your property, then attracting black rat snakes will be counterproductive. My family eigoys the occasional snakes we see as well as families of rabbits, chipmunks and bluebirds. Yes, our snake visitors dine on other residents but that’s what happens in the suburban outback. For us, it's fhn and always interesting to have the outbade on the back steps. What others might view as disturbing, we take in as the next chapter in a story that just never ends. for a Backyard Wildlife Habitat information packet, contact the National Wildlife Federation, Dept.

Slaughter responded that the bill passed by the House did not/ exempt subscribers to those types of programs from the tax which will pay for the catastrophic health care program. “Fd like to try and get that provision changed. It amounts to . double coverage.” Mr. Slaughter added that he continues to be concerned about the health of the Medicare program a few years down the road, since the best estimates currently are that it will be out of money within 15 yean unless changes are made in the program. "Social Security,” he said, "is stronger than it was a few years ago, but Medicare is in a precarious situation.” Security must be tightened Several members of the audience questioned continuing revelations about private companies selling sensitive technology to communist ' countries, most recently the Toshiba scandal. The Japanese electronics giant admitted that one of its subsidiaries sold restricted goods in violation of export controls. Two top Japanese officials in the company subsequently resigned in disgrace. “We need to tighten up on technology transfers,” the congressman said, “especially to communist countries. We have passed bills to do that.” Regarding the Toshiba scandal, he added that “I don’t know if we can retaliate effectively. I hope we can. The Japanese government’s reaction,” he noted, “was better than they have been given credit for.” He pointed out the “unprecedented” resignations of the two senior officials responsible for the sale. Another question dealt with the government’s power to restrict United States firms from “backing the Soviets ... it seems like treason” - for example, the Exxon Corporation’s refining Soviet oil and then selling it to the Sandanista government in Nicaragua. Does the government have the power to enforce such restrictions, Mr. Slaughter was asked. “I agree with you,” he replied, “But the answer is no. Quite a few people advocate American/Soviet trade.” Concerning the oil sales, he said, “We absolutely should not be doing it . . . (but) I don’t know if we’ve got the support to pass legislation.” Cooperating in foreign affairs Mr. Slaughter said that one of the^gst pressing problems facing the country is finding compromise in the conduct of foreign policy. “We need the leadership of the president,” while he acknowledged that Congress has some oversight role as well But “we have to convince Congress not to be a Secretary of State.” “A bi-partisan foreign policy is what we badly need... I think people across the country would like us to have a bi-partisan policy... Congress needs to have a will to do that.” Rep: Slaughter said that he feels one result of the Iran/Contra hearings is that Congress will be more receptive to policy compromises. He suggested that the recent Reagan/Wright proposal on peace negotiations in Nicaragua will provide an early test of the willingness of Congress to compromise. He stressed that it is "absolutely essential” that the Contras not be disarmed before the Nicaraguan military is reduced to a "normal level for a Central American country.” If that is not done, he warned, "the Sandanistas will grip the country more firmly than before, and ye will have lost the country.” A "volatile” situation Addressing cooperation in foreign policy, Rep. Slaughter identified the Persian Gulf as "an example of how complicated these situations can be. I don’t know,” he continued, "how much Congress would be willing to take on that responsibility.” He listed the many countries involved, the distance from the United States, and the unpredictable political situation in some of the neighboring countries as factors which increase the risks. Mr. Slaughter reminded the audience that he "didn't see the necessity” of reflagging Kuwait’s oil tankers. “If we don't get the coope-. ration of Arab states, l*m dubious whether we should stay. We should not make commitments which cannot be changed from time to time," he said. "I think we should lean on the allies’’ for help, he added. Newbill Miller observed that “the only thing which worries me • about our Persian Gulf presence is not having a presence in the Persian Gulf. The Russians are right there.” Jesse Pond addressed several concerns to the congressman, telling him of his displeasure with the Navy’s action in relieving the captain of the U.S.S. Stark from duty after an Iraqi missile attack on his ship. Also, he said, he is distressed over the Navy’s lack of minesweeping capability. “The Navy is over there - in harm’s way - and they’re not prepared.” As a Navy veteran who served during World War II, Mr. Pond told of his visit to see the newly-commissioned aircraft carrier U.S.S. Teddy Roosevelt last year. The carrier and its task force cost some $2 bilHhh, Mr. Pond said, “and my only thought was, What a target’.” Mr. Slaughter explained that some of the problem rests with the understanding among the NATO al- • lies that if the European countries would build the small ships, like minesweepers, the United States would supply the heavy ships. “They Rappahannock Newi photo/Lou Hatter THIS 11.68 POUND CANTALOUPE was grown by Major Cowgill of Flint Hill. His secret? Miracle-Gro plant food, plenty of water and lots of tender care. don’t recognize tide (Persian Gulf situation) as their problem - and we’re left to do the whole job instead of it beinga coordinated Allied operation.” The United States Naval buildup, the congressman continued, was intended to counteract the burgeoning Russian Naval presence. “We didn’t think about this threat,” he admitted. But, Mr. Slaughter pointed out, “we will never have enough money to take care of all the problems.” Addressing other questions from the audience, Mr. Slaughter • Said that the mail to his office is running almost 96 percent in favor of CoWjOHiver. North and Adm. John Poindeifcter, who engaged in questionable activities on behalf of the Nicaraguan Contras and in attempts to rescue the American hostages in Lebanon. Mr. Slaughter added that he would not favor prosecuting the two, calling them loyal officers who acted from what they perceived was the policy of highest levels of the ad ministration. • Called the idea of line-item veto power for the president “a good idea,” although “I don’t see it passing this year.” He suggested that if it is enacted it should be on a trial basis, perhaps for a period of two years. • Said there is still “strong opposition” to any tax increase. He called Mr. Reagan “very, very hard to convince,” adding that if the President vetoes a tax increase he does not feel Congress has the votes to override. • Said he has heard no talk of any new legislation to pressure South Africa to change its policy of apartheid. • Said that he does not feel that there is widespread suppert-in Congress for a ban on nuclear power. It differs according to what part of the country you talk about, he said. “The support comes from areas where nuclear power has not done well,” Mr. Slaughter contended, adding that he hasn’t seen any problems with nuclear power in Virginia. (Continued from Page 1) standard) for a general high school diploma; 23 credits (one over the current standard) for an advanced studies diploma; 23 credits, an average of B or better and successful completion of at least one advanced placement or college level course for a Governor’s seal on the advanced studies diploma. • Access in secondary school to at least two advanced placement . courses or two college level courses for credit. • Preparation on Scholastic Apti; tude Tests, available for all students and including, as a minimum, review of appropriate English and mathematics principles and instruction in taking the tests. • Level One of a foreign language available to all eighth graders. • A program designed to improve the academic achievement and aspirations of culturally disadvantaged students. • Early identification and enrollment of students in a college preparatory program, "including an emphasis on experiences that will motivate disadvantaged and minority students to attend college.” • Instruction, by graduation, designed to help each student achieve "computer literacy. ” • A written plan for teaching appropriate writing skills "at every grade level.” The plan must include specific requirements and culminate with a research paper and concurrent oral presentation in grade 12. In a telephone interview Monday, Dr. Gangel said that the curriculum requirements shouldn’t present compliance problems. RCHS course offerings'pow give youngsters the option of taking 23 credits, and advanced placement classes are already provided in computer programming and calculus. "They might not be 100 percent designated as AP 0010*868,” he conceded, but Rappahannock students who have taken the AP exams have performed comparably to students from other school divisions with more formalized AP programs. "Obviously, we’ll be working to make sure we have all our ducks in a row to meet the new requirements,” he added. According to Dr. Gangel and Robert Chappell, the former RCHS principal who is now assistant superintendent, eighth graders currently have the option of beginning a foreign language. For the first time this year, preparation for SATs was offered after school but the program was dropped when only two or three students indicated interest. And all RCHS graduates meet the computer literacy requirement through the computer training given in the mandatory physical science class. There is no program now at either school specifically for the “culturally deprived” but both schools offer other remedial help and often the same youngsters in the math lab, reading lab and Title I programs, will fall into the category of “culturally deprived” as well, Dr. Gangel noted. He pointed out that many of the areas covered in the new accreditation standards are not new at all. As an example, the standards stipulate that students be allowed to enroll in supervised correspondence courses, with the principal's approval, in subjects not available to them through the school's schedule. “That has been done by many school divisions when it's been determined that it was best for the student,” Dr. Gangel said, adding that schools should always look at what's best for the students. “This is not new ap a practice, just as policy,” he said, plaining that many of the new standards are just substituting policy for practice and as a side effect, requiring mountains of additional paperwork from local school divisions as proof of adherence to that policy. Reading requirement not “total shock" The new standards require that, beginning in third grade and continuing through grade 12, “students not reading at or above grade level.. . shall receive additional instruction in reading.” Making the determination oh who is at grade level will not be difficult since state mandates require testing on this point for fourth, eighth and eleventh graders, Dr. Gangel said. After a youngster has been found below grade level, he or she is placed in a remedial program; subsequent monitoring shows if grade level performance has been achieved. Resuling labs at both the elementary school and the high school are already operating to help students “who show problems anywhere down the line," Dr. Gangel said. The new accreditation requirement “might change the number of students” and “increase the emphasis” but “it won’t be a total shock to our school system,” he said. Administrative staffing requirements in the new accreditation standards won’t be a shock to the county’s school system either; even with the reduction in force of one central office administrator this year, Rappahannock is still well above the minimum. Based on last year’s closing enrollments, RCES could squeak by without an assistant principal at all, since a half-time assistant must be hired only if enrollment reaches 600. The number of students enrolled there at the end of school was 598. A full time elementary assistant principal is not mandated until enrollment hits 900. For high schools, a full-time assistant principal is required for each 600 students. Closing enrollment at RCHS last year was 391. Beginning in 1988-89, students win have to pass literacy tests in reading, writing and mathematics in order to be promoted to the ninth grade. "This is a big one,” Dr. Gangel noted. “We don’t know yet what this is going to mean,” he said, because the state has not yet developed the “passport” test itself. “If the test really has teeth in it, there will be a nugor impact. But if it’s simple, like the minimum competency tests, there may be little effect.” The standards go on to say that students who fail the literacy test shall be enrolled in an alternative program leading to one or more of the following: (1) passing the literacy tests, (2) high school graduation, (3) general educational development (GED) certificate, (4) certificate of program completion, (5) job entry skills. The new standards also specify that schools “shall make available a remediation program, including summer school, to reduce the number of students who score in the bottom quartile on Virginia State Assessment Program Tests and/or those who fail the state’s literacy test” and shall provide “alternative programs with emphasis on basic skills for students who are not successful in regular instructional programs.” The State Board’s directive places greater emphasis on education of gifted and talented students, limits the regular school day to “teaching and learning activities” and requires instructional staff to establish “daily teaching objectives” with the aim of identifying what students are expected to learn; informing the students of those expectations and keeping them engaged in learning tasks, and enabling the teacher to spend the maximum time possible in the teaching/leaming process by "keeping to a minimum disruptions, clerical responsibilities and the time students are out-of-class.” In the line of policy dictates, the new accreditation standards require a written policy for “the selection, evaluation, withdrawal and disposal of all instructional materials purchased by the school division, with clearly stated procedures for handling challenged, controversial materials.” The standards also stipulate that homework shall be governed by a written school board policy which includes guidelines for the amount and timing of homework. The Rappahannock board has a homework policy in place, but it has no specifics on amount and timing, Dr. Gangel acknowledged. With both the 1988-89 accreditation standards and the tougher new Standards of Quality mandates expected soon, “we’re already trying to meet some of these requirements,” said Rappahannock’s superintendent. “Or at least we’re thinking about ways to meet them,” he concluded.

Family (Continued from Page 1) with Brad and Dawn Fisher and their children, Tara and David. Missing from the pizza party but “home” for a visit a few weeks earlier was Rodrigo from Chile, who was both the Fishers’ first international student and the first international student at RCHS. Rodrigo came in 1978. “We saw an ad in the paper, asking for host families,” Dawn Fisher recalled. “It sounded neat. We had no teenagers at the time. Tara and David were still in elementary school. So we thought we’d practice being the parents of teenagers with somebody else’s kids!” she joked. “We loved it. It was absolutely wonderful, marvelous,” Mrs. Fisher said of that first year. So Kirsten came in 1980, Josephine in 1984 and Thomas in 1986. They came to be more than visitors from another country; they came to be family. And they’ve all stayed family, even after they returned to their first home. “They’re still family. Once they’re in your heart, they never leave.” “Once they’re family, they’re family forever,” the pizza man added. And while they are in America, they’re Americans, the Fishers explained. The young people go through an intensive orientation program in their home countries that helps with the cultural adjustment and then there’s a refresher course after they’ve been with their American hosts for a month. “There’s a lot of work involved for the kids. They’re learning all the time, but because it’s fun, because they’re making new friends, they don’t realize they’re learning,” Mrs. Fisher said. To explain how the process works, she likened it to wearing colored glasses. In their home countries, their culture and life style come through glasses tinted yellow, while in the U.S., everyone wears blue glasses. If the international students put on the new blue glasses over their yellow glasses, life here is green, different from home, but different too from what American teenagers experience. “So they have to take off the yellow glasses and put on the blue glasses,” Mrs. Fisher said. With guidance from the volunteers in their home countries and support from their host families, most of the youngsters make the transition smoothly and easily. “When Kirsten stepped off the airplane, she announced, T’m an American now!’ From her first moment here, she wouldn’t speak German or think German,” Mrs. Fisher recalled. The adjustment is so complete that by the end of the year, “most of the kids find it very hard to take off their blue sunglasses and put on their yellow glasses again,” she added. There are few bouts of homesickness. “They maintain their ties to their natural parents, but while they’re here, we’re mom and dad,” she said. The dynamics of the household are the same as in any big family. “They’e all brothers and sisters,” Mrs. Fisher said, describing Tara’s and David’s relationship with Rodrigo, Kirsten, Josephine and Thomas. “No one’s allowed to be a guest in our house. This is an equal opportunity household. Everybody does his or her share.” “It’s pretty normal actually,” Brad Fisher observed. “It’s amazing how normal it is, considering the difference in cultures and background.” NUGGETS OF TRUTH By Rev.

J _ _§ "Rodrigo was used to maids, Thomas to an upperclass life very different from the way we live here, and they both learned to push the vacuum cleaner around and take out the trash,” Mrs. Fisher explained. “I’ve never pushed a vacuum around!” snorted Thomas, on his way through the kitchen to the basket of chips. “Mothers!” he jokingly complained, smiling at his adopted mom as he reached for the dip. This is my daughter, this is my son The host parents did some adjusting, too. “When I’d first introduce them, I’d say, This is Kirsten from Germany’ or This is Rodrigo from Chile.’ But after a month or two, it was This is my daughter Kirsten’ and This is my son Rodrigo,’ ” Mr. Fisher said. And the Fisher children learned a priceless lesson. “Everyone’s alike, no matter what country they come from,” David said. “I was expecting someone totally different. And they weren’t. They’re just like everyone here.” “It’s easier than it sounds to make a person part of your family,” added Tara. “It’s so much easier than I thought it would be.” When her mother and father took Tara to college at VCU in Richmond, her first friend was a young woman from Saudi Arabia. “That wouldn’t have happened without our international family,” Mrs. Fisher contended. Were good conversation pieces!” joked Josephine. “It’s like having all your best friends living with you,” Tara said, in a more serious vein. “Best friends that you can talk to, with each one about different things.” Do they ever feel displaced? Tara shakes her head no. The international brothers and sisters make a big show of bending over to hear David’s answer. “Only when they kick me out!” he said, laughing up at the assembly. “Not often, and if I do, I just put myself back in place.” The crowd in the kitchen grows, swelled by the other international students and their Rappahannock brothers and sisters, their boy friends and girl friends, all getting together for the pizza party. It’s a bittersweet occasion, the kick-off in a final series of gatherings before the adopted, adapted Americans take off their blue sunglasses and return home. “This is a grieving time,” Dawn Fisher acknowledged. “If your own children go away, you krtdW thfey’ll come back. When your inteMuttfonal children leave, you don’t know that. And you miss them — you miss them terribly.” But the Fishers now worry only about what could happen in the world to keep them apart. They no longer fear that their international children will choose not to come back to their second family and their second home in Washington, Virginia. Rodrigo returned after eight years, a grown man. Kirsten came back after finishing business management school, bringing her boyfriend Olaf to meet Mom and Dad, sister Tara and brother David. Josephine came back to college. Thomas swears he’ll return. ’Sperryville Realty' SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703) 987-8088-Office On Rt. 211 in Sperryville - 5 unit motel apartment complex, gift shop, fruit stand, restorable 2 story frame home, .95 acre, town sewer. $150,000.

These springer spaniels belong to Phillip and Merrill Strange of Castleton. They report that all 12 of the eight-week-old puppies are healthy and quite rambunctious. “I had two dreams,” Dawn Fisher confided. “One was to get all the kids together here. That happened this summer. It happened by chance. It wasn’t planned. They all just landed here at the same time. For two wonderful days, everyone’s paths crossed.” And the second dream? ‘To go to each of their weddings in their home countries,” she said, looking around at Josephine and Tara sitting together at the table, Thomas and David standing shoulder to shoulder in the doorway, Kirsten and Olaf with their arms around the other’s waist, all smiling, all happy, all part of the family. “Some day, Brad and I will have grandchildren all over the world!” Ludwick completes police training Airman Robert W.

Budget (Continued from Page 1) “This is just a budget,” Mayor Morehouse replied. “We still have to appropriate the money when the time comes.” He reminded the four other council members present that they had agreed that the budget would be “cash available," that no money would be spent until it was in the bank. The budget only sets up guidelines — the amounts and the priorities, he added. It is not an authorization to spend. Peter Skowronski questioned the $2,000 allocated for trash collection. He said that he had talked with Ray Pullen, who recently began working full-time for the town. “He’s willing to handle the trash collection. I think we should use the town employee to handle these things, and he agrees.” Mr. Skowronski added that there appear to be questions about how the services which the town has previously contracted for will be handled. “That’s part of the problem,” Mrs. Willis observed. “Brad has the answers and he’s not here.” We need more efficient services, she agreed. The question is “What is the most effective use?” With no further public comment, and Mr. Fisher not present to provide answers to council’s questions, Mayor Morehouse reiterated that “the budget is for fiscal planning and policy purposes only . .. (it) does not spend money. You must appropriate the money to spend it.” The mayor, with council’s concurrence, set passage of the proposed budget for council’s next regular meeting, Wednesday, September 9.
