Rain or snow also is predicted on Saturday, but partly sunny skies are in the forecast for Sunday. Temperatures during the period should range from highs in the mid 30s to lows in the mid 20s. it heavy, Thursday evening and Friday. .T iA-vV County ready for snowstorm With television and radio weather forecasters sounding the alarm for days in advance, Rappahannock was as ready as it will ever be for the storm that blanketed the county with six inches of snow between late Thursday afternoon and 6:30 the next morning when the flakes tapered off. “It was an obvious call,” said Superintendent David Gangel, of his decision by 7 p.m. Thursday to cancel school for Friday. “When it gets like that, it’s an easy call to make!” Doug Bywaters, supervisor at the Highway Department’s maintenance headquarters, had crews out Thursday night and all day Friday. Abrasives were applied to hills and curves while the snow was coming down, and on Friday morning, highway trucks began spreading salt on primary roads and the more heavily traveled secondary roads where snow was packed to an ice-like layer over the asphalt. By the afternoon, every county road had been pushed, and on Saturday, more salt went down on secondary roads to melt the slush which had frozen to ice overnight. “We were hoping that the sun and warmer temperatures would help [the action of the chemicals], and it worked pretty well,” Mr. By waters said. With all roads passable, highway workers were able to stay home on Sunday to watch the Washington Redskins climb over the Chicago Bears in the NFC playoffs semifinal game, and on Monday, snow plows were relegated to widening the cleared area on dirt roads. School resumed on Monday, leaving Rappahannock students with just a single snow day to make up, that set for the previously scheduled teacher workday on January 29. A few buses had problems starting Monday morning and the bus to Chester Gap needed help from a tow truck to turn around, but otherwise, there were no difficulties. Dr. Gangel said. According to Sperryville weather watcher Dennis Wingfield, the Siberian Express that has rolled over the central and eastern United States for the past two weeks brought no record lows to Rappahannock. “But it’s been darn cold,” he adding, reporting that the average high temperature for the month stands at 32.5 degrees and the average low at 14.3 degrees. The coldest point in the continuing cold snap Jfcme last Sunday night, when the mercury dipped to three degrees in Sperryville and minus three at Rappahannock County High School. * Rappahannock News photoVLon Haw SLEIGH BELLS RANG in Woodville last Friday when Nelson Lane hitched up the team for a family ride over snowy country lanes.

Oliver’s Constitutional essay the winner RCHS sophomore Elizabeth Oliver was judged the winner in the Amissville Ruritans* recent contest to write an essay oh the theme of the Constitution’s bicentennial. She was presented a $100 savings bond by Col. Ellis Bingham, chairman of the club’s Patriotism Committee. Roy Alther, also a sophomore at RCHS, took second place. “We’re pleased to sponsor this award,’’ Col. Bingham said. “And we’re glad to see the interest of our young people in studying and learning about the Constitution, especially as it enters its third hundred years.” RCHS, Social Studies teacher Jeanne Griffin served as RCHS sponsor for the contest. The essays were judged by three members of the staff of Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. (R-Va.). Kirsten Fedewa, the congressman’s press secretary, George White, his chief aide, and Jane Clatterbuck, his district representative in Culpeper, said that they found the choice of a winder extremely difficult. ’ “The consensus was that we were pleased that the students are interested in learning about the Constitution — especially with the bicentennial observance,” Ms. Fedewa said. ' She added that all three judges Svere “glad to see the return to basics -— the essay — and that students are interested and willing to participate.” - The essays presented “fresh ideas,” Ms. Fedewa said, “and it was 3m enormous pleasure, to judge Jhem.” - Mr. White agreed, noting that “as I talk with students, I stress the need for education. One of the underlying themes of the Constitution Is the need for an educated population. An essay contest is helpful in that.” Ms. Fedewa also said that 1988 is the observance of the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the ConstiJtutioftiSrL which Virginia figured prominentlyT" She suggested that ■ could perhaps be used as the theme «f the club’s next essay contest. > Col. Bingham said that the club [plans to continue its sponsorship, ;and said that details of the next amplest will be available later through Ihe Amissville Ruritan Club and at -the high school. He thanked RCHS rPrincipal John Toth and Ms. Griffin, I who coordinated the contest at the :!ugh school.

Guarantees of freedom By LIZ OLIVER KCHS Sophomore As this is the bicentennial year of our Constitution, it is a good time to think about the thoughts and ideas that have shaped the growth of our country. The Constitution is a radical experiment that has provided tfie framework of our government tjar two hundred years. y This framework was designed after seven years using the Articles of Confederation, our original form of government. The Articles were long on independence but not much else. Each state was a separate entity and the central government had virtually no power. It soon became ap^ parent that this system would not work and a new, stronger central government mjist be set up. However, when the delegates from the thirteen states met in Philadelphia they were faced with a dilemma that took them months to solve. How could they endorse a strong central government that might once again suppress all the rights they had fought so hard to gain? Finally, they decided on a system with a three-way split in power. There would be three governmental branches: Judicial, Executive and Legislative. The Judicial System would be based on trial by jury and the concept that a man is innocent until proven guilty. The Executive branch would consist of a President with the power to veto. However, the Legislative branch, divided into ( a Senate arid a House of Representatives, could overule the Presidential r veto if in a re-vote two-thirds of their body so ruled. When the Constitution was sent to the state legislatures for ratification, they refused to ratify it unless a Bill of Rights was added. Like their delegates, they were afraid of (See FREEDOM, p. 10) A symbol of excellence By ROY ALTHER KC'HS Sophomore ^Jhe Constitution of the United States of America is a symbol. More so than the eagle or even the flag, the Constitution sets forth the ideals wanted by America’s most important symbol, its people. The Constitution is made of more than a lucky combination of quill 'pen, ink, parchment, and some good guessing from a few dictatorial men. The Constitution is made of the blood, sweat, and dedication oimany people, of many backgrounds, with many ideas, but who all shared a common goal. They wanted and needed a strong and fair government. The Constitution is the basis for that government., Thl'jZonstitution is like the American people/ themselves, a melting pot. Jup. as the United a mixture of the English, (See SYMBOL, p. 10) Slaughter foresees more battles on the budget /By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer *f “This year’s session must contend with the same issues as last * ye&rLif" said Seventh District Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr. when asked for his perspective on the work of th^fpComing Congress. He visited Rappahannock County last week, holding a town meeting at the courthouse on Wednesday. Although the federal government was closed due to snow on Friday, the congressman was in his office and interviewed by telephone by the Rappahannock News. “The budget is the number one question to be determined ... as to whether we are able to make progress on deficit reduction . . . reach a balanced budget within a few years.” “I was disappointed by much of the budget process during 1987,” he said. In a move which has been widely condemned by both liberals and conservatives, an appropriations bill was passed on the last day of the 1987 session. The bill, which contained the entire federal budget, was 2,100 pages long and weighed 30 pounds. After a marathon debate, r which threatened to delay adjournment, the bill was passed in the middle of the night. “It was impossible," he said, “in the short time between printing and passage ... for any one member to know what was in it.” He voiced conditional approval for the deficit reduction compromise reached last year, notiijg-thSTit provided for anjidditionalSlO billion in savirjgs'^Gtfer the $22 billion mandated by the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings automatic reductions. “That’s good — the problems is that some estimates of savings may be optimistic — some revenue projections may be optimistic.” Those, he said, include such items as the sale of government assets, where the actual revenues realized may not reach the estimate. He called that “a cause for some concern,” but “I hope that does not turn out to be correct.” Health care bill still short He said that he foresees progress on some type of national health insurance, with catastrophic illness (See SLAUGHTER, p. 4) Race needs a home The Fodderstack 10K Road Race, which may celebrate its 10th running this April, is in need of adoptive parents. The Rappahannock Recreation Authority, which has sponsored the previous nine runnings of the popular spring race, will no longer sponsor the event. Authority member Diane Bruce said last week. When asked if there was a reason, Ms. Bruce would say only, “It’s time for a change.” She said that a number of people had approached her in the past expressing their interest in helping with the race, and she urged anyone still willing to assist to contact her. “It needs to be done right away,” Ms. Bruce stressed. “There are plans which need to be made right away if the race is to come off this year. ” The principal position needed is someone willing to assume the duties of race director, the overall coordinator of the' entire event, she said. With the assistance of several other volunteers, Ms. Bruce continued, the race could continue. However, “it’s going to die unless someone is willing to take it over and become race director.” Ms. Bruce stressed that there are a number of people throughout the county who have helped with the race, both preparations and on race day, and that volunteers are still willing. The real need is for a race director to take charge of the planning and groundwork. If any organization or individuals are willing to become the Fodderstack Classic’s adoptive parents, they should contact Ms. Bruce at the Clerk’s Office, 6753621, Monday through Friday.

News of Record Grand jury indicts Christmas tree thieves A five-member Rappahannock Grand Jury returned indictments Monday against Robert Lee Rainer, 39, of Huntly, and James Robert Smoot, 40, of Flint Hill, for a string of crimes committed before Christmas in the Flint Hill area. The two men face five felohy and two misdemeanor charges for the theft of evergreen trees from Ralph Woodruffs Yule Log Christmas Tree Farm, the theft of an arborvitae tree from Franklin Hume, breaking and entering and theft of canned stuffs and a chain saw from Foster Brothers Packing Shed, and the malicious killing of a black and white cow belonging to Cory Korel of Jordan River Farm and the theft of that same beef. Judge Shore Robertson set personal recognizance bonds of $1,000 for eaach man and continued the companion cases until Jan. 27. The judge also named Madison lawyer Roy Bradley as the court-appointed attorney for Mr. Smoot and confirmed the appointment of Lee Albrecht of Warrenton as Mr. Ramey’s attorney. Charges against the two were not prosecuted in General District Court last week. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke explained that he opted to bring the charges directly to the Grand Jury in order to eliminate one court appearance. Seeking a direct indictment instead of proceeding through a preliminary hearing in General District Court • means “less inconvenience to the victims and witnesses,” Mr. Luke noted. (Cases normally follow one of three routes to resolution: • Arrest on a warrant, presentation of evidence at a preliminary hearing in General District Court, certification of charges to Grand Jury, presentation of evidence to Grand Jury, Grand Jury return of a true bill, and hearing in Circuit Court. • Arrest on a warrant, presentation of evidence to Grand Jury, Grand Jury return of a true bill, and hearing in Circuit Court. • Presentation of evidence to Grand Jury without a prior warrant in cases where the suspect presents no danger to the public and is not considered likely to flee, Grand Jury return of a true bill, and hearing in Circuit Court.) In another case that wasn’t prosecuted in last week’s General District Court, the Grand Jury brought back indictments against Leroy Thomas Sisk, 49, of Sperryville, on charges of arson, assault and battery and unlawful use of force to impede a law officer. Judge Robertson set a personal recognizance bond of $5,000 arid continued the case until Jan. 27 for pretrial motions. « Also on Monday, the Grand Jury returned true bills against Jack Leon Rinker and Stanley Edward Smithrcharging them as habitual offenders. Mr. Rinker will be tried by a jury on June 5; Mr. Smith’s case was set over until Jan. 27. fj In addition, attorney Douglas Baumgardner lodged an appeal of Usters Dodson’s recent conviction on three charges of selling alcoholic beverages without a license.

Retarded adults find the way to independence at Goldsborough House By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON femmhaitnock New. SUff Writer - Squeezing her eyes shut to hold back tears, she passed sound the p“'tographs of her -child to her coworkers. They showed a young woman, maybe in her late 20s, washing the dishes, putting away gro- ' ceries, setting the table and stirring i-P pot on the stove. Ordinary scenes. .JBut extraordinary for this mother .. because her daughter is retarded. „• The tears as she shared the pictures with her friends were tears of relief u. and joy, coming because her daugh,, ter was in Goldsborough House mas,.,,tering the survival lessons she must have for independence. *v‘- Under the guidance of her " IllVVIltl cuivt lauici, uic juuug '**■ Woman had learned the basics of per"'■’sonal care. She could dress herself. ‘• ■She could wash her hair and brush * her teeth. She helped her mother in >1 “ the kitchen and accompanied her dad on shopping expeditions, offering ■’’advice on what to buy for that night’s dinner. She was happy. But her parents had begun to look ahead and worry about what would happen *fto her after their deaths. There were no brothers or sisters to help, and how could she, who had never known anything but patient, supportive love and the freedom of home, understand an institution? Now she won’t have to try, the mother explained. Now with the skills and confidence she’s gained at Goldsborough House, she’ll be able - .to manage on her own. >; Goldsborough House is an eight. bed residential facility for the men, tally retarded operated by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community ^Services Board. It serves a five, county Planning District with a population of about 102,000, of whom _ 3,060 are retarded, according to statistical averages. And it has a wait. ing list of about four years. ;, Kristi Johnson first worked with - the retarded while she was still a .. student at Rappahannock County . -High School. A volunteer with the . Special Olympics, she had what she -..describes as the typical attitude toward the mentally handicapped. “People say, ‘Oh, look at those poor .. folks. They need help.’ And sure, , .they need help,” acknowledged Miss Johnson, a residential counselor for .two years and now the supervisor at ..Goldsborough House. “But what . they need is help to help themselves. , They’re capable of learning how to help themselves. They don’t need -babysitting.” , Those who have no experience Jwith retarded adults watch Miss Johnson and fret that she expects .-too much. Sbe#naaintains that others expect too little. Like all good teachers, she knows that her students will strive to live up to expectations; those expectations send an unspoken message that the teacher has confidence in their abilities, and confidence is catching. “People tell me ‘I’m too hard, too harsh, but our clients at Goldsborough House CAN ,>leam. It just takes them longer. I . have to be firm. If I’m not, then I’m not doing them any good,” she explained. Of the eight beds at Goldsbo’ rough House, one is reserved for .persons being evaluated who hope to ( become residents. There is no economic needs criterion; retarded adult§ from wealthy families are just as eligible as those from poor families. Ability to pay is a factor only in setting the monthly charge for each rlient. To be accepted, the retarded 009 Quickstep" standard. A Little STIHL Goes a Long Way. The Stihl 009 is a small chain saw that’s big enough on power and performance to take care of all your firewood needs. And since it’s a Stihl, you know it will be around for a long time to come. $195.00 Reg. $215.00 KENNY adult must be at least 18 years old and able to handle the basics of selfcare. During the two-week trial period, they must demonstrate that they will be able to benefit from the program and show the potential for graduating from the downstairs group home to the supervised upstairs apartment in about two years. And they must be enrolled in a day program, usually either FORE’s sheltered workshop for the handicapped at Remington or the Community Services Board’s vocational training centers in Orange and Fauquier counties. So like the other houses and apartments on East Piedmont Street, Goldsborough House bustles with activity early on weekday mornings as counselors and residents rise to make breakfast and beds and ready themselves for work. The Community Services vans stop for their last pick-up around 10 a.m., and then quiet settles on the sprawling frame building until 3:30 when counselors and clients return. The van from FORE is the last to arrive, letting off its passengers at 5:30. ; After 15 or 20 minutes to relax and catch up on the day’s happenings, the residents of Goldsborough House begin their evening chores and lessons. It’s difficult to tell where chores leave off and lessons begin because chores are lessons. “They learn by doing,” explained Jo Gorman, director of the Community Services Center. “Cooking, shopping, cleaning - all the skills you > — » ai and I take for granted they must learn by repetition, over and over and over again.” In the downstairs group home setting, chores are assigned, with assignments rotating every two weeks. The system is tightly structured, each job broken down step by step in a “task analysis” or TA, to borrow Goldsborough House lingo. The TA for preparing dinner begins with washing hands and checking the week’s menu posted on the kitchen bulletin board. If the night’s meal is hot dogs, french fries, and green beans, the TA goes on to (1) take hot dogs from the refrigerator, (2) get out pot, (3) fill pot with water, (4) put hot dogs in pot, (5) put pot on stove, (6) turn stove on medium, (7) turn oven to 400 degrees, (8) get french fries from freezer, (9) get out cookie sheet, put french fries on cookie sheet, (10) put cookie sheet in oven, (11) get can of green beans from pantry and so on through serving the plates and putting the plates on the table.

Real Estate £§!) Eileen M. Day realtor HOME STILL GREAT TAX SHELTER “ The current tax law closed many of the tax loopholes, but, alas, the homeowner still kept most of them. Under the latest tax code, property taxes remain fully deductible. Gain on the home sale still can be deferred if a new home costing at least as much as the sale price of the old is purchased within two years of the sale. HomeOwners age SS or older retain the once-in-a-Hfetime ability to recognize $123,000 of tax-free gain on the sale of the principal home. Home office deductions are preserved but tightened so that, in effect, only net income can be sheltered. A home office deduction can no longer create a loss or increase an otherwise existing loss. .. . The tax break mother lode is that mortgage , interest payments on primary and second homes continue to be hilly deductible as long as the debt does not exceed the original cost plus improvements or up to the market value if the funds are used for education', or medical expenses.

' ■ _ Once the downstairs residents masteiMive dinner menus and five breakfast menus and score at least 80 percent on pedestrian skills, they are eligible for promotion to the su- " pervised apartment upstairs. It’s a big step. Downstairs, they {dan menus, shop and cook as a group and their chores are assigned by the counselors. Upstairs, they plan their own menus, cook and shop for themselves and assess on their own which household jobs need doing. The daily routine is less struc-* tured but a chunk of time every evening and on weekends remains reserved for practicing TAs. The evaluation and scoring continues, only this time readiness is being as*; sessed for an even bigger step: graduation to an outside apartment where their only supervision will come from once or twice weekly visits by residential counselors. Upstairs, there’s more emphasis on the Thursday evening lessons in ^ financial planning. “They have to tell us what they’ll need in the coming ' '—■■■■ ■»— in i ■■■«■■■ *■ ■■ f. ■■■■!.! week and hew much they think the things will cost,” Miss Johnson explained. To advance to an unsupervised apartment, these mentally handicapped adults must score 90 percent on the weekly needs assessment, 80 percent on grocery shopping, and 80 percent on menu planning. They must demonstrate proficiency in housekeeping skills sufficient to maintain an apartment of their own and they must score near perfect on help-seeking and safety skills: how to properly identify themselves, use a fire escape, use a telephone under normal conditions and make emergency telephone calls, _ - . Both fof upstairs and downstairs residents at Goldsborough House, "the -counselors strive to instill habits. “We’re not sure residents are going to take a bath every night once they leave Goldsborough House,, but we insist that they do that here,” noted the residential program’s supervisor. “We’re not sure they’ll begin every week by writing out a menu for the next seven days, but they do that here. Some of those habits are going to stay. ” - - - ■ - The average time at Goldsborough House is two years downstairs and a year and a half to two years upstairs. Most of the residents then go on to unsupervised apartments but a few make an interim stop at 219 House in Orange, the Community Services Center’s only other supervised apartment program. “That’s when they’re ready to leave Goldsborough House but they’re not quite ready to be on their own. They need a little more time to polish their living skills,” Miss Johnson noted. And just as with the initial acceptance to Goldsborough House, there are waiting lists every step of the way. “We have clients who have been evaluated and recommended -for admission. They - and their families - want to know when they can begin. We have clients who need to be in Goldsborough House or 219 House RIGHT NOW!” Miss Johnson emphasized. For the retarded adults who want independence and for the counselors who work with them, “that’s the slowest, most frustrating ; part of it all,” she added. ‘/ am ready as any thing* Kenny’s broad face crinkles in concentration as he tries to remember how long he’s been at Goldsborough House. Then relief erases the furrows as he’s told an approximation will do. “It’s been about three ’ years. If you need to know the exact date, one of the counselors can tell you. They have it in their records.” Thirty-four-year-old Kenny is. ' mildly retarded. In addition, he hasan adjustment disorder that makes the appropriate expression 0f 'emo-„ tion difficult for him and leaves him - appearing very child-like at tinies. But in conversation on a topic with which he’s comfortable - life at Goldsborough House - and in the . security of the familiar upstairs > apartment’s living room, Kenny would pass for normal. -• * . “I’ve learned an awful lot since I’ve been here. I’ve Reamed cooking, how to do my own lafindry, Cleaning. Stuff like that. I know my basics,”' he said, setting his shoulders With pride and nodding confidently. "But that was easy part. The hard part was trying to get along with other people,” he added, repeating the lament of anyone who has ever shared ■ living quarters with another human ,; being. “It is hard! Very hard." ■ * The rooms give testimony to the skills Kenny and his house mate George have, mastered. Table tops ?* are free of dust and comers free of cobwebs. Counters in-the kitchen are clear except where George is cutting tomatoes and tearing lettuce -for a dinner salad. Beds are made and clothes put. away in the bedrooms, towels-are hung folded from racks in the bathroom, and in the little laundry cubby, boxes of detergent and bottles of bleach and fabric softeher stand in a precise row. There is no clutter anywhere. It is a perfect-example of “a place for everything, and everything in its place.” Few bachelor apartments achieve this level of neatness. Kenny beamed at the compliment to his household management. “I do the chores at my convenience, when I can get around to them,” he disclaimed modestly. " Like all regular working folk*, there are days When he puts off • tasks, Kenny acknowledged, complaining that some evenings he comes home just too tired to tackle vacuuming the living room or scrubbing the kitchen floor. Kenny has a job, a real job, at Fergie’s in Warrenton. ‘it’s a family restaurant, arid the food is really good stuff, jxiuch better than. I fix here,” he said. “They.djon’-t watchover me at Fergie’s.. There's*no time for watching. Everyone has their own job. Ming's dish washing and whatever else they want me to do. ” (The job opportunity came through the Community Services Center’s supported employment program. After giving him a trial, Fergie’s now covers Kenny’s entire pay check, noted Goldsborough House supervisor Kristi Johnson. “Not many businesses will take a retarded person, even on a trial basis. „ The people at Fergie’s have been real good to Kenny and real good for us to work with. We could do with more employers like them. ”) With a job and the living skills ' he’s learned at Goldsborough House, Kenny is moving soon to an apartment of his own. He faces the change with confidence. “They said I’m ready. All they need to do is find me a place. I’ll really miss the enjoy- , ment of having my counselors and * housemates here as friends. But I g feel ready as anything!” “It’s what we all want,” he continued. “Young kids want to get away from their mothers, their fathere, their sisters, and their broth- f ere. They want to live on their own, *;i be independent, as they say. That’s what I’ve been trying to do for a long time.” Would he have been successful without Goldsborough House? “No!” Kenny answered, pressing hii lips together tightly and shaking v his head vigorously in denial. “No. Not ever. I couldn’t have dtine it by S. mjrself.” NOTICE ALL DOG OWNERS RABIES VACCINATION CLINIC Dr. £*Mv Graves will be at WashingtonFirehouse, Washington, Virginia Date: January 16,1988 Time: 10 a.m.-l 1 a.m. 3 year vaccinations for cats and dogs $3.50 TAGS $5.00 per dog A current Rabies innoculation Certificate is required for dog tags.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 14.1988 Editorial AIDS policy Fairfax County’s school system is recognized as one of the nation’s most progressive, and its graduates as among the ' best prepared in the United States, whether they choose to continue their education or seek a job directly upon finishing high school. But Fairfax County’s School Board and top administrator looked neither prepared nor progressive when , faced recently with a five-year-old kindergarten student with AIDS, the acquired immune deficiency syndrome which destroys the body’s ability to fight disease. The School Board had no policy for dealing with students who have the deadly disease. The superintendent ordered the child home, the parents filed a suit seeking reinstatement, and the superintendent countered with criticism, questioning the need for lawyers and a legal battle when the child was going to be “dead in a year or two anyway.” The lack of readiness and sensitivity displayed by "Fairfax officials stands out in sharp contrast to what is happening here. On Tuesday, the Rappahannock School Board adopted an amended policy setting out procedures to be followed should a . principal have a “reasonable basis to believe” that a student has AIDS or any other contagious or infectious disease. It is \ reasonable policy because it calls upon medical professionals . for help in reaching a decision on how to react to what is v essentially a medical issue. It is a reasonable policy because it >; permitsteach case to be approached on an individual basis. AIDS is contagious but it is not spread by casual contact. ; The virus is passed through an exchange of body fluids, most commonly by sexual contact and sharing syringes or needles, less often by a transfusion of contaminated blood like thatwhich infected the Fairfax kindergartener.

We devoutly pray that AIDS will not hit here.

Slaughter (Continued from Page 1) protection already approved by the Congress and on its way to President Reagan for his signature. Rep. Slaughter has sponsored a bill to allow tax breaks for savings accounts designated to cover health care in future years, but the bill has not yet won enough support to pass. He predicted more progress for the bill this year, but said it is still unlikely to gain enough votes to pass. He noted that the Congressional agenda is bound to be influenced, as it always is, by the Presidential election in November, and said that he doubts if any far-reaching reforms or major new programs will be enacted before the election. “There’s a natural tendency to put off legislation and new programs until after the election. The election process requires more time.” With campaigns occupying more and more time at every level, does the congressman favdr some limitations on time and money spent? “It i would be difficult to control either the length or the expenditures—and difficult to enforce limits.” But, he added, “I’m always willing to look at things, to see if something may be - workable. “It’s good for the public to know what candidates are spending their money on in an election.” A question of financing As the nation’s population ages, there has been increasing concern in’ recent years for the health of the government’s Social Security and Medicare funds. However, he said the problems lie not in the funding for the programs, but with the use of the money once it is collected. The Social Security program, which between employee and employer collects 14 percent of wages up to $45,000, is in good shape, he said. v Medicare, which was set up as a trust fund, about 20 years ago was made a part of the federal line budget. Therefore, when appropriations were not finished on time, the federal treasury borrowed money from the fund to keep the government going. That has now been outlawed, and Rep. Slaughter said he favors reestablishing Medicare’s trust fund status. “Medicare benefits are paid by the contributors... the law specifies they are separate . . . they should be paid out separately.” Hopeful, cautious about Soviets Rep. Slaughter has always been a strong supporter of defense expenditures, but he vojced cautious optimism that the recent intermediate range nuclear missile treaty signed by President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev will "lead to a (See SLAUGHTER, p. 10) Commentary Rappahannock Heritage $22.5 billion state budget Human resources, education, but no sex-ed program funded By DON DEL ROSSO Richmond Bureau Chief RICHMOND — Gov. Gerald L. Baliles’ $22.5 billion spending plan through 1990 calls for substantial funding increases in the areas of human resources, education, affordable housing and an average 5 percent pay raise for most of Virginia’s 75,000 state employees. No tax increases are required to balance the two-year budget, which will be forwarded to the Senate Finance Committee and the House Appropriations Committee this week. The governor was scheduled to unveil his budget Jan. 13 at 1 p.m., after addressing the General Assembly, which was to open the 1988 session an hour earlier. But in a 2l/2-hour press briefing Jan. 11, Paul W. Timmreck, director of Virginia’s Department of Planning and Budget, outlined the governor’s spending proposal. Gov. Baliles put a two-day embargo on the briefing, prohibiting the publication and broadcast of budget details until he could give the document to Virginia lawmakers Tor, IQ The proposed budget, which reflects a 14.4-percent increase ($2,839 billion) in expenditures over the current two-year budget period, also puts particular emphasis on eco-' nomic development and natural resources. » Projected spending for the' current two-year budget period, which ends July 31, has been put at $19.7 billion. The fiscal year runs from June 1 to July 31. Surprisingly, the budget dyes not provide funding for the muchtalked about sex-education curriculum that the State Board of Education has developed for public schools. The statewide program would-cost about $5.5 million in the first year. Chris - Bridge, a Baliles spokesperson, told reporters that it would be a “mistake” to believe that the spending proposal represents the governor’s last word on the budget.A^he suggested Gov. Baliles might] address the sex-education funding question in his State of the Commonwealth speech, scheduled for the afternoon of Jan. 13. The governor recognizes the need for sex education in public schools, but to date has endorsed no specific program. tyr. Timmreck said the Board of Education’s sex-education model couldn’t have been considered in the budget because the spending blueprint had been virtually completed before a joint subcommittee endorsed the model last week. Funding requests from agencies totaled $2.9 billion for new programs and capital outlay, but the governor’s budget provides $861 million for such needs, j By Mr. Timmreck’s calculations, the governor’s budget allocates $3 for every $10 requested for new initiatives. Human services • Recommendations for mental health and housing fell far short of the funding requirements as outlined by public officials and interest groups. For example, the Community Service Boards indicated that at least $140 million would be required to upgrade and expand programs for the mentally retarded, alcoholics and drug abusers. But the budget provides $65 million in new money for those areas. When questioned if the governor’s CSB recommendation would adequately cover local needs, Mr. Timmreck replied, “We think, quite plainly, the comissioner of Mental Health and Retardation and Substance Abuse Services will be quite pleased.” In all, the proposed CSB budget, including pay ir "’•eases, money for management improvement and inflation, totals $80.5 million. A subcommittee soon will issue a report on the affordable housing crisis in Virginia. Some in the industry think the state should begin resolving the problem by setting up a lowinterest loan program to the tune of $100 million. Of the proposed $4.7 billion human-resources budge#, Mr. Tim mreck observed, “It recognizes the need to deal with increased services . . . But beyond that, it also recognizes you can’t take a lot of money and throw it to the recipients who need the services. You have to have effective management.” He called the governor’s humanresources proposals a “very balanced package.” The human services proposal also includes an additional $145 million for Medicaid, $54 million of which would be used to maintain nursing homes. Mr. Timmreck said Medicaid represents “the single most challenging program facing the state at the present time.” In other health-related matters, the proposed spending plan allocates money for AIDS-education programs and home-care assistance for those with Alzheimer’s disease. The AIDS program would cost $4.9 million and fund 49 new positions. The start-up costs for the Alzheimer’s respite-care plan would run $100,000. Gov. Baliles also wants to spend $10 million on day-care programs for “working poor,” Mr. Tjmmreck explained. “This is not mainstream daycare for everybody.” Housing Gov. Baliles has suggested- a modest $8.5 million low-interest housing fund. Developers could get the loans, provided they set aside a certain number of units in a given project for low- to moderate-income people. The governor’s program, nonetheless, iryects $45 million in new money for affordable-housing programs, which mostly emphasize rehabilitation of existing structures. His program does not include mortgage or rental assistance to low- and moderate-income workers. The following highlights other major spending proposals and programs contained in the governor’s budget. Education Gov. Baliles has budgeted aboirt $9.5 billion for education during the next two fiscal years. Specifically, the educatiert-djudget calls for the appropriations to achieve an “actual” yearly pay raise of 7.3 percent for teachers. Currently, teacher’s salaries in Virginia are comparable to the na tional mean; that is, half the stages pay their teachers less than teachers in Virginia ai^l half the states their teachers more than teachersTin Virginia. Z The budget further provides (far a “cost of competing” salary adjustment for nine Northern Virginia localities, including Fairfax, the City of Fairfax and Loudoun County. * It recognizes that the higher cdfct of living in Northern Virginia mjiy justify an additional 12.53 percent salary raise. e j The funding formula for state <^d has been studied and debated for years. Complaints persist that the existing formula is unfair, with both rural and suburban areas griping that they are entitled to moiie money. ’• The governor does not incorporate any of the Joint Legislative Atidit Review Commission’s eight funding formulas, which seem to have disturbed or confused mosjt lawmSkers and educators. L The governor’s plan would increase the state’s burden during tlw biennial from 50 percent to 51 percent in the first year to 52 percent i£ the second year. 5 For example, the govemqr wants to reduce the student-teacher ratio from 25-to-one to 24-to-one fey first grade and English classes, grades six through 12. £ In rural counties, where the pof£ ulation is sparse and spread out, thqi ratio may be lower. That meanjji more teachers would be needed tjl teach fewer students than the pro*posed standard, and thus instruction costs go up. Under the current formula, the state funds a maximum 59.5 positions per 1,000 students. Localities would have to pick up the tab for an£ additional personnel. > For example, a rural county, be* cause of its scattered population^ may need 65.5 positions per 1.00Q students. In a school system witlj 5,000 students, the locality woultj have to fund 25 new positions to meet the student-teacher ratio. * Adopting part two of the StanV dards of Quality report in education "gives us a unique instructional stan*dard for every locality in the state,’! said Mr. Timmreck. J The Baliles budget also provides; $6.6 million for the Center for Inno-* vative Technology. "•< Kudos for Castleton VFD To the editor: Early in the morning on Saturday, Jan. 9, we had a fire in our chimney. It was our first experience with a chimney fire and we were afraid that there might be damage to our house. Accordingly the Castleton Fire Department was called. The squad came quickly to our assistance. All the members were polite, ef ficient, and extremely professional. The first question asked was whether there were any people left in the house. Once the fire fighters determined all the people were safe, they turned attention to the house itself. The squad discovered that our fire was not a serious one, and assured us that because our chimney was in good condition, the fire would burn itself out. Rather than just leave us once they were certain that the situation was not critical, the squad members stayed with us and helped us to clean the chimney. Both my husband ana, I felt rather sheepish for having called the fire department on what turned out to be a minor problem. Nevertheless, there was not one member of the department who made us feel that we were silly. In fact, every individual said that they did not blame us calling for help. I would hope that if someone got me out of bed early on»| ■* a Saturday morning in subfreezing*; weather I would be as generous. *• Our entire family is exceedingly? grateful to all members of the Gas-?' tleton Fire Department for their? timely assistance.

Enthusiastic response to Soviet visitors By SANDRA CARTWRIGHTBROWN Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer % The article in the Jan. 7 issue of tne Rappahannock News on the visit of 10 Soviet citizens to the 1* county from Tuesday, Jan. 26, to -Sunday, Jan. 31, 1988, has resulted in many enthusiastic offers to house and entertain the Russians. Some of . the responses are: Maurice Herndon of Sperryville has subscribed to the Soviet Life v magazine for a number of years and donates back issues to the library. He called The Conyers House to of. fer “whatever it is we can do to help.” Aside from two guest rooms - Mr. Herndon offered to help with - ^transportation to show- the guests t around. Mike Mahoney of Woodville of* fered their guest cottage and wanted _ Ihis daughter’s Russian class at Wakefield to meet the guests. Lisa -- .■Currie, an editor of the Star Expo''nent in Culpeper, offered to give a v tour of the printing plant and take > the guests to Montpelier in Orange. A Front Royal resident who wishes to remain anonymous due to his sensitive government employment has offered to pick up three or four Russians in his jeep, give them a tour of .‘i a working farm and serve dinner. The Gay St. Inn offered bed and ; breakfast for three. David Konick ■ has offered to take a stab at inter- preting should the occasion arise. Everyone who has called The Conyers House has been told that there is no financial remuneration far any of us involved and since the ruble cannot be exchanged for dollars, the Russians will have no currency whatever.’ On Friday, Jan. 8, I called the Center for Soviet American Dialogue in Bellevue, Wash., to discuss the impending visit. To my amazement I was told that the founder and director, Rama Vernon, was leaving for Moscow on Sunday, ' " Jan. 10, to “appeal to the Peace Committee to grant permission for • the Russians to visit American ' homes prior to the Feb. 1-5 Citizens’ . Summit.” I answered that we ap pear to have the cart be^jpre the horse if their clearance hasn’t been granted since we’re busy making plans. The Center replied, * “That’s the way the Russians operate - we may not know until the last minute, but we always proceed and plan as though clearance will be granted.” I had called to ask for a brief biography on each guest and was told that the Center had already requested that biographies be forwarded but that they hadn’t been received yet. The only mention of any of the guests to me thus far has been that the top rider of the Olympic Equestrian team and a retired Navy"admiral are among the 100 or so planning to attend the Citizens’ Sumxnity’We don’t know who the 10 Russians will be who come to Rappahannock County. On Thursday, Jan. 29, in Washington, Va., we are planning a Rappahannock Glasnost in the evening. We have in mind an open forum, led by Dr. Denise Horton, to meet and chat with the Russians. The Child Care and Learning Center has invited the Russians to tour the facility and share lunch with> the children. Trish and Bob Darby of Woodville have offered to do whatever they can. Mitzie and Bill Young have offered two dinners for 12 (they have twice been to.the USSR). Daphne Hutchinson His invited four for dinner in honor of her husband’s Russian grandparents. This by no means completes the list of county residents who have generously offered to help entertain the Russians. Next week’s paper will be more specific, we hope. By then wetnay have an idea of who is coming and what public events have been planned. The Quaker meeting has the honor of being the-first ecumenical group to respond, having invited the Russians to brunch after attending meeting. If weather permits and the Rappahannock Hunt goes out, perhaps our guests can see the hunt off. Anyone with suggestions for entertainment or wishing to participate can call Sandra Cartwright-Brown at The Conyers House (987-8025).

Law changes in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 can cause taxes to increase if nothing is done. Farmers and individuals who have lost the following items could have increases in their taxes: Elimination of the 60 percent exclusion on capital gain transactions. Repeal of income averaging. Repeal of the two-wage earner deduction. Loss of sales tax as an itemized deduction. Partial loss of consumer interest as an itemized deduction. Loss in investment credit. Slowdown in depreciation for many assets because of the lengthening of the recovery period. Possibility of less depreciation in 1987 because of rules that Hmit de-*~ preciation when more than 40 percent of the assets are purchased in the last quarter of the year. Farm ers alone will potentially have an increase in taxes due to the new rules for: Capitalization of preproductive costs associated with raising replacement livestock and establishing orchards. Restriction on deductions for pre-paid farm expenses. Changes in soil and water conservation rules, and No deduction allowed for land clearing expenses. These are but a few of the changes that will directly affect the farmer. Many of the changes in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 are complex. It is more important than ever to try to understand your income situation and tax alternatives. To help local farmers better understand the new tax laws a Farm Tax Program will be held Tuesday, * Jan. 19, at 7 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington.

Legumes may be the alternative that pleases both the budget and palate. Many people are familiar with legumes by different names. The most common name is dried beans. Packaged dry beans are readily available in nearly every store. In this form, dried beans are the most economical, but require longer cooking times. For convenience, many homemakers prefer to use canned beans. A new form of bean is being offered in the produce section of many retail stores in California and also in some eastern cities. These are dried beans that have been processed so that they taste fresh and cook quickly. The presoaked beans are packaged in polyfilm bags and must be kept refrigerated to prevent spoilage. Some people don’t eat beans because of the legendary gas producing qualities, sometimes being referred to as the “musical food”. Researchers have been trying to remove the gas from beans but have not been completely successful. Undigestable complex sugars are the cause of this gas. Several methods are used to help remove the gas. Adding a small amount of baking soda to the soaking water is one method. This method destroys the B vitamin thiamin. Another method that helps to eliminate part of the problem is to put washed, sorted beans in hot water, boil them for three minutes, remove from heat, cover and let stand for a minimum of four hours. After the beans have soaked, drain, and discard the soaking water. Cooked dried beans offer tremendous health benefits. Beans contain less than 2 percent fat which is vegetable in nature and therefore contains no cholesterol. Beans alone are low in sodium, although some ». recipes call for the addition of seasonings that may be high in sodium, particularly seasoned salts, bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, and catsup. Uned beans supply a large amount of fiber. A cup of cooked beans provides about half the daily dietary fiber intake of 35 to 45 grams as recommended by the National Cancer Institute. Beans are an excellent source of high quality, low cost protein; one cup of cooked dry beans provides 25 percent of the daily recommended dietary allowance. Bean protein is complete with eight of the nine essential amino acids. A slight deficiency in the amino acid methionine is readily con-' rected by eating beans with earn* rice, or small amounts of meat or cheese. Beans are also exceptionally high in iron. One cup of cooked beans provides almost half of the daily amount of iron recommended for men and about a fourth of the amount needed by women. Additionally, beans are among the richest natural sources of the B complex vitamins. Eleven major varieties are produced in the United States, and the numerous ways to prepare each make meal planning easy. They are baby limas, black-eyed peas, dark and light red kidneys, garbanzo, great northern, large limas, navy, pink pinto, and red and small white beans. The standard method for preparing dried beans is to drain and rinse soaked beans. Place them in a good size cooking pan, add six cups of hot water, one to two tablespoons of shortening or oil, and two teaspoons of salt. Boil gently with lid tilted until desired tenderness is reached. For a more flavorful variety, follow standard directions, but use two teaspoons onion salt and 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt instead of plain salt. Add orje tablespoon chicken stock base or three or four bouillon cubes and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper. 10- Bean Soup 1/4 cup EACH: black-eyed peas, pinto beans, navy beans, red beans, small limas, large limas, great northern whites, split peas, lentils, barley 1/2 pound ham or ham hock 2 large onions, chopped 1 quart tomatoes 2 teaspoons chili powder Dash Tabasco sauce Salt and pepper to taste Combine beans and barley in large pot, cover with water and soak overnight. Drain and rinse well. Add 2 quarts water and ham. Bring to boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer 2Vi hours. Add onions, tomatoes, garlic, chili powder, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Allow to simmer another 3 minutes. Makes 3 quarts. Serves 16. Can be pureed to make a smoother soup. Freezes well. Bostoq^Baked Beans “It is for baked beans that Boston is known as Bean Town. The Puritan Sabbath lasted from sundown on Saturday until sundown on Sunday, and baked beans provided the Puritans with a dish that was easy to prepare. The bean pot could be kept in the slow heat of a fireplace to serve at Saturday supper and Sunday breakfast. Housewives too busy with other chores were able to turn the baking of the beans over to a local baker. The baker called each Sat urday morning to pick up the family’s bean pot and take it to a community oven, usually in the cellar of a nearby tavern. The freelance baker then returned the baked beans, with a bit of brown bread, on Saturday evening or Sunday morning.” 6 cups pea or navy beans 1 pound salt pork 1 tablespoon dry mustard 1 tablespoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 cup molasses . 1 small onion (optional) Pick over beans, cover with cold water, and soak overnight. In the morning, drain, cover with fresh water, bring to a boil very slowly, then simmer until the skins burst, “whiqji is best determined,” wrote Fannie Farmer, “by taking a few beans on the 6tp of a spoon and blowing on them, when skins will burst if sufficiently cooked.” Miss Farmer adds that beans tested this way “must, of course, be thrown away.” Drain beans. Scald the salt pork, which should be well streaked with lean, by letting it stand in boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut off two thin slices, one to place in bottom of pot, the other to be cut into bits. Score rind of the remaining piece with a sharps knife. Mix dry mustard, salt, black pepper, and molasses. Alternate the layers of beans in the pot with the molasses mixture and the bits of pork. If you use an onion, bury it in the middle. When the bean pot is full, push the large piece of pork down into the beans with the rind sticking up. Add boiling water to cover, put the lid on, and bake all day (a minimum of 6 to 8 hours) in a 250 degree oven. Check from time to time and add boiling water if needed. Uncover^xit during last hour of baking so the rind can brown and crisp. To this day many old-t,imers believe the rich brown goodness of Boston Baked Beans is largely due to the earthenware bean pot, with its narrow throat and big bulging sides. Lacking one of these pots, you can successfully use any deep earthenware casserole that has a cover. Serves 10 to 12. Kidney Bean Salad 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup vinegar 3 tablespoons cooking oil 4 cups (about lVz cups uncooked) dry kidney beans, cooked, drained 1/2 cup diced celery 1/2 cup thinly sliced green pepper 1/4 cup |hinly sliced onion 2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced -Sperryville Realty - SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703) 987-8088 - Office On Old Rag Mt. and Ragged Run, partially furnished 3 room cabin with fireplace well, 1 acre on state road. $39,000.

Freedom (Continued from Page 1) creating a strong central government without guaranteed rights. Thus the Hill of Rights was duly amended to the Constitution. Of the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Bill, many are unique to English-speaking countries and are based on British Common Law. The Bill of Rights ensures that we art protected by law both by and from the government. Our govern ment is a rule by law rather than a monarch’s whim. The strong central government the Constitution supports allows for a peaceful cohesion of the states. This cohesion is the base on which our interstate commerce is built. It allows for travel anil trade without taxation or hindrance. It also provides a reliable national mail service. It speaks well of the strength of the document" that it has lasted through two hundred years of use. Tested during the Civil War. it stood firm. More recently it absorbed the shock of violent civil rights riots. On a personal level the Constitution allows me the freedom to live and work in the mariner. 1 choose. I may live in the town of my choice, go to my church without fear of reprisal, meet friends in public places without being accountable to anyone for so doing, speak or wrrite in any manner I see fit, and petition my government. / Through the vote,, the Constitution gives us the means to affect di rectly the body governing us. We are also free to run for public office if we so choose. Along with the freedom of our vote goes the responsibility to maintain an ethical government. A representative body is only as wise as the people who place the representatives in office. These freedoms, however, will only last as long as the citizens of our country recognize the need to protect our liberty through the Constitution. • Symbol (Continued from Page 1) French, Spanish and others, the Constitution is made up of some of the most important historical agreements and works of literature prior to its time. The main portion of the Bill of Rights came from the 1689 English Bill of Rights and the Magna Carta of 1215. Other parts of the Constitution came from the French writing Social Contract by Jean Jacques Rousseau and John Locke’s Two Treatises of Civil Government.

This collection of past writings and treaties plus the presence of many of the best political minds of the time made the Constitution the best building block for a strong government ever created. No country has a form of government that has lasted as long as our Constitution. No other country has a governmental basis that can change as its people’s needs changes. This is what sets our Constitution apart from many unwritten constitutions, i.e. Spain. Today the Constitution is the goal which countries such as the Philippines are hoping to reach. To them and to me the Constitution is a Symbol of Excellence. Slaughter (Continued from Page 4) different and better era, ending the proliferation of nuclear weapons.” He noted, however, that the treaty’s verification provisions are “quite complicated, and we need to constantly keep in mind the need to verify whether the agreements are kept.” On the positive side* he said, the treaty marks the firstr time the Soviet Union has agreed to on-site inspections and verifications. It will require “continuing, careful scrutiny. There’s also the enforcement question: what happens if there are violations? We can’t just brush that off — it’s a serious matter.” With recent developments such as the Washington summit, there has been a perception that United States and Soviet relations are thawing after the chill of the first six Reagan years. Rep. Slaughter agreed that “we are all hopeful that these are signs of lessening tension among the superpowers.” It’s important, he stressed, “that we look at and follow developments closely and not be swayed by what is said. We should always be willing to look and make sure that what is said reflects what is being done.” Global policy supported On questions of regional conflicts, Rep. Slaughter supports the Reagan administration. “Our pjsition should be consistent with past policy.” In Afghanistan, “we were opposed to the Soviet invasion, and we still do not approve. We believe that they should remove their military forces — it was completely unjustified.” “I would like to see a breakthrough” in Nicaragua, he said. “United States policy should be to help other Central American countries in any endeavor which has a reasonable chance of success.” Our goal, he added, is the achievement of free and fair elections in which the Nicaraguan people have the right to choose their own representatives, as well as the removal of all foreign military forces, advisors, and elimination of the support which the Soviet bloc has supplied to the Sandinista government. In Haiti, where a recent attempt at free elections was sabotaged by apparently government-supported terrorists, Mr. Slaughter said he approves of the U. S. withdrawal of all aid until elections are held. “I hope that it will be effective — I don’t know about the chances.” Negotiating from strength Although he supports the thaw in U. S./Soviet relations, Mr. Slaughter continues his support of building the nation’s ability to defend itself. “I doubt that the Russians would have been as anxious to negotiate a treaty or understanding on nuclear weapons if there had not been a substantial increase in our armed forces since President Reagan came into office.” “If the downward trend of previous administrations had continued,” he said, “it would have been less likely that the Russians would have wanted to negotiate.” On the President’s Strategic Defense Initiative, Rep. Slaughter said, “It will be helpful. I think there has been enough expert, informed opinion which holds that SDI is practical and can be developed. We should go forward with research and development.” He feels “there is a strength and power in defensive weapons that is a plus in the preservation of peace.” With an effective SDI defense, and the probability that a high percentage of attacking weapons would bd destroyed, “that makes a first-strike not nearly so attractive.” Also, he added, the United States should realize that the Russians have admitted that they are engaged in research and development of such a defense themselves. “They realize too that it could be effective as a defense. They believe that it has a reasonable chance of success.”
