Kitchen addition for jail approved r.oC, C'\ M -AS By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer It may be possible to use the kitchens of the public schools to prepare meals for inmates of the county jail, but it would be neither practical nor economical, according to County Administrator John McCarthy, who recommended last Wednesday that the board proceed with a kitchen addition. ”"r School Superintendent David Gangel and the board’s jail committee — Supervisors Charles Estes and Mike Massie and Sheriff John Henry Woodward — determined at a meeting last month that cafeteria workers couldn’t prepare meals' for prisoners since the school kitchens are staffed only five days a week, nine months of the year. So cooks would have to be employees of the Sheriffs Department. . With a kitchen at the jail, that would mean one additional chef/dietitian position and possibly another half-time slot, since trustees could also assist, Mr. McCarthy noted. But using the school facilities would require at least two full-time chef/dietitians. “I agree with the sheriff that we cannot reasonably expect the state to fund more than one position,” Mr. McCarthy said, adding that additional personnel would have to be paid with local dollars. That would draw at least $10,000 annually from the general fund, the county administrator pm feted. "Further, should the services of school personnel, be they dietitian, custodian or meals staff, prove necessary, a further out-of-pocket cost would be imposed on the county treasury.” ' He also pointed out that the jail has a back-up generator so loss of electricity would not interfere with meal preparation; school facilities, however, have no secondary power source. Further, Mr. McCarthy noted, "the extreme difficulty of assuring meal pickup and delivery, 365 days of the year, three times each day, argues strongly in favor of integrating a kitchen into the jail facility.” He estimated that a jail addition would cost about $120,000, for which the county would be reimbursed .half by the state. The other half could be recouped in five to seven years through increased capacity for holding prisoners from other localities since the addition would include four basement cells, Mr. McCarthy predicted. Following the renovation six years ago which upgraded an overnight lock-up to full jail status, Rappahannock's jail has operated entirely on state funds augmented by payments from other counties for holding their prisoners. In fact, rather than taking local dollars, Sheriff Woodward gave the general fund $10.(XX) last year when revenue gained through the jail’s operation surpassed its expenditures. This cannot continue without an addition to again provide excess capacity, Mr. McCarthy pointed out. Sheriff Woodward has concurred with Mr. McCarthy’s analysis. In an interview last month, he told the Rappahannock Neu's that the average inmate population has increased during the past three years from 7-3/4 to 12 inmates per day. Sheriff Woodward predicted that increase will continue. Besides giving the jail four more cells — which might possibly be used to Wusei juveniles who now must be transporte^Ly/ Fredericksburg or Northern Virginia ahd held there at the county’s expense — an addition would also give the sheriff space for his office. Jhat would consolidate af the local police protection functions in oj building, and free the office in the CJ missioner of Revenue's building for eg( related functions, the county admin/ tor told the supervisors. Specifically, the extra room couk j , used to segregate often-antagonistic wit| nesses for the plantiffs and the accused, Mr. McCarthy said. Now, as they wait in See KITCHEN, p. 12 Legal opinion gives board control of library's sale By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The Library Board doesn’t have the authority to convey property without the prior approval of the Board of Supervisors after a public hearing. ” That was the ruling from county attorney Peter Luke on the question of who “owns” the old Presbyterian Church building on Gay Street which now houses the Rappahannock County Public Library. The issue arose with the Library Board’s plans to build a new library off Route 211 just beyond Washington’s town limits. Word came in bits and pieces. The first public announcement was by way of a petition to the Board of Supervisors to add libraries to the list of uses.allowed by special exception on agriculturally-zoned land. On the heels of Jhe^zonmg’dfainance amendment accomplishing that purpose, the supervisors were asked to issue a special exception permit to the Library Board for two acres donated by Dean Morehouse, a Northern Virginia builder and mayor of the Town of Washington. Lgjjtt parcel, forv merly part of the George Davis property^ is familiar to Rappahannock residents as the site of the'living nativity pageant put on every Christmas by local churches.) According to the library’s trustees, the library has outgrown its present quarters. The old Presbyterian Church doesn’t lend itself to renovation, and, they said, an addition is not feasible because the lot is too small and parking is insufficient. To contentions that the library should remain in town, the trustees reported a two-year search failed to locate affordable property within Washington’s boundaries. And during the course of hearings on the special exception permit for the two acres donated by Mr. Morehouse, the trustees indicated they planned to use the proceeds from the sale of the old Presbyterian Church to help finance construction of a new 5,000-square foot building. But Mr. Luke told the Board of Supenwsors last Wednesday that according to a 1964 opinion from Virginia’s attorney general, library trustees have authority only to accept property, not convey it. “So what’s our next move? They wanted the money from the sale,” noted Supervisor Ellis Bingham. “You’d have to appropriate that [to the trustees],” Mr.'Luke explained. The next question, said Col. Bingham, is whether the Board of Supervisors wants to let the old church go. “We may need that building (for office space) at some point in time as the county grows.” But if that’s the case, the Board of Supervisors will have to appropriate funds to help pay for the construction of a new library, he added. Not only office space but another hearing room for the courts may be necessary “within a five-year time frame,” Mr. McCarthy said. He also suggested that the historic church building should “remain in hands that are going to guarantee its preservation and protection.” “The town, the county and the library board need to sit down aij^cL^tart talking,” maintained Mr. McCarthy, adding that the three entities should determine the value of their assets, both to themselves and to other parties. (According to reports, Washington's Town Council is interested in acquiring the library’s current quarters while the county would like to have the town hall, which is situated much closer to the courthouse complex and government offices. Another problem for the county is the town’s recent amendment of its zoning ordinance to limit county offices to the village services district, which encompasses the courthouse complex, lots on both sides of Gay Street from Mt. Salem Avenue north almost to Middle Street, and the three office buildings and apartment house on the west side of Main Street.). “The earlier that process g<ets started publicly, the better,” the county administrator concluded. See LIBRARY, p. 12 Power outage hits ^Va$hmgtorr\ Towhresidents report televisions, microwaves and VCRs damaged by apparent power surge By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Potomac-Edison customers in the Washington area lost their electric service early last Wednesday morning after a cross-arm broke on a 34,000-volt transmission line between the town and Potomac-Edison’s Sperry ville substation. The outage became more than a routine power failure, however, when town residents discovered that their televisions, video recorders and microwaves had apparently been damaged by the loss of power. Potomac-Edison’s area manager, Harry Saufley, said the line failure occurred about 2 a.m., Jan. 4, during a severe windstorm. When the cross-arm broke it caused two high-voltage lines to touch, which Caused a short and loss of power. Mr. Saufley said that Potomac-Edison is still investigating the incident, and has not determined whether its protective equipment worked properly or not. That equipment includes fuses and reclosers which are designed to shut down power to lines when a fault occurs. “This is not an unusual situation. We haVe protective equipment, but whether it is effective"depen«fc on the situation,” Mr. Saufley said. Carol Miller reported Monday that she had taken an informal survey of her neighbors on the south end of town. According to Mrs. Miller, the 17 residents she contacted said they had a total of seven video cassette recorders, 10 microwave ovens, nine televisions and two telephone answering machines damaged by an apparent surge in power which accompanied the power outage. Mrs. Miller said every resident she contacted, with the exception of two homes on Mt. Salem Ave. which get power from another feeder line, had some report of damage which they attributed to the power outage. Frank Hutchinson, who lives just outside the town limits on Route 211 Businesss, told the Rappahannock News that one of his television seta, which was connected though a surge protector, seemed undamaged. However, the wall outlet had scorch 'tnarks around it, and the surge protector and plug on the end of the set’s cord were melted. Another TV not protected by a surge protector is not working at all, he said. He likened the damage to the power surge caused by a lightning strike, which will also bum out appliances. At least one office in town reported similar problems with the surge protectors on its computers. The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department lost its radio, alarm and intercom system. The radio was out of commission for several days, forcing deputies to communicate with the dispatch office over an alterSee OUTAGE, p. 12 Encore performance Photo courtesy of Virginia Game Commission THOUGH BAD WEATHER hampered the operation, “Sucker,” (shown here with Rappahannock Game Warden Jim Bankston, left, and Enforcement Chief Col.

Robert Wayne Wynkoop, 20, of Route 1 Box 80, Boston, was found guilty in Circuit Court last Thursday of breaking and entering and grand larceny. The two felony charges stemmed from a break-in at Phillip Shackleton's home on Route 231 outside Sperryville last year. According to testimony from admitted burglar Carl Joe Wilson Jr., Wynkoop was his accomplice during the January 1988 break-in. Wilson testified that he suggested the burglary to Wynkoop after noticing, as he hitchhiked to work in Warrenton, that the house seemed vacant. Wilson, who acknowledged that his criminal record includes nine convictions for burglary .and three for auto theft in Oklahoma, said he suggested the burglary to Wynkoop after hearing him talking about “stealing things." He said that both men were broke and planned to sell whatever they could steal for money to buy marijuana. The burglary was not reported until April, when the Shaekletons returned from their winter home in Florida. However, Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department investigator Capt. Ed Streapy testified that he had learned, during an unrelated investigation, that Wilson was working in Warrenton and had sold some items there. After interviewing Wilson’s coworkers, Capt. Streapy determined that the items had been stolen from the Shaekletons. He charged Wilson, who was living in Arizona, with the break-in and theft. Wilsoh was arrested and extradited to Virginia to face the charges. At that time, Capt. Streapy testified, Wynkoop was considered as a witness in the case. His mother had called the-Sheriffs Department and reported that Wilson had left some items at their home, including stereo speakers and a turntable. Wynkoop told Capt. Streapy that he had bought the turntable and a toolbox from Wilson. He said that Wilson had left the speakers at the house. Though Wilson first denied involvement in the break-in, he later confessed and pleaded guilty to two felony charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny. He agreed to cooperate in the investigation, and named Wynkoop as his accomplice. He told Capt. Streapy that they had split up the loot after the burglary. Though they had agreed to sell everything, Wilson testified, Wynncop decided that he wanted to keep the turntable, toolbox and speakers. Wynkoop denied participating in the burglary, and maintained that he had bought the items from Wilson and did not know that they were stolen. After deliberating about three. hours, the jury found Wynkoop guilty of both charges and sentenced him to two 12-month jail terms. Wynkoop remains in the Rappahannock County jail pending sentencing by Judge Carleton Penn.

Ag agent is Cautiously optimistic' about the future of farming in Rappahannock By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “I’m cautiously optimistic,” said Thomas Williams, the county extension agent, assessing the future of the local agriculture industry. Despite the pressures of development, higher taxes, and labor shortages, he sees potential in beef cattle, sheep, grapes for Virginia’s burgeoning wine business, and apples. But with the latter — traditionally the strongest element in Rappahannock’s farming picture — Mr. Williams, himself a life-long Rappahannock farmer and orchardist, also sees a critical need for improved marketing strategies if orchardists are to prosper. Cattle “I see good possibilities for beef cattle, especially for the farmer using rented land . . . Nationwide, the cattle numbers are down, and the beef prices that have been depressed for the last 10 or 12 years are now going up ... I see a definite place in Rappahannock County for the pure-bred cow' man who’s selling seed stock to the commercial man, and I see a definite place for the cow/calf man (who raises calves for sale to the feed lots). We’ve got land around here that produces good grass and good hay. But Rappahannock’s never beeh a grain county. The land's nVt level enough; we don’t get good production, bo we can’t raise the grain that’s needed to puslwi calf from 800 pounds to the 1,200 pound slaugnte*j<veight,” said the extension agent. Sheep “Sheep are another definite possibility. Sheep and cattle go well together grazing,” Mr. Williams continued, adding that the combination has not been tried more often in Rappahannock only because of the potential for losses to marauding dogs. But especially with growing consumer interest in lamb as a dinner table staple, this type of farming holds promise for the future, he said. “Consumers are looking more at salad bars and leaner meat like lamb.” Wine grapes The success of Virginia’s fledgling wine industry is proving that quality grapes for fine wines can be grown in the Piedmont region. And it’s not just to the product but also to the marketing strategies of the producers that Mr. Williams would have Rappahannock farmers look. The wineries are pooling resources to pro mote their wines in the great market of the greater Washington area, he noted. “What they’re doing for wine is what we should be doing for fruits and vegetables,” he contended. To that end, Mr. Williams has an ambitious plan for publicizing Rappahannock’s agricultural products, letting city markets and independent chains such as IGA know what is available just an hour away. And while he thinks the possibilities for a standard farmers market here are limited at present — “Everybody already knows where to go to get fruits and vegetables” — he thinks a large-scale market where urban retailers could buy, say, a truck load of Red Delicious apples may be feasible. Apples Mr. Williams belives that the orchard business in Rappahannock must adjust to the changing times. “Our orchardists cannot sell to the canneries any more. They have to sell to the fresh market or through pick-your-own.” At roadside stands and from the packing houses, farmers can get twice the price paid by the canneries, which now import a substantial portion of cheap, tariff-free apples for juice, Mr. Williams said. “You’ve got to go where the dollar value is, and the dollar value is in the fresh market. But for that you have to have quality fruit — spot free, blemish free, bruise free fruit — and that has to be hand picked, and in Rappahannock, that means by migrant laborers,” he conceded. The proximity to Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia is a mixed blessing, according to the ag extension agent. The metropolitan area presents tremendous marketing opportunities for the sharp farmer and orchardist, but its job market, particularly the “labor hungry construction industry,” is also attracting the workers who might otherwise, be available to harvest apples and do other ta^n labor, Mr. Williams pointed out. “How are you going to get them to pick apples when they can make $6.50 an hour at a fast food place?” “Labor is the problem for farming here,” agreed County Administrator John McCarthy. “From orcharding to running cattle to raising chickens over in the valley. And it’s not so much the expense of paying labor but the difficulty in finding labor.” Neither the county administrator nor the extension agent has an answer for solving the labor crisis. Farming has to be dohe on a large scale in order to justify the purchase of expen sive labor-saving equipment and Rappahannock’s brand of farming is mostly small scale, they agreed. But by careful attention to market trends, profits can be maximized, Mr. Williams noted. He acknowledged that records show a decline in the number of orchards and the number of apple trees in Rappahannock County: 1972:42 orchards; 98,806 trees. 1977: 40 orchards; 87,376 trees. 1982: 28 orchards; 66,098 trees. 1987: 23 orchards; 74,510 trees. And the bulk of the trees — 13,316 — fall in the 22 years old and older category compared to just 890 trees in the one to three year range. But the upswing in numbers of trees for 1987, plus a surge beginning in 1986 and continuing today in the number of bushels produced gives cause for “cautious optimism,” the extension agent maintained. After a hiatus of several years, veteran orchardists are now replanting old orchards, he reported. And new comers are buying small acreage to test the possibilities for new orchards. “They’re going to try to make a go of it,” he said. “Years ago, you bought Red Delicous or you bought nothing,” Mr. Williams said, adding quickly that this handsome favorite is still a good apple popular with growers and consumers alike. “But we’re seeing changes in the tastes of consumers. They want an apple that tastes good and they’re realizing that beauty may only be skin deep.” By taking advantage of this new taste consciousness and the renewed health consciousness and interest in fresh fruit and vegetables on the part of consumers, Rappahannock’s orchardists can do more than just survive — they can thrive, Mr. Williams predicted. Meanwhile, he looks to the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances to protect the farming industry from the competition of the development industry. “There’s great pressure, but so far, our zoning laws have kept it manageable.” As to the sale of Herbert Foster’s farm, Mr. Williams expressed confidence that unlike other properties formerly owned by long-time farming families, this land will stay in agricultural production. “They have a very good cattle operation (at the Dahlgren farm nearby which the owner-to-be purchased previously.) «5>.-They’re going to farm it, and they’re going to ^do it well.” - Board considers spreading Sperryville's sludge at landfill Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority has asked the Board of Supervisors to allow sludge from Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant to be spread at the county landfill. /n relaying the request at last week’s board meeting, County Administrator John McCarthy noted that Rappahannock’s current moratorium on land disposal of the sewage treatment byproduct would not apply in this case since, 1) the arrangement would be between two governmental entities and thus NOW YOUR HOME CAN HELP SAVEYOU MONEY ONYOUR CAR.

Day REALTOR UNTOUCHED TAX BREAKS QUESTION: Have homeowners lost all of their tax breaks under the latest Tax Reform Act? ANSWER: Not by a long shot. In fact, home ownership remains one of the best tax shelters left in the Tax Reform Act. There are four major tax breaks for homeowners which the law did not change. 1. Property taxes remain fully deductible. 2. Interest paid on the mortgage for both primary and second homes remain fully deductible. This is a major concession to homeowners as mortgage interest is normally the largest deduction for the average family. 3. A homeseller can continue to avoid current tax on the sale of the primary home by spending the proceeds on the purchase of another home within a two-year period before or after the sale. 4. Homeowners over age 55 still h?*e the one-time exclusion of the lflfst $125,000 of profit when selling the primary home whether he replaces the home or not.

He pointed out that the earlie# opposition to sludge disposal which led to the moratorium centered on fears that out-of-county sludge — specifically from Washington’s Blue Plains treament facility — would be trucked into Rappahannock. No infringement of fair trade Culpeper County shared Rappahannock’s concerns about opening its doors but in this case, the worries centered on refuse, specifically Rappahannock’s solid waste, Mr. McCarthy noted. If Culpeper took Rappahannock’s trash while this county’s landfill was being constructed (in exchange for Rappahannock’s later getting two loads for every one it sent), would Culpeper also have to accept trash from every other hauler who wanted to use its facility? According to Mr. McCarthy, the answer was no, since the contractual arrangement involved two governmental entities — the boards of supervisors of the'two counties — and not a privatd^business interest. “It wasn’t a free market transaction,” the‘county administrator explained, and therefore the refusal of other waste haulers wouldn’t be considered an infringement of free trade. That same principle also applies to any agreement between the Water and Sewer Authority and the board on disposal of Sperryville’s sludge, Mr. Luke said.

The charges placed Monday follow Walters’ arrest on Jan. 2 for the alleged burglary and theft of property from the home of Howard Wimer, which occurred on Dec. 12, 1988. Mr. Wimer reported a .44 Magnum pistol and a substantial amount of money was stolen. The additional charges, which involve four other burglaries of homes in -the Huntly and Flint Hill area, were placed against Walters by direct indictment by the grand jury based on testimony by Sheriffs Department investigator Capt. Ed Streapy. ' Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke has stated in the past that he prefers to place felony charges by direct indictment because the process eliminates one hearing in General District Court, thus sparing witnesses a trip to court and preventing an additional burden of cases in that court. Under Virginia law, defendants charged with felonies are given a preliminary hearing in General District Court. If, after that hearing, the judge deems there is sufficient evidence to support the charges, they are certified to the Circuit Court for disposition. Direct indictment eliminates that step. Although testimony given to the grand jury is secret, Sheriff John Henry Woodward had stated during his department’s investigation that the five burglaries were similar. All occurred during the afternoon, doors were either forced open or had been left unlocked, and little was disturbed. In fact, the sheriff said, at least one of the Victims had been home for some time before they realized the house had been entered. Walters faces a total of five felony charges of breaking and entering, three misdemeanor charges of petty larceny and one felony count of grand larceny. Petty larceny is charged when the alleged theft in volved items of less than $200 in value. Grand larceny is the theft of items valued at more than $200. Walters remains in the Rappahannock County jail. His bond has been set at $10,000. Burglar sentenced Carl Joe Wilson Jr., who pleaded guilty last year to felony charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny in connection with the burglary of Phillip Shackleton’s home outside Sperryville in January 1988, was sentenced Monday. He received a sentence of 10 years in prison on each charge, to be served concurrently, with all but 118 days-suspended. Wilson will be on probation for two years following his release, and will also be subject to random drug screenings. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke explained that the sentence was requested to ensure that Wilson spent at least 10 months in jail for the two crimes. He must also pay restitution of $953 to Mr. Shackleton within one year. Habitual offenders charged Two men were indicted by the grand jury on .charges of operating a motor vehicle after having been declared habitual offenders. The habitual offender statute is designed to deal with people who have been repeatedly found guilty of serious driving violations, particularly driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and driving while suspended or revoked. Habitual offenders have their driving privileges revoked for 10 years after conviction. •**>*!* Samuel Jennings Taylor, 26, of 301 S. Whiting St., Alexandria, and William Paul Spitzer, 31, of 2919 Labella Walk, Falls Church, were charged with the crime after being stopped for traffic violations in separate incidents last year. A check of their driving records through the Department of Motor Vehicles revealed their convictions as habitual offenders, the warrants allege. See INDICTMENTS, p. 12 he added. With the required fouryear rotation, "five acres vvould be more than what's necessary” for f Sperryville’s sludge, and at least 5 that much area not intended for solid s waste disposal purposes has already f been cleared bn the 99-acre Stover t tract, Mr. McCarthy said. ? “We probably should have a public hearing on it." added^Supervisor Ellis Bingham, the Jackson District 1 representative who was a leader in > the effort to block development of a landfill at the Stover site. Mr. McCarthy later explained \ that in raising the issue, he was merely “sending up a trial balloon." He reported that he had telephoned W$A Chairman'Martin Woodard to ask whether the Sperryville treatment facility will at some future point take the landfill leachte for treatment. He said that Mr. Woodard had the same question regarding the sludge since the WSA’s expense for contracting with a private hauler represents that agency’s major budget “out-flow” after salary. And in both instances, there is no urgency, Mr. McCarthy said, noting that the landfill should not begin to produce leachate for an estimated four years, while the WSA has an agreement with a private hauler.

Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Editorial V An unfortunate case On Tuesday, the county brought its first trash dumping case to Rappahannock County General District Court. An Amissville resident was accused of illegally dumping two bags of trash on the ground at the old dumpster site on Route 642, after the site had been closed. The charge was brought after Sheriff John Henry Woodward discovered several pieces of trash with the man’s name on them. The man’s son testified that he took the trash to the dumpsters, not knowing that the site had been closed. After someone told him about the new landfill on Route 639, he said, he took the rest of the family’s trash there. He had simply forgotten to pick up the two bags left on the ground, he added. The boy’s father asked him one question — his reaction to the charge of illegal dumping. “He grounded me for a week,” the young man told Judge Charles Foley. Telling the boy’s father that “It appears that the culprit has already been punished,” Judge Foley dismissed the charge. Although Judge Foley’s action was probably justified in this case, we hope that he will support, from the bench, the ^ county’s effort to put a stop to illegal dumping. ,~Those who have spent time in courts, in whatever capacity, know that there are nearly as many stories offered for why an offense happened as there are defendants. Some are justified — not everyone accused of a crime is guilty — and indeed everyone is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. But we hope that Judge Foley will look hard at any further illegal dumping cases brought by the county — and at the explanations offered by the defendants. County Administrator John McCarthy assured the Rappahannock News that he intends to continue prosecuting violators, with the assistance of the sheriff and his department. Illegal dumping, while certainly not a huge crime in the larger context, is symptomatic of a lack of concern for others. And, as has been pointed out in this column before, it looks terrible. Trash strewn across the countryside is offensive to residents and to visitors, and those people who are too lazy to dispose of their garbage properly ought to be subject to the full penalty allowed by the law. “We will continue charging people with this offense,” the county administrator said Tuesday, “as long as it will make them come to court and face their responsibility.” Bravo, Mr. McCarthy. Session shaping up busy KEVIN G. MILLER Rappahannock Newi Contributing Writer The General Assembly convened on Jan. 11, and is scheduled to adjourn Feb. 25. During the 1988 session, 1,561 bills and 431 resolutions were introduced. Of these measures, 268 were not acted on but were carried over to this session for consideration by the various committees* The most important bill affecting the residents of the Commonwealth will be the bill amending the budget for the 1988-89 biennium. Individual legislators do not receive the goverr nor’s budget proposals until the session begins, which means there is insufficient time to review budget items and to develop support for changes. I, along with many other legislators, favor a constitutional amendment providing for a recess period after the governor’s budget has been presented. This would allow legislators time to return to their districts and meet with local officials and constituents to analyze the budget’s impact. The result would be more informed presentations to the money committees for amendments. 1 Rappahannock's representatives Listed below are the names, addresses and telephone numbers of Rappahannock County’s elected representatives in the Virginia General Assembly.

Letters to the editor — ■---«■* - - -- - - - - Rescind call for convention To the editor: On Jan. 10, the Virginia Assembly began the 1989 session. One matter that has been held over from 1688 to be considered by the Senate is the most vital issue they will ever bring to a vote. That is HJR 28 to rescind the call by Virginia for a ConstitutionalConvention. The assumed purpose of a Constitutional Convention is to pass a Balanced Budget Amendment. However, there are those who plan to rewrite the Constitution and give us a new form of government once the Convention begins. Anyone that favors a Balanced Budget Amendment should take the easiest method, the congressional process, for passage. Thene-i»>„po chance for a “runaway Convention” in the process. This is the way every amendment has been added since the Bill of Rights. If you want to see the amendments that have been planned for the Constitutional Convention should it be called, go to your library f and read “Reforming American Government” edited by Donald L. Robinson published by Westview Press. Page 57 gives the amendment to change to a parliamentary-type government and page 100 gives the amendment for voting for “party" only, not a candidate. Of course, there is much more, but read it for yourself. There was some fear that a state could not withdraw its call. However, a precedent was set in a previous convention -call where every state withdrew its\all. It can be done and Virginia should withdraw her, call. Call, write or visit your state senator and ask him to consider the possibility of disaster through the Convention and to do all possible to pass HJR-28. Virginia should not be a party to any threat tojtaur freedoms protected solely by^rarCbhsri* tution. It is vital that you contact your state senator and speak out for freedom. It is the most important thing you can do today, so don’t wait until tomorrow. MADGE M. EICHER Warrenton An 'Open Letter' to the 101 st Congress By JOHN MAROCCHI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Your renumeration, and that of some high-level members of the executive and judicial branches, has recently been a prominent topic in the news. Numerous stories and commentaries have addressed the issue, some favorably-fJames J. Kilpatrick, Washington Post, Dec. 26, 1988, p. A25), others critically (Vincent Carroll, Culpeper Star-Exponent, Dec. 29, 1988, page 4). Most coverage has focused on pay for members of the Congress. Following are some thoughts of a senior citizen/taxpayer on this issue, as it applies to members of the United States Congress. How does anyone decide proper levels of compensation? The simplest, most efficient way is: “Let the market do it,” i.e., pay that amount required to obtain the requisite skills in the quantities needed. On that reasonable basis there is no need to raise Congressional salaries. There is no shortage of candidates willing to spend large sums of their money, to devote untold hours to campaigns and to sacrifice time for family and other personal activities. No evidence suggests that the proposed 51 percent salary increase, or -even a 500 percent increase, would improve the quality of candidates. The market, which hardly anyone in politics would ask for an opinion, concludes that no increase is justified. Personnel specialists would never accept the preceding paragraph. For them, important questions to consider include: 1) importance of the work; 2) difficulty of finding qualified applicants; 3) level of compensation elsewhere for comparable work; 4) other benefits, including non-monetary compensation; and, 5) when considering an increase for present workers, has performance merited a raise? Obviously the work of Congress members is important. There are few areas of citizens’ lives, from art to babysitting, from crime to the draft, from earnings to foreign affairs, that Congress does not reach. To recognize this is not, however, to conclude that only a very few special persons — mainly the incumbents,— are capable of doing the work and that we must pay more to keep their services. The founders of our country regarded political office as something any average or above-average citizen could and should do, an obligation performed once or twice in a lifetime, the remainder of which would be devoted to one’s chosen trade or profession. The concept had merit then — and still does. The more we see of “career” legislators, the more we appreciate the foresight and wisdom of the founders. Important? Yes! A career? No! Is it difficult to find qualified applicants for the position of member of the United States Congress? No. volunteers abound. For the “hopeless” U.S. Senate race against former governor Charles H. Robb, four fine candidates appeared, devoting much time and energy competing for the Republican nomination. Is there a high turnover? Again, the answer is a resounding, No! Once elected, rarely does any member withdraw, unless impelled by age, ambition for higher office, illness or serious scandal. If being a member ot Congress were a burden, few would return. That nearly all do merely comfirms its appeal. Is current compensation adequate? The preceding paragraph provides the answer. Besides being “in the nation’s upper-income class ... a plain statistical fact,” according to Vincent Carroll, there are also the non-salary benefits and the nonmonetary returns. These include free travel and generous expense accounts, widespread ffespect and honor, fame (often national), great publicity, wide contacts and connections which almost guarantee a good job for those few members who do leave Congress. Coupled with these “perks,” current compensation is adequate. Then there is the matter of performance. It is not easy for voters to judge a member’s overall contribution. Fortunately, for this purpose it is unnecessary. The proposed increase will apply to all members, so we need only judge the performance of Congress as a whole. What yardstick do we use? “Judge them by results” is an excellent choice. By that measure, recent Congressional performance has been a clear failure: the string of unbalanced budgets, the accumulated deficits, numerous programs that have harmed the nation as much as have helped, some members’ meddlesome involvement in foreign relations (a duty assigned to the President by the Constitution). Mr. Kilpatrick’s column was titled, “Fair Pay for Good Politicians.” Wrong! Members of Congress should be entitled to “Fair Pay for Good Results.” Congress does not deserve all the blame for America’s problems. The other two branches of government and every voter merit a share. Yet no president can spend a penny without Congressional appropriation, and every program requires Congressional consent. Congress cannot dodge a major share of the blame for the economic, fiscal and moral deficits accumulated by the United States. The Congress s lack of proper attention to, and diligent work on, its basic responsibilities; costly, wasteful involvement in peripheral matters; and poor judgment in many decisions all these factors lead this voter and taxpayer to conclude that job performance does not merit a pay raise. There are exceptions, most of whom, not coincidentally, oppose the pay raise. There is the question of equity, defined in one dictionary as, “The quality of being equal or fair . . . even-handed dealing.” Mr. Kilpatrick makes the point that the higher salaries are “fair.” Why? "... the proposed increases would not even restore the purchasing power . . . epjoyed 20 years ago.”; '< However, if no member of Congress should lose purchasing power, equity demands the same for all citizens. Consider a case which could be repeated a million times over. A friend purchased land for investment in 1966, paying $20,000. In 1987, the parcel sold for $130,000, arj apparently handsome profit. But was it? Income laws passed by Congress and his state legislature resulted in a 33 percent tax on the! $110,000 profit, leaving about* $74,000 (plus the original $20,000 in:! vestment). Now consider the impact of inflation. In 1987, $1 was worth about 16 cents compared to a 1966 dollar, so that my friend’s $94,000 had an actual purchasing power of around $15,000. Having invested $20,000 more than 20 years ago, paying annual property taxes and other costs, my friend was a sad loser. What difference does this make, and how does it apply to the pro^ posed pay increase for members of Congress? It helps explain why few Americans today invest for the long term; why leveraged buyouts and their quick profits are popular; wh$ our savings rate is near four percent compared to 20 percent in Japafi (which has no tax on capital gains); and therefore why the United States is falling behind 'industrially despite some of the world’s finest inventors ’ workers and managers. Almost atone, congress createq the depreciating dollar, which destroys the willingness to save. With-i out savings needed to improve' industries, our living standards and freedoms are increasingly at risk. Blame Congress for this. Consider another assault on equ> ity: the special “tax” on seniors’ income ordered by Congress in 1988.J Aimed at improving Medicare health! insurance, the “Medicare Cataatrophic Coverage Act of 1988” re-' quires everyone covered by; Medicare to pay each year “an additional supplementary medical insurance premium” of $48. And since that modest premium does not cover the cost of the pro- * gram, approximately half the af-, fected seniors — those who were, careful, who did without during their working years to save for old age and retirement — are penalized. They will pay an added “annual supplementary premium” (a surtax is a better name) of $22.60 for each $150, See LETTER, p. 5 j 4

Publisher named to race commission By LOUISA WOODVILLE Arundel Newspaper* Staff Writer RICHMOND — Governor Gerald L. Baliles announced his appointees to the five-member Virginia Racing Commission Jan. 5. This commission, which includes Arthur W. Arundel of The Plains, president of Arundel Communications and publisher of the Rappahannock News, will oversee horse racing in Virginia. It will regulate pari-mutuel wagering and select the site of a race track or tracks from submitted applications. Virginians voted overwhelming in favor of pari-mutuel wagering in a referendum held this past November. “This large new undertaking in the state has got to be done with the highest degree of excellence consistent with Virginia’s centuries old traditions in its horse sports and industry and with no mischief in the works,” Mr. Arundel said. Other committee members selected by Gov. Baliles are Leonard W. Walters of Gloucester, a former assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; John Hale Shenefield of Arlington, who works at the U.S. Department of Justice; Fred G. Pollard of Richmond, an attorney and former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia; Audrey Dixon of Richmond, who is the director of manufacturing planning at Philip Morris U.S. A. in Richmond. Both Mr. Walters and Mr. Shenefield have law-enforcement experience from which they can draw in formulating the rules and regulations governing pari-mutuel; Mr. Walters was an investigative consultant to the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee, and Mr. Shenefield and Mr. Pollard are attorneys. Mr. Shenefield is with the Wash Letter t Continued from page 4 of federal income tax liability, up to a 1989 cap of $800 for each person, or ^$1,600 per couple. Where is the equity? If Congress intended the 1988 Medicare Act to provide improved medical insurance for those over 65, it violated the basic insurance principle that persons at equal riskpay equal premiums. If Congress intended to provide added kjxpayer-funded benefits for those <>>er 65, it violated the principle that taxes are bom equally by all citizens of comparable income. 1 What is the conclusion? The case for the proposed salary increase for members of Congress is not supportable. Their work is important, but no one is drafted or forced into the job. Applicants fight for the privilege, and there is no shortage of qualified candidates. Present compensation is well above average, and it is increased greatly by expense accounts, allowances and valuable non-monetary returns. Most important, recent job performance has been unsatisfactory. To end on a positive note: should the Congress act swiftly to balance the budget, to enact tax legislation that is simple and fair, to'face with honesty and courage the economic and social ills that threaten individual Americans and the future of the country, then we should consider a pay increase. But not befor^ A retired Navy admiral, John Marocchi is a Sperryville resident. He is a former chairman of the county Republican committee, and a longtime political activist. 1 Financial aid Seminar at RCHS As the Class of 1989 prepares for graduation, those intending to go on to college have many questions *bout how to pay for a college education. At the same time, each year millions of dollars in scholarships, loans ; and work study grants and scholarships go unclaimed because students don’t apply for them. In order to give parents and students information on how to get money for college, the Rappahannock County High School is sponsor-^ ing a workshop titled, “Money for College.” Debbie Harper, Director of Financial Aid for Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, will explain the numerous types of funding, where money is available, and how and when to apply for it. The workshop will be held on ^Thursday, Jan. 12 at 1:15 p.m. in the library at RCHS. Parents of seniors and others interested in this program are strongly encouraged to attend, said James Futrell, the high school’s Director of Guidance. “As a counselor,” Mr. Futrell added, “I feel that this is an important service to offer to our students and community. I hope that everyone will take advantage of this opportunity.” ington firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, and Mr. Pollard is counsel to the Richmond firm of Williams, Mullen, Christian and Dobbins. “Governor Baliles has appointed a well balanced commission highly competent to address the mandate of the General Assembly to bring parimutuel racing to Virginia,” said Mr. Arundel. The commission is structured so that members’ terms are staggered from one to five years. M . Shenefield will serve one year, Mr. Walters two, Mr. Dixon three, Mr. Arundel four, and Mr. Pollard five. They will elect a chairman and an executive secretary to oversee day-today activities. “It would be premature to speculate now on any other aspect of the Commission’s plans or deliberations,” said Mr. Arundel. Mr. Arundel is president of Arundel Communications, Inc., which publishes a group of newspapers which cover much of Piedmont Virginia, including The Loudoun Times-Mirror, Reston Times, The Fauquier Democrat, Rappahannock News, The Clarke Courier, Herndon Times-Herald, Vienna Times, Eastern Loudoun Times, Front Royal News, and the Centerville Times Courier. The long-time horseman was the force behind the organization of the Great Meadow Outdoor Foundation, established in 1982. The 540-acre equestrian park outside The Plains was created to provide a permanent home for the Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase and other non-profit open space community events. Mr. Arundel is chairman of the 64-year-old Virginia Gold Cup race meeting and a founding director of the Virginia Steeplechasing Association. Throughout his life Arundel has been involved with horses. A polo player since his Harvard days in the ’50s, he continued to pursue the sport after a four-year stint in the Marines. He then took up race-rid ing, winning among others the Warrenton point-to-point. Arundel was with the CBS News Washngton Bureau in 1956 and then assistant to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce in 1959-60. Steeplechasirjg has continued to be a source of enjoyment and success. Under the direction of Maryland trainer Charles Fenwick, Jr., Arundel’s steeplechase horse, Sugar Bee, was named Timber Horse of the Year in 1985 by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association. Today he is an avid fox hunter with the Orange County Hunt. He serves on the Board,of Directors of the General George C. Marshall Foundation, and he is co-founder and past president of the Friends of the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. and the African Wildlife Foundation. * He is a member of the board of dirctors for the Piedmont Environmental Council. Four of the five commission members have post graduate degrees; Dixon an MBA from New York University, Pollard a law degree from University of Virginia, Shenefield a law degree from Harvard, and Walters a graduate degree from Benjamin Franklin University in Washington, D.C. Gov.Balilies emphasized the Arundel’s horses are not flat-track racers; they are foxhunters, timber prospects and steeplechasers. The governor sees no conflict of interest in his appointment. The commission is charged with selecting sites for race tracks from among applications filed. The final decision on building a track in a particular place will be made only with the approval of the jurisdiction’s voters, which must pass the measure in a referendum. The commission will also oversee operations at race tracks, regulating the industry with an eye toward discouraging the entrance of organized crime into the sport in Virginia.

Tangerines: Nature's 'zipper fruit' BY SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economic* Tangerines are exciting — both taste-wise and calorie-wise. They are surrounded by an aura of mystery as the name itself, derived from that faraway and romantic city of Tangier in Morocco, suggests. No longer is there great mystery about tangerines. Today’s .consumer has discovered that you can use the whole thing — peel, meat or juice in exotic flavorful dishes. The smart consumer will also keep tangerines within easy reach of youngsters for a quick, healthful snack. Are you one of today’s smart con sumers who want to know what you are buying? To “smarten you up,” as the Pennsylvania Dutch would say, here is how you identify eaoji variety of tangerine. You may find these marketed as tangerines or by these individual variety names: Mandarins have a lighter orange color than the other varieties with a mild sweet flavor and few seeds. Tangelos are a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit. The grapefruit makes the size larger and creates a delicious tart-sweet flavor. Temples are a cross between a tangerine and an orange. They tend to be large and similar to a orange in flavor. Actual tangerines are the pebbly-skinned variety that are traditional at Christmas, sometimes with stem and leaf attached. Often called nature’s “zipper" fruit, tangerines are popular for their eating convenience and juicy, sweet flavor. Tangerines are in season from December to April.

Atkins, who went to be with Jesus, January 9,1985. Four long years have passed. Since I saw your dear face last But soon my loneliness will be o'er, And I'll meet you on that beautiful shore For Jesus has said I can come there, To share the Heavenly mansion so fair. You trusted your Saviour day by day. I'm sure now you know there was no better way. I, too, am glad you trusted the Saviour, For now you are reaping His favours. It surely must be wonderful up there, Away from this old world's sinful cares Jesus has promised this in. His Book, And oh the joy upon the pages, as I look. So I'll travel on and do my best, And ere long come up there to rest. .Your devoted wife, Marie Help 101 Wanted Accountant specializing in tax accounting with 2-3 years experience Position required to develop tax department for multi state, multi entity corporate group.

Outage Continued from page 1 nate radio frequency not affected by the power surge. Mr. Saufley said Monday that customers who have electric appliances which they think may have been damaged by the power surge which accompanied the outage should contact Potomac-Edison’s Luray office. Ken Mahaney, the area’s line superintendent, is handling damage claims. Customers should call (800) 2376045 to report damage. Mr. Saufley said they should be prepared to tell r«Mr, .Mahaney 1) what equipment is damaged; 2) what problem the equipment is having; 3) when the damage occurred; and 4) any details about what and how it happened. If the equipment is repaired, he added, the customer Should save any estimates or receipts, including descriptions of the damage. Mr. Saufley stressed that the Library Continued from page 1 Quiet but not secret Responding to charges that plans for a new county library were developed in secrecy, Trustee William Young told the supervisors, “There really hasn’t been any intent to be secretive. But we’ve moved quietly, I suppose.” At its meetings, the Friends of the Library has been discussing possibilities for a new building for two years, he noted. Representatives of this large group, which has an open membership, have “talked to every landowner we could think of in and around town who might be willing to sell us or give us land,” Dr. Young said. The Friends found no one willing to donate land and only two property owners willing to sell, both at prices too high to be feasible, he added. “There is no way we can expand at the current site,” Dr. Young repeated, pointing out that the church lot is in the middle of a residential area where providing adequate parking presents an “insurmountable problem.” Currently, the Library Board of Trustees is interviewing architects and hopes to have a preliminary design and site plan to submit to the Planning Commission by the end of March, Dr. Young said. Funds on hand are sufficient to cover initial architectural fees. “We won’t be in need of more cash until this fall,” he apprised the board. He estimated the start of construction to be a year away and the completion two years distant. outage is still under investigation, and that no determination has been made by Potomae-Edison as to its responsibility for damage to property belonging to its customers. “If it is something which we were responsible for, then we would reimburse the customers. But if it is an ‘act of God,' ” that would not be something the utility could take responsibility for, he said. He suggested that, if the utility determines that it is not responsible for the damage, then customers could also seek reimbursement for repairs to damaged appliances through their homeowers’ insurance policies. As of Jan. y, Mr. Saufley said, about, a dozen customers have called with' reports of damage which they link to the power outage. At this point, Mr. Saufley said on Monday, Potomac-Edison has riot completed its analysis of the crossarm failure. A final determination of the company’s responsibility would come after the analysis is completed and the report is reviewed by the company’s legal department, he said. He declined to offer a date wtten that might be done, explaining, |I’d hate to give you a timetable and then not be able to stick to it.” Cindy Mahan, another town resident who said that her answering machine was damaged by the outage. called the Luray office on Monday with a damage report. She said she was told that the company would contact her in about 10 days with some word on the status of her claim. Kitchen Continued from page 1 the ground floor hall or anteroom of the courthouse to be called to testify, witnesses for the two sides are “scatter-shot together," a situation which could jeopardize the outcome of a trial, he added. And finally, the county administrator pointed out that when the jail was renovated six years ago, the cost share was 80 percent state and 20 percent local. The split is now 5050. “The trend has shown clearly that state funding to localities is going down,” he said, adding that delay may find the county paying an even larger percentage. “My recommendation is we should be looking very seriously at building a jail addition in the next fiscal year,” Mr. McCarthy concluded. # “I softened on this business," volunteered Stonewall-Hawthorne Distinct Supervisor Nelson Lane, a longtime opponent of a jail kitchen and an adv(feate for contracting with an outside party for the jail’s food service. “I think the days are over for running hot meals up and down the highway in the back qf^ripickup truck,” he acknowledged, asking for an estimate on how long the jail with an addition would provide adequate capacity. “I don't see any reason why that jail couldn’t hold our prisoners safely for at least the next 10 years,” Sheriff Woodward answered. He explained that Rappahannock’s jail has been crowded only when prisoners have been held for other localities which have been caught in space crunch by delays on the part of the state in accepting its prisoners. “If the state would take prisoners in a timely fashion, we’d all be fine!" Formerly, those receiving terms of a year or less served their time in local jails rather than state penitentiaries, the sheriff said. "Now if they get less than four years, the state's leaving them right in the local jails m p*.

I’ve got two who are going before the parole board in Culpeper next week and they’re going to be paroled from my jail.” “That’s because it’s cheaper for the state to leave them here and pay you [than to bring them into the penitentiary system]," noted Supervisor Charles K. “Pete" Estes, who is a former Rappahannock County sheriff. He recalled it was the board’s intent to have an in-house kitchen when the jail was renovated six years ago. “If we’d had the money, we’d have done it last time,” the Piedmont District representative said, adding that lack of funds forced the project to be handled “piecemeal.” Design plans will be submitted to the Department of Corrections by Sept. 1. 1989, and after approval from that agency, Rappahannock’s representatives in the General Assembly will be asked to submit an appropriations bill in the 1990 session for the stye's 50 percent reimbursement of construction costs. * Lawrence. gnd Lawrence, the Warrenton firm providing architect tural services, has agreed to defer billings until May 1989 so payment can be made-jfrom the county’s budget for fiscal year 1990. Construction bills are likewise to be paid from tthe 1990 budget with state reimbursement to come in that same fiscal year, according to Mr. McCarthy. Bill Frizzell, the new owner of the Hampton Inn restaurant which currently supplies meals for jail inmates under a contract which will expire this July, has agreed to continue the food service if the county is proceeding with the kitchen addition, Sheriff Woodward reported. "Mr. Frizzell gave me his word. He’s willing to take up the slack. He’s willing to do it for a full year or more if we’re going to build our own kitchen at the jail.” Dunn's 3-pointer clinches win b> joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer It was the kind of shot boys all over the country imagine themselves making when they’re shooting around in their backyards: the game is tied, there are only two seconds on the clock, and you let it go from the baseline — swoosh. Eric Dunn probably sank that shot a hundred times in the gym and on the playground, but none were as exciting as the one that capped a 6360 victory for the Rappahannock Panthers Monday night over Bull Run rival George Mason. The win put RCHS in a three-w'ay tie atop the district with Strasburg and Central. Early in the fourth period the Panthers appeared to have the game well in hand. With seven minutes left, an Anthony Porter layup gave Rappahannock a 50-38 lead. The Mustangs looked tired after going the distance with only two substitutions, while Coach Gary Leake had traded often between court and bench and used 11 players to keep his troops fresh. The Panthers held the Mustangs at bay for the next l'/i minutes but could not finish them off. Then with a little over four minutes on the clock, GM cut the lead to under 10, 48-56, for the first time since the opening period. Next, Rappahannock went cold for 2Vz minutes while George Mason added a three-pointer, a charity shot and a bucket by Joey Romer to reduce the margin to two, 54-56. Both teams traded foul shots and .with 54 seconds on the clock, Rappahannock was up by only one, 58-57. Romer had a chance to give his team the lead from the charity stripe but missed twice. Porter grabbed one of his game-high 15 rebounds for the Panthers and passed the ball to Doug Smith, who was fouled. Smith sank them both and the Panthers led, 60-57. FolltTwing a time out George "Mason's Rob Marisko s,ank a threepointer with nine seconds showing tyid for the first time since the opening" minutes, the game was tied, 60 all. Leake called a time out and gathered his boys for the final play. It was set up for one of his guards to take the ball to the left and pass it to the open man. Instead, Julian Groves took it to the right and passed it to Dunn who nailed it from the corner. Coach Leake sees the win as one of the finest efforts by a Rappahannock squad and added that it was done in the Bull Run’s toughest gymnasium. It was also the first win MODULAR CONCEPTS OF VA., LTD.

The JV Panthers made it interesting in the final period of their game with George Mason, coming from 13 points down to tie it at 38. Paul Hitt scored all the Panthers’ 12 points in the fourth period by connecting on three three-pointers and another three-point play the oldfashioned way. Then the young Panthers self-de structed and Hitt drew two technicals on route to a 44-38 defeat. In last Saturday’s Bull Run District headliner, the RCHS Panthers led the Strasburg Rams for three quarters, only to be outscored by 14 points in the fourth. The 57-51 defeat, the first of the season, came after an 18-day layoff for Rappahannock. The win put Strasburg on top the district pile, but the Rams had just three days to enjoy their sole possession of Bull Run’s first place as they w ere defeated by George Mason on Monday. Also at home last Saturday, the Junior Panthers owned the court, as Tony Atkins (14 points) and Kenneth Baldwin (13 points) led Rappahannock’s junior varsity squad to a 58-27 win over Strasburg.

Compton is also charged with a misdemeanor count of petty larceny in the theft of the hog. He was relieved of his duties at the jail on Nov. 15, according to Sheriff John Henry Woodward, “for conduct unbecoming an employee of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department.” Compton w^as arrested on Nov. 21.

The charge resulted from a dispute over hunting permission between Mr. Hawkins, Jenkins and Wayne and Leroy Sisk. According to the complaint, Jenkins and the Sisks used gasoline to set multiple fires in Mr. Hawkins’s fields after he refused to give them permission to hunt op his property. After reaching a plea agreement with the Commonw'ealth, Jenkins pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge of maliciously setting fires. Judge Carleton Penn suspended all but 60 days of the 12month jail term and placed him on probation for one year. He was also fined $700 and ordered to serve 40 hours of community service.
