Old Rag Bulletins NPR offers performance National Public Radio will feature the Golden Key Performance Group on its "Performance Today" program on Thursday, Jan. 26. The show will be broadcast on West Virginia Public Radio at 9 a.m. and on WETA-FM from Washington, D. C. at noon. According to Golden Key member Paul Reisler, a three-member NPR crew came to the group's interdisciplinary workshop last Friday, Jan. 20, and spent about five hours interviewing the artists and recording for the show. Mr. Reisler said the crew collected so much material that the usual 10-minute format of the "Performance Today" show may be , doubled to feature a 20-minute segment on the workshop. Miller named Minority Whip State Senator Kevin G. Miller of Harrisonburg, who represents Rappahannock County in the Virginia ^Senate, was elected as the party's Minority Whip last week following the retirement of Sen. Wiley F.

The public is invited to attend this event, which begins at 8 p.m. In the photo above, members of the group warm up before beginning the day’s activities at the Town Hall. Town planners ask for comment op ARB expansion, smoke detectors By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer After^rying without success to muster a quorum at its last several scheduled meetings, Washington’s Planning Commission got four members together Tuesday. The four, Chairman William Wickens, Vice Chairman Bill Frizzell and recent appointees Mitzie Younp and Louise Vandort, wasted no time in moving the commission into action. Reviewing a proposed ordinance amendment which would increase the size of the town’s Architectural Review Board from three members to five, the members found they differed on the advisability of the change. ARB Secretary Jim Thomasson, who attended the meeting as a spectator, noted that his impending move out of town will mean his resignation from the board. “I don’t know where you’re going to get two — actually three — more members.” Given the town’s small population, Mr. Thomasson questioned the need for more members. Though the meeting was not a formal public hearing, Mr. Thomasson, his wife Nan (a member of the Town Council) and Mayor Dean “I have fled here from the subdivision mentality. I suggest that anyone with that subdivision mentality should get off at Manassas and enjoy themselves. ” — William Wickens Planning Commission chairman Morehouse all offered comments on the commission’s plans. “You struggle to get your own quorum,” Mr. Thomasson said, referring to the Planning Commission’s past problems which have impeded its efforts to rewrite the town’s subdivision ordinance and begin the state-required review of its cpmprehensive plan. “I think we have a well-functioning board,” Mr. Thomasson told the planners. “The only problems we have had were when we have not been familiar with the ordinance before taking action, or,” he added, “when a member attempted to influence the design function or forgot the intent of the ordinance. The problem is not with the number of members, but with the intent of its members.” “The ARB,” Mr. Wickens agreed, “works best when the members visit the site and are familiar with the project beforehand.” As the author of the Historic District Ordinance, which the ARB administers, Mr. Wickens noted, “The ordinance is designed to keep out the ugly and incongruous — but it is not designed for you as a group to go around and impose your taste on the community.” Offering an admitted cliche to sum up the situation, Mr. Thomasson said, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” And, he added, “if you can’t fix See PLANNERS, p. 16 Schools still seek volunteer tutors By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Penny Grant remembers, when she was a student, a tutor who volunteered her time to help the young girl. Ms. Grant has graduated, but she still returns to school. Only this time the tables have turned, and Ms. Grant is tutoring students at Rappahannock County High School. Her reason is simple. Ms. Grant remembers her tutor’s encouragement and the contribution it made to her education, and she’d like to return the favor to some of today’s students. Ms. Grant is one of a number of county residents who volunteer their time to tutor students at the county’s two schools. But more tutors are still needed, according to volunteer coordinator April Heddleston. The program, Mrs. Heddleston explained, began this year as a response to the Virginia General Assembly’s mandate that students who score in the bottom onequarter on grade-level standardized tests receive special assistance and instruction. With Rappahannock’s limited budget, the logical place to appeal for help was to the county’s residents, she said. And the response has been gratifying. The tutors personify the diversity of the county’s residents. There are recently-graduated young adults, married and unmarried, including mothers who have small children of their own. There are retired people who volunteer at the schools in the afternoon. And there are others who work full-time, but who squeeze in a few hours when they can to help the county’s young students. According to Mrs. Heddleston, it’s not necessary to have any teaching or tutoring experience to volunteer. A former teacher herself, Mrs. Heddleston supervises the volunteer tutors and provides guidance. New tutors get training in using the program’s materials and in supervisory techniques. And if they have questions or problems, Mrs. Heddleston is available to tutor the tutors. So far, she said, 20 residents have volunteered. Not Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan VOLUNTEERING TO TUTOR, Penny Grant (second from left) works with Troy Foster (left) as Shannon Williams, and Tammy Atkins (right) work with tutor Susan Fox (second from right). all are actively working with students, but are available if needed. “On behalf of Superintendent Gangel, the county’s schools and its students, I’d like to thank all the members of the community who have come forward to help. We are very grateful,” she said. Many of the volunteers have come from the ranks of the county’s literacy volunteers, originally organized to teach adults to read. “It’s really the same thing,” the coordinator explained, “to tutor high school or elementary students or to teach adults to read.” But Mrs. Heddleston would like to reach even more See TUTORS, p. 16 1 rrt' * LJ\ Agency heads make pitch School site, office space are key needs By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “The county complex needs office space and the school board needs to consider buying land," concluded John McCarthy, summarizing the informal needs assessment conducted by the Planning Commission in its ongoing revision of Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan. For last week’s commission meeting, agency heads and constitutional officers were asked to report on their anticipated space requirements for the next five years. The request originated with Hampton District Supervisor Mike Massie and came in response to former board chairman E.P. Luke’s complaints about the county’s lack of planning for capital improvements such as the landfill, the jail renovation and expansion, and the new library. The superintendent of schools and the two county extension agents appeared in person at Wednesday’s meeting; other agencies responded in writing to the county administrator. Repeating a presentation given at the January School Board session, Superintendent David Gangel told the commissioners that with an annual growth rate of one to two percent, the elementary school will be at the “trigger” enrollment of 610 in four years and with a four percent growth rate, the “trigger" would be reached in just one year. (With planning and design taking a year, the wait for Literary Loan funds now two years, and construction taking another year, the “trigger” comes four years prior to capacity to allow time for expansion before that capacity is hit.) “We are very vulnerable to being overrun by numbers,” said Dr. Gangel, noting that a change in the county’s zoning laws or a sudden influx of people could result very quickly in an overburdened and overcrowded elementary school. It is possible to expand the elementary school by adding a middle school wing for sixth, seventh and eighth grades which would essentially be a “school within a school,” the.superintendent said. “That makes the most sense from a cost standpoint,” he acknowledged, adding that it could then be possible to use some existing facilities, such as cafeteria and septic systems. But that would swell the enrollment at RCES to over 1,000 and would “radically change the character of the schools we have in Rappahannock County,” Dr. Gangel said. The excellent relationships which now exist between teachers, administrators and students are possible only because the county’s schools are so small, he told the planners. “My preference is a separate middle school,” the superintendent added, giving a “very rough estimate” of $3.5 million for such a capital expansion. In addition to planning for enrollment growth, any assessment of school needs must take into account the fact that sections of the high school built in 1956 “are going to be obsolete in another 10 or 15 years,” maintained Commissioner Werner Krebser. See NEEDS, p. 16 No impact seen from dinners By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Dr. Werner Krebser tried and failed last week to muster much support from his fellow planning commissioners for restrictions on the county’s bed-and-breakfast inns. The Wakefield District representative had called last month for regulations to prohibit food service other than breakfast at these country inns and further proposed that the county consider imposing a lodging tax on the B & Bs. “You have a bedroom there, and you get breakfast, and that’s it (under the terms of the applicable zoning permits),” Dr. Krebser maintained at Wednesday’s monthly meeting of the Planning Commission. By offering evening meals, bed-and-breakfast inns become restaurants; then their presence constitutes spot zoning and encourages a proliferation of commercial uses throughout Rappahannock’s agricultural and conservation areas, he argued. Permitting bed-and-breakfast inns to provide dinner is also “unfair to the restaurants in town that have to comply with all kinds of regulations” set by the Health Department, added Dr. Krebser, who owns the building in Washington which houses the Village Cafe. “If they want to have a restaurant, they ought to open one in Amissville. They ought to open one in Flint Hill or in Sperryville — not out in the countryside.” Zoning Administrator John McCarthy countered that the impact of six vehicle trips per day — the maximum expected to be generated by inns limited to accommodations for 12 overnight guests — won’t change if customers eat and go home instead of staying the night. “I fail to see how the intensity of the use would be any different.” In addition, he noted that the county has established a precedent for allowing restaurants in agricultural areas by approving a special use permit for a 25-seat dining room as part of the Ibarque Lodge’s six-room bed-andbreakfast. As to having an unfair advantage over more tightlyregulated restaurants, Mr. McCarthy pointed out that bed-and-breakfast inns are inspected and licensed by the Health Department in much the same manner. Dr. Krebser said he saw no problem with the Ibarque Lodg$sinee its owners had stated their intentions at the outset. “They’re doing what they said they were going to do. That’s not the same with B & Bs. . . . You’re going to have restaurants everywhere in the countryside, and they are commercial establishments, so how are you See B & B, p. 15

Region's delegation looks at tax options ByMARY K BLEWITT Arundel New.pupcr, Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — A handful of local tax options were spilled out on the table at a meeting of the Norther11 Virginia legislative delegation Monday, Jan. 23. An income tax option without a referendum was presented to the delegation followed by proposals for impact fees, gasoline, recordation Mid hotel room tax increases. The words of Gov. Gerald L. Baliles echoed around the conference room as members of the delegation sought genuine solutions” to the transportation problem plaguing areas of Northern Virginia. trov. tsaiiles has proposed permitting localities to grant a local surcharge of up to one percent on the state income tax. The tax would have to be approved by the local voters and dedicated solely to transportation needs. Although it could raise up to $213 million a year in Northern Virginia, the proposed bill could also increase softie individual tax bills by up to 20 percent. Several legislators were wary of the proposal. “I don’t think it will fly,” said Sen. Kevin G. Miller, (R26th). “I don’t believe that there’s any locality that will pay a 20 percent tax,” Miller said. Sen. Joseph V. Gartlan Jr. (D36th), introduced even bolder legislation. Gartlan’s “suicide pact” follows the model of the governor’s proposal; however, it eliminates the local referendum and extends the tax to corporations. Funds would be Education, the Rappahannock nance establish reasonable test• teg requirements to insure citizens’compliance with existing federal or state drinking water quality standards. of the county Board of Supervisors and the county administrator, said Miller. The only foreseen by Miller is residents would be inconve directed to either transportation, education or service needs. Gartlan said he recognized the practical political risks for those facing re-election this year to support his bill. Support for the bill, however, was evident, said Gartlan, at a recent Mount Vernon town meeting of more than 200 people. The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors also voted 7-1 in favor of Gartlan’s proposal, reported Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-33rd) Gartlan insisted he was not in competition with the governor, but said rather that the governor had encouraged him to introduce his bill. Sen. Charles J. Colgan (D-29th), proposed another option to the Northern Virginia delegation. Colgan currently has a bill in the Senate Finance Committee that would grant the governing body of Prince William County the authority to impose impact fees on developers. The fees are designed to compensate the county for necessary road improvements generated by the development. Colgan promotes his bill as being more equitable than the income tax proposals and may amend the bill to encompass a broader scope of Virginia. Gasoline taxes would increase by five cents a gallon or five percent a gallon under bills proposed by Sen. Clive L. DuVal II (D-32nd), and Sen. Robert L. Calhoun (R-30th). Fairfax County would raise about $17 million with a five-cent tax increase, said DuVal. The people of Fairfax County would prefer the five percent tax, DuVal said later, because they expect gasoline prices to rise. The bills would be limited to Northern Virginia localities. Funds received from the tax would be dedicated to transportation needs. Del. Dorothy S. McDiarmid (D35th), plans to propose another tax increase. Currently the Common wealth permits local governments to impose a recordation tax of one-third of that proposed by the state. Mrs. McDiarmid is proposing an optional recordation tax for localities equivalent to the state recordation tax. Duval is also proposing an increased tax for transient occupancy, which would require visitors to share the road costs. With several options presented, Northern Virginia legislators are still divided among their choices of local tax options. But with increasing pessimism about the survival of the governor’s proposed one-percent local option (tax, members of the legislature are looking for legislation to fall back on. Patrons of the proposed local tax bills have acknowledged that their bills are not carved in stone and have expressed a willingness to amend them to reach a “genuine solution.” Terry says plate 'full/ with plenty to digest By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Attorney General Mary Sue Terry released her lt)89 legislative package Friday, Jan. 20, focusing on criminal law, insurance regulatory reform and consumer protection. Ms. Terry, who is up for re-election this year, admitted that her package was modest with no major hlockbusters, but added that there was plenty for the General Assembly to digest. “We’ve got enough on our plates,” said Terry. “There’s some heavy duty stuff in here. ” In criminal law, a subject that has caught the attention of many legislators this session, Terry has proposed a constitutional amendment that would permit the proceeds attained from sales of drug dealers’ assets to be dedicated to law enforcement activities. Currently in Virginia, the constitution requires all assets forfeited as a result of drug violations to go to the school construction fund. Under a bill proposed by the attorney general, proceeds from the sale of property confiscated for drug offenses would be exempt from this fund in Foothills Assn seeks members The Foothills Travel Association of Virginia swings into its third year with a membership drive and a Feb. 1 deadline for membership listing in the 1989 Foothills brochure.

THAT’S NO WAY TO AVOID TRAFFIC RAPPAHANNOCK RAPIDAN COMMUTER SERVICES A FREE SERVICE for the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock, Virginia CALL 703/8X5*2739 order to provide additional funds to aid Virginia law enforcement in the war against drugs. “I don’t think that’s a way to fund law enforcement," said Sen. Kevin G. Miller (R-26th), who voted against the legislation, which lost in the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections. In another effort to crack down on the drug problem, Ms. Terry has recommended the General Assembly establish a program of voluntarily pre-trial drug testing as a condition of bond for those arrested on criminal charges. Results from the tests would not be permitted as evidence against the defendant, but would be used to determine the conditions of the pre-trial release. Past programs have shown that a large percent of people submit to the test because they believe it will help them to make bond, said Terry. Under another proposal, prisoners would be required to exhaust the system of grievances within the Department of Corrections before they may file lawsuits relating to rights violations. The aim is to resolve many of the disputes before they reach the courts. H. Lane Kneedler, chief deputy attorney general, said that an estimated 75,000 grievances, or an average of six per inmate, were filed in Virginia last year, costing the state millions of dollars. Drunk drivers who cause fatal accidents would be guilty of involuntary manslaughter under the vehicular homicide bill proposed again this year by Ms. Terry. The statute is an attempt to make it easier to obtain a homicide conviction for those who kill while in violation of the DUI law. Terry is also proposing continued studies of liability insurance companies. She listed margins of profitability and the rate of return as two areas of concern. The attorney general’s package also includes tougher regulations for “credit repair” companies and EPAtrained firms for home radon testing.

Where People Connect Treat yourself to healthy heart for Valentine's Day By MARION FACCHINA, RN Public Health Nurse It’s 3 o’clock in the morning, when John Doe suddenly awakens with a peristant pain in his chest that radiates to his arm. His mouth is dry and he has a choking feeling. He feels clammy and slightly nauseated. He thinks heart attacks happen to other people. This couldn’t be happening to him, or could it? Perhaps nothing is more frightening than experiencing the pain of angina. Nothing is more devastating that the limitations placed on someone after a massive heart attack or stroke. Heart disease is the number on cause of death in Rappahannock County, as well as the United States. There are certain contributing factors that unfortunately we can’t do anything about; such as on our genetic background. However; there are many more risk factors that can be reduced but often aren’t. These include: cigarette smoking; obesity, inactivity, high fat, and high sodium diets, and the way we handle stress. High blood pressure and high serum cholesterol are also risk factors. The latter two can be different, because frequently they present no outward signs or symptoms. February is “Heart Month.” On Tuesday, Feb. 14, the Rappahannock County Health Department is sponsoring a “Be Good To Your Heart” Fair. The events will be held at the Trinity Episcopal Parish Hall from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sandra Richardson, from the Rappahannock County Extension office, will present information on the Culinary Hearts Kitchen Course and stress reduction. Christine Kennedy RN from The Plains Pharmacy will offer information on caridac medications and on home medical equipment. Lynn Jones, The health department’s nutritionist, will nresent in formation on a healthy diet and weight control. Blood pressures, random glucose readings, and information on reducing risk factors be offered for free. We will be offering blood cholesterol screening for a $5.50 charge. We only take a drop of blood from the end of your finger and results and available within five minutes. It’s easy to follow the philosophy, “What you don't know can’t hurt you.” Unfortunately that is not true. Nothing will make you more of a believer than to experience a heart attack or stroke. Valentines Day is called the “day of love,” and what better gift can you give your loved ones than to take care of yourself. Be good to your heart! For more information please contact the Rappahannock County Health Department at 675-3516 or 675-3055. Gilliam to seek Va. House seat Ronnie S. Gilliam will be at the Rappahannock County Courthouse at 3 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 28, to announce his candidacy for the 31st District House seat in the Virginia General Assembly. The current delegate, Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr., is running for the Republican nomination for governor of Virginia and has announced that he will not seek re-election to the 31st District seat in this year’s election. Mr. Gilliam, a Front Royal businessman, will be competing for the Republican nomination with Front Royal Town Councilman Robert J. Traister, who announced his desire to seek Mr. Guest’s seat last month. The Rappahannock County Republican Committee invites the county’s residents to come to the courthouse and meet Mr. Gilliam. Logan for the birds When snowy owls fly south for the winter, they head for places that remind them of the empty open tundra back home. In the Continental United States, those places are few and far between, but apparently a big-city airport fills the bill just fine. More snowy owls congregate at Boston's Logan Airport than any other spot in Massachusetts. According to International Wildlife magazine, more than 100 of the birds have been identified and tagged since the early 1980s. The fields surrounding the airport runways offer the owls an ample diet of rodents and small birds, and the owls help the airport in return by keeping flocks of birds off the runways — a danger to planes landing and taking off.

Sat. Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1989 Editorial A righteous attitude Sometimes, we despair of Rappahannock County going the way of our neighbor counties to the east; getting wrapped up in the process of government and forgetting that government is made up of people, with feelings and who (mostly) have a sens! of humor. But just about that time, something happens which reminds us that Rappahannock County still has a certain spirit of community. Several weeks ago, it was Bill Frizzell, the new owner of the Hampton Inn telling the Board of Supervisors that he is willing to continue to provide food for the jail’s inmates while the county builds a kitchen at the jail. Although he really doesn’t want to do it, Mr. Frizzell said, he’s willing to help the county out of a tight spot. That’s just one example of members of our community worKing with government to solve problems. Then, at Tuesday’s Planning Commission meeting, Chairman William Wickens read a letter he’d received from County Administrator John McCarthy. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Mr. McCarthy described the problems resulting from the courthouse door being locked incorrectly. Mr. Wickens then confessed that, in fact, he was the culprit. But where else would we be treated to such a letter? Not a dry; bureaucratic scolding, but a witty note whichTflWtafcare 1 of a problem while leaving everyone present with a smile op their faces. That’s another example of how government can solve problems while retaining a touch of humanity — and its sense of humor. RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY OFFICE OF ZONING ADMINISTRATOR P O BOX 222 WASHINGTON.

In sum, with that lock engaged, we must enter the Courthouse through another entrance, l.e. the Commissioner of Accounts Office In the rear (Preliminary efforts at changing the lock have been met by much handwringing and head-shaking on the part of the locksmith community, accompanied by comments to the effect of, "They don't make 'em like that any more," and "Oh, you've got one of those!") As you may Imagine, this Is somewhat inconvenient, so I would be pleased If you could Inform the Commission of the lamentable state of our front door lock If, when you leave the building In the future, a member of the Commission would so Inform the Sheriff's Office, It will be secured for the evening Thankyou.

Letters to the editor A new-found appreciation for volunteers To the editor: While at home last Tuesday evening (Jan. 17) I received a call from neighbor. He asked me to come Over because he said he was feeling Hfck. When I got there, I found him having great difficulty breathing. I called the Sheriffs Department and asked the dispatcher to send a rescue squad, and told her I thought my neighbor was having a heart attack. While waiting for the squad to arrive, my friend’s breathing became more and more labored. He began to turn blue. Just as I heard the siren from the approaching rescue squad, my friend’s body went slack and he stopped breathing. He had no pulse and began turning a deeper shade of blue. The fear and helplessness I felt at that moment is indescribable. I didn’t know what todo, and because of my lack of knowledge, I felt that if he died, a large measure of the fault would be mine. Finally, however, I managed to get him breathing a bit using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. By that time the Sperryville Rescue Squad had arrived and two members came running up the stairs. They quickly, confidently and correctly began cardio-pulmonary resuscitation on my friend. Several minutes later two more Sperryville EMTs arrived, along with the Advanced Life Support unit from Washington VFD, with four members aboard. The two Cardiac Care techs present started an intravenous line and administered cardiac drugs, and my friend responded. By the time he was ready to be taken to the hospital, his heart was beating regularly, he was breathing again and his skin color was returning. I am confident that without the expert care and attention of both the Sperryville and Washington volunteer rescue squads my friend would not be here today. These people take time out of their busy schedules to help others and to save lives without any interest in personal gain for themselves. We all do a certain amount of charity work in our lives, but these people give the greatest gift of all — life. •' From every bad experience comes some knowledge, and } learned two things from this incident. First, I will take a first aid course, particularly CPR, so that if a similar situation should happen again I will be more competentto handle it; and second, I will appreciate and respect those who donate their time and energy to the fire departments and rescue squads of this county. And to those volunteers, thanks again. BILL FLETCHER Sperry ville Literacy volunteers ask help To the editor: The Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers is a community-based educational organization dedicated to helping adults learn to read. Since the illiteracy rate in the state of Virginia is 6.4 percent, but the rate in Rappahannock County is double that — 12.7 percent — our volunteer group is working to reduce this high rate. Besides tutoring illiterate adults, last October we expanded our program to assist adults in obtaining a high school General Equivalency Diploma. At present we are working with six literacy students, two foreign-family students and 19 GED students. Some of our students are incarcerated in the county jail. Since all tutoring is free and our popularity has exhausted our funds, we are in dire need of textbooks and school supplies. Therefore, we are asking for financial support from the community to purchase much-needed materials for our Monday night GED classes, held at the library in Washington. Each GED textbook costs $10, supplemental workbooks are $5.50 each. Any amount, no matter how small, would mean a great deal to us. Please make checks payable to: Rappahannock Literacy Volunteers, and mail to Mrs. Doris Fowler, Treasurer, Route 1, Box 1090, Washington Va. 22747. If you have any questions, please feel free to call any of the following volunteers: Lee Bird, Flint Hill (675-3263); Eve Filipy, Sperryville (987-8134); Frank Fishback, Amissville (937- < 4910); Doris Fowler, Washington (675-3434)- i Margaret Gottlieb, Boston (547-3934); Penny i Grant, Washington (675-3051); Waldron O’Conner, Washington (675-3283); Nick Raymond ; P lint Hill (675-3865); Marion Simpson, Sperryville (987-8609); Margaret Ulf, Amissville (937-. 1 5478); or Libby Whetzel, Washington (675- -t 3419). ; Established in 1985 with the help of the Rappahannock County Public Library and the- * Child Care and Learning Center, the Literacy Volunteers is a private, non-profit organization* ! associated with the Literacy Volunteers of ' America, Inc. • > MARION SIMPSON--: Literacy Volunteers : J Stiff penalties for pushers, baby-sellers By ANDY GUEST Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Virginia legislators roamed the hallways, cornered one another in committee rooms and gathered in elevators this week for the annual General Assembly ritual I call “The Bill Drill.” The business of re-thinking, re-evaluating and re-writing our state laws each year falls to us and we spend our first few days of each session getting our ideas put into bill form. Then we set off in all directions to look for seasoned co-patrons who will use their influence in getting the bills passed. As Republican House leader, it falls to me to see that Republican bills get a fair hearing and equal attention. The Democrats don’t have a lock on common sense and rational thought. Jan. 18 was the deadline for all bill requests to be in, and Jan. 24 was the deadline for filing them all. Somehow it all gets done, but the pace is hectic and not for the faint-hearted or indecisive. My legislative menu this year includes: • making it a capital offense for any person 18 years of age or older to sell heroin, cocaine, PCP, LSD or any other dangerous drug to a minor. The punishment for this crime should be the death penalty, and I ask it be put into law. The illegal drug problems in Virginia, as indeed everywhere in the United States, continue to destroy the young minds and bodies of our chil dren and fill our prisons and jails with criminal offenders who might otherwise have been productive members of society were it not for the poison that drug dealers are making available to these youngsters. Drug-dealing criminals can no longer be allowed to misuse our court system and our laws to hide from their responsibilities for turning children into junkies, or using our prison system as a new market for their illegal enterprise. The death penalty is used to punish our most heinous, violent murderers, and in my opinion, dangerous illegal drugs cause just as much death and destruction as does any bullet or knife. • another of my bills will make it a Class 5 felony for any person or child-placing agency convicted of deliberately setting out to buy or sell a baby. If making a profit by selling an innocent baby, or if the child placement agencies buy infants from birth mothers as part of the cost of doing business, somebody should go to jail. Babies are not for sale, period. This bill of course distinguishes the buying and selling of babies as a business enterprise from the reasonable and customary expenses incurred by an agency or attorney for placement fees for services, payment of medical fees for birth mothers who plan to put the infants up for legal adoption, or other such legitimate fees that go along with a couple’s desire to adopt a child, or a moth er’s honest desire to see her child properly tafcep care of. ' i A recent instance in my own home county gives a reason for this type of bill. An individual was discovered attempting to sell her child in a shopping mall. The Social Services Department was notified as was the Commonwealth Attoriney’s office. Neither could find a statute undejwhich that person could be brought to justice. In conferring with the Attorney General’s oi fice, they too said that there was no law in the Commonwealth of Virginia against the sale of a child. This bill sets out to correct that. A third bill will provide technical assistance to local jails housing state felons that want to im}prove or establish vocational adult and special ed‘ucation programs. These prisoners have fallen through the packs because they have not yet been integrated into the state prison system s4 they don t qualify for many of the rehabilitative training programs offered by the state correct tions department. ------- !

Op-Ed Poetry: Why bother? By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Most of us, if questioned, will ofess that we don’t like poetry, hat, we ask, does poetry have to that we want or need to know? hy say something with a poem ther than just saying it in prose? hy make things hard, stretching at ideas and facts? - In short, why bother? Would you be surprised to hear neone say, “Figuring out what a et means to say, and what he is Ipnking when he writes, I’m afraid tedious and beyond me. It’s a ste of time.” The poet Marianne Moore exessed that predicament succinctly, Jnd poetically, in her “Poetry:” r? /, too, dislike it. ' Reading it, however, with a peret contempt for it one discovers in it, after all, a place for the genu■'t; With this sentiment in mind, the Rappahannock County Library will begin its poetry-video series, “Voices and Visions,” on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School audito rium. . ^ The five discussions of the series frill feature films that show the po— pictures of them, their homes, their families and friends and other aspects of their lives and work. Other poets will read and discuss poems by the contemporary poets featured in the series, and participants will talk about the poems with Peter Klappert, a poet and professor at George Mason University who will lead the discussion series. The five poets included in the se^sies, Langston Hughes, William Carlos Williams, T.S. Eliot, Elizabeth Bishop and Sylvia Plath, led very different lives but yet are united by their works of poetry. Books and other materials about these and other poets have been donated to the library by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association, which are sponsoring the series. ,'i A total of 13 films were made for -,the “Voices and Visions” series, which was originally broadcast on PBS. All of the films have been do♦ nated to the library, one of 25 in the country which received an NEH 'grant. i V . I have seen one of the films (not one in the library series) and it per,, suaded me that a poet whose writing Lthought I would never understand ig someone who I’m now interested in. ; A poem is a translation, in a way, of a person’s inner life, a sharing of ^.What has seemed important to the writer at a particular time and under ) particular circumstances. For example, when Walt Whitman begins his famous poem about the death of Abraham Lincoln and its meaning | for him, with the beautiful line, ! When liiacs last in the door yard ! bloomed . . . ■ you know that, for some reason, when Whitman heard the terrible news of the President’s assassinai tion, for some reason he mingled his ! feelings of grief with the beauty and : allure of fragrant white, lavender or i purple lilacs. Whitman goes on to : say that each spring, with the ! blooming of the lilacs, he will re; member Lincoln and his love for the ; President. c. Real Estate g Eileen M. Day REALTOR NO MONEY DOWN? If you’re thinking about becoming a real estate investor, don’t expect to buy a good rental property with the much publicized "no money down” techniques.

The poet is especially struck by these relationships, and able to express them in verse: My love is like a red, red rose or How like a winter hath my absence been From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! A poem is a sort of diary entry, a means by which feelings, thoughts and facts can be preserved and communicated, expressed with an intensity that preserves our initial response. Some prose is close to po etry, and some poetry close to prose. The difference may be in the mind and imagination of the reader or listener. But usually that is not so, because a poem is a carefully considered group of words, chosen and arranged to make each one more important than it would otherwise be. One of my chief delights is to read translations of Chinese poems written more than a thousand years ago. Here are two translations of a poem by Wang Wei, called On Passing the Monastery of Accumulated Fragrance. Ignorant of the way to the Monastery of Accumulated Fragrance / wandered many miles through cloud-caught peaks And ancient forests, spying no trace of human footsteps.

A gurgling stream chokes on treacherous rocks; The dying sun flicks coldly through the blue pines. By a quiet pool designed for meditation / subdue the Poisonous Dragon, passion. At the hand of another translator, the same Chinese verse becomes: I didn't know Hsiangchi Temple And went miles into cloudy peaks Between ancient trees, no tracks of man — Where was that bell, deep in the hills? Sound of a stream choking on sharp rocks Sun cool coloured among green pines — At dusk beside a deserted pool, a monk meditating to subdue the poisonous dragon. This poem amuses me because I can imagine the author, Wang Wei, deciding one morning that he will look for a monastery he has heard exists deep in the mountains in the vicinity of his home. Though the mountains are vast and deserted, Wang Wei wanders where someone has told him to look. Finally, after walking all day, he hears a temple bell and feels encouraged. Finding the place, he discovers a pond and sits to meditate: In the midst of such tranquility and beauty, why should he be so ambitious for fame and fortune? Why not become a monk? Wang Wei was a civil servant, a painter as well as a poet, who lived from 701-761 A.D., at a critical time in Chinese history. Not surprisingly, none of his paintings have survived. Wang Wei is one of a number of remarkable poets of his time, some of whom were friends and acquaintances. In writing his poem, like so many poets before and after him, Wang Wei has achieved fame far beyond any that he might have won as an important official at the Emperor’s court. I mention all this because, historically, poetry is as enduring as any other art form, and often more so. But it is difficult to produce. A great poem takes tHh! skill, imagination, patience and training that a great sculpture requires. Verse and poetry aren’t the same. They may be superficially similar, but a good poem is unique and can be as simple as a pie, or it can be complicated and many-layered like a petit-four. It is a form of art that, fortunately, we can all own. r Out of the attic THIS HOME ON MAIN STREET, once owned by E.B. Cary, i Janie Pullen. v now the home of Mrs. Tax 'rebate' gets little support By SEN. KEVIN G. MILLER Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Gov. Gerald L. Baliles is finding little support for his proposal for a tax credit for low-income residents. The measure is designed to return some of the annual income tax “windfall” realized by the Commonwealth as a result of its failure to make adjustments to the state income tax laws following the federal Tax Reform Act of 1986. The governor’s attempt to relate this credit to tax relief for the needy in the form of a rebate for sales tax paid on food and 'non-prescription drugs is fanciful at best. The poor and elderly will continue to pay the sales tax and get no credit unless they are fortunate enough to have enough income to file a state income tax return. I hope that there will be a sufficient number of Democrats with the courage to support Republican legislation to enact a reduction in the state’s income tax rates. It appears that the proposal for Virginia localities to have the option to elect local school boards by popular vote has been shot down again for the year. The Senate Privileges and Elections Committee voted 11-4 to kill Sen. Charles J. Colgan’s (D29th) bill to allow the election option by referendum. However, those who follow the legislative process know that nothing is for sure until adjournment at the end of the veto session. Although I am fully aware of valid arguments on both sides of the issue, 1 want my constituents to know that I was one of the four voting in favor of the local option measure. I have been in favor of the local option to elect school boards, without taxing powers, for many years. It was a great personal honor to me last week to be elected by my fellow Republican members of the state senate as their Minority Whip to replace Sen. Wiley F. Mitchell Jr. (R-30th) upon his retirement. Indications are that the 1989 General Assembly session will have a record number of bills and resolutions to consider. It will be several days after the Tuesday, Jan. 24 cutoff date for submission before all the measures can be processed due to the large number wrhich were introA V M , duced on the last two days. The various committees have spent most of their time during the session’s first two weeks considering legislation which was carried over from the 1988 session. Kevin G.

An exotic spice called saffron BY SANDRA R. RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics The Spaniards proudly refer to a vast tract of land south and east of Madrid as La Mancha. Dotted with occasional hills, this dry, rolling terrain is topped with crumbling castles and ancient windmills. Looking a bit closer to the ground, one may discover this fertile ground provides still another setting that chefs and connoisseurs of international cuisine would certainly appreciate. Here grows that most expensive and delicate of spices — saffron. Valencian paella, Spain’s best-loved dish, and the many exotic sauces, stews, soups and breads of Mediterranean design would lack traditional character without the subtle flavor and golden coloring of this costly spice. What makes this spice so costly? The entire process must be done by hand. Saffron is a small, autumn crocus with purple flowers with three deep orange-yellowT stigmas in the center of each blossom. These stigmas are so tiny each must be picked by hand. It takes at least 4,000 of them to produce one ounce of saffron. Five pounds of fresh saffron are needed to make one pound of dry or cured saffron. In the United States saffron is not grown commercially because the costs of harvesting outweigh the possibility of competitive pricing. Despite the cost of this spice, saffron has hardly diminished for some thousands of years. King Solomon treasured its perfumed beauty in his garden. Ancient Greeks, Romans, Hebrews and Egyptians dissolved saffron powder in water to make a sweet-scented spray for their theaters and temples. For years, royalty used saffron's golden coloring as a dye for fine fabric. Sixteenth-century England made luxurious use of it for food flavoring. Today saffron is mainly used for the subtle flavoring and lovely color that it imparts to foods. Fortunately for us, because of the cost, a little goes a long way. When cooking recipes calling for saffron, follow directions carefully. It’s better to use too little than too much. The greatest quantity and finest quality of saffron is produced in Spain; it is also cultivated throughout the Mediterranean. Paella is probably one of the best known Spanish dishes and many variations are found throughout Spain. To the Spanish, an important consideration is the cooking utensil. The "paellera” is a shallow, double-handled iron pan used especially for this dish. Though any skillet may be used, iron is preferred due to its heating characteristics over a low flame. Two other important considerations are the rice and olive oil. A long grain, slow-cooking regular rice should be used as it remains well separated and dry when cooked. Olive oil is a must for conditioning the ingredients. Remember! Use saffron w:ith discretion. A few strands go a long way.

PTA wilj offer talk on responsibility and kids Teaching responsibility to children will be the theme of a PTAsponsored presentation on parenting Tuesday, Feb. 7, as part of the PTA’s regular meeting at RCES beginning at 7:30 p.m. Scheduled to speak is Monica Nixon of Front Royal. Ms. Nixon is a certified Montessori teacher with a degree in art education. During six years of teaching 2-1/2- to 6-yearolds in a Montessori school in Atlanta, Ms. Nixon began working in parent education. “I sawr a need for both parents and teachers to develop a more thorough understanding of children and to serve as each other’s support group,” she said. ; Since moving to Virginia, she has taught several courses in adult-child communications. ' Ways to help the very young child to incorporate a responsible attitude from the beginning and wrays to help school-age children develop a Sense of responsibility will be covered in Ms, Nixon’s talk. ~~_l “Often, parents are either too lenient or too strict, and neither approach helps the child become a tesponsible person,” Ms. Nixon said. “But we do not have to choose between permissiveness and authorita MONICA NIXON and REBECCA tive parenting style.” Ms. Nixon will draw upon the ideas of Rudolf Dreikurs’ Children: The Challenge to demonstrate a third style of parenting, which fosters growth and inner strength. Ms. Nixon and her husband, Jon have a 2-year-old daughter, Rebecca. Dennis named to Dean's List James R.

Inclement weather will cause the cancellation Wakefield gets grant Wakefield School’s acting headmistress, Pamela Lynn, has announced that the independent elementary and preparatory school in Huntly has received a $60,000 challenge grant from an anonymous donor. Mrs. Lynn said that the unnamed friend of the school Vill match dollar for dollar the amount raised for Wakefield’s 1988-89 Annual Fund Appeal over the amount raised for last year’s appeal ($47,000). Dr. Douglas V. Clarke of Warrenton, a Wakefield parent and chairman of the school’s fund-raising committee, reported that more than $65,000 has been raised to date for this year's fund appeal. The appeal continues through April 30. “We are all very pleased that this individual has chosen to show belief in, and support of, Wakefield School with this generous gift,” said Mrs. Lynn. “So many people tell me that they have moved into this area because of the quality education Wakefield offers. “It is very important that Wakefield continue to exist, to draw new professional and business people to the region as well as home-grow more of our own. We will only do that if we have the financial support of people in the community who want to see maintained the educational program Bill Lynn began here in 1972. “That’s why I established the William E. Lynn Jr. Scholarship Fund in September 1988 as a memorial to Bill, the school’s founder and first headmaster. Since the majority of Wakefield’s students are from middle-class families, some struggling to pay even our comparatively low tuition fees, we have to award many tuition reductions annually; almost $88,000 in such tuition reductions was given last year. The proceeds from the scholarship appeal will help fund this considerable financial aid program.” For more information about Wakefield’s fund drive, scholarships or other activates, call the school office (703)635-8111.

The Panthers did not play like the number one team in the Bull Run District this past week. Yet they still remain on top with Central after edging Clarke County 61-58 on Friday and the Miller School Red Devils 67-53 on Tuesday. The Clarke game had 10 lead changes before the visiting Panthers were able to grab the victory. The Eagles outhustled Rappahannock from the start and lead 13-5 after four minutes. They retained the upper hand and were up 19-13 at the end of the first period. Down 21-13 after two minutes in the second quarter, the Panthers were sparked by a Doug Smith jumper and outscored Clarke 10-1 during the next two minutes. Anthony Porter grabbed three offensive rebounds and accounted for six points during the spurt, including the bucket that put the Panthers up 23-21 for the first time since the opening moments. The lead flip-flopped the rest of the half but RCHS had the final flip and led 31-27 going into intermission. Still, the Panthers were a cold 36 percent from the field, connecting on just 11 of 30 shots. Starting the second half the Panthers’ two big men. Porter and Smith, each had three fouls. This gave the Eagles extra room under the basket for Cary Bartlett, who snatched the lead back 35-34. The rest of the third period was a physical battle, with both teams takIing multiple trips to the foul line. At the end of the quarter Julian Groves sank two charity shots to give the Panthers a 45-44 lead they never relinquished. But they couldn’t shake the pesky hagles. The Panthers’ biggest advantage of six points came off a Danny Ellis bucket with four minutes to go, 5448. Then back came the Eagles. Bartlett hit a three-pointer to make the score 54-51, and after Porter and Groves fouled out, the scene was ripe for an upset. But the Eagles couldn’t hit charity shots down the stretch. With 15 seconds left on the clock Clarke trailed 56-58 and was at the line. The \ Eagles missed on the front end of the one-and one, and Smith rebounded. RCHS hung on to win 6158. “Every team in this district is capable of beating anyone on a given night,” Coach Leake said, complimenting the scrappy Eagles in their effort. “The Bull Run is the toughest single ’A’ district in the state. We have three teams in the top 20: Central(6), us (^), and Strasburg (12).” Rappahannock had 58 rebounds and 14 steals in the game but also committed 23 fouls. Against the non-district Miller School Red Devils at home on Tuesday, RCHS had an easiefc time. Following a tip-in by Danny Ellis the Panthers got a (L4 lead and never Rappahanru>ck News photo/Cindy Mahan THE JUNIOR PANTHERS' Ken Baldwin (35) goes up for a shot against Clarke County. The JV lost. 44-31. but has a winning 5-4 record on the season. gave it up. The Panthers led 17-8 after a three-pointer by Eric Dunn but then went stagnant for well over four minutes, allowing the Devils to cut it to 17-16. Another Dunn bomb got Rappahannock’s boys back on track and they were on top 32-23 at the half. In the second half Rappahannock had trouble passing the ball but the Red Devils couldn’t capitalize. The closest they came was 44-41 in the final period. Dunn widened the gap, again going the length of the floor and RCHS cruised to a 67-53 win. The Panthers grabbed 56 caroms and shot 13 of 17 from the foul line, their best showing of the year at the charity stripe. Dunn and Groves shared game-high honors with 17 points, followed by Porter with 12. Groves also had an impressive 11 offensive rebounds from the pointguard spot. “Anthony and Julian played outstandingly,” said Leake. “It’s nice to see them step forward and be leaders on the court.” For the second half of the season Leake says the Panthers must (1) balance out offensively, (2) find consistency, (3) continue to rebound, (4) increase free throw percentage, and (5) decrease numbers of turnovers per game. “So you see, we may be 81 but we have a lot to work on," Leake added. He defended his team’s high number of turnovers, saying a running team will give the ball up now and then. “My philosophy on turnovers is to force more than you commit, and if we do that. I’m happy.” The jayvees were dropped by Clarke, 44-31, on Friday, but they vented their frustrations before the home crowd on Tuesday, crushing the Junior Red Devils from Miller Academy, 52-30. Eleven players scored against the Devils, led by Paul Hitt with 15 and Kevin Daymude with nine. The Junior Panthers are 5-4 on the year and 4-3 in district play. "We're still working on becoming a team,” noted Coach Dee Van Horn. The Panthers' next game is at home against the Manassas Park Cougars on Friday, Jan. 27. B&B Continued from page 1 going to control other commercial uses that want to be there, too?” The zoning administrator maintained that the bed-and-breakfast inns which now regularly serve evening meals could qualify easily as lodges under the same standards as the Ibarque Lodge (which is being developed at the former Bluerock Farm opposite the high school on Route 211). Then those businesses should apply for that same type of special use permit, Dr. Krebser maintained. Bed-and-breakfast inns, grouped with tourist homes and boarding houses and listed as commercial, retail, and business uses, are allowed by special use permit in agricultural and conservation districts. The Rappahannock County Zoning Ordinance defines this composite use as buildings which contain sleeping accommodations for not more than 12 persons who are not members of the family operating the establishment, where a charge is levied for occupancy. They are defined separately from tourist and boarding homes, which are not considered by the ordinance as being primarily for overnight accommodation. Lodges are listed under “recreation and amusement uses” and grouped with camps, recreational grounds, retreats and resorts. If less than five acres is involved, the use is by special use permit granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals; five acres or more takes a special exception from the Board of Supervisors. The ordinance doesn’t define lodge. But it defines camp or recreation ground as an area usually operated as a commercial enterprise, usually operated seasonally, which provides spaces for transient occupancy or use by tourists in camping trailers, self-propelled campers, tents or motor lodges. Neither the definition of bedand-breakfast nor the definition under which lodge falls speaks to food service. Jimmy Swindler, the BZA’s representative to the Planning Commission, echoed Dr. Krebser’s concern over health and safety standards, asking if the county would be liable should someone become ill after eating at a bed-and-breakfast inn. Maintaining that many of those granted use permits for B & Bs are newcomers interested only in building up a business and then selling it for a profit, Mr. Swindler suggested that permits for such establishments be granted to individuals and not for the property itself. Attorneys advising local officials over the years have taken the opposite position, holding that permits should be issued to property since it is the land — and not the landowner —which must be judged suitable or unsuitable for a particular use. Addressing the safety issue, Mr. McCarthy reported that water supplies and kitchens of bed-and-break last inns must be checked and approved by the local Health Department as a condition for operation, “But I don’t think they’re subject to quarterly inspections (as are restaurants),” he said. For confirmation, the planners turned to Phil Irwin, proprietor of Caledonia Farm bed-and-breakfast inn near Flint Hill and a regular attendee at the commission’s meetings. These inns in private homes, a tradition in Europe, “differ from any other kind of accommodations because of one thing: hospitality,” Mr. Irwin said, defining hospitality as “whatever a guest wishes — a sandwich or an evening meal . . . whatever the traveling public asks for.” The idea of serving an evening meal is something that has never been restricted elsewhere by zoning regulations “as far as I know,” the former president of the Rappahan nock League for Environmental Protection told the planners. The Health Department, however, does limit B & Bs in its permitting procedure, restricting to 12 the number of meals which can be served at any one time from what it terms a "home kitchen," Mr. Irwin explained. In addition, Mr. Irwin said, the water supply for a bed-and-breakfast inn is tested by the Health Department every three months. “Before you can use spring water, it must be subjected to ultra-violet treatment,” he assured Mr. Swindler. "The water supply is critical.” Dr. Krebser pointed out that Mr. Irwin described hospitality as the services requested by and provided to overnight guests. "The public health service doesn’t require an overnight stay in order to use a home kitchen,” Mr. Irwin answered. From a land use impact, “whether dinner is served to people who are staying there or to people who are eating dinner and then going home is immaterial,” said Su pervisor Mike Massie. “I m not worried about it. Besides, I like eating out at some of these B & Bs,” he acknowledged, grinning... In addition, the public hearings for issuance of special use permits are advertised and all the neighbors are notified, so if they’re concerned, it can come out in the public hearing process, Mr. Massie said. Likewise, any questions about expansion into a quasi-restaurant can be addressed in that same process, said Commissioner David Fannon. > Dr. Krebser’s suggestion for a tax on B & Bs didn’t garner support either. “Personally, I’m opposed to singling out one business (for taxing purposes),” Mr. Massie said. "“It’s not a way to get much money,” Mr. McCarthy advised. “The costs of administering it would probably outstrip any revenue.”

Needs Continued from page 1 “The potential growth presents a more realistic problem . . . but we can take into consideration the obsolescence factor,” the superintendent replied. “If we’re talking about a capital improvements plan, that should be factored in,” Dr. Krebser proposed. Commissioner Bob Anderson asked for the status of legislation which would require public schools to offer preschool programs for children 4 years old, and what that new mandate would mean for Rappahannock. “That’s not going to pass this year,” Dr. Gangel answered, explaining that the General Assembly is being dissuaded by the fiscal impact on local governments. “Every school division in Virginia would face capital problems. It would put us all in a tail spin.” But such legislation “is possible down the road” and any requirement to provide programs for 4-year-olds would create an immediate need for at least three new classrooms at the elementary school, he added. Looking over Dr. Gangel’s figures on the maximum capacity of Rappahannock’s schools, County Administrator John McCarthy put the need for planning in simple terms: “If we get one 100-lot subdivision, we build a school. That’s it. There’s no margin for error.” Dr. Krebser proposed that acquisition of a school site be considered now before land values climb any higher. “Let’s get the land and set it aside.” The Board of Supervisors’ representative to the Planning Commission agreed, saying he believed a growth rate of IV2 to two percent could come from the transfer of students from private to public schools alone, without any new houses being built. And Dr. Gangel’s projections on “trigger” enrollment are especially important here because with the elderly comprising a growing percentage of the county’s population, a Literary Loan seems the only way to finance a school construction project, noted Mr. McCarthy. Rappahannock’s current growth rate is three percent, but the increase in school-aged population is just 1.5 percent, he reported. The other half of the population increase is predominantly retired people who aren’t likely to approve a school construction bond that means higher taxes, Mr. McCarthy said. Accordingly, planning for school expansion must come well before need, he advised. “There’s a two-year waiting list now for Literary Loans, and I don’t think the line’s going to get any shorter.” Property bought for a school site will increase in value and could be later sold by the county if growth doesn’t come and additional classroom space isn’t needed, Commissioner John Clark pointed out. In purchasing land now, “we can’t go wrong,” he added, getting nods of approval from his fellow commissioners. County office complex must be expanded Mr. McCarthy reported that Rappahannock’s judges say a second courtroom or hearing room will be necessary within the next five years.

Jesus never said that joining a church would make you a Christian. He never said that being baptized would make you a Christian. He said in Mark 16:16, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.” Even doing good works does not make you a Christian. Ephesians 2:8 & 9 says, “For by grace are you saved, through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of WORKS, lest any man should boast. None of thes things will make you a Christian. What does, God require for us to become a Christian, a child of His? John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them surrender our life to him. Romans 10:9 & 10 says, “That if thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. So we see from these verses what it means to be a Christian. I pray that if you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Saviour, you will consider these things I’ve shared with you. This is the most important decision you will ever make because it determines your eternal destiny. After you read this article, you can pray and ask Jesus Christ into your heart and He will come in. He will give you his life and his love and peace, and cleanse you from your sins. If you desire help, call me at 987-8014, or come to one of our services at Family Worship Center on Mt.

Now duriiig trials, “we have a frequent and unhealthy mixing of jurors, witnesses for the accused and witnesses for the prosecution. There’s no separation we can provide in this building (the courthouse),” the county administrator said. In addition, he noted that the county is fortunate to have a Commonwealth’s Attorney who already has an office in the town of Washington convenient to the courthouse. “He doesn’t need an office in here. If he did, we’d be in deep trouble right now. There’s no vacant room downstairs,” Mr. McCarthy said, adding that the empty room where the drink machine now sits will be used for the elevator which is to provide access for handicapped people. “It’s plain we have real space needs. They are best met as close to the courthouse as we can get .... Maybe we can use the library (which will be vacated upon completion of a newr county library just beyond the town limits). Maybe some place closer,” the county administrator said, adding that he will submit a draft of the comprehensive plan’s future needs chapter at next month's commission meeting. Bigger kitchen addition? The jail expansion currently in the planning stages is to include offices for the sheriff, who is using rooms in the Commissioner of the Revenue’s building at present. This addition is centered on the kitchen needed to provide jail food service, and as a corrections facility, it is eli gible for 50 percent reimbursement from the state for construction costs. “We should provide for as much as we can now,” maintained Commissioner Clark, finding support from Supervisor Massie for the possibility of enlarging the addition to include space for the magistrate’s office and the breathalizer room where the State Police's equipment for measuring alcohol consumption must be stored safe from tampering. (Currently, both the magistrate’s office and the breathalizer room are in the courthouse.) Mr. McCarthy also noted that the Social Services Department has plans for enlarging its staff by twro positions and will need additional office space when that happens. Extension Service wants space for third agent and new meeting room Extension agents Tommy Williams and Sandra Richardson told the planning commissioners that they will be asking the county to consider adding a third agent to run 4-H programs. Rappahannock’s 4-H clubs have increased from two to eight in the last three years and twTo more clubs are now being organized, Mrs. Richardson said. The clubs alone present “a real challenge for us to supervise,” she said, adding that most counties have separate agents for agriculture, extension homemakers and 4-H. Having a third position here “would eliminate a lot of our pressure and help our programs to grow," Mrs. Richardson said. “A 4-H agent isn’t something new for Rappahannock,” said Mr. Williams. “We had three agents here when I was in high school.” The ag agent added that he has increasingly less time to devote to 4-H. “There’s a big push with migrant labor and pesticides, and I have to spend a lot of time educating our people on what’s allowed and what’s not allowed. For pesticides, that changes monthly; for immigration, it changes daily!” Extension offices with just 440 square feet are already inadequate, the agents reported. In addition, a meeting room with seating for at least 20 people is necessary to get the VPf-funded satellite receiving equipment now available* they told the planners. More and more programs are being offered through that medium, they said, and while facilities at the nearby 4-H Education Center can be used, the priority there is 4-H, not agriculture. Asked whether the extension office could share the school’s facilities, Mrs. Richardson noted that many of the programs of interest in Rappahannock are beamed out during the school day when the satellite receiver and classroom are used by students. And even after school hours, sharing space presents problems, she said, adding that either a teacher must be there with an extension group or a custodian must be paid to stay. Besides, the receiving equipment comes free to Rappahannock onlu if the extension office has control and first priority on space to seat at least 25 people, the agents confirmed. “Don’t we wish we had the old school back,” concluded Dr. Krebser, voicing the now-familiar lament over the county’s decision years back to sell the old Washington School. Tutors Continued from page 1 members of the community, bringing their skills and knowledge to the county’s schools. She would like to expand the list of available volunteers to the point where every student in need of help — there are presently between 17 and 20 — have someone to work with them one-onone. That format, Mrs. Heddleston said, has been proven the most effective in helping students. For another former student, now a volunteer tutor, the lessons have become, “a creative outlet for me, to plan activities and games with students so that they learn while they enjoy it." Working one-on-one or in small groups, particularly with creative learning activities, Mrs. Heddleston said, is the key to helping students for whom the traditional school environment often proves frustrating. “It makes a difference when the students are given personal attention. When the tutors can talk with the students, get to know them as people and give them encouragement, they respond.” And the county’s classroom teachers have noticed the work the volunteers are doing, Mrs. Heddleston said, and they’d like to see more. “It is working. But the teachers are still requesting tutors as they identify additional needs.” And having more volunteers, she added, will mean that the program can use the particular strengths and knowledge of the various tutors in placing them with students. For example, Mrs. Heddleston said, one retiree who tutors “regularly throws a little history into his remedial reading class.” Although members of the community — including Mrs. Heddleston’s mother, herself a former teacher —have tried to offer the schools their services as volunteer tutors in the past, there has never been a program to assist them. Mrs. Heddleston explained that the $16,000 state grant which funds the tutor program provides the necessary administrative and supervisory' structure which allows the volunteers to work more effectively with the students. The students are offered a variety of options to participate in in the program. At the elementary school, most students receive tutoring during “seat-work time,” so they don’t miss any of their regular classroom studies. At the high school, students can choose between tutorials arranged during study hall penods or participate in informal, after-school classes, where up to 14 students meet with four tutors to receive instruction in reading and math.

Solar heated bears Polar bears come equipped with thick fur and a generous helping of blubber, but these big bears are also mobile solar collectors. International Wildlife magazine reports that the long hairs of the bear’s pelt are transparent; they allow sunlight to penetrate all the way to the skin. Planners Continued from page 1 it, don’t break it.” Mrs. Thomasson suggested that an advisory group be assembled to assist residents in planning projects which would fall under the guidelines of the ARB. “If people want to consult,” Mr. Wickens said, “that’s fine. But my feeling is that they should consult with the ARB as a body and not ex parte bend the ear of one member or another.” “As a person who has served as an advisor,” Ms. Vandort added, “I can tell you that an advisory board would be a disaster.” Though the four commissioners present seemed to agree that the ARB does not need to be expanded, they also agreed — with Mr. Wickens dissenting — that a public hearing on the board and the Historic District Ordinance might be helpful. “The way to strengthen the board is to clean up its procedures,” Mr. Wickens said. By expanding it, he insisted, “we could have a mess on our hands. We need to establish procedures and guidelines.” “Maybe this would be a good time to let people tell us what they think of the Architectural Review Board and the Historic District Ordinance,” Mrs. Young said. “It could be cleansing,” Mr. Frizzell agreed. The commissioners set a public hearing on the proposal to expand the ARB for its next meeting, Tuesday, Feb. 28, at 8 p.m. at the courthouse. Mr. Wickens also distributed a smoke detector ordinance which he penned after receiving a request from Mayor Morehouse. It covers hotels, rooming houses and apartment buildings, but exempts private one- and two-family dwellings. “Most people who die in fires,” Mr. Wickens explained, “don’t die from burns. They suffocate — they die from smoke inhalation.” The commissioners disagreed on whether the ordinance should require electrically- or battery-operated detectors, and finally agreed to advertise the ordinance with both types included. After receiving comments from the public, Mr. Wickens suggested, one or the other could be deleted. The ordinance requires that each building covered by the ordinance be inspected yearly by the mayor or his representative. Additionally, the building’s owner would be obligated to repair or replace any malfunctioning detector within five days of receiving written notice from a tenant. The ordinance also provides a fine of $100 for each violation of the ordinance. The fine would be levied for each day the building is in violation.

After skimming a copy of a draft subdivision ordinance from Town Attorney Frank Reynolds and Zoning Administrator John McCarthy, Mr. Wickens said he still found provisions which the commission had requested be deleted. “We are the seat of the county,” Mr. Wickens agreed. “The county has tightened its ordinances to the point where you can’t do anything but large-lot subdivisions. The county is encouraging development near its towns, and if our ordinances are less prohibitive than the county’s — then at some point the town will experience an explosion of growth.” The mayor suggested that the proposed ordinance be given to the staff of Planning District 9 for review. “Get some information about other towns, about where they went wrong.” Then, he suggested, try to mesh the ordinance with the county’s ordinances and with the town’s comprehensive plan. “I have heard complaints," he continued, “that the Planning: Com mission has things forced down its throat by the council. I can assure that is not true. We want you to take a good look at this ordinance. If things are not working, let us know.” The subdivision ordinance is important, Mr. Morehouse emphasized, and it needs to be revised, “but it’s too important to do a patchwork job.” Mr. Wickens noted that the subdivision ordinance must buttress the town’s comprehensive plan, and that the town’s goals might not be in harmony with the county’s. “In their view, they would like to dump all their unsightly growth into the towns. We don't want that, and we don’t want their idea to creep in on little cat’s feet through a subdivision ordinance which is in conflict with our comprehensive plan. “I have fled here,” Mr. Wickens continued, “from the subdivision mentality. I suggest that anyone with that subdivision mentality should get off at Manassas and enjoy themselves. We value our open space, we zone for it ... if we then come to cul-de-sac city it would ruin the dreams of a lot of people.” Mr. Morehouse suggested that the planners also consider developing a master plan to guide future development. “If you don’t want culde-sacs, then you’d better plan for the future. You’d better decide what you want. . . because if you forget it and hope that someone will come up with something nice, you will end up being disappointed.” Sperryville Realty SPERRYVILLE EMPORIUM (703)987-8088 Chester Gap - Almost new 3 bedroom home, carpet, woodstove and electric heat, full bath, living room, kitchen with appliances. $79,000.
