Fauquier suit could affect county By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Local officials in Rappahannock County are looking over the border into Fauquier to see the outcome of a suit filed last month in response to that county’s denial of a 400-unit subdivision. In December, Fauquier’s Board of Supervisors rejected the special exception permit sought by Morgan E. Earnest and Marshall Associates for the 500-acre subdivision in the Marshall service district. The three-member majority voting against the Salem project cited specific concerns with adequacy of water supply for the private wells intended to serve the 400 households. The developers produced experts — hydrogeologists from Converse Environmental East — who contended that high-yield wells would produce plenty of water for the subdivision without depleting the area’s ground water reserves. But opponents and the State Water Control Board found the consultants’ studies flawed. The complaint filed by the Northern Virginia law firm of Hazel, Thomas, Fiske, Beckhorn and Hanes contends the Converse study demonstrated “the existence of adequate water to serve the proposed development and [that] the use of such water would not adversely affect the surrounding properties.” In addition, the suit invokes the 1964 Civil Rights Acts with charges that the county’s land use policies are exclusionary and discriminatory. At last month’s Planning Commission meeting, Rappahannock’s County Administrator John McCarthy dismissed the discrimination claim as a now-standard ploy in all land-use cases where counties have large lot zoning. That same charge has been previously leveled at Rappahannock County; here and elsewhere, such accusations have not been upheld with any regularity by the courts, Mr. McCarthy assured the planners. According to Rappahannock’s administrator, it's not the civil rights angle that should catch the interest of officials here, but rather the suit’s claim that by adding a special exception permit to the subdivision approval requirements, Fauquier County is adding a legislative function to what should be an administrative process. Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance, written by Fauquier planning director Richard McNear and modeled after Fauquier’s, has essentially that same requirement. Fauquier’s special exception section is very similar to Rappahannock’s, Mr. McCarthy confirmed in an interview this week, “but there are crucial differences.” On the surface, Rappahannock looks more vulnerable — not less. In Fauquier, a special exception from the See SUIT, p. 16 Draft offered to commission Planners consider stronger stance on need for farming By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan revision, derailed and delayed by personnel changes at the Planning District Commission which was acting as consultant, is now back on track. At their February meeting, Rappahannock’s planning commissioners will review a draft rewritten by County Administrator John McCarthy. And they will consider incorporating much stronger language on resource protection proposed by Commissioner Werner Krebser. Last month, Dr. Krebser handed out copies of a revised goals and objectives section which borrows heavily from nearby Clarke County, considered by many to be Virginia’s leader in resource protection. In asking his fellow commissioners to study the nine pages, he said — and Mr. McCarthy confirmed —that comprehensive plans *are becoming crucial as Virginia courts look more to these documents rather than zoning ordinances in deciding suits between developers and governments over land use. From an overall perspective, the proposed revision makes stewardship the county’s public policy: “Promote the philosophy that land is a finite resource and not a commodity, that all citizens are stewards of the land, and that the use, quality and area of the land are of primary importance to each present and future citizen,” reads the last of 10 principles. The revision also gives more aggresive protection to the county’s threatened agricultural industry. It calls for a “vigorous agricultural development program” that emphasizes exploration and development of markets for Rappahannock’s agricultural products. Land-use proposals to convert farmland to non-farm use would be approved "only if an overriding public need exists to change the land use, [if] the existing development areas cannot accommodate the new use, and extenuating circumstances exist.” In addition, the support of use-value taxation and the formation of agricultural districts would be county policy as would the encouragement and facilitation of open space easement donations on land identified as having important scenic, historic, open-space, conservation, agricultural and wildlife habitat qualities. For forest land, the suggested comprehensive plan revision states as policy, the county ensure that development is compatible with environmental features and “does not diminish natural and scenic values.” To protect other natural resources, the policies would require that environmental impacts of activities directly or indirectly related to new construction — including removal of vegetation, cutting of trees, altering drainageways, grading and filling — are minimized. Land uses that have adverse environmental impacts which cannot be eliminated or minimized would be prohibited. Specifically addressing ground water protection, the plan would have policies w'hich (1) “promote the best management of potential ground water pollution sources, including septic tanks, wellsland underground petroieum storage tanks, and (2) support the conduct of an inventory to identify environmentally-significant lands and the establishment of a county-wide ground water monitoring network. Policies would also “support the establishment of historic districts” and “rural historic districts,” promote the placement of scenic easements on historic buildings and sites and on lands adjoining or in view from roads designated as Scenic Byways. The proposed revisions to the comprehensive plan’s goals and objectives chapter would also: • prohibit the extension of capital improvements into agricultural areas w hen such improvements would lead to increased development pressure. • maintain the existing primary and secondary road system at its present level and upgrade it only for safety purposes or traffic increases planned by the county authorities. See REVISIONS, p. 16 Three more contenders crowd 31st District race By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The contest to succeed Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. got more crowded last week, with two more Republicans and a second Democrat entering the fray. On the Republican side, Front Royal businessmen Ron Gilliam and Malcolm Trevor announced their candidacies for Mr. Guest’s seat in the House of Delegates, which he has held for 18 years. And Democrat Barbara Greco gained a rival for her party’s nomination when Front Royal’s town attorney, David N. Crump Jr., announced his intention to seek the seat. Mr. Gilliam, the owner of a Front Royal lumber company, stumped the district last Saturday and met with a small group of Republican activitists on the steps of the courthouse. He told the group he feels he is the strongest candidate, “a common sense Republican leader who brings mature political judgment to this nomination along with in-depth business and farm experience.” He said he plans to make high taxes, rural development, quality in education and the strengthening of traditional family values the issues in his campaign. Mr. Gilliam promised to run a strong campaign against the Democratic nominee, and stressed the need for the Repub MALCOLM TREVOR licans to hold on to the 31st District seat. He called the present inequity of Republican seats in the House of Delegates, “a terrible situation. We don’t have an equal voice in the General Assembly.” Mr. Gilliam said he would support some additional taxing authority for localities, such as the currently debated impact DAVID CRUMP fees and conditional zoning. If a developer comes to a county, he said, and builds 50 houses which bring in 100 children, that stretches existing services. “The developers have got to bear some of the burden” of providing those additional services. In one of several references to long RON GILLIAM time Virginia Sen. Harry Byrd, Mr. Gilliam noted, “Harry Bryd used to say we pay as we go. Well, these people should pay as they come.” He added that he feels rural areas must grow, but that development must SmRACE, p. 16

' PD 9 grants total $725,510 Culpeper — The RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission (PD 9) had a successful year in 1988 with various grant applications according to Gordon Jones, regional planner. In addition, the Commission staff administered Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grants and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) for two sewer projects of the Rapidan Service Authority (RSA) in Gordonsville and Stanardsville. “It’s unusual for us to receive approval for everything for which we apply or for which we help our local governments apply,” said Mr. Jones. “However, we did in 1988. Grant dollars amount to $725,510 for seven projects in the planning district with budgets totaling $1,082,005.” According to Mr. Jones, the money will go both to fund regionaltype projects and to benefit local projects in Fauquier County and the Town of Culpeper. “We are receivi WANTED HOME CONSULTANTS WILL TRAIN “Success is achieved by those who try.

'.W'; VIRGINIA NEWS From Across The Slate ■ . I A * s _ T Impact fees okayed by cities committee By MARY K. BLEWITT 1 Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — A bill to permit localities ■to impose impact fees on new development is i ; headed for the House floor. After almost four hours of a public hearing and committee discussion late Tuesday, the House Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns reported the legislation, sponsored by J~ Del. C. Richard Cranwell, D-14th District, by a 13-7 margin. Del. Cranwell’s “impact fee” bill would ali • low any county, city or town that experiences a 10 percent population growth over a decade to „ assess and impose impact fees. The bill is directed at high-growth areas such as Northern L' Virginia. - I Aimed at offsetting road costs inflicted by development, the bill would restrict the use of - the collected fees to transportation costs. - According to the bill, assessing the roads for i improvement needs would include analyzing I. the existing capacity and current road uses, then projecting the needs for, and cost of, con. struction of road improvements. •Representatives of the Virginia Municipal League and the Virginia Association of Coun ties spoke out in favor of the bill, viewing it as fair and equitable legislation. “Impact fees are not a cure-all,” said Lawrence Davis of Fredericksburg, representing the VML. “They only require that the developers pay their fair share.” Martha Pennino, president of VaCo and vice chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors told the committee that the costs of expanding roads for development “far exceed the capacity of local government.” The counties of Prince William, Fairfax, Orange, Madison and Culpeper were amongthose localities who were on record in support of the bill. “Where will our children live?” was the slogan adopted by the numerous Virginia home builders associations who adamantly opposed the bill. Criticized for posing a threat to affordable housing, the legislation was also labeled narrow and discriminatory. Del. Kenneth R. Melvin, D-80th District, who voted to defeat the bill, agreed. “Do you think the developers are going to eat the costs?” Del. Melvin asked. “No way. They are going to pass it right on down to the consumer.” “This is a major step in changing this Commonwealth,” said Franklin P. Hall, D-69th Dis VIRGINIA BRIEFS Sparky' faces move The state electric chair is headed to the plahned Greensville County prison. The Senate approved the chair’s move from the state penitentiary with only one opposing vote. Sen. Joseph V. Gartlan Jr.. D-36th District, long an opponent of capital punishment, blocked a unanimous vote. Reflective bill saddled .“I really don’t want to put a device On the hprse — nothing like a taillight or anything like that,” joked Sen. Madison E. Marye, D-37th District, as he presented his bill to the Senate Committee on Transportation. What he’s, really proposing i^,reflective clothing for hprse riders after .‘sundown. Sen. Marye contended that his bill isn serious matter. Several accidents or near-accidents have occurred because car drivers do not see the horses and riders at night, Sen. Marye told the committee. The bill now goes to the full Senate. Bills up, talk down House and Senate committee chairmen are beginning to cut short, long-winded speakers and cajial jibber-jabber. A total of 1,906 bills and res olutions have been filed this session. This is 284 more bills than last year. All bills must be acted upon by Feb. 25. Already there is talk of weekend meetings, and legislators are being reminded by their colleagues to get serious and get the work done. A7V measure advances Only individuals 16 years or older may operate large, all-terrain vehicles under a bill passed by the Senate last week. Children 12 to 16 are restricted by the bill to smaller engines of no more than 90 cubic centimeters. Passed by a 35-3 vote, the bill is an attempt to shrink the number of ATV-related injuries and deaths. ATV riders would also be required to wear hejjngts. .~»»», ‘Bumper smut ’ ban ? Being stuck in traffic is one thing, but having to stare at profane bumper stickers is something Del. John G. (Chip) Dicks, D-66th District, doesn’t think people should have to put up with. Del. Dicks has introduce a “vulgar bumper sticker” measure that would prohibit stickers, decals or emblems containing “lewd or profane words” from being affixed to motor vehicles. The bill, which will appear before the House Courts of trict, who also strongly opposed the bill. Del. Hall expressed concern that the bill would open a crack in the dam, flooding developers with fees. “What is transportation today is going to be schools and police protection tomorrow,” said the delegate from Richmond. “Everybody has to pay a little to make our home more endemic to the quality of life,” said Del. Leslie L. Byrne, D-38th District, backing the bill. The transportation problems have to be addressed, Del. Byrne said, “and this is one small way for developers to pay their share.” The bill’s narrow victory in committee indicates that it can expect more opposition in the house. “The floor is a lot different than this committee,” said Del. Hall, who said he had seen little support for the bill. Del. Cranwell’s other bill before the committee, whm£i would allow these same localities to permit conditional zoning, passed by an identical measure. The delegate from Vinton is also the House sponsor of Gov. Gerald L. Baliles’ one-percent local income tax legislation that would permit localities to levy a local option individual income tax for transportation with the approval of a local referendum. J Justice this week, is expected to face opposition from those who feel the legislation infringes on freedom of speech. Statewide recycling? The “bottle bill” substitute has arrived. Del. Kenneth R. Plum, D-36th District, and Sen. Joseph V. Gartlan, D-36th District, have introduced legislation that attempts to address the need to establish a state-wide recycling industry. The Recycling Act would establish a network of recycling centers. The bill differs from previous “bottle bills” because retailers or distributors would not be required to redeem, store, process or transport empty containers. Tax credit approved The Virginia Senate approved Gov. Gerald L. Baliles’ proposed one-time tax credit return with little opposition. By a 37-2 vote Jan. 30, the Senate agreed to return a $100.1 million windfall caused by federal tax reform to taxpayers through a sliding scale tax credit. Sen. Joseph B. Benedetti, R-lOth District, struggled without success to extend the refund^ two years so that more Virginians might benefit.! Low- to middle-income tax payers would receive the bulk of the windfall with a maximum of $35 for each personal and dependent exemption. For example, a family of four with $34,000 income would receive a credit of $140. Sen. Benedetti argued that the credit should include the $77.5 million expected from fiscal year 1990. Gov. Baliles has proposed placing the additional $77.5 million in a revenue reserve fund to use for unexpected future needs. Having breezed through the Democrat-dominated Senate, the governor’s tax credit bill, sponsored by Hunter B. Andrews, D-lst District, is expected to fare well in the House.

A Democrat, Wilder set forth his priorities for his administration in his “Three for Virginia” plan during his Jan. 26 announcement. Pledging that he would “neither propose nor initiate any new state taxes,” the lieutenant governor said also that he would lead the fight against drugs and work to create new jobs and housing for rural Virginians. “With Virginia’s economy being what it is ... it is not forseeable that new initiatives for taxes would be necessary on my part,” Wilder told reporters in a post-rally news conference. As governor, Wilder said he would continue to push for the removal of the sales tax on food and non-prescription drugs, a concept that Gov. Gerald L. Baliles has yet to endorse. “We have non-tax revenue resources to look to,” said Wilder, making reference to the lottery and pari-mutuel betting. But Mr. Wilder’s stance on sales taxes was characterized as somewhat liquid by GOP House Minority Leader Andy Guest. “Well, he’s flopping around again on the deck of Jerry’s ship of state,” said the Front Royal delegate. “Two weeks ago he told reporters he would not push for the repeal of the sales tax on non-prescription medicines, a potential return of about $12 to every Virginian, which benefits especially the very poor and fixed income elderly,” he said. “Instead, to secure Baliles’ support for his race for governor, Wilder walked away from his tax repeal stand. The Baliles’ tax credit plant would take care of this portion of the citiz^pery,' he said,” Mr. Guest charged, ins weekly “Legislative I Report” from his Richmond office. “But this week he flip-flopped again. Now he says he’ll throw his support behind the Republicans’ tax repeal bills. Who are we to believe and when can we believe them?” asked Mr. Guest, one of four Republicans in the gubernatorial race. Mr. Wilder’s only announced competitor for the Democratic nomination, State Sen. Daniel W. Bird Jr., D-38th District, bowed out of the race just two days earlier. Sen. Bird said that campaigning for governor would “take more dollars than NOW YOUR HOME CAN HELP SAVEYOU MONEY ONYOUR CAR. Having Allstate Home Insurance could save you up to 15% on car insurance!

Allstate Insurance latmpany, Northbrook. II. I could ever raise. ” Giving his “thumbs-up” sign, he threw his weight of support to Mr. Wilder, strengthening the Democratic unity. Following Sen. Bird’s announcement, Mr. Wilder responded, “I understand and respect Sen. Bird’s decision today to withdraw from the gubernatorial race. Fortunately for Virginia, his decision will not end his productive and successful representation of the interests of the 38th Senatorial District, southwest Virginia and the Commonwealth.” Thus far, Mr. Wilder has raised nearly $1 million in campaign funds. Four Republicans will battle for the GOP nomination to oppose Wilder: J. Marshall Coleman, a former Virginia attorney general; Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr., R31st District; U.S. Rep. Stan Parris, R-8th District, and former U.S. Sen. Paul S. Trible Jr. All were considered by Wilder to be formidable rivals. The current lieutentant governor has come a long way over the years. The grandson of slaves, Wilder grew up in Richmond’s Church Hill section. Waiting on tables and doing odd jobs, he worked his way through Virginia Union University. He served in the Army in Korea from 1952 to 1953, earning a Bronze Star for heroism in ground combat. He then went on to graduate from Howard University Law School. In 1969, Mr. Wilder was elected to represent Richmonders in the State Senate, becoming the first black legislator to serve in the Virginia Senate since Reconstruction. A lawyer in the firm of Wilder, Gregory and Martin, Mr. Wilder was elected lieutenant governor in 1985. His position has established him as the highest-ranking, black elected state official in the nation. Although he has made history as a black with each hurdle he has leaped, Mr. Wilder said he hopes the issue of race will play only a small role in the election. “I’m running because 1 feel I’m the best candidate,” said Mr. Wilder, who submitted his leadership and experience as proof of this statement! Concluding his speech, Mr. Wilder joined hands with Gov. Baliles and Attorney General Mary Sue Terry. With linked hands raised, the three sought to portray unity for the Democratic Party as Willy Nelson’s country tune “On the Road Again” mingled with the crowd’s cheers. / PERFORMANCE f GROUP Golden Key • Trapezoid Paul Reisler & Julie Portman at Town Hall Little Washington FEB 9 FERNE BORK AND JAMES DURST in concert.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1989 Editorial Education for life Last week, one of our readers wrote a “Letter to the editor” describing an experience he’d had with a friend who collapsed and nearly died after suffering a sudden heart attack. Luckily, members of the rescue squad arrived in time to begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation, keeping him alive until another unit equipped with Advanced Life Support equipment arrived on the scene. The patient was revived, stabilized, rushed to the hospital, and he survived. This past weekend there was another, similar incident. This time, however, the outcome was not happy. This patient did not survive. The two incidents point out an important fact about the difficulties faced by rescue squads in providing emergency medical care in the county. Even if there are squad members at the building who can respond as soon as a call is received, there are many places that they cannot reach within the fourto six-minute “window” within which they have some hope of reviving a patient in cardiac arrest. In most cases, there is not a squad standing by at its building, and considerably more than four to six minutes will elapse before they arrive at the scene. For a patient who has stopped breathing, that’s too long. When heart and brain tissue is deprived of oxygen for more than those few precious minutes, it dies — and so does the patient. That observation is not a criticism of the county’s r, ^ dedicated volunteer fire and rescue personnel. It’s simply a fact. Those volunteers are the first to say that the most important thing that the members of the community could do to assist the rescue squads in their work is to take a Red Cross course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The technique is not difficult, and can be performed by one person, or by two people working together. The course typically takes two evenings, or about six to eight hours. It can also save lives. CPR provides the lungs and blood with oxygen through mouth-to-mouth respiration, and chest compressions circulate the blood even though the victim’s heart may have stopped beating. February is Heart Month, a time when the American Heart Association focuses public awareness on the need for taking care of our hearts. That’s a worthy goal. But we’d like to urge our readers to take a CPR course, so that they have the training to take care of someone else’s heart as well. Information about CPR courses is available by calling the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council in Culpeper (825-6849). As a footnote, if someone complains of chest pain, dizziness, nausea or difficulty breathing, call the dispatch center and request a rescue squad. Don’t wait, even if the patient insists that there’s nothing wrong. Denial is a common reaction to the symptoms of a heart attack. It could mean the difference between life and death. / MOVE THAT THE QoAAO &£■ iiMcae-Aseo peon To MEMOEfZT // /sVt that The. w'A'/ th£ FirtST C/rnei.

Or are they just a ploy to obtain increased .*?****>■ * Anyone correctM ass$|Mfeg Mikhail Gorbachev’s appearanre at the United Nations in December cannot overlook his teetering economy, restless satellites, continuing military buildup and empty treasury. Even if he succeeds with his highly-publicized military cutbacks, the Soviet dictator will still maintain a 2.5 to 1 superiority over NATO in tanks and artillery, and his 10 percent reduction in troop strength will still leave him with a huge numerical advantage over opposition forces in Western Europe. The Soviet Union’s economy is pitifully small compared to that of the United States, according to American Enterprise Institute scholar Nicholas Everstadt. He de scribes the Soviet economy as “smaller, more militarized and more seriously troubled than most Western experts h%e allowed themselves to imagine.” Mr. Eberstadt further concludes “that Western trade with and aid to the Soviet Union play a much greater role in bolstering the Soviet state than the United States and Europe seem to realize.” Mr. Gorbachev’s main goal during this latest visit to America was to obtain Western financing for his sick regime, according to Mr. Everstadt. He cited the Gorbachev agenda as given in the Dec. 8 Wall Street Journal, “. . . access to U.S. stock and financial markets, including the right to issue Soviet bonds in the United States; a revision of current U.S. laws barring U.S. governmentguaranteed export credits to the Soviet Union; a revised tax treaty to permit U.S. firms in joint ventures to benefit from Soviet tax concessions; and an investment protection agreement to encourage such ventures.” The troop and armaments reductions announced by Mr. Gorbachev are virtually meaningless except to divert atterftion from his real economic needs. When Congress is asked to pass legislation that will help the Soviets to get the aid they desperately need, individual representatives and senators will be pressured to vote for it because of his military cutbacks. But the cutbacks still leave the USSR with a huge advantage, something that will increasingly be paid for by the West. The USSR is on the ropes. Glaa- , nost and parestroika are as phony as detente. Clearly, it’s time to end all assistance to a brutal tyranny. Doing so now could lead to a collapse of Communism. JON COLLINS Woodbridge A step toward financing long-term care By D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER JR. Member of Congress Seventh District of Virginia As more and more people reach old age, and live longer in old age, the demand for long-term h^pjth care — and the need to find ways to pay for it — will continue to grow. Public awareness of the need for coverage against the potentially huge expense of long-term care is on the rise and will continue to increase dramatically, with good cause. By the year 2000, an estimated 35 million Americans, or 12 percent of our population, will be age 65 or older, and the life expectancy of those who are 65 years old will rise to age 81 for men and age 86 for women. As a result, the nursing home population is likely to double over the next 12 years to 2.2 million. Despite these warning figures, however, comprehensive long-term care insurance is in neither great supply nor great demand in our country. Although that is gradually changing, there is much the federal government can do to spur both the demand and the supply sides of this equation. I believe this is imperative because it is extremely doubtful that the federal government can solve the problem of financing long-term care without appealing to a substantial degree to the private sector. One way the federal government can help is to offer group long-term care insurance on a voluntary basis to some of its 2.5 million workers. I introduced legislation (H.R. 5167) last year to do precisely that, and I have re-introduced the same bill in the House of Representaives this week. Under the terms of this legislation, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) would select, through a competitive bidding proc ess, several private insurance companies to participate in a new federal employee long-term care insurance program. For ease of administration, this option would initially be open only to the 650,000 federal employees who are 50 years of age and older and their spouses. After five years OPM could open the program up to federal employees and spouses of all ages. Participation in this program Would be voluntary, and the cosrS|^ the insurance would be paid by each employee. The competitive bidding process and the availability of a group plan is likely to make the federal long-term insurance policies available under this program much more attractive and affordable than an individual long-term care policy. As an additional incentive to encourage federal employees to participate in this program, this legislation would permit those insured under federal group life insurance to voluntarily convert, on a tax-free basis, a portion of this policy to the new long-term care insurance program. This would enable participants to lower the monthly premium for their new long-term care insurance. This conversion option recognizes the changing needs of some federal employees as they get older and protection against the frightening costs of long-term care becomes more important. Indeed, for many Americans this represents the greatest fear of old age — a debilitating illness that leaves one unable to care for himself or herself. By offering group long-term care insurance to federal employees, as well as their spouses, and by permitting them to convert a portion of their federal life insurance to longterm care coverage, this legislation should provide a significant incen tive for insurance companies to enhance their long-term care policies and motivate federal employees to purchase such policies at affordable rates. The number of firms offering long-term care policies has increased more than fivefold over the last three years and more than 700,000 individuals now hold such policies. We need to increase both of these figures, and this legislation would represent a significant step in that direction. In addition, the actuarial data made available through this program would be of great benefit to Congress and to the insurance industry in analyzing this emerging pew market. Finally, this program would encourage other businesses and state and local governments to offer similar policies to their employees, thereby increasing both the supply of and demand for long-term car£ insurance. U.S. Sen. Pete Wilson of California has reintroduced the Senate version of this legislation, which last year garnered 31 bipartisan co-sponsors. We are hopeful for quick action in the 101st Congress to provide this initial federal response to a clear and growing national need: financing long-term health care.

Legislators' tax fight takes unusual turn By ANDY GUEST Rappahannock News Contributing Writer RICHMOND — The House and Senate Finance C ommittees this week found themselves in an unusual quandry. Instead of the yearly bat. - tie over how current tax revenues are going to pay for mandated programs and services, mem- bers are trying to decide how best to return tax-* payers’ money: through tax credits or tax *1 repeals. To the naked eye, Virginia appears to be rolling in cash — we’re not only meeting our budgetary responsibilities for the biennium, the administration says, but our balance sheet shows a “ $500 million-plus surplus. Add in the revenues from the state lottery and we could be talking C close to $800 million. That’s enough to make the -' eyes of even the most frugal legislator, or governor, open wide with amazement. But look closer. The truth is that Congress is responsible for a major portion of this windfall '. surplus. The 1986 Federal Tax Reform Act kicked in three years ago with its new income tax brackets and the repeal of a whole slew of deductions, among other changes, all of which sent , » wads of taxpayers’ money into the state treasury quicker than Virginia lawmakers could find the buttons on their calculators. This money rightfully belongs to Virginia’s taxpayers — meaning ---- that much of Gov. Baliles’ surplus is an illusion. Responding immediately to this situation two years ago, the Republican Caucus, through our designated hitter Republican Del. Walter Stoch (an accounting expert who has earned strong bipartisan respect from his colleagues over the years), devised a plan after the federal reforms were adopted for a fair and equitable tax relief program that would have returned the windfall tax money to its rightful owner —the taxpayers of Virginia. Gov. Baliles, father of the largest budget increases in our history, as well as the overseer of a burgeoning state bureaucracy, sat back and engineered the death of this proposal. Lt. Gov. Doug Wilder, not one to fall into lock step with his fellow Democrat, at least in the early years of the Baliles administration, picked up a Republican initiative from the 1960s: removing the sales tax from food and non-prescription drugs — and supported tax repeal. The governor stopped his lieutenant in his tracks this time also. But this is a state-wide election year and politics appears to be fueling this administration’s speeding train. Gov. Baliles would have us believe that his $100 million tax credit proposal is a fair distribution of the tax windfall. He thinks that the maximum credit of $35 is an ad equate return. Of course, only those who make between $17,000 and $35,000 will see even a fraction of this return. The taxpayer whose taxes generated the major portion of the surplus will see none of it, and those owing no tax of course will get no benefit. And Doug Wilder — well, he’s flopping around again on the deck of Jerry’s ship of state. Two weeks ago he told reporters he would not push for the repeal of the sales tax on non-prescription medicines, a potential return of about $12 to every Virginian, which benefits especially the very poor and the elderly with fixed income. Who are we to believe and when can we believe them? Meanwhile, the House and Senate finance committees will forge ahead, looking at all alternatives to the Jerry and Doug show. As the ranking Republican on the House Finance Committee, I foresee a heated debate before this matter is settled. What I do know is that I will support only those initiatives which are fair and equitable to all Virginians. The state’s money, after all, belongs to you — the taxpayer. *" Del.

Betty Reams, state director for the 1989 NSHC said “participation was much greater than anticipated. Older Virginians have a lot to offer and the opportunity to deal with issues affecting all ages is an exciting concept, especially when a cross section of older Americans is involved.” Throughout Planning District 9, the Rappahannock-Rapidan Com munity services Center will coordinate any input from seniors, said Sallie Morgan, Aging Services Coordinator. Any suggestions for pending legislation to be considered by the NSHC should be sent to Mrs. Morgan at the RRCSC, 401 South Main St., Culpeper 22701, or submitted through the senior program coordinators in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange or Rappahannock counties. Each of the 61 candidates in the recent election throughout Virginia’s 10 congressional districts had served at least one term in the Virginia Silver Haired Legislatures held in 1983, ’85, and ’87.

She was delighted to have her brother Henry Underwood, his wife Mildred and their daughters Karen Underwood and Judy Hill attend. They are from Baltimore, Md. Many friends in the community also attended. Mrs. Stuart moved here in 1953 from Bethesda, Md. Of Mrs. Stuart’s long list of aeV complishments and service to the community, her greatest contribution was her desire to fulfill her late husband’s, Navy Captain Luther B. Stuart’s dream of providing the Ruritan Club and the ball teams with a place to continue their activities to unite our community and provide wholesome activities for our children. Mrs. Stuart donated the 8.6acre tract known as Stuart’s Field in Capt. Stuart’s memory. Mrs. Stuart’s special day began by her Sunday School class presenting her with a corsage. She was presented with gifts by the United Methodist Women president Pauline Latham. Pastor Parker announced the live flowers in the sanctuary were also in her honor. Mrs. Frances Semones provided biographical data and shared how Mrs. Stuart had made life better for so many in our community, and what a great blessing she had been as an active member of the United Methodist Women (UMW). The congregation was invited to join in the reception following the worship services. Mrs. Stuart was being honored prior to her move in the near future to the Baptist Retirement Community in Culpeper, which is designed for independent living. She plans to visit Amissville frequently. She has no plans for complete retirement; she’s already making plans to provide crafts for the UMW’s fall bazaar when she’s settled into her new home. Mrs. Stuart’s career included being director of nursing in several hospitals, as well as a nurse in the Navy during World War II. According to her many friends and neighbors, Mrs. Stuart’s life has always been that of service and dedication, preferring others over herself. The community will always be grateful for her many contributions and wish her continued good health and our love. Bill would cover long-term care Virginia Congressman D. French Slaughter Jr., (R-7th) reintroduced a bill on Tuesday, Jan. 31 to give federal employees the option of purchasing group long-term care insurance. Rep. Slaughter’s bill would offer group long-term care insurance to the 650,000 federal employees who are 50 years of age or older, as well as their spouses. It would permit these employees to voluntarily convert a portion of their federal life insurance to long-term care coverage on a tax-free basis. * In addition to providing coverage against the huge expense of longterm care, Mr. Slaughter believes his legislation could serve as a significant incentive to motivate private insurance companies to develop quality, affordable long-term care policies. Mr. Slaughter’s bill is similar to legislation (H.R. 5167) he introduced late in the 100th session which had more than 15 co-sponsors. U.S. Sen. Pete Wilson (R-Calif.) is expected to reintroduce a similar Senate version of the bill, which last year garnered 31 bipartisan co-sponsors.

It will cover accounting, insurance, contracting, staffing, booking, public relations and publicity, equipment, image and hospitality, zoning and health regulations, and much more. The $100 cost of the workshop will include lunch and a hehind-thescenes tour of the Conyers House operation.

Spaghetti is a versatile favorite By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics One of the world’s best-loved pasta treasures is spaghetti. Although its origin is lost in antiquity, several legends lend color to its beginning. The best-known tale is that Marco Polo introduced spaghetti to Italy. His enthusiasm for the noodles he had eaten during his famous trip to China, the story goes, led him to introduce the food to his homeland upon his return. In recent years, however, scholars have questioned the Marco Polo story. For one thing, macaroni was mentioned in “Life of the Blessed William Hermit” which was written about 1200 A.D. This was about 50 years before Polo's birth. Regardless of where spaghetti originated, today this pasta is enjoyed worldwide. Usually, spaghetti is smothered in a tomato sauce and dotted with meatballs. The pasta's delicate flavor makes it perfect with cheese, vegetables, seafood and even chicken and ham. One needs to learn to cook spaghetti ai dente t“to the bite”) — tender but still firm, with no starch taste. It may take a little practice to master the art, but it's well worth A the time. When cooking spaghetti, allow about 1-1 "2 to 2 oz. of the uncooked pasta per serving. Two ounces of spaghetti have only about 200 calories. A tomato sauce with very little fat and a moderate amount of lean meat adds about 225 more calories. Add a tossed green salad with a low-calorie dressing and you have a delicious, complete meal with fewer than 500 calories. If you are cooking for a crowd, one pound will yield nine to 10 cups of cooked spaghetti. For best results, cook one pound in a gallon of boiling water to which two table spoons of salt have been added. Check the label for cooking time; it varies from one brand to another depending upon the thickness and composition of the product. The highest quality of spaghetti is made from 100 percent durum wheat. Durum, the hardest of all varieties of wheat, needs certain environmental and climatic conditions to thrive. Most of the durum wheat grown in the United States comes from North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Montana. Ample rainfall in spring and summer and a mild, dry autumn are important to the crop. Pasta made from durum resists the tendency to stick together — especially important in spaghetti cookery. If your spaghetti persists in sticking, try dumping the cooked noodles into a colander and quickly rinsing in cold water. This washes off the excess starch, which causes the noodles to stick. After draining, toss the noodles in a bit of oil or whatever sauce you are serving. This coats the noodles and prevents sticking. Try some of our spaghetti entrees. If there are any leftovers, spaghetti may be frozen in a sauce for several months or refrigerated for three or four days.

Rappahannock Journal Logging's future on line Loggers and foresters are facing the possibility of mandatory water quality regulations imposed by the Commonwealth of Virginia. According to the Forestry Task Force for Water Quality, such regulations would drastically change the way logging operations are conducted. The Task Force, a group which includes logging and lumbering interests as well as representatives from the state Department of Forestry, will hold a series of dinners and meetings across the state to discuss “The Future of Logging in Virginia — Can You Affort BMP Regulations?” In this area, meetings will be held in Amissville at the fire hall on Feb. 21 at 6 p.m.; in Orange on Feb. 22 at the Orange County Rescue Squad building (Route 20 bypass) at 6 p.m.; and March 7 in Flu Oat shortage causes ASCS rule revision Because oats are in short supply, limited cross-compliance requirements will not be in effect for 1989crop oats, according to Linda Henry, executive director of the county’s ASCS committee. This means that farm program participants may have an acreage planted to oats in excess of the crop acreage base for oats for a farm without sacrificing their eligibility for other program crop benefits. Ms. Henry said limited crosscompliance requirements are in effect for all other program crops, including barley, meaning that the planted acreages of non-participating program crops on the farm may not exceed the crop acreage bases of those crops. The acreage intended for barley and oats on participating farms is limited to the permitted acreage for barley and oats on the farm. Producers who are not participating in the barley and oats program, but are participating in the program for another crop on the farm, may have an acreage planted to oats in excess of the oat acreage base. However, because of the provision for substituting crop acreage base to oats, nonparticipating producers intending to plant barley should contact their ASCS office for the permitted barley acreage, Ms. Henry emphasized. The 1988 oats crop is forecast at a record-low 211 million bushels. Lifting the cross-compliance requirement is expected to increase oats acreage for the future, she said. Beef meeting Feb. 9-11 More than 400 of Virginia’s cattle producers are expected to attend the 1989 Virginia Beef Industry Convention, set for Feb. 9-11 at the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville, said Ike Eller, Virginia Cooperative Extension beef specialist at Virginia Tech. The conference is sponsored by the Virginia Cooperative Extension service and 10 of the state’s cattle associations: the Virginia Cattlemen’s Association; Virginia Beef .Cattle Improvement. Association; Virginia Cattle Feeders Association; Virginia Cattle Women; Virginia Livestock Markets Association; Virginia Angus Association; Virginia Polled Hereford Association. Also speaking will be Bob Hillier of Garden City, Kan. Hillier operates a successful large feeder operation called Hitch Feeders II Inc. A trade show with 30 commercial, exhibitors is also part of the conference.

The spokesman urged the state’s forestry industry to take the lead in “cleaning up our own act” by instituting voluntary Best Management Practices, without the added costs, time delays and frustrations of mandatory government regulations. The series of dinner meetings, the spokesman explained, have been designed to alert loggers and foresters to the need to change the way some of their activities are conducted. “The Department of Forestry, in cooperation with forestry industry leaders, has developed plans to keep forestry operations unregulated. We want your input and support.” The meeting will include a “come-as-you-are” dinner, to which all loggers and their crews are invited. Following the dinner there will be a short presentation of the suggested Best Management Practices program, along with new Water Quality guideline information to make logging operations more efficient and profitable. State leaders from the Department of Forestry, Virginia Tech’s Forestry Extension Service and the forestry industry will also be present to answer questions and to hear loggers’ comments. “We hope all the area’s loggers will make plans to attend one of these important meetings,” the spokesman said. “It’s your job and your future that’s at stake.” Questions should be addressed to Rappahannock’s Forest Warden, Tippy Jenkins (987-8837), or call (804) 9775193. Accuracy saves time filing tax returns “Spend a few moments now to complete your tax return accurately, and you could save several days, or weeks, of waiting for your tax refund,” says Jack G. Petrie, Internal Revenue Service District Director in Richmond. “Individuals who file early usually make fewer errors than those who file in haste late in the filing season. And errors are the primary reason for the delay of tax refunds. An error-free, early-filed tax return should result in an early refund (six to eight weeks after filing),” Mr. Petrie said. So, spend some time now to prepare your return. Good preparation is the best way to begin. Start as soon as possible, and before you begin, check these items: • Collect all the necessary forms (i.e., Form 1099 interest statements) and records (i.e., medical expenses, charitable contributions). Good tax records are essential to prepare a complete and accurate income tax return. • Make sure you have enough paper, or a calculator, for your math figuring. . • Don’t rush your work. Take your time, and consult the instructions for each line. • Make sure you receive a Form W-2, “Wage and Tax Statement,” from each employer worked for during the past year. Once you complete your return, take a few moments and look it over. Then go through the following check list. Remember, errors or omissions will delay processing and hold up any refund date. • Are your W-2 forms attached? • Have you attached all schedules and forms in order of the “Attachment Sequence No.” that is shown in the upper right corner of the sched ule or form? • Have you checked the exemption boxes and written in the names of your dependents? If you claimed dependents age five or older, have you listed each dependent’s social security number? • Is your arithmetic correct? • Are your entries all on the right lines? (Social Security income on the Unemployment Compensation line will cause problems.) • If you rounded off your numbers, did you round off consistently? • When you used the Tax Table, did you follow the line across to the correct column for your filing status? Use k ruler or straight edge to be sure. • Is the return signed and dated? Remember, if it’s a joint return, your spouse, must sign too. It can’t be processed if it’s not signed. • Did you attach the peel-off labe to your return, and is the informa tion on the label correct? Did you use the pre-addressed coded enveloped The label and envelope help speeci up processing. • Have you retained a copy ol your return for your records? • Did you remember to put a stamp on the pre-addressed envelope?

Sellers will normally assume it’s worth more than it is and most buyers will understandably attempt to “low-ball” the value. The best selling price is determined by the location and the current market. An overpriced house sitting on the market for months becomes very difficult to sell at the price. So first, you must get in line with the market. That means a realistic valuation. Nobody—but nobody—is more aware of the current housing market than our agency. We can bring our own appraisal expert or even a team of salespeople who will individually price your home and then reach a fair concensus. Also, you can hire a qualified independent appraiser to get an “arms length,” objective valuation. This carries a lot of weight during negotiation. Your price should include curtains, draperies, refrigerator, airconditioners, dishwasher, builtins. It’s a better package deal and may hasten the sale.

Generally these hecklers just yell whenever the ref makes a close call against their team, and you wonder how these people would react to some truly poor officiating. Those who witnessed the Rappahannock Panthers surprising 71-64 loss to the Brentsville Tigers Tuesday night in Nokesville know the answer. The reaction is stunned silence. Referee Ron Curlings and umpire Steve Philips seemingly made calls at their discretion, opting for a touch foul over flagrant pushes on numerous occasions. Admittedly, two men can’t watch every inch of the court at a given moment, so a few misses are understandable. For example, early in the first half Curlings was unable to make a call against the Tigers because he was too busy avoiding Panther Anthony Porter, who was set for a rebound when the Brentsville player simply pushed him out of the way. But other missed calls are not as easily explained. “Right now, we are not happy campers,” said Panther coach Gary Leake, in an interview following the loss. “This is the second time this year we’ve been outhustled and the second time we lost,” added Coach Leake, giving a lot of credit to the Tigers. ‘I knew when we got on the bus to come here it was going to be a tough game.’ Rappahannock fell behind early in the contest 10-3, but then rallied behind Porter and Eric Dunn to narrow the lead to 11-12. At this point Curlings and Philips made their presence felt. Questionable calls on both teams left the players flustered, and the tension on the court was obvious. Amid all the pushing and shoving Dunn heisted the ball at half court and slammed it through the hoop, giving Rapp its first lead, 25-23. Following an exchange of buckets the Rappahannock News photos/Cindy Mahan GOING UP FOR TWO, Benji Roy adds two points to Rappahannock’s win against Shenandoah Valley Academy last week. Panthers went into the half with a 31-29 edge. Brentsville’s Tigers jumped out of intermission with four points in a row and although the Panthers evened the score twice, they never made it back on top again. RCHS had a final run with a little under two minutes left in the contest. Jamie Walters cut it to 57-63 but Curlings and Philips again intruded. Panther defensive specialist Julian Groves was called for his fifth foul; it should have been his fourth. Earlier Groves had been whistled for a violation, then the referee amended the call and gave the foul to Mike Payne instead. But this correction was never noted in the score book, and without Groves the Panth ers comeback fell short, 71-64. With the loss to Brentsville, Rappahannock slips to second place in the Bull Run District at 7-2. The Central Falcons remain in first at 101 following their 92-73 win over Strasburg on Tuesday night. “Nothing dose went our way tonight. We couldn’t run, play defense, rebound, or hit free throws,” said Coach Leake. “In a lot of people’s eyes everything we did was wrong.” Each time the Panthers tried to pick up the tempo and play aggresively, a whistle blew, he said. “Mentally it took us out of the game.” Travis Stanley led the Tigers with 23 points. The Panthers were paced by Dunn with a game high 26.

January ends with two easy hoop wins By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer The Varsity Panthers of Rappahannock capped a perfect 3-0 home stand week on Friday by crushing district foe Manassas Park, 76-51. The Panthers’ earlier wins were over Miller Academy on Tuesday and the Shenandoah Valley Academy Stags 89-46 Wednesday night. Following the victory over the Manassas Park Cougars, an elated Gary Leake said the first quarter was the finest offensive and defensive showing by the Panthers all season. “When you can play a whole quarter and limit a team to one field goal you’re doing a lot of things right,” the coach said. The Panthers were a perfect five-for-five in the opening period of the Cougar game and led 22-0 before • Jrtjli TJaSeef "BrsacLj I Viols • # X, Valentines (iii'l llaskcts \ Keepsake H.iskel filled with .1 chocolate v heart, duffles, gourmet coffee, cocoas, ► pieserves, and chocolate sauce ..

Rapppahannock continued to dominate in the second period and built a 43-12 lead at halftime. “The main topic in the locker room was the amount of defensive pressure we were applying. The whole team was very enthusiastic,” Leake said. The Cougars managed only four buckets. In the second half RCHS got comfortable and wandered a little from thejr game plan, allowing the Cougars to cut into the 30 point lead. But Manassas Park was never a match for the Panthers, who tallied a 76-51 victory. Rappahannock saw five players score in double figures led by Eric Dunn with 18 and Julian droves wit h 15. Transfer student Jamie Walters playing in his first game racked up 11 points. Coach Leake looks for Walters to be a major contributor. The Panthers controlled the boards with 50 rebounds, paced by Anthony Porter’s 14, and forced over 40 Manassas turnovers. The Shenandoah game w as also no problem for the Panthers who dominated 89-46. The best defense of the day against the Panthers was applied by a referee who got in Groves' path on a fast break, forcing him to lose the ball. In both games RCHS listed nine players in the scoring column. that s one of the reasons I love my wife So today, when she colled me at the office and said she wonts to pre-plan our funerals I wasn t surprised Besides, now that I think about it, it's a good idea.

Race Continued from page 1 not proceed at such a pace that it upsets the fabric and life of the area. This is especially true, he said, when federal money brings a project to an area, and the sudden influx of money brings sudden development — more than the area can handle. “We need to keep the rate of growth the same, constant. And local government has got a big say in that,” Mr. Gilliam maintained. “In the future we should have some say in how fast we grow .... Local government should have the right to say, ‘No!’.” In response to a question, Mr. Gilliam said he is opposed to surtaxes on specific groups like the one proposed for senior citizens to pay for catastrophic illness insurance. “Why then should senior citizens pay for public schools?” Mr. Gilliam asked. Such a concept, he said, could lead to the breakdown of taxing authority, and “the frightful prospect of divisions between generations." He said he is concerned that drugs and alcohol are at the root of many of the problems being faced today. He related the story of how his home and business have been burglarized several times, and suggested that some means have to be found to ensure that criminals are convicted and punished. Asked about his views on home schooling, Mr. Gilliam replied that he feels that such policies are best left to the local school divisions and their people. “I have no specific ideas on that, other than that I believe in traditional family values.” He said that, in general, he favors the federal government turning over some of its programs to the individual states to administer. ‘‘Any money we send to Washington, we will lose some. I would rather it go to Richmond — we’ve got a better chance to get it back.” The president of Gilliam Lumber Co., he lives in Warren County with his wife, Kathryn and their two children. Mr. Gilliam has been active in Republican politics since 1964, including working closely with Del. Guest. He is now the chairman of the Warren County Republican Committee. Malcolm L. “Mac” Trevor also announced his candidacy last week. Mr. Trevor is a former federal employee and diplomat who served in both the Reagan and Nixon administrations. Under President Reagan he worked in the Office of Management and Budget, while he served as American Consul to Barcelona, Spain, under President Nixon. In the interim, Mr. Trevor was stationed overseas as well as at the Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute in Rosslyn. Mr. Trevor is presently a business partner with William H. Stanhagen, a former Republican National Committee representative from Virginia, in S and S Investments Inc., which creates general partnerships in real estate, energy and hotel development. He served six years' active duty as an intelligence officer and navigator in the Air Force, and is now retired from the Air Force Reserve Council's agenda The following is the tentative agenda for the Washington Town Council’s meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 8. The meeting will be held at the Courthouse, beginning at 8 p.m. Although the items listed are tentatively set for action, the agenda is subject to change or addition by a “super-majority” vote of five members of the council. • Public hearing on application for Virginia Community Development Block Grant for overhaul of town water system. Public comment is invited, and both oral and written comments will be accepted. • Public comment on local “Community Development and housing needs” in relation to the town’s application for the CDBG funds for the water system. • Monthly business reports from Water Authority, Planning Commission and treasurer. • New business: Request from Claybert Smoot to subdivide a town lot, zoned Village Residential.

Mr. Trevor is married, with four sons. He lives in Front Royal. David N. Crump Jr. declared last Thursday, in announcing his candidacy that, “Government must work for all of us — but good government doesn’t just happen, it is achieved.” Mr. Crump is the former Warren County Commonwealth’s Attorney, who now serves as attorney for the Town of Front Royal, a post he has held since 1979. Among his accomplishments representing the town and county, Mr. Crump cited his successful prosecution of Roman Leimer in the “pig bones” case, when Mr. Leimer feigned his own fiery death by placing pig bones in the cab of his Exxon tanker truck and setting fire to it on Interstate 66. He also got a conviction of Thomas Drumhejler, who was accused of the murder of Hope Atkins, whom he abducted from a Front Royal laundromat. Drumheller is presently serving two life terms plus six years. As the attorney representing Front Royal before an administrative review board in Philadelphia, Mr. Crump defended the town against an action brought by the Environmental Protection Agency seeking to recover $90,000, an alleged overpayment for a federal water and sewer grant. In addition to defeating the EPA’s action for repayment, Mr. Crump won the town an additional $400,000 in water and sewer funding through an additional grant. He served two years in the U.S. Army, and was discharged in 1971 with the rank of lieutenant in military intelligence. Mr. Crump lives outside Flint Hill with his wife, Kym and their infant twins. Mr. Crump promised that he will work to assure that the 31st District receives fair recognition in Richmond. That task, he said, “takes dedication, resolve and persistence — and a strong voice in the legislature. I will be that voice.” Geo Bee at Wakefield Several area students were semifinalists in the National Geography Bee held at Wakefield School in Huntly on Jan. 26. Van DeBergh, son of Mr. and Mrs. James DeBergh Jr. of Washington and Scotty Updike, son of Mr. and Mrs. Randall Updike of Washington were fourth-grade semifinalists. Welby Lynn, daughter of Mrs. Pamela W. Lynn of Washington and the late Dr. William E. Lynn Jr., represented the fifth grade. Daliah Macon, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Richard Macon of Flint Hill, was a seventh-grade competitor; and Rachel Monahan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Monahan of Boston was chosen to compete for the eighth grade. Eighth-grader Ben Martin of Harper’s Ferry, W.Va., won the competition among the best geography students in grades four through eight at Wakefield; he will now compete in the state contest. National Geographic WORLD, the National Geographic Society’s magazine for children, is sponsoring the new Geography Bee in schools around the nation. The contest was developed in response to a growing concern about the lack of geographic knowledge among young people in the United States. A nine-country Gallup Survey conducted for the Society last May found that people in the United States ages 18 to 24, the youngest group surveyed, knew less about geography than young people in any of the other countries.

In Rappahannock, a special exception from the Board of Supervisors is necessary for more than three lots divided from what was a parcel of record as of 1973. But, said Mr. McCarthy, Rappahannock’s standards under which an exception must be considered are more specific than Fauquier’s. And, the ordinance specifies that if those standards are met, then the exception must be granted. “It’s just like the way the Board of Zoning Appeals handles a special use permit application,” he explained. “The supervisors can’t turn down something because they don’t think it’s an appropriate use or because they don’t think it complies with the comprehensive plan.” In addition, he said, Fauquier’s incorporation of a sliding scale, which triggers the special exception requirement at 50 lots, lends more of a legislative aspect to Fauquier’s special exception. Mr. McCarthy conceded, however, that if a court finds Fauquier County has made subdivision approval into a legislative act when state law says it’s a ministerial act, then Rappahannock’s special exception process is also at risk. “If theirs is overturned in principle, it will affect the way we make our land-use decisions.” At the same time, he’s predicting that Fauquier’s board will win the case on the water issue. And in any event, watchers from both sides in the ever-hotter development wars are betting this one goes all the way to the Virginia Supreme Court. “And that could take years,” Mr. McCarthy noted.

The revisions submitted by Dr. Krebser also call for the promotion of tourism as long as tourismoriented development is compatible with the rural and agricultural character of Rappahannock. In addition, the revisions stipulate that economic growth be allowed only if it is compatible with Rappahannock’s environmental quality and rural character and does not adversely affect active farm operations, forestry operations, residential neighborhoods, the tourist industry and the county’s fiscal stability. The planning commissioners will review Dr. Krebser’s proposed revisions to the comprehensive plan’s goal and objectives as well as other changes suggested by Mr. McCarthy at their Feb. 15 meeting. Blossoming medians Lawmakers have come up w'ith a blooming good idea. Congress has required that a portion of the funds allocated to landscape along federal highways be spent to plant native wildflowers. According to National Wildlife magazine, wildflowers greatly reduce the need for and expense of mowing and watering, and seem to deter motorists from littering.

Premarital counseling: five questions for couples By LAUREL SCOTT Democrat Staff Writer After the honeymoon’s over, what remains? The job of building a successful marriage takes work, patience, and ideally, a little advance planning. The best time to start talking about your future together, according to the experts, is well before that stroll down the aisle. Premarital counseling is a good investment in this day and age when statistics tell us one in two marriages end in divorce. No doubt by now you feel you are well aware of most of the differences between you and your spouse-to-be. If you’re lucky, you may even have been able to strike compromises of sorts between the styles of music you listen to, the places you go out to eat, and the friends you surround yourself with. That’s good. Give and take has got to start somewhere. Unfortunately, that isn’t enough. The saying “love is blind” applies to more than the lover and his beloved. People in the throes of love somehow forget to ask each other the most important questions of all, preferring instead to avoid dispelling the mood with even a hint of conflict. Reality will kick in sooner or later. To prevent discovering incompatibilities the hard way further on down the line, why not bring a capable, unbiased mediator in to monitor your discussions, and to offer counseling as needed ? If you are to be married in a certain faith, you will no doubt have been approached by a priest, rector or rabbi about counseling sessions of one sort or another as a prerequesife to marriage in that faith. Take advantage of this, by all means. Don’t be intimidated by the religious tone of such “free advice.” As the great scholar Joseph Campbell once said, “How many people before marriage receive spiritual instruction as to what the marriage means? You can stand up in front of a judge, and in 10 minutes get married. The marriage ceremony in India lasts three days. That couple is glued.” However, marriage is more than a spiritual bonding 'til death do you part, and religious leaders are well aware of this fact. They can offer valuable advice on everything from how to deal with in-laws, to handling a joint budget. Altogether too many men of the cloth complain of being “the last to know” about a domestic problem with which they could have helped out. In some religions, Catholicism for instance, premarital counseling takes the form of mandatory classes. In other faiths, the requirements vary. Beyond the basic prerequisites (both persons being baptized in the same religion, for example), it is often left up to the individual religious leader and the couple what topics to discuss. If you and your fiance do not plan to be married within a specific religion, and even if you do, marriage counselors and most mental health workers are well-qualified and available to lend an ear, or even direct a discussion between the two of you if necessary. There are five major categories which should be touched upon in any discussion of marriage: •MONEY. Even sex therapists believe this to be the most intimate of subjects, and the one that causes the most problems for young couples. Money means different things to different people. Whatever the differences between you, a sound fiscal policy (and that includes the weekly household budget) is a must. Goal-setting with your partner is something to do early on to avoid strife later due to misunderstandings. Sit down and take a good hard look at incoming funds, and then make a list of what major purchases you’d both like to make, what kind of savings you’d like to build and any expensive luxuries you’d like to indulge in. From the outset and periodically throughout your marriage, get in the habit of making these two lists and weighing one against the other to make necessary adjustments. The issue of joint checking accounts and how much each person is allowed to spend per month is worth considering as well. •SEX. Each partner brings prior sexual experiences with Kim into the marriage bed; this is unavoidable. Hie combination of these experiences and a person’s upbringing make for a certain set of expectations about marital intimacy. Your expectations can never really be identical to those of your partner. Thus, give and take and a lot of understanding must predominate in the bedroom. It might sound silly at this stage of your relationship, but sexual intimacy will not always be the dreamy, glowing fantasy it seems now. Sexual roles change with people, and it requires work to keep in synchronization with this facet of your lives as well as all others. While it requires some thought, planning and consideration to grow with these changes, sex should never become a chore, but always remain a wonderfully important part of your marriage. And, if the subject has not yet been broached, the issue of AIDS and AIDS».testing should be dealt with well before you tie the knot. •CHILDREN. You’d be surprised how often this subject is neglected until it’s either too late to make a decision, or the decision has already, in a sense, been made for a couple. Prospective mates need to discuss the concept of “family life” as they see it; do you want two children, or six? Do you want them to be raised the way you were, or not? When would it be most financially safe to have children? Should the wife return to work after the children reach a certain age, or stay at home with them through high school ? These are among the most basic questions to be considered. Religion, value systems and the marital relationship itself all come into play when children enter the scenario. Husband and wife may unconsciously nurture wildly differing notions of child-rearing, which will invariably cause trauma it not dealt with in a mutually satisfactory manner early on. •IN—LAWS. The old saying goes that when you marry a person, you also marry a family. In some respects, this is true.

Flowers can be a permanent memento of day By LAUREL SCOTT Democrat Staff Writer Flowers form an integral parr of any wedding ceremony, setting the style and mood tor the event long before the bride and groom make their appearances. Wouldn’t it he nice to he able to recapture that feeling years afterward with a breathtaking wedding bouquet you can keep forever.'

With silk and dried flowers, a bride has a keepsake memento of that special day not only tor herself and future generations, but for her bridesmaids and other family members as well. Of the two, silk flowers are by tar the more common, and are readily available at most area florists’ shops. Democrat Photo by Karl Pittelkau Silk and dried flowers for weddings are an investment you can re-use like this one from Designs by Teresa. Wedding expert Martha Stewart called silk flowers “an art form.” In her landmark hook “Weddings” (Clarkson N. Potter, Inc., 1987), she added, “|They] are not artificial flowers, hut handmade flowers, and they have an aura and delicacy all their own. “They have a soft, age-old quality and a rarefied color, and would complement an antique gown especially well." Warrenton florist Nancy Granger arranges silks at Hicher’s Flowers and (.ntt Shop on 7th and Main streets in Old Town. "We tend to do a lot of roses Orchids are also vert popular." she said. Ms. Granger commented that the advantages of silk wedding flow ers are mam. “leu hate the ipporti; mt\ to make the arrangements well in advance.” he pointed out. “The hride can,have her pictures taken earlv.

Mowrv Spencer, who owns and manages the Something Special Shoppe on Loudoun Street in Leesburg, does both silks and dried blossoms. He said that his silk blossoms, like those of most florists’ shops, come from a variety of sources. “The best ones made right now are from France and the United States. The best prices right now are of course in China,” Spencer said. In the realm of dried arrangements, roses are again the favorite choice of most brides, he commented. “We also do a lot of baby's breath, dried carnations and delphinium. We did a tall wedding last year arid combined dried flowers with feathers,” Spencer said. Dried flowers also tend to come from many different sources.

How to choose the right wedding photographer By SARAH L. GREENHALGH Democrat Staff Writer It’s your wedding and you want everything to be picture perfect. A friend graciously offers his photography services as a wedding present. When he shows you the prints, the photographs are not at all what you thought they would he — that magic day is lost, never to he captured on film. Choosing a photographer is not an easy task. Couples often underestimate the worth and overestimate the expense of professional wedding photographers. This special day requires the expertise, dedication, experience and the creativity of a trained professional. This is their job. They know weddings. Cost varies according to location and the services requested. “Package” deals can he arranged to suit a couples desires and wedding budget. Here are some things to consider when making your choice: • Find out exactly what is included in the wedding package. • Is there an extra charge for proofs? • How long are the negatives kept? • Is the finished album included in the price quoted? • When you book, get an itemized agreement that lists everything included in the package and total cost. • Does the photographer carry ex fra cameras in case ot equipment failure.7 • Di>es the photographer use medium format cameras (I'A, 6X7) or 35mm.’ • How long has the photographer been shooting weddings? • Some photographers use assistants. Make sure you look at an assistant’s work so you know what you are getting. Photographer shopping should be done early — at least six to 12 months beforehand. Look at friends’ and relatives' wedding albums, consult the yellow pages and visit prospective photographers in their studio. There are organizations out there called Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and Wedding Photographers International (WPI) — these are not regulatory and membership to these organizations does not represent the competence or quality of the photographer’s work. Qualified photographers, whether members of these organizations or not, will he happy to show their work and answer questions without obligation. Even if you don’t know anything about photography, you probably know what is pleasing to your eye. Their portfolios should he what you base your final decision on. Tony Christiana of Christiana Studios in Catlett knows weddings. With over 25 years’ experience and at least 70 weddings a year, Chris Photo Courtesy of Swann/Niemann When choosing, look for creativity and experience. tiana has the wedding and reception down pat. He explains to clients when they come in why they should go with a professional. “Generally when a client comes in they have already decided to use a professional, which I think is really smart, not because I’m a professional hut because 1 don’t think a week goes by that I don’t hear a wedding horror story about how some couple got a friend, press photographer or someone who doesn’t normally shoot weddings and ended up with no pictures or none of the right people,” said Christiana. At Christiana Studios they have a wedding game plan. As the wed ding date approaches, a consultation is in order. First they sit down with the couple a -veek before and discuss the wedding or “walk through it,” with the couple. “Walking through it is a way to alleviate a lot of stress if I know what’s going on. We ask them who wants shots of who or who they don’t like. People do very interesting things at their weddings. They have people get up and sing or recite stuff. I don’t like surprises. I don’t want to he in the wrong place when something important is happening. That is why We want to know everything that it is going on,” said Christiana. Candid shots are always nice. They are unsuspected and somewhat humorous. However, you can’t fill an entire album with them. There are certain photographs that should be included, group shots in particular. “When we do a wedding, we ask the bride and groom tor their undivided attention tor small periods of time twice during the day. We ask for an hour before the ceremony so we can get a lot of shots out of the way. We then ask for 15 to 20 minutes right after the ceremony —other than that they are on their own. We have got to have those times to shoot. Generally there is a list of groups that, if you don’t get them at that time, you won’t get the prints after the reception starts,” said Christiana. He added, “Most photographers do that now. If they don’t, you should make them do it. It is too risky to say, ‘I’ll catch it later at the reception’; a lot can happen at a reception. We try to tell a story rather than just shoot a lot of unrelated pictures. We start an hour before the ceremony and basically stay until the reception is over so we get a real good cross section of the whole event," said Christiana. One question you should ask when you are interviewing photographers is what kind of equipment they use. Medium format cameras are a must for two main reasons.

Honeymooners of 1989: bound for sun and surf By SARAH L. GREENHALGH Democrat Staff Writer Visits to see Mickey Mouse in Orlando, trips to Mexico or hikes to the Poconos seem to he honeymoon hot spots tor 1989. “Walt Disney World is just nonstop,” said Ted Mello of Panorama Travel agency. “It’s amazing, the proportion of people who are coming in February and March tor Disney. Honeymooners have been doing a combination thing. They have been going on cruises and coming back through Disney World. It seems a little crazy, but it is a huge, huge destination,” said Mellow. Cancun, Mexico, is another southern hot spot. Part of Mexico’s allure is the hot, soothing weather that is present all year-round. Even though Hurricane Gilbert wreaked havoc on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico is still getting the crowds. “Mexico is definitely a hot spot, Cancun especially. It is a really heavily-traveled destination. They got blasted pretty well by the hurricane, but it appears that they have gotten things under control down there," said Mello. For the budget honeymooner, staying in the States or going on a cruise might be the answer. “Of course the whole venture is going to depend on people’s budgets and what they can afford. If Mom and Dad are paying for it, then a cruise looks great. But if the couple is paying for it, then the Poconos is Democrat Staff Photo/Sarah L Greenhalgh The allure of blue water and warm breezes makes Cancun, Mexico one of the honeymoon hot spots for 1989. probably a better deal. It is all relative to the budget. The Poconos is doing a booming business right now. I think both the Poconos and Disney are probably most popular,” said Mello. For the money, the Poconos are a bargain. The Pocono region encompasses 2,400 square miles, spanning four counties. Filled with state forests, rolling hills and some 200 lakes, it is perfect for couples. The hotels range from rustic bedand-breakfast inns to the more lavish. Multi-leveled penthouses with heart-shaped beds and sunken baths are not uncommon in the region. Mello says, “The Poconos are still relatively inexpensive when you consider what they give you — the room, meals included and things of that nature. The people can drive to it, so it still can be a pretty economical honeymoon. And of course, the Poconos are very much geared to the honeymoon couple.” But cruises aren’t to he left out of possible honey moon spots. “It is surprising. A lot of people think cruises are outrageously priced, but when you get a line like Carnival Cruise Lines they have three- and four-day cruises that work out as well for honeymooners as well the sevenday cruises,” said Mello. Choosing the cruise should he done very carefully. Research the brochures to make sure that everything really is included. Cruise options grow wider every year. In 1989 there were 25 cruise lines and 55 ships touring just the Caribbean. Compute the cost. You may find that the average $160 to $220 is less than what you would pay for transportation plus the same kind of luxury on land. “You can start on a four-day cruise for about $790 per person, and that is in the high season — it gets lower. That includes a round-trip airfare, all your meals and includes entertainment on board," said Mello. He added, “Even the seven-day cruises aren’t unrealistic; they start about $1,200 per person mid-season. For abo**.$2,500 or $2,600 dollars it pretty much pays for everything. The beauty about these things is the couple knows what they are getting ahead of time.” 1 The honeymoon really should be the reward after all the time and effort you put into the wedding. A complicated honeymoon could lead to friction between partners. "The big emphasis I push for with the honeymoon couples is with the cruise and the all-inclusive club packages; after they have spent the last 15 days or so working like dogs putting together the wedding — be tween that and the relatives coming to town and such, they don't need to worry about going someplace and wonder where they are going to eat and what they are going to do. On a cruise, all of that is taken care of. They are waited on hand and foot. There is not a lot of thought about how much this and that is going to cost. It is all taken care of,” said Mello. All-inclusive clubs are perfect for the honeymooner. You know in advance what is included and how much it costs. All you have to do is sit back and relax. The majority of the 1989 honeymooners are voting for sun and surf rather than ski trips in the States or a visit to Europe. “Europe and skiing aren’t that big on the honeymooners’ list. I don’t think they have the appeal that some of these other places have. Besides, it would kind of be a drag to break your leg skiing on your honeymoon,” said Mello. Wherever you decide to go, the trip should be finalized at least four months beforehand so as to get the best deal.

Heirloom gowns: protecting your investment By MARY JANE SOLOMON Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer Time had not been kind to the Alencon lace-embellished wedding gown. In the nine years since the bride put it away — still bearing unnoticed soil accumulated during the ceremony and reception — the dress had developed new “decorations”: big, black stains across the white floral designs. The blotched garment is a typical example of the challenges routinely faced by Steven Saidman, president of Imperial Gown Preservation, a Fairfax County-based company that dry-cleans and preserves wedding dresses from across the country. “Bridal gown preservation is important, because without preserving the gown, you will absolutely end up with ... a valuable — and sentimentally valuable — item that is ruined,” Saidman says. “It will oxidize and turn yellow with age and may bear permanent stains if not cared for properly." Modem technology enables cleaners to remove many discolorations, even old champagne spills such as the ones that nearly ruined the nine-year-old gown’s Alencon lace. That dress now hangs, stain-free, in Saidman’s store’s front window. But to ensure a gown’s appearance for generations to come, a bride should have the garment treated as soon after the wedding as possible. “By planning to invest it as part of your bridal budget, then it’s money you don’t have to worry about finding after the wedding,” Saidman says. The cost of cleaning and preservation, which varies according to types of fabric and amount of ornamentation, but can cost hundreds of dollars. “Don’t let it wait ’til the honeymoon’s over,” Polly Willman, conservator of costumes at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, says of the necessary treatment, especially if the dress has spills on it. She recommends delegating the task to a maid of honor or mother. Imperial Gown Preservation customers can ship their gowns, in complete packaging provided by the company, to the cleaners for free appraisals at no obligation. Each gown the company treats is hand-cleaned, then machinecleaned individually to remove chemicals used to treat stains. Each clean garment is then shaped with acid-free tissue or muslin and sealed into an acid-free, airtight box, Saidman says. Gowns are stuffed with acid-tree tissue or muslin to help retain the garments’ shapes. A gown is not preserved simply by being cleaned or sealed in a box. The gown must be thoroughly cleaned before it is sealed; otherwise, stains such as perspiration which may not be readily visible right after the wedding may show up a few years later, Saidman says. The box must be airtight and acid-free to prevent the dress from yellowing with age. “Yoji want it in a box so that you have a physical barrier from things like dust, and hopefully bugs; it’s a physical barrier to light,” Willman says. The box should he big enough so , the gown is not folded up and packed too tightly. “Folding can lead to creases and creases can cause the fibers to break along the creases,” she says. Folds should be rounded with the acid-free tissue. If a gown is going to be hung for storage, the hanger should be heavily padded and the cover on the dress should be a plain white cotton bag. Hanging is a less preferable means of storage because of gravity’s pull and weight, she says. “Plastic bags are generally not acceptable for storage because they’ll trap moisture,” and do not create a barrier from light. “Light is the biggest problem. Light is one of the things we work the hardest to control, and where we see the most damage re^tft from when we receive objects and we treat objects,” says Willman, who is at work inspecting the museum’s collection of first ladies’ gowns for necessary repairs. The dresses, when on exhibit, are displayed behind glass in a dimly lit room. Light, in addition to causing obvious color change and fading over time, also damages a fiber’s chemical structure, Willman says. Some unpreserved fabrics age better than others, Willman and Saidman say. Generally, synthetics are more resistant to environmental hazards than natural fibers because they are inert, don’t react to humidity changes and are not as subject to light damage, Willman says of fabrics which hold up best. 1 ighter-weave fabrics support themselves better than loosely-woven materials, she says, and silk is the strongest natural fiber. “We have 18th-century silk fabrics that have done wonderfully well,” Willman says. Nineteenthcentury silks, however, were often treated with a finish called ‘weighting’ to add body to the fibers. Some of the material now reacts with atmospheric pollutants that cause the fabric to shred as though clawed by a cat, she says. Unpreserved laces hold up the worst of any bridal gown materials, Saidman says, because they become dry and fall apart. Satin tends to last well unpreserved, he says, but silk taffetas ages poorly, and chiffons fall apart. “Silk tulle does not hold up very well, often because there's a lot of sizing agent that’s put on it and it oxidizes; the whole thing just crumbles away,” Willman says. “You get problems with the finishes put on fabrics; whether a fabric's dyed or not can contribute to its degradation,” Willman says. “My all-time least favorite fabric is black silk tulle, because the black dye is also usually a detriment as well,” she says, citing an iron component in the dye that erodes the material. She has seen cotton prints in which the pattern is literally cut away, stencil-fashion, wherever the black dye originally appeared. Ornamentation on the fabric can also jeopardize the fibers, Willman says. Heavy embroidery on a lightweight fabric can pull at the material and cause it to wear away. “Beads will change color if not preserved properly,” Saidman says. “They generally turn black and start to run all over the fabric.” “Anytime you’ve got more variation in the materials you do complicate the care, because what the pearls will need to protect them may not be what the fabric needs to protect it,” Willman says. She cites a problem with a dress that belonged to Eleanor Roosevelt. The pearls are shedding their iridescent coating and creating a yellowing halo wherever the tiny ornaments are sewn onto the dress. “It’s physically a different composition, and you go to store it or you go to clean it, and you’re going to have problems,” she says. The average gown presented to Imperial for treatment is between two and five years old, Saidman says, and the company preserves many gowns of the 30-year variety because 40 to 45 percent of the brides that contact Imperial want their mothers’ gowns preserved. A bride who wishes to wear an heirloom gown should don significant undergarments to create a barrier between herself and the dress, Willman says. She also suggests “the precaution that she should not be as active in her motions as she ordinarily might be in her everyday clothes” because the older fabric will be more vulnerable to stress. A bride should try the dress on as few times as possible, and should be alert for any tearing sounds that might occur during fittings, she says. Willman knows of many cases where brides wear fragile heirloom gowns during the ceremonies and other outfits during the receptions. Sometimes older gowns, made for a different figure ideal, do not fit contemporary brides, Willman says. “If the dress is considered of value, an heirloom dress, they need to be aware that any alteration they do to it is going to lessen its value,” Willman says. Alterations should be avoided; if they must be done, they should be completed by a knowledgeable seamstress and should not cut away any of the original gown, she suggests. Saidman says a seamstress for his company sometimes remakes gowns, using authentic vintage materials obtained from a New York business. A current task, he says, is to replace the lace on a 39-year-old gown. “The satin lasted . . . beautifully, and the lace crumbled,” he says. He points out another dress, hanging in the front of the store, on which the top has been remade with lace that matches the original skirt to which it is attached. The gown is being readied for the bride’s daughter. “Previously the bodice was completely disintegrated from the acid of her mother’s perspiration from this gown having never been cleaned,” he says. A bride’s “glow” contains acid that wears away the fabric over the years. Willman recommends wearing disposable perspiration pads to avoid stains. Dry-cleaning also can help remove perfumes, lotions and powders, she says. “Perspiration on the silk gowns is Photo Courtesy of Swann/Niemann Gown preservation should start right after the reception. just deadly," she says. Where a gown is stored is also an important factor in its preservation. “This gown is only seven years old,” Saidman says, pulling from a hag a much-embellished gown now also adorned with large black and yellow stains across the skirt. Stored in a basement, the dress became damaged by a flood. The gown will he bathed in a special bridal gown bleach, then the ru ined lace along the hem will he replaced, Saidman says of the planned restoration work. The best place to store the preserved gown is in the living area of the home, not an attic or basement, Saidman recommends. “Under the bed is the very best place,” he says. “But a closet’s okay, as long as it's a cool, dry closet, not one with a lot of heat and humidity. Heat and humidity are the worst enemies of your bridal gown. ” ► CounseC From Page 4 When a young couple first experiences the ups and downs of married life, the in-laws are often right there with them, for better or worse. In the ideal situation, you will both he accepted as yourselves — nothing more, nothing less — and given adequate distance to breathe. Issues you might want to explore with your spouse-to-be include that of sidetaking in family arguments involving in-laws, spending holidays with them, whether or not to allow in-laws to dictate child-rearing policy, career strategy and so on. Remember, you shouldn’t have to dedicate your lives to pleasing your in-laws to have a successful marriage. But those extra four or more peo-. pie who have your best interests at heart can also be your best support systems in times of crisis. Care must be taken to establish a loving, working relationship with them from the start. •LIFESTYLES. Everything from the way you put the toilet paper on the roll, to how you argue, is a habit ingrained in you from childhood. Your way of doing things will come up against your spouse’s way in the most trivial of concerns, and the best thing to do is to set down new guidelines early on that enable you to say “We now do it ‘our’ way.” Topics to discuss include sleep habits, time clocks (expect a lot ot adjustment here it you’re a night person and he or she is early to bed, early to rise), chore allocation, mealtime and menus, shopping lists (shopping together can both help and hurt when differences occur about what to buy), bringing work home and doing things together. Time together must be consciously budgeted into every modem marriage for it to survive. One last item on the discussion agenda should be the rules of argument. These will evolve as largely unspoken rules as time goes by, but remember to speak up if your prospective mate occasionally fights “dirty"! Avoiding a discussion about something that bothers you or just plain being catty are examples of behavior you might want to curtail before things gets out of hand. Too, never go to bed angry, and try not to hold grudges too long. Call “time out” as often as necessary. Discuss, discuss, discuss and then follow up with compromise, compromise, compromise. After a few months of marriage, the advance planning you’ve done together will begin to pay off. Remember, you have common goals and a lot of time before you. Most of all, accept the challenge and have fun.

Today’s brides: ultimateCy feminine^ romantic By LISA LEBOWITZ Copley News Service It there was ever any doubt that weddings are romantic, those doubts were put to rest with the debut of this year's gowns. “Wedding gowns today are more romantic than ever before,” says Bride’s magazine editor-in-chief Barbara Tober. “I think the most important thing to remember is that they’re very, very feminine.” This season's silhouettes are simpler and more elegant than a year ago. Whereas last year the skirts of many bridal gowns cascaded with lace and overflowed with pearls, this year skirts are simplified. “Many of the skirts are totally plain without any embellishments at all,” explains Holly McMunn, director of public relations for Bridal Originals. “In fact, trains and skirts have unadorned fabric with just a touch of lace. The emphasis has really gone to the bodice of the gown,” said McMunn. Look for lavish hand beading and the use of appliques on both the front and back. Or, hand beading appears on sheer lace that covers flesh-tone organza, creating the illusion of a show-through look. Some gowns appear lingerieinspired, mixing lace and embroidery for a feel borrowed from intimate apparel. Necklines receive new emphasis, and this year, there are innovative alternatives to traditional high-neck styling. The portrait collars, capelets, fichus and scarf-tied looks that appear in ready-to-wear also influence bridal clothes. “Also important this season are wonderful decolletage — off-theshoulder — looks,” says Tober, “and unusual necklines that billow into sheer bishop sleeves. ” When shoulders are bared, look for bows or fabric rosettes that draw attention to the shoulders. There also is significant back interest this season: keyhole cutduts, V-designs filled in with pearls and ruffled bustles keep eyes trained on the bride as she glides down the aisle. Peplums are another point of interest — they’re more prominent and architectural than they have been the last few seasons. Waistlines are slightly higher, and in more fashion-forward gowns may even be empire. “The sheath is another gown shape that’s enjoying a resurgence,” adds McMunn. And if skirts are full at the hip, they may be pegged at the ankle, creating a dome shape that looks fresh now. Another strong trend this year is the use of color in bridal gowns. Blush pink and icy gray-blue show up in trims and overskirts, providing options to the classic ecru,- ivory and white. The traditional fabrics are still popular — silks, satins, taffetas — but they are joined by fluid fabrics such as chiffon and georgette, and iridescent fibers that create a frosted look. Bridesmaids, too, are more colorful and florid than before. This is the year of the cabbage rose. While the silhouette of bridesmaid dresses, like bridal gowns, is simpler, more ladylike, the fabrics burst into bloom with floral chintzes. Tulips and daises also appear, as do polka dots. Off-the-shoulder looks, ornamented with a simple ruffle at the neckline or a bow at the waist complete the English country feel. As in ready-to-wear, the more classic single-or duo-tone attendant dresses are brighter than last year. Pastels are punched up. Look for brighter colors, such as mint and lemon ice, orchid, coral, turquoise blue and jade green. These brighter growns may have mini-ruffles on the skirt that create a tiered effect or an insert of matching lace on the bodice or at the bustline to enhance the design. While the floral bridesmaids' gowns frequently are cotton or silk this year, the single-color dresses appear in classic taffeta and satin. And what about the mother of the bride? “They’re in better shape and looking younger than ever,” comments Tober. “We love to see them in chiffon dresses and beautiful, floating evening looks.” The perfect dress for the mother of the bride is one that reflects her personality. And there currently are many flattering options in late-day and evening silhouettes. “What they want to avoid are dresses that look mousey and don’t have the presence of glamour,” adds Tober. If you can’t find a look that suits you in the stores, join the 38 percent of brides who either sew or have their gowns made each year. And as patterns become more sophisticated, that means up-to-theminute styles are available in pattern books the same season they appear in the stores. As in store-bought gowns, says Cindy Rose, fashion director for Vogue/Butterick, this year’s bridal patterns reflect a new interest in the neckline. “Vogue and Butterick feature bare-shoulder looks, sweetheart necklines and big bow detailing with bows at the shoulders and at the waist,” said Rose. Also new from Butterick, look for fitted gowns that hug the body to the knee and then flare out at the bottom. Sewing allows you to choose sequined lace or re-embroidered white lace that uses pale pink in the trim. “Another way to use pink — a very important color this year,” says Rose, “is as an underlining, topped by sheer white or ecru. ” The headpiece a bride chooses should suit her taste, personality and hairstyle. Sewing offers great flexibility, not to mention a great price break for the bride’s headpiece and veil. “This year, women are choosing single-, double-and triple-layer veils in a variety of lengths,” says Rose. She added, “Silk fabric flowers and dried flowers are very important, as are sequin appliques.” And as more women move away from traditional wreaths to more free-form veils, look for bows and layers of tulle. The wedding trends of 1989: innovative, modem, personal By ALISON ASHTON Copley News Service “Today’s weddings do seek out the best and most beautiful traditions of the past — in contrast to a few years ago when anything old was automatically suspect," says Barbara Tober, editor-in-chief of Bride’s magazine. “But, at the same time," she added, “they’re very, very modem in that they express new ideals.” And so today’s thoroughly modem couples do everything they can to make their wedding celebrations memorable and personal. Here are just some of the many popular nuptial fetes to consider: The weekend wedding. Few brides marry the boy next door anymore, and it’s not unusual for a bride to come from San Francisco and a groom from St. Louis. This type of wedding features dinners, brunches, barbecues, special events in addition to the traditional ceremony and reception, giving the couple plenty of opportunity to visit with out-of-town relatives and friends. “The focal point of these weddings is no longer the wedding night,” saysTober. “Instead it is the joining together of two families, an intensive experience that may be teamed up with an anniversary, a birthday party or other family celebration,” she explained. The progressive wedding. Like the weekend wedding, this allows the couple to see everyone, except that the couple goes to the guests. A couple might have a party in their honor in the city where they both work, head to the bride’s hometown for a small ceremony, then throw a reception where the groom's parents live. The honeymoon wedding. The couple selects an exotic or idyllic setting — a Hawaiian island or the South of France, let’s say — and invites close friends and family along for the fun. Tober calls this a twist on the old-style elopement: “the bridal couple packs their suitcases and ‘elopes’ — not to the local justice of the peace, hut to a favorite exotic destination — to exchange their vows. ’’ Wedding on the water. The setting can he as sophisticated and Gatsby-esque as a yacht or a sweetly romantic celebration on a country lake. Or simply plan your wedding for a summer evening, rent a boat and cruise along the city’s shore, using the sparkling lights as a dramatic backdrop. An historic wedding. Have you always envisioned yourself as a prin cess bride from days of yore or as the ideal Gibson Girl? Pick a period you love — Renaissance, Edwardian, Art Deco — and plan your wedding fashion and decor around it. A special setting. Always loved the courtyard at the local museum? Do a little investigating and you might be able to get married there. Call your local chamber of commerce to find out about the historic homes, monuments and parks where you can exchange your vows memorably. The super party wedding. Plan an all-nighter of festivities that your guests will never forget. Provide entertainment, dancing and food until dawn. Then serve a wonderful breakfast the following morning. The reaffirmation ceremony. More and more committed couples are saying, “Once is not enough!" Being married a long time is a milestone worthy of celebration. Tober says that reaffirmation ceremonies usually take place on a special occasion, after the birth of a child, as part of a son’s or daughter’s wedding or to celebrate the 10th, 25th or 50th anniversary. ►Photo From Page 6 negatives are larger, use better quality film and they lend themselves to impressive enlargements. Secondly, the cameras themselves are not easy to operate; it takes a trained professional, so you should be able to know that the photographer you pick has experience. Lighting should be your next question. If you are using candlelight or your wedding site is not well- lit, then the photographer you have chosen had better know how to compensate. “It’s our problem to correct bad lighting, and a lot of times when couples hire people that aren’t professionals, they' may he a good photographer but not in the wedding business; they don’t come prepared for that,” said Christiana. Remember — your wedding photographs are going to be an investment in wonderful memories that you will cherish every time you look through your album — so don’t skimp on professional quality.

Sexy, lacy trousseau fashions are back in styCe Lounge lovelies are a big item in the Photo Courtesy of Swann/Niemann trousseau. By DEBRACOOPER Copley News Service The bridal trousseau is hack. Years ago, it included all the personal possessions a new bride brought to the marriage — a year’s wardrobe, all ot her accessories, linens and housewares. Her father supplied it as part of her dowry. Today, the trousseau is usually the bride’s honeymoon wardrobe, primarily the clothes that make her feel especially beautiful: silky smooth, lacy, libido-unleashing sleepwear. The trousseau is also her linens and those bed and bath accessories that are most conducive to romance. Lounge Covefies The Hollywood vamp of the ’30s has returned to the fashion scene — especially in the lingerie and lounge wear department. The queens of the silver screen —Harlow, Lombard, Dietrich, to name a few — have inspired a new wave of slinky, sexy, ultra-feminine designs made of soft, shimmery fabrics that drape beautifully and make any figure fabulous. The good news is that these retro lovelies are easy to care for. Many are made of lustrous nylons that imitate silk and satin in every way except how they’re washed. They’re not only easy to care for (a quick swish in sudsy water, then you hang them to dry), they’re wrinkle resistant. Fashions in the new nylons range from dramatic palazzo pants to sumptuous floor-length gowns with, rich theater folds that look as though they're made tor dancing. Peignoir sets are elegant, baby dolls seductive and teddies lavished with lace. Overall, the feeling is pure opulence and sybaritic luxury, designed to turn even hard-bitten businesswomen into purring kittens in the privacy of their own boudoirs. Luxurious detailing is everywhere. Antique lace adorns necklines, full sleeves drip with cascading ruffles, bodices are richly embroidered. Trims are lattice work, applique, beaded — and include glittery rhinestones and c 1 iR?#n flowers. Delicate, rippled, pleated, ruffled and feathered edgings lend a feeling of motion. Unusual collar, neckline and sleeve details echo fashion trends of bygone eras. You’ll want to vary your look depending on your mood. A full-length gown in white or pale pastel is subtly sexy, perfect for your opening night. As your honeymoon progresses, go with a more daring look — perhaps a camisole top with tap pants or a gown with a plunging neckline and provocative slit. . If you’re traveling in a cold climate, bring along a lovely snuggly robe of quilted satin and demure lace-trimmed pajamas tor comfortable lounging. For him Treat him to a pair of silk charmeuse boxer shorts — they’re so luxuriously comfortable, you may find yourself borrowing them I You’ll also want to wrap him in a warm velvet (or velour) bathrobe and present him with a pair of furlined leather slippers. Scentuals “Smelf is linked to sensuality,” says Judith Jackson, author of “Scentual Touch,” (Fawcett Columbine). “It goes directly to the hypothalamus, which causes the pituitary gland to send a message to sexual hormones, saying, ‘Let’s go!'” Chances are, you and your fiance feel passionately attracted to each other’s scent. If you don’t have your own signature scent, now’s the time to find one. Select one that describes you best: passionate, feminine, daring, romantic, playful and more. The best way to find the scents that appeal to each of you is to visit your local department store and go on a sniffing spree. You may want to wear the fragrances for several hours before making your final decision, or buy several ones for different moods and occasions. “The Best Weddings Have Our Personal Touch” We provide: • Punch Bowls • Champagne Fountains • Chafing Dishes • Party Tents • Canopies • Dance Floors • Bridal Arches • Candelabras • Tables • Chairs • Linens • Skirting • China • Glassware • Silverware • Coffee Urns • We carry a large selection of wedding, anniversary' and shower paper goods.

Keeping that wedding guest under control By MUPHEN WHITNEY Democrat Special Writer Being a bride is a fairly easy task. After all, all you have to do is open ltny bi|>ok on etiquette — or any magazine that specializes in brides and weddings — and your every move is all chronicled for you. Things are not quite so simple for the guest, however. One would think that attending a wedding — and all the other festivities that go along with a wedding — would be reasonably simple. * The problem is that people have made it too simple of late. Many of the niceties of being a guest have gone the way of other of life’s former gixxl manners. Rut the worst thing about not trotting out the manners at wedding time is that a guest with bad — or no — manners can spoil that one great, glorious day in a bride’s life. So here are some guidelines that should make this season’s coming weddings more enjoyable for guest and bride alike. A guest’s obligation begins when he first gets word of the upcoming nuptials. You congratulate the groom-tobe*— after all, look at the great catch he made — and you offer your best wishes to the bride-to-be. It would be the worst manners in the world to congratulate the brideto-be: she is not the one who made the catch, but rather was caught. (At least, that is what all polite people believe in public.) It is polite to offer your assist,ince at this time. It is not polite to ask to be in the wedding party or to insist that you will sing or play an instrument at the wedding, or that you will bring your favorite pate to the reception. Shortly after the announcement of the engagement, a round of festivities will begin that will last until the couple are waved off on their honeymoon. Usually these festivities take the form of a bridal shower. If you are a good friend of the bride or a close associate at work, you may be the hostess at a shower in her honor. Family members should never host a shower, but they can open up their home and offer it or the place for the shower to be held. The shower can be a surprise or not. Most brides seem to prefer that it not be a surprise. There are enough surprises in the bride’s life at this point and with all the activities going on it is too easy for plans to go awry. If you are hosting a shower, it is nice to give guests some guidance on gifts by having a shower with a general theme — e.g., a kitchen shower, a lingerie shower, etc. — but DON’T accompany the shower invitation with a list of high-priced gifts and specify that a guest MUST bring one of these. When you receive an invitation to a shower you should — as with any social invitation — respond im mediately. Even the most casual shower requires planning and it is difficult for the hostess to plan if she has no idea how many people are going to appear on party day. After the shower, don't forget that you have attended a party. Therefore, write a short note of thanks to the hostess. At the very least call the hostess within a day or two and let her know what a nice time you had. By now the invitation to the wedding has undoubtedly arrived. The response situation regarding an invitation to a wedding is even more serious than the response to a shower. The notation RSVP in the corner of the invitation should be taken seriously on any invitation, but especially on a wedding invitation. There are few social occasions that demand as much time, effort and planning as does a wedding and one of the most crucial elements in the planning is knowing how many guests need to be accommodated. RSVP is an abbreviation for the French phrase “repondez s’il vous plait" which translates literally as “respond if you please” or, more idiomatically, as “please respond.” Unfortunately, too many people take this request literally and only respond if they please. It’s a shame that the French were so polite in their phrasing; they should have been a bit more forceful. Something along the lines of “Respond in a timely fashion or you face death and dismemberment" would have done just tine. Your response to the wedding invitation should he in the mail within a week of your having received the invitation. It should he a written response following the form in which the invitation was issued. There are some additional points to take note of regarding the invitation. First of all, only the person to whom the invitation is addressed is included in the invitation. A wedding is not a “date” and no escort is required. Don’t drag someone along who has not been specifically invited. AND DON’T BRING CHILDREN TO A WEDDING OR TO THE RECEPTION UNLESS THEY HAVE RECEIVED AN INVITATION OF THEIR OWN. If you can’t attend, but someone in your family would like to represent the family, mention this in your response. “I’m so sorry that I will be out of town on that date, but my mother will be here. She remembers your week-end visits from college days so fondly ... ”, or words to that effect should do it. Similarly an announcement of the wedding — sent after the wedding has taken place — also does not require a gift, but an acknowledgment in the form of a card or note should be sent. And certainly a gift may always be sent, if you choose, in either of these situations. But no one should ever show up at a wedding in an outfit that is all black, all red, or all white. These colors are simply taboo at weddings. Arrive early at the church and be seated — don’t stand out in the foyer gabbing with friends. Early arrivals are entitled to the aisle seats, and they need not move for those who arrive later. After the ceremony is over, move on. This is another time not to hang around chatting. Be polite to all other guests from both sides of the family. You must go through the receiving line, but don’t hold it up. A perlite word is allfhat is necessary. And NO KISSING, unless you are kissed first. If you have brought a camera to the reception, it is permissible to take some candid shots if you are totally unobtrusive about it. DON’T be the last person to leave the reception, and make sure that you are sober when you leave. If you are not sober, call a cab or a friend to come and get you. It is a nice gesture to write to the hosts of the reception — usually the bride’s parents, but sometimes the bride and groom themselves — and say "thank you" and tell them what a nice time you had. If you behave well as a guest at all of this season’s weddings, maybe good etiquette will catch on. Then just think how nice all the guests will be at your wedding!

Hard-to-fit brides: getting special dresses made By MARY JANE SOLOMON Arcom Newspapers Writer A young woman, engaged to be married, scans the pages of a new bridal magazine, searching for the dress of her dreams. Suddenly, she sees it: a top-ot-the-wedding-cake gown with a bodice drenched in Alencon lace and seed pearls, a skirt dripping with tiers of ruffles. If the bride-to-be is a perfect size 8, taller than 5 feet 5 inches, the dress may indeed be the ideal look tor her special day. But it she happens to be a 4-foot-d-mch, size 3, °r a robust size 22, she probably needs to reconsider her choice of styles. “Today’s companies, thank goodness, have come to realize that there are hard-ro-tit brides," savs Helen Here, owner ot the Southern Belle bridal shop in Leesburg. "Years ago, vou could hardly get a dress that was larger than a size 20." Now. brides-to-be tinJ some selection in halt-sizes ansi larger, sometimes in styles specially designed to flatter heavier figures Some dresses n. yy some in 'ires as large as 44. Here says, where a few years ago. her 'seamstresses had to design goyv: ' ; r the dittieulr-to-tit i ides The full figure “is definitely having .i focus in file industry. -ays k. kirby \X ecd. own.ei of l.e Reve bridal shop in Leesburg T hat trend extends to the fashion industry .s a whole, and s, tne companies are gearing their entire lines ro tul I-figured ■aomen, 'he says. Likewise, sinne manutaeturer' are creating gowns specif: ically tor petite brides. Frequently, though, women picture themselves in file sty le' draped on perfect bodies in magazine advertisements. "Some ot the dresses vou see in these magazines are so w ild, and they 're never, ever made tor any bride," Weed savs as she Icats through a bridal magazine. “The picture vou see is the only gown ever produced." “It their hearts are set on a dress they see on one of these model figures, you have to help them see where that style would not flatter them,” Hyre says. A 4-tix>t-l 1-inch woman will look 3 feet tall in tiers ot ruffles, she advises. But Hyre suggests that hard-to-fit women try on their dream styles, no matter how inappropriate they may look. “When she sees herself in it, she doesn’t want it,” she says. A tiara-type headpiece makes a bride appear taller, as do vertical lines and the absence of ruffles, Hyre recommends. “A petite girl you can overwhelm much more than a larger person with a lot ot ruffles and huge sleeves," Weed says. Large, puffy sleeves create an undesirable horizontal plane, she says. She suggests headpiece poufs to add height. “1 like to see something that has a fitted waist, with fullness from the waist, because it gives her a little bit more ot a hip,” Betty Marszalec, owner ot Scruples bridal shop in Vienna, says tit a good style tor the small bride. “The severe drops, I think, are just too severe tor them." A super low drop-waistline dwarfs a short girl through the legs, she says, and a lot ot detail in the back, such as bows, detracts from the small bride’s figure. Hvre suggests thaj small, thin brides wear padded brassieres rather than hav ing the dress's bustline -taken in. an alteration that accentuates a flat look. In general, however, voting women today are bustier than women in the past, Hvre savs, and dress manufacturers are cutting necklines "very, very low." In the Loudoun area,.she savs. most wor.len prefer to have some ot the neckline tilled in to hide 'I 'tile civ.iv age On ac tv ter brides “surprising'! v, a hoop hides a lot," Hvre '•IV'. "1 li 'rv to encourage them it thev've got a lot ot hip. a lot ot tannv. a lot ot minim , to put one on, because from the waist then, ir.o mcsout like a bell. ' • "1 also suggest a good foundation garment" that extends to the waist tor a smooth look, she savs. “because vour fabrics are not that thick that \ou can’t tell where the hra cuts across the back it vuu’ve got anv bulges at alL” VC eed savs she worked with a couple ot brides who ordered gowns in the largest available size, to which Weed added panels to make the dresses look like they were made tor the brides’ sizes. “Simple, clean lines, not a lot ot ruffles, not a lot of exterior pouf’ are features Weed recommends for the large-size bride. Open necks draw lines down, creating a vertical illusion that makes a person looks taller and slimmer, she suggests. A slight drop at the waist and a fitted sleeve with a little puff at the shoulder are gottd accents for large-size gowns, Marszalec says. “The simpler, 1 think, for the large girl, the better, because I think it slenderizes her, gives her height.” V-necklines are good because they break up the gown’s top, she suggests, and a modified sahnna neckline can modify a heavy hustline. Tall, well-proportioned brides can wear almost anything, Marzalec says. H /re says she. fitted a bride as tall as 6 feet 2 inches, tor whom wide lace added to the gown's hem created the correct length. It the tall bride orders tar in advance of the wedding, Hvre says, some styles are available with extra length. Many companies require exact measurements it the dress features heavy headwork on the skirt. Here, '.ns the. largest size 'he has fitted, is a 42, and the smallest, a size ? which had to be taken down two additional sizes. The petite bride, whose waist measured approximately 1 i inches, wore a tea-length gown with a ruffled, otf-the-shoulder neckline and a peaked want, ''he accented the gown with el bow-length gln\e-. il\rc',us.

Why? Because it retracts light better than other shapes and thus is more brilliant. Next in popularity are the marquise diamond (elliptical with pointed ends) and the pear-shape style.

Prenuptiats: to contract or not to contract By MICHELLE STl DEBAKER Arcom Newspapers Writer Once wives were purchased, paid tor with dowries which, along with the new bride, became the husband's property. Dowries eventually became as archaic as hoop skirts, but until very recently, many women assumed that marriage meant communal ownership of the assets they contributed. Now, as women become more financially independent and the number of second and third marriages increases, many couples are searching for ways to avoid the traditional mingling of assets expected with marriage. They often seek legal counsel, and opt for the increasingly common premarital agreement. Michael Hobert, a Clarke County lawyer who has helped couples create premarital contracts, feels that, although there are valid reasons for initiating such an agreement, many couples are uncomfortable with the idea. “A lot of people feel it’s like admitting defeat before you’ve even tried to make the marriage work,” Hobert says. “But the agreements don’t deal exclusively with divorce circumstances. They also protect individual assets in the case of deaths.” Julia Savage, who practices family law in Warrenton, » agrees. “Some feel the contract implies a hesitancy of one of the partners about the marriage. But premarital agreements are necessary for more than divorce,” she says. Hobert says that, although typically unnecessary for a first marriage, the contracts are often engaged when children from a prior marriage are involved. “That’s probably the most common situation we see," he explains. In that case, the contract usually specifies certain assets, monetary or proprietary, which cannot be reached by the new spouse on the dissolution of the marriage, by divorce or death. A spouse may claim a percentage of the deceased partner’s estate, Hobert says, even if it is not specified in the will. Parents in second marriages will specify exactly what cannot be inherited by the new spouse. Savage adds, “. . . - A premarital contract can be particularly important in the unfortunate case of the simultaneous death of both spouses. It can eliminate a lot of fighting between the stepchildren over the estate.” Another instance which could indicate the need for a prenuptial agreement is when older, wealthier persons marry. “Normally, as we grow older, we acquire more wealth, whether money or property,” Hobert says. “In this case, an individual, especially one with a much younger spouse, might want to clearly delineate individual property.” The “young heiress” case, though a hit unusual, may also call for a premarital agreement. In this instance, when one of the partners expects to receive a large inheritance or distributions from a a trust fund, the contract might specify the monies or property received as individual, not joint, assets. In order to better understand the value of prenuptial agreements, Hohert explains an aspect of Virginia divorce laws. Most assets acquired during a marriage are considered joint. Upon divorce, joint assets are not, as in some other states, divided equally. The court evaluates where the assets should go on the basis of the needs of the parties, the presence of children, the lifestyle acquired during the marriage and where the fault, if any, lies in the divorce. Percentages are then awarded, based on these factors. Although inheritance assets are not considered joint property when obtained, should the heir place any part of the inheritance in a joint account with the spouse, or use the money toward the improvement or purchase of jointly-held property, that portion of the inheritance becomes joint property. Upon divorce, that percentage would be divided accordingly. There are no standard rules for drafting premarital agreements. They are as varied as the couples whose lifestyles compel them to seek counsel. In addition to property distribution clauses, contracts can also spell out provisions for the postponement of individual careers, freeing one spouse for child rearing. Often, in this case, an annual monetary value is placed on the caregiver's time, to be considered in the case of divorce. Agreements can also be constructed to allow couples to alternate work and schooling, enabling both to complete their educations without sacrificing financial security. Premarital contracts are seen only in a relatively small percentage of prospective marriages, but Hobert says, with today’s social structure leaning more and more toward individual independence, the need is increasing. “It’s a growing area of law, certainly. And it doesn't imply spouses are trying to treat each other unfairly. It just lets everybody know where things stand,” said Hobert. Wedding texts avaiCa6Ce There are two texts in particular that might prove helpful for people planning weddings. “Weddings” by Martha Stewart (Clarkson N. Potter Inc.: New York, 1987) is a pricey hook but jam-packed with gorgeous color pictures and lots of unusual ideas for flower arrangements, menus, etc. “Capital Entertaining” by Bunny Polmer and Ann Yonkers (101 Productions: San Francisco, 1985) is ideal for couples who plan to wed in the D.C.-Maryland-Northern Virginia <#* area. It lists “caterers to call and places to party.” Lots of ideas, prices, phone numbers. Hyphenate name at will Some married couples like to hyphenate their names. They might decide to become Mary Jones-Smith and John Jones-Smith, putting his or her name first. It’s not necessary to go through a court proceeding to do this. But it’s only good manners to let family and friends know how to address you by sending “at-home” cards with wedding announcements. When writing thank-you notes, the bride should sign her new name.
