Adults are invited to accompany their children, but they may not fish. Box lunches will be available from the church in Syria, just up the road. 4 Schools schedule makeup day The county's schoolchildren will be short one day of their spring break this year because of last month's snow day.

Freedom rings out Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter THE NEW FREEDOM BELL comes to Rappahannock County Elementary School. The exact replica of the Liberty Bell, forged in the same foundry, has been touring the country for the past three years. RCES students got the opportunity to ring the bell, and their names will be filed in the National Archives along with the millions of other Americans who have rung the bell during its travels. According to Bob Walker, a spokesman for NS A, the Buddhist lay organization which sponsored the bell’s visit, “it is a symbol of the freedom the Constitution guarantees .... Part of its significance is that people are free to ring it, and by ringing it we can proclaim our patriotism and pride in America.’’ Propose school budget is $4.4 million County s tab would rise by $413,500 By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Every budget is based on a philosophy, whether stated or not," School Superintendent David Gangel said as he presented a $4.4 million budget for fiscal 1989-90 to the school board Tuesday evening. This represents an increase of 12 percent above this year's $3.8 million. Although state funds to support the budget are up seven percent, or $95,224, the federal contribution has dropped 11 percent ($29,085). The bulk of the funds needed to make up the deficit will have to come from an increased local contribution. The county's share of the budget will increase by 21.5 percent, or $413,586. Ot the increase, $103,132 is for debt service as the first regular payment comes due this year for the high school addition. Another $88,500 is the estimated cost of acquiring property for the proposed middle school. Most areas are holding constant at their current level," he said. "However, three areas have been lifted out to be improved. The first is instruction; the second is salaries; and the third is fringe benefits. In addition there are mandates that have to be met.” Instruction remains #7 priority “Instruction is number one in everything we do," Dr. Gangel said. One area of instruction to be improved in the new budget is implementing the seven-period day at the high school, which will add $10,000 to the budget to pay five teachers an additional $2,000 each for teaching six periods a day. Two other areas of instruction scheduled for improvement are handling all of Rappahannock’s trainable mentally retarded (TMR) high school-aged students at RCHS and offering remedial education to students who have fallen behind grade-level in kindergarten and first grade. Studies show that remediation is more effective when it is started as early as possible. Dr. Gangel said. See BUDGET, p. 18 I Two announce interest in Stonewall-Hawthorn seat By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock News has learned of two candidates for the seat on the Board of Supervisors representing Stonewall-Hawthorn District which became vacant when Nelson Lane resigned last week. Both Robert Anderson and Robert Darby are circulating petitions and talking with residents of the district in an attempt to garner support. The four remaining members of the county’s board have announced they will make an appointment on March 28, following a public meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 23. Robert Anderson, 57, is a retired Eastern Airlines pilot. He has represented the district on the County Planning Commission since August 1986. Mr. Anderson and his wife, Roberta, have a grown son who graduated from Rappahannock County High School, and a daughter, Jennifer, who is a senior at Wakefield School. Since moving to the county in 1968, he has run a registered Angus cattle operation at his Bleak Hill Farm. He has been active^ loc^l. affairs, serving as president of the local Farm Bureau since 1983. He was on the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation Board from 1974 to 1985 and served as citizen representative to the District 9 Planning Commission from 1973 to 1975. Mr. Anderson was chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Assessors in 1974 and was on the school expansion committee in 1976. He has been Rappahannock’s representative on the Selective Service Board since 1984 and is on the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association Bull Test Committee. A past president of the local Lions Club, he has been a member since 1968. When he was asked about issues affecting the county, Mr. Anderson said, “I’d like to see the county kept like it is. 1 know that will be hard to do. I’d like to see controlled growth in the county. “It's hard for young people to buy land and build. It’s a problem. Everybody knows it’s a problem. Without opening the county up for development, what can you do? It’s something that will have to be worked on in the future. “I’d like to see the schools keep up to speed on education. Education is one of my main priorities." On land use, Mr. Anderson is also in favor of the status quo. “I’m for land-use taxation. That’s what’s keeping the county rural.” When he was asked specifically about the dumpster at Scrabble which the Hoard of Supervisors has threatened to close if people keep violating the rules on what may be disposed of there, Mr. Anderson said, “I'd like to see more policing of the See CANDIDATES, p. 13 Nominees sought for two vacancies on council, ARB By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer Retiring Washington Town Council member Nan Thomasson asked that Reinhardt Lynch be appointed to replace her, but the council wants to hear from the town’s residents before filling the vacancy. Mrs. Thomasson, who has moved out of town, told the council that she has always felt that she represents the town’s business community, and that appointing Mr. Lynch would assure the continued representation of that segment of the town residents and merchants. Town attorney Frank Reynolds suggested the meeting for public comment, noting that the county is using the same process in filling a vacancy on the Board of Supervisors. The council agreed, and will use the same meeting to solicit nominees for the vacancy on the town’s Architectural Review Board, created by the resignation of Mrs. Thomasson’s husband, Jim. The meeting will be held next Wednesday, March 22 at 8 p.m. The location is unsure since the courtroom may be in use for a trial, but if it is held elsewhere a sign will be posted on the courthouse door. Mayor Dean Morehouse emphasized that suggestions for nominees to the two posts from the town’s residents are welcome, as are comments about the openings. Any resident who cannot attend the meeting may also submit their comments in writing, he added. Those comments should be given to any member of the council before the meeting. Mayor Morehouse asked anyone interested in the two positions to attend the meeting on March 22, but added that attendance is not required to be considered for the positions. Cable TV offered George Pancner, who is building a cable television network in Madison, told the council that he would like to do the same in Washington. He told the council that his plan, if the council agrees, is to install a 54-channel cable TV network in the town with the service extending west along Route 211 to Sperryville. He added that eventually, the service might be extended to Flint Hill. Mr. Pancner said that the cable lines would run above ground, but if the town ever reached an agreement to bury utility lines, he would bury his lines, too. He said that, at first, the cable would offer 23 channels, with the service expanded to 54 channels later. That comment met with laughter from the audience, where one onlooker observed, “That’s 22 more than we get now.” Asked about the price of service, Mr. Pancner said he estimates that the basic service would cost $14.95 a month, with an extra charge for certain services such as Showtime, Home Box Office and other pay channels. He explained that space for his antennas would be necessary, and suggested they could be located near the water system’s storage tank, since it is located on high ground. When it was pointed out that locating the antennas within the towm limits might pose a conflict with the Historic District Ordinance, Mr. Pancner said that a “central location” between Washington and Sperryville would be agreeable with him, since it would enable him to serve more customers at the least cost. As for an agreement for service, Mr. Pancner said he proposed a 15-year franchise with two seven-year options for renewal. The town would be required to notify him at least one year in advance of any decision to withdraw the franchise. Asked about the time-frame for providing service, he said that stringing the wires is relatively easy, and estimated it could be done in about eight weeks. In his experience, however, the time-consuming effort has been negotiating with the Virginia Department of See COUNCIL, p. 18 Rite of spring Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter EACH SPRING, LORING ANDERSON takes a ride around Washington, delivering the season’s first daffodils to his friends.

VIRGINIA NEWS From Across The State 'Lottery sales still a good bet for state Six month gross tops $250M By MAKY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Who said Virginians wouldn’t like the lottery? Five months after the games’ kickoff, the Virginia Lottery still averages $1 million in daily ticket sales, reaching its $250 million mark on Feb. 14. Northern Virginians have played their share of the games, according to a recent report issued by the State Lottery' Department. Fairfax County ranks second only to Virginia Beach in total ticket sales, boasting over $14.5 million in sales for the first five months of the games. Loudoun County’s sales reached over $2.3 million. Fauquier County, with over $1.8 million in total sales, placed 37th among counties and cities in the Commonwealth. Clarke and Rappahannock County sold more than $290,000 worth of tickets. The jingle of change can be heard as people continue to delve into their pockets and gather up the scattered coins on the dresser to play the lottery’s fourth game, Loose Change. To play, one scratches off five coins. If the coins add up to over one dollar, the player can win prizes ranging from a free ticket to $20,000. Less than one month into the sales, more than 26 million of the 55 million tickets have been sold, according to Paula Otto, public information director. X lie. UVVI/Vl J gearing up for the on-line games expected to begin at the end of May. Starting the on-line games involves choosing about 1,500 retailers to receive the initial game terminals, linking the retailers’ computers to the main system in Richmond, and training the staff, explained Lottery director Ken Thorson. The on-line game will begin with the player picking three numbers. If the numbers appear in the exact order during the nightly drawing, the winner can collect $500. If the ticket purchaser chooses to play the “any order” game, he or she can win $80. As people become familiar with the on-line games, the number picks will increase. In other states, on-line games have traditionally had a slower start, said Otto, yet they eventually make up about 80 percent of lottery sales. The Virginia Lottery plans to keep the instant games viable through marketing and promotions, said Otto. With the success of the state lottery, many individuals are curious to learn where the money goes. Several legislators worked to give some of the lottery dollars back to localities. However, the 1989 session of the General Assembly chose to support - Gov. Gerald L. Baliles’ proposal to direct the funds into prioritized capital projects. The projects, both large and small, tend to education, health and prison needs. Correction In last week’s “Out of the Attic" photograph, the text which accompanied the picture said that the gas station and house, then owned by H. H. Avlor, is “now the home of Rappahannock Auto Parts.” That is incorrect. Rappahannock Auto Parts now occupies Mr. Aylor’s old service station, but Mr. Aylor’s house is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Luther A. Stanley Jr. The Rappahannock News regrets the error.

'Tour de Trump' to include county A professional bicycle race from Albany, N.Y., to Rich* mond, Va., sponsored by financier Donald Trump is scheduled to pass through Rappahannock County Wednesday, May 10. Sheriff John Henry Woodward told the Board of Supervisors of the event during its meeting Feb. 6. The “Tour de Trump,” involving at least 100 bicycles and as many support vehicles, will leave Front Royal that morning and travel mostly back roads to Route 211 just west of Shenandoah National Park Headquarters outside Luray, Sheriff Woodward said. From there the cyclists will cross through the park on Route 211, coming through Sperryville before noon. The racers will head east out of Sperryville on Route 522, then turn south on Route 231 to travel toward Madison. That day’s race will end in Charlottesville. For most of the race, traffic will be controlled by a “rolling road block,” Sheriff Woodward told the supervisors, but for the portion of the race through the park, Route 211 will be closed to traffic. That stretch, down Route 211 from Thornton’s Gap to Sperryville through the switchbacks and horseshoe curves which dot the steep descent, should be one of the “most exciting” parts of the race, Sheriff Woodward said. With no traffic on the road, the bicyclists are expected to reach speeds of 65 to 75 miles per hour. Sheriff Woodward said that his department will be cooperating with the Virginia State Police to make sure no cars pull out into the middle of the race. NBC will be providing television coverage of the event. — Sharon Kilpatrick Race panel on track; approach is 'deliberate' By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — With the first signs of spring appearing this weekend, Virginia’s neighbors to the west began anxiously anticipating America’s most famous horse race, the Kentucky Derby. Established in 1875, the derby is held annually on the first Saturday in May in Louisville, Ky. In far off Italy, jitters of anticipation are also present in the quiet town of Siena. The 350-year-old Palio horse race is held every July and August within the city’s ancient town hall, bringing the city to life. Here in Virginia, though, the excitement is just as real, as the state's first Racing Commission begins to lay plans for horse racing in Virginia. “This is going to be exciting for Virginia,” ^taid Nancy Roberts, deputy secretary of economic development, about the state’s racing start-up.

BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Richmond Bureau RICHMOND — Verbal punches were thrown by former state Attorney General Marshall Coleman and former U.S. Sen. Paul S. Trible in the final minutes of an otherwise calm debate last Thursday night. Round two of the Republican gubernatorial debates took place before a crowd of nearly 500 listeners at Midlothian High School in Chesterfield County. Del. Raymond R‘. “Andy” Guest, U.S. Rep. Stanford E. Parris, Coleman and Trible gathered to answer questions posed by local journalists. The four candidates are competing in the June 13 primary for the GOP nomination. In his closing statement, Coleman accused Trible of abandoning former President Reagan in 1987 during “his hour of need,” the time of the Iran-Contra hearings. Trible also was criticized by Coleman for his opposition to George Bush’s candidacy for the GOP nomination for president in 1988. “You’ve seen Marshall Coleman slash and attack and say and do anything in order to win," was Trible’s response. Despite the digs, both candidates denied running negative campaigns. “When people attack, I’m going to defend myself,” said Trible, who leads the others in the polls. “I am offended to be attacked every time I talk about the record,” Coleman said later, adding that he wanted Trible to respond to his comments, not “try to hide within a cocoon.” The three Republican candidates opposing Trible have criticized the debate format, saying it does not hold the others accountable for what they might say. However, a change in format appears unlikely for the next nine debates scheduled. The current layout was difficult for all of the candidates to agree upon, according to Jeff Dickerson, Guest’s press secretary. Among the topics discussed during the hour-long debate was the issue of growth management. Like areas of Northern Virginia, Chesterfield County, located just south of Richmond, has experienced rapid growth. Parris said he supports conditional zoning, a tool that permits local governments to accept proffers for costs inflicted by developers in land rezoning cases. However, Parris criticized the impact fees legislation recently approved by the General Assembly. His concern, he said, is that local governments could accept contribution of impact fees and use them for some purpose other than the development-impacted needs. Coleman and Guest also support the proffer system used in Northern Virginia. Trible favors regional cooperation, saying Virginians “need to speak more and more with one voice.” The commission agreed at its first meeting last month to withhold licensing for pari-mutuel betting until 1990, including flat tracks and steeplechase events. Taking an innovative approach to planning, the commission members intend to hold public information meetings in the late spring, explained Roberts. The meetings will be held “to find out what the public would like the horse-racing program in Virginia to be,” said Roberts. The new commission was expected to hold its second meeting Wednesday, March 15, in Richmond. The number one agenda item for the meeting was to outline the position of executive director, according to Smit. The executive director will handle the administrative duties of the horse-racing industry and will work under the direction of the Racing Commission. No plans have been set as of yet, for finding a race track location, according to Roberts; nor has a possible date for the first day of the races been determined. “There’s a heck of a lot of work that needs to be done before that,” said Smit.

Mon.-Fn Published by Arundel Newspapers Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1989 The press under attack In the last few weeks, few topics have been as hotly debated as Salman Rushdie and his novel, The Satanic Verses. Mr. Rushdie is now in hiding in England after Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini put a bounty on his head. In this country, fanatics believed to be sponsored by the Ayatollah’s fundamentalist dictatorship have been linked to the bombings of two bookstores in Berkeley, Calif. Last Friday, also in California, the car driven by the wife of Navy Capt. Will Rogers III was bombed. Mrs. Rogers narrowly escaped injury, and again the evidence points to the Ayatollah. On Feb. 28, a newspaper became the target. The Riverdale Press, a weekly newspaper which covers the community of that name in The Bronx, N. Y., was firebombed and its offices destroyed. Luckily, the early morning attack injured no one. The FBI believes that an editorial written the previous week condemning the removal of Mr. Rushdie’s book from bookstore shelves prompted the attack. Editor Bernard “Buddy” Stein, who publishes the paper along with his brother Richard, has twice been nominated for Pulitzer Prizes for his editorial writing. The bomber failed to silence The Riverdale Press. It published as usual that Thursday, continuing the proud tradition of community newspapers across this land which refuse to allow lunatics and zealots, however violent their threats and acts, to silence them or to deny them, and their readers, their freedom under the First Amendment. Most newspapers, thankfully, never have to deal with such a terrifying threat. But the firebombing of The Riverdale Press makes us think about the possibility — and that is what the terrorists seek. They seek to silence courageous voices by fear — by the threat of violence and death. But they can’t win as long as Buddy Stein, and others like him, refuse to bow to intimidation. What follows is the editorial written by Mr. Stein which appeared in the Feb. 23 issue of The Riverdale Press. It is reprinted here in response to an editorial suggestion in the Queens Tribune that all community newspapers across America publish Mr. Stein’s editorial this week, “as an act of symbolic solidarity in support of the principle of a free press.” Mi Hl\,tHl)ALI FRt SS—Thursday February ?3 1989 Opinions Editorial comment The tyrant and his chains How fragile civilization is; how easily, how merrily a book bums," wrote Salman Rushdie when a group of English Moslems publicly burned copies of his novel, "The Satanic Verses," in West Yorkshire last month. The powers of reason and imagination are indeed the underpinnings of our civilization. lo suppress a book or ■ punish an idea is to express contempt for the people who read the book or consider the idea. In preferring the logic of the executioner to the logic of debate, the bookburners aj$d the Ayatollah Khomeini display their distrust for the principle on which self-government rests, the wisdom and virtue of ordinary people. Americans are fighting back in the most appropriate way possible, by reading ana taming auoui rar. nusnuie s book. But the cowardly connivance of the big book chains with the Ayatollah is placing obstacles in the way of this counter-attack. Waldenbooks, the nation's largest chain, began the retreat last Thursday when it removed the book from the shelves of its 1,200 stores. B. Dalton and Barnes & Noble dropped the book the next day, adding another 1,250 stores that won’t carry it. In Riverdale, we’re fortunate to have an independent book seller. Readers, not fearful executives, had stripped Paperbacks Plus of “The Satanic Verses” by this weekend. The store has reordered the book and will continue to sell it In much of the country however, the big chains are the only game in town. They ac count for an estimated 20 to 30 percent of alt book sales, and their power can make or break a title. Will Viking continue to order reprintings of “The Satanic Verses” if so many stores refuse to sell it? If not, the chains will have helped win a victory for terrorism. The chain store executives excuse their surrender to the Ayatollah by expressing con (( The art of the novet is a thing I cherish as dearly as the book-burners of Bradford value their brand of militant Islam Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth, but the truth of the tale, of the imagination, and of (he heart. So the battle over ‘The Satanic Verses' is a dash of faiths, in a way Or, more precisely, it’s a dash of languages As my fictional character 'Salman' says of my fictional prophet 'Mahound,' ‘It's his Word against mine—Salman Rushdie. 99 i cern for the wellbeing of their employees, but by knuckling under they’ve put others at risk. If a threat can knock the books from the shelves of the Big Three, terrorists may reason, think what a bomb in an uncompliant bookstore could do Moreover, terrorism feeds on its successes. What will Waldenbooks do when a homegrown wouldbe tyrant demands the removal of a - politically controver siai oook rruni ns sneivesr Ana now will n handle the next step, a demand that stores stock a particular book? The bookstore chains have enormous power. Their decisions can determine what thoughts are disseminated in what form. With that power should go responsibility. Selling books is not the same as selling socks or sundries. Book stores sell ideas and visions; they feed the mind and spirit. They have an obligation to safeguard the freedom of expression. Independent book stores can’t match the buying power of the chains, and therefore can’t match their discounted prices. Their proprietors like to say that what they offer to readers who pay full price for their books is service. 1b that, they can now add something more important: the small additional cost is the price of freedom.

Letters to the editor A recipe for success To the editor: The ingredients necessary in organizing a successful athletic pro?ram are usually difficult to obtain. o acquire this combination close your eyes and imagine . . . S.P.A.C.E. Support from the school and from the community is a must. The support from our fans is outstanding. You are the envy of many rival teams and our purpose is to perform for you. “Pride” must dominate all other ingredients. The pride in our school this year has been incredible. Our new athletic facility (gymnasium, locker rooms and weight room) is greatly appreciated and very well deserved. For years opposing teams and visitors laughed in disbelief — but this year they were awestruck. “Ability” is also important, and this year’s team had plenty of that. Man for man our starting five was probably one of the best in the state’s “Single A” division.. Eric Dunn, Anthony Porter, Doug Smith and Julian Groves were selected to receive all-district recognition. The leader and most consistent player was Eric, averaging over 22 points per game. Anthony grabbed nearly 14 rebounds per game and netted 10 points an outing. Doug and Julian scored in double figures over half of the games and averaged nine and eight points respectively. Danny Ellis added seven points a game and was a key to many wins. Jamie and Benji Roy were major contributors off the bench, both excellent hustlers and good rebounders. Mike Payne (six-foot-fiveinches) and Carroll Frye (six-footone-inch) gave Anthony and Doug a run for their money daily in practice, pushing the starters to play their best. Freshman James Roy shows great potential and is a well balanced scorer, hitting both from three feet and from the three-point range. Bill Atkins makes his teammates pick up the tempo, he’s a good ball handler and controls the offense well. Senior Daniel Roy is the heart of the team, and although unfortunate incidents limited his playing time, his leadership and team spirit were major contributions — thanks. Brock. Rounding out the tournament team were Keith Tobin, Kenneth Baldwin and Paul Hitt. Keith is a hustler on offense and defense. Kenneth has developed excellent shooting form and plays aggressively. Paul is a great shooter and has a promising varsity future. Fairwell to sophomore Big Man Zack Allen, who is off to Pakistan & THIS RECYCLING- THINGHAS he worried — .. Could lose, our home,. next year. Good luck Zack, we’ll miss you. The ability is overlooked unless it possesses “commitment.” Players must have the desire to work hard both in the classroom and on the court. They must be totally dedicated and have the self-discipline needed to make the right decisions, all of the time. The final ingredient is “enthusiasm.” The game has to be fun — and believe me, winning will lead to a celebration of fun. The final score doesn’t always provide fun, it’s the smiles, cheers, cold chills and the satisfaction of being part of a team that is just important. As I look into SPACE, I see a lot of stars (mostly wearing Panther uniforms) and as I look back, what did it take? I would like to say “Thanks” to: the players for a great season; the managers and stat keepers for a job well done; the fabulous five; our wonderful cheerleaders; the faculty and administration; our great students at RCHS; our future Panthers at RGES; the parents for their support and understanding; the friends, alumni and basketball lovers for following us throughout the season; the Rappahannock News for top-notch coverage; my family for the quick pre-game meals, the late night sleepovers and the balloon. I would especially like to thank my wife Renee, who doubles as my assistant, who has been there through every win and every loss, and she still loves me — wow what a woman! Thanks again to everyone. Hey, it s softball and baseball season now, could it be? Go for it!!! COACH GARY LEAKE RCHS Nethers area is part of gypsy moth spray plan RICHMOND — In cooperation with the counties of Shenandoah, Page, Madison, Greene, Albermarle and Rockingham, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is proposing the treatment of 12,950 acres of forested land to suppress gypsy moth populations. This proposal is for those areas located in the Appalachian Integrated Pest Management (AIPM) project area. The AIPM project was funded by Congress in 1987 to slow the spread of the gypsy moth south along the Appalachian Mountains and to minimize adverse impacts to the forest caused by gypsy moth population buildups. Two classifications of forested land are proposed for treatment. The first classification, comprising 92 percent of the proposed treatment areas, is for those areas considered to be inhabited or high-use forested land. The second classification is for those forested areas considered to be uninhabited and comprises eight percent of the area proposed for treatment. In the uninhabited areas, the objective of the proposed treatment is to reduce the impact of gypsy moth defoliation and reduce egg mass densities. In the inhabited forested or high-use areas, the objectives are to reduce the impact of gypsy moth defoliation, maintain larvae number below those levels that would be considered a nuisance by the residents and forest users, and slow the artificial spread of the moth. These proposed insecticide treatments are to be carried out this spring, by aerial and group applica tions. The biological insecticide, Cacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and the insect growth regulator, diflubenzuron (trade name: Dimilin), are being considered for use in the treatment areas. In Shenandoah County, treatments are proposed for the Bryce/Buck Hill and the Big Spring areas. In Madison County, treatments are proposed for the Nethers, Popham Run and Strother Run areas. In Greene County, treatment is proposed for the Fletcher area. In Page County, treatments are proposed for the Kimball-Springfield Church, Hamburg and Tanners Ridge areas. In Rockingham County, treatments are proposed for Sparkling Springs, Coffman Church-Fox Mountain, Lacey Springs area and along Interstate 81 south of New Market. In addition to aerial treatments, insecticides will be applied using ground application spray equipment in several locations in the following counties: Page, Madison, Rockingham, and Albermarle. Detailed information concerning location of these proposed treatment areas is available by contacting your county gypsy moth coordinator at the following numbers: Green County (804) 985-5236, Madison County (703) 432-1186, Page County (703) 743-4808, Rockingham County <, (703) 434-4455, Shenandoah County (703) 459-3739, Albermarle (804) I 296-5803. In additon, a series of public meetings will be held in each of the counties to discuss this year’s AIPM treatment program. The dates and locations of these meetings will be announced locally to the public in the near future.

The rogue bull By GERALD S. HAWKINS Rappahannock News Contributing Writer The main crop on the farm is grass-with-clover hay, and I haven’t yet ventured into raising cattle, so Jhe day my wife, Julia, saw cattle on the property, she was naturally surprised. || Glancing through the kitchen jtqrindow toward Turkey Ridge, she few a herd grazing in the stubble. SPwo brothers, Joe and Harry, were !»ing our neighbor’s land by arrangement for winter pasture and calving. What had happened was that a black bull had broken through the fence onto our farm, and some of the cows in the herd had followed. U I telephoned Joe, explaining the problem, and I asked him to come for his cattle. Joe and Harry arrived *4 an old Buick, and quickly got the fcfragglers, including the bull, back jlfross the line. The Buick, which hjas a battered green sedan, slid er the meadow and climbed up the issy hill like a low-slung lizard, ith hammer, nails and wirertfretcher, Joe and Harry quickly beg^n the job of putting five good Ifrands of barbed wire across the ■ The cold sun had set behind the tdg, and as Joe tightened strand number four I heard a distant thundering in the darkness. Suddenly the tfogue bull rushed down the hillside, crashed over the wires and disappeared into what we call the “ravine.” That was a part of our farm we seldom entered. It harbored some fox dens, deer beds and other signs of wildlife, but it was rocky, steepsided and difficult to penetrate. But Joe and Harry chased into the ravine after the bull, shouting loudly and waving their arms. Unfortunately, they were not Perspective successful. Joe came back to the house to borrow a flashlight, and began the search again. Julia and I could hear more crashings and shouts in the darkness. Occasionally there was the glint of our flashlight through the wet cedars. To me it seemed like a case of “looking for a black bull on a black night.” Julia thought it was more like a “wild bull chase.” An hour passed, and Joe and Harry came back to the house minus their bull. By now a cold drizzle was falling, and the flashlight battery was weak. I told them to leave the bull where it was. We had good fences, except for the rogue’s gap, and so far as I was concerned, the bull could safely stay overnight. The next morning was bright and sunny. During the night, the bull had walked through the rose hedge of our front yard and pushed over a redbud sapling. 1 straightened the tree, and figured how the pancakes of manure left behind in the garden were adequate compensation. By the time the brothers arrived, the bull had jumped the stream and was grazing on Woodchuck Hill. Together they drove it back to the cows, and, having put the fourth and fifth strand of wire in place, we all thought that was the end of the matter. But it wasn’t. One week later, I was amazed to see the bull thunder down the hillside again, this time in broad daylight, and jump the fence, clearing all five strands. Joe and Harry were not at home when I telephoned, and a woman, who I think was their mother, answered. Her voice was sprightly — not your little-old-ladv by any score. She knew a lot about cattle. 1 told her what happened . . . “Guess it thinks it’s a deer.’’ That was all she said. If it was a joke, the laugh was on me. This time there was no .Joe and* Harry, no slithering Buick to come to the rescue. I was alone with the rogue bull. I'm not the type of an Englishman w'ho goes out in the midday sun; I’m much more cautious. But that bull stamping on my land was a gauntlet thrown down, so to speak, a dare that- I had to do something about. I grabbed a hayfork, and ran at the bull, shouting and hollering like Joe and Harry had done the week before. The bull raised its head, stood for a moment looking at the prongs held out toward it.

It shoved its stubby horns under the lowest strand and lifted the whole fence — stakes, barbed wire, and a mass of brambles — into the air. I looked at the damage. I was now a much wiser Englishman. What if it had tossed, not the fence, but me? .Joe and Harry came over when they got the message from their mother. I stood there while they drove around in the Buick to check up on the bull and the herd. If push came to shove, this second hole in the fence was not their problem, because it was more my fault than the bull’s. But the brothers were good about the incident. They fixed the new gap with stakes and wire. Then, just to be safe, they ran an extra strand of wire all along the top of the fence. My neighbors were surprised at what I had done. They told me I might have been trampled, tossed, gored or worse. I suppose the bull was surprised at what I did too, and that is why I had been successful, at least this once. Of coiirse, I do not plan to try the tactic again. I don’t know whether it was Joe and Harry’s high sixth strand, or whether it was the sight of me and the hayfork, but to this day, even though the herd continues to pasture on the other side of the fence, I have never had any more trouble from that rogue bull.

Credit helps low income People whose 1988 income was less than $18,576 and who had a child living in their home, may be eligible to lower their taxes or receive a refund of up to $874 by filing a federal tax return and claiming the earned income credit. “Each year many people who are eligible for earned income credit don’t apply for it because they don’t know it’s available," Jack Petrie, Internal Revenue Service Director for Virginia, said. To be eligible for the.credit you must have earned income during the year, Mr. Petrie explained. Gener ally, earned income includes wages, salaries, tips, self-employment income and a disability pension. Earned income does not include Social Security payments, welfare benefits and unemployment compensation. For purposes of computing the earned income credit, members of the military must treat non-taxable benefits such as: family combat pay and combat-related benefits; subsistence (food) allowance; basic or variable quarters (housing) allowance; uniform allowance and mustering out payments, as earned income. If the value of their non-taxable benefits, plus their other earned income, exceeds $18,576, they are not entitled to claim the earned income credit. Taxpayers who receive non-taxable compensation must enter “NEI" on the dotted line to the left of line 56 on the Form 1040 and to the left of line 21B on the Form 1040A, even if they cannot claim the credit, Mr. Petrie said. In addition to having earned income, you must have a child living with you for more than half the year, your principal home must be in the United States, and if you are married you must file a joint return, he said. Information on eligibility, restrictions and requirements on earned income credit is available in free IRS Publication 596, “Earned Income Credit.” To get a copy, call (800) 424-3676, or for more information call the IRS at (800) 424-1040. •Rappahannock foetus gift subscriptions are enjoyed 52 weeks a year.

According to Mrs. CartwrightBrown, the workshop is designed to bring a dose of reality to those who have fantasized about owning a bed and breakfast or country inn. 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 behind-thescenes tour of the Conyers House operation. Also speaking will be former students of innkeeping workshops who have since opened their own inns. These ex-students will offer their own various styles of innkeeping — from part-time owners who work in the city and commute to their inn in the country, to a three-room B & B whose reputation is built on their limited dinner business, which is open to the public as well. The workshop begins at 10 a.m. and will end around 4 p.m., depending on questions from the group. For more information or to make reservations for the workshop, call the Conyers House (987-8025).

Child participation and Easter go together By SANDRA RICHARDSON Extension Agent, Home Economics Children can take a special part in holiday celebrations, and Easter is an ideal holiday for youngsters to participate in the preparation of food. When children and grown-ups of several generations work together, youngsters have a sense of accomplishment and importance. Be sure that the youngster is old enough and/or mature enough to help with the chore to be done, and remember that a tiny kitchen is not a safe place for a toddler to play while food is being prepared. The countertop or work surface should be cleared to provide ample elbow room for each cook to work. Make sure that the work surface is a comfortable height for the child. If a stepstool is used it should be sturdy. Make certain that the task fits the child. Young children can help measure and. stir. The handling of hot pots and baking pans is for other children and adults. Cooking can be a learning experience. Here are some tips: • Show the child how to use potholders or oven mitts to move hot objects, how to use knives and how to safely use electrical appliances. • Read the recipe carefully before starting. All equipment and ingredients should be assembled before you begin. This makes the task easier and keeps the attention of the child. • Allow enough time to prepare and cook the food so that you and your child will enjoy the experience and the finished product. • To make cleanup quick and easy, spread waxed paper on the work area when measuring dry ingredients. Measure liquid ingredients over a small bowl or cup. • Cookies and breads are popular items for first-time cooks. Cookies require measuring and mixing skills and allow for creativity in shaping and decorating. Quick breads teach the same basic skills but yeast breads provide more opportunity for energyy release and creativity through kneading and shaping. Thumbprint cookies 1 cup margarine 1 2 cup sugar 1 whole egg 1 egg white 1/2 tsp. vanilla 2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour Cream margarine with sugar. Add whole egg, egg white and vanilla and beat until mixture is a light lemon color. Add flour and mix well. Form dough in l-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on lightly-oiled cookie sheet. Flatten balls only slightly. Make an identation with thumb and fill with jelly. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F. oven 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 4 dozen.

Combine milk and margarine in a saucepan. Heat over low heat until liquids are very warm, 120 degrees to 130 degrees. Margarine does not need to melt. Gradually add to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed with electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough additional flour to make a soft dough. Turn out on lightly floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; place bowl in pan of water at 98 degrees . Let rise 15 minutes. Turn dough onto floured board. Divide into 6 equal portions. To make bunny (side view’), divide each portion into halves. Shape one half into an oval to form body. Divide second half into thirds. One third, shape into ball to form head. Place in front on top side of oval. The second third, divide into half and roll into 2 cylinders and shape as desired to form feet. Put on bottom side of oval to form front and back paws. Divide last third portion of dough into half. Once again roll into cylinders shaping one end to form ear. Press side of thumb to form ridge in center of cylinder. This creates the inside of the bunny’s ear. Attach to top of head. Use raisin or currant for eye. Repeat using each portion to form remaining bunnies. Cover; let rise in warm place 15 min. Bake at 425 degrees about 12 min. or until done. Older children can help with garnishes or relish trays by making radish roses, onion chrysanthemums, pickle fans and other decorative items.

If you don’t have this gadget, slice the eggs the short way with a serrated knife into 1/4-inch thick slices. 1 hard-boiled egg 1 piece toasted and buttered bread Jelly Slice the egg and arrange towards the tops of a medium-sized plate so that they overlap and form a flower. Add a dab of jelly in the center of the flower. To make the leaves and stem, cut the slice of buttered toast into two triangles and one long strip and arrange as shown. Viola! Beth DeBerg.

Time to plant hardy seeds By DIANE RELF Extension Home Horticulturist If you’re like most gardeners, the pleasure of the seed catalogs is wearing thin about this time of year. Your fingers are starting to itch for the feel of the earth. Well, you’ve waited long enough. At last, it s time to start planting early vegetables. You can sow the hardy types about a month before the average last frost date in your area. That’s right about now for much of Virginia. Call your local Extension office to get the date for your part of theCommonwealth. To promote vigorous growth, apply a liberal amount of 5-10-5 fertilizer when you plow or turn your garden. Broadcast about four pounds per 100 square feet and disc it into the top five inches of soil before planting. To use fertilizer more efficiently and reduce the chances of nutrient leaching and water pollution, band the fertilizer two to three inches beneath the seed row's — about two pounds per 100 feet of row. Don’t cover seeds too deeply. This early in the season the soil is still cool and moist, and the seeds need only a light covering. A depth of two or three times their longest dimension is plenty. Lettuce is one of the best early season crops. Salad Bowl is a good variety. It is a leaf lettuce that grows well in Virginia, even after warmer weather approaches. Great Lakes is well suited to areas of the Commonwealth w here spring is long and cool. It is a solid, crisp-head type. In most of Virginia, however, the weather gets too hot too soon to produce good yields of the solid, crisp-head varieties. Instead, if you live in the warmer regions, try a few plants of ButterCrunch. This is an All-America Selection of Bibb lettuce. It has thick, tender, delicious leaves in a loose head. The Cos- or Romaine-type lettuce varieties are quite tolerant of heat and produce well-shaped, elongated heads. Include a few radishes in your early garden, but not too many. They’ll come up and be ready to eat I - ^ in about a month. As the temperature gets hotter, so does their flavor. Harvest them soon for mild accent to salads and garnish. If you like sharp radishes, let them grow a little longer. Add a few onion sets or small plants to your shopping list when you go to the garden center. They will grow rapidly and soon be ready to use as early green onions. Silverskin is a mild, white variety ideal for this use. The delicious, sweet flavor of fresh-from-the-garden green peas is many people’s favorite. Try Alaska or Greater Progress varieties.,. They’ll be ready in about 60 days. // Wando comes along about a week later. It tolerates the warm weather better than other varieties. The edible pod peas, such as snow peas, can be sown at the same time as the other green peas. Snap peas, such as Sugar Snap, will germinate better if you wait until the soil has w armed a bit. For early greens, plant Tendergreen or Southern Giant Curled mustard. They’ll be ready in about 35 to 40 days. Kale will take another two weeks to come in. I recommend Dwarf Blue Curled Vates for most of Virginia. Broccoli set out as transplants is an easy crop for most home gardeners. You’ll need to spray or dust a few times to control green cabbage worms. Premium Crop is a good variety for Virginia because it tolerates the heat we’ll have as it matures.

Wakefield won against Madison 195-170 in the opening round, Rappahannock County High School 200120 in the second round, Stuarts f Draft High School 180-155 in the semifinals, and Wilson Memorial High School 265-185 in the finals. Other schools participating were Culpeper County High School, Louisa County High School, Luray High School, Orange County High School and Page County High School. The rules for the competition were the same as those for the program “Pop Quiz” on channel WVPTTV. Mrs. Margaret Doyle coached the Wakefield team, represented by junior Bjorn Lindholm, captain; sophomore John Viega; junior Danielle Smith; and sophomore Lewis Martin. Senior Tanja Lindholm was the alternate. Forum topic is anesthesia Most of us do not anticipate the need for surgery, but when suddenly faced with the situation, we all want to know what choices are available. Anesthesia options will be the subject of a free public health forum to be held at Culpeper Memorial Hospital, Tuesday, March 28 at 7:30 p.m. The program will be conducted by Dr. Michael Russell, board certified anesthesiologist. Dr. Russell, who heads the anesthesiology department at CMH, will also show a slide presentation. “There is more to anesthesia than just pushing pentothal,’’ said Dr. Russell. “I will explain the types of anesthesia available, who manages the anesthestic while a surgeon operates, determinants of anesthetic and surgical risk, and the technology designed to assure patient safety.” The picture of anesthesia has greatly changed through the years. One example is the types of anesthesia available. “We have the general anesthesia where a patient is put to sleep, and the regional anesthesia which anesthetizes only a segment of the body. There is an anesthesia for obstetrics and an anesthesia for nonsurgical pain control,” said Dr. Russell. “We receive many questions from patients and families concerning the administering of anesthesia,” continued Dr. Russell. This forum will give everyone the opportunity to ask questions about anesthesia from what it is to who administers it.” “If there is anyone with an experience involving anesthesia or surgery that they would like to understand better, or anyone who has been told by a doctor, other than an anesthesiologist, that they ‘cannot be put to sleep’ or are ‘allergic to pentothal,’ this presentation urould be an excellent time for these types of questions to be answered.” To attend this free program, please call the CMH community relations department at 829-4307 or from Orange, 672-4322.

This is the ninth year for this opening-day special, sponsored by the Rapidan Chapter of Trout Unlimited, which usually attracts several hundred young anglers. Only boys and girls 12 and under may fish there; there is no charge and no license is needed. Adults, on the other hand, need a $12 state fishing license plus a $6.50 trout license to fish in stocked streams. After Saturday’s 9 a.m. start, fishing is permitted from 5 a.m. until one hour after sunset. The minimum legal size is seven inches, and anglers are allowed to catch only six fish per day. The childrens’ stretch of the Rose is along Route 670 between Criglersville and Syria, where plenty of parking is available. Members of Trout Unlimited will be on hand to assit novice anglers, and the Department of Game and Fisheries stocks this water with plenty of trout to tempt the youngsters and even puts in occasional oversize fish as special trophies. Children should bring their own tackle and bait, plus a stringer or plastic bag to carry home their fish. Adults may accompany their children but cannot fish. More information may be gotten by calling (703) 923-4278.

Candidates Continued from page 1 dumpsters. We need full citizen pars ticipation in that. If we close them all, it will just cause people to dump trash all over the roads. We must have citizen participation to help. The sheriff doesn’t have enough people to keep someone there all the time.” When asked about his overall philosophy of government, Mr. Anderson replied, “Government ought to be run by the people. You can’t satisfy everyone all the time. You just do the best you can in managing the affairs of the county.” Robert Darby, 52, moved to the . county in March 1986 after purchasing Jon Morgan’s Millwood Farm in Woodville. He and his wife, Trish, have a 6-year-ld daughter, Ann, who is in kindergarten at St. Luke’s in Culpeper. He also has three grown children. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Mr. Darby served in the Navy for eight years. He founded and was vice president of Advanced Technology Inc., an engineering and computer services firm. He has retired and sold his interest in the firm, which was bought by the Emhart Corporation. He is a member of the American Society of Naval Engineers and the Society of Logistic Engineers. He is chairman of the Board of Deacons of the Warrenton Presbyterian Church. Mr. Darby formerly lived in the Marshall District of Fauquier County. While there he was active in the affairs of the Bellevue Farm Property Owners Association. He said that he regularly attended meetings of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission. Since moving to Rappahannock County he has not yet been involved in county affairs. “I’d planned to involve myself in the affairs of the community here, but not as quickly as it seems to be happening,” he said. When he was asked about issues facing the county, Mr. Darby replied, “I like the rural character of the county and want to see that preserved. We need to apply the zoning ordinance consistently. It’s a good ordinance, but I see considerable challenge to it in the future. While I’m opposed to development, you can t oppose it thoughtlessly. Developers have to be approached wisely. Don t stick your chin out and say ‘No, No,' and then find yourself in court with the whole zoning ordinance injeopardy. “A second issue is education. It seems the school system is doing a good job with what it has to work with. I’d like to see it have more to work with. “A third issue is land use. I’m in favor of land-use taxation. There is enough pressure on landowners now. We want the farmers to stay in business.” When he was asked specifically about the Scrabble dumpster situation, Mr. Darby replied, “I was disturbed to see sofas and chairs set out there last weekend. I don’t know the answer, but there has to be an answer. It’s outrageous. Every time our backs are turned, someone dumps something that doesn’t belong in there.” When asked about his philosophy of government, Mr. Darby answered, “My overall philosophy of government ties in with why I think I would do a good job. I can get out and deal with people in this district. I like people. I can listen to them and reflect their views. I want to be the representative of the people of this district. I feel strongly in a conservative way that we must act according to the law, and we must act consistently in the way we interpret the law.” i he meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse will give the board an opportunity to hear from those who are interested in serving on the board and from anyone else who wishes to nominate or support a candidate for the vacancy. The supervisors will appoint someone to fill the vacancy at another special meeting on Tuesday, March 28, which will also be held at 7:30 p.m. at the courthouse. The person appointed at that meeting will serve until a special election in November, when the residents of Stonewall-Hawthorn District will select a supervisor to serve the two years remaining in Mr. Lane’s term. The board’s interim appointee may run for the seat, as may any other interested resident of the district. Want to get a letter from someone?

Budget Continued from page 1 This year two teachers and two teachers’ aides, who work full-time with those teachers, are being paid with federal Chapter 1 money. Those teachers offer remediation to students in second through seventh grades in reading and mathematics. In addition there are eight teachers’ aides serving the schools in various capacities being paid through the regular budget. Also the new budget calls for keeping the part-time position of Volunteer Coordinator, which is now funded through a grant, and paying for that position with regular budget money at a cost of $4,622. Making use of the electronic classroom is another area for improving instruction. With this program high school students will be able to take Latin or Advanced Placement English by watching television while they are connected by telephone to the teacher at a television studio in Harrisonburg. This will cost $4,732, Dr. Gangel estimates, assuming that 25 students will take advantage of the opportunity. When the electronic classroom concept was presented, it was not supposed to cost the county anything. In the past the state has covered the cost. Dr. Gangel said that he found out two months ago that there would be a “modest fee. I have spent most of the past two months trying to find out what that modest fee will be,” he said, and finally it turned out to be $189.27 per student. Raises would improve rank The proposed eight percent raises for all employees accounts for another large portion of the increase in the budget. Increases to the teachers’ salaries alone add $154,050. The county is required by the state to offer teachers at least a 7.3 percent increase. Dr. Gangel’s proposed teachers’ salary scale calls for an eight percent increase to the base. Any beginning teachers hired would get five percent more than that amount, while teachers who are new this year and return next year will get six percent more than the base. Those going from one year to two years of experience will get seven percent over the base and those going from twro years’ experience to three years’ experience will get nine percent above the base. From that point on the new' salary schedule follows the old index system, topping out for those with 25 or more years’ experience being paid 60 percent above the1 base. Administrative costs rise 13% A breakdown of the budget by categories shows that administration is up 13 percent, or $18,438. A state-mandated school census scheduled for this summer accounts for $3,000 of the increase. It is important that this census be done accurately, Dr. Gangel said, “For every child we miss we stand to lose $1,000.” Electronic mail from the Department of Education in Richmond, another state mandate, has led to increased telephone usage and an increase in that budget category of $2,100, Dr. Gangel explained. This change also accounts for at least part of the $1,000 increase for stationery and office supplies, he added. Funding for “Instruction” increased eight percent, or $176,649. At $2.4 million this category accounts for more than half of the budget. This category covers the salaries not only of teachers, but also of building principals, assistant principals, school secretaries and teachers’ aides. In addition to salary increases, this category has been increased by the addition of a part-time guidance counselor at the elementary school, another addition required by state law. The state has agreed that As sistant Principal Mary Ann Biggs, who is a former high school guidance counselor, can continue to serve half-time as guidance counselor. Book rental subsidy asked In addition, Dr. Gangel is asking for $11,138 to supplement the county’s book rental system. Current charges to parents of $4 per book for high school students and rates of $27 for elementary students from kindergarten through grade three and $37 for students in grades four through seven have not been paying the full cost of books purchased each year. Next year many new books, including a whole new series of books for teaching reading, are due to be adopted. Without a supplement from the county, the rental rates will have to be raised drastically. Dr. Gangel explained. Cost of fringe benefits increases The category of fixed charges, which includes fringe benefits for all employees except cafeteria workers is up 13 percent. Most of this category is related directly to salaries, but instead of the current system of offering employees an amount equal to three percent of their salaries to be applied to health insurance, next year Dr. Gangel proposes to offer an amount equal to 70 percent for the single subscriber rate for Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Some employees who have health insurance elsewhere have chosen to have their three percent applied to special cancer and disability policies offered by American Family Life r —11 * ■■■ ■■ and Mutual of Omaha. Others have had the school’s contribution applied to tax-deferred annuities (TDAs). TDAs will not be allowed as fringe benefits under new1 tax laws, so those people will be allowed to choose policies offered by American Family Life or Mutual of Omaha. Those currently in those programs will be allowed to stay in them, but new employees will be offered only the Blue Cross/Blue Shield option. Another reason for this year’s budget crunch is the state’s lower funding for fixed charges. Last year the county received $300,166 from the state specifically for fixed charges. Next year we will receive $290,214. A new funding system came into effect last year produced by JLARC (Joint Legislative and Review Commission). “Fixed charges are one of the things the state is trying to back away from by the new JLARC method of funding — each year less money,” Dr. Gangel said. Equipment requested for the elementary school indudes $1,000 for a trophy case, $1,500 for lights for the parking lot and $1,300 for a set of lockers for another classroom. At the high school $650 is being requested for additional shelving for the library, $4,700 for software and tools for the technology department and $5,000 to install a computer network. Teachers concerned about changes After Dr. Gangel’s presentation, School Board Chairman Beverly Massie asked if the Board members had any questions.

The teachers who have been working for years with their aides “are upset about losing them. They thought the program was very successful, and the change seems to be overwhelming,” she said. She said the aides also were concerned that they might not have the skills. “We want to do everything we can do to try to soften the situation,” Dr. Gangel said. He explained that the proposed changes would make it possible to bring the TMR student back from Madison, to provide dutyfree lunch for all teachers and to provide remedial education for kindergarteners and first-graders. “I’m sensitive to their concerns, but a TMR child benefits more from being in a classroom than being on the road. I will do what I can to accommodate the concerns," he said. “I appreciate your concern,” Mrs. Butler concluded. High school math teacher and teachers’ representative Helen LaCava said that the Rappahannock County Education Association would speak next week, but that she wanted to note Tuesday night that she appreciated the work that had gone into the preparation of the budget, “and I hope you and the supervisors will appreciate it. We have had a greater response to our thoughts and our requests on what we wrant included than we have in the past, and we w’ant that noted.” Mrs. Massie announced that next Tuesday anyone who wishes to comment on the budget will be given three minutes to do so, and after everyone who wishes to speak has spoken, then those who wish to make additional comments will be allowed another two minutes each. Those w7ho call and let the School Board office know they wish to comment will be allowed to speak first, she added. Council Continued from page 1 Transportation for permission to use the department’s right-of-way. In Madision, he said, those negotiations took six months. He estimated that, should an agreement with the town be reached, installing the service would take “six months to one year.” Mr. Reynolds told the council that Mr. Pancner had given him a copy of a sample ordinance which had been drafted for Madison County. Mr. Reynolds said that he and Mr. McCarthy are reviewing the proposed ordinance, and have “tailored it somewhat to the needs of the town and the county.” Council member William Wickens warned that he sees, “a serious mistake ... a disservice to the people of the county and the town” if a franchise for cable TV is awarded without competitive bidding. “There is a dramatic effect on services and rates when you compare competitive and non-competitive bids.” VFD gets $3,000 Mayor Morehouse told the council that a letter from Chief Roger Roach and President Gene Leggett, chief and president of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, requests a donation to the department to help them with the cost of their new Advanced Life Support ambulance. “They have spent a lot of money, and they need a lot of money,” the mayor said. “The council earmarked money, and it’s time to spend it.” In this year’s budget, the council appropriated $4,000 for the fire department.

The appropriation, with the stipulation that it be put toward the de • partment’s new ambulance, was approved unanimously. Ordinances recommended Mr. Wiekens, who is the chairman of the town’s Planning Commission, reported that the planners have recommended two ordinances to the council following a public hearing. One, he said, would require smoke detectors in all hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, apartments and buildings used for offices. The other, he said, would allow for the expansion of the Architectural Review' Board from its present three members to five.
