Old Rag Bulletins District has first Lyme case A 21 -month-old Culpeper County boy is the health district's first victim of tickborne Lyme disease, district health director Dr. John Einarson announced last week. The youngster apparently contracted the illness while his family was vacationing in southeastern Virginia. Dr. Joanne Owens, the health director for that area, said that there had been no reports of Lyme disease yet this year but that cases had been verified last year. According to Dr. Einarson, the boy is under a physician's care and is responding well to treatment with antibiotics. Early detection and aggressive treatment of Lyme disease with antibiotics has proven to be the best defense against the later, more serious manifestations of the illness, the health chief added. For more information about Lyme disease contact your doctor or the Rappahannock County Health Department (675-3516). Hunter education course The Virginia Game Commission will sponsor a Hunter Education Course in August, with the dates set tentatively for Aug. 5 and 6. According to Game Warden Jim Bankston, pre-registration for the class is now required, and it will not be taught if there are not 10 people who express interest. Warden Bankston reminds residents that the course is required of all first-time hunters and all hunters less than 16 years old. Proof of completion of a stateapproved hunter education course is required of all those hunters before a license will be issued. For more information, or to pre-register, call Game Warden Jim Bankston (937-5192). Stray dogs need homes The German shepherds collected by Dog Warden Ray Pullen have been moved from the county's rented dog pound to private quarters until homes can be found. Meanwhile, Warden Pullen has found another half-dozen dogs, including two Australian sheepdogs, two labradors and two mixed-breed hounds. For more information about adopting any of these animals, which desperately need loving homes, call Trish Drake (675-3443) or Warden Pullen (675-3331, Sheriff's Department, leave message).

Rain dampens celebration, washes out VFD fundraiser By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer For the people who looked forward to Tuesday’s Independence Day celebration in Washington, the afternoon rain meant merely an early trip home and dinner inside instead of a picnic on the lawn of Avon Hall. But for the members of Washington’s Volunteer Fire Department, who depend on the event as their only fundraiser of the year, Tuesday afternoon’s downpour was a major disaster. Chief Roger Roach said that the company “probably barely broke even” on the event, although the final figures were not available Wednesday morning. “We didn’t do well. The weather was an obvious factor.” Though frustrated by the weather, Chief Roach said he was pleased that the rain stopped long enough for the fireworks display. As he and Mayor Morehouse debated its cancellation Tuesday late afternoon, he repeated several times, “It just isn’t the Fourth of July without fireworks.” In 28 years, he told the mayor, only once had the evening fireworks display been cancelled. Wednesday morning he added, “I’m just happy the fireworks got off — we had promised everybody that they would.” Early risers reported rain before dawn Tuesday, but by 8 a.m. it had stopped. Although the skies remained overcast, Chief Roach and the other members of the department were hopeful that the rain would hold off until after the evening program and fireworks. ^ But all the planning went for naught as the skies opened shortly after 3 p.m., depositing a torrential downpour that emptied the town by Rappahannock News photos/Lou Hatter ONCE THE RAINS CAME, trees and even towels provided some protection from the torrential downpour. 5 p.m. “If it had just been a short thundershower we would have been alright,” Chief Roach said Tuesday evening. “The crowd held for about a half-hour, hoping it would stop. But when it just kept raining harder, they finally gave up and left.” The downpour cost the department about two-thirds of the day, since a good portion of the food sales have usually come from visitors who buy dinners to eat on the lawn while enjoying the evening entertainment and fireworks. Chief Roach reported that the event drew a good crowd before the rain, estimating that about 7,000 people visited during the morning and early afternoon. The weather hurt the artisans who booked space at the event as well, since many packed up to leave when the rain began. And, Chief Roach added, between 20 and 30 of the crafters just didn’t show up at all. The fireworks display, which was an off-again, on-again proposition See FOURTH, p. 12 CATV impact is debated By SHARON KILPATRICK . Rappahannock News Staff Writer An application for a special exception subdivision and the decision to move the Hampton District voting place to the Washington Fire Hall sailed through with no objection at the Board of Supervisors’ public hearings Monday evening, but the cable TV ordinance and Potomac Edison’s upgrading of power lines ran into opposition. “Will cable TV require a tower?” Tom Von Fange of Sperryville asked. “It will require a tower or a satellite dish,” County Administrator John McCarthy said. “You need to protect the county’s looks,” Mr. Von Fange said. “How much control do you have to keep the county clean of large, machinery-looking things bn top of mountains?” Commonwealth Attorney Peter Luke told him the county could control this when a company came in and applied for a franchise. The franchise would stipulate what equipment would be put in. Also the zoning ordinance would have to be followed. A tower might not be needed, and satellite dishes could be screened, he said. “My second concern is what cable can bring into the county,” Mr. Von Fange said. "Can Rappahannock County set up a community standard? I’m concerned about the Playboy channel.” “The county does not have editorial control over what appears on cable,” Mr. Luke replied. “Except that the county does have the right to prohibit ‘obscene’ material. Also the county can require that a franchise put ‘lock boxes’ so that parents can prevent their children from watching certain channels. Beyond that we’re in a very hazy area.” Noting that the School Board had just adopted a Family Life Education curriculum “to try to guide our young people so they’ll respect people,” Mr. Von Fange said, “The Playboy channel could destroy that in a few minutes. We’re not Las Vegas; we’re not Atlantic City. I’m all for clear reception, but we want to protect our children.” “We’ve reserved to ourselves the broadest powers we can. We do have the maximum protection we can write into the law,” Mr. Luke said. Mr. Von Fange wanted to know if the community could form a committee with a large representative group to try to “determine what is obscene.” Mr. Luke said he was uncertain if the decisions of such a group could be enforced as law. “I think what he’s talking about is open sex," Ann Fox of Sperryville said. “Anybody would understand that’s obscene.” “There must be some way this board can prevent this,” Mr. Von Fange said. “This is not just playful sex scenes; this is outright perversion. I understand about the lock box, but I have no control over my kids when I'm at work and they’re at a neighbor’s house.” After more discussion, Mr. Luke agreed that at the time of a Cable franchise application it might be possible to specify that certain channels not be included in the service. 1 think the gentleman is suggesting we have a board of censors,” said Jesse Pond of Sperryville. "A lock box will not keep your children from seeing X-rated movies, but it is hard to define obscenity. I saw something on 60 Minutes that was extremely obscene. It was a mutilated body . . . I’m warning people about a board of censors. I don’t know what you can do about it. There are some interesting things on cable TV. There is a sports channel where you can watch such things as arm wrestling and sewer lid tossing. ’’ “I’m against cable TV coming in at all," said Jon Heddleston of Sperryville. He said one basis for his objection was economics. “You have a lot of families in Rappahannock who make $10,000 or less per year. In my opinion those families will want that cable.” He suggested that with a base rate of $19.95 and with extra services costing $6 to $10 each many families would be spending $J0 or $40 per month for TV. “A lot of those families don’t have a toilet, but they have TV, and they’ll get that cable.” See OBJECTipNS, p. 12 Cartoonist sees a chance to make a difference By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Special Writer As long as there are things wrong in this country, I’ll be cartooning,” promised John Kilhefner, the editorial cartoonist for the Rappahannock News. He says he’s not out to change the world but rather to encourage change. “One of the greatest benefits of cartooning is you can get your idea across without being nasty. And I have some strong ideas,” he said. Not just on national issues, either. With his pens, Kilhefner has drawn his position on such locally contentious matters as the county’s proposal to swap the library building for Washington’s town hall, the gypsy moth problem, Jackson District’s outspoken representative on the board of supervisors, family life education, and the proposed addition to the county jail. “Washington is a great town,” he said, amplifying a little on the latter, “It would be a shame to ruin it by adding an addition to the jail. Millions have been spent on towns like Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Fredericksburg to keep them looking colonial. Washington has a natural old-fashioned touch. The jail compliments the town; if an addition were built, it might detract from that. I think a jail should be built outside of town.” Currently he does cartoons for four weekly newspapers: the Rappahannock News, The Fauquier Democrat, the Madison Eagle, and the Greene County Record. The majority of the time, the editors give him an idea to work with. But left to his own devices, he can still find plenty of topics, as last week’s attention on the national illiteracy problem illustrates. Kilhefner does his cartooning in the basement of his house at the crossroads of Rappahannock, Culpeper, and Fauquier counties. His only materials are a small desk, a sketch pad, and some pencils. “It’s usually a one-shot deal. I don’t make a rough draft. I just sit down with my pencil and sketch it out.” He has been cartooning since he was 11. “There were four of us in Ephrata, Pennsylvania and we would get together at each other’s homes and do comic strips. Our favorite strips were Joe Palooka and Dick Tracy.” As soon as he was old enough, Kilhefner joined the Navy. He served as a gunner on a merchant ship, and when World War II was over he went to school under the See KILHEFNER, p. 12 Joe McCullough for the Rappahannock News JOHN KILHEFNER

Avtex restructuring costs 494 jobs Firm blames environmental rules, public pressure By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer RICHMOND — Avtex Fibers Front Royal. Inc. submitted a plan to Circuit .Judge T.'j. Markow in Richmond last week that would significantly scale down the company’s production, but the plan might have come too late to save the dilapidated rayon plant. Just 3>/2 hours before its scheduled appearance in Warren County Circuit Court to answer charges that it continues to violate an agreement with the State Water Control Board to cease polluting the Shenandoah River, the company released a statement announcing its plans to shut down five of the eight rayon production lines. “The imposition of environmental requirements by authorities of the Commonwealth of Virginia far in excess of those anticipated by the company, in combination with unanticipated business circumstances and community pressures, have left Avtex management with no choice but to severely downscale and restructure our operations and to reduce the variety of products we manufacture,” said John Gregg, chairman of Avtex. The result is the loss of 494 company jobs and more than $11 million annually in payroll and medical benefits. Despite the reduction plan, which will cut the company nearly in half, the plant would have to close its doors if the court finds it in contempt and requires it to pay the $2 million fine immediately, according to Avtex attorney Timothy G. Hayes. “If the court finds them in contempt, under the present wording of the decree, that puts them out of business,” said Hayes. Water violations claimed The State Water Control Board has accused Avtex of 99 violations of its water discharge permit and of violating a consent decree that settled a $19.7 million lawsuit last fall. Since signing the decree, the plant has continued to release toxic chemicals and acids into the south fork of the Shenandoah River. The company contends, however, that there have been no pollutants discharged into the river duringthe month of June. While admitting that violations were made, Hayes claimed that Murphy's Law was the culprit that kept the company from complying with the consent decree. “What it all boils down to is forseeability and impossibility,” Hayes told the judge. A series of unexpected breakdowns of the system occurred after the company made the agreement with the state, reported Hayes. “Avtex made its tyest efforts with the plant that it had,” said Hayes. The judge delayed making a judgment on the case earlier this month until he had viewed the plant operations himself on June 13. Impressed by the magnitude of the problems at the plant, the judge requested a timetable for making the repairs and financial information to determine the company’s ability to pay for them. The Avtex attorney requested that if the judge were to find the company in contempt, that he modify the existing order so that it would not automatically be imposed. Clean up: $14 million The company estimates that the total cost of repairs necessary to comply with the consent decree and other mandated clean-up projects would reach $14 million, an amount the company does not have, according to Fitzhugh Wickham, vice president of operations at Avtex. Repairs include short-term measures necessary to prevent process contaminations from reaching the storm sewer. Those measures include the installation of spill prevention equipment, alarms, level controls, monitors,» and automatic shutoffs. Also necessary is the repair of the acid reclaim floors in order to prevent contaminants from leaking through the floors to groundwater and the sewer line. With the newly-structured plant, the amount of repair costs would decrease to $9 million. “We vastly simplified the operation,” explained Richard H. Hughes, vice president of administration at Avtex. Changes in the company The company will continue to produce specialized yarns for military, space program and medical use as well as polypropylene fibers used in disposable diaper products. The production of commodity fibers will be drastically reduced and the manufacture of high wet modulus fibers, used by the clothing industry, will be eliminated. Employment at the plant has been reduced to 706 workers. "We will serve only a handful of customers," said Hughes. “We will no longer try to compete in a world-wide market for broad-based products." The State Water Control Board, however, speculated that the cost of making repairs for a new permit would range from $8 million-$15 million. In addition, the company did not address the cost of repairs and violations before the State Air Control Board and the Environmental Protection Agency. Reliability questioned Deputy Attorney General R. Claire Guthrie, representing the State Water Control Board, questioned the company’s reliability in meeting compliance. "I can’t tell you that we won’t be back here in two months,” Guthrie told the judge. The likelihood of compliance depends on how well Avtex is able to manage its new company, said William Kregloe, State Water Control Board engineer. When asked by the judge what remedy the state would propose, Guthrie responded, "I would like for you to enforce the bargain that we agreed to.” “The state is not out for a pound of flesh. The purpose of penalties is to facilitate enforcement," said Guthrie. “Virginia businesses need to know that the State Water Control Board is serious about compliance. ” Guthrie hedged on the question of a modified agreement, saying the decision was up to the judge. In light of the new financial information and restructuring plan, Judge Markow, who said- he had intended to make a decision on Friday, postponed a ruling. “I’ve really got to give some thought to where we are going from here,” said Judge Markow. The judge maintained that his chief objective is “to insure that the river remains clean and not polluted.” Regardless of the judge’s decision, company officials have said that the decision to restructure is permanent. "The recent barrage of criticism from certain state and local officials that has been reported widely in the media seriously compromised our ability to compete in the marketplace,” said Gregg. “We have found it nearly impossible to recruit qualified workers to fill vacant positions, our customers and potential customers have questioned whether the state would allow us to remain open, and our valued workers have felt shunned ip their own communities," added Gregg. A series of battles The company has faced a series of battles in recent months. Avtex’s emission of carbon disulfide was found in excess of the state ambient air concentration level in a recent hearing before the State Air Pollution Control Board. The company was given 60 days to submit a plan for reduced emissions. Hughes said that he did not view the air control board violation as a major problem for Avtex. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency has requested that Avtex submit a $10 million treatment plan to clean up groundwater contaminated by the company’s waste viscose basins.

East St., Culpeper 825-8371 Water studies focus on pesticide runoff By MARY K. BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers State Writer RICHMOND — Since the recent Alar apple scare, Virginians' awareness of agricultural pesticide use has been heightened. Many consumers are making a more conscious effort to rinse their' fruits and Vegetables before eating them. Others are going even further by seeking out organically grown crops. However, a subject that seems to have received less attention is the contamination of ground water by pesticides used in agriculture. Researchers are continuing to study the possibility that the use of agricultural pesticides might pose a threat to human health. "We think it's an emerging problem," said Allen Hammer, director of the State Division of Water Supply Engineering. More than 40 percent of Virginia's 5.4 million residents rely on ground water for their drinking water, according to Diana Weigmann, assistant director of research and administration at the Virginia Water Resources Research Center (VWRRC). Some 04 of the state’s 95 counties rely on ground water to supply 50 percent or more of their drinking water. Residents of 47 counties and live independent cities rely completely on ground water for their water supply, said Weigrnann. Ground water, the water below-the earth’s surface that supplies wells, is usually untreated. "Most people believe they should be able to use ground water without any treatment," said Hammer. In recent years, though, there has been growing concern and evidence that ground water is not as pure as it was once thought to be. The presence ol pesticides was found in ground water samples taken from the town of Berryville in Clarke County. The Shanandoah Valley is characterized by karst, an irregular limestone in which erosion has produced sinkholes, caverns and underground streams. Because of the traits of the terrain, pesticides can easily enter the ground water. In the Northern Neck’s Nominy Creek, 14 herbicides and seven insecticides were found in well samples. Three of the 14 herbicides exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s health advisory level. The Resources for the Future group reported that in Virginia an average of 2.4 million killigrams of pesticides are used each year. The reason is economic. Farmers depend on pesticides to increase their yield as well as improve the appearance of the product. Without pesticides, the production of crops would be "more costly, the supply would be less certain, and the quality would be lower," said Paul Denton, professor at the University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service. "You can’t have worm holes in a tomato — nobody’s going to buy it," said Bernard Chudoba of the state Department of Agriculture. "We’ve become more dependent on pesticides," said Eiden. Farmers are rotating their crops less frequently, and monoculture has become the norm. When hundreds of acres of corn are planted, “if gestation occurs, you’re wiping out a lot of money," said Eiden. “Much of the documented environmental contamination from pesticides comes not from misuse or careless application, but from their repeated use over vast tracts of land,” WEST END SHELL □pen under new management Andy R.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JULY 6,1989 Editorial The jail addition Next Wednesday, Washington’s Town Council will consider the county’s appeal of the Architectural Review Board’s decision to deny approval of its addition to the county jail. The denial, on a split vote of the ARB’s three members, was based on concerns that the building’s “historically significant” chimneys would be obscured and perhaps damaged by the addition. ARB Chairman Carol Miller also cited reservations about the county’s plan to remove the building’s summer kitchen, which is now attached to the west side of the building, where the addition will be added. The county has since agreed to move the summer kitchen to the vacant lawn between the jail and the clerk’s office, where it will serve the double purpose of a storage building which also screens the jail’s exercise yard. The major objection, apparently, remains the possible impact on the jail’s twin chimneys. We feel that, although the chimneys would be affected, they are already partially obscured by the summer kitchen. In any case, they would be repeated with a pair of identical chimneys on the end of the addition, which would emphasize their importance to the building. In general, we think that the planned addition appears to be a sensitive attempt to balance the needs of an expanding county government with the real and valid concerns of the Town of Washington for perserving its acrhitectural heritage; which contributes greatly to the appealing atmosphere of the town. Perhaps the most salient observation on the matter was made by Council member William Wickens at its May meeting. Mr. Wickens was the author of the original Historic District Ordinance, which was passed after the town became a Historic District. “We have one of the least restrictive (Historic District) ordinances . . . ,” Mr. Wickens said. “The intent of the ordinance was to keep people from putting up something garish — from turning the town into something nightmarish.” The county’s plan is hardly that. We hope that, after hearing the presentations of both those who support the addition and those who feel that the building should be preserved as it is, that the council will find the county’s plan to be reasonable and grant its application for a Certificate of Appropriateness.

Commentary Rappahannock News photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage A FAMILIAR FACE at Rappahannock County’s firemen’s parades, Walter Nichols of Sperryville carries the American flag in Amissville last week. Has the Communist threat disappeared? By JOHN L. MAROCCHI Rappahannock News Contributing Writer No international topic is more in the news today than the subject of this article. Nor should there be. Nothing currently has greater implications for world peace and for Jthe meaning of this week’s national holiday: the freedom and dignity and rights — this last matched with duties — of the individual; the concept of government to serve the people, not to be served by them. The disappearance of the Communist threat would not result in the perfect world, any more that Dr. Salk’s vaccine rid the United States of health problems. But it certainly would help! Two recent publications illustrate the popular answer to this question. Zbigniew7 Brzezinski’s The Grand. Failure: The Birth and Death of Communism in the Twentieth Century is one. Another, the June 19 issue of U. S. News & World Report, on its cover bears in very large type the three words, "Collapse of Communism.” So vital is this issue that every American should review the evidence on both sides. Everyone can speculate, but not even Gorbachev or Deng Xiaoping can give us the answer. A good place to start is with terms: What exactly is Communism? Members of the Soviet Party, indeed all ruling Communists in the world, often refer to themselves as Marxists-Leninists. It is a synonym for, a clearer way of saying, Communist, and we must understand that they take Communism and their Parties, their beliefs and missions, seriously. In his autobiography, Nikita Khrushchev wTote: “We Communists, we Marxists-Leninists, believe that progress is on our side and victory inevitably be ours. . . . how can we talk of peaceful coexis, tence with capitalist ideology? Peaceful coexistence among differ Perspective FORMED in 1633 FROM EllLFFFEi AND NiNEDFOIMimm RIVER. HEtD*® III THIS ent systems of government is possible, but peaceful coexistence among different ideologies is not. It would be a betrayal of our Party’s first principles. ...” The much admired Mr. Gorbachev said essentially the same thing recently at a major Party Congress in the Soviet Union. He remains a dedicated Marxist-Leninist. Marxism is the ideology, the belief system for Communists. Karl Marx, its principal author, published his seminal work in the middle of the nineteenth century. For Communists, his writings are the equivalent of the Bible for Christians. Marx’s studies led him to conclude that the economic system in every society controls and determines the character of everything: the customs, governments, laws, religions; that economic systems change and advance over time, in accordance with the unalterable laws he had discovered; and that the final stage of economic “advance” must be Communism, which follows capitalism. For the Communist there is no reason, and no room, for other beliefs. Leninism is the name given to the organizational side of Communism, the Party. It is analagous but not really comparable to the hierarchies of the organized Christian churches, the Sisters and Brothers, priests and ministers, bishops and archbishops; i. e. those who constitute the group’s framework, the teachers of faith (ideology), authoritative interpreters of basic writings, leaders and educators of the members; the people who discipline recalcitrants and keep the faith. Though more than an organizer, Lenin’s greatest contribution to Communism was his concept of the Party. In this, his work was brilliant. Creation of the “Party,” its organization, rules for members’ conduct and discipline, the methods used to achieve power — this work stands among the greatest social developments in history. “Greatest” here measures the impact of his creation on humanity, not the good it has done! I said above the analogy' of the Party with religious hierarchies was imperfect; Americans easily understand that most church leaders influence their members’ religiously and then only with the members’ consent. Communist Parties exercise control over all aspects of members’ lives and beliefs, something few of us can understand or accept. We should, everyone should, understand Lenin’s organizational work and how it affects the people swept up in it. Read Whittaker Chambers’ Witness and you will never speak casually of Leninism again. Now to review the arguments on both sides of our topic. Those who believe that Communism is collapsing base their conclusion on the following: (1) Communist ideology is a failure ami has lost its appeal. (2) Communist rulers’ actions admit their failures. (3) Communists expected to win over most underdeveloped countries, the “Third World,” thereby gaining preponderant strength in the world. Here, too, the communist solution has failed or is failing. (4) Individual human rights, freedom and dignity are concepts whose appeal grows rapidly throughout the world. (5) Communism s grip on its people is constantly weakening, in part due to new techniques in communications. (6) The monolithic world Communist movement of the 1950s, based on shared dogma and obedience to Moscow, is gone. Many Communist parties, Yugoslav, Italian, French, Chinese, insist on following their own paths and openly criticize the Soviets. For all these reasons and more, Brezinski concludes, “. . . this not only signals the general crisis of communism, but also foreshadows its fading as a major political force in the contemporary world.” That sounds wonderful! If true, we need worry no longer. Much less can be spent for defense; forget such slogans as “Better Red than dead,” as neither will occur. Is the situation really that rosy? Listen first to the other side, to the reasons why some think Communism is entering its most threatening, dangerous phase. (1) First, the reasoning goes, current economic and political activity was forecast by Lenin. “We will launch the greatest peace offensive the world has ever seen,” he wrote, before his death in 1924. “The capitalists w ill fall over themselves to accept our proposals. . . . When they are sufficiently weakened, we will smash them with our clenched fist.” (2) Nor is this the first time the Communists have cozied up to the hated capitalists. In 1921 the Russian economy was nearly at a standstill. Lenin recognized the danger and decreed a “New Economic Policy.” Its purpose, the same as today’s, was to revive the economy. It was accomplished in the same ways: a partial return to free enterprise; encourage foreign investment; quietly assure key outside officials that. Communism having failed, it would gradually be abandoned. Does it sound familiar? The idea worked then. A year later the country was recovering. That phase did not last long, however. In 1928, with the Soviet economy growing nicely, Stalin decided to end the “mixed economy.” Within two years it was gone — until today, when Communists everywhere are falling behind and need help. More arguments come from a book published in 1984 and written by an ex-KGB (Soviet intelligence) officer, now an American citizen. Anatoly Golitsyn’s New Lies for Old tells a story so difficult to believe that few do, especially in this country where no secret can be kept. Golitsyn’s thesis is simple: as one involved in the work from the beginning, he says — providing supporting evidence — that between 1957 and 1960, the world’s Communist parties developed and agreed to a long range plan to defeat the Free World. Closely held within the top leaderships, it is based on a massive disinformation campaign: i. e., over many years the Communists-have led the Free World’s leaders and peoples to accept as true that which was not, and to disbelieve that which was! Many of the “cracks" in the Communist nomolith are “arranged” then: the Sino-Soviet split; the rise of democratic influence in Czechoslovakia and Poland; the gradual “softening” of the Soviet regime; and more. All of these, Golitsyn claims, are false, unreal, designed to mislead and weaken Communism’s enemies. But, he added, ". . . the ‘liberalization’ would be calculated and deceptive in that it would be directed from above. . . carried out by the party through its cells and individual members.” All this sounded impossibly imaginative when written — except that in Poland. Solidarity is joining the Government; U.S. defense spending is shrinking; our relations with allies are increasingly troubled; Sakharov is in the Soviet parliament; Gorbachev suggested during his recent visit to West Germany that the Berlin Wall might be demolished. It is not a bad lesson to keep in mind during this Independence Day week, and to remember that what some Chinese did in Tiananmen ,j Square a few weeks ago was not* done because they are Chinese; it was because they are Communists. Has the Communist threat disappeared? Maybe, maybe not. John Marocchi is a,retired Navy Admiral and Chairman of the county’s Republican committee. He lives in Sperryville.

-Ed Letters to the editor Prophecy foretold Chinese civil strife To the editor: In light of the news we have been getting from China for the last month or so, I think it would be appropriate to quote in full one translator s version of the poem for this year in the Chinese prophecy which I have mentioned from time to time in this column, the T’tti Pei T'u. Charles L. Lee says in his book, The Great Phrophecies of China: It is quite clear that it is the end of the game. Seeking a false security and a temporary peace, There are tears through smiling. It is not distinguishable Whether between ox and mouse or ox and sheep, Though sheared it’s skin is still tough: A real dragon will come forth. Yellow River water .will not be yellow. The first verse seems to imply that dictatorial communism has had its day in China. The rulers, however, are doing what they hope will keep them in power a little longer. But while they are dismayed by the turn of events, they try to put up a good front. The second verse seems to say that presently one cannot tell the hard liners from the soft liners in the government, all are strongly conservative at this point. And that China, which has been compared to a sleeping dragon, is awakening. The last line is an idiomatic cliche which may be translated as "the times are out of joint.” It may also mean that the Yellow River is or will flow red with blood. Each poem has an attached hexagram from the I Citing, the Taoist scripture which amazed Carl Jung, and from which Liebnits derived the binomial system of arithmetic which is the basis of all computer programming. For the year 1989 is “Breakthrough," and it sounds like a recap of recent events in Beijing: Exibition of the culprit’s guilt in the royal courtyard. . . sincere and earnest appeal for sympathy and support, with a consciousness of the peril. . . . Make announcements in one’s own city. It will not be well to have recourse to arms. It has another important line which speaks of a ruler who has been previously punished, and who walks with difficulty, who should allow himself to be led, but wrould not believe these words even if he should hear them. And that description fits Deng pretty accuratly, I think. Political evolution follows a course ordained by God. Humans overcome their animal nature as they begin to grow in spirit. The Family of God is like a fuedal town where the great lord is the father of all the villagers and their mothers are all daughters of the great lord’s wife. The son of the feudal rulers lived among the villagers and told them of their relationship to the castle dwellers. Then he returned to his home. Some of the people believed his message, that they, too, were part of the royal family, and accepted the many gifts and the new life which the lord and his lady offered all their children. Others scoffed and said it was not so. The servants who lived in the castle denounced the message as a misquoting or misunderstanding of the son. They believed that they were the only true children in the family. The villagers squabbled among themselves until they all came to know and to live the truth. And that’s the way our planet is. PETER B. HOLLEY Boston Little League thanks fans To the editor The Rappahannock Athletic Association wishes to express thanks to all the fire people who have attended the ballgames at Stuart Field in Amissville and Rappahannock Field at the Elementary School. Your support of these kids has greatly excited each and every one of them, their families, the coaches and everyone involved. Little League baseball is growing in Rappahannock County and the RAA would like to thank all the supporters and sponsors for this growth. Many individuals have given their time and finanical support to our league and many businesses have expressed interest in sponsoring a team. As the season was delayed this year due to unexpected growth and the structuring of new teams and different age groups, sponsors were not approached and their support was not solicited as we would have liked. However, with the excitement building as the season draws to a close in the next few weeks, each merchant, or proprietor or even individuals, with the desire to help the youth of our community might consider sponsoring a team for next year. Babe Ruth, Bambino major and minor league and T-ball baseball is a real good thing just looking for a place to happen. Lets make Rappahannock county that special place. Thanks for all your support. For more information about Little League baseball, including how to sponsor a team, contact Don Dorrell (987-9249) or Chervl Diggs (9375157).

Attend Church Sunday This week's message brought to you courtesy of: Pastor John K. Burke, Jr. Gid Brown Bible Church Washington, Virginia THE PATHWAY TO PROSPERITY TEXT: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but who so confesseth anil forsaketh them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28:13 We see in II Samual chapter 11 the awful sin of David. In chapter 12, David repents of that sin. That is what every Christian needs to do if they are going to be used of God and prosper. I. THE COST OF COVERED SIN A. Sin dirties the soul of men and women. In Psalm 51:1,2, David recognizes his sin problem. He asks God for mercy. Isn’t it wonderful that God’s mercy is still extended to everyone today? In verse 2, he says, "Wash me and cleanse me.” He wanted to be clean for the Lord. Dear Christian friend, if you are ever going to get any thing done for the Lord, you must be cleansed from sin. “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” (John 15:3) It is God’s Word that cleanses us. You might say that you don’t sin, but the Bible, which is God’s Holy Word says in I John 1:8, "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” He is talking to Christians in the epistle of John. 4 B. Sin dominates the mind. It rules the mind. David cries out in Psalm 51:3, “my sin is ever before me.” Dear friend, you cannot run from your sin. It is ever before you. You might leave the state or country and go some place else, but your sin will ever be before you until you confess it and forsake it. Confessing it is not enough, you must forsake it. You can get a prescription from the doctor, but until you have it filled and take the medication, it will not be any good to you. C. Sin depresses the heart. Psalm 51:8,12 speaks of David losing his joy. Verse 12 says he had lost the joy of his salvation. He didn’t say that he had lost his salvation, but his joy. This is why some people are depressed today. They have sinned and lost their joy. They stop witnessing for the Lord. They just give up because they have lost their joy. Friend, have you lost your joy? Don’t give up. Jesus did not give up on you and I. He went to Calvary and shed his precious blood so you and I could be born into the family of God by repenting of sin and coming to Jesus by faith. (I Peter 1:18,19; Ephesians 2:8,9) Maybe dear friend you are lost. Confessing your sin would not do you any good. You need to be pardoned of your sin. (Isaiah 55:7) Would you bow your head and repent of sin, Luke 13:3, and ask the Lord Jesus to save your soul? (Romans 10:13) He will save you. If I can be of help to you day or night, please call me at 675-3662. I would be happy to help you. We would like to extend a warm welcome to you to visit with us at the Gid Brown Bible Church. Come and hear the old fashion gospel preached. In the .17 years that we have been pastoring there, we have seen people saved and their lives changed. (II Cor. 5:17) Come and visit with us. May the Lord Bless you.

Americans scream for ice cream By SANDRA R. RICHARDSON America has traditionally celebrated with ice cream, ice cream parties were a custom long before our country’s founding. Ice cream’s origins extend as far back as Alexander the Great. Although ice cream has a colorful history, no specific date or personality has been credited with its actual creation. However, by piecing together incidents recorded over centuries, ice creams evolution is revealed as a combination of man’s natural attraction to cool, sweet foods and his creativity in satisfying that need. It is reported that Nero Claudius Caesar) A. D. 54-86) frequently sent teams of runners into the mountains to retrieve snow, which was then flavored with honey, fruits, and juices. Throughout the eighteenth century, ice cream gained tremendous popularity in Europe. Books were written heralding prize recipes. During the eighteenth century, ice cream was a rare and exotic dessert enjoyed only by the elite. Dolly Madison contributed to its stature when she served a magnificent strawberry ice cream creation for dessert at President Madison’s second inaugural banquet in 1812. Ice cream became an edible svm bol for morale during World War II, and each branch of the service tried elaborately to outdo one another in providing ice cream to the troops. In 1945, the first “floating ice cream parlor” was built by the Navy for sailors in the Western Pacific. The most common nostaglic vision is that of a hot fudge sundae, still the funning favorite in ice cream parlors and now a popular ending to diner menus. The bountiful topping of gooey chocolate sauce, whooshed with whipped cream and dotted with chopped nuts and topped with a cherry leads the lineup, but delicious new guises are popping up. Anything goes is the latest scoop in sundaes. A record of about 905 million gallons, just over 15 quarts per capita annual consumption, has been reached according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Toppings for sundaes range from ground coffee, granola, fresh fruit to chow mein crunchies and almost sinful truffles. Ice creams too have become more sophisticated as manufacturers compete closely, producing new exotic flavors and richer textures. Caramel sauce 1 cup brown sugar 1 2 cup granulated sugar 2 Tbsp. light corn syrup \>2 cup butter 1 cup light cream Cooking with 1 tsp. vanilla Combine all ingredients, except vanilla, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 3 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Cool slightly. Serve warm on cake, pudding or ice cream. Makes 1 1/2 cups. Chocolate fudge sauce 1/2 cup cocoa 0 1 cup sugar 1 cup light com syrup 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup cream 1/4 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla Combine all ingredients except vanilla in a saucepan.

Tributes 77 To our beloved son, Bobby Lynn Smoot, Jr., who was taken away from us three years ago July 3,1986. Son we will always hold you close in our hearts no matter how long it has been One day we will see one another again and it will be then we will hold you near and say we love you. Sadly missed Daddy, Mommy and Joshua In loving memory of my son, Ronald L. Pullen, who departed this life two years ago, July 9, 1987. Two years have passed since that fateful day When the word came you had passed away I couldn't believe that it was true I always believed I would have you. You have been taken from , this earth And from me you did depart But I know each day, you are living in my heart I can't see you laugh or hear you talking, But sometimes I think I can see you walking, So straight and tall, you would come hurrying through, To say "Good morning, how are you?" From birth and all through the years I saw you through good times and bad And through the Vietnam conflict Which we should've never had. Blessings from God brought you safely home If we put our trust in Jesus we are never alone My love and memories of you stay very near Sleep on in the Lord, and I will see you Again, my Son, so Dear. Sadly missed every day Mom Frances Pullen Legal 80 Notices Effective July 13, 1989 The Village Cafe in Washington will be under new ownership.

Accident kills one The torrential rains which swept the county Tuesday evening were blamed as a contributing factor in a two-car accident which killed an Edinburg man. According to Trooper S.A. Hawkins, Wayne Mcllwee, 82, was travelling north on U.S. 522 about .7 miles north of its intersection with Massies Comer. His 1984 Pontiac apparently began hydroplaning on the slick pavement, causing Mr. Mcllwee to lose control of the car. The car crossed the center line of the roadway and slammed head-on > into a 1987 Mercedes, driven ■ by Lloyd A. Forbush, 40, of Flint Hill. Mr. Forbush’s car then ran off the right side of the road and struck a tree. Mr. Mcllwee was apparently killed by the impact, and was pronounced dead on the scene by Rappahannock County medical examiner Dr. Werner Rrebser. Mr. Forbush and his passenger, Sandra M. Forbush, were taken to Warren Memorial Hospital in Front Royal. Mr. Forbush was treated and released, and Mrs. Forbush was listed in satisfactory condition Wednesday morning with a back injury. Trooper Hawkins said that no charges will be filed in the accident. His report stated that Mr. Mcllwee was apparently not wearing his seatbelt. Mr. Forbush was protected by the airbags in his Mercedes, and his wife was wearing a seat belt and shoulder harness. The trooper listed damage to the Mercedes at $25,000. Fire and rescue personnel from Flint Hill, Amissville, Washington, Sperryville and Chester Gap responded to the accident. Objections Continued from page 1 Mr. Heddleston said another objection he had was that “youth watch too much TV.” The high school English teacher said he had given one student athlete a ride home one day, and the ballplayer’s major concern seemed to be that he arrive home in time to watch a certain movie on television. “If I’m not mistaken that student failed this year,” he said. “If we pay more for something, we’re going to watch more.” He said he was also concerned about the Playboy channel and MTV (the music video channel). He said that when he and Mr. Von Fange were working to get X-rated videos out of Sperryville’s video rental store, they learned that children as young as six were watching X-rated movies. “I’ve seen X-rated movies,” he said. “If we spend too much time watching, it’s going to affect any one of us. MTV is promoting suicide, devil worship and unbridled sex. Our constitution does not grant unbridled freedom. “We have a new landfill to take care of our trash. We don’t want a lot of trash coming in to pollute our children’s minds and adults’ minds too,” Mr. Heddleston said. “This ordinance does not require you to ever put in a franchise,” Mr. Luke said. “Now you have no control at all. If you want to do that, you’d better pass an ordinance like this. Now you have the creeping in of cable companies from adjoining counties.” “I have to agree with Peter,” Board Chairman Hubert Gilkev said. “We need something in writing when these people come in and apply for one.” “I agree we need an ordinance,” said Stonewall-Hawthom representative Robert Anderwson. “I have the same fears Tom and Jon do. These things are out there, but now people have to buy a satellite dish to receive them.” The Board of Supervisors voted to table the ordinance until the August meeting. The hearing on the power line was for information only, Mr. McCarthy noted. Assistant Division Manager Harry Saufley and Area Engineering Supervisor Pete Jackson attended to answer questions. Mr. Saufley said that Potomac Edison was replacing all the poles on ALL YOU CAN EAT SPECIALS Fried Shrimp & *12.95 Spiced Shrimp Fried Oysters & *16.25 Fried Scallops Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 4 P.M. - 9 P.M.

Main St. Downtown Front Royal 635*7303 the main line from Sperryville to Front Royal with poles 10 to 15 taller and with a shield wire on top. He said they were concerned about the safety of the line itself. “It’s quite old,” he said. He said that the power surge in January that damaged a lot of electronic equipment in the area aroung Washington was caused when a “higher voltage line ran into a lower voltage line.” “That line is only two feet from my house,” Mrs. Fox said. “With poles 15 to 20 feet high, if a line came down in a storm, it would burn my house down.” We can look at relocating the line,” Mr. Saufley said. “I’m on a hill. We have high winds. That metallic line is obscene to have to look at,” Mrs. Fox said. “Are you taking down every old pole and replacing it with a higher pole?” Susan Babcock of Flint Hill asked. The power company spokesmen said they would do just that. “Have you thought of putting the line underground?” Mrs. Babcock wanted to know. Mr. Jackson said that would cost five to seven times as much as aboVe ground wires. “Our rates are based on overhead service,” Mr. Saufley said. Mrs. Babcock then asked if there was anywhere she could go to see what the line would look like when it was finished. After some thought the pow'er company representatives said there was a similar line coming from the Pratt substation in Madison County. Mr. Anderson asked if the shield wire was aluminum. "Yes,” Mr. Saufley said. "It dulls with age, doesn’t it?” Mr. Anderson asked. “Yes,” Mr. Saufley said, “but it takes time.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie suggested that the power company work with landowners wrhen improving the line. He suggested that they consider moving poles out of the middle of fields and closer to fence lines or “in rock piles I can’t farm anyway.” He suggested they also time their work so they don’t ruin crops.

Kilhefner Continued from page 1 G.I. bill and studied commercial art and cartooning. He took a correspondence course at the Washington School of Art, and then he attended Glenwood Hall in Patterson, New Jersey. While he was in school, Kilhefner worked at General Electric where he became involved in the labor movement. “They had a union there, the UAW (United Auto Workers), which published a newspaper. I did the cartooning. When I was a boy, I was always told that all unions and Democrats were bad. So at first I just wanted a vehicle for my work, but the more I found out about the labor movement, the more interested I became,” he said. Kilhefner became so interested that he served six years as president of the local union. He was also invited to join the labor program at Rutgers University. “This was in the mid 1960’s and a lot of students throughout the nation were demonstrating and defacing their schools. I wasn’t against what they were doing, but it wasn’t for me. Going to Rutgers was like going to heaven. It had always been a dream of mine,” he said. He spent three years at Rutgers. Then in 1968 Kilhefner received a call from the African-American Labor Center asking if he would be interested in going to Ethiopia. He was on the next flight to Africa. His job was to educate workers about free labor and Democracy. “Because of the almost 90 percent illiteracy rate, we had to teach these people with as simple means as possible — cartooning." Kilhefner spent almost 15 years in Africa, travelling all over the continent to Ethiopia, Botswana, Liberia, and other places that are just names in National Geographic articles to most people. With his cartoons he taught financing, collective bargaining, grievance handling, and other tools of democracy. In 1985, he reached the mandatory retirement age, and although he felt more than able and was more than willing to continue, he was forced to leave his African post. It was not an easy home coming. “I was used to illiteracy in Africa,” he said, recalling his return to the U.S. and a home in Fairfax, Virginia. “But I was floored when I found it in America. It seemed to have gotten worse during the time I was away.” Kilhefner blames the problem on America’s lack of priorities. “Athletes and actors are paid millions to entertain us but teachers, who mold our children’s minds, are barely paid enough to survive.” Kilhefner applauded Dexter Manley, the Washington Redskin’s all-pro defensive lineman, for going public with his reading problem. “It took a lot of courage for him to do that. As a role model to thousands of young kids he’s given them courage to tackle their problems." Kilhefner moved to Amissville in December 1986, with his wife Hannah and their five children: Samuel, 12, Kevin, 10, Brenda, 8, Freddy, 6, and Johnny, 3. “When I came here, I didn’t know there was a need for cartoons in the area’s weekly newspapers.” He had applied for a job as a graphic artist at the Fauquier Democrat. But when he went in for an interview' they told him the position was already filled. “As I was leaving I asked the general manager, John Toler, if he might be interested in editorial cartoons, and his eyes lit up. The rest, as they say, is history." The cartoonist loves his job. “It’s not something I thought I’d be doing at this stage in my life, especially on a regular basis. Even if I w'asn't being published, I’d cartoon every now and then just to let off steam. “One of the hardest things about cartooning is convincing your wife that you are working wrhen she finds you staring out the window. Oftentimes my wife tells me to go cut the grass if I can’t find something to do!” He doesn’t read many of today’s cartoons. “They are so far ahead of what I’m used to,” Kilhefner explained. He does keep up with some old favorites though, like Oliphant, Herb Block, and Peanuts. Kilhefner says he will always be cartooning. It’s how he expresses himself. “I’m like Charlie Brown: ‘It really doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you’re sincere’.” “SERENITY” - east of Washington, Va. 6 viewful acres, very private.

Mayor Dean Morehouse explained that safety was the biggest concern, because with the high humidity which accompanied the thunderstorms the rockets couldn’t gain sufficient height. “We were disappointed that we couldn’t have the evening festivities,” Mayor Morehouse said Wednesday. He apologised that the status of the fireworks display was not widely known, so that more people couldn’t enjoy them. “In the future, the word is, “We’ve got 28 years of tradition, and if there is any way to get the fireworks display off, we’ll get it off. “And we are really disappointed that the rain dampened the fire department’s fundraiser. Obviously a lot of money goes into putting this on, and that doesn’t even include the countless hours spent planning before the Fourth — and with the rain it just really takes the wind out of their sails. “T inst hnnp ” thp mavnr aHHpfi “that people realize that this puts the fire department in a difficult position, since the money that they anticipated to run the department for the next year didn’t come through.” Perhaps, he suggested, people who didn’t attend the celebration because of the weather, or who left early, might donate part of the money they intended to spend there to the department anyway. “There’s a lot of blood, sweat and tears that goes into this. They give their time freely, but the reward they get is the oney they put in the bank to help serve the community. When they don’t get that — it’s discouraging.” “It was a disappointment,” Chief Roach agreed, “for us and for a lot of other people.” Tentative plans have been discussed for another event later this summer to mark the 240th birthday of the Town of Washington, and to help the fire department recoup some of the investment lost Tuesday. Saturday, Aug. 19 has been set as a possible date, and the fire department is investigating the possibility of setting up a late afternoon and evening program.
