43nd Year, No. 5 12 pages Member Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1991 4Washington, Virginia - Phone 675-3338 50 cents *+} War briefs Prayer services for peace As the war in the Persian Gulf continues, so will the weekly prayer services for peace. Held each Wednesday at noon at Trinity Episcopal Church and at 7:30 p.m. at Washington Baptist Church, the interdenominational services are led by the Rev. Jennings Hobson III and the Rev. Darrell Bare.-“This is something that we offer to the entire community,” the Rev. Hobson said. The services will continue as long as the Gulf war continues, he added. IRS grants combat waiver The Persian Gulf has been designated a combat zone, which entitles servicemen there to several federal tax relief provisions, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The combat zone includes Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, * Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Persian Gulf, Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, certain parts of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden. • All military personnel and their spouses will be granted an automatic l*80-day extension following their departure from the combat zone to file their 1990 tax returns. No penalties or interest will be charged during this period. • The pay of enlisted personnel serving in the combat zone is exempt from income tax, as is the pay of commissioned officers, up to a maximum of $500 per month. The exemption also includes any period of hospitalization which results from illness or iryury received while in the combat zone. • In the event of the death of any member of the armed forces in the combat zone, no federal income tax is due for the year of their death, or for any other year in which they served in the combat zone. Also, any unpaid tax for years prior to service in the combat zone is forgiven. • Spouses and families of • active duty military personnel serving in Operation Desert Storm with questions about the tax relief provisions triggered by President Bush’s Jan. 17 declaration should contact the IRS, toll-free, (800) TAX-1040 for additional information or assistance. If they receive correspondence about any collection or audit matter covered by the relief provisions, they should contact the IRS immediately so that the action is suspended. Old Rag Bulletins Town council seeks comments Washington's Town Council is planning an informal public hearing at its Wednesday, Feb. 13 meeting to hear comments from town residents about a legislative agenda for the council. "In the past, we have been generally reactive to problems," said Mayor Dean Morehouse. The council wants residents to offer suggestions about the problems facing the town and how they should be addressed. As war continues, so does families' vigil %5' “'$1^ i .

Veterans, counselors offer support By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer At least seven Rappahannock County families wait anxiously for word from loved ones serving in Operation Desert Storm, but communications from the war zone remain spotty. Rose Ann Sharp, whose brother, Ai^ny Lt. Charles J. Hyde, is serving on a tank unit near the Kuwaiti border, said her parents got a phone call from him about 12 hours before the war began, but have not heard from him * since. Lt. Hyde has a five-month-old baby born just after he left, “and he just wanted to hear his wife and baby,” Mrs. Sharp said. Due to security regulations, Lt. Hyde was vague about the then-impending war when his parents asked about it, Mrs. Sharp added. He told his mother, “I was hoping you could tell me” what is going on, she said. “He said he just called to say‘Hi’.” t Mrs. Sharp said she sees the situation becoming more serious as more time passes, with the danger that Jordan, Israel and possibly other countries might, be dragged into the conflict. “It’s getting really scary now.” She said she has found a different reaction within herself to this war. “My father did two tours in Vietnam, while I was out in the peace marches. He sat me down later and explained that it didn’t help. He said, ‘You thought you were doing what was right,’ but he thought it was not a good thing. ” She hastened to add, “I don’t advocate war, but if we have to do it we should go in and do the job . ." . I’m focusing on support for the troops. We who are here w aiting are focusing on hoping that they all come home safely.” In her position as director of the Child Care and Learning Center, Mrs. Sharp has helped organize a Valentine’s Day card-writing project among the center’s children. In addition to her brother, one of the center’s teachers has a brother-in-law serving in the Gulf, and the mother of two of the center's children is also stationed there. “We’re working on Valentines to send to those troops,” she said. One disappointment to Mrs. Sharp is the lack of flags and ribbons displayed around the county, particularly in Washington. At CCLC, a handmade banner asks for prayers for the troops, and a small tree outside the entrance is trimmed with yellow ribbons. “I think more people ought to do something,” to show their support for the troops, she said. The yellow ribbons have not found universal acceptance, however, according to Mrs. Sharp. She said her brother’s wife, and other military wives living near their husbands’ duty stations, were told by commanders that they should take the ribbons down, “especially if they OUTSIDE THE CENTER, a tree is festooned with yellow ribbons in remembrance of U.S. military personnel serving in Operation Dpsert Storm. were living alone” after their husbands were transferred overseas. “The wives really became a mark — putting up the ribbons was like saying ‘My husband is gone.’ There are some sick people out there,” she added with a note of sadness in her voice. Retired Navy Rear Admiral John Marocchi echoed Mrs. Sharp’s sentiments in support of the troops. “All people who are in favor of a paeceful, legal world where things can be worked out in a non-military way should help out.” He likened Saddam Hussein’s aggression against See WAR, p. A-5 County is apparently land rich but still money poor Analysis indicates figures used to calculate cuts are misleading By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer How rich is Rappahannock County? When the governor decided to cut into the state’s deficit by reducing aid to localities for education, he asked that the cuts be done in a way that did not increase “educational disparities.” Those localities considered “richest” were slated for 12 percent cuts, while other jurisdictions got cuts ranging from 11.21 percent for Fredericksburg to .*29 and .3 percent for Stafford and Spotsylva nia counties, .the counties north and south of Fredericksburg. The cuts were supposed to be based on the locality’s composite index — adjusted to protect areas experiencing declining enrollment and those with a high percentage of “at risk” students, defined as those receiving free lunch. Thirteen localities including Rappahannock received the maximum cut of 12 percent. Not all of those localities actually operate school systems. For example, both Fairfax City and Fairfax County received 12 percent cuts, but Fairfax City contracts with the county to educate its children. Williamsburg also received a 12 percent cut, but it operates a joint school system with James City County, which received an eight percent cut. According to Dixie White, who is with the Virginia Education Association Research Service, on a per pupil basis Rappahannock took the third highest cut in the state. Only Manassas City, cut 9.81 percent, and Goochland County, cut 9.19 percent, were cut more per pupil than Rappahannock. The local composite index (LCI) is compiled by the state to determine a locality’s ability to support public schools. It is based on a combination of real estate values, residents’ income and sales tax collected. Real estate values count for 50 percent in the calculation; income counts 40 percent, and sales tax collected counts 10 percent. With a local composite index of .6507 this year and .6368 for next year, Rappahannock was one of the localities to receive the maximum cut. Another $238,534 See MONEY, p. A-5 Subdivision ordinance revised, hearing set By LOU HATTER Rappahannock New* Staff Writer After months of work and debate among the members of Washington’s Planning Commission, final revisions to the town’s subdivision ordinance were approved Monday. The amended document will be the subject of a public hearing on Feb. 25. Msyor changes to the document approved Monday include a provision that the planners may require a soil sample analysis by An independent soil scientist to verify the results of the Health Department’s perk tests. Though Town Attorney Frank Reynolds pointed out that under state lfiw an independent analysis cannot be required, Councilman Newbill Miller argued, “It might force them (the developer) to walk a little straighter.” On Mr. Miller’s recommendation the planners also adopted as a reference for perk studies, the Soil and Water Conservation Service’s Soil Survey, Rappahannock County, Virginia (October, 1961). Mr. Miller called it “invaluable” in determining the suitability of particular tracts of land for septic fields and other uses. After debate about the wisdom of requiring right-of-way reservations for subdivisions fronting publicroads, the commissioners agreed with Mr. Miller’s argument that the provision could save taxpayers “a substantial amount of money” since the land would not have to be condemned and dajpages paid later. And, th$ debate over allowing private streets in subdivisions was resolved with an exemption which allows private streets which serve one house, provided they are built with a right-of-way at least 20 feet wide. The state ‘highway department, Commissioner Susan Parrish noted, will not accept streets into the state system unless they serve at least three houses. Finally, the commissioners approved a provision that requires primal^ and secondary septic tank and drainfield sites, of sufficient size to serve a three-bedroom house, be designated and reserved on the plat of each subdivision. “The location of the house doesn’t matter — what is important is the location of the drainfield,” Mr. Miller told the commissioners.

James Preston "Dickie” Walters, of Huntly, was indicted on four felony charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny in connection with two burglaries in the Flint Hill area late last year. According to the indictments, Walters is accused of committing two burglaries, one at the home of Mark Baker arid another at the home of Rene Bodden/ Graham Dunn and Jerry Schrepple. He allegedly stole two chainsaws, one from each home, which led to the two grand larceny indictments. Walters was denied bond and re^ mains in custody in the county jail. Roy James Hogan Jr., 44, of Sperryyille, was indicted on one count of making a false statement under oath. Hogan is accused, according to the complaint, of falsifying information about his criminal record on an application to purchase a firearm. The false statement was allegedly made last July, when he attempted to purchase a gun at Wolf Mountain Traders in Washington, according to the affadavit. Hogan remains in custody in lieu of $1,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for March 11. Jeffrey Francis Berry, 31, of Reston, was indicted on one felony charge of theft of a bank credit card. The incident was connected to a domestic dispute, according to an affadavit filed with the indictment. Berry remains free on bond pending a court appearance on April 4.

Panthers hold onto third place in district By LOU HATTER Rawitunnock News Staff Writer As the basketball season hits its home stretch, Coach Gary Leake hopes his Panther team has finally hit its stride. A 15-point victory, 74-59, over second place Clarke County Tuesday at Sperryville left the Panthers in third place in the hotly-cohtested Bull Run District, sporting a 7-4 district record (8-8 overall). The loss dropped Clarke County into a tie with Page County, with both teams holding 6-3 district records. “It felt real good to get this game in,” the coach said of the victory Tuesday. “I credit this win to the entire team. It was the best team performance of the year — everybody played their role perfectly.” After the starting five got a lead early on, “we got quality play off the bench in the second quarter” from Kenneth Baldwin, Dearl Cloud and Michael Williams. “Those three, coupled with our starters, it opened up the game for everybody. ” Paul Hitt led the Panther offense with 17 points, followed by Bobby Jenkins with 15 (13 in the second half) and seven rebounds. Jason Butler added another 13 points, while Kenneth Baldwin put another 12 on the board (10 in the second quarter alone). Coach Leake said the effort Tuesday night was a complete turnaround from the first outing against Clarke County, when the Eagles won by 15 points. Damon Grayson, the district’s second leading scorer, hit for 30 points that night. “He’s such a good offensive player, there’s no way to stop him. Our goal was to limit him and stop the others.” Tuesday night, dogged by Hitt, Butler and Jason Henry, Grayson was held to 15 points. “And every point he scored, he earned,” Coach Leake said. The first time out, Clarke out-rebounded the Panthers. This time, they turned the tables and hit the boards hard, trying to control the tempo of the *game while out-rebounding Clarke, 40-32. The third factor, the coach said, was the Panthers’ free-throw game. Against Clarke in December, the Panthers hit only 42 percent from the line. Tuesday night, they shot 22 for 29 — their best percentage of the season. “This is the type of game we have been looking for all year,” Coach Leake said. Last Friday evening was not such a happy ending, however, as the Panthers lost in overtime, 61-57, to George Mason in Falls Church. Struggling to overcome a quick Mustang lead, Rappahannock played its best basketball of the evening in the fourth quarter as Hitt scored six points in four seconds on a basket, two free throws and a steal. However, George Mason controlled the overtime, allowing only three points on one basket from Jason Butler. Inn's kitchen staff tours Four Seasons The Inn at Little Washington’s kitchen staff was the guest last Tuesday of The Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C. for a formal lunch and tour of the hotel’s kitchens. Four Seasons Executive Chef Douglas McNeil created a spectacular menu featuring Terrine of Fresh Duck Foie Gras with Leeks and Artichokes, Timbale of Stone Crab Claws with Ossetra Caviar and Smoked Wild Scottish Pheasant with Baby Shiitake Mushrooms and Whole Black Truffles Wrapped in Cabbage Leaves. A selection of four desserts and rare vintage wines completed the meal. Stan Bromley, General Manager and Regional Vice President of The Four Seasons hosted the event and conducted an informal discussion on “Excellence” with The Inn’s staff. (The Four Seasons is Washington, D.C.’s only AAA Five Diamond Hotel and The Inn at Little Washington is America’s only Five Diamond Inn.) After the lunch a tour of the hotel was conducted by Lynn Orlowski, Director of Food and Beverage and Chef McNeil. The Inn’s chefs were particularly fascinated with the hotel’s $40,000 custom-designed smoker and the vacuum sealing (sous vide) machinery. As part of The Inn at Little Washington’s culinary exchange program, this week Jeff Waite of Washington, VA will be training in the kitchen of Restaurant Phillipe Million in Charleston, S.C., a fellow member of The Relais & Chateaux Association. NOTICE OF CONTINUED MEETING Due to inclement weather, the public hearings advertised for the January 7, 1991, 7:00 session of the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors meeting will be heard on Monday, February 4, 1991 at 7:00 p.m.; the next regularly scheduled Board of Supervisors meeting.

Michael Williams led off the boards with seven rebounds. “We played well, especially in the second half,” Coach Leake said of the George Mason game. “We just allowed them to get too far in front.” He said he feels that the team has finally settled into a rhythm. ‘We have been trying all year to develop some consistency in our game to carry us through February . . . Now we have played six straight quarters of consistent basketball.” Though the Panthers had most of last week off for their mid-year academic exams, “next week will be test week again,” Coach Leake said, this time on the basketball court. The Panthers face Page County on the road in Stanley next Tuesday, Feb. 4. On Friday, Feb. 8, firstplace Central visits Sperryville, followed by Strasburg on Tuesday, Feb. 12. “Pm confident that with the consistency that we have played with lately that we will see success,” he said. With undefeated Central virtually assured of the district championship, “some of the tension has been released,” the coach said. The team has redefined its goals, “and it feels like we have been pebom. We’ve got to remember what works — every game.” The coach said he could feel the excitement when he walked into te locker room before the game. “I knew it was going to be a good night.” And, Tuesday morning, the team got a boost to its spirits when Daniel Vanderkolk offered an electric hair trimmer. Taking a cue from last season’s Virginia Cavaliers, the entire team — including Coach Leake — trimmed two stripes in their hair above their ears. It was a gesture to get the team together, although sevet-al Panthers got carried away and took the stripes to the back of their heads (“Thanks, Earl!”). “It is one of those little things to break the tension and bring the team together,” the coach explained. Psychologically, he added, it seemed to surprise the Eagles, who nearly stopped warming up when the Panthers took the court for their pre-game workout. “We opened some eyes tonight,” Coach Leake said. One advantage for the Panthers going down the stretch is that they have played more games than any of their rivals. In the season’s last three weeks, Rappahannock will play twice each week, while their opponents will play three times, including bad weather make-up games from earlier in the season.

Sherry Weakley (#26) goes after the ball as Jennifer Dodson (#20) and Heidi Maeyer move in to help. Flawless Mustangs top Panther spikers By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Panthers volleyball team lost its second match of the season Monday, as George Mason avenged an early season loss at Rappahannock’s hands. The varsity team fell in two games to the Mustangs, 15-2 and 158. “We got beaten by a good team,” Coach Paul Paratore said of the defeat. “They were solid. They didn’t do anything fancy — they just didn’t make any mistakes.” , With both teams working the ball well into some sustained volleys, “they waited until we made a mistake and gave them the point or the ball.” He predicted that the team would rebound well from its second defeat of the year, putting the Panthers’ record at 3-2. “I was disappointed to see the girls not play their best,” Coach.Paratore said. “I told the girls, ‘If you play your best and get beaten, you can hold your head up. And,” he added, I“if you do your very best you are probably going to win some. ” The coach said he feels confident that the team will finish out the seaT son on an upbeat note. “They had ajl off night. They will come back. We had a good practice tonight,” he reported Tuesday evening. “We had good team talk. I’m still satisfied with the season.” The junior varsity led off the night with a win over George Mason in three games. Rappahannock won the first game, 15-9, then fell to the Mustangs 15-13 in the second game before rallying in the closer, 15-7, to win the contest decisively. On Thursday, Jan. 31 the Panthers travel to Manassas Park. The volleyball team’s next home game is next Monday, Jan. 4 against Central.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. over 2 years - $3.00 (if available) ft The Audit Bureau THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1991 'Va * ditorials wmM Reform the standards An article in this week’s paper analyzes the process by which the state determines the relative wealth of localities when computing state aid for education. More importantly, the analysis points out the disparity icreated by the formula, especially for rural counties like Rappahannock where, on paper, there is immense wealth in ^.he land. That wealth, however, is misleading. The real income of many of the county’s residents lags behind the state ^average. The School Board has already sent a letter of protest to Richmond questioning the state cuts in education funding. To that letter we add our o\Vn protest. The 12 percent cut Represents just over $200,000, or nearly five percent of the ]total school budget this year. This cut comes on top of an 'already “bare bones” budget submitted by Superintendent David Gangel and reviewed by the county’s supervisors. T We hope that the commission reviewing the funding •formula will take such inequities into consideration when it ^ issues its report. We don’t mind paying our fair share, but we 'think the formula should ensure that our share is, in fact, fair. Residents, respond r. We applaud the request from Washington's Town ‘-Council to the town’s residents for suggestions about what ; they would like to see the council focus its attention on during ^the coming months. r Certainly, there are tasks which must be undertaken by |^the council, including a state-mandated revision and update of jTthe town’s Comprehensive Plan. And, there is business that 5 must be completed, including the substantial renovation and Vreplacement of most of the town’s aging and antiquated water .f distribution system. v But, above and beyond the business that must be ^attended to, there are also many areas that may or may not } deserve the council’s attention, depending on the feelings of >the town’s residents. J- We agree with Mayor Dean Morehouse that, in the past, ‘ the council has been largely reactive, waiting until problems lor questions surface before addressing them. That is not a ; criticism of the council in particular — most governments .tend to function that way. With so nftany problems that must “be addressed, government officials and bodies are ■! understandably reticent about beating the bushes looking for ^additional difficulties. -f But by its invitation, the council has offered the residents ;_of the Town of Washington an unusual opportunity: a forum r designed specifically for them to air their comments, * complaints and suggestions. 2* We hope that many of the town’s residents will take the ( council up on its invitation, attend the meeting and offer their k comments. After all, the more residents who participate in •"this forum, the more representative of the town the council’s S agenda will become. £ That will be a real contribution to the council, the presidents and the Town of Washington. i, ' —______ •« * - i'-* t * r z>%* Rappahannock's representatives Listed below are the names, addresses and telephone numbers of Rappahannock County’s elected representatives in the Virginia General Assembly.

Letters to the editor Legislators are arrogant To the editor: You, the voter," are too ignorant to take part in the legislative process, even though you now have the right to do so, according to the Virginia constitution. That was the message by House of Delegates members Jan. 16 when they killed a constitutional amendment providing for Initiative and Referendum. That’s the process in 26 other states where citizens get thousands of petition signatures for a specific law, which then goes on the general election ballot. Then, after much public discussion, voters decide whether they want the new law. But the House Privileges and Elections Committee, in its arrogant “wisdom,” said Virginia citizens are too uneducated and uninformed to make s&ch important decisions. These legislators were just like another group of state lawmakers who, according to the Jan. 13 Lynchburg News and Daily Advance, “act as if they were royalty unbeholden to the peasants.” This haughty attitude by our “leaders” is what fuels the mushrooming “toss the rascals out” movement. The fact that a chief of the anti-I & R committee is Del. Robert Ball (D-Henrico), who got the monster state budget in such a mess through his chairmanship of the big-spending Appropriations Committee, further builds justifiable anger at oppressive government. This has been a major target of Virginia Taxpayers Association (PO Box 663, Lynchburg, VA 24505) for 18 years. The ridiculous “straw-man” objection P & E committee members raised against I & R is that it “might be influenced by special interests.” As if such “special interests” could openly buy ballot votes of the entire Virginia electorate as effectively as they now with their big money secretly influence most all legislators from behind the scenes. Is this legislative tyranny at home what our brave American men and women now in the Mideast desert really are fighting for? Other P & E members regarding their constituents as ignorant clods included Dels. James Dillard (R-Fairfax), Mary Marshall (D-Arlington) and Marian Van Landingham (D-Alexandria). With elections coming up in November, these delegates’ votes on I & R ought to be a prime campaign issue. ROBERT E. MERRILL Vice President, VTA Greenwood Giarratano should get conditional pardon, new trial To the editor: On Saturday, Feb. 9, at 2 p.m., some of the thousands of people concerned with the imminent execution of Joseph Giarratano, now scheduled for Feb. 22, are meeting at the State Capitol. The purpose of the meeting is to petition Governor L. Douglas Wilder to grant Giarratano a conditional pardon. Such a pardon would give the state the option to order a new trial in his case. At a new trial, evidence discovered since his conviction for murder would be admissible. Substantial evidence pointing to his innocence has been assembled and could lead to his acquittal. It would, in any case, allow a fair trial. Joe Giarratano’s case is a complicated one that has convinced many people that he is not guilty. However, since he gave himself up to the police and made five separate confessions of guilt, the investigation surrounding the case was casual and the trial was summary. Giarratano’s several confessions were mutually inconsistent, and, in addition, the facts confessed to contradicted the facts of the crimes in several important respects. The state psychiatrist has described the confessions as “confabulated.” Surprising as it may seem, it is not unusual for an innocent person to confess to murder. Joe’s case, owing to the person Joe has shown himself to be since he was convicted, has attracted national and international attention. It is not easy for an official to open himself or herself to a possible charge of being “soft on crime.” However, because of the finality of the punishment of execution, it is fundamental that all the proceedings in the case be conducted as fairly as possible. In this case, so far, that has not been done. We want to show Governor Wilder that we believe he can do the right thing with credit to his record. If you want to support an effort to try to see that Joe Giarratano gets a new trial, join others on Sat., Feb. 9 in Richmond. If you want more information on the case, call GRACE at (804) 368-4875, (703) 987-8410 or (703)675-3263. LEE BIRD DIANA BIRD . Washington Say 'No' to war To the editor; For a long time Christians have been expecting the Anti-Christ to arrive speaking of “a New World Order,” the exact words President Bush uses constantly. Is it just coincidence that Bush succeeded a president whose names added up to 666 (even lottery bets on that number had to be stopped on the day of his inaguration because of the large amount placed) and whose foreign and domestic policies were bizarre, to say the least? And is it also a coincidence, then, that the U.S. Resolutions which authorize his use of force in the Mid East are numbered in sequence which spans the number 666? Armageddon is not a war of evil nations alligned against good ones, but a war in which the root and branch of evil-doers is to be destroyed (Malichi 4:1). The words “root and branch” seem to be words used in Bible times which reflect the concept we call “genetics.” The President ought to be told that the “New World Order” which he prophecises; according to the Bible, will only exist for 42 months. It is therein pictured as a coalition of nations representing the Englishspeaking world (British lion changing into a man, Uncle Sam), Russia (the bear), Asia (the dragon), and probably the Third World (the primary range of the leopard — also Kenyatta’s Mau-Mau wore leopard skins in Africa’s first war of national liberation (Revelations Chap. 13 and Daniel 7:3-8). Nothing short of actually accepting all nations as equal states of the United States, or creating a planetary government patterned after our republic will be the means whereby political peace will be maintained on earth. Nationalism, the virus of warfare, must be made to dissolve like the separate identity of the Thirteen Colonies did upon the formation of our government. The United Nations can not do that. And the President might be warned, too, that although the Saudis now claim to be our friend, those who presume upon Arab hospitality and remain too long within the tent of the sheik wind up being treated to the delights experienced by Lawrence of Arabia, or worse. In a matter of a few months we will likely by fighting the Saudis. I hope I am right that the prophecies are being mitigated to some degree in that Jesus said that “an evil and adultrous people” would be given but one sign, that of the Prophet Noah — the whale. And insofar as we have shown humanity to that creature, we are likely to show humanity to our fellows. The judgemnt is after all based on how well we respond as nations to human needs (Matthew 25:32-46). But the money Bush and Reagan spent and are spending on war does not balance favorably with the amount used to help the homeless and others. While we must pay a billion dollars a day “to make fire come down from heaven (the sky) on the earth” in Iraq, the poor in our land have had their heating assistance cut to zero! Bush must wake up to the fact that he and Saddam, as well as all people, are children of the same God. Both should say “No!” to war! PETER B. HOLLEY Boston The rich get richer... To the editor: Ever since the early New Deal, it has been the policy that the federal minimum wage would be about half the average working-level wage in the nation; when the concept of a poverty level was developed, the minimum wage was supposed to pay just about the poverty level for a family of three. The minimum wage effective in 1981, $3.35 an hour, was about 45 percent of the average, and paid about 96 percent of the poverty rate. By 1989, inflation had cut the minimum wage to 34 percent of the average and 70 percent of the poverty level. Five million Americans below the poverty level were in families headed by a full-time year-round worker. In 1989, the Democratic Congress, over general Republican objection, passed a bill to raise the minimum wage to $4.55 over three years, roughly restoring the historic ratios. George Bush vetoed the bill; after some dickering a bill was passed and signed raising the minimum to $4.26 by April 1, 1991. This will be about 40 percent of the average and 81 percent of the poverty level. In the meanwhile, legislation has been passed and signed, effective Jan. 1, 1991t raising the pay of members of Congress by $28,500 a year. Another 10,000 upper-level federal bureaucrats have received raises of from $20,000 to $42,000 a year. Vicepresident Dan Quayle, who strongly objected to giving minimum wage workers a raise of $1.20 an hour to bring them up near the poverty level, received a raise of $22 an hour ($46,000 a year). It is clearly the policy of our government that the rich should get richer and the poor poorer. AUGUSTUS C. JOHNSON Syria

Money Continued from page A-1 was subtracted from allocations for Rappahannock schools for next year, to produce a figure that was $202,681, or 12 percent, less than this year's allocation. Among the localities also receiving 12 percent cuts are several with LCIs of .8000. This is the cap on composite indices, and these localities, including Falls Church, Arlington, Alexandria, Bath and Surry counties, would actually have LCIs over one if they weren’t capped, J Many people consider the LCI, -with its heavy emphasis on real es'tate values, an unfair indication of a locality’s wealth. For example, it makes no allowance for a locality’s decision to try to protect farming by taxing farmland at its “land use” value, rather than its “fair market” va'V' lue. And unless the landowner sells some of his land to pay his taxes, its •high value is of no use to him at taxpayingtime. i Indeed the Governor’s Commis'sion for Educational Opportunity for All Virginians, which is studying ways to reduce educational disparity in die state, is going to recommend a y^different method for evaluating a lo, cantos ability to support education. • According to Virginia Hettinger, a staffuneipber of the Governor’s • Commission, if its proposed method had been used, Rappahannock’s index for the coming year would have ! been .64 rather than .6368. Staff at the Virginia Association of Counties issued a spreadsheet 'based on these new indices for all localities that shows that Rappahannock would have been due to receive • $186,000 more for the coming year than the county is to receive this year. However, this calculation did not take into account the cut in aid to the localities for schools that the Governor ordered. Had it done so, Rappahannock could have expected to share in the cuts, but with this lower indication of wealth, perhaps it would not have been included among the localities scheduled for 12 percent cuts. The recommendations adopted by the Governor’s Cbmmission show that it is not going to suggest that these new indices be applied to existing Standards of Quality (SOQ). To reduce disparities between school systems in the state the commission will also recommend that the SOQs be expanded to cover the costi of such “prevailing practices” as offering art, music arjd physical education in elementary school and to more nearly reflect the true costs of providing for students with “special needs such as those with limited English proficiency, those who may be educationally disadvantaged due to family circumstances related to poverty, and those identified as handicapped, gifted or in need of remedial assistance.” The commission will send its full report to the Governor in March with the recommendation that the changes be phased in over the next four years. Unless the recession ends and the state has more money available to fund its share of the expanded SOQ, it will not be possible to implement all the recommendations of the commission, and Rappahannock may not be able to benefit from the proposed method for calculating the county’s ability to fund education. So, how wealthy is the county^ According to figures provided by the research service of the Virginia Education Association, in 1988 Rappahannock had $577,827 in real estate and public service corporation value per student in average daily membership, far above the state’s average of $288,801. According to this measure of wealth, Rappahannock ranked ninth in the state, but that still was far below the $2,198,494 per child in ADM for Bath County, the $1,252,683 per child in Arlington County or the $1,107,115 per child in Alexandria. And, according to Ms Hettinger, Rappahannock is below the state average per capita income of $19,355. A letter the School Board sent to members of the General Assembly protesting the decision to include Rappahannock among the localities slated for 12 percent cuts in funding for education notes that 42 percent of the tax returns filed in Rappahannock in 1987 were for incomes of $15,000 or less, according to the Center for Public Service. The letter also points out that Rappahannock schools qualify for a federal concentration grant because 13 percent of the students are from “low inhome families.” Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell said that the schools came up with that figure by counting all the students who qualify for free textbooks and/or free lunch. Students from families receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children qualify for free textbooks. To qualify for the federally-funded free or reduced price lunch program the student’s parent or guardian must fill out a financial disclosure form listing household income. Rose Ann Sharp, director of the Child Care and Learning Center, believes that the true percentage of children from “low income families” is much higher. CCLC was turned down for a grant they applied for with Culpeper to provide pre-school education for 17 “at risk four-year olds” because Rappahannock has such a high LCI. Mrs. Sharp said the center applied to serve 17 children because that number represented 75 percent JF/the number of kindergarten children who qualified for free lunch. That would indicate that 25 kindergartners, or about 25 percent of the children, qualify for free lunch. And Mrs. Sharp added, among regular clients of the day care center, normally 25 percent qualify for free lunch. Mrs. Sharp said that as children get older they perceive that there is a stigma connected with receiving free lunch and their parents are less likely to apply. She also said more money has become available for Head Start, and the center has reapplied for a grant. So Rappahannock rates as a “rich” county only when the value of real estate is the primary way of measuring wealth. By most other measures, Rappahannock rates more toward the “poor” end, somewhere just short of the middle of the scale. Whirlpool No-Frost Refrigerator m: Model ET18NK • 18.0 cu. ft.

War is never a desirable thing, any more than is putting someone in jail for committing a crime. But sometimes it is necessary.” Calling Hussein’s actions “an international version of domestic crime,” the admiral added, “not all wars fit that description, but this one so clearly does.” He gave Hussein high marks for a “damned clever public relations campaign. I’m not making him the good guy, but he has done a good job of trying to confuse the issues” by attempting to include the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and a homeland for the Palestinians as part of negotiations leading to a peaceful settlement. However, Adm. Marocchi added, “President Bush has done a pretty good job of keeping it separate.” Of the anti-war protestors who have marched in numerous cities across the country, Adm. Marocchi said, “I don’t support them, obviously. But as long as people don’t interfere — it’s a free country. You can say what you want, write what you want. Without that, we wouldn’t have anything to fight for. Certainly, they have the right to object.” Prom a personal point of view, the retired admiral said it has been difficult for him to sit back and watch the war unfold. As a deco rated veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam who retired from • the Navy in 1975, “this is the first one since I’ve been an adult that I haven’t been in on. I feel like I ought to be there, that I ought to be doing something.” Those feelings of helplessness, of a lack of control, are not unusual, according to counselor Linda Mock. In fact, they are more difficult for non-military people than for veterans, who have some real perspective for what is happening. “For a lot of people,” the director of Family Guidance Services of Rappahanock said, “it will throw back to Vietnam, Korea, even World War II. People should be aware that it may bring up those feelings. ” Fellow counselor Gary Rafala echoed Ms. Mock’s advice about the importance of talking about the feelings raised by the war. In working with Vietnam veterans, Mr. Rafala said, “one of their problems has been not being able to discuss their emotions. One of their complaints is that their families won’t talk, don’t updei^tand.” He suggested that, in talking about |ne Situation, it is important to separate vflz political issues from the emotional feelings about the war. “Get pway from politics, and discuss it on a level of emotions.” Both Ms. Mock and Mr. Rafala stressed the importance of parents talking with children about the war, helping them to understand it. “Don’t let them be obsessed with watching it and not talking about it. It’s important to listen, and then to provide a context arid a perspective.” Above all, she said, “don’t lie to kids. Tell the truth about death and dying. It may be difficult — some don’t deal well with that — but don’t lie.” And, Mr. Rafala added, young children especially need to be reassured that they will be taken care of. “War is a frightening thing to them, and they need to know that no harm will come to them. ” The counselors said that although children react differently to the situation, all of them are aware of what is happening. In their work with children around the area, “some are more thoughtful than others, but all are aware of it,” Ms. Mock said. Finally, she suggested, her advice for children is applicable to the families of military personnel as well. “Families and friends need tp be cautious about letting it take over their lives. They need to get out and do some ‘normal’ things. It can be a real roller-coaster ... it is real easy for people to get depressed if they get tied in too much.” Support groups are an excellent way for families and friends to sharfe the feelings they are experiencing with others, Ms. Mock said. That sharing also reassures them that they are not alone in their fears, and that their apprehension is a normal reaction.

A Patterson's ingenuity stretches resources By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer High school chemistry and physics teacher Brion Patterson spent most of last July at Rutgers University in New Jersey, participating in the 1990 National Leadership Institute for Teachers of Physics. He had the opportunity to hear lectures from several of the top scientists working for Bell Laboratories and to work with his fellow teachers in developing new materials to be used in the classroom. This school year he is trying to apply to his physics classes what he learned as one of 30 applicants selected nationwide. “The concept of the program is that the way physics is usually taught, and I guess the way I teach it, is to teach the basic principles that lead to all these high tech creations,” he explained. “Their concept is to start from the high tech, to show people the product and get them excited, then go backwards to the principles they depend on. “It’s like trying to teach someone about construction, but you only show him foundation after foundation. He never gets to see the finished building,” he explained. “But then you get to the question of how to change the way-the curriculum is taught,” he said. “You can’t have an earthquake overnight. So they created modules, and the idea is rather than change the whole course, you slip in the modules.” Mr. Patterson said that the modules were created by working scientists “with input from high school teachers.” Part of his experience at the institute was working on additions to the modules. But in some cases he thought the teachers should have had more input. One module involves working with a BRION PATTERSON Former high, school students frequently mention Mr. Patterson as one of the teachers who works hardest to make what they leam interesting. specially manufactured computer chip that is about two inches by three inches. Although it is many times the size of a normal computer chip, it is still pretty small for an entire class to use in a lab, he explained. And, when the institute members worked with them this summer some burned up. Each of the participants got one to bring back to his school, but if it bums up, it can’t be replaced, he said. Still he is looking forward to including some of the modules in his curriculum, especially during the second semester when he gets into electronics and light waves. One benefit of the program for Mr. Patterson is being included in an electronic network of last summer’s participants and participants from other years. They will be able to use computers to communicate with each other. Mr. Patterson also participates in another network of Virginia teachers. From that he is exploring the possibility of having his classes conduct joint research with students in a Fairfax County high school. Some of his eighth-grade students have already shared research on radon testing with students from other schools in other states. Much of this was made possible by a grant Mr. Patterson received from the American Chemical Society. This grant enabled the high school to acquire a modem to use with the school’s computers. The grant also paid for on-line research time. Besides the possibilities of using the modem to take advantage of the networks, the grant enabled all the chemistry and physics students to gain experience doing on-line research for papers and experiments that can be entered in the school system’s science fair. Mr. Patterson is pleased with the results. “The main thing is they had the experience of it,” he said. “Last year I didn’t know anything about telecommunications, and this year all my students have been able to use it for research,” he said. He and Helen LaCava, head of the math department, are applying for more grant money for new software and to continue with on-line research next year. Their proposal would involve using software to teach Boolian algebra, using Boolian algebra to conduct on-line research, and using other mathematical concepts to analyze the research and present the results. The project would conclude with a pizza party for the participants. Former high school students frequently mention Mr. Patterson as one of the teachers who works hardest to make what they learn interesting. By participating in programs such as last summer’s institute at Rutgers and by applying for grant money to stretch resources available to the students, he is continuing in that tradition. Library changes evening hours By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Library Board voted last week to change the library’s evening hours. In the past the library has been open Tuesday evenings until 9 p.m. Starting this week, the library will instead be open Wednesday evenings during the same hours. The library’s daytime hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday will/emain unchanged, as will its Saturday hours of 9 a.m. to noon. Christine-Smith, who has been working Tuesday evenings, will be taking a class on Tuesdays and has agreed to work Wednesday evenings instead. The board also voted to write a formal letter to the Friends of the Rappahannock Library thanking them for their help in raising funds for the new library. To date about $513,000 has been raised, including $150,000 frpm the sale of the current library and $141,000 of federal monies distributed by the state for building projects. The library also will receive money from the sale of a property across the street from the current library that was donated to the Friends organization by the late Mrs. E.M.“Byrd” Jones. So far about $74,000 has been spent on the building project. Board Chairman Dr. William Young said, “We still need to raise money. This will come to about $600,000 by the time we get done.” Dr. Young noted that the change to include windows on the west wall will add to the cost in labor and materials, but added, “I think we will be glad we put the windows in.” The board also agreed that the same committee that selects the books should be responsible for weeding books out of the collection. Dr. Young said several people have indicated interest in the librarian’s position and that he told them the board will be advertising for a librarian in late spring. The board agreed to begin work on next year’s budget at its February meeting. Dr. Young noted that they will have to estimate extra expenses that will come from using the larger building, and that they will have to antic, ipate cuts in aid from the state. They noted that the Fourth of July book sale will again be at the current library this year, because they don’t give up occupancy until July 6. Board member Mary Jamieson suggested that the library should also entice residents and visitors to visit the new library on the Fourth of July holiday and suggested they might use a decorated “jitney” to transport people back and forth. The board decided to try to get weekly publicity for the library in a “Library Lines” column in the Rappahannock News. This will include information on library programs as well as new books and other materials added to the collection. Postal Service rates up Monday The United States Postal Service will raise rates for domestic mail this coming Monday, Feb. 3. The new rates are as follows: • First class: 29 cents for first ounce, 23 cents for each additional ounce (these rates apply to domestic mail and to mail addressed to military APO and FPO addresses) • Postal cards: 19 cents • Express mail: $9.95 (up to eight ounces) Flat rate envelopes (no weight limit): $13.95 • Priority mail: $2.90 (up to two pounds) Flat rate envelopes (no weight limit): $2.90 • Parcel Post: $1.74 and up • Certified mail: $1 • Return receipt: $1 The Postal Service is issuing new “make up” stamps, worth four cents, to be added to 25 cent stamps beginning Feb. 3. The “F” series Flower stamps, valued at 29 cents, will also be sold. However, the Postal Service notes, the “Make-up” and “Flower” stamps should not be used on international mail. Under international agreements, such mail requires stamps with a printed numeric value. An acoustic treat for fiddle fans On Friday, Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. Peter Ostroushko will appear in concert at the Wakefield School Auditorium in Rappahannock County. One critic summed it all up: “Peter Ostroushko can play anything! And usually does!” Regarded as one of the finest mandolinist8 and fiddlers in acoustic music, he has toured in Europe and North America, at clubs, performing arts centers, festivals and theatres. He has recorded on well over 100 albums. Described as “a musical chameleon,” his music is admired by fans of all styles of music: country (probably his association with Jethro Burns, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, Johnny Gimble), bluegrass (Norman and Nancy Blake, Tim O’Brien and Hot Rize), folk (Greg Brown, John Hartford, Taj Mahal, Robin & Linda Williams), and even jazz. He also has a place in the world of rock, with Bob Dylan to be precise. Called “one of a group of virtuoso musicians capable of defying boundaries,” he does exactly that. He’s played lead ukelele with the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra, he has composed and performed scores for a number of theatrical productions and he’s appeared on radio and television including Mountain Stage, Good Evening, Austin City Limits, and Prairie Home Companion where he was a regular performer at home and on the road. But in all of his artistic guises, Mr. Ostroushko plays Ostroushko never wandering far from the old ethnic Minneapolis neighborhood where he was bom, raised, and still lives. He thrives on the influence of a musical family which immigrated from the Ukraine after World War II. Mr. Ostroushko blends his Ukrainian roots with other old world sounds, from Scandinavian schottiches to Irish hornpipes, mixes in a little jazz, bluegrass, swing or oldtime, creating Sluz Duz music (a term borrowed from his mother, meaning, roughly, “off his rocker”). Recordings include the 1989 Red House release “Blue Mesa,” “Buddies of Swing,” “the Mando Boys,” “Down the Streets of My Old Neighborhood” and “Sluz Duz.” For ticket and information call RAAC at (703) 6753193 or the 4ft8 Hotline at (703) 675-3073 for the nearest ticket outlet. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Scientific method Rappahannock New. photo/Lou Hatter AFTER HEARING RUMORS that soft drinks contain huge amounts of sugar, Tom Von Fange’s eighth grade earth science classes decided to find out the facts. By evaporating the * water from a Coke, the class measured the weight of the remaining solid. Then, it was trans- ' lated into an equivalent amount of sugar, which Jerri Mallory (above) scoops from the scale - a teaspoon at a time. The result? On average, a 12 ounce Coke contains nine teaspoons of -t sugar. The class concluded that the rumors were largely true, and the experiment almost •' made them give up drinking sodas. :

You need tools that you can depend on. We are God's tools. Our faith in Him must be strong enough so it is not damaged or distorted by those who might attempt to destroy it Faith is the very foundation of God's house. He proclaims in Matt 16:18 “ . . .on this rock I will build my church Invite a friend to church this week. When we shine with the love of God. it is reflected onto everyone we meet. As His tools, we can build His house even larger by bringing others to Him, that they may experience the peace and happiness they find there. 1 Cor. 3:16 asks us: “Do you not know that you are God's temple and the God's Spirit dwells in you?" With the spirit of God dwelling in us. we shall surely build God's kingdom on earth. .. one soul at a time. r Copynghl 1991, Kenler-Williams Newspaper Services. P 0 Bo* 8005. Charlottesville.

But, as the old saying goes, "money doesn't grow on trees," and the funds needed to cut the deficit are coming from cuts in defense spending, from the budgets of some federal programs and from our own pockets. Over the next five years, Congress hopes to raise more than $40 billion from higher income taxes — upperincome individuals will have a top tax rate of 31 percent and will be allowed fewer deductions. More than $100 billion will be raised from higher taxes on gasoline, air travel, luxury cars and other items. It appears that no one will be spared from paying higher taxes in one form or another. Fortunately, there are still ways that individual investors can lessen the impact of higher taxes — through tax-free and tax-deferred investments. Tax-free investments allow you to earn interest that's free from federal taxes and, in some cases, from state taxes. There are many tax-free investments available, one of which may be suitable for your own needs. Individual municipal bonds When you invest in municipal bonds, you're loaning money to help finance public projects, such as highways, hospitals, housing and public education. In return, you earn a specified rate of interest for a specified period of time. At maturity your principal is returned in full. Municipal bonds are exempt from federal taxes and, in certain instances, may also be exempt from state and local taxe<|. Attention . CD Owners If you have a certificate of deposit maturing within the next 90 days, give me a call. I believe I may t be able to offer you a higher yield. Bank-issued certificates of deposit offered through Edward D. Jones & Co. are insured up to $100,000 by the F.D.I.C., minimum deposit $5,000. ■ Tax-free money-market funds If you need easy access to your money, money-market funds can offer such privileges as check writing, complete liquidity and low minimum investments. All the income earned is exempt from federal taxes. Unit trusts These investments diversify your money among 10 to 30 municipal bonds selected by professionals. Again, the interest earned is free from federal income taxes. Tax-free mutual funds Your money is pooled with the money of thousands of investors and is invested in 30 to 100 municipal bonds. In addition to tax-free income, you also benefit from diversification and professional money management. Another way to keep higher taxes at bay is with tax-deferred investments. These allow you to accumulate money without paying current taxes until you withdraw the funds, for instance, when you've retired, at which time you may be in a lower tax bracket. There are a number of products that offer the benefits of tax deferral. Individual retirement accounts Despite media hype to the contrary, 80 percent of Americans still qualify for partially or fully deductible IRA contributions. And anyone under age 70 1/2 with earned income can still contribute to an IRA. Whether or not the contributions are deductible is determined by your adjusted gross income and whether you and your spouse are covered by a companysponsored retirement plan. Single-premium life insurance This investment offers the protection of life insurance with the advantages of tax-deferral. And a special death-benefit provision allows the money in the investment to pass quickly to beneficiaries, tax free. These are life-insurance contracts that allow money to compound until you retire. Annuities have no set maturities, but they usually must be held one to 10 years to avoid early surrender charges. Fixed annuities guarantee a specific rate of return and are insured by insurance companies. The rate of return on variable annuities, on the other hand, is dependent upon the market and, therefore, is ^ subject to fluctuation. Each of these investments has unique characteristics designed to meet different needs and goals, so you should examine your own situation to determine the most suitable course of action. If you're interested in beatings, the new budget plan, call Edward D. Jones & Co. today. ■ Annuities

Advertisement Municipal Bonds ■ One qf the last totally tax-free investments We can't deny it, higher taxes are in our future. After much debate, Congress passed a deficit reduction bill designed to trim billions off the nation's debt using a combination of spending cuts and tax increases. To individual investors, this new budget means two things: 1. The new taxes and spending cuts will affect almost everyone. And 2. Tax-free municipal bonds are more important than ever! What's more, many experts believe that the recent round of tax increases is only the tip of the iceberg and that more increases are on the way. If this is the case, the attraction of municipal bonds will become even stronger. Why? Because municipal bonds are federally and, in some cases, state and local tax free as well. What are municipal bonds? Next time you're out driving, take a look around you. Notice the bridge you drive across, the maintenance work being done on the highway or the addition being built at the airport. State and local governments raise the funds to pay for projects like these by issuing bonds. Investors who buy the bonds are loaning the government money to pay for these projects. In turn, the issuer of the bonds promises to pay back the principal at maturity and a specified rate of interest throughout the life of the bond. The beauty of these bonds is that'the interest you earn is yours alone. Norte of it goes to Uncle Sam in the form of taxes. Municipal bonds for a high, long-term yield In addition to their tax-free status, municipal bonds also offer an attractive return. Their interest rate is lower than the rate on most taxable investments, however, they usually offer a much better return after taxes. In fact, the interest rate on a taxable investment must be much higher than a taxfree investment in order to achieve the same return. The following chart* shows the taxable interest rates needed to equal tax-free yields at different tax brackets. Tax Bracket 15% 28% 33% Tax-Exempt Yields (%) Taxable yield equivalents (%) 4.00 4.70 5.55 5.97 4.50 5.29 6.25 6.71 5.00 5.88 6.94 7.46 5.50 6.47 7.63 8.20 6.00 7.05 8.33 8.95 6.50 7.64 9.02 9.70 6.75 7.94 9.38 10.07 7.00 8.23 9.72 10.45 7.25 8.53 10.07 10.82 7.50 8.82 10.42 11.19 7.75 9.12 10.76 11.57 8.00 9.41 11.11 11.94 8.25 9.71 11.46 12.31 8.50 10.00 11.80 12.68 8.75 10.29 12.15 13.06 9.00 10.58 12.50 13.43 To use this table: Find the appropriate tax-free return and determine which tax bracket you are in. The numbers in the column under your tax bracket give you the approximate taxable yield equivalent. For example: for an investor in the 28 percent bracket, a taxable investment would have to yield 10.07 percent to provide the same after-tax return as a municipal bond paying 7.25 percent. * Chart based on 1990 figures. The general rule of thumb is that the higher your tax bracket, the more municipal bonds can help. Municipal bonds for a safe, return Although no investment carries "zero" risk, municipal bonds offer a high degree of safety. And in today's uncertain economic environment, that means a lot. Different types of municipal bonds carry varying degrees of risk, which is why it's important to be familiar with the different types of bonds available. One of the best ways to reduce risk, is to buy a bond that is backed by private insurance. This insurance provides an extra measure of safety for investors because it guarantees the timely payment of the bond's principal and interest. Many consider this insurance a "safety rjet" for their investment. Take advantage of tax-frees today With higher taxes on the way, it's to your advantage to find out more about tax-free municipal bonds. Call Edward D.

One thing it didn't change, however, is the long-term advantage of tax-deferred earnings. Investment flexibility is an oftenoverlooked benefit to your IRA. Within the IRA, you're free to exchange assets among investments or among mutual funds with various investment objectives. None of these exchanges are taxed. Outside your IRA, each exchange constitutes a sale and repurchase, and any gain must be reported and taxed that year. Outside an IRA, you also pay taxes each year on any income and gains your investments earn whether you take or reinvest them. Inside your IRA, all earnings and income are allowed to grow and compound tax deferred. No taxes are due until you begin withdrawal. Then, you pay taxes only ort the amount you withdraw. If you're in a lower tax bracket at retirement, that could mean additional tax savings. Eventually, you will owe taxes on your IRA. But the benefits you've gained by deferring those taxes are clearly demonstrated in the investment results on the chart below. The comparison is based on a hypothetical taxpayer in the 28 percent bracket who deposits $2,000 each year into an IRA earning a reasonable 9 percent total return. In 30 years, by deferring taxes, that annual IRA deposit has compounded into a retirement fund worth $297,150. The same investment, with taxes paid each year when due, would be worth only $183,290. That's a difference of $113,860. If you choose to withdraw the entire $297,150 in one lump sum at retirement, federal income taxes would amount to $83,202 (assuming all contributions were tax-deductible). Still, your after-tax nest egg would be $213,948, or $30,658 more than you would have if you paid taxes each year and left the rest to compound. Most people, however, do not take their IRA money out in one lump sum. Instead, they remove money only as needed throughout their lifetime. This way, your withdrawals are taxable as you take them; the balance of your IRA continues to grow and compound tax deferred. There is no question that Congress eliminated an immediate tax benefit to thousands of responsible wage earners by denying them an IRA deduction. That does not mean, however, that the benefit of long-term deferral is gone. Even if your $2,000 annual IRA contributions are no longer tax-deductible, consider the future benefits of taxdeferred growth. The numbers say you'll be glad you did. ■ IRA VS.

Advertisement The Tax ManfCometh ... And he taketh away I laxes - they ve always defied the rule that what goes up must eventually come down. And with Congress' October budget agreement, it's happened again. Specifically, the agreement is aimed at trimming $492 billion from the federal deficit over the next five years. This savings, part of the largest-ever deficit-reduction package, will be achieved through stringent spending cuts and tax increases that few Americans will escape. On the spending side, federal funding for a number of programs will be slashed. The targets of these cuts include Medicare providers and beneficiaries, farmers, federal workers, Medicaid, federal housing and student loan programs, veterans and the military. For example, the annual Medicare deductible will rise from $75 to $100 in 1991, and Medicare reimbursement payments to doctors and hospitals will be reduced. In all, Congress estimates that spending reductions such as these are scheduled to save more than $265 billion over the next five years. On the taxation side, Congress intends to offset the deficit by as much as $160 billion through increased income taxes and excise taxes. The income-tax increases primarily affect higher-income taxpayers. Their top tax rate will be raised to 31 percent from the current 28 percent, and itemized deductions and exemptions will be reduced for adjusted grps?., it,a. incQjftes above $100,000. o;m b'jh'iuoq Overall, taxpayers with annual incomes of $200,000 or more will experience a tax increase of about 6.3 percent. Most other income categories will see their taxes raised only about 2 percent. Taxpayers with less than $20,000 in income will actually receive an income-tax cut. Still, wealthy taxpayers aren't the only 6nes who will be paying more to Uncle Sam. Consumers will feel the pinch, too. We'll all be paying more at the gas pump. And those of us who purchase cigarettes, alcohol, airline tickets, and luxury items, such as planes, boats, luxury autos, furs and jewelry, will also have higher bills at the cash register. Despite these attacks on the nation's pocketbooks, the new budget is not all take, take, take. Some important tax breaks were included to assist such groups as low-income families, small businesses, children and the elderly. For example, the government earmarked substantial funds, $732 million this year alone, for grants to states to help pay for child care. Will any of these changes affect you? It's nearly certain that you'll feel the impact of the new budget one way or another. If you anticipate substantial changes in your tax liability or if you need additional information, a visit to a qualified CPA or tax professional would be in order. ■ Although President Bush signed the new tax bill in 1990, the tax return you file in April 1991, for your 1990 certain designated categories, your income taxes may not be affected at all.

At Edward D. Jones & Co., we believe tliat annuities offer some of the best ways to build for your retirement — both in terms of safety and strong earnings. The tax-deferred advantage What makes these investments so attractive? Annuities offer tremendous tax advantages to long-term investors. They allow you to avoid paying any taxes on your earnings until you begin withdrawing them at retirement, when you can probably take advantage of a reduced tax rate. That means every dollar you earn can continue earning interest and compound taxdeferred. At first glance, other investments like CDs may appear to pay better returns than annuities, because , interest rates are higher.* But CDs . don't let you defer taxes on your Jeamings, so they provide far less actual income than annuities. Better yet, many annuities now offer rates that are comparable to, or even better than those of CDs. Choosing the right annuities In addition to tax-deferred growth and competitive returns, annuities also offer a high degree of flexibility. For example, you can choose between fixed and variable annuities. Fixed annuities are purchased with a lump sum and all money invested earns interest until it is paid out. Best of all, your original investment (principal) and your interest rate are guaranteed by the issuing insurance company, so you know your money will keep earning income over the life of the annuity.** Once you begin receiving your guaranteed income, the payments continue for the rest of your life, or for the period of years you select. Because they offer a guarantee of principal and interest, many investors choose fixed annuities for lump sum distributions received at retirement, or for other large sums accumulated over the years. Variable annuities for the opportunity to earn even more Unlike fixed annuities, variable annuities do not offer minimum guaranteed interest. Instead, their tax deferred return is based on the market performance of the annuity. Your principal is invested nn mutual funds, where professional management provides an extra degree of safety. Because your rate of return is not fixed, variable annuities offer the potential to earn a greater return over time. And while your principal is not guaranteed, variable annuities do provide a guaranteed death benefit equal to the amount of principal paid in. If you're not ready to invest a large sum, variable annuities offer flexible schedules, so you can invest in them monthly, for example, if you prefer. Ask your Investment Representative How do you find the annuities best suited to your financial goals? Whether you're looking for tax-deferred income or an investment strategy to make your retirement dreams a reality, call Edward D. Jones & Co. We can help you develop a conservative investment strategy that fits your needs for safety and growth. ■ * Banking instruments are insured by federal agencies. The principal is stable and the yield does not fluctuate. ** All guarantees are made by the issuer. No representation is made as to the issuer's ability to meet its commitments.

Advertisement Tax-Filing Phobia: Making sense of your forms How many forms does it take to file a tax return? For many people, it takes ju$t two — a 1040 form and a W-2. Others aren't so lucky. There are currently 392 tax forms currently being used. Since the Tax Reform Act of 1986, legislation heralded as the key to tax simplification, 88 forms have been added to the list! Fortunately, most individuals don't have to complete all 392 forms. But if you're one of those who files more than a 1040 and a W-2, the table below can help you make sense of all the paperwork. It includes important information on some of the most common tax statements filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
