BLEWITT Arundel Newspapers Staff Writer DULLES — Lt. Gov. Donald S. Beyer is slated to head a commission on economic recovery created by the Virginia General Assembly this week. In an interview with Arundel Newspapers Friday, Feb. 15, Beyer said that he is funneling his energy into efforts to jump-start the state’s j economy through the new commission and by promoting Virginia as a leader in technology. “I really see most of my agenda for ’91 being caught up in trying to develop a very aggressive plan for economic recovery that we can implement through the course of this year and into the ’92 General Assembly session,” said Beyer. The commission, which cleared the Senate Tuesday and is expected to receive approval from the gover DONALD S. BEYER nor, is charged with developing strategies for economic development. Originally worded to designate Beyer as the chairman, the creating legislation was amended to make Beyer a member of the commission. The committee members are likely to elect Beyer as their chairman, a position that could serv e to spotlight the holder of the state’s second highest office, often seen as a stepping stone to the governor’s office. Virginia is currently grappling with a $2.2 billion budget shortfall. State revenues, which had been expected to grow by about six percent from the last biennum to the current biennium, grew by only three-tenths of a percent, the smallest increase since the Great Depression, Beyer said. See BEYER, p. 3 * OWL'S —J Schools will cut $200,000 Gangel looks to avoid hike in county taxes By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer School Superintendent David Gangel told the School Board last week he is trying to cut the state and local share of thetbudget by $200,000 so local taxpayers will not have to pick up state cuts. He said he has has also set goals of keeping all programs intact, not cutting back staff and continuing to improve educational services. Dr. Gangel said he does not plan to cut salaries, and that he also expects to keep intact the step increases that some employees are be eligible for. He said he is trying to be “very creative” in proposing cuts to meet these goals and that he hasn’t yet located all $200,000 in savings. He will present his proposed budget to the School Board at a special meeting March 5, and he said he does not intend to reveal details of proposed cuts until then. Dr. Gangel told the board there are three different revenue projections from the state. The Governor’s proposal would cut Rappahannock by $202,000. The budget bill passed by the House of Delegates would limit the cut to $160,760, and the one passed by the state Senate would decrease Rappahannock’s cut to $123,207, but Dr. Gangel said he expects Governor Wilder to prevail. A conference committee is meeting to w'ork out a compromise budget bill to present to the two houses of the General Assembly, but the governor has indicated he will veto any budget bill which is markedly different from See CUTS, p. 10 Students prepare for Science Fair By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Elementary and high school science students are preparing for a Science Fair to be held at the elementary school Feb. 28 and March 1. Students in all grades will be participating, although only winners in grades six and above will be eligible to participate in regional fairs in Charlottesville. Although models and demonstrations are allowed, students are encouraged to do research and conduct actual experiments. High school physics students will judge projects of groups in kindergarten through fourth grade. Faculty at both schools and community members will judge the older students’ work. Students will be entering work in six categories: chemistry, computer science, earth science, life science, physics, and models or demonstrations. Elementary Principal Bernard Chesshir told the School Board, “The emphasis is on the learning process. We want them to learn, not just enter to win.” Judging will take place Thursday evening and Friday morning. Also the fair will be open to the public from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday evening. That will also be a time when parents of students going on the seventh grade trip can hear a presentation about the trip. Magazine's focus is Rappahannock By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The March/April issue of Country Accents magazine includes three photo essays set in Rappahannock County by Franklin and Esther Schmidt of Woodville. The first is Ellis and Joanne Bingham’s combination kitchen and family room near Amissville. This house was included in the 1989 house tour. The house and kitchen area feature pieces collected by the Binghams during Col. Bingham’s Army career. Next is an article with pictures about last spring’s progressive dinner sponsored by the Bed and Breakfast Guild of Rappahannock County. It includes pictures of Sycamore Hill near Washington, Blue Knoll in Castleton, Caledonia Farm outside Flint Hill, the School House in Flint Hill and Heritage House in Washington. Also in the article are recipes for hors d’oeuvres from Blue Knoll, salad dressing from Caledonia Farm, squash soup from Foster-Harris House and a dessert from Heritage House. The Conyers House near Slate Mills, Thistle Hill near Boston and Bunree near Amissville also participated in the progressive dinner and are mentioned in the text of the article. The third photo essay is on Richard and Joy Cartwright-Brown’s Blue Knoll Farm Bed and Breakfast. A picture of their French pine table set for a breakfast of fruit and homemade breads also appears on the magazine cover. Mrs. Schmidt said that it something of a coincidence that these three articles related to Rappahannock County appeared in the same issue of the magazine. She said they submit ideas for articles to the magazine’s editor, Marilyn Hansen. Once the ideas are approved, the Schmidts take the photographs and write the text. Then the editor decides when they appear, she said. Mr. Schmidt takes most of the photographs, while Mrs. Schmidt describes her role as that of a “stylist.” The magazine sells for $2.50 and would normally be available at newstands in the area, but it is sold out because the subjects of these articles have bought up so many copies.

The famed Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park was built in the 1930’s by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps. The road winds along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, offering panoramic views of the Piedmont and the Shenandoah Valley. The 105mile-long drive provides access to most of the park’s 700 camping and picnic sites, two lodges, two visitor centers, and more than 500 miles of hiking and horse trails. rr The original Skyline Drive included more than 40 miles of stone wall roadside barriers. The native stone walls did not meet safety standards for roadside barriers. Designing special stone masonry walls with a concrete core that met both construction and aesthetic requirements was a difficult engineering challenge. Superintendent Bill Wade said “this award recognizes the outstanding efforts of many National Park Service employees in rehabilitating the Skyline Drive. We wanted to be environmentally sensitive, innovative and people conscious. Through their innovative efforts, we were able to rehabilitate this historic roadway to current safety standards while retaining the historic appearance.” ■ .1.,™ ■X.A—’X" "X ■"«!■.'JL A" f1 jywvw v^JK JLJtLtf Jt\J\JL Jt}* Jti XS^nUtC X -iWTC/iV ./ #1 AT Fauquier Hospital "Your Child And Heart Disease" According to the American Heart Association, about five percent of 5 to 18 year-old American children have cholesterol levels exceeding 200 mg/dl.

Panthers take 9-7 record to district tourney By LOU HATTER •Uppihannock Newt SUff Writer The Rappahannock Panthers continued their roller-coaster ride to the Bull Run District tournament this week, ending the season in front of a standing-room-only Parents’ Night crowd with a blow-out win against Stonewall Jackson on Tuesday, 95-71. The Panthers rebounded from a disappointing loss on Feb. 12 against Strasburg to rout Manassas Park Friday night, 78-63, on the Cougars’ home turf. The game featured a runaway second half in which the Panthers dominated, racking up 50 points in 16 minutes. Coach Gary Leake continued his season-long experiment in freely substituting from the bench, looking for the right combination of desire and technique from a team that has proven it has a deep reserve capability. Against Strasburg last week, the Panthers led most of the game, breaking open a 19-10 lead after the first quarter, then adding another five points while holding the Rams scoreless for the next three minutes. Then, Strasburg answered with a run of its own, racking up 13 points while holding the Panthers to a lone free thro# to move within two points, 25-23, before Bobby Jenkins nailed a basket at the buzzer to open Rappahannock’s lead to 27-23. The Rams came out of the locker room with a new intensity, adding 12 points to the Panthers’ four to take the lead for the first time, 33-31. But Rappahannock returned the volley with a 12 point rally of its own while holding the Rams to three points, opening the lead to 43-38 as the third quarter ended. Robert Cameron sparked the Rams’ offense in the final quarter, scoring nine points as the lead seesawed back and forth. As the game clock ticked down past one minute, the score was tied at 56 and the Panthers played a stall offense to run out the clock before going for a last second basket and the win. But once again, Cameron was in the right place, stealing the ball after a poorly executed in-bounds pass went afield with 11 seconds left. Heading for the basket, Cameron was fouled by Paul Hitt, but made both shots of a one-and-one opportunity to clinch the game for the Rams, 58-56. Bobby Jenkins led the Panthers both offensively and on the boards, scoring 17 points while collecting seven rebounds. Paul Hitt contributed another 16 points, while James Roy added 11. Rappahannock News phoCo/Cindy Mahan IT’S OUR BALL! Panther Michael Williams looks to the referee for a ruling as he and a Strasburg defender grapple for the ball during varsity action last week. The Panthers’ JV team fared better against the younger Rams, beating the visitors 51-28. The team was led by Greg Pendleton, who scored 12 points. On the road against Manassas Park last Friday, the Panthers exhibited an aggressive offense, but sloppy ball-handling let the Cougars keep the game close as they capitalized on 15 Panther turnovers in the first half. Coach Leake pulled his five starters at the end of the first quarter in frustration over their sloppy ball-handling. Bobby Jenkins, particularly, responded to the call with an outstanding night, scoring 13 points while grabbing 17 rebounds off the defensive boards. Paul Hitt led the Panther attack, scoring 17 points, while Jason Henry and Kenneth Baldwin each hit for another nine points. Hitt nearly singlehandedly controlled the game during the third quarter, scoring 11 of his points during that period. The Panthers built their lead from four points to as much as 14 before the buzzer. In the fourth quarter, it was the Cougars’ turn to fall victim to frustration, as fouls left them playing shorthanded during the game’s final minutes. As the clock wound down the Panthers dominated, finishing out the contest with a commanding 15 point lead, 78-63. On Tuesday, the Panthers gave the home crowd a lot to cheer about as they dominated the visiting Generals during the second half, racking up 33 points during the third quarter alone. Once again, Paul Hitt led the offensive attack with 31 points, including six of seven three-point attempts. Jason Butler also topped the 20point mark with 24, while James Roy contributed another 10. “It was the best game we played all year,” Coach Leake said of the victory. “We have played a lot of games for 25 or 26 minutes, but last night we finally went out and played for 32 minutes. It showed we are capable, if we program ourselves beforehand. The guys have to decide that.” The Panthers have a six-day layoff before beginning the Bull Run District Tournament next Monday night at Broadway High School in Timberville, just north of Harrisonburg. Rappahannock will play the second game, at 8:30 p.m., against either George Mason or Strasburg.

It may be a little longer for us to come out of it.” Beyer said he supports Gov. L. Douglas Wilder’s approach to the budget crisis. “If you look at what Virginia’s doing.

Were here to help. budget, do it with no new taxes and position Virginia as strong, pro-business and fiscally responsible,” said Beyer. The commission on economic recovery, said Beyer, stemmed from early efforts to solve the budget crisis. The lieutenant governor said he spent the first days of the 1991 General Assembly session exploring the idea of eliminating the capital gains tax in Virginia. Though state economists said that the suggestion could not be used, Beyer said he plans to use the commission to explore similar ideas. “This is my commitment that we have to do more than just balance the budget. We also have to stop the slide and turn it around and make it come back,” said the lieutenant governor. The commission would serve as an “economic development bank” to get small businesses going. In addition, Beyer said, it could work at pushing some programs that are not being used, such as adult education. “We have 1.2 million Virginians who never finished high school — 27 percent of our work force,” said Beyer. “In most of the counties south of Richmond, except for the Hampton Roads area, 60 percent of the adults never finished high school.” The state is spending about $800 per child for every $1 that it spends on adult education, according to Beyer. “In job creation and income creation, Virginia should be showing the way. To do that, we are going to need to look at break-through strategies, not little tinkering on the margins,” Beyer said, “but bold innovative thinking.” Spring is near...

He plans practices each day except Sunday, and will focus on one aspect of the game each day. “I’ve been telling them all year that the tournament is a completely new season. Our goal is to get to the regionals. To do that we’ve got to Win three games next week.

Rappahannock News photo/Lou Hatter PROCLAIMING AMERICAN HISTORY Month, Washington’s Mayor Dean Morehouse signs the document as History Month chairman Mrs. William Reed of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution, observes. DAR chapter marks U.S. History Month Representatives of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution met with Mayor Dean Morehouse for the signing of a Proclamation designating February as American History Month. Spot announcements of historical significance, past to present, have been placed in area high schools designed to be read over classroom loudspeakers. The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter has promoted the study of American History with an essay contest open to all fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders in Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties. The 1991 topic is “What the Bill of Rights Means to Me.” The local chapter has urged citizens to fly their flags, to observe George Washington’s birthday, and to study the biographies of American patriots who sacrificed their lives and fortunes so we might live in a nation established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity. Annually, the DAR sponsors a national Good Citizen Contest to graduating twelfth graders, the winner receiving cash scholarships to the college of the individual’s choice. Faculty of the high school selects three outstanding students, which are submitted to the senior class members for vote of one as the school’s “DAR Good Citizen. ” Half of the national judging criteria includes the grade transcript, a letter of recommendation, and a personal questionnaire of service' to family, school, church, future plans, special interests, high school activities and awards. The student also describes his or her own qualities defined by the DAR as those of a good citizen: dependability, service, lead-' ership, patriotism (unselfish loyalty to American ideals). The other 50 percent is an essay written in the presence of a counselor, “Our American Heritage and My Responsibility to Preserve It,” using no reference material. The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter is pleased to announce the 199091 DAR Good Citizen of Rappahannock County High School, Jeremy Tole, son of John R. and Judith Tole, Woodville, VA.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation. Trw a»v Audit Bureau Editorial ------ . i .• -- — ' .- - : Hearts and minds In our travels around the county, and in countless conversations with residents, the message we’re hearing directed at our men and women fighting in the Persian Gulf under the Stars and Stripes is that there are thousands of us worried about them, missing them and wanting them to know they’re in our hearts and minds daily. For some county residents, those with immediate relatives in the sand or stationed off the coast on ships, the prospect of a ground war holds a most terrifying thought: that their loved ones may have to die in the service of our country. The men and womenjn the Gulf ought to know that their parents, spouses and children are proud of them and all share one hope: that they will return safely. For those veterans who fought past wars, and Rappahannock has more than its share, the Gulf war has rekindled the emotions and memories of their patriotic sacrifice. One retired Marine officer, a veteran of the Vietnam War, said he has told more war stories in six months than in 20 years. We all hope the story of the Gulf war will be shorter and less bloody. We also hope that Gulf war veterans are treated like the heroes they already are, and in Rappahannock, at least, judging by the yellow ribbons ahd American flags displayed across the county, there’s no doubt they will be. We can be that certain because by any measure the outpouring of support has already been astounding. Every day we at the newspaper hear about another group forming, another symbolic act being performed, another soldier being told by his or her family that we’re waiting for your return. It hasn’t been a very long war so far, and there’s no way to be sure how long it will last. But there’s no question that given the depth of support in this community, no matter how long it takes we’ll be ready to welcome home our men and women with open arms. The young men and women fighting in Operation Desert Storm should know that a vast majority of Americans support President Bush, the Congress and the United Nations in choosing military action to root out Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. Though vocal, and not infrequently obnoxious, there is a minority of Americans who say they support the troops but oppose the war. However, you can’t have it both ways. It’s impossible to say that I hate what you’re doing but I support you personally. Unhappily, war is the final alternative. Saddam Hussein has guns, poison gas and the potential for nuclear weapons. He is a ruthless agressor and has never had a weapon that he didn’t use. To our fighting men and women in the Gulf: You are fighting a “just” war — and America knows it. Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News phoio/Cindy Mahan LAST WEEKEND’S FRIGID TEMPERATURES left ice on the Rush River in Harris Hollow. Letters to the Editor A just war? To the editor Our nation is not strictly Christian. Nor was it intended to be. True, most of our people have Christian roots. But our forebears conceived our Republic on the premise that its citizens be free to worship God as they chose. And so the great American experiment, unique on such a large scale, has produced the only truly pluralistic society in human history. From a Constitution based on JudeoChristian principles, such as the Golden Rule, has come a land dotted with mosques, synagogs, cathedrals, and temples of the Orient, all the way to the Amish who gather for worship in private homes. No person from a monolithic mindset would ever understand that such a nation could live in harmony. One East European observer remarked after the quiet revolution of 1989, “the Americans didn’t seize power, they didn’t take anyone’s territory; all they wanted was the same freedom for us that they enjoyed.” We Americans have won our freedom by fighting in wars. Along the way we have finely tuned the art. We turn the other cheek only so long. Freedom survives only if we are willing to fight and die for it. We believe in tolerance and compromise and peace; but we expect the same in return. One thing we cannot tolerate is intolerance. In a broken world of sinful humans war is sometimes necessary. For example, when an ambitious WHO ELECTED THOSE GUYS TO REPRESENT J OS <?// - r M DEMOCRACY AT WORK i f o.k.out-we'reA l TAKING OVER/J {S. ■mw • p I EDITORIALL I THE ATTEMPT BY BUILDING ANC 7 REAL ESTATE INTERESTS TO DLFEA1 ' legislation aimed at allowing LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ENACT ORDINANCES REGULATING TRANS FERABLE DEVELOPMENT R1GHTS(TDR SHOULD BE SEEN FOR JU5T WHAT IT IS: A BLATANT ATTEMPT TO PROTECT THEIR OWN INTERESTS AT THE. EXPENSE OF OTHERS tyrant overruns a small neighbor, shooting children dead in the streets, raping women in the streets, targeting civilian populations and terrorizing his pwn trustees in the process, basic human rights and freedom the world over is threatened. An old professor of mine used to say, “when someone comes onto my block and begins shooting at people, someone has to stop him. When someone decides to stop him, that’s war.” Unfortunately, the puny despots of history understand only one language. Once in a while we are compelled to speak that language. Thank God at such times we can. There is scarcely a member of our armed forces serving in the Arabian Desert today except for the cause of peace. They know full well they are there to restore balance to the region. They also know there can be no workable solution until the toys of war are destroyed. How this preposterous arsenal was amassed is beside the point. It must be neutralized. We Americans often feel uncomfortable in our role as policeman for the world. But frankly we are doing it because no one else will. The coordinating of this massive allied coalition is a step in the right direction. For the sake of all the oppressed of the world, we must succeed. And let us hope that it is a long, long time before anyone else foolishly underestimates the American spirit. REV.

RAAC appreciates community's help l o tne editor: The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and Community (RAAC) wishes to thank Dr. Alan Saunders and the Wakefield School for their generosity and community spirit in allowing RAAC to present two music concerts at Wakefield over the past two weekends. On Feb. 8, RAAC presented Peter Ostroushko of Prairie Home Companion fame, and on Feb. 15, Tony Rice and the Tony Rice Unit performed. Wakefield School allowed RAAC to use its auditorium and its reception area for both concerts, and the cooperation of the school and its staff was oustanding. The school facilities were spacious and very comfortable, and largely due to the help of Helen Foster, the custodian, RAAC had very little to do to get ready for the concerts. Due to the fact that RAAC is no longer using the Gay Street Theatre in Washington as its “home,” our programs in the near future will be held at various places within the county. We hope that our patrons will watch the Rappahannock News and our other publicity for notices of upcoming programs. We are still showing movies at the space previously known as the Gay Street Theatre in Washington, and we look forward to continuing our activities throughout the county in the future. With the help of cooperative people and organizations like Dr. Saunders and the Wakefield School, RAAC will continue to bring high quality programs to Rappahannock County.

4 GOP could turn Democratic in-fighting to its political advantage By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock New* Special Writer A seasoned political leader once told me the bottom line of politics is who is assigned credit and who is assigned blame. If you can successfully assign credit to yourself or your cause and blame to your opponent, then you’re a winner. But if the reverse is true, you lose. With that in mind, it seems the current General Assembly now playing out in Richmond is not only one marked by bad manners and moods but a three or four-way effort to assign credit and blame. The most heated battle has been an intra-party one between Gov. L. Doulgas Wilder and his Democratic supporters in the legislature'and a group of fellow Democrats who seek to soften the impact of Wilder’s draconian economic policies. Gov. Wilder, a born-again fiscal conservative, has captured not only national attention but the admiration of many conservatives with his program to meet the state’s worst fiscal crisis in modern times. He has eliminated some state agencies and proposed the elimination of some others, reduced the size of the state work force, threatened possible furloughs for some state employees, frozen spending for higher education and delayed salary increases for teachers and state employees. Old Dominion Politics His actions have caused loud cries from those who suffer pain from his tough policies and contentions from some Democrats that the governor is playing national politics at the expense of the needs of Virginia. A major battle was joined when the Senate, led by Sen. Hunter Andrews of Hampton, voted to spend half of a $200 million reserve fund that Gov. Wilder established and has said should be inviolate for the time being. Ignoring the governor, the Senate said the money should be spent on education and for other pressing needs. But it appears the House of Delegates will be reluctant to tap the reserve fund and even if it did, Gov. Wilder’s veto power will loom large. Through all of this, General Assembly Republicans have often sided with Gov. Wilder’s fiscal prudence while faulting him for not consulting the legislative branch more openly in advance of his decisions. It appears that the game being played amounts to Gov. Wilder telling the Democratic majority in the legislature he is seeking to clean up the fiscal mess they made, while Democratic legislators are seeking cover in an election year both from the fallout of the current bad economic times and the wrath of various constituencies who feel aggrieved by budget cuts. Last week, for instance, a number of state workers carried picket signs around the Capitol to protest Gov. Wilder’s suggestion that state workers be put on furloughs of up to 15 days to help save the state money. W. Rodger Provo, a businessman who helped make Linwood Holton governor, thinks Republicans may be missing a golden chance to come back into their own after a series of electoral disasters in the 1980s. His theory is that while Democratic leaders try to put all the blame for the state’s fiscal crisis on the current recession, the voters will be in a mood to assign personal blame come November and beyond. If the GOP can make the case - and Mr. Provo thinks it might be made - that poor management on the part of Democratic administrations and the Democratic majority in the legislature contributed greatly to the state’s financial woes, he be 'Our American heritage and my responsibility to preserve it' By JEREMY TOLE Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Visiting Thomas Jefferson’s home, Monticello, last spring really made an impact on me. I was attempting to gather research in order to write a term paper on Jefferson’s architectural marvel. Jefferson’s home is a testimony to the sort of man he was. Jefferson is a testimony to the sort of ideals and heritage that all Americans should possess. Society today seems to have drifted away from our once strong American heritage. There are many things which could be the cause of this. Among them is the fact that, as time goes by, peoples’ attitudes change. Somewhere along the generation line, our American heritage was lost. People think about money more these days than our basic American ideals of freedom, integrity and honesty. Going up on Jefferson’s “little mountain” outside of Charlottesville reminded me of the American heritage which we sorely need back in our society. I kind of wish that I had lived back then so I could better grasp what our true American hen tage was. I feel a very strong responsibility to preserve our American heritage The best way to do this is to educat< yourself and inform others of oui heritage. This can be done by read ing, taking classes, and even imagi ping an ideal heritage. Being a good citizen can be diffi cult, especially in these trying am confusing times.

Wilder came along to put anything aside for a rainy day and extragavant spending on luxury items that weren’t needed. He thinks Republicans could bring credit to themselves and blame to the Democrats by advocating innovative new programs calling for reduction of big government and privatization of such things as jails, liquor stores, school cafeterias and others, as well as tighter and more efficient management systems. “There’s a lot of discontent out there among voters with taxes and government in general and the Republicans could tap into it with the right strategy,” says Mr. Provo. Yet he sees no indication that the party is united enough to take advantage of the bickering and turmoil that is apparent among state Democrats. “Sometimes you get the feeling the Virginia Republicans have just run out of gas,” said Mr. Provo. There certainly seems to be no solid indication yet that the state GOP has moved to fully capitalize on the power struggle between the Wilder Administration and some of the Assembly’s most influential Democrats. But there is still time for Republicans to launch an all-out attack in legislative elections this fall. That would take the kind of unified strategy Virginia Republicans have seldom exhibited in recent years. John Goolrick, a former political reporter, is now an aide to Seventh District Congressman D.

Certainly not an unusual exclamation The snow, which was novel in November and welcomed in December, is merely tolerated in January, and declared a nuisance by February. Thanksgiving and Christmas are captured on film and New Year's Eve is but a memory. Still, we must bear the ice and freezing temperatures, at least through February Yet, toward the end of February there may be a most unusual day when Scriptures Selected by The American Bible Society the air is not quite so cold, and the sun seems to touch the earth with teasing, tantalizing fingertips of warmth melting the winter snow and making way for spring. Does it sometimes seem that you have more than your share of trouble and sorrow? Learn to know God. Psalm 46:1 promises us that God is “. . a very present help in trouble." Accept Him and let His love touch your life like the revitalizing warmth of an "earlier than spring" day. Copyright t99i. Keister Wdhems Newspaper Services P O Bo* 9005. ChehotlesviMe.

Cuts Continued from page 1 his proposal, Dr. Gangel said. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie asked Dr. Gangel to list proposals with his budget that would indicate how additional money would be spent if it is available. On another money front, Dr. Gangel reported that there is both good and bad news about the elementary school roof. The school has experienced several leaks through the Owens-Coming Fiberglass membrane on the roof. The leaks have been particularly troubling in the gymnasium and cafeteria area, although there have been some in other parts of the building. Dr. Gangel reported that because of Assistant Superintendent Robert Chappell’s “pleasantly persistent and pushy” communications, Owens-Coming has agreed to put another membrane on the roof over the gymnasium and cafeteria at no expense to the school system and to spend up to five days on additional repairs to the roof. Mr. Chappell said that the value of this work will be at least $15,000, but he reported that the bad news was that while the damage was being assessed, they discovered that several of the ‘Tectem” panels in the ceiling had slipped and would need to be replaced. This will cost $5,600. The ‘Tectem” panels are made from a combination of cement and straw, he said. He reported that there is “no imminent danger of the ceiling coming down,” but he said with people working on the roof, or under a heavy snow load, some panels might fall. Dr. Gangel also reported that some fire brick in the new coal furnace at the high school are damaged and will cost $735 to replace. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole asked, “Why is the fire brick deteriorating after three years? That’s distressing. Why doesn’t the designer want to step up to that? It suggests that the fire brick is low quality.” He said the school administration should demand the designer of the furnace give some explanation for why the fire brick is deteriorating after such a short period. “Let them know we don’t appreciate it,” he said. Dr. Garigel said he has estimated it will cost an additional $21,830 to build an underground vault for the fuel oil storage tank for the elementary school. Last month he estimated it would cost between $30,000 and $35,000 to replace the tank with a series of smaller tanks. He said he is still trying to replace the tank within the current budget but does not yet know if funds will be available. “Given the fiscal situation before us, I’m not sure where the money’s going to come from,” he said. Dr. Gangel reported that most school systems are burying their tanks without vaults, and that some are putting tanks above ground. That involves building diking around the tank, increased fire risk, and buying an off-loading pump that costs $4,000. “Vaulting below ground is the best solution, but it is also the most expensive,” he said. “It is painful to contemplate the extra expense,” Dr. Tole said. “But in the long run it could be a good investment.” Real estate transactions The following real estate transfers were recorded during the past week: Peter Kramer and others to Joel Fisher and wife, 1/2 interest in 3.9512 acres, Hampton District. $35,000.
