At a meeting Sunday at the Child Care and Learning Center vegetable growers who are members of the Virginia Association for Biological Farming (VABF) met with Jim Worsted, an agronomist from Kentucky, to discuss how agricultural research such as the research done by Virginia Tech and*»ther land grant universities could be more useful in promoting sustainable agriculture. The 1990 farm bill called for research promoting sustainable agriculture. To implement that the nation was divided into regions. Virginia is in the southern region which includes the states along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Virginia to Texas and the neighboring states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma. VABF is one of 41 organizations affiliated with the Southern SAWG. Many similar meetings will be held this winter and spring and the results will be used to promote sustainable agriculture research and education. John Bums, owner of Goat Hill Farm outside Washington and president of VABF, said that two recommendations to come out of Sunday’s meeting were that more research should concentrate on small and medium sized farms and farmer producers should be better represented on review boards that select pro-» jects for research funding. Richard Abel, who grows asparagus, lettuce and respberries organically at his farm on Route 622, said, “The purpose is to try to develop ideas for research we feel ought to be carried out by VPI and Virginia State into desireable ways of doing the least harm to the environment, to encourage sustainable practices to gradually replace more destructive practices now going on.” At a “brainstorming session” Sunday morning participants said that most farms in I the south are small farms, yet most research Supervisors turn down new school By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously not to approve $4.2 million for a middle school at Monday’s meeting. Following a free-ranging discussion during which Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said he would favor building a primary school, Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson said he would favor adding modular classrooms to give more time to study the options. Piedmont District representative Charles K. “Pete” Estes said he would not vote for additions, and Hampton District representative Mike Massie spoke in favor of additions, Mr. Massie made the motion to “deny $4.2 million for „ the middle school and ask the School Baord to pursue alternatives.” Col. Bingham seconded the motion, and one-by-one the others joined in the vote. The School Board had written to the supervisors asking whether the county would be willing to build the middle school starting by purchasing land for it by summer. The School Board had asked for a decision before their meeting next week. If the county can not support a middle school, the School Board has said it wants to put additions on both schools. Following the meeting Mr. Estes and Chairman Hubert Gilkev from Wakefield district said they would have supported a separate school with a lower price tag. Mr. Massie argued that the el ementary school was built for 775 students and that the core facilities will not be stressed by adding'more classrooms to increase the capacity to what it originally was, perhaps adding a second cafeteria line. He said if the county decides to build a separate school later and the additional classrooms aren’t needed, they could be converted to county offices, He said that the additional debt for a middle school would make the county’s debt almost as large as its annual budget and would add 11 cents to the tax rate. Mr. Massie called for a referrendum on building a middle school. “We were not elected on this issue," See School, Page A-8 Assembly considers changing phone rates By SHARON KILPATRICK kappahannm-k News Staff Writer One bill before the General Assembly might enable the people in the county to telephone each other without a toll charge, County Administrator John McCarthy told the members of the Board of Supervisors Monday. Mr. McCarthy explained that if people on one exchange want to call people on another now without paving a toll, subscribers in both systems have to vote to approve the change, which usually means a higher monthly rate. Under a bill introduced by Sen. R. J. Holland of Isle of Wight, the referendum would not be required if the increase does not exceed five percent or is due solely to rate regrouping. He said the senate bill had been passed out of the Local Government Committee. Mr. McCarthy said there are also bills in the General Assembly to help * focuses on farming practices for farms of 500 acres or larger. “Tfifc university j>eople are good problem solvers; they’re not good at deciding .what problems to solve,” one said. Some suggested there is a problem with the perception of farming and farm work. “Most consumers view American farming as what it is in the Midwest,” one said, “boring, isolated, capital intensive, an industrial model. We need a new model, more deversified, closer to urban centers, providing an adequate living for a person growing food." She suggested high school guidance counsellors should teach students that "agricultural labor is a good job to have. If we are less chemical dependent, we will be more labor intensive. Our goal should be to have more people working in farm jobs rather than fewer.” Results of this and similar sessions throughout the southeast will be used to set up a series of workshops to take place next winter and spring and to promote several research projects on sustainable agriculture. with paying for Enhanced 911 emergency systems. One would allow localities to use their secondary road budgets to put up and maintain street signs. Another would allow telephone surcharges to pay for increased operating costs for dispatchers. He said another bill that would allow Rappahannock and Fauquier counties to impose impact fees on developers for increased school costs is apparently dead. He said another bill requiring schools to furnish textbooks free had been amended to require that the state pay 100 percent of the costs. Mr. McCarthy said he did not expect this bill to pass. He said a bill had been introduced again that would require county officials wishing to appear before legislative committees to register as lobbyists. He said he did not See Bills, Page A-8 Resettlement parcels may need title work Many of the resettlement properties in the county may have a clouded title, according to Beverly Atkins, Rappahannock’s Commissioner of Revenue. “In recent months it has been brought to our attention that property formerly owned by the U nites States of America and used as resettlement property in Rappahannock county, might have a slight problem regarding the title,” she said. When the Unites States transferred ownership of this property, it retained a 3/4 interest in all mineral rights. “If this interest was not released at a later date, it is still in effect. Numerous people recently have found this to be a problem in either selling or refinancing. It clouds title to the property,” she added. The United States of America has willfully consented to release its previous interest in such properties, and an attorney can clear the title with a simple procedure, she added. Properties affected in this way are spread throughout the county and M s. Atkins urges owners to take the necessary steps to correct the problem. WSA plans interviews By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Members of the Water and Sewer Authority will be interviewing applicants for the position of sewer plant operator in early February and plan to meet again Feb. 10 to make an appointment. The new operator will be responsible for the sewer plant in Sperryville and for the sewer systems at Bad data dims light debate By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer At the last meeting of the Town’s Architectural Review Board (ARB) Town Councilman Mark Bailey rquested a ruling on a light fixture. The Town Council was asking the ARB to judge the appropriateness of the radial arm fixture, a sample of which is attached to a pole on Main Street be' tween the book store and the Health Department. Mr. Bailey was told by ARB member Ed Barton that the light bulb in that fixture is an experimental model. It will not be in production until the end of this year, he added. Mr. Barton said after the meeting that he got the information from ARB chairman Donna Kevis. She said earlier this week that she had been so informed by Donald Fentress, who represents Hadco, a large manufacturer of commercial light fixtures. The acorn-shaped fixture hanging in front of the Clopton House on Main Street was provided by Hadco. Mr. Barton, Mrs. Kevis and Mr. Fentress apparently have been misinformed. Phillips has been making the bulb in question, a 70 watt, color corrected, sodium bulb, for nearly three See Lights, Page A-6 the county’s two schools. The authority has received 11 apportions for the position. Six of the applicants have the needed certification. They decided to notify the other applicants that they might be considered for part-time employment as trainees after the operator is hired. • Currently the authority is contracting with Environmental Systems Services of Culpeper to operate the plant. ESS is receiving $2,800 per month. At the end of December the authority had $45,500 in a savings account, $2,600 in a checking account and $3,650 in bills to be paid. Since the beginning of the fiscal year the savings account has been drawn down to pay fines assessed by the State Water Control Board (SWCB) and the increased cost of operating the plant. “It’s very disheartening,” Chairman Eugene Leggett said. “We’ll end up burning everything we’ve got or have to go to a rate increase.” The authority hopes to cut expenses by hiring an operator instead of continuing its contract with ESS.

Turner. “Pesticide use has changed dramatically over the past several years, and we’re seeing the come-back of several species «uch as the Bald Eagle and Chesapeake Bay Osprey. We’re even seeing instances where pesticides are helping restore endangered populations such as the Virginia Round Leaf Birch by controlling disease and insects on newly-planted seedlings.” The video features dramatic footage of eagles and ospreys in the Bay area, tiny mussels in Creighton Creek near New Castle, Virginia, and stands of Virginia Round Leal Birch in the Mt. Rogers area and the Jefferson National Forest. In addition, the program features interviews with George Gilliam, chair of the Virginia Pesticide Control Board, and with Virginia farmers who have changed their pesticide use over the years because ot environmental concerns. The video is available on loan from VDACS for two to three week periods.

Stephen T. Canard, 29, of Front Royal was driving a 1989 Jeep on his way home from the Flint Hill Public House, where he works as the chef, when he collided with a 1988 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by John David Rinker, 22, of Flint Hill. According to a report filed by Virginia State Trooper S.M. Knick, Rinker was attempting to pass a south-bound 1988 Peterbilt tractortrailer truck when the collision occurred in the north-bound lane about one mile north of Rt. 637 at llrl5 p. m. last Tuesday night. '» According to Trooper Knick’s re, port, after colliding with Mr. Canard’s Jeep, Mr. Rinker’s pickup truck spun in the road and was hit by the tractor-trailer. Damage to the Peterbilt was estimated at $3,000. Its driver, Linwood F. Harris, 59, of Scottsville was not injured. Mr. Canard said Monday afternoon that although he feels like his Jeep, which was a total loss, he doesn’t look like it. In fact, he was able to return to work the next day, although stiff and sore. The accident occurred south of the Huntly dumpster site in a nopassing zone for south-bound traffic, according to Mr. Canard. Sgt. Adams said that Trooper Knick has charged Mr. Rinker with driving while intoxicated. Sgt. Adams also reported that Trooper Knick has charged a motorist with possession of marijuana following a traffic stop on Saturday afternoon.

Rappahannock Nows Mali Photo Cindy Mahan Kevin Jolliffe forces the ball up the court against Central. Short-handed basketball team loses two close games By M. SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Panthers dropped a pair of close basketball games after the exams, losing to Page County last Friday night and to Central on Monday. Injuries, discipline problems and gradfes have cut the varsity team from 15 to nine. As a result Kevin Jolliffe is the only senior left on the starting lineup. He played what may be the best game of his career against Central, scoring 29 points, Unfortunately the game was marred by consistly poor officiating. By the fourth quarter both coaches had, for the most part, stopped objecting to the calls that went against them. Several times when the referee had completely missed an outof-bounds call, the two men just turned and shrugged their shoulders. Down early at the beginning, the Panthers clawed their way back into the game and were ahead, 21-20, after the first quarter. Central mounted a nine point run half way Correction On Page One of last week’s Rappahannock News a burning house was described as belonging to Vemer Krebser.

The crowd came alive as the second half began when Rappahannock ripped off eight points in less than a minute. By the four minute mark, however, Central’s big front line had grabbed five offensive rebounds and put them back for points to tie the game at 51-51. By the end of the quarter the score was 60-54 for Central, and the Panthers could not close the gap in the final eight minutes. At the end, the game was decided at the foul line.

After the Central game, Rappahannock coach Gary Leake said he was proud of the way the team had played. He praised Jolliffe’s play highly and said he also was impressed with junior A1 Kellert, who Was starting only his second game at forward. “With eight rebounds and 10 points he was a vital part of our game,” Leake said.

The board also voted to purchase additional children’s books but postponed acting on proposed by-laws until a special meeting this week. Judy Lewis, who has volunteered to coordinate landscaping for the library, said she recommended planting five yellowood trees in the perimeter of the semi-circle in front of the library and blue princess hollies where the privet is now. The plan called for little leaf linden, but Mrs. Lewis said lindens are susceptible to Japanese beetles. She said the yellowood trees have a fragrant bloom in the spring and a solid yellow color in the fall. Mrs. Lewis estimated the cost at for the plantings at $2,000. She offered to take care of the planting for the first year. “It would be nice to have 100 percent survival,” she said. The board first looked to Ed Barton president of the Friends of the Rappahannock Library to see if that organization could donate funds for the plantings. Mr. Barton said his organization probably would pay for the planting “if that is what the Library Board wants.” Treasurer Helen Platt reminded board members that there are memorial funds that could be used for that purpose, and the board voted to use memorial funds to pay for the plantings. They then voted to use funds donated in memory of Penny Keesey to purchase children’s books. Circulation of children’s books has been declining, and members said they felt that it was because many county children have read all the books. Member Grace Sims said the funds donated in Mrs. Keesey’s memory were supposed to be used for books. The board went into executive session and approved a contract for librarian Nicki Lynch. When it came time to consider the proposed by-laws the board was sharply divided. At the November meeting the by-laws were presented. A by-laws committee made up of members Frank Warner, Steve Slade and John McCarthy presented the proposed by-laws and recommended that they be tabled with no discussion. There was no meeting set for December, and members were supposed to submit written recommendations for amendments by January 8. in time for the by-laws committee to meet, consider the written recommendations and report at the January meeting. Discussion would then be limited to proposed amendments. Mr. Warner, chairman of the bylaw's committee, said he had not received any w'ritten suggestions by the January 8 deadline, and moved that the by-laws be adopted as presented.

She said she believed member Lucia Kilby, who missed last Thursday's meeting, had also sent in written suggestions. Member Mary Jamieson said she had been ill and had not been able to get her suggestions in until the day before the meeting. “Although you have done a marvelous job of amassing this, I don’t want it railroaded through,” Mrs. Jamieson said. After considerable discussion the board voted not to consider the bylaws at the January meeting but to set a special meeting for February 4 to go over the proposed by-laws page by page. “We can be very quick about this,” Mrs. Sims said. “I doubt that, but possibly,” Mr. McCarthy said. The by-laws call for a nine-member board to be appointed by the Board of Supervisors for four-year terms beginning Jan. 1. Three mem bers would be appointed each yean After serving two four-year terms <1 member would not be eligible for an* other term until he or she had been off the board for one year. The proposal calls for a drawing to determine terms of the current members. Four were appointed last summer. Although these would seem to be the most controversial parts of th^ 16-page document, some of the members apparently want to recommend changes in other sections. At the meeting Chairman Wil. liam Young reported that Bob Scott had donated a public address system which had been used at evening programs. “It really helps,” he said. Mrs. Lynch reported that the library had received a donation from the Potomac Edison Company to help link the library to the materials on computer at the high school. She also reported that she understood amendments had been introduced to the state budget that would increase funds for libraries. Del. Wood withdraws medication cost bill By PATRICK GRAHAM Rappahannock News Special Writer RICHMOND — State Del. Jerry M. Wood, D-31st District, owner of Fauquier Pharmacy in Warrenton, withdrew last week his legislation that would have required drug manufacturers to lower the prices of drugs sold to pharmacies and other drug retailers. Wood said the bill would have corrected huge disparities in drug prices charged to pharmacies and the state Department of Health. For example, the state government pays about 60 cents for a package of birth control pills while a pharmacy pays $20 for the same package. Wood said. “If I can buy cheaper then I can sell cheaper," said Wood. “The bill was in the best interest of the consumers of the commonwealth." The House Health, Welfare and Institutions Committee on Jan. 19 voted unanimously to allow Wood to kill the bill after the pharmaceutical industry threatened that the bill would force the industry to raise prices on drugs sold to the state. “I would end up costing the state money,” Wood said, saying the bill could have cost the state’s Medicare program $23 million. “This is the way the drug manufacturers play the game.” The drug manufacturing industry argued that the bill violated federal anti-trust laws, was unconstitutional and would even tually lead to higher prices for consumers and state governments who are routinely given discounts on drugs. “It would have the effect of eliminating the incentive of price competition among retailers,” said Jeff Trewhitt, spokesman for the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association. He said the Federal Trade Commission has ruled that it is legal for drug makers to sell the same drug at different prices to different buyers, in essence, offering quantity discounts and other incentives for volume purchases. Despite Wood’s argument that the bill would mean lower drug prices for consumers, some committee members privately questioned why the bill was introduced in the first place. In addition, some committee members questioned why a pharmacist introduced a bill that would ultimately benefit himself and pharmacists across the state. However, according to state law, the bill didn’t violate the state’s conflict of interest laws since the bill would benefit every pharmacy, not just Wood’s store. Pointing out that lawyers who are members of the General Assembly submit legislation that benefits their industry. Wood suggested, “who else is better to know about the pharmacy industry” than a pharj macist. > •r CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH DODGE_JEEP EAGLE Vtm Chrysler Wins Again. 1991 Eagle Talon TSIAWD 5 SPEED.

Editorial This bill is fraudulent In among the letters to the editor this week is an epistle from Del. Robert F. McDonnell (R-Virginia Beach) who is somewhat upset at the General Assembly’s latest foray into the abortion debate. Provoking his ire is a “parental notification bill” sponsored by House Majority Leader C. Richard Cranwell. This creative piece of legislation would apply to girls younger than 16, but would not, in fact, require any sort of parental notification. Instead it would allow pregnant girls to “notify” any number of adults other than her parents: other family members, social workers, clergy, and counselors. You should know that Rep. McDonnell is opposed to abortion on demand. Even so, his criticisms of the bill seem well founded. Regardless of your feelings on abortion, this bill is a bad deal. These requirements are so trivial that they would do nothing but clutter an impossibly bloated state code. We do not need laws like this one. Those opposed to abortions on demand should understand that Rep. Cranwell’s bill is a farce. Del. Robert G. Marshall (R-Manassas) has introduced a real parental notification bill with a 48-hour waiting period and the requirement that parents of both the girl and the father be notified. Should it somehow get through the General Assembly it faces an almost certain veto by Gov. Wilder. Those who favor legalized abortions should understand that this bill is an election-year ploy that will permit legislators who actually support abortion to cater to those who do not. The voters do not need this charade. The Writer's Art 2 Watch where you put those pesky adjectives By JAMES J. KILPATRICK j Universal Press Syndicate • A tidy English sentence is like a tidy dresser drawer. A place for everything, and everything in its place. When words and phrases get out of place, the consequences can be startling. The Associated Press filed a story from Mobile last year. “Can homosexual couples legally get married in Alabama?" The AP answered its own question: “A court official in Mobile, armed with a 9-year-old attorney general’s opinion, said they can’t.” It seems to me a fair surmise that the opinion, not the attorney general, was 9 years old. Something was just a tad out of place. In The Palm Beach Post last August, a reviewer found something a bit dated about ,“Trouble in Tahiti.” For example, there were those “wide men’s ties.” What the producer needed were skinny men’s ties. _ We have to watch where we put our adjectives. The Charleston . (S.C.) Post and Courier carried a ?! feature story about a woman who ; had a flair for baking. She decided to ; develop her own product line. “Be< ing the rabid dog lover that she is, she decided to venture into the dog : treat business.” Well, even rabid dogs need love. Prepositional phrases give the , most trouble. They tend to wander off. The Portland Oregonian reported that an escaped convict came out second best in a run-in with po; lice: “SWAT team members shot Wall, who had been serving a sentence for driving with a suspended license before he broke into his wife’s house, in the left arm.” In Eugene, Ore., The Register Guard reported a rape case: “The woman was able to run away, but the man forced her back to the car and sexually assaulted her on the hood and fender area, the sheriffs office said.” You hever know about areas. The Miami Herald carried a story in December about sexual harassment on Capitol Hill. Devon Anderson works in the office of Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan. He treats women with respect and dignity, but once a male lobbyist came into the office. She said he pinched her buttocks in the reception area. Prepositional phrases should be tucked away as neatly as socks and undershirts. There was nothing tidy about an item in the Spartanburg (S.C.) Herald-Journal in December that concerned the arrest of Thomas Cope on a rape-charge. “The girl identified Cope as one of three men who kidnapped her from a police photograph lineup." Something spilled in the Canton (Ohio) Repository last March. A staff writer reported from Massillon: “Conrail trains were running again Tuesday after a derailment dumped more than a ton of corn syrup and cornmeal destined to become beer near downtown.” In Vero Beach, a reporter for the Press-Journal provided a story from Washington, D.C., on senatorial efforts to cut waste. The senators were chopping away at executive branch projects, “including a federal study of swordfish mating to the chauffeurs of two government bureaucrats.” That’s one congressional study that might be worth reading. © 1993 Universal Press Syndicate* Rappahannock News Stall Photo/Cindy Mahan Rappahannock Heritage Sharron Proper shows off her dog puppet at the Wrenwvck Puppet show at the library Mopday night.

GREGORY WILLIAMS Flint Hill Sales tax law clearly unfair To the Editor: The State of Virginia’s campaign to enforce the I960 Use Tax Act. makes one mindful of some of the “Use-less" taxes imposed upon the early Colonists in the mid-lKth century. The Sugar Act of 1704, and the Stamp Act of 1765, were examples of “fiscal” measures imposed by Parliament, and later proved to be the sparks which ignited our American Revolution. In Mr. Coulombe’s article, Ms. Janie Bowen ,‘Brown?’ of the Virginia Department of Taxation, failed to inform you readers that the State is not only enforcing this tax currently, but retroactively. In fact, the State of Virginia has gone at least, three, if not more, years retroactively. The State has also imposed an additional penalty of .26468 upon the .045 tax. To further incite the taxpayer, they advise if this fax is not paid within thirty (80) days, a 80 percent penalty plus interest w ill be due. In light of these facts. Ms. B*»vven's statement regarding "fairness” seems emphatically absurd. When the State of Virginia aggressively pursues collecting a tax through subpoenas of records and information. it ceases to be an "honesty" tax, but an invasion of privacy. Virginia citizens BEWARE! EVELYN M. KERR Flint Hill Parental notification bill a fraud To the Editor: The recent introduction of HB 2202 embodies a radical departure from the parental notification for minor's abortion bill supported by the overwhelming majority of Virginians and passed by the 1092 General Assembly (subsequently vetoed by Governor Wilder). The purpose of this letter is t(? dispel the confusion that is already being engendered by this counterfeit notification bill. The contrast between last year’s successful legislation and this year’s fraudulent version needs to be drawn. The 1992 General Assembly passed legislation that would have required a doctor to notify one parent of the underage minor before an abortion could be performed on her; notification to Child Protective Services if there were evidence of parental abuse with subsequent VIRGINIA POLITICS TODAY DO YOU RECO&NIZE f No / NOT YOOR PARTY? 1 AT ALL/ LINCOLN NjOO svt & r FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED HONORABLE THE PARTIES OF LINCOLN 4 JEFFERSON waiver of parental notification or expeditious notification to a juvenile judge. In case of an emergency, prior parent notification would not be required. After years of passage by the House of Delegates, and defeat by a hostile Senate committee, a true parental notification bill passed both Houses in a carefully constructed, compromise form that fulfilled the constitutional requirements for parental notice laws upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1991. Since the Governor did not see fit to fulfill his campaign pledge to sign the parental notification bill, we are once again committed to legislate only sound, reasonable laws to protect both young girls and the compelling interests of their parents. This new bill, however adds many new twists. The most telling aspect of this new guise is that legislators previously opposed to genuine parental notification laws are now sponsoring this new counterfeit notification bill. Although the bill is presented as “parental notification,” that title is a misnomer of great proportion. First, the bill does not apply to all minors, but only to girls under the age of 1(5, a change soundly rejected by the House, the PTA, and manv family advocacy groups in 1992. Secondly, it would require notice to a guardian, adult family member, “counselor,” or minister over the age of 18. Counselor is defined in the bill in such a way that a profitable abortion clinic copld hire a staff “counselor” to be on duty to acknowledge that a counselor had been^notified.” Clearly, the fox would guard the henhouse. linr luupuuic giuws larger man the Grand Canyon with the further addition of these words: “The minor shall determine who will be notified and in no event shall any person be notified over the minor’s objection.” Since all girls undergoing abortions at abortion clinics are advised by “counselors” this bill is in fact a certain and effortless way to circumvent notice to all parents. The bill further states that “conclusive evidence” of notice can be provided by simply showing that the notice was “sent in the mail,” to the “last known address of a guardian, an adult family member, or counselor. ..” Therefore, a Virginia minor wishing to avoid notification could mail the notice to her sister in Alaska, where she was thought to be living years ago. Even if the letter happened to find the family member, the abortion would be long since performed prior to the letter’s arrival. This bill is not only deceptive, but politically clever. Delegates who oppose parental notification will be running for re-election this November, and they know that the majority of Virginians favor parental notification. Even Governor Wilder campaigned on a pledge to support it and President Clinton signed a genuine parental notification law while governor of Arkansas. But these delegates know that their opposition to parental notifica tion might be very unpopular at home and paint them as hostile to parents’ rights, and children’s best interests, perhaps jeopardizing their seats. Thus, they have introduced this counterfeit, “anybody but the parent bill with the deceptive title. They know full well that this bill will not require parental notification, but that they can vote for it and tell the voters that they supported “parental notification.” The irony is that most of these opponents of parental notification voted in the Assembly to ban underage consumption of tobacco products and alcohol, and the purchase of firearms - yet they think that these same underage girls ought to be considered adult “consumers” of abortion. And what of the good, decent parents of Virginia? This counterfeit bill is a slap in the face to them. A parent either fathers or gives birth to a daughter, cares for her, pays the bills and raises her - yet these opponents of parental notification feel that the State should deny a parent’s right and terminate parental custody and input during a young daughter’s abortion decision. One parent complained to me: “Those delegates think we’re good as breeders and bill payers, but for nothing else.” With bills like this obstruction of a parent’s solicitude for his or her own daughter’s well-being, I can understand why such a charge would be made. I urge the three quarters of Virginia citizens who support genuine notification contact their delegates immediately on this bill. RER R. F. MCDONNELL 84th Dst., Virginia Beach Please remember Justice Marshall To the Editor: As we enter the month of February and another Black History month, it is only right and fitting to remember a man of true greatness and perhaps one of the top ten most influencial figures of the 20th century: Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who died last week at the age of 84. In my own small way I wanted “to do something” to honor this great man. When it was announced that his body would lie in state in the Great Hall of the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., I knew in a moment that I wanted to be there. As I drove pass the Supreme Court building just after dusk a line ran down the front stairs, onto the sidewalk and dowrn the block (thousands had already paid homage before me that day). It was 6:10 p.m. in the evening. Selfishly, I thought, (I’ll be standing out in the cold, in that line, long after 10 p.m.!) The time the doors would close. Yet, I felt in my heart that standing in that line, to file quietly pass his flag-draped coffin was the least I See Letters, Page A-5 «

From Page A-4 could do for this giant of a man to say thank you. Thank you for all that he had given during his lifetime in his quest for Civil Rights for all people of America. Ironically, I saw Justice Marshall only once in person about six years ago. Of all the places to be, he was waiting at the D.M.V. to get his driver’s license renewed. I heard the ■ service representative shout his • name to claim his picture I.D. ! “THURGOOD MARSHALL!” I ; looked around and thought to my. self, “Nah. . .no way!” Then I saw ; this tall large figure looming toward the pick-up window to claim the li! cense. He humbly and graciously picked up the I.D. and turned toward the door. I was shocked. Frozen. Amazed. ; I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I am still kicking myself for losing all composure and missing the opportunity to at least shake his hand. This incident is just an indication of how (ordinary) he thought he was. He could easily have sent someone else to carry out this task. But, he didn’t. He was. . .extraordinary. I’ll never forget that day at the D.M.V. nor those history making days long before. Note: CBS will air a special program highlighting the life and times of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall on Sunday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. Don’t miss it! M. NANETTE BUTLER Washington, D.C. Formerly of Sperry ville RAA president thanks helpers To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the coaches, parents and sponsors for making 1992 a great success! In 1992 we grew from 200 players to over 300. We added a new team in each of the minor, major, and 13-15 Babe Ruth divisions. We even started our girls softball program with two 6-12 year old teams. We made some field improvements adding dugouts and bleachers. For the first time the R.A.A. hosted a district 10 and under tournament. Every coach involved of the 13 coaches from all teams in our district had higlfpraise for our handling of the tournament and the condition of the fields. We have been asked to host the 13-15 year old tournament this year. A decision on that will be made soon. The R.A.A. is not only making an impact in our community but throughout the district too. But the job is not finished. This year we would like to acquire more county support, complete negotiation with the county for the use of the former dumpster site on Route 642, complete Stuart field improvements and unify the two ends of the county. All these goals can only be accomplished with the continued support of the coaches, parents, community businesses and officials. With cooperation, dedication and a little hard work, I believe we can have another successful baseball season. In an effort to unite the league, this year we are planning Xo hold a single county-wide draft for 5-12 year old’s. Coaches will be allowed to pick players from anywhere in the Babe Ruth Geographical Bounda ries. In the past, Amissville coaches picked players from that end of the county and Sperryville coaches picked players from that end of the county. This has tended to cause an east-west divisiop within the league. In addition there is a financial burden put on the league; as an example one end has to many players in an age group and we must create new teams, while the other end may be having a hard time fielding a team in that same age group. With this in mind on Thursday, Feb. 11, at the Board Meeting we are asking for anyone interested in expressing their views on this subject to come and do so. The meeting will be held at the AmissVille Fire Hall at 7:30 p.m.. RICHARD PENTECOST Amissville Wilder's political stances decried To the Editor: Who died and made Dour Wilder king? Little dictator would probably be more accurate. After kissing up to every faction, particularly the educated white, he suddenly turns and tries his best to divide Virginia along strict racial lines. With not enough courage to come out in the open and actually join the Virginia Black Caucus, he slips around hinting that he can control and deliver every black vote in Virginia to any candidate who pleases him. He surely should realize by now, if he is in touch with reality, that he was elected by a fluke and those deluded, white majority voters have had many months to observe his antics. Let us give him his desire and allow ourselves to be divided along racial lines! That would not mean that we would be rolling in the muck with him. It is simply delivering the message that Virginians may be fooled into giving such a person a chance once but we are awake now. He has done a favor for Mary Sue Terry that will assure her election as our next Governor by his animosity towards her. He simply cannot understand a person like Ms. Terry, who does the job for which she was elected, is supremely capable, is dedicated to all Virginians, and therefore, has no need to grovel to him or to follow his example of getting elected by kissing up. BETTY THOMAS Meadows of Dan Reader opposes middle school To the Editor: Two items featured in your paper of Jan. 20 caught my interest due to their apparent slant towards an opinion that I do not feel is shared by the majority of your readers. Firstly, on the front page you headlined a story about the school budget to imply that drastic financial problems were about to beset our schools. However, upon reading the article, I found that the “MAJOR BUDGET SQUEEZE” so shrilly proclaimed by your headline was in fact an amount of approx. $7000, which, when figured as a percentage of the total school board budget ($4.7 mill.), amounted to approx, one sixth of a percent, hardly the type of number one would consider a major problem. Secondly, I was amazed to find the editorial on page 4 dedicated to the topic of convincing your readers of the necessity of a middle school in Rappahannock. Was there not a public hearing last year on this very, topic where the overwhelming majority of a very large attending crowd voiced the opinion that a middle school was not a viable option in light of the alternative of expansion to existing facilities? And didn’t the school board sub—v sequently study several options and conclude that an expansion program at the elementary school was the best choice? Despite these occurences (which I don’t think were my imagination) here we find the Rappahannock News proclaiming that the plan espoused by a very vocal minority is the one to be adopted. To address some of th£ points made: -You state that with the expansion, the elementary school would have a minimum of two and probably three vacant classrooms as a contingency for future population growth. Does that not provide a sufficient cushion for a growth that is neither fully expected nor fully supported? -You state that if the middle school is built, we would have a minimum of 10 vacant classrooms at the elementary school. Can we afford that type of luxury? -If a middle school is built, then wouldn’t we have to address the state's vocational education requirements for middle schools? And would this lead to a voe. ed. center here in the county? And how much would that cost? And are there any other hidden expenses that a middle school would bring into the taxpayer’s fold? -Why is building now rather than waiting 10 or even five years (after SINKHOLE RELIEF FUND A fund has been started for the Bartles family whose home and belongings collapsed into a sinkhole on November 7,1992.

I will probably need a larger house in 10 years time but that doesn’t mean that I should immediately borrow money and commence construction, does it? Wouldn’t it be better to wait on borrowing so much money when we may find that A) we don’t need such a facility after all or B) there may be programs around in the future to better help us pay for such a facility? Lastly where is the Rappahannock News getting information that leads them to believe we will have a continued and sustained growth in our population, specifically the population of our school age children? Have all Rappahannock citizens of child bearing age signed a secret pledge to reproduce like rabbits over the next few years? I think the answers to these questions are no, no, no and no, which is why I have to give an emphatic NO to any suggestions of building a middle school in the near future. I think taking a chance on wasting a little time now is vastly preferable to taking a chance on w asting a LOT of money now, especially when that money comes from the pockets of myself and my fellow tax paying citizens. I am a product of the Rappahannock County Public Schools and I am as proud of them and support public education as much or more than most in this county. We are blessed with a conscientious school board, an innovative administration and a core group of dedicated teachers. Building a middle school will put such a strain on an already groaning tax base that future tax increases to fund higher teacher’s salaries, extracurricular activities, or any number of the less glamourous things that make a school system successful would be met with howls of protest from a righteously indignant tax paying populace. I strongly feel that an expansion project consisting of an addition to the elementary school (perhaps in conjunction with a teacher's raise) is the best solution to the problems we have now and can expect to have over the next few years. If your readers feel as I do, I urge them to write or call their supervisors. JAMES E. SWINDLER II Sperrvville Legislature proves government can work By JOHN GOOLRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer There is something about getting back to the Virginia General Assembly that makes me feel government can work after all. Watching Congress operate is sometime akin to having teeth pulled. The system is protracted and wearisome because it is built on such a vast scale to make the laws for a nation of more than 280 million people. In Richmond, though, a former reporter returning for a day finds, even in the first few days of the session when things are just tuning up, an eagerness on the part of legislators to get things done as quickly as possible. Several members were complaining that after a week or so few bills were coming to the floor for debate and disposition. They were acutely aware that they would have just 45 days to make decisions on 1,500 or so pieces of legislation that would find their way into the process. In Washington, by contrast, nothing much was taking place in the new Congress except confirmation hearings that were generally routine except for the now famous case of Zoe Baird. It will be a long while yet before significant pieces of legislative wend their way through various committees and subcommittes to come up for floor votes. Go to a meeting of the branches of Congress and the chambers will be empty as you probably already know from watching C-span. But attend sessions of the Virginia House of Delegates or State Senate and nearly all members are there prepared to debate legislation and cast their votes. It is refreshing to witness citizen-legislators actually listening to what each other may be saying. On this day many memories are stirred. Presiding over the House is Speaker Thomas Moss, a friend who was regarded as a young upstart liberal when he first came to Richmond a quarter century ago. In the State Senate majority leader Hunter Andrews is discussing some fine point and, as usual, is three jumps ahead of the opposition. I can recall the cutting wit he exhibited when he first arrived in the Senate in the 1960s and it is good to know his words have lost none of their bite. There are still people around from the days of the 60s and 70s and early 80s when I spent a couple of Virginia Through ' Both Barrels months each year covering the assembly - distinguished veterans such as Sen. Charles Waddell of Leesburg or V. Earl Dickinson of Louisa. But there are also many newcomers. I have heard many of the names, but don’t recognize all the faces and that too is good since infusions of new blood are usually beneficial to any organization, including those that make laws that govern our lives. The best part about being in Richmond is that you can actually see the people who make the laws and others who participate in the process. At the General Assembly lobbyists really do wait in lobbies to corner legislators and legislators ride in elevators along with the general public. In Washington, by contrast, the high powered lobbyists practice their trade very discreetly and out of public view and members of Congress ride in their own elevators. In the space of a month and a half the ordinary citizens who make up the General Assembly will decide many crucial issue ranging from gun control to welfare reform. The pace will be hectic and sometimes brutal and there will be those who say our representatives should be given more time to study legislation and make their decisions. Perhaps, but I hope we will guard against the danger of the state legislature becoming too much like Congress. The reason the legislature meets in January is because the1 early leaders of our state wanted to make' sure citizens who served in it could get home by spring to tend to the planting. When the day comes our legislature must meet into spring and on the summer and fall it won't seem like returning home to me any more.

Poor notice thins crowd at game commission hearing By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock News Special Writer VIENNA — What if they gave a public hearing and nobody came? That was very nearly the situation Monday night as the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries held a public meeting “to solicit input on hunting and trapping regulations for the 1993-94 and 199495 season” at the National Wildlife Federation Building. The green blazers of the department’s officials well outnumbered the few members of the public who were in attendance. Charlie Taylor of Herndon, the outdoor columnist for ArCom Newspapers, complained at the start of the public comment period that insufficient notice had been given about the meeting. “I found out about this meeting at 2 p.m. this afternoon and my deadline for getting an announcement in our newspapers was last Monday,” Taylor said. “I called every sporting goods shop in Northern Virginia this afternoon, trying to get some people out here tonight. . . obviously, I didn’t do a very good job.” Local media outlets were notified of the meeting through a press release which was mailed from Richmond on Jan. 25 and was received too late for publication in last week’s newspaper.

We ask for the game commissioners to help to let us know when these things are scheduled.” After conferring among themselves during a break in the meeting, game department officials agreed to schedule another public meeting at the same location, starting at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 18. “Right from the start, things being jammed up the way they are, we didn’t give a lot of notice,” wildlife biologist Rick Busch told the gathering. “Only the most dedicated of our constituents were able to make it out here tonight, so we’re going to be here again on Feb. 18th and maybe that will solve part of the problem.” A range of topics was open for discussion at Monday’s meeting and the Feb. 18 public hearing will cover the same subjects, including: • Schedule changes to avoid the dual opening of archery and squirrel seasons. • A proposed earlier start for archery deer season. • Adjustments to the bear chase season schedule. • Extending the length of the firearms deer season, including the statewide muzzleloader season. • A plan to increase deer limits on private land through a system of bonus deer permits. • Streamlining the state’s game tag system. • An increase in “doe days” during deer season. Most of all, however, game department officials seem eager to hear of any proposals which would get more money into their cashstrapped budget. In particular, they’re lobbying the public in favor of a bill introduced last week in the General Assembly, calling for about $2.3 million from the state’s boat title tax to be earmarked for the Department of Game and Indland Fisheries. During an hour-long public comment period — which would have run longer had there been more people on hand interested in commenting — other suggestions were made for generating more income. Former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department chairman John Gottschalk of Arlington, whose business card now simply reads “Conservationist," praised the game dpeartment “for the way the department has moved to bring itself into the 21st century and this effort to find new sources of revenue.” Gottschalk, w ho served in the national post from 1964 to 1970, said “the wildlife of Virginia is a heritage for all Virginians, not just those buying hunting and fishing licenses. . It's important that the effort go forward to sustain the total array of wildlife in the state, especially the non-game kinds of wildlife.” Jay Tutko, who said he hunts in Mecklenburg County, proposed a wildlife management area stamp such as that issued in South Carolina. “It’s in the $30 range and anyone using the wdldlife area — campers, hikers and hunters — has to buy one. I’d be in support of applying that idea in Virginia, even if you wanted to start out with a smaller fee, like $10,” Tutko said. Tutko also proposed that the dates for quail season be uniform in the east and west parts of the state and that the department enforce a “quiet week” between the end o£ themuzzleloading season and th<£ start of the general deer season^ “The first week of the regular season hasn’t been very good,” Tutko saidv “Let’s have seven days to let things, get back to normal.” E There was also a discussion in fa£ vor of asking the state legislature to transfer some state sales taxes cot lected on outdoors-related items for the use of the game department. Game officials also heard from another self-identified conservationist, Joyce Wilkinson. Mrs. Wilkinson raised a number of issues, including the diminishing number of baby white swans now being counted on the Chesapeake and her concerns about the state’s bear population. “Normally, 20 percent of the white swans coming down from Canada on the Chesapeake have been signets, the baby swans,” she said. “It’s down to two or three percent this year. I was distressed to hear that it was legal to shoot baby swans. I don’t know why anybody would want to do that. Maybe it happens by accident.” Wilkinson, talking about the bear population, noted that “we’re always assuming that the more bears we kill, the more bears there are. Bears are very low reproducers and we can’t be too careful.” The specific questions of changes in hunting regulations for the next season were discussed briefly. Sterling businessman Joe Morga questioned why “muzzleloading gunjs are legal one week and illegal the next week. That’s like saying that robbing a bank is okay one week but not the next . . . why not let mui zleloaders be legal throughout th£ entire season?” The game officials also heard comments in favor of the bear chase season, though Wilkinson spokb against it. “I’m not excited about this dog chase,” she said. “I’ve heard some real horror stories in the past about what exactly goes on in these chases. ... It doesn’t sound very sporting.” Taylor expressed surprise afterward that no anti-hunting activists had attended the meeting, while noting, “with such short notice, it’s ^ surprise that anyone was here.” The National Wildlife Federation Building is located at 8925 Leesburg Pike (Route 7). Rappahannock hunters take more deer, bear luiiimai By JOHN LEWIS PITTS Rappahannock News Staff Writer The numbers are in. And the 1992-93 deer harvest for Rappahannock County was up substantially over last season’s, reflecting the trend statewide. Rappahannock was one of the state’s best bear counties, with 31 reported killed. That was a dramatic increase over 18 bears killed the year before, bucking the statewide trend. The county reported a harvest of I, 778 deer, best since 1990’s 1,756 and up considerably from last year’s total of 1,505. There were 45 turkeys reported killed, down slightly from last year’s 52. For the entire state, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries reported a total kill of 200,446 deer, up 11 percent from last season. Most of the kills — about 127,000 — came east of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where the season runs for six weeks. The season west of the Blue Ridge runs just two weeks. The top Virginia counties for deer were Bedford (6,826), Loudoun (6,093) and Southampton (5,550). Statewide, turkey totals were II, 460, up eight percent from last year’s 10,534 but somewhat less than had been expected. The state’s top counties for turkey: Botetourt (490), Bedford (371) and Bath (331). Statewide, there were 482 bears reported killed, down significantly from last season’s 663. It’s thought that early hibernation may have played a role in the lower total. Rappahannock’s 31 bears tiefl them for fifth place among Virginig counties. Other top bear counties! Rockingham (58), Page (49) and AiE gusta (37). Madison and Shenandoafi counties also reported 31 bears. J Some hunting numbers from neighboring counties: Z • Hunters in Fauquier were cretfc ited with killing 3,930 deer, up from 3,550 last year. Fauquier huntens were also credited with 60 turkey!, compared to 69 a year ago. No beai$ were reported to have been killed ip Fauquier County. » • Culpeper County reportejj 1,650 deer, 78 turkeys and one bear; • Prince William County reported 1,014 deer — down from last yearS 1,139 — and 37 turkeys. ; Figures for other neighboring counties were not immediately avaiK able from game department officiate in Richmond. J Nearly 40 percent of thfc statewide kills were does. The de<$total includes 17,646 killed by bow hunters and 12,115 killed by blactepowder muzzleloading guns. Botfi figures were up from last season. I Last season’s hunting statistic are being made public even as the game department is starting tl» process of revising state regulation^ for the 1993-94 and 1994-95 hunting seasons. ■ A regional meeting for this area was held Feb. 1 in Vienna and ws& poorly attended.

. . __ - T iii i. . , Rappahannock New> Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Dick McNear holds up his prized lamp while his wife, Jeanie, and daughter, Laura look on. He hasn t figured out yet where to put it in his house. Dick McNear's friends offer thanks for years of service By BILL WALSH Rappahannock News Special Writer The “Fjriends of Dick McNear” held a public reception for the retired deputy county administrator for planning late last week, and if everyone who attended signed the .guest book, that tome could be published as a Who’s Who for Warrenton and Fauquier County. McNear announced his retirement last summer, with an effective date of last Dec. 1, but he is continuing to work for the county as a consultant on the Comprehensive Plan, which is currently undergoing a mandated five-year review. After 20 years of service to the county, including the development of the Comprehensive Plan, McNear was feted by past and present supervisors, planning commissioners, staffers, town officials, members of nearly all of Fauquier’s citizen groups, and officials from surrounding counties, among others who crowded into the John Barton Payne building. _ Supervisors’ chairman Georgia Herbert told McNear that, “it’s hard to let you go, and there are an awful lot of people in the whole county who are very, very, very grateful to you for all the wonderful things you’ve done for us, and things that you’ve done for people who will never know you or never know us. “If there’s ever a time when you aren’t quite sure whether you really got anything done, and whether you were really appreciated, I hope you will remember that lamp ... and what’s in here,” she said, presenting the veteran planner with a serving tray with his initials on the front and an inscription on the back. “For Dick, whose vision has assured our future, your grateful Fauquier friends, 1993.” Not all of the gifts were so serious. The aforementioned lamp is an aging horse-head monstrosity that has been in McNear’s fourthfloor office for many years. And in addition to a framed copy of a Board of Supervisors’ resolution commemorating his retirement, Rappahannock County administrator John McCarthy brought a resolution from the county in which McNear resides. “I can’t say that this aw ard represents the unanimity of the opinion of the Rappahannock County Board of supervisors,” McCarthy said, “but it does represent the consensus of opinion among three of them whereas the other two said, ‘Oh, don’t read that and embarrass us in public.’ But, I will present to Dick a resolution that reads, ‘Whereas Dick McNear has performed prodigies of service to the citizens of Rappahannock County, notably by keeping out of it from 9to-5, for lo these many years, and ‘Whereas his retirement fills his friends, putatively, and his neighbors, unavoidably, with an unfeigned and deeply-felt grief, and ‘Whereas we expect that he’ll now spend many hours loafing about the co-op, telling bald-faced lies far beyond the patience level of any of us unlucky enough to be grabbed ... over by the feed-trough display, ‘We do hereby resolve, nevertheless, to welcome him home, an honorable job wrell done, and the good fight well fought.’ ” S TOP SMOKING NO WITHDRAWAL NO NERVOUSNESS NO WEIGHT GAIN WRITTEN GUARANTEE IN ONE NIGHT! s35 % COMPLETE Howard M.

BEATTY Rappahannock Newt Special Writer WASHINGTON, D.C. - When the two hour parade that celebrated President Bill Clinton’s inauguration reached its conclusion, spectators along the 1.65 mile route had been treated to marching bands, Elvis impersonators, crack military units and even a lawn chair drill team. The expected met the improbable as the parade, which typified the inaugural theme “American Reunion - New Beginnings, Renewal, Hopes,” made its way down the capital’s thoroughfares. The 52nd inaugural was consciously designed to be the most publicly accessible of such ceremonies held in recent history. However, the swearing-in ceremonies, parades, concerts, balls and fireworks displays didn’t happen by magic. Behind the scenes thousands of people worked to transform inaugural plans into the variety of events that took place from Jan. 17 through Jan. 21. U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Frank R. McGhee III, the son of Frank McGhee, Jr. and Mildred McGhee of Amissville, was one of the people who had good reason to be satisfied with the nation’s orderly transfer of power and rer sponsibility and the celebrations which accompanied it. Assigned to the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee, McGhee had a hand in making the scheduled events a success. The Committee oversaw a temporary joint task force made up of service members drawn from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. Members of the task force planned, coordinated and provided support for scheduled inaugural activities which called for the use of military members. McGhee, whose regular duty assignment is as a radioman at U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C., reported to the committee in August ready to be part of a slice of American history. “This assignment started out slow but the closer we got to inauguaration day, the quicker the pace got. This job was really a once-in-alifetime event. I worked as the radio training instructor and as you can imagine we had a lot of radio nets working,” said McGhee, a 1981 graduate of Eastwood High School in El Paso, Texas. McGhee was chosen for this assignment because of an excellent record of professional performance. According to Captain Janice Smith, a committee spokeswoman, the as sistance of outstanding military people in inauguration events is not new. The realtionship between the armed forces and the inauguration began in April, 1789, when George Washington was escorted to his swearing-in at Federal Hall in New York City by members of America’s fledgling military. The 1993 ceremonies marked more than 200 years of similar participation. McGhee’s special duty assignment in the captal gave him a chance to get a close look, while off-duty, at the place where the nation’s laws are made and its heroes memorialized. “The inauguaral process is differnt from the things I’ve done before and this is the first time I’ve, worked with members of the other services. I found that the protocol of the other services is much different from the Coast Guard’s. It was a real formal environment,” he said. The Armed Forces Inaugural Committee gave McGhee the chance to work side by side with people in the uniforms of different service branches. “I’d like to make the Guard a 20 year career. I’d also like to get back to a job that’s involved with maritime safety and I wouldn’t mind a tour in recruiting, either,” said McGhee. Leam . howto buy the home you've always wanted.

Informed consent is back Richmond Briefs.For more than a decade both side of Virginia’s abortion debate had considered closed the issue of ‘informed consent.* Now state Del. Stephen Martin (R-27th District) has reopened the controversial issue. Martin is pushing legislation to require doctors to tell women 24 hours before an abortion about the medical risks and possible complications. Under his bill, physicians also would be required to outline the medical risks of carrying a baby to term and disclose the probable gestational age of the unborn child. And doctors would have to tell patients that printed materials depicting fetal development are available and medical assistance may be provided if the baby is carried to term. Meanwhile, Del. C. Richard Cranwell (R-14th District) has submitted a bill requiring that girls 16 or younger get their parent’s, guardian’s or counselor’s permission before having an abortion. But antiabortion activist called the House Majority Leader’s bill a ‘sham,1 designed to give political cover to prochoice legislators. Abortion rights activists said the the informed consent bill would created barriers for poorer women who can’t afford to to take twos days off from work and would subject woman to harassment from pro-life advocates.

Appearing weekly in: Call our advertising department NOW for limited introductory rates: 675-3338 relations counsel for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, said the bill is unnecessary because the state already requires physicians to inform pregnant women of the abortion procedure and the risks. 2. The House Finance Committee has killed legislation that would have allowed Fairfax County to increase its hotel tax from 2 percent to five percent. The tax would have raised about $4 million a year for the revenue-starved county government. Contract signed to widen Rt. 3 The Commonwealth Transportation Board has awarded the contract to widen a section of Route 3 between the Orange County line at the Rapidan River and Lignum. L.F. Franklin and Sons Inc. of Stephenson could begin work as early as next month under the $2,377,114, 360-day contract awarded by the Hoard at its meeting in Richmond last Thursday. ►School From Page A-l he said. The School Board’s letter especially asked the supervisors to approve a funding method that does not retire a referrendum. Mr. Anderson suggested the county could buy used modular classrooms from another school system which is now replacing them with new building and use treated wood rather than concrete for steps and walkways. New modular' classrooms cost about $30,000 each and require about $7,000 for wiring and foundation work. “If we had those now, it would give us a little more time to make a decision on a middle school or primary school,” he added. He noted that no construction program would have space ready for next year and asked School Superintendent David Gangel what would be done to provide more space for next year. Col. Bingham said he would favor a primary school. “If we feel we have to have another building, I’d rather see the newest and finest go to the smaller children he said. Mr. Estes said, “I’m opposed to spending money on additions...I realize the additions are cheaper, but when you get to the high school that is going to present major problems. The heating is at capacity; the cafeteria is at capacity and can’t be enlarged, and sewer and water are at capacity. I’d be opposed to an expansion at the high school. It’s been maxed out.” Dr. Gangel said, “Both facilities have taxed the land they’re on. An expansion will take away the playground area at the elementary school. We will do what we have to do. A middle school is best, but it is more expensive.” Mr. Gilkey said, “I agree with Mr. Estes. If we are going to spend money, we should get the most we can get from it. If we build the additions we will not get the most for the money. I realize there are 179 fewer students than there were, but the mandates make up for that.” They invited members of the audience to give their views. Laurie Marshall said she would like to see figures on a primary school. She said the children would benefit from being in smaller schools. Pete Luke said as a member of the Board of Assessors he had heard from hundreds of people concerned about their taxes. He said most people don’t understand the purpose of a middle school. Allen Stokes said there had been a study done on retrofitting the schools to provide additional space 15 years ago that hadn’t been implemented. “We’re not utilizing our space,” he said. Freddie Kumli said the county is paying $225,000 a year to transport students to Piedmont for vocational classes. “If we build a new school, we should build a high school and make the high school a middle school,” he said. “We could add vocational facilities at the new high school. I feel we ought to go with an addition to the elementary to start off. That’s where we have the biggest problem.” ART MONK FOOTBALL CAMP INSTRUCTION BY WASHINGTON REDSKINS TON INFORMATION CALL 34 HOURS A DAY 1-800-466-6888 WWW COUMM* OUR 10th YEARI FOR AGES 8 -18 VA CAMP JUNE 28 - JULV 3 MO CAMP JUNE 21-36 TOP COACHING STAFF LIMITEO Chip Lohmlller Kicking Camp Juna 25-27, Virginia For Information: F.O. »o» 31, BurtonjvHto, MO Z08M Everyone Can Shop the Co-op!

Newbill Miller said, “The only growth is a growth of mandates done by some faceless group in Richmond.” He said he felt construction would take away funds from teacher salaries. Diana Bird said that taxes in Rappahannock County are lower than most other places. She said it would be better to have separate schools for different aged children. James Massie Jr. said it was premature to talk about building a middle school when the county didn’t have land to put it on. “There is a critical space need now,” he said. Other people in the audience wanted to talk about Ki Theater. Last summer County Administrator John McCarthy told Julie Portman, theater director, that after July 1, the county could not offer another long term lease for the building. They could continue on a month-tomonth basis. Robin Purnell said, “The theater serves a great need.” She asked the supervisors to consider extending the lease for another year to “give the theater a chance to find another place.” Carlton Coon, Joyce Cramer and Lois Manookian also supported Ki Theater. Mr. Coon said the theater cannot operate on a month to month basis because it needs to schedule events more than a month in advance. The supervisors said they could give a longer lease, but it would have to contain a contingency clause that the county could take the building with a 30 day notice if the judges order the county to provide another courtroom. ►Bills From Page A-l expect this bill to pass either. The Countywide Citizens League appeared before the supervisors to ask that they be exempt from property taxes. Ethel Bailey said the citizens League wants to fix up the old community building on its property on the Fodderstack Road. Mr. McCarthy said that to exempt the organization’s property a bill would have to pass the General Assembly. He said it is too late to introduce such legislation in this year’s Assembly session. The supervisors agreed to ask Del. Jerry Wood to introduce legislation exempting the Citizens League next year. Commissioner of Revenue Bev- ‘ erly Atkins appeared before the su- f pervisors to ask if they want to make ! any changes in the ordinance grant-! ing tax relief to the elderly and dis- \ abled. She said about 32 landowners { had qualified under the ordinance.: The supervisors said they did not! want to make any changes until after! a new reassessment. | Ms. Atkins also asked if they' would be willing to pay to have; changes that result from subdivi-! sions recorded on new land maps.! She said the maps are wearing out and have to be reprinted. She said they have not been updated since the early 1980s. She estimated the cost would be about $1,500. The supervisors agreed to pay for updating the maps. The supervisors also agreed to authorize Sheriff John Henry Wood-1 ward to purchase a new car for the | department. The car is a Chevrolet; Caprice and will cost $14,000. They agreed to purchase a new! transmission for the building inspec-! tor’s car. ; In the evening session the super-; visors approved a special exception for Newbill and Carol Miller to subdivide 18.8 acres from a 158 acre parcel. In reviewing the proposed county code they decided to hold* a public hearing next month on whether the county wants to continue a moratorium on sludge disposal in the county. Mr. McCarthy said if the supervisors wish to continue to outlaw sludge disposal, the prohibition should be in the zoning ordinance rather than a separate ordinance for a moritorium. He said they could also decide to allow spreading sludge with a special exception. In considering the code the supervisors agreed to allow people to, shoot dogs attacking people. They decided also to allow people to shoot '< dogs attacking pets on the pet own-! eFs property. ; They decided not to require a! wall check for new home construe- i tion as a guarantee that setback re-| quirements have been met. ; 'l ♦ I Woodsy Owl says Stash Your Ttesh Give a hoot.

•T .1 Real Estate Classifieds WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1993 Community News Obituaries k appahannock News b 7th artists & friends show ; By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Special Writer “The 7th Annual Gallery Artists & Friends Show,” which opened at the Middle St. Gallery on Jan. 3 and hins through Feb. 14, represents the expressions of many of our resident artists and others working m a variety of mediums. As such, it is impossible to comment on in its entirety, and the remarks below do not pretend to pick out even the best pieces on display. If there is one principal focus of this eclectic show, it is portraiture and figure making. Each artist’s exhibit is a statement of how she or he senses a mission. One of the most beautiful paintings is Tom Spande’s “Morning [Sun,” an oil on canvas of a young woman sitting in an old wooden rocking chair, reading and writing, with her back to an alcove window flooded with light. This is hardly a portrait since the hair of the sitter’s bent head covers the brow and eyes, and only a shaded mouth and nose are visible. I feel Tom is celebrating the joy of painting. The joy is expressed by the rendering of light, and the interesting patterns created by the figure, the rocking chair and the creamy white woodwork of the window and its surrounding architectural detail. The figure is simplified because the costume is informal - the feet are covered with socks instead of shoes, but the details Spande devotes his care to are perfectly rendered. The composition is straightforward and formal, resulting in an appealing air of 'tranquility. In sharp contrast to Tom Spande’s figure is Judith Einstman’s “Punch and Judy,” a colorful pastel on paper, a self portrait, I suspect. But again, the emphasis is on the picture, not dramatically on the “self.” Einstman draws a shaded profile of an amused young woman with the fingers of her left hand on - her lips, gazing at the wicked, ugly face of a Punch puppet she holds before her on her right hand. One imagines the fun she is having composing a play she will perform. How much of herself will she put into the show? How much of what she thinks of men? Will it tell children a story they can empathize with or will it be a satire for her friends? Review The colors of this picture remind me of the strong feelings and violence associated with Punch and Judy. Punch is dressed in an orange blouse with an orange, pointed, tasseled cap, the long point tossed forward. A yellow, jaggedly pointed collar is at his throat and the same trim binds the rim of his hat. Stronger orange panels behind the figures might suggest a sympathetic feeling for Punch in Judy’s mind. Judy’s most conspicuous feature is a straw hat decorated with artificial flowers and leaves. This . fanciful piece of apparel speaks of her whimsy and her love of beauty. The texture of the paper that carries the picture makes a soft and appealing surface to look at. “Punch and Judy” is a vibrant work, appropriate to its subject. I would have liked it more if the strong, swirling lines of Judy’s pink sleeve in the foreground had been modified to attract less attention. The closer I look at Robin Purnell’s “Catwoman,” painted in St. Petersburg where Robin lived for three years, the more I find to think about and question. This somber study of a poor, old woman who cares for cats shows a sensitive, sad person, pained and lonely. Four nondescript cats are the recipients of her charity, indicated by two fish placed on the floor in the foreground. This primarily bronze-colored picture has the finish of a Russian icon and the background is interestingly carried over to cover the frame. An image like this symbolizes for me the terrible suffering that people of this woman’s age in the USSR have endured, going back to the revolution that brought the Communists to power at the end of the First World War. Although she wears a fur coat and hat, the woman has probably never experienced a good time in her life. She may be the lone survivor of her family. Even the end of Communism is of little or no benefit to her. Purnell’s meticulous realism, selectively presented, conveys a timeless quality that assures us of symbolic meanings, most of which we need to invent for ourselves. The small space the woman Rappahannock News Stall Photo Scan Kilpatrick This piece of sculpture is titled “I’m Coming Out Next Year,” by Jeanne Drevas. occupies, the uncovered water hole in the tiled floor, the fact that one of the cats is pregnant while another has a spiny, red tail, which drew my attention to the woman’s almost bloody right hand holding a besom (a twig broom), all filled me with curiosity. I am pained to have to ignore a majority of the pieces in this rich exhibition. But turning away from the portraits, let me urge gallery goers to look as carefully at Jeanne Drevas’s “I’m Coming Out Next Year” as you would look at the paintings, drawings and other pieces of sculpture. y . This imaginative construction is made of baked, small shingles of elav fashioned into a cave or hut. The subtle hues of these ceramic leaves, fixed vertically and in swirls, are so beautiful I wanted to touch them and to walk repeatedly around this odd dwelling place. - Inside is a naked, androgynous figure, of bone-white color and texture, that gazes out despondently. The floor of the hermit’s abode is made of many small bricks. The polished, sinewy body of the person who is "coming out next year" contrasts conspicuously with the roughly textured material of the hut. 1 wonder if a less emaciated. less unrealistic image might have ' strengthened the over-all power and effectiveness of the work? The arms and legs are too much like boiled pasta. Jeanne Drevas has • an inpiration that always informs her artistic skill in an especially individualistic way. The human being conveys spiritual exhaustion and that may be why it is formed as it is. 1 have visited this exhibition many times and made copious notes on most of the works that I would have liked to discuss at length. Please do yourself a good turn by visiting the show while it is still there to see - before Feb. 14. , Rappahannock News Photo Courtesy Heart Association ;PauI Nichols, president of the county’s chapter of the American Heart Association jstands amid campaign volunteers: From left, Cynthia Lawson, Maybelle Gilkey, Susan McCarthy, Paula Klatko, Candace Lamma and Lillian Aylor.

Life in changing Russia will come alive as • two artists share their works with the audience. • This will be an exceptional opportunity to see ' how the historical events of the last several years ! reflect upon work of creative people in Russia. Maryanne Ozemoy, award winning poet and former activist in the Soviet underground, met 1 Robin Purnell, visual artist from Rappahannock ! County, in 1982. I Robin’s husband’s work as the Human ! Rights Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow 1 for three years put her in touch with many | “refuseniks,” dissidents and artists forced ; underground because of what they were | expressing artistically. Maryanne had held a prestigious position at ; Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, heading up a • study that would aid in reforming the art ; education techniques of the Soviet school ; systems. She lost her job because her family applied to • emigrate in 1979. They became members of the j Jewish “refusenik” community. ; Writing poetry became her refuge through < many bitter years. Her relationship with Robin • v Purnell introduced her to modern American culture and art. On the eve of perestroika, Maryanne was allowed to emigrate to the U.S. in 1986 and be^me a U.S. citizen. Her poetry has been widely published in Russia and in the U.S.. She received the Golden Poetry Award in 1988 from the American Poetry Association and has been an invited lecturer for television, colleges and religious communities around the U. S.. She gave a series of lectures at Harvard University on Soviet Culture and the role of women in that society. The evening performance on Gay Street, Washington, will include a slide presentation of Robin Purnell’s paintings, some of which were included at her recent exhibition in St. Petersburg, Russia. Maryanne Ozemoy will read excerpts of her poetry that reflect her struggle and eventual movement to freedom. A discussion with the audience, led by Senator Eugene McCarthy, will follow the program. Tickets are $10 and available at Mountainside Market and Country Cafe (Washington), New Leaf Bookstore (Warrenton), Royal Oak Book Store (Front Royal) and at Culpeper Music, or by calling Ki Theatre 703-6751616. \ Heart Association planning county-wide drive for funds By BOB SCOTT Kuppnhunnm k Nc»> Spvciul W ritor Every year, the American Heart Association conducts a nationwide campaign in February, American Heart Month, to help all Americans learn about reducing the risks of heart disease and stroke. The 199:1 message is “we offer a special incentive for learning stroke’s warning signs. It's called LIFE!” Stroke is America’s third leading cause of death. In fact, every dl seconds an American dies from stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, accounting for more than 940.0(H) deaths each year. That total is almost as many as cancer, accidents, pneumonia, AIDS and all otljer causes of death combined. r Many of those deaths might have been preventable. The Rappahannock County Unit of the American Heart Association is dedicated to the vital purpose of heart health throughout our community. During American Heart Month more than 75 volunteer “block workers" will be canvassing the county "neighbor to neighbor.” These local volunteers are donating their time and energy during this month to educate their neighbors in the community about the causes and warning signs related to stroke and other heart diseases. They will also be raising funds to help support the life saving research and educational programs that further the mission of the , American Heart Association. Paul Nichols, the President of the local AHA unit, outlined the 199J Heart Month goals and responsibilities to "the team of Rappahannock volunteers during the annnual kick-off dinner late last month at the Trinity Episcopal Church. Last year’s Residential Campaign Chairperson, Candace Lamma, generously volunteered to serve again in the capacity as did Team Captains Peggy Woodward and Lillian Aylor. They will be joined by co-captains Janet Smoot, Paula Klatko and the Rev. Darrell Dare. The AHA volunteers who come to your doors during Heart Month will be bringing important Heart Health information to leave with you that could save or prolong the life of someone you love. i Welcome home!

Add one more item to this stack and you may find yourself on your knees, picking up a set of broken dishes. Perhaps, it would be best to wash them now, before disaster strikes. Is your life piled too high with unsolved problems? Most of us experience this situation several times in our lives, so why not take a different approach? By assuming that same kneeling posture, asking our Heavenly Father’s intervention before our lives are piled too high with everyday concerns, we may avoid disaster. The Bible assures us that “Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered" (Joel 2:32). This promise is unconditional, yet we must have faith that our prayers are answered according to the will of God, even as we pray. Invoke God’s intervention in your life as you worship this Sabbath, before your life becomes piled too high.

Heart Association practices what it preaches vith low-fat meal ISy HLLLIM W. &MI1H Extension Agent, Home Economics When the Rappahannock County Chapter of the American Heart Association held its kick-off dinner for the volunteers who will be assisting with fundraising during February - Heart Month - they practiced what they preached. The dinner, which was held on Jan. 21 at Trinity Episcopal Church, featured an entree, rolls, and dessert from the American Heart Association Cookbook plus a salad and two low-calorie dressings prepared by Susan McCarthy. Lean meat Good lean meat is hard to beat...as an excellent source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, including iron. Therefore, the American Heart Association says “ves” to meat, with a few guidelines to help protect your heart. According to the American Heart Association, beef and pork are good choices, if you remember to select lean meats with less marbling and less external fat. Even then, you should trim away visible fat before cooking. Servings size The other thing to remember is the serving size. The American Heart Association recommends no more than six ounces of cooked lean HOME ECONOMICS meat, fish, or poultry per day. That’s several smaller servings - or two three-ounce servings - or one six-ounce serving per day. That means measure or weigh a^threeounce serving carefully anfpNO second helpings! An easy way to “eyebali” a three-ounce portion of meat is to pick a piece about the size and thickness of a deck of cards. And, if you’re eating out in a restaurant, order a small cut of meat - not the eight- to ten-ounce steak featured at so many popular steak houses. If you do order the large eight-ounce steak, the solution is to cut it in half BEFORE you start eating and ask the waitress to put it in a doggie bag to take home for the next day. That way, you have not exceeded the recommended serving" size for the day : 1 you've enjoyed eating out like vays. Recipes The American Heart Association Board of Directors has some really good cooks! They prepared the meal which included: Sirloin tips over rice, steamed vegetable medley, fresh garden salad with low-calorie dressing, whole wheat rolls, and orange snack cake. The recipes for the sirloin tips over rice, whole wheat rolls and orange snack cake are from the American Heart Association cookbooks. Note that the orange snack cake contains oatmeal and orange juice which makes it moist, uses a small amount of sugar, egg whites instead of whole eggs and has a thin glaze made with orange juice and a small amount of sugar instead of high-fat icing. The recipes for the twro low-calorie, low-fat dressing are from Susan McCarthy.

Spread topping evenly over warm cake; place under broiler for one minute, or until golden brown. Topping can burn easily. Watch it carefully! Allow to cool on rack before cutting. Basic pie dough 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup acceptable margarine, one stick 7 to 9 tablespoons ice water In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, lightly cut the margarine into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add water, a few tablespoons at a time, and mix lightly and quickly until pastry forms a ball. Divide pastry into two balls and form into two flat circles about oneinch thick. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 12-inch circle. (The pastry can be rolled between sheets of floured wax paper or on a pastry sheet.) Place pastry in pie dish. (Folding the pastry in half before lifting helps prevent stretching or tearing.) Trim or flute the edges and prick the bottom of each shell lightly with a fork. For a baked pie shell (to be filled later), bake in a preheated 400 degrees F. oven. For a partially baked crust, bake 8 to 10 minutes. For a fully baked crust baked 10 to 15 minutes, or until edges are light brown. To prevent the crust from puffing up or losing shape during baking, cover pastry with wax paper and weigh it down with dried beans or an aluminum-foil pie plate. Makes two nine-inch pie shells or one deep-dish pie shell and top crust. Ruby grapefruit and chicory salad 4 medium or 3 large ruby grapefruits, sectioned 2 tangerines, sectioned 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon cumin 1 head curly endive or chicory 1/2 cup grapefruit juice With a serrated knife cut away the rind and membrane of each grapefruit, working over a bowl to catch and reserve juice. Measure out 1/2 cup juice and hold aside. Cover and refrigerate grapefruit and tangerine sections for at least 15 minutes and up to four hours. Combine oil, vinegar and cumin to grapefruit juice. Whisk dressing together until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Just before serving tear endive into bite size pieces, place into a large salad bowl. Separate onion slices into rings. Add onion rings and fruit to salad bowl. Shake or whisk dressing and drizzle over salad. Toss and serve immediately. Serves 10. Low-fat honey-mustard salad dressing 1/2 cup nonfat yogurt 1/4 cup cider or wine vinegar 2 teaspoons dijon mustard 2 teaspoons honey 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper to taste Combine ingredients in glass bowl or jar and whisk or shake until blended. Refrigerate until ready to serve - shake or whisk then toss with greens. Makes enough for large salad. Especially good with arugula, chicory, spinach, radicchio, red leal lettuce and in combination. Also try vegetable salad - broccoli, cauliflower and chopped red cabbage. 'Pearl Harbor before and after' By EDITH POND Rappahannock News Contributing Writer At 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 8 at the Rappahannock Library, there will be a book signing: Jesse E. Pond Jr. of Sperryville will be autographing copies of his book, “The Square Peg: A Tight Fit in a Tin Can,” that evening for all who buy a copy. Mr. Pond joined the Navy in October 1940 because he knew that there was trouble coming and he was looking for a place to plant his feet and fight back. On December 7, DEADLINES LOCAL DISPLAY ADVERTISING Rappahannock News Ads Tuesday, 12 Noon Combo Ads (Two or more'papers) Monday, 3 p.m. Real Estate Combo Ads Friday, 3 p.m. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Rappahannock News Tuesday, 12 Noon Horse & Farm Monday, 12 Noon Combo Word Ads and Classified Display Monday, 3 p.m. 1941, his feet were on a destroyer moored at Pearl Harbor. That wa^ certainly the most exciting day of his naval career. Mr. Pond will deliver an illustrated talk telling just how he and his shipmates and comrades all planted their feet and fought back - except for one or two who didn’t quite get the message. Comedy shows up in strange places. There were other interesting days, of course, mostly because the Navy and Mr. Pond were not what you might call totally compatible. He was the square peg. The round hole was the destroyer he served on. In the Navy, a destroyer is called a “tin can.” The man served only one hitch, but he certainly timed it right. All who come to the library will get a new look at the attack on Pearl Harbor, from “within the smoke.” There will be refreshments right after the talk.

HOLSCHUH Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Five Bible study classes are available for adults every Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m. at Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church. Young adults think the new “College and Career” group is great. Adult couples and singles are choosing between “Pairs and Spares One” and “Pairs and Spares Two,” while senior men and senior women each have their own studydiscussion groups. Pastor Tom Wiles invites all friends and neighbors to join one of these study groups. Bible study references for each Sunday are indicated below: The theme of the senior women’s group led by Helen Holschuh is “Sharing the good news,” with study -material drawn from the following: Feb. 7, Luke chapter 24; Feb. 14, Romans chapter 10; Feb. 21, Romans chapter 15; Feb, 28, 2nd Timothy chapters 2 and 3, and Titus chapter 2. Senior men and “Pairs and Spares One” will both be finding inspiration from the Book of Psalms. Study group leaders Bob Heffern and Howdy Holschuh will be reviewing the following: Feb. 7, Psalms 77, 85, and 126; Feb. 14, Psalms 58, 83, and 137; Feb. 21, Pslams 23, 27, and 188; Feb. 28, Psalms 18, 66, and 121. Adult couples and singles looking for a different approach to Bible study are joining Mt. Lebanon’s “Pairs and Spares Two," led by Rev. Wiles and Pat Watson. The emphasis of this class for the month of February is to explore Biblical doctrine, with a goal of gaining "a better understanding of the basic principles presented in the Bible, to realize their implications of our lives, and to become personally involved in living out the truths of these doctrines. Mt. Lebanon’s College and Cateer groups will shift during February from studying basic Baptist beliefs to a series of discussions under the Baptist “Adult life and \tork” series. Study leader Danny Sims says the schedule is flexible, and will suit the needs of those attending each Sunday morning. Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church is located on U.S. 522 between Woodville and Boston. Visitors are welcome to join any of the adult Bible study groups. p AMERICAN VCANCER f SOCIETY Robert Lee Corbin of Fayetteville, N.C., James Russell Corbin of Culpeper, A.W.
