Family Home Damaged in Fire By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Stephen and Beate Berger thought they had found their dream house. Tuesday morning they were lucky to escape from it alive. This fall they came to the United States after several years in Israel. Mr. Berger had been bom in the U.S. and lived in upstate New York. He had been a dairy farmer, but his current occupation is shoing horses. Mrs. Berger is an animal nurse, originally from Germany. They are expecting their first child in March. Mrs. Berger planned to stay home taking care of the baby. They decided to settle in the horse country of Virginia and sought out real estate agent Anne Furtick to find a house for them. They wanted an old farm house. Last Friday they moved into a 1830s farm-^ house just like they wanted on Routf*626, the Scrabble Road. r Because of the holiday weekend they weren’t able to get oil for the furnace delivered, so they fired up the wood stove. . Very early Tuesday morning the baby started kicking. Mrs. Berger woke up and smelled smoke. Mr. Berger went to investigate and found the room behind the room with the woodstove on fire. A chimney fire had become a house fiise. The fire quickly spread to the attic. They got out and called for help: As night turned to day, volunteer fire departments from Castleton, Sperryville and Salem, joined by tanker trucks from Amissville and Washington, battled the blaze. The fire was finally out by mid morning, but most of one side of their new house was burned beyond repair. Most of their personal belongings were lost in the fire. Currently they are staying with the Furticks while they try to sort out what to do next. A small detached garage next to the burned part of the house escaped the blaze. Perhaps they will fix it up like a small apartment and move into it while the house is being repaired or rebuilt. Mr. Berger needs to get his business established. They are grateful to the volunteer firefighters who came out in the night to save their house. The neighbors have been very helpful, they report. They had hoped to haw-'arr open house after the holidays to meet the neighbors. Insteao'thev have met many as a result of their tragedy. “They chose Rappahannock. They felt so good about everything here,” Mrs. Furtick said. “We’ve got a big enough house. It’s no problem having them here. They’re such nice people, really nice people, and everything they had was in that house.” / Old Rag Bulletins i Rep.

Rep Wolf Relishes New Opportunities By LOU HATTER Rappahannock News Staff Writer The 104th Congress will focus its early efforts on fulfilling its “Contract With America,” a task that Congressman Frank R. Wolf anticipates with relish. After seven terms as a member of the minority party , the 10th District Republican said he doesn’t feel ‘ any different as the session begins this week. But the switch from minority to majority leaves the Republicans with the task of governing, which Rep. Wolf seems keenly aware of. “Nobody gave us power. They gave us responsibility,” he said.' The voters’ message in the rhidterm elections was accountability, he added. “They want us to do what we said we’d do...We have a responsibility to pass the Republican ’Contract.’” The incoming chairman of the Transportation Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee plans to use his new position to accomplish several goals that have been stymied by the Democrats. See Wolf, Page 2 Special Education Takes Growing Part of School Resources and Space By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer A growing percentage of the school budget is going into funding the costs of educating a growing number of special education students. Over $750,000 of the current $5.65 millionschool operating budget goes into the cost of providing special education, and there seems to be no end in sight. Special education runs the gamut from students who need a half hour a week of speech therapy to a severely emotionally disturbed student who can’t be served in Rappahannock at all and who is attending a regional program in Orange County. For that child the county is paying $12,000 in tuition. In addition a teachers’ aide drives the child to Orange each school day and drives the child home. This costs an additional $3,400 per year for upkeep of the car and about $4,700 for the portion of the aide’s time providing the transportation. At times in the past the county has had to pick up the cost of providing education for special education children in residential treatment. In 1989 there were 128 identified special education students in the Rappahannock school system. This school year there are 169. They Grange in age from 2 years old to 21. ' There are additional capital costs of special education. School Superinr tendent David Gangel noted that the school system just completed a 14room addition to the elementary school and that there are seven special education classrooms in the school and two rooms for speech therapists. When the elementary school opened there was one special education classroom for retarded students. Now the program includes providing a sign language interpreter for a deaf pre-schooler and classes for learning disabled and emotionally disturbed children. Some of these students are Served by resource teachers for only part of the day. Others require a self-contained classroom for only special education students. State laws restrict the number of students special education teachers can serve. The classes are much smaller than most classes for regular students. The American With Disabilities Act requires that the school system make the schools accessible to students in wheelchairs. That will mean providing ramps so these students can get onto the stages at the two schools. There are 10 teachers working full time with special education students, seven in the elementary school and three in the high school. In addition there are two speech teachers. There are five teachers’ aides working full time or nearly full time with special education students. In addition special education requires the full time services of the school psychologist and about 75 percent of the school social worker’s time. It requires about 90 percent of the time of one of the secretaries in the central office and about 50 percent of the time of the Director of Pupil Personnel Services. There is one bus driver who has only special education students. In addition I)r. Gangel estimates that about 20 percent of the time of the guidance counsellors at the two schools goes into special education, about 25 percent of the time of the elementary assistant principal and aboqt 10 percent of the time of the high school principal* He estimates that about 5 percent of his time and the assistant superintendent’s time is spent on special education. That might be nearly all his time for three days while he works on finding the best placement of one child. For the assistant superintendent it includes interviewing teachers and teachers’ aides to work with special education students. Because of the limits on the number of students special education teachers can serve this frequently occurs during the school year as the number of students in need of these services increases. The addition of one more preschool handicapped student will require the services of anSee Special, Page 5 i Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Sharon Kilpatrick Hazel Zinn-Day and Lindsey Berger, right, visit with Peggy Kelly and Shannon Tuesday morning when Mrs. Day delivered money for the family’s trip to Disney World.

V Both Rappahannock’s representa/ tives to the General Assembly, State Sen. Kevin Miller, R-26th District, and Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st District, have announced they will seek re-election. It is unlikely either will face opposition in the Republican Party. It is unclear whether either will face opposition from Democratic Party candidates. Locally all the constitutional officers except Clerk Diane Bruce, who is in the middle of an eight-year term, will be facing reelection. All have indicated they will seek another four-year term. Sheriff John Henry Woodward will be seeking his third term. He said, “I’ve been here 12 years. I love my job, and I love my county, and I want to keep on serving.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke will be seeking his fourth term. He said, “So far I eryoy the job of being a prosecutor, and I will continue doing it as long as I keep getting reelected. ” Commissioner of Revenue Beverly Atkins will be seeking her third full term. She was first appointed in January 1986 and was elected in 1986. She was elected to full terms in 1987 and 1991. “We eryoy working with the public and eiyoy being able to work so close to home. We will continue to do it if the people will have us,” she said, referring not only to her work but that of her assistants as well. Treasurer Frances Foster will be seeking her sixth full term. She was appointed in March 1973 and won election in November of that year. She was reelected in 1975, 1979, 1983, 1987 and 1991. “I like the job and will run for another four-year term,” she said. In addition all five seats on the Board of Supervisors are up for election this year, and for the first time Rappahannock voters will have an opportunity to elect members of the School Board. Supervisor Chairman Hubert Gilkey who represents Wakefield District, said he will seek another term. “I’d like to continue along with what we have been doing and keep the county on an even keel. ” he said. He said he was interested in seeing the county acquire a central dumpster site and an addition to the high school “if the need is there. Our schools have been a big plus for us,” he said. Vice chairman Charles K. “Pete”' Estes, who represents Piedmont District, said he too will seek another term. “My primary objectives are to keep Rappahannock County at its present level of beauty and keep the many other assets that make this county such a very special place," he said. He added, “I thank the people of Piedmoht District for the privilege of serving.” Hampton District representative Mike Massie said, “I honestly haven’t made my mind up yet.” Jackson District representative Ellis Bingham said he has not yet decided whether to seek reelection. The twoterm member said he will decide by the end of .February or early March. Stonewall-Hawthorn District representative Robert Anderson also has not made a final decision on seeking reelection. He said, “I want to wait a little bit before deciding.” On the School Board seeking voter support will J)e a new experience for members who have recently been appointed by the Board of Supervisors. In 1992 county voters chose overwhelmingly to replace the appointed board with an elected one. Chairman Beverly Massie, who represents Jackson District, said, “I haven’t fully made up my mind” on whether or not to seek election. She said she was concerned about the possibility of the board having all new members next January right at the beginning of the process of putting together a budget. She said she hopes the board continues to represent "the makeup of the whole county with no special interest group. We have a diverse group on the board now,” she added. “The public has to get off their duffs and be more concerned about what’s going on around them in local as well as national issues,” she said. Vice chairman Paul Nichols, who represents WakefiekMJistrict, s^id he does not intend to'work qualify for the ballot. “If the people want me to serve they can write my name in,” he said.

Re'p. Wolf said he also plans a hearing on Amtrack. In the past Congress has required the rail line to operate unprofitable routes which ensured it couldn’t make a profit. A non-partisan review of its operations, much like the military baseclosing commission, would establish which routes can be operated profitably and which should be shut down, he said. He will reintroduce his Shenanhoah Valley battlefield park bill and a bill to require prisoners to work. The change in Congress is already happening, Rep. Wolf said in an interview late last month. The Republicans began fulfilling the promisee in the “Contract” by abolishing tWee committees, cutting off funding for legislative caucuses and halting the practice of passing honorary resolutions. The Republicans have also voted to limit the terms of committee chairmen, and House Speaker Newt Gingrich said he will limit his term as speaker to eight years. The Democrats, Rep. Wolf explained, liad become “so encumbered with the way things were being done, and the leadership had made it really difficult.” That resistance vanished with the Republican landslide Nov. 8, he said. Speaker Gingrich and the new Republican leadership have also promised to change House rules to require a three-fifths vote to pass any tax increase rather than the simple majority now required. Rep. Wolf said the new GOP majority also plans to reopen the 1994 Crime Bill to insert stronger penalty provisions and cut its social program spending. The Republicans will return control over spending to localities, Rep. Wolf promised, along with much of the responsibility for determining how problems will be addressed. The “Contract With America” promises debate and a vote in the House on 10 major issues in the first 100 days of the session. Asked if the GOP could be tackling too much, too fast, Rep. Wolf replied, “That’s a valid point, but I don’t know that we have a choice. This was the promise.” Subscribe to the Rappahannock News » Call 675-3338 ^...NOTICE OF INTENT TO MAKE APPOINTMENT d TO THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS FOR THE COUNTY OF RAPPAHANNOCK On Thursday, January 19, 1995 at 8:30 o'clock a.m. in the Courtroom at the Courthouse in Washington, VA, the Honorable William Shore Robertson, Judge of the Rappahannock County Circuit Court will receive public comment and interview candidates who are interested in being appointed to serve on the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals for Piedmont District.

The Panthers played four matches and won the fourth, a match with Orange County. • The .first game of the day was (flayed against Monroe which got a quick 3-0 lead. They continued to surge ahead and at 8-2 coach Conklin called a time out. After that Rapp made two more points leaving Monroe with a 15-4 victory. I Rapp made the first point in the second game but was rapidly overtaken by Monroe who made the score 5-1 in their favor. At the end of the second game the score was again 154. The second match w as gainst Luray- and played immediately after the first. Rapp took at 2-0 lead which Luray almost immeditely tied. By the time the Panthers regained control of the ball the score was 9-3. Luray won the first game, and the score was another 15-4. .The second game was much closer. It started out a tied game and for awhile neither team could get ahead. Luray however got a 7-3 lead. Susan Jewell, Courtney Mouro and Jaimee Hammitt helped to bring the score up to 14-12. Luray still won, however, 15-12. The third match was also against Luray. Susan Jewell, Sherri Lillard, and Johanna Tole served up a total of eleven (joints. Luray however once again won, 15-11. In the second game Luray got a 4-1 lead. Becky Gallegos, Sarah Gentry, Courtney Mouno and Sherri Lib lard then served helping to tie the score at 11-11.

Some of the J. V. players, who accompanied the team during their trip, found the*team improved as they played. “They talked more and helped one another after the first game,” one said. They also felt the team put their heads back in the game more as they went on. Coach Laura Conklin felt that the game against Luray and Orange were the best she had seen her team play all season, and she hopes they continue to do as well. She thinks they may have done better because of changes in the starting line up. Even though the team didn’t win all their games Coach Conklin said she now thinks they at least know they can win. Basketball Team Places Fourth in Tournament Coach Pleased with Improvement By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock’s varsity boys’ basketball team picked up its third win last week with a first round victory over Seton in the Northern Virginia Daily Basketball Tournament played at Shenandoah University in Winchester, This Tuesday night victory was followed by losses to Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy Wednesday night and George Mason Thursday night to leave the Panther squad in fourth place in the eight-team tournament. In the 66 to 53 first round victory over Seton, the Panther squad fell behind in the first half 38 to 31. The team rallied in the second half to a 47 to 47 tie and then controlled the final period. At one point the Rapp team ran off II straight points. Jason Settle led the team in scoring with 12 points, and Jason Brown had 10. On Wednesday Shenandoah Valley Christian Academy defeated Rappahannock 73 to 57. Down by 12 points, 38 to 26 in the first quarter, and down 63 to 46 with five minutes left, the team battled back to to just nine points down, 65 to 56, with less than three minutes to go before succum^hg ro the eventual second placel|^» i in the tournament. In tnat fame Andre Fletcher led the team with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Jason Settle had 15 points and 9 rebounds. Thursday night Rappahannock was paired with George Mason in a game for third place in the tournament. At the end of the half the Panther squad was down only five points 37 to 32. They finished the game down by 7, 73 to 66. Andre Fletcher again led the attack with 18 {joints. Ray Atkins added 16. Jason Settle had 15 points, and Jason Carter had 10. Jason Settle was named to the All Touma• mentteam. National Christian Academy was the tournament champion. Coach Eugenes Baltimore said he was particularly pleased with the team’s performance in this last game. “The first night against Seton in the first half we didn’t play well at all,” he said. “In the second half we picked the pace up, especially on defense and tired them out.” He said in the second game on Wednesday, “We didn’t play well. They’re a very good team. They came in undefeated, but if we’d come out and played basketball we could have stuck with them the whole game.” In the final game with George Mason, he said, “We played our best ball of the season. Even though we lost by seven points, we showed we can play one of the best teams in the district.” Coach Baltimore said one of his goals for the season was to play games during the Christmas break “and have some good competition, and we did that.” COMPLETE INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICE * Architectural Inception * Lighting * Kitchen and Bath Layouts * Floor/Space Planning IN HOME DECORATING SERVICE * Furniture "<¥ CarpetingAVall Coverings * Window Treatments * Original Art/Accessories RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL Bit O' Green Interiors^ | (703) 987-9432 Barbara Slater, Owner/Designer Washington, VA * _ Real Estate Eileen M. Day REALTOR "SWEAT EQUITY" If you're one of the millions of first-time buyers who feel locked out of the home market because you can't come up with the sizable down payment, don't overlook something called "sweat" equity. In virtually every community r there are some "diamond-in-the. rough" homes — ones that are structurally sound but need extensive work to bring them up to full market value. Any Realtor who works in the residential market can point out these kind of homes. Many times you can arrange a low down payment loan if you can convince the mortgage lender that you have the capability and perseverance to upgrade the property. Be forewarned, however, that you'll likely be required to spend every available free moment working to upgrade the home, tearing out walls, perhaps rewiring, re-plumbing, etc. Obviously, if you're not skilled in such tasks, "sweat" equity may not be for you. For those who do persevere, the rewards can be substantial. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate please stop in at EILEEN M.

Development plans must be reconciled with the county’s Comprehensive Plan, which serves as the essential roadmap to our future. 2) Education standards should be steadily raised and facilities updated because education is the key to unleashing the potential of our youth. 3) New business and clean industry should be sought to provide new employment opportunities for our residents and ‘ their children. But economic expansion should not come at the expense of our clean air and water. These are far more important than a larger tax base. Tourism and the business that supports it should be strongly encouraged, since they provide revenue without the attendant major public services demanded by other industries. 4) Volunteerism, a hallmark of those who live in this proud and independent county, should be supported and encouraged as a continuing reflection of the strength and spirit of the county’s heritage. 5) Recognizing that none of these objectives may be realized without a vigorous, democratic local government, this newspaper will remain politically independent and actively investigate any abuse of public trust by public officials. 4 KAtJr GtlFf Thf Oocp> CiTrt£rtSI 9 ^uT.. He coui£> ~&e L?4AiW/5 UEO Letters Alternatives To Abortion To the Editor: Last month the government released figures showing a 15 year low in abortions. It’s great to know more and more young people are taking responsibility for their actions. Abstinence programs like “True Love Waits” are sweeping the country. A Crisis Pregnancy Center recently opened in Warrenton at 578 Old Waterloo Rd. (next to Child Health). Susan Kruchten is the Director. The Center offers at 24-hour hotline, provides counseling, pregnancy tests, and information on abortion alternatives. If mothers decide to keep their babies, the Center provides housing, clothing, formula and furniture. Adoption referrals are also made, (by the way, the Center would be grateful to receive any of these items in good condition for use of new mothers and their infants.) Call the Center at 347-7770. Other centers located in the area inade Manassas, Charlottesville'and Winchester. Warrenton is open 10 to 4, Monday and Friday and 10 to 7 on Thursdays. Even First Lady Hillary Clinton said she believed abortion was wrong in a recent interview with Newsweek. I recognize this is a very controversial issue; however, it is still legal. We can only work to reduce the number being performed. With the AIDS scare and a 30 percent failure rate of condoms, wise young people are waiting. Sadly, some use the procedure as a method of birth control, having multiple abortions, which increase the risk of sterility in later years when they are ready to marry, settle down, and have a family. There may be special circumstances warranting an abotion to save the life of the mother or severely deformed infant. Some believe rape and incest should also be exceptions. In Roe vs. Wade 24 years ago, Norma McCorvey claimed rape; but after ruling she admitted she had lied. I hope anyone comtemplating the procedure will at least visit a Crisis Pregnancy center to learn of the development stage of their baby (heart beat 18 days; brain waves 40 days) and consider adop^on if they’re unable to keep the infant. There are more adoption requests each year than there are abortions. Give your child a chance at life! CATHY SMITH Amissville Keep FLE To the Editor: The fact that Virginia Governor George Allen proposes to repeal statewide “sex education” requirements at a time of increasing birth rates and sexually transmitted disease cases among teens in Virginia and nationwide is a reflection of inaccurate information about the education these programs provide and their importance to the lives of our state’s children. Allen’s argument that family life classes do no^ receive his support because the teen pregnancy rate has not declined in the last couple of decades is as absurd as would be a proposal to drop math courses because students’ SAT scores in the subject are unsatisfactory. Instead, we need to look at how to further strengthen family life courses and develop additional support mechanisms to help alleviate the problem while examining more seriously how this nationwide crisis can be addressed. In fact, contrary to Allen’s assertion, family life education programs, especially those that reach younger adolescents during critical, impressionable ages, do, indeed, have an impact. An example of a nationwide program which has demonstrated success for the past seven years with middle school student is Project Taking Charge, operated under the auspices of the American Associaiton of Family and Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) and funded by the Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs in the Department of Health and Human Services. Abstinence-oriented and schoolbased, the program helps youth and their parents understand the connection between sexual activity, early childbearing, educational achievement, and occupations! goals. Research has shown that participating adolescents experienced changes in sexual knowledge and attitudes and were significantly less likely to initiate sexual intercourse six months after completing the program than were adolescents who had not participated in this educational program. The project is now in its second phase, El Future es Mio, focusing on Hispanic youth and their parents. As you can see. Project Taking Charge, like other family life education, offers much more than sex educaiton. These programs present material on sex and sexuality in conjuncion with information on: values; Our Rappahannock Heritage 4 fw?' -n Rappahannock News Staff Fhoto/Cindy Mahan This wreathe and sled decorated the porch of Washington House for the holidays. decision-making; conflict resolution; goal setting; vocational planning; communications skills; and self-development; all within the context of the family and focusing on individual responsibility. Many of AAFC’s 20,000 members are teachers of family life education and professors preparing teachers for these programs. Inherent to our profession is the belief in parents’ rights to make choices about their children’s education. However, Allen’s proposed requirement that parents would have to actively opt into the family life program in order for their children to attend the classes means that those children whose parents are less involved—the very youth who need this education the most— would, in effect, be denied access to tl^ese courses. We realize that we cannot ensure that all teens are responsible with respect to sexual activity. But we can verify through research and practice within our field that family life courses help students develop the strong self esteem and skills they need to make solid choices in this area. Because human development begins before birth and is ongoing, family life courses in public schools cannot be viewed as a “total answer” to the problems of young people. They are, however, a vital part of the solution. \ PEGGY S. MASZAROSWD., President AAFCS Alexandria Bear Photo Enjoyed To the Editor; I am a 29 year old lifelong resident of Washington. I have a problem accepting the remarks and attitudes of others who have stated their opinions about the killing of the bear and about the photo of the bear in the Dec. 14 issue of the Rappahannock News, I am a country girl. I’ve always raised chickens. My Daddy has raised all kinds of farm animals and has taken care of many others. I’ve been around animals all of my life. I’ve also been involved with putting dinner on the table. However, I have never found any venison or bear at the supermarket. I have had the experience of hutching hogs and sheep, plucking chickens and turkeys, and skinning deer, rabbit and squirrel. Although I have a weak stomach, my experiences have made my strong and realistic. I have no problem with the bear photo. , I love wild animals even more than domestic in some cases. I take a lot of walks “in the wilderness.” I’ve seen nature at its best. I’ve seen all kinds of wildlife—deer, turkey, pheasant, owl, rabbit, squirrel, coons, fox, possums, quail, woodhens, bobcat, mountain cats, birds of many colors, beavers, bears, ete. However all of my experiences have not been fun. Foxes and dogs have killed my chickens. I’ve been followed by a mountain cat, which also took a leap at me. I’ve had deer jump over my car and near misses with others. I’ve followed and been followed, even chased by a bear. People have to realize that all these animals are real and any of them, even farm animals, can be dangerous. (Beware of my roosters.) If you’re in Rappahannock you’re in the wild. It is ridicullous and outright funny to think that any of these animals are uncommon and rare here “in the wild.” I’ve seen a dozen or more bear here in the county. I’ve also seen bears in three surrounding counties and many up on Skyline Drive. Bears can be very destructive. They have attacked calves and horses, ruined crops, bee hives, and gardens here in this county in the. past. f People need to become more aware of what is around them. I couldn’t believe the remarks made about the bear and/or photo. Why should people be offended? (it wasn’t a picture of the dressing.) Why not kill a bear? May you never be chased by one. Stop killing bears, fox, bobcat, etc.? What Are You Saying? I did not find the bear photo upsetting, tasteless, disrespectful, disappointing, or anything else along these lines. I found it newsworthy, I saw and understood the story in the picture. “Dancing bear?” has been blown totally out of proportion. It is so sad that no one saw the story in the picture. Perhaps the Game Warden or Department of Game and Inland Fisheries could shed some light on the subject of bears for the readers of the Rappahannock News. I am a fast, eager learner with an expandable knowledge base. Others need to know that bears are not all Teddys. Fellow readers, take a hike! Look around, but be careful—they are out there! Finally as to the picture of the bear—pongraulations, Mr. Lagosyou appeared to have a nice clean kill; I appreciated seeing the actual size of the bear. I would like to know its weight. As a fellow hunter, I realize the skill you have mastered. Thank you and the Rappahannock News for sharing your story with us. I enjoyed it. DONNA SUE SMOOT Washington Dismayed By Bear Pnoto To the Editor: I was dismayed to find on the front page of your Dec. 14 issue a photograph of a dead bear strung-up * to look as if he were “dancing,” the inclusion of that photograph, withits headline, “Dancing Bear?” was in egregiously poor taste and demonstrate shocking insensitivity.

Allen's Program Faces Trouble By JOHN GOOLRICK Nearly a year ago George Allen stood in Arctic weather on the steps of the State Capitol and delivered a strident speech that sounded more like campiagn rhetoric than an inaugural address. Now when the General Assembly convenes for its odd year so-called “short” session, the Governor will dive into the second phase of his pledge to “take back Virginia” from the liberals and bureaucrats he thinks had increasingly controlled it under a dozen years of Democratic rule. Phase one was the easy part when Allen proposed rigid policies to abolish parole for repeat violent offenders and to make life in Virginia much tougher for those intent bn breaking the law. Though some complained that Men’s plan would require an enormously costly program to build new prisons to house offenders, Democrats realized that the crime* issue ^as instrumental in getting Allen elected. They could read-polls show - ing widespread support for such measures as three-strikes-andyou’re-out and had no politically viable way to put up spirited resistance to the new Governor on that issue. ! But for Allen the second time around puts up a horse of a different eolor as he proposes deep cuts in state spending and tax cuts simultaneously and attempts to argue that the cuts won’t have harmful impact on education, the poor, the elderly and other constituencies. His proposals have already raised the dander of such powerful Democratic legislators as Sen. Hunter A. Andrews of Hampton and Del. Richard Cranwell of Vinton who have shown themselves perfectly willing in the past to toss assorted monkey wrenches into the paths of Governors be they of the Democratic and Republican persuasions. Some wonder, including this pundit who is certainly not in the gubernatorial loop, about the timing of Allen’s proposals. They think it may have been more prudent on the Governor’s part to propose some spending cuts in 1995 and further reductions plus tax cuts in the budget he will proposed in 19% for the next biennium. That would be taking a leaf from the pages of Newt Gingrich and company who have said they will first enact spending cuts deep enough to pay for middle-class tax relief they want because if spending cuts can’t be enacted, then there is no revenue to pay for the tax cuts. Now the Governor and staff will be faced with the formidable task of keeping both proposals in the air at once. 'Hie wide ranging cuts will be the subject of much controversy because, if enacted, they are going to inflict considerable pain among constituencies who have become us6d to being catered to the past few decades. ‘ Tax cuts, of course, remain an ever popular political tool—normally very valuable in an election year scenario—but CranweU and Andrews may have powerful allies in governing bodies of state cities, towns and counties who are already protesting that if some of Allen’s tax reductions are passed, particularly elimination of the gross receipts tax on businesses, local taxes such as real estate taxes may have to be raised to compensate for the lost revenue. Picture the dilemma therefore of Harry Homecomer who is thinking that it would be nice to get a state tax reduction, but not so nice to have his already skyrocketing real estate taxes go up again. Harry might just stop and think that he could be better off paying the same amount of state taxes and not having, to pay more for the roof over his family’s head. Governor Allen is doing the kind of philosophical things he said he would do while running for office, chopping through the forest of government to reduce its size and scope, and trying to return savings to the people. Yet the forest may be a bit more deep and dark than he imagined, and he is not going to get through it without a bitter fight over these next six to seven weeks.

The school budget includes about $151,500 from the state for special education and $68,350 from the federal government. When a student is recommended for evaluation for special education a very definite process is set into place with regimented time guidelines. There will be a psychological evaluation and usually a social one as well. A committee that includes parents, teachers, administrators, and counsellors will develop an “Individual Educational Program” for each student who is identified as needing special education services. This must be reviewed and updated at least every three years. “Our job is to serve all children,” Dr. Gangel said. “One of the things we have to balance is how we can serve all children and achieve the greatest possible good with the resources we have. ” ►Election From Page 1 “I’ve served for many years.” He said, however, he might change his mind and wants to see “what’s going on” before making a final decision.

Piedmont District representative Frances Thornton said she absolutely would not be a candidate. “I’m too old,” she said.

Is it a dream of the angels so recently bid farewell upon beginning the journey into life as we know it? Perhaps the "old wives" conclusion is more than just a "tale". Perhaps the twitch is truly a smile. So close is an infant to heaven...to that realm of perfection and peace...as near as we shall be until once more life is no longer dependent upon the beating of the heart or breathing out and breathing in...when the spirit shall again fly free, the soul unblemished by human frailty. Each infant born is a living reminder of Cod's miracu- - lous omnipotence. 'Thou whose glory above the heavens is chanted by the mouth of babes and infants..." (Psalm 8:2). Worship your Father this Sabbath with the trust of a newborn babe. "Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusts in Thee" (Isaiah 25:3).

Helping Your Overweight Child By HELEN W. SMITH Extension Agent, Home Economics If you’ve been tola your child is overweight, you’re not alone. A great number of American children carry around too much body weight as fat. Unfortunately, for many kids it means much more than not fitting into an ideal size. Experts feel that children who do not maintain an appropriate weight increase their risk for poor health, especially if their weight problem continues into adulthood. How Did It Happen? The ways in which children become overweight are as different as children themselves. For some, being overweight is genetically determined. That is, the likelihood to be heavy is passed down from preceding generations. Or perhaps being big is now the ‘In” look. Or it may be something else entirely. What all of these children have in common, however, is they are taking in too may calories from the foods they eat and using up too few through exercise. The result is too much body fat. Goals To Achieve There are three goals for which you should strive to help your overweight child: 1. Help your children grow into his/her current body weight rather then encouraged weight loss. Weight loss in growing children is not healthy. The idea is to keep you child’s weight steady until he/she grows to the proper height for that weight. When that happens, you child’s weight can increase to keep " pace with normal growth. 2. Establish eating habits that will allow your child to grow and develop normally while keeping his/her body weight in line. Experts recommend that all healthy children over two years old eat a wide variety of lower-fat foods from all the major food groups. Limiting fat in the diet will help to keep calories and-tx)dy I fat at a minimum. Eating adequate I servings from a variety of foods 1 within each food group will ensure i that your child gets all the nutrients ; he/she needs for normal growth and i development. j 3. Make moderate exercise a reg- i ular and enjoyable part of your i child’s life. Many children fill up < their space time by watching TV or ( playing video games. Neither of t these activities gives children the exercise they need to tone their ^ muscles or bun the extra calories 1 HOME ECONOMICS they eat. In fact, sitting in front of the TV might even encourage children to eat more than they would otherwise. Let’s Get Real! “Let’s get real,” you say. Children today are in charge of their own food and exercise charge of their own food and exercise choices and don’t take kindly to demands from you. That’s certainly true for many. Nevertheless, there are tactics you can take to help children along: Try friendly encouragement to get your child to make appropriate food choice - instead of using force of coercion. For example, recommend, (don’t insist) that your child choose a grilled chicken cutlet over a cheeseburger in his/her favorite fatfood restaurant. They may not take your suggestion every time, but you can educate and at the same time avoid making food choices a power struggle. Take a positive approach. Talk nore about the right food choices ;han the wrong ones. A positive approach can reinforce good eating labits instead of creating a fear of ’ood. For example, tell your child you’re serving spaghetti with tonato sauce because it’s good and ilso happen to be a nutritious, ower-fat choice. Get to know your child’s eating mbits away from home. The plan he snacks and meals he/she eats at lome to balance out their daily fat ind nutrient intake. For example, if mu child eats fast foods for lunch ind cookies for snacks, offer cereal, ruit and one percent or nonfat milk or breakfast. Also, serve lower-fat neal for dinner. That way, you hild’s eating patterns over several lays will consist of adequate nutriion without too many calories. Encourage family exercise. For xample, tak walk, ride bikes, go iking, whatever sports or exercise your family like. Or, instead of snacking together, work out. Children learn by example and are more likely to be active if their parents are as well.
