Governor's Budget Amendments Affect County Programs By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer The members of the Board of Supervisors heard a long list of ways Rappahannock will be adversely impacted by amendments to the state budget proposed by Gov. George Allen. The county has been able to get state funds for prisoners kept in the county jail awaiting trial. The cost of providing these funds to localities has been a growing and unpredictable cost to the state. Gov. Allen has proposed that the amount of funds allocated to this* purpose be cut and fixed, so that once they run eut, localities will no longer be able to collect. To offset this cut the state is proposing that the court system be beefed up so no one remains in jail awaiting trial for more than 60 days. Sheriff John Henry Woodward and Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke noted Rappahannock only has term days every other month. They said it will probably be impossible to hold trials within 60 days of arrest. County Administrator John McCarthy said the governor’s amendments also call for a cut of 30 percent in the state's contribution to the expenses of operating the Treasurer's and Commissioner of Revenue’s offices. These offices are required by the state Constitution. The state has been funding approximately 50 percent of the cost of operating those offices. The state sets the salaries for these offices. Any cuts will have to be picked up by local taxes. 1 Mr. McCarthy said the budget amendments also propose to cut funding for the registrar of voters and the electoral board, but he said it was not clear whether the county will have to make up the difference in that. In addition, the budget amendments callfor a cut of 90 percent in funding for general relief in the Social Services Department. This money is used for such things as emergency heating or food. “We generally go through ours a little more than half way through the year," Mr. McCarthy said. With the 90 percent cut funds would probably last less than one month, he suggested. He said that smaller cuts of 2 percent in Social Services administration and for the See Budget, Page A-6 1995 Assembly Session Promises Varied Controversies By SHERRYJONES Capital News Service With the General Assembly under way, Virginians can anticipate potential tax cuts, but they also will learn which state programs will be cut to make up for the lost state revenue. Gov. George Allen’s proposed tax cuts include tripling personal, dependent, blind and age exemptions for Virginia’s individual income tax. This tax cut would result in $1.35 billion less state revenue over a five year period. “I am very much in favor of that,” said Sen. Kevin G. Miller, Rf 26th, whose district inlcudes Rappahannock County, adding that this increase will reduce taxes significanlty for lower-income families. Exemptions would increase form $800 to $2,400 per person. This means a family of four, including a working couple and two children, would pay no tax on the first $14,600 of income instead of the current $8,200. Virginians also may see a fiveyear phase out of the business, profession and occupational license tax—also known as the gross receipts tax collected by some localities but not Rappahannock. Be eliminat ing the gross receipts tax, Allen’s proposal would reduce income of localities by $750 million over a fiveyear period. His plan calls for replacing that revenie with state funds. Earlier this week a joint SenateHouse subcommittee recommended an alternate plan that would maintain the tax but exempt businsses earning an auual revenie of $100,000 or less. Instead, these businesses would pay a maximum $50 fee. The net effect of the subcommittee’s proposal would eliminate about 75 percent of the small businesses from having to pay the tax. Revenues in larger localities would be re duced by about four percent. As a member of the subcommittee, Sen. Miller said he wants to hear more about the governor’s proposal. “I’m all in favor of eliminating the tax, but I do not believe we can do it without providing replacement funding for localities,” Sen. Miller said. The license tax is imposed on doctors, law; , contractors and restaurant as well as business services. i<: ong others. “I think we can work out something so that vi e ean have the best of both worlds,’’ Sen. Miller said„ add ing that overall he agrees with Gov. Allen’s proposal to gradually phase out the tax. Anoter major concern for many legislators such as Sen. Miller is the proposed cut of funds for the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. In his budget amendments, Gov. Allen calls for slashing nearly $8 million from the agriculture-based extension service, which operates offices in every city and county in the state. An additional $5 million would be cut from agriculture research stations, such as the fruit research center in Winchester. “It distresses me to see a cutback of that amount,” Sen. Miller said. “I hope we can restore at least a substantial portion of that." He called it a matter of priority. The General Assembly, he said, needs to realize how important this service is to much of Virginia. In additon, high on the list of concerns is the funding for Gov. Allen’s ambitious prison-building plan that legislators approved at the end of last fall’s special session. These same legislators will have to find more money for building and operating See Assembly, Page A-6' Old Rag Bulletins Hotline During the General Assembly session voters may tell their representatives their views by calling a special toll free hotline number in Richmond.

Four Indicted for Theft Of Cof f eewood T ree Term Day Brings Other Indictments, Plea Agreements, Trial Dates By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer In Rappahannock County Circuit Court on Monday, four petfple were indicted by the Grand Jury for grand larceny for stealing a coffeewood log. On Monday, a capias was issued for Towonda Harris, 21, of Remington, Thomas C. Haun, Jr., 24, of Rixeyville, and John Russell Turner, 33, of Culpeper. The fourth person indtcWflTwite William Myran Haun, Jr., 29, of Remington] who is already in jail in Fairfax on an unrelated charge. They were charged with cutting down a coffeewood tree on December 4, 1994 on property bordering Route 632 in Huntly. According to Major Ed Streapy of the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Offi e, they allegedly took a 13 inch by eight foot leg from the tree and sold it for $200 to Rob Jenkins of Jenkins’ Logging in a nearby county, 'fhey sold the log the day after it was discovered missing by the property owners in Huntly. The four were charged with grand larceny instead of a rhisdemeanor because the value of the allegedly stolen property was worth $200 or more. Msyor Streapy said that coffeewood, also known as pauiownia, is an extremely valuable wood. Mr. Jenkins sells the wood to people in Japan, who have many uses for it, including religious artifacts, use in rituals, musical instruments, and dowry chests. Michael G. Robinson, 19, of Gainesville, was indicted for grand larceny for allegedly stealing 19 or more knives during the first week of December 1994 from Larry Kommes, who lives on Route 637 in Amissville. Major Streapy said that the knives are collector’s buck knives worth more than $2,700. A capias •was also issued for Mr. Robinson on Monday. Susan Eaton Warren, 48, of Sperryville, will be tried with a jury on Feb. 17 for allegedly possessing a firearm while being a convicted felon. Mrs. Warren was present with her attorney Mark Williams at a suppression hearing on Monday. Her attorney argued that two firearms found at her residence last August were discovered during an illegal search. Deputy Connie Compton contended that she had permission to search the trailer from Mrs. Warren’s husband, who was present in the trailer. Mrs. Warren said she did not. Mrs. Warren said that she and her husband had “an eight day marriage,” and she blamed him for the fire which burned down her house last winter. \ According to Deputy Compton, she was called to the.residence by Mrs. Warren, who wanted her to remove her husband, claiming that he was drunk and disorderly. She also claimed that he had been violent, shooting out two tires on her truck and striking her. Deputy Compton said that Mrs. Warren gave her consent to enter the trailer, where Mr. Warren was asleep. When Deputy Compton got inside, she said she saw the butt of a gun in plain view, sticking out from between the boxspring and mattress on which Mr. Warren lay. She said that he subsequently woke up and gave her consent to search the rest of the trailer. She said that she found another firearm on the premises. Mrs. Warren was charged with possession of a firearm while being a convicted felon. In a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, Samuel L. Robinson, 25, of Washington, pleaded guilty to malicious wounding, while maintaining that he did not commit the crime. Mr. Robinson has been tried twice for the inci lent which allegedly occurred at the Pine Knot Inn in November, 1992. He was charged "ith maliciously wounding Walter Freeman, .mong other charges. He was previously found guilty of brandishing a firearm, which is a misdemeanor. If the com t accepts the plea agreement, Mr. Robinson pt be sentenced to-12 years in the penitentiary, with six years suspended for the malicious vounding charge, and 12 months to serve for the brandishing a firearm charge, for a total of seven years to be sewed. He will also be on supervised probation for five years upon his release and will be required to pay restitut on of $15,596.98 for medical bills within five years of his release.

Katzen Tours Spring Mountain School By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st District, visited Spring Mountain School in Washington Monday. Sally Walker, president of the board of directors of the school, had asked him to visit because the school is interested in exploring the |>ossibility of becoming a charter school. Del. Katzen favors legislation to allow charter schools, special public schools which would get state and local funding like regular public schools. The charters w'ould be granted by local school boards. Charter schools would be free from much state regulation. Del. Katzen toured the school, which follows a Waldorf curriculum, with Ms. Walker, Rob Sherwood and Laurie Marshall. Ms. Walker and Mr. Sherwood said the school ■ has financial problems that would be eliminated if the school could become a charter school. Because the school has to charge tuition, many parents cannot afford to send their children. With a charter and taxpayer funds the school could double enrollment, they said. Ms. Marshall said her son was identified as learning disabled in the public school. At Spring Mountain he is able to function like the other children. She said Spring Mountain School could serve other children who have problems learning in regular public schools or are considered disruptive. Charter schools will take resources from regular public schools, and to overcome resistance to that, charter schools need to find ways to help the public schools, ehe said. “What the public schools are trying to do is tough,” Ms. Marshall said. “No private school tries to do what the public schools do with abused kids and handicapped kids.” Del. Katzen suggested the parents come to the General Assembly to testify when the education committees hold public hearings oncharter school legislation.

Massie To Seek Reelection Hampton District representative on the Board of Supervisors Mike Massie announced this week that he will be a candidate for another term on the board. Mr. Massie said several constituents had contacted him in the past week and urged him to run. He said near the top of his list of concerns for the coming four years is developing a central dumpster site that is manned “to reduce the unlimited liability we now have with the open dumpsters.” He said that would also eliminate the county getting trash from outside the county that has to be buried at the landfill. He said another goal is to “better protect the environmentally sensitive areas of the county.” He noted that it is common for people to want t^pbuild their houses on tops of mountains. “We need to find ways to protect the sensitive mountain areas and also not deny anybody their dream,” he said.

Strange Public Hearing Held By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Barry Wright, an administrator with the Department of Environmental Quality, and three assistants came to the courthouse last Wednesday to conduct a public hearing on the county’s application to open a new cell at the landfill. He read from a long page saying the purpose of the hearing was to hear from the public on the technical aspects of the county’s application and citing the legal requirements for the hearing. In response to a question, Mr. Wright said the reason for holding the hearing was to meet requirements of the law. He said he did not know how much it cost Virginia to have four employees of the department come to Washington but he would try to find out. There were no other comments or questions. Mr. Wright was apparently unaware that although the county does not yet have a permit SH0R1N-RYV OKINAWAN KARATE Wednesday @ Ki Theatre Gay St.,Washington, VA.

In fact, following its own public hearing, the county borrowed $1.5 million from the Virginia Resources Authority for constructing the newcell. At the Board of Supervisors regular meeting, which followed the public hearing, County Administrator John McCarthy said that work on the cell has halted because of cold weather. He said that the liner must be installed when the temperature will stay warm. Mr. McCarthy said the county could arrange to have a tent put over the cell and hot air blown Tn so the liner seams can be sealed. He said the county will have to balance the cost of that with the cost of continuing to pile trash higher on the current cell and then paying to have it moved to the new cell. New Block Scheduling Delayed at High School By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer The School Board accepted Superintendent David Gangel’s recommendation that block scheduling at the high school be delayed for another year. Originally the school system had planned to implement block scheduling for the 1995-96 school year. At Tuesday night’s meeting Dr. Gangel said that the high school faculty is divided on whether to choose a semester or alternate day system. Under a semester system, students would take and complete four classes the first semester and take four different classes the second semester. The classes would meet for longer periods than is possible in the current seven-period school day. Under the alternate-day system classes would also be longer, but students would take eight classes at once with four meeting on one day and four different ones on the next day. Dr. Gangel said there is also a great deal of uncertainty about how much implementing a block scheduling system will cost, and it is late in the budget process to have such uncertainty. He said it will be necessary to add more courses to implement block scheduling. That will possibly require more staff, more classrooms and more books. The school system is expecting an increase of about $28,000 from the state for the coming year’s budget, he said. Any additional expenses beyond that amount must come from local taxes. He said he believes this will be a year with a “budget crunch.” Implementing a 3 percent salary increase will cost about $120,000, he said. Stonewall-Hawthom District representative John Tole said he felt delaying block scheduling was another example of an opportunity to bring increased creativity to the high school curriculum that was coming to nothing. “I’m disappointed and frustrated that we can’t get going on this. It distresses me greatly,” he said. Chairman Beverly Massie said, “I’m frustrated too, but I would rather defer it for a year and make sure we have covered all the bases. I would rather see a good program than go off half cocked.” The board adopted a motion tc have a committee of teachers, ad mmistrators and parents work on developing a block scheduling program. They asked to have a report on the committee at the next meeting. Dr. Gangel said the addition of one more child to the pre-school handicapped program requires hiring another teacher. He said he had already started the process by advertising for another teacher. Dr. Gangel said more than half of the students who entered Rappahannock schools in December were assigned to special education classes. The board considered a request by parent Rosa Crocker that the budget include funds for “enrichment programs” at each school. These assemblies, one eaclL semester for each student would cost about $2,500 she said. She,, said a group of parents that meets the first Thursday of each month has been developing ideas for improving the schools, and this is their highest priority. The board also heard a presentation by the fifth-grade teachers on programs in their classes and took a tour of the newly opened elementary school addition. Richard Smith reported that bids for buses to be bought in the next budget should be ready for the board to consider at the February meeting. He also reported that work had been completed on improvements to the high school sewage treatment system. The improvements cost $28,238, he said. > 4-H Club Has Successes By RENEE GOODWIN Reporter It was another successful 4-H meeting on Jan. 9 for the Joy Luck Club. We also very successfully reached our goal to send Shannon to Disney. Thank you to all the donors who made the trip possible. We are writing to express our concern about he proposed budget for 1995-96, which includes dramatic cuts to Virginia Cooperative Extension.

George Allen as amendments to the upcoming second year of the! biannual budget is only the first installment on what is intended to be a five-year, $2.1 billion reduction in state income taxes. Basically the governor is proposing to increase the personal exemption from income taxes from $800 per person to $2,400 per person. The reductions announced so far would cover increasing it from $800 to $1,000. What is less clear is how much local real estate taxes will have to be increased to make up for reductions in state spending. One small piece of this equation is clearly in place. The state constitution requires that Rappahannock County have offices for a Treasurer and Commissioner of Revenue^ The salaries for these constitutional officers and their assistants are set by the state compensation board. In the past the state has funded its estimate of half the cost of operating these offices. Gov. Allen’s budget amendments would reduce the state contribution by 30 percent. The cost of operating the offices would not go down, so the county would have to come up with the difference through real estate taxes. This is not an alarming increase, about one cent on the tax rate. But how much more will be passed off onto local taxes when the full amount of the income tax cut is taken into account in four more years? Charter Schools The visit by Del. Jay Katzen to Spring Mountain School and the discussion there on the possibility of having that become a charter school sheds a whole new light on the debate about charter schools. One of the strongest arguments against the charter school concept is that charter schools, which can set their own admission requirements, would take in the easiest children to educate, leaving the regular public schools with students who are disruptive or in need of expensive special services. One parent reported that her son, identified as needing special services to function in public school, can function very well in a regular classroom at Spring Mountain School with its Waldorf curriculum. If that result can be duplicated with other children, probably the charter school concept deserves another look. If charter schools are willing to serve the full range of children that public schools are required by law to serve, they may earn the right to taxpayers dollars. J S VtouCTicH o£ STatb iHCont T4/ t A/££E5/nc&A$e UCAL %AL £<&&£ TaH Letters FCNL Helps With National Issues To the Editor: Over 50 years ago, during W.W.II, some Quakers around the country set up the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) in Washington, D.C., for years the only registered lobby of a religious group, firnded with non-tax deductable contributions. The impetus for its founding was the need to help conscientious objectors, many of whom were Quakers. Following, the war, mindful that work for peace and a just society is an every-day necessity, the Committee decided to continue its work. Quakers and others from throughout the nation are members and they set the organization’s policies and up-date its priorities before a new Congress convenes. Three lobbyists work on its agenda and keep subscribers to its news letter informed of important actions before Congress and, sometimes, before the administrative agencies. Every Friday afternoon a legislative up-date is recorded on a tape where anyone may call to find out about issues the organization believes are important and advise on what a concerned citizen may do to try to affect actions on them. The phone number is f202) 547-4343. People following matters on Capitol Hill often have information and ideas that are not generally available or talked about—especially in ways that the best informed participants understand. The last call I made gave me some facts about threatended cu,ts in the proposed budget for the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA), perhaps even threats to the Agency’s existence. I also learned why FCNL lobbyists are opposed to the proposed Balanced Budget Amendment. I was urged to write to my representative and senators asking them to oppose cuts in ACDA and to oppose the legislation that contains the Balanced Budget Amendment. It has occurred to me that some of our citizens might like to know that by calling the FCNL “Hot Line” they can receive information on issues of importance they might otherwise not know about and might appreciate the insights a group of Quakers have on pending legislation. FCNL works with many other religious and civic groups interested in affecting public policies and often takes a leadership role in permanent and temporary coalitions. Its longtime experience and unusually competent staff have brought it respect in the Congress and among everyone who knows of its work, whether or not they affirm its positions. The office is located at 245 2nd St. N.E. just beside the Hart Senate Office Building. I have been a member of the Committee since 1972 and I have attended most of its annual meetings since then and worked, until this year, on several of its governing committees. DIANA BIRD Washington Our Rappahannock Heritage l Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cindy Mahan Saturday morning brought a fairyland of ice covered trees to Harris Hollow. Special Ed Story Inflamatory To the Editor: Regarding the “news” story about special education in the Jan. 4 edition: what exactly was the purpose of that inflammatory piece? It is obvious from the innuendo and manipulation of information that the author has an unstated agenda. Was it/fecessary to publish this article at this time? Is there any defensible reason to fuel the fires of resentment against those who learn differently from other students? The article was so full of halftruths and manipulated statistics that the reader has no way of determining the truth. Increasing—“with no end in sight?” How many students are enrolled in the school system? How much has the “regular” school enrolled in the school system? How much has the “regular” school population grown since 1989? What percentage of the school population is in special education? What does the new wing of the elementary school. 93 percent of w'hieh is occupied by regular ed, have to do with special education? What percentage of administrative time is spent on other programs? Is there never a need to interview for teacher and aide positions in regular ed? Has the county never had to add a teacher in regular ed after the new’ year has started? Does the system receive state and federal monies for other services? The majority of these special education pupils whom the author so easily asperses will be self-supporting, tax-paying citizens as adults. Isn’t that a good reason to avoid publishing biased articles which unnecessarily foster inappropirate resentment against special education? The Value-of-the-Month at Rappahannock County Elementary School in January is kindness. It would be refreshing if the adults in the community could also learn these values along with the pupils In the interest of full disclosure, for twelve years I have contracted with the Rappahannock County Schools to provide Physical Therapy for students who qualify for these services. As a contractor, I am the receipient of a minuscule part of that special ed budget. DOLORES M. DRISCOLL, P.T., M.S. Warrenton Preserve Rural Heritage Tp the Editor: I’m writing in response to the*1 recent barrage of letters about the picture of the dancing bear. I see no conflict between the picture and having information about the S.P.C.A. These people need to get a grip. Hunting is a necessary and for many people an enjoyable part of life, and it’s the hunting industry that pays for the upkeep on the parks that allow these animals to have a place to live in the first place. Most hunters I have known have more of an understanding and respect for nature and wildlife than any of those I’ve known who’ve spent their lives in the unreality of suburbia reading books about nature. This is a rural area where it is not unusual for people to go hunting, and I certainly hope it stays this way and doesn’t become likp Fairfax where starving animals are killed by cars at night and taken to the dump in the morning by the highway department. I’d much rather my son be influenced by a hunter with a sense of humor than many of the other things that are out in the world today. Please keep this paper rural and don’t be influenced by those who want this to become just another bedroom community for D.C. MRS. L. AMES Amissville Christmas S S To the Editor: For many years the Amissville Churches and the Rurtian Club have joined forces to make Christmas a little better for those in need, shutins, and those who are alone over the holidays. This year we reached 82 homes in the Amissville community. The Churches and the Ruritan Club would like to thank all the people who helped to make this one of the best efforts ever. It was truly an expression of the Christmas spirit. DOROTHY Z. HACKLEY Amissville Oppose Allen's Budget Cuts To the Editor: There must be a message strong enough to persuade readers to stand firm against the witless budget cuts being sought by Governor Allen, whose concern for plenty, punishment, and pride far exceeds that for mercy, morality, and meaning. Education, on every level is a function of government—the basics and beyond should be our goal, whether through Extension programs, corrective programs, cultural curricula, or guidance. Welfare is a basic; illiteracy, like illegitimacy, is a product of the failure of funding the family at the foundation. I urge you, to contact immediately, by mail, telephone, fax or computer, your delegate, senator, key members of committees, and the governor himself, and state your protest. MITZIE YOUNG Washington Special Education Is Worth the Cost To the Editor: I am extremely upset at the tone of the article about special education in last week’s Rappahannock News. As I have a child who is benefitting greatly from the program, I am, admittedly, a biased reader. However, I found the article to be very negative. I thought news reporting was supposed to present the facts and editorials were supposed to express opinions and to be identified as such. I haven’t had enough time to gather all the numbers I would like to have to fully respond to the article, but I don’t want to let a response wait an additional week. Therefore, I’ll start with what I have thus far and respond paragraph by paragraph. Paragraph 2—It almost seems inconsequential how much of the budget goes to special ed as the program is dictated by federal and state regulations qnd, in actuality, the Rappahannock system seems to always be trying to get by with the bare minimum and living in the hope that certain problems will just go away. Paragraph 3—The gamut of special ed students can run from a 20-minute speech session a week, not 1/2 hour, to the student who has to go to Orange. This latter child has to go to a neighboring county because there is no local prograift for him. It is more economical, in this case, to make use of Orange’s program than to ini tiate one here considering a teacher’s salary states at about $22,000. Paragraph 4—Again, the law requires the county to provide services, and if they are not available locally, other arrangements must * be made, including residential treatment. Paragraph 6—The statements about the number of rooms in the new wing leads one to believe that seven special ed rooms and two speech rooms occupy the majority of the new space. In fact, there is only one. The class that serves the K-2 special ed children was given space in the new wing along with all the other K-2 students, but only after the threat of a law suit. When the new wing was being planned, special ed was not even taken into consideration. Also, the two speech rooms, in fact, only occupy half of a divided room apiece. There may only have been one special ed class when the Elementary School opened in 1968, but I wonder what percentage of students overall finally graduated. I would venture to say that since recognition of a broader range of special ed needs has increased and programs have been degWpped to help resolve the pnjybifts, a greater percentage of students are graduating. Paragraph 7—State law not only restricts the numbers a special ed teacher can serve, but also controls the numbers in g regular class. Granted, the former ratios are larger, but I can’t help but wonder how poorly served these special ed kids would be were they left to sink or swin on their own in the regular class. What would be the cost to them in their school years and after? Also, the frustration of the teachers who would fbave neither the time nor the resources to work with these students would be great.'''' Paragraph 8—The American with Disabilities Act not only requires that schools be wheel-chair accesible to students, but that all public buildings be wheel-chair acessible as well as accessible to other handicapped persons. I feel I need more information before I can address the rest of the article on anything more than an emotional level. Special ed is a problem that affects everyone at least peripherally, and it is one that is not going away. Due to increasing understanding of learning disabilties, more problems are being indentified which can’t be served by socalled “normal” classrooms. It must be remembered, however, that the goal of special ed is to maximize the potential of the kids and to, hopefully, main stream then. If that is not possible, to teach them to do the best they can with what they’ve got, so they won’t be a burden to society. This is a program that would be happiest if it were so successful that it lost all of its old students every year. This could have been a very positive article pointing to the excellence of servics available in this small county and about how successful the program has been. For instance, last year there were three students exiting the pre-school special ed program. One entered a “regular” kindergarten class. The second was borderline and went on to the K-2 special ed class with hopes that artwther year might see him leaving special ed. Initially there was no program in Rappahannock for the third child, and he tried a neighboring county. More recently, a program has been developed here. Every child that learns to surmount their difficulties and go on to become' a contributing member of society not only actually lessens the financial burden on all of us, but should also be a source of pride. We should also be extremely proud of the excellent, knowledable, caring staff we have in this county. Anyone who has doubts as to the need of these programs or as to their excellence, is more than welcome to observe, or better still, to volunteer. Contact me (6753848), the Elementary or High school offices or the individual special ed teachers. Anyone who is vehemently op-» posed to the program is advised to contact their elected officials.

BV JAMES J. KILPATRICK \ UnlrerMl Prew Syndicate The time is at hand—and a pleasant time it is—to announce winners in the Great Simile Contest of 1994. In Section One, we sought similes for something having to do with solidity. The $100 prize goes to W.F. Roberts of Otego, N.Y., who wrote of a woman “whose pie crusts were like plaster casts.” In Section Two, we invited similes for something having to do with laughter. A $100 prize goes to Arthur R. Miller of Akron, N.Y., who imagined a happy woman: “If her laugh could fill a glass you would call it champagne.” Section Three was for elementary and middle schools. The $100 prize goes to Mrs. Marie Franckowiak’s seventh-grade English class at Kenmore Middle School in Kenmore, N.Y. Section Four was for high schools. In a close contest for the $100, Stephanie Stewart’s sophomore class in English at Amelia High School, Batavia, Ohio, edged out Texas Military Institute in San Antonio. The 1994 contest attracted roughly 4,300 nonstudent partici-. pants who submitted two similes each. We had class entries from 282 schools with 8,070 student participants. Similes? I looked at 16,700 of them. A couple of threads ran through the contest as a whole. It was impossible to miss an aversion to polticians and to government in general. Hundreds of entries were to this effect: as flimsy as a polticiah’s promise...as laughable as a politician’s promise... the politican’s platform was about as solid as a two-minute egg. On a lighter note, it appeared evident that schoolchildren have an aversion to meat loaf and fruitcake, and to almost anything cooked by an older sister. “My grandma’s fruitcake is as bard as bricks.” “My sister’s biscuits are harder than hockey pucks.” “The cafeteria meat loaf is harder than cinderblocks and tastes about he same.” _A Hyenas! How did the idea of a laughing hyena get so firmly planted? At least 500 entries relied upon this hapless beast for similes of striking medicority. From Summit, 111.: Girls at a slumber party “giggled like a herd of laughing hyenas.” From Magnolia, Ohio: “The kids laughed as hard as hyenas.” These 500 entries, mind you, came from participants who never in their lives have seen or heard a live hyena. So it goes. Several entries from children carried a poignant note: “as solid as my parents’ marriage used to be”...“My dad used to laugh like a big bird, but now he only quarrels with mom.” To judge this year’s Great Simile Contest I set aside the thought of drafting professional writers or teachers. Instead I called in three friends who have been avid and eclectic readers for the past 65 years. They knew a good simile when they hit one. Their, judgment confirmed a theory I have been teaching all along —that the best similes come from keen observation of commonplace things. Second place in Section One went to Constance B. Sanborn of DeFuniak Springs, Fla., for frustration “as dense as a teen-ager's perception when you are explaining ‘why not.’” Now that’s dense. We had a tie for second place in Section Two. Elizabeth A. Mason of Greenville, S.C., came up with “Her giggle spread like broken beads on a hardwood floor.” Patricia S. Gray of San Antonio offered, “A smile wreathed her face like lace on a valentine.” Nice. Thank you, editors, for forwarding entries so promptly. Thank you, teachers, for the experience you gave your charges. And thank you, participants, for playing so cheerfully with the good clay of English prose.

Miller Suggests Dramatic Change in School Calendar State Sen. Kevin Miller, R-26th, whose district includes Rappahannock County, is suggesting that by 2001 the school calendar be changed , so that the year ends before Christmas. Sen.7 Miller has proposed that a joint legislative committee of the assembly study the issue. He said some such policy is needed to so children won’t have to wait for buses in the extreme cold of winter. He suggests that schools, especially in the western part of Virginia, close for January and February, rather than July and August. “Requiring small children to stand along roads in the pre-dawn hours in brutal winter weather conditions awaiting a bus is nothing short of child abuse,” Sen. Miller said. “The more extreme the weather conditions are, the more likely the bus will be late. With the recent dramatic increase in younger children attending kindgergarten and other programs, there is an increasing concern relating loathe health and safety of the students. Sen. Miller said it is not necessary any longer for children to be out of school during the summer to help with farm work. “I suspect that most youngsters, even in rural counties, don’t know what a hoe looks like,” he said. “The health and safety of students should be the primary consideration in the adjustment »f the school calendar. However, there are many other advantages. Eliminating the operation of public schools during the normally bitter weather conditions we experience during the months of January and February would result in substantial savings to most localities. This is especially true for those school districts operating a large fleet of busses. Other savings such as heating and maintenance would be realized. “Phasing in the new calendar by the year 2U01 whereby seniors will be graduating in December should be accomplished with very little impact on institutions of higher learning in the Commonwealth. This should give them ample time to prepare. “With the coming of elected school boards in many jurisdictions, I suspect that citizens would be inclined to favor those persons for membership on the school board who are more consideration of the wellbeing of the students.” yj v v \yi FREE Lite Cellular Phone with any ^ purchase. iL*Ia a & i\S Celebrate the holiday with BIG SAVINGS on SERTA SLEEPSETS including famous PERFECT SLEEPER !

►Budget From Page A-l Health Department will probably not be a problem for the county. The community services boards and mental health are also scheduled for cuts, but Mr. McCarthy said he did not know how that will affect the county. The supervisors had copies of a lease agreement to continue renting space from Peter Kramer for the extension service. They tabled consideration of this until later in the year because proposed cuts in state funding for extension might eliminate the Rappahannock office. The supervisors agreed to change the program granting tax relief to the elderly and disabled. Currently those with incomes below $12,500 are exempt from real estate taxes. They will hold a public hearing in February to increase that to $13,000 and to also exempt 50 percent of taxes for those with incomes between $13,000 and $15,000. At their evening public hearing the supervisors, approved a resolution to exempt the Rappahannock Brought to you by the Virginia Lottery.

The citizen’s league owns property on the Fodderstack Road with a community center on it. Louis Butler explained the building was built when the schools were segregated to provide a place for activities that could not fit in the schools or churches. He said the center was never a profit making venture, and the league hopes to repair it and again have events there. The board of the citizen’s league is made up of representatives from the county’s churches that are members of the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association. 4^ In other business the Board: • Reappointed Steven Slade to the Library Board for a new fouryear term; appointed Charlotte Nichols to a four-year term on the Library Board, and appointed Joy Sloane to fill out the two years remaining in Grace Sims term on the board. • Appointed Rosa Crocker to the Recreational Facilities Authority Board. • Extended the special exception permit for expansion of the Bleu Rock Inn for six months. • Learned that at the request of Autometric there has been a delay in notifying citizens in Washington, Flint Hill and Sperryville of their new addresses for E-911. ►Court From Page A-l had her “community diversion incentive (CDI)” revoked because of a drug violation. In September her urine specimen tested positive for cocaine and marijuana. Ms. Jackgon entered the CDI program last summer in lieu of serving a four year jail sentence after having been convicted of forgery. Ms. Jackson blamed her fall from grace on a fellow employee at a nursing home in Fauquier County. She said that she was pressured by him to get high. She said, “The guy I was working with kept at me all day every day and I just couldn’t take it anymore.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke said that Ms. Jackson has to be responsible for her own actions. He said, “The Commonwealth believes she has failed to comply with what she agreed. If she really had all these great feelings for her children she would have walked the straight and narrow.” Ms. Jackson is presently serving a 12 year sentence on similar charges in Fauquier County. James Riley Williston, 27, of Washington, entered into a plea agreement with the Commonwealth. He pleaded guilty to breaking and entering, two grand larceny charges, and escape. Last March he was sentenced to jail for prior felony convictions, and he escaped in June and committed more felonies. If the court agrees, he will be sentenced to 18 years, with nine suspended. Sentencing will take place at his next court date on March 13. Kenneth Lee Baldwin, 21, of Sperryville, will have a bench trial on Feb. 17. (A bench trial is a trial without a jury; the presiding judge decides the fate of the defendant.) Mr. Baldwin is appealing a jail sentence he received last November when Judge Charles Foley found him in contempt of a court order. At that time, Mr. Baldwin had been sentenced to six months in jail, with 90 days to serve. Michael W. Wharton, 22, of Washington, will be tried by a jury on Feb. 16. He was indicted in December and charged with malicious wounding.

Katzen Pledges Extension Support By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Staff Writer Del. Jay Katzen, R-31st District, met with constituents at the county library and ran into heavy opposition to cuts in funding for the extension service. Del. Katzen said his highest priority will be to restore funds for the extension service, but he said there is only a “remote” possibility all the funds will be restored. He said some funding will probably be restored because all delegates meet-, ifig with constituents are hearing opposition to the funding cuts. In December Gov. George Allen submitted pages of recommended amendments to the current two-year budget, including a Eduction of $6.3 million to extension services/on top ■ of a $600,000 cut for ttjejpimng year already in the budget. Del. Katzen said Gov. Allen in- ■ tends to have the cuts come to extension programs in urban and suburban areas rather than in rural areas such as Rappahannock. He said he has consistently supported the extension service because its aim is to improve crops and improve lives so recipients “can be more productive” and ultimately pay more taxes. Alex Sharp, chairman of the local extension leadership council, asked, “Is there a longer term solution? Will we have to fight every year this hard?” Del. Katzen suggested he put more effort into persuading Virginia Tech to be a partner in supporting extension and “make a pilgrimage to Blacksburg” to do so. “We’re raising money to build prisons,” Mr. Sharp said. “If money is spent on 4-H, we wouldn’t need so much for prisons.” Del. Katzen said, “The reality is we’ve got to spend money on both.” Peter Kramer said he had received valuable help from the extension service when he first moved to Rappahannock County and had called on them many times. He said unlike some surrounding counties (he specifically mentioned Culpeper and Fauquier) “Rappahannock really wants to remain rural.” The extension service is needed to interest county youth in farming, he said. The county leases space for the county extension service in a building owned by Mr. Kramer. Many of Gov. Allen’s budget cuts were proposed to fund a tax cut. “What is the push for a tax cut?” Mr. Kramer asked. Del. Katzen said it comes “from the feeling you know how to spend your money better than bureaucrats in Richmond. He explained that the money committees in both houses will work on the amendments to the budget and suggested people contact members of these committees. “It’s a long tortuous process,” he said. Roberta Anderson said she was concerned about cuts in higher education. She said it used to be easy for Virginia colleges and universities to attract top professors in their fields, but this is no longer true. Mrs. Anderson said she is also concerned about cuts in library funding. She is a member of the Library Board. Gov. Allen has proposed to freeze funding for libraries at the current level. That is $2,069 less than anticipated for the local library next year. John Marocchi said, “What we’re doing today is duplicated everywhere. In the last 40 years government has grown from 5 percent of gross domestic product to 40 percent. The standard of living has fallen in the United States. People have reached the point where they have had enough....Somehow we’ve got to turn this around? I agree extension contributes and art is a good thing to have. Libraries have more needs, but we’ve got to turn the leviathan around.” Mr. Sharp added, “But don’t cut the areas that do the most good first.” ►Assembly From Page A-1 prisons since Virginia has become a no-parole state. 4 Also on the slate for the legislators: • Reforming the state’s welfare system. • Requiring parental notification of teen-agers seeking abortions. • Permitting gambling on riverboats in Eastern Virginia. • Establishing charter schools free of some state regulations. • Increasing pay for state workera with the money coming from the state agencies’ own budgets. In addition to these proposals, the legislators are charged with finding $360 million in the budget to refund state taxes to federal retirees.

Piedmont United Way Raises $6,750 Locally Agreeing to chair the Piedmont United Way (PUW) Campaign was not taken lightly by service provider, Beverly Bowen, director of the Rappahannock Department of Social Services, when asked to be the Rappahannock County chair. She knew it would be a challenge raising funds in a communtiy unaware of the services support by PUW. After agreeing to chair the first United Way campaign in Rappahannock County, Ms. Bowen put together a team of volunteers to help her communicate the need for United Way support from the community. Piedmont United Way would like to congratulate the PUW campaign volunteers, Beverly Bowen, Roger Andrews, Beverly Atkins, Rose Ann Sharp and Anna Marie Davis for helping to successfully raise $6,752.50 in the first Rappahannock County United Way campaign. This total includes all monies raised in the county at this time. Any additional monies with a Rappahannock County address will be added to this sum in the final Rappahannock County count. One of the businesses hearing the call to help was Faith Mountain; a business not new at setting and meeting goals. Challenged to meet a goal of $1,000, the employees raised $2,138.50. Cheri Woodard, President increased that amount with a corporate gift of $1,000 making to to tal of $3,138.50 in their first PUW campiang. Congratulates Faith Mountain. One of the agreements between PUW and its agencies states that during campaign time the agency will fundraise with and for PUW. The number one agency for fundraising in this campaign is the Child Care and Learning Center. The center raised $2,000 at their annual Hay Ride. These donations will help to make a difference in the lives of children and families. United Way wishes to thank others investing in this first in-County campaign: individuals donating $980 to the Special Gift Division; employees of the county, library, and department of social services for the sum of $384; Rappahannock National Bank, $125 and a Commercial Division gift of $25. In 1994 PUW received $415 from Rappahannock County and allocated -'$3,000 to the Shenandoah Council Boy Scouts, and $3,000 to the Child Care and Learning Center. Other agencies receiving PUW funds to support services in Rappahannock County are: Services To Abused Families, Meals for the Elderly, Rappahannock Legal Services, the Virginia Skyline Girl Scout Council andF.O.R.E.

Music Contest Scheduled By BOB SCOTT Rappahannock News Contributing Writer Can you imagaine a world without music? Maybe, but we wouldn’t want to live in it. If you’re a young musician hoping for an audience, we would like to provide the opportunity for you to be seen and heard and to have your talent recognized. The Rappahannock Lions Club has been sponsoring annual music contests for many years. Virginia Lions Music competitions are being perpetuated as a living memorial to Jaihes A. Bland, the distinguished black composer who wrote the familiar song “Carry Me Back To Old Virginia,” which was adopted in 1940 by the General Assemby of Virginia as the official state anthem. Student vocalists or instrumentalists are eligible to participate when sponsored by a Virginia Lions Club if they are resident of the state and attending elementary, junior or senior high school. Rappahannock students who win at the local level could advance to compete with hun dreds of other young musicians all over the state for prizes and valuable scholarships made available through voluntary contributions from Lions Clubs throughout Virginia. This year’s Bland Music Contest will be held in the RCHS auditorium at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 19. If snow or ice requires that the event be postponed, it will be held on Sunday, Feb. 26. The Rappahapnock Lions Club will award cash prizes of $50, $35 and $25 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in both vocal and instrumental categories. Interested students can receive registration forms from the school or private music teachers or by contacting a member of the Lions Club. There’s still plenty of time to vocalize, toughen your Up or limber up your fingers. So rehearse your musical act, and prepare to share your talent with friends and family. You just may be better than you realize. You’ll never know until you try. By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock New* Staff Writer I The Flint Hill Store has beeh a popular spot for gathering and shopping for over 100 years. Wilson and Jean Burke are the current storekeepers. They have been there for the past eight years. Mr. Burke has been in the grocery business since 1952. He bega% with Schwartz Store in Sperryville, now known as the Sperryville Corner Store. He owned the store there with Randolph Clater, the current proprietor, who is the brother of his wife Jean. The next stop for him was a Safeway in Northern Virginia where he got most of his training in butchering meat. He also worked at Burke’s store in Woodville before starting at the Flint Hill Store in 1987. Flint Hill Store is one of two stores in the county which carries fresh meats, and the Burkes are obviously proud of that -fact. Their fresh meat section offers steaks, ground beef, chicken, roasts, country sausage, and pork chops. “I worked a long time and I enjoyed it. I miss the people. I am crazy about people.” 'Frances Bradford Have a hankering for a cookout even though it’s January? Everything on the shopping list can be found at Flint Hill Store: fresh steaks, chicken, barbeque sauce, potatoes, ingredients for a fresh garden salad, and even marshmallows. Chareoal and lighter are also available. Another unusual service of the store is a little area with three tables and chairs set up for breakfast, lunch and snacks. A hot lunch is available daily as well as sandwiches, and country ham biscuits are always a popular menu itefti. Mrs. Burke says that they try to carry a little of everything in the store, and that is evident when walking up and down the aisles. Besides the meat section, there is fresh produce available, baking supplies, stationery supplies, a myriad of canned goods, cleaning supplies, soft drinks, beer and wine, country hams, bread and cookies, frozen foods, pet foods, candles, and even some vestiges from the past, such as hair nets and bobby pins, and pocket combs for 25 cents. According to Jean Lillard, the owner of the building which houses Flint Hill Store, the store was first opened as Carey Store in 1889 by Alex Carey. He purchased the building from the Yates family. “This is the last stop.” —Jean Burke Mr. Marvin Bradford Sr. Ipurchased the building in 1930, and’ran the store with his family until his death in 1944. His son Boo, along with his wife Frances Bradford, who still resides in Flint Hill, ran the store along with a restaurant from 1941 through 1981. Mrs. Bradford said, “I worked a long time and I enjoyed it. I miss the people. I am crazy about people.” Ms. Lillard also said that there used to be a potbellied stove right in the center of the store. Also, upstairs was “Toyland,” a toy store which was open from Thanksgiving to Christmas, with visits from Santa during that period. In 1984, Ms. Lillard and Bob and Sue Lane purchased the store, but Ms. Lillard is presently the sole owner. Her office at Roy Wheeler Realty is in the same building. After having spent over 40 years in the grocery business, and moving around to different stores, Mrs. Burke said, “This is the last stop.” The Flint Hill Store’s winter hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. When the weather warms up, the hours will be extended. Editor’s note: This is the first in a series of stories on the general stores of Rappahannock County.

The JV won its eighth victory and remains undefeated. In the varsity contest the Panthers fell behind 17-15 in the first quarter, held their own in the second quarter to trail 30-28 at the half, and pulled ahead early in the second half, never relinquishing the lead again. Jason Settle scored 25 points to lead the Panthers. Willie Eastham led the rebounding with nine. The JV also fell behind in the first half but gained the lead in the second half to lead 34 to 26 at the end of the third period. The Strasburg JV struggled back and the score was tied at 43 with 10 seconds to go. Jason Baldwin sank the winning bucket giving the JV squad a 45 to 43 victory. Jeff Atkins had 22 points and 10 rebounds. Eric Smith also had 10 re bounds. Coach Luther Stanley said of the game, “In the first half we played bad ball, with no defense. In the second half everybody decided they wanted to play ball.” The JV also picked up a win last Tuesday at an away game at Page County. In that 69 to 61 victory the team played its best ball in the first half, Coach Stanley said. The team relaxed in the second half and Page narrowed the lead, he said. However, the Rappahannock squad picked up the defensive pace in the fourth quarter, and “that won the ball game for us,” he said. In that game Jeff Atkins scored 23 points, Eric Smith had 18, Jason Baldwin had 12 and Jon Diggs had 11. The volleyball teams split their two games last week losing to George Mason Monday night after picking up wins at Manassas Park last Thursday. Varsity coach Laura Conklin said her team came close to a victory Monday night. After losing thefirst/game 15 to 9, they played bettefln the second and only lost 16 to 14. They will host Clarke County Thursday.

First, the car stalled in heavy traffic. When you finally arrived at work, the boss was growl- _^ ing. You were already behind on a project when the school nurse phoned. Your child is ill. Please come right away!’ What else could possibly happen?? Bad question...” “Upon arriving home, dinner had burned and the pipes were frozen. How could anyone possibly be content after such a horrendous day? What is your magic combination?” Contentment is not perfection, but the ability to cope with imperfection. After all, we live in an imperfect world. As the adage states, “Life is not fair...but God is.” Visit your local church or synagogue this Sabbath. There you will find prayer and faith...the combination to contentment. It’s not magic at all. It’s God.
