Most of last week's meeting was spent going over proposed water bill rates to raise enough money to pa\ an upcoming FMHA loan. Mayor Stewart Willis said that the new loan was expected to raise annual loan payments by $6,000. He suggested raising the base rate from $10 to $16 a month, and charging 35 cents per 100 gallons from 3,000 to 10,000 gallons (up from 30 cents), and charging 50 cents per 100 gallons for over 10.000 gallons (un from 40 cents). Mayor Willis said that the proposed rate increase would produce $50,000 annually, and would include a reserve of S3,000 to $4,000 so that the water system would hopefully no longer need to borrow money front the tow n for any repairs. Former town treasurer Brad Fisher was present at the meeting and explained a lot about the water system. lie said that once leaks are found and repaired, so that every gallon pumped is actually billed, the town's costs will go down. He said that about 50 percent of the water pumped is not metered. Mr. Fisher also said that a lot of the water meters are old and the older the\ get the slower they are in metering the flow. He recommends they alt be checked. He also believes that a lot of water goes through meters and is not even registered. Mayor VViilis satd that the reservoir overflows two or three times a month and that water also is not metered. Mr. Fisher said that 50 gallons per minute is pumped during an overflow. Once the reservoir no longer overflows (a switch to prevent that might he installed), and pumped water is aciuallv billed for, the water system will save money on electricity when the pump is not being used. Mr. Fisher recommended $45,000 as the target budget, and a See Council, Page A-6 Public Hearing Brings Out Budget Cut Opponents By SHERRY JONES Capital News Service RICHMOND Hundreds of Virginians -bombarded Capitol Square Monday for a public hearing concerning Gov George Allen’s proposed S2.1 billion in budget cuts. More than 500 Virginians registered to speak, while hundreds more swarmed around the General Assembly building waving signs and chanting “No more cuts.” They talked about everything from higher education cuts to general services budget reductions. Robert G. Goldsmith, representing the Virginia Council Against Poverty, implored the House appropriations and Senate finance committees to carefully consider Gov. Allen's proposed cuts. Currently, he said, the state provides the core funding necessary to ascertain monetary support from outside sources. "It pays from front-1 ihe, low-cost, highvolume services that no other money will cover — serv ices that keep tens of thousands of Virginians off our commonwealth's welfare rolls,” Mr, Goldsmith said. There are needy Virginians, he said, who depend on the S2.1 million Gov. Allen wants to take away from community action groups. Judith R. Mason, executive director for Virginia's Council Against Poverty, agreed. "Community action,” she said, "is a vital part of the safety net for the more than 800,000 low-income Virginians who are less fortunate than you and I are.” Stressing the impact Gov. Allen's pro posed cuts would have on low-income Virginians, Ms. Mason said she hopes the General Assembly will find a way to restore funding to these groups. "The continuation of services to those in need is more important to all of us than a tax cut,” she said. During the public hearing, the croud listened to how the governor’s proposal would cut more than 50 percent of the funding for the arts in Virginia, They also heard about the negative impact on many Virginia localities that could come v\ ith the elimination of the business, professional and occupational licensing fakes. Monday’s public hearing echoed the partisan conflict in the Senate that caused Virginia's governor not to address a joint session of the General Assembly on opening day for the first time since 1 d20.

Hieh School Gets Channel 4 Weather Station The high school weather station, from top to bottom has an anenometer to measure wind speed, a wind vand, a convection asperated shelter (to measure temperature, pressure and relative humidity), a rain guage and the cable connector junction box. By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock New* Staff Writer High school students, particularly those in Beth Gall's earth science classes, are enjoying their new weather station. Bob Ryan, weatherman with WRC TV in Washington, D.C., arranged for the local school to be included among the 90 schools that are part of the 4-Winds network of weather stations. The station can call in on the school’s modem* and download information directly. The information is constantly being updated. Principal John foth installed the station itself, which consists of a pole with a a variety of measuring instruments attached. Technology teacher Ron Vickers, librarian Beth Scott, and science teacher Brion Patterson helped install the software. Most ot'the equipment was donated by WRC, The school system purchased an electronic display of the data which is located in the earth science room now. The school is planning to move it to the tropin case later, so anyone entering the school can see current data* 1 he weather station collects information on wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humiditv, barometric pressure and rainfall. There is also a dev ice that measures light, giv - ing an estimate of cloud cover, Mrs. Gall said. Government teacher Dennis Wingfield, who has for years kept a weather station at his home in Sperry vijle and supplied data to WRC, helped the high school get the official weather station, Mrs. Gall told the School Board. She said the students are already noticing the display. During last Wednesday ’s icy weather, many came in and watched as the air pressure dropped, but they could see that the temperature was rising, so they knew they were unlikely to get out of school early, she said. The computer hooked up to the station enables the students to see the same information that is on the display. " I his has already pul Rappahannock on the map," she said.Hath afternoon information from 4Winds stations in Virginia, Mary land and Washington. D C. is displayed. Rappahannock has been specifically mentioned three times, she said. “^he capabilities of the software are enormous,” she said. "One of our jobs is to figure out how to use it."

Jenkins's To Be Tried For Child Molestation By KELBY HARTSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Johnny JeoJcins’s taped confession to child molestation charges was admitted as evidence in Circuit Court in Warrenton last week, despite a defense motion to keep the statements be kept out. Jenkins, 26, of Washington, Va.. was indicted on three charges of aggravated sexual assault on a 6-yearold girl in February of 1992. A motion to suppress the evidence alleges that Jenkins’ confession to sheriffs officers was the result of a “coercive and overbearing interrogation.” According to the motion, he only made thexstatement because he had been in an interrogation room for more than three and a half hours. A transcript of the taped confession was filed as evidence for the Commonwealth, but the judge sealed it from public view. Assistant Commonwealth s Attorney Kevin Casey later said that in the transcript Jenkins "confessed to ever>' single element of the crimes.” win.

Jenkins testified in court that he confessed because “I was shaken up, scared. 1 didn’t know what was going on ... It was getting late. I wanted to go home.” He saia me statements ne maae m his confession were not true, and lie is innocent of the charges he faces. Jenkins’ attorney, Daniel Flynn, said, "His impression was, ‘I’m not going to be able to leave until I give them what they want.”' During questioning by Casey, Jenkins testified that the investigators never told him he must confess to be released. Jenkins said the investigators never said he was required to stay or continue answering questions. He also said he was never threatened by the officers. Jenkins made an allegation against one of the officers who was questioning him when he confessed. According to the motion to suppress the evidence, investigator Gar> Healy suggested leniency to Jenkins it he confessed to the sexual molestation charges, by telling Jenkins, " 1 he Commonwealth’s attorney is a guy. he’ll-understand ” Healy emphatically denied this allegation. Healy said when he and his colleague, investigator Joe Hughes, questioned Jenkins, "all we were looking for was the truth.’ ... Casey argued in court that Jenkins signed a form that waived his right to remain silent before confessing l*e said Healy did this even though he was not required to inform Jenkins of his rights because he was not under arrest. -1, Mealy contacted jemuns ai and asked him to come in and answer some questions, and Jenkins willingly came in for the questioning. Instead, Casey said Healy could have arrested Jenkins at his home or work. “He did more than what he was required to do,” Casey said ot Healy s handling of the situation. Flynn argued that the officers never told Jenkins he was allowed to leave at any time. “He may have been free to leave ... but that would not be the conclusion of the average American,” Flynn said. Judge Carleton Penn denied the motion to suppress the evidence He concluded that “the confession was the product of a rational mind. Jenkins is set to go to trial in March.

Technically, because the seller pays the commission to the selling agent, that agent has a responsibility to the seller. Although a great many buyers assume that the agent with whom they are working is their agent, he or she must, by law, w'ork on behalf of the seller. Fortunately, for everyone involved, the law concerning agency is changing throughout the country. In many state, laws promoting buyer agency have been passed. These laws allow a buyer to hire his own agent to work exclusively for him. The buyer is obligated to work with that agent and no one else. That agent is obligated to exclusively represent that buyer's best interest.

The score was tied at 12 points, at 13 and at 14 before the Panthers finally put the game and match away 16 to 14. “I’m very proud of them; they hung tough mentally,” Coach Laura Conklin said. The JV had a somewhat easier time of it. In the first game Clarke got an early 2 to 0 lead. Rapp tied the score, but Clarke again took the lead and led 8 to 3 before losing the serve. With Fran Overdorf serving the Panthers gained a 12 to 8 lead. Clarke scored one more point but Angie Atkins served for the final Rapp points and a 15 to 9 victory. In the second game Courtney Mauro carried the day taking the team from a 3 to 1 lead to a 9 to 1 lead before losing the serve. Clarke stormed back and was down only 12 to 10 before the Panthers added the final three points to take the game and match. “I’m real glad we won tonight,” Coach Liz Holiy said. “We’ve got the Shenandoah County schools next week.” She said she was happy that all her gir)s were again “healthy” and said she had seen a lot of improvement in their play, especially at the net. “They’re starting to play more aggressively,” she said. The boys’ basketball teams did not fare as well against Clarksr'County Friday night, but both pro^WLd some thrilling action. Behind at the ha+Tfthe JV ate away at the Clarke lead and tied the score at 48 with 1:36 left in the game. The game was again tied at 50 all with 16 seconds to go, but Clarke got the first basket and a foul call and the Panthers came up short, 53 to 50. It was only the second loss for the JV which lost a game to George Mason Tuesday. Of the Clarke game, Coach Luther Stanley said, “Both teams played well. We can’t be ashamed of the loss. What hurt us was we missed the front end of one and one foul shots. They played with a lot of heart and desire.” Jeff Atkins led the team in scoring with 24 points. Chris McLear had 11 and James Jenkins had seven rebounds and six points. I he varsity struggled in the early going and fell behind 26 to 20 in the first quarter. Three 3-point goals by Andre Fletcher late in the quarter kept the Panthers in the game. Things did not improve in the second quarter, and Clarke led at the half 42 to 31. The Clarke County squad got into foul trouble fairly early in the second half, and at the end of the third quarter the Panthers only trailed 55 to 53. Jason Settle tied the score at 60 Rappahannock News Staff Photo/Cmdy Mahan Courtney Mauro tips the ball over the net in the JV game. points with six minutes to go. The Rapp teamjTad a 67 to 64 lead with 4:21 left. With 1:06 left Clarke tiecf the score at 71 and then led 73 to 74. Coach Eugene Baltimore called two time outs in the last seconds trying to set up the final shot. Jason Settle’s attempt at a three-point goal failed as did his follow-up attempt to tie the score, and the Clarke Eagles, still undefeated, escaped with their 73 to 71 win., Coach Eugene Baltimore said in the George Mason game, earlier in the week, which the Panthers also lost, the team played very well for more than three quarters, but then with 3:30 left “things started to fall apart for us. We made careless mistakes and gave them wide open shots." Jason Settle was high scorer for the Rappahannock squad with 18 points. Willie Eastham “did a great job on the boards,” the coach said. He ffad eight rebounds. “In the Clarke game I didn’t know what to expect,” he said. He knew that Clarke was undefeated and had been “blowing people out” on the road. “After the first quarter I was comfortable. 1 felt more'confident when the kids kept coming back and didn't give up. We were down 11 at halftime, and made it a good ball game.” Jason Settle had 26 points. Andre Fletcher had 21. “Ifit wasn’t for Andre Fletcher in the first quarter, that game could have been blowout," he said. “Several players came up big. Ray Atkins got 13 points, and the press didn’t hurt us. Jason Brown, Ray Atkins and Andre Fletcher handled the press quite well.” Coach Baltimore wants everyone to know that Jeff Atkins, who has been leading the Scoring for the JV will be playing for the varsity now. “ He will be getting a lot of playing time,’’ he said. “You can’t leave a talent like that on the bench.” uttdt)4 DISTINCTIVE INDIES (I.( >THl\t; 203 Southgate Shopping Center Culpeper, VA 22701 (703)825-5182 GONE with the WIND r ah nemaining Fall and Winter CLOTHING 50-75% off Sale Starts Thursday, January 19th HOURS Mon-Fri 9:30-5 30 Sal 9 30 4.00 All Sales Final On Sale Merchandise_ OFF ALLVEGETABLE GARDEN SEED Sale ends February 28th, 1995 Rappahannock Farmers Co-op Sperryville, Virginia • 703-987-8555 Gourmet §g r.

This would have meant the assembly would not have acted on many of Gov. George Allen's proposals, and the electorate would, have had a chance to say clearly in November if the approach the governor is taking is what they wanted when they chose him in November 1993. Gov Allen and his supporters clearly believe the voters wanted him to cut •taxes, cut spending and put more criminals in prison for longer terms. Others, including many Democrats, are equally convinced the voters of Virginia did not want such a radical departure from the course the state has followed for many years, Do the voters want a tax cut that will amount, at most, to SI 1.50 per person in 1995 if it means eliminating Virginia Tech's extension offices in some localities, less money for public libraries, less money for the arts and mental health, and cuts to education at all levels, primary', secondary and university? Did the voters want parole ended if it meant debt for years in the future for prison construction and much higher operating costs for corrections? Did the voters want many of the state’s burdens to be pushed off onto the localities where they will necessarily be funded by real estate taxes? . Do the voters want their tax dollars to be used to lure businesses to Virginia? If those things were what the voters meant when they elected Gov. Allen, the> can make that clear by electing Republicans to the General Assembly in November. If that is not the direction they want the state to take, they can signal that by electing Democrats. Even if there is a 47-day session, the November election can provide a clear referendum on Gov. Allen’s plans. However, this can only work if both parties prov ide credible candidates for all seats in the House of Delegates and State Senate. BPOL Taxes Among Gov. George Allen’s proposals is the elimination over a five-year period of the Business and Professional Occupations License. In all of the state’s cities, many of its towns $nd about half its counties this tax is levied on businesses. The governor proposes to use funds from general revenues to make up the localities for monies lost by repealing the tax. As originally proposed those state funds would run out after five years. The Republican caucus has proposed that this contribution to localities that are forced to give up the tax be made permanent. The license part of this tax is fairly straightforward, and that is all that is levied in several towns. Every business pays to have a license to do business in the locality . The license fee can range from S10 to S50. However, many localities also tax the business’s gross receipts. It is this aspect that has come under fire, because the business pays w hether it is a profitable business or not. Rappahannock has chosen not to have a BPOL tax at all. In proposing to use general fund revenues to make up lost rev enues to localities which will be no longer collect the tax. Gov. Allen is, among other things, proposing to take money from Rappahannock County, which does not have the tax, and send it to Warrenton, which does. r Letters Bear Not Rare To the Editor: Why did you kill that cow? Why did you kill that chicken? Do you ask that question every time you sit down to eat a meal and one of these items are on your plate? It makes me wonder why anyone in Rappahannock County would ask the question, as so many have in the letters of the jaast few weeks. “Why did you kill that bear?” Need I answer that question? Maybe I should—to eat! And why string it up by the neck? Have you ever seen anyone skin a deer or cow while it lies on the ground? Before so many liberal city-slickers moved into Rappahannock County no one would have ever-asked that question. Bear are not rare or uncommon in the wild of Rappahannock County. They only seem so because they stay so well hidden. From time to time Rappahannock County has had bear removed because they are so over populated fm parts of the county and have been a nuisance destroying property. And if you’ve never seen one and wonder why, as a rule they don't come moseying into your yard to munch on grass. Bear are much more skittish and, don't close unless there is a shortage of food. My father is a hunter and has seen as many as 20 in one season. If vou'd shop for your meat in the woods instead of the grocery store, you might see a bear from time to time. C.S. OWENS Sperry ville Donors Thanked To the Editor: J would like to thank everyone who supported the fund for Shannon Schrader to have her wish to visit Disney World in Florida.

We can all feel good that we gave a little something so the Shannon's wish could come true. I would like to thank the Rappahannock News for the wonderful articles that helped to get the word out to the public. Thank you also to Project Rainbow for setting up Jthe tax deductible fund and to Jane Muilan for being a great support and a wealth of information when conducting a project such as this.

Neighbors Thanked To the Editor: How do we begin to thank a community for the overwhelming support and love vve have received since Shannon got ill? From the hour we learned of her tumor, we have been supported spiritually. emotionally and financially. We have been prayed for and prayed with and had Shannon's wish fulfilled, to go to Disney. We had a week in the Children’s Village, designed for terminally for terminally ill kids. She met Mickey. Minnie, Chip and Dale. Snow White and numerous clowns. All her life Shannon has been, a child who had touched every one she has ever met. Apparently she has touched quite a few she hasn’t met as well. 1 will always be proud to say that 1 live in Rappahannock County, knowing how truly caring this community can be. God Bless. PEGGY KELLY Amissville Rescuers Thanked To the Editor: I would like to express a heartfelt “Thank You” to all those who were involved Tuesday morning, Jan. 3 with rescuing my horse, Mike, from a cattle guard on Route 656 in Castleton. Although my old Mike didn’t make it through the ordeal 1 was comforted to know that his last dying moments were surrounded by ipompassion. All those who were there showed me that there is still hope for communities to pull together when disaster strikes, even to help those of us who are novice in our knowledge of how to deal with circumstances beyond our control. My special thanks to the Whortons, Andersons, Browns, Mr. Hawkins, Dr. White and several other gentlemen who came to Mike’s aid including’Mr. Hitt who thanked the Lord when they finally pulled the horse out. Mikey was able to die peacefully in the grass covered with the warm blankets that were brought to comfort him. I again thank you alf even if I did not get your names, for coming to a stranger’s aid. God knows who you are, and I pray 1 le will bless you for your kindness, generosity and sacrifice. EVELYN OYSTER Castleton Abortion Alternative To the Editor: We wish to supplement the letter to the editor written by Cathy Smith of Amissville (Jan. 4), “Alternatives To Abortion.” Our area is indeed blessed to have nearby centers available to help young women in crisis pregnancies find an alternative to abortion. We would like ot make readers aware of an additional resource available right here in Rappahannock County known as “Friends 2 Mom.” Friends 2 Mom was organized about one year ago and is fashioned after the Baptist Women’s Missionary Uhion’s program entitled the “Mary and Elizabeth Project.” Friends 2 Mom is a free service provided by women from Rappahannock County who are qualified to help pregnant and parenting teens in our community. The services offered are: “mentor or resource mothers” — women who will be friends and sources of childbirth and childrearing information for pregnant and parenting teens; a clothes closet offering maternity clothes, baby clothes up to size 2T, and limited baby equipment in good, clean and safe condition; and free childbirth education classes by a certified childbirth instructor. Any young person interested in attaining these services should call Diane at 987-8267 or Molly at 675-3813. Jan 22 is the 22nd anniversay of the Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortion in the United States. We want the people of this area to know and spread the word that there are concerned citizens willing to help young girls and women facing crisis pregnancies. There are alternatives to abortion. MARIE RIEDEL ; Washington . A PR II I IEDDI.ES TON ! Sperry ville ' A Modest Proposal To the Editor: Undoubtedly, Ms. Kilpatrick’s article on the costs of Special Education has caused the taxpayers of our community great gnashing.of< teeth and rending of garments.! Therefore, 1 have a Modest Proposal. Rather than using up valuable Public School space and funds for so few. why not take the abandoned A ileen Factory and use it as a storage facility for these children. To even further taxpayer savings, we could also locate the animal shelter and the new dumpsite on the premises as well, thereby, centralizing all of our public nuisances. Furthermore, the animals shelter and sanitary custodians could also monitor our new Special Ecuation facility enabling our teachers to work with larger numbers of our non-special education children. Who knows what other savings we could effect!!! Imagination seems to be our only limitation. MARY JANE CAPPEEEO Washington (Editor's Note: Ms, Cupel to is a special education teacher at RCES.) I hr i*> 'lea.r'y >/l 7 <rt>r kclioo/*><*i _ representau f tijil* 1 < Katzen Forsees Budget Squabbling By: DELEGATE JAY KATZF.N R-3Ut District By now, you’re well aware of the discourtesies shown by the majority party in our State Senate, which resulted in Governor Allen’s decision to issue the traditional State of the Commonwealth address from his office — to the people of Virginia rather than to a Joint Session of the General Assembly. Ideally, that acrimony is behind us, and we can proceed on his message, our budget requirements, and other important legislation before us. To be sure, the proposed budget amendments offer a challenge, and their consideration will represent a defining moment for our legislature. As my good colleague, Randy Forbes (R-78th District), said on the floor this past week, we would prefer not to divide along party lines, but if we must, let us be between those who favor big government which thinks it knows best, who trust that government to spend our money better than we can, and who support current and higher tax levels — as against those who believe, as do 1, in Mr. Jefferson’s dictum that that government is best which governs least, that We, the People, know best how to spend our own hard-earned income, and that by reducing taxes, we return power to all Virginians Yds, we have bills to pay"— to support the non-parole legislation overwhelmingly approved by both parties last year; for education, to settle with federal retirees unjustly taxed by previous administrations; and for programs necessary for our wellbeing, among them to assist Virginians unable (not unwilling, but unable ) to assist themselves. 1 kno w of your concern over several of the programs scheduled for cuts. That is w hy many of us are seeking restoration of funding for, among other programs, rural Extension and research. And that is why the Republican caucus agreed Jan. 1 1 that, “To avoid pressures for substitute taxation at the local level after the proposed repeal of the gross receipts tax...(we) support a permanent statutory program of state financial assistance to localities to replace the eliminated BPOL tax revenue." Please bear in mind that Virginia’s Stale Government has doubled its expenditures over the past ten years — a rate faster than that of the Federal spenders whom the voters rejected last November. Because of this, Virginia ranks in the upper third of all states in terms of income tax burden on individuals and families The personal exemption amount allowed in Virginia is the second worst in the nation. It was Albert Einstein who said that a problem could never be solved on the same level that produced it. Rather than leaving control over your eamings to those responsible for taxand-tax and spend-and-spend policies in Richmond, I support Governor Allen’s plan, which instead offers $2.1 billion in tax relief, phased in over five years, through his proposal to raise personal, dependent and aged and blind exemptions from $800 to $2,400. Specific floor votes this week: I; opposed the Virginia Strategic; Planning Act, which was defeated," 40-53. The bill would have imposed* more unacceptable unfunded mandates on local governments, and raised the specter of the state taking control of the local planning process.; I also opposed a bill on “lost earrings,” which failed to pass, 31-62 - That bill would have allowed an injured person who had never worked to offer any evidence that might help to make an estimate of that person’s lost future income or loss of earning; capacity. Please keep your thoughts cominglo me in Richmond The toll-free number is 1-800-899-0229. My direct line is 804-786-6801. Our address is: Room 715. General. Assembly Building, Richmond, Va. 23219.

Va. Extension Service Threatened by Cuts By JANET SHANK STILES Virginia F<tension l eadership Council One of our, favorite past-times is eating. Our future is in our youth. Now what could these two statements possibly have in common? If you agree with them, then you share in a need for Virginia Cooperative Extension. Opinion The future of this organization is in grave danger. The proposed Executive Budget for 1995-96 has cut the Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) and the Virgin!!"' Agricultural Experiment Station (VAES) by 30 percent of General Fund Appropriations. One out of four youth in our state belong to 4-H, a part of VCE, making this the largest youth organization in the state. Through the 4-H program, more than 118,000 youth and 8,800 adult volunteers participate in the wide variety of programs offered. I dare to say that former 4-Hers are not the ones that are crowding our jails. This program instills values, responsibility, citizenship and leadership, qualities that enable the 4-H members to grow into productive and useful parts of their communities. The Home Economics programs started with the Home Demonstration Clubs and has expanded to lpffering training and education ir| areas of nutrition, financial management and family life. Many of ihe programs offered by other service and social agencies have irseavthe material and training ofwCE. As the number of production agriculturalists in the state as well as the country decline, we have to justify our need for the research and assistance that VCE and the VAES provide. It is thanks to these organizations and the hard work of farmers today that we are able to produce enough food and fiber for all of our growing popu lation as well as part of the world. However, we must remember that VCE and VAES are the major sources of information for agriculture, and we can not do without their services. All six and a half million Virginians eat, and we need an abundant, high quality, safe, inexpensive supply of food. Agricultural production, processing and distribution employs one in six of our state’s workforce and generates one eighth of the gross state product. Since 1989, VCE and VAES have received many cutbacks and have trimmed any excess that there may have been. Many of the county agents were moved in an effort to keep the 107 county units functioning in light of these cuts. The total loss of funds from 1989 until this year was over S12 million, and 280 postions have been cut. Many of the positions that had people retire from will not be filled. This is indeed a very bleak picture if the funds are not totally restored to VCE and VAES. I fear that there will not be a 4-H program as we now know it. I worry that the county offices will be closed and there will only be regional Extension offices. 1 shudder to think of where the agricultural industry will be in the future without research to keep us on the .leading edge. What will happen to the environment without research and guidance? So, what do we do? We must take action. Call or write to your representatives. Tell them that we can not do without VCE and the VAES. Explain to them the importance of these two organizations to you and that any reductions will start to destroy what is left. Ninty percent of Extension’s funds go into salaries, we have eliminated the waste. I implore each and all who have ever benefited from the services of these ogranizations to take a few moments and stand up and b£ counted. Let our delegated know what VCE and the VAES mean to the citizens Who have elected them to represent us! Country Manor Uses Family Members As Models for Latest Summer Catalog It was a busy weekend at Country Manor, time to do the fashion photography for the summer catalog. At Phyllis and Jimmy Swindler's Country Manor, that is a family affair with daughters Bobette Swindler and Natalie Hathaway and grandaughters Sara and Emma Hathaway serving as models. Other models are Peggy Stephenson, who is otherwise in charge of catalog production, Kay Miller and Heather Young. For this catalog, which will be mailed in March, the Swindlers chose to use the store for the studio. John Forgit. catalog designer with Forgit and Wight Associates in New Hampshire, was down along with photographer Jim Douglass from California. Mr. Douglass was in Sperryville on assignment for Photogroup of Silver Spring, Md. He has been doing the fashion photography for the Country Manor catalog since before he moved to California. He brought along Janet Reeves, as a free lance stylist. On Monday, Peggy Stephenson and Emma Hathaway were modeling mother-daughter outfits. Mr. Douglass first shot an instant photograph to check to see it had the el"ements he wanted. Then he put his M.

Ms. Reeves ducked in and out straightening clothes and helping Emma achieve the pose the photographer wanted. Ms. Stephenson needed very little direction, and her warm relationship with Emma was obviously essentia! to getting Emma’s cooperation for endless posing. Mrs. Swindler said the catalog will launch a major promotion of the Sperryville store as an outlet store for the catalog. Over the years the catalog has changed, but it keeps many of the elements it Had when it was launched. It still contains line drawings b> Rex Slack of Washington, and Mrs. Swindler said it always will, but more and more of it is photographs. Fashion photographs with live models and photographs of fashions lying down. Much of the rest is color artwork by Mr. Slack. Mrs. Swindler said the summer catalog will be mailed to about one and a half million potential customers. As the business has grown fashions have become about half of the business, she said. The current spring catalog was shot in October at Mary Frances and “Billy” Fannon's farm. The Fannon's daughter Beth is married to the Swindler's son. Scenic views of the mountains in fall folliage appear to have the colors of spring. Mrs. Sw indler said she wants her customers to know that Country Manor is a family business.

He said he fell that some people are having trou-, ble paying their water bill now, and a higher bill would be a real burden. Ed Barton wondered if a rate change would be understated and would have to be raised again next year. He also said he still did not believe the town water is potable, “It was good drinking water five years ago; 1 buy drinking water now. I sure won’t drink it." Mr. Fisher explained that there is excess manganese in the well and that the new system is supposed to remove it. Mayor Willis hopes that the neu system will be turned on soon. Approval from the Health Department is required before that can happen. The public hearing for the water rates will continue at last month's meeting, and a proposed budget will be prepared. The budget will be required anyway when the town goes to closing on the FMHA loan, according to Town Attorney Frank Reynolds. He also said that the water rates have to be in place when the loan begins being paid. After much discussion from the audience, the council then voted to accept the loan package from FMHA, which includes a $75,000 loan and a 575,000 matching grant. Brad Fisher said that he felt a 4 1 2 percent loan was an outstanding rate that the town should take advantage of. In other business. Mayor Willis said that the library would like to use the Town Hall as the site for their July 4th book sale this year. Charlie Tompkins, head of the July 4th committee, said that he had met with Roger Roach of the Washington 'Volunteer Fire / Department. Mr. Roach indicated to him that the WVFD does not want to run July 4th activities any more but still wishes to sell food. Mr. Tompkins said he was approached bv members of the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC), saying that RAAC would like to help with July 4th for the primary benefit of the WVFD. RAAC also wants to showcase the local area. A resolution was passed by the council stating in part, “the Town Council of the Town of Washington, Virginia does hereby authorize RAAC to organize, facilitate and conduct the Fourth of July Celebration in the Town as a Town-sponsored event, and the town will continue to underwrite the costs of the fireworks display; further the authorization for RAAC to organize, facilitate, and conduct the Fourth of July Celebration is contingent upon RAAC "s responsibility to ensure that its activities in this regard are covered by adequate liability insurance in at least the amount of One Million Dollars, either as an ‘additional insured' under the Town's liability policy, or under a separate insurance policy obtained by RAAC in at least the same amount.” The WVFD will be the primary beneficiary of the July 4th celebration. Mr. Tompkins said he believed that RAAC will be committed to the July 4th celebration for at least two to three years. The chairpersons for RAAC are Beverly Atkins and Ellen Manson. Hunt Harris, President of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) spoke about the new Resource Cenler in town, which is located in the tiny building on Main St. which used to house Cabin Fever Books. He said the center serves for environmental and recreational education and hopes to have the center staffed bv volunteers seven days a week. Mr. Harris also thanked council member Ray Gooch for his work with recycling during the recent years. Hard Workers ffwraftu** "Hv - - -.-'’v... .

Allen suggested tripling the personal and dependent income tax exemptions from $800 to $2,400. In addition, the governor unexpectedly said he will introduce legislation to hold parents of fathers younger than 18 financially responsible for child support for their grandchild if the minor father is unable to meet his obligation. / “We must recogrii/i that parents have the right and responsibility to guide the development of their children,” he said. in another surprise move, Gov: Allen said he wants to return control of classrooms to the teachers and will propose legislation to accomplish this objective. “I think it’s high time to empower our dedicated and conscientious •teachers and to help them take charge of their classrooms without fear of reprisal or lawsuits,” he said. After Gov. Allen’s address, Delegate Jay Kaizen, R-31 st District, said he enjoyed Gov. Allen's speech although the day as a whole was a disappointment. Del. Katzen blamed the Democrats in the Senate for causing the problem. “It was clearly on the majority side of the Senate," he said, adding that no matter what resolution the House passed, Gob. Allen “clearly was not invited.” Sen. Kevin G. Miller, RHarrisonburg, agreed, saying he approved of the governor’s proposals. “I think the governor really benefited personally at the expense of the Seriate," he said, suggesting that Gov. Allen preferred to speak one-on-one with Virginians anyway. Later in the week, the Senate resolved its differences by passing a resolution setting forth rules and procedures for the session, which provides for any legislator to file a bill after the Jan. 23 deadline as long as that legislator has two-thirds of those in the respective house agreeing to it. In the past, this privilege waS reserved for the governor. Computer Class Offered For Farmers The Farm Management Computer Classroom on Wheels is coming to Rappahannock County on Feb. 27 and 28.

Billed as an afternoon of old-fashioned gospel singing, the program included offerings by the Bethel Baptist Church Choir of Amissville, the Clarence E. Dearing Gospel Chorus of the First Baptist Church of Washington, the Promise I,and Baptist Church Senior Choir and Youth Chorus from Gid Brown Hollow, the Beulah Baptist Church Choir of Eggbornsville, David Clanagan and the Free Spirits, the Glory Road Singers of Winchester.

Nanette Butler gave a summary' of Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and said he had not wanted to be remembered for honors awarded to him but because he “would leave a committed life behind.” The program ended with everyone singing “We Shall Overcome” and a benediction by Dr. Wendell R. Grant.

Purcell's Fantasies Offered On Saturday, Feb. 4, the third concert in the current Smithsonian at Little Washington series takes place at The Theatre at Washington. The Smithsonian Chamber Players perform The Fantasies for Viols, by Henry Purcell, in a concert marking the 300th anniversary of the death'of Purcell, one of England’s greatest composers. A popular feature of the Smithsonian at Little Washington series is the pre-concert talks given by the performers, and the upcoming concert is no exception. Kenneth Slowik, artistic director and a founding member of the Smithsonian Chamber Players, will give a talk on “Henry Purcell and Restoration England.” The talk begins at 3 p.m. The concert begins at 3:30p.m. Stowik has made more than three dozen recordings, many of them prizewinners. His critically praised liner notes accompany over half of these releases. Of the music to be played at the Theatre on Feb. 4, he writes: “The Purcell fantasia program contains some of the most inventive music of the 17th century. Henry Purcell (1659-1695) rivalled Mozart, whose similarly brief life, a century later, produced so much marvelous music. Because many of the instruments for which Purcell wrote have since fallen into disus*\ his music is not now well known. (All this will change, we hope during the 1995 tricentennial year’s worldwide celebrations.) The 1680 Fantasias are scored for quartet of viols. They are intensely beautiful miniatures.” The 20th century Hnglish composer, Peter Warlock, has noted that "Many who hear or read these Fantasias of Purcell for. the first time will no doubt find them quite modem ..Purcell is a'Jarrus-like figure in the history of music, looking backward into the past and forward into the furture.” The concert at The Theatre on Saturday , Feb. 4 affords a rare opportunity to hear the violas de gamba together and an unusual treat from the English baroque. The final concert in the 1994-95 Smithsonian at Little Washington series will be given by the Smithson String Quartet on March 18. Reserved tickets for each concert are SI3.50, and for both concerts together $25. Tickets purchased at the door are SI5 for each concert. Children are half price.

Store Kept In Family Through Three Generations Burke’s Grocery on U.S. 522 in Woodville still retains many products and advertisements from the early of this century. The store first opened in the 1920’s and was owned by George Johnson. Lizzie Burke purchased the business in 1945 and ran it until she died in 1975. Lizzie’s daughter Myrtle Falls, along with her husband Jimmv. were storekeepers until 1982 The next proprietor was Wilson Burke, Lizzie's nephew, from 19821986. Since that time, Mabel Burke has owned the store along with her son Richie Burke. Both are natives of Rappahannock County. He works during the week as the Rappahannock County building official, so he mostly helps out on weekends. The store has quite a collection of old items, and many are displayed on the top shelves. On one shelf is a selection of old health remedies and other items: Ramon’s Tabs (an aspirin with caffeine) for 10 cents, saltpetre, lump copperas (a green crystalline compound used for making dyes and ink), mutton suet salve, CoVac for colds and hay fever, Palmolive brushless shaving cream, castor oil. LeGear hog prescription “for all swine”, and even Texas cry stals for making your own mineral water Just inside the front door is a huge framed Coca-Cola poster. The walls of the store are lined with old wooden shelves, and the wooden counter is the original. Kerosene lamps, woodstove pipes, fishing supplies, rubber boots, horehound drops, and used romance novels, priced at four for Si, are some of the more unusual items for sale. Representing the very modern world in this store also is a Virginia lotto machine. Burke’s Grocery is one of two stores in the county which sells both lotto and scratch tickets.

This year’s "Open Theatre” promises to be equally lively and varied. Cliff Dennis won S5000 last week with a Pick 4 ticket, and he was the second $5000 winner at Burke’s. Burke's also carries a selection of fresh meats, and has done so since 1980. Beef, hamburger, pork chops, country ham, boiled ham, steaks, chicken, stew meat, and cheeses are available from the meat section. Chickens can be purchased whole or cut up. Sandwiches are also for sale. One gas pump sits out in front of the store, and kerosene is also for sale. Mrs. Burke said that the store used to be a Trail ways bus stop in the 1950's.
