By CINDY MAHAN and \ SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahaanack News Staff Writers > It has been more than a month since volunteers spent a I day working at the old Washington School preparing it to be used as a senior center and site for the nutrition program operated by the Community Services Board, but the seniors . ' have yet to be allowed to move into their center. They have been using the First Baptist Church on the Fodders tack Road as a temporary site waiting for the move. This week the church needed the building in order to get ready for a Revival, and the nutrition site has had to go on the road. According to site supervisor Ruth Kiger, the seniors went to the Warrenton senior nutrition site on Monday and were to go to Culpeper Wednesday where they would join the Culpeper group for a Halloween party. They were scheduled to return to Culpeper Friday, and Mrs. Kiger does not know whether they will be returning to the First Baptist Church next week or whether they will be allowed to make use of their new site. Ethel Bailey, a senior who- has attended the nutrition site for many years as a congregate and as a volunteer, said "I feel like they are giving us a bum rap." She said that they , had thought they were ready to move in, and then were required to have more done in order to have the building See Seniors, Page A*6 Long Election Night Likely There are 3,957 Rappahannock citizens eligible to vote in Tuesday's election, up 9 percept from-the 3,621 eligible % ■to vote in 1992, the last .Presidential election, but not up “ 1 much from the 3,833 eligible to vote in November 1995, . when a hotly contested election for sheriff swelled the voter rolls.

Frank R. Wolf and his Democratic challenger Bob Weinberg from Slate Mills pits an eightterm incumbent with many years seniority against a man with a long career as a party activist but no legislative experience. Mr. Weinberg spent the summer going to almost every event in the 10th' District he could find to meet voters and explain why he should be elected against long odds. He attended county fairs, craft shows, and harvest festivals. He reported he found citizens very receptive to his message. Once fall arrived Mr. Weinberg started attending all the candidates forums he could, but he found Rep. Wolf was avoiding appearing with him. Several times Mr. Weinberg had no opponent for debate. Other times Rep. Wolf sent someone from his office, temporarily assigned to the campaign instead of appearing himself. Mr. Weinberg has attempted to make an issue of this, claiming voters have been denied the opportunity to see their Congressman defend his record in actual debate. Rep. Wolf, in the meantime was attending sessions of Congress, serving as chairman of a subcommittee responsible for transportation and getting appropriations approved for roads. He hosted forums on teenage drug use and won approval for a Congressional commission to study the effects of gambling. Rep. Wolf is very concerned that as states and localities become more and more dependent on funds from gambling, they are ignoring costs in other businesses being hurt, increased crime and the social costs of encouraging compulsive gamblers. A major battle with gambling interests over the commission has been its subpoena powers. Rep. Wolf admits the commission's powers were somewhat limited in the final form approved by Congress but feels it can Frank R. Wolf Party: Republican Home: Fairfax Career: member of the House of Representatives from 10th District, 1981-1996, former attorney still produce a valid report. Another accomplishment for Rep. Wolf in the past Congressional session was passage of a bill to create a national monument linking several battlefields in the Shenandoah Valley. Originally Rep. Wolf had proposed the battlefields in the Shenandoah Valley be included in a new National Park, that would be a partnership between the Federal government and private property owners. , He has basically ignored the campaign against him and the late-running Congressional session prevented him from appearing in Rappahannock County at a scheduled rally. Mr. Weinberg has tried to link Rep. Wolf with House Speaker Newt Gingrich. His basic charge isrihat Rep. Wolf voted to support a Republican budget plan that would have sharply curtailed spending on education, the environment and Medicare and included tax cuts "for the rich." It was an impasse over that budget plan that caused the government to be shut down three times in 1995. Although Rep. Wolf tried to avoid the government shutdowns and worked to end them once they began, Mr. Weinberg says he bears responsibility because he voted with the Republican leadership on the budget plan. Mr. Weinberg also attacks Rep. Wolf for current Republican proposals to eliminate federal departments .and cut government jobs, claiming those jobs are needed for the future of the nation and for the economic health of the 10th District. He notes that although government employees got back pay once they returned to work, many companies which contract with the goverrtment never recovered from the effects of the government shutdown and indeed some were forced to go out of business. Following the 1990 Census lines for the 10th District were expanded to include much of the territory that had formerly been in the 7th District including Rappahannock County. The Democratic leadership in the state's General Assembly was trying to carve out a new 11th District in which Democrats could be competitive, and so many heavily Republican areas were included in the newly drawn 10th District. The Democrats in the assembly assumed the 10th District would remain in Republican hands. In 1992 Rep. Wolf easily carried the new district against Democratic Party challenger Ray Vickery, and the Democrats did not even field a candidate against him in 1994. Mr. Weinberg has faced an uphill battle Bob Weinberg Party: Democratic Home: Slate Mills Career: retired attorney, former 10th District Democratic Party Chairman throughout the campaign. He is counting on the "coattail effect" of President Clinton's new popularity in Virginia to carry him to Congress. Also running in the 10th District is' Libertarian Party candidate Gary Reams, who, following his party's lead, advocates far more drastic cuts in taxes and Federal Government programs than anything envisioned by the Republicans, but also advocates expanding civil liberties by legalizing drugs and ending all forms of censorship. Mr. Reams lives in Manassas and is a quality director the the Public Networks , Group of NEC.

Other Parties on Ballot By SHARON KILPATRICK Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Voters who are dissatisfied with making a choice between President Bill Clinton and former Sen. Bob Dole have plenty of other choices. Besides the Democratic and Republican parties, four other parties have qualified for the presidential ballot in Virginia. Leading the list is the Virginia Reform Party with presidential candidate H. Ross Perot and vice presidential candidate Pat Choate. Also on the ballot is the Virginia Taxpayers Party with Howard Phillips as the candidate for president and Albion Knight Jr. as the candidate for vice president. The Natural Law Party has also qualified with John Hagelin as. the presidential candidate and Mike Tompkins for vice president, and the Libertarian Party with Harry Browne as the candidate fdr president and Jo Jorgenson for .vice president has also qualified for the ballot. Under the names of these candidates are a list of electors pledged to support them in the Electoral College if they carry Virginia. It is because voters are actually selecting electors that write-in votes are not allowed in presidential elections in Virginia. Parties which are not on the ballot have not qualified a list of electors. Other states do allow write-in votes for president and vice president, apparently under the assumption that since write-in candidates are not likely to win, it hardly matters that they have not qualified a list of electors. County librarian David Shaffer has collected the party platforms of all these parties and the Green Party, which did not qualify for the ballot in Virginia, into a loose leaf binder. Most of this information was downloaded from the Internet. The printout of party platforms is available at the public library for anyone who wishes to read it. The Democratic and Republican party platforms are also included in the binder. The Libertarian Party has the longest platform. It calls for drastically curtailing government, reducing taxes and eliminating laws that govern private behavior. For example the Libertarian platform calls for repeal of laws restricting the use of drugs, laws against private consensual acts of sex (such as prostitution and homosexuality), restrictions on the right to bear arms and laws regulating abortion. It also opposes the use of tax funds for abortion and almost everything else. The Libertarian Party supports the eventual repeal of all taxation and as an interim measure calls for dropping all changes against tax evaders. "No tax can ever be fair, simple, or neutral to the free market," according to the party platform. The Reform Party has the shortest platform, only 10 pages. It calls for high ethical standards for Congress and the White House, including retirement and health care plans no more generous than those of an average American citizen, and no more trips and junkets paid for by special interests. The Reform Party platform also calls for a balanced budget amendment and campaign reform. It says the election should last no more than four months. Voting for President should be direct, without the electoral college, and elections should be held on weekends. It says there should be no exit polls announced until after polls close in Hawaii, and candidates for Congress should be required to raise all the funds for their campaigns from within their districts. It calls for creating a new tax system, unspecified, and limiting terms of members of the House and Senate. It would bar lobbying for foreign governments by former members of Congress forever and would limit other lobbying. The U.S. Taxpayers Party, which includes the Virginia Taxpayers Party, calls for a return to a "republic governed by Constitutional law rooted in Biblical law." It states the Roe v. Wade Supreme ^CourfcfeciSion on alxirtion is "illegitimate, contrary to the law of the nation's charter and constitution. It must be resisted by all civil government officials, federal state and local, and by all branches of government...." The U.S. Taxpayers Party platform calls for repealing the 17th Amendment to the constitution so U.S. Senators would be selected by state legislatures rather than by the people in elections. The party favors a moratorium on immigration, and repealing all taxes except tariffs. The cost of government beyond that covered by tariffs would be assigned to the states in a "state rate," based on the state's share of the total population. The Natural Law Party also calls for scaling back taxes with a low flat tax rate, but it says that much savings can be realized through health care that emphasizes prevention, and particularly through transcendental meditation. The party platform says reduced taxation would lead to increased economic activity and the results should be shared equally giving more to workers in terms of higher pay and reduced working hours. The party also claims to have "proven" educational programs to boost the "national intelligence and creativity."

Woman Sent to Jail In Petit Larceny Case By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock News Staff Writer Though she and her attorney pleaded with the judge to not send her to jail, Yvette Maria Burke, 31, of Boston, was sentenced to 12 months in jail, with nine months suspended and three months to serve, for a petit larceny charge. In a plea agreement, the petit larceny charge had been amended down from a grand larceny charge. Following the sentencing, her attorney, Brandon Gladstone, asked the judge if his client could begin her sentence later, because she did not want to be in jail for the holidays. Judge. W. Shore Robertson denied Mr. Gladstone's motion, saying that Ms. Burke will be in jail over Thanksgiving but will be out in time to do her Christmas shopping. Ms. Burke was also sentenced to four years in the Department of Corrections for possession of a firearm after having been convicted of a felony, which is in itself a felony. In line with the plea agreement with the Commonwealth, that sentence was suspended in entirety. Commonwealth's Attorney Peter Luke had asked the judge to sentence Ms. Burke to the three months. He said, "This is not a woman who is before the judicial system for the first time." Mr. Luke added that Ms. Burke had previously been convicted of assault and battery and brandishing in Rappahannock County and had a prior firearm conviction in Culpeper.. The assault and battery and brandishing charges were all part of the same incident which brought her to Circuit Court on charges of grand larceny and possession of a firearm after having been convicted of a felony. "She has a lengthy record of criminal.violations and has never had to serve any time." Mr. Gladstone argued that his client had only one felony conviction, for a bad check. Ms. Burke will also be on two years' supervised probation upon her release from jail. Judge Robertson told her that as people move through the criminal justice system with more convictions, the harsher they are dealt with.

Mrs. Leake said there seems to be a lot of interest in this election judging from the large number of people who have yoted absentee so far. Three of the county's precincts are over the 750 limit that used to require voting machines, but legislation passed during the last General Assembly session exempts Rappahannock from that requirement, and the county will continue to have only paper ballots. There are 790 voters registered in Amissville, 789 in Scrabble and 782 in Washington. Noting that there are four separate ballots to be counted and the one containing constitutional amendments will have to be counted five times’ Mrs. Leake said she expects the elec-i tion officials to have a long night.' She, however, will be able to leave her office at 7 p.m. when the polls close, leaving Election Board member Sheilah Sweet to hold down the office until all the votes have been counted and the black bags containing the ballots are turned in, probably well after midnight. Mrs. Leake said using new E-911» addresses for voters has meant that, many voters will be voting at new pol-, ing places for the first time. She was; able to use a computer program containing the county's new addresses that tells her, once the address is. entered, where the Voter should be voting. All those voters, and everyone, else, has been notified by having vot-, ing cards mailed to them, but Mrs.; Leake is afraid some may not havenoticed that their poling place has. been changed.

Restoring Cemetery Is Golden Project By CINDY MAHAN Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer Dawn Havstad has chosen a major project to complete to earn her Girl Scout Gold Award. She is cleaning up a family cemetery on the Havstad property in Old Hollow. She and her mom, Sally Havstad, came up with the idea last fall. So far. Dawn has spent over 30 hours clearing away 30 years’ worth of brush and overgrowth. Part of the project includes getting other people involved in helping her with the clean-up. She has had lots of help from some of her Girl Scout friends, including Kylene Wolfe and Sarah Gentry. Neighbors Celine and Eino Siira have also helped, using their chainsaw to cut up some fallen trees in the cemetery. Her family has also helped, though Dawn has performed the majority of the hard work herself. A lot of work was accomplished last spring and in the early summer, but the appearance of many snakes hindered the clean-up efforts throughout the rest of the summer. The first two Saturdays in November are the first days which have been set as Qlean-up days this fall. The 10 or so headstones in the cemetery all date from the late 1800s, except for the' headstone of Dawn's grandfather, who died in 1970. All the others are from the George Taylor family. Most are readable, but one is not and Dawn hopes to be able to decipher the name and dates on it by doing a rubbing of it. The headstones will all be cleaned; some are broken and will be repaired by Dawn, using braces and cement to put them back together. Cows have roamed around the cemetery for many years, knocking down and breaking the headstones. Where exactly in the cemetery most of the headstones belong is a mystery, but Dawn plans to place them in neat rows once they are repaired. Some of the headstones were broken off at the base, and Dawn hopes to match up the top part with those. That will allow her to mow the grass in the cemetery and keep it in good conditioh. . She will also be expanding the size of the cemetery to double its size, to allow it be used as the Havstad cemetery also. Once it is all cleared out and the headstones are in place, she plans to build a split rail fence around it, partly to keep out the cows. Dawn learned some about the Taylor family from the Historical Society, but mostly she has been providing the society with information about them from the headstones. She said that people from the society came out and took photographs of the cemetery for their files. She has also been working with Tom Taylor's daughter. The Taylor family lives in Old Hollow and is related to the Taylor family in the cemetery. The daughter is working on a Taylor family tree. Dawn imagines that she will have spent close to 100 hours on the project once it is completed in the spring. Before this winter, she will be concentrating on getting the rest of the cemetery cleared. Once the ground turns hard from the cold, she will not be able to put in the fence until it softens up in the spring. Now a senior at RCHS, Dawn has been a Girl Scout since the third grade. To apply for the Gold Award, she was required to write a paper discussing how her project would benefit the community. She is required to keep a log of her hours and must write a final report on the project.

A press release from the National Park Service said that the body was found approximately 40 yards off of White Oak Canyon Trail, about 3 1/2 miles down the trail from the Skyline Drive. An autopsy will be performed and positive identification made by the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Fairfax. However, National Park Service investigators believe the body is that of James S. Schneider. Found at the scene were Mr. Schneider's personal identification and other personal belongings. Although still under investigation, preliminary findings suggest that the cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A handgun belonging to Mr. Schneider and a hand-written suicide note were found with the body. The body was found by a park visitor from Maryland in an area that was rocks and had heavy undergrowth, said Lyn Rothgeb of the National Park Service. Searchers and dog teams combed the area September 7 through IS; the area was also searched by helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft. The search was then suspended when no clues were found. One of the people who had worked on the search for Mr. Schneider in September told Ms. Rothgeb that they had searched very close to the area where Mr. Schneider's •body was eventually discovered.

There have been several popular elections decided by less than a single vote per precinct, and several events in history which turned on a single vote. • In 1645, one vote gave Oliver Cromwell control of England. • In 1649, one vote caused Charles I of England to be executed. • In 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German. • In 1845, a switch of one vote in the U.S. Senate would have kept Texas from statehood. • In 1868, one Senate vote kept President Andrew Johnson from being convicted and removed from office following House passage of a bill of impeachment. • In 1877, Rutherford B. Hayes was elected President by a single electoral vote over Samuel J. Tilden. Electors were not able to decide the election in their first meeting soon after the 1876 election. • In 1923; one vote gave Adolph Hitler leadership of the Nazi Party. • In 1941, one vote saved Selective Service —just weeks before Pearl Harbor was attacked. One vote can make a difference. Exercise your right to vote Tuesday. Paul Nichols . The community paid a well deserved tribute to Paul Nichols last week. Mr. Nichols provided valuable service to Rappahannock County for many years, as a School Board member, member of the Lions' Club, active member of Trinity Episcopal Church, and Boy Scout leader. *His ability to relate to children, particularly young boys, was his greatest attribute. Other than his own four fine grown children, his major legacy is the 40 Eagle Scouts who came out of Boy Scout Troop 36 under his leadership. Becoming an Eagle Scout is a multi-year project for a youhg teenager. There are many things that distract male teens from pursuing such a goal. Mr. Nichols wanted them to achieve this rank for their own sense of accomplishment. But many also persevered because they admired him and did not want to disappoint him. Because of Paul Nichols’s leadership many Rappahannock boys "took the road less traveled by. And that has made all the difference." Poor Use Of Resources To the Editor: The Friends of the Rappahannock Library has agreed to pay $20,000 to pave the driveway of the library. In my opinion that is an extremely poor use of resources. For $20,000 we could purchase 1,200 new books for the library. The cost of repairing the blacktop will not be significantly less than maintaining the gravel. People complain about the ruts. The irony is that as soon as it is paved, people will complain about the speed at which people drive, and will have to install a speed bump which will bring us right back to the situation we have now. HALLEE MORGAN Flint Hill Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Sharon Kilpatrick RCHS alumni challenged students in touch football during Homecoming Saturday. 1 Dole's Plan More Fair To the Editor: In response to last week's letter by Lee Bird on President Clinton's tax increase he says made"...the tax system fairer." I totally disagree. Check the following plan by Bob Dole, and see if you don't agree it is much fairer for all Americans and one which would really spur growth and investment: • Reducing personal income tax rates by 15 percent over three years. Tax bills will be chopped by about one-seventh. If you're paying $7,000 now, you'll pay $6,000., • Providing, for most families, a $500 tax credit for every child 18 years old or younger. A tax credit — as opposed to a deduction or an exemption — comes directly off your tax bill. You calculate what you owe IRS, then subtract $500 per child. The savings can be enormous. Above are only two pieces of the plan. Mr. Dole also would allow a $500 per child deduction for contributions to an education investment account (similar to an IRA), expansion of IRAs themselves, and a 50 percent cut in the capital gains rates.

Finally, we would like to thank Miss Cindy Cumins for her encouragement and dedication.to all of us in the journalism class. JENNY BOWEN For the staff of the Rapport Vote for Mark To the Editor: Rappahannock County has been progressive and forward looking in elections. Rappahannock County gave Sue Scheer, the Democratic candidate, a majority in the last election for the General Assembly, recognizing the importance of issues like protecting our God-given natural beauty and the right of individuals to control their own lives, not be subject to the rigid views of some. For those reasons and others Rappahannock County, voters should support Mark Warner for United States Senator. The economic future of this Commonwealth lies not in protecting an obsolete defense industry while increasing the federal deficit. It lies in educating Virginia's children to flourish in the coming information age in new, developing technology industries, so Virginia and its sons and daughters can compete and win nationally and globally. This Mark Warner understands and advocates. Vote for Mark on November 5. WILLIAM A. DOBROVIR Sperryville Which Dole? To the Editor: Last week Walter Longyear had a lot to say about Bill Clinton. I went through his letter and found that if you substitute "Bob Dole" for "Bill Clinton", and swap "Republican" for "Democrat" (and vice versa) you can say exactly the same things about Bob Dole. Here are some excerpts from Walter's letter. I have changed nothing except the names and parties. "Will you get Bob Dole the New Republican...the Old Republican...or the new, moderate Democrat Bob Dole?" "Maybe you want Bob Dole the tax cutter, or Bob Dole the tax increaser. You can have either one or both." "...No matter which Bob Dole you like, there's a Bob Dole just right for you. As long as you like inconsistency as a quality in your president." You get the idea. Because the Republicans have nothing positive to See Letters, Page A-5 Taxes and Control: the Liberal Agenda To the Editor: In your editorial, Oct. 23, you state, "Senator Dole is right, most families require two workers. But it is low < wages, not high taxes." No, I believe as Senator Dole does, it is taxes that are enslaving our people financially. Let's look, for example, at the taxes on the privilege to own and drive an automobile, a necessity. We pay sales tax when the vehicle is purchased. Tires, fuel, repair parts are all taxed and, oh, how the fuel is taxed. That's not all: We pay property tax on the vehicle along with the county tag tax. More yet: How about the salaries of the personnel to levy and collect the tax, issue the decals, and the law enforcement officers to enforce the law? Taxes on taxes on taxes! We pay more taxes on a loaf of bread than we pay for the wheat that goes into making the loaf of bread. Every year or so, I have opportunity to visit the Amish community in Lancaster, Pa., some of the most wonderful people on the face of the earth. Now, if Mrs. Clinton wants to see how a family should be raised and how a community should be run she should take a look at the Amish model — not some third-world model. The Amish community has structure and real values. While she is there, she can check out the crime rate, drug problem, welfare rolls and divorce rates. Her research won't take very long. The Amish are a God-loving people that take responsibility for their families, children and community. They finance their own schools, care for their own families and keep the cleanest of communities. They ask very little — if anything— from the government, and sadly they are being driven from their land due to the outrageous taxes. Many Pennsylvania and Ohio Amish families have moved west in the past several years to escape the tax burden, which you say is not the problem. History proves that taxes are the prpblem, though. If we look back to the 40s, the 50s and early 60s, we see that a family (yes, even in Rappahannock) could work and save, purchase and pay for a home, farm or business, and even give their children a college education. You know what the big difference is between then and now? Taxes! The country was doing very well until President Johnson and the liberal Democrats came along with their Great Society and social programs. One of their first acts was to kick God out of the public schools. And they told us that government was the answer to all our problems. And how do you pay for big government? Big taxes! Yet, these programs have failed miserably and cost U.S. taxpayers trillions of dollars. The government has picked our pockets while causing massive moral decline in- the country. Check out, since 1964, the increases in crime, drug use, divorce, children bom out of wedlock and people trapped in welfare and public assistance programs. The welfare system never promoted independence, but dependence, on the government. Outside government influence and control, however, we see great success stories — and not just in the Amish community. Consider, for example, the work of Bishop Luke Edwards of the Christ Temple Church in Merdian, Mass., whose story I heard on WPRZ radio (1250 AM) on Oct. 23, during the Larry Burkett "Money Matters" program. The story starts during the early days of food stamps. Bishop Edwards' church had 200 members — 96 percent of them on welfare. To say the least, the bishop was not pleased with the situation. Bishop Edwards says they began reform with prayer and made solid plans for change. It was hard work, but every member was obedient to the call. The bishop first obtained a dealer's license. He went out and purchased food, wholesale, which was sold to members and others, using their food stamps at firlst. With the profits, which they invested, and by the grace of God, the church eventually came to own 4,000 acres of land, which they farm. Additionally they have two cattle feed lots, two processing plants, a 400-head sow operation, three grocery stores, one motel and a day-care service in the church — all run without government funding. Today in their church, not a single member is one welfare! This is an incredible success story. Truly the American dream is possible if you get the government out . and let the American people pursue their goals. No, you don't see this kind of story in the liberal news media. I understand The Wall Street Journal carried the story, though, a paper that gives a broader view of the liberal agenda and what it's all about: power, control, regulations and taxes. The power to enslave our people, to regulate our freedoms and control the information flow to the public and our children. I have a number of questions I'd like to ask President Clinton. Why, Mr. President, do you sent your child to a private school and are not willing to support the voucher system that would allow all children the same choice and opportunity? If the Department of Education is doing such a great job of guiding public education, one would think you would want your child to share in this great opportunity. The truth is: private and home schooled children excel, when compared by SAT scores. These programs are directed by parents, not the federal government. The kids in the public schools are not less intelligent — it is the system that stifles them. I believe, from all I hear, that the Rappahannock County School system is one of the best in the country, with a lot of great personnel. However, I am sure that at times they feel strapped by government regulations and mandates, a real disappointment for me was when the Rappahannock County School Board voted to accept Goals 2000, opening the door for more government control. Thank God for Governor Allen's veto. From this federal program it was estimated that Rappahannock would receive between $4,000 to $8,000. In the 1996 school budget, only 3.7 percent of the funding comes from the federal government. In other words, the federal government wants to give communities some pocket change then tell them how to educate their children. Goals 2000 would have widened the crack in the door to total government control of public education. Again, where do federal funds come from? Liberal Democrats would have you think it comes from "pie in the sky” when, in fact, your paycheck stub will reveal the real source. In the same spirit and strength President Reagan had when he challenged the communists to set their people free, Rappahannock citizens ought to stand up and free our schools from all federal government control. If federal taxes are cut by the amount Senator Dole suggest, we will have enough of our own money to make up the current 3.7 percent the federal government metes out to our schools, with money left over in our own pockets to pay bills, invest, whatever. Mr. President, why did you veto the partial-birth abortion ban — a procedure so barbaric that 70 percent of the American people were in favor of the ban? Members of Congress are against partial birth abortions, too — the House of Representatives voted to override your veto, and the Senate came very close to the 2/3 majority needed to tell you "No!" Citizens should check out this procedure — it is unbelieveable that a civilized society would tolerate this act. Mr. President, how do you explain that we now have the highest consumer debt ever in history while, at the time, you tell us how great we aft doing? When you took office the economy was on the upswing, growing m the 5 percent range. Today it is 215 percent. In the production livestock industry, which involves many Rappahannock farmers, we have the highest production costs in history, and we are selling cattle for one-half or less than we did four years ago when you took office. I Why, Mr. President, Were FBI files pulled on private U.S. citizens? Why were files removed from Vince Foster's office within hours of hii untimely death? As we approach November 5$ probably the most important election in our life times, we have a president seeking another term who has broken promise after promise to the American people. He has withheld information! surrounding himself with dozens of scandals, appointed drug users and broken faith with his own wife. The! old saying, "We are known by thej company we keep" sure enough applies here. I ask fellow citizens: Haven't we} had enough? Is this the kind of lead-i ership we want for our nation — the kind of example we want for ourf children? We have a clear choice this! election: Bob Dole and Jack Kem^ promise us a tax cut, and they wan^ to give back government to the stated and localities. I think it's time wq reclaim America by giving them d try. RANDALL UPDIKJK Washington

Letters Prom A-4 run on, they have spewed out a negative campaign of innuendo, unfounded facts, and outright falsehoods. The Republicans want you to believe that the country is in horrible shape, suffering from rampant unemployment, Roaring inflation, and a runaway crime fate, and that it's a crime for anyone With a foreign-sounding name to contribute to the Democrats. The truth is that unemployment, inflation, the crime rate, and the federal deficit have all decreased markedly pince Clinton took office. I Here are the facts. I dare Bob Dole or any Republican to refute them. ' • Unemployment is at a 7-year low I— 5.4 percent. I • Inflation is at the lowest rate in 00 years, 2.9 percent < • The federal deficit has decreased $109 billion,since Clinton took office. * • The nation's crime rate for violent crime — murder, rape, robbery, land aggravated assault — is at a 10year low. (It’s true the rate of marijuana offenses is up. But frankly fd rather nave people quietly smoking pot than committing murder, rape or robbery.) The truth is that the country is in better shape than it has been in decades. Keep it that way by voting Democratic in November. Re-elect Bill Clinton and put Mark Warner in the Senate and Bob Weinburg in Congress. BRUCE SLOANE Vice Chairman, Rappahannock - County Democratic Party Committee Support M. Warner To the Editor: You made a valid point last week .when you commended John Warner /or keeping submarine building in Newport News. However, this singular event in John Warner's 18-year unremarkable Senatorial tenure as a cold war specialist is not enough to warrant re-election to the U.S. Senate. Sure, John Warner has made some •positive contributions, but he also -voted against the minimum wage increase; against family and medical leave, against supports to protect the environment, wet lands and safe -drinking water, and against a federal tax on the richest members of our ^society. These are the issues of the 21st century. „ .John Warner will not leave the Senate unrewarded or unthanked. But . if voters grateful to him for Newport News shipbuilding jobs and revulsion at the thought of Ollie North as Senator thank him .with another six years, all Virginians can also took for.,ward to ultra conservative votes. Instead, we must vote for Mark iWamer who has a vision for the future nand the interests of all of mainstream Virginia families. ^ As a brilliant and innovative businessman who created a major high ,(tech industry in Virginia, Mark will ^utilize the same skills and talents in ...Congress to create a wide variety of job opportunities throughout the .Commonwealth. Mark Warner's kind . of environmentally friendly industry '.‘will bring all Virginians the promises 'nf the 21st century in employment, , education and quality of life.

While John Warner's adept at getting defense pork for Norfolk and should be commended fen- his opposition to the Senate candidacy of Ollie North two years ago, his record has otherwise been environmentally, educationally and budgetarily indefensible for our country. There are now compelling reasons for electing a man for the future, not the past, and that man is Mark Warner for Senate. He is a man who, like Bill Clinton and unlike John Warner, is ready to meet the future decades with know how, experience, compassion and good fiscal judgment For example, one of the pledges Mark Warner has made over and over again is his support for strengthening small businesses. He speaks from personal experience and, since Rappahannock County's economy depends so much on the health of its small businesses, Mark Warner's votes in the Senate could greatly strengthen Rappahannock County's well-being. Mark Warner also strongly supports President Clinton's pledge to help our students develop the means to succeed in this era of rapid change. And certainly, Mark Warner’s support of environmental policies that protect the hills and mountains, the forests and fields, the streams and wildlife we prize so highly here in Rappahannock County also merit our votes on November 5. RICHARD ABELL Woodville Phonics Works To the Editor Research says that the best way for children to master reading skills is for them to learn to sound out the alphabet and groups of letters. That means phonics must be taught in school. If children are having a difficult time reading, that's probably because they haven’t teamed to sound out letters. If children have changed from being excited about going to school to not wanting to go to school, it may be because they aren’t good readers. Children who are taught phonics are good readers. Those who aren't taught phonics may not be good readers. There is an excellent video in the Rappahannock Public Library that every parent and teacher should see. It makes a powerful case for phonics.

And while I’m in the mood for giving praise where it’s due, let me just tell you what the schools are like, from the inside. r Fm just a substitute — no way as smart and clever as our teachers are, but the same exact love and devotion for our children is there, that’s a promise. As I get called in to sub for such a variety of positions, I get the opportunity to see our kids in several different modes. The elementary school kids arrive with smiles, eager to please, ready and willing, as do the high schoolers, although the load they're caring this year is heavier than ever. The best part is, though, they're doing it. It's a real pleasure being among the most talented and smartest bunch of kids I've ever known in a student body. I have attended schools in several countries, so I say this honestly. When f subbed in the cafeteria, I got to see the kids happy. It was lunch time, so that was fun. When I subbed in the library I got to see children excited over books, (my passion) so that was great fun. When I subbed in ISS (in school suspension), that wasn't so much fun, but the kids who were sent there only broke a school rule, so we still got to. talk some smart talk. As I sub in the high school right now, I'm having the time of my life. The girls are so pretty and talented, and the boys so tall and smart. I wish the high school I went to had been full of such great kids! All the positions I get to sub are exciting and challenging and the most rewarding part of the day comes when, inevitably, they return my smile.

Faith Mountain Supports Enrichment By BONNIE PRICE LOFTON Rappahannock Nm Contribntlnf Writer Rappahannock's students may be more familiar with the sounds of cows than the sounds of a symphony, but they're not culturally deprived. More than 100 individuals and businesses have donated money to ensure that local students are exposed to the kind of talent most commonly found in big cities. The list of performers or speakers visiting the elementary and high schools this year contains more than a dozen names, including: • A well-known illustrator of children’s books, a drama coach for the elementary - school, and a moving speaker on drinking and driving who was featured on the front page of The Farmers Get Tax Break Governor George Allen announced Virginia's farmers can now claim a new tax credit for the purchase of equipment which increases the pre' cision of applications of nutrients and pesticides. The credit is designed to be an incentive for fanners to buy starter fertilizer band attachments, which help reduce the nutrients that flow into Virginia's waterways. "We are promoting innovative, technological solutions to help farmers be good stewards of Virginia's natural resources," said Gov. Allen. "This new tax credit will encourage them to buy the equipment they need to reduce the amount of pesticides used during farming." Virginia Tech researchers have found that banded fertilizer applications may result in more efficient use of nitrogen and phosphorous in com production. Because plants use more of the nutrients in this method, less of the fertilizer must be used, reducing the amount of potential runoff. The tax credit is the lesser of 25 percent of the new equipment purchase price of $3,750. This new tax crediris the fifth category of equipment being promoted as part of Virginia’s nutrient management program. To claim the tax credit, agricultural producers must purchase equipment meeting certain state-established specifications, and have a nutrient management plan development and approved by the local soil and water conservation district. Equipment categories eligible for the credit are sprayers for pesticides and liquid fertilizers, pneumatic fertilizer applicators, manure applicators, tramljne adaptors and starter fertilizer banding attachments for planters. Inquiries regarding the tax credit or equipment specifications may be directed towards local soil and water conservation districts or Russ Perkinson, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation nutrient management program manager, at (804)371-0061. Washington Post last year. • The Virginia Opera doing a oneday residency at the elementary school, including small group workshops and assemblies, plus a separate show on a different day at the high school. • A return visit by the African performer Kengmo, who has performed at the Smithsonian and done workshops at the Kennedy Center. • "Science by Van" from the Virginia Science Musuem, as well as presentations by the Virginia Wildlife Center. This year, the third year of the volunteer:run Curriculum Enrichment Programs, saw the most donations ever. Rosa Crocker, who spearheads the program, collected about $11,000, or about $10 per child, apportioned into five events or activities each. The school board allocated $2,500 toward the programs. The single largest private donation, $1,500, came from the Faith Mountain Company, whose headquarters sits between the two schools on U.S. 211. Cheri Woodard, president of Faith Mountain, said that Curriculum Enrichment Programs was selected as Faith Mountain's local charity this year because it represented a way to touch the lives of many children, including those of employees. „ Faith Mountain raised the money through a catalogue insert advertising a suncatcher, a glass ornament usually hung in a window dr on a Christmas tree, designed by local glassblower Eric Kvames. Mr. Kvames has three children at the elementary school. The insert read: "All profits from the sale of the suncatcher will be donated to our two rural mountain schools. The schools receive strong support from our community, but resources are limited, and Faith Mountain would like to be able to bring the joy and wonder of the creative and performing arts to our students' learning experience." Faith Mountain's customers bought 950 suncatchers, with the design of a schoolhouse, at $10 each. Ms. Crocker said other donations came from more than 100 sources, with the largest individual donation being $650. She solicited donations through letters sent to each student’s home and through mailings to supporters of the arts in Rappahannock County. "I would like to have seen more parents respond," she said. "Only 10 percent of the students' households made a donation. Even a small donation would have been welcome." The most touching donation she has ever received, she said, was a quarter pressed into her hand by a small child at the elementary school after the child saw the American Jazz Ensemble. "This kid was so thrilled by the music, he wanted to give whatever he could to make sure the musicians came back." Positive feedback also comes from teachers and administrators. "The programs have been exceptionally good,” said Principal Jack Raines. "I've worked in three larger schools and none has offered anything any better than what we've seen here. "The uniqueness of our small size enables us to reach all of our kids with these excellent people. We're not just killing time with these assemblies — our students are really getting enriched." Seniors From Page A-l ready for them to start using it. "We don't want to be moving from place to place," she said. Harriet Lewis of Sperryville, who. began attending the site in July, said she feels the group will get into their - new place next week. "I am hoping and praying that on Monday we will get in," she said. Ms. Lewis said that she loves attending the site, and always enjoys meeting new people and helping out. Sperryville resident Affie Andes, another senior who attends the site, said "I will be really heppy when we can get in the new place." Ms. Kiger has been overwhelmed with the response from the community to offer help. She said that she Interim Wakefield District School Board Member ■ . ■ • The Rappahannock County School Board is accepting applications for interim Wakefield district school board member to fill the seat held by the late Paul Nichols. The term of the interim position will extend until the voters of Wakefield district elect a school board member on November 4,1997. Applicants must be qualified voters of the Wakefield district. All applications must be received in the school board office by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 6,1996. Wakefield voters wishing to comment on an applicant may do so at the regular school board meeting on Tuesday, November 12,1996 at 7:30 p.m. in the High School Library. After public comment, the School Board will select an interim Wakefield district school board member. Applicants may call the school board office at 987-8773 for additional information. walked into the building the other day and someone, she doesn't know who, had installed a ceiling fan for the site. A stove was donated and that is ready to use also. She said she hopes that once they are in the new site, more people will be able to attend because of the handicapped access. According to Brian Duncan, executive director of the Community Services Board, there were several problems with the new center revealed in a walk- through he took shortly after the work day. He said work had to be done on the heating system. He said it was also necessary to install a smoke detector, grab bars for the bathrooms, and a meter for power so the seniors could get a separate bill for electricity. According to Ellen Manson, a member of the Community Services Board and its chairman, most of the work has been completed. She said that she had not known that the seniors would be unable to use the site at the First Baptist Church this week. Last weekend Michael Soule met with representatives of the company that supplies propane for the furnace and work was done to cut off the duct work so that the heat of the furnace will go only into the room the seniors are using. Rose Ann Sharp, another county representative on the Community Services Board, said it was necessary to separate propane tanks so one would heat the room the seniors wijl be using while another heats the back rooms being used by the Child Care and Learning Center for the after school program. She said she would see that the work is done this weekend to install a separate electrical meter so the seniors' room is metered separate^ iyMr. Duncan is scheduoled to conduct another walk-through of the building to see if it is ready to use Monday afternoon. Mr. Duncan said the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board is unusual in that all the counties have mental health services and senior nutrition sites. He said that in many parts of Virginia these services are not available in rural counties and people have to travel to neighboring counties to receive such services. He said he and the board want to see the problems resolved so Rappahannock's seniors can begin enjoying their new site. This is the first story in a series on programs of the Community Services Board in Rappahannock County.

Next on the agenda was a touch football game between students and alumni. The alumni at first only managed a team of eight, so the student squad was cut to that number also. The alumni scored first on a run by Bill Atkins with Mike Tupper playing quarterback, but the students roared back with two touchdowns of their own and led at halftime 12-6. Halftime was the occasion for the introduction of the Homecoming Court: eighth graders Renee Goodwin and Brant Marlett, ninth graders Candy Ankers and Frank Paratore, 10th graders Jennifer Thomas and Ryan Ralston and 11th graders Stacey Payne and John Switzer. One by one the girls were driven onto the track and con- | veitibles or cars with sunroofs cir- | cled the field and then discharged < the young ladies where their escorts ! led them out onto the field. ! The senior class was represent- * ed by Kylene Wolfe and Billy Welch (who arrived late), Nikki \ Magee and Tommy Settle, Nerissa \ Roberts and Bill Dodson, and Michelle Switzer and Jeff Atkins (who had done double duty stand- \ ing in for Billy Welch also). Mr. Tupper announced that Nerissa Roberts and Jeff Atkins were first runner ups and Nikki Magee and Bill Dodson were King and Queen of Homecoming. Then the game resumed, but this time students were added to the roster to bring each side up to at least 11 players. Homecoming concluded with a dance Saturday night. Jackson From Page A-l improvements can be added or taken out in any year. He showed a map of county roads with roads due for improvements colored in blue. Other suggested improvements that have not been formally added to the plan yet were colored in green. He said several of the road improvements colored green were areas in the hollows above Washington and Sperryville were culverts regularly wash out in floods. "We need to protect some of those pipes we put in last summer and re-put in again this year," he said. He said even after an improvement has been put in the plan, it may not be carried out and cited Route 630 near Wakefield Country Day School as an example. He said there was objection to VDOT plans at a public hearing. Although people had asked VDOT to do something about flooding on the road, others objected to taking out trees and "the project is dead unless the board tells us to put it back," he said. Ron Makela said the VDOT policy of plowing primary roads clear of snow before secondary roads are plowed ignores the perception that "around here Route 642, as far as people are concerned is a primary." He said the policy of leaving crossover sections snow covered hampers traffic and causes a "problem for the fire department." Milton Thacker, with the VDOT Warrenton office, said he was new to the area last winter and this was the first time he had seen snow drifts like those. He said as a result of the blizzard last winter VDOT had worked with the county to develop alternative plans for snows of 10 inches or more. He said roads to all the county’s fire stations will be opened by special contractors. J.D. Carter, Amissville Fire Chief, said last winter a VDOT truck refused to plow out a cross over for an ambulance stuck in the median strip. Mr. Moore and Mr. Thacker urged him to watch plowing operations this winter and indicate if such problems remain. Mr. Thacker said VDOT trucks can plow out crossovers "as long as it doesn’t impede our work." Mr. Carter asked about replacing a bridge on Route 645. He said a fire truck cannot cross that bridge. Mr. Moore said it was due to be replaced in 2003 or 2004. Mr. Makela asked why VDOT mows a section of the median and then plants wildflowers. He said they could just leave the wildflowers already growing there. Mr. Moore said the wildflower program is independent of VDOTs usual work. He said the department is trying to find a balance between those who want the road sides to look "manicured" and those who want them left natural. One person asked why the fire tax is applied to automobiles. Mr. Carter said when the fire tax was first proposed, it would have only been on real estate, but the board of supervisors felt many rescue calls were!, to automobiles crashes, and those who! own motor vehicles but do not own real! estate should pay a share. 1 Mr. Frazier said the 'fire tax "has' been a learning process for everybody.! The board wants to be fair and equi-; table. We make last minute changes." • Paul Poling told of the difficult time the fire departments have covering their costs. He said the Fire and Rescue? Association hopes to get a grant to replace the building Used for training firemen which has been condemned. He assured those in attendance that bills paid out of the fire tax are careful-^, ly looked at by several organizations • before the payments are approved, y "What we have done is the best way to > handle it for everybody involved," he £ said. * Some of the people in attendance £ wondered why they have to pay the * additional $1.50 per month telephone JJ tax for E-911 when they cannot receive # the service. jjj Mr. Frazier said Bell Atlantic has£ refused to connect Rappahannock cus-* tomers with 937 telephone exchanges# to Rappahannock's E-911 service? because that would mean cutting* Culpeper customers off from a basic; 911 service that allows dispatchers? there to call back. He said;* Rappahannock customers with 937 and*! other telephone numbers considered* Culpeper numbers will get the service? when Culpeper is ready to implement E-911. * J.D. Carter said it could be two* more years before that happens. H<*# said he hopes the county does not cuff the tax any further (it was reduced from* $2 per month) because the funds could? also be used to upgrade radios, and fir£ and rescue personnel are having troubled keeping in contact with their radios. £ The Board of Supervisors adopted a legislative agenda that asks for relief from Bell Atlantic’s policy of no^ implementing E-911 for Rappahannock until Culpeper is ready to implement it. Del. Jay Katzen toltf the supervisors he would be working tef try to resolve the problem even before the legislative session that begins in lat{?

SPORTS Girls'Varsity Gets First Win By SHARON KILPATRICK ■Wdunnock New. SMTWriter Both girls'basketball teams had victories over Manassas Park last Thursday ahd then lost to Bientsville Tuesday in their last home games. Fw the JV the Manassas Park game was the second game of the regular season. For the varsity it was the first The JV prevailed 39 tp 11. Alice Gentry had 13 points; Rebecca Metcalfe added 9 and Mandolyn Ashby added 8. Rebecca and Mandolyn led in rebound ing with 9 . for Rebecca and 8 for Mandolyn. Rebecca Metcalfe teamed with Rebecca Let sen for four steals each. Coach Rhonda Jenkins said, "Overall that was the best game we played all year. They were very patient on offense, and they played superior defense. Against Brentsville the JV lost 3828. Alice had 11 points and Rebecca Metcalfe added 7 points, 5 steals and 8 rebounds. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan $onya Wigington has led in scoring thoughout the season. I Rappahannock was up 4-2 at the end of the first quarter and then went on a run early in the second quarter holding a 13-2 lead at one point. However Brentsville switched to a man to man defense and gradually climbed back taking a 19-16 lead at half time. Mandolyn and Rebecca Metcalfe got in foul trouble early in the second half collecting their fourth fouls, and the game generally crawled as both teams were in the bonus for about half the third quarter and all of the fourth. By the end of the third quarter Brentsville had extended its lead to 28-20, but Rappahannock came back and tied the game at 28 before fouls started catching up with the home team. Rebecca Metcalfe and Margo Haynes fouled out, and Brentsville won 38-28. "That was one tough one," Coach Jenkins said. Brentsville scored 22 of their points from the foul line and only 16 from the floor. Rappahannock had 20 from the floor but only 8 from the foul line. Coach Jenkins said her team really lost the game on the foul line. Overall she is pleased with the progress her team has made throughout the season. "We've come a long way from out first scrimmage," she said. "We were only blown out in three games and the rest were 10 points and under. I think the girls have made big strides this year." Against Manassas Park the varsity picked up a 59 to 34 win. Sonya Wigington scored 22 points and Angie Atkins added 14. "They did an excellent job," Coach Laura Conklin said. "Manassas Park had to foul us, and we did a good job of making the foul shots. They showed what they had learned throughout the season." The game with Brentsville was another story. Brentsville won 73-50. Sonya again led the scoring with 27 points. "That was remarkable," Coach Conklin said "considering they were trying to double team her throughout." Dawn Havstad added 15 points. Coach Conklin said early foul trouble was the team's main problem as three starters picked up three fouls each in the first quarter. By half time Sarah Gentry and Kylene Wolfe had four fouls. They sat out most of the third quarter and then both fouled out in the fourth. "We gave up the game in that first quarter," Coach Conklin said.

• Community News • Obituaries Rappahannock News • Real Estate • Classifieds WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30,1996 High Spirits for Ha[joween sv Rappahannock News Staff Photos by Cindy Mahan Children chose to dress up as witches, gypsies and superheroes for Friday night's Halloween Fun Fair at Rappahannock County Elementary School. Library Program on Social Services Set By DIANA BIRD Rappahannock News Contributing Writer In October 1995 the Library Program Committee sponsored a discussion with County Administrator John McCarthy which was well received and educated us about his work. Continuing our concern to inform our citizens altout our county and the government here, we heave scheduled for 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8, at the Library, a program with Beverly Leathers, director of the county Social Services Department. Mrs. Leathers graduated from Madison College in Harrisonburg with a BS degree in social work and minor in psychology. She has been employed here for eight years. The work of her office covers many activities because it administers both state and federal programs that relate to human services. Mrs. Leathers will tell us how programs such as Food Stamps, ' Medicaid, foster care and adoption impact the county. She will also inform us of an after school program recently started as a sentencing option for the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court which is designed to provide therapeutic and punitive intervention for teens who have committed non-violent crimes. The agency employs, besides the director, six full time workers and two part time ones. As a result of Virginia's welfare reform legislation which went into effect in July, 1995, our Social Services Department drastically altered its employment program. The Virginia Initiative for Employment not Welfare (VIEW) is operating here and has had twenty participants. Rappahannock was one of the first five counties to begin this program. The state is phasing in other areas incrementally and the whole state will be involved in three years. The Social Service Department is the point at which the many problems that arise from unemployment, disabilities and other hardships are dealt with by government — and the community. You will be surprised and interested to hear about the activities of this agency that operates confidentially with its clients but can discuss with us the character and magnitude of its work among our citizens. We will have an opportunity to become informed with facts, as opposed to being bombarded with propaganda, and to ask Mrs. Leathers questions. Rappahannock News Staff Photo by Cindy Mahan Beverly Leathers will discuss her ,vork Nov. 8.

Schubert's Music in Concert In an usual departure from the standard concert format, the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society presents the second of four events in its fifth season at the Theatre at Washington at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10. The Society's artistic director for the series, cellist, conductor, and musicologist Kenneth Slovvik, provides an in-depth look at Franz Schubert's great masterpiece, the String Quartet in D Minor, D810, Death and the Maiden. Assisting in the presentation are the four young members of the Tawes String Quartet, a scholarship ensemble in residence at the University of Maryland. The afternoon program serves a dual purpose, to give audiences a chance to become familiar with the inner workings of this classic among string quartets, and to enjoy a preview of the worldwide Schubert festivities planned for 1997, the two hundredth anniversary of the Viennese composer's birth. Mr. Slowik, who is a much soughtafter lecturer, faculty member of the University of Maryland, and artistic director for the Oberlin Conservatory's Baoque Performance Institute, begins the afternoon with a sketch of Schubert's life and the place of the string quartet in his creative output. A detailed discussion follows, with musical examples provided by the Tawes Quartet players. Tickets for the program at the Theatre in Washington are $ 13.50 with reservation, $ 15 at the door. Children's tickets are half price. For reservations, phone the Theatre at 675-1253.

Jenkins Family Cemetery Located By WAYNE F. BALDWIN ’ Rappahannock New* Contributing Writer Friday, Oct. 18th, I met with Sally Keyser and Jennie Frazier. We had prearranged our outing only the day before. The forecast threatened rain in the afternoon but we concluded that we'd make the short jaunt to our destination and back before any serious concern over rain. ‘ We began our trip up Thornton Hollow via Hull School road. A relatively easy walk, well marked trail, so we took our time engaging in convivial conversation. A perfect morning since the fog had lifted. A perfect Autumn morning with a cavalcade of leaves still hanging or spinning, whirling on the slightest breeze down toward the earth, lining our pathway idyllically. Our destination was the Jenkins cemetery. Last year's attempt at locating it had been a failure. Even reading Darwin Lambert's book was disheartening. The Bowen sisters were again consulted at the Bowen reunion back in September and although they were con current on locality, were different on the approach. We needed to find the entrance to the Joseph W. Bowen property and from that point turn left, cross the Thornton and go up the hill. The house site is not difficult to find. This I discovered last fall, but the cemetery was another matter. I had no success on the first try. Following the directions given, also well known to us, and easier too from having been there previously, it took a while to maneuver over the river. The river itself, now drastically charged in appearance, depth and width since Fran’s meanness. Mounds of rock, fallen trees and other barriers forced us to use no small strategy in crossing. After reaching the house site and the spring our thought were set upon finding the cemetery. We knew we would! We'd said so before beginning the trip, but as time was moving on and we had not found it yet we began to question our own prediction. We'd obviously taken the wrong trail, or so we thought. We'd gone up the right side of the hillock and we meandered down the other $ide. Nothing! I suggested, since I'd already been over the area* that we go back around the brink of the hill to where we'd come up. Maybe it was on the other side of that road. Always in front, not by arrogance, but to save the others needless and unnecessary walking, I was rounding the hill, having all the while the view of the river to my right. About mid way, trying to get my bearings on the house site, I noticed what appeared to be bridal wreath. Upon closer examination there was indeed a sunken place. A gravq? Calling out to the ladies and waiting for their arrival, we together examined the area thereabouts. We found remains of fence post and wire and determined the size of the cemetery to be about thirty feet by thirty feet. We counted four graves; three adults and one child, each grave having a set of fieldstone markers (one at the head and one at the foot). We photographed the site also. We knew the names of at least two burials, viz: Daisy Frazier Jenkins and Lean Bailey Jenkins, both wives of Charlie Jenkins. A third burial Mr. Jim Jenkins, father of Charlie. Now we were on our way back, careful not to go head-over-heels down the steep slope. Crossing the river near the place we'd gone up and finding the Hull School Road, we started back. The skies had grown more over cast and rain laden. We felt a few droplets now and again but still thought we'd have plenty of time. Nearing 2:30 p.m. it started sprinkling. We were very close to exiting the Park, then it began. First, laige cold drops then a down pour. We came prepared with a poncho and trash bags. What an odd sight, Sally in her black trash bag with just her face showing. Jennie in a bright orange poncho, and me in my clear trash bag. Another cemetery located, another beautiful day with my buddies, exploring among the wonders of the Autumn season. Community Saddened by Butler Death Our prayers and sympathy are with Mrs. Alice Butler and family on the death of her husband, Lewis. Saturday guests of Mrs. Addie Keyser were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Keyser, their daughter, Michelle and son Leroy with his girl friend Amy Pullen of Alexandria.

'd Annual Campaign Underway On Oct. 8, the Piedmont United Way kicked off it's annual campaign with a bang. At the helm is James C. Lee, General Campaign Chair; Viki Hochschwender,* Culpeper county Chair; Benny Werner, Fauquier County Chair; Jim Walker, Madison County Chair; Ray Hugo, Orange County Chair, and Donna Foster as Rappahannock County Chair. These volunteers are striving to make this the best campaign ever. ' This year's campaign started out with a mailing of 31,000 letters and brochures to households in all five counties "this is a very important piece of mail" stated Lee. "It's about solicitation, to increase our contributions; community awareness of Piedmont United Way, how Piedmont United Way impacts the residents in the Piedmont area and the outcome of the contributors' investment to the community." Last year Piedmont United Way impacted in a positive way, one out of five individual sin the five counties. Add families to that number and the numbers affirm that giving to United Way does work right here at home. The pacesetters: Swift, Merlillat Industries, Virginia Power-Fauquier, Virginia Power-Orange, Central Fidelity National Bank, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, Mid-Day Lions, Culpeper Rotary Club, Clement Insurance, Commonwealth Gas, United Way Board, Staff and Agencies kicked off the campaign with $104,711.92 in pledges — a 52 percent increase over last year's kick-off. To date $141,027.09 of the $350,000,000 goal have been raised. . The money raised during the campaign will go toward funding the programs that benefit the community, whether it's a hot meal to a homebound senior, a safe haven for an abused women, a child going to camp for the first time or shelter for a displaced family. All contributions "work right here at home" funding the 27 agencies that serve the citizens of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock Counties. "The community is changing, America is changing. We see it happening all around us each day," commented Betty Roberts Piedmont United Way's executive director. "The emerging trends are shifting responsibilities from government to communities. The downsizing of businesses and the increase of families holding many jobs to survive grows each day. The community as a whole, everyone, needs to understand that agencies funded by Piedmont United Way are local agencies assisting local people. I believe the community is the joint sharing of the locality where you live. When people understand they are a part of the whole and that whatever impacts their community impacts them, maybe, just maybe, more people will add their dollars to the only fund in the five counties that meets the health and human needs of many," reflects Roberts. "Piedmont United Way is about a warm feeling of satisfaction a person gains from going beyond self to assure that everyone has shelter, food and a place to call when there is a crisis," Roberts added. She believes everyone should support their local Piedmont United Way. you never know when someone you know and care for may need the services. « a .v vm\Ws.Ti\uu\.VA.ViYtW«w»:ii Public School Lunch Menus yvtt’ry.'t*:*: RCES Monday, Nov. 4: Breakfast: scrambled eggsAoast or cereal/milk, toast, juice and milk.

Gehringer Heads Law Journal A new student-run electronic Scholarly Journal-Law Review, appropriately named, Perspectives on Law and the Public Interest, debuted April 19, 1996, with its inaugural issue, "The American Tobacco Debate." The Journal boasts articles from authors such as Richard McGowan, and Economist and Specialist in Federal and State regulation, Ruth Roemer, recent President of the American Public Health Association and current director of The School of Public Health at UCLA; and Graham Kelder of the National Tobacco Products Liability Project, a leading organization in Tobacco litigation nationally. Perspectives on Law and The Public Interest is designed as a Forum for Debate that "reaches beyond the Academic Legal Community to other disciplines such as Political Science, Public Policy, History, Medicine, and Business, says Robert Gehringer, L’97 and G'97 (Law and Molecular Biology, respectively), who is CEO and Editor-in-Chief. "A traditional Law Review and Journal does Legal Scholarship very well," says Mr. Gehringer, "but some of us found as first-year law students that we were required to be problemsolvers of interdisciplinary issues that range beyond the boundaries of legal education. We envisioned a Journal that would engage in critical analysis and debate on issues of importance to the public interest." The new Journal-Law Review is organized around theme issues. For its first Edition, the Editorial Board, chaired by Mr. Gehringer for editing and review, issued a call for papers and received requests to publish articles from prospective authors from as far away as Japan, England, the Far East, and including the entire United States. The next issue will focus on "The American Presidency in the 21st Century," publication this Fall. Like other electronic publications, Perspectives offers an electronic guestbook in which guests visiting the World Wide Web site may leave Comments and Articles that are linked to related materials on the Internet for further research. The address for Perspectives on Law and the Public Interest is: //www. urich.edu/—-——perspec/ There are currently twelve Editorial Board Members of which are chosen by interview and screening for final admission by the Admissions Committee and final selection is determined by Mr. Gehringer. The members of the Law Review and Journal are exceptional in their fields and have established a Scholarly Journal worth great notation for Law. Excerpts and Articles from The Record, magazine of the T.C. Williams School of Law, Richmond, Virginia; University of Richmond, Summer 1996, Vol.9, No. 2. T Norfolk Island Pines - Great Indoors By DR. DI ANE RELF Extension Consumer Horticulturist The Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) is a slow-growing, evergreen conifer that is adaptable to many indoor conditions. It is native to Norfolk Island, located in the South Pacific between New Caledonia and Australia. It usually 5 feet tall if kept rootbound in the pot, but in its native habitat, it c$n reach a height of 200 feet and a diameter of 9 or 10 feet. Pines Require Low Light As a small plant, it can be displayed on a table or used is a planter. Eventually, it will develop to a suitable size for a floor planter or tub. In the summer, it can be placed on a shaded porch, deck, or patio. Norfolk Island pine is a low light-requiring plant (50 to 75 foot-candles), so-avoid placing it in full sun. It also requires moderate temperatures with a winter range of temperatures 50 to 55 F at night to 70 F on sunny days and 60 F on cloudy days. It is attractive for many years if given proper care. Overwatering Is Cause of Failure Soil should be kept moist, but not wet. Too much moisture can cause root rot, especially at low night temperatures. The amount of water and fertilizer supplied governs the rate of growth, ranging from several inches to several feet per year. The growing medium, type and size of pot, plant size, average temperature, and amount of light received influence watering amount and frequency. Overwatering is a major cause of plant failure. Two applications per year of a liquid house plant fertilizer should keep Norfolk Island Pines growing at a moderate rate. Use a dilute fertilizer solution. Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons soluble fertilizer (15-15-15 analysis) per gallon of water. Or use 1 tablespoon of soluble fertilizer (8-12-4 analysis) per gallon of water. Pines Grow Taller in Larger Pots Repot plants when they outghow the original container, keeping in mind that root restriction helps control the size of the plant. Repotting also can encourage new root and shoot growth on plants that may have been damaged, such as by overwatering, use a well1 aerated growing medium with peat moss and perlite or vermiculite for potting. Check your cultural techniques if your Norfolk Island Pine has an unhealthy appearance. Sudden loss of leaves can be caused by a sudden change in temperature or light intensity, overwatering, or transplant shock. Browning of the leaf tips may be due to improper watering, excess fertilizer, exposure to cold or insect attack (especially scale insects). Loss of normal foliage color can be due to a lack of fertilizer, overwatering, or excess sunlight.

’97s Offer Improved Performance Automobile manufacturers and the dealers that handle their products must carefully monitor changing trends and react quickly to buying trends. In the Piedmont region of Virginia, and depending on their needs, potential buyers can find a full range of offerings when they go shopping for a new vehicle. Sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks remain popular — and often necessary in our local markets, and most dealers' showrooms have at least one of each line on display, with many more on the lot. Likewise, large and small trucks continue to sell well to farmers, contractors and homeowners. The selection of family cars has improved, even though General Motors 'line of full-size, rear wheel drive cars are no longer being built. They have been replaced by smaller, more economical models. Sporty cars — including some really exciting models— will debut in '97. Advances in automotive technology offering improvements in performance, economy, and safety continue this year. All in all, 1997 promises to be a good year for the car buyer and enthusiast. A report on the new models follows, organized by manufacturer and model. j CHRYSLER CORPORATION Chrysler Division A model sure to be popular in our area is the 4-wheel drive Chrysler Town & Country mini-van, which now comes with traction control on the front drive train. It combines the roominess of a van with the snow-and-mud capabilities of a sport utility. The flashy Sebring gets optional 17inch wheels, and the, convertible is available with the 2.4 litre four cylinder enge used in the Cirrus. The roomy LHS is back, officially replacing the venerable New Yorker. Dodge Division The Dodge line-up also has numerous changes for '97. The compact Neon comes with optional disc brakes on all four wheels, and interiors can be had with colorful 'Tango" fabrics. The base model Avenger can now be ordered with a 163-hp 2.5 litre V-6 engine. All models come with a 4-speed automatic transmission. For the true sports enthusiast, the new Viper RT/10 comes with a better-sealing soft top. The new Viper GTS coupe is in a class by itself. In the Dodge truck line, the mid-size Dakota grows two inches wider, getting a new body style reminiscent of the larger Ram pickups. The power from the optional 5.2 litre V-8 has been increased to 230-h.p. The full-size Ram Wagon also gets a Plymouth Breeze TimcsDcmocrat Staff Photos/John Toler The Jeep Wrangler returns with coil spring suspension, new dashboard. re-style job, and the big Ram pickup can be ordered with leather seats and a wood-grain dashboard. Plymouth Division The Plymouth Breeze, introduced last year, was well-accepted as a lower priced version of the Stratus/Cimis. This year, the long-wheelbase Voyager mini-van can be had with the Rallye appearance package. Everyone is anticipating the arrival of the Plymouth Prowler, a two-seat hotrod powered by a 24-valve, 3.5 liter V-6. This unusual vehicle has 20-inch tires on the rear and 17-inch tires on the front, and with its bucket body and outboard front fenders looks like something out of Rebel Without A Cause. Only a few will be built; let's hope our local dealers get one. Jeep & Eagle You'll have to wait until spring for the new-designed Cherokee, which will come with more rounded lines and a new interior. It will get a dashboard similar to onepiece front side glass and hidden hinges. The popular Grand Cherokee, a top seller in our area, returns in'97 with minor changes. The Talon sport coupe gets updated styleing on the front and rear. TheTSi allwheel drive model gets 17-inch wheels and tires.

V-6 and four-wheel disc brakes. The Monte Carlo coupe, first offered last year, is available in a sporty Z34 version. Likewise, an RS model of the Cavalier will be offered in '97 which has the look but not the price tag of the Z24. 1997 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Chevy Z28 Camaro, and commemorative models with distinctive interior treatments are planned. There is a lot of excitment about the fifth-generation Corvette, to be unveiled in January. It will have an all-aluminum overhead valve 5.7 litre engine that produces 340 h.p. Watch for it! A new mini-van joins the Chevy line-up for '97. The Venture, a front-wheel drive model powered by a 180-h.p. 3.4 litre V-6, replaces the old Lumina van. The Venture offers many new high-tech gadgets, including the Sungate metalliccoated windshield that also acts as the radio antenna, and has 17 cup holders and 26 storage bins built in. The Venture has an allsteel body, rather than the plastic panels u$ed on its predecessor. The rear-drive, mid-size Astro van continues with minor changes, including new leather seat surfaces and transmission refinements.

It's larger than previous full-size vans, with the Express being the passenger model and the Van for cargo. Chevy's sport utility lines are having a changes. The mid-size Blazer can be ordered with the Z2 off-road package previously available on S-10 pickups (3-door only).

The Suburban is entering the year with only minor changes, as is the C/K line of full-size pickups. Refinements include softer-shifting automatic transmissions and a disable switch for the passenger-side airbag. Geo The Geo Prizm, which is built in California, gets power steering as standard equipment this year, as well as new color and trim choices. The 3-cylinder Metro will probably take the honor as the top mileage car again in '97. The 4-cylinder engine, first available last year, is now standard in the LSi model. The popularity of the 4-wheel drive Tracker mini-sport utility vehicle continues to climb, especially since the introduction of the 4-door model last year. Buick Division New models in the Buick line-up include the full-size Park Avenue and midsize Century. The Park Avenue, built on the Riviera platform, is a replacement for the rear-drive Roadmaster. It has a 205-h.p. 3.8 litre V-6, which can be supercharged to deliver 240h.p. The Century is now built on the Regal platform, making it bigger and heavier than the model it replaced. The Regal, by the way, will return in a revised form later this year. The family-sized LeSabre and the personal luxury Riviera continue with minor changes. The compact Skylark gets updated trim and color changes. Oldsmobile Division The new Cutlass, due on dealers' lots later this year, replaces the popular Ciera' model that had been ariound since '82.

Success Changes Warrenton Auto Working in a family-owned business is a rewarding experience — but it can also be tough, especially when the business is growing and changes are made. Often, success and longevity combine to force change. This is happening today at Wanenton Auto Service, a well-established auto body and mechanical service now in its 28th year in business in Warrenton. The business was started in 1966 in Arlington by Carlos and Ruth Bower. Carlos retired in 1989, and Ruth, who has been running the business office and many other aspects of the operation, began "practicing retirement” on Sept. 1. Mrs. Bower, who is as well-known for her contributions to the community as she is for her business success. She still comes by the office nearly every day, training her replacements and handling the many details that still call for her vast institutional knowledge. "My mother is a workaholic," said Norman Bower. He has worked in the family business since the age of 18 and is now taking over the general management duties. "This business has been her life. I'm concerned about how the business will do without her and I appreciate her help. And I'm happy to say that my mother will continue to represent Warrenton Auto Service in the community. "I plan to bring new ideas and change some things here soon," he continued. "But right now, I’m just trying to stay on top of things." Bower's plans include attracting more business for the mechanical shop, which has not grown as fast as the body shop. To accomplish this he has hired several new people. Paul Comer, a Cadillac specialist, recently joined ASE-certified technician and state inspector Eddie Gray and frontend specialist Larry Dodson in the mechanical shop. Mechanic Bob Lewis is currently on leave. Another new addition is Brian Allison, an experienced service writer with extensive background in the Ford Motor Co. product. Jerry Lewis has been employed by the Bower family since they opened their first auto repair business in Arlington in 1966. “He’san exceptional employee," said Bower. "How can you thank someone for such loyalty?" Working with Lewis in the body shop are lead painter Mark Anderson and his brother, Jim, who is the prep man; Dean Fox, who specializes in unibody repairs, and detail man Chester Williams. Bower's wife, Bonnie and daughter Carla work in the front office. Rosemary Faulkner and Julie Reid are in charge of the parts department Bower is planning a face lift for the facility next year and continues to seek new state of the art body shop and diagnostic equipment Warren ton Auto Service employs I-Car Certified body shop technicians, and has earned the I-Car Gold Class rating by keep Times Democrat Staff Photo/John Toler Moving Ahead: Ruth and Norman Bower of Warrenton Auto Service . ing up with the latest training and techniques. The body shop offers convenient "direct repair work" for customers of several major auto insurance companies.

Richard Pratt is the new finance manager at Rick Hunt Inc. Hunt Expands Locale After spending the summer marooned by highway construction and battling huge clouds of dust, the folks at Rick Hunt Inc. are well on the way with a little construction job of their own. Now located on ever-changing U.S. 29 (Lee Highway) just north of Warrenton, Rick Hunt Ford opened in Warrenton in March, 1973. After many years selling the Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury lines, owner Rick Hunt picked up the area's ChryslerDodge-Plymouth franchise. The two car lines complemented each other, and the business has grown. About three years ago. Hunt spun off the Chrysler and Plymouth lines, added Jeep and Eagle and became partners with Joe Jacoby in a new dealership in Warrenton. That left Dodge still with Hunt — and now that car line is getting a home and showroom of its own at the modem "auto park” north of town that Hunt opened in 1985. Work on the new facility is well underway, with a fall grand opening planned. Rick Hunt Inc. is a full service dealership, offering new and used car and truck sales, auto parts, mechanical service and a body shop. Vehicles can also be leased or rented at Rick Hunt Inc. In addition to Hunt, the principal personnel include John Konoza, sales manager; George Proffitt, service manager; Ronnie Allen, body shop manager and Scott Wyland, parts department manager.

Times-Democrat Staff Photostat Gardiner Jim and Joanna Harris, of Jim Harris 01ds-Buick--Pontiac-GMC Inc. The sales staff at the Jim Harris dealership: Rick Foard, Monty Owens, Russell Meadows, Ken Ralph and John Harris Harris Dealership Marks Anniversary Last March, Jim Harris Olds-BuickPontiac-GMC celebrated a milestone: five vigorous years in business in Warrenton. Since opening his doors in 1991, finding out what kind of vehicles his customers wanted has guided the way Jim Harris does business. Along the way, he also learned how important it is to become part of the community. Since no two customers are alike, Harris * brings to Fauquier a wide variety of vehicles built under the Olds, Pontiac and Buick nameplates. These include economy cars, family-sized sedans and wagons, sporty cars for singles, mini-vans and sports-utility vehicles. About three years ago, Harris added the GMC truck line — full-sized, heavy duty trucks and work vans, as well as additional sports-utility lines and the big Yukon models. The service department at Jim Harris is fully equipped to troubleshoot and repair any GM vehicle, regardless of its age. The parts department is fully stocked with most-needed replacement parts and has express delivery of any parts not normally kept on hand. In his first year in business, Harris learned that customers wanted him to become part of the community, and that is a goal he has pursued enthusiastically. Two years ago, he arranged for GM to donate a water-damaged — but brand new — Buick to the automotive shop at Fauquier High School. Students have learned how to repair the complicated electronics found on new cars by working with this model. When the Liberty High School Booster Club was raising money to improve the school's sports facilities, Harris provided them with a GMC conversion van far below cost. The dealership has also sponsored youth team sports and contributed to numerous other school projects. In addition, the dealership is a major sponsor of the Newspapers in Education Project (NIE) initiated by the Fauquier Times-Democrat, providing 190 newspapers to the two high schools for students and teachers. Jim Harris Olds-Buick-Pontiac-GMC, Inc., an integral part of Fauquier County, is here to stay. Stop by 250 W. Shirley Ave., Warrenton, or call (540) 347-3341. montgameru auto ports me.

So it should come as no surprise that October is National Car Care Month. But given the complexity of today's vehicles, many motorists, including former do-it-yourselfers, are looking for professional technicians as "tune-ups” have become "engine performance diagnosis" and on-board computer systems, electronic climate control, anti-lock brakes, digital dash boards, and other advanced systems grow popular.. The following tips from Ihe National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) should make finding a qualified automotive technician easier. Ask a number of friends or business associates for recommendatiions. Be sure to call your local consumer organization and inquire about the reputation of the place of business in question. Look for a relatively neat, well-organized facility with up-to-date equipment and polite service personel willing to discuss your repairs and answer your questions. Policies concerning diagnostic fees, labor rates, guarantees, and other policies should be posted. Check around for an auto technician certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. ASE, a national, nonprofit organization, certifies automotive technicians by means of nationally administered tests. Technicians voluntarily take these competency exams in up to eight automobile specialties, such as Engine Repair or Brakes. There are also exams for medium/heavy truck and collision repair technicians, engine machinists, and parts specialists. Those who pass and fulfill the hands-on work experience requirement are awarded ASE credentials attesting their competency. The certified technicians are then eligible to wear the blue and white ASE shoulder insignia. Not only are these credentials meaningful to the technician,they are reassuring to his employer, and important to you. They are the extra assurance that your technician knows his or her stuff. All ASE~certified technicians must recertify every five years in order to remain current current with technology and to stay in the program. Currently, there are almost 400,000 ASE-certified technicians across the country in every kind of repair facility from new car dealerships, service stations, indepedent garages, to franchised outlets. Shops that employ these certified technicians often display the blue and white ASE outdoor sign and post their technicians' credentials in the customer service area. . Officials with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence remind motorists that their involvement can help ensure successful automotive repair. Among ASE's recommendations to consumers: • Read your owner's manual. • Become famaliar with the basic components and systems. • follow the manufacturer's service schedules. • Make note of noises, unusual odors, changes in perfomance, and handling. • When describing your vehicle’s problem(s), be concrete, but resist the temptation to diagnose. • Have small problems repaired before they become major headaches. • Keep good records. ASE has prepared a brochure, "How to Communicate for Better Automotive Repair." For a free copy, send a selfaddressed, stamped, business envelope to: ASE Communication Brochure, Dept. CCC-R96, P.O.

Tires: Where Rubber Meets Road WASHINGTON, D.C. — Falling leaves may mean the end of summer, but a change of season doesn't mean you should change good habits when it comes to taking proper care of your tires, says the Tire Industry Safety Council. "When outside temperatures begin to drop, tires should be checked at least once a month because cold weather reduces your tire's inflation pressure," says council chairman Thomas E. Cole. "Driving on underinflated tires causes tire tread to wear faster and unevenly." ’ "Underinflated tires also reduce ride performance, affect vehicle handling, and decrease your vehicle's fuel efficiency," Cole adds. A tire is considered significantly underinflated when it is four or more pounds below the recommended air pressure. Another good habit to continue in the fall, according to Cole, is to check your tires for uneven wear patterns. "Uneven wear may signal improper inflation pressures, misalignment, tire and wheel imbalance or suspension problems," Cole explains. Misalignment in the front or rear end of your car, and mechanical problems such as improperly operating brakes or shock absorbers, bent wheels or sprung axle housings, can all cause uneven treadwear. Irregular tire wear can often be corrected by rotating your tires. Check your car owner's manual or consult the tire manufacturer for the appropriate rotation pattern for your vehicle. After rotation, adjust each tire’s air pres sure to the appropriate level for its new location, as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. "Your tires were designed to give you many thousands of miles of excellent service. But you must take good care of them in order to get optimum mileage," Cole says. The Council is stressing the benefits of regular tire inspection as part of its observance of National Car Care Month.” The Council offers these fall driving tips: • Take it easy on wet roads. Stopping on a wet road can take up to four times the normal distance on a dry road. As water accumulates on the road, tires with shallow tread tend to hydroplane as speed increases, particularly over 40 mph. • Watch for autumn leaves. Even when it's not raining, leaves have a tendency to retain moisture and create a slippery surface for tires. • Look for built-in treadwear indicators called "wear bars," (narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread). When these appear, it's time to replace your tires. The Council offers a free brochure on tire care for cars and light trucks. To order the guide, send a selfaddressed, stamped business-size envelope to: Tire Industry Safety Council, P.O. Box 3147, Medina, Ohio 44258. The Council also offers a tire care kit which includes an air pressure gauge, a tread depth gauge, four valve caps and a tire care brochure. To order a kit, send a check or money order for $4 to the above address. DRIVER'S LICENSE Happy Thanksgiving, Turkey. Thanksgiving is one of our nation's most travelled holidays.

No Squeeze Play For Auto Hose Until recently, the most common method of checking engine coolant hose was to visually inspect its outside cover for signs of wear, or "ballooning" under pressure. This method is no longer considered completely reliable in light of research that proves most hoses fail from the inside out. Damage Starts Inside During four years of field tests on fleet vehicles, engineers for The Gates Rubber Company identified the primary cause of coolant hose failure as all electrochemical attack on the tube compound inside the hose. The phenomenon, Jcnown as electrochemical degradation or ECD produces fine cracks, or striations, in the tube wall. These fine cracks extend from the inside to thee outside of the hose tube, near one or both ends of the hose. The coolant seeps through these cracks and attacks the hose reinforcement as it wicks along the length of the hose. The condition eventually results in a pinhole leak or a burst of hose at failure. ECD is not peculiar to any one automotive manufacturer, but is evident in almost all cooling system hoses. The most severe damage occurs where the temperature is hottest and air is present with the coolant, which is why upper radiator hoses tend to fail first. Like oxidation, ECD is accelerated by driving lhabits thal increase the heal history of the coolant hose. Therefore, engine hoses that are subjected to any extended amount of stop-and-go, or engille idle, show earlier and more severe electrochemical damage The "Squeeze Test" The best way to check coolant hose for the effects of ECD is to squeeze the hose near the clamps or connectors using the following procedures recommended by Gates: 1. Make sure the engine is cool. 2. Use fingers and thumb to check for weakness, not the whole hand. 3. Squeeze near the connectors. ECD occurs within two inches of the ends or the hose—not in the middle. 4. Check for any difference in the feel between the middle and ends of the hose. "Gaps," or "channels," can be left along the length of the hose tube where it has been weakened by ECD. 5. If the ends are soft and feel mushy, chances, are the hose is under attack by ECD. To avoid breakdowns, replacement is recommended. Replace four-year-old hoses A replacement interval of four years ror all coolant carrying hoses — especially the upper radiator, bypass and heater hoses — can help prevent unexpected failure from ECD. The ihcidence of hose failure increases f AUTO BODY tnc. ■PERSONALIZED SERVICE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP AT A REASONABLE PRICELET US BE YOUR COLLISION REPAIR SPECIALIST! • Complete Auto and Truck Repair Facility • State of the Art Painting System • Chief EZ Liner Frame Machine Ana Measuring System • Highly Trained and Certified Technical Staff • Frienaly And Personal Service • Towing Available • Custom Painting & Striping • Fiberglass, Aluminum and Plastic Repairs • 100% Guaranteed Color Match • Insurance Claims Welcome! • Saturday Hours For Your Convenience!

Electrochemically resistant (ECR) hose has been developed by Gates engineers that resists the. destructive effeets of ECD. This stock, which is expected to evolve into the industry standard, carries the ECDresistant properties of silicone hose, without the susceptibility to punctures and tears. In fleet tests in the toughest applications, ECR hoses have gone 200,000 miles and are still going with no electrochemical damage. Standard hoses reveal damage and failures as early as 20,000 miles in the same fleet tests. Used Car Bargains Thanks to-the $20,000 plus average sticker price for a new car, a well-maintained used car becomes a better value than ever. Buying a used car is not as risky as it once was, according lo Charles Pitts of the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association. "Newer cars hold up better and last longer than their predecessors," he says. "Reputable dealers are fussier about their merchandise; warranties are better, too." Good maintenance/repair records on the vehicle you're considering can help make the right decision, says the Car Care Council. When they are available they're like a pedigree and add to the value of a vehicle. This holds true for the vehicle you're selling, too, so make it a habit to keep them. For used car shoppers the Council offers The Used Car Buyer's Manual that takes the reader, step-by-step through the buying process. The 175-page book, written by auto broker David J. Buechel, helps you avoid lemons, locate bargains and sell your old cars. It includes car care tips and a directory of reliable used cars as well.
