Pennsylvania ski operator purchases Big Devil JAMES A. MOORE, president of Ski Corp., which has operated a successful ski area in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania for nine years, purchased Big Devil Ski Area when it went on the block last Fri day morning. The purchase price was $170,000 at auction, in addition to slightly more than a $100,000 first lein. Moore said, following settlement, that he realized there would be many Cleanup to continue THE ENTHUSIASTIC Rappahannock youths who took to the secondary roads Saturday for “Opera- . tion Cleanup” will continue their good deed this coming Saturday. Since completion of the project was impossible in only one day, these young people will contribute another day’s efforts. Response to the cleanup campaign was good in some areas of the county and disappointing in others. The lack of adult participation in some areas was appalling, while adult response in others was good. It was obvious in some areas that Pabst was the popular choice while Carlings took top honors in others. Everywhere it was apparent that Millers and Schlitz blend better with the dry foliage and are better camouflaged. problems which would take time to solve, but he intended to do so in “a reasonable period of time.” He said there would probably be other stockholders in the corporation which will be formed, but at this time he had no idea who or how many. “There are no immediate plans for expansion at the ski area, but we intend to make the existing facility nice. However, we do have long-term plans for the area. This could be anytime from two to five years, in our opinion. Before any plans are finalized a careful study will be made of the entire area.” “ I AM PERSONALLY, and the people in the company, are very happy to be in the- county of Rappahannock. Admiral Gardner is my friend; Mr. Fletcher (Turn to page 3) James A. Moore, president of Camelback Ski Corp. of Pennsylvania, left, with James W.

Entered as Second Class Mail at the Post Office in Washington, Virginia. Subscriptions (in advance) $3 in Rappahannock and adjacent counties: $3.50 East Coast: $4 Mid» west: $4.50 West Coast MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Spring thoughts WITH THE WAY the weather’s been the past few days, it’s kind of hard to get exercised about anything. The sun’s shining too warmly, the breezes are wafting too balmily, the clouds drifting too lazily. Who can get all worked up about problems at a time like this? The answer, of course, is that if you don’4; keep * an eye peeled for problems, they’ll sneak up on you. Take the example of our neighbors over in Loudoun, for example. The Board of Supervisors over there recently scored something of a triumph in behalf of the citizens they represent — a court upheld the Board’s insistence that it should regulate the pace and amount of residential growth, especially since giant housing developments had already placed a severe strain on county schools, utilities, roads, and all other governmental responsibilities. But did they get a chance to relax and enjoy their reasserted authority? No sir! Within the next few weeks they found out, almost by accident, of a huge natural gas pipeline project which is poised to march right across the county, cutting a 100-foot wide right-of-way in the process. The fighting starts all over again. Sounds sort of like Rappahannock and the powerlines, doesn’t it? No sooner was Potomac Edison thwarted than Virginia Electric threatened to bulldoze through. , MAYBE IF THE people in charge of such activities would take a little time to notice some of the things outlined at the beginning of this piece, they wouldn’t have so much time for plotting new outrages. If they truly enjoyed Rappahannock’s beautiful country, they surely wouldn’t want to chop .it down, and string it over with high voltage powerlines. □ Vepco is chastened Editor: The following letter has been sent to T. Justin Moore, president of Virginia Electric & Power * Company: Rappahannock County is beautiful — and we intend to keep it that way. Your proposed diversion of the normal route of the 500,000 volt transmission line amounts to attempted RAPE of the most scenic county in Virginia. The citizenry of today is not docile as you may ex pect, but is aroused and determined to stop and will stop the march of Moore’s mammoth metal monsters. This scenic area was, happily, bypassed by the railroad and we will not allow an electron road with long-lasting visual pollution and scars. Please, sir, reconsider your proposal before you make “Vepco” an obscene word in these here parts. Virginia is for lovers, not rapists. Roger P.

Freeman of Washington, Va. was the name drawn from all entries in the contest and she will receive a free subscription to tlie Rappahannock News.

Frazier and John R. Eastham. Here s another, try again. Letters to the editor Vepco practices scored Editor: The following is a statement I intend to read Wed- * nesday, April 19, at the stockholders’ meeting of Virginia Electric & Power Company. I am a Vepco stockholder: Our president, Mr. T. Justin Moore was quoted in the Fall-71 company magazine Vepcovian, “In numerous areas of the country, business is in the forefront in community action programs. But believe me, we get attacked by every nutty group tnere is. Since any group is made up of people, and people consume the energy service of Vepco, we here might have a fascinating insight to the way our company’s management feels about its customers - disrespect and even contempt. But a rapidly increasing number of people are considering Vepco with disrespect and contempt, people who are now realizing that we all live in a finite environment and that Vepco’s intent is to continue to profit using methods and technology no longer compatible with their desired quality of life. When Vepco plans a new transmission line, private property owners are invaded by survey teams ruthlessly and unnecessarily cutting valuable timber and ornamental trees-anything that is in the way of the transit - before the company has the slightest idea that it really wants to or will be granted permission to build the line. When property owners try to defend their land, the company takes them to court and enjoins them from exercising their constitutionally guaranteed 1 IglllD. YCpVU OUV/O MV/UIUO of supervisors and county planning commissions before it has even applied for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (from the State Corporation Commission ) and proven its need for expansion. Requests for information from citizens and legislators are ignored, evaded or answered by misrepresentations. Company employes are arrogant and deceitful in their contacts with the public they serve. Indeed, Vepco clearly has yet to discover the necessity for public relations efforts. Thus, Vepco is inviting the formation of “nutty groups” whose sole purpose is to fight Vepco’s every move. New laws have recently been passed to restrict aggressive and irresponsibly conceived utility projects such * as the 500-thousand volt lines coming out of the new North Anna atomic generating facility and from Mt. Storm in West Virginia. . In defiance of all established criteria, Vepco would desecrate about twohundred miles of unspoiled countryside with old-fash ionea steel towers ana aenuded woodland slashes when two transmission corridors are already in existence between Mt. Storm and the North Anna area. Property owners are-| furious over this complet,ely unnecessary third corridor and Vepco’s shareowners should also be furious that their company would spend millions on right-of-way acquisition, compensating for damages to property values for miles on either side, adding to corporate tax liabilities and needlessly destroying additional environmental values.

T H E -L I T T L E F 0 X Canoe, youth groups clean up Hughes River THE CANOE CRUISERS Association of the greater Washington area and three members of the American Youth Hostel have again contributed a day to cleaning up one of the streams in the area. On Sunday, April 9, these groups joined forces to pick up trash on the badly abused Hughes River ■between Route 231 and the low water bridge below Slate Mills. Mrs Sally Grey, organizer of the clean up, reported that 24 people in 13 boats plus the three A.Y.H. members were involved. As last year when this group worked the Thornton River, they picked up trash in the stream and as much as possible on the banks within sight of the stream. Local people contributing to this project included the landowners along the route: Lee Payne, Charlie Racer, Joe Starry and Joe Powers who donated bags and trucks and who hauled the trash. A special word of appreciation goes to Oscar Dodson of Slate Mills who stayed with the canoists along the entire route to load, unload and haul the many cans, bottles, tires, clothes, text books and “you name it” found along the way. PEOPLE IN this area should be very grateful for those persons like Sally and Tom Grey and all who joined them. They clean up a mess which is definitely not of their making. They use the stream maybe twice a year at the most; yet they have an appreciation for a clean stream and are willing to devote the time to make them clean, or at least cleaner. Unfortunately, there are those locally who have little or no interest in cleaning up and in fact continue to throw trash along the road and into the stream; yet these are the ones who see it every day. As Joe Starry said, “It’s too bad all of us -aren’t as good citizens as these people,” the Canoe Cruis-c ers and Youth Hostel members. □ Brooke Miller of Washington, Va., one of the greatest fans the Washington Redskins football team has ever boasted, shakes hands with the Skins cornerback Mike Bass after Bass spoke at the RCHS athletic awards dinner Saturday. Brooke can answer any question you could possibly ask about the Redskins. Oscar Dodson of Slate Mills aided with the Hughes River clean up April 9 by taking away bags of trash as the canoists gleaned it from the river bed and banks. He accompanied the boaters the entire route to help in this capacity. Pennsylvania (From page 1) is my counsel and they have introduced me to some of ' the people.

County girls’ track team enters first meet ANOTHER NEW sport made its debut at Rappahannock Saturday when a girls’ track team traveled to Culpeper for its first competition. The team was organized and coached by Miss Ann Spieker, girls’physical education teacher at Rappahannock High School. The youthful team (seven of the eight girls who competed were ninth graders) lost to the larger Culpeper Squad (approximately 25 girls) by Judy Kay Alther was named “Miss Congeniality” by her fellow beauty candidates in Friday’s pageant held at the local elementary school. She receives a gift from Jaycee Julian Brown. THE VERSATILE FORD 4000 SU TRACTOR . The new “just right" tractor. .

Competing girls for Rappahannock were Kaye Bennett, Judi Burke, Lisa Day, (first place in discus and high jump) Maureen Day (high scorer with 16 points) Kathy Dwyer, Sharon Foster, Ella Mae Harper, and Libby Snead. This was not the full team. For a variety of reasons, ranging from College Board Exams to the cleanup campaign, Katie Pendleton, Debbie Thomas, Judy Alther, Wendy Brown, and Cil Davis did not get to compete. RAPPAHANNOCK dominated the field events, winning the high jump, shot put, discus and hurdles events. The Day twins, Lisa and Maureen, accounted for three firsts, and Sharon Foster won the shot put. At the end of the field events, Rappahannock led, 29 1/2 to 15 1/2. Culpeper retaliated, taking advantage of the missing Rappahannock runners, and built up points for a 59 1/2 to 40 1/2 victory. Team members are enthusiastic about the return of interscholastic sports for girls and are looking forward to more competition later in the season, and, hopefully, to the first sports victory for Rappahannock girls since girls’ basketball disappeared years ago.

Firemen are volunteers who render assistance when needed; who give freely of their time in any emergency. It is no joke to impose on these people and to cause needless operation of emergency vehicles which are supported and operated by contributions of local citizens.

THERE HAS BEEN QUITE- a bit of talk recently about the consolidation of our local churches. When asked for my opinion, I was frank to state that I would rather have a consolidated church than no church at all. IUseems that the factors involved are sentimentality versus practicality. We can understand that an old church that spiritually nurtured our parents, can have a great sentimental value; but is that church dying on the vine? Is it a burden to the few worshippers who still attend its services? Is it practical? And what can we say in favor of consolidation? “In union there is strength.” In Luke 14:23 it seems that God wants His house to be full. “Go out and compel them to come in?” Now, I can’t seem to relate to ae congregation that has been brought kicking and screaming into the church. But, according to Luke, those will be more favored than those who refused an invitation. In verse 24 the Book says; “None of those who were invited (and refused) will eat at my table.” I am amazed at the apathy of Christians. Maybe I should say church-goers. There are some almost in the shadow of the church that do not attend regularly, would they drive a few miles to attend a centrally located church? I doubt it, but it might create a challenge to that person. THIS THOUGHT COMES to me; if you refuse to come into His church and eat at His table, will you set up a karmic situation where you might be hungry and He will not provide food for you? It is something to think about. The psalmist said; “I have never seen the Righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging for bread.” There used to be an old negro spiritual — “Let the Church Roll On.” If we can not keep our little churches ‘rolling on’, let us build a bigger church and combine our congregations and efforts to His glory. □ EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE LAIGC OWtAV Of NATION AUT KNOWN MAN OS IMPORTED ORIENTALS ALSO REMNANTS Featuring ALEXANDER SMITH PATCRAFT MOHAWK BARWICK MASLAND > LEES SHADES - REUPHOLSTERY DRAPERIES - SLIPCOVERS BUDGET TERMS VISIT OUR SHOWROOM OR CALL FOR SHOP AT HOME SERVICE EXPERT RUG CLEANING; RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL (MADE LOCALLY) WALLPAPER - PAINTS LINOLEUMS WALL-TO-WALL CARPET INSTALLATIONS The one stop shop — Complete home decorating service Early's Carpet Sales & Service TWO LOCATIONS Route 211 § Ami—rillo 937-4404 128 S.

This is not what the “nutty groups” want. Vepco’s product and service involves pollution of our air, water and scenic resources. Yet, where in its annual report are we shareowners told how much money was spent on research and development to minimize environmental impact? How much was spent on advertising power use the company could not supply reliably? For those answers we have to turn to a report called “The Price of Power,” which says Vepco spent less than 800-thousand on R and D. Yet 9.9 million tnvpr IwpIvp Hme»c the R and D budget) was spent on advertising, including ads to convince customers its rates were low. The inditements are adding up. Vepco is failing us and our environment. It is obvious that we need new enlightenment on the part of Vepco’s management — an awakening to reality.
