Rappahannock News, June 8, 1972

Supervisors hold to $4.10 tax rate COL. E. A. McNEARwas given back $4,000 for his zoning office — to allow him to stay open an extra day a week, to keep up with development pressures — when the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors met last Thursday to adopt the budget and set the tax rate. Restoration of the funds did not affect the tax rate, however, since Chairman Newbill Miller and the other members of the Board agreed with McNear that the increased fees and increased value to the county’s assessed valuation would more than “offset” the additional sum allotted this office. Thus, the tax rate was set at $4.10. McNear was the only person to speak at the public hearing on the budget. He presented his plea for additional funds in terms of extra pressures being exerted upon the county’s zoning office. “Entrepreneurs from the Washington area are sending out scouts on a weekly basis,’’ he reported to the Supervisors. “They’re not only coming here, they’re going to Page, to Warren, to Culpeper. It’s getting to be quite a chore to keep up with these people.” McNEAR CITED a recent instance where he was approached by a man “wanting to subdivide an 800-acre tract into half acre lots. “I don’t have to tell you what this would" do to our county, without zoning.” (When he learned what Rappahannock would require — in roads, &c. — this “entrepreneur” left.) But to cope with this threat adequately, McNear added, takes time. He asked for additional funds so he could keep his office open two days a week, instead of one, and thereby be enabled to “keep up.” HE PREDICTED an increasing need for the services of his department “if we’re going to protect our county from what some of these outsiders want to do to our county.” Dealing with such additional threats as the powerline plans of Potomac Edison and Virginia Electric and Power Company placed additional strains on his office during the past year, McNear went on. “The demands have been so great, I have practically (Turn to page 3) Every carnival displays numerous prizes to be given away and the Washington Fire and Rescue benefit carnival next week is no exception.

Bridge’s safety wasn’t ’questionable’ after all The old iron truss bridge at Laurel Mills will be replaced even though it isn’t unsafe for loaded school buses — as originally stated. A HIGHWAY Department attempt to justify its plans to replace an iron truss bridge in Rappahannock County came a cropper at last Thursday’s meeting of the county’s Board of Supervisors. But if Resident Highway Engineer James Skeens appeared slightly embarrassed, he got the Supervisors ’ endorsement, anyway, for tearing down the old bridge at Laurel Mills and replacing it with a new, concrete structure. He had first wanted them to do it by a resolution including a “whereas” stating that “the bridge has questionable strength when used by a loaded school bus.” Chairman Newbill Miller expressed surprise. “I don’t understand the purpose of this resolution,” he stated, adding that in all of his experience as a Supervisor, the Highway Department had never before asked for such a resolution. “I’m not an engineer,” Miller added. “Idon’tknow whether the bridge is structurally sound or not.” “I don’t either,” said Skeens. “But if the bus weighs more than seven tons.. .That bridge is only rated for seven tons.” SUPERVISOR Betty Coates hopped on the word “questionable,” and asserted: “If my child was going over that bridge, I wouldn’t like it.” Skeens said it wasn’t only the school bus. “Thereare fire engines and stuff like that, which weigh more than a school bus, also using the bridge. He also talked of the bridge’s “safety factors,” its “impact en(Turn to page 2)

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Safety first? VIRGINIA’S HIGHWAY Department is going to tear down the old iron truss bridge at Laurel Mills and put a concrete one in its place. They wanted to, so they’re going to, and arguments for such projects can be made either way, we suppose. But we hope the Department doesn’t come up with anymore suggested resolutions for the Board of Supervisors, asking the county’s top elected officials to certify that a bridge — or road or whatever — is “questionable” where the safety of school children is concerned. Especially when just a little investigation into the subject is able to reveal that this isn’t the case at all. Now that it’s all over, maybe we shouldn’t belabor the point, but we mention it again because it does touch on a broader aspect of highway departments and road projects in general, and not just as they relate specifically to Virginia’s Department. WHAT WE MEAN is the practice of having all road-generated tax revenues earmarked only for road projects. The net effect of this is to present highway departments at every level with more money than they really need, so they go out and dream up projects so they can spend it all. We can hear the howls of some highwaymen even as this thought is put to paper, but all the poor-mouthing they can come up with won’t convince us that this isn’t the case — not with all the un-needed “improvement” projects we could catalog in this immediate vicinity of Piedmont Virginia. Why else must every grade be reduced, every winding country road straightened out, or every bridge replaced? Because of “safety”? You can believe that if you want to; from where we sit, it looks like spending to meet the level of income. BfJT WE’RE APPARENTLY stuck with this situation, at least until the entire landscape is paved over. More pressing public projects which ought to receive priority over busy-work on the roads will just have to wait — the nation’s needs for hospitals, schools, child care centers, parks, recreational opportunities, medical research, environmental protection, waste disposal, and on and on^and on. No, we’ll just have to keep on using all gasoline taxes to provide for more ways to generate more gasoline taxes. □ Barns The barn pictured last week was that belonging to William Lane, located at Fletcher’s Mill.

Bridge to be replaced From page 1 tered load” and of the “fatigue value” of such “entered impacts.” “The word ‘questionable’ is just my wording ...” Skeens went on. “... My only point is to ask your feeling...” “BUT WHY?” Newbill Miller persisted. “This is the first time this has come up. In years past, you’ve done what’s engineeringly correct.” “In years past,” observed Supervisor J. Richard Latham, “you didn’t have people that protested an improvement. ’ ’ “We want to be more responsive to the Boards,” said Skeens. (Skeens, and a lot of citizens, had been somewhat startled at the annual road hearing in Rappahannock when the planned replacement of the iron truss bridge at Laurel Mills had been objected to — on grounds of safety. The present one-lane bridge forced traffic to slow down, and thereby increase safety for children living in the area, one woman claimed.) “I clearly think the bridge needs to be built,” Skeens added, as conversation erupted around the Supervisors’ table. Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis Jr. joined Miller in questioning the “main purpose” of the resolution. Supervisors Herbert Foster and Miller were of the opinion that the “main purpose is just political.” MILLER NOTED that the original protestor had dropped her original questions, “so that’s that,” but Mrs. Coates made a motion that Skeens’s suggested resolution be passed: The vote was unanimous. Miller then turned to School Superintendent O.A. Norton. “We’ve been told officially that the bridge is questionable for safety purposes, and I don’t think we should use it any more for school bus traffic.” “You mean starting this afternoon?” Norton replied, stunned, talking of the difficulty of re-routing the buses, informing drivers in time, &c. “Then the buses should be off-loaded, and the children walked across and reboard the bus on the other side,” said Miller. “We should go on record that no more buses should cross that bridge.” “The bus isn’t even loaded when it goes across that bridge, ’ ’ Norton protested. DUCKING HIS head a little, Skeens promised that he’d get his engineers to “re-check the bridge to see if there is a danger... There may be enough of a safety factor.. “There’s only three days left” in the school year, Norton added. “But that means six possibilities that the bridge might go down,” shot back Miller. “And we’ve been told publicly the bridge is unsafe.” As Skeens and Norton continued to take turns commenting on the problem that had been created, Miller asked if they couldn’t get some weight information on the school buses themselves, and report back before the meeting was adjourned. Skeens and Norton were back some time later. Norton reported that after figuring the weight of the buses, as listed, and fi$q uring 25 children at an average weight of 100 pounds apiece, that neither of the two buses using the bridge would exceed 10,200 pounds. “Then we’ve had a whole lot of discussion about nothing,” commented Chairman Newbill Miller. SKEENS ASKED that the “questionable” phrase be deleted from the resolution, and that it be reworded to simply state: “The bridge has a seventon load limit.” “Anybody want to change his mind on the bridge?” asked Miller. Nobody did; they were agreeable to going on record in favor of a new bridge, but they also amended the resolution to take out that “questionable” business. □

County tax rate stays same From page 1 had to open a sub-office at my home,” he said. “We had 82 building permits in 1970, 112 in 1971, and they will far exceed that in 1972,” he said. McNear’s entirerequested budget came to $11,000. “The citizens of the county aren’t really paying much for what they’re getting,” he said. “In Culpeper, they pay $13,000 just for the zoning administrator, who really doesn’t even know anything about zoning.” ~CHAIRMAN Newbill Miller had opened the hearing by noting that it had been possible to hold the tax rate at the same level as last year’s because of a number of factors, foremost .among which were Confirmation service Sunday Bishop Robert F. Gibson Jr. of the Diocese of Virginia will be at Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington, Sunday, June 11 for the services of Confirmation and Holy Communion. A buffet lunch will be served in the parish hall immediately following the service for the congregation and friends. A picnic lunch will be held outside pSpr children under 12. The Women of the Church will meet Wednesday, June 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the rectory. □ “that the school age population remained essentially the same, the tax base has increased — and the tax base has increased, I think, because of our zoning and subdivision ordinances.” McNear predicted that any additional funds allocated to his office would be returned, and he cited one for-instance: “All the people who come in are basically honest, but they’ll invariably underestimate the value of the building they’re getting a permit for. If I could do a proper followup inspection and issue certificates of occupancy, then the amount extra received in tax revenue would be considerable...” After he had finished his presentation, Miller said he tended to agree. The chairman also commented: “So there won’t be any misunderstanding, I want to note that we do have provisions which allow people to subdivide. It’s not meant as something to keep people out, but to assure that developers carry as much of the load as is reasonable.” APPARENTLY feeling he had things going his tv?y, McNear also took the occasion to speak of the need for some actual funding of the county’s civil defense department, which up until now has existed largely in name only. McNear cited the danger of “natural disasters” such as the snow emergency experienced last winter in Fauquier and Loudoun counties, and thought a properly organized and funded civil defense organization in Rappahannock might be useful in coping with such DANCB^ From 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. Saturday, June 10 Sperryville Fire Hall Music by Donald Keyser and his Country __Rhythm Boys_ ienefit-Sperryville Fire Department Rescue Squad Couples only - No children under 14 years old admitted. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ADMITTANCE TO ANYONE situations, should they arise. “It was estimated that the civil defense organization in Loudoun saved as many as 25 lives,” McNear said. “What if something like that happened in Rappahannock?” He went on: “Shortly after President Nixon’s talk telling of the mining of Haiphong harbor, I got three calls asking what we are going to do about civil defense in Rappahannock.” He asked that $500 be allocated for this purpose, to finance planning, rehearsals, attendance at schools, &c. “We’re out ofthe line of nuclear attack, but what if several million people in Washington headed for Rappahannock County?” AGAIN, McNEAR got a a favorable reception. “I’m inclined to go along with him,” said Newbill Miller, who also thought the additional $4,000 being sought to keep the zoning office open an additional day per week “would be more than self-supporting” ih the additional fees brought in, and in the increased tax base that would result from followup inspections. Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis Jr. also tended to agree. All the dandy zoning laws imaginable weren’t effective “without the wherewithal to see that our investment in these ordinances is fully realized,” he noted. Supervisor J. Richard Latham made the actual motion to restore $4,000 in the zoning office’s budget; Supervisor Foster seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous. Supervisor Betty Coates moved for transfer of $500 from the $2,000 “miscellaneous” category of the budget to the civil defense office, and this, too, received auanimous approval. So did the budget in its entirety, and the tax rate. No one else spoke at the hearing, and no other spending issues were raised. □ VILLAGE SHOP Main St. - Flint Hill WHISTLES COME SEE Tues. Wed. Fri.

DADD PIIATQ ByRAPOWINGS li/ir 1 U £1/11 O Extension Agent RAINS DELAYED THE START of hay making this spring and continued wet weather is drawing out the first cutting. However, yields have been excellent with reports of two tons per acre commonplace. Traditionally, rain or no, many of us delay cutting until orchard grass is in full bloom. This may increase tonnage on the first cutting but as maturity proceeds until heads are in full bloom, protein is reduced sharply and TDN is considerably lower. Years of research and thousands of forage samples show that the best compromise for quality and yields is to make that first cutting as soon as the heads start to emerge. Delay in harvest for orchardgrass from boot to full bloom decreases the protein content by roughly 40%. The state average for protein in orchard grass hay was 9.6% last year and should be 14-16% for top quality.

Fauquier county was also among the leaders with 77 birds followed closely by Rockingham with 73, Amelia with 71 and Nelson with 70.

Robinson backs effort to speed court processes Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson has joined in sponsorship of a bill intended to speed the disposition of criminal cases in federal courts by requiring that trials be held within 60 days of arrest, except in unusual circumstances. Provision would be made for additional staffing of courts otherwise unable to meet the deadline. Prosecution and defense would be limited to two trial postponements, unless a judge decided that exceptional circumstances dictated a further delay. “It is imperative that forceful measures be taken to reduce the delays in the dispensation of justice in criminal cases,” Robinson said in a statement; “the defendant has a Constitutional right to a speedy trial, and, as defendants cannot be held indefinitely, without bail when trials are delayed, the public has the right to protection, thru prompt trials, from the further criminal activity of defendants who are granted bail.” The 7th District Congressman said he recognized that, “questions may well be raised as to the practicability of enforcing a 60-day trial deadline, but the bill makes provision for unusual circumstances, and, if it is enacted, I am confident the LIBRARY LINES VIRGINIANS, especially Rappahannockans, are known for preserving fine old traditions. The Country Store, certainly one of the finest and oldest traditions of all, is still with us, and never will be more with us than at the July 4 Super Flea Market. Yes, right on the comer of Gay and Calvert Streets, on Mrs. Mattie Ball Fletcher’s lot the Country Store will emerge. It will include a Kitchen Shop, managed by Mrs. Helen Fairfax; a Garden Shop, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Summers; and as befits a good country store, Mr. Fletcher and Mrs. Arthur Miller will have an assortment of canned goods unimaginably varied and delicious, because they will be contributed by the good housewives and outstanding cooks of Rappahannock. Every cook is requested to contribute samples of her specialty. For details about contributing canned goods, call Mrs. Arthur Miller, 675-3522. The Personality of the Bird, edited by Brandt Aymar, is a collection of stories about birds. Each story “portrays a personality trait of the individual bird who is the protagonist of the story. Some of these birds are courageous, lonely, loquacious, brave, or uncooperative; others are hero- ■ ic, courting', migratory, outcase, presumptuous, harmonious, mating, rebellious. Some of these selections are true to fact; mostly they are flights of fancy by highly imaginative and well-known authors.” They are funny, dramatic, and heartwarming. “Many lovely bird poems are interspersed %roughout the book “as well as reproductions of famous bird paintings and drawings, and photographs. “This is a book to charm and delight the millions of bird lovers, bird watchers, and bird fanciers everywhere.” We Speak No Treason by Rosemary Hawley Jarman is “an extraordinary historical novel, a broad rich tapestry of medieval life swirling about the enigmatic figure of Richard HI. His story is a spellbinding tale of high adventure filled with absolute authenticity. In We Speak No Treason Richard lives again through the eyes of his intimates: the beautiful maiden whose live brings brief joy to Richard and bitter consummation to her; Patch, the cynical jester who loves the maiden, yet serves Richard faithfully; and the man-at-arms who follows Richard and suffers vainly for the King’s cause and his good name. Against the tumult of lusty fifteenth century England, with its superstitions and witchcraft, its sumptuous dress and bloody warfare, We Speak No Treason is a fascinating and faithful portrait of one of the most controversial figures in history as he appeared to his contemporaries.” Congress will provide the necessary funds to the Administrative Office of United States Courts to staff the acceleration effort.” “Several United States District Courts already have made remarkable progress toward bringing their criminal dockets to a current status, which shows that it can be done,” he said. In addition to the requirements with respect to federal cases, state court co-operation in establishing similar, deadlines over a period of six years would be tied to state receipt of federal law enforcement assistance funds. □ *^WE HELP YOU . —DO IT YOURSELF!^ Commonwealth!

Don’t — especially — try to repeat your social security number from memory when an employer asks you for the number for his records when you start a new job. That advice comes from the Winchester social security district manager. “Your social security number has nine digits,” Mrs. Hazel F. Crumpton noted. “If you try to memorize it, you can easily give a wrong number when you try to repeat it. If you furnish a wrong social security number to an employer, it may cause difficulty in crediting your earnings to your social security record. That may eventually affect your social security benefits.” An employe’s earnings are credited to his social security number when they are reported to his employer. The employe’s earnings determine the amount of monthly social security benefits he may collect when he retires or becomes severely disabled; also the amount of benefits his family may get if he dies prematurely. “If all of your earnings are not credited to your social security number, your benefits may amount to less than they should,” Mrs. Crumpton said. Mrs. Crumpton's advice: Always carry your social security card in your purse or wallet. When starting a new job, always show your social security card to your employer and make sure he copies the number and the name from your card. “Remember,” she said. “Don’t try to memorize your social security number. It could cost you money.” If you need a number, or have lost your card, contact the Winchester office at 20 S.

RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY’S DOG Warden has a problem that his counterparts in neighboring Piedmont counties are not especially eager to share. Bears. The problem came up at the June meeting of Rappahannock’s Board of Supervisors, and the Supervisors were sympathetic with Dog Warden Jack Bruce’s problem. As Bruce explained it, a slain sheep he was called upon to investigate for a claim (the average dog claim for sheep is running around $20) exhibited all symptoms of not having been done in by dogs. “If I’ve ever seen a sheep killed by a bear, that was one,’’ Bruce reported. “A front leg was pulled off the body, and the body hadn’t even been dragged. And the lower jaw looked like it had been chopped off by an axe. No dog, no two or three dogs could have done that.” Commonwealth’s Attorney George H. Davis Jr. informed the Supervisors that there was no legal way they could sanction payment of a dog claim for bear damage. Supervisor Herbert Foster thought “the state ought to be liable for bear damage.” He recalled a similar situation with “some hogs some time ago at Sperryville.” CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Newbill Miller agreed, noting that the state actually protects bears, by setting up hunting seasons. And for all he knew, the federal government “stocked” them Minor wreck A minor single - car crash which occurred June 4 at 3:30 p.m. was reported by investigating officer W. A. Bun tin. The wreck happened on Route 626 near Washington and involved Bryan Jeffrey Ross of Nokesville operating a 65 Fiat convertible. Ross failed to negotiate a curve at a bridge and skidded into a fence post. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $400, and there was slight damage to the post and fence. □ 100 Yr.

MARSH REALTY Manassas 361-6767 in the Skyline Drive National Park which adjoins Rappahannock. Foster suggested that a letter be written to the state game commission — and to federal officials too, if necessary — to express the county’s feeling that these governmental bodies should be willing to stand liable for damage caused by “their” bears. GAME WARDEN BRUCE described again the scene that had confronted him: “There is no way even two or three dogs could have pulled a leg off a sheep without moving it.” Foster added some details of what a bear had done to “a hundred-pound shoat at Sperryville.” With everyone agreeing, Davis was directed to “assert the county’s belife that the state ought to be responsible for what the bears do.” Federal park authorities will also receive letters. Another claim for two sheep was also turned down when Warden Bruce reported that the owner’s own dog had done the damage. CHAIRMAN MILLER ALSO announced that only funds sufficient for about 30 more days remain in the dog claim fund. He thought Rappahannock citizens ought to be aware of the approaching cut-off point. Attorney Davis advised that when the funds are depleted, persons can still make claims. They’ll just have to wait until next year to collect. They’ll have first priority on next year’s funds, however. □ ON-THE-GO FOOT CONTROL 8 hp FORD 85 Lawn Tractor WITH HYDROSTATIC DRIVE IFOR O^aST 85 LAWN TRACTOR . Your best buy in an 8 hp. tractor .

Early farm payments need early certification SET - ASIDE payments will begin promptly with the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1 for farm program participants who have made early certification of compliance in the 1972 feed grain and wheat set-aside programs. During July, approximately 100 percent of the 128 county farmers enrolled in the set-aside farm programs probably will receive payment checks, according to an estimate by T.R. Taylor, Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee. Farm program payments are dependent upon produ cer certification. However, no one should make certification until he knows he is in compliance. When a farmer certifies compliance, he reports the exact acreage of his setaside land and program crops and designates the location of his set-aside acreage on a photocopy of his farmland. He also certifies that he has complied and will continue to comply with all program regulations. Certification is made at the ASCS county office. AS SOON as a farmer certifies, ASCS begins processing for his program payments. Payments can not be made before July l^ut the law provides they must be made as soon as possible thereafter. Also as soon as a farmer certifies, his farm is subject to spot-check for compliance. Final certification date in Rappahannock is June 30. □ NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC The Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries at a meeting held in Richmond, Virginia, on May 5, 1972, adopted the following amended or new regulations pursuant to Sections 29-125, 29126 and 29-127 of the Code of Virginia, to become effective July 1, 1972.

Virginia ranks first in forest tree planting Virginia ranks first in the Nation in the planting of trees for reforestation of privately owned forest lartdMore than 32,500 acres were planted with commercially important forest tree seedlings. This acreage does not include the 35,000 acres planted by large forest industries, the 3,000 acres planted on Federally owned lands, or the 1,400 acres planted on state owned land. The grand total for reforesting in the Old Dominion in 1971 amounts to 72, 000 acres. This information from State Forester George Dean was taken from a national survey of the 1971 reforestation efforts of private, government, and large forest industry reports. During the 1972 winter and spring planting season, Virginians planted more than 72,500 acres. “Since we haven’t received the naHOMECOMING AT WILLIS CHAPEL Sunday, July 2, will be homecoming time at Willis United Methodist Chapel in Huntly.

However, I am confident Virginia continues to be among the national leaders,” said Dean. Another first for Virginia is the record set by the Virginia Division of Forestry tree nursery in New Kent County. For the past several years the New Kent Nursery has produced, packaged, and shipped more forest tree seedlings than any other state operated nursery in the Nation. Loblolly pine is the tree species in most demand, accounting for over 85% of the Division of Forestry seedling sales. “This is not unusual and is highly Bible schools Vacation Bible School at Woodville Baptist Church will start June 12 and continue thru June 16 each evening from 7 to 9 p.m. All children of the community are invited to attend.

We are harvesting 15% more pine timber than we are growing, ’ ’ cautioned Dean. To keep pace with the demands of the paper and lumber consuming public, Virginia’s reforestation efforts should be doubled. “Furthermore,” said Dean, “Virginia’s forest oriented industry i&our second largest industry and is dependent upon the forests for its supply of raw material. If we are to maintain a healthy economy, we must grow the timber required.” “Not to be overlooked is the wildlife aspect of tree planting,” reports Dean. “I am pleased that the landowners have shown so much interest in the autumn olive seedlings produced at our nurseries. Autumn olive is a highly desirable shrub for many species of wildlife. Over 335,000 autumn olive trees have been planted in Virginia in the past several years and 300,000 plants will be available for landowners this coming winter.

We must not only plant more trees but also manage our forests better,” warned Dean. “We must grow more wood volume on fewer acres.

THE POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY OF VIRGINIA” Si Sez “THE NATURAL SPAN of a man’s life is 70 years, if he is strong and healthy and lives to be older ’ than that allotted time, he is living on borrowed time.” That “borrowed time” caused some questions in my mind till I accepted the doctrine of re-incarnation. I remember Nelson Eddy singing, “I love life, I want to live.” So, why would the Giver of Life borrow a part of one’s life to give to another? It does not seem to be in accord with a sense of divine justice, to say that we borrow it from one of the soul’s numerous lives does. I’ve voiced a desire to ‘live in the harness’ right up to the very end, eat a hearty supper, say my prayers, fall asleep as usual, and wake up in heaven. That is my desire. I like the way an unknown poet expresses his. Oh, I am not planning to take that final trip till I get the call — just listening. “I have lived, I have loved, I have laughed, Life’s golden wine I have quaffed. And drank to its golden lees. If my life should end with the evening breeze I’m ahead, far ahead of the game. Oh Great God above, God of light and of love, Let me not die with slow pulse and pain Like a clock running down in the night. When my time comes to depart Let me go when the morning is bright, Let me go with a song in my heart.” □ Amissville Midgets win The Amissville Midgets oaseball team, associated with the Southern Division League, began a sparkling season with two victories in as many games. The /V’s took the opener with Vint Hill Tigers May 27 for a wide margin score of 12-1. Kenny Haines was the winning pitcher. In a close 6-5 game the Amissville group was on top* with Kenny Haines again on the mound as they faced the Vint Hill Rebels. The Midgets will play Calverton at Calverton on June 10 at 2 p.m. The team is sponsored by the Amissville Ruritan Club and is coached by Stanley Settle with Billy Dodson assisting. □ MADISON LIVESTOCK MARKET, INC.
