Volume XXVI, Number 32 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1975 FIFTEEN CENTS Saving energy Superhighways, agri-business criticized By PEKAY PETTUS TWO “obvious” steps that could be taken to alleviate the “energy crisis” would be to stop building interstate highways, and encourage small farms instead of giant “agribusiness” operations. These were among the suggestions made by Wilson Clark when he spoke at Rappahannock Elementary School last Friday night. Clark’s talk was the first in a series of summer “energy lectures” sponsored by the Nethers Community School of Rappahannock. Wilson Clark, 28, is a co-director of the Environmental Policy Institute in Washington, D.C. His articles on the social and environmental as well as technical aspects of energy use appear fre quently in national magazines. He has testified before Congressional committees and lectured at universities from Harvard to Florida. Clark’s comment on the interstate highway system followed a question from Fauquier farmer William DuVall. “What would be the single thing that we could do that would most help us out of the energy crisis?’’ DuVall asked. “Stop building interstate highways,” Clark quickly answered. America’s system of interstate highways is the most mammoth public works program in history of mankind, Clark said, and interstate highways are the single factor most responsible for fostering America’s dependence upon the automobile, encouraging people to live miles away from where they work, he said. 21 teaching years come to an end “I HAVE always taught. Whatever I knew, I always passed it on.” This is the positive approach to life manifested by Miss Elsie Dodson of Flint Hill, a retiring school teacher. She has just completed 21 years of teaching in elementary schools, all in Rappahannock County. ‘‘Whether it was reading, writing and arithmetic, how to smock a dress or bake a pie, I’ve always shared knowledge. It seems to me we need to do more of that— trade work as well as ideas.” Miss Elsie decided she was old enough to retire, over 65. She also felt that her eyesight might prevent her from doing a good job of teaching. “If I can’t do a good job, I won’t do it at all,” she said. “You know, it took me 30 years to get a degree and now I need only three hours to complete graduate work at the University of Virginia.” Miss Elsie attended Madison College in Harrisonburg in 1927 and 1928. Her mother died and the depression evolved, so she stopped school to help with the three younger members of the family. She secured a teaching position, then realized how very much she needed her degree. She spent seven summers, whenever she could manage, in college, took a half-year .sabbatical from teaching and obtained some credits through television courses on Saturdays. The TV classes were fun, she said, and at their conclusion she went to American University in D.C. for the examinations which gave her the credits at Madison College toward her degree in elementary education. She finally received her degree in 1964. MISS ELSIE was born in Flint Hill, then her family moved several times for her father worked with a sawmill. This required moving to follow the jobs. Most of her early schooling was acquired in Warren County and she graduated from that high school in a class of 47 members. One of her high school teachers was Q.D. Gasque, who eventually became her top level administrator, Superintendent of the RappahannockWarren school system. “I think I was bad news, for each school in which I taught closed, most of them the year following my tenure. Flint Hill Elementary was my first assignment, followed by Forest Grove. A couple of years after leaving Flint Hill that facility was closed. Consolidation really was the cause, not I.“ “Five years spent at Forest Grove in the two-room school where I was associated with the late Dorothy Spicer were almost See Page 4 “MY GUESS is that within 30 years, America’s interstates will be a bigger landmark than the pyramids and will have about the same functional value,’’ Clark said. But he added that he doubted such a change in the pattern of energy consumption would come without a major catastrophe. Though the automobile has become everyone’s favorite whipping boy—including his own, Clark admitted—another major and wasteful consumer of petroleum products is modern agriculture. Twentieth century agriculture has m" resulted in a decrease ol small multi-crop farms and more huge agri-business farming operations. Clark said many farms in the Midwest and Southern California have several square miles covered by one crop. Mammoth machines are used to plant, cultivate and harvest these crops. Diversity of plant life, one of nature’s methods for keeping the pest population down, is thwarted by such modern single crop agriculturists, so they have to rely on pesticides. The development See Page 8 Miss Elsie Dodson has retired after teaching in the Rappahannock Public School System for 21 years. She will spend her time on their 100 acre farm near Flint Hill where she raises Hereford cattle. She lives with her sister-in-law and family, Mrs. James Dodson.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washu«ten (75-3349 Powerline lessons NOW THAT the powerline fight has gone as far as it has it is only fitting that the legal questions should be carried to the bitter end. Important questions still remain, especially about Vepco’s projections of future needs and, therefore, the need for additional powerline corridors. But having said this, it would be less than candid of us not to note that the odds in favor of a successful conclusion to this fight are not particularly bright. The record of the State Corporation Commission in being kind to the cause of big business and advocates of “growth” is matched only by that of the State Supreme Court. A court which repeatedly rules, in effect, that local governments cannot control anyone who wants to transform localities in the name of “growth” and “progress” does not leave much room for optimism in this powerline fight. The lesson being brought home to Rappahannock, Fauquier and other affected counties is a harsh one, but we trust that it is being taken to heart. The lesson is that local ■ citizens must be ever vigilant for the schemes of “growth” and “change” and “progress” which contain elements for transforming what is now a beautiful, gracious and satisfying way of life into something patched with parking lots and quarter acre lots, stitched together by hideous powerlines. TO GUARD against these things, citizens must make sure not only that their local officials are fully cognizant of the heritage that has been entrusted to their care, but that their representatives in Richmond are equally keen to what the people want, as opposed to corporations and paving machine manufacturers. Unfortunately, more often our legislators hear only from the corporations and the paving machine people, and get distressed messages from the folks back home only when it is too late. It will be nice if the continuing optimism of some of the powerline opponents is borne out by events. But if not, let us not despair to the point of giving up all such fights. Let’s make sure something like it doesn’t ever happen again.□ LIBRARY LINES A number of new books have been added to the collection of the Rappahannock Library, and readers interested in sampling the lot might like to start with “How to Read a Book” by Adler and VanDoren. After that, they might like to try some of these novels: . “Hiding Place” by Wilcox; “The Mallen Streak” and “The Mallen Girl” by Cookson; “The Stepford Wives” by Levin; “A Woman in the House” by Barrett; “A Month of Sundays” by Updike; “The Se ven Per-Cent Solution” by Mayer, and “Spendthrift” by Whitney. Many more volumes have also been acquired, and the library has even prepared a selection of “whimsies,” designed to provide a source of “pleasant little boohs for hammock reading.” The best ever Booh Sale will be held on the Fourth of July. Donations of boohs, hardbacks or paperbacks, are being accepted.U “Close-ups” Gilbert Cosden of Sperryville correctly identified the close-up last week as a bastard double cut file. This was a difficult one and only two other readers named the object. They were Everett S. Webb and Susan Werner. Mr. Cosden will receive a free subscription to the Rappahannock News. Here is another. Bring or mail replies to the Rappahannock News, Box 38, Washington, Va. 22747. Culpeper Bicentennial CULPEPER — Gov. Mills E.

She is having therapy weekly at Fairfax Hospital to recover use of her hands which received much of the injury. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Grigsby of Sperryville.D Outdoor enjoyment BY JIM BANKSTON Game Warden WITH the arrival of warmer weather, we begin to think about outdoor activities and summer vacations. These outings bring the individual into contact with the plants and animals in our forests. Enjoying the woods though sometimes leads to problems such as poison ivy, oak or sumac. Many animals are encountered on these jaunts into the forests. As the direct result of human handling, many animals are needlessly condemned to death. Plants and wildlife should be left in the woods for everyone to enjoy and never brought home. Unfamiliar plants can lead to rashes or allergies if handled. Fawns, baby birds or other wildlife may be abandoned or cause serious injury to the individual trying to handle the “poor lost creature.” The safest and best way to enjoy the outdoors is to look at it but not to touch. □

For three years “Save Rappahannock” has been the fighting slogan carried on our vehicles in the long battle to block the threatened Vepco powerline. Last month the State Corporation Commission in Richmond granted Vepco the permit it sought. We lost a big round. Should we now give up? Just roll over and let the army of bulldizers gouge out much of our most precious scenic and historic lands, surrender to the high steel towers that would permanently disfigure the landscape, surrender to the crackling tangle of electric blacksnakes above ground and to the projected huge natural gas mains below ground that would pose a constant hazard to our health and welfare?

Teacher retires From Page 1 perfect. The patrons of the area couldn’t have been more pleasant. They were good people,” she said. “Forest Grove closed and I was transferred to Washington Elementary. During my last year there Rappahannock County schools were integrated. I taught a fourth grade unit along with Dorothy Butler of Sperryville and we were housed in the small building formerly used as an agriculture class shop.” “WE BOTH learned a lot. What good friends we grew to be and how good it was for us. Awkward at first—but good for her and good for me. We just shed the skin and went on from there,” said Miss Elsie. The completely consolidated Rappahannock County Elementary School emerged in 1968. This is the single elementary school in the county and houses about 800 students. Miss Elsie felt the most negative aspect of consolidation is the necessity of extremely regimented and supervised activities. It allows little or no opportunity for children socializing on different grade levels. TO THE query, “what are you going to do now?” she replied; “First, I am going to swap some time with a young boy who needs extra tutoring. I can help him and there are things here on the farm he can do for me. There are many well educated people in Rappahannock and many children who need extra school help. To exchange time would benefit both sides and perhaps help to elim_ inate school dropouts. “The Hereford cattle, and I want a few more, the garden and house will keep me busy. However, I don’t want to lose touch with people. I like people and remember when we would have at least 25 relatives and friends drop in during a Sunday afternoon. I’d like to regenerate some of that. I enjoy some television but 1 think too many people, young and old, spend too much time viewing and not enough time reading. “Nothing takes the place of reading and absorbing the written word. As a child we studied our lessons then mother gave us an oral checkup. We were excused if we missed a question once, but if the same one was missed again, mother would pause from her handwork and the ‘dunce’ got thumped on the head with a thimbled middle finger.” MISS ELSIE lives with her sister-in-law and family on a 100plus acre farm with a long lane. She said in bad weather, snow particularly, the neighbors have been most helpful. She has never missed school and retired with a hundred days of accumulated leave. “I’ll get paid for this and it will come in handy to fix my lane. It needs working right now.” The shadows of the mountain fell across the fields. The white frame farm house nestled under the giant oaks and the wind rustled the leaves. Miss Elsie took a roast of beef from the freezer and pressed it into my hand. “We have to share,” she said. “I kill a beef every year.”—Sarah Latham 4th activities The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP) will sponsor daytime activities in Washington, Va. on July 4 including a flea market, puppet show, foods, crafts demonstration, auction, contests and entertainment.

Baumgardner offers resignation 6y pekay pettus FANNING BAUMGARDNER has resigned as Rappahannock County’s assistant zoning administrator, effective June 12. Baumgardner would not disclose the contents of the letter he sent to each of the Supervisors and would not give the reasons for his resignation. “Whatever is going to come out about it, I’d rather have come fi^m them,” he said. But it is understood that Baumgardner’s resignation was prompted, at least in part, by a conflict within the zoning office, specifically concerning the proposed development of the ski area. Owners of the bankrupt ski area have petitioned the court for permission to sell the property. Prospective buyers of the larger tract have indicated they want to develop the ski area into a yearround commercial recreation project. Baumgardner and Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis reviewed the prospective buyers’ plans for the ski area and advised them that they would have to apply for a special use permit and present a site development plan, as required by county ordinances. The use permit would require a public hearing. It was said that county zoning administrator Evan McNear, who is a part owner of the ski area, disagreed, although he denies these reports. IT WAS after this that Baumgardner drafted his letter to the Supervisors. In the letter, Baumgardner said he will be glad to continue to serve as county engineer, building inspector and secretary to the planning commission, if the Supervisors, the chairman of the Planning Commission and the chairman of the county Water and Sanitation Authority wish him to do so. If he does continue to hold these jobs, Baumgardner said he will need to have access to the files and secretarial sevices of the zoning office.□ EVAN MCNEAR denied that he and Baumgardner had clashed over requiring the use permit and site development plan. He noted that the Rappahannock Ski Corporation, the current owners of the ski area, have placed an ad in the Rappa* hannock News this week, requesting a special use permit to place “temporary recreational vehicles” at the ski area. Though the current owners of the ski area are requesting the special use permit, they are doing so because the prospective buyers have asked them to do so. “The sale of the ski area depends on it,” McNear said. McNear said he didn’t know the details of the use permit application. “But whatever you say, make sure that it is for recreational campers, not mobile homes or trailers,” he said. McNear said the buyers were all set to purchase the ski area until they got a number of calls from Rappahannock county people who said they’d heard the new owners of the ski area would bring in a lot of mobile homes. “Then they became frightened and backed off." he said. McNear said that he and Baumgardner have had no disagreements over the ski area because he (McNear) has not been involved in the discussion, since he is a part owner of the ski area. "I’ve had nothing to say about it. I have been out of it from the start because I would have a conflict of interest. The only way I know about this us-> permit request is that it came through the zoning office," tie said. McNear said a lot of people have the wrong opinion of what the new owners would do with the ski area, and that many of them have made no effort to find out the truth. “It’s always good sport to make trouble over zoning, you know,’’ he said.u Summer funshops THE Rappahannock Extension Office is holding summer funshops for all children ages 8 and up. These activities are under the direction of Miss Kathy Dwyer, a work-study student working for V.P.I. The objectives of the funshops is “to provide some sort of entertainment for children who have working parents or simply those wanting something to do.” The shops begin at 10 and last until approximately 1. The children will work on a variety of crafts during the morning then have lunch and end the activities with games. However, Miss Dwyer needs several adult leaders to aid her in these funshops. There are no specific talents needed in order to help, only the desire to work with children. For information call 675-3619. THE following is a calendar of the various funshops for July and August: Washington: Every Tuesday at V.P.I. Extension Office. Chester Gap: Every Wednesday at Chester Gap fire Hall. Amissville: July 3, 17, 31, August 7, 21, at Amissville Methodist Church. Flint Hill: June 30, July 14, 28, August 11, 25, at Flint Hill Fire Hall. Shooting sports symposium is set A symposium to be held in conjunction with the July 1975 quarterly meeting of the Virginia Wildlife Federation’s Board of Directors’s meeting will feature the subject of “Firearms, the Shooting Sports and Their Future In the United Stales.” Scheduled for July 19, the symposium will be conducted in the Holiday Inn (East) in Winchester.

Lecture on solar energy Frum Page 1 of pesticides requires large amounts of petroleum products, as does the development of fertilizers. The theme of modern agriculture has been on the “green revolution,”- to turn previously unusable tracts of land into the nation’s breadbasket, all accomplished only through dependence on petroleum products. Agriculture continues to be subsidized to a greater and greater degree with fossil fuels. For every one calorie of food consumed by Americans., 20 calories have been used to produce it, Clark said. The key to real energy conservation in this area is to encourage more small farms, Clark said, to rely on plant diversity, not pesticides, to defeat the insects, and smaller crop areas that don’t have to be harvested by huge machines. WILSON CLARK is also not convinced that the development of nuclear power is the panacea many of its boosters claim it to be. The federal government, many public utilities such as Vepco, and several corporations are advocating nuclear power as the ultimate solution to the energy shortage, Clark said. They claim the development of nuclear power will mean the United States will no longer have to import foreign fossil fuels. But the development of nuclear power is no solution, only a perpetuation of the same problem in a different guise, Clark said. And in addition, nuclear power, specifically breeder reactors, will bring about environmental and health hazards not yet dreamed of, he said. According to some nuclear power boosters, nuclear plants will mean that we are no longer so dependent upon the importation of fossil fuels. But uranium, which is necessary to run nuclear plants, is also a mined fuel and thus an unrenewable resource. Domestic supplies of uranium will be ex hausted by the mid-1980s, if the nuclear plants now planned are put into operation, Clark said. So we will be forced to import uranium, and the uranium “cartel” is already busy, he said. During the past 18 months, when the public began to look toward nuclear power, the price of uranium increased fivefold, “BY THE time nuclear plants begin to offer a return on the huge investment spent in developing them, we will have to import uranium,” Clark predicted. One solution to this future uranium shortage is to build “breeder reactors,” Clark said. Supposedly, , these reactors can “breed” or create fuel. “But this is one more phase the government has used to convince the public we’ve finally invented perpetual motion,” Clark said. But the chief disadvantage of the breeder reactor, according to Clark, is that plutonium is produced in the process. Plutonium is a radioactive substance which is capable of “explosive fission.” It is the most toxic substance yet known, Clark said, and has a “half life' of 24,000 years, which means it must be perpetually stored to prevent its release in the environment. • Plutonium is cooled, before it is stored, with liquid sodium, Clark said,'''and will explode if it comes in contact with water. The government, and other nuclear power boosters, claim that plutonium can be stored safely. Perhaps. Clark said, "but I'm conservative in my estimation of science and technology. And I know that human beings will be operating these plants.” At best, Clark said, the breeder reactors will open a "Pandora's Box. Considering the dangerous aspects of the breeder reactors, which will be necessary in order to avoid importing uranium, who's pushing so hard for nuclear power? Clark was asked.

We are now consuming in one year an amount of fossil fuels that it took 100 million years to create. And the use of petroleum products has already exceeded the rate predicted for 1980. /Some people looked to the construction of the Alaska pipeline as a partial solution to the problem of America’s dependence upon foreign sources of oil. But if America relied solely on Alaskan oil, importing' nothing from the Mid-east or. Venezuela, the Alaskan oil field would be depleted in just one year, Clark said. “The numbers are against us if we continue this model of civilization—big highways, big farms...,” Clark said. “We’ve got to learn to think small.” ' We’ve celebrated the skyscraper as a symbol of progress, architecturally and technically, Clark said. But these buildings have not been designed with energy conservation in mind. The World Trade Center consumes the same amount of energy as some entire cities about the size of Stanford, Conn., Clark said. There has never been a more efficient way to transport either people or goods than by train, Clark said, commenting, a bit sadly, that most of America’s rail system is out of date and many of the engines are “in museums; we junked that system.’’ The fossil fuel energy we use is becoming less and less “concentrated,” Clark said. We must drill deeper and deeper for oil and it cost us more than ever to bring it to the surface. “Our economy is based on bringing fuel to the surface and converting it into dollars. But we are putting more and more dollars into the process,” he said. The answer to all this, according to Wilson Clark, is to develop sources of “renewable” energysolar and wind power. Here the advice “think small” applies. Nuclear power can only be developed through a great deal of technology and money; it's not exactly a backyard project. But individuals can work toward building solar houses and w indmills, Clark said. And the answer for large scale production of power from the sun and wind could very well be developed by a backyard hobbyist. “We must not continue to think with our blinders on that any solution will require major technological discoveries,” Clark said. WILSON CLARK said one of his favorite schemes for decreasing fuel consumption is the‘‘dynaship, a freighter powered by sail.” The dyna-ship idea was developed by a retired designer for Shell Oil. It’s not implausible, Clark said. Satellites now give us access to more detailed and accurate weather information than ever before, The designer of the dyna-ship estimates that that craft would use only 5% of the energy now used by freighters in the North Atlantic shipping lanes and could take 15% of the time off the trip, Clark is especially interested in the architectural application of solar power. “A tremendous amount of intelligence and understanding of solar power was used in indigenous architecture,” he said. The cliff houses of the Indians in Mesa Verde, N.M. took advantage of the sun’s location in winter and summer and its special reflection toward their cliff during each season to help with the natural cooling and heating of interior spaces. By contrast, Clark said, a popular solution for housing 20th century Americans is the ‘‘mobile home,” designed with no particular location or climate in mind, and always ready to be tugged, by auto, down the highway to a' new location. One ‘‘interesting lesson on the environment” noted by Clark: The drilling of the first oil well,- in 1859 in Pennsylvania, came during a severe shortage of whale oil, since the whale population was heavily hunted, and dwindling. ‘‘It’s possible, that if oil hadn’t been discovered when it was, there would be no whales for the environmentalists to worry about now,” he said.D Farm accident Ian Pryde of Blue Rock Farm near Washington sustained serious injury Saturday, June 7 when he was run over by his farm tractor. Mr. Pryde was preparing to mow hay in the field. As he put hts hand on the steering wheel of the tractor and attempted to step up to the seat, the wheels turned and the large machine started to roll. Mr. Pryde was thrown to the ground and the large back wheel ran completely over his body. He sustained six broken ribs and a punctured lung, and was bruised from his waist to neck.

State’s economic indicators ECONOMIC conditions were "much improved" in Virginia in April as 14 of the 18 indicators used to measure the state's economv showed improvement over March, according to J. Gordon Clifford, editor of the Virginia Employment Commission's Economic Indicators magazine. In March, six indicators rose, 11 declined and one was unchanged. Eive of the six leading indicators —those which show economic chan ges earliest — improved in April over March. They included: the average workweek for manufacturing production workers, up to 38.6 hours from 37.9 hours in March; and nonfarm job placements, which rose by 27.7 percent as the VEC found some 6,000 jobs for people. Also showing improvement were the total hiring rate,, which rose to 41 per 1,000 employes from 29 per 1,000 in March, and average weekly initial claims for unemployment com Summer pre-school THE WARREN and Rappahannock County School Boards have received word from the Virginia State Department of Education that their application to conduct a summer pre-school program under Title I of P.L. 93-380, has been approved. The pre-school program will be conducted at the E. Wilson Morrison Elementary School, in Warren County and in Rappahannock Elementary School in Rappahannock County. The program will begin on June 30 and end July 24, school hours will be 9 a.m. until noon daily, including July 4th. Letters have been mailed to all parents who have registered their children for the pre-school program. The letters contain a leter explaining the program, a copy of bus routes, and an assignment card. THE assignment card is the child’s identification card and is to be returned to the school on the first day that the child attends pre-school. Parents are en couraged to let their children ride the bus every day, including the first day. This will make it easier for school personnel to properly identify and assign each child. If there are questions concerning the pre-school program in Warren County call Nolan Gregory at 635-4188 and in Rappahannock County Buddy Carter, 987-8259.L Dean’s list Drucilla Graves Davis of Washington, Va., has been named to the second semester Dean’s List for academic achievement at Mary W/ashington College in Fredericksburg.

Activity among indicators which reflect the current state of the economy suggests "that the recession is not Quite ended. However there were signs of a bottoming out,’’ Gifford said. Among these indicators is the total unemployment rate which edged up to an adjusted 7 per cent from 6.9 per cent in March. JOB Openings received by the VED were up by 17.5 per cent, and new business incorporations rose by 27.8 per cent. Average weekly earnings of manufacturing production workers rose to $152. 35, up from $150.98 in March. The valuation of building permits issued jumped by 220.6 per cent. Most of the increase, however, Gifford explained, was in the Norfolk-Portsmouth area. Over-the-year comparisons were slightly better in April than in March. Six of the indicators were above their year-ago levels in April; only four were up in March, u Charles Moore has been assigned to Rappahannock County as a trooper with the Virginia Department of State Police.
