Rappahannock News, March 11, 1976

W76 Volume XXVII, Number 17 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1976 FIFTEEN CENTS Four indicted on 68 charges A GRAND JURY in Rappahannock County Circuit Court which convened Monday morning for the March term handed down a total of 68 indictments on four people, one from Rappahannock and three from Page County. They are William Michael Foster of Flint Hill, Isaac Eugene Goode and his wife, Hazel Frances Goode and Carrol William (Duke) Short, all of Stanley in Page County. Indictments included breaking and entering, grand larceny and conspiracy, and stemmed from an investigation instituted by Trooper J. A. Watson last July. Foster was indicted for breaking and entering Rappahannock County High School on June 1 and again July 5; breaking and entering the home of William Edward Williams at Chester Gap on July 1 and July 14; Norman Boyum on July 14; breaking and entering Bernard J. Viei&ing’s home at Flint Hill J[uly 21 and the same day breaking and entering the home of Alfred Fadley at Chester Gap. He was cited on 26 counts. Foster had already been convicted to the theft of a garden tractor belonging to Mrs. Margaret Smith of Flint Hill. He was charged with this offense when Trooper Watson stopped him enroute to Page County with the tractor on July 27, last year. Also involved in this were two juveniles from Rappahannock who will be taken into Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court here and perhaps other counties. A LARGE amount of stolen property was recovered at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Goode after search warrants were secured and the dwelling raided. One search took place November 23 and a second one on December 5, 1975. Among things recovered were tools taken from the local high school, a sander and stereo system belonging to Vierling, grandfather’s clock, guns and other household articles from the Williams residence, said Watson. The Goodes were charged with numerous counts of conspiracy and several of breaking and enterings and grand larceny. Each of them ' were cited 16 times. Short was charged on ten counts in Rappahannock, he said. Mr. Goode and Short are presently under indictment in Page for arson and breaking and entering. The Goodes are awaiting a preliminary hearing in Page for two counts each of receiving stolen property taken from Rockingham, Rockbridge, Page and Rappahannock counties, said the officer. AT THE last term of the Warren County grand jury four indictments were handed down against Foster, one for breaking and entering and three for grand larceny, according to Watson. The investigation continues, said Trooper Watson who has been assisted by State Investigator Cecil Handy of Culpeper. As infor mation is secured and cases developed they will be brought before grand juries in respective areas. □ Mrs. L. J. Turners home and surroundings was truly a winter wonderland after the spring snow which pelted the area Tuesday. The wet snow held on tenaciously but high temperatures Wednesday did away with much of the accumulation. To orchardists, snow is a blessing WARM temperatures in February and early March brought out some buds on trees and early spring flowers. The weather had almost everyone believing that winter had gasped its last. But as people enjoyed the warm weather that sent temperatures into the high 70s some days, area orchardists wished that the winter cold would return. H.B. Wood of Woodville in Rappahannock County said that the warmth has caused apple trees in the area to be at least one month ahead in their bud development. The snow that came to the area on Tuesday has been a real blessing because it slowed the development down, he said. Wood also thought that the cold temperature that came with the snow probably did not hurt the trees. “It helps hold them back,’’ said Wood about the snow. “It provides a cover for them. Of course, the snow won’t last for ever,’’ he added, warning that really cold temperatures now could cause a lot of tree damage. Wood said that during a normal winter and spring, apple trees blossom sometime The seniors cast in the play, “Pillow Talk”, which will be presented this Friday and Saturday nights include Ruby Faye Dunn, Nina Metzinger,'Steve Payne, Diane Brady, Tim Metzinger, Beverly Brown, Tom Metzinger, Raye Rector, Mike Smoot, Pat Dodson, Mike Tupper, Sue Titchenell, Cindy Cumins, Cindy Beebe, Carolyn Dodson, Violet Mae Scott, Linda Atkins and Dale Frye. after mid April. Wood is also worried because orchardists had a bad market this past year. The problem, however, was not because of too few apples, but too many. Because of the glut of apples this year, apple prices dropped to the lowest they have been for almost a quarter of a century. HERBERT FOSTER, another orchardist in Rappahannock, is also worried about his apple crop. Foster estimates that if the orchards get a killing frost now it could kill up to half the buds. He feared that some buds could have been hurt in early January when the temperatures dropped to zero. If the orchards do suffer a killing frost, Foster said that the “canners won’t have enough apples next fall.” He said that there are still many apples in storage, but they wouldn’t be enough. The best temperature for the remainder of March would be between :S5 arid 39 degrees, said Foster. He added that if orchardists have another bad year il could be really serious. “Tries* apple people are really hard pressed," he said. Labor, fuel and equipment costs have gone up while apple prices have dropped, Foster observed.

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 475-3349 The growth question THERE’S AN INTERESTING example over in Fauquier County of how development pressures can affect everybody that should be regarded with . interest by everyone who cherishes Rappahannock and what it stands for. People in Fauquier are at odds over a proposed super highway, 1-66, and especially about the great number of interchanges projected for that road over a relatively short stretch of what is now cattle and horse country. People are out circulating petitions for and against the interchanges—but not especially, against the highway—and one pro-highway petitioner put his case rather plaintively, and in a manner that has been heard often from proponents of this particular brand of “progress.” He wants to see developinent which will bring such things as restaurants, so he can buy a cup of coffee locally (in Marshall, the desire commodity, according to testimony at a public hearing, was a pizza; in Warrenton, it’s “something to do”). He named some more supposed amenities of life in a larger community, but the cup of coffee summed up his argument. Unfortunately, the cup of coffee argument also illustrates what’s wrong with an interstate highway, or anything which . threatens to promote large-scale, fast development. It’s not the highway itself, or a specific factory of subdivision, that create so many problems, is the impetus they give to pressures for total transformation of this beautiful land into just another drab version of dreary suburbia. AND THAT TRANSFORMATION won’t come in a neat, coffee-cup sized container, nor will it stop with that nice little restaurant. It’ll sprawl all over the landscape, and send shock waves echoing across the entire area. And once the development mania grips a once rural county, there’s no stopping it. Everybody wants to get on the bandwagon. Unhappily, what they get instead are increased traffic, instant communities of townhouses and other quick housing types, gaudy “franchise” operations that take away local business, rising tax rates (yes, rising tax rates, as the experience of every county which lias experienced large scale growth has shown) and crowded schools, pressures for more expensive county services, traffic jams on country roads—in short, all the ills of suburbia. If it stopped at the coffee house, we might be inclined to agree that a little bit of growth would be nice. But it doesn’t, and the real question is whether we want this part of the Piedmont to remain rural and liveable, or do we want to trade in a beautiful, healthy, inspiring environment for just another heaping of junk contemporary life?D Bi-Centennial An open meeting will be held to plan Rappahannock County’s 4th of July Bi-Centennial celebration. A planning committee under the overall chairmanship of Captain Howard Holschuh will meet at 8 p.m. Monday, March 15, in the county court house in Washington, Va., to begin drawingtq>a schedule of events. Anyone wishing to volunteer time, talents, or suggestions is invited to attend. The theme of the celebration will be a “country lair” with colonial games and crafts, booths and exhibits, music and food, all topped off by the traditional 4th of July fireworks. Specific suggestions from residents of the county will be solicited at the meeting. “We'need plenty of good ideas to make this the best celebration ever. A sure way to make certain your idea is being considered is to attend Monday’s meeting,” said Capt. Holschuh.G Close-Up The closeup last week, a toothbrush, was identified by a number of readers including Dorothy Hamm of Culpeper whose name was drawn from the contest entries.

Miller and Son of Washington, Virginia had the highest performance tested bull of all breeds at the 18th Annual B. C. I. A. Sale at Culpeper Enterprises on Friday, March 5. This Angus bull, Ginger Hill Queenston 5, had the highest weaning and yearling weight of all the 118 bulls sold. This bull had a 205 day adjusted weight of 687 pounds and a 365 day adjusted weight of 1166 pounds. Hip height, an excellent indication of frame size, was 49.5 inches and tied with a bull consigned by Randall Updike for the tallest bull in the sale. Robert Anderson, Woodville, Va. had the second highest performing Angus bull on test. Dynamo of Bleak Hill had a weaning weight of 632 and a yearly weight of 1138. Ray Cannon, C. E. Johnson, Jr. and Randall Updike also sold an exceptional set of high performing bulls through this sale. In fact, thirteen of the 20 bulls consigned by these five Rappahannock cattlemen weighed over 1000 pounds at 365 days of age. CHINESE CHESTNUTS AND DOGWOODS—In response to the article on dogwoods and Chinese chestnuts, 94 county residents ordered 530 dogwoods and 200 chestnuts. Those of you who ordered trees may pick them up at the Extension Office, Washington, Va. on Friday, March 19th 8:00 a.m. to 4:30p.m. or Saturday, March 20th9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Mrs. Joyce Kramer and Mrs. June Jenkins have volunteered to help you collect your order and to collect the money. □ A dog claim is denied RAPPAHANNOCK, AS ONE OF the most rural counties in the Northern Piedmont, is especially fastidious in considering dog fund claims. For one think, the county contains a lot of sheep, a prime victim of rogue canines. So Dog Warden Jack Bruce was especially careful in his report to the March 4 meeting of the Board of Supervisors. He submitted a claim for one ewe and one lamb, placed by Dabney Eastham, without comment. Chairman Pete Luke of the Board of Supervisors was intrigued by the lack of comment on the claim. “A dog was chasing the sheep,” said Bruce, “and when this one ewe came into the bam, a lamb was in the process of being bom. It died after being bora, and later the ewe died too.” But. “No dog ever had a-holt of her, so that’s why I didn’t sign it. Mr. Eastham will swear the dog was chasing the sheep, and I can see where that caused it. But the dog never got to it.” The Supervisors appreciated the fine distinction. Said Supervisor H. B. Wood, “Our policy is not to honor this type of claim unless the owners actually appear before us and give us some good reasons for doing so.” IN REPLY TO a question about what happened to the dog, Bruce said he’d found the owner: “I gave the man his dog back, provided he got out of the county by sundown. He hasn’t been seen since.” So Dabney Eastham’s claim was turned down “for lack of evidence, ’ with the stipulation that the Supervisors would be willing to listen to further testimony about the case if Eastham cares to attend the next Board of Supervisors’ meeting and pursue the matter.

T H E L I T T L c F 0 X Delegate’s report from Richmond D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. House of Delegates State Capital Richmond, Virginia 23219 The great and serious failure of the 1976 General Assembly would be the failure to pass a number of major anti-crime bills which are now in the House Courts of Justice Committee. These bills have been passed by the Senate and I hope that in the last days of the session several of these bills will also be passed by the House of Delegates. I am not optimistic about the prospects. These bills provide for the death penalty for homicide committed in connection with the sexual molestation of a child, rape, robbery, arson, or burglary and the Killing of a judge or law enforcement officer in the performance of his duties. The House Courts ot Justice Committee has defeated the bill I introduced to provide that persons sentenced to the penitentiary in the future for murder, rape, robbery, arson, voluntary manslaughter and kidnapping would not be eligible for parole until onehlalf of the sentence has been served instead of one-fourth of the sentence as under present law. The legislature has passed a bill requiring a mandatory sentence of at least one year for using a deadly weapon in the commission of murder, rape or robbery in addition to the sentence imposed for the particular crime. I am one of the sponsors of this bill. The argument seems to be whether these bills would deter serious crimes of violence. I have no doubt that if a per son knows he will be given the death penalty or a very long sentence (without parole or suspension) for the commission of the serious crimes of r violence mentioned that this will be a deterrent in a number of cases and will save the lives of innocent people. It is true that the legislature is very limited in what it can do about the rules of procedure and evidence in the trial of criminal cases because of Federal court decisions but the legislature has a very serious responsibility to do what it can to control crime and it can pass laws with respect to punishment for serious crimes of violence. I am very concerned that the legislature will not do all it can in this respect. Crime is the most immediate and critical domestic problem affecting the people in Virginia and the nation. My bill providing that counties do not have to have voting machines for precincts with less than 750 registered voters will probably be passed. rne amendment i proposed to allow kindergarten programs in summer with approval of the State Board of Education is still in doubt. The amendment I proposed passed by a 42-41 vote in the House of Delegates but it may not pass the Senate. A bill to relieve the malpractice insurance problem for physicians and hospitals has a good chance of passage and I support this legislation. The budget bill as passed by the House of Delegates provides for an overall increase of approximately 22 percent over the present budget period. Increases in state appropriations for public school education are approximately 16 percent (no appreciable increase in statewide enrollment), an approximate 24 percent increase for colleges and universities (13 percent increase in enrollment estimated), and an approximate 16 percent increase for mental health and hospitals and substantially increased appropriations for local mental health boards. These increases should allow the state to IF YOUR CHILD LOVES LEARNING, ' j-—m b YOU SHOULD CONSIDER JKiyakfitlb ?Coimtn> Bap Sdjool Huntly, Va.

In the event that additional taxes are not imposed then the state must live within its present revenues and this can be done.

These and all other expressions of sympathy extended to us during our recent bereavement were greatly appreciated. The family of Bertha Armel 1 QUESTIONS OUR CUSTOMERS ASK Marta Gehauf of Frederick, Maryland asked why her latest electric bill was so much higher than the One she received two months ago. Potomac Edison Answered: Thank you for your question. Other customers have posed similar inquiries over the last several weeks. The bill you received two months ago covered electricity you used from October 16, 1975 to December 17, 1975. This was a period of particularly mild weather in comparison with your latest bill covering December 17, 1975 to mid-February, 1976. Since time of year, weather conditions, extra holiday cooking and lighting play a large role in your consumption of electricity, the only accurate way you can compare your usage is to look at the same billing period from one year to the next. Therefore, it would be necessary to refer to last year’s bill from December to February to make a proper comparison. Our temperature records show that this recent January has been the coldest since 1970 thus requiring more electricity in the average home. In addition, you’ll want to take into consideration any new household appliances you may have added in the past year or any new family members or activities which would cause an increase in usage. And, of course, there have been rate changes due to increase in the cost of producing electricity. So there are many factors to be considered in comparing a past bill with a present one. When comparing two bills, first look under the column indicated "KWH USED” — this will show how many kilowatthours you actually used during the two billing periods and will provide the best means of comparison of costs. No one likes a high electric bill, but there are many reasons why bills such as yours have gone up. If you'd like a free booklet explaining how you can conserve in your use of electricity or if you have any other questions, call or stop in at one of our offices.

How Rappahannock got a delay HOW RURAL Rappahannock County obtained a delay in instituting a kindergarten program mandated by the state, with a convincing demonstration of how undue financial strain could be avoided, was reported at the March 4 meeting of the County’s Board of Supervisors. And if the efforts of Rappahannock’s representatives in die General Assembly are successfull, the county may obtain yet another concession in the so-called “standards of excellence” in education which the state has been enforcing in recent years. Delegate D. French Slaughter has pushed a bill through the House of Delegates to allow an extended pre-school summer school program to be instituted in small, rural counties, instead of a kindergarten program offered during the regular school year. Reporting on these efforts were Chairman Pete Luke of the Board of Supervisors, Chairman E. N. Montague of the Rappahannock Board of Education, and 0. A. Norton, superintendent of schools. These three were members of a county delegation which went to Richmond Friday, Februray 27, in behalf of obtaining for Rappahannock, which until this year did not even have a separate school sytem of its own, some needed extra time. Members of the State Board of Education, observed Montague drily, “were seated on a dias, much in the fashion of a Senate hearing; I don’t think it is a democratic process, but I will hand them this—their audio system is good . . .It is easy to talk to them.” MONTAGUE said Norton told the state schoolmen of piygress made by Rappahannock in recent years in upgrading its educational system. Montague said he “tried to portray, and obviously failed, the differences between rural and urban counties. . .and the difficulties we encounter in transporting children great distances, and of how in the last census, 30 per cent of the families in the county had incomes below what was considered the poverty level at that time.” Montague said he tried to express his amazement over state statistical rankings which put Rappahannock 108th in average per Among the classes included in the Adult Education Program now in progress at R.

Luke had followed this presentation with testimony relating to the financial situation of the county “and the problems we have.” THEN, said Montague, “we requested that the Board grant us the right, in lieu of an 180-day kindergarten program, to run a 60-day summer kindergarten. He said Title I funds used for a four-week summer program in the past had produced “heartening ” results, and he felt an extended summer program would be even better— and certainly better than the 180day program. But after these presentations, the State Board of Education then considered the county’s formal written request for the summer program, in lieu of the longer program, “and they denied it,” reported Montague. Norton then made a pitch for a delay in implementing the kindergarten program. The request was made on the fact of reduced elementary enrollment this year, and the prospect of a continuation of this trend, which would free two classrooms for a kindergarten program. By delaying the program a year, Norton argued, Rappahannock could avoid building extra space, and possibly avoid hiring additional personnel, as well. “So we have until the 1977 school year,” concluded Montague. AT THE behest of Supervisor H. B. Wood, Montague then told of Delegate Slaughter’s effort to have legislation enacted which would allow rural counties such as Rappahannock substitute extended preschool summer program for fullfledged kindergarten programs. TTie Council of Local Governments is lobbying strongly for the legislation, said Montague, but he added that he understood that the legislation would still leave it up to the State Board of Education as to whether the alternative could be adopted or not. Norton added that Rappahannock has been prompt in enacting all “standards of excellence” up to this point, especially in providing for vocational training and education for exceptional children. He also thought that consolidating elementary schools had meant a great deal in improving educational opportunities in the county over the past ten years. The pupilteacher ration has been reduced from 1-35 to 1-25, he said, and improvements continue in the face of reduced state funding help and diminishing sales tax revenues coming to the county. “I think the State Board of Education sympathized with our budget problems,” said Norton, and that they had especially been impressed by the argument about declining elementary enrollment in the county. He said the Boardmen concluded that since delays had been granted other counties when building programs lagged, it was felt Rappahannock qualified under the same precedents. “MY PITCH was mainly political,” said Luke. “But oge thing that has always ranked me is that See Page 8 DRESS UP AMERICA SATURDAY.

We’re 87th in per capita income, but we rate 8th in the percentage of support we give to our schools. The vote in favor of Delegate Slaughter’s bill reflects a change in the outlook of the Delegates; there certainly doesn’t seem to be any clear mandate to ram these things down everybody’s throat.” In answer to a question, Norton estimated that some 75-80 Rappahannock children will be eligible for kindergarten when it begins, but that something less than this number will actually attend. At the present time, the Virginia kindergarten program is the parents’ prerogative. ‘‘My guess is that in a year or two it will be mandatory and you will have to send your child out each morning whether you want to or not,” stated Supervisor H. B. Wood. SUPERINTENDENT Norton admitted to “mixed feelings about kindergarten.” He worried that some of the children who might benefit the most from such a program would be the very ones who would not attend. He said county educators had had a good experience with the summer program, and that was one reason why he was willing to accept this program as a substitute for the kindergarten program. Montague concluded: We have a very good school system in Rappahannock. Much better than in most rural counties.” With one final question from the audience, the subject was passed by. Said James Rollason, a former Marine and former Fauquier farmer now living in Rappahannock: “All of you are to be commended, but your efforts also showed one more proof that rural areas are going to he ruled by the cities.

Clarence Dearing Social Security income program People should promptly report changes in circumstances that could affect their supplemental security income payments and should not wait to hear from social security, according to Robert C. Cooper, Field Representative in Winchester. The supplemental security income program makes monthly payments to people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over or blind or disabled. Eligibility and monthly payments amounts can be affected by changes in income, living arrangements, marital status, and other circumstances. “To get the right supplemental security income checks to the right people on time,” Mr. Cooper said, “the Social Security Administration periodically contacts people getting payments to review their eligibility and monthly payment amounts. “But we may not be in touch with people as often as their circumstances change,” he said. “So they should report changes to us as promptly as possible.” People have 30 days to report changes that affect their supplemental security income payments. Failure to report changes—or delay in reporting—can mean penalty reductions in payments. “People can get information about reporting changes by calling or writing any social security office,” Mr. Cooper said.

In other words, the forestry rules which allow some burning from 4 p.m. to midnight still do not permit—even during those hours— any burning whatever that is banned by other rules, the State Air Pollution Control Board staffers emphasize. The State Forestry Law provision applies only to burning within 300 feet of woodlands or brushland. From March 1 to May 15 annually, that law forbids any such burning except from 4p.m. to midnight. But state air board rules may well prohibit such burning at any time. The board rules for example ban all open burning of household refuse where collection service is provided at least once a week or where the locality provides collection boxes. The rules ban all leaf burning where there is leaf collection service, unless a local ordinance specifically allows leaf burning.

The one we loved remained with us. For love itself lives on. And Cherished memories don’t fade, because a loved one’s gone. The one we love can never be more than a thought apart, and as long as there is memory, you’ll live in our hearts. Sleep on “Lene”, hope to meet you in the other world. We love you, Charlotte, James, Jr. and Dexter Avoid the ™ weed control gamble! Use Sutan + Selective Herbicide and atrazine. If you have stayed away from no-till corn because of the weed and insect build-up problem, you can still get top-notch weed control before planting. Incorporate Sutan + herbicide, tank-mixed with atrazine, as you work the ground before you plant. No gamble on rain as with surface-applied herbicides. Your herbicides are right in the soil destroying weeds as they sprout. Sutan + and atrazine are a top recommendation for broad spectrum grass and broadleaf weed control. Use them to control nutsedge, crabgrass, pigweeds, foxtails, fall panicum, seedling johnsongrass, lambsquarters and many other weeds. This season keep every corn row clean for bigger yields. Use the combination herbicide that works rain or shine, Sutan + and atrazine. Always follow label directions carefully. See your Stauffer supolier for Sutan +.

Old Dominion has been dismissed as a party because it does not generate electricity and makes no use of a fuel adjustment clause. By Order dated February 18, 1976, present fuel adjustment clauses employed by the foregoing utilities are continued in use pending further Commission order. By the aforesaid Order, of February 18, the Commission proposes certain rules and regulations intended to govern the design and use of all fuel adjustment clauses if such clauses are to be permitted. If ddopted, the rules and regulations would prescribe greater limitations upon costs which may be passed to consumers through a fuel clause; monthly reports will have to be filed by the named utilities giving full details of all fuel purchases, and these companies will be requested to appear before the Commission, in open court, once every three months to answer Commission questions relevant to any and all fuel reports filed the preceedii« quarter. The filed reports and public hearings will serve as part of the Commission’s continuing review of the use of and need for a fuel adjustment clause. Accompanying its Order of February 18, 1976, and of even date therewith, is an Opinion setting forth findings and reasons supporting said Order. Copies of both Opinion and Order may be reviewed at any business office of an electric company named at which customer bills niay be paid. Any interested person who objects to the adoption of the rules and regulations proposed by the Commission for use in governing the future and use of any fuel adjustment clause, may file written objection with the Commission, stating the reason or reasons therefor, on or before April 8, 1976. Objections should be directed to testimony and other evidence of record in this proceeding and mailed to: Fuel Clause Investigation, Case No. 19528, Division of Public Utilities, State Corporation Commission, P.0.
