Rappahannock News, March 25, 1976

Volume XXVD, Number 18 ' 25 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1976 fifteen1 County building cost estimated By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH RAPPAHANNOCK County could build a new office building and amortize a capital investment of $100,000 at 10% for the amount the county is now paying for rented office space, according to figures compiled by County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner. In a memorandum for the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, County planning Commission and Clerk E.M. Jones, Baumgardner includes a preliminary survey of current office space rented and not rented as part of a study necessitated by requests for additional county office space. In February, an “office space meeting” attended by Judge Rayner V. Snead, Judge Moffett, Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis, Sheriff W.A. Bun tin, Clerk Jones and “a member of the bar” was held. Their report concluded that extra space is needed for the sheriff and the commonwealth’s Lee Baines, appropriately attired in his Bicentennial costume, was in charge of selecting door prizes which were awarded during Saturday’s fashion show presented by Rappahannock Woman’s Club. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Baines and his mother made his outfit clerk, and a room for witnesses. Jones said the clerk’s office needs “double” the space it now has. Following this meeting, Judge Moffett appeared before the Board of Supervisors with a letter from Judge William Carson of the General District Court. Judge Carson’s letter informed the Supervisors that extra space is needed by the courts and that he wanted the two rooms on the ground floor of the courthouse now used by the voting registrar and the zoning office. UNDER Virginia law, it is the responsibility of a county Board of Supervisors to provide sufficient space for the conduct of the courts, including record-keeping. Commonwealth’s Attorney Georges Davis explained that “the Courts would like to make this a request, but under the statutes, it could be an order with a wit of mandamus.” In response to the “office space report” and Judge Carson’s letter. Supervisor J.R. Latham, who preTalent show Billed as “the greatest spring show for the money,” the Amissville Ruritan Club will sponsor an amateur talent night on Friday, April 2. Chairman R.B. Settle has successfully combed the area for artists with long, short or even no hair. At present the program features 25 entries who will compete for the $75 prize money to be awarded in three age classes. A full evening’s entertainment is available, says H.R. Terhune of the publicity committee, for $1 for adults and 50 cents for students. The auditorium of Rappahannock County Elementary School has been reserved for the occassion.D sided at the meeting intheabsenpe of Chairman Pete Luke, appointed a committee to study space needs. This committee was reconstituted at the March meeting of the Board of Supervisors with two members appointed from each district by the Supervisors from that chstrict. Chairman Pete Luke suggested that the committee also avail them selves of the services of County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner “as a consultant.” According to Baumgardner’s figures, county office space in the old court house is at a premium with serious inadequacies reported in the Clerk’s office, the Commissioner of Revenue’s office and See Pace 3 Trees in the courthouse yard at Washington have undergone extensive trimming and removal of several was necessary.

Masterson explains diploma remark AT THE Rappahannock School Board meeting March 11, School Board member Walter Masterson mentioned in a discussion about “alternate diplomas” that an informal check had revealed to him that a diploma from Rappahannock High School carries very little weight with Culpeper businesses. His remarks, as printed in the Rappahannock News, aroused some concern on the part of school administrators and teachers. Masterson said he’d like an opportunity to explain his statement. What he meant, Masterson said, was not that the diploma was meaningless, but that it needed further clarification before it was of any use to prospective employers. Rappahannock High School principal Dennis Wingfield has contacted Culpeper businesses regarding the value of a diploma from Rappahannock High School. He was told that the diploma alone meant nothing; the businessmen said it was necessary to contact the school administration, guidance department and at least two teachers in order to determine the exact course of study followed by the student. ‘ ‘If you brought a college diploma into a food management business, it wouldn’t mean a thing unless that diploma showed that your major was in chemistry or some food industry-related field,” said Masterson. “This is the samething.” MASTERSON is in favor of a differentiated diploma program that would enable prospective employers to determine if a graduate is qualified for. a particular position. He would like to see the program begun in tenth grade when students, after conferences with parents and guidance counselors, would decide whether they planned to attend college, business school or enter a service field such as carpentry or plumbing. “Labor Department statistics show that the majority of job openings are in service-related fields,” said Masterson. He feels that there is a greater chance a student will complete his education if he feels assured his job possibilities are increased and Masterson is sure that the differentiated diploma program will increase a graduate’s job possibilities. It may not be feasible to implement a program of this type in the Rappahannock schools because of scheduling difficulties due to lack of adequate classroom space, but Walter Masterson would like to see the possibilities explored.—Daphne McCullough

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Farmers need help THE ADMINISTRATION and Congress both finally seem to be getting the word—family farms in America need help, if they are to be preserved and not vanish from the face of the earth. And if they aren’t saved, we’ll all be in trouble. Huge, land-wasteful, inefficient—but profitable, because of their vast scale and mechanization—commercial farming will never supplant the family farm, either as a source of quality food or as the most efficient producer of food and fiber. The hearings held before Congress last week on one possible aid in the effort to save family farms in America has now been followed by an announcement from the White House that President Ford, too, is interested in some method of easing the impact of estate taxes on farm families. It seems that this is an idea whose time has come, and let’s hope it arrives as soon as possible, and in as beneficial a form as can be concocted. THERE IS STILL a tendency on the part of city folks— and on the part of city bureaucrats—to regard anything which helps farming as “special interest” legislation, and therefore something to be avoided. They don’t mind deducting the interest on their suburban ranch house mortgages when it comes time to pay their taxes, but they resent bitterly any seeming advantage that may have been arranged for the farmer. Well, they can resent it if they want to, but if farming doesn’t survive they’ll suffer along with the displaced farmers. Estate taxes, land speculation pressures, spreading development, more and more conversions to non-farm use of prime agricultural land—these are things which hold a potential for disaster. America is one of the world’s leading agricultural nations—and this beautiful Piedmont we live in is one of the richest producing areas in the nation. If that role is diminished by greedy land use patterns and unwise, punitive taxation practices, then we will come to a sad day, indeed, that cannot be undone.□ Pesticide offer warning issued Hie Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce cautions farmers to be wary of teleNew books at library NEW books recently received in the library provide something for patrons of all ages. For the children—from beginner readers to the more advanced—are such things as Collier, “My brother Sam is Dead,” Cunleffe, “Rome and the Barbarians”; Dal - geish, “The Courage of Sarah Noble;” McNaught, “500 Words to Grow On;” and Walter’s, “Come and See the Rainbow.” Adults may select from such works as: Astor, “Hot Paper;” Berlitz, “The Bermuda Triangle;” Chesler, “Women, Money and Power;” Child, “From Julia Child’s Kitchen;” Foley, “The Barclay Place;” Goldberg, “A Private View of a Public Life;” Hodge, “Rebel Heiress;” Mackinnon, “The Matriarch;” and General Westmoreland’s, “A Soldier Reports”.□ phone offers of pesticide bargains. For the second year reports are being received of farmers being offered special agreements to purchase pesticides which are not as represented in the telephone call. The usual procedure is a call from an articulate salesperson making spectacular claims for a particular pesticide (usually a herbicide). Upon receipt of the product, the farmer finds to his dismay that not only is the product not effective for his needs, it is billed at many times the price discussed on the telephone. In most instances, the prospective purchaser is led to believe the product is an emulsifiable concentrate to be further diluted, only to find that the product is already diluted and must be used as it comes from the container. All farmers are urged to beware of calls from strangers offering pesticides for sale at a so-called bargain price. It is good business to buy from your reputable local supplier. □ Close-Up The closeup was identified by many as a penny by a number of readers and the n?m«> of Mrs. Harry Deal of Culpeper was drawn from the entries.

Letters to the editor Clinic a success Editor: The Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society wishes to thank the many people, who were so wonderful with their help and made the Skin Cancer Clinic a tremendous success. Dr. Lewis E. Harmon and his two assistants, Dr. Larry Legum and Dr. Allen Cayne, came as volunteers for the clinic. The Rev. Jennings Hobson, IH, and the members of Trinity Episcopal Church gave the use of their parish hall with its facilities. Both the Rappahannock Grade School and High School and the Wakefield Day School helped with publicity. Hie Home Demonstration Agent was helpful with a special mailing of information about the Clinic. Mrs. Sarah Latham, whose fantastic coverage with both articles and pictures in the Rappahannock News, was one of the outstanding factors in the success of the clinic. RLEP still fighting Editor: In last week’s obituary column on Pulitzer prize winning jour* nalist Ed Harris, we discovered that RLEP had somehow given up and that powerlines would now be built across the county. Please inform your writer and readers that the effort to preserve our area from unnecessary powerlines is now headed for the Federal courts and that further legal action locally remain an option. Ed Harris was a RLEP charter member, officer, director, chairman of Vepco project fund raising and largely responsible for timely expansion of this case beyond the rubber stamps of Virginia’s State Corporation Commission and Supreme Court of Appeals. His strong dedication, respect for rights of others and enlightened self interest provided us much motivation over the years. Don’t count us out. Phil Irwin President, RLEP The Rappahannock Board of Supervisors recognized its value with a special proclamation, which was issued in connection with their Resolution naming April, Cancer Month in the county. Many local people, too many to mention by name, gave their time, skills and talents to help. The doctors interviewed 141 people and from this number found that 30% of them had various skin problems serious enough to warrant special attention from their own doctors. We, the Rappahannock Unit feel this is indicative of die need for and the success of the clinics.

County building cost estimated From Page 1 the Health Department. Dr. R. S. LeGarde, district Health Officer, appeared before the Supervisors at their February meeting to request consideration for building a health office that would ‘ ‘provide for more efficiency and privacy.” Dr. LeGarde is concerned about the rental facility now occupied by the Rappahannock Health office and has asked the Supervisors several times for improved offices. ACCORDING to Baumgardner’s figures, approximately half of the county office space is rented at an approximate cost of $1(1,000 per year plus $1373 for heat and light. The rented offices provide 3143 square feet of space. If a> new county office building could be purchased or built for $100,000 at $20 per square foot, it would provide an additional 1857 square feet. Baumgardner feels that consol Community Concert members invited Memberships are now available on a first come first serve basis in the Culpeper Community Concert Association for the 1976-77 season.

Skyline District has set admission prices for the baseball season, but Rappahannock plans to charge less. The admission price will be $1 for adults and 501 for students. The district admission price is $1.50 for adults and $1 for students. Due to lack of seating facilities here the admission is reduced.

Dennis — Local Sales Rep. 987-8116 idation of county offices into a single building would give better coordination of work effort, less duplication of personnel, office equipment and files and budget relief from rising rental costs. He sees lost time in moving offices, economic impact on those who provide the rented facilities and difficulty in finding a suitable building site or a suitable building for conversion to office space as the negative factors to consider. ON MARCH 11, Baumgardner inspected a modular building suggested by Dr. LeGarde as a possible Rappahannock County office. The current cost of such a structure is $16.90 per square foot complete and ready for occupancy. Dr. LeGarde advised Baumgardner that the State Health Department and State Welfare Department would each pay one half the amortization cost of their part of a public building over a ten year period. □ Mrs. Alice Hitt, on behalf of the Amissville Ladies Auxiliary, presented Fire Chief Russell Pullen a check for $2,000 during the annual Amissville Firemens banquet held Friday evening.

A former top steeplechaser is gone Witold Kuncewicz of Flint Hill, the last owner of In The Know, wrote the following eulogy of his mare’s sensational steeplechasing career. SHE WAS born in Maryland in 1962 but since mid-1965 Rappahannock had been her home. Her original owner-breeder thought so little of her that though a wealthy man he abandoned her to her Charlestown trainer in payment of the training bill. She was barely three years old at the time. Tall and skinny, she fretted in the constant confinement of the race track. Raced at two and three, not once did she place or show any promise. By the middle of 1965 she was that typical, hopeless reject from the race track—a burden on her owner, an embarassment to her trainer, too strong and nervous for a pleasure horse, too young and unschooled for a hunter and not good enough looking for a show horse. Yet there was that “look of the eagles” about her and a graceful, beautiful “way of going.” That is what got her a one way ticket on an old horse trailer heading for the Old Kennels at Flint Hill. She spent the rest of 1965 getting acquainted with the Rappahannock hills, eating good grass in the pastures and wading the Jordan river. Foxhunting was the natural sequel. She was a keen follower and enjoyed “the sport” with Rappahannock, Old Dominion, Warrenton and Casanova Hunts. IN THE three years after her liberation from the race track routine she took part in horse In The Know leading Tuscalee, the all-time American Steeplechase winner, at Fair Hill, Md., in 1970, Skip Brittle up. (Marshall Hawkins photo) shows, horse trials and threeday events. Yet it was obvious that she was most exhilarated by the cross country chase over obstacles. So it was that in the middle of 1968 her 'things were packed and she was shipped off to a fine trainer of steeplechase horses in her native Maryland to acquire the finer points. No one can tell whether it was the discipline of the training stable or some other appetite killer but her performance that fall was so inauspicious that she was returned home before the end of the season. Once back in Rappahannock she ate heartily again, foxhunted with glee and started showing that CEMETERY MEMORIALS $he Mlnal ^rtbutg CLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service" 5-23*1 CULPEPER Spring StakHand®Special Ready to buy haying equipment?

YOUNG EQUIPMENT, INC "Where Savings Continue After Purchase" h MADISON RD. ORANGE 672-1111 SH-49-276 StafcHand is a regMcnd trademark of IheHeMlonCotpataboa sharp edge which she failed to give her racing trainer. Thus it was decided to head her towards the point-to-point races in the spring of 1969. Her start at Casanova was followed that year by Rappahannock, Piedmont and Oatlands. She won them all. THIS WAS the beginning of one of the most memorable steeplechasing careers in American history which extended over seven years. In the Know won ten consecutive point-to-point races. Of the 14 point to point races she ran she won 12, was second one time and unplaced one time when injured.. She ran and won at Hunt meetings along the Eastern Seaboard winning many, including the National Hunt Cup in 1970. To rub more salt into the wounds of her breeder-owner who disowned her as a three-year old, she ran ancf won at major tracks (Monmouth Park and Delaware Park) where she was one of the great favorites with Hie public. In 1973 she took time out to procreate. Her now three-yearold filly by Royal Warrior, by the name of Known Royal, is going to try to fill her mama’s shoes starting next year. IN 1974 In the Know came back to the point-to-point wars and won again. It was that year—her last in competition—that she took the newly established First Colony Trophy. One ot ner wins in tnat series was at her own Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races in the Durant Hill Race. In 1975 she went back to Royal Warrior and was splendidly in foal and in great •>* form until this past February when struck by a flareup of an old complaint, followed by complications, a seeping of strength and a vicious circle of conditions which in spite of round-the-clock care byherveterinarian, Dr. John Mayo, her owners Dorothy andWitKuncewicz and JoPat Murphy, her rider and assistant trainer of many years standing, finally, got the better of her. SHE DIED a little after six o’clock in the evening on Sunday, March 15, 1976. The day before she spent mostly laying down but on Sunday she took a long walk. She was very weak but went to the top of a knoll from which she eould see the other horses in pasture. All of them had been together at the Old Kennels for many years. After she took a last look at the hilly pastures where she brought up Known Royal, taught her to gallop and watched her frolick, she turned around and with slow, unsteady but determined steps returned to the stable for the last time. She hadn’t eaten her food for three weeks but she would nibble a little grass and eat some apples. Now there was no strength left to do even that. The foal which was due in a month was dead by then. Though she was as courageous in her fight for life as she was in her racing years, the verdict went against her. She will be remembered in her Rappahannock and where ever horses race over obstacles for a long time.D AUXILIARY ELECTS Officers elected to head the Amissville Ladies Auxiliary for the year are Alice Hitt, president; Isa Scott, vice president; Katie James, secretary, Louise Smith, treasurer, Brenda Hitt, chaplain and Peggie Hitt, reporter.

Weaver Castleton, Virginia 703-937-5341 VISITORS WELCOME PANTHER TALES July 4th is a special day in every year; even more so this year because of the Bicentennial birthday of our nation. But for many R.C.H.S. students July won’t be the more most important 4th of the year. . .for R.C.H.S. Seniors, June 4th will be that most important day; the closing of one phase of their lives and the dawning of another—graduation. Your senior year in high school to many is not always that golden year imagined, but almost inevitably to each, it is a special year of self realization—a christening to life and the adult world. The realization that June 4th is not so far away may have dawned on many Seniors with this week’s arrival of graduation announcements and the busy planning taking place for May’s Senior trip. Somehow I feel for many of us, this year’s fireworks are going to seem a lot more spectacular and a little bit brighter. It’s the “Spirit of ‘76!” Our Baseball Panthers are off to a good start with a successful victory over Orange County’s team in a scrimmage last Saturday. The final score was 3 to 2 and our Panthers were looking good. Way Cindy Cumins to go guys—keep up the good work! If you’ve noticed R.C.H.S. students hanging around historical landmarks or digging through old court house records, its because many have been working on family geneologies as History and Government assignments by Mr. Titchenell. It’s an interesting project and even more so when those occasional family skeletons are dug out of the closets! Mr. T’s going to have some interesting reading on his hands, I’m sure! Students, don’t forget Easter Vacation’s not so far away—April 10-18—an especially long holiday this year; one we’ll all enjoy. Have a nice weekend. □ The Amissville Junior Fireman gave the department a powerful flashlight at banquet festivities Friday and a neck brace was presented the Amissville Rescue Squad by the young men.

One of Anderson’s two-story “modular” houses is nearing completion south of Warrenton on Route 29-15. New concept in home building introduced WILLIAM ANDERSON, an Amissiville builder, says a new concept in housing that he is introducing to the area makes it possible for him to put up a two-story residence in much less time than conventional builders. He describes the structure as a two-piece modular “uni-structure,” whereby the second story is literally unfolded from the prefinished modular sections which form the first story. The second story has to be finished off inside by conventional methods, but since the outside of the “fold-out” sections is also pre-finished, Anderson says he is able to cut construction time to a month and a half—as opposed to three to four months for putting up a wholly conventional, two-story house. “IT OFFERS not only a savings in time, but in money as well,” says Anderson. The two-story model he recently put up off Route 29, south of Warrenton, will sell in “the low forties,” which he called very reasonable for a house ON LIVING ROOM SUITES AND BEDROOM SUITES PAUL’S WAREHOUSE SHOWROOM 20 E.

Hill of the Divison of Motor Vehicles has reminded Virginia owners of trucks, tractors, trailers and motorcycles that month and year decals must be displayed on license plates by March 31, when all “miscellaneous” vehicles join passenger cars under the stag-' gered month, decal system. “Approximately 20% of the owners have not yet responded to notices sent them,” said Hill, “and they risk inconvenience if they wait until the last minute.” Hill noted that when owners renewed their licenses last March, they were given the option ot selecting a convenient month for future renewal. DMV mailed notices prior to the selected month and, upon payment of a prorated fee, proper month and year decals were issued. Owners who selected a renewal month but who may have mislaid or not received a notice should contact the nearest DMV office or license agency immediately. Use of the multi-year plates and staggered renewal has eliminated the long lines Virginia-, motorists endured every March and April, under the old system^ A Rush River Company Featured Recipe: iwbo rac-raw-."I wm.

The result was nitrogendeficient, lower-yield wheat. The nitrogen supply situation has improved over last year. Therefore, it is possible for growers to return to higher nitrogen rates and higher yields. For example, an application of 80 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre typically results in 15 extra bushels of wheat. Nitrogen demand for wheat. Wheat response to nitrogen is greater than with any other plant nutrient. The wheat plant uses nitrogen from the moment the roots begin to function until all nutrients maturity. wheat removes nitrogen from the soil. High yields call for adequate replacement of the nitrogen removed. Nitrogen removed by wheat.

On top of this, when nitrogen and phosphorus are applied together, the phosphorus works harder than when applied alone. / Af Nitrogen y assists the plant in making more effective use of phosphorus. This influence of nitrogen is especially important in early stages of growth. In some cases, as much as 65 to 70 per cent of the phosphorus in the plant is taken up early in the season. Fertilizer rate studies are summarized in the _ table above, These data illustrate the pronounced effect of nitrogen on phosphorus uptake. How to zero in on nitrogen needs for wheat.
