Volume XXVII, Number 40 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1976 FIFTEEN CENTS Fierce storm lashes Flint Hill A DEVASTATING summer storm rocked the Flint Hill and outlying area Saturday afternoon, running the gamut of rain, hail, high winds, lightning, flash flooding and power outages. A lesser storm had raged in Flint Hill the day before. A tree in the center of the village fell and severed electric wires, plunging Flint Hill into darkness for some eight hours. Hail described by several as “the size of buck marbles,” and some as large as “bantum eggs,” shredded cornfields and gardens, broke out window panes and punched holes in window and door screens. Even “old timers” had not seen anything comparable. In the home of Mrs. Peggy Clark there were 14 window panes broken by hail. Lightning struck a barn on the property of Mrs. Lloyd Pullen and completely destroyed it along with 5000 bales of hay harvested by E.J. Welch. Amissville carnival Amissville’s annual carnival is scheduled to begin tonight, Thursday with a parade at 6:30. The fund raising carnival will continue through Saturday. The parade will feature marching units, fire and rescue equipment, individual and group majorettes, floats, antique and comic entries, and much more. Box suppers will be available Thursday at the food stand. There will be hot dogs, hamburgers, drinks and desserts on sale each evening. Rides will fill the midway and there will be numerous games of skill and other concessions. Pri- zes will be given away Saturday night and the highlight of Friday will be the ceremony announcing the new queen of the carnival. She will receive a tiara from the outgoing queen and she will reign for a year representing the Amissville Fire Company in parades and meets. □ Flash flooding on several secondary roads occurred, making some impassable for a short while. According to Thomas Williams, from the Friday and Saturday storms more than four inches of • - -w --t *..* » * » x . n ij#-\ rain fell. Mr. Williams and sons were out early Monday morning repairing a fence where an uprooted tree fell upon it. LIGHTNING struck and killed a y.v: % .. registered Appaloosa stallion owned by Billy Payne of Locust Shade farm near Amissville. The water pump and television also were burned out by lightning at the Payne farm, as was the case in See Page 4 A barn on the property of Mrs. Lloyd Pullen at Flint Hill was demolished by flames which were ignited by lightning Saturday. The bam was full of baled hay harvested by E.J. Welch. Amissville man enters a guilty plea RUSSELL Edward Jordan of Amissville entered a guilty plea to three felony charges in Rappahannock County Circuit Court last Wednesday. Jordan, 24, was charged on July 2 with breaking and entering the E.G. Hackley home, with armed robbery and with breaking and entering Hackley’s store. Jordan was sentenced to five years on each count, to run concurrently. The sentence was suspended and he was placed on probation for five years, and was assessed the court costs. In another case heard in this court session, Carroll William Short of Luray was convicted on two counts of conspiracy in the breaking and entering Rappahannock County High School and was sentenced to five years in jail, four of which will be suspended after he serves one full year, 365 days, in jail. He was ordered to pay restitution of $911 to the school and pay the costs of court, which he has done. The offenses were committed March 30 and June 1, 1975. Rather than serve this year in the state penitentiary, Short elected to pay $5 a day for the 365 days, a total of $1825, to Rappahannock, for his keep in the Page County jail. Short complained of heart trouble and wished to be near his doctor, according to Investigator J.A. Watson. The Rappahannock jail is used only for a lock-up and prisoners kept any length of time must be taken to Fauquier or other jails and Rappahannock must pay a daily fee of $5 for this service. CARROLL Winston Robinson of Front Royal, charged with breaking and entering the establishment of Robert Clatterbuck in Flint Hill, was sentenced to five years for the offense, with four suspended. He will serve a full year and is required to pay restitution of $257 and costs. On a charge of grand larceny in the same place, Rob-\^ inson was given another five-year x suspended sentence and restitution of $367 ordered paid. A jury found Eugene Edward Green, also of Front Royal, guilty of robbery as charged and set his punishment at ten years confinement. Green was arrested for the robbery of Reager’s Store near Huntly on December 31, 1974. Lawrence Turner of Huntly, charged with armed robbery of E.G. Hackley and breaking and entering the Hackley home and store, will go to trial on August 25 in the Circuit Court of Rappahannock. On August 26, Joseph Preecs will be tried on a drug charge. □

SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Sperryville’s problem ANOTHER step has been taken in the long effort to solve Sperry ville’s public sanitation problem, and let’s all hope that the county and the community will be able to remain on the correct path that has been chosen. This correct path involves the effort to have a sewage system constructed which will solve the existing problems without opening the floodgates to the creation of a myriad of new problems. The usual situation when communities like Sperryville are confronted with the need for a central sewer system is to listen to the “cost effective” con artists, who advocate oversized plants providing for too many extra hookups. The theory is—and it sounds attractive to financially-burdened localities—that the extra hookup fees and the extra customers will make it easier to pay for the system. Unfortunately, it never works out that way. The community finds itself burdened with so many other costs of growth that the savings, such as they might be, on the sewer system itself are quickly cancelled out—such costs as the need for more roads, more school space, more public services of all kinds, including police protection. GROWTH simply does not pay for itself, and the record of this has been documented time and again. And this doesn’t take into consideration what might be the most important object of all—preservation of our beautiful county and the pleasant way of life it makes possible. So, let’s continue to work for solving Sperryville’s problem. But let’s make certain this effort is for a solution and not the pretext for creation of other problems. □ JENKINS REUNION Hie annual reunion of relatives and friends of the late Luther E. and Ada F. Jenkins will be held Sunday, August 29 at Graves Mountain Lodge, Syria from 11 a.m. until dark. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the day. □ Letters to the editor Farmland is saved Editor: Because of your strong advocacy of the preservation of farmlands, you will want to know of the action of the House of Representatives last week to save 40,000 acres in Virginia and North Carolina from being flooded by a misbegotten pumped storage electric project on the New River. By an overwhelming vote of 311 to 73, the House voted save the New River and its valley from being flooded out—a remarkable victory for 3,000 people who would have lost their homes, farms and livelihood in favor of a questionable power project. .. It will come' up soon for a vote in the Senate. Mr. Robinson voted in favor of the power project and against the farmers and their land. It remains to be seen what Senator Byrd will do. As I understand it, Senator Scott supports the dams and not the farms. Art Wright Editor’s note—It is disappointing that so many Virginia legislators, at all levels, seem to automatically support anything at the expense of forms and farmers. Let’s hope Senator Byrd will help redress the record on this one. Appreciation expressed Editor: As a recent property owner in Rappahannock County, I write to express my appreciation and gratitude for the help given me by two young Rappahannock County men last Saturday. Leaving my property after the big storm that night, my car slipped off a dirt road and left my family and me stranded. While my son and I tried to bring it back on the road unsuccessfully, my wife and daughter—at ten o’clock at nightwalked a mile to the nearest neighbor to discover they were not at home. I began a long process of digging die car out when two young Samaritans arrived, Rick Grigsby and Mark Rothman. They unhesitatingly offered to help, and eventually drove off to borrow a chain that allowed them to pull my car out of its predicament. Thanks to them we were able to return home late that evening rather than spending over night in a ditch. Thank you, Rappahannock County, for producing such fine boys. Leon M.S. Slawecki Reston, Va. RLEP to meet September 3 Nature photographer John Trott will use many of his own color slides to illustrate his discussion of “Birds and a changing environment’’ at the regular business meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection at 8 p.m., Friday, September 3, at the Rappahannock County court house in Washington. Trott has been studying and photographing birds for the past "25 years. His photographs have appeared in National Geographic and other publications. He will discuss the importance of birds to man, and show how birds adjust to man-made changes in the environment. The business portion of the meeting will include an election of officers to lead the RLEP for the coming year. All members and guests are encouraged to attend. School drug policy is stressed RAPPAHANNOCK County Schools have a clear, firm policy relating to possession, use or distribution of illegal drugs on school property or at school-sponsored functions. Hie policy was adopted by the Board and it is the desire of the Board and school administration that parents of school age children be reminded of the important points in this policy. Should school authorities have reason to believe an individual is involved in possession, use or distribution of an illegal drug on school property or at a schoolsponsored function, law enforcement officials will be notified and asked to investigate. Parents of the individual and the superintendent of schools will be notified. If investigation by a law enforcement official leads to the tentative or definite conclusion that possession, use or distribution did occur and the investigation or prosecution is to be carried further, then the individual or individuals involved will be suspended from school for appropriate school board action. If an individual, while on school property or attending school functions, exhibits physical behavior or appearance which indicates that he or she may be presently under the influence of drugs, the principal or his representative will notify appropriate law enforcement officials and request them to investigate. The individual's parents W* _ _— 4% and the superintendent of schools shall be notified as quickly as possible. IF, IN the opinion of the principal, or his representative, the student is in need of medical attention, the individual’s parents will be informed promptly and arrangements made to transfer the individual to a doctor or hospital. Such incidents will be reported to the superintendent of schools. Should investigation reveal that an illegal activity or use of drugs occurred on school property or at a school function, or if the investigation is to be carried further, the individual or individuals will be suspended from school for ap- , propriate school board action. Hail damage may be compensated HAIL STORMS last Friday and Saturday did substantial damage to the corn crops of some producers in Rappahannock County. The Rappahannock ASCS office administers a low yield disaster program that should be of interest to these affected farms. It is important to note that the program applies only to the coni itself, not the stalk or leaves. If the corn turns sour or moldy as a result of the hail storm, then the farmer should contact the Rappahannock County ASCS office as soon as possible and file an application for a low yield Diaster Payment. If he decides not to harvest the crop and thinks he may qualify for a low yield disaster payment he should not destroy the crop residue before an inspection is made. An inspection of the damaged crop must be made by a representative of ASCS before any payment can be made. Any producer who destroys the crop residue before an inspection is made may not qualify for payment. Producers who have been approved projects under the 1976 Agricultural Conservation Program may lose all cost shares previously approved if a performance report is not filed by the date indicated on the approval. If a producer has not completed a project and needs more time to do so, he should contact the Rappahannock County ASCS office at once. Failure to do so may result in cost shares being cancelled. □ Book sale Rappahannock County Elementary School will conduct its textbook sale prior to the opening of school on Friday, August 27, from 4 to 8 p.m. and on Saturday, August 28, from 9 a.m. to noon. Parents may buy new and second hand books and pay book rentals and school fees on these dates. Insurance premiums will not be collected at this time, but will be paid to the child’s teacher immediately after the opening of school. Spelling texts will come up for adoption in 1977, therefore it is recommended that second hand spelling books be purchased when available. Student lunches will be 40 cents this session and ice cream will still be 10 and 15 cents.□ NOTICE—Pictures for publication must be black and white. Color pictures will not be accepted.

Out-of-county student is accepted THE Rappahannock County School Board approved the enrollment of a non-resident’student in the local elementary school for the upcoming school year. The application by the student’s parent was accompanied by logical reasons for the request and was found valid by the i Board, which voted unanimously- in the affirmative, with the stipulation that the required tuition for an outof-county student be paid. A report on summer school students who had attended classes in Warren County since there were not enough locally to set up a summer school program, showed the seven students had completed the required courses, which were primarily in English. Superintendent 0. A. Norton reported the purchase of some science equipment secured from Woodward Laboratories, including beakers, test tubes, etc. The purchase of some tables, chairs and a desk was made from another source, Norton also reported. The furniture, though second hand, is in good condition, he said, and he felt the acquisition constituted considerable savings. The Superintendent also reported that the base for new lockers at the high school was installed and awaiting the arrival of the lockers, he hoped before the school’s opening August 30. Cafeteria work is also progressing and some painting is being done. All equipment maintenance has been done at the schools and ready for the fall opening. A parking policy for high school students had been considered and discussed at a previous meeting and was further hashed over at last Tuesday’s Board meeting. The suggestion of a parking decal for each vehicle met with approval, as well as the regulation that cars driven to school by students should be locked and not moved until the close of the school day. THE decision of the Board concerning the location of the new school bus maintenance garage was WATER REQUEST The Washington Town Council has requested that the residents of the town refrain from using water unnecessarily. Water is low and the pumps are being used 12 to 24 hours daily. The request further stated that cars should not be washed or gardens watered until further notice. The cooperation of the public is asked. “It's gone - just gone I" Your personal belongings on your vacation trip, or left at home,^ire vulnerable to theft.

They are James Wood, Science; Monica Toman, first grade; Karl Studt, high school reading and Bobbie Cook, elementary reading. Mr. Norton announced that Miss Mary Jenkins had not chosen to renew her contract in the primary section of the elementary school. A retirement plan for non-pro fessional school system employes has been discussed at the past two meetings of the School Board. At last Tuesday’s meeting, the issue died for lack of a second after a motion was made by Paul Nichols, to offer these five employes the option of entering the state system. These employes are eligible to join the state retirement plan if the School ,^3oard will pay its share of the retirement payments. ALMOST as an afterthought the r Rappahannock County School Board, at the August meeting on the 10th, appointed a committee to look for a candidate for the position of school superintendent for the county to replace retiring Superintendent 0. A. Norton. Norton plans to retire at the end of this year. Named to the committee were Walter Masterson, Mrs. Beverly Massie and A. Y. Stokes. Paul Nichols was appointed an alternate. □ County teachers are announced TEACHERS for the 1976-77 school year in Rappahannock County have been announced. Rappahannock County High School Dennis B.

According to Roy Atkins, a Highway Department employe, the storms created problems in the Flint Hill area and on Route 658 on Red Oak Mountain near Woodville. Numerous trees fell across the roads and some roads were damaged by washing. Louis Moore out onFodderstack Road had felt he was among the more fortunate orchardists after the spring freezes which killed the apple crop. “I had about a third of a crop left, much more than most,” he said. “Now, with the hail Saturday, I have a 100% crop loss. The fruit, which was just sizing up nicely, is wiped out,” said Moore, who added, “The hail stones, the largest I have ever seen, came down with such fury that it split the bark on the small, new trees, injuring them.” MRS. James C. Fincham was describing a tree which had fallen in a previous storm at her place and was lying on the ground downhill. “The wind picked that tree up and turned it completely over, leaving it pointing in the opposite direction,” she said. “My new row of snap beans, just leafed out good, were stripped,” she said as she pointed to a row of stalks— all that was left of them. “The hail covered the ground and the wind whipped it into piles that you could scoop up with a shovel,” Mrs. fincham concluded, “and there was nothing any of us could do.”D Scout Court of Honor Boy Scout Troop 123, Washington held a Court of Honor Sunday, August 15, at the Recreation Center.
