f f «• Rappahannock landfill still alive By DAPHNE McCULLQUGH ACCORDING to Division Director of Solid Waste Management and Vector Control R.H. Foreman, an evaluation by him of property recently turned down by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals as a possible landfill site “may show it to be much better than anticipated.” In response to Foreman’s assertions, the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors began action at their meeting last Thursday to bypass the Zoning Appeals Board’s refusal to grant a special use permit for the property. The Supervisors agreed to recess their regular meeting to a January 14 work session at which time they will begin formulating a proposed amendment to the county’s zoning ordinance for establishing a sanitary landfill and issuing conditional special use permits. Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke reported that he had received no mail from the Zoning Appeals Board and only knew what he had read in the papers—that the Zoning Board had refused to issue a special use permit to Ruth and E.B. Updike’s Community Trash Service to operate a landfill on property outside of Sperryvil’o, and had, instead, decided to pass the whole problem back to the Supervisors. Luke maintained that the special use permit would only have allowed Foreman, “the man supposed to make the decision in the first place,” to conduct the required tests on the property to determine its suitability for a landfill. After the special use permit was denied, Luke said the Updikes contracted personally for Foreman to evaluate the site on Route 522. FOREMAN’S studies, made with a backhoe supplied by the Updikes, revealed soil conditions in almost direct opposition to those found by VPI soil scientist E.G. Epperson in an earlier examination. According to a letter from Foreman to County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner, Foreman dug three test holes in evaulating approximately one third of the site. In hole number one at the highest elavation on the test area, six to jeight inches of topsoil was followed by two to three feet of clay and a “parent material that was crumbly in texture and was easily excavated by the backhoe to 16 feet. Since the material was so easily excavated, I felt no need to go any further, but indications were that depths of 25 to 30 feet could be excavated,” wrote Foreman. Hole two was dug in an area with “considerable rock outcroppings,” about 150 feet from hole one. Here Foreman wrote that he found five to six inches of topsoil with one foot of clay, “then parent material of the same texture as in hole one. Excavation was as easy as hole one and since all indications were as in hole one, we stopped at ten feet.” The third soil study was made in the middle of a deep ravipe. In hole three, Foreman found two to three feet of top soil, then a sandy clay loam five to six feet deep followed by the same parent material as in holes one and two. The third soil study hole was excavated to 18 feet and “no signs of water were present.” In regard to the VPI soil expert’s examination of the property, Foreman concluded that “previous soil studies...were ofageneralnature and a soil hand auger was the tool used. Hand augers are not as reliable as a backhoe study from an engineering standpoint, so often can be misleading.” AS A result of Foreman’s findings, the Updikes applied to the Supervisors for a special use permit to operate a sanitary landfill. “This is the site the state man has deemed suitable,” said Luke, in favor of the Updikes’ request. The Board of Zoning Appeals told the Supervisors to find another site but the job is not that easy, maintained Luke. He said I' 71 he had contacted William Layne, the county’s largest landowner, and “he’s not interested; he’s unenthusistic towards sale or anything else.’’ Other individuals suggested by Supervisor Clarence Baldwin as possibly being willing to rent property for a landfill site were also approached by the Updikes with no success. “Right now, we’re running out of time,” concluded Luke in ask ing for the opinions of the rest of the Board. Supervisor H.B. Wood, in whose district the proposed site lies, remained opposed. He repeated his earlier suggestion that the county find land to lease for a short term solution while continuing to explore future possibilities of buying property. “Once we issue a special use permit, there’s no time limit on See Pace 5 Hearing is set on condemnations Monday, the Rappahannock County Circuit Court granted the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection a delay in processing various condemnation suits brought against local landowners by the Virginia Electric and Power Company. Judge Raynor Snead set Monday, March 14, to hear an RLEP motion to intervene on behalf of its membership. Attorneys Sharon Genebach and John Mears represent RLEP as the citizen’s group continues into its sixth year opposition to VEP CO’s plans to create a new and, it feels, unnecessary cleared utility corridor for 12 miles across Rappahannock. The League has sponsored litigation before the Virginia State Corporation Commission and Supreme Court of Appeals, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency and is urging a decision by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in its effort to require that any new utility facilities are built within existing corridors rather than across unspoiled landscape. □ Old Man Winter left Iris celling card on this rock fence.

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 On state taxes VIRGINIA’S General Assembly is meeting again amid renewed pressure to increase taxes. Some advocates of big government are despairing that these pressures may again be resisted, due to the fact that this is an election year and no politician wants to raise taxes when he is seeking the support of taxpaying voters. Frankly, we think this concern for the taxpayers is healthy. We’re glad that the Delegates are nervous, and we hope their nervousness is translated^, into some other means of meeting state government financial needs than still another, unwanted tax increase. Also facing the General Assembly is a proposal to reorganize and streamline, somewhat, state government. To our way of thinking, this might offer the best solution to the financial problems, as well. A", recent report indicated that Virginia has one of the biggest state payrolls of any state in the Union, on a per capita basis. Each Virginian has a higher percentage of state bureaucrats intefering with his life than any other citizen of any other state. Surely this is an unhealthy imbalance, and just as assuredly, this is the place to start balancing Virginia’s budget. THANKS in” large part to the bureaucratic tangle at the state level—and to the Delegates’ own lack of recognition of local problems—local taxes have been soaring in recent years. Much of these taxes have been made necessary by programs which the state decrees localities must adopt, but which it refuses to help finance. Localities aren’t even given sufficient flexibility to seek new revenue sources. The result has been constantly climbing local personal and real estate property taxes, and to add still higher state taxes on top of that would be too much to bear. Our advice to the Delegates; Pare down that monstrous bureaucracy; you might then find that the state’s financial “needs” aren’t so tremendous, after all.D RAPP CHATS By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture A BIG FRAMED, HEAVY MUSCLED, grovrthy bull, raised by Bob Anderson was the top performing senior Angus on the bull testing nroeram at Culpeper. The vital statistics on this Rito bred bull aref 205 day weight, 632 pounds; 365 day weight, 1210 pounds; and weight per day of age a whopping 3.31 pounds. Rappahannock bred bulls have out performed all Angus bulls on the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association bull testing program fer eight out of the 19 years this program has been in existence. County cattle breeders who have owned the top record of performance tested bulls in past years are Ned Johnson, Ray Cannon and Newbill ^Bob Anderson’s bull and 39 other Angus, 19 Polled Hereford, seven Hereford, one Charolais, two Simmental and two Brangus bulls will be auctioned off to the highest bidders next Saturday, January 15, Noon at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises, four miles South of Culpeper on Route 29. On Saturday, January 29, 65 bulls will be sold at the Red House Bull Evaluation Center, Red House, Virginia. And the Junior bulls will sell at Culpeper and Red House in late February and early March. Only the top two thirds of the bulls tested will be sold. The rest have been sent home. These sales offer commercial breeders a good opportunity to select herd bulls that will improve profits. However, the commercial breeder will have to use good judgement in selecting his bulls. Just because a bull is sold through a R. O. P. bull sale doesn t assure that he will automatically make improvement in your next years calf crop. Some of our better Rappahannock commercial breeders will have to carefully select from amongst the top half or top third of these bulls to substantially increase rate of gain and conformation of future calf crops. WINTER TETANY—Grass tetany, milking tetany, winter staggers or whatever you want to call it, cow death loss from magnesium deficiency or imbalance, appears to be highest in Rappahannock from Christmas to Easter. With about 95% plus of our tetany problems occuring between Thanksgiving and Mothers Day. If you are not feeding a magnesium supplement and your cows have recently calved, or about due to calf, suggest you start now. It is just darn good insurance. □ Hunting report Total deer kill in Rappahannock for the season was 450 checked and of these 94 were doe. This is approximately an increase of 100 deer taken over the previous year, which is considered normal, according to Game Warden James Bankston. He reported four bear checked, also, in Rappahannock and said the game management area in Madison County reported more than 30 bear taken. Bankston said the deer harvest was normal and the increase was expected, and that there is still an abundance of these animals remaining. □ School Board joins financial fight Agrees with Bath County that rural counties need some aid THE Rappahannock School Board received word at its meeting Tuesday night of a drive to amend the state funding formula used to determine school aid payments to localities. Superintendent 0. A. Norton reported on a letter received from the Bath County School Superintendent asking for financial help in the fight. The letter said that Delegate Shad Solomon had agreed to spearhead the fight to make the state '’'funding formula more equitable for sparsely populated, rural counties. Rural counties with low enrollments cannot provide state mandated programs at the same rate as more heavily populated areas, noted the Bath Superintendent. Counties with enrollments of 3,000 or less would be affected if Sollomon’s efforts are successful. VPI experts have offered their services along with time on the University’s computers, said the letter. Total costs of the battle to change the funding system were estimated at $23,000 and the Bath Superintendent asked Rappahannock for a $1000 commitment. The letter added that Bath County intended to continue whether or not the majority of the states rural counties joined the effort. Norton said he had already replied to the letter, expressing interest and agreeing in principal without committing the Board financially. “I’m not ready to recommend that you send them a check for $1,000,” he commented. BOARD Member Walter Masterson asked if the fight to amend the funding formula would center around changing the composite index that determines the amount each county receives in state funds. (The composite index is derived through a complicated formula that places heavy emphasis on the adjudged “fair market value” of property. Other factors included in index determination are personal property values and sales tax revenues.) Norton agreed that the composite index was arrived at by computing land values “not in keeping with income” of rural county residents and noted that taxes were paid by income, not the “fair market value” of the family farm. But Norton said he was not sure how the factor of inflated land values would be worked into the composite index. Masterson suggested that the letter from the Bath Superintendent be forwarded to the Rappahannock Supervisors. Norton concurred. “I agree that the Legislature would listen to an elected Board with more rapidity.” THE School Board voted unanimously to authorize Norton to talk to the Supervisors and notify them of the letter and, in accordance with a suggestion from Board member Alan Stokes, agreed to give Norton a letter offering the Board’s wholehearted support in efforts to amend the situation. Norton pointed out that the drive to change the funding formula was too late to achieve any results at this year’s session of the General Assembly. “We’re shooting for the ‘78 session,” Masterson responded. The Board approved and forwarded to Richmond both the Special Education and Vocational Education Plans submitted by Assistant Superintendent T. A. Fleetwood. THE new six-year vocational plan is basically the same as last year, said Fleetwood, except for an update on enrollment. In answer to a question from Board member Paul Nichols, Norton explained enrollment in the vocational programs Hadn’t increased over 1975 but noted that this year’s senior class was 40 percent smaller, with a drop from 90 to 54. “Next year we should have a slight increase,” he said. In regard to the success of the vocational programs, Fleetwood observed that out of 57 graduates who did not go on to college last year, 52 completed a vocational program or had a job entry skill. This percentage was above the 90 percent level suggested by the state. This year, said Fleetwood, the schools are attempting to identify non-college bound students in the tenth grade in an attempt to achieve a 100 percent figure with job entry skills. In the special education programs, changes at the regional school next year will force corresponding changes in county plans. The all-day, elementary learning disabled program at Piedmont will be dropped next year and two half-day secondary classes instituted instead. This action, said Fleetwood, will mean transferring the two elementary students from Rappahannock to a program in Culpeper. In addition, Fleetwood called for a full time speech program to be instituted by the 1978-79 school year. Piedmont will provide the county with a speech therapist two days a week instead of one day beginning this year, said Fleet See Pace 7

F 0 X Miller named to planning commission PLANNING Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale appeared at last Thursday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to request that the Supervisors appoint a Planner from Hampton District. “There’s been no representative from Hampton District on the Planning Commission for three to four years,” said Barksdale and asked that Newbill Miller be named. The suggestion met with far from unanimous support. “I have no doubt about his qualifications,” said Supervisor J. R. Latham but added that he felt appointing a real estate broker to serve on the county Planning Commission could result in conflict of interest questions being raised. Supervisor Chairman Pete Luke nodded his head in agreement. “I disagree,” countered Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. Refusal to appoint Miller because of his real estate interests would be discrimination against a specific business, Davis claimed. Barksdale maintained that Miller’s integrity would prevent his ever acting to serve his own interests at the expense of the county. In addition, he said that “there are enough members on the Board to keep any one member from taking the bit and running off with it.” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin formally nominated Miller, who is a former County Supervisor. “I believe he’s too big a man to profit from a loss to Rappahannock County. There was no immediate second to the nomination. Having a real estate broker on the Planning Commission could create a bad image for the county, contended Luke. “Look at the way it’s cropped up in Fauquier,” he said, in apparent reference to conflict of interest charges leveled recently against Fauquier Planning Commission Chairman Phil Nelson because of his development oriented interests. “THERE’S no legal reason why Newbill can’t be appointed,” insisted Davis. “I can’t conceive of it doing anything more than upgrading the image of the Planning Commission. “I also object to these names popping up on the spur of the moment to be voted on,” added Latham. Supervisor Butch Easthamagre ed, but he seconded Miller’s nomination anyway. Supervisor Wood also decided to support th£ nomination, although he commented that he didn’t see the need for another Planning Commission member. Miller was elected for a four-year term. THE Supervisors attempted, again, to do something about a county gun ordinance to control hunting from public roads. At the Board’s request, game warden Jim Bankston brought in copies of two ordinances enacted by Culpeper County. “I don’t think we should pass either one,” said Luke, “because they’re contradictory and ambiguous.” Instead, he suggested that Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis and Bankston write something in place of the two ordinances from Culpeper for adoption at a future date. With this, Luke was ready to move onto other items, but Davis appeared anxious to make a statement. Despite the Chairman’s insistence that nothing more was necessary, Davis was adamant. “I want to give you some more bad legal advice,” said Davis, in reference to a Rappahannock News editorial calling Davis to task for allegedly giving the Board “bad legal advice” when the first gun control ordinance was improperly enacted two months ago. “These ordinances (from Culpeper County) are ridiculous. They will not serve any useful purpose,” claimed Davis. When Luke interrupted to explain that the Board had no intention of adopting either ordinance and, in fact, agreed with Davis, the Commonwealth’s Attorney responded, “I’ve been quoted so damn much, I want to make my own quotes.” In addition to opposing adoption of the Culpeper ordinances, Davis maintained that he wouldn’t attempt to write any ordinance at all under the provisions of the state enabling legislation. If the enabling legislation itself is ineffective, where does the responsibility for the error lie, asked Supervisor Latham. With the state legislature, answered Davis. He guessed that the enabling act was passed on the last day of the General Assembly session as the result of pressure from special interest groups. “ARE you going to protest to the Attorney General?” asked Latham. Davis answered that he was not. “I’m more confused than ever,” commented Supervisor Wood. Luke interjected that the county could still write its own ordinance. The Supervisors can write an ordinance making it illegal to hunt or attempt to hunt within 100 feet of a public road right-of-way, said Davis. He maintained that he had presented such legislation to the Board previously and “the ones opposed were the game wardens.” Luke pointed out that Davis hadn’t brought the legislation before the current Board and Bankston added that he wouldn’t oppose Davis’s suggestion. He added that he had only brought the Culpeper Ordinances in as possible solutions, and that he had done so at the request of the Board. “Every time you pass a law making it inconvenient for hunters, they go to Richmond and get exceptions made,” said Davis, commenting on the difficulty of getting an effective gun control ordinance on the books. He agreed to work with Pete Luke on drawing up a county ordinance and further suggested that Rappahannock limit its hunting season to the same time period as in the western Blue Ridge area, where the season ends two weeks earlier. Bankston agreed that this would help to stop the influx of out-ofcounty hunters into Rappahannock. Culpeper County had recently decided to ask the Game Commission to change the county’s season to correspond to that west of the Blue Ridge. “Seventy-five percent of the deer are killed in the first two weeks,” added Bankston. DAVIS said he would also work with Luke on a proposal to limit the hunting season but observed that it might be necessary to hold the required public hearings on the matter in the school cafeteria to accommodate public interest. To fill expired positions, the Supervisors appointed Carter White from Boston to the Welfare Board, and reappointed Francis Thornton to the Chapter 10 Board and Bob Anderson to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. At the close of the open meeting, the Board adjourned to a long executive session to discuss Welfare and Sheriff’s Department personnel.—Daphne McCullough □ Garden club The Rappahannock County Garden Club will meet Wednesday, January 19 at two o’clock at the home of Mrs. Allen Stokes, “Orchard Hill,” Sperryville.

■ - .T • * I <. Court house report A two-story addition is recommended THE long-term solution to the lack of space at the Rappahannock County Court House would be a new two-story addition with a basement, according to the study received from the University of Illinois National Clearing House for Criminal Justice Planning. After examining the existing facility and estimating future case load levels, the architects estimated that 2,130 to 3,708 additional square feet of space will be needed to meet court needs. The case load in General District Court was 841 in 1975. The report estimated that this would jump to between 1,238 and 1,855 by 1996. Circuit Court’s case load averaged approximately 172 between 1972 and 1975 and is expected to increase to between 121 and 162 by 1996. To handle the expected increase and to correct existing lack of space, the report calls for the addition of several extra rooms. While finding the single large jury courtroom “sufficient to handle trial proceedings of the Circuit Court in the foreseeable future,” the report suggested that any plan for improvements include an elevator and second exit staircase. Also, the county should have a non-jury courtroom with seating for 15 to 30 spectators for bench trials, juvenile hearings and motions, totaling 600 to 800 square ^et. 'Air attorney/client conference room of 100 to 150 square feet should be provided for private conferences, according to the report, and if properly located, could double as a witness waiting room or even short term holding room. In order to accommodate three different judges the report calls for a visiting judge’s chamber of 200 to 300 square feet that could also be used as a law library and judicial conference room. To serve the judicial suite, the report sug gests a 100 to 150 square foot secretary/reception area. SPACE for sequestering witnesses prior to court appearance is needed, according to the University planners. Ideally., two spaces should be provided, but one could suffice. The 100 square foot rooms could also be used as conference or holding rooms, The clerk’s office is already seriously overcrowded. The report recognizes this and also allows for future needs. Each court clerk should continue to have a private office but the two should be located in closer proximity because of shared equipment and close working relationship, the report suggests. In addition, the Circuit clerk should be moved out of a separate facility and into the courthouse proper or a new addition. A basement on the addition is proposed as an “excellent and inexpensive means of gaining additional space.” The report estimates that 100 to 200 square feet will be needed to handle the clerk’s additional staff, with storage space for records to be increased as needed. Also suggested is allowance of 80 to 120 square feet for a court reporter. While the prosecuting attorney’s function may expand in the future, the planners didn’t estimate increased space needs there and assumed that the added workload would be handled by making the position full-time, instead of part-time. The county currently does not have a public defender, and if one is used in the future, the report recommended that office space be provided outside the Court House. THREE alternatives to accommodate the increasing space needs are presented in the document. The first alternative, to remove all non-court related activities from the Court House, would provide only about 780 square feet when '■•■vlUUUUlflM I I MMtldll III III til Iff III I III IIMH | in III III IIIIHIIIIIIHIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC. Ford & Mercury NEW MARKET, VA, 75 Used Cars & Trucks in stock at all times CALL: Robert G. Dennis — Local Sales Rep. 987-8116 1,420 to 2,060 will be ultimately required. Moving all county offices would free space for the General District and Juvenile and Domestic court clerk, judges chambers, witness waiting rooms and “alleged offended holding rooms,” but would not allow for a second courtroom or the relocation of the clerk’s office. Construction of an annex, the second alternative, could be planned to link the Court House and clerk’s office and could be built to provide additional space for non-court related county offices, depending upon the need and budget constraints. “Objections of local and state historical societies would no doubt have to be addressed,” the report noted. The third and most expensive alternative presented in the report is to remove the courts entirely from the two existing facilities and construct a new courthouse at a remote site. In addition to the cost problem, an alternative use would have to be found for the old courthouse, if the county opted for this solution. In conclusion, the report favored the construction of a two-story addition, linked to the existing facility by a lobby, stairtower and elevator block. A basement under the addition could provide for storage and future expansion. The first floor could have workspace and public desks for both the circuit clerk and the general district, juvenile and domestic clerk. Both offices would have direct access to the basement. The ground floor of the existing facility could then be used for non-court related activities. The second floor of the addition could house a non-jury conference room, judges chambers, holding and witness waiting rooms, attorney/client conference room and space for a secretary/court reporter. POTENTIAL problems with the addition as proposed will include the location of the judicial chambers and the jury deliberation rooms. These rooms will have access only through the large courtroom and expensive, major architectural revisions would provide the only solution. The separation of the two courtrooms will also require two “holding areas.” The report made several recommendations.

If Rappahannock decides to go forward with the idea of an addition, the report- maintained that the county “should emb&rk on the planning process” and hire a professional architect, working closely with the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission. Any proposed addition should be done with respect for the existing design of the old Court House and should be compatible in materials and scale, the report concluded. Rappahannock is under no obligation to accept any of the proposals outlined in the report and may decide to adopt part, none or all of the recommendations. Whatever decision is made, the National Clearing House volunteered continued help in reviewing any programs and plans.—Daphne McCullough □ Mr. and Mrs. Herndon C.

Rappahannock landfill still alive From Page 1 it,” noted Supervisor J.R. Latham in reference to the chance that Rappahannock may obtain funding for a public landfill after allowing the Updikes to operate a private facility and then find itself with two landfills. The Supervisors don’t issue special use permits perse, said Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis. In order for the Board to act, it must rezone the area and designate the rezoned property as a sanitary landfill. The property could be purchased and run by a public or private concern with th|is procedure, explained Davis. v It would be possible to exercise much more control over how the landfill was operated if the county owned it, said Davis, particularly in regard to accepting outof-county trash. The county couldn’t very well tell a private operator that he couldn’t bring in refuse from outside Rappahannock. If the county owned the site, “they could establish the policy of not running it themselves but could lease it to a private operator,” and still retain control over how the facility was used. LUKE asked the Updikes if they would be willing to specify in writing to the Supervisors that they wouldn’t take anything but Rappahannock trash. Neither Ruth nor E.B. immediately responded. “Or would you be willing to buy the property and then lease it to the Board so the Board could exercise more control?” he asked, again. Again, he received no direct response to his question. Mrs. Updike did say that Community Trash had no intentions of hauling out-of-county refuse into a Rappahannock landfill on a regular basis. Economically, it wouldn’t be feasible because of the hauling distances involved. But she added that in an emergency, if a truck broke down, it might be necessary to use the landfill, in Rappahannock for trash from elsewhere. “There’d be no reason to do it,” added E.B. Updike. “Every other county has their own landfill.” Davis noted that a special use permit would still be needed for the actual establishment of a landfill, even after a rezoning. In an amendment to the county’s ordinance, the Supervisors could include a provision for the issuance of a conditional use permit, advised Davis. Then a large parcel of land could be rezoned for a landfill but the conditional permit could control the area of excavation. “This would give the Board much more flexibility,” concluded Da“The landfill would have to be operated under state regulations, no matter what we do,” noted Supervisor Latham. “THE biggest question seems to be out-of-county trash,” said Davis. He expressed reservations about imposing too many restrictions on the landfill’s operation. “The more cost you impose on the operator, the more cost he has to pass on to the taxpayer.” In regard to citizens’ objections on the location, “any place you locate a landfill, you’ll have objections but the same people who object are also going to demand that something be done with the trash.” “Col. Luke, to answer your earlier question, we would be willing to buy the land and then lease it to the county,” said Ruth Updike, and mentioned a possible rental fee of $100 per year. Davis seemed to feel that such a lease agreement would not be necessary in order for the coun ty to exercise adequate controls. “With the special use permit, you can add any conditional safeguards that you deem necessary.’’ He expressed concern over having to discuss the landfill problems publically, citing what he called “inaccurate” press coverage of previous discussions on the issue, but he failed to mention any specifics. Luke asked for an informal sur-. vey of support for the rezoning proposal. Supervisor Wood answered that he would vote against it and Supervisor Baldwin again stated his preference for a countyowned landfill. “You have to rezone first, whether its public or private,” countered Davis.

GED courses available For a variety of reasons, many adults have been unable to compl> ete a regular high school program of instruction. However, a person can make considerable educational progress through a variety of experiences encountered in everyday life. It is the purpose of the General Educational Development (GED) Testing Program to provide a means by which such educational experiences can be evaluated and recognized. The GED Tests provide persons with the opportunity of earning a high school etiuivalency diploma or certificate, making it possible for them to qualify for certain jobs, to gain promotions, and to pursue higher educational or other personal goals. High school equivalency diplomas or certificates issued by Virginia Department of Education on the basis of satisfactory GED test scores are official documents and are nearly always accepted in the same manner as regular high school diplomas for meeting high scho ol graduation requirements for employment and admission to apprentice and other training programs. In addition, most colleges and universities have incorporated standards into their admissions policies for accepting GED test scores in lieu of complete high school transcripts. Classes are conducted at Piedmont Technical Education Center every Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:45 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. GED tests are given monthly. On Tuesday, December 21, Lester W. Deal was awarded his General Educational Development Certificate. Deal and his wife, Hazel, live in Sperryville and operate Sperryville Sandwich Slop and antique shop.

They excitedly summoned Mr. Corker, father of one of the youngsters, who could hardly believe the three and a half foot snake, was real. Conjecture is that the reptile crawled out of a groundhog hole and froze to death. Tracks in the snow toward a hole nearby substantiated the theory.□ Concert group The annual membership meeting of the Culpeper Community Concert Association will be held on January 18 at 8 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, Culpeper.
