Rappahannock News, April 21, 1977

& VA. STATE LIBRARY C APR 22 toll dtATE RICBMOIIO 19, U. Volume XXVIII, Number 23 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1977 FIFTEEN CENTS New elementary textbooks adopted THE Rappahannock School Board adopted new texts for reading, spelling and writing at the elementary school level to be used during the coming six years, at their April meeting. Assistant principal Buddy Carter, who will become the elementary school principal next year, presented the adoption committees’ reports. “The reading commitee really poured through three series,” said Carter, before deciding on the Book Mark series by Harcourt, Brace and Jovanovich. He said the committee was impressed by what the series taught—sentence and paragraph meaning, how to write a sentence and paragraph, and how to use an encyclopedia, dictionary, glossary and index. The first grade program includes five levels with a good phonics program, said Carter. The second and third grade programs include two levels, he added. A work book will be required for first through third graders only, Carter said. In grades four through six, students will use a “single skills’’ book and will be required to buy a work book only Recycling Center The Recycling Center at Washington is located behind the Merrill Motor Company at the end of the alley and is for the convenience of all county residents. Articles which are acceptable for recycling include tin cans, paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, magazines and catalogs. There are a few simple rules to follow in using the recycling center. Please take your items inside and sort them according to kind. Cardboard boxes should be flattened. Tin cans should be clean, ends removed and flattened. All glass should be clean and tops removed. It should be put in the proper barrel according to color, clear, green or amber. Window glass is not acceptable. Aluminum includes single pressed cans with no seams, pie pans, TV dinner trays and foil. If you have objects of which you are not sure there is an “in doubt” can. Newspapers, magazines, etc. should be tied in bundles or put in brown bags so they do not get tossed around. Wax milk cartons as for milk or cereal and dog food bags are not recyclable. The recycling center is for ecological purposes as well as for monetary reasons. This helps to eliminate the trash overflow at the dumpster sites which takes tax money to clean up. Recycling conserves resources which have been flaunted and which will from necessity require attention in the direction of recycling. Pitch in—acquire the recycling habit. Pitch in—put the articles in the proper barrels. Pitch in— it keeps the roadsides clean. Pitch in—it saves resources as well as money. Pitch in and keep the recycling center clean. What funds are derived from the recycling center will go to the Washington Fire Company building fund. For further information contact Joyce Kramer, 675-3625 or June Jordan 675-3709. These women are in charge of the center. Please cooperate with them. Use the center, and use it properly. □ In observance of Private Property Week the Piedmont Board of Realtors donated two dogwood trees and planted them at Rappahannock County High School.

He noted that the stories in the “skills book” related to and built knowledge in other subject areas, including science, mathematics, social studies, language and the arts. “Is the series keyed to the average achiever?” asked Board member Alan Stokes. Yes, answered Carter. He told the Board that the work book could See Page 13 June Jordan and Joyce Kramer hang a new sign denoting the location of the recycling center at Washington which is at the end of the alley behind Merrill Motor Co. ‘Private Property Week’ “During the week of April 1723, the National Association of Realtors will join all American home owners in the national observance of Private property Week,” said Bill Lyne, president of the Piedmont Board of Realtors. “Private Property Week annually honors the historic right of all Americans to own homes as well as the land the homes stand on. This right is one we tend to take for granted in this country. Although private property rights exist elsewhere in the world, nowhere are they as free from restrictions and government control as in the United States,” said Lyne. He said that “ours is the only nation that grew out of the free transfer of land title. This was made possible by the Ordinance of 1785, enacted by Congress three years before the Constitution was drawn up.” A number of land acts in the United States, most notably the Homestead Act of 1862, made land available to everyone almost free of charge. Although present costs are a far cry from the days of homesteading, the basic right still remains and must be protected, Lyne said. “It is our job to preserve these private property rights from government encroachment and in this regard, the Association of Realtors has and will continue to speak out whenever these rights are threatened,’’ he concluded.

LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Hard choices . ALL of us are awaiting the details before miking up our minds about President Carter’s energy policy proposals (or we should be awaiting the details before forming opinions), but about the overall tenor of his address Monday -night to the nation, there is no doubt: Our energy sources, as . currently exploited, are fin‘ ite, and if we are to avoid catastrophe, more must be done for conservation, for new approaches to the problems of living. It’s the same with that most finite of all of our elements of , living—land. And as the Rappahannock News has beenemjpnatsizing for the first six * years of its existence, something has got to be done to halt the heedless squandering of this resource. As with natural gas andoil, everybody has worked on die assumption up to now that the amount of land available for doing anything we wanted todo with it was limitless. If city t- life became intolerable, then move to the suburbs. If suburbs became clogged with traffic and ugly commercial sttrips,then move to the country. v r But what happens if the cotuntry is spoiled, too?JA£hai happens to clean air, to greeif fields, to food production, to. the future? ,, f BROAD, generalized questions, to be sure; questions that have no easy answers. But as with energy, if Americans don’t start asking themselves these questions, and start doing something about the most basic wastefulness of all, we face some staggering consequences. It will require a generosity of spirit toward the needs of the community and the nation, as opposed to short-term personal profit, that many will resist. After all, it’s not only expedient to think in terms of a quick buck, it’s pleasant— visions of retirements in a sunny clime, of lavish “motorhomes” and fancy vacations have been the motivating force behind many a farm sale, cheapjack subdivision or quickie commercial ven ture. We’ve got to stop thinking of'land as just another commodity to buy and sell for what the developers and their lawyers invariably refer to as the “highest and best use”— meaning the highest profit. In all too mahy local cases that we have observed, the truest highest and best use would have been to have simply left that pasture, that cornfield, that dairy barn alone. Achieving what some visionaries refer to as a “land ethic” will take some doing, in a land predicated on rugged individualism and unbridled free enterprise. But it can be done, must be done, if we have any concern at all about the future that our children will inherit. □ Citizens education group plans meeting The Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education will meet Monday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the Episcopal Parish Hall in Washington.

A moratorium on subdivisions, until we know where we stand, is very much in order. Perhaps the Board of Supervisors should put a time limit on it and require the Planning Commission to accomplish certain essential actions within that time, Readers should write their county supervisor supporting this if they want to save Rappahannock County. Save it from what? From the vultures who would destroy its farms and beauty by subdivisions. From the land butchers who see it only as pieces of carcass to be chopped up and sold at the higher? possible profit. Which supervisor to write? Any of these: Pete Luke, Piedmont; Clarence Baldwin, Hampton; Butch Eastham, Wakefield; H.B. Wood, Stonewall-Hawthorn; Dick Latham, Jackson.

School lagoon may need upgrading SEWAGE treatment facilities at the Rappahannock Elementary School may have to be upgraded to meet revised State Water Control Board standards, according to Superintendent of Schools O. A. Norton. Norton told Rappahannock School Board members at their April meeting that he had received a letter from the SWCB regional office notifying the Board that the allowable level of suspended solids in sewage effluent had been lowered from 48 milligrams per litter to 30 milligrams. In the letter, the SWCB asked that the school’s lagoon facility be evaluated to determine if upgrading was necessary to meet the new standards. According to Norton’s figures, solid levels were below both the old and new standards in October and November. In December, solid levels were 42 milligrams per liter, he reported. During January and February, the lagoon was covered with ice and did not operate. Readings taken in January showed that the level of suspended solids had skyrocketed to 76 milligrams per liter, said Norton. Norton said he had informed the SWCB of the change. “I told them that we had a lot of turtles in the lagoon, putting their heads up all over the place; that we had a The Northern Virginia Angus Association will sponsor its annual “Springtime” Sale on Friday evening at 7 p.m., April 29, at the Fauquier Livestock Market in MHrshnll This 1977 “Springtime” S>ale will feature top quality breeding stock which have been rigidly inspected by some of Northern Virginia’s top cattlemen.

Norton reported he was told by the SWCB on April 5 that the jump in suspended solids level was a normal seasonal increase caused by the turnover in the lagoon from winter to summer conditions. “He advised us to do nothing to upgrade the facility but to wait several months to see if conditions stabilize,’’ said Norton. “That’s the situation. I don’t think we’re through with the SWCB,’’ he concluded. □ The recycling center was cleaned up the first of this week by June Jordan and Joyce Kramer who request the cooperation of all in the recycling project which benefits everyone. The recycling trailer has steps for easy access and barrels for holding the articles which must be sorted and placed in the proper container.

Salem Easter service. All are of Washington, Va. for much good.” This is from an" account written by John Fletcher, first secretary of Mt. Salem Church near Washington. The church was first established in an old schoolhouse and as it grew in membership the present building was constructed. It flourished and eventually had over 300 members, then in 1949 with dwindling membership the church closed, and fell to the hands of vandals. The building is presently being restored as funds become available and plans have been made to have a painting day Saturday, April 23 beginning at 7 a.m. Volunteers are needed to help with the work of painting the inside of the church. Bring a paint pan and roller and join in the work. Richard Eastham of Washington will provide scaffolds and will be in charge of the project. The restoration began in 1976. Windows have been replaced, shutters are being repaired, the grounds cleaned up, floors fixed, etc. There will be a regular worship service at Mt. Salem on Sunday, April 24 at 3 p.m. The public is cordially welcome to attend. There, after services are regularly scheduled for every second and fourth Sunday afternoon,at 3 p.m.D The Rev. B.G. Titchenell of Wood - ville was the speaker for the reopening ceremony at Mt. Salem Baptist Church on Easter Sunday and delivered the afternoon worship service. More than sixty people attended the service which opened the church after it had been closed in 1949. iff W. ** *' 4* *'.mWIHHBiiS A.I The little organ that went to jail.

The “glorious lustre of her voice “was praised by a Redlands California reviewer, who said, “She is beautifully posed and her rich, vibrant mezzo-soprano soars effortlessly and agilely at her command.’’ In 1974, Miss Petros made a debut with the Houston Grand Opera in a starring role of the world premiere production of Thomas Pasatieri’s “The Seagull,” based on a Chekhov play. She repeated this role later with the Seattle Opera. After this performance, a reviewer called her, “an expressive singer with a warm lovely tone.” During the 1976 summer, Miss Petros sang at the inaugural season of the Opera Theatre of St. Louis and also at Wolf Trap farm. This season she will perform “The Marriage of Figaro” with the Opera Association of Western Michigan and “La Cenerentola” with the Florentine Opera of Milwaukee.

New elementary textbooks adopted From Pace 1 be used for extra practice for slow students while advanced children concentrated on literature. OUT of all duties as a member of the School Board, BeverlyMassie said she felt least comfortable & making decisions on what textbooks to adopt, “since I’m not an educator.” She agreed with Board Chairman E.N. Montague that it was necessary to rely heavily on the recommendations of the adoption committees, “f’m most gratified that we do not find slang in the reading texts as we did several years ago,” she added. As a spelling text, Carter said the committee for that subject recommended the adoption of the “Spell Correctly” program by Silver Burdett. Two texts, ZanerBlosser for grades kindergarten through fourth, and Noble and Noble for grades five through seven, were recommended by the writing textbook adoption committee, said Carter. Board member ArthlindaQuaintance criticized the adoption procedure required by the state every six years, since it often meant the replacement of the textbook series half way through a child’s elementary education. “Changing a series at the fourth grade level is not good educationally,” she said. Chairman Montague agreed, while noting difficulties faced by parents and educatdrs in taking arms and bucking the textbook lobby. Mrs. Quaintance stated that she was also opposed to all writing books. “I don’t think we nebd them. It’s monotonous to learn.” Montague responded that writing skills are essential in communication. ‘‘It should be a source of pride to children but it isn’t,” interjected Mrs. Massie. THE Board voted unanimously to adopt all of the committee recommendations. At the May School Board meeting, Norton said the Board will consider and adopt high school science texts. Once the texts are selected, Norton noted that a decision will have to be reached on how to purchase the books. When the local system was affiliated with Warren County, both school systems tried to use the same texts, said Norton. Now on its own, the Rappahannock sch LIBRARY LINES Your library needs your active support and use. That’s why the Americanrlibrary Association’s message during National Library Week (April 17-23) is “Use Your Library”—it’s the best thing you can do for your Library and for yourself. Just some of the services that the Rappahannock Library offers are new books each month, fiction and non-fiction for both adults and juveniles; records; cassettes; and puzzles for circulation; a Vertical Files to supplement information from books; an index to the extens Nancy Proctor of Sperryville was among the Brownies who made the table decorations for the International dinner Tuesday evening in which Cadettes, Girl Scouts and Brownies participated. ive collection of National Geographies - an excellent source of report material for students; and the privilege of borrowing books and films from the State Library. It’s services like these that are beginning to make people realize that Libraries can be an essential part of their lives. A Gallup Poll taken last year found that one-third of the U.S. population never used a library. These people are missing out on what’s undoubtedly the best bargain around. The array of services public libraries offer cost per year about what you’d pay for one dinner in a moderately-priced restaurant. The return is enormous. The same Gallup Poll found that 92 percent of heavy library users reported that their children are also library users. It also found a strong correlation between library use and high level of education and employment. National Library Week is a good time to start tapping the resources of your local library. The Rappahannock Library is celebrating the week with a Fine Free Week. Library books on your shelves are “lost” books. Few people disagree with the proposition that libraries are good institutions. While people pay homage to libraries, not enough people pay attention to them. Your library needs active support and use, not passive endorsements. □ For all your horse and personal riding needs visit 1M OLD MILL STABLES Boarding. Breaking. Training.

The rental system introduced at the elementary school may be self-supporting this year and enable extra books to be kept on hand, according to Norton. However, at the high school level, Norton reported that it was not unusual for a textbook to cost between $12 and $14. “With rentals at $1.50 to $2, the book’s gone before it’s paid for,’’ he said. “We may have to go to a fully paid system for new textbooks adopted at the high school.’’ “If we go on a purchase system, we’ll want the books there when school starts but we won’t know exactly how many to order,” Norton continued. If the Board waits to order books until September 1, then it may take six weeks for the books to arrive, he noted, while an estimate on how many books will be needed may result in having too many. Under the purchase system the School Board must either have the cash to pay for the books at the end of the. year or have the books on the shelf as inventory, according to Norton. He added that there was no space available at the high school to carry the books as inventory. “It’s not an insurmountable problem but it’s going to give somebody some headaches,” he concluded. — Daphne McCullough Mrs. Mary Quaintance of Sperryville who will retire as principal of Rappahannock County Elementary School and O.A.
