VIRGINIA STATE LIBRART HMOND 19* VA. 23219 h The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 Washington, Virginia v' v' Phone 675-3349 Z5r Feed Program Still Lacking The drought disaster reliefs emergency feed program, scheduled to terminate on September 1, has been extended through December 1 but most Rappahannock fanners are still ineligible for assistance. County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCA) director Tom Eddins reported that only seven out of 25 applications to date had been approved for feed cost reimbursement. "The program is not doing as much as I’d like it to do,” said Eddins, adding that he had hoped for extension until April 15 or May 1. “In time, we’ll be able to do more...after hay and corn losses are determined.” In order to be eligible for payment, a farmer must raise his own feed and be able to show substantial crop loss due to the drought. So far, only pasture losses are considered in determining eligibility. Eddins said that the county ASCS committee had set September 1 as the date for an expected second cutting of hay. After that time, hay losses will affect eligibility. Corn harvest date is an individual thing, said Eddins, and will be determined on a farm-to-farm basis, depending on whether the crop was planned for silage or grain. Harvesting for grain can be done as late as October 30, he added. Eddins urged farmers to reapply for the program after they harvest corn and hay. Under emergency feed assistance, farmers who qualify are reimbursed for 50 per cent of feed costs, not to exceed two cents a pound or $40 a ton. For eligible farmers, any feed purchased after July 23 is covered for reimbursement. Applications for the program are available at the ASCS offices across the street from the courthouse in Washington. School Will Get Discharge Permit By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board was alerted at last week’s meeting on the necessity of upgrading the elementary school’s sewage treatment lagoon. Superintendent William Bloomer informed the Board that the school’s State Water Control Board discharge permit had expired on June 30 and wouldn’t be renewed under the new effluent standards adopted by the SWCB. In a telephone interview, SWCB representative Steve Jurewicz said that processing on application renewal had Incomes Grow Per capita income in Rappahannock County has increased 62 per cent between 1969 and 1974, according to United States Bureau of the Census figures released this week by the Rappahannock-Rapid an Planning District Commission. Per capita income was $1,980 in the county in 1969, $2,547 in 1972 and $3,208 in 1974. During that same period, income for residents of the town of Washington went from $2,919 to $3,892 to $4,809 in 1974. Per capita income for the entire Plannibg District rose 60 per cent during the five year’s time and for the state as a whole, income increased 57 per cent. In the Planning District, Fauquier County showed the largest increase (63 per cent) and had the highest 1974 per capita income ($4,492). Madison County showed the smallest increase (56 per cent) and had the lowest 1974 per capita income ($3,146). Rappahannock New* Staff Photo/Daphne McCullough MICHAEL HESSE, the Rappahannock Lion’s Club sponsored exchange student, “studies” American eating habits in Capt. and Mrs. Howard Holschuh’s kitchen. German Student Visits County In the interests of international good will, Michael Hesse is spending five weeks in the county with Capt. and Mrs. Howard Holschuh as part of hte Rappahannock Lion’s Gub Youth Exchange program. “Michael is here to understand how Americans live and work,” said Holschuh. “And eat,” Michael joked, expressing an interest common to active 17 year-old boys everywhere. Michael is from Eschwege, West Germany — a far different environment than rural Rappahannock County. Eschwege is a large industrial center that recently celebrated its 1000th anniversary. ‘‘A little before our bicentennial,” commented Capt. Holschuh. Michael is in his final, 13th year of high school and begun, despite the effluent’s drop below the new standards. He stated that the permit would be renewed—with or without the School Board signing a consent order agreeing to upgrade the lagoon system. Should the School Board sign the order, the permit would include both interim and final limits on discharge quality, said Jurewicz. He noted that the interim limits, in effect until upgrading is completed, are a little less strict than even the previous standards in the area of suspended solids. After the plant is upgraded, then the more stringent standards “to meet the letter of the law” would apply, according to Jurewicz. Once the consent order is signed by both Dr. Bloomer and the executive secretary of the SWCB, final plans for lagoon improvements must be submitted to the SWCB for approval within 120 days, Jurewicz continued. He added that actual construction must begin within 90 days of approval of the final plans and must be completed, with the system operational, in another 180 days. Liable For Citizen Suit Jurewicz said that a permit would still be issued without a signed consent order, but in this case the permit would not include less stringent interim limitations on effluent. Instead, the discharge would be measured against the new lower levels on suspended solids and biological oxygen demand (BOD). If the effluent did not meet the new allowable levels, Jurewicz noted, the School Board would be liable for a citizens suit and “we would consider taking the School Board before the SWCB for a hearing.” Jurewicz said that the main speaks fluent English, a definite advantage in visiting the States. “I’ve beeh studying .English since fifth grade,” he explained. After graduation, he will serve his compulsory 15 months of duty with the German army. “I think I will stay longer because I can learn there,” he added. Once his military service is completed, he plans to study to be a building engineer in his father’s contracting business. Michael’s father is one of the founding members of the Eschwege Lion’s Club and volunteered to take part in the Youth Exchange program after being contacted by U.S. Lion’s Club representatives. Last year, an American girl from Norfolk stayed with the Hesse family in their home. Michael’s cousin is also an exchange student this year, visiting a family in Norfolk. At home, Michael plays forward on his high school basketball team, a sport that has become increasingly popular in Germany. “We have soccer, swimming, gymnastics and volley ball, but most play basketball,” Michael commented. “Nobody in Germany plays baseball,” he added, in answer to a question on America’s national pasttime. For eight years, Michael has also been a member of a rowing team for an athletic club not connected with the school and has taken part in regattas throughout the Eschwege area. His home is located only five kilometers, about three miles, from the Soviet border to East Germany. “It’s a terrible border. No one can come over,” said Michael. Mines, barbed wire, towers, bunkers, patrols with dogs problem with a lagoon sewage treatment system is controlling the level of suspended solids. “A lagoon is kind of undependable to meet a secondary level of treatment,” he noted. "The turn-over this spring showed that it is very possible for this (the elementary school’s) lagoon to have upsets.” Lagoons Not Consistent He said that Rappahannock’s lagoon had done well before, but its operation this past spring indicated that it was not an acceptable system for meeting secondary treatment levels. “A lagoon by itself will not meet standards consistently,” Jurewicz stated. Rappahannock Elementary School’s sewage system i^not alone in its difficulty meeting the SWCB’s new effluent standards. Other jurisdictions are having the same problems, according««to Jurewicz. He noted that the permit process had been delayed while the Richmond SWCB offices came up with a method of handling those in violation of the new standards. He declined to give suggestions on how the School Board should go about upgrading the elementary school’s legoon system and would not make * any estimates on the possible cost. “The SWCB was not intended to function as a consultant. The School Board will have to hire engineers” for that, he concluded. Grain Allotments May Be Removed Local ASCS officials have been advised that allotments on corn, sorghum, barley, and wheat may be removed as a requirement for determining eligibility for disaster payments on the 1977 crops. Tom Eddins, County Executive Director in Rappahannock County, stated “We have been advised to start taking applications from all farmers with planted acreage if they feel they have an abnormally low yield because of the dry weather or any other natural disaster. Their eligibility and subsequent payment will be based on their planted acreage rather than the allotment if the final version of the new farm bill is approved by Congress and signed by the President” Both the House and Senate have passed a version of the farm bill and the conferees have agreed on the portions that will affect low-yield disaster payments to farmers. “All farmers who feel their grain crops have been seriously damaged by the dry weather should get in touch with us,” Eddins said. “Those farmers who are going to destroy their crop or harvest it for other than grain should notify us prior to taking any action because we must appraise the production of the fields.” If lack of an allotment or overplanting of an allotment kept a farmer from filing a disaster application earlier and the crop has been destroyed or harvested, the farmer should call the local ASCS Office immediately in order to establish as much crop damage evidence as possible. “This could have considerable effect on the payment,” Eddins sakl. The local ASCS office is at Washington, Virginia and the phone number is 675-3616. and “self-shooting machines” that are triggered by a trip wire guard the line between the two countries. “Maybe once a month somebody flees over,"'he added. Michael has visited the Communist controlled state iWhere the Hesse family still has relatives. “West Germans can go to East Germany but they must pay,” he explained. Life on the other side of the barbed wire is not the same. “Their living standard is lower,” said Michael. “The houses are not looking very friendly there, all old and unpainted. There’s a difference.” He added that three kilometers inside the East German border there’s another check point with guards. The area between the check point and the border is a special zone and the only East Germans who are allowed in are those with residences there. He has been impressed with Rappahannock during his stay in the county. “It’s so wide and large. There are not many people. It is very beautiful here," he said. Michael has had a few opportunities to meet younger residents his own age. “I’ve spoken to some. They are all okay I think.” The Holschuhs think that Michael is “all okay”, too. Mrs. Holschuh said the young German is the eighth foreign exchange student who has stayed with them. “On a scale of one to ten, I’d rate Michael at one.” “Or ten,” interjected Capt. Holschuh. “Whatever is the top,” his wife agreed. Book Rental Fees Set The Rappahannock School Board has set text book rental fees for the coming year. Rental costs at the elementary level will be: Kindergarten.SI 2 Grades 1-3.S10.50 Grades 4-7.SI 1.50 Grades 1-7 will have an additional school fee of S3.50.

E. Steve DeMent Ill’s special use permit at last Thursday’s meeting. “He has to comply. If he doesn’t want to comply, he can take it to court,” stated BZA Chairman Josef Gardiner at the close of the session. DeMent’s permit to build a 70 foot by 40 foot garage and storage area in Sperryville was granted in April with conditions that required the new building to be an extension of the existing structure. Although the permit didn't specifically stipulate setback distance from the adjoining property line, BZA members have insisted that this requirement was 50 feet. It became apparent when construction began that the new building met neither of the conditions and the BZA sent DeMent a letter in May informing him that he was violating provisions of his permit. The garage and storage shed under construction was approximately 20 feet from the adjacent property and the shed was not connected in any way with the existing building. Subsequently, a ‘‘two by four” was nailed up between the two structures. When the violations weren’t corrected and faced with a suit from adjoining property owners Mr. and Mrs. Stuckey, the BZA suspended DeMent’s permit in June and subsequently revoked it in July. DeMent has maintained that his new building complies with the conditions under which his special use permit was granted. A building permit issued DeMent by the Zoning Office clouds the issue. It appears to support DeMent’s contention, stating that the new structure is to be located 20 feet from the Stuckey’s property line and joined to the existing facility by a breezeway. DeMent and his attorney Waugh Crigler along with the Stuckeys and their legal counsel were all present at last Thursday’s meeting. Crigler asked if the 50 foot setback requirement was added by the BZA, rather than being stipulated in the Zoning Ordinance. “We issued only one variance and that was for construction,” responded BZA member Hal Forward. He added that the BZA had tried to go along with DeMent and had “bent over backwards to let him build.” “We issued a variance for improvements to an existing structure," Gardiner agreed. BZA member Manwaring characterized the “two by four” nailed up between the two buildings as “ridiculous” in so far as satisfying ordinance requirements that the new building be an extension of the existing structure. Crigler explained that the two by four in itself was not intended to be the breezeway called for in the permits but only indicated where the breezeway would be constructed. “He (DeMent) is going to put a breezeway in there.” “It’s not complete,” added DeMent. “My intention is to put there exactly what I was supposed to put there.” Forward commented that the variance was issued by the BZA only after assurances had been received from DeMent that none of the neighboring property owners objected to construction proposals. He noted that apparently objections did exist, at least from the Stuckeys. Maurice Biddle, attorney for the Stuckeys, suggested that his clients be allowed to tell the Board exactly what had transpired between them and DeMent. “It's kind of hard to ex plain the feelings ir something like this,” begar Stuckey. He said he had planned on renovating hi; Sperryville property and retiring there because the town was such a nice residential community. He noted that he had expected the character of the^village tc remain basically the same, in part because the new sewer system was designed to serve the existing residents without a large built-in growth factor. According to Stuckey, he was asked by DeMent if he objected to the antique dealer’s plans to build a storage shed with an "A" roof on the property adjoining Stuckey's. He added that there was no discussion on the size or location of the building. “I certainly didn't expect a 40 foot by 70 foot warehouse, especially something frame. Can you imagine the fire hazard there, especially with old furniture stored?" Stuckey reported that he had been called by his sisterin-law who owns property across the street front DeMent's when construction began and had talked to Leake, the current tenant on the Stuckey property. According to Stuckey. Leake told him that he would be afraid to continue living there with DeMent’s warehouse located so close. “I called DeMent and told him we would appeal,’' continued Stuckey, noting that this conversation took place before actual construction began, when only stakes and string marked the location of the new building. "I told him I'd hate to see him put in an expensive foundation...Mr. DeMent said that he would send us plans of what he intended to do." Instead, said Stuckey, he received "pencil drawn sketches that looked like a six year old child had drawn them."

Traffic Crashes Reported Bill Welch of Waynesboro is recovering after being hospitalized with injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident August 7. He was operating a 74 Norton motorcycle on Route 522 south of Flint Hill when he lost control of the vehicle as the chain apparently came off. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, Welch sustained lacerations and abrasions of the face and shoulder. August 12 three miles south of Washington on Route 622 Mildred Clanagan of Washington lost control of her auto and ran through a fence. She was cited for reckless driving by Trooper Baines, who estimated damage to the car at $300.

Mon. - PH. ^•WWitd by Warrsnton Printing ft Publishing Company, Inc. THURSDAY, AUGUST 18,1977 Records Needed Rappahannock County is facing a possible series of court suits. The Supervisors have been threatened by both a developer’s attorney over a recent rezoning denial and by the Commonwealth’s Attorney over mileage reimbursement policies. The Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) may be hit with a suit from property owners whose land adjoins a tract involved in the issuance of a contested special use permit or the BZA may eventually have to bring suit itself over the same case. In view of all this pending legal action, Rappahannock needs to take extra care with the records kept on the various governmental meetings. We think it’s high time for the Supervisors to dig down deep into the county’s pockets and come up with the money to either repair the courthouse recording system or buy a new recorder. It’s past time to stop relying solely on a secretary’s fast fingers. Although notes for drawing up minutes are taken at the various meetings, they vary considerably in depth of coverage. Fanning Baumgardner’s records of Planning Commission sessions deal with substantive issues, debates between members and points raised by the audience. The minutes kept on BZA meetings are concerned primarily with who made and seconded what motion. The “other side” is beginning to take more care. At last Thursdays BZA meeting, P. E. Steve DeMent III and his attorney came prepared with both a secretary taking shorthand and a tape recorder. For the protection of Rappahannock, county government should leam from this example. Disguised Editorials ? To the editor: When this newspaper was recently consumed by its present owner, an editorial ’ was published exalting one of every American citizen’s most cherished freedoms: the Freedom of the Press. This freedom is guaranteed to us by the First Amendment to our United States Constitution and is one of the cornerstones of our 200 year old democracy. However, along with that freedom comes a responsibility of equal stature. If the responsibility which comes along with a Freedom is not met with the same fervor with prhich that Freedom is cherished, then that Freedom can not long endure. A newspaper’s contribution to meeting that responsbility which guarantees the survival of the Freedom of the Press is a contribution which the people of the community have entrusted to the newspaper and which the newspaper is therefore dutibound to uphold. One of the newspaper’s obligations is not to deceive its readers. The newspaper may state its opinion, but it ought not to tolerate or allow any practice which might intentionally or accidentally work a deception on the people of the community. One such practice is the printing of letters to the editor which are unsigned or which are signed anonymously. Every person has a protected right under the same First Amendment to the United States Constitution to express himself. If he chooses to exercise that right, he must also accept the responsibility which goes along with it, part of which is to identify himself. If such a person feels that the personal or political ramifications of acknowledging his true opinion outweigh necessity for the public to hear it, so be it; let him remain silent. Moreover, when the newspaper prints an anonymous letter to the editor, it leaves the publisher open to charges that, in fact, these letters are mere fabrications of the publisher whose goal is lo artificially manipulate public opinion. It could be alleged that these defacto editorials disguised as “letters to the Editor” were an attempt by the publisher to deceive the readers of the newspaper, especially when such “disguised editorials” are signed with such heart rending pseudonyms such as “CONCERNED BUT CANT AFFORD” and “LIFE LONG RESIDENT” and which coincidentally end by favoring a course of action which certain newcomers to Rappahannock County also favor in order to satisfy their lust for the profits they see in so called "development” of so-called "underdeveloped” counties. I am certain that the Rappahannock News would not want to continue a practice which, if continued, might risk serious charges of deception and a breach of the newspaper’s responsibility to the community. Such charges could do irreparable damage to the newspaper’s credibility. Thus, 1 feel sure that the Rappahannock News will kindly advise all of its readers to either sign their given names to all letters to the editor, or announce that henceforth, no anonymous letters will be printed in the paper. Failure to do so might compromise one of our most cherished freedoms. I proudly subscribe my name to this letter, and expect to see it printed. DAVID L. KONICK, ESQ. Castleton (Editor’s note: The News prints no "disguised editorials” in its letters to the editor column. Every letter must be signed with the correspondents real name but it is our policy to withhold the signature or to allow use of a pseudonym upon request. We discourage this practice but at the same time, we recognize that it has a legitimate use on many occasions.)

Kettering Letters To The Editor Thanks To the editor: The Rappahannock Athletic Association wishes to express its appreciation to all who helped make the baseball program a success. Many thanks to those who gave their time, gifts and services. IRVIN KENYON President Rappahannock Athletic Association Property Rights To the editor: It seems as though several of your subscribers are going to great lengths to impose their philosophy concerning the merits of farming in Rappahannock upon the remainder of your readership. While I do respect their rights to express their opinion on the subject, I also object to being lectured each week on the wonders of farming. It is difficult to determine who they are trying to impress, themselves or your readers. Those of us who were born and raised on a Rappahannock farm do not need to be educated concerning the beauty, the rewards, the hard work, and the disappointments associated with farming by new comers to the County. Especially from those who disseminate pearls of wisdom from behind pen names or meaningless titles. Are you listening Ima and Erstwhile Farmer? If you are so proud of your farming accomplishments, why not share them with the natives who may not be as fortunate as you in their agricultural endeavors? Everyone is aware of the havoc that the drought has created for the farmer this year. Therefore, I would be very interested in learning how much of your income you expect to derive from the fruits of your labor on the farm this year. Speaking of your crops, how are your tax shelters and tax credits doing this year? Perhaps a steady application of pension and outside income will see them 7 through the drought. It is apparent that several of your readers have lost sight of one very important factor that sets a democracy apart from other forms of government—the ownership of property. That ownership carries with it the right to have a say in the utilization of that property. Unless Rappahannock has changed the principles upon which this country was founded, majority rules—not just the individuals who possess the strongest set of vocal cords. There is room in Rappahannock for those who wish to farm their land, and there is room for those who wish to utilize their land for other purposes. I do agree with Ima’s statement that “the land is my friend”, but without individual freedom of choice that land isn’t worth much. Just ask the people of Russia or China. FRANCIS UPDIKE ++H—(The creed of today becomes the deed of tomorrow.—E. Stanley Jones SCC Hearings Criticized To the editor: On Thursday, July 28, 1977, in a public statement, Preston C. Shannon, Chairman, State Corporation Commission, urged Virginia Congressman to defeat the Dingle Bill, which would shift the rate-making authority from state to federal agencies. In this statement he said, “it is difficult enough for citizens of a state to come to the state capitol and testify in electric rate cases.” He also noted that the SCC has held hearings around the state, “in order to afford citizens an opportunity to make known their views to the Commission." That Friday, Potomac Edison notified consumers that a rate increase hearing was scheduled by the SCC on October 4 and 5, in Richmond. The average Potomac Edison consumer lives over 100 miles from Richmond. Therefore, his public statement, evaluated together with the Commission’s scheduling hearings in Richmond can only mean: 1) The Commission is knowingly aiding Potomac Edison at the expense of the consumer, by restraining, through distance, the consumer from attending the hearings. This course of action could easily be turned into a closed-door charade. 2) The Commission’s actions cast a further doubt whether the SCC can effectively ensure that the interest of the consumer will be represented at the hearings, as stated in the Constitution of Virginia, Article IX, Section 2. The SCC should include the people that are most effected by the rate increase, by relocating the hearings to a central location within the confines of the Potomac Edison service area. Only through rational communication in an open hearing between the consumers and Potomac Edison, can there be established a better understanding of the problems. Hearings that are impossible for the people to attend achieve nothing more than a greater degree of suspicion by the consumer. Contact your State Senator or Delegate! These elected Officials appointed the SCC members. They can persuade the SCC to listen and act.+ Others can call the SCC (free of charge) by dialing 1800-552-9760 and express their feelings.

Timber production or some other objective is usually the primary interest. Fortunately, wildlife populations in this area will almost always benefit from management practices which are aimed primarily at timber production. A case in point is Madison County’s Rapidan Wildlife Management Area. The Virginia Game Commission manages this area mainly for wildlife (and recreational pursuits that depend on wildlife), yet timber sales are not uncommon. In order to manage for maximum production of wildlife, we must first have a basic knowledge of ecology. The proper definition of ecology (despite modern corruption of the word) is “the study of the interrelationships of plants, animals, and their environment.” An important aspect of ecology is the process of succession—a natural series of events involving the replacement of one group of plants by ^another. Each successive group of plants characterizes a distinct stage. The key to wildlife habitat management lies in recognizing the animal species associated with each stage of succession. The early or “young” stages in succession, such as the brush, brambles, and pines that invade an abandoned field, are actually capable of supporting a greater diversity of wildlife than the later stages. Deer, grouse, and a wonderful variety of songbirds tend to favor the young forests. This is why timber harvests and wildlife management are so compatible. Mature forests of oak, hickory, and maple are the best habitats for squirrels and turkeys. The ideal wildlife area contains nlany plant species, representative of several stages. The more diversity, the better. Food and cover are the basic components of wildlife habitat. Wildlife plantings can provide both. One quarter of an acre is an optimum size for a wildlife planting. The Virginia Game Commission distributes a limited amount of seed for game patches. The Virginia Division of Forestry nurseries produce wildlife shrubs which are sold at cost of production. (Seedlings are available for planting in March.) Species which are best suited for planting in this area are autumn olive, bicolor lespedeza, persimmon, sawtooth oak, and bristly locust. Other practices which can make a woodlot more at tractive to wildlife are: 1. Encourage the growth of fruit-bearing trees which may be already present in, the area, such as old apple trees, oaks, hickories, and persimmons.' 2. Provide watering holes. Most forms of wildlife do not require a source of water other than rain and dew but may be attracted to a watering hole. 3. Leave trees which are old and hollow for “den trees.” Squirrels, owls, and wood ducks are examples of wildlife which require den trees. f o u • 11-M4- 4* G r o u a • D • • r — — ■ ■ ■ f 4-T u r k • y-—-> * -Squirre I—■ ■■■ ■ ■ -) --> B • a r Field Sparrow Meadowlark Robin Bluebird Goldfinch Indigo Bunting Cot bird tpurow Hawk Scrooc h OwI Pin* Warbler Ited-breasted Nuthatch To w he a Downy Woodptckir B I u • Jay Whippoorwill Sharp-ahlnntd Hawk Plicated Woodpecker Wood Thrueh ; ■ffi’ DIAGRAM represents ecological succession from an open field situation.

Call the doctor"; a doctor may not be available to come to the scene of the emergency! "Ute current Red Cross training manual for First Aid and Emergency Care provides some grim reminders for each of us: "Statistics show that accidents are the leading cause of death among persons from 1 year old to 38 years old; thereafter, accidents are one of the leading causes The annual cost of medical attention, the loss of earning ability due to temporary or permanent impairment, the direct property damage, and the insurance costs amount to many billions of dollars each year, not to mention the toll in pain, suffering, disability, and personal tragedy Being reminded is surely necessary, but even more important is the matter of coping with the situation. During the recent and most severe winter in our history, several members of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad completed a comprhensive First Aid training course. We feel that the reason for this typical effort is also important for you to know about. To help alleviate the statistics quoted above is basic to the mission of the SVRS. Prompt rescue service, first aid knowledge and skill can mean the difference between life and death, between temporary and permanent disability, and between rapid recovery and long hospitalization. The volunteer service mission of the SVRS is to help you. your loved ones, your friends and visitors when an emergency arises. The State and the public are insisting on more thoroughly trained personnel and more up-todate-dquipment. This requires funds from the people in pur service area, since the County'does not fund rescue services in Rappahannock. Now you have the reason for this letter. Your continued financial support will enable the SVRS to provide the between element when an emergency arises. The members of the SVRS who provide rescue service for you and your Community are now asking you to volunteer your financial assistance. Your support will enable us to continue serving you. Please make your check payable to SVRS and send it to Cecil Baldwin, Sperryville Virginia 22740. Finance Committee Cecil Baldwin, Chairman Respectfully, Dale J.

Full-Day Kindergarten Set i»y uArnmi, MCCULLOUGH Rappahannock N«n Suff Writer A full day kindergarten program will be offered in Rappahannock County for the first time when school opens on August 29. The ^county School Board members voted last week to authorize the full day program at the recommendation of Superintendent William Bloomer. Bloomer reported that kindergarten enrollment was holding at 60 pupils. State Standards of Quality allow a 32 pupil maximum class size with a teacher and one aide. As long as enrollment does not top 64, the county will be able to avoid half-day, split classes for the state mandated kindergarten. The full-day program coincides with the preferences expressed by a majority of parents who responded to a kindergarten survey taken recently by school personnel. Bloomer told the Board that 60 PARTLOW'S Cleaners * DRAPERIES * STORAGE MOTH PROpFING FREE Pick-up4. DEtivERyf 635^5136 106 W 14th FRONT ROYAL questionnaires were mailed. Out of 46 parents who returned the forms. 27 selected the ful]-day options, three selected the half-day option with the parents responsible for picking up their children at noon and 16 choose the half-day program with transportation provided by the school to a central pick-up point. Bloomer emphasized that parents would still have the option of a half-day program, even under current plans, if they make arrangements with the school to pick up their children regularly at midday. The School Board members heard some good news and some bad news in regard to federally funded title programs. They got the bad news first. No Tide I Funds Yet Assistant Superintendent Ray Hogan told the Board members that Rappahannock’s Title I funds, used for corrective reading and math programs, were being held up “because of complications far removed from here.” The Department of Health, Education and Welfare has ruled that funds for the entire state will not be released until difficulties in the Richmond area are resolved, according to Hogan. “We are not authorized to spend any Title I money right now," he said, adding that he couldn’t even order necessary materials for the program. The difficulties should be MOYERS MOTOR CO., INC. Ford St Mercury NEWMARKET, VA. 75 Used Cars St Trucks in stock at all times CALL- Robert G.

Board Chairman Beverly Massie noted that funds left over from the summer program could be used to pay salaries for Title I teachers until the county’s funds are restored by HEW. Additional Federal Funds The county may be awarded some additional federal funds under the Title IV program for inhovative or exemplary education, reported Hogan, presenting the School Board with his good news. He said that the program he envisioned for adoption in Rappahannock would center around the development of student work sheets designed to measure basic grade level requirements in preparation for competency tests mandated for graduation. He added that he may encounter problems in co ning up with a program that meets minimum funding levels established for Title IV-C. Minimum funding for the first year of operation is set at $25,000. Maximum funding is $100,000. (The information sheet supplied by Title IV-C staff notes that federal funds for the programs will be reduced in years two and three, indicating that localities will have to pick up a greater share of the costs at that time.) The School Board gave Hogan permission to continue with planning for a possible application for Title IV-C funds from the county. In another matter, the School Board turned down a request from the Rappahannock Recreation League for use of the high school gymnasium for volley ball and basketball. Bloomer reported that high school principal Dennis Wingfield recommended the request be denied since he felt use by the Recreation League would conflict with girl’s and boy’s basketball practice and games. Chairman Beverly Massie suggested that the League resubmit its request in February after the high school basketball season is over. Reunion The family and friends of the late Luther E. and Ada F. Jenkins will hold a reunion on Sunday, August 28 at the Graves Mountain Lodge picnic shelter.

Sursum Corda Offers An Alternative The Sursum Corda School in Washington, beginning its second year of operation with the start of classes on Augut 29, offers an alternative to the traditional approach to education. "Our philosophy is to have a small school where students can relate to each other and to teachers on a one-to-one basis," said Camille Harris, one of the co-founders of the school. ‘‘We believe in a relaxed approach to learning...It takes place much more easily when it happens in a relaxed atmosphere and through fun activities.” With the advent of a mandated compentency test as a requisite for graduation, public schools have placed increased emphasis on the mastering of certain basic skills at each grade level. In Sursum Corda’s kindergarten through third grade program, children are grouped primarily by ability rather than age or grade, but Ms. Harris added that the Huntly Mrs. Robert Rutherford returned home Friday from Warren Memorial Hospital following surgery on her wrist Wednesday. Mrs. Betty West and sons, Brian and Aaron of Front Royal were Sunday dinner guests of the Rutherfords. Visitors in the Willie B. Mills home during the weekend included the Mills’ granddaughter, Miss Tammy Harris of Manassas, Tommy McIntyre of Front Royal, and Mr. and Mrs. Michael North. Regular Baptist Association The 211th session of Ketocton Association of Regular Baptist (Church) with Thorntons Gap Church as host this year will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 19-21 at Rappahannock Elementary School beginning at 10:30 a.m. Elder Wayne Thompson of Alexandria will be the moderator of this session with Elder Kirby Shenk, pastor of the host church, as assistant moderator. Women Meet The Rappahannock Women’s Club will hold its monthly meeting Tuesday, August 23 at 8 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Virginia Cloud. Centel To Sell Bonds Central Telephone Company of Virginia has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the public sale of $25 milHBn of 30-year, Series U, first mortgage sinking fund bonds. The Central Telephone & Utilities Corporation subsidiary said the proceeds will be used to repay short-term debt incurred to finance construction and refund maturing debt. The company also said it may increase the offering by up to $23 million to retire borrowings to be incurred under its pending tender offer for outstanding 10.20 per cent Series T bonds. The tender was announced August 9, 1977. Sale of the new debt securities will be co-managed by Dean Witter & Company, Incorporated, and Bache Halsey Stuart Shields, Incorporated. teachers at the school are "very aware of where children should be as far as grade attainment.” Family Atmosphere The school day at Sursum Corda begins with the teachers and students sitting together in a circle in a family-type atmosphere to discuss activities. “We put a lot of emphasis on student’s relationships with one another and dealing with their own emotions...In the circle, we talk about things that bother us individually and as a school. We solve most of discipline problems there.” •=» After the circle is disbanded, the children are divided into groups according to ability for morning work in mathematics and language arts. Both subjects are given strong emphasis, according to Ms. Harris. Because of small class size, the school is able to have a special period, a quiet time after playground activity when the children are encouraged to read on their own. "It took a while for the concept to catch on but by the end of the year, the children had learned to treasure the time they could spend by themselves—even the little ones,” said Ms. Harris. Chores Shared Another fresh concept used by the school is having the children share in the school chores. Ms. Harris said that all the students take turns on a regular assigned basis feeding the guinea pigs, straightening the library and cleaning up the kitchen. "It works out very well,” she added. In the afternoon, the children take part in learning experiences in science, social studies, drama, art, dance, music and crafts. Visiting supplementary instructors give the regular teachers help in these areas, said Ms. Harris. Field trips are taken every week—sometimes locally to Old Rag, the Jordan River or other sites for nature hikes and sometimes into the metropolitan area to museums, special exhibits atid aft gallerifcs. ' Ms. Harris feels the different age groups involved in Sursum Corda’s program benefit from each other. “The children learn a lot by having contact with others, both older and younger. She said the older children can be very effective in helping the little ones with their lessons while the younger ones teach them patience and give their egos a boost. “That’s important too,” she added.

He stated he didn’t want to renovate his property "if this is an example of what’s going to happen in Spertyville.” He added that he doubted whether he could even rent his house with DeMent’s warehouse so close. Mrs. Stuckey supported her husband’s statements regarding his conversation with DeMent. She said that the exchange had taken place over the phone with her on an extension. “There were only stakes in the ground when we called Mr. DeMent the first time and told him that there would be an appeal.” “Mr. DeMent, do you want to comment on that?” asked Admiral Gardiner. “No sir,” came the reply. “Does your attorney?” Gardiner inquired. Crigler answered that he had no comment since it appeared to him that the Board had already made a decision. Both Crigler and DeMent then left the courtroom. Man waring suggested that the BZA send additional correspondence to DeMent reitterating insistence on a 50 foot setback from the adjoining property. Gardiner asked Zoning Administrator Evan McNear if he had secured any legal advice on the significance of the building permit in relation to the special use permit. “I’ve talked to several lawyers,” McNear responded. According to the Zoning Administrator, the lawyers told him that the special use We Can Supply All Your BUILDING NEEDS CULPEPER BUILDING & SUPPLY CORP. Phone 825-8383 Culpeper permit takes precedence over the building permit if the two conflict. The special use permit “is the controlling factor,” he claimed. Biddle suggested that the Board not send any additional correspondence to DeMent reitterating the BZA's position since the special'use permit had been revoked. "I don’t think we have to do anything,” agreed Gardiner and called for a motion to adjourn. All the Board members voted in favor of adjournment except Manwaring, who insisted that the matter needed further discussion. “We’ve talked continually about grants of variance being specific so that people would know what’s being done,” he said. Gardiner inteijected that he felt the wording couldn’t be too specific. “We’ve done the best we can,” he maintained. “No, you haven’t,” countered Manwaring, citing the conflict between the building permit and the special use permit issued to DeMent. Gardiner argued that the building permit was not the BZA’s responsibility. “That was my mistake,” interjected McNear. Manwaring stated that he had a recommendation to make. “The meeting is adjourned,” Gardiner responded as he and several other BZA members gathered up papers, preparing to leave.
