GOP Has Grand Old Turnout Kappanannock Republicans who turned out for last Friday’s mass meeting of the Grand Old Party were in high spirits. They were laughing because over 50 persons showed up at the courthouse for an event that drew only seven just two years ago. Some of the faces belonged to natives, some to newcomers and many to young people but however the participants split, one thing was certain — there were more Republicans in the courthouse on Friday than anyone expected to see gathered under one roof in the county. Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson was the guest of honor at the meeting called to select county delegates for the upcoming Republican convention. Representatives from three of the candidates seeking the GOP nomination for William Scott’s Senate seat were there looking for support. But George Beard, freshman delegate to the Virginia General Assembly, stole the show, judging from the applause and laughter that greeted his remarks. “I didn’t think I’d ever see this many Republicans in Rappahannock County in my lifetime,’’ Beard began. “But Chester Gap,” he said, shaking his head over the absence of delegate candidates from that precinct. “We need a name in Chester Gap real bad — I only got nine votes out of there.” After someone in the audience commented that there were enough at-large names in the running to cover Chester Gap, Beard still called fin, a native of the little mountain community and suggested a search for one of the nine lonesome Republicans who voted for him there in the November election. Trials Of A Freshman "A freshman delegate is a sight to behold in Richmond,” he continued. All eighteen were supplied with handbooks and went to orientation conducted by a conservative Democrat and a liberal Democrat. “I don’t know why they couldn’t have found a Republican," he joked. “I don't know either, George,” someone in the audience shot back over the laughter. As a freshman, Beard reported he was expected to sit quietly in the rear of the chambers and listen. "Floor speeches,” he said, reading from his little handbook, “are confined to those who have something to say and know what they’re talking about.” More laughter greeted his candid appraisal of a freshman delegate’s influence. In noting his assignment to two major committees (agriculture and Finance), Beard said the Speaker responsible for the assignments "must have been embarrassed — he came up here and campaigned for my opponent.” With a more serious vein. Beard praised the state's highest governing body for becoming a "bipartisan assembly” when the doors to the chambers close. Members "vote for what they think is good for Virginia, not as Republicans or Democrats,” Beard maintained. Although the current session was over, Beard said he would be going to Richmond once a month to work on the 53 finance bills that were carried over. “We have to get them ready for the 1979 session,” he explained. Beard described his weeks at the capital as “the most exciting time of my life...l look forward to going back and, Madame Chairman, 1 appreciate the opportunity to meet all these voters,” he concluded to hearty applause from his fellow Republicans. Later, Ken Styles (representative for Senate candidate John Warner) reported that “Andy Guest says George Beard is the best thing that's happened to the (Continued on Page 4) Teachers Vote ‘No Confidence’ By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer During the public presentation portion of Tuesday night’s meeting of the Rappahannock School Board, a resolution of “no confidence” was presented to the Board members from 45 county teachers. Educational Association president Donald Bomberger reported that the teachers “felt the need to strongly express their dissatisfaction with the Board's leadership and the support or lack of support, demonstrated by the Board for the quality of education in the Rappahannock County Schools.” The resolution met with resentment from School Board Chairman Beverly Massie. She charged that the teachers, during the controversy over the proposed budget, had not demonstrated a concern for their students or a positive attitude towards working with the School Board. Board member Arthlinda Quaintance said she was disturbed and saddened. The rest of the Board members declined to respond to the resolution. In full, it stated that “the teachers of Rappahannock County hereby declare that they have NO CONFIDENCE in the School Board, in that they have: 1. Failed to provide positive leadership to further the cause of education in Rappahannock County; and 2. Failed to act in a manner consistent with their responsibility to provide adequately for the educational needs of the children of Rappahannock County; and 3. Failed to adequately provide for the economic and professional needs of their professional employees; and 4. Failed to provide reasonable and meaningful processes and procedures for the purpose of obtaining broad community and employee input into the decision-making process. leacners in A corner “It is our sincere hope that you will take steps to remedy the situation so that the teachers’ faith in your leadership may be restored,” said Bomberger. "I would Embassy Tour Set l he annual Davis Memorial Goodwill Industries Guild Embassy Tour will be held May 13th. The embassies of Japan, Australia, Panama, Sweden and Morocco as well as the National Presbyterian Church and the residence of the Honorable True Davis will be included on the tour. The cost is $15 which includes bus fare, tour ticket, light refreshments and a souvenir booklet. The bus will leave Amissville Baptist Church at 8:30 a.m., stop in Rock Creek Park for lunch (bring a bag lunch and drink) and proceed to the embassies with return around 7 p.m. to the Amissville Baptist Church. Reservations must be made by April 21st. Make checks payable to Extension Home Economist Tour and send to Nancy Secrist, Extension Agent, P. O. Box 98, Washington, Va. 22747. Only 38 reservations are available. Reservations will be a first come first served like to say, personally,” he added, "that I am sorry it has come to this, but I feel that you have driven teachers into a corner of frustration and despair from which there is no longer any retreat available.” Before the teacher resolution was presented, Mrs. Massie Recognized Robert Eastham for a public presentation. Stating that he was quite concerned over the growing controversy regarding public education, Eastham said he wasn’t on the side of the teachers, the School Board or the landowners but was only “for the children being educated.” Adequate Funds For Teachers? Noting that there was nothing more important in a school system than good and dedicated teachers, he maintained that the question involved in the budget controversy was whether the school system was providing adequate funds for the county teachers. Many citizens feel the School Board is providing adequately, said Eastham, and reported that county residents were asking the following questions: 1. Is the salary raise awarded the teachers in the proposed budget a cost of living increase or a step increase? Is the problem with the label applied to the raise? 2. Why have teachers sought employment in Rappahannock County when some feel that teachers are underpaid here? (He also added that there were currently more teachers looking for jobs than there were positions available and reminded the audience to keep this law of supply and demand in mind.) 3. Should teachers consider that the cost of living is lower in Rappahannock County than in more urban areas where pay scales are higher? 4. Should teachers consider the relative lack of discipline problems here as a form of compensation? (He maintained that the discipline problems in Rappahannock Schools would increase if the wrong example was set for the students.) 5. Why can't teachers see that the amount of tax money available to the Schools is based on the county's ability to pay? Do they expect property owners to sell land that has been in their families for generations in order to generate cash to finance the teacher requests for higher salaries? 6. Why do some teachers appear to think of themselves as day laborers who punch a clock like miner workers and why do the teachers see the School Board as the mine owners? 7. Why doesn't the School Board determine compensation strictly on merit? How can anyone expect to earn a step increase just by "being here?” In conclusion, Eastham urged the School Board to review the whole system of compensation before the next budget go-round. The inevitable result of any confrontation, he added, is that the children will suffer. Rob Moffett, a first year teacher and coach at the high school agreed with Eastham that the continuing controversy between the teachers and School Board was most damaging to the students. He noted that other jobs were available if a teacher wanted to leave but added that the (Continued on Page 4) —Happahann** k Vh« l»h..i . I)a\i«f I xn.

Special Pre-schoolers Offered Hein By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH KtppaluuuMM-k New* Staff Writer Dixie Evans is one of Rappahannock's public school teachers, but her classes are held in living rooms and kitchens throughout the county. Her students range from infants and toddlers to five year olds. She’s a child development specialist and works with preschoolers who’ve been classified as "developmentally delayed", aiming at preparing her charges for entrance into the educational mainstream. Some of Dixie’s pupils are mentally handicapped, some physically handicapped and some just haven’t progressed at the normal rate because of lack of stimulation. “All of them would benefit from help before starting school," Dixie told the Rappahannock School Board members at a recent meeting. State and federal laws require that handicapped children between the ages of one and 21 be provided with an educational program. Virginia is the first and to date, the only state to take advantage of federally funded training for the child development specialists often necessary to implement the federal and state mandate for handicapped education in rural areas. Virginia is also the first state to devise a unified, state-wide program to reach delayed pre-schoolers, according to Dixie. Dixie has a masters degree in special education for the mentally retarded and is certified to teach in grades kindergarten through seven. She wanted certification as an elementary teacher so she could occasionally interrupt her efforts with handicapped children to return to a regular classroom. "I felt 1 needed to know what normal was,” she said. Previously, she worked at a training center for the handicapped with students who were 14 or 15 years old. She found her lack of progress with her charges depressing and said she caught herself thinking, "Oh, if we could only get them younger!” Certified Specialist With the aim of preparing herself to help reach younger handicapped children, Dixie took courses in child development at Madison College in a seven-weeks session in the summer of 1975. She received additional training in Fairfax County and was one of the first child development specialists certified by the state in September. The pre-school program in Rappahannock, funded this year through the Piedmont Vocational School, allows Dixie to reach special kids at an age when she can help them achieve their full potential. “I believe in the program,” she said. "It’s critical that we get to these youngsters early." Dixie’s Rappahannock students include one kindergartner already enrolled in school, one 5-year old, two 4-year olds, three 3-year olds, one 2-ycar old and a 1-year old child. She teaches all but the kindergartner in the children’s homes. Dixie's pupils are referred by the Health Department, clinics, parents, doctors, the Welfare Department and school personnel. She credits public health nurse Frances Thornton with most of the effort in identifying developmentally delayed children here. “I hope the Board realizes how much she does, not just in public health, but for the schools,” Dixie told the School Board members. After referral, Dixie's potential students—and their families—are thoroughly screened with sociological and medical reports and educational tests based on normal child development. \ Using the test results, Dixie explained that she can plot what skills the child needs to get up to age level. Parent Involvement She then draws up educational objectives with the parents for their child. “The objectives are mostly implemented by the parents so it’s important that they understand and approve... Parents are involved from the beginning. It’s almost a parent training program. They’re the most important teachers for the child.” Dixie added that it’s up to the parents to continue working with their child on a daily basis after her weekly visit. Dixie said she emphasizes the importance of play to the parents. “Play is the way children learn... It doesn’t take much time to trick kids into learning. Play is how they learn and play is what we do." She carries special puzzles and games with her when she visits her students in their homes and encourages parents to buy educational toys for birthdays and for Christmas. Dixie spends from an hour to an hour and a half with her charges working on gross motor skills (using big (Continued on Page 7) I

Wakefield Students Off To France Forty of Wakefield Country Day School’s 6th-9th grade students, accompanied by five teachers, will leave this week for an eight day educational trip to France. The group will fly from New York to Paris April 8, via Air France where they will be lodged at a secondary boarding school, the Lycee Saint Louis, which is located in the Latin Quarter just opposite the Sorbonne. In addition to the sights of Paris, the group will make day excursions to the former palace of the French kings at Versailles, to the Chateau de Chambord near Blois in the Loire River Valley, to the famous Xlllth Century cathedral at Chartres, and to Rambouillet, the country home of the French presidents where they will have the opportunity of meeting with President Valery Giscard-d’Estaing. Of special interest to the Wakefield group will be an attendance at La Comedie Francaise where they will see a performance of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. Last spring Wakefield students themselves presented this musical comedy by Miliere. The trip was organized through the FrancoAmerican Committee for Education and Travel and was made possible in part by The Inn Is In! Rappahannock’s claim to fame in the culinary world, The Inn at Little Washington, received a rave review in last Sunday's edition of the Washington Star. The Star’s restaurant critic, John Rosson, visited The Inn on Saturday and, as a result of his article, chef Patrick O’Connell and manager Reinhart Lynch better prepare themselves for the onslaught. Epicureans and gourmands should descend from the city in droves. Rosson describes the cooking as a "tour de force” that begins with Inn-made bread that melts in the mouth. He calls the herb butter ‘‘exquisite, ” the watercress soup “more refined” than any he's encountered and the mousse of duck liver “marvelously light.” The dressing for fantail shrimp a la Pescadora is “a perfect tangy tomato sauce” and the escalopes de veau a la creme includes "creamy white” veal and a sauce “so aromatic that one is tempted to call it ethereal.” O’Connell even makes a grilled winter ANNIVERSARY /vow in progress ALL merchandise at reduced prices Order Now and Save 15% On Tennis Rackets Warm-up Suits All Rappahannock & Wakefield Students 20% DISCOUNT Now open Wed.-Sat. 10-5 Rappahannock Tack Shop Flint Hill 675-3776 4 tomato into something special, according to Rosson. In concluding his comments on the entrees, Rosson said “I found myself wiping the plate clean.” Of the desserts, the Star’s critic reports that he hasn’t seen more beautiful tarts in years and never tasted pineapple sherbet that could even come close to O'Connell’s. Rosson also gives high marks to the service at The Inn, describing it as “impeccable...modest, polite, well-informed and evenly paced.” Finally, he concludes that the “comfortable yet glittering little restaurant” is one of the finest in a 150-mile radius. a special grant from the French Ministries of Education and Culture. All students at Wakefield study French, and the purpose of the trip, according to the school’s Administrator William Lynn, is to further their interest in the language and culture of France.

ByRAPOWINGS Agriculture Extenftion Agent Many years ago Alfalfa was crowned the queen of forage crops. This deep rooted legume out yielded any other adaptable hay in both quality and quantity. With the advent of the Alfalfa weevil in the late 1950’s, this crown became tarnished and Alfalfa acreage, at least in our area, dwindled. As late as two years ago you would have had a hard time finding 300 acres of Alfalfa in all of Rappahannock. Last year’s drought and inflated hay prices made a number of farmers take a second look at Alfalfa. Also, high quality Alfalfa has been fetching a good price, as its popularity increased in the East, as a hay for horses. Judging from the number ^ of requests for information on seeding Alfalfa, the county acreage should at least triple by next fall. Reports I have received indicate that this is a state wide trend. One question this current trend brings to mind. What will happen to hay r prices if we have a good hay making season next year? I am all in favor of this renewed interest in Alfalfa but I believe farmers should be aware of the problems associated with producing this crop as well as the advantages. We still have insect, winter weed and management problems. Sometimes there is difficulty in establishing a stand following corn where a large amount of chemical week killers have been used. If large yields and a long lived stand are to be obtained, Alfalfa should be planted on a deep well drained soil. Roots must be able to penetrate 3 to 6 feet deep. Lime and fertilizer must be applied on time and in the amount required. It takes above average management to make Alfalfa pay. ORCHARD TOUR Wednesday, April 12 — starting at 11 a.m. — John W.

Equally painful is the mistake of buying the cheapest possible house and then suffering through its shortcomings. I have no intention of stating how much anyone can afford for a house. This is a very personal decision. There are guidelines of monthly averages that lending institutions use for housing expenses. But - like the "height-weight” charts printed on scales - these are only averages. Don’t hold back if you feel you can exceed the guidelines. When you are willing and sufficiently disciplined to economize on other expenses, you can get a better house than the average calls for.

For example, green and red are complementary colors, as are blue and orange, and purple and yellow. To achieve harmony in a room in which you use complementary colors, however, you must use good judgement as to the quantity of color and its position. One color looks best in the presence of only a small portion of its complement, rather than an equal portion. Use complements of colors sparingly to set off the original color.

THURSDAY, APRIL 6,1978 Teachers’ Salaries J Sadness, rather than anger, was the dominant mood at Tuesday’s meeting of the Rappahannock School Board. —Sadness that the controversy over the budgetary process has separated the teachers and the Board into two camps. —Sadness that the lines of communication between the two groups have broken down. —Sadness that the budget fight has divided the community as a whole. It’s disturbing to see the school system’s linen laundered in public, but the teachers have a legitimate grievance. As part of the inducement to take a part in the Rappahannock educational system, teachers are given a pay scale that rewards experience and loyalty. This scale, with regular step increments or raises in salary, is theirs by right when they sign their contracts. This year, the School Board approved a $500 increase in each step of the teachers’ salary scale as a cost of living raise. This increase, added to the existing salary scale, amounted to a jump of 6.8 per cent, figured on the basis of the average salary for 55 teachers in the school system. But a 2.5 per cent increase already belonged to the teachers. Only the $500 increase could properly be called a cost of living raise and it amounts to 4.3 per cent— not 6.8 per cent. To call the total 6.8 per cent increase a cost of living raise is playing games with words and numbers. If the county can only afford to give its teachers a 4.3 per cent cost of living raise, then this same 4.3 per cent should have been applied to the salaries of the rest of the system’s employees also—to administrators, to aides, to bus drivers and to custodial help. Or, if the Board wanted to give everyone a true 6.8 per cent cost of living raise, then this percentage should have been applied to the teachers salaries on top of the regular, contracted-for step increment increase. This would mean a raise for the position or the job of teacher—whether first year or 14th year. In the federal government, raises are applied to Government Service levels. If an employee is promoted to a higher G. S. level, he gets the pay raise that the new rating provides. If a cost of living raise is awarded to all government employees, it comes on top of the raise for the promotion. The School Board, in this case, could leam something from the Federal Bureaucracy. Raises as part of promotion and raises for cost of living don’t mix. If a person looks hard enough, it's usuallv Dossible to find some good in any bad situation. The controversy between the School Board and' the county teachers is no exception. During the exchanges at Tuesday’s meeting, two high school students in the audience spoke out and their remarks should make all of Rappahannock’s teachers glow with pride. Jimmy Swindler and Kim Estes described their instructors as friends and spoke of them with affection, respect and admiration. In a time when headlines scream horror tales of students physically assaulting their teachers, Jimmy's and Kim’s feelings are a breath of fresh air. There’s no reason to believe the opinions of these two young adults are an exception to those shared by a vast majority of the county’s elementary and high school students. The students, at least, think the teachers are dedicated and concerned for the children entrusted to their care. —Rappahannock New* Photo /David Lyne JONQUILS OPEN WIDE TO ABSORB THE APRIL SUN GOP Has Grand Old Turnout t*_onunuea ironi rage lj General Assembly in years. 1 don't think they’ve recovered yet, George,” he added to the freshman delegate. Awarene** Of Politic* “It’s a privilege to be on hand for the largest meeting called by the Rappahannock Republican Committee in recent times — if not ever,” said Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson, adding that Rappahannock's was the only mass he’d attended. The turnout, he said, “reflects something that is going on not only in Rappahannock but throughout Virginia...An increasing awareness of politics” and concern with citizenship. “You have a balance in the bank and your bills are paid,” he told the county Republicans. "Anything in the black is better than what we face in Washington today.” Robinson reported that he had good news to announce. “There’s not enough time (before Congress adjourns) to pass all the bad legislation that has been proposed.” In addition, he noted that “the Republican delegation and right thinking conservative Democrats have been able to come together to defeat some of the bad legislation” and as an example cited the failure of “the effort to cram down our throats public financing of congressional elections." “There’s an increasing awareness of the incompetence of this administration,” Robinson maintained. He said a recent poll taken in the Seventh District showed two-thirds of those questioned as listing the President’s performance as fair or poor. “A high percentage asked if we didn’t have something worse to call him,” Robinson added. Robinson recalled that he first ran for Congress because "the Republicans had no one willing to stand up and say they wanted to run as a Republican...Here we are with four candidates, all of them running to beat the band and 1 think it's great.” He continued that it would be “inappropriate” for him to take sides. "Any one of them would represent Virginia well. They are all worthy candidates,” he concluded. Before the election of Rappahannock Republican party’s delegates to the district and state conventions, representatives from three candidates for the Virginia Senate seat made a pitch for support. Republican Senate Hopeful* Speaking for former Governor Lin wood Holton, Culpeper publisher Walter Potter first assured the audience that his paper was impartial. “The Star Exponent is not partisan — I’m the Republican,” he said. Potter described Holton as “a magnificent campaigner (who) can get people to listen to him and can get people to vote for him.” He maintained that Holton would vote with the rest of the Republicans on Senate organization bills and that Holton would draw more votes than Andrew Miller, the expected Dem^crsdifoVandidate. ^preft Marshall, a redkil merchant *from Albermwle Teachers Vote “No Confidence” (Continued from Page 1) county’s high teacher turnover rate wasn't good for the educational system. He urged the teachers, School Board members and landowners to "relax and talk things out...to really sit down and work together, for the kids' sake.” Donald Bomberger next presented the ‘‘no confidence” resolution from the 45 teachers. No Concern For Students “Speaking as a member of the Board, I am indeed sorry that the Rappahannock Educational Association feels they have no confidence in the School Board,” Mrs. Massie responded. But, she added, “until tonight the teachers have not said they were concerned or shown love for the children or demonstrated positive action for working with the School Board.” “There's no need for the School Board to hassle every time something’s brought up that doesn't sit well with the teachers,” she continued. We don't sit up here because we like the job (but) because we’re interested in education for Rappahannock’s children.” Being a School Board member is not a prestigious job nor is it monetarily rewarding, Mrs. Massie added. “I’m sorry that budget time is the only time that teachers are aware of the problems we face,” she said, adding that involvement between the teachers and the Board should be an ongoing process.” "I've attended each session of the School Board this year.” countered elementary teacher Mollie Hobson. “I resent being lumped into your opinion that the teachers haven't shown any concern for the children.” Children Not Men Booed "1 don't mean to lump all the teachers together,” countered Mrs. Massie. But, she added, “it concerns me that not one time (except during a discussion on the services of a psychologist for testing handicapped children were children mentioned” by teachers during the budget hearings. "That is what I feel is a little hard to take...The end product (of education) is children—that should be the first consideration," she maintained. Jimmy Swindler, a high school senior who'd attended the School Board meeting to request permission for a senior class trip, interjected that the main issue in the budget controversy appeared to be the teachers’ contracts. “I don't see why you should be offended that they didn’t bring up the students," said Swindler. "The teachers do care about their students,” he maintained, citing long hours devoted to extra-curricular responsibilities. “The only satisfaction they get is seeing kids like me learn,” Swindler added. Teacher* A* Friend* "I don’t think you could find another school where the student-teacher relationship is as good as it is here,” he maintained. "I’m friends with just about every teacher out there” at the high school, Swindler told the School Board. "In class and in the halls, I call them mister but they’re my friends," he concluded. “If teachers didn’t care, they wouldn’t be teaching,” stated Moffett. “We could make more money digging a ditch...I think it’s very harsh and very wrong to say that anybody doesn’t care...We’re not fighting the students or the School Board. We’re fighting for our survival." "When have you been in the schools and seen that the teachers didn’t show love and concern for their students?” Mrs. Flincham asked the School Board Chairman. Teacher*’ Image “I think the comments I made are being misconstrued,” countered Mrs. Massie, adding that she said a lack of concern was shown during the budget presentations, not in the classrooms. “It’s important for the teachers, through the Rappahannock Educational Association, to project a better image to the public that it’s not just monetary values teachers are interested in,” she maintained. “The administrators in the last week have not felt that the teachers are behind them...The atmosphere has been very cool,” Mrs. Massie continued. Children sense these things, she claimed. "Are you presenting a positive image to the children?” she asked the teachers. While the School Board may get the impression that teachers are concerned primarily with salary, the teachers likewise have the impression that the Board's main concern is keeping the budget to the legal minimum, interjected Jennings Hobson. He suggested that a dialogue take place between the teachers and the Board throughout the year — not just at budget time. "I see two factions now and that depresses me more than anything else,” commented Mollie Hobson. "Is there someway we can go home...as I like my children to go home, as happy people?” she asked. "Just because 1 have a job to do (as a School Board member) doesn’t mean that 1 won’t be your friend or that I don't have respect for you,” answered Mrs. Massie. She asked the teachers to be broadminded enough to ask themselves “Have I thought of the other person’s point of view?” Bitter Resentment "The teachers say they bitterly resent my comments,” the School Board chairman continued. “Well, I bitterly resent the Rappahannock Educational Association’s resolution but I plan to walk out of here thinking about what I can do to make the system work better.” “I’m glad to hear that you want to find a way we can work together,” Bomberger responded, volunteering to elaborate on any question that Mrs. Massie might have regarding the teachers' resolution. "I thank you that you will go out of this meeting tonight working for improvement. 1 hope the other Board members will do the same.” High school teacher Roger Flincham maintained that the communications network between the teachers and the Board had been stretched too far and suggested that both teachers and students attend more School Board meetings and express their opinions to the Board members. He added that he hoped to see more School Board members in the schools observing the teachers and talking with the students. Mrs. Massie interjected that each Board member has an assigned month when it is his or her responsibility to visit the two county schools. “In ten years, I’ve had only one Board member actually in my class,” Flincham responded. He maintained that “a walk down the hall, lunch with the kids and then home” couldn't possibly give the Board members an accurate picture of what was happening in the Rappahannock school system. "They only see the top of the iceberg,” he added. Elementary teacher Susan Henry stated that she resented Robert Eastham’s characterization of teachers as clock punching coal miners. “1 don’t punch a time clock,” she said, adding that she spent hours after class and on weekends in work with her students, sometimes to the detriment of her own family. Eastham answered that he'd compared teachers to coal miners because coal miners were interested in one thing — ‘‘money, money, money, money, money.” He asked why teachers "seem to give the image at times of being clock punching coal miners ... You cannot expect to be honored and loved in the community ... when you project an image of a clock punching coal miner," he claimed. "1 spend a whole year trying to teach Johnny to read," responded elementary teacher Lynn Baines. When a child can’t learn and no one knows the reason why because there aren’t enough funds in the budget to provide for adequate learning disability testing, this adds to teacher frustration, Mrs. Baines explained. "We don't get paid health insurance like coal miners,” she continued. Without health insurance, teachers with families to support on a relatively low income often hesitate to take their own children to the doctors, and instead, wait a day to see if the child will get better before spending ten dollars. "It’s not that we’re not dedicated,” Mrs. Baines continued. "We’re so damn frustrated. And it’s not just the money. Many of our requests (for psychological testing, summer school and additional programs for the learning disabled) are ongoing, everyday, through the administration.” "We all have to be innovative. It’s part of teaching," Mrs. Massie responded. Kim Estes, a high school senior and student in the Rappahannock schools for 12 years, said her classmates all "know that the teachers are behind them. We see the dedication," she maintained. Rappahannock teachers “push for you to go ahead and make something of your life,” Kim concluded. Rob Moffett asked if any of the Board members had anything at all to say in response to the issues raised during the meeting. Mrs. Massie, who had asked her fellow Board members repeatedly if they had any comment, agreed to ask again. Only Arthlinda Quaintance responded. She agreed with Moffett’s earlier remarks that better communications were needed between the teachers and the Board. She recalled that she'd taught in the Rappahannock schools for nine years and found the teachers very cooperative. “I’m disturbed by this controversy...It’s reflecting in the whole community which is a sad thing. This used to be a friendly place. Now I just hate for my phone to ring because I know someone’s on the other end with some complaint.” “We always had, I thought, a very pleasant feeling between all of us.” Mrs. Quaintance continued. “We (the School Board members) have worked hard and long and we think we’re doing the right thing but maybe we’re misguided. Maybe communication would help. We really mean to do the best we can. We don’t mean to be dictators. I feel we try to make the best decisions,” Mrs. Quaintance concluded, repeating once again the suggestion made by several speakers at the meeting — that there be an increased attempt to reopen the lines of communication between the Rappahannock School Board and the county’s teachers. County, spoke on behalf of candidate Dick Obenshain. Marshall noted that Obenshain had managed the campaigns of all the victorious Republicans in Virginia in the last decade. “I think it’s time to get behind Dick..'.He wrote the book on Republicanism in this state.” Ken Styles, dairy farmer and member of the Board of Supervisors in Frederick County, represented Senatorial candidate John Warner. “I’m a little cynical when the extremely wealthy run for office," said Styles, adding that the motives the rich have for seeking office usually include "an ego trip.” This is not the case with Warner, Styles maintained. “I sat down and talked with John...The thing that impressed me was that John listens.” Styles added that Warner was also well informed. "His image is that of a glamour candidate,” Styles continued. ‘‘There’s no question that he’s got''’the gAmour: 1 think tHaffr kn asset." Warner, because of his “’glamour,” will get millions of dollars of free advertizing out of a Senatorial campaign, Styles maintained. Warner has also been active in the Republican party “in a very quiet way” for a number of years, he reported. “John Warner will be able to raise the most money," Styles said. "We might as well lay it on the line... It’s something that may or may not be fair,” he acknowledged, in emphasizing his candidate’s economic value to the GOP. Following the presentations by the representatives of the Republican candidates, three delegates and three alternates were chosen to go to the district and state conventions. Delegates are Rappahannock Republican Committee Chairman Frances Carney, George Sharp and Chris Parrish. Before adjourning the meeting, Mrs. Carney noted that, for the first time, Rappahannock would have three delegate votes instead of two at the Republican conventions. Corrections The Rappahannock Democratic Party’s mass meeting will be held on Saturday, April 15, at 12 noon in the courthouse, not on April 8 as printed in the calendar of events for April. The Rappahannock News regrets the error in last week’s edition. Chairperson for the Rappahannock County Heart Fund Drive was Mary Quaintance, not Mrs. Paul Miller as printed in last week’s edition of the Rappahannock News. Letters To The Editor Position Clarified To the editor: There was a statement published in the Rappahannock News last week that I believe needs to be clarified. The full meaning of my statement at the school board budget hearing was not printed when I asked the question, “Why do they all receive the same percentage increase?” In the past in Rappahannock County, as well as in all school systems across the country, there has been a distinction made between professional employees and non-professional employees. Professional employees are those who have spent a considerable amount of time and money preparing themselves to be qualified for a job. They must return to school and earn six credit hours every five years in order to retain that certificate and qualification. Nonprofessional employees are those people who support the work of the system in a much needed capacity, but lack the professional training. As compensation for the time and money spent by professional employees to train and retrain, they have been paid on a scale that pays a flat step increase or increment for each year of experience which has not been included as part of the cost of living percentage increase. Our school board has eliminated that amount for professional experience. Because of that the professional and nonprofessional employees are receiving exactly the same percentage increase, and I question that. 1 agree with Mrs. Massie that the cost of living has gone up for everybody; as it stands now our teachers will not receive their share next year. As a result we will see many of our teachers leave. LYNNE B.

Watching her with one of her students is a lesson in patience, communication and perserverance. Home Visit Little John Combs is a two year old who has cerebral palsy and suffered minor brain damage from lack of oxygen at birth. John cannot sit or crawl normally. He has only partial use of his affected arm and leg and is just beginning to stand. John—and his parents—are three of Dixie’s star pupils. “Deb is one of my best moms,” Dixie commented on the way to her regular weekly visit to the Combs home. In a program where parent cooperation is vital, a mother like Debra Combs makes the job much easier, according to the child development specialist. Debra was waiting on the front porch as Dixie hiked across the field, her car r abandoned in the face of a rutted and muddy farm lane. John was waiting inside and he lit up as Dixie walked in the door. After watching her go through John’s learning program, it is easy to understand why he looks forward to her visits. For little John, the arrival of his teacher signals the beginning of an hour of fun and games with two enthusiastic supporters. Dixie and Debra conferred briefly over the progress that John had made over the last week before bringing out the educational toys. Propped up in a chair with pillows for support, John was shown a picture of keys and then asked to pick out an actual set of keys from items on his high chair tray. Dixie and Debra repeated the exercise with several other familiar objects and everytime John made the right selection, the two women clapped their hands COUNTR Y JOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Extension Agent Carrot Cake Mrs. Wade Pullen Flint Hill 2 cups self rising flour 2 cup sugar l‘/j teaspoons cinnamon l'/j cups cooking oil 4 eggs 3 cups grated carrots or 2 Junior size jars of Baby food carrots.

ASPARAGUS A plant of the lily of the valley family, asparagus comes with the first breath of spring, and is considered a luxury. In France, asparagus is often served as an hors d’oeuvre. When cooked, asparagus is drained and presented on a folded white napkin, with an individual bowl of hollandaise sauce into which it is dipped. On other occasions, asparagus is usually served as a separate course, to be savored without distraction, either hot on toast, with butter sauce or at room temperature with vinaigrette sauce. To Prepare: Snap off the tough lower portion of the stalk by holding the vegetable with both hands and bending gently to find the place where the tough portion ends. Even if you wish them all to be the same length for the sake of appearance, snap them first, then place the tips evenly together and cut the ends level with each other. Do not discard the tough ends. Wash them and simmer in a small amount of water, covered for 1 hour. Then strain the liquid and use it for sauces and soups. Thoroughly rinse the trimmed asparagus under running water (cold); sand often accumulates in the small scales. Do not let asparagus soak in water, however. When cleaned ahead of time, wrap the washed stalks in absorbent paper or cloth and refrigerate in the vegetable crisper until ready to use. To Cook: Asparagus can be tied together in convenient bunches or the stalks can be cooked loose. They can be cooked standing upright in a deep pan with a few inches of water in the bottom. This is a difficult way to cook them, and most of the time part of the stem becomes discolored. The easiest way is pancooking. They will cook in 8 to 12 minutes, depending on their size and how tender you wish them to be. When they are cut into 1 or 2 inch lengths, cook them by the stir-fry method. It takes scarcely longer than 5 minutes. It is a good idea to cut them this way when 1 pound of asparagus must serve four as a vegetable dish. When they are to be served cold or as part of a salad, cook by the professional method of blanching and refreshing. To Serve: Melted butter and lemon juice or a hollandaise or maltaise sauce are especially good for hot asparagus. Asparagus is also nice topped with small croutons fried in butter and mixed with a grated hard cooked egg, a kind of polonaise sauce. To serve as an entree or a luncheon dish, cook, then cool to room temperature. Pour French dressing (vinaigrette sauce) on top and sprinkle with graded hard cooked eggs, capers and a dash of grated nutmeg. DOG TATOO $3 Sunday only Protect your pets and hunting dogs.

Everytime they clapped and told him how wonderful he was, he threw back his head and chortled at his success, totally unaware that this was work he was doing. Besides the physical coordination involved in reaching out and picking up a set of keys and handing them to mom, John was learning to follow directions and most importantly, he was becoming aware that keys signified both a onedimensional picture and something that he could hold in his hand. John also worked at picking out triangles, rectangles and squares and then putting the shapes into the right-sized holes in a puzzle. In between, he answered a play telephone, picking up the receiver and holding it to his ear. During all the exercises, Dixie and Debra were constantly placing John’s feet and legs in the proper positions and never stopped showering the child with positive encouragement everytime he completed a task. John’s mother is determined to help her son do all he can towards normal development and she scrupulously works on his special program between Dixie’s visits. Debra Combs believes in the importance of early help for the handicapped child as much as Dixie does and counts her family lucky to be in a county like Rappahannock that offers aid to pre-schoolers. "No one knows what it means to have a handicapped child until you have one yourself,” Debra said. School Planning Helped The program that Dixie runs also plays an essential role in keeping the Rappahannock School System aware of upcoming demands.

She explained that her charges sometimes need special classes or support in making the transition from home bound to regular in-class instruction. Thanks to her program, the school administration knows years in advance of children that may require special education and can plan accordingly. Dixie urged all parents who suspect a problem in their child’s development to contact the Rappahannock School Board office for an evaluation appointment. As a guide, she has listed certain skills that most normal children can accomplish before they are five years old. At one year of age, a child should sit without support, pull to standing, turn head to voices, say "mama” or “dada” or one word and feed himself crackers. At two years, a child should walk by himself without falling, ask for common objects, point to body parts and feed himself with a spoon. At three years, he should build a tower of four blocks, throw a ball overhand, use two word sentences, draw a circle, wash and dry hands and pull on a shirt or pants. At four years old, a child should be able to catch a ball with both hands, pedal a tricycle, draw a man with two body parts, use three sixword sentences, name two colors and button large buttons.
