THURSDAY, APRIL 27,1978 i w4C Homes Burglarized Two homes, one near Amissville and the other near Castleton, have recently been burglarized in daylight hours, according to Deputy R. D. Hawkins. Goods valued in excess of $1500 was taken from each. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Farrell Nicholas on Route 640 west of Amissville was entered April 13 between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Thief or thieves gained entry into the house by breaking a pane of glass in a back door, said Hawkins. A large number of guns, a knife and a scanner were taken; apparently wrapped up in a bedspread from the Nicholas house. April 19 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hitt near Castleton was broken into. Entry was gained by prying open a rear door. A large number of knives, guns and cameras were taken. The investigation with the aid of state investigators continues, according to Deputy Hawkins. —Rappahannock New* Photo /Sarah Latham AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE apple trees dressed in their spring gowns of pink and white spread over the hillsides in Rappahannock while a mountain ridge serves as a backdrop. Speech Therapist Is Language “Artist” Elizabeth Ragsdale, speech therapist for the Rappahannock school system, teaches the art of communication. “Speech and language aren’t the easiest things for a lot of youngsters to learn. It isn’t automatic...Children learn to talk by practicing and listening to others so you have to be a good model for them,” she said. For a variety of reasons, some children have problems with speech. Elizabeth’s job is to make her students aware of their errors and to help them correct their mistakes. "They have to learn so they can communicate with others and understand what people say to them,” she said. At the beginning of the current school year, Elizabeth set up individual screening programs for youngsters with suspected Store Robbed The lady customer in the store when the two Negro males entered was unidentified and police are seeking to find her, in the event she may be able to identify or give any information about the robbers. According to Reynolds, she was wearing a red coat and driving a dark green car. She had been to the store on previous occassions, but Reynolds did not know her name. Trooper Baines requests that this woman get in touch with him, Sheriff Buntin or Deputy Hawkins. The men apparently had their vehicle parked at the old Sperryville fire hall nearby and walked to it and fled. If anyone saw the vehicle parked at the old fire house about 9 p.m. Tuesday, please contact the police or sheriff. An armed robbery occurred Tuesday night at Mr. Jefferson’s Store in Sperryville and $250 in cash was taken. Two Negro males entered the store about 9 p.m. where the proprietor, Ronald Reynolds, was waiting on a customer. As she left, the two men, one armed with a sawed off shotgun and the other with a pistol, demanded the money from the cash register, according to Trooper R. A. Baines who responded in a matter of minutes after being dispatched. Reynolds put the cash in a paper bag and gave ft to them. They ordered him to lie on the floor and stay there for twenty minutes, then cut the phone line and fled on foot, apparently to a vehicle parked nearby, said Baines. speech problems. She tested articulation, hearing, vocabulary, grammar and number concepts and checked for any physical reasons which might cause speech impediments. After the testing, parents were called in for a meeting to discuss goals for their child and the methods and materials used in therapy. Parent involvement in a speech correction program is paramount, said Elizabeth. Rappahannock shares her services through the Piedmont Regional School and so she’s in the county for only two days per week. This limits the hours that she can spend with her students here and makes it imperative for parents to continue therapy work at home. Poppet Helpers Elizabeth holds individual and group sessions with three to five students in a makeshift classroom transformed out of the old clinic. Developmental learning materials are stacked neatly on shelves in a comer. She uses everything from pictures that illustrate language concepts to hand puppets to Language Master tape recording machines in her instructional program. The puppets are for her younger students. Kindergartners, in particular, appreciate a kiss from Hound Dog for “good talking” much more than praise from the teachers, she noted. Older students use the Language Master. With it, they can work on their own, —Rappahannock News Photo/Sarah Latham SPEECH THERAPIST ELIZABETH RAGSDALE works with a student at the local elementary school. taping their speech and then playing it back so they learn to recognize their mistakes. A good speech chart hangs in one corner. Elizabeth rewards performance and behavoir with stars that are tacked up on the chart behind the student’s name for all the class to see. Moat Will Continue Next Year About three-fourths of the Rappahannock students getting speech therapy will continue to need help next year, according to Elizabeth. “I started a new program and it took a while to get it off the ground. Next year, we should be ready to begin by October 1.” Elizabeth plans to retest all of her students by the end of the current year and then rewrite individual education plans for youngsters so parents can sign the required permission forms for next year before school is out. This, she hopes, will ensure an early start in 1978-79. While she feels that all of (Continued on Page 3) Rappahannock A Model For one of the smallest counties in Virginia, Rappahannock certainly seems to be getting its share of national press coverage. An article on the front page of Tuesday’s Washington Post cites a land ownership survey taken here as the model for the first nationwide survey of land ownership in the United States. The study of Rappahannock. begun four years ago by USDA senior economist Gene Wunderlich, found that 53 per cent of the county’s landowners lived elsewhere. It also found that only five per cent of the owners considered farming their primary occupation and that 41 per cent of the land was opened by people with »mh«i incomes of at least $50,000. The owners who reported incomes of $50,000 or more made up only nine per cent of the county’s population. By contrkfti, owners with income under $10,000 made up 31 per cent of the total population but owned only 13 per cent of the land. Wunderlich's computerized land information system uses a special code to identify each land parcel and links tax, transfer and land use records to provide data that can be used by tax billing, assessment and planning decisions. According to Wunderlich, the installation of compatible systems in all 3,000 of the nation's counties would provide computer linkages that could give continuous, up-to-date information on changes in land use through development, foreign investment or the impact of tax changes. The demand for a nationwide study similar to the survey taken in Rappahannock was spurred by worries over the potential impact of widespread foreign investments here, according to the Post article. The national study is designed to develop information on such things as the income, nationality, place of residence, age, race and sex of land owners and will provide a base line to measure future changes in land ownership and use. According to the Post article, Natural Resource economist Robert Otte believes the proposed survey will show “how much land is owned by very large owners—over one million acres—and how much is owned in tracts of less than one acre. We should be able to determine how much land is owned by individuals and how much by corporations.’’ Otte said. According to Wunderlich’s statements included in the Poet article, the survey will provide core data for testing hypotheses on whether age or income makes a difference in land conservation.

Dawson’s proposed 16 lot subdivision printed in the April 13 edition of the Rappahannock News erroniously stated that Dawson was seeking approval for his development from either the Zoning Administrator or from the Supervisors following rezoning. Doug Baumgardner, Dawson’s attorney, emphasized that his client had not applied for administrative approval of the development proposal. Baumgardner noted that the county’s subdivision ordinance only allows the Zoning Administrator to approve land divisions of five lots or less without the authorization from the Planning Commission. Dawson plans 16 lots on his tract. The question raised in Dawson’s application is whether a rezoning of the 480 acres is required before the land can be subdivided, according to Baumgardner. Baumgardner said the question on rezoning is based on inconsistencies in the county ordinances. Section 68-1 of the Rappahannock Subdivision Ordinance states that “no final plat of any subdivision containing more than five (5) lots shall be recorded unless or until it shall have been rezoned and approved by the governing body." But section 6-9 says “the final plat of a subdivision containing more than five (5) lots, anyone of which is less than twenty-five (25) acres, shall not be approved until the lot, parcel or tract of land to be subdivided is rezoned as R-l District or RS-1 District.” Section 6-1 of the Zoning Ordinance also states that “no subdivision containing more than five (5) lots, anyone of which contains less than twenty-five (25) acres, shall be approved by the governing body until the entire area of the proposed subdivision is rezoned to RS1.” All the lots in Dawson’s proposed Sommarbeth Estates Subdivision—on property currently zoned agricultural and conservation—are 25 acres or larger. The question raised by Dawson is whether subdivisions containing lots over 25 acres in size must be rezoned. Baumgardner maintained that the county must determine which takes precedence—the zoning ordinance which apparently omits 25-acre subdivisions from the rezoning requirement or section 6-8-1 of the subdivision ordinance which calls for rezoning of all subdivisions that have five or more lots. However, whether the land has to be rezoned or not. Dawson’s application will still come before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors, Baumgardner said. The 16-lot subdivision proposal cannot oe approved administratively. At last Wednesday’s Commission meeting, the Rappahannock Planners voted to hold*' a public hearing on rezoning Dawson's property on May 10 at 7:30 in the courthouse. Final PTA Meeting A special video-tape presentation will highlight the final meeting for this school year of the Rappahannock Elementary PTA on Tuesday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m. in the elementary auditorium. Margaret Ann Wayland and Bobbie Powers have filmed their reading lab and physical education programs on video-tape cassettes. Three TVs will be set up in the auditorium so that parents can see a demonstration of students at work with sophisticated reading lab equipment and at play in physical education class learning gross motor skills.

Last Minute Wood Dance As A Mirror Of Life By daphne McCullough Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Last-Minute Wood Company’s production of “Gathering Together” deserves a standing-roomonly audience for their presentation at the Rappahannock Elementary School on Saturday, April 29, at 8 p.m. The dance-theater group’s members are amateurs but their performance shines with professional polish. Director Sally Nash began work on the piece in October. “How many hours have we spent practicing? We haven’t done anything else since January,” she said at a recent rehearsal. Sally is the guiding force behind the 18 men, women and children who make up the dance group. She has been working with her dancers for four years after moving to the county from Washington, D.C. in 1974. Last Minute Wood, named in honor of the difficulties of rustling wood in a cold country winter, was organized two years ago and gave a premier Rappahannock performance of another original production last year. While Sally’s dancers are beginners, she’s the consummate professional. She started dancing when she was only four years old after her parents founded a private school in Washington, D.C., as an alternative to traditional public education. The school had only two teachers—one a painter and the other a dancer. “So we painted in the morning, danced in the afternoon” and stuck reading, writing and arithmetic in wherever the three R’s fit, she recalled. There was a heavy emphasis on the arts at the little private school and the curriculum revolved around the belief that everyone has a creative potential. "I just kept going after that and became really interested around eleven,” she continued. Sally attended traditional schools in modern dance but now feels they are more of a hindrance than a help. Traditional training "establishes movement habits that are an impediment to developing your own style,” she maintained, adding that she was just beginning to get at some of her own natural talents. In the classes that Sally offers here, she teaches strength, flexibility, balance and coordination and allows her students to develop their own “movement vocabulary." She aims her instruction at making dancers consciously aware of their own unconscious movements instead of at perfecting standard technical movements. Most of the dancers in the Last-Minute Wood Company have jobs as masons, carpenters and woodworkers or work at other professions where the body is used in day-to-day labor. Sally considers this physical conditioning an important resource in teaching beginners. The necessity for hard work that country living entails is also one of the major reasons why Sally chose to move to Rappahannock “I felt a life style where 1 used my body more would feed my dancing," she said. "Gathering Together," the piece that will be performed at the elementary school on April 29, began with improvisations last October. “I started with a feeling I had about this community...There’s a great sense of togetherness and merging but often at the expense of individuality,” Sally remarked. This loss of individuality, she feels, arises out of fear of being alone. To fend off loneliness, people form communities—sometimes with just one other person and sometimes with several. The repressive agreements that are often required to make these communities functional are the “villains” in the LastMinute Wood production. “People need to get off by themselves and find their own unique qualities—who they are that is only them—before it’s possible to get together with others,” Sally maintained. She added that any successful community, whether composed of two or two hundred individuals, requires a constant commitment to communication. The theme that Sally and her dancers have built ‘‘Gathering Together” around is that people need to see how they fit in with others to make a whole rather than having a preconceived idea of what that whole should be and then trying to mold themselves to fit. Last fall, when work on the production began, the lancers started with improvisations. acting out their Feelings about their lives, :heir hopes and fears, their work and each other. Sally ;hen took the characters and gestures that emerged and From this material, molded ‘Gathering Together.” It is not a self-indulgent work with a lot of people on personal ego trips flitting about a stage, doing “their own thing.” Instead, “Gathering Together” is a tight, cohesive production that has been highly rehearsed and choreographed down to the nth degree. At a recent Saturday afternoon practice session, Sally worked with Nan Smith and Sherry Woodard for over two hours, refining and rehearsing their parts. Nan and Sherry are typical of the performers in Last-Minute Wood. Both have full-time jobs that are physically demanding. Sherry refinishes furniture and grows plants for her shop. Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques, in Sperryville. Nan also refinishes furniture and recanes chairs for Country Cupboards in Washington. Sally had musical accompaniment on tape for the beginning of the number. After the tape ran out, the two women danced in silence as their director looked on. The togetherness and joint effort that has gone into the dance group’s production was obvious at the rehearsal. Sally Nash is the choreographer, the “boss” of the Last-Minute Wood Company, but she’s also a coworker on equal footing with the members of the troupe and learns from her dancers at the same time that she’s teaching. At several points in the rehearsal, Sally interrupted to offer Nan and Sherry suggestions but immediately followed up on her advice by asking “Is that hard to do? Let me try it." Sometimes Sally’s suggestions were incorporated into the dance piece, sometimes not. And occasionally, Sherry and Nan offered ideas for improvement that were used. Besides instruction, Sail) gave constant encouragement and support.

Sally said she relocated in Rappahannock and began teaching and working here partially because she wanted to dance with people who were her friends. At this, she appears to have been totally successful. The camraderie and esprit de corps among members of Last-Minute Wood would be envied by any professional dance group. But besides the friendship between them, Sally’s dancers have developed considerable expertise. “This production meets my highest professional standards,” she remarked. “I’m astounded at the good job and progress we’ve made,” she said, attributing the success to her students’ awareness of their bodies gained through jobs that require physical labor and conditioning. She’s quick to acknowledge the contributions made to “Gathering Together”—contributions not only from the troupe of dancers but from others in the county. Sally noted that the production is enhanced by an original score composed by Michael Krueger. He will accompany the dancers on an amplified autoharp at the presentation in the elementary school. Sally also credited the in valuable help she’d received from William Carrigan who donated the use of the old Washington school for rehearsals. “I don’t know how we could have done it without him,” she said. After the premier performance of ‘‘Gathering Together” in Rappahannock, Sally will take Last-Minute Wood on tour into Washington, D.C., and to other rural communities. “I feel really good about sharing in an artistic creation that reflects our lives,” she concluded. “We can reach a lot of people when we have these ingredients.” (The Tuesday, April 25 edition of the Washington Post carried a review of Gathering Together following a performance of the piece at the Dance Exchange Sunday night. Jean Nordhaus described Sally Nash as “one of our most original locally based choreographers.” Noting the unique soft and natural look of Nash’s stage, Nordhaus said the director of the Last-Minute Wood Company was "splendid at evoking the romance of simple cotton dresses and homely, well-worn objects.” ‘‘The most successful movement episodes,” the reviewer continued, “were equally romantic in feeling: a lovely rocking chair duet for two women, and a fantasy for a man and a woman in the guise of a horse.” Nordhaus concluded that Nash is “one of the more individual spirits in our midst.”) Fire—Rescue Notes Members of the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad who recently attended a CPR course conducted by the American Red Cross at the Amissville fire house were Cecil Baldwin, Julian Brown, Walter R. Lillard, Mary Marocchi and Donald Gore. On Sunday, April 23, the Sperryville Rescue Squad made three runs. This unit was called to The Shade on Rt. 621, but their services were not used. Afterwards, they carried Ted Arlo of New York from the Exxon station in Sperryville to Page Memorial Hospital. Earl Wayland was taken from his home in Sperryville to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. On April 10, the Washington Rescue Squad transported Vernon Leake from Skyway Motel in Sperryville to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. On April 17, this unit carried Ed Freeman of Washington from the Rappahannock Clinic to Dr. Manwaring’s office in Warrenton for treatment. On the same day, this squad took Gilbert Cameron from his home in Washington to Warren Memorial Hosoital. The Washington Rescue Squad carried Granville Hudson of Flint Hill from the Rappahannock Clinic in Washington to Warren Memorial Hospital on April 24. On Tuesday, April 18, the Washington, Flint Hill and Castleton Fire Depts. fought a forest fire in Horseshoe Hollow between Washington and Flint Hill.

Speech Therapist continued from Page 1) ^ her charges have shown improvement, Elizabeth acknowledged that some speech errors take longer than others to correct. One year of therapy ought to be enough for children with a mild “th” problem where they say “thun” instead of sun,” she said. However, progress is “so dependent on the child’s attitude,” she added, as well as on the severity of the speech problem. Elizabeth reported that she tests for the ability to pronounce 73 different sounds before developing an educational program for a student. If the child makes between 15 and 20 errors plus a low score on language skills, then she knows that correction will take longer than a year. If the child is also hearing impaired, he will always need extra help to keep up, she added. Full-Time Therapist Elizabeth stressed the county’s need for a full-time speech therapist. Her two days in Rappahannock give her only a half hour twice a week to spend with each pupil. “This means they must have outside help. They must have their parents involved. I wish I had more time here,” she remarked. A full-time speech therapist would also have the opportunity to work with preschoolers, noted Elizabeth. "By age five, a child ought to have the majority of his language. They go through a constant learning process from one to five and after that, refine what they’ve learned. We need to start (speech therapy) with two, three and four year olds. That’s the cream of the crop in learning...Children are usually pretty receptive then. They haven’t set their speech patterns so firmly.” One of the points Elizabeth has to look out for is the difference between dialect and speech problem. Around Rappahannock County, she said, many children — and their parents—omit the final consonant from a word, particularly a final D, T or G. She must determine if the child can pronounce the final sound. “Can they do it if they’re stimulated? If they can, then it’s not a speech problem,” she explained. The speech therapist had some advice for parents of pre-schoolers who worry about their child’s stuttering. Three and four year olds go through a period of “normal disfluent speech” when stuttering is not unusual. Ignore stuttering at this stage, Elizabeth recommended. “Don’t become —Rappahannock Non Photo/Daphne McCullough SNOOPY SITS ON THE CLASSROOM DOOR, a reminder to youngsters in speech therapy of the importance of communication. ‘TteaJ Estate ay. REALTOR MEDICAL IMPROVEMENT DEDUCTIBLE Home improvements are generally not tax deductible, but they can be - if they're a medical necessity. For example, a swimming pool to provide treatment for a polio victim; a chairseat elevator for a heart patient; central air conditioning for a child afflicted with cystic fibrosis. How much of the expense is deductible? The amount over which it increases the property value. For example, if an elevator costs $5,000, and the property value is increased by $1,000, the $4,000 excess is deductible. If there’s no increase in property value, it’s all deductible. But you’ll need two documents to support this claim. A letter from a doctor stating that it is a medical necessity and a written opinion from a competent real estate appraiser stating the amount (if any) the improvement adds to the value of your property.

Positive reinforcement is the key to helping a child with any speech problem, she added. Elizabeth also emphasized that a speech difficulty is not necessarily an indication of a learning disability or other handicap. “What parents have to realize is that just because a child has a speech problem doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with the child. It doesn’t mean his intelligence is lower.” “Parents shouldn’t worry that their child may be embarrassed about getting speech therapy,” she continued. Most children appreciate the extra attention and don’t feel singled out by attending a special class. “Parents should come in and visit to see how happy the kids are,” Elizabeth concluded. Sun Day Planned May 3 is Sun Day— A day to celebrate the sun. The start of a drive to lead the United States into the solar era. The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection supports Sun Day. A coalition of private and public individuals and groups has organized Sun Day. The purpose of Sun Day is to direct the attention of all of us to the need for developing rapidly the potentials of solar energy for use as our fossil fuels are depleted. Everyone is aware that the costs of energy from coal, oil, and gas have risen. These costs are expected to continue to rise as the world’s supply of fossil fuels dwindles. What are the alternatives? A few years ago scientists dreamed of limitless energy from “burning the rocks” in uranium and thorium powered plants and from “burning the seas” in thermonuclear plants. Now the promise of nuclear power using uranium appears uncertain, because of operating and economic problems, because no safe means of storing the lethal radioactive fission products for centuries seems likely, and because of the probability that plutonium from the plants will be diverted to use by terrorists. Many uses of solar energy are not new. Many ancient and modern houses have been oriented to admit the sun’s heat when it was desired and to exclude its heat otherwise. Wood, from trees which used the sun's energy for their growth, was burned for heat and power. Recent developments of solar energy have been meager. Lack of public interest has been based on the false assumption of plentiful energy from fossil and nuclear fuels. The organizational offices of Sun Day are at 1028 Connecticut Avenue, N.

Warts Baffle Doctors A wart is a virus infection of the outer layer of skin, according to the American Medical Association. Ordinary warts aren’t harmful. Often they will eventually go away, even without treatment. They will not become cancerous. Children get warts more often than adults. Some persons seem to be immune and never get them. Warts are contagious and can be transmitted from one person to another. Scratching warts can cause them to spread. Unless the wart is so located that it is constantly irritated, such as in the beard or scalp, or is unsightly, it often is just as well to let it alone. If your wart bothers you, for either physical or cosmetic reasons, ask your doctor to remove it. Warts can occur on any part of the skin, but most often appear on the hands and fingers and on the soles of the feet. Plantar warts, those on the soles, cause the most trouble, the American Medical Association points out. Plantar warts can be pinhead size, or an inch or two in diameter. If they occur on the pressure points of the foot, they can be exceedingly painful. They push inward with each step. Plantar warts usually are so uncomfortable, sometimes disabling, that treatment is required. Plantar warts can be very stubborn, and yourdoctor may need to try several different treatments. Common treatments are electrosurgery, which destroys the wart with an electric current, and freezing with dry ice or liquid nitrogen. Another common treatment is to burn out the wart with an acid. Sometimes radiotherapy is used. Sometimes it is necessary to try a combination of several treatments. About half of all warts disappear spontaneously. We don’t know why, but through the years many physicians have reported successes with some form of suggestion therapy.

Inc THURSDAY, APRIL 27,1978 Good Example It’s time for the adults in Rappahannock County to learn a lesson from the kids. Community minded Boy Scouts from Amissville and Flint Hill, Girl Scouts in Pat Helmer's Cadette troop and a group of youngsters from Chester Gap have been busy during the last few weeks picking up litter and trash along roadsides and at the Recreation Center outside Washington. It’s enough to make the county’s older citizens hang their heads in shame. For months and months, the Supervisors have stormed and raged about the mess at the county’s dumpster sites. At every Board meeting, after the accounts are read, the trash problem comes up again. Hundreds of dollars out of the general fund are required to pay the bill for yards of garbage picked up off the ground at the dumpsters. Trash containers sit empty and still, refuse is tossed outside rather than inside the bins. Adults are responsible for the appalling conditions at the trash collection points. The same adults that are supposed to serve as examples for young people. Thank goodness kids from Flint Hill, Amissville and Chester Gap have found their role models somewhere else. These youngsters deserve recognition for the work they’ve done to keep Rappahannock beautiful. Unfortunately, it’s been a “do as we say, not as we do” operation as far as the adults are concerned. Letters To The Editor Proud Of Concern To the editor: At the April 5 meeting of the Board of supervisors, Mr. Davis referred to newcomers as wanting "to live under a Socialist government.” This remark as well as his attitude toward newcomers has prompted us to write. As residents of Rappahannock County for approximately one month, we moved to this wonderful little town from the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia, which soon, if not already, will be a suburb of Washington, D. C. this is precisely why we moved to Washington—to escape three shopping centers, two Pizza Huts, two Hardees, two McDonalds, two Kentucky Fried Chickens, two Big Boys, and other assorted fast food houses, not to mention the countless subdivisions as well as the general irritations of city life. Washington residents should be proud of the concern for the appearance and welfare of the community not found in most areas, especially in larger cities. If Mr. Davis feels this concern is socialist, then he is sadly mistaken. True, the property is his; however, under our government he may do with it as he pleases, but only within the limits of the law. Washington is a small town with an !m-* pressive historical tradition and being such, every person has a responsibility to see that his community is governed well—this includes zoning, The Board of Supervisors is elected by us, and we in turn have the right of free speech to express whatever opinions and feelings we desire to the Board. So does Mr Davis, but the majority rules, and should the majority vote the zoning to remain unchanged, so it must be. We newcomers do not want to live in England or Russia. We want to live here, now, as it is and not as it might be if the zoning is approved. We are not acquainted with Mr. or Mrs. Davis and. therefore, are not aware of their possible, if favorable, plans for their property. We also would like to commend the Rappahannock News for the excellent and fair reporting of this zoning debate as well as the other fine articles featured in this paper ROGER AND SARAH ROACH Washington, Va. IEditor's note: Letters to the editor from Mrs. Robert Moffett and Edward Eastham printed in last week's Rappahannock News are being rerun this week. Parts of the two letters were accidently interchanged when originally printed. The News apologizes for the error.) Total Disbelief To the editor: Tuesday, April 4, 1978, I attended a Rappahannock County School Board Meeting and listened in total disbelief to comments made by the Board about their own teaching staffs at Rappahannock County Schools. Teachers, attending the meeting to voice their disappointment in the proposed budget for 1978-89, unexpectedly found themselves to be the targets of unjust criticism. "The teachers have no dedication nor love for the children,” was one barb which pricked the sides of Rappahannock County teachers. This comment, according to a member of the Board, stemmed from the fact that the “children” had not been mentioned once by the protesting teachers throughout the entire budget hearing. Since when, I might ask, have the children been involved in the negotiations of teachers’ contracts? Rappahannock County High School students who attended the meeting, however, were quick to speak in defense of the teachers’ dedication and devotion, citing numerous examples of the long and uncompensated hours many donate in support of those extra curricular activities vital to all schools and their students. 1 he Kappahannock County School Board wants to provide quality education for its students; to do so, it must employ quality educators. The County is most fortunate to have these outstanding teachers, yet the School Board adamantly refuses to compensate them for their services. Teachers are constantly expected to unselfishly give of their free time in the name of education. But, when the teachers request a cost of living increases to meet the demands of today’s economy, they a. _> criticized and ridiculed. “Lack of disciplinary problems should compensate for low salaries,’’ said one gentleman attending the meeting. Much to my dismay, however, a lack of disciplinary problems does not pay the grocery bills, mortgages, car payments, doctor bills, and the like. Because of its stand, the Rappahannock County School Board is forcing its teachers to seek employment elsewhere. This is of little consequence to the Board, since, as they pointed out, the supply of teachers is much greater than the demand. It’s ironic that the School Board members can be so blind to the fact that the children, who supposedly are their primary concern, will suffer the greatest from the loss of these excellent educators. In light of the many recent letters received by the Rappahannock News, all in opposition to the Boards’ comments and actions, perhaps it is time for the people of this fine county to demand that their interests be represented by the Board and not just the personal interest of the Board members themselves or those of a small privileged group. MRS. ROBERT F. MOFFETT, JR. Great Souls Endure Te the editor: “Great souls endure in silence” (Last words on the editorial page of the Rappahannock News, April 13th, In my recent appearance before the School Board, 1 tried to make these major points: Let us stop the bickering over the education of the children in this County; let us base all decisions regarding education on what is needed and is best for the children, and; let us get the facts on the record regarding disputed issues for all to consider. Therefore, 1 do not wish to engage in controversy with anyone on these matters — least of all in a newspaper. But there is an exception: When anyone takes it upon himself or herself to climb aboard me personally in a newspaper, without the courtesy or the courage to tell me to my face what they have on their minds, without signing their name, and worse, to put down in public print malicious misinformation about me — then they cannot expect timidity from Bob Eastham in return. I he letter from A Concerned Parent” published by you April 13th does not make for “great souls.” Shakespeare’s admonition applies here: “He who taketh my purse taketh trash...But he who taketh my good name taketh that which enricheth him not but leaveth me poor indeed.” First, I do not have any “holdings” in beautiful Rappahannock bought with the "cold, hard cash” I am said to have earned in the "beautiful” Virgin Isla..Ja I do not own one square inch of Rappahannock County. Not one square inch. Nor did I return to Rappahannock County to purchase one square inch because it is a “low tax area.” In fact, 1 never had any idea as to what the land taxes here were until the other day when I asked the Commissioner of Revenue in order to get my own facts straight in connection with the education controversy. I returned because “this is my own, my native land” and because there is no land more beautiful nor any people more charming than here. Nor do I own “two cars, two televisions, golf clubs or a tennis outfit” (1 haven’t seen IT’S APPLE BLOSSOM TIME _R*pp**,*"nock N'w"Pho,o/s*r,h u,h,m Our Rappahannock Heritage either of the latter two items in this County since I returned six months ago!) In this County I own exactly one Ford automobile (sans CB radio set). That’s all. Moreover, I’ll trade my personal income right now for that of any teacher on the County payroll. Does that take care of that, "CP”? 1 think "CP” owes me a personal apology, delivered exactly as the affront was delivered, i.e., in the Rappahannock News. Also, I ask “CP” to address these points, along with the expected apology: (1) Do ‘‘let's consider Rappahannock’s ability to pay.” Let’s have “CP’s” analysis of that ability to pay. Upon what factual data would “CP” base that ability to pay? But spare us, for God’s sake, any more nonsense about golf clubs, tennis rackets, and CB radios. (2) Let “CP” tell us exactly how the School Board and school administrators have broken their word. (3) Let “CP” tell us exactly how many of the County's 55 teachers are “rejects” (and privately give their names to the School Board). (4) Does ‘!CP”, or anyone, believe that the cited 47 per cent turn-over in personnel is due entirely to dissatisfaction over pay? Are we to believe that teachers are shocked, surprised, and frustrated after they are on the job to learn what their salaries are? (5) Does "CP” agree with the socialist philosophy:” from each according to his ability: to his ability; to each according to his needs”? Or just with the latter half of it? I.e., does "CP” agree with the merit system for salary adjustments which I have recommended? (6) “CP” says the letter must be anonymous because “I am sure it would cause repercussions for my children.” To suggest that any teacher, administrator, or School Board member in Rappahannock County would take out on innocent children their resentment against “CP” for expressing opinions publicly is an enormity. This, indeed, is a sorry tale. This terrible accusation in print deserves either another apology in print or a factual report to the proper authorities as to who has done or is doing such a thing. But let’s not play Joe McCarthy in Rappahannock County. And let’s not use innocent children as pawns in wage controversies as has already been done in certain unbeautiful places elsewhere. Let's not assume that the residents of Rappahannock County are stupid mountaineers who are incapable of seeing through such ploys. And let’s stop fomenting anger against teachers in this County with published diatribes and "resolutions of no confidence” in the School Board. Teachers should have confidence or no confidence in their supervisors. If teachers are going to ignore organizational channels completely, who not go all the way and send a resolution of no confidence to Jimmy Carter? (I might even sign that one myself!) In closing, let me say that I agree on two points (points I tried to make in my statement to the School Board). (a) The teachers should be checked at their work. graded, and counselled after classroom visits. But let us be clear about this. It is not the job of the School Board to do this. It is the job of the superintendent and his assistants. And they, in turn, keep the School Board informed since the board supervises them. (b) With the handful ot teachers employed in this County and with only a part of that number being hired new each year, the School Board should assist the Superintendent in the hiringprocess. That’s the time<to get the best and to rejecf those likely to follow each other through the same class until one child has had five different teachers in less than one school year, three of whom were so ineffective that they couldn’t even control the class (according to "CP"). I trust that “CP’s” next letter will be signed with a real name or, in lieu of that, signed “A Responsible Parent.” ROBERT WOODFORD EASTHAM Castleton May Calendar Tuesday, May 2—Rap* pahannock Elementary School PTA, 7:30 p.m., elementary auditorium.

Drought Losses Computed Last summer s drought in Virginia cost farmers an estimated S353 million as a result of production value losses and increased costs, according to Commissioner Carbaugh of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce. The more than third of billion dollar figure results from the addition of loss in crop production, loss in production value as a result of forced sales of cattle and calves, the cost of refurbishing damaged pastureland and the net increase in Virginia farm debt as a direct result of the drought. The Commissioner pointed out that Virginia farmers suffered crop production value losses in the neighborhood of $110 million as a direct result of the 1977 drought. These losses were primarily attributable to decreases in crop and hay yields. This estimate is somewhat understated since increased input purchases that were attributable to the drought, were made in certain agricultural commodity sectors. This wg.s especially true for dairy and cattle enterprises where roughage feeding increased or began at an earlier date than normal because of the severely dry condition of grasslands. Those having to purchase roughage supplies at higher levels than normal were also faced with higher prices for hays and silage. The production value loss as a result of forced sales of livestock in Virginia as a direct result of the 1977 drought was estimated by measuring the change in the livestock industry’s total net revenues from July 1977 to January 1978. Much of the change in cattle inventories can be attributed to dry conditions of pastureland. This loss was tagged at $33 million. According to the Agriculture Department, the total cost of refurbishing damaged pastureland in Virginia was estimated at $63 million. Virginia’s farm debt increased approximately $147 million as result of the 1977 drought. Monies to meet this increased debt were supplied by the Farmers Home Administration, the Agricultural Stabilizatidn and Conservation Service, the Small Business Administration and commercial lending institutes. Federal land banks and production credit associations experienced payoffs that were attributable to low interest loans made available to farmers in drought affected areas. These payoffs amounted to about $14 million as of March 1978. Farm supply firms also had higher than usual accounts receivable at harvest time and indications are that a number of such businesses continue to experience higher levels of unpaid bills. In overview, moderate declines were experienced in production values at the farm level in 1977 as a result of the drought, as well as increases in input costs. Thus, the impact of the drought to Virginia’s farmers was such that it contributed to overall declines in their net cash receipts—the lowest in ten years. m _ . —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne McCullough KIDS FROM MASSIE S CORNER”, os the 4-H’ers in Mr*.

If you’re buying yard goods for draperies or slip covers, look for the label that says “preshrunk” and then look further. If residual shrinkage is stated as 2 percent or less, that’s fine! If more than 2 percent, the fabric may be altered by washing or ironing. So be careful! Preshrunk finishes enhance textile fibers by making them stronger and the process has no effect on color or texture. It’s an added plus when planning fabric decor in your home.

By NANCY SECRIST Exteaiion Agent Get Your Family Together at mealtime. Families need to be together to form close, strong bonds that make the family the source of strength and security. It may take some sacrifices to make the family mealtime a "lookforward-to-habit” but it can be done. It is easiest if it is at a regular time each day and that it be made important that every member be present. Outside activities should not interfere with mealtimes. Adults and children should be expected to say, “I won’t be able to go until after dinner” except for very special circumstances. Make mealtime something everyone enjoys. Declare time-out on criticism, arguing and rehashing misbehavior. Children learn basic behavior traits such as politeness at home. They do not magically acquire these traits when they go into the outside world. Families should not have to tolerate interrupters, grabbers, sloppy eaters and thoughtless persons at mealtime. Several “tree lovers” asked for my recipe for the tree cookies they tasted when picking up their trees on Arbor Day. Remember this tip: Do not chill the dough and you should have perfect Sprltz Cooldes. 2'/« cups flour Vi cup sugar ‘/a tsp. salt V* tsp. baking powder 1 cup butter or margarine 1 egg Vi tsp. almond extract Sift flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together in bowl. With pastry blender or 2 knives cut the shortening into the dry ingredients until the mixture is full of very fine lumps. Measure the egg in a measuring cup. If it does not measure Vi cup, add water to the Vi cup line. Add egg and almond extract and beat mixture very well. Fill cookie press. Form cookies on ungreased cookie sheets.

SSS Jr Fo,,er' ;rod TyW' T“™- »-n- aZZtZZSSttZi to celebrate Fifties Day^ ^ money ast wee^ as Rappahannock High School took a trip down memory lane Track Teams Attend Invitational Relays The annual Stonewall Jackson Relays Invitational was held on Saturday, April 22, and the Rappahannock Panthers came back with exciting personal achievements. Girls’ and boys’ varsity teams competed and each came away with assorted medals, ribbons and golden spikes. The prime focus of the Invitational is on relay competition and a trophy is awarded to each school that wins a relay. For this reason, individual team scores are not kept and all of the events of a regular track meet are not held. Events other than relays are held for the benefit of those athletes interested solely in improving performances, and results do not serve to better school standings in the district. The crowd was large, the meet was well-organized, the weather was beautiful, though windy, and the competition was stiff as the Golden Panthers worked hard to produce results in the girls' mile relay and 880 medley relay events in which they took close seconds. Laura Tupper, Natalie Swindler, Rhonda Brown and Eleanor Phillips ran the 440 yd. relay in 56.2 seconds, winning the heat, coming very close to the school record of 55.3, and placing fifth overall. The 880 medley relay team of Ronda Wiley, Wendy Jenkins, Lynnell and Jamelle Prudhum set a new school record with 1:57.1 and placed second under Central (time 1:56). Curtis Nichols led the boys’ mile relay team of Chris Foster, Greg Turner, Carl Jordan to a season record of 3:55.

Rock Gathering Cadette Girl Scout Troop No. 502 of Rappahannock participated in a service project Saturday for the recreation center at Washington. With the help of W. H. Lyne and his truck, the girls dug and picked up rocks from the rec center grounds. Rocks had damaged Mr. Lyne’s mower last year costing $286 in repair for it. Even though another group had removed some of the rocks, the girls gathered a half a truck load. When the work was finished, a picnic lunch was followed by a game of softball. Hostess For Bridge Mrs. J. S. Browning entertained with a bridge party at her home in Flint Hill Monday evening. Among the prize winners were Mrs. Frank Spalding, Mrs. Harold Scoggin, Mrs. Emorv Russell and Mrs. Thomas Eastham. Others who played were Mrs. Mary Gardiner Edmonds, Mrs. Eva Smith, Mrs. W. A. Moore, Mrs. L B. Burfbrd, Mrs. Thomas Massie, Mrs. James F. Massie, Mrs. Richard Latham and Mrs. H. M Keyser. Buy your PREMIUM VIRGINIA WINES at winery store.

Box 347, Middleburg, Virginia 22117 Busy Week For RCHS Panthers By LIZ FREEMAN The Vanity Panthers baseball team travelled to Madison County on Thursday, April 20, where they dropped a close game to the home team, 5 to 4. The Panthers rallied in the sixth when Brooke Miller took first through an error by Madison baseman Davis, and then stole second, beginning the Rappahannock scoring drive. Nils Aylor followed with a hit to Madisbn shortstop Salmon, who erred, putting Aylor on first. Rick Johnson singled and Miller came in on Johnson’s right fielder. Gary Settle sacrificed and through an error by Madison first baseman Harris, took first as Aylor came home. Roger Jenkins fanned a single advancing Settle and allowing Johnson to score. Then Weasel Carter singled, advancing pinch runner James Hackley (for pitcher Jenkins) to second. Madison Pitcher Cave effectively stomped further Panther scoring attempts when he struck out Lairry Settle and Jeff Jenkins. Catcher Stanley threw the ball to third baseman Jenkins of Madison to get Hackley out as he attempted to steal third, ending the inning and the scoring drive. The Varsity Panthers baseball team soundly defeated the Page Panthers at home on Friday, April 21, with an 11-4 score. Panther pitcher Gary Leake allowed only four hits through the seven innings he pitched. Leading scorers for the Panthers drive were Eddie Carroll and Nils Aylor with two runs batter in each and Brooks Miller with three RBI’s. Donnie Compton and Chip Frye also contributed with a run batted in each. The Junior Varsity baseball team visited Luray on Saturday, April 22, and improved noticeably during the game, only to fall short 5 to 3. Pitcher Gary Jenkins was charged with the loss, even though he threw a one hitter. Luray was able to score mainly through walks and errors. The J.V. team scoring was sparked in the first when Doug Nichols walked and then Steve Norman was hit by the pitcher and took a base as Nichols walked to second. Billy Anderson singled and Nichols and Norman sped home, giving Anderson two runs batter in. The final Panther run was scored in the sixth when Steve Mucciaroni took a base on balls and second through an error on Luray second baseman Tedder’s part. Steve Norman followed with a double from two errors, batting Mucciaroni in. Coach Jim Logan commented that the team showed much improvement, with eighth graders Lee Anderson, Richie Burke and Mark Hudson starting and contributing much to the team effort.
