It has a statue of a girl running on it and it says “SKYLINE DISTRICT CHAMPIONS 1978”. The Rappahannock Varsity girls’ track team brought good news back with them from JMU. James Madison University hosted the annual meet on Satnrday, May 6. AH school! of the district were in attendance with athletes in peak form to face some of the toughest competition so far this year. Results had to be good with the promise of participating in the future regional and state meets. Of the nine other schools there, Stonewall, Central and Luray were the ones Rappahannock had to keep both eyes on. Stonewall and Central are teams that keep coming back at you, and Luray individuals Hazel Rudacille and Allison Stone, along with others, always place in Rapp’s key events. All of the girls’ teams did well. Behind the Rappahannock Panthers’ 73 and one third points were Stonewall Jackson with 66 and one third, Luray with 54'/i, Montevideo with 54‘/i, Central with 50, William Monroe with 44, Elkton 34, Strasburg 23, Madison 22 and Page with 12. All of the factors that must come into play for the team to be a success were there. These factors were the talent; the ability to put in your best effort, the coaching of Miss Spieker and Miss Powers, the infallibility of team spirit on the part of members, managers and coaches as well as devoted fans. Small injuries such as shin splints, sore ankles and muscles are constantly adding to the fatigued athlete’s mentality. The Lady Panthers didn't let that get the best of them. In the discus, Jeanette Beebe was third to Montevideo’s Penny Cupp and Central’s Candy Green. Jeanette has been a consistant thrower this year, averaging 90-95 feet. Her chances to place in the regional and proceed to the state meet look good. Eleanor Phillips has improved her performances in the shot these last few Concert On Friday The Rappahannock Chorus will present its annual spring concert on Saturday, May 13, at 8 p.m. in the old school house in Washington. Selections will consist of early 17th century music, music by J. S. Bach, songs from “The Sacred Harp,” gospels, early English ballads and interesting 20th century novelties. Mrs. Gloria Harris will direct the group and Mrs. t Beverly Clark will provide piano accompaniment. Special guest Michael Kruger will perform music by Mozart and Gliere for clarinet. Kruger’s “Duet Etude” for clarinet and viola will be performed by himself and Carla Eugster. Tickets are available from all chorus members and are $2 for adults. Children under 12 will be admitted free. meets and if this trend continues, she could carry her second place win at the district meet on through the regional to the state. Two young ladies from Rappahannock placed in the high jump — Johanna Day took 4th and Jamelle Prudhum was 6th. Johanna cleared 4’10”, but was called away to -the hurdle trials. After qualifying for the finals in the hurdles she returned to the high jump, but was unable to clear 4’ir*. Jamelle was concentrating her main effort into her running events, so her high jumping lacked her usual success in clearing 4’8”. Both girls will compete in the regionals in this event, however. Jamelle was entered in the long jump in an effort to gain team points. She jumped in the three trials and was placed third with a leap of 15' 5%” heading into the finals of this event. She was advised to forego her final jumps and still managed to hold her third place standing at the conclusion of the high jump. Hurdle trials placed two Rappahannock girls in the Finals with their third hurdler, Natalie Swindler, being edged out. Lynnell Prudhum placed third in the finals, running an 11.8 sec., with Johanna Day given 7th place. Lynnell will travel to the regionals and with a good showing there, will go on to state competition, where she placed 6th in this event last year. Jamelle Prudhum set a new school record of 26.0 seconds in the 220 yd. dash and should easily win the regional. Lynnell Prudhum also placed well in the 220, running 6th in 28.0 sec., and will attempt to improve her (Continued on Page 3) BZA Hires Attorney For Second Case Attorney Robert Fitzgerald will represent the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals in another case before the court beside the three-way wrangle between the BZA, the Board of Supervisors and the Rappahannock Ski Corporation. Fitzgerald was introduced into the combined StuckeyDeMent case as attorney for the BZA on Monday and allowed two weeks by Circuit Court Judge Raynor V. Snead in which to File pleadings and memorandum. The Stuckey-DeMent case involves revocation by the BZA of P. E. Steve DcMent’s special use permit allowing him to expand his antique business. The BZA revoked the permit after DeMent allegedly failed to comply with its conditions. If the court upholds the revocation, DeMent could be ordered to , remove his new antique warehouse addition. Previously, Judge Snead had allowed the Board of Supervisors, represented by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis, to intervene in the DeMent case between DeMent-Stuckey and the BZA. On Monday, Snead continued the pre-trial conference date to July 10 at 9 a.m. •5P w OPENING THE GATES to the Rappahannock race course at Thornton Hill Farm where the point-to-point races will be held Saturday, May^20 are Witold Kuncewicz, race chairman, James W. Fletcher, Jr. hunt official and owner of Thornton Hill, and Mary Frances Fannon, race secretary. The races, delayed because of the weather earlier, are drawing good entries and the exciting hound race will climax the day’s activities. No Vote On Hunter Control Laws Supporters Stayed Home By daphne McCullough^ Rappahannock News Staff Writer Only four supporters of proposed “hunter control” ordinances attended Thursday’s public hearing before the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, but opponents turned out in force. About 25 members of Flint Hill hunting and fishing clubs lined the benches on one side of the courtroom. One after the other, they maintained that ordinances banntfigv loaded rifles and shotgtms from vehicles and publicV^taajls were unnecessaryinconveniences and an infringement on their rights as sportsmen. They insisted that adoption of the two ordinances by the Supervisors would do nothing to help Game Warden Jim Bankston combat the problem of “slob hunters” in Rappahannock. After more than an hour of testimony, the Board appeared split with two Supervisors for adoption and two against. On Chairman E. P. Luke’s suggestion, action was postponed until the June 1 Board meeting. At the outset of the public hearing, Luke announced that the Supervisors would consider the ordinances separately. He first read the proposal that would make it illegal to carry or possess a loaded firearm on any part of a public highway in the county unless the individual has authority to hunt on private property on both sides of the road. Fine for violation would be limited to $100 maximum. “It’s in the best interest of the county not to pass this ordinance, stated Charles Foster. He maintained that passage would not control people driving up and down county roads, hunting from automobiles. “We need Mr. Bankston’s cooperation and he needs ours,” Foster continued. If the proposed ordinances are passed on Bankston’s "say so,” Foster warned the Supervisors that “the good hunters will feel like he’s taking away their rights and privileges” and will then stop reporting violations of hunting laws. “Ninety-five per cent of Rappahannock’s hunters are good hunters,” Foster claimed. He questioned the fairness of passing an ordinance to control illegal hunting when most violations are committed by people from outside the county. “Why throw away the barrel of apples because you’ve got one bad one?” he asked. Discrimination Against Rifles “It’s all right to carry a loaded pistol to shoot somebody,” noted Nelson Atkins, “but it’s not all right to carry a loaded shotgun or rifle to shoot a deer. That’s discriminating against shotguns and rifles,” he charged. Elwood Welch accused the Game Warden of wanting to “intimidate” hunters. “If the ordinance making it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle is passed, then the game warden will be able to stop cars and check guns,” he (Continued on Page 4) Police Have Robbery Lead Through combined efforts and investigation by the Sheriff’s departments in Rappahannock, Madison and Orange counties and the Virginia Department of State Police, warrants are on file for two suspects alledged to be involved in the armed robbery of Mr. Jefferson’s Store in Sperryville, according to Sheriff W. A. Buntin of Rappahannock. The suspects are still at large and the names will not be released until they are apprehended, said Buntin. The store’s proprietor, Ronald Reynolds was robbed at gunpoint on Tuesday night, April 24 in his store. He gave the robbers, 2 negro males, $250 in a brown paper bag and was then forced to lie on the floor while the pair cut the phone wires and fled on foot. Police investigators believe the two suspects in the Sperryville robbery are the same two men who held up stores in the communities of True Blue and Mitchels on a robbery spree two weeks ago that resulted in two deaths. Supervisors Deny Re zoning In a majority vote at Thursday’s Board meeting, the Rappahannock Supervisors denied Dorothy Davis’s request for commercial rezoning on three acres outside the town of Washington. Before discussion by the Supervisors, Chairman E. P. Luke read a letter from Highway Department Resident Engineer Don Askew that stated the cost of any additional road development needed to handle higher traffic volume from Mrs. Davis’s proposed antique and craft business would be borne by the landowner. At last month’s public hearing on the rezoning, Mrs. Davis said she had applied for rezoning from agricultural to commercial zone partially to avoid the inconvenience of getting special use permits for outdoor advertising. At the time, she noted that Highway Department regulations restricted advertising with signs on her property unless it was either rezoned commercial or unless she obtained permits from the Board of Zoning Appeals. In his letter to the Supervisors, Askew acknowledged that Rappahannock's ordinances would take precedence over state regulations regarding signs if the county's ordinances were more restrictive. Luke next read a letter from Mrs. Donald Kent, repeating testimony she gave Races To Highlight Trophy Presentations Preparations are going forward at full speed for the 29th running of the Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races on Saturday, May 20th at Thornton Hill Farm 2 miles south of Sperryville on Route 522. The promise of good weather for spectators and picnics leads the Race Committee to expect a good crowd. Food and beverages will be available and there will be ample-free parking for all. In an effort to make the races even more popular for spectators, horse owners and riders, this year’s event will highlight the presentation of trophies. A special platform has been made for the presentation of awards to the owners of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place horses and to the winning riders. Important as they are to the tradition and spectacle of point-to-point RCES Spring Musical Planned The Rappahannock Elementary School Spring music program, entitled “It's Music,” will be presented on Thursday, May 18, at 8 p.m. instead of on Thursday, May 11, as had been previously announced. racing, trophies presentation often goes unnoticed. To give the awards their proper place, the Rappahannock trophies will be presented this year, in a ceremony following each race, at the newly constructed announcer's stand where all can see and hear. Two new races have been added to this year’s race card. A Pony Race for riders under 16 years will be run over a flat course. The New Mount Marshall Race will be a 2-l/i mile race for gentlemen foxhunters who have hunted this past season. These two new races promise to be exciting and to please the crowds. Rappahannock's races will start at 11 a.m. with the Pairs Race against the clock and will finish with the unique Hound Race. Fifty of Virginia’s finest foxhounds will compete in spirited competition in a drag race over the rolling course. This race has become a special feature in Rappahannock’s Race day. 1 Tickets will be available at the gates. The public is cordially invited to attend one of Virginia’s finest sports events. Mrs. Chester W. Fannon, Jr. of Castleton is Secretary for this year’s races. at the public hearing in opposition to the rezoning application. Finally, he read a letter from Mrs. Davis that cited zoning ordinance regulations governing outdoor advertising. (The zoning ordinance allows signs in an agricultural district with a special use permit, subject to all other limitations included in the ordinance. Article 11 of the ordinance states that permitted signs having less than 20 square feet in aggregate area are allowed as a matter of right and lists “name signs upon property displaying the name and or address of the premises and the nature of the home occupation,” home occupation signs, farm signs and wayside stand signs in the permitted category.) In her letter, Mrs. Davis also requested rezoning to business district limited, possible if the governing body created such a district by amending the zoning or dinance. Not As Land Luke maintained that the Davis property was "not suitable for agriculture" and hadn’t been used for agricultural purposes since I960. "If not this, what piece of property would you rezone?” he asked. "We've been for things that wouldn't increase school taxes...We want to have people come in, spend their money and then leave...We have to think somewhat of bringing in additional revenue soutces ...These are factors we need to think about regard less of who makes the application (for rezoning)," said Luke. He claimed that opponents of the Davis rezoning had practiced “politics of fear" by raising a lot of "what its" at the public hearing.

Wilson Burke helps to manage the meat. It ’s All In The Family It’s almost a family affait — the Sperryville Corner Store — with brothers-in-law owning and operating it and a sister of one working in it, plus children during summertime. Randolph Clater and Wilson Burke are the present proprietors of this store which has been in existence since anyone can remember. And each of them have been there a good many years. Wilson began his merchandising career as a clerk in the Comer Store in 1952 and Randolph got his start in 1958 while still a high school student. "Inflation, a household word these days, has taken its toll,” said Randolph. “What we spent this morning on stock would have at one time filled this whole aisle, and now it fills only a few shelves.” The other thing which I find most irritating to the small business man is the big enterprises who ignore us while the economy is good and then beat a path to our door when business is slow.” The Sperryville Corner Store is well known for the excellent quality of the meats they sell, and one lady 'a 1 BULLOCK’S Quality Claanan Complete Dry Cleaning and Laundry Service Rugs & Drapes 19 E.

Lady Striders Number One (Continued from Page 1) performance next week at the regionals. A new district record was set in the 440 with Jamelte Prudhum running 58.7 sec. Her time easily defeats all competition from the James River District, which she will meet Saturday. The coaches are looking for a win at the state meet in this event. Laura Tupper assured her teammates that she could fly on the soft rubber track at JMU and fly she did in the 440 relay along with Rhonda Brown, Eleanor Phillips and Natalie Swindler. This team placed 5th overall with their best time of the season, onetenth of a second off the school record. Dawn Keithly broke out of the pack to lead the first half of the 880 yd. race. At mid point, a Stonewall girl passed her only to have Dawn take up the challenge and regain the lead. It was clear sailing to the finish line until Elkton’s Hawkins nipped her in the last yard. Dawn’s time, however, set a new school record, and she looks forward to a rematch with Hawkins this Saturday at the regionals. Liz Freeman ran in the main body of the pack in the 880 yd. run until reaching the last curve. She broke out in‘ an all-out sprint to place 6th at the finish line. Ann Thomas continues a family distance running tradition with a 6th place in tough competition in the mile and running 4th in the 2mile, only to be disqualified by a foul at the start of the race. Her 2-mile time, however, set a new school record of 13:01.5. Both the 880 and mile relay teams offered some of the most exciting moments of Rappahannock’s competition. The 880 relay team, consisting of Janice Aylor, Rhonda Estes, Natalie Swindler and Lynnell Prudhum, demonstrated Rapp’s determination to win by continuing to put forth a forceful effort even after the pack pulled ahead. Lynnell, the team's anchor, made up much lost time in an outstanding display of speed to place the team fifth in the district with 1:57.3. The score at the start of the last event of the meet had the Rapps ahead of their closest competitor, Stonewall, by just one point. It was up to the mile relay team of Dawn Keithley, Janice Aylor, Johanna Day and Jamelle Prudhum to secure the final points which would award RCHS the Skyline District Championship. Each runner was determined not to allow other teams that the Panthers had previously defeated to pass them. Panther fans were ecstatic as Jamelle Prudhum assured them of the varsity girls’ victory when she sped toward the finish, placing the team second with the state qualifying time of 4:17. The relay team successfully surpassed Stonewall in the event, clinching eight points to win the meet. + + + + Mistress of mansion to maid: “When you wait on my guests tonight for dinner, please don’t wear any jewelry.” Maid: "I have nothing valuable, ma’am, but I thank you for the warning." Davis Rezonine (Continued from Page 1) property is going to be used for a business venture whether we rezone it or not,” Luke stated. “But this is the only way we can limit it,” interjected Supervisor J. R. Latham, referring to the uses ranging from restaurants and motels to commercial dairies, service stations and printing plants that would be allowed by right with commercial rezoning. “You do have a point,” Luke acknowledged. He continued that the argument against commercial rezoning as setting a precedent for strip development along the highway could also be used against granting a use permit to allow the business operations proposed by Mrs. Davis. According to Luke, a precedent “could most likely be carried on” if the Davis’ property is kept in an agricultural zone but used as a business. “I hear the argument that we try to tell people what to do” by suggesting that the Davis’ apply for a special use permit from the Board of Zoning Appeals rather than a rezoning from the Supervisors,” said Luke. Mrs. Davis could have gone any of three ways, he noted. She could have (1) conducted her antique and craft business as a home occupation allowed by right in an agricultural zone; (2) applied for a special use permit; or (3) asked for rezoning to a commercial district. “There are pros and cons to each side,” Luke added. Controlled Already “When you go controlling anybody in any way...you’re telling them what to do,” interjected Supervisor H. B. Wood.” All aspects of zoning laws basically tell the landowner what he can and can’t do with his property,” Wood said. “I have a question for you,” he remarked to Col. Luke. “If we rezone this, what wouldn’t we rezone?” Supervisor Clarence Baldwin supported Luke’s position. “If we can’t rezone this, I don’t see what we could rezone,” he stated. Baldwin added that he’d visited the property and found it suitable for the uses proposed by Mrs. Davis. He also noted that only two opponents to the rezoning had contacted him. “I’d have to vote against any other new business coming in if I had to vote against this,” he concluded. “I don’t see any sense in rezoning if we can accomodate the intended use with a special permit,” remarked Supervisor Butch Eastham. “We have provisions for a special use permit. If it takes care of their needs, I don’t see any sense in going any further,” agreed Latham. Luke then read a previously prepared amendment to the zoning ordinance, granting Mrs. Davis’ request for commercial rezoning. However, Latham moved that the rezoning application be denied. Eastham seconded the motion and H. B. Wood voted with Latham and Eastham to turn down the rezoning proposal. daphne McCullough MRS.

No Special Meeting On School Budget The Supervisors will hold no special meeting on the school budget — at least not one that is open for public comment. At last Thursday’s Board meeting. Chairman E. P. Luke stated that he would be glad to discuss the school budget with the School Board but didn’t want to get involved in “some kind of Donnybrook” with people trying to override the School Board’s decision on funding allocations. Luke maintained that the Supervisors have "only bottom line approval” over the school budget. (According to the State Superintendent for Administration and Finance, Paragraph 22-127 of the Virginia Code gives local Boards of Supervisors control over 15 major classifications in the school budget in addition to control over the total. The categories include: administration, regular day School instruction. Other instructional costs, attendance and health services, pupil transportation, school food services, operation of the school plant, maintenance of the school plant, fixed charges, summer school, adult education, other educational programs, capital outlay, debt services and refunds of revenue. The classifications include subheadings; some as many as 15. However, state law gives local Supervisors authority over amounts budgeted in major classifications only and not over any amounts for items included in the subheadings.) In assuring his fellow Board members that he had a thorough understanding of the school budget, Luke reported that he had met “with certain members of the School Board in the Superintendent’s office to go over the budget.” Apparently relying on their Chairman for any necessary explanations, the rest of the Supervisors agreed with Luke that no separate meeting was required on the school budget. Luke also volunteered to meet with Welfare Department Director Elizabeth Buntin and county accountant Walter Cox to make sure that figures from the Welfare budget form are transferred properly to the form used for the county budget. No mention was made of any meeting between Mrs. Buntin and the full Board of Supervisors. Luke reported that he was meeting with Cox following the Supervisor’s session to begin work on the proposed county budget.

However, the offer should be a written one - the only kind that has any real significance and on which you can depend.

The disease of disinterest has hit again in Rappahannock. It struck twice last Thursday —first in the courthouse at the Supervisor s public hearing on the proposed hunter control ordinance and later that night at the Rappahannock Athletic Association’s organizational session to plan a summer baseball program. The outlook is bleak. Judging from letters and comments received by the Rappahannock News during the past two hunting seasons, there’s support for laws that would assist the Game Warden in enforcing restrictions against roadside hunting. But that interest certainly wasn’t evident on Thursday. Only four citizens bothered to show up at the Supervisor ’s public hearing and stand behind ordinances that would make it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in an automobile or along a public road. Maybe people who were concerned last winter feel that the problem with "slob hunters" has disappeared now that the guns are silent for another year. It hasn’t and it won’t until Game Warden Jim Bankston has the tools he needs to enforce existing laws. Bankston feels that passages of the ordinances proposed by the Supervisors will help him combat “slob hunting.” He's the one who spends hours patrolling hundreds of miles of county roads. If anyone knows what is necessarv to control hunting violations committed by the small percentage of bad apples, Bankston should. Wisely, the Supervisors decided to hold the record open until June 1 rather than vote on the ordinances at Thursday’s meeting. Rappahannock residents who support the proposed hunter control laws should shake off their disinterest and contact the Board representative from their district. The public hearing may be over but it’s still not too late to act. It’s not too late to act on saving the >nly county-wide summer recreation program for youngsters either but time s getting short. Just a few dedicated volunteers promised to donate their time at the Rappahannock Athletic Vssociation’s meeting on Thursday. Twenty-two adults cannot possibly hope to run a baseball program that drew over 160 boys and girls last year. There are not enough coaches, groundskeepers or equipment managers and no umpires at all! Where are all the folks who moan about there being nothing for kids to do in Rappahannock County? Where are all the folks who supported the ski area’s proposal for an Alpine slide because it would give young people a place to go and something to do in the summertime? The RAA’s baseball program that began last year is an opportunity for youngsters to participate in a real sport. Everyone can play—boys and girls from kindergartners to high schoolers at all skill levels. The RAA has decided to make a last effort at keeping their program alive. It can’t continue with the minimal support it has now. A second organizational meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 15, at the Sperryville fire hall. Any interested volunteer is welcome. It’s time to do something about Rappahannock’s disease of disinterest before it degenerates into terminal apathy- ,/;n , / 7 'T* - i *■ *- i*s ■ f **f ' ■ •• ; Rappahannock N«w« Staff Photo/Daphne McCullough Our Rappahannock Heritage Emergency Loans Approved The Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) has approved $374,635 in emergency loans to 18 drought stricken farm families in Rappahannock County. These loans are part of a program of special Federal Assistance to drought stricken areas announced by President Carter, according to Chester Bailey, FmHA District Director for Northern Virginia. Approved drought loans for the entire Northern Virginia area total $42.7 million. The special FmHA loans will be used to buy feed, seed, fertilizer, livestock, or to meet interest and depreciation payments on current real estate and chattel debts. The interest rate for actual loss loans is three per cent, for the first $250,000 and five per cent for the balance of the loan. Major adjustment loans over the actual loss loans will be made at eight per cent. Culpeper FmHA offices have closed eleven of the applications already approved from Rappahannock farmers for loan values of $240,630 and have three applications still pending. Letter To The Editor Lack Of Support To the editor: Last Thursday night I attended the meeting of the Rappahannock Athletic Association. This meeting was to elect officers and set up committees for this summer’s youth baseball. Prominent notice was given for this meeting a week prior on the front page of this newspaper. This notice asked for your support by your attendance. I was ashamed by the lack of attendance of parents at this meeting. Twenty-two loyal Rappahannock citizens attended this meeting; twenty-two out of a possible 250-300. I use this possible figure as parents of the 150 boys and girls the RAA supplied summer recreation for last year. The officers of RAA were saddened and disappointed at last week’s turnout. Anywhere I go in Rappahannock and everyone I talk to think it’s such a terrible shame that Rappahannock doesn’t have any organized recreation for our kids outside of school. What can our kids do all summer long? In May of 1977 a group of people got together one night and elected officers, set up registrations, made up their minds that summer recreation was worthwhile for the boys and girls of Rappahannock, determined that they were going to supply it and two weeks later had 169 boys and girls out on the field ready to play baseball. They started without a penny, but raised a little over $1,000. They bought equipment and insurance and played ball. This same group, with a few more volunteers, worked endlessly 5, 6, 7 days a week for three months. A lot of sacrifices were made, but the kids loved every minute of it. At the end of the season, everyone involved had a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Many people who were not involved praised the Association for tneir acmevemenis ana worthwhile cause. The Association was very pleased and optomistic that since they showed the county it could be successfully done — next year they could count on everyone’s support to make the job easier. Support is not just a word. Support is help, assistance, contribution. The Rappahannock News would not print our list of RAA Boosters without a charge and the RAA could not afford to pay. The RAA has the list and they’ll most likely be back to you. Anyone reading this knows if they’re guilty of lack of support, and should be ashamed. The RAA doesn’t want to fold up, but folding is under consideration. The small group who handled it last year cannot do it alone again this year and yet there are 150 boys and girls waiting for registration. Anything’s possible with support and participation. Nothing’s possible without it. Where is everybody? I hope you are at the next RAA meeting, the date and time is listed elsewhere in this issue of the paper! PLEASE COME! If I’ve stepped on anyone’s toes, GREAT. Come to the meeting and tell us about itl DIANE E. KIDWELL RAA Flint Hill, Va. 22627 <Editor’s Note: Mrs. Kidwell, we do not publish long lists of names for any organization free of charge. We are in the advertising business and do charge for cards of thanks for both individuals and organizations. There are many individuals and business establishments which do not want their names published for this enhances the line waiting for a donation. It is obvious that you did appreciate all of the free organizational publicity, pictures, weekly reports, etc. which the Rappahannock News did for the RAA baseball group without charge last year. No Vote On Hunter Control Laws (Continued from Page 1) said. “I don’t think that’s right.” "How many more roadside hunters is Bankston going to be able to catch with this law?" asked Welch. “I didn’t see in the paper where he caught a single one shooting from the road” during the past hunting season, he added. "Why does Mr. Bankston want to put more laws on this gun thing when he can’t enforce the laws already on the books?” asked Herbert Foster. According to Foster, a lot of deer were shot in his orchards during apple picking. "I never saw Mr. Bankston up there this fall—not one time,” he said. "Whether he thinks the hunt club ought to look after that hollow up there, I don’t know." In answer to Col. Luke, Charles Foster reported that the combined membership of the hunting and fishing clubs was approximately 100 persons and all were opposed to adoption of the hunter control ordinances. Carson Johnson, noting he was not a member of either the hunting or fishing clubs, also opposed the ordinances. Adoption would "put us right into something this county just does not need,” he maintained. Bob Dennis, speaking for approval of the ordinance pertaining to carrying a loaded firearm on a public road, pointed out that the regulations wouldn’t apply to persons hunting on their own property. The new law would affect only someone walking down the road carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun without having permission to hunt from property owners along the road, Dennis noted. “How many counties have ! passed ordinances similar to i those proposed for Rap' pah an nock?” asked Charles Foster. Bankston reported that Culpeper, Fauquier and Loudoun Counties had ; enacted similar legislation. He acknowledged that proposad hunter control \ ordinances had been tabled .* in Madison County for a year *■ and turned down in Warren. I Welch questioned the effectiveness of an ordinance outlawing loaded rifles and shotguns in automobiles as a tool for combating roadside hunting. “How long do you think it would take to load?” he asked. “Three seconds for an experienced hunter,” Welch said, in answer to his own question. Foster interjected that frequent loading and unloading of guns would present more of a safety hazard than carrying loaded firearms in an automobile. With comments from the audience expanding to include both proposed ordinances, Col. Luke read the second ordinance that would make it illegal to transport a loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle except when the person believed that carrying a loaded weapon would prevent his life or personal safety from being endangered during pursuit of business or profession. Bob Dennis prefaced his remarks in support of the proposed ordinances by stating that he was a hunter. He questioned whether the new legislation would encroach on anyone’s rights. Some people, particularly out-of-county hunters, “clearly hunt out of trucks along the road," he said. Under current laws that make it illegal to shoot within 300 yards of a public road, the Game Warden has to actually see the rifle fired before he can take action, Dennis noted. The proposed ordinances would only make it easier for the Game Warden to enforce restrictions against hunting from the road, he maintained. Anti-Hunting Sentiment “Since it’s already illegal to hunt from the road, he continued, “1 don’t see how it’s going to change anybody’s rights.” Dennis pointed to studies of antihunting attitudes by the Isaak Walton League and other sportsmen’s organizations that found these attitudes were basically the result of “slob hunters” who trespass and hunt from roads. “Around the state, there’s a lot of concern and suppon t f for the type of ordinance we’re talking about today...I don't believe it will have the kind of impact we’ve heard about this morning (from opponents of the proposed legislation),” Dennis maintained. “If the ordinance against loaded rifles and shotguns in motor vehicles is passed,” said Dennis, "Bankston will be able to take action when he sees somebody from Warren County sitting in a chair in the back of a pick-up truck looking out over a field with a loaded gun in his lap. The loaded gun can then be considered “prima facie evidence of intent to hunt,” Dennis concluded. “We’re against slob hunters,” countered Charles Foster, noting that he and other members of the Flint Hill hunting club had lived in Rappahannock all their lives while Dennis had been in the county only eight or ten years. Foster asked how Commonwealth Attorney George Davis was going to prosecute violations of the proposed ordinances when the regulations say “you can carry a gun (in a vehicle) to protect your property.” Aimed At Slob Hun ten Sean Kilpatrick maintained that approval of the two ordinances would “promote hunter safety...and provide a tool to better enforce existing laws.” Neither ordinance, he added, is aimed at the true hunter—“the man who wants to get out in the woods and look for game.” Instead, the ordinances are directed at ‘trigger happy slob hunt;rs...most (of them) from out of the county or out of state, some even from out of the country.” The present law against road hunting is unenforceable because the Game Warden has to actually see the violator pull the trigger, Kilpatrick continued. If the Game Warden is sitting up on the hill, “our slob hunter isn’t going to shoot,” he added. Kilpatrick reported that he counted over two dozen motor vehicles creeping along his gravel road at less than five miles per hour on the opening day of the last deer season—all before the school bus came at 7:30 a.m. "They weren’t avoiding pot holes," he noted. Hunters have got to "clean up their act” before the rising tide of anti-hunting, anti-gun sentiment eliminates the sport altogether. Kilpatrick warned. He told the Supervisors that slob hunters were a problem throughout the county According to Kilpatrick, one of his neighbors lost a goat and a dog to illegal turkey hunters who were shooting on posted property, while another neighbor lost a cow. “As far as I’m concerned, only a fool carries a loaded rifle in an automobile,” Kilpatrick continued. His remark met with an im mediate response from hunters in the courtroom. "Don’t you tell me I’m a fool. You rephrase that right now,” insisted Elwood Welch. “I keep mine loaded too and I’m no fool,” agreed Charles Foster. “What you’re saying ain’t making a whole lot of sense no ways,” Welch added to Kilpatrick. Ignoring the interruption, Kilpatrick pointed out that National Rifle Association hunter safety courses—a prerequisite for a hunting license in some states—emphasize that a loaded rifle should never be carried in an automobile. “It’s an accident looking for a place to happen,” maintained Kilpatrick. “A good hunter doesn’t load his firearm until he’s ready to shoot it,” he concluded. Charles Foster noted again that support for the ordinances came from “newcomers” to Rappahannock. "If the majority of road hunters are from out of county, why restrict the natives?” he asked. "We’re the people who have to live under these ordinances.” Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis blamed most of the hunting problems on the two-week difference in deer season between the east side and the west side of the mountains. “Ninety per cent of our problem arises in those two weeks,” he maintained. Davis added that he saw a problem with the ordinances in regard to the definition of a loaded gun. “Is a firearm considered loaded when it has ammunition in the breech or ammunition in the magazine?” he asked. Charles Foster reported that the Game Warden defined loaded as having ammunition in the magazine. No Newcomer “I’m not a newcomer. I’ve been here all my life,” stated Supervisor H. B. Wood. "And 1 don’t want to stop hunting...I’ve never turned down a soul who wanted to hunt on my land.” However, Wood added, the proposed ordinances would not take away anybody’s rights. Instead, enactment would give the Game Warden a tool to stop illegal road hunting "where I think my rights are being taken away,” said Wood. He added that he didn’t know how long he could keep his property unposted if violations by “slob hunters” continued. “It seems like a lot of the opposition (to the proposed ordinances) is directed at me personally,” said Game Warden Jim Bankston. “I’m looking out for their (the hunters’) rights.” Opposition to hunting is growing, he noted, with most antihunting sentiment a direct result of violations by a few. “A landowner should be able to sit in his home and feel safe and secure,” Bankston maintained. “I invite any one of these gentlemen to ride with me,” he continued.. “Then they could see the cars and pickups cruising at five miles per hour along posted property “waiting for the opportunity to shoot the first thing that steps out.” He added that he was only one person responsible for patrolling 274 square miles. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin asked Bankston if he wasn’t just "assuming” that persons driving slowly down back county roads were hunting. No Assumption “They’re hunting,” answered Bankston firmly. "I've seen them stop a car, jump out and run up on a bank. The only thing that stopped them from shooting was my car behind them.” Adoption of the two proposed ordinances would act as a deterent to road hunting, he maintained. “It’s the responsibility of any legitimate hunter to police his sport,” Bankston continued. In too many instances, the public sees only the "visible element” —those who "drive along the road with guns and beer cans.” The proposed ordinances would help control the visible few who give all hunters a bad name, Bankston said. Sean Kilpatrick reported that it took a serious hunting accident to get hunter control ordinances passed in Culpeper County. According to Kilpatrick, two boys on private property were riding in the back of a pick-up truck when they were shot by a hunter “blasting away into the woods” from the shoulder of the road. After ordinances similar to those proposed for Rappahannock were adopted, "roadside hunting damt\ near ceased to exist in Culpeper County,” he said. “In Rappahannock, its currently illegal to shoot from a road, not to hunt,” explained Bankston. Ross Hales told the The Little Fox Supervisors that he had “no objection to a law that would help the Game Warden, who’s a dedicated person. If he thinks it will help...then I’m for it,” he stated. Peter Kreyling maintained that enactment of the ordinances “will help hunters in the long run. In the four years I’ve been here, I’ve noticed more and more land being posted all through the county,” he said. Passage of the proposed hunter control laws “would help combat the anti-hunting sentiment that is causing landowners to post their property,” said Kreyling. “The more you can do to keep out-of-county hunters out, the more there’ll be here for you," he told the hunting club members. “I think the ordinance will do more to protect their (the hunters) hunting rights and their property than it’s taking away,” said Supervisor J. R. Latham. Infringement “One of the things that bothers me is the infringement pert,” remarked Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “TTiere's no way of telling if a gun is loaded without stopping a car and checking...We’re being infringed upon enough already,” he said. "I don’t intend to stop any car that’s going 60 miles an hour,” Bankston responded. “If I see someone going five miles an hour, whether 1 see a gun or not, I’ll stop them. I have the right to stop them now. What I want is something to charge them with if I find a loaded gun.” In a motion to close the public hearing, Supervisor J. R. Latham also moved to adopt both proposed ordinances. His motion to enact the two ordinances failed for lack of a second. However, it appeared that the rest of the Board didn’t hear the second part of Latham’s motion. Chairman E. P. Luke suggested that the Supervisors delay action on the proposed ordinances and a vote was postponed until the June 1 Board meeting. H I

A native of Europe and Asia, it was first found in the Untied States in Berrien County, Michigan, in 1962. The beetles are strong fliers and travel in summer on gusts of wind. Today they can be found in 21 states. Last year two fields of spring oats in Rappahannock County had to be sprayed to salvage the crop. Based on experiences in other counties and states to the West of us, we can expect a larger more widespread beetle population in our county this year. On May 23, the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, Virginia Department of Agriculture and the U.S.D.A. will hold a field day to distribute and release cereal leaf beetle parasites in designated grain fields. During the early morning hours on May 23, entomologists will gather parasitized cereal beetle larvae at the Shenandoah Valley Research Station at Steeles Tavern. The “bugs” will be collected in specially designed containers and flown to the nearest airport. County Agents from surrounding counties will pick up the parasites and release them in 3 infested spring oat fields in each county. Cereal leaf beetle parasites are tiny wasps imported from Europe which do not sting. The wasps have been fieldraised and are harmless to everything except the cereal leaf beetle. The wasps attack beetle larvae by laying their own eggs inside the host. When the parasite eggs hatch, the young wasps eat their way out—destroying the cereal leaf beetle in the process. Where parasites have been established for several years, the control program has proven to be an effective means of controlling the cereal leaf beetle. In some areas of the U. S., parasites alone have accounted for at least 70 per cent of cereal leaf beetle mortality. If you planted spring oats this year, I need your help to make this program successful. Please call me, if you would like to cooperate. Oat fields in which the parasites are released cannot be sprayed with a pesticide. The final decision on where to release the parasites will be based on the degree of infestation by the cereal leaf beetle larvae, the geographic location and the cultural practices to be followed on the farm.

More adult and teenage volunteers are needed to keep alive the Rappahannock Athletic Association’s summer baseball program for boys and girls. Only 22 people attended the organizational meeting on May 4 so another attempt at rounding up help is planned. A second organizational meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 15, at 8 p.m. in the Sperryville fire hall. Association president Guy Foster stressed that at least 25 more volunteers are desperately needed to keep the program going. So far, Foster has no umpires at all, no coaches for the older boys and no groundskeepers to be responsible for laying lime to mark the fields. Additional assistance is also needed in the girls’ program and with younger boys. It is not necessary to have children in the baseball program in order to be a volunteer. Help from any interested adult or teenager is welcome. For further information, attend the meeting at the Sperryville fire hall or, if unable to do so, contact Guy Foster at 6753467. Supervisors Authorize Grant Application For Comprehensive Plan The Rappahannock Supervisors took a first step towards a comprehensive plan for the county at last Thursday’s Board meeting. At the request of Fanning Baumgardner, acting on behalf of the Planning Commission, the Supervisors authorized the Planners to apply for a grant application with the Farmers Home Administration to cover costs of formulating a comprehensive plan for Rappahannock. Baumgardner told the Supervisors that Planning District 9 staffer David Marshall had suggested applying for the grant. If approved, the county would have to put up one-fourth of the total grant amount but this could be in the form of money or in-house labor contribution, according to Baumgardner. The Planning Commission reviewed and accepted Marshall’s recommendation, he reported, and needed a resolution from the Supervisors to apply for funds under section three of the Rural Planning Grants program. The program allocates $5 million dollars for rural planning nationwide Marshall told the Supervisors. “That’s not a whole lot of money but Rappahannock meets the guidelines nicely,” he said. The grant application will be reviewed at the local, state and federal level, Marshall continued. “By applying doesn’t mean you’ll get the money,” he cautioned, but repeated that he felt Rappahannock’s chances were good on getting sufficient funds to cover the costs of By NANCY SECRIST | AfWt i»- --4 Many of the plants we grow are toxic, especially to young children who have a habit of putting any object in their mouths. An Ohio girl died because at a makebelieve tea party she ate berries picked from a Daphne plant in her mother’s rock garden. It is important to teach children never to eat or put in their mouths any plant or berry not commonly used as food. The National Safety Council lists the following varieties, identifying their toxic parts. House plants: hyacinth, narcissus, daffodil (bulbs); oleander (leaves, branches); dieffenbachia (dumb cane), elephant ear, (all parts), rosary pea, castor bean, (seeds). Flower garden plants: larkspur (young plants seeds); monkshood (fleshy roots); autumn crocus, starof-Bethlehem (bulbs); lily-ofthe-valley, (leaves, flowers); iris (underground stems); foxglove (leaves); bleeding heart (Dutchman’s breeches) (foliage, roots). Ornamental plants: Daphne (berries); wisteria (seed pods); golden chain (bean-like capsules in which the seeds are suspended); laurels, rhododendron, azaleas (all parts); jessamine (berries); Lantana camara (red sage) (green berries); yew (berries, foliage). Trees and shrubs: wild and cultivated cherries (twigs, foliage); oaks (foliage, acorns); elderberry (shoots, leaves, bark); black locust (bark, sprouts, foliage).

The Supervisors voted unanimous approval for the grant application by the Planning Commission. Marshall reported that they should receive word on funding by July 1. Martha Jones, Criminal Justice Planner for PD 9, reported to the Supervisors on two grant applications under the Planning District’s Criminal Justice Plan that apply to Rappahannock. The first would cover membership in the Central Shenandoah Police Training Academy and would provide training for county police officers. The grant requires a five per cent cash match that amounts to $52 in local money, according to Jones. The second grant is for two radios for the Sheriffs Department and money to convert existing radios so the Rappahannock Sheriffs department can communicate with county law enforcement officials in Fauquier. Jones told the Supervisors that this grant also requires a five per cent local match that amounts to $162.50. Since police training is mandatory, the county “certainly ought to take advantage of only having to pay five per cent of the costs,” commented Sheriff W. A. Buntin. He added that it was necessary to replace the state police radios because the state police were changing to a new system. The Supervisors voted unanimously to approve the two Criminal Justice Plan grant applications. Unanimous approval was also given the reappointment of Dave Fannon and Allen Stokes to the county Planning Commission. In other business the Supervisors accepted the low bid from John H. Moore in Front Royal for carpeting on the courtroom steps. Moore offered a five year warranty with a guarantee to replace the carpet if it wore down m more than ten per cent. <8 “Even with a rug on top, X the squeaking will go on if x the steps are not renailed 9 first,” said Supervisor 9 Chairman E. P. Luke. gj "Here’s one of the best 2 carpenters in the coun- St ty—Peter Kreyling,” in- 9 terjected Supervisor Clarence S Baldwin waving his arm g towards the audience. “Ask $ him what he thinks,” || Baldwin suggested. Kreyling advised screwing the steps down before installing carpet. Luke agreed to check with the person he planned on hiring for repair work at the jail to see if he’d work on the courtroom steps. Luke also volunteered to investigate the possibility of moving the fence behind the jail to provide additional courthouse parking space. In a final item, the Supervisors authorized Commonwealth Attorney George Davis to check on the rates for an insurance policy that would cover replacement costs of buildings in the courthouse complex. Davis pointed out to the Board that the current policy doesn’t come anywhere near close to covering loss over $10,000. “I’m not objecting to the policy,” said Davis. “I just want you to know what you have, and you don’t have replacement costs.” H—M-+ Real equality is not something to be decreed by law.
