"I'm getting more and more depressed about falling behind... I can’t even keep up with the mail. Some days, it takes me all day just to read and distribute it.” “I don’t know what’s going to happen to us,” Mrs. Buntin continued. “I feel like I’m losing all efficiency and it’s been going on for two years.” She attributed most of her department’s problems to the increasing number of programs developed by various agencies that “live in little white towers down there in Richmond.” “What can be done about it?” asked Board member Carter White. “I know what I think we need and it’s just not Bloodmobile Coming A public meeting on the Soil and Water Conservation Act of 1977 will be held on Thursday, May 25, at 7:30 in the courthouse. The 1977 Act requires public involvement in setting goals and establishing the needs of future soil and water conservation programs. Any and all who are interested in conservation are invited. Conservation Meeting The Ameican Red Cross Bloodmobile is coming to Rappahannock once again, Thursday, June 8. The Bloodmobile station, to be located at the Trinity Parish Hall in Washington, will be open to the public from 1 to 3 p.m. and 4 to 6:45 p.m. Due to generous public response during last summer’s drive, a Rappahannock resident was greatly aided through serious open heart surgery. The importance of each donation cannot be overemphasized. Please help make this year’s Bloodmobile Drive the life-giving success it can be. Don’t let June 8 pass without taking a moment to give. A moment of your time may mean a lifetime to someone else. possible,” Mrs. Buntin replied. “I think we need more staff.” Ellen Mustoe supported the suggestion. “Mrs. Buntin wears too many hats,” Miss Mustoe maintained, citing her supervisor’s responsibilities as social worker and Welfare Department Director. "Title 20 was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” interjected Mrs. Buntin. Under Title 20’s federally funded programs, she noted, it is her responsibility to fill out all the required purchase orders and invoices. (Programs funded through Title 20 include foster care, transportation, mental health counseling, companion and other services not provided directly by county Welfare Department personnel.) Food stamp worker Nancy Reeve recalled that Rappahannock's Title 20 plan called for a fiscal officer. That’s another of Mrs. Buntin’s hats, commented Ellen Mustoe. Mrs. Buntin reported that she’d met the previous day with Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke and accountant Walter Cox on the Welfare Department’s proposed budget for the coming year. She noted that donated Title 20 funds show up again this year in the budget as revenue. This is confusing, she maintained, because people then assume that the donated money can be used in place of county funds to pay for services. Since the use of Title 20 funds is tightly restricted and controlled, this item shouldn’t show up in the budget as revenue, according to Mrs. Buntin.

Highway Funds Allocated Fund allocations for construction of interstate, arterial,' primary and urban highway facilities were tentatively approved by the Virginia Highway and Transportation Commission last Thursday, May 18, for the fiscal year which will begin July 1. Construction fund appropriations for Rappahannock County include $125,000 for Route 211 from the Washington bypass west towards Spcrryville to cover preliminary engineering and $30,000 for construction on Route 231 between Route 522 and the Madison County line. Warrenton and the counties of Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock will also share $900,000 for rights-of way and construction on Route 211. The total for Culpeper District allocations is $68,952,000. The state total ** $363,840,000, a decrease of about $6,500,000 from the amount distributed for the 1977-78 fiscal year. The Highway Department attributes the decrease to increasing maintenance expenditures that will leave less for construction. Citizens Meeting The Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education will conduct a public meeting Monday evening. May 29, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the parish hall of the Episcopal Church at Washington. Lady Panthers R un Second In State The Rappahannock Girls Track Team closed out a brilliant season on Saturday with a second place finish in the state meet at Charlotesville. A small army of fans from the county saw the lady panthers proudly capture the runner-up trophy with 44 points, losing out on the championship to Cumberland by only two points. Luray was third with 38 points and Stuarts Draft, last year’s champion, was fourth with 23 points. Fifty-two schools competed in the meet. However, many failed to score. Seven girls raced for Rappahannock. Jamelle Prudhum was a standout competitor, racking up 22 points for wins in the 220 and 440 yard dashes. She also anchored the mile relay team which placed second. In the 220, Jamelle flew to a new state record of 25.7 seconds, lowering the old mark by .2 seconds. Her time in the 440 yard dash was only .3 second off the state record she set in 1976. Jamelle also holds the state record in the 100 yard dash but didn't compete in that event on Saturday. Dawn Keithley sped to a first place finish and state championship in the 880 yard run. She pulled out in a fast start and held the lead throughout the race, pulling away at the finish. Her time of 2:29.6 was good enough for a school record but missed the state mark of 2:23.4 set in 1977. Lynnell Prudhum ran for a first in her heat of the 80 yard low hurdles and then came back in the finals of the event to place third. Her time of 11.4 seconds established a new school record. The girls title in state Group A standings came down to the final event of the day — the mile relay. Rappahannock needed a first place finish to pull off a victory and the state championship. Dawn Keithley led, handing off to Janice Aylor with Johanna Day running the third leg. Competition was close. Five schools were jockeying for position with Rappahannock in fourth place at the start of the anchor leg. Poquoson High School had a big lead from its first three runners. Stuarts Draft and Luray were running second and third when Jamelle Prudhum made her bid. Jamelle and the runner from Luray passed Stuarts Draft in the final stretch and then Jamelle inched out Luray at the wire to place the mile relay team second. Two other girls competed for Rappahannock at the state meet. Jennette Beebe and Liz Freeman performed well in the discus throw and the 880 yard run but did not place. The Lady Panthers took their own cheering section to Charlottesville. Besides other members of the team who weren't competing in the state meet, the RCHS boosters included Superintendent William Bloomer, Mrs. Dennis Wingfield, Mr. and Mrs. James Prudhum, Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy Freeman, Ron Wiley, Karl Studt. Donald Keithley, Henry Hudson, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Johnson, Walter Day, Kevin Day, Guy Foster and Mrs. Doris Gore. What Is The Park’s Future? By daphne McCullough Rappahannock IHcw» Suff Writer A public participatior workshop, the first step ir preparation of a new Genera Management Plan foi Shenandoah National Park will be held on Tuesday, Ma< 30, at 7:30 p.m. in th< Rappahannock Elemental-; School. The workshop will giv< members of county govern ment and individual citizen: an opportunity to share theii observations, ideas and concerns about the future management, development and operation of Shenandoah National Park, according to Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. "This new General Management Plan," said Superintendent Jacobsen, “is designed to take a critical look at the Park (1) to see how well it is serving the purposes for which it was established, (2) to identify any problems that have developed, (3) to propose alternatives for their solution, and (4) to establish firm objectives and direction for Church Pews Recovered rm. iaiem s cnurcn pews came home on Sunday. After months of work by the Restoration Association and Commonwealth Attorney George Davis, the 154-yearold benches were returned from a church near Virginia Beach where they had been ‘‘on loan” for almost eight years. Members of the Restoration Association traced the missing pews to “a man by the name ot Granstaff,” reported Rev. Gale Titchenell. According to Titchenell, Granstaff supposedly took up a petition several years ago to borrow the pews with the understanding that they would be returned if requested. Once restoration work on t’te old church began, Granstaff was written and asked to bring the pews back to Rappahannock. But THE MT. SALEM MOVING COMPANY—Ch-rU. r.™™ r ***-**** Holschuh *s house guests Elmer Brsdl^^nV^L T C ’ °!°rg! Smoot’ Howdy Holschuh and the p—»«“ “"io*d ,he »,d —*» A he ignored the request. “Why, he wouldn’t even respond," Titchenell recalled. Last fall, Granstaff was in the county to conduct revival services. He was approached by members of the Mt. Salem Restoration Association about returning the pews, according to Rev. Titchenell, who added that Granstaff insisted nothing could be done without action from the trustees of his church. “Later Mr. Davis discovered that this Mr. Granstaff was one of the trustees and could have released the pews at that time,” said Titchenell. Davis went to Virginia Beach, Titchenell continued, and found that Granstaff s church had reneged on a loan, and as a result, the church was locked up with the pews inside. Davis talked to a lawyer representing the church and to a lawyer from the company that had purchased the building. According to Titchenell, Davis was told that both parties wanted the pews out and that he could go ahead and remove them. Last Sunday, Davis and his nephew accompanied by Don Tuthill drove a truck furnished by the Sperryville Emporium down to Virginia Beach to pick up the old pews and bring them back to Mt. Salem. According to Rev. Titchenell, the loan of the pews was illegal in the first place. At the time Granstaff took the pews, Mt. Salem’s congregation was disbanded and the old church had no Board of Trustees. Without the approval of the Trustees to allow GranstafTs church to use the pews, it would have been necessary for the remaining members of the Mt. Salem congregation to hold an open meeting to authorize the loan, subject to approval from Circuit Court. “Those who signed the petition (to allow GranstafT to take the pews) didn’t know that what they were doing was illegal," Titchenell said. Since the removal of the pews was illegal, the persons who removed them were subject to criminal action "if George Davis had been so inclined to swear out warrants," Titchenell added. Mt. Salem’s pews aren’t just ordinary church seats. Mt. Salem is the oldest church structure in Rappahannock County and these original pews were built around 1824. They are now considered antiques, Titchenell said, and are valued at approximately S10.000. Mt. Salem has been restored through labor and contributions from friends both inside and outside the county. Tax deductible donations to the restoration fund can be sent to the Mt. Salem Church Restoration Association, in care of the Rappahannock National Bank, Washington, Virginia 22747. Services are held at Mt. Salem Church every Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m., with Rev. Titchenell officiating. The public is invited to come and worship, see the progress made thus far and sit in the old pews that have finally come back home. 1 the management, operation and development of the Park for the next 20 to 25 years.” When the proposed draft Management Plan was first presented to the Rappahannock Planning Commission in February, 1977, the Planners drew up a list of questions for Planning District Director John Capelle to forward to Superintendent Jacobsen. Boundary Realignment A map included with the draft Plan showed possible Park expansion that ap peared to involve substantial acreage from Sperryville to Washington and on to the Flint Hill area. Responding to the Rappahannock Planning Commission’s concerns. Jacobsen said in a letter to Capelle that "any questions concerning future land acquisition cannot be answered until boundary alternatives have been prepared and the public has had an opportunity for review and response." If there is public support for boundary realignment. (Continued on Page 4) Mental Health Public Dinner Meeting May is Mental Health Month.

She noted that there’s very little local planning going on to provide for services that may be required in the future. Four meetings sponsored by the state Welfare Department were held recently to gather public input, but the meetings “didn’t reach the local level,” she said. The Rappahannock Welfare Department was not represented at any of these meetings, the closest of which was held in Falls Church. “We need to think about doing a better needs assessment here in Rappahannock County,” Mrs. Buntin stated. However, she added that the Welfare Department couldn’t accomplish this “until the general public knows what we’re doing now.” Despite misgivings, the Welfare Board approved an agreement with the state Welfare Department to use federal funds under Title 20 to buy social services. “This is a serious matter,” said Mrs. Buntin. “It has always frightened me. It places a lot of responsibility on us to do things right.” Board Chairman J. ft. Latham described the agreement with the state Welfare Department as “kind of one-sided. We agree to do everything they say.” “And they agree to give us the money for it,” finished Ellen Mustoe. + + 4- + Of all human inventions, the most needless is the excuse.

I Park Trades Rappahannock Land By daphne McCullough Rappahaanoek New* Staff Writer A proposal to trade privately owned land in Greene County for Park land in Rappahannock and Warren Counties received final approval recently. National Park Service Regional Director Richard Stanton okayed the exchange of 442 acres in Greene County owned by Col. Evan McNear, Rayner V. Snead and Eric Adamson for three parcels of Park land containing ap proximately 312 acres in Rappahannock and one parcel of Park land containing approximately 93 acres in warren County. Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen described the Greene County property involved in the land swap as “a critical backcountry ridge and valuable resources area in the Saddleback Mountain area.” “In addition to the ridges and valleys, the Saddleback Mountain complex contains PUBLIC SALE m Thurs.

From the moment you take title to the day you turn over the key to the next inhabitants, you are endowed with opportunities to minimize your tax bill. While you own the home, your two major annual deductions are property taxes and the interest on the mortgage. These can be considerable deductions. Keep in mind that it doesn’t matter whether you pay property taxes directly or through an escrow account held by the bank. In either case, you deduct the sum actually paid to the local taxing authority.

However, he noted that once the land trade is final, Park authorities would have no control over the property. Loftis recalled that there had been only one other trade of Park land since his assignment at Shenandoah five years ago and that involved a very small parcel. In a telephone interview on Tuesday, Eric Adamson, one of the property owners involved in the land trade, said he and his partners had owned the land in Greene County for five years. For three of those years, said Adamson, Greene County had no zoning ordinance or restrictions on development “and we didn’t subdivide. I think history is probably better than future assurances,” he added. Adamson noted that he, Snead and McNear had been talking about a swap with Park officials for almost four years and had been "presented with eight or twelve different parcels...all over the place. Frankly, we were more interested in acquiring something closer to home,” Adamson said, in explaining why the owners had agreed to a trade for property in Rappahannock’s Old Hollow. “None Of us are developers...That’s not our interest,” Adamson stated. “If you walked it (the three parcels in Old Hollow), you’d wonder why we exchanged.” He described the Old Hollow property as extremely steep with part virtually cliffsides and inaccessible by road. “It’s physically undevelopable...from a practical standpoint (and) has value only to adjacent property owners,” Adamson said. “Fom a good Samaritan standpoint, the Park should have the (Greene County) property,” he continued. The land overlooks Skyline Drive and is only 1000 yards from one of the largest falls in the park. The Greene County land is also steep but has some development potential because of its prime scenic location, Adamson maintained. He described the trade as a fair exchange—“lousy land for lousy land.” Cement Dust Fattens Steers rreliminary studies by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md., indicate that someday cement kiln dust may be an unexpected ration additive to increase the daily weight gain of beef steers. However, H. John Gerken Jr., animal science Extension specialist at Virginia Tech, warned that the results are only preliminary and “farmers should not rush to start feeding cement to cattle on the basis of available information.” The Beltsville researchers found 750-pound steers gained 2.9 pounds per day wnen tea J.o per cent cement kiln dust while control steers fed a more normal ration gained 2.3 pounds per day. Cement kiln dust is a byproduct of the cement manufacturing process, it is a very fine material that is collected from the hot gases given off from kilns or ovens in which the ingredients used to make Portland cement are heated to temperatures as high as 150 degrees Centigrade. Chemical analysis of the dust, Gerken said, shows it is a complex blend of many mineral elements.

The building, whose initial construction began last fall, is owned by Vernon Scott, son of C.D. Scott, both natives of Castleton. Scott is not a new hand in car dealership work. Previosuly employed at Piedmont Chevrolet Olds mobile and Embrey-Atkins Ford, he is a well known salesman who has been in the area for six years. Theopening of his dealership is the culmination of seven months’ of planning and labor. If you’re one who feels that characters of a hardworking and industrious nature are becoming types of the past, then ask Scott about the construction of his building. The structure, which was under construction throughout the winter, is the work of Scott and his father. Scott’s long-range goal is to eventually develop a small foreign car dealership. But for now' he wants to maintain a quality dealership with a "good service department.” This Rappahannock native is hopeful. As a man who enjoys people, Scott says, “I like to do business with the general public...I am optimistic about the business.” + + + + A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world. particles which, coupled with the extreme heat, may explain the availability of minerals. The buffering effect of the high calcium content of the cement dust also may be beneficial. Further research being conducted at Beltsville with finishing steers and growing lambs may explain the cause of the unexpected results. Gerken said that it is not known if cement dust other than that obtained from a Georgia cement plant will produce the same results. Tests have begun to determine the chemical content of the product since one theory for the increased growth is the correction of a yet unrecognized trace mineral deficiency that could be limited to certain regions of the country. In addition faster gains on a grain-hay finishing ration, the cement dust-fed steers had a 21 per cent improved feed efficiency over the control steers in the 112-day feeding trial. Carcasses from the treated steers were fatter and graded higher at slaughter. The control ration contained fescue hay, timothy hay, ground corn, soyoean meal, molasses, ground limestone, dicalcium phosphate, trace minerals, salt and added vitamins A and D. In additon, the test ration contained 3.5 per cent cement kiln dust. The test ration was 8.25 per cent protein, 1.18 per cent calcium and 0.23 per phosphorous. “It cannot be assumed that cement kiln dust will give the same results as were obtained in Beltsville,” Gerken said. “Beef cattle producers should wait for the results of further testing and the development of specific recommendations before attempting to incoroporate cement kiln dust in their cattle feeding programs.” Promise Land Benefit Dinner There will be a dinner served at the home of Catherine Carter at Washington on Saturday.

THURSDAY, MAY 25,1978 Ski Area Future Slicing through the growing controversy, now toward costly litigation, is one fundamental question which all sides have got to square up to with regard to the Rappahannock ski area’s future. That issue is, most simply—what is going to happen to this 300 acres of commercially zoned prime county real estate if the present ski area owners are denied its use for the proposed yearround ski operations? Those on both sides of this issue can at least agree, based on its long and disastrous history, that our climate and competition from other ski areas offers zero to little hope that the present or any future owner of this land is going to reopen it as a conventional snow skiing area. It has seemed a gift of technology and time that the German designed snowless Alpine Slide came along just now to give this county a clean, healthy new industry. So if the new all-season ski and slide proposal is finally turned down, then this commercial tract must almost inevitably be converted to some form of housing development. It is simply knee jerk dreaming to anticipate any other potential use of such high priced land. And a mountainside development of craekerbox weekend houses is not precisely what this County, or its tax base needs. ^et the same vague zoning use ordinance which has plagued this case from the beginning could make such real estate development virtually inevitable. The courts would all but laugh at an effort by the Board of Zoning Appeals and Supervisors to deny it. To the credit of the present ski area owners, they have in presenting the merits of their case never suggested such an intimidating alternative if the County declined their proposal for year-round sport at the site. The Board of Zoning Appeals and Supervisors should now take a longer look at the County’s best interest, and decide whether they want the proposed recreation area, providing clean industry and employment, or tax costly real estate housing development. In our judgement, the Supervisors and BZA together should prepare a use permit which will enable the ski area proposal to go ahead within those specific constraints which will prevent its becoming any sort of future “Coney Island.” An alternative solution is to call a referendum of County citizens to decide whether or not the year-round recreation area proposal should go ahead. If put to a referendum, there seems little question that the people of this County are going to overwhelmingly approve the ski area proposal. Businessmen and families should not be expected to swallow the proposition of refusing the sort of clean industry and employment opportunity which the ski area proposal offers. It is, to put it bluntly, simply stupid to pour taxpayers money into the sort of litigation now developing. This ski area proposal should be approved without further delay in the long range best interests of the County, either by referendum or by joint action of the Supervisors and the BZA. —Arthur W. Arundel Publisher A Scandal In Richmond? Bv GEORGE BOWLES Rappahannock New* CorrespocKient Rumors of mismanagement. possible scandal and scapegoating rumbled through the halls of the Capitol last week. i n e siiuation is a highly unusual one for the Old Dominion, the governm e n t of which has been remarkably free of such BOWLES things in the past. At mid-week, however, the charges and allegations touched some of the highest officials in the Dalton Administration, and that of his predecessor, former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr These charges center around the sudden removal last March of Louis R. Lawson Jr. as director of the state energy office. The dismissal was announced in a terse statement from the governor’s office to the effect that Lawson was relieved of his responsibilities that same day. Within hours it became known that Dalton had launched a full-blown investigation of Lawson’s agency, and in an unusual after-hours raid, the records of the energy office were impounded by the state police. That investigation is still in progress, and the nature of the charges involved are still a tightly guarded secret. They reportedly concern alleged "improprieties” by Lawson in the use of his expense account and the management of the agency. Law$on, however, believes there is more to it than this, and that his dismissal was, in effect, both an act of revenge and an attempt to cover up far larger mismanagement— or worse — by his superiors. Last week Lawson fired off a strongly worded letter to the governor charging that Secretary of Commerce and Resources Maurice Rowe is the villain in the piece. Covernp Charged “By now I suspect that you may have some concern that Sec. Rowe may have deliberately misled you,” wrote Lawson, "into not reappointing me as Director of the Virginia Energy Office. I feel that the only basis for Sec. Rowe telling you that I was ‘uncommunicative, uncooperative and not the type person who should be the head of a State agency' may have been his personal concern that I not be reappointed.” Lawson believes that the "personal concern” on Rowe’s part had to do with Lawson's determination to investigate the management of the Cheatham Annex petroleum storage facility on the York River if it was placed under his control, and also his concern over the management of the petroleum set-aside program under Rowe’s former deputy, Ed Isbell. (Under the Godwin Administration, Rowe had served as Secretary of Administration and Finance. He was shifted to his present post by Dalton.) Lawson is convinced that Rowe engineered his dismissal, for which he carefully absolves Dalton of blame, in an effort to forestall inquiries into both of these situations. In a cryptically worded paragraph of his letter, Lawson seems to come close to charging Rowe and an unnamed state legislator with a conflict of interest in the matter. Said Lawson, "I believe I know the names of the legislators who talked with you on February 27-March 1 about the ‘allegations’ you said had been made against me. You may find—if you do not already know—that at least one or more of these persons, if my information is correct, may be directly or indirectly linked directly or indirectly to Secretary Rowe’s interests or persons close to him through the petroleum programs, politically or personally” (sic). Investigation Urged Lawson goes on to urge the governor to expedite the investigation as much as possible, and to make the findings public since he has been unable to find employment pending its outcome. Whatever the validity —or lack thereof—of Lawson’s charges, there is a growing sentiment around the Capitol that an effort is being made, from some quarter, to make Lawson the fall guy for whatever mismanagement has taken place in the stateadministered aspects of the petroleum allocation program. Administration officials and knowledgable legislators are maintaining a tightlipped silence on the subject. “Somebody is trying to make Louis a scapegoat,” said a senior member of the House of Delegates, “but when Lawson says it’s Rowe, he’s fingering the wrong guy” The legislator would not elaborate any futher, except to add, “When John (Dalton) gets to the bottom of this thing, some heads are going to roll.” A spokesman for the Governor’s office said Dalton would have no comment on any aspect of the affair-until the investigation is completed. But he would not say that the lawmaker’s estimate of Dalton’s reaction was overstated, either. + + + + The executive’s chief business is to organize, deputize, and supervise. —Ripley Our Rappahannock Heritage What Is The Park’s Future? (Continued trom Page 1) Jacobsen continued, the Park Service will probably seek legislative authorization for purchase of land. (Currently, the Park Service can only accept donated acreage). In the letter, Jacobson applauded the decision of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors in 1974 to maintain public rights-of-way to the edge of the Park. However, in reply to a question on what type of fringe development was proposed along Park boundaries, Jacobsen noted that “the growing need for adequate parking areas and other road and trailhead facilities” along with “protection of trails which lead across private lands into the Park” had not been resolved by the Supervisors’ action. Jacobson also stated that “any questions concerning support facilities must await the formulation and public review of alternatives.” In response to the question asking what roads would be open to fire and rescue service, Jacobsen concluded that “local fire and rescue squad assistance relates to continuing operational cooperation, rather than to planning.” He added that Park authorities “hoped to work with the rescue squads and ftre departments in much the same manner as in the past.” Following Tuesay’s meeting in 'Rappahannock and other meetings held in the rest of the counties that share Park boundaries, a professional park planning unit in Denver, Colorado, will prepare management alternatives with en vironmental assessments for consideration and review by the public. Then, after public workshops on the alternatives, a final General Management Plan with an environmental impact statement will be prepared. The workshop session to be held in Rappahannock next Tuesday “comprises an important part of the first of three opportunities for public input into this three-year planning project,” explained Jacobsen. “While written statements will be accepted for future consideration, these workshops will be conducted in such a mannner as to encourage informal comment and conversation, with materials being provided to assist the participants in submitting written comments at a later date,” he said. DMV Offices Close All Division of Motor Vehicle offices and driver’s testing stations will be closed Monday, May 29 in observance of Memorial Day. The rest of the week offices will be open from 8:30 to 4:30 Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and from 10 to 6 on Thursday. Driver testing stations will operate on regular schedules Tuesday through Friday. Some vehicle license agencies may be open May 29. Since the last few business days of the month are the busiest, DMV suggests you renew your driver’s license or get new decals early and avoid having to wait. + + + + Work keeps at bay three great evils: boredom, vice and need. —Voltaire Police To Enforce 55 Mph This Memorial Day weekend the Virginia State Police and the Highway Safety Division of Virginia will join highway patrols from Maine to Florida in a unified effort to save lives and energy. The multi-state campaign is “Operation CARE” which stands for combined accident reduction effort. State enforcement officers, with the support of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Department of Energy, will pay special attention to speeds and other traffic law violators on Interstate 95 and other routes. Col. D.M. Slane, superintendent, Virginia State Police, said that “since the 55 mph speed limit was enacted in 1974 it has resulted in a dramatic saving of lives on the nation’s highways. “DOT information shows the 55 mph speed limit has been responsible for an annual savings of about 4,500 lives. Litter Grants Total $534,000 The Virginia Division of Litter Control says grants totaling S107.068 have been awarded to counties and cities throughout the state to $534,000. All told, $564,000 will be awarded this year under the Division’s grant program. Many of the most recent grant recipients plan to conduct public informationeducation programs which will bring to light the many issues surrounding the litter problem. Letters To The Editor Changed My Mind To the editor: I am not signing my name for obvious reasons. I was one of persons against the loaded-gun ordinance at the supervisor’s meeting. Mv friends in the club would not understand my feelings, but 1 think the ordinance will be good in the long run. We should have fewer outof-county hunters and more lawful hunting. I hope the supervisors pass the ordinance. “CHANGED MY MIND” Exposure Threatened To the editor: The identity of the persons — residents of Washington, Virginia — whose trash fouls beautiful Bear Wallow Creek is known to a number of concerned citizens. Unless these persons completely remove this filth before June 1, their identities will be made known. NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST All With No Track To the editor: Well, our girls’ trackless track team has done it again! After a season dotted with wins, including district and regional championships, they went to the State Meet for Group A schools on Saturday and came out a close second. Cumberland was first with 46 points; Rappahannock County High, second with 44 points. Although they do not have a home track to run on, these young people have made tracks all over the state this year and they will not be erased. Last summer the people in this county got behind Henry Hudson and his group to raise money for clearing and grading a track for Rappahannock County High Working with the young folks, the people in this county came through hand somely, raising over $6,000 in cash. Contributors numbered two churches, three civic groups, a couple of businesses and 113 individuals. Volunteer work, principally by Mr. Aldrich, has almost cleared the land. It was a bit late last year before all the money was raised. Most of the contractors were busy, and it was hard to get interest in the project at a reasonable money figure. Then came a terrible winter when the ground was either frozen or covered with snow or ice. The project has not been dropped, and it is hoped that it will be finished this summer. The folks who are backing this project are disappointed that no provisions for track equipment or maintenance were made in the new budget this spring. They still hope that something can be inserted, possibly by the Board of Supervisors. TRACK SUPPORTER Parents Must Help io the editor: Whenever one reads a newspaper there is someone being quoted on the subject, “children are reading below grade level.” I don’t question many children are reading below grade level, but 1 must raise a question—How many of the parents who are criticizing the schools for the poor job they are doing teaching reading are encouraging their children to read by their own example? Teaching reading begins in the home and continues to be the responsibility of the home. When parents read to their child during pre-school years they are teaching reading. A child who never sees his parents reading cannot be expected to become a good reader. When a child enters school he is taught reading skills, but he does not become a skilled reader unless he practices the skills learned. Skills can be learned for many things, but like reading, unless used and used and used, will not be developed. I urge parents to ask themselves, "What have 1 done to help my child become a better reader?” Schools cannot accomplish the task alone. FRANCES LYNE On Reading To the editor: Learning to read is a relatively easy process. Man has been learning to read for centuries, many times with little or no formal Instruction. In this day and age with the intense effort put forth to teach reading, why is it then we’re having trouble getting our young people to achieve proper reading levels? The circumstances in Rappahannock County are indicative of what is happening around the country. Having been the reading instructor at Rappahannock County High for the past two years, I am aware of the "reading problem” in our county. 1 am reluctant, however, to categorize the problem as ‘‘simply an administrative problem.” Let me qualify this. The problem will not be solved by an administrative decision to opt for Basal Series X over Basal Series Y, nor will it be solved by making contingency plans for a summer school session. These at best are only cursory attempts to solve the real “reading problem.” Whether a schoolbook is easy or difficult to read does not depend simply on the student’s basic ability or even his motivation. Reading becomes difficult when the visual information it requires is too much for the reader because he has had insufficient prior knowledge or non-visual information. For example, a student confused by a science or history text often does not need better reading ability, but a better understanding of math or history. In other words, we need not only to offer basic reading skills, but basic reading skills in conjunction with stimulating and in-, teresting experiences in life. Reading is only partially a visual activity. The reader must rely far more on the non-visual information that he already has behind his eyeballs, than on the visual information that comes to him from the printed pages. The language experience factor the child brings to the reading task is the critical factor in determining success in reading. With these thoughts in mind, the "reading problem” takes on a whole new perspective. Our county has the newest, most up-to-date reading basal series, we have well-trained, competent, dedicated teachers, and we have students who want to learn, at least up to that point where learning becomes a frustrating experience because of a "reading problem.” Why then do we still have a high percentage of students reading below grade level? We live in a very rual area, yet this area is one of the most culturally advantaged environments in our state, if not the country. We live in a state filled with remembrances of the past. Our nation's capitol, only an hour’s drive away, is filled with just about every area of knowledge, past and present, that any student should have available to him. The opportunity for attaining some “non-visual experience with language” is right at our fingertips and yet the choice often made is to ignore the opportunity. The educators in this county, and by educators I mean parents, teachers, and administrators, must make it a personal challenge to stimulate the minds of our very impressionable young learners. The most critical role in this process must be that of the parent. The best teacher in the world will be the parent who attempts to show his or her child that there is an abundance of knowledge to be committed to learning outside of their immediate environment. This non-visual information will be directly correlated to higher reading levels. The parent as a teacher has many advantages over the school teacher. The school teacher meets with a student at most SO minutes a day. In this short period of time, they can at best offer vicarious experiences. The parent on the other hand has hundreds of hours and the added advantage of having the “world” as a classroom. It does not take a degree in educational psychology to be able to administer a lesson in U. S. History by driving down to one of our national monuments and letting the natural inquisitiveness of youth proceed on its own. Nor does one need to be Rod Serling to sit down and read a tale of Daniel Boone to the vulnerable minds of youth. Perhaps a lesson in history will be all it takes to give them the incentive to read and ultimately attain the education that is vital to each individual. History reveals that our nation has prided itself on the freedom of each in* dividual to choose his own destiny. These freedoms have not always been, and are still not, a reality for many parts of the world. We, as citizens, are able to recognize when our leaders are leading us astray, but only because we have taken advantage of the opportunity for a liberal education in this country. Reading is the key to this liberal education. This tradition must be continued if we are to preserve the Rappahannock heritage as well as the integrity of our Nation. We are not training our youth to leave the environment from which they came, but to better appreciate and protect the same. It is the people of the world who cannot determine their own fate who are always at the whim and mercy of misguiding leaders. Let’s pride ourselves on the fact that we have given our children, through the extra time and effort that it takes, and the leadership, the chance to determine their own fate. Reading is an important medium through which students can learn about the world. It becomes a much stronger medium when it becomes an activity encouraged and aided by the persons a young boy or girl respects most, his parents. An efficient water pump must be primed before it can soak up surrounding water. Similarly, a child’s brain has to be primed before he or she can accommodate the knowledge from a written text. One learns to read by reading and the school is an appropriate setting for this activity. (But this is only one small part of the process that we call learning to read.) The background necessary for a child to become an adequate reader must come from his experiences in life. This is especially critical in the formative yean. Let’s give these kids a chance to be taught in the classroom by offering a helping hand at home. Let’s put a little more responsibility for the success of the students in our county on our own shoulden and not be so eager to point an ac- f cusing finger at educational administrators, programs or teachers. We can make everyone’s job easier by cooperating in an effort to reach the undisputed end. . The desired end being a literate society capable of dealing logically and intelligently with a challenging world. KARL STUDT

Quarterly RLEP Meeting Scheduled June 2 ihe RLEP will hold its quarterly meeting at the Court House in Washington on Friday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. It is hoped that the members and the public at large will attend this forum since the format will be similar to that of a "town meeting.” There will be a film shown, The Region in Change, which depicts the impact of change on the environment and the lives of the people of the Southern Highlands Region, an area which is said to be not dissimilar from Rappahannock County and environs in many respects. This stimulating film, written and produced by Allen Stovall of the University of Virginia Division of Landscape Architecture, will form a background for further discussion. Delegate George Beard, who represents this area in the State Legislature, and Richard McNear, the Director of Planning and Zoning for Fauquier County, will discuss the status of land-use planning on state and local levels. The discussants will respond to the particular interests of the audience as well and an informative program should result. Delegate Beard is Chairman of the Board of the Second National Bank of Culpeper as well as Director and Secretary of the Culpeper Broadcasting Company. Before his election to political office, Mr. Beard addressed the RLEP members on general matters pertaining to environmental issues. Since haveing served in Richmond he can bring to the organizaton insights on planning gained through experience. Mr. McNear has been grappling with the issue of land-use planning in the neighboring county and has had direct experience with this subject on a local level. He has been asked to express hs views on the need for and effectiveness of such planning. Because this topic has become controversial in this region the Board of the RLEP urges the free expression of views by the public now and believes that this forum offers such an opportunity. BILL BRUNDIGE, defensive tackle for the Washington Redskins, will attend the 4-H barbecue dinner which will be held Sunday, May 28 at 1 p.m. at the recreation center at Washington.

Scouts To Camp In Wyoming Three girls from Cadette Girl Scout Troop 502, Lynn Jonn Jones, Shannon Streagle and Wendy Helmer, have been chosen to participate in a two and a half week camping experience in Wyoming this August. They will be staying at the Girl Scout National Center West in Ten Sleep, Wyoming. During their stay the girls will be able to choose from 85 activities including panning for gold, working at an archeological dig classifying Indian relics, and backpacking up the mesa. They will visit Yellowstone National Park and have a white water river raffing trip. Approximately 30 girls from the Virginia Skyline Girl Scout Council will be going on the trip. They will get together before August for three weekend camping trips to prepare for the experience. Specializing In Vo. Country Hum end U.8.

Haydon Road Budget Includes $7000 For Dust Control Dust on secondary gravel roads is a problem in Rappahannock and throughout the state. According to resident highway engineer Don Askew, the Highway Department has budgeted approximately $7,000 for dust control this year in the county. Over $750,000 of the state budget has been allocated for Virginia's summer dust program. Ten thousand tons of calcium chloride, the major treatment, will be applied to more than 14,000 lane miles of the secondary road system. Recent research shows that along a dirt road as much as 28 tons of dust fines per lane mile are being lost each year. Calcium chloride doesn’t come cheap. It costs between $70 and $80 per ton, according to Askew. “We use a mixture of salt and calcium chloride,” he noted. “It does just as good a job but it’s not quite as expensive.” Askew saved $4,000 on Rappahannock’s dust control program last year. The budget allocated $7,000 but Askew reported that only $3,000 was actually spent. Money was saved, he said, by using salt left over from snow removal to mix with and stretch calcium choloride supplies. Askew added that the leftover salt could not be reserved for the following year as it would cake from moisture absorption. According to Askew, secondary gravel roads here are generally treated twice with the first calcium chloride mixture put down in June. He noted that the dust control program might begin a little late this year. “We still have numerous problems with potholes," he explained. Health Problems “Dust on the state's secondary roadway system can prove to be a major inconvenience for the many homeowners located on or near Virginia’s unpaved roads, as well as a detriment to crops. In addition, dust can also cause health problems for those in dividuals suffering from certain respiratory problems,” stated R. P. Wingfield, assistant maintenance engineer for the Department of Highways and Transportation. “Therefore, we are in a control situation where, with the use of calcium chloride, we will prevent the free flow of dust off the secondary roadway system." Wingfield noted that in the coal handling section of the state, primarily in the southwest, treatments will be applied approximately every three weeks due to excessive traffic and materials handled. Virginia has an extensive policy covering the treatment of dust. Briefly, it states that unpaved roads that serve stores, churches, schools, dairy buildings and private dwellings, receiving a minimum of ten vehicles per day shall be treated within 200 feet of either side of the building. Vicious Cycle Askew pointed out that use of calcium chloride to control dust creates a ‘‘vicious cycle.” When applied, it immediately absorbs moisture from the air, goes into solution and penetrates and coats the aggregate as well as binds the road surface. According to Askew, this penetration creates potholes and “washboards” in the road. Then, he continued, the Highway Department is swamped with calls demanding that the potholes be repaired. However, Askew added, scraping the road removes calcium chloride and so the dust clouds return, sparking another onslaught of complaints. Lake’s Paving Co.

Write Laws? "y uafhne McCullough Rapp^nnodi IVm Staff Write, According to Washington Mayor Newbill Milier, the biggest obstacle to controlling land use is the inability of lay persons to pass laws that will stand up in court when challenged. Miller’s remarks came at a two-day land use conference sponsored by the Piedmont Environ men till Council at Airlee House on May 15 and 16. Miller joined government representatives from Loudoun and Albemarle Counties and the town of Charlottesville in a panel presentation on “Local Government: An Endangered Species?” Paxton Marshall, moderator for the panel, introduced the members as individuals who had been “tested in the crucible of the political arena.” Marshall said he was sorry that the panel members “won’t tell the real story that is back of the story they will tell.” If they did, Marshall maintained, “there might be some changes in our laws.” Loudoun County Supervisor Chairman George Yeager, the first speaker from the panel, announced that he believed local government and state government were partners but was “beginning to wonder if our partner is an asset or liability.” Virginia’s Dillon Rule that retains for the state any authority not specifically granted to local government makes it impossible for local government to exercise any real control over local issues, according to yeager. Under the Dillon Rule, local governing bodies can write legislation dealing with dogs but not with cats, he noted. Yeager saw many of the problems confronting local government as arising from the General Assembly. Legislators can’t be knowledgable on over 2,000 separate bills that must be considered during an Assembly session, he said. He described Delegates and State Senators as “pamapered and isolated...more accessible to lobbyists (than to private citizens).” “The system has put knots in the rope and it’s the system that will have to get them out,” said Yeager, adding that legislators needed to have a “town hall attitude.” ‘‘Maybe we ought to reduce the number of lawyers in the General Assembly and try to put people in there,” he continued. To back up his position, Yeager cited a Loudoun legislator who was suing Loudoun Coun on behalf of a developer and, at the same time, was writing ESTATE AUCTION Sat., May 27. 10:00 A.M — RAIN OR SHINE — Farm Equipment.

Mrs. Wanda Hartley, Executor TERMS: CASH LUNCH SERVED KMMTNL NKMU l 0*1141 aim land use law in Richmond He added that lawyers oftei do not share an objective popular outlook on loca problems. “Until we correc the structure of the Genera Assembly, we’re not going t< have much land use policy.” Yeager also maintained that land use law needed tc be clarified for the courts. "The courts,” he said, “art often in competition with local legislative bodies for th< right to legislate." Keep Cities Livable “To keep rural areas rural, it’s absolutely essential for cities to remain livable places,” stated Charlottesville Mayor Nancy O’Brien. “It’s as important for the farmer to be interested in the health of cities as it is for urban dwellers to be interested in the Health of cities.” She added that it was also necessary for rural areas to take care of the service needs of their citizens in order to stop migration from country to city. She noted that bad land use decisions had been made by both cities and counties in their competition for tax revenue and stressed the need for regional land use planning and cooperation between neighboring jurisdictions. Newbill Miller introduced himself as “a very ordinary fellow when it comes to this group here” rather than being an expert or a politician. As Mayor of Washington, he noted that his little town iwth a population of only 189 has no trouble with subdivisions and development. “But Rappahannock County does have a very serious problem,” he added. Fh* Yean Too Late Miller noted that the invitation from PEC to speak at the land use conference came five years too late. “Five years ago, I knew all the answers. Now I stand before you totally confused.’* “The problem is enabling legislation,” Miller continued. "Lay people are asked to pass laws that will stand the test of the courts.” Rappahannock's days “may be numbered,” he said, with the county now in court on three different cases. “We’re criticised for having a policy of no growth,” Miller said. “It’s not true. What people fail to realize is that a 20 lot subdivision will “significantly increase the county’s population,” he explained. “We have the potential to double our population with the existing property owners *ho are now absentee.” Miller said that Rappahannock County wants to -emain rural, wants to 'emain beautiful, wants to -emain agricultural. Sixty to seventy per cent of the copulation shares this hope, le reported. A 40-lot sublivision would increase Rappahannock's school copulation by 50 seats—a AUCTION Estate Of Albert R.

Land use decisions in a county as small as Rappahannock end up being considered on a personal basis, according to Miller. “This may be an obstacle but it isn’t the real problem—the problem is the ability of lay persons to pass laws that will withstand the test of the courts...We need a process developed where lay people can implement the will of the people in a constitutional manner,” he concluded. Tim Lindstrom, Albermarle County Supervisor and a lawyer, maintained that society was now litigation oriented. Therefore, Lindstrom argued, laws and ordinances have to be drafted by someone "trained to think up all the horrible possibilities that can occur” with challenges to the law. No Immunity He saw one of the largest problems facing members of local government as the lack of immunity to suit as an individual. Lindstrom told the audience that million dollar lawsuits brought against members of the Albemarle Board of Supervisors as individuals ‘‘for failure to give a developer exactly what he wants” had resulted in the entire Board disqualifying itself from acting on any issue relating to the suits until they were resolved. The Supervisors disqualified themselves after the Commonwealth Attorney agreed they had a conflict of interest because they couldn’t be fair and objective while the lawsuits were pending, according to Lindstrom. On the basis of what happened in Albemarle, “anyone who wants to see something stopped can bring this kind of suit and paralyze the Board of Supervisors,” Lindstrom maintained. In additon to the threat of individual suit. Supervisors face pressure from a community polarized between growth and no growth, he continued. Lindstrom said this pressure makes Board members lose sight of staging and planning, throwing the county into a growth spiral that nobody can control. “How can Supervisors deal with pressure, with polarization and with people who give a comprehsnive plan only lip service?” Lindstrom asked. “That’s the biggest problem.” "If you think you’ve got a good Board of Supervisors, then sunnort them,” he advised. “The pressures are tremendous.” In the question and answer period that followed the panel presentation, Newbill Miller noted that all of a locality’s solutions to growth problems were economic solutions such as requiring expensive water and sewer systems and streets. “Somewhere along the line, we have to be able to say we’re doing this because the majority of our citizens want it.” “I don’t look at Richmond as the villain. I think they just don’t understand,” Miller continued. There’s an “ignorance of what really exists,” he maintained. “We have to make sure that our legislators understand what they’re doing and the impact of their decisions.” + + + + All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will. —Novalis r FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE Rt. 55/709, Marshall 364-1566 REGULAR TUESDAY SALE State Graded Fat Cattle Sale 3rd Tues. of Every Month uPi/P MINERS in the musical production given by KCES students Thursday are Jim Racer and Jim Wink.
