Personal Policy Review Continued Binding Arbitration Denied By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock ^rw» Staff Writer Members of the Rappahannock School Board voted unanimously to deny a request for binding arbitration in grievance procedures as the review of the personnel policy manual continued at the June meeting of the Board. They also turned down requests from the Rappahannock County Education Association (RCEA) for a change in reassignment policy, raise in unused sick leave pay to $20 per day and an additional day awarded for personal leave. Reading from a prepared statement, RCEA president Don Bomberger maintained that binding arbitration should be made available “in the best interest of the community, the board and the teachers” for the resolution of contractual disputes. He acknowledged that the Virginia Supreme Court had denied the state Board of Education’s right to impose binding arbitration on local school boards. However, he continued that “the Attorney General has recently ruled that local school boards may adopt, on their own motion, a procedure which includes binding arbitration and may implement the procedure if it is approved by the State Board. They way is clear for this Board to adopt binding arbitration of grievances as was previously the policy prior to the Supreme Court’s ruling,” he said. After Bomberger's statement, Superintendent William Bloomer passed out material from the state Board of Education, detailing.a proposed alternative to binding arbitration. Bloomer later explained that binding arbitration was included in the State Board's mandated grievance procedure in 1976. Under this procedure, a teacher who was unable to satisfactorily resolve what she or he felt was an unfair application of School Board policy could appeal first to the principal, then Superintendent of schools, then School Board and finally to an arbitration panel. The decision of the panel—composed of one representative appointed by the teacher, one by the School Board and one off of a list from the American Arbitration Association, if the other two members are unable to agree on a third, impartial member—was final and binding. Recently, the Virginia Supreme Court held this procedure to be an illegal deliegation of School Board authority and ruled that the State Board of Education cannot impose binding arbitration on local school boards. As a result, binding arbitration has been stricken from the state’s mandated policy. Advisory Arbitration In the place of binding arbitration, the State Board has proposed that teachers with a grievance first try resolution with the principal, then Superintendent before appealing to an arbitration board. The board, with the same membership as the old binding arbitration panel, would be advisory only. The final decision, under the new proposed procedure, would rest with the local School Board. Bloomer noted that grievance procedures are rarely involked by teachers. Usually a compromise is worked out, he said, between the teacher and the principal or between the teacher and the Superintendent. Only rarely do disputes come before the School Board in a formal grievance procedure, according to the Superintendent. School Board policy is not grievable. Bloomer continued. Grievances pertain only to the application of policy. As an example, he said that the Board may set 8:30 for the time that all teachers have to begin the work day. If one teacher is Tired for tardiness while another who continually shows up late is only reprimanded, then the first teacher's dismissal is grievable. “Grievances usually result from different interpretations of policy,” he said. At the June Board meeting. Bloomer emphasized that the Rappahannock School Board could not adopt the new grievance procedure proposed by the State Board until after it had been formally approved. The School Board then voted unanimously to retain the existing grievance procedure minus binding arbitration. Before the vote, chairman Beverly Massie asked for comment from the other Board members with no response. After the vote, Bomberger questioned why the Board had left out binding arbitration. Mrs. Massie replied that she’d read information from the State Department of Education, talked with administrative personnel in other school divisions, read articles on binding arbitration in periodicals and newspapers and then for mulated her opinion on the basis of the data. Board member Alan Stokes answered that he’d reached his decision in the same manner as Mrs. Massie had. "No comment,” responded Board member Walter Masterson. Board members Arthlinda Quaintance and Paul Nichols declined to give their reasons for opposing binding arbitration. Teacher Reassignment In recommendations to the School Board for policy manual revisions, the Education Association had suggested that changes be made regarding teacher reassignment. Currently, the policy manual states that the Superintendent, with the approval of the School Board, may reassign any teacher provided reassignment doesn’t affect salary and provided that reports and explanations be given to the School Board, if requested. The Education Association proposed that if a teacher objected to reassignment, she or he would be allowed a conference with the administration. Should objections persist after the conference, then the teacher would accept the reassignment for a year with the understanding that she or he would have first consideration for assignment of choice the following year. The School Board electee to keep the reassignmen section of the policy manua as is. "It’s hard to promise i certain position a year aheae of time,” remarked Mrs Quaintance. "It’s hard to th yourself down when con ditions change yearly.” In the section on persona! (Continued on Page 4) Land Swap Stalled By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New Staff Writer Phillip Burton, chairman of the U. S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on National Parks and Insular Affairs, has called a halt—at least temporarily—to the proposed exchange of Shenandoah National Park land in Rappahannock for private property in Greene County. In a letter dated June 15 addressed to National Park Service Director Bill Whalen, Burton asked for written confirmation that further processing of the proposed exchange will be halted until the House Subcommittee has an opportunity to review and comment on the action contemplated. Previously, questions had been raised as to whether the exchange . violated both Virginia and Federal law. From Burton’s letter, it appears that additional regulations regarding Park boundary changes have been ignored. “In light of the fact that no notice has been transmitted to this Committee with respect to the proposed boundary change and land exchange at Shenandoah National Park, as required by law.’’ Burton wrote, “I believe that it would be highly inappropriate to proceed with any exchange until arrangements have been made to fully inform this Committee of the need for the exchange and the alternatives involved.'* State Law Controversy exists on whether the proposed swap is legal under state law. Section 7.1-22 of the Virignia Code was amended in 1975 to allow land to be taken out of the Park system without the property reverting immediately to ownership by the Commonwealth. The amendment was deleted from the 1976, 1977 and 1978 Code. Shenandoah National Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen insisted as late as two weeks ago that the omission was due to a typographical error and that the 1975 amendment allowing land exchanges was still in effect. (Delegate Andy Guest was chief patron of the 1975 amendment. Its sponsors included French Slaughter and current Attorney General Marshall Coleman.) According to the Office of Legislative Services in Richmond, the 1975 amendment was repealed by the passage of Senate Bill 247 during the 1976 session of the General Assembly. Hunter Andrews introduced the omnibus bill Wakefield Expands Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly began construction Monday of a new primary wing which will house the school’s PreSchool, Kindergarten, and Grades 1 and 2. The new facility will also include an assembly room for primary school use and a band room for general student use. The contractor for the construction is MONECS Corporation of Boston. According to school Administrator William Lynn, the new structure is necessitated by the school’s burgeoning enrollment, which will exceed two hundred next year in the primary grades through Grade 10. In addition to the new building, a second science laboratory for 7th and 8th grade use will be added in the main building, the library moved to a larger area, and office space extended. Plans also call for the conversion of a barn on school property to an art studio for student use. that included numerous other changes in law applicable to publicly owned lands. Andrews said he’d been requested by the Attorney General’s office to introduce Senate Bill 247 and guessed that he was asked because he represents a district with large public land holdings. Like the 1975 act that allowed Park land exchanges, Senate Bill 247 passed unanimously without amendment. George Beard, Rappahannock’s delegate to the General Assembly, agreed on Monday to ask the Attorney General for an opinion as to whether the 1975 amendment to the Virginia Code remains in effect. Federal Law In addition to apparent conflict with state law, it appears that the proposed transaction may also violate Federal law. The Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 was amended in 1977 to prohibit the Secretary of Interior from trading land in the national park system in exchange for private property. However, it has not been verified as to whether the amendment applies to the proposed equal value exchange of 442 acres in Greene County for 405 acres of Shenandoah National Park in Rappahannock and Warren Counties. According to Superintendent Jacobsen, Park authorities are currently considering two other and exchanges besides the transaction that affects Rappahannock County. Five additional trades have already been finalized. Outright Purchase Under “unusual circumstances", Jacobsen said, the Park may buy property outright. He acknowledged that a 200-acre tract — formerly the Snead (Continued on Page 4) Nichols To Visit Finland Curtis Nichols will leave Thursday, July 6, as the representative of Rappahnnock County in the Lions International Youth Exchange program. Curtis was the winner of a $400 scholarship awarded by the local Lions club to be applied to the cost of his transportation to Europe. He will spend five weeks as the summer house guest of a Lions Club host family in Finland. The entire group of Virginia exchange youth will fly first to Paris, for a twoday, two-night tour of the French capital. From there, they will travel by train to their individual destinations.

An Eagle Scout and member of the National Honor Society, Curtis graduated third in the class of 1978 from Rappahannock County High School, with a 3.8 academic average. He enjoys swimming, and any form of athletics, and plays the fiddle, specializing in Blue Grass music. After returning from Finland, Curtis will enter Virginia Military Institute to major in civil engineering. Chester Gap Carnival Opens $4.20 Tax Rate Set Chester Gap firemen opened their annual fund raising carnival last night, Wednesday, and it will continue through Saturday night. Food, games, prizes, rides, concession and amusements will be featured each evening. A fire department spokesman said all rides at the carnival will be 25 cents and he extended a cordial invitation to the public to attend and support the Chester Gap Fire Department. In a special meeting held at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, the Rappahannock Supervisors voted to set the tax rate on real estate, personal property, machinery and tools, merchants’ capital and public service corporations at $4.20 per $100 of assessed value. The Board adopted the county budget of $2,247,0% as advertized. In addition to the 20 cent raise in property tax, the Supervisors also amended the utility ordinance to allow a tax of 20 per cent on the first $15 of phone and electrical bills—a jump from the five per cent tax levied on the first $30 last year. After adopting the budget and setting tax rates, the Supervisors went into executive session to discuss “pending litigation" with Commonwealth Attorney George Davis and all of the members of the county Planning Commission. Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke indicated no action was taken during the closed meeting that lasted almost an hour. —fUppa^aanock Ntwi PHuto/T) McCullough WILLIAM E. LYNN, JR.

Qoy. wmmmmmmmm REALTOR TVKKOVKR NOT \l TOM \TIC When buying an existing home, taking over a mortgage can be practical and profitable. But be cautious. Don’t lake for granted that assigning the mortgage to another is automatic. The lender has a stake in who's going to repay him. Many mortgages are written which specifically prohibit this practice without the consent of the mortgage lender. The teeth will be found in an inserted acceleration clause which makes the whole balance due u and payable upon sale. The bank can activate or waive this clause depending on the credit rating of the buyer, maintenance of the property or spread beiween original and current interest rates. If the interest spread is great - don't count on a takeover mortgage. Before you advertise “low int. mort. takeover", and set yourself up for a letdown, why not have us check your mortgage and advise you.

If events at last week’s special budget meeting are any indication, the Rappahannock Supervisors are contemplating intervention into the proposed exchange of Shenandoah National Park land in Rappahannock for private property in Greene County. Either that or the Supervisors held an illegal executive session. The latter alternative seems most probable. At the close of the June 19 budget hearing. Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke announced that he wanted to go into executive session ‘‘to receive something from Carson Johnson.’’ When asked for the section of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act under which the closed meeting was authorized, Luke replied “acquisition of property and pending litigation.’’ Later, following adjournment, the Supervisor Chairman reported that the Board had passed a resolution calling on Park authorities to hold a public hearing on the proposed land swap. Where does “acquisition of property and pending litigation’’ fit in to a public hearing request? Are the Supervisors thinking about bringing some sort of action against the Park to prevent the exchange from going through? Or are they thinking about trying to acquire the county land involved in the deal themselves as public property? Reportedly, Carson Johnson presented the Board with a petition of 74 names requesting that plans to trade Rappahannock Park land be abandoned. Since when has receiving a petition been legal grounds for holding as executive session? Section 2.1-344 of the Virginia Code sets forth specific conditions under which a governing body may retire into executive session. “Discussion or consideration of the condition, acquisition or use of real property for public purpose, or of the disposition of publicly held property” is an allowable purpose for closed meeting. However, since the public property in this instance belongs to the Federal government and since the Rappahannock Supervisors have no say-so in its dispersal, the qualification hardly seems to apply. In fact, the Park Service considered the Supervisors so un involved in the proposed land trade that they weren’t even notified of the transaction. Only the county Planning Commission received advance warning of the deal. Section 2.1-344 also states that executive sessions may be held for “consultation with legal counsel and briefings by staff members, consultants or attorneys, pertaining to actual or potential litigation, or other legal matters within the jurisdiction of the public body.” The land trade doesn’t fall under the control of the Rappahannock Supervisors. In addition, there was no legal counsel, consultant, attorney or staff member present for the executive session. It’s not what the Supervisors did that’s disturbing. It’s how they did it. After four years of behind-the-scenes negotiations, it’s about time that somebody held a public hearing on the land exchange. But why talk about a hearing behind closed doors? And why didn’t the Board publicly acknowledge receipt of a petition carrying close to one hundred names from families that have lived in Rappahannock for generations? Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act promises government in the sunshine of public scrutiny. Now that light has been thrown on the proposed land swap, it’s not in the peoples' best interest for the Rappahannock Supervisors to tum the switch back off. More Sewage Problems? High School Needs Discharge Permit The Rappahannock School Board may soon be faced with another sewage disposal dilemma—this time at the high school. Superintendent William Bloomer reported at the June meeting that the Slate Water Control Board (SWCB) had requested an eight-page questionnaire be filled out on the high school's sand filter treatment prior to issuance of a discharge permit Although Bloomer said there were no problems that the administration was aware of. he noted that the SWCB had wide latitude in setting the effluent standards that the sewage treatment operation must meet. Bloomer told the Board that the SWCB had asked 'hat the questionnaire be eturned by June 10. It was in possible for this deadline be met. he said, because of extra work involved in school closing. He added that most of his answers would have to be guesstimates" since the questionnaire included queries on technical matters—for instance, how many gallons flow through the system per day? After the questionnaire is returned to the SWCB, personnel from that office will make a site inspection before determining the standards for biological oxygen demand and suspended solids that the sand filter treatment must meet. Unlike the lagoon system at the elementary school, effluent must be released daily at the high school plant. "This may mean daily testing." warned Dr. Bloomer. Since the high school sand filter system has never been issued a discharge permit. Bloomer explained later, standards "can be set at any limits that the SWCB sees fit " If the limits on suspended solids and biological oxygen demand are established at the same level as for the elementary school lagoon. Bloomer foresaw no difficulties. He added that the School Board could challenge effluent standards for the high school if it felt that limits had been set too high. Lagoon Over Limits Bloomer informed the School Board that suspended solid levels at the elementary sewage lagoon remained over the temporary discharge permit limits but within the standards set for the system when it was constructed. (Problems with the sewage treatment lagoon began during the winter of 19761977. A deep freeze and subsequent turn over in the lagoon raised BOD and suspended solids levels above the maximum allowed by the SWCB. The system was shut down and discharge into the stream stopped. When new. I«»wer SWCB regulations on BOD and suspended solids went into effect in June, 1977. the lagoon system dropped even further below standards and the school's discharge permit expired. The SWCB offered two alternatives: either sign a consent order agreeing to upgrade the lagoon systeih and in the meantime, comply with special interim standards or face legal action. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis came up with a third alternative. Davis contended that the SWCB should supply funds for upgrading the treatment lagoon since it was constructed to meet SWCB standards. As long as the lagoon continues to operate within the limits established when the original permit was issued, the School Board should not be responsible for the costs of improvements, according to Davis. The SWCB apparently agreed with this position since no further action has been taken to force the School Board to comply with the new effluent standards for BOD and suspended solids.) Currently, BOD levels at the lagoon are well within both the temporary and original standards set by the SWCB, according to information presented by Dr. Bloomer at the June School Board meeting. However, the level for suspended solids is almost double the temporary limit and close to the maximum allowed under the lagoon's original discharge permit. It was the consensus of the Board to follow the advice of Rappahannock's Commonwealth Attorney and maintain that the lagoon system was still operating within the legal limits set by the SWCB when the original discharge permit was issued. The School Board members indicated that they would continue to wait for the SWCB to make the next move. Teachers Commended Rappahannock kindergarten teachers Beth DcBergh and Carolyn Stein received letters of appreciation from the State Supervisor of Kindergarten for their contributions to the Kindergarten Conference held this spring in Roanoke. Noting the many hours of work that the two women gave in preparing and presenting their educational displays, Mrs. Grey Ritchie commended Mrs. DcBergh and Mrs. Stein for making “a real contribution to education in Virginia.” Our Rappahannock Heritage Certification Date Extended Because of abnormal weather conditions the final date for certifying crop acreage has been extended from June 30 to July 14, 1978. Producers who are growing corn, wheat, barley, grain sorghum, rye, oats or soybeans are urged to report their planted acreage by July 14. 1978. This report requires a field by field identification of planted acreage and must be made at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. Failure to report planted crop acreage may affect participation in 1978 and future years programs. I Producers growing only pasture and hay are not required to file an acreage report. Letter To The Editor Alternatives To the editor: It appears that the Administration of Shenandoah National Park neglected to notify, in writing as required by law, both the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources concerning the proposed land exchange and boundary change. It now seems, as nearly as we can establish the facts, that the proposed transfer of Park lands into the hands of private individuals violates both State and Federal law. Aside from legal questions we are against any attempt by the Park Administration to expropriate any part of the land with which it has been entrusted as part of the National Park System. It appears to us also that it is now time to consider other alternatives for the Park to acquire the land in Greene County which they wish, and for which we assume that they have a legitimate riefedfr without giving up any presently held Park land. If Saddleback Associates is indeed a willing seller for the best interests of the Park, as we have been encouraged to believe, there are such alternative possibilities. One way for a National Park to acquire land is by Congressional action. An appeal by the Park administration to the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs or the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources could result, we are told, in inclusion of a direct purchase in an omnibus bill. Park Visits Down During May of this year 180,600 travelers visited Shenandoah National Park, according to statistics released by Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. Compared to May 1977 which saw 367,300 visitors at the Park, the decrease is 50.8 percent. Part of the reported decrease may be attributed to new procedures for counting travel. As of January 1, 1978, a new multiplier (2.8 rather than 3.5) is being used for converting vehicles to visitors, and travel on only three secondary roads is being counted. As measured at Big Meadows, the high temperature for May was 76 degrees and the low was 27 degrees. Precipitation totaled 7.59 inches. Alternatively, there are private organizations, including The Nature Conservancy, which make a practice of acquiring endangered lands for their protection and eventual transfer to the National Park System. The quasigovernmental organization, the National Parks Foundation, uses its money for the same purpose. We would encourage the Administration of Shenandoah National Park, and the National Park Service generally, to abandon the idea of equal value land exchange entirely, and to start considering seriously some other alternatives, including those presented above. We have been impressed by the strength of the interest and support of people in Rappahannock County for maintaining the integrity of the Park, created over 40 years ago out of the homes and holdings of earlier mountain families. As supporters of the National Park System, we believe that the Park needs to move now to gain the continuing support of the people by establishing that they take seriously their sacred trust and responsibility to future generations who will ase the Park. A. STANLEY THOMPSON BARBARA S. THOMPSON Sperryville + +++ He who gives us better homes, better books, better tools, a fairer outlook and a wiser hope—him will we crown with laurel. —Emerson Land Swap (Continued from Page 1) property—was purchased in 1962 under legislation passed in August, 1946. According to this act, Jacobsen said, the Park is authorized to purchase lands and rights-of-way for the use and protection of water rights. The acreage bought in 1962 is near the visitors center at Dickey Ridge. “It was the only way we could find water on top of that ridge," said Jacobsen, adding that the nearest spring line was over one mile away. "That was the last and only time the Park purchased property outright,” he noted. In every other case of land purchase during the depression years, said Jacobsen, federal funds channeled through the Virginia State Commission on Conservation and Development were used. Two weeks ago. Superintendent Jacobsen authorized a 30-day extension to July 25 in the time allotted for public review of the land transfer’s environmental assessment statement. Petitions circulating *abound Rappahannock County call for action ranging from a 90-day extension to abandonment of plans for the exchange. At last week’s special budget session, the Supervisors voted in executive session to request that the Park authorities hold a public hearing on the land trade. In an answer addressed to Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, Jacobsen said he would be pleased to arrange for such a hearing but added that he felt it would be “counterproductive prior to a thorough exploration of several legal issues" raised regarding the proposed swap. Jacobsen wrote that he would contact the RajjK^ pahannock Board as soon as he received answers to legal questions. He noted that he was in complete agreement on the necessity of allowing “adequate opportunity for expression” from all concerned parties involved in the land trade. Jacobsen added that he would further extend the review period past July 25 should the situation warrant. Equal Value Exchange? Opponents of the land swap have questioned whether the transaction is in fact an "equal value exchange.” In 1974, Saddleback Corporation purchased 570 acres—including the 442 proposed to be traded for Park land—for S67.500 at six percent interest, payable in quarterly installments. The cost breaks down to SI 18.42 per acre. In addition, the property was cut approximately 18 years ago and no usable timber remains. Those familiar with the 312 acres of Park land in Rappahannock estimate its timber value at close to S200.000. (This figure has not been verified by a consulting forester. Regulations prevent the Virginia Division of Forestry personnel from attaching a dollar value to timber—whether on public or private property.)

Binding Arbitration i (Continued from Page 1) leave policy, the Board decided to keep the number of days alloted at two instead of granting the Education Association’s request for an increase to three days. Bloomer reported that only a small percentage of teachers take the two days per year currently allotted for personal leave. “I don’t know of anyone this year who had a hardship case (such as death in the family) where two days weren’t sufficient,” he said. The Board granted another Education Association request relating to leave policy by striking the requirement that teachers state the reason tor personal leave. Payment for unused sick leave at retirement was increased from SS to S10 per day—SIS short of the raise asked for by the Association. Mrs. Quaintance described the requested increase from SS to S20 per day as “too big a jump." In other action on policy handbook revisions, the Board members indicated that they would work towards notification of teachers on contract renewal by April IS. The Board also agreed to review salary supplements awarded for advanced degrees during next year’s budget process. ™G™E GROUP THAT HI*ED °vent°p Sunday are Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Thompson.

Historic Toll House Houses Real Estate Office The old Toll House on the highway between Spertyville and Washington has seen 125 years of change in Rappahannock. During its history, the little structure v has known many different owners and been used for everything from antique sales to a resident to business offices. A review of Toll House history reads like a page taken from "Who’s Who in Rappahannock” with familiar county names popping up every few lines. The building has recently become a real estate office for W. H. (Bill) Lyne. It is currently owned by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nordone who bought the property in 1971 through Ray T. Cannon Company from Gibson Wharton. At that time, Lyne was associated with Cannon’s office. Neither the new owners nor Lyne had any inkling then that they would become partners in real estate seven years later. After redecorating and making other improvements, the Nordones used the Toll House for an antique business. In their restoration i ne funniest truckin ’ you ever seeny •THE IT 'J* P; GREAT SMOKEY* ROADBLOCK" B __Mt645}| OPENS 7:00'SHOW 7 30 TRIPLE TRIP With TTie School girls *• Student „ „ Teecher” •> ^ “SummerSchool V Teacher” * “Scfwolfllrt Bride” work, the Nordones preserved the quaintness of the original structure. They were careful not to change the placement of the upstairs windows, uniquely situated so that the keeper of the Toll House (called an "undertaker”) could look up and down the turnpike to observe the approach of customers. In 1954, Garence Fincham willed th: Toll House to Gibson and Billy T. Wharton. (Billy later sold out to his brother.) The Whartons added additional rooms and rented the property to several different families. Clarence Fincham, on October 1, 1952, bought the Toll House from Jon Dumond. Dumond operated a taxi in D. C., commuting daily between the two Washingtons. During the same year (July, 1952), Mrs. Dumond sold the property to Ms. Bon Taylor who used the building as a residence. Ms. Taylor sold the Toll House on February 23 to Mrs. B. M. (Virginia) Miller, now Mrs. Rex Lindstrom. Mrs. Miller ran an antique business there for two years (1950*1952), assisted by Mrs. Frances Eubank. According to Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Eubank’s beauty made her a great attraction. r rum iu 17JU, me loll House property changed hands between C. W. Keyser, Mahlon Ramey and J. W. Ramey. W. C. Campbell owned the property from 1921 to 1934. It was then part of a farm that included the Hampton Inn, the Washington Packing House, the Gibson Wharton house and farm, the Gark House and George Rosenbaum’s house and orchard. W. C. (Curtis) Campbell bought the Toll House from a John A. Browning in 1921. During the period of 18971921, the property was owned by several parties including D. B. Folty of Rockbridge County. H. C. Risk, A. W. Dearing and John A. Dearing. 1 LEVY'S M Is proud to announce thoy now offer o com plot* lino of boauHful Wedding Stationery by McPhersons INVITATIONS ANNOUNCEMENTS NAPKINS BRIDAL BOOKS ACCESSORIES Sm it today I According to C. J. Miller of Washington, the Toll House was used by the county to collect highway tolls during the construction of U. S. Route 522 from Chester Gap to Sperryville. Work was started at the top of the mountain near Front Royal towards Flint Hill in 19121913. From there, it progressed to M assies Corner, to Washington and on to Sperryville about 1916. During this period, there were several buildings at intervals of approximately six miles along the road that were used as toll houses. But the old Toll House down from the Hampton Inn is the only existing structure that was erected much earlier for the purpose of collecting tolls. ■ According to Miller, the toll for cars was 25 cents per ticket or about $1 for a block of five tickets. C. E. (Ned) Johnson, who always has a juicy recollection to add color to any tale, remembers passing the Toll House in 1916 in a small wagon. He was going to meet his brother who had sold a horse, ridden the animal to its new owners and was heading back to Sperryville on foot, carrying the saddle. Ned reports he was charged six cents for horse, wagon and driver. He paid the toll to go meet his brother who was in sight of the Toll House. After picking up his brother, Ned turned the wagon around and headed back but had to pay a second toll upon his return trip past the toll House. His father's reprimand for squandering so much money in so short a distance could have influenced Ned’s developing into the frugal business man that he is today. Between 1888 and 1897, 390 acres, including the Toll House, were sold back and forth between John A. Browning and Eastham Dearing. Deed book R, Page 288 in the Rappahannock Clerk’s office in Washington states that “John A. Browning of the first part sold to Eastham Dearing of the second part 390 acres, one rod and 36 poles, saving and reserving two acres, one rod, five poles the quantity of land contained within the boundaries condemned for the Sperryville and Rappahannock Turnpike Company. Also the one-half acre upon which the toll House of said company stands was conveyed by French Strother and Mary A., his wife, to the said John A. Browning by deed in September 1856 and recorded in deed book R, page 17.” This deed book refers to the Toll House occupied by John Jenkins as being the property of the SperryvilleRappahannock Turnpike Company. The company procured the land “upon which Toll House No. 1 has been erected (about ‘/i acre)” from French Strother and his wife Mary A. Browning on July 18, 1853. It’s rather odd th&t since the beginning and throughout its 125 year history, the Toll House lot has stayed Vi acre in size. There are other points of historical interest connected with the Toll House and its owners: — The SperryvilleRappahannock Turnpike was 40 feet wide and apparently extended from Sperryville to Waterloo (Historic Roads of Virginia 1607-1840 by Nathaniel Mason Pawlett). —French Strother and Mary Ann Browning were married on November 18, 1813 (Marriages in Culpeper County by Knorr). —Capt. French Strother of Rappahannock was the son of James Strother who died in 1761. James French Strother, judge of Rappahannock County and the son of James French III, married Miss Mary Botts—the grandmother of Mary Botts Miller. —According to deed book H, the SperyvilleRappahannock Turnpike Company came into existence about 1850. The company condemned a right-of-way on October 21 through French Strother’s that consisted of the road plus 20 feet on either side. Strother received the sum of $40 for the transaction. —French Strother was sheriff of Rappahannock from 1839 to 1842.

Amissville Carnival Prize Winners Named Amissvite firemen completed a fund raising carnival last Saturday. In closing, various awards and prizes were distributed, in addition to prizes given for the Thursday parade entries. John Hitt, Jr. of Amissville was awarded the grand prize of a thousand dollars and Fred Cooke of Viewtown received the $500 prize. $25 Savings Bonds went to H. C. Clayton and to Miss Garland Riley, both of Amissville; and to Eddie Wayland of Washington and Thomas Yates of Warrenton. Jinny Pierson was awarded the hundred dollar cash prize and J. R. Latham was given the fifty silver dollars. In parade competition the senior majorette group in first place was Clarke County and Clarke County also placed first in the junior division and the tiny tots category. Second in the latter two groups were the Nicholettes. Solo awards were given to Dana Louise Keefer, first and to Ginger Lee Reefer, second. Kim Gilkey of Chester Gap was selected as best honorary fire chief. Warrenton was named best appearing fire apparatus in town over 500 population and Marshall placed second. Flint Hill ranked first in the town under 500 while Chester Gap was second. Warrenton was also named the best appearing fire company and men. Apparatus coming the longest distance was Orange while the oldest equipment was from Washington. Best appearing and equipped rescue units were Warrenton and Flint Hill, in that order. American Legion Post 53 of Front Royal was judged best civic float and the best commercial entry was the Tip Top Chimney Sweep. Cub Scout Pack 50 of Amissville was judged best marching unit; Falls Church, the best ladies auxiliary and Arthur Brown awarded for best antique vehicle. Front Royal had the best brush truck. Medicare Premiums Up Starting with July 1978, the basic premium for the medical insurance part of Medicare will increase to S8.20 a month, up from the S7.70 it has been since July 1977, Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said today. People who pay the premium directly will notice the increase in their bills. But, Hundley said, people who have the premium deducted from their social security check probably will not notice the increase because of the much larger increase in their social security checks as a result of the cost of living increase that goes into effect with July checks. Some people pay a higher amount than the basic premium. This is because there was a period of 12 months or more that they were eligible for medical insurance but were not —Rappahannock News Photo Courtesy of Kit Whitney IT’S GARDENING TIME AGAIN and children in Sursum Corda’s summer program have been busy turning little fingers into green thumbs. Noah Waggener, Jonah Waggener, Amy Stockton, Kyle Thompson, Adam Beroza, Sharon Boddie, Alice Reeve and Tasha Whitney spent long hours converting a rock pile overgrown with honeysuckle into a fertile plot that produces fresh vegetables. enrolled for this protection. The increase in the basic premium amounts to 10 per cent for each such 12-month period. Even with this slight increase, medical insurance represents a real buy, Hundley said. This is because the people pay only about 30 per cent of the cost while the Federal government pays the remaining 70 per cent from general revenues. The basic premium will remain $8.20 a month through June 1979. Those interested can get more information about Medicare and about social security retirement, survivor and disability benefits at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center.
