According to the report of the Auditor of Public Accounts of the Commonwealth of Virginia on Comparative Cost of County Government for the year ended June 30, 1977, the Supervisors are correct. Out of 95 Virginia counties, Rappahannock ranks near the bottom in per capita expenditures for just about everything. The county also funds a higher than average percentage of total costs with local revenue. Ti>tal revenue for the year ended June 30, 1977 was SI,754,162. Expenditures were $1,687,635 for a breakdown of S306.84 per capital. Only two counties—Bland and Montgomery—spent less. For 1977, Rappahannock had $2,021,094 available to spend. Three coun ties—Bland, Highland and Craig—had less. Out of incoming revenue, 13.76 per cent was from federal sources, 42.47 per cent from the state and 43.77 per cent from local sources. Only 29 counties in the Commonwealth raised a higher percentage of revenue locally. For the fiscal year that ended June 30, 1977, property taxes in Rappahannock resulted in $539,781 in revenue. Three counties—Bland, Craig and Highland—raised less. By comparison, property tax levies generated $1,161,200 in Clarke County; $3,027,042 in Culpeper; $560,186 in Greene; $840,376 in Madison; $2,132,971 in Orange and $1,805,589 in Warren. Six counties raised less than Rappahannock’s $53,170 local sales tax receipts. Three counties—Bland, Craig and Highland—had less total revenue from local sources than Rappahannock with $767,793. School Coats In total per capita costs o schools, Rappahannock ranked fifth from the bottom out of 95 Virginia Counties. Total per capita costs for education here amounted to $224.26. This compares to the state average of $359.13. AH neighboring counties ranked higher—Culpeper with $407.28, Fauquier with $333.66, Madison with $292.07, Orange with $297.54 and Warren with $389.57. In per capita costs for school administration, Rappahannock paid $8.66 with 21 counties paying more. Only 14 counties paid a higher per capita cost that Rappahannock’s $24.88 for pupil transportation. However, in the category of per capita costs for instruction, the county paid $145.68, ranking 87th out of 95 jurisdictions. —Rappahannock New* Photo/D.

County Extension agent Rap Owings plans to travel across the mountain to Warren County and pick up armies of Rhinocyllus conicus, a thistle weevil that feeds only on the plant pest, for release here. Suburbanites driving through rural areas oooh and aaah over the delicate purple flowers that have sprung up in fields and along road sides. Farmers see the tall prickly stalks and shudder. Valuable pasture is lost whenever thistles occur. According to VPI extension specialists, one thistle plant to 16 square feet reduces pasture yields an average of 23 percent or 470 pounds of dry forage per acre. Thistles now inhabit at least 40 Western Virginia Counties and are continuing to spread. A problem for years in neighboring Warren County, thistles are becoming a significant threat to pastures and hay fields in Rappahannock. Owings reported that he’d previously introduced weevils at five different locations around the county. “They’ve established themselves in two spots definitely,” he added. Thistles are not native to North America but were brought from Europe in the latter part of the eighteenth century. With no natural predators, the population increased rapidly. Standard control is with spray application of 2, 4-D, a contact herbicide. However, Owings noted that its effectiveness is limited if the 2, Johnston Mason Of Year On June 28, 1978, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Robert Rhandle Kennedy, Jr., made his official visit to the Fourth Masonic District. At this time the Grand Master honored Mr. Thomas Morgan Johnston of Washington Lodge No. 78, A.F. &. A.M. of Washington, in presenting him with the Award of Mason of the Year from the Fourth Masonic District. Mr. Johnston has been a member of Washington Lodge No. 78 since 1938 and was selected for this award because of his interest, support and dedication to the Masonic * principles during his forty years of membership. Mr. Johnston is a resident of Sperryville. 4-D, is not used properly. To achieve maximum results, the herbicide should be applied in April before the plants are noticeable. But ‘‘out of sight, out of mind” applies to farm problems just as it does to problems encountered in other walks of life. Frequently, said Owings, farmers don't apply 2, 4-D until they notice center stalks of thistles springing up in the Helds. More herbicide is required to combat the plant pest at this stage plus the thistles still go to seed, according to Owings. He also noted that 2. 4-D is an expensive weapon to use against thistle infestation, particularly since it doesn't establish permanent control. Owings said that thistles could be eliminated by a single spraying only to have the seeds left in the soil germinate four or five years later. In addition, 2, 4-D application destroys clover while drift from the spray may harm crops or fruit trees in adjacent fields. As an alternative to herbicides, the thistle head weevil, natural predator of the thistle, was imported from France following exhaustive government study of the tiny insect. The weevil was kept in quarantine for ten years and offered a wide variety of plants to eat before investigators were satisfied that it was “host specific" and would devour nothing but thistles. Weevils aren’t an overnight success. According to extension specialists, it takes four to five years before the insects have a significant impact on thistle population. As part of a pilot project, 500 weevils were released on 50 acres heavily infested with thistles in Warren County in 1969. Extension agent Gary DeOnis reported that nothing much happened until 1973 but added that three years later, it was hard to find over a couple of hundred thistles on the entire 50-acre tract. Adult weevils hibernate from late August until early May. when the thistle starts forming a flower head. The female lays 150 to 200 eggs protected by a mud daub covering on the underside of the plant. The eggs hatch as larva in early June and burrow into the center of the thistle, feeding on seed tips. Once the tips are eaten, the seeds can't germinate and the plant dies without spreading. Weevils will never eat all the thistles in Rappahannock County. Stability, not complete eradication, is the goal of the biological control program. Once the weevils are established, the incidence of thistles will decrease while the weevil population grows until there are only a few pockets of thistles left. Then the number of weevils will decrease in response to the limited food supply. According to Extension specialists, weevils have met with the greatest success to date in Pulaski County, where a 95 percent control of thistle growth was achieved on a thousand-acre project. Besides the little muddaubed eggs on the underside of thistle flowers, weevils leave other tell-tale signs of infestation. As the flower begins to dry, the center portion that goes to seed developes a tuft or protrusion that extends beyond the rest T. MORGAN JOHNSTON of Sperryville was named Mason of the Year recently from the Fourth District. of the flower head. Once the weevil population increases to where activity is noticeable, flower heads with their weevil passengers can be transported to other sights. Extension specialists have great hopes for the unaided spread of the weevil. According to entomologist Dr. L. T,~- Kok, weevils—which can fly— have been found 20 miles away from release sights. In Warren, the weevil has spread across the Shenandoah River under its own power. In addition to the thistle head weevil, extension specialists are experimenting with releases of a second type imported from Italy. The new weevil feeds on the growing tip of the thistle and kills plants before flower heads are ever formed. However, Rap Owings noted that introduction of the Italian weevil had met with little success, judging from the failure of the insect to establish itself permanently at release sights. "In the long run,” said Owings, “weevils should help with thistle control but they’re not the entire answer." According to Rappahannock's extension agent, there are fields in the county that are too severely infested with thistles to wait the four or five years necessary for biological control. These fields, he said, should be sprayed immediately. Owings also emphasized that there was no point in a landowner getting weevils unless he had fields where thistles would bloom the following year. “Otherwise, they’ll have nothing to eat,” he said. In addition, the introduction of the thistle's natural predators is a waste of time if landowners are not patient enough to wait four to five years for the weevils to gain the upper hand. Jumping the gun and spraying with 2, 4-D will kill not only the thistles but also the thistle weevils. Persons interested in releasing weevils on thistle infested fields may call the Extension office at 675-3619 to place orders for the insects with pick-up scheduled for Tuesday, July 11, during office hours.

According to Jacobsen, the decision to abandon plans for the land transfer came as a result of “strongly held and eloquently expressed feelings" against the swap. Public opinion in Rappahannock, he said, was overwhelmingly in favor of perpetually retaining in public ownership and natural condition all portions of the bounty acquired for National Park purposes. He noted that an environmental assessment of the proposed land exchange was circulated for public review and comment in late May. Subsequently, Jacobsen said, "solid public consenus” surfaced against the use of equal value land exchanges for solving the Park’s boundary problems. "It was heartwarming indeed—even though counterproductive in our efforts to acquire a very valuable tract of privately owned land on Saddleback Mountain in Greene County—to hear so many arguments from so many of our Park neighbors in favor of retaining nearby and adjacent National Park lands,” said the Superintendent. Jacobsen added that “alternative methods for solving various problems caused by the Park's inadequate land base will be explored and proposed by a general management planning team during this coming year. As in this proposed land exchange, public review and comment will be welcomed and thoroughly considered," he concluded. Jacobsen's announcement came on the heels of a flood of opposition to the proposed land trade, illustrated by petitions that have circulated around the county. Remembrances F. D. Coffey. Jr., of Sperryville collected 75 names on a petition calling (Continued on Page 4) Recruitment Problems Persist For the Rappahannock School Board, it’s been “two steps forward and one step back” in efforts to fill teaching vacancies at the elementary and high school. At last Wednesday’s Board meeting, Superintendent William Bloomer reported that the social studies instructor approved for employment just one week ago had returned her contract unsigned. In addition, ' Bloomer informed the Board that high school teacher Karl Studt had resigned. After a two-hour executive session, the Board announced that teachers had been hired for social studies, high school business and two fifth grade classes. A guidance counselor-teacher for the high school was also approved. However, he turned in his resignation the following day. As of Friday afternoon, seven teaching positions and the job of assistant superintendent remained vacant, according to Dr. Bloomer. Jobs are open for learning disabilities resource person, child development specialist and kindergarten teacher at the elementary level. Bloomer said he had two possibilities for the LD slot and one inquiry on the opening for a child development specialist. “I think we can fill the kindergarten position without any difficulty,” he added. However, the situation at Ihe high school "f* "Inore serious. Bloomer reported that he had no applicants for vacancies in mathematics, reading, guidance-teacher or math-science. He noted that he’d personally contacted all Virginia colleges and universities in recruitment efforts with no success. For the position of assistant superintendent, Bloomer said that the School Board had narrowed the field to two for final screening. On Friday afternoon, the Superintendent and all five School Board members interviewed applicants in the elementary school offices. Judge Requests Recommendations Judge Kayner V. Snead will be in his office in the courthouse on Monday to talk with interested citizens on the appointment of the three member School Trustee Electoral Board. The terms of the current Trustees—George Muth, John S. Browning and C. E. Johnson—expire this month. The Trustees are appointed by Judge Snead for four year terms and have the authority to appoint School Board members. Orchard Tour Set For July 12 On Wednesday, July 12, the VP1 Extension Service will sponsor an educational tour for fruit growers beginning in the peach orchard of Henry Chiles at Crozet and then moving on to the Steeles Tavern Research Station for lunch and an afternoon tour of the Research Facilities for both livestock and fruit.

When James Hughes marked his achievement ol 89 years of life last Friday, June 16, relatives gathered to celebrate not just an 89 birthday, but those 88 birthdays which proceeded it, al what one family member said was to be Hughes "first real birthday.” Born in Gid Brown Hollow, the son of Robert and Lizzie Hughes, "Uncle Jimmie,” as Hughes is referred to by friends and family alike, has lived in Rappahannock most of his life. Though living for times in Harrisburg, Pa. and parts of West Virginia, he’s never failed to return home—the place he says he wants to be most. He lives in the hollow still with Vivian Gatewood and her family, his home for the past 20 years. Coming from a large family during difficult times, Hughes’ childhood ended early. Leaving home at 10 to live with the Jim Racer family, he began his work in farming. When not doing farmwork, he worked with lime kilns until he finally retired just 15 years ago. Those days he recalls as particularly hard times he says, when a full day’s work might bring nothing more than 50 cents. Now he’s content “just to take it easy.” As a child, Uncle Jimmie remembers the short time he was able to attend school at what is now John Burke’s Baptist Church. One related incident comes vividly to his mind. Skipping school under the pretense of being sick was a ploy which Jim’s friends successfully practiced. Tempted himself, young Jim decided to give it a try. Pleased with the success of his first attempt, he decided to try again the next day, but the result this time was a little less than hoped for. A confrontation with his mother resulted in a few relays around the house and a final thrashing which left a lasting impression on Jim. Coming to the overwhelming conclusion that good certainly overpowers bad, he decided to reform his ways. Now when asked what advice he’d pass on to the young. Hughes answers simply, “Be good,” a premise he claims he’s tried to live by ever since. Other than his wife Mary who died in 1950, Hughes has three loves: checkers, horseshoe pitching and children. Though now unable to enjoy the first two, he pursues the latter eagerly and the many nieces and nephews with whom he lives reciprocate wholeheartedly. As he speaks, 2 year old William Henery Rector Jr. finds his way easily to his uncle’s lap where he looks very much at home. Pulling Sunset Vespers The Reverend James M. John, Pastor of Asbury United Methodist Church in Harrisonburg, Virginia will be the guest speaker of the Sunset Vesper Services on Sunday, July 9th at the Carillon in Luray at 8:30 p.m. A carillon recital by Charles Chapman will begin at 8 p.m. preceeding the services. In case of rain the services following the carillon recital will be held at Luray United Methodist Church, Main Street in Luray. \<wal Estate &/—n sJl. 9^ - MAITO* mm EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO SELL When listing your home with a Realtor to sell, there are a "variety of arrangements you can make. But if you are seriously intent on selling your home within a reasonable time and at the price you are asking, it would pay to consider making an “exclusive right to sell" agreement. This gives the Realtor the right to his commission if he actually sells your home during the listing period, or if another Realtor sells it, or if you sell it yourself. Under these conditions, the Realtor will have the added incentive and protection to go all-out in heavily advertising your house and showing it to prospects. He will not be afraid of bringing it to the attention of other Realtors who may have qualified prospects. As a rule. Realtors are willing to cooperate and share the single commission. That gives you the advantage of having several Realtors make a determined effort to sell your home.

We’re hare to help. the nat trom Hughes head, he puts it ami in a manner which seems to swallow his own. Suddenly there are two Uncle Jimmies smiling at each other. The line between age and youth seems to vanish and it’s hard, for a moment, to tell which is the younger. “The kids are crazy about him,” says Mrs. Gatewood who adds that Jim has helped raise all her children. Speaking with Jim Hughes, one is apt to be overwhelmed by the contentment he seems to radiate. A rare man, he seems to have succeeded in finding the key to satisfaction JIM HUGHES had plenty of help to celebrate his 89th birthday. Here, Hughes is surrounded by nieces and hephews at the Gatewood residence where he makes his home. in life. If happiness is any measure of success, then uncle Jim’s formula seems to have worked. Asked if there were something more he would like to accomplish in life, Jim thinks for a moment and thoughtfully replies “No, I’m as high as I feel like going." oeALERS Antique Show & Sale **4/ Every Sat. & Sun.

Mon. - Fff. ftiMiahed by Warrantee RifctSng 0 Publishing Company Inc 4 THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1978 Little Guy Can Win superintendent Robert Jacobsen announced on Monday that the Park is dropping all plans to trade four parcels of parkland in Rappahannock and Warren Counties for a tract of privately owned land in Greene County. It proves that the little guy can fight city hall—or in this case, federal beaurocracy—and win, at least once in a while. Opponents of the land exchange proposal, led by Stanley and Barbara Thompson and F. D. Coffey, mounted petition drives, contacted government representatives and most important, uncovered federal and state law that cast doubt on the legality of the Park’s proposal. Faced with overwhelming public sentiment against the land exchange, the Park backed off. But in abandoning consideration of the land trade. Park officials stopped short of acknowledging that their proposal was illegal both under the Virginia Code and under Public Law 95-42, amendments to the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965. Superintendent Jacobsen noted that legal questions existed in correspondence addressed to the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors. In his letter, Jacobsen agreed to hold a public hearing on the proposed land transfer but questioned whether such a hearing would proVe counterproductive if held before legal problems were resolved. However, in his announcement of the Park’s withdrawal of the land exchange proposal, Jacobsen didn’t mention any difficulties with the law. And at a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Rappahannock League for Envi ronmental Protection held last Thursday, Jacobsen insisted that neither federal nor state law prohibited the swap. For the victory to be complete, those who fought against the land exchange can’t withdraw yet. Although plans to trade Rappahannock parkland have been dropped, the chance that something like this could happen again still exists. Work now should center around efforts to have both federal and state law clarified. Rappahannock's representative in the General Assembly, Delegate George Beard, has asked Attorney General Marshall Coleman for a ruling on the legality of parkland swaps without title to Park property reverting back to the Commonwealth. Once Coleman gives his decision, the controversy over state law should be resolved. Getting an answer on the federal law may not be as simple. It appears that National Park Service plans for expansion hinge, in many cases, on land trades. If trades involving property already administered as part of the national park system are prohibited, it may throw a monkey wrench in the works. The Park Service may not want Public Law 95-42 clarified as a result. But even though it will take time, those concerned with the right of the Park to trade away land wrested from Rappahannock natives 45 years ago should keep steady pressure on Congressional representatives for an answer. Otherwise, this whole fight may have to be repeated again and again. — Rappahannock N«w» Photo /S Latham CINDY WILLIAMS WAS NAMED honorary Fire Chief at the Chester Gap carnival held last week. A coronation ceremony was held Friday evening at the carnival when she received her tiara from retiring chief, Kim Gilkey. Rhonda W illiams was runnerup in the contest. Competency Testing Areas Set vucMionb ranging irom how to multiply fractions to how to interpret a road ntap will be asked of Virginia s public school tenth graders next fall, and ninth graders the following spring, under a minimum competency testing program approved by the Slate Board of Education. Passing competency tests in mathematics and reading will be a requirement for giaduation in addition to the completion of 18 units of English, mathematics, history, science and other couises now required before a high school diploma is awarded. In adopting the program on June 23. the board postponed a decision on whether students who pass the competency tests in the ninth and tenth grades will be required to take similar tests in the twelfth grade. The board, in related actions, also agreed: —To permit school divisions that are already using other minimum competency tests in reading and mathematics to continue using them for the graduating classes of 1981 and 1982. Under the Standards of Quality adopted by the 1978 General Assembly, tests of mathematics and reading skills are required for high school graduation beginning with the 1981 class. —To make the graduation competency tests and scoring d services available tor purchase by private schools that want to use them for accreditation purposes. —To study and decide within the next several months the scores the students must achieve to pass the tests and the types and levels of diplomas to be awarded. Tenth graders are to be tested this fall because they will be the first graduating class affected by the General Assembly mandate that reading and mathematical skills be tested. The program approved by the Board of Education, will require ninth-graders to take the reading and mathematics tests each year. Those who fail the tests will be given remedial work . On the mathematics tests students will be required to read and write numerals correctly and to work with fractions and percentages, as well as to compute taxes, read a thermometer, make correct change in commercial transactions, and calculate net earnings. Tlte reading test will assess students’ ability to understand and draw conclusions from selected written materials as well as to locate information in a library, interpret a merchant’s bill, determine if a newspaper article presents fact or opinion, and follow directions listed on a product label. In a report presented to the board on June 22, an advisory committee recommended other competencies that include: Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing whole numbers, determining the mileage between two points on a road map, writing a check and filling in the necessary information on a check stub, determining the Sales tax on an item purchased at a store, and pinpointing information in a business agreement that relates to any agreement. Because the questions on the tests reflect what are believed to be minimum skills, the Board of Education noted that the tests: —Are not designed to measure all the academic skills an average twelfth grader should have achieved by June of the year of which he or she graduates. —Are not necessarily indicators of future academic success, but may be indicators of how well students can cope with everyday "life skills” such as balancing checkbooks and interpreting billing statements. The results of the tests given ninth and tenth graders during 1978-79 will provide information to determine whether curriculum changes might be needed to help students develop the skills measured by the tests, school officials explained.

Latham Celebration in Washington was Land Swap Dropped (Continued from Page 1) for a halt to the proposed exchange submitted to Park Service personnel and government representatives. John S. Dodson, one of the petitioners, once owned 38 of the acres proposed for the Park land trade. Between his grandfather and father, Dodson's family initially held over 300 acres that were absorbed into the Park. “They pushed us right out..,They didn't even pay for some of the land. They just took it,” recalling the blanket condemnation law that allowed Virginia to confiscate privately owned land for transfer to the federal government as a national park. Dodson reported that his father paid $555 for one tract of 54 acres. When the land was taken for the Park, "they allowed us $192.50—that’s what we got for 54 acres,” he said in an interview last week. For all 300 and some acres, his family received approximately $2,200 for property that included 200 acres right up next to the Skyline Drive, according to Dodson. "1 don’t like it,” Dodson said of the proposed land exchange. “If the Park doesn't want the land, they should give it back to us,” he maintained, adding that he could refund every bit of the purchase price paid to his father some 45 years ago. Magdaline Dwyer, who lives in Old Hollow, remembers that her father was paid just $650 for 99 acres with a log house where all eight of the Dwyer children were born. According to Mrs. Dwyer, people who were forced off of their property to make way for the Park often had to watch hopelessly while officials burned their homes down. “Some wanted to sell. Some didn’t. So they forced the little people out," she maintained. "A lot of people were dissatisfied. A lot of the old people grieved themselves to death...They didn't get enough to go buy land anywhere else. It was hard on the old people especially 'cause they took their homes," she said. Mrs. Dwyer’s name is also on the petition circulated by F. D. Coffey. “They’ve taken the land and now let them keep it,” she stated. Petitions drawn up by Barbara and Stanley Thompson, landowners with property adjacent to one of the Park land tracts in Rappahannock proposed to be traded, drew over 340 signatures calling for a 90 day delay and public hearings on the transaction Legal Questions In addition to raising questions on the morality of allowing lands acquired through condemnation to go back into private ownership, opponents of the land swap contended that the deal violated both state and federal law. Jacobsen’s announcement on the withdrawal of the exchange proposal did not address any of the questions raised although he acknowledged possible legal difficulties in a letter to the Rappahannock supervisors. In correspondence addressed to Jacobsen and National Park Service Direction William Whalen, Mark Raabe joined other opponents to the land trade in citing legal obstacles. Raabe, a Rappahannock land owner and counsel to the House Commerce Committee, quoted from section 5 of Public Law 95-42 which states that the Secretary of the Interior may revise national park system boundaries through acquisition by exchange of lands, waters or interests “except that in exercising his authority under thisclaused 1) the Secretary may not alienate property administered as part of the national park system in order to acquire lands by exchange. “It is surprising, to say the least, that officials administering the park lands would either disregard or be ignorant of a law, directly affecting them, which was passed just one year ago," wrote Raabe. He also noted that the Virginia Code, section 7.1-22, as amended by Chapter 211 of the 1976 Acts of the General Assembly, would negate the proposed exchange. Law Explained At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Rap pahannock League tor Environmental Protection held Thursday, June 29, Jacobsen claimed that the federal law cited by Raabe and others did not apply to parks that have been in existence for more than ten years. He further maintained that the proposed land exchange did not involve altering any boundaries because the maximum boundary authorized by Congress was far larger than the existing boundary. Thus the proposed land transfer, according to Jacobsen, would merely change the ownership of land within the authorized park boundary. Jacobsen acknowledged that he had initiated the 1975 amendment to the Virginia Code in which the Commonwealth gave up its right to reversion in case of equal value exchange. He explained that he’d pushed for the amendment that would allow park land to leave the system without reverting immediately to ownership by the state to avoid “a small shadow” on the titles of the lands which were being exchanged. Jacobsen stated that this 1975 amendment was removed from the Code in 1976 without his being consulted or notified. However, he insisted that the State of Virginia had no claim to any land relinquished by the Park, since deeds to the Park land had been transferred to the federal government 32 years before the applicable section of the Virginia Code was adopted. At Thursday’s Board of Directors meeting, RLEP unanimously approved a resolution categorically opposing the transfer of any mm national park land to private individuals. Accompanying this, the Directors pledged support for exploration of alternatives by the Park to solve critical boundary problems through means other than land exchange. Tlie Directors also resolved to support specific legislation to preclude any reversion of parkland into private hands in the future. Other groups besides RLEP have shown interest in preventing any similar land transactions from being completed without specific state and federal approval. At the state level. Delegate George Beard, Rappahannock’s representative in the General Assembly, has requested an Attorney General’s ruling on whether equal value exchanges are legal under Virginia law. As an effort to clarify federal law, T. Destry Jarvis from the National Parks and Conservation Association, has indicated that his organization will test in court any exchange of national park land for private land that the Park Service persists in completing.
