Warner of Atoka won certification Monday as the official winner of the election Nov. 7 for the US Senate. Warner said he accepted the results of the official canvass by the three-member State Board of Elections “with humility.” Democratic challenger Andrew Miller, former state attorney general, has not conceded and may ask for a vote recount since the winning margin is less than one-half of one per cent.. Should Miller call for a recount, and he is still the loser, he would have to pay for it at an estimated cost of $120,000. He must file by Dec. 7 for any new tabulation. The official canvass showed Warner with 613.232 votes and Miller with 608,511—a margin of 4721 votes of 1.22 million cast—making the general election the closest ever for a Virginia Senate seat. Warner got 50.2 per cent of the vote. Miller 49.8 per cent. There were 513 write-in votes. Miller's hopes for reversing the outcome would depend on finding errors through a recount of votes cast on approximately 4000 voting machines and some written ballots. i< The state election officials balanced precinct tally sheets against city and county totals compiled by local election officials, but did not order a general reexamination of totals recorded on voting machines. Mahan said that vote counts were rechecked in only five or six of the state's 1857 precincts during the official canvass. Those checks were made because of apparent errors in tally sheets compiled by precinct officials. Mahan' said only three errors were found—all in Miller’s favor—during the official tabulation, closing the gap between the two candidates by a mere 13 votes. Miller has mailed appeals to contributors asking for donations to help finance a recount.

Moore of the Virginia State Police who is assigned in Rappahannock County, has undergone twelve weeks of intensive training in obedience, attack and control before being released to the department’s Second Division. Max Joins State Police Here Max, a German shepherd trained in Richmond by the Virginia State Police Department, has been assigned to Trooper C. A. Moore of Rappahannock, who also underwent the rigid handler's training course of twelve weeks. Max is one of 12 dogs in the state, two in each of the six divisions, which have received training for tracking, attack and obedience. “He is a one-man dog,” says Moore, “trained for my command and protection, as well." The canine men like Moore have their regular shifts for patrol until they are needed elsewhere, and may be called to any part of the state. Last year the dogs performed on 148 missions resulting in % felony arrests and 36 misdemeanor arrests. The animals are used primarily for tracking criminal suspects. lost children or missing persons. After the dog and master receive their twelve weeks of schooling, they must return to the Richmond training center two days each month for an update on procedures. Use of the dogs is available to all law enforcement departments. Attack training is stressed for use in riots situations in penitentiaries and crowd control in demonstrations or any situation demanding the need. Interne obedience training eight hours a day for several weeks was included in the training and extensive workouts on the obstacle course over hurdles, a 14 foot climb and jumps through windows followed. The dog is trained to guard a suspect being searched and to attack in the event the suspect should attempt to harm the officer. The animals are generally donated to the Police Department, and must be males at least a year old. The Department is presently looking for another dog. According to Moore, German shepherds have a natural instinct for this Work, and some are also trained in narcotics work. The State provides the food, shots, veterinary services for the dog, and the handler does the rest. Cancer Meeting The Board of Directors for the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society will meet on Tuesday, December 5, at 2:30 p.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rodgers near Flint Hill. RCEA Proposals Dismissed Suggestions from the Rappahannock County Education Association on revisions to teacher evaluation procedures were rejected out of hand by the county School Board at a meeting held November 21. Noting that the Education Association had "input” through membership on elementary and high school committees that have been reviewing evaluation criteria, chairman Beverly Massie stated that superintendent William Bloomer had requested the School Board not to look favorably on the RCEA report. She added that Dr. Bloomer’s opinion carried “great weight” with the Board. Mrs. Massie’s remarks came after elementary teacher Lynne Baines read a list of RCEA proposals on teacher evaluation including requests that: 1. teachers be informed in writing within two weeks of an informal evaluation regarding any required corrections. 2. all continuing contract teachers be observed for formal evaluation once during the first semester of each school year. (Current evaluation procedures state that continuing contract teachers may be formally evaluated a minimum of one time during a three-year period.) 3. a post observation conference be held or some type of correspondence sent to teachers after every forma! evaluation. 4. requirement for teachers to ‘‘know the home and community environment of each child" be changed to “attempt to know”. 5. requirement for teachers to adhere to a “professional code of ethics" be widened to include the code referred to. (At present, the professional code of ethics is not detailed anywhere in the teachers' handbook, according to the RCEA.) 6. requirement for teachers to accept "additional tasks willingly” be changed to accept ‘‘reasonable additional tasks willingly." In her statement to the Board, Mrs. Baines noted that teachers had not seen a copy of the proposed evaluation procedure until the previous morning. November 20, and that the high school committee had not had the opportunity to review the proposals. Accordingly, she requested the Board to delay its consideration of evaluation criteria until the December meeting to allow teachers more time to offer suggestions. “I understand that the new (Continued on Page 3) THE RAPP AH ANNOCK SCHOOL BOARD faced a full house at its November 21 meeting. Approximately 60 parents, teachers and interested citizens packed the elementary school library at the beginning of the 7:30 session but only a handful stayed through to adjumment at half past midnight. Lengthy meetings and debates that have threatened to erupt into shouting matches prompted chairman Beverly Maasie to adopt measures that will differentiate between regular meetings and public hearings. Beginning at the November 21 meeting, comments from the floor will be restricted to the period set aside for public presentations with questions allowed at the close of the session, if time allows. V Repeal Of Ordinance Amendments Sought Suit Filed Against Supervisors By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New. Staff Writer The Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaac Walton League filed suit on Wednesday against the county Board of Supervisors, seeking to overturn the ski area zoning ordinance amendments adopted in September. “We feel some unfortunate procedural shortcuts were taken,” said Chapter president Bob Dennis, “and we want to assure that any irregularities are cleared ud before they become habitual loopholes in the county decision-making process.” Dennis emphasized that the Chapter’s suit is intended as “friendly action aimed at clarifying the roles of county government units and citizens alike. "Like many other Rappahannock residents, we are concerned about the vague and sweeping language of the amendments, their internal inconsistencies, and the degree to which they potentially deny county citizens a voice in Rappahannock’s future,” said Dennis. “We hope that our action will lead to new language which will actually improve upon that of the original clearly-stated ordinance.” Thfc amendments referred to in the Izaac Walton Chapter’s suit were adopted by the Supervisors on September 7 for the stated purpose of resolving litigation between the Supervisors, the Rappahannock Ski Corporation and the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals. Proposed jointly by Commonwealth Attorney George Davis and Douglas Baumgardner, attorney for the Ski Corporation, the amendments allow "outdoor recreation, including, but not limited to skiing, swimming pools, tennis courts and gravity slides" as a use permitted by right in all areas of the county where slopes are greater than 14 per cent a.;d in all areas zoned general business or commercial. Buffet Dinner W ashington Fire Department is sponsoring a Buffet Dinner on Saturday, December 9 from 5:30 to 8:30 at the Cafeteria of the Rappahannock Elementary School. The dinner will consist of old Virginia ham, roast turkey, roast beef, salad bar, buttered peas, boiled potatoes, green beans and corn, buttered carrots, dessert and beverage. For adults the price is $5 for all you can eat and children under 12 are S2.50. The proceeds will go toward the final payment on the ambulance recently purchased for the Washington Rescue Squad. The public is urged to enjoy a delightful meal and help the volunteers. Adult Recreation A recreation program for adults is being instituted at the local high school gym beginning Thursday ‘’night. November 30 at 8 p.m. The program is open to all adults in the county and members of the school system. Children and students are not allowed to participate. Gym shoes will be required and at Thursday’s meeting the time for meeting and frequency will be discussed. The program is under the sponsorship of the Rappahannock Athletic Association. Arbitrary And Capricloui In its suit, the Izaac Walton League Chapter, represented by attorney Allen Olson, contends that the Supervisors acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner by adopting ordiannce amendments that directly conflict with the objectives and development plan set forth in the zoning ordinance’s statement of purpose and intent. Specifically, the Chapter maintains that commercial recreation development is incompatible with the steep slopes to be protected in conservation districts and that such development would cause erosion, water pollution and loss of wildlife. The Chapter also contends that commercial recreational development is inappropriate for general business and commercial districts which are planned for heavy commercial use in conjunction with major transportation routes and employment centers. Also adopted by the Supervisors on September 7 was an amendment to Article 3 of the zoning ordinance. The amendment adds “to promote profit or non-profit recreational facilities activities" to the statement of purpose. The definition of outdoor recreation in the amendments reads only “Outdoor recreation, including, but not limited to skiing, swimming pools, tennis courts and gravity slides." The Chapter’s suit contends that the definition of recreation is extremely broad and open-ended, allowing all types of facilities— amusement parks, theme parks, racing facilities —to be reasonably included. Also uncertain is the question of what associated or residential uses are to be allowed by right in conjunction with recreational uses, according to the Chapter. The amendments provide little guidance on whether lodges, restaurants, motels and food concessions normally made a part of ski areas and other commercial recreational facilities will be allowed as a use by right in a conservation district. Accordingly, the suit maintains that the amendments are vague, indefinite and uncertain—thus void and legally unenforceable. Special Interest Legislation In a third point, the League Chapter’s suit argues that the administrative record of the Board of Supervisors shows that the sole purpose in enacting the amendments was to facilitate the approval and development of the ski area and gravity slide proposed by the Rappahannock Ski Corporation for its Harris Hollow tract. On this basis, the amendments are special interest legislation in the guise of a countvwide rezoning and bear no reasonable relation to the public health, safety, morals or general welfare, the Chapter contends. Finally, the suit maintains that the Supervisors violated the Code of Virginia by not allowing the Planning Commission the 90 days for consideration stipulated by law. The Planners held a public hearing on the proposed amendments on August 31 but arrived at no recommendation at the hearing or (Continued on Page 2) Weighty Problems?

Further Study Of Pay Plans Called For By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board at its November 21 meeting reaffirmed a previous decision to study several different types of alternative pay plans but stopped short of adopting a proposal for merit pay put forward by Board member ’Walter Masterson. Masterson, previously appointed to head a pay system study committee, presented a report read by assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel. Noting that some incentive was needed to reward teachers for quality service, Masterson advocated a testing program of three to four questions to be decided upon and given by the ad} ministration on a weekly basis to all classes. The tests would then be gTaded by the Piedmont Vocational School’s computer. (According to Piedmont representatives, the cost of setting up a computer program would run over $1,000 with additional expense for materials and computer time.) Masterson maintained that this weekly testing program would uncover students who weren’t achieving and teachers whose teaching methods weren’t "on target.” Then, he said, both teachers and students could be given immediate help. In addition, he proposed that teachers receiving “exceptional results" be rewarded with bonus or merit pay. "An \ early diagnosis of the problem results in an early cure," Masterson's report concluded in defense of his suggestion for weekly testing. He also proposed that a committee comprised of School Board members, superintendent of schools, president of the ParentTeacher Association, one lay person from each of the county’s five magisterial districts and teacher representatives from both schools be formed to in vestigate other pay scale alternatives. According to Masterson, new curriculum at Rappahannock schools allows for the possibility of teacher evaluation for merit pay. “It’s a very complicated (Continued on Page 8)

School Sewage Problems Appear Over By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock V«i Sun Writer Problems with sewage disposal tH|t have plagued the Rappahannock School Board for almost two years have .apparently been resolved, according to a report delivered to the School Board members at last week's meeting by Robert Barnes. Barnes, a representative from Environmental Systems Services in Culpeper, told the Board that recent tests show both the elementary and high school operating within the compliance regulations for sewage discharge set by the Virginia State Water Control Board (SWCB). He reported that a discharge permit had been issued to the high school, effective November 15. “There's some confusion related to whether (the high school’s sand filter system) is discharging at all." Barnes added. “I’ve taken several scouting trips into the woods and I Jiaven’t been able to find a discharge point.” He told the Board members that personnel from the state Health Department and SWCB hadn't been able to locate a discharge either. According to Barnes, the system discharges treated effluent from the sand filter bed but not from the earthen impoundment below the bed. He explained that water from the sewage disposal system appears to percolate into the ground. Barnes said that effluent quality rates good to excellent. "It would meet all the requirements in the discharge permit if there was a discharge,” he stated. He reported that the Board would still have to add a chlorination system at the high school, adding that cost would not be as high as the original $3,500 estimate.

East St. Culpeper 825-8371 RA 1 bO From 1600 to 3300 Worn school's sewage treatment lagoon, Barnes told the Board that eventual costs for upgrading the system would run between $6,000 and $7,000. According to Barnes, the system will be able to operate within SWCB regulations until improvements are completed IF the School Board signs a consent order, agreeing to make necessary improvements required for the lagoon system to produce effluent that will meet new, stricter standards adopted by the SWCB last spring. After the consent order is signed, the School Board will be held harmless for any sewage discharge that doesn’t comply with the law, Barnes said. He added that maintenance work required immediately at the elementary school lagoon would amount to a minor expenditure—“only a couple hundred dollars." Too Much Flourlde Rappahannock public schools will not participate in a program funded by the National Institute of Health that would add fluoride to drinking water as a preventive measure against tooth decay. Assistant Superintendent Rob McDaniel reported that fluoride levels in school drinking water are too high for Rappahannock's elementary and high schools to be part of the program. Parts of fluoride per million parts of water total .85 at the elementary school and .92 at the high school—well over the .3 parts of fluoride per million allowed under the program. according to McDaniel. He later explained that one part per million is considered optimum by dental health experts. However. McDaniel told the School Board members that the Virginia Division of Dental Health did think that students would benefit from a fluoride rinse program that would cost the school system nothing for the first two years of operation and approximately 50 cents per child per year after that. Under the program, teachers would give students a cup of fluoride rinse once a week that students would use, then spit back into the cup, sticking in a paper towel to absorb the liquid before discarding the cup in a plastic bag. The procedure will take approximately five minutes per class, said McDaniel, adding that the flavored rinse is absolutely harmless if swallowed accidently. McDaniel reported that the Division of Dental Health would also be willing to conduct dental check-ups as part of the rinse program. The Board voted unanimously to accept his recommendation that Rappahannock schools participate in the rinse program. Three Badge! Meetings The School Board agreed to a revised meeting scheduled that calls for three special budget sessions. On February 20th, the Board will hold an “input hearing” to receive proposals from interested organizations and individuals. “Then the Superintendent will make out a budget and present it to the School Board for consideration at the March 6th meeting,” explained Chairman Beverly Massie. The proposed budget will be adopted at the Board’s meeting on March 20th and presented to the Supervisors before April 1 with a request for early approval so that teachers may be offered contracts for the coming year. i ne revised meeting schedule sets the December meeting for adoption of teacher evaluation procedure and approval of Special Education and Vocational Education plans; January for presentation of up-dated sixyear plan and discussion of statewide minimum competencies; February for adoption of six-year plan and start of budget considerations; March for adoption of school calendar and budget for the coming year; April for review of policy manual; May for evaluation of goals and objectives for the current year and evaluation of Superintendent (at separate meeting); June for presentation of the Title I program and July for adoption of the Title 1 program. In other action, the Board: —approved extending liability coverage for School Board members under a Farm Bureau policy that gives SI00,000 coverage per case for yearly premiums of S350. —authorized Superintendent William Bloomer to contact the telephone company regarding possible liability for the malfunction in the flashing school zone speed limit signs in front of the high school and to secure estimates on repairing the lights. (The Virginia Department of Highways has allowed the Rappahannock Board until December 22 to either repair the lights or pay for their removal.) —approved repairs to the hign school heating system estimated at S908 and authorized participa*ion in a maintenance program covering labor and parts that will cost $1,000 per year. By NANCY SECRIST VPI Exlrmion Agritl Holidays and baking go together. Certainly more cookies and cakes are baked for the holidays than any other time. Here are some pointers for storing and packing cookies. With proper storage most cakes and cookies can be kept from 3 to 7 days at room temperature. Plain and frosted cakes and cookies, except those with whipped cream or custard filling, are usually not stored in the refrigerator as they absorb too much moisture and become soggy. Cakes rich with fruits or nuts can be kept tightly covered 1 week to 6 months in the refrigerator and up to one year in the freezer. You can freeze either baked cookies or cookie dough 9 months to a year. Frozen dough frequently takes up less space in the freezer than baked cookies. Remember to choose the right cookies for mailing. Soft drop, bar and fruit cookies travel well, while thin. crisp cookies (refrigerator and rolled types) are likely to crumble. Crisp or firm cookies and bars can be individually wrapped and carried as gifts to avoid being broken or crushed. For best results when storing cookies, place each kind in its own container to avoid mingling of flavors and transfer of moisture. Store soft or chewy cookies in a tightly covered container; store crisp cookies in a loosely covered container. Whether you’re packing baked goods to mail across the country or take across the street, there a few packing tips you should know. First, select foods that travel well. If you are handcarrying your gift a short distance, almost any food will work. Avoid delicate cakes and pies or foods that spoil easily. If you are mailing a gift, avoid items which must be refrigerated or frozen and heavily frosted baked goods. Avoid packing foods in glass containers. Choose a sturdy container for carrying a gift by hand. A durable dish, cardboard box or plastic container will do. For mailing select a plastic, cardboard or metal inner container and a heavy cardboard outer box to protect your goods. Wrap your baked gift with plastic wrap, foil or in a plastic bag. Then line the container with plastic wrap, wax paper or foil. Place your gift inside the container so it fits securely and will not shift. Fill any open spaces with puffed rice, puffed wheat or miniature marshmallows. Seal the container and decorate, if desired. If the package is to be shipped, label it with the name and address of the person to receive it and place in a sturdy outer box, making sure it is padded on all sides. Seal and label the box for mailing. Seems as if everyone who wanted to, shot a deer this season. Carol Miller was kind to share these family favorites with us.

Title I is an educational program for the disadvantaged that is intended to supplement instruction paid for with state and local revenue. It is directed towards children who need extra help in mastering regular classroom assignments. towards children who have fallen behind their peers and need intensified instruction in order to reach grade level. Title I does not include classes for hand WE ARE OPEH!! The Yellow Submarine —SANDWICH SHOP1303 N.

The investigation of Rappahannock's Title I classes was sparked by charges of an elementary school parent that guidelines for the federally funded program were being regularly violated. If the accusations had been substantiated by Headley's investigation, it could have meant the loss of federal money for Rappahannock schools. In a letter addressed to Richard Fairley, Director of the Department of Health. Education and Welfare's Division for Education of the Disadvantaged, state director of Title I programs Robert Sparks noted that his office had conducted a review of Rappahannock’s Title 1 administration. On-site visits with superintendent William Bloomer, assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel and county teachers and examination of school records showed that the complaining parent had raised three concerns with merit. According to Sparks, investigations had uncovered “some substance” in previous years that: —some Title I children had been isolated from students in regular classes, —Rappahannock's parent advisory council for Title I had not participated to the fullest degree, —parental permission was not required before a child could be admitted into a Title I class. However. Sparks emphasized that policy changes adopted during the last year had rectified all three violations of federal guidelines.

On September 7, the Supervisors voted to approve the amendments in question with no recommendation from the Planners and despite a request from the Planning Commission for additional study time. The suit argues that the Supervisors’ failure to follow the procedure set forth in the Code of Virginia allowing the Planning Commission up to 90 days to make recommendations contravenes a mandatory requirement, violates due process and renders the amendments void and unenforceable. In its suit, the Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaac Walton League petitions the court to set aside the zoning ordinance amendments and to restrain the Supervisors from taking any action to enforce the amendments, including issuing any building permit. Bad Precedent “The county is now embarked on preparation of a comprehensive plan — a difficult task frhich can succeed only if county citizens have full opportunity to understand and participate in the decisionmaking process,” explained Bob Dennis. “Left to stand, we fear that the zoning amendments adopted in September might set a bad precedent for planning procedures; we believe they should be reconsidered,” he concluded.

In addition to the standard posters of rock groups and the ubiguitous Farrah Fawcett Majors, Aaron’s room is decorated with trophy fish citations for sunfish and rock bass from Virginia Wildlife and a “Master Angler’’ certificate from Mepps, a major manufacturer and distributor of lures and other fishing equipment. The Virginia Wildlife awards cite Aaron’s “outstanding angling achievement” while the Mepps certificate notes that his catches of a one pound bluegill, one pound sunfish, one pound perch and three pound large mouth bass demonstrate Aaron’s “versatility as an all around fisherman.” A “Proficiency Award", also from Mepps, hangs over the bed in Aaron's room. “I've been fishing so good that they sent it to me,” he explained. “I got two free lures from all this too,” he added. Aaron has developed his expertise in a relatively short time. Before the Schumakers moved full-time to the county, they spent weekends at their cabin outside of Flint Hill.

In music, the most pleasant rhythms have much repetition. Each piece of music is dependent upon all its parts being balanced if the total effect required is melodious.

HANDY HINT: Use pattern with discretion to reflect your own personality and taste. 502 N. MAES ST.—CULPEPER but he didn’t go at it with any seriousness until his parents bought the old Fannie Eastham place two years ago. Six months later, he read about the Mepps awards program in a Field and Stream magazine and that began his career as a trophy fisherman. Why the attraction to fishing? It’s not for the delights of a perch or bluegill sizzling in a frying pan because Aaron only “kinda" likes the taste, although he does clean and sometimes even cooks his own catch. Aaron likes fishing because of “the sportsman-like thing...I like going after the fish and waiting for them," he explained. A true fishing enthusiast, he has his “secret spots” where the big ones that got away all live. Right now, Aaron’s working on catching some prize winning native brook trout. He admits that he spends a lot of time in Gooney Creek but he’s not worried about other fisherman finding his special spot for trout. “Everybody knows about Gooney Creek,” he said, but no one knows the exact location where young Schumaker drops his line. Aaron has also put in hours of sport with his fishing partner Neva Ordman on her farm pond, casting from a row boat or canoe. But he won't tell you if the Ordman pond is a great place for big ones. In advice to young beginners, Aaron suggested that they start out as he and Huck Finn did—with a cane pole on the bank. After developing skill and confidence, they can move up to push button spin cast and then a bar spin cast. “I use a fly rod now,” said Aaron, with justifiable pride. He relies a lot on professional lures, purchased primarily from Mepps, but occasionally, Aaron collects his own fish bait. “I use crickets and worms. Crickets are better than grasshoppers. They’re gooshier,” he maintained. Aaron is just as much of a macho he-man as the next Field and Stream reader even though he has to stretch a bit to see much over five feet. With just the slightest hint of condescension in his voice, he acknowledged that he has to bait sister Gina’s hook when she accompanies him on a fishing expedition since she can’t stand the squish. Aaron buys all his own equipment with his allowance and money that he earns from odd jobs. “I got a $30 fishing rod at a yard sale for $5. It had never even been used,” the wise shopper announced. Aaron’s mother and father are both pleased as can be with their son’s newest hobby but their support has been influenced by factors other than the fresh air and sunshine that Aaron picks up while hanging around streams and ponds. "It’s the only time he’s quiet,” his mother remarked with a giant smile. RCEA (Continued from Page 1) procedures are not to be implemented until the next school year,” said Mrs. Baines. “If that’s the case, I don’t understand the reason for rushing through this.” Noting that teachers had been asked to help improve school administration, Mrs. Baines requested that two School Board members and two administrators meet with teacher representatives to prepare an “informal assessment” of administration for presentation at the December meeting. Mrs. Massie did not respond to Mrs. Baines’s suggestion although she said later that the request for an assessment of the administration would be taken up when presented to the School Board by the Superintendent. During a presentation on teacher evaluation procedures by Dr. Bloomer later in the meeting, no mention was made of Mrs. Baines’s request. Bloomer reported that the proposed evaluation criteria under consideration by the Board had been consolidated by the administration with assistance from the teachers and principals at both schools. He emphasized that the procedures concerned teachers only, adding that criteria for judging administrators and nonprofessionals would be submitted later. He suggested that the Board members read the evaluation procedures. "Then we will react to it at the December meeting,” with a decision on when the new policy will become effective to be made at time of adoption. At the beginning of Tuesday’s meeting, faced with an audience of over 60 parents, teachers and interested citizens, Mrs. Massie announced that the Board would not accept questions or Special Meeting The Promise Land Men’s chorus will present their first program Dec. 2, at the Promise Land Baptist Church at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is cordially invited to attend.

At 10:30 p.m., before the Board went into a two-hour executive session, Mrs. Massie said she would permit comments from the audience for ten minutes. Title I math lab teacher Molly Hobson asked if the Board thought teachers had opportunity during the entire month to respond to proposed evaluation criteria. Mrs, Massie answered that she had no information on when the data was forwarded to teachers following the administration's review of reports on proposed evaluation procedures from committees at the elementary and high school. “I didn't say I thought you had the full month for interaction,” she added. "Will we have input into the proposals during the next month (before the Board acts on the evaluation criteria at the December meeting)?'' asked high school teacher Edwin Ford. Dr. Bloomer replied that he would like to have “any additional reaction from faculty members to relay to the School Board.” Mrs. Massie interjected that the Board members generally receive the meeting agenda and additional information on Thursday or Friday prior to the Board's session and noted that Bloomer should receive any comments from teachers in time for him to include it in the packets mailed to Board members. After a second inquiry from Ford regarding the possibility of allowing Dr Bloomer to authorize field trips without individual approval for every outing from the School Board, Mrs. Massie announced that the ten minutes allowed for questions were up and asked for a motion to go into executive session, leaving several persons unrecognized with their hands in the air.

It might be looked upon as zoning on a very personal basis. For example, a home in a commercially zoned area may have a restriction against use for any commercial purpose. This may be OK for the First buyer who plans to live in the house, but a lending institution may refuse to loan any money on it because commercial use may be the only reason for a new purchaser to buy it. They prefer to play it safe and give funds for less questionable and risky situations. From the point of view of the buyer, it is preferable that the agreement enumerate any and all restrictions. The point is this: If there ARE restrictions, bring them out in the open and get advice of your Realtor or attorney before going any further. It’s for vour own protection.

NOVEMBER 30, 1978 From Both Barrels GOP Plans For ’81 By GEORGE BOWLES Rappahannock New* Correspondent The widely held assumption that Atty. Gen. Marshall Coleman has a lock on the 1981 Republican governor nomination appears to be premature. yuiet but intense conversations are going on among conservatives both in and out of the party to lay the groundwork for the Fielding of a HftllKs ticket for governor,lieutenant governor and attorney general three years hence which will better reflect what GOP strategists perceive to be the growing conservative mood of the Commonwealth.Coleman does not appear to figure in their plans. These conversations are not taking place unusually early. Timing is essential, and it would not be exceptional for serious candidates for the state's three top offices to make their intentions known shortly after the mid-point of the incumbent Administration. That would be after the General Assembly elections next year. Thus potential hopefuls have only about a year to test the waters, sound out their strength and make their decisions. Stop “Liberal” Coleman There is already a fairly open “Stop Coleman” movement afoot among conservatives both within the GOP and the vast body of independent conservatives. Those who oppose his nomination do so on at least two grounds. They say he has come too far too fast, and they feel he is entirely too liberal to carry the now conservative banner of the GOP. Coleman, 36, has indeed had a rapid rise. He was first elected to the House of Delegates in 1973 and went on to the Senate in a special election in 1976. The following year he was elected Attorney General. His moderate stands on a number of issues, including his support of the Equal Rights Amendment, have seriously alienated him from the conservative wing of his party. At least four names are being prominently mentioned to head up a conservative Republican ticket. They are former delegate and now state GOP Chairman George McMath of Accomac, former Democratic Seventh District Congressman John O. Marsh. Sen. Herbert H. Bateman of Newport News and former Del. Wyatt Durette of Fairfax. McMath and Marsh are probably the front-runners at this point, although Marsh may have a problem. While he left the Democratic party, he has never formally associated himself with the Republicans. He has, however, strongly supported GOP candidates in recent elections although, at last word, he considered himself to be an independent. Byrd Abont To Hatch? The number two spot on the ticket—that of lieutenant governor—is of unusual interest and heavy with implications for the future of Virginia politics. The cracking sound you hear may be that of another Byrd about to hatch in the political nest of the Commonwealth. The name being mentioned is that of Thomas T. Byrd of Winchester, the son of Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. The younger Byrd has never held political office but he was highly active in Republican John Warner’s apparently successful senatorial bid. In recent months he has been steadily increasing his political visibility and his interest in seeking some public office is generally acknowledged. The names of the potential candidates for attorney general are legion. A GOP official said, however, that he had heard no interest expressed in suggesting that Coleman seek a second term. The ticket will apparently be filled out with a candidate who is more attuned to the firmly conservative direction of the party. Republican moderates, of course, are not likely to take all this without a struggle, and it all adds up to a monumental shoot-out at the >981 nominating convention. VA Loan Benefits Upped An increase from $17,500 to $25,000 as the maximum guaranty for Veterans Administration home loans is one of several important features of the "Veterans Housing Benefits Act of 1978." according to the Roanoke VA Regional Office. The legislation, which was signed on October 18 by President Carter also permits certain severely disabled veterans to obtain a VA grant of up to $30,000 to buy or adapt a residence to meet their special needs, VA said. VA grants for these so-called "wheelchair homes" were formerly limited to $25,000, VA pointed out that the new bill should be of special benefit to an estimated 168,000 Vietnam Era veterans because it reduces the length of active duty service required for eligibility for VA home, condominium or mobile home loan guaranty benefits. Vietnam Era veterans now need to have served only 90 days on active duty—one day of which must have been between August 5. 1964, and May 7, 1975—to be eligible for these VA benefits. “The new law brings the eligibility requirements for Vietnam veterans in line with those for World War 11 and Korean Conflict veterans," VA said. The legislation also permits VA to guarantee loans for energy-related home improvements, including installation of solar heating and cooling systems. In addition, the law authorizes VA to guarantee loans for converted condominiums as of July 1, 1979. The agency currently is authorized to guarantee condominium loans in buildings constructed and sold as this type of dwelling. VA said another significant section of the legislation restructures VA's mobile home loan program—setting a $17,500 loan maximum and extending the maximum loan term for single-wide mobile homes to 15 years, an increase of 3b months. Veterans may obtain complete details of the expanded loan guaranty program at any VA regional office.

The group with its approximately 22 family memberships has had one general meeting and one board meeting. Officers of the county’s newest organization are president Bob Dennis of Flint Hill, vice-president Barbara Lain of Woodville and secretarytreasurer Werner Krebser of Huntly. The lzaac Walton League, an activist environmental group, rs a national organization established in 1922. It is strongest in rural and small town areas where local chapter run their own affairs with a high degree of autonomy. The Rappahannock Chapter’s primary objectives are to conserve, maintain, protect and restore the county's natural resources and to promote public education activities on environmental and conservation issues. In accordance with this objective, the group is interested in adopting a stream or river in the county under the lzaac Walton League’s national program to encourage preservation of water Planning Roundtable Commonwealth Attorney George Davis will be the keynote speaker tor the December 1 meeting of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the court house. Davis will trace the history of the planning process in Rappahannock and outline steps being taken to develop the county’s comprehensive plan. Supervisors Butch Eastham, Clarence Baldwin, Dick Latham and H. B. Wood, along with Newbill Miller, mayor of Washington and member of the Rappahannock Planning Commission, will take part in the round-table meeting. purity, according the Chapter president Bob Dennis. As hunter ethics are also a concern of the national organization, Dennis said it was likely that the Rappahannock Chapter would get involved in working towards passage of “hunter control ordinances” similar to those rejected by the Supervisors last year that would have made it illegal to carijy a loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle on a public road or right-of-way . Those interested in joining the Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaac Walton League may contact any of the officers.

Letter To The Editor Police Praised To the editor: I wish to commend the Rappahannock’s Sheriffs Department and State Trooper Moore for the part they so willingly played in the search for my dear brother, Jeremiah Atkins Jr., who died of an apparent heart attack while deer hunting on his Rappahannock farm. Jerry had suffered and survived two previous heart attacks. 1 did not know that my brother was missing nor that so many heroic volunteers were searching the wooded area for him during those long, cold night hours. At 2 a.m. when the group decided they might as well abandon the search until daylight, I am told by reliable sources that Sgt. Ron Hawkins, Deputy John Mannion and Trooper Moore were among those who j wanted to continue on after 2 a.m. When members of the family and loyal friends returned to the area to continue the search at daybreak, the Deputies and Trooper did also. I was told that it was Trooper Moore’s day off officially, yet he valiantly participated in the search until the body was found. Hats off to our Sheriffs Department in our darkest hours of need and to all those other heroic volunteers who participated. Please accept my heartfelt thanks.

Only, at the last minute, if the weather were inclement, would there be a cancellation. The council, according to its president, is opposed to the deregulation of gasoline prices, and supports Congressmen John E. Moss of California, Toby Moffett of Connecticut and Andrew Maguire of New Jersey in their call on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate allegations of antitrust violations by the Shell Oil Company in the sale of wholesale gasoline. The Congressman from this district will be urged to support the move. i ne council is planning 10 spearhead an emergency furniture collection center which would assist families which may be burned out or have a misfortune which would leave them destitute. Each church in the county will be asked to designate a delegate from its congregation to attend a meeting (to be announced later) to discuss the establishment of such a service. As has happened previously, people sometimes receive more goods, furniture, bedding, etc. than they can use when hardship befalls. Instead of this occurring, a standby stock of furniture could be held in the event of a similar crises for other people.

— Pay Plans (Continued from Page 1) thing—not something that can be done overnight,” he acknowledged, adding that he was waiting on merit pay reports from school divisions in Charlottesville and Lynchburg. Noting that he had met to discuss merit pay with Corina Fountain, president of the Rappahannock County Education Association (RCEA) Masterson said that there had been ‘‘some misconception” prior to their talk but that everything had been straightened out. RCEA Opposed To Merit Pay Recognized by School Board chairman Beverly Massie, Mrs. Fountain read a statement that was highly critical of merit pay systems. “The key stumbling block to merit pay is still the method of identifying the superior teacher." said Mrs. Fountain. ‘‘No valid or reliable instrument has yet been developed to measure teacher effectiveness or the total growth of students, which involves ability to think, understanding of self, growth in values and other intangibles.” She noted that one of the best examples of the problems produced by merit pay in education is that of the ten year trial instituted by public schools in Hartford, Conn. After a great deal of research and development of a merit pay plan that included 16 specific criteria, Hartford abandoned its plan after ten years when studies showed only two criteria were being met, according to Mrs. Fountain. She added that there was no evidence to indicate that the plan improved instruction. ‘‘Although most such efforts have been undertaken at the local level, several states including New York, Delaware and Florida, have in past years passed laws mandating such plans only to repeal them later,” she continued. Mrs. Fountain maintained that merit rating plans have resulted in a deterioration of relationships between teachers and administrators and among teachers themselves, undermining morale and discouraging creativity. She concluded that, in Rappahannock, where salaries aren’t competitive with any but the lowest paying systems in the state and nation, where facilities, books, supplies and other teaching and learning conditions are deficient, the school system can’t afford to take away from its present .effort to improve inadequacies by implementing a merit pay plan that has little or no chance of success. Mrs. Fountain's presentation met with sustained applause from the audience. Merit Pay Unworkable "A good teacher is going to be good anyhow. They don’t do it for extra money," commented Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. She stated that she had taught in a school system that used a merit pay scale. "It didn’t work. It was dropped,” she reported. According to Mrs. Quaintance, parents and administrators know who the strong teachers are. Instead of adopting merit pay to improve instruction in county schools, she suggested that more care be given to avoid putting weaker teachers on continuing contracts. Masterson responded that several school systems had instituted merit plans “with tremendous success,” according to an article in the Wall Street Journal. (The article referred to by Masterson (in volume CXCI, number 104 of the Journal) notes that the Indian Hill, Ohio school system adopted “goal setting curriculum” with the type of weekly testing referred to be Masterson. According to Leon Lessinger, dean of the college of education at the University of South Carolina and one of the originators of accountability through goal setting curriculum, the system establishes “quality control.” Although the Journal article noted that wholesale improvement in student performance on standardized tests hasn’t show up yet, at Indian Hill it cited dramatic gains in two other systems —Shawnee Mission and Schools in Mesa, Arizona—where merit pay systems based on “teacher accountability” had been instituted.) Masterson continued that all he heard at the mention of any new education-related proposal were negative responses. He maintained that if nothing progressive was ever tried, the county system couldn't be improved. “I think giving more help to those teachers who are weaker, being careful of who we put on continuing contract and building up morale would be a bigger help (than adopting a merit pay system),” insisted Mrs. Quaintance. ‘‘We need to look at progressive systems so our children will be better prepared," countered Masterson. “I’m not saying that this (merit pay) is the answer. I’m saying that we need to explore different systems. We’d be derelict in our duty if we don’t.” Masterson explained that . adopting a merit pay rating would have no effect on the base salary scale that currently determines teacher salary. Instead, a merit system would be implemented through bonuses awarded teachers on top of base salary. He proposed that the committee he suggested be formed to review all pay proposals, including merit, step and index systems. “If they decide something won’t work, we can discard it but we’ll have learned something in the process,” stated Masterson. Mrs. Massie endorsed Masterson’s idea on a new committee. However, the only action taken by the Board was t^reaffirm its previous Reach nearly everyone in Rappahannock County with your Classified Ad.
