Only board members Beverly Massie, Alan Stokes and Walter Masterson with SuperinFarmers Market Meeting Set The Rappahannock Farmers Market will hold a special meeting Tuesday, February 27 at the First Baptist Church, Washington. Action on the constitution, by-laws, rules and regulations, vendors agreement, budget and discussion of the site are included in the agenda. All individuals interested are invited to attend. Big Game Saturday The big game between the Rappahannock Athletic Association and the Rappahannock teachers is set for this Saturday, February 24, at the high school auditorium. The lady cagers will meet first at 6:30 p.m. with the men’s contest to begin following the final buzzer of the women’s game. Admission will be $2 for adults and $1 for children 12 and under. All proceeds will benefit the fund drive to complete the new RCHS track. tendent William Bloomer were able to attend the hastily called session. The main item of business was approval of payroll and warrants so school bills could be paid. The board went into executive session for an hour and a half to discuss “personnel items” and the sale of the old Scrabble School property but chairman Beverly Massie reported that no action was taken on either matter. Superintendent Bloomer presented the board with additional names for the Title I Advisory Committee, explaining that state guidelines required members from categories not covered by previous committee appointments. “Isn’t there anyone from Stonewall-Hawthorne District?” asked Masterson. “I really don’t know unless there are some on the original committee,” Bloomer responded. Suggesting that approval of the new appointments be tabled, Masterson added, that he would like to see a list of the full Title I Advisory Committee membership. “I think Stonewall-Hawthorne should be represented,” he maintained. i m interested m seeing the addition categories that the state is requiring,” Mrs. Massie added. Approval of six new substitute teachers for the elementary and high schools was also postponed. “I'd feel more comfortable if I can talk to someone who knows the individuals,” said Mrs. Massie. Masterson agreed with the chairman, noting that most of the applicants were “new in the community” with “references from some place else.”. Bloomer informed the board that the need for (Continued on Page 2). LET THE BUYER BEWARE The cider may be ice cold but you’ve got to dig come without a guarentee that they re dry enough to light. Snow that blanketed Rappahannock County on Sunday buned roadside stands under three and four feet of snow after highway department plows shoved the new fallen 14 inches off roadways. Blizzard Of ’79 Hits Hard The highway department had its shovels full this week keeping county roads cleared of snow and ice as Rappahannock was swept by the “Blizzard of ’79,” the worst storm to hit the Washington, D. C., area in over half a century. Snow started falling around noon on Sunday and kept up until early Monday, coming down at the rate of one to three inches per hour. At her weather station in Amissville, Lucille Riley recorded 18 inches on the ground with 11 inches of the total coming Sunday and Monday. At the highway department maintenance shop on Washington, personnel measured 14 inches on equipment when the snow finally stopped falling. Gusty winds began late Sunday and continued until Monday afternoon, blowing new snow into three to five foot drifts that blocked the county’s secondary roads for over 24 hours in some locations. Highway crews battled through the night and morning to keep Routes 211 and 522 clear as gusts piled snow back over the two primary highways. Once the winds settled, secondary roads were attacked with plows. Late Monday afternoon, assistant resident engineer Doug Bywaters said he expected to have all paved and gravelled roads in the county plowed by midnight. Sunday’s new snow fell on a layer of old snow from last week’s storms that had been packed down on roadways like a sheet of ice, forcing schools to close from Monday morning through Friday. According to resident highway engineer Don Askew, below normal temperatures interferred with normal melting that should have cleared secondary roads after plows took off all but an inch or so of snow. Despite traffic and sun, however, the ice stayed as temperatures hung ten degrees or more below the freezing point for daytime highs. Chemicals On “Priority One" Only According to Askew, state policy allows snow removal chemicals to be used only on ‘‘priority one" roads Rappahannock County has two—Routes 211 and 522. These roads should be at bare pavement as soon as possible or at least 24 hours after a storm ceases. Askew said. He noted that a mix ol salt, calcium chloride and abrasives is generally used to clear priority one routes. Calcium chloride is most effective because it continues to work at low temperatures but, at $40 a ton. Askew said, it's expensive. Salt costs less—$30 to $40 a ton—but in order for it to melt snow and ice, it must be applied (Continued on Page 4) Wakefield Students To Visit Quebec Wakefield Country Day School's students in grades 36 will leave early next week on a four day trip to Quebec, Canada, where they will sightsee and attend the Winter Carnival.

Race Date Changed Plans For Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races Go Forward me Kappahannock Poxntto-Point Races scheduled initially for the first Saturday in March have been officially postponed until Saturday. May 19. The race, card will remain the same, according to chairman ,of the event, Witold Kuncewicz. “This last snow is just too much—there is no hope for a suitable race that early,” he said. “The weather forecast for the rest of this month is not good, so it is better to take a firm stand right now and postpone the event," he added. Preparations are going forward for the 30th running of the Rappahannock pointto-point races at Ihomton Hill Farm 2 miles south of Sperryville on Route 522. This colorful event opens with a “pair race” against the clock at 11:00 A.M. and ends with the traditional foxhound race over the beautitul Kappahannock course. Witold Kuncewicz, Race Committee Chairman, pointed out a change in the rules for this year’s event. “In all Rappahannock races this year mares will be allowed 10 pounds instead of the usual 5. We're doing this in an effort to get more mares into point-to-point racing. If we succeed and if other races make the same effort, this should help identify good brood mare prospects for the preservation and perpetuation of the classic longdistance horse.” Mary Jamieson, Chairman of the pair race, announced the inauguration this year of an important new trophy. “The Rappahannock Hunt and the Old Dominion Hounds will jointly award a trophy this year to the pair that has the fastest average time of all pairs entered in Lion s Conduct Music Contest The Rappahannock Lion’s Club will hold its annual Bland Music Contest on Saturday, February 24th, at 2 p.m. in the library of the Rappahannock Elemetnary School.

We hope the addition of this trophy will lend added interest and incentive to this end-of-the-season event.” Tile Old Dominion races will take place April 7. In addition to the regular timber and hurdle races, Rappahannock will again feature two new races begun last year: the New Mount Marshall for owner-rider foxhunters, and the Pony Race for juniors under 16.

Hospital Deductible Insurance Increased The Medicare hospital insurance deductible—the cost of covered services in each benefit period not paid by Medicare—has been increased to $160 for benefit periods beginning in 1979 from the 1978 figure of $144, Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. The deductible is intended to be roughly equal to the cost of one day of care in a hospital. The increase was necessary, Hundley said, because of the continually rising cost of medical care. The deductible is the only amount a Medicare patient is responsible for during the first 60 days of hospital care in a benefit period for covered services. The increase in the deductible also affects other 1979 per-day costs under Department of Highways and decided to put insurance for school buildings and content out on bids. Action on the six-year plan for Rappahannock schools was tabled. The first of the School Board’s four special budget meetings will be held , February , at 7:30 p.m. in the elementary school library. Those wishing to speak at this meeting are asked to call the school board offices to be placed on the agenda. A written copy of all presentations will be required for school board records. hospital insurance, Hundley said. From the 61st through the 90th day of hospital care in a benefit period, hospital insurance pays for all covered services except for $40 a day (up from $36). For each reserve day (there are 60 during a person's lifetime), hospital insurance will pay for all covered services except for $80 a day (up from $72). For the 21st through the 100th day of care in a skilled nursing facility during a benefit period, hospital insurance pays the cost of all covered services except for $20 a day (up from $18). Hundley said that these increases apply only to benefit periods starting in 1979. They do not apply to benefit periods which began before 1979. WANT TO REDUCE YOUR TAX BITE? Ferris & Company, Inc.

Reports Considered “Official Records” A report becomes an official record subject to public disclosure reuqirements of the Freedom of Information Act when it is distributed to members of a public governing body, according to Attorney General Marshall Coleman. The Attorney General said the public body is not required to take action on a document before it becomes an “official record” subject to public disclosure requirements. j. In an opinion to Delegate J. Paul Councill Jr. of Franklin, Coleman noted that many records held by public bodies do not require any action by the public body after their receipt. And Coleman said mere possession of a document by a public body is sufficient to make it an official record if it pertains to the business of the public body. ++++ The first baby show on Oct. 14, 1854, included 127 exhibits, among them a child of five months who weighed 27 pounds. Wakefield Plans Trip Robinson Opposes Tax Loophole A bill that would require non-resident aliens to pay capital gains taxes anytime they sell or exchange agricultural land they own in the U.

No such exemption from tax is emjoyed by American investors, so the situation is inherently unfair.” “It gives the foreign investor a guaranteed advantage in land transactions that is unavailable to American farmers,” Robinson maintained. “For example, it has been determined that if farmland were to appreciate at 8 per cent a year a foreign investor would be able to pay up to 15 per cent more for land than his domestic counterpart due to the capital gains exemption. In Virginia, the average appreciation in farmland in 1977 was 11 per cent, as measured by real estate value, and 8 per cent, as measured in terms of average per-acre cost. The average appreciation of U. S. farmland in 1977 is estimated to have been 16 per cent.” “Our bill would end this tax inequity, and stop giving foreign-based investors an incentive for profiteering in U. S. farmland in periods of escalating land prices,” Robinson said. ANNOUNCEMENT I, Edward M.

The trip to the Cote de Beaupre will include a visit to the world-famous Basilica of St. Anne de Beaupre, a stop at the Montmorency Falls, and lunch at l’Auberge de la Fine Gueule, where the students will sample a typical French Canadian farm meal. Also scheduled for the trip are evening meals at two well-known French restaurants, L’Entracte and the Dante, and an afternoon of sightseeing in Montreal before the return journey home. The group is scheduled to arrive back in Washington Sunday morning, after an overnight train trip from Montreal. The main purpose of the trip, according to William Tynn, Wakefield (Continued from Page 1) substitutes wasn’t as critical as it has been in the past. “The greater need is at the high school. Only in periodic cases are more substitute teachers needed here (at the elementary),” he said, noting Administrator, is to give the students, all of whom study French in school, the experience of being in a French-speaking milieu. “Wearing large stick-on tags saying ‘Parlez-moi francais, S.V.P’, the students will all be forced to try out at least a little of their French,” says Lynn. The long distance train ride is another reason for the trip, Lynn explained. “Within a few years (maybe sooner), long distance train travel will be a thing of the past,” he contends. Lynn pointed out that the roundtrip train fare is remarkably cheap, only $27 per student. "Travel,” Lynn says, “intelligently undertaken, completes the education of the child, and is, we feel, well worth the time, trouble, and money.” —Boardthat several of the new applicants had expressed preference for teaching at the secondary level.

She served as secretary, vice-, president and historian for her Nelson County 4-H club. As a Nelson County 4-H’er, she helped organize and manage fond raising projects that included sales of baked goods and food at local craft fairs.

Judith is secretary for the new Rappahannock County 4-H home economics club, sponsored by Nancy Secrist and Maybelle Gilkey. Last fall, she attended a business management workshop in Culpeper a project related to consumer education. In addition to specific 4-H activities, her achievement record also includes membership in school groups and leadership in other areas of community serivce. Judith belongs to both the youth group and choir at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church. Last summer, she helped out as junior counselor at the 4-H summer day camp. At RCHS, she’s involved with the drama club and annual staff and served as scorekeeper during girls basketball. An honor student, Judith is also enrolled in the special gifted and talented program at RCHS. State judging of achievement records will take place this summer with winners in the national competition announced in the fall. Stress: A Fact Of Life Stress—when defined as the pressures of life—begin at birth. Many people think a newborn infant needs only food, a dry diaper and lots of sleep. Parents mistakenly believe that when these needs are met, a crying baby has no real reason to cry. In fact, the crying indicates a reaction to stress—a need for stimulation or relief from boredom. Many children entering school for the first time face changes (such as, extended separation from mother or babysitter, adjustment to large group, and expectations to function at new tasks) which cause stress. In many instances, school misbehavior is a first indicator of an emotional problem. With adolescence comes many rapid changes; bodies seem out of control, growing energetically and changing dramatically. Much of the stress experienced by adolescents has to do with the adjustment form being a child (protected, watched, disciplined by parents) to becoming an adult (on one’s own with one’s own responsibilities and selfdiscipline). Going to college or starting a first job carries responsibility for making many changes and adjustments. These requirements for change are a source of stress for young adults. Forming new relationships with family and friends (becoming engaged, married, pregnant, separated, divorced, widowfed) are events which are sources of stress. Frustrations at, or with, work are some of the more frequently recognized examples of stress. Pressures to meet deadlines, do more, do better, or go faster have been known to push a person into emotional reactions of depression or exhilarate them to heights of success. Any event in life which requires adjustment (death of a spouse, personal illness or injury, being fired from a job, trouble with in-laws, Christmas, getting married, going on vacation, or retiring) is a cause of stress. As you can see from the list not all life changes cause stress in a negative way. For example, a deadline date for filing your income tax return can create | negative stress—you could become so anxious that the deadline is approaching that you cannot get all your \ figures together to actually prepare your return; or, you could be motivated by the fact that the deadline approaches, gather the required information and get your return filed early! Even day-to-day activities are sources of stress. For overweight persons, the act of eating can be a source of stress (especially if the food being eaten is a chocolate eclair and with the pleasure comes guilt that it’s not a proper choice). Most people are in control of their emotions and, depending on the source of stress, are quite capable of making the adjustments needed to relieve frustrations and anxieties. However, anyone of us can, at any given time, have our circuits overloaded with too much stress which can lead to a decline in functioning. When people cannot make the adjustment which is required or cannot, determine wh£ adjustment is needed, help w available. The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic has people trained to help others deal with sources of stress in life and to identify and make the adjustment which will result in the ability to deal with the situation. The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Appointments are available some evenings for persons who cannot come during the day.

How much of your home office expenses can be taken as a business expense depends on the size of the room in relation to the rest of the house. For example, if the house has 1,600 square feet of space and the office measures 10 x 16 (or 160 square feet), you are allowed 10 per cent of the total running costs of the house’s light, heat, repairs, painting, and other maintenance, depreciation, taxes and so on. But, remember that the room must be used exclusively for business use; preferably as a main place of business, or show that the room was necessary to see clients or patients. Also, expenses cannot exceed the income earned from the business. Also, if you have any valuable equipment in your home office, don’t assume that it will be covered by your regular homeowners insurance policy. You’ll need a special floater to protect against loss.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22,1979 A Job Well Done Three cheers for our local highway department. While residents of the greater metropolitan area are still struggling with traffic tie-ups on major roads that have only one lane cleared, folks out in rural Rappahannock can drive under almost normal conditions on little traveled country lanes. By Tuesday afternoon here, highway department crews had plowed and replowed gravel roads that deadend on mountain tops. By Tuesday afternoon in Fairfax, Alexandria and Arlington, subdivision residents were still snowed in on streets that serve hundreds of families. Doug By waters and his men from the maintenance shop outside Washington worked around the clock for two days and part of a third to keep Rappahannock roads open. Their efforts paid off. A representative from a school bus company was in the county Tuesday after traveling from Buena Vista by way of Winchester and Front Koyal. ile reported Rappahannock roads in much better condition and freer from snow and ice than roads in neighboring counties he’d driven through that same day. On top of round-the-clock work shifts, highway department personnel took time out trom their primary responsibilities to be good Samaritans. Although we may never hear of many acts of thoughtfulness, we have been told of one incident in Amissville on Monday when department plows blazed a trail for rescue squadsmen from their homes to the rescue building and then out again to answer a call from a mother-to-be in labor. Thanks to the help from the highway department, the baby was bom in Warrenton Hospital instead of at home or in a snow drift. The Rappahannock division of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation deserves thanks and appreciation from our community. Bored House Members Wear Lively Neckwear By KAREN TIMMONS RYPKA Arundel Newspapers, Richmond Bureau RICHMOND—To the folks back home, the annual gathering of the Virginia General Assembly may appear to stir up a lot of excitement and headlines, but—the awful truth—to most daily observers the charting of the state’s course is often, well, boring. Surrounding the attention grabbing controversies is a heavy padding of droning and bickering over obscure issues and routine voting on questions such as whether the town of Podunk shall have five or seven council members. The constituency is blissfully spared reports on such weighty matters, but assigned observers, aides, lobbyists and the legislators themselves must constantly be on their guard to prevent breaking decorum by falling asleep. Discipline is usually tight in the 40-member Senate where dignity is the byword, conservative dress is mandatory and the loud munching of potato chips or discreet napping is apparently forbidden even the most senior members. The House is another story. Paper airplanes have, on occasion, flown over the heads of its 100 members. Cat naps are fairly common during the endless drudgery of routine on the House floor, although those accused of indulging themselves will often claim their relaxed poses were misinterpreted. (Cited in one news report as the only legislator to fall asleep during the governor s lengthy opening speech, Del. Kenneth Plum (D-Reston) went so far as to issue a press release flatly denying the charge.) While fidgety senators may stroll to the chamber's windows for a thoughtful looking gaze at the Capitol grounds, members of the House cluster easily at one another’s desks to chat, pass around peanuts or trade jokes with equally bored reporters. This is not to say that senators don’t eat peanuts or that delegates don't take their work seriously. The House simply operates in a more relaxed atmosphere. Given the larger membership of the House, there is greater variety and more opportunity to do one’s own thing without being conspicuous. One subtle example is neckwear. With few exceptions, senators adhere to the conservative stripe and discreet emblem school of neckwear, but the House provides a source of entertainment for bored observers when it comes to ties. In a sea of business suits (excepting, of course, the nine women members), ties can afford a touch of individuality against a backdrop of pinstripes and flannel. There are statements to be made with neckwear which cannot be said by mere stripes or even paisley. Naturally, in a political atmosphere, many of the statements are patriotic. Several delegates sport ties bearing American flags, soaring eagles or minutemen. Perhaps because of his senior position, House Majority Leader A. L. Philpott (D-Henry) has the ultimate in patriotic ties—displaying waving flags, liberty bells and minutemen. Ties with Virginia themes are also popular and Del. Earl Bell (D-Loudoun) has contributed considerably to this display of patriotism. Bell owns a collection of ties bearing the outline of Virginia on backgrounds of several different colors. The Loudoun delegate found that Dick’s Menswear in Purcellville is one of the few suppliers of the ties and he regularly purchases large orders to dispense to his colleagues. Del. Floyd Bagley (D-. Hampton) pays tribute to the Commonwealth with a tie bearing cardinals and dogwoods, while Del. S. Wallace Stieffen (DHampton) and several others show off the state seal on their neckwear. Del. Claude Swanson (DGretna) favors a more modern approacn w>tn a brown tie bearing the “Virginia is for lovers” motto and a large red heart. Swanson also pays tribute to the American Legion with a bright brown, blue and beige tie bearing that organization’s symbols. Del. C. Hardaway Marks (D-Hopewell) remembers his service in World War II with a Marine Corps insignia tie and Del. Theodore Morrison (D-Newport News) displays a fondness for Boy Scouting with a tie and matching belt. There are other mundane diversions for facing the hum-drum surrounding the consideration of hundreds of pieces of legislation, but the most popular by far is the debate. A good debate or floor speech can wipe out lethargy in both the House and Senate and, given the political nature of both memberships, it is a game which often brings group participation. But in the end, there are only so many issues worth debating and, in truth, only a few legislators with a knack for capturing an audience. Really good debates, with exciting issues, are hard to come by. So while the debating drones on, in the Senate they stroll to the windows and in the House bored reporters compare ties. Pass the peanuts. Spending Ceiling Bill Killed RICHMOND—A controversial proposal to place a lid on state spending has died in a House Committee after one delegate tagged it an election year publicity stunt. The House Finance Committee killed the Senate measure last week in a 10-10 vote. Tie votes mean defeat oi any motion. The full House has already considered and rejected a similar proposal by one of its own members. The Senate bill, introduced by Sen. Ellito Schewel (DLynchburg), ran into trouble during a lengthy finance committee hearing when members of the panel suggested the proposal would be useless without a similar cap on spending by local governments. The Schewel bill would have tied state spending to growth ip gross personal income in Virginia. Using a formula which divided personal income into state revenues and added a cushion of less than one pei cent, the Schewel bill would have limited state spending to less than 7.5 per cent of the gross personal income. Members of the committee argued that the bill would do little to alleviate tax burdens on Virginians unless the General Assembly included a mandate for localities to adopt the same spending ceiling.—Karen Timmons Rypka Correction Pardon the typo—we know that Abe Lincoln and Miss Almond were born February 12—really we do. ++++ Ideas go booming through the world louder than cannon. Thoughts are mightier than armies. Principles have achieved more victories than horsemen and chariots. Our Rappahannock Heritage “Cabin Fever"Strikes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ratmahannock News Staff Writer Cabin fever (n.)—a malady that strikes during winter months when severe snow or ice storms have made roads impassable. Characterized by an overwhelming urge to do something or go somewhere, symptoms include pacing, telephoning close friends to complain and calling the local highway department every hour to find out when a snow plow can be expected. In extreme cases, a few individuals may attempt to dig themselves out from under feet of snow, risking heart attacks to clear driveways that are sometimes a mile or more long. Victims of cabin fever usually suffer secondary symptoms that include eye strain and substantial weight increases. (What else is there to do but eat, read and watch TV?) Particularly virulent forms of the malady tend to hit mothers who are shut up at home with pre-schoolers. The most severe cases, however. have been found in famines with small children and a teenager where the teenage son or daughter is out of class for three or more days, has no peer within walking distance and is cut off from even telephone contact with other teenagers. In these cases, the whole family suffers terribly. +4H—(“Mom, I'm bored. What can I do?” Is there a mother in Rappahannock County who hasn’t faced that complaint in the last two weeks from a whining youngster, forced to make do with the company of parents and siblings? If such a woman exists, direct me to her. 1 want to know her secret. Lord knows I’ve tried to be an involved parent, a super mom. I’ve found countless chores to keep the kids busy, played an endless series of games, suggested scores of projects. But it wasn't enough. Then cabin fever struck our family. The first few days after the An idea, to be suggestive, must come to the individual with the force of a revelation. —William James + + + + Man is a dispenser of words and a generator of ideas. —Ernest Reeves snow fell two weeks ago weren’t that bad. It really was a winter wonderland, at least in the beginning. All three boys were busy with their sleds. They tramped down runs, poured buckets of water down slopes and built jumps searching for that perfect ride. It was a remake of “Endless Summer” with the title changed to “Endless Winter” and the surf boards swapped for flexible flyers. But the sledding paled after the oldest boy careened down a quarter mile slope, trying to work his sled up to the speed of sound only to smash into his youngest brother as he attempted to make a human bridge with his legs for the sled to go under. This time, the youngest boy turned out to be the immovable object. He sent “irresistable force” to Fauquier Hospital with the possibility of cracked vertebra. The charm was gone. We laid down an edict that either my husband or I had to stand guard for any future trips down the slopes. Amazing how chaperoned sledding quickly loses its appeal. But, with their interest in sledding gone, the boys were back inside for another week of no school. Building snowmen long ago lost its allure. “Kid’s stuff” was their response to a suggestion that they try their hand at sculpting the white stuff. If classmates had been around to admire their snow art, it might have been sufficient motivation to get the boys outside but we knew there was little chance of anyone wandering up Red Oak Mountain to admire the scenery. They tried cooking to pass the time, baking dozens of chocolate chips and creating masterpieces of sandwich ingenuity. Lunches were a real treat, complete with homemade potato chips. Unfortunately, the novelty of the kitchen also passed as clean-up work began to drag. It was probably for the best—a few more days of homemade chips and we’d all have gained 25 pounds. Next, we gamed outselves to death. First game tournaments of backgammon, three dimensional tic-tac-toe and the family favorite, a fast moving quadruple solitaire marked by blood-chilling screams and bruised fingers. We finally used all those Christmas gifts from aunts, uncles and friends as we worked our way through the entire game line put out by Parker Brothers, Milton Bradley and every other major toy company. We skipped around to Scrabble, Boggle, Aggravation, Sorry, Master Mind and Password, taking time out to catch Jeopardy and Password Plus on television. Then, to top it all off, we wound up in a sixhour marathon world conquest game. When the weather quit playing around and decided to get serious on Sunday with 14 inches of new snow, we were all played out, What else was there to do but give up to cabin fever? We held out until early Monday morning. Even with the fever, we couldn’t face shoveling while the snow was still coming down. But by 8:30 a.m. Monday, I had the two healthy backs sweeping snow ofF the car and digging a path to the driveway while “irresistable force” nursed his injuries over a sink full of dirty dishes. Winds hit the mountain at about 9:30 and drove us back inside. The entire family stood around the kitchen, bellowing defiance at the weather till I was sure we’d start an avalanche. After the gusts died down, my husband took over leadership of the snow brigade and sent everyone but “irresistable force” back out to shovel. While the highway department’s snow plows would eventually make it up very low priority Red Oak Mountain road, we knew that they weren’t going to tackle our driveway. So, my husband reasoned, even with no place to go we’d still have to dig ourselves out—if not on Monday, then Tuesday or the next day—unless we wanted to wait for the spring thaws. With cabin fever now in full control of my senses, I eagerly agreed. When that snow plow hit the mountain, I was going to be ready to follow it back down to civilization. It’s amazing what the fever can do. We were instantly transformed from overweight, under-exercised adults into human snow removal machines. The kids had no choice but to follow along after we put the fear of God into them. “Either shovel or be on restriction until you’re 18,” they were told. With a choice like that, they both shoveled. We started at about 11. At first, with the sun shining and the wind quiet, it was more fun than work. Besides, 1 kept telling myself, if we waited for the spring thaws, we’d be housebound until April. But the pleasure wore off fast. While the family that prays together may stay together, the family that shovels together only aches and complains. Fortunately, the end was in sight when the handle on the shovel snapped. We taped it back and continued on the final stretch with more care and a lot less vigor, supplementing our efforts by kicking through three-foot drifts. Finally, we got the car out to the stop sign between Bessie Bell and Red Oak and left it there to trudge back to the house at around 5 p.m., completely burnt out. The cavalry arrived on a snow plow late Tuesday morning and we followed this metal savior, slipping and sliding all the way to the cleared, hard-surfaced road. The aches and pains in muscles that I didn’t even know I had ought to innoculate me against another bout of cabin fever this winter. If another 40 inches predicted by the almanac smothers the county, I think the cabin fever booster shots from digging out from under the Blizzard of ’79 will keep me contentedly at home until it all melts. Snow Storm (Continued from Page 1) before an inch of snow has fallen, according to the resident engineer. He added that salt won’t work at all if temperatures drop below 20 degrees. Askew maintained that the use of chemicals on thoroughfares other than priority one routes isn’t economically feasible. ’ '“The state couldn’t afft5iRS*!itift'T1ie1 tax- payers* -eouMn’-t - afford it,” he said. Since temperature dictates the amount and type of chemicals required to bring a road to bare pavement, Askew said it would be difficult to determine the exact cost of snow removal for a mile of highway. He noted that the cost of machinery and labor would also have to be included in any price figure for snow removal. “1 can’t say exactly what the amount is but it’s expensive,” Askew said. State policy for “priority two” roads—Route 231 in Rappahannock County—calls for roadways to be passable without chains as soon as possible or within 24 hours after snow stops falling. The rest of the county's paved roads rank as “priority three” and state policy states that these routes should b^0 passable without chains within 48 hours after a storm. “Priority four"—all •gravelled— roads—are to be passable with chains within 48 hours. Primarily, snow plows are used to open priority two, three and four roads to traffic. Askew said. As a general practice, sand and gravel is put down only on hills, curves and other potential trouble spots. In addition to the cost of snow removal itself. Askew said, the use of chemicals on surface treated roads (priority two and three) would result in substantially increased expenditures for repairs after spring thaws and normal seasonal break-up. Game Commission Sets Meeting James F. Mclnteer, Jr., Executive Director of the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, has reminded all interested parties that the Commission will conduct their February 23, 1979 meeting at the Holiday Inn West, 3200 West Broad St. in Richmond, Va. This is a one-time change of meeting place. Commission meetings are normally held at the Commission's headquarters. Scheduled to commence at 9:30 A.M. in the Green Room of the Holiday Inn, the meeting agenda will include the required action on the proposed changes to the fish regulations which are presented during the last meeting. Also on the agenda will be the consideration of proposed changes to the hunting and trapping regulations for the 1979-80 hunting season and other routine business. Mclnteer said that, “this meeting has been scheduled at the Holiday Inn in order to accommodate the large number of persons expected to attend this session.” This is the time and place for the Bobcat fanciers of this area to be heard. Let your views be known to this commission which regulates the seasons for hunting and trapping in Virginia. Special arrangements have been made reserving a block of rooms at the Holiday Inn for persons traveling great distances to attend the meeting and who plan to spend the night in Richmond. Those, interested should contact the Holiday Inn West at telephone number 804-359-4061. Other special arrangements include the availability of pay-as-yougo coffee and donuts near the meeting room and a buffet lunch which is being offered by the motel. Letter Commends Road Crews To the editor: r The continuing snowfall paralysis in the Metropolitan D. C. makes one pause and wonder why Rappahannock County so quickly dug out and resumed normal activities. The main reason is that Mr. Bywaters and his crew of 24 in the local Highway Maintenance Department hit the road at noon Sunday, when the snow started falling, and didn’t quit until routes were clear. They used every available truck and the grader and even contracted three trucks to help. All through the night they worked and on Monday morning we found most of our 54 miles of primary road useable. Considering that much of that is four lane road, the job was phenomenal. Throughout the day on Monday they attacked the snow on 218 miles of secondary roads and further improved the main highways. The work did not stop with nightfall. All through the second night the snow plows kept moving. The equipment began to show the strain. Some trucks began to show engine trouble, worn parts in others showed the wear. Finally the grader broke down, and then a truck but the work did not stop there either. For sixty continuous hours they kept that equipment going. There were many other instances of cooperation and hard work all over the county to help neighbors and restore normalcy. Our most grateful thanks, however, goes to our Highway Department. NELS PARSON The Little Fox
