Rodney Tilman, educational consultant considered for employment by the Rappahannock School Board, was in the county Tuesday, visiting both the elementary school and the central office in Sperryville. At a February' 27th meeting, the school board voted to seek to employ Tilman to evaluate the elementary reading program. Board member Walter Masterson, who initiated the action, reported that Tilman charged approximately $100 per day for his services and that evaluation would take from two to three weeks plus Assault At Hampton Inn James Jenkins of Leon, Richard Jenkins and Roger Haynes of Falls Church, formerly of the Etlan area, have been charged in connection with an assault which took place Sunday night at Hampton Inn near Washington, according to Trooper R.

In the proposed 1979-80 school budget presented at a special session on March 6, Superintendent William Bloomer included an appropriation of $7,000 for teacher inservice workshops and outside consultant fees. The proposed amount is an increase of $4,600 over the allocation in this year’s budget. Spring Arrives The sun moved directly above the earth’s equator at 12:22 a.m. (EDT) on March 21, arriving at the vernal equinox and marking the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere. From that moment on March 21 until the beginning of summer on June 21, the sun will move higher in the northern hemisphere, bringing more heat, and with it the seasonal changes,f\ according to Dr. Paul Knappenberger, director of the Science Museum pf Virginia. Only twice each year, on the first day of spring and the first day of autumn, does the sun rise due east and set due west as it crosses the equator. When questioned on Tuesday, Dr. Bloomer said that Tilman had not yet been formally hired by the board. His visit on Tuesday was for orientation purposes only, according to the superintendent. Before any action is taken, said Bloomer, the board must determine (1) if Tilman will accept the evaluation job, (2) when he will be available and (3) what his actual fees will be. Bloomer said he anticipated that the board would discuss the matter further at its next regular meeting, scheduled for April 10.

Smith, Commissioner of the Revenue of Rappahannock has announced that she will not seek reelection to that position this fall. She has been associated with this office for 23 years, first as Deputy and then as Commissioner for the past eight years. In declining to run again, Mrs. Smith said that she has appreciated the support of the county residents for all of these years and their cooperation has been most gratifying.

Mrs. Smith and her husband, Harry Lee Smith, live at Spring House Farm near Washington. They have two daughters, Mrs. R. V. Snead, Jr. of Lynchburg and Mrs. Duane Dillard of Greencastle, Pa. “There’s lots to do around an old, old house like ours,” said Mrs. Smith, “and we have grandchildren to enjoy.” Mr. Smith is a licensed commercial pilot and flight instructor and is also a real estate broker. ___________ ___ _____ ^ __ ^ —Rappahannock News Photo/S.

Deleted were provisions for an elementary art teacher, payment of mandatory life insurance premiums for school personnel, a special services coordinator, one aide, a cushion in anticipation of increases in the price of gas and oil, an additional vehicle for the service fleet and an aeration system for the elementary school sewage lagoon. In addition, the board slashed one-third from the amount proposed for text book adoptions, $4,000 from instructional supplies and $3,400 from inservice education. The board took no action on proposals for capital outlay, delaying a decision on three trailer units for the high school until a special session scheduled for Monday. Superintendent William Bloomer informed the board at the close of the budget meeting that he'd received final word on sales tax revenues Rappahannock could expect to receive from the state. At an earlier budget session, he’d projected a minimum income from sales tax of $214,703. According to the latest news from the state, Rappahannock will get a minimum of $226,203. Despite the extra $10,500, Bloomer said later, the increase in local funds required to support the proposed budget should amount to approximately 15 per cent if the three trailers are approved on Monday. Pay Increases In the proposed budget, the board approved a seven per cent pay increase for teachers plus a seven per cent increase applied to the supplemental pay scale for extracurricular duties. Also approved was purchase of a vehicle for transporting handicapped children and employment of an additional bus driver for the new vehicle. Two new teachers (for english and special education at the high school) and two additional aides were also included in the proposed budget. In addition, the budget covers an appropriation for two school buses under the regular replacement cycle. (A more detailed account of the school board budget session will appear in next week’s Rappahannock News.) Farmer’s Market To Open May 1 The Rappaahannock Farmers’ Market, scheduled to open May 1, is the talk of the county. Organized to help fanners, fruit growers and craftspeople from the community and surrounding area sell their produce, the market is not a profit making organization. 1ft will, however, operate a stand serving fruit juices, iced tea, hot dogs and other items to raise funds for contingencies. Farmers, fruit growers, gardeners, bakers and makers of handcrafted items are eligible for membership. They must apply, be approved and pay a $25 season fee for space which they rent from the market.

A Community Approach To Juvenile Delinquency Snow Lowers Park Visits By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock County Task Force on Youth will meet Monday, March 26, at 3:30 p.m. in the Washington Baptist Church to discuss delinquency prevention projects for 1979. At an earlier meeting held March 8, Katie Morgan, Youth Services Planner for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, reported that the Youth Task Force program was funded through a grant from the Virginia Council on Criminal Justice. The project, she said, is “an opportunity to examine problems and resources...to take an overall look at what could be done to improve the environment for young people” in Rappahannock County. According to Morgan, the major problem faced by the 836 young people here between the ages of 10 and 17 is the lack of opportunity in Rappahannock. “Most of them are not aware of the services already available to help,” she said. Often, services don t exist. Even if services are available for youngsters facing difficulties, lack of transportation prevents many young people from getting to the services, according to Morgan. Any programs instituted through task force efforts would be for all young people, not just young people in trouble, Morgan said. She stressed that youngsters had to be helped BEFORE they were brought into the criminal justice system if delinquency prevention is to be effective. “It takes a wide variety of community resources and organizations working together," Morgan said. “No one service can prevent delinquency. We need to provide not only services but wider opportunities, a positive environment, to head off problems before they occur.” As examples, she cited in-school suspension programs and added emphasis on alternative education. First priority under the Virginia Council on Criminal Justice grant is to form a delinquency prevention task force comprised of interested citizens, service professionals and youth, according to Morgan. The task force will then compile a complete listening of youth services available in the county and distribute the information, probably through a brochure handed out in the schools.

According to statistics released by Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen, Park visits were down 25.2 per cent from 38,100 in February, 1978, to 28,500 in February, 1979. For Calendar Year 1979 compared with Calendar Year 1978, the decrease is 9.7 per cent. To date, there have been 4,488 overnight stays in the Park compared with 5,522 for the same period in 1978. Measurements taxen at Big Meadows Weather Station show a maximum temperature for February of 54 degrees and a minimum of -9 degrees. Snowfall totalled 22 inches and precipitation 4 82 inches.

Then, said Morgan, the group will put all the data together and develop a community delinquency prevention plan, including a statement of goals, method of achieving the goals and list of priorities. “It will be a community plan, written by local people, suitable for the locality—not a state mandate handed down from Richmond,” Morgan said.

Marshall offices also open in Front Royal, Culpeper & Luray ■Appointments Available ■ Kilpatrick presented the school board with two petitions—each with more than 200 names—endorsing pay raises for school personnel and capital improvements to expand high school facilities. Speaking in support of a salary plan that would give school personnel a seven per cent group increase, Mrs. Kilpatrick maintained that Rappahannock’s educational program suffered because of the high teacher turnover rate. She noted that more than 200 persons signing the petition supported a salary schedule here that would be “fully competitive with surrounding counties.” Proposed by the Rappahannock County Educational Association, the seven per cent group increase was recommended by Superintendent Bloomer in his budget presentation last week. According to Bloomer, Rappahannock schools had a 33.3 per cent turnover in instructional personnel last year. Checking with neighboring jurisdictions, Bloomer found turnover rates ranging from 12.8 to 20 per cent. (None of the school districts wanted to be identified with a specific rate, he said, adding that he'd checked Madison, Culpeper, Fauquier, Warren, Page and Orange Counties.) In presenting the petitions endorsing school expension, Mrs. Kilpatrick stated that the Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education had expected more in the way of a capital improvements program than the three trailer units recommended by Dr. Bloomer. “This isn’t over,” she announced, passing the petitions out to the board. “We intend to try to get more named.” Bloomer explained later RCS Menu MARCH 26-MARCH 30 Monday Hot dog on bun, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, oatmeal cookie, milk.

NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATOR Y POLICY AS TO STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center, Inc., of Washington, Virginia, admits students and employees of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students and employees at the school and day care center. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, employment hiring policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. that he had put an allocation of $48,750 for three mobile units in the budget after listening to capital outlay committee discussions on how to solve space needs by August. He said the committee was still looking at long term solutions to space problems at the high school, elementary school, bus shop and central office, and as yet had made no formal recommendation. The next committee meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 26, at 7:30 in the elementary school library. Lucia Kilby, elementary school librarian and chairman of the Rappahannock County Education Association (RCEA), urged the board to adopt the instructional budget recommended by Dr. Bloomer. With a total of $827,790, regular day school instruction includes three new teachers (elementary art, high school English and high school special education), the seven percent group salary increase and a new administrative position (special services coordinator). The proposed scale has a starting salary of $9,500 with regular step increases for each year of experience up to 15 years and a salary of $13,250. Mrs. Kilby described the seven per cent increase as a “bare minimum.” She also criticized the omission from the recommended budget of an updated supplement pay scale proposed by the RCEA. The pay schedule for extra curricular duties has not been revised in at least seven years, Mrs. Kilby said, adding that the supplements no longer accurately reflect the responsibility level for many activities. Fringe Benefit She also urged the board to retain Bloomer’s recommended allocation of $10,300 for payment of premiums on mandatory life insurance. According to Mrs. Kilby, any new teacher entering the profession since 1962 has been required by the state to take out this insurance. “All our surrounding counties offer some benefits beyond the basic salary,” she said. If approved, the payment of mandatory life insurance will be the first fringe benefit afforded to Rappahannock teachers. The lack of benefits here, Mrs. Kilby said, has bearing on the number of Rappahannock teachers applying for jobs in surrounding counties. “I’m not sure we have any from surrounding counties applying here,” she added. Elementary teacher Corina Fountain, president of the RCEA, also spoke in favor of the salary proposal, noting that approval of the seven per cent increase would “still keep us on the bottom line compared to surrounding counties.” In the category of instructional costs, Mrs. Fountain asked Bloomer if the difference between the basic ($3,600) and recommended ($7,000) allotment for in-service education reflected cost of the $100 a day reading program evaluation approved earlier by the school board. She noted that the same evaluation services are available from the state department of education for substantially less money. “The difference in the basic and recommended is not due entirely to the $100 a day consultant,” Bloomer replied. He explained that the higher amount in the recommended budget would fund more inservice training and workshops for teachers while allowing for the “possibility of bringing in outside consultants with the aim of improving instruction.” Mrs. Fountain asked if the added emphasis on inservice programs meant that the administration had less confidence in teachers. “1 feel the same way for teachers as I do for myself. We need to be periodically refreshed,” Bloomer answered. Instructional Supplies Mrs. Fountain next asked Bloomer to explain the difference between the basic and recommended budget items for instructional supplies and to give a breakdown of the category. Bloomer replied that the $4,198 difference between the recommended and basic amounts for instructional supplies was attributable to materials for elementary art classes, should the new art teacher position be approved. If an art teacher is not hired, he said, then the additional art supplies won’t be necessary. According to Bloomer, the amount recommended for instructional supplies includes $5,625 for vocational education, $3,379 for special education, $2,000 for the gifted and talented program, $9,441 for elementary school supplies and $4,353 for high school supplies. He noted that the figures for instructional supplies reflected the amount requested by both principals in their budget reports. Under maintenance of school plants, Bloomer recommended an allocation of $25,000, including $17,000 for repairs to the elementary school roof. “How will the (remaining) $8,000 be used?” asked Mrs. Fountain. “On snow days, the black top is covered and we have inadequate parking.” She added that snow piles and ice-covered sidewalks created hazards for both students and teachers. Bloomer explained that the $8,000 will be used for contractual fees for electrical needs, plumbing, painting, glazing on any windows that may need to be replaced and exterminator services. ORGANIC FERTILIZERS Pesticides, soil conditioners and other plant needs for farmer and gardener. FAITH MOUTAIN HERBS & ANTIQUES Sperryvilla, Va. 22740 987*8824 “There’s no way I can predict breakdowns. Since we have no maintenance employees, everything but custodial work must be contracted out,” he said. ‘‘How much has been spent in the past (for contracted maintenance services)?” asked Mrs. Fountain. “$6,000—$8,000—$10,000, depending on the year,” said Bloomer. He noted that in the current year the amount spent for contractual maintenance totalled approximately $13,000. "You still didn’t say how the kids are going to get off the school buses (after a snowfall),” Mrs. Fountain countered. “They hit the sidewalks covered with ice. The teachers are out there trying to hold them up. It does create a tremendous problem.” School Lunches “With the cost of food, do you foresee an increase in the cost of student lunches?” asked Mrs. Fountain. Bloomer replied that he didn’t expect school lunch prices to jump in the coming year. He noted that food services were self-sustaining and independent of the regular budget, paid for with state and federal flow-, through funds. Jennings Hobson urged the board to approve the new administrative position of special services coordinator recommended by Dr. Bloomer. Any new programs and responsibilities initiated by the board “always seem to fall on the shoulders of the administration,” said Hobson. “I see these men (Bloomer and assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel) running up and down the road...wearing many hats.” Hiring a special series coordinator, Hobson maintained, will help the idministrators do a better (Continued on Page 10) year, she said, the Rappahannock task force could petition the county supervisors for official recognition and then apply for second year funding to implement delinquency prevention programs. Morgan added that the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission would supply staff support for this effort. According to Morgan, it costs between $15,000 and $20,000 a year to keep a young person who has committed a crime in an institution. ‘‘That figure doesn’t take into consideration the loss of the youth’s potential to the community,” she added. ‘‘This project is just a framework. We need community participation and insight...Juvenile delinquency is a community problem and a community responsibility with the solution to be found in the community,” Morgan concluded. Adults and young people interested in the youth task force project are urged to attend the March 26 meeting at the Washington Baptist Church. •Paint •Lumber j •MiRwork ■ •Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 347-1400 CHEVETTE SCOOTER 4 Sp.

Fly Control Brings Savings Fly control and a resulting savings in money can be obtained by forcing cattle on pasture to walk between dust bags containing an insecticide on their way to and from water or salt and mineral.

Both pests reduce weight gains and have been linked directly to the increase of pinkeye in a herd. The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences faculty member said increased weaning weights potentially can return $10 for every $1 invested in dust bags and insecticide. He based the statement on tests in Nebraska where controlling horn flies with dust bags increased weaning weights an average of 13 pounds per calf. At 40 cents a pound for feeder calves, the extra sale weight would be Sutjn Marshall {Restaurant RE-OPENING April 3rd Serving the finest Steaks Seafoods Cocktails Serving Lunch Tues. - Sat. 12-2:30 Thursday, Friday & Saturday 5 p.m. to 10 p.m Sundays for Brunch 12 to 2:30 p.m. Sunday Dinner 5 to 9 Rt. 55 Main St. Marshall, Va. 364-2314 COUNTRY STOVES End Of Year Clearance Sale Up to 30% OFF DATE Sat., March 24 DOOR PRIZES 1.

The cost of fly control is estimated at 51 cents per head. An even larger return is likely, considering the link between face flies and the incidence of pinkeye. In University of Kentucky experiments, calves that had pinkeye at least once averaged 36 to 40 pounds lighter at weaning than calves not infected by the disease. Cattle used about onetenth ounce of insecticide dust per animal per day. The normal fly season extends from May through September, or 153 days. To install a fly control program in a 100-head herd, a producer will need to buy two dust bag kits costing about $18 apiece. Each kit comes with 25 pounds of insecticide dust. That plus two 25-pound refills, which cost about $7.50 each, should last the entire fly season, Roberts said. To be effective, the dust bags must be installed where cattle are forced to come into contact with them every day. Fencing off the water supply works best, said Roberts.

Business Course Offered j Men and women who own their own business or who Iwould like to know how to start their own business are invited to attend a special small business management course at Germanna Community College. The 30hour program will be conducted each Wednesday beginning March 28, from 7 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. and will conclude June 4. This informative course will cover the essentials of [successful business {management, such as accounting, financial needs, marketing, legal aspects, personnel, taxes, and inventory control as well as management - related topics. Registration is $25.50 which covers all instructional and material costs. For further information and registration, call Rex Bishop, Associate Professor at (703) 399-1333. If this isn’t practical, he recommends setting up the dust bags so that cattle have to go through them to get salt and mineral. Barbed or woven wire or an electric fence will do a good job around a pond. “Watch the cattle as they walk through the treatment area to make sure the dust bags are hung at the proper height,” Roberts said. “The bags must cover the entire opening so the cattle have to pick them up with their heads. This means that the bottom of each bag should be from 18 to 22 inches from the ground, depending on the size of the animals,” he concluded. District Highway Meeting Set The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation will hold a hearing at the Culpeper District office on Wednesday, April 11, at 2:30 p.m. to obtain suggestions on future fund allocations for the interstate, arterial, regular primary and urban road systems. The local meeting is part of a statewide series scheduled for March and April. According to Commissioner Harold King, the public’s suggestions will help in preparation of funding recommendations to be submitted to the State Highway and Transportation Commission later in the spring. King said the department would solicit comments on specific road construction and improvement projects, with the exception of projects on the secondary road system. Distribution of secondary road funds will be discussed separately in hearings to be held by county boards of supervisors and the department’s resident engineers. The department’s tentative budget for 1979-80 calls for expenditures of an estimated S350 million for interstate, arterial, primary and urban construction. The Culpeper District office is located on Route 15, one-half mile south of Route 3 in Culpeper. Sue Slaughter Baptist Meet The spring meeting of the Sue Slaughter Group of Shiloh Association Woman’s Missionary Union will be held Thursday, March 29, at the Amissville Baptist Church. The program will include the installation of officers and a message by Tony Bucaloy, who is director of Prison Services of Prison Fellowship in Arlington. Members of Sue Slaughter Group Churches are urged to attend this meeting. 9?eai Estate (Otdeen dl. y mmmmmmmmm REALTOR WATCH THOSE STATISTICS You see the headlines in the newspaper quite often...:“Home prices up 6 per cent...“Home prices up 10 per cent.” The situation looks discouraging for potential home buyers. But before you shake your head and say you can’t afford those prices, dig a little deeper and see what’s behind those statistics. The prices that are quoted in the papers are usually MEDIAN prices. The median price is the middle price...Remember this when you read the real estate news. If the headline says ‘‘Median Price of Homes in West Northville Reaches $52,500” it simply means that half the homes sold went for more than that figure, and half went for less. Bear in mind that the median price figure only gives a rough idea ot home prices. The only real way to know what's available and at what price is to find out. Remember that statistics view the whole picture, surveying a group of homes and arriving at a median figure. YOU are only interested in one home! There might be one out there just for you at the price you want to pay. Come in and talk to us about it. You might be able to laugh at those statistics as you move into your own home!

THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1979 Budget Cuts School board member Walter Masterson came to Tuesday’s budget session armed with facts and figures to haul down the recommended school budget to the minimum required for operations. According to Masterson, Rappahannock school costs are steadily increasing at the rate of approximately $100,000 a year. At the same time, Masterson maintained, mastery of basic skills has been at a stand still. Fact? State Department of Education releases of SR A test results show that the performance of Rappahannock’s fourth graders on standardized exams has improved steadily over the past three years. In 1975-76, fourth graders ranked in the 44th percentile on educational ability. In 1978-79, they’re still in the 44th percentile in ability. However, between 1976 and 1979, the fourth grade class had climbed from the 46th percentile to the 53rd percentile in reading, from 52 to 54 in language arts, from 46 to 52 in mathematics concepts, from 38 to 43 in mathematics computations, from 38 to 45 in mathematics total and from 49 to 56 in social studies. Similar increases show up at both eighth grade and eleventh grade levels for the same time period. Masterson pointed to SAT test scores below both the state and national norm, to the 60 percent of elementary school students reading below grade level last year, to the high drop out rate at Rappahannock County High School and to the low percentage of RCHS graduates going on to college. He announced that median educational attainment was 12.2 years for the country as a whole, 11.7 in Virginia and only 8.6 years in Rappahannock. Are all these statistics justification for drastically slashing the school budget recommended by the superintendent? Do these statistics prove that county school personnel aren’t doing their jobs? Examine each of Masterson’s points separately. If he expects reading performances on standardized tests to improve, then we suggest he begin by persuading parents to unplug television sets and give kids books to read instead. Reading is becoming a lost art—not just in Rappahannock but throughout the United States. Educational journals, newspapers, magazines and even television have been shouting the news for years. Kids don’t read anymore. Practice makes perfect, as the saying goes. Practice means more than a couple of hours in school each day. It means reading during summer vacation, reading over the weekends and reading at home at night after school. And if Masterson is willing to tackle the reading problem, maybe he’d also be willing to instruct Rappahannock parents in the use of the English language. When kids grow up with “ain’t”, “he don’t know nothing” and other equally atrocious grammatical errors, how can they be expected to tally above average scores on language arts portions of standardized tests? The high drop-out rate is a problem faced by . all rural school systems, not just Rappahannock. According to the latest issue of the Virginia School Board Association newsletter, rural schools have the highest drop-out rate in the nation, as well as the highest rate of illiteracy. The drop-out rate also ties into the low number of RCHS graduates going on to college. But before examining possible connections between the two figures, we suggest a look at family incomes in Rappahannock. How many parents can afford to finance four years of higher education? We also suggest a look at the course offerings at RCHS. Fifteen years ago, Arlington County public schools offered German, Russian, Latin, five years of Spanish, five years of French, advanced placement math, advanced placement science, advanced placement history and art-English seminars as part of a varied and extensive curriculum. We think it’s reasonable to assume the same variety of courses is offered in 1978. Then, on the other hand, there’s Rappahannock just over the line for the minimum of courses required by the state. Using common sense, it’s reasonable to assume that a graduating senior from Arlington schools with a “B” average in college prep courses will have an edge over a senior at RCHS with the same average. When it’s time for institutions of higher learning to pick and choose an incoming freshman class, who’s going to get the nod? And if a youngster knows there’s no college in his or het future, many feel “Why finish school?” If alternative education with trade courses and job training was provided, some of our drop-outs might stay in. But good alternative education programs cost money. As far as median educational attainment, Masterson gave the figures for the U.S. at 12.2 years, the state of Virginia at 11.7 years and Rappahannock County at 8.6 years. He neglected to provide similar statistics on the other four counties in the planning district. Masterson reported that hq’d secured his statistics from the planning district commission. Contacted Wednesday morning, PD9’s executive director had no knowledge of the information referred to by Masterson. He noted, however, that a regional economic analysis released by PD9 last year gave the educational attainment levels for the entire planning district as an average of 10.3 years with Rappahannock at 9.0 years. In raising children, most parents will agree that consistency is of paramount importance. Consistency is also critical in an educational program. How can our schools provide consistency in education when faced with a 33.3 percent turnover rate in teachers last year? Other counties also suffer from a percentage of experienced teachers leaving. The difference, however, is that the turnover rate in Rappahannock skyrockets far beyond anything experienced in neighboring jurisdictions. And why are teachers leaving in droves? Could it be because Rappahannock is one of only four divisions in the state that offers no fringe benefits? Could it be because teachers' salaries here are below those of surrounding school systems? Could it be because teachers resent being categorized as “babysitters” when they devote long hours to extra curricular duties at pay supplements that often breakdown to less than 25 cents per hour? Mr. Masterson stated on Tuesday that quality is the missing link in Rappahannock’s educational program. We disagree. But if he’s right, if quality has disappeared from our county school system, we’d like to remind him of one thing—you get what you pay for. McGarvey To Be Lenten Speaker Jim McGarvey will be the guest speaker at the Community Lenten dinner next Wednesday, March 28. He is the director of the Rappahannock Mental Health Ginic in Washington, Va. McGarvey has completed a graduate program in Theology and Pastoral Psychology at the Washington Theological Union in Silver Spring, Md. He spent two years at the Center for Religion and Psychiatry, in Washington, D.C. which is run by a priestpsychiatrist. The emphasis of the Center’s program is to promote intergration, understanding and dialogue between the two fields. r An A.B. in philosophy was awarded McGarvey in 1975 from the Queen of Apostles College and Seminary, Dedham, Mass. His M.A. in psychology was received in 1973 from the Catholic University of America. • McGarvey was a member of Saint Joseph’s Abbey (Trappist Monks) for two and one-half years. During this time his activities included the study and practice of Christain theology, monasticism, spirituality and meditation. At the community Lenten dinner Wednesday evening, his talk will be on “Poverty of Spirit”. PE Rate Hike Takes Effect New Potomac Edison electric rates approved by the State Corporation Commission will become effective in Virginia with usage beginning March 15. The SCC approved higher rates designed to increase PE’s annual revenue from its Virginia customers by $3.35 million. The company had requested a $6.2 million increase. A residential customer using 580 kilowatthours a month will notice a monthly increase of $1.92, or about 7 per cent, including the levelized fuel rate. t —Rappahannock Newa Photo/S.

MANK Foreign Investors It is difficult to understand the bias against land purchases by foreign investors'. The citizens of the United States have invested billions of dollars overseas. Although this investment greatly benefits the citizens of those countries, these US investors have not always been appreciated. 1 see no reason why we should object to foreigners investing in the United States. All of us (including American Indians) came from foreign countries ourselves. There is considerable advantage to foreign capital coming to the United States. We are already suffering a serious imbalance of trade, which has led to deterioration in the value of the dollar overseas. Foreign investment here helps to redress this imbalance. Return of American dollars to the US is providing more capital to improve our standard of living. Why should we object to our farm land going up in price because of foreign investment? If the land were to decline in value the fanners would probably be the first ones to complain. I believe there should be free trade among the nations of the world. The lack of trade barriers among the states of the United States has been an important cause of our economic prosperity. It also enhances peaceful relations among the nations of the world. Registration of foreign investment in farm land will only lead to retaliation by other countries. ROBERT L. THOBURN House of Delegates Fairfax H—HF-fFFA—The first chartered chapter of FFA was formed at Weyers Cave, Virginia in 1927. Are F arm Trailers Legal ? The Rappahannock Planning Commission received a request in February to amend the county zoning ordinance to allow trailers outside off, mobile home parks as' residences for farm laborers. At that time, the planners expressed doubt that trailers could be permitted for farm workers only and not for the public as a whole. The same legal question came up recently in neighboring Fauquier County. Fauquier ordinances permit farm trailers with a special use permit granted by the supervisors. The renewable permit is granted for one year if: —The applicant is the owner of the farm on which the trailer will be located. —The occupant of the trailer is a full-time farm worker. The occupant must be a tenant and cannot be the owner of the farm. —There is no other housing available on the farm for the tenant. At the March meeting of the Fauquier Board of Zoning Appeals, the board members decided to send a memorandum to the county supervisors, asking them to review the farm trailer law for possible revision. The appeals board members stated that they had found past enforcement of the law distasteful and “probably unconstitutional.” They questioned the legality of the law, predicting that it would be struck down if ever challenged in court. “I doubt if it's legal to say that a farmer (tenant) can use a trailer for low-cost housing and someone else can’t” commented one member. No date has been set for a hearing on the Fauquier County Trailer ordinance. It is expected that the supervisors will take up the issue as part of the ongoing revision of the county’s zoning ordinance. Foreign Investors In Land Raise Cows, Horses, Vines By JOHN EISENHARD and LINDA B. KINES Arundel Newspapers In August 1976, a 596-acre farm south of Leesburg, Va., was sold for $1,075,000. The buyers: a Belgian couple. In September 1976, a 226-acre estate south of Remington, Va., was sold for $400,000. The buyers: a contractor from Hamburg, West Germany, and a German baroness and her two children. A survey by Arundel Newspapers of a three-year period, 1975-78, has identified 15 such transfers to foreign nationals of farms and estates in a five-county Virginia Piedmont area ranging from Loudoun to Orange. Some native Americans view the phenomenon with fear. Even before a government survey for an 18month period revealed that 826,543 acres of 25 million sold nationwide had been acquired by foreigners, the US Congress passed and the President signed a law requiring the disclosure of the identity and country-of-citizenship of the buyers. About 30 states have also enacted regulations, ranging from disclosure of sales—like the law the Virginia General Assembly adopted last month—to limitations on the acreage, to an outright ban on such sales. The New York Times reported last year that Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Hampshire and Oklahoma had barred non-resident aliens from holding land in those states. Newsweek magazine mentioned Mississippi and Minnesota as states banning sales of farmland to foreign nationals. Some Limit Acreage Iowa and Wisconsin imposed a 640-acre limit on the sales, Newsweek reported. Missouri has a five-acre limitation, the kind which the Maryland Assembly considered last month. During the debate in February in Virginia’s House of Delegates, Ray Garland (R-Roanoke) opposed even the mild Virginia-disclosure proposal, saying it duplicated the federal law and was unnecessary. Del. Garland Recused assemblymen like Del. Paul Brickley (DPrince William^ who urgec adoption of the bill, o1 reflecting “American farmers xenophobia”—the fear of the strange or the foreign. The Virginia bill requires not only the disclosure of land purchases by foreign nationals. It requires that land already owned by foreigners be registered* with the state Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services. While some of the investors seek financial security, a haven for their money, others also seek personal security and a new and productive life here. They’re working their farms. Germans are raising horses on two farm-estates in Clarke County. Germans are milking cows and growing wine grapes in Orange. The new German arrivals near Remington in Fauquier County are raising and training a special breed of horse, the Trakehner. Hamburg contractor Paul Heinrich Fritz “Ted” Schroer is one of the purchasers, with the Baroness Dorothea von Manteuffel, of Remington’s Chestnut Lawn, once* the home of the late owner of the Wilkins Coffee Company. Explaining his move, Schroer told Newsweek, “I think there will be trouble with socialism in Europe. Germany will be OK for five years, but the United States will be OK even longer.” In Hamburg, Schroer owned the stable used by the German equestrian team which won a 1976 Olympics gold medal. He hired a Boeing 747 to transport 35 of his Trakehners to Chestnut Lawn, its attractive pasture and woodlands, its mansion built in 1832. The Remington farm was exactly what the contractor and the baroness had been looking for. Schroer spends much of his time here, overseeing every detail of the operation. He loves foxhunting and frequently rides out with the Warrenton Hunt. The baroness (Continued on Page 5) MILK AND WINE PRODUCERS. William T. Miller, dairy farm manager, and Joachim Hollerith, vine tender and wine maker, direct the major enterprises at a German entrepreneur’s 1,500-acre Island View Farm. The Little Fox

Foreign Investors In Local Land Raise Cows, Horses, Wine (Continued from Page 4) divides her time about equally between Chestnut Lawn and Germany. Maintained immaculately, the farm has an indoor riding hall with an observation room, an Olympics size dressage arena and new board fencing. When the Germans bought it, it was assessed for $344,700. They have added a barn, a stable, a shed, and the improvements they have made in just over two years have helped push the assessed worth of the property to $526,870. Another German entrepreneur is profiting already from the dairy he operates on 1500-acre Island View Farm, and he expects to toast the success of a new winery there in the early 1980s. Surgeon By Profession Dr. Gerhard W. R. Guth, a surgeon who heads his own hospital in Hamburg, bought 13% acres on a horseshoe-shaped bend of the Rapidan River in Spring 1976. He rents 200 acres more. Dr. Guth recently completed a mansion with adjoining guest houses and outdoor recreation facilities for cooperative. In an area where dairy farming has been a source of cash income for generations, Miller checks off the records of the 451 Holsteins in the milking herd and mentions the possibility of expanding the herd to 500 head. He grew up on dairy farms in Ohio. “Island View looked like a tremendous opportunity,” said Miller of his move across the river last October after 15 years as herdsman and assistant manager of Belle Meade Farm in Culpeper County. “There was a little bit of curiosity on my part,” he said. Island View’s former owner managed the farm, once a beef cattle operation, for Dr. Guth before Miller signed on. Supervisor of five fulltime dairymen and five fulltime farm workers, Miller says most of the land at Island View is committed to milk production and “raising as much feed as we can.” At the moment, Hollerith has sole the three to four warmest months of the year that he lives in Virginia. His two supervisors, a farm manager with a degree in dairy science from Virginia Tech and a wine maker from the Pfalz region of West Germany with a master’s degree in viticulture, say that Dr. Guth’s businesses here are not hobbies. The surgeon’s investment in a projected 225-acre vineyard over the next six years may reach $5 million by the time Joachim Hollerith, now 25, is crushing the Riesling and Pinot Chardonnay grapes into wine for commercial sales. Hollerith’s plans for transplanting the fame of Germany’s wines of the Rhine and Mosel to Piedmont Virginia have been followed in print since his arrival here last April. And Italians Too Hollerith exchanges information with Gabriele Rausse who came to Barboursville Farm, also in Orange County, in 1976 to head the vineyard operation there of Italy’s largest private wine company, Zonin. Zonin’s Virginia venture is being funded through a British finance company, Western American. A visitor to Island View said she’d heard much about wine grapes. Did farm manager William T. “Bill” Miller want to say anything about dairy cows? Miller responds with another question, “Didn’t a cow come over on the Mayflower?” (Cattle were recorded in 1611 at Jamestown, the English settlement founded by foreign investors, the Virginia Company of London. Cattle were recorded in 1624 at Plymouth, Mass., four years after the Mayflower brought the Pilgrims.) Miller, 38, summarizes the dairying operation at Island View rather than offering the patient step-by-step detail that Hollerith uses to take the mystery out of growing European grapes. With good nature, Miller declines to estimate the profit from selling milk to a Maryland-Virginia responsiblity for the 250 Riesling vines planted on 2‘/j acres last spring and for the 9000 Riesling, Gewurtztraminer and Pinot Chardonnay to be planted on 7‘/a acres this spring. Hollerith’s family has been in the wine business since the 1600s. He was recommended to Dr. Guth by the head of the viticulture department at Geisenheim University where Hollerith was finishing his graduate studies after working for three years in vineyards and wineries. Dr. Guth purchased Island View Farm to grow European grape wines after consulting with German experts about the Virginia climate and soil, Hollerith explains that the aristocratic vinis vinifera will thrive here only if the vine is grafted onto hardier American roots which withstand the deadly phylloxera, a root borer. Vines from Island View are grafted by a German friend of Hollerith’s at Bully Hill Vineyards in Hammondsport, NY. “We don’t blend hybrids,” Hollerith emphasizes. “Americans are starting to like the taste of wines without the blendings.” “It’s a beginning,” he says of Island View’s promise of the taste to come of the German wine aristocracy in Virginia. The survey by Arundel Newspapers has identified about 9300 acres—of the total of 781,500 acres in farmland in five counties of the Northern Virginia Piedmont—that have been acquired in the last three years by foreign nationals. While some Virginia natives and native working farm owners may be apprehensive about this infiltration, there is evidence that many of the newcomers are doing what the natives are likely to understand best, and approve—working and improving the farms.

Rappahannock News, Washington, Va. Thursday, March 22, 1979 Ky THOMAS G. TAYLOR The Wheat and Feed Grain Program—The Feed Grain and Wheat program is well underway. Many local farmers have signed up to participate in the 1979 setaside program. Farmers who comply with the set-aside program are eligible for commodity loans, voluntary diversion, disaster and deficiency payments. Set-Aside and voluntary diversion acres may not be grazed until September 1, 1979. Farmers have until April 30 to sign up to participate in the 1979 set-aside program. Additional information on the sign-up, set-aside acres, or grazing may be obtained from the Rappahannock County ASCS office. Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP)—Sixty county farms have enrolled in the 1979 Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP). The 1979 program emphasizes rural pollution abatement as well as solving soil, water and woodland conservation problems. Funds will be available for cost-share payments when practices have been performed and bills submitted to the county ASCS office. The new program is directed toward treating serious conservation problems and cleaning up farm-related pollution. Cost-share requests are accepted throughout the year. Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978—The Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 requires that foreign persons owning, acquiring, or transferring agricultural land in the United States, or its territories or possessions, must submit a completed form ASCS-153. These forms may be obtained from, and upon completion, returned to the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. Any foreign person who holds, acquires, or transfers any interest in agricultural land who the Secretary of Agriculture determines failed to submit a report ASCS-153 or who knowingly submitted a report which is incomplete, misleading or false is subject to civil penalty not to exceed 25 per cent of the fair market value of the land on the date of the assessment of the penalty.

In a guest editorial, Bei Brodinsky, former schoo board member and notet education writer, predict: that “neglect of rural school: may begin to wind down.” He attributes the rebirth o interest in rural education tc several factors: —One third of all U. S high school students are ir rural schools. —More than 11,000 schoo districts, two-thirds of the nation’s total, are in non metropolitan areas. —Large numbers of rura families are at or below the poverty level with the nation’s highest rates of illiteracy malnutrition, unemployment and substandard housing. —Five per cent of all rura school-age children are not ir school, a non-enrollment rate twice that of urban areas according to the Nationa Rural Center. Brodinsky reports that efforts are already underway to set up machinery for rural education in the Department of Health Education and Welfare. "And the issue tc watch is whether school boards in nonmetropolitar areas will make new efforts on behalf of boys and girls from farms, villages and small towns,” he concludes.

Leake scored a total of 312 points for an average of 15.4 to place him tenth in the district in scoring. He finished third in rebounding, pulling down an average of 11.3 per game. According to coach Robert Moffett, Leake set a school record this year for rebounding. He added that the junior standout had also come in second in school records for percentage of shots hit from the field. Leake sank 52 per cent this year, right behind Danny Jett’s 56 per cent in 1977-78. From the foul line, Leake shot 80 per cent. Moffett said Leake had been a consistent performer, never scoring less than nine points or more than 22. “I’m looking for much better and bigger things from Gary next year,” the coach concluded. Leake, a junior at RCHS, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Leake of Sperryville. the needs of working parents who don't have anything suitable for their children to do after school,” explained Sursum Corda director Camille Harris. Youngsters in the enrichment program are first given a substantial snack and then go to free play or a structured creative activity. “It’s their choice,” Harris said. “I don't think they should have to plug into something else at the end of a long school day if they don’t want to.” In structured activities, Sursum Corda offers woodworking, crafts and art. For free play, options include playing games, listening to records, reading, drawing and playing with toys or playing on indoor and outdoor playground equipment. Carol Murray, who has had seven years experience with day care, oversees the afternoon enrichment program. In addition to afternoon play and supervision, Sursum Corda also provides morning child care beginning at 7 a.m. Youngsters who attend Rappahannock public schools can catch the bus from Sursum Corda to classes in the mornings and back to Sursum Corda in the afternoons. For further information, contact the school at 6753237. Sursum Corda, a state licensed day care center, is located one-half mile from Washington on Route 626.

The objective is to make the job more interesting and less fatiguing by controlling it, rather than letting it control you. It takes less time and energy if you continue one cleaning process as long as possible, such as dusting rooms on one floor, then cleaning the rugs. Dropping one tool frequently to pick up another results in lost time. For this reason, it is best to complete the one job and put the tools away before taking up another household task. Ceilings: Do ceiling first, beginning in one corner, and work so as not to leave streaks. Use solution of soap and water with ammonia. Painted, varnished or lacquered surface: Make a light suds with a mild, neutral soap such as that used for fine fabrics. Rinse away every trace of soap or the soap will leave a film. Wipe the surface dry with a clean, soft cloth. Walls and wood trim should be washed from bottom up. It is easier to wash and rinse these surfaces with soft sponges than with cloths, because good sponges are more absorbent. Two pails should be used, one for suds and one for rinse water. The water should be changed frequently. More cleaning hints next week. Please call or send your favorite methods to share with others. Our number is 675-3619, or write to Rappahannock Extension Office, P. O. Box 98, Washington, Virginia 22747. WANTED: Honey Recipes. Microwave Cooking: A Home Economist from Litton will demonstrate microwave cooking, Wednesday, April 11, 7:30 p.m. at Greystone Appliances, Banco, six miles north of Madison on Rt. 231. Eat a light dinner since the menu can be sampled. Class is free and limited to 15. Please call the Extension Office to register. Cooking Vegetables in milk according to Adelle Davis in “Let’s Cook It Right” results in the nutrients dissolving less. If the vegetable is thoroughly stirred with the milk, protein coats the surface and neutralizes the acids or alkalis which cause discoloration, thus the color is preserved and often intensified. Be sure to use a simmering temperature so milk does not boil over, scorch or curdle. The milk can be saved and used again or made into cream soup. A reminder that reservations for District Day are due by April 1 and should be send to Ellen Mustoe at Flint Hill accompanied by a check for $5.00. District Day will be held at the Springfield-Hilton in Springfield on April 18. Call your club president for further information.

Salary Increases Supported, (Continued from Page 2) ob of managing the school ;ystem. Lynne Baines supported the RCEA proposal for an increase in pay for extra curricular duties beyond the seven per cent raise recommended by Bloomer. Bloomer answered that he’d adjusted supplements for three extra curricular activities and then applied the seven per cent to be within the President’s guidelines on salary increases. “1 felt in good faith that it shouldn’t be increased more than seven per cent for this particular year,” he said. “Maybe we can take a look at it again another year.” “I hope you won’t cut the track money when you begin budget cuts,” Mrs. Kilpatrick told the board, in reference to the $7,300 budget item for track equipment. “The kids have put out and put out to get that track.” David Moore put in a final word in support of the proposed teacher salary increase. Noting that he’d frequently substituted, he praised the job being done by Rappahannock teachers and advocated the seven per cent raise to attract quality personnel. After there was no further response from the audience to the superintendent’s proposed budget, school board chairman Beverly Massie closed the special meeting. All four board members (Walter Masterson did not attend the special session) with Bloomer and McDaniel stayed for over an hour after the meeting adjourned, discussing the proposed budget informally among themselves and with the audience. Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Overseed Pastures And Hav Fields Two years - of drought coupled with overgrazing and under-fertilization left many pastures weakened and with thin stands. Then, the 1978 season with its abundant summer rains, produced a prolific crop of weedy grasses which put additional pressure on the desirable pasture and hay plants. Over-seeding to thicken stands often can be done successfully without plowing ■Sappahaunuck Reach nearly everyone in Rappahannock County with your Classified Ad.

This should be done as soon as the weather and soil conditions will permit getting on the fields. This gives the seed an opportunity to germinate early in the spring when weather conditions are favorable. Early seeding also gives the new seedlings time to get started before the plants in the old sod and weeds can offer serious competition. The plants in the existing sod must be grazed or mowed short—close enough to see your shoe soles when standing on the sod—before Beautifully, situated home on 8 acres, 2 miles west of Middle burg, 4 bdrms., 2 baths with ceramic tile floors, living room with fireplace, cedar paneled kitchen, dining room ft 2 car garage.

This gives the seed better contact with the soil and insures that the new seedlings will receive adequate sunlight. It also delays the growth of the old sod, giving the new seedlings longer to develop. There is no point in attempting to establish new seedlings if soil pH and-or fertility are limiting. Take soil samples and apply lime and fertilizer according to the soil test results. If the area to be overseeded is for pasture or for a spring hay cutting and then grazing, overseed with 1-2 pounds of ladino clover and 2-3 pounds of red clover per acre. For hay fields, seed 4-6 pounds of red clover per acre. Grass seed may also be included to help thicken the existing sod. Always use productive, disease resistant varieties and high quality seed. A wide range of overseeding methods may be used successfully. If the management factors discussed earlier are taken care of, simply broadcasting the seed on the soil surface is usually successful. Freezing and thawing of the soil will usually effectively cover the seed. Allowing cattle to stay on the overseeded area helps to tread the seed into the soil. If grass seed is included in the overseeding it is usually desirable to place the seed in the soil and cover it. If the seeding is made late in the spring (after April 1) or in the fall, it is definitely an advantage to place both the clover and grass seed in the soil rather than on the surface. A grain drill, a sod seeder developed specifically for seeding in sod, or a disk can all be used effectively for this purpose. If the sod being overseeded is actively growing, as in the spring, or fall, the use of a burn-back herbicide such as paraquat is helpful. This may be applied in bands if used with a sod seeder or may be sprayed broadcast to hold the sod back. Do not overlook the importance of post-seeding management in establishing the new seedlings. In pastures, the growth should be grazed each time the old sod begins to shade the new seedlings. In hayfields, mow the overseeded fields before the older hayfields to give the young plants every opportunity to develop. Overseeding weakened pastures and hayfields can result in dramatic improvement in their productivity. However, the management steps discussed must be followed for the procedure to be effective.
