Amateur steeplechase fans will be most keenly interested in the Ben Venue race for the Seven Comers Owner-Rider Trophy. This year’s race features “Chick” Owens on High Peak against “Tennessee” Graham on Boca Bird iq an exciting, head-to-head battle for the coveted prize. Other featured races are the Durant Hill hurdle race for non-winners under the © rules; the New Mount Marshall for fbxhunters; and the Juniors Race for riders under 16 years of age.

Shooting Range Approved By DAPHNK.HLTCHINSON Rappahammrk H«w« Staff Writer After clearing up the question of whether shooting matches are games of chance or games of skill, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals granted Mr. and Mrs. Charles Eckhardt a permit for a shooting range on Route 729. No one appeared in opposition to the permit issuance at Thursday’s meeting and only Charles Gasch, president of the Castleton Fire Company, spoke in favor of the Eckhardt’s request. The applicants, however, presented petitions with 45 signatures in support of the shooting range. Charles Eckhardt noted that every neighbor except one within a two-mile radius of the shooting range had signed. The only refusal, he said, came from a renter rather than property owner. Mrs. Eckhardt explained that the shooting range will be used by tha Battle Mountain Hunt Club for fund raising matches on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. Proceeds will go towards renting land for club members to hunt on during hunting season, she said. In addition, club by-laws call for the hunt group to cooperate with other clubs and organizations in sharing the use of the shooting range for fund raising ventures. According to Mrs. Eckhardt, membership in the club is open to “interested and active men and women who are willing to work.” Membership ceiling currently stands at 24 but Mrs. Eckhardt said this would probably be raised. Eckhardt added that the club had money in its treasury to repair any damage by members on rented property. He emphasized that hunt club members guilty of willful destruction would be ousted from the group. Rented property will be posted “Battle Mountain Hunt Club Only” and club members will carry membership cards when using the land, Mrs. Eckhardt continued, noting that the group currently has 14 active members. “Will the matches be open to the public or to members only?” asked Pete Estes. “We’d like to keep it to members and guests,” answered Mrs. Eckhardt. Her husband added that firearms used in the range will be restricted to shotguns only. Participants shoot at a still target from 25 yards, generally using number nine shot with an ounce of powder. The range, said Eckhardt, is at least 50 to 75 yards from neighboring property lines in any direction. The target itself Teacher Turnover At 35 Percent At its May 8 meeting, the Rappahannock School Board voted “with deep regret” to approve a request from elementary teacher Corina Fountain to be released from her contract for the 1979-80 school year. The resignation of Mrs. Fountain, who has been teaching here for 14 years, brings the number of teachers leaving to 22 and gives the county a turn-over rate of 35 per cent to date. The School Board also voted unanimously to hire Robert Leavell as a high school math teacher and Donna Lowe as elementary Title I math teacher. Their employment leaves 22 positions yet to be filled at the elementary and high schools. Due to insufficient interest on the part of parents, there will be no summer school program at the elementary school this year. Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel reported that 26 Title I parents and 46 parents of students in standard classes indicated interest in summer classes while over 400 parents returned survey forms indicating they wouldn’t send their children. Response was not enough to justify summer school funding through Title I, McDaniel said, noting that the school board could still choose to offer a summer program paid for with local funds. “What’s the reason why there are not many parents in favor of summer school this year when there was such a great outcry last year?” asked chairman Beverly Massie. (Last year, results of reading tests announced in late spring showed over half the students at the elementary school performing below grade level. This apparently sparked parent support for summer school which last year was limited to reading alone. At this year’s April school board meeting, elementary assistant principal Cheryl Ritchie announced that the percentage of students reading at or above grade level had jumped from 38 to 66.) McDaniel said he wasn’t sure why parents weren’t interested in summer school this year and cited conflicts with 4-H and Scout way as possible cause. He added that the response to summer school might have been greater if the administration had contacted individual parents and told parents that their children specifically would benefit from summer school. This year, he said, teachers referred 66 students whom they expected could complete a reading level in summer school. In many instances, the children who were referred weren’t the same children who’s parents indicated interest in summer school, according to McDaniel. He also noted that there was a wide variation in grade level among those children who might have attended. Jack Jenkins maintained that the interest shown through the survey form plus the 66 referrals from teachers justified offering summer school. Noting that the board was currently working for capital outlay proposals for the high school, he asked what good it was going to do to have a better facility “if we get students in the high school and they can’t read?” Asked by Mrs. Massie for a recommendation, McDaniel said he’d be “a bit hesitant to base $15,000 (the cqst of last year's summer ’ (Continued on Page 10) has no backstop, Eckhardt acknowledged, but pointed out that the adjoining property line at the rear of the target is 500 yards away. “The power of the shot wouldn’t do any more than stick you in the skin (at distances of more than 50 yards),” he maintained. “There's no way possible for the shot to reach any adjacent property.” Despite Eckhardt's assurances, Estes suggested building a backstop to protect children who might wander to the rear of the target area. Already Holding Matches Mrs. Eckhardt admitted that the hunt club and other groups have been holding shooting matches at the range since last year. “We had no idea a special use Beard Named To Committee Delegate George P. Beard, Rappahannock’s representative in the Virginia General Assembly, has been named to the Joint Subcommittee of the House Agricultural Committee studying methods of funding certain agricultural inspections. The committee will determine whether inspection of commercial feeds, fertilizers and other agricultural and consumer commodities should be funded by fees, the General Assembly or a combination of both. In announcing his appointment, Beard urged any constituent with a problem concerning the agricultural fee, system to contact him. permit was required,” she explained. Pete Estes proposed that permission for shooting matches be omitted from any permit issued to the Eckhardts, maintaining the matches were illegal games of chance. He added that he would abstain from any vote (Continued on Page 4) Accreditation Status Revised Accredited But Advised With Three Deficiencies By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock INawa Staff Writer Bob Jewell, head of the state department of secondary accreditation, is “surprised there’s so much ruckus’’ in Rappahannock over the accrediation status of the county high school, according to E. P. Luke, chairman of the board of supervisors. Luke made his remarks at a special meeting held Tuesday to review the school board budget and capital outlay proposals. Originally scheduled for 2 p.m. in the court house, the meeting was moved to the basement of the new clerk’s office because of conflicts with court session. A large turnout of approximately 150 parents and students forced a second move to the Episcopal Church parish hall. (At a citizen’s capital outlay meeting two weeks ago, superintendent William Bloomer acknowledged that Rappahannock County High School had slipped into the “accredited but warned” category with between seven and ten deficiencies counted against accreditation. According to Bloomer, accreditation is withdrawn once a school accumulates ten deficiencies. Bloomer reported this week that RCHS had been moved back into “accredited but advised” status with only three deficiencies. The action came, he said, as the result of his letter of explanation in response to the state department’s original notice.) In reporting on his conversation with Jewell, Luke said the state department of education allowed five deficiencies "as the normal course of business.” Computer reports on the high school's educational program filed with the state showed RCHS without either a fulltime librarian or office secretary. Luke noted that deficiencies were erroneously charged in both areas since the two positions are full time. In addition, he noted that RCHS had been given a deficiency for having a teacher certified in general science instructing biology. According to Luke, the school board had five applicants for the biology position last year—none certified to teach that subject. “Nltpicky” Deficiencies Luke also said that RCHS had been marked down for lack of sufficient storage space. “That’s a subjective judgement,” he said. “It has nothing to do with the academic workload carried on at the high school,” Luke added. If the state is going “to flunk Rappahannock County High School because we don’t have adequate storage space for toilet paper and paper towels, we'd have a case against the state board of education,” Luke said, describing the deficiencies charged against RCHS as “nitpicky.” “I feel perfectly satisfied the school will remain accredited,” he stated. He added that the accrediation status of RCHS had been “blown all out of proportion to the situation.” Rick Johnson, speaking for the members of Save Our School, said the group’s major concern was clearing up the accreditation situation and working to institute more courses at the high school. “We're getting by on the very bare minimum of courses," he maintained, citing the lack of any language besides French. He also advocated expanding the building trades program to better prepare graduates to find jobs. He blamed the drop-out rate at the high school partially on the lack of interest among students who feel that RCHS doesn't prepare them to enter the working world. Sharon Settle, another high school student, told the supervisors they were mislead if they thought the students’ greatest concern was storage space. “Although we would like to see the toilet paper moved out of Mr. Wingfield's office,” she added. “All we want is equal opportunity with the students from surrounding counties" in the race for jobs and college admission. Sharon continued. "We don't like being laughed at, being at the bottom of the pole." she said, adding that students didn’t like to see county teachers at the bottom of the salary scale compared with surrounding counties. "We think a whole lot of our teachers, a whole lot of our school." she concluded. DeeDee Grant. a sophomore at RCHS. told the supervisors that students have talked to former graduates now in college (Continued on Page 10) Jackson Charged With Murder Henry Hoover Jackson of Washington is free on $5000 bond after being charged Tuesday with the murder of Lester Sherman Rogers, also of Washington. Rogers died at the Jackson home Saturday night after an altercation involving several persons. After intensive investigation bv Sheriff W. A. Buntin and State Police Investigator C. R. Wilmore, Jackson was arrested Tuesday and the charge placed, according to the Sheriff. Rogers. 63, came here last year front East Point, Ga as a migrant laborer and remained to make his home. His body was sent to Fairfax for an autopsy and his relatives in Georgia notified of his demise. Goode Subdivision Case Set For July 6 Two suits brought against the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors by developer C. L. Goode will be tried one after the other on July 6 in Circuit Court here. “These cases have been dragging on and on and I want to dispose of them,” said Judge Rayner V. Snead during a pre-trial conference in chambers on Monday. Snead denied a request from Richard Potter, attorney from the Manassas law firm representing Goode, that the cases be combined. Waugh Crigler, attorney for the Rappahannock supervisors, argued against consolidation. Crigler noted that the first case, filed on August 3, 1977, after the supervisors denied Goode’s rezoning application, was addressed to the question of whether the supervisors were arbitrary, capricious and unconstitutional in their action. The second case, Crigler said, involves an appeal of the zoning ad ministrator’s decision to deny subdivision plat approval for Goode’s Mountain Slopes development. Crigler argued that the two cases involve separate county ordinances—in the first instance, the zoning ordinance and in the second, the subdivision ordinance. He added that the same evidence may not be admissable in both cases. In addition, Crigler said, a ruling on the validity of the supervisors’ denial of the rezoning may make the second case moot. Although the issue in both cases is whether Goode’s fiveacre subdivision should be approved. Snead agreed that the burden of proof could be different in each case He set the zoning case to be heard first on July b. adding that the cases may be settled on matters of law rather than requiring a jury trial once all the required discoveries and stipulations have been filed bv both attorneys. Market Has Successful Opening Despite the light rain and fog Saturday morning, over 250 persons visited the Rappahannock Farmer’s Market on its first day of business. According to market organizers, the majority of customers came from the immediate area with many declaring they expected to be regular patrons. Most of the vendors went home happy after recovering their original investment for the day. Business was so good that Silas Martin, vicepresident and head vendor for the market, had to return home for reinforcements of fresh produce and baked goods. Col. E. P. Luke, chairman of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, officially opened the market. He was assisted in the ribbon cutting ceremony by Brad Fisher, vice-mayor of the town of Washington. Col. Luke stated that he’d heard people discussing a farmer’s market for seven years before it finally became a reality and complimented the organizers for their efforts. Beginning Friday. May 18, the market will open at noon Friday, continuing as long as there are customers, and will remain open all day Saturday. When more produce and crafts are available on a continuing basis, consideration will be given to opening Sunday afternoons, according to market organizers. The Rappahannock Farmers Market is sponsored by the Rappahannock Council of Senior Citizens.

To do most of our shopping we must drive 10 to 25 miles just to get to a major food store. During this gas crunch, it is important to combine shopping trips. Keep a list of the items you need then compile it before heading off to town. If you need only several items, remember we have our own communitystores which are well stocked and can meet your needs in many instances. The State Division of Energy recommends these driving tips: —Drive 55 miles per hour on the highway. It saves 15 to 30 per cent of your gas. — Seriously consider carpooling. Leave your car home one day a week. —Drive at a steady speed. —Tune your car regularly. —Lighten your load. Unnecessary weight makes the engine work harder and burns more gasoline.

See you at the Farmer’s Market! Talent Gets Standing Ovation From the first stimulating throb of a trio of Rappahannock High School guitarists to the closing plaintive melody, “Over The Rainbow”, by the Bridgewater College Stage Band, it was a delightful evening of twentiety centuryt “go” music. In a two part show Saturday night, sponsored by the Amissville Ruritan Club, these local amateurs and the more sophistocated Bridgewater Band quickly stimulated a continuous applause that climaxed in a final standing show of appreciation by the audience. Chosen from top high school ability the local amateurs were introduced by Ruritan B. Settle. As the curtain closed on the talent show, judges moved in to award first place and twentyfive dollars to Jennette Beebe of Castleton whose charm and skill with guitar and voice had already received warm audience approval. Second place soloist, Sharon Settle of Amissville, graciously divided another twenty-five dollars with her accompanist, Dee Dee Grant of Washington. Close contestants for third place were two pianists, Becky Stirman of Amissville and Judith Bloomer, Sperryville, with Becky taking the spot and Judith finishing fourth. Each received a cash award. While guitarists Bryant Lee, Tom Lee and Steve Norman were partially handicapped with a faulty “mike”, they received some award money. The Bridgewater Band was composed of hand-picked group from the larger concert band of the school. Their dash and vigor colored a truly great performance rivaling the professional ability of big name bands. Patrons indicated it to be a Kennedy Center quality production. The director, T. R. Thornley, was once associated with Tommy Dorsey. The instrumentalists were assisted by Debbie Williams with a strong coloratura voice and Mark Robertson, an able baritone. The volumne was not only terrific, it was volcanic and the audience grinned, rolled their eyes upward in ecstasy and fixed their stare on the ceiling, hoping that plaster and lath would remain wedded. As the final notes of “Over The Rainbow” faded into silence the audience in one upsurge gave a standing tribute of appreciation to such a show of profiency and delightful music. As all Ruritan projects, this show was organized as a community interest to develop youthful talent with public entertainment. Judges serving were Mrs. Bonnie Curtis, Mrs. Frank Donald and Carson Johnson. Boy Scouts “See ’N Do” Boy Scouts from Troop 123, sponsored by Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, will participate in the “Boy Scout See 'N Do” day this Saturday, May 19. They will join Scouts from all over the area in demonstrating outdoor skills in special activities to be held along the Shenandoah River, five miles east of Front Royal on Happy Creek Road. Families of Scouts, the general public and especially boys from 11 to 17 who are not Scouts are invited to the “See *N Do.” Whether it’s using a compass, building fires, using ropes and knots or getting “un-lost” in the woods, the Boy Scouts, using their official handbooks, will show how its done.

Census Bureau has a number of temporary jobs open during the next few weeks in Rappahannock County to help prepare address lists for use during the 1980 census. Temporary census workers usually will work three to four weeks each and will be paid on a per-address collected basis. For an eighthour day, the average worker will earn $27 to $30 per day plus 17 cents-per-mile for any driving done in a private vehicle. Applicants for the jobs must be 18 years old or over, a U. S. citizen, and pass a written test. The work involves driving or walking to compile lists of addresses of each dwelling unit in designated areas of the county. These address lists will play a vital role in taking the 1980 census. They will be used to produce mailing labels for the census questionnaires to be send to each household in America on March 28, 1980. Then, a few weeks following the April 1 Census Day, census officials will use the address lists to determine which households have not returned their completed questionnaires. Census takers must then be sent to each nonresponding household to' collect the infortnatioit required on the census form. , The 1979 address collection activity in the county is part of a Census Bureau program involving 35,000 temporary workers nationwide to compile lists containing approximately 30 million addresses. Another 50 million addresses have been purchased from commercial mailing list companies. The Census Bureau is an equal opportunity employer. County residents interested in applying for the temporary census jobs should contact: U. S.

RIAITOR md ADVANTAGES OF BUYING A HOUSE The decision on whether to rent or buy a home is one that eventually confronts almost every family. If this is your case, here are a few thoughts to consider. First, an equity (cash value) is built up as you pay for the home over tfie years. And, its resale value can increase greatly (as has been the case in recent times) with rising real estate prices. Also, property taxes and mortgage interest can be deducted from income taxes. This can be a sizable tax deduction, especially during the early years of the mortgage when about 90 per cent of the monthly payment represents interest on the loan. Rent, on the other hand, cannot be deducted from anything but the checking account. When you own your own home, there is no fear of a raise in rent; your monthly mortgage payments remain the same for the life of the mortgage. Finally, where else can you find an investment that you and your family can live in while its value increases?

It s going to be a noisier spring this year than usual in Rappahannock County as the love-call of the 17-year locust is heard from Connecticut to North Carolina. This is the year for Brood Two, a 17-year periodical cicada that is the largest and most widespread brood that appears in Virginia. After spending 17 years in the ground in the immature or nymph stage, the cicadas will crawl out of half-inch holes up tree trunks, shrubbery or other structures and cling until the body wall is shed and the adult emerges. Within a few minutes, the brown carapace hangs empty while nearby, the young adult dries its wings. A week after the adult cicadas emerge, males begin to make noise, vibrating drumlike plates on their sides jin a mating call. After mating, females crawl out on limbs and twigs and start drilling holes with sawlike egg-layers. tacn iemaie may pump up to 600 eggs into dozens of holes. After six weeks the branches are crawling with! minute larvae. They soon fall ) to the ground and dig into! the nearest crevice to begin 17 years of solitary tunneling, hibernating, and growth. The tiny, sawed holes! weaken the branches, which snap off or hang like flags. Oak, hickory and fruit trees are favorite egg-laying sites for the periodical cicada, according to John Weidhaas, Virginia Tech Extension entomologist. Weidhaas said older trees receive damage comparable' to a severe pruning but generally recover. Younger trees can be severely damaged by this splitting of limbs. Weidhaas noted that a spray application of carbaryl, also known as Sevin, can be, used to protect trees and shrubs, but timing is very important. He warned, however, that carbaryl may reduce fruit production when applied within 30 days of bloom. “The best time to spray is a week to ten days after the male cicada starts singing. This will give the female enough time to emerge, mate and begin laying her eggs,” he said. This egg-laying damage is the only harm to plants from the cicadas. After feeding on underground root systems for! 17 years, they emerge withj sucking—not chewing or| biting—mouth parts and eat nothing during their adult stage. Cicadas are natives only of this part of the world, east of the Rockies, according to the National Geographic News Service. In 1633 the newly arrived Pilgrims of Plymouth, Mass., were astonished one morning when they beheld “a numberous company of Flies which were like for bigness unto Wasps or Bumble-Bees. “They came out of little holes in the ground, and did eat up the green things, and made such a constant yelling noise as made all the woods ring of them, and ready to! deaf the hearer." Turning to their Bibles, the Pilgrims concluded these “locusts" were akin to the living clouds that chewed Egypt into devastation. Indeed, they seemed to call out “Pharoah, Phaaaa...raoh!" The Pilgrims were confused since the 17-year locusts are not actually voracious locusts, but harm less ci,cadas that eat nothing above ground during their final six weeks of life. After the eggs laid by the female hatch, young cicadas drop to the ground, dig down about 15 inches and attach themselves to the roots of a tree. Even though they feed on the roots, they do not endanger the life of the trees, according to the VPI Extension entomologist. The 17-year locust's only defense against birds, squirrels, cats, dogs, and man is in numbers. As many as 40,000 may pop out of the ground beneath a single big tree. The black "W” on each of the wings has long brought forth predictions of war. American Indians considered the cicadas’ surprising appearance a bad omen, but the tribes also feasted on them with relish. An adventurous naturalist claims that the plump insects, fried or boiled in a milk stew, taste better than oysters or shrimp. Anyone for cicada dinner? R.C.H.S.

THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1979 Executive Session Executive sessions are often necessary, often worthwhile in order for governing bodies to conduct business in the best interests of the people. But the, Rappahannock School Board appears to have gone to extremes at its May meeting by retiring to closed session to open bids on surplus school vehicles and insurance coverage. As justification, chairman Beverly Massie cited Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act that allows executive sessions for consideration of acquisition, dispersal or use of real property. We’ve been under the impression that real property means real estate, not junked cars. We checked with several attorneys this week, asking them only for the legal definition of real property and the answer was the same—land. As for precedent, we remember the board of supervisors opening sealed bids on the new clerk's office in front of the public, press and bidders. The board members present, with the Commonwealth Attorney and architect, even posed for pictures of the occasion. In neighboring Fauquier County, the supervisors opened sealed bids on real property—the old county landfill site—in open session. Without relying on legal advice or precedent, however, common sense tells us that sealed bids should be publicly opened and read. If the offers are opened and considered in private, how are we to know that the accepted bid was in truth the lowest bid? After returning from private deliberations at the May 8 meeting, the school board chairman announced that the board had accepted “the low bid” for school insurance “on a three year annual contract, subject to clarification.” That was it. There were no names mentioned—not the name of the insurance company that was the supposed low bidder, not the names of any other insurance companies who submitted higher bids. Nor were any figures given. As careful as the school board is with money, we think that not a penny more than absolutely necessary was spent for the insurance. But we can’t be sure. And we won’t ever be sure on this or any other business transaction that the accepted offer is the lowest offer unless sealed bids are opened here as they are everywhere else that we know of—in public. Shooting Range (Continued from Page 1) approving a game of chance. The Board of Zoning Appeals, he said, can’t give Eckhardt “permission to break the law.” “Is a shooting match a game of skill or a game of chance?’’ asked BZA chairman Josef Gdrdiner. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s chance,” replied Estes. After checking with Commonwealth Attorney George Davis, zoning administrator Evan McNear reported that shooting matches were legal under Virginia law. He added, however, that Davis said the hunt club must be a civic, fraternal or patriotic organization in order for the BZA to have authority to issue the special use permit. According to McNear, Davis maintained that the club did not fit any of the three categories. “We’ve never valued the Commonwealth Attorney’s opinion on this board,” Gardiner commented, adding that Davis didn’t know the meaning of the word “fraternal.” Estes agreed that the hunt club fit the classification of fraternal organization since it was a “common interest” group. Before the vote on the special use permit application, Castleton fire company president Charles Gasch announced that the firemen unanimously supported approval for the shooting range. “We use it when we’re raising funds,” he said. Estes proposed approval of a hot gun target range to be used by the members of the hunt club and their guests. Col. McNear suggested the wording be amended to include “for shooting.” ‘‘What else is a target range for?” asked Gardiner. "Even somebody from the army knows that,” joked the retired admiral to the retired colonel. The vote to issue the special use permit was unanimous. The Little Fox Eckhardt’s application for the permit came after the sheriffs office had received two complaints regarding the matches. “What happens if we get another complaint?” asked Eckhardt. McNear said he would inform any future complainants that the BZA had issued a permit for the shooting range after an advertized public hearing. “No one spoke against it. We received nothing in writing...He’s had his day in court and he missed it,” McNear said. Campground Or Church? BZA member James Massie reported that he’d recently received several calls in regard to a campground being built between Rock Mills and Castleton on Route 622. “Oh, that’s the church,” McNear responded. He explained that Rev. L. D. Savage of the N.P.E.S. church (as listed on the building permit) had secured a permit five or six months ago to build a church, a use permitted by right in an agricultural zone under the county’s zoning ordinance. According to McNear, the permit specifies tabernacle, bathhouse and pavillion. ‘‘That’s all that’s authorized,” McNear stressed. He said he’s talked to Rev. Savage several times, the last occasion just two days prior to Thursday’s BZA meeting. According to McNear, Savage’s congregation intends to build more than just the three structures listed on the building permit but realizes that additional permits will be required before construction can begin. “I don’t have any doubt in my mind that they have really big plans but they have no authority to build anything except a church,” said McNear. “The minute they decide to do anything else, they’ll come in for a special use permit.” At the request of the BZA, McNear agreed to visit the building site. In response to an inquiry from BZA member George Muth, the zoning administrator also agreed to check on the status of a trailer located on Route 522. The trailer was previously approved in a hardship case, and, according to Muth, the hardship no longer exists. Utility Merger Meeting Edwin A. Kann, Manager, Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative has issued an appeal to all members of the Cooperative to attend the upcoming regional meetings being held by Northern Piedmont. A consolidation of operations would call for an administrative headquarters in the Fredericksburg area with the local Culpeper office serving as a district office. Kann and other staff members will be available to discuss the upcoming vote and how this is expected to effect their electric service cooperative at a meeting scheduled for Friday, May 18, at 7:30 p.m. in the Amissville Methodist Church. Final Stocking Final trout stocking for the spring of 1979 will be May 16 for Mill Creek and Passage Creek in Shenandoah County J and Piney Branch in Rappahannock County. Gooney Run in Warren County will be stocked on May 18. Fishermen are reminded that during the spring stockings, streams will be closed from Monday through Friday of the week in which they are stocked. Letters To The Editor —Rappahannock Nem Photo/S. Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage In Agreement To the editor: We the citizens of Rappahannock, wholeheartedly agree with your editorial, two weeks’ ago, expressing concern about the litter being scattered all over the county. “Who cares”, you ask.* “about keeping Rappahannock beautiful?” A reasonable question and the answer is, most of us do. Led by a number of organizations we pledge to support a program of beautification and cleanup in the following ways. ' On Saturday, June 30th, students, parents, everybody ; ^will pick up litter along the roadsides and streams and bring it to central deposit points in each district. Aluminum cans will be kept separate. The Lions Club and other organizations will operate the deposit points and distribute litter bags. The Highway Department will provide the litter bags, pick up the trash at the deposit points (except aluminum cans) and properly dispose of it. Then on July 4th everyone will bring the aluminum cans to Washington and feed them to an aluminum eating monster know as “RLEP, the Litter Lapper.” Spawned by the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, he will be eating the cans, spitting them at the Reynolds Aluminum Company and giving the proceeds to tne volunteer Fire Departments. The Izaak Walton League is “adopting” several streams in the county to help preserve their water quality and beauty and will lead in clearing litter from them. The students of Rappahannock County, showing that they do care, are supporting all of these activities. They will also be distributing a pledge, for all in the county to sign, which will read: “I hereby pledge to keep roadsides and streams beautiful by not littering them and by picking up trash dropped by careless people.” On Saturday, June 30th and July 4th we invite the people of Rappahannock County to join this effort and help keep Rappahannock beautiful. We invite the Garden Club, the Woman’s Club, the Ruritan Club and any other organization to join us in a beautification and cleanup program, June 30 and July 4. NELS PARSON RLEP Luke Thanked To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to thank supervisor chairman E. P. Luke for opening the special supervisors budget session held on Tuesday to comments from parents and students. MARY SCHUMAKER Flint Hill Remembering The Tornado of ’29 By BECKY BURKE Rappahannock News Special Writer Part II Coming Upon the Scene Pauline Hawkins (now Mrs. Jack Bruce) was attending Sperryville High School, and had ridden home with friends in a brown, 4door Ford sedan that day. “We were not at all disturbed by the terrible thunderstorm. Kids don’t pay much attention to such things,” she said. A large tree had blown across the road creating “p wall of foliage”. They were forced to stop. When they maneuvered around the tree, Mrs. Bruce recalls, “It looked as though the town had been blown away. Houses and buildings I passed on my way to school that morning were missing. I looked for the school—it was gone. I think what impressed me most when I came upon that scene was the absolute stillness—not a creature, human or animal, was moving.” When Mrs. Bruce’s mind registered motion, she saw a man scurrying across the road. Next she saw her brother, Thurman, walking toward her. As he reached the car, Mrs. Bruce realized that his ears were “coated with mud and his clothes tattered.” He told her about the school being blown apart. Not seriously injured, Thurman had landed in the orchard behind the school. Soon after Thurman’s appearance, Mrs. Hawkins arrived and ordered her son and daughter to go straight home. Mrs. Bruce s parents counted noses and realized that one of their sons was missing. Marshall Hawkins, age 13, a seventh grade student was found face down in mud under the double doors of the schoolhouse which had trapped him. The tornado had claimed its first human victim. The message came by phone to Swartz’s Store (now the Corner Store) in Sperryville that Woodville had been destroyed. Mrs. H. B. Winfrey said she rode to Woodville in a Model T car “with a man whose name to this day I don’t know.” Reaching Woodville, she was approached by Lewis “Sweets” Browning, husband of the teacher. In the ex citement, Mr. Browning mistook Mrs. Winfrey for someone else. His usual speech impediment was aggravated. He called to Mrs. Winfrey, beseeching her, ‘‘Etta Bee, Etta Bee—tome here twick, Liddabit’s been blown to bits!” Dr. Kelly was returning to Culpeper after a house call on Red Oak Mountain when word reached him of the emergency in Woodville. He began working in the emergency shelter set up in the Wallace home and was there when xMrs. Winfrey arrived. Pressing a pair of shears into her hand, he instructed her to cut the clothes off the injured children. Elizabeth Browning was the first to receive Mrs. Winfrey’s assistance. Cutting along her right coat sleeve to the shoulder, “I found a bone sticking out. So I switched to the left arm; there was another bone sticking out,” remembers Mrs. Winfrey. The more she cut away clothes, the more serious were the injuries uncovered. Elizabeth’s right arm was so badly crushed, only temporary measures were taken. Her left arm was set immediately by Dr. Kelly. Her Death Reported Other injured students and the teachers were transported to the hospital at Charlottesville. Rescuers thought Elizabeth Browning and Billy Pulliam could not survive that trip so they were taken to Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton. Elizabeth Browning Graves has no recollection of feeling pain. She does remember that Tescue volunteers made several attempts before reaching the ambulance with her. Each time they moved outside, the torrents of rain increased, forcing them inside to wait for the downpour to slaken again. Mrs. Graves has praise for the attention she received from the doctors and nurses at the hospital. She recalls dissatisfaction with the accommodations, though. When she was wheeled to her hospital room, Elizabeth told her attendants, “I can’t stay here. The bed is hard and there’s no window in this room!” Several days into her stay in the Hospital, a roommate read her an account of the tornado from a local paper, including the list of fatalities which said, “Elizabeth Browning of Woodville.” Young Elizabeth said matterof-factly, “That’s me.” Mrs. Graves recalls that the subject was promptly dropped. “I couldn’t see well enough at the time to read and I never got to see the article myself.” Reviewing Woodville Damage In a stripe through the middle of Woodville, the tornado destroyed and damaged homes, churches and other buildings. Among the most frequently remembered are the churches. The Episcopal church, apparently the first hit, was completely destroyed, and the walls were ripped away from the Baptist Church. The Methodist congregation attended services afterwards in the church building set back on its foundation. Of the churches in Woodville, only Shiloh Baptist escaped damage. i Rescuers found Mrs, Cora Botts, a deaf and nearly blind invalid, safe in her room, the only part of her home which was not destroyed. Her daughter’s bedroom directly above Mrs. Bott’s contained a “ring tree” on the dresser. The diamond ring of Lucy Botts King was recovered, undisturbed by the tornado, from its place on a limb of the ring tree. Horses belonging to the brothers of Mrs. Henry B. (Julia) Wood, Sr. remained tied to the post where they were hitched that morning. The barn around the horses was blown completely away. More Destruction The tornado continued around the base of Red Oak Mountain. Around Long Mountain behind Washington was a trail of twisted, downed trees. Years later coon hunters could track the path of the tornado by the scars left on nature. Will Griffith at Rock MUls saw every building on his property destroyed, including the family’s home. His daughter, Mrs. Louis (Annie) Moore, now living in Flint Hill, saw pictures of the damage, “The car was turned upside down and a lard can ended up on the car axle.” Mr. and Mrs. Bob Corbin were living in the tenant house on a farm south of Ben Venue. Mrs. A. H. (Anne) Keyser recalls Mrs. Corbin relating the experience of that day. Carroll Settle dashed across the field to the Corbin house. He called to Mrs. Corbin in an anxious voice, “Worse cloud I’ve ever seen. I just know I’m gonna be killed.” Mrs. Corbin told him to come in out of the storm. She suggested he sit down by the chimney, warm himself by the stove, and calm down. The stones from the chimney fell on Mr. Settle when the tornado hit. Although Mrs. Corbin was able to move the stones and rescue Mr. Settle, he died several days later from his injuries. Mrs. Corbin’s baby was found away from the house safely covered by an orange crate. Her 3-year-old son was blown into the closet under the stairway which was the only part of the house left standing. He was not hurt. The last Rappahannock victims were a woman and young child living on Ben Venue farm. From Ben Venue, the tornado jumped into Fauquier County. It claimed more victims in the Catlett area there. The Healing Begins Where St. Paul’s Episcopal Church communion table had stood, a marker was erected. Harry Stephenson says, “Jock Brown pointed out to me that the date on the inscription is wrong (May 3), but I told him it didn’t matter that much.” The parishoners did not build another church at Woodville. The Baptist Church was restored and in time, the Methodist Church was righted on its foundation. Mrs. Cora Bott’s family built a new home on the original site. It is now the home of Mrs. Henry Wood Sr. and family. A new, single story school was built on the same hill in Woodville. Undaunted, Elizabeth Browning Graves rode horseback the two miles from her home to school that fall of 1929. She had spent two months in Fauquier Hospital overcoming major injuries. The ninth day of her confinement, doctors diagnosed the additional complication of lockjaw. After a week at home, she was hospitalized at the University of Virginia Hospital for a month. Weighing 100 pounds when she was injured, she left the hospital weighing only 68 pounds. The lockjaw contracted all the muscles in her body and left her temporarily unable to walk, as well as talk. She says today, “The whole time I was in the hopsital I didn’t think about dying. I just wanted to go home.” The nurses encouraged her high spirits by writing on the medical chart “can go out and play in the yard.” Mr'S. Graves credits her survival to her strong desire to return to school and the lifestyle she had known in pre-tornado days. Today she lives with her husband, George Graves, in Madison County. The school building which replaced the destroyed one was converted into a residence after the students were consolidated at the Sperryville School. It is now the home of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Johnson. A tree standing down the hill from the school still holds a screen from the schoolhouse in its branches, placed there by the tornado. For Louise Jenkins Alther the tornado signaled an end to school days. She married Jonas Alther and looks forward to the celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary this June. Thurman Hawkins, brother of victim Marshall Hawkins, lives in Miami Beach, Florida and is considering retirement in Rappahannock County. Mrs. Pauline Bruce remembers her brother, Marshall, fondly as a somewhat mischievous, fun-loving youngster. Even today thunderstorms or dark clouds bring back Tornado of ’29 memories to the survivors of this oncein-a-lifetime disaster. (The loan of pictures of destruction in Woodville by Mr. Harry Stephenson is gratefully acknowledged.)

Main St. Culpeper NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF COMMISSION INVESTIGATION OF TARIFFS FOR RECOVERY OF FUEL COSTS BY THE POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY The 1978 Session of the General Assembly of Virginia has enacted legislation which required each electric utility which purchases fuel for the generation of electricity to submit to the Commission its estimate of costs, including the fuel component of purchased power, for a one-year period beginning January 1, 1979, along with proposed rates designed to recover the estimated fuel expenses. Hearings were held in December, 1978, on the projected costs and associated rates, and by orders dated December 22, 1978, the Company was allowed to place into effect tariff provisions to recover the estimated fUel expenses. It is further the responsibility of the Commission to investigate during the year actual costs of generation so that any annual over-recovery or under-recovery of fuel expenses can be adjusted. The Commission is also required to review actual generation costs and to consider the reasonableness of such costs. Potomac Edison comes under the new General Assembly Act. The Company has been instructed to file with the Commission on or before May 28, 1979, its actual fuel expenses for the quarter ending March 31, 1979, and any tariff provision it may propose to correct over-recovery or under-recovery, and evidence in support of its filing. On or after May 28, 1979, copies of this filing may be reviewed in any business office of the Company where bills may be paid. A public hearing has been scheduled to review the Company’s costs commencing on June 19, 1979 in the Commission’s Courtroom, Richmond, Virginia. The purpose of this public hearing is to receive evidence on actual fuel expenses and to determine if there has been over-recovery or under-recovery which should be corrected by tariff revision. Also during this hearing the Commission’s Staff will present its proposed procedures for receiving, storing, and evaluating fuel expenses and costs of generation. If, after review of the material filed by the company, any interested person wishes to participate as a protestant in the hearing, i.e., to present evidence, crossexamine witnesses, make arguments and Hie briefs, then they should Hie a protest in accordance with the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure on or before June 12, 1979 with William C. Young, Clerk of the State Corporation Commission, P.O. Box 1197, Richmond, Virginia 23209. Also a copy of the Protest should be tent to Robert B. Murdock, Esq., The Potomac Edison Company, Downsville Pike, Hagerstown, Maryland 21740. If, any Interested person, does not wish to participate as a protestant, but instead wishes to appear and make a statement In his or her own behalf, they need only appear at 9:46 a.m. on the day of the hearing at which time they will be given a Notice of Appearance Form by the Bailiff. These interested parties will be given an opportunity to speak at 10:00 a.m. on that day or as soon as practicable thereafter.

(Continued from Page 1) "who are only getting by with the skin of their teeth” because they weren’t adequately prepared at the high school. Bare Minimum “Even if we do stay accredited, our school is at the minimum, just the bare minimum," said Courtney Jones. “We’re trying to understand your point,” she told the supervisors, complimenting them for visiting the high school with the school board members earlier in the day. “We’re behind you if you’re ready to help us,” she added. Tammy Settle maintained that the Piedmont Regional School w'as “really great for a few people. But only a small percentage of us can go,” she said, citing the need for students to take academic as well as vocational courses. Andy Nichols, a former graduate of RCHS and Lynchburg College, noted that Rappahannock had been defined as an agricutlural county. “If this is an agricultural county and you’re sending students to Piedmont to study building trades, they’ll have to leave the county to find jobs,” he said, proposing the addition of agriculturally related programs at KtHS. In talking to his classmates at Lynchburg College, Andy said, he’d found that most of the college graduates with teaching certificates wouldn’t consider coming to a school system “as limited” as Rappahannock’s. “Most of the good education majors are just going to say ‘Forget it!’...You’ve got to show a little quality before you get quality in teachers,” he maintained. Noting that there is no additional space in RCHS for expanded course offerings, Sean Kilpatrick asked where an additional language class would be housed if there was sufficient student interest to introduce Spanish. “I don’t know where my good friend Mr. Wood (supervisor and orchardist H. B. Wood) finds people to trim his apple orchards. They’re not many trained here,” said Kilpatrick. In reference to the students who attend Piedmont Vocational School, Kilpatrick said that many were required to leave government class, a course required of seniors for graduation, half-way through the class period. Addressing inadequacies in the cafeteria, he noted that students wandered around the halls during lunch time because of PUBLIC SALE THURSDAY NITE, MAY 17, LOCATED AT JENKINS AUCTION HOUSE WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA TIME: 7*30 PM.

DOOR PRIZE JOHN WALKER JENKINS AUCTIONEERING SERVICE Washington, Va. 22747 675-3325 AUCTIONEER’S NOTE: This is an auction you should plan to attend lack of seating space, eating in classrooms and outside when the weather permitted. In the science program, said Kilpatrick, students should at least be provided with a biology room that has water “so they don’t have to run a hose across the hallway.” In conclusion, he asked the supervisrs to consider "the maximum possible capital outlay budget for this school system” because of the desperate need for space. “It’s unfortuante that the| emphasis has been put^HM; accreditation since it appears that the State Board of Education will bend over backwards and fall down to avoid taking it away,” commented Sharon Kilpatrick. She urged the supervisors to think about the needs of the school system rather than aiming to meet minimum state standards. “The school has been providing all that it can in the space available,” said Joyce Foster. She told the supervisors that she was currently taking Art IV in a room with three other classes. “I plan on making my career in art,” she said, adding that she could go no further in courses offered at RCHS. Art In Hallway Pat Helmer added that she’d visited the high school recently and found Joyce “in the middle of the hall with her art project because there was no room in the class.” She also noted that the building trades class was currently meeting in a storage closet “with no room, no ventilation and no heat.” Ron Wiley reported that a school board member allegedly maintained the county couldn't have a school capital outlay project that caused taxes to go up or he’d have to sell a portion of his land. “That makes no difference to me,” said Wiley. “What’s more important? That he has to sell a little protion of his land or that we provide an education for our young people?” Col. Luke explained that the supervisors' only involvement with the schools lay in approving the budget once a year. "It’s the school board’s responsibility to judge the needs and present the needs with proper justification to the board of supervisors,” he said. Noting that he’d visited the high school earlier in the day, Luke suggested several ■■improvements that could be “They can run water and gas into the biology room and that doesn’t take a whole lot of money. They can put doors and windows into the building trades class and that doesn’t take a lot of money. They can sweep out underneath the bleachers.” “Personally, I didn’t think the discipline up there was so good,” the supervisor chairman continued. He noted that he’d seen students sleeping in class, wearing hats in class and hanging all over each other. “There are things there I see that I wouldn’t tolerate,” he concluded. Newbill Miller interjected that he wanted to know what was proposed for capital outlay at the high school and why. “I understood that was the purpose of this meeting,” he said. Ten New Classrooms Luke replied that the school board had recommended ten new classrooms at RCHS with expanded library, cafeteria, bathroom, storage and office space, eliminating only the horticulture classroom and greenhouse from plans drawn by the architectural firm of Davis and McClintock. As a second alternative, the board endorsed construction of four classrooms with expanded library, bathroom and storage facilities. Naming the high school as first priority, the board requested that construction there begin Teacher Turnover (Continued from Page 1) school) on 46 maybes.” He pointed out that the survey forms filled out by parents signified interest only and not a firm commitment. Jenkins countered that the administration had sent no information home to parents on whether their child could be expected to finish the year reading on grade level if he or she attended summer school. Sharon Kilpatrick noted that 46 regular students and 26 Title 1 students were more than the number attending summer reading classes last year. “That's assuming that they all attend,” McDaniel responded. Jenkins repeated that he felt the reaction would have been greater if more information had gone home to parents. “Most parents don’t know the importance of the reading program,” added Barbara Jenkins. “They weren’t educated when they were young and they don’t realize the education their children need.” The board took no action to implement a locally funded summer school program. In response to a letter from Gov. John Dalton sent to all school board chairmen in the state, Mrs. Massie requested Superintendent William Bloomer to develop an energy May 16-19 Remington Volunteer/ Fire Department Annlfcarnival 100 Unit Parade Friday Nite Matinee for Children 2-5 Saturday _Special rales on rides Crowning of Fire Queen 7 p.m., 19th Grand Prize Car to be given away midnight 19th Free door prizes Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Food, Fun, Games!!} conservation plan to onng before the board. Steps suggested by Dalton included encouraging students to ride buses to school rather than drive personal cars, encouraging teachers and administrators to form carpools and to reduce total bus fleet mileage to the lowest possible level. (In a related development, the schools announced concellation of all field trips last week as the result of a 20 per cent cutback in gasoline available from suppliers.) Dr. Bloomer informed the board members that federal laws regarding special education will be revised, effective September 1, 1984. Currently, federal law requires localities to provide a “free and adequate” educational program for all handicapped children from five to 21 years of age while state law requires the same program be provided to children from two to 21 years, according to the superintendent. He reported that federal law will be changed in 1984 to cover the years from birth to 21. Bloomer also told the board members that the non functioning school warning lights in front of RCHS had been removed by the highway department. He explained that the supplier from whom replacement lights had been ordered was unable to promise a definite delivery date. Due to the delay in i delivery. Bloomer said the highway department had | okayed repairing the old ! lights, even though they are | obsolete, if repairs could be accomplished faster than installation of new lights. Evaluation of school board goals and objectives set at the beginning of the year was tabled and will be taken up at a second meeting in May along with evaluation of administration personnel. In other action, Bloomer announced that Allied Exterminators of Culpeper had been awarded the contract for pest control treatment at both schools on the basis of a low bid of $1,600. After Bloomer reported a bid of $7,000 for calibration and other maintenance work on the elementary school’s heating system, the board requested that he secure additional estimates before the June board meeting. Mrs. Massie suggested that any unspent funds left in June from the current school budget be earmarked for this project. immediately. Luke noted that the board listed the elementary school as second priority with trailers included in the 1979'80 budget to be moved there when high school construction is completed. The board asked that construction of additional permanent space at the elementary school begin in two or three years. The school board ranked construction of a new bus garage as third priority with the possibility of having to acquire additonal land to protect the sewage treatment lagoon from contamintion from garage run-off. Luke noted that time frame for this project depended on the progress in the highway department’s four-laning of Route 211. Fourth priority, with no time frame, was given to construction of school board offices. Luke said that the county could borrow the money to finance the capital outlay projects from the state literary fund, repayable at 3 per cent interest over 20 years. Based on projections from Davis and McClintock for construction and architect’s fees only, cost of the projects will be $386,660 for the elementary school, $687,640 for the high school (including green house and horticulture classroom), $127,575 for the bus shop and $160,832 for the school board office. Luke noted that the estimates didn’t include furnishings, site preparation or sewage system improvements. Dr. Bloomer reported that the present school debt is $662,875 with a payment of $54,611 due in the coming year. In response to a question on high school enrollment, Bloomer said it was up approximately 22 students from the previous year. Enrollment is around 450, although attendance has been as high as 480 on a given day, he added. Luke acknowledged that the number of students eligible to attend school has increased, according to the latest school census. In the coming year. Bloomer continued, 100 seventh graders will enter RCHS, replacing a graduating class of 77. In addition, he said that older students in the educable mentally retarded class currently meeting at the elementary school will also attend the high school in 1979-80. Looking further down the line, Bloomer said the sixth grade group was relatively small with only three classes. “But we have five fifth grade classes so there’ll be another surge then,” he added. “Whatever enrollment figure is used, it’s far above what the school was built for,” interjected Jennings Hobson. Bloomer replied that he understood the school’s original capacity was 250 or 275 with a classroom expansion built in 1966 for 100 additional students. School board chairman Beverly Massie countered that former superintendent O. A. Norton had told her the school was built for 350 with the 1966 expansion bringing capacity up to 450. “It's obvious to anyone who’s been to the cafeteria that it wasn’t built for 400 students,” commented Bob Frazier. 12 Month Classes Acknowledging that the high school is overcrowded, Newbill Miller asked if the school board had considered using the building for classes year round. He added that localities reached a saturation point regarding funds expended for education. “The high school is overcrowded but I don’t think that’s the basic problem,” he concluded. High school teacher Denise Nelson reported that year round schools had been tried in Prince William County without satisfactory results. Sharon Kilpatrick said she would like to see the school used during the summer to offer additional courses as a supplemental program. “But the school board didn’t want to even run the summer Offerings By Lyne SPERRYVILLE—Attractive 2-story Cape Cod with 6 rooms, 2 baths, plus apartment, nursery and attached garage, also studio and heated greenhouse with water, on 2 acres.
