DeMent Given 30 Days To Comply By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In a letter dated May 15, the Rappahannock Board ol Zoning Appeals notified P. E. Steve DeMent that he has until June 15 to modify the addition to his Sperryville antique business so that the new building complies with the special use permit issued for its construction. The permit for a garagestorage area addition was first issued in April, 1977. In June, the BZA revoked DeMent’s permit on grounds that construction (1) did not meet requirements on setback from the adjoining property line and (2) was not an extension of the existing structure as stipulated in the permit. Following DeMent’s appeal of the BZA’s action to circuit court, Judge Rayner V. Snead ruled on August 31, 1978, that the BZA had authority to both issue and revoke the special use permit. In a second ruling on November 13, 1978, Snead held that the BZA’s action in revoking the permit was neither arbitrary nor capricious. In effect, the Judge's decision left the building in non-compliance with provisions of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance. Waugh Crigler, attorney for DeMent, indicated after Snead’s rulings that his client might appeal the decision to the State Supreme Court. Time limit for appeail expired last month, however, with no action taken. The May 15 letter to DeMent states that DeMent’s addition is an “unlawful structure” and must be modified to meet requirements set forth in the original permit. The permit stipulates a 70foot by 40-foot addition built as an extension of the existing building. If a 70foot-long addition had been constructed off the existing building, it would have left 50 feet of space between the end of the addition and the adjoining property line. Instead, DeMent built the addition as a separate building connected to the existing building by a breezeway 24 feet long, leaving the end of the addition just 20 feet from the adjoining property.

Title I Approved At a special meeting held Monday, May 21, the Rappahannock School Board unanimously approved aTitle 1 budget of $130,372 for the coming year. According to Superintendent William Bloomer, the federal funds will be used to finance a continuation of this year’s programs which include primary classes and reading and math labs for upper elementary and high school students. The approved budget shows an increase of $12,247 over the 1978-79 Title I budget. Dr. Bloomer noted that the Title 1 allocation for Rappahannock schools for the 1979-80 school year is $145,517. “We can spend the additional $15,000 if we can come up with a justifiable program and services," he said. Bloomer explained that the program for the coming year may be amended to include the total available funding after the Title I Advisory Committee meets with assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel. In addition, the School Board unanimously approved contracts for five new teachers. Three first year teachers were hired for primary grades kindergarten through third: University of Virginia graduate Kathryn Chambers, Longwood graduate Raye Rector and William and Mary graduate Diane Tuthill. LeeAnn Fairweather, first year graduate from James Madison University, was employed to teach upper elementary. Mary Denson Abbitt, a graduate of Salem College with three year's teaching experience, will teach high school English. The School Board members, also reviewed goals and objectives set for the current year and agreed, at Dr. Bloomer’s request, to bring individual evaluations of each goal to the June meeting for discussion.

Old Washington Mill Rezoning Proposed Restaurant, Antique Shop Planned By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrwn Staff Writer At their May 16 meeting, the Rappahannock planning commissioners agreed to advertize a public hearing for May 13 on rezoning the old mill property just outside the Washington town limits from agricultural to commercial (RB-1). Furniture craftsman Peter Kramer told the planners that he and his partner, Washington D.C. attorney Joel Fisher, have a contract to buy the old mill and snack bar building with approximately three acres. "I’d like to restore the mill but it needs economic viability,” said Kramer. “I don't want to sink $50,000 to $60,000 in the building and not get any use out of it.” Kramer explained that he planned to eventually divide the four-story structure into several business areas, including space for a restaurant and antique shop. The rezoning is necessary, he said, because the county zoning ordinance does not allow restaurants as a special permitted use in an agricultural district. “I’m not concerned about the mill itself,” responded planner Newbill Miller. “I am concerned about rezoning the property east of the mill that lies in flood plain.” He reported that Paul Sinclair of Amissville had also recently applied to the Washington Town Council for a special use permit to operate a restaurant in the Lake Motel. "I just want you to know that you'll have competition." Miller added. Kramer acknowledged that he knew of Sinclair's plans. In response to the flood plain concern, he said he intended to use that portion of the property for parking only. If the flood plain land is zoned commercial. Miller countered, any activity being pursued in the business districts of Sperrwille, Flint Hill and Woodville would be allowed by right. “I w'ould frankly hesitate to zone that flood plain commercial," he said. jurisdiction, mandatory dedication of real or personal property for public facilities, or payment for offsite improvements. The conditions must be related to the physical development or operation of the property and must conform with the jurisdiction’s comprehensive plan. Conditional zoning can remove doubts about rezoning approval by answering questions on site features or impact on adjacent area. For example, in Fairfax County a landowner seeking rezoning on 13.8 acres from residential to commercial offered to include additional buffer zones and additional setback and agreed that, except for utilities, the development would not disturb flood plain areas. Conditional zoning can eliminate much guesswork and as a result decisions need not be made by considering all possible uses allowed in a zone or on the worst possible case. For a locality to have conditional zoning, an amendment must be made to the existing zoning ordinance. In addition, conditional zoning may not be enacted without a comprehensive plan. Kramer did not have a plat (Continued on Page 2) Conditional Zoning Planner E. P. Luke suggested the possibility of conditional zoning, an option created during the past session of the General Assembly. (Under conditional zoning, a landowner applying for a rezoning may voluntarily offer in writing certain conditions which regulate laud use. According to the Code of Virginia, the rezoning itself must create the need for the conditions and the conditions must relate to the rezoning. The conditions can not include cash contributions to the Welfare Dept. Loses 1 wo The Rappahannock Welfare Department will lose 17 years of experience by the end of May. Juanita Miko turned in her resignation earlier this month, effective May 15, and Ellen Mustoe will leave the department as of May 31. Mustoe has been with the Rappahannock Welfare Department since June, 1%9, as a social worker. A graduate of Madison University with a degree in social work, Mustoe will take over new duties as probation counselor for Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties. She will continue to reside in Flint Hill. Miko. a resident of Washington, began work with the Welfare Department here in January, 1972, as eligibility worker for general relief and aid to dependent children clients.

Old Mill Rezoning (Continued from Page 1) for the planners’ inspection showing the property lines of the triangular shaped tract of land. He said, however, that county engineer Fanning Baumgardner was doing survey work for the plat and would have it completed prior to the public hearing. I’m not looking for a rush job...but we have a time limit (60 days from the April 29 signing on the contract with Col. Earl Holmes) said Kramer, adding that the contract was contingent on the rezoning. State law requires that rezonings be advertized for two consecutive weeks with public hearing scheduled not less than five nor more than 15 days following the second advertizement. Miller noted that, even with the planning commission’s cooperation in setting the earliest possible hearing date, Kramer wouldn’t be able to get the necessary approvals within 60 days since the board of supervisors must also«-i<ivertize for two weeks and Student-Built Home For Sale There will be an open house on Memorial Day weekend. May 26, 27 and 28. from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at the student built home completed by students from Piedmont Technical School.

Several local people sell the berries and Rappahannock has one pickyour-own berry farm. Jerry Jenkins, Woodville and Elsie Gheen, Amissville both sell strawberries already picked. Miriam Harris, Huntly has pick-your-own organically grown strawberries. Ask around in your area for others - there may be more that I am unaware of. If you decide to pick yotir own, always break the stem by pinching between the thumb and forefinger. Never pull on the strawberry for pulling can bruise the fruit, loosen the cap or damage the strawberry plant. Do not remove caps or wash berries until you are ready to use them. Removal of the cap allows moisture in berries to escape. Refrigerate berries and use within 2 or 3 days. A 24 quart crate equals 12 to 16 quarts canned or 38 pints frozen. To prepare for freezing, sort, wash with cap on in cold water, drain. Remove caps. Whole Berries with Sugar. In a shallow pan, add V* cup sugar to each I quart of berries and mix thoroughly.

Lillis, assistant professor of electronics and engineering technology at Lord Fairfax Community College, will be the featured speaker at the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s quarterly meeting, Friday, June 1, at 7:30 p.m. in the court house. Lillis will talk on how to meet the upcoming energy crunch. He will present a slide show that addresses such topics as past and future energy consumption rates and patterns and projected resource availability. Lillis will also demonstrate the interrelation between Gross National Product (GNP), jobs and energy sources. His presentation will include an audio-slide film showing the work accomplished at Kuskokwin Community College in Alaska. Students there, together with their instructor, designed a house that they could afford to live in and heat in Alaska in an excellent example of what people can do for themselves. In accepting RLEP’s invitation to speak, Lillis emphasized that he doesn’t want to deliver a lecture and would like the audience to join in discussions throughout his presentation. The public is invited to attend and participate in RLEP’s program on energy needs. hold a hearing. Kramer indicated he would ask the supervisors at their June 7 meeting to advertize for a public hearing on the rezoning at their July 5 session in order to get approvals through in the shortest possible time. Kramer elaborated on his long range plans for the old mill property in an interview on Friday. If the rezoning is approved and the sales contract is finalized, step one will be to secure both the mill and the old Tastee Freeze snack bar from further damage by weather and vandals. This will mean, said Kramer, cleaning out the trash and repairing broken windows at the snack bar and replacing weather board and steps and cleaning out honeysuckle and scrub tress at the mill. Then, Kramer’s plans call for remodeling and equipping the snack bar. “I visualize a breakfast and lunch type of operation,” he said, with the building leased for operation to another party. Kramer added that he and Fisher 1 would retain some sort of control through the lease agreement to ensure that the operation met high standards. Final step will be restoration of the mill. Noting that the large building has several levels, Kramer said it would be used for several businesses. “One of the things 1 wint to do there is a restaurant...an afternoon and evening operation." He added that he would take advantage of the antiquity and atmosphere of the old mill as much as possible, including having the water wheel running again. Acknowledging that ideas for the mill restaurant are at the earliest, formative stage, Kramer said he planned it to be a family-type restaurant serving home-style American cooking. But it's much to early to think about making reservations Kramer emphasized repeatedly that the project may take several years to complete.

Often you can recognize it by the tall grass and weeds overrunning the front yard; an occasional broken window here and there. The cause of this blight is always the same - OVERPRICING! This story always has a sad ending - for the seller. Eventually, he has to reduce the price to sell. By this time, it’s too late. The good prospects have waved goodbye and bought elsewhere. The appearance and condition have deteriorated. The eventual selling price is far below what it could have realized had it been valued realistically from the outset. You don’t have to increase the “White Elephant” population. There is a safe way to establish the RIGHT price. When you’re ready to sell, see a local Realtor. He’ll know the true value and what it will bring in the market. Top price, yes! Overprice - No!

So he began a personal crusade that has culminated in a five-year project founded jointly by the Forest Service and Fish and Wildlife Service to search for panther and panther signs in the Southern Mountains. Carney reported that he spent $13,000 of his own money before he sparked the interest of federal organizations in the project. He is now employed as part of a network of contacts among state and federal resource agencies to help screen, and validate, sighting reports. Field Biologist Robert L. Downing at Clemson University, South Carolina, is Carney’s supervisor in efforts to document the existence of ! mountain lions on the East ! Coast. Until recently, it was widely believed that the mountain lion—known also as puma, panther, cougar and catamount — had disappeared from the Appalachians. But recent sightings by professional biologists, wildlife personnel and forest and park rangers indicate that the Eastern mountain lion may be Scouts See “New Worlds ” Girl Scouts from Rappahannock joined troops from 37 counties in the Virginia Skyline Girl Scout Council at Harrisonburg last weekend for the annual Region II meeting. Debby and Wendy Helmer and Kristie Johnson with leaders Pat Helmer and Janet DeRoo represented Cadet Troop 502. Junior Troop 547, led by Martha Kidwell and Cindy Pronovitch, sent 18 scouts to the day-long outing. The theme of the event was “New Worlds — New Directions.” The Rappahannock Scouts and their leaders toured four exposition units, viewing demonstrations and participating in projects. At exposition “Outer Spaces,” girls joined in sports activities, learned how to orient a compass, worked with Boy Scouts on construction projects and visited with Smokey Bear and Woodsey Owl. At “SOS Earth,” they participated in environmental games, learned about recycling and viewed a John Denver film on world hunger. In “Tomorrowland,” the Scouts explored the future of energy, designed and flew paper airplanes and tested out a multitude of career activities. At “It’s a Small World,” the girls saw a miniature United Nations featuring folk dancing, international songs and games and activities to explore diverse cultures and understand world peace. In addition, the Rappahannock Scouts toured the James Madison University planetarium. Wheel Horse Factory Authorized ■Free Mower Sale! Save >*350.

The June 1979. issue of Smithsonian Magazine details reliable sightings, including the shooting in 1976 of a young 100-pound male by a farmer near Droop Mountain State Park in West Virginia. The Smithsonian article also features several photographs of Carney at work on tracking operations. Carney said he spends from late October through April tracking mountain lions but curtails activities during late spring and summer months. “I can’t even see through the woods very far right now,” he said, explaining that it would be impossible to follow a keen eared cat undetected through the heavy underbrush. When Carney leaves on a tracking expedition, he goes prepared to camp for four days. “But I generally stay out only two days at a time since I live at the base of the park...Actually, my home has Tennis Matches Draw 80 The draw for the Rappahannock Tennis Championships, sponsored by the Rappahannock Recreation Authority, has been completed.

' Two members of the Rappahannock Lions Club were honored at the Lions state convention in Richmond last week. Bob Ingle, Secretary of the local club, received the coveted “Outstanding Secretary’s Award” and pendant for his service during the past year. And Weiland Johnson, a past president of the local club, beat out all competition to win the trophy for the lowest gross score in the Lions golf tournament. Also at the state convention, an appeal went out for host families for some of the 100 young people arriving this summer from Europe. Anyone interested in sponsoring a young man or woman from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, or Switzerland, should contact club president Howard Holschuh, at 937-4721. You need not be a member of the Lions Club. Melanie Thornhill, sponsored by the Rappahannock Lions Club, will join the largest group of Virginia youth ever to take part in the Lions International Youth Exchange program, travelling this summer to Europe. Melanie will spend five weeks as guest of a Lions Club family in Switzerland. Delegates to the state convention also voted to set up a Temporal Bone Bank, to do research and to transplant bone tissue for those suffering hearing loss. The new facility, to be located at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, would complement the two Eye Banks currently operated by the Lions of Virginia. Over $400,000 was donated this past year by state Lions Clubs to various programs for the visually handicapped. The Rappahannock Lions Club actively supports this program and the majority of its members have pledged their eyes to provide the wonderful gift of sight to a visually handicapped person. A total of over 1,200 Lions, ladies and guests attended the three day state convention in Richmond. The local delegation comprised President Holschuh, President-elect John Schultz, Secretary Bob Ingle, and Philip Butten, chairman of Zone 2, District IV. been turned into a field station for the Fish and Wildlife Service,” he added. He generally day hikes from his camp site, leaving at sunrise and returning at sunset. Carney explained that mountain lions, although primarily nocturnal animals, have been seen during all hours of the day. “I look for tracks, deer kills, scats (droppings) and den sites,” he continued. Before beginning his explorations of Shenandoah Park a year and a half ago, Carney first gathered all reported sitings and pinned them out on a topographical map. Then he started looking for signs of lions in the areas of largest sighting concentrations. Self-Portraits Sought "I’m looking primarily for travel routes so I can set up automatic cameras. That way, the lions can take pictures of themselves," he said. Carney explained that he buries trip wires and pressure pads two to three inches underground along suspected travel routes and then de-scents the immediate area so that no trace of man lingers. So farm, he hasn’t been lucky enough to get a picture but in March, 1978, he found the next-best thing—recent paw prints of a mountain lion. Carney made plaster casts of the prints and to date, they're his only concrete evidence that the cats do exist in the park. Should it be proved that the park is mountain lion habitat, Carney is concerned about the reaction of adjoining landowners. ‘‘The mountain lion is a healthy animal to have for the environment,” he stressed. Lions would prove beneficial to farmers and orchardists, he said, by keeping the number of deer under control. Carney admitted that a mountain lion will “occasionally” kill sheep or cattle but he maintained that the animal prefers deer and other wild game as prey. “I have a friend in North Carolina with three (mountain lions) as pets. He tried an experiment by putting filet mignon and deer haunch down,” Carney related. "The cats walked right over the beef to eat the deer,” he added. Carney encourages anyone who spots a mountain lion to report the sighting to him by calling 987-8810 or writing P.O. Box 69, Sperryville. He emphasized that he wants only to find the animals—not kill them. Noting that mountain lions are protected under the endangered species act, he urged hunters to telephone instead of shoot. Although he could be sent anywhere from Canada to South Carolina to track lions, Carney expects to do most of his work verifying the existence of Mountain lions in Shenandoah National Park. He was highly complimentary of the cooperation he’d received from the Park Service, particularly the management of Shenandoah Park. “Mr. Jacobsen (park superintendent), Bud Phillips, the biologist from the park, and chief ranger Larry Hake) have all been super,” said Carney. He added that park personnel had kept him supplied with permits and had given him the use of a radio to contact Phillips so the biologist can immediately verify any evidence of mountain lions that Carney finds. In addition, said Carney, the Park Service picked up part of the funding for the search project when money ran low. In explaining his fascination with mountain lions, Carney said there exists the remote possibility that the lions in the Shenandoah Park and else where in the Appalachians belong to the Eastern panther subspecies. “If they do, then they’ve made a remarkable recovery, a return from the dead. Documenting evidence that they exist is a start towards protection,” he said. “I don’t think we need to have any species become extinct. There is a place for them all,” he concluded.

This is an appropriate request for deserving and hitherto largely unhonored individuals. No one went to the war in Vietnam with banners flying and bands playing, and those who went anonymously came back the same way. The longer the war lasted the more unpopular it became, and its unpopularity seemed to rub off on the very ones who were most intimately caught up in it. It was a hard war to come home from and an even harder one to look back on. In past wars, those who fought had the support of society both when they left and when they came home. They didn't have to continually ponder why they did what they did. Society provided the answers. For Vietnam, society provided no answers—only more questions. Too often, for veterans of Vietnam, feelings of frustration and bitterness over military service have been fueled by a sense of isolation from and rejection by the general public. The Veterans Administration has adjusted its priorities to provide for the physical and mental wounds suffered by those who came home. Legislation for psychological readjustment counseling and for extention of GI Bill timelimits for educationally disadvantaged veterans have been strongly recommended to Congress. Outreach to all, Vietnam era veterans about the GI Bill is underway nationwide. Educational and vocational counseling services, efforts to reach incarcerated veterans, twenty new alcohol treatment units and other measures are in process to help these veterans. But the government alone is not able to address one problem facing Vietnam era veterans—the lack of full respect and honor for their service and sacrifice to their country. Vietnam Veterans Week is the opportunity for all Americans to express their gratitude to these veterans. We should all join the Congress and President Carter in observing it for what it is—a chance to express a nation’s appreciation to the nearly nine million men and women who served during the bitter years of the Vietnam Era. Soil Stewardship Week Soil Stewardship Week, which had its origins more than 1500 years ago, will be celebrated in Rappahannock County and throughout the United States and its territories on May 20-27, 1979, according to an announcement by Raymond R. Kite, Chairman of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. The theme for the 1979 celebration is “Interdependence,” a concept endorsed by President Carter in his foreword to the descriptive Soil Stewardship Week booklet. The booklet and accompanying Soil Stewardship Week material is distributed by Conservation Districts to clergymen, lay leaders, civic and educational organizations and individuals interested in participating in the unique celebration. The concept of Soil Stewardship had its origins in the special Rogation Days set aside by the Bishop of Vienne, France, following bad weather and earthquakes that brought crop failure and widespread hunger to much of France some 1500 years ago. The Bishop called upon the people to offer prayers and penance, and to offer humble thanks to their creator “for the priceless gifts of soil, water, air and sunshine which make all living things possible.” While we are not faced with the immediate prospect of famine or hunger in the United States today, the reasons for Soil Stewardship commemorative activities hasn’t changed very much, the sponsors believe. We still need to pause each year to express our thanks for the natural resources of soil, water and air which nurture our people and provide us with daily food and fiber necessary to carry on our daily existence. Soil Stewardship Week has been sponsored in the United States since 1955 by the National Association of Conservation Districts, in cooperation with the nation’s nearly 3,000 Conservation Districts. Speed Enforcement Expanded For Holiday Acknowledging that last year’s Memorial Day weekend was the worst since 1969 in terms of highway fatalities, the Department of State Police recently announced its plans for this year’s holiday weekend. The Department, according to Colonel D. M. Slane, will participate in Operation C.A.R.E.Interstate 95 as it did last year. However, this year’s efforts will be extended to other areas of the State as well. C.A.R.E. is the acronym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort which involves a number of states nationwide. The program involving Virginia and 15 other states from Maine to Florida is a “splinter” effort of the national program in that—for reporting purposes—it concentrates on a specific highway. “While we will continue a great deal of emphasis on Interstate 95 this year,” said Colonel Slane, "we feel it necessary to extend this program of selective speed limit enforcement to certain secondary, primary and interstate roads in other areas of the State.” There will be a significant increase in the number of troopers patrolling certain portions of certain highways where statistical reports indicate a high percentage of accidents, fatalities, speeding and other hazardous traffic violations have occurred in the past, Slane noted Slane went on to say that the State Police were particularly concerned with the increasing number of speeding violations. In the first three months of this year, troopers made 48,827 speeding arrests compared to 33,039 for the same period last year.

Izaak Walton League Meets The Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaak Walton League held its first annual meeting and Charter night dinner at the home of Judge and Mrs. Lee Bird at Washington Monday night, May 21. Organized as a nonpartisan, issue-oriented organization, the League has accepted an activist role in defending the county’s soil, forests, waters and wildlife. The members signed the Chapter’s Charter, elected a board of directors for the 1979-80 action year and adopted a program of action. The Chapter plans to: —Monitor the proposed Alpine Slide and Goode subdivision to assure that all county and state development and environmental policies are properly implemented and enforced; —Adopt, under the nationwide Save Our Streams program, outstanding county streams, to include the Rush and Jordan Rivers and monitor them for water quality changes; —Seek improved methods of disposing of the county's trash and to improve the appearance of dumpster sites; —Encourage 1980 high school graduates to participate in the Izaak Walton League summer employment program. The Chapter's central purpose is to preserve the county’s rural character by monitoring and supporting ordinance provisions and land use proposals which prevent the degredation of that rural character, according to president Robert Dennis. Program Offered The 12th annual Forestry and Wildland Resources Institute will be held June 2430 on the Virginia Tech Campus. William A. McElfresh, Extension specialist in forestry, said the five-day program, co-sponsored by Tech’s school of forestry and wildlife resources and the University’s Extension Division, is open to students 15 years or older who are considering careers in renewable natural resources. Details and applications are available from McElfresh at the Virginia Tech School of Forestry and Wildlife Resources, Cheatham Hall, Blacksburg, Va. 24061. Home Health Care Under Medicare One of the least known benefits covered by Medicare, but one potentially valuable to many people, is home health care. Home health care can be covered under either Medicare hospital insurance or Medicare medical insurance, depending on the circumstances. Home health care is for people who do not need fulltime skilled care as inpatients of a medical facility, but who do have an illness or injury that prevents them from leaving home to receive the health care they need. People who need part-time skilled health services can receive home health care from an agency, either public or private, that specializes in nursing services to patients in their home. Medicare can pay for such services as part-time skilled nursing services, physical therapy and speech therapy. For a person who needs one or more of these. Medicare can also pay for part-time services of an occupational therapist, home health aide, or medical social worker, medical supplies and appliances. Medicare cannot pay for full-time nursing care at home, drugs and biologicals. personal comfort or convenience items. meals delivered to a person’s home or homemaker services. Free copies of a leaflet, “Home Health care under Medicare,” can be obtained at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center, phone 825-3500. Home Style Supper A country supper consisting of Old Virginia ham and fried chicken will be served Saturday. May 26 from 5 to 9 p.m. at the old Forest Grove school by the members of Forest Grove Baptist Church. Dinner will be $5 for adults and $3 for children and proceeds will benefit the church. All food will be home cooked and includes, in addition to ham and chicken, corn pudding, string beans, parsley potatoes, peas, cole slaw, pickles, Jello salad, pickled beets, home made breads and pies, coffee and tea. Letters To The Editor Embarrassing Moment To the editor: The School Board Meeting Monday night became another in a series of embarrassing moments for the Board. One of the items on the agenda was review of the goals and objectives for the past year. Let’s take number six for instance. It reads, “School principals shall encourage the active participation of staff, parents and community to improve our school espirit de corps.” This review comes on the heels of our illustrious chairperson giving the edict that any high school student who was not a voting taxpayer could not attend the Board of Supervisors meeting last week that would concern the capital outlay proposal by the School Board for the High School except at the expense of points lost on academic standing. This was a coming together of the community to discuss a very important matter. What a great time to build espirit de corps in a positive and constructive way. Our young people are to be commended for the way they handled themselves positively and constructively in their statements to the Board. It the School Board was what it should be and had the right attitude toward our young people and realized what a great resource they are for our community, they could have done the community of Rappahannock a great, service. On top of that, they reviewed with great caution and haste number seven of the goals and objectives, which reads. ‘‘The Superintendent will develop a positive attitude in the community and through the media." How can you ask the Superintendent to accomplish that when you are constantly undermining it? The Superintendent, as you noted, is working in every way he can to accomplish this but you are giving him no help. And you can’t ask one man to do it all. Another item on the agenda for the evening was the evaluation of the Superintendents. I notice you did not give them or the public any opportunity to evaluate you as you did last year.

Va. -I , 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 file briefs, then they should file 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.0. Box 1197, Richmond, Virginia 23209. Also a copy of the Protest should be sent 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 »PP*ar at 9:45 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. Persons intending to appear and speak on their own behalf should so notify the Commission by writing to the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission.

Thomas Third In State Ann Thomas was the lone Panther to bring home a ribbon from the Virginia Group A track championships held last Saturday, May 19, in Crozet. Ann finished third in the two-mile run with 12:13.1. The winning time and new meet record of 12:01.5 was turned in by Susan Earles of Shawsville High School. The Lady Panthers didn't do as well in the state meet as coach Ann Speiker expected. “Ann Thomas had difficulty with a hip injury and did not place in the mile. She limped to her third place finish in the two-mile,” said Speiker. Rhonda Wiley won her trials in the hurdles but only placed seventh in the finals while Natalie Swindler ran fourth in her trials. Liz Freeman, who reached top form in first place finishes at end of season meets, did not place in the 880. Jennette Beebe, another consistent winner for the Lady Panthers, and Donna Gore threw the discus in the low 90’s—not far enough to place in the finals. Tammy Atkins was unable to get a measured discus throw. In placing seventh, Johanna Day cleared 5’ in the high jump, an event dominated by state record holder Allison Stone of Luray. At the state meet, Rappahannock athletes vied with 552 students representing 118 teams. RCHS qualified nine individual competitors and an 880 relay team for the state meet following regional trials held at James Madison University on Saturday. May 12. At the regional meet, Rappahannock girls placed fourth with 52 points. Stonewall Jackson was first with 102, Central-Woodstock second with 69 and Luray third with 64. The boys track team had only Rodney Cook and Carl Jordan competing in the regionals. Both qualified for the state finals with fifth and sixth place finishes in the long jump. At the regional meet. Lady Panther Liz Freeman was first in the 880 (2:30.1), winning a birth in state competition. Ann Thomas placed first in the two-mile (12:05.9) and second in the mile. Jennette Beebe was third and Tammy Atkins fifth in the discuss. Johanna Day third in the high jump. Ronda Wiley third and Natalie Swindler sixth in the hurdles and Rappahannock's team of Swindler. Jackie Myers. Janice Aylor and Lynnell Prudham fifth in the 880 relay. Coach Speiker complimented the outstanding performances turned in by her girls throughout the season. “The varsity team is made up of a very determined group of young ladies. It was their team spirit and unity that made them successful," she said. Boys track coach Terr) Finch noted that several team stand-outs will be graduating this June. “But we have reliable talent.

Lion Clyde Johnson of Woodville made the presentation to Molly McCoy and Gwen Jordan. First Aid Critical For Snakebite Poisonous snakes don't go around looking for people to bite, but when approached too closely, a snake will defend itself. A master of camouflage, a snake can strike before its victim ever sees it. About 45,000 snakebites are reported a year in the United States, one-fifth of them poisonous. Although only about 12 of these are fatal. chances of disfigurement and crippling are high if the proper treatment is not followed. Most poisonous snakebites are made by rattlesnakes, water mocassins, and copperheads. A few are made by the fourth major poisonous snake in the country—the coral snake—found in the southern states. More than half of all venomous bite cases occur in Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Cold Treatment Out First aid for snakebites is changing. The oncerecommended cold therapy, using cold compresses, ice. or spray refrigerates, is no longer advised. Dr. Charles H. Watt Jr. of Thomasville. Ga., a surgeon who has extensively studied snakebite treatment, reports that cold treatment actually may increase the likelihood of disfigurement or amputation. The American Red Cross and the American Medical Association now also discourage cold therapy. What should be done in the field for a snakebite victim? According to Dr. Watt: 1. Get him to a hospital immediately. Meanwhile. keep the victim calm, preferably lying down with the bitten extremity at or below heart level. If the snake can be killed without risk of another bite, it should be brought along to the hospital for identification. 2. Apply a constricting band 2 to 4 inches above the bite but not around a joint (elbow, knee, wrist, or ankle) and not around the head, neck, or trunk. The band should be three-fourths to l‘/i inches wide, and snug, but loose enough to slip a finger underneath. 3. If the victim is more than l'/i hours from medical help or if a dangerous snake, such as a rattler, is the offender, immediately use incision and suction. As much as half of the venom can be removed if this is done within three minutes, and a lesser amount within 30 minutes. It is of no value, however, after 30 minutes. The cut should extend over the fang marks and should be about one-eighth inch deep and no longer than one-fourth inch. The cut should be made along the long axis of the limb and should not be made on the head, neck, or trunk. Suction should be applied with a suction cup for 30 minutes, or if a suction cup is not available, with the mouth. The venom should not be swallowed and the mouth should be rinsed afterward. Do not give the victim alcohol, sedatives, aspirin, or other medication. If breathing stops or if the victim has no pulse, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. A snakebite kit should be carried on outings in snakeinfested areas. If such an area cannot be avoided, wear protective clothes such as mid-calf boots, long pants, and mid-forearm gloves.
