STLIBRARY Washington. Virgini^_ _l‘luuui-0-,-.>-*1349—~ 20e Social Workers Funds Denied Few Comments On Budget By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Supervisors proved at last Friday’s public hearing that they can keep their constituents quiet and presumably happy by avoiding a tax increase. There were no comments from the public at the June 22 hearing on the county’s advertised budget of $2,344,234. The proposed 1979-80 budget calls for a tax rate of $4.20 per $100 of assessed value—the same level of taxation as the current year. The only requests presented at the public hearing came from Welfare Director Elizabeth Buntin, Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer and Sheriff W. A. Buntin. Mrs. Buntin asked the Supervisors to restore $9,290 cut from the Welfare budget. She noted that the amount equals the salary of the second social worker approved by both the state and local Welfare Boards. “How many people do you have in your office now?” asked Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke. “Six—this would make seven,” Mrs. Buntin answered. Acknowledging state approval of the new position, Luke maintained that the department’s current staff was not overworked. As evidence supporting his opinion, he cited lack of overtime put in by Welfare employees. “Do you expect overtime work?” Mrs. Buntin asked. “I sure do,” replied Luke. “How do you know we don’t work overtime?” Mrs. Buntin countered. “I go by (the Welfare office) at 4 or 4:30 and there’s no one there,” Luke claimed. “Col. Luke, that’s not true. We’re there to 5 p.m.,” responded Mrs. Buntin. “We expect more,” the Supervisor Chairman continued. He noted that the Supervisors had been sympathetic to the Sheriffs Department’s requests for additional personnel because deputies worked upwards of 70 hours a week. “When they yell, we listen,” he said. “I’m not convinced that six people can’t handle the job (in the Welfare Department),” Luke added, maintaining that it was the "privilege” of administrators to put in hours of unpaid overtime. “The State Department of Welfare largely controls what we do and they say we need another position,” Mrs. Buntin said. “They expect us to work only 40 hours a week with occasional overtime.” She added that part of the overtime work required of Welfare personnel comes in answering emergency night calls. Supervisor Dick Latham, who is also chairman of the local Welfare Board, noted that it takes several people to complete the screening required on welfare recipients. He added that he supported the social worker position because he felt the additional employee could help welfare recipients become productive members of society. Mrs. Buntin reported that the State Welfare Department has received several complaints from other agencies on the Rappahannock department’s delay in processing cases. In addition to the funds for a second social worker to alleviate this delay, she asked the Supervisors for money to cover a rent increase of $600 per year for the Welfare offices. She told the Supervisors that an extra $920 would bring the local share of welfare costs up to the level approved by the state. “That includes the other person you’ve been talking about. It will take care of the whole thing,” interjected (Continued on Page 2) In F armer s Market By PHILIPPA KIRBY Rappahannock >cws Special Writ**" When Truman J. Keesey was a young man, he decided that he wanted a career with a goal that would take him all his life to complete. So he focused his attentions on the Diplomatic Corps, and emerged from George Washington University with an M. A. in Government. But at this point, he became sidetracked: for 45 years, Keesey has been energetically involved in public relations of almost every description, and even now, he is actively participating in local affairs. For a decade or so, there had been continued vague talk about the formation of a Farmer’s Market Cooperative in Rappahannock County. However, it was not until Keesey, a newcomer to the county, took interest in the project that anything was actually decided upon and put into operation. Says Keesey about the creation of the Market: “The interest was there, but was lying dormant.” Keesey has always had an interest in co-operatives. He seems them as a form of grass roots production through which people who can create and produce have a direct line to the consumer. He has been the prime force of motivation behind the market, doing much of the organization himself, though he is quick to add: “I do the things that 1 know how to do—but there are a lot of things that I don’t know how to do.” Keesey says that part of his overall intention is to increase the interest among people in the area in having their own produce gardens. He was surprised to find, when he made an investigation into the matter, that there were not many vegetable gardens in existence. But now, with a real outlet for home grown produce, people are starting to become more involved, and the numbers of gardens with saleable goods have grown substantially. In fact, Keesey has a sizeable vegetable plot himself now. Interest Increasing The Market has been very successful so far, selling not only produce, but also baked goods and crafts. Keesey had hoped that the Market would provide a way to supplement the limited fixed income of many old people, and it has, indeed, done just that. He explains that many older peole don’t have the same opportunities as they once had, nor can they compete for jobs against young people. The Market was originally sponsored by the Senior Citizens Council, and Keesey, who is President of (Continued on Page 2) THE PUSH WHICH STARTED the Rappahannock Fanners Market came from Truman Keesey of Washington, center, who chats with vendors Mrs. Marshall Burke and Mrs. Alvin Atkins at the market site west of Washington. Fourth Celebration Begins At 10 A.M. The theme of this year's Fourth of July celebrations in Washington is “Space,” and it looks as though the festivities will become the largest county-wide entertainment to be held in several years. Activities will begin at 10 a.m. and will end with the traditional firework display at 9 p.m. And to stress the theme of the 4th, there will be hot-air balloon rides for anyone who wants them. It is hoped that all Rappahannock residents will come and enjoy the day—in fact, how can anyone let such a chance to have fun slip by: The day-long activities r-tll include the first annual Blue Ridge Antique and Classic Car Show, arts and crafts from throughout the county and northern Virginia, bluegrass music, fire engine rides and many other attractions. Nancy Ryan’s Rappahannock County TShirt will also be revealed for the first time on the 4th, and will be on sale for the whole day. The sales will benefit the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, which is cosponsoring the event with the Washington Business Council. The celebration replaces the fire department carnival this year. There will also be a White Elephant Sale for the benefit of the Trinity Episcopal Church. A number of valuable items will be on sale, including an old mantel from a Rappahannock home. The Rappahannock Library will feature its annual used book sale, there will be political speeches in front of the courthouse, and various local farm and food organizations will have displays of animals and crops. A chicken barbecue dinner will take place in the evening, followed by the traditional fireworks at Avon Hall. Many other games, rides, events and displays will round out the day. The evening program at Avon Hall will begin at 5:30 p.m., when Dr. Russell J. Parkinson, FAA licensed Commercial pilot for hot-air balloons will begin inflating his 65-x35’ orange and yellow balloon named “Hug-inland.” He and his crew will be airborne by 6 p.m., and they will be prepared to take passengers aloft to see Washington as the birds do. These will be restricted, tethered flights, so don’t worry about soaring off into the wild blue yonder. While the balloon takes people up and down, the Fife and Drum Corps will provide the proper drum rolls. This is the third year that the group has come to Washington, so many already know how Early Deadline Due to the July 4th holiday, the Rappahannock News will go to press early. Deadline for news and ads will be 5 p.m. on Monday, July 2. entertaining and professional they are. At 6:15 p.m., children 12 and under will have their racing competitions by the lake, which will be managed by William “Yogi” Bear Jr. and his Boy Scout Troop. The winners will receive cash prizes. Just before the fireworks begin at 9:00 p.m., “Hug-inland” will be pulled out of the sky, providing an endless expanse of space for the display—which will be managed by Hubert Gilkey III from Chester Gap. There will be free parking in the lot by the new firehouse, east of the village near Rt. 211. To ease congestion, those driving to Washington are urged to use this area rather than to try to park on the streets. It is suggested that those who plan to spend the evening on the slopes of Avon Hall approach from Gay Street by the Court House at the monument. Family groups and picnic supper groups can find good places to watch the excitement of the evening best from there, or from the road side area. Spectators are asked not to set off any of their own fireworks as there will be plenty in the display, and detonation in the crowd may cause accidents. There will be trash cans provided for the audience’s convenience, so please use them. DeMent Served Warrant On June 19, Zoning Administrator Evan McNear obtained a warrant for Sperryville antique dealer P. E. Steve DeMent, charging DeMent with failure to obtain a building permit for a structure costing $500 or more. The action came after a June 15 deadline set by the Board of Zoning Appeals passed without DeMent modifying his new building so that it complies with the special use permit originally issued for its construction. DeMent’s building permit was revoked by the BZA in June, 1977. The revocation was subsequently upheld by Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead in August, 1978. In a letter dated May 15, 1979, the BZA notified DeMent that the addition to his antique business was an “unlawful structure” and must therefore be modified to meet requirements set forth in the original special use permit. The permit issued in April, 1977, stipulated a 70-foot by 40-foot addition built as an extension of the existing building. According to the BZA, if a 70-foot long addition had been constructed (Continued on Page 3) Eldred, Eastham Appointed To School Board By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Charles J. Eldred of Washington and Robert W. Eastham of Flint Hill were appointed to the Rappahannock School Board by the Electoral Trustees Monday at a reconvened meeting in the elementary school. Eastham was appointed to a two-year term as the representative from Wakefield District, replacing Paul Nichols. Eldred will serve a four-year term from Hampton District, filling the seat held by Arthlinda Quaintance. Eastham’s appointment appeared to come as a surprise to the handful of people in the audience Monday night. The Trustees first met last Thursday, June 21, at an advertised public hearing for the stated purpose of “considering the School Board membership” from Wakefield and Hampton Districts. At that time, the only name put forward in nomination from Wakefield was that of the incumbent, Paul Nichols. For the Hampton seat, three candidates were publicly nominated: incumbent Arthlinda Quaintance, Henry Hudson and Eldred. The Trustees, after a brief caucus, recessed Thursday’s session “to give full consideration to all the candidates presented tonight.” At the opening of Monday’s reconvened meeting. Trustee Chairman C. E. Johnson acknowledged that the three-member board had met previously and reached its decision on the appointments. “We’ve really met,” agreed Trustee Christine Johnston. Before reporting the Trustee’s decision, Johnson announced that they had agreed to limit school board members to three consecutive terms. He added that the representative from Wakefield District would be appointed for just two years in order to stagger terms and reduce the number of vacancies occurring at one time. According to Johnson, Robert W. Eastham was chosen by unanimous vote with Trustee Granville Eastham abstaining. (Granville Eastham is the brother of Robert Eastham.) Charles Eldred was ap CET A Program Instituted By PHILIPPA KIR BY Rappahannock News Special Writer The CETA (Comprehensive Employment Training Act) program which is operating out of Washington this summer promises to be very successful. The aim of the program is to find summer employment for youths between the ages of 14 and 22 in non-profit organizations, and, explains Mary Carter, Summer Counselor for the Rappahannock County program, to find a worksite “that's as career oriented as possible.” The youths employed are selected on the basis of family income. They apply for jobs through the Virginia Employment Commission, and are then put in touch with their local office of CETA. Youngsters are asked for some indication of where their interests lie, and from this information, CETA tries to locate employment in that field, or in a field as closely related as possible. All the jobs undertaken by the youths include a large proportion of training and counseling. There are now four on-the-site counselors working with CETA. Thirtytwo hours of each week are spent in actual work, at the minimum wage of $2.90 an hour; seven hours are used for training the employee, and one hour a week is taken up in counseling done by the job site supervisors. This summer, CETA is engaged in finding work for 25 youths in the Rappahannock area, 20 of whom are already employed. Places of employment include the local schools (where eight youths are now working), the library, county offices, and firerescue departments. The two CETA employees at the library, says Mrs. Truman Keesey, are “very helpful.” Right now, they are taking an inventory of all the books in the library, and are typing catalogue cards for both those books which were not filed before, and gifts given to the library which wefe previously not catalogued, Two CETA youngsters are also employed at the Mental Health Ginic, and are learning to deal with most aspects of clerical work. In addition, they are doing light janatorial tasks, and are engaged in outside special projects. Becky Burke, Office Director at the Clinic, says that the youths are “industrious”, and “willing to work.” Dr. Rob McDaniel, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, reports that the youngsters who are working at the schools have, so far, been doing very well. They are providing much needed extra manpower, particularly for the custodial staff, who are now trying to give the schools a summer cleaning. There are four CETA employees in the elementary school who are cleaning the floors and windows. It is very much a learning experience (Continued on Page 3) pointed in a split decision with a two to one vote, Johnson continued. Asked how the vote broke down, Johnson initially declined to say on the grounds that the decision was made in executive session. "We discussed personalities," he added maintaining that the Trustees were only required to report results. Then, in a reversal of his position, he acknowledged that his had been the dissenting vote cast against Eldred. With no comment from the audience, the Trustee meeting was adjourned. (Continued on Page 3) Adult Reading Program Set ‘‘Introduction to American Literature" will be the topic of this year’s summer adult reading program, sponsored by the Rappahannock County Library. Brady Corrothers, retired English teacher from Fairfax County High School, will again lead the six hour-long sessions to be held Tuesdays from 10 a.m. until 11. beginning July 17. Selections scheduled for group discussion include "Essays of Emerson" by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, "Benito Cereno” by Herman Melville. "The American" by Henry James, "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald and "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway. Deadline to sign up for the summer program is July 9. Interested persons may stop by the library or call at 6753780. A fee of $20 will be charged to cover the cost of books, available at the library on July 10. Those planning to participate should finish Emerson’s essays “Divinity School” and "Self Reliance" before the first session on July 17. For further information, contact the Rappahannock County Library. Samson Graduates Cum Laude Nestor G.

By a four to one vote with Latham in opposition, the Supervisors allocated an additional $120 to the Welfare Department to cover the local share of the $600 rent increase. Sheriff W. A. Buntin met «vith more success on his budget request. He asked for and received an extra $790 for the increase in secretary’s salary already approved by the State Compensation Board. He explained that the increase would be partially balanced by a $150 decrease in insurance premiums for department personnel, bringing the net total to $640. The Supervisors also approved Dr. William Bloomer’s request on behalf of the School Board to carry over approximately $61,000 from the current school budget for expenditure in 1979-80 fiscal year. Bloomer explained that $31,000 will be used to purchase two buses ordered last year but not delivered to date. He added that he also expected around $30,000 above what had been anticipated in the final quarterly payment of sales tax revenue from the state. “You could easily burn that up in the cost of fuel," noted H. B. Wood. “We could also use some for maintenance projects at the high school and to modify the elementary school’s heating controls,” Bloomer added.

In response to a suggestion from Wood, Bloomer indicated that the shop closet used for building trades classes last year would be remodeled with a window and fan installed. He also said that he’d investigated renting or buying used trailers rather than purchasing the three new units included in the proposed 1979-80 school budget. According to Bloomer, renting wouldn’t be economically justified since it would cost approximately the same amount as purchasing. As for buying used trailers, he reported that he’d been unable to find a school division with any units for sale.

City Or Country Mouse You remember the story of the City Mouse and the Country Mouse, but I’ll tell you a story about a country mouse who got “citified” and chose an Amissville mail box for her high-rise apartment. Mrs. Catherine Gollaher has had a terrible time with her tenant who chews up the mail and makes a nest from the paper and settles herself in a cozy corner of the mailbox for some city livin’. This has happened twice, the last time an invitation from a friend was gnawed all around the edge of the envelope and through the middle of the invitation until it was hardly legible. However, her postman, Red Payne rallied to the cause after the first incident. The next mail delivery day he found the small rodent huddled in the corner and evicted the culprit. To no avail, she returned and was evicted the second time, permanently, with a stick. Truman Keesey (Continued from Page 1) the Council, played a large part in the formation of this group as well. Keesey is originally from the Pennsylvania Dutch Country. he went to Washington, D. C. on a football and basketball scholarship, and graduated from G. W. in 1934. After the war, he began to concentrate on work in public relations. His career in public life has been broad and varied. While he concentrated mostly in the field of publi^ relations, he has also been Schlabach Nominated On Saturday May 12, the Democrats from the 26th Senatorial district had their nominating convention in Harrisonburg at the RionBowman VFW Hall. Shad Soloman (D-Hot Springs) was the keynote speaker. Luray attorney Robert Janney made the nominating speech for W. E. “Ernie" Schlabach. Dr. Schlabach in his acceptance speech stated his goals were to pull the Democratic party together, to represent all the people, and provide the voters with a choice. Some of the issues brought up were honesty in government, annexation, electric rates, education, and farming. He concluded by asking the Democratic party to close ranks and all pull together for a successful campaign.

He worked in television and covered a variety of subjects, but was particularly interested in current affairs. In 1955, he collaborated on the writing and production of a series on rehabilitation, which was kinescoped for national use. He was also closely connected with a series on aging mentioned in two national awards sent to the presenting station. Keesey was the first Public Information office in the District of Columbia government, from 1959 to January 31, 1966. He worked, at various times, with Mrs. Arthur Goldberg, Mrs. W. Willard Wirtz and Mrs. Robert S. McNamara. In 1962, Keesey received the People to People Citation, which was given in recognition of his work in the field of local government. He was involved in the first conference of international local governments. There has also been time, in this energetic career, for Keesey to write two SpanishEnglish vocabularies, in colaboration with others. Both books were very successful. He has also tutored Latin American diplomats in English, and has taken numerous foreign delegations on tours of the capital. Truman Keesey is a very energetic and lively man. He is articub e, and eager to talk about his life in public work. He has kept scrap books of his career, and they are filled with pictures of behind the scenes television work, interviews with various notable people, and social and business functions. The scrap books are, in fact, a unique representation of what was going on in the early sixties, what the major issues were, and who were the most influential people. There are a series of photographs showing Jackie Kennedy with groups of orphaned children. Keesey recounts the story of that PRINCIPLES OF REAL ESTATE 2-Week Courses (Days! 5 or 7 Wk.

Then, all of a sudden, as she was preparing to go, a small child piped up from the front of the crowd, “What did you bring us?” At that point, the First Lady smiled a broad grin, took off her long, white gloves, and asked for the gifts that were to be given to the children. She started to hand them out herself, and the photograph shows her, in a thrpng of children,•iahghingi and with her hands full of candy and lollipops. Another group of photographs shows Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon visiting a home for handicapped children. It was Keesey’s job to coordinate the security and timing rjr the visit, and he says that it was far from easy to manage the numerous facets of the tour. Keesey’s life has been one filled with a great assortment of jobs and interests, and he is obviously very proud of the work that he has done. And the fact that he has involved himself so deeply in the affairs of Rappahannock County, and with such success, is evidence of his great ability in his field. Perhaps it was better that he didn’t decide to pursue work in the Foreign Office. If he had, he could have become an Ambassador to Guadeloupe, or Afganistan, and the Rappahannock Farmer’s Market might never have gotten off the ground. r Cook Is New Pastor The Reverend M.

School Board Appointments (Continued from Page 1) Public Hearing At the earlier June 21 public hearing, Granville Eastham indicated that the Trustees were considering a two-year term for one of the appointees. Eastham noted that two terms expired this year, two (Jackson and Piedmont Districts) in 1980 while no school board members would be up for appointment in 1981. He reported that the Trustees had checked with the Attorney General’s office and found it was legal to name a school board member for only two years. “Which representative will be named for a two-year period?” asked “Yogi” Bear. “We haven’t decided yet,” Johnson answered. “We can make both for four years and then next year appoint one for two years,” he added, opening the meeting to nominations from the audience. “I’d like to suggest keeping Paul Nichols. He’s proven to be very interested in the children and the schools,” stated Mary Schumaker. Peggy and Wayne Sutphin, also residents of Wakefield District, likewise endorsed Nichols, noting that they’d spoken with the incumbent and found he’d accept reappointment. Elizabeth Streagle, Ester Settle and Mary Beth Martin added that they also supported Nichols. There was no response when Johnson asked if anyone had further nominations for the Wakefield seat. Three Hampton Nominees “Yogi” Bear proposed that Charles Eldred be appointed as School Board member from Hampton. Eldred, married to the former Frances Walker, moved to Rappahannock in 1975. Bear said that Eldred had attended VPI for three years, had ten years of administrative dealings with schools and is treasurer-elect of the Rappahannock Lions Club. In addition, said Bear, Eldred has three children in Rappahannock public schools—two at the elementary and one at RCHS. Joyce DeBergh, Sharon Kilpatrick and Charlie Manson also endorsed Eldred. Kilpatrick praised incumbent Arthlinda Quantance’s “unique contribution” to the county’s schools but noted that Paul Nichols is currently the only board member with children in school. “I think we need more than one,” she said. “Charles Eldred has a long-term f BETTER THYMES " NATURAL FOODS — HERBS NEW LOCATION—306 S.

Alice R. Wood proposed that Arthlinda Quaintance be reappointed. Frances Lyne also supported Mrs. Quaintance, stating that the incumbent is an educated, experienced person with strong convictions on education. She described Mrs. Quaintance as “a now person and a then person (who ) can put it all together. She never failed her responsibilities through her husband’s long illness. I think Rappahannock would lose a great deal if we let her go now,” Mrs. Lyne concluded. "The teaching profession needs to be represented (on the School Board),” maintained Nancy Reeve. “Mrs. Quaintance has been a teacher. She can see it from that point of view,” she said, noting that none of the other board members had teaching experience. Pauline Bruce added that Mrs. Quaintance can identify with the classroom and could evaluate requests from teachers “as to whether they’re legitimate or whether they’re not so important.” Newbill Miller nominated Henry Hudson for the Hampton seat. Going over a list of suggested criteria for the selection of School Board members handed out by the Trustees at the opening of the meeting, Miller noted that Hudson is a tax paying voter. Moving to the second qualification on the list, he said that Hudson was genuinely interested in public schools “and not just since the opening on the School Board came uo.” He said that Hudson had served as chairman of the committee responsible for putting in the track at the high school, giving both leadersip and labor. Miller added that the track had been completed with volunteer work—not local tax money. " ..According to Miller, Hudson is interested in quality education, “not just meeting minimum state standards.” He praised Hudson’s “instinctive ability to make the correct decision” and noted that he managed one qf the best commercial herds of cattle in Rappahannock, Miller noted Hudson is a farmer with no outside in-’ come, adding that “it takes a smart man to make a living out of farming.” Also, he said Hudson has children in school. Between endorsements, Johnson reported that DeMent Served (Continued from Page 1) off the existing building, it would have left 50 feet between the end of the addition and the adjoining property line. Instead, DeMent built the addition as a separate building connected to the existing structure by a breezeway 24feet long, bringing the end of the addition just 20 feet from the adjoining property. A hearing has been scheduled for July 3 at 2 p.m. in General District Court.

The appointments of Eastham and Eldred to the Rappahannock School Board will become effective July 1, 1979. —Rappahannock New photo/S. Latham MISS RAPPAHANNOCK Lisa Settle of Castleton added a touch of beauty to the Amissville parade. Ladies Win At Amissville It’s a woman’s world! All of the major prizes given at the Amissville carnival went to the female gender. Patty Atkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Atkins of Amissville was awarded the thousand dollar grand prize and Miss Bobbi Dunphy, a new resident of Amissville whose parents operate Ye Olde General Store (formerly Bel Air) received the second prize of $500. The four $25 Savings Bonds went to Linda Putnam, Debbie Hopkins, both Amissville; Connie Berry and Dorothy M. Dodson, both Viewtown. Named carnival queen was Lisa Kellison with runnersup Phoebe Pierson and Tammy Smith, second and third, respectively. Other candidates were Faith Gheen and Pam Kelly.

CET A Program (Continued from Page 1) for the youngsters, since this kind of work is new to them. In the high school, there are four youths doing the same kind of work. At the end of each day, Principal Wingfield asks the workers two questions: “Does it look better than it did?” and “Does it look as good as it could look?” In the School Board office, ojie CETA worker is doing particularly well. She is typing up an application for federal funds, and, McDaniel says, without her efforts, it would be impossible to have the paper ready to present to the School Board on time. She is planning to enroll at Longwood, and is a very good worker, McDaniel reports. At the Highway Department, CETA youths are employed in maintenance work. This involves mowing lawns, cutting bushes, and painting. Doug Bywaters, Assistant Resident Engineer, says that things are going pretty well, and that the youngsters are learning as they go along. He adds that he has had no problems with CETA workers in the past. Unique Program The CETA program is unique in that it provides opportunities for learning, training, and counseling which cannot be found in more conventional job situations. If a youth has any problems concerning his job, he has the chance to work it out with his counselor, instead of just quitting out of frustration, or being forced to work at a particularly unpleasant task which he had not agreed to handle when he began. Each youth is also covered by the Child Labor laws, which is important since the program offers 14 and 15 year olds employment. CETA directors also ensure that each youth working in the program is receiving minimum wage. The program has both short and long term aims. It is an easy way to earn a large sum of money, and some youths employed through CETA are working to earn enough to return to school. But all of those who are placed in jobs are receiving training in attitudes, and training in a specific field of employment, which will be of benefit whatever they decide to do when the summer is over. CETA publicizes itself through school counselors, and through a certain amount of advertising in newspapers. They also receive a lot of free publicity, however, from those who have worked through them in past summers. Perhaps their best advertisement is the fact that the youths come back to get jobs from them again. Obviously, this is a very real statement of the Program’s progress, which should, with continued enthusiasm, become a great success. THE OFFER TO BUY You are selling your home. A prospect inspects it, likes it, and decides to make an offer. You can depend on human nature. He will try to have you accept an offer lower than your asking price. Now what? First of all, if you are going to even consider an offer, it must be in writing and signed. It must have a definite time limit, and it should be accompanied by a respectible amount of the buyer’s money as an indication of his sincerity. The specific amount will depend on the value of your home, the mortgage market and the buyer’s financial condition. Respect your Realtor's advice on this subject. Once these elements are fulfilled, it’s up to you to either accept his lower offer, reject it outright, or make a counter offer to sell somewhere between the two. Just remember, if it’s not in writing and accompanied by a reasonable amount of money-taking your house off the market would be poor judgment.

Inc THURSDAY, JUNE 28,1979 Apology Deserved The Welfare Department deserves an apology from the chairman of the Board of Supervisors. In denying Director Elizabeth Buntin’s request to restor $9,290 to the Welfare Department’s budget, E. P. Luke stated that her staff did not work hard enough. He announced that he’d driven by her offices at 4 p.m. or 4:30 and found the building deserted. Before the Supervisors approve an additional social worker’s salary, Luke said the board expected overtime work from Welfare personnel. We’ve got new for Col. Luke. Mrs. Buntin and the rest of the women on the Welfare staff are already taking full advantage of an administrator’s “privlege” to put in unpaid hours of overtime. As next-door neighbors to their office, we’re well aware of the Welfare staff’s working habits. We don’t know when Col. Luke drove by at 4 p.m. and thought he saw the office closed but we can verify that Mrs. Buntin and her coworkers don’t leave before 5 pjn. unless on Welfare business. If Luke based his statement on the absence of cars in front of the building, he should have taken the time to check further. Mrs. Bun tin and eligibility worker Janice Moffett both live in Washington. They walk to work, arriving every day by 8:15 at the latest. Both frequently stay past 5 pjn. or return to the office in the evening. Often, both come in on weekends. We see Mrs. Buntin go by our window, particularly at budget time when she tackles the Title XX plan, with her arms full of papers and notes. We doubt if she’s lugging her files home to impress us with her dedication. Food Stamp worker Nancy Reeve has been plagued with car problems this year and last. For weeks at a time, she’s been forced to rely on her husband to bring her in tqthe office at 7 a.m. and pick her up at 7 p.m. What does she do during those long 12-hour days? She works. Juanita Miko and Ellen Mustoe, both recently resigned from the Welfare Department, left the office frequently on business trips, taking their vehicles with them. Their positions as social worker and eligibility worker required them to make home visits as well as attend workshops and seminars. Both put in weekend hours and, with the rest of the staff, frequently worked on federal and state holidays when the office was officially closed. Miss Mustoe was due 96 hours of overtime pay upon her departure from the Welfare Department—time she accumulated since the beginning of the year. In addition, Rappahannock received 81 days of bonus time from Miss Mustoe. She was ineligible for payment of sick leave accumulated during her ten years with the department because the county doesn’t have a personnel policy. When Col. Luke reached his conclusion on the hours the staff puts in by counting the cars parked in front of the building, he also failed to take into account that Food Stamp assistant Dorothy Rector parks her sedan on the other side of the street, directly across from the News office. If the Supervisors want to cut the Welfare budget, that’s their prerogative. They needn’t justify thenactions, however, by casting a slur on the dedication of the Welfare staff. Backroom Deals, The Electoral Trustees pulled the rug out from under the people in Wakefield District on Monday with the appointment of Robert W. Eastham to the Rappahannock School Board. At an advertised public hearing held last week for considering School Board appointments, Wakefield citizens who attended were unanimous in their support for incumbent Paul Nichols. No other names were mentioned. Nichols has represented Wakefield for 20 years. Maybe that’s too long. It’s probably a good idea to limit consecutive terms to three, as the Trustees announced they would do in the future. But if they felt that Nichols had stayed past the time for him to leave, they should have announced that they wouldn’t consider him for reappointment. Or, in view of the support he’s earned from people in his district, the Trustees could have named Nichols to a two year term and served notice that he wouldn't be reappointed at the end of that period. Either way, Wakefield residents could have rallied behind an alternative candidate, knowing that the man who had ably represented them for so long was no longer in the running. The Trustees did not indicate at the public hearing on Thursday that they were recessing to consider any other names than the ones presented that night. How could they expect to have input from Wakefield citizens on unnamed candidates? Robert Eastham may be a fine man and he may turn out to be an excellent choice for the School Board but he certainly doesn’t fit many of the criteria by which the Trustees supposedly judge prospective board members. He’s a native of Rappahannock but has only just returned to the county after a longtime residency in the Virgin Islands. He’s been back for a little over two years and in that time, has attended one School Board budget meeting. How does that demonstrate a genuine interest in our public school students and system? It’s true that he’s a taxpayer but he’s not yet a landowner and only just moved to the district that hell represent. Eastham has no children attending the schools that hell help to run. In addition, he’s the brother of one of the three Trustees responsible for the appointment of School Board members. Reportedly, Trustee Granville Eastham abstained from voting on his brother’s appointment, meeting the letter—if not the spirit—of conflict of interest laws. Eastham’s appointment is in sharp contrast to Judge Rayner V. Snead’s decision last year. In considering nominations for the Trustees in July, 1978, Snead declined to appoint Mrs. Ruby Cannon because he felt her husband's business association with School Board member Paul Nichols created the “potential” for a conflict of interest. If Robert Eastham had been on the board at that time, we seriously doubt that Judge Snead would have appointed his brother as Trustee. Finally, the Trustees’ action on Monday night violated the Virginia Code and all accepted procedural rules. Chairman C. E. Johnson announced the School Board appointments as the results of a vote taken in an earlier executive session. He only reported how the Trustees voted when pressed for the information. If the Trustees reached their decision in executive session as indicated by Johnson, who made the motion to go into executive session and for what reason? Who subsequently made the motion to return to open session and where is the vote recorded? Not in the minutes of the Trustees’ meeting. Also missing from the minutes is any record of who nominated Eastham and Charles Eldred and who seconded the motions. Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act requires any vote taken in executive session to be repeated in open session. If the requirement isn’t met, the vote isn’t valid. This mandate was passed down from the Virginia General Assembly to protect the public from secret backroom deals. That protection flew out the window on Monday night. Farmers Market Hours Adjusted The Rappahannock Fanners Market Executive Board is expected, at its special meeting on Tuesday, 26 June to tighten up the Market’s business hours. Beginning Friday, June 29 and Saturday, June 30, the Market will open on Fridays at 12 noon, and will close at 4 p.m. On Saturdays, the hours will be 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Debby Kenny will also report for her July 4th Committee on plans for Market participation in the Sperryville and Flint Hill parades. The Market’s float won the Commercial Float Trophy in the Amissville Fireman’s Parade last Thursday, and members are considering further entries in other parades. As the season advances, squash and string beans are becoming increasingly available at the Market. KEEP RAPPAHANNOCK BEAUTIFUL in celebration of the 4th of July—The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection and other local civic groups posted this sign at the Amissville carnival last week as a reminder that clean-up week begins Saturday. Plastic bags for aluminum cans will be available at local fire departments (except Chester Gap} and at Burkes Store in Woodville on Saturday, June 30. Collected cans may be turned in to RALEP, the litter-eating dinosaur, at the Washington Fire Department on the 4th with proceeds from recycling the aluminum to benefit the county fire and rescue squads. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson COLORED CIVIL WAR PRINTS displayed by VPI home demonstration agent Nancy Secrist for Bob Treanor and Thomas Taylor are being sold by the Rappahannock County Extension Office to benefit the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center.

Steam Locomotive Coming One of the very few remaining high-speed passenger train steam locomotives in the world will pull a special public excursion train through central Virginia from Lynchburg to Alexandria over the Southern Railway mainline on Sunday, July 15, 1979. Pulled by former Canadian Pacific locomotive No. 2839 of the “Royal Hudson” series, the excursion train will leave Lynchburg at 12:30 p.m. from Kemper Street Station, then stop at Monroe from 12:40 until 2:15 to load coal and water. After leaving Monroe, the train will stop in Charlottesville (Union Station) at 3:45 p.m., Orange at 4:25 p.m., Culpeper at 5 p.m., Manassas at 5:30 p.m., and in Alexandria at 6:30 p.m., where the run will terminate at Union Station. Passengers will be able to get on and off the train at each stop, and special oneway fares have been established, with half-fares for children under 12. No reservations will be necessary for passengers traveling either short or long distances. All fares will be collected on board the train by the conductor. The train will consist of air-conditioned coaches, open-window coaches, a sightseeing car, and a refreshment car. The excursion will be a one-way trip, with passengers making their own arrangements for the return journey from each station. Many families are planning to have one family member drive to the next station up the line to pick up those who ride the train. Locomotive No. 2839 is one of the very few passenger Historical Society Elects Officers An enthusiastic group of both old and new members attended the annual meeting of the Rappahannock Historical Society June 26 at their building on Gay Street in Washington. New officers were elected as follows: President, James DeBergh Jr.: Vice Pres., J. W. Fletcher Jr.; Secretary, Mary Russell Miller; Treasurer, Margaret Baumgardner. A unanimous vote of thanks was given to out-going President, Virginia Lindstrom, for her untiring and successful efforts in restoring an old building to the Society’s use. The first floor of the building has been named in her honor. Several new committees were formed including one to landscape and improve the grounds, and others which will be an effort to preserve historical landmarks and projects to be of benefit to both the Society and the entire county. New members are welcome and are urged to contact any of the above named for information. Membership is $5.00 a couple, single adult, $3.00 and children $1.00.

Latham Contractors Required To Register Effective July 1, home improvement contractors must furnish the State Registration Board for Contractors information on the structure of their business in order to comply with new state law. The new law is the result of legislation aimed at controlling incompetent, fraudulent or fly-by-night home improvement contractors now operating throughout the state. It will allow the State Board to keep tabs on contractors by recording the location and name of the business as well as the name and address of the responsible individuals who operate the business. steam locomotives now y available for service. Built in 1937 for the Canadian Pacific by the Montreal Locomotive Works, the locomotive pulled high-speed passenger trains in Canada until 1959. Leased by the Southern Railway in early 1979 to pull many of the company’s numerous mainline excursions, No. 2839 and tender weigh more than 300 tons. The Sunday excursion will mark No. 2839’s first summer trip into Virginia during 1979. Both locomotive and train are being moved from Greensboro, NC, to Alexandria in preparation for future excursions from Northern Virginia. The Sunday trip is being sponsored by the Old Dominion chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. “We invite all in terested citizens of Central Virginia to join us in welcoming Locomotive 2839, "The Royal Hudson”, on its 1979 run through the Commonwealth,” a Chapter spokesman stated. “Everyone will be welcome to come down to the station or trackside to see this fine locomotive in action, and we hope that many parents will take advantage of this opportunity to take their children for a train ride at low cost...” Special flyers with full information and fares may be obtained by sending a postcard or letter request to “Piedmont Special”; Old Dominion Chapter, N.R.H.S.; P. O. Box 8583; Richmond, Virginia 23226. Flyers may also be picked up in Warrenton at the A & P store on the Route 15 Bypass. Once the home improvement files are set up, this information will enable the Board to collect consumer complaint data on each contractor, including nature of complaint and manner in which the contractor reponds to the complaint. The new law, Section 54145.2 of the Code of Virginia, defines home improvement contractor as any person or business who provides material or labor for repairs, improvements or additions to residential buildings or accessory structures where any payment of money or other thing of value is required. All home improvement contractors must register if the business grosses in excess of $15,000 in any year or if any work requires a building permit. Pre-addressed cards for registration will be available after July 1 from the State Board, local building inspection offices and offices of the Commissioners of Revenue. Most building materials and supplies businesses will also carry the forms. Information called for on the cards includes name, place of business, place of residence and name of registered agent for out-ofstate corporations. No registration fee is required. Contractors who currently hold a certificate with the State Board need not register as a home improvement contractor. The new law does not exempt contractors from taking out any licenses or bonds required by local ordinances. —Rappahannock New* photo/S.

Annie Moore Retires After 24 Years When Mrs. Moore walked out of her classroom on June 7, she ended a teaching career that spanned 24 years. “I haven’t taught any presidents yet,” she laughed, recalling the streams of youngsters that have poured through her doors. While Annie Moore may not have launched any students into politics, she guided her second graders on the right path for life. “She taught right attitudes,” said Mary Botts Quaintance, principal of Rappahannock elementary school for eight of the years Mrs. Moore taught there. “She was an old timey teacher who believed in the fundamentals. She was not one for frills.” Mrs. Moore’s teaching went beyond the strictly academic. Early in her career she initiated a class “Queen or King for the Day.” Going through her roster alphabetically, she bestowed ruler status on each child in turn. Along with the honor came the responsibility for each youngster knowing when it was their day and being in charge of running errands and doing other chores for the teacher. In being ruler for the day, her students learned at an early age that privileges bring duties. Mrs. Quaintance described Annie Moore as a dedicated teacher, a hard worker who was strict but always fair. “She demanded — and earned — respect,’’ Mrs. Quaintance recalled. “She had the respect not only of the children but of their parents as well,” said Miss Elsie Dodson, a teacher with Mrs. Moore at Flint Hill, Washington and the new elementary school. ‘‘She was well liked by her patrons.” Starting first as a substitute teacher, Mrs. Moore began working full-time in 1954 when Mrs. Aftnie Cooke, then principal of the Flint Hill Elementary School, was faced with a teacher shortage and asked Mrs. Moore to accept a job. “She had a high school diploma when she started teaching,” recalled Miss Dodson. “I remember her telling me years ago that she’d taken 60 hours of courses at extension schools. That was back then. I don’t know how many hours she has now... She worked very hard to improve her training in order to be a better teacher,” Miss Dodson said. Annie Moore taught a combination fourth-fifth grade class her first year at Flint Hill and then taught first grade for the next four years. When the little school closed, she moved with her students to Washington Elementary School as a first grade teacher for one year. Mrs. Moore then left Rappahannock schools for five years at Mosby Academy in Front Royal. She returned to Sperryville Elementary to teach second grade and moved to the new elementary school when it opened. "Children are children,” Mrs. Moore replied when asked if kids had changed during the quarter of a century that she’s been a teacher. Wakefield New Faculty Member Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly announces the appointment of Mrs. Mary Jane Reynolds to the English faculty of the Preparatory School. A native of Maine, Mrs. Reynolds attended schools in Virginia and received her B.A. and M.A. degrees from George Washington University in Washington, D. C. Reynolds has been a teacher of secondary school English at the Pace Academy, St. Edward School and Lake Braddock Secondary School in Fairfax County. She is also a free lance writer. Author of numerous published works, Reynolds was the 1970 winner of the Creative Writing Award of the Hollins College Literary Festival and the Rinehard Award for Creative Writing. She has been the State Manager of the University of Virginia Players and of the Hampton-Sydney Repetoire Theatre. While at Lake Braddock School, Mrs. Reynolds was the founder and sponsor of The Fourth Estate, the school’s literary magazine which won first place in the Virginia Forensic League, 1977.

At Wakefield, Mrs. Reynolds will teach English Literature, senior composition and creative writing, she will also direct the Preparatory School’s literary magazine, and hold the administrative position of Director of Public Relations. Reynolds, her daughter, and her husband, who is a cinematographer, will live at the Lodge, Wakefield Manor, Huntly. “Children are pushed harder now," she said in comparing her 1954 classroom with students today. “They are expected to learn more and learn faster... They’re taught so much more now. They’re doing what used to be fifth grade work in the second grade.” According to Mrs. Moore, children were more interested in learning during her earlier days as a teacher. In her view, today’s students have more opportunities and better materials but they also have additional activities to divert their attention from school. In the days before state mandated Standards of Quality, Mrs. Moore taught classes that ranged from 19 to 42 students. A believer in the benefits of smaller classes and even smaller instructional groups within classes, she still had no greater discipline problems in handling 42 youngsters than she had in managing 19. On her retirement, she has mixed emotions about the teaching profession. “It was a job,” she explained. “At first, it was a pleasure. I liked it. Not that I didn’t enjoy teaching (towards the end of her 24 years) but the longer you worked, the more you had to do. There was more than just teaching—there was all that paperwork... That cuts down on the actual instruction time in the classroom.” Most folks think a teacher’s day begins when the bell rings to start classes and ends when it rings a second time to dismiss the youngsters. Annie Moore knows from experience that this just isn’t the case. Teachers, she said, have to be ready for their charges at 8:30 or earlier and must stay until the kids are safely on buses home at 3:15. Then there are still six hours or so of preparation at home for the next school day. ‘‘When 3:30 came, it didn’t mean anything to Mrs. Moore,” recalled Elsie Dodson of their days teaching together. “She stayed so many days, often past 5 p.m.” "It didn't seem so long.” said Mrs. Moore in reviewing her teaching career. “But when you look back, it has been a long time.” With her days in the classroom left behind, Annie Moore plans to return fulltime to her first career as a homemaker and wife of a farmer-orchard ist. The second graders at Rappahannock Elementary School will miss her.

Youth For Understanding “If you’ve ever wanted to expose your family to an experience in international living, we can help provide that adventure for you in your own home,” says Youth for Understanding President John Richardson, Jr., Assistant Secretary of State from 1969 to 1977. The non-profit organization matches teenagers aged 14 through 18 from Europe, Latin America, Africa or Asia with compatible American families. They place students in local schools, orient families and students, provide insurance, and offer professional guidance from 20 regional offices. Since 1952, Youth for Understanding has exchanged more than 65,000 students from 50 countries. The programs stress family living as the heart of the learning experience: . student who shares in the daily life of another culture—who becomes personally involved in its homes, schools, institutions, and communities—gets to know that culture far more intimately than any tourist can. Youth for Understanding believes that international understanding will be achieved through individuals. Each time someone involved with the Youth for Understanding program experiences firsthand the values and attitudes of another society, peace and understanding among nations is advanced another step. Exchange programs have proven time and again to be enriching experiences for communities, local schools, civic organizations and citizens. Since 1972, the number of American year host families has doubled; nearly 30 per cent of this year’s current families are repeaters, some hosting their tenth student. The i families that undertake hosting a student are of all sizes and backgrounds.

Church Camp To Apply For Permit Is a church still a church when it has trailers and hook-ups for overnight recreational vehicles? And if so, is it still allowed by right in an agricultural district with no permits required from local government? Rappahannock Zoning Administrator Evan McNear drove out Route 729 to the Nationwide Holiness Campground on Tuesday to answer those questions. His trip came in response to complaints lodged with McNear and with Sheriff W. A. Buntin on activities at the campground. The church issue first came up at the May meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals. At that time, DEBBIE HELMER of Castleton, center back, was among the Girl Scout groups camping the past two weeks at the Hazel River Camp at Boston. Each day a council meeting was held with two representatives from each group participating.

L. D. Savage of the N.P.E.S. church was not in violation of county ordinances. He reported that Savage had a building permit for a tabernacle, bathhouse and pavillion—all legal since churches are a use permitted by right in an agriculture zone. Following his on-site visit on Tuesday, McNear elaborated further on the structures built at the campground. The church consists of a roof over a concrete slab with walls around only the pulpit and altar at one end. Restrooms for men and women are housed in a separate building. The pavillion, according to McNear, is intended for parish hall type of activities. During his visit, McNear also noticed "a half dozen or so” hook-ups for recreational vehicles. As the trailers were being used as residences, he advised Rev. Savage to apply to the BZA for a special use permit. “I’m convinced they felt they weren’t violating any laws,” said McNear. “Most of the trailers were there temporarily—only a day or fropertg ®fferinga Celebrate Your Independence!

They didn’t feel they were really living in them for such a short period of time.” The county’s zoning ordinance, he said, has “a gray area as far as campers are concerned.” According to McNear, Rev. Savage agreed immediately to ask the Board of Zoning Appeals for a special use permit allowing temporary hook-ups for recreational trailers. McNear explained, however, that he told Savage there was no rush since the minister assured him all trailers would be off the property by June 29 and were not expected to return for another camp revival meeting until next summer. McNear added that Savage , had also told him the church planned to install kitchen facilities at the camp.* McNear said he suggested that Savage include kitchen plans in his special use permit application.
