He plans a showing here sometime in the early fall of the photographs he s taken in Rappahannock. Photography As Fine Art By PHILIPPA KIRBY Rappahannock New* Special Writer Tim Kilby, a native Rappahannockian, defines both himself and his work by saying: “Primarily, I’m a photographic artist.” He is a photographer both by profession and by interest, and explains his ability in the medium as a “visual literacy.” Kilby s photography tails into two main areas: fine arts photography and commercial photography. It is the first of the two in which he is most interested, and he has had a number of shows of his work. These include exhibitions at the Fuller Galleries, Fairfax, the Fine Arts Gallery, Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, and the Intuitiveye Gallery, Washington, D. C. He also has a permanent collection at The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D. C. “Fine arts photography,” Kilby explains, “has little or no commercial value whatsoever.” So to support himself, and to give himself time to do fine arts photographs, Kilby does commercial work, and he also teaches at Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown. Kilby concentrates on photographing landscapes for his fine art work. He finds Rappahannock ideal for this, and says that he sees more potential photographs all around him than he can ever hope to take, and he has more negatives waiting to be printed than he thinks he will be able to deal with in the near future. Kilby rarely does portraits, and rarely includes people in Sperryville Carnival in Progress Sperryville’s annual Firemen’s Carnival opened last night for a four-night run and will feature a grand parade, tonight, Thursday, beginning at 7 p.m. Features of the two remaining nights include the crowning of a carnival queen or honorary fire chief on Friday and the awarding of prizes Saturday night. Thursday’s parade will feature bands, floats, ' marching units, majorette groups and individuals, fire and rescue equipment, antique vehicles and comics. The midway will offer thrilling rides each evening and the food stand will have a great variety of home made desserts, hotdogs and hamburgers and drinks. Join the festivities with your faily and friends. . his photographs. “I feel that I have to know the person really well to photograph him,” he explains. He has nothing against occasionally catching a person in a shot, but he is very shy of having a person as the main subject of one of his pictures. Because of his preference for landscapes. people sometimes seem to think that he has to hunt down subject matter? Vbut it’s ju*t not difficult getting photographs...It’s the arrangement of shapes and forms that interests me most,” he explains. Quite often, he finds that he gets sidetracked. For example, he will go out to take a photograph of something he had seen previously, but while on the way, he may see another subject for a photograph, and stop to take it. Then he may see another, and yet another after that, until the time has sped by and he has not even reached his original destination. Commercial photography is altogether a different matter. “Lots of times I go out and make commercial photographs and sell them later,” he explains. He may take a large number of commercial shots while on vacation, or he may set up subjects in his studio to photograph, and then he leaves the rest of the business, to his agent in Washington, D. C. Commercial photography is a very lucrative enterprise, a single photograph earning maybe $200 or more. The most immediately (Continued on Page 8) Atkins Gets Variance By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock !Ncws Staff Writer The Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved a variance on setback regulations for Levi Atkins last Thursday, legalizing the house that Atkins had already built just 30 feet from the Highway Department property line on Route 211. “1 think this is definitely a hardship on Mr. Atkins and I think there is plenty of room for confusion,” stated chairman Josef Gardiner in supporting the variance request. Atkins was issued a building permit for the house on September 12, 1978. The permit stated that the setback distance should be 75 feet. At Thursday’s meeting, Zoning Administrator Evan McNear noted that the permit was incorrect in that setback distance from Route 211, a four-lane highway, was 55 feet from the property line instead of 75 feet. Atkins' house, according to McNear, is situated 27 feet away from the fence that marks highway department property. “The right-of-way line is behind the fence,” interjected son Jack Atkins, adding that the fence had been moved when telephone lines were installed. “That adds about three feet,” McNear replied. BZA member George Muth asked McNear for his recommendation on the variance request. “I hate to see the variance laws ignored (but) I have a strong feeling that it wasn’t done intentioanlly in this case,” McNear replied. “I feel that Mr. Atkins and his sons thought they were close enough to the law.” “We just made a mistake,” Atkins said. “You had a short tape,” Admiral Gardiner joked. To avoid any confusion in the future, Gardiner said, building permits should include information as to whether, setback distance is measured from the center line or the property line of a road since requirements change depending on whether the road is secondary or primary. “Any motion that we make should include (the notation) that it not be used as a precedent,” Muth suggested. No Building Inspector "The building permit was issued late in 1978, and it's just coming up now,” said Gardiner. “There should be some way of checking on these things,” he said. “We don’t have any way,” responded McNear. “If we had a building inspector and we will one of these days...” “I hope not, I hope not,” Gardiner interjected. “One of these days we will,” the Zoning Administrator repeated. “Then he’ll be taking money under the table,” claimed Gardiner. (State law calls for counties to have a building inspector. Rappahannock’s failure to meet this mandate has been brought to the attention of the Virginia Attorney General's office in a letter dated May 2 from C. S. Mullen, Deputy Director of Building Regulatory Services. In his letter, Mullen cites section 36-105 of the Virginia Code that requires local government to enforce regulations of the Statewide Uniform Building Code. (Mullen’s involvement came after a home owner here requested an inspection by the state after learning that the county did not provide inspection. The state inspector found 15 plumbing violations. (When asked what action was contemplated, James Naggles, the assistant attorney general assigned to the matter, said he had “no comment on the case at this time.”) Has To Move Atkins told the BZA that he has to vacate the house he’s currently living in. According to Atkins, his wife dic'd recently and other members of the family are pressuring him to sell so a property settlement can be reached. Citing the hardship on Atkins, Gardiner maintained that possibility for confusion existed in the way setback distance was written on his building permit. “When this is clarified, there’ll be no room for confusion and no precedent,” he stated. “I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt,” agreed Muth before the BZA members voted unanimously to grant the setback variance. In other action, the BZA granted Arthur Schneider a special use permit for a year to locate a trailer on his five acres in Chester Gap during construction of a hous**. Special Board Meetings Dropped By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON HippAwock New* Staff Writer “When you give a man a job to do, you let him do it and then hold him strictly accountable for his performance,” stated new School Board member Robert Eastham at his first meeting last Tuesday, July 10. Eastham, in suggesting that Superintendent William Bloomer be given more opportunity to direct school affairs, introduced a resolution calling for board meetings to be limited to the 12 monthly sessions required by law. He acknowledged that special meetings could be called under extraordinary circumstances and indicated that he wasn’t opposed to special budget meetings. Eastham maintained, however, that in the past. extra sessions had been called for business that could have been handled in regular meetings or by the Superintendent in accord with policy established by the board. Eastham opposed, in particular, special sessions for student discipline cases and for legal issues involving the board. Discipline matters, he said, should be handled by the Superintendent or else acted on by the board at regular meetings. He suggested that the chairman be authorized to represent the board at conferences with legal counsel with concurrence from the board required before any action is taken. Eastham’s motion was adopted unanimously with little discussion. Later in the meeting. Charles Eldred, the second new member on the School Board, took a first step towards implementing the intent of Eastham’s resolution. “Does the School Board have a policy that offers guidelines on who is permitted to use (school) facilities and at what cost, asked Eldred during a discussion on use of the elementary school by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council. Chairman Beverly Massie answered that use of the buildings and grounds by recognized community groups was covered in the school policy manual. “If we have a comprehensive policy, is it necessary for requests to be brought before the board. Eldred continued. Right-Of-Way Acquisition Nearing By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock. New* Staff Writer School Board plans to install underground gasoline tanks at 1he bus garage moved forward a step last week. > In a letter from the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation H. M. Snead informed the board that the department would probably acquire the right-of-way for the widening of Route 211 in September or October of 1979. For several years, the board has included $800 in the school budget for installation of underground tanks. The project has been delayed, however, as the board has waited for money from the Highway Department for the current school garage site. The current site will be taken in property condemnation for widening Route 211. Also at the July 10 meeting, the School Board learned that the State Board of Education’s administrative review schedule includes Rappahannock. Superintendent William Bloomer reported that representatives will visit both the elementary and high schools during the coming Not Just A General Store By PHILIPPA KIRBY Rappahannock Newi Special Writer Anyone who has visited Ye Olde General Store in Amissville knows that it is more than just a general store. It’s a grocery store, a tack store, and a sandwich bar all rolled into one—and if its owners, Sally and Bob Dunphy get their wish, a garden center will be added to the list next year. Since the store’s opening, says Sally Dunphy, “business has been super.” Because of the wide variety of merchandise which the store stocks, it draws its customers from a large area. Local people buy their groceries there, while many shoppers come from the surrounding counties for the tack and leather goods. The Dunphys had originally intended the store to supply only saddlery, "but after we looked at the place, we deckled to combine the three,” explains Mrs.. Dunphy. The Dunphys have lived in ooth Florida and Fauquier, dealing particularly in the wholesale leather trade. Having established their contacts through the years, they are in an ideal position to maintain low prices in the Ye Olde General Store. Says Mrs. Dunphy, “We know a lot of people in the horse (Continued on Page 8) Ham Dinner Castleton Community Fire Department will have a ham biscuit dinner on Sunday, July 22 at the fire hall from 4 until 7 p.m. In connection with the dinner,,a queen contest will be held and prizes will be awarded.

Prizes given away include $200, S100 and $50. year “to see how well we’re meeting the mandated programs and guidelines” for special education. Bloomer added that he expected a written report from the state after the r,evie.w.is completed. Special education programs that will be checked include child development specialist, speech, learning disabilities (LD) resource, primary and intermediate educable mentally retarded (EMR) and secondary EMR and L. D. Dr. Bloomer explained that the review is part of the state’s Standards of Quality accountability. In a unanimous vote, the School Board approved the Title I project for 1979-80 submitted by Rob McDaniel, assistant superintendent and Candidate's Forum The Rappahannock Women’s Club will sponsor an open forum, “Meet the Candidates,” on October 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the Flint Hill fire hall. William Monroe, Rappahannock weekender and moderator of "Meet the Press” will host the program. This is being done as a public service to the community and everyone is urged to attend. All the candidates for local public office have been invited to be present and be heard. Title I coordinator. “Did you personally prepare all this..” asked board member Robert Eastham, hefting the 120 page, two inch thick project report in hi$ hand. “You didn’t get much sleep either. It’s quite a document," Eastham said. Rappahannock’s Title 1 programs for 1979-80, (Continued on Page 4) “Personally, 1 think not," Mrs. Massie responded, adding that the Superintendent should only do so if he felt “ill at ease” with the organization asking for the school use. ‘‘Then 1 suggest the Superintendent handle it administratively...in keeping with Mr. Eastham’s earlier resolution," Eldred said. He also proposed that fees for school use be reevaluated to reflect increased energy costs. Student Insurance The board tabled a decision on student insurance policies until the August meeting. In addition to Pilot Life, the company that carried school insurance last year, Bloomer reported bids from James J. J. Kelly ol Annandale and Scholastic Insurers of Tennessee. All three companies offered inschool coverage lor students at annual premiums of $4.30 on an individual basis. Bloomer added that Scholastic Insurers also provided a group plan to insure the entire student body for an annual premium of $2.10 per pupil. He noted that adoption of the group plan, with premiums paid by the School Board rather than the individuals. would eliminate bookkeeping work for teachers. Eldred attributed the 40 to 45 percent participation rate bv students in last year’s insurance plan to the fact that parents often had coverage already through their jobs. Double coverage, (Continued on Page 4) Council Contemplates Renewing Franchise At the meeting of the Washington Town Council held Tuesday, 10 July, two representatives of the Centel Telephone Company were present to negotiate the telephone franchise which they hope to renew with the Town of Washington. The proposals were read in their eniirity, with the understanding that any issues could be discussed, and perhaps altered if necessary. Included in the contract were the following points. In setting up the service, the Centel Company holds itself liable for any damage done to the town during construction, but argues that the Company or its agents will have the right to trim trees that might interfere with lines or operations. “In our opinion," concluded the representatives. ‘‘it is to the advantage of the town of Washington to accept the franchise.” The possibility of an extended service was brought up. Many people are irritated that local calls cover only a very limited area, and that they are forced into making long distance calls for areas that are not very far away. It was pointed out. however, that rates on extended coverage would be higher—higher than making individual long distance calls. One of the main issues of the proposed franchise was the suggested removal of free telephones for the fire department and police department.

They are the center of warmth and good smells. As a result, it is important to make it comfortable. Bold colors add brightness and a sense of space. Since a kitchen often contains a lot of gadgets, it is often a good idea to have bold, large, decorative wall designs to avoid a cluttered sense from all the many little things around. Think also, if there is limited wall and counter space but a large floor area, of building an island in the center, containing a sink, stove, or food cutting and storage area. Home decorating is a tool to provide an atmosphere of comfort, brightness, spaciousness or other impression desired by the inhabitant.

According to director Camille Harris, Sursum Corda serves between 40 and 45 children a week in its summer program. Although enrollment is open to youngsters two to 12, most of the children taking part are in the two through six-yearold group. “There isn’t any baby sitting here,” emphasized summer instructor Tinker Hay. “Not even in outside play time.” Instead, the youngsters at Sursum Corda are always learning but they have such a great time in the process that they think it’s just plain old fun. The day is divided between outside and indoor activities. Children swim at a pool in Harris Hollow donated by Mrs. Alice Wood and take wildflower and nature walks, exploring Sursum Corda’s 20 acres. Older kids have the added opportunity for supervised water play in Rush River which borders the 'school grounds. They’ve also ventured further afield to hike up Old Rag Mountain near Sperryville. The youngsters take part in outdoor activities three times a day with directed, supervised play planned for two of the outings. For the third, kids are allowed to entertain themselves. They have a wide array of games from which to choose, ranging from volleyball, basketball and softball to horse shoes, jumprope, hula hoops and pogo sticks.

In simplest terms, a deed is a written document that conveys title (evidence of ownership) to real estate from one person to another. You don’t acquire title until you receive ahd accept the deed. The sales contract you get when you buy a house is a pact to convey title sometime in the future. The actual transfer is done by a deed. Every deed must have a grantor (seller). He must be of legal age, mentally competent, and legal owner qjf the property. If he does not fulfill all three ■ requirements - the deed is worthless. The person who receives and accepts the title is known as the grantee (buyer). If husband and wife are to be co-owners, the property will be conveyed to "John Doe and Mary Doe, wife”. Proper wqrding will insure that if either spouse dies, the survivor will become the sole owner.

The children are also taken to the Recreation Center for nature walks and play on the outdoor equipment there. “We always clean up when we go,” Hay added. A big part of the summer program for older children is gardening. The kids work in the vegetable plot from 9 to 9:30 every morning and will later sell the fruits of their labors. Then they will use the money they’ve raised for extra summer activities. ‘‘We still do readiness skills in math and reading for pre-schoolers but there’s less emphasis on academics than in the regular school program,” said Harris. And with all the fun they’re having, the little ones probably have no idea they’re doing anything as serious as learning. =The News From Boston= oy wna.

THURSDAY, JULY W, 1979 Questions Unanswered We still have reservations on how Robert Eastham was selected as a member of the Rappahannock School Board. We question still the legality of his appointment, both under Virginia’s conflict of interest law and the state's freedom of information act. We abhor the apparent backroom deal that placed him on the board. At the same time, we’re impressed with Eastham’s performance in his first night on the School Board. In submitting his resolution limiting board meetings—except when extraordinary circumstances warrant a special meeting—to the 12 set by law, Eastham put brakes to the proliferation of sessions called over the past year. When meetings are scheduled at a moment’s notice, it’s difficult for interested citizens— be they taxpayers, parents or the press—to arrange to attend. Therefore, logistics effectively turn these supposedly open sessions into private get-togethers away from the public’s scrutiny. We also agree with Eastham that it’s ridiculous to pay a Superintendent to carry out School Board policy and then do the job for him. If policy is clear. Dr. William Bloomer shouldn ’t have to ask the board’s permission to approve use of school facilities, okay class field trips or other relatively trivial matters. We hope Eastham s unanimously accepted resolution achieves the ends he intends. Eastham’s interest in the Title I program and his desire for information deserve recognition. Too often in the past, special programs mandated by the federal and state governments have roused anger and resentment instead of interest as the board members railed against the additional costs of the special programs. We hope that Eastham s investigation of what Title I means will spark his curiosity on other special programs and the special needs of the children involved. Robert Eastham may yet hush the opposition to his appointment voiced by the citizens of Wakefield District and echoed by the Rappahannock News. But he needs the cooperation of the School Electoral Trustees—C. E. Johnson, Granville Eastham and Christine Johnston. The Trustees do Eastham a disservice by allowing a cloud to hang over his appointment. We suggest they meet again to repeat in open session the vote naming Eastham and Charles Eldred to the School Board. But before Eastham is voted on. the Trustees owe the citizens of Wakefield District and Rappahannock County an answer to the conflict of interest questions raised regarding Eastham’s appointment by a three-member board that includes his brother. The applicable statute is too ambiguous for a layman to interpret. It may be that there is no conflict under a strict interpretation of the law. Or it may be that Granville Eastham can resolve the controversy by refusing to accept his $25 per meeting payment. We understand that an Attorney General 's opinion on the issue has been requested. Good questions need to be answered. Then and only then will public confidence in local government be restored. XT1TI?/ 1?T AW/1?D _ v —Rappahannock New*Photo/S.

Town Council Meeting (Continued from Page 1) free phone being taken from the fire department,” said Mayor Newbill Miller. “That’s negotiable,” returned the Centel representative. “1 think you can tell everybody that we’d be pretty easy to get along with if you extend that free phone to the fire department,” said Miller. Miller asked what towns had recently renewed their franchise with Centel, and then requested a copy of the new Richmond franchise to be sent to the council for examination. A franchise is normally renewed for 30 years, though there was mention of 25 years as a possibility. A copy of the franchise will be sent at a later date to Rappahannock News for publication. Councilman Brad Fisher then brought up the Fire Department’s request for a bingo permit. Fisher explained that a new state ordinance requires that anyone who runs bingo has to have a permit. If the Fire Department wishes to set up bingo, they must have a permit. It was asked where the game would be played, to which Council woman Dorothy Hawkins replied, “At the fire hall, I guess.” However, some doubt was voiced as to whether or not they could use a public building. i “All the permit does is force the department to submit an annual account of the monies that they have made,” pointed out Fisher. The permit does not dictate where bingo can or cannot be played. Once the department moves out of town, they will have to submit a new request for a permit. A motion was proposed, seconded, and unanimously carried to allow hold bingo games to be held. A motion was also unanimously carried to water proof the pump house, which becomes very damp in winter. Mrs. Elmo Flynt had submitted a request to have her meter moved. “If she moves the meter where she wants it, that should be agreeable to us,” said Miller. However, Fisher pointed out that the current cost for the installation of a meter is $150, and that this price is hopelessly outdated. Concert Group Meets July 27 The Community Concert Association of Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Madison and Orange will hold its annual meeting July 27 at 8 p.m. at the Lake of the Woods club house. ++++ Everything comes to the nan who does not need it. “I think that the town should recover the cost of installation,” agreed Miller. In giving a rough breakdown of the costs, Fisher said that $250 would barely cover the cost of the equipment and the installation of the meter. To break even, the fee would have to be $300. Bearing this figure in mind, it was felt that the total cost of installation should be at least $350. “Should the new fee be advertised in the paper?” asked Hawkins. “Well, I think it will be, whether we want it or not!” laughed Fisher. Mr. Jenkins proposed the motion that the meter installation be raised to $350 and be explained to the public, H. T. Updike seconded the motion, and it was unanimously passed. Hawkins brought up the business of the street signs. They have been painted, and a motion to send a check of $6.00 to Deedee Johnson for her work was unanimously passed. A motion to pay Mr. Ward, a dowser, $15.00 for finding water was proposed by C. E. Giles Jr. and unanimously passed. Mr. Ward worked for 2‘/j-3 hours, it was reported, and he had suggested a fee between the sums of $15.00 and $20.00. The motion to pay the monthly bills was approved. .MM SI"™ F0R RAPPAHANNOCKLIONS club taM.traf Sebdtt. prurient;Robert Ingle, secretary; guest Joe Lipomi, District Governor; Charl“E,dred’ *re“5"rer: Hu*h «*»' “« - Highway— (Continued from Page 1) funded with $131,000 in federal money, include: —primary reading lab for students in grades 2, 3 and 4 who are one-half year or more below grade level; expected to serve 50 children, — upper elementary reading lab for students in grades 4-7 who are one and a half years or more below grade level; expected to serve 60 children, —transitional readiness class for first graders coming from kindergarten who need extra preparation in reading readiness skills; selfcontained classroom expected to serve 20 children, —high school reading lab for students in grades 8-12 who are two years or more below grade level; expected to serve 60 children, —upper elementary math lab for students in grades 4-7 who are two years below grade level; expected to serve 60 children. Title I is a federally funded educational program designed to help students with average ability who are lacking in education experience and can benefit from the intensified learning and low pupil-teacher ratio in a lab setting. Retarded and handicapped children are not eligible for Title I programs. Before any child is included in Title classes, parents must give their written permission. For further information on Title I, parents may contact Dr. William Bloomer or Dr. Rob McDaniel at the School Board offices in Sperryville, 987-8773. Information Wanted Eastham asked McDaniel if copies of a booklet entitled “Title I —How It Works” could be provided to the administration and to both School Board and Title I Advisory Council members. “With all the reading and math problems we have, we’re going to be dealing with this program for quite a while,” said Eastham. "I would appreciate anything that will aid in our understanding of Title I.” McDaniel replied that he had only one copy of the outof-print booklet. As parts of the booklet are considered outdated by the State Department .of Education, McDaniel instead said he would provide Eastham with the same material highlights of the Title I law given Advisory Council members. The dissemination of information on Title I to the general public has been a problem of the School Board for many years, noted chairman Beverly Massie. “We need really to have a one-on-one approach,” she said, explaining that parents of children involved in Title I have been asked to be “ambassadors” to other parents who children are new to the program. McDaniel added that this year letters sent home to parents will give a better idea, using test scores and delineating areas of strength and weaknesses, of why their child has been recommended for the Title I program. Modular Units The board voted unanimously to accept the low bid from Nationwide of Martinsville for purchase of three modular units for the high school. The trailers will cost $11,629.91 each, with air conditioning and commercial grade carpet $1,142 extra. Total for the three units will be $38,315.73, not including site preparation, electrical work, ramps and guttering. The board agreed to go with ramps alone instead of both ramps and steps in providing access to the trailers. “How temporary do you anticipate these to be?’* asked Eastham, in a discussion on whether to construct ramps of wood or concrete. The trailers “are intended to carry us through the transitional stage until the expansion program at the high school is determined,” Bloomer replied. (A proposal for a $750,000 expansion at the high school presented by the School Board’s Capital Outlay Study Committee was endorsed in April by the School Board in a split vote. (Forwarded to the Rappahannock Supervisors for funding, the expansion proposal was rejected on the grounds that it didn’t provide a detailed cost analysis or alternatives. (Subsequently, at the suggestion of the Supervisors, School Board Chairman Beverly Massie and board member Alan Stokes were appointed to work with Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke, another Supervisor and County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner on capital outlay plans for the high school. (The committee’s first meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 31, at 8 p.m. in the elementary school.) Bloomer added that the trailers would provide additional space at the high school until building there is completed and then the units will be moved to the elementary school to relieve overcrowding. “But they might be at the high school for quite a while?” Eastham asked. “Well, as one individual in the State Department said, ‘There’s nothing as permanent as a temporary structure,’" Bloomer said. He recommended constructing the ramps of wood, the cheaper material. “If we move with deliberate speed on the building program, wood will last that long,” he said. “Wood’s a hazard,’’ countered board member Walter Masterson, advocating concrete which, he said, provided more stability and, in the winter, better traction. The board voted unanimously to build fivefoot wide ramps of concrete. Bids for the ramp construction, site preparation and electrical work were authorized for advertisement with the bids to be opened on July 24 at noon in the School Board office. At two June meetings, the School Board approved a list of priority expenditures for money left over in the 197879 budget. Bloomer reported that $6,800 remained after funding all the priority projects. The board approved four additional projects at the high school: (1) selected painting, (2) repair and masterkeying of locks to improve security, (3) repairs to restroom plumbing, (4) installation of exhaust fans in the locker rooms to get rid of steam heat. In addition,^Bloomer was authorized to solicit information on prices of new water coolers. 4 Policy Requires Bids In accordance with School Board policy, noted Eldred, the painting and lock repairs will have to be put out on bids since each is estimated to cost more than $1,500. “If our policy is to advertise, then perhaps we should...It’s always prudent to use the bidding procedure when you’re using the taxpayers’ money to ensure them it’s being spent wisely,” he said. The board agreed to advertise both projects for bids and indicated they would review the $1,500 limit for biddable jobs at a later meeting. Bloomer reported that attorney Douglas Baumgardner had notified the board that he could have clear title to the old Scrabble School secured shortly after September 1. Mrs. Massie explained that the board wanted clear title so it could dispose of the property. “We’ve had numberous requests for purchase,” she said, adding that the Supervisors didn’t want the old school sold since it served as a site for county trash dumpsters. If the property is sold, she said, proceeds from the transaction will go into Rappahannock’s general fund rather than into the school fund. , . In a final informational item, Bloomer announced that all the old records on Rappahannock schools have been moved from Warren County to the clerk’s office for storage. Special Meetings (Continued from Page 1} he said, usually means double premium payments with no increase in benefits. “How about the children who can’t afford $4.50 and do need the program?” asked board member Walter Masterson. “I’d be opposed to collecting $4.50 from the students who are interested and applying the funds to cover all the children (at the $2.10 rate),” countered Eldred. The school systems that have adopted the group plan pay the premiums, not the parents, Bloomer explained. Schools choose this option, he said, to ensure complete insurance coverage on all students and to eliminate paper work by teachers required to insure each child individually. Eastham asked if children elected not to participate in the insurance program last year because their families couldn’t afford the premium payment. Bloomer replied that he had no information on why students chose not to buy insurance coverage through the school. Can the board make it mandatory for each child to pay $2.10 for insurance upon enrollment in school? asked Eastham. A l ilia appiuBvii create legal problems, Bloomer answered. The board agreed to table the insurance matter and requested Dr. Bloomer to investigate possibilities of teacher coverage under the group plan. In a related matter, Eastham suggested that the board investigate the underwriter—‘‘the one that really pays” —before contracting with any insurance company. With an insurance company that has a registered agent in Virginia, Eldred said, the board is protected by the State Corporation Commission’s “very rigid rules” applicable to all companies doing business in Virginia, no matter where their home office is located. “The only place where concern is warranted is Where we’re dealing by mail with an outof-state company,” he said. =Photography (Continued from Page 1) obvious difference between fine art and commercial photography is the use of color. In the former field, color is only rarely used, because, as Kilby explains, “you can’t control the color to get the subtleties that a painter can...It’s a package deal—Kodak’s package deal. They pick the hues.” This means that almost all fine arts photography is done in black and white, which allows personal interpretation and expression. However, practically all commercial photographs are color. It is considered vivid and life-like which makes it more eye-catching when used for advertising or illustrating. Kilby started serious fine arts photography in 1970. After graduating from Virginia Tech, he went into the service as a photographer, and, he adds, “I really got the technical training in the army.” He went on to do graduate work at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he gained an MFA in Photography. Most of the photographs for his thesis work were taken right here in Rappahannock. Following his graduation from VPI, Kilby became aware of a need to develop the artistic side of his personality. With an education in Industrial Arts, he had not been allowed the freedom to express his creativity in photography. This desire for discovery led to his exploration of fine arts photography, and to the formation of his own ideas towards photography. Kilby defines his fine arts photography as the “visual interpretation of a conceptual idea.” He further explains this as visually capturing in a photograph what was previously only captured in the mind. In his photograph, “World Lines,” for example, Kilby has shot railway lines which intersect at a junction, but then go on in different directions. Taken purely as it immediately appears, the photograph seems rather dull and strange. But when it is interpreted as a piece of fine art, it takes on a different meaning. It is a picture of two people who lead totally separate lives, but who, for a brief instant, meet each other, and then go on the way they were going, probably never to run across each other again. This idea cannot be presented factually; it is impossible to try and picture such a concept unless it is done in the abstract, which is what Kilby is trying to do. To a few people, this interpretation of photography seems nonsensical and very far removed from the world of family snapshots taken every vacation. But, as Kilby explains, it takes someone who is used to looking at fine art to understand fine arts photography. “All major museums have photography shows and collections, though the older private collections don’t accept it as fine art,” Kilby remarks. The fact that photographs are easily reproduced, and the fact that anyone can go out and take a photograph conspire to make fine arts photography unacceptable to a small number of people. But the fact remains that fine arts photography is growing. And Tim Kilby is fast becoming recognized as a talented and respected artist, whose work is being shown in galleries around the country.

SSI Availahie For Aged, Blind, Disabled *«=ucrai government makes monthly supplemental security income (SSI) payments to people who are 65 or older, or blind, or disabled and who do not have much income and do not own much property. The idea of SSI is to provide monthly checks when they are needed so that eligible people can have a basic cash income—$208.20 for one person and $312.30 for a married couple. This does not mean that every eligible gets this much in his or her SSI check every month. Some people get less because they have other income and some get more because they live in a state that adds money to the federal payment. A home does not count against a person’s eligibility and the federal government r does not ask for a lien on the home of a person who gets SSI. More detailed information about SSI eligibility can be obtained at the Culpeper social security office. A leaflet, "SSI for the aged, blind, and disabled" describes the program. The Culpeper social security office is located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center and the telephone number is 825-3500.

The meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. and end about 3 p.m. Interested persons are invited to attend. This is the regular summer quarterly meeting which will be devoted to an exchange of information among the members, followed by a talk on biological dynamic farming by Dr. Herbert H. Koepf. Dr. Koepf is director of the School of Agriculture at Emerson College, Forest Row, Sussex, England. He is well known both in the U. S. and England as an experienced practitioner of the biological dynamic approach to the land. The VABF has been organized in Virginia for several years. Its purpose is to bring together farmers and gardeners who are interested in what is usually understood by the term “organic gardening.” Persons wishing to learn more about the meeting and the organization may call Miriam Harris at Huntly or Diana Bird at Washington.

The reduction of about two mills per kilowatt hour will result in a savings of about SI for each 500 kwh used or about two dollars for 1,000 kwh. If continued throughout the remainder of the year, the lower fuel factor would result, in a reduction in gross annual revenues from the company’s Virginia customers of about $1.11 million. The lower levelized fuel rate was approved by the State Corporation Commission in an order issued June 29. Potomac Edison told the SCC at fuel hearings last month that the cost of coal, the primary fuel used for the generation of PE electricity, had not increased at the rate forecast in 1978. The 1978 forecast was the basis for the levelized fuel rate for the first six months of this year. Principal reasons for coal cost lower than the forecast included a delay in implementation of federal surface mine regulations and price advantages resulting from a current oversupply of coal. and John, Jr. of Castleton were Monday callers.

Diane Bruce, Clerk Board of Supervisors Rappahannock County Exchange Youth Visits By PHILIPPA KIRBY Rappahannock News Special Writer Kyosti Lankinen, a 17 year old boy from Finland, is staying in Rappahannock County with the Paul Nichols family. He is here through the Lions Exchange Program, and will split his visit between the Nichols in Flint Hill and the R. H. Ingles in Washington. Kyosti finds it difficult to speak English, even though he has been learning it for eight years in Finland. But this is understandable: he has never been out of Finland before, and now he is suddenly presented with a huge, foreign country where very few people can understand his own language, and he has to try and make himself understood. He has been here for a week, and began his stay with a visit to New York, which, though somewhat overwhelming, he enjoyed immensely. Kyosti comes from a small village called Pukaro, and he is a farm boy. So he is not totally unfamiliar with the kind of life in Rappahannock in which he is involved. The Nichols family has included Kyosti in everything that they do: “We do our regular routine, and he does it with us as a family,” says Paul Nichols. The family went on holiday to Nag’s Head, North Carolina, and Kyosti went with them; he fished, crabbed, and swam with the rest of the family, and grins broadly in agreement when asked if he had a good time. So far, there don’t seem to be any problems on either side. Kyosti is adapting well to new life, and isn’t homesick—“he’s too busy!” says Nichols-and the family enjoys having him with them, and including him in their activities. “He likes a lot of the things that he sees in this country,” Nichols explains. One of the main reasons Kyosti wanted to come to the States in the first place was to see all the things that he had heard so much about, according to Nichols. Curtis Nichols, Paul Nichols son, went to Finland on an exchange last year so the family is already aware of many of the differences between the two cultures. Nichols is determined to show Kyosti what being an American is all about, by giving him an all encompassing view of American family life. And judging by Kyosti’s easy smile, and friendly manner, the transition from Finland to the U.S. has been successful. This is the third year of overseas exchange for Rappahannock County. There have been Philippines, Finns, and Germans in the area during past years, and this summer §ees a continuation of this successful program. Arranged through the Lion’s Club, the youth exchanges are intended to further understanding between the peoples of different countries. Two brothers from France will be arriving in August. They will be living with the Gordon Thornhill family and the Wesley Harris family during their stay. A German boy is also expected in early fall by Capt. and Mrs. Howard Holschuh.

Latham YE OLDE GENERAL STORE at Amissville, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dunphy, has a new look since they have purchased and renovated the building which was formerly Bel Air Restaurant. A rustic exterior and living quarters have been added and they sell a variety of items and operate a lunch counter. - General Store (Continued from Page 1) business,” and they cater to riders and farriers. Mr. Dunphy has always been interested in horses, and, says Mrs. Dunphy, when she was eight years old and he was 10, he used to follow her home from school, “clumping along behind me on his pony.” It is Mr. Dunphy who looks after the saddlery end of the business, while Mrs. Dunphy deals with the groceries. They also have a line in clothing—jeans, shirts and boots—which is particularly popular, and which they have a hard time keeping in stock. Mrs. Dunphy tries to stock groceries which are traditional to a country store. This includes a selection of canned and bottled goods, and local apple and peach produce, together with a few hardware items. ‘‘The customer is my biggest help in buying,” she explains. The Dunphys are particularly proud of their sandwich bar, which serves anywhere between 35 and 50 people for lunch. It is handled by Connie Keyser and Sherri Breeden, whom Mrs. Dunphy calls “our little elves." She adds that there is no way that they could manage all the work by themselves; both the Dunphys work in the store seven days a week, and they need the extra hands that Connie and Sherri provide. Mrs. Dunphy says that both she and her husband love living in Rappahannock. “People have been just wonderful to us—really friendly.” They liked the building and the location when they first saw them, and think that the county has a lot of potential for growth which is, of course, very important to any business. They have had absolutely no problems in establishing the store, “short of organizing!”, and they enjoy the work involved. Says Mrs. Dunphy, “The busier we are, the better we like it,” and this enthusiasm ensures that Ye Olde General Store will become even more of a success than it is already. V.W.
