Rappahannock News, August 30, 1979

30th YEAR, NO. 35 USPS 45558C 8 Pa«e8 THURSDAY, AUGUST 30,1979 RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 f SAMPLE r '' Washington, Virginia Phone 67.5-3349 Atkins W From By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Jack J. Atkins of Amissville announced his withdrawal last week from the contest for Jackson District supervisor in the upcoming November general election. His action leaves incumbent J. R. Latham running unopposed. Atkins made his decision after receiving letters from Harold C. King, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, and C. D. Garvey, Jr., resident engineer with the Department’s Manassas office. According to a letter dated July 27 from King to Atkins’ attorney Sharon Genebach Luke, Atkins’ candidacy presents an “inherent conflict.” King acknowledged that Atkins’ candidacy for the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors violated neither state conflict of interest law nor provisions for the federal Hatch Act that prohibits public employees from seeking most elected offices. “Notwithstanding that, I feel the Department has a legitimate interest in controlling any external activity of an employee which represents a real or potential conflict of interest between the public trust held by the Department and the constituency of a candidate for public office,” Kind wrote. “By law, Boards of Supervisors play a dominant role in determining the priorities by which many Department construction and maintenance activities are controlled within county jurisdictions," the Commissioner continued. “Mr. Atkins’ service on the Rappahannock Board would require that he pass judgement on recommendations of the Department management he serves as an employee, while responding to the interests of a public constituency he “Storm Trek” Presentation The first in the fall and winter series of programs at the Rappahannock County Library in Washington will be on Thursday evening, September 20. The feature will be “Storm Treks,” and will include slides and a film on weather phenomena, namely tornadoes. The presentation will be by David Hoadley of Falls Church, a mild-mannered government administrator, who once a year becomes a Superman of storm-chasing, seeking violent weather in the south and south central states. His storm slide collection is one of the finest private collections in the country. ithdraws Race represents as an elected official...I am affirming that Mr. Atkins cannot continue to pursue his candidacy and remain employed by the Department,” King concluded. Withdraw Or Resign In a second letter dated August 3 from Garvey, Atkins was asked to furnish written confirmation by Wednesday, August 15, of either his withdrawal as a political candidate or notification of his resignation. “If this is not received by this date, I must assume that you intend to pursue your candidacy and will have no alternative but to remove you from the payroll effective at the end of that workday,” Garver warned. Atkins has been employed by the Highway Department for 14 years and is now an “A” inspector with the Manassas residency office. Prior to working out of Manassas, he was assigned to Department offices in Warrenton and Fairfax. Since his transfer to Prince William County over four years ago, he has not been involved with any Highway Department projects in Rappahannock, he reported. Atkins said his candidacy had created a “hassle” with his employer since he made his announcement to run in March. He added that he was forced to hire an attorney before he could get an answer on whether Department policy barred his candidacy for supervisor. “It’s all a matter of interpretation of policy,” he said. “They can interpret it anyway they want to.” —Rappahannock News Photo /Sarah Latham ABANDONED—The station wagon that Gene and Virginia Wood drove home Tuesday night sits on the bridge, its hood draped with pieces of asphalt washed up from the road by the flood waters. The couple abandoned the car after it stalled. Rescue workers surmise that the Woods were swept away by the swollen Thornton River as they tried to walk home. Their bodies were discovered Wednesday morning. Wakefield School Plans Expansion Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly, beginning its seventh year of operation September 7, announces plans for expansion of facilities and programs.

The Association met for the first time Wednesday, August 22, in the court house at Washington. With Sperryville lawyer James W. Fletcher serving as temporary chairman for the purpose of conducting the session, Rappahannock attorneys voted unanimously to endorse Robertson.

Apple Outlook Bleak Bumper Crop But No Bumper Prices By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The countdown has begun for Rappahannock apple growers. On Tuesday, September 4, National Fruit Products Company, Inc., the makers of White House apple products, will announce what they’ll pay in Virginia for this year’s crop. Local orchardists aren’t optimistic. National Fruit processes more apples than any other company in this part of the country. According to orchardists, this buying power gives National Fruit leverage to be THE price setter in the Virginia marketplace. Based on last year’s record, the company gets low marks from growers on the pricing example it set for other smaller processors. Virginia orchardists were paid the lowest price in the nation for their crop. The season average processing prices received by growers here was $4.95 per hundred pounds of apples. Washington state growers drew top dollar for their apples at $8.15 per hundred pounds. West Virginians received an average of $5.25, New Yorkers and Pennsylvanians got $5.55. Michigan orchardists, helped by a form of binding arbitration between growers and processors in the state, were paid $6.20 for the same apples that brought $4.95 irf Virginia. Judging from National Fruit’s performance to date this year, the outlook isn’t good. North Carolina apple growers were receiving between $100 and $110 per ton from processors until just a few weeks ago, according to Sam Snead, Washington orchardist and chairman of the Virginia Farm Bureau Apple Marketing Association. “Then National Fruit came in and offered $80 per ton. The rest of the processors immediately dropped their prices to Flood Leaves Two Dead The bodies of Gene and Virginia Wood were recovered from the flood swollen Thornton River early Wednesday morning by the Sperryville Rescue Squad. The Woods were returning to their home at Fletchers Mill late Tuesday evening when their car stalled out in high water on a bridge over the Thornton, according to witnesses. Rescue workers report that Road Bids Due Sept. 18 Bids for a road construction project at Chester Gap will be received September 18 by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation in Richmond Plans call for the grading, draining and paving on 0.4 of-a-mile of two-lane secondary route 610. The project is designed to improve alignment between US 522 and Secondary 660 at Chester Gap Post Office. In other work scheduled for the Culpeper District, bids are due on September 18 for installation of guardrail at various locations. Also, on the basis of low bids received during July. MAKCO, Inc., of Charlottesville was awarded a contract for $47,827 to replace guardrails at different locations in the district. In addition Airport Markings. Inc. of Alexandria was the low bidder at $102,722 to complete marking pavement at various sites in the district. the Woods had probably left their vehicle and continued home on foot when they were swept away by flood waters. Squad personnel searched for the couple until 2:30 a.m. Wednesday morning and resumed looking at 7 a.m. The bodies were found below Fletchers Mill near the kennels for the Rappahannock hounds at approximately 9 a.m. Clore Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Graveside services for Gene and Virginia Wood will be held Friday, August 31. at Fairview Cemetery in Culpeper. Several Sperryville residents report that more than eight inches of rain fell on the area in an hour, beginning at 8 p.m. According to highway department personnel, roads were impassable throughout Tuesday night in most of the county with the Sperryville vicinity hardest hit by the flash flooding. Classes in Rappahannock's public school were cancelled Wednesday due to the road conditions. Late Tuesday night, a rock slide blocked Route 211 near the Tee-pee Restaurant, stopping traffic for over three hours until highway department personnel reached the site with front end loaders from the Washington maintainence office. West bound traffic was rerouted through Front Royal until the road was cleared. Behind Fletchers Mill, a barn was swept across between $80 and $85," he reported. "We don’t want them carrying that price down here," Snead added, noting that National traditionally paid Virginia growers less than it paid growers in North Carolina. Snead attended a growers' meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, last week as part of a session sponsored by the American Agricutlure Marketing Association. The growers came up with a recommended price for the current season of $5.50 per hundred pounds for juice BARN OWLS WANTED — Roger Jones of Woodville, bird enthusiast and licensed bander with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, would like to hear from any county residents who have bam owls nesting in their silos or barns. He is currently taking a census of kestrels, red-tailed hawks and barn owls (marked by distinctive heartshaped faces! in Rappahannock.

Snead said. "That's a fair price." Currently. National Fruit is paying “summer prices" for Rantbo apples—S5 for canners and $3.50 for anything else. "That's ridiculous. You can't even grow them for $3.50." said Snead. “We need $5 just to break even." Decline In Orchard Acreage Rappahannock orchardists have been up against the wall for the past three years. Low prices for their bountiful 1978-79 crop followed two disastrous years when late freezes destroyed almost the entire fruit harvest in the county. Predictions on this year’s crop statewide show an estimated 184 million bushels of apples hanging on the trees—down just one per cent from last year's bumper crop. But if prices don’t pick up to where they’re at least compatible with those offered by processors in surrounding states, local agricultural experts also knowledgeable in the impact of increasing land values predict that Rappahannock's last commercial orchard will fold by 1984. During work on the county’s comprehensive plan in April, the Rappahannock Planning Commissioners expressed concern over figures that showed a substantial decline in orchards over the last decade. Land to fruit production dropped from 4,000 acres in 1964 to approximately 2,000 acres in 1974—a decline of 50 per cent. In the same time period, the number of orchards decreased from 104 to 47 and the number of farms producing apples went from 64 to 34. At the time, the planners estimated that the drop in fruit production would be even greater if more current statistics were available. “We’re really hurting," (Continued on Page 8) the road, completely cutting off access to Route (>2().

Speeding Arrests Climb Speeding arrests were up 32 percent through July over a similar period last year and, according to the Virginia State Police, Labor Day weekend arrests may push this percentage even higher. State Troopers will be once again participating in Operation C. A. R. E. — an acronym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort—with 15 other states from Maine to Florida. Virginia's part in the program involves an increased number of troopers patrolling the State’s interstate highway system. “We primarily increase our patrols,” says Colonel D. M. Slane, Department Superintendent, "to give us greater visibility and thus encourage greater motorist voluntary compliance with Virginia's traffic laws. Our objectives are fewer accidents, injuries and fatalities. -OutdoorMUMS $2.00 each The Good Earth Plant Shop 122 S. Main Si. (ail|M*ppr 82.i-H.V11 “However, our experience with this program does indicate we issue a high number of speeding summonses and we assist a lot of motorists who are in need of our help.” During the Memorial Day holiday period. May 25-28, troopers issued more than 5,000 speeding summonses and assisted 529 motorists. And over the July 4th holiday, 2,720 speeding summonses were issued and 1,484 motorists assisted. Historically, the Labor Day holiday period has been one of the most tragic in terms of highway fatalities. A tally of the past 10 years indicated that more persons have been killed over the Labor Day weekend than any other major holiday—a total of 1% fatalities. Last year, 21 persons lost their lives during this weekend. The State Police, noting the current increase in speeding arrests and the past history of Labor Day fatalities, point out the correlation of speeding to fatalities. In 42.9 percent of all fatal crashes last year, speed—either excessive or too fast for conditions—was a contributing factor. Also on the Labor Day weekend, the Safety Service Patrol of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation will travel 260 miles of the state’s interstate iEappaljannock iNeiufi Rappahannock 8- Adjoining Counties per year $6.00 Elsewhere in the U S', per year $7.50 Outside the U S. per year $6.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclosed NAME ___ ADDRESS__ CITY __ STATE _ ZIP Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Warrenton, Va.

Nearly all the increase in expenses is due to higher prices of inputs, rather than quantity used. The total amount reflects a small increase in the quantity of seed and fertilizer, but a 10 percent reduction in purchased livestock and little change in other items. The index of prices paid by farmers for all items in 1979 is expected to be 12 to 14 per cent higher than last year’s average.

REALTOR VACATION HOME AND TAXES If you build or buy a vacation home, you can let it help your annual tax bill and still enjoy it for your family’s pleasure. However, with the 1976 tax reform bill, (effective 1-1-77) there have been changes restricting some of the deductions under certain conditions. For starters - whether you use it for yourself or not, there are always the usual deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes. The interest deduction can be considerable during the early years of the loan. There are other deductions that also may be taken - just as you would if you owned an apartment house tor an investment: depreciation, maintenance, utilities, insurance, etc. In order to take these deductions the total cannot exceed the amount of rental income (less taxes and interest) and the home cannot be occupied by the owner for more than two weeks or 10 per cent of the rental use.

'Home uecot Early's Carpet Sales & Service ROUTE 211—AMISSVILLE 937-5111 When shopping for fabrics for your home, consider what the fabric has to do for the room. Does it have to give more color?

MAIN ST. - CULPEPER Burning Dollars, Wood Saves Resources By LYT WOOD County Forester Many homeowners in Rappahannock County are following the nationwide trend and switching to woodburning stoves and fireplaces to reduce their heating bills. By using wood, a renewable fuel resource, homeowners more than cut energy bills. They also help to conserve limited resources of oil, coal and gas. Wood now provides Americans with half as much energy as nuclear power does, according to the U. S. Department of Energy. Since the 1973-74 oil embargo, use of wood as fuel has expanded nearly 15 percent a year. Between 1972 and 1977, the number of wood-burning stoves in use increased from 250,(XX) to 2,000,000. Onefifth of the homes in Northern New England now rely on wood as their primary heat source and 30 percent more use it as a supplemental source. But the efficient use of wood as a fuel involves more than just tossing another log on the fire. When using wood for heating, you should know which wood provides the most heat, when and how to cut or buy wood, how to dry and store it, and sources of firewood. Different species of wood burn differently. Poplar, for example, may pop sparks and osage orange is hard to start. Pines and fruitwoods, especially apple, have an aromatic odor. Whether you buy wood or cut your own, you should burn only wood that has been well seasoned (6 -12 months). Dry wood creates less creosote buildup, and provides 20-30 percent more heat for the dollar spent. Measuring Wood Firewood is sold by the truckload, volume measure, and sometimes by weight. A common volume measure is the standard cord — a wellstacked pile of logs measuring eight feet long by four feet wide by four feet high (128 cubic feet). If your stacked Firewood measures seven feet long, three feet high and the wood is two feet long, the pile contains about one-third of a cord (7x3x2 equal 42 cubic feet; 42 divided 128 equals .32 cords). Since most people burn wood two feet (24 inches) or less in length, most sales of firewood are on a “face cord” (rick) or “pickup truck load” basis. A face cord is a pile of logs stacked eight feet long, four feet high, with the width being the length of the wood. The amount of wood on a pickup truck varies depending on whether the wood is tossed or stacked. Generally, a pickup load of wood will range from '/< to Vi standard cord. Seasoning And Storing Firewood It is important to properly dry firewood because green wood burns less cleanly, leading to creosote buildup in flues and chimneys. In addition, dry _Ac Culpeper Art Co. 204 N. Main St. Culpeper, Va. Quality Antiques Custom Framing wood produces up to 30 percent more heat than green wood. To properly dry firewood, consider the following: —Wood more than 4” in diameter should be split. Small pieces dry faster than large pieces. —Stack the wood neatly in a sunny, windy location. —Cover the top of the stack with plastic, tarpaper, tin, etc., to keep rain and snow from wetting the wood. —Keep the wood off the ground to help prevent decay, termites and other pests from entering the wood. Plastic can be put on the ground under the pile to prevent moisture in the lower layer. —Keep the firewood stack away from the house to prevent spread of insects and decay organisms to the house. —Wood should be dried six to twelve months or longer. Only dry wood should be burned for maxiumum heating efficiency. Cutting Your Own Firewood Many people cut their own firewood as a family project and a way of getting exercise. Tools needed are: chain saw, ax, splitting sledge, wedges, fuel oil and files to sharpen the saw and ax. When cutting your firewood, be extremely careful in all phases of the operation. Have at least one other person present at all times in case of an emergency. If trees are to be felled, make certain that people and equipment are clear of the tree to be felled.

Thanks to the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, Rappahannock voters will have a choice of supervisor candidates in only four districts out of five in the local elections this November. There will be no race in Jackson District. “Resign or withdraw” was the word from the Department powers that be and so challenger Jack J. Atkins has withdrawn rather than be fired by his employer of 14 years. The word came down from on high, five months after Atkins announced his candidacy and well past the deadline for filing in the supervisor race. We re all for enforcement of conflict of interest law. We've questioned what we considered enfringement on the regulations in other instances. But the law isn’t involved in the Highway Department's decision on Atkins’ candidacy—that is, unless we recognize the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation as a law unto itself. Department Commissioner Harold King, in a letter to Atkins’ attorney, acknowledged that neither state nor federal statutes were at issue. What is at issue is Department policy. According to King, Boards of Supervisors “play a dominate role” in determining priorities for Highway Department construction and maintenance projects. If Commissioner King actually believes this, we'd like to invite him to attend the series of annual road hearings held by the Rappahannock Board. The hearings follow a set pattern. The chairman opens the advertized public meeting and then moves around the board table, asking each supervisor in turn if the constituents from his district have any requests or complaints. Resident engineer Don Askew—not the supervisors—responds to all comments. Following the hearing, Askew presents the board members with a prepared resolution, formally worded, adopting the program for the coming year. Richmond—not the Rappahannock Supervisors—decides how much money will be alloted to the county for its roads. Askew—not the Rappahannock Supervisors—has the final say on what road gets improved and when. Over years of watching the board at the annual hearings, we’ve yet to see them change one word of any resolution proposed by the resident engineer. On matters pertaining to the Highway Department, the Supervisors are rubberstampers—not decision makers. We acknowledge that the board is occasionally asked for a resolution to discontinue maintenance on a road in the county system. This happens possibly once every two or three years. Add everything together and we come up with maybe two votes a year by the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors on highway matters. If there was an actual conflict, Atkins could abstain from taking part in these decisions. His non-participation wouldn’t, in all likelihood, change the outcome. We can t remember a single vote on an issue relating to highways that hasn’t been unanimous. On top of everything else, Atkins isn t the resident engineer, assistant engineer or maintenance supervisor for Rappahannock. He doesn’t even work in this county. How,can his candidacy for supervisor here affect his credibility on the job in Prince William? Charles Eldred, a recent appointee to the Rappahannock School Board, is also an employee of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. The School Board is currently involved in a settlement with the Highway Department arising from school property condemned for the widening of Route 211 outside Washington. No cash settlement has yet been agreed to so Eldred will apparently be involved in negotiations with his employer. If there’s no conflict in Eldred’s case—and we don’t think there is—why is there conflict with Atkins? By ordering Atkins to withdraw as supervisor candidate or lose his job, the Highway Department is tilting with windmills, battling shadows instead of conflict of interest threats. GED Tests Scheduled The General Educational Development (GED Test, for those persons who were once enrolled in school but who did not complete graduation requirements, will be given on Saturday, September 8 beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Warren County High School Cafeteria on Luray Avenue in Front Royal.

OUTDOOR RUNS allow Carol Miller’s shepherds plenty of exercise. Running the kennel is a full-time job that Carol handles on top of her duties as Washington s post master. Pens are cleaned everyday and concrete runs washed with clorox. Periodically, gravel in the larger dog pens is taken up and the ground treated with salt to prevent parasite infestation. Dogs have to be fed, groomed and watered and the animals are all taken out into the yard at The Maples for daily romps. In addition, the shepherds take turns at favored status house pets. Letter To The Editor Rednecks? Friends? To the editor: When some people ride through a town and see people on the street they often get the wrong impression. I’ve heard them say, “there’s the people that sneak around at night.” It's the people that you don’t see that are the ones you have to worry about. I know we get noisey sometime and keep people awake, but don’t overlook the fact that maybe one of these nights we may save your life or keep a burglar from breaking in your home. It has happened before. So don’t underestimate us, we are very understanding and we help each other when we are down. So you can call us rednecks or streetpeople, but we are friends and proud of it. DONNIE WELCH Flint Hill Carol Miller RaisesTrue Champions By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Led by Rin-tin-tin, Roy Rogers wonder dog Bullet, and thousands of police and Army k-9 corps dogs, German shepherds have fought a battle over the past 50 years to win the hearts of America. Carol Miller is one of the countless willing captives of the campaign. She was first taken hostage by a long haired shepherd bought as pet for the Miller V" son Jay. From owner of a pet quality dog, Carol has moved on to breeding some of the finest German Shepherds produced in the Washington, D. C. area. “I love the dog’s mind," she said, explaining her involvement with the breed. She first started raising shepherds with the aim of producing animals suited for obedience training. Her husband Newbill, speaking from his experience as an Angus cattle breeder, suggested that she broaden her goals and go first class. “Newbill said if you’re going to breed, you might as well breed the best,’’ Carol recalled, “so I gradually moved over to confirmation. I still loved the dog’s mind but 1 wanted a beautiful dog as well as an intelliegent one.” After just eight years as a serious breeder, her dogs are consistently whelping litters with show ring potential. The kennels behind the Maples in Washington have 1 1 shepherds in residence. Five are breeding stock—bitches with some of the best bloodlines in the country. Two have “finished” and carry the designation of champion before their names, the title awarded animals who’ve accumulated the 15 points in dog shows required by the American Kennel Club. Because of the popularity of shepherds and the large number of dogs entered in shows throughout the country, the breed is the second most difficult “to finish a dog in,” according to Carol. She noted that nationally, only 80 shepherds were awarded the coveted champion title last year. Females Only In addition to the five adult females, Carol has six puppies in her kennels. Most she’ll sell, keeping only an outstanding individual or two. She has no stud dog. “You don’t get as many good males as females,” she explained. “I’ve not yet bred a male that I’ve felt was of high enough quality to keep.” Instead of having her own stud, she sends her bitches to the top males in the country—as far away as New York and Ohio—to be bred. She’s a walking encyclopedia on who’s who in the shepherd world and can reel off the names of the top studs like a youngster going through the list of National League batting leaders. She has stacks of books from the German Shepherd Kennel club. “Breeder's tools,” Carol calls them. In the books, she can keep track of which champion stud has fathered what litter and can follow the progress of puppies as they enter show ring competition. “That way, you learn which blood lines click,” she explained. The lineage of her dogs reads like a history of famous shepherds from who’s who is dogdom. Her breeding bitches are the daughters, granddaughters and greatgranddaughters of some of tl e leading studs in America fibm the past decade. What e doesn’t have, she gets rough introducing new s to the gene pool by sing females for a year, breeding them to the sire of 1 er choice and keeping tiny pups with show potential. At dog shows up and down the East Coast, Carol's animals are exhibited by the top German Shepherd handler in the country, Jimmie Moses of New York. "It's taken me a long time to breed dogs good enough to have him handle,” Carol acknowledged with pride. She travels with her dogs to all shows and accompanies them to breeding kennels whenever possible. Sometimes the females fail to cooperate, coming into season at Christmas, Thanksgiving and other inopportune times. Then they travel first class but solo. Carol is very defensive about her favorite breed. She’s aware of the reputation shepherds have developed over the years as a dog spoiled by success. Their popularity has spurred irresponsible breeders to produce litter after litter with no concern for temperament or physical shortcomings. Like all large dogs who experience rapid growth, shepherds are susceptible to hip dysplasia. German shepherd breeders, however, started attacking the disorder 15 years ago, according to Carol. Reputable breeders, she said, have their females x-rayed to ensure that their dogs are unmarked by the condition and then breed the bitches only to males certified by the Orthopedic Association of America as being free from hip dysplasia. “Shepherd breeders are doing more or as much to eliminate dysplasia as any other dog breeders,” Carol maintained. As shepherds are judged first on movement and then on confirmation, it’s critical that all show dogs and breeding stock be free from physical defects that affect their “flowing, flying trot," Carol said. As important as physical perfection is, its ranks second to termperament in Carol Miller’s breeding operation. “If they don’t have sound temperament, they’re no good to anybody as a pet and most dogs that are bred turn out to be pet quality (as opposed to breeding stock or show quality),” Carol said. “They’re supposed to be protective,” she added, noting that there was a big difference between protective and vicious or unstable. “Once you’ve been invited in our house, my dogs have the sense to know you’re invited and would never bother you,” she said. “I get furious when I hear people say that a German shepherd will turn on you. German shepherds will die for their families. They’d never turn unless they were a sick or crazy dog that shouldn’t be alive anyway.” Although Carol has elaborate outdoor facilities that include runs, puppy houses, whelping pens in the CHAMPION SHEPHERD—Handler Jimmie Moses poses Halo, one of Carol Miller s prize breeding bitches, at a Louisville, Kentucky dog show. basement and pens in the garage protected from bad weather, all of her dogs take turns living inside with the Miller family. “You have to , live with German shepherds. I Their minds are so active—they crave human I companionship and affection,” she said. In addition. Carol brings her animals on trips to town in her car and with her to her job as post master for the town of Washington. She advises folks who buy puppies from her to take their dog with them when ever possible on outings. “You need to take them to as many places as you can, expose them to as many people and situations as you can,” Carol said. "After all, how would you like it if you were locked up in a little room or a tiny pen all the time?” she asked. Interaction with humans’ makes for a sound German shepherd mind,” she concluded. A glance through the pets for sale listed in the Sunday paper show scores of German shepherds for sale for ten bucks or free to a good home. Good pure bred dogs don’t come cheap. Most of the freebies or almost freebies are defective in either mind or body. They’re gluts on the market produced by unscrupulous breeders or folks with good intentions —Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson FUTURE SHOW RING POTENTIAL—Carol Miller poses one of the pups that she raises at the kennels behind The Maples in Washington. She plans to keep the young female, exhibiting her in the ring before using the dog for breeding stock. The wrapping on the dogs ears will encourage the ears to grow at the proper angle from the head. who believe that anything with papers is automatically champion stock. Carol Miller falls into neither of those characters. The German shepherds she raises are both beautiful to look at and a joy to live with—true champions in every sense of the word. Beginning School Is Big Step On August 27, 1979, approximately 71 children will begin school in Rappahannock County. This is a big step in the life of a child. Mental health professionals view it as a turning point. It marks the child’s first major separation from the secure and familiar world of home and family and marks his-her entrance into a new universe of friendship, learning and adventure—a world that parents can never again fully share. As a parent you can help you child by: (1) Taking an active interest in what your child tells you about school when she-he comes home. (2) Remembering that learning to like school and liking to learn are closely related. (3) Avoiding comparing your child and his-her school experience with how his-her brothers and sisters did when they began school. (4) Planning your day so that you can spend some time with him-her in the afternoon or evening, or be available when she-he needs you. Remember, your time together is more limited now. (5) Making sure your child is well rested and well fed before leaving the house in the morning. (6) Making sure your child gets up early enough to go to the toilet, wash and dress in clean clothes. Be sure your child is wearing the proper clothing for the weather. (7) Getting to know his-her teacher. (8) Joining the parentteacher group at your child’s school. (9) Letting your child settle his-her own quarrels or difficulties that may arise with school friends. Most children adjust to school without major upset of difficulty. If your child does not seeni to be making a smooth adjustment to school, don't hesitate to seek professional help. Talk to the school officials (teacher, principal, guidance counselor). Your family doctor or minister may also be able to advise vou . For additional information about your child’s adjustment to school, call the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic at 675-3329, a program of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Mental Health Center and Community Services Board. ++++ The brontosaurus, one of the largest dinosaurs* was so long—70 feet—and had such a small brain that it developed an auxiliary brain in its tail. .

However, all residential customers may now choose to be billed under our monthly “Uniform Payment Plan.” Under this plan, we estimate the total annual charges for your electric service and determine from this your “monthly payment” amount. You then receive an electric bill for the same amount every month, thus leveling out seasonally high bills. If at the end of a twelve month period, your charges for electric service actually used total to less than you have paid, we will either credit your account or, if you prefer, refund the difference to you. Should these charges be more than you have paid, we will bill you for the difference. To get more information about our uniform payment plan, just call or stop in at your nearest Potomac Edison office .

June Fuel Tax Totals Down KlCriMUINU— AUIOmotive fuels tax collections from June were $22,797,998, down 4 per cent from May figures, and down 8.5 per cent from June 1978 totals, according to Vern L. Hill, commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles. Hill stressed that monthly fuels tax collection figures do not reflect consumption of gasoline at the pumps since the nine per cent gallon tax is paid to the Commonwealth at fhe wholesale level. These funds are deposited in the JState s Highway Maintenance a'frd Construction Fund. Taxes were collected on 253,196,485 gallons of automotive fuels for June, a decrease of 10.7 million gallons from May, and a decrease of 23.5 million gallons compared to June 1978. Hill indicated that the decrease in collections from May to June reflects the cutbacks in gasoline allocations to the state during those months.

Terry, Safety Officer for the Virginia State Police, will travel to Brazil, September 14-21, to deliver lectures on Virginia’s Motor Vehicle Inspection Program and the Department’s Intradepartmental Vehicle Safety Program. Captain Terry will be participating in a National Traffic Conference attended by traffic authorities from throughout Brazil. All expenses incurred are being paid by the Brazil Department of Transportation. Brazil recently sent Dr. Julio Cesar da Silveira Neto, Deputy Director of Transportation, to Virginia for information regarding development of a Motor Vehicle Periodic Inspection Program for their country. Following this exchange of information, Brazilian authorities invited Captain Terry to lecture at their National Traffic Conference. Virginia’s Motor Vehicle Inspection Program, begun in 1932, has long been recognized as one of the most outstanding programs in the nation and has served as a model for many other states. Captain Terry supervises Virginia’s inspection program and also serves as the administrator of the Department’s Intradepartmental Vehicle Safety Program and the State’s Lawn Feeding Time “The end of summer is the time to begin feeding Kentucky bluegrass and fescue lawns if they are to be better lawns next year,” John F. Shoulders, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in turf, said. “From mid-August to December is the correct time," Shoulders stated. “Cool season grasses, such as bluegrass and the fescues, make most of their root growth during the fall, on warm winter days, and in the early spring. “They store food reserves in their root systems during cool weather for use during hot summer weather. But they cannot do so unless there is a supply of plant food available to them. “Almost all the fertilizer required for the next 12 months should be applied in the fall to supply nitrogen, phosphate and potash as the nutrients are needed,” the faculty member in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences reminded. “There are numerous ways to supply the nutrient needs of grass and many fertilizers from which to choose. The main point to remember is that bluegrass and fescue lawns need from two to four Aid Changes Need Study WASHINGTON —Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson says he is “reserving judgment” on pending bills to broaden federal crop insurance and phase out other agricultural disaster assistance programs. In a statement, the 7th District Representative explained that the legislation would convert the existing limited natural disaster insurance premium subsidy program of the Federal Crop Insurance Corp. into a comprehensive all-risk plan covering most crops. Depending on the version finally adopted, taxpayer funds would subsidize 20 to 40 percent of the premium, with the farmer paying the rest. ++++ Virtue is like a rish stone, best plain set.

In addition to these duties, Captain Terry has served as chairman of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators’ Engineering and Inspection Committee and the Vehicle Equipment Safety Commission. He is a past president of the Virginia Safety Association, the Southern Safety Conference consisting of 14 southern states and also of Region II, American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. “Virginia’s Motor Vehicle Inspection Program has always been considered one of the best in the country," said Colonel D. M. Slane, Department Superintendent, “and Captain Terry’s efforts in this program and other related programs also have received national attention. We are very proud that Brazil, through its invitation to Captain Terry, has made this recognition international in scope.” Captain Terry, a native of Warm Springs in Bath County, joined the Depart-1 ment in September 1948. In advancing through the ranks, he served in Lynchburg, Nottoway County, Richmond, Manassas and Chesapeake and was appointed to his present position in 1966 as Safety Officer pounds of nitrogen and about one or two pounds each of phosphate and potash per 1,000 square feet between now and late fall. Many turf fertilizers are mixed to supply nutrients in approximately this ratio. “Since that is too much fertilizer to apply at one time, two or three applications will be needed,” Shoulders advised. Fertilizer should be applied at a rate to provide one to one-and-a-half pounds of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. The amount of fertilizer used should be determined by its nitrogen content. For example, five pounds of a fertilizer containing 20 percent nitrogen furnishes one pound of actual nitrogen. Then between Oct. 1 and Nov. 15, and at least four weeks after the first application, the lawn should be fertilized again with the same material at the same rate. A third application should be made in December. “When a similar program to the one just outlined is followed, the fertilizer is usually adequate until late in May or June of the next year. At that time, about a half pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet may be needed to improve the color and appearance of the lawn,” Shoulders said. A practical program for most homeowners to use to meet the lawn’s nutrient needs calls for use of a complete fertilizer containing about two to four times as much nitrogen as phosphate and potash. The material should be applied between mid-August and midSeptember. The earlier date is applicable to the mountains and cooler areas of the state. Information on this and similar lawn feeding programs using different analyses of fertilizers is available from the Rappahannock Cooperative Extension office in Washington. By NANCY SECRIST VP1 Extension Agent ENERGY-SAVERS RECEIVE TAX CREDIT If you have been meaning to install weatherstripping, storm doors, or insulation, now is the time to do it. The Energy Tax Act of 1978 provides for federal tax credits to those who install energy-saving equipment in their residences. The credits cover both “energy conservation expenditures,” for materials like those listed above, and “renewable energy source expenditures,” for solar, wind-powered, or geothermal equipment. Wood-burning stoves, heat pumps, and hydrogen-fueled equipment are not included in the credit system. Eligible expenditures must be made on the taxpayer’s principal residence: renters as well as homeowners may claim the credits if they meet all other requirements. A credit of 15 per cent of total qualifying expenditures up to $2,000, for a maximum credit of $300, is available for energy conservation expenditures; for renewable emergency source expenditures, the credit is 30 per cent of qualifying expenditures up to $2,000 and 20 per cent of additional expenditures up to $10,000, or a maximum credit of $2,200. A credit must amount to $10 before it can be claimed. The expenditure limits are not yearly, but cumulative. That is, credits claimed between this year and 1987, when the Act expires, may total no more than the maximum amount in each category. However, the totals apply to expenditures made on the same residence. A taxpaper who claims the credits and then moves is eligible for credits up to the maximum in each subsequent principal residence. The energy credits are nonrefundable. The credit claimed cannot exceed the amount of tax owned. Expenditures must be claimed in the year they occur. A taxpayer need nbt itemize deductions to claim mv tuns. Only those improvements made on residences “substantially completed” before April 20, 1977, may be claimed as energy conservation expenditures; equipment installed must be new and expected to last at least three years. Renewable energy source expenditures, however, may be claimed for new residences. The secretary of the treasury will set performance and quality standards for energy-saving equipment; after the standards are released, materials must conform in order to qualify for the tax credit. Cooperatives and condominiums are included in the tax credit programs, as are units occupied by more than one household. Separate rules apply in such cases. If you completed an eligible energy savings practice and didn’t get credit on your income tax, you may want to file an amended return. Write for lists of qualifying expenditures and more detailed information about the energy tax credits. A taxpayer should consult Internal Revenue Service publication 903, “Energy Credits for Individuals: and Form 5695, “Energy Credits.” I have in the office an excellent booklet with stepby-step instructions on in Sam n NEAD n EALTY Homes • Farms and Country Real Estate 33 plus acres in Castleton area, mostly timbered with some good building sites.

There’ll be 19 races beginning at 2 p.m. The doubleheader is onepriced admission. Wood Heat Saves (Continued from Page 3) The tree should be cut so as to leave a low stump and minimal damage to surrounding trees. Pieces of wood four inches or more in diameter should be split into two or more pieces. This will permit more rapid drying as well as facilitate handling. Most wood splits easier when green. Know the maximum length of wood your fireplace or stove can use, and cut the pieces two to three inches shorter. Possible sources of firewood include private landowners with woodlots or recently harvested timber, national forests, certain state forests, land clearing for housing and shopping center development and highway and utility rights-of-way, certain game commission lands. For additional information, contact County Forester Lyt Wood, Chief Forest Warden Tippy Jenkins or the Virginia Division of Forestry District Office in Madison. In addition, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is compiling a directory of firewood sources for this fall and winter. Persons or firms with firewood to sell can have a free listing in the monthly 1979-80 Firewood Directory by supplying VDACS with their name and address (including county), phone number with area code, business hours or hours when orders may be placed, types and sizes of wood available and type of sale (customers cut wood, customer pick-up or home delivery). Information for the Firewood Directory should be sent in to VDACS by September 20. The directory will Apple Outlook (Continued from Page 1) Snead acknowledged. “We need to get a better price for these apples. “He noted that more apple trees were going out of production in Rappahannock each season than were being reset. “There are no new orchards being planted at all.” he added. Snead and other Virginia growers support recently introduced federal legislation that will allow farmers to form marketing associations. The National Agricultural Bargaining Act of 1979 is a means to put apple growers in a position to negotiate with processors for a fair price, according to Snead. Even with the tool that this legislation would provide, orchardists will have to keep struggling, he maintained. Snead sees cooperative processing plants owned by growers as the ultimate answer. “We’re going to have to enter the market,” he concluded. “The competition’s going to have to come from somewhere.” For the present, however, Snead and other Rappahannock apple growers are holding their collective breaths until September 4 when National Fruit announces the verdict on this year’s prices.
