Jim Poffenburger from Potomac Edison reported that all 2,405 customers served by the power company in Rappahannock were without electricity from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Wednesday. “We lost our transmission into Rappahannock County,” ' he acknowledged. Eight to 15 inches of snow fell. “It was a very unusual storm. The trees were still in full folliage and' the weight of the snow sent them over on the lines. It caused devastating damage to our transmission, “Poffenburger said, adding that transmission to the Sperryville Forum Re-Scheduled The Candidates’ Forum, postponed*by the weather last week; hais been re-Scheduled for Wednesday evening, October 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Flint Hill fire hall. All candidates who are seeking office in'the general election on November 6' have been invited to participate. Annual House Tour This Weekend By SARAH LATHAM Rappahannock News Staff Writer Assuming that autumn will continue after last week’s disastrous interruption, all signals are on go for'the twenty-third annual' house tour and dried flower sale scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday, October 20 and 21. Tour hours are 11 to 5 Saturday and from 1 to 5 Sunday. Tour headquarters and' the flower salesroom will be located at" the parish hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. Three homes will be open for ' the tour. They include Robin Hill, home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Vawter in Flint Hill; Cave Lot, down'the F. T. Valley, which is former Senator Etigene McCarthy’s home and Mont Marlahthe home in Sperryville of Mrs. T. M. Johnston. The gentle beauty and dignity of Robin Hill is typical of “Our Rappahannock Heritage.” Documents indicate'that 150 years ago wagon trains of adventurers' heading west assembled nearby and Other documents tell of the raids by Yankee soldiers when cattle, horses and pigs were carried off. A barrel stave and wooden pin factory once operated here and in later years the home was used to' house migrant apple pickers. The house has been lovingly and professionally restored by the Vawters who came here from Old Town Alexandria. Among the fine antiques to be seen at Robin Hill are a pine hutch (circa 1840), long wood box made in Luray in 1820; an unusual tavern table; a pine comer cupboard, spinning wheel and hand-painted vases and a doll collection. The distinctive and gentle old world charm of Cave Lot, home of former Senator Eugene McCarthy, will beckon visitors. The present house was cleverly constructed around a 200 year old log cabin. Native materials as field stone, cherry, oak and chestnut paneling,' has been used in the interior. Items of interest in ’ the home are etchings, an 18th century tavern table, a sled 125 years old, and a patio substation wasn’t restored until mid-day Thursday. After transmission stations were put back in order, over 100 outside contractors from Luray and Winchester assisted regular Potomac Edison crews in repairing the power distribution system, Poffenburger said. The last Pepco customers in Rappahannock' had their electiricity back on by. late Sunday night. The delay in restoring power was due to the wide extent of storm damage, according to Poffenburger. “It covered' the whole area and' happened all at one time. We experienced every type of damage possible—broken poles, broken conductors, burned up conductors, individual service broken down by trees falling over.” “Repairs were impeded by blocked roads,' the softness of the ground,” Poffenburger continued. “We got our trucks in and limbs were still cracking and falling in' the woods.” Poffenburger said it was not yet possible to put a dollar figure on'the damage suffered by Potomac Edison. “It was one of'the costliest storms in the history of'the company,” he said. Francis Updike from Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative estimated his company’s damages from' the (Continued on Page 6) table made from a slab of marble from the Senator’s home state, Minnesota. Cradled in a small valley,' the home faces a stocked deepwater lake, and has sweeping lawns framed in a stand of white pines and a hardwood forest. Tea will be served both days in the elegant dining room of Mont Marlah which has a drop-leaf table, cornercupboard and buffet made of lumber from Walnut trees harvested from' the Witherow farm; the old Johnston home. Other interesting pieces include a small table made by Mrs. Johnston’s grandfather, a planter’s desk, a ladderback rocker which belonged to Mrs. Johnston’s great-great grandmother, an<I many pieces of old chinaaand crystal.

In conjunction with board members Charles Eldred and Alan Stokes, Eastham will prepare a questionnaire on drugs and alcohol that will be sent to parents of all Rap • —Rappahannock News Photo /S.

We should make it very clear that this board will develop the policy,” Eldred stated. Until 'the survey is completed and action taken by the board," the current drug and alcohol policy remains in effect, according to EaStham's resolution. In his resolution, Eastham also requested the Rappahannock News to print the current policy in its entirety prior to the survey. In a prefatory statement, Eastham reported that Sheriff W. A. Buntin had estimated drug abuse to be on the increase in Rappahannock County. He added that' high school principal Dennis Wingfield “also testified before the board” on increased drug use at RCHS during his 14 year Tenure. In addition, Eastham pointed to a recent survey of area service professionals taken by'the Rappahannock Task Force on Yoflth that listed drug and lcohol abuse as the top problem facing county youngsters. “There’s a mounting, indication that the drug policy we' have now is not being effectively enforced,” said Eastham. He reported that" he’d been told by someone familiar with the county’s Schools that “it makes no difference if .we ratin the current (drug) policy, make it stricter or more lenient because it will not be enforced.” Furthermore, said Eastham, his unidentified source maintained that the only drug policy that will be enforced is one leaving penalties “entirely to the discretion of the administration and faculty." “It is my personal belief after a deep and in-depth review of (current and proposed) policy and suggestions made (by the high school faculty and the Rappahannock County Education Association)' that the policy we have now can be more effectively enforced than what has been proposed, tastham said. In referring to some of the suggestions made by teachers, Eastham agreed that any policy should inflict harsher penalties for distribution of drugs than for use or possession. He maintained that the Board had differentiated between distribution and use in the past. I assumed on assurances of the administration that students and teachers are already given a drug education program,” Eastham continued, noting that such a program is called for under' the current drug policy. But judging by requests from teachers for inservice training on drug awareness, said Eastham, this policy is not being followed. He added later that a high school student had told him the drug education program at RCHS last year consisted of one film.

I always wanted to be a lawman but 1 never actually made up my mind." —What do you consider to be' the biggest crime problem in Rappahannock County? Corbin: “Drugs." —What do you mean by drugs? Corbin: "Marijuana. It’s a little more easier to obtain than other drugs. They can raise it anywhere they want. It's everywhere you go. Not just in Rappahannock. It's nationwide. It's even in the elementary school—not just the high school." —How would you combat drug traffic if elected? Corbin: “I would get out and scour the county. I would get all the information I could and if 1 got the goods on them. I'd make the arrest." —During recent work to update the School drug policy, the School board has expressed concern over the growing problem in the Schools. How would you attack the problem? Corbin: "I would visit the Schools and try to find out all that I could—if anyone was actually using drugs. Of course, you’ve got to actiiallv catch them with it before you can make an arrest. I'm sure the principal and the teachers could give you some help. I’m sure they have some ideas on who's on and who’s not."

Elementary Space Needs Becoming Critical By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Space needs at the elementary school received attention at last week’s meeting of the Rappahannock school board. Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel reported'that an additional elementary teacher for a self-contained learning disabilities class is projected for next year. “The reason I'm bringing it up now is because we do not have a classroom available,” he said. According to McDaniel, Rappahannock currently sends 14 learning disabled (LD) students to Piedmont regional school. Piedmont’s facilities should be used; he said, when a school has too few students in a particular category to justify hiring an additional teacher locally. There are enough Rappahannock students for another LD teacher in the county, he maintained. Of the 14 LD students at Piedmont, nine attend a morning class' that includes no students from any of'the other counties sharing in Piedmont, according to McDaniel. He told the board that Deborah Milburn, LD teacher at the elementary school, currently sees 13 students on a resource basis where' the pupils attend regular classes the majority of'the day and receive special help from her for several hours per week. McDaniel noted'that state guidelines allow Milburn to serve 16 students. He said, however,' that enrollment in her class can’t be expanded to'the fuH load because she currently handles six students on a resource basis wherr they should be in a self-contained classroom. These six require additional hours of Milburn’s time, he said. In addition, Milburn uses a room' that was formerly" the school dentist’s office. Size limitations, said McDaniel, allow her to work with only three pupils at a time. Gentleman’s Agreement According to McDaniel, schools using Piedmont share a “gentleman’s agreement” to limit enrollment in the regional school to students in sixth grade and' higher. Rappahannock sends five students who are in fourth and fifth grade, he reported. He said ’ he’d argued successfully with'the new SaptraJiatutnck -Neaia Rappahannock & 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.

"But there’s a question whether ' they’ll be accepted next year,”' he added. In addition to a room for a new LD teacher, McDaniel detailed other space needs at the elementary school. “The psychologist is very much in need of a work area...She’s currently' sharing' the audiovisual room (in the library) with the child development specialist,” he said. Both are part-time but overlap in'the hours they spend at the school, according to McDaniel. The child development specialist often brings in preschoolers for special help and must work with'them in'the same room used by tne psychologist for testing children suspected of having learning disabilities, McDaniel continued. To alleviate the overcrowding, ' the CDS teacher “has moved her desk to'the hallway,” he reported. “If the county had a fire policy,' that would be outlawed.” Should the CDS teacher need any materials from her work area, McDaniel added, she must interrupt the concentration of students being tested by the psychologist. ‘‘So we’re certainly hurting for space at the elementary school,”' he concluded. Chairman Beverly Massie interjected' that' the younger students’ attendance at Piedmont in apparent violation of agreed upon age restrictions was the result of a communications break. Enrollment of fourth and Resource Teacher Proposed The administration’s plans for expanding the gifted and talented program at Rappahannock elementary center around hiring one additional teacher for next year, according to a report from assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel presented at last week’s school board meeting. Using state guidelines for identification, McDaniel said there are 62 gifted and 28 talented elementary students and 38 gifted and 69 talented students at RCHS. He noted that the state reimburses $40 per student identified up to three percent of the county’s school population. Last year, Rappahannock received $1,800 in state funds for its gifted and talented program. The bulk of the money, McDaniel said, went toward running the instrumental music program at both schools and purchase of computer equipment for gifted math and science DOWNTOWN CULPEPER SPECIAL STORE HOURS Wednesday, Oct. 24th 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Closed 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. BIGGEST SALE DAYS ARE COMING!

Wed. fifth graders' had been okayed by ' the former administration,'she said. “You defeat the purpose of a small grouping when you have such a diversity of ages,’’ McDaniel responded. He noted ' that' the younger Rappahannock students can’t attend special classes at Piedmont full-time even though they need extra attention because it would mean fourth graders grouped with 11th graders. These same students can’t be kept now in all-day classes at Rappahannock elementary because the increased enrollment would exceed'the limit allowed for one LD resource teacher, McDaniel said. He added that the ^chool could lose funding if the enrollment limit was exceeded. As far as other school divisions are concerned, Orange County already provides its own LD program so Orange students aren’t sent to Piedmont, according to McDaniel. “Culpeper is thinking seriously about providing its own,” he said. McDaniel added that Piedmont may well drop its LD program if Rappahannock County is the only jurisdiction using it, forcing the county to institute local LD classes. “Any new position at the elementary School would require an additional classroom,’’" he repeated. “The LD teacher would provide better service with a larger classroom and we’d get a much better return on our dollars if "the psychologist had an adequate place to test children,” McDaniel concluded. students at the high school. Teacher recommendations for broadening the elementary gifted and talented program call for opportunities in'the creative arts and an expansion of the basic skills in math and reading, McDaniel continued. He posed'the possibility of hiring a resource teacher. “If we’re going to do something dramatic, we need additional personnel who can devote a lot of time” to gifted and talented students, “the leaders of tomorrow,’" he said. He noted that the state reimburse localities for extra money spent on'these future leaders at' the rate of $40 per student while certain categories of special education receive reimbursement up to $850 per pupil. Superintendent William Bloomer interjected that the state’s gifted and talented reimbursement rate will be increased from $40 to $50 in the next biennium, a 20 percent jump. Chairman Beverly Massie suggested that the schools use some of the “many talented individuals” in Rappahannock to conduct mini-courses for gifted and talented pupils. McDaniel responded ' that the administration was already working on the possibility of' having guest speakers—“noted writers, photographers and artists”—at the Schools. In addition, students could be taken to various special activities in the Washington metropolitan area as part of a gifted and talented program, McDaniel added.

Willis Chapel: Stranger Than Fiction Truth is often stranger than fiction, and a case in point is the story of A. G. Willis, a Civil War hero, executed at the foot of Front Royal mountain and buried in the Baptist Cemetery in Flint Hill. This compares to a “Tale of Two Cities.” Albert Gallatin Willis served with Mosby’s Rangers, a military unit formed in Front Royal. He had received a furlough and was enroute to visit relatives in Rapidan when his horse went lame south of Flint Hill. Willis stopped at Gaines Crossroads, now Ben Venue, to have his horse tended. As he dried his feet by the forge, the hammering of the smithy drowned out the sounds of approaching Yankees. Willis and a comrade were taken captive by the soldiers from the north, who had orders from General Grant to “hang a man without trial” in retaliation for the hanging of a Northern spy by Mosby and his men. Willis was a Baptist ministerial student, and when the Yankee officer, General Powell, discovered this, he allowed Willis’ life to be spared on the exemption of a chaplain. Soldier Willis refused the exemption. To determine which of the two prisoners should be executed, General Powell had Willis and his comrade draw straws. The comrade drew the short straw which designated him as the intended victim to be hung. This man became terribly upset, saying, *‘I have a - _> VSv' - m ‘ mm MMwnm * j GOTOiCR 14, <%vu m ?.> ■ or n i mm jMPTURE&n? mm m i - uum i RIAilNltlHI .. young family. I am not a Christian and am afraid to die!” According to history, Willis replied, “I have no family; I am a Christian and I am not afraid to die.” He requested that he be allowed to pray before he died and his request was granted. In his prayers he asked God’s forgiveness ofhis executioners. After the hanging which took place near Huntly, Willis’ body was removed from the tree and placed in a grave in a corner of the Baptist Cemetery in Flint Hill. The tree from which Willis was hung decayed from age and weather and was destroyed when Route 522 to Front Royal was widened. To establish the place, an historical marker was erected. The church at the foot of the mountain, formerly known as Shiloh Methodist, was renamed Willis Chapel in memory of this brave, young man who freely gave his life for his fellowman. —Drug Policy (Continued from Page 1) board action for First offenses. Eastham argued' that ’ the board should adopt separate policies for alcohol and drugs. “No one wants to keep even a can of Miller beer off the school grounds more than I do (but) I don’t consider equating drugs and alcohol conducive or constructive to a more effective policy.” If alcohol is classified as a drug substance, Eastham continued, “then ' the whole weight of'the policy falls on the head of one little beer.” Under the current policy, he pointed, out, alcohol is addressed in 'the conduct section which states that students under'the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be permitted to attend clases or participate in any school activities with penalties for violation applied in accordance with school policy and state law.

I don’t' think anywhere in Rappahannock you’ll find students going home and seeing daddy smoking marijuana, japping heroin or sniffing cocaine,*’ he said. “Adopt this policy (with equal penalties for drug and alcohol use) and'the'children will' think we’re' the same old hypocritical bumpkins who say one thing and do another,” Eastham warned. With “the whole county going to ABC stores,” it will only widen the generation gap to make alcohol use subject to the same disciplinary action as heroin, cocaine and marijuana,' he maintained. Rules Of Conduct “I wouldn’t look to ' the Rappahannock school board to define what is a dangerous substance but to establish rules of conduct,” responded mental health clinic director Jim McGarvey, at'the school board meeting to explain substance abuse counseling programs offered by the Rappahannock clinic. Is alcohol a drug? That s a very controversial' thing,” McGarvey said. He noted that' the National Institute of Mental Health had combined the funding and leadership of alcohol and drug probrams under “substance abuse.” He added' that' this seemed to be the trend at federal and state levels. "From what 1 hear and the reports I read, alcohol is on a par with drugs,” McGarvey said. “Alcohol is a subtle kind of thing. It has the same addictability as drugs.” McGarvey acknowledged, however,' that' the side effects of alchol don’t seem to be as serious as those erf hard drugs in the area of genetics. Use, Not Addiction “WeTe not addressing alcohol from the standpoint of alcoholism but simply from' the standpoint' that it has no place in' the school system from a can of beer on,” interjected Eldred. “If we send you a student convicted of drinking beer in the parking lot, are we sending you someone you can do something about?”' he asked. As with marijuana use, McGarvey replied, it would depend whether'the incident Use our Lay-Away Plan FRONT ROYAL, VIRGINIA Visa and Master Charge accepted was an isolated event indicative of youthful experimentation or whether it was a signal of a deeper problem. Earlier in the meeting, McGarvey detailed the counseling program provided by the mental health clinic in coordination with the proposed school policy on drug and alcohol use. The proposed policy stipulates ' that any student found using, possessing or distributing drugs or alcohol be required to attend counseling sessions with a parent before being readmitted to School after a twoweek suspension. Should'the student of his parents refuse to attend ' the sessions,' the suspension period will be lengthened to four weeks, under the proposed policy revisions. McGarvey said the counseling will consist of four weekly one-hour sessions with the student and parents meeting with mental health clinic staff separately and together. The counseling sessions will provide the family with an opportunity to look af the student’s problem with drugs or alcohol in a "gentle, subtle, non-threatening way,” he said. In addition, parents and student will be given leaflets on substance abuse to take home and read for discussion at'the next session. “At" the end of the four weeks, we will present an evaluation to'the family and expect one from them” on whether ' the infraction of School policy is “adolescent experimentation or a symptom of a deeper problem,” McGarvey said. Chairman Beverly Massie asked if the counseling provided to students last year on a more informal basis had shown any success. “It’S hard to measure'the effectiveness of what we do,” McGarvey answered. “Only one or two of the families out of 'the four or five referred last year really cooperated...There’s still a certain stigma attached to being referred to a mental health clinic,” he noted. McGarvey agreed with Eldred' that' there’s a “very real possibility” that counseling “might ' help some," adding that a similar program had been successful in Fairfax County. Marijuana Use “Is marijuana addictive?” asked board member Walter Masterson. “Some of the latest studies i seem to suggest that it 1 is-^that it leads to a certain * way of life,” McGarvey J replied, adding that ? marijuana use also carried /' “genetic consequences.” By comparison with drugs, alcohol is very subtle, McGarvey continued. “It doesn’t receive "the notoriety that drugs do (but) I don’t think we should kid outPARK THEATRE -ffl-T »0r«L v. 63 Fri.&S«. 7:20 64® Sit/Sun.

The answer to Masteron’s question will apparently wait until after "the drug and alcohol questionnaires come back from parents. Stokes, EaStham and Eldred will formulate" the survey with the questionnaire slated to come up for approval at the November 6 board meeting. Apple Day This Sat.

But prospects keep turning it down because they claim'the tax rate is too' high. How do you meet this objection? It just may be that the taxes in your town are actually lower per dollar value ' than neighboring, less desirable communities. Remember, taxes are not determined by tax rate alone. They’re also determined by ' the valuation practices of the local assessors. In some areas,' homes may be assessed at only 25 per cent of true value. In Other areas, it may run 50 per cent or 70 per cent. So you must take both the tax rate and the local valuation practice into consideration. Don’t be misled by an apparently low tax rate. This is one of the reasons why it pays to sell your house through a local Realtor. It’s his business to be familiar with this vital information. He's an expert negotiator and has the facts to back up his claims. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY. REALTOR.

Washington, Va. 22747 Hours: 8:30 am to 6 JO pm, Mon. - Frl. PubHshad by Warrantors Printing ft Publishing Company. Inc. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18,1979 Drug Policy The school board has been wrestling with revisions on drug policy for several months now. At last week’s board meeting, adoption of the proposed policy was postponed to allow time for parental input through questionnaries that will be sent home sometime in the coming month. It’s a tempest in a tea pot—or pot pipe, as the case may be. The Rappahannock News has been asked to print the current drug policy as a public service before the survey forms are distributed. We agree that it’s ridiculous to expect parents to comment intelligently on a policy they’ve never seen. But it’s just as ridiculous to send out questionnaries in the first place. The board members have already emphasized that the survey is informational only. It’s not intended as a poll or a directive for the school board. The board has stressed that the board will decide the policy. So why don’t they? Why take a poll on what parents think about drugs versus alcohol? Why quiz parents on what the penalties for drug or alcohol use should be? We guarantee that the overwhelming majority are going to be for strict enforcement of anti-drug gnd alcohol rules—that is, until their son or daughter is caught. Then the rules, no matter how lenient, no matter how strict, are going to be too inflexible. The drug policy is not a matter for community debate. The only groups that have a legitimate claim on input are the teachers and administrators,—the persons who will have to shoulder the responsibility for enforcing the rules. The school board doesn’t have to ponder the philosophical distinctions between the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. They must only decide what is and is not acceptable conduct on school property and at school functions and set the penalties for violations of the rules. Robert Eastham is concerned that the school board will appear hypocritical if it exacts the same penalties for the use of alcohol as for drugs. Is he as concerned about differentiating between different types of drugs? Both medical experts and the law recognize a vast difference between the dangers of marijuana use and heroin use. Will the board differentiate between penalties there? Will they differentiate between heroin and cocaine? Between amphetamines and barbituates? We think the board would be mistaken to apply lesser penalties for alcohol than for drugs. A recent survey of 13,000 youths in 48 states and D.C. taken by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism shows that 19 percent of students in grades seven through 12 are problem drinkers. A whopping 74 percent of teenagers are drinkers—79 percent of the boys and 70 percent of the girls, according to the survey. In view of these statistics, we think it s time for the board to stop soul searching. Alcohol, drugs, any controlled substance has no place in our public schools. All are equally unacceptable and should be labeled as such. Jenkins Pledges Full Time (Continued from Page 1) myself. I think I’m qualified to handle the office. —If elected', how available will you be to the public? Jenkins: “As before, I offer the public what I consider a full work week. I pledge' this time as the last that I will fulfill my office. It will take priority to any other interests that 1 have. —Will you continue to run your auctioneering business? Jenkins: “In may last term in office, I continued to do auction work. If elected sheriff of Rappahannock County, I will fulfill my duties but I will continue to do auction work.” —What do you see as' the county’s most serious crime problem? Jenkins: “It appears, after being away from' the' sheriffs office for a while, reading the paper and catching'the news from people who come into the store, that breaking and entering could be one of our most serious problems, especially in homes that are left sitting idle during the week. —What do you think could be done to reduce' the instances of breaking and entering? Jenkins: “I don’t guess I could make any changes that would reduce" the number of breaking and enterings past what anyone else could do. “If elected, I would spend more time with crime rather than traffic problems and violations on the highways.” —Do you "think Rappahannock County" has a serious drug problem? Jenkins: “I’ve discussed this with several school board members. They’re very concerned about this problem. With ' the" help of the school system and " the state police, I' think it could be controlled very easily,” —Do you think "there’s hard drug traffic in "the county? Jenkins: “I didn’t" think so that much until discussing it with several School board members and "they think there is so I feel" there’s a lot going on" that I’m not aware of.” —Both candidates for commonwealth attorney have offered to conduct educational programs for" the sheriffs department on areas of law that are particularly complicated, for instance’ the laws governing search and seizure. If elected, would you take advantage of this? Jenkins: “I’ve discussed this with both candidates. Anytime anyone can receive schooling that pertains to their job, it’s certainly worthwhile to proceed.” —Would you try to obtain county cars for' the' sheriffs department? Jenkins: ‘‘Personally, I think county cars would be nice but I would certainly want to investigate a little further to see what’s cheaper—paying mileage or buying cars. “When I was sheriff before, I never pushed for county cars because I thought ’the county was getting a cheaper rate for partolling by paying mileage. Certainly, I’d have to investigate further. “However, if we continue fo use private vehicles, they should be vehicles that pertain to the job and they certainly should be marked as such.” —inere nas oeen a complete turn-over in fulltime deputies during the past year. From your experience as sheriff, do you think it’s difficult to attract and keep qualified personnel? Jenkins: “When I was sheriff, 'the 'chief deputy started out with me when I went to work and the parttime deputy started out with me when I went to work and they continued with me throughout my term in office. We did' have a change in correctional officers.” \ —You had no difficulty in finding qualified men for the jobs? Jenkins: “There are well qualified men in the county interested in police work and they would certainly stay with the job if they were appointed deputy.” —Do you ' think you can work well with other law enforcement agencies? Jenkins: “I will do my very best to work with anyone connected with police work. I had no problem, as far as I know, during my previous term in cooperating with Other law enforcement agencies.” —If elected, is there any area of law enforcement1 that you think requires extra concentration? Jenkins: “I definitely think that country people need more attention' than ’ they’re now receiving due to’ the fact that they live on back roads. There are people who travel those back roads who are considering breaking and entering. ‘‘I would give country roads, back roads more attention than the major highways. Patrolling’there is strictly the state police’s duty.” —What steps would you take to improve compliance with the county’s trash laws? Jenkins: "During my last term as sheriff, trash was also a problem. We spent many hours, many trips to the dump sites to prevent the dumpsters from being misused. "But the dumpsters are 10, 12, 15 miles apart. It’s pretty hard to watch all of them all the time. I think trash will always be a problem in rural areas where the dumpsters aren’t watched by neighborly people. But I would do my best to watch them as well as it could be done.” —How familiar are you with Rappahannock County? Jenkins: “1 feel I know Rappahannock County as well as anyone who lives in the county.” Our Rappahannock Heritage ---"Kw jCSU-w.wnw'-wr —Rappahannock News Photo/S. Latham Letters To The Editor Awash With Trash To the editor: In a letter dated September 6, 1979, to'the Board of Supervisors of Rappahannock County I pointed to the fact that throughout this county, and specifically at Amissville, dumpster sites are awash with litter of all kinds and I asked the Board of Supervisors to abandon their apparent blase’ attitude and to take some positive action to enforce ' the local ordinances as pertain to'the use of these dumpster sites. At that time I described the Amissville site as “a stinking roadside dump acrawl with rats and putrefaction; a niche in'the landscape open to every passerby’s disgust.” The Rappahannock News of Thursday, September 13, 1979, contains an article titled Supervisors Request Dumpster Patrol in which is stated, in part, “The Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department will patrol county dumpster sites in a move to curb abuse of trash receptacles. Following a short executive session with Sheriff W. A. Buntin at last Thursday’s (September 6) board meeting, supervisor vice^hairman Dick Latham announced' that Buntin had been asked to vigorously enforce trash ordinances.” Well, after a'short flurry of interest and enforcement we are right back where we started, minus two steps. The same old apathy has surfaced and'things are getting worse rather than better. The filth is still'there and the problem ' has been compounded by the fact there is now no adequate access to the Amissville dump site. Rather'than walk or drive ' through ' the mud some individuals are placing their trash on ' the ground rather than in the receptacles. Anyone who passed this dump' this morning, Monday, October 15,' should have been appalled by its condition. In my opinion,'those who created'this mess,'those who tolerate it, each member of the Board of Supervisors and the 'Sheriff’s Department should’ hang ' their head in shame. LARRY GENEBACH Amissville —Rappahannock News Photo/L. Genebach AMISSVILLE DUMPSTER—This photograph taken by Larry Genebach shows the misuse and abuse of the dumpsters provided by the county. Slobs who would call themselves respectable citizens throw their' trash on the ground when obviously the containers are not full and there is room inside for the refuse. The slobs only do this when there is no one looking. Should the county provide the trash service and then have to provide someone to watch the dumpsters around the clock? New Track To the editor: Regarding title to'the new track being' held by the Panther Athletic League, I would like to point out'this fundamental fact: If anyone is foolish enough to build a house on anyone else’s land, he has no house. Title goes with the land on which the house rests. So be it with' the track. It has been built on school property,' therefore it is school property and nobody in PAL argues the question. PAL agrees'that'the track has drainage problems. Since we have just had 24.75 inches of rain in' the last nine weeks, there are a lot of drainage problems in'the county, but, as in many sections, it is impossible to get machinery in on'this property now and make any corrections. Mr. Aldrich, with his own machinery, cleared'this land at no expense to anybody. PAL, with no contract, brought in a bulldozer by the hour, and has paid for same. There was no liability on' the part of the School Board. The land can be drained. PAL believes that if has enough money to put in drainage and to reseed ' the infield area when' the land is dry enough to do so. The services of the County Engineer will be welcomed. If anyone becomes impatient, just remember' that in' this immediate territory, it takes several years just to move a gas tank! C. E. JOHNSON JR. Treasurer Panther Athletic League SNOW Last Wednesday’s snow storm will go down in Rappahannock history as one of'the most damaging and certainly 'the most unexpected. The following impressions of the storm written by ‘ third graders in Diane Wood’s class at Rappahannock Elementary School offer a unique perspective on of 'the devastation. ++++ "When I was in bed, I thought I heard rifles but I had' heard trees falling. When I got out of bed both my brothers were up and we asked if we could go outside but our mom said we couldn’t because the trees were falling. When we got to go out, we had a snowball fight. When I went down to our shop, I saw my cat jumping over snow so I put him in' the snow. When I put him in,'he got pretty mad so I took him out and' that’s' the end. David Diehl I woke up October tenth. I saw snow on the ground! I went doownstairs and went outside and I saw snow! I asked my sister if there was school. She said "No.” I went back to bed. Then I woke up again. Then I came downstairs again. Then I asked my sister, “Is it snowing?” She said “Yes.” Tony Williams ++++ A tree fell on my house. I think it was almost a couple of inches. My grandmother told me to get up. She said it was snowing. I said, “No, it is not.” Then”she said “I don’t think there will be school today.” I said anyway we would have school. The lights went out. We used candles. When night came, we used candles at night too. I heard trees cracking. They sounded like ‘ shotguns going off. We had to cook breakfast on a wood stove and dinner and supper too. We couldn’t get out of the road. There was a tree where my dad kept pigs. I wanted to come to school today. It wasrthe badest snow we have had. Belinda Jenkins ++++ I woke up and went in' the kitchen and got some crackers and apple butter. I heard a tree fall on the roof. I went in' the living room. And saw that it was SNOW!!! Kelly Williams Resource Teacher Proposed (Continued from Page 2) Eastham asked if McDaniel had any objections to (1) grouping gifted or talented students together on the basis of ability, (2) sending'these students to other school districts as representatives of Rappahannock with the school board paying the cost, (3) devoting a portion of their School day to' their special interests or talents, and (4) paying specially trained teachers a higher salary for working with gifted and talented students. “I’m describing the gifted and talented program ' that has existed in Rappahannock for years. I’m talking about our program for gifted and talented basketball players," Eastham stated. “I’m trying to make a point,”' he explained. “No one objects to giving special attention to gifted and talented basektball players. Why object to spending extra money on a student highly talented in chemistry?” Eastham asked. “One of' the' things with basketball is' that you have a paying clientele. No one flocks to the gym to see students conduct an experiment,” McDaniel remarked. “With 'the dollar figure we’re working with, we can do more ' than we’re doing now,” he continued. “But we have a problem with time..'.there’s just so much we can do to coordinate a gifted and talented program and unless we have coordination, it won’t get off the ground,” McDaniel added that classroom teachers already have more' than enough work and can’t be expected to devote time after school hours to coordinating a gifted and talented program unless they are reimbursed. ‘‘We’ have to face the possibility of' hiring additional " help,” board member Charles Eldred responded. Additional Resource Teacher McDaniel explained that one additional teacher experienced in creative writing could combine efforts with someone on' the current staff with math expertise. The two could alternate in providing gifted students with intensive instruction in math and reading for one-half hour per week. The new teacher could take over' the regular class when the Other was working with gifted students in math, McDaniel explained. “Where do we go from here?” asked Eastham. “We increase next year’s budget to cover it,” Eldred replied. “We will do as much as possible to expand last year’s program (with funds already included in the 1979-80 budget),” Bloomer added. “Then we’ll come back to the board before budget time” with proposals on a structured program for next year, he said. Bloomer reported'that, for the first time- this year, junior and senior English students at RCHS are being separated into more academic college bound and non-college bound classes. If' this approach brings results,' he said, it may be extended all the way down to eighth and ninth grade. Bloomer added that an honors group may also be selected for science classes. “When the state puts'the major emphasis on special education,' that’s where our concentration' has been,” Bloomer concluded in explaining' the lack of attention paid in' the past to gifted and talented students. Transportation Fees Dropped As the result of a cost analysis on extra-curricular and field trip transportation costs and a legal opinion from their attorney, the school board members voted unanimously to drop'the fee they instituted at last months’ meeting for student transportation. At that time, the board agreed to charge students a fee not to exceed 50 cents to defray transportation cost increases caused by the jump in gasoline prices. Members of athletic teams traveling to away games were included in the fee system as well as students on field trips. Bloomer explained that the board may charge transportation fees only for activities of a voluntary nature, not for required athletic events that athletes are expected to attend, according to 'the board’s attorney. “The board is made up of lay people, not fully knowledgeable of all laws,” Mrs. Massie responded. “It is evident'that we have made a mistake in lumping field trips and extra-curricular activities together.” Cost analysis' shows a net deficit of $867.10 in the 197980 budget for the cost of gas and oil for field trips, according to Bloomer. He pointed out' that' this amount can be covered with the $1,349 saved over the amount budgeted for insurance premiums for the school’s transportation fleet. “Then we won’t' have to charge for any trips,”' he said. “I‘ have been made a Christian,” announced Eastham.” I have learned in Rappahannock County' that you touch athletics at your peril,” he added with a wide smile. “I assumed athletic trips and Smithsonian trips were 'the same animals,” Eastham said, adding that he was ready to change' his earlier vote to charge extra transportation fees. “Based on' the information he had, we probably made the only logical decision we could' have at ' that time,” added Eld red, also agreeing to'change his vote. “We should' have asked. Dr. Bloomer to present us with a cost analysis before we made our decision,” Mrs. Massie noted. The board’s unanimous vote to rescind' the charges also carried ' the stipulation that additional transportation expenses will be covered by savings in fleet insurance.

During this crisis, you, our customers were both understanding and cooperative as PE fought around the clock to restore power.

These included other PE crews plus crewmen from Asplundh Tree Trimmers and Wright Construction Company. A special helicopter line patrol was also brought into service. Please accept our sincere thanks and appreciation for your patience and understanding throughout the emergency. Also a special word of thanks to our own employees who worked so tirelessly and to local police and fire departments who provided their valuable assistance.

Library Lines By FRANCESLYNE DID YOU KNOW? —Rappahannock County Public Library has many materials to offer the visually ' handicapped or anyone with a special need. There are many, many materials and service available without cost. DID YOU KNOW there are people ready to make these materials available to the visually handicapped in Rappahannock? DID YOU KNOW there are large print magazines in The Rappahannock County Library for" the use of those who need them? DID YOU KNOW there are wonderful books on tapes for your listening pleasure? DID YOU KNOW there is so much available to enrich one’s life ' that ’ there is no need for anyone to feel'shut out from' the world due to lack of vision? For information on what is available contact Rappahannock County Library 575-3780 or Frances Lyne )87-8291.4 Buntin Is Schooled And Experienced (Continued from Page 1) weeks training' that covered laws of arrest, rules of evidence, Virginia’s motor vehicle code, fingerprinting classification and identification, firing on the range, self-defense, first aid and basic skills in motor vehicle operation. “Then each year during my 29 years on'the force, I attended a refresher course in Richmond for one week on all of the above subjects.” —The topic of drug problems in Rappahannock has risen repeatedly in conjunction with the School board’s effort to formulate a new drug policy. What is" the scope of drug incidence here? Buntin: ‘There’s an increased drug problem everywhere. The drug problem in Rappahannock County certainly is not as. extensive as in many other places.” —Have you seen evidence of traffic in heroin, cocaine and other hard drugs? Buntin: "Nearly every kid has had' the opportunity to smoke a cigarette of marijuana at some time. I don’t say that everyone of them has done so but" they’ve had the opportunity, t think. "Mr. Wingfield (high school principal Dennis Wingfield) has stayed right on it and reported it all to us. We investigate and take whatever action we think appropriate in every case that’s reported to us.” “Every once in a while, someone will tell us that somebody has an ounce of heroin but we haven’t seen any. We haven’t run into any. I’m sure we don’t have any greater drug problem ' than everybody else has and I don’t thing our drug problems are as great as in most other places.” —Both candidates for commonwealth attorney have expressed a willingness to work with the sheriffs department to reduce the number of nolle prosequi cases. Do you think an educational program on the laws of search and seizure and Other sensitive areas will help reach this goal? Buntin: “First of all, I don’t' think we have a big problem with unlawful search and seizure. We’ve had a few but not many. “However, all the education any of us can get certainly would be beneficial. We would welcome the opportunity for more. The Corbin Wants Jail Office (Continued from Page 1) —If elected, would you encourage your department to take advantage of the law enforcement educational programs offered by both candidates for commonwealth attorney? Corbin: “I think it would be a great help. After all, we’re all working toward’ the same goal.” —As sheriff, would you push for county cars? Corbin: “ Not really. I think ' this ’ the only county that doesn’t furnish them but I wouldn’t push for cars. It would help to identify,’the police but I wouldn’t push. We’ve gotten along this far without ' them. I ’ think we could go a while longer.” —Do you anticipate difficulty in finding and keeping qualified men in the sheriffs department? Corbin: “If I were to get elected, I would' hire local guys, no men out of the county. We' have qualified men' here and I' think we should' hire county personnel.” —As sheriff, how available would you be to the public? Corbin: “24 hours a day, seven days a week. I’m fulltime. I made'that statement earlier.” —Do you ' think you can work well with other law enforcement agencies? “I think we all should cooperate. After all, as I said before, we’re all striving for the same goal.” —uo you ieei mere are any areas of law enforcement in Rappahannock County' that need special concentration? Corbin: “I can’t see anything that needs immediate attention.” —In view of the conditions in Amissville and other dumpster sites, what would you do to improve compliance with county trash laws? Corbin: “That’s hard to do unless you keep 24-hour surveilance. It’s not just Amissville. AH'the dumpster sites are the same way. “Either you keep 24-hour surveilance or you fence it in and' have someone operate the gates. That’s the only way I see. “The sheriff may come in and sit for a couple of hours. They’ll see you sitting'there and' they’ll go on away and come back later. It’s more or less a waste of the taxpayers’ money unless you sit there 24 hours a day.” —How well do you know Rappahannock County? Corbin: “Like'the back of my hand. I’ve been here all my life.” “Another statement I’d like to make—:-the county’s hard pressed for office space. If I’m elected and if it's feasible with the supervisors, I would like to set my office up in the jail and let someone else' have the space in the court house. It would save the county money and f think the sheriffs office should be in the jail.” | deputies are going to school on search and seizure and the law of arrest. Of course, I’ve already had it and I’m pretty^ well up on it but we all get* rusty and1 can use some refresher work now and then. We would all welcome' the opportunity to work with either of" the commonwealth attorney candidates in any area that’s needed.” —Would you push for county^ cars for ’ the' sheriff*s department? “I have asked for county cars every year that I’ve been in office. I" think we should have them and I think that in the long run, it would save the county money. “It would also be an incentive to better police work, for better policing. It would be beneficial to' the public to see us and know we’re out there. Most people don’t recognize unmarked cars. They ask me where we’ve been because they never see a patrol car. I'think everybody would be better served if we had county cars and I will continue to ask for them.” —There ‘ has been a complete turn-over of fulltime deputies irr the last year. Is it difficult to attract and keep qualified men? Buntin: “Yes it is. For one thing, we don't have cars. For another, our pay scale is lower ’ than' the surrounding counties and other police agencies. It’s difficult to find local people who are qualified and interested in police work.” —What sort of training is provided to new deputies without police experience? Buntin: “They have to have seven weeks of training at the Central Shenandoah Criminal Justice Training Center at Waynesboro within the first year' they’re hired in order to qualify for'the pay scale ' that’s set up by ' the Sheriffs Association. The cost of'this training is paid through LEA A, 5 percent State. 90 percent Federal, 5 percent County.” —How available are you to the public? Buntin: As a department, we try to be available 24 hours a day. Personally, anytime that I’m in the county—either at home or at the office—I’m available. And I’m in'the county most of the time, practically all the time except for one vacation during the summer. “I work five days a week and at least two nights. I’m available at home'the rest of the time.” —What kind of cooperation do you have with other law enforcement agencies? Buntin: “We have excellent cooperation with the state police. We work very closely with 'them. The deputies ride with' them on many occasions. We have no problems with any Other surrounding police departments. “I think I feel closer td the state police because I spent 29 years on the force. But I feel like I would get along with'them whether I had or not.” —Are there differences between the state police and the sheriffs department in areas of jurisdiction? Buntin: “The sheriffs department" has exclusive jurisdiction in'the county in which we work. Further, we have jurisdiction in surrounding counties in order to serve civil papers. The state police are vested with power above ' the sheriff to enforce all 'the laws of the Stoll Mamt Health I am pleased to announce the establishment of my new firm, conveniently located at the old Toll House. If you wish to buy or sell a home, business or acreage, please contact me. I can offer you the best in service and look forward to continuing to help you with all your real estate needs. Rts. 211 and 522 Washington, Virginia 987-8600 * JOSEPH NORDONE, BROKER, 987-8691 LEI REALTOR ‘ {state. The only difference is theirs is statewide and ours is countywide. “State police are primarily thought of as traffic policemen but'they’re vested with'the authority to enforce alt the laws of the state. State and local police' have the same authority in principle. Differences come more or less from practice.” —The dumpster sites in Rappahannock have been a disgrace for years. What steps can be taken to bring about compliance with ' the county’s trash ordinances? Buntin: ‘T think one-of the important' things is to have signs made to put up on' the dumpsters, advising the public who’s supposed to use them and for what purposes. “Amissville is a good example of' the problems we run into without signs. There are people who' have an Amissville address, who conduct all'their business in Amissville but actually live in Culpeper County. They don’t know they can’t use the dumpsters. “It’s the same with other locations. There are people from Culpeper who use the Scrabble dumpster and don’t know ' they’re not supposed to. They come over from Front Royal to visit relatives in Flint Hill and drop off a couple bags of trash in Huntly. They don’t know they’re not supposed to. “People see" the dumpsters and they'think'they can put their trash in ' them. They should be marked with signs. “We are concentrating more on dumpster violations. We’ve placed' three ' charges within' the last two weeks but we do need 'the' help of signs." “There are-those who use and abuse the dumpsters; people who throw their refuse on-the ground or-those who get in" the dumpsters looking for salvage. They don’t do it while-there’s anyone around. With, only one person on duty each-shift,-there is no way we cart have someone watching three dumpster sites and doing the other necessary work too. —Do you see any area of law enforcement in Rappahannock County that needs immediate improvement? Buntin: “Extra attention is needed in follow-up investigations on burglaries and larcenies. With- the extra man we got this year, we’ll be able to devote more time to that. Our situation still isn’t perfect but it has improved. “About all we could do before was make'the initial investigation. By the time we were ’ through, we had' three or four more to take care of. We've been ’ short on followup investigations. There’s no question about it.” —How well do you know Rappahannock County? Buntin: “In my 29 years with the state police and three and a half years ais sheriff, I’ve come to know every road "thoroughly. I know practically where all the people in" the county live. For efficiency, I think it’s important to know Rappahannock well. We’re able to respond to emergency calls quickly. We’re also able to serve papers easily, giving us more time for other police work.” COLORFUL RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY!!
