At the recent meeting of the school’s Parents’ Association, Administrator William Lynn presented details of the building plans approved , earlier in the year by the school’s Board of Trustees. The plans call for six classrooms, including two large science laboratories for use of the preparatory school, and a gymnasium containing a regulation basketball court, locker rooms and 25 meter swimming pool. Lynn pointed out that the classrooms are needed to accommodate the rapidly increasing enrollment of the preparatory school which is expected to more than double next year. The science facility will incorporate the most up-todate features of laboratory design and will permit teaching advanced placement courses in biology, chemistry, and physics, which the school presently offers. The existing laboratories will be turned over to the primary and grammar, school for science use. An interesting feature of the planned gymnasium is a solar heating system which will utilize the water in the pool for heat storage.

Try Sperryville For Christmas Shopping By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Say “shopping in Sperryville” and two things pop immediately to mind: the Corner Store’s beef or the Sperryville Emporium. But the little community nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains along Route 211 offers Christmas shoppers a wider range of gift ideas than t-bone stakes and souvenirs. For antique hunters, Sperryville is a bonanza. And Fairlawn Antiques at the corner of Route 522 is the mother lode.

Jerry Martin and Werner Krebser and Patricia Saltonstall were unanimous in their designation of alcohol as the drug most widely used and abused by Rappahannock youngsters. “We may have some problem here as far as marijuana goes but alcohol is by far the biggest problem in Rappahannock County," said Dr. Krebser. “There are many drugs in use in Rappahannock County. Alcohol, of course, is the star,” Treanor agreed. “We’ve perhaps been more successful than we realize in convincing kids to distrust the quality of drugs supplied by pushers,” said Young. “But kids have learned that they can trust ABC stores, drug stores and their parents’ supply for proper labeling, quality and alcholic content.” According to Young, society sends kids mixed messages on drinking: it’s all right for adults to imbibe but not for youngsters to do the same. While alcohol is legal—at least for adults—marijuana and other drugs are illegal for everyone and therefore, harder to get with more stringent penalties for UN>>he noted; “More ki& today are involved with alcohol than with fnarijuana, heroin and cocaine combined.” Young described alcohol as a depressant and an anesthesizing drug that impairs thinking and lessens motor control. “Alcohol causes more deaths, family problems and accidents than all other drugs combined,” he said. He pointed to recent trends among youth toward mixing alcohol and other drugs. With this new approach, “kids are often playing with a lot of fire,” Young said. Drugs Cause Changes Dr. Krebser defined drug as “any substance that causes changes in living protoplasm.” He included alcohol in that category. “Basically, it is a drug.” Reviewing other popular drug substances, Krebser noted that marijuana use has increased to the point where 10 to 12 million Americans take it. “Most adolescents, if they do it, smoke once a month,” he added. Smokfng marijuana produces euphoria, loosened emotions and impaired (Continued on Page 3) have filled room after room with furniture, china, crystal, porcelain and paintings. The old slave quarters behind the main Fairlawn building are filled with early American antiques. The DeMent's new barn over 70 feet, long is crammed to the rafters.

Partitions separate beds, some in a state of undress and some with old quilts, also for sale, pulled up over the mattresses. “We’re here 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Mrs. DeMent, explaining that the family lives in the main house midst all, t|he antiques. ‘-‘We opMteetwetn 9 and 10 and we usually close about dark unless someone’s still here looking around,” she said, adding that it only takes a phone call from a prospective customer to open Fairlawn back up again.

At an earlier public hearing, the planners tabled the co-op’s rezoning application for 9.66 acres behind the business’ new location on Route 211. I ney requested the cooperative’s board of directors to consider (1) retaining the current agricultural designation on the property instead of seeking a rezoning to commercial (B-2) and (2) dropping the amount of land involved in the request from the entire 9.66 acres to a smaller portion of the tract. At Wednesday’s special meeting. Bill Fletcher, attorney for the co-op, indicated that his clients would not alter their original application in any way. Fletcher insisted that commercial was the proper category for the 9.66 acre lot since the co-op is a retail store. ‘‘The only reason they’re asking for the rezoning is because the co-op wants to plan for the future. The co-op doesn’t want to be limited...One sure way to cut the throat of a business is not to allow it to expand. If they go on and don’t have room to enpaiwkf max -have-to move to another area,” Fletcher warned. Planner E. P. Luke asked if Fletcher had reviewed with the directors requirements for screening and control of noise, smoke, pollutants, etc. covered in Article 13 of the county’s zoning ordinance. These requirements would apply to the property involved in the application if the rezoning is approved, Luke stressed. Fletcher replied Jhat he’d gone over Article 13 with T. E. Gore, general manager of the Culpeper cooperative and assumed that Gore had relayed the information to the directors. “The conclusion I reached is that the restrictions are not applicable until the co-op submits a plan to the administrator and actually starts a use (on the 9.66 acres),” Fletcher said. Screen Before Using Luke noted that a commercial area must be enclosed with screening BEFORE the property is put to any use. He repeated his contention made at the November 21 hearing that the co-op could expand operations onto the 9.66 acre tract with its current agricultural zoning. To support his position, Luke cited the zoning ordinance’s provision for “buildings for bulk storage of forest and agricultural products and directly related equipment” in an agricultural zone with a special use permit. “I think agriculturally related equipment covers all they want to do,” he maintained. Planner Pete Estes described the farmers cooperative as an agricultural support business rather than an actual agricultural enterprise. “They’re not in the harvest business,” he said.maintaining that commercial, not agricultural, was the proper zone for the property covered in the co-op’s application. “1 call the serum they keep over there in the ice box an agriculturally related product,” countered Luke. “I call the little roter tiller thev Country Stores Offer Quality By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Rappahannock %«•%*■* Staff Writer Flint Hill and Amissville offer the Christmas shopper quality rather than quantity. Between them, the two little communities support only a handful of businesses but the Corn Crib Gallery, Rappahannock Tack Shop and Lucky D Saddlery can take care of most of the folks on a gift giving list. Mary Schumaker’s Corn Crib Gallery on the Fodderstack Road just outside of Flint Hill is a showcase for local talent. She has stunning water colors by 80-year-old Lelia Noyes Lucas of Huntly, pottery fashioned by Sperryville’s Jeanne Drevas and silk screen prints by Lois Moore of Flint Hill. The gallery also carries Moore’s Christmas cards picturing the Rappahannock County court house as well as a delightful children’s record written and recorded by Michelle Valerie whose sister Diane Bayne operates Washington’s Bethany House RetreatThe gallery specializes in photographic art, carrying the work of Tim Kilby of Sperryville, Charlie Tompkins of Washington and ■ Byron Schumaker of Flint Hill as well as other nationally known camera artists. The Corn Crib Gallery is open on Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment only at other times. On tlve last two weekends before Christmas, the Schumakers will serve hot mulled wine to busy shoppers who visit the gallery. Rappahannock Tack Shop For the shopper with horse lovers and tennis buffs on the Christmas list, Jean Lillard's Rappahannock Tack Shop is a “must” stop. She has tack, horse books, riding apparel and leather goods plus lots of little horsey items for stocking stuffers. For tenni$ nuts, the tack shop has rackets, balls, warm-up suits, shirts, suits—everything necessary for a court date. The shop is located in Jean’s house on Route 647 just outside of Flint Hill—the only house on the block with a tack shop sign in the yard. She operates the business part-time, devoting most of her hours to real estate sales. The shop will be open every Friday and Saturday through Christmas from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Shoppers who can’t make it by during the regular time need only call for an appointment. “With real estate, I can be flexible enough to accommodate my horse and tennis customers,” said Jean. Lucky D Saddlery Lucky D Saddlery and Ye Ole General Store on Route 211 west of Amissville is the equivalent of a department store for the horsey set, carrying gifts for the horse lover as well as the horse. To keep the family equine contented and warm, the store carries a complete line of health care products, blankets, saddle pads, English and western tack, lead lines, curry combs, hoof picks and the like. )Lucky D-Ye Ole General Store has a complete line of informal country attire—western shirts, denim jeans, jackets and Vests. To keep old man winter at bay, Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Continued on Page 10) t have agriculturally related equipment.” Despite his misgivings, however. Luke moved that the planners recommend in favor of the rezoning and repeated his earlier request that the co-op's board of directors re-review the option of keeping the property in an agricultural zone and operating on the additional land with ■ a special use permit. Case Not Proved “They haven’t established a need (for commercial zoning) and shown that the existing zoning is improper,” stated planner Newbill MARION EASTHAM ha Citizen at Rappahannock ( the daughter of Mr. and Amissville. DAR Go< Miller. “I would vote favorably for an acre and a half but I just can't go with 9.66...The integrity of the zoning ordinance is at stake here. It would be a mistake to rezonf the land for the coop's protection sometime in the nebulous future." Miller said. “I frankly think it’s a disservice to the farmers in the county." he continued. "We'd set a precedent for future rezoning approvals if this is favorably passed...I understand your wanting to be safe but I think your reasons (for requesting the rezoning) are invalid."

Work On Plan Continues John Capelle. executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, reported last week that Rappahannock's comprehensive plan will be 75 per cent complete by the end of December. Capelle told the county planners at their special November 28 meeting that work on background material, including the most recent chapters on community facilities and population projections, was almost finished. The first half of the chapter on community facilities is a summary of what currently exists in the county. "1 need to know what the commission wants to do to find out future demands and needs,” Capelle said. He suggested that the planners contact the different governmental bodies, including school board, library board, health department, water and sewer authority, and recreational facilities authorities, to see “what they envision as required facilities for the future... We need to have a grasp on what the demand will be and its impact on the county budget.” Capelle added that the location of any new facilities should be carefully considered since it could set a development pattern in motion. Capelle said he will bring the completed village studies on the communities of Washington, S perry ville. Flint Hill, Amissville, Woodville and Chester Gap to the December 19 meeting of the planning commission for review. At the January meeting, the planners can go over all the background material after it is assembled in a single document, he said. “Then we get into the hard stuff.” Capelle suggested that the planners schedule extra meetings in January and February to work on the comprehensive plan's goals and objectives before taking the proposals to the public at community meetings. The planners agreed tentatively to distribute copies of the comprehensive plan proposals printed as a tabloid on cheap newsprint and to make the proposed plan available for interested residents at locations throughout the county rather than mailing copies to all property owners. Capelle agreed to ask the different governmental (Continued on Page 3) V

Logan Expects GoodYear Jim Logan, varsity basketball coach for Rap- ’ pahannock County High School thinks the 1979-80 basketball season that begins this week will be a good one for the Panthers. Logan hesitated to predict the number of games he expects his boys to win but he’s confident their performance will show improvement over the two tallied in 1978-79. The Panthers will be strong this year on experience. Out of 11 players an the roster, seven are veterans of last year’s squad and six are seniors. Logan also sees the Panthers as standouts on defense, especially rebounding. Gary Leake, team leader last year in both rebounding and field goal percentage, should be even stronger this year at hitting the boards on both ends of the court, according to Logan. However, Logan hedged his bet on defense just a little by noting that the difficulty of predicting performance without a test under game conditions.

He feels his players need confidence in themselves, confidence that can be built only by winning. “We need to build a winning tradition,” he repeatedly emphasized. “That’s a real problem here.” While half the team members have varsity experience, their coach has none. Logan was formerly IV coach at RCHS. This is his first year in the varsity slot. Logan believes there’s a big difference in pressure levels between varsity and JV and is convinced his lack of experience at the higher level will definitely have an effect on the team. Logan listed the Panthers’ other areas of weakness as height and speed. He feels his squad compensates for the absence of a tall center and forwards with leaping ability and good moves on defense. He noted, however, that Rappahannock’s scoring punch would be more threatening if the team was taller. According to Logan, Rappahannock participates in Virginia’s strongest group A district. He bases his opinion on the performance of Skyline teams against opponents from other districts. Skyline cagers usually win and win big. He also noted that most of the teams in Skyline represent schools with enrollment twice that of RCHS. Rappahannock has an edge, though, in playing at home. Teams usually hold a home court advantage gained by playing on familiar ground. But Rappahannock’s advantage is a little wider because other teams aren’t used to scoring lay-ups and then running into the wall, Logan said. He addded that Rappahannock has the dubious distinction of having the smallest basketball court in the Skyline District. The Panthers opened their season on Wednesday, December 5, with a home game against Clarke County. In the line-up for the Panthers are senior guards Tony Wayland, Tony Armentrout and Larry Settle.

Bruce’s “Kate” Takes Second Jack Bruce’s hound “Kate” ran second out of 40 dogs entered in the Madison Wildlife Association’s 25th Annual Fox Drag Race held November 24 on the Blankenbaker farm. “Kate” was one of only 13 hounds that successfully trailed the scented bag to complete the course.

Jimmy Tomko is playing his first year as guard at the varsity level and coach Logan pulled Kenny Foster up from JV to play guard. Senior Billy Anderson is playing his first year of basketball, drawing praise from Logan for putting out extra effort to get a starting spot. In the Panther’s games, look for five men on the floor playing as a unit. There are no “hotdogs” on the squad, no one out glory hunting at the expense of team work. Logan’s players work well together, according to the coach. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinaon REPRESENTING RAPPAHANNOCK on the basketball court this year are (rear, left to right) varsity coach Jim Logan, Jimmy Tomko, Dean Wilson, Gary Leake, Billy Anderson, Gary Jenkins, Larry Settle and manager Harvey Gordon, \front) manager Ritchie Burke, Kenny Foster, Tony Wayland, Greg Bright, Jeff Jenkins, and Tomy Armentrout.

Plan Work Continues (Continued from Page 1) bodies to submit written reports on any future needs they anticipated for expanded facilities. In the chapter on community facilities, the comprehensive plan provides general data on educational services, libraries, recreation, protective services, medical services and public utilities. It lists the enrollment of Rappahannock County High School as 465 students housed in buildings with a capacity of 375 and the enrollment at the elementary school at 717 with a capacity of 700. “It is evident from these figures that both of the county’s public schools are over capacity,” the plan states, noting that enrollment at the elementary school has "declined sharply since 1970” with a similar trend expected at the high school “in the near fiiture.” According to the plan, “any future large increase in the county’s population, particularly in the school aged groups, will require the provision of additional classroom space.” The draft chapter on population projections, however, indicates that the county’s school age population will increase but “not at a rate to substantially impact facilities.” Using figures prepared by the Virginia Department of Planning and Budget, the number of persons age 19 and younger is expected to gradually increase between 1978 and 2000 from 1,902 to Cathy Ann's Cheese, Nuts Christmas Boxes TOMS OUTLET Lollies' Quality Clothing lido'sPAINTS & BRUSHES Do-H-Yc International Treasures Jexcelry, Crufts, Gifts.

When viewed as a percentage of the county’s total population, however, this age group is expected to decline from 32.8 per cent to 28.8 per cent over the same period. The 40 to 60 age group is projected to show the most significant change, increasing from 1,534 persons or 26.4 per cent of Rappahannock’s total population in 1978 to 2,452 persons or 34.1 per cent in the year 2000. According to the plan’s draft chapter, the 65 and older age group will show the second greatest change, increasing from 771 persons Qr 13.2 of total population in 1978 to 1,080 or 15 per cent bv 2000. The plan states that overall, age group projections indicate that the county’s population by the year 2000 will be “basically middle aged with fewer persons in the early adult range.” Using Department of Budget and Planning figures to the plan predicts a “moderate” overall growth rate of 28.5 per cent between 1976 and 2000 with the county’s population increasing to 7,200. If the county’s growth rate parallels that of immediately adjacent localities, the population here could increase to an upper limit projected to be 8,255 by the year 2000, according to the plan. Co-op (Continued from Page 1) told Gore and Gordon Thornhill, manager of the Rappahannock branch of the Culpeper Farmers Cooperative. Planner Walter Masterson noted that a request for rezoning from agriculture to commercial from Mrs. Dorothy Davis had been denied last year, primarily because the planners and supervisors felt she could carry out her business plans in an agricultural zone with a special use permit. He criticized the co-op’s relocation in the building on Route 211. “I’m concerned about the storage of chemicals around those two schools.” Masterson said, referring I- to >the Rappahannock J County Elementary and High Schools located a few hundred yards away from the new building on the opposite side of Route 211. Masterson suggested that the planners consider limiting the storage of chemicals at the co-op/ in order to lessen the danger from fire that could threaten the safety of students in the schools. In action on the motion, Luke, Dave Fannon and Estes voted to recommend approval of the rezoning. Chairman H. S. Barksdale, Miller and Masterson voted against a favorable recommendation. Alan Stokes abstained on the grounds of his membership on the co-op’s board of directors. Under a tie vote, the rezoning application will be forwarded to the supervisors for action at their December 6 public hearing with no recommendation from the planning commission. “I’d like to have the secretary prepare a statement with our reasons for opposing this,’’ said Miller, getting consent from Masterson and Barksdale. “9.66 acres is too much land," he concluded. Alcohol Is Number One Drug (Continued from Page 1) immediate memory and creates a psychological dependence, Krebser continued. The brain, testicles and ovaries absorb most of the THC, marijuana’s active ingredient, he said. Side effects found in studies conducted in France show sperm destruction and alteration, said Krebser. Besides producing an “amotivational syndrome— the ‘I don’t care attitude,’ ” marijuana affects the bronchial tubes, Krebser said. “Habitual users glmost invariably get bronchitis and who knows, in 10 or 20 years, they may get lung cancer,” he added. Psychedelics—LSD, PCP, mescaline—are also deposited in the brain tissue. Krebser warned that residue may cause re-occuring hallucinations months after the actual dose of the drug is taken. He also noted that users of psychedelics, particularly PCP (commonly .known as angel dust, killer weed or KW), may exhibit symptoms of schizophrenic behavior. Addressing the category of stimulants, Krebser said amphetamines or “speed” are often used in combination with heroin and other drugs to accentuate a “high.” “They take speed first to get hyped up and then heroin to bring them down,” he said. Opium derivatives—heroin and morphine—are usually taken intraveniously, presenting another threat added to the danger of physical addiction, Krebser said. He explained that users don’t always clean their needles, syringes and other instruments properly before injecting the drug and often introduce an infection into the blood stream. Moving back to alcohol, Krebser maintained it is one of the biggest problems in the area of drugs. Whether the user is a social drinker, problem drinker or true alcoholic with more of a psychological, genetic-related disease, "the effect is all the same,” said Krebser. Alcohol creates a psychological and physical dependence, he said, adding that drinkers build up a tolerance to the substance until their livers begin to be destroyed. Krebser told the audience that the liver can metabolize 15 to 20 cc.’s of alcohol per hour. If a drinker consumes less than that amount, he or she can usually manager to stay relatively sober. Once this limit is exceeded, for instance with more than 2.5 to three beers per hour or three glasses of wine, drunkenness occurs, Krebser said. Alcohol first loosens inhibitions, bringing feelings of warmth and euphoria, and then acts as a depressant, according to Krebser. After continued use, withdrawal symptoms may range from shaking to delerium tremors with hallucinations. Alcoholics suffer from impaired blood clotting mechanism, health problems and memory impairment, said Krebser. “It really is a tragic type disease.” In conclusion, Krebser asked the school board to also take a closer look at another drug—niocotine. “I think the school board should take action to totally prohibit smoking on school property,” he said. “It Feels Good” Kids take drugs “because it feels good...It changes the way they feel,” maintained substance abuse counselor Bob Treanor. “We’re a drug using culture,” he said, adding that Rappahannock County Garden Club Prices Same As Last Year Wreaths $7.00 Garlands $1.00 per 1ft.

Any mood altering drug is potentially addicting—either psychologically or physically, according to Treanor. In explaining the addiction process, he said that people start taking drugs or alcohol to feel good and end up taking it so they don’t feel bad. “They never get that happy feeling again” and must use drugs or alcohol to relieve their psychological pain, Treanor said. Noting the “great number of alcholics in the county,” Treanor guessed the incidence of alcoholism in Rappahannock is approximately the same as it is for the nation with one in evey eight drinkers a fullfledged alcoholic. Reviewing the steps in alcoholism, he said that individuals are very defensive about their dimking in the early stages and make attempts at control by switching brands of liquor for instance. Changes in social behavior are noticeable: “The fellow who starts making a fool of himself at parties, the kid who starts doing poorly at shcool.” Drinkers in the early stages of alcoholism show a high tolerance for alcohol. They may also begin to seek the company of other drinkers, Treanor said. Social disintegration continues into the middle stages of alcoholism. Teanor said the individual begins to lose control of the effect drinking has. Tolerance decreases. Health problems start to crop up. The individual hides the amount of alcohol he or she is drinking and begins to worry about protecting his or her supply, according to Treanor. In the late stages of full blown alcoholism, health problems increase. Treanor said the dimker begins to experience blackouts, mental losses which occur even when the alcoholic isn’t imbibing. Physical withdrawal signs —“The morning after shakes”—start to appear. The alcoholic usually has trouble with his or her job and becomes increasingly isolated, hanging around only with other heavy drinkers. Liver disintegration continues, causing a loss of tolerance to alcohol. “Two drinks and they're under the table,” Treanor said. According to Treanor, women alcoholics deteriorate faster than men and teenagers speed through the stages to total addiction fastest of all. For an adult, addition to alcohol takes 10 to 15 years to occur. “It takes an adolescent one-tenth of that time, ” said Treanor. Effects On The Family Sometimes those people living with an alcoholic—or any other drug abuser—are in worse shape than the addict, according to Treanor. Other members of the family tend to feel guilty, to rationalize and blame themselves for the addict's problems with drugs or alcohol, he said. National statistics show that nine out of every ten women who are marreid to an alcoholic and then divorced, remarry another alcoholic, Treanor reported. Children of alcoholics also follow a standard pattern: ,the oldest is usually the savior, the golden boy or girl PARK THEATRE (Last Night 7:30 "Skate Town, USA" (PG) Starts Friday Fri. & Sat. 7:05 & 9tOO Sat./Sun.

Treanor added that the “savior” is apt to marry an alcoholic when the trouble maker generally becomes an alcoholic. The third and fourth children, he said, have a 50-50 chance of also becoming alcoholics. Patricia Saltonstall described alcoholism as “a staggering medical problem” that ranks as the number three killer disease in the U. S.

HOW MANY HOUSES IN YOUR FUTURE? KEALTOt Mi Sometimes a look into the past will give you an educated guess as to your future homeowning status. So it goes with a recently completed survey of homeowners by a major Mortgage Insurance Company. If you are an average statistic! you can expect to own three or four homes in your lifetime. The survey found that 76 per cent of all newly-married couples start out by living in rental housing primarily apartments. It then progresses to the purchase of the first home with the advent of children. Sixty eight percent of couples owning their first home have at least one child. Although 31 per cent reported their home adequate, 55 per cent reported they were actively looking for a larger house. Although larger quarters was a major reason for moving, 63 per cent said a more expensive home in a better neighborhood was a better investment in light of their experiences in the first two homes.

They weren’t at the elementary school. Excluding persons with a direct connection to the schools—teachers, principals, librarians, administrators and school board members—there were onlv a handful of parents who bothered to show up and be informed. There's been no lack of publicity regarding worry over drug and alcohol use in the schools. More than adequate notice was given for Tuesday’s meeting. So where was everyone? One parent who took the time to come blamed floor attendance on the split in opinion as to whether or not a drug and alcohol problem actually exists. To set things straight, the controversy involves only the scope of drug and alcohol use. No one denies that our kids are smoking fiot and drinking beer. But are they bringing controlled substances into the schools? Are they dependant on drugs and alcohol or only experimenting? Do we have widespread use of heroin, cocaine and other hard drugs among school age youngsters in Rappahannock? Are they taking a puff off an occasional marijuana cigarette at parties or are they getting stoned daily ? The fact that there’s disagreement over the incidence of drug and alcohol use is not an acceptable alibi for missing last Tuesday’s educational program. The parents who didn’t attend lost a valuable opportunity to gain information that might have helped them open up a dialogue with their sons and daughters. If you don’t know anything about drugs and alcohol, how are you going to convince anyone that they present a danger to mental and physical health? We ho|»e that parents will demonstrate a little more interest in the future. —Rappahannock News Photo /John Toler Our Rappahannock Heritage Letter To The Editor No Respect To the editor: We, as parents, have no greater natural resource than the future of our children, since the children of today are the hope and continuance of the world. No greater injustice can be done to a human being regardless of gender or race than to deprive that human of the best education possible, and to instill in our children the importance of social and educational responsibilities. Therefore, I feel the need to respond to the Rappahannock News editorial ; regarding the questionaire distributed by the county schools, concerning the county drug problem. If any institution needs to be supported, it’s our school system, especially when so many of our children in this county are deprived of the education and social activities they so desperately deserve. I was somewhat taken aback that the Rappahannock News continually placed marijuana, beer and “booze” in the same category. There’s one big difference—marijuana is still illegal, not just to minors but to the adult. We all know that alcohol in excess is detrimental to the human anatomy. If misused by minors or abused by adults, such as being inebriated in public, then it’s the responsibility of the law enforcer to do his or her job. But let us not forget it’s still legal to adults. Somewhere along our technological way, we’ve lost respect for the law and respect for our educational facilities. We, as citizens and taxpayers, have allowed police officers to become gun-toting secretaries, and we’ve expected teachers to be mother, father, pastor, disciplinarian, and law enforcer to approximately 23 children, six hours a day, five days a week, and at the same time, try to instill the importance of learning. I should think our local police force would welcome, help from the state police. I would rather have my tax dollars pay state law officers to investigate those involved, in the growing and distributing of marijuana to minors than to have my tax dollars pay for state officers to seclude behind a hill with radar equipment and ticket someone going a few miles over the speed limit, just to fill an administrative quota. It’s the responsbility of the community as a whole, the parents, the teachers, the law enforcers, to instill in our children they can’t make changes in our society by dropping out of it with illegal drugs.

Runcy’s Owner At Country Store By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ’ Rappahannock News Stiff Writer The old saying goes that a: horse by any other color is; still a horse. But the old folks who are responsible for alii the old sayings failed to take into account Runcible Spoon. Does an equine who shouts ‘gawk,” “egad,” and “yaargh” when confronted! with hounds qualify? What about an animal that uses mud to disguise the only white socks on a hunt field [ —hers—in an attempt to1 achieve cosmetic conformity? ' The peaks and valleys of living with this half-real, half-fantastic horse, known as Runcy to her friends, are chronicled in “the Adventures of Runcible Spoon” by her owner, Carolyn Banks of Etlan. This Saturday, December 8, Banks will be at the Country Store in Washington from 1 to 4 p.m. to autograph copies of her delightful little book. As every horse owner knows, most equines are no great shakes in the brains department. But the emphasis is on “most.” There are a few exceptions and Runcible Spoon sounds like she might be one of those rare Einsteins of the horse world. The Adventures of Runcible Spoon is a collection of the best of the monthly episodes which appeared in Horse Play, a magazine formerly edited by Banks for people who show, hunt and event. Runcy is the heroine or anti-heroine in each. . She’s the horse straight out of The Three Faces of Eve with the split personality: “the sludge” that Banks rides alone each day” who manages to convince passersby that she is cruelly put upon”; with a heart rending series of creaks and groans. The same Runcible Spoon is also “the mighty hunter who comes out of the trailer before the tailgate is down, whose nostrils flare, whose flesh quivers. This Runcy is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful then a locomotive,” passing entire hunt fields in a single bound, much to the chagrin of the master. Finally, there is the well mannered Runcy, “the personality that, the, psychiatrist urged Joanne Woodward, that is Eve, to keep.” But, writes Banks, “even though a reasonable Runcy eventually emerges, the wild and wooly Runcy has spawned a nightmare which plagues me from first frost to spring planting.” Runcy is one of those animals cursed with “the fear-of-being-clipped instinct”. To protect herself from the horrors of a trim, she’s learned to recognize the sound of the lid coming off the clipper’s box at a distance of 30 yards. As a result, Runcible Spoon goes Luminiara On Sale Residents of the area are being afforded the opportunity of joining other Christians around the country to place luminaria outside their homes this Christmas season. This is an old Spanish custom for Christmas Eve when the luminaria are placed outside to make a lighted pathway for the Christ Child to enter homes. Luminaria consists of white paper bags, plumber’s candles and sand and are placed eight to ten feet apart around churches and homes. A mass lighting takes place at 6 p.m. Christmas Eve and the candles and sufficient sand, is $1.50 and are available from Lynne Baines of the Flint Hill United Methodist Church. They may be ordered by calling her in the evenings at 675-3253 and may be picked up December 15 between 10 and 12 at the church. through life with the frizzies,i not even embarrassed when the Hunt Master suggests that Banks braid her muzzle and confine her mane in a net. Banks is a nationally known essayist and journalist, whose articles Washington Post and Washington Star weekend magazines. A former instructor at Bowie State and the University of Maryland where she taught English and journalism, she recently published "Mr. Right,” a murder mystery described in a Washington Post review as “a devious and delicious first novel” written with "flash and energy...a brilliant exploration of the random element in violence.” Another novel by Banks, as part of the livestock. Banks admits she thought of doing away with the rooster until she spied him shepherding each of her three hens, one at a time under his wing, to the safety of the barn when a thunderstorm struck. "How can you get rid of an animal like that?" she asked. Banks fell in love with horses early on in her life but had little opportunity to be around them, living in the city with her parents. "I read all the books on riding. I used to sit on a chair in the living room and try to get my legs in the right position. My parents thought I was crazy. When I was 12, they finally gave up and took me to a stable for riding lessons.” based on the Bradford Bishop murder case and entitled “The Dark Room,” will be published in May, 1980, the same time that “Mr. Right” comes out in paperback. In “The Dark Room,” Banks has Bishop hiding out in Charlottesville. “I did a lot of research and then I pretended,” she admits. Currently, she’s working on a third novel, "The Country Gentlemaii,” another mystery with a central theme focused on cock fighting. f It’s a long way from the violence in her novels to humorous little sketches in Runcible Spoon. “The Adventures of Runcible Spoon is more really me,” Banks maintains. “I really like animals. I’m positively Disneylandish about them.” She shares her Etlan home with a herd. In addition to Runcy, there’s Shadowfax, her 17-year-old son Donald’s horse, two dogs and three cats. The felines are named Tarzan, Boy and the dump cat. “He got in my truck at the dump and wouldn’t get out. He’s gorgeous but he doesn’t know anything except how to bite and scratch.” Banks is also the owner of a socially maladjusted rooster inherited from a friend. “The bird thinks he’s a fighting cock,” she explained, adding that after many battles, he has finally come to accept her • 1' ’ ' —Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson AUTHOR CAROLYN BANKS (left) with Candy Coombs looks over The Adventures of Runcible Spoon, a collection of short sketches detailing the adventures of Banks’ prima dona mare. Banks will be at the Country Store in Washington on this Saturday, December 8, from 1 to 4 p.m. to autograph copies available at the little shop. For anyone who’s ever been involved with horses, Bunks’ tales of life with a large, much loved, four-legged friend hit home—straight to the heart and to the funny bone. —Rappahannock News Photo/S. Latham A RUDE AWAKENING was what the Rev. and . Mrs. J. S. Stirman got Tuesday morning when a pickup truck plowed into the side of their home in Amissville. The vehicle operated by Donald Strawser of Amissville was damaged but the home remained intact. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, Strawser apparently blacked out, ran off the road and struck the house. That was it. Banks lost her heart for good. She saved her money and bought a horse of her own, calling him “Finally” because she’d finally gotten one. Her selection seven years ago pf Runcible Spoon was ■done entirely on emotion. Banks had - been systematically checking out stables, looking for a horse and evaluating the animals carefully. Runcy followed her around while she was out inspecting and she lost her heart again, this time to one little mare rather than the whole horse kingdom. “I was going to boanf her with a man who was supposed to know everything there was to know ‘abut horses. I hadn’t even had her vetted yet. He looked in her mouth and laughed. Said she was so old that all her teeth were falling out,” Banks recalled. She chuckled. “Runcy was just a baby. She didn’t even have her teeth in yet! No one ever asked him anything again,” Banks added. While Runcible Spoon may not be responsible for all the escapades in Banks’ stories, she is a real field horse and hunts with a real hunt, Old Dominion. “On the hunt field, it seems that most of the other horses are at least a foot taller than Runcy. People behind us say she swivels her hips to get over the jumps,” Banks giggled. Runcible Spoon and Banks moved to Etlan just a couple of years ago. "I read all the Boil nuts in water for three to five minutes and let them cool before cracking in order to remove the meats whole. country papers, looking for a place out here,” Banks recalled. Kerry Smithgall found the house way out in the boondocks. “I was driving an unfamiliar car aiid I couldn’t make the windshield wipers work so I didn’t realize how far out we were. When I saw the house, I had to be forcibly restrained.” Banks said she bounced around on the front seat, squealing “Oh, I love it, I’ll take it! How much is it? It was just the right place. It was perfect. It still is,” she said, describing Smithgall as “a genious at matching people and houses.” Banks works at home, writing six hours a day. “The times change depending on the weather. I try to ride Runcible Spoon every day. In the summer months, we go out early before the heat of the day and during the winter, I break up my time with a midday ride. I guess in that sense, Runcible Spoon controls my life,” Banks concluded. Correction In an article in last week’s edition of the Rappahannock News, George Muth was incorrectly identified as the president of the Rappahannock Hunt. Muth is the past president of the hunt, serving in that capacity for 25 years. The position is currently filled by Avery Faulkner. In addition, the hounds for the Rappahannock Hunt are kenaeled at James W. Fletcher’s farm, not at Muth’s Stonehaven, as reported in the News.

6 Rappahannock News, Washington, Va. Thursday, December 6,1979 Concert Season Planned Superb, was the concensus of the directors of the Community Concert on the selection of the 1980-81 program which was chosen last week by representatives from Rappahannock, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison and Orange counties. “Something for everyone,” they hope with the selection of Naughty Marietta, a musical, the Harvey Pittel Trio, sax, cello and piano, and Keith and Rusty McNeil, instruments and folk music. Pittel is a young saxophonist who combines classical and popular music. The McNeils are former professors who entertained at college affairs and became so popular they decided to go on the concert circuit with their program of popular and folk music along with their 30 instruments. Attending the concert planning meeting from Rappahannock were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Bomberger, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Frantz, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Herndon and Mrs. George Muth.

Intelligence Committee Chairman Challenges Vint Hill Closing Plan Congressman Edward Boland of Massachusetts, chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in the US House of Representatives, has raised serious doubts about the proposed closing of the Vint Hill Farms Station military base. The Department of Defense for several years has considered closing Vint Hill which annually pumps approxomately $23 million into the economy here. But no firm plans for closing the base have been set. A spokesman for Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson (RWinchester) said last Thursday that “it would be at least 1985 before any military personnel there would be transferred as a result of closing the base, “in the event that it is closed.” Boland raised doubts about the closing proposal in a letter to Defense Secretary Harold Brown. Boland’s letter followed a negative analysis of the proposed phase-out that had been prepared by his committee’s staff. The staff investigation and Boland’s intercession had been requested by Rep. Robinson, top-ranking Republican on the Intelligence panel, who represents Rappahannock Country residents. “There have been no new developments in , the proposed closing of Vint Hill,” said Robinson’s spokesman. “We’re just trying to keep the pressure on (to prevent the phase-out).” The defense department has proposed that US Army Intelligence and Support Command (INSCOM) personnel and systems be , transferred from Vint Hill to Ft. Meade. Boland wrote Brown that he wanted to know of all Night Closing Of Park Areas Extended Shenandoah National Park i will extend the nighttime closure of the north and south sections through Jan. 5, to enable Park Rangers to concentrate hunting patrols in and along the park boundary in those counties still open for the state hunting season. The closure 'Svill run now through the end of the hunting season Jan. 5, 1980. The central section of the Park from Rt. 211 south to Rt. 33 will remain open :hroughout, weather pernitting. The two closed lections. Front Royal south* o Rt. 211 and Rt. 33 south o Waynesboro, will be closed >nly from sundown to 8 a.m. ft decisions regarding the fate of the Vint Hill intelligence operations, noting that “this Committee may choose to hold hearings on your plans. “The Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is extremely interested in ensuring that adequate facilities are made available for these important national security assets”, Boland said. “The Committee also desires that the needs, both present and future, of the National Security Agency, also located at Fort Meade, have been given sufficient consideration in the relocation proposal.” The staff analysis that had been prepared at Robinson’s request suggested that “there are major flaws in the OSD (Office of Secretary of Defence) economic analysis which led to the Ft. Meade decision. Primary among those flaws is the lack of foresight in planning which would predicate the move based upon Army needs only. “In this matter, OASD I&L (Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Installations and Logistics) is particularly at fault since that staff element has responsibility, for considering all Defense Department requirements and for recommending options which address cross-Service needs Woodville News in the most cost-effective manner. - "Also, it would appear that the Ft. Meade decision flies in the face of the informal DoD Congressional agreement which places a moratorium on new construction and additional personnel in the National Capitol Region,” The staff analysis also noted “no military construction funds associated with the INSCOM move (to include Ft. Meade, VHFS, and the Special Warfare Laboratory at Woodbridge.) have been included in the FY 1981 budget. If, however, it appears that implementation of the Ft. Meade option is in the offing, then the Committee should seriously consider exercising its privilege to hold hearings concerning the impact of the decision upon all intelligence activities involved.” The staff analysis cited testimony that Robinson had elicited from the Defense Department during April hearings on the proposed transfer. The DoD admitted, according to the staff analysis, “that only Army costs and Army needs played a part in the'decision process. National Security Agency requirements were not considered.” By JUNE CLARK Rappahannock !Ncws Correspondent Mr. and Mrs. Emory Conners joined Mr. and Mrs. Austin Brown of Deleware for lunch Sunday at the home Church Notice The United Methodist Church of Sperryville will present a pageant entitled “I Believe” on Sunday, December 16, at 7 p.m. The public is invited.

There is little difference between a generic drug and a nationally known name brand. Thus you can save money by asking your: physician to write a prescription under its generic name. The FDA requires all medicine to meet certain standards for safety, strength purity and effectiveness so the generic drug will meet the same standards and perform as well as the name brand, which costs more. Not all drugs are available genetically - to date about 60 to 70 of the 200 most frequently prescribed drugs are available generically. The doctors at Rappahannock Medical Center make an effort to prescribe generic drugs when they are available. If you are not certain if your physician does, don’t hesitate to ask. You can order a copy of “Generic Drugs: How Good Are They?” (free) from' \Consumer Information Center, Pueblo, Colo. 81009.

(703)896-7296 (Continued from Page 3) attention away from alcoholism when drugs moved out of the ghettoes into middle class homes. “Alcoholism is still first and foremost,” she said. Saltonstall noted that, according to the Rappahannock News accounts of District Court cases, charges of driving while intoxicated are often noli prosquied. “That’s society’s acceptance of alcoholism,’’ she said, adding that kids then decide it’s acceptable to drive and dirnk because they assume they can get off if they know the “right lawyers and righ right people.” As a disease that costs the nation S45 billion per year, alcoholism is a major medical problem, Saltonstall continued. “But it is a treatable disease,” she said, noting that family therapy and job programs have proved to be the best approach to treating alcoholism. Talk Only On Alcohol “This was advertised as an education program on drugs and alcohol,” stated school board member Robert Eastham after the panel members finished their Alcohol Most Abused presentations. With the exception of Dr. Krebser, Eastham noted, none of the panel had discussed anything but alcohol. “We’ve lived with alcohol all these years,’’ he said, adding that drugs were new within the last 20 years and called for new approaches in attempts by the school board to control their use. "Where are our school age children going” in regard to marijuana, cocaine, heroin, amphetamines and barbituates? asked Eastham. “Where are they now?” In explanation of the attention given to alcoholism, school board chairman Beverly Massie maintained that understanding problems or drug and alcohol abuse requires looking at the entire family, particularly the parents who serve as models for school aged children. “Kids are going to alcohol,” said Dr. Young in response to Eastham’s question. “They’re still using the drugs acquired over the last generation and they’re adding alcohol.” No Hard Drugs “Heroin? I’ve never en NANCY PROCTOR was first place winner in the Gong Show sponsored by the RCES seventh grades and presented Saturday night. She did a Charleston number accompanied at the piano in pantomime by David Beck. Chris Barnes placed second with his very good piano rendition. countered any school age child in Rappahannock using it. The same applies to Cocaine,” said Treanor. “They’re both very expensive. I’m not saying they can’t be had in Rappahannock County but they would be very difficult for any school aged child to get in any quantity.” Treanor said he suspected marijuana use is “growing slowly...I’m certainly not condining it but I don’t want to overract...I suspect a certain percentage of school age children are using it regularly but I have no idea what that percentage is.” Eastham asked why estimates on marijuana useare available for the nation as a whole but not for Rappahannock County. While some people maintain that there’s no problem with marijuana in the county, Eastham said he’d been told by a “state police officer” that 75 per cent of the county’s under 30 population ahs experimented with some drug and 50 per cent are regular users. “And he wasn’t talking about alcohol,” Eastham added. “Do you think that’s a completely misleading figure?” he asked Treanor. “Yes,” the substance abuse counselor replied. “Is ten per cent too low? Is 50 per cent too high?” asked Eastham. Krebser said he always asked young people visiting the Rappahanock clinic for treatment of cough or bronchitis if they smoked marijuana and invariably received a negative response from school aged kids. “They're pretty open with me,” he said noting that kids knew he couldn’t relay information to authorities., “There’s much more marijuana use in the age group between 20 and 30. We rarely see it in school aged children,” he said. Dr. Jerry Martin reported that he’d served six years of duty in the Culpeper hospital emergency room. “I saw no cases of marijuana overdoes, a copule that I thought might be amphetamines and hundreds of alcohol (overdoses),” he stated. He described the furor over the “drug problem” in Rappahannock schools as "a tempest in a tea pot,” adding that most of the supposed information on drug abuse was “just hearsay.” Martin specifically described Eastham’s report of the state trooper’s remarks as hearsay. “Well, he knows this county very well,” Eastham Country Stores (Continued from Page 1) Dunphy also carry the basic necessities, including long johns, thermal socks, and wood stoves.

Noting that she frequently substituted at RCHS, Mary ‘Schumaker said she’d never seen kids ’’high on booze or :grass” in the high school, and described the students there as very respectful. “I’d like to know where you get your information, Mr. lEastham. You want a drug problem, I’m convinced,” Mrs. Schumaker stated. Eastham replied that he’d be glad to meet with her or anyone else at anytime to discuss his concerns over drug use in the Rappahannock schools. 3 How To Combat Mrs. Massie asked what steps the panel members suggested for the school board to take combat drug and alcohol abuse. Youngsters become dependent upon alcohol and drugs because “they’re depressed, bored, can’t cope,” Dr. Young answered. “We have to find ways to help kids to grow up happier. and healthier.” He hesitated on giving an opinion as to when drug and alcohol education should start, noting that in many cases, grade school was too early while in other instances, high school was too late. Fighting the conditions that lead to drug and alcohol problems is very difficult, Dr. Young continued. “How do you prevent something as nebulous as being unhappy?” If youngsters DON’T develop problems with drugs and alcohol, how does anyone know what was done to prevent those problems from arising? he asked. Young suggested that the schools provide opportunities for education in values and decision making. “There’s nothing we can do to prevent children, especially adolescents, from ex- t, perimenting with everything under the sun. We should inform them as best we can what the risks are and certainly set rules; at least within the schools (regarding drug and alcohol use),” said Dr. Young. “We have to keep in mind what kind of role models we’re providing,” he maintained, adding that adults must learn to solve their own problems (with drugs and alcohol) in order to prevent problems in their children. T^eanor suggested additional workshops for teachers in recognizing drug and alcohol problems as well as the continued referral of students with suspected problems to the mental health clinic. He also proposed a values clarification class for seventh graders on decision making, drug education and dealing with peer group pressure similar to a program he organized in Culpeper schools. Mrs. Saltonstall noted that peer group programs are most effective in working with young people and suggested finding young speakers who’ve successfully overcome problems with alcohol and other drugs. “It’s much easier to hear this stuff from your own age group. It’s much more believable.” Martin supported a general education program on drugs and alcohol as well as a training program for teachers on picking out “high risk kids” before they actually get involved. He and Krebser volunteered to speak to high school students on the dangers of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. Dr. Young also volunteered the services of the mental health clinic staff in assisting with educational programs. ■Property listing Blackwater Creek meanders thru this wild, secluded 200 acres.
