Virginia Phone 675-3349 20c Nonagenarian Celebrates Birthday “I'm not sure that they Were the good old days," said nonagenarian Mrs. Bertha Corbin Cooke of Viewtown who celebrated her 94th birthday Sunday, as she reminisced this week at her home about the years gone by. Mrs. Cooke, one of a family of ten children, was born January 13, 1886 in Rappahannock near what was, at the time Olive, Virginia, just at the edge of the county towards Culpeper, l imes were hard for country folk, she said, and everyone had to pitch in, help with the w ork and make the living. As a child, Bertha was called the “little farmer” by her family because she" worked outdoors, helping with the farm chores. Many times, she continued, she had planted fields of corn, working right along behind the plow, dropping the kernels of corn in the open rows. Everything was done by hand since there was little or no machinery to use. Mrs. Cooke attended school at the Corbin School south of Amissville, now converted into a home, and to Homeland. Amissville and Forest Grove schools, all gone now. She did not estimate how far she walked to school except to say “it was a long way and I was only six." "Once 1 was bitten by a poisonous snake, but it did not make me ill. Mv mother thought probably because I w aded a stream getting back to the house, the venom was washed out. She sucked the wound -and poulticed it when 1 got home," Mrs. Cooke continued. She is the daughter of VVtNiam Burrell Corbin and Emma Nora Spillman, both Rappahannock natives. Of the ten children in the family, two othera besides Mrs. Cooke are still living, Mrs. Ethal Cooksey at Amissville and Mrs. Marshall (Sadie) Scott of Washington, D. C. At age 19, she was married to the late Clarence Clifford Cooke of Viewtown. The ceremony took place on December 18, 1905 at Forest Grove Baptist Church, and was conducted by the minister, the Rev. Stockton Cole. She had joined the church two years previously and remains a member, needless to say, the oldest. “My husband worked for as little as $125 a year and we saved money," she said. “I picked cherries and blackberries or any other fruit to put up for the winter, milked cows, slopped the hogs or did whatever needed to be done.” Clarence and Bertha had a family of seven and all except one are still living. Two sons, Clifford and Harry live with their mother and care for her. Harry does the cooking and takes care of the house while Clifford works in Barron’s store across the road. Other members of the family are Elmer, Amissville; Raymond, Castleton; Mrs. Maude Corbin, Culpeper; Mrs. Virginia Bihl. Pennsylvania. A son, Fred, is deceased. Joining the Cooke family are ten grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. On Sunday about twentyfive family members and friends dropped in to extend best wishes on her birthday, and she also received an official birthday card from Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter, of which she was very proud. She agreed that this administration hadn't done everything right, to her way of thinking. 4>ut Carter was president and it was nice to receive congratulations from him. Fight Expected On J&D Slot |{> 1.1NIM B. KINKS \run<l«-l Ni'wo|ia|Mt>>. Km'IiiiioikI Kiimiu Democratic Senator Charles L. Waddell of Loudoun will endorse Republican Kenneth Rollins, mayor of Leesburg, rather than Democrat A. Burke Hertz, an attorney from Flint Hill, for a local judgeship. New judges in the predominantly Democratic General Assembly,, in practice, are chosen by the majority party caucus iti the state senate. Earlier this month. Judge William F. Moffett Jr. announced his retirement, effective Feb. 1. from the 20th District Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court for Rappahannock. Fauquier and Loudoun counties. Judge Moffett, who has been suffering ill health, is a resident of Washington in Rappahann^Jtk County. The Rappahannock County bar association voted Great Whales At Library As part of its winter program, the Rappahannock County Library will present “Great Whales,” an hour long feature Film, on Tuesday, January 29. "Great Whales” follows cetologists as they study the life cycle, anatomy and speech patterns of whales. It shows a killer whale giving birth, humpback whales wintering among Hawaiian Islands and grey whales migrating from the Bering Sea to the lagoons of Baja California. The film also includes clips from the movie ‘‘Moby Dick," newsreels of whaling operations and footage of Greenpeace, a conservation group defending whales fleeing a whaler. The program begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free and the public is invited. unanimously to recommend Hertz. 59, earlier this month. The Loudoun and Fauquier bar associations unanimously voted to recommend Rollins, a former county court judge and current vice chairman of the State Water Control Board. "This is the first time 1 anticipate being in a real fight for appointing a judge,” said Sen. Waddell on the afternoon the 1980 General Assembly convened. Jan. 9. in Richmond. "I’m nominating Kenneth Rollins because he is qualified, and he’s from Loudoun County,” Sen. Waddell added. “1 think 70 to 80 per cent of the caseload for the 20th District Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court is in Loudoun. “I made my decision based on the facts that both the Loudoun and Fauquier County bar associations voted endorsement for Rollins unanimously,” said Sen. Waddell, “and that the population of Loudoun is twice that of Rappahannock and Fauquier counties." Both Rollins and Hertz will come to Richmond this month to be interviewed and certified as nominees in closed meetings of the Courts of Justice Committees in the General Assembly's Senate and House of Delegates. After the committee in each house conducts independent interviews, the nominees for judgeships go to the Democratic Party Caucus in the state Senate—what Sen. Waddell describes as “one of the remaining vestiges of power enjoyed by the majority party.” The endorsement of a senator from a nominee’s home district is an important one. Although the 20th District Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court includes Fauquier and Rappahannock as well as Loudoun, their state senators are Republicans. Sen. William A. (Continued on Page 6) BERTHA CORBIN COOKE Clustering1 By Commi Opposed sioners By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The planners reviewed the draft chapter on goals and objections for the county’s first comprehensive plan at a special work session held Wednesday, January 9. Major disagreement came only on whether the plan should encourage cluster development to protect farm land or continue to rely on economic controls of large lot zoning to preserve the county’s agricultural land, forests and open space. "We'd better go over each of these with a fine tooth comb," suggested Newbill Miller in reviewing the list of goals. “This is the one we can get hung on.” A major goal of the section on general development calls for significant new land use developments to be “planned Drug Dogs Sought'For Checks At RCHS By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kap|>ahann<M'k Staff U ril**r In an effort to control drug use in school, the Rappahannock school board will seek the help of canine narcotic sniffers to ferret out illegal substances at the county high school. As part of the long debated drug policy approved at last Tuesday’s meeting, the school board directed superintendent William Bloomer to contact the he^d of the U. S. Custom Servire training center in Frontj Royal and request thaf narcotic detection dogs periodically check RCHS for drugs. The motion read by Robert Eastham emphasized that no prior notice of the random inspections will be given to school board members, administrators or faculty. RCHS principal Dennis Wingfield is to warn students only that drug dogs will make inspection visits periodically throughout the term. The stated aim of the revised drug policy is to keep drugs and alcohol out of the public schools and “away from developing young people.” The policy specifically states that use or possession of alcohol on school grounds and buses or at.school-sponsored functions is to be treated in the same manner as non-alcoholic drugs. According to the new policy, students caught with drugs or alcohol or suspected of being under the influence of either are to be suspended from school pending action by the board. A subsequent "due process" hearing relating to the drug policy violation will be held in executive meeting unless the * student involved requests action in open session. At the hearing, the student will be confronted with evidence and allowed to present a defense. All drug and alcohol violations will be reported to the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department, under the new policy. In addition, state police offices in Culpeper are to be notified of cases involving possession and distribution of “controlled substances” after the school board, at a due process hearing, has determined that a drug policy violation has occurred. Records, including the name of the state policy officer contacted and the time of the eall, are to be kept by the principal. The policy also states that the superintendent and parents will be “quickly” informed of all drug and alcohol incidents. Drug searches of persons, vehicles, lockers and desks are to be conducted only in the presence of witness. Individuals who refuse to ( allow their vehicles to .'be searched will no longer ^'be allowed to park that vehHe on school property, accord; ig to the revised drug policy. Students suspected >f being under the influence of drugs or alcbhol and considered to be in need of immediate medical attention ..are to be transferred, to, a hospital With parents tifct informed, if possible. Educational Program ;> In the revised policy, the superintendent is charged with developing a comprehensive drug and alcohol education program to be implemented at all grade levels. He is to give the school bord a summary description of the program at the beginning of the school term and a report on its effectiveness at the end of the year. The superintendent and principals must al§o arrange in-service training programs for teachers, covering state and federal drug laws, effects of drugs and symptoms of drug abuse. Assistance of state and federal law enforcement officials and volunteer medical personnel is to be used as part of the inservice program. Faculty responsibilities outlined in the policy include watching for unauthorized visitors in the schools, supervising all areas of the building and learning to recognize drugs and symp toms of drug abuse. In addition, teachers must share all information on drug use, whether given by a student in confidence or not, with the principal. Eastham noted that he and fellow committee members Charles Eldred and Alan Stokes had taken into consideration comments from administration. faculty, students and parents in developing the revised policy. In addition, he reported that the policy had been reviewed and given a stamp of approval by school board attorney Phillip Stone. With no discussion, the board voted unanimously to approve both the revised drug policy and a request for periodic, unannounced inspections of the high school by narcotics dogs. Eastham. in presenting the motion calling for canine drug detectors, emphasized the action was required to ensure the school board’s new policy is executed.

Dog Warden Jack Bruce will announce the date and time of the clinic. Whortons Indicted / William Browning Whorton. age 34, atal .his wife Juanita, age 33, both^rf^ Culpeper, were indicted by the grand jury on two counts each of breaking and entering and two counts of grand larceny* Charges were returned on Monday, January 14. in connection with burglaries last June at tha residences of Norman Grwsley and Robert Craft of Castleton. Judge Rayner V. Snead appointed Washington lawyer David Konick to serve as special prosecuter in the cases. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner w as disqualified from pressing , charges on the ground of conflict of interest. Before his election in November as commonwealth’s attorney, Baumgardner represented the Whortons against charges in General District Court. At that time. District Court Judge William Carson ruled in a preliminary hearing that the evidence against the couple was insufficient and so dismissed charges of grand larceny and breaking and entering. ~ Xonick presented the same indictments to the grand jury on Monday’s opening of the circuit court term. All four charges against both defendants were returned as true bills. After appointing Konick as special prosecutor. Snead set arraignments for the Whortons for Wednesday. January 23. The grand jury also returned indictments of malicious woundings with intent to disfigure, maim, disable or kill aginst Ernest Lee Douglas and Hugh Pendleton Grigsby. Douglas. 33. of Petersburg, was charged with wounding Peter Marx of Washington in an incident that occurred near town on November 18, 1979. The defendant is being held in jail to await a hearing set for January 23 on motions for a psychiatric examination. Grigsby, a 47-year-old resident of Castleton, faces charges arising from the September 8, 1979, shooting of Orville Faulkner. Grigsby is free on bond with jury trial set for February 27. ind designed so as to reflect i cluster pattern.” John Capelle, executive iirector of the * Rapsahannock-Rapidan Planing District Comnission. the organization preparing the county's plan, naintained there's “an advantage to clustering lomes and leaving open ;pace.” He added that the planners might consider adding a cluster provision to the county's subdivision ordinance. Clustering only encourages development, countered Miller. Using cluster provisions, a developer will subdivide “the good land, the agriculturally significant land, and leave the marginal land in open space.” As an example. Miller cited Fairfax County developments that were afforded extra density in exchange for keeping a certain percentage of land in open space. The developers used flood plain property that couldn’t even be built on in the first place as the necessary open space and in return, were allowed more lots on the balance of the parcel, according to Miller. Not Enough Pressure “I don’t think the pressure to develop in Rappahannock is significant enough for us to go to a dust# concept now. It might be valuable in five years...but now. clustering would only tend to divide up the county quicker than normal," he continued. “This is one I say is going to hang us,” Miller added. Planner and supervisor chairman E. P. Luke argued that the large lot 50-acre zoning1, advocated by Miller didn't preserve agriculture. “It mrght'preserve open space but not \|afele land for agriculture." he &ajl. Trying to recanvfigures he’d seen recently. Miller replied that approximately 70 per cent of Virginia's beef cattle are now owned in herds of 25 or less, herds that can be pasture® on 50 acres. “There are a lot of 50 acre tracts now that are more productive from an agricultural stand point because they're being used more intensively...Large lot development is not ideal but I think keeping agriculturally significant land in 50 acre tracts is better tharf putting houses in a cluster on onehalf acre lots,” Miller argued that large lot zoning is still the best way to protect agriculture under Virginia’s current enabling legislation. “I think we should put a question mark on clustering,” Luke responded, indicating that the planners could devote m#re time to debating the concept at later meetings. Under goals for residential development, the planners also put a question mark next to the objective that calls for significant housing developments to be directed towards village areas by encouraging a cluster concept with provisions for open space. Public Services Possible future needs for water and sewer also sparked some debate. An objective of general development in the draft plan states that the county’s unincorporated villages should be a focal point for development am’ provide "at least a basic range of public serv ices." “What is a basic range of public services?" asket. Miller. Capelle explained that the general term referred to water supply, waste water disposal, commercial facilities, etc. "It doesn’t mean a sewer system in every town." he empahsized. Referring to the plan's population projections that predict the county will grow to 8,255 by the year 2000. Miller asked if Rappahannock could afford to provide water systems and other services with only 3.000 more individuals to absorb the cost. Luke maintained that the planners shouldn’t let failing septic systems in the town of Washington pass unnoticed. He said the plan could designate a suitable site near town for sewage disposal. “Eventually, we're going,'to run out of septic field alternatives,” Luke said. „ -'TWfhTTrftied on Page 4) Offices Closed All county and state offices will be - closed Monday, January 21, in observance oi Lee-Jackson Day.

For Elementary School New System Approved Accusing the school board of gross negligence in failing to upgrade the elementary school's fire alarm system, ftobert Eastham prodded his fellow board members at the January 8 meeting into approving installation of a new system as soon as possible. Currently, the elementary school uses the same bells to signal the start of class, lunch, school dismissal and fires. The bells can be set off only from the school office. According to superintendent William Bloomer, this arrangement is not considered “totally adequate” by either the company providing fire insurance on the building or the state fire marshal. Bloomer noted, however, that the 1979-80 budget lacks funds for installation of a new alarm astern. Instead of seeking an additional appropriation this year, money will be included in the 198081 budget for equipment and installation, with work scheduled to be completed during summer vacation, he said. To meet insurance company and fire marshal recommendations, the school should have a buzzer system with pull boxes for setting off the alarm located at various points throughout the school, including the fumac$ room. In his 1979-80 budget request made last spring, elementary principal Graham Spencer asked for approximately $1,400 to purchase buzzer fire alarm equipment. The amount didn't include funds for installation. The board cut Spencer's request before forwarding the budget to the su(Jervisors for approval. The need for a new alarm system also came up during considerations of maintenance projects last fall. At that time, the school board deferred action until the next budget year. Not a single member of either the school board or the board of supervisors would turn down a request for an additional appropriation for installation of a fire alarm system. Eastham maintained last week. "We need an adequate fire alarm to provide protection for these children." he argued. "I don't think die children are in an unsafe building or that they wouldn't be adquately warned (in case of fire).” countered board chairman Beverly Massie. She pointed out that both schools had been evacuated with no problems or delays during bomb scares last year. "The standards are set by someone who knows a lot more than anyone on this board,” Eastham said. "We've had two reports that have told us we re not giving proper protection.” Providing a fire alarm system that meets state standards should be a "priority subject" for the school board, he argued. “It is a priority subject and it is scheduled to be put in the upcoming budget.” Mrs. Massie said, requesting comments from the other board members. ”1 concur with Mr. Eastham in his anxiety on getting this installed pronto." ■ , said Alan Stokes. His motion to authorize the superin-, , tendjjjn to take immediate ' steps to have the work done and to asik the supervisors for additional funds for the project passed unanimously. Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel reported or. Tuesday that a representative from a fit* alarm company was inspecting both schools and would have estimates by .Friday. In addition to determining the cost of a new system for the elementary school, the representative will give quotes on both repair and replacement for the system at the high school. The existing alarm system at RCHS is not in working order due to a pull station that has been vandalized and is apparently shorting out the rest of the buzzer alarm circuits. According to the Virginia’s uniform statewide building code. public educational facilities must have operating manuel alarm systems. McDaniel noted that the work will have to be advertised for competitive bids if the estimates run over $1,500. as expected. Resurfacing Bids Open Contractors have been asked by the State Depart ment of Highways and Transportation to offer bids on February 5 for resurfacing of secondary roads, light-djuty primary highways, and shoulders of some interstate highways. About 17.5 million gallons of bituminous material and 612.000 tons of cover stone will be required. The work, tb be done this spring and summer, includes resurfacing more than 5,100 miles of roads. Mileage totals by district include: Bristol. 597; Salem, 654; Lynchburg. 815; Richmond, 789; Suffolk, 635; Fredericksburg, 565; r Culpeper. 573, and Staunton, 507. Additional bids for resurfacing other highways will be received in March. Games Reset The varsity and junior varsity games between Rappahannock and Stonewall Jackson originally scheduled for January 4 and cancelled because of snow will be played Monday, January 21, at home. The contest with Luray set for Tuesday, January 22, will be held on Wednesday, January 23, due to a conflict with Luray’s exam schedule. *

Richmond Bureau Rappahannock's Republican senator and delegate in the 1980 General Assembly are "generally pleased" with Republican Gov. John N. Dalton's proposed $11.5 billion state budget for 1980-82. However. Sen. Nathan H. Miller (R-Harrisonburg) and Delegate George P. Beard Jr. (R-Culpeper) wonder about a few spots of local color in the financial picture painted by the governor for the predominantly Democratic assembly. After Gov. Dalton's “State of the Commonwealth” address on opening day Jan. 9. followed by a detailed budget proposal with a four per cent sales tax on the wholesale price of gasoline in Virginia, the 140 legislators had 59 days left for daily debate. "The proposed sales tax places a heavy burden on the commuter who depends on gasoline to get to and from work, especially in rural Viewtown Pvt.

IN A AC P Meeting The Rappahannock County NAACP Branch will hold its regular meeting Friday evening, January 25, at 7:45 p.m. at the First Baptist Church, Washington. All members and friends are askeaho be present. areas such as mine,” said Senator Miller. who represents Harrisonburg and Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Page and Rockingham counties in Senate District 2b. "I wifi encourage the use of alternative sources of revenue in an effort to avoid this tax," added Sen. Miller. "In particular I hope that this lost revenue may be replaced with money from the general fund.” Virginia's highway maintenance and construction funding is linked to gaoline taxes, currently nine cents at the pump. Highway funds are decreasing because of motorists' driving less to conserve fuel. The governor’s officials estimate that a four percent wholesale tax on gasoline would yield $127 million a year and would increase the price at the pump by four to five cents a gallon. "The governor’s biennial ■vudget sounds all right. I fguess," said Delegate Beard, r'but I'm dubious about the gasoline tax, and I’m going to find out what it is going to do in my district." Del. Beard represents Rappahannock. Culpeper, Madison and Orange counties in House District 26. “In 1973-74, Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr. declared a moratorium on new road construction." added Del. Beard, “and maybe we ought to think about that again." A $9.1 billion budget proposed by former Gov. Godwin two years ago actually climbed to approximately $10 billion because of unreported income from federal sources. Del. Beard frowns when he mentions the governor's proposed $140 million in aid—called the largest single program ever recommended in Virginia—to some urban localities as part of an annexation immunity package the General Assembly passed but did not fund last year. An amendment to that bill stipulates that money will be given the localities “if funds Parenting Workshop Faced with many questions about how best to raise children, parents can chopse ways of enhancing a chilo’s sense of self-worth.

In fact we may be trying so hard to be “ideal” parents that we forget to enjoy the process of childrearing.

Beard, “and I’m not sure we're going to fund that thing if our current needs are not met.” Del. Beard thinks the governor did not go "far enough” with recommending the addition of 96 state troopers and investigators, with 28 troopers required for patrols on new segments of Interstate 66. Del. Beard thinks the existing state plice also need salary increases. “The governor recommended increasing the number of state troopers and establishing a new Northern Virginia division,” said Del. Beard, “but this doesn’t do one thing for the compensation of state troopers we already have. “We cannot continue to have this quality of state police, if we don't pay for the individual’s competence and education,” said Del. Beard. On the other hand. Sen. Miller said he is “pleased” with the governor’s proposal of salary increases for deputy sheriffs and “encouraged” by the governor’s construction proposal to expand the state prison system. "Without adequate prison „ facilities, the effectiveness of criminal punishment is critically diminished,” said Sen. Miller. Sen. Miller also supports "adequate funding” for the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System (VSRS). He also endorses a state energy plan, which includes conservation in state buildings, design of new buildings to rely on fuels other than oil, and possible construction of a coal gasification or liquefaction plant in Virginia. Upwardsjof 2,000 bills and resolutions are expected to be introduced before the General Assembly passes a . jtate budget for the next two ,years and adjourns in March.

With a rough surface, stains penetrate better than paint and so exert a longer preservative effect. Stains also do not peel, crack or blister and a new coat can be applied without prior scraping or sanding which would be a very rough job. Stains also allow the natural grain of the wood to show through. Paint, on the other hand, is more suitable for a smooth-sanded surface which allow s for close adherence and an easier repainting job.

I want it. But I will not have the money for a couple of months. Can I move in until we finalize the sale?” One of the best ways to kill a sale is to allow a prospective buyer to move in a considerable time before settlement. Often when this occurs, it is difficult to get him to go to settlement. He may keep finding things wrong with the house, keep insisting they be fixed, or even worse demand that an adjustment be made in price. Sometimes the fesult is even more disastrous. The seller becomes disgusted with all the alleged complaints and calls the whole sale off. He must then start all over again. In my opinion, it is better to let a house sit empty than to let a prospective buyer move in before closing the sale. Although it is not good for house to be empty, it's still a faster and surer way of selling it with the least trouble.

Arundel Publisher Still making a strong showing in the polls. Senator Edward M. Kennedy may appear destined to be elected 40th President of this country a year from now. A great deal will, of course, impact on political events between now and then. But with some of the best political operatives in the business gearing up to orchestrate the Kennedy charisma the odds appear at least realistic, unhappy as some will be about it, that this third Kennedy could be literally swept into office. Many of Ted Kennedy’s friends say he would lead this country more boldly, more bravely, more humanely, and with more inspiration and skill, than Jimmy Carter or anyone else in the field. But there will be something more to this election than the nostalgia of Camelot for this hard stretched nation in the different time of the 1980’s. OPINION The writer. Arthur W. Arundel, served in the campaign of President John F. Kennedy, was Virginia Campaign Manager for the star-crossed Presidential bid of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and is a long time Kennedy family friend. It presents a puzzling dilemma for some Kennedy friends and supporters, both on grounds of issues and this Kennedy’s character qualification for the office. On defense policy, Kennedy declares that the nation’s future depends on “maintaining our military strength.” Still he is troubled with and has opposed the expenditures needed to match Russia's rise in power. Ted Kennedy sees inflation as the “central test” of our times. Yet he offers no alternative to President Carter’s Wage and Price Guidelines, and possesses a consistent record of supporting programs beyond anything close to a balanced budget by which inflation could be reversed in this country. As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he has staked himself for many years on approval of a national health insurance program, and yet he has made no progress during eight years of trying to clear this or in fact any other significant legislative action through Congress. Old Liberalism There is a great deal in Ted Kennedy’s political record and positions to agree with, but there is also more with which to disagree. And I suspect that the testing ground of the campaign ahead will erode his support as people become more aware of his bygope liberal positions. He has, at least until announcing for President, supported a liberal dogma tried, tested and proven unable to solve contemporary economic and social problems essentially by throwing money at them. But more important, why is this third Kennedy running at all? Here is a man who gets up and puts his pants on every morning and has home and family responsibilities the same as all the rest of us—different only in being rich enough to afford life’s conveniences without that effort. Family Responsibility But more than any of the rest of us, Ted Kennedy has a first responsibility for 16 youngsters of his own and his two slain brothers to look after. They are in the midstream of youth, all highly charged Kennedys who have become all but impossible for their mothers to handle. When one of these 16 unguided Kennedy rockets gets into a scrape with a school headmaster, or the New York police, or on a mountain in Kenya, things in fact happening with regularity, the authority in charge does not want to talk to a maid or a secretary or even the mother. Women’s liberation or not, he wants to talk to the man in charge of that child—the father figure. Senator Kennedy. Then there are parents meetings at these children’s far flung schools. There is no dodging this sort of family responsibility for any of us, if one’s values are in order. Those who are truly successful in life and who have the largest demands on their time, put everything they do up to a very simple yardstick—First, is it right for my family? Second, is it right by my friends? Third, it is right by my country and religion? And fourth, and do I have enough money to pay the bills for the above. A Matter of Timing? Why then at this time in the lives of his j^imily would Ted Kennedy decide to run for President. The response' must be, as Kennedy has said of the former Shah of Iran, for his own personal best interest. There is nothing beyond a political dance step in the approval of Ted Kennedy’s aged mother and troubled, estranged wife, of his becoming a Presidential candidate. If in his own thoughts Ted Kennedy believes that by becoming President he can more quickly wipe away such words as Chappaquiddick from his name in history, it is the wrong time at least to do it. It is truly sad to hear this burdened man say now. “The fun of campaigning went by with my two brothers. There is no joy in it for me.” The bottom line very plainly is that if Ted Kennedy is not man enough to know that his first responsibility in these years is to his family and those 16 youngsters, then he is not man enough to become our next President. He has for them, as well as for his own reputation in history, made a grave mistake by entering this presidential campaign. Persistent In Royalty x In the attachment to the Kennedy family bloodlines and its charisma, there is still late in the 20th century a trace of American roots in monarchy. It’s ironic that a nation of 230 million people today is not producing more new hames and faces for the Presidency. Yet that is the way it is. We do not all have to accept it. Whatever else may be said about Jimmy Carter among the Democrats, he is a large enough man to keep his values in order and, I think if only for this reason among others, will and should at the end be the Democratic nominee. V, —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutch hi son RAR RAH TEACHERS! Elementary school faculty celebrated with wild abandon Saturday night after soundly defeating the seventh grade team in a fund raising volleyball game to benefit the annual Williamsburg trip. The teachers came decked out and ready to spike in all the colors of the rainbow—red tights, blue tights, lime green shorts, yellow t-shirts, and red, white and blue sweat suits. The seventh graders never had a chance against the likes of Lyn The Lip Baines, Susan “Dead-Eye” Henry, Becky “The Hawk” Hawkins, “Monster Mike Connefee, Janet “Red Legs” DeRoo and “Terrible Twins” Cathy and Donna Lowe, just to name a few of the teacher all-stars. Delegate’s Report By GEORGE BEARD Quoting an old cowboy song “we are back in the saddle again" and the way things are starting out, it may be a rough ride. A "bucking bronc” which we will call "Partisan Politic” came roaring out of the Senate chute and promptly threw the minority rider flat on his can. It seems the majority party in the Senate wants to slap the Governor on the wrist for campaigning during the last election. I was born and raised in this State and 1 can never remember a time when the Governor in power didn't do the same thing. So w hat’s the big deal? Thank goodness the House remained about as bipartisan as it could. Our new speaker. Mr. Philpott, made a valiant effort to keep things equitable. He even removed some of the majority delegates to make sure none of the old-timers had more than four committees. (Some used to have five.) Some did not like it and some were relieved. Mr. Speaker admitted he might have made a few mistakes but in my opinion he did the best he knew how. After all, he is a freshman Speaker and I have a good memory of my freshman years. 1 feel honored and fortunate to have kept my same Committees, Finance and Agriculture. On the first day of the Session after the regular formalities were concluded, a joint session of the House and Senate was called to hear the Governor’s address. It must have been the largest crowd ever assembled. In addition to all the Senators, Delegates and Cabinet members, a bus load of Philpotts were present. It must have been a very prolific family. They were all asked to stand and there were more than 1 could count in the time allowed. The Governor appeared at 1:30 and spoke for about 45 minutes on various programs and recommendations for the Assembly to consider. He mentioned the fact that he has kept the growth in State Government to a 2.4 per cent level, w hich is half the annual increase in the past 15 years. Our own local governments * have increased 5.3 percent uurmg me perioa. The Government recommended that the legislature consider passing a law requiring a two-thirds vote on taxing measures instead of passing a tax limitation bill. I am committed to the tax limitation aspect to insure a low growth in state government. What with automation and computers all over Richmond I can understand why the present growth has not been as great but I believe we can do more. Mr. Dalton is proposing a SI 1.5 billion dollar budget and we all have been given a copy. I am happy to report that Germanna Community College got its increase based on the increased enrollment. I hope next week to see about restoring the positions they are trying to cut out. The Governor is still optimistic on thejunding of House Bill 599, the Annexation Bill, which is supposed to return funds to our towns and counties. He is proposing an increase in the pay of the deputy sheriffs, money for urban parks. 7 per cent raise for classified employees in the first year and 4.5 per cent in the second year. He is recommending a S256.8 million shot in the arm for the retirement plan which is $59.5 million increase over the last contribution. He mentioned an appropriation of $1.8 million for the Fund for Excellence program which is supposed to increase the quality of our business programs in the universities and the nursing programs in our community colleges. ) I could go on /about his talk but 1 am suie most of you have read or hetud about * it by now from the media. Besides. I am reluctant to take too much of this fine newspaper’s space. When I came to Richmond they issued me parking sticker No. “13" which 1 aim to change next week. Some things have occurred this week which leave me to believe a change should be made. One came during a phone call on a bill on the Bank Stock Tax. - While 1 was talking, a fire alarm sounded on the 7th Floor ordering all to evacuate the building. It was a conference call and I just couldn't hang up. so I kept on talking. A little later, the all clear was sounded. The phone call was over so I tried to find out what the fire was. Everyone was gone and my office was still as cold as it a as last year, so it must not have been much of a fire. That’s all for now. Next week I will be back trying to ride the bucking bronc and keep all you good folks informed. My phone number is 804-786-7102 and the mailing address is. Room 716, General Assembly Building, State Capitol, Richmond, Virginia 23203. Wilderness Meeting Set The Northern Shenandoah Valley Audubon Society will sponsor a workshop on wilderness areas on Saturday, January 26, at the Shenvalee Motel in New Market. The movement towards designating large tracts of public land as wilderness areas has been sparked by environmentalists concerned with preserving a portion of national parks and forests in their natural state. Once an area is designated as wilderness, certain restrictions apply, including prohibition of timbering and mining, a ban on access by motorized vehicles and some limitations on fire fighting and other general use by the public. The Audubon Society’s wilderness workshop will begin at 9:30 a.m. and continue to approximately 4 p.m. Following opening statements on the backgrotind of America's wilderness heritage, a slide show on Virginia's 14 wilderness proposals will be presented. The agenda will also cover' provisions of the Wilderness Preservation Act and an analysis of misunderstandings about and opposition to wilderness designations. Question Mark By Clustering (Continued from Page 1) Planner Alan Stokes warned against advocating growth in the unincorporated villages. Using Sperryville as an example, he said that excessive growth there could overburden the new sewer system, now being built as a “no-growth” system to meet waste water disposal needs of current residents while cleaning up an existing health problem caused by pollution of the Thornton River. Luke countered that the plan's objectivies didn’t advocate growth in the towns—which have no formal boundaries—but rather within two or three miles of the unincorporated communities on lots large enough for a septic field and replacement. A question mark was put beside the goal designating villages as a focal point for development. No Washington Sewer In reviewing the draft section that relates specifically to the town of Washington, Miller proposed eliminating the public facilities objective that states the town will attempt to “maintain a safe and adequate method of wastewater disposal for residents.” Miller also opposed provisions for waste water disposal included in the list of long-range public facility needs cited by the Water and Sewer Authority. “You can delete the sewer system for Washington as far as I’m concerned,” the planner and town mayor stated. 1 “The problems (with waste water disposal) that the town has are not from new installations. They’re from old installations,” Miller maintained, noting that Washington had four or five buildings without enough lot to put in a sewer system. “When you've got stuff bubbling up on the top of the ground, it gets to be a town problem,” countered Luke. He noted that inadequate septic drainfields affect more in the lot where the malfunctioning field is located. “We don’t think we have much of a problem just everybody else does," Miller replied. “As long as the health department sees it that way," concluded Luke. Five Year CIP The planners also failed to reach agreement of the draft plan’s goal for development of a five-year capital improvements program. The draft listed facility needs of schools, library, water and sewer, health. Fire and rescue, general government, solid waste and other essential public services for inclusion in the program. Miller proposed striking the library and fire and rescue from considerations of capital improvement needs. "1 don’t think we should put the innuendo in the comprehensive plan that the county will do a capital improvements program for all these organizations," he maintained. When Luke and Capelle suggested that both the library and fire and rescue be kept in, with a provision in the capital improvements program that no building needs are foreseen for either. Miller proposed another question mark next to that goal. the planners generally agreed on other major goals and objectives included in the draft plan: —protection of the rural, low density settlement patterns which characterize Rappahannock. —maintenance of an agricultural employment base, —encouragement of small, non-polluting light industries and limited commercial activity clustered near village settlements, —preservation of prime and important agricultural lands from development into major subdivisions. —renewal of apple and peach orchards whenever possible, —protection of farming operations from speculative development. —protection of natural resources and prevention of soil erosion. —encouragement of a w ide range of housing types reflecting the varied needs of county residents while discouraging residential strip development along highways. — preservation of historically and architecturally significant buildings and sites, ^-maintainence at a high level of the most economical service in the provision of public facilities, —location of public facilities in the vicinity of the county's villages. —coordination of policies, programs and facilities between county, state and federal governments, —reduction of need for private streets in proposed subdivisions. The planners will discuss the draft chapter on goals and objectives further at their monthly meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 17, at 7:30 in the court house. Letters To The Editor Complaint Answered To the editor: I was surprised to read Supervisor Chairman Luke’s complaint that the Izaak Walton League has done nothing to improve the dumpster site at Huntly. After all, dumpster sites are the County’s responsibility. True, the local League Chapter did decide last year to screen and otherwise spruce up the Huntly dumpster site, and then others as finances permitted. We found, however—and I thought Col. Luke was aware of this at the time, but perhaps he has since forgotten—that the Huntly dumpster site belongs to a private landowner who wants the dumpsters removed from his property. Our plan simply could not be carried out—not until a permanent site is acquired. The League is increasingly concerned about the County’s trash problems. Those problems can only get worse as population growth is encouraged, unless taxes are raised high enough to finance an adequate waste management effort. Since every existing-*** dumpster site seems to be the focus of some sort of controversy, The Rappahannock County Izaak Walton League has decided to turn its interest to see the overall trash management program and budget. We would like to see improvement at specific dumpster sites, but any work in that area is obviously premature until the whole program is on sound footing. ROBERT T. DENNIS , President Rappahannock Co. IWLA iNews Thanked To the editor: Please accept my belated but sincere thanks fdr your editorial calling attention to the financial situation of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and urging the community’s support. In these inflationary times, when our costs, like everyone else's. are rising and it is all we can do to meet our bills, it is good to know that we have the support of the Rappahannock News. I am sure that' the editorial played a part in the success of our recent funds drive, which has so far raised nearly $2000. We are also grateful for the cooperation and help you have given us in publicizing fund raising events and reporting news of the WVFD to the community.

Hutchinson Rams Cage Panthers, 68-48 By joe McCullough Rappahannock Ncw» Sport* Writer The Rappahannock varsity Panthers were outclassed by the Strasburg Rams last Friday. 68-48. To make a bad night even worse, the county cagers lost the services of two starters, forcing coach Jim Logan to move talented freshman Mike Leake up from the junior varsity. Mike is expected to join his brother Gary on the starting five this Friday.

TJie Rams came back and within two minutes led 6-2. Strasburg never stopped and at the end of the quarter, the Panthers trailed 18-9. Dragons Whip Panthers On Tuesday January 8 the Rappahannock Varsity Panthers lost a tough one to William Monroe's Dragons. The Panthers got off to a slow start, failing to get the ball through the hoop until late in the first quarter. The period ended 2-14 in favor of William Monroe. Rappahannock players weren't having an off night shooting but rather were shut out by the Dragon's tough defense. The Panthers moved closer in the second quarter but couldn’t cut deeply into William Monroe's safe lead. The Dragons went into the half ahead 23-15. Rappahannock came out \ blazing for the final 16 minutes of play and outscored the Dragon’s 17-12. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t beat the clock nor the Dragons defense. William Monroe ended the third quarter with a slight advantage 35-32. The Panthers began to slip in the 4th quarter. William Monroe poured it on. win-. ning by nine. 48-57.

Rappahannock scored first in the second quarter but only after two cold minutes had elapsed. For half the period, the Panthers put up a strong defense and pulled to within three, 17-20. But with a little over four minutes left, Strasburg came alive and moved in front by 32-24 at half time. The Rams poured it on all through the third quarter and led 40-29 at the end of the period. Rappahannock scored first in the fourth quarter when Dean Wilson drew the Panthers to within nine. Then the Rams got really serious and scored every time down the court for almost two minutes. Strasburg forced the Panthers to turn the ball over four times in a row and scored every time, putting ten points on the scoreboard before Rappahannock knew what happened. Coach Logan was called for a technical foul, giving the Rams the chance for another point. Logan earned another “T” before the night was over. Rappahannock got a little lucky, though, when the Rams connected on only one out of three possible charity technicals. The Panther nightmare wasn’t over even with the Rams ahead by 20. With 14 seconds on the clock, Tony Wayland and Gary Jenkins both went for a loose ball. In the resuft&ug collision, Jenkins was knocked out for two minutes and busted his lip. With Jenkins unconscious and possibly hurt seriously, 14 seconds left on the clock and Rappahannock trailing by 20 points, Logan agreed to call it quits. The final 14 seconds were never played and the Panthers forfeited the game. • Jenkins was taken to the emergency room, checked over and released. He is expected to miss three weeks of play. Then, in a final blow, offensive standout Greg Bright discovered over the weekend that his wrist hurt because it was broken. Bright will also be out for two weeks. Coach Logan pulled forward Mike Leake up from JV to fill in ^or Bright and he may start in the Panther’s home game on Friday. The dynamic duo of Bright and Gary Leake again shared scoring and rebounding honors with 16 points and five rebounds apiece.

Nathan H. Miller (R-Harrisonburg) for Rappahannock is cochairman for the joint Republican caucus. Nominee Rollins is a former member of Virignia's House of Delegates. A Democrat-turned-Independent-turned-Repub- pendent-turned-Republican, Rollins unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Democrats for a seat in the House last November. A parallel nominating procedure takes place in the Senate and House of Delegates. Theoretically, Sen. Waddell said that Republican Rollins could be the Senate nominee and Democrat Hertz the Delegates’ choice. The delegate with the most to say about the judgeship in the House is Democrat Earl E. Bell (D-Hamilton) of Loudoun. Delegate Bell was one of the Democrats who ousted Rollins from a 20th District House seat in 1975 and who beat Rollins' challenge last November. If the Senate and House are deadlocked, theorized Sen. Waddell, “my understanding is that the senior judge in the 20th Judicial Circuit, who is Circuit Judge Carleton Penn of Leesburg in Loudoun, would make the choice."
