Piedmont Opens Door For Student’s Careers By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock >♦»*» Staff VI ritcr Piedmont Technical Education Center is a goldmine of job opportunities. It offers students from Rappahannock Coutyty a magic key to open the doors to the world of work. “Everything here is geared to getting a job,’* explained principal John Bodine during a tour of the complex on Monday arranged as part of Vocational Education Week. The school has hit high gear in its goal of preparing students for jobs. According to Bodine, placement of young men and women who graduate from Piedmont’s two-year training programs runs from 70 to 100 per cent, depending on the course. Classes are designed primarily for juniors and seniors although Bodine noted that a high percentage of sophomores from Rappahannock, Madison, Orange and Culpeper are now enrolled. Courses cover four areas: business, health, home economics and trade and industrial. Comparing the vocational education offerings at RCHS with the offerings at Piedmont is like trying to compare Podunk High with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology—there is no comparison. The entire vocational department at Rappahannock County High School can fit easily into the regional school's automotive shop with half the space left over. Each Piedmont class has a practical, “hands-on” training lab as well as an area—usually an entirely separate room—with the traditional blackboard and rows of desks. Maximum class size ranges from 15 to 20, set by state regulations. Piedmont serves approximately 600 pupils from the four participating counties, divided into threehour morning and afternoon shifts. Youngsters from RCHS total 61, the lowest number from any of the participating school districts. Home Ec And Health The home economics department is the smallest of the four areas of instruction, consisting of one two-year class in occupation cooking. Supervisors Look Into Liability Insurance The Rappahannock supervisors at last Thursday’s board meeting authorized Carr and Hyde agent Dick Bowan to conduct a liability insurance study for the county. Carr and Hyde currently carries the fire insurance policies on county buildings, due to expire at the end of March. “I understand you don’t have liability insurance,” Bowan told the board members. He explained that liability insurance would cover the county against suit in the event that a person was injured in a county building as well as protecting the supervisors against possible suit as individuals or an entire board arising from their actions as board members. Bowan noted that three members of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors are currently being sued by a developer for failure to approve subdivision plans. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke asked if elected officials in Virginia held immunity from suit arising from official action. "That immunity has Bargain Leads To F urther Charges Juanita Whorton of Culpeper pled guilty to an amended charge of petit larceny in circuit court on Monday, February 14. The charge stemmed from a break-in at the residence of Robert Craft of Castleton on June 26, 1979. After a review of the evidence with Sheriff W. A. Buntin, charges of statutory burglary and grand larceny in connection with a second break-in were dropped in exchange for the guilty plea to the lesser charge Mrs. Whorton also agreed to cooperate with the Commonwealth in further investigation and prosecution of other individuals. In a related case. William Browning Whorton, Mrs. Whorton’s husband, agreed to plead guilty to charges of statutory burglary at both the Craft residence and the home of Norman Grimsley, also of Castleton. Whorton also agreed to cooperate with the Commonwealth in further prosecution resulting from information which was disclosed in an interview with Sheriff Buntin, Commonwealth's Attorney Douglas Baumgardner and special prosecutor David Konick on February 4. As a result of the interview, charges of grand larceny and statutory burglary have been lodged against Walter T. Elam of Remington. The Whorton case has been continued until March 10, opening date of the next circuit court term. Elam’s preliminary hearing is set for March 4. eroded over the years,” Bowan replied. He added that costs Of defense ‘‘can be considerable” even if the supervisors won such a suit. “I worry about us regarding fire insurance,” Luke continued. “We don’t have a fire escape on the second floor of this building." (In November, 1977, the State Fire Marshall cited the court house for Fire code violations resulting from the lack of a second floor fire escape. After no action was taken, the State Fire Marshall wrote the Rappahannock supervisors in October, 1978, requesting that a plan for correcting the violations be submitted within 60 days. During subsequent discussions, the board members agreed to (Continued on Page 4) Here, student's learn the basics of purchasing, preparing and serving food in bulk. They practice in the school kitchen, fixing lunch for the faculty and for, students enrolled in all-day special education classes. (Continued on Page 3) Road Hunting Controls Considered Again At last Thursday’s monthly board meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors agreed to hold a rare night hearing on ordinances aimed at controlling illegal road hunting in the county. If adopted, the regulations will make it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle on a public right-of-way and to walk carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun on a public right-ofway without written permission to hunt from landownei^ on both sides of the road. Lee Bird, Washington landowner who made the request for the public hearing, noted that similar ordinances are in effect in * Culpeper, Fauquier, Loudoun and their neighboring counties. Under state law, said Bird, it is already illegal to hunt within 100 yards of a public road but unless the violator is caught in the act of shooting, game wardens have difficulty apprehending or limiting road hunters. With the enactment of ordinances that ban loaded rifles and shotguns from motor vehicles ^ surrounding counties, "Rappahannock is becoming an island of opportunity, especially for the hunters west of the Blue Ridge.” Bird continued. “Unless we give our game warden some basis for controls, we’re going to continued suffer degradation.” He noted that both the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the National Shooting and Sports Foundation support ordinances like those proposed for Rappahannock. Both organizations, said Bird, believe that a motor vehicle is no place for a loaded firearm. Bird reported that preliminary indications from Fauquier, Loudoun and Culpeper are that similar ordinances there have been effective in combating illegal road hunting. He added that the regulations must be enacted by the supervisors in time to notify the Virginia Game Commission by May 1 in order for the ordinances to take effect during the 1980 hunting season. Probable Cause? “We’ve been through this exercise before,” countered supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, referring to rejection of similar ordinances last year in a 3-2 vote by the supervisors. He asked how the proposed regulations could be reconciled with the Supreme Court’s ruling against search and seizure without probably cause. “That's the reason I voted against this in the first place... What happens if they stop and check your rifle and it's not loaded? It’s just Supervisors Consider County Code, Cars The Rappahannock Sheriffs department may soon be writing traffic violations under county rather than state ordinances with the fines reverting to local coffers. And. if the supervisors approve the department’s 1980-81 budget requests, the deputies will be writing the tickets in countyowned police cruisers. At Thursday’s board meeting. Sheriff W. A. Buntin asked the supervisors to authorize Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner “to draw up county ordinances for traffic violations and other criminal charges we encounter regularly. " According to Buntin. district court clerk Ruth Blackwell estimated that revenue derived from this source will total approximately $7,000 a year. “I’ve also been approached by several persons regarding the enactment of an antiloitering ordinance,” Baumgardner said. He expfained that state enabling legislation allowed the county to establish anti-loitering laws that can include curfews for minors. The supervisors authorized Baumgardner to begin both projects. Rappahannock is the last county in the state to rely solely on privately-owned cars for its sheriffs department. On Thursday, Buntin jumped the gun on formal budget presentations and made an early request for county cars to be approved this year. Currently, the sheriff and his deputies drive their private vehicles in all police work and are reimbursed at the rate of 17 cents per mile. In addition, the sheriffs Pickups Taken Two pickup trucks owned by the same person have disappeared or been stolen in the past month. The first was reported several weeks ago and the second theft occurred late Sunday night or early Monday morning from a parking place in the town of Washington on Main Street. The 1979 Ford Ranger, red and white, was parked near the apartment building next to the post office. Anyone who saw anything or has any information concerning this mystery are asked to contact Rappahannock Sheriffs office or a State Trooper. County Finally To Have Building Inspector By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nr*»» Staff Writer In response to threats of legal action made six months ago by the state Department of Housing and Community Development, the Rappahannock supervisors finally took steps at last Thursday’s board meeting to provide a building inspector as required by state law. The board will advertise for public hearing at its March meeting an ordinance establishing a county department of building inspection. According to a memorandum from county engineer Fanning Baumgardner, the county does not prepare or adopt the building code, only enforces it. "Any public hearing should not waste effort discussing the merits of the code. The code is existing law,” he emphasized in the memorandum. Baumgardner noted that the county’s options lie only in procedures for establishing the department, fee schedule and enforcement. In guidelines developed jointly with Jack Proctor from the Administrator’s Office of Uniform Building Code, Baumgardner suggests that the building inspector work office hours on Tuesday and Thursday with an ad(Continued on Page 2) personnel pay for repairs, insurance, tags, and other expenses associated with operating a motor vehicle. "With their car payments and with gas and insurance as high as they are now, the deputies are having an awful time making ends meet," Buntin said. ‘‘The com(Continued on Page 6) damned, direct harassment," he charged. Bird, a former judge, explained that counties are authorized by the state to enact ordinances banning loaded rifles and shotguns from motor vehicles and public right-of-ways. He maintained that game wardens have probable cause to check for a loaded rifle or shotgun if a firearm is visible in a vehicle crusing back roads at five miles per hour or parked on the shoulder of the road during hunting season. Commonwealth Attorney Douglas Baumgardner assured the supervisor chairman that any ordinances aimed at controlling illegal road hunting would be subject to the laws of search and seizure. "Just because the state passed a law doesn't mean it’s constitutional.” argued Luke. Bird noted that there’s been no outcry about abuse from other neighboring counties. “You’re assuming the worst case—that our law enforcement personnel will violate the laws of search and seizure. 1 don’t think they will.” Bird told Luke. "A guy sitting in a car on the side of the road—who’s he hurting? Nobody!” the supervisor chairman maintained. “He’s not hurting anybody if he’s just sitting there but when he starts driving up and down at two, three miles per hour, looking for deer to shoot (on posted property), he is," said a local farmer. (Continued on Page 6) Town Must Approve Sharing Comp Plan By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rap|Mihann«M*k %*•*«» Staff I rilrr Residents of the town of Washington will have to decide at a public hearing if they want the county’s planning commission involved in the town’s planning process. At last Thursday's meeting of the Rappahannock supervisors, chairman E. P. Luke announced that an earlier resolution from the town council, requesting that the county’s comprehensive plan also serve as the town’s, was insufficient. According to Luke, the county planners will automatically become planners for the town if the county’s comprehensive plan serves both. Since this is the case. Luke said, the proposal must be advertised by the Washington Town Council and voted on following a public hearing as in any ordinance change. “It has its advantages and disadvantages," Luke continued, noting that the county planners will have to take on extra responsibility if the proposal is approved. “If I lived in the town of Washington. I’m not sure I’d want the guys on the county planning commission to do my planning,” he added. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner pointed out that all property in the town of Washington is in the same zoning category and so all special use permits and exceptions will continue to be approved by the town council, even if the county comprehensive plan is adopted by the town. "There are no rezonings in the town so the planners wouldn't be involved there,” he said. Baumgardner acknowledged. however, that any proposed changes in the town’s zoning ordinances would have to be reviewed by the county planners. Luke volunteered to write Washington Mayor Newbill Miller, informing him of the ordinance that the town must adopt before the supervisors can agree formally to have the county's comprehensive plan shared by the town. Mrs. Curtis Assumes Postmaster’s Position It’s a woman’s world—especially in the post offices of Rappahannock County, where of the eight post offices seven of the postmasters are women. Mary Curtis was officially designated postmaster of the U. S. Post Office in Flint Hill on Saturday morning. She had been officer in charge since the retirement early this year of Mabel Lillard and had been clerk in that office for the past five years. “I haven’t any problems with the office since 1 have been associated with it for five years and I had such a good instruction under Mabel Lillard. She’s the greatest person I’ve ever known, continued Mary, “and conditions remain good with fellow employees like Mitchell Jenkins, Doug Hume and Mary Wood.” Mary Curtis, nee Timmons, a native of Alexandria, moved when she was 12 to Washington. D. C. She attended Langley Junior High School and was graduated from McKinley High. Following this she was employed with the Demand Ordinance Fuse Lab, a division of the Bureau of Standards until it was made a separate entity. She also worked for the Canteen Corp, a vendi^company. “When 1 was a kid 1 spent some weekends and visited in the summer with an aunt in Amissville. While I enjoyed it, I could not imagine living P in the country all of the time. Well, Jack and l moved to Flint Hill in September of 1%9 from Oxon Hill. Md. and we both love it. Just try to get me away from here! Jack was born in Rixeyville and grew up in Amissville. so he was a country boy." "A year ago we bought some land from Mabel and Carson Lillard and built a new house next to theirs. The people in the country are so nice and concerned about each other. Flint Hill is just like one big family." “1 knew Jack, my husband, when we were kids and l visited in Amissville, then met him again on a blind date seven years later. That’s when it all started and I became Mrs. Walter Jackson Curtis,” said Mary. “We have two sons grown and married; William Jackson of Columbia. Md. who is with Creative Planning m Rockville and Robert Walter, an engineer with Agrico in Tulsa. Okla. "Jack gardens, golfs and is a sort of jack-of all-trades. He retired from the Canteen Corp. before we moved to Rappahannock.” Mary continued, “so now I guess I'm the breadwinner." Mary succeeding Mabel, joins Aline Johnson, postmaster at Sperryville; Carol (Continued on Page 2) MRS. MARY CURTIS

Piedmont Tech Center Opens Door For Student’s Careers Rommuea irom Page 1) In health, Piedmont offers training in licensed practical nursing. It's a state controlled program — after passing the regional school's final exam, candidates must also pass a state test. Last year, Bodine reported, 100 per cent of the young women who mastered Piedmont’s tesjialso came through the state test with flying colors. Health assistant courses have been an equal success. Students training as health assistants spend time in local nursing homes and hospitals anu men gei jods in tne same institutions after graduation. “We could double our current enrollment and have no trouble placing our students," Bodine said. Housed on the upper floor of the school, the health lab itself looks like an old country hospital. Life-like dummies lie in hospital beds next to hanging bottles of intravenous solutions and night tables with beds separated by familiar movable screens. Health related classes are also included in the business category. In addition to the basics of programming taught on a computer dubbed “Shirley," students can take medical office services, a course that requires six weeks of on-thejob training as part of the curriculum. Seniors in the business program who have not mastered a job entry skill can get special help in a "senior intensified program” that gives them a half-day of intensive office trianing in typing, filing and other duties of a secretary or receptionist. Trade And Industrial Trade and industrial courses comprise the bulk of —Photo courtesy Piedmont Tech LINDA FUDD, a junior from RCHS, takes fashion and tailoring during morning courses at Piedmont Vocational Technical Center. Since Rappahannock students have to leave class early for the hour long bus ride to RCHS, teachers individualize instruction to compensate for the time missed, according to principal John Bodine. Piedmont's vocational education program. It covers traditional areas but with a non-traditional approach. Students in building trades develop skills in masonry, carpentry, plumbing and electrical wiring during the first year studies conducted in training labs. After they've mastered the basics, they work on the Piedmont Foundation's project, a student-built home. The Foundation is composed of local realtors. Piedmont administrators and teachers assigned to the classes involved in the house construction. From the initial design and blue prints to the final coat of paint, all the work is done by students under the supervision of the Piedmont faculty. This is the Foundation’s second house project. According to Bodine, the first took three years to realty world. dl. fl REALTOR mM RENT WITH OPTION TO BUY .. If your home is oh the market long enough, you’ll hear the proposition: “I'll rent your home with the option to buy.” We've heard it time and again. It is usually made by someone who wants to get out of the rain and is not really serious about buying ANY house. I would not advise you to rent your home under these circumstances unless there is a serious consideration for the option over and above the rent. The consideration should be a significant amount because you are removing your home for the market. The longer the period of time, the larger the consideration. The option may or may not apply x ' \ ^ ~ ± ^ it agarhst Site *pf ice. These and many other items should all be specified in the option contract which should be drafted with even more care than the usual purchase and sale agreement. Most important of all - remember that you are now culling your prospects down to one - one who has already told you he would prefer to rent than buy.

The money was plowed back into financing the second, larger house which Bodine estimates will take only a year to complete and bring in profits close to $15,000. “We've already got people indicating an interest in buying the house,” the principal added. The machinist shop at Piedmont contains equipment worth close to a million dollars. Lathes, milling machines, drill presses, grinders, heat ovens, band saws—all are borrowed from the federal government inr a lend-lease program. “We run a full-fledged machinist program,” said Bodine, pointing out beautifully crafted letters made in the shop for a sign at the front of the school. “There’s a tremendous demand for the students from Piedmont with machinist training,” he added. The demand is also high for young men and women with drafting skills. After courses in architectural drafting, mechanical drafting and blue print reading, Piedmont’s students go directly to drafting departments in local businesses such as Rochester Rope Corporation, according to Bodine. “They’re elated with our students," he said, adding that young men and women from Piedmont have earned a reputation for being well-trained and safety conscious. Students trained in welding are also in high demand. Businesses “want to take them before we even finish.” said Bodine. “When North Anna was being built in Louisa County, they couldn’t get enough.” The original gymnasium from the days when Piedmont was Carver High has been turned into an electronics lab with individualized instruction in circuitry, TV and radio repair. Students work at their own speed, studying theory and then verifying the text book lessons in the lab unit.

Although trade and industrial classes are open to both young men and women, most have all-male enrollment, despite industry’s demand for female employees. Piedmont’s two exceptions are the cosmotology course, a threeyear program with a state test for licensing required at completion, and the fashion and tailoring course that teaches commercial rather than home sewing skills, Bodine reported ‘'that students from the tailoring class presented a fashion show last month with professional quality fashions designed and sewn by students. No Extras As a regional technical school, Piedmoint has no basketball squad and cheerleaders, no track team, none of the standard extracurricular activities. Instead, said Bodine, the school sponsors health, trade, business and home economics clubs, cocurricular activities that are an integral part of instruction. As club members, students compete in local contests designed to show off the job skills they've acquired in vocational education. Wins at the local level can take contestants on to district, state and even national competition. According to Bodine, the clubs teach youngsters “how to be a human being, how to get along with others, to assume leadership, to get and keep a job.” Piedmont has a new pilot program instituted this year where students split their senior year between work and school. Three seniors are currently participating, two electricians and one machinist, all employed at Rochester Rooe. Bodine intends to expand this innovative approach by encouraging students to begin courses at Piedmont in their sophomore year so they can complete most of their job training as juniors and enter a combination workstudy program as seniors, receiving salary for hours spent in employment. Show Place Piedmont isn’t a gleaming new technical center with all the latest gadgets and geegaws in the vocational education field. It’s housed in an old central building with paint peeling off the wall and in long, low auxilliary sheds. But it ranks as a show place, judged on the excellence of (OHOXKtWB*** —Photo courtesy Piedmont Tech RCHS SENIOR BERNARD MILLS studies electronics during Piedmont’s afternoon program. Mills will represent the regional school as a VICA club contestant in advanced circuitry. the training it offers, the quality of its teaching equipment, the dedication of its faculty and administration and the attitude of the Piedmont students. The young men and women deserve high marks for self-discipline. Most of the training is individualized. Students work at their own pace on different projects spread out over a lab with one teacher walking from project to project to advise and assist. There’s no one looking over their shoulder every minute of the class time* but the students we saw on Monday’s tour weren’t taking any time off to goof around. “They get a break half-way through the class,” Bodine said. “At the beginning of the year, the halls were pretty crowded with students using that break to relax. Now, they’re so involved that very few leave. The halls are almost deserted during breaks because the kids just keep right on working.” As one teacher described the difference at Piedmoint: “Students don’t come here to be done to. They come here to do.” /*!/■ Special Program The Inspiration and the Men’s Chorus of Macedonia Baptist Church will offer a program on Sunday, February 17, at 3 p.m. at Macedonia Baptist Church in Flint Hill.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1980 By GEORGE BEARD Another hazard has popped up here in Richmond. It’s called "Joggernauts" and they are all over the place. (I guess 1 could leave the letter ‘a’ out of this word.) They are up early in the morning and late in the evening. There is a Senator here who is up early jogging and when he finishes he stands out in the cold drinking hot coffee. After this he showers, eats breakfast and gets in his car, then rides one mile to work. The hazard part is when you are walking to work you never know when one of them will come flying around a corner and flatten you. I sure would hate to have my epitaph read. “Here lies George, puzzled and fraught, he was run over by a Joggernaut”. We had a five hour public hearing yesterday on increasing the tobacco tax and removing the food tax. It looks as if this is going to be a put and take session. Put a tax on here and take off a tax there. Delegate Quillen requested a 2 cent tax on tobacco for school purposes for Scott and Lee Counties. The tax in the three tobacco growing states is. North Carolina two cents, Virginia two and one-half cents, and Kentucky three cents. Naturally, all the Delegates from the tobacco growing area were in opposition. They gave employment figures as well as revenues the industry brings into the State. Delegate Brickley offered a bill to allow all counties to have their own tobacco tax, a tax that all cities in Virginia now have. It is amazing the tax disparity among the cities, from Bristol with a two cent tax to Falls Church which has a ten cent tax. Twenty cities have taxes in this range. It’s interesting to note that Falls Church’s revenue in 1979 was SI84,00 and Fairfax County which has a five cent tax received $2'/i million. The best solution was that of Delegate Barrow, who two yeras ago advocated imposition of a statewide four cent tax, abolishing all city taxes and dividing the revenue to the counties and towns based on population. The cities would not give in and the bill failed so it looks as if there is no chance now to equalize this tax. The sales tax on food took up most of the hearing and a bill by Delegate Stambaugh became unwieldy. Certain store items were exempted and a five to six year phaseout followed. Beard #■ The food dealers vigorously oppose the bill, not the removal of the tax. but the mechanics of the bill. It would cost the stores approximately S23 million to change their cash register equipment to handle th eexemptions. etc., that were required in Stambaugh's bill. I am not sure how our independent grocers could handle the equipment, because of certain exempt items. I informed the Chairman our independents would have to use a few more cigar boxes to keep the money and information separated. The loss to our counties in tax revenue based on the phase-out period would be as follows: Rappahannock $642,400, Orange $2,702,500, Madison $1,341,000 and Culpeper $3,474,300, a total of more than eight million dollars in the six year period. The total State loss would be threefourths of a billion dollars. Increasing taxes on services and nonessential items plus an increase in state income taxes would not make up the difference. A drastic cut in spending services is the only answer. Two new proposals are being studied for recommendation to the Finance Committee. One is to consider taxes at the wholesale level to alleviate the mechanical problem of the stores, the other is to give a tax refund on income at the $10,000 level and below, requiring those in this category to apply for the same. Details on these two proposals are supposed to ready tomorrow. What started out to be a simple procedure, I thought, turned out to be mass confusion. We will have to wait and see. Longest five hours 1 have spent down here and still no votes have been taken. Almost 3,000 bills and resolutions were written but only about 1,800 got in before the deadline. Now we have subcommittee and committee meetings, morning, noon and night. A resolution to study raising the driving age was killed in committee. Another bill to require an 18-year-old to be in the automobile with a younger driver probably won’t make it either. A bill to exempt farm trucks from weight limits is now in committee. Exempting college textbooks from sales taxes has reached the House. This bill will be voted on tomorrow. An interesting bill to allow local, governments to self-insure is on the docket. There are many other important bills now surfacing, however, I have run out of space. Next week I hope to tell you about them. Public hearings take up too much time and space. See you next week. — Rappahannock New* Photo/Sarah Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Liability Insurance (Continued from Page 1) erect a fire escape on one side of the building so as not to deface the front and indicated that they would try to find an old iron fire escape, rather than having a new one constructed. No action has been taken since, however, and the only exit from the second-story of the court house remains the stairs built over the boiler room.) “We approved a fire escape. Whatever happened to it?” asked supervisor Clarence Baldwin. In response to Luke’s concern, Bowan agreed that the county would be liable if a person was trapped by fire in the upstairs courtroom. The supervisors made no commitment to increase the county's insurance coverage to include liability. They did, however, authorize Bowan to investigate the cost of such coverage. The board also voted unanimously to issue a bingo license to the Atnissvitle Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad. Luke* noted that the board had' waived all fees and audit requirements in licensing, required by state law for all bingo games whether conducted weekly or at the annual carnivals run by fire and rescue squads. He emphasized that license applications from ALL Changes In U. S. Savings Bonds The Treasury Department says the new Series EE savings bonds, which went on sale effective January 1, will be called United States Energy Savings Bonds, Series EE, and will recieve a lA percent bonus if held to maturity. The interest rate on U. S. Energy Savings Bonds, Series EE, will be increased from 6. 5 percent to 7 percent for bonds held for the 11 years to maturity. Series E bonds that have not finally matured and U. S. Savings Notes (“Freedom Shares”) will also receive the 'A percent bonus if they are held for 11 years from the date of the first semiannual interest period that beggins on or after January 1, 1980. Bonds and notes redeemed earlier will not receive the bonus. The redesignation of the bonds as Energy Savings Bonds is intended to help focus attention on the national goals of reducing energy consumption and increasing domestic supplies. The bonds were known as Defense Bonds before and after World War II and as War Bonds from 1941 to 1945 reflecting the national concerns of these times. The Energy Savings Bonds will assist in financing the large Federal energy expenditure required in the coming years. After June 30, 1980, all U. S. Savings Bonds bought This was The News_ in Bygone Rappahannock Times. , 1970 -10 YEARS AGO The auditors who examined and audited the books for Rappahannock County said at the Board of Supervisors Meeting that the books were in excellent condition and made the auditors job very easy. At the boiud meeting Sheriff C. K. Estes reported that the re-wiring of the jail had been completed as well as other repairs. He also reported that the state inspector advised heavy screens over the windows to eliminate the possibility of anything being passed through a window. Rep. John O. Marsh announced that he would not seek re-election in the fall for the Seventh District congressional seat. He expressed appreciation to the Rappahannock citizens for their previous support in his election to serve four terms. Mr. and Mrs. John H.

A 1950 - 30 YEARS AGO OVER 400 people gathered in the Washington High School auditorium to discuss what could be done to better the schools of Rappahannock County. Included in the discussion were recommendations for consolidation of the highfii schools to only one; four primary schools—Washington, Amissville, Sperryville and Flint Hill; three elementary schools—Washington, Flint Hill and Sperryville. No concrete action came from the meeting which adjourned because of the late hour. Mrs. W. A. Miller entertained with a canasta party at Mt. Prospect for a number of the young people of the community. Mrs. B. J. Wood was hostess for the February meeting of the Flint Hill Garden Club and Paul L. Miller showed slides of Williamsburg.

Give Barn Owls A Free Home Natural Resources students at Lord Fairfax Community College are offering free barn owl nesting boxes to local farmers. Barn owls, which often live in barns, silos, church steeples and grain mills, are tremendous predators on mice and voles. In a food analysis study at the college, Professor Robert Simpson and his students found that 96.4 percent of the owl’s diet was meadow voles. This type of mouse is especially destructive to orchards. The girdling activities of the vole destroy. large numbers of apple trees each year. The rest of the bam owl’s diet consisted of mice, shrews and starlings. If anyone has an appropriate barn, silo or grain mill where a bam owl could enter and would like to have a nesting box put up, call Professor Robert Simpson at 869-1120 before February 28th. county organizations that operate bingo games were due January 1, 1980. To date, only Amissville has applied. Dog Kill? A dog kill claim submitted by Gene Fisher of Castleton took up more time than any other single item on Thursday's agenda. At the opening of the meeting, dog warden Jack Bruce told the supervisors that Fisher reported his cow down on Saturday night, December 15, but that since the animal was already dead, he hadn’t investigated the claim until Sunday. According to Bruce, Fisher said the cow had taken ill Friday. Reportedly, she had been treated by a vet who indicated the cow had a good chance to recover. Then, on Saturday, the animal—still on the ground—was chewed up by dogs and subsequently shot by Fisher. Bruce said when he went over on Sunday, the dead cow was covered with .hay. “The dogs had been at her again,” he noted. Fisher "said he wanted compensation. He said a good friend of his was a lawyer and he would have his lawyer with him,” Bruce reported. Asked for the approximate value of the animal, Bruce recalled that one of Fisher’s cows was appraised in January, 1979, at $100. Since the cow was killed, the dog warden added, Fisher’s bull had also died. “It seems to me, if you had a sick cow, you’d take it some place protected...not leave it out in the field,” remarked Luke. Bruce added that Dr. Graves, the veterinarian who had treated the cow, had just returned from Florida vacation and wouldn’t take any calls until the following week. The dog warden left and about an hour later into the meeting Fisher arrived. He told the supervisors that he’d left his job early Friday morning. December 14, after his wife called to tell him that a cow was down in the barnyard. According to Fisher. Dr. Graves diagnosed the condition as a vitamin deficiency, gave the cow injections and said she had a good chance if food and water could be kept in her and if she could be gotten back on her feet. Attacked By Beagles Fisher said he stayed with the sick animal all day but had to go into town Saturday and so asked his neighbor to help. Beagles attacked the cow in the late afternoon and did considerable damage since she couldn’t defend herself. Fisher said. ”lt was senseless to leave the cow there suffering so 1 pirt her away arid called Mr. Bruce." Fisher said. He estimated the dead cows weight at between 600 and 800 pounds and noted that the vet had confirmed she was in calf. “Once the dogs got to her, it kind of eliminated much chance of saving her," Fisher concluded. "Have you seen the dogs since?" asked supervisor H. B. Wood. “There are lots of beagles up in that hollow—15 to 20 at any one time. 1 couldn't put my finer on the beagle who did it,” answered Fisher. “That was a pretty sick cow if a beagle did that to her," interjected supervisor Dick Latham. “1 think we would be setting a bad precedent if we paid a claim like this ” "Fisher himself isn't sure if the cow would have lived or not," added Baldwin. "1 agree it’s a most unusual situation,” Wood commented. “It would have been better if Fisher had a letter from the vet." “Up to the time the dogs got on her, he felt the cow had a perfectly good chance," Fisher countered, adding that the cow was sitting up unassisted by the time he left Saturday morning. "But was she given reasonable protection for the shape she was in?” asked Latham who a few minutes later left the meeting to return to his farm and care foi . jick cow of his own. The supervisors took no action on Fisher’s claim, tabling it until after they receive additional information from Dr. Graves, the vet who treated the cow. Washington’s Birthday Closings Closed Monday, February 18, in observance of George Washington’s Birthday are county and state offices, including Virginia ABC stores.

To the editor: While attending a home basketball game at Rappahannock County High School, 1 was shocked at the poor maintenance at the school. j The sidewalks in front of the school were in a very icy, hazardous condition, since no one bothered to clear them prior to a home game. As if this wasn’t bad enough, a pig sty was cleaner than the bathroom. Instead of money allocated from the school budget to buy so many plants, and to allow a candy machine in the hall, perhaps the school officials should channel their monies to provide for a more competent janitorial department. What excuse could possibly be given for this, other than an apathetic concern on the part of the school officials and complete incompetency in the custodian services? HARRY W. MUNDY Free Tax Help Provided Free assistance in preparing federal and state income tax returns will be available for area residents. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) is sponsored in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, tax and accounting students of Lord Fairfax Community College, Phi Beta Lambda Business Organization and the local chapter of the National Accounting Association. The VITA program is designed to aid those with relatively simple tax returns while giving students practical experience to compliment their educational program. VITA assistance will be offered at Lord Fairfax Community College on March 1, March 15, and April 5 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Professor Gary Jusing, local coordinator of the VITA program at Lojd Fairfax noted that taxpayers needing assistance should bring their tax packages that they received from the Internal Revenue Service and all statements such as W-2’s, interest statements, a copy of their 1978 return if possible, and all other pertinent tax documents. This service is designed to aid the elderly and those with relatively low income. Business returns will not be given assistance. Any questions may be directed to Professor Roger Milburn, or Professor Richard Hardison in the Business Technology Division of Lord Fairfax Community College, 869-1120. — Happthmnock New* l*hotn/Daphne Hutchinwm IN A RECORD SETTING meeting, the Rappahannock school board conducted business for two hours on Tuesday night in front of the public before retiring to closed, executive session for five hours and ten minutes.

Supervisors Consider County Code, Cars (Continued from Page 1) pensation board has a bill in the legislature to raise mileage payments to 18 cents but I don't think they can make ends meet on that with the added costs:” As part of an annexation bill package, the General Assembly is likely to approve state payment of most of the sheriff department's expenses but this proposal will not include the cost of countyowned cars. Buntin noted. He alerted the supervisors on his department's request for cars that will be included in the 1980-81 proposed budget and added that he is also investigating rental contracts. Gas Companies Opposed Last July, the supervisors gave preliminary approval to the installation of underground gasoline storage tanks for the sheriffs department after Buntin reported that his deputies encountered supply problems during the summer's gas shortages. Since then, the sheriff has met with tangle after bureaucratic tangle in trying to obtain an extra allotment for a distributor to use in filling the tanks. First he wrote to various oil companies and was told that they needed the extra allotment before making any commitment to fill the 1,000 gallon tank. So Buntin filled out an allocation form and sent it to regional department of energy offices in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia people returned the form, noting that they didn't handle allocation requests of less than 840.000 gallons. Buntin then filled out a new application and mailed it to the state department of energy office in Richmond. The Richmond office lost the first application. Buntin mailed off a second application but received no answer. He called Richmond and was told that the state office had written the regional office in Philadelphia, asking for an allocation. To date, the only response from Philadelphia has been negative. Chairman E. P. Luke reported at last Thursday’s supervisor meeting that both Mobil and Citgo oil companies have asked the department of energy to deny Rap ESTATE AUCTION saturday, February 16th, 11:00 AM Sharp, Rain or Shine.

Primarily because the new storage tank isn’t in the ground yet, according to Sheriff Buntin. And the reason that the tank's not in the ground is because the supervisors have been holding off installation until they receive assurance that there will be gas available to fill it. Buntin reported that local distributers think the energy department will give Rappahannock the extra As allotment if the county tmt installs the storage tank. “I’m not sure but I think our chances would improve,” Buntin told the supervisors on Thursday. With the steady increase in gasoline prices, interjected H. B. Wood, the sheriff s department won’t save any money by purchasing gasoline in bulk. ’’We’re not interested in saving money but in having the gas available," Buntin countered. Welfare Endangered Luke maintained that the county could make a case supporting the extra allotment on the grounds that health, safety and welfare would be adversely affected if the sheriffs department can’t get adequate gas. "The sheriffs department has a top priority,” agreed supervisor Clarence Baldwin, who also operates a grocery store and gasoline station. "I know that for a fact.” In response to the assurances, the supervisors reaffirmed their earlier approval for Buntin to have the storage tanks installed. In other action, the supervisors reappointed Frances Thornton to a threeyear term as public health nurse and authorized new deputy treasurer Mrs. Sharon Dodson to sign checks in the absence of county treasurer Frances Foster. Luke also reported on letters from resident engineer Don Askew (1) stating that the highway department will recommend sites in the county for commuter parking lots and (2) advising the county that the Rappahannock Farmers Coop will have to construct a traffic deacceleration lane before making any alterations in existing facilities or changes in recently rezoned property to the rear of the coop building on Route 211. In a final item following a 45-minute session on personnel and legal matters,» Luke stated that the supervisors had "nothing of importance to report at this time." Controls Considered (Continued from Page 1) “Do you carry a gun in your pick-up?” Luke demanded. “No sir," the farmer answered. “But I may have to start carrying one. We have to move some of them somehow.” he said, referring to illegal hunters. “It’s getting worse every year." “Why dtm’t the hunters police themselves?” Luke asked. Bandits, Not Hunters “These people are not real hunters. They’re bandits,” countered Wood, adding that most violators were from outside the county. Trying another tack, Luke suggested that residents bothered by illegal road hunting first try to get Rappahannocks six-week deer hunting season changed to coincide with the two weeks allowed on the other side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As for ordinances to ban loaded rifles and shotguns from Motor vehicles, Luke described the regulations as “« violation of civil rights’? and added,that he remained' "adamently opposed” to enactment. Wood’s motion to hold a public hearing passed unanimously. "I said if this came up. I’d take it back to the people and I intend to do it in my district,” interjected supervisor Hubert Gilkey. He explained later that he will hold a meeting with residents of Chester Gap, Flint Hill and Huntly areas before the supervisors’ public hearing scheduled for Wednesday, March 5, at 7:30 in the court house.

Since the Act went into effect in 1975, a total of $284,477 in matching grant money has been disbursed in 755 matching grants to 235 fire departments. This year the same amount of grant money ($53,600) is available for allocation to qualifying rural departments. The Virginia Division of Forestry is charged with the administration of the Virginia grant and will absorb the administrative costs to allow the full $53,600 to be available to the rural fire departments. The grant money is to be used to assist rural fire departments which service communities having populations of less than 10,000. Emphasis will be placed on assistance with training and the purchase of small equipment items. The funds are available on a matching basis, said Custard.

Maybe that’s why almost eight million persons have turned “motorcyclist"—many for pleasure and quite a few for basic transportation. Unfortunately, the many advantages of motorcycles can be outweighed by injury and death risks for those who are not careful. According to the U. S. Department of Transportaton, 80 per cent of reported motorcycle accidents result in injury or death. The comparable figure for automobiles is 10 per cent. The first important safety consideration is to buy a motorcycle you can handle. From time to time, the bike has to be picked up when it falls or pushed when it’s disabled. So try .T,these maneuvers in the showroom. On the other hand, watch out for small bikes that may not have the power for highway driving. If you’re planning to carry a passenger, make sure the bike has a passenger seat as well as footrests in the back. Accident studies show that the parts of the body most often injured in motorcycle accidents are the head, arms, and legs, with the most serious injuries occurring to the head. So, a helmet is not just for looks, it’s the most important piece of equipment with the bike. Look for one with the symbol “DOT” on the outer surface, or a safety certification on the inside by the Snell Memorial Foundation or the Safety Helmet Council of America. That means the manufacturer certifies that the helmet conforms to federal safety standards. And, always wear the helmet! Goggles, glasses with plastic or safety lenses, or face shields are a good idea too. They’ll protect the eyes from the wind, and keep bugs and dirt from blocking vision. Don’t worry about fashion when you're on the bike. Motorcyclists in cut-offs or flared pants are just asking for serious trouble. Most riders like either heavy denim or leather clothes. Leather gloves are good, too, for increased gripping ability. Leather boots are best, but durable shoes that cover the ankle are all right too. Forget sandals or tennis shoes—they just don’t protect. Finally, make sure something you wear is eyecatching. Some cyclists wear lightweight orange or red vests over their jackets. It seems a high percentage of car-bike collisions happen because the automobile driver didn't see the cyclist. ++H—h Rome has the oldest school of fine arts, the Academy of St. Luke, founded in 1478.

Pairs must be members of the same recognized hunt and must “have fairly hunted during the current season." The course is three miles over natural hunting country. No schooling is allowed at Casanova but the course may be walked in advance. Casanova's pair race is The Longwood, starting at 10:30 a.m. The pair race is the first on each hunt's point-to-point agenda and is the event where spectators can watch persons compete who hunt regularly. It is not necessary to compete in all three hunt’s pair races to win the pair race championship, but it is advised. In each race, six points will go to the winn&s, four to second place, three to third, two to fourth and one point to everyone who finishes. State TB Rate Than National The tuberculosis case rate (cases per 100,000 population) in Virginia is slightly higher than that in the United States as a whole, reports Tuberculosis in Virginia-78, published yearly by the Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Lung Association (VLA). The national case rate is 13.1 per 100,000 population as compared to Virginia's case rate. 14 per 100,000 population. In 1978 (latest statistics), Virginia ranked 18th among those states with the largest case rates. "In the VLA Blue Ridge Region, there were 22 cases of TB reported in 1978,” said Dr. William E. Apperson, director of tuberculosis control for the State Department of Health.

Guests When Mother's Cold BLACKSBURG — A maxim in many homes has been that when mother is chilly, children put on sweaters. That could also fit with another maxim. When your hands and feet are cold, put on a sweater or a vest, suggested Virginia Tech Extension specialist in clothing and textiles, Beatrice Kalka. To keep hands and feet warm, the best first step is to keep the trunk of the body warm, she said. The body’s mechanism is to first protect the vital organs in the trunk by keeping the supply of blood there. When it is sufficiently warm, then the blood flow to the extremeties is increased. And, those who are really cold should put on a hat, she recommended. As much as 90 per cent of the body's heat loss is through the head since there is no mechanism to prevent it such as a thick layer of flesh and muscle. Those night caps that used to be popular a few decades ago were very practical in keeping people warm and comfortable through the cold winter nights, said the Tech College of Home Economics faculty member.

Virginia’s Highway Death Total Down in 1979 Although final statistics will not be available until February 1, the Department of State Police reported today that preliminary figures indicate fewer persons lost their lives on Virginia’s highways in 1^79 than in any year since 1963. The tentative 1979 total of highway fatalities is 1,005, 75 fewer than 1978 and the lowest figure since 1963 when 989 were killed. A Department spokesman noted that the 1979 figure would be revised should a person injured in a crash die within 30 days due to these injuries. "Obviously, we are very pleased with such a significant reduction in highway deaths,” said Colonel D. M. Slane, State Police Superintendent. "Virginia motorists as well as all State and local agencies related to highway safety should take pride in this accomplishment.” The 55 mile per hour speed limit, coupled with voluntary compliance by motorists was listed as a primary contributor to the reduction in highway deaths. Virginia has led the nation in voluntary compliance since 1978. Another important factor is vehicular travel. Although Virginia may show an increase in vehicular miles traveled for 1979, the increase is not expected to be as great as would have been expected prior to fuel conservation measures and gas shortages. Final mileage statistics will not be available until early February, but it is anticipated that 1979 will set an all-time record low in Virginia as far as the death rate per one hundred million miles is concerned. Colonel Slane further stated. "State Police participation in Operation C.A.R.E. and the Department’s continuing Selective Enforcement Program were also significant contributions to the decline in 1979 highway deaths.” Operation C.A.R.E.—a synonym for Combined Accident Reduction Effort—is a national program concentrated on the major holiday periods of Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day. The Selective Enforcement Program, funded by a Federal grant made available through the Department of Transportation Safety, is a 12-month program involving increased patrols and police visibility on certain sections of highways according to traffic volume and accident frequency. In addition to these contributing factors to the V >1 reduction in fatalities, State Police emphasize the important contributions made by other State, local and private agencies—including the news media—in providing vital safety information to motorists. “Credit for the saving of lives on the State’s highways must be widely shared,’’ said Colonel Slane. "Unquestionably, an accomplishment such as this would not be possible without the cooperative effort of every motorist and every agency. Now, the challenge for 1980 is clear."

If The Food Freezer Slops BLACKSBURG—Use your senses and common sense to evaluate the safety of food if a food freezer stops functioning and the food starts to thaw. Considerable time and effort, as well as money, may go into the filling of a freezer, said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutriotion. It is natural to want to salvage as much food as possible, but safety considerations should come first. Feel the food packages. Are the contents still frozen, thawed but with some ice crystals remaining or still cold? If so, they would probably still be safe to eat, said specialist Jo Anne Barton. Consider the nature of the food. Food with a high sugar Culpeper Art Co. 204 N. Main St. Culpeper, Va. Quality Antiques Custom Framing r content will thaw first. Such foods are subject to fermentation and-or mold growth, both of which are easily detected. Large chunks of food will stay frozen longer than smaller packages. Some foods are more apt to contain spoilage organisms and the nutrients those organisms need to grow. Protein rich foods which are handled a lot in preparation are high risk foods, she said. Smell the food if thawed. An off-odor may indicate spoilage. However, it can be spoiled and not have an offensive odor, she warned. Foods, which are still partially frozen or which have thawed but remained cold, can be refrozen safely. “If it is safe to eat, it is safe to refreeze,” she said, suggesting that those packages which were thawed be marked to find them and use them as soon as possible to prevent further loss of quality. Refreezing the food may present a problem, the specialist continued. Most freezers have the capability of freezing only two to three NOTICE §ountry (Cupboards of Washington, Va. continues to serve your needs, providing fine handmade cabinetry, reproduction furniture, antique restoration and custom milhvork.

If a commercial firm can’t be found, the faculty member in Virginia Tech’s College of Home Economics recommended this procedure. Clean out the freezer, wiping up any spoilage. Separate food packages leaving space around the packages to improve air circulation. Lower the temperature to the lowest setting. “Keep your cool,” Miss Barton said. Evaluate the situation carefully before taking action. Delay discarding food until you are sure it is the best action, but be willing to discard food if it has deteriorated to the point that it is unsafe or even unpalatable."

Farm Costs To Be Updated u. farmers spent over $114 billion in 1978 to produce crops, livestock, and poultry, topping the previous year’s $100 billion level. According to the U. S. Department of Agricutlure and the Virginia Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, this averages over $48,000 per farm, nationally. Feed, accounting for over $16.5 billion, was the major expenditure, followed by livestock and poultry purchases at $13.5 billion; wages at $10.2 billion; rent at $9.3 billion; interest at $7.5 billion; and fertilizer, lime and soil conditoiners at $7.2 billion. During February and March, enumerators from the Virginia Crop and livestock Reportlhg Service will interview a cross section of Virginia farmers as part of a nationwide program to determine 1979 production costs. Clarence Dunkerley, Virginia Agricultural Statistician, points out that information about the farm production outlays is important in comparing the farmer’s well-being with that of other groups in the nation’s economy. He adds that all responses will be confidential and only Regional and National summaries will be published. ++++ Ecological note: The expression used to be Spread oil on troubled waters.

We spent a half hour in a restored private residence where Mrs. Wilson supervised dressing two seventh graders in colonial attire that she pulled from a bedroom drawer. We admired the opulence of. the Governor’s Palace and heard why it’s referred to as a palace. ’’The builder spent seven years working on this place with the taxpayers footing the bill. They began to grumble because it was their money and wanted to know what he thought he was building—a palace or something.’’ Mrs. Wilson related with a laugh. Macaroni Explained Ever wonder why Yankee Doodle called the feather in his cap macaroni? Mrs. Wilson knew. To the delight of the kids, she explained that “macaroni” was the term used to describe the latest. most "with-it” fashions sported by the colonial equivalent of a fop or “jet setting dude." She also coined a couple of new expresions that the kids immediately adopted for their own. Walking in a town frequented by horse-drawm carriages presents dangers to the unwary. "Watch out for the atmosphere,” Mrs. Wilson cautioned as someone almost stepped on top of a pile of horse droppings. The kids hooted and for the rest of the tour, shouted the same warning at every opportunity. On another occasion, a couple of youngsters got into a minor pushing match. “Oh no. no. no.” Mrs. Wilson interrupted, stepping between the combatants before the controversy got out of hand. "Now fight nice." she admonished. Ever after "fight nice” became the standard advice for the kids to hand each other during any altercation. We were just as lucky in the guide we drew for the candlelight tour that followed a shopping spree in new WiUrlinisburg and dinner back at the motel cafeteria. A north Carolinian with a slow southern accent, she entertained and taught the kids as we followed the bobbing lanterns through the print shop, book binders and Raleigh Tavern bakery. She too was a store house of interesting tidbits. She explained that the young boys hired as runners to carry baked goods from the bakery to the tavern in colonial times had to have one important talent. They had to be able to whistle. “Now, why do you suppose that was?” she asked to no response from our group. “Why, if they were whistling, then they couldn't eat n the same time,” she explained. She added that a second grader in one of her earlier tour groups had figured oi|t a way to beat the old systems “H< said he would have gotten a friend who could whistle to walk along with him so he could eat.” Fan Language The guide saved her best for last and wove a web of enchantment around the kids during our final stop in the millinery shop. With a beautifully ornate fan, she carried on a conversation in fan language, stopping to interpret after every message. 1 tried to keep track but at the end of her demonstration, 1 couldn’t remember for sure which signal meant “I’m married” and which meant "Meet me later I’m available.” I’d have been a disaster in colonial times. By the time I’d mastered the code, my reputation would have been in shreds. After the candlelight walk, we were treated to an informal fife, drum and recorder concert. Two teenagers beat out and tooted the battle calls that were used to relay orders to troops before the invention of walkie-talkies and public address systems. Their music master performed several tunes that fell into the "easy listening" category in colonial times and then played some popular dance music from two hundred years ago. A few feet tapped around the room but after growing up with rock ‘n’ roll and disco, it was hard for the kids to get into the minuet. They showed a little mere pep as we-marched out to itye bus behind our pipes ami drummer, a few adventurous spirits from the front of the line even tried an impromptu cross between country What This Means To You~ This means our circulation is audited by an independent bureau of auditors.

Snow Forecast Back to our rooms a little before ten, the kids were quieter. A half hour after lights out, all but a few were asleep. Chaperones and teachers had huddled around the TV for the news finals, eager to hear the latest on the weather forecast that predicted snow and freezing rain for the morning. My first move after crawling from bed Sunday was to reach for the indoor shutters. The relief at seeing the same old shades of pine green_ and _idead-leaf-brown was almost overwhelming. The kids may have been thrilled at the prospects of being snowed in at Williamsburg but I wasn’t. I was psyched up for only three days of chaperoning. When we first 'heard the forecast. Bob Dennis and I had kiddingly laid plans to rent a car and flee back to Rappahannock rather than face being snowbound with 70 seventh graders. When we left after breakfast for Jamestown, everyone had one eye on the clouds massing overhead. But by the time we reached the site of the original settlement, the sky was blue again and worry about the snow called for by afternoon faded away. v At the old Jamestown, we saw the scraggly Cyprus tree that sticks out of the James River, a last reminder of the settlement that once stood on the same spot. In the exhibition hall, we viewed artifacts dug up from the swampy ground and displayed in modern plastic cases with excerpts from diaries and letters penned by the first colonists. On one wall are written more recent words of poet Stephen Vincent Benet. Reading them sent shivers down my spine, as he spoke of settlers who left the old world as Englishmen only to have the magic of the new transform them into something else, into Americans. The shivers hit again as we walked*1h rough the refflica of the Jamestown fort and down to their pier where the Susan Constance, Discovery and Godspeed are docked. No matter how many times I see the tiny boats and mud and wattle huts, I will never lose my admiration for the spirit shown by our ancestors crossing the Atlantic and then sticking it out through starvation, mud, mosquitoes and Indians. We gathered in the church, Jamestown's largest and finest building, to hear our guide tell of life at the settlement. I ne colonists were allowed two meals per day. usually a thin soup. They attended church, the Anglican Church of England, 13 times a week—twice a day from Monday through Saturday and six hours on Sunday. For missing service the first time, a sinner went without food for a day. For missing it a second time, he was tied to a tree and whipped. A third miss meant confinement in the stocks for six months. “And that meant no food, because if you were in the stocks, you weren’t working and if you didn’t work, you didn’t eat,” our guide said. He added that records indicate no one missed church more than twice. During services, sharp eyed guards watched for inattention by the worshippers. They had some latitude in handing out punishment to dozers. The guards had two long sticks—one ended with a feather and another with a rock so they could either tickle a parishioner who wasn’t listening or wallop Quietest!

No ERA There were a few women in Jamestown and it’s not hard to understand why there wasn’t a big rush up the gangplank in England. They had nothing close to equal rights, then not even in God's house. During church services, the gentlemen sat to the front in chairs with backs. The common men came next on rows of benches. In the rear, on wood planks up against the back wall, sat the women where they wouldn’t distract the men folk from their devotions. Back then, inequalities were more dramatic. Back then, assuming women had been given the right to vote, ERA might have earned their full support. According to the Jamestown guide, the settlers went through a starving time when all but 50 some out of more than 300 perished. The survivors stayed alive on a diet of boiled shoe leather, soup made from the straw thatch on roofs, dog meat and even rats. Asked by an inquisitive youngster if any had turned cannibal, the guide answered that the apothecary had been caught with his wife’s body salted down and ready for dinner. ‘‘They hanged him,” the guide added, and presumably, his dear departed spouse was returned to the grave rather than the supper table. Leaving Jamestown behind, the kids didn’t seem bothered by the memory of that salted body. Their appetites were in fine shape as we swarmed into McDonald’s to give ourselves a break on America’s favorite junk food. They carried burgers, fries, milkshakes, apple pies and sodas back onto the bus to ward oft starvation during the final leg of our drive back to Rappahannock. Snow never appeared and the kids were relatively quiet during the last ride, giving teachers and chaperones time to nap or read the Sunday paper. The activity chosen seemed to bear a direct relationship to the number of cups of coffee consumed. Arriving back at the elementary school, most of us were basking on a rosy glow. The chaperones—Aney Massie, Cheryl Ritchie, Arlene Frye, Bob Dennis, Roland Fontaine, Earl Jewell and myself—congratulated seventh grade teachers Lynne Baines, Susan Henry and Becky Hawkins and each other on the exemplary conduct of our young charges. It’s the kids who deserved congratulations. They learned and had fun but never forgot to be polite and considerate. We had a few shoving matches, a little ice tossed on the bus and a couple of adventurers who were caught on the steps coming down to the girls’ floor at 5 a.m. Saturday * morning; all minor incidents, none repeated. I think this group felt more pressure to behave after mishaps last year cast a cloud on the trip. The class worked harder to raise money for the outing, earning an extra $2,000 for the Trailways buses. Maybe the additional effort made them more appreciative. Or maybe—please let it be so!—good manners are coming back into style. For whatever the reasons, Rappahannock's seventh graders couldn't have been better behaved. The kids learned a lot in Williamsburg. Now Williamsburg knows we teach manners here in the country. < BEST EVER-LOWEST PRICES WASHINRTON BIRTHDAY SALE Frlday-Saturday-Monday 15-16-18 •Ladles Wear •Men’s Wear •Shoes *Toys •Hoese Wares 2 Big Sales Floors - Downtown Culpeper } LERNER’S DEPT.

But despite near perfect execution the Panthers were not able to keep the Dragons from holding a small lead, and trailed 13-10 at the end of the first period. Rappahannock faltered slightly in the second quarter on offense, allowing William Monroe to edge ahead. 27-23.^. After two minutes of inconsistent shooting Mike Leake connected to keep it close. 27-25. Then the Panthers tensed and let a pass slip. The Dragons took advantage of the mistake to lead 29-25 at the half. i ne reterees interrupted the flow of the game with numerous foul calls, some questionable, in the second period. The Panthers started the third period badly and William Monroe began to widen the spread. Rappahannock's biggest problem was absence of rebounding power. They pulled down only three in the whole quarter. The referees also seemed to have reached their set limit of foul calling in the first half and took it easy in the third quarter. At the buzzer. RCHS trailed. 43-34. Fast whistles at the start of the final period put both teams in the bonus situation early but the Panthers were slow to take advantage and didn't score until a minute in the quarter on a Jimmy Tomko free throw. The Panthers, sparked by this free throw, overcame an eleven point deficit. RCHS forced the Dragons to cough up the ball and with a minute and a half left were only behind 51-49. For a minute, both defensive squads held the other's offense. The Dragons cracked, first under pressure when Tomko stole the ball and tied it 51-51 with 28 seconds left. The Dragons threatened to come up with the last basket and win by two, but Greg Bright saved the day with a last second steal. The Panthers recovery was the fifth time this season that they pulled up from way behind to either win or send a game into overtime. On Friday they outscored the Dragons 17-8 in the final quarter. The Panthers were slow to score in overtime. Slightly out played in the extra period they lost 57-54. Gary Leake !ed the RCHS Cagers with 20 points and ten rebounds. The Panther’s play was flowing smoothly by the third quarter and they cut the Rams’ margin from 12 to 4 in three minutes. Rappahannock’s passing game began to shine and the Panthers put the Rams into foul trouble. Near the end of the quarter, RCHS cut within one on a Jimmy Tomko shot from the free throw line to bring the score to 51-50. The Panthers looked for a while like they might pull out another come-from-behind victory but Strasburg was just a little bit too fast and hung on to win, 75-70. Gary Leake broke his second scoring record of the season at Tuesday’s game. He tallied 26 points, enough for an average of 20 points per game, highest ever at RCHS. He also was high in the contest with Strasburg with his 26 points and nine rebounds. General District Court vv much n n omooi. sper ryvme, reckless driving, accident $50 tine $18 costs Henry F.
