Rappahannock Point-to-Point Races Scheduled Saturday The Rappahannock pointto-point races will be run this Saturday, March 1, over the beautiful, rolling course at J. W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm two miles south of Sperryville on Route 522. Beginning at 11 a.m., the 10-race card offers a full day of exciting steeplechase racing. Events start with the pair races, which this year include races for fast time and for optimum time. The last event is the famous Hound Race which draws 50-100 of Virginia’s top foxhounds in a spirited drag race. This event, always a favorite, has traditionally symbolized the special flavor of the Rappahannock Point-to-Points. Featured races are the Ben Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson DR. R. S. LeGARDE, health department director for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, has been given special authorization by Gov. John Dalton and the head of the Virginia Health Department to continue in his job past mandatory retirement age. LeGarde To Stay On Past Retirement Age The usually inflexible state bureaucracy has bent a little and will allow Dr. R. S. LeGarde, regional health department director, to stay at his post after he reaches mandatory retirement age. LeGarde, who turns 70 in May, is highly regarded in the counties he serves, judging from laudatory letters of support sent by five boards of supervisors in pressing for a retirement age waiver. Governor John Dalton personally approved an extension for LeGarde until June 30 at full status and until December 31 in an advisory capacity, according to Dr. James B. Kenley, head of the state health department. If an adequate replacement is not found, LeGarde may stay on the job indefinitely. "I’m officially retired as of July 1 but I’ll be available until my successor is found,” said LeGarde last week. "Right now, that might not be the easiest thing to arrange." He noted that interviews for his replacement as health department director are currently being conducted in Richmond. Any candidate selected will have to gain the approval of local government in all five counties in the district—Rappahannock, Orange, Madison, Culpeper and Fauquier. No one will be hired without those approvals, LeGarde emphasized. Even after a new director is found, “I’ll continue to do some clinical work,” LeGarde said. The doctor conducts routine monthly clinics in Orange, Fauquier and Rappahannock and special clinics in Culpeper and Madison. Usually, regional health department directors are more desk-bound than LeGarde. "Most directors just aren’t interested in holding clinics,” Rappahannock’s public health nurse, Frances Thornton, said. In Rappahannock, LeGarde provides special services to the schools in addition to running a Medicaid screening clinic, family planning clinic and cancer detection clinic every (Continued on Page 3) Venue for the Seven Corners Owner-Rider Trophy; the Durant Hill hurdle race for non-winners under the rules; the New Mount Marshall for foxhunters; and the Juniors Race (with separate divisons for horses and ponies) for riders under 16 years of age.

Teachers Ask For 18 Per Cent Jump By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Representatives from the Rappahannock Educational Association presented their budget requests for 1980-81 to the school board Tuesday night, asking for improved facilities at the elementary and high school, provision of some fringe benefits and a salary increase of 18 per cent. The proposed scale ups a starting teacher’s slary from $9,500 to $11,200 with a $300 step increase for each year of experience up to a maximum of $16,000 for 20 years. The salary proposal also calls for a jump in the bonuses paid teachers with a master’s degree or hours toward that degree and increases in the extra-curricular pay schedule. RCEA salary committee chairman Susan Henry explained that county teachers have been behind inflation since 1975 and have lost $3,365 in buying power over the last five years. ‘‘Even with the 18 per cent, we won’t catch up with cost of living increases,” she said. She attributed the high teacher turn-over rate here—43 per cent last year—primarily to Rappahannock’s non-competitive slaries. According to Mrs. Henry, 44 per cent of the county’s public school teachers are non-tenured with less than three years experience. “I'm not being critical of first year teachers. I’ve been there myself. But it takes from three to six years before a teacher begins to be really effective.” Because of the high turnover rate, there’s no continuity of programs and the educational process suffers, with the students the real losers, according to the seventh grade history teacher who’s taught in the Rappahannock system for five years. “We need to attempt to stop being a training ground for new teachers,” Mrs. Henry concluded. $200,000 Available ‘‘Where do we get the money?” asked Wally Sherertz, director of Uniserv, an organization that provides area educators with support and advice and serves as liaison between county Landfill Added To By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock >**w* Staff 1 rit**r Rappahannock’s trash problems came up again last week, this time during discussion of the county’s first comprehensive plan at the planning commission’s meeting Wednesday. "There’s one thing we’ve gone way around to steer clear of and that’s a landfill,” said planner E. P. Luke during a review of the comprehensive plan draft chapter on future needs for public facilities. "It seems to me that it's a county planning matter,’’ he said, proposing that some mention of a landfill be included in the comprehensive plan. Solid waste disposal is currently managed through “green boxes,’’ dumpsters supplied by Community Trash Service. Under contract with the county, the company empties the dumpsters at a privately leased landfill in Woodville. Luke noted that the landfill is licensed to operate for only two more years. Then, he said, the trash contractors will have to find another way to dispose of wastes and if they can’t, the problem is dumped in the county’s lap. “It’s a problem nobody wants to deal with. Everybody hopes to hell it will go away but it won’t,” Luke said, noting that the county is required by law to provide a landfill. “We didn’t avoid it (in the $8,000 For Fire Alarms Approved At last Tuesday’s special session, the Rappahannock school board backed down from an earlier decision to ask the supervisors for additional funds for fire alarm systems at the elementary and high schools. Instead, the board members agreed to use over $8,000 appropriated for capital outlay and maintenance to repair and install the alarms. Both the state fire marshal and the insurance company that provides fire coverage on the buildings have described the elementary school’s system as totally inadequate. The school currently uses bells for a fire alarm, the same bells that can be set off only from the main office and that also signal lunch, class changes and dismissal at the close of the school day. The high school has a fire alarm system which meets state specifications but is inoperable due to vandalism that has short circuited wiring for the buzzer alarms. The bid from Standard Electric Time accepted by the board last Tuesday estimates repairs to the high school sytfem at $1,663 including labor if the present wiring can be reused. Standard's bid for in stalling a complete system at the elementary school was $6,388. If the board spends $8,000 for fire alarm systems, Robert Eastham asked, will fire drills be held as specified by state law? Superintendent William Bloomer acknowledged that fire drills aren’t held in Rappahannock school as often as regulations require. He noted that drills are supposed to be conducted at least once a week during the first month of school and then at least once a month for the rest of the term. While attending classes recently at the high school. Eastham continued, he found one of the doors intended as a fire exit padlocked with a chain. He demanded to know why the door wasn’t opened when directional arrows from several classrooms indicated it should be used in case of fire. Bloomer replied that it is standard practice in most school divisions to regularly hold fire drills with some exit doors locked. No one can predict where a fire will break out, he said, and no matter where a blaze occurs, it will probably block at least one fire exit. Holding drills with doors locked gives teachers and students practice in making adjustments so they can react in time should a real emergency happen, Bloomer explained. East ham replied that the assistant principal indicated the door should have been unlocked. Pane Broken Out “Do you want to know why it was locked?” interjected vocational education teacher "Skip” Ford. He reported that vandals nad broken the window out of the door two months ago. The pane of glass hasn’t yet been replaced, he said, allowing anyone to reach a hand through and open the door from the inside. Since this entrance at the rear of the school in the vocational education wing can’t be locked, it is kept chained. Ford said, adding that several other doors in the school are also broken. Raising his voice to a shout, Eastham repeated that the assistant principal hadn’t known the door was locked and had charged school personnel responsible for seeing the door was opened with not doing their job. This omission, Eastham shouted, could have caused the deaths (Contimy^d on Page 8) comprehensive plan). We just forgot it,” responded Newbill Miller. He suggested adding a landfill to the list of capital improvement needs with the notation that it will be required within two years. Planner Walter Masterson interjected that the supervisors will have to resolve the problem of how to provide a county dump. "I hoped the planning commission would do some * scouting around and come up with some ideas,” said Luke who also serves as chairman of the county supervisors. “The planning commission has already done some scouting,” Masterson replied. But, Luke countered, the planners taye presented no formal recommendations. Soils Suitable Along 729 “Look at the soil type map,” Masterson said.On the basis of soil types, there are only a few places in the county wherey a landfill can be located, he added, noting the only strip of suitable soil runs from Huntly down Route 729 towards Castleton. That strip covers a high percentage of the county’s good agricultural land, said (Continued on Page 3) associations and the Virginia Education Association. With the lowest true tax rate in the state, Rappahannock County does have the ability to support a tax increase to fund education needs, according to Sherertz. He noted that the next lowest tax rate in Virginia is almost double what Rappahannock’s is. “So there’s probably some room there if it’s necessary but I’m not at all sure it will be.” First, said Sherertz, the 1980-81 budget approved by the State Department of Education calls for a 35 percent increase to the county in basic aid. He acknowledged that the state department’s proposal has not yet been approved by the General Assembly and is a long way away from the Governor’s budget proposal which entails an increase of only 5 per cent for Rappahannock. Sherertz noted, however, that the Assembly “found” S60 million last week to add to basic aid for education. “Let’s hope they find more,” he added. Even without increased revenue from the state, Rappahannock should be able to fund its schools at a higher level without raising property taxes, Sherertz continued. The last financial audit “shows an excess of $200,000 available for appropriation.” he stated. The county audit has shown budget surpluses of the same magnitude for the past several years, Sherertz said. If the requests from the teachers are funded in foil, he said, only half this unappropriated surplus accumulated by the supervisors will be exhausted. “So it’s perfectly conceivable that the county won’t have to look anywhere else for funds,” he added. 95 Per Cent Jump In Income Sherertz stated that he’d heard the argument about everyone—not just teachers—hurting from inflation. “But we’re not all hurting equally,” he said. He cited figures supplied by the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission that show the median income in Rappahannock increased from around $7,000 to more than $14,000—a jump of 95 per cent—between 1974 and 1979. During the same five years, teachers’ salaries in the county improved by only 39 per cent while the cost of living climbed 50 per cent, according to Sherertz. "So lots of people in this county are staying ahead of inflation,” he pointed out. If money to fund teacher budget requests is not available without a tax increase, the school board should consider going to the supervisors to ask for such an increase, Sherertz maintained. "I appeal to you to make your request to the supervisors based on need—not on presumed ability or on what you think the supervisors will approve,’’ he said, to the board members. Sherertz concluded by noting that out of 135 school districts in Virginia, Rappahannock is ranked seventh in local ability to pay for education and 93rd in effort. No Room At The Schools “Skip" Ford, vocational (Continued on Page 2) Proposed Welfare Budget Down 2% By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ra|»l»ahaimock Nrwn Staff I ritfr The Rappahannock welfare board voted unanimous approval on Friday to a proposed social services budget for 1980-81 that totals $5,000 less than the current year’s, a drop of slightly more than two percent. Proposed expenditures for the fiscal year that begins on July 1 add up to $175,068. Appropriations for the year ending June 30 total $180,070. Local funds needed to support the proposed budget show a slight increase. however. Last year, the supervisors appropriated $36,137 in local money for welfare department services. This year’s budget calls for $38,544—an increase of approximately 6 per cent. The additional local funds are required for services to children, social services director Elizabeth Buntin explained. She told the welfare board that children supported by payments from Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) foster care (funded with 50 per cent state money and 50 per cent federal) will soon be (Continued on Page 3) _RgnpahiMiifl News Pkolo/D Hiitchiuoo RAPPAHANNOCK WOMEN’S CLUB MEMBERS Peggy Settle, Nancy Reeve, Pat Giles and Barbara O’Bryne go over plans for the forth coining spring fashion show scheduled for Sunday, March 23.

Teachers Ask For Jump (Continued from Page 1) education instructor at RCHS and RCEA committee chairman on instructional needs, painted a grim picture of conditions in Rappahannock's public schools. According to Ford, the high school has a dire need for additional space—space for a clinic, for storage, for proper cafeteria facilities, bathrooms, classrooms, the library, auditorium, parking. “There's no clinic ...The home ec room serves as a clinic. Mrs. Wood has very little room now to teach sewing, cooking and whatever else she has to do...There's no auditorium. The gym serves as an auditorium...The seating capacity will not even take the full school enrollment. “The biology room is too small...It has no running water, no gas,” Ford said, maintaining that the instructor cannot properly teach his class without these basic necessities. "We can only seat 90 people in the cafeteria. We might be able to SERVE 400 but we’ve got seats for only 90,” Ford noted. He said the school is currently split into two 45minute lunch periods with 200 students eating at a time in study hall, classes, outside wherever they can find a spot to sit down. Many youngsters don't have time to finish lunch after they waited in line and then had to hunt for a place to eat. according to Ford. Kitchen equipment, he said. is also totally inadequate and in need of repairs constantly. ‘‘The library is too small...There's no office for the librarian,” said Ford, adding that Mrs. Moffett has no place to store audio visual equipment since the guidance counselor must use the audio visual room for his office. ‘‘Storage in the whole building is totally inadequate,” Ford went on, reporting that books and athletic equipment, cleaning materials and shop supplies are stored in the office, in the barn intended for a tractor, in halls and classrooms. “There’s one teacher who roams around the halls because he has no desk...He carries his desk in his brief case,” said Ford, noting that lack of space prevents from teachers efficiently using their planning periods. "The office is too small. The secretary has to be a Girl Friday...She has a Fibber McGee closet. 1 don’t see how she finds anything in there,” he said.

"We have 460 kids and only two restrooms. The boys’ is always in a shambles. The teachers try to maintain it but it’s inadequate...Parking is inadequate, particularly for graduation, plays and athletic events. People have to park out on Route 211. It’s a wonder we haven’t had a major accident,” Ford noted. He reported that Rappahannock's total school population has increased 60 pvi win wiu mi paji tv years while the high school, built originally for 288 students now serves 460. Rappahannock schools have personnel and program needs in addition to serious space requirements, according to Ford. An in-school suspension program, similar to one in Orange County funded with Law Enforcement Assistance Administration funds, should be considered for Rappahannock as part of meeting the state mandate for alternative education,. Ford maintained. He reported that local representatives on the Planning District’s Criminal Justice Advisory Council are currently investigating possibilities that Rappahannock may be able to secure LEAA money for an in-school suspension program here. “We need a nurse at both schools.” Ford continued, noting that elementary students on prescription drugs now have to take their dosages without any trained supervision. The elementary school has a single physical education teacher who must handle classes with as many as 60 students. Ford noted that there’s no phys ed program at all for kindergarten classes and only a half-time program for first graders due to insufficient personnel. On behalf of the RCEA, Ford called for a special education coordinator. With the current program fdr learning disabled students, “the special ed teacher tries to handle part of it, the . s is ant superintendent tries to handle part of it, the secretary at the elementary school tries to handle part of it—there’s no coordination,” Ford said. In addition, he noted, Piedmont regional school will discontinue its LD classes next year and local students currently attending there will have to be served in Rappahannock. Ford said an additional secretary is needed at the high school to help in the central office, guidance and libary. He noted that students are currently providing a little relief by picking up some of the typing work. WWII Slides “We need increased funds for learning aids. For example, my slides in shop are World War 11 slides donated by the Army. That’s as current as we are today in Rappahannock” he added.

The music teacher does an excellent job, Ford told the board, despite having to run back and forth between schools and between rooms at the elementary school, pushing her materials around on a wheeled cart. A music room is a major need at the elementary school, he said. He acknowledged that the space problems at the elementary school are not currently as serious as those at the high school. “It’s not as bad yet but it will worsen," he predicted. Ahead of Only J Percent “We need to become competitive with someone," stated Don Bomberger, chairman of the RCEA benefits committee, in asking the Rappahannock board to consider providing at least some fringe benefits to county teachers. As of the 1979-80 school year, 128 school divisions out of 135 in Virginia paid all or part of the premium for some insurance program for 98.06 per cent of the state’s teachers, according to Bomberger. Rappahannock's faculty falls into the two per cent who receive no benefits. Premiums on the mandatory life insurance are paid by 102 school divisions. The state requires all teachers to carry this policy no matter what other life insurance protection they may already have. Bomberger said he’d heard that Rappahannock's school board will consider paying premiums on the mandatory policy only if teachers make the school board the beneficiary of the policy. The RCEA ranked benefits in order of priority as mandatory life insurance first, full premiums for health insurance second, paid local retirement plan third and dental insurance fourth. Bomberger noted that 119 out of 135 Virginia school divisions pay part or all of health insurance premiums for teachers While seven divisions provide paid local retirement in addition to the state’s supplemental retirement. Provision of benefits will make teacher recruitment easier, Bomberger maintained. Rappahannock currently ranks 84th out of 135 divisions in starting salary, 116th when benefits are included as a part of toal salary and 124rd if the maximum salaries in the divisions with lower starting salaries are taken into account. Seven With No Benefits "Only six other systems in the state offer no benefits but three of them have salaries larger than ours,” Bomberger pointed out. The three systems besides Rappahannock with no benefits and which pay less in salary are so small that they employ only 0.8 per cent of the state’s teaching force. ‘‘Rappahannock County cannot compete with school systems offering more to over 99 per cent of the teachers in Virginia,” he concluded. Sharon Kilpatrick also criticized the lack of space and programs, particularly at the high school.She described the cafeteria, kitchen, library and RCHS curriculum as “entirely inadequate” and noted that ‘‘very little is happening" with the capital outlay program currently under consideration by the school board. She urged the board to provide more vocational education at RCHS instead of relying so heavily on Piedmont. The regional school is moving in the direction of three-year programs but, she said, (Continued on Page 4) —Rappahannock New* Photo/Sean Kilpatrick BASKETBALL COACH LOGAN IN THE MIDST of his team during a recent game which secured a place for the Panthers in the Skyline District tournament.

They had won nine games in a season and went beyond the first round of the Skyline tournament, defeating the Luray Bulldogs in overtime, 54-53. The Panthers looked doomed in the first quarter against, a strong Luray team when they were down after a minute and a half, 0-6. Greg Bright put Rappahannock on the scoreboard after two minutes, but the Panthers lacked drive in shooting and trailed 8-18 at the end of the quarter. In the second period the Panthers had gained confidence and with the combined shooting power of Gary Leake and Jimmy Tomko and the iron defense 6f the team. Luray was held scoreless for four minutes. Rappahannock climbed to within four points and held the margin for the rest of the quarter with a 20-24 halftime score. The Panthers lost their composure in the third and began turning the ball over on careless passes and failed to control the rebounding. The Bulldogs, veterans of the tournament, held the Panthers off for three minutes and took a ten-point lead, 30-20. With Greg Bright’s rebounding finesse and drives for baskets, the Rapps went into the final quarter down, 33-39. The Panthers were a different team in the fourth quarter — they seemed errorless, me scoring tnreat of Gary Leake and Greg Bright’s rebounding pulled the Panthers to within one. 44-45 halfway through the quarter. Gary Leake, two minutes later, put Rappahannock up for the first time in the game, 46-45. Coach Logan’s strategy kept Luray from regaining the lead, but with thirty seconds left, Luray was at the foul line with the Panthers up one, 48-47. The Bulldogs made only one and tied the game to send it into overtime. The Panthers were nervous as Luray edged out, but Dean Wilson’s shot boosted their spirits and Gary Leake followed with a basket to bring the score to 53-52 favoring Luray.

Welfare Budget Down (Continued from Page 1) moved to the regular foster care category (funded SO per cent with local money and 50 per cent state). The change in category, she said, will come Vhen the foster parents adopt their youngsters under a state approved subsidized adoption program. The subsidized program is designed to help foster parents who can’t afford the support their charges without some continued aid. The seven children involved have lieved in the homes for years, Mrs. Buntin said, and feel a part of their respective families but the families can’t afford to adopt them if it means giving up all financial assistance they’ve recived as foster parents.

"But the subsidy can’t be paid out of ADC foster care funds. It has to come from regular foster care,” a category with 50 per cent local funds as opposed to no local funds. Administrative salaries also show a slight increase of approximately three per cent, going from $83,151 in the current fiscal year to $86,143 in the proposed budget. Mrs. Buntin attributed the increases to meeting the locally adopted salary plan. She noted that the state’s decision to eliminate the bottom step of the scale while adding an additional step at the top had affected administrative costs here in that the Rappahannock Welfare Board had moved each employee up one notch on the new scale to keep up with inflation. Mrs. Buntin told her board members that she wasn’t yet prepared to submit the proposed social services budget to the supervisors. She explained that the auditor’s tally on last year’s welfare cost doesn’t agree with her figures. The auditor shows total expenditures for the year ended June 30, 1979, as $123,694.25. “Our records show we spent approximately $2,100 more than he said we did,” Mrs. Buntin noted.

Le Garde (Continued from Page 1) month. “The schools weren’t prepared for all the new mandates from the General Assembly. I’ve tried to help with services for special educaton, athletics and other programs,’’ LeGarde said. “We take the mountain to Mohammed here,” joked nurse Thornton, explaining that Dr. LeGarde had just returned from the elementary school where he gave checkups to students planning to compete in the special Olympics. In a letter to the state health department director, supervisor chairman E. P. Luke showered compliments on LeGarde on behalf of the county. Calling for Dr. LeGarde to stay in his present position for an extended period of time, Luke said he has been “very cooperative and extremely competent in dealing with health and sanitation problems in Rappahannock County.” Luke maintained that the state as well as the planning district counties “can benefit from his experience, understanding and cooperation in solving health related problems” and described LeGarde as “a good manager, doctor, and expert health and sanitation official.” Dr. LeGarde thinks as highly of Rappahannock as the county thinks of him. “This is a pleasant and cooperative community. My associations here have been happy and rewarding. I trust my services have been as helpful and adequate as the means allow,” he said. “Our relationships with the other agencies in this county have been absolutely perfect. I can’t always say that about some of the other counties. Here, everything has been fruitful and friendly,” LeGarde concluded. LeGarde began work with the health department here in January, 1957, after conducting a private medical practice in Washington County, Virginia, for 20 years. Originally intending to be a Presbyterian minister, LeGarde attended King College in Bristol. He and his wife, Ann, have one son, John, a psychologist with the North Carolina Department of Health.

He told the planners that the supervisors don’t want to exercise powers of eminent domain to condemn property for a landfill site but added this step might become necessary. John Capelle, executive director the RappahannockRapid an Planning District Commission, agreed to add the landfill to the list of future facility needs compiled by other county agencies. The planners also tentatively endorsed a map presented by Capelle showing future land use trends in the county. “This shows in visual form what’s in the comprehensive plan,” Capelle explained. The map indicates agricultural, conservation and village areas. At the insistence of the planners, Capelle agreed to add a note to the map, emphasizing that the areas colored in as villages indicate only where housing is most dense and not official village boundaries. The planners made one change to the draft chapter on implementation of the comprehensive plan. The plan calls for strip development between villages and along the major highways to be discouraged. An exception has to be made, however, to the area between Washington and Sperryville on Route 211 that is already developed, according to Capelle. Either the county has to discourage continuance of this mix of ac ByRAPOWINGS VPI fcxtrnftion Agrat Agriculture The Northern Virginia Forage Conference will meet next Thursday, March 6 at the Middleburg Community Center.

Planner Dave Fannon objected to calling for strip development along the entire length of road between Washington and Sperryville. Instead, the planners agreed to encourage development only from the town of Washington along Route 211 to Route 622 east, the Shade Road. Community Meetings The draft of the comprehensive plan approved chapter by chapter over the past few months will be presented at public meetings in April to residents of the various communities. A tentative schedule okayed by the planners sets meetings at the following locations: —Chester Gap, fire hall, April 7. —Washington, courthouse, April 8. —Flint Hill, fire hall, April 9. —Sperryville, fire hall, April 10. — Woodville, Mount Lebanon Baptist Church, April 11. —Amissville, fire hall, April 14. Should the damage from the recent fire prevent meeting at the Amissville fire nail, the planners agreed either to hold the session there in a local church or combine that meeting with a meeting in another com-* munity.

The deposit should be sufficient to make sure the buyer will have good reason to see the transaction through and to reimburse the seller for taking the property off the market and other incidental expenses in case the buyer defaults. ,The length of time from signing the agreement to the date of transfer may have a bearing on the amount of deposit, i.e., an agreement calling for performance in 90 days, for example, should require a substantial deposit; a 30 day agreement might call for less. Even in the latter case, however, a 30 day agreement due to unforeseen circumstances may have to be extended and actually result in a 60 or 90 day agreement. The term “deposit” as used above is to be distinguished from “earnest money” which is a relatively small payment intended to bind a sale until a formal agreement can be written.

Mon -Fri Published bv Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company. Inc Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation ✓ i THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28,1%0 Enforcement Tool Next Wednesday evening, March 5, the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will consider two ordinances aimed at controlling illegal road hunting. One. if passed will make it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun while walking on a public right-of-way without written permission from landowners on both sides of the road. The second ordinance prohibits carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun while in a motor vehicle on a public right-of-way. The proposed ordinances are not gun control laws. They do not seek to prohibit guns. They prohibit instead carrying ammunition in the chamber of the gun and that only while the gun is in clearly specified locations. Most sportsmen are familiar with the National Rifle Association and its unbending opposition to anything that smacks of gun control. Proposing gun control to the NR A is like waving a red flag in front of a bull. It stands to reason then that if the NRA is behind legislation that relates to guns, the legislation can’t be interpreted as gun control. The NRA supports the type of ordinance proposed for Rappahannock In its ten commandments of hunter safety, the NRA includes a prohibition against carrying loaded rifles and shotguns in a motor vehicle. The NRA doesn’t think loaded rifles belong in pick-ups for safety reasons. As it has been so aptly described, the practice “is an accident waiting to happen.” The ordinances that the supervisors will consider on Wednesday aren’t even hunter control laws. Individuals who shoot from the road onto posted property aren’t hunters. Supervisors H. B. Wood has called them bandits. The name fits. If legU’mate hunters and sportsmen opposed to these ordinances will sit back and think a minute, they might see the benefits that the new laws may bring to them. More and more land in Rappahannock County is being closed to hunters. This trend is the direct result of abuses by a few individuals with utter disregard for the law. Eliminate the bandits and the “Posted—No Hunting” signs will begin to come down off trees and fences. Ordinances like those proposed for adoption in Rappahannock have been in effect for several years in Culpeper, Fauquier and Loudoun Counties. Game wardens there acknowledge that illegal road hunting wasn’t eliminated with passage of the new laws but it has been reduced significantly. We're not claiming that the ordinances are the complete answer but they’re a beginning. With their adoption, our game warden will have a more effective tool to enforce the game laws of the Commonwealth in Rappahannock County. Girl Scout Cookie Sales Begin March 7 campaign of Girl Scouts, the annual cookie sale, will begin soon all over the country, and Rappahannock Girl Scouts will begin taking orders for cookies March 7. After baking their own cookies for many years, in the fall of 1933 the Girl Scouts had another idea. Armed with recipes furnished by adult volunteers, the Commissioner of a large metropolitan Girl Scout Council approached the president of a baking company and succeeded in getting the company to prepare and package the Girl Scout cookies, vanilla, in the shape of the scout insignia, the trefoil. They were of the highest quality possible, and the good tasting cookies for a good causer caught on quickly with the public and made the sale a success. Today Rappahannock Girl Scouts are carrying on that tradition with their cookie sale which begins next week. Just as in 1933, the Girl Scouts insist on only the highest quality cookies, and though several delicious new cookies have joined the original vanilla trefoil, the sale is still the main fund raiser for one of America’s youth groups, the Girl Scouts. While personal contact is the main idea, if yoif are not seen by a Girl Scout you may place your cookie order by calling on one of these Troop Cookie Chairmen: Troop 312, Kathryn Sherwood, 364 1173; Troop 929, Linda Hitt, 987-8729; Troop 547. Ruth Eastham, 675-3257; Troop 955, Elsie Gheen 937-5267; Troop 502, Chris Eidson, 937-5432; Troop .380, Sharon Kilpatrick, 987-8252 or County Chairman, Mary Stuart Bain at 987-8656.

Hutchinson THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY WAS VISITED earlier this month by the Rappahannock News reporter and family who conferred with Delegate George Beard and Senator Nathan Miller, as well as others. In the right background Delegate Beard can be seen. Delegate’s Report By GEORGE BEARD Last week was a pistol! The workload was so heavy we had to work night and day, though the weekend until 7 p.m. Sunday. It was real pleasant walking to work on Sunday. No traffic to speak of and you could look up and down the side streets without fear of being run over. Saw more beautiful buildings on those streets that I didn’t even know were there. Could walk around corners without fear of a “Joggemaut” ramming your pipe down your throat. They must be like horses, they don’t run on Sundays. I even saw birds, fluttering down on the street and sidewalks, as if they had discovered new territory. Speaking of birds, I saw a big, fat robin perched on a limb in front of the Governor’s house. Always heard they like to be where it is warmer. Right about now that house is about the warmest spot in Virginia, what with the gas tax coming up tomorrow, the budget, funding House Bill 599, etc. Based on the result of my survey, which this paper was so kind as to run, a great majority favor a two cents per gallon, excluding Metro and nothing else. I plan to vote in this direction. There were a few who wrote for four cents, some with no increase at this lime. Well, the budget was approved today by the House and is now on its way to the Senate. The Senate always comes up with changes so we won’t know the final outcome until the last day of the Session, March 8. The House approved a budget of $11.5 billion with very little funds for State growth. In my opinion there shouldn’t have been any. It’s too big now, the only way we will get any kind of a food tax relief is to cut back on spending. Some things you cannot do without and they are as follows: A $70 million increase for education, $881,000 for Mental Health for local community service boards, $4.5 million for substance abuse programs, $736,000 for Homes for Adults, funds for 96 additional State Troopers, $850,000 for delinquency programs, a $187 million reduction for the Department of Highways, unless a gas tax is approved and minor appropriations for other smaller programs. Enough on the budget; now for some bills. The Senate is quite upset over a House rule to limit postage spending to $100 when the General Assembly is ir session. Mine is way belov that, but pardon the pun, the Senate really goes into orbi when the House gives them i “lickin”. Of all things, a bill cam out of the Senate to allo\ poultry haulers the privileg of not covering their chicken when they are being haule in a truck. Claims tha canvas smothers th chickens. Better make sur your windshield washers are working. Don’t you know that the bill to remove tax from alcohol failed in the House in the morning, was brought back in the afternoon and passed by six votes and is now on the way to the Senate. A veteran Senator told me last night it will not make it out of their committee in the Senate. A Senate bill to raise requirements from $2500 to $5000 on sealed bids for local government projects is now on its way to the Governor. My bill to excuse Sheriffs from having to qualify on small estates for the benefit of creditors passed a Senate committee today and is now on its way to the Senate. Another one of my bills requested by "Hot” Tinsley of Madison, to fix a Class 2 midemeanor on any vandals Beard caught opening the valves on fire hydrants, is also through a Senate committee and on the way to the Senate. Eight of 23 community colleges, including Germanna, received funds to restore teaching positions. Tomorrow I plan to put in another amendment in the Senate to request the two missing positions at Germanna. The House allowed two, but we need four. Having a hard time trying to convince these people down here that “we wuz robbed”. Next week we will be voting in Committee and on the Floor on Senate bills and they will be doing the same on House bills. When we finish this time, it will be up to the Governor to sign or veto. Looks like a lot of bills on both sides will be carried over bills until 1981. Not good enough to pass or bad enough to kill. About half of them will not make it through the summer. If you see a fat robin around our District please let me know. I think one of my counties has seen one. See you next week.

Mrs. Kilpatrick noted the improvement in math on RCHS college board scores which she described as “distressingly low” overall. The scores are higher, she said, because they reflect of the performance of the 10th graders, the first class to be allowed to take algebra as eighth graders as is the practice in other school divisions. She predicted that English scores would also go up if RCHS provides college bound English courses beginning in the eighth grade. “But as inadequate as our facilities are, the biggest problem we have is teacher turn-over," Mrs. Kilpatrick maintained. The educational system suffers, she said, due to the high percentage of first and second year teachers. She blamed the high turnover here on a combination of factors, partially the difficulty of finding housing in the county and the increased cost of commuting from neighboring counties but primarily on low salaries. Starting slaries in Rappahannock are competitive with adjoining divisions, she said, but begin to drop behind' in the fourth year “We need to improve the top end of the scale,” Mrs Kilpatrick maintained. ! She also proposed coor t dination of a paren i volunteer program similar t« Culpeper County’s and askee • the board to consider a year / round student activity bus : She acknowledged that thi 5 school sytem’s gas supplie 1 are tight but added that "i t the goal of all this con e servation is to reduce thi e country’s dependence oi foreign oil, then saving your gas so we have to spend our gas doesn't work.” Mrs. Kilpatrick also voiced support for soccer as a fall sport for boys and winter gymnastics for girls. WM* Support For Soccer « Bob Haase also requested that soccer be instituted as a varsity sport at the high school. He told the school board members that the Rappahannock Recreational Authority, an official arm of local government, has resolved to support a soccer program. A former college soccer player, Haase pledged his services as an aide to help with practices. "Ned Johnson from the Panther Athletic league has indicated support for developing the infield of the track for a soccer field," Haase said. In addition, he noted that Don Keithley, sponsor of a county soccer team that competed last year in Fauquier’s recreational league, has repeatedly offered assistance in providing equipment, including goal posts, balls and shin guards. For the past two years, Keithley has operated a fall soccer program for county youngsters aged six through 18 under the auspices of the Rappahannock Athletic Association. Haase said that other parents and citizens in the community have also promised support in fund raising efforts for soccer equipment and uniforms. Interest has been shown by youngsters, he continued, both by those who participated in the RAA » program and by players on 1 the team sponsored by the Keithley’s Old Hollow Grovery. : Haase reported that kids > have circulated petitions and f gathered signatures from high school and sixth and 5 seventh grade students, i indicating an interest in The Little Fox participating tn soccer. He promised to get the petitions ;o the school board members ps soon as possible. In conclusion, he told the board that Tom Von Fange, FCHS industrial arts teacher, is willing to 'cohsider being the soccer coach. Chance To Try Youngsters added their pleas to Haase’s. “Right now, we have only one fall sport for boys—cross country—and not too many people are interested in that,” said Aaron Schumaker. “We already have most of the equipment for soccer and a lot of people are willing to donate money.” “There are a lot of kids who want to play. They’re pretty good at it and they ought to have the chance to try,” Bobby Baines maintained. “I’m doing track right now but I’d rather have soccer,” Scott Keithley added. Mike Hubbard, Flint Hill lawyer and former college soccer player who played on the Old Hollow team last year, agreed with Haase that the kids in the RAA program and those who participated in the Fauquier league showed a lot of promise and en thusiasm. it s a sport tnat s gaining in popularity...A lot of kids can play. You don’t have to be 6 ft 5 or have the weight that football demands,” Hubbard said. Haase added that he would serve on a committee to investigate the cost of beginning a soccer program at RCHS, providing training for coaches or preparing a field to play on. As the final speaker at the budget input session, Tom Von Fange told the school board that his industrial arts students were building weight lifting equipment. “But there’s no place to lift weights,’’ he added.

Bailey Rlxeyvtlle, Virginia " Terms: Cash LUnch Served Auctioneer Tom Reese COL TOM W PFFSF Dangers In Nuclear Power Stressed Rappahannock may soon have its own anti-nuke group, judging by audience reaction to last Wednesday’s program on the dangers inherent with nuclear power. Those who viewed the NBC documentary at the Washington community center on disposal of nuclear wastes voiced two reactions—fear and anger. Anger at what the utilities and government are allowing to happen and fear at what it may mean to this and future generations. Organized by Dr. Donal Day, assistant physics professor at UVa and member of the Piedmont Alliance for Safe Energy ;PASE), the program emphasized the failure of industry and government to avoid fthe perils in disposing of nuclear waste. According to the film, at an Atlantic Richfield facility built in 1940, nuclear wastes with a radioactive life of 700 years are stored in huge underground tanks that will last only 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of radioactive water leaked from one of these tanks before a hole was discovered and sealed. Since then, there have been 19 more leaks. Concerned scientists are worried that the contaminated water may find its way through the underground water table to the nearby Colorado River and from there into the Pacific Ocean with disastrous effects on the environment. It is conceivable that this one storage facility may leak radioactive wastes with such a high concentration that all Menu RCHS & RCES March 3*7 Monday Hot dog on bun, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, apple pie, milk.

Mrs. Brown, 93, widow of Luther Alfred Brown, died Monday, February 25, 1980, at Mountain View Nursing Home at Aroda. A native of Culpeper, she was the daughter of the late Jerry and Ida Dulin Shotwell. She was a member of Etlan United Methodist Church. She ds survived by a daughter, Mrs. Esther A. Allen of Fredericksburg; two grandsons, George Alfred Beatley of Fredericksburg and Thomas Grimsley Brown of Sperryville; and eight great-grandchildren. the water in the world won't be able to dilute it to a safe level, according to the documentary. The NBC film used operating practices at a New York plant run by Getty Oil to illustrate the indifference of industry to dangers posed by working with nuclear power. The plant, now closed, reprocessed spent fuel rods from nuclear reactors. In running the plant, transient workers were exposed to dangerously high doses of radiation, absorbing in a few weeks the maximum dosage set by safety standards for an entire year. Questioned by an NBC reporter, a spokesman for the company explained that use of transitory workers for jobs that included exposure to dangerously high levels of radiation was standard practice designed to protect regular employees. The film noted that the government is currently exploring the possibility of using mines in the salt flats of Carlsbad, New Mexico, as permanent repositories for intermediate level nuclear wastes. No one yet knows the effect radioactive wastes will have on the water soluble salt, the documentary pointed out. The Carlsbad area is mined extensively for potash, a mineral used for fertilizer. One such mine adjoins the site of the proposed repository, posing a possible threat to fertilizer that is spread over farms all across the country.

A scientist interviewed on the film estimated that 32,000 additional cancer deaths will occur each year if the U. S. population is exposed to what the government has classified as a safe Repeatedly, the documentary emphasized that there is no evidence to support that any exposure to radiation, no matter how slight, is safe. Noting that increased radiation levels have been found in fish and wildlife, the narrator of the NBC documentary said the country is dealing with a threat that no one can see, taste or smell. As a result, many doubt its existence. The solution to where to put nuclear wastes is years away, according to the film. It’s been the custom in this country to delay action until a crisis occurs. With nuclear wastes, when the crisis occurs, it will be too late, the documentary concluded. In remarks after the film, Day called for concerned citizens to apply pressure on their elected representatives to study alternatives to nnclbar poWbr. “I’m not talking about a revolution. I’m talking about changing one aspect of our society—reliance on nuclear energy.” Day proposed redirecting the traditional approach to providing energy. Instead of large, centralized power producing plants, he favored Williams Funeral services for Mrs. Hester B. Williams of Remington were conducted Wednesday at the Providence Baptist Church, Remington, by the Rev. Tom Adams. Burial was in the family section of the Hollywood Cemetery.

BOARD OF ZONING , APPEALS FOR RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VIRGINIA By: Patty Alexander, Clerk 29mA Fire Alarm (Continued from Page 1) of students if a fire had occurred. With chairman Beverly Massie tapping on the table to restore order, Eastham turned back around in his seat. Asking for a motion to accept the bid on the fire alarms, she reminded the board members of the resolution adopted at the lanuarv meetino to act the supervisors for additional funds. “How much do we need from the supervisors? How much are we able to pay out of our current budget?" asked Charles Eldred. If money from the current budget is used, it will have to be taken from capital outlay for the elementary school's fire alarm and from maintenance for the high school's, according to Bloomer. "Fire alarms weren't included in the budget so we’ll have to take funds intended for other purposes.” he explained. “Fire alarms wren’t included in the budget so we'll have to take funds intended for other purposes,” he explained. Eastham noted that the entire amount appropriated for capital outlay— $16,315 — remained in the budget as of December. "What expenditures are expected during the balance of the year?” he asked. Bloomer answered that the capital outlay appropriation covered $8,000 for underground gasoline storage tanks to be put in at the site of the new school bus garage and $7,300 for track equipment. Mrs. Massie asked for a motion to take money for the alarms from capital outlay and maintenance slots. “I’d like a little more information on what we’re short-changing at the high school,” Eldred responded. "It’s going to pinch wherever you do it.” replied Bloomer. Mrs. Massie noted that Rappahannock might get additional funds from the state during the current school year and could use the money to replace the amount taken for the fire alarms. If the school budget runs short later, then the supervisors can be asked for an additional appropriation, Eastham added. The board voted unanimously to accept Standard’s bid for the alarm systems at both schools with payment to be made out of the existing budget. Gaa Tank Purchase To solve gas supply and storage problems, the board agreed to purchase a 275 gallon tank for unleaded gas used in cars assigned to driver education, the superintendent and assistant superintendent. With the added storage capacity, the 500-gallon high school tank now used for unleaded gas can be filled with leaded to supplement the 1,000 gallon tanks at the bus garage. According to school board member Walter Masterson, the transportation fleet currently uses about 250 gallons of leaded gas per day. The three vehicles using unleaded gas require approximately 25 gallons daily. “I think that’s excessive,” stated Masterson, in reference to the use of unleaded fuel. Bloomer explained that the schools needed additional gasoline storage capacity in order to avoid supply problems.

Masterson reported that the above ground tank will cost $108.75. In addition to the new tank, the board also approved an appropriation of approximately $375 for an electric pump. Make-up Work Acting on a recommendation from Eastham, the board agreed that students automatically suspended from school under the drug and alcohol policy will not be punished further by having points deducted from their grade average. Eastham’s motion stipulates that the suspension of a student in compliance with school board policy shall not alter the student’s previously qpmed grades in any manner. Bloomer noted that suspended students have the right to keep up with and turn in assignments. The school board will determine at its subsequent discipline hearing, however, if all work turned in will be counted for credit. The board also voted unanimously to adopt a policy change that stipulates prior approval must be obtained from the hoard before any gifts are accepted that will result in improvements to school property. In addition, the board must approve funding arrangements for paying for any gift from a student or student organization. Following a two-hour executive session, the board voted to release a teacher from contract, hire a new fifth grade teacher, approve two substitutes, appoint a legal advisor on a “property settlement” and authorize the chairman to “ask for clarification of correspondence with the attorney.” Also in executive session, the board conducted the1 scheduled evaluation of the superintendent and assistant superintendent but made no announcement regarding conclusions of that evaluation.
