VIRGINIA STATE library RICRSromJ IV jfir. 23219 Phone 675-33^ 20* Reassessment To Begin This Year By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newi Staff Writer At a special unannounced meeting Friday morning, the Rappahannock supervisors agreed to begin the state mandated reassessment of property at 100 per cent fair market value this year instead of waiting for the 1981 deadline. At the Friday morning session, supervisors E. P. Luke, Hubert Gilkey and Clarence Baldwin also decided to hire appraisers from the state department of taxation, estimated to cost a third of what a private assessing firm would charge. Reportedly, the head of the property tax division from the department, Fred Forberg, insisted that he needed a decision on using state personnel before March 31 in order to schedule his staff. Forberg estimated earlier that the reassessment will take a year with a cost of $1,800 per month. Rather than appointing a local board of assessors to work with the professional appraiser, the supervisors decided to have an equalization board review the figures before the new appraisals become final. In addition, the supervisors approved the computerization of all tax records and assessment data in the offices of commissioner of revenue and treasurer. A decision on adopting use value taxation was postponed pending further study and an examination of the impact 100 per cent assessment will have on the division of the county’s tax burden between land and house and lot. With the reassessment coming this year, tax bills in 1981 will reflect the new values. In addition to the three supervisors. Commonwealth Attorney Douglas Baumgardner, Commissioner of Revenue Merle Scoggin and Treasurer Frances Foster attended Friday’s meeting. Report Cites Deficiencies A nine-member team from the state Department of Education toured Rappahannock schools January 29-31 to determine if the system is meeting state and federal mandates on special education, vocational education, food services. Title I and Title 10-B. In a report of findings submitted a month ago, the team cites deficiencies at the elementary school in identifying and placing students in special education programs. The report is also critical of the lack of maintenance at the high school as well as limitations in curriculum and space. At the same time, the overall tone of the report is favorable towards faculty at the two schools. ‘‘Class sizes are excellent and there seem to be good interpersonal relationships in the classrooms (at the high school).” the report notes. Addressing the Title I program at the elementary school, the report states that it is ‘‘well administered with dedicated professional and non-professional instructional personnel utilizing sufficient material and equipment to accomplish their goal of successfully assisting the educational development of academically disadvantaged children.” During its review of the proposed 1980-81 school budget, the school board last week reduced funding for services of the school psychologist, effectively cutting in half the time the psychologist spends in working with Rappahannock students. Two months earlier, the administrative review team observed that “lack of supervisory staff has delayed placement and service arrangements for students who are found to be eligible for services.” Standards of Quality mandate that a student’s eligibility for special education programs be determined within 45 days after referral for services. Eligibility testing must include an evaluation by a psychologist. The report notes that this 45 day limit is not being met. “However, current activities and procedures are removing this lag,” the report states. Within the past two years, according to the administrative review team, students identified and served in special programs have increased from 19 to about 100. “It would appear that corrective action is already in progress,” the report states. Currently, students in special education programs are not being re-evaluated every three years, as required by state Standards of Quality, according to the review team. The report cites a need for re-evaluation, (Continued on Page 4) HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS The long delayed Sweetheart Danoe was finally held last Friday night at ' Rappahannock County High School alter the gala was postponed and postponed and postponed since Valentine weekend.

After his father died in 1939, Theodore’s wife Margaret took over the shop while her husband divided his time between the store and his Barron’s Tire business in Culpeper. When Theodore sold Barron’s Tires in 1954, he settled in to spend his days as a country store keeper. Barrons Store Is Landmark By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Theodore and Margaret Barron love their store. Their little neighborhood grocery in Viewtown is more than just a business. It’s a way of life, family history and a mirror of the past. Their pride and affection glows along with the shining floors and walls of the old frame building. The Viewtown store is spotless with the kind of clean that marks a labor of love. And when the Barrens talk about their memories from almost a half century of minding the store, both Theodore and Margaret beam with pleasure. If they have any complaints or regrets, they keep dissatisfaction well hidden. Barrons have been Viewtown storekeepers since 1919 when Theodore’s father bought the business from H. W. Spilman. As a youngster, he worked for his dad. “But I didn’t get any salary,” Theodore recalled. It wasn’t until after he married Margaret that his father paid him a salary—a monthly check of $35, according to Theodore. Duties back in the old days included more than just waiting oft customers. “Ote Mondays, 1 had an egg route and delivered groceries and feed at the same time. Thursdays, we took a truck with livestock to Baltimore,” Theodore remembered. “Then, on Fridays, we sold eggs and chickens house to house in Washington, D. C.,” he said, noting that conditions in the metropolitan area were different then. “We’d park our pick-up next to the sidewalk and leave it while we knocked on doors. That’s when things weren’t bad in the city,” he remembered with a smile. In the good old days, Barrons was grocery store, hardware store, meat market, ladies hat shop, ice house, fabric shop, shoe store and tailors all rolled into one. Counters and shelves held bolts of fabric. Upstairs, hats were styled for ladies of fashion. In the side room, hams and sidemeat hung from hooks in the ceiling. Margaret Barron still h^s the big book that customers flipped through to pick out the suit they wanted to order from a Chicago-based tailoring company. On one side, gentlemen smile from behind pencil-thin mustaches \ a la Gilbert Roland and Clark Gable, modeling the latest styles in men’s fashions. On the left-hand pages, samples of cloth are provided for buyers to choose. Prices reflect the changing times. In 1922, tailored suits ordered through Barron’s Store sold for an average of about S30 with the most expensive style and fabric listed in the catalogue at only $52. “Fancy vests,” at $4.50 a piece, were an even better buy. Ledgers dating back half a century show the impact that the passing years have had on food prices. In 1939, a one pound bag of coffee sold at Barron’s for 13 and a quarter cents. Coffee in the can was more expensive, going for 18 and a quarter cents. A pound of cocoa was only 18 cents. According to Theodore’s records, the store paid wholesale prices in 1939 of $3.48 for 100 cans of sardines, $4.35 for 100 pounds of sugar, $3.73 for 48 cans of Campbell’s Soup and $1.59 for a dozen 12-ounce cans of corned beef. Two loaves of bread sold for ten cents in 1933 while gas then was 22 cents a gallon, according to Theodore’s ledgers. Gas By The Caa Clifford Cooke, a fixture at Barron’s since he began work there in 1939, recalled that (Continued on Page 3) Scholarship Available The Rappahannock County Garden Club annually presents the Francis J. and Margaret W. Leonard Memorial Scholarship Grant to a senior student, who after graduation from Rappahannock County High School, continues his or her education. The club announces that the amount of the scholarship this year will be $1,000; $600 to be given the student the first year and $400 the following year, if the student continues in school. Scholarship applications arc available from the office of the high school guidance counselor and must be filled out and returned to that office by April IS. \ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Non Staff Writer “With the disparity between state funds and local funds (in the proposed 198181 school budget), I have grave reservations about us meeting the SI, 075 (minimum per pupil expenditure set by the General Assembly),” Superintendent William Bloomer told the Rappahannock School board at a special meeting last Friday morning. According to Bloomer, the county will receive $599,947 in state aid for 1980-81, an increase of S213.376 or 55.2 per cent over the current year. At the same time, local funds called for the operational budget approved by the school board amount to $863,005, an increase of $6,184 or 5.2 per cent from 1979-80. Both state and federal funding will be in jeopardy if the county fails to meet the minimum $1,075 per pupil expenditure. According to Bloomer s revenue estimates, Rappahannock can expect $71,628 in federal funds for the coming school year. “I don’t see how the school board can be held responsible for making decision when we don’t have the facts on which to base a decision,” stated chairman Beverly Massie. She maintained that the board cut Bloomer’s recommended budget believing state revenues would amount to $548,983 while the superintendent’s T*t«st' figures On state aid show an additional $50,000 coming in. Bloomer replied that his final tally on expected revenue wasn’t tabulated until 10 p.m. Thursday. He explained that fixed charges, including employer’s share of social security formerly paid directly oy tne state ana now to be paid by the locality and then reimbursed by the state, depend upon salary. This portion of state aid was therefore uncertain until the board voted on the salary schedule at last Monday’s meeting. He noted that the final figure on anticipated state aid for education falls between his low estimate of $548,983 and his high estimate of $683,934. These estimates were presented to the school board several weeks ago, along with the recommended budget for 1980-81. “It would be folly on the board’s part to approve everything in the upper level (in the recommended budget) when we’re unsure of fond ing,” Mrs. Massie coun tered. She suggested that the board members write the state department oi education, protesting the necessity of the board submitting its proposed budget to the supervisors without having firm estimates on expected state aid. Walter Masterson asked Bloomer for the procedure the state will follow on reimbursing the county for the employer’s share of social security payments, noting that this additional outflow may cause budget problems for the supervisors. “The state anticipates getting the money to the county treasury before we have to spend it,” the superintendent answered. Maintaining that state and federal funds often do not arrive on time as promised, Robert Eastham noted that the supervisors may have to use part of surplus county funds in order to keep the cash flow stable enough to meet payrolls. “1 hope this county will always keep a couple of hundred thousand in cash” to ensure sufficient funds should state or federal revenue arrive late, Eastham concluded. No Tie Breaking Vote At Monday’s buget meeting, the school board ended in a tie on the vote to purchase a modular unit for the elementary school’s self* contained learning disabilities class. Currently, these youngsters are being served at Piedmont regional school. 'Since the' other three participating jurisdictions—Madison, Orange and Culpeper - all provide local self-contained LD programs, leaving Rappahannock the only division utilizing Piedmont, the regional school will not provide the class in 1980-81. The school board approved a new LD teaching position during Monday’s seven hour session. Bloomer and assistant superintendent Rob McDanial, also supervisor of special education programs, have repeatedly maintained that there is no space for a self-contained LD class without the modular unit. Already at the elementary school, the child development specialist holds classes in the hall while the school psychologist uses the library’s audio-visual room for testing, the speech class is held in the former school dentist's office and the learning disabilities resource teacher is limited to working with four students at a time due to lack of space in her class area, the former clinic room. After the tie vote on Monday, Sperryville attorney James W. Fletcher was to make the decision, as the school board’s official tiebreaker, on purchase of the modular unit. Bloomer reported at Friday’s session that the Code allows 30 days for the tie-breaker to hear pros and cons on the issue. He noted, however, that the school board must meet an April 1 deadline for submitting the proposed school budget to the supervisors. In his conversation with Fletcher. Bloomer said, die attorney indicated he would first need time to review the code and gather information before casting his vote.

Muth. Mrs. Muth is publicity chairman for the association’s 1980-81 membership campaign and Mrs. Paul Frantz is membership chairman. They have announced that a family membership is for the season only $30, regardless of the number of children. A single adult membership is $12; a student $6; a single head of household with children, $18 and a patron’s listing is $50. According to Mrs. Frantz, the offerings for the upcoming season which begins in the fall include Victor Herbert’s Naughty Marietta in November; the Harvey Pittel Trio in April 1981 and Keith and Rusty McNeil following in May. All concerts are held in the auditorium of Culpeper County High School. County High In Wealth Per Child Rappahannock ranks fourth among all Virginia counties in wealth per child based on 1977 values of real estate and public service corporations, according to the State Department of Education. Only Surry, Louisa and Arlington Counties rate higher. At the same time, out of 9S counties, Rappahannock ranks 85th in total cost per pupil in regular day school and 31st in local per pupil expenditures for school operation. According to the state figures, true values of locally taxed property totaled *188,803,000 in 1977. Dividing local expenditures for school operations by the value of property here, the state arrived at a “true tax rate” of 43 cents, ranking Rappahannock 91st out of 95 counties on the basis of tax rate. Following this same procedure, Culpeper has a “true tax rate” of 72 cents, Fauquier 66 cents, Madison 79 cents. Orange 77 cents and Warren 72 cents.

Maurice du Castillon, Chaplain, n Bethany House Adoption of an in-school suspension program will “establish a jail house inside the school house,” maintained school board member Robert Eastham in opposing a grant application for federal funds to run such a program. At a special meeting held Monday, March 24, the board voted unanimously to oppose a grant application by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Criminal Justice Advisory Council on behalf of the county for in-school suspension. The money was to be channeled through Jhe state from the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA). According to Eastham, three Rappahannock students were under suspension as of March 24, none by action of the board. In addition, he said, no students were suspended in the previous month by board action. With the lack of suspended students, there’s no need for an in-school suspension program, Eastham said. If an in-school suspension program is instituted, “I guarantee we'll have a full population in the jail house,” he continued. He added that such a program would pose a tremendous temptation to teachers who cannot or will not maintain classroom discipline. Noting that in-school suspension had been suggested as a means of meeting the State Standards of Quality (SOQ) mandates for alternative education, Charles Eldred asked when these mandates must be fulfilled. "I suggest we get a court order right in the middle of this table" before complying with any mandates for inschool suspension, interjected Eastham, hitting the center of the library table with his hand. Superintendent William Bloomer explained that the mandate for alternative education which takes effect in September, 1980, is intended to meet the needs of students who aren’t being fully served through regular educational programs. Guidelines for alternative education aren't specific, he said. According to Bloomer, alternative education includes, but is not limited to; special education, vocational education. Title I and gifted and talented. Expansion of Rappahannock’s gifted and talented program covered in the proposed 1980-81 school budget is part of the effort here to meet the alternative education mandate. Bloomer said. He told the board members that localities must submit an alternative education plan which the state department of education evaluates for compliance with Standards of Quality. Bloomer noted, however, that the state has not yet decided what constitutes an all-inclusive alternative education program. “In-school suspension is one way of adding an element to the alternative education plan," he said. Open-ended Mandate “We don’t know what we’re mandated to do,” Eldred responded. “Personally. I feel there’s great merit in trying to keep students in an educational atmosphere,” he said, adding, however, that he was very concerned about “entanglements of open-ended mandates." Walter Masterson maintained that the school board has handled suspensions in an adequate manner by stipulating that suspended students won’t lose any grades already earned. Masterson said he too was "a little bit gun shy” about the lack of specifics in the state’s mandate for alternative education. hastham added that the school system will provide suspended students with their daily assignments. He reported also that LEAA funds are “on the chopping block” as part of President Carter’s requested budget cuts. According to the State Division of Justice and Criminal Planning, Carter’s Testing Set For Census Workers Pre-employment testing for prospective census takers will be given Saturday, April 5, at 11 a.m. in the court house in Washington. Applicants for paid, temporary work as census takers are urgently needed. Census takers should be U.S. citizens, age 18 or older. Workers may be hired, however, at age 16 or 17 if they are high school graduates or have equivalent work experience. The citizenship requirement may also be waived. A census taker must be able to follow printed instructions, do simple arithmetic and read maps. These skills will be tested before interviewing for hiring. Pay will average S4 an hour or more. Applicants should have a home telephone and a car but neither is absolutely necessary. Mileage will be paid when a personal car is used for census work. Census takers will be assigned to their own neighborhoods whenever possible. In addition, workers will be paid during training. For further information, contact a local Virginia Employment Office or call toll-free 1-800-572-7244. The Census Bureau is an equal opportunity employer.

The RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission had anticipated forwarding $28,000 in funding requests from Rappahannock. Madison, Orange, Culpeper "and Fauquier counties to the Division of Justice and Crime Prevention in Fiscal year 1980-81. The decision on in-school suspension came prior to the school board’s seven h<&ir review of the proposed 198081 school budget. After going over the budget line-item by line-item, the board retired to executive session at 2:40 a.m. for discussion of employment. Returning to public session 15 minutes later, chairman Beverly Massie announced that she had been authorized to question the school board’s attorney regarding the discussion of employment.—D. H.

MI-UU BARRON^ STORE IN VIEWTOWN—According to Theodore Barron, beautiful views of Rappahannock countryside that stretch out around the community. From its spot on a little knoll, the store looks out over gently rolling hills with the Blue Ridge Mountains for a backdrop. — Barron’s Is A Family Business (Continued from Page 1) gas sales were not only cheaper but less mechanized. “We had an old 55 gallon drum of gasoline under the tree that used to be out front—to keep it out of the sun,” he said. Gas was ladled out in a one gallon can and poured into car tanks using a funnel. “It was a slow process but it didn’t really matter. There were only about two cars back then,” Clifford chuckled. Most of the folks who shopped at Barrons in the days of the gas drum used other modes of transportation. “I ' remember when they came in horse and buggies and we had a hitching post outside,” Clifford said. Bills were also handled differently. In the 30’s, Barrons sent out bills to customers only twice a year—on March 1 and September 1. In between, folks bought on credit. Regulars can still buy on credit at Barron’s. Local people come in every two weeks or once a month to do their grocery shopping and then Theodore posts the bills to coincide with receipt of pensions or social security checks. This service is not afforded everyone, only old timers who’ve been customers for years or even generations at the Viewtown Store. “We’re not hunting for a lot of credit,” Margaret emphasized. Barron's doesn’t advertise Clifford Cooke’s haircuts either. The gentleman is still right handy with a pair of scissors and continues to give haircuts to his regular customers at a bargain basement price of $1.50. "I used to cut hair for 15 cents. Did it for years and years,” Clifford said, remembering when he seated his customers on old nail kegs. “Sometimes, 1 even cut it on credit,” he laughed. Trade For Good* Barron’s was a trading post back in the old days, buying as well as selling. Theodore still has mementos in hundreds and hundreds of little blue cardboard circles good for a dollars worth of merchandise. Margaret explained that local people brought in cured hams, eggs, chickens, vegetables and corn that was taken to mill for grinding or cracking, if they wanted cash for their goods, then Theodore deducted 10 per cent from the face value. If they chose to take the worth out in trade at the store, then they received full - value for the chickens, eggs or whatever and were paid with the circles of blue cardboard. “They’d deal up part and take money for the rest,” Margaret said. Back when Barron’s had a wheelwright’s .shop for a next-door-neighbor, the Viewtown store carried a line of horse shoes as well as ladies footwear and work shoes for men. “People came here for their horse shoes,” Theodore recalled. “The blacksmith didn’t have them.” Clifford pulled out a couple of old wooden boxes with more relics of bygone days. One held thousands and thousands of tiny wooden pegs used to mail on the soles to old fashioned shoes. He turned over an old boot to show the distinctive pattern of little triangles that marked pegged foot wear. "These are real antiques," Margaret announced, dragging out a pair of baby shoes made with shiny leather as soft and, pliable as calf skin. From the second box, Clifford took a handful of metal casket trimmings, proof that Barron’s handled everything from cradle to grave, beginning with baby shoes and ending with coffins. Community Center Like good country stores everywhere, Barron’s was a center for the community. “In the winter, they’d come in here to play checkers almost everynight, to tell jokes and sit round the stove,” Theodore recalled. “The young ones don’t want to do that anymore. I don’t know if the young ones even know how to play checkers,” he smiled. The checker games might be part of the past but Barron’s is still a hub of the Viewtown community. Strangers stop by to ask directions. United Parcel Service drops off hard-todeliver packages, sure that Theodore and Margaret will get them to their destination. Regulars stop in to exchange gossip. Last week’s favorite topic of conversation appeared to be ailments.

Cooperating more than many youngsters, Peanuts will lift her little feet one at a time and duck her little head to get the sweater on. question was "How are you feeling today?” directed to either Theodore, Margaret or Clifford. “I’ll live a couple of weeks yet,” Clifford replied to one inquirer. He ten offered a little advice on staying away from doctors and hospitals. "Don’t start messing around with them,” he cautioned. “They'll kill you,” he said, proceeding with a horror story about a case of misdiagnosis. Next to health, weather and gardening received the most attention in conversations. The upstairs that was once a fashionable hat shop and then living quarters for Margaret and Theodore is now storage rooms, full of old glass display cases and furniture and equipment that belongs to the Ruritan Club. Theodore, a member of the Amissville Ruritans with 17 years of perfect attendance, explained that the service organization keeps stuff on hand in case a family in the community is ever hit by fire or other disaster and has to start housekeeping over from scratch.

Mon.-Fri. Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation #. J THURSDAY, APRIL 3,1980 Shame Between Wednesday and Friday of last week, some low life syphoned the gas from the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s fire truck parked at the site of the company’s new fire hall. Fortunately, the tanker ran out of fuel on its way back from a fire rather than answering a call to an emergeny. Times are tight and the squeeze at the gas pump is one of the tightest squeezes of all. But stealing gas from a fire truck? The criminals involved couldn’t sink much lower unless an ambulance or rescue vehicle. If the tanker had run dry on its way to the fire, flames could have taken life and destroyed property before another company had time to respond to the emergency. We’d like to think that the crime was committed by strangers passing through but this doesn’t appear to be the case. Whoever stole the gas knew enough about our community to be familiar with the partially finished new home of the fire department. They knew the tanker was parked there instead of the old fire hall across the street from the court house. Rappahannock is a small community. Word travels fast here. We appeal to all county citizens to report anything suspicious that they might have noticed at the fire department’s lot across the street from the Black Kettle Restaurant and Washington’s Lake Motel. We also ask that information as to the culprits involved in this reprehensible theft be relayed to the county Sheriff’s Department. There’s a chance that the criminals can be apprehended but not without the cooperation of responsible citizens. Remember, the next time it might be YOUR house burning when a fire truck runs out of gas. Wakefield Students Tour England And Scotland On Monday, April 7, 58 Wakefield Preparatory School students and ten chaperones will leave for a two-week visit to England and Scotland. After flying on British Airways from Dulles Airport directly to Heathrow Airport, London, the group will spend the first two nights in the ancient Roman city of Bath. From Bath the party will make day excursions to Wells, Glastonbury, Cadbury (believed by archeologists to be the site of Arthur’s Camelot), Stonehenge, Salisbury - and Bradford-onAvon. Leaving Bath the group will journey through the Cotswold country of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire to the City of Oxford. After a tour of the Oxford colleges, they will continue on to Stratfordupon-Avon, with stops at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, and Edgehill, site of an important engagement of the English Civil War. In addition to the sites associated with William Shakespear’s life, the visit to Stratford will include attendance at an evening performance of As You Like It at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. After a night at Royal Leamington Spa, the tour will head in the direction of the Lake District in northwestern England, stopping for a time at Warwick Castle and the old walled town of Chester. After two days of rest and outdoor recreation at Lake Derwent near Windermere, the party will journey north to Scotland, stopping at Hadrian’s Wall near the Border and the home of Sir Walter Scott at Abbotsford. The two days spent in the Scottish capital will include visits to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace and the Royal Scottish Museum. From Edinburgh the tour will return to England, stopping overnight at York, one of England’s best preserved Medieval cities and return to London by way of Lincoln and the university city of Cambridge. The students will spend the last four days of their trip in London seeing all of the major sights in the British capital, and making a day trip to Canterbury and Hastings. On their last night in London, the group will have a gala party and attend a performance of the musical Oliver. Wakefield’s Headmaster William Lynn, who along with his wife Pamela Lynn will serve as tour guide, recently returned from England where he spent a week approving final arrangement for the tour. Lynn points out that this will be the fourth foreign trip for Wakefield students. In the past three years there have been student trips to Canada, France and Greece. When asked about the costs of these trips, Lynn states that it is possible for students to travel abroad at greatly reduced rates if plans are made carefully and well in advance. Each trip, he says, must be arranged about a year in advance in order to obtain rates which students can afford. For example, applying early, one can obtain for a small fee the "Open to View” passes which enable students to enter all historical sites, museums, and monuments in England and Scotland free of charge. According to Lynn, many of the students have been earning money for the trip since last summer. A student magazine drive in January netted $4000 which, applied against the cost of the trip, helped out considerably. Lynn says that the most important condition attached to the trip is that it must be a significant learning experience for each student. For the past two months students have attended a series of lectures on the history, geography and architecture of Great Britain. The fact that all Wakefield students are required to read British History as a prerequisite for the study of U.S. History has been an enormous help in preparing for this trip. Before departure students must pass an examination testing their familiarity with all of the sights they will see on the trip. Knowing in advance about what they will be seeing helps them appreciate it more fully, Lynn says. Do problems ever arise on these foreign trips? According to Lynn, the worst thing that has happened is that a student lost his passport last year in Greece. The U.S. embassy in Athens simply issued him a new passport, resolving the crisis, Lynn said. Another time a student had an allergenic reaction to a bee sting. "Luckily,” “we always take along a registered nurse to handle such emergencies.” he said. “We put great emphasis on good manners and proper behavior,” Lynn says. "We insist that the students be good representatives of their country. Dressed formally in the school uniform, they are an impressive sight and never fail to elicit comments of admiration wherever theygo," he continued. Wakefield’s Headmaster feels that his school’s trips, a sort of Grand Tour in segments, have proved of immense educational value and should be continued in the years ahead. Planning is already under way for next year’s trip to Egypt, he says. April Calendar Thursday, April 3, Board of Supervisors including annual hearing on secondary roads, 10 a.m., court house.

License Fees To Change The license fees paid by hunters and fishermen in Virginia will change this year, according to the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries. The cost of most licenses used by sportsmen will increase for the 1980 season, but Virginians who want to hunt and fish only in their home county or city will find the price of this license has been lowered. Beginning July 1, County or city resident fishing licenses will cost $3.00 and a statewide resident fishing license will sell for $7.50. A license to fish in stocked trout waters is $4.00. Nonresident licenses are: fishing—$15.00; stocked trout—$10.00. A five-day trip license for anglers remains unchanged at $3.00. Beginning in 1981 fishing licenses will be sold on an annual basis. Fishing licenses purchased this July will be good for 18 months through December 1981. The price of hunting and trapping licenses has also changed. A resident hunting license will cost $7.50 this year and a big game license for residents will also be - $7.50. Non-residents will be paying $30.00 each for hunting and big game licenses. County and city hunting licenses are $3.00 this season. Trapping will cost $7.50 for a county-city license and $25.00 for a statewide permit. As in the past, hunting licenses are good from July 1 through June 30. ++++ The cocoon of a single silkworm can yield up to 1,000 yards of silk thread, the National Geographic Society says. —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage State Aid To Jump (Continued from Page 1) Fletcher proposed contacting Walter Masterson to see if he would be persuaded to reconsider his abstention and break the tie. No Modular Unit Reading from Robert’s Rules of Order, Mrs. Massie noted that a vote fails in the event of an unbroken tie. “As 1 understand it, if I do not choose to vote, the motion fails,’’ said Masterson. “I do not choose to vote.” Eastham objected to Fletcher’s refusal to break the deadlock. "It seems to me that Mr. James William Fletcher could put this at the top of his list,” he said, adding that it shouldn’t take the attorney much longer than three hours to consult with all parties involved. Bloomer explained that Fletcher feels he’s not up-todate on General Assembly mandates and so would have to research that aspect of the question also. Mrs. Massie noted that the school board has approved, the position for an LD teacher but not space in which to hold class. “That’s their problem,” Eastham responded, apparently in reference to the school administrators. “It might be their problem but it’s our responsibility,” Mrs. Massie countered. If school funding is lost, added board member Charles Eldred, that, too, is the school board's responsibility. Bloomer noted that Rappahannock’s special education program currently has state approval but if adequate class facilities are not provided, that approval may be withdrawn with a resulting loss of federal and state funding. “Give U* The Money” In explaining his reasons for abstaining on the modular unit vote, Masterson said it isn’t clear in his mind “where state and federal funding comes together.” According to Masterson, other states are refusing to meet federal mandates if money is not also supplied. “By mandating, they have a right to fund,” he said. “If we must do this, fine. Give us the money.” At the school board’s Monday session, Eastham questioned whether federal funds will be provided as anticipated as a result of budget cuts proposed by President Carter. On Friday, Dr. Bloomer reported that he’d checked with the State Superintendent of Schools and had been told that Virginia does not anticiapte any major revisions in federal money the Commonwealth will receive this year. He added that the State Department of Education does expect changes in 1981-82 funds. Accordingly, the General Assembly has already made adjustments for the second year of the biennium. Bloomer said. He also told the board that he’d asked the state department about Eastham’s suggestion on combining older children classified as educable mentally retarded (IQs of approximately 45 to 80) with younger trainable mentally retarded youngsters (IQs of approximately 20 to 45) and had been told this couldn’t be done. In addition. Bloomer said. the state department turned down another Eastham suggestion on using partitions to divide up classrooms currently being used by special education classes with eight to 12 students. McDaniel added that the regional supervisor for special education indicated Eastham’s proposals were not approved practices. He told the board the supervisor has also volunteered to come before the board to explain regulations and guidelines for special education. Letters To The Editor Rectify The Situation To the editor: The ruling by the Virginia Attorney General now makes it clear that the appointments of Robert Eastham and Charles Eld red to the School Board are illegal and the situation should be rectified. Tki, Preambulatory To the editor: Shame on you, to “sic” your editorial pen on my use of the word “preambulatory” at the School Board meeting on March 24th. Webster’s New International Dictionary of the English Language, unabridged approves these adjectives immediately following the related noun, “preamble”: “preambular, or preambulary, or preambulatory—of, relating to, or of the character of a preamble.” The aforementioned unabridged dictionary, I am pleased to note, is available to you, as it is to our good students and teachers there, in the library of our Elepientary School. Robert W. Eastham Flint Hill, Virginia (Editor’s note: Our copy of the Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary makes no mention of the word “preantbulatory” as an accepted form of "preamble.” It does however, define “ambulatory” as “of or pretaining to walking; , adapted to walking; occuring while walking.”) In Direct Violation cerning the school board meeting, that the school board member does not have the interests of special education students or teachers at heart; and his statements urging violation of state mandated requirements for special education programs should not be tolerated. While there can be no assurance that future members of the board will be concerned with following state requirements, the removal of this member of the board may serve as notice that public statements from school board members urging violation of state education requirements will not be tolerated. It is time for those concerned with quality education in Rappahannock County to make themselves heard concerning this issue. MICHAEL J. GANTLEY Culpeper Review Team Finds Deficiencies (Continued from Page 1) particularly at the secondary level. ‘‘The school psychologist is employed on a part-time basis and is making every effort to accomplish the required objective. It is the team’s judgement that corrective action is being implemented,” the report says. The conclusion that corrective action i$ being undertaken in correcting all deficiencies was made on the basis of a school psychologist available 120 days rather than 60 days as will result from the reduction in funds in the proposed 1980-81 budget. No LD Classroom Also in its review of the budget recommended by superintendent William Bloomer for next year, the board failed to approve funds for a modular unit required to house a self-contained learning disabilities class. The board did, however, okay an appropriation for employing an additional instructor to teach the selfcontained LD class. “Space constraints reduce the availability of alternative placements. There is a need for self-contained classes for learning disabled students,” according to findings of the administrative review team in late January. The report acknowledges that activities described in Rappahannock's six-vear plan for special education have been implemented. It goes on to say, however, that the position of coordinator for special education included in the plan “was not funded by the school board” last year. The same position of coordinator for special education was refused funding again this year and eliminated from the proposed 1980-81 budget. Lack Of Maintenance Also cut from the proposed budget was the position of maintenance supervisor for the two schools. “Adequate service is not provided to maintain efficient custodial care and equipment at the high school,’’ according to the administrative review team. “This damages the learning climate and makes inappropriate demands upon the work day of school administrators, especially the principal.” The report cites views expressed by a high school staff member that “the present curriculum is not comprehensive enough to meet the student’s interests and needs. Many students cannot enroll in courses in which they are interested either because (a) such courses are not offered at Rappahannock County High or (b) some courses which are offered cannot be scheduled for all interested students.” In the area of vocational education, the report again notes that “lack of space prevents all interested students from taking advantage of some vocational offerings.” It is noted, however, that the courses offered at the high school meet minimum requirements set by the state. In other areas, the team cites the hospital bed ip, the home economics classroom for not being screened or isolated from students in class or from the food area when the bed is used as a clinic for youngsters who are ill. The report also notes several safety problems in vocational classes including a saw blade guard missing from a rip saw and wearing of goggles by only a few students when using power saws and sanders. With the exception of a few apparently minor deficiencies in food services, kindergarten class size, the lack of written procedures for special education screening and the high schools inoperable fire alarm system, the administrative review team’s findings indicate that Rappahannock schools meet minimum state standards in federal and state mandates. Asked what will result from the deficiencies cited in the report, superintendent William Bloomer explained that review teams are currently looking into compliance with state and federal mandates by school systems across the state. In the past, he said, compliance has been measured solely on the basis of reports turned in by division administrators. If checks by review teams turn up a wide disparity between their findings and earlier reports from administrators, then the state can be expected to monitor compliance more closely. Bloomer said. Failure by schools to meet federal mandates on special education, vocational education and Title programs could result in a hold up of federal funds for education to the state, according to Bloomer.—D. H. Trustees a golden opportunity to remove Mr. Robert Eastham from further duties on the School Board. The total lack of judgement and sensitivity on the part of this man as a member of the School Board leaves a serious blot on our school system. It is obvious that Mr. Eastham has not benefitted from life’s experience and to quote him: “he has only continued.” It is disgusting to deny a handicapped person special education by labeling it “nonsense.” I would surely hope that the Electoral Trustees will seriously question the appointment of Mr. Robert Eastham. The County, the schools, teachers and pupils deserve better. WERNER KREBSER, M.D. To the editor: As a former resident of Rappahannock County who has worked in the school system with special education students and teachers, I read with interest the article concerning the school board meeting of March 24. While school ad-' ministrators called for the board to adopt measures designed to meet state mandated requirements for special education, a member of the board proposed certain actions be taken that are in direct violation of these requirements. You report that this was done despite repeated attempts by a school administrator to explain that the board member’s proposals were in violation of state requirements concerning special education programs. If one supposes that one of the duties of local school board members is to see that state requirements concerning educational programs are met and adhered to. then the comments attributed to the school board member must be considered inappropriate. While an individual is entitled to personal opinions concerning special education programs in the public schools, a school board member should not be allowed to propose measures that violate the state educational requirements for special education programs. If this member of the board must advocate measures that are unlawful under present regulations, and do so in his capacity as a member of the school board then it is time that the individual assume the role of a disgruntled citizen and not continue as a member of the board. It now appears that the citizens of Rappahannock County as well as the Commonwealth Attorney have at their disposal a unique opportunity in seeing that the school board member might possibly be removed from his position on the board. I refer to the front page article of the March 24 issue of the Rappahannock News entitled, “Appointments Still Illegal", in which it is stated that the member in question was appointed illegally to the board. I would urge educators and concerned citizens to investigate the possibilities of removing the member from the school board, if they are as concerned,as I about the statements attributed to this school board member. It becomes apparent when reading the article con

Here in the Northern Piedmont of Virginia, in the 1960's alone, our nine counties lost over 2,250 farms. Today, this trend continues. We are not alone in this, but somehow, here in the Piedmont, there seems to be more to lose. Centuries of careful stewardship have produced a uniquely beautiful land that could be destroyed in one short generation. We have to accommodate the demands of the future but we must also protect what we have inherited from the past. This a large challenge, and there is only one way to meet it: for citizens to demand the wise use of our land. Then we—and our children —will have a Piedmont to be proud of. Open Spa The Piedmont Environmental Council is a private, non-profit organization serving the Northern Virginia Piedmont counties of Albemarle, Clarke. Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Loudoun, Madison Orange, and Rappahannock. PEQ^s central goal is clear: to work for the best interests of all Piedmont citizens in the use of our land. This means accommodating growth when it is desirable, but making sure it is in the right place at the right time, and of the right type. It means conserving the natural beauty and rural way of life that make our land a special place. And most importantly, it means giving Piedmont citizens a real voice in the future of their land.

Bowie, Chairman 47+ on cusium«i!i uuymg groceries, work clothes and household supplies. The three have been joined in the last five years with a fourth fixture at the Viewtown store. Peanuts, the Barrons’ hairless chihuahua might tip the scales at six pounds if she holds her breath and wears a heavy collar. Not the typical yappy and nervous miniature, she greets friends and strangers alike with a wag of her tiny tail. Peanuts has her own circle of admirers at the store. “She likes most people although there are a few that she’ll bark at,” said Theodore. “But she just loves Clifford.” To demonstrate, he plopped Peanuts on the floor for her first visit of the day with her old friend. She skittered around the counter to where Clifford was waiting on a customer and standing on her teeny little hind legs, pawed his pants cuff for attention. “There you are!” cried Clifford as he swooped Peanuts up to her accustomed riding place, curled up in the palm of one hand. Later, Clifford moved to a chair next to the stove where he crooned to Peanuts as she smothered his hand with wet doggie kisses. When Peanuts isn’t being loved by Clifford, she rides in the front of Margaret’s sweater where she stays warm while the postmaster sorts the Viewtown mail. Margaret reported that the little dog is so spoiled, she won’t set foot off the front porch if there’s rain or snow, insisting instead that she be carried. This past winter, someone remarked to Red Payne, the Amissville mail route carrier, that snow was getting too deep for Peanuts to make the trip from the house to the store with Margaret. “He just laughed and said that as long as Margaret could get through. Peanuts would be right there with her.” It’s that way with Margaret, Theodore and Clifford. As long as they can get there, the three will be keeping store in Viewtown. "We don’t make a lot of money but we make a living,” Theodore chuckled. rfr Yn REAL ESTATE f 17Vi acres, high elevation, easy access, spring water by gravity, unexcelled views, 3 bedroom, 2 baths, living room with heatol&tor fireplace, dining room, modern kitchen, electric heat, large basement., $75,000.
