Rappahannock News, May 1, 1980

^ ' 9 V A SAMBIS 31st YEAR, No. 18 USPS 45558C 10 Pages THURSDAY, MAY 1,1980 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 20* Register By May 29 Thursday, May 29, is the last day Rappahannock residents may register to vote in the June 17 referendum on the method of appointing school board members. The registrar’s office in the court house at Washington is open every Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p m. In addition, the office will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 3, for absentee ballotting in the town election. Persons may also register on that day. At issue in the June referendum is whether to change the method of selecting. school board members trom appointment by the current three-member board of electoral trustees, themselves appointed by a circuit court judge since retired. Voters will mark ballots “yes” or “no” on having school board members elected by the board of supervisors, the only option available under Virginia law to appointment by electoral trustees. If the referendum passes, upcoming vacancies in Piedmont and Jackson Districts will be filled by the board of supervisors. Terms for Beverly Massie in Jackson and Allen Stokes in Piedmont expire as of June 30, two weeks after the referendum. According to commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, the electoral trustees can act on the vacancies at the trustee’s May 5 meeting although the appointments for Piedmont and Jackson District will not be valid if the referendum is approved. Should the trustees adopt a “wait and see’’ attitude, delaying action until after the vote on the referendum, it could become the supervisors’ responsibility to validate the challenged appointments in Wakefield and Hampton Districts as well as to fill the two vacancies. Assuming the referendum passes, the present members of the board of supervisors will fill two additional school board seats where terms expire before the next supervisor elections in November, 1983. If the electoral trustees carry through on their advertised intention of confirming last year’s appointments, Robert Eastham’s term as Wakefield representative will expire June 30, 1981. Walter Masterson’s term in Stonewall-Hawthorne will run out June 30,1982. The next supervisor elections will preceed the expiration of the school board term in Hampton District. Appointments of electoral trustees C. E. Johnson, Jr., Granville Eastham and Christine Johnston will expire in July, 1982. Book Fair Parents and friends are invited to attend “The Great American Book Fair” at Rappahannock County Elementary School Library which will be held May 1st through May 7th from 8:30 a.m. till 3:30 in the afternoon. Books will also be available for purchase during the Art Festival on Sunday, May 4, from 2-4 p.m. “Your child is worthwhile. Your child is important. Reading is the difference in having a future and not having a future. Our Book Fair allows students to own books of their choice. Pride of possession stimulates reading, and opens the door to a wonderful world of books,” said Mrs. Lucia KUby, Librarian. Books displayed are carefully selected for educational values and childinterest, ranging in price from 39 cents to $3.00* she noted. Profits from all sales will be used by the School Library to provide additional books for the students. N 1 —Rappahannock Nrw Photni'Piphu Hiflrtiinm FAREWELL TO SKIING IN RAPPAHANNOCK—Crews from Camelback ski area in Pennsylvania arrived at the deserted Harris Hollow site last week to wind up the cable for the ski lifts. All the ski equipment is scheduled for removal as the property goes up for sale again following the failure of a private ski club concept to catch on. Conservation Award By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappahaanoek N*wa Staff Writer ' Lynne Baines, seventh grade science teacher at Rappahannock Elementary School, is the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District's entry in the statewide Environmental Conservation Awards Program. Singlehandedly, she’s been responsible for the development of an outstanding program of environmental conservation education. She has taught youngsters that no, you can’t go out and make more air, create new water or manufacture more soil when what we’ve got is spoiled. And while she’s teaching the ABC’s of life science, the study of living things, she’s managed to create excitement about learning among her young scholars. When Lynne Baines came to Rappahannock eight years ago after a year of teaching eighth and ninth grade and home economics in her home county of Suffolk, the science program she inherited consisted of a half hour of TV once a week. The youngster seventh graders were struggling with an old text written on an eleventh grade level. “Most of them couldn’t even read it,’’ Baines recalled. “I tried to devise a program that would interest the students as well as teach them,” she said. Baines developed her own curriculum, relying heavily on “hands-on” experiments. Today, every inch of available shelf, counter and bulletin board space in the classroom is taken up with examples of her "hands-on” approach—regular assignments and extra credit projects done by the youngsters plus displays that Baines has put together. The key words in her science program are “relationship” and “awareness”. She believes that life science must be taught as the relationship of all living things with the environment. “We look at mankind in relation to the spaceship we live on and in relation to the other living (Continued on Page 2) Preliminary Budget Calls For Tax Jump By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Ncwi Staff Writer If all requests from local agencies and departments are funded as submitted, Rappahannock’s budget for 1980-81 will total $2,756,062—an increase of approximately 17 per cent over the current year’s budget of $2,344,723. Meeting on Monday morning with accountant Wally Cox in a work session, the supervisors were presented with a problem that has no easy, politically acceptable solution. In order to balance expenditures with revenue, Cox explained, the board basically has only three choices: cut the school budget, raise taxes by 40 per cent or dip into the county’s $193,000 in surplus funds. Without using any surplus money, the preliminary budget drawn up by Cox requires a tax rate of $5.90 per $100 of assessed valuation, an increase of $1.70 over the current rate of $4.20 per $100. “We’re going to start the year with approximately $193,000 (in surplus funds),’’ Cox reported, adding that the county could lower the cushion to around $80,000. Depending on how much of the surplus is used to meet next year’s operating expenses, the tax rate for 198081 can be lowered from $5.90 with fewer budget cuts. With assessed value of locally taxable property - estimated at $16 million, tea cents on the tax rate generates $1,600 in revenue, according to Cox. In the preliminary budget, he noted that taking $75,000 for operating expenses from surplus funds will bring the rate down to $5.40 and leave the surplus balance at $113,000. Cox reminded the supervisors that this year they will have to set a tax rate which will be effective for two years rather than one. This is necessary, he explained, because state law prohibits the supervisors from raising taxes when a reassessment takes effect. (Rappahannock’s reassessment is currently under way and new rates based on 100 per cent fair market value will be reflected on the 1981 tax bills). “You’re getting to where you’re behind right now in meeting the operational budget, Cox said. He maintained that a tax increase is unavoidable but possibly should be delayed until 1982, the year following the reassessment “This may be the year you should try to hold it down,’’ he said. Over SOQ Minimum ‘‘If you’re going to do anything to balance the county budget, (cuts) must be made in the school budget,’’ stated Cox. Between SI20,000 and $250,000 has to be cut if expenditures and revenue are to balance without a big tax increase, he acknowledged. According to Cox, the SI,844,405 budget recommended by the school board includes $241,000 MORE in local money than the state requires the county to allocate under minimum per pupil expenditures set by the Standards of Quality. Under state mandates, the county must provide $620,180 plus sales tax to meet SOQ levels, Cox said. The budget for 1980-81 adopted by the | school board calls for over $861,000 in local funds, he said. According to Cox’s figures, the proposed school budget breaks down to a per child expenditure of $1,290 for basic education. The minimum set by the General Assembly for 1980-81 is $1,075. Cox added that in the current year, Rappahannock is $160,000 over the minimum load expenditure set by the state. “If this isn’t something else now,” remarked supervisor H. B. Wood, shaking his head. "We were told we are way under (the minimum).’’ “It’s not unusual to be over but. you’re certainly doing more than the state requires you to do,” Cox replied. Figures In Error Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke acknowledged that Cox’s figures on the county’s per pupil expenditures were correct, despite statements to the contrary by school personnel. At a special budget work session held Friday, the supervisors met with superintendent of schools Dr. William Bloomer and several members of the school board. Bloomer maintained that local funds in the proposed 1980-81 budget still fell short of meeting the state minimum by $38,000 even with an additional allocation of $40,650 recently approved for a double modular unit. "The school board was of the opinion that (money spent for the modular unit) could be used to take care of the $38,000 deficit but that is not the case,” the superintendent told the (Continued on Page 3) —Rappahannock Nawa Photo/S. Latham RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS’ CO-OP was entered and robbed last Wednesday or early Thursday. The safe was peeled and chisled and relieved of its contents. Vandals Crack Safe, Rob Farmers’ Co-op Thieves broke into the Rappahannock Fanners Coop last week and escaped with approximately $2,000 in cash and checks. According to Sheriff W. A. Buntin, the robbery occurred sometime between 9 p.m. on Wednesday, April 23, and S a.m. the following morning. Buntin said the robbers forced entry through a door on the west side of the building, apparently with a crow bar. Using tools taken off the co-op’s shelves—seven or eight big screw drivers, wrecking bars and a sledge hammer—they broke open the company's safe. “They had all the tools they needed in there,” Buntin said. adding that the job looked like the work of more than one person. The front cover plate of the safe was “peeled” off and the thick cement chisled and shattered to release the lock mechanism. Investigation into the robbery is continuing with the sheriffs department assisted by Frank Lasley, state police investigator with the mobile crime scene lab. In 1965 when the Washington Apple Growers was located in this building the safe was cracked and $600 in cash taken. A large safe in Sperryville Corner Store was peeled and $4000 taken in ’69. Campaigning Low Keyed For Town Elections By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Politicing in the town of Washington is a far cry from hotly contested national and statewide campaigns or even from races for seats on the county board of supervisors. With town elections less than a week away on Tuesday, May 6, there are no campaign appearances, no political speeches and no "vote for me” ad* vertisements. A single contender is running for town treasurer and no one’s officially running for mayor. The only race is between six candidates for five seats on the town council. J. Newbill Miller, the incumbent, filed as a candidate for mayor but did not certify with the State Board of Elections in Richmond so his name won’t appear on the ballot. Instead, the ballot will carry a box for marking a choice and the notation “For Mayor, vote for not more than one” with a blank space for writing in a name. Incumbent treasurer Bradford Fisher is running unopposed after serving in the position for two years. <■ DOROTHY CLATER k Fisher, head chemist for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, has been a resident of the town for four years. Active in the volunteer Fire department and captain of the rescue squad, he’s also a member of the Rappahannock Chorus and the choir at Trinity Episcopal Church. The five current members of the Washington town council have been joined in their bids for re-election by one newcomer to local politics. Sheila F. Estes will be the new name on this year’s CLARENCE GILES ballot. A resident of the town for nine years, Ms. Estes is a graduate of Rappahannock County High School, ranking third in the class of 1976. She has been employed as a legal secretary for Douglas K. Baumgardner, current commonwealth’s attorney, for the past two years. Asked why she decided to run for a council seat, Ms. Estes said she wanted an opportunity to give support to the town and to “find out what’s going on.” Dorothy P. Clater, current clerk, has served on the council for four years. A DOROTHY HAWKINS native of Washington, she’s employed as assistant cashier at the Rappahannock National Bank. She said she’s seeking re-election because she enjoys serving on the council. Clarence E. Giles Jr., (Skippy) has been a resident of the town all his life. Proprietor of the Washington Cash Store, Giles has served on the council for four years. He initially tried for a council seat after being asked to run by several of his neighbors and is seeking re-election because of his interest in the town. CHARLES JENKINS > Dorothy B. Hawkins is the senior member of the council, having served for 28 years, eight of them as clerk. A native of Washington, she was born and raised in the town where she has worked as postal clerk for 14 years. "I have a sincere interest in the town,” she said. ‘‘I’ve enjoyed serving on the council. I feel my time there has been productive. I particularly enjoy working on town improvement projects, seeing projects through to completion.” Charles R. Jenkins, council member for four years, is a TAYLOR UPDIKE retired government mechanic. Besides enjoying his service as a council member, Jenkins explained that he is seeking re-election because his duties as care taker of the town’s water system have provided him with the necessary background to explain the workings of the system to the council and to answer questions on the water system from the other members. H. Taylor Updike, retired from the construction business, hasn't missed a meeting during his most recent four year stint on the council. A native of Washington, Updike was also a councilman for two terms in the 1950s. “The only reason I'm going for it is the money,” Updike joked when asked why he’s running this year. (Council members are paid S5 per monthly meeting.) In a more serious vein, he said he wanted to continue serving because he’s interested in helping Washington’s elderly residents. Updike added that he also wants to work towards preserving the character and atmosphere of the town. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the registrar’s office in the court house.

We learn about mammals and birds when we look at the desert, about worms and spiders when we study top soil. Everything is viewed in relationship to habitat and other living things that share that habitat." Baines explained. By keying on relationships, she impresses her kids with how critical it is for man to protect his environment—his continued life on earth depends on that protection. Conservation is emphasized in section on pollution—water, air, land, noise and over-population. Seventh graders learn about the use and replacement of trees in lessons on renewable resources and in looking at non-renewable resources, study endangered and extinct species. She stresses that everyone is part of the problem. The kids are asked to weigh the family trash and to put socks over the exhaust pipes of automobiles in a graphic demonstration of how the combustion engine adds to air pollution. They count the electrical appliances in their homes to learn how the energy demands of their own households. “I try to make them aware that with pollution and conservation, we’re not talking about other people. We’re talking about us,” Baines said. “I want them to be aware of the impact that one family has on our resources.” ‘‘This is the future generation of Rappahannock County. They’re going to have to deal with the' dumpsters, with maintaining a sanitary landfill, with abiding by the regulations of the State Water Control Board," she said. “I try to make them aware of all these problems areas and the agencies that they’ll have to deal with.” Creativity and fun are also part of the curriculum Baines has developed. The kids bring white tee-shirts from home and with special crayons, draw their insides in bright colors on the shirts for a lesson in anatomy. Before field trips were cut back, the class took advantage of the nearby Shenandoah National Park and trekked throughBig Meadows on a two-mile hike for plant identification and habitat examination. Along with the hike came a picnic lunch in the beautiful Blue Ridge. The seventh graders make paper from pulp using old paper bags to emphasize that recycling works. “We do it in a very primitive way but the paper-making process is the same,” Baines noted. The kids make animal cells out of modeling clay and carnivorous plants out of paper with stencils that Baines designed. The youngsters bring specimens in for the class insect cage and collect spider webs to display. An aquarium filled with marine life donated by the Rappahannock Lions Club gives them the opportunity for a first hand look at aquatic life. All of her ideas, plans and projects focus on one goal: making science something that seventh graders can relate to with their everyday lives rather than just another academic subject. “We talk about what’s the best thing to do with old tennis shoes, basketballs and plastic containers. Do you recycle or bury them or burn them? I tell the kids that 500 years from now, those plastic milk containers will still be there if they’re buried. If you burn them, you create air pollution by releasing poisonous gas into the atmosphere. If you filter the air through water, you’ve got water pollution.” For many of the problems she presents for discussion, there are no easy solutions but she starts her youngsters thinking. When they leave her class, they go with the knowledge that the plastic milk container is made from petroleum products, a nonrenewable resource. They know there’s no safe way to dispose of the non WHERE THERE’S EXHAUST FUfttflS, there’s pollution. Seventh graders in./ Lynne Baines’ class tied old socks to the exhaust pipes of family cars so they coulp see for themselves how the automobile adds to air pollution. Plastic bags labeled with make, model, year and type of gas decorate the science bulletin board.

Refinishing Is More Art Than Job By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Barbara Sharon sees woodworking as more of an art form than a profession. Rappahannock Refinishers, the business she began with her partner Sandra Maskas, pays the bills but it also offers Barbara an outlet for her creativity. "I’m an artist—a frustrated one,” she laughed. “I wanted to work with wood but I didn’t know where to start. I began with refinishing and repairing so I could learn the basics. Next, I want to go on to bigger and better things—to actually making funiture.” Before opening her shop on Route 231 in the F.T. Valley, she learned from Sherri Woodward at Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques, refinishing pieces with a past. The trial run at sanding, staining and varnishing convinced Barbara that she’d found her nitch. ‘‘I like to work with wood. It Culpeper Art Co. 204 N. Main St. Culpeper, Va. Quality Antiques Custom Framing make me feel good,” she explained. "I really prefer to work with nice old antiques,” Barbara added. It’s not only the expert craftsmanship of the old pieces that intrigues her. “I like the sense I get of being in touch with the past.” Barbara puts seven days a week into Rappahannock Refinishers. Sandra, her partner in the business, can only devote part-time to wood. With a degree in social work from Clarion State and hours on her masters from the University of Pittsburg, Sandra is the full-time director of community services for Community Action, based in Warrenton. Sandra spends evenings and weekends breathing sawdust in the shop and drives her van for pick-up’ and delivery of furniture. ‘‘But she’s not as much into it as I am,” Barbara noted. The two friends stumbled on Rappahannock by chance. Barbara worked for an air lines for ten years before she became dissatisfied enough with her job to chuck it all and start back to school. She enrolled in the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, planning on a career in the film industry. As part of an assignment, she traveled down to Rappahannock, where she had friends living, to do a movie on the county.

In concert with the county’s slow-paced, old-fashioned atmosphere, the partners will engage in a little old-fashioned bartering in place of standard fees for their work. "I fell in love with it,” she recalled. “From then on, 1 wanted to live here but I had to find a way to support myself. It was the scenery but I also liked the laid-backness of the county. What a culture shock after New York! But the slower pace of living suits me quite well” After relocating in Rappahannock, Sandra and Barbara began a concentrated effort to become a part of the community. They decided to try a variety of jobs. “It’s a good way to get to know people,” Barbara explained, adding that they had savings enough to allow them to learn something about the neighborhood before settling down to permanent employment. Sandra worked at John Walker Jenkins Auction House, Nature’s Goods and Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center while Barbara tried Alson Atkins’ riding stable in Sperryville, stone masonry with Martin Woodward and refinishing at Faith Mountain. Both women joined the Sperryville Rescue Squad as a further step in community involvement and service. Recently, Sandra was elected first sergeant of the squad, a measure of the acceptance they’ve won.

Accountant Suggests Budg (Continued from Page 1) supervisors on Friday, noting that capital outlay costs cannot be counted in figuring per pupil expenditures for basic education. He explained that he’d initially proposed spending additional funds for a single modular unit, relying on getting a waiver fiom the state department of education to allow the money to be counted towards per pupil expenditures for basic education. In his arguments to Richmond, Bloomer said he’d noted that the modular unit must be purchased to house students in self-contained learning disabled classes currently served at Piedmont regional school, pespite the immediate need for the trailer, the state department turned down the waiver request, Bloomer said. “In other words, you still have to spend $38,950,” supervisor Hubert Gilkey noted. “Right—it has to go in the operational portion of the budget,’’ Bloomer replied. ' Luke asked if an argument could be made for keeping the learning disabled students at Piedmont for another year since the regional school notified the local board only six months ago that the youngsters will have to be taken care of here in 1980-81.

Si teacher, students should be served in their local school system, according to Bloomer. He noted that the other three counties using the regional school have all pulled their self-contained LD students back. “This is all very good and informative but it’s something the school board should work out,” Wood interjected. “I don’t know what we’re doing here today.” School board chairman Beverly Massie reported that confirmation in writing on the ruling regarding counting the modular unit under operational expenses had only been received from Richmond that morning. She recalled that the school board had agreed to spend funds necessary to meet the SOQ limit of the expense of the modular unit couldn’t be counted. Already Meeting Minimum School board member Robert Eastham maintained that the budget approved by the board already exceeds the per pupil spending level set by the state. According to Eastham, the proposed budget for 1980-81 breaks down to per student expenses of $1,289.4^ for basic education. “There’s no way you can say we’re not meeting the $1,075 (SOQ Minimum), regardless of capital outlay,” he argued. Eastham said he'd repeatedly tried to get a clear cut formula from the superintendent to determine the level of per pupil expenditure in the proposed budget. According to Eastham, Bloomer didn't supply him with the information until Thursday evening. Luke said that he too had computed the per pupil breakdown but had come up with figures different from both Bloomer’s and Eastham’s. "Looks to me like this is something the school board’s got to take back and get to work on,” Wood commented. In response, the school board agreed to meet Wednesday in another budget work session. “We still have to decide if the school system must have the modular units,” Eastham said. “Personally, I’m of the opinion that we need them urgently...We don’t know when the building program will begin.” "I don’t want to push you but where do you stand on the capital outlay program?” Luke asked the school board. Allen Stokes answered that a roof design engineer had been recommended to the board as an expert who may be able to solve problems with leaks at the elementary “Capital outlay is on the agenda for our May meeting,” Mrs. Massie added. In other school budget items covered briefly on Friday, the school board indicated that $8,000 in the proposed budget for installation of underground gasoline storage tanks could be cut since, according to Walter Masterson, there is no longer arv advantage to bulk purchasing. At the request of the school board, the supervisors voted unanimous approval for the teacher salary scale which re fleet's a 12 per cent increase over the current year. Early approval of the salary scale is intended as an aid in recruitment of new teachers.

Chorus Concert The Rappahannock Chorus under the direction of Gloria Harris will present its annual spring concert Saturday, May 10 at f p.m. at the old Washington school building. The main feature in the program will be the delightful “Liebeslieber Walzer” by Johanne Brahms. As texts Brahms chose poems from Daumer’s “Polydorn”, a collection of translations and imitations of folk poetry mostly Russian, Polish and Magyar. “In them the joy and rapture of love seem to be the predominating sentiment. Brahms has matched them with a piano duet which can stand alone as a charming and complete example of writing in this genre while the chorus parts are full of rhynthic vitality and harmonic coloration,” said Mrs. Harris. Accompanying the chorus with the piano duet will be Beverly Clark and Virginia Bethune, both of Front Royal. Other works on the program will be madriglas, folk and novelty songs. The public is invited to come. Market Clean-up This Saturday, weather permitting, Marshall Burke with his mule will join. interested persons at the Farmers Market location west of Washington for a clean-up day.

In the preliminary document, Cox included $20,000 for three county cars for the sheriffs department. He balanced the added expense with a decrease from $19,000 to $3,000 in mileage payments, noting that sheriff W. A. Buntin will be the only law enforcement official still driving his own vehicle and receiving mileage payments if the cars are purchased. Including gas, oil maintenance and insurance the cost of switching to countyowned cars will total $36,500, according to Cox. “About (Continued oh Page 4) Rappahannock News photo/B.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 1,1980 A Suggestion, For The Gov By GEORGE BOWLES Arundel Newspaper* Writer Gov. John N. ualton's industrial development mission to Europe is a constructive enterprise and is. no doubt, worth the S30.000 it will cost the Virginia taxpayers. Its purpose is to drum up foreign investments in the Old Dominion, thereby both strengthening the state’s economy and contributing in a small way to an easing of the nation’s perennial balance of payments deficit. The governor and his party departed April 20 on the 12day trip. Their itinerary included Belgium, Germany, Danmark and Sweden. Accompanying the governor are Mrs. Dalton; Larry Murphy, Dalton’s senior executive assistant; J. Frank Alspaugh, director of the Virginia Division of Industrial Development; State Trooper Sergeant C. K. Highsmith, an aide; Mason Carbaugh, state Commissioner of Agriculture, and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce C. Gottwald. Mr. Gottwald is president of the Ethyl Corporation and chairman of the governor’s Advisory Board on Industrial a Development. The state is footing the bill for the official members of the delegation, but Mrs. Dalton and the Gottwalds are travelling at their personal expense. Interestingly, on the day the group arrived in Belgium, the governor’s office announced it had received word the British firm of Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd. planned a $30 million dollar expansion of its plant in Chesterfield County. While no claim was made that the present trip had anything to do with the announcement, it could not have been better timed to point up the value of such overseas forays, or to mute any possible criticism of them. This rather protracted introduction is necessary because it underscores the main theme of the Dalton Administration. Calvin Coolidge once said, “The business of this country is business.” Likewise, for Dalton, the main preoccupation of his governorship is business. We hasten to add that this is not said in a spirit of criticism. Certainly the health of the economy of the state and the prosperity of her people are proper subjects of constant gubernatorial concern. But our point is that there are other subjects, equally important, which are also a part of the responsibilities of his office and which would benefit from similar personal attention. Hence, we venture a modest suggestion. We would like to see the governor make a 12-day tour around Virginia, or a longer one if possible. We would like to see him drop in, unannounced, for informal visits to primary and secondary schools and classrooms, state hospitals, institutions of higher learning and correction institutions. We would like to see him take the time to chat with teachers and students, patients and doctors, inmates and prison guards. To be sure, every two years the governor and the “money” committees of the General Assembly make pilgrimages to correctional facilities and other state institutions, but on these he is accompanied by an entourage worthy of the Queen of Sheba. He gets carefully orchestrated and well prepared tours of the places visited, and meticulously rehearsed briefings from the top officials involved. It must be noted here that Dalton has been remarkably faithful to his campaign pledge to hold “Peoples Days” around the state. With his cabinet, he has conducted a series of town hall type meetings to which members of the public have been invited to come and air their views. Unfortunately, the history of these meetings has been that they serve mainly as a forum for special interest groups, zealots' for'br against one cause or another and some certifiable kooks. All too seldom have those appearing been individual citizens with thoijghtful comments or suggestions to offer the Governor. What we have in mind is rather different. He would hop in a car with his security guard and perhaps a cabinet secretary or two, and go calling on the people he was elected to serve. He would not be asking them to come to him, as they must in his meetings. And on his way between stops, he might pause at country stores, have a coke and a can of sardines and listen to the discourses on the real “State of the Commonwealth” which he would be certain to hear. What a block-buster of a morale builder this kind of thing would be for the teachers, students and others whom he might visit. And what a block-buster of an education it would be for the governor! In terms of dividends to the state, the yield could be at least as great as, say, a visit to a factory in Sweden or a hog farm in Belgium. Travel Drop Continues Out-of-state passenger car travel on Virginia’s major highways dropped almost 10 per cent in March from the corresponding month in 1979. The drop contributed to an overall decline of 3.04 per cent in travel on the state’s interstate, arterial, and primary highways. It was the largest monthly decline since the 3.1 per cent October drop and marked the 10th consecutive month that travel has declined, the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation said today. Travel by all passenger cars dropped 1.88 per cent from March, 1979. Virginia passenger car travel was down 1.3 per cent and out-ofstate passenger car travel was off 9.72 per cent. Commercial travel also showed a substantial decrease, 5.89 per cent, when compared to March of the preceding year. The travel analysis was compiled from traffic counts taken at 192 locations on Virginia’s major highways, according to J. P. Mills Jr., the department’s traffic and safety engineer.

Sr. 10 YEARS AGO School Budget Cuts Proposed (Continued from Page 3) half of that will come back the first year,” he said. “It pretty much pays its way after the first year, based on other counties around here,” he added. State reimbursement is lower during the first year, he explained, because the rate is figured on the depreciation of the automobile. Addressing salaries, Cox reported that the preliminary budget includes 12 per cent increases for all pay scales controlled by the board of supervisors. He noted that salaries of the commissioner of revenue and county photo/Lee Galleher HOUNDS BOUND from the starting line at Sunday’s race at Thornton Hill Farm to pursue the drag over the course. Placing first was Dolly, owned by Kelly Corbin of Culpeper with 100 points; second was Singer, owned by Tommy Olinger of Remington; Crook belonging to Willie Fox of Remington was third and Jack Bruce’s Nancy was fourth. (Sperryville.) Dolly received the challenge trophy given by Mrs. Stewart Wells in memory of her late husband. 7 treasurer—both set by the state—will jump from $12,281 to $19,500. In the preliminary budget, Cox listed the commonwealth’s attorney salary at $25,000, approximately double the $12,652 figure for the current year. He noted that the supervisors have discretionary power over this amount and must pay only the state minimum of $18,000. In other salaries set by the state, the sheriff will go from $12,445 to $18,500 and the total for deputies from $36,551 to $46,500. Beginning this year the state will pay the total salaries of law enforcement personnel, including sheriff, deputies and commonwealth’s attorney. Luke noted after the work session that salaries of noninstructional school personnel—administrators, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers and aides—had also been upped from 9 to 12 per cent in the preliminary budget. According to school board chairman Beverly Massie, raising the salaries of all school employees by the same percentage as the 12 percent teachers will receive will cost a total of $10,248. Little Change / With the exception oC4ne proposed school budget, departments showed^ only minor increases in Projected expenses. ' The county’s contribution to the Health Department went from $22,828 in 1979-80 to $26,794 for the coming year. There was no change in cost of the county engineer’s office, an increase of $870 for zoning administration, a decrease of $100 for the planning commission, no change for the board of zoning appeals and an increase of SI70 for garbage collection and maintenance of the county landfill. Under maintenance of buildings and grounds, the major increase was for alterations of buildings from SI2,000 this year to $35,000 proposed for 1980-81. The total welfare department budget increased slightly by a $2,480 from $172,588 in 1979-80 to $175,068 proposed for the coming fiscal year. In the preliminary budget, the county’s contribution to the library will increase by $367 while the local allocation for mental health and mental retardation services will increase by $1,021 over the current year. Cox’s preliminary budget lists a decrease in revenue sharing funds of $30,000, equivalent to 20 cents on the tax rate, he noted. He predicted, however, that funds from this source will pick back up. In a final remark, Cox reported that increased fuel coits are driving budget totals up everywhere. Hikes in the price of gas and in ^ Art Classes Alfour-week childrens' art clasl will be offered by Sursum Corda School from May SUo 26. The class will be held Yrom 3:30-5 p.m. Mondays.

Soil Week Observed The local observance of Soil Stewardship Week will | be held in Rappahannock County on May 11-18, according to Raymond R. Kite, Chairman of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. This special time, beginning with the fifth Sunday after Easter and continuing through the sixth, is a reminder that soil and all the bountiful resources associated with it warrant the best in creative conservation and considerate management. The prime concern of the Conservation District is to encourage an ever-growing participation by all Americans in this annual recognition of the continuing importance of thoughtful stewardship. The Culpeper District locally distributed over 9,200 pieces of literature, including booklets, program inserts, educational supplements and posters. Through the response of clergymen and laymen in dispensing this material, these fcombined efforts have allowed many to share in a sense of personal responsibility under God for the care of soil, water anO other vital elements making up our environment. ++++ Nature’s laws affirm instead of prohibit. If you violate her laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman. —Luther Burbank heating fuel are particularly playing havoc with school budgets, he added. Asked after the work session about the possibility of a tax increase, Luke acknowledged that the county’s rate will probably have to go up—at least slightly—even if surplus funds are used to pay operating costs in 1980-81. With the reassessment next year, he said, the revenue generated by local property taxes can’t exceed fhis year’s levy. Any deficit between revenue and expenses not made up now will have to wait until 1982, he concluded. Clothing Donations Requested Fauquier Community Action Inc. welcomes donations of clean mended clothes in reasonably current styles for distribution to persons in need. Because of limited storage space, contributions can be accepted only at the three community centers—at Bealeton on Mondays, Midland Wednesdays and Rectortown the first Thursday of each month.

Letters Crusade Time To the editor: This is the time of year the American Cancer Society makes its plea to the general public for funds to help carry on its research and continue the services it provides to cancer patients everywhere. Approximately 100 women and men are taking time out from their busy schedules to go door to door throughout this county between now and May 31. In rural Rap* pahannock, this means a lot of legwork, time and precious gasoline expended in the effort to ihake the drive for funds a success. For those who may not know, the local chapter of the ACS maintains items which are available on loan, and free, to any cancer patient who requests them. There are three hospital beds, aids of various types-such as wheelchair, walker, hygiene items. A call to Mrs. Biddle at 675-3449 or 987-8390 will have immediate response. While strides are being made in the search for cures, and in the knowledge gained, much remains to be done. Please help by welcoming the volunteer when he or she appears at your door. Don Mank, Chairman Cancer Crusade Pauline Bruce, Co-Chairman Gratified To the editor: I would like to thank Mr. Don Bomberger and his wife, Judy, for providing a golden opportunity for my son and all the other students who participated in the “Hello, Dolly” production. The long hours of practice and exhiliration of a successful performance provided a chance for these students to develop some personal pride and motivation. Who knows—some student may have discovered his life’s worth and ambition. Equal thanks are extended Mrs. Lilo Foster for teaching those boys they didn’t have two left feet. The support from other faculty members is commendable. Citizens of Rappahannock County are blessed to have these individuals. A Thankful Parent Commended To the editor: I want to commend the Rappahannock News for the fine article in last week’s edition about Pat Helmer. As the mother of one of the girls who became a first class scout, I know that my daughter would have given up Girl Scouts long ago if it hadn’t been for the interest and encouragement of Mrs. Helmer. I’m sure the parents of the other girls share my appreciation for the many hours Pat has given to our children. Too often the leader of a troop goes without recognition for the great amount of time and energy she spends on behalf of her scouts. I’m very happy that this paper has given its readers some background information about Pat Helmer. Her efforts on behalf of scouting have made a lasting impact on many girls in this county. BARBARA Z. DENNIS

‘Tennessee’ Takes Seven Corners By JUNE RUHSAM Arundel Nempapen Writer When Roy “Tennessee” Graham won the owner-rider timber race at Rappahannock Hunt’s point-topoint Sunday on Boca Bird, he also captured the Seven Corner’s championship—something he has been trying to do for eleven years. It was the fifth year of competition for the durable "Bird” who ran in eight of ten series races this year and all but one last year. Going into this final race, Randy Rouse, 10-times winner of the Virginia timber competition, led by two points, but he had to scratch Cousin Wes because of injuries. Another two points behind Boca Bird was David Semmes’ No Answer, so a victory by either Graham or Semmes could have decided the series championship. The race itself was a real cliff hanger, with the lead switching back and forth between Boca Bird and young Peter Winants’ Bristol Glass. Then No Answer, and Peter Winants, Sr.’s First Jim joined them first over the fence in front of the stands and then again over the line fence going up the mountain. Each time the Field came down the mountain, Graham let Boca Bird fly to the inside and gain several lengths on the sharp left-handed turn. He was ahead by four lengths going into the last two fences and romped home six lengths to the good of Semmes’ No Answer. Bristol Glass, in young Winants’ first race between the flags, was a close-up third, followed by father Peter Winants on his First Jim. In spite of the rain, almost 4,500 race race fans, including foxhunters and farmers, came to enjoy the last day of the Virginia spring race season at Thornton Hill Farm’s wild mountainous setting near Sperryville, which began with pair races and ended with the famous hound race. Winner of fast time in the pair race was the Rap" pahannock Hunt team of Sally Cunningham riding Emily and Eva Dahlgren on Tee. Optimum time winners were Jill Steenhuis on Second Change and Robin Rolosson on Magic Oak from Farmington Hunt. Second place for optimum time in the pair race also went to Rappahannock, represented by Richard Wolfe on Revel’s Demon and Dr. Fay Witherell on Annie. It was luck that moved Annie on from chasing cattle to a career on the hunt field. Eh-. Witherell traded local farmer Chris Parrish his first Chianina cow for the little horse two years ago. The cow was a better jumper than the horse at that point, according to Annie’s proud owner. Jeff LeHew on his father’s B. C. Fox won the flat race by three lengths over Joy McKenna on her Cine Again, with James Rowe’s Beau, David Bland riding, only a halt length back. Third race was the Mary D. Slaughter open timber race. Scratches accounted for 15 entries, so that only three went to the post. Score Sheet, the early leader, lost ownerrider George Mahoney after the second fence, but the remaining two ran a good match race, jumping together over several fences. Then Rilla Ledgard’s Woodstock Nation, winner of three ladies’ races and third in the Eustis Cup, led by four lengths going into the penultimate fence. Upon landing he slid and fell. Rider Don Yovanovich caught him remounted and finished second behind Melvin Dutton’s owner-ridden Gamma Man, who cantered down to the finish. The ladies’ race also decided the season’s champion. Patti Cassel set the pace with Donna Truslow’s Honey’s Mom (a close second in the mare competition this year and winner in 1979) picking up speed down the mountain and hugging the inside of the sharp left turn. She won by 12 lengths over Susan Sutula on her Too Far Gone. Third was Shelley O’Higgins on Amberson Place, whose two points thus gained were enough to give her the season’s championship over Cassel, the winner the past three years. Next was the open hurdle race which gave winner Royal Creed the mare championship. Chris Kolb had Will O’Keefe’s Noble Jay mare forwardly placed throughout the mile and a third race, passing the leader New World III in the stretch to cross the wire A half length ahead of Randy Waterman's Pueblo Hundindo, ridden by Mark Stickley. Third was Mrs. Jean Schulze’s New World III, Don Yovanovich up. The Rappahannock pony race was run in three divisions. First to go were the horses. Rog Smithwick on Mrs. T. A. Randolph’s Anvil (by The Hammer of course) was the wire-to-wire winner by two lengths over Alex “Muffin” Day riding Scholarship Card and Game PARTY Sponsored by Rappahannock Woman's Club FRIDAY, MAY 9th 7:30-11 p.m. at the Flint Hill Fire Hall Bring your own cards or games BENEFIT: Scholarship for RCHS Senior for vocational school or further training $2.00 per person—Refreshments Pilgrim’s Progress. Last Kan bolted off course, losing owner-rider James Lawrence. In the large pony division Dawn Dugan had Stormy Weather off to a fast start, opening up eight lengths immediately, to win by a length over the rapidly closing Lil’ Bit, ridden by Amy Ruff. Third was Charles Graham on his Red Raven. James Lawrence vindicated himself by winning the small pony section on his Lil Fritz, passing the leader Thunder, ridden by Ann Gold, who was second by three lengths. Robert Rapp’s Joy was third, followed by Kelly Smithgall on Velvet. All junior competitors were given trophies. Off and running on the lead of the owner-rider hurdle race was Max Lammers’ Garden Games, with the rest of the five-horse field hot on his heels. Then Roy Graham’s Man of Rhythm pushed his way to the front at the third and the pace quickened. At the third last of eleyen fences Joanne’s Brother gained the lead and maintained it to cross the wire three lengths to the good of Jay Barr’s Pill Mill, who came on with a rush in the stretch. Third was Garden Games. Larry LeHew’s appropriately named Lucky and Bold, son Jeff LeHew up, was awarded the New Mount Marshall trophy for ownerrider foxhunters in a walkover because it was the only horse of 12 entered not to scratch. Winding up the afternoon’s sport was the unique hound race, open to hounds belonging to members of the Northern Virginia Foxhunters Association or individuals in Rappahannock Hunt territory, but not to hounds from recognized packs. More than 40 hounds, numbers painted on their sides, ran off after the scent laid over the mountainside course. The winner was Kelly Corbin’s Susie, who won in 1978 also. Tommy Olinger’s Singer was second, followed by Raid Portfow’s Thunder, Jack : Bruce’s Lucy and Tommy Olinger’s Cyclone.

Loan Program Extended President Carter has signed legislation extending the Farmers Home Administration Economic Emergency program until September 30, 1981. The program was due to expire on May 15 this year. E. A. Ragland, Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) State Director said, “President Carter’s action will enable us to continue the Economic Emergency (EE) program, not only through the remainder of this year but through the next fiscal year as well. Although the EE program was not due to end until May 15, we were just about out of funds when the President signed the bill on March 30." The EE program provides direct or guaranteed loans to farmers and ranchers who suffer economic hardship because of area or national economic conditions beyond their control. FmHA provided $35,731,420 in Economic Emergency assistance to Virginia farmers last year. + Red Cross ready Ragland said the new law immediately increases the ceiling on outstanding principal for EE loans nationwide from $4 billion to S6 billion. FmHA has already obligated the S4 billion authorized under the Agriculture Credit Act of 1978. The additional $2 billion will be allocated to the states, about half of it for use this year.

The story of Ruth Keyser’s recent adventure at the dentist’s office is the kind of item that Ripley’s Believe It or Not prints in the Sunday papers. Or better yet, it would make a wonderful testimonial on the multiple uses of clothes pins. Week before last, Mrs. Keyser had a tooth pulled—a common enough occurrence. But here’s the catch. She went through the ordeal without novacaine, without gas, without any pain killers at all except for a single clothespin dangling from her ear lobe. “I have to say that the tooth was slightly loose,” Mrs. Keyser explained. She’d been wiggling it back and forth for several days before she decided it ought to come out and made an appointment with her dentist. The dentist examined the tooth and got ready to give Mrs. Keyser a shot of novacaine. She stopped him just in time. “I’m sensitive to novacaine. I do funny things—swell up—all kinds of things,” she explained. Previously, when she had her wisdom teeth extracted, it involved a drive from her home in Washington into Northern Virginia to a dentist who could put her to ENJOYING A HEARTY CHAT at the Rappahannock Races Sunday were Jack Miller, left, and Oliver Durant II.

When she reminded her regular dentist about her reaction to painkillers, “he looked at me and grinned,” Mrs. Keyser recalled. “He asked me if I’d seen the show on TV—"It’s Incredible’’ —where they pulled someone’s tooth with a clothespin on their ear.” Mrs. Keyser had missed the show but was game to try the experiment. Her dentist went to work with the clothespin first, attaching it tightly to her ear lobe, and then attacked the tooth with his pliers. “We laughed and FireRescue The Sperryville Rescue Squad was on stand -by April 27 for the Rappahannock Point-to-Point races.

He didn’t use a thing besides the clothespin except to put some stuff on to stop the bleeding after the tooth was out.” While there was no pain from the extraction, the clothespin "hurt like the very dickens,” Mrs. Keyser reported. According to her dentist, use of the clothespin involves the same principles as acupuncture—just minus the needles. The dentist was as pleased as his patient with the painless tooth removal. According to Mrs. Keyser, she was the first person he’s tried the technique on. Asked if she’d do it again, Mrs. Keyser just laughed. "I certainly hope I don’t have to have any more teeth taken out.” As for trying the trick for fillings, “I’d have to think about that,” she concluded.— D. H. Spc. Cook Assigned Spec. 4 Calvin A.

“Hello Dolly” Played To Perfection By R CHS ByRICKTAGGS Rappahannock New* Special Writer With an eye on the target for casting, Don Bomberger directed talented and welldrilled students from Rappahannock County High School in a surpassingly well done rendition of “Hello, Dolly” presented April 18 and 19. Director Bomberger’s cast, supported by a hard-working and creative production crew, bottled the necessary human chemistry to create theater magic. Rappahannock County can be proud of the fine tradition of theater which RCHS has established in recent years. Along with fine traditions go fine philosophies and a fine philosophy toward life is what “Hello, Dolly” is all about. Thornton Wilder, whose play “The Matchmaker” this musical is based on, makes the same point in all his work: that we’ve all got to rejoin the human race. In "Our Town,” he said you can’t go to the grave with the dead, you have to stay with the living. And in “The Skin of Our Teeth,” his constant message was that through the ages—ice, stone and dinosaur—as long as mankind sticks together, we will survive. “Hello, Dolly’s” give-life-achance message surfaces through the sassy personality of Dolly Gallagher ‘Levi, a widow involved in countless respectable trades whose specialty is match-making. She attempts to marry off everyone in the show, especially herself. The object of her affection is millionaire Horace Vandergelder, a sort of human Scrooge McDuck, complete with typical aversion for the working class. The other half of the plot concerns the giddy adventures of two of Vandergelder’s underpaid clerks who decide to sneak off to Manhattan for the first fling of their lives—and meet a lovely milliner (another widow) and her pretty, somewhat hysterical assistant. Strutting Dolly Dolly was energetically and convincingly portrayed by Dee Dee Grant, who injected vitality into this tum-of-thecentury widow without conventional means of earning an income. Ms. Grant strutted around the stage, her flailing fingers continaully dipping into her black purse and extracting business cards promoting various and unusual services: matchmaker, ear piercer, replugger of pierced ears, reducer of varicose veins —anything to eke out an existence. Ms. Grant convincingly projected Dolly’s inner strengths and when she made up her mind to get Mr. Vandergelder, we knew she would, for Dolly is a winner and so is Ms. Grant. Two small drawbacks noted: (1) During the courtroom scene when Dolly adlibbed to the audience, she went out of character. This part is written into the play but it distracted from the haughty, assured attitude Dolly displayed toward the judge. (2) During the performance, Ms. Grant was forced to struggle through songs written beyond her register. She should be complimented for the courage she displayed coping BEST OF BREED M MOWER-CONDITIONERS Hesston 1070 Designed for small fields. • w**» *ir* -»»>— • New* teg dumnar condiboawr retti let we cnmUmwt cf^T«» agg&utcTV- tflPss • «™>ly as y~i warn 24 Month Warranty • 7'J" cutting width.

He made the most of the one song allotted him, “It Takes a Woman,” in which he emphatically expounded his outlook regarding females: “A man wants a fragile woman to bring the sweet things in life.” Slowly stripping off his rigid manner and stern facade, Mr. Bywaters let the audience know that Vandergelder’s brain would soon be filled with thoughts of a woman neither fragile nor sweet—Dolly. Screwball Comedy Rusty Settle and Ginger Eidson portrayed a young couple who desire that holiest of unions—matrimony. The parts were small but their masterful handling made their presence largely felt. Ms. Eidson was a scream as a scatterbrained, hyperemotional ocean of tears. Her hacking wail reminded me of the days of Carole Lombard and the best of screwball comedy. A major portion of this musical has to be carried by the demanding roles of Mr. Vandergelder’s clerks. Brian Fitzek as Cornelius Hackle and Chris Hitt as Barnaby Tucker admirably rose to the occasion. Their antics as the two men who discover changed ambitions and wider horizons let the audience know that something dull had ended and that something awkward but excitingly new was beginning. The way these two young men played off each other was situation comedy of the highest order. It should also be noted that Mr. Fitzek has a pleasantly toned voice, the limitation of which he never exceeded. Sharon Settle as Irene Malloy and Dawn Watson as Minnie Fay were stunners as -the two hat-shop women who became involved with the Laurel and Hardy-type clerks from Yonkers. Miss Settle, with a green eye shadow aglow, brightly colored pink hat and turned up nose, delivered a plaintive interpretation of “Ribbons Down My Back.” Her phrasing of the song was right on target. Favorite Performer My favorite performance of the night was given by Tanya Brown. When Miss Brown stormed on stage, //shc brought with her a charged emotional presence. Her portrayal of Ernestina Money as every woman who has ever reached out to identify with an unconventional man was just perfect. She painted a striking image with her joking and barking sarcastic asides. In minor speaking parts, Judith Bloomer, Joe McCullough, Doug Nichols, Eric Niskanen, Tony Armentrout, Harvey Gordon, Bob Baines and Craig Kenyon all added to the production. This musical has three dancing peaks and all of them were admirably styled and executed by the cast. Especially riotous was “the Waiters’ Gallop,” a choreographed number that included tumbling, summersaulting and Rappahannock’s own version of the Russian sailor’s dance. Special recognition is due Lilo Foster for giving a lilt, a beat and a pace to these intricate production numbers. A special congratulations was earned by the 26 extras who appeared as waiters and townspeople. The full chorus sounded especially sweet on “It only Takes a Moment.” There were “moments,” however, when the male portion of the choir—while reaching for high notes—dropped a full octave, sounding as though instant adolescence had arrived en masse. As with all productions of this sort, there was the usual bumping into each other and sheepish grins nervously provided by the extras plus the traditional salt-in-cokes and water-on-chairs shenanigans. Due to Judy Bomberger’s accident, Raye Rector, with only one week’s notice, carried the night with her capable piano playing. Robin Dexter on flute and Cathy and Donna Lowe’s blaring trumpets added zest. Musical direction was under the supervision of the capable and talented Mrs. Bomberger. The costumes were perfect for the period as were the props and scenery built by the school’s vocational classes directed by Skip Ford. The wise philosophy and joyful spirit of Thornton Wilder was alive and well and living in Rappahannock County High School’s production of "Hello, Dolly.” Seniors Host Special Dinner The Area Agency of Aging’s meals program in Rappahannock sponsored a parent-child banquet for senior citizens at Hampton Inn last weekend. Borrowing a theme from parent-child affairs held by the Boy Scouts but with the roles reversed, parents invited their children to come kmi see where they meet th'eir friends and have lunch three days a week. According to site supervisor Faye Crescenti, 73 persons attended the baked chicken dinner, prepared by Hampton Inn proprietor Millie Cebula.

Bill Anderson hit a single to bring Aylor around, ending the game at 9-6 in Rappahannock’s favor. The Panther’s had caught William Monroe off guard seven times with stolen bases. Gary Leake was the winning pitcher, allowing only eight hits in six innings. Jeff Jenkins had an outstanding offensive game with three stolen bases and three RBIs. He was three for four at the plate. Lon To Warren Also last week, the Panthers lost a tough one to Warren County in a shut-out, 5-0. Both teams had outstanding defensive games but the Panthers managed only two hits in the deciding factor. Jeff Jenkins got a single in the fifth inning and Bill Anderson hit a double in the sixth. A first class performance was turned in by Warren County’s third baseman who had three homeruns and four RBIs. JV Stages Comeback There was joy in Mudville last Friday when the Rappahannock J.V. Panthers came back from a thirteen point deficit against the Page Panthers to win 17-16. Page looked as if they had it in the bag in the top of the second inning when they led 13-0. But Rappahannock showed some scoring drive of their own and cut the edge to 13-9 at the end of the second inning. Page scored two more times in the third inning to make it 15-9. RCHS challenged again with a run in the fourth, and two more in the fifth, to bring the score to 12-15. Mike Brown didn’t pull a Casey at the bat Friday Astronomical Rarity Occurs On Sunday, May 4, Mars and Jupiter will be aligned in the evening sky for the third time since December, forming a triple conjunction. A conjunction occurs when any two planets appear to meet or closely pass one another. The last triple conjunction of Mars and Jupiter occurred almost 150 years ago in 1836-7. As viewed from earth, Mars passed by Jupiter, moving eastward, and formed the first conjunction of the two planets on December 13, 1979. When earth overtook Mars in its orbit, Mars appeared to drift westward—in a retrograde (backwards) loop—passing by Jupiter for a second time on March 2. Resuming its eastward drift. Mars will pass 0.8 degree north of Jupiter on May 4, marking the third conjunction. This is the closest distance between the planets of the three conjunctions. Through the month of May, Jupiter and Mars can be seen high above the southern horizon, in the constellation of Leo the Lion, as a bright pair of objects in the evening sky. evening. In the sixth inning, with two runners on and the score 14*15, he stroked a double. Wayne Atkins, coming from second, tied the score, and the determined Mike Fletcher took off from first with no intentions of stopping until he was home. He scored the winning run, giving the Panthers their first lead which they never relinquished. Page tried to come back and almost succeeded but Panthers catcher Tobey Schreiner picked off a Page base runner going to third. In tagging the runner out third baseman Eric Bear sacrificed his foot to metal spikes to stop the scoring threat. Mike Leake left the mound in the second inning for first base but came back as pitcher in the third. After his return, he gave up only one run. The Panthers’ strong hitting, fast base running, good coaching, and determination brought them back to move their record to 5-1. Completes Training Navy Seaman Recruit Julia L.
