Reeve, Massie Named To School Board By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer Meeting Monday night, the electoral trustees returned incumbent chairman Beverly Massie to the Rappahannock school board for a four-year term as representative from Jackson District. Then, in a split decision, the trustees replaced Allen Stokes, the current member from Piedmont, with Nancy Reeve. In nominating Mrs. Reeve, Holly Pendleton said that she was a native of Rappahannock County, educated in the county’s public schools before attending Radford College and the University of Maryland. A five-year resident of Piedmont District, Mrs. Reeve has five children, three currently enrolled in public school, one who will start kindergarten next year and the fifth just an infant. “Nancy Reeve is conCard Party The Rappahannock Woman’s Club is sponsoring a Card and Game Party Friday, May 9 at the Flint Hill fire hall beginning at 7:30 p.m. Bring your own cards or games.

He noted also that she’s a good business woman as evidenced by her employment in a responsible position at the local Welfare Department for the past six years. Frances Lyne added her support for Mrs. Reeve. “She’s well aware of the value of a dollar. She’s ft landowner...a very responsible person and I admire her greatly. Involved In Schools “The school board is overloaded with people who are not directly involved with the schools,’’ Mrs. Lyne continued. “Only one member (Charles Eld red) has children in the schools." This lack of direct involvement has an effect on the board member’s participation in school activities, according to Mrs. Lyne. “At Sunday’s art show, there was only one school board member here (at the elementary school) and that was the member with children in the schools,” she reported. Judy Harrison and Jackie Holland, both from Sperryville, added their support for Mrs. Reeve. “Incidently, all three of the trustees have heard about Mrs. Reeve being on the board,’’ trustee chairman Ned Johnson noted, adding that the members had been contacted by interested citizens and discussed Mrs. Reeve’s nomination with each other. “I would like to point out that this is very nice—people coming out to support Mrs. Reeve—but we get recommendations from both sides,” Johnson said after no further names were recommended. "There have been sonae suggestions lately about changes in the school board—some quite drastic,” he continued. “If a member hasn’t been on too long and has been doing a satisfactory job, we’re not given to taking that person out,” Johnson said, noting that it takes a while for a member to become familiar with school board duties and procedures. Indicating their readiness to vote, trustees Christine Johnston and Granville Eastham nominated and seconded Mrs. Reeve for a four-year term from Piedmont District. “Are there any other nominations?” asked Johnson. ‘‘This is a nomination, not a recommendation,” he reminded the other two trustees but was met with silence. "Are you ready to vote?” the chairman asked. Both Eastham and Mrs. Johnston voted in favor of the nomination with the chairman opposed. Beverly Massie’s reappointment to the school board was unanimous Added Revenue Found For 1980-81 Budget By DAPHINK HU IXJHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Wally Cox was back before the Rappahannock supervisors at Monday’s board meeting with changes to the proposed 1980-81 county budget—all on the revenue side. Counting the additional income he scratched together, Cox’s preliminary figures call for a tax rate of $4.90, down 60 cents from his estimate of last week but still way over the current levy of $4.20 per $100 of assess value. “Our general instructions to Mr. Cox were to find a way to peel this down to something reasonable,” noted supervisor chairman E. P. Luke. To keep taxes at the current level, Cox explained, it is necessary to increase revenue and-or cut expenses to come up with $190,000. The budget Cox brought before the board on Monday still totaled $2,756,602 in outlay—an increase of approximately 17 per cent from this year—but included more than $70,000 more in revenue than last week’s projections. To reach a tax rate of $5.40, Cox originally proposed using $75,000 cf the county’s $193,000 surplus. In order for the rate to come down to $4.20, the accountant took out another $70,000 chunk from the accumulated surplus, bringing the balance down to $71,000. In defense of reducing the surplus, Cox predicted that federal revenue sharing payments will resume, bringing the surplus back up to around $100,000 with payments expected in Janauary and April of next year. He noted also that nothing has been budgeted for the final revenue sharing installments for the current year. In addition to using surplus funds. Cox reported that he’d upped the sales tax revenue estimate by $30,000 from the original $245,000 expected by the school board. "I think we’ve stretched revenue estimates about all we can now,” he said, adding that the $4.90 rate will generate $776,000 in local taxes. He noted that he’d made no reductions in the proposed county budget. “For any real deductions, there are only so many places to get it,” he said. The budget includes $35,000 for remodeling the court house. “That’s 20 cents on the rate,” Cox said, explaining that 10 cents on the levy brought approximately $1,600 in revenue. “It will take another 10 cents to set up the sheriffs’ cars,” he continued, referring to the appropriation—half reimbursable by the state—to provide three county cars for sheriffs deputies. “Other than that, there's the school budget,” Cox concluded. Luke suggested the supervisors hold a joint meeting to inform the school board of the county’s financial condition. "We need to tell them that we’d like to see some cuts in this budget," he explained. “Let’s wait until we get further on the way,” suggested H. B. Wood. “Let’s see what we can do first." following statements of support for the incumbent chairman from Jackson District parents Daphne Hutchinson, Lois Settle, Olga Fontaine and Valerie Jones. On June 17, Rappahannock voters will go to the polls to decide on the method of school board appointments in a referendum ordered by. Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson. At issue is whether or not appointments should be made by the board of supervisors rather than by the electoral trustees. Should the referendum pass, the supervisors will have the authority to fill any vacancies (Continued on Page 10) By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The proposed school budget currently before the board of supervisors allows for per pupil expenditures of 1,289 and 47 cents, superintendent William Bloomer acknowledged at a special budget session on Wednesday evening. This figure is well over the minimum per pupil expenditure set by the state Standards of Quality (SOQ). In total, the proposed 198081 budget passed by the school board carried S241.708 more in local funds than is mandated by the state, according to Bloomer. At earlier meetings, Bloomer had warned the board that the proposed budget fell short of the state SOQ minimum by some $38,000. In response, the school baord added a double modular unit for the elementary school—after previously turning down a single unit—only to be told that the $40,650 for the double trailer was classified as capital outlay and thus couldn't be counted towards operational expenses that determine per pupil outlay. Wednesday, Bloomer admitted his error and, using slide projector and screen, showed the board members the correct process for figuring per pupil expenses. In addition, he explained how his mistake had occurred. Bloomer noted that he’d been given the format presented to the board only last week while attending a superintendents’ conference in Roanoke. To determine per pupil outlay, state categorical funds for special programs ($271,985), federal categorical aid ($71,628) and receipts from other funds(-o-) are subtracted from total operational expenses ($1,796,846). The result ($1,453,233) is then divided by the average daily attendance in Rappahannock schools (1,127). Following this procedure, per pupil expenditure comes out as $1,289 and 47 cents. Bloomer said his mistake occurred when he added in approximately $258,000 as receipts from other funds. “This is the category where we had misunderstandings and misrepresentations,’’ Bloomer said. He explained that sales tax and wine tax revenue—more than $258,000 this year—was subtracted along with federal and state categorical funds before dividing by the average daily membership. By including sales and wine tax as other funds and figuring the amount into the formula. Bloomer said, he brought the estimate on per pupil expenditure to approximately $1,060. The superintendent noted that his original computations were based on information he received from the state Department of Education and on past practices. Bloomer said later that he’d checked with Richmond after learning that accountant Wally Cox’s preliminary budget work showed Rappahannock well over the minimum per pupil expenditure. “I began asking more specific questions,” he said. He found that wine and sales Church Camp Opposed By Local Residents When does a church no longer classify as a church and fall instead into the category of campground? Norma Langbein raised this question and others at Monday’s meeting of the Rappahannock supervisors. She came before the board to ask that the members attend Thursday’s 9 a.m. session of the Board of Zoning Appeals when the BZA will act on a special use permit application and variance request from Nationwide Pentecostal Evangelical Association. Rev. L. D. Savage of Castleton has applied for the - permit and-or variance to provide food and overnight camping facilities on Route 622 "to accommodate worshipers who attend services in a seasonal camp.” The legal notice of the application does not include information on when the camp will be held. Last year, zoning administrator Evan McNear Summer Horse Camp Planned Rappahannock’s 4-H Horse and Pony Club will hold a special meeting this Thursday, May 8, at 7:30 p.m. in the court house in Washington for members and their parents. Up for discussion are plans for attending local, in-county riding clinics and camps scheduled by leader Jane Naramore for this summer. Sherry Hamill, British Horse Society instructor, will be the guest speaker. In. addition to current members, any interested youngsters, ages nine years and older, are invited to attend with their parents. Another RCHS Space Study School Budget Funds Over SOQ Minimum issued a building permit to the N.P.E.A. to construct a tabernacle, bath house and pavilion. When questioned, he defended his decision not to bring the matter before the BZA on grounds that a church is a use allowed by right in a residential district and therefore, requires no additional approvals. The N.P.E.A. church came up at a BZA meeting last summer only after numerous residents of the area complained about the excessive noise from public address speakers blaring during two weeks of camping and revival services. The board members asked then that Savage be required to obtain BZA approval before the next camping season. Different Than Church ‘‘No one objects to a church but this is a little different,” Langbein told the supervisors Monday. Noting that her home was four houses away from the nineacre church campsite, she maintained that activities there would prevent her from being able to sell her property. ‘‘It’s changed the whole character of the residential area. It’s devalued property,” she said. She emphasized that the camp will serve people from all over the country, not just congregations of local Pentecostal churches. “Last year, we had campers from Texas and Kentucky going up and down Route 729,” she recalled. Langbein reported that during the two weeks of revival services, area residents were plagued by noise broadcast over the public address system well into the night and by lights shining directly on nearby houses. • “Can the land handle the sewage? Can the sheriff take on a Jim Jones type of situation?,” she asked. In addition to the bath house and camper hook-ups, the property includes a pavilion that will seat at least 1,000, according to Langbein. “I don’t know if they knew what N.P.E.A. stood for last year when they issued the building permit,” Langbein continued. “But they should have... There’s money in(Continued on Page 10) Day Camp Help Needed Adult and teenage volunteers are urgently needed to help as leaders for Rappahannock’s 4-H day camp, set this year for July 14-18 at the Hazel River campgrounds in Boston. VP1 extension agent Nancy Secrist, camp organizer for the past three years, will be leaving her job here May 15. Since a replacement won’t be hired in time to plan camp activities, it is imperative that all arrangements be completed before her departure. A meeting will be held in the Extension office in Washington at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 13. Anyone interested in helping with crafts, swimming. life guarding, archery, canoeing, nature studies, fishing, sewing, art, sports or other activities suited to day campers ages 8-13 is invited to the planning session. A separate meeting will be held at the high school for teenagers interested in being junior leaders.

(Apparently, Rappahannock has been making this same error for some time since the revenue page of school budgets for at least the past three years shows sales and wine tax money under miscellaneous funds.) A second error in computation compounded the problem. In the formula used to determine the amount of county funds that must be included in the school budget, the average daily attendance (1,127) must be multiplied by SOQ per pupil expenditure ($1,075) to get the total required in basic education to meet state (Continued on Page 2) Miller Reelected Washington Mayor Newbill Miller was returned to the office of mayor of Washington on a write-in ballot in Tuesday’s municipal election and the five incumbent council members also retained their seats. Bradford Fisher was reelected treasurer of the town with 79 votes. The write-in voting resulted when Miller failed to file and get his name on the ballot after he was given an incorrect form to fill out by an election official. “1 don’t want the townspeople to think that I take the office of mayor lightly,” Miller said. “I consider it serious business and have treated it in that respect for ,„the term 1 have already served.” “I appeared to file along with most of the council members. However, I received the incorrect form and when the error was realized I was out of the state,” said the incumbent. “After returning home, I was notified by phone of the error the day prior to the filing deadline. It slipped my mind until a call from Richmond informed me that I could still make the ballot if I took the papers to Richmond by five o’clock that day. The farm was making too many demands on me to make the journey feasible," continued Miller. Six candidates were -- t MAYOR MILLER seeking the five council seats. The five incumbents, C. E. Giles, Jr., Dorothy Clater, Dorothy Hawkins, Charlie Jenkins and H. T. Updike were reelected. Sheila Estes was the sixth candidate who polled 39 votes. Write-in for council included John Norman with 20 ballots and Florence Tupper with 8. Ellen Manson waged a write-in campaign for major and received 24 votes as opposed to Miller’s winning 57 out of the total 95 cast; 92 in person and 3 absentee. Several ballots were voided and several people received a vote or two for mayor. Broader Insurance Coverage Studied Richard Bowen from Carr and Hyde insurance company gave the supervisors at their Monday meeting a plan for comprehensive insurance coverage that will cost $10,156 in annual premiums. Currently, the county’s only insurance is for damage to buildings in the court house complex, also under a policy with Carr and Hyde at an annual premium of $937. “The big thing is the liability section,” Bowen acknowledged. Under the proposal, members of Rappahannocks local governing bodies will be covered for up to $1,000,000 in case of suit arising from official actions. Premium for the coverage is $2,338. Bowman's proposal also includes general comprehensive liability covering bodily injury or property damage arising from use of premises owned by the county and protection for the county in the event that an accident occurs involving a private automobile driven on county business. In adddition, the Carr and Hyde package provides protection against loss of county records ($15 premium), loss of money or securities ($250 premium), employee dishonesty ($628 premium), forgery ($87 premium), damage to the court house boiler ($339 premium) and medical payments of up to $1,000 for accidents in which the county is not liable (S32 premium). Besides liability, the single largest component of the proposal is for worker's compensation at a premium of $5,211. ‘‘How many people are covered for workmen’s compensation?" asked supervisor H. B. Wood. "All county employees,” Bowen said, explaining that the number of workers was taken from the county’s social security report, covering a payroll of approximately $218,000. He noted that constitutional officers, welfare department employees, library and extension office personnel are all included. “If someone is injured on the job, whether they're parttime or full-time, you’re subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the state of Virginia whether the county is insured or not,” Bowen said. Currently, as the county is without insurance coverage for worker’s compensation, all claims approved by the Virginia Industrial Commission must be paid in full from local funds. Maximum allowable in weekly payments is $175, limited to 500 weeks. There is no ceiling on medical costs. Although the insurance policies were presented as a package, Bowen emphasized (Continued on Page 10)

School Budget Funds Exceed SOQ Minimum (Continued from Page 1) mandates ($1,211,525). Expected sales tax revenue ($263,383) then is subtracted from the basic education total ($1,211,525) and the result ($948,142) multiplied by Rappahannock’s state determined composite index figure of .6541 to reach the required local expenditure—in the county’s case, $620,180. (The composite index figure, based on land values, sales tax revenue and income, reflects what the state sees as the county’s ability to pay for education.) In his original computations, Bloomer incorrectly used sales tax estimates for the fiscal year rather than estimates for the calendar year which are $20,000 higher. The higher the sales tax revenue, the lower the county's required expenditure from local funds will be, according to tne'Stafe forumla. Bloomer reported to the school board on Wednesday that the proposed 1980-81 budget included $861,888 in local funds while the state mandated expenses total only $620,180. Public Apology “The figures used before and those shown you tonight show a discrepancy,” Bloomer acknowledged. “If the errors in calculations have caused any member of Culpeper Art Co. 204 N. Main St. Culpeper, Va. Quaky Antiques Custom Franing the school board embarrassment, I want to publicly apologize,” he concluded. “As one member of the board, I certainly accept Dr. Bloomer’s apology and explanation,” countered Robert Eastham. He went on, however, to read a prepared statement, detailing the history of the proposed 1980-81 budget. But first he reminded the other board members that he had presented figures on per pupil expenditures "correct to the penny" at an April 25 budget work session held by the supervisors. After reviewing all the statements and memos from Dr. Bloomef in which the superintendent incorrectly reported that per puil expenditures in the proposed 1980-81 budget were below the minimum set by the state, Eastham recalled that he’d tried unsuccessfully to challenge the computations. At that same time, he reminded the school board chairman, she had expressed confidence in Bloomer’s figures. (At the April 8 school board meeting, the same session at which chairman Beverly Massie stated support for the superintendent’s computations, Eastham presented his own figures on per pupil expenditures. Those figures were also in error.) Mrs. Massie replied that she’d met for two hours that morning with Bloomer and supervisor chairman E. P. Luke to review the accountants work on the school budget.

Asked why this hadn't been brought to the board’s attention, Luke said he’d never before asked the county’s accountant to determine per student outlay, according to Mrs. Massie. Bloomer explained later that the first budget report on the current school year will be sent to Richmond in May with the final figures on expenditures to go out in July. The state Department of Education doesn’t send word back to a locality unless there's a shortfall in meeting the minimum set by the Standards of Quality. “They don’t care how far you go over,” Bloomer said. He explained that he hadn’t broken down the cost of per pupil basic education in the current budget because he thought the figure was inflated by federal and state categorical funds—not an excess of local money. Responding to Eastham, Mrs. Massie acknowledged that she’d stated her confidence in the superintendent’s computations on the proposed 1980-81 budget. “We have to have confidence in the figures that are supplied to us...The board can question but unless there’s an overlying reason not to believe the figures, we have to have confidence,” she stated. “I deeply regret the error but it’s something we all can learn from...Let’s put it behind us and try to secure the best education with the funds that are available for the children of Rappahannock.” Mrs. Massie reported that the total school hind in the proposed 1980-81 budget amounts to SI,910,281, including S40.6S0 for a double modular unit for the elementary school. “The question now is whether the board is going to take a different stance on the $40,650,” she said. Another Space Study “We have to get the capital improvements off center,” responded Walter Masterson. “The modular units are directly connected with the 'space situation/’ he' Maintained, suggesting’ that Eastham and Allen Stokes conduct a space and maintenance study at the elementary and high schools, with particular emphasis on the condition of the modular units already in use at RCHS. Mrs. Massie reminded the other board members that the trailer included in the 1980-81 budget is for the elementary school’s selfcontained learning disabled class, not the over-crowded high school. She noted that the supervisors had asked for any recommendations on capital outlay by May 15. “I had hoped to wrap up the budget tonight and begin discussion on capital outlay so we could have some figures to give to the supervisors,” she said. Eastham replied that he and Stokes should be able to complete a space utilization and maintenance analysis of both schools and have a report for the rest of the board by Monday, M^y 5. Mrs. Massie asked if the other board members wanted to delay a decision on the i modular units until after the report from Stokes and Eastham. Eastham responded that the supervisors have before them a budget approved by the school board that, even if over the SOQ minimum, is still based on the needs of the school. He added that he would defend the budget “to the last ditch” against cuts by the supervisors, suggesting that the board send a supplementary memo once a decision on the double modular unit is reached. Other Needs There are other issues ■OTMX OF MNMSCMnUTMY POLICY Jtt TO STUOOITS The Wakefield Country Day School Inc., of Huntly, Va. admits students of any race, color, national and athnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

Instead, Mrs. Massie said, there are items that were cut earlier which should be restored. Specifically, she asked the other board members to consider restoring the allocation for psychological services, now cut to $6,000, to at least the current year’s level of $11,404. In addition, she proposed a 12 per cent salary increase for all school employees in place of 12 per cent for teachers and nine per cent for non-instructional staff. A modular unit at the elementary school is required to house LD students currently taught at Piedmont regional school who must be served locally next year, Mrs. Massie continued. And finally, she suggested funds for clerical help for the high school guidance and library departments, a need cited just two weeks ago by the state evaluation committee on high school accreditation. Eastham's reply was to second Masterson’s motion on the space utilization and maintenance analysis for both schools. In addition, he asked that both principals be instructed to give “full, allout cooperation” to himself and Stokes on the project. The motion passed 4-1 with Mrs. Massie alone in opposition. Masterson moved that the budget provide funds for five days of sick leave for each bus driver. The motion passed unanimously. Charles Eldred’s suggestion that the board give serious consideration to Mrs. Massie’s proposals sparked a counter from Eastham. Citing a cost figure of $45 for follow-up psychological testing, he maintained that it would be cheaper to contract with the local mental health clinic for services than to pay a school psychologist. More Hum One Teat Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel tried without success to explain that psychological services involve much more than one followup test for each child in the school’s special programs. Eastham ignored the attempt, cutting McDaniel off each time the assistant superintendent began. Mrs. Massie noted that an administrative review team from the state had cited the elementary school for failure in meeting the 45-day time limit between referral and testing. “We need at least the psychological services we had this year...There’s no way we can expect to cut the psychologist’s hours in half and get the same level of services,” she said. “We didn’t get what we wanted this year,” Eastham argued, pointing to the “gigs” from the review team as evidence. He insisted again that it would be cheaper to enter a contractual agreement with the mental health clinic, using the figure of $45 for follow-up psychological testing as basis. “I’ve not always been wrong,” he reminded Mrs. Massie and repeated a demand for information on exactly how much money for psychological services is needed and for what purposes. Dr. Bloomer explained that services from the mental health clinic would be provided on an hourly basis, even under contract, and that fees for testing, counseling and attending eligibility and placement meetings would be higher than the salary of the school psychologist. In addition, Mrs. Massie noted, children would have to be transported to and from the clinic for services, adding to the cost and creating logistical problems. Only $2,000 In response, Eastham moved that the appropriation for psychologist be increased by S2,000—still $3,500 below this year’s funding level. He repeated his contention that contracting with the mental health clinic would be cheaper than employing a school psychologist. Eastham also stressed that once again, he’d asked for and been refused specific financial information. He called for an immediate end to discussion and a vote on his motion. "Just because you were right on one point,” Mrs. Massie countered, “I don’t think you can expect the board to take your figures without questioning.” She added that Eastham also lacked the authority to cut off discussion on an issue just because he was tired of talking about it. The rest of the board may want further discussion, she said. “It’s more appropriate to maintain the current level (of school psychologist services),” Eldred maintained, suggesting that time devoted to psychological testing be stepped up with a slight reduction in other services to balance. Eastham's motion to add $2,000 passed 3-2 with Eldred and Stokes opposed. His second suggestion, that the board send a memo to the supervisors withdrawing the appropriation for a double modular unit and after the space study report, adding either a single or double trailer, was argued down by the other board members. Supplementary 1980-81 budget requests for five sick leave days for bus drivers, S2.000 for psychological services and $2,000 for consultations with a roofing expert will also be forwarded to the supervisors after a decision on the trailer for the elementary school. In regard to budget supplements, Mrs. Massie reported that the supervisors have already added approximately $10,000 under salaries to allow for 12 per cent increases for all school personnel. Masterson threw his pencil onto the table and stomped to the coffee pot, shaking his head. Eastham also left the CEnTCR Stylist Machine 834 Now only $209.95 With built-in buttonholer, front drop-in bobbin, and 8 built-in Fashion * and FlexlStitch patterns.

Luke is remaking this budget...He’s already trying to run the school system,” Eastham charged. Dr. Bloomer attempted to explain that the supervisors have a legal right either to increase or decrease funds in separate budget categories. Despite the superintendent’s arguments, Eastham continued to insist that the increase was illegal. He did, however, return to his seat with Masterson after the two had poured cups of coffee. In final items, Allen Stokes asked that school board minutes for the past year be copied and distributed to the electoral trustees "for their edification” before the May 5 trustee meeting. Mrs. Massie also read from a copy of a recent Attorney General’s opinion that ruled a commonwealth’s attorney in counties with less than^ 15,000 population is obligated to provide legal service to the school board without supplementary compensation. Payments Extended The new Agricultural Adjustment Act signed recently by President Carter extended the disaster payments program through the 1980 crop year. The ASCS disaster payments program provides crop protection against severe weather conditions and includes provisions for prevented planting and low crop yields. Applications for disaster credit must generally be filed within 15 days after harvest, while evidence of the crop is present. The program authorizes payments to wheat and feed grain producers whose crop yield is less than 60 percent of the established yield times the acreage planted for harvest. Farmers will also be eligible to receive disaster payments when they are prevented from producing any program crop for harvest because of a natural disaster. The disaster payments program covers drought, flood, hail, windstorm, insect infestation. Tom Taylor, County Executive Director for Rappahannock, advises farmers to keep an accurate record of their 1980 crop production and notify the county ASCS office before destroying acreages or planting other than grain crops when a disaster strikes. Taylor also pointed out that farmers who plan to commingle farm-stored commodities which were produced in different crop years should have previous year’s production measured by ASCS before placing the 1980 crops in the same bin. JON A McKAY will attend the state’s first Model Executive Government Conference as the representative from Rappahannock County High School. McKay Chosen For 1st Gov’t Conference . Jona McKay, a junior at J| Rappahannock County High ^ School, has been selected to participate in the first Model Executive Government Conference to be held at the University of Richmond on July 6-10. Jona is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. McKay of Castleton. She is interested in flying, playing the piano, electronics and horseback nding. “The purpose of the program is to give students an opportunity to learn how Virginia’s Executive Branch works,” stated Delegate , Mary Sue Terry, chairman of the conference.

Kulski, now living in Fauquier County, was a Polish freedom fighter. He will be at Front Royal’s Royal Oak Book Store this Saturday to autograph copies of his story, “Dying, We Live.” Local Author At Royal Oak Books “Forty years have now elapsed since the beginning of World War II, yet it is harder than ever to fully perceive and accept the inhumanity of that wartime period. When it was suggested that my personal chronicle should be published, I saw that this should be done for one reason only—to let my experiences stand in memory of my comrades and of the countless other brave people of Warsaw who symbolize the triumph of the human spirit over oppression and terror.” Thus wrote Julian Eugeniusz Kulski on August 1, 1979, the 35th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, in the introduction to his book, Dying, We Live. It has recently been published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New York, and is now on sale at the Royal Oak in Front Royal where Dr. Kulski will be present for a signing on Saturday, May 10, at 3 p.m. Dr. Kulski, now a resident of Orlean and an architect for urban planning, chose to reside in Virginia because it resembles southern Poland between Krahow and the Carpathian Mountains. He has made many guest appearances in recent months to promote his book. In addition to appearing in the April NBC documentary commemorating the Polish Uprising of 1944, he has lectured on college campuses and spoken to area civic organizations. RRTA To Meet The Rappahannock Retired Teachers Association will hold its regular meeting Tuesday, May 13 at 11 a.m. at the Teepee Restaurant in Sperryville. All members are urged to attend and to recruit new members. The meeting will be conducted by Mrs. Arlene L. Wake, President. Bridge Party Mrs. W. H.

He will meet Friday, May 9, with Wakefield School’s history classes. The personal chronicle of a young freedom fighter in Warsaw 1939-1945, Dying, We Live has strong appeal to young people. Julian Kulski, the author of this volume recollecting the holocaust tragedies in Poland affecting Christians as well as Jews, was the son of the Protestant mayor of Warsaw. He joined the freedom fighters at an early age and witnessed the Warsaw ghetto uprising. He served as a messenger between the Polish resistance and the Jewish fighters. Only a teenager then, Kulski was captured by the Gestapo and upon his release fought with the Polish Home Army m August and September of 1944. He compiled this journal of his experiences shortly after the war. His book, fully illustrated with photographs, some never before published, is based on the reminiscences in this journal. There are a number of dimensions in Dying, We Live. First, it is a superb war story which tells itself with the unmistakable ring of truth. It is also the chronicle of a Polish family stubbornly resisting denigration in an increasingly horrible march of events. In another, more poignant way, it is the story of a little boy growing up too fast into a grim soldier, setting courage and love of country against a merciless oppressor. In this sense Dying, We Live is a companion piece to Anne Frank’s famous Diary,—only Julian Kulski fought hard and lived. Dedicated “to my comrades-in arms,” Dying, We Live is one man’s tribute to all who labor in the cause of liberty.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 8,1980 Unequal Treatment Punishment meted out under the Rappahannock school board’s drug and alcohol policy continues to be a travesty of justice. Earlier in the year, a student was suspended for 14 school days. His offense-possession of four and a half ounces of homemade strawberry wine. He was barred from all extra-curricular activities for the remainder of the term. As a further condition of his reinstatement, he was directed to attend counseling sessions on alcohol abuse at the mental health center. During his suspension, the student’s parents fought to have an early hearing on the case by the school board. The board refused, going by a strict interpretation of the drug and alocohol policy which specifically states that discipline cases will be heard at the regular monthly meetings of the board. A special session was denied, even after the parents sought relief through the courts. Last week, two discipline cases involving violations of the drug and alcohol policy were brought before the board at a special meeting called for budget matters. The school board members voted unanimously to reinstate one student after three days of suspension. His violation-possession of a bottle of alcohol at a school function. He was also barred from participation in extracurricular activities, ordered to ride the bus to and from school and directed to attend alcohol counseling at the mental health clinic. A second student was reinstated by unanimous vote after 11 days of suspension. His violation was drug related. He too was barred from extracurricular activities and directed to attend drug counseling sessions at the mental health clinic. The big difference in the three cases is the length of time of the suspension period. One was forced to miss 14 days, one 11 days and one only three days. Is this equal treatment? The school board spent untold hours going over and over their drug policy. With all that effort, it’s a shame they couldn't do any better. This was The News... in Bygone Rappahannock Times. 5YEARSAGO Rappahannock Supervisors were requested to allocate funds for the establishment of an “agency on aging.” This came from Planning District Nine’s Tom Helsel, who was human resources planner, and Chapter 10 Mental Health Board also made a fund request Rappahannock Library personnel were also seeking additional funds to enable the county library to conform to state recommendations.

Robinson Comments On Mission Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson today released the following statment about the aborted U.S. mission that had been intended to rescue approximately SO Americans who are being held captive in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran: “On the basis of what I learned at a White House briefing earlier today, I wish to reiterate my support for what the President tried to accomplish for the nation. It is deeply regretted that this gallant rescue mission was not successful. “Failure of this longplanned attempt, with tragic loss of life, is a bitter national disappointment and embarrassment. Our hopes are that the unfortunate i equipment failures which forced cancellation of the effort, but revealed our intention, will not jeopardize further the chances of getting the hostages home by negotiation or other means. “Restraint on both sides is important to their fate right now. Despite the increased risks produced by revelation of our failed first rescue try, however, we should not rule out the possibility of another attempt—if diplomatic bargaining and economic pressures continue to be unproductive.” Robinson was among approximately 20 Congressmen and Senators called to the White House early today for a briefing on the aborted mission by the President, Secretary of Defense, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He serves in Congress as ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee as well as on the House Appropriations Committee.

About the only thing you can say which is true for all of these folks over 60 is that they were all born in or before 1920. In other words, there simply is no such thing as a typical “older American”. In this community some are well-to-do, some are not so well-to-do, and far too many lack even the financial resources to meet their basic needs for shelter, food, and medicine. Concert The Rappahannock Chorus under the direction of Gloria Harris will present its annual spring concert this Saturday, May 10 at 8 p.m. at the old Washington school building.

Woodards Featured \ In Southern Living Cheri and Martin Woodard of Sperryville are featured in the May edition of Southern Living, a monthly publication that focuses on rural life styles and gourmet cooking. The magazine’s writers have a special regard for Rappahannock County, judging by earlier articles on local businesses and people, including Ruby Jenkins’ museum, Raye Haase’s Nature’s Foods store and furniture craftsman Peter Kramer. After hitting some of the high spots of commercialism in the town of Washington in previous stories, Southern Living moved on in its May issue to Sperryville, a town that “almost begs you to stay; to find a way to make a living just so you can be there.” The short article describes how the Woodards have combined office and home in their rambling two-story house across the street from the town’s post office. It notes that Cheri sells dried and fresh herbs as well as bedding plants at Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques, listing Box 366, Sperryville, Virginia, as the address to write to for a mailorder catalogue. You will find senior citizens holding elected offices, running community businesses, and providing leadership for local church and civic groups. You will also find them living alone in run-down homes where the wind whistles through the cracks and visitors rarely cross the threshold. Some lie ill in area nursing homes or hospitals; others are still competing in local jog-athons, etc. When older people need help because of health problems, disabilities, financial troubles, or emotional difficulties, that help most often comes from caring families. In many cases, however, there is no family or the family members live far away. Some families are limited in the help they can provide because of their own economic problems; other families simply don’t care. In such cases, older people need somewhere else to turnfor assistance, # The Rappahannocf*" Rapidan Area Agency on Aging provides several different srevices for the 1,007 citizens of Rappahannock County who are 60 years of age or older. All of these services are intended to help older persons maintain their health, their mobility, their mental wellbeing and their independence. During the past year, about 200 Rappahannock residents have participated in one or more of the following programs. The Nutrition Services program not only provides a hot lunch three days a week at the Hampton Inn in Washington, but also provides rides to and from the nutrition site, opportunities for those who don’t get out much to socialize, recreation programs, and counseling services. In addition to the 40 seniors who come to the site for lunch, home delivered meals are sent on a regular basis to five folks who are homebound. The Voice Of Experience, a newsletter containing information about programs and local concerns that affect the elderly, is distributed to 155 Rappahannock residents each month. Home Health services are provided by a registered nurse.

She currently checks blood pressures for 62 persons and has a caseload of 11 homebround persons. Through the homemaker service, older workers provide companionship, do grocery shopping, prepare meals, and do light housekeeping for older persons who require such help to stay in their homes. The homemakers work under the supervision of a registered nurse and provide help to people who are not eligible under the Welfare Department but cannot afford to pay for such services themselves. Eight persons in Rappahannock are currently being assisted. Advocacy and Counseling services are provided to persons with individual problems including financial difficulties. Social Security problems, insurance questions, housing problems, etc. Last year 116 cases were handled. Senior I.D. cards are distributed to persons 60 and over to identify them as eligible for Senior Discounts. Local merchants are asked to provide discounts on a voluntary basis. Emergency grants of $50 for fuel or food are made on a one-time basis to older persons suffering from a crisis when no other source of help is available. Home Winterization services are now available for low-income home owners. Winterization includes installation of storm windows, weatherstripping and attic insulation. In Rappahannock, 20 homes were winterized last year. If you would like further information about the Area Agency on Aging or any of its services, call 825-6494, 3470440 or 672-1717.

Letters Political Football To the editor: As a native born citizen of Rappahannock County, I join with the Rappahannock News in urging all citizens to register before May 29 so they may vote in the upcoming referendum on the School Board June 17. A NO vote on June 17 will prevent political control over the education of our school children and keep the children from being made political footballs. The long established policy of Virginia is to keep politics away from education. A NO vote will also hold down our county taxes. If the referendum were to succeed, the supervisors would be under tremendous political pressure to appoint school board members with the “Hire, Hire; Spend, Spend” mentality. This pressure would come from those now waitingumd hoping to get on the county payroll and from their friends who are already on the public payroll and buy their groceries with our taxes. No voter should forget that nearly three-fourths of every dollar taken from him in taxes is used to support the school system, so that it is in the school system where we must insist on one dollar’s worth of educational service for every tax dollar spent mere. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill (Editors note: Out of 139 school divisions in the state of Virginia, 58 have school boards appointed by trustee electoral boards while flf have boards appointed by local governing bodies. Of the 15 counties having the highest percentage of local funds in school budgets, seven have school boards appointed by boards of supervisors and eight have school boards appointed by trustee electors. At the other end of the scale, of the 15 counties spending the smallest percentage of local funds for school operations, seven have school boards appointed by the board of supervisors and eight have school boards appointed by electoral trustees.) Able Service To the editor: In my rushing last night to get to the Electroal Board meeting, I .failed to think through my remarks in support of Nancy Reeve for the school board. I feel very remiss because I failed to preface my remarks with the following: My support of Nancy Reeve is in no way a vote against Allen Stokes. Allen Stokes has served the school board and people of Piedmont District faithfully and ably. He is a responsible citizen and business man. We are fortunate to have him in the county. I lend my support to Nancy Reeve because she is a parent qualified and willing to serve on the school board representing the people of Piedmont District. The board is overloaded with members who have no children in the schools. There is more need of input from responsible parents.

As a definite interest is growing in Virginia, not only on the farm level but in the full-scale production of alcohol for fuel, we welcomed the opportunity to go to this South American country to see firsthand the progress they have made and learn more about their continuing program. When talking about alcohol fuels, most people mention the experience of Brazil. The Brazilian effort is government organized and sponsored and goes under the title of “Proalcool.” It has a target of 2.87 billion gallons of alcohol by the end of 1985. By the end of 1979, 17 percent of Brazil’s gasoline consumption had been replaced with alcohol and by the end of this year it is anticipated that the country will be producing 800 million gallons. By 1985, they project '/: of gasoline type fuels will be alcohol. At the moment, Brazil’s production is based amost entirely on sugar cane. That country currently has 6 million acres of the best farm land in that production and it is expected that it will be the volume contributor at least through 1985 when 4.1 million more acres of land will be producing feedstock for alcohol. It was interesting to note that the government sets the price for gasoline and alcohol at the pumps. During our visit, the prices were 92 cents per gallon for alcohol and 2 dollars and 11 cents per gallon for gasohol. It was estimated that the cost for making a gallon of alcohol was between 55 and 68 cents. Finances are an important part of this switch to alcohol. Noting , that Brazil imports 960 thousand barrels of oil per day, which constitutes 85 percent of her oil consumption, one official said, “The oil is bought with dollars while alcohol can be financed with paper money, thus generating internal cash flow.” About 80 percent of the increases in alcohol production are expected to be financed by the Brazilian government. But a program for borrowers permits them to obtain 100 per cent financing for land preparation and 80 per cent financing for the purchase of farm equipment. Twelve years are permitted for repayment of the loan, the first three years being a grace By NANCY SECRIST VP I Extension Agent As many of you know, I am leaving my job as Extension Agent in Rappahannock County to accept a position with the Butterick Fashion Marketing Company in New York City. 1 realize it will be quite a change going from a county with one yellow blinking light to a city as large as New York but I must admit I am looking forward to .the, challenge of a new career. ,i In the five years I’ve spent in Rappahannock, three working for Extension, I’ve met and made many friends. The cooperation in helping to build the 4-H and Extension Homemakers’ programs .has been heart warming. To everyone who has been a part of these programs thank you for your support. I will be very fortunate if I find as many nice people in the city as I’ve found here. I hope the hustle and bustle of the city will not let me forget the quiet beauty of life here in Rappahannock. •'If 1 don't get to' stee you before I leave, see you next year at the Fodderstack Classic!

The erection of distilleries is also encouraged by the offer of government loans. Available are 80 per cent loans for "fixed investments,” distilleries that are added to existing sugar mills or distilleries established for direct processing of sugar cane into alcohol. These loans also are to be repaid in 12 years, the first three years being a grace period. To encourage installation in remote or underdeveloped regions, the interest rate varies from 4 to 6 per cent for distilleries added to existing mills and 3 to 5 per cent per year for new distilleries in the sugar cane areas. For an independent distillery using feedstock other than sugar cane, the borrower may obtain 90 per cent of the cost of “fixed investment” with the same pay back arrangement except that .interest is set at 2 per cent per year for all regions. A significant incentive is that the federal government agrees to back 60 per cent of the cost of the monetary variation due to inflation. In other words, the interest above the fixed note is 40 per cent of the inflation factor. On-Farm Production We were particularly interested in a “micro still” which is defined as those producing around 300 gallons of alcohol per day mainly for on-farm use. On our visit to the research farm, we traveled in a small car operated on hydrated alcohol. The driver said that coid starts were difficult and that mileage amounted to about 25.6 miles per gallon compared with 32.6 miles per gallon of gasoline. This small farm still was not truly efficient because of a lack of quality control, perhaps caused by the fact that many of the components had been made on site. Not all of the work is focused on alcohol production. Considerable research is taking place at the automobile plants where they have found that engines using alcohol require assistance for cold starts, must avoid fuel contact with organic materials, and must operate at higher compression than existing gasoline engines. Increased compression is obtained by installing domed pistons. The slower burning rate of alcohol imparts antiknock properties and Brazil has opted to blend its alcohol with low octane gasoline, 71 to 73 octane, because more low octane gasoline can be obtained per barrel of crude petroleum. A great amount of research has been going on in diesel fuel and an intriguing part of the testing has been directed toward using vegetable fuels. Peanut oil, palm oil, castor oil, and oil from a woody plant called marmeleiro were all being used to run diesel engines. The drawback is the hioh cost of such fuels. We returned to Virginia with an admiration for the Brazilians and their program to find alternate fuels for today and the future. Although the United States and Brazil have about the same land area, there are some basic differences in the scope of the two alternate fuel programs. First, Brazil has a tropical climate providing a longer growing season and thus more crop potential. This can be very important if agricultural commodities are to be the basis for alternate fuels. Second, although their problem is just as acute as ours, they are seeking fuel for 7 million vehicles while we have 140 million. To show the magnitude of that difference, the Brazilians’ goal is 805 million gallons of alcohol a year. We would need over 160 billion gallons to reach that same level. A short visit like this obviously does not give us all the answers nor necessarily outline all the problems involved in an effort this extensive, but it did show what planning and dedication can produce.

Lelia Lucas Is Still Celebrating At 81 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New. Staff Writer Lelia Noyes Lucas still celebrates life after 81 years. The gracious lady of Huntly’s Wakefield Manor is Rappahannock’s own Grandma Moses, opening the Corn Crib Gallery’s summer season with a debut exhibit of her watercolors this weekend. Her sunny outlook is reflected in the bright hues of her wildflowersi the pastels of country scenes and the muted shades of a snow-covered lane. There’s nothing somber, gloomy or dark about anything that Mrs. Lucas paints. And there’s nothing somber, gloomy or dark about Mrs. Lucas herself. “I’ve been blessed with an interesting life,’’ she explained. She enjoys living so much that she’s threatened to live to be 101. “I was born in 1899 so if I make it that long, I’ll have seen three centuries. Not many people can say that,” she smiled. At 81, Mrs. Lucas is almost blind with only partial vision in one eye. But no pity, please. She gets around just fine. Walking about her cottage at Wakefield Manor, she doesn’t hesitate or stumble. She has a little electric golf cart for jaunts to the garden and the small family chapel nestled in the trees or spins down to the pond where she swims regularly from March through November. “I used to be known as that old woman who swims. Now I’ll be known as that old woman who paints,” Mrs. Lucas chuckled. Needlepoint Artist She first began creating works of art years ago but in another medium. On the walls of her cottage hang elaborate masterpieces, award winners from prestigious needlepoint shows held annually at Woodlawn Plantation. "I was known for my needlepoint,” she admitted after her visitor exclaimed over the delicate stitchery. “I produced a huge volume as well as work of good quality.” ' “Good” is hardly adequate i AT 81, LELIA NOYES LUCAS still looks forward to the adventures brought by each new day. She began painting watercolors only a year ago and will have her first exhibit opening at the Corn Crib Gallery in Flint Hill this weekend. „ ■ Alternative Energy Meeting* A special program on energy independence and self-sufficiency will be hosted by Rural Virginia, Inc. on Saturday, May 24, at 10 a.m. in the Textile Workers Union Hall in Front Royal.

Blue ribbons for first place at Woodlawn go to “best,” not simply “good.” Needlepoint covers chairs, hangs from the walls and cushions feet in the cottage. An immense rug done in bright orange and yellow squares and rectangles graces the living room, the result of two years of work. A second rug in green and blue stripes decorates the dining room floor. Like her watercolors, the needlepoint Mrs. Lucas created with her original designs is cheery, happy art. When her eyesight began to fail, she switched from painting with a needle and thread to using a brush and acrylics. Works from this creative stage also are displayed in her cottage. They, too, feature bright, bold colors that radiate her optimistic outlook. When her vision deteriorated further, Mrs. Lucas left off painting. A recent cataract operation improved her eyes and so, to keep herself busy, she decided to try water colors. “I fell in love with them. You have to be quick to work with water colors and I’ve always been quick.” She’s been painting in water colors for just a year. Until her "discovery” by Mary Schmuaker a few months ago, Mrs. Lucas had never sold one of her pictures, only given them as presents to friends. One of those old friends told Mary Schumaker about Huntly’s unknown artist and brought Mrs. Lucas along with some of her paintings for a visit to the Corn Crib Gallery. Warning her guests that any work proposed for exhibit first needed approval from a three-member board, Mary viewed the water colors and snapped them right up to hang in the gallery. Asked what happened to the board approval, she admitted it was a tiny fib to give her an excuse in case Mrs. Lucas’ water colors turned out to be the typical amateur spat tenngs. Last week, Mrs. Lucas was still painting away on a sunny side-porch while her long lifelong friend an^ companion, Lelia Ann Russell, worked in the -den, matting and framing pictures for display. There was no easel on the porch. Mrs. Lucas works on her lap \ with brushes, paints aiur containers of water crowded onto newspaper strewn over a table within easy hand’s reach. “I make a terrible mess,” the artist admitted. “I spill things, dip my paint brush in my ice tea—just a mess.” As proof, there were paint spots on the floor and on Mrs. Lucas’ trousers but not a single out-of-place drop of color marred the unfinished painting of the Blue Ridge skyline. Since Mrs. Lucas feels she can’t see well enough to capture people or objects, she paints primarily outdoor scenes and arrangements of ■NOTICE Pursuant to Sections 15^1-1511 and 15.1431 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, notice is hereby given that the Planning Commission of Rappahannock County Virginia will at, 7:30 p.m. on May 21, 1980, at the Courthouse, Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia, consider the application of C.

She works from pictures she carries in her head and although her eyesight has faded, her memory remains fresh. She still sees crystal clear with the mind’s eye. While her art work gives an impression of delicacy, most of the paintings are done in bold strokes. A few, however, are miniatures, crafted with tiny sweeps of the brush. Many of the water . colors were finished in a single afternoon, she > reported. Some took a couple ' of sittings but none are the work of days and days over a palette. Mrs. Lucas no longer needlepoints but she hasn’t given up stitchery completely. “I knit—I’ve always been a knitter. I considered it something I could leave for my old age,” she said. She now has partial vision in only one eye and that too is going. Mrs. Lucas has plans, though, for the day she can’t see at all to paint. “When my eyes finally give ' out, I’ll try writing,” she predicted. Judging from her success at other art forms, her first book could win a national award or at least top the New York Times list of best sellers. Lelia Noyes Lucas steadfastly denies that she has any exceptional talent. Instead, she attributes her success to an excess of energy. “I hope I’m not a workaholic but I’ve always been active. I couldn’t sit around and do nothing,” she said, explaining that she first took up needlepoint and then painting just to keep busy. She’s not dismayed about her fading vision. Instead, she sounds even excited and happy about the prospects of having time to write.

Since Massie's and Stokes' terms don’t officially end until June 30. the supervisors can act on the two vacancies, if the method of appointment is changed, despite the action by the trustees on Monday. Contacted on Tuesday, supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, the representative from Piedmont District, stated that he will nominate Nancy Reeve if the referendum passes. “She'll be a good school board member and I support her appointment." he said, adding that he thought a woman should have been selected for the opening. J. R.

CULPEPER MOTOR CORPORATION Rt. 29 North Culpeper, Va. 825-8381 Dealer #0412 According to the legal notice for Monday's meeting, the trustees were also to reaffirm two earlier school board appointments since judged invalid. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner explained that the appointments last June of Robert Eastham from Wakefield District and Charles Eldred from Hampton violated Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act, according to a ruling from Attorney General Marshall Coleman. A second question regarding the challenged appointments has come up recently. Baumgardner said, not mentioning who raised the issue. At last June's Wakefield Examinations Wakefield Country Day School in Huntlv will administer an Admissions Placement Examination to more than 100 applicants on Friday. May 16. beginning at 10 a.m. The school’s Admissions Committee reports that as there are openings for only about 75 students, the test scores will help determine which students are the most eligible for admission. With an anticipated enrollment of more than 325 for 1980-81. Wakefield will become the area's largest private day school. For students who have already received advanced acceptance. the tests will help determine placement in Advanced Placement Courses for 1980-81. Wakefield’s Admissions Committee also reports that in the Preparatory School (grades 8-12). four scholarships are available for students who meet eligibility requirements. Those requirements specify that the scholarship recipient must be able to show financial need as well as high academic ability, as measured by the all-day Admissions Examination. Anyone wishing further information about the testing and scholarship program should telephone 635-8111. NOTICE Pursuant to Section 22-62 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, notice is hereby given that the Rappahannock County School Trustee Electoral Board will meet on May 23, 1980 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Rappahannock County Elementary School, to consider appointments to vacancies created as a result of the expiration of the terms of the members of the Rappahannock County School Board representing the Wakefield and Hampton Districts of Rappahannock County, which vacancies occurred effective July 1,1979.

Call RP Batchelderat 937-4388 RAPPALACHIAN HOMES Across from the Courthouse, Washington Telemobile: 347-1920 or 825-1847 meeting, the trustees announced Eldred's appointment to a four-year term and Eastham's for only two years so as to stagger expirations. Baumgardner reported on Monday that he had conferred with the Attorney General’s office, reviewed the Virginia Code and concluded that the trustees lack the authority to name a school board member for two years. If the trustees elect to stagger the terms of school board members, they may appoint someone for a year's term only. "That’s not the procedure followed last June. The two year term is invalid under enabling legislation," Baumgardner said,. He pointed out that Virginia operates under the so-called Dillon Rule which allows localities to exercise only those powers specifically conferred by the General Assembly. “The electoral board lacked the authority to make a two-year appointment." he said. Since the legal notice of Monday’s meeting stated that the Trustees would reaffirm action taken last June. Baumgardner advised them to readvertise for a second meeting. "The school trustees cannot legally take action to reaffirm" Eastham's two-year appointment, he noted. Instead. Baumgardner suggested that they meet May 23 "to take such action as they deem proper." Judging by the wording of the trustee ad that appears in this week's Rappahannock News, the vacancies in Hampton and Wakefield District are again a wide open question, creating the possibility that either term could be shortened to one year. Should a vacancy in Hampton or Wakefield be filled for only one year, the term would expire June 30, 1980. In addition, the possibility exists—finder the, wording of the notice—that persons other than Eastham and-or Eldred could be named to the board. The ad states only that the trustees will meet on Friday, May 23, at 7:30 in the elementary school “to consider appointments to vacancies created as a result of the expiration of the terms of the members of the Rappahannock County School Board representing the Wakefield and Hampton Districts.” Camp Opposed By Local Residents (Continued from Page 1) volved here.

Langbein concluded that approval for N.P.E.A. will open the door wherever land is for sale in the county, dTawing other religious organizations who want to operate a campground without having to get authorization from local government first. Commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner noted that the BZA must look at criteria in article 10-13 of the zoning ordinance before issuing a special use permit. The section includes stipulations that special permitted uses must not be injurious to or in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood, must not adversely affect the health and safety of persons residing or working in the neighborhood and must not be detrimental or injurious to property in the neighborhood. "The campground is the issue here,” stated supervisor Insurance Coverage (Continued from Pag^UL that the supervisors may pick and choose any of the types of coverage. The board took no action on the insurance proposal. Building Inspection A decision on how to proceed with setting up a building inspection program, on the agenda for the May meeting, was also tabled. In order to comply with state law. Rappahannock must provide inspection service. Currently, the supervisors are considering two options: either to hire a qualified inspector as a county employee or to contract with a private Winchester-based firm to provide the actual service with the county responsible only for scheduling inspection visits. The board gave unanimous approval to participating in a mass transit study to be conducted at no cost to the localities by the Rap pahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission for the five-county PD Nine area. “Mass transit for Rappahannock?” chuckled i ► supervisor H.B. Wood, shaking his head. Chairman E. P. Luke explained that the study will focus on options to single individual transportation, for instance morning copimuter buses and car pooling. “There are Trailway buses that come through here but only make one stop coming out Friday at the Corner Store and one stop Sunday on their way back from Luray,” Luke said. “They only do that to keep their franchise,” added Clarence Baldwin. In other action, the supervisors accepted the resignation of George Muth as the county’s representative on the area Community Services Board and agreed to write him a letter of appreciation for his volunteer service.

Aluminum Worth Cash Environment and energy conscious citizens will have the opportunity to be paid cash to recycle their aluminum when the Reynolds Aluminum Recycling mobile unit visits the Northern Virginia Shopping Center each Saturday from 9:30 until 11 a.m. Reynolds pays 23 cents a pound for all-aluminum beverage cans and and other clean household aluminum.

JV Finishes With Best R CHS Record By joe McCullough Rappahannock News Sports Writer Rappahannock’s JV baseball team played for the junior league championship last Saturday against the Elkton Elks in a doubleheader. The Elks swept the series, 7-2 and 14-3. "Elkton wasn’t a better team. We just didn’t play as well as we are able. We made too many mental errors,” said coach Bob Edmondson in explaining the loss. In the first game, Eric Bear was walked and advanced to second when the ball passed the Elkton catcher. Robert Myers hit a double, bringing in Bear and giving the Panthers a 1 -0 lead that they held on to until the third inning. RCHS was cold despite inspiring catches by Ritchie Burke and Mike Fletcher. Elkton broke away in the third inning with six runs and another in the seventh to lead 7-1. The Panthers scored again after Myers was walked and Mike Leake hit a double to bring him in. The Panthers lost. 7-2. Rappahannock fared little better in the second game. Elkton opened up with five runs in the first inning and two more in the second. The Panthers tried for a comeback in the third. Jimmy Bywaters started off with a single and then stole second. Bear hit another single to bring Bywaters in to score. Then Bear advanced to second on an error and stole third before Myers drove him in with a single. Myers stole second and third. The catcher for the Elks dropped State Aid For Mass Transport Applications for state financial aid to assist communities in preserving or revitalizing public or private mass transportation services are now being received by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. The 1980 Virginia General Assembly appropriated $500,000 for the 1980-81 fiscal year as an incentive to improve mass transportation. The program is administered by the department’s public transportation division. The aim of the state program is to provide financial aid to help maintain or renew transportation services by starting projects designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the various systems, according to Michael D. Kidd, the department’s public transportation coordinator. Applicants eligible for the state aid include local governing bodies, transportation district commissions, or the Department of Highways and Transportation. Kidd said private transportation companies may take part in the program through signing contractual agreements with eligible applicants. Projects which may qualify for state aid include such items as: —Revisions of routes and schedules or addition of routes. —Provisions fof improved services in low-density population areas. — Implementation of express transit services. Contracts Awarded Contracts totaling approximately $23.5 million have been awarded by the State Highway and Transportation Commission for resurfacing some 1,500 miles of interstate and heavy-duty primary and secondary highways throughout the state. The annual resurfacing program is conducted to replace worn surfaces, restore skid-resisting qualities to heavily used highways and protect the existing road system. Projects for Culpeper District total $8,315,386 for 19 contracts covering 447 miles.

Season Final The JV continued on a sour note in Tuesday afternoon's battle with the Luray Bulldogs, losing 14-5. The May 6 game was the last of the season. "They wanted it more than we did,” said coach Edmonson. Tuesday’s victory was Luray’s first of the year. Luray scored first in the opening inning. The Panthers struck back in the second when Robert Myers walked and then stole second. He moved on to third when Tobey Schreiner popped out and then scored on a sacrifice fly from Mike Fletcher. Luray scored two more in the third and five runs in the fifth. When the Panthers came up at the bottom of the inning, Myers hit a single and again stole second. Schreiner was walked and followed it up with a steal of his own. Myers moved to third and then he and Schreiner both came home on Mike Fletcher’s double to make the score 3-8. Luray kept its offensive punch in the sixth inning with five runs. Rappahannock scored again when Jimmy Bywaters singled, stole second and advanced to third on an error. Mark Hudson was walked and moved to second on another Elks’ error. Then Rusty Settle hit a sacrifice, bringing Bywaters around to score. Eric Bear hit a single, driving Hudson home for the Panthers’ final tally, 5-14.
