Educational Expert Approved For $7,000 In another marathon session that saw only agenda items under “old business” covered before midr’^^t, the Rappahannock school board last week decided to add $7,000 for an educational consultant to the proposed 198(^81 school budget. In a three-one vote with chairman Beverly Massie opposed, the board agreed to buy the educational consultant component of a $21,00 package deal presented two weeks ago by KDA, an architectural firm based in Reston. The board members met with Dr. Paul J. McCormick from Flemington, New Jersey, last Friday in a tour of schools in Chantilly and McLean that focused on maximum space utilization through the use of movable partitions for walls. Apparently reflecting the views of the entire board, Eastham repeatedly stated that he’d been most impressed with McCormick, KDA’s educational expert. He proposed hiring McCormick to evaluate programming, scheduling and use of existing space at both schools to determine if current facilities can be divided, possibly with moveable partitions, to handle demands for more room. "If an independent Market Opens On Saturday The Rappahannock Farmers Market will open its 1980 season this Saturday, May 24, at 9 a.m. Early vegetables on sale fresh from local gardens will include collard greens, onions, lettuce and radishes as well as home-canned fruits and vegetables, bread, cakes, pies and other baked goods. Prints and collages made by Rappahannock senior citizens under the direction of Laurie Marshall, program chairman for the market, will also be on exhibit. Mary Beth Martin, wife of Dr. Jerry Martin, will officially open the market as part of Saturday’s ceremonies. A long-time activist on behalf of improvements in the county’s public schools, Mrs. Martin is presently working towards a Master of Arts degree in education from the University of Virginia. expert says “no,” we must build more space, I’ll vote for it,” Eastham stated. Objecting to an outlay of $7,000 for consultant fees, Mrs. Massie asked what happens if the board doesn’t agree with McCormick’s findings. She noted that the school board has already received two reports—one last year and one in 1976—on capital outlay needs and both times, rejected the recommendations. (In addition, a third report from a joint supervisor-school board committee was made by supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke just two months ago.) Eastham maintained that the board wouldn’t hire McCormick without confidence in the consultant’s capabilities and would therefore surely accept his recommendations. There were no similar assurances forthcoming from the other two board members present, Allen Stokes and Walter Masterson. ocnoui Doaru memoer Charles Eldred was unable to attend Tuesday’s meeting due to a family emergency. In a prepared statement read by assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel, Eldred proposed that the school board meet jointly with the supervisors and accountant Wally Cox to determine exactly how much money is available to finance a capital outlay program for the schools. Then, Eldred wrote, the board should hire an architectural firm with experience in building public schools with public funds, rather than contractions with KDA. Eldred questioned whether the high school currently has 43 per cent excess space over the minimum amount per pupil recommended by the state as claimed in a space study report submitted by Robert Eastham and Allen Stokes two weeks ago. “I’m not prepared to accept the recommendations of two or three laymen,” Eldred wrote, referring to the space study completed by Stokes and Eastham with help from Master son. Eldred noted that the findings of the three men contradicted information compiled by other, earlier capital outlay study committes. in addition, tiored expressed concern over the space committee’s “minimum requirements” approach to the overcrowding at RCHS. He maintained that Rappahannock is probably the only high school in the country where space for an enrollment of 500 is figured on the basis of 15 square feet per pupil. Eldred maintained that it is not feasible for teachers to move from room to room all day in order to deal with the widely varying class sizes of a small school. At a special meeting on May 7, Eastham and Stokes proposed either half-day kindergarten or division of special education classrooms as a means of resolving space needs at the elementary school. In his letter read at Tuesday’s meeting, Eldred indicated support for dividing existing rooms if this is legally feasible and if funds for the renovation are added, to the proposed budget. Revising his earlier figures, Eldred estimated that it will take six buses at $10,000 per bus to make the additional runs for half-day kindergarten sessions. He maintained that the' board could buy two modular units and pay their utilities for less than the expense of freeing space with half-day kindergarten. Maintenance Proposals To solve maintenance problems cited in Eastham’s and Stokes’ report, Eldred suggested restoring the funds for maintenance supervisor cut earlier from the budget. He also proposed going ahead on $850 contract with (Continued on Page 4) , Concert, Art Show At RCHS The Rappahannock High School Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Judy Bomberger, will present its annual spring concert on Tuesday, May 27, at 8 p.m. in the high school auditorium.

Advertised Tax Rate For 1980-81 Is $4.50 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New# Staff Writer The proposed 1980-81 county budget advertised by the Rappahannock board of supervisors for public hearing calls for a tax rate of $4.50, an increase of 30 cents per $100 of assessed value over the current levy. The supervisors have scheduled the hearing on the budget for their regular meeting on June 2 at 10 a.m. in the court house. To keep the tax rate at a politically acceptable level with only a seven percent hike, the supervisors have drawn heavily from the county’s accumulated surplus, proposing transfer of approximately $110,000 to the general fund. This will leave the surplus at $83,920. l he advertised budget totals $2,783,160—an increase of $438,437 or approximately 18 per cent —over the current year. The proposed school budget at $2,026,539 comprises about72 per cent of the county’s total revenue requirements. According to supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, the advertised county budget includes all funds asked for by the school board with the exception of a supplemental request for $12,671 forwarded to the supervisors last week. The proposed supplemental appropriation covers fees for an educational consultant ($7,000), provision for five days of annual sick leave for the school bus drivers ~ ($1,670, additional Ft CHS Evacuated Twice Fire Marshal Asked To Investigate Accidents By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In a majority decision at the May 13 meeting, the Rappahannock school board requested the state fire marshal to investigate a boiler malfunction that resulted in the evacuation of the high school on May 7 and 8. The investigation is to determine if the boiler emergency was the result of mechanical failure or human error and negligence,: according to the resolution presented by Robert Eastham. Under the school board’s directive, heating systems at both schools are to be shut down pending certification by the fire marshal. At Tuesday’s meeting, RCHS principal Dennis Wingfield told the board that steam was reported pouring out of the boiler room early Wednesday morning, accompanied by banging and thumping in the pipes. He and assistant principal John Toth checked the boiler room, found coal still being fed and so opened the door to turn off the stoker. Wingfield said he couldn’t And the control buttons due to intense heat and thick clouds of steam that obscured vision. According to the principal, high school custodian Mike Williams -had taken trash to the elementary school to be burned, leaving the manual switch on the furnace in the “up” position. After clearing the school, Wingfield said he tried to reach the custodian and called both superintendent William Bloomer and Robert Clatterbuck, electrician who handles maintenance on the boiler. “While all this was going on, the noise (from the pipes) began to subside,” he added. i iic udiigiug iivjiii me pipes ceased when Williams returned a few minutes later and released safety valves to bring the boiler pressure down, according to Wingfield. Clatterbuck arrived, checked the unit and determined it was safe to let the students back in the school, the principal said. Second Evacuation On Thursday, Wingfield continued, the emergency was repeated, only this second time the stoker wasn’t feeding coal into the boiler. He said he again cleared the building when steam began to pour from the boiler room and notified Clatterbuck and superintendent Bloomer. According to Wingfield, Clatterbuck determined that the controls were circulating steam—not water—through the pipes. After the electrician opened a valve to release the excess steam, pressure in the boiler dropped and the students were allowed back in the building. The boiler then remained off until it was checked Monday by a certified inspector from Richmond, the principal said. I ou ve got two reitows over here who sure aren’t afraid to go into a boiler room when there’s steam in it.” interjected Gatterbuck as he nodded toward Wingfield and Toth. In his report to the school board, Gatterbuck said the inspector had found the boiler ‘‘in pretty good working condition” aside from “a leak here and there” and need for “a few minor repairs.” He noted that replacement pieces to complete repairs are currently on order. “We haven’t had a moment’s trouble since Friday,” Clatterbuck reported, adding that the. furnace had been refired after the inspector's visit on Monday. Referring to earlier boiler troubles that resulted in furnace shut-off last February, Clatterbuck maintained the malfunction then was the result of a “bad load of coal.” ^ In reply to school board chairman Beverly Massie, Gatterbuck explained that the furnace has two 2-inch safety valves and one 1-inch safety valye, “all in good working condition.” Noting that he was "trying (Continued on Page 4) hours for psychological services ($2,000) and fees for an expert roofing consultant to advise the board on a permanent solution to the problem of leaking roofs at both schools ($2,000). Col. Luke noted that the only item cut by the supervisors was the appropriation for a double modular unit at the elementary school. The $40,650 for the trailer was first added after submission of the rest of the budget and then withdrawn, all at the request of the school board. With a few exceptions, the budget is based on maintaining county services at their current level. The appropriation for the office of commissioner of revenue shows a substantial increase (77 per cent), reflecting both costs of transferring county tax records to computer and salary hikes mandated by the General Assembly. The allocation for county treasurer climbs by 53 per cent, likewise the result of state mandated raises. i ne increase tor the sheriff s department of 43 per cent covers the cost of buying three county-owned cars. After this first year, the expense of operating county cars should drop to equal mileage payments currently made to deputies for driving their own vehicles, according to accountant Wally Cox. According to supervisor chairman Luke, the proposed budget includes pay raises of 12 per rent for all county employees, including school staff with the exception of constitutional officers and other personnel whose salaries are controlled by the state. The supervisors must approve the budget for 198081 no later than July 1. Details of the budget can be seen at the county clerk’s office in Washington. Shooting Death Ends Old Feud By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer A long-standing feud erupted in violence in Castleton last Saturday night, leaving a 40-year-old Fredericksburg man dead from a shotgun wound. Jimmy Franklin Hitt died shortly after midnight in Culpeper Memorial Hospital after being struck by a 12gauge shotgun blast in the leg. The weapon was fired by Glenn Hitt of Castleton, no relation, allegedly in selfdefense, according to deputy E. W. Thompson of the Rappahannock sheriff’s department. According to reports, Jimmy Hitt arrived at the residence in a pick-up truck with a friend late Saturday afternoon, had a conversation with Glenn Hitt and left, headed toward Castleton. He returned a short time later and "it appears that some shooting went on outside,” Thompson reported. Glenn Hitt, his wife and their two children, ages two and five years, fled into the house with Mrs. Jimmy Hitt who had arrived during her husband’s earlier visit, according to police. They locked both entrances and when Jimmy Hitt knocked on the front door, they did not respond. According to reports, he then went around to the rear porch and apparently broke through the door. 1 uuilipauu 5ttlU WUIIC5M» stated that Glenn Hitt backed up "as far as he could go” and ordered Jimmy Hitt to leave. When Jimmy reportedly reached for his right pocket, Glenn fired one shot, striking Jimmy Hitt in the leg. According to police, a loaded .22 caliber automatic pistol was found in Jimmy Hitt’s right pocket. Thompson said the sheriffs department received a call from Mrs. Glenn Hitt at 6:30 reporting a "drunk man.-;rwith a gun." When Thompson reached the scene at approximately 6:45, he found Jimmy Hitt on the floor in the hallway. (During the time Thompson was enroute, the sheriffs department received two additional calls, one from Glenn Hitt and a second from Mrs. Jimmy Hitt.) According to Thompson, Jimmy Hitt was alive but bleeding profusely when he arrived at the scene. A call was placed immediately to the Culpeper dispatcher who notified the Castleton rescue squad, Thompson reported. In the meantime, the deputy said, state trooper C. A. Moore applied pressure to the wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding. “I talked to Mr. Jimmy Hitt and asked him what happened. He said he was shot,” Thompson reported. “We did what we could but there wasn’t much we could do. We just had to wait for the ambulance,” the deputy added. 1 hompson said Hitt appeared to be near death when the ambulance arrived a few minutes later. He died around midnight at Culpeper Hospital. The tragedy apparently grew out of a dispute that occurred when both men were still teenagers. According to reports, Jimmy Hitt got into some sort of legal trouble when he was 17 and blamed Glenn Hitt for his difficulties. Thompson said this old feud apparently began to fester, according to Mrs. Jimmy Hitt, after her husband sustained an injury that resulted in his being laid off from work and sent him into a depression. No charges have been filed in the May 17 shooting, Thompson said, adding that the investigation is continuing. Funeral services for James Franklin Hitt were held at Clore Funeral Home in Culpeper at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 21, with Rev. W. W. Martin officiating. Interment was at Fairview Cemetery. Hitt is survived by his wife, Mrs. Frances Ann Estes Hitt of Fredericksburg; two daughters. Miss Robin Lynn Hitt of Fredericksburg and Mrs. Wanda Lee Carpenter of Rixeyville, and two grandchildren.

It must have backfired, because stocks came out a far distant second to real estate. The study concerned itself with the small investor, defined as anyone who falls in one or more of the following categories: 1) annual household income between $7,500 and $20,000; 2) has a securities portfolio valued at less than $10,000; 3) or annual securities transactions valued at less than $5,000. They were asked what rate of return they thought could be attained on a regular basis from the five major investment areas. Real estate investments were rated highest, exceeding the yield from stocks, (the second ranking category) by more than one-third, followed by mutual funds, savings banks and insurance in that order.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, MAY 22,1980 Prevention, Not Blame On May 7 and 8, students at Rappahannock County High School were evacuated from the building when pressure build-up in the school’s boiler reached dangerous levels. Last Tuesday, school board member Robert Eastham devoted his energies to fixing the blame for the near-accident. The safety of Rappahannock youngsters would have been much better served if he’d directed his efforts towards preventing a repeat of the incidents. Juding from his questions and remarks at last week’s meeting, Eastham would like to see responsibility for the boiler mishap laid on the shoulders of the high school principal and the division superintendent. Eastham pointedly asked superintendent William Bloomer if he had read a report submitted by Eastham last January in which he described the boiler operations at both schools as run on “hope and prayer.” In the same report, Eastham called for the immediate implementation of a maintenance and inspection program. But the report was essentially a secret document, never submitted or discussed in public or even in the school’s interminable executive sessions _which the superintendent is usually permitted to attend. Eastham’s report sounds like it may have contained ideas worthy of consideration. Reportedly, it also included remarks highly critical of some of the school staff. We don’t know for sure since we never saw a copy. Officially it was handed out only to other school board members with copies “bootlegged” around the community to school personnel and a few interested citizens. Somehow, judging from his answers last Tuesday, Dr. Bloomer got a look at all or part of the document. But if the boiler situation was so critical, why didn’t Eastham see that the superintendent was formally appraised of the situation? If the boilers were running on “hope and prayer”, why wasn’t this brought up in public at one of the marathan sessions held by the school board since January when Eastham first discovered the potential accident looking for a time to happen? Eastham made it clear through his questions that principal Dennis Wingfield had assigned the new custodian to day-to-day responsibility for the boiler. But who else should have - that responsibility besides the custodian? The only alternative would have been the maintenance supervisor proposed by superintendent Bloomer. That position, however, was cut by the same school board that last week voted $7,000 for an expert consultant to help determine the school’s educational philosophy, curriculum requirements and capital outlay needs. This same board exercised special care to protect its members by voting $5,000 to pay their expert on school law when legal services are available at no cost from Rappahannock’s commonwealth attorney. This same board was caught with egg on its collective face last year, when, after being repeatedly warned, they refused to allow a cushion in the budget for anticipated gasoline price increases. This year, while cutting the maintenance superivosr from the budget, they went overboard in the other direction on gas, providing for hikes to $2 per gallon while all the surrounding systems are betting on a $1.50 maximum with the average allocation based on approximately $1.35. This same board took all the time in the world to remedy other potentially hazardous conditions at the county schools. Weeks stretched into months and even years before action was taken to repair the school zone warning lights in front of RCHS and to put the fire alarm systems at both schools back into working order acceptable by the fire marshals. Lastnam arrived at the high school last Thursday after the second boiler emergency had been resolved, pressure in the unit brought back down near normal and students returned to their classes. Rumors flying around Flint Hill give him the credit for saving Rappahannock’s children from serious injury. This is not the case. By the time he reached the scene, any potential crisis was over and done with. We’re not questioning his stated concern over the safety of the students in the county’s public schools. But he certainly has a funny way of showing it. The interests of the youngsters will be better served, not by a fire marshal’s investigation of the events of May 7 and 8, but by efforts to make sure the emergency doesn’t repeat itself. Along this line, Dr. Bloomer had the right idea when he relayed the statecertified boiler inspector’s offer to teach school employees responsible for the boiler how to operate the unit correctly and safely. We hope the school board elects to take him up on his offer. An ounce of prevention is worth pounds of cure, or in this case, blame. School Board Okays Consultant (Continued from Page 1) , KDA to have an expert make recommendations on solving leaking roof problems at both schools. In the area of energy conservation, he proposed accepting the $1,725 offer made several months ago by a Richmond firm to do a complete energy audit and help with filing federal grant applications for funding conservation projects. KDA’s proposal for a similar study, not including assisstance with grant applications, was $3,300. After Eldred's letter was read, Eastham asked superintendent William Bloomer for a report on implementing half-day kindergarten and-or putting up dividing partitions in special education classrooms. Eastham’s resolution, passed by majority vote, had directed the superintendent to prepare the report by Tuesday. Bloomer replied that he was still collecting data and so was unable to give a final report at Tuesday’s session. He explained that the regional special education supervisor couldn’t visit the school and check on enrollment, facilities and programs until May 19. Then she will submit a written report to Bloomer before he forwards proposals to the state Department of Education for an okay on compliance with state specifications, according to the superintendent. After state authorization is obtained, Bloomer said, he will then give his report to the school board. Regarding half-day kindergarten, Bloomer said he is still working with transportation supervisor Allie Huff on alternative bus routes and is awaiting a reply from the state department on exact hours classes must be held and information on reduction of state funds for not providing a full kindergarten program. me ooara directed you to come up with a plan. Do I understand this regional supervisor is going to do the job we asked you to do?” East ham demanded. Bloomer replied that he will submit his own plan to the board but must first determine if his ideas meet state approval. Kindergarten Counseling Does the school provide counseling to .the parents of prospective kindergarten students? Eastham asked. Elementary principal Graham Spencer explains to parents that they have the option of sending their child to kindergarten or keeping the youngster home until first grade, according to Bloomer. In addition, Bloomer said, as part of the testing and placement procedure, parents are given the option of enrolling their children in full-day or half-day programs with the parents providing transportation home at the end of the half-day morning class. After reading a long list of skills that prospective kindergarteners are expected to have before entering school, Eastham asked if the administration, in counseling parents, takes into account "the extraordinary differences in this county?” Specifically, he asked if the counselor emphasizes that kindergarten youngsters will have to stand waiting for the bus “exposed to the cold north wind blowing in their faces.” Bloomer replied that the counseling provided covers all points required by Virginia law. Returning to the report on maintenance and space scheduled for action at Tuesday’s meeting, Mrs. Massie noted her agreement on the need for a permanent solution to the problem of leaking roofs, to correct drafty windows and to install guard rails on the modular units but expressed reservations on the excess space figures cited for the elementary and high schools. She voted, however, with the other board members to accept unanimously the report from Eastham and Stokes. A second motion to provide each supervisor and The Rappahannock News with a copy of the report also passed unanimously. Board Can Do Mrs. Massie argued against the proposal to hire McCormick as educational consultant, maintaining that the school board could evaluate data collected by three capital outlay committees and determine if existing school space could be better utilized. She pointed out that McCormick-maintained educational philosophy determines curriculum which in turn determines classroom space needs. “Why can’t we look at the information we already have and decide that?” she asked. "Do we want to sift through the wheat and the chaff ourselves or pay somebody else to?”’ Agreeing with a suggestion from Walter Masterson, the majority of the board —Stokes, Eastham and Masterson—voted to accept KDA’s $7,000 proposal for an educational consultant, provided McCormick’s credentials check out. In a second vote, the same majority added $7,000 to the proposed budget for 1980-81 with Mrs. Massie again voting in opposition. noting mat me same consultant included in the $850 roofing component of the KDA package had been recommended months earlier by local architect Avery Faulkner, the board, by consensus, agreed to contact the individual directly after a performance check of his earlier jobs is completed. Before moving on to new business at 12:15, Bloomer reported that fire alarm systems are now operating at (Continued on Page 5) —Rappahannock Nmrs Photo/S. Latkaai Our Rappahannock Heritage Fire Marshals To Inspect Schools (Continued from Page 1) to get at the facts” and intended no offense, Robert Eastham asked for the electrician’s qualifications as a boiler engineer. Clatterbuck replied that he had no training on boilers with the exception of a threeweek course from American $ Oil Company taken 15 years ago. In answer to further inquiries from Eastham, the electrician said he first began working for the school system in 1977 on an “as needed” basis and had no supervisory authority over any employee of the school system. 1 ne pusmng or ramming of the boiler tubes to clean them out, how often has that been done?” Eastham asked. “I don’t know. I’m just the service man,” Clatterbuck answered. In response to further questioning, he explained that the automatic controls to start the boiler can be by-passed and described in detail the parts of the furnace that need replacement or repairs immediately and parts that may need attention in a year or two. Chairman Beverly Massie expressed the board’s appreciation for the work Clatterbuck has done for the school system and maintained that he has demonstrated practical knowledge on furnace operations and repairs despite his lack of formal training. Custodian Mike Williams, who began working at the high school on March 10, acknowledged that he didn’t know much about boilers and so was learning on the job. “I did pretty well until Wednesday when I went off to burn some trash and left the boiler on,” Williams said, adding that Clatterbuck had showed him how to operate the control switches. He noted that he’d been told to stay at his boiler room post after adding coal to the boiler. Clatterbuck interjected that all coal had been cleaned out of the boiler following Wednesday’s emergency. Williams continued that he'd added just a small amount of coal on Thursday and had stayed at the boiler room after the furnace was fired. "All of Thursday’s problems were caused by no water in the pipes—not too much coal,” Clatterbuck stated. He also noted that the danger of an accident had been greater on Wednesday than in Thursday’s emergency. Who gave you orders to take care of the boiler room?” Eastham asked the custodian. “I think Mr. Wingfield told me about the boiler room,” Williams replied. Superintendent Bloomer reported that the state certified inspector who checked the boiler Monday determined that the furnace could safely be returned to use. The inspector also found Clatterbuck qualified for maintenance and operation of the boiler, according to the superintendent, and noted that a maintenance program was “desirable and necessary to prevent further accidents.” The inspector further recommended in his oral report to Bloomer that replacement parts be installed as soon as they are received. Specific suggestions included cleaning the collected soot from the boiler and replacing flange and seal gaskets during the summer. The inspector offered “to spend a day instructing the individual responsible on the day-to-day operation (of the boiler),” Bloomer said. In addition, the inspector recommended the boiler be gone over thoroughly in a summer maintenance check. "When can we expect a written report (from the inspector)?” Eastham demanded. “When I get it out of the mail,” replied the superintendent. Noting that he and Allen Stokes had “directly intervened” to get information on the boiler problems, Eastham read from a prepared statement on his version of the events of Wednesday and Thursday. He began by noting that his “internal report” to school board members only circulated after his 13 days in class last January cited the boiler rooms at both schools as operated on “hope and prayer.” In his report, dated January 30, Eastham said he called for implementation of inspection and maintenance programs for both heating systems without delay. Eastham said he’d learned of the most recent problems with the boiler from a parent who visited him on Thursday and told him a high pressure steam blow-out had been narrowly averted and students evacuated from school the previous day. According to Eastham, he then went to see Gatterbuck only to find that the electrician had been called back to the high school. According to Eastham, he "felt panic” over the students facing “mortal danger”, tried but was unable to reach board chairman Beverly Massie, contacted Allen Stokes and then met his fellow board member at the high school. The superintendent was also at RCHS. According to Eastham, Dr. Bloomer acknowledged that students had been evacuated the day before and said he hadn’t informed the board members of the action at Wednesday night’s board meeting because he considered it a “maintenance problem.” In addition, said Eastham, Bloomer admitted that he had read Eastham’s January 30 report calling for immediate maintenance program for the boilers. vims report was never formally presented to Dr. Bloomer or to anyone other than school board members. Written after Eastham spent 13 days in classes at both schools, the report allegedly contains remarks critical of individual school staff members. Although considered an internal document, copies of the report have been circulated both among school personnel and to the g'neral public.) He said the janitor had been told to stay in the boiler room after he fed coal to the unit but had left Wednesday morning to burn trash at the elementary school. The administration was unable to handle the subsequent emergency, Eastham said, and so placed urgent calls to Clatterbuck’s office. He added that the electrician was out on a job and not expected back until 1 p.m., according to reports given the administration by the electrician’s secretary. “Whether the fire department was called to stand by is not known,’’ Eastham added. Clatterbuck finally arrived, brought the pressure in the boiler down, left and then was called back at 3 p.m. to discover the fire box crammed with coal, enough to fill a pick-up truck, according to Eastham. In this afternoon emergency, the school was not evacuated, Eastham said. Steam Circulated Thursday morning, with only SO gallons of water in the pipes out of a 2,000 to 3,000 capacity, the boiler was fired up again, circulating super-heated steam, he continued. This created the danger of a blow-out in the c 1 a s srj? o ms, Eastham maintained. Clatterbuck returned and brought the boiler back under control. Eastham reported that when he and Stokes arrived, the boiler was being readied for refiring solely to provide hot water for the kitchen. Although Clatterbuck agreed to operate the unit manually, Eastham and Stokes determined that the only safe option lay in shutting the boiler down until inspection by a certified individual. iiiai vu i* vw ncsday and particularly on Thursday the lives of Rappahannock County school children were in more immediate danger than any time since the 1929 tornado destroyed the Woodville school, Eastham called for an investigation by the state fire marshal to determine fault in the boiler malfunction. In addition, he proposed that the heating systems at both schools be shut down pending certification by the state. Before a vote on the motion, Mrs. Massie asked Eastham for his qualifications as a boiler expert. She also asked what he thought had been done wrong by school administrators regarding the boiler operations. Eastham refused to do more than repeat his motion. It carried three to one with support from Eastham, Stokes and Masterson and opposition from Mrs. Massie. Charles Eldred, fifth member of the school board, was unable to attend Tuesday’s meeting because of an out-ofstate family emergency. People’s Rights To the editor: Robert Eastham attacks the right of the people to have their representatives choose the school board by raising the red flag of higher taxes. The fact is that passage of the referendum will do no such thing, and Mr^ Eastham knows it. Passage of the referendum will have no effect, one way or the other, on taxes. Whether one is in favor of more spending for schools or less spending, one ought to vote in favor of the referendum. If it passes, the school board will be elected by the people’s representatives on the board of supervisors. This will give the people greater control over who sits on the school board, and the board will then be more responsive to the people of Rappahannock County. This has nothing to do with whether the board of supervisors will raise the tax rate or not. The only public officials who speak out against the right of the people to choose are those who distrust the people. ALLAN AND NANCY RYAN Washington Suprised To the editor: I am surprised at the figures used in the school space report. The supposed state minimum of IS square feet per student is ridiculous. Using that figure, a room 15 feet by 20 feet could be used to teach 20 students. Try putting 20 teenagers, 20 desks, a teacher, a teacher’s desk, and teaching material in a room the size of an average living room. Admittedly our schools do not have this level of crowding, however, to cite this figure as a minimum is laughable. ine eanonai in me paper questions the validity of the method used to arrive at this state minimum. Common sense makes nonsense of it. To the School Board, please use some common sense. Think about the figures in a real world situation. To the parents of students in our schodls, what monetary value do you place upon your children's education? A minimum amount? Any question about crowding can be answered by a visit to your child’s school. Speak out. Make members of our local government accountable for their actions. Your children’s education is at stake. JAMES MURRAY CAROL MURRAY Amissville No Logic To the editor: With regard to the letter of Mr. Robert W. Eastham (OpEd 5-8-80), it appears to be a delibertate attempt to obscure the real issues involved in the June 17th referendum on the method of selection of the school board. I fail to find any logic in his contention that a yes vote will make our children ‘‘political footballs”. This is pure unreasoned nonsense. A yes vote will ensure that all citizens have an opportunity through their elected representative to have a voice in the selection of the school board member from their district. If as Mr. Eastham states 75 percent of our tax dollars are used to support the educational system, then the present system is surely taxation without representation. As to his contention that our county taxes will rise with passage of the referendum, this can be refuted by several factors. (1) It is the prerogative of the board of supervisors to set the tax rate, not of the school board. (2) The editor’s comments following Mr. Eastham’s letter indicated that statewide the manner of selection of the school board has no direct correlation on the per pupil county expenditure. (It is unfortunate Mr. Eastham doesn’t show as much concern for the legitimate problems of our school system such as the high teacher turn-over as he does in being the self-appointed guardian of the public treasury.) (3) If as Mr. Eastham fears, the supervisors will be under pressure to appoint those with a “spend-spend mentality’*, it seems equally likely they will be under pressure to appoint those with a “save-scve mentality”. I hope the supervisors would consider other qualification such as concern for the quality of education besides fiscal philosophy. Passage of the referendum is a step in the direction of improvement of our school system. I urge your yes vote on June 17th. Our children deserve nothing less. JERRY MARTIN Maintenance Supervisor To the editor: When the ’80-’81 school budget was presented to the Rappahannock County School Board, a maintenance supervisor for the two county schools was recommended by the superintendent. When the budget went to the board of supervisors, this item had been cut. In light of the events at Rappahannock County High School on May 7 and 8 and the statements made by school personnel at the May 13 school board meeting, the decision to cut out the maintenance supervisor was obviously done without the safety of the children in mind. At the May 13 school board meeting, individuals from the school and community were questioned in regard to their role in the near boiler explosion at the high school. It was revealed at this meeting that while the principal and custodians had been dealing with the boiler, none of them have expertise in this area. This is understandable as their jobs should not require this knowledge. What is not understandable is why the board was assuming that one of these people could. Mr. tastnam nas canea tor an investigation to find out who was responsible for the boiler problem. From statements made by those at the meeting, we seem to know this already. However, what we do not know is why this same board member who had visited the boiler room in February and had reported his findings to the board, and had the authority to take action, did not take any action regarding these finds. If there is to be an investigation to find out who is responsible, does no responsibility belong to he who knew that a problem existed, who reported this problem to the board, and then didn’t do anything about it until an emergency situation erupted? I challenge the school board and the board of supervisors to provide funds for the much needed maintenance supervisor. We do not want the conditions at the high school to continue to deteriorate and cause a much worse situation to occur. DON BOMBERGER

Cebula Makes Racing The Sport Of Regular Folks By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vw» Staff Writer Millie Cebula’s adventures with thoroughbreds sound more like the daydreams of a teenage horse lover than real life. Owner and manager of Washington's Hampton Inn, she's also the biggest winner at Charles Town so far into the racing season that began February 22. Her successes to date at the West Virginia track include eight firsts, three seconds and a third. In racing terms, she’s outdistanced her closest competitor—with only three wins—by at least 100 lengths. Two weekends ago. at the Penn National Course in Grantsville. Pennsylvania, her stable moved up to the bigger time and still came out ahead with a first, second and third in races for $5,000, $7,000 and $10,000. She’s going to have to hire a Brinks armored truck to bring home the money. Millie’s horses haul in the purses at the finish line while she hits the betting windows, laying down fat wagers at long odds. Her faith in the Cebula racing machines has paid off handsomely. The so-called experts tear their hair out in handfuls every time Mrs. Cebula hits the tracks. Here she is, the owner of a little roadside restaurant in rural Virginia, grandmother of two who bought her first thoroughbred just three years ago. She hasn’t spent years pouring over horse history to decide what lines to cross to get a winner. She hasn’t given decades to the study of horsey family trees to learn who produces sprinters, who sires stayers and whose offspring like to run in the mud. She didn’t grow up near a race course or come from a racing family that had lived and breathed thoroughbreds for generations. ivinne ^eouia aian i ao any of these things and yet she's making money at the riskiest, chanciest business of them all—horse racing. Others have made the DerbyPreakness-Belmont roulette of thoroughbreds their life’s work and still lost their —Rupah—oct Ntw»PW>ift/D^AatH«ldMMMi MILLIE CEBULA, proprietor of the Hampton Inn on Route 211 just outside Washington, is also the owner of a string of thoroughbreds and the winningest owner of the current racing season at Charles Town. Growing from a couple of photos over the cash register, the pictures of Millie’s victorious thoroughbreds now fill the opposite wall and have even spread to the rear dining room. shirts. What’s her secret? First Love Mrs. Cebula was raised on a farm near Manassas. “My daddy had horses—six or seven of them all the time. They weren't thoroughbreds but I grew up with horses.” she said. She rode, groomed, fed and watered the animals, cleaned their stalls and loved them. “They were my first love,” Millie recalled. Most pre-adolescent horse fanatics switch their interests to boys once they hit their teens. The “Buy me a horse, oh please, oh please, buy me a horse” refrain changes to “Mom, I need a new dress for the dance this weekend.” Only a few hang on, picking saddlesoap over perfume, stable boots over high heels and jodphurs or bluejeans over tailored slacks. Millie Cebula was one of the horseloving hold-outs. She married, devoted time to raising a family and began her restaurant business with a snack-bar that she operated in Manassas for 17 years. But she never found the cure for the horse bug that bit her as a kid. Ihree years ago, she quit looking. Millie bought a horse at a Charles Town claiming race and she*s been off and running at the track ever since. She started off this season with six and went down to three after Space Mash was claimed in Pennsylvania. Millie’s granddaughter is still wiping the tears away after losing her favorite in Grandma’s string. But putting business before sentiment, Millie reported that Space Mash brought home nine wins and six seconds in the two years she owned the animal. In addition to the purses and side profits at the betting window, Millie paid only $2,000 for the mare and sold her for $5,000. The star of the Cebula stable is Marmasett, a brown mare purchased for $3,000 from Mrs. Neva Montgomery of Warrenton. With her trainer Harry Thompson, Millie was horse hunting when she saw Marmasett. She was impressed by the five-year-old’s size. ‘‘She’s a big horse. She’s got big feet and legs. She looked real strong—like a distance horse,” Mrs. Cebula recalled. Marmasett’s record of only a single win in her racing career was less impressive. But on the basis of the mare’s looks and breeding—"She’s really high bred. Her grandfather was a Derby horse.”—Mrs. Cebula plunked down the cash. She hasn’t regretted her investment. She bought Marmasett on January 8. A few weeks later, the mare had her first win under Millie’s regular jockey Hector Del Gada and the Cebula colors. She returned S18.20 on a $2 bet—not bad for a start. Marmasett worked her way up, running and winning in 52,500, 53,500 and 54,500 claiming races, proving that her first victory wasn’t a fluke. “1 didn’t want her claimed so 1 put her in an allowance race, the highest you can go at Charles Town,” Millie said. Undaunted by tougher competition, Marmasett breezed to an upset win beating a 540,000 blue-blood in the process, according to Mrs. Cebula. The mare’s style, however, can add a few gray hairs to the heads of even her strongest supporters. “Marmasett runs 20 lengths •>.behind until she hits the back stretch,” Millie reported. “She can run a mile and a half easy. She’s a mile and a half horse. You can’t stop her. It just takes a little bit for her to get started.” Dog Paddling Horae# Millie attributes her success with Marmasett and the rest of her string to a special conditioning program worked out by trainer Harry Thompson. Living the life of the idle rich, the horses take a daily plunge into the pool at Middleburg’s training track. “The main thing in racing is having good legs.” Millie explained. "So all my horses swim two miles a day. That’s the secret to them running so good. It gives them strength in the legs and more wind.” At the same time, she noted, swimming spares the delicate bones in the thoroughbreds’ legs from the beating they take supporting thousands of pounds while racing around a track. ‘‘They can run three years longer by swimming,” Mrs. Cebula maintained. After their showing in allowance races at Penn National, Millie is getting ready to van her horses up to Pimlico next week where the —Rappahannock Newt Photo/Loyal McMSltn MARMASETT, WITH HER TRAINER Harry Thompson, gives the old horse laugh to doubters who made her a long shot in recent races at Charlestown. Owner Millie Cebula had the last laugh when her mare crossed the finish line first, paying off in winner circle purses and at the betting windows. • V.W. Vehicle Specialist • Repairs on Most Foreign and American Cars 30 Ashby St., Warrenton, Va. 347*3785 Center big boys run. The Preakness isn’t on her schedule tiut she’d like Marmasett and M Sweep, winner by 21 lengths in her Pennsylvania outing, to demonstrate what they can do against top quality horse flesh. And there’s another reason. “Pimlico has better prizes, bigger ft'oney,” Millie chuckled. Horses aren’t Mrs. Cebula’s first love any more. Her thoroughbreds, she said, must take a back seat to her daughter and two grandchildren. The racers don’t take up much of her time, either. That’s spent on the Hampton Inn. “I generally go out twice a month or so to the stables to see them,” driving to the farm next door to John and Elizabeth Taylor Warner’s estate between Middleburg and Upperville. ‘‘And of course I go to see them run,” Millie added. ‘‘All the problems I have are in the restaurant. The horsfes are reallyTleasure.” \ Hobbies, especially horse hobbies, are usually expensive. Millie Cebula is one of the lucky few who’s making money, proving that racing can be the sport of regular folks as well as of kings.

The night started off wrong when guest speaker GARY LEAKE, star of Rappahannock’s varsity basketball squad this year and a consistent player on the Panther’s baseball team, received the 1979-80 award for sportsmanship presented at the RCHS atheltic awards banquet Saturday night. John Vasvary, cross country coach at University of Virginia, fainted due to fatigue. He improved and left for the hospital, apologizing. The banquet went on to the awards ceremony beginning with Michael Kimble and Cross-Country. “Most Improved Runner” went to the number two man on the team, Jim Tomko. Don Doughtery, number one man, was the recipient of the Most Valuable Runner trophy. Next, Denise Nelson awarded Pam Estes the MVP for Girls JV Basketball. Ann Spieker followed with awards for Girls Varsity Basketball. Denise Wingfield was the “Most Improved Player”. The Most Valuable Player was Rhonda Brown. Rookie Coach Mike Connifey, after struggling through his speech, gave Garence Pendelton the MVP for 8th grade basketball. Slam dunk leader Carl Frye accepted MVP award for JV basketball from new coach Bob Edmonson.
