The 1980 graduation ceremony marked the thirtieth annual commencement of the school. Joe Gallagher, recipient of the J976 Catholic University Distinguished Citizen Service Medal, member of the Hall of Fame at St. John’s, and Polls Open At 6 On Tuesday The polls will be open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. for the referendum on the method of selecting school board members set for Tuesday, June 17. Polling places are the court house in Washington for Hampton District, the fire hall in Chester Gap and fire hall in Flint Hill for Wakefield District, the fire hall in Amissville for Jackson District, the fire hall in Sperryville for Piedmont District and the Sunday School room of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church in Scrabble for Stonewall-Hawthorne District. All officers of election are reminded to report to their assigned polling places at 5:30 a.m. on June 17. Chief officers of election are to pick up ballots at the court house in Washington at 4 p.m. on June 16. On the ballot is a single question: whether to change the method of selecting school board members from the current procedure of appointment by the trustee electors to appointment by the board of supervisors. RCES Honor Students Named Seventh grade honor students were recognized at a special awards ceremony last Friday at Rappahannock Elementary School. Cindy Dobson, who has received only one "B” and the rest all ‘‘A”s on her report card in seven years of school, was cited as best allaround student. Dawn Kenyon received the science award, Ronnie Atkins the mathematics award and Sherry Poe the history award. Also recognized for over-all academic excellence were Melissa Grimsley. Julie Burke, John McKay, Brenda Walker, James Dennis, John Flood, Michael Atkins, Angela Caesar, Betsy Jewell, Marc Streagle, Laura Adams, Kelly Bristol and Robert Ludwick. George Washington University, and current instructor at St. John’s College High School, was guest speaker. In his speech to the graduating seniors, faculty, students and friends, Mr. Gallagher emphasized the joint efforts which make any graduation experience more than a time of honoring graduates alone. Both parents and relatives of the graduates were appreciatively applauded for their support of the senior class members. A theme of thanks and gratitude was consistant throughout the evening’s ceremonies. Anthony Armentrout presented the salutory address which praised Rappahannock faculty members for their concern for students. And class valedictorian, Marion Eastham. genuinly and enthusiastically reiterated this note of thanks, emphasizing the importance of such collective concern in determining success in life. Scholarships and awards were presented to five members of the senior class. Tanya Brown received the Rappahannock Woman’s Club award; Debbie DeBergh, the Amissville Ruritan Club award; Melanie Burke, the Home Demonstration Club award, Marion Eastham, the Rappahannock Garden Club Scholarships; and Douglas Nichols, the Lions Club Scholarship for foreign travel. A special award—The Principal’s Award—was presented to faculty member, Mrs. Jean Moffett, for her twenty-four years of service in the education field. A long standing ovation from the audience expressed their affirmation of her achievements. The evening also included several special choral presentatations by the Rappahannock County High School Choir, under the direction of music instructor, Judy Bomberger. The size of the audience attending last Friday's ceremony—the largest yet—was perhaps indicative of the success that the 1980 graduates had already achieved. In her valedictory address, Marion Eastham offered this quote by Emerson as a guide for future achievement: To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded. —Ralph Waldo Emerson Two More Special Ed By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer "You really have some problems,” was the verdict from Kathleen Kerry, assistant state supervisor for special education after an onsite inspection and evaluation of the county’s special education programs. Kerry’s visit to the elementary school and high school and her appearance at Monday’s board meeting came as the result of a proposal to partition rooms used for special education to provide class space for students returning next year from Piedmont regional school. With the discontinuance of self-contained learning disabled classes at Piedmont, the board must provide classes locally and currently, the elementary school has no free space, according to the administration. The board approved first the necessary LD teaching position and modular unit to provide the additional classroom but later directed superintendent William Bloomer to develop a detailed plan for dividing the existing special education classrooms and-or instituting split shift kindergarten. As Bloomer explained, he solicited Kerry’s response prior to submitting anything to the board since plans must meet state approval in order to qualify for state funding. Kerry did not give a definite yes or no to dividing classrooms but noted that partitioning may violate provisions of the federal Rehabilitation Act that stipulates handicapped students will be provided equal educational opportunities as the nonhandicapped. She added that the government is now sending out teams to check on compliance with the rehabilitation act. Not Babysitting Special education “is not a babysitting class,” Kerry said. Instead, it should provide meaningful training and instruction and to accomplish this, adequate facilities must be provided, according to the assistant supervisor. She told the board members that they have options for better utilization of existing space, including converting the multi-purpose gym into classrooms or possibly remodeling to turn two classrooms into three. But whether this second option is viable, she said, depends on heating, lighting and toilet facilities. “I cannot say what the division of special education will approve,” Kerry said, noting that state department representatives will work with the local board and administration in developing alternatives. But, in order to comply with federal law. classrooms for the handicapped "must be the same kind of classroom available for other students,’’ she emphasized. Kerry pointed out "critical” deficiencies in Rappahannock’s special education program cited by a recent state administrative (Continued on Page 2) Luke Appointed Substitute Judge Washington attorney Peter H.

Deborah Debergh Marion Ea9tham With Three Police Cars Supervisors Set Tax Rate At $4.40 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock !Ncwa Staff Writer The Rappahannock supervisors got down to business at a special work session last Thursday and ended up with a $4.40 tax rate for 1980-81 to support contemplated expenditures of $2,760,250. By slashing the proposed school budget by $26,000 and taking another chunk from the county's accumulated surplus, the supervisors reduced the advertised levy by 10 cents, a 20 cent increase per $100 of assessed value over the current rate. The supervisors also made two significant additions to the budget for the coming fiscal year—both firsts for Rappahannock. For the first time, local government officials and the county will be protected with liability insurance and deputies in the Rappahannock sheriff’s department will drive countyowned cars instead of their private' vehicles while on duty. At the beginning of the joint session with the school board, supervisor chairman E.P. Luke noted that the tax rate for 1980-81 was advertised at $4.50 while the budget as of June 5 required a $4.60 levy. “We want to get 20 cents off,” stated supervisor H.B. Wood. “Well, we have to get 10 ^ cents.” Luke noted. “If we get more than than, it's ’ fine.” Capital Outlay Cut Luke suggested that $16,565—approximately 10 cents on the levy—but cut from the school board’s appropriation for capital outlay, leaving in that category just $4,715 of federal Title 1 funds. The allocation for capital outlay included money for musical instruments, emergency lighting at both schools, special education equipment and underground gasoline tanks. Wood asked how the Title I capital outlay funds were proposed to be spent. “There,” answered Walter Masterson. wavhing his hand in the direction of superintendent William Bloomer and assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel. “They're the ones who spend it.” Town Considers 40% Hike In Water Rates After years and years of defying the trend among public utilities toward almost weekly rate increases, the town of Washington’s water system is facing a rate hike. At Tuesday’s meeting of the Washington town council, treasurer Brad Fisher told his fellow council members that they needed to discuss raising the water fees, now at the base rate of $3 for up to 3,000 gallons and ten cents per 100 gallons up to 10,000 gallons. Then it’s 20 cents per hundred gallons after that. Since well over 60 per cent of the system’s customers use only the minimum, the base rate must be upped if the increase is to generate any appreciable revenue, Fisher reported. As for growth in the system, he noted that the town is allowed 120 meters and to date, 119 have been allocated. ‘‘Our base rate is S3—that’s awfully cheap water,” remarked mayor Newbill Miller. “The problem is we haven't raised the rates since 1 can remember.” Taylor Updike recalled that an increase had come « sometime around 1930 but none of the councilmen could remember a later hike. “It should be up around $5,” Fisher maintained. “I don't think a $5 minimum will break anybody," Skippy Giles agreed. After some discussion, the council settled on a 40 per cent jump that will bring the base rate to $4.20 and additional charges to 14 cents per 100 gallons. Formal action, however, was tabled until July when council members Dorothy Hawkins and Dorothy Clater will be in attendance. The public hearing on the increase is tentatively set for August. Miller noted that few townspeople will attend upcoming council sessions on either the town’s com prehensive plan or revisions in its zoning ordinance. But folks will turn out for the hearing on the water rate increase, he added with a chuckle. “We’ve got to do something,” Fisher main tained, reporting that the water system’s pipes are being eaten away from the outside due to low PH of the soil. In addition, he said, the well, spring house and storage tank need revamping. Street Repairs Miller noted that members of the council had inspected the streets in the town with Doug Bywaters from the highway department. According to the mayor, the highway department representatives had agreed to repair the sections pointed out to them. In addition, said Miller, he asked the department to mow the rightof-way at the entrances to the town. As for the grass throughout the rest of the town, Charlie Jenkins reported that "Sleepy" Fincham, who regularly takes care of that duty, had agreed to mow but hadn’t done so yet. Miller suggestet} that the town mowing be taken up again at the July council meeting. By unanimous vote, the council agreed to advertise the town’s comprehensive plan for public hearing at the July meeting also. Miller reported that he’d discussed (Continued on Page 2) McDaniel replied that $4,715 will be used for audiovisual equipment, shelving and carpeting. He emphasized that all money for Title I programs is supplied directly by the federal government. (At the request of accountant Wally Cox, Title I funds are shown on both sides of the ledger—revenue and expenditure—in the school section of the proposed county budget. Title I money, however, was left out completely from the budget forwarded by the school board to the supervisors, causing a difference in totals between the budgets approved by the two bodies.) Bloomer noted that battery powered, emergency in-door lighting for both schools was recommended by the insurance company which holds the school policy and by the state fire marshal. He added that the fire marshal's office had given Rappahannock schools leeway to install the emergency lights, (estimted at $3,300) during the summer break. ‘‘We have liability insurance but we don’t want to use it.” remarked school board member Newbill Miller, suggesting the money for the lights be left in the proposed budget. Bloomer noted that the current school budget contains $14,000 for underground gas tanks and site preparation that won’t be spent this year. A portion of this would buy the emergency lights if there was time enough to order and pay for the equipment before June 30. the end of the current fiscal year, he said. School board chairman Beverly Massie interjected that she’d tried unsuccessfully to have her fellow members meet before the joint session with the supervisors in order to discuss the “little surplus” from the current budget that could be used to balance cuts in the 1980-81 budget. No Surplus Spent? Board member Robert Eastham announced that the school board had agreed not to use any of its left-over money this year, instead returning all surplus to the county treasury. "Oh Mr. Eastham. you’re mistaken.” Mrs. Massie corrected, reminding him that the board had decided only that unspent funds for gas and oil left over next June from the proposed 1980-81 budget would be returned to the county’s general fund. (Continued on Page 3) State Official Defines School Space Allocation The state supervisor of school buildings, the same expert cited as the authority behind Allen Stokes and Robert Eastham’s building space study, shot that study full of holes at Monday night’s meeting of the Rappahannock school board. In a report submitted last month. Stokes and Eastham concluded that Rappahannock County High School has 43 per cent excess space, based on minimum state requirements of 15 square feet per pupil—a determination that they claimed was supported by state supervisor of school buildings John Hamill. Noting that members of the Rappahannock school board have ‘‘some very :onfusing ideas,” Hamill reported on Monday that the Virginia department of education has established no standards for square footage required in public school buildings. According to Hamill, there ire very few regulations on buildings and all relate to meeting the Standards of Quality for education set by the state. Hamill said his office Joesn’t routinely conduct ichool building surveys due :o lack of staff but voluneered to go through the high school “if it’s necessary to resolve the confusion” over whether the building does or does not have excess soace. According to Hamill'! criteria. RCHS has no where near 43 per cent excess space as indicated in Stokes anc Eastham's space study Based on his figures, the high school has only 63 per cent ol the space it should have to provide an adequate educational program. According to Davis and Associates, the architectural firm that designed the school. RCHS contains 35.738 square feet of gross interior space. With an enrollment of 450, that works out to 79.4 square feet of space per pupil. 63 per cent of what is recommended by the state. Using the statistics Hamill cited as the minimum recommended by the state, the elementary school is also overcrowded. With 55.339 square feet of gross interior space and an enrollment of 700. the elementary school provides 79 square feet per pupil. According to Hamill. the state's recommended minimum is between 85 and 90 square feet per pupil, leaving the elementary school eight to 13 per cent short. Generally, said Hamill. an elementary school is considered to have adequate space if it provides between 85 and 90 square feet per pupil. For high schools, 125 square feet per pupil of gross interior space is "the figure we use to recommend if a school is too tight or too extensive. . . 1 .think a high school would be deficient in some programs if it didn’t have 125 square feet per pupil.” Hamill said. Eastham explained that he and Stokes, had based their space study analysis on the states' "blue book" of construction guidelines and had measured only usable classroom area at RCHS to arrive at their conclusion that the school has 43 per cent excess space over what they said was the minimum requirement of 15 feet per pupil. “1 don't know why you did that.” Hamill responded. Walter Masterson, who offered the resolution to have Stokes and Eastham conduct the space study and apparently was an ex officio member of the group himself, said he's gotten the square footage requirements from Hamill.

Specifically, she noted that Rappahannock failed to meet the 45 day time limit between referral and placement of children in special ed programs. “We do not want our children to become 1 ost... S pecia 1 education is not a waste basket." Kerry said. She noted that Rappahannock has filed a corrective action plan to correct the time lag in determining eligibility through the four evaluation components: social history, educational assessment, psychological assessment and medical assessment. Success of the corrective action will be monitored, she added. LD Teacher Needed According to Kerry, the county's special education program also has problems with staffing and classroom space. At the high school this year. 15 mentally retarded and 15 learning disabled Weems Have Daughter Rev. and Mrs. Peter A.

Kerry informed the board that this was too miich of a load for one instructor and noted that the number of LD students is enough for a full-time LD teacher. She also noted that 15 is the maximum number of EMR students for a single class to qualify for state reimbursement. At the elementary school, the primary class for younger mentally retarded students includes four trainable mentally retarded (TMR) and four educable mentally retarded (EMR) students. Although the combination w"as approved by the state department in a one year waiver with the proviso that a full time aide be employed. Kerry noted that the needs of the trainable mentally retarded are very different from the needs of EMR students. "Have you ever tried to instruct a two or three year old child with an eight or nine year old?" she asked. ‘‘There’s that much difference." According to Kerry, trainable mentally retarded youngsters must be taught self-help skills to care for their personal needs while educable mentally retarded need more academically oriented instruction. "You cannot look at the size of a child. You have to look at what he can learn," Kerry said. To combine the two groups takes "a very unusual teacher." she added.

Stating that he knew of no proposal to combine EMR and TMR students, Eastham maintained that the only plan put forward by the school board involved dividing rooms. Assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel explained that TMR students were acquired during the course of the year and without a separate teacher or room available, were included in the EMR class. The administration had asked for the waiver to continue the practice next year, he said.

In addition, she said, more individualized help is required for LD students at the high school, particularly for the students who didn’t receive early intervention. “The sooner you begin to work with a learning disabled child, the less severe the handicapping condition,” she said. Another Elementary Teacher Kerry noted that the wide range of ages among special education retarded students coupled with the difference in handicapping conditions complicated placement and staffing problems at the elementary school. She recommended an additional combined position for a learning disabled and emotionally disturbed teacher. She pointed out that the high turn-over rate among teachers also created difficulties by interfering with the continuity of educational programs and advised the school board to be supportive of its faculty. Kerry maintained that the board could try new approaches to staffing and grouping classes for the 12 mentally retarded, three emotionally disturbed, 15 LD resource and 14 selfcontained LD students at the elementary school. She stressed, however, that the children’s individual educational needs must come first and volunteered assistance of a consultant on instructional programs from the regional special education office to develop feasible alternatives. “Without an appropriate education, these children can be wasted human resources,” she concluded. Later in the meeting, superintendent Bloomer reported that he will have a recommendation ready for the next meeting on partitioning - existing special education classrooms to provide additional space. After Robert Eastham pointed out that the superintendent had been directed to have the proposal at the last meeting, Bloomer explained that he'd received Kerry’s report at the same time as the school board. Until he had some idea of what the state department might approve, there was no sense in bringing a proposal to the board that wouldn’t meet state department criteria for funding, he said. He did however, have figures to back up his recommendation against double kindergarten shifts, the other half of the proposal requested by the board. Running two half-day sessions would require three buses running an additional 100 miles each at a cost of 55 cents per mile, according to the superintendent. Counting transportation costs, bus driver pay and the loss in state funding for not providing a full-day kindergarten program, the extra expense would amount to 548,229. ‘‘So I can’t recommend the change,” Bloomer concluded. Eastham suggested tabling a decision on split shifts until Bloomer submits the other half of the requested proposal, a plan for “dividing up one of those two mammoth rooms” currently used by for EMR and TMR classes. If Bloomer can solve the problem of “the famous 14 children coming back from Piedmont, I will not vote for a split shift kindergarten," Eastham concluded. Plans For July 4 Rappahannock Farmers’ Market is mkaing plans to participate in the July Fourth celebration in the Town of Washington. George Wallsworth will chair a committee composed of Marie Atkins and Jane Cooper to make plans. Guest performer at the market this Saturday, June 14, will be Jeanne Drevas of Sperryville, who will give a demonstration of basket weaving. Town Considers Rate Hike (continued trom Page l) updating the town's zoning ordinance with John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapid an Planning District Commission and while Capelle must first get approval from his directors before formally agreeing to work on the town’s ordinance, the implication was there'd be no problem. “He’d be glad to help us with it," Miller said. The mayor suggested, to agreement from the council, they they meet first with Capelle to give him their ideas, have him draw up the revisions of the ordinance for review by the county planning commission and then act on the amendments themselves. Meeting Changed Noting that he now has a conflict with the meeting date of the council, Miller requested that it be changed. (Washington’s mayor was recently appointed to the Rappahannock County School Board which also meets on the second Tuesday of the month.) By unanimous vote, sessions of the town council will not be held on the second Wednesday of every month, beginning at 7:30 in the court house. In other action, the council approved the proposed town budget for fiscal year 1980-81 presented by treasurer Fisher. The single sheet of figures neatly typed on town stationery showed estimated income of $11,159, primarily derived from bank stock tax ($6,500), revenue sharing ($2,000), sales tax ($1,400) and A.B.C. profits ($1,000). Major expenses listed included $990 in salaries, $3,000 for maintenance. $1,750 for utilities and $1,195 for insurance, donations, advertising and other incidentals for a total proposed outlay of $6,935. Stolen Auto Recovered Eighteen year old Deborah Arlene Coombs of Leesburg abandoned a stolen car on Route 231 near Sperryville last Tuesday night. The car a 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix was reported stolen by the Loudoun County police on Saturday, June 7, by Connie Shanholta of Charleston W. Va.

Supervisors Set Tax Rate At $4.40 (Continued from Page 1) "Madam chairman, we can take a vote any time you wish,” Eastham countered. In past years, he said, the school board has “set about finding ways to spend” any extra money left at the end of the fiscal year. The current board objects to this policy, he maintained. "We don’t go around looking for things to spend money on,” Eastham said. Any money left at the end of the year will revert to the general fund and can be used to make up the 10 center difference between the advertised tax rate and revenue needs, he added. Cox interjected that any unspent funds in the school board’s current budget have already been figured into the surplus estimate. By consensus, the supervisors dropped approximately $13,000 for special education equipment, musical instruments and underground gas tanks from the proposed budget, leaving $3,300 for emergency lighting and $4,715 for Title I in the capital outlay category. Consultant Left In Looking for another place to cut, Luke called attention to the $18,000 appropriation for other contractual services—$5,000 for the school board’s expert Harrisonburg attorney, $7,000 for the services of an educational consultant and $6,000 for Title I. Eastham interjected that the school board had approved only $12,000 for Pony League In the Fauquier Pony League, Amissville shutout The Plains 2-0 last Wednesday at Amissville. Gary Settle was the winning pitcher striking out. 10 and walking three. Amissville scored its runs in the sixth as Lee Anderson walked, stole second and made it to third on a single by Andrew Ellis. Vincent Aylor hit a sacrifice fly to right center, scoring Anderson. The second run came when Ellis scored from second as Tony - Clatterbuck reached first on an error. John Embrey was the losing pitcher. The win marks Amissville’s second shutout of the season and the team has not had any earned runs scored against it.

The additional $6,000 for Title I "this board knows nothing about,” he claimed. "You’re talking about $6,000 that I know nothing about,” school board member Walter Masterson added. McDaniel explained later that the $6,369 under contractual services covered “indirect costs” to the county for Title I, including transportation, heating and electricity. If the money isn’t spent, it is carried over along with any other unexpended Title I funds by the state department of education, McDaniel said. Cutting the Title I budget will have no effect on the tax rate or the county budget since the Title programs are financed with federal dollars. If Title funds are cut on the expenditure side of the ledger, then anticipated revenue will also have to be reduced by the same amount, according to McDaniel. He also noted that Title I money can only be spent on Title I programs, not on the overall educational system. "There’s not a single school board member who understands Title I,” maintained Eastham. “No one has ever asked,” McDaniel replied. (At the May 13 meeting of the board, the school board voted unanimously with no discussion to approve the $144,236 Title I budget for 1980-81 on a motion from Allen Stokes, seconded by Walter Masterson. The single page document was submitted to the board for early approval at the request of county accountant Wally Cox. Normally, the Title I budget is not submitted to •the school board until later in the summer. Asked why an education consultant is included in the proposed 1980-81 budget. Masterson indicated the $7,000 appropriation is for a study to determine if existing space at the high school is being properly utilized. Studied Since 1975 Supervisor Dick Latham noted that the space issue has been under study since 1975. “If we haven't found out anything by now, I don’t think spending S7.000 is going to find the answer.” “We know what we have,” agreed supervisor Hubert Gilkey. "I don’t see paying someone $7,000 when we know what we have.” In addition to studying space utilization, the consultant approved by majority board vote will also evaluate curriculum offerings, Mrs. Massie interjected. According to Eastham, the school board decided to end four years of controversy over space needs by following a series of logical steps. The first, he said, was the study of existing space completed by Stokes and himself. The second should be “a professional evaluation of what goes on in those schools,” he said. If this professional evaluation determines that space is being used at its maximum efficience, then the school board will recommended a building program, according to Eastham. “If he comes out with ‘Boys, you not only have all the space you need but more,’ then I’m not going to vote for new buildings,” Eastham stated. Miller agreed that it’s poor business to embark on a building program without having the situation studied by a competent specialist. Noting that several space studies have been completed in' the past four years but none accepted, Luke asked what plans the school board has if their expert consultant recommends a $2 million construction program. “I just want to make sure that the school board will be willing to recommend some action” after $7,000 is spent on a special consultant, he said. Bite The Ballet “The present existing school board is ready to bite the bullet for the first time in four years," Eastham replied. “We’re willing to make a decision (on capital outlay)...Then, it’s up to you to decide if the county can afford it,” he told the supervisors. “I’m willing to leave the $7,000 in if the school board is willing to finally make a decision,” Gilkey said. "It’s time to fish or cut bait,” agreed Luke. For the first time, the school board is following proper steps to reach a verdict on capital outlay, Eastham said, describing earlier space reports and recommendations as “piles of worthless paper.” He added that the school board may find an educational specialist from some unnamed source who will do the evaluation work for free. Leaving the subject of educational consultants, Luke proposed cutting the category of teacher salaries by $30,000, noting that experienced teachers leaving the Rappahannock system will probably be replaced by teachers at the bottom of the salary scale with less experience. If that much is cut. Bloomer argued, it will allow the administration to consider only'first year teachers for employment. He noted that as of last Thursday, 21 teachers have indicated they won’t be back next year while only one new teacher has been officially hired. The line item in the current budget for teachers’ salaries has $31,113 left, according to Mrs. Massie. “Why can’t we give the supervisors back $16,000 and you leave our budget as it is?” she asked. Cox repeated that any surplus left in the school fund has already been counted as part of the overall county surplus. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin asked if this year’s turnover rate was normal. In the current year, Bloomer replied, 25 teachers out of a staff of 65 are new while in the 1980-81 term, 21 out of 67 will be new. "So the turn-over rate's less,” remarked H.B. Wood. Harder To Recruit "The more you take out of teachers’ salaries, the harder it will be to attract quality, experienced teachers,” Bloomer said. He added, however, that cutting the category by $3,000 “won't hurt us too much.” “Well, we’ve got a dime,” said Wood, adding $3,000 from teachers’ salaries to $13,000 from capital outlay. “1 want to start on the second one...I don’t know how but 1 know it’s there and I want to get it," he added, raising the possibility of cutting the gasoline appropriation to an amount based on $1.75 per gallon rather than $2. With little argument, the supervisors and school board members agreed to reduce the transportation appropriation by $10,000, bringing the total cut from the school budget to $26,000. In addition, the supervisors voted to keep categorical control over the school budget, meaning that the school board will have to request authorization for shifting funds between categories. Also, the school board members agreed to keep the supervisors better informed on any potential litigation facing their board. Eastham described legal fees paid to Phillip Stone, school law expert, as “insurance premiums” but assured the supervisors that the school board will also use the services of Commonwealth’s Attorney Douglas Baumgardner. “That young man’s salary is being increased so much we ought to use him when we can and we intend to.” Finishing with cuts to school proposals, the supervisors turned to adding allocations to the county’s 1980-81 budget.

Then commuting distance is an important consideration. There was a time when the simple method of locating a home was to draw a circle on the map around your place of employment and look for a house in that geographic area. No longer is this the case. With today’s super highways, you might commute to a job 20 miles away in less time than it would take from an innercity location of only five miles. Today, you should draw your circle in terms of ;us MILES minutes rather than miles. You may be passing up some wonderful homebuying opportunities, lower taxes, and better schools in distant suburban locations—only because you THOUGHT they would be too far away.

Addressing Sheriff W. A. Buntin’s request for countyowned police cars, the board agreed to appropriate ,, 515,000 for three vehicles. Buntin said he could purchase Chevrolet Impalas with 20.000 miles and new car warranties (12 months or 12.000 miles) from Avis for 53,695 each. Adding police radios, sirens and lights will jump costs to approximately 54,500 per car, according to Buntin. Can For S6,000 Cox figured the increase to the sheriffs department budget will amount to only $6,000 with the cars. He estimated travel at $3,000, price of autos $15,000, repairs $3,000, gas and oil $11,000 and liability insurance at $2,500, basing the amounts on Madison County sheriffs department expenses. From the total of $34,500, the state will reimburse approximately $18,000, according to Cox. In addition, he noted, the county won't have to pay $9,000 in mileage fees included in the proposed budget. “Actually, you’ll be better off financially with county cars,” Cox told the supervisors, adding that state reimbursement should be higher next year. "We’re talking about increasing the total budget $6,000 to buy three cars,” he concluded. “Three cars for a $6,000 investment—I don’t think we can go wrong on that," said Gilkey. Clarence Baldwin argued that the sheriff s department needed only two cars since thert’s just on deputy on duty at a time with a second man * Culpeper Art Co. 204 N. Main St. Culpeper, Va. Quality Antiques Custom Framing serving as back-up. “They got along this far with none—two is a big jump,” Baldwin said, noting that the country’s economy is in bad shape. “A lot of people are lucky to have jobs at all,” agreed H.B. Wood. Baldwin said he could understand the deputies all wanting new cars. “I’d like to have one myself,” he said. Cox reported that supplying the third car would make a difference in cost of only $2,000. Supervisor Latham agreed with Sheriff Buntin that sharing two cars between three deputies who are spread all over the county would be complicated. "I think we’re trying to be penny wise and pound foolish if we go with two cars,” Gilkey agreed. Baldwin dropped his opposition to make buying three cars a 4-1 de^ sion with Wood alone voting against the motion. The supervisors followed up the car vote with unanimous agreement to set the tax rate for 1980-81 at $4.40 per $100 of assessed value. To balance revenue with expenditures, they agreed to take $14,000 more from surplus, leaving the balance at $66,000. If revenue sharing comes in as expected, the balance in the county’s cushion will rise to $100,000 by the beginning of the year, according to Cox.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JUNE 12,1980 Vote Yes We urge Rappahannock voters to mark “yes” on their ballots in Tuesday's referendum on the method of appointing school board members. “It's time for a change. For too long, we’ve had individuals whose priority is not quality education controlling appointments to the school board. For too long, the electoral trustees have ignored the expressed wishes of the pikiple. And what can we do? Nothing. The trustees were appointed by a judge, since retired, who was himself appointed by the General Assembly years ago. Under this system, who answers «>to the people? Where’s the accountability? Giving authority for school board appointments to the board of supervisors is the only other option allowed under current Virginia law. If the referendum passes and the supervisors name school board members, we won’t see sweeping, overnight changes. Rappahannock is always slow to move—whether on a comprehensive plan, cars for the sheriff's department, a fire escape for the court house, a building inspector or the provision of an adequate public education. Change will come slowly with the board of supervisors but it won't come at all with the electoral We think the supervisors will listen to the voice of the people when it’s time to act on school board vacancies. The electoral trustees have shown time and again that they won't. But if the county’s elected officials refuse to give more than lip service to the principles of democracy, if they, like the trustees, ignore the people’s choice in favor of appointing school board members whose first allegiance is to low property taxes, then we have recourse. We can elect officials who will listen to their constituents. Least anyone misunderstand, we’re not for skyrocketing taxes that result from unlimited school spending. We don’t think Rappahannock schools should provide tennis courts, indoor swimming pool or five years of Latin, Spanish, Russian, German, French and Greek. But we must give our children an adequate education and to do that, we need science laboratories with water and gas, teachers who stay for more than one or two years and enough course offerings so that students don’t have to be pressured to take study hall because nothing else is available. For the hope of an adequate educational program in Rappahannock County, vote “yes” in Tuesday’s referendum. Our children will thank us for it later. Mood-Altering Chemicals Over the past 10 years a great deal of information has been circulated about the negative effects of abusing mood altering chemicals; that is. drugs (also alcohol) that artificially change the v ay we feel. 1 believe that the possible dangerous reactions and addictive properties of such substances have become wellknow n to the public; yet a more subtle danger has not been fully addressed—their effects on the crucial learning stage of adolescence. Adolescence. or the teenage years, is a critical transition period between childhood and adulthood. It is a time of enormous changes, the most obvious of which are physical. One has only to look at any 18-yearold and compare him-her to an old seventh-grade photograph to know that a lot has been happening over the past few years. Although the physical changes are more obvious, the emotional changes of this period are equally important. Not only do teenagers begin to look like adults, they begin to think and act like them too. Adolescence is a period of intense preparation for adult life. It is a time of increasing independence from parents, of increased experimentation with new behavior, and growing awareness of the consequences of such behavior. It is a time for formulating career choices and taking the first steps in career training. With normal increased sex drives, social interactions with members of the opposite sex become important and appropriate ways of relating to boys-girls must be learned. All of these changes are taking place more or less simultaneously and the failure to learn the proper lessons can cause difficulties in later life. Teenagers learn these lessons through trial and error—at times being successful and at times falling flat on their faces. There is no easy way to do it and temporary failures and mistakes are part of the process. Some of the greatest lessons are learned through mistakes and failures, yet these setbacks tend to produce anxiety. It is the “School of Hard Knocks" and it can be tough. There is a lot of tension during this period and at times all teenagers feel depressed, angry, upset and fearful. How teenagers cope with these feelings and what lessons they draw from them are very important, for these lessons are carried over into adult life and provide the insight that will enable them to cope with adult problems. A particular problem today’s teenagers face is the common belief that we’re supposed to feel good all of the time. When this unrealistic goal isn’t achieved because of normal problems there is a growing tendency to take something to make us feel better. Common examples of teenagers following this practice are: —if I get an “F” on a test I can have a few drinks and I won’t feel as badly. —if the boy I have a crush on fails to ask me to the dance. I can take a pill and it won't matter. —if I feel awkward and foolish at a party 1 can smoke a joint and become the life of that party. —if the team loses the game I can get drunk. —if my parents are hassling me, I can get stoned. The problem with a young person’s use of these moodaltering chemicals is that heshe tends to miss many of the important lessons that should be mastered. A teenager experiences many tensions and if he-she consistently reduces these tensions artificially he-she loses the ability to reduce them naturally. Also, if decisions and their consequences are drug-effected the teenager tends to learn considerably less from the experience. Fire Assoc. Meeting The Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association will holds its June meeting at the Washington fire house Friday, June 13 at 7:30 p.m. Members and interested persons are urged to attend. Rappahannock New* photo/D. Hutchinson SCHOOL S OUT for summer and that means more little people and bikes on the roads. Youngsters speeding down sidewalks and hopping curbs are a daily sight in Washington, with the Episcopal Church parking lot a regular gathering spot”for bikers. Parents are reminded to instruct their children on the rules of bike safety ;hu! motorists, especially in town, should be extra alert to avoid accidents. Our Rappahannock Heritage Flag Manufacturers Expect Banner Year Old Glory is flying high. With the approach of the patriotic holidays, flag makers are expecting their biggest year since the Bicentennial. ‘‘International tensions and economic problems at home have motivated many people to display a symbol of faith and hope in their county.” explained Daniel G. Connors, an executive with Annin & Co., a Verona, N.J., firm that has been making flags for 133 years. ‘‘Then, too, this is an election year, and flags will be in demand for parades, rallies, and conventions,” added Connors. Grass-Roots Demand But flag manufacturers are most impressed this year with the grass-roots demand for the national banner. “Our distributors tell us it sometimes starts on a single street, spreads to a neigh- * borhood, and encompasses a whole town,” said Connors. \ What prompts this rallying round the flag? It might be started by a prominent citizen in a community, a local organization, or a newspaper campaign. Most popular this year are the 3-by-5-foot flags that homeowners display on small poles or drape from the front porch. Annin’s largest flags measure 20 by 30 feet and are very big with fast food restaurants, gasoline stations, and other retail businesses. Dalton Holds Open Cabinet Meetings Governor John N. Dalton and the members of his Cabinet will hold the first in a series of Open Cabinet meeting at 8:00 p,m., Wednesday, June 18, at Culpeper High School. Governor Dalton, has seven Cabinet members Lieutenant Governor Charles S. Robb, and Attorney General Marshall Coleman will participate in the meeting which is open to all citizens. The Open Cabinet meetings which are being conducted in an attempt to achieve the kind of contact between the state government and the people, which Governor Dalton supports, will provide state residents with an opportunity to voice public opinion on government policy. The high school will open at 7:15 for those who want to arrive early. Those who wish to speak may sign up at the meeting. Many of these businesses are located near highways, and they used the big flags to attract trade more than anything else, Connors explained. Nothing, however, matches America’s largest flag—a star-spangled extravaganza more than 21 stories high and weighing 7 tons. The big banner wo'ild have kept Betsy Ross busy for a lifetime. Each of the stars on the two-acre flag measures 13 feet across and the stripes are 16 feet high and 411 feet long. After visiting several cities, the flag will end up at its permanent location on the Library Lines By Penny Keesey Come to the Library. We’re offering programs for all ages this summer.

Verrazano-Narrows Bridge linking Brooklyn and Staten Island. Gone With The Wind The flag succeeds a slightly smaller version of the Stars and Stripes that made an illfated appearance on the bridge during New York’s 1976 Bicentennial festivities. The wind tore it almost in half the firs time it was hoisted aloft. Steel supports will protect the new flag, which on patriotic occasions will be raised and lowered with cables powered by nine small motors. The undisputed heavyweight champ before the appearance of the Verrazano contenders was a flag that weighed a ton and a half and adorned the front of a Detroit department store on suitable holidays. Measuring 230 by 204 feet, it took 55 men to get it into place each time. Retired after 25 years’ service, Detroit’s Old Glory is folded neatly into a corner of the “Nation’s Attic,” an exhibit in the National Museum of History and Technology in Washington, DC. The original Star-Spangled Banner, hanging in the same museum, was 42 by 30 feet before decay gradually ate away about a fourth of it. Chester Gap Sets Carnival The Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department announces that its annual carnival has been scheduled for July 23-26 this year. Candidates for honorary fire chief are being sought now and young ladies between ages 13-20 are asked to contact Kim Gilkey at 6355472. Correction In last week’s edition of the Rappahannock News, the figures on Orange County tax bills, with and without land use taxation, had decimals in the wrong place. Under land use, the average Orange farmers pay $2 in taxes per acre for agricultural property. For land not in the land use program, the average tax bill is $4 for acre. By comparison, the average landowner in Rappahannock County pays slightly less than S2 per care in taxes without land use, based on current assessments. The Rappahnnock News regrets the error. Letters To The Editor More Democratic To the editor: Trustee Electoral Boards have appointed County School Board members in Virginia since 1877 and after 103 years of experience with the system, 63 of Virginia’s counties still prefer it to appointment by the Supervisors. Only 32 counties, or half that number, have changed over to appointment by the Supervisors (according to the records of the Virginia School Boards Association). Those who want to change over to appointment by the Supervisors say that this system is more “democratic”. So they get the Judge to set the special Referendum on June 17, when they know that a great number of qualified voters will be busy in their hay fields and otherwise occupied. The law says that the purpose of the Referendum is to “take the sense of the qualified voters on the question”. 2040 people in Rappahannock are said to have voted in the last Presidential Election; we will be lucky if half that number turn out for the Referendum. In that event, we will be “taking the non-sense of the qualified voters”. If the petitioners had asked the Judge to set the Referendum for the next general election, in November, we would really know what the majority of the qualified voters wanted. We would also be saving the $7-9,000 (say, $7 to $9 per vote) we must now take out of the county’s surplus to stage the Referendum on June 17 because, after 103 years of using the Trustee Electoral Board system, the petitioners could not wait four more months to include the Referendum on the ballot in November. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Flint Hill (Editor’s note: Mr. Eastham’s figures on the cost of the referendum are grossly in error. According to information from clerk Diane Bruce, verified by election board chairman J. G. Carney, the Politically Responsible To the editor: I would like to express my opinion concerning the upcoming vote on the Referendum that will give the people an opportunity to choose whether or not they would like to change the present system of selecting school board members. The very opportunity to make this choice is a progressive step in the right direction. The basic reason we should vote to change the present system is to give people the opportunity to have a greater voice in such matters. 1 have never understood the reasoning behind the cumbersome system that we presently are shackled with, a judge appointing board members who in turn appoint the school board, which seems so unnecessary. A system that would be much more efficient is proposed in the referendum, one which so many of our counties across the state are now using, i nis system puts the responsibility on the executive board of our county, the Board of Supervisors, and the supervisors are directly responsible to the people. This is a move in the direction of democracy, a system of the people, by the people and for the people, directly in line with our heritage. 1 have heard it said by those who oppose such a change that this will put the schools of our county directly in the political arena. Let me say, this, I have worked in the middle of the politics of this county in the last few years and the center of attention has been our schools. It boils down to hard economics and the control of the budget of our county. The schools, for those of you who may not know, make up 75 to 80 percent of the total county budget. The Supervisors should have the responsibility of appointing the school board members. The supervisors are politically responsible to the citizens and the voters. That is democracy. That is what Rappahannock County should be. RONALD L. WILEY Sperryville referendum will cost approximately $1,750. The breakdown of expenses is $75 for ballots, $500 for use of five poling sites, $30 for each of 30 officers of election who will staff the polls on election day June 17, approximately $120 for officers of election who will pick up and deliver ballots prior to the election, $% for legal advertising for the referendum, $30 to the clerk’s office and $30 for miscellaneous costs including telephone and postage.) Impartial? To the Executive Editor: I remember a few short years ago when you were reporting the meetings and events of the county for the Rappahannock News. You reported the news in a fair and impartial manner reserving your editorial comments and opinions for the editorial page. You did not pit citizen against citizen or neighbor against neighbor, in short your reports were fair and did not divide the community. Frankly Sarah, I feel that many of your subscribers agree basically with Mr. Arthur Smoot's views concerning the Rappahannock News. Please, for the sake of the community and your paper, resume your role of covering the official meetings of Rappahannock. Let someone else sell advertising. This would be a great service to our Rappahannock. NEWBILL MILLER Politics Out To the editor: The claim made by certain individuals in Rappahannock that the present method of selecting school board members keeps politics out of education is pure propaganda. I have no objections to Newbill Miller being my representative on the school board at this time. However, how does the School Board Trustee Committee give credibility to their non-political philosophy when this man is the elected mayor of Washington, Va.? Because he is an elected public official, that makes him a politician. If you are keeping politics out of education, then why would you appoint a politician to the school board? JOHN B. SUMMERS Washington Thank You To the editor: A sincere “thank you” to the people of Rappahannock who have subscribed to our Community Concert Series for the 1980-81 season. Because of your support we have more than met our goal in subscriptions. We have gained many new members. Through the generosity of individuals, businesses and clubs, we will have a number of student memberships to present to Mrs. Donald Bomberger, music teacher in our county schools. These tickets will provide a cultural opportunity for some of our talented and interested students and will help to develop our audience and sponsors in the years to come. Five counties, Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock, have formed this association to bring a concert series to our area. We have reciprocal agreements with the Community Concert Associations of Manassas and Fairfax. During the past season, it was possible for our subscribers to attend 11 concerts for the price of our subscription. The same opportunity will be offered again this year. With your enthusiastic support and that of the members in the other counties, our concert series will continue and as interest increases we can work for even finer programs. In September, all subscribers will receive tickets for the coming season and a schedule of our three concerts. In addition there will be enclosed the schedule of the program offered by the Manassas and Fairfax groups. We very much appreciate your help. JOSEPHINE T. FRANTZ Chairman Rappahannock

Suthard To Head VSP Colonel D.M. Slane, Superintendent of the Department of State Police, confirmed today the selection of Captain R. L. Suthard to command the new Seventh Division to be headquartered at Alexandria. Colonel Slane said that the division, in planning for several years and approved at Governor Dalton’s request by the 1980 General Assembly, will include counties of Loudoun, Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William. It will become operational July 1. "Because of the density of population and the high volume of traffic in Northern Virginia,” said Colonel Slane, “we have been aware of the need to establish a division headquarters in the Alexandria area for a number of years. However, a project of this magnitude does take considerable planning with regard to funding, staffing and—most important—serving the best interests of Virginia’s citizens. “We also are very fortunate to be able to transfer Captain Suthard, at his request, to head up the new division. He gained invaluable experience as commander of our Second Division headquarters at Culpeper from March 1977 to August 1979 and is thoroughly familiar with the area.” Captain Suthard, the Department’s Property and Finance Officer since August 1979, has been with the Department since April 1954. He is a native of Calieo.

lIlUIMJttV, June 1*-, \ Time To Spring Clean The Fireplace BLACKSBURG—An old fashioned chore may be back in style again. Traditional spring cleaning needs to include the fireplace too, both for safety and looks, said Rosemary C. Goss. Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home management. First, the chimney should be cleaned by a professional, especially if a woodbuming stove is inserted in the fireplace or in the fireplace flue. There is more creosote built up in the chimney with a wood-burning stove than with a regular fireplace. For safety, the creosote should be cleaned from the chimney. After the chimney cleaning, remove the ashes from the fireplace opening. Scoop out the major portion, then use a vacuum cleaner to remove those that remain. "Be sure that there are no live ashes or large wood chips that would damage the vacuum.” Mrs. Goss said. While removing the ashes, make sure the damper is open and no fan or air conditioner is operating in the room which could cause a breeze and ‘circulate’ the ashes. If there are bad smoke stains on the exterior of the fireplace, it might be a signal that there is a problem with its operation. A professional should check it. Smoke stain removal is not always easy. It depends on the type of fireplace surface. In many cases these processes may have to be repeated in order to remove all of the stain. For slate, tile, or brick, wash with an all-purpose cleaner and rinse thoroughly with clear water.

Marble can be cleaned with a mild detergent and must be rinsed thoroughly. Stone can be scoured with scouring powder and a stiff brush. Then rinse thoroughly. A pumice solution is very helpful in cleaning fireplace surfaces, Mrs. Goss said. Mix one-half cup of detergent in one quart of hot water and add one half pound of powdered pumice stone and one-half cup of household ammonia and mix well. Powdered pumice can be obtained at most hardware stores. After brushing off excess smoke stains with a stiff brush, wet the stone with the pumice solution and let it absorb for half an hour. Scrub and rinse thoroughly with clear water. Wood burning stove fireplace inserts and stoves should be cleaned, dried and even painted with a heat resistant paint to maintain their appearance. Heat resistant paint is available at hardware and paint shops. “If rust spots develop, scour them with a fine steel wool of a 000 or 0000 gauge before painting," said Mrs. Goss who is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Home Economics. Accessories also should be cleaned. Fireplace screens can be vacuumed. Then, using a brush, wash the screen with a mild detergent and water. Brass tools can be cleaned with brass polish. Iron tools can be washed with a mild detergent, rinsed and dried. They can be sprayed with heat resistant paint. “When the fireplace is clean and ready for summer, you might want to place a plant or two in it,” she said. "As long as the plants receive adequate light and moisture, they will do well and look great."

OLD ACQUAINTANCES are not forgotten—Leopold Steindl of Vienna, Austria and Lyle Rector of Marshall, formerly of Rappahannock, met this week after an interim of 34 years. Reunion After 34 Years Leopold Steindl arrived lr America from Vienna Austria, for the second time on Monday, June 9. His visit was arranged by his family as a 60th birthday gift. The gift of airline tickets to Virginia fulfilled a longtime dream ot Steindl's to visit his friend Lyle Rector of Marshall (formerly of Rappahannock). Steindl and Rector met ir 1944 at New Orleans Armj Base. At that time, Steind was a POW who was assigned work as an in terpreter and Rector was a sergeant assigned to the Army base. When Germany overran Austria during World War II, Steindl was inducted into the German army, thus his first "visit” to the United States. Until Monday, Steindl and Rector had not seen each News From Flint Hill • Mr. and Mrs. T.

About August 15, 1946, Rector received the first of many letters from the POW who had become his friend. The two men had established a friendship which even time and the distance across the Atlantic Ocean didn’t diminish. There are several parallels in the lives of these two men. One example is that in each family the eldest and second children were born in 1948 and 1950, respectively. And each family has three children now. What would Steindl most like to see during this visit to America? The capitol in Washington, D.

All age groups will be included in the accidents with the predominant groups being those in the 15-24 and 25-64 age brackets. Those under age 15 will account fot a considerable number of injuries also. “Many of those injured will not actually be involved in using lawn mowers, but will only be present where a mower is being used,” said Glen H. Hetzel, Extension safety specialist at Virginia Tech. “Most of these injuries can be prevented if a few rules are followed and precautions taken.” The Tech College of Agriculture and Life Sciences faculty member said that the following rules are intended to reduce the chances of injury when power mowers are being used. —Walk over the area to be mowed before starting and remove sticks, stones, bones, toys, bottles and cans, and other trash. —Replace deflectors and shields on mowers before using. —Keep the blade sharp to allow operating the mower engine at a reduced speed. —When using rotary mowers, wear heavy shoes, long pants and safety glasses or goggles. —Clear the area to be mowed of pets and people before starting. Children should be required to play on the other side of the house when lawns are being mowed. —Always operate walkbehind mowers across slopes and riding mowers up and down the slope. —Push hand mowers, never walk backwards and pull the mower. —Children under 12 should be carefully supervised and trained to use mowers safely. The person using the push mower should weigh at least one and onehalf times as much as the mower being pushed. — Replace defective mufflers on noisy mower engines. Announcing...

Maligned Bats Face Destruction of Caves WA5H1INO 1UN — Merlin Tuttle doesn't like the expression "blind as a bat." Bats, he points out. aren’t blind. He winces when somebody calls bats verminous and filthy. Their parasites, according to Tuttle, are no worse than those of dogs and cats. And those chilling stories about bats attacking people and getting caught in their hair really bother him. "I’ve worked with 150 species for 20 years in a FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE ._incorporated_ REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Rabies Uncommon Less than 1 percent of all bats are thought to have rabies. Fewer than 10 people in this country have died of rabies caused by bats in the 34 years since record keeping began. People are rarely bit en, Tuttle said, except when they handle a sick bat found on the ground. Tuttle, curator of mammals at the Milwaukee Public Museum, sometimes gets dozens of calls in a single week from panic-stricken citizens on a bat "hotline" he operates. If. for example, bats have settled behind the caller’s chimney. Tuttle might advise that the animals be left alone. They probably aren't doing any harm, he says. Contrary to what many of his callers might think, bats are not birds. They are the only true flying mammals. There are about 900 kinds of bats in the world, representing one-fifth of all -mammal spedes. but despite their numbers they are little understood. ’’They’re nocturnal, somewhat secretive, often seen only as silhouettes, and WARNING Article II, Paragraph 2 (3) of the 1973 Zoning Ordinance of Rappahannock County, as amended, is quoted as follows: “ANY SIGN IS PROHIBITED WHICH: 3) If fastened, placed, painted, pasted or attached in any way to, in or upon any tree, fence, public utility pole, rock, curbstone, sidewalk, lamppost, hydrant, bridge, highway marker or another sigh, except such as may be (1) required by law, (2) so placed by a duly authorized governmental agency, (3) so placed not as an advertisement, but as a warning against hunting, fishing or trespassing.” Violators will be prosecuted.

Payne ■ they come out of eerie places like caves," he pointed out. Turned into monsters by myths, bats have lived in the shadow of Count Dracula and the like. But bats often are gentle, docile creatures, Tuttle reports, and some can readily be trained. And bats help control insects. One insect-eating bat, for instance. can gobble up 1,000 bugs in an hour. Some bats spend their lives in caves, while others use caves only for hibernation. This dependence now threatens their existence. Use and destruction of caves by explorers, souvenir hunters, developers, and others has meant huge declines in some U. S. bats in recent years. On Endangered List Four bats—the gray. Indiana, Virginia big-eared, and Ozark big-eared—have been placed on the U. S. endangered species list. Wildlife officials believe, for instance, there might be only 200 Ozark big-eared bats left, half of them clustered in one cave. Such gatherings are common among bats. "In some caves there are a million or more bats, and if something blocks the entrance. that could be it for the whole million," said Ronald Nowak of the U. S. Office of Endangered Species. Although there are an estimated 450,000 Indiana bats, he said, most live in a dozen caves, so "it’s almost like there are only a dozen animals.” Almost all of the country’s known gray bats winter in only nine caves, nearly twothirds of them grouped in a single one in northern Alabama. Any noise or light, such as an explorer’s headlamp, can arouse a bat colony from hibernation and deplete 10 to 30 days of stored energy. Some might eventually starve. "Just walking through a cave at the wrong time can cause all the bats to pack up and leave, or send the babies into the water on the cave floor,” said Richard LaVal, bat biologist for the state of Missouri, home of many of the country’s endangered baits. taking a tourist attraction out of a cave also can mean trouble for its residents. Several years ago at Marvel Cave, a tourist stop in the Missouri Ozarks, a dance Floor was constructed near the hibernating area of the cave’s 150,000 gray bats. Later the dance floor caught fire and thousands of bats Auto Travel Decline Breaks Steady Growth Record Auto travel declined marginally while commercial truck and bus traffic climbed almost 5 per cent on Virginia’s major roads last /ear, the State Department of Highways and Transportation said this week. In its annual report on traffic counts, the department said that although autp traffic dropped only 0.5 of 1 per cent, the downward trend Proke an almost steady growth pattern dating back »ome 35 years. Only in 1974, when gasoline was scarce because jf the Arab oil embargo, had passenger car travel declined n the years since World War [I. Ordinarily, it has inrreased about 5 to 6 per cent innually. The decrease apparently esulted from concern about gasoline supplies during the iummer, efforts of some motorists to conserve fuel, ind substantially higher fuel prices. While auto traffic was lown slightly, however, travel py commercial trucks and buses rose 4.9 per cent over 1978. Altogether, all types of vehicles traveled an average of 58, 487,000 miles a day on Virginia’s 8,670 miles of interstate, arterial, and primary routes. Combined travel by all types of vehicles—cars, trucks, and buses—was up about 1 per cent. Compared to 1978, travel by Virginia-registered cars increased last year from 58.7 per cent to 59.8 per cent of the total traffic. Travel by out-of-state cars using Virginia roads declinded from 14.5 per cent to about 12.4 per cent of the total, Reflecting a dropoff in longdistance trips. Interstate 95, with 1.4* pei cent of the road mileage carried 16.8 per cent ol trailer-truck traffic and 23.5 per cent of the travel-by can from other states. Virginia’s busiest section of highway was Interstate 95 between Springfield and Interstate 495 (the Capital Beltway) in Northern Virginia, with an average oi 143,450 vehicles daily. Information from the department’s annual traffic counts is used to assess the need for road improvements and in planning improvement projects, and by the travel industry and others in the private sector in identifying traffic trends and planning new facilities.

The bat population, now only 3,000, has never recovered. Visitors to Marvel Cave now, however, are steered around bat roosts. Deliberate Torching Sometimes bats are killed intentionally. At a cave in Tennessee, large numbers of bats were torched so they wouldn't scare off tourists. To protect bats, state and federal bodies have bought some caves and erected gates at their entrances that allow bats in but keep people out. Missouri, for example, has acquired and protected 15 caves. Some states, however, take a dimmer view of bats. Fifteen have approved the use of a lethal powder against "nuisance bats.” And bats are the only animal DDT can be legally used on, although it often merely sickens them, leaving them susceptible to rabies. Dan Peacock, of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, which oversees state eradication programs, acknowledges that other methods, such as boarding up roosts, are preferable to poisoning bats. “Some states are acting out of fear and lack of information," Peacock said. From the flying fox bat, with a wingspan of more than 5 feet, to the dainty Philippine bamboo bat, which weighs less than a dime, bats come in all sizes, shapes, and descriptions. There’s the leaf-chinned bat, the hog-nosed bat, the hairy fruit-eating bat, the spotted bat, and the Mexican freetailed bat. Some bats' faces look like mice, while the face of one species resembles a dog. Even their ears vary greatly, ranging from small flaps in some species to the two-inch winglike ears of the spotted bat. Although bats do have eyesight, their hearing is probably the most important feature of bats found in this country. It is part of a sonar system superior to any radar developed by man. By projecting sounds with its larynx and listening for them to bounce back, a bat navigates, locates obstacles, and catches its dinner. Some species can even choose favorite sizes and species of insects in flight by means of this sonar, known as echolocation. Some bat species dine solely on insects. Others comb the waters, swooping down to catch fish on the surface that have beer pinpointed by echolocation. Still others feed on fruit. Hundreds of plant species depend on , bats foi pollination and seed dispersal. Vampires Stick to Blood Vampire bats, found in the New World south of the Mexican border, feed on fresh blood, usually taken from sleeping animals. After making an incision in the skin, the bat forms a tube with its tongue and draws the blood out. Bats are of the order News From Boston By MRS.

Chiroptera, which means "hand wing,” and the bones in their wings are the same as those in the human hand, only elongated. Bats can use their wings to scoop insects out of the air and pop them into their mouths. At birth, a bat already weighs one-third as much as its mother. Within three weeks a baby bat must learn to fly, hunt, and return to itscave. There it must execute a midair flip and grasp the ceiling, where it will hang. If it is a female, it might later give birth in the same position. Betty Jane were weekend guests of the Gaines. Mr. and Mrs. E. J.

He acknowledged that he'd supplied information on size guidelines for classrooms, library and other school areas but stated that he hadn't given Masterson the figure of 40 students to divide into the room size to determine square feet of area needed per child. "Forty is not a legitimate class size to divide by." he maintained, noting that the average allowable class size under Standards of Quality is 25 pupils. Even physical education classes, usually the largest class groups in a school, rarely exceed 30 students, according to the building supervisor. New school board member Newbill Miller asked Hamill if he knew of consulting firms that conducted studies to determine maximum utilization of space. Hamill acknowledged that firms of this type have done work for schools throughout the state but noted that the state department, as a matter of policy, will not recommend a particular firm. Eastham reported that there are differences of opinion in the community as to whether the high school needs additional space. The current school board, in addressing the capital outlay issue, is following a logical series of steps, the first of which was to measure "exactly what we have," said Eastham. "It’s the first time that’s ever been done," he claimed. "We have to know how we're using the space we have. . . In other words, what is going on in the schools," Eastham continued. Towards this end. he said, the board has appropriated $7,000 for a "totally independent person" to conduct a curriculum, space and scheduling evaluation. Eastham asked for Hamid's response to this approach. No Reason Acknowledging first that he is neither politician nor public speaker, Hamill said he was sorry the space committee had gone to all the trouble of measuring the high school building. ‘‘1 can’t see any possible reason for having done so. . . There’s no reason to measure a building when you have the plans tfor the building's original construction).” He detailed a procedure of his own for determing space adequacy. The first step is coming up with a projection on enrollment so the school board knows how many students it has to serve. Hamill said. Superintendent William Bloomer responded that projections on the high school based on current grades moving up estimates enrollment in five years at 520. "That’s not as accurate a way as it can be done.” Hamill said. Later he volunteered to do a demographic study to give Rappahannock a more scientific projection, explaining that he will plug information on birth rate, live births, number of oneyear olds entering school as first graders six years later and other statistical data into a complicated formula. After arriving at an enrollment projection, said Hamill. the next step is to determine what classes will be offered and how many students are expected to take each class. The school board’s educational “DEER RUN”, MIDDLEBURG Featured in ‘House Beautiful’, this estate has an equisitely-built, tastefully decorated 4-Bedroom New England “Saltbox" colonial nestling among trees above the Little River, just minutes from the town. 25 acres of woods and fenced pasture for horses give privacy and quiet.

N ttSOAf 550 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, Va. kP03) 347-7790 Metro; 273-4722„ philosophy comes into play in deciding on course offerings, he said, adding that as a rule throughout the state, vocational courses have been found to be inadequate. Then, a decision must be reached on how many classes of each course will be scheduled, Hamill said. Using English as an example, he said the total number of students who take the course are divided by average class size. "Not 40—you'd have to figure the class size at 25,” Hamill said, adding that most school divisions used 23. If 150 students are expected to take English, that works out to one classroom for six periods a day, Hamill said. This same process must be followed for math, social studies, languages, science, art, . home economics, business, vocational—all areas of instruction, the building supervisor continued. Then, in the final step to determine space adequacy, the existing class spaces are subtracted from the rooms needed to serve the projected enrollment to arrive at the number of rooms that must be constructed if the educational program as envisioned by the school board is to be carried through. "Any consultant that you get can’t make it any simpler.” Hamill advised the board. Eastham maintained that no member of the board is competent to evaluate course offerings and scheduling. Analysis requires a specialist, he argued. Board Is Specialist “A specialist can’t tell you how many kids should be enrolled in English—you’ve got to decide that. . . You collectively are the specialist,” he told the board members. “Or you can find someone to speak for you," Hamill said, describing the school board's insistence on an outside consultant as ‘‘trying to reinvent the wheel.” He noted that the school board, if satisfied with the high school program, will probably make only minor alterations instead of sweeping changes. “Frankly, we’re not sure," countered Eastham, adding that there’s disagreement on the board as to whether the high school program is adequate. "Fine, then you can improve it." Hamill said. He pointed out, however, that the board has only so much leeway since the high school program must satisfy both the Standards of Quality and graduation requirements. “You can try to reinvent the wheel but whatever you do, it still has to be round with a hole in the middle,” he said. "1 don’t think you’ll be any better off with a consultant,” Hamill continued. “If you hire a specialist, he’ll take the information you’ve given him and hand it right back to you and say you can do this /or you can do this. You’ll still have to make the decision. . . If a consultant is worth the money, he must tell you something you don’t already know. I don’t think he can,” Hamill concluded.

"Bricks and mortar is what your problem is. . . I don’t say I’m a consultant who’s going to give you a vast report,” said Hamill. He added, however, that he can complete an evaluation that’s “completely independent, completely correct and completely supplemental ti the groundwork you lay.” Eastham asked for assurances that the state department would be impartial and not swayed in favor of either position—building or not building. Study Already Done “Why should the state department be biased? 1 don’t give a hoot in hell whether you build or don't build," Hamill countered. He added that the state department had recently completed an evaluation of RCHS space in light of state requirements in the Standards of Quality. “We’ve already done it. We concluded you needed X number of spaces,” he said, apparently in reference to the information complied for the last joint supervisor-school board capital outlay committee by Dr. Bloomer, supervisor chairman E.P. Luke and county engineer Fanning Baumgardner. (The space study report presented by Luke in March called for 14,188 square feet of new space at RCHS including three science rooms with laboratory facilities, two business rooms, art room, music room, additions to library and cafeteria, four restrooms, teacher workroom, guidance counselor office and locker room.) “You don’t have the spaces. You don’t have to build them.” Hamill said. "You can send the pupils to some other place—to the elementary school or you can cut the high school down to tenth through twelfth.” In addition to space analysis and recommendation, the state department will also provide expert help on curriculum and scheduling as well as assistance in filling out forms for energy conservation loans and grants, according to Hamill. In addition, he noted that Literary Fund loans for school construction are still available for up to SI million I at three per cent interest. “Mr. Hamill, you might 1 have a deal," concluded Robert Eastham when the building supervisor finished with his presentation. The board, however, took no formal action on the offer of services from the state department of education. Later in the meeting, Walter Masterson reported in executive session on reference checks he completed on the educational consulting services provided by KDA architectural firm in Reston for $7,000.
