Judge Halts NPE A Camp Meeting By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock IWt Staff Writer In Warrenton on Tuesday, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson issued a restraining order enjoining the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals from implementing its decision to grant a temporary variance to the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association. Robertson's order also enjoins the NPEA from conducting its annual Holiness camp meeting on June 20-29 at the Association’s Castleton property. In granting the restraining order requested by attorney David Konick on behalf of adjoining property owners, Robertson cited constitutional protection of the right to due process. Tuesday’s ruling reversed Robertson’s earlier decision of June 13 to deny the petition for a restraining order. In the original denial, Robertson held that the landowners opposed to the NPEA campground variance had failed to show they would suffer irreparable harm if the restraining order was not granted. As manadated by low, Robertson agreed at the June 13 coart session to review the BZA’s decision to grant the variance but stated that he couldn’t schedule a fullblown hearing on the merits of the case until early July, at least a week after the contested temporary variance has expired. Timing was the key to the argument put forward by Konick on Tuesday. He argued that his clients have a constitutional right to have their appeal of the BZA’s decision heard “at a meaningful time and in a Restraining Order Upheld Mr. Justice PofF and Mr. Justice Compton of the Supreme Court of Virginia heard the NPEA case Wednesday at noon in Richmond and affirmed the decision handed down by Judge Shore Robertson. They ruled that Judge Robertson did not abuse his discretion in granting the restraining order and therefore the restraining order will remain in effect. meaningful manner." If a hearing to determine the merits of the BZA's action in granting the campground variance can’t be scheduled until after the permitted camping period is over, then the opposing landowners will effectively lose their right to due process, he maintained. According to Konick, NPEA has no vested right to the privileges granted in the BZA’s variance until either the 30 day time limit allowed by law for appeal of that decision expires or until the decision is affirmed by the circuit or supreme court. “It's got to be recognized that they (the NPEA) went ahead, printed their flyers, organized and planned their activities before they even applied for a variance...Tftey created the situation they’re in now,” Konick maintained. “Self-created hardship shouldn't provide special treatment under zoning laws.” Not Constitutional Right The constitution protects against the deprivation of life, liberty and property without due process of law, according to Jonathan Lynn, attorney for NPEA. He maintained that the right of review in the certiorari proceeding sought by Konick’s clients is not a constitutionally protected interest. "At best, it’s a statutory privilege authorized by the state legislature,” he argued. Lynn further noted that procedure for review is not unconditional, that it does not automatically stay the challenged proceedings. (Continued on Page 10) _ —«1<fhwu A N«w.

Final tally from the six precincts was 1,014 for the change and 116 in favor of keeping the present method of appointment. The breakdown was: Appointed by Supervisors By Electoral Trustees Flint Hill Chester Gap Washington Sperryville Woodville Amissville 168 77 235 192 155 187 25 4 27 32 21 7 Turn out on Tuesday was suprisingly high for a single issue referendum. Comparing ballots in each magisterial district with the votes cast last year in the contest for commonwealth’s attorney, the most hotly contested race on the ballot in November's general election, the turn-out was 51 per cent for Stonewall-Hawthome, 52, per cent for Hampton, 61 per cent for Wakefield, 70 per cent for Piedmont and 56 per cent for Jackson. The lopsided margin in the referendum can be viewed as backlash against recent appointments by the electoral trustees which have sparked controversy throughout Ahe ’WtntTy. ~ -- .* Last week, electoral trustee Christine Johnston submitted her resignation in writing to senior circuit court Judge Carlton Penn while C. E. Johnson, chairman of the electoral trustees board, tendered his resignation the previous week. With authorization for school board appointments passed to the supervisors as of June 17, they will have the power to fill terms from Jackson and Piedmont Districts which expire on June 30. The trustees previously named persons to fill the two seats, appointing Nancy Reeve from Piedmont and reappointing Beverly Massie from Jackson. Although the supervisors are not legally bound to confirm either appointment, both E. P. Luke from Piedmont and J.R. Latham from Jackson have both publicly stated that they will support the candidate from their district previously named by the trustees. As standard practice in other localities where appointments to the school board are made by the board of supervisors, the supervisor from the district where the vacancy occurs places a name in nomination for approval by the rest of the board. BZA Authorizes First Legal Still By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff WViler With a permit from the federal government and a variance issued last Thursday by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals, Donald M. Davies is ready to operate the county’s first legal still. "I regret very much to say that what little alcohol is going to be produced, ain’t gonna be drinkable." Davies joked. Instead. Davies explained to the BZA, he will be experimenting with new methods of reducing the time and cost of turning agricultural products into fuel. Davies said he plans to field test a “fast fermenting device” developed in Berkeley. Calif., laboratories “by the UKS^ DepawmeM of Agriculture for reducing the fermentation time of corn Hardship Cited In Trailer Approval Rappahannock’s Board of Zoning Appeals members, in a split decision, last Thursday issued the county’s only current variance for a trailer as a permanent residential dwelling. The variance to the zoning ordinance’s prohibition against mobile homes was granted to Annie Mary Jackson on the grounds of hardship. Section 16-2-2 of the ordinance stipulates th^t a variance may be granted if physical characteristics of the property are such that strict application of the ordinance would prohibit or restrict use of the land. According to Section 16, the BZA may grant a variance after determining from the evidence presented that such action is necessary to “alleviate a clearly demonstrable hardship approaching confiscation as distinguished from a special privilege or convenience sought by the applicant." According to Mrs. Jackson, she lives in a house on the parcel that she owns in Jackson District while her son and his family reside in the mobile home located on the same property. The trailer has been in place since before the zoning ordinance was adopted and thus is a legal non-conforming use under the “grandfather clause.” Mrs. Jackson told the bz.a that the furnace, plumbing, and roof of the old trailer have completely deteriorated. The mobile unit is a “fire hazard”, she said, and citing the high cost of repairs. Mrs. Jackson maintained that there's “nothing to do with it except dump it and buy* a new one.” In response to a question from commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, Mrs. Jackson explained that the trailer is on cinder blocks instead of a concrete foundation. The new trailer, she said, will be slightly larger and will go in the same location on a complete foundation. She noted that her property is located on Route 669, a deadend gravel road 3'/i miles north of Amissville. “Who’s going to live in the house?” asked Kermit Weakley. Mrs. Jackson replied that her son, his wife and two children will reside in the mobile home. Zoning Administrator Evan McNear reported that he’d discussed the issue with Baumgardner and that the commonwealth attorney confirmed that the BZA had the right to grant a variance for the trailer. Baumgardner added that Mrs. Jackson’s plan to replace the old trailer with a new unit doesn’t fall under the alterations and renovations allowed on onconforming uses. The only way the new trailer can be approved, he said, is for Mrs. Jackson to obtain a variance by showing a hardship. "Are there other trailers on the property?” George Muth asked. “Yes, but they were all there before the regulations (in the zoning ordinance were adopted),” McNear replied. (Continued on Page 4) from days to hours. The second area he plans to investigate. Davies said, relates to dehydrating agents—corn starch, cracked corn. corn meal and cellulose—that may absorb water from the vapor as it rises from the Seated mash through the column above the still. If a feasible dehydrating agent can be found, it will reduce cost and time involved in purifying alcohol to the 200 proof level required for mixing with gasoline to make gasohol. according to Davies. Davies noted that both the federal and Virginia state governments are encouraging the production of ethanol, the form of alcohol used for fuel. Farm Bureaus also endorse alcohol fuel production, he said, as a means of improving the income of fanners and increasing the supply of reasonably priced fuel. BZA member George Muth asked if the experiments will pose any danger from explosion. “If the alcohol doesn’t explode, it’s not going to work in a car,” Davies replied. He pointed out, however, that with the low volume of alcohol anticipated—only 45 gallons per day—the possibility of an accident will be small. Davies said he’ll build his still at the intersection of two streams on his property, located at Route 231 and the Slate Mills Road. The cinder block structure to house the '' “ ^Continued on Page 10) —tt-pj--1- Wrrrt /q Utkm AMISSVILLE’S ANNUAL CARNIVAL sponsored by the fire department opened last night at the carnival grounds west of the village.

Gas Use Declines . Virginia's gasoline consumption dropped 7.4- per cent in April this year, compared to the same period last year..’ strengthening the conservation trend and aiding the state in meeting consumption levels set by the federal government. Figures released by the Virginia Office of Emergency and Energy Services (OEES) indicate 214.040.000 gallons^ were consumed in April 1980.^ compared to 231.008,000 gallons in April 1979. Reduced consumption in April continued the trend towards conservation and placed the state well under the US Department of Energy's consumption quota. Reductions of 3.1 per cent. 5. 1 per cent, and 13.0 per cent for January. February and March of this year compared to corresponding months in 1979, were reported earlier by OEES. In addition, Virginia’s gasoline consumption in April was 6.353,000 gallons below the USDOE target of 220.393.000. State officials viewed the reduction in gasoline consumption as one means of attacking dependence on foreign oil and inflation. “Every month that we use less gasoline, we’re relaxing our dependence on imported oil. It’s that cost of imports that feeds our inflation,” said George L. Jones. Coordinator, OEES. Virginia is voluntarily monitoring gasoline consumption. using figures set by the federal government as guidelines. Congress’s response to last year’s gasoline shortage, the Emergency and Energy Conservation Act of 1979, authorizes the USDOE to establish monthly consumption figures for each state. In the event of a nationwide fuel shortage, elements of the EECA plan could be made mandatory, and Virginia would be required to comply with the federal target figures. + + + + Used spice boxes make handy containers for tacks and small tools.

(OUpanrfp— V K M 0 Top Graduates Give Farewell Addresses Time after time during the past two weeks, we've heard compliments for the speeches presented during Rappahannock High School's graduation exercises. The Rappahannock News takes pleasure in printing the remarks of the valedictorian, Marion Eastham and Salutatorian. Tony Armentrout. for our readers to share. Bv MARION EASTHAM I’d like to again welcome you all here tonight. As I look across the auditorium, I see many familiar faces: our faculty and administration, parents, relatives, friends, and of course fellow graduates. I know I’m speaking for the whole class when I say how much it means to us for you to be here. When 1 was thinking about what I was going to say tonight, we were learning the song. '‘Sometimes", in choir. (Also our last selection tonight) It’s a very short song, but I think it grasps an important idea. The only words are: "Sometimes not often enough, we reflect upon the good things And these thoughts always center around those we love. And 1 think about those people who mean so much to me. And for so many years have made me so very happy. And 1 count the times I have forgotten to say Thank You. And just how much I love them." 1 think we all realize how much we owe our parents, they have shown so much love and support for us. You can go to any basketball game and pick out the parent of a player. They're the ones cheering louder than anyone else: they’re your biggest fan. They've tried to teach us responsibilities, what’s right, and what’s wrong. They deserve a lot of the credit tonight too. We've worked hard and I know there have been trying moments in school for each of us. However, as our class gathers together for the last time, all of our memories of these past 12 years are very happy indeed. We’ve learned together, played together^ but most important we’ve grown together. Another group of people who have helped us learn and grow are our teachers. 1 think the greatest thing you can do For someone is to instill the desire to learn in them and teach them something. Your education is something no one can ever take away from you. We had an evaluating committee come to the school this spring and they commented on the good relationship between students and teachers here at R.C.H.S. I think that’s an advantage to a small school, everybody knows everyone else. If something happened funny in third period, the majority of the school will probably know by lunch. I think thats good, we are all individuals to the teachers. A student is much more likely to perform for someone who expects a lot from them as a person. We’ve been respected by our teachers and ad First Baptist Activities The Rappahannock NAACP Branch will meet Friday, June 27, at 7:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church dining hall. All members are urged to attend. The Bible class of the First Baptist Church will meet Monday, June 23, at 7:30 p.m. The classes are conducted by the pastor, the Rev. W. R.

Well, these two groups of people have been preparing us for the outside world and now we’re passing through that big door. Sometimes it’s scary to peek out, but mostly its exciting. Everyone has to agree that America is still the land of opportunity. There are so many choices and decisions in your life. People are in constant search for a purpose in their life or for success. Whatever career you decide on, be the best at it you possibly can. Learn all you can. I think the happiest people in the world are those who have the desire to learn more. So many people seem bored and unhappy with their lives. They have a 9 to 5 job and live comfortably but they fall into a rut. They don’t try to expand their interests or increase their talents. I think that’s sad. I think the secret to happiness is to be as active as you can. You’ll never be bored or have time to be lonely. Get the most you can out of life and I’m not speaking necessarily of material things. Make your life of the highest quality. When you work-work hard. When you play a gameplay to win. And when it’s time to relax-really enjoy yourself. Our lives are as good as we make them, it’s up to us. Aim for the brightest stardon’t be afraid to fall. It won’t be the first time anyone has fallen; you always can pick yourself back up again. A successful and happy life doesn’t promise to be easybut if you are willing to learn and help others learn and get involved in life you’ll forget about your stumbles and remember your horizons. I’d like to close on this note. It is a definition of success by Ralph Waldo Emerson, I clipped it out of a newspaper several months ago and I'd like to share it with you this evening. “To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critcis 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 to have succeeded.” By TONY ARMENTROUT On behalf of the 1980 graduating class it is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the commencement exercises. We would all like to thank everyone for attending the services and especially thank those who have come long distances to be with a friend or member of their family on this special occasion. I know there are at least 60 seniors who are glad to be here and we hope that you are to. Mr. Campbell, our former 6th grade teacher, came back to speak to us at our bacculareate service Sunday and brought back many memories for all of us. It seems as only yesterday that we first started school, Tonight will be the end of school for many of us, excluding the 20 or so who are going to college and the few who are going into the Armed Forces, our formal education will have ended as of today. It is like a part of us will be missing. Probably 10 or 15 years from now, we will look back on school as the good old days when life was easy, although we don't think so now. Then we will wish we were back again. There are many people in our lives up to this point who deserve a thank you but the ones we usually overlook are out teachers. We appreciate the help they have given us over the past years but they have put up with our back talk and paper fights long enough, not to mention have to decipher our homework. I am sure we will miss them all. One teacher everyone will miss next year is Mrs. Moffett. As most of you know she is retiring this year. The Senior class and entire student body would like to thank her for her 24 years at the high school. She has always been willing to help anyone who comes in the library looking for either a book or magazine. She would often look for an hour or more for research material for a student. This is the kind of dedication to one’s work you seldom find in many people. Not every teacher gels 4 standing ovations from the entire student body such as Mrs. Moffett did at our last assembly. We want to thank you Mrs. Moffett not only for being a great teacher but for being a wonderful person. The Senior class would also like to thank those teachers who chaperoned us on our trip to New York City this spring. They were Mr. and Mrs. Mills, Miss Jordan, Miss Stewart and Mr. Logan. You can imagine the responsibility of taking 38 people to a strange city and then having to keep your eyes on them. We are really grateful to you all for taking that responsibility. All of us had a pretty good time. We toured the city. went to the Statue of Liberty and went through the United Nations Building. The highlight of the trip for many of us was seeing the Broadway Play, Oklahoma. New York was a nice place to visit but I think everyone was ready to come home when we did. We were glad to get to Rappahannock where we were away from all the traffic, big buildings and pollution. Many people say we don’t have much in this county but after being in a big city like New York, I am : proud to say I live here. HAYSEED ANTIQUES Washington, Va. American Primities I8tk & I9th Cent.

According to Carbaugh, if current conditions continue over the next few months, the state’s farmers may witness a 40 to 50 percent drop in net farm income from last year’s level. He also cautioned that further deterioration of the farm economy will hasten the recessionary conditions throughout Virginia’s total economy. “Our farmers are really witnessing a severe and unexpected co^t-price squeeze situation because the costs of production of many —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinaoa STATELY SHADE TREES that grace the court house lawn bowed before the high winds in Sunday’s storm.

REALTOR Realistic Retirement Planning There are two approaches to retirement planning for the homeowner. One is to sock money away in the bank and have a goodsized nest egg with which to buy a retirement home when the time comes. The other approach is to buy that retirement home now and have it well paid off when retirement arrives. economically and emotionally, the best answer is to buy that home now. Not only will you have a good cash investment in it when you retire, but the value of that - home should keep increasing with the inflation rate. Better still, invest in a second rental home. Let your renter help pay for your v retirement. Interviews with retirees reveal that one of the last things they desire to do upon retirement is withdraw a sizeable amount of cash from savings. The bank account is a must at a time when expenses climb and income remains flat. Do you think real estate will ever cost less than it does now? The time to start retirement planning is today!

We're her^cMhelp^^^^^^^^ commodities exceed prices received by farmers for their commodities,” Carbaugh stated. “This current economic plight is better understood when one views the sharp drop in prices of some agricultural commodities compared to a year ago. Hog prices are down 34 percent; beef cattle prices are 24 percent lower; broiler prices have dropped 21 percent; and soybeans are down about 17 percent.” Carbaugh pointed out that, in sharp contrast to the lower farm prices, the costs of all farm production items are up considerably. Fertilizer is up 28 percent from a year ago. Agricultural chemicals have increased by 21 percent. Fuel and energy, with a 50 percent increase, is taking a big bite out of the farmer’s pocketbook. Interest costs are up 25 percent. According to Carbaugh, the current parity ratio for Virginia farmers is the lowest Phone Rates Increased Even though the local telephone company is Central Telephone, a non-Bell company, interstate long distance telephone rates went up June 6 due to the Federal Communications Commission’s approval of a 5.1 percent rate increase requested by American Telephone and Telegraph, parent company of the Bell System. “The effect of the rate increase on individual customer bills will depend on the frequency and type of long distance telephone calls that are placed each month,” said E. Henry Harper, customer services manager. He added that local and intrastate rates are not affected by the AT&T increase. The long distance rate increase is AT&T’s first in more than four years. AT&T’s increase will generate $568 million in new annual revenues for the entire telephone industry, which is composed of more than 1500 companies. Of the increase, $499 million will go to the Bell System. The difference reflects the payments that Bell makes to independent telephone companies, such as Centel, that are connected to the nation’s long distance network. since the days of the Great Depression. “No business group can stand long against sharply lower commodity prices and sharply higher production costs.” He added that, “Many farmers are demonstrating that they intend to tighten their belts and weather the current economic situation.” How successful they will be will depend on the assistance they receive in dealing with this economic crunch. “Every effort must be taken to reduce overall inflation in the economy and to increase the demand, both domestic and foreign, for agricultural commodities,” he maintained. Commissioner Carbaugh reported that his agency recently conducted a survey of Virginia farmers to determine the full impact of the grain embargo and high capital costs on Virginia. The results of this survey will be released in the coming weeks. Due to the increasing economic concerns facing Virginia’s farmers, the Governor’s Agricultural Credit Executive Committee has called for a series of public hearings to evaluate the situation as well as to inform all farmers of credit and other economic help that is currently available.

She is a native of Flint Hill. Miss Joan Lee Spence, also a Flint Hill native, was named teacher of the year at Elkton High School where she taught government and geography. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Lee. and at that time she and her husband Gerais resided in Bridgewater. Fanning Baumgardner resigned as assistant county zoning administrator. Ian Pyrde of Blue Rock Farm, Washington, sustained injuries in a tractor accident and was hospitalized in Culpeper and Charlottesville. Charles Moore was assigned to Rappahannock this week as a trooper with the Virginia Department of State Police. 10 YEARS AGO Rappahannock 4-H’ers took a trip to Annapolis, Md. where they toured the U.S. Naval Academy. 112 youngsters went. Louise Fletcher and Edward Taylor II were married June 13 in Trinity Episcopal Church, Washington, Va. Mrs. George Davis was guest speaker at Rappahannock Library where she spoke and showed slides of her travels in Peru. 15YEARS AGO Rappahannock board of Supervisors authorized Common wealth’s Attorney George H. Davis, Jr. to institute two boundary line suits in circuit court, one with Madison and the other with Culpeper County. A total of 11 square miles of land was in question. Robert Leonard, Jr. of Front Royal, was named Director of Instruction for the Rappahannock County School System. He had taught in Rappahannock in 1954. Gallaudet College conferred an honorary degree of Doctor of Law on George E. Muth during its commencement. Gallaudet is a college for the deaf and Mr. Muth has played an important part in the school’s progress. 30 YEARS AGO Rappahannock was certified a disaster area by the Agriculture Department for the purpose of securing government loans for distressed fruit growers.

Census Begins Local Review A major new effort by the Jureau of the Census and top >fficials of the Nation’s local :ommunities is underway to lelp assure the most accurate md complete count possible n the 1980 Census of Population and Housing. The innovative local program will enable local Dfficials to check the accuracy and completeness of housing and population counts provided to them by the Census Bureau. Local governments then will have the opportunity to point our possible problems for review and correction, as needed, before the 409 temporary census district offices close. In late April and early May detailed instruction booklets and packages of census maps were sent to the highest elected official of each of the nation's 39,500 cities, counties, and townships. The officials will use these materials as a basis for summarizing their own population and housing unit estimates so that they can be compared with the Census Bureau’s counts. Most local governments will receive these counts this month. Among the types of evidence local officials are expected to use to support their estimates are: —Residential Building and demolition permits, — Residential Utility (electricity, telephone, water) connections, —Aerial photos, field surveys, and land-use maps, and —Tax assessor records. The local governments will have an average of four weeks to get ready for the view and two weeks to comment on the Bureau’s counts. The temporary census offices will remain open up to six weeks in order to complete the checking of these local comments. Local officials are vitally concerned with the accuracy of the census of their communities for several reasons: — Congressional apportionment is based on the census under the Constitution (Article 1, Section 2). In the last several decades, courts have ruled that election districts for State and local representation must be based on the one-person, one-vote principle. Census statistics provide the basis for redrawing these State and local electoral district boundaries. —The importance of census results to State and local government budgets has grown in recent years. Over 100 Federal government aid programs—including the general revenue sharing program—use (in whole on in part) census statistics as the basis for distribution of approximately $50 billion a year.

SMIBI ip^WjiaMPWiK '« Our Rappahannock Heritage Costa Rican Lion Visits Rappahannock —Rappahannock New* photo/Cindy Camin* By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When Tony Perez leaves Rappahannock County next week, it will be with a better understanding of rural America, an understanding that can only benefit the United States. Perez, with his wife Maritza, is visiting Capt. and Mrs. Howard Holschuh of Rock Mills as part of a tour af the U.S. that will take him to the International Lions Gub Convention in Chicago next month. Here, he’s a visiting Lions Club member, one of thousands of early summer tourists. But back at home in Costa Rica, he’s our man in San Jose. Perez is employed by the U.S. Embassy’s International Communication’s Agency as a public relation’s, officer. It’f his job to explain^ this country’s position on critical issues—for instance Iran, Afghanastan and the Olympic boycott—to Costa Ricans. 1 his kind ot trip is good for me because I get to take a look at the product I have to sell—the U.S.,” Perez explained. As public relations media coordinator, he relays America’s position to the media representatives who in turn, disperse information to the public through television, radio and newspapers. "I read all the information, digest it and then explain," he said. In addition. Perez also helps organize visits by artists and lecturers in an effort to further improve relations between the U.S. and Costa Rica. As in all his work, he’s competing against his counterpart from the other side, the public relations officer at the Soviet Embassy. At least for now, Perez and his friends appear to be winning the propaganda war. "Costa Rica is one of the countries that pushes hardest for human rights. We’re not like Nicauragua where you can’t even talk about human rights.” he said. “Costa Rica is probably the most stable democracy in all of Latin America,” added Capt. Holschuh. Old Friends Holschuh met his Costa Rican friend during a trip to that country two years ago. As a representative of the Rappahannock Lions Club, he attended a meeting of the local Costa Rican club during his stay and exchanged club banners. “Tony was there and he was able to translate everything I had to say perfectly,” Holschuh recalled. The two men corresponded * after the Holschuhs left for home and when the opportunity came to visit the U.S. this year, Perez wrote to tell his friend. Holschuh immediately called Costa Rica to issue an invitation for a tour of Rappahannock. "The other part of the story of my trip is friendship,” Perez said. For the business half, Perez, who is public affairs advisor to the Costa Rican Lions Club Governor, will try to sell Latin American Lions at the International Convention in Chicago on the idea of attending a Latin American Lions forum next January in his country. He also has tentative plans to visit Oregon, Costa Rica’s U.S. counterpart in the Partners of the Americas program. Perez, who works with the news media in his country on a daily basis, was highly complementary of the Rappahannock News judging by issues from the past two weeks. I want to praise your newspaper,” he announced. "If my President was here, he would give you a prize,” Perez maintained, adding that Costa Rica’s head of state is fighting in his country for the kind of news coverage provided by Rappahannock’s paper. He was as complimentary of the county as he was of its paper. "This is a beautiful place...Everyone knows everyone else and they all work together,” he said, pointing to the reaction of folks to Sunday’s storm as evidence. Perez was in Washington on Monday morning and was impressed with the cooperation in clearing trees from roads, homes, public buildings and yards. “Everyone helped. It was a wonderful experience." Costa Ricans likewise pull together, if ..the success of Lions Cliib^ there is any indication. According to Perez, Lions in his country raised the equivalent of $2 million for charity projects —a lot of money for a little country with a population of just 2.200,000. The funds will be used to finance many of the same projects that Lions here undertake. "We follow the same pattern that Lions International gives you.” Perez said. “We’re not getting into eye bank projects," he noted, adding that Costa Rican Lions were also working with institutions in Miami, Florida, on a cornea transplant program. Before the Lions Convention begins in Chicago on July 3, Tony and Maritza Perez will continue their journey across America, travelling by Greyhound bus. "It gives us a better view and we can stop wherever and want," he explained. With the better view, they hope to get a better idea of what this country is all about and pave the way to better understanding with our Latin American friends. Watch The Sun When it comes to tanning and sunburning, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Just rubbing mineral or baby oil on your skin is no protection against burning, warns Glen H. Hetzel, Extension safety specialist at Virginia Tech. Lubricants like cream or cocoa butter without sunscreens just keep the skin from drying as you bake it. And if a persons is prone to burn instead of bake, it could cause pain. If burning occurs, there is no chance for the pigment melanin (which actually produces the tan) to surface and the skin begins to thicken. That’s why tanning —Rappahannock Nwn Photo/Dapim* HmeUMoa VISITING COSTA RICAN Lion Club member Tony Perez and his wife Maritza with their Rappahannock friend, Howard Holschuh. A should be gradual—you're actually building skin thickness. Fair-skinned individuals should begin with IS minutes of exposure and over three more days, work up to 30 minutes. Those of medium skin may start with 20 minutes, increasing five minutes each day to a 35minute exposure over a fourday period. Other time exposures are less conservative but 30-40 minutes is usually the limit for the first day. “Examine the label of your oil, lotion, cream, or gel,” Hetzel recommended. “Effective sunscreens contain an ingredient called paraamino-benzoic acid (PABA). They permit tanning while offering minimum protection against burning." Sun blocks minimize tanning while increasing the protection to burning. Physical barriers provide maximum burn protection. i Sometimes sun care products contain a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) rating. The numbers range from two to 15 with the higher number providing more skin protection. Fair or sensitive skin which burns some but tans gradually needs a SPF rating of at least six or seven for extra protection. Other artificial tanning preparations are “bronzers.” They are water-soluble stains. Like the products containing DHA, there is no sun protection unless a sunscreen is one of the ingredients. Chitterling Dinner A chitterling and chicken dinner will be served at the home of Mrs. Catherine Carter in Washington on Saturday, June 21. Dinners will be $4 in and S4.50 out. Arrangements can be made by calling 675-3719 after 5 p.m. Monday - Friday or any time Saturday. Proceeds will benefit the Rappahannock NAACP branch Rally. Letters Impartial Reporting To the editor: The citizens of the Aaron Mountain community would like to express our deep appreciation for the very capable, thorough and fair reporting by Mrs. Daphne Hutchinson on a current issue of great importance to us and other citizens of Rappahannock County. We feel the Rappahannock News does an excellent job of reporting impartially on issues which are of importance now and for the future. Keeping Rappahannock County tranquil and beautiful should be a shared responsibility of all concerned citizens. DORIS B. DONALD Welcomed Back To the editor: The citizens of Rappahannock County have rejected, by an overwhelming majority, the divisive tactics by which certain members of the School Board have frustrated their desires to support their school system. It seems to me that the students, teachers and school administration have been welcomed, by the success of the referendum, back into the county. I hope they will feel so welcomed. Now what about those members of the school board who have so misinterpreted their functions? It appears to me that their options are clear. They can: 1. Resign, out of common decency, and let the schools get on with their business; or 2. Refuse to resign, and (a) continue their divisive tactics, to the detriment of the whole community until their terms run out, or other legal measures are found to terminate their tenure, or (b) continue their term in office, but honestly study the ways available to them to help the citizens of the county achieve and maintain a school system which is as effective as possible. I hope each member of the School Board will consider seriously his relationship to the future of Rappahannock's Schools. A.

Knappernberger, Jr., Director of the Science Museum of Virginia. This event marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere. Solstice is derived from the Latin words “sol” meaning sun, and "status” meaning to come to a stop. “After the sun moves above the Tropic of Cancer, it ceases its north ward movement and will begin to move slowly southward again,” Dr. Knappenberger explained. June 21 is the day of the year with the longest period of sunlight. The sun will rise and set further north than at any other time of the year. Since the sun remains above our horizon longer, temperatures rise in the northern hemisphere. At midday on June 21, the sun will be at its highest point in Virginia skies, approximately 76 degrees above the southern horizon. In the land above the Arctic circle, the sun will not set on this day, but will remain above the horizon producing the phenomena of the "midnight sun.” Tina Garner, sister of the bridegroom, and Patricia Bonner.

More than 40 contestants left the- starting line at Morven Park but only 30, led by Alexander and Startez Too, made it to the finish on the banks of the Sheandoah River. Alexander, a seasoned competitior in endurance rides, raised Startez from a colt, breaking and training him herself. “Saturday was his first ride, competitive or endurance,” she reported. According to Alexander, she s been aiming the sixyear-old, three-quarter Arabian gelding toward the Old Dominion ride ever since her mare and regular mount D'Arcy pulled up lame in last year’s contest. “We’ve probably averaged 10 hours and 85 miles per week— about one and a half hours per day with a long ride on the weekends,” Alexander said. Startez’s training didn't include any elaborate diet to help bring him to top condition. Compared to highly bred thoroughbreds who gulp gallons of feed a day, Alexander’s gelding gets by on peanuts. “His feeding schedule is laughable. He gets maybe a half quart of grain a day and pasture but he’s bred for it. He’s tough, an easy keeper,” she said. With the horse, rider and pit crew all hailing from Rappahannock, Alexander’s contingent was truly a county representation. Her on-theground help included her husband John, Candy and Allan Coombs and their children and Mitch and Sue Karp, all from Flint Hill, and Natalie Emery from Woodville. “It was a real group effort,” Alexander said. She wasn’t pushed into the new record for Old Dominion’s 50 mile ride. “I finished alone. I didn’t have to race anyone in,” Alexander reported. Although pleased with her horse’s performance in the ride, Alexander seemed more impressed with her cocompetitors who ran Old Dominion’s 100 mile course on foot. “They were amazing!” she said of the 20 runners who finished the tough, mountainous route. According to Alexander, the first place winner ran the 100 miles in a little over 15 hours while the first horse to complete the 100 miles did it in 10 hours. She noted, however, that the horse’s record included four hours of mandatory rest stops in addmop to the 10 hours of riding time. Oddly enough, the human runners weren’t required to take the same rest stops. “Maybe that’s because the runners were doing it of their free will while the horses didn’t have any choice,’’ Alexander chuckled. As first prize, Alexander won a bronze belt buckle with a first-to-finish silver button. With Startez winning his first outing, she plans to continue the grey gelding in endurance contests. Their next competition is planned for another 50 mile ride in Pennsylvania in the fall.—D.H. If the 1980s prove to be a normal decade for tornadoes in the United States, at least 7,000 of the violent windstorms will strike the nation, causing as many as 1,000 deaths.

Take Precautions When Grilling “Accidents don’t take vacations, people do,” said Glen H. Hetzel, Extension specialist in safety at Virginia Tech. “High gas prices will encourage more people to spend vacations in the back yard this spring and summer,” said Hetzel, ‘so the number of accidents around the home are likely to rise in the next few months.” The National Safety Council reports that home accident deaths totaled approximately 24,000 in 1978. Disabling injuries numbered over three and onehalf million. The costs of these injuries were $7.1 billion. (Costs include wage losses, medical expenses, fire losses, and claims settlements.) Outdoor barbecuing is a popular way to spend free time during the summer, but many people are burned needlessly or injuried from smoke inhalation when using outdoor grills. Hetzel believes most of these accidents occur because safety measures were not followed while lighting the coals. He advised outdoor chefs to take the following precautions: + If you are using an electric lighter, be sure to remove it from the coals after about eight minutes. Otherwise, the charcoal could reach a temperature hot enough to melt the steel sheath of the lighter and cause an explosion. . +A cylinder fire starter should not be removed from the grill without the use of a heavily padded mitt. It becomes very hot in just a few minutes. + If you are starting a fire with lighter fluid, iriake a pyramid of charcoal and saturate it with fluid. Let it stand for a few minutes, then ease a lighted match into one side of the pyramid. -fNever squirt lighter fluid on coals that are hot. The flames can ignite the vapors and cause an explosion by traveling along the stream of fluid and into the can. +Saturate two or three new briquettes and add to 'the pyramid with tongs if the Tire does not start. +Remove hood on covered grill until fire is lighted and flames subside. Fumes in a confined area may flash back when fire is ignited. -(-Consider buying lighter fluid that has the flame trap cap. It helps reduce the hazard of a flash-back igniting contents of the can. -(-Store lighter fluid away from the house and out of reach of small children. -I-Charcoal grills should be used only in ventilated areas. Dangerous carbon monoxide gas buildup can occur if a grill is used in closed off porches, campers or tents. -(-Never use gasoline to start a fire. + Kemember tnat instant lighter charcoal has been saturated with lighter fluid and is very flammable. If it is necessary to use additional fluid, take special precautions. +Always have a proper method of putting out a fire if it should get out of control. It is a good idea to have a fire extinguisher or water handy. +Hoods or covers for grills should be scrubbed and cleaned to prvent a buildup of grease which could catch fire. +Keep small children and dogs away from free standing grills to reduce chances of the grill being tipped over. +Extinguish the fire when finished cooking. The best procedure is to cover the grill and close all vents or drop the charcoal briquettes into a bucket of water. Never pour water onto burning charcoal as steam will be released instantly. _ —Photo by Bob Bunnell/for the Rappahannock Newt KArrAHANNOCK COUNTY sent nine delegates to the Virginia Republican convention in the Richmond Coliseum recently.

Wakefield School Holds Closing Exercises Wakefield Country Day School held closing exercises Saturday evening, June 14, for the Primary and Grammar schools. The program began with a procession of students and faculty, followed by the invocation by the Rev. Thomas Gibbs and remarks by Administrator William E. Lynn Jr. After a performance of the Wakefield Chorus and solo by Nicholas Bischoff, academic awards were presented honor students. The most coveted award of the year, the William E. Lynn Award for Academic Excellence, went to Lauren Wemmer of Front Royal. Billy Germelman of Berryville won the Citizenship Award and Ann Connors of Warrenton received the Leadership Award. Voted “All-Around Girl” by the faculty and given an award was Amy Harris, also of Berryville. Ryan Barnes of Washington, accepted the award for "All-Around Boy.” Many other students achieved distinction in academic areas.

( Succession cropping is growing crops in a sequence to extend harvesting throughout the growing season. It requires planning, said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home hor-* ticulture Diane Relf. There are three major techniques used by home gardeners. One is double crop ping—or the growing of two or more crops in the same space one after another. For example, after an early crop of lettuce is harvested, a later maturing crop, like beets, can be planted in its place. Lettuce, peas, radishes, beets, beans, green onions, cabbage, carrots, kohlrabi, spinach, turnips and Chinese cabbage mature early enough so that after they are harvested the same space can be used. “Preferably, have the second crop unrelated to the first to discourage the spread of garden pests,” said Ms. Relf, a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Another succession cropping technique is to make several plantings of the same vegetable to spread out the harvesting period- .Make the plantings, weekly intervals, she suggested. Or, plant different varieties of the same vegetable which have different lengths of time to maturity. For example, select sweet corn varieties that mature at 75 days, 85 days and 90 days.

R APPALACHIAN HOMES Washington, Va. 675-3777 or 937-4388 If no answer: 347-1920 or 825-1847 Vote On Com Commission Certification forms are now being distributed to Virginia corn producers for a fall referendum to determine if a Corn Commission will be created in the state. Under the proposed plan approved by the General Assembly and the Governor early this year, the corn growers would assess themselves one-quarter cent per bushel on all com sold, except sugar com, popcorn and ornamental com. They money would be used for market development, education, publicity, research and promotion: Time other commodity groups have similar commissions already established in the state. A Virginia Cora Growers Association was formed in 1976 and this group asked the General Assembly for legislation to conduct the referendum. Cora is one of Virginia’s leading crops and in 1979 yielded a record production estimated at 51 million bushels. All corn producers, regardless of age, who sold com during two of the past three years preceeding September 5, 1980 are eligible. These producers must establish their eligibility to vote by properly completing and returning the certification form to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) no later than July 24, 1980. Eligible voters will then be mailed a ballot and a selfaddressed stamped envelope. Each eligible voter must return the ballot by mail and postmarked no later than September 3, 1980. Each completed ballot must be received by VDACS no later than September 5, 1980. Producers who have not received eligibility certification forms may obtain them from: County Extension Agents; Virginia Corn Growers Association, P. O. Box 912, Blacksburg, Virginia 24060; the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, 203 North Governor Street, Richmond. Virginia 23219 and the VDACS office in Warsaw, Virginia 22572. BZA Legalizes Still (Continued from Page 1) still will be situated a quarter mile from the nearest neighbor and, under terms of the federal permit, will be secured under lock and key. Davies noted that his federal permit is numbered 46. “So I assume there’ve been 45 permits in Virginia before mine." he added. BZA chairman Josef Gardiner remarked that 23 licenses for fuel producing stills were issued in North Carolina alone last week. Asked about objections from neighbors. Davies said he'd informed the downstream property owner of his plans and met with no complaints. He added that he wouldn’t be dumping waste products from the still into the streams. “The residue from the mash will be fed to cattle,” Davies said, citing a report that found cattle fattened more quickly when fed distillers grains. He also quoted remarks from Earl Smith, head of Virginia's task force on alcohol tuels, who maintained at a recent seminar on alcohol production that the profit margin in operating a still may depend on the use of the by-products. “If some way can be found to cut the time and cost of producing alcohol fuel, it could be a real help to farmers,” Davies maintained. He assured the BZA that he has no plans to go into commercial alcohol production, even if his experiments prove successful. “It would take too big a commitment in time and money...I'm retired. I don't think I want to get into that (Continued from Page 1) Lynn maintained that the NPEA also has rights: “They own the property, they applied for a variance, it was granted and it must be presumed valid.” The previous Friday, the opposing landowners had the right to present their interests, Lynn continued, noting they failed to show Va. A Leader In Winterizing The Virginia Winterization Program ranks seventh in the nation for its productivity while ranking 18th in funding: Figures released by the U.S. Department of Energy show that Virginia received $3.4 million during 1979, or 1.74 percent of the national winterization budget of $197 million. Allocations to each state are based on a complicated formula that takes into account climate and percentage of poverty-level households. Since 1978 when DOE began funding the program, 10,497 homes have been winterized in Virginia, representing 3.46 percent of the 302,9% homes winterized nationwide. A total of 16,110 homes have been winterized Culpeper Art Co. 204 N. Main St. Culpeper, Va. Quality Antiques Custom Framing since 1976 when the Virginia Association of Community Action Agencies initiated the program. A properly winterized home is one in which air infiltration has been stopped, storm windows installed, attic insulation blow in and roofs adequately vented. The average cost of materials used in winterizing a home in Virginia is currently $432. Eric Paulson is coordinator of the winterization program operated by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Area Agency on Aging which is located at 401 S. Main St. in Culpeper (825-6494). The agency serves Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties. It has winterized 51 homes this year at an average cost of $452.

By unanimous vote, the BZA granted Potomac Edison a variance to store equipment and materials for rebuilding the electric line from Page County to Sperryville. Spokesman for the company assured the BZA that no building will be constructed, that materials only—heavy hardware, poles, insulators—will be assembled at the storage site. In a second unanimous vote, the BZA issued a special use permit to Rappahannock Electric Cooperative to put in an underground tie line near Rock Mills. According to REC representative William Carson, the 1,700 volt underground tie line will eliminate the need for four to five miles of above ground line, thereby improving service reliability and conserving energy. ‘‘In other words, you’ll shorten the line by going underground,” Gardiner said. "The main thrust is to improve reliability,” Carson replied, noting that with the shortened, underground line, there would be less chance of storm damage interrupting electrical service. Most of the underground line will be laid along existing utility company right-of-way, Carson said. The line will be buried at a depth of three feet—lower than the average fence post or shrubbery hole—with a yellow marker ribbon placed about a foot above the line itself, according to the REC representative. _ — Rappahannock Newt Photo/John Totec aAVED. Volunteer firemen race to save the William H. Lyne home on Rt. 622 in Gid Brown Hollow from a fire that broke out Friday the 13th while an electrician was working in the attic. A light bulb on a drop cord fell and exploded, igniting insulation. Fire damage was contained to the attic area, but the second story was damaged by water and smoke. There were no injuries. Judge Halts Canrf> Meeting irreparable damage would occur if the camp meeting went on as scheduled. Even if there is constitutional right to due process involved in the case, that right was satisfied by the June 13 hearing, Lynn argued. Konick countered that the right to a review of the BZA's decision, “a right of action,” was a vested right and should be considered as property even though it is intangible. Considered in this light, he maintained, the right is protected against deprivation without due process of law. The opposing landowners, he said “have done everything procedurally that can be done but they have not had their day in court on the merits.” Konick agreed with Lynn that Judge Robertson was faced with balancing competing interests but maintained that the landowner’s interests were stronger since NPEA had no vested right to the privileges conferred by the temporary variance and could, in fact, reschedule the camp meeting. If issuing a restraining order on the camp meeting until after a hearing can be held on the merits of the temporary variance will cause a hardship for the NPEA, the hardship is self-inflicted, Konick stated. He emphasized again that notice of the camp meeting had been sent out by NPEA in January, February and March while the variance required before the camp meeting could legally be held wasn’t applied for until April 8. In conclusion, Konick said that the irreparable harm his clients will suffer is not from the noise, sewage or traffic. ‘‘The harm is intangible. This irreparable harm is that they’re not going to get a hearing on the evidence.” Robertson, who had recessed court for an hour to study legal precedents, memorandum and authorities cited by sides, complimented the two attorneys on the “precision and competence” with which they’d advanced their positions. Basing his decision on the constitutional right of review, Robertson granted the restraining order, preventing the NPEA from holding its camp meeting until after a full-blown hearing on the merits of the temporary variance issued by the BZA. A determination on the amount of bond to be posted by the opposing landowners was postponed until after the NPEA’s appeal of the restraining order to the State Supreme Court at noon on Wednesday. Foxhound Is Virginia's Dog I he scissor-tailed flycatcher holds the title in Oklahoma. In Vermont it’s the hermit thrush. All 50 states, in fact, have chosen official state birds and many have also named official mammals, trees, and flowers. Eighteen states have gone so far as to designate official state insects. The complete lists can be found in a new publication available frree from the National Wildlife Federation—“Official Birds, Mammals, Trees, Flowers, Insects, and Fish of the U.S., Territories, and Possessions." The NWF pamphlet reveals that the most honored bird in the U.S. is the cardinal, which is the official bird in seven states (Illinois, Indiana.' Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia), perhaps in gratitude^ for the bird’s helpful habit of feeding on the destructive boll weevil and codling moth. Two states chose endangered species for their state bird: Hawaii took the nene (Hawaiian goose), and Louisiana, the brown pelican. The most popular official mammal among the 23 states that have named one is the white-tailed deer, chosen by South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi. Three states appointed endangered mammals as their mascots: Connecticut, the sperm whale; Florida, the manatee; and Hawaii, the humpback whale. Virginia declined to name a state mammal, but chose instead to appoint an official state dog: the foxhound, of course, in honor of the state’s renowned fox hunts. Maryland also named an official state dog—the Chesapeake Bay retriever, while Idaho calls the Offerings By Lyne SPERRYVILLE—New 3 bedroom rancher, near park, 2 baths, trout stream, wraparound deck, $68,000.

Every state has an official tree, and 18 chose a conifer—from the longleaf pine (Alabama) to the Black Hills spruce (South Dakota). Other popular species are the oak. elm, and maple, while Mississippi, naturally, chose the magnolia. Mississippi also named the magnolia its official state flower, as did Louisiana. Five states and the District of Columbia decided that a rose, by any name, is sweet. So, D.C. went with the American Beauty rose; Georgia, the Cherokee rose; Iowa, the wild rose; North Dakota, the wild prairie rose; and New York, which isn't picky, just the rose. Of the 18 states that decided to designate an official insect, nine chose the honeybee, that helpful pollinator. Connecticut honors the praying mantis, the gardener's deligh't, while California went with the yellow and black dogface butterfly. As for official fish, 26 states were lured into naming one. Bass, both large and smallmouth, white, and striped, were chosen by ten states. Nine states named five varieties of trout—golden, rainbow, brook, steelhead, and the black spotted cutthroat, which is endangered in its sponsor state of Montana.
