Faced with mandates handed down in writing by the state director of special education. the Rappahannock school board at its July 8 meeting approved two new teaching positions and an additional aide for special education. Salary for the new personnel to be added to the recently approved 1980-81 budget totals $25,384. Of that amount, $9,240 will be reimbursed by the state, leaving the county with a net cost of $16,144 for these staff additions. To provide space for expanded and revised special education programs, the board agreed to divide and carpet one 760-square-foot classroom at the elementary school, room 16, into two rooms. One will house the learning disabled resource and the other a combination of self-contained emotionally disturbed and learning disabled. Renovation costs will amount to $4,103. The class for educable mentally retarded youngsters ages 10 through 13 held last year in room 16 will be moved to the auditorium stage which they will share with the music teacher and physical education teacher who use the stage for office space since neither has a classroom. Space Study Result The alternatives put before the board by superintendent William Bloomer in an 18page special education plan came as the result of a proposal from Robert Eastham and Allen Stokes to either partition existing special education classrooms or institute half-day kindergarten sessions as a solution to the more pressing space problems at the elementary school. In response to a “space study” conducted by Eastham and Stokes last spring. Bloomer was directed in May to find space for 14 students returning next term from Piedmont regional school by implementing either half-day kindergarten or dividing existing space for handicapped education that the board viewed as underutilized. Eastham. who received his copy of the special education plan at the last board meeting, insisted on Tuesday that Bloomer had been directed “four or five months ago” to find the solution for where to put the 14 children formerly served in Piedmont’s self-contained learning disabled class. “1 insist that the superintendent address that subject and that subject only this evening...We have a simple problem,” he maintained, adding that he wasn’t prepared to discuss the entire special education program. Bloomer replied that he had been directed to come up with a plan for receiving the 14 students from Piedmont at the May 13 board meeting, not four or five months previously. He recalled that he had already presented a report on half-day kindergarten, an option that didn't meet with acceptance from the board. The superintendent described the alternative of dividing classroom space as more involved. “When I discussed it with those who must approve the funding and approve the program, I found it was not a matter of dealing with one isolated pebble on a beach...When you drop a pebble in the water, waves start creating and we've had to deal with one wave after another.” To avoid a possible cut-off in state funds for special education. Bloomer ex plained, he worked with the regional special education supervisor on feasible alternatives, put a proposal together and sent a copy to James Micklem, special education director for the state. Then, after receiving approval from Micklem, he brought the package to the board at its last meeting for action on Tuesday. Under the reorganized program recommended by Bloomer, the majority of the students returning from Piedmont will be served in a self-contained learning disabled class of eight students—the maximum without an aide—at the elementary school with the new teacher previously approved in the 1980-81 budget. Three younger learning disabled students will be combined with four emotionally disturbed students of the same age in a second class under one of the new teachers proposed in the plan. Bloomer noted that the emotionally disturbed youngsters were not identified as such until late in the past year. A second combination class of three primary-aged educable mentally retarded and four trainable mentally retarded children will meet in the elementary school’s other 760-square-foot room. In a (Continued on Page 4) Council To Vote On Town Leash Law By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer With townspeople ‘and visitors becoming increasingly plagued by dogs roaming loose on the streets, the Washington town council agreed at Wednesday’s meeting to proceed on adopting a leash law. Fran Eldred told the council members that she witnessed dogs chasing an elderly couple who were walking through town after dinner at The Inn. “The dogs came right for them. They were quite shaken by the experience." Mrs. Charles Burke recounted a close call she had with dogs who dashed out of an open gate in a yard with “Beware of Dog” signs. "The dogs attacked me." she said. “The only thing that saved me was a truck going by with another dog in the back and they turned aside to follow the truck.” Eldred, who witnessed Mrs. Burke's close encounter, reported that she’d talked with the owner of two dogs involved in an attack and had been told the animals would be kept tied. “They haven't been,” she noted. Eldred asked earlier in the meeting if the council had located the town’s ordinances which have been missing for some time. “Two years ago, I asked to see the ordinances but no one could find a copy. Then a year and a half ago, my husband asked to look at them and stiH no one had a copy.” “If you can’t find the old ones, can’t you make new ones?" Mrs. Burke asked, maintaining that a new leash law should be adopted. “Dogs shouldn’t be allowed to roam around town with old people and children." “There could very easily be a leash law,” replied Mayor Newbill Miller. Jordan Places In State Olympics Gwen Jordan, daughter of Mr. Otis Jordan of Aniissville. turned in a special performance at the Virginia Special Olympics held last month at Virginia Tech, finishing second in both the 200 meter run and the standing long jump. A junior next year at Rappahannock County High School, Gwen represented the county among the 1,500 athlete's from around the state who competed in the Special Olympics. Betsy Coffey, special education teacher last year at the elementary school, accompanied Gwen and seven other participants from Area 17 counties on the overnight trip. The two-day summer games were the highlight of the Special Olympics year and the culmination of hours of hard work on the part of the athletes, coaches, chaperones and other volunteers. The goal of the Special Olympics is to create opportunities for sports training and athletic competition for handicapped children and young adults. Persons interested in helping with the next year’s program for Area 17 may contact Barbara Kunlo, Box 217A, Rixeyville, Va., telephone 937-5255. "But we don't have a town sargeant or town police to enforce it,” interjected councilwoman Dorothy Hawkins. She added, however, that she felt all the recent changes in town make a leash law necessary. "The dog problem is nothing new.” Miller replied. "You and your all-ladies slate ran on a platform of getting the dogs off the street," he recalled in reference to town elections 30 years ago. Mrs. Burke asked where responsibility - lie* for damages should a dog running loose injure someone. "The owner of the dog,” Miller replied. “If the owner of the dog’s not worth anything, you’re not going to get anything" said Mrs. Burke. She emphasized that she had nothing against dogs. "I think people should have dogs but they should keep them from bothering others." The council agreed to check the town’s old ordinances to see if the existing regulations included a leash law. “If we can’t find one, we should pass one,” stated councilman Charlie Jenkins. By consensus, council authorized advertisement for (Continued on Page 8) Athletic Physicals Rappahannock County High School athletic physicals will be held at the high school on Thursday, July 31.

Robb at the Model Executive Conference held recently in Richmond. McKay Participates In Model Conference Rising Rappahannock Senior. Jona McKay was one of % students selected from high schools all across Virginia to participate in the nation’s first annual Model Executive Conference held in Richmond during July 6-10. The conference, initiated by Lieutenenat Governor Charles S. Robb, was designed to give selected high school students an opportunity to simulate the executive branch of government. Managed by the Virginia Y.M.C.A. and aided by the Political Science Department of the University of Richmond, the conference challenged its participants with controversial questions such as these: Are we really preparing our teachers to teach? . . . Should our teachers have more in-service training before they enter the classroom? . . . Should teachers have to take a compentency test every two or 20 years? Students taking part in the program were chosen on the basis of academic excellence and and outstanding leadership qualities. The recently completed conference involved a simulation of the state government examining teacher preparation programs pursuant to HJR 100 passed by the Virginia General Assembly this year; one which directs the State Council of Higher Education and the Board of Education of Virginia to investigate the quality of teacher preparation in the state. While the simulation emphasized the executive centered nature of contemporary state government, it also underscored the relationship of the executive branch with the General Assembly and the public, particularly interest groups and the news media. Each of the students was assigned the role of a relevant political actor, or a news media figure. The students were to play their roles as the political figures were likely to behave considering similar (Continued on Page 8) Sheriffs Cars To Be Maintained At Bus Shop In a majority decision at the July 8 meeting, the Rappahannock school board agreed to a request from the county supervisors to have maintenance work on the sheriffs department cars done by school bus shop personnel. J. R. Latham, vicechairman of the supervisors, made the request in writing, describing the proposed arrangement as the most efficient and economical way to handle maintenance on the three new police cars. “It should be pointed out that the transporation supervisor will allocate times for service so it won’t interfere with bus shop operations," noted Walter Masterson, suggesting that a regular maintenance schedule be set up for work on the patrol cars. "I’m totally opposed in principle and in practice," announced Robert Eastham, suggesting that the supervisors contract with a commercial garage for maintenance. He maintained that the problem of maintenance should hve been broached earlier by sheriff W. A. Buntin. "It was only brought up after the supervisors approved the cars," he maintained. (Before the supervisors voted at their June 5 work session to include three police cars in the 1980-81 budget, county accountant Wally Cox presented an estimate on total cost, including a S3.000 per year projection for maintenance expenses.) Eastham described the maintenance proposal as another example of the school system “being asked to do everything besides education.” Chairman Beverly Massie noted that school bus mechanics handle police car maintenance in adjoining counties. “The adjoining counties don't impress me at all,” Eastham countered. “For one thing, they don't pay their teachers enough." Nancy Reeve said she supported the maintenance agreement as long as accounting for the sheriff’s department and school transportation fleet was kept separately. ’ ^ Superintendent William Bloomer noted that bills for parts will be sent directly to the sherifTs department for payment and. in addition, a pro rata share of labor will be charged. (Continued on Page 4) Ordered To Produce Financial Records In the latest of a series ot court hearings on the disputed variance and building permit issued to the Nationwide Pentacostal Evangelistic Association, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson ordered the association on Friday to produce certain financial records sought by James Grigsby and other landowners with property near the NPEA campground site. In opposing the restraining order against the NPEA’s ten-day annual holiness camp meeting issued earlier by Robertson, attorneys for the association argued that the organization would suffer financial damages if the camp meeting wasn't allowed to go on as scheduled. They noted that the property was —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham MR. AND MRS. J. B. PRIEST wait anxiously as firemen arrive Sunday to quell the blaze which damaged their home at Amissville. Origin of the fire which apparently started in a bedroom was not known. Contents of the room were destroyed and severe damage done to the house. New Housing Units Decline 17 Per Cent According to statistics released by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. the number of new housing units approved in the county in the second quarter of 1980 declined 17 percent compared to the same period of 1979. During the second quarter of 1979, 18 housing units were approved in Rappahannock by local officials. For April through June of 1980, the number dropped to 15. The record in Rappahannock reflects an areawide trend. Total number of housing units authorized during the second quarter in the five-county planning district declined by 21 per cent. Overall, 254 housing units were approved in Madison. Orange. Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock over the second quarter of this year—67 feWer units than the 321 authorized over the same three months in 1979. Madison County reported the greatest decline in housing activity with 67 per cent. Fauquier also experienced a greater decline—43 per cent—than did Rappahannock. Culpeper with 37 per cent and Orange with 23 per cent both showed an -increase in approved new housing units. Culpeper’s increase was largely the result of a townhouse complex authorized in April, according to the planning district statistics. Over the first six months of 1980. 388 housing units were authorized in the five-county district. This represents a 31.9 per cent decline from the S70 units authorized during the first half of 1979. purchased for SI8.000 and had $125,000 worth of improvements. In addition, they maintained that the NPEA anticipated collecting $20,000, based on the money raised at the camp meeting held the previous year. In response, David Konick, attorney for the landowners, sought on June 11 to secure all NPEA financial records, including tax information, applicable since the Castleton property was purchased in 1978 plus all data to support the association's contention that it had spent $125,000 on improvements to the nine acres. Judge Robertson issued a subpeona for the financial records, giving the NPEA until June 24 to produce the information requested. On June 23. attorneys for the association filed objections to producing the financial data, maintaining it was no longer relevant. In seeking a second order compelling release of the records. Konick maintained the documents were relevant to determine credibility of witnesses who testified on the association's behalf and would establish the nature of the property and improvements constructed on the nine acres, relevant material to questions remaining to be resolved in the ongoing dispute. On Friday. Judge Robertson ruled that information relating to the amount of money expected to be raised at the camp meeting was no longer relevant since the restraining order had been issued without requiring a bond from the property owners. In addition, he held that the NPEA need not provide any tax records. With a full-blown hearing on the merits of the variance from the board of zoning appeals for the campground still to be held, Robertson determined that the issues remaining relevant include whether the BZA's order allowing the variance was proper and whether the NPEA is in contempt of the restraining order Robertson issued earlier, enjoining the association from enjoying any rights conferred by the contested variance. To those points. Robertson ordered the NPEA to turn over all books and financial records pertaining to the construction of improvements on the site. In addition. Konick was allowed further time for discovery related to activities going on at the property during the past year. At Konick's suggestion. Judge Robertson agreed to continue the scheduled July 14 contempt hearing on the NPEA’s compliance with his restraining order until after a hearing on the merits of the BZA's variance. Robertson set a pre-trial hearing on the merits for September 11 at which time he will determine whether to take further testimony. Grand Jury Frees Hitt The grand jury failed to return an indictment on Monday against Glenn Hitt of Castletcn for the shooting death of a Fredericksburg man on May 17. Testimony at a preliminary hearing on June 24 from Rappahannock sheriff’s department deputy E. W.

Whorton Ships Heifers To Ohio Gip Whorton has been as busy as the standard camp mother over the past week, preparing six youngsters for a trip to Cleveland, Ohio. But he's not sewing names on tshirts. Instead. he's arranging for Bangs tests, vaccinations and shipping fever tests as he gets his prize heifers set for the long ride to their new home. Whorton. former proprietor of Hampton Inn. is a newcomer to the cattle business but his success at cross-state sales shows that he's picked up the basics fast. The six heifers are the result of an experiment he tried, breeding black Angus cows to a Charolais bull. Whorton received the bull, offspring of an imported French cow, three years ago as a Christmas present from his wife and son-in-law. The son-in-law, a former Prince William dairy farmer who made the switch to Charolais, surprised him with the bull calf upon Whorton’s retirement from the restaurant business. "I wanted something to do besides sit in the rocking chair. Besides, I couldn’t afford to just sit and rock,” Whorton laughed. He decided to experiment with cross-breeding as a way to maximize his profits. Whorton checked out the local livestock auctions and determined that his AngusCharolais would bring a few more cents per pound at market for the 500 to 600 pound calves. “The name of the game is trying to get a few more Revival Revival services will be held at Mt.

He never anticipated attracting a buyer all the way from Ohio but he hadn’t counted on word of mouth spreading between friends. Bob Schaefer, owner of Greenfield farm at Washington where Whorton pastures his stock, was impressed enough by the animals to mention them to a friend, a former hog farmer driven into cattle farming when the bottom fell out of the pig market. Weden Spence was also interested in cross-breeding so he drove out from Cleveland in March to see Whorton’s heifers. '‘He just fell in love with them.” Whorton noted with pride. A deal was struck on the spot. Then, last Monday afternoon. Whorton waved The Washington Business Council wishes to Thank everyone who helped with the Washington, Virginia Fourth of July Celebration. It was truly a glorious 4th. goodbye with a check in his hand as the six heifers, four bred back to an Angus bull from Atwood Farm in Front Royal, pulled out for the journey to Ohio pastures.

Not only is there a complete elimination of commuting time and reduction in overhead costs, but there are tax advantages too. The taxpayer can deduct, as an operating expense, the pro-rated share of such items as electricity, heating, house depreciation, telephone, and the cost of repairs which benefit the property as a whole. The computation is usually based on the amount of space used for the business. However, before setting yourself up for a letdown, check the zoning regulations for your area. It may or may not preclude using your home for the type of business you have in mind. Better yet. if you are looking for a new home to fit these needs, check with our office and let us do the leg-work for you. Remember, though, that the 1976 Tax Reform law tightened the requirement in order to take the deduction for the home office. It must be used as a full time office and not a part-time affair.

Officers elected were E. M. Jones, president; Mrs. Mary Botts Quaintance, vice-president; Robert L. Brown, treasurer; Mrs. John S. Browning, secretary and William M. Carrigan, coordinator. Castleton Farms, one of Rappahannock’s most beautiful and distinguished estates, was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Homer E. Henry of Falls Church. The newly located post office at Flint Hill was dedicated at ceremonies opened with a short talk by the postmaster, Mrs. Barbara Gentry. The Rev. James B. Grimmer, pastor of Flint Hill Methodist Church, gave the invocation, followed by a welcome from H. S. Barksdale, president of the fire company. Rappahannock Republicans met at the courthouse to hear Mr. I. R. Dovel of Luray, Republican candidate for the State Senate from the 23rd Senatorial District. Miss Edna Bayne of Wood ville was crowned queen of the Sperryville Firemen’s Carnival. The Rappahannock County Lions Club had the prize winning float featuring the Lions program on sight conservation in Washington and Sperryville carnival parades. Dr. Phillip Ferlazzo of Quantico opened a dental office in the clinic room in the rear of Washington Elementary School. 10 YEARS AGO George rawlings. jr. was the easy victor in Rappahannock's Democratic primary election to select a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Virginia. Rawlings tallied 45 votes to 25 for Du Val and 24 for Colvin. James Leake was installed as president of the Rappahannock Jaycees, receiving the gavel from outgoing president, Netus (Sonny) Brown. Capt. L. B. Stuart was honored on his 70th birthday with a dinner given by Mrs. Stuart in their home in Amiss ville. Cadet Douglas K. Baumgardner of Washington was named to the Dean’s List at Virginia Military Institute with a 3.5 grade point average. Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Cordani of Amiss ville celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary with a party given by their children. The U.S. Office of Education predicted that 140 young men and women from * Rappahannock will attend college in 1970 at a total cost to local families of $360,000. Average outlay for one year at Virginia state colleges was estimated at $1,250 for tuition, fees, room and board with the average cost at private colleges estimated at $2,720 per academic year. 5 YEARS AGO THE STATE POLICE conducted a raid in the Castleton area, confiscating approximately 200 marijuana plants along with numerous other illegal drugs and paraphernalia. Peter Stone was arrested and charged with possession of controlled drugs. Rappahannock’s extension homemakers were busy creating needlepoint squares for a bicentennial tapestry to be displayed in the governor’s mansion in Richmond.

Herbert Foster of Flint Hill was honored on his 70th birthday with a picnic and was presented with a silver pitcher from his friends in Flint Hill. Maintenance Agreement Reached (Continued from Page 1) With Eastham alone in opposition, the maintenance agreement was approved, four to one. Officer* Chosen At the beginning of the meeting, the board chose officers for the new fiscal year. Beverly Massie was reelected chairman and representative to the Piedmont regional board and Walter Masterson vicechairman and representative to Harrisonburg's instructional television station. Meetings will continue to be held the second Tuesday of every month in the elementary school library, commencing at 7:30 p.m. eastern standard time and 8 p.m. daylight savings time. After the organizational votes, the board unanimously agreed to retire into executive session with several parents to discuss “business not pertaining to the public." At the return to open meeting an hour and a half later, Eastham suggested that board sessions be recorded on tape. “I agree,” Nancy Reeve immediately responded. “Do you think we’ve got a consensus?” With no reply from the other board members, the subject was dropped. ,, Following a lengthy discussion of the proposed special education plan (see separate story), Masterson reported that in most schools facing space problems, the principal and assistant principal share an office area with the secretary to free an additional room or two. Noting that this possibility has been discussed with superintendent William Bloomer, Mrs. Massie said that the assistant principal will probably share space, this year with school secretary Mary Edna Schaeffer while the assistant principal’s former office will be used by the child development specialist who conducted classes this past year in the hall. Parent Volunteers Sought Masterson also suggested that the administration work to solicit a greater level of parent participation in school activities, particularly special education programs. The rest of the board agreed and, by consensus, directed Dr. Bloomer to develop a more organized approach to soliciting parent volunteers in the schools. In other action, the board approved expenditure of $850 for a "qualified audit” of school financial records in the current year and $100 for a study on how to implement controls so that next year, an “unqualified audit" can be conducted. They delayed action on a series of recommendations from Eastham relating to ac counting procedures until the August meeting when all board members will have been provided a copy of the proposals for study. In addition, the board unanimously adopted the new calculus text books recommended by math department head Don Bomberger and approved a voluntary student insurance program with premiums of $4.50 to be paid by participating individuals. Following a second executive session which lasted until after midnight, the school board members voted unanimously to hire three new teachers for the high school, leaving the total of vacancies in instructional staff at six, and accepted the resignation of one teacher, providing a suitable replacement is found.—D.H.

Latham CHESTER GAP BOULEVARD takes shape—Rappahannock Highway Department is making great strides in widening the road from Route 522 to Chester Gap. Concrete drainage gutters are being installed on the road which has needed improvement for a long time. Teachers Mandated By State (Continued from Page 1) letter to Bloomer, special education director Micklem noted that the state “does not encourage this type of organization. The diversity among the children is such that effective instruction Aould be difficult, even under the best conditions. However, due to the unique situation you described. approval of the request is granted for the 1980-81 school year.” Aide Required However, state approval of the EMR-TMR combination, even for one year, is contingent upon restricting the class to a maximum of ten students, assigning a fulltime instructional aide. —Rappahannock New* Photo/ Daphne Hutch in soo BIRGITT THORNHILL, Rappahannock’s new VPI home agent, waits for the camp bus to return from Hazel river carrying 4-H’ers who need rides arranged home from Washington. Birgitt Thornhill Is New VPI Home Agent Birgitt Thornhill was introduced to the Rappahannock supervisors last week and formally approved by the board as the VP1 extension office’s new home agent for the county. A 1978 graduate of VPI and SU in Blacksburg. Birgitt came to the United States from Germany with her family when she was just six months old. Raised in Isle of Wight County, she met David Thornhill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Thornhill, of Boston, at VPI. The two were married in January and currently reside in Woodville. As home agent. Birgitt’s job includes working with the extension homemakers’ clubs in Flint Hill. Amissville and Woodville and with 4-H’ers throughout the county. She’s especially interested in expanding the 4-H program here. “1 don't think most of the kids in the county even know 4-H exists," she said. Stepping into her job the week before the 4-H day camp at Hazel River began and with overnight camp at Powell’s Fort just a few weeks away, she's had barely enough time to find her desk, much less start organizational work. Still, Birgitt sparked youngsters in the livestock club she and her husband organized last year with Randall and Tony Updike to enter a float in the Sperryville carnival parade Wednesday night. In addition. the club operated a stand at July 4 festivities in Washington. If all goes well, the kids also hope to enter their float in the Flint Hill carnival parade but Birgitt's concerned that the fragile chicken wire and tissue paper display won’t stand up under the trip. “It’s a long way from Woodville to Flint Hill." she said, doubting that the float could survive the journey. Besides working the existing 4-H clubs and the program to introduce students in third and fourth grade to 4-H during special classes at the elementary school, Birgitt would like to involve more county youngsters in homemakers, livestock, horse and pony, dog care, gardening and other 4-H groups. But to achieve her goal of a vital county 4-H program, she needs youngsters as members and parents as volunteers. Kids interested in joining and parents willing to serve as leaders may contact Rappahannock’s new home agent at the extension office, 6753619. informing parents of the change in organization and closely supervising the class to ensure that students are receiving appropriate services. "1 hope this arrangement will be needed for a limited period.” Micklem concluded. In addition to the aide for the EMR-TMR combination and teacher for the combination LD-ED class at the elementary school. Bloomer proposed a third new position at the high school for a learning disabilities resource teacher. During her recent visit to Rappahannock schools, regional special education supervisor Kathleen Kerry informed the school board that anticipated enrollment for 1980-81 of educable mentally retarded students and learning disabled resource students constituted too much of a class load for asingle teacher to handle. Last year, one teacher, endorsed only in EMR, taught the mentally retarded youngsters in the morning and the learning disabled resource students in the afternoon. Bloomer’s recommendation included a learning disabled teacher for the 15 students already identified in that category. The class will be housed in the divided modular unit with $158 required for additional desks and chairs. Meets Minimum Only In a second letter, Micklem advised the board that funding will be approved for Bloomer's proposed "multi-categorical modified self-contained” special education program for the 1980- 81 year. He noted, however, that the plan for education of handicapped children “should be recognized as meeting minimal requirements.” Micklem stated his concern about the location and space limitations for the instructional program and "strongly urged” that the board "give attention to this matter in planning for space needs during school year 1981- 82.’" In addition, he maintained that teachers assigned to the special education program should be given "continuous supervisory and administrative support during the school year. Where diverse groups of handicapped children are grouped so closely together, experience has shown that the potential for serious management and instructional problems is considerable,” Micklem wrote. Eastham still argued for discussion of where to place the 14 children returning from Piedmont and not "the general subject of special education." “I don’t see how we can handle the kids coming back from Piedmont without affecting all the special education students,” countered new board member Nancy Reeve, adding that class rearrangement seemed logical. Chairman Beverly Massie. reading the policy manual section that charges the superintendent with responsibility for continuous study of the development and needs of the schools, maintained that Bloomer would have been derelict if he hadn’t brought the special education plan to the board. She noted that the board had received the plan at its last meeting and any member with alternatives to suggest should have contacted Dr. Bloomer and shared suggestions with the rest of the board. Newbill Miller suggested placing the 14 children returning from Piedmont first and discussing the entire special education program at a later time. 14 Affect All Programs Rob McDaniel, assistant superintendent and supervisor for special education, explained that the 14 children couldn't be separated from the rest of the special education program. Of the 14. eight are older elementary students who will be placed in a self-contained LD class, the maximum number permitted without an aide. Three of the children from Piedmont have progressed enough to be served on an LD resource basis at the elementary school rather than in a selfcontained class while three are high school aged and will be an LD resource class at RCHS, McDaniel said. If the self-contained LD class and the combination LD-ED group are put into a divided classroom. the children who used that classroom last year must be relocated, he continued. In addition, the increase in LD resource students at the high school plus the increase in EMR students there require an additional teaching position at RCHS. according to the state department, McDaniel noted. Also. the assistant superintendent reported, all of the special education classes, with the exception of the older group of mentally retarded children at the elementary school, are either at the maximum size allowed by the state or close to it. Even with the division of one classroom. McDaniel said, the LD resource class must continue to be held in the “totally unsatisfactory” space formerly used as a dentist office while the administration is “reluctantly (Continued on Page 8) Letter To Editor Thanks To the editor: On behalf of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department, I would like to thank all those who helped to make our July 4 fair a success.

ALLAN A. RYAN JR. President, WVFD Grand Jury Frees Hitt (Continued from Page 1) Franklin Hitt died later the same evening in Culpeper Memorial Hospital where he was taken by the local rescue squad. The grand jury met for three and a half hours, on Monday apparently spending most of the time on the Hitt case, judging from the witnesses called. Deputy Thompson was questioned on three separate occasions while commonwealth’s attorney Douglas K. Baumgardner was asked for legal advice at one point. Following the foreman’s announcement that the grand jury had tailed to find a true bill against Glenn Hitt, the widow, of the deceased. Frances A. Hitt, broke into sobs. As she got up to leave the courtroom, she collapsed in a faint, her fall broken by the quick action of Rappahannock sheriff W. A. Buntin who also revived her with the application of paper towels wet from the downstairs drinking fountain. She was helped from the courtroom, still distraught, supported by friends. In the second case under consideration, the grand jury returned a true bill for arson against James Franklin Williams of Amissville. Circuit Court Hugh P. Grigsby, who pled guilty to felonious assault, was sentenced by circuit court judge Shore Robertson on Monday to 12 months in jail. Robertson suspended all ^ but 75 days with the time to be served on work release. Grigsby was also ordered to pay a $200 fine and $74.50 in court costs and placed on supervised probation for three years. In other cases, Robertson set trial dates of September 11 for John Marshall Barbour on charges of driving under the influence, Timothy Wayne Burke on a misdemeanor appeal of reckless driving, September 29 for Lonnie Gene Clatterbuck on appeal of convictions for driving under the influence, failure to stop for a police officer and driving on an expired license and Harry Michael Lyle for a misdemeanor appeal on speeding charges. Hearing date for a right-ofway issue between Lucy Catheryn Triplett and Walter B. Schilling was set for October 23. Charges of no county tag and no Virginia registration against William Edward Duncan were nolle prosequi by the commonwealth’s attorney.

LEE NETTLES Nettles Is New Clinic Director Lee Nettles, direct >r of the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic, formally took over his new position qt Monday. A native of Sussex County, Nettles comes tc Rappahannock after three years at the Orange Count) clinic, first as substance abuse counselor and later as acting director. His background has prepared him for the unique problems that arise in running a mental health program in a rural area. Nettles was born and raised in Wakefield, a small town with a population of around 1,000. He left rural Virginia for the big city to attend Virginia Commonwealth University, both as undergraduate and graduate, but returned to the country after completing his education. While a graduate student, Nettles worked as facilitator for therapy groups run by the Division of Alcoholism Service and as a patient counselor in the Medical College of Virginia’s cancer rehabilitation project. With his primary interesl in program and communit) development. Nettles plans tc continues the consultatior and education group session! ranging from weight contro to kicking the cigarette habit to parenting that wen initiated by Rappahannock*! first clinic director, lin McGarvey. v "I’ll wear two hats—one a administrator-manager am the other as clinician,’ Nettles said. “I wouldn’t hav< taken the job here if it was only administration. I need people contact, people work. That’s the attractive thing about Rappahannock. The Officers Installed Bob Ingle was sworn in as 23rd president of the Rappahannock Lions Club in special ceremonies June 25 during the club’s regular meeting. Formal induction was conducted by Roy Wilson, former governor of Lions district 24A, comprising 75 Lions clubs in Northern Virginia. Four years ago, Wilson, then District Governor, initiated Ingle into the Rappahannock Lions Club. He commented favorably on the nearly 100 percent membership growth in Rappahannock in those four years, and wished that all other clubs in the district might have done as well. Other officers installed for the coming year were: Rob McDaniel. Fanning Baumgardner, and Art Town as first, second and third vice presidents, respectively; A1 Doub, secretary; Hugh Chrisman. treasurer; Ashton Baines. Lion tamer; Frank Gannon, tail twister; and Carson Johnson, Doug Baumgardner. Holly Pendleton and Clyde Johnson as directors. The Rappahannock Lions Club was founded in April 1958. administrative load is not too heavy to cut me off from working with people." Nettles joins a full-time staff of three: substance abuse counselor Bob Traenor, office manager Mary Tauss and CETA secretary trainee Alice Chrisman. In addition, psychiatrist Bill Young and Rusty Harris, social worker child specialist, are in Rappahannock one day per week. Other regional specialists are also available as needed to offer the full spectrum of mental health services. Help With Stress “All of us have to face stress in our lives,” said Nettles in explaining what he sees as the primary function of Rappahannock’s clinic. “But the stress becomes difficult to cope with or overwhelming from time to time.” Some types of stress are beneficial, according to Nettles. “Your weekly newspaper deadline creates a stress which motivates you to be more productive," he explained. Problems arise, however, when the normal every day stress in people’s lives is complicated by outside factors—marital problems, a child who isn’t doing well in school or i.* alcohol or drug use. i In addition. Nettles exi’: plained, developmental fc&tages-rradolescence. aging, > ’ death, adjustment to a new I family—all make demands on an individual to adapt, creating another source of stress. "Some people can handle stress with no problem, some with only minor problems and some can’t handle it at all. We're here to help those who can’t. That’s our interface with the community,” he concluded. After he’s settled in at his new job. Nettles hopes to buy or build a house in Rappahannock County. Currently, he lives in Banco with his wife Donna and their nine-year-old daughter Robbie, a fifth grader at Criglersville Elementary School.

Under the proposal, violators will be subject to fine. Bike Safety Fran Eldred pointed out that youngsters riding bicycles on the parking lots bordering Washington Square are creating a safety hazard with traffic at the intersection. In addition, she noted, children ride around town on the sidewalks, darting out into the street at corners. “Somebody's kid is going to be wiped out,” she warned. According to Eldred. a state law prohibits riding bicycles on sidewalks. She added that sheriff W. A. Buntin has used this regulation in the past to encourage children to stop but said he felt that a town ordinance would be a better tool. Since the state already has a law prohibiting bike riding on sidewalks. Miller responded, the town doesn’t need its ow n ordinance. Town Plan There were no comments from either the audience of four or the council members during the public hearing on Washington’s First comprehensive plan, developed over the past year along with the county plan by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. Mayor Miller reported that a recent decision by the Virginia Supreme Court upholding Loudoun County's denial of the Windmill shopping center rezoning has put more emphasis on the comprehensive plan. Miller said he’d checked with John Capelle. executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Model Conference (Continued from Page 1) questions. In addition, the students were able to meet with many of the individuals whose role they enacted. Jona was given the opportunity to play the role of Senator Hunter B. Andrews. "It was exicting to meet so many people from all over V r. inia.” said Jona. Everyone was very enthusiastic about the conference. It was enlightening to participate so actively—it was something so new. and we were the first ones to do it." she added. Though Jona says there are still kinks to be worked out in the newly organized program, she enthusiastically affirms its benefits. Jona is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. McKay of Castleton. Planning District Commission, and had been told that the Windmill ruling gives the plan more credibility as a legal document. Zoning Review Miller announced that the planning district staff has placed review of the town’s zoning ordinances asked for by the council on their work calendar and proposed that the project get underway in the fall. The Mayor also reported that he'd been contacted by the proprietors of The Inn at Little Washington who plan to apply for a special use permit to construct four or five inn-type rooms over their restaurant. Miller guessed that the application for the permit will be formally submitted in time to schedule the public hearing for the council’s August meeting. Councilman Charlie Jenkins. who oversees operation of the town’s water, reported that he’d recently repaired two leaks in the system. In addition, he noted that he has had to pump from the well only two days, eight hours each time, so far this year. In other action, the council authorized removal of the fire station signs from the old fire department building, approved the repair of three swings behind the post office and agreed to advertise a bank shares ordinance at the August meeting. At the request of the Mayor, the council retired into executive session to discuss acquisition of property. .Returning to open meeting about 20 minutes later. Miller announced that no action had been taken. After first taking a vote to adjourn, the council voted again to recess the monthly meeting.

Three Positions Approved (Continued from Page 4) proposing” to put the older FMR students on the auditorium stage. Miller asked if the 14 returning students were responsible, for the need of five additional positions. "No sir," answered Bloomer, explaining that the 14 Piedmont youngsters plus handicapped students recently identified for placement required the three new positions under consideration on Tuesday. In addition, he noted, a new LD self-contained feacher has already been aprroved by the board. “All the new positions are necessary to meet the needs of the students,” Bloomer said, adding that state regulations on class size determined the number of teachers required. His proposal, he said, is aimed at providing a special education program that will meet state approval. State Funds Jeopardized Mrs. Massie noted that the letter from Micklem stated that special education funds from the state will be provided only if Rappahannock meets the provisions stipulated. "If the provisions are not followed, the county will be denied funds for these special education students.” she noted. Mrs. Massie added that the allocation for teacher salaries in the approved 1980-81 budget should be sufficient to cover the new positions since so many experienced teachers are leaving the county system this year and are being replaced with less experienced personnel at the bottom of the r salary scale. The same situation last year resulted in $40,000 left over, she noted. She concluded that the expanded special education program is not simply the result of the children returning from Piedmont. "It’s had a rippling effect through all the other programs.” she pointed out. Eastham interjected that it would have been helpful had the special education requirements been addressed during the budget process. “We didn’t know because it had never been brought up.” replied Mrs. Massie. "It was by a question you raised...." "Not I. Madam Chairman," Eastham interrupted. "It was a question he raised with Richmond," said Eastham. pointing toward Dr. Bloomer. “I never raised one question with Richmond." “When you ask someone to put it in writing, they take a firmer stand.” McDaniel countered, in apparent reference to Eastham's often repeated demand that all directives from the state department of education or the federal government be presented the board in writing. In addition, the assistant superintendent noted, the LD resource teacher at the high school would probably not be required for next year if the board had shown “good faith" by approving the aide for the EMR-LD combination as proposed by the superintendent. The aide was cut from the budget by the board along with the modular unit suggested for the elementary school to provide special education 1 16 ACRES this antebellum home built in 1836 is well located in the Mt.

REALTORS (703) 825-1717 classroom space. McDaniel also reported that he and Dr. Bloomer had checked with neighboring divisions to see if the five older EMR students at the elementary school—the only special education class not at or very near maximum allowable size—could be enrolled and bussed to class elsewhere. The answer from Madison and Culpeper was no. he reported. By unanimous vote, the board approved the division of the elementary school classroom (S4.103), two new teachers and an aide (S25.385) and new desks and chairs for the LD resource class at RCHS ($3,58) for a total of $29,846. During the five minutes set aside for questions prior to the school board's now standard executive session, Don Bomberger asked how the educable mentally retarded children could be taught on stage with the noise and distraction of physical education classes held in the auditorium. He questioned how rehearsals for the elementary school’s spring and Christmas programs could be conducted with classes on the stage. ‘‘I'm sure the administration will make arrangements for the students when the auditorium is in use," Mrs. Massie replied. Bloomer volunteered to discuss the arrangement later with Bomberger. whose wife is the music teacher for both the elementary and high schools.
