Planners Recommend Rezoning Mill’s Property By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Planning Commission voted September 24 to recommend that the Board of Supervisors ' approve the rezoning of less than one acre of land belonging to James P. Mills near the Rappahannock Culpep r line. In making its recommendation. the commission asked that Mills furnish an exact description of the County Shares In ABC Profit Rappahannock County will receive $5,484.93 as its share of $5,092,427 in fourth quarter profits generated by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The revenue is distributed to the state’s counties, cities and towns on a per capita basis at the rate of $1.09 for the current period. The county will also receive $631.07 for its per capita share of the State Wine Tax for the same period. In addition, the town of Washington will get $206.92 in ABC profits. property which was identified only as part of a 35-acre parcel presently zoned for agricultural use. The rezoning request was for a change to B-2, General Business or Commercial Use. Making the request of the Planning Commission was Jerry Mills, son of the property owner, who explained to the Commission members that he planned to use the land for a garage and an automobile inspection station. Mftls said that the property iti question joins a lot already zoned commercial - used as the site of his father’s store. During questioning by E. P. Luke, the applicant said that the area in question was in fact currently being used as an auto repair garage and that he already had the license needed to operate as an inspection station. Newbill Miller maintained that advertisements for the hearing had been misleading in that no acreage was mentioned. Miller said that he understood that the exact location and size was difficult to determine without a survey, but that a better description of the land might make a survey unnecessary. Mills was then joined by attorney Sharon Genebach Luke, who said that she thought the description was adequate for the purposes of the hearing. Although two speakers appeared who were technically in opposition to the rezoning request, they both expressed feelings of good will toward Mills’ efforts and said that their main concern was to protect their own property. Special Permit Suggested The first speaker. William Kelly, said that he owned three houses near Mills’ property as well as the private road that serves them. Like Miller, he had been concerned about the ommission of the size of the property when the hearing was advertised. “1 don't want to stand in the way of this young man," Kelly said. “My concern is really for the future.” Kelly said that another, perhaps less conscientious owner of a country garage could create an eyesore that would detract both from the aesthetic and financial value of his and other adjoining property. “Zoning this piece of land commercial seems to cast it in iron,” Kelly said. "Couldn’t it be done with a special use permit?” A special use permit would leave the land with agricultural zoning and the rights to commercial use that it confered could not be passed on to future owners, unlike the rezoning which would remain in force through any subsequent sales. Garages and inspection stations, however, are not among the uses allowed by special permit in an agricultural zone under the county's zoning ordinance. Miller pointed out that a commercial rezoning would not permit an autombile junkyard or an accumulation of old cars to be used for parts. Kelly finished his statement by saying, “It’s hard to really be opposed to what Jerry wants to do. We’re neighbors and he will provide a service ...” "But you want some protection.” Luke broke in. “You do have some protection under the law with our anti-littering ordinance.” “Do you ever intend to operate a used car lot or a “(Continued on Page 2) RCES Book Fair The Rapphannock County Elementary School will sponsor a student Book Fair from October 6 to October 14.

Measles Epidemic Hits Wakefield By daphne hitchinsoin Rappahannock \cw« Staff * ritrr A measles epidemic has struck Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. to date affecting 16 students out of approximately 300 enrolled. According to health department director Dr. John Einarson. the outbreak began when a student returning from England came down with the disease. The youngster was excluded from school on September 17, said Einarson. too late to prevent others from contracting the highly contagious red measles. The health department director for the five-county planning district warned that parents cannot rely, in all cases, on earlier shots to provide immunization. Other outbreaks of the disease around the state in the past few years have shown that infants inoculated before a year old are not fully immunized. In addition, said Einarson, when measles shots were first available in 1964. the immunization was often given with too much gamma globulin or in a two-step procedure using inactivated vaccine followed by activated vaccine. In these cases, with shots administered before 1970, youngsters often lack full protection, according to Einarson. Stolen Vehicle Involved In Collision Two juveniles from Culpeper were apprehended in Rappahannock Tuesday after stealing a vehicle in Culpeper and wrecking it in Sperryville. The '75 Ford pickup owned by George Norris of Culpeper was taken from Tutt’s Grocery on Route 522. A radio message alerted Rappahannock officers, and Deputy Steve Crossman met the vehicle travelling towards Sperryville as he. Crossman. was heading south on Route 522. The juveniles fled into Sperryville. straight through the village and then failed to negotiate the turn from Route 1001 onto Route 211 at the bridge, according to Crossman. The pickup struck a parked vehicle, a ’64 Ford station wagon owned by Oscar Sisk which was thrust into a 1980 Luv Chevrolet pickup belonging to James Lee Dwyer of Washington. The stolen vehicle came to rest in the highway, said the officer. One of the juveniles was arrested at the scene of the collision and the other fled on foot, seeking refuge in a cornfield. He was flushed out with the threat of the arrival of Trooper C. A. Moore and his police dog. Deputy Crossman charged the operator of the truck with reckless driving and the two were turned over to Culpeper authorities with more charges pending. Soccer Meeting Adults and teenagers. 15 years and up. interested in participating in a soccer league are urged to attend a team organizational meeting at the Rappahannock elementary school field on Monday. October 6, at 5:30. Games will be played in Warrenton on Monday nights. For further information, call Bob Haase at 987-8007 or 987-8077 or Mike Hubbard 675-3439. He advised parents who are uncertain about the effectiveness of their children’s protection to check with the Rappahannock Health Department of their family doctor on the advisability of being reimmunized. Einarson noted that early measles symptoms are often mistaken for the onset of a common cold. Eight days to two weeks after exposure, the infected person may have a sore throat, muscular aches, eye inflammation or fever—all before the distinctive rash appears. He cautioned that measles are contagious from first exposure until three days after the rash breaks out and so children with cold symptoms who may have been exposed to the disease should be isolated until it can be determined for certain that they don’t have measles. All suspected cases should be seen by a doctor, he stressed. Dr. Einarson emphasized that red measles leave patients very, very sick. The disease puts a strain on the whole system, he said. creating susceptibility to more serious complicate,,—, including pneumonia, deafness, encephalitis or meningitis. He noted that this form of measles doesn’t present the added threat of birth defects to pregnant women but added that it is still dangerous in a pregnancy because the expectant mother may come extremely ill. Immunization is effective if given within a day of exposure to measles, according to Einarson. If the person has already contracted the disease, the shots will not increase its severity, he said. Einarson added that those people who have had measles usually are protected against a second bout. “It is very uncommon to get it again if you’ve had it once." he said. According to Einarson, no cases have yet been reported in Rappahannock public schools. “We’re working now to contain the outbreak,” he said, adding that the health department stands ready to begin mass inoculation clinics if such measures are indicated.—D. H. Woodville P.O. Wins Added Hour Yielding to public opinion expressed at a community meeting in August, the U. S. Postal Service has negotiated a contract with Mrs. Ruth Orange which ups the hours for the Woodville post office from three and a half to four and a half per day. six days per week. According to William Hunt from the post office’s management sectional center in Charlottesville, needs of the Woodville office will be reevaluated at the first of the year. He emphasized that the proposed study will definitely not result in fewer hours. "After the reaction of the people at that meeting, there’s no way we're going to cut Woodville’s hours any further.” Hunt said, adding that the evaluation may justify expanding hours for the contract unit. Hunt noted that Woodville once had a regular post office which was closed years ago with no objections from the community, and replaced with the contract unit now operated by Mrs. Orange. Pointing out that the community had retained its identity despite this earlier closure. Hunt maintained that the postal service has “bent over backwards to continue to provide service to Woodville.” As an example, he said, special arrangements have been set in motion to ensure that stamps will always be available, even if it means having a postal employee bring them over from Charlottesville if Mrs. Orange runs low. Firmt To Know According to Hunt, citizens of the community will be the first to know if plans for Woodville change. The same applies with all of the county’s post offices, he said, adding that there are no proposals to close any Rappahannock offices. If a closing should be suggested, he said, “we always get community input before acting on it" and if the public objects, plans for change are dropped. Hunt reported that the postal service is “in the process of filling” the postmaster's position at Castleton. vacated by Ray Cannon’s retirement, but added that selection of Cannon's replacement is not yet final. Ruby Jenkins Honored For Service With Extension Office By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In the spring when the dogwoods bloom, Rappahannock’s hillsides will pay silent but colorful tribute to the 41 years Ruby Jenkins spent at the county extension office. Since beginning her job as secretary there in 1939, Ruby has been involved in countless improvement efforts but her work in convincing folks to plant dogwoods ranks as her pet beautification project. At a retirement party in her honor at the recreation center last Friday. Ruby was presented with a perfect little replica of her extension office. In the yard of the office is a branch of a dogwood, commemorating the thousands of trees planted under drives she initiated. Instead of green leaves. Ruby's tree carries $20 and $50 bills, acknowledging the money her planting projects have netted over the years for 4-H programs. Her plan to make Rappahannock’s hillsides, yards and fields burst with white and pink blossoms began when she served on the Washington Town Council, according to Ruby. Elected as a member of the town’s all-woman government in 1950. she was a prime mover in Washington’s clean-up and beautification program and decided it could be expanded past the town limits. Noticing the thousands of dogwoods that grew wild in the county’s forests, she talked her bosses into digging up a few and giving them away to anyone willing to replant the trees. Later, as her flowering reforestation program grew in popularity. Ruby ordered young dogwoods from professional nurseries for sale at a nominal price to local residents and expanded offerings to include redbuds and Chinese chestnuts. Each March, thousands of trees planted under her prodding add to the splendor of spring time in Rappahannock. Ruby leaves behind other monuments to her 41 years at the extension office. According to county agent Rap Owings, she was instrumental in securing the donation of land for the recreation center across the highway from Washington. A tireless fund raiser, she was also responsible for the donation of substantial sums to the drive for money to build a 4-H center near Front Royal. But in addition to these tangibles she leaves behind a legacy of friendship and good will to mark the years she spent at the little red extension office. Secretary to' three of the county’s five extension agents, she worked with all seven of Rappahannock’s assistant agents and all but one of the 19 home agents who have been assigned here. "She was dedicated to the extension service and more importantly to serving all the people of Rappahannock,” said Rap Owings. "She made the extra effort to see that people received exactly the information they wanted. Miss Ruby was always cheerful, even when people called in the middle of the night or asked her to open the office on weekends so they could pick up the ear tags they forgot to get for their feeder calves!” “She was super at remembering people’s names and where they lived even though she didn't get around the county very much. Her memory was fantastic.” recalled Bill Lyne, county agent and Ruby’s boss before Owings. “I’d like to know how many typewriters she wore out 'cause she sure kept things up to snuff in that office. And she was an excellent receptionist. I don't think anyone could have been better—on the phone or in person.” Meeting people was what Ruby said she enjoyed most about her job. She’s seen farm programs change here as the old timers gave way to newcomers who encountered more problems and asked twice as many questions as they turned their hands to agriculture. According to Ruby, the paperwork load at the extension office, as in government-related offices and programs everywhere, increased during her 41 years — Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham HONORED AT HER RETIREMENT after 41 years as secretary for the Rappahannock Extension Office in Washington, Ruby Jenkins received a replica of the little red building where she has worked since 1939 made by Marjorie Atkins and Linda Owings. She was also given an antique churn and a Bible box made by Peter Kramer and engraved with her name and dates of service. on the job. But, she added, she always found the work interesting. “1 enjoyed the last month as much as my first month.” she said. Now that she’s retired. Ruby plans to devote time to her museum and to a long list of hobbies, including knitting. needlepoint, crocheting and refinishing and restoring furniture. “I love to refinish, to try to make something out of nothing.” she added in her soft voice. Although she has plenty to keep her busy. Ruby Jenkins will miss her work as much as visitors to the extension office will miss her helpful attention and welcoming smile. “I’ll miss it but the time comes to leave,” she concluded. Ruby expressed appreciation to the agents with whom she has worked, both men and women, for their patience, cooperation and compatibility in what were sometimes harried situations with a heavy seasonal work load.

Planners Recommend (Continued from Page 1) junkyard?” Miller asked Mills. Mills said that it was not his intention to ever do so. John Hall, another adjoining land owner, was next to appear and he spoke for himself and Steve Bullock, also a land owner. Hall read a letter from Bullock, who was unable to appear in person, requesting that the Commission assign the least intensive zoning possible to allow Mills to operate his business. Bullock enclosed pictures of a group of old cars that were stored on the property but Hall said that the cars were screened from the road by hedgerows. Bullock said in his letter and Hall repeated in person that neither man wanted to stand in the way of Mills’ efforts. Miller told Hall that the zoning applied for was the mildest zoning change possible in this case and that a special use permit would not allow the operation of a garage. The Commission heard several short statements by other adjoining land owners in favor of the zoning change before making the recommendation that the supervisors grant Mills’ request if a better property description is furnished. Four members of the Commission were present at last Wednesday’s hearing: Chairman Herbert Barksdale. Col. E. P. Luke, David Thornhill and Newbill Miller.

Sperryville’s long awaited sewer system has inched closer to reality with recent approval from the State Water Control Board for a new feasibility study. According to Maury Biddle, chairman of the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority, the State Water Control Board (SWCB) has informed the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Housing and Urban. Development (HUD) that the newest plan for Sperryville’s sewer system meets all state regulations. In response, said Biddle. HUD has agreed to finance part of the system with the balance expected to be picked up by EPA. Biddle said that final word from EPA is anticipated within two weeks. Plans went back to the drawing board last April when construction costs for the double lagoon facility and collection system climbed from S8S0.000 to S2.3 million within three years. Biddle had no cost estimates on how much the new design will cost but said he hoped the price would be halved. "That’s what the feasibility study's supposed to tell us.” he added. Acccording to- the WSA chairman, the latest design proposal will utilize existing septic tanks for the first stage of sewage treatment. Collection lines will connect to septic tanks instead of leading into each house and will carry effluent to a lagoon. Only one lagoon instead of two will be required for the second stage since treatment will already have begun inside the septic tanks. Biddle explained. In addition, he noted, further cost reductions are expected to result from using gravity flow instead of pressure lines and from reducing line size from six inches at approximately $16 per foot to four-inch line at about $12 per foot. The WSA’s proposals seek funds from EPA to install septic tanks in the nine Sperryville homes without indoor toilet facilities. Biddle continued. He noted that the earlier grant included money for bathrooms in the same nine houses. “Now we need tanks for those bathrooms,” he said. * Sperryville is operating under the gun of a state health department and SWCB order to clean up the community’s health hazard, ranked fifth in Virginia, created by raw sewage flowing into the Thornton River from malfunctioning septic fields. Biddle noted that the SWCB has been trying for 10 years to resolve pollution problems created by sewage in ground water seeping through Sperryville’s alluvial, stratified soil into the river. "This system will keep the water out of the soil,” he said. According to Biddle, the WSA is only two weeks behind its work schedule set in July which called for the new feasibility study to being in August, public hearings on alternative designs in December, design specifications completed in February. 1981. bid advertisement in late March and the start of construction in early April. “We’re sticking to that schedule,” Biddle concluded. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson DOWN IN THE DUMPS—Porky’s pouting after the forecast of rain on Tuesday never materialized.

Traffic Mishaps Plague Rappahannock A rash of traffic crashes and collisions have occurred in the past week and have been investigated by Trooper C. A. Moore. Injuries have been minimal in most cases but property damage has been extensive. September 25 on Route 522 at the intersection of Route 637 near Foster’s, north of Flint Hill, two vehicles collided. According to Moore. Lee Haun of Flint Hill in a *74 Ford truck made a left turn in the path of Ben Cason of Warrenton who was travelling north. Mary Alice Cason, a passenger, sustained undetermined injuries and was taken to Fauquier Hospital. Warrenton. Damage to the Haun vehicle was estimated at S2000 and at SI500 to the Cason. Haun was cited for reckless driving, said Moore. At 8 p.m. the same day Judy Lynn Hall of Sperryville was involved in a single vehicle crash in Gid Brown Hollow. She was driving a ’78 Dodge which went out of control and struck a rock wall. There were no injuries and no charges were placed. Frank Hardy of Washington, driving a ’65 Mercury tore down several panels of fence and struck a tree Saturday on the Shade Road, Route 622. Hardy ran off the right of the road and lost control of the auto, according to Trooper Moore who said charges were pending. A juvenile, a passenger with Hardy, sustained some injuries and was taken to Fauquier Hospital. On September 28 at 10:30 a.m. on Route 647 at Flint Hill near the intersection of Route 638, George Cook of Flint Hill escaped serious injury when a deer jumped into the' side of his ’69 Chevrolet convertible, fell into the back seat, then jumped out and fled. Moore estimated damage to the car at $700 and Cook sustained a lacerated ear and whiplash. At two o’clock that day on Route 522 north of Massies Comer. Mary Ellen Mears of Catonsville. Md. operating a 1980 Volkswagen truck stopped to make a left turn into Less's apple house. She was struck in the rear by a ’75 Plymouth driven by Katherine Johnston of Pittsburgh. Pa. According to Moore, Ms. Johnston was cited for reckless driving, and he said Ms. Mears sustained minor injuries. Three vehicles, one parked on the roadside, were involved in a collision Tuesday morning at the intersection of Routes 522 and 641, the road into the Aileen plant south of Flint Hill. Mary Ann Tharp of Castleton in a ’64 Chevrolet was stopped to make a turn into 641 when she was hit from behind by a GMC truck belonging to Monticello Dairy and operated by Barry Clem of Culpeper. Clem came over a hill, attempted to avoid Tharp and struck a 1978 Ford pickup owned by Bradley Dodson of Flint Hill which was parked, according to Trooper Moore. Clem was charged with reckless driving and damage to the dairy truck was minimal. Damage was set at $450 to the Dodson vehicle and at $300 to Tharpe.

Waldren O’Connor Plays Many Roles = In H.M.S. Pinafore Production i 3y THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Theatregoers in Washington this weekend will have the opportunity to see Waldren O’Connor as the self-congratulatory Captain Corcoran - the man who “never ever swears” - in the library benefit performance of H. "St'. S. Pinafore. But those who have worked with him from the beginning of this ambitious undertaking know that the captain is only one of the many roles that O’Connor has played in this effort that he says has been distinguished by “moments of thrilling success and dark despair.” O’Connor is the producer of the musical comedy which means that he has been responsible for every mindboggling detail involved in a production of this sort since he and his wife, Cornelia first selected H. M. S. Pinafore as a vehicle suitable for an amateur performance in Rappahannock County. I visited Mr. O’Connor last week in an effort to pry from him some of the details of a very interesting life that began in pre-depression era New York and found him last Friday in the scaffolding eight feet, above the stage in the Gay Street Theatre in Washington, Virginia. O’Connor has been interested in every part of the theatre since his student days at Trinity College in Connecticut. “I don’t know if it was the theatre that interested me so much or just any kind of expression,” O’Connor said. His next step after college was a short stint in medical school in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins: “I realized rather quickly in 1969, shortly before coming to Rappahannock County to live. Mrs. O’Connor has also been very hard at work on Pinafore. sewing the elaborate costumes for the well-dressed nineteenthcentury characters. O’Connor has been a fan of Gilbert and Sullivan for years, and he volunteered some of the history of the timeless H. M. S. Pinafore. It was the third collaboration for Gilbert and Sullivan and was so successful in London that it was widely put on throughout the United States. “Copyright laws being what they were then,” O’Connor said, “all of these versions were pirated, or unauthorized, and did not enrich the creators by one penny.” Finally the team of Gilbert and Sullivan and their producer, D’Oyly Carte, rehearsed in New York in an effort to compete with the fraudulent American versions appearing there. The critics fell in love with the authentic version and the musical got rave reviews. They were so successful here that Gilbert, Sullivan and Carte decided to open their next musical.

Pirates of Penzance, in New York to get the jump on the companies that were sure to steal it. Sullivan wrote the score and Gilbert wrote the words and provided the direction. They insisted on using real actors who could sing, rather than popular singers, which was the custom of the day. “Gilbert was a hard master and considered a temperamental perfectionist,” O’Connor said. “But the actors always sided with him when there was a dispute. And he never attended the first night’s opening since he always was afflicted with a terrible case of nerves. He would wander around London until the opening performance was over.” Unlike Gilbert, you won’t find Waldren O’Connor pacing up and down Gay Street Thursday night when Pinafore opens, since he’ll be needed on stage in a key role. But O’Connor said that they’ve had their share of worries since the first casting of Pinafore. “We’ve had people leave the county, get sick, anything you could think of,” he said. “The logistical obstacles have been enormous. There are no wings in the theatre so the actors must dress at a home several blocks away and arrive by bus at the theatre. Building the set has also been a problem since the theatre is in constant use. Still, we have persevered and the library is a worthy beneficiary.” Rappahannock County dwellers are fortunate that O’Connor and his crew have persevered. The advance sales for H. M. S.

Seventh Graders Plan Fund-Raisers The seventh grade classes at Rappahannock Elementary School are planning the annual educational trip to historic Jamestown and Williamsburg with a stop in Richmond to visit the state capitol. In order to make the trip, funds are needed for transportation, lodging, etc., so students are arranging fundraising projects. The trip is scheduled for January 21, 22 and 23 with chartered buses used, so about $2500 will be necessary to finance the event. It will take a lot of enthusiasm and hard work to realize this goal. Among activities planned are a Fun Fair on Saturday, November 1 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.nt. Games and refreshments will be provided. On November 21 and 22. a photographer will be at the school to take family portraits. Students will be asked to sell coupons for the pictures. A spaghetti dinner will be served in December in conjunction with the school Christmas program and a volleyball game between teachers and students is scheduled for early January. Baked items and popcorn will also be sold. No firm date has been set for a Gong Show, but plans are underway for this in which teachers plan to participate also. Presently ballpoint pens and RCES school bookcovers are being sold before school, at PTA meetings and on Parent Conference night. Suggestions are welcome for new ideas and assistance with the fund-raising program. The previous trips have proven beneficial, as well and enjoyable, for all.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2,1980 It’s 4-H Week National 4-H week begins October 5. It will be a time when more than five million young persons across the country and in several US territories will use the theme “Expanding Horizons” to rededicate their heads to clearer thinking, hearts to greater loyalty, hands to larger service and health to better living. Four-H is a unique organization, and it has grown and changed with the times, offering young men and women from 9 to 19 a way to grow and learn. It is. in fact, the largest out-of-school education program in the United States. In a single year, more than 500,000 leaders typically put in as many as 90 million hours helping members complete project work. Emphasis has always been on learning by doing, but project topics now range from aerospace to wood science, from agriculture to veterinary medicine. And while the majority of members still come from rural areas and small towns, 4-H has begun to embrace city dwellers, tripling its enrollment of urban youth in recent years. More than 40 million Americans have participated in 4-H activities. Four-H appears to offer “something for everyone.” Such a program certainly deserves the community support it has received. The coming week is an excellent time to consider the contribution this program has made to the county and to the country. It is also an excellent time to consider what kind of contribution the community can make to 4-H. At the very least, it is an excellent time for us all to consider our personal four h’s. The Fire Season - It’s been a long, hot summer. The rain shortage has placed a hardship on farmers here, curtailing harvests tremendously. Cooler weather is arriving but it still is very, very dry. The scattered showers received recently have done little to moisten the soil and replenish water-supplies. The arrival of fall often is noted by three things—the opening of hunting season, yard cleaning and fires, lots of fires. Unfortunately, the first two fall “rites” mentioned often cause the third. Because the woods and fields now are potential tinderboxes, extra care should be taken when hunting, building campfires, smoking outdoors, burning leaves and other activities involving fire. Each year many acres of local pasture and wood lands are damaged by fires which more often than not are started carelessly. Unless caution is used in open areas, many more acres could be burned this year. That would be a senseless waste. Discipline Students Want More Discipline Children and rules don’t often go together without a lot of conflict. Students like testing rules and those who enforce them. It’s a big part of growing up. This testing of parental and teachers’ discipline, and the discipline of society’s laws and accepted behavior, helps students develop the selfdiscipline they'll need at maturity. Don’t be surprised if your children disagree with you. or appear to reject what you say. Children of all ages, no matter how much they appear not to. actually want guidance and rules from adults. They want to know how their parents and teachers stand in the swirl of conflicting values and peer pressure. Some of the most complaining, seemingly independent students are secretly grateful for parental limitations and standards around which to base their behavior. Many a child has oeen able to get out of doing something by gladly blaming parents who “laid down the law.” Youth offenders at one Pennsylvania correctional facility placed the blame for being there on adults who didn't care enough to discipline, to tell it like it is. to sometimes say “no.” Students surveyed in a recent Gallup Poll said they want Firmer discipline, more discussion of values, more guidance. What b Discipline? Many people think discipline is the same as punishment. They think of spankings or suspensions from school. But punishment is only a small part of good discipline. Discipline is following the rules of appropriate behavior. Parents make rules for small children: “Don’t touch the stove.” “It’s time to go to bed.” Teachers later expand those rules: “Be on time for class.” “Let another student answer without interrupting." Society adds other rules, such as when you can drive a car and buy alcohol. Parents, teachers and society promote the concepts of good discipline as they related to private property (stealing, breaking windows), public property (writing on school desks, littering the highway), respect for people who are different (the old. the handicapped), and respect for one's self (truthfulness, sexual behavior). All of this—from good manners to good driving habits, from respecting adults to avoiding drugs—is discipline. And it all helps students mature, to develop their own rules for life, to establish self-discipline. With good role models, this selfdiscipline will help the child become a more successful adult. Virginia Downed In Polo Match Sherry Hamill, the chief riding instructor at Birchgate Farm in Amissville, traveled to the Potomac Polo Gub on Sunday to join the Virginian team as they fought for the First Annual Honey Bee Cup sponsored by the Electric Equipment Corporation of Virginia. Virginia lost to Potomac 6-3 in a slow but cleanly contested game. The violet visitors were at a serious disadvantage—they didn’t know each other, had not been playing regularly and were all on borrowed horses which they did not have time to warm up. It took until the second half of the four-chukker match for the purple to get it together more to their own score, leaving them down 6-3. Hamill got started in polo at Cornell University where she was a major factor in the founding of the women’s team. After college, she worked for polo players for several seasons and saw a great deal of the country, including visits to both Canada and Mexico, as well as several months following the big tournaments in the West and a winter's season in Florida. Four years in Europe put a damper on her playing, but not in her interest as she followed matches in England and Ireland. Last summer, she was connected with the Burnt Mills Club in New Jersey and played quite regularly. While each Sunday since the beginning of June has found Hamill at a polo game in the area, opportunities to play have not been forthcoming. Despite being sorely out of practice, she gladly accepted the challenge of helping to represent Virginia in the Honey Bee and gave her best to the losing effort. while Potomac had run up a four-goal lead. Ham ill was moved from offense to defense in the third period and concentrated on taking out Liz Beer, Potomac’s strongest player. That slowed the yellow down, but they still managed to add two more before Richmond’s Annette Davis made good on a No. 2 foul shot to put Virginia on the board. Virginia finally turned it around and dominated the final period—had the game been the normal six chukkers, the outcome might have been quite different. Not only did the visitors prevent Potomac from scoring, but they added two ++++ Gunpowder, the first explosive known, was discovered by the Chinese and used to make firecrackers. —Rappahannock New* Photo/There** Reynolds Our Rappahannock Heritage Library Family Film Schedule The library’s Family Film Night will resume its showing of movies the family can enjoy in October.

Drought Halves Virginia Harvest Virginia’s farm income at harvest time is expected to be down by half because of crop losses due to the drought. And that could mean that 10 percent of the state’s farmers cOuld go out of business, according to S. Mason Carbaugh, Virginia’s commissioner of agriculture and consumer services. Record-breaking temperatures and below-average rainfall conditions continued throughout July and August, causing severe damage to crops and livestock and forcing the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) to declare 43 localities disaster areas. Heat and dry conditions most heavily affected an area of 40 counties and three cities from Stafford County south to Southampton County and from Amherst County east to the Eastern Shore. Farmers in these areas who suffered crop damages to corn, soybeans, milo, vegetables, sorghum, and pastures are now eligible for Five percent FmHA emergency loans. The biggest casualty of the drought in the commonwealth is reported to be the 30-75 percent loss of the Jobless Rate Here Below State Level The jobless rate here continues to stay below state and national levels. In August, the unemployment rate here stood at 4.4 per cent, says the Virginia Employment Commission, well below the state rate of 5.4 per cent and the national rate of 7.5 per cent. corn harvest. The areas of the state showing the greatest lack of rainfall. Tidewater and parts of Central Virginia, is where 70 percent of the corn for grain is grown. Ernest Wrenn, Southampton County Extension agent, reported that the corn yield per acre is usually in the 90-bushel range in a good year. This year, however, Wrenn says that yields have been cut in half or less, to 45 bushels or under per acre. "It is definitely going to be one of the worst years financially for farmers that 1 can remember,” Wrenn stated. Soybean, potato, and peanut crops are also severely damaged. High temperatures were blamed for the deaths of 400,000 chickens and 6,000 ducks. Allen H. Allison, Extension peanut specialist at Virginia Tech's Tidewater Research Center, Suffolk, said that earlier in the year specialists had predicted the peanut yield throughout the state to be the best since 1973. "If we had received rain in the last 7-10 days, we could still have had a fairly decent crop.” Allison remarked. “Normally in the month of August, we receive an average of six to eight inches of rain. This year, we received one inch.” Harvesting of the peanut crop normally begins around September 15. This year, however. Allison is urging peanut producers to postpone harvesting until closer to the first frost. 'They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by harvesting early,” Allison explained. Agricultural losses from the drought nationally exceed $4 billion and are expected to reach $100 million in Virginia, according to Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services reports. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson COUNTY SCHOOL BUSES have been equipped with new stop signs with hopefully will add to the continued safe operation of these vehicles.

Watts Is Still Cutting And Smiling After A Half Century By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannork Knn Staff Writer In his 50 years of snipping and trimming, Marion Watts has left a trail of hair that stretches from the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific to the Blue Ridge foothills of Rappahannock. A barber in the county for 36 years. Watts celebrated a half century in the business in September. And after all this time, he still loves his job. "I have no plans for retiring. None whatsoever. As long as I’m able, I plan to keep right on working.” Besides, he’s tried retirement once already and found it not to his liking. After the building that housed his Amissville shop changed hands, he decided that 48 years of barbering were enough for anyone. “I was going to retire but all my friends were either somewhere else or still doing things. I got bored with just looking at TV. I decided my friends would be in more often if I opened another shop.” he explained. Now the red and white pole goes round and round again in front of the apartment building next door to Washington’s post office, a flag marking one of the county’s unofficial landmarks. Watts started his career at a Richmond barbering school in 1930. A native of Lynchburg. he set up shop first in Culpeper, a long way from home. But that was just the first jump. He put thousands and thousands of more miles between his barberchair and southwest Virginia with the outbreak of World War II. Death, Taxes And Haircuts One of the constants in this life is a regular haircut. Only baldies can ignore the clippers. Hair keeps right on growing through times of crisis, through depression, inflation, recession—and war.

Wakefield controlled the ball during most of the game and overcame a fullback press during the second half to score five of their seven goals. Particularly outstanding was the performance by rookie goalie Chris Reed, one of Wakefield’s new boarding students. Coach Peter Quinn said he looks forward to the most successful season in the school’s history.

September marked a half century in the “Clip Joint” business for Watts who has barbered in Washington, Amissville, Culpeper and across the Pacific Ocean. forced to pull away from their gun sights to brush the hair out of their eyes. For 37 months, he barbered on the USS Massachusetts, a destroyer with a crew of 2,900. In between 27 major clashes at Formosa. Saipan, the Fiji Islands. New Guinea, Okinawa and other Pacific battle sites. Watts worked full-time to keep hairlines in compliance with Navy regulations. "We didn't necessarily have to cut it real short, just off their necks and off their ears." he reported. The war took priority over trims, of course, and during engagements with the enemy, "Mighty Mamie’s" barbershop closed. Watts then traded his scissors for a battle station, manning phones on the third deck. Appointments were often interrupted. “We were the first out and the first to leave." he said of the Massachusetts and her crew, noting that they never even struck land during their last year in action. Watts left the Navy and her battlewagons behind at the close of World War II and returned to Virginia to open a barbershop in Washington, building the red brick office and apartments which now house the county’s welfare department. "There was just one old building there and 1 tore that down. All the rest of this was just hog lot.” he remembered. sweeping his hand around the apartment that currently serves double duty as a barbershop. Tonsorial Artist At that first Washington barbershop. Watts instructed another generation in the art of cutting hair. "1 taught seven or eight boys around here how to barber while they ' were in high school,” he said. Two still ply their trade in Front Royal while John Eubank operates his business in Sperryville. "Watts was a very, very fine instructor,” said Eubank, recalling that he started as a shoe shine boy in 1949 while still in elementary school and then moved up under his old teacher’s watchful eye to give shaves, shampoos and finally haircuts. "With all my experience now. I can say he’s one of the best I’ve ever seen.” Eubank continued, adding that he has attended seminars and classes under other barbers. "Watts is better than any of them—everything has to be just right before he’ll turn a customer loose." Watts prospered during the,’60s. a time when longhaired styles for men drove many barbers out of business. Although his favorite cut was and still is what he calls a “medium hair cut.” Watts never minded doing long hair. “My wife was a beautician and I used to help her out real often. So when long hair came into popularity. I knew what to do with it." he explained. In 1968, a serious automobile accident interrupted his barbering for a year. After his recovery, he .sold the red brick building in ^Washington and relocated, first in the Washington post office basement for a few months and then in Amissville. Ten years later, he came back to Washington, this time as the right-hand side instead of the left side neighbor of the Rappahannock News. Steady Customers With this last move, half his Amissville customers followed him down the road, according to Watts. They joined a list of regulars, some from Culpeper before the war and a few from even earlier, who’ve remained faithful to Watts and his scissors. His engaging conversation and twinkling eyes topped by one of his best advertisements— his own painstakingly groomed coiffure—have brought a little army of regulars back to his barber chair again and again. “Some of my customers IFYOUTHINKTHESEARE SOME OF THE BEST WOOO STOVES MADE.

Jack Campbell of Culpeper, got his first haircut from Watts in 1932 at one of Virginia’s Conservation Corps camps. With the true appreciation of a master craftsman. Watts noted that Campbell has “the prettiest white wavy hair you've ever seen in your life.” Watts regularly runs into faces from the past. Once he had a traveler drop in for a haircut while his car was being worked on at Merrill’s garage. The man mentioned he was from Massachusetts and Watts responded that he’d served on a battleship named after the state. 'He said his son had too that he ran a print shop on the ship. 1 stuck out my hand and said ‘Glad to meet you. Mr. Pfieffer. I had the barbershop next door’,” Watts recalled. Obviously, the print shop sailor must have talked about the barber from around the corner because. Watts reported, the sailor's dad replied "I know who you are! You’re Watts!” Chuckling as he recalled anecdote after anecdote in a down home version of Mr. Roberts and Navy battles between the swabbies (good guys) and the brass (bad guys). Watts flipped through his book “USS Massachusetts. April 1942August 1945.” There, flanked by a shot of his printing buddy, was a photograph of "Mighty Mamie’s” barbershop with a much younger Watts flourishing scissors and comb. Fifty years have added a few wrinkles but they’ve failed to squelch the enthusiasm he feels for his work. To borrow a few lines from a hit Broadway musical, "long as they keep growing that hair.” Marion Watts will continue on his second half century behind the red and white pole.

Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters IE NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF INVESTIGATION OF APPROPRIATENESS OF FEDERAL RATE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR POTOMAC EDISON COMPANY The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (the “Act”), requires that the State Corporation Commission give public notice and conduct a public hearing to determine whether the federal rate design standards established by Section 111 of the Act are appropriate to adopt with respect to Potomac Edison Company (“Potomac Edison”). Those standards which are determined to be appropriate for adoption for Potomac Edison may be implemented by the Commission in the context of later proceedings. The proposed standards to be considered are as follows: (1) Cost of Service — Rates charged by Potomac Edison Company providing electric service to each class of electric consumers shall be designed, to the maximum extent practicable, to reflect the costs of providing electric service to such class, as determined in accordance with the following: In the consideration of this standard, the costs of providing electric service to each class of electricuconsumers shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be determined on the basis of methods prescribed by the State Corporation Commission. Such methods shall to the maximum extent practicable — / (1) permit identification of differences in cost-incurrence, for each such class of electric consumer, attributable to daily and seasonal time of use of service and (2) permit identification of differences in cost-incurrence attributable to differences in customer demand, and energy components of cost. In prescribing such methods, the State Corporation Commission shall take into account the extent to which total costs to Potomac Edison Company are likely to change if — (A) additional capacity is added to meet peak demand relative to base demand;and V- >Wi. •’1 V v . ■ ■ (B) additional kilowa^t-bourg of^lfctryp energy are delivered to electric consumers. (2) Declining Block Rates — The energy component of a rate, or the amount attributable to the energy component in a rate, charged by Potomac Edison Company for providing electric service during any period to any class of electric consumers may not decrease as kilowatt-hour consumption by such class increases during such period except to the extent that Potomac Edison Company demonstrates that the costs to Potomac Edison Company of providing electric service to such class, which costs are attributable to such energy component, decrease as such consumption increases during such period. (3) Time-of-day Rates — The rates charged by Potomac Edison Company for providing electric service to each class of electric consumers shall be on a time-of-day basis which reflects the costs of providing electric service to such class of electric consumers at different times of the day unless such rates are not cost effective with respect to such class, as determined in accordance with the following: i The consideration of this standard, a time-of-day rate charged by Potomac Edison Company for providing electric service to each class of electric consumers, shall be determined to be cost-effective with respect to each such class if the long-run benefits of such rate to Potomac Edison Company and its electric consumers in the class concerned are likely to exceed the metering costs and other costs associated with the use of such rates. (4) Seasonal Rates — The ratescharged by Potomac Edison Company for providing electric service to each class of electric consumers shall be on a seasonal basis which reflects the costs of providing service to such class of consumers at different seasons of the year to the extent that such costs vary seasonally for Potomac Edison Company. (5) Interruptible Rates — Potomac Edison Company shall offer each industrial and commercial electric consumer an interruptible rate which reflects the cost of providing interruptible service to the class of which such consumer is a member. (6) Load Management Techniques — Potomac Edison Company shall offer to its electric consumers such load management techniques as the State Corporation Commission has determined will — (A) be reliable, (B) provide useful energy or capacity management advantages to the electric utility, and (C) be practicable and cost effective, as determined in accordance with the following: In the consideration of this standard a load management technique shall be determined by the State Corporation Commission to be cost-effective if — (1) such technique is likely to reduce maximum kilowatt demand on Potomac Edison Company, and (2) the long-run cost-savings to Potomac Edison Company of such reduction are likely to exceed the long-run costs to Potomac Edison Company associated with implementation of such technique. • * * I A public hearing ha* been scheduled to commence at 10:00 a.m. on August 10, 1981, in the Commission’s Courtroom, 13th Floor, Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia to aid the Commission in its deliberations of the foregoing matters. The Commission earlier ordered Potomac Edison to file, by March 9, 1981, sample rate schedules reflecting an analysis of the federal standards, together with supporting testimony and exhibits. All interested persons who wish to appear before the Commission at the August 10, 1981, hearing as Protestants must file with die Commission on or before March 30,1981, a Notice of Protest setting forth their interest in this case, and must also file a Protest on or before June 26, 1981, in compliance with S.C.C. Rules. On or before June 26, 1981, all Protestants must file with the Commission all testimony and exhibits they wish to offer in direct evidence at the hearing. Copies must be sent simultaneously to Potomac Edison and other Protestants requesting them. Any interested person, not intending to appear as a Protestant, but who desires to speak in his own behalf before the Commission at the August 10, 1981, hearing, must so advise the Commission by July 30, 1981 in writing addressed to Clerk, State Corporation' Commission, Document Control Center, P.O.

Mrs. Frank Huff. Miss Sallie Lillard and Frankie l,Huff spentMonday at , Springfield Mall in Fairfax. account or signing any other open-end credit agreement should pay close attention not just to the monthly and annual interest rates but also to the way finance charge is computed. There are three major ways of calculating a finance charge: "previous balance", "adjusted balance” and "average daily balance”. Using "previous balance” the consumer (you) receives no credit for payments made during the billing period. The charge is calculated on the closing date of the previous billing period. Stay away from this kind of system. Using "adjusted balance” method the consumer receives full credit for any payments made during the billing cycle. This is the best method. Today the "average daily balance” method is used most frequently. It combines both methods mentioned above. The consumer’s balances are a^ded up daily and then divided by the number of days in the billing period, thereby giving the consumer credit for all payments made, but not before they are received. There is a big difference in the three methods of calculating finance charge. For example: if the annual finance charge rate is 18 percent a year (I'/j percent a month), and your balance is $300 before any payments, the finance charges are as follows: previous balance $6; adjusted balance $1.50 and average daily balance $3.75. As the example shows, the consumer should avoid creditors who use the "previous balance" method. More creditors are using the "average daily balance" method. The consumer can only pay sooner in the billing cycle to lower the balance on which the charge will be figured.* If you need any information concerning this subject or related subjects, please call the extension office at 675-3619. + + + + William Henry Harrison served the shortest term as president. 31 days in 1841. - ’*vhU*_.Frank.lin Roosevelt - served the longest- 12 years. 39 days. Prefect Council Named At Wakefield Wakefield School held an induction ceremony September 24 for its 1980 Council of Prefects. The 32 new prefects, elected by the student body and representative of all grades, took an oath to uphold the honor code, enforce school rules and conduct and represent the student body. The Wakefield Council of Prefects is an honored body of students empowered to investigate breaches of conduct and to make recommendations for suitable disciplinary action. The system of prefects follows the centuries old example of the English prefect system still used in the schools of England. At Wakefield a new slate of prefects is elected each fall on the basis of leadership and character. The system is an opportunity for students as early as first grade to develop leadership skills. Each year the Wakefield Leadership Award is presented to a member of the Prefect Council who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in the role of class prefects. Elected to this year’s council are Laura Larimer and Branden Gary (grade one): Dorothy Simonpietri and Richard Campbell (grade two); Matthew Lynn and Jonathan Andrews (grade three); Jennifer Anderson and Peter Cordry (grade four); Gwinevere Von Ludwig and Douglas Barnes (grade five): Ryan Barnes and Ashby Simmons (grade six); Diane Benzing, Madeleine Connors, Larry Tarr, and Nancy Proctor (grade seven); Macon Uskurait. Brooke Turner. Doug Brooks and Anne Connors (grade eight): Kim Johnson, John Vanderzon, Adam Arkfeld and Georgia Glattly (grade nine); Robert Dickey and Donna Funk (grade 10); Ann Huber and Kim Aylor (grade 11); Amelie Von Ludwig and Halimah Holliday (grade 12).

They recently opened their Remember When Antiques in the rear of Washington's Country Store to offer fine furnishings fashioned by artisans as a choice from the mass produced assembly line outpourings of modern furniture stores. The tastefully decorated showroom holds a wide range of antiques from primitives to fine formals with an accent on old English. "We have a customer who turned into a buyer who travels to England twice a year and picks up things for us,” Sherry explained. Sherry attributes her interest in antiques to her husband’s parents who have managed their own antique business at Millwood in Clarke County for the past decade. “We worked with them and collected on our own for five or six years," she said. Sherry added that Remember When’s customers will have access to her in-laws’ $500,000 worth of inventory. ‘‘With that much inventory, you can imagine the selection they have." she said. In addition to old pieces, the Gormans will make reproductions of antique furniture in pine or oak. Sherry also puts her green thumb to good use with the many house plants she offers for sale. In addition to dried flower arrangements, calico and gingham accessories and copper and brass. Remember When also sells original paintings, including oils by local Washington artist Helen Bridges. Sherry and her husband, an administrative assistant with Miter Corporation in McLean, afe in the shop on weekends from noon until 9 p.m. and in the evenings on Wednesday through Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. The rest of the week.
