Rappahannock News, October 9, 1980

19, VA 23219 The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 31st YEAR, No. 40 USPS 45558C 10 Pages THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9.1980 Washington, Virginia School Board Tackles Capital Planning By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer At a special meeting Tuesday night, the Rappahannock school board acted to begin resolution of the five-year controversy over school expansion. “No one from Fairfax is going to come in here and tell us what to do. I think we’re going to have to make the decision ourselves on what we need,” said Newbill Miller as the board opted to abandon the idea of a program audit by an outside professional and instead to determine themselves curriculum and space needs in the county schools. The board set October 28 at 7:30 for a meeting devoted solely to discussion of curriculum, following chairman Beverly Massie’s contention that what will be taught must be determined before a conclusion can be reached on space needed for teaching. Superintendent William Bloomer was asked to have data ready prior to the special session on enrollment by grade from 1968 to the present and to provide the number of students attending Piedmont Vocational Center and the number of students leaving classes for jobs after a half day at RCHS. Bloomer convinced the board to use enrollment rather than average daily attendance figures as a guide to determine space needs, pointing out that classrooms must be built and desks provided for the maximum number of students who may attend on a given day. The superintendent also reported that John Hamill, state department supervisor for buildings who spoke several months ago with the board, has promised to have a “scientific enrollment projection” for Rappahannock schools ready by November and will also provide the formula used to reach that projection. In response to a question from high school instructor Don Bomberger, Mrs. Massie explained that teachers will be given an opportunity for input in the October curriculum meeting through written comments which must be forwarded to the superintendent by October 21. The deadline will give Bloomer time to circulate faculty members’ remarks to the board prior to the special session, she noted. Mrs. Massie added that teachers will also be given an opportunity to speak and ask questions—but not to debate—at the meeting. Following the October 28 session on curriculum, the board as a team will visit the schools while classes are in session. Then an additional special meeting or meetings will be scheduled for a final decision on curriculum at RCHS. The board’s action to finally “bit the bullet” on capital outlay came in response to a demand from the county supervisors for a progress report on a capital improvements program for the schools by December 4. At the same time the supervisors asked for the report, they also requested the school board to review its opposition to the installation (Continued on Page 8) —Rappahannock N«w» Photo/Sarah Latham LOADED AND READY, syringes of measle vaccine lay waiting on Tuesday for Dr. R. S. LeGarde and public health nurse Frances Thornton. The health department’s clinic at Rappahannock County High School innoculated 142 students as a precaution against the measles epidemic which erupted last week at Huntly’s Wakefield Country Day School. According to superintendent William Bloomer, there have been no cases of the disease confirmed to date at the county’s public schools. Quaintance Named As Tie Breaker By unanimous vote at vlonday's board meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors lamed former elementary ichool principal Mary Botts ^uaintance as tie breaker for he county school board. The action came in response to new state law which took effect October 1. Formerly, Sperryville attorney James W. Fletcher served as the official tiebreaker for all local governing bodies. Under the new law, the entity responsible for school board appointments—in this case, the supervisors—must choose - a school board tie breaker separate from the individual who fills that capacity for the board of supervisors. Miss Lucy Finds Few Changes After 25 Years Miss Lucy Conrad returned to Rappahannock last week for one of her periodic visits to the county she’s loved for 25 years. In a switch on the standard practice that sees American and foreign students trading places. Miss Lucy swapped jobs with county teacher Mary Miller Wood a quarter of a century ago. Mary Miller traveled to the Canadian province of British Columbia where she lived with Lucy’s sister for a year and taught in public school there while Lucy rented an apartment in the old Sperryville hotel and taught fifth grade here at that neighborhood’s elementary school. The two women became friends as a result of their shared experiences as exchange teachers and have maintained close contact through the intervening years. British Columbia is thousands of miles and another country away from Rappahannock County but neither exchange teacher noticed significant contrasts between the two school systems. Lucy recalled only a few changes in the elementary curriculum, anticipated since Canadians could hardly be expected to study Virginia history. “The main difference was that it was a big city school up there and a little country school down here,” Mary Miller recalled of her year in the port city of Vancouver. Although Vancouver was and is a major metropolitan area, the island port and its province of British Columbia shared enough similarities with Rappahannock to ward off homesickness. Both places, according to Lucy and Mary Miller, are blessed with mountains. As Rappahannock is one of Virginia’s least populated counties and was so 25 years Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson LUCY CONRAD, Canadian exchange teacher who taught in Rappahannock 25 years ago, is back in the county for a visit with Mary Miller Wood. ago, so British Columbia is the most sparsely settled of Canada’s provinces. Cattle, grazed in the valleys there and in the hollows here. Both women faced weather surprises when they traded jobs—Mary Miller living in a climate where the thermometer rarely climbed past the 70s during summer months and Lucy having to contend with snow after being used to winters of rain. Mary Miller recalled that she was initially planning to trade jobs with a Canadian from Saskatchewan in the exchange program. The woman, however, wanted "travel and culture,” both rare in Rappahannock 25 years ago. Lucy Conrad was second in line for the job in Rappahannock. "When I heard the news, 1 was so excited! I rushed to our library and grabbed the atlas and reference books, trying to find Sperryville. We did find it too,” she remembered with a smile. After locating the little Rappahannock village that first time, Miss Lucy has returned again and again. “I like this area so very much,” she explained. Has she noticed any differences in 25 years? ‘‘Actually, I see very few changes," said Miss Lucy, now retired. "That’s what 1 like about Rappahannock. It's always been beautiful and it’s still beautiful, unspoiled.” In suggesting Mrs. Ouaintance, Luke noted that she regularly attends school board meetings and is knowledgeable and up-todate on matters pertaining to education. “Her appointment would satisfy a lot of people,’’ agreed Wakefield supervisor Hubert Gilkey. Mrs. Quaintance has agreed to accept the position, the supervisor chairman reported. Rt. 211 Widening According to a letter from highway department district engineer Don Hope read at Monday's meeting, plans have been approved for fburlaning Route 211 from Washington to Sperryville. The project, however, is not included in Rappahannock's six-year road plan. In answer to a letter from chairman Luke stressing the county’s support for completion of the long-delayed highway expansion, Hope wrote that his office’s rightof-way section is doing preliminary work on acquisition of the necessary land as time and financial resources permit. In other action, the board voted unanimously to set a public hearing on the rezoning application from James Mills for its next session on November 3. Mills seeks to have less than one acre of land on Route 729 rezoned from agriculture to commercial for the operation of a garage and inspection station. His request received favorable recommendation from the Rappahannock planning commission after its public hearing two weeks ago. More Tnuth Problems Prior to retiring into executive session, the board heard Mrs. Garland Sealock’s request that another location be found for Chester Gap’s dumpsters. Noting that plans call for the green boxes to be moved (Continued on Page 8) Food Stamp Limit Changed The United States Department of Agriculture will reduce the allowable limits for resources in the Food Stamp Program from $1750 to S1500 effective October 1. Allowable resources are money in checking and saving accounts, U. S. savings bonds, stocks and bonds, property, and pleasure craft. This change is the result of the 1980 amendments to the Good Stamp Act of 1977 that were passed this summer by the U. S. Congress. The $3000 maximum resource level for two person households, in which at least one person is over 60 years of age, will remain the same.

Supervisors Tame Loitering Ordinance By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Faced with the possibility of court challenges on constitutional grounds, the Rappahannock supervisors on Monday tabled action on a proposed loitering ordinance designed to combat harassment from idlers in Sperryville. Commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner, who drafted the proposed ordinance at the request of the supervisors, noted that Virginia’s General Assembly allows passage of loitering legislation as a local option. "But you should be aware of the fact that there is potential for court action,” he advised the board. "That's possible on all laws,” replied H. B. Wood. With loitering laws, the potential for challenge is greater, Baumgardner explained, because Virginia courts have not yet ruled on the constitutional issues raised by such legislation. He added that several jurisdictions have passed ordinances similar to that proposed in Rappahannock and then chose not to enforce the loitering laws. “Some loitering is part of local culture,” maintained supervisor chairman E. P. Luke, as an example, he pointed to the old men who gather at the front of stores for hours at a time, whittling on sticks and exchanging gossip. “Some of those people have been sitting around for years. They’ve been sitting around since before I came here.” He acknowledged, however, that there’s another kind of loitering crowd besides the old whittiers—groups that throw rocks at passing cars and make nuisances of themselves. Trespass Laws Little Help Sheriff W. A. Buntin responded that the proposed ordinance won’t interfere with the whittlers but is intended as a means of combating “the others who hang around all night, getting into nothing but trouble.” As far as existing laws being sufficient to control the group that “hangs around” Sperryville, Buntin noted that all of the town’s businesses have “no loitering" and “no trespassing” signs posted. Enforcement difficulties arise under trespass laws, he said, because of controversy over where private property ends and public right-of-way begins. Idlers stand just at the edge of a business lot and move from one store to Fire Escape Bids Finally Authorized After 3 Years Three years after a citation from the state fire marshal for fire code violations, the Rappahannock supervisors finally appear ready to correct the court house's safety deficiency by authorizing construction of a wooden fire escape from the second floor. “Now we come down to the famous subject of a fire escape,” said supervisor chairman E. P. Luke at Monday’s board meeting. He noted that state specifications for fire exits from historic buildings had been changed since Rappahannock’s fire code violation was first pointed out and now an escape from the second floor can be constructed of wood instead of expensive steel. "The problem is how to get the job done now that (county engineer) Fanning (Baumgardner) isn’t available," Luke said. (Prior to his registration last month. Baumgardner had agreed to design a fire p escape and draw up specifications for construction.) "It’s been hanging too long. We ought to do something," said supervisor Clarence Baldwin. Luke concurred. "If anything happened, we would be in tall trouble." At H. B. Wood’s suggestion, the supervisor chairman agreed to see if the state will supply an approved fire escape design and if not, to advertise for an architect for the project. Landfill Site “Another problem we have to get working on is selecting a landfill site," Luke continued. adding that the county “will run out of time on July 1. 1981." He acknowledged that no property owner wants a dump next door but added that Rappahannock must have one “somehow, somewhere, sometime." Noting that the supervisors in the past have tried to avoid condemnation action in land acquisitions, Luke appealed to county residents for cooperation and asked anyone willing to lease or sell property suitable for a dump site to contact a board member. Currently, the county complies with the state mandate requiring provision of a landfill by contracting with a private firm to maintain and empty dumpsters. Under a special use permit granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Community Trash Service was authorized to operate a private landfill for disposal of trash from Rappahannock dumpsters. The special use permit for the dump, located in Woodville on land leased from Clifton Clark, expired approximately a year and a half ago and to date, has not been renewed by the BZA. Building Inspector? Addressing another refusal (Continued on Page 8) inii iilniniin in i mi.' non. another, according to the sheriff. “This type of harassment has made the people there very upset,” he said. “If there is harassment, it should not be condoned,” stated Sperryville resident Carson Johnson. “But it’s hard to legislate human behavior by passing a bunch of ordinances,” he added. Johnson maintained that existing laws are enough to correct the situation faced by Sperryville merchants. “I don’t think that Sperryville is as bad as some people think,” he continued. “I’ve been around the Exxon station for 10 years and I've never had a minute’s trouble. They didn’t even soap my windows on Halloween night,” Johnson said, maintaining that difficulties with loiterers depend in large part on the way owners operate their businesses. "I don't see where we need another county ordinance,” he concluded, suggesting that action against Sperryville’s idlers be taken under trespass charges. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin agreed that new laws are unnecessary. In addition, he noted that during his 21 years of operating a country store, he’s never had to call law enforcement personnel for assistance. Broken Window* Ticking off the kind of harassment Sperryville visitors. residents and merchants have to endure. Sheriff Buntin reported that windows have been shot out of both Lester Deal’s gift shop and the Corner Store, that a picnic tabt^from the Emporium was torn up and thrown in the Thornton River' and that hoodlums climb up on the Comer Store roof to throw gravel at passing cars. In addition, there have been numerous reports of idlers blocking traffic on Route S22 in town and yelling abusive language at motorists. Buntin said that troublemakers have been taken to court on trespass charges three or four times with no results, primarily because of questions over property lines. He maintained that the harassment would cease if “that bunch” could be moved from the intersection in the center of town. “It’s already against the law to throw rocks at cars or to trespass,’’ countered Johnson. “That’s right but we have to catch them,” Buntin replied. “Just the point of passing (Continued on Page 4) Rappahannock News photo/S.

Country Manor Gift Shop Has Something For Everyone Rv THFRITKi DrvKra nc ft' In Sperryville, shortly before the entrance to Skyline Drive, is the Country Manor Gift Shop. This is the home of the Blue Ridge Mountain Trolls, who have captured the imagination of local residents and tourists alike. The troll is a very hairy little creature, most recognizable by his bulbous nose which is fashioned by mountain craftsmen out of a knobby gourd. The troll b festooned with sea shells, pine cones, and nuts which give him a whimsical rather than unfriendly look. A sign above the troll shelf at Country Manor explains: "Blue Ridge Mountain Trolls can be seen on moonlit nights cavorting about the mountains. They can be caught with two hickory sticks and a burlap bag." If you’re not too quick with the old hickory sticks, you can put moonlit nights in the mountains to better use and purchase a troll of your very own at Country Manor from Phyllis and James Swindler. The Swindlers have been running Country Manor since 1973 and can offer a little bit of everything that anyone could possibly want for a gift. In addition to the trolls which have become a sort of local specialty offered ex clusively at Country Manor, the Swindlers stock Blue Ridge Mountain pottery, brooms, baskets, honey, hams and bacon, apple butter and jellies, jewelry and other small mountain craft items, and furniture. Although the emphasis is oi mountain products, th< Swindlers also offer t selection of fine gifts from al over, including Humme figurines, Williamsburg reproduction delft, ham mered copper cookware, and Rappahannock Nn»* Photos/Theresa Reynolds WHITE OAK BASKETS from the mountains are a specialty at Country Manor Gift Shop.

Any listing of the gift I selection at the Swindlers would have to leave many things out: their inventory covers huge showrooms on two levels. Tucked away in one comer of the upstairs display area is > a decorated Christmas tree. On it and on several shelves nearby are grouped handmade calico ornaments and special children’s Christmas presents. Phyllis Swindler is hoping that Rappahannock people will take advantage of her gift shop when it’s time to start Christmas shopping. “Many people think we just cater to tourists on their way to or from Skyline Drive,” she said. "But we try to carry a complete line of gifts that local people might need. Many of our neighbors here don’t realize that we carry items of interest to them, too. And shopping here could save a lot of trips and a lot of gas.” The gift shop is a second career for James Swindler, who retired from the service to return to his hometown of Sperryville. He and Phyllis lived in Massachusetts, Turkey and Japan, before opening their first business here, the House of Baskets, in 1971. Their interest in local baskets, especially the study, ribbed baskets of white oak splits, is evident in the large inventory in the lower level of their gift shop. In 1973, they launched Country Manor with the construction of the huge new building on Route 211. These days, the store is filled with tourists from all over the country who have come to enjoy Skyline Drive during the colorful fall season. But the Swindlers are busy with yet another venture - one that mixes business and sentiment. They have restored the log cabin near the site of the old Pullen store and Post Office, and with the help of their three children - James II, Natalie Ann and Bobbette, they have furnished it with fine antiques and Appalachian crafts which they sell from the cabin on weekends. They call the little cabinshowroom “Thornton Gap” after the local name for that section of the cut through the mountains. But at one time that little area was called “Pullen” and was the site of the post office, country store and distillery operated by James Swindler’s family until 1918 when centralization closed the post office. Unlike many distilleries operated in the mountains in years gone by, the family business was a legal one, licensed by the government.

Clark, was born there in 1840. His father - Swindler’s great, great-grandfather also lived there. The cabin was in constant use until the 1950’s when a tenant named Sam Frye was the last known inhabitant of the house. The Swindlers have renovated and added on to the cabin while preserving its original appearance. It stands next to the Swindlers’ home and, in addition to being an antique showroom, it serves as an apartment for their son. The Swindlers have selected the very best from their large collection of Appalachian furniture and crafts for display in the cabin. They have brightcolored quilts in the traditional Appalachian patterns, old crocks and churns, apple-face dolls, large tables set with fine old china. Around the outside of Thornton Gap is a border of rosemary, santolina, lavender, thyme and southernwood, the delicate patterns and soft hues of the herbs forming a contrast tc the mellow old logs of the exterior. While she enjoys the gift shop, the cabin restoration is Phyllis Swindler’s real love. “I’ve got to get used to antique buyers, though,” she said. "People come into the gift shop and almost always they’ll buy something. Here at the cabin they look and look and come back again and look before^they buy anything. That’s fine with us, though."

In accordance with a vote taken at the department’s recent meeting, the carnival is scheduled to run from Tuesday, June 30, through Saturday.

Immediately, he must take the kill to an official checking station where the license tab will be exchanged ' for an official game tag. ] Bankston added that a summary of game laws may be obtained from most sporting goods stores and license agents, and they should be reviewed before the hunting seasons begin. \ The peaceful foothills of Thornton Gap are a big change from the bustle of travel and foreign service that characterized the Swindlers’ life before their "retirement”.

A Is For Apples, Antiques And Atkins By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer As every first grader knows, A is for apple. In Rappahannock, youngsters learn another A—the second one for antiques. Sperryville merchants combine the two to form the backbone of the village’s economy, attracting customers shopping for both winesaps and old oaken dressers. During autumn months, Elmer Atkins is Sperryville’s busiest business man, hard pressed to find time to divide between his cider mill nestled a little way up the mountain and his antique shop on Route 211. Apples ripening in local orchards send trucks spilling over the red and golden delicious, winesaps, yorks and stayman to stand in line at Elmer’s cider „ press, the only one in the county. Making his own cider and doing custom pressing for county growers is a full-time job in harvest season. At the same time, Rappahannock’s annual fall show featuring a blaze of color from a million leaves draws carload after carload of city folk looking for trees. The tree hunters turn into antique buyers as they wind back down from Skyline Drive past the shops that line the main road through Sperryville. This tourist demand for pieces of history coupled with the orchardists’ waiting for apples to be mashed into cider keep Elmer and his family hopping back and forth, spending weekdays at the mill and weekends at his combination gas stationantique warehouseapplemarket. Last week, bins from Eldon Farms, George Sharp’s Mountain Green Orchards and D. K. Russell and Sons waited their turn while Atkins unloaded apples from Ivan Hall’s pick-up truck and Ted Triplett’s flatbed. “One of the hardest things in apple season is to get in here,” volunteered Hall who’s been bringing in apples since he first bought his orchard 15 years ago. “I’ve had them lined up like New York Avenue in rush hour sometimes,” Atkins reported, adding that things are slow so far this year. According to Triplett, the season is running a little behind, with apples, like the ' -*»Jf Wm PIEDMONT VIRGINIA’S BEST CIDER i» frora .pples cider business is a family operation with Beverly Atkins Conners in her straw hat on the job last week operating the press The Atkins’ youngest daughter, Judy, will take a week’s vacation from her job as school board secretary to help her dad during the peak of the season. i peaches before them, ripening two weeks later than usual. Not only is the season dragging, but the fruit isn’t quite up to par. Atkins reported that the 18 bushels normally run through the press with each load produce about 65 gallons of cider. "Apples are a little dryer this year than they have been. They just haven’t got the juice,” he explained, attributing the below-normal cider production per load to last summer’s drought. Sugar content is down too, Atkins added, noting that the cider produced to date hasn’t been as sweet as usual. Right now, only red and golden delicious and with a few stayman are ripe enough for the presses. Atkins predicted that as other varieties are ready, the cider will get sweeter. “A mixture of three or four varieties—like grimes, stayman, york and delicious—makes the best cider. The more kinds of apples, the better the cider. When the winesaps and the rest of them ripen, the taste should improve. Right now, it’s sweeter than it was two weeks ago because the KgROSUN' PORTABLE HEATERS (1 Radiant 38 You need something that’s dspsndabls, efficient, safs, economical, and requires no outside power.

The operation that Elmer has put together and refined over the past 18 years is a miniature assembly line. Apples arrive in 18 bushel bins and are carried with a small fork lift that he zips back and forth on between the trucks and the start of the conveyor. Bill Sisk, assistant with both antiques and apples for 13 years, operates the levers which lift the bins into the air and tip them over, sending red and yellow fruit cascading down into the washing com partment. Elmer Atkin stands at the end of th washer, waiting to pick ou twigs, leaves and rottei pieces as the conveyor bel carries the fruit into th< chute that leads to th< hammer mill.

With each tug, a t batch of chewed up mash i falls onto the press located t directly beneath the hammer ■ mill, sending splatters 12 feet ■ or more across the room. This explains why Beverly : wears a plastic apron gloves 1 and straw hat. In between aach of the six plops of apple nash, she sends a piece of iacron cloth whipping across the wooden slats and removable frame of the press with practiced skill. Each time she pulls away the frame and sets it back on top with another dacron square to catch a new batch of mashed apple, the tower climbs higher until it almost touches the bottom of the chute. Once six slatted layers are in place, each separated by dacron folded into a square bag, the press squeezes the apple mash until cider runs through the cloth like water through a sieve. The juice flows from the vat through plastic hose that leads to a stainless steel tank in a small side room if its Elmer’s apples or to waiting plastic barrels ready to be loaded back on the trucks if its a crstom job. Meanwhile, the squeezed out residue is saved for livestock. “It makes good horse and cattle feed,” Atkins noted. The whole operation from start to finish takes just a few minutes. According to Atkins, when he gets cooking during the peak of the harvest season in October, he can produce 2,000 gallons of cider per day. To a vistor, the heady aroma of cider makes the pressing business smell mighty appealing. To Elmer Atkins, it’s just another days work. “It’s a sloppy, nasty job,” he stated with conviction. At the shop down in the village, Elmer shares the ] chores of refinishing restoring and selling antiques 1 with his wife Martha and Bill ~ Sisk. Mrs. Atkins described their stock as country furniture. primarily oak. “We don’t handle much primitive,” she added. According to Elmer, the couple “just started foolin’ around with antiques” about 25 years ago. “We started buying a few pieces of glass, a few pieces of furniture, never really knowing what we had ” Martha added. They learned as they went along, she said, starting at a time when antiques were cheaper and dealers were scarce. They gave up buying at auctions a few years ago and now pick up furniture and accessories from other dealers in northern states, concentrating their buying sprees in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Most of their stock reflects Victorian styles although Elmer was quick to note that he buys “anything that’s good.” The best antique we’ve got is right here,” said Martha with a grin, pointing at Elmer. “No, that’s our best antique." Elmer chuckled, waving back in her direction. It’s obvious that antique dealing rates higher in preference with Elmer and Martha Atkins than pressing cider. But squishing apples ranks way over growing the fruit, at least with Elmer. He buys all the apples he uses for the cider he sells at his Sperryville stand and has no plans for branching out as a' grower. “I wouldn’t have an orchard if somebody gave me one,” he concluded, shaking his head.

In the winter, you wonder why the air is so dry that your lips are parched and static electricity pops all over. Why does the humidity quotient vary from summer to winter? Because relative humidity is a function of both moisture and temperature. The warmer the air. the more moisture it can hold. If too much humidity is your problem you may be able to deal with it at the source by installing ducted fans that vent vapors outdoors from the kitchen, laundry and bath. In the summer, if you don’t have air con ditioning, you may want to invest in a mechanical dehumidifier. The problem of too little moisture may occur during cold snaps. If you need more moisture, you have two main types of automatic humidifiers to choose from. One kind is built into the heating system and spreads moisture through the heating ducts. The other requires no ducts and functions much in the manner of a window airconditioner. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, REALTOR, Middle Street, Washington. Phone: 675-3400. We’re here to help. Every day our linemen climb utility poles to help keep your electric service at its best. But many poles have become so covered with metal nails and staples from signs and posters that it has created a safety hazard. Our linemen depend on their “spurs” cutting into the wooden pole to provide surefooted climbing. However, if there are nails and staples in the poles, there’s a chance that the spurs will not dig into the wood and a serious accident could result. So please—do not attach or nail anything to utility poles. Thank you for your cooperation. Potomac Edison Part of the Allegheny Power System

Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation " 1' 1 0 — J THURSDAY. OCTOBER 9,1980 FROM BOTH BARRELS Is Mr. ‘Ke-yarter’ Gaining Momentum? By GEORGE BOWLES Democrat Special I nter “From all I hear, it sounds like Ke-yarter is gaining ground," a veteran observer of the Virginia political scene told me the other day. “Yep.” he said. “Ke-yarter is catching up on Reagan, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out why!” K He spoke in a quietly bemused tone, and in the soft accents of a classic Virginian. Without affectation, he inserted a "y” after the first letter of the President’s name. It is a manner of speech quite familiar to those of my generation, and never fails to conjure up visions of magnolia blossoms faintly remembered, stately plantation houses, and the political peace which prevailed throughout the Commonwealth during the days of Harry Byrd. His observation came during one of those impromptu bull-sessions in the Capitol Press Room where reporters, politicians and political prophets gather to resolve the problems of the state, and occasionally tackle those of the world. They manage to do all this, of course, without the benefit of help from Mr. Gallup, Mr. Harris or anyone else who might spoil the fun by injecting provable facts. The remark was prompted, however, by several recent polls around Virginia which seemed to indicate that Mr. Carter is. indeed, closing the gap on Mr. Reagan. “I can’t understand it,” said my friend, “but I have this gut feeling that the polls are pretty close to being right, and a lot of people I know—Reagan people—tell me the same thing.” A senior reporterfuftpwed his brow and nodded assent. “I was surprised by the polls," he said. “I thought Mr. Reagan's lead was far larger and holding steady, but apparently it isn’t. Could it be that people are just deciding that nobody could do much better than Mr. Carter, so why change?” "That’s a part of it." agreed the first speaker, “but you know what? 1 think the sleeper in this whole thing is Reagan’s age. Nobody mentions it, but people are nervous about a man starting his first term as president when he’s 70 years old. It worries them.” “I know it worries me,” said the senior reporter. "And another thing.” continued my friend, “the Reagan people are making one hell of a mistake. They ought to be concentrating on Ke-yarter’s record and quit all this foolishness about who started what about the Ku Klux Klan, who is a racist and who is running a mean campaign. If they would just keep talking about Keyarter’s record, they could whip him.” "When one of the fellows was out in Detroit,” said a second reporter, “he filed a story from the Republican convent:«n about a conversation he had with a cab driver, and that cabby may have said a lot. He said, ‘the closer we get to Reagan, the better Carter looks.’ Do you think there’s much of that kind of thinking around?” “There may be.” replied a third reporter in the group. “What we’ve got this time around is a situation where no candidate has a really fired-up following, or, for that matter, a really fired-up opposition. You take that situation, and there’s not much to make people vote for a change. It doesn’t take much motivation to make them vote to keep things the way they are. but to make them vote for a change requires some perception of a really compelling reason. I don’t think they see one.” “And another thing.” he continued. “Reagan has pulled out of the debates now. and that has made people forget Carter pulled out of the first one. Reagan doesn’t hold news conferences for fear he’ll shoot himself in the foot again, and it took him three days to decide what to say about the war in the Middle East. When he did say something, he blamed the war on Carter, for God’s sake! Nobody bought that garbage, and that’s the kind of thing that's eating away at his support. We all feel it, and the polls show it. “He’s still ahead, and he's relying , on television commercials. and the protective shield of John Anderson to keep him ahead. In effect, he’s gone into his own rose garden, or as you would say, - sir,” turning to the veteran observer, "his own rose geyarden!” "Okay, you guys,” said the veteran, “Is Ke-yarter gaining momentum in Virginia, or isn’t he?” “I would say,” replied the senior reporter, “that you have to put it another way. Mr. Carter is sort of standing still in a relative sense, and Mr. Reagan is backing up to him. You might say Mr. Reagan is building up a backward momentum which conceivably could pass Mr. Carter going in the wrong direction.” "Then you are saying Keyarter could carry Virginia?” “If Mr. Reagan backtracks J fast enough between now and November 4, sure,” said the senior reporter, “but if Mr. Carter is to carry the state, Mr. Reagan still has a lot of catching up to do. "I would personally doubt if he could do it,” he added V Letters To The Editor H.M.S. Pinafore Has Sailed To the editor: Now that H.M.S. Pinafore has sailed on, it is my pleasure to express sincere thanks to some who helped at the end, not too late to be especially useful, but too late to be acknowledged in the program, to one who was a tower of strength in the final throes, and to all the people of Rappahannock who made our efforts a very welcome financial success for our county library, which is doing an increasingly notable job for Rappahannock. It deserves everyone’s support, and last week it received just that in a heartwarming manner. The two able assistants (who are the “Rappahannock Finishers” when not constructing a mast for Gilbert and Sullivan operetta) Barbara Sharan and Sandra Maskas, were not only capable and interested but also willing to try a messy job which 1 hoped would eventually produce a mast to our specifications but which I could not guarantee, as it was a first-time venture for the three of us. That it survived three nights of apparently supporting a good-sized sail while looking as if it had played that role for decades was a tribute to their care and energy. They even transported the towering stick to the theatre. Then next day Jim White, who has just returned to the county stepped the mast along with “D” Knuepfer, who also served with minute attention to detail as properties manager of the production. Then there was a “dea ex machina” Micheline Hostetter, who arrived one day (the very day she was most needed—not by chance but because she knew what was needed that particular day) with a jointed tower jointly owned and jointly erected. It made possible what would have been formidably difficult or well nigh impossible—the hanging of the spar that bore the sail made of the sheets generously loaned by a number of loyal countians—and the lights, thousands of dollars worth of lights—brought from D. C. by John Ralph from City Lights. Inc. through his friend, Mr. Burdette. In closing, a round of thanks for an invaluable loan, the piano, which Mrs. L. J. Crews volunteered at the critical beginning of rehearsals when every day counted. To all, my repeated gratitude. WALDRON O’CONNOR Lunch Week Is Oct. 12-18 If the boycott at Rappahannock County High School lasts through Friday as expected, it will end just in time for Rappahannock students to join with approximately 27 million youngsters in 91,000 schools across the country to celebrate National School Lunch Week, October 12-18. Rappahannock schools and other systems participating in the National School Lunch Program will serve a universal menu featuring beef tacos and other Mexican favorites. Mable Burke will join with cafeteria coordinators across the country in conducting special activities to promote lunch programs. In addition, parents are invited to enjoy a school lunch with their children during National School Lunch Week. Cafeteria personnel will be available to answer questions regarding the school food service program. Reservations for lunch can be made with school principals. As part of a continuing effort to involve the community in the lunch programs at the schools, state regulations require help from two parents in planning menus every month, according to Mrs. Burke. Anyone interested in assisting should call the cafeteria coordinator at 987-8773. Church Service On Sunday, October 19, church services at Willis Chapel will be held at 11:15 a.m. with services at Sperryville Methodist at 10 a.m. The change in time is for October 19 only. ++++ Mauna Loa Hawaii is the world s largest volcano in cubic content Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson RAPPAHANNOCK’S WILD BUNCH, the soccer team sponsored in the Fauquier league by Don Keithley’s Old Hollow Grocery, celebrated the end of last season’s losing streak on Saturday.

No Action On Loitering Law I'-ununuea irom rage u an ordinance doesn't stop the problem,” Johnson answered. “I brought it up because people have complained. If the supervisors don’t want to pass it, that's fine with me,” Buntin said. Commonwealth attorney Baumgardner interjected that two competing interests are involved and that only the board has authority to weigh these interests in reaching a policy decision. On one hand, he said, is the objectionable conduct of individuals hanging around public places, a situation that local law enforcement can’t monitor since the sheriffs department doesn’t have enough manpower. On the other hand is the questionable constitutionality of loitering ordinances which are vague and also create potential for abuse from law enforcement personnel, according to Baumgardner. Rappahannock New* photo/Sarah Latham WILL IT HURT? RCHS history teacher Jim Logan reluctantly bared his arm for nurse Frances Thornton’s needle while superintendent William Bloomer provided moral support at the high school’s measle innoculation clinic on Tuesday. “The board must decide if the loitering problem is serious enough to merit passage of this type of ordinance,” he stated. Baldwin pointed out that a deputy driving by a country store faces a difficult decision in determining if the person sitting around is "whittling on a stick or punching holes in tires.” The ordinance takes care of that point, Buntin noted, by specifying that an individual must move on when requested by a peace officer before that individual can be charged with loitering. Sole Amusement For Some The only amusement some people can afford "is to go down to Skippy Giles’ store and sit for a few hours watching the cars drive by,” said Baldwin. “I have sympathy for them. I know these people.” If the law is administered properly. Baldwin maintained, police will have to ask those old fellows to move along just like the troublemakers. In response to questioning from Col. Luke. Wood reported no difficulties with loiterers in Woodville. “Everybody is too busy. They don’t have time to sit around,” the StonewallHawthorne supervisor said. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey said there’s no problem in Chester Gap but added that Flint Hill, the other half of Wakefield District, had difficulties with loitering. Wih no futher discussion, the board voted unanimous support for J. R. Latham’s motion to table the proposed loitering ordinance "for the time being.” H- .. - """" ..

Kids Boycott School Lunches For probably the first time since the county high school was constructed, students buying lunches in the cafeteria all have room to sit down. But the space is not due to a new expansion program. Instead, its the result of a boycott that has seen the average number of lunches purchased drop from between 150 and 200 to around 30. According to assistant principal John Toth, the boycott which began on Monday can be attributed primarily to an increase in meal prices coupled with a corresponding decrease in serving sizes. The school board voted in August to raise lunch prices at the high school from 50 to 65 cents, leaving Rappahannock lunches five cents more than meals in Culpeper. In addition, Toth said, servings are smaller. He explained that portions were too large last year. This year, they’ve been cut back to meet the standards set by the state Department of Education’s food services division. “The students think they’re not getting enough, particularly with the rise in prices, but actually they’re getting exactly what they should be,” said cafeteria * coordinator Mable Burke. Toth noted that menu selection also played a part in the boycott. “We had Welsh Rarebit last week and 1 don’t think that went over too well, plus on some days, the students haven’t gotten dessert on their trays. It’s been a combination of factors.” To prevent food waste, the high school has instituted special measures. Toth reported that students were asked on Tuesday to fill out signed forms indicating if they planned to buy lunches. Those youngsters who didn’t have their names on the dotted lines wouldn't be served, according to the assistant principal, “We had to give the cafeteria staff some idea of how much food to prepare,” he explained. It looks like RCHS youngsters have weighed principles versus appetite and found the scale tipped in favor of principles. Despite the empting aromas of apple crisp that were floating around the high school on Tuesday, the protestors were sticking to their boycott. "Rumor has it that it’s supposed to go on all week," Toth concluded.—D.H. Rappahannock Nam Photo/Sarah Latham YOUNG HEADERS were all smiles as they stocked up on books at the elemehtary school’s annual book fair this week. Students may choose from a wide and inexpensive collection of classics and new favorites through Friday.

By BIRGITT THORNHILL Fashion Sweaters and sweater sets are the attractions for fall. They look good teaming easily with pants, dresses and skirts; work in the layered look and keep warm in homes, schools and workplaces that are being kept cooler this winter. Sweaters go from short and skimpy to elongated dress versions. Sweaters are central to the “preppy” look as they team up with blazers, plaid skirts, pleated shirts and oxford cloth button-down shirts. Knee socks and penny loafters can also be added to complete the "preppy” theme. Sweaters are the fashion for men and boys this fall and winter, too. V-necks, crew necks, turtlenecks, argyle. cables, striped and other interesting textures and patterns will mix and match with plaid pants, solid color pants, jeans, jackets and skirts. Wild Game Cookery The hunting season is almost here. Ladies, we had better get our cookbooks out to prepare what our husbands bring home. The following are a few recipes by Mrs. Henry Mosby, Blacksburg. She is an expert on different ways of cooking wild game. Roast Wild Turkey Rub the wild bird well with butter, margarine or corn oil (Mrs. Mosby thTnks corn oil clings to the bird’s flesh better), then rub with salt and freshly ground pepper, salting the inside of the bird well. Put a peeled, whole potato and onion inside the body cavity to absorb a lot of the strong, gamey flavor. If you prefer this gamey flavor then omit these. Cover the bottom of a roaster with water and put the bird inside. Cover. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place roaster in oven and immediately turn heat down to 325 degrees. Baste several times to keep fowl from drying out. Cook the same amount of time you would a bought turkey. Venison Rout Wipe roast with cloth dipped in vinegar. Sear the venison until it is a crisp, dark brown. If the roast is large, cut from the hind quarter for example, rub it with bacon drippings and sear for 20 minutes in a 500 degree oven to prepare for roasting. Place roast in roaster. Pour over it the juice left in the skillet from searing. Then add about a cup of water, mixing with any remaining drippings in the skillet. Sprinkle the roast with salt and fieshly ground pepper. Place thin slices of onion and Unpeeted lemon slices on top of the rOaSt-, securing with toothpicks. Then top with strips of bacon placed between the lemon slices. Add one bay leaf and more water to cover the bottom of the roaster. Cook venison as you would beef in a 325 degree oven until done. Cool venison in stock at least 20 minutes before slicing. Grilled Venison Grill frozen, ground venison patties and chops over a charcoal fire while basting with Italian dressing. Fried Rabbit or Squirrel Skin, wash and cut up into serving pieces. Wash well again, then sprinkle each piece of meat with salt and let stand in a refrigerator overnight uncovered. Add no water. When ready to fry, dip each piece into flour. Brown on both sides in butter or oil. Add a little water to the skillet,' cover tightly and steam the meat just like southern fried chicken. Unlike chicken, the rabbit or squirrel will have to be steamed a little longer. An older rabbit should be parboiled 20 minutes before it is browned and then steamed.

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 dan of electric consumers 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 — /C. (1) permit identification of differences in cost-incurrence, for each such class of dec trie 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 accoant 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 (B) additional kilowatt-hours of electric energy are delivered to electric consumers. (2) Declining Block Ratee — 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 Rate* — 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 deter mined in accordance with the following: The consideration of this standard, a time-of-day rate charged by Potomac Edison Company for providing electric service to each claw 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.

Fire Escape, Other Mandates Addressed continued from Page 1) by the county to meet state mandates, supervisor Wood asked where Rappahannock stands on providing a building inspector. "We're covered on that," replied Luke, claiming that the building inspection department created earlier this year by the supervisors satisfies the state requirement for an inspector. The department, however, is neither funded nor staffed to date and exists solely on paper. Luke told the board there are two ways to go on organizing an inspection program: either charge homeowners per inspection visit or set fees based on square footage and' type of construction. He noted that local applicants for the position of I / l r FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHAN6E _'NCOWPOWATjg REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Recent state mandates on dog pound operation received even less of a welcome from the supervisors than building inspection, fire safety and landfill requirements met with in past years. Judging from the board’s reaction on Monday, Rappahannock may set a record for non-compliance, waiting to meet this newest mandate until the state stands Over the county with a club. Luke described most of the regulations as “absolutely uncalled for in a rural community.” Reading from the guidelines, he objected specifically to requirements for (1) secured water bowls or automatic watering devices, (2) kennel buildings which give adequate protection against weather extremes for each animal. (3) criteria for cage construction out of stainless steel, fiberglass, heavy galvanized metal, galvanized wire or their equivalent. (4) provision for separation for 48 hours of animals suspected of being ill and (5) keeping the pound open to the public at reasonable hours during the week. “A complicated bunch of crap" was the supervisor chairman's comment on the list of requirements. In response to questions, dog warden Jack Bruce said he keeps stray dogs for five days before destroying them.

Reese reported it hanging around their property for weeks, he asked if these dogs must also be retained for five days before disposal. When none of the supervisors could recall whether the five-day limit was a state law, local law or ject standard but unregulated practice, Luke suggested that Bruce continue to keep dogs five days no matter what the circumstances. Dog Dietician? Returning to the new guidelines. Luke noted that requirements call for food to be stored 12 inches above the ground in a special food preparation area to keep it away from bugs and rats. Obviously, said the chairman, whoever drafted the guidelines was not familiar with the leaping and climbing talents of country mice and insects. “Twelve inches—a cricket can jump that high,” supervisor Baldwin remarked. "We'll have to get a dietician," joked supervisor Wood. "That’s better facilities than you have in the jail," added David Konick from the audience. Jack Bruce interjected that the supervisors can check Page County’s dog pound if they want to see a facility that meets the new state regulations. ‘Tve heard it said that the tightest people in the world are in Page County but they’ve had their pound for years." Bruce said. In addition, he noted that Page employs both a warden and a deputy with the warden paid approximately SI 1.000 per year. "1 don’t know where their money’s coming from." he concluded. Luke reemphasized his objections to the new pound regulations, this time describing them as ‘‘absolutely ridiculous.” ”1 would suspect Mr. Bruce is taking care of those dogs pretty well.” added Wood. Rappahannock County already has "an adequate solution to the problem” of stray dogs. Luke concluded, dismissing the state specifications. Quaintance Named (Continued from Page 1) to highway department right-' of-way directly across the street from her buildings, she stated her concern over the effect the refuse containers will have on the value of her property. In addition, she pointed out that no other dumpsters in Rappahannock are located as close to a dwelling. She added that the odors from trash during summer months will be offensive to both tenants in her garage and to herself, noting that she is "allergic to everything.” “Have you worked out any kind of compromise?" asked Luke. ‘‘Not yet.” replied supervisor Gilkey. representative from Chester Gap. “Do you have any suggestions?” Luke asked Mrs. Sealock. She replied that resident highway engineer Don Askew had told her that the department has other land in Chester Gap also suitable for a dumpster location. “I can sympathize with you but it s the same problem we have all over the county with dumpsters and a landfill. They're going to be across from or next door to somebody no matter where they’re placed.” Luke replied. After an executive meeting which lasted approximately 45 minutes, the supervisors returned to open session and voted unanimously to (1) authorize commonwealth attorney Douglas Baumgardner to get professional help in drafting proposed amendments to the county s zoning ordinance and (2) notify the board of zoning appeals that they have no objections to the BZA's granting a special use permit to George S. Cook allowing him to build an apartment over the garage on his 1.6 acre lot in Wakefield District. General District Court Ernest F.

The first youngster ever picked from Rappahannock for the special chorus, DeeDee said she was “shocked—and excited—and honored—and embarrassed” when she heard the news. An accomplished vocalist, she starred last year in the RCHS production of “Hello Dolly” and has been a featured performer in regional 4-H Performing Arts Holidays. Capital Planning Begins (Continued from Page 1) of bulk gasoline storage tanks. The school board voted unanimously on Tuesday to install a 10,000 gallon tank for regular gasoline at the bus garage, provided the supervisors allocate additional funds for the project. With the new storage tank, the board will realize a savings of approximately IV2 cents per gallon of gasoline, according to Bloomer. The extra capacity added to the existing tanks—two 1,000 gallon and one 275 gallon—will provide approximately a 30 day supply and. according to Dr. Bloomer, will alleviate delivery problems encountered in the past. The superintendent explained that difficulties were encountered last year with the current three-day storage capacity when Nish North, the school's fuel supplier, was unable to deliver gas on the days it was needed by the schools. As a result, he said, buses were forced to fill up for a day’s run with more expensive, unleaded gas after the regular tanks ran dry. In the same letter that requested the capital outlay progress report and a review of the storage tank decision, the supervisors also agreed to the school board’s proposal to include federal Title I funds in the regular school budget. Board member Robert Eastham initially made the suggestion on Title funds in the interests of having figures on school expenditures and revenue in the county budget coincide exactly with figures in the school budget. On Tuesday, the board agreed to ask county accountant Wally Cox to determine the format for showing Title I money as revenue and expenditure in the proposed school operating budget forwarded to the supervisors for ap State Graded CALF AND YEARLING SALE Tuesday, October 14,1980 Sale Time: 2:30 p.m. Cattle for this sals will be accepted Monday, October 13 Front Royal Livestock Sales, Inc.

Following an executive session with its special discipline committee, the board returned to open meeting at about 11 p.m. Mrs. Massie announced that the discipline case heard on Friday. September 26, will be referred to the board at a later date after a report from the sheriffs department. Why Bother With Discipline? A lack of respect for teachers and other adults can lead to a lack of respect for police, judges, legislators, other authority figures and even to the law itself. Children who don’t respect and discipline their bodies may give in to poor eating habits, smoking, drugs and sexual disappointment. Children who have no respect for property may take what they want as shoplifters, or break what they want as vandals. Poor discipline < habits can lead to juvenile delinquency, which in turn may lead to adult crime. All these things we want our children to avoid are reason enough to discipline them as they grow. Children who respect money and manage it wisely "ill better manage a budget and respect life’s material things. Children who respect others will find happiness in the respect of others. Children who do their homework will fee| accomplishment.
