A large woman with a big smile and an even bigger heart, Rachel Aylor moves around quietly on the county’s backstage, lending a hand where ever she’s needed. Black or white, rich or poor, anyone who needs ;;^ielp has only to ask Rachel. With everything she does, there’s little chance she’ll rust away and she gives no sign of wearing out. “I just do things. I don’t think atout them. If I do something for somebody else, maybe when I’m old, somebody will give me some help if I need it,” Rachel said. She offers assistance without trumpets, funfare or flourishes. It’s others, not Rachel herself, who talk about the many kindnesses she’s shown friends and strangers in their times of trouble. Grandparents who need rides to the doctor in Front Royal can always count on her. Mothers with houses full of sick children discover that covered dish dinners , magically appear on the table once Rachel hears that everyone’s taken to bed. An elderly cousin who can’t live alone after breaking a hip calls on Rachel to find him a ' fioffflr HO lie can leave the hospital. She gives spiritual comfort and practical aid to families struck by the loss of a loved one. On the way to the hospital recently to visit a patient, her son asked Rachel, “Mama, how in the world do you get mixed up with so many people?” She answered that she didn’t know—it was just something that happened. It’s something that’s been happening to Rachel Aylor for a long time. Born and reared in Flint Hill, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. * James W. Alsberry, Rachel grew up helping with cooking and cleaning at their home place on the Ben Venue Road. When she spent time away from home, she kept right on helping—pitching in to weed a garden, clean house or watch kids. “My mother said it was something I was born with. I’ve always loved doing for others as far back as I can remember,” Rachel said. Another love that goes back to Rachel’s childhood is the church. As a youngster, she joined Macedonia Baptist Church in Flint Hill where she still sings in the senior choir. Her involvement has spread to embrace her husband Russell’s church. Hopewejll Baptist, in Sperryville and Promised Land Baptist in Washington where the Aylor family now lives. She’s vice-president of Hopewell’s Missionary Circle, an organization that provides food and financial help to the needy, president of the Pastor’s Aid Society and secretary of the senior choir. She sings with Promised Land’s choir as well and is vice-president of the Usher Board there. She’s also a member of the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association’s choir and usher association. It’s evident that Rachel doesn't just stop at her church—wherever she can be of help, she’s there. “My pastor calls me the late Rachel Aylor,” she admitted with a broad smile. “I have too many irons in the fire. Church starts at 11 a.m. and often, I don’t get there until 12. 1 just lose track of the time.” In addition to all that Rachel herself accomplishes, she’s also responsible for persuading others to give of their time and energies. “I was told that I sure know how to pull people s legs to get them to do something but 1 don’t pull anyone’s leg. It's all in the way you approach people that gets things done." And Rachel knows the right approach. For years, the Rappahannock unit of the American Cancer Society has been trying to involve the black community in its prevention programs but attendance has been practically nonexistent at clinics on skin cancer, oral cancer and self-examination for breast cancer. All it took was one call to Rachel, according to Cancer Society President Helen Snead. Working through her connections with the churches, she convinced black women that they owed it to themselves to learn more about this dreaded killer. The result is an ongoing series of educational programs designed to increase awareness of cancer's warning signs so that medical attention can be secured in time to improve chances for a cure. “There’s no one else who could have done it but Rachel. I've never known such a hustler. She’s a real worker. But she doesn’t want any credit. She kept emphasizing that she didn’t want to take over that she just wanted me to tell her what she should do,” said Helen Snead. But it was Rachel Aylor who dictated the letter that went out to all the black churches, Rachel Aylor who persuaded her friends and acquaintances to (Continued on Page 6) Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

The house was owned by Robert Walter of Charlottesville. The Ketchems and their three childreh were away from home visiting his mother. Mrs. Marjorie J. Ketchem in Woodstock when the tragedy occurred. The fire was first spotted from Route 211 by Mr. and Mrs. Lee Payne of Woodville who hurried to the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Baines next door and summoned fire departments. Before firemen reached the scene Lee Payne and Bob Baines managed to rescue the family’s pet dog and Mr. Baines checked the house for people possibly trapped inside. A few other items were salvaged, but by the time firemen reached the scene the fire was beyond control. The frame house was very old and was heated by wood stoves. The farm outbuildings were saved. The Ketcheros lost practically everything in the fire. Donations of furniture, household items, clothes and money will be gratefully accepted by the family. The two boys are size six and eight and the little girl wears size three clothing. Mrs. Ketchem is a size 7 or 9 and her husband wears a 16-l6'/j shirt and 34-32 pants. Small items or cash for the family may be +eft/at the Rappahannock news office Friday or Monday or Settle's Garage in Flint Hill. Pieces of furniture will be picked up by the Ketchems if reported to either of the above places. School Board And Taxes Were 1980’s Top Stories Voters demonstrated their disenchantment with the county’s educational system at the polls last year in Rappahannock’s biggest news story of 1980. By an overwhelming margin of ten to one in a special June 17 court-ordered election, the voters called for a change in the method of selecting school board members from appointment by electoral trustees to appointment by the board of supervisors. The election came after citizen pressure, rulings from the Virginia Attorney General's office and anticipation of the election outcome finally resulted in correction of two invalid appointments made by the trustees in Junes1979. At that tiffl^ fallowing an illegal execute s’essjon, the trustees anno^pc^dout did not vote as required on the appointments of Robert Eastham and Charles Eldredto the school board. Outraged citizens organized in response and collected the necessary number of signatures to have the issue of school board appointments placed on the ballot in a special election. On the heels of the order Comment On BZA Attributing the poor turnout last Wednesday a>t the court house tc the holiday rush and icy roads, circuit court judge Shore Robertson has set a second date on which he will be available to discuss appointments to the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals with local citizens. Robertson will be at the court house on the afternoon of Monday, January 12, to hear comment on appointments to the BZA from Stonewall-Hawthorne, Hampton and Piedmont Districts. Supervisors from those jurisdictions have recommended reappointment of George Muth and Charles Estes whose terms have expired and appointment of George Davis, former commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock, to the vacancy created by the resignation of Kermit Weakley. County Gets ABC Profits Rappahannock County will receive $6,056 as ts share of Alcoholic Beverage Control profits of $5,622,900 distributed to Virginia’s counties, cities and towns for the first quarter of fiscal year 1980-81. The total represents twothirds of ABC first quarter profits minus statutory adjustments and a one-third distribution to the Commonwealth's General Fund. Profits come largely from the sale of distilled spirits, cordials and wines at stateoperated ABC stores. Department profits are distributed on a per capita basis at the rate of $1.21 for the current period. In addition to the amount alloted to the county, the town of Washington will receive $228. Counties and cities also share on a per capita basis $622,735 generated from the sale of wine. Under the new litter tax which was in effect the last two months of the quarter, 22 percent of the total tax collected from the sale of wine is earmarked for distribution to counties and cities and 66 per cent goes to the State General Fund. The remained is retained by the ABC Department as operating revenue. Rappahannock County will receive $696 as its first quarter share of litter tax revenue. for the election from circuit court judge Shore Robertson, the trustees finally agreed to validate their actions—a year after the illegal appointments were made. Ignoring petitions with over 255 signatures from Wakefielff" District in support of another nominee, the trustees reappointed Eastham. (Coincidently, the controversial representative from Wakefield is the brother of one of the three trustees who made his appointment, a relationship that falls short of conflict of interest under Virginia law.) In addition, the trustees declined to reappoint Eldred, replacing him with J. Newbill Miller, former chairman of the county board of supervisors and current mayor of Washington and member of the Rappahannock planning commission. Viewed by many as an arrogant abuse of power, the trustees’ actions carried the proposed change in school board selection to a landslide victory in all six of the county’s precincts with the final tally 116 for selection by electoral trustees to 1,014 for selection by the board of supervisors. 2. TAXES—As 1980 drew to a close, the supervisors approved changes in one of life’s few certainties. In December, the board voted unanimously to eliminate personal property taxes on farm machinery,- livestock. and household items and to drop the levy on merchants capital as well if state enabling legislation permits. Lost revenue will be made up primarily through an increased tax on licensed vehicles, with the hike to bt held to no more than 30 per cent of the total raised by this year’s automotive tax, and the remainder coming from higher real estate taxes. Reportedly, the increase on licensed vehicles will average approximately $15 to $20 per automobile. On another major tax issue, the supervisors agreed in late March to begin mandated reassessment of property at 100 per cent fair market value this year instead of waiting for Virginia’s 1981 deadline. The step was taken to meet the state tax office’s time limit of March 31 for scheduling assignment of state appraisers, estimated to cost one-third of a private tirm s tees. Jne state service will not be available at all after this year unless the General Assembly should decree otherwise. To date Jerry Hall, department of taxation appraiser at work here, has finished assessing property in all districts except Hampton and the town of Washington. The Commissioner of Revenue’s office estimates the entire county will be completed by the end of January with notices of new property values to go out to landowners in early or middle February. Hall will hold hearings on his work and then a board of equalization appointed by the circuit court at the redbmmendation of the supervisors will meet to hear citizen requests for review of assessments. New land values will be reflected in 1981 tax bills. 3. PLANNING LAND USE PLANNING—1980 saw the supervisors adopt the county’s first comprehensive plan, a general land use guide drawn up by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission’s staff with direction from Rappahannock's planning commissioners. Essentially, the comprehensive plan outlines goals, objectives and implementation for controlled growth relying on large lot development as the means for preserving the county’s rural character. 1980 also saw approval of a tax related measure aimed at encouraging preservation of agricultural and forest land and the start of considerations on another. The supervisors voted unanimous approval in July for C. E. Johnson's request to form a 750-acre agricultural and forestal district, the first in the county, making the land included eligible for use value taxation.

Beard was at the court house to talk with any interested citizens on the upcoming short session of the Virginia General Assembly. Beard Sees Redistricting, Budget As Key Issues By IMI’HNK HITCHIINSOIN Haiipahunmx'k >«•„• suff % Hlrr According to Delegate George Beard, redistricting and the ‘mini-budget” will be the top issues in the upcoming short session of Virginia’s General Assembly w^iich gets under way January 14. Estimating the state’s budget surplus at S180 million. Beard said the legislature is "at the crossroads on whether to give tax relief and cut back on services” or use the money to improve existing program. Beard, who represents the 25th District of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange, was at the court house in Washington on Monday to meet with local citizens. “School funds have never been adequately provided by the state," he said, indicating he wasn’t in favor of using the surplus funds to provide tax relief. Instead of per pupil payments of $1,500 as originally anticipated, the st?*e funded education last year at the level of SI,099 per student, Beard said. In the proposed mini-budget under consideration by the General Assembly, the amount has been upped to SI,169. “That’s some relief but not enough,” Beard maintained. In addition to increased payments to localities for education, proposals before the legislature call for the SI80 million siirplus to be used to "beef up” medicaid and medicare and raise salaries of state employees above the seven per cent increase granted last year, according to Beard. Redistricting is the other major issue to be faced by the General Assembly .in its 28 day short session r which is scheduled to end February 21. Under a Supreme Court ruling sought by Virginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman, work on redistricting can begin with preliminary census figures rather than watting for final counts, Beard said. He predictgf that several Northern 'Virginia delegates will lose their seats with the big changes coming there and in Tidewater. In State Senator Nathan Miller's 27th Senate District which includes Rappahannock, the population is 8.73 per cent over the maximum for representation. Beard noted. "That district may lose a county," he said, guessing that the logical area to cut out would be part or all of Madison County. The population for his House District is 6.15 per cent too high, according to preliminary counts. Beard said. “But I doubt if there will be any change here.” Beard expects redistricting to at least begin during the short session with preliminary census counts used as the basis for apportionment. In addition, the legislature will reconvene on the sixth Wednesday following its February 21 adjournment for a special session. “I’m sure all we’ll do is redistricting,” Beard said.

2 Rappahannock News, Washington, Va. Thursday, January 1, 1981 New Year's Customs Assure Good Luck By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Staff Writer "A pocket full of money A cellar full of beer A fat pig in your pigsty To last you all year.” -New Year’s greeting from Virginia mountains Many Virginians in the early colonies were aware of reformation practices in England and the strict rules of the New England colonists which forbade them to observe Christmas or New Year’s day with any merriment. From all accounts, the fun-loving Virginians paid no attention to Cromwell’s edicts and the spirit of the holidays was so merry throughout Virginia that even the Scotch-Irish who settled in the southwest corner of the state were unable to restrain themselves for long. In time, the Virginia colonies became known throughout the new world and even the old as the center of generous hospitality and a love for parties, dancing and strong drink. We know this was true on the great plantations where the servants were given off the full twelve days between Christmas and Epiphany, and encouraged to spend their hours in dancing and singing for the entertainment of their masters. On the tobacco plantations the Christmas season coincided with the one break in the long tobacco season—traditionally, tobacco seeds were sown under cover on New Year’s day. The crop was not completed until the warehouses closed in late fall. But even middleclass and poor Virginians found a lot to celebrate around Christmas time. In the mountains, those who grew apples, peaches or corn had also completed their harvest and had some free time before their work began again in earnest. Some visitors to Virginia were scandalized at the goings-on during the Christmas season. Rev. David McClure, a Presbyterian minister, wrote in his journal after a trip through Virginia during the holidays: “Rode seven miles to Mr. Steven New England Contra and English ( Country Square Dance Saturday, i January 3, at 8 p.m. Indoors at the ' Washington Community Center.

In —Don’t remove your Christmas tree before January 2 or bad luck will be yours for a whole year. —Rappahannock News Photo/S. Latham A FAT PIG IN THE PIGSTY to last you all the year. ” is the last line of a Virginia mountain New Year’s wish. Pigs also figure prominently in New Year’s cuisine, providing the ham or hog jowls for New Year’s dinner. Christmas and New Year holidays are seasons of wild mirth and disorder here.” (1773) i Although Virginians from the earliest time celebrated the full twelve days of Christmas, New Year’s day (for years was the day for the exchange of gifts. Some of the food traditionally associated with New Year’s is thought to have been introduced by the slaves. All through the South, black-eyed peas at still cooked, with hog jowls or ham and served New Year’s day for good luck. Farther South, the peas are mixed with rice to make a dish called Hopping John. This is served with hot pepper sauce, boiled okra and baked yams. In the isolated mountain communities of Virginia the jowls were served, but with ‘‘leather britches”—the green beans except that pea and bean dishes are traditional in Europe during the Christinas season and associated with a year-end fertility rite in Africa. Some of the customs that Virginians in this area observed were associated with ancient pagan rituals as well as the Christian tradition. The ancient counting song, “The , Twelve Days of Christinas” wa^ found in the Appalachian Mountains years ago, long after it had been forgotten in England and in other parts of this country. Although using a Christmas theme, the song is a throwback to pagan times when counting songs were used to work magic. In the mountains, it was sung by adults to children, to help teach them their numbers. A game of forfeit was played along with it. Poinsettia Needs Dark To Rebloom Poinsettias ate a very hardy plant and will continue to grow indoors throughout ' the year. To have the plant bloom again next Christmas, however, specific steps must be followed. After the bracts, which are the colored structure often called the flowers, and leaves have fallen off, start drying the plant. Store dried-off plants in a cool (SO degrees Fahrenheit) dry, light place until May. Water lightly, just enough to keep the root and stems from drying out excessively. In May, prune the stems to J about six inches, start watering, fertilize, and place outdoors in June. Keep the ' tips pinched off until early September. Then, bring it into the house, place in a l sunny window and keep watered and fertilized. J A poinsettia responds to ^ day length and is known as a „ short day plant. Be sure it gets no light from sundown to sun up. Even very short periods of light at night may be enough to prevent or interfere with flowering. If the plant is to be grown in a room that is lighted nightly, cover it at dusk with a heavy paper bag. a piece of opaque black cloth, or other light-tight cover* or put it in a dark closet. Remove covering from the plant or the plant from the closet at about 8 a.m. The poinsettia requires 14 hours of complete darkness from Oct. 10 until color shows which is usually around Thanksgiving. Then the plant can be kept in the room during the evening to be enjoyed as part of the holiday decorations. District Court Shelby G.

Ala® Poe, who grew up in Amissville, remembers that his mother believed this. Women tried not to wash or scrub floors, for fear that they’d spend a year doing this kind of work. Many women, however, tried to cook especially good meals so that good meals would be served throughout the New Year. —A great deal of significance was attached to the first visitor to appear on New Year’s day. This was a superstition widely practiced locally. The worst luck was to have a woman as your first visitor. Poe remembers that women were to stay at home in Order to prevent this misfortune. Ruby Jenkins Washington said that she remembered that a woman visitor was considered a terrible sign. It was all right, she said, to have women visit after the first visitor had come. This was no doubt an English custom and Mrs. Fred Welty, who was raised in Derbyshire, England, said that she observed a very practical tradition to prevent this bad luck. As soon as the clock struck midnight a dark-haired man in the party was sent out and came back in the door as the first visitor. This man always carried a piece of coal for further good luck, Mrs. Welty said. —In other communities the women stayed at home while the men made the rounds of all their friends to sample eggnog and punch. This visitatiop was considered a serious obligation for bachelors especially, and the unmarried young man who slighted any of his friends committed a terrible social error. This duty was considered so important in Baltimore that buggy drivers patroled the streets on New Year’s day to help the valiant young men, who had long since lost their ability to drive, make it to every house on their list for a New Year’s drink. —In some places in the Virginia mountains, families opened all the doors and windows in the house on New Year’s eve at midnight, regardless of the weather. They recited a little verse before doing so: "Open the west door And let the old year go. Sing reign of fair maid With gold upon her chin.

During periods of inflation, real estate’s value has increased at a faster pace than the gen.eral price rise. By the same token, in times of depression real estate has maintained a higher value than most assets as declining prices set in. Recently, the FHA completed a survey that revealed what real estate investors have known for a long time: land values are constantly rising and have been for many years. The figures released by FHA showed that, in the 20year period studied, the average price of raw land increased 40 times its original costs. , INVESTMENT When we combine the growth forces of real estate with the advantages of leverage (using large amounts of other peopje’s money) and then add the incomparable tax benefits - we can readily understand why more millionaires are made in real estate than in any other endeavor.

The supervisors also indicated support for a countywide land use taxation ordinance which would make all qualifying property eligible for use value treatment. Asked by the board to review the issue, the Rappahannock planning commissioners recommended adoption of a use value taxation ordinance that includes all four categories of land swallowed by the state—agricultural, horticultural, forestal and open space. Formal adoption of land use must await public hearings by both the planning commission and the supervisors. This preferential tax alternative was suggested last year by experts in the state department of taxation as a means of combating the antipated shift in tax burden after the county’s. 100 percent reassessment from equal sharing between houses and land to primarily land. 4. SCHOOL EX PANSION—The school board talked and talked about capital outlay during year, the only concrete progress was a recommendation from superintendent William Bloomer : tor -tty two - ' classrooms at Rappahannock County High School. The current board has balked at setting a timetable for expansion projects and will continue into early 1981 its discussions on curriculum, a step the board members feel must preceed any decision on what additional space, if any, will be built. At the same meeting at which the superintendent announced his recommendation for the construction of five new classrooms, the board announced its decision to advertize a vacancy for superintendent of schools as of July 1, 1981, the date Bloomer's current four-year contract expires. 5. JUDGES—Three new CAMPGROUND—A second round in what appears will be a lengthy court battle began in December over approvals granted by the county zoning administrator and board of zoning appeals for the NtVwtwiie Pewtae.MttllEvangelisttc Association's campground off Route 729 at Aaron Mountain. The first round in the legal contest ended with circuit court judge Shore Robertson’s ruling that he could not issue an injunction to stop the NPEA annual camp meeting from being held on the property for two weeks last summer. At issue in the controversy is the validity of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance which did not allow any uses by right in a residential subdivision, the category of the NPEA’s property, until amendments were passed this summer. 8. SPERRYVILLE SEWER SYSTEM—In 1980 malfunctioning septic fields in Sperryville continued to town hall. 10. EPIDEMICS—If the top news story of 1980 was judged on the basis of what people---w«re-- talking- aboutand how many county'homes were affected, the influenza epidemic that closed coiinty schools a week early for ,s Christmas vacation would be the hands down winner. Hardly a family in Rappahannock escaped a bout with the bug which sent half the youngsters in public schools here to bed with aches, pains and nausea. In October, the county made nationwide news with a measles epidemic that began at a private school in Huntly. An intensive innoculation campaign the previous year coupled with immunization clinics set up at the first outbreak of the disease prevented the measles from spreading to the county’s public schools. Holiday Hop A Big Success With the help of volunteers, the Rappahannock - Rapidan Mental Retardation Services held a “holiday hop” for teenagers and adults on Friday, December 19, the Lord Culpeper Building in Culpeper. A jolly Santa was on hand to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and guests played bingo and enjoyed refreshments until Paul Fishen and his band arrived. Once the music started, the dance floor quickly Tilled as Fishen strummed and plucked traditional and footstomping bluegrass tunes as well as requests for such favorites as "Rocky Top” and “Salty Dog.” The evening ended in a holiday mood with a Chri? tmas carol sing along. Anyone interested in learning more about the cosponsoring volunteer organization. Concerned Citizens for the Retarded, and. how events like the holiday dance can continue to happen in Rappahannock, Culpeper and Orange Counties is urged to attend the January 19 meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the Community Services Board offices. Lord Culpeper Building, on Main Street in Culpeper. For further information, call Addic*01sen at 672-1717 or 825-4343. F]SCHEN and hU band played bluegrass and country tunes at a special Services #P°n90red by the RaPPahannock-Rapidan Mental Retardation faces looked down from the bench in Washington’s court room in 1980. Warrenton attorney W. Shore Robertson replaced 20th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead “who served for 27 years and John Alexander, former Senator to Virginia’s Generaly Assembly, replaced William W. Carson in General District Court. A heated caucus battle drawn along party lines preceeded the appointment of A. Burke Hertz of Flint Hill who took over juvenile and domestic relations court from William F. Moffett. Hertz’s appointment kept a district judgeship in Rappahannock which had previously been represented on both circuit and J and D benches. 6. ARSON — Four Sperryville barns burned to the ground on Halloween Eve in fires ruled to be arson. The wanted distruction of property galvanized local government, organizations, businesses beginning a reward fund that now totals over $10,000. To date, there have been no arrests although the investigation by state police arson investigators working with the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department is continuing. 7. PENTACOSTAL drain raw sewage into the Thornton River, ranked as one of Virginia’s major health hazards. Cost estimates on a lagoon-type treatment facility with 95 per cent state and federal funding came in last July at S2.3 million, way over the $850,000 originally anticipated for the project. Faced with a shortfall of over $1 million, the county’s Water and Sewer Authority has gone back to the drawing boards with a $7,870 grant received from the Environmental Protection Agency last week to come up with a cheaper design alternative. Construction is now expected to begin in late spring of 1981. 9. NEW WASHINGTON TOWN HALL—The county’s only incorporated town entered the land trading business in 1980 and swapped the old fire department building, which served as the town hall, for the Methodist Church on Gay Street. Reportedly, the white frame building is worth considerably more than the fire hall, partially because it can be connected to a septic field on the next-door lot already owned by the town. Both the ladies auxiliary’s thrift shop and the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s alarm siren will be housed in the new Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Thank Y ou % To the editor: On Monday, December 29, I went to Mountain Magic Cinema to see Mary Poppins. I would like to thank the Lions Club of Rappahannock for such a nice Christmas present. My brother, Michael, and I enjoyed h a hole jot, MyJMqro J>3td she. liked it too." Thank yuu.i Lions! MATTHEW OWINGS Sperryville More Thanks ^jhe editor: f Although 1 voiced the fear last week that I might have 'forgotten to express thanks to someone who augmented our pre-Christmas efforts I didn’t realize that "someone” was a host of lenders or givers: those who loaned strings of lights for the community tree and gave candles for the lanterns which are a charming decoration of Washington's streets. Also I failed to acknowledge Freeman Allan’s thoughtfulness in holding the picture time at Mountain Magic Cinema and Theatre until 8:30 so as to allow time for the completion of our program on a night that was chosen to avoid conflict with numerous other activities before Christmas. One final sentence, which is a request: will anyone who got pictures in color of the Nativity scene.in the..Town , Hall that Friday evening (showing the stable and the participants in the story) and would lend negatives for us to have printed please get in touch with me somehow? My phone is 675-3283. Our scrapbook is sadly blank for that occasion. • WALDRON O’CONNOR On Dean’s List Tabulations for the fall quarter of 1980 at Germanna Community College show that Nina M. Beck and Ruth Noce of Rappahannock have been named to the dean's list. Any full time student who achieves a grade point average of 3.20 for a quarter is eligible fprffl&dean's list. TEENAGE AND AE>ULT GUESTS visited with Santa at the “Holiday Hop” recently sponsored in Culpeper by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Mental Retardation Services. The Little Fox Birds Are Counted Cold weather did not discourage fifty-one members of the Northern Shenandoah Audubon Society from doing their annual Christmas Bird Census. One hundred and one species of birds were found in a fifteen mile diameter circle centered around Double Tollgate. This is the second highest number of species ever recorded in the area. The two groups canoeing the Shenandoah River had to break ice with their canoes in order to get to open spots to see ducks. One group had to portage the "canoe 1.5 mtles because the ice was too thick to break. There were, however, over 1,000 Mallard ducks and 186 Black ducks recorded. There were also over 30 Wood ducks found even though normally very few winter here. The real rarities for the count included a Greater Yellowlegs and a Least Sandpiper. Both of these species which normally winter father south on the coastal plain were new for the count area. Sportsmen will be disappointed to know that the census indicates quail are increasing but still in low numbers. The “killer winter" of two years ago significantly reduced the populations of quail and Carolina Wren. Both species are slowly recovering. Many people think that all of the robins leave here for the winter. In fact, the 146 robins found on the count J^eemed to be shivering less than the birders! Two statistics which might make people happy are the great increase in Bluebirds and the big decrease in starlings. Bluebirds numbered 272 strong while there were “only 264,329” starlings, according to a Society spokesman. Normally they record over three quarters of a million starlings, he said. The local next box program for Bluebirds has probably helped them raise more young as well as the nest boxes put up in barns for the mouse-eating bam owl. The owl count was the highest number the group has ever recorded for this species. »j Ag CourseiNOffered jft Lord Fairfax lias scheduled several courses of special interest to area fulltime or part-time livestock producers for the upcoming Winter Quarter.

Plant Trees Forester-Planner William C. Vemam with the Virginia Division of Forestry reports that proper use of trees and shrubs can help reduce energy costs for winter heating and summer cooling. Large deciduous trees should be planted on southern, southwestern and western sides of buildings where they will block summer sunlight but allow full penetration of winter’s warming sunlight. Trees should be planted approximately 1S feet apart and 15 feet from buildings. Studies show that an 8 degree difference between shaded and unshaded walls in summer is equal to a 30 percent increase in insulation. Evergreen trees, preferably in two or more rows, should be planted on the northwestern and northern sides of buildings to block winter winds. Windbreak plantings offer the greatest protection at distances of 5 to 7 times the windbreak height on the leeward side. However, where space is limited, smaller evergreen trees and shrubs planted closer to or up against a building can also provide protection and cause energy savings. Mr. Vernam pointed out that groups of shrubs and trees should be planted in such a manner as to allow for the natural downhill flow of cooler air, promoting more circulation in summer and avoiding cold air pockets near the building in winter. Plantings may also be used to deflect air from exhaust vents and air conditioners out of activity areas. Plant deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs on eastern, southern and western sides of outdoor air conditioning condensers. The hotter the condenser gets, the harder it has to work. As much as a 3 percent saving in &e system’s efficiency may be achieved by shading the condenser. Proper use of vegetation, trees and shrubs, can help reuuce energy needs and costs. i nur9day, January 1, 1VK1 News From The Washington Area auu mry noy Aitner ana family in Sperryville.

Happy New Yearly Foot Facts by Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot specialist MY CHILD LOOKS PIGEON TOED Some young children walk with their feet crossing towards the inside as they walk There are several causes, but the most common is an actual delay in the growth of the bones of the leg As the lower leg bone (tibia) grows, it also has some twisting motion If this twisting motion is not synchronized well with the lower part of the leg, the toot can turn inwards. Most pediatricians will be correct when they say that it will correct itself However, what usually happens is that the child either has a correction of the twisting motion, or he can have his arch flatten out which makes it appear that his feet are functioning in a straight fashion If the arch flattens, this can lead to problems in the future, for the foot is not functioning correctly The child may later complain that his legs hurt or in later life he will develop corns, callouses, bunions, etc. If you are not sure about your child's feet, have them examined. They are the only pair he will ever have. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment from the office of Dr. B. Vogel, 85 Garret St., 347-9393.

News From Around Sperryville By MRS. B. M. VARNER Rappofcanaock New* Correspondent Mrs. Brown Miller spent the holidays with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Murphy, Mike and Mark in Winston-Salem, N. C. where they were joined by Jim Miller of Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Ruth Perkins spent the holidays with her son-inlaw and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Dawson Nail and family in Falls Church. They were joined by Cindy and Douglas Cummins. Christmas Day dinner guests of Mrs. Catherine Brown were Mr. and Mrs. Strother Brown, John and Tom of Jackson Heights, N. Y., Mr. and Mrs. Charles Overhulser of Alexandria, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Payne of Falls Church, Mr. and Mrs. Benny Brown and Benji of Winchester, Dr. and Mrs. Larry Kushner of Bethesda, Mr. and Mrs. Julian Brown, Paul and Jason and Clyde Atkins. Mrs. Virginia Lewis with Mr. and Mrs. Bob Lewis of Huntly were guests Christmas Day of Mr. and Mrs. Fielding Lewis and dinner guests Friday of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Mathews in Front Royal. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Beard Ready For Session (Continued from Page 1) deadline for submitting legislation, over 1,000 bills have already been pre-filed, according to Beard. He reported that he plans to submit only one bill requested by the Culpeper town council to clear up ambiguity in the Virginia Code on notice required for budget hearings. One code section stipulates seven days and another 14 days. Beard’s bill will set the notice requirement for budget hearings at seven days. Despite a continued decline in gasoline revenues, which fund road construction and maintenance, Beard does not anticipate that the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation will be back before the General Assembly this year asking for money. “They’re through. Mr. King (highway department commissioner Harold King) is trying to reduce his employees by attrition. It if doesn’t move fast enough, he’ll have to lay off tome people to keep within his budget,” Beard said. Beard also discounted rumors that this Assembly will remove the sales tax on food. He attributed delegate support for the measure to inflated estimates on the state’s budget surplus and predicted the issue won’t even come up on the floor in the short session. As a member ot the house subcommittee on wastewater treatment and disposal systems, Beard will consider an amendment to health department regulations which would allow alternative sewage treatment systems. According to Rappahannock's delegate, the latest criteria currently in a draft form dated November, 1980, already for the first time permit (1) a pressure septic system that will force sewage into the ground through perforated pipe and (2) a septic field built up in layers on top of the ground as alternatives to privies and septic tank and subsurface soil absorbtion. He reported MOODYj Funeral Service Inc. ft* 29 N Calpeper, VA Ceramic ft Prestige Rental Downtown Warrenton, at comer of Culpeper and Lee Streets. Formerly housed ABC Store. 2500 square feet on one level. Rent as-is, or owner will remodel. Attractive facade treatment planned. For more information, contact John Toler at 703*347-4222. that the sub-committee’s chairman Glenn McGanan proposes to add another sentence to the draft regulations which would permit “any other mechanical system’’ for use in sewage treatment “on land that doesn’t perk.” After the wording on McClanan’s amendment is worked out, Beard said, the draft of the new regulations will be basically complete and ready for final health department approval before implementation in August, 1981. In the politicing for next year’s elections that should heat up this year’s Assembly session, Beard sees State Senator Nathan Miller as beating out Guy Farley as the Republican candidate for Lt. Governor. Party loyalty not withstanding, Republican Beard predicted that Marshall Coleman will win the governship over Chuck Robb. Asked if he planned on running again in 1981, Beard replied “as far as I know, l will.” In the last month. Beard has met with boards of supervisors in Madison, Orange and Culpeper counties to hear the concerns of local government. Will he come to Rappahannock? “If I’m invited, I’ll come anytime they want me. But I don’t want them to think I’m butting in. That’s why I don’t come unless I’ve been asked,” he said. “I’ve been invited everywhere else. Beard will leave for Richmond on January 13 to set up his office before the session gets under way. He’ll take with him 30 to 40 requests from citizens and local officials to look into proposed legislation. From Rappahannock, for instance, he’s been asked by Commissioner of Revenue Merle Scoggin to support a bill that will continue appraisal services offered by the State Department of Taxation.

Food Stamps Revised The Virginia Department of Welfare has announced that the United States Department of Agriculture is making changes in the Food Stamp Program affecting deductions and maximum coupon allotments. These changes, effective January 1, 1981, are: -the standard deduction for households will be increased from $75 to $85. -the shelter-dependent care deduction will be increased from $90 to $115. -the maximum coupon allotment will also be increased. For example, the allotment for a one preson household will increase from $63 to $70; for a four person household from $209 to $233. There will be no change in the maximum amount of income allowed per household. However, because of the increases in deductions, persons who were formerly slightly over the income level may be eligible to receive food stamps after January 1, 1981. In addition, persons who are currently eligible will most likely receive increased food stamp benefits at that time. Those persons who may be eligible after the increased deductions go into effect should contact the Rappahannock welfare agency and reapply for the program. For more information about the Food Stamp Program, or where persons can apply, coll toll-free 1 - 800-552-3431, or contact the welfare department here, 675-3200.

Clerk _ 47j1-j22 Registration registration for men born in 1962 will take place durirf^ the week of January 5th, 1981. Men born in 1963 (and later) should 'register within 30 days of their 18th birthdays. This is a continuation of the program begun last summer, whereby men born in 1960 and 1961 visited post offices across the nation to fill in the registration form. The purpose of registration is to build a pool of names and addresses from which Selective Service could draw in an emergency. According to Dr. Bernard D. Rostker. Director of the Selective Service System: “Registration directly improves our capability to respond. . . actually reducing lead time by at least four weeks. We think that provides a significant advantage, especially when matched with the very low cost of the registration effort.” The direct costs of registration are less than $2 per registrant. By way of background, one of the basic underlying assumptions of the AllVolunteer Force concept was that the country should always maintain a stand-by Selective Service, with an ongoing system of registration. When the draft was ended in 1972, registration was in fact continued until suspended in 1975. Over the next few years, the capabilities of Selective Service ociecuve service steadily declined to an unacceptable level, prompting a total revitalization which began in November 1979. This program — of which registration is a part—is designed to return the Selective Service System to the readiness level required for an emergency back-up to our peace time volunteer armed forces. Other actions underway include the development of greatly improved computer support.

8 Kappahannock News, Washington, Va. Thursday. January 1, 1981 Miller, David And Durrette Announce Eager to focus attention on their campaigns before the start of the General Assembly session Jan. 14, three men long expected to run for statewide offices in Virginia next year formally announced their candidacies within the last week. State Sen. Nathan H. Miller, R-26th, and former Portsmouth mayor Richard J. Davis, who resigned last ■ month as the state Democratic chairman, both said Monday they will vie for their parties’ nominations for lieutenant governor.-* Meanwhile, former Fairfax Del. Wyatt B. Durrette, who lost the Republican nomination for attorney general to J. Marshall Coleman in 1977 by one of the closest margins in state history, announced Friday that he will again seek the state’s third highest office. The announcements mark the beginning of formal campaigning for next November’s election for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. Former Tazewell Del. Donald Dunford, who is running for lieutenant governor, is the only other announced candidate thus far, but it is assumed that Domocratic Lt. Gov. Charles R. Robb of McLean and Coleman, the current attorney general, will square off in the gubernatorial race. Durrette is believed to be the only candidate with a serious chance of capturing the GOP nomination^ for attorney general, while Miller, a Harrisonburg lawyer, is likely to face a stiff challenge from archconservative Guy O. Farley Jr. of Warrenton for the lieutenant governor’s nomination. Though Miller, 37, describes himself in campaign literature as a ‘‘conservative," he will have . to fieht hard to wrest suonort of the party’s most conservative elements from Farley, an attorney well known for helping to place anti-abortion and anti-Equal Rights Amendment planks in this year’s national Republican Party platform. “My own experience and my career in the General Assembly have convinced me that government must rest on principles in the minds of the people... Those principles...are a belief in God, family, country, productive work, and the right of the individual to make his own decisions, right or wrong,” Miller said at a Richmond news conference. “Legislators ought not to be judged on how many laws they introduce but on their adherence to these principles.” Miller said. Among his early supporters forJ the nomination are the minority leaders in both houses of the General Assembly: Sen. William A. Truban, R-27th, of Woodstock and Del. Jerry H. Geisler, R-6th, of Hillsville, who will be statewide campaign co-chairmen. Davis, 59, also a lawyer, pledged in making his announcement that, if elected, he will seek to bring more economic growth into tne state and help the state to play a more aggressive role in the growth of business. Davis also said his experience, as mayor of Portsmouth and on the Virginia tMunicipal League Executive Committee, qualifies him to encourage cooperative ventures among regional governments and to provide better cotqmunicatjoiLS between the cotmtyrCity and town governments in the state. These governments at times face different problems and require different solutions. “My intimate knowledge of every section of this state will assist in the continuation of viable policies to aid our urban areas as well as our more rural-suburban ones,” Davis said. Durrette, 42, who served three terms in the House of Delegates representing Fairfax County, already has the support of many of the state’s top Republicans, including U. S.* Sen. John Warner, who will chair his campaign, and Del. Thomas T. Byrd of Winchester, who until recently had considered running next year for N lieutenant governor himself. TDurrette also will be assisted by Jeff Gregson, currently the party’s executive director in Richmond, who will resign that post to become the Durrette campaign manager in January. In addition, Durrette hired veteran consultant Ed DeBolt, a top political strategist in Arlington who helped the successful campaigns of Republican Gov. John N. Dalton, former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr., U. S. Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr., Warner, and, most recently, Congressmangleet Frank R. Wolf. Durrette said the Republican victory in the November presidential election gives Virginia the opportunity to improve its ofiten-shaky relations with Washington. “We can, I think, expect a new tone and a new approach from Washington in terms of, the federal government’s relations with the states, and Virginia must be ready to grasp this opportunity...for the revitalization of our federal system,” Durrette said. Among state issues, Durrette said improvement of criminal justice procedures in the state would be a major priority in his campaign, including more emphasis on crime prevention and on increasing the certainty of punishment for offenders. Slow and Easy Key To Safe Winter Driving X Winter driving doesn’t have to be a skiddish situation for motorists. Careful steering and braking can reduce driving mishaps, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation Safety (VDTS). “Traffic accidents last year cost businesses nationally $35.8 billion in wage losses, medical and hospital costs, insurance premiums and time and production losses,” said VDTS Director John T. Hanna. Driving at reduced speeds is one of the best ways to avoid dangerous skids on ice and snow, but speed reduction must be combined .with skillful handling of a vehicle to be effective. Tests show that stopping on smooth ice may take as much as nine times the normal, dry pavement distance. Drivers traveling on icy roads should begin slowing down long before < reaching an intersection, stop sign or light and follow other vehicles at a much greater distance than on dry roads. Motorists forced to make a quick stop on ice or snow should avoid locking or slamming on the brakes. Hard braking causes wheels to slide and the vehicle to skid or spin. When stopping with standard shoe and drum brakes, drivers should pump the pedal quickly to the brake holding point. Then let up quickly and repeat pumping action until the vehicle slows down. To stop on a slippery surface with disc brakes, light, constant pressure to the brake pedal just short of lock-up is recommended. Follow by an easy but slight let-up of pressure and then repeat the process. “It is extremely important that drivers do not apply sudden or hard pressure with disc brakes. Drag of the brakes will cause momentary lock-up and a skid is likely,” Hanna warned. For maximum vehicle control on slick roads keep both hands on the wheel. “If a vehicle’s rear starts to skid to one side, ease up on the accelerator and steer front wheels in the direction of the skid. Panic and a wrong turn can only take seconds unless drivers have learned the proper steering method and are familiar with handling their vehicle,” Hanna said. Before traveling, winter drivers are urged to heed the following safety measures: Remove all snow from the vehicle's windshields, lights, hood, trunk and roof. Check tires for sufficient tread and correct air pressure. Snow tires or chains should always be used in ice or snow. Be sure the vehicle is. equipped for cold weather emergencies. Keep booster cables, flares or reflectors, a small shovel, traction mats or a small bag of sand or road salt in the trunk for ice energy uptions considered A package of proposals that will establish a new direction in Virginia’s energy future cleared a major legislative hurdle last week. A unanimous vote of approval by the Virginia .Coal and Energy Commission, the Commonwealth’s primary decision making body on energy policy, speeded a series of four energy incentives and government efficiency measures toward passage in the 1981 General Assembly. The proposals would mandate action in several areas, and are widely seen to reflect the current legislative mood of restricting the reach and cost of state government. One bill directs the State Office of Planning and Budget to formulate a comprehensive energy plan for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Two others, an amendment to the Virginia Constitution, and a joint resolution, broaden the ability of local governments to initiate development of local energy resources through tax incentives, zoning and building praptices. These bills Were suggested to the Commission by the Virginia Renewable Energy Lobby (VREL), a state business and consumer coalition. Their passage still faces some difficulty. Paul Raford. VREL President and a cocoordinator of energy planning efforts in Nelson County, acknowledges this and used the 25 percent solar tax credit as an example: "The Department of Taxation still believes the credit will cost the state SIS million in revenues each year, yet experience in virtually every other state with a similar law shows it will cost less than SI million. In fact, the tax credit can generate 3500 jobs and S156 million across the state.” VREL Board member Charles Oseroff, a Charlottesville resident, agrees that the proposals will help the economy. “In addition these bills can decrease fuel costs substantially for those communities and individuals that take advantage of them.” GOOD LUCK GOOD HEALTH MUCH SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN 1981 We will be looking forward to giving you the best possible real estate service throughout the coming year. m CALL US! realtor Roger Lee Atkins Salesman 987-8171 W.

Pursuant to Section 210 of PURPA and the corresponding Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulations, each electric utility is required to sell electric energy to qualifying facilities at reasonable and nondiscriminatory rates, and to purchase available electric energy from qualifying facilities at a rate reflecting the cost that the electric utility can avoid as a result of obtaining energy from a qualifying facility (“avoided cost”).
