Rappahannock News, January 29, 1981

Founded 1877 32nd YEAR, No. 2 USPS45558C 8 Pages THURSDAY, JANUARY 29,1981 Washington, Virgim^£^^;'J^he 675-3349 20' Planner Find Laws Exclusionary Dick McNear, Rappahannock resident and professional planner for neighboring Fauquier County, met with the Rappahannock planning commissioners on January 21 in the first step of the long postponed review of the county’s zoning and subdivision ordinances. Commissioner Newbill Miller noted that the supervisors had authorized engaging McNear to assist the planning commission with the ordinance revision. McNear, who sat through two long public hearings prior to a brief discussion with the commissioners, said, he thought the county’s zoning ordinance in particular needed a major reorganization. Most importantly, he True Bill Returned in Arson Case A Rappahannock grand jury, called back into special session on Wednesday, January 28 returned a true bill for arson against Robert Clarence Martin of Sperryville. Martin is charged in the burning of four bams on C. E. "Ned” Johnson Jr.’s farm in Sperryville on Halloween night, Otetober 31,1980. Witnesses called before the five-member grand jury included Michael O’Connor, special arson investigator from the Virginia State Police, Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin and C. E. Johnson Jr. History Traced What would it feel like to own five-million acres of virgin timberland? Lord Fairfax received such a grant from the King of England in the early 1700’s. A young surveyor named George Washington helped map the property and carve out huge estates between tidewater and the Blue Ridge. Part of the Fairfax Proprietary, as it was called then is now known as Rappahannock County, and many of the deeds on record today can be traced back to Lord Fairfax. The romance and history of the Fairfax Proprietary will be traced by C. E. "Ned” Johnson Jr. at a meeting sponsored by the Rappahannock Historical Society, beginning at 7:30 p.m., Friday, February 6th at the Rappahannock Library in Washington. maintained that the county “is very susceptible to loosing a legal challenge that the ordinances are exclusionary” and that “some of the regulations are not workable when applied as written.” He also found the zoning and subdivision regulations intermixed, “inter as well as intra contradictory,” poorly organized with specifics that “are confusing as to meaning in many cases.” “In some cases, the ordinances leave the county wide open for uses which they need better control over and in some cases, they are restrictive to the extent that they bear little relationship to acceptable zoning practices or reality,” McNear wrote. He concluded, however, that the present ordinances shouldn’t be scrapped, that basic concepts and general thrust are valid although much refinement, reorganization and clarification is required. “The basic concept can be made sound and much more legally supportable,” he maintained, •The planners set a special meeting for Tuesday, February 3, at 7:30 p.m. in the court house for the start of the ordinance review with McNear. In other action, the commissioners received an application for another commercial garage rezoning, the third in the past few months. Hushel and Joyce Settle are requesting that their property on Route 729 near Estes be re zoned from residential to commercial.

At a special meeting called Thursday, January 22, the Rappahannock school board announced the appointment of Robert Slade Estabrook to be the new superintendent of the county’s public schools, effective July 1, 1981. Returning to open session at the noon meeting after 45 minutes in executive session on discipline and personnel, the five member board voted unanimously to hire Estabrook for a four year term at an annual salary of S31,000. Currently director of instruction for the Wythe County Public Schools of Wytheville, Estabrook is a native of Oneonta, New York. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in English from State University of New York, a Master of Education degree in educational administration , from the University of Virginia and will receive a Doctor of Education in May from UVa. His professional experience includes English teacher. basketball and baseball coach, vice-principal, principal, director of instruction and instructor at the Wytheville Community College. He also received the DuPont Fellowship scholarship for doctoral students at UVa. i.v Estabrook, J9, is married to the former Virginia L. Murrell of Norfolk and they have one child, Diane Kathryn, age one and a half. The family attends the United Methodist Church. Water Supply Improved While Washington’s water problems are far from over, conservation efforts and greater than anticipated flow from a new town well have combined to scale down the situation from a near state of emergency to the “state of inconvenience” described by mayor Newbill Miller. Water hauled in three times per day at SI05 a load enabled the town to turn its public system back on as of January 17 after failure of Washington’s supplementary well left residents with dry faucets on January 9. To offset the expense, the town council adopted an emergency rate increase, charging users $4.45 for consumption of up to 1,500 gallons with a fee of three cents per gallon over that limit. The crisis was caused by failure of the town’s 66-foot supplementary well that provided water after primary sources for the public system, three springs on Jenkins Mountain, gave out seven months ago in face of the drought that has been strangling Virginia and much of the East Coast since last summer. Two weeks ago, a new town well was sunk on the site indicated by Front Royal dowser Donald Turner but after casings went into the ground to approximately 400 feet, the flow was estimated to be a disappointing four gallons per minute, way under the 15 gallons per minute required by the town’s increased consumption. Last week, water from the new well began to flow into the reservoir tank. In addition, mayor Miller, councilwoman Dorothy Clater, and volunteers June Jordan, Teresa Reynolds and Peter Kramer went door to door, hand-delivering letters that pleaded for conservation and asked town residents to ‘‘Think Rain!" The combination worked. According to Miller, levels in the reservoir tank have stayed above the “panic button" mark despite the stop in water deliveries last Thursday, January 22. 20,000 Gallons Leaked "We had a big scare over the weekend with one major leak on the customer’s side of the meter that lost four feet (approximately 20,000 gallons) in the reservoir,” he reported. “But it’s picked up (Continued on Page 4) Lacks Discharge Permif' Fish Hits Opposition By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappahnnnnrk N«-h« Staff V rit**r Witold Kuncewicz's proposal to allow tanning of light leathers as a use by right on industrial zoned property ran into opposition at the planning commission’s January 21 public hearing. The original amendment considered by the commissioners at Wednesday’s meeting would have permitted tanning of light leathers, defined as weighing under 25 pounds before processing. Before the vote, however, Kuncewicz agreed to changes, dropping the weight limit to 15 pounds and substituting reptile and fish skins for light leathers. In addition, the revised amendment stipulated that tanning of fish and reptile skins would be allowed in an industrial zone only if there is no adverse effect from odor, glare, smoke, dust, vibration, noise or contamination of water, air and land. But even with these conditions, the vote to recommended that the supervisors adopt the proposed amendment ended in a tie with Newbill Miller, Dave Fannon and chairman Herbert Barksdale in favor of permitting the tannery and Charles K. Estes, Allen Stokes and David Thornhill against. Fish Skins In his presentation to ‘the commissioners, Kuncewicz emphasized that he plans to work primarily with fish skins—not any type of fur bearing animal hides—on his industrially zoned property in Sperryville, the site of a former juice plant. First noting his prior experience at a tannery in England from 1948-1951, Kuncewicz said he will also be in partnership with Bill Worrell, a biochemist and recent graduate of VPI. Kuncewicz explained that he intends to take what is now, a waste product and turn it into material for manufacturing bags, wallets, shoes and other items. The fish skins, from 24 to 30 inches long, are sliced off fish fillets by skinning machines on board factory ships or at the docks. According to Kuncewicz, the machines leave practically no flesh attached, an important factor in eliminating odors of putrefying tissue generally associated with tanneries. The skins will be packed in small boxes and then brought down to minus five degrees in a blast freezer. “Then they become, for all intents and purposes, a block of ice,” Kuncewicz said. Next the boxed skins will be shipped in a refrigerated truck at zero degrees to Sperryville where they will be stored in the tannerv freezer until processed. Kuncewicz acknowledged that tanneries carry “a very bad connotation” as pollutors of air and water. For this reason, he said, he thoroughly investigated possibilities for environmental damage involved with tanning fish skins “to see if it was something we could do economically and cleanly by ourselves.” First, said Kuncewicz, he ran all the processes by a college professor who is also a leather chemist and then had Worrell review the system. "We feel fairly cocky about this thing because we’ve done our homework," he said. 3,000 Gallons Daily According to Kuncewicz, the tanning process will require 3,000 gallons of water daily. “And we will return about 3,000 gallons of drinking water to anywhere we’re directed to," he said, maintaining that all chemicals will be first removed in settling tanks and pits. After the purified water is returned to the Thornton River, Kuncewicz will have to dispose of several chemicals. He reported that he plans to spread most of 50 pounds of lime per day on his own fields, selling what he can’t use; that he will reserve 66 gallons of heavily concentrated salt solution produced per day for cattle and that the 15 pounds of chromium residue produced daily will be bagged for trash collection pick-up and (Continued on Page 3) Planners Deny Rezoning “We’tt getting the cart before the horse—building a building and then applying for a permit. We have to draw the line somewhere and it might as well be now,” said planning commissioner Charles K. Estes in opposing a request from Virginia Dodson to rezone property at Slate Mills for a commercial garage. Following last Wednesday's public hearing on Dodson’s application for rezoning a 90 foot by 200 foot parcel on Route 707 from agriculture to commercial, the planning commissioners voted unanimously to recommend to the supervisors that the request be denied. Should the rezoning be turned down, Charles Dodson earlier warned the commissioners, "I'm going to Fight if I have to get me a lawyer." He maintained that he had $100,000 invested in the garage which is already built but not yet in operation. ‘‘Did you consider the Marshall Aims To Expand Horizons In G&T Program By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Ncw» Staff Writer Laurie Marshall is working to open windows on a wider world for school children in Rappahannock’s program for the gifted and talented. Expanded from a few afternoon classes last year, the program now encompasses 121 students from first graders to high school seniors who meet with Laurie several times a week. “I’ve been overwhelmed by designing a curriculum and teaching at all these different grades,” she admitted. But despite the load, she loves her job. It shows in story after story she tells, punctuated with smiles and chuckles, of the funny, cute or clever things her young charges have come up with this week. It shows in the photographs of the kids, the anecdotes and scraps of conversation she includes in a journal she’s kept since the beginning of her involvement with the gifted and talented program. It shows in the attention she’s lavished on setting up a curriculum that responds to the interests of each individual youngster. And it’s reflected in the affection and respect the kids return to her. “She’s really neat!” is the way one tenth grader described the teacher for the new gifted and talented program. "She tries to reach us through both levels—adult and kid. She makes kids proud of what they can do. She encourages them and that makes them feel proud,” another student explained. “Her program adds a little bit of spark to an ordinary school day. It’s a place and time to hone your talents,” commented one talented youngster not known for his devotion to academics. “And the school newspaper is a great idea. It’s going to be the school’s way of expressing itself.” “She’s interested in anything you want to talk about,” a ninth grader concluded. Still Evolving Curriculum for the gifted and talented program is still in the evolutionary process with Laurie making adjustments to include more mathematics and science. “The first three months 1 spent with the kids, we explored individual projects, primarily for me to determine their individual interests," she explained. Laurie is also trying to increase community involvement with the schools, pairing up people with expertise in a particular area to kids who have interests in that same area. As a start in this mentor approach, a feature of many gifted and talented programs elsewhere, she’s working on establishing connections between a youngster interested in geology and a woman from Culpeper who conducts archeological digs in the area. “Transportation’s a big problem so nothing is finalized yet,” she added. In the meantime while she’s waiting to send students out into the community, she’s brought the community into the schools. Washington lawyer Peter Luke and Rappahannock deputy John Godlewski have spoken to the youngsters in the gifted and talented program. “John gave the kids some 'wonderful advice. He told them that the two most important things he’s learned as a policeman are to know your limits and to get help „yhen you need it.” She’s also arranged for Bruce Westfall to give sign language lessons to the elementary students. “It’s a great way to teach the alphabet and spelling and it's a good tool for making the bridge between physical and verbal expression. And it's so graceful and beautiful—on top of that, it uses both hemispheres of the brain,” Laurie explained. On the schedule for February is a “Career Day". Farmers, writers, lawyers, potters, musicians, engineers, photographers, doctors, dancers, representatives from a host of different job fields, have agreed to take part in the special program. At the elementary school, Laurie meets with 76 children in grades one through seven four days per week. Fridays, she spends at the high school with 45 more. "Basically, I'm interested in helping the kids with problem solving and being creative...Intelligence is the ability to interact and to go from the known into the unknown. The more worlds and disciplines we can give kids to interact with, the more intelligence we create,” she maintained. Generally speaking, youngsters selected for the gifted part of the program have demonstrated above average intelligence and leadership abilities. “They are kids who are able to absorb the regular classroom material quickly and who would benefit from increased intellectual stimulation." Laurie said. Students in the talented portion of the program excell in the artistic fields—drama, music and art. Personal Journals Elementary youngsters started in Laurie’s special class with their own journals, empty and waiting for poems, stories, drawings, pictures cut from magazines—any form of self-expression. “I want them to observe the world, (Continued on Page 2) zoning before you built your garage?" commissioner Dave Fannon asked. ‘‘I talked to the man over there and he told me I had to build the garage before I could get it rezoned," said Dodson, identifying the source of this advice as* zoning administrator Evan McNear. “And he told you to put the building up and then ask for a rezoning?" inquired chairman Herbert Barksdale. ‘‘Yes sir,” Dodson answered. Violates Intent Leading off opponents, Irvin Kenyon maintained that Dodson's rezoning proposal “doesn’t fit in any way, shape or form" with the intent of the county's zoning laws. Kenyon is a neighboring landowner with property only 150 feet away from Dodson’s parcel. According to its statement of purpose, Rappahannock's zoning ordinance is designed “to conserve properties and their values." Kenyon pointed out. "If this rezoning is approved, property values will decline," he said. Kenyon said he’d asked two county realtors for the effect of next-door commercial zoning on the value of his property. “They said there wasn’t any way it would go but down.” Kenyon acknowledged (Continued on Page 2) — Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson LAURIE MARSHALL works with youngsters in the gifted and talented program, widening horizons through a challenging, individualized curriculum.

Planners Oppose Rezoning (Continued from Page 1) Dodson has an investment in the garage but said the investment of neighboring land owners in their houses and lots is much higher. He also maintained that a reasonable interpretation of the statement of intent for a commercial district prohibits commercial zoning in the Slate Mills area. According to the ordinance, commercial zoning is usually associated with industries, highway businesses or major employment centers and construction areas and is nor mally incompatible with adjacent single-family residential uses of low and medium density. In addition, it states that commercial zoning “should be equated to major transportation routes or industrial areas.” All other property in the Slate Mills area is zoned agriculture. Kenyon noted. With the closing of the local grocery store there four or five years ago, there's not a single business or commercial activity being conducted in the vicinity, he said. Permit Not Specific “Do you know exactly what you're considering?” Kenyon asked the planning commissioners, noting that legal advertisement for the rezoning application did not specify size of the property involved. The application itself describes it only as a portion of a lot, 90 feet wide by 200 feet deep. Commissioner Newbill Miller agreed that the application doesn’t say where the portion sought to be re zoned begins or ends. “He has a point,” Miller added. If the rezoning is approved, Kenyon continued, the commercial designation becomes permanent. All rights of commercial property to a list of other uses in addition to garages will be conveyed with the property upon sale, he said. "It seems with any garage, there’s always an accumulation of vehicles and vehicle parts...The visual impact will not be good.” In addition, said Kenyon, entrance to the proposed garage is not far from a hill and curve, raising possible problems with the highway department over sight distance. It will also be difficult for Dodson to comply with zoning ordinance sideyard regulations which call for a commercial building to be SO feet from property zoned residential, agricultural or conservation. Finally, Kenyon maintained that approval of Dodson’s request will constitute “spot zoning” that could serve as a precedent for similar action elsewhere in the county. “Our zoning laws are adopted to protect Rappahannock County and its citizens from undesirable and unwanted development...I think the wording (of the ordinance) would rule out commercial zoning in this area,” he concluded. Richard Whalen, who lives four houses down from Dodson, noted that similar garage businesses are already operating near Slate Mills in Culpeper, Boston and Sperryville.

The Slate Mills area “is agricultural now and I’m hoping it. will stay agricultural,” Whalen said. Stuart Hawkins, property owner directly across the road from the proposed garage, said he couldn’t add much that hadn’t already been said by Kenyon. “My house is on the market and the real estate agent told me that this will really hurt the value of my property,” he reported, adding his opposition to Dodson’s request. Supporters Missing “We didn't know it would be like this,” said the applicant’s son. Elvis Dodson, after chairman Barksdale invited supporters of the rezoning application to speak. "We could have brought people up here.” In defense of the garage proposal, the younger Dodson said the business wouldn’t generate a lot of traffic. He acknowledged the justification of Kenyon’s complaints as to visual impact but maintained that neither Hawkins nor Whalen could see the garage lot from their properties. Barksdale told the Dodsons that they will have a second opportunity to bring out supporters of the rezoning application when the supervisors hold their required public hearing. "How many do you want me to bring? Twenty or thirty? I can get some big shots too,” Dodson replied. Overall Plan Before the close of Wednesday's hearing, commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner read the Virginia Supreme Courts definition of spot zoning as zoning solely to serve the private interests of one or more landowners as opposed to zoning in compliance with an overall zoning plan. “The key is ‘overall zoning plan’,'’ he' told the commissioners, listing four factors they should consider in their decision on Dodson's application: —the county’s comprehensive plan—what does it propose for the Slate Mills area? —the character of uses on surrounding property. —the actual zoning of surrounding property, including the now-closed grocery store. —the zoning ordinance’s statement of intent for commercial zones. After the close of the public hearing, the planning commissioners voted unanimously to recommend, denial of Dodson’s rezoning request to the supervisors, basing their decision on the statement of intent for a commercial zone and on the comprehnsive plans’ omission of commercial activity from future plans for the Slate Mills area.

Gifted And Talented (Continued from Page 1). synthesize what they see and communicate their ideas in those journals," she said. Kids with an interest in creative writing are producing original plays, as well, to communicate their ideas and feelings. A fifth grader has penned “Ghosts in the Orphanage," a tale of friendly spirits. “The Electric Chair" by a seventh grader is the story of a president of the United States who wants to sell the country to Russia and the young man who assasinates him and pays for the murder in the electric chair. "One of my third graders wrote ‘The Naybor'—I did teach him how to spell it right," she chuckled. "It’s the story of a prince who must slay a dragon before he can get a neighbor. It's just a wonderful story for a rural kid." Another play by a fourth grader, “The Holocaust," mixes historical figures. Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer, with the writer's fictional creations, David Israel and Moses Shapiro. A project by first graders in the gifted and talented program decorates the cafeteria wall. All the kids contributed sketches and, using the art work as a starting point, each came up with a line for a story. Laurie typed the story and the youngsters went back to the drawing board to finish detailed illustrations that they painted with water colors, attached the story line underneath and hung it in the cafeteria. Disciplines Combined Contained in one of the drawings is a math problem the kids worked on, Laurie noted. "I like to combine disciplines as much as possible,’’ she said. “For instance, when wc /ere doing paintings of the planets, one of the kids noticed that her paint brush sucked up the excess water on the picture. That gave us an opening for a lesson on capillary action and from there, we went on to how trees absorb water through root systems. Sixth graders in the program are writing an original drama about a girl who goes out for boys basketball. She makes the team only to be ridiculed by her peers until she sinks the final shot in a big game, winning both the contest and acceptance. Laurie’s students are working on both a video tape of their play and a rewritten narrative to go along with polaroid shots they’ve taken as illustrations. “Doing the same thing in different forms helps the kids to refine their ideas,’’ Laurie noted. The sixth graders are also busy on a television show, "What’s Your Gift?,” while seventh graders are pursuing an “older generation” project, interviewing senior citizens to tind out what life was like when they were teenagers. For an earlier display, students interviewed and photographed cafeteria workers, custodians, bus drivers and other school support personnel, transcribed and edited the interviews and then hung the responses with the photographs on the cafeteria bulletin board. Individual projects reflect the students' personal Interests. They range from drawings of the human skeleton, glands and organs that will be transferred onto three tee-shirts to an original magazine, U. S. Gazette, with a “terrible but true” section featuring photos of firing squads, airplane crashes and other disasters. “Those are things from today's world that our children are trying to deal with,” Laurie explained. A Few Problems Laurie is not a musician so the help she can provide youngsters with musical talent is limited. “About all I can do is give them space to practice and feedback on performing,” she acknowledged. Another drawback in the elementary school's program is the area allotted for class space. Her classes meet on the auditorium stage at the same time that youngsters in physical education are running, jumping, cheering and shouting on the other side of the curtain. “It’s hard for my kids to understand that this is a contained classroom and that they can’t peek out under the curtain,” Laurie said. She added that activities in her class can be equally as distracting to the phys ed students. These problem areas and other concerns will be addressed at a special meeting Laurie has scheduled with parents of youngsters in the elementary school’s gifted and talented program for February 3 at 7 p.m. RCHS Investigative Journal At the high school, Laurie was faced with developing a curriculum that could be covered by meeting one day a week with 45 students. "1 decided that the best way to handle it was with a project that would allow each of them to pursue their own interests,” she said. The answer was a school newspaper, an "investigative journal” now in the planning stages. Kids are already at work on their individual assignments. One young lady interested in animal medicine will write about her experiences during a day at a veterinarian's office. Another is spending time with the high school secretary, learning to operate office machines while she investigates responsibility levels and salary ranges of different types of secretarial positions for a report in the paper. Two kids who want to pursue educational careers are surveying teachers as to what they like and don’t like about their jobs. One youngster is writing about alcoholism, another about the problems of divorce —growing up in a broken home, adjusting to stepparents, maintaining a relationship with the absent parent. There will be articles on the nature of dreams, psychic ability and the county’s haunted houses, computers, the NASA space program and how to get the high school track operational. The paper will also include record, book, movie and television reviews and sports coverage. The kids themselves will solicit advertising for the paper. Laurie said, and young artists in the talented part of the program will design and illustrate the ads. Youngsters involved in drama and music will present performances that will be reviewed by the paper. “We may include an article every now and then from a student somewhere else.” Laurie said, adding that she wanted Rappahannock kids to establish correspondence with kids in gifted and talented programs in other parts of the country, particularly in cities and in the western states. Artistic Background Designing a curriculum that places sufficient emphasis on science and mathematics presents a challenge to Laurie with her background lying primarily in the arts. She received her BA in education and (Continued on Page 3) RSVP Keeps Seniors Busy Through Service The Retired Senior Volunteer Program newly underway in Rappahannock County is looking for persons 60 years and over who are willing to share their talents, experience and skills in service to others. The program offers threefold benefits: to the elderly who are given a chance to remain active and needed, to the community agencies they assist and to persons receiving services. RSVP’s client agencies include the Rappahannock County Public Schools, the welfare department, county library, health department, Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center and the mental health clinic. The welfare department needs volunteers who will visit shutins and recipients to determine if services provided by the agency are adequate. Sursum Corda wants preschool aides and substitute teachers for the non-profit day care center’s morning shift from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. RSVP’s other clients need volunteers willing to provide transportation and help with clerical and reception work.

Tanning Process Involves Suspected Carcinogen (Continued from, Page 1) disposal at the county land fill. According to Kuncewicz, the tanning process produces no offensive odor. Purification, the rotting of flesh that causes smells general!) associated with tanneries, can’t occur while the fish skins are frozen, he said, and under the steps outlined by Kuncewicz, the fish skins will go directly from freezer to treatment drum where they will be tanned as they thaw. "You’ll be able to drive by the building and not smell it at all,” he maintained. "Is there anybody who can verify that statement?” asked Wilson Woodard, adding that he’d been around tanneries before and knew they produced offensive odors. “How do we know you’re going to keep with fish hides?” asked Fred Settle, raising the possiblity that Kuncewicz may also tan fox, rabbit, and other animal hides weighing less than 25 pounds. Kuncewicz replied that conditions attached to the zoning ordinance amendment could limit the type of skins handled. More Chemical* In answer to a question from James Leake on what other chemicals will be used in the tanning process, Worrell listed lime, soda ash, ammonia chloride and formic acid—“all in very diluted quantities like 120 parts per million.” He noted that the same chemicals are already present in Rappahannock’s streams. In addition, Worrell said that about a gallon of sulphuric acid will be used daily to neutralize the water back to PH7 before it is returned to the river. Should hides from deer, fox and other fur bearing animals be processed, commissioner Dave Fannon asked, will Kuncewicz’s assurances as to the elimination of odor and pollution still aply? “It can be true...It is the same process,” Kuncewicz answered. He stated that he was completely in favor of rrAmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No. Royal Ave Front Royal.

Odor and pollution problems associated with tanneries stem from long established businesses “who haven’t woke up to the fact” that they can no longer dump effluent ladened with chemicals into rivers and sewers, Kuncewicz said. These old businesses have neither the will nor often the space to make adjustments to eliminate odor and pollution, he said. “We’re starting from scratch. We’ve budgeted a considerable amount for settling tanks and monitoring because we know we have to be clean,” Kuncewicz assured the commissioners. If all the chemicals mixed with the water in the tanning process are removed, Newbill Miller asked, why can’t the same 3,000 gallons required daily be used over and over again? Reusing the water isn’t practical, Kuncewicz said, because it would necessitate installing expensive underground storage tanks. By Permit Instead Miller raised the possibility of allowing a light tannery as a special permitted use, rather than a use allowed by right, in an industrial zone. With this approach, he said, the board of zoning appeals can attach conditions which would allay fears about the impact of the tannery on water and air quality. Miller added, however, that he wanted to avoid “running Mr. Kuncewicz around the block” with time consuming permit procedures. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner agreed that allowing tanneries as a special permitted use was "a better way to go...for the soundness of the (zoning ordinance) document we're working with.” According to Fauquier’s professional planner Dick McNear who was at Wednesday’s meeting to discuss the upcoming zoning ordinance review with the commissioners, controls in the ordinance’s Article 13 on environmental damage already apply to every zoning district in the bounty.

According to RCHS science teacher Brion Patterson, memo No. 140 from the state superintendent of public instruction dated August, 1979, lists chromium as a potentially hazardous chemical. The memo allows for the use of chromium if it is essential to science programs but stipulates that it must be used with care and stored in a safe place. The memo describes chromium as a “suspected carcinogen” and notes that its “hexavalent compounds have an irritating and corrosive effect on tissue, giving rise to ■ ulcers and dermatitous on prolonged exposure...toxic effects: pulmonary.” Peggy Clark of Flint Hill spoke in favor of Kuncewicz’s proposal, describing the tannery as “a legitimate business’ for an industrially zoned building that’s “got to be put to some good use.” Allen Stokes asked for the difference between Kuncewicz’s operation and the tannery in Luray. In Luray, large animal hides that carry a tremendous amount of flesh are processed, according to Worrell. This flesh is left to rot, he said, and it is the rotting tissue that creates the offensive odor. Kuncewicz maintained that frozen fish skins will create no smell at all. Neither will the tanned fish skins, he added. The fish scales, described by Kuncewicz as “beautiful, clean things,” are 99.9 per cent pure protein and will be sold for processing. He agreed to revising the proposed ordinance amendment to allow processing of fish and reptiles in place of light leathers and invited anyone concerned about pollutants entering the Thornton River to check the water in the tannery’s settling tanks for PH and salt content. “I don’t think PH is the issue,” countered Martin Woodard, stating his opposition to the proposed amendment arising from concern with chromium and formic acid used in tanning. Worrell replied that formic is a “very weak organic acid,” one-tenth to onetwentieth the strength of acid used in high school chemistry classes. Leake said he wasn’t opposed to allowing tanneries by right under the old juice plant’s industrial zoning but only as long as Kuncewicz “does what he says he’s going to do” and processes only non-fur bearing skins. Settle added that he wouldn t be opposed either it Kunccvrz follows through with his stated plans, particularly on avoiding chemical pollution of the Thornton River where Settle said his children play. At the close of the public hearing. Miller moved that the commissioners recommend adoption of the revised amendment to the supervisors, limiting the tannery to fish and reptile skins and providing that it causes no adverse effects from odor, glare, smoke, dust, vibration, noise or contamination of water, air and land. "I have reservations,” said Estes, after Fannon seconded the motion. “Bacteria is the major concern in a tanning operation. You Fight that with acids,” he said, noting that a food handling place is located next door to the proposed tannery and a residence within 100 feet. “It’s also sitting in the middle of a flood plain.” 1 No SWCB Permit I According to Estes, the State Water Control Board I “made it so hard on the juice ' operation that it had to shut i down.” He noted that I Kuncewicz has not yet i secured the discharge permits Foreign & American Car Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese Made Cars JACK’S Service Center 30 Ashby Street barren ton 347-; ’ See You There he must have from the SWCB before he can dump any effluent in the Thornton River. “I don’t see how they can approve this,” he said, claiming that Kuncewicz’s _ proposed tannery is “contrary to the safety and welfare of the people of Sperryville and downriver.” Thornhill pointed out that county ordinances disallow construction of a sewage system in a flood plain. “This whole thing is essentially a sewage system,” he maintained. Without SWCB approvals, the tannery can’t be put into operation. Miller noted. The SWCB permit “should come first,” Estes responded. “Why change our ordinance when he might not even be able to get a permit?” If Kuncewicz had approval from the SWCB, Miller asked if Estes would still be opposed. “Probably so but I’d rather not say at this time,” Estes answered. “Bacteria will be the least of your worries with fish skins coming in frozen and going out processed,” Worrell interjected. He explained that the odors of fish houses and docks, like the objectionable smells from tanneries, are caused by rotting flesh. Alter discussion on the possibility of recommending to the supervisors that a SWCB discharge permit be obtained before the tannery amendment is acted on, the planning commissioners voted instead on Miller’s original motion endorsing the processing of reptile and fish skins as use allowed by right in an industrial zone. With the split vote from the commissioners, the proposed amendment wil be forwarded to the supervisors with no recommendation either for or against. Attend Meeting James Fletcher Massie of Amissville and David Thornhill of Woodville attended the young farmer seminar held recently at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria- The two were invited to the seminar by the local Southern States board ol directors and stockholder committee. Along with other young farmers attending the session, Thornhill and Massie elected Thomas Lohr oi Broadway to a one-year term on the Southern States Cooperative’s Young Farmer Advisory Board as representative from this area. IN “MOTIONS TO FLY”, Andrea Klopp, left, plays herself and Maurine Day takes the role of Bob Coles. Last Minute Wood “Motions To Fly” The Last Minute Wood l Company, Rappahannock’s I dance-theater group, will 1 perform “Motions To Fly'' on February 7, 8 and 14 at 8 p.m. at the county ' elementary school. As in the past four years that the group has produced an original dance-drama, the theme of this year’s production is taken from the lives of the dancers. “Motions To Fly” is built around the death of Bob Coles, a dancer with Last Minute Wood. He was shot and killed while travelling in Mexico during the spring of 1979. In addition to the Rappahannock performances. “Motions To Fly” will be I presented at the Moving Arts Center in Warrenton on January 31 at 8 p.m. and at Newcomb Hall, University of Virginia in Charlottesville on March 1 at 8 p.m. (sponsored by the Piedmont Alliance for Safe Energy). The three lead parts are danced by different individuals at each performance, including two Daughter Born Pat and Camille Foster of Hint Hill announce the birth of a daughter, Elise Harris Foster, on January 11, 1981 in Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton.

Her job experience varies from driving the van for the nutrition program to mental health counseling in D. C.’s public high schools. She's also worked on projects for both Senior citizens and children at the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. A Rappahannock resident for the past five years—"This is my sixth winter here”—she dances with the Last Minute Wood Company, squeezing in practices and rehearsals between time devoted to writing and painting. She plans to draw heavily on the resources of skill and knowledge that she’s discovered during her five years in the county to widen the horizons of Rappahannock’s youngsters. And even though she’s going in forty different directions at once, designing a curriculum for 121 students, she’d like to expand the program even further.

MAi-WM LAND OWNERSHIP PRO AND CON n We have often stated that ownership of raw land is a great way to earn profits when you sell. However, it should be emphasized that there are other financial realities to consider before purchasing. Remember that .money is made on raw land only when you sell. During the holding time, there is no income and no cash flow. A cash outlay is required for property taxes, insurance and mortgage payments. There is no deduction for depreciation. Does this mean that we are suddenly changing our mind about profit potential of land? On the contrary, let us reemphasize that, with very few dollars invested, it is possible to make a small killing on land through the use of land options, leverage and acquisition just prior to change in land-use. And you can sell off the benefit at the lower capital gains rates on the profit. And while you are holding the property, you can deduct the amount of interest and taxes from your taxable income.

Mom, Brenda Jenkins, Sherry Kraft and Joe Slaughter (left to right) with their teacher Hose Ann Sharp tied a big yellow ribbon of construction paper around the post in front of the elementary school to celebrate the safe return of the 52 American hostages held in Iran for 444 days. This was The News... In Bygone Rappahannock Times. 5YEARSAGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE U.S. Department of Agriculture pub* lished in the January 29,1976 Rappahannock Newt the wool payment regulations for that year. The incentive price of 72 cents a pound for marketings of shorn wool and a support of 80.2 cents a pound for mohair was to continue unchanged from 1974 and 1975 levels. The Flint H31 News correspondent reported thatMrs. Hattie Lilliurd was spending the week with Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Lillard. In other Flint Hill social news, Mr. and Mrs. R.A. Baines and sons of Ben Venue were supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. W.R. Settle. “Just in Time for Groundhog Day” was heading for the ad taken out by the Flint Hill Garage. The ad offered a 1969 Plymouth for $350 and a 1963 Dodge Dart for $300. The paper also announced the open* ing of Jenkins Auction House on Gay Street in Washington. The auction house moved there from Sperryville on Saturday, February 7. Toney’s Downtown Super Market in Front Royal advertised country style sausage for 99 cents a pound; fresh beef liver for 39 cents a pound; fresh ground beef for 75 cents a pound; and mixed fryer parts for 41 cents a pound. Also in Front Royal, the Park Theatre was showing Seven Alone. 10 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS IN THE January 28th edition of the Rappahanaock Newt, it was reported that Lois Yates had won the title of “Betty Crocker Homemaker of the Year". She was scheduled to compete at the state level for further honors. Rappahannock Manufacturing Company, located near Flint HiH< announced that it would expand to construct a home for the manager and hire 80 additional employees. At that time the plant was turning out 28 to 30 thousand finished garments a day. Rappahannock members of the Virginia Education Association were seeking salaries for teachers beginning in county schools of $7,200. This was a $700 increase from their previous pay of $6,500. The News ran a photo of a building overturned at the home of Miss Phoebe Green of Amissville. The building, as well as a refrigerator inside, were toppled by high winds in the county. Mrs. J.L. Jenkins hosted a large bridge group at her home near Flint Hill. Prize winners for the evening were Mrs. Wallace Russell, Mrs. Paul Miller, Mrs. Shaefer, Mrs. Quaintance and Mrs. T.L. Eastham. 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS N THE January, 1961 edition of the Rappahannock News, it was noted that Angus calves paid off handsomely for their owners in the series of 30 feeder calf sales held the previous fall throughout Virginia. The black Angus sold for $4.65 more per head on the average than the calves of the next highest breed. The 16,337 Angus calves in the sales brought an average of $116.73 per head. Those of the next highest breed averaged $112.19 per head. Myrla Anne Updike, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Updike was n the Homemaker of Tomorrow for Rappahannock High School. She won the award by receiving the highest score in the written examination on homemaking knowledge. Miss Linda Dulin of - Chester Gap had Misses Mattie and Jessie Williams and Miss Barbara Pullen as the guests for her 12th birthday dinner. Clarence Dearing brought a strawberry into the newspaper office that was found in his garden. It had survived several snowfalls in January and freezing weather most of the month.. The editor commented: “That strawberry must be out of its mind!" was the scene of die presentation of the Baylor Bards and Rhapsody in White on January 28 of 1961. Vying for their share of the county’s entertainment dollar that Saturday night was CinderfeUa and Song Without End in Culpeper and Sons and Lovers and Lets Make Love in Front Royal. WILL HE OR WONT HE see his shadow next Tuesday? Although we will all be waiting anxiously to see whether it s cloudy or clear on Ground Hog Day, February 2, it’s unlikely that any local ground hogs will be up and about until mid-spring. January and February are the months of their deepest hibernation. Delegate’s Report By GEORGE P. BEARD Hours are getting longer and days shorter, sounds mixed up doesn’t it? Well that's exactly what’s happening with over 2,000 bills to go over, time is becoming an elusive little fellow around here. The day starts at 6:00 a.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m. Committee meetings in the morning, Session until 1:30, committee meetings in the afternoon, back in Session at 5:00 for 45 minutes and answering mail, returning calls in between. Just the way it should be to get down to work and get the job done. And what a job is being done, killing questionable legislation right in the beginning instead of at the last minute. There was a bill to change the game laws by putting them all under the Game Commission instead of leaving the code like it is, I. remember a fellow from the” Richardsville area telling me last year not to allow them to mess with the turkey season”. Naturally 1 voted against the bill for fear it might do just that at a later date. I would be a pretty sight wearing turkey feathers you know where. Another bill killed was mandating that auto liability coverage be raised from $25,000-550,000 to $50,000-5100,000. This bill would have increased our premiums and those on assigned risk would be "up the creek". I believe it would have driven more people to the uninsured risk plan at an alarming rate as some might not be able to afford the new rate. Therp were some good arguments on both sides but it failed by almost 2 to 1. Removal of the sales tax on food failed in Committee again primarily because of a fear that the shortage of revenue might endanger the already short Medicaid fund. In fact the fund is so short of funds that some benefits may be reduced in spite of the Governor’s recommendation to shift some of the surplus (l'/> million dollars) to help out until June 30, 1981. The only real surplus we had was the $64 million carried over in cash from 1980. The remaining so called surplus of over S100 million, as so erroneously written up in the Richmond news media, is not a surplus at all, but an expenditure of anticipated revenue between now and June 30, 1981. The Finance Committee is continually receiving revenue estimates but has as yet to receive an estimate of expenditures. It is tough to make a decision with that kind of information. Also killed in the Finance Committee, a bill I strongly favored, was Delegate Joannou’s bill which would have considerably reduced State Income Taxes for folks whose incomes were under $50,000. I understand he has a similar bill coming up at a later date. There are other tax relief bills coming, surely one of them will make it, I hope. Passed by the Finance Committee was a bill to reduce by six cents a gallon the tax on gasohol beginning on July 1. 1981 and expiring on July 1, 1983. It is hoped that it would encourage more production of gasohol in Virginia as the tax relief only applies to gasohol made in Virginia. If it is successful and reduces the use of gasoline in the State it will be extended. This bill has to pass the House and then the Semite before being signed by tfie Governor. I have introduced a study resolution known as HJR 324, which requests the Speaker to appoint a study committee with the Senate concurring, to conduct a series of hearings on Uranium Mining in Virginia. So many unknowns are in this new venture in our area that the air needs to be cleared. This Resolution was put in at the request of the Orange County Board of Supervisors. A bill, at the request of an Orange attorney, to clearly define how a store manager, who works on a commission, is to be taxed by the town. Due to an unclear section of the Code and the Attorney General’s opinion, this bill was needed to clear up this problem for both. Another bill requested by the Sheriff of Madison to place cats in the same category as dogs and livestock when it comes to theft. Due to a technicality this bill may not pass simply because cats are not licensed or taxed. I was requested by a ladv in Madison to increase the penalty on any person or persons engaged in promoting fights between dogs. All animal bills are Conservation Pays (Continued from Page 1) since then. People are conserving and I think we’re getting more from the new well than we originally expected,” Miller said, adding that the reservoir level was up from a low point of about three and a half feet to six feet by noon on Monday, January 26. (Six feet in the reservoir works out to about 30,000 gallons, about a third of the tank’s 100,000 gallon capacity. On an average, town consumption amounts to approximately 10,000 gallons per day. According to town treasurer Brad Fisher, however, usage doubled to near 20,000 gallons per day two months ago.) Miller said that Charlie Jenkins, councilman and supervisor of the town’s water works, has been kept busy as the weather has warmed, repairing leaks from broken pipes which weren’t detectable in below freezing temperatures. In the past week, the mayor added, Jenkins has closed two leaks in lines on the town’s side of water meters and eight or ten on the customers’ sides. “As far as we know, everything’s fixed now.” Meanwhile, efforts are continuing to find a long term answer to Washington’s water problem. Last Tuesday, Miller met in Charlottesville with a geologist from the Division of Mineral Resources. On the basis of a map examination, the geologist pinpointed five possible sites for yet another town well, all located in good water recharge areas. The mayor reported on Monday that discussions on sale are now underway with landowners of the property ranked as the best ot tne nve locations. Miller offered one final piece of good news that should convince town residents it’s in the best interests of their wallets to continue conservation efforts which have helped to make it unnecessary to haul more water. "We might be able to rescind the emergency water rates if conservation efforts continue,” he stated. Class Reunion The Rappahannock County High School graduating class of 1961 is planning its 20-year class reunion in June 1981. Would class members or anyone having the addresses of members please contact Betty Jewell, Rt. 1 Box 91, Castleton, Va. 22716 (phdne 703-987-8706) or Carolyn Butler, 8311 Chapel Lake Court, Annandale, Va. 22003 (phone 703-978-9734). tough to pass, but this one might make it. A final bill I introduced was one to allow local governments to give 7 days notice on budget hearings, as well as hearings on local tax increases. The latter now calls for a 15 day notice. This would save time and cost for our local governments and was requested by the Town of Culpeper. That’s all for now, it’s time to take my "one-a-day” pill. See you next week.

That idea was to ask everyone, that was able, in the community to give a dollar a week towards this worthy vcanse and you know most people wouldn’t even miss it, but the idea was thought of, tossed around, then forgot. Until 1980 - when the “PLEDGE SI.00 A WEEK” Campaign was started. In July it was set up and by the end of the year $1,914.00 was collected. Our goal was to get 100 people signed up, we got % names. Of course not all were able to finish the year, but ALL those dollars really helped! . . The Fire Department - Chester Gap Vol. Fire Dept., Chester Gap, VA; the 96 names - members of the community and the surrounding areas; the results • SI,914.00 that helped to keep our fire department going.

Brae* Vogel Podiatrist Foot specialist Severe Cold Weather Can Be Dangerous to your Feet! The past few weeks of severe cold weather have caused a rash of foot problems. In our office we have seen a number of people with symptoms of frost bite. Most people don t realize that the damage to the foot can happen rather quickly, especially if your circulation is already compromised to begin with. One elderly woman developed symptoms of frost bite because she was a native of Florida and the lowered temperatures in a house heated only with a wood stove in the back rooms proved Tbr her to be too cold. People who smoke, especially women, are prone to a spasm of the vessels that enter the toes in reaction to the cold and this can cause the problems. Also diabetic patient's who have some loss of feeling In their feet have been burned by keeping their feet too dose to a hot wood stove.

WhaH^o If You Can’t Pay Your Electric Bill We are concerned that some of our residential customers may not be able to meet the higher winter electric bills. If these bills are allowed to accumulate over the winter, it could create a financial burden that some customers will find impossible to handle. Also, it could mean loss of electric service. We do not want this to happen. If you can't pay your bill, get in touch with us. We'll be happy to discuss your individual situation and try to help find a solution. Here Are Some Things We Can Do — With Your Cooperation 1. Uniform Payment Plan This payment plan allows a residential customer to pay a uniform monthly payment to even out the high seasonal bills. All residential customers are eligible and there is no added cost. Once a year your account is balanced so you pay only for what you use. 2. Assistance Programs There are a number of agencies that have government or private funds to help those in need. We will gladly provide assistance to aid you in determining where to apply. 3. Installment Payments In cases where a residential customer cannot pay past due bills a mutually satisfactory payment schedule may be negotiated. We will take into account the unpaid balance, ability to pay, past payment history and other special circumstances. You will be expected to pay current bills while paying off your past due balance. 4. Third Party Notification A plan which allows a person designated by you to receive a copy of a final notice. That person is not responsible for the bill but would be aware that there is a problem. This could help people who are out of town, elderly people, or people with physical problems. We are willing to help. But you must do your part. Just call or visit the Potomac Edison office serving your location Potomac Edison Part of the Allegheny Power System

J II_II PI Jl ‘Sperryville Spuds” Frail Old Time Tunes By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Square dancers and doggers at the Washington Community Center this Saturday night will stomp their feet to music out of the past—Appalachian folk tunes, Scottish reels and Irish jigs plucked and strummed by Lyt Wood on his hammer dulcimer, Bob Treanor on the guitar and Bill Hudson playing mandolin and banjo. The trio of Rappahannock musicians hasn’t been playing together long but they make up for hours of practice that they’ve missed with comraderie and a shared love for traditional music. And they click. They have the special chemistry that sends waves of smiles and chuckles through an audience. When Wood, Treanor and Hudson pick up their instruments, they look like they’ve been playing and joking together for years. They have a grand time on stage, entertaining themselves with their music as much as they delight their listeners. “We’re not really a group,” Wood explained at a rare practice session held at his home off The Shade Road Monday evening. “We get together occasionally, almost always in public. We hardly ever practice. Basically, we’re three guys who share the same musical interests.” Now wait a minute, interrupted Bob Treanor. “We’ve got a name. We’re the Sperryvilte Spuds,” he announced with great dignity and a little bow, giving Wood an attack of the giggles. “It didn’t stick,” Hudson corrected. “Actually, we’re the Nethers Nerds,” he added, sparking a debate over whether “nerd” is spelled with an "e” or with a “u”. “That’s right—Ranger Bill and the Nethers Nerds,” Wood laughed. They’re not the nerds from Nethers but Hudson is a ranger, working for the Park Service on assignment in Shenandoah National Park for the past two years. It was on the job that he met Wood .who}«W bird watching in the park. The two struck up a conversation and it came out that Wood played the hammer dulcimer and loved old timey music. They’ve been getting together once in a while to play a tune or two ever since. “There are very few people in Rappahannock County who play our kind of music,” Wood noted. “Most of the folks here are rock ‘n’ rollers,” Treanor added, shaking his head in mock disgust. r (Obituaries Jenkins Funeral services for Walter Pierce Jenkins, 80. of Culpeper were conducted Wednesday at the Culpeper Baptist Church by the Rev. John S. Farrar and the Rev. Floyd T. Binns. Burial was in Fairview Cemetery. Mr. Jenkins died Sunday, January 25, 1981 at University of Virginia -.Hospital, Charlottesville from bums. He was retired as a distributor of the Washington Post and a farmer. His parents were the late Henry Pierce and Blanche Coates Jenkins. Survivors include his wife. Mrs. Virder Rider Jenkins; .one daughter, Mrs. J. Conrad (Doris) Taylor, and one son, Henry B. Jenkins, both of Culpeper; one foster daughter, Mrs. M. D.

Lucille Mack of Hyattsville, J Md.; three brothers, Lyle ] Jenkins of Culpeper, John W. j Jenkins of Etlan and ) Woodrow W. Jenkins of • Potomac, Md. ^ —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson DOG GONE GOOD MUSIC was the verdict from Lyt Wood’s springer spaniel Ginger as her master hammered an old Irish hornpipe into an Appalachian Mountain reel. Bob Treanor and Bill Hudson, the other two “Sperryville Spuds,” joined Wood for an impromptu practice session around the wood stove in his bedroom Monday night. Saturday Concert On Saturday, the Rappahannock traditionalists will be joined at the community center by an old time string band, the Red Rose Flyers, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Members of the band are cronies of Hudson’s, who comes originally from Durham. The park ranger spent a five-year stint in Texas as an archeologist for the state Historical Commission. “That was in between jobs as an auto mechanic and a bum musician,” Hudson joked. He picked up a liking for Texas swing “before it got real slick in the 60’s” from his house mates back in the Lone Star state and later expanded his interests to embrace Appalachian Mountain music during trips back home to Durham. When he came up to Rappahannock and settled in Beyond The • rs****sm»& anriRinBNMMM Moon,—“That’s north of Nethers—North as in straight up”—he brought his pickin’ and strummin’ buddies up to Skyland several times a year for concerts and clogging exhibitions. It was at Skyland with the Red Rose Flyers that Wood made his debut as a musician. Originally from Charlottesville, Lyt Wood has been Rappahannock’s forest warden for the past five years. Up until recently, he belonged to the ranks of music lovers rather than musicians. He made the switch in July, 1977, when he finished building his first hammer dulcimer. “I had all this music in my head. I really liked the sound of traditional, old time dance music but I knew I’d never get by on a fretted instrument. I just thought a hammer dulcimer, was something I could play.” Originally, Wood planned _ _ T _ _ — R*PP*hannnck Nrw» 1‘hnfei/S. Ulham SUSAN HARTGROVES, Program Coordinator for Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center, holds a check for $100 received during the school’s recent fundraising campaign. Local residents contributed a total of $1710 to the school. Successful Fundraising Effort Rappahannock residents responded generously to a fundraising letter that was sent out by Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center last November. Twenty-six individual donations, ranging from SS to S600 added a total of $1710 to the school’s 1981 budget. All donations to the school were tax-deductible since Sursum Corda has been classified by the IRS as a non-profit educational corporation. “We are delighted by the support Sursum Corda has received from the local community”, said Susan Hartgroves, the school’s Program Coordinator. “Day care and educational enrichment programs such as ours often receive funding through community agencies such as United Way. Since there are ftribu//'. CLORE FUNERAL HOME The Home of Thoughtful Service" PHONE 825-2361 CULPEPER CBMETERY MEMORIALS no funding sources of this nature in our rural county, private donations play an important role in allowing the school to maintain and expand its services.” Financial contributions were earmarked by the donors to support the school's general fund, the scholarship fund, or either program.

The scholarship fund enables children whose families cannot afford full tuition to attend the school. to buy a dulcimer made by a musical craftsman who formerly belonged to the Rush River Artisans Cooperative. “The guy was putting one together—it was halfway through, the first one I’d ever seen. He gave me a set of plans and talked me into building my own," Wood said. Bob Treanor is the old timer in the group as far as playing music goes. A counselor with the Rappahannock mental health clinic who lives with his wife Katheryn in Amissville, he's been playing the guitar for 17 years and was once apprenticed to a fretted dulcimer builder. His wife is also learning to play a hammer dulcimer, “which I built!” said Treanor, making a face at Wood in a pretent taunt. “I put some windows in my house. They look real nice,” joked Hudson, the only one of the three not able to add the accomplishment of musical craftsman to his talents as a musician. Since Treanor, Hudson and Wood joined forces, they’ve played at Sursum Corda's annual talent show, Skyland and the contra dancing that used to be held every other weekend at the Sperryville fire hall. The dancing has now moved to Washington’s community center due to a conflict with the fire department's turkey shoots. “It was hard to hear the music over the guns,” Wood noted. “We lost a guitar player," joked Hudson.

Heart Drive Begins Volunteers will start ringing door bells for the 1981 Heart Fund on and after February 1, according to Mrs. Q. Earl Yancy of i Amissville, chairman for \ Rappahannock County for this year. Since heart disease affects \ so many families, everyone is ( urged to give generously to ; help defeat this killer. Of the 64 deaths in Rappahannock County last year, 32 (50 per cent) were caused by heart disease. No one is too young or too old to be stricken by some form of the problem. One of the most prevalent forms of the disease is hypertension, or high blood pressure, and it is estimated that 500,000 Virginia people suffer with this condition. It has no symptoms, no favorite age group, but for some unknown reason strikes black people more often than white, black women more LEGAt NOTICES .■.

In recent years state game wardens have received intensive training in undercover operations and have developed improved intelligence gathering techniques. Using these modern investigative techniques, undercover wardens found thriving markets handling a wide variety of illegal game in several areas. The illegal operations involved the sale and transportation of deer within Virginia and the illegal sale and transportation of deer, bear, rabbits, ducks and geese across state lines. Undercover officers also observed squirrels, pheasants, muskrats and raccoons either illegally offered for sale or sought after for purchase by illicent merchants of wild game. When, during the course of the three month long investigation, it became apparent that wildlife was being transported across state lines for sale in violation of the Lacey Act, agents of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service were invited to participate in the investigation. The operation involved a number of Virginia undercover game wardens engaged in hazardous undercover work, working in remote areas, in cities, at night, frequently in potentially dangerous situations. In addition to the wildlife violations uncovered, at least one charge of illegal possession of narcotics resulted from this investigation. Undercover intelligence gathering activities and investigations are regularly conducted by undercover game wardens of the Virginia Game Commission, operating statewide. These illegal commercial operations were discovered as a result of such intelligence gathering activities by undercover wardens operating in Northern Virginia, which led to the arrest of large scale buyers and supplier* of game species that were being sold through a number of retail market outlets. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson IT’S HARD TO KEEP STILL when Bob Treanor (left) and Bill Hudson start frailing their old time string music. The country dance tunes they play with forester Lyt Wood joining in on his dulcimer set fingers snappin’ and toes tapping. The trio will perform with the Red Rose Flyers at Washington’s community center on Saturday night. Frailing in Sperryville (Continued from Page 6) “And you can only play the 1812 Overture so many times,” added Treanor, not to be outdone. Treanor, with his 17 years of musical experience, is the most versatile of the group. He’s adjusted his style for the traditional type of music they play, using a finger pick for the first time four months ago. “These guys play so fast and so loud. I was wearing out my fingertips.” he exolained. + ++ + Prevention is the daughter of intelligence. — Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson QUALITY WORKMANSHIP—Proud students in Jim Dennis’ building trades class at RCHS pose with the shed they finished recently as an assignment. “You can’t get the same thing at Sears for anywhere near the same price,” said Dennis. For sale at $450, the cost of materials, the shed is six feet wide, eight feet long and eight fee high, and is constructed so by removing some bolts, the sections come apart for easy moving. According to Dennis, the building trades class will construct additional sheds on order, charging only the cost of materials.

Lyne, Realtor Rt. 1, Box 465 Washington, Va. 703/987-8588 987-8171 "It’s old style, not bluegrass,” Hudson explained. “Claw hammer style and frailing where you down pick with the back of your thumb and finger,” he said, describing his own manner of playing. Treanor’s style, he joked, is “fraggeling.” Their music brings to mind scenes of British "limies” dancing a sailor’s hornpipe on the deck of one of His Majesty's sailing vessels. At Monday’s practice, they ripped into Sailor’s Joy, “otherwise known as the enlisted man at payday,’’ Wood joked, and then did “Swinging On A Gate,” an old Irish tune that began as a hornpipe and has been smoothed out into a reel over the centuries. “They’re all reels,” Wood explained. “They start off slow and bouncy and then get faster and smoother.” “Most of our Southern Appalachian dance tunes have their origins in Scottish and Irish dance music tunes. There’s a lot of old bag pipe music that’s been changed around a bit and Americanized into reels and jigs,” Hudson added. The three can agree on how their kind of music evolved and how to play it but as to a definition on just what kind of music it is, they’re at a loss. “Old time,” “traditional,” “country string,” — whatever the terminology it doesn’t matter. It’s hard and fast, lending itself perfectly to toe tapping, hand clapping, clogging and country dancing. It’s a link from the past that Treanor, Wood and Hudson want to keep alive. Rappahannock's forester acknowledged that he was shaking in his boots with nervousness the first time he joined that old time string band at Skyland. “But I was so glad to finally find somebody else who played the kind of tunes I did," he added. “I thought I was in heaven."
