RCHS Expansion Compromise Ready For Architect Plans By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer It took them until 1 a.m. but the Rappahannock school board finally hammered out a proposal to send to an architect for expansion of the county high school. By majority vote with Robert Eastham opposed, the board agreed to have schematic drawings made for a c h em is t ry - ph y sics laboratory, biology laboratory, two guidance offices, a classroom for the clerk-typist program, storage facilities and handicapped restrooms, preferably through remodeling of current bathrooms at RCHS. In addition, they decided to ask for recommendations on measures to imrpove energy efficiency at both schools (should an energy audit not be available from the utility company serving the schools), conversion of the heating system at the County Has Lowest Tax Rate— Highest Unemployment In PD 9 According to the 1981 data summary released by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, Rappahannock hits Comment Solicited Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson will hear anyone interested in appointments to Rappahannock's equalization board for the new 100 percent fair market value assessment on Wednesday. March 18, at 4 p.m. in the court house. Robertson has asked the county supervisors for recommendations from each magisterial district. Nominations include Eileen Day Dwyer (Piedmont), Raymond Johnson (StonewallHawthorne), Thomas Williams (Jackson), Phyllis Irwin (Wakefield) and Edward Bailey (Hampton). both ends of the statistical scale with the lowest tax rate and the highest unemployment rate in the fivecounty area. The planning district's date summary gives the county’s 1980 effective tax rate per $100 of assessed value as 26 cents on real estate, almost half that of the second lowest levy—50 cents—charged in Orange County. By comparison, Madison's true effective tax rate for 1980 is 55 cents. Fauquier’s 58 cents and Culpeper’s 63 cents. On personal property, Rappahannock's rate of $4.40 ranks in the middle with Orange ($5.50) and Culpeper ($5) higher and Madison ($4.35) and Fauquier ($2.80) lower. As of December, 1980, Rappahannock had 5.9 per cent of its work force of 2.619 out of jobs, the highest unemployment rate in the planning district. The district-wide unemployment rate for December was 4.0 per cent, for Culpeper 4.5 per cent, for Fauquier 3.1 per cent, for Madison 4.5 per cent and for Orange 4.6 per cent. According to the data summary, the 1980 potential labor supply within a 20-mile radius was 1.480 for the town of Madison, 1,720 for the town of Washington. 1,800 for the town of Culpeper. 1.960 for the town of Orange, 2.660 for the town of Gordonsville and 3,000 for the town of Warrenton. During the past ten years, according to the planning district's statistics. the median family income in Rappahannock climbed by 114 per cent from $6,077 in 1970 to $12,999 in 1980. Culpeper families experienced the same average income jump—114 per cent—going from $7,222 to $15,446. Madison and Orange lagged behind Rappahannock with increases of 101 per cent ($6,250 to $12,585) and 102 per cent ($7,039 to $14,236) respectively. Median family income in Fauquier skyrocketed over the ten year period by 164 per cent from Postponement Of 100% Values Approved By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rapiwhannork Nrw» Staff Wrilrr By split decision at Friday’s special meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors voted to delay implementation of the county's new 100 percent fair market value assessment until 1982. That means that tax bills which go out in 1981 will reflect the old assessments of approximately 60 percent market value discounted further to 15 percent. While the assessments will County Tags Now On Sale Rappahannock County Motor Vehicle Tags are now on sale at the office of the treasurer at Washington. According to Frances Foster, treasurer, the deadline for purchasing and displaying tags is May 1. The office in Washington is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tags for cars, trucks and trailers are SIS and S8 for motorcycles. Personal property taxes must be paid and vehicles assessed for 1981 by the commissioner of ithe revenue. remain low, however, the tax rate should jump substantially. according to commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin. The supervisors decided earlier this year to discontinue the levies on household goods, farm machinery, livestock and merchants capital. In addition, they limited the amount that tax on registered vehicles could go up to an increase of 30 percent over the revenue generated this year. With a personal property tax of $1.43 per $100 of finance value, the maximum allowed by the supervisors’ decision, the 1981 tax rate on land will have to jump from $4.40 per $100 of assessed value to approximately $5.30 just to raise the same amount of money required by this year’s budget, according to Scoggin. Since it is highly unlikely that the bottom line on Rappahannock's budget will not increase in 1981, it is probable that the rate will have to climb even higher than $5.30 in order to finance local g vernment for fiscal year 1981 82. Time For Equalization Board At Friday’s special meeting, supervisor chairman E. P. Luke noted that the county had completed its reassessment at 100 percent fair market value one year before the state's deadline. Therefore, he said, the state department of taxation has ruled that implementation of the new assessment figures can be delayed until 1982. Luke proposed waiting to allow time to work out administrative details, including hearings by the equalization board which must be conducted before assessment figures are finalized and consideration of use value taxation. "I don’t think we should rush the public on equalization." agreed H. B. Wood. "It’s going to take a lot of arguing, discussing and cussing to get through this transition period.” Luke added. According to the commissioner of revenue, it will cost an additional $900 for computer services this year if the new assessment figures are not used because the computer has already been programmed with the new values. In addition to feeding the old assessment data into (Continued on l$ge 10) elementary school from oil to coal and permanent solutions to roof problems at both schools as well as preliminary plans for a solariumgreenhouse off the new biology lab. At Nancy Reeve's instigation, the board also agreed to ask an architect for suggestions on what existing space can best be adapted for a language lab and a music room. Initially, the board members’ proposals for capital outlay ranged from Mrs. Reeve’s suggestions for two science labs, music room, two offices, language lab, storage space, clerk-typist room and possible expansion of the library to Robert Eastham’s insistence that a space utilization study by an "outside expert” should be the first step of any building program. He did agree, however, that if additional room can't be freed by restructuring of current $8,106 in 1970 to $21,392 in* 1980. The big increase ini Fauquier pulled up the district's median faiqilj,. income by 121 per cent (from $6,939 to $15,332). In percentage of retail sales increase over the past five years. Rappahannock lagged behind the rest of the district with 42.2 per cent. The county's retail sales totalled $4.5 million in 1974 and $6.4 million in 1979. By comparison Fauquier sales climbed by 63.1 per cent from $56.3 million to $91.8 million; Culpeper's by 59.8 per cent from $46.6 million to $74.5 million; Madison by 52.1 per cent from $11.9 million to $18.1 million and Orange by 44.9 per cent from $30.3 million to $43.9 million. Rappahannock’s population increased by the lowest percentage in the planning district, going from 5,199 to 6,022 between 1970 and 1980, a 15.83 per cent difference. Fauquier showed the largest percentage increase in population growth. 33.71 per cent, with Orange growing by 30.35 per cent. Culpeper by 22.86 per cent and Madison by 17.47 per cent. It is interesting to note that Rappahannock County was the only jurisdiction in the planning district to experience a decline in population, minus three per cent, between 1960 and 1970. During that same period. Culpeper grew by approximately 20 per cent, Fauquier by nine per cent. Orange by six per cent and Madison by five per cent. Based on 1970-1980 growth trends, the planning district’s data summary projects that Rappahannock’s population will reach 8.079 by the year 2000. Ruritans Sponsor Dinner A spaghetti dinner sponsored by the Amissville Ruritan Club will be held this Saturday, March 14 at the Amissville fire hall from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Dinners are $3.50 for adults and $1.75 for children 12 and under, or there is a $10 family plan for 2 adults and 2 or more children 12 and under. Proceeds from the dinner will go toward the community project which are carried out by the club. schedules and classes, he would go for two laboratories and offices for the guidance counselor. "Beyond that, I see nothing in these two buildings that requires brick and mortar,” he emphasized. Apparently expressing the opinions of his fellow board members. Newbill Miller proposed that three lunch shifts be instituted before a cafeteria expansion is considered. He also attributed problems with crowded bathrooms primarily to student loitering and smoking, acknowledging that the area is “hard to police." Miller noted that without increasing the number of bathrooms and the number of students, the board would be in a better position to avoid costly improvements to the high school's sand filter sewage system. He also said that removal of guidance offices from the library should alleviate space problems there. When it became apparent from discussions that his fellow members agreed at least on the need for science labs, office and storage space and clerk-typist toom, Eastham asked if the board "has or has not...thrown out the idea of an independent program audit?" Chairman Beverly Massie replied that it appeared the board would determine space needs on its own and proceed accordingly. Voting Blind "No one has assessed the scheduling and the programing we have now," Eastham countered, maintaining that the type of expertise necessary for that job isn't available from school personnel or from board members. To proceed without this outside expert opinion would be "a fatal mistake" and "voting blind." he said. "I would love to have (an outside evaluation of space use). I just don't know where to get one," Nelson Lane responded. Mrs. Reeve borrowed one of F.astham's own analogies to explain her position, comparing the board's decision to that of a man trying to determine if he needs to expand his house. "It's the man who must look at his home—not an outsider." "Mv position has changed since wc asked the supervisors to appropriate the money for a study by a socalled professional." said Miller. He recalled that the board had three people lined (Continued on Page 2) Rouse Wins 50th Victory In Seven Corners Series By JIHVK Kl HSWl Ra|>|»ahann4K'k Vh» >|H-ciul W rili-r Despite strong and frigid north winds, almost 6,000 racing enthusiasts turned out for the Rappahannock Hunt's point-to-point Saturday at Thornton Hill Farm near Sperryville, where they saw Randolph Rouse e«tsi|y win the Ben Venue ^fcwr-ridtr timber race on Cinzano. It was his 50th victory in the Seven Corners series, which began with the 1%I running of the Ben Venue.

Then after they leaped the line fence coming down the mountain. Rouse let him take the lead, and there they stayed until the finish, coming in 25 lengths to the good of Roy Graham's Boca Bird, last year's- winner of this race and the series. Another 15 lengths back was David Moyes' Helix, while Garden Games lost his rider midway through the race. The ladies race was a spirited duel between the two leading riders, Patti Cassel, last year's winner, and Shelley O'Higgins, winner ot the 1980 series. Susan Sutula on her Too Far Gone led the way the first lap. with the four horses closely bunched. Going up the mountain the second time. Cassel on Elzy Brown’s Polyester and O’Higgins riding Seneca Valley Farm’s Amberson Place began swapping the lead, only to lose it again when Too Far Gone sneaked up the inside of the tight turn at the bottom.

An eased Too Far Gone was third, followed by Kitty Smith’s Oh Feathers, ridden by Alex "Muffin" Day in her first race over fences. Charles “Chick" Owens' Cultivating, winner last week in the owner-rider hurdle series, was again the best, as the young Maryland attorney guided his Herbager gelding to a wire-to-wire victory over Jay Barr's Pill Mill.

Next Year ‘Critical’ For Mountain Magic Theater For local followers of drama, fine films, live music and dance, the coming year is a critical one, according to Freeman Allan, manager of Mountain Magic Cinema & Theater. Located in Rappahannock’s Washington (within an easy 25 minute drive of Warrenton, Luray, Front Royal and northern Madison and Culpeper counties), the theater was reopened last year after 15 years of disuse, and has already attracted sizable audiences. “We have just one year more to determine how large and enthusiastic the support for fine local entertainment really is,” explained Allan. “The economics of theater operation require that the building be used regularly and be well attended.” “During our winter shutdown we have renovated the theater and planned a full and exciting 1981 calendar.” Allan continued. "Now it’s up to the audience. If attendance increases, we stay open. If not, the theater will close down by next February. It will probably be gutted and converted to office space.” A spring drive is underway to increase the facility’s use and bring a wide variety of visual and dramatic arts events into the area. The movie screen has been moved forward 15 feet and hinged to fold against the ceiling during stage shows. Shorter projection distance will mean a brighter picture, and a cinemascope (wide-screen) lens capability has been added, said Allan. In addition, the Rappahannock Players have added a permaneht stage to create a complete community little theater. The following are specific plans for 1981: In collaboration with WEER Radio, the theater will become monthly host to the Mountain Magic Concert Series. Rappahannock native son and internationally known blues recording artist John Jackson will lead off the 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon concerts on April 5. In May, the popular country rock sound of The OK’s Band will be heard, followed in June by a bluegrass jamboree. Advance tickets ($3) are reommended for these events. The Rappahannock Players will offer a series of one-act and full-length dramas, plus student drama apprentice programs, on the new 18 foot x 24 foot stage. The gripping, award winning short play Refugee will open Sunday, March 15, at 7:30 p.m. followed by the everpopular Peter Pan in late April, and other dramatic presentations on July 4 and in the fall.

The Friday-Saturday schedule of popular films, already a hit, will be continued. “We have Star Wars, Urban Cowboy, a Woody Allen double feature, and lots of good movies scheduled,” said Allan. “Our audience likes our friendly atmosphere and says the consistent quality of our films is better family entertainment than the usual drive-in fare." Use of the stage for the annual Rappahannock talent show, dance performances of the Last Minute Wood Company, and benefit events to be sponsored by community organizations is also planned. Advance tickets and schedules are available for all of these events. Send a stamped envelope to “Movies”, Washington, Va. 22747, to receive them. “We have lots of untapped talent right here in our backyard,” Allan pointed out, “and a large population who genuinely appreciate the dramatic arts, visual arts, and good music. We want folks to plan in advance, carpool with friends, and come on out and have fun. Mountain Magic was formed to bring the arts and this audience together. To succeed, we really need everyone’s support.” “Refugee” Presented “Refugee." an awardwinning original one-act play directed by Margo Figgins of Sperryville, will be presented by the Rappahannock Players at Mountain Magic Cinema in Washington this Sunday. March 15,' at 7:30 p.m. The hour and a half program will include also a screening of Charlie Chaplin's hilarious short comedy, "The Vagabond,” as well as a theater workshop demonstration. an opportunity for the audience to interact with both playwrights and actors.

And I think it should be done right away.” To explain her position, Mrs. Massie drew another analogy. “1 would rather plan my own trip than have a travel agent do it for me." No First Step? “If we now say that we have to have a program audit as the first step in a capital outlay program, it means we haven’t even taken a first step!" Miller added. Noting the long hours that he and other board members have spent oii capital v ■ improvements, he said he was “perfectly willing to go to the supervisors and encourage them to approve our recommendation.” Asked by Eastham if they were sure that the space at the high school is now being used to its maximum efficiency. the other board members indicated they thought it was. To Nancy Reeve's con tention that “spaces are needed to house subjects, not live bodies," Miller acknowledged that many of the rooms at RCHS are not crowded. Space needs, he agreed, are the result of requirements for academic subjects. “Yes, I’m satisfied with the efficiency of the present space,” Miller said. He pointed out that if his proposal is endorsed and two labs, clerk-typist room, two offices, and storage space is added at the high school, “space will still have to be used efficiently." “You’re not leaving much room for margin." Reeve said. “I don't intend to." replied Miller. Responding to a suggestion from other board members that the architect selected for the expansion project be asked to evaluate use of existing space. Eastham said "if there’s one thing certain about architects, it's that they want to build." He maintained that, asking an architect if present space is adequate would be like asking a cat if he wanted to eat canaries. “They would go broke into the poor house if they didn’t say you need to build!" Lane countered that an architect should be able to suggest better use of existing space along with a proposal for expansion.

NOTICE The Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors will hold a puttie hearing at its regular meeting on April 6, 1981 at 10:00 o’clock A.M. in the Courthouse, Washington, Virginia. The purpose of this meeting will be to inform the public about land use taxation and to hear public comments. Subsequent to this meeting the Board of Supervisors plans to take the necessary steps to enact an ordinance to implement land use taxation in Rappahannock County. Diane Bruce, Clerk Board of Supervisors m12-m19 “We’re the buyers. We knotf what we can afford to * buy. what we’ll be happy with, what will meet our needs.” added Mrs. Massie. Compromise ' Deciding against asking * for architectural drawings J that would encompass the most and the least in the way of suggestions on expansion, the board thrashed out a 1 compromise. They agreed to include bathrooms for the ' handicapped but through expansion of existing facilities if possible and to ask the architect for recommendations on what existing space is best suited for a language center with addition of proper equipment and for a music room with addition of proper accoustics. Lane's request for preliminary study of a solarium-greenhouse and Miller's recommendations on energy efficiency. coal conversion and school roofs were also included. Eastham took no part in the discussion. After the motion to secure an architect to draw plans for the proposed expansion, he read the statement he’d prepared while his fellow board members were working out their compromise. ine waKetieia uistrict representative stated his intention to vote against the expansion. Past school boards, he said, "have been shot down for doing exactly what this board proposes to do." He maintained that the procedures were wrong and the data incomplete, preventing the board from giving the supervisors a fully logical, costed proposal. If the school board "really wants to build something," it should come up with a capital outlay plan that has a chance for approval from the supervisors, he claimed. After the vote left Eastham alone in opposition, he asked to have his statement included in the official minutes. With the clock hitting I a m., the board members agreed to bring suggestions on how to go about securing an architect to the meeting next Tuesday for discussion after public response to the superintendent's budget. Wakefield Presents Servant of Two Masters Ihe Wakefield Drama Club will present “The Servant of Two Masters” on Friday, March 27, and Saturday. March 28, at the Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. The play is an eighteenth century •comedy written by Italy’s answer to Moliere, Carlo Goldoni. Set in Venice, the plot revolves around the antics of a double-dealing manservant. One of his chosen masters is a young woman (disguised as a man) who is searching for her brother's murderer. The other master is a man who happens to have killed said brother. Of course the servant is determined to keep his two masters from meeting. “It’s a light, fast-paced, slap-stick comedy with some side-splitting scenes,” says Pamela Lynn, w axeneia s President and the director of the play. “It is also one of the oply clean Commedia Dell ’Arte type comedies I could find. Most center around cuckoldry.” The play’s cast of fourteen prep school students will wear sixteenth century costumes of Lynn’s design. Students with major roles include Todd Landis and Amelie VonLudwig of Front Royal, Chris White and Erik Arkfeld of Winchester, Wynn Voeks of Flint Hill, and Patrick Dubenitz of Warrenton.

We looked for cast members who were strong in three areas—singing, dancing and acting. Some, particularly the kids, were very good in two and not so strong in the third. “We had so many really adorable young people try out. I would have liked to use more of them for the lost boys and the Indians but we were limited by the size of the stage. I want to do future productions which could use the very rich talent we found among Rappahannock's young people. I’m so thrilled by the talent in our community!” said the director. Delevitt, who will play Peter Pan in the production, will be joined by Nancy Proctor, David Fisher and Willie Arias as Wendy, John and Michael Darling. Waldron O’Connor and Libby Snead were selected for the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Darling, Cindy Pronevitz for Liza. Steve Hostetter tor Captain Hook, Nan Smith for Tiger Lily and John Moyles for the joint role of the ticking crocodile and Nana the nurse dog. The lost boys will be Jonah Waggener. Chad Bear.

Sharon Kilpatrick proposed that the high school be turned into an intermediate school for grades seven and eight. She maintained that cafeteria, bathrooms, kitchen, library and gym are adequate for a two-grade school. Acknowledging that the building has more classroom space than two grades will need, she suggested that the central administration office also be moved into RCHS with portions of the masonry uuuumg tuuvcricu iu lireproof storage for records required by law to be kept. Mrs. Kilpatrick also raised the possibility of housing expanding special education programs in the current high school. Removing the seventh grade from the elementary school would alleviate the “desperate space situation” that has resulted from addition of kindergarten and expansion of special education, according to Kilpatrick. “The teachers lounge and the program for gifted and talented on the stage is the final straw,” she added, noting that seventh graders need more freedom and the expanded curriculum they could get at an intermediate school. For course offerings, she suggested that year, semester and six weeks sessions of shop, home ec, music, art and drama be added to language arts, social studies, match, science and physical education at the intermediate school. Disappointed With Curriculum Kilpatrick stated her disappointed with recent school board decisions on curriculum offerings at RCHS. She maintained that Spanish, “a more useful language for Rappahannock students,” should be offered as well as French. If the addition of the second language causes a decline in French enrollment, “then the board should consider that the laws of the marketplace were at work and that French should be curtailed or dropped." "I get tired of hearing how many electives are offered and hearing about Art 1,2, 3 and 4 when these are all the same class,” she continued, objecting to the lack of consideration for a second art course. With twice as many students wanting to take art than can be scheduled, enrollment is based on talent appraisal, Kilpatrick noted. “Art should not be offered only to the most talented. Art and Art Appreciation should be for anyone who wants to take it,” she said, particularly with the school board's recommendation that all students take six rather than five subjects per year. Finally, she stated her disappointment over the school board's refusal to consider adding horticulture and a greenhouse. Rappahannock residents want the county to remain rural yet public schools here offer no courses of any sort in agriculture, she said, while duplicating building trades classes already provided by Piedmont. Kilpatrick maintained that the students leaving Rappahannock's building trades program are far more likely to be employed on local farms and should be trained for that type of work. Self-Supporting "I believe that a program in horticulture with a greenhouse could be selfsupporting." she cpntinued. Horticulture classes could produce bedding plants for sale and market grafts of dwarf or semi-dwarf Albemarle Pippines, “a wonderful apple which is not available in this form from any other source.” The horticultureagriculture program could also teach safe operation and maintenance of farm equipment and use of and alternatives to agri-chemicals as well as landscape gardening and planting, she added. “It fnakes no financial sense to base our building program on a stable or declining school population" with the 1980 census showing an increase in county population for the first time since the Civil War, Kilpatrick said. "Only good luck, favorable court decisions and an evenhanded and wise zoning policy by our supervisors and planners will prevent our population from skyrocketing in the next 20 years,” she maintained. And even with success in all those areas, the county will still experience growth, Kilpatrick said. Even though it may not be possible to project accurately population for more than five years into the future, “we must build for 20 years," she said, noting that school construction costs have jumped from $40 to an anticipated $60 per square foot in the last two years alone. While much of the county’s recent growth has been in second homes and retirement homes, these have a way of becoming primary homes as retired people die or sell to families in their middle years, according to Kilpatrick. "Last week's newspaper told us of two more proposed subdivisions in Rappahannock." she added. No Patchwork Job In conclusion, Kilpatrick acknowledged that a new high school can’t be built for $1.3 million, estimated cost of RCHS expansion recommended by the superintendent of schools. "But this is not the time for another patchwork job on the high school we have. Adding a few more classrooms and continuing to use the three trailers the board bought for temporary use two years ago is a waste. Money spent now on a new building won’t have to be spent again in five years when we have no idea what construction will cost. Let's do it right this time—for a change!” Lynne Baines added her "wholehearted support" to Mrs. Kilpatrick's proposal for a new high school, sneakine both as a parent and seventh grade teacher. Without a new school, "when the space problems are solved at the high school, they'll be out of bounds at the elementary," she said. Most school systems in Virginia have seventh graders at either a high school of middle school, Baines continued. This avoids the sociological problems that arise when seventh graders are placed in an elementary school environment that they can't cope with, she said. "We desperately need a decent high school," Baines said. She told the school board that, as a ypung adult, she had tried to thank her father for all that he had done for her while she was growing up and his response was that she could only repay him by seeing that her children received the same. “As a family person in Rappahannock County, I can't say that my children will receive the comparable education that my husband and I received in the ’60s," she said. Baines acknowledged that she didn't go to school in a rural county like Rappahannock. "But we’re in the ’80s" she concluded. Speaking on behalf of the Rappahannock County Education Association. Don Bomberger went through the litany of RCHS space needs that has been pointed out time and again by high school teachers and administration. Included on the list of capital outlay proposals for RCHS were a choral and music room with proper acoustics, textbook storage room, science and biology rooms with the laboratory facilities required by law and a faculty lounge where teachers could study, organize lesson plans and use duplicating machines, allowing the present lounge to be returned to its original designed use as a clinic. . In addition, the RCEA proposal calls for more restrooms, a health classroom that will be required in the near future for the state mandated separation of health and phys ed classes, a mechanical equipment room to house heating equipment required by the expansion, guidance offices, cafeteria extension to provide places for more than 90 students at a time out of enrollment that currently approaches 500, library extension with space for librarian's office, study area, book racks and storage and classroom for special education courses now housed in a modular unit. Dramatics Program Speaking as dramatics coach, Bomberger stressed the need for additional space for rehearsals of school plays. Productions can be scheduled only for the spring, he said, so as not to conflict with fall and winter basketball practices. But even with this approach, students in the senior and school plays must share the gym with track and baseball on a rotating basis when it rains, he said. In good weather, rehearsals are still disturbed by athletes using locker rooms adjoining the stage. Bomberger added. "If adequate space was provided for all activities, this would not be a problem," Bomberger said. “Dramatics needs a stage area for practice just as much as a high jumper needs a vault or a baseball player needs a diamond or a basketball player needs a hoop," he pointed out. He asked that space needs of the dramatics program be seriously considered in the study of expansion plans for the high school. ' High school building trades instructor Jim Dennis asked that a window and heating source be added as an immediate capital outlay project to the room he uses for teaching.

The first step is to submit an offer to purchase to the owner through your REALTOR. Then comes the anxious wait for the answer. Your REALTOR will return with one of three answers an acceptance, a rejection, or a counter offer. What is a counter offer? Basically, it is a combination of the rejection and a new offer by the seller. When the seller demands a higher price, more down payment or different terms, the buyer's original offer is automatically cancelled. This is a tricky area of negotiation and calls for the expert advice of your REALTOR or lawyer. The reason is this. In effect, the counter offer may burn bridges in its wake. If the buyer refuses the new counter offer the seller can no longer demand that the buyer make good at the original purchase price - because that original offer to purchase had been wiped out with the rejection and counter offer.

H. Keeler of Washington. Under the headline: “Owns Unusual Animals” it was reported that Mr. Keeler was the owner of two hamsters: The little animals have mouse-like heads, stubby tails, and play like squirrels in their cages. If a piece of food is offered which they do not like, they retreat immediately to a corner of the cage and wash themselves very much as a cat would do. They bury food for future reference in the manner of a dog. “Mr. Keeler didn’t say what hours were most suitable for inspection, but as soon as possible most of us with good health curiosity are going to see those things.” In other front-page news, then state trooper Buntin made a quick arrest: “A Ford pick-up, property of James W. Fletcher of Sperryville, was recovered by Trooper William A. Buntin at 5 o’clock Wednesday morning near the Merrill residence in Washington. The driver of the truck gave his name as Lanny Lavin Brown of Fort Wayne State School, Indiana. It is suspected that this same Brown, who was caught driving the Fletcher pick-up, may be the one who wrecked a Chevrolet truck, belonging to H. B. Wood of Woodville around 3 o’clock in the morning Wednesday. The Wood truck was crashed head-on into the side of a culvert near the home of Miss Annie . Stephenson of Woodville. Brown does - not acknowledge having wrecked the—_ truck/ Brown was apprehended through a series of suspicious actions which led local people to report the behavior of the stranger to Buntin. In the inside pages was an item about a canasta party: “Mrs. E. M. Jones entertained at a canasta party at her home Friday evening for her daughter, Becky Jones. Others playing were Elizabeth Verner, George H. Davis, ^III, Evelyn Tyler Miller and Carolyn Gates Turner.” Starring in “We Were Strangers" at Pitts Fairfax were Jenifer Jones and John Garfield; and the Royal Quality Shop in Front Royal was selling the globe trotter dress for $14.95; “All Wool sweater knitting trims the jacket topping a soft pleated skirt. The fabric is the snootiest rayon linen you’ve ever touched. Washable crease and crush resistant, of course. ” 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS THE MARCH 9, 1%1 issue of the News reported on the success of the Rappahannock races: “The Rappahannock Races drew the cream of the crop of jumping horses from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, with most of the horses so crossentered, no one knew until post time where the horses would run. “Logistics, big point-to-point winner in 1960, is starting the 1961 season by winning the Mt. Marshall race at the Rappahannock Point-to-Point races March 4 at Thornton Hill, Sperryville.” There was a front-page photo of Miss Diane Bruce with the caption: “Senator George S. Aldhizer, II, presents the trophy to Miss Diane Bruce, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bruce of Sperryville after she won the Mason Mountain Race at the Point-toPoint races Saturday. Miss Bruce was riding Trixie, owned by Jack Blankenbaker. ” Gina Lollobrigida and Dale Robertson were starring in “Fast and Sexy” at the Park Theatre in Front Royal.; Also in F ront Royal were William Jlolden and Nancy Kwawis < “The World of Suzie Wong". The Slate Mills correspondent, Mrs. Alice Dorsey, reported that Mrs. Anna May Byers of Arlington and Miss Sally Thornhill and Mrs. Josephine Petty of Culpeper were Saturday afternoon guests of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Somerville and family. Newberrys was offering spring hats: “romantic flower hats, cloches, sailors, pixies, pill boxes, bowlers, all with high crowns. Also favorite open crowns, half-hats, maline hats, more.” Prices ranged from $2.98 to $5.98. SR A Scores Up For 8th Graders, Down For 4th Graders Scores of Rappahannock's fourth graders on the Science Research Associates (SRA) achievement tests administered last fall have declined slightly from results in 1979-80, reversing a statewide trend of improvement for the past three years. At the same time, scores of eighth graders here jumped significantly in 1980 while the state average improved only slightly. At the fourth grade level, Rappahannock students either declined or stayed even with performances of last year’s fourth graders. Compared to SRA results in 1979 as measured against the national average, scores went down in educational ability (49th to 44th percentile), reading (57th to 51st percentile), mathematic concepts (52nd to 46th percentile) and social studies (53rd to 49th percentile). Compared to last year, fourth graders stayed even in language arts (56th percentile), mathematics computation (49th percentile), mathematics total (51st percentile) and science (51st percentile). The national percentile ranks show the relationships of the scores of Rappahannock students to the scores of a large national sample of students at the same grade level. The 50th percentile (or national norm) is that point above which half the students in the national sample scored and below which half of that same group scored. An average reading score in the 51st percentile means, for example, that the average r score of Rappahannock's fourth graders is higher than the scores of 51 percent of the students in the national sample. At the eighth grade level, Rappahannock students showed dramatic improvement with scores climbing above 1979 result., in all categories: 32nd to 46th percentile in education ability. 32nd percentile to 42nd percentile in reading. 33rd to 41st percentile in language arts, 37th to 47th percentile in math concepts, 32nd and 35th percentile in math computation. 32nd to 37th percentile in math total, 29th to 39th percentile in social studies and 31st to 46th percentile in science. Compared to their performance this year, however, Rappahannock's 1980-81 eighth grade class scored slightly better as fourth graders in 1976-77. Their educational ability remained at the 44th percentile between 1976 and 1980 but scores in language, reading, math computations, total math, social studies and science slipped a few percentage points. Only the scores in math concepts improved over the four year period. Statewide, scores of fourth graders over that same period jumped 11 percentage points in math computations, eight percentage points in math total while staying at the same level in math concepts. On an average throughout Virginia, 11th grade scores in 1980 stayed just about even when compared to last year’s results. Rappahannock's juniors, however, posted y , scored that showed a slight decline between 1979 and 1980 in educational ability (39th to 34th percentile) and reading (47th to 41st percentile) and an improvement in language arts (from 38th to 46th percentile) while total mathematics (35th percentile). social studies (45th percentile) and science (33rd percentile) remained the same. Contrasted with their scores as eighth graders in 1977. this year’s junior class at RCHS maintained the same ability ranking (34th percentile) while dramatically improving their performance in reading (from 29th to 41st percentile), language arts (33rd to 46th percentile), and social studies (29th to 45th percentile), slightly edging upwards in total math (33rd to 35th percentile) and dropping a little in science (from 33rd to 31st percentile). Compared to adjoining counties, Rappahannock students ranked below Culpeper’s fourth and 11th graders and above Culpepers eighth graders; significantly below fourth, eighth and 11th graders in Fauquier; slightly below fourth graders, approximately even with 11th graders and slightly above eighth graders in Warren and Madison counties and below fourth and eighth graders and approximately even with 11th graders in Orange. At last week’s special meeting of the Rappahannock school board, member Robert Eastham from Wakefield District reported that Falls Church students scored below students in Rappahannock in r Our Rappahannock Heritage Panther Tales By ROBIN COOPER and RUSTY SETTLE Chris Foster is an active participant in the athletic program at RCHS and has been involved in many but track seems to be his main interest. He is also active in some clubs. Chris received his first letter in track in the ninth grade and the following year broke the high jump record and was one of four who broke the 880 relay record. In his junior year he broke the high jump record again with b'3” and was cited as the most valuable field participant. He will be in the track program again this year and has high hopes. He played a year of JV baseball and a year of JV basketball, has been a member of the Varsity Gub. 4 years; VICA. 3 years and the AAU Track Club, 2 years. His interests outside of school include hunting and ping-pong, water skiing and softball, and, exercise to keep in shape. ' Chris would like to'go into masonery when he completes school; and after learning the trade, go into contracting. His other interest is in farming. The person having the most impact on Chris' life is his grandfather, he said. His grandfather has told him a lot about the past and showed him much about farming and done much, much more for him. Comments from Chris noted the need for athletic SRA tests even though that city's per pupil expenditure for education is four times higher than this county's. According to statistics in the 1979-80 edition of the Virginia Department of Education's Facing Up, Falls Church spent $3,510 per pupil while Rappahannock spent $1,383. On 1980 SRA tests. Falls Church’s fourth graders averaged 28 percentile points better than Rappahannock students in all categories, ranking from a low of 19 points higher in language arts to 37 points higher in educational ability. Eighth graders in Falls Church averaged slightly over 20 points better in all categories from a high of 33 points more in total mathematics to a low of 11 points better in science. For eleventh graders, Fall Church scores ran an average of 20 percentile slots higher, ranging from a low of 14 points better in science to a high of 28 points better in total math. CHRIS FOSTER equipment and a weight room so students have a place to condition. It would be nice, he said, "if we didn't have to wait so long to get equipment and things needed." “They have started working on the track again and team members can hardly wait and look forward “Ttrthe first home meet," he said. "I'd like to see more students coming out for sports. In track with only a few participating, each member has to compete in so many different areas," he added. "On small teams you can’t afford to have someone getting hurt or fouling out. Also more coaches or assistants would be helpful. That way more athletes could receive more individual attention. One person can't be with everyone at the same time." In the future. Chris says he will have vivid memories, pleasant memories of his school years. He's made a lot of friends and gotten to know a lot of people and it’s not going to be easy to forget them. The Senior Follies were , held on February 26 with Mr. Von Fange as Emcee. Winners included Sharon Settle, first, singing "Killing Me Softly”; Elwood Dodson and Brian Barnes on guitars with their act of “A Little Bit Of Country”; Susan Dennis in third place with her own song. "Love Song." Winners received $19.81; $9.81 and $5.00 worth of school supplies, respectively. As of March 2, the boys baseball team has been practicing every day after* school. Coach Bob Edmondson told his team that he expects dedication and hard work from each individual, and as a team. ++ + + There is hardly a question of any real difficulty before the Supreme Court that does not entail more than one socalled principle. Anybody can decide a question if only a single principle is in controversy. The Height Of Hypocrisy To the editor: As you and many of your readers are aware my wife and I. together with a number of our neighbors who have the misfortune of living next to the Pentecostal Campground near Castleton, have been attempting for almost two years to get the appropriate officials of Rappahannock County to enforce the provisions of the 1973 Zoning Ordinance. After taking our case to the Supreme Court of Virginia last June and successfully obtaining an injunction restraining the County from implementing the decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals, our attorney was approached by the attorney representing Rappahannock County who inquired as to whether or not we would agree to a settlement of the case if the Board of Supervisors enacted certain amendments to Article Six of the Zoning Ordinance which would prohibit campgrounds in the Residential Subdivision Zone in which our property is located. Although we agreed to this proposal, the Board of Supervisors never passed the promised amendments, even though the Planning Commission held public hearings and UNANIMOUSLY recommended approval of the proposed amendments and even though there was NO OPPOSITION to the proposed amendments when mt uuaiu ui ntiu a public hearing at its September meeting. Finally, after five months during which the Board of Supervisors repeatedly refused to act on the proposed amendments, we were forced to file another lawsuit against the County whose object was to force the County to enforce the existing provisions of the Zoning Ordinance which do not allow the construction or operation of a campground either by right or by special use permit in a Residential Subdivision District. The County’s response was to file a suit in which it asks the Court to rule on whether or not the existing provisions of the Zoning Ordinance are valid or not and which states that the Board of Supervisors "entertain doubts as to whether Article 6 of the Ordinance (Residential Subdivision District) is valid, operative and enforceable.” If the Board has doubts as to whether or not the Ordinance is enforceable, why doesn’t it pass the Amendments unanimously approved by the Planning Commission, instead of wasting the taxpayers' money (not to mention our money) litigating this matter in Court? It is interesting to note that this is the only case on record in the Commonwealth of Virginia where a County has Tiled a suit which in effect asks the Court to strike down its own ordinance. Most disturbing of all is the fact that in the official court papers, which were not only signed, but acknowledged before a Notary Public by every member of the Board of Supervisors including Col. E. P. Luke, it is stated that (quote' “your Co-Petitioner Board of Supervisors is of the opinion that a ‘piecemeal' approach to the zoning process and to land use planning in general does not serve the public interest, and has therefore declined to enact amendments to the Ordinance.” pending a comprehensive review which is currently underway. Despite this statement. Col. Luke, the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, was quoted in last week's Rappahannock News as stating that although a comprehensive review of the Zoning Ordinance would take another eight to nine months. that certain amendments could be rushed thru the Planning Commission and Bpard of Supervisors within sixty days in order to benefit local garage owners who are presently op. rating in agricultural districts in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. What happened to Col. Luke's opposition to a "piecemeal approach" to the zoning process which he signed his name to the January 5. 1981? Why do these garage owners, whom Col. Luke states are operating illegally, deserve greater consideration than the law abiding citizens who have been forced to sue the County twice to enforce our rights under the Zoning Ordinance and to secure the peaceful use and enjoyment of our properties? Why doesn’t the Board of Supervisors have the guts to enforce their own ordinances and why is the Board of Supervisors willing to change the Ordinance to fit what the illegal garage owners are doing while it refuses to pass amendments that no one opposed during two public hearings? Why doesn’t the Board of Supervisors have the guts to come out and say that a working family's right to peace and quiet and a decent night's sleep are protected by the Constitution and that camper hook-ups for fifty trailers, spotlights glaring, loudspeakers blaring and heavy traffic on a narrow secondary road until after midnight have absolutely nothing to do with freedom of religion.* To me, this is the height of hypocrisy. JAMES A. GRIGSBY Castleton Spring Comes March 20th Twice each year, day and night are exactly the same length of time—on the first day of spring and autumn. This year, on March 20 at 12:03 p.m., spring arrives when the sun moves directly above Earth’s equator. This moment is called the vernal equinox, from the Latin words, “vernal” meaning spring and “equinox” meaning equal night. On the first day of spring, the sun will rise directly in the east and set directly in the west. The sun’s annual journey across the sky can be traced from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer. When the sun reaches the equator, the midpoint in its journey, spring officially begins in the northern hemisphere. According to Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger Jr., director of the Science Museum of Virginia, “Because Earth is tilted about 23‘/i degrees on its axis as it revolves around the sun. the northern hemisphere gets more heat for part of the year and the southern hemisphere for the other part.” PEC Schedules Uranium Forum Potential impacts of the uranium mining industry on land and water resources will be discussed at a public meeting in Orange on March 18 at 7:30 p.m. The meeting, sponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Council, the Orange County Farm Bureau, the Madison County Farm Bureau and the Junior Women’s Club of Orange, will include slide presentations of actual mining and milling operations, presentations by experts and questions and answers from the audience. An opportunity for informal discussions will follow during refreshments. The meeting will be held in the Orange County High School located north of Route 20 on Selma Road.

EPA Fines Area Business ine u. a. environmental Protection Agency has issued an Order to comply and assessed a $25,000 penalty to Culpeper Wood Preservers for violations of hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). As part of the EPA enforcement action, the company was ordered to cease operation immediately of its chemical holding pond for hazardous waste from its wood preserving process in Culpeper. EPA became aware of the pond in early February, when more than 200.000 gallons of a copper ACLD Meeting Anne Fleming, third vice president of the international Association of Children and Adults with Learning Disabilities, will speak to the Blue Ridge Chapter of ACLD on Thursday, March 12, at 7:30 p.m. in . the Administration Building of the Virginia Baptist Home in Culpeper. Ms. Fleming’s address will concern strategies for prioritizing the goals of the local chapter which was formed in November of 1980. The ACLD is the only international organization devoted to defining and finding solutions for Learning Disabilities, the "hidden handicap." A non-profit corporation, ACLD has affiliates in every state. The Blue Ridge Chapter of the ACLD was organized to serve Culpepr, Fauquier, Orange, Madison, and Rappahannock counties. The chapter encourages all interested citizens, and especially parents, to attend the March 12 meeting. For further information, call Mrs. David Ingram at 825-0168. cnromium arsenate solution spilled into a tributary of the Rappahannock River due to a break in the dike. The EPA Order also directed Culpeper Wood Preservers to submit a revised application for a RCRA permit for interim status within 30 days with information concerning the holding pond. If the company does not submit the application. it will have to go through a lengthy permitting procedure as a new hazardous waste facility or dispose of its waste at an authorized facility. The company had filed an application by the November 19, 1980 deadline, but that application did not mention the holding pond. Before the surface impoundment can be used again for the storage of the chromium-arsenate solution, the site must come into compliance with all interim status standards for a hazardous waste facility, EPA told the company. These standards cover general operating requirements, the containment system, waste analysis, company inspections, closure procedures and other requirements for the handling of hazardous waste.

Pointing out that the population of the two counties now is more than 41,000, fund drive cochairmen M. J. O’Connell and Dr. J. Laurence Manwaring declare that “with more people, of course, the greater the need.” They are asking residents to “contribute a little more than you did last year so we may keep up with the increased costs and demand." Nearly one-third of the chapter’s budget must be sent to the national Sisk Funeral services for John Robert Sisk, 62, of Sperryville were held Tuesday at the Geest-Johnson Funeral yome Chapel in Culpeper conducted, by .Jjxe Rq. i Charles Clinedinst.

Although the Red Cross is most often associated with its blood collecting activity, it performs other important services for area residents. Last year, for example, the Red Cross chapter supplied food and furnishings to eight families who were victims of fires and floods, furnished 34 volunteers to assist at two nursing homes in Warrenton and at Fauquier Hospital, the Vint Hill Farms Statiop dispensary and at the Bloodmobile; helped 150 military families in the area in applying for government benefits and in verifying the need for emergency leave; trained 48 people in standard first aid. 67 in advanced first aid, and 36 in cardiac pulmonary resuscitation, as well as 207 in water safety and swimming. Rec Cross officials make the point that few people realize the extent of the chapter’s training programs. Most of the rescue squads in the area, the fireman and the police have been instructed in CPR and first aid by the Red Cross. The same is true of swimming instruction in the schools. All of this is in addition to the collection of blood, for which the Fauquier Chapter last year won a certificate of merit from national headquarters for exceeding its goal. The chapter had the best record in the entire 37county Washington Region.

The Final Tribute GLORE FUNERAL HOME “The Home of Thoughtful Service” PHONE 825-2361 CULPEPER CEMETERY MEMORIALS School Space Needs Emphasized Again (Continued from Page 3) As for the shop area, he maintained that the industrial arts program doesn't encompass ail that it should because of space limitations and suggested that an expansion program be undertaken before construction costs climb even higher. From Room To Room Judy Bomberger told the board that she teaches two morning music classes at the high school and has a ten minute break before driving to the elementary school where she must push a cart loaded with instruments, record player, records and the rest of her supplies from room to room for the remainder of the day. “The school has a good piano but it's of little use because it takes too long and too many people to move it,” she said. If she needs to use a blackboard, Bomberger said, she must first check to see that she doesn’t erase anything still needed by the regular classroom teacher. Every half hour, she must move her supplies from room to room, often forced to cut minutes off the first group's time in order to get to another class at the other end of the building. Practice for the elementary school’s musical programs used to be conducted on the gymnasium stage, she said. But now that stage is divided between a teachers lounge, offices for three teachers, desk storage and class space for the gifted and talented program, leaving no place for rehearsals. "I teach 600 students at the elementary school every week. The physical education teacher is the only one who teaches as many and she has the gym...I’m already doing the job of one and a half people when I have two schools. Please make it easier by providing a music room to teach in." Bomberger told the board. Describing students in the gifted and talented program as the best in the elementary school, fifth grade teacher Robin Dexter called the environment on the gym stage ‘‘one of the worst conditions at the school...I find it ironic that the school board gives the inference that the best deserve the worst," she said. Dexter, who also teaches band classes after school, said that music teaches creativity and discipline as well as providing an outlet for self-expression and stressed the need for a music room that would alleviate the need for Judy Bomberger to push a cart from room to room every 30 minutes. Earlier in the meeting, Laurie Marshall, teacher for the gifted and talented program, illustrated the adverse conditions she must work under by playing a tape recorded on stage while noisy gym classes were meeting on the other side of the curtain. Squeezed In “My room was the old dentist office," reported Corinne Stein, learning disabled resource teacher at the elementary school. “My students are very highly distractable youngsters. Most of them have normal or above normal intelligence but they need special help...When I’m trying to squeeze four or five students into a tiny room, it’s hard to give them the individual attention they need,” she said. Ron Wiley noted that he’s seen very little change in the school situation over the years although space needs have been pointed out time and time again. “I stress that you listen carefully to what is said tonight—It’s nothing new." “I certainly hope we won’t find ourselves sitting here doing the same thing next year,” said Charles Eldred, adding that the subject of space needs and capital improvements has been "almost worn out with no positive action over several years.” He acknowledged that the current board is not made up of the same members who have considered capital outlay proposals in the past. “This board can distinguish itself from those earlier boards by acting differently,” he concluded. With no further speakers, chairman Beverly Massie called an end to the time set aside for public input on capital outlay. According to the chairman, the subject will be taken up again by the board at its regular March 10 meeting. Senior I.D. Cards senior citizens ou years ot age and over who live in Culpeper.

ROGER BATCHELDER, REALTOR Across from The Rush River Company Washington, Va. 22747 675A777 Res: 9 V--I V38 Assessment Postponement (Continued from Page 1) the machine, property transferred recently will have to be reassessed under the old discounted rate, Scoggin said. The county can avoid extra cost of implementing the new assessment values next year by saving the tapes already on the computer, Luke pointed out. “I think we should retain the old assessment values as long as we can." he added. ‘‘Forever if possible," Wood interjected. “$900 more—1 say that’s certainly worth the. difference," the chairman continued. Supervisor Dick Latham said he also favored retaining the old assessments for 1981 to allow time to get a use value assessment ordinance and other details ironed out. Objection To Delay "I'm not saying we should push the reassessment board but I think we should follow through with this," said Hubert Gilkey, noting that appraiser Jerry Hall took only three weeks to hold his hearings with landowners. "1 would like to see us go ahead with what we have and use the new figures this year," he said. Wood maintained that land use taxation which can't be implemented this year is tied into the whole tax package and is a necessary component for equalization of land values. "In essence, we’ve had land use in Rappahannock even though it hasn’t been on the books." Gilkey responded, referring to the county's tax rate, the lowest true rate in the state. "While you're discussing land use. John Capelle (executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission) has advised us that 62 percent of the land in Rappahannock County is in the S1 (X) an acre bracket." the commissioner of revenue reported. (Under use value assessment, qualifying land is taxed on the basis of its use value as opposed to speculative market value. To determine assessment for use value taxation, the state’s special advisory committee has established suggested ranges for land worth, based on productivity and soil type.) Scoggin noted, however. that the county is not bound by the $100 an acre figure. “If the county feels it’s suffering too much (by assessing property in land use) at $100 an acre, it can set a minimum figure of $200 for example.” she explained. Currently, the county has one Agriculture and Forestal District. Since it was approved prior to June 30, it’s single landowner, C. E. Johnson, Jr., is eligible for use value taxation—without countywide ordinance—in 1981. Another AFD application is currently pending. While not opposing ag districts. Wood maintained that a countywide use value taxation ordinance "will give the little person more flexibility.” He noted that many small farmers are not able to join a district and therefore, need'an alternative. As an example, he told of a man in his 70’s with 30 acres in his district who’s farmed all his life. “He deserves land use more than anyone else," Wood maintained. Returning the discussion to the subject of assessment values. Luke asked for a motion to delay implementation of the fair market value figures until 1982. The motion passed. 3I. with Gilkey opposed. In response to a request from Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson for recommendations on appointments to the equalization board, the following persons were nominated by the supervisors: Eileen Day Dwyer. Piedmont District; Raymond Johnson. StonewallHawthorne District; Thomas Williams. Jackson District; Phyllis Irwin, Wakefield District; Edward Bailey. Hampton District.
