Estes is the new Piedmont District representative on the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, replacing E. P. Luke who resigned last month. In response to a request for nominations from the supervisors who are responsible for filling the vacancy, a handful of Piedmont residents showed up at Monday’s board meeting in support of Estes. The candidate himself first presented a petition with more than 230 names calling for his appointment. “1 see a lot of people here from Sperryville. Do they have anything they want to say? I guess the petition says it all.” remarked supervisor H. B. Wood. A. Y. Stokes, farmer and planning commission member, said Estes will serve both Piedmont District and the county in a very able capacity. "As a lifelong citizen of Piedmont District, he understands our needs and our problems,” added Carson Johnson. "He will make a good representative for Piedmont District. I think he knows all the people in that district as well as the rest of the county,” said Jimmy Swindler. Aline Johnson and Huey Atkins also added their endorsements. With no further comments from the audience, the board voted unanimous to appoint Estes. He must stand for election in the November general elections. Otherwise, his term expires January, 1982, and whoever is chosen by Piedmont voters in November will fill out the two year balance. The new supervisor operates Charles K. Estes Truck Sales in Sperryville as welj as Valley View Orchard. A native of Rappahannock, (Continued on Page 4) Rappahannock News Photo/S. Latham NEW PIEDMONT DISTRICT Supervisor. Charles K. Estes, took the oath of office Monday and began his term at the July meeting that day. Garage Amendment Adopted By Board Rappahannock’s supervisors unanimously approved an amendment to the county's zoning ordinance at Monday’s board meeting which allows automotive garages and used car sales by special permit in an agricultural zone. The regulation change sparked little public interest. Three supporters spoke in favor of the amendment with the only opposition coming in a letter from an adjoining landowner. The disinterest seemed to be shared by the supervisors who voted unanimously to adopt the ordinance change without a word of discussion. The amendment allows garages limited to five vehicles for sale at one time in an agricultural zone with a special use permit from the board of zoning appeals. “I’m all for it ’cause I'm the one who's asking for it,” announced Hushel Settle. Settle initially applied for a commercial rezoning of his property on Route 729 near Estes so he could obtain state vehicle inspection and used car sales licenses. He has operated a garage at the agriculturally zoned site for the past several years in violation of zoning ordinance regulations which did' not allow that use in an agricultural zone. In denying his rezoning application, the county’s planning commission suggested that Rappahannock’s ordinances he amended to allow the use by special permit. Citing the unanimous recommendation from the planners. Carson Johnson said the commission had studied the issue and determined the amendment was best for the county as a whole. W. B. Weaver also stated his support, adding that the garage site wasn’t visible from the highway. With no further comment, the supervisors voted unanimously to enact the ordinance amendment. In a letter dated May 19, Mary Parrish warned the supervisors against allowing businesses to encroach upon farm and forest acreage. The need for garages in an agricultural area is not as great as near main thoroughfares or towns where traffic and population are heavier she maintained, noting that farm machinery is usually serviced by a dealer. Limits Suggested If the proposed ordinance amendment is adopted. Parrish suggested limiting the number of garages allowed in each magisterial district on agriculturally zoned land to two, adding that Jackson District in which Settle is located already has five. Size of garage lots should be redistricted to one acre, she proposed, with no more than six cars for sale or nonoperable cars used for parts kept on the property at one time. Other suggested limits included (1) hours of operation 7 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday-Saturday, (2) no merchandise sold except thatwhich pertains to an automotive business, (3) permit renewable every three years and restricted to the present owner, (4) signs and advertising to conform to agricultural zone regulations. Parrish maintained that anyone who wants to start a garage or used car lot should be encouraged to locate in a commercially zoned area. Noting that previous commitments required her to be (Continued on Page 4) Turn-Out Heavy For Rabies Clinic Dr. M. C. Rawnsley of Warrenton stuck needle after needle after needle into squirming pets on Tuesday evening as Rappahannock residents brought in their Rappahannock Nrwn PhiAn/S. Latham James Compton’s dog was reluctant to go to the vaccination clinic. The shots were so skillfully given that there was scarcely a whimper from any of the animals. dogs and cats for protection against the rabies outbreak that has struck the area in the past two months. Between 140 and 150 animals were vaccinated, approximately three-fifths of them dogs, according to Jack Lockhart of the Rappahannock Health Department. Health officials, in cooperation with local veterinarians and county government, scheduled this week’s clinic in Washington following a similar mass immunization program two weeks ago in neighboring Fauquier County that saw 272 cats and 254 dogs vaccinated. The clinic here was prompted by the fourth incident of rabies in two months. Since May, two cats and a skunk in the Warrenton area and a fox in the Amissville vicinity have been confirmed as having the disease. On Monday, the Rappahannock supervisors approved purchasing rabies vaccine at 64 cents a dose, their contribution to the immunization effort. Charge for the vaccinations was $4 per animaL Initially, the clinic at the firehouse was scheduled to begin with cats from 6 p.m. to 7 and end with dogs from 7 p.m. to 8. By 6:30, however, •he parking lot in front of the firehouse was packed with cars, pick-ups and dogs. To reach the immunization table, cat owners with their pets in cages, and boxes threaded their way through dachshunds, dalmations, huskies, spaniels and Heinz 57 varieties in every size, shape and color. The canines were all on their best behavior. There were whines, whimpers and barks but no growls or fights, wagging tails but no raised hackles. Cats responded to the non-threatening atmosphere by stretching out for a nap as they waited in line in their kitty carriers for shots. Turnout was heavier than expected. The number of animals vaccinated by Rawnsley at the firehouse on Tuesday totaled approximately a quarter of the cats and dogs innoculated at two days of clinics held at five separate locations in Warrenton and Marshall. Despite the heat and the crowds, Rawnsley never lost his “bedside manner”. He was still admblistering each shot with a smile and a pat when he finished with the last dog, sometime around 9 p.m. Washington’s Water Crisis Over Washington doesn't have its new well hooked up yet but the reservoir is full and tanker trucks that are hauling water to the town quit making trips last Tuesday. According to Mayor Newbill Miller, the basic electrical work for tying the new 150 gallon per minute well into the system has been completed. But the pump must still be installed, pipe laid and power turned on before water can begin to flow. Waterworks supervisor Charlie Jenkins reported on Wednesday that he’s kept the 100,000 gallon reservoir full by pumping 10 to 12 hours every night from the old well. According to Jenkins, the reservoir holds about a five day supply with the town’s normal usage of 20,000 gallons per day. He emphasized, however, that residents must still conserve and avoid unnecessary water consumption until the new well is connected. Miller said that the plan to lay a temporary line with hose provided by the Washington Volunteer Fire Department has been dropped. With the reservoir full, intentions now are to go ahead with construction of a permanent line. Miller noted, however, that the fire house can be connected immediately between the new well and the nearest hydrant approximately 2,500 feet away in the event that water supply runs low. Culpeper Turns Thumbs Down On Shared Disnateh Service •t> DAI’HNKHI TCHINSON |{.t|»|»nhannork Nru«. Staff U rilrr After months of negotiations, Culpeper's Fire and Rescue Association has turned down a proposal from Rappahannock for operating a dual county dispatch system for fire and rescue units. For years, Culpeper sheriffs department has - provided free dispatch service for fire and rescue units in Washington, Flint Hill, Amissville and Castleton as well as for the sheriff’s department here. This past March, however, Culpeper Fire and Rescue Squad, owners of the communication equipment housed in the sheriffs office, announced that . Rappahannock's free emergency dispatch would cease as of July 1. Meetings between supervisors and firemen brom both counties resulted only in Rappahannock getting 120 days to develop an alternative to elimination of the free service. With estimates on the cost ot setting up a communications system here running at least $60,000, ^ Rappahannock’s supervisors endorsed a joint dispatch service. A special two-count) committee formed to address the problem suggested moving the dispatch center from the overcrowded Culpeper sheriffs office and hiring trained dispatch personnel to operate new equipment with costs to be shared proportionately between Culpeper and Rappahannock counties. But Paul Poling, Amissville fireman and the county’s representative on the joint committee, told the Rappahannock supervisors on Monday that Culpeper’s Fire and Rescue Association is now “vehemently opposed" to any type of joint dispatch. According to Poling, Culpeper firemen want Rappahannock "to get off the system entirely." Culpeper supervisors have no say in the matter, he noted, because the communicationsequipment is owned by the fire department, not by the county. If steps are taken to change the existing communications system in any way, the fire company has threatened to remove its equipment from the sheriffs office, according to Poling. Maybe A Year Of Grace “If we make headway on setting up our own system, they’ll give us a year,” he reported, adding that he had no suggestions for the supervisors on what action to (Continued on Page 8) Fscapees Bound For Grand Jury In general district court on Tuesday, Judge John Alexander bound over Charles L. Longerbeam and Richard W. Courtney to the grand jury on charges of felonious escape. According to testimony from Dennis Makley, an employee of the Virginia highway department, the two were part of a convict crew assigned to picking up trash on the Shade Road west of Washington at the Route 211 intersection on April 21. “One inmate with a back problem was talking to me. I turned back around and those two were gone,” Makley told the judge. Makley said he gathered the rest of the convict detail together and drove to the Rappahannock County High School to report the escape to Correctional Camp 26 at Haymarket where the men had been held. At the same time, the high school principal notified the sheriff's department. State police working with a track dog and helicopter were unable to locate the escapees in the county. The two were recaptured the following day in Leesburg. Longerbeam, 27, of Sterling, was serving a ten year sentence, five years suspended, for distribution of a controlled drug. Courtney, 32, of Berryville, was serving 90 months on eight charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny. The grand jury will consider the charges against the two on Monday, July 13.

A white alabaster duck, her first sculpture, graces the coffee table in front of a picture window. A niche outside the front door waits for a second piece, a prancing unicorn that Helen first saw in a dream and later . sculpted out of a soap-stone slab brough from the Kilby’s old home in Sperryville. The mantel over the fireplace holds pottery vases, molded from clay Helen dug on the farm. Her delicate chip carving decorates lids of wooden what-not boxes. Tole painted trays of colorful flowers, more of Helen’s artistry, hang in the kitchen. Visitors prop their feet up on a stool that she recaned. Ceramics with the quality of fine old porcelain creations from Helen’s home kiln, rest on shelves and bookcases. Other examples of her wide range of talents—copper enameling, cloisonne, docoupage and woodworking—adorn dressers and table tops. Crafts always have been an important part of Helen’s life. Several years before her marriage in 1943 to Lucio Kilby whoth she met while she was teaching in Madison County, Helen was arts and crafts director for a summer Girl Scout camp in New England. “I’m sort of a jack of all crafts,” Helen joked, insisting repeatedly that her skills are those of an amateur and not a master. “I have a great deal of interest and a smattering of ' skill in so many different fields that I’m an expert at nothing!" she maintained. “I paint. I’m not a great painter but 1 paint. 1 don’t pretend to be an expert but I have taught painting classes.” She was also a member of the Rappahannock Arts and Crafts Club when that group was extremely active. The organization gave women who practiced crafts an opportunity to share ideas and talents, according to Helen. In addition, it was dedicated to preserving the old-time crafts that were fast disappearing from Rappahannock’s hollows. "We sponsored workshops in as many crafts as we could find somebody \o teach," Helen recalled. In recent years, however, the club gradually has disbanded, no longer holding its annual show at Sperryville’s fire hall. Its remaining members concentrate primarily on quilting projects, Helen noted. “That doesn’t really interest me. My crafts are all dirty crafts!" Helen cleans the paint and potter’s clay off her hands from time to time only to plunge them into the dirt in her gardens. In addition to the vegetables found in most farm family plots, she has flower beds encircling the house and driveway, exploding in a burst of color. Her yard gives evidence of the green thumb that mad her the first president of Rappahannock's Garden Club, a group she helped organize. The dirt from gardening follows paint and clay from arts and crafts down the wash basin drain before Helen puts her hands to her third passion, music. A music minor at Madison College, she had formal instruction in voice and on the piano that tills up one corner of her living room. She taught herself to play both the organ that takes up another corner and the guitar. She’s given lessons over the years, bringing music into many young lives, but she makes light of her musical abilities. “I don’t play anything real well,” she emphasized over and over again. "But I’ve been glad to teach what little 1 do know. 1 don’t claim to know that much but 1 share what I know.” Gardening, music and crafts keep Helen's hands busy. Astrology absorbs her mind. For 10 years, she’s been casting horoscopes, doing detailed solar and natal charts for a wide range of clients, including teachers, ministers, doctors, psychologists, businessmen, theologians, craftspeople and artists. Not An Astrologer "But I'm absolutely not an astrologer," Helen stressed. "I’m a student of many, many subjects, only one of which is astrology. I've always had an abiding interest in what people believe and what people have believed in the past, their religions and their philosophies. I've read a great deal and I've never been afraid to delve into certain studies just because they were off-beat, or strange, or ancient, or ahead of the times. I'm open minded and if something piques my curiosity, I want to learn more." This inquisitive nature runs in Helen Kilby’s family. She comes from a long line of pioneer educators, scholars, farmers and politicians in Southwest Virginia. One grandfather was a representative in the Kentucky legislature, the other a headmaster of a "ladies’ seminary." Helen's bent towards music and education is inherited from her two grandmothers. Her mother, still very alert at 92, started her college education at 81 (Continued on Page 2) THE RAPPAHANNf)Ck COl'NTRY DANCERS entertained crowds as part of the pageant put on at noon on the court house steps last Saturday at Washington's Independence Day celebration.

An equal opportunity employer M/F, H, V —Helen Kilby Studies Stars and Crafts (Continued from Page 1) after watching all her children and grandchildren graduate and she continued taking courses until she was 84. Helen’s research in astrology grew out of an interest in metaphysics born in her childhood. “There is a metaphysical concept to which I respond wholeheartedly—that all things created by the Creator are related to and have an influence on all other created things.” If everything in the universe is tied together by cosmic laws, then it’s possible that the magnetism of other planets, their relative paths through the heavens, their distances, angles and degrees have some sort of influence on everything else in the universe, according to Helen. “I don’t ‘believe’ in astrology it’s not a religion to me. But neither do I denounce the study as an evil teaching that is altogether hocus-pocus. I just don’t know and 1 want to invpctioatp ” For 10 years now, Helen Kilby has been conducting her investigation. Her studies have led her to conduct classes in astrology. She no longer teaches but she still can be persuaded to find time in her busy schedule to draw up a chart for a friend. No Daily Horoscopea Helen is quick to stress that she doesn’t spend hours checking the stars and planets for direction on how to live her life. “A person who has to consult a daily horoscope is not reasoning. 1 don’t believe they ought to any more than 1 believe in tossing a coin or depending too heavily upon another person to make our decisions for us. Each of us must first think and then make our own decisions and assume full responsibility for our successes or failures,’’ she maintained. “Sometimes very suggestible, gullible people get all caught up in astrology and go off the deep end but it isn’t the fault of the astrologer. I try to avoid discussing astrology with those people.” Drawing a natal chart takes hours and hours of mathematical calculations. Helen uses an ephemeris, the same catalogue of statistics employed by astronomers to determine the position of the planets. The ephemeris gives the daily location of planets at midnight in Greenwich, England. First, she must translate the birth hour into local mean time and then she has to calculate planetary movement during the interval between midnight and birth Menu SwniiB Cords July 13-17 Monday Cheese and potato casserole, green beans with butter, corn bread with green pepper, peaches, milk.

She recently began using services from one of the many businesses that determine through computers planetary positions at a given location and hour. Initially, she checked herself against the computers to see how reliable her calculations were. “If I was off at all, I was off by only a few seconds. It was reassuring to know that I was doing the math right" Science And Pseudo-Science Up to the point of determining planetary positions, the skills Helen uses are pure math and science, But the science of astronomy and the pseudoscience of astrology part company over assigning meanings to the influences of those planetary positions. “The arc of heaven is divided into 12 segments," Woodville Socials By JUNE CLARK RippahaniMirk Mrw*<Uirm*|*«Hi«tnrt Bonnie Brown and Tanya Brown of Silver Spring, Md., were weekend guests of their parents, Mrs. Chloe Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Brown, respectively.

Then the astrologers developed their philosophy around that" Of the 12 signs of the zodiac, none is either good or bad, according to Helen. “Problems in a chart come not from the sun sign but because of angles (created by the planets at the exact time of birth),’’ she emphasized. Helen puts no stock in the “sun sign’’ horoscopes that appear in daily newspapers, magazines and other publications. “If astrology is going to be of any value, it must be individualized, like a natal chart,” she said. “Otherwise, it’s like throwing one-twelfth of humanity into* one big pot.” Newspaper horoscopes are so general, “you can read into them whatever you choose," she continued. “All B.

But using a “book of houses”, she will draw a chart that addresses areas of life experience in a very general way, beginning with babyhood and going through courtship, adult years and old age. Most of the horoscopes she casts are for friends but occasionally, she has done charts for total strangers, working from an hour and place of birth and nothing more. “I kind of like that. Whether it hits or not is a real test of astrology,” Helen said. And she’s often hit. A friend once requested her to do a horoscope for a third unidentified party. Some time later, Helen asked for' an address to which she could send the finished chart since she had come to a conclusion on the individual’s profession and didn’t believe anyone fitting that description lived in Rappahannock. Her friend was amazed when Helen determined—correctly—that the mystery client was an artist, even narrowing it down to the specific art form. Seen Aa Witchcraft But she’s understandably hestitant in speaking of her successes in astrology, worried that it will sound too much like soothsaying and the occult. In the past, Helen's interest in her hobby has been misinterpreted. Once she received an anonymous letter from someone who described himself or herself as a friend. The writer claimed that astrology was a “Godless terching, the work ot the devil,’’ and cautioned Helen that he or she feared for her very soul. "Another time I was told that a neighbor thought I was ‘practicing witchcraft’! If those persons only knew. I’m probably more of a sceptic about such things than they are.” Far from practicing witchcraft, Helen is a serious Bible student and has belonged to a study group here for years. She doesn’t believe astrology conflicts with her religion. "There is nothing in astrology that contradicts Christianity. There’s nothing anti-religious about it at all,’’ she maintained. Helen pointed out that many Biblical prophecies were based on predictions from "stargazers. “In fact, the birth of Jesus was Garden Edition Do you have an unusual canning, freezing, or pickling secret?

The Wise Men were so called because they were astrologers,” she noted. But Helen also acknowedged that Jesus warned in the New Testament against soothsayers, fortune tellers, astrologers and charlatans who exploited people’s ignorance and superstition for gain and glory. “He tried to teach people not to worry about tomorrow,” she noted. “We don’t always follow that advice. It’s difficult not to be anxious about the future. But I still think that’s an excellent teaching.” Although she doesn’t consult her own charts before making decisions, Helen Kilby believes that there’s something to astrology. ‘‘It’s not at all unreasonable for me to suppose that we may be influenced by other planets,” she said, pointing to recent scientific evidence that the earth is bombarded by rays during times of sun flare activity. “We can’t deny the sun’s influences or the influence of the moon on the tides, on the oceans. I don’t subscribe to a lot of cultish beliefs about fate or writing in the stars but I do allow the possibility that there might be something valid to astrology. “Do crops grow better if planted in certain moon signs? Does the full moon agitate emotions? Are there certain worms that come up out of the sand and do a sort of dance only at full moon? Are there more natural disasters and upheavals when there are inharmonious angles between planets? I am curious...Maybe there are real scientific principles at work which some day will be demonstrated to support astrogogical ideas. 1 don’t know,” she concluded.

A recent study shows that, nationally, sales typically jump nearly 30 percent in March over the January and February levels. Activity then continues to expand, although at a more modest pace, throughout the spring, reaching a peak in June and July. Sales then continue slightly below that peak until the beginning of the school year when they decline, typically IS percent in September. This starts a seasonal downtrend which continues until a low is reached in December. The decline from the summer peak to the December low averages 43 percent. Each section of the country generally reflects the pattern of the whole U.S. but some regions differ in timing and magnitude of the seasonal moves.

Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation THURSDAY, JULY 9,1981 Garage Amendment Adopted By Board (Continued from Page 1) out of the county on the date of the public hearing for the proposed ordinance amendments, she requested—without success—that her letter be read at the meeting. Vacancies Advertised Following an hour long executive session for litigation and personnel, the supervisors voted unanimously to" advertise openings for zoning administrator, building inspector and county engineer. Individuals interested in any one or a combination of the three positions should apply before July 30 and appear in person at the board’s August 10 meeting. Also, the supervisors agreed to take no action on a request for release of a reward offered for information leading to the conviction of the individual responsible for burning Ned Johnson’s barn. Robert Clarence “Pete” Martin was found guilty in May of five counts of arson involving the Halloween night barn burning in Sperryville. In a letter dated June 20, attorney Peter Luke placed a claim on behalf of his client, Albert Gatewood, for the $1,000 offered by the supervisors. Luke noted that Gatewood's testimony against Martin made him eligible to claim the reward. (At the May 22 trial, Gatewood testified that Martin had admitted to him that he set the fires.) After an executive session, the Supervisors agreed to take no action on Gatewood’s claim until Martin's appeal period is ended and the court acts on a standard defense motion to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial. EMS Endorsement Tabled Earlier in Monday’s meeting, the supervisors balked at supporting the concept of a regional Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Council. The proposed letter of endorsement also included a statement of support for fire and rescue services, in concept at least, and an agreement to consider maintenance funding of advanced life support systems communication installed with federal dollars. Gary Rosson, director of the planning district's EMS Council, told the supervisors that federal funds secured through the council over the past three years have gone primarily for rescue squad equipment and a communications system which gives rescue vehicles direct voice contact with area hospitals. Federal funds used to pay the EMS council’s administrative costs may not be available much longer, according to R os son. If money for administration isn’t forthcoming as anticipated from the state, Rosson said, the EMS council has no other alternatives since it’s doubtful that local governments will provide support. The RappahannockRapidan Council is one of only three EMS councils in Virginia to be awarded funds next year, according to Rosson. But the federal money to establish repeater sites for communications between rescue vehicles and hospitals won’t be released until local governments make a commitment to maintaining the system, he said. The repeater site anticipated for Rappahannock in the coming year will bring advanced life through direct hospital contact to the entire county, he said. In addition to the letter of endorsement being a prerequisite for federal funds, Rosson said the EMS Council wanted assurance that “we’re not doing someting (a) that’s not appreciated and (b) won’t be supported.” Rappahannock particularly would benefit from a communication system which provides direct hospital contact because of its distance from medical facilities, according to Rosson. Supervisor Dick Latham asked if county squads had sufficient personnel to man advanced life support equipment. Personnel Already Trained Flint Hill rescue squadsmen Frankie Huff and Kenneth Pullen currently are qualified for advanced life support but have little opportunity to use their skills, Rosson replied. Squad members from Flint Hill and Amissville also have shock trauma training that enables them to administer IV's and other treatment under a doctor’s direction as well as cardiac training that raises them almost to the level of a paramedic, according to Rosson. Once communication equipment expands advanced life support coverage, these trained personnel “will respond to requests from other squads throughout the county to minimize expenditures,’’ Rosson said. Flint Hill rescue squadsman Frankie Huff interjected that advanced life support communication was used Sunday afternoon at the scene of a motorcycle accident, enabling the victim to have an IV started on the way to the hospital. "So it works and it works well,” Huff concluded. Advanced life support offered by people trained in shock trauma increases an accident victim’s chances of survival by 90 percent, according to Paul Poling, Rappahannock’s EMS representative. Rescue personnel can get instructions from a doctor while enroute to the hospital. “If you don’t have that, you don’t have much of anything,” he maintained. Huff read a letter of support for the EMS Council endorsement from the Flint Hill Fire and Rescue Squad signed by president H. S. Barksdale. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey barely finished his motion for approval of the endorsement letter before supervisor H. B. Wood suggested the matter be tabled. “If the federal government drops its funding, how much will we have to pick up?” Wood asked, flipping through the packet of information provided by Rosson. “1 wouldn't like to vote on it today until I go over this and read it.” “That’s fine but I'd like to point out that the letter commits you to nothing except philosophical support,” Rosson replied. Gilkey repeated his motion to endorse the EMS program, noting that it has been a help to the county's fire and rescue squads. He emphasized that the endorsement does not bind the supervisors to providing any funds. “Well, that’s what they say. I’d still like to review it_I don’t see how one month’s delay will hurt,” Wood said. Gilkey’s motion for endorsement died for lack of second. A second motion to table the matter until the board’s August^ meeting passed unanimously. In earlier action, the board in a split decision named vice-chairman Dick Latham as acting chairman to serve until the annual reorganization meeting in January. Gilkey voted against the motion, maintaining that Latham would have more authority if he were appointed chairman instead of just acting chairman. Latham opposed his own nomination since the action would leave the board without chairman or vice-chairman in his absence. With Latham expecting to be out of the county during the first week of August, the supervisors moved their regular monthly meeting date from the first to the second Monday of next month, August 10. All-Stars Take 2nd Two county boys, Jeff Porter and Mike Atkins, played on the Skyline AllStar team that was runner-up in the Lane Babe Ruth League’s 4th annual baseball tournament held last weekend in Charlottesville. In the First game on Friday, Bennie Eddins, son of Rappahannock’s former ASCS manager Tom Eddins, went the distance for Skyline’s all-stars against a strong Peachtree team, pitching a three hitter, striking out 10 and walking only two to pick up a 7-4 win. In the second game of the day. Skyline lost 9-5 to the eventual tournament winner, Lane. Dropped into the losers bracket by the defeat, Skyline came back to beat Orange on Saturday afternoon by a score of 7-2. Later that evening at 8:15 p.m.. Skyline took on South Augusta in a hard fought contest that saw the score tied at 3-3, 4-4 and 5-5 after seven complete innings. After tallying four runs in the top of the eighth, Skyline held off a late surge by South Augusta to end the game at 11:30 p.m., 9-8. On Sunday, the Skyline team again traveled to Charlottesville to do battle with the Lambeth League team. Bennie Eddins did another outstanding job on the mound, going the distance and giving up one hit, striking out tin, walking four and allowing no earned runs. Jeff Porter contributed two singles to the 5-2 victory that put Skyline in a rematch with Lane for the championship. The toll of playing five games in three days showed i on Skyline players in the final i contest. Both the starting and relief pitchers had problems i with control. Porter came in < at the fourth inning and ] pitched until the bottom of the fifth when the game was called because of heavy rain with Lane the winner, 9-1. The Skyline Junior Babe Ruth League for 14-year-olds was formed this year with three teams from Madison, two from Greene and one from Rappahannock. Coaches for the all-star team were Richie Burke from Rappahannock, Tom Eddins and Greg Fisher. Graduated From JMU Donna F.

Letters To The Editor EMS Council Thanks Participants In Airport Mock Disaster To the editor: The RappahannockRapidan Emergency Medical Services Council would like to express its gratitude for the support extended by all participants in the Mock Disaster Exercise staged at T. I. Martin Airport in Culpeper County June 28. Special thanks go to Mervin Bray, airport manager and the Culpeper Airport Commission for their cooperation and community spirit in donating the airport facilities for the exercise. The victims of the mock airplane Appreciation Dear Editor: Once again, Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan have provided a very fitting climax, at their home, Avon Hall, to the July Fourth celebration that is earning Rappahannock's County seat, Washington, widening interest in Virginia’s Northern Neck and even the other, younger Washington. The fireworks were handsome and not without cost and the earlier entertainment took time, thought, and energy, all for the enjoyment of the largest crowd I have seen on the grounds of Avon Hall. I hope the Carrigans felt repaid for their generosity. My wife and I are very appreciative of it. WjALDRON O’CONNOR More Appreciation To the editor: I would like to publicly thank all those who helped make the 3rd Annual Fourth of July Antique Car Show a success. Special thanks must go to John B. Morgan of Woodville, whose fine collection of unusual and well preserved cars really made the show. Thanks also to "Junior” Baldwin of Sperryville, (who spent most of the night before getting all of J.B.’s cars running cleaned up), Grace Sims (1953 MGTD), Mike Brown (B & B Service Station - 1953 Plymouth, 3rd prize), Kermit Weakley (1950 Plymouth) and Sam Gifton (1953 Studebaker). First prize was awared to J. B. Morgan’s 1956 Thunderbird and second prize went to Junior Baldwin’s 1936 Ford roadster. Next year we are hoping to put together an even bigger show and hope all these local cars will be back again. Thanks again for your support. DAVE KONICK crash, portrayed by students and their families from the LPN Class at Piedmont Technical Education Center and by several members of the Fauquier County Boy Scouts, did a remarkable job of providing the emotions so vitally important for adding realism to the problem. Thanks must also go to Mrs. Barbara Ellington of Piedmont Technical Education Center for the donation of her time in organization and make-up of Let Us Write For Life To The Editor: May I suggest that it will be more in the spirit of the July 4th season (the main thrust of which was right to ^fe and trust in God) if we Wrote to our representatives in defense of life than of death to millions of helpless unborn children, via abortions. Even the most ardent original supporters of legal abortions have given up the biological nonsense that aborting is like clipping a tonsil. May I emphasize that all, and I do mean all, scientific evidence proves that life begins at conception and the fetus is a real human being, with those characteristics which distinguish it from any other body organ. The fetus: A-At 4 weeks has a different blood type and different heart beat (which is used to predict its sex) from that of the mother. B-At 7 weeks it has a complete cardial system and a humanlike face. C-At 12 weeks it hs legs that can kick, a mouth tha can swallow liquids and suck its thumb; all characteristics of a human being. The obvious facts are, that just as the court of a mideighteen hundreds, ignored the biological fact that a black man is just as truly human as those of any color, and declared him a chattel, to be used to the convenience of others, the present court has ignored the established humanity of the fetus and declared its continued existence subject to the convenience of the mother. The AMA vote for abortion was in contradiction to the testimony of its members, and i not the first time that politics and profits .(abortions are a multi-billion dollar busines) reflected on the AMA’s record. A. WILLIS DEARING Huntly the victims. Sheriff Robert Peters and his staff, the staff of Culpeper Memorial Hospital and Fauquier Hospital, Bill Gravely and Rodger Baker are to be commended for their enthusiastic support. We would also like to thank Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department and Central Fidelity Bank in Culpeper for providing transportation of the victims to the site. We would like, also, to emphasize that this exercise involved an unprecedented 10 of the 15 volunteer rescue squads from all five counties of Planning District 9: Culpeper County Rescue Squad and Richardsville Volunteer Fire and Rescue; Cedar Run Volunteer Rescue; Marshall Volunteer Rescue; Remington Volunteer Fire and Rescue; The Plains Volunteer Firfc Department and Warrenton Volunteer Rescue Squad; Madison County Rescue Squad; Orange County Rescue Squad; and Amissville Volunteer Fire and Rescue from Rappahannock County. Both Culpeper Memorial and Fauquier Hospitals were active participants in the drill as was the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department. Certainly, no pretense is made that we can prepare Support Appreciated To The Editor; The staff and board of directors of Sursum Corda School wish to thank members of the community who made our first annual Antique and All-Out Auction a success. We appreciate the excellent coverage provided by the Rappahannock News. Pali Delevitt and her assistant Kathryn Treanor took the organizing initiative and primary responsibility. The Rappahannock National Bank consented to our using their adjoining lot and John Walker Jenkins volunteered his professional skill as auctioneer. Lynne Baines and scores of others too numbous to mention donated their time on July 4th. And last, but first, our thanks to the many individuals who gave us items and services to be auctioned. This benefit for the school earned us approximately SI,000 which will be used for purchase of playground equipment and for the building fund. DIANA W. BIRD totally for all contingencies in a mass casualty situation—there are just too many variables. However, a basic plan of action can be formulated in dealing with most forms of disaster. The desire to develop this type of community protection, like most goals of emergency medical services organizations, is motivated by the fact that our volunteers care about the community in which they reside. The squads, hospitals and organizations that participated in the Sunday’s drill are to be commended for this reason: they care enough to realize that we all can improve in our preparation for the inevitable, that we are not too proud to say “we are not prepared for everything and should practice and train for something we hope will never . happen”. the drill Sunday proved that there are some very capable individuals and organizations in our region. It also proved that we need further training and planning to be best prepared for a real disaster situation. The RappahannockRapidan EMS Council regrets any inconvenience caused by use of the airport facilities on Sunday. We feel certain, however, that these two hours of inconvenience may prove to be a productive investment in the future safety and well-being of our community. Perhaps the biggest thanks of all should go to the citizens of PD-9 for their support of emergency medical services and to our squads and hospitals for caring enough to participate. H. J. BOND JR. President, RREMSC GARY B. ROSSON Coordinator, RREMSC Culpeper Duck Stamp Contest Opens The annual "Duck Stamp" contest, the only art contest regularly sponsored by the Federal Government, opened yesterday. The contest is for waterfowl art destined to adorn the 1982-83 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp. Revenues from the sales of the "Duck Stamp" are used to acquire critically needed habitat for ducks, geese, and other species of migratory waterfowl. During the competition held last year, more than 1,500 artists submitted entries in the contest. The judging this year will be held on November 5, 1981 at the Department of the Estes Named Supervisor (Continued from PUge 1) he went to public schools here for 10 years before graduating from RandolphMacon Academy. Estes also attended VPI. He’s an active member of the Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department and a former member of the county Jaycees. From 1962-1971, Estes was sheriff of Rappahannock County. He served from 1977 to the present on the county's board of zoning appeals and since 1979 as the BZA’s representative on the planning commission. Within a minute or two of his appointment, Estes was sworn in, bonded and seated at the supervisors’ table, a full-fledged member of the board. Later in the meeting, he was unanunously voted the supervisor representative to the planning commission. His replacement on the board of zoning appeals will be made by Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson. Correction Mr. and Mrs. Roy Alther of Sperryville are also parties to the legal challenge brought against the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals over the issuance of a special *use permit and variance to Carson Johnson. The Rappahannock News regrets the omission of their names from the report of the suit in last week’s paper. The June 25 issue of the Rappahannock News in the land transfers should have read: Hazel Burke to Carlton A. Gannon and wife, 0.0789 acres, Jackson District. $50.00. The price had been incorrectly stated. 4th Enjoyed Editor: My wife, son and I were fortunate to be able to attend the July 4th celebration held in Washington on Saturday. It was good to participate with others in this observance of our nation’s birthday in a way that has been forgotten by so many communities. So many now look to their television sets as they sit back and relish their favorite refreshments rather than attend a celebration somewhere and physically share their spirit of patriotism. Washington should feel pride in their community spirit and the contribution of its people. Especially pointed out should be the unselfish sharing of a beautiful display of fireworks over the grounds of Avon Hall, the delicious dinner prepared and told by the Rappahannock County Volunteer Fire Department membership and the demonstration of horsemanship conducted by members of the Rappahannock Hunt. They all gave up something in order to give pleasure to others for the day. Thank you for a good 4th of July Independence Day celebration that really made you feel good to be an American. FRANCIS L. EDENS JR. MARY FRANCES and ERICH EDENS Culpeper Interior Auditorium beginning at 9 a.m. It is open to the public. Most contest rules remain the same as last year, except that the deadline for submissions has been moved up to October 1, 1981 to allow time for the handling and preparation of the increasing number of entries. Artist interested in submitting an entry should write the Audio-Visual Office, U.S. Fish and Wild Service, Department of the Interior, Washington D.C. 20240, for copies of the contest rules, reproduction rights agreement and entry form.

Culpeper Turns Thumbs Down On Shared Dispatch Service (Continued from Page 1) take. “But if we don’t have communications, we don’t have emergency services, period,” Poling said. Money for communications equipment may be available from the Rescue Squad Assistance Fund if the county makes a grant request by September 15, he told the supervisors. “But that’s only one part. The dispatch center has to be staffed in some shape or form.” When Culpeper’s intention to discontinue free dispatch service was first announced, Rappahannock’s Fire and Rescue Association proposed setting up a communications system here in the county. The estimated $60,000 price tag included one halftime and four full-time dispatchers operating under the Rappahannock sheriff's department and handling police as well as fire and rescue calls. The state compensation board which pays law en forcemeat salaries did not react favorably to bearing the cost for four dispatchers to dispatch three deputies, however. Sharing a dispatch service and its costs is "the most economical way" for Culpeper and Rappahannock, to proceed “but they don’t want any part of it,” Poling concluded. "Why do you think they’ve taken this position?” asked supervisor H. B. Wood.

Virginia 22853 Association maintained earlier that the dispatch system can’t handle efficiently the 525 or so calls per year from Rappahannock, particularly with service instituted for two new Culpeper units. “They say because of an overload from Rappahannock calls,” Poling reported. He maintained that service could be provided to both counties if trained dispatchers processed the calls instead of the matrons and jailers of the Culpeper sheriffs department who currently staff the communications center. In addition, he noted that approximately 60 percent of Amissville’s fire and rescue calls are run in Culpeper County. According to Poling, Culpeper sheriff Robert Peters hasn’t taken a position in the dispatch controversy. “The sheriff doesn’t want to get involved...He likes his job and elections are coming up.” Panthers Put 6 On All-Stars The Golden Panthers of Rappahannock completed their first season last week with a record of eight wins and four losses. Sponsored by Eldon Farms, the Golden Panthers are. affiliated with the Rappahannock Athletic Association and played in the newly formed tri-county league organized by the RAA and groups from Madison and Greene counties. The Panthers are coached by Gary Leake with assistance from Tim Williams and Roy Jenkins. From the-opening day of practice, Leake emphasized hard work, dedication, hustle and most of all, the will to win. “Through these four goals, the Golden Panthers truly experienced success, not only through physical ability but also through mental ability by focusing on desire and sportsmanship,” the coach said. The team is composed of 12 very talented 13-year-olds. The Golden Panthers had one of the league’s top pitching staffs in speedsters Chucky Jenkins, Craig Williams and Tony Williams. Defensively, they received nearly errorless play from David Herndon, Jeff Burke, Chris Williams, Troy Jenkins, Gary Jenkins, Warren Ellis, Bobby Huff and the dynamic duo of Rob Brown and Henry B. Wood, their coach reported. Offensively, the Golden Panthers were extremely powerful and consistent with no starter batting under .335. As a team, they batted an excellent .408 and had a slugging percentage of over .750, according to Leake. At the end of the season, Tennis Finals The rescheduled women’s doubles and mixed doubles finals of the Rappahannock Recreation Center’s tennis tournament will be played this weekend at Dr. Werner Krebser’s courts in Huntly. On Saturday at 1 p.m., the team of Rod Kirkpatrick and Jean Lillard will take on Diane Bruce and Bobby Gchringer. Sunday’s 9 a.m. women's final will see Teresa McLawhorn and Ruth Baumgardner facing Jean Lillard and Diane Bruce. ++++ THE fullness of life does not come from the things outside us; we ourselves must create the beauty in which we live. —C.

The decision to stop fire and rescue dispatch for Rappahannock was primarily instigated by a single member of Culpeper’s Fire and Rescue Association, according to Poling. In answer to a question from new supervisor Charles Estes, Poling acknowledged that fire and rescue units are dispatched by sheriffs departments in neighboring counties. Sheriff Dispatch Proposed “Well, that solves the problem,’’ said Estes, suggesting that the same arrangement be instituted here. To man a dispatch center, the sheriffs department would require additional personnel, countered Gary Rosson, director of the COACH GARY LEAKE huddles with his Golden Panthers before an important game.

He noted that Culpeper is the only area jurisdiction using matrons and jailers rather than trained personnel as dispatchers. Estes pointed to Sperryville’s fire department as an example of a well-run operation that does not rely on trained dispatchers. “We’re not associated with any system and it works very well—better," he maintained. Ethel Clater receives all fire calls and sounds the fire alarm. If there’s no response, she calls the volunteer firemen at work or at home until she rouses enough personnel to answer the emergency, according to Estes. “The Culpeper dispatchers set the tone off but they could care less whether anyone answers,” the Piedmont supervisor said. Poling responded that the siren is sounded at least twice and if there’s no response, the dispatcher alerts other fire and rescue units. Supervisor Wood proposed finding volunteers in other Rappahannock communities to set up systems similar to Sperryville’s. “If you’re unclear on directions or get lost, how do you get additional directions (after the fire trucks are on the road)?” Rosson asked Estes. Occasionally, Sperryville has to ask Madison’s or Culpeper’s dispatcher for help “but it’s a very rare occasion that we don’t get complete directions,” Estes replied. He repeated his position that if the county is going to provide its own communication system for emergency services, it should be handled through the sheriffs department. (Currently, the Rappahannock sheriff’s department receives free dispatching from Culpeper as well as through Virginia State Police. According to Sheriff Peters, this arrangement can continue regardless of any action by that county’s fire and rescue association to discontinue dispatch service to emergency medical and fire units here.) “Does the board have any objections to a county dispatch system?” asked Estes after his appointment as supervisor representation to work with Poling on a solution to the problem. “Are you opposed to Rappahannock County carrying its own weight?” Cost A Factor “I want to know something about how much it costs,” Wood responded, again suggesting further efforts toward a dual county dispatch system. “That’s beating a dead horse!” interjected Flint Hill fireman Frankie Huff.

How many times do we have to have no—a flat no—said to us?” he asked. “We’re dangling at the end of a rope and we’re just about ready to choke to death,” added Poling. He acknowledged, however, that the state compensation board probably will not approve the four and a half full-time positions cited by the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association as needed for a county communications system to dispatch three deputies. “I don’t think we’d require a full-time dispatcher,” said Estes, maintaining that the jailer could handle police, fire and rescue calls at least part of the day. “You all might be able to work out the same situation that Sperryville has,” Wood told Estes. “That works well.” “It works well for Sperryville but we had it in Chester Gap and it did not work for us,” countered supervisor Hubert Gilkey. “We did it in Amissville for 20 years,” added Poling. But then the fire house was moved and the same person who handled dispatch calls “24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year” suffered a decline in health, he said. “I don’t think we can ask someone to volunteer to sit around a house for 24 hours a day (to take dispatch calls).” “Maybe you’d have to find two people, maybe seven,” countered Wood. Gilkey replied that costs of running phone lines to each volunteer’s house would have to be carried by the already financially strapped fire and rescue companies. Poling added that Sperryville's emergency units can be dispatched more easily by a volunteer because the area served by the company is covered by a single phone exchange, eliminating long dist^ice calling. ‘‘I don’t think the county can afford three, four or five full-time dispatchers,” Wood maintained. “I don’t think we can either but I don’t see why it can’t be handled here the way it has for years and years and years,” said Estes, pointing to the jail. The new supervisor agreed to investigate options for a county dispatch system and report back to the board. ecu nm noni/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes .
