Chairman Beverly Massie reported that she and School Superintendent Robert Estabrook had met with representatives from the highway department who told them the board must have some sort of formal plans for building a new bus shop. Massie reported that highway personnel admitted the department has no plans now to proceed with widening the section of Route 211 that would take in the bus shop, but said if the funds should become available in the Culpeper office they have 30 days to let out bids. “In a month or 60 days we’d have to get out and have another building to move into,” Massie reported. She asked if board members would agree to having the matter put on the agenda for a fall meeting. The board had decided to locate the new building behind the current one, she noted. “Metal buildings don’t take a long time to construct. It would be good to get expert help to know what ball figure we're talking about,” she said. Board member Newbill Miller objected, “They haven’t even gone through the condemnation process for 90 percent of the property. Sixty days is long enough when it’s four or five years Council Approves Town Financial Statement By THERESA REYNOLDS Rap|Nihannock ’Sr»* Staff Writer Four members of the Washington Town Council met last Wednesday to discuss the right-of-way problems for hooking up the new town well to the system, and to receive the town financial statement from treasurer Brad Fisher. Present at the regularlyscheduled August meeting were Newbill Miller, Charlie Jenkins, Fisher and Taylor Updike. Absent were members Dorothy Clater, Dorothy Hawkins and C. E. Giles. Mayor Newbill Miller said that a verbal agreement had been reached with Henry Anderson, the CloptonAnderson family spokesman, to grant the right-of-way to the town in exchange for 10 hook-ups to the town water system at some time in the future. This agreement would be subject to health department approval. Miller described the right-of-way as a 20-footwide strip of land that runs on the edge of the Clopton property out Blue Ridge Avenue near the former McDaniels residence. The major said that he was waiting for a written confirmation of the terms, but that it seemed to be settled. Treasurer Brad Fisher sifbmitted the town financial statement as well as that of the Washington Water Works. In response to Miller’s comment that "this is not as bad as I thought,” Fisher responded that construction of the new town well would be on the next year's statement. Specific items were singled out for discussion. Fisher said that the $403 for billing the water meter charges could be saved almost completely if the meter reader were to deliver the last month's bills as he read this month's meters. Or, he said, the bills could be sent quarterly. To the second suggestion. Miller replied that it would be a burden on the townspeople to pay the larger sum less often. The major, as well as the other council members (Continued on Page 8) down the road.” “We have to go ahead," Massie replied. “We can say we know what type of building we want and have talked with companies that can build it.” The highway department has confirmed its agreement to rent the building for 5100 per month but “We don’t have a lease agreement now,” she noted. “I think we should select the type of building and get estimates and leave it at that,” Miller said. The discussion was set for the November or December meeting. Concerned Parents At last week’s meeting the board also heard from Robert Dennis who said he represented a “group of parents concerned about the future of public education in Rappahannock County which has been meeting throughout the summer.” He said he wanted to “commend the board for its action on teacher salaries to reduce the rate of turnover...Now we want you to go to work deligently to improve the plant, especially at the high school. Dennis noted that some have complained there has been “too much emphasis on emotion and too little on (Continued on Page 8) At Elementary School Piper Promoted To Principal After a long executive session Monday morning, the Rappahannock school board announced the appointment of Margarita Piper as elementary principal to replace Graham Spencer who resigned earlier this month. Piper served as assistant principal of the elementary school for the 1980-81 year. A native of Lynchburg, she received her bachelor’s degree in education from Mary Wahsington College in Fredericksburg and her eduation specialist and master’s degrees from the University of Virginia. Piper taught second and third grade for five years at Sycamore Park Elementary School in Culpeper and was director of the reading lab there for another five years. Before entering the field of education, whe spent 14 years with C&P Telephone at the utility company’s Washington, D. C. office, first as service representative, then administrative assistant to the division manager and finally as manager of the training and business offices. Between her stint at C&P and the start of her teaching career, she spent eight years at home rearing a family. She and her husband Glenn have two children, Mark, valedictorian of his 1981 class at Culpeper County High School, who will Rappahannock New** Photo/Daphne Hntchinwtn MRS. MARGARITA PIPER, former assistant principal at Rappahannock Elementary School, was named principal on Monday by the county school board. be entering an honors program at the University of North Carolina on a fouryear ROTC scholarship, and Susan, who will be a senior at CCHS. Reading Specialist Piper’s special area of expertise is in reading. While running the University of Virginia’s reading center, the McGuffey Clinic, as part of a graduate study’s project, she drove five youngsters back and forth from Culpeper to classes there. "I became keenly aware of the need for the same type of facility in Culpeper,” Piper recalled. The following year, she began a summer reading program in the town, with her son Mark, then a sixth grader, as teacher’s aide. Piper soon expanded the curriculum to include all basic subjects in a six week private summer school. Mark, who has helped every year since the summer program began, was joined by his sister and father, a junior high math teacher and principal. “It’s a real family (Continued on Page 3) Baumgardner Fights Centel Rate Hike Rappahannock’s Commonwealth Attorney Douglas Baumgardner is getting ready to play David against a telephone utility Goliath. In a letter to acting Douglas Out On $3,000 Bond At a hearing last Thursday. Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson set trial for Ernest Lee Douglas for September 23 and released the ' Richmond resident on $3,000 bond. Douglas is charged with the malious wounding of Peter Marx in an incident that occurred November 18, 1979, near Washington. Charges were nol prossed last March when Marx refused to appear in court to testify against his alleged assailant. Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner reactivated the malicious wounding charges earlier this month, calling a special grand jury into session after Douglas returned to Rappahannock from the Richmond area. Douglas is also charged with trespass after he allegedly moved into Marx's weekend cottage upon his return to the county. No trial date has been set on the second matter. As a condition of his release, Douglas was expressly ordered to be of good behavior, obey the laws of the commonwealth and not have any contact with Marx, Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin, Commonwealth’s attorney Baumgardner or personnel from the Chesterfield Mental Health Clinic. He was also ordered not to go on Marx’s Rappahannock property. Also in Circuit court on Thursday, Charles Longerbeam of Sterling and Richard Courtney of Berryville pled guilty on charges of felonious escape from a road crew working in Rappahannock on April 21. Judge Robertson asked for a pre-sentence report and set' sentencing of the two men for November 9. Longerbeam, 27, was serving a ten year sentence, five years suspended, for distribution of a controlled drug. Courtney, 32, was serving 90 months on eight charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny. supervisor chairman J. (U Latham dated August 14, Baumgardner announces his intention to appear before the State Corporation Commission on behalf of the people of Rappahannock County to oppose the rate increase application from Central Telephone Company (Centel). This week Centel filed a rate application that will increase the company's annual revenues by $8.5 million, or about 10.7 per cent. Charges for local access rates, or what customers pay for their telephone lines, will go up an average of 23 percent under the proposal. According to Centel’s vice president Daryl Ferguson, that works out to about a 4.6 percent increase per year since the utility’s last rate increase was approved in December, 1976. In his letter to Latham, Baumgardner notes the many problems county citizens have with Centel’s service. “These problems include, but are not limited to, excessive rates for toll calls, an excessive number of toll calls (particularly on the “675” exchange), obsolete equipment, unconscionable delays in terms of providing telephone service for both private and business purposes and frequent poor connections and or frequent cut-offs in telephone connections, especially during inclement weather." Baumgardner points out that Centel’s long distance telephone calling capability frequently fails to operate leaving citizens in a potentially life threatening situation. He notes that calls for local fire and rescue services often are placed throught a dispatcher in Culpeper by long distance telephone. "Breakdowns in the ability of this county's citizens to place long distance calls therefore pose a potential danger to human life and to private property,” he maintains. Duty To Provide Baumgardner notes that the Virginia Code provides that it shall “be the duty of every public utility to furnish reasonably adequate service and facilities at reasonable and just rates to any person, firm or corporation along its lines...” In his letter Rappahannock's commonwealth’s attorney attributes his opposition to Centel’s rate request to the utility’s failure to provide county citizens with this “reasonably adequate service.” Despite Centel's recent actions in establishing “Circle Ca|ling" and “TelePlan", serious problems persist in the telephone service provided Rappahannock, according to Baumgardner. If Centel wants to avoid opposition to its rate increase application, he maintains, it must pledge itself to further initiatives designed to improve service here. “I take the position, subject to my review of Centel's complete application, that the rates, practices, charges and services provided by Centel to the people of Rappahannock County are unreasonable, unjust, insufficient and discreminatory and that, if any rate increase is granted to Centel, same should be conditioned on the provision of better service," Baumgardner states. I would welcome written confirmation or description of any service problems the public has encountered with Centel,” The commonwealth’s attorney told the Rappahannock News adding that responses should be addressed to him at P.O. Box 235, Washington, Va. 22747. Rates Equal To Costs According to a press release from Centel, one of the major thrusts of the company’s rate proposal is to bring rates and charges more in line with costs. “For example, we're now charging only about half of what it costs usi to install phones.” Centel vicepresident Ferguson maintained. "Under our proposal, service connection charges would increase to cover costs." Ferguson said local basic monthly phone rates have stayed at the 1976 level for so long because Centel has found more efficient ways to operate its business. "We're proud of the productivity improvements and cost saving programs that have allowed us to keep existing rates for such an extended period," he said. “We’re serving 30,000 more phones today with 35 less employees than we had in 1976 but we’ve reached the point where we need a rate increase to continue providing quality service to our customers.” According to Ferguson, Centel has increased its investment in equipment and (Continued on Page 2) f Rappahannock New# Photo/S. I athawi TRANSPORTATION SUPERINTENDENT^for the Rappahannock County School System, Allie Huff of Washington, through his mechanical expertise, assures minimal problems and economical operation of the fleet of school vehicles. A Allie Ifuff Keeps The Fleet Running By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON RapiMhaniMK-k Nr». Staff * rilrr Big yellow school buses will roll again next Thursday, carrying loads of Rappahannock youngsters to the start of classes for the 198182 school year. While the buses have set idle all summer, transportation superintendent AH>e Huff has been anything but. During his summer "vacation,” Huff has gone over his 21 bus fleet with a fine tooth comb to ensure that when the engines turn over Thursday morning, they'll turn over in vehicles that are as safe as’ he can possibly make them. "It would be a right smart job if I didn’t do anything but take the wheels off," said Huff, explaining that he pulls every wheel on each bus unless the vehicle is new or has recently had its brakes replaced. He keeps detailed maintenance charts on every bus, checking the written record rather than his memory for information on when they were last serviced. “We go over everything,” Huff emphasized, ticking off a long list: grease jobs, oil change, windshield wipers, lights, horn, practically every moving part in the vehicle. And some that don't move. In addition to a check-up that covers bus operation, Huff gets out the vacuum cleaner, rags and detergent. Each bus gets a summer cleaning that would put many a housewife’s spring project to shame. Some require less attention than others, according to Huff. Driver Roberta Jenkins brings her bus back from its daily run cleaner than the vehicle was when new. Likewise. John Eubanks is a first rate “bus keeper,” the transportation superintendent said. In addition to the maintenance of 21 buses. Huff is also responsible for the upkeep on the rest of the school fleet. It includes cars assigned to the superintendent, assistant superintendent and both principals, a dump truck, van, station wagon for transportation of special education and handicapped students and two bottom-of-the-line rattle traps that are used by the bus drivers to get back and forth between runs. On top of that, Huff drives the bus that picks up youngsters in the town of Washington. “I haul more kids than any other bus here." he noted of his short, busy run. Safety Regulations il In order to help Allie Huff and his drivers keep Rappahannock's bus fleet running smoothly and safely, parents are asked to go over the following common sense regulations with their children; —The driver is in complete charge and has authority to assign seats at his or her discretion. Follow the driver’s instructions at all times. —Take a seat without crowding or pushing and remain seated while the bus is in motion. —Be courteous. Refrain from usinft indecent language. —Do not fight, scuffle or throw things. —Help keep the bus clean. Do not eat or drink on the bus. —Do not throw objects from the windows. —Never mar or deface the bus. Damage must be paid for by the student if responsibility can be ascertained. —Smoking, lighting matches or any other unsafe act is forbidden. —Tobacco, firearms, knives, live animals or any other item not allowed in school should not be brought on the bus. —Riding a bus other than the student’s normal X bus or getting off at other than the normal stop must have the school principal’s permission. —Be at the bus stop on time. Do not stand in the roadway while waiting and stay on the left shoulder of the road, facing oncoming traffic, while walking to the bus stop. In crossing the highway, walk, don’t run, and cross in front of the bus, never behind it. —Students who fail to comply with these regulations or who exhibit improper behavior in any other manner may be denied the privilege of riding the school bus. Huff, a native of Rappahannock, drove a regular bus route for ten years before beginning work as a mechanic in 1962. He doesn't recall exactly when he was made transportation superintendent and isn’t overly impressed with the title. “It was when Mutt (Atkins) quit. Whenever that was. That I didn't want. It's more or less just a name." Huffs title as transportation superintendent might be mostly honorary but there's no doubt as to his skills as a mechanic. Working in a drafty, run down bus shop, lying on his back on a cement floor that’s colder than ice in the winter. Allie has kept the bus fleet running smoothly. It's a tribute to his talents that when the sheriffs department got county cars last year, the first place Sheriff W. A. Buntin looked for a mechanic was the school bus shop. He’s proud of the safety record his buses and drivers have set. noting that he can't remember when any of the fleet’s vehicles were involved in an accident. “This county’s been pretty lucky.” Huff maintained, playing (Continued on Pq£e 3)

Temperature not controlled » Anything Can Be Pickled By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Nr»« Staff Writer Now is the time for pickling vegetables, making relishes and searching for favorite local recipes for preserving vegetables with vinegar, salt, or a vinegarsugar mixture. As Rappahannock cooks prove, almost any vegetable or fruit can be made into a pickle. Folklore has it that the Chinese invented pickling centuries ago: the Chinese laborers who worked on the Great Wall of China carried salted vegetables with them to their work. In this country pickling has been an important feature of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking—in fact, the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch meal is supposed to contain “seven sweets and seven sours”. Pickling is not difficult, but if you've never done it before there are some guidelines: —Use only tender truits or vegetables that are in prime condition. Produce should not be more than twenty-four hours old and should be refrigerated or cooled immediately after picking. This is especially important for cucumbers, which deteriorate rapidly after picking at room temperature. You may. if you wish, sort the produce for size. —Do not use any fruits or vegetables for pickling whole that have mold damage or are injured. Damaged ones can be cut up for relishes or, in the case of cucumbers, sliced for bread and butter pickles, with the injured or moldy part being cut out and discarded. Although proper processing does kill the spoilage organisms in moldy parts, an off-flavor will develop from the mold growth that cannot be masked by spices or herbs. —Fruits and vegetables should be washed thoroughly under running water. Scrub the food with a soft brush or with the palms of your hands. The <*rock pickles pictured were made by Karen Bear. She told us that they were also called German pickles and that her recipe came from Mrs. Kermit Weakley of Washington. Mrs. Weakley said that her recipe came, years ago, from Irene Kryser. Rinse well so that all soil drains off. — When picking cucumbers, cut theip from the vines, leavin^ashort bit of stem on the fjruit. If pulled off the vines, they are likely to rot where the stem was broken from the skin. —Vinegar should be a good grade of 40 to 60 grain strength (4 to 6 percent acetic acid). Twelve-Day German Pickle First Day - Gather 3 gallons of fresh cucumbers. Wash and put in brine strong enough to float an egg. Leave in brine for six dajrs. Seventh Day - Drain off brine and cover cucumbers with boiling water. Eighth Day - Cut pickle in cubes about one inch. Cover with boiling water to which has been added two ounces of powered alum. Ninth Day - Drain off alum solution and cover pickle with boilding water. Tenth Day - Boil together 3 quarts of vinegar, two ounces of cinnamon sticks, one and one-half ounces of celery seeds, 8 pounds of sugar. Boil together and pour over pickle. Eleventh Day - Drain vinegar mixture, boil and pour back over pickle. Twelfth Day - Repeat the process of boiling vinegar mixture and pour over pickle. When cold they are ready to store away in glass jars. Louise Anderson of Culpeper makes 7-day pickles and then uses the vinegar and spice mixture left over to pickle her beets! Phone Service “Unreasonable” (Continued from Page 1) ' property over 50 percent, or some $88 million, since the end of 1976. In addition, expenses for operation and Freezing Not The Only Option Homemakers who plan to preserve food this summer should remember freezing and canning are not their only options. Food also can be dried. One of the oldest methods of preserving food, drying has gained popularity. Professionally dried foods are lightweight so backpackers, cyclists and similar sports enthusiasts often find them convenient to carry. Trim away inedible and damaged portions, cut into halves and strips or slices that will dry readily. A general guide is that pieces should be one-eighth to onefourth inch thick. Fruits and vegetables contain certain enzymes that are responsible for their ripening. These enzymes cause color and flavor changes, some of which may become more extensive when food surfaces are cut and exposed to air. The changes continue during drying and storage unless the enzyme activity is stopped. Pretreatment, such as antioxidant coating and-or blanching, will retard or stop enzyme action. Vegetables usually are blanched — placed into rapidly boiling water for one to three minutes of cooking—before drying. Spread the prepared vegetable or fruit on a tray in a thin layer, not more than half an inch deep. A single layer speeds drying. Turn the food occasionally. In an oven or dehydrator, trays need to be shifted around every half hour or so. as those near the top and bottom dry the fastest. Fruits are dried to 16 to 25 percent moisture content: vegetables to less than 12 percent for satisfactory storage. Most fruits may be dehydrated in six to 20 hours; vegetables in four to 12 hours. Times vary. To test food for dryness, remove a handful and allow to cool for a few minutes. Warm foods will seem softer, more moist and more pliable than they actually are. Most foods should be conditioned for a week after drying to equalize the moisture content. To condition. place dried fruit in a glass or plastic container and in a warm, dry. wellventilated protected area. Stir the food each day. After conditioning, pack the food as tightly as possible THE RAPPAHANNOCK CHORAL SOCIETY Invites you to a season of musical enjoyment.

Store in a cool, drv. dark place. To refresh vegetables, soak in cold water for 20 minutes to two hours. Bring vegetables to a boil and simmer until done. maintenance have gone up over 50 percent. Also in 1981, the company expects to spend more than $27 million on construction projects to serve Centel’s 153,000 customers in 31 Virginia counties. After receiving Centel's August 13 rate application, the State Corporation Commission will schedule public hearings and then take the case under investigation with an order deciding the fate of the application expected within 150 days. Centel anticipates that the new rates will go into effect in January 1982, according to the utility's press release. 7-Day Cucumber Pickle 10 medium cucumbers 8 cups sugar 2 tbs. mixed pickling spices 5 tsp. salt 4 cups vinegar Put cucumbers in kettle and cover with boiling water. Let stand over night. Next morning, drain and repeat for three days. On the fifth day drain and cut into desired size. Combine sugar, salt, spices and vinegar and bring to a boil. Pour over cucumbers and let stand for two days. On the third day bring to a boil and put in hot sterilized jars and seal. To pickle beets: mix beets that have been cooked, peeled, and sliced with leftover vinegar and spices. Add more vinegar and sugar if necessary to cover. Bring to boil and simmer fifteen minutes.

Piper said she’d worked with junior high aged youngsters this summer who needed help in mathematics. “They didn’t need junior high math-—they needed Quilt Show The annual quilt show at Sully Plantation near Chantilly is scheduled for this Sunday.

Transportation Superintendent Allie Huff (Continued from Page 1) down his part in the bus safety record. “Most of the drivers take their jobs more seriously than they let on,” he said, noting that each bus carries between 60 and 70 youngsters ranging from tiny kindergartners to seniors in high school. “I had a teacher say she didn’t see how we could be expected to make all those kids behave when they couldn’t do it with 30 in a classroom. But all in all, the kids do very well.” The most serious behavioral problem that drivers encounter is trying to control kids who are arguing or fighting on the bus, according to Huff. “There are a few rotten apples in every barrel,” Allie acknowledged. When the trouble makers are called down, they often take their anger out on the bus seats. Huff reported. This destruction of property is one of his pet peeves. “The kids think they’re getting you back when they slice up the seats on your bus but really they’re adding to their • parents’ tax bill,” he said, noting that seat repairs cost almost $3,000 last year and $737 this year. “There isn’t any sense in that. Some of those are brand new buses!” -mtajdbr?* Huff added, his characteristic grin replaced by a disapproving frown. “But I reckon we’re better off here than in a lot of places,” he continued, trying to look on the brighter side. "The man that fixes the seats said you just couldn’t believe what the buses looke like in Richmond. He’s going to bring me a picture of one next time he comes by.” BRIGHT ORANGE SCHOOL BUSES standing in a row await the opening of schools in Rappahannock County next week.

Leaf Miners Attack Locust fcach summer tor tne past few years, the county has been plagued with the locust leaf miner. The insect is widespread and occurs in southern Canada and throughout the eastern United States. Black locust is by far the most favored host species. However, the insect will occasionally feed on birch, beech, cherry, oak, and apple. The reason the black locust gets a browned appearance is that the adult leaf miners and their larvae literally eat the inside of the leaf out. This leaves the appearance of a deadened leaf. Rarely are the insect attacks fatal. Only when extremely poor growing seasons coincide with heavy attacks will an occasional tree die. The damage looks much worse than it actually is. third and fourth grade math!" she said.

She has a great deal of poise.” Piper’s advancement to principal leaves a vacancy in Donations Needed A fund raising project for the Amissville Little League is underway and proceeds will be used to purchase articles like backstops, uniforms and other equipment, according to the group's sponsor, Mrs. Lorraine Early of Early's Carpets. A number of prizes will be given away, including a Yamahahopper, a S500 value; an Oriental rug ; 20 inch portable floor fan; 25 gallons of gasoline; 2 pair Wrangler jeans; vehicle floor mat, free hair styling and free oil change. the assistant principal's position. There’s no great rush to fill that slot, according to Estabrook. He reported that the board will undertake the same type of intensive search that resulted in the hiring of New York native Gerald Lysik as assistant superintendent. Notices of the vacancy were sent to 60 placement organizations, Estabrook noted. "Local folks will be given every opportunity to apply...We need the strongest person we can find. If that person’s already here in the county, great!" the superintendent said, emphasizing that the selection process for assistant principal will be highly competitive. •Paint •Lumber > •Millwork *'i •Hardware Complete One Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass Warrenton 347 1400 MEET MARSHALL COLEMAN The Republican Party of Rappahannock County cordially invites all citizens to a reception at the Courthouse at Washington on Friday, August 21, 1981, at four o’clock in the afternoon for Marshall Coleman, candidate for Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Frantz Treasurer SINGLE-FAMILY HERE TO STAyI Have you gotten the impression that the detached single-family home is being priced out of the market and that it's only a matter of time before most people will be living in apartments and condos? Not by a Iona shot! If you look at the figures for recent years you’ll see that the future for the single family house is quite healthy. In 1974, one of the worst years in this country's housing industry, over 66 percent of new housing starts (887,400) were single family homes. You can see that despite land costs, construction costs, mortgage costs and real estate taxes, the single family home did very well. Yes. it is a luxury. But it’s a luxury that many Americans are willing to sacrifice other luxuries in order to afford. If they bought in one of the worst years in real estate sales history - the year when the Dow Jones sunk to the lowest point in ten years, when unemployment reached a new high along with interest rates and the cost of living, it’s a safe bet that the single family home is here to stay...probably stronger than ever.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 20,1981 Top Apple Crop May Not Bring Top Prices By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahaamrii W Staff Wriirr In past years, local orchardists have suffered from late frosts, early freezes, hail storms, too much rain, too little rain, not enough sun and other plagues that left them paying for the privilege of growing apples and peaches rather than earning a return on their labors. This year, however. Mother Nature has cooperated, at least in Rappahannock. There were no droughts or freezes to interrupt the growing season, no downpours of hail to leave pitted, unmarketable fruit. According to extension agent Rap Owings, the 1981 peach crop is excellent while apples, the county’s biggest money maker, bend tree branches under a bumper load of red and golden delicious, winesaps and staymans. Still, Rappahannock orchardists are postponing their harvest celebrations, holding their breaths ' until the powers that be in the apple world — canneries and processors like National Fruit and Musselman — make their offers for this year’s crop. Optimism, if there is any, is very guarded. "It’s a big question mark. The processors are not going to pay anything more than they have to,’’ remarked Sam Snead. Washington apple grower who’s been an active member and local representative in various marketing and producers’ associations. To date, only rambos and a few other summer varieties are ready for harvest. According to local orchardist Alice Wood, the canneries are paying S3.SO per 100 pounds (2'/i bushesl), only 25 cents more than last year’s price of $3.35. ’’We have a very good crop...We won’t have any trouble disposing of our apples,” said Mrs. Wood. This hasn’t always been true. In recent years, local orchardists haven’t been able to find processors to buy their early apples, no matter what the price. And while the buyers are there this year, Snead isn’t smiling about the SI.40 per bushel his rambos are bringing. "But we have to send them in for that or else let them rot. The big processors are going to steal as many apples as they can. They know the growers aren’t organized.’’ Ioul Harvest Down Demand for Rappahannock's summer apples is up, primarily due to crop damage elsewhere. According to Dr. Calvin Lyons from VPI’s Winchester Fruit Laboratories, the apple harvest nationwide is expected to total 192 million bushels this year compared to 210 million bushels harvested last year, a decline of 756,000,000 pounds of fruit. The major reductions in yield will come in New York and Michigan and to a lesser degree in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, he said. Matched against the nation and the rest of the state, Rappahannock has an excellent crop. Lyons noted. 'To the south of us. it's also excellent but to the north and west, late freezes reduced yields,” he added. Dr. Bob Horsburgh, superintendent of the Fruit Lab. was a little more reticent with his predictions. "Orchardists don’t like us to comment until they get their crop in boxes in the warehouse. It’s like counting your chickens before they hatch. They could still have hail and wind damage but as of now, it looks like Rappahannock has an excellent crop of fruit.” Snead said that he’d heard reports of canneries and ( Rappahannock New* Pkntot/Tcma Reynold* A BUMPER CROP OF APPLES ripe for pickin’ fill the trees in county orchards. processors in the northern states sending representatives down to Rappahannock to check on buying apples here because of reduced harvests in their areas. “There’s a demand. Sure, they want the apples — if you give them to them. It doesn't mean they’re going to pay us a good price. It only means they should,” he said. The Rappahannock orchardist acknowledged that canneries and processor are caught in the same economic squeeze that’s choking businesses throughout the country. “They’re paying more for their labor, for their bottles and cans, for a lot of things...They’re robbing Peter to pay Paul and it's usually the farmer who gets robbed,’’ Snead said. Despite his disappointment in the prices offered by the processors for summer varieties, Snead is cautiously optimistic about the price lists to be announced in September for the more popular apples, the winesaps, golden and red delicious and the like. “We should get a decent price for red delicious packed fresh but I don't look for a big bonanza on processed apples...We’ll get by but it will be a decent return and not a windfall,” he maintained. The quality of this year’s crop will enable producers to sell more at a higher price as fresh fruit rather than to the canneries, Snead added. The Farm Bureau has recommended a price of $8.25 per hundred pounds for canning apples and S5.50 for juice apples. Last year, producers averaged $4 for juicers and $5 for canners, according to Snead. Of course, what the Farm Bureau says would be a fair price and what processors like National Fruit actually offer are two different things and no one will know how different until price lists are mailed to orchardists some time in early September. As of the moment, there are no guesses as to how close the two might be. As Dr. Lyons put it, only half in jest, “Guessing the prices that growers will get for their apples is like playing Russian Roulette.” Parents Can Make School * • 1 Days Easier For Their Children By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A week from today is circled in red on many R-appahannock County calendars as a reminder that buses will roll and children will rise early. For some local youngsters, next Thursday will be the first encounter with school, with other children in groups, with a structured day, or even with just being away from familiar surroundings for six or seven hours. If you are one of those mothers or fathers awaiting that day with a mixture of dread and pride, you may be interested in these words of advice on how to help your child weather the first day of school with confidence. Candy Lamma, one of three Rappahannock Elementary School Kindergarten teacher, said that it’s important for parents to remember that their presence brings on the tears. “I tell my parents to ride the bus with their children but not to come to the classroom. U usually the tears are for their benefit. Mommy hanging around wringing her hands prolongs the time of crying and uncertainty.” Lamma, who has been a Kindergarten teacher here for three years, said that since she began teaching she’s only had two or three real cryers. She said that she tries to be a mothersubstitute for the children and gives the anxious ones some extra reassurance. “They need to know that the teacher is just like their parents for the time they’re here,” she said. "The quicker they accept that we will both tell them what to do and care for them, the quicker they’ll adjust to the new situation.” Lamma said that it helps a reluctant child to point out what friends will be at school or in the same class. Anything familiar is a help to a frightened child. The isolation of rural living sometimes adds to the strain of starting school. “I sometimes have children who have never played with anyone else,” Lamma said. “It’s really rough on them.” “We always hope that parents have been preparing their children all along,” Lamma said. “The idea of sharing, or playing with other children in a cooperative way, of using manners; all these are things that parents should have generally taught." Lamma also had some practical advice on dress for helping children enjoy their first year of school: "Shoes are sometimes a problem. Children should have clothes and shoes that are comfortable. Tennis shoes are fine - high heels are not Long dresses on little girls are definitely not comfortable or safe." If your child has one or two years before starting Kindergarten, there are some things you can do now to make that time easier. Camille Harris, director of Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center, listed for us some of the skills that parents can start to teach now in their young children: Sharing - this is a very important concept for young children to learn, according to Harris. It certainly doesn’t come naturally, so parents must teach it constantly. Sitting still - Harris told us that many children have never sat still by the time they start school. Reading to them or working on projects with them while they sit quietly will help them learn this. ' Self-Help skills - These are little tasks like zipping and unzipping, buttoning and unbuttoning, putting on coats, putting on shoes, lining up, eating meals alone and sitting at a table, that parents sometimes fail to teach. The indulgent parent may find it easier to do everything for his child; the busy teacher will not have the time. Some children will never have put away their own toys when they start school, Harris told us. “This is something that has to start when they’re real little," she said. “Otherwise they get extremely indignant at the idea." Harris, who has taught at the Kindergarten level as well as founding and directing Sursum Corda, had this advice for parents of preschool children: “Try to find a situation where your children will have some structure. Nursery school. Sunday School, summer Bible school - anything that will give them a head start on having to follow a schedule and deal with other adults and children.” Harris also mentioned playground safety as a good Coleman To Visit Here Marshall Coleman, Republican candidate for Governor, will be making an official campaign swing through the Seventh District and Rappahannock County on Friday, August 21. After a speaking engagement in Charlottesville, Coleman will visit Madison and Culpeper and is scheduled to arrive at Washington at 4:00 p.m. The Republican Party of Rappahannock County has organized a reception for Coleman at the Courthouse at 4:00 p.m. to which all School Opens Next Week With the opening of the 1981-82 school year only a week away, parents are reminded to pay book rental fees at the elementary school on Tuesday, August 25. between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Rental fees are $18 for grades kindergarten through third and $27 for grades fourth through seventh. In addition, students will be charged for reading workbooks as they are needed throughout the year. Pupils entering Rappahannock County Elementary School for the first time must have a copy of their health examination on file in the school or else present it on the opening day of school. No student will be admitted without one. On the first day of school, August 27, classes will be dismissed early, at 2 p.m. All new students who plan to go home on the bus on Thursday should ride the bus to school that morning. This prevents confusion at the end of the day caused by children who do not know which bus to ride. RCHS Directory When the bell rings on August 27, incoming eighth graders and transfer students will begin classes at Rappahannock County High School for the first time. To assist students in locating their home rooms, a directory will be located in the hall at the school's main entrance. Home rooms are identified by grade level and home room lists will be posted at the classroom entrance. Members of the Student Cooperative Association will be available to offer assistance. Upon arrival at school each student will receive a handout containing important school information including regulations which govern student behavior at school. An Administrative Assembly will be held in the morning for review of items related to school opening and the school year. Students will be made aware of class schedules, room and locker assignments upon completion of the assembly program. Students enrolled for courses at Piedmont Technical Education Center will not attend their classes at Piedmont until the second day of school. Once students are given copies of their class achedules, they will attend their classes on a shortened schedule. On the first day of school there is an early dismissal time of 2 p.m. There is no pre-school arrangement for securing textbooks at the high school. Textbooks (with the exception of those for business subjects) are rented by students from their respective teachers as they attend classes. The rental fee is S4 per book with three exceptions: the calculus testbook rental is $5 and workbooks and books for business subjects are purchased. Notice There will be a meeting Friday. August 21 at 7:30 of the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association. The meeting will be at the Amissville Fire Department. interested voters are invited. "We hope all the voters, regardless of their preference, will take advantage of this opportunity to meet Marshall Coleman and ask any questions they may have about campaign issues," a party spokesman said. Watermelon Stolen To the editor: Well it happened. The watermelon that was growing in the flower bed in front of Nature’s Foods in Washington was taken last weekend. When it came up last spring, a volunteer, we said “oh. how cute” and let it grow. We had to keep it trimmed to keep it from smothering the other plants and herbs in the bed and were delighted to see two baby watermelons coming along. Well, one disappeared last month and now the other one is gone too. Maybe it was naive to think it wouldn’t be taken, but we had thought we could have our watermelon and eventually eat it too. I still like to think that petty theft like that isn’t common here but someone, somewhere is wondering what to do with a stolen and not quite ripe watermelon.

Both boys are the sons of Cherry and Russell Grimsley of Huntly. subject for a parent and child discussion. Lee Neetles, director of the Mental Health Ginic in Little Washington, told us that the parents’ approach to starting school will greatly affect the child’s: “Be positive, be upbeat.” he said. “The idea is that school - for thirteen years - will be the child’s ‘job’. It’s not a matter of whether he feels like it or not. He simply must do it and make the best of it and you must assume that he will.” Nettles told us that it's wise to establish right away that you, your child, and the teacher are working together. “Don’t get into a triangle situation,” he warned. “Some children will try to convince their parents that their teacher is mean, picks on f them, makes their life miserable. You need to convince your child that you are a team and that the teacher represents you while the child is at school.” Nettles said that separation anxiety is normal but will subside quickly when children realize that the teacher has their best interest at heart. He said that, if problems do arise, quick and reasonable communication will prevent them from growing. As far as arranging home life so that children will do their best. Nettles advises a consistent, structured routine, that never varies. “Lets say that their bed time can change because Uncle John dies, but not because of Monday night football,” he said. Hit Comedy “Harvey” Opening October 2 Robert Mahlbacher, managing director of the Rappahannock Players, announces that the fall production will be "Harvey”, the famous comedy hit that captured the imagination of Broadway theatregoers for over four years, and a Pulitzer Prize as well. This is a play about an imaginary rabbit, six feet one and a half inches tall, whose constant companionship with what is probably the world’s most ingratiating tippler, has created more laughter than any play of modern times. It will open at the Country Playhouse at Wakefield School in Huntly, on October 2 for four evening performances and a matinee. The unseen rabbit hero of this comedy wasn’t born; he was discovered. Elwood P. Dowd, his discoverer, is a calm lovable bachelor, given to sociable—and constant—drinking. Elwood has traded the reality of the world, which irked him, for the illusion of a rabbit; and he has no regrets. For his widowed sister and her eligible daughter, however, Elwood’s companion has its distinct social embsrassments. Driven once too often. Sister decides it is time to enroll Elwood in a sanitarium. But Sister, who isn’t so unlike Elwood that she hasn’t had glimpses of Harvey the Hare herself. winds up being confined in place of her brother. From then on, madness really takes over. Decidedly the most popular laugh hit of the postwar theatre, “Harvey” has delighted audiences all over the world, in addition to chalking up a record 1775 performances on Broadway. “Harvey" was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for the best native drama produced during the year, and the SI,000,000 paid by Universal International was the highest price ever paid for the film rights to a play. The actor who will play the rich leading role of Harvey’s bibulous companion, Elwood «P. Dowd, a part played at various times by Frank Fay, James Stewart, Joe E. Brown, Rudy Vallee and James Dunn, will be announced shortly. Tennis Tournament The 25th annual Rappahannock County Invitational Labor Day Mixed Double Handicap Whistlecup Tennis Tournament will be staged this year on five local courts, according to Mrs. Marta Tholand, permanent chairman of the venerable event The tournaments actually began in 1965. but as Mrs. Tholand explains, "twentyfive is such a nice round number.” In the early years, all matches were played at the Tholand home, Piedmont. south of Sperryville. As the tennis-playing population has increased, the tournament has expanded. Preliminary round-robin matches among six competing partnerships will be played on Sunday, September 6. on the courts of Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser, Mr. and Mrs. Fanning Baumgardner. Mr. and Mrs. Ike Parrish. Judge and Mrs. Rayner Snead, and Mr. and Mrs. James J. Kilpatrick. The Monday finals will be played on the Kilpatrick court, starting at 10 a.m. About 200 players, their families and guest, are expected to attend the finals. The Little Fox r T r

When loved ones go ahead of us it's hard to say goodbye. And in our grief and sorrow, we are tempted to ask God why. But you have found peace this world could not give you. We think of you in silence and shed tears no one can see. When God took you, he took the one we loved and cherished. You are gone but not forgotten, never shall your memory fade. Sweetest flowers will ever linger around your lone and lovely grave. Rest on dear loved one and we shall meet again on that Resurrection Day. Sadly missed by wife, children and grandchildren __ 47 + (Continued from Page 1) facts” in discussing improvements to the high school. “It’s difficult not to express emotion” when the discussion concerns your children and you see how fast they grow,” he said. “The curriculum hasn't kept pace,” Dennis said, noting that last year, the board deckled to improve curriculum, but found that space didn’t allow for any improvements. “It’s a fact that when we came to the county in 1976 and our daughter entered sixth grade the county was buzzing with talk of improving the high school,” he said. “It’s a fact that it is 1981 and my daughter is entering her junior year in high school. Our daughter will likely graduate with no improvements in the physical plant. Our son is entering the ninth grade. “It’s a fact that construction costs have gone up 10 percent per year. They are 40 percent above costs in 1976. They are 25 percent higher than in 1979. Apparently the literary loan rates have increased. “We welcome the new administration,” Dennis said, “and we offer our support to help everything move along as quickly as possible.” The only response from the board came from Massie who thanks Dennis for his cooperative attitude. In his report School Superintendent Estabrook noted that he had started a new procedure to log aH long distance telephone calls to compare against phone bills. He reported that a Hoover vacuum cleaner and the sugar and creamer pieces from a Rogers tea service had been added to the list of items stolen from the high school last month. “We are awaiting lie detector test results from the State Police on two people who are possible culprits,” he added. No Safety Hazards Estabrook said he had contacted John Yowell, president of Burner Electrical Service in Luray, who had examined the wiring at the high school. According to the superintendent, Yowell found that "we do not have a serious or dangerous situation now and did not have one at the time of the computer difficulty." Yowell will replace all twowire outlets with three-wire ones, Estabrook said, and since computers are very sensitive to changes in voltage, a new voltage regulator will be wired in to prevent problems with the new computer. Estabrook said Yowell had offered also to conduct a general electrical study to detect any other potential problems, especially in the boiler room. The superintendent said Yowell’s bill for this project will be less than $1,500 which means the board will not have to advertise the work for bids. Estabrook said an OSHA inspector had conducted a similar search and “they gave the very same report” Regarding the OSHA citation on the shop operation, Estabrook said Robert Clatterbuck had estimated the remaining work could be done for $1,136. Since that also was under the $1,500 bid limit, Estabrook recommended that the board authorize Oatterbuck to proceed, but that he not be paid until an OSHA official inspects all his work prior to school opening and certifies that it meets approval. Board member Robert Eastham noted that the total for all Clatterbuck’s work to meet OSHA requirements was well over the $1,500 limit and said he had copies of correspondence between the former superintendent and OSHA promising that all work would be completed by May, but agreed with other board members to take Estabrook’s advice. Estabrook also reported that new procedures for recruiting teachers were producing results. In the area of special education, he said “It’s very, very difficult to get viable candidates,” but the new procedures had “generated over 20 candidates.” The board also learned the new administration had arranged to have Dr. Terry Grimes, a special education specialist from Virginia Tech, come to Rappahannock and go over all special education programs. She reported Rappahannock was in excellent shape in complying with the law. With Eastham abstaining, the board voted to apply to Richmond to have Title I funds not spent last year carried over to this year’s budget. Lynne Baines, representing the teachers, asked the board to clarify its intentions regarding hospitalization for teachers. The budget approved by the board for 198182 provides for paid hospitalization as a fringe benefit up to three percent of Town Accepts Statement Vcontinued from Page 1) thought that Fisher’s first suggestion was a good one but that the council could put off making a decision until the next meeting. Fisher pointed out that, on the Town Financial Statement, the trash collection total amounted to three times what it had been previously. The Council agreed to advertise for bids on the trash collection to get a better price. Miller cautioned that they would not be bound to accept the lowest bid but would consider the overall merits of each bid at the next meeting. After a discussion on the best way to maintain a good cash flow while updating the town water system, the council could agree on whether it would be better to pursue financing for the water system repairs or to rely on financing later if cash flow problems arose. Taylor Updike made a motion to accept both the town and the water works Financial Statements; Charlie Jenkins seconded the motion and all voted to accept. Miller told the council that there would be a Planning Commission hearing Wednesday, August 19, at 7:30 p.m. at the Courthouse on the proposed town subdivision ordinance, and the meeting was adjourned.

Baines wanted to know if this would apply only to the Blue Cross-Blue Shield plan for which the board had been making deductions in the past or if it could be applied to other hospitalization coverage the teacher might select. The board voted, with Eastham abstaining, to authorize Massie to decide after the superintendent had found out what different insurance plans might be involved. Eastham abstained, he said, because he voted against the paid hospitalization originally. Gas Pump Policy Estabrook reported that the board’s policy of allowing only the superintendent and bus shop foreman Allie Huff to pump gasoline was causing problems, especially for the summer driver education program. He said he would like to make recommendations at a future meeting for allowing others to dispense gasoline. Eastham suggested Estabrook review the minutes from the spring of 1980 to see the reason for the policy. He claimed Fauquier County had found that 22,000 gallons of gasoline had disappeared. He said the board had expected periodic reports on gasoline and “we never got any files at all.’’ bstabrooK said ne had in mind a form which would show gallons pumped and mileage on the vehicle each time gasoline was dispensed. Estabrook also indicated he would like to recommend a change in past policy of having administrators pay for travel “out of pocket” and then be reimbursed by the board. In Wythe County, he reported, administrators charged travel expenses on a Visa card issued in the name of the board with a list of people authorized to use it. “Before this board issues a Visa card to anyone, I sure want to know the details of it,” Eastham responded. Estabrook said he had not been able to prepare a report on all the school system’s insurance coverage in time for the meeting but would have this information for board members within a week. He said he also would have information on building security for the September meeting. The board approved paying its monthly bills, but before the vote Eastham noted his concern over the relationship between the school system and Clatterbuck. “This board member would like to see this administration put Mr. Robert Clatterbuck under some sort of contract if he’s going to continue working for this board,” he said. “I’m not contesting this one. I am suggesting this administration take on the nature of the arrangement. I have never failed to approve any warrant. It is the only case of this kind that we have, and I would like to see it put in order.” ++++ YOU will never “find” time for anything; if you want time, you must make it. —Charles Buxton f i _ 1 I' irmr coiinm noht/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes •Cabins •Additions •Remodeling Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 703*675*3897 * Va.
