Parlagreco And Exton Take Home Whistlecup Tennis Trophies By Ow Tc—» CanwpwMfciu Paula Parlagreco and Peter Exton took home the trophies Monday in the sixteenth running of Rappahannock County’s 25th Annual Invitational Labor Day Mixed Doubles Handicap Whistlecup Tennis Tournament. The Parlagreco-Exton team defeated Diane Bruce and Tom Palmer in a playoff after having tied at 11 games all in the round-robin tournament A team composed of Teresa McLawhorn and Louis Moore finished in third place. Carolyn T. Ward and Dennis Fairbrother wound up fourth, while Lois Manookian and John Lee finished last. The quality of play ranged, as usual, from the remarkably good to the truly deplorable. The net play appeared to be better this year than last year, but high winds, gusting to 32 miles an hour, badly hampered the players’ service. The first 20 games that were played saw twelve double-faults. An estimated 150 Rappahannockers and their guests attended the Monday finals, played at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James J. Kilpatrick. Preliminary rounds were played on Sunday at the courts of Judge and Mrs. Rayner Snead, Mr. and Mrs. I. L. Parrish, Mr. and Mrs. Fanning Baumgardner, and Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser. The traditional picnic was notable chiefly for the continuing decline in the volume of baked beans supplied by the players. Six years ago the picnickers brought a dozen pots of beans. This year saw only one. —J.J.K. Supervisors Commit $5,000 For Local Dispatch Grant By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ra|>|>ahann<»ck 'Vw* Staff Writer Rappahannock’s supervisors took a first tentative step at Tuesday’s meeting to resolve the fire and rescue dispatch problem, obligating the county to provide up to S5.000 as the local match in a grant for radio equipment to outfit a local dispatch station. Difficulties first arose last March when the Culpeper Fire and Rescue Squad announced that emergency dispatch service provided to fire and rescue units in Washington, Flint Hill, Amissville and Castleton would cease as of July 1. The Culpeper sheriff’s office which operates the communications equipment owned by that community’s fire and rescue unit indicated that free dispatch service would continue to be provided to the Rappahannock sheriff’s department, however. Meetings between supervisors and firemen from both counties resulted only in getting the cut-off deadline delayed as long as Rappahannock is actively pursuing a solution to the problem of finding money — approximately $60,000—to set up and staff its own communications system. Paul Poling, the county’s representative to the planning district’s emergency services council, reported that he met last Friday with supervisor Charles Estes and sheriff W. A. Buntin to thrash out the dispatch issue. Out of the session came questions on where a local dispatch station could be housed—in the clerk's office basement or in the jail. He also reported that sheriff Buntin has pointed out that jailor John Mannion can’t serve as dispatcher on one of the three shifts required because he’s not available all the time. In addition, Poling said, the supervisors must promise to allocate local funds for the county’s share of a matching grant in order for the grant application to be considered. Hardship Case He explained that the county is seeking hardship funding with an 80 percent state and 20 percent local share for its SI6,126 request. Two additional items of equipment—a tone receiver for each fire station and a dual communications set-up for the sheriff’s office—is (Continued on Page 4) Dismissal Sought In Buntin’s Suit Attorneys for the state comptroller and the board of trustees of the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System have filed motions to dismiss against the suit brought in federal district court by Rappahannock sheriff W. A: Buntin. Buntin is seeking a total of $250,000 plus attorney’s fees in a suit lodged last June 30 against the retirement system's board of trustees. He alleges that the trustees discriminated against him by refusing to allow his participation in the retirement system which they administer. He also is seeking reinstatement of his retirement benefits from the State Police Officer’s Retirement System administered by the same trustees. Buntin's retirement benefits from the state police fund were terminated in 1976 when he assumed the post of sheriff under regulations which provide that should “a beneficiary of a service retirement allowance be at any time in a position covered for retirement purposes...his retirement allowance shall cease while so employed.” The trustees held that sheriff of Rappahannock was a position covered for retirement. At the same time, however, after making compulsory contributions to the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System for two years while he was sheriff, Buntin was advised in 1978 that he wasn't eligible to participate because he had “attained the age of 60 at date of employment." The complaint asks for $50,000 compensatory damages and $200,000 punitive damages plus seeks to have the Virginia law prohibiting persons aged 60 upon employment from participating in the retirement system declared unconstitutional. Answers filed last month by lawyers from the attorney general’s office maintain that the state comptroller and trustees of the retirement system can’t be sued in their official capacity because neither the Commonwealth nor its agencies, departments or boards are “persons” under law. In their request to dismiss charges, they note that the 11th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which bars monetary claims against states also covers suits against “boards, departments, officers, agents and representatives of the state.” The motion to dismiss also notes that Buntin's retirement benefits were terminated January 1, 1976, and his eligibility to participate in the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System cancelled in October, 1978. Buntin's suit citing these two alleged discriminatory and unconstitutional acts was filed July 7, 1981. “As a result, this action is barred by the applicable Virginia two-year at statute of limitations,” lawyers maintain. According to the motion to dismiss actions of the trustees were in compliance with state law and although Buntin alleges discrimination on the basis of age and violations of due process and equal protection in his suit, the defendants are “immune from liability as a result of the good faith performance of their duties.” Welfare Short $10,000 Plus A Board Member “I’d like to be able to hand over a clean type of operation. That’s why I’m here today,” retired welfare director Elizabeth Buntin told the Rappahannock supervisors at Tuesday’s meeting. Since leaving her position last month as department head after 35 years in the job, Mrs. Buntin has continued to work with the welfare office on a volunteer basis. She was before the supervisors at their September 8 meeting to request that they name a representative to the welfare board and to warn that the amended county budget for social services may be almost $10,000 short in local funds. She reported that J. R. Latham’s term as supervisor representative on the welfare board expired Tuesday and since he has filled two full terms, he is prohibited by law from serving again without an interval of four years. “You need to appoint a member in his place or designate someone else to represent the supervisors,” she said, noting that the three member welfare board is still interviewing applicants in an effort to find her replacement. “Whose responsibility is it to appoint the welfare head and what are the qualifications?" supervisor H. B. Wood asked. Mrs. Buntin replied that qualifications for the job have been outlined in an ad which appeared in the Rappahannock News. “The welfare board has the (Continued on Page 8) Bloodmobile Here Next Wednesday The Rappahannock Lions Club will sponsor the Red Cross Bloodmobile at the Baptist Church in Washington on Wednesday, September 16 between the Voters Take Note The office of the Registrar of Voters is open each Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., according to Ruth Kilby, Registrar. Those who wish to register may also come to: Woodville, Burke’s Store, Friday, September 11, 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.; Chester Gap, Fire Hall, Friday, September 18, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. and Flint Hill, Fire Hall, Friday, September 25, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The last day to register for the November 3, General Election is on Saturday, October 3, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. hours of 1:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. This is the first time the Lions Club has sponsored a blood drive, according to Col. Robert Ingle, chairman of the drive. The 39 members of the club constitute a “network” throughout the county, he says, and will approach people they know to urge them to give blood. This person-to-person approach has been particularly effective elsewhere in Red Cross blood drives. Blood donors can be anyone between the ages of 17 and 65 who is in generally good health, does not have a cold, or who has not had penicillin in the two weeks preceding the giving of blood. A donor can give blood as often as every 56 days. This will be the first appearance of the Bloodmobile in Rappahannock County in well over a year, in which time both the needs and the blood quota in this area have increased. The Fauquier Chapter of the Red Cross, which serves Rappahannock County, has been given a quota of 1200 units in the fiscal year that began on July 1 of this year. As their part in meeting that quota, Rappahannock residents are being asked to contribute at least SO units on September 16 (a unit is approximately one pint). The Fauquier Hospital, which gets its blood from the Red Cross, uses more than twice as much blood as is collected by the Fauquier Chapter each year. The combined population of Rappahannock and Fauquier is more than 41,000. If only 3 percent of that number donated blood, the quota of 1,200 units would be attained, but that would still be below the hospital’s needs of about 2,000 units a year. According to Red Cross estimates, 60 percent of the population is eligible to give blood. If as little as 5 percent of the population were to donate blood not only would the quota be exceeded, but the hospital’s needs perhaps could be met. — Rappahannock New* |*hoto/ Daphne Hnt<hin*on A TROOPER’S BEST FRIEND—Max is all business when he’s on the job with his partner, Virginia State Trooper C.A.

See story Page 4 Local Hearing Requested On Centel Rate Increase The Warren County Supervisors appear to be following the lead of Rappahannock's board in taking a close look at the recent rate increase requested by Central Telephone Company. In a letter dated August 31, Warren County administrator J. Ronald George petitioned the State Corporation Commission to hold its public hearings on the rate increase locally rather than in Richmond. “Members of the Board of Supervisors often hear complaints from constituents concerning the quality of telephone service provided by Centel. However, it is not known whether these complaints or concerns are formally expressed to the SCC,” Goorge wrote. “The Warren County Board of Supervisors does not presume to be able to make a recommendation concerning this proposed rate increase,” the administrator noted. "Its concern is that the citizens of Warren County have an opportunity to voice their opinions before the Commission. While a public hearing held in Richmond gives the people the opportunity to be heard, there are few people in this area who can take the time and money necessary to make the trip to Richmond for that purpose," he wrote, requesting on behalf of the supervisors that the Centel rate hearing be held “in this area of Virginia.” The Warren supervisors have also asked their counterparts in other area counties served by Centel to consider making a similar request to the SCC. In all probability. Rappahannock’s supervisors will second the proposal for a (Continued on Page 4) Annual House Tour, Flower Sale Scheduled rians mu preparations arc going full steam ahead for the annual house tour and dried flower arrangement sale sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfleld Parish in Rappahannock.

Antiques, many of them family pieces, including a walnut banquet table, cherry corner cupboard and hunt board, grace the house, as well as an Empire sofa which at one time belonged to Chief Justice John Marshall. There is an original oil painting of Anne Hathaway’s cottage in England, a well preserved telescope, an antique cradle and other interesting pieces. The house boasts a friendly ghost who mysteriously opens and shuts doors, turns on and off the television and causes the dog to Dane at empty chairs. Brookside, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Kilpatrick, is a fine old American Federal house built in three sections, the first in 1805. One addition was made in 1850 and another in 1905. It is situated amid stately oaks and huge American boxwoods. -The house has old pine and chestnut floors in some sections. Pastel Williamsburg paints have been used on the interior of the gracious, old Colonial home which is furnished with many walnut Empire and Victorian pieces handed down from the Kilpatricks' grandparents.

Judge Sets Aside Four Arson Verdicts By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrw* Staff Writer Robert Garence "Pete” Martin will apparently stand trial again, this time on one count of arson rather than four separate counts arising from the 1980 Halloween burning of four barns belonging to the C. E. Johnson family of Sperryville. In a written opinion delivered September 3, Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson set aside four guilty verdicts reached after a jury trial last March, letting stand a single verdict of arson for the burning of the Johnson family’s personal property. On a motion of the defense, the judge continue delayed sentencing Martin on the one remaining count and continued proceedings until November 9. In accord with precedents cited in his written ruling of September 3. Robertson found "substantial uncertainty in the law as to whether the Commonwealth properly proceeded against the defendant (by issuing Dance Sponsored By Contra Dancers This Saturday night.

Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner announced that he will ask the next regular grand jury for one indictment for he burning of the four barns and will proceed with a trial if the grand jury returns a true bill. With the Commonwealth' seeking a new trial, defense attorney Lee Albrecht asked for a continuance in the sentencing of his client until after that trial. If a second guilty verdict is reached on the consolidated arson charge and if Martin decides to appeal, he can combine both cases in a single appeal proceeding, Albrecht said. According to the defense attorney, Martin has already served “far in excess” of the time required for parole eligibility on a single count of arson. “1 know of no way we can hand time back to Mr. Martin,” Albrecht said, indicating he may come back before the court with a bond request prior to his client’s second trial. Baumgardner objected to the defendant “being released in this community" before the outcome of the expected second trial. He emphasized that Martin had been found guilty by a jury which recommended he serve time in the state penitentiary. The commonwealth’s attorney maintained that the convicted arsonist should at least go through the prison system with his eligibility for parole ruled on by a parole board, not the judge. Robertson acknowledged that he has some jurisdiction over Martin while the defendant is a prisoner in the Fauquier County jail but added that the criteria set out for the court to use in judging parole eligibility under those circumstances are ‘‘very sketchy.” He noted that if Martin isn’t sentenced, then he’s subject to bond motions. Robertson added, however, that on this circuit, it’s standard practice to keep a defendant in custody after a finding of guilt. The judge granted the defense’s motion to delay sentencing on the arson count involving personal property. "That will save the resources of the defendant, which are limited, and save the resources of the commonwealth (should appeals be lodged),” Robertson said. He continued the case until November 9 at which time Baumgardner will ask the grand jury for an indictment on a single count of arson for the barn burnings. Sperryville Business Council Sperryville merchants recently met to form a Sperryville Business Council. The meeting was held Friday, September 4 for the purpose of organizing the Council and discussing future plans. The president of the Business Council is Howard Maree of the recently-opened Chipmunk Hollow shop. The Vice-president is Wilson Burke of Burke's Antiques; Secretary-treasurer is Josephine Borkowski of Cardinal Antiques. The merchants also elected Martha O’Ban non and Martin Woodward to the board of Directors. The members of the Sperryville Business Council plan to meet again soon to discuss ways of promoting Sperryville businesses. All interested Sperryville residents are encouraged to join. Massachusetts School To Open “Branch Campus” Hy DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kap|MihanmK'k Nt-nn Staff I riltr For a few weeks this coming April. Rappahannock will be the site of an innovative experiment in education which will see two instructors from the Cambridge School of Weston open a base camp for 12 teenagers at Washington's Whippoorwill Farm. Larry Forrester and his wife Elsa Newmyer were in the county last week, investigating curriculum options for the youngsters who will return with them in the spring. Forrester is athletic idirector and Newmyer is ^English teacher and registrar fat Cambridge School of •Weston in Weston, Massachusetts. A progressive high school for both day and boarding students. Cambridge School started in Cambridge in the early 1800’s and then moved out to the suburbs of Weston on the 1930’s, according to Forrester. nc CA(jiamcu me school operates on a unique module system of education. This year is divided into seven terms, each four and a half weeks long. Students change courses at the end of each module, taking either a three hour major class and a 90 minute minor class or three 90 minute minors daily plus extra-curricular activities. The longer class periods enable teachers to jam in more learning, according to Forrester, and allow students to continue their education off campus during special modules like the one planned for Rappahannock. The idea for off-campus modules began several years ago when Cambridge replaced its standard physical education program with a series of outdoor adventures modeled after “Outward Bound" and featuring rock climbing, canoeing, back17 packing ana camping, as costs spiraled upwards, the number of outings dropped to one per year, handled on a contractual basis by an organization specialising in that type of program, Forrester said.’ When this approach likewise proved too expensive, the school decided to try combining regular courses and outdoor activities using Cambridge teachers as instructors. For the trial here, Elsa arranged for loan of Whippoorwill Farm through Don Brown, a neighbor of parents in Washington, D.C. and one of the owners of the property. As part of the educational program, students will earn credits in English, history of humanities and physical education. Elsa noted that every Cambridge student has to take at least one off campus module in order to graduate. I ne couple plans to utilize Rappahannock’s natural resources in a specialized curriculum. English classes will focus on appropriate southern literature while history studies will emphasize county history, particularly the acquisition of land for Shenandoah National Park and the culture of the mountain people who were displaced from their homes by that effort. On weekends, the two teachers will take their charges canoeing on the Shenandoah, backpacking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and sightseeing to places like Monticello. Both Elsa and Larry believe that the key to the success of this educational experiment lies in finding Rappahannock historians, old timers, crafts persons and artists willing to share their knowledge and skills with young people. They hope to compile a list of local people who will volunteer an hour or two of their time for the Tl COPY SERVICE We have a large, automatic copying machine which can make up to 8V2 x 14 in. prints. 20* a single copy with decreasing scale, for example, 100 copies, $6.00 Culpeper Book Store 210 N.

The couple can be reached by writing to 19 Red Bam Road, Wayland, Massachusetts 01778. Forrester hopes that the response will give the Cambridge students a wealth of resource people to choose from. "A big part of this experiment is getting the kids to take part in the organization,” he concluded.

James Grimmer, former minister on the Rappahannock charge from 1962 to 1966, will deliver the message. Bring your family, a picnic lunch and come enjoy an old fashioned homecoming at Willis Chapel. SS Cases Reviewed Social Security is required to review most disability cases at least once every three years starting in 1982 because of the 1960 disability amendments. The reviews are conducted to determine if a person is still disabled. As an important first step in making the required* reviews, Social Security is increasing significantly the number of continuing disability investigations it makes. About 350,000 cases will be reviewed during the remainder of this fiscal year. Next year, more than 500,000 cases will be reviewed.

I ! \ n•'* i By RAPOWINGS Eslrwlon Afrnt Agriculturr Planning on Seeding Small Grain this Fail? Where has the summer gone? My gosh, before you know it, it will be time to fire up the old wood stove. And if you are planning on seeding barley or wheat this fall, why planting time is almost upon us. One of the main reasons for reduced yields in Rappahannock is late planting. Optimum seeding time for barley is September 15 to October 10 at l'/i to 2 bushels per acre. Recommended barley varieties for the Northern Piedmont are Barsoy, Henry, Maury, and Volbar, listed in order ol maturity. Wheat should be seeded October 1 to November 1 al the rate of 1 to V/i bushel: per acre. Varieties that have yielded above average over z period of three years at tesi stations throughout the state are Coker 747, McNair 1003 Wheeler, Tyler, Coker 761 and Potomac. Small grair yield, stalk height, disease resistance research in formation is available at the Extension Office at 675-3619 Beef-Cow Grab and Lice Control A pour-on grubicide te control grubs and lice shoule go on every cow between the first of September and the end of October. November 1 is the cut-off date for the use of grubicide materials in fall. There are a number of recommended pour-on or spot-on materials that do an excellent job of controlling grubs and lice. Warbex and Spotton, along with other good products, are on the recommended list. Should you Hold or Sell Light Feeder Calves this Fall? Everyone involved in the beef industry is aware of the current depressed price situation. Many of you are faced with the big decision of whether to sell light calves now or hold until next spring. There are too many variable factors for anyone to come up with a sure fire price forecast for next spring. However, the area Extension Farm Management Agents have developed a simplified budget with their projections for fall 1981 and spring 1982 prices and costs of wintering steers. There is a space to plug in your own costs and projected prices and a brief : discussion of other factors to help you decide if holding : will pay. Call the Extension Office and ask for your copy i of “Should you Hold or Sell I Calves this Fall?" Sharp Named To Zoning And Building Position Following an hour-long executive meeting on personnel and litigation, the Rappahannock Supervisors came back into public session on Tuesday to announce the unanimous appointment of Alex Sharp as combination zoning administrator and building inspector. The position was created by the supervisors at last month’s meeting as a twoday-per-week job with an annual salary of $6,000. Up until recently, Col. Evan McNear staffed a one day-per-week othce as zoning administrator. He announced his retirement in June and has been continuing on a temporary basis until a replacement could be hired. Despite state law which requires such a position, the county has never had a building inspector. Impetus for creating a local office for building inspection came two years ago in a letter from the attorney general's office indicating that enforcement action might be taken if the county continued to ignore state regulations. Closings Of Park Facilities Virginia State Parks will close some facilities immediately after Labor Day and restrict the use of others in order to conserve energy and reduce operating costs. “The reduction in the number of campsites, picnic areas and trails available to the public will probably have a minimum effect on most individuals and groups who normally use parks this time of the year since most parks will still have one picnic area, one campground and some trails open until later into the fall," announced Ben H. Bolen, Commissioner. He further explained that closing down facilities early this season was made necessary by the effects of inflation on energy and other operating costs on park budgets and the early closing would hopefully reduce costs sufficiently to allow all park facilities to be opened for the 1982 season. ++++ THINKING good thoughts, positive and cheerful thoughts, will improve the way you feel.

This could be an unnecessary loss of cash. There is another way to accomplish the same result without paying the tax on the profit. It is called a “tax-free exchange”. It could be of special importance if your present property has _ already seen much tax depreciation over the years. To qualify for a tax-free exchange, both properties must be held for “productive use in business or for investment" and must be of a “like kind”, but most real property held for business or investment would be considered so. The most significant advantage of a tax-free exchange is that it enables you to obtain the property you want by using the inflated current value of your present property without having to pay the tax on the profit because it is, in effect, an exchange not a sale.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1981 Supervisors Endorse County’s First Park By DAPHNR HUTCHINSON Kaf>|MihanniM-k >t*H» Staff 11 filer “This certainly is a good thing,” said acting supervisor chairman J. R. Latham as the supervisors were asked at Tuesday’s meeting to endorse an application for a $63,837 grant which the Rappahannock Recreation Authority plans to use for additional picnic facilities, tennis and basketball courts at the center on Route 211. “This is one of the things Rappahannock County has been lacking. It’s far better to provide tennis and basketball courts for kids rather than have them driving up and down the road, shooting at mailboxes and signs!" the Jackson District representative said. On behalf of the Rec Authority, clerk Diane Bruce explained that the supervisors must give their approval, agreeing to take title to and assume responsibility for the 5.6 acre site, before the Virginia Commission on Outdoor Recreation (COR) formally awards the grant. The board's endorsement is necessary because the grant's 50 percent local match is being covered through donation of the Rec Authority property to the county. H. B. Wood asked whether the county already held title to the parcel as part of an earlier grant application. Bruce acknowledged that the county had had an agreement with the Rappahannock Recreation Center, forerunner of the Recreation Authority, but noted that title of the property hadn't changed hands as part of that agreement. “It's still privately owned” she said. In looking at projects, the Authority reviewed the possibility of buildihg a swimming pool, judging that this would be first choice for most county residents, according to Bruce. The Authority found, however, that a poo] would cost $200,000 just to install and would require substantial funds for maintenance. She noted that the original Recreation Center committee had also worked towards raising money for construction of all-purpose courts several years ago after being turned down on a swimming pool grant. Additional picnic areas on the banks of the Rush River, tennis and basketball courts “were things that were affordable” with available grant funds, Bruce said. The 5.6 acre recreation center across the highway from the town of Washington is not big enough for baseball or soccer fields, she explained, because of (1) power lines which cross the property and (2) the location of the pavillion on the site. She also noted that improvements planned by the Authority will require a minimum of maintenance, pointing out that the tennis courts will be hard surfaced. ‘•‘We’d also ‘Moped that maybe Rappahannock High School could have a tennis team if we have the courts.” Bruce said. She added that this was something the Authority members have only discussed among themselves, not with the county's school board. The Commission on Outdoor Recreation has already made an “internal decision” to approve the $63,837 matching grant if the supervisors give their endorsement, Bruce told the board. Then all that remains will be for Authority representatives to make a formal presentation to COR in Richmond later this month. The money should be available to draw against in January, Bruce said, adding that John Capelle. executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission has promised to continue providing planning assistance until the project is completed. "What’s the cost to the county?” asked Ed Foster. “There’s no cost to the county,” Bruce replied, emphasizing that all maintenance bills for the rec center have been paid by the Recreation Center group and more recently by the Authority. “The Authority has never asked the county for money in the past and we don't intend to do so in the future,” she said. Supervisor Charles Estes asked if the deed to the 5.6 acre rec site included any covenants that would require the property to revert back to the original donators of the land should it not continue in recreational use. “It’s a straight out deed—no covenants or restrictions,” Bruce replied. With that assurance, the board members voted unanimously to endorse the grant application and eventually accept title and responsibility on the property as the Rappahannock County Park. Letter To The Editor Candidate Durrette Defended To the editor: On behalf of Wyatt Durrette. I would like to correct a number of distortions and deliberate misrepresentations of fact made by the Democrat candidate for Attorney General on his recent visit to Washington as reported in the August 6. 1981 edition. Rather than emphasizing his own ideas and qualifications for the office he seeks, Mr. Baliles chose to punctuate his remarks with negative allegations about Wyatt Durrette’s record. How unfortunate that these allegations were not verified before they were printed. Baliles alleged, for example, that Wyatt Durrette had opposed legislation which established a program to compensate innocent victims of crime. The fact of the matter is that Wyatt Durrette not only chaired the commission which studied the proposal and recommended the legislation establishing such a program, Wyatt Durrette was the sponsor of the bill in the House of Delegates. His bill provided for an appropriation of funds with which to put the program into effect. Durrette voted against an alternate proposal which had no provision for appropriating funds to compensate victims of crime. Equally misleading is Baliles' allegations that Durrette has vacillated on the abortion issue. He charges that Wyatt Durrette once sponsored “sweeping liberal reforms” of abortion law. The truth is that Durrette has consistently opposed abortion, and that after the 1973 United States Supreme Court decision. The “sweeping liberal reform” of which Baliles spoke was required by that decision, whereas public funding of » abortions has never been required. How interesting it is that Mr. Baliles conveniently forgot to mention the fact that in addition to supporting legalized abortion, Baliles voted for public funding of abortion during his term in the legislature! The allegation that Wyatt Durrette has ever opposed capital punishment is another absolute distortion of fact. After Virginia's capital punishment statutes were held to be unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, Wyatt Durrette supported the legislation which successfully reinstated the death penalty within the parameters of the Supreme Court decision. His only negative vote on the subject was against a bill based upon his belief that the proposed legislation would not pass constitutional muster. Durrette’s good judgment was later confirmed when the bill he voted against was ruled unconstitutional. Not only has Durrette consistently supported capital punishment in Virginia, it was Wyatt Durrette who proposed the amendment to the present statute which added the killing of a low enforcement officer as a crime for which the death penalty could be imposed. Wyatt Durrette is proud of his record. His campaign is a positive one in which he has abstained from the type of false and misleading attacks on his opponent in which Mr. Baliles apparently feels compelled to engage. Although Baliles knows these innuendos are deceptive and untrue, he has repeatedly made them during numerous appearances all over the State. In making their choice for Attorney General, voters should ask themselves what kind of person they want to fill that important office. Those of us who support Wyatt . Durrette do so not only because we agree with him on most of the issues, but more especially because we respect his integrity and character. Thank you for helping to set the record straight by printing this letter. DAVID L. KONICK House Tour (Continued from Page 1) organ, will be open to the public.

There are a few folks around, however, who might argue whether or not Chuck Moore’s German shepherd belongs in that good buddy category. Under the direction of his state trooper partner, Max has helped the long arm of the law collar escaped convicts, robbers and suspected murderers. Languishing behind bars thanks to the canine cop’s educated nose, they’ve all dropped understandably from the ranks of dog lovers, adding a disclaimer to the old adage. Dogs aren’t man’s best friend when the man is a criminal and the dog is a four-footed member of the Virginia State Police. Chuck, who lives just outside the town of Washington, joined the state police’s canine corps in September, 1978, when he picked up the German shepherd near the North Carolina border. His former owners couldn’t handle the dog and while they didn’t mistreat Max, being kept chained in the back yard didn’t engender a warm and loving feeling toward humans. From the start, however. Chuck established a relationship with the dog, building first on respect. “I just hooked him on the leash and walked him around the yard a few times. He didn’t bite me but I didn’t put him in a position where he felt pushed,’ Chuck recalled of that first meeting. The state trooper brought Max back to Rappahannock where he traded meals and shelter for Max’s cooperation, winning a truce from the wary animal with his attentions. A friendship between the pair at least started, Moore and his dog left for 12 weeks of school in Richmond. The fragile ties between the two were put to the test right away. “I had a few problems teaching him obedience but he’s pretty smart,” the trooper recalled. “He picked up pretty quick that I was the one he was supposed to be protecting. I don’t mind saying that he was one of the best dogs at the school as far as obedience goes. But it was a little more difficult becoming his friend.” As one of 14 trained state police dogs in Virginia, Max returned to Rappahannock with Chuck where the two were assigned to the second division, a wide area that covers twelve counties, from Frederick to Spotsylvania and Fauquier to Shenandoah. “We’re assigned there but we can get called anywhere,” Moore noted. Chasing Convicts At Home In 1981 alone, the partners have responded to over 20 calls. Here at home. Max played an instrumental part in recapturing two convicts who were part of a road crew working on the Shade Road. When their escape was discovered, police questioned the remaining prisoners for information on which way the pair headed. One volunteered that the escapees had headed off into the woods so Moore followed with Max to see if the dog could find a scent. After casting about the area several times, Max came up empty nosed. “So we knew the man was lying,” Moore reported. On the basis of Max’s failure to discover a trail, law enforcement personnel abandoned the search locally and concentrated on other leads which resulted in recapture of the convicts the following day near Leesburg. On another occasion. Max tracked a murderer in the rain, losing the trail only where it led past a yard full of beagles who rushed out to attack the big German shepherd every time he tried to follow the scent through their territory. Even with odds of about 15 to one, Max was going to do some damage to his assailants, Moore noted, so he was forced to pull his dog off. “1 guess you’d have to say he wasn’t completely successful but we found out the next day when the man turned himself in that Max was right on track. He would have caught the guy if it hadn't been for those beagles.” Max has met with unqualified success, however, on many other occasions. He’s found people lost in the woods, including a woman who’d attempted an earlier suicide. In that instance, Moore and his dog had put in a full day of schooling at the Richmond training center only to be called out for the search as darkness fell on a cold, blustery evening. Two robbers in Orange owe their capture to Chuck’s partner. The dog found the pair underneath a trailer where they’d hidden after stealing a truck. “He didn’t bit them, just stood on top of them. They didn’t move an inch,” Moore reported. Max’s record doesn’t look as good as it should because the dog has assisted in several cases where his chances of success have been next to zero, according to Moore. As an example, there was a breaking and entering recently that we were called in on. It had happened eight hours earlier. At least 15 people had been all over the yard and in the house and they expected Max to find the trail!” Moore related, noting that his partner is an expert tracker but not a miracle worker. After three years together. Max has won Chuck’s confidence and his affection. The trooper gets absolute devotion in return. At the start of their relationship. Chuck was always on the alert, watching to make sure that his unfriendly new partner didn’t take a bite out of some innocent bystander. According to Moore, the dog has become much more relaxed, allowing his handler to relax a little as well. “He’s more deceptive now. He doesn’t bark that much but he still bites,” Moore added with a wide grin. The trooper is only half joking about Max’s tendency towards violence. While the dog won’t go out of his way to bother anyone, neither does he tolerate interference in the performance of his duties. And to Max, petting and scratching from anyone but Chuck constitutes interference. Chock’s Best Friend With Chuck, however, Max is just a regular old dog. In their off duty hours, the two take long hikes through the rolling fields and woods around Washington. Like any other family pet, Max revels in the praise he gets for retrieving tennis balls from local farm ponds for his master. But if someone should threaten Moore, they’d have to settle with the big German shepherd first. “He can tell when someone’s just horsing around. He doesn’t like it but he’s got good sense enough not to do anything. But there’s no doubt in my mind. If someone really attacked me, he’d nail them!” Chuck feels that he and Max could be a more effective unit if he had the opportunity for more hours of drilling with his partner instead of having to split his time between canine corps responsibilities, road patrol and other routine duties. “Sometimes I wonder why I got into this!” trooper Moore joked. “Seriously, I like working with dogs. It makes the job much more interesting." Chuck Moore’s feelings about his job may be a little bit ambivalent but there’s no uncertainty in his feelings toward Max. “He’s the best friend you’ll ever have!” $5,000 Committed To Dispatch Grant (Continued from Page 1) expected to bring the total of the grant application to around S20.000, Poling added. Covered in the application are an 80 foot tower, low band, four channel radio, antenna, tone remote console, 30 call encoder to set off the tones at the fire and rescue stations and a one year maintenance contract. “The on-going staffing will be the responsibility of the county," Poling emphasized. He added that the fire and rescue association wanted the equipment purchased with grant funds turned over to the county rather than owned by the association or any individual fire or rescue unit. The equipment will all be Motorola, Poling noted, “the best on the market and service is good in this area." He added that two bands on the four band communications equipment will be reserved for the sheriffs department although Buntin has said he wants his office to continue being dispatched by the Culpeper sheriffs department, at least for the time being. Currently, the fire and rescue association “has next to nothing in the way of funding” for setting up a local dispatch center, according to Poling. The Bureau of Emergency Medical Services has funds available, however, and personnel from that organization have indicated that “this project looks good,” Poling reported. "We need something definite from the board on location,” he said, adding that a decision on the grant application is expected in January. “The operation concerns me more than the equipment,” commented J. R. Latham, acting supervisor chairman. Good Move For County Equipping a local dispatch station with grant funds would be “a good move for the county,” said supervisor pstes. With the center in operation, dispatch service will be there if the sheriff wants it. “The sheriff’s department is now dispatched by Culpeper. I don’t believe in depending on another county to do our work for us...I don’t think we can beat an 80 percent match. (The federal and state share of such grants) is going to start dropping drastically in the next couple of years,” Estes noted. He suggested strongly that the dispatch center be housed in the jail with an extra communications “head” installed in the sheriffs office. "We do have to show Culpeper we’re making progress,” he concluded in support of the grant application. “Another thing we have to consider is the staffing,” Poling said. "That can be in the future,” Estes countered. "That was going to be my question,” added H. B. Wood. The addition of the extra equipment will raise the total of the grant application to around $20,000, leaving the county with $5,000 at most to contribute as its local share under the 80-20 percent hardship split, according to Poling. Gary Rosson, head of the emergency services council, noted that Rappahannock can apply in the hardship category and while the county has a good chance at getting the 80-20 percent split, it may also wind up having to supply as much as 50 percent of the money as its local share. Returning to the question of staffing, Sheriff Buntin reported that jailor John Mannion is not willing to assume the dispatch shift that runs from midnight to morning once he realized how involved the job will be. He thinks he'd be taking on too much without additional help and I agree.” the sheriff added. Buntin also told the board that he’s not willing for the sheriffs department to be responsible for 24 hour dispatch. He added that he didn't think using volunteers to handle dispatch when sheriffs office personnel weren’t available would work either ‘‘because we never know when we’ll need them, when an emergency will come up that will take us out of the office.” Jail Space May Be Needed There’s no difficulty at present in using space in the jail for the dispatch center, Buntin continued. "But if we get a new jailor with a family, he may need that room," the sheriff said, noting that $2,000 is deducted from the jailor’s salary in exchange for housing plus utilities provided in the jail. The jailor also serves as a deputy, spending a substantial amount of time transporting prisoners, according to Buntin. In addition, Mannion has Wednesdays off. If a prisoner is brought in during that time off, the prisoner is taken directly to the Warrenton jail. Buntin noted. “The big cost of this is going to be manning it,” said Wood. “We’re talking about 24 hours per day.” Although the sheriff isn’t interested at present in being dispatched through a local station, if he changes his mind, it might be possible to get the state to fund one or two dispatch positions, Poling interjected. Despite the money problems, we’re obligated to the people to take this first step,” maintained supervisor Hubert Gilkey, urging his fellow board members to commit the local funds for the grant application. “If we don’t, we’ll be selling the people of Rappahannock County short.” Estes agreed, adding that the grant application presented an excellent opportunity to acquire the communications equipment. Few Call* Wood returned to the staffing problem. “Do we have any other idea besides hiring three men just to handle two, three calls per day?” "Right now, no,” Poling answered. noting that emergency services personnel can work with the supervisors to explore other, less expensive options. ‘‘We’re going to have to do a study and see what we can come up with.” “1 hate to see us hire three full-time dispatchers. That’s quite expensive for two or three calls in 24 hours,” Wood rejoined. "How expensive is a life? How expensive is property?” countered Poling. “There’s no way to figure the value of a life,” Wood replied. “That’s right but if you lose one, you’ve lost a tremendous amount. You can't put that in dollars and cents,” Poling argued. “We sure can’t but we can’t keep spending money on possibilities either,” Wood replied. “If we do, life’s not going to be worth anything.” With no further discussion, the supervisors voted unanimously to commit the county to a maximum of $5,000 in local match so the grant application process can proceed. In other action, the board accepted a low bid of S6000 from Charles Mills to put up the iron fire escape that’s been lying on the ground at the rear of the court house for the past several months. The supervisors also authorized taking down and removing the dead tree in the front of the court house for a price of $65. In a final item, the board agreed to join Warren County’s supervisors in their petition to the State Corporation Commission for local hearings on Central Telephone's recent request for a rate increase. Medicare Can Cover Skilled Nursing Care Medicare hospital insurance can cover care in a skilled nursing facility for people in the Culpeper area when eligibility conditions are met, according to Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security Manager in Culpeper. Hospital insurance covers post-hospital care in a skilled nursing facility that takes part in Medicare when all of the following conditions are met: —The patient was in a hospital for at least 3 days in a row, not counting day of discharge. —The patient is transferred to the skilled nursing facility because he or she needs further care for a condition which was treated in the hospital. —The patient is admitted to the facility within a short time, usually 14 days after leaving the hospital. —A doctor certifies that skilled nursing or skilled rehabilitation services are needed and being received on a daily basis. —-The facility's utilization review committee or the professional standards review organization does not disapprove the stay. When all of these conditions are met, hospital insurance can pay for care for up to a maximum of 100 days in each benefit period, but only if the care is needed for that length of time. Hospital insurance pays all of the costs of covered services for the first 20 days and all but $25.50 for up to 80 more days. For more information about the eligibility conditions and the services Medicare can cover, contact the Culpeper Social Security office. The people there will be glad to answer any questions. The office is located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center, and the telephone number is (703) 825-3500. ++++ There are enough imitators and commonplace individuals without you. Act on your own judgment.

Stuart Tends Small Washington Vineyard By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Non Staff Writrr A visit to Billy Stuart’s Washington vineyard is a special pleasure that you would ordinarily associate with a trip to California, New York, or the wine-growing regions of Europe. It would be a mistake to say the Stuart is one of the growing number of Virginia farmers and gardeners who are growing grapes for table use or to sell for wine, juice, jam and jelly: Stuart is tending vines that were planted by his father, William Stuart, Sr., well before he was born and others that were planted by both men in the seventy-eight years since then. Stuart tends his grapes at his family home on Blue Ridge Avenue, coining here each summer from his home in Beltsville. When I visited him on a sunny afternoon he was deploring the condition of his vines and quoting Thomas Jefferson. “I couldn't get here at all this summer until the grapes were, just about ready to pick," he said. "1 have hired people to keep the grapes cleared out but the results put me in mind of what Thomas Jefferson said: ‘If you want something done send; but if you care about the outcome, co.' Stuart worked in Beltsville for the forage crop division of the Agricultural Research facility after his graduation from VPI and some graduate work at the University of Maryland. He says that grapes are not his specialty but his hobby. “I have had an advantage in making some of these more difficult varieties grow,” he said. “I may not know so much about them but I’ve always had access to those who do.” A tour of Stuart’s grape vines means a lot of picking and tasting and I was surprised by the wide differences in the tastes of the grapes. There is the Delaware, a very sweet dessert grape, the Loretto, a dense small juice grape, Vergennees, named after the French ambassador at the time of the Revolution, Urbana, a late ripening red for table use. Stuart has ^Concords - a truly American grape developed in Massachussetts in 1852 - and some other Concord types like Worden and Steuben. He has several varieties of white grapes - Niagra is one of these and some beautiful French double hybrids that hang on the vines in heavy clusters with each individual grape shaped like a teardrop rather than a sphere. Near Stuart's house are two rows of Clinton - a grape vine he says that is older than he. Around some of these vines Stuart has hung netting. but by the tracks in the muddy ground we could see that birds and bees were not the only critters stealing his grapes. In the soft dirt we found deer tracks, around the vines and also under the apple tree where we found a half-eaten apple left by a deer whose meal was interrupted. “Deer know what's good," Stuart said. "That was a Cox Orange Pippin - a real special apple.” Stuart told us that the Clinton grapes so sought after by deer had yielded fifty pounds last year from one row and thirty from the other row. His worst enemies are the birds, who drill holes in the grapes and suck out the juice. Then the hornets arrive, go through the holes the birds have made, and stay inside the grape until the job is finished. Although there were hornets around and inside many of the clusters we picked, none stung us and I assume they were just in too good a mood from the sweet juice to live up to their reputation for irritability. Jiudii aaiu nit uug wiiiwn bothers grapes most is the Japanese beetle, who eats the leaves, not the grapes, but weakens the vine enough to interfere with grape production. Other problems to contend with are Black Rot and Powdery Mildew, both of which plague area grape growers. Stuart suggested that those interested in cultivating grapes get the publications from the extension office on their care. "That’s where I get my information,” he said. Stuart said that grapes don’t really need any fertilizer, although some growers turn under a green manure between the rows. ‘‘Some people that I’ve given grape vines to have made that mistake," he said. “They’ve fertilized too heavily and gotten rank green growth and small, sparse grapes/’ ■ Stuart said that the European settlers here did not establish the American grapes. “They were here” he said. “When Leif Ericson landed on the Eastern coast he called the country Vineland because of the wild grapes growing so prolifically.” Stuart said that the American varieties tolerated a pest called the root louse. “When AmericanEuropean trade imported the root louse to Europe, several wine-growing countries were faced with ruin," he said. The problem was solved by using the American tolerant varieties for stock and grafting on the European vines. Stuart sells his grapes during good years but said that this year he won’t really have any more grapes to sell. —Rappahannock New* Photo/Thema Reynold* ENJOYING THE FRUIT OF THE VINE is Morgan Hay of Washington who samples grapes from a Clinton vine at the home of William Stuart in the town. The vines are about eighty years old and were planted by Mr. Stuart’s father who was a merchant (Washington Cash Store) in addition to his agricultural ventures. The aged vines are trained on supports and pruned carefully so they bear well in spite of their many years. He has some ripening now but they’re spoken for. “It takes a lot of work to produce a good crop of grapes,” he told me. “They need careful pruning in the winter and a lot of bug control throughout the growing season as well as controlling the diseases.” Stuart’s home on Blue Ridge Avenue is a huge Victorian house built about 1897 by George Hawkins, father of George Hawkins, Jr. of Sperryville. Stuart said that he has some letters from his father to Mr. Hawkins arranging to pick up the lumber in Culpeper with four teams of horses. His parents were William Stuart, Sf. of Stafford and Lucy Millen Stuart of Woodville. They picked a perfect spot for their new home right at the turn of the century. Stuart’s view from the back yard now looks out past the rows of neat grape vines over a field of wild flowers to the mountains in the south. . .7V, V&'wJafc VOTERS TAKE NOTE The office of the Registrar of Voters is open each Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Those who wish to register may also come to: Woodville - Burke’s Store, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11; Chester Gap - Fire Hall, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18; Flint Hill - Fire Hall, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25.

Warren ton Activities Center Provides Help, Opportunities For Mentally Retarded Adults When questioned about the things in life that make them happy, a group of mentally retarded adults said recently that having friends to share meals and experiences took top priority in their lives. Lucky for them, they now have the opportunity to gather daily at the Adult Developmental Activity Ceatier which meets in the Warrenton Presbyterian Church. For those who attend, the center provides an opportunity to socialize and learn essential life and prevocational skills. It also affords them the opportunity to enjoy the company of others who, like themselves, may be a little slow when it comes to learning new things. This program allows participants to learn vital prevocational skills as well as giving them a chance to become more familiar with community resources. Activities include field trips, lessons about coin recognition, safety, language and communication ITT"' development, and living and social skills. Above all, this program allows mentally retarded individuals an opportunity to try new things without fear of failure and rejection. Often a volunteer can help the staff by teaching mentally retarded individuals a skill or craft individually or assist the staff with the daily lesson activities. What this fosters is an improved selfimage, which after all, is the ingredient that allows all people to accomplish many of life’s tasks. Involvement with community individuals and organizations is being sought by the RappahannockRapidan Community Services Board.

Panther Tales By Richie Burke ft Lor! Frye During summer vocation, most students are thinking only of working or having a good time. One exception to this rule is Keith Settle who had a very adventurous and informative summer. Keith, a 17 year old senior, had the opportunity to attend Boy’s State at Lynchburg College. For those of you whom are not familiar with it, Boy’s State is a training ground for the potential leaders of tomorrow. Keith had the opportunity to spend a week, along with 700 other academically inclined young men, running a simulatec government. According to Keith the boys were divided into groups of approximately 65 members. Each group was known as a city. Within these cities, governors, senators, representatives, mayors, sheriffs and other important political figures were elected. The respective cities were in competition and were awarded either points or demerits for everything from cleanliness to governmental participation. Boone, the city from which Keith was treasurer, was the winning city. While participating in the Boy’s State program, Keith Welfare Budget May Be Short $10,000 In Local Funds responsibility for choosing a director," she added. "And it’s their sole responsibility?” Wood questioned. “Yes, it is,” responded Mrs. Buntin, noting that an okay from the regional welfare director is the only other approval needed. Latham interjected that he will continue to serve as an ex officio member until Mrs. Buntin's replacement is found. “According to her, your term is up today—you can’t continue,” Wood said. Desperate Need “We desperately need him to participate in the selection process (for a new superintendent)," Mrs. Buntain maintained. She noted that Latham has served more than eight years in the post of supervisor representative to the welfare board and knows both the job and its requirements. “We want him to continue to participate in the selection process. We really need his services!” she repeated. “If you want to appoint someone today, that’s fine with me.” Latham said, adding that he’s no longer willing to be a welfare board member even if he could be named for a third term. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin nominated H. B. Wood for the post. "No, no! I won’t accept,” Wood replied, nominating Baldwin instead. “I don’t have the time,” the Hampton District representative countered. “How much time does it take?” Wood asked. The welfare board meets once every month with two or three special meetings usually called during a year, according to Mrs. Buntin. Wood suggested that Latham continue as the supervisors' representative for the time being. “That will give the other members time to think about it and we can name somebody next month. They might find more time than they think they’ve got.” With the issue of supervisor representative tabled, Mrs. Buntin moved onto budget problems she’s recently uncovered. In a detailed review, she explained that action by the supervisors to eliminate $5,456 for administration of the fuel assistance program from the welfare budget, their decision to transfer an additional $4,000 from purchased services to indirect cost allocation plus adjustments made to the budget by the state office have apparently left the county approximately $10,000 short in local funds. Accountant Services Needed The transfer of $4,000 to indirect costs must be justified by a complicated plan “which I feel sure would take an accountant to do,” Mrs. Buntin said, explaining that for this reason, she’d dropped the allocation from the 1981-82 welfare budget. In addition, she said that she didn’t know in which category to place the $4,000. In accordance with new state regulations which require the welfare board chairman to certify that the county has appropriated all 1 necessary funds for the local share of social services, Mrs. Buntin said she’d undertaken a comprehensive review of this year’s budget. “I found the shortfall in parts,” she reported. According to the former welfare department head, she sent Latham who has also served as welfare chairman, a memo in August that purchased services had a shortage. Then she discovered that with the elimination of fuel assistance administration, the supervisors had also dropped ten percent of the salary plus fringe benefits for the senior eligibility worker. In addition, Mrs. Buntin said she had to revise the entire purchased services program two months ago to bring expenditures in line with a 20 percent reduction in federal funds allocated to the state for that welfare category. “And we have another problem,” she continued, informing the supervisors that the local welfare department is going to be computerized. The equipment has all been supplied by the state “but we have nothing to put it on...We have to buy a table and a form catcher (for the material that comes out of the printer),” Mrs. Buntin said, at a cost of $320. She said her computations show $146,097 available for welfare programs from state and federal sources. Subtracted from the total welfare budget of $192,394, that leaves $46,297 that must There Are Many Ways To Enjoy The Fruits Of The Vine By THERESA R K\ ISOLDS Kn|>t»nhuniio«-k V-»»» Staff f ritrr The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has sent us a host of information on picking, freezing, canning, juicing and jelly-ing the grapes that are so plentiful right now. Some of their ideas sound pretty good, so I’m reprinting them here with their permission. If you have a special recipe for grapes that you would like to share with other Rappahannock County cooks, let us know here at the newspaper. The VDAC calls their publication “A Bunch of Grape Ideas” and they’ve come up with some easy treats like these: Quickie* Plop plump grapes in vanilla yogurt or ice cream (from Virginia dairies, of course) and serve in parfait or wine glasses. Garnish with a grape cluster. Or for a light lunch, toss grapes and chopped walnuts in cottage cheese. Add a dash of lemon juice and cinnamon and serve on lettuce leaves. Make cute fruit kebabs by spearing grapes, apple chunks and cheese cubes with too*11 picks. For a patriotic dessert, arrange concentric circles of red, white and blue grapes atop a cheesecake. Enjoy the bounty of Virginia's summer fruit basket with this tasty twosome. Fill cantaloupe halves with fresh grapes and drop a dollop of your favorite yogurt on top. Sprinkle with crunchy cereal. Perk up that leftover chicken or tuna salad with seedless or halved and seeded grapes. Finger Food or Frill Serve individual bunches of grapes in bowls for eating with fingers. Accompany with dishes of sour cream and brown sugar for delicious dipping. Frosted Grapes—Make this sparkly garnish by dipping small bunches of grapes into lightly beaten egg white, then dust with sugar or fruit flavored gelatin. Place on racks to dry. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger for extra zip. Perk up a party punch with frozen grape clusters. As an ‘‘ice float,” they will keep the punch cool without diluting the flavor. Use grapes anytime of year as a delicious garnish to decorate baked ham, barbecued chicken, a holiday turkey or molded gelatin salads.

The job of welfare supervisor is difficult enough as it is, she continued. “I’d like to be able to hand over a :lean type of operation, rhat’s why I’m here today.” "What’s your bottom line recommendation on this?” asked supervisor Charles Estes. “Do we need a meeting with (county accountant) Cox?” “I don’t see how we can decide what to do without that...I may be wrong but I’ve spent a month on this and I can’t come up with any other solution (besides the $10,000 shortfall in local funds),” the retired welfare superintendent answered. Will Stay Until Decided “I’d like to be through with this but I’ll stick to it until we get it thrashed out,” Mrs. Buntin went on. "A key factor in the demand for local funds is companion services.” She reported that the welfare department did a public survey a couple of years ago on which services should be given priority and found that local people consider services to the aged most important. “So therefore we put the emphasis on companion services.” With companion services, the welfare department pays for house work necessary to keep senior citizens at home rather than in nursing homes r l couitT&r nont/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes •Cabins •Additions •Remodeling Box 147 FWnt Hill, Vs. 703*675*3897 Va.

Applicants must all meet strict eligiblity criteria on income, property holdings and other factors that relate to financial resources. The county currently has eight clients receiving companion services, according to Mrs. Buntin. Funds for that program will be cut next month because of reductions in federal funding for purchased services, she said, a move that will require a cutback in hours allowed for the household help. "They don’t know this yet," she reported. Mrs. Buntin told the supervisors that if she’s correct about the $10,000 shortage in local snare ui wcuoic iwu auu « additional funds aren’t appropriated, “there’s only one thing to cut and that’s companion services.” Estes asked what will happen to the eight clients if the program is eliminated. “Two will definitely have to get nursing home care, maybe three. The rest, I suppose, will somehow get along,” Mrs. Buntin answered. In response, the board of supervisors asked Clerk Diane Bruce to arrange a meeting with the county’s accountant to go over the welfare budget and resolve the question of the suspected $10,000 shortage.

School has finally settled down and gotten back into regular routine. Seniors are trying out their new power and beasties are trying to convince everyone that they are freshmen. Clubs are starting to organize and meetings are scheduled for the following week. The Varsity Club met last Thursday and elected new officers they are as follows: Rusty Settle, President; Lori Frye, Vice-President; Pam Estes, Treasurer; Ann Oliver, Secretary. The sponsor for the upcoming year is Mr. Toth. The Varsity club is responsible for the concession stand at all home basketball games with the proceeds going toward buying jackets and shirts for the members. At the end of the year the Varsity Club purchases a gift for the school. At the meeting we discussed buying a rubber 4 floor mat with a panther on it for the front hall of the school. "Attention Parents” if your son or daughter is a senior and is being unusually nice the past two weeks be prepared. Class rings are scheduled to arrive this week and the "balance” is due. The Girls Varsity basketball team traveled to Fluvanna Tuesday night. The Varsity team came up on the losing end, but showed the pride and determination that it takes to be champions. The Junior Varsity team came out the victor defeating Fluvanna. Thursday night the Lady Panthers played their first home game, competing with the Manassas Park Cougars. Both the Rappahannock Varsity and J.V. proved to be too might for the Manassas team and easily defeated them. LAND & DWELLINGS HUNGER RUN meanders thru this loveable earthy parcel of 8.9 acres.
