■* l± ~ 1 '' t r * r-; -* n ^ w ‘--i / i • •- • ^ x - I y sa: Campaign 81 General Assembly Delegate Candidates Guest Has 10 Years Experience Federal budget cuts coupled with inflation have reduced the flow of dollars from Washington to Richmond, making money a key issue in this year’s political contests. As an example, Republican candidate for Governor Marshall Coleman has promised to veto any proposal for a tax increase in Virginia. While few politicians will advocate a tax hike, Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, Republican incumbent seeking re-election from the 18th legislative district, stops short of following Coleman’s lead in rejecting one out of hand. “I went for it two years ago,” said Guest when asked if he would support a gas tax hike in response to the highway department’s claim that declining revenues are inadequate for construction and maintenance of the state’s secondary system. “If the support is there from the people of the 18th district for more roads, yes, I would support another increase.” But first, Guest emphasized, the highway department’s Richmond offices “need to ‘skinny up’ some more.” The only roads now being built in Virginia are those with federal participation, basically interstate and arterial roads, Guest said. “If we’re not building secondary roads, we certainly don’t need all those engineers and draftsmen. Cutting down on employees through attrition will give us some money...We need to look very carefully at every vacancy with an eye towards keeping it vacant.” In addition, road specifications should be examined from the standpoint of “necessities rather than niceties,” Guest (Continued on Page 8) Catron Aims At Working Class Richard Catron, Democratic candidate fot delegate from the 18th legislative district, has aimed his campaign at the working class, a group he feels has been respresented poorly by his opponent during ten yean in Virginia's General Assembly. “Mr. Guest doesn't relate to all levels of society—that’s what I’m being told in Warren County (where Guesl lives),” Catron said. “Numerous working people have told me that they don’1 feel free to call him.” What would he do differently than his opponent il elected to represent the counties of Page, Warren Clarke and Rappahannock? “I would be available tc everyone. I’d speak to civie clubs and organization; throughout the district anc I’d have well-known citizen; in each county to serve a; contact persons. In addition before and during the legislative session, I’d visit the local governing bodies in each county,” Catron promised. Declining gas tax revenues and increased construction and maintenance costs have brought a halt to building secondary roads in Virginia. To ease the financial squeeze on the state’s Department of Highways and Trans portation, Catron proposes that large three-axle, 18wheel transports be charged higher taxes. “Truckers are not paying their fair share...They’re the ones that cause the road damage.” “In addition, the highway department must reduce through attrition those employees that have been assigned to new construction. If the funds aren’t there to build new roads, we don't need them,” Catron maintained. (Continued cm Page 6) Conflict Of Interest Cited In Recent Appointment By DAPHINf: HI TCBIINSON Nu|»|Mihunn«K'k "Muff Vi rilrr According to an opinion issued this week by attorney general Marshall Coleman, members of the Rappahannock County School Board may not serve as officers of the county on any other local governing body. Coleman’s ruling means that Wakefield District representative Robert Eastham wilt have to choose between continuing on the county school board and accepting appointment to the Rappahannock welfare board. In addition, Hampton District representative Newbill Miller will have to resign either from the school board or the county planning commission; he cannot continue to serve on both. Coleman rendered his opinion in a letter to commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner dated October 12. According to Baumgardner, he asked for the attorney general’s opinion at the request of supervisor H. B. Wood who nominated Eastham to the welfare post. Baumgardner noted that Eastham declined to take the oath of office as welfare (Continued on Page 14) Judgeship Authorized A new judgeship for the 20th circuit of Rappahannock, Fauquier and Loudoun has been authorized by the Judicial Council of Virginia. According to Loudoun circuit court clerk Frederick R. Howard, the Judicial Council voted unanimously in favor of the new position following investigation and report by the executive secretary of the Virginia Supreme Court. The council, made up of judges, legislators and private citizens, recommends action on new judgeships to the Virginia General Assembly which must then vote to formally establish and fill the position. The request for an additional judge originated with Judges Carlton Penn of Leesburg and Shore Robertson of Warrenton. According to Robertson, both men feel that a third judge on the 20th circuit would enable them to provide better service to area citizens. ‘‘We’re stymied now. We have no flexibility due to our enormously heavy case load,” Robertson explained. The recommendation from the Judicial Council calls for the new judgeship to become effective on July 1, 1982. Voters Will Choose Under Virginia s new redistricting plan, voters will choose on November 3 between Republican incumbent R. “Andy” Quest and Democratic challenger Richard Catron for delegate to the General Assembly from the 18th legislative district of Rappahannock, Warren, Clarke and Page counties. Both candidates are new to Rappahannock County. Guest is a five-term Richmond veteran but prior to redistricting, represented Warren, Clarke, Frederick, Fauquier and the city of Winchester. The Warren County farmer and businessman is a graduate of Yale University and holds an honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps Reserves. Currently, Guest serves as chairman of the board of trustees of Warren Memorial Hospital, on the board of directors of Peoples Bank of Front Royal and as a member of various civic organizations. In the General Assembly’s House of Delegates, he’s presently on committees of roads and internal navigation, finance, conservation and natural resources and agriculture. He «i«# ->«as appointed by the General Assembly to the Virginia State Crime Commission. Guest is married to the former Mary Scott Derrick of South Carolina and is the father of three children—Bill, 21. Mary Elizabeth, 17, and Raymond, 15. Richard Catron has taught vocational agriculture at Luray High School for 17 years and currently is serving his second term on the Page County Board of Supervisors. He is also a member of the Lord Fairfax Planning District Commission and was chairman of the commission for two years. Born in Rural Retreat, he lived in Wythe County for 17 years, attended Virginia Tech, earning undergraduate and masters degrees in agricultural education. With his wife Josephine, he also owns and manages the Beef Baron restaurant outside Luray. The couple has three children and four grandchildren. For Teachers Merit Pay Proposed By IMI'HM-: HI TCHIYSON Kii|»|N«hiuiti<M*k Vn-Muff Vk ril«*r ' Robert Eastham repeated his call for implementation of merit pay at last week’s meeting of the Rappahannock school board, maintaining that a differentiated pay system to reward superior performance is the only way to improve the caliber of the county’s teaching staff. Reading from a prepared statement, Eastham said that public school teachers have the most important job of all occupations and that those who measure up to the responsibilities deserve fair compensation. But despite efforts in recruitment and selection of teachers and despite on-thejob assistance, all teachers do not meet the same standard of excellence, he said, leaving no realistic alternative but adoption of differentiated pay for differentiated performance. Eastham noted that he had voted against this year’s 16 percent pay increase for two reasons: partially because the size of the increase was out of step with budget cuts at the state and federal level and primarily because jt was an "across the board” raise for all school personnel that told teachers it made no difference how well they performed, only how long they’d served. According to Eastham, not a single county resident that he’s spoken with including teachers supports the concept of “across the board” pay raises. Teachers here will accept a merit pay system under the condition that their performance be fairly evaluated, he said. In the past, Eastham continued, teacher evaluation has been ineffective, unfair and almost non-existent. The Wakefield District representative noted that new superintendent Robert Estabrook has promised to install a fair and easily understandable evaluation system which will continue throughout the school year and include assistance to teachers who need help. In a prepared resolution, Eastham proposed that: (1) the superintendent report on progress in setting up the evaluation system as the January and May. 1982. board meetings, (2) when the superintendent and school board agree that an effective and fair evaluation system is in place, a differentiated pay scale based on that evaluation be adopted, and (3) the differentiated pay scale be implemented prior to the start of school budget work for 1983. In response to Eastham’s proposal, school board member Nelson Lane said he liked the idea of merit pay but saw problems with mechanics of instituting such a system. Board member Nancy Reeve added that she’d recently read information which led her to question the advisability of- adopting a merit pay system. Studies show that increased pay does not necessarily bring better performance, she said. Reeve acknowledged that employees require a certain level of compensation in order to meet financial needs. But beyond that level, appreciation seems to get more of a result than salary raises in terms of improved per(Continued on Page 14) —KaptMhanmx'k Nfw, |>h,„„/s.

Gatewood Found Guilty Of Cash Store Break-In B\ DAPHNE III TCI HYSON Ku|»|»iihuiui4M'k Vt H« staff VI rili-r In a last minute reversal between his arraignment last Wednesday at 9 a.m. and the scheduled start of trial at 10, Albert Wayne Gatewood changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on charges of grand larceny and breaking and entering. In response to questioning from Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson, Gatewood said he was not admitting factual guilt but was willing to enter a guilty plea in a court of law. Gatewood, 24, of Washington, was charged with grand larceny and breaking and entering in connection with the theft of two guns from the Washington Cash Store on May 28. As part of the Commonwealth’s prima facie case. Cash Store proprieter C. E. Giles, Jr., testified that he found a window in the front of the store broken as well as the glass of the gun case when he arrived on the property the morning of May 29. Missing were a 357 magnum pistol with a wholesale value of $157 and a 22 calibre pistol with a wholesale value of $60. he reported. Ronald Hawkins, deputy sheriff in Warren County, said he'd searched the area around the store after arriving with Giles and seeing evidence of a break-in and found a baseball cap in the next-door field which he turned over to Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin. Buntin testified that he went to see Gatewood after receiving the hat. The defendant denied any knowledge of the break-in “but he did admit he had a hat (with the same logo design) and that he’d lost it the night of the break-in,” Buntin said. Thomas Glasker, final witness for the Commonwealth, testified that he was with Gatewood in Washington on the night of May 28. According to Glasker, the defendant indicated he was going up to the Cash Store. Glasker said he told Gatewood the two were "already into more hassles about stealing” but that Gatewood insisted nobody would know about it and then headed toward the store. When he saw Gatewood later the same evening, Glasker said, the defendant showed him a 357 magnum that he recognized from being on display at the Cash Store. Gatewood also had another, smaller hand gun and was missing the baseball hat he’d had on earlier in the evening, according to Glasker. In response to the prima facie case. Judge Robertson found Gatewood guilty on both counts, asked for a presentence report and set sentencing for 9 a.m. on December 17.

Falls * Operate Old Fashioned Country Store~~ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON RappahanmKi Nt*w» Staff % rilrr It was a misplaced sign that first drew Jimmy and Myrtle Falls into the business of running a country store. A quarter of a century has passed since and they’re still at the job, dispensing gas, groceries and a whole catalog of household items from Burke’s Store in Woodville. In 1955, Jimmy worked for Pepsi Cola at the company’s Warrenton plant. Driving back and forth to Fauquier County, he passed through Sperryville and one afternoon spotted a “for sale” sign in front of the village's Corner Store. He stopped to make inquiries but before he’d gotten very far, he learned that the sign applied to the house next door—not to the general store. His interest in buying the store was just the impetus that the owners needed, however. “They contacted us a few days later and said they were interested in selling after all,” Jimmy recalled. In those days, there were fewer outlets for shoppers in Rappahannock County. “Travel wasn’t quite as convenient then, either,” Falls noted. To meet the demand from folks who couldn’t get to the big cities of Culpeper, Front Royal and Warren ton, the Corner Store carried a much wider selection of merchandise with the side room that’s now devoted to antiques stocked floor to ceiling with dry goods. Jimmy and Myrtle stayed busy serving a steady stream of customers. Saturdays were particularly hectic as the employees of the old apple co-op came to town to do their weekly shopping at the Corner Store. "The local people were good patrons,” Jimmy remembered. Even though it was a case of mistaken sign identity that actually brought the Falls together with the Corner Store for ten years, it seems that Myrtle was destined to be a storekeeper. Her mother, Mrs. Weldon Burke, opened Burke’s Store in Woodville for Myrtle and her brother Garfield. “We worked there as teenagers but then we lost interest and Mom had to take it back over. It was too confining for a young person.” Then six years ago, when Mrs. Burke died, Myrtle and Jimmy took over management rather than see the business closed. Myrtle’s elderly father still opens up every morning. “He enjoys it.

Jimmy himself takes over the cash register until about 9 a.m. when he leaves to manage the cow-calf operation at the family farm near the old site of Rudasill’s Mill on Route 621. He returns later in the evening when the farm work is finished and stays till the store closes at night. In the in-between hours, Myrtle and June Clark man the counters while Mr. Burke settles in his special chair next to the stove. “He really enjoys meeting people,” Jimmy reported. The old store has changed little since Charlie Hawkins built it with lumber from Hawkins Mountain about 80 years ago. The dark wood floors are scuffed with the heel marks from farm boots worn by generations of farmers and orchardists. The counters are the same glass counters that held penny candy in grandma and grandpa’s day. The shelves now stocked with denim garments once held a selection of wearing apparel for the entire family. Today, the Falls’ inventory reflects the changing times that take Rappahannock residents to shopping centers in neighboring counties to buy the week’s groceries and outfit the kids for school. They carry all the necessities—the canned goods, sugar, flour, milk and eggs that disappear first when the cupboard runs bare. They stock hardware, a few paints, denim jeans and overalls and a complete line of boots and men’s shoes. Country merchandising has changed drastically over the years and is still changing, according to Myrtle. It is difficult to secure all of the merchandise needed for a small store to serve a very rural community because everything today is geared to the large and super chains. “We cannot afford to purchase or nor do we have room to store such large quantitites of stock and most wholesalers do not want to handle small orders or break up shipments,’’ said Myrtle. “The little man, private enterprise, has a time hanging on.” Though it was before their time in the business, in years '—Rappahannock New* Photn/S. Latham WOODVILLE MERCHANTS Jimmy and Myrtle Falls have been in the merchandising business most of their adult lives, first in Sperryville and now Woodville. The country store, though drastically changed over the years, still serves as a sort of community center in rural areas. gone by, much of the merchandise was not prepackaged. Sugar, dry beans, soda, peanuts, brown sugar, and black pepper were all bought in bulk then weighed or measured out by the merchant, but that was before the Falls’ became shop keepers. However, Mr. Burke rememberd when the country store was also the community center, barter post and post office and said the post office in Woodville was at one time in the store. “Folks brought cured meat, poultry, eggs and walnut kernels to trade for goods and groceries. We’ve taken in more eggs here in a week than you could find in all of Rappahannock County today, and now the government doesn’t allow us to buy home cured meat and sell it because it isn’t government inspected.” Old time merchants had a big stalk of golden bananas suspended ffom the ceiling instead of in “hands” on the ^/tTice^e FFhe FjSuiKcAi»omen o^ &ar4&A. jov* jtfouAe FFour- am/ t^w«i £/a/e *F><ymmUtee& in tafcmuna S$ fy^lobt ^/vncwe ^F/iawA ^/ou l^o: —the folk who so graciously allowed us to open their homes to an appreciative and interested public— —to those who worked so long and so hard to grow, dry and create the beautiful flower arrangements for sale during the house tour— —to those who helped at the tour houses as hostesses, with tickets, and with parking— —and for those many other folk who cooperated and supported in such a variety of ways, this annual event that gives us the opportunity to share with others the beauty and hospitality of our Rappahannock County S$4LOWl, 01V* ^AaTV^A. fjfye rrJuoom*n o^ &ar4&A ^ ftfututy. fc/u&cvfux/ ^AuvoA WELDON BURKE opens the Woodville store in the mornings and stays until he is relieved by Mrs. Clark or Mrs. Falls, his daughter.

School Board Okays 4 New Gas Pumpers In response to a request from superintendent Robert Estabrook, the Rappahannock school board at last Tuesday's meeting added four indviduals to the list of persons authorized to pump gas for school vehicles. “I’m finding it most difficult to carry out the policy,” said Estabrook in reference to the school board’s action last year to limit gas pumping authorization to the superintendent and transportation supervisor only. He reported that he’d discussed alternatives with bus supervisor Allie Huff and those individuals assigned school cars and had come up with a form to be filled out each time a vehicle is filled up, including name of person dispensing the gas, odometer reading and amount of gas pumped. In addition, Estabrook proposed that Ray Burke at the bus shop garage, assistant superintendent Gerald Lysik, high school principal Dennis Wingfield and assistant principal John Toth also be authorized to pump gas. In regard to the current policy which designates only Estabrook and Allie Huff as pumpers, “to quote Mr. Huff, ‘it ain’t being followed,’ ” Estabrook reported. “That’s nothing new...Just as with other school policies that the board sets, those responsible ignore them and tell us nothing!” school board member Robert Eastham charged. “If what we have now is unmanageable, can this be done? Will it (the new policy with six designated gas pumpers) be carried out?” asked board member Nancy Reeve. “Yes,” Estabrook replied, adding that all school employees have an obligation to do as the school board directs and in this instance, several were equally guilty of failing to comply exactly with the board’s directive. “Mr. Huff deserves credit for being honest with me,” the superintendent said. After directing that the new report forms be checked for abnormalities and tanks be locked when gas is not being pumped by an athorized dispenser, the board' voted unanimously—with Eastham abstaining—to expand the list of authorized pumpers. Writing Award An offer from nationally syndicated columnist James J. Kilpatrick of an annual $500 writing a,ward was accepted unanimously by the board. The award is to be presented to the Rappahannock County High School graduate who has demonstrated the greatest talent for writing in his or her senior year. The high school faculty will forward suggestions to Kilpatrick on how the winner is to be selected.

To avoid administrative problems, teachers are to decide upon a single company that offers intensive care and cancer policies. In regard to the long debated capital improvements program for the county high school, Estabrook reported that in his capacity as educational consultant to the board, he is currently reviewing all the file data on the subject. This must be done, said Estabrook before he can determine whether current space is adequate or inadequate. “I assume you’re waiting for me to finish my homework before you get back into this arena,” the superintendent said, adding that he will present a report as soon as he finishes his study. Attendance Down “I’m storry I can’t show you more heartwarming figures,” said Estabrook in reporting that attendance in the county’s two public schools is still below what was projected for the current year. The budget for 1981-82 was based on an enrollment of 1,121, approximately five percent above the actual enrollment to date of 1,067. In addition, Estabrook noted, state aid for education payments made through October of this year are based on an enrollment of 1,131, almost six percent above the actual number of students in school. “I’m not sure exactly what the budget impact will be...At this point, we’re in for a drop,” Estabrook said, adding that state reimbursement will be affected for the first time in November by the lower enrollment figures. Competency Testing Questioned .Board member Robert Eastham won support from his fellow board members on suggestions for changes in the state’s competency testing program. J . . Hour years ago, Virginia's jGeneral Assembly—deceived by complaints that the state’s high school graduates were earning “rubber diplomas"—instituted a requirement that students demonstrate minimum competencies in math, reading and civics in order to graduate, Eastham said. Of the 62,203 nonhandicapped students tested in the class of 1980, the first to be affected by the new requirement, only 33 seniors didn't pass, Eastham reported. Those 33 students who failed to demonstrate minimum competency comprised 99.92 percent of seniors in Virginia’s public schools who completed the course units necessary for graduation, he noted. "Rappahannock did even better. We were perfect” with all graduating seniors passing the minimum competency tests in reading and math, the Wakefield representative said. According to Eastham, the state board of education’s reaction to having 99.92 percent pass the competency exams was “Something is rotten in the state ot Virginia!” In turn, the state 10% OFF In stock merchandise CASH DISCOUNT We must make room for new stock arriving daily —-—-0le ^tite Stop South Gate Shopping Center Culpeper Hours: Mon. - Thurs. 9 to 6 Fri. - 9 to 8 department of education’s “vague response” to the state board’s concern was to suggest that (1) the tests be made more difficult; (2) a higher passing score be set; or (3) students be given fewer opportunities to achieve a passing grade on the tests, Eastham said. Now is the time for the Rappahannock board to forward its input to Richmond, he advised. Reading from a prepared statement, Eastham suggested that “dryruns” or preliminary tests given currently in 10th and 11th grades be eliminated with students allowed three opportunities to pass in October, January and late May of their senior year. He proposed that a passing grade of 70 percent on the raw score he maintained, that test results be compiled and graded in Richmond and that the test itself be revised to make it a more realistic measurement of competency skills with less reliance on multiple choice questions. Board member Newbill Miller said he had “no problem” with supporting Eastham’s resolution but noted that questions have to be multiple choice if the tests are to be graded by machine. Replying to Eastham’s suggestions, superintendent Eastabrook pointed out that localities were permitted to hand-score only the tests administered in May in order to ensure results were available prior to graduation. Local hand-scoring was an option, not a mandate, he said, adding that Rappahannock’s tests were scored in Richmond. As to elimination of preliminary testing, Estabrook questioned whether giving competency exams for the first time in October of the senior year would allow enough time for remediation. "If the primary purpose of any test is to seek improvement, you' have to allow time to effect that improvement.” Currently, the raw score on competency tests is not a Wakefield Students Visit Baltimore Forty-eight students of Wakefield School’s fourth, fifth, and sixth grades will leave Thursday for a threeday trip to Baltimore, Md.

The group will spend Saturday afternoon at The Enchanted Forest, a large amusement park. reference point at all in determining the passing grade of 70 percent, according to the superintendent. A scale known as the RASH scale is used, he said, and accordingly, on a test with 60 questions, a student needs only to answer approximately half correctly in order to achieve a 70 percent grade. As far as revising the test so that it gives a more realistic measurement of competency skills with less reliance on multiple choice questions, Estabrook noted that the reading test is not even designed to measure minimum reading skills. The test, which uses labels on medicine bottles and excerpts from insurance policies as source material, is “more a test of basic knowledge than reading skills,” he said. In addition, Estabrook told the board, “multiple choice questions can measure high levels of intellectual skills” without creating the enormous scoring problems encountered with essay type questions. Eastham counted that he wasn’t suggesting use of essay questions but rather “fill in the blank” type, particularly for the math portion of the test. As for allowing ample time for remediation, teachers know from kindergarten on that students will be given minimum competency tests as seniors, he added. The board gave unanimous endorsement to Eastham’s proposals, dropping only the question for less reliance on multiple choice questions. In other action, the board authorized: —renovation of a shop classroom to include addition of' a window and a heating duct with a cost ceiling of $200. —purchase of a 1978 Plymouth from the state highway department depot for $1,400 to use as a driver’s education car.

RIALTO* I OVERESTIMATING FLAWS I * u w» v isii i a REALTOR who has not seen prospects instantly turned off toward purchasing a home by a peeling paint on the outside; a lawn overgrown with weeds or littered with debris; a dirty kitchen, worn carpeting or shabby wallpaper. On occasion, overestimating these flaws can 1 be a mistake. Don’t automatically let surface shortcomings cause you to reject the house. You may be passing up an excellent purchase. If the location is good and other properties in the neighborhood are valued at . a higher amount, it may be worth your taking a longer look. 4 Many of the clean-up, fix up and paint-up jobs can be done at little cost. If an older house, apparently serious defects may not be so serious after all. Often they can be corrected for a few hundred dollars. Of course, check on the cost of repairs before you buy. Armed with fix-up costs you may be able to negotiate an excellent buy. X ~ 'HM HI If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22,1981 Vote Nov. 3 . . . For Guest For the - past ten years, Delegate Raymond R. "Andy” Guest has provided effective representation for our neighbors in Warren, Clarke, Fauquier and Frederick counties. We feel he will do the same as the delegate from the new 18th legislative district and for that reason, the Rappahannock News endorses Andy Guest. His five terms in the General Assembly have led to seats on four important committees—agriculture, roads and internal navigation, conservation and natural resources and finance. His seniority gives him influence he can wield to Rappahannock’s advantage; influence that a freshman delegate can’t begin to approach, no matter how hard working or dedicated he may be. In his campaign, Guest has visited county offices and talked with local government officials to learn their problems. He attended this month’s meeting of the Rappahannock school board to offer his services as liaison in Richmond. We feel that the interest he’s shown in Rappahannock during the campaign will still be there after the election. We don’t think Andy Guest will stay on his side of the mountain, focusing only on concerns in Warren and Clarke. His commitment to preserving farm land and controlling land use has been demonstrated time and again in the General Assembly over the past ten years. His position on both issues reflects the general sentiment here. In addition, Andy Guest'is one of the few Virginia legislators to maintain a full-time office in his district, putting him just a phone call away. Rappahannock lost a friend in Richmond when the state’s re-districting plan moved George Beard over to Culpeper and Fauquier. We can make a new friend, however, in the reelection of Andy Guest. . . . for Robb In the national election last year, many felt that the results showed the winds of change sweeping the country, blowing Republicans into office from the US president down to state legislators. But the effects of this change remain to be seen, and in the meantime, wtftt Virginia needs is Strong leadership from someone who is not willing to accept national Republican platforms just because those policies are Republican. Democratic candidate for governor Charles S. Robb is just such a man. Mr. Robb freely admits that he supports—in theory—Reagan tax cut measures, attempts to reduce federal spending and balance the budget. But he does not support wholeheartedly the entire package of proposals—he prefers to support only those policies which are best for Virginia. As a Democratic lieutenant governor, Mr. Robb has furnished nonpartisan support of the Republican governor when he genuinely felt the action was in the best interest of the state. This support was often the basis of criticism from members of his own party. Mr. Robb has four years experience working with state legislators in his role as lieutenant governor, and this experience has left him well-equipped to deal with legislators in the next four years. In addition, he is currently chairman of the National Conference of Lieutenant Governors, a prestigious post which has given him the benefit of learning how other states may be dealing successfully with problems similar to those which face Virginians. Mr. Robb is a proven leader and administrator, and he has demonstrated through his record that he has the expertise to guide Virginia through the first years of the uncertain 80s. In the race for governor, he is the best choice voters have Nov. 3. . . . for Davis While the other candidates for state office this year have stressed their experience as legislators or state officials, Dick Davis, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, has stressed his experience in meeting the needs of local governments. And he has the record to back him up. As mayor of Portsmouth he utilized sound business management to turn the city’s $3 million deficit into a $2 million balance before he left office to become chairman of the state Democratic party in 1980. He is a selfmade millionaire who understands sound fiscal policy and has the knowledge to put it into practice. In his role as lieutenant governor, he has pledged that he will be an ombudsman in disputes which arise between state and local governments. He also says he will work to streamline state and regional services to insure that costly duplication is avoided. Mr. Davis also supports conflict of intent legislation for state officials vital to fair administration of government programs And finally, Mr. Davis supports a repeal of sales tax on food and nonprescription drugs provided alternative sources of revenue can be found. Because he is committed to working closely with local governments if he is elected and because he has the proven business experience to help guide Virginia through the precarious economic yean ahead, Dick Davis should be elected lieutenant governor Nov. 3. and for Baliles • • • Both candidates for attorney general have waged a low-key, gentlemanly campaign which has resulted in a large number of undecided votes in this critical race both in Fauquier County and the state. But one of the candidates is by far the most experienced and the best qualified to serve in the state’s top law enforcement post. The best man for the job is Gerald L. Baliles, the Democratic candidate. Mr. Baliles already has spent eight years in the attorney general’s office. From 1967 to 1972 he served as assistant attorney general specializing in problems with natural resources, conservation and economic development—issues which are of vital importance to voters in the coming decade. Then from 1972 to 1975 he served as deputy attorney general supervising cases dealing with land use, welfare, consumer protection and nuclear regulation. In 1976 he was elected to the House of Delegates, and he serves on committees for appropriations and natural resources and is a member of the 'tate Water Study Commission. Mr. Baliles is known to his colleagues as a thorough and tireless worker, and he demonstrated his abilities by getting the right-turn-onred bill passed. Because he has shown he is serious about controlling crime by taking the lead in anti-crime efforts and because he is the most experienced in other areas vital to the future of the Commonwealth, Mr. Baliles is Fauquier’s best choice for attorney general. APPLES Virtues of the Apple JHie «pple is such a common fruit that very few persons are familiar with its remarkably efficacious medicinal properties. Everybody ought to know that the very best thing they can do is to eat apples just before retiring for the night. Persons uninitiated in the mysteries of the fruit are liable to throw up their hands in horror at the visions of dyspepsia which such a suggestion may summon up; but no harm can come to even a delicate system by the eating of ripe and juicy apples just before going to bed. The apple is excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid in easily digested shape than other fruits. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. This is not all. The apple helps the kidney secretions and prevents calculous growths, while it obviates indigestion and is one of the best-known preventives of disrates of the throat. Everybody should be familiar with such knowledge. (From the Detroit Bulletin of Pharmacy, year undetermined, maybe 1889 or 90, but very old from the look of the type and yellowed paper.

HUTCHINSON, Rappalumnorfc Staff Writer Only two Sperryville property owners showed up at Monday’s meeting of the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority, giving credance to the contentions that people in the community aren't at all interested in whether or not the long delayed sewage treatment system is constructed. “It appears that the people of Sperryville aren’t going to be able to afford any type of (sewage treatment) plant,” said Rudy Frye. “It’s important to clean up the river but not at the expense of an unnecessary tax burden on the local people...(bui!ding the sewage treatment plant) will not accomplish anything but to satisfy the state,” he claimed. “It goes beyond cleaning up the river,” countered WSA chairman Carson Johnson, pointing to health hazards posed by ground water contamination from the community’s malfunctioning septic fields. “People don’t seem to be that interested in the socalled septic system because they know what it’s going to cost...It’s going to be a boondoggle, just a mess!” Frye insisted. “They may not be able to afford not to- id© it,” responded Johnson. The people of Sperryville have been living with the health hazards caused by sewage disposal in flood plains soils for 100 years, Frye argued. "But it’s getting worse. Our children—all of us—are drinking contaminated water and it’s not going to get any better until we do something about it,” the WSA chairman maintained. Bob Dennis, secretarytreasurer of the authority, explained that it’s the WSA’s reponsibility to work with residents of the community, health department officials, the State Water Control Board and other involved agencies on a feasible means - of eliminating the flow of raw sewage into the Thornton River from the village’s malfunctioning septic fields, a situation that’s ranked as the fifth most serious health hazard in the state. First Too Costly , The first sewage treatment system designed for Sperryville was rejected by the WSA as too expensive when cost projections came in far over the available grant funding, a second alternative—a mound leach system on the WSA’s five acres on the outskirts of the village—was recently rejected by the health department and State Water Control Board both on the grounds that high waters in Sperryville’s flood plain could render the system inoperable as much as 20 percent of the time. The WSA is now working with engineers on a third choice, a small package treatment plant. In addition to design proposals, the engineers will present options on financing the project at the required public hearing tentatively set for January, 1982, Dennis reported. “There’s a question whether the county as a ' whole will want to subsidize i it—that’s another issqp,” he. a added. > As to what action may be v taken by '“’the‘“’'health’ department or state Water Control Board if nothing is done toward cleaning up the pollution, “none of the state officials (at a recent joint meeting in Richmond) would say what would happen,’’ Dennis noted. They did, however, state what they had authority to do—that they could close down businesses. The State Water Control Board is the same organization that was willing to let a small tannery open on the Thornton River with tests every six months to deter Letter To The Editor Pro-Robb To the editor: We in Virginia have long been proud of our fine tradition of fiscal responsibility. This philosophy that has apparently become prevalent in Washington recently has been predominant in Virginia for many years. One candidate for Governor, Marshall Coleman, before he had any idea what the next four years hold gave his solemn pledge not to raise any taxes. Then before too long, he said he would put tolls on our highways and increase certain special taxes. I submit that his actions are irresponsible and I believe he has shown he will raise our taxes. Chuck Robb has given his commitment to working with the General Assembly to avoid tax increases. Indeed, the General Assembly has been much less agreeable to tax increases than recent Governors have been. Mr. Robb goes further than simple promises—he proposes a plan that will help to prevent tax increases. First, he says the number of state employees when he takes office will be the greatest number of state employees during his administration. This means the number of state employees will not be increased during his term of office. Secondly, he supports a constitutional amendment to limit state spending. Chuck Robb is my candidate for Virginia’s next Governor because I believe through his responsible leadership in the fine Virginia tradition of fiscal responsibility, we can avoid tax increases. CARSON B. JOHNSON Sperryville mine if water quality standards are being met, Frye said. What happens to the Thornton River in Sperryville “should be up to the local people and they’re not interested! No one’s here!” he noted. Still Too Expensive The state may force the village to construct a sewage treatment plant, Frye continued, “but I still can’t see how a treatment plant will work for any amount of time...without monthly bills increasing year after year. Is the state going to require something that the people can’t afford?” Tests run by the health department six years ago on 26 wells in the community found 20 contaminated by sewage, WSA member Donald Gore noted. “And just this past summer, a child in Sperryville got sick from a contaminated well,” he reported. “You can find the same situation in New York, in Chicago, in Richmond...If we had an epidemic, it would be a different matter but do we have an epidemic?” Frye asked. Contamination of 20 out of 26 wells gives the village “a potential epidemic,” Johnson answered. Frye maintained that the j, same fecal choloform con- „ tamination would show up : throughout the county if - wells were tested. Addressing Frye’s contention that any sewage treatment plant will prove to be too expensive for the town, Dennis noted that the engineers have proposed a small, limited capacity package plant as a means of keeping costs down. "Now we can only talk in generalities and theory until we get their final report,” he concluded. Sperryville landowner Edward Woodward asked earlier in the meeting if the WSA members could ' give him any assurance that odors from the system wouldn’t be detectable at his house approximately 200 yards away from the authority’s proposed site. "Modern sewage treatment systems can operate odor free,” Dennis replied but noted that he couldn't give Woodward a 100 percent answer. As with specifics on cost, questions on odor will have to wait for a final answer until the WSA gets into details of the plant it proposes to buy, he added. “We’re a long way from making any decision. Once the engineers have completed their restudy, we’ll hold a public hearing (in Sperryville). That will be the time to get into these questions in depth.” Pump and Haul As part of the earlier, rejected treatment plant project, bathrooms were installed with grant funds in several Sperryville homes that lacked indoor plumbing. The WSA members had requested health department officials to attend Monday’s meeting to discuss the possibilities of permitting “pump and haul” sewage handling as a temporary measure so that the new bathrooms could be used. If local people are willing to install their own septic holding tanks and bear the expense of pumping and hauling, the WSA members wanted to know, could it be done? Only local sanitarian Jack Lockhart was there Monday night to give an answer. “I think economics would knock it out,” he maintained. According to Lockhart, it costs between $60 and $70 to have an 800 gallon septic tank pumped out. For a family of four creating approximately 100 gallons per day per person of waste water, that would mean pumping every other day. “So it would cost in the neighborhood of $30 per day for pump and haul,” Lockhart reported. “That would stop me right there!” Johnson remarked. Using standard pre-cast concrete septic tanks that come in two parts could also create problems with ground water seeping into the tank when water levels in the floodplain are high, according to the sanitarian. Woodward added that he’d checked with the TeePee restaurant w?st of SperryvUie., about six .wee’X's ago,J«$p learned that it cost between $90 and $100 each time they pumped and hauled. Returning to the issue of funding, Woodward noted that the federal government spends vast sums to subsidize sewage treatment systems in metropolitan areas and questioned why the same level of funding wasn’t available to make Sperryville’s sewage treatment system affordable to the people of the community. 90 Percent Funding Lost Johnson answered that if the project had been ready to go, it could have proceeded with 90 percent federal funding before grants from Housing and Urban Development and Envrionmental Protection Agency were cancelled or deferred and before rates on Farmers Home Administration loans skyrocketed. "There’s no way we’re going to see that (level of funding) again,” he noted, adding that cuts in federal money for sewer construction could leave Sperryville with SO percent funding. For the package sewage treatment plant, the WSA is talking about monthly user fees of $18 to $20, Woodward recalled. “There’s no way people living on minimum social security payments can afford that!” He showed the WSA members a three months sewer bill from the Hampton-Roads metropolitan area that totalled just $6.40. “There should be the same sufficient federal funding for the Sperryville project," he maintained. Changing subjects, Woodward asked the WSA for assistance in getting a percolation test done on property he owns near the village to determine if the soil will support a septic field. Woodward said he’s been trying to get the perc test done for a year and a half, with no success in getting anyone from the health department or soil and water conservation service to come out to his property. Zoning adminstrator Evan McNear checked the site, he reported, and on the basis of his examination, determined the lot lay outside the floodplain and would support a septic system. According to Woodward, McNear said he wrote a letter containing that information to the local sanitarian, Jack Lockhart. The Sperryville land owner said he waited three weeks and when he’d heard nothing from Lockhart, contacted the sanitarian and was told he’d never received the letter. McNear assured him the letter had been sent but agreed to write a second. “1 don’t know why we’re getting the run-a-round,” Woodward complained. “All it takes is one visit to make a perc test and determine if the property is in a flood plain...If it’s not Mt. Lockhart’s job, it’s somebody’s job,” he said. “I’m not sure this comes under your jurisdiction,” Woodward noted, addingr that he’d read in the Rappahannock News that Lockhart was to attend Monday’s meeting and so decided to approach the WSA on the matter. “This doesn’t come under our jurisdiction,” Johnson replied, maintaining that determining whether the property is in flood plain and conducting a percolation tests are matters for the zoning office and health department. Lockhart interjected that the second letter from McNear did not include what he had told Woodward must be specified: “Is it or is it not in the flood plain?...That’s the letter I’m still waiting for. It’s that simple.” Reading from McNear’s letter, Frye pointed out that it specified the proposed septic system was in compliance with Rappahannock's zoning ordinance in regard to flood plain restrictions. (The ordinance prohibits septic fields in a flood plain or within 50 feet of its boundary.) “To move this thing on, bring the letters to my office this Wednesday and we’ll work it out,” Lockhart volunteered. No Well Laws The WSA members asked Lockhart for suggestions on what could be done to reduce pollution and health hazard problems in Sperryville in the interim until a sewage treatment system is installed. The sanitarian replied that he had no answers. “To what extent does the health department get information on the quality of ground water in the county?” asked Dennis, inquiring whether testing is done and (Continued on Page 14) The Little Fox

Pipes in Place To New Town Well By THERESA REYNOLDS Rippalunmirk Nwm Staff Writrr At the Washington Town Council meeting, Oct. 14, Mayor Newbill Miller informed the Council that the pipe hooking the new town well up to the Washington water supply was in place and that the pump had been replaced with a new one. “All that remains,” he said, “is to flush the lines, run chlorine in and let it stay for a while and then clean the lines out again.” The mayor said that more than 3800 feet of pipe had been laid to accomplish the hook-up and that 400 feet of this was drilled through rock. Both the mayor and council treasurer Brad Fisher expressed their satisfaction with the work so far. Fisher said that the total bills for the new well, although perfectly appropriate for the work done, put the town in a tight spot financially. "We do have some resources,” Fisher said. He was referring to a SI5,000 certificate of deposit that the town could withdraw to pay its bills. “But this would leave us with no reserves,” Fisher said. “I think we should have some money in case of an emergency.” He suggested that the town could negotiate a loan to pay the bills and keep the savings intact. Miller told Fisher that he was sure that the town could borrow money if an emergency arose. “We could do this as quickly as we needed to, I’m sure,” he said. “I don’t think we should borrow money until we need it.” The rest of the council agreed that the savings could be used to pay bills if necessary and that the town could borrow money if an emergency arose. Maty Scott Guest, wife of Virginia delegate "Andy” Guest, appeared before the council to introduce herself and to offer Guest’s support should the town need it in the future. Because of redistricting, Guest is running for the delegate seat that now includes Rappahannock County. Taylor Updike suggested that the town offer the swing set from behind the nowvacated post office building to the Recreation Center if they would agree to move it. Dorothy Hawkins seconded the motion and it passed. Updike spoke to the council on behalf of Clabert Smoot, a town resident who has complained about the noise level of the dances held at the Community Center just outside of town. Smoot was not present at the meeting. “He can hear this music at 1 a.m. on Saturday nights...it really is a nuisance,’’ Updike said. “Well, 1 live just as close as Smoot to the building and I think the music is delightful,” Dorothy Hawkins said. “Dorothy, I like music, too, but that’s not the point,” Miller said. “Clabert called me one night at one o’clock to come and stand in his yard and, believe me, I wouldn’t want that much noice across from me late at night. “You’d probably just go in your house and shut the windows and you wouldn’t hear it,” Hawkins said. "Maybe that’s all he needs to do. I sympathize with the man but I don’t see how we can get into this kind of control. The community center isn’t even in the town limits.’’ “I think we should make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors that they put a limit on this thing,” Updike said. "If it affects town residents then it is our business.” Updike told the council that he had heard that the dances might be held at the old school building if there were complaints at the present site. "Then this dance hall would be right here in town,” he said. “It really could turn into a nuisance.” “I just don’t think it’s that bad,” Hawkins said. “I just think we need to do something to help this man,” Updike said. “He’s gone everywhere and no one has helped him. "He just keeps getting the run-a-round.” Updike did not say if Smoot had talked to those who run the dance or why he did not appear on his own behalf. "I feel very strongly that the primary interests of this town are residential.” Miller said. “You have to decide whether you want to make the recommendation to the Board of Supervisors or not.” “I move that we recommend to the supervisors that the dance close down at 12 and that the noise be kept to a reasonable level,” Updike said.

Catron Aims Campaign At Workers (Continued from Page 1) “Then, after all that’s done and we're still short (of money), I would consider a one cent increase in the gasoline tax,” he said. Catron is opposed under any circumstances to using general fund revenue to finance highway projects, either construction of maintenance. “I do not think we should take food tax money and build roads with it. I strongly believe in staying with the user pay system that was begun by Harry Byrd years ago.” Neither does Catron support using general fund revenue to replace federal money for welfare programs cut by the Reagan administration. He acknowledged that the new block grant approach to providing funds for social services “is difficult to nail down.” But rather than increasing the state’s share of costs to compensate for declining federal participation in the event that hardships occur, he proposes instead to return authority for setting welfare eligibility requirements to the localities. "Local welfare boards can weed out welfare cheaters. With reduced funds. I’d leave the determination of eligibility at the local level. They can determine who needs help the most much better than someone sitting in Washington or Richmond." Sales Tax On Food “Until all the federal budget cuts come through, I couldn't support dropping the sales tax on food,” Catron said. “Hopefully, in the future, it could be gradually removed.” A portion of the revenue loss could be replaced with a tax on “luxury services,” according to the Democratic candidate. As examples, he specified country club membership and beauty parlor permanents. “They’re not needed wheras food is,” Catron said, adding that he also supported upping the tax on alcohol, tobacco and’ cigarettes as- a ‘ further measure to replace food tax revenue. ERA “Basically. I’m opposed to passage of the Equal Rights Amendment,” Catron stated. “It will lead to another round of court battles . . . However, I’ll work to eliminate any discrimination in hiring, pay and promotion.” The Page County supervisor said he would support legislation to provide public funding of abortions in the case of rape, incest or gross fetal deformity. “It’s much easier on the taxpayers to pay for that than to support an individual who can’t function in society or to provide mental treatment for rape victims who must rear a child they do not want," he explained. Catron voiced opposition to designation of a state holiday in honor of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King. "I couldn’t support it due to the expense and to setting a precedent. There’s large cost associated with adding another holiday and if we did it in this case, other special interest groups would demand the same treatment." Catron said he might possibly support designation of an already existing holiday as Martin Luther King Day but added that it would depend on the holiday proposed for the shared arrangement. Education As a vocational agriculture teacher for 17 years in the Page County school system, Catron has had first hand experience with the impact of state mandated Standards of Quality. “Unless they’re state funded, I wouldn’t support keeping them. Some of the SOQ requirements definitely need to be rewritten,” he maintained. Particularly in small rural school systems, expensive regulations don’t always bring about a higher quality of education, he said. "What’s happening is that the average child is being shortchanged,” he claimed. To cut down on the costs of education mandates, he proposes allowing sm&ll school systems to consolidate special education programs rather than requiring separate classes for just a few children classified as emotionally disturbed, mentally retarded or learning disabled. Catron also suggested easing Title 9 requirements which call for equal athletic programs for males and females. "We should give localities an opportunity to be responsible, to act responsibly in filling school needs . . . We could try it for a while. If it doesn’t work, we may have to go back to the mandates, again,” he said. The Page County supervisor advocates keeping Virginia's “Dillon Rule” which retains for the state those powers not specifically delegated to local government. "But I think we should give localities more power, especially in land use ... In the future, we need to look closely at allowing purchase of development rights as a tool for preserving agricultural land . . . Zoning has helped but it hasn't been too successful in most places,’'he*Mnd:-> ’ Allowing purchase of development rights would be “a way of giving young people a method of obtaining financing to start a farming operation,” Catron maintained. He opposes any attempts to ban or regulate uranium mining at the state level, an issue that has surfaced in the r r delegate’s race in Fauquier and Culpeper counties. “It’s a local question, a zoning question, a land use question and it should be decided by the local people,” Catron said. He acknowledged, however, that there "may be loopholes in laws which need plugging or tightening” to enable a local government’s decision on uranium mining or any other land use issue to withstand a challenge in courts of law. Catron stressed that his position on uranium mining doesn't mean he isn’t interested in protecting the environment. "I’m a supporter of a clean environment. I’m a supporter of planning districts which I understand Mr. Guest isn’t,” the Democratic candidate said. Catron believes that the answer to many of the budgetary problems facing Virginia localities lies in attracting new industries. “I will work with those localities, boards of supervisors, industrial commissions and town councils that want industrial development. I will be their direct link to the State Industrial Comihission and I will assist them in locating industrial prospects,” he pledged. “Page County wants industry because it wants to broaden its tax base. It wants to help pay for the education of the children of those 2,500 people who commute out of the county every day . . . Localities need help in selling themselves to industrial prospects. I plan on giving them that help,” Catron concluded. By BIRGITT THORNHILL F.xtrntiian Ajrrnt The following programs will be offered by the Extension Service in November through the winter months. If you are interested, please call the Extension Office at 675-3619 to sign up. There will be no charge for these classes, but they will be held only if there is enough interest. We will begin a refinishing class within the next month. Raymond Johnson of Woodville will be teaching this class. You will need to bring a piece of furniture with you to refinish. This piece must go home with you at the end of each class, so do not choose too large a piece. This is the same class that was going to be held last spring, but there was not enough interest. The class will be held in the evenings; the place has not yet been decided.

Piedmont Environmental Council Urges Statewide Moratorium On. Uranium Mining And Milling After nearly a year’s work researching the potential environmental and health impacts of uranium development, the Board of Directors of the Piedmont Environmental Council voted last week to seek passage of a statewide moratorium on further exploration and any mining and milling of uranium in Virginia. The resolution, adopted unanimously by the board, calls for a moratorium until it can be determined whether radioactive materials can be extracted safely and without adverse effects on the land and water resources and the population in Virginia, or whether the exploration, mining and milling of uranium should be prohibited in Virginia. Action by the Warrentonbased regional, non-profit organization came at the end of a full-day board meeting in Leesburg, at which representatives of the Marline Uranium Corporation addressed the board and answered questions regarding company operations and the status of environmental regulations. In light of growing concern with the issue, the council had scheduled the special meeting for Sept. 12 to focus specifically on uranium development and to review the information collected by its Uranium Mining Study Committee during the past year. Marline was invited to make a presentation and was represented at the meeting by Norman W. Reynolds, vice president, Edward E. Lane, President of Edward E. Lane Associates, Inc., Dr. Leonard D. Hamilton of Brookhaven National Laboratories in New York, and Stephen Potts of the law firm of Shaw, Pittman, Potts and Trowbridge.

While there appeared tc be some agreement between PEC and Marline representatives regarding the ambiguities in state laws, PEC board members maintained their concerns about the adequacy of current regulatory and enforcement mechanisms. Specific concern was voiced regarding the failure of regulatory agencies to meet deadlines of the 1978 Federal law on mill tailings and the need for litigation by national environmental groups to hasten previously authorized action on control of radioactive emissions. Other discussion focused on the breadth of existing authority and the reliability of enforcement in Virginia. In adopting their resolution in support of a statewide moratorium, the board noted that their original concerns about the health and environmental effects of uranium development in a relatively densely populated and agriculturally based region had been strongly confirmed by technical studies and expert testimony. The status of the uranium market was discussed at some length, and the board concluded that the present and projected oversupply of uranium oxide means that there is no need to rush into uranium mining in Virginia in order to assure continued operation of nuclear power plants in the United States.

Town Council (Continued from Page S) “I’ve never heard of a dance closing down at 12,” C. E. Giles said. “Why, you're just getting started good then.” Giles suggested that the dancers be asked to contain their noise on the premises somehow, after midnight. Brad Fisher said that the council needed to be careful in their recommendation because the same rule could apply to midnight church services or other local activities. Miller called for a second to Updike’s motion but there was none. The major suggested that Updike think about the wording of the motion for discussion at the next meeting. Dorothy Clater reminded that the Historical Society had asked the council for $400 as a donation. “Right now. I’m afraid we need the money more,” Giles said. Council members agreed that paying for the water hook-up had first priority. "Under the circumstances. I’m afraid we must decline with regret,” Miller said. "I’m sure they’ll understand.” All the council members were present at Wednesday’s meeting. They adjourned after a motion by Giles. W. T.

Guest Has 10 Years Experience As General Assembly Delegate (Continued from Page 1) maintained, suggesting, for instance, that right-of-ways be reduced from SO to 40 feet and paved surfaces narrowed for infrequently traveled roads. The Republican incumbent said he also supports recommendations of a soon to be released Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission study which calls for a two cent increase in gas tax for three-axle trucks. Raising the costs of license plates to $20 for intermediate sized cars and $25 for foilsized cars is also “something to look into,” Guest said. He acknowledged, however, that with approximately two million cars in Virginia, a hike in license plate fees will fall far short of generating sufficient revenue for interstate construction (two miles for $2 million) or to rebuild secondary roads (one mile for $150,000).

Goooral Contractors P. 0. Box 68 Boiloton, Vo. 22712 JLARC study, gas taxes would have to jump by Msome cents per gallon in order to meet the highway department’s needs. Guest said. As for using general fund revenue for highway projects, Guest said he couldn’t consider such action until a decision is first reached on who should pay Virginia’s state police—the general fund or the highway fund. Welfare It’s unsure yet what the final reduction in welfare funding will be under the new block grant approach to channeling federal dollars to state governments. The Reagan administration has promised a safety net to protect the needy poor but if that net has holes in it, the candidate was asked, should the state pick up the funding share for social service programs previously financed by Washington? “I reckon it’s going to have to,” Guest replied. “I’m not well versed on the shortcomings of the new block grants program and I would sure have to take a good look at them (before voting to commit additional state funds.)” He predicted that the switch to block grants will cut down on the cost of welfare administration by having money go directly from Richmond to the localities instead of first through a regional office. Social service professionals in the field see regional offices as a “buffer and a slower down, not a problem solver,” Guest said. Funding through block grants ‘‘is going to put people on the line who’ve been saying for years that they could run welfare programs much cheaper if their hands weren’t tied by federal regulations,” he predicted. Sales Tax On Food Eliminating the sales tax on food is a proposal that has attracted the attention of voters across the state but Guest sees little chance of it coming about in the next session of the General Assembly. - “Probably everyone in the General Assembly would like to take it off,” he noted. “But first, we must either identify the programs that must be cut out if we lose that revenue or how we’re going to make up the difference. In my ten years in the General Assembly, no bill has been introduced that comes up with the specifics for either alternative.” It’s been suggested that taxes be increased on alcohol and cigarettes to replace the revenue lost through elimination of the sales tax on food.

ERA And Abortion Does he support passage of the Equal Rights Amendment? “I will vote for it,” Guest stated. Where does he stand on a measure to pipvide public funding through Medicaid for abortions in the case of incest, rape or gross fetal deformity, a bill passed last year by the General Assembly but vetoed by the Governor? "I voted for it last year,” he responded. “It’s not a question of abortion or no abortion but rather should a person unable to afford a needed medical service available to those with money be denied that service?” Virginia law on abortions meets guidelines set by the U. S. Supreme Court, Guest noted. “To deny services (for abortions in the case of rape, incest or gross fetal deformity) to women on Medicaid is economic prejudice and deprivation,” he maintained. Guest is not supportive of another bill vetoed last session by Dalton which would have created a new holiday in honor of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King. “I voted to put it on New Year’s Day since that’s an existing holiday but 1 voted against creating a new holiday...I think there are many native Virginians —from Jefferson and Monroe to George Washington Carver and Booker T. Washington—who don’t have a day set aside in their honor and should come first.” Education Even with a decline in federal support for education. Guest supports continuance of Virginia’s Standards of Quality at their present level “with perhaps the halting of the downward change in average classroom size.” The Republican incumbent maintained that the General Assembly had erred in? adopting the- Standard ofi Quality (SOQ) that requires a steady decrease in average classroom size. “We didn’t realize the construction program we were forcing on localities...I’ts a good goal but we made a mistake in mandating it.” Reviewing reasons behind SOQ mandates, Guest pointed to two court rulings—one from New Jersey and the second from Texas—which held that students from some areas of the states had been denied equal opportunity and protection because they’d received an inferior education in a below average school system. in ivapvuav uit 1 uuuga, Virginia's Constitution was amended to provide all students with an equal opportunity for a quality education "and the General Assembly was to interpret what that meant. That’s where the Standards of Quality came from. They were recommended by the state board of education and then modified and adopted by the General Assembly,” Guest noted. “They probably need to stay the same for a couple of years so we can have an opportunity to digest the effects of the mandated programs,” he added. ”I’d like to see more aid to education,” Guest replied in answer to a question on whether Richmond should provide the money to fund SOQ mandates. "But the problem comes from competing programs...Education should be viewed as an investment rather than an expense but we still have to pay for it!” Education gets about 50 percent of the state’s general fund revenue. Guest noted, while school costs take about 70 percent of local budgets. “Some counties with the means and desire to do so go a whole lot further than AmeriGas-t SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal Va 635-3556 L P Gas distributor serving a lour county area Propane gas lor lull house use heating water heating and cooking Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters i -ii If,. others (in supporting education with local tax revenue)," he added. Sflunri! Board Selection Selection of school board members has been an issue in Rappahannock County as well as other Virginia jurisdictions. Currently, state law allows for selection by board of supervisors or by board of electoral trustees, members of which are appointed by the circuit court judge. Guest said he has “no particular problem” in supporting a bill which would provide for direct election of school boards. “But I haven’t found a whole lot of demand for it,” he added. The Warren County farmer described school board appointment by board of supervisors as “a pretty good method,” noting that a supervisor who supports quality education probably will appoint a school board member who shares that view. Allowing direct election of school board members creates a potential conflict if a locality has supervisor candidates running in support of an austerity program and school board candidates running in support of top priority for education,, according to Guest. If the fiscally conservative supervisors fail to appropriate the necessary funds for a proposed school budget, “the supervisors are placed in the bad guy role,” he said. “Another consideration is that many people who might accept appointment wouldn’t run if they had to campaign for election to the school board, if they had to fight for the honor of performing a civic duty,*’ Guest noted, adding that "most school board members are way underpaid x considering the time, effort and energy they put into the job.*’ DIDoa Rule And Land Um Guest has no strong opinions on whether Virginia’s so-called DiUon Rule (which retains for the state all powers not specifically granted to local government) should be repealed. “That’s not one of the things on which I’ve had a whole lot of pressure from local governing bodies to give attention to.” He maintained, however, that more could be done at the state level to give localities flexibility in controlling and directing land use. Three years ago, Guest was the leader in a losing effort to allow pari-mutuel betting in Virginia. “I don’t know if I’ll bring that up again...I’m not sure there’s any more support there for it now than there was before.” Uranium Mining Uranium mining has developed into THE major issue in the delegate’s race in neighboring Fauquier and Culpeper counties where Democrat Judy Faller has called for a statewide ban on uranium mining and Republican incumbent George Beard proposes regulatory controls. Guest noted that he voted for the studies on uranium mining proposed in a resolution introduced by Beard in last year’s General Assembly. "But I haven’t seen much concern among my constituents. I doubt if I’ve gotten three letters on the subject either for, against or in between,” he reported. In the contest for 18th district representative, Democratic challenger Richard Catron has charged that Guest doesn’t represent farmers or other middle class constituents. "Mr. Catron appears to want to start a campaign of class warfare,” Guest maintained in response. “The hundreds of people who’ve received my help when an unemployment check has been late in arriving, the people who’ve had problems with the highway department or the welfare department, the folks who’ve had their license revoked because of a mistake made by a paper shuffler in the Division of Motor Vehicles—I don’t think they’d agree with Mr. Catron.” The Democratic candidate for the 18th district seat has been critical also of what he alleges has been lack of effort on Guest’s part in working for industrial development in the area. ”A delegate does not sit back and say ‘Industry—pick up and go over there’,” Guest maintained. “I will respond to and work with a locality that wants to attract and develop industry but the initiative should rest with the locality.” In the current campaign, Guest said, he’s found concern and desire for industry in Page County. He noted, however, that he’d heard only from town officials and “not word one” from the board of supervisors of which Catron is a member. To attract industry, Guest said, a locality should have a site with road access, rail access, an ample supply of water and sewer connections. There must be people willing to work and the site should be reasonably close to an interstate, he added. “A delegate can help a locality to become competitive (in attracting industry) but the main point is that it’s not up to a delegate to dictate to a locality or to an industry,” he concluded.

Rappahannock Farmer’s Co-op N Sperryvillt, Va. 987-8555 (Paid Political Advertisement) A guide for Virginians who still may not know the candidate they're planning to vote for: MARSHALL COLEMAN THE RHETORIC &. THE RECORD CoUective Bargaining for Public Employees cjuoernatoriai candidate iviarsnau t^oieman says ne adamantly opposes collective bargaining for public employees. in tne uenerai Assemoiy, Mr. Coleman voted tor legislation that would have given public employees a modified form of collective bargaining: House Bill 1891 in 1973; and House Bill 591 in 1974. Bill 591, which he sponsored, contained no anti-strike provisions. Tax Increases In May 1961, candidate Coleman pledged to veto any tax increase if elected governor. In February 1980, Mr. Coleman supported the proposed 4% tax on the wholesale price of gasoline, declaring that the Highway Fund would still have sufficient revenues to finance only 80% of needed projects. In August 1981, he proposed funding new highways via revenue bonds and tolls and by diverting General Fund money to the Highway Fund. He also hinted at a tax increase for the trucking industry. Legislative Experience Mr. Coleman says his experience in the General Assembly is one of his major qualifications to be governor. Actually, he served one and a half terms in the House and a half term in the Senate before resigning to become Attorney Genf*ral. Quality of service counts far more than time in office. Mr. Coleman introduced 71 bills and resolutions, but only 29 were passed. Of the 137 measures he co-sponsored, only 61 passed. He offered three different versions of his ‘uniform sentencing' lemslarion. Nnr nnp np«/*r) The Reagan ‘Referendum* This year, Mr. Coleman is anxiously calling Virginia’s gubernatorial election a ‘Referendum on President Reagan.’ In 1976, Mr. Coleman worked actively to block the Reagan nomination. In 1977, he called Mr. Reagan’s visit on behalf of the Coleman opponent for attorney general an ‘intrusion.’ And only last year, he refused to endorse Mr. Reagan until it was obvious he would be the presidential nominee. Conflict of Interest In 1975, Mr. Coleman introduced House Bill 1284, requiring lobbyists to ‘report all retainers, wages and salaries received in connection with lobbying.’ In 1980, The Roanoke Times reported that Attorney General Coleman ‘supports the creation of a special ethics commission ti investigate possible unethical conduct by members of the General Assembly.’ This year, it was discovered that Mr. Coleman’s running mate, Nathan Miller, drafted and voted for legislation benefiting certain electric utilities while on retainer as general counsel for those companies. Mr. Coleman’s response: 'I’m satisfied with Nathan’s conduct.’ This fall, Mr. Coleman had to return a campaign contribution to a member of his finance committee. As attorney general, he had been asked to investigate the man’s vote on a controversial highway as a member of the State Highway Commission.

Park Grant Wins Official Okay The Commission on Outdoor Recreations in Richmond Tuesday officially approved a $63,837 matching grant that will give Rappahannock its first county park. The money will be used to build two tennis courts, a basketball court and riverside picnic area at the recreation center on Route 211 across the highway from the town of Washington. The local share of the matching grant is being provided through donation of the six-are site to the county. The Rappahannock Recreation Authority made the grant application with authority member Douglas Baumgardner presenting the proposal to the COR board on September 22. According to Rec Authority member Diane Bruce, the authority is now in the market for an engineer or architect. Anyone interested in the project should contact her at the clerk’s office, telephone 675-3621. “ We’d like to give credit to John Capelle from the. Rappahannock-Rapid an Planning District Commission for his help," Bruce said, noting that the planning district’s executive director had prepared the plans for the project and assisted in drawing up the grant application. “He will continue to help until the project is finished,’’ she said, adding that completion date is expected to be early summer of 1982. Benefit Disco A benefit disco is scheduled for Saturday, October 31, beginning at 9 p.m. at the Washington Community Center.

The gypsy moth, spotted in several Virginia counties, is probably here to stay. Being close to areas infested with the moth (such as Pennsylvania) and with topography and climate similar to those areas, Virginia forests provide an acceptable resource for gypsy moth proliferation, says William Ravlin, Virginia Tech professor of entomology. Gypsies move into an area in one of two ways: the males, the only ones that fly, can be picked up by a storm system and moved into an area, or the female can lay her egg mass on something like a car which can be moved into the area. In fact, a siting in Virginia occurred when a family moved to Lunenburg from New Jersey and brought in the egg mass on a dog house. The moths are not exceptionally large, but they have an insatiable appetite for leaves, especially those on oak trees. In 1980 the creatures devoured some five million acres of forest land in Pennsylvania alone. While the gypsies prefer oak leaves, they will eat, with less pleasure, some 200 species of trees, including pines. Defoliation alone is not enough to destroy the tree, Ravlin says. About 50 percent of the tree has to be defoliated before it becomes apparent, and before the tree is harmed. Recurring defoliation, however, weakens the tree and makes it more susceptible to pests such as the chestnut borer and diseases such as the fungus armillaria. “When all three of these pests affect the tree, then its survival is at stake.” Virginia should not have as drastic a problem as Pennsylvania and- some other states, according to Ravlin. In the future, he adds, “We could have the same problem as Pennsylvania,” but “right Gigantic Tool Auction Jenkins Auction House Washington, Va. Saturday, October 24th, 7 P.M.

Without such planning, Virginia could face a major problem of infestation. Ravlin currently is working with agricultural officials in the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to develop control strategies and alternatives for the state. Once it is determined that gypsy moths are in an area, a monitoring system must be developed to determine the population density. In the past, monitoring systems have included field searches for egg masses followed by the placement of pheromone traps. Pheromone traps lure the male moth by use of a sexual attractant (pheromone). Males alone do not create an infestation, so it is necessary, through the field searches, to determine if there are egg masses, which indicate a reproducing population. Together, the two systems are effective, but Ravlin says there is a large margin for error in the field searches. “The egg masses are very difficult to find. They are hidden under rocks, under leaves, and behind pieces of bark. They are just simply difficult to see.” A better way, he suggests, would be to use dogs, especially German Shepherds, for the searches. “They are so sensitive to smells. The search would be more efficient and we could make better predictions about the number of egg masses in the area.” Miscalculation of egg masses could be a major problem since one mass contains 300 to 1,000 larvae per female. “The reproductive potential is great,” Ravlin says, “so you can’t be too careful when searching for eggs.” Controlling the gypsy moth involves more than monitoring the mother population. “There are" parasites and predators which naturally keep the population down.” Ravlin says. “You don’t want to' disturb this balance too much because if you drastically reduce the gypsy population then the predators look for something else to feed on and then it is possible that the predator population will decrease. When this happens, the moth population has a chance to rebuild and you are faced with another population explosion.” Another factor in controlling the moth is determining what life stage of the moth is most susceptible to chemical and biological controls. “There is only one generation of the moth per year and the life cycle from AUCTION Saturday Oct. 24 7 p.m. 6 miles south Culpopor on Rt. 29 Lot* of Aotufooe \IjOt* of Good Morehoodue JOHN’S AUCTION HOUSE 547-2821 Auctioneer Qen.

"The critical time is from late June to early July, that is when the moth (in larvae stage) will begin eating the leaves on the trees. It is this time—we are talking about a two to three-week period—when we have to act with the controls such as spraying. But if you have a rainy or cloudy day then you can't do your aerial sprays. You are at the mercy of the weather. That is why it is necessary to monitor the population before it comes to such a crucial point and you are, in effect, left with no choice or alternative.” “We are trying to develop predictive models so we can determine more accurately the stage of development and the population." There are models in existence, he'says, but they are not functional and have not been successful. The phenology model tells »»«.%WM00a08MM000« when the population is in a particular life stage, such as egg stage or the hatch stage. The population or dynamics model tells the numbers of individuals in a population. “We are now trying to develop population models so we will not have to rely totally on constant monitoring.” “We must also take a regional approach to the problem,” Ravlin adds. “If there is a storm system moving this way through an area of high infestation, then we have to be prepared for the possibility that the moth will enter the area. Also, if there are areas of infestation close to the state, we should know that. Unfortunately, the gypsy moth does not recognize state or county boundaries.” Fortunately for Virginia, other states have had similar problems and “we can learn from their mistakes," Ravlin says.

JENKINS, AUCTIONEER wm discovered in Michigan and was determined to be an isolated infestation. Sprays of DDT and carbaryl were applied throughout the township and by 1962 the insect was deemed eradicated. For the next 10 years, it appeared that the eradication and quarantine programs were successful since no positive pheromone trap catches have been found within the state. But, in 1972, positive trap catches were found in three counties and in 1973. 22 counties successfully trapped male moths. The reemergence of the gypsy moth was then a problem on a much wider scale, Ravlin says. One of 'the safest assumptions to make, Ravlin says, is that the moth will be with us. "With such a mobile society, we will always have people moving in and out of infested areas, carrying moths from one area to another. Consequently, it will be difficult to control the spread of the moth.” Beautiful 55 Acre Shenandoah Valley Farm 8 Acre River Fronted Property $100,000 Inventory of Farm Machinery SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7,1981 10:00 A.M.

Higher pay “will attract people but it doesn’t necessarily keep them... We need to offer other incentives than pay,” Reeve maintained, suggesting that the school board members and administration show more appreciation towards teachers. She stressed that she wasn’t necessarily opposed to Eastham’s resolution but wanted to make sure that the effectiveness and fairness of any evaluation system was examined very thoroughly before proceeding further with consideration of merit pay. “That’s where we’re going to end up in a jungle,” Reeve predicted, questioning whether an objective evaluation system could be devised at all. Estabrook agreed that arriving at a fair evaluation system will be the prime difficulty with merit pay. “We are dealing with human beings and they do relate to things other than dollars,” he added, in support of Reeve’s connection. “Everybody fears the unknown and I guess merit pay is an unknown,” remarked board member Newbill Miller. He agreed with chairman Beverly Massie’s suggestion that action on Eastham’s resolution be tabled until the November board meeting. “Mr. Eastham’s given this a great deal of thought and I’d like to do the same...In concept, I like- the idea,” Miller said. Responding to comments from his fellow board members, Eastham withdrew his merit pay resolution for consideration at the November meeting. Conflict Of Interest Cited In Recent Appointment (Continued from Page 1) board member pending receipt of Coleman’s ruling. “With certain exceptions inapplicable to your inquiry, the General Assembly has provided that county officers may not also serve on the school board for their county,” Coleman noted in his letter. This restriction against dual office holding applies only to school board members, Baumgardner emphasized. Under Virginia law, school boards are “supposed to be above politics, an independent entity,” he said. Members of the welfare board are appointed by the local governing body for specific terms established by statute. Their duties are also set forth by statute and the individual appointees must give the usual oath of office. “Accordingly, the appointees hold positions as officers of the county,” Coleman noted in his written opinion. Reeve Has No Conflict According to a verbal opinion from the attorney general’s office on October 20, Baumgardner reported, school board member Nancy Reeve (who currently serves as acting director of the welfare department in addition to her regular job as case worker for Aid to Dependent Children) is not affected by the prohibition against dual office holding. "Nancy Reeve is not a county officer; she doesn’t have to take an oath of office and her term of office is not set by law; she serves at the pleasure of the welfare board,” Baumgardner noted. In his opinion, Coleman states that a planning commission member is an officer of the county and i$ WSA Meeting (Continued from Page 4) whether the sanitarian has any data on possible pollution problems in other Rappahannock communities. “There’s no well ordinance in this county or in the state of Virginia that relates to private homes,” Lockhart replied. Some localities, Culpeper and Fauquier, for example, have enacted their own well regulations but the only state laws on testing the quality of well water apply to commercial establishments, according to Lockhart. In other business earlier in the meeting, Dennis reported that the State Water Control Board will hold a public hearing in Richmond on December 8 at 9 a.m. on the construction grants priority list for fiscal years 1982-1991. The Sperryville sewer, listed as the 5th priority project in the state, has been tentatively allocated SI.4 million for construction in FY 1983. Dennis noted that the time frame is contingent upon federal funding being available for sewer projects in the current fiscal year. If no funds are released in FY 1982, Sperryville’s sewage treatment plant will be pushed back to 1984 for construction funding. Dennis suggested that one or more WSA members attend the December 8 hearing with project engineers and a representative from the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors, if possible. *'We need to protect our turf,” he concluded.

Baumgardner recalled that he’d been asked in the past only if Miller’s being mayor of the town of Washington posed a conflict of interest to his serving on the school board. As regards to that office, there is no conflict, he explained, since the town is a separate jurisdiction from the county. Baumgardner also noted that there was no “taint of illegality’’ to the supervisors’ action in appointing Eastham to the welfare board. State law requires only that he either resign from the school board or elect not to take the welfare appointment. Miller was out of the county this week and Eastham could not be reached on Tuesday for a response to the attorney general’s opinion. The commonwealth’s attorney ( indicated, however, that Eastham told him he would refuse appointment to the welfare board. Baumgardner declined to comment on what Miller's decision will be—whether to resign from the school board or from the planning commission. General District Court Cases Richard E.
