"Andy” Guest, Rappahannock’s representative in the House of Delegates. "The evil of partisan politics has reared it’s ugly head,” he maintained, pointing out that he and Republican Ginton Miller have been switched to the same single member district in the new plan. “That way, they can get rid of one Republican. It’s the same thing with George Beard. He ran well in Fauquier and Culpeper counties and with this proposal, his district will include Loudoun where another Republican just won.” “It’s for the birds!” was the reaction from Delegate Beard, Rappahannock’s representative prior to last year’s redistricting plan, a proposal that was overturned by the federal courts in August. “It’s just so unrealistic. I don’t see how they can consider it feasible.” The plan approved by the subcommittee on November 16 puts Rappahannock in the 17th District with Shenandoah and Warren counties. Currently, the county is joined with Garke, Page and Warren as the 18th District. Beard now represents a district made up of Fauquier and Culpeper. The subcommittee’s proposal moves Fauquier in with Loudoun and Clarke for a two-member district and also switches Culpeper to a two-member district comprised of that county and Page, Madison, Greene, Orange and Spotsylvania. F«w Single Member District* The new plan consists of 46 districts of which only 11 are represented by a single member. “I’m going to oppose it,” pledged Guest. “I like my district exactly the way it is.” He noted that the House Privileges and Elections Committee will meet at 10 a.m. on Wednesday to vote on a recommendation on the redistricting proposal. “I predict that a recommendation for 100 single (Continued on Page 2) — Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson OPENING WIDE for a check-up by Dr. Carl Blanton, first grader Floyd Faulkner was too busy to smile for the camera.

This time around, dental care is being provided through the auspices of the health department and with $8,000 left in the Teachers’ Association Dental Program’s account used initially to secure state matching funds on the 71-29 percent ratio. “This is aimed at youngsters whose families are able to pay something—but not the entire cost—for dental care,'’ Mrs. Quaihtance explained to the school board. “Those on welfare are already taken care of so they won’t be included." Eligibility will be determined using a state scale with parents paying from nothing to two-thirds of the cost based on family income. Fees will go back into the dental fund, Mrs. Quaintance said. According to public health nurse Frances Thornton, 54 boys and girls from the elementary school were seen on Friday, a good start but only a portion of the 175 to 200 students who must be checked before corrective (Continued on Page 2) School Board Upset By Lack Of Data On Unemployment Claims hive former employees of the Rappahannock school board are receiving unemployment compensation and the board members not only do not know under what circumstances the five left school employment, they don’t even know the identity of the individuals. Robert Eastham, Wakefield District representative, attended the November 2 meeting of the supervisors and learned that they have been reimbursing the state for unemployment payments to ex-employees of the school board, taking the money from the county’s general fund. At their November meeting, the supervisors proposed to follow their accountant’s advice and have the school board reimburse the state for unemployment payments awarded to former school workers. The supervisors indicated, however, that they would delay intplemehtation of the change until next year to give the school board the opportunity to include funds for that purpose in the school budget. (According to board of supervisor records, reimbursement for an unemployment claim from an exschool employee was paid for one individual for the quarter ending June 30, 1980. That same person plus a second had another claim paid for the quarter ending Sep* tember 30, 1980. Those same two plus a third were awarded claims for the quarter ending December, 1980. Two of the three received unemployment compensation for the quarter ending March, 1981, and one individual was still receiving compensation for the quarter ending June, 1981. The claims from five individuals that caught the school board’s attention were for the quarter ending September, 1981. ) At the supervisors session, Eastham asked that reimbursement to the state from the general fund be delayed until the school board could investigate the people and circumstances involved in the five claims. He noted that an unemployment compensation claim from a former schop)' board employee was disallowed last year after the board filed an appeal and showed that the individual had been let go for cause. Detail* Lacking At the board’s November 10 meeting, superintendent of schools Robert Eastabrook Confusion Complicates Procedures Of Agriculture, Forestal District ine k a p p a n a n no c k supervisors at last Thursday's meeting named a committee to draw up an agriculture and forestal district flow chart, hoping once and for all to resolve procedural questions and eliminate errors that have plagued the approval process since the first application was submitted. The latest AFD mistakes have brought J. J. Dwyer back to square one six months after his application was first filed. Dwyer applied for an ag district in May. His application—plus “tag-ons” from Phil Irwin and Linda Dietel—went to the planning commission for referral to the agricultural district advisory committee. The advisory committee evaluated the agricultural significance of the properties and sent the AFP application back to the planning commission with a recommendation for approval. Then at the planning commission’s public hearing, Patricia Saltonstall asked that her Points of View Farm on Route 729 be included and problems began. With 450 acres, Saltonstall didn’t have enough land to reach the 500-acre minimum for a separate application. Unsure of what the law specified, the planners proposed that Dwyer, Irwin and Deitel resubmit their request for an ag district to give Saltonstall an opportunity to add her land. After the resubmission, however, the planners failed to advertise that a petition for an ag district had been received, failed to refer the application to the advisory committee, and failed to hold the required public hearing before sending the application on to the supervisors with a recommendation for approval. Could Have Tagged-On Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner told the supervisors on Thursday that he had advised the planning commissioners that they didn’t have to start the approval process all over again in order to allow Saltonstall to tag on. The Agriculture and Forestal Districts Act specifically states that the board of supervisors may include adjacent agriculturally significant lands at the board’s public hearing on an ag district application, according to Baumgardner. (Non-adjacent properties may be tagged on only during the initial 30 day period between the filing of the application and its referral to the advisory committee for evaluation.) Although Saltonstall's land was adjacent to Dwyer’s and therefore could be included (Continued on Page 4) Senior Play This Weekend “Ten Little Indians”, a three act who-done-it written by the grand dame of mysteries, Agatha Christie, will be presented Friday and Saturday nights, November 20 and 21, in the Rappahannock County High School auditorium.

Merit Pay Proposal Rejected By Board A word of caution from assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik on possible legal reprocussions of implementing merit pay left Robert Eastham the sole school board member at last Tuesday’s meeting in favor of » ■ reiotatien catling for consideration of a merit pay system by budget time in 1984. The vote came after a procedural battle in which the Wakefield District representative accused his fellow board members of "trying to muzzle” him and threatened to leave unless he was immediately allowed to present and explain his modified merit pay proposal. A few minutes before Eastham’s outburst, the board had agreed by consensus to discuss informally the general topic of merit pay prior to formal consideration M EtrtiMa’n mriottwi, an item carried over from the October meeting. Reading from a prepared statement, Eastham explained that he'd amended suggestions made last month following extensive discussions with superintendent Robert Estabrook, with county residents whose advice he values and respects, and with teachers. The key to Eastham’s merit pay plan is a "fair and effective” evaluation system for measuring the performance of school employees. His amended resolution presented at the W«wwbw 10 awuliy for the superintendent td give a progress report on implementation in January, 1982, with the final proposal for installing an evaluation program to come before the board for action in June, 1982.

Kramer told the Council that the building would be a shop or a studio on the property between the Norman and the Pullen houses on Main Street in Washington. “It will be a few feet closer to the road than the 26' allowed.” said Kramer, and gave the Council members two sketches of the proposed building. “Actually, the only part of the building not within the setback limit is the steps or the porch.” Kramer pointed out that the little building would be in front of the larger structure that had been moved to the property and that it actually would be in line with its closest neighbor, the Pullen house. Kramer said that the reason for the variance was to provide space between the proposed studio and the house that is already on the property for & back-up septic field. “I do have an adequate drainage field there already,” Kramer said. “But knowing the problems in that area I do want to have a back-up.” Mayor Newbill Miller explained to the Council and neighboring home owner John Norman that the placement of the new building would be consistent with other structures on Main Street. “Really, the only ones we’re ‘varying’ from are you (Norman) and the Krebser property," he said. Norman pointed out that the site of the alreadyestablished main building as well as the proposed studio is ‘swampy’ and that there are drainage problems. Miller pointed out that this problem really had nothing to do with the setback ordinance. Norman replied that he (Continued on Page 10) In New Book On County History Johnsons Recount Fact, Fiction And Foolishness By DAI’HNK HUTCHINSON Ha|>|Mih«iiM4M'k Nc*» Staff 1 rilcr This holiday season, a book on county history by two newcomers to the literary scene is sure to be THE gift exchanged by Rappahannockians. Written by Ned and Elisabeth Johnson, “Rappahannock County, Fact, Fiction, Foolishness and the Fairfax Story” begins with the land grants awarded by Lord Fairfax to early settlers of the Blue Ridge foothills. It includes page after page of historical data unearthed in three years of painstaking research and fact Finding expeditions that took the couple to Richmond, Charlottesville, Spotsylvania, Warren, Page, Rockingham and Madison counties and down countless back roads winding into Rap pahannock’s hollows. But the highlights of the book have to be the tales related by Ned Johnson. A native of Rappahannock whose roots go back generations, Ned has earned local fame as a yarn spinner who knows practically everything about the good old days. He can tell you of the champion fighting cocks that once were the pride of Sperryville, the injustices suffered by mountain people who were pushed off their land by Shenandoah National Park and how much it cost to pass through the gates on the Rappahannock toll roads. Ned is a good listener; he remembers the stories passed down from his f ther and grandfa ier and other old timers now long gone. But much that he relates comes from first-hand knowledge. “I’ve been here half as long as Rappahannock County. “I’ve lived through half of Rappahannock’s history,” he reported, pride in the county and its heritage evident in his voice. Tapes Were Beginning Inspired one evening, Ned recorded a two-hour tape of his recollections of Rappahannock’s history and legends. Friends who heard the tape urged the Johnsons to write a book and that suggestion plus the scarcity of information about the county's past supplied the impetus for their three-year labor of love. “We decided to try tying some of the facts to our corny little stories,” Ned explained. “Fact, Fiction and Foolishness”—the FFF in the book's title — is a gentle poke at the pretentiousness of the state’s FFV (First Families of Virginia) heritage, according to the authors. It's the Final "F” that tickles Ned. The old stories amuse the teller as much as they will delight readers. “There’s right much foolishness in our book,” he admitted, chuckling and shaking his head in mock dismay. But local.people who might be concerned that the Johnsons have opened the closet dQor on family skeletons and stuck a few embarrassing bones in the book have nothing to fear. Ned could only recall one secret he stumbled on in his research — the identity of a Confederate veteran whose illegitimate son fought in World War 1 — and his lips are sealed on that point. ‘‘Our book isn’t really about families. It’s about the people who made this county what it is today,” Elisabeth explained. That’s not to say it doesn’t include a few salty stories. Ned tells about the county blacksmith, an inveterate drinker, whose doctor told him he had to give up alcohol or perish. The smithy begged for just three spoons of booze a day and when the doctor assented, he rushed to his blacksmith shop and made himself a spoon that was about a foot long. Elisabeth bettered that tale with a piece of embarrassing history she dug out of Rappahannock records. It seems that before the advent of indoor plumbing in (Continued on Page 10) Mr. and Mrs. C.

Washington Christmas Decorations Approved “Well, Santa Claus has prevailed,” said Washington Mayor Newbill Miller after the Town Council voted unanimously to purchase garlands for Washington signposts at last week’s meeting. The vote came after expressions of doubt by Miller and other council members as to whether the town could; afford the money usually authorized at Christmas time for holiday decorations. The motion made by Councilwoman Dorothy Hawkins was to “authorize the garden club or some other group to make garlands not to exceed the 1980 charge.” Hawkins recalled I SQUARE ft ) CONTRA DANCE 1 Saturday, { November 21 | 8 p.m. ) } Washington j } Community \ \ Center { ; calling by: T Sid Gottlieb i Music by: j The Stable Band } Admission $2.00 } For more information j call ) __937-4205_ } the cost was ‘around $175.00’. Although all the council members and the mayor wanted to have the decorations, the depleted town budget made some discussion necessary. Town treasurer Brad Fisher was not present at the meeting. His message to Miller concerning the budget was that the town was “holding its own.” But all council members were aware that drilling of two new wells, laying pipe to hook one well to the system, purchase of land for the well site and right-of-ways have greatly lowered the town’s reserves. Updating of the existing water pipe will continue to drain town funds. “I hate to be a Scrooge, Dorothy,” said Miller after the subject of decorations was brought up. “But I honestly don't know where the money will come from.” C. E. Giles suggested that the town look into less expensive decorations, perhaps from a different source. “We ,need to watch every penny,” he said. “I never really noticed the .decorations,” Taylor Updike said. In the end they all supported the motion, causing Miller's comment about Santa Claus. “But I don’t know how we’ll pay for them," he added. “Well, if worst comes to Happatjannock SNeuua Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $7 00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $8 50 Outside the U S per year $7 00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE t )New ( tRenewai ( tCheck Enclosed NAME _1_ ADDRESS____ CITY___ STATE _ ZIP __:_-_ f nteied as second class mail at the Post Office m Warnviton Va The Rappahannock News is published every Thursday at 39 CulDeoer Street Warrenton Va by Tne '.Vaileriion Printing and Publishing Co P O Box 631.

Plan Puts County In 17th District (Continued from Page 1) member districts will come out of that committee,” Guest said, adding that he expected the configuration of Rappahannock Warren, Clarke and Page to remain as it is. The redistricting plan approved by last year’s General Assembly was awritt)«4 • ^n .August » three-judge federal court although elections in November were allowed to proceed under the arrangement with delegates elected to one-year terms. The judges found that the plan violated one man-one vote guidelines set by the Supreme Court since some of the districts created varied significantly from the ideal per delegate population of 53,463. The difference between districts with two few people and districts with too many people reached 26 percent in that first plan. While variances of ten percent would be acceptable. me judges warned mat any greater variance would jeopardize approval. The court also noted that if the House of Delegates doesn't come up with a valid redistricting proposal by February 1, the judges will handle Virginia’s redistricting themselves, probably carving the state into the 100 single member districts that Guest expects from the Privileges and Elections Committee. Mary Spain, attorney for the committee, has reported that the revised plan follows the court’s ten percent ruling very closely, with only four out of 46 districts missing the ideal per delegate population by five percent over or under. At a public hearing by the P&E Committee in Richmond on Monday, sharp opposition was voiced to the subcommittee’s plan for redistricting. Representatives from Virginia’s NAACP and the state’s branch of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference predicted that the proposal will be rejected by the Justice Department under the Voting Rights Act on the grounds that it blatantly ++++ Love is the marrow of friendship. dilutes black voting strength and promised to challenge the revised plan in the courts. Spokespersons for the American Civil Liberties Union also opposed the measure. In addition, delegate; predicted that the new plan will be subject to legal' challenge. They criticized the. together ks>S' jurisdictions that have, nothing in common just to meet ideal population figures. The revisions virtually ignore Virginia’s constitutional mandate for compact and contiguous legislative districts, according to speakers at Monday’s hearing. After the P&E Committee’s recommendation on Wednesday, the redistricting proposal will be debated and voted on at a special session ot the General Assembly on November 23. After signature from the Governor, the plan will be sent next to the U. S. Department of Justice and Anally to the federal courts.

Sharp also had an exhibit of work he’d already completed and he went through the steps of a stained glass creation from start to finsh for the audience at the library. Sharp has been working in stained glass since 1978, when he was able to take a course in the craft from a local man. Since then, he’s completed windows, lamps, mirrors and placques for family and friends. He has also made up designs to order for gifts. Sharp divides his time now between his hobby and classes at the University ot Virginia in Charlottesville. He mentioned during his demonstration that he would be available to teach a class if enough local people were interested. Sharp said that he likes working in stained glass because “...it’s possible to improve each time L make something. I can see a lot of improvement between, not only the first few projects I made and the ones I’m making now, but between what I finish today and the work I’ll do next week.” Sharp said that the reason that he First became interested was the beauty of the finished product. “I just like the way the sun looks when it shines through stained glass.” Photos By Theresa Reynolds ALL THE HARD WORK IS WORTH IT when the light shines through the finished product.

RCALTO* | REALISTIC SELLtKGwM 1 A realistic selling pHce is the most important consideration to the prospective buyer of your home. The worst mistake a seller can make is to unrealistically overprice his home. The finest advertising and sales efforts can't sell a home unless the price is right. Many good prospects will shy away from a home that’s out of their price range. When the price eventually comes down to a realistic figure, these best prospects will have been lost forever. The seller will be doubly inconvenienced by having to show the home to prospects over a lengthy period of time while at the same time paying for the mortgage, interest, taxes, insurance and maintenance. Any home will sell at a realistic price (unless it's ready to fall off a cliff or is haunted). How do you set the right price from the start? Let your REALTOR help you set it.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1981 Merit Pay Rejected (Continued from Page 1) evaluation procedures to merit pay from budget time in 1983 to budget time in 1984. In explanation, he maintained that the evaluation system should be operating for a year in order to allow time to iron out any problems before making it the basis of merit pay. Consider—Not Adopt In the most significant, amendment to his original resolution, Eastham proposed that the board CONSIDER adopting a differentiated pay scale prior to staring budget work in 1984. The resolution submitted at the October meeting stipulated that the board would implement merit pay before drawing up the 1983 budget. “This resolution does not commit the board to implementing merit pay. It only commits the board to putting merit pay—as measured by the new evaluation system—on the agenda by 1984 for full discussion,” the Wakefield representative emphasized. Eastham added that with the merit pay proposal, he is attempting to halt the erosion of confidence in public schools and stop the exodus of students leaving for private schools. Each board member in turn reacted to Eastham’s resolution. “Merit pay is a wonderful |dea but l can see how it cowtd haa whoi* mtem can of worms,” Nelson Lane remarked. “This is an openended resolution...It only commits us to a direction.” He added that he knew of companies that had tried merit pay and abandoned the idea as well as companies that were just beginning differentiated pay programs. New board member Randall Updike agreed that Eastham’s "well worded resolution” only points the board in the direction of merit pay. He gave his unqualified support to instituting evaluation procedures but stopped short of doing the same for differentiated pay. “The biggest drawback is the evaluation...Can it be done fairly?" Updike reported that merit pay had been tried by the state Department of Agriculture, his employer. “It took five years to put it together,” with the department “totally revamped in the process.” he said. Under the department's modified merit pay system, employees were rewarded for superior performance through a restructured salary scale and now received yearly evaluations, according to Updike. No Evaluations Now Eastham interjected that in January, 1960, during visits to classrooms, he spoke with all teachers at both the elementary and high schools (except for two who were absent due to illness). “They said they weren't being evaluated—all except for four or five out of 60 some teachers.” Acknowledging that merit pay is a topic “dear to Mr. Eastham’s heart," superintendent Robert Estabrook said he still would have to differ with the Wakefield representative since he believed “education still to be more art than science.’* He challenged whether Eastham's resolution calling for merit pay to be considered after a “joint determination by the board and superintendent that an effective and fair evaluation system in in place” could really be considered openended. It’s one thing to put an evaluation »yU—i with the goal of improving instruction and judge the system with that goal in mind. It’s another thing to assume a system developed with that goal is adequate to serve as the basis for merit pay, Estabrook maintained. “I don’t personally see the need for connecting the two (evaluation and merit pay),” the superintendent said. He noted that the board can consider “any point on any topic at any time" and questioned whether the stipulation that the board will consider merit pay by budget time in 1964 should be part of a resolution on setting up evaluation proceedings. As for merit pay itself, Estabrook maintained that “we’re not at that stage of maturity in measuring Letters To The Editor Coverage Criticized To the editor: I feel the article on the front page of the Rappahannock News regarding Franklin Pullen was beyond reproach and degrading to his family. In my opinion, good news belongs on the front page and court actions should appear on the back page where it generally is found. Make no mistake, I am not condoning the mistakes Franklin has made over the years, but I do think that justice should be upheld as far as everyone is concerned, after all. Franklin is not a murderer nor has he destroyed any personal property to my knowledge. What has happened to the hundreds of others who have come before the Rappahannock Court for driving under the influence (many of whom have appeared more than once? Are they allowed to continue to be a threat to innocent and sober drivers *nd passengers on the high**y?) Futhermore, Franklin spent 13 months in Vietnam and I do not recall his name on the front page or any other page of the Rappahannock News. A Concerned Mother FRANCES PULLEN Sperryvillc l‘ Faint Praise To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that, at least as it appears to me, your reporting has recently become more accurate and even handed and, therefore, more professional. Congratulations! Example: recently, in reporting on an interview with Delegate Andy Guest, the News reported him as saying that he would vote for the ERA amendment and for popular election of School Board members throughout the Commonwealth, should they come before the General Assembly. Having just been with him and talked with him at Montpelier and at The Chimneys, I found it difficult to believe that the News had quoted him correctly. So did other local citizens with whom I discussed it. So I said, "Let’s ask the man who knows”. So I called Andy in Front Royal. He confirmed your accuracy without hesitation! I didn’t even bother to call Catron in Luray to check on the accuracy of his interview. Your credibility had been proven! BOB EASTHAM Flint Hill + +++ Knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven. —Shakespeare teacher performance.” He emphasized that he supports holding all school employees to high standards. “But I’m leary of merit pay,” he added. Possible Litigation Assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik said he’s worried over the legal consequences of instituting a merit pay system. He noted that federal and state laws require that all children be given a free and equal education. “How can we justify to a parent if their child is assigned to a non-merit teacher? We can’t have all our children going with merit teachers,” noted Lysik. “Randall (Updike) struck a chord that 1 can respond to and the word was ‘rewards’,” said board member Nancy Reeve. “I believe in rewards. I think they’re important...But I don’t know that merit pay fills that bill.” A merit pay system would be easy to put in place in a business that involved production, Reeve said. “But when we’re talking about rendering a service, judgement comes into play. She maintained that where services are involved, a merit pay system “is only as good as the person doing the evaluating.” “If we have a fair evaluation system, our administrators can help us develop and acquire the teachers that we want...I'm for evaluating and for giving the administration the goahead on developing our teachers to be the best ones we can have WITHOUT instituting merit pay,” Reeve said. She added that she knew of no school systems that use merit pay and would be interested in seeing how such a system works when applied to educators. Updike said he wanted input from teachers and asked the superintendent for a yes or no answer , as to whether teachers are in favor of or against merit pay. Opposed By Teachers "My impression would be that they're against it...that they're very ill at ease with it." Estabrook replied. Implicit in his resolution is the requirement that the administration check with surrounding localities to see what type of evaluation program they employ, Eastham interjected. In addition, he said, he would expect the administration to investigate how merit pay has worked in other places. Lysik’s concern about possible legal repercussions "absolutely punched me out," stated Lane, meeting nods of agreement around the board table. He added that the idea of merit pay “really needs more thought." A vote of Eastham’s resolution including his proposal for consideration of a differentiated pay scale was defeated two to one with Eastham in favor and chairman Beverly Massie and Nancy Reeve opposed. Lane and Updike abstained. (At first Lane voted against the proposal but changed his position after the other board members were polled.) A substitute resolution covering only the installation of an evaluation program for all school employees passed unanimously. Chairman Massie noted that the board wished to go on record as being grateful to Eastham for the interest and time he has devoted to school matters. “I’m trying to do my part to save the public school system of this county and this state," Eastham replied, in explaining the motivation behind his resolution advocating merit pay. "It really doesn't matter how the vote went tonight. Events will force its adoption,” he concluded. If AH — Rappahannnrk New* I’hiMo/S.

Unemployment Claims Upset Board (Continued from Page 1) reported that supporting documentation for the five unemployment claims was on file in county offices but that copies had not yet been received at the school board office. If the board members feel that the claims are unwarranted, Eastham added, the deadline for filing appeals in the cases is November 19. Acknowledging that the school board's lack of information on the unemployment claims shows a breakdown in paper work and communications, the board members agreed to ask the supervisors for immediate notice of any future claims from ex-school employees that come in while reimbursement is still being paid from the general fund. In addition, the board gave unanimous authorization to chairman Beverly Massie to file an appeal before the November 19 deadline if she feels the action is called for after reviewing background information. Late Bui Departure The new gas access policy adopted last month has created concern among school bus drivers and sparked what board member Nelson Lane described as a "Khoemeni surprise party with no warning.” Assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik reported that he met with drivers on November 6 as the result of late pick-up of students on October 29. The delay was caused by a spontaneous visit of the bus drivers to the superintendent's office, a v sit that occurred at the sime time the buses were * apposed to start on afternoon runs, according to Lysik. At the November 6 meeting, “we talked about the inappropriateness of the delay in picking up the children," he reported. Lysik emphasized that the bus drivers’ action “was not a strike and the bus drivers in no way intended it to be viewed as a strike.” During the meeting on November 6, Lysik and the drivers discussed the new gas access policy that led to the unannounced visit to the school board office. Two Pampers Last year, the board set a gas pumping policy that limited access to the school superintendent and transportation supervisor Allie Huff. “A breakdown in communications led to that policy not being followed to the letter but I didn't realize that all the drivers were still pumping their own gas,” acknowledged superintendent Estabrook in an interview on November 3. (Estabrook took over the office of superintendent in June, 1981, and was not employed by the county school system when the board limited gas access to two designated pumpers.) The realization that this earlier policy was not being followed plus his opinion that the old policy was impossible to enforce led to the issue being raised again this fall, Estabrook explained. In response, the board added the assistant superintendent, bus garage mechanic and RCHS principal and assistant principal to the list of authorized pumpers in October, in effort loosening the gas access policy. But the action was preceived by the bus drivers as “a lack of faith in them,” Estabrook said, since they didn’t know they weren’t allowed to pump gas under the old policy. In response to Lane's challenge to his assertion that the late pick-up was not a strike. Lysik stressed that the bus drivers ‘‘went to the superintendent for clarification (of the gas access policy). They were thinking that they could get back to the bus shop in time for the buses to leave on schedule but the discussion lasted just a little too long.” In addition to the gas access policy, Lysik noted that conversation at the November 6 meeting with the bus drivers touched on bus discipline, driver retirement, bus arrivals, parking for bus drivers, payment of three percent of annual salary toward health insurance premiums and installation of bathroom facilities at the bus garage. In regard to the drivers coming to his office to air their concerns, Estabrook expressed his disappointment that they hadn’t followed chain of command by first discussing the new gas access policy with Lysik who serves as transportation superintendent. Adherence to school board policy “has not been done in the past and has caused a lot of uproar and dissension,” stated board member Robert Eastham. Because the names of individuals would come up. he proposed that the discussion of the late pick-up on October 29 be continued in executive session. After a long closed meeting that ended at 1:40 a.m., the board voted to (1) hire Reid Payne as bus driver and mechanic and Roy Lee Knighting as bus driver, (2) accept resignations from a cafeteria worker and bus driver-mechanic, and (3) solicit two additional bids for roof work at the elementary school. No additional action was taken on the gas access policy, however. On the subject of roof repairs, Estabrook reported earlier in the meeting that the elementary school contains “on occasion to have a river flowing through the gym and at times the cafeteria and even the classrooms.” He told the board members that representatives from a roofing company in Winchester had inspected the roof that day and would submit a report. "They seemed to feel it could be permanently fixed,” Lysik said, adding that he expected "a very, very high cost.” At the start of last Tuesday’s meeting, David Johnson of Clement Insurance Company reviewed types of school insurance and agreed to make recommendations on expanding the board’s coverage, particularly in the area of liability, after he received complete information on the extent of coverage the board has now. Also related to insurance, new member Randall Updike suggested the board look into providing insurance coverage that would allow use of school buses by groups not related to the school, such as Girl Scouts and 4-H clubs. Confusion Abounds At Meeting (Continued from Page 1) in the district by the supervisors, “the planning commission decided to start the process all over again as a matter of policy,” Baumgardner reported. Once the landowners resubmitted, all the procedures had to be repeated, he said. Noting that she lacked a legal background, clerk Diane Bruce disagreed with the commonwealth’s attorney, maintaining that “tag-ons”—whether adjacent or non-adjacent—must come in the initial 30-day period after the AFD application is filed and can’t be included by the supervisors in the final step of the approval process. She suggested that a committee be formed to establish guidelines for action on an ag district and to resolve procedural questions. Bruce recalled that she’d informed the supervisors at their regular November meeting that “I was washing my hands of agricultural districts. 1 will not accept any more applications unless guidelines are set up or unless a writ of mandamus is entered saying I have to.” There’s a possibility that any guidelines developed by the county might not comply with state law, Latham noted. The Virginia Code section is relatively clear, countered Baumgardner, reading that the supervisors “may adopt as an ordinance the property or any modification of the (AFD) application it deems appropriate, including the inclusion, to the extent feasible, of adjacent significant farming and forest lands...” In addition, Baumgardner said, VPI’s expert on agricultural districts, Paxton Marshall, concurs that the supervisors can allow the addition of adjacent land even though Marshall also believes that it’s better for tag-ons to occur in the initial 30-day period. What you ve read seems plain enough to me—that you can tag-on at the supervisor level,” said Latham. Bruce noted, however, that Gen. Hugh Exton, chairmaft of the ag district advisory committee, has interpreted the law to require that any tag-ons must be evaluated by the advisory committee. In face of the divergent opinions, the supervisors named a committee of Baumgardner, Exton, Bruce, Latham and planning commission chairman A. Y. Stokes to work out guidelines set in flow-chart form. On Baumgardner’s recommendation, the board also voted unanimously to return Dwyer’s AFD application to the planning commission, starting the approval process over again. In other action, the supervisors agreed to hold a joint meeting with the planning commission to discuss establishment of flood plain boundaries for the village of Sperryville. In addition, by unanimous vote, the board approved the redistricting plan advertised in the Rappahannock News with one minor modification to correct a line drawn incorrectly on the 1971 redistricting map. The change affected one dwelling located at the Thornton River bridge on Route 621. The Little Fox

Residents Name Dec. 5 Official Charlie Gasch Appreciation Day ny H«K HIT(HINS<» Mappalmnnork Vh* Staff U rit«*r Charlie Gasch was the father of Castleton’s Volunteer Fire Department. More than that, the Maryland native who moved to Rappahannock in the early 1950s was an authentic good Samaritan, always ready to extend a helping hand to those less fortunate. Charlie died on November 5 in a Lanham, Maryland hospital after two months of expensive treatment for heart disorders and strok". In recognition of a life of service, his friends and neighbors in Castleton have declared Saturday, December 5, as “Charlie Gasch Appreciation Day.” The county’s Fire and Rescue Association will,, sponsor a turkey shoot, lunch, dinner and auction in the fire hall Charlie helped build. Proceeds from the day’s activities will be presented to Geraldine Gasch in her husband’s memory. The shooting match will start at 1 p.m. and continue until 4. This will be followed by a public supper and then an auction. If anyone has items they would like to contribute to the sale they may call Ray Cannon at 9374900, Jimmy Cannon at 9374700 or any member of the Castleton Fire Department. The public is cordially invited to attend the day’s events. Shooting match prizes include ham, turkeys and others and only 12 gauge guns may be used. rirst president By 1956, the Castleton community has grown to where 500 people were served on its rural mail route. The folks who lived in those settlements on the fringe of areas covered by the county’s other volunteer fire departments felt they needed protection of their own. Washington, Amissville and Sperryville were just too far away for comfort when a chimney fire set the roof ablaze or a burning field threatened a barn and the gear’s hay crop. ^ That’s when Charlie Gasch stepped in.

The season for sharing thanks and giving gifts is an ideal time to share your gardening skills and garden bounty with others. If you are an avid gardener, your home is probably full of potential gifts which would be costly if purchased; but even more important, gifts you make yourself will share a bit of your interest, enthusiasm, and love with others. Some sample ideas are as follows: From the Herb Bed - Dried herbs in small jars, herb salts, herb pillows from fragrant herbs, herb vinegars, bunches of herbs tied with ribbon to match the kitchen of the recipient. From the Cupboard - Relishes, pickles, and preserves. Attach attractive fabric to the jar and send along the recipe. Canned Vegetables Attach your favorite recipe for using the vegetable and a kitchen utensil to make the job easier. From the Work Room - Do J you have an old variety of self-pollinated annual vegetable such as lettuce, beans, or tomatoes that you have saved seeds from over the years? Prepare a packet with cultural directions as an attractive gift. From Your Wealth of Experience - Design a garden as a gift for a new gardener. Include plans, list of vegetables and copies of appropriate extension literature and seed catalogs. EMS Council Meeting The board of directors of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Medical Services Council will meet on November 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the conference room of Culpeper Memorial Hospital. All directors, members and interested citizens are urged to attend. For more information, contact Gary Rosson or Karen Calvert at 825-6849. TIRED OF RAKIING LEAVES? wr ihf V Giant-Vac j Leaf Blower But Charlie still found time and energy—not to mention money— to donate to the drive toward a fire company in Castleton. He gave the department its first piece of equipment, a 200-gallon fire truck, and followed that up with the gift of an auxiliary 1,500-gallon water tank truck. He provided all the wiring for the fire department building and then the labor to install both wiring and plumbing. Gasch was elected the company’s president in 1956 and also held that office when he died two weeks ago. “1 can’t describe what he did— everything, he did everything," said Effie Settle, an active member of the Castleton Ladies Auxiliary and a co-worker of Gasch’s since the fire department was started. “He volunteered his time and his money. He was always there. He was the one we could depend on.” ‘‘Charlie was the real founder of the Castleton Fire Department,” agreed Ruby Cannon whose husband Ray was the company's first fire chief. "He’d get up in the middle of the night to check on the fire trucks. He kept the fire company going all these years.” “He took money out of his pocket many a time for something or other. He was sold on the fire department,” Ray Cannon said, pointing out that Charlie remained active in two fire departments in Maryland as well, both located near his electrical business there. Gasch’s generosity of spirit encompassed more than the fire department, however. “He was always on call to help people, specially round here in the winter time with frozen pipes— anything in his line of work,” Ruby Cannon recalled. Christmas Concert The Rappahannock Choral Society under the direction of Gloria Harris, will present its annual Christmas Concert on December 6 at 8 p.m. at the Washington Baptist Church. “A Ceremony of Carols” by Benjamin Britten will be sung by treble voices with Mary Ann Pomfrey accompanying on harp.

The chorus is happy to present its youngest member, David Fisher, in a colo. Beverly Clark of Front Royal will accompany the group on piano. Mark Sunday, December 6, 8 p.m., Washington Baptist Church, on your calendar now. Admission is free; however, donations to the Rappahannock Choral Society are accepted. Begin the first day of Advent with this festival of song! “Whether it was with plumbing or electricity, he helped his neighbors far and near. No one ever called on him that he wasn’t there to try," Mrs. Settle added. Effie Settle’s son-in-law, electrician John Wayne Settle of Rixeyville, was one of several young men that Charlie Gasch took under his wing. He gave John the training and experience that enabled him to begin his own business, the same start Charlie gave to other county boys who now live and work in the metropolitan area. “He helped many young people. You might say that he got them started in life. He took them in and gave them a job,” Ray Cannon recalled. In this day of government assistance and government programs, people like Charlie Gasch have become an endangered species. Castleton’s Fire Department stands as a memorial to his volunteer spirit while his neighborliness lives on in the memory of folks who call that community home. But it's still nice to say thank you. The people of Rappahannock County will have that chance on December 5, Charlie Gasch Appreciation Day.

Johnson of Woodville will be conducted Thursday (today) at 2 p.m. at the Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church by the Rev. William Lancaster. Burial will be in Woodville Cemetery. Mrs. Johnson, 87, wife of Clarence Berkley Johnson, died Monday, November 16, 1981, in a hospital in Lakeland, Fla., where she had been spending the winter months for several years. A native of North Carolina, Mrs. Johnson was the daughter of the late James Harvey and Ella Carder and was a member of Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church. She was a retired teacher, having taught for years at the old Sperryville School, and she was a member of the Rappahannock Garden Club. Besides her husband, survivors include one son, Dr. lames H. Johnson of Lakeland, Fla. and three grandchildren. The family suggests expressions of sympathy be in the form of memorial donations to Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church. ++++ Strawberry plants can reproduce without seeds by sending out long stems called runners.

The group included two seniors, six cadettes, one junior and three brownies accompanied by three leaders. The brownies earned their outdoor world dabbler badge, helped by the seniors who needed the opportunity to earn requirements for first class and silver leadership The cadettes practiced dramatics, the focus of this year’s cadette program while the junior scout just went along for the fun of it all.

The pain is often directly attributed to a poorly functioning foot. As a matter of tact, it is quite common for a flatfooted child to complain of aching leg muscles, especially after activity. When the foot is not functioning properly, excessive stress is placed on these leg muscles and they may go into spasm. All children will complain of some discomfort in parts of their body from time to time, but recurrent pain in the same area should be followed up. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment. From the office of Dr. Bruce Vogel, Certified by the,American Board of Podiatric Surgery, 85 Garrett Street, Warrenton, Va. 347-9393. went off to war and the 52 one-room school houses where youngsters once learned their ABCs. “We had to rely on the memories of people to get the locations of the old post offices and schools. I’m sure we missed a lot of schools. We had a problem with the definition of a school; whether one room in a house where someone taught a few children how to read qualified as a school,” Elisabeth noted. Even after the county adopted complusory education in 1870, the records are incomplete, she added, basing her conclusion on the $250 total value set on all school property that year. ”1 suppose if we spent a lifetime on this, we could get it all,” Elisabeth concluded. After the long hours of research, both Johnsons are goldmines of local trivia, casually scattering tidbits of information across their conversations. “Abe Lincoln's grandfather lived beyond Riverton. Did you know that? You do now ‘cause it’s in our book!" Ned announced, his face creased into its characteristic grin. Or that George Washington had planned to hold up in Powell’s Fort Valley as a last ditch effort to save his revolutionary army if everything else went sour? “George Washington did get around a heck of a lot.

Woodville was once the biggest town in Rappahannock County with 137 lots, more even than Washington, according to Elisabeth. The town was named after a widely respected and much loved Episcopal minister, the Rev. John Woodville. It even had streets laid out, all named after trees, possibly, in Rev. Woodville’s honor. The town had five stores, a public park where the cemetery is today and a Temperance Hall, the site of concerts and plays. "It was the center of culture in Rappahannock County," Elisabeth noted. When the county instituted compulsory education in the late 1800s, teachers were among the best paid professionals in Rappahannock. "They got a good salary for those days — $20 to $30 a month. And they had to get there early in the morning to sweep out the school house and start the fires,” reported Ned. He began on another story, this one about the Rappahannock boy who was with Eisenhower during the historic meeting between Russian and American forces at the end of World War II. “Now don’t talk too much!” Elisabeth interupted. “If you tell everything for the newspaper article, no one will have to read our book.” Extensive Research The stories collected by the Johnsons were gathered after months and years of listening and looking. Pete Estes, another local history buff, looked over the Johnsons' source material for their book. “He couldn’t believe all the research we did on this,” Elisabeth said. “For instance, I read every word of the court records from 1833 to 1980!” Despite this monumental effort, a few other facts eluded the historical detectives besides the complete and authoritative listing of each and every oneroom school house. Elisabeth noted out the derivation of most of the county’s place names but try as she might, she couldn't pin down Rediviva. But it wasn’t the history of place names that presented the Johnsons with their biggest stumbling block; that honor belonged to the post offices. "Honest-to-God good information on the post offices was the hardest to find. We never did get it so we were satisfied." Ned acknowledged. “The post office was not very cooperative,” added Elisabeth, pursing her lips in a look of disapproval typical of an author dealing with a recalcitrant source. Generally, however, the Johnsons faced the problem Menus RCES November 23-25 Monday Pork Barbecue on bun, buttered corn, apple crisp, milk.

We just couldn’t do it. We'd be working forever. As it is, the book has 450 pages now,” Ned said. To get from 500 to 450 pages, they “scratched out and scratched out and scratched out — and cried a i lot," according to the < authors. They plan to donate all copies of their source materials to the Historical Society but the Johnsons intend to keep their original manuscript because so much was cut from the final draft that Went to the printers. "I composed and Ned disposed,” added Elisabeth, the half of the partnership responsible for most of the actual writing of the book. “We realize that since I’m the elder and the native of the county, it's going to be called Ned Johnson’s book but it’s really Momma Johnson's,” Ned emphasized. Copies of “Rappahannock County, Fact, Fiction, Foolishness and the Fairfax Story” are expected to arrive from the publisher’s by midDecember and will be available through the Rappahannock Historical Society which is handling sales for the Johnsons. The Society is now taking orders for the book at SI 5.95 plus tax with the price to go up to $19.95 after November 20. Elisabeth and Ned Johnson had a wonderful time in their first foray into the literary world but they don’t plan another trip. “It was fun but I’ll never do it again,” Ned confessed, shaking his head and grinning. “Why, I had to read all the* school board minutes from every last meeting!” ++++ The American horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus, named after the one-eyed giant of Greek myth, actually has nine eyes, National Geographic says.

Variance Granted (Continued from Page 1) was not against the building, and told Kramer that “anything that improves the town is well worth having." Councilwoman Dorothy Hawkins made the motion to grant Kramer’s variance; Charlie Jenkins seconded it, and the motion was unanimously approved. The motion granting the variance stipulates that the porch or steps not be forward of Janie Pullen's porch next door. Kathryn Treanor appeared before the Council as a spokesman for the Rappahannock Country Dance Society. Because of recent complaints before the Supervisors about noise from the Community Center, Treanor read a copy of a letter that she had sent to the Board of Supervisors. The letter included a description of the Society - a group formed for the instruction and enjoyment of country dancing; a statement by Treanor that the group had done everything possible to keep the noise at the lowest level; and a request that the country dance group not be required to purchase a permit or meet elsewhere. Newbill Miller told Treanor that the complaints did not concern her group. Treanor replied that the noise comnl»int« did not mention any one group so that there was some confusion. Mowing and Trash Pick-Up John Norman, who began this month to provide trash and mowing services for the town, asked the Council if there were any complaints about his work so far. Council members complimented Norman for his conscientious work and authorized him to cut the weed-type trees that threatened the foundation of the town hall. "But don’t cut down any boxwoods,” C.E. Giles added. Council also agreed to pay the bills and before adjourning authorized Charlie Jenkins to buy a heater for the pumphouse.
