32nd YEAR, NO. 49 USPS 45558C 10 Pages THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3,1981 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 20r Rappahannock Chorus Heralds The Christmas Season —HlppaKannnck News Photo/S. Latham . GLORIA HARRIS lives • life filled with music. By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The sounds of Christmas will ring through the sanctuary of the Washington Baptist Church on December 6. as the Rappahannock Chorus presents its annua! winter concert. An invocation of the traditional holiday spirit, this year’s program includes the beautiful “Ceremony of Carols” written by Benjamin Britton. Portions of the lyrics will be sung in Welsh to the harp accompaniment of Mary Ann Pomfrey. Judy Bomberger and Beth Bollinger, both accomplished vocalists who have delighted audiences at past performances, will be the featured soloists for the chorus’ rendition of English, French and Ukrainian carols. The concert promises to be a showcase for new talent as well. David Fisher of Washington, a student at Rappahannock County Elementary School, premiers as a chorus soloist in “Monotone Angel” while Gary Clarke, a high school sophomore from Front Royal, will add the accompaniment of a French horn to special numbers. In the grand finale of the winter concert, the chorus will be joined by Ken Shook on the trumpet for the presentation of Robert Shaw's “The Many Moods of Christmas.” An ambitious undertaking for a group of dedicated but nonprofessional singers? Not according to Gloria Harris, director of the .Raj) Rush River Sets A Lifestyle For Local A rtists By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vw» Staff Writer The impetus for the birth of Rush River. Rappahannock's showcase for art and crafts, grew out of one man’s struggle to sell his wares. “It was an idea we had before we moved here from New York.” explained furniture maker Peter Kramer. "It’s difficult for a craftsman to wholesale his work and make any money at it. To earn a living, a craftsperson must also be a retailer and that takes so much time that they don’t have any time left for their craft!” As Peter labored to create a market for his hand crafted replicas of furniture from America's past, he and his wife Joyce tried to figure out a better way. They came up with an idea for a cooperative that would be part showroom and part workshop. “The craftspeople who belonged to the co-op would take turns minding the store. That would eliminate the payroll expense almost entirely. You’d also be working with people who understood craftspeople," Peter noted. “It was to be a wonderful place to work, to be involved, to get feedback from each other, to exchange ideas and generate the excitement that only creating artists can give one another.” added Joyce Kramer. Working alone, an artist also has difficulty filling a store and if the shelves are stocked, it's usually with more of the same kind of craft. “That makes it hard to attract customers on a repeat basis. The more craftspeople you have exhibiting, the more variety you get. And then you have more impulse buying from someone who comes' in to purchase pottery and falls in love with a piece of woven wear,” Peter said. But New York City was no place to bring this concept of an artists’ cooperative to life. The Kramers' plan was pushed to the far away, maybe-some day future, that cubbyhole where so many dreams gather dust. Awestruck By County By 1972. however, Peter and Joyce decided they'd established enough of a market to risk a move from the city. "We drew a five hour circle around New York because that’s where my clients were at the time and we just started looking at places within an easy one day’s drive—New England. Pennsylvania. Maryland. "We finally wandered on down into Virginia and we were awestruck by the beauty of Rappahannock County. We found a house in Amissville that needed restoration, an interesting piece of property, and a year later Sharon Labovitz sought me out with her ideas for the Country Store.” Peter recalled. The Labovitz Kramer partnership lasted six months, long enough to center Peter’s interest in Washington. Virginia. Then in 1974, he and Joyce bought the old general store on Gay Street. Built in the early 1800s, it had been (Continued on Page 8) —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. bilum RAPPAHANNOCK ARTISANS June Jordan, Joyce Kramer and Peter Kramer take turns minding the store at Rush River.

Our choristers get better every year!" A resident of Rappahannock for the past 12 years, Gloria has directed the * chorus since 1977. ‘‘It existed before I started with it. Nels Parson was the director for the Bicentennial year. He collected a lot of choristers, including an entire Brownie troop, for a wonderful performance in front of the court house," she recalled. Rich Background Gloria is perfectly suited to hold the director’s wand. She has a background rich in musical experience but more than that, she loves music with an intensity that’s catching. At rehearsals, her singers exchange smiles with their director throughout the practice session, pleasure and enjoyment evident on every face. Her enthusiasm, especially for classical pieces, flows through her director’s baton to the singers in the chorus. “1 try to give the chorus one good piece of classical music in every concert. It’s good for the chorus members and for the audience. We do Bach cantatas, works by Brahms and Men TAX DEADLINE The deadline lot paying 1981 personal property and real estate taxes is this Saturday. December 5. After that date a 10 percent penalty is assessed and on January 1. 1982. a 10 percent interest charge is added, according to county treasurer Frances A. Foster. The treasurer added that she will be glad to answer any questions concerning your bill and in the event you have not received a billing, please contact her at 675-3334. The treasurer's office will be open a half day Saturday. Decmeber 5. from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. for the convenience of anyone unable to get to the office before.

Even in conversation unrelated to music, there's evidence of Gloria’s musical background; her voice has a lilt, a cadence that bespeaks her long association with tempos and beats. She began studying the piano when she was just six years old. “I sang in choirs and was often asked to play in church as a teenager. That kind of led me to sacred music," Gloria said. She followed that lead further in college where, as a music major, she added the organ to her repertoire and concentrated even more on church music. She went on to become choral and organ director for her church in Arlington for 10 years and when the Harris family moved to their home on Fodderstack Road she took over the direction of the choral group at the Flint Hill Methodist Church. Her duties as director are limited now to the Rappahannock Chorus but Gloria continues to give private piano lessons and substitute on the organ from time to time at her home church. Front Royal Presbyterian. Music Teacher In addition, she has taught music at Wakefield School in Huntly for the past five years. “I’m a firm believer in a balanced education and I think music can play a large part in achieving that balance. Kids need a little relief once in a while from the tension of math and other more academic subjects," she maintained. At Wakefield. Mrs. Harris (Continued on Page 3) Centel Schedules Hearing On Rate Increase By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rapitahannock \**w* Stnff VI rit«*r On Wednesday, December 9, the State Corporation Commission will hold its public hearing in Richmond on a rate increase application from Central Telephone Company (CenTel). Commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner will appear at the hearing on behalf of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to oppose the rate hike unless it is tied to a provision for better service. In a letter to the supervisors written after CenTel’s announcement that it would seek a rate increase, Baumgardner cited service - problems including excessive rates for toll calls, an excessive number of toll calls, obsolete equipment, delays in providing both private and business telephone service, frequent poor connections and frequent cut-offs in telephone connections, particularly during bad weather. Baumgardner also maintained that frequent failure of CenTel's long distance dialing capability left customers in a potentially life and property threatening situation since fire and rescue dispatch for the area in Rappahannock served by the utility is by long distance telephone through Culpeper. Baumgardner has volunteered to present written comments from local citizens at the SCC hearing in Richmond. Responses should be mailed immediately to the commonwealth’s attorney at P.O. Box 235, Washington, Va. 22747 or delivered to his office on Gay Street. If approved by the SCC, CenTel’s rate application will increase the company’s annual revenues by $8.5 million or approximately 10.7 percent. Charges for local access rates, or - what customers pay for their telephone lines, will go up an average of 23 percent. According to CenTel, if the rate hike is approved, it will work out to about a 4.6 percent increase per year since the utility’s last rate increase was approved in December, 1976. Charges Too Low The company maintains that it is currently charging about only half of what it costs to install phones and therefore needs its application approved by the SCC in order to bring rates and charges more in line with costs. In addition, CenTel has increased its investment irt equipment and property by 50 percent, or $88 million, since 1976, according to the company. It also reports that expenses for operation and maintenance have gone up by over 50 percent and that more than $27 million is projected to be spent on construction projects to serve CenTel’s 153,000 customers in 31 Virginia counties. The utility takes exception to charges of inadequate service. According to customer service manager E. H. Harper, CenTel received 211 fewer customer trouble reports during the period of January through June. 1981, than for the same six months in 1980. Harper termed this a 33.8 percent improvement. In a letter to the Rappahannock News *'~"dated October 19, the service (Continued on Pace 10) 20% Of County Homes Lack Indoor Plumbing Figures recently released by the U. S. Bureau of the Census indicate that area housing is characteristically more substandard, less available, and cheaper than housing throughout Virginia and the United States. These findings are part of an on-going analysis of 1980 Census Data for this region being conducted by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. According to census tabulations, the percentage of area housing units lacking complete plumbing for exclusive occupant use greatly exceeds both national and state percentages. ,1980 census figures show the region to have 10.9 percent of year-round units lacking plumbing. This compares to 5.1 percent in Virginia and 2.7 percent in the United States. In Rappahannock County, 20.2 percent of such units lack plumbing. Area owner and renter occupied units, which make up the bulk of all housing units, show similar comparative percentages. In Rappahannock County. 11.3 percent of owner occupied units and 31.2 percent of renter occupied units lack plumbing. Statewide, the percentages are 3.2 percent and 6.2 percent respectively. Nationally, they are 1.4 percent and 3.6 percent. Regional vacancy rates, a standard indicator of housing availability, are generally lower than state and national norms for both homeowner and rental units. In Rappahannock County, a 1.7 percent vacancy rate for homeowner units compares (Continued on Page 3) Greens Sale Members of the Rappahannock County Garden Club are setting up shop and gathering greens in preparation for their annual Christmas greens sale.

Breeding Race Horses Can Be A Working Family's Business By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer If thoroughbred racing is the sport of kings, then thoroughbred breeding must be the hobby of millionaires. At least that’s how the general public perceives the business of producing the flesh and blood speed machines that run for the blackeyed susans and buckets of prize money. But in actuallity, a significant percentage of the horses that thunder around tracks and fly over fences are bred on small farms by regular working folk who depend on the sale of a yearling or hunter prospect to pay the monthly mortgage and weekly grocery bills. Bill Weaver is one of those ordinary fellows who makes a living by raising thorough breds on a small scale. With his wife Peggy and daughter Dee, he runs West Wind Farm on Route 729 near Estes. Bill has been fooling around with horses all his life but until the family's move to Rappahannock eight years ago. he was a dairyman first and foremost. Weaver had two large dairy operations, initially in Catlett and later in Nokesville. “We shipped dairy cows from Wisconsin and sold them in Catlett, sold them to nearly every dairy farmer in Virginia at one time or another,” he recalled. After brucellosis swept through the south, decimating dairy herds, buyers came regularly from as far away as North Carolina for Weaver’s weekly sales. Thomas R.

Royal Ave Front Royal, Vi (703) (35-4112 • 2800 Valley Awe. l Winchester, Va. (703) M2-S900 CMC** XXIX The QOtNiCM COMMNV Swapped For Bones His departure from the ranks of dairymen is typical of the decision reached by more and more farmers who can’t Find a reason for continuing their backbreaking labor as they get older. “It was just my wife and myself at the time. I thought “What’s the use of working myself to death?” My arthritis got so bad I could hardly get down to milk the cows. My doctor warned me that if I didn’t stop. I’d end up running a wheel chair in and out of the barn.” But farming was Bill Weaver’s life’s work. It was what he knew best. So he bought the little 45 acre spread in Estes and switched from holsteins and jerseys to thoroughbreds. The Weavers weren’t novices in the horse business. Both Bill and Peggy were riders when they were younger and there’d always been ponies and horses around the place, mounts that were Aown and hunted by their daughter Dee. “I started riding when I was eight and I've been riding vigorously ever since,” Dee said. She breaks, trains and shows, now working primarily with green youngsters. “Young horses are about all I ride anymore. I wouldn't know how to ride a horse that already knew what he was doing!” she joked. First thing every morning, she’s in the saddle at Duchess Fannon's ring near Amissville, breaking a twoyear-old. Then it's back to the farm for a few turns on Chilly Host, a classy colt that the Weavers are hoping will bring top dollar. He took reserve champion as a yearling at the Warrenton show and third place last year in the prestigious Upperville horse and colt show. "He’s something kind of special,” Dee said, pointing with pride at a wall full of ribbons won by Chilly Host in halter classes. “He’s never Finished out of the ribbons," she added. If the handsome youngster hadn’t- Attracted a buyer , before the next show season. begins. Dee intends to put' him in performance classes: With that in mind, his schooling has intensiFied. Daily lessons now include a little foot-and-a-half jump that the show hunter prospect takes at a trot. Without a training ring. Dee works him in a circle next to the barn. He moves smoothly, easily and calmly with none of a high spirited colt’s usual shenannigans. On a brisk, windy afternoon, a two-yearold just taken from his warm stall will use a leaf, a shadow, even a parked car he’s seen 100 times before as an excuse to stand stiff legged and bug- . eyed, snorting and ready to shy. But Chilly Wind didn’t' even give a second glance to , the stranger snapping a camera practically in his face. He twitched an ear the first time the shutter clicked and just kept on trotting around the circle, steady as a “made” horse that’s had years of experience in the ring. According to Bill, Chilly Wind’s behavior is the rule : rather than the exception at West Wind Farm. “Dee never has any trouble breaking our horses. We handle them from the time they’re babies. We’re always petting them or doing something with them.” The daily contact with humans who stroke them, brush them and feed them, all the while crooning in soft • voices, is certainly a factor in raising babies that look upon their two-footed caretakers as friends and not adversaries. But Dee’s skills as a trainer shouldn’t be overlooked. She can turn a rank beginner into a polished show ring professional almost overnight. Her parents once bought an unschooled hunter prospect and shipped the green horse to North Carolina where Dee was living at the time. She worked him for less than a year and then brought the horse back up to Loudoun County to top the big fall hunter sale at Oatlands. Small Scale Breeden The barns and pastures at West Wind are home to 12 horses at present. The Weavers have one stallion standing at stud, Forbesy’s Ruler, a grandson of leading sire Bold Ruler. A five-yearold Virginia bred, Forbesy’s Ruler is just beginning to make a name for himself as a sire with one of his colts recently going for $50,000. He’s the daddy of several of the weanlings, yearlings and two-year-olds who doze ankle deep in straw in the roomy box stalls at West Wind. The farm is a family business. In addition to breeding stock. Bill offers a personalized buying service that grew out of appeals for help from friends and neighbors in finding the perfect horse to suit their needs and riding skills. Now other dealers will “list" their offerings with Bill and he earns a commission when he matches a horse and a buyer. And if any of the Weavers stumble on a likely prospect in their travels, they’ll buy the animal and take it back to West Wind to wait for an owner. “We usually have something here we can show people who are looking for a horse.” Bill noted. —Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson' UP, UP AND AWAY goes Chilly Host, the two-year-old that Dee Weaver is schooling for performance classes after two seasons of success in halter competition. In the breeding operation. Dee shares a half-interest in serveral of the yearlings and weanlings with her parents and all three of the Weavers share the chores. Everyone pitches in to clean stalls. Bill feeds the hay and Dee ladles out the grain every day. During breeding season, Bill handles the stallion, Peggy takes care of the mares and Dee minds the foals. “Of course, I get the great honor of doing all the bookkeeping," Peggy joked. Keeping the business records picks up when the mares start to arrive. “We have 25 to 30 horses here that belong to other people when we get to breeding mares in the spring,” Bill said. It puts the squeeze on stall space and so the Weavers are looking for a bigger farm, in Rappahannock and if possible along Route 729, an area that’s become the horse center of the county, Peggy pointed out. Moving along the road from Ben VeiiUe. sfof .ticked off the. number of bgegding operations: "There’s the two Paynes’ farms (Red Payne’s thoroughbreds and son and daughter-in-law Bill and Mauri Payne's appaloosas).

Until recently, Dee worked for the Virginia Thoroughbred Association and she’s an eloquent spokesperson on behalf of the contributions that the horse business—particularly the thoroughbred end—makes to the state’s economy. “Just think of all the people who are employed in related jobs—feed stores, tack shops, farm machinery sales and repairs, horse trailer sales, blacksmiths, veterinarians. And thousands and thousands of dollars worth of horse business goes jjgfit across the border," she noted, blaming the exodus on Virginia's failure to offer breeder incentives and parimutual racing. Dee can rattle off the figures like the total value of Virginia horse flesh that went under the auctioneer's gavel at a recent sale in Maryland and translate that into dollars and cents of lost sales tax revenue. She sees the horse industry, particularly small scale businesses run by the little people, as one of the keys to preserving Virginia’s agricultural base. Horses aren't raised in parking lots; they need rolling fields that might otherwise be subdivided and paved over if it isn't possible to earn a living from the land, she noted. In order to keep the business that relies on those open fields viable. Dee and her parents believe that Virginia must adopt the breeder incentives offered in neighboring states. They’re convinced that without government inducements, the state’s thoroughbred industry will move elsewhere. “The interest is here and the natural resources are here. It will be a shame if Virginia loses the horses.” Dee concluded. History Of The Forty-Ninth Virginia Infantry C.S.A. “Extra Billy Smith’s Boys” by Laura Virginia Hale and Stanley S.

Rappahannock Chorus (Continued from Page 1) teaches a very thorougl music appreciation coursi that includes studying th< *ives of major composers listening to their works and learning how music relates tc other arts during different periods of history. “Then I have them learn theory, the actual notation of music. By sixth grade, hopefully, they can sight read, at least the treble clef,” she reported. “And we do singing—a lot ' of singing just for the enjoyment of singing,” Gloria added. From first grade through high school, she noted, Wakefield students participate in choral groups under her direction. She fits Rappahannock chorus practices into her busy musical schedule in the evenings. The chorus usually presents three concerts annually—one in the spring, one at the fourth of July and one in the winter—as well as doing benefit and church performances so Mrs. Harris keeps her singers rehearsing throughout the year. Practice sessions are held every Tuesday night in the parish hall of Trinity Church and concerts in either the old Washington school now owned by William Carriean or the Baptist Church. i]+4 PARK THEATRE 1 US itff.ranni Last Nite -7:30 5 Only When I Laugh'£ _ (PQ)fl * SHW1S HHOUDIIM Frl. & Sat. 7:20 & 9:00 Sat./Sun.

He even bought a piano for our use two years ago. He’s one of the people you just can’t do without!” Mrs. Harris said, adding that the Baptist Church and Trinity have been equally as cooperative in providing the chorus with space. As soon as one concert is over, Gloria starts immediately on the next program. “I spend days in - music stores. I browse and browse and browse until something inspires me. It takes a long time to select a program. More than that, it takes a long time to polish it. We’ve had people come to rehearsal the first time and on their second visit, they’ll complain, ‘This is really work!’ And it is,” Gloria acknowledged. “I drill. I really drill—and drill—and drill—and drill.” This attention to detail has molded a group of enthusiastic singers into an almost professional chorus, a blend of voices that rarely—if ever—strikes a sour note. Gloria’s plans for the future reflect her pride in the chorus. “I’d love to take them on an European tour some day, to show them off in France, Germany...” she mused. “That’s my dream.” KOD^tWOODSTOVES WoodstoveHeal By the people who know cold.

Basketball Season Opener Friday Night At RCHS The Rappahannock County High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Basketball Teams will have their first home game Friday night against the Clarke County Eagles. It is mandatory that all Rappahannock spectators abide by Skyline District Regulations which are posted both in the main hallway of the high school as well as in the gymnasium. Spectators are asked to pay attention to signs which have been posted to re-emphasize both Skyline District and school regulations. The Virginia High School League has set a code for interscholastic athletics in which they feel the spectator should: (1) Realize that he-she represents the school as definitely as does the member of a team and has an obligation to good sportsmanship. (2) Recognize that good sportsmanship is more important than victory by approving and applauding good team play exhibited by either team. (3) Treat visting teams and officials as guests, extending to them every courtesy. (4) Respect the judgment of integrity of officials, realizing that their decisions are based upon game conditions as they observe them. It is strongly felt that booing has no place in the R.C.H.S. gymnasium and standing at attention during our National Anthem is a must. Ticket prices for the 1981 - 82 season are as follows: Presale to students only - SI.50 Gate Prices: Students - S2.50, Adults - $2.50 Based upon past years experience coupled with a small gymnasium we anticipate several sell-out crowds. If you want to be assured of a seat, you must get here early. Home games begin at 6:15 p.m. with the Junior Varsity playing first followed by the Varsity game at 7:45 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Some home games have been sold out as earlyas 7:30 p.m. It is most difficult to turn away fans who have been so supportive, but there is no alternative in a sold out situation.

DECEMBER 3, 1981 The Historic Byrd Era Virginia entered the last year of an era Monday afternoon when U. S. Sen. Harry Flood Byrd Jr. announced in Richmond that he would not be a candidate for re-election in 1982. With that announcement. Sen. Byrd ended one of the longest family monopolies on Capitol Hill. Since March 4, 1933, Virginia has had a member of the Byrd family representing her in the United States Senate. Come January 1983, that nearly half century of service will end. However, it would be foolish for anyone to predict that Sen. Byrd s retirement will mark the end of the family’s influence in Virginia politics. Those roots were deeply planted by Sen. Byrd’s father, Harry Flood Byrd Sr., who during his tenure as a Democrat in the Virginia Senate, the Governor’s mansion and his 32 years as United States Senator shaped Virginia’s government and political philosophy. The key message preached by the senior Byrd and carried forth by his son was one of fiscal responsibility. Harry Byrd Sr. first came to statewide prominence in 1923 when as a state senator he successfully led the fight against a $50 million bond issue for roads. He traveled the Commonwealth relentlessly preaching his Pay-as-you-go philosophy. Two years later he was elected governor of Virginia, giving birth to the successful Byrd Democratic political machine. As governor, he streamlined the Virginia Constitution with 80 amendments and placed the responsibility of the state’s progress more directly in the hands of the governor’s office. _ ^ He pushed through a tough antilynching law. He cajoled the state into taking over all roads and made the roads commission responsible for their improvement and upkeep. And he changed a $1.9 million budget deficit into a $3.7 million surplus. In 1933, he was appointed to the U. S. Senate, where he preached his philosophy of fiscal integrity until his retirement in 1965. There was no question as to whom the next senator from Virginia would be. The senator’s son had by that time spent 18 years in the Virginia Senate. Harry Byrd Jr. was appointed to fill his father’s unexpired term on Nov. 12, 1965. At the time of his appointment. Sen. Byrd Jr. said in a newspaper interview, "I think of myself as a forward-looking conservative. I have a basic philosophy and in the framework of this philosophy, I believe every businessman and every legislator must look ahead. We must be prepared to change as the situation changes. Times and conditions and opportunities change—and you must change with them. No one can stand still. But the arithmetic table does not change. Sooner or later this country must face up to its fiscal problem. We cannot continue forever with heavy deficit spending. To stay strong, we will have to put our fiscal house in order.” The philosophy shaped by Sen. Byrd Sr. was given continued life by his son. One break the younger Byrd made from his father was his decision in 1970 to remove himself from the ranks of the state Democratic party. At that time. Sen. Byrd Jr. stated that he had not left the party, it had left him. The state party machinery was moving more and more to the left under the influence of George Rawlings and Henry Howell. The Senator could no longer find a comfortable home in the party his father had made so strong. He became a political independent, aligning himself only with the organization his father had molded over the years. While serving as an independent in Washington, Sen. Byrd continued to meet with the Senate’s Democratic caucus, much to the consternation of Virginia Democrats. As the Republican Party gained strength in Virginia during the ’70s pressure mounted on Sen. Byrd to make another move away from his father's party. Although he was lobbied intensely by the Gop, Sen. Byrd maintained his Independent status. His son, Tom Byrd, however, did make the move and for awhile seemed to be ready to launch his political career in a race for lieutenant governor as a Republican. He later withdrew from that race citing personal reasons. There is a great deal of speculation'. ' that the election of Democrat Charles Robb as governor in November, a move that ended the 12 year Republican claim on that office, may have prompted Sen. Byrd’s decision. During a press conference following his retirement announcement in Richmond, the Senator brushed this aside, saying that he had decided that 18 years in the U. S. Senate was enough. The Senator's decision removing himself from the daily life of Washington does not surprise those who knew him well as a publisher of the Winchester Star and as a farmer. Several years ago, Sen. Byrd said privately that given the choice between the Senate or the newspaper business, he would prefer to be a newspaper publisher. While Monday’s announcement marks the end of an era in Virginia, there is no doubt that the family’s influence on Virginia politics will continue for some time. Potential candidates for Sen. Byrd’s seat are already scampering for support in Virginia. And that scampering will most assuredly take them .to Winchester, where they will seek the endorsement of Sen. Byrd. Easing Of Mining Laws Proposed The Piedmont Environmental Council has learned that the Marline Uranium Corporation, which only weeks ago urged the Culpeper Board of Supervisors to “regulate the hell” out of the industry, is supporting new State legislation which will narrow the authorities of local governments to regulate uranium Title 1 Advisory Council Meets The Rappahannock County Title 1 Parent Advisory Council will meet Thursday. December 10. at 1:30 p.m. at Rappahannock County Elementary School Title 1 Reading Lab. » The major items on the agenda will be 1981-82 PAC organization, election of officers, current program review and plans for 1982-83. All members are encouraged to attend. development, alter State bonding requiremeqts for uranium mine reclamation, and speed up approval processes with a controversial one-step permitting. In reportedly taking the legislative package, which includes a variety of changes to existing State laws, directly t0 the current Administration. Marline representatives appear to have bypassed the Committee of the Virginia Coal and Energy Commission that is studying the environmental and public health hazards associated with the industry. The Piedmont Environmental Council, which has functioned as a clearinghouse of information on uranium development, is concerned that these efforts may indicate that the long lead-time prior to mining that Marline has referenced may well be drawing to a close. The release of Marline’s proposal coincides with a stepped-up public relations campaign by the Company in Pittsylvania County, apparent renewed interest in the Northern Piedmont and, most importantly, a strong move by the uranium industry at the national level to weaken Federal safeguards on handling and disposal of uranium mill tailings. An act making appropriations for energy and water development, House Resolution 4144, is the vehicle for, in effect, dismantling the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's year-old regulatory program under the Federal Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act. Language added to that bill by Representative Samuel S. Stratton D-New York says ‘‘...no funds appropriated to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in this Act may be used to implement or enforce any portion of the Uranium Mill Liscensing Requirements published as final rules...on October 30, 1980.” Reports indicate that no substantial language change is expected when the budget bill finally clears the Senate and House conference committee. Our Rappahannock Heritage —Kappahannock New* Pho4o/S. Latham This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS TEN YEARS AGO IN THE Rappahannock News of December 2, 1971, it was reported that several accidents occured on Thanksgiving eve, the result of 6 to 14 inches of snow. The varsity basketball team beginning the 1971 season at Rappahannock County High School was composed of Lorenzo Fletcher, Bobby Smoot, Steve Leake, Bill Settle, Ronnie Myers, Carol Settle, Bill Kilby, Harry Jordan, Cliff Frye, Lawrence Turner, Tom Wiginton and Ernest Dennis. The coach that year was Carter Ellis. On the front page was a picture of S.W. Varner and an article about this interesting eighty-four-year-old man who had been a blacksmith, a slide trombonist, a lineman, repairman and a farmer. Mf. Varner had .been a resident of Woodville and1 atone time of the article still farmed and made his own meals and preserves in his woodburning stove. Those looking for housing in Rappahannock County could buy a new 3-bedroom house with electric heat for $17,500 with a 33-year loan and 7 V\% interest. RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS TWENTY YEARS AGO Anyone looking for a house in Sperryville in 1961 could buy a 5-room bungalow on a large lot with a garden for $5,000. f Triplett Milling Cbmpany in Culpeper published a weekly recipe and their recipe for the week of < December 7 was for a pound cake: Cream 3 sticks butter or margarine (room temp. 1 with one box of 4 x sugar.

Correction The Rappahannock News incorrectly reported names of winners in the variety show held recently at the elementary school. Demian Wright and Richard Tribino won first place while Tara Fisher and Denise Eidson took second. The News regrets the error. Redistricting Saga Rolls On—And On it? \i>\M" \rnti«l<l r* '‘I.ill Gov John. N. Dalton vetoed the latest House of Delegates redistricting plan Monday and indicated that a single-member district plan would be a better way of achieving districts that are both compact and “consistently" maintain communities of interest. Dalton's press secretary, Charles J- Davis 111, said that the governor has not ruled out plans containing multimember districts. But Davis added. "Certainly, he leans toward single-member districts.” Davis also said the governor believes the latest plan is a “step backwards” from a plan the General Assembly approved earlier this year, since the latest plan, approved last Tuesday, contains fewer single-member districtrthan the earlier plan. Davis also denied that the Republican governor’s decision was made for partisan reasons. Dalton, he said, -spoke to people “on both sides of the aisle" and did not veto the bill simply to help GOP legislators. “I don't think partisan politics played a major role in this,” Davis said. The plan approved by the General Assembly last week and vetoed by Dalton puts Rappahannock in a singlemember district with Shenandoah and Warren counties. Del. Raymond R. “Andy" Guest Jr. (R-Front Royal), who was elected Nov. 3 to represent a district that includes Rappahannock, opposed the plan last week. Under the plan, he and Del. Clinton Miller, a fellow Republican who lives in Shenandoah County, would be placed in the same district. “I’m glad the thing was vetoed!” was the reaction from Guest. He predicted that the "supporters of that hodgepodge” will be unsuccessful in their efforts to override the Governor's veto. "I don’t think they can get the votes,” Guest maintained. He said he expected to be called back to Richmond some time in the immediate future as the General Assembly tries once again to come up with a redistricting plan that's acceptable to the legislature, the Governor, the Justice Department and the federal courts. Guest indicated he will work to keep the area he currently represents which includes Clarke, Warren, Rappahannock and Page counties. He added, however, that he could see supporting a redistricting plan that gave him another configuration as long as the district closely followed population guidelihes and met what he termed “the three Cs...It has to be contiguous, compact and include a community of interest." Del. George P. Beard, who formerly represented a district that included Rappahannock, said he supported the plan because it would maintain jurisdictional boundaries. He had earlier supported a single-member district plan that would have maintained local boundaries, he added. Beard said he would vote to override Dalton’s veto, primarily because singlemember districts that may be proposed would mostly likely cross jurisdictional lines, dividing counties and other areas. Republicans have indicated that single-member districts will help them make gains in the House, which is currently controlled by Democrats. The GOP gained eight seats this'year, for a total of 33 in the 100-member House, and hopes to make further gains through singlemember districts. A three-judge federal panel in Richmond ruled in late August that the earlier plan, which was used for interim House elections this year, was unconstitutional, because its 26 percent total population deviation did not meet federal guidelines for equal representation. The court said the assembly would have until Feb. 1 to develop a House plan that is acceptable to both the court and the U. S. Justice Department, which determines whether redistricting plans dilute minority voting strength. If the legislature is unable to develop an acceptable plan, the court said it will draw up its own plan, which would most likely contain 100 single-member districts. The assembly will now be called back to Richmond, most likely in the next few weeks, to determine whether to draw a new plan or attempt to override the veto. A two-thirds majority of members voting'in both the House and Senate is needed to override, and it is unclear whether the Democratic majorities in both bodies will unite against the governor. Beard added that there apDears to be enough votes in (Continued on Page 10) The Little Fox / *<Pto sAm\ 400 OA

Panther^ Tales By RICHIK BIKKK and LORI FRY E This week we would like to dedicate our article to our hardworking boys basketball teams. If you were to observe one of their practices you would discover two teams with great potential and determination. From previous articles on area teams the public has gotten an idea of the team's talents from the coaches point of view. We would like to present the players’ points of views on their talents, goals and expectations. In talking to the varsity team we received one answer which was a prevalent throughout the group. All the players agreed on one goal: Win the Skyline District championship trophy. We also asked Gary Foster, the team’s manager, how he felt about the team's talent. “I think we’ll win due to good ball handling and the team’s ability to move the ball inside”, said Foster. Carl Frye, who is returning to the squad for the second time, had an unbiased opinion of his team. "We have a very capable team and Community Fire Dept, would like to express their appreciation to everyone who helped make their dinner and dance a success. I our contribution and help was greatly appreciated. Thanks The C a s 11 e t o n wins will be contributed to both the inside and outside forces. We can either run the ball or use a slow paced offense”. The junior varsity team was asked similar questions about their goals and abilities. There was also a consensus among this group. To win the district championship and the Page News Courier Tourney are their main goals. There is the eighth grade team which participates in the fall athletic program. It is the starting ground for our future stars. According to Michael Starks, a member of this team, this year’s eighth graders will be the team to see. He adds, “Our height and speed will make us better than teams of the past.” Keeping all this in mind we hope all you Panther fans will come out and support this year’s teams.^^,.

Information regarding costs for this GED test, how to interpret-test results and hints on taking the test will also be provided. Mrs. Sanford is a licensed counselor for the State of Virginia and this enables her to provide counseling for concerns which may be of a personal nature. Also, contributing to her qualifications is her experience for the past 28 years as an educator and counselor in area schools. Mrs. Sanford received her undergraduate degree from Mary Washington College and her graduate degree from the University of Virginia.

(Ted) Robertson has been elected chairman of the Fauquier Chapter of the American Red Cross, succeeding Mrs. T. W. S. Davis. At a recent meeting, the board of directors also reelected Miss Blanche O’Connell vice-chairman, Mrs. Geraldine Rogers, secretary. Miss Lora Jenkins, treasurer, and M. J. O’Connell honorary vicechairman. Mr. Robertson previously served as chairman from 1975 to 1978. Elected to the board for the first time were: Miss Kathryn A. Carter, William Kroger, H. T. A. Nevill, Mrs. Anne Brooke Smith, all of Warrenton, and Mrs. Laurie Starke, Casanova, and Col. James White, Flint Hill. Reelected to the board were Miss Lora Jenkins. Warrenton, and Mrs. Blair W. Lawrence. The Plains. The directors were advised that a critical fund shortage faces the chapter, which serves Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. Last March, the chapter set a goal of $19,800 to be raised this year. As of Nov. 20, the outgoing chairman, Mrs. Davis, reported, only $12,838 had been received. This puts in jeopardy, she said, some of the services the chapter has been performing for the residents of the two counties. While the most visible and best known of these is the blood collection program, the chapter is required by its charter to render service to military families and veterans. The chapter last year aided families of 65 active service personnel and 85 families of veterans. It is Defense Department policy, for instance, to ask the Red Cross to verify requests for emergency home leave, and the chapter assists veterans in Woodville Area News By JUNE CLARK Rappahannock News Correspondent Misses Bonnie Brown and Tanya Brown of Silver Spring, Md. were guests of their parents, Mrs. Chloe Brown and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Brown for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Charlie Gasch Appreciation Day This Saturday Festivities planned for Charlie Gasch Appreciation Day this Saturday, December 5, in Castleton include a turkey shoot, dinner and auction in the fire hall that Gasch helped build. The Fire and Rescue Association have Bass Limits Revised The Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, during the meeting held on October 16, adopted a proposal from the Fish Division regarding bass size limit changes on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. As a result, the following changes to the regulations became effective: No minimum size for bass from Port Republic to the Power Dam at Luray, Virginia. Prohibit the harvest of bass (from 11 inches to 13 inches) inclusive from the Luray Power Dam to the downstream confluence with the North Fork of the Shenandoah at Riverton, Va. Continue the 12-inch limit on the North Fork of the Shenandoah and downstream of Riverton. During the next five-yearperiod, Supervising Biologist John Kauffman will evaluate the three regulations. Bass growth rates, size distribution and survival rates will be monitored. The size distribution and abundance of other species will also be examined. It is expected that after five years one of the three regulations will be adopted for the entire system.

This type of work necessitates many longdistance telephone calls, among other expenses incurred. The services to military families and veterans uses up much of the Fauquier Chapter’s budget, Mrs. Davis said. Because this work, as well as disaster relief, is mandated by the Red Cross charter from Congress, she pointed out that some of the other chapter, work might have to be curtailed unless * more contributions are received in the near future. She asks that contributions be mailed or delivered to the chapter headquarters, 53 South Third Street, Warrenton. Among such other services is the popular first aid program. Last year. Red Cross instructors from the Fauquier chapter trained 364 people in cardiac pulmonary resuscitation, including members of fire departments, rescue squads and Vint Hill military personnel. They also trained 48 people in standard first aid, and 67 in advanced first aid. Instructors authorized by the chapter last year awarded 207 certificates in various grades of water safety or swimming. Mrs. Davis also announced that Mrs. Dorothy Utz has been appointed captain of the Bloodmobile at the National Guard Armory. She succeeds Lt. Col. Lelia (Mickey) Kehoe, who has retired from the board and as captain of the Bloodmobile after 11 years of service that Mrs. Davis termed “magnificent.” CONTRA DANCE Sat.

Burning feet can be an indication of certain metabolic diseases such as diabetes or arthritis, or even gout. It can be caused by a problem with the red blood cells or even a dietary deficiency.

He bagged the deer in his com field last week. According to Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston, there are plenty of deer roaming the county’s fields and forests and hunters are getting their share with the harvest running almost double last year’s. Deer Kill High In County The kill for the 1981-82 deer season is running well above average with between 400 and 500 deer checked to date, according to Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston. At this same point in the hunting season last year, approximately 250 kills had been turned in. While the abundance of deer is good news for hunters, there’s good news for county landowners as well. Bankston reported that the incidence of illegal hunting—shooting from the road, shooting does out of season and shooting onto posted property—is down. He noted, however, that the season west of the Blue Ridge closed last Saturday so Rappahannock can expect an influx of out-of-county i hunters. [ Along with the increased ( deer harvest, bear and turkey I kills are up also. Bankston ! reported that 10 bears have ► been checked at game stations to date compared to two in the same period for last year while 30 turkeys have been turned in compared to 20 last year. Rappahannock’s game warden noted that the state’s 1981-82 hunting season has been marred by accidents in Frederick and Page counties and reminded hunters and hikers walking in the woods to wear blaze orange protective clothing. He also stressed that Virginia law requires hunters to attach game tags to animals before moving the carcass from the place of kill. This and other hunting regulations are detailed in the 1981 Virginia Game Digest. Copies of the digest are available at county checking stations: Jenkins Garage in Amissville, Flint Hill Store House (formerly Bradford’s Grocery) in Flint Hill, Williams Grocery in Chester Gap, Sperryville Exxon in Sperryville.

Wood Ashes May Be Useful In Garden Ashes from the wood burning stove can be a source of potash for the home garden. “If you have wood ashes, by all means save them for use on the garden.” said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home horticulture.

S.5 percent potash and 1.8 percent phosphoric acid, but no nitrogen. Nitrogen is the most important fertilizer material required by most plants, so wood ashes are of less importance as a fertilizer. They still will be useful, however. Broadcast the ashes uniformly over the area before working up the soil by rototilling or plowing. “If you only have a small supply of wood ashes consider using it in a compost pile,’’ said the faculty member in Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “The ashes will aid in the breakdown of plant materials by cutting down on excess acidity.” Flint Hill Area News Notes - Mr. and Mrs. Luther Kay and Mrs. Guy Palmore of Richmond, Mrs. Bessie Derieux of Highland Springs.

Rush River (Continued from Page 1) boarded up and abandoned since the 1940s but with a little renovation, it made a perfect gallery. The Kramers retrieved that old dream from the some day-maybe cubbyhole and Rush River Artists’ Cooperative was underway—on a shoe string but underway. “At first we couldn’t find craftsmen who saw things the way we saw them.’’ Peter remembered. So when the store first opened, it was a co-op but not necessarily an artists and craftspersons' coop. It was the first home for Rae Haase’s Nature’s Foods. Mary Selles and Howard Abrams used it as an outlet for antiques and clocks. The only honest-to-goodness crafts displayed there were Peter's table, chairs, bureaus and other furniture pieces.

But the concept of a joint shop and gallery never worked out to everyone’s satisfaction and that part of the dream was dropped when Shroeder left. Inadequate space for display of both antiques and a complete line of natural food products led to the departure of Rae Haase and Mary Selles as well. From Crisis To Crafts "It all happened at the end of one week. We were down to two members,” Peter recalled. “We didn’t know what would happen to the shop.” What happened was the final evolution of Rush River into a true arts and crafts gallery. Peter got on the phone and started calling local craftspersons that he knew, trying to arrange a meeting for that very night. Washington potter June Jordan was there as was a couple from WoodvHJe who were weavers, potters, and woodworkers. From Madison came blacksmith Nol Putnam and his wife, potter Ann Friend Clark. They all opted to join Rush River as did nationally acclaimed quilter Ginny Beyer, a resident of Alexandria who owns land in the county, and artist Barbara Bockman. also a weekend Rappahannock resident. Of that core group, the Kramers, Jordan. Bockman and Beyer remain today as* participating members of the cooperative. A second category of membership was added recently. Since the building was first purchased in 1974. equity had built to the point where new members had to put up a sizable down payment in order to join, Peter explained: Since most working artists and craftspersons are usually short on capital, the roster now includes the category of exhibiting members who rent a block of space in the store without having to meet timesharing requirements or make a down payment. This new option has attracted fresh talent to Rush River. Delicate glassware created by Eric Kvarnes at his Gid Brown Hollow studio now shares shelf space with Judy Hogan's graceful silk flowers and plants that look more real than nature's own works of art. Photographic visions captured by Pali Delevitt are displayed on the walls. Scrafs, hats, shawls and wall hangings woven by Rappahannock weaver Kim Jacobsen fill the shelves. Counters serve as showcases for the pottery of “Boston Area Social News By MRS.

Latham WASHINGTON POTTER June Jordan rearranges a display of her bowls in preparation for Rush River’s annual Christinas open house this. .Saturday, , December 5. • _ Chuck and Janet Brome of Warren County. Coffee and end tables, handmade by Bahr Kinzer, woodworker from Hume who is Rush River's newest member, grace the adjoining display room that once was the dulcimer shop. Wooden spoons, bowls, dippers and other “treenware” fashioned by Roger Sandstrum from Missouri and corn hearth brooms made by Larry Pierson of Abingdon, both old friends of the Kramers', also have been added in the little side room. The old members still have many fine examples of their art on display as well. Bockman’s oil paintings, water colors and woodblock prints grab the eye's attention. The unusual sky blues and earthy browns of June Jordan's pottery glow against the dark wood background of Rush River's century-old shelves. Bockman and Beyer have stocked an entire comer with quilting supplies: how-to books, thread, frames, patterns and bolts and bolts of cloth. Handsewn items of apparel are also displayed in the quilter’s comer. The little side room holds Peter Kramer’s furniture, craftsmanship that has won national acclaim and has been featured in articles in the Washington Post, the Star, Southern Living and a host of other magazines and periodicals. And Joyce Kramer still has her books—paperbacks and hardbounds, many related to crafts, others to country living, covering a wide range of subjects from identifying wild flowers to the principles of solar heating. She's also added a section devoted entirely to local authors. Rush River has James J. Kilpatrick's “Foxes Union" and his collaboration with Gene McCarthy, “A Political Beastiary,"; McCarthy’s books of poetry and children's books; Sheila Geoghegan’s “Dining In and Dining Out,” and Grace Firth’s “Stillroom Cookery.” As a community project, Joyce also sells Rappahannock County t-shirts for Washington's Volunteer Fire Department and maps and books for the Rappahannock County Historical Society. The artists and craftspeople who are Rush River see the cooperative as a growing concent. "People like the store. Every year, we get fuller and fuller with better and better crafts," Peter said. “We have three rooms upstairs that some day we’d like to see as part of the store," he continued. "But first, we need to do more business and we need to attract more quality artists and craftspeople who want to display their wares." If there's one disappointment that members of the cooperative feel it’s that most local people have never even visited Rush River. “It’s really a shame,” Joyce remarked. “When they shop here or just stop in, they become part of the craft world. They’re really participating in the arts and crafts and it’s a nice world to be in. We’re not limited to the old or to the new—just to things that are beautiful and pleasing. There’s a special quality about Rush River. You know people are alive and working and contributing without it being a big merchandising effort and I like that...Rush River is more than a store. It’s a way to live rather than just a store,” she added. ++++ This Saturday, December 5. Rush River will hold its annual Christmas open house from noon until 5 p.m. Many of the artists and craftspeople who are members of the cooperative will be there and refreshments will be served.

Rate Hike Opposed (Continued from Page 1) manager acknowledged that “approximately 18 months ago we were experiencing toll service problems caused, in most part, by cut cables. During 1981 we haven’t had a single case where all the toll service was out. We have had two instances with partial outages caused by equipment failures.” As for delays in providing service. Harper noted that CenTel had a total of 13 held orders in February. 1980. In October. 1981, the company had four held orders “and this has fluctuated up and down.” Harper stated. “However, we do provide facilities as needed. We do not provide facilities in rural areas until needed unless there is a concrete evidence of a need. Our rate payers would not want this because it would inflate our rate base and cause rates to go up. When we do place facilities we try to provide service to the customer at hand.” he said.

He added that the Leesburg direct dial trunk, up from 83 percent capacity in May, would be given “constant attention.” Almost 100 Percent Completion Harper also reported on CenTel’s "service observe” programs for February and May of 1981 which found “a good grade of service on both local calling and on long distance or direct dialing calls.” As an example, he said that in February, 327 long distance direct dialing calls were observed “with only one failure which was a circuit busy.” In May, 325 calls were observed with only one failure, again a circuit busy. "Both months had a completion rate of 99.7 percent which is excellent," the service manager stated. As to capital improvements for this area, Harper noted that CenTel is planning to replace its toll circuit facility in 1982 and is studying for feasibility the establishment of a microwave route between Front Royal and Washington at an estimated cost of $340,500. The other proposal undergoing a feasibility studv calls for establishing an optical fiber cable route with a digital carrier system at an estimated cost of $250,000. Harper pointed out that circle calling and tel-plan have been established to meet the calling needs of subscribers and reported that Patrick Dolby of the SCC had inspected CenTel’s Washington office in 1981 for problems “and found the office to be in good condition.” In conclusion, he maintained that CenTel has demonstrated a positive commitment to customers in Rappahannock and is meeting area needs by providing quality telephone service. "All of this does not say that there will never be problems nor that service will always be available when requested. However, we are sensitive to these problems and take^ necessary action to correct any problems encountered.” TUESDAY’S RAIN kept most Rappahannock folks in, but it did not keep Lisa Burke from going about her business in Washington. Student Benefits Curtailed Social Security benefits to students 18-22 attending colleges and other postsecondary schools will be sharply curtailed under a recently enacted law, Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said. First, children who become eligible for Social Security benefits after July 1982 will not receive post-secondary school students benefits. Second, post-secondary school students who first become eligible for benefits in the period September 1981 -July 1982 will only receive benefits through July 1982 (one month for some students.) Finally, students currently receiving benefits (or child beneficiaries who begin their college or post-secondary education before May 1982) will receive limited students benefits. , Benefit rates for students who are eligible for con tinuing benefits will be frozen at the July 1981 level, Hundley said. Furthermore, these rates will be reduced 25 percent each year starting with August 1982. and benefits cannot be paid to students during May, June. July or August starting in + 1982. As a result, no further student benefits will be paid after April 1985. Beginning August 1982. elementary and secondary school students can receive benefits as under the old law, except that no benefits can be paid for months in school terms after a child reaches 19. Benefits to children who are not students will end at 18 as before. More information about student benefits and other changes in the law can be obtained at the Culpeper Social Security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500.

ASCS News By TOM TAYLOR The ballots have been mailed to all known eligible A SC voters in Rappahannock County. This agricultural election is held every year to elect committeemen for each of three agricultural communities in Rappahannock County. These committeemen attend the County Convention as delegates to elect the County Committee. Redistrict (Continued from Page 1) the House to override Dalton’s veto, but that he does not know if there will be enough votes in the Senate. Even if the veto is overridden, legislators said, the court might still reject the latest plan, because of its decrease in single-member districts, and because its total population deviation of 12.91 percent—excluding so-called “fallback amendments”—is above the 10 percent total deviation allowed from the ideal population. The House approved the plan, which had been recommended by its Privileges and Elections Committee, by a 61-33 vote, after rejecting a singlemember district plan last Monday. The Senate then gave its approval, 19-15.
