VI?.3I:!IA STAi- ~ » ANOTHER SNOWFALL added to this sweeping view from a mountain top. Brrrrrrrr! And The Cold Continues By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Ha|t|Mh«nn<K‘k >•■»*« Staff 1 ritrr Weather is the big story this far into the New Year. First it was ice and freezing rain here on New Year's Hve. then record setting cold compounded by strong winds the following week, and most recently, seven inches of snow that blanketed the countryside last Wednesday just before new lows were set over the weekend as another blast of arctic air swept down from Canada.-.. In Rappahannock, the sub-zero temperatures caused discomfort, inconvenience and added expense for repairs to broken pipes but the county escaped the tragedies left in the wake of frigid cold elsewhere in the nation. Many of the deaths have been caused by power outages that left homes without heat. In Rappahannock. however, both Potomac Electric Power System and Rappahannock Electric Cooperative report only scattered and short interruptions in power delivery. Other victims of cold across the nation have been motorists stranded in their cars by blizzard-like conditions. That threat was never posed here. Still, snow removal crews had plows rolling around the clock to keep roads passable. Major routes—211. 522 and 231—were dangerously slick through the dav and evening on Wednesday and Stffl icy in spots Thursday morning. Vehicles spin ffi; circles and a feu’ cars ended up in ditches but the police reported no serious accidents. While the primary routes stayed open, many back roads were impassable until Saturday’s warmer temperatures thawed the layer of accumulated ice left by the January 13 storm. Schools closed Wednesday and remained closed until Monday. Then on Tuesday, as freezing rain coated roads with another layer of ice. county public schools let youngsters out at 12:30. Plumber’s Nightmare "I've got no way of knowing for sure but I'd estimate the number of broken pipes in the county somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand," said Everett Estes, operator of a plumbing business. He reported that his crews worked almost day and night for four and a half days last week as temperatures plunged to minus five. There was a brief breathing spell on Saturday as thermometers climbed to between 36 and 40 degrees, c heat wave, for the New Year but Estes was back working around the clock as another record low of minus 15 was set in the county this past Sunday, January 17. "1 started yesterday morning at 9 a.m. and we’ve been going pretty steady ever since," Estes said Monday evening. "There are still busted pipes and some still frozen that we haven’t gotten to yet." The danger of chimney fires increases as the temperature decreases, condensing creosote on chimney walls at a faster than normal rate. Neighboring counties have been hit with a rash of chimney fires, according to fire and rescue reports carried in various local papers. But the cold spell that contributed to those blazes left homes here relatively unscathed by fire. A check of fire and rescue squads in the county Monday evening found that Flint Hill and Amissville had been called out for a chimney fire each since sub-zero weather hit ten days ago. In addition. rescue companies reported no calls for serious automobile accidents since roads turned treacherous last Wednesday. Doug Bywaters, maintenance supervisor at the highway department's facility in Washington, said snow removal crews w orked more or less around the clock from Tuesday evening until Saturday morning. "I left a crew oui all night on Tuesday so they were on the road when the snow started around 1 a.m..” he said. Noting that the snowfall (Continued on Page 4) Sewer Hearing Set For March B> DAPHNE HtTCHIAiSON H«|>|Mihann«M'k Vh» >l*f( % ritrr The Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority has scheduled a public hearing on Sperryville’s proposed sewage collection and treatment system for Monday. March 29. at 7:30 p.m. in the courthouse in Washington. "This is as close to a promise as we're going to get." maintained WSA secretary Bob Dennis at Monday night's meeting in reference to a letter from the State Water Control Board reconfirming Sperryville’s ranking as fifth out of 81 health hazards in the state. According to the letter, the village held on to its number five spot and 51,417,000 in Environmental Protection Agency funds through the SWCB's recent allocation hearings for fiscal year 1983. The letter also reported that the federal share for sewer construction will continue at the 75 percent level for FY ’83 for conventional systems and at the 85 percent level for innovative and alternative technology. (The package treatment plant nowproposed for Sperryville is classified as conventional while the collection system utilizing special septic tanks for the first level of treatment falls in the innovative and alternative category.) The SWCB's correspondence notes that plans for the sewer project must be redesigned from the mound system proposed earlier last year as least costly but turned down by both Water Control and Health Department officials. The new design will include basically the same collection system with a package treatment plant rather than a I Two Endorsed As Judges The Rappahannock Bar '» Association at a rcent meeting endorsed two local commonwealth's attorneys to fill newly created positions on the 20th judicial circuit. In a unanimous vote, the Rappahannock Bar supported Tom Horne, commonwealth's attorney from Loudoun County, for the third 20th district circuit court judgeship, according to bar president Maurice Biddle. The Judicial Council of Virginia authorized the new position following an in vestigation and report last October by the executive secretary of the Virginia Supreme Court. If approved by the General Assembly. Home will join senior judge Carlton Penn of Leesburg and Judge Shore Robertson of Warrenton on the 20th circuit bench. Also by unanimous vote, the Rappahannock Bar endorsed Charles Foley, commonwealth's attorney for Fauquier County as general district court judge, juvenile and domestic relations division. leaching mound. According to the letter, money from the SWCB may be used to pay for the redesign costs if Sperryville is designated as a hardship community. The Water Control Board recommended that the county's Water and Sewer Authority proceed to development estimates on redesign costs for submission to the SWCB for consideration of payment. At Monday's meeting, Dennis noted that engineers for the project are currently working on a grant amendment to cover redesign. Block Grant The SWCB's assurances that Sperryville is slated to get $1.417,(XX) from EPA for construction still leaves the proposed system with monthly user fees that most of the village’s residents can't afford. Engineer Bob Deimer of Buchart-Hom Associates has estimated the total cost of the system at $1,807,800. Of that total. 75 percent of the cost of the package treatment plant and 85 percent of the cost of the collection system will be covered by the EPA grant, leaving the local share at $450,340. If that share is borrowed from the Farmers Home Administration at current interest rates, amortization will jack up monthly user fees to approximately $35 per month. In order to bring the monthly biDs down to a range affordable by the citizens of Sperryville, the county supervisors, at the request of the WSA, have authorized application for funds available from the new community development block grant program. The Sperryville project could qualify for as much as $175,000. Only $264,475 is needed, however, to bring monthly user fees down to the $20 range that the WSA believes village residents can pay. As of yet, the Water and Sewer Authority members know very little about the block grant program. On Monday, Dennis reported that Deimer. the engineer working on the Sperryville project, plans to attend workshops on the blocks grants scheduled by the state sometime in late February. Regulations require that the public hearing on the proposed sewer system be advertised for 45 days With the date set for March 29, additional information on the blocks grants should be available by that time. Dennis said. At the very least, he added, the WSA will be able to give Sperryville residents some idea of what the possible range in users fees will be. “From the standpoint of funding politics, we should get that hearing under our belt.’' he said, maintaining that fulfillment of the public hearing requirement will give the WSA a better shot at securing the additional community development block grant funds. The Authority may have an answer on its block grant application bv late February. (Continued on Page 8) Contractor Says More Work Was Planned For School Roof By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vh« Staff VI riler When the Rappahannock school board authorized a 515,433 warrant in October, 1980. the final payment in 524,104 disbursed for roof repairs since the previous October, the board thought it had seen the last of leaky roofs at the elementary and high schools. "So you can understand why we were shocked and surprised when we found out that the whole bloody place is leaking again!" Robert Eastham informed Otis Williams, contractor for the roof work done to date at both schools. Otis attended last Tuesday's school board meeting after learning in a telephone conversation with chairman Beverly Massie that problems have reccured at the elementary school. “The board is displeased with the work and I can see why," he said. Otis added, however, that the loss of three ceiling tiles in the cafeteria, the primary trouble spot at the eleme; ; ry school, could have been prevented if he’d been called in for repairs as soon as the leak was discovered. In 1977, when he first began work at the schools. Otis said that he'd found the roofs at both schools in bad shape. Trying "to get the most from the budget dollar in terms of labor and materials,” he removed gravel from the elementary school roof and patched leaks over the gym, cafeteria and kitchen first, then did the same for the library and two wings. When that was completed, he said, he intended to give the spots an asphalt coating and then regravel “and it would have been finished.” The school board was told by the former superintendent that the roof project was completed with payment of the final bill, in October, 1980, according to Mrs. Massie. But the final step of Otis' work program—the application of the asphalt and regraveling—was not done, she noted. Next on Agenda "Next on the agenda here was to go back to the cafeteria" and other sections first repaired, put on the asphalt coating and regravel those sections, Otis said. He rrfMntained that he had a verbal \nderstanding with former! sd¥ferintendent Dr. Williaifi would The bills was a this n t r a c t or acknowledged, h^/ever. that he had not indic%ed on his hat there work jet to be com more erbal thing."

The short-term, revised calendar now calls for regular class days on Thursday and Friday.

Otis noted that he'd worked every year on the school roofs in Rappahannock since 1977. "That was the cycle." he said, adding that he was initially scheduled to go back over the three sections now leaking at the elementary school in 1981. Otis reported that he'd required the Madison County High School roof under a similar arrangement when that building sprung leaks in the gym and 12 classrooms. Estimates for a new roof ran from $120,000 to $135,000 "and I did it for a quarter of that," he said. "1 took the gravel off. patched it with fiber glass and cement, applied a tar coating and then regraveled...I finished it in the late summer of 1980 and they haven't had a drop of water come in since." According to Otis, the leaks in the eleementary school gym arise from an "expansion problem." In the past, he said, every time former principal Graham Spencer called. "I was up here. That can be verified. That's the reason why I'm upset...The cafeteria must have been leaking for some time and I wasn’t called." Mrs. Massie acknowledged that the board recently has solicited bids on roof repairs (Continued on Page 8) / Robb Takes Oath As Governor Oi Virginia 1 — Photo by Annalna Kraft GOVERNOR CHARLES S. ROBB made a forceful speech at the Inauguration ceremonies last Saturday in Richmond. s By SEAN ADAMS Arundel Nrw^paprA Writer RICHMOND-^Charles S. Robb was sworn in Saturday as Virginia’s 64th governor, and pledged in his inaugural address that he will work toward strengthening the state's commitment to education and economic development. Robb. a 42-year-old McLean attorney and son-inlaw of a former president, took the oath of office from Chief Justice Harry L. Carrico shortly after noon as thousands watched on a damp, chilly day outside the Capitol. > His 20-minute speech not only focused on Virginia affairs but was directed at a national audience as well. The founding fathers of Virginia, he said, were also the founders of America. "What they gave to Virginia, we still preserve as the best of the original American spirit," he said. "The Virginia which built the foundation of America, and led the young republic so ably and so long, is now ready to reclaim the leadership in national affairs she once had.” said Robb, the first Democrat inaugurated in Virginia since I %6. 'Virginia defined the original qualities of excellence in American public service; we must now be willing to establish and demonstrate, rather than follow and imitate. New standards of excellence—standards on which the future of state government, and its proper limits in a free society, may be modeled." he said. Robb also indicated, as he did during his gubernatorial campaign last year, that he will continue to "reserve the right to differ honestly and vigorously" with the Reagan administration's policies. He said the federal government has attempted "vastly different solutions" to the problems of federal deficits, inflation and a "lack of confidence in our economic system." He indicated he would tolerate reduced federal dollars as long as federal regulations and controls on the states are also reduced (Continued on Rage ,') S “Plan For Planning” School Improvements Given Board At last Tuesday's meeting of the Rappahannock school board, superintendent Robert Estabrook presented "a plan fp* planning" as the first step in a projected school improvement program. Noting the concern in the county over adequacy of the school plants, particularly the high school. Estabrook said that the board must have some over-all plan as to what data it needs before making a decision "to build or not to build" He reported that he had checked with other divisional superintendents and a Richmond architectural firm experienced in school construction to determine the broad categories of decision making areas typically looked at in considering space needs, describing the resulting graph as "a plan for planning.” Following standard practice, chairman Beverly Massie suggested that the board members react to Estabrooks' proposed procedure for considering capital outlay at its February 9 meeting but asked the superintendent if he wanted to elaborate on any particular point in his “plan for planning.” out Pointing out that vocational technical education has a line all its own on the graph. Estabrook noted that of all types of instruction engaged in by Rappahannock's public schools, that is "by far the most expensive." both in terms of equipment and renovation that would be required by any expansion. He suggested the board take a close look at its arrangement with Piedmont, the technical center that the county shares \wth Culpeper. Madison and “Is it satisffion^^Hand can it be projecded^QHftain so over a lone period of time?" Estabroolc-' asked. "I have no idea that Piedmont won't continue—not by any stretch of the imagination." he emphasized. But because of its high cost, the superintendent said, the board must be sure that vocational technical education is well taken care of far down the road. Program Audit As another part of the "plan for plannirg." the board should take a close look at how the existing high school program is housed (Continued on Page 8)

Gene Tucker Always Knows The Time By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff ^ ritcr “Hickory, dickory. dock, the mouse ran up the * clock. . If there's a mouse running up the clocks at Gene Tucker’s house, that mouse could lay undisputed claim to the title of marathon champion of the rodent world. Gene doesn’t have just two or three clocks or even a dozen timepieces in his mountain top home off the Fodderstack Road. Elderly grandfathers bong solemnly from the corners of his basement repair shop, anniversary clocks tick from their places on display shelves. French antiques chime from counters and ’’Regulators’’ tock down from the walls with world famous reliability. Every 60 minutes night and day. 30-some clocks sound the hour, creating a symphony of time that echoes through the house. Other old timers wait quietly for Gene’s attentions, their innards spread across worktables in the basement shop. The more critical cases, rescued from piles of dust and rubbish, are stored in boxes scattered across the room. Clock repair is a second career for Gene Tucker. But it’s become more than just a profession. “I daresay there are hundreds, even thousands, of beautiful antique clocks rusting away in the barns and attics of this county. When I'm caught up with all the jobs I have now. I'd almost be willing to work on them for nothing," Gene said. "I hate to see such fine pieces of machinery gathering dust!” Tucker has been a clock repairman for only three years. Before that, he worked for Chespeake and Potomac Telephone out of the utility’s Maryland office. ‘Tve been doing it seriously ever since 1 looked at my first retirement check!” he joked. ‘Tve always been interested in doing things with my hands, interested in mechanical things, and 1 needed to supplement my retirement income. I like to work on nice things so clocks seemed to be the answer." He investigated training programs offered by various outfits and settled on a correspondence course from the School of Clock Repair and Restoration. “It took about ten weeks—one of those work-atyour-own-speed deals. They sent you a clock movement to take apart and put back together again.” said Gene. Tucker was a top student. The repair school didn't give out standard report cards; however, a letter attests that he earned the highest grade ever awarded by the institution. But his new found expertise has begun to pay off only recently. When he first set up his home business, any money he earned was more than offset by the expenditures for specialized tools and movement pieces. The tools are tiny, as small as the instruments used by doctors in performing delicate heart surgery on an infant. The clock pieces are smaller still. Bushings for some of the finer French clocks are almost microscopic, so minute that eyes cross when attempts are made to focus on them without a magnifying glass.

From the biggest to the tiniest part, they all come out when Gene cleans a clock. He takes photographs of the innards hung on pegboards over his work table, photographs he shows the clock owners to demonstrate his labors. He generally charges $22.50 for a cleaning job, not a cost effective hourly rate when he's working with 50 to 100 miniature parts. "1 end up paying myself about $1.25 an hour," Gene laughed. "But I love doing it. That makes it worthwhile. I stay down here to 11 or 12 o'clock at night when I get a really good one to work on.” Sports fans can run down the batting averages of their favorite sluggers. Car nuts speak a language all their own as they rattle on about cams and rods, plugs and points. His new profession has turned Gene Tucker into a clock buff and like any other buff, he's got facts and figures, bits of trivia and special terms that only another clock fanatic can appreciate. He has stacks and stacks of reference books, reprints of old catalogs on clocks. Using the references, can come within two to five years of dating a clock. If he’s stumped on a rare occasion, he can send a photograph and description off to the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors and get not only the date the clock was made but who made it as well. At least half the clocks he’s working on now were produced between 1845 and 1860, America's golden age of timepiece manufacture, according to Gene. Up until that point, when the industrial revolution made it possible to mass produce clock movements, only the wealthy could afford clocks. Gene flipped through page after page in his reprinted catalogs, pointing out prices for handsome mantel and wall clocks that ranged from $3.25 to $4.50, depending on the cabinet style and whether an alarm was included. If in good condition, those same (clocks now sell for between $125 and $175. “The more you do to it, the more KapnOWHMBmm- FT* — Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson GENE TUCKER embarked on- a second career after his retirement from Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone. After combing the Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia countryside for several summers, he and his wife settled on Rappahannock. Their hillside home on Fodderstack Road was designed by their son, award-winning Warrenton architect Jay Tucker. parts you've had replaced the more you diminish its value as an antique." Tuckei noted. Besides repairing the clock works themselves. Gene alsc refinished and repairs the cabinets that house the movements. "I’ve beer cabinet making as a hobb> for years and years." he noted. His talents in woodworking have been put to use for more than just clock cabinets, however. Before the industrial revolution pulled the bottom out on the price ol metal movements, less expensive clocks had wheels and cogs of wood, a cheaper material to work in than metal. Gene pointed out that the wooden movements weren't stamped out but were hand carved, piece by piece, in the same fashion he goes about making repairs. NEW PIECES for this antique have to be meticulously carved from wood. In between the clocks in Tucker's basement shop sits a slot machine, an old onearmed bandit rescued from a Maryland motel after gambling became illegal in Charles County. But the slot machine isn’t really out o" place in a clock repair shop. Gene noted that the spinning of the reels of apples, lemons and cherries is controlled by a clock’ mechanism that releases a cam at three intervals, ticking off just a few seconds with each pull of the lever. Has his knowledge of clocks helped him hit the jackpot with any more frequency? "Not one bit.” he admitted, chuckling. And what about digital clocks and watches, the newest development in time keeping that will leave the next generation with no idea what the terms "clockwise" and "counter-clockwise” imply? Gene was less than enthusiastic in his endorsement but he did acknowledge that digitals keep extremely accurate time. He uses a digital watch himself to calibrate the clocks he's working on. checking daily to see if the old timers are running too fast or too slow. "Old clocks that were made in the U.S. were not as accurate as those made 100 years ago in Europe and or those made today in this country." Gene noted. "An American antique spring-driven eight-day clock will begin to lose time after about six days. Now that doesn't apply to the 'Regulators.' They were all weight driven. Some even had I pendulums of wood because it doesn't contract and expand like metal and won't interfere with the accuracy. ■Regulators' used to hang in every railway stations and in jewelry stores all around the country in the days before we had radios to announce the time," he said.

Council Considers Sketchy Agenda By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Washington Town Council convened on a bitter cold and snowy Wednesday night for a short (fifteen minute) meeting to discuss some minor town problems. Only four of the six council members were present: Dorothy Clater, Dorothy Hawkins. C. E. Giles, and Charlie Jenkins. Mayor Newbill Miller was also present. After the minutes from the previous meeting were accepted, Charlie Jenkins told Mayor Miller about a mysterious gift left the town by an anonymous benefactor. Jenkins said that he found two full bottles of chlorine bleach on the steps of the Aater treatment shed, but was reluctant to use them. “No, don’t use them,” Miller cautioned. ‘‘Don't use anything that you don’t buy yourself. Bleach is not that expensive.” Other council members agreed. The next item of business was an offer by Peter Kramer to donate the pews that had originally been in the church that now serves as the town hall back to the town. Kramer had been spearheading an effort of about six months to purchase the pews and return them. His letter stipulated that the pews eventually be returned to their original home in the church. “I’d like to have them back." Miller said. "But we don’t want to interfere in any way with the efforts of the fire and rescue auxiliary." (The auxiliary presently operates a thrift shop inside the old church for the benefit of the Fire and Rescue Department.) "We can put them back in and still have room for the used clothing operation," Councilwoman Dorothy Hawkins said. "We need those pews back there...that's supposed to be our town hall...we should actually meet there.” "...in the summer," Miller interjected. All present fVrs-\_ agreed to accept Kramer's written offer, and to let the auxiliary know that it would not infringe on their operation. Hawkins advised the council of two hazardous holes across fjom the property of Irwin Sisk. Mayor Miller agreed to look at the holes before ordering them filled. “They just may be drainage holes,” he said. Hawkins also brought up the matter of the Washington street signs. “They're pretty dilapidated." she said. The council agreed to look into their repair at the next meeting, when treasurer Brad Fisher could advise the council on money available for sign repairs. After agreeing to have someone shovel the snow off town sidewalks, the council adjourned. r { ' rnea DINNER Sat., Feb. 6 { S to 7 p.m. ) Sperryville Fire Hall : Good, home cooked food, t including homemade fbread. g enefjt Sperryville Ladies Auxiliary t Adults ; $4.50 i .Children! *2.50 | Building? •Paint •Lumber ' •Millwork 1 •Hardware Complete One Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By Pass Warrenton 347 1400 Ka WINTER SPECIALS Entire stock of Ladies DRESS COATS sizes up to 50 Big selection of Ladies ^ j < yy Dress and Casual SHOES NOW Vi PRICE Up to $50 Ladies WESTERN BOOTS now s24.77 Entire stock of MEN’S Winter COATS & JACKETS NOW 20% OFF Entire stock of Men’s QUILTED VESTS NOW 30% OFF Lerner's Dept.

Stant Weaver of Washington are surprised to hear his age. Trim, active and energetic at eighty-three, Mr. Weaver looks at least fifteen years younger. He claims that his good health is due to his diet and to the exercises that he has been doing for over sixty years. The Voice of Experience, an area Retired Senior Volunteer Program newsletter, recently published an article on the series of exercises Mr. Weaver does each day to overcome the stiffness of old age. Mr. Weaver started exercising daily as the result of a near fatal car accident when he was twenty-two. "I just couldn’t seem to get better, my back hurt so bad," he said. He’d been following doctor's orders, favoring his back and avoiding any strain on it. When he was forced to continue his work as a carpenter and painter his back hurt severely for a few days and then completely improved. "That's when I knew that using my back muscles kept them from getting so stiff,” he said. Weaver estimates that he's missed very few days of twists, stretches, bends and raises since then. "When 1 miss a day. now I really know it." Weaver told me. "1 get to feeling stiff later in the day." Weaver also thinks that his diet has contributed to his overall good health. "I have vegetables every day of the year. I eat very little meat - 1 ate like this even when 1 was butchering my own meat. 1 don't eat any meat fat or greese." Weaver was one of an extended family circle which at times numbered over twenty at home.

John. "With all those at home, we loved it,” Weaver said. His parents even took an extra child, whose parents had died, to raise. ‘‘Her grandmother was an old granny woman, a midwife,” Weaver said. "Now, as you can imagine, we saw a lot of that midwife. So when the child’s mother died, we just added her to our family." When his father died in the 'twenties, Weaver returned home from his work as a carpenter and painter in the city to help his mother raise the younger children and run the farm. In time, as the depression hit, he stayed in the City during the week and caught up with the farm work on week ends with the help of a hired hand. "I stayed there until I was satisfied the younger children were taken care of.” Weaver said. "Then, at thirty, it was time for me to get married.” Weaver met his wife, Grace, now deceased, at a dance. "We used to play music around at dances. I would play fiddle or guitar. 1 had another girlfriend at the time but when I met my wife I ^st made up my mind. At the end of the evening I told her, ’Now. if everything goes all right, we’ll be married b> the end of the year.’" That was the last mention of marriage for a couple of years, Weaver recalls. He was trying to save up enough money and it took longer than expected. But eventually, they did marry, move to his wife’s family farm. Scuffle Hill Farm in Harris Hollow, and raise two children, John and Shirley. This was in ’thirty-eight," Weaver said. "We raised apples, cattle, hay and corn." In the late fifties, the Weavers moved into town because of Mrs. Weaver’s failing health. Since her death fourteen years ago. Weaver has raised and frozen vegetables from his garden and done all his own cooking and cleaning. "I think I've gotten to be a pretty good cook," Weaver said. "But it’s hard to tell—it's only me who eats it." One specialty he jokes about is a pumpkin pie he made that he thought was lacking pizazz. "Pumpkin pies are only good when you have all your own butter and eggs and cream,” Weaver said To compensate for his lack of fresh dairy products. Weaver added some unusual touches of his own: applesauce. topped with chocolate syrup and some extra pats of butter on top. Charge Reduced In Plea Bargain By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff VI ritcr Judge John Alexander moved quickly through the general district court docket on Friday, settling three cases in less than a half hour as the result of plea bargains struck with the Commonwealth. On the recommendation of commonwalth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, felony charges of felonious assault against Robert Pendleton of Huntly were amended to assault and battery, a misdemeanor. In return. Pendleton pleaded quilty to the reduced charge and was sentenced to 12 months in jail. The term was suspended and Pendleton placed on two years supervised probation, contingent upon his general good behavior, payment of S100 fine plus costs and payment of victim Clarence D. Jones' medical bills of SI.691 on schedule to be set by the probation officer. Charges of rape lodged against James Phillips, Jr., of Amissville. were nol prossed on Baumgardner's recommendation. The commonwealth's attorney reported that his recommendation came after review ot the evidence and with the concurrence and request of the complaining witness. As the result of a plea bargain. Irvin Lewis Jenkins of Sperryville. entered a guilty plea to charges of destruction of private property. Judge Alexander concurred with the commonwealth’s recommendation that he be sentenced to 60 days in jail, the term suspended upon good behavior. Also as a condition of probation, Jenkins was ordered to stay off of the premises of the Sperryville Corner Store and its immediate vicinity until he is given permission to return by the court. In addition. Jenkins was instructed to make full restitution for the destroyed property valued at $37 and to pay court costs. His fine of $100 was suspended contingent upon his compliance with the other terms of his probation. Judge Alexander found probable cause to certify Donnie Ray Coates to the grand jury on charges of forgery and misrepresentation with intent to defraud. Coates, of Culpeper, is charged with passing a forged government check of $432 at Graham Hackley's general merchandise store in Amissville on or about July 5. 1981. In a companion case. Judge Alexander refused to certify Frances Faulkner to the grand jury on charges that she was an accessory before the fact in obtaining money by false pretenses. According to testimony given at the preliminary hearing, Faulkner formerly of Amissville and now residing in Culpeper, accompanied Coates to the store, introducing him to Hackley as her cousin. Charles Henry Atkins of West Virginia failed to show up for the hearing on charges against him of driving drunk and being an habitual offender. At the request of the commonwealth. Alexander rescheduled the hearing for January 19. Church Schedule AMISSVILLE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Schedule of Events January 24-30 Sunday: Sunday School - 9:45 a.m..

Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JANUARY 21,1982 Good Neighbors It’s time to put a good neighbor policy into practice in Rappahannock. The frigid winter blasts that have buffeted the county in the past few days fiave raised the specter of death from a condition called hypothermia. Hypothermia occurs when the body’s core temperature drops below normal. It strikes hikers who persist in tramping about the countryside when the thermometer falls well below freezing. It strikes youngsters who romp and play outdoors on wet winter days until their clothing is damp and then romp and play some more. But in particular, hypothermia attacks the elderly whose poor circulation and decreased activity make them ready victims. Senior citizens don’t have to venture outside to be struck by hypothermia. They can be inside inadequately insulated homes where the wind whistles through cracks around doors and windows and lowers temperatures so slowly that it’s not noticed until too late. The first symptoms of hypothermia are shivering and muscle weakness followed by mental confusion. This mental confusion can make the victims unable to take steps to warm themselves. On a recent Friday evening, Herbert Vernon Leake of Sperryville was pronounced dead on arrival at Culpeper Memorial Hospital. The cause of death was hypothermia. Reportedly, the 63-year-old sat in his car in the Culpeper Shopping Center for more than 24 hours until he perished from exposure. Neither the police nor people shopping and working in the area did anything to help Leake, apparently for fear of infringing on the man’s rights. To prevent a similar tragedy from happening here, we call upon the people of neighbors Rappahannock to be If an elderly person good lives arly when dip below eliminate ig drafts. available Welfare nearby, check on them regu the thermometer starts to freezing. Plastic is inexpensive; offer to tack some over windows to potentially life threatenin Make sure the elderly have an adequate heat source. Remember, there’s help from the Rappahannock Department which administers a fuel assistance program for the needy. If your senior citizen friend isn’t aware of that program, tell them about it or call the welfare department yourself in their behalf. If you see a car broken do the highway on a cold windy ni] and make sure the driver there, exposed to the elements. By being good winter neighbors, we may prevent a death. isri t n along ht, stop stuck veathe; iieedle: Plan Early When old man winter is beating down the door, it’s hard to think about what may happen on July 4. But now is the time for residents of Washington and citizens throughout Rappahannock to begin planning for the town’s annual Independence Day Fair. The Fourth of July celebrations centered around William Carrigan’s fireworks extravaganza offer Washington’s financially desperate fire and rescue company a wonderful opportunity to raise much needed revenue. It presents local civic clubs and organizations, crafts persons and business people with the same opportunity. With the right kind of attractions and early publicity, Washington’s old fashioned country fair can attract hordes of suburbanites from the greater Washington area. Give the city people unique entertainment, good food and the chance to watch craft demonstrations and to buy quality crafts and they ’ll flock to the country to spend their money. We re sure that Mr. Carrigan doesn’t wait until the middle of June to organize his fireworks display, the horse and hound shows, the games and the drill teams that have delighted audiences at Avon Hall Now is the time for the rest of the participants to get cracking as well. We suggest that the town council or the Washington Volunteer Fire Department initiate the formation of a committee that includes representatives from the council, the fire and rescue squad, the business community, local craftspersons, the county library, town churches and any other groups tf might want to be involved, such as Rappahannock Historical Society, /the Country Dancers, and 4-H cluosipnd the Lions Club. The committee could begin noj look for potters, weavers, blowers, blacksmiths and other and craftspeople willing to demonstrations on the Fourth. Rousing political oratory has M?en a traditional feature of old fasnioned Independence Day celebrations. The committee could start now issuing invitations to speak, looking first in our own backyard to such political stars as nationally syndicated columnist James J. Kilpatrick, former presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy and our elected representatives to the Virginia General Assembly and Congress. At earlier fairs, rope climbs, penny tosses and other games aimed at kids have been big attractions. Those could be revived and expanded. Drawing from the wealth of musical talent in the county, the committee could put together an all-star line-up of blues, blue grass, jazz, country and gospel. White elephant sales and auctions, box lunches, bull roasts and bake sales could round out the afternoon, culminating in the fireworks display at Avon Hall. It all takes planning and after the planning must come early publicity to ensure that people will mark Washington’s old fashioned Fourth of July Fair on their calendars. ' With the wolf of winter at the door, summer may seem a long way off but we urge volunteers to come forward now and get the Independence Day ball rolling. Redistricting Plan Passes, . Leaves County Split 3 Ways RICHMOND—The Senate overcame a last-minute filibuster in the waning hours of the 1981 General Assembly session last Wednesday morning and approved Gov. John N. Dalton's amendments to a fourth redistricting plan for the House of Delegates. In a 26-12 vote, the Senate approved the amendments after Sen. Frank W. Nolen ID-Augusta) engineered an 85-minute filibuster designed to delay^a vote on the amendments until noon, when he believed the 1981 legislature was supposed to adjourn and make way for the 1982 assembly to be sworn in. The compromise on the latest plan, which the House approved last Tuesday and which will now be sent to the U. S. Justice Department for review, was worked out last week between Republican Dalton and the Democratic leadership of the legislature, which has been struggling with House redistricting in 13 , special sessions, at a reported cost of more than SI million, since early in 1981. The plan would establish single-member districts in all areas of the *ate except the city of Norfolk, which would elect five delegates in a multimember district. According to the plan, some 22,000 residents in eastern Loudoun would be placed in a district with western Fairfax. The district would run east, between the Potomac River and Rt. 7, and stretch to Langley, at the Arlington County line. The remaining population in Loudoun would be placed in a district with approximately 17,000 citizens in Northern Fauquier, including the Rectortown. The Plains. Broad Run. Warrenton and Kettle Run precincts. The Leeds. Marshall. Waterloo and Remington precincts in western Fauquier would then become part of a district including Clarke. Rappahannock, and Warren counties and a northern section of Culpeper County. The southern Fauquier precincts of Catlett. Opal and Morrisville would form a single-member district with a portion of both Stafford County and the city of Fredericksburg.

We strongly endorse the careful, meticulous attention given to the legal requirements for the issuance of such permits by the BZA and the zoning administrator. Such unbiased and thorough application of the laws ensures fair treatment for the applicants and the general public alike. Special use permits and variances are to be approved only when their issuance will not do harm to the County’s comprehensive planning and when they will not change the nature of the area in which they are requested. These and other requirements must be strictly applied to cases coming before the BZA. or else the County’s basic planning and zoning ordinances become a shambles. All of Piedmont Virginia is subject to intense land use pressure. We need not look far to see what happens when local government loses control of the land use decision-making process. The Piedmont Environmental' Council—particularly those of us who live in Rappahannock County—saluate the entire Board of Zoning Appeals for their dedication to the fair application of the laws in their official duties. The County will be well served by that dedication. ROBERT T. DENNIS Executive Director FRANKLIN Bit REYNOLDS JR. Staff Attornev Clarification In last week’s edition of the Rappahannock, the hunting companion of an individual involved in an alleged trespass incident was identified as an official of the federal landbank. The hunting companion. A1 Henry, asked that the News clarify that he was pot acting in an official capacity in any way. —Dismissal— To the editor: Supplementing your report of the last meeting of the Board of Supervisors in which the landowners complained about the hunting problem, I thought your readers might be interested in the followup of my situation. The case against the trespasser, caught with a loaded rifle on my land with a dead deer at his feet, was dismissed. Why was it dismissed? It is the general procedure that the complaining witness sets the time for the hearing in his warrant. No law enforcement officer being willing to do anything in my case. I was forced to obtain this warrant. While doing this, the game warden permits the trespasser to depart with the deer, but then changes the date of the hearing so that when the case is called neither I nor my witness is present. What makes the situation even more farcical is the fact that the game warden specifically refused to make himself part of the case and was a witness to none of the charges. Slob Hunters To the editor: I would like to commend you for the interest you have taken in resolving the problem of slob hunters in our county. It is a frightening situation that must be controlled before some innocent people get hurt. I was involved in an incident with road hunters on my property in the county on December 26. It resulted in a near violent confrontation between my neighbors and the road hunters over a deer they had just shot on my property from their car. One of my neighbors, who was unarmed, actually chased one of the illegal hunters, who was armed, through my woods in an attempt to catch him. The hunters then had the audacity to come back to retrieve their deer when they thought we had left the area. This situation goes on throughout the hunting season, but it is worse during doe days, especially when the season has closed in Page County which is the adjoining county. Something has to be done, and I only hope that the officials who can change the laws come to their senses before law abiding citizens are driven from their land. NAME WITHHELD BY REQUEST Don't pa with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. —Mark Twain He has no connection with the case, yet through his efforts, justice is thwarted. The question raised at the meeting by one of the landowners as to what one does appears to be unanswerable in this county. If you accost the lawbreaker unarmed, you run the risk of being assaulted and threatened. If you possess a weapon, then in this County apparently. you are the lawbreaker. If you leave to obtain a warrant, the lawbreaker departs with his loot. If you do obtain a warrant, Ms. Saltonstall's experience and mine indicate what will happen. It appears that the only safe answer is to stay opt of the county. JOHN J. DWYER Flint Hill (Editor's note: A hearing on the trespass charges broi ght by Dwyer was originally for January 12.

Surplus Cheese To Be Available Virginia has entered an agreement with the U. S. Department of Agriculture that will make surplus processed cheese available o local welfare offices and regional FOODBANKS for distribution to needy individuals early in February. Under the agreement local welfare departments may elect to make cheese available to people enrolled in the food stamp program. Nancy Reeve. acting director of the Rappahannock welfare department, reported on Friday that her department has elected to participate in the program. She noted that welfare personnel will have the obligation of picking up the cheese and arranging for its proper distribution. Beyond that. Reeve said, she has no further information at this time but will make announcements as soon as she receives notice. FOODBANKS do not distribute to individuals but to non-profit tax exempt member agencies who issue emergency food boxes to individuals or serve congregate meals to needy people. In order for these FOODBANKS to be part of the program they must sign an agreement with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This cheese is for distribution in the emergency food boxes. There are five FOODBANKS serving Virginia. They are in Washington. DC. Rick Stack. (202) 526-5344; Richmond. Judy Armstrong, (804) 359-1899; Virginia Beach. Cindy Creede. (804) 499-8082; Roanoke. Phyllis Mardian. (703) 345-6781; Staunton. Phil Grasty, (703) 886-3003. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has been administering the donated foods programs for a number of years. Commissioner Mason Carbaugh noted that the distribution of USDA donated foods to needy individuals has not been made for seven years although food has been distributed to schools and institutions for use in their donated food programs. The Donated Food Program is the system by which Virginia and other states cooperate with USDA in making use of foods acquired by USDA under various price support and surplus removal authority. The Price Support and Surplus Removal authorities are designed to provide stability to agricultural markets ensuring reasonable prices to both producers and consumers. Such donated foods received by Virginia amounted to more than $26 million in Fiscal Year 79-80 and $27 million in Fiscal Year 80-81. The Little Fox

Making stock is not as complicated or mysterious as cookbooks imply. If you cook a turkey and skim the juices left over from making gravy, that’s stock. Or if you boil leftover turkey or chicken bones for several hours with a carrot or in. onion thrown in, that's stock. rve pork neckkbones, beef pork or beef them a long the fat off. Or if you se: bones or bae marrow bones tails and^ boil time and skirp that's stock. If you're haven't butche1 or are in a big chicken brot substitute fo stock and is not Canned beef too salty for som An excellent! stock may be made by saving ends and pieces of vegetables, washing them, boiling them with onions and earlic. and straining. Here are some winter soup recipes from Rappahannock cooks: Toni Updike of Washington uses a recipe for potato soup with an interesting difference: canned clams are added when the soup is almost done.

Many people perform a type of "home surgery" on themselves for a variety of reasons. They feel that they would prefer to do it themselves as the doctor hurts more. They feel that the medical costs today are too high. They don't need a doctor when they can do it themselves. There are many dangers in this type of thinking. Most important of all patients cannot diagnose their illnesses or the adequacy of their circulation, two factors which are very important in healing Secondly, they cannot repair an ingrown nail or other problem as adequately or correctly as a physician.

PE heating equipment specialist Merle Guyton noted that some of the equipment in central electric heating systems should not be allowed to re-start following a power failure until internal protective parts have had time to stabilize temperatures. Guyton urged owners of heat pumps and electric furnaces to adhere to the following guidelines: HEAT PUMP CUSTOMERS When an outage occurs, turn off heating system at the thermostat. After the power has been restored, wait 15 minutes, then return the thermostat to its normal setting. If the power was off for more than one hour, the thermostat should be operated on the "emergency heat” position at the desired temperature for at least 12 hours before switching thermostat back to normal operation. ELECTRIC FURNACE CUSTOMERS - When an outage occurs, turn the heating system off at the thermostat. After power is restored, wait 15 minutes, then return thermostat to normal heat setting. Guyton stressed that the above procedures during power outages will serve to protect the owner’s heating equipment and also help assure that excessive immediate demands on PE facilities do not cause another outage. —Menus— RCES January 25- 29 Monday Hamburger on bun, potato rounds, apple pixie pie. milk.

Sperryville Sewer (Continued from Page 1) agreed Donald Gore. "We should be ready." WSA chairman Carson Johnson added that early spring would be the best time to hold the hearing. "People get clean-up minded then.. It's important that we have the right attitude going into this." At the suggestion of member James Leake, the WSA agreed to send copies of a resolution from last month's meeting to the zoning administrator and health department. The resolution came in response to a request from Arthur Smith, owner of the old Rappahannock cooperative ’ in Sperryville. Smith wanted approval to use the co-op's septic field for a building on the property that was not previously connected. He had approached the health department for permission but was directed by sanitarian Jack Lockhart to the Water and Sewer construct no more than two bathrooms in the dwelling and to close two of the four bathrooms in the old co-op. The WSA also noted that the connection to the septic field would be allowed only until (1) Sperryville's waste water treatment system is installed or (2) there is evidence of contamination of nearby wells. Bill Fletcher, attorney for Smith, told the WSA last month that the seDtic field constructed at the old co-op in 1T18 was designed—and approved by the health department—to serve a daily population of 50-60 people, the approximate number of employees of the apple packing cooperative. Fletcher also reported that the health department would approve the Septic hook-up sought by Smith if the arrangement was first approved by the WSA. Also at Monday's meeting, chairman Carson Johnson said he'd relayed a request to commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner for a written outline of the authority's powers. Baumgardner has agreed to make copies of the relevant paragraphs in the Virginia Code for each WSA member. Johnson added, k Kedisurictinfir (Continued from Page 1) The 1981 assembly has been working under a courtordered Fe j. 1 deadline to develop a legal redistricting plan. A three-judge federal panel here tejected a plan the legislature approved in April 1981. declaring that plan to be unconst tutional because it violated guidelines for equal representation. / Ithough the legislature api "d a plan last week, the redistrioting battle may not be over As Sen. Ray L. Garland (R-Roanoke) told the Senate last week, it would be a "rash man” who would try to predict whether the justice department will approve the plan. In a Senate speech that drew laughter from legislators and observers. Garland cited the "ancient aphorism” that "a rolling stone gathers no moss." House Majority Leader Thomas W. Moss Jr. (D Norlllk) had lobbied behind the s«nes last week to gain a multi-%ember district for his home cw of Norfolk.

Box 2118 Richmond, Virginia 23216 Potomac Edison Part of the Allegheny Power System School Roofs Leaking (Continued from Paee 1) for the elementary school from several different contractors without asking Otis to submit a bid because the board was upset over the continuing leaks. In view of his explanation, however, she requested that he give the board an estimate on repairs as well as what type of maintenance schedule should be followed. Unemployment Claims The superintendent reported that the county supervisors will clarify at their next meeting exactly how unemployment claims from former school board employees should be handled. Several months ago. the supervisors opted to have reimbursement for unemployment claims from ex school employees come from the school board's budget rather than from the general fund as had been the practice. Initially, the school board was under the impression that this new arrangement would not be implemented until next year and that reimbursement would continue to come from the general fund for the balance of this fiscal year. Estabrook noted. He reported, however, that clerk Diane Bruce had informed him that the school board would be expected to reimburse the state for unemployment claims from its former employees this fiscal year unless the board formally notified the supervisors that the school budget could not absorb the expense. He indicated that the supervisors will state their position on the reimbursement issue in writing at their February meeting. In response to a question from Nancy Reeve, Estabrook said that once the school board is responsible for paying the unemployment claims, it can choose to continue the arrangement followed by the supervisors whereby claims are paid by the state and then reimbursed in total by the employer or it can make regular monthly contributions (based on number of employees) to a fund from which unemployment claims are then paid by the state. The superintendent said he will calculate the estimated cost of each option and make a recommendation to the board. He added that under the reimbursable plan, unemployment payments for former school employees have cot the county an average of $2,500 a year for the past three years. No matter which option is picked, the board members agreed that they needed information on each claim filed before payment of unemployment insurance is authorized by the Virginia Employment Commission in order to have time to lodge an appeal if they feel the claim isn't justified. In response to an earlier directive from the school board to have a system for employee evaluation ready for consideration in June. Estabrook reported that he is setting up teacher committees to work with him and assistant superintendent Gerald Lysik in determining the forms which will be used -“Plan For Planning”• .Continued from Page 1) and the efficiency of that housing. Estabrook said, noting this was a particular concern of board member Robert Eastham. Eastham characterized that efficiency evaluation as a program audit. "I don't see how we can even plan to plan without considerating who is teaching what to whom, where, when and how many...It would be going down an alley blinded on both sides." He insisted that he needed such a program audit before he could vote intelligently—either up or down—on any construction program, adding that there currently is space at both schools unused for portions of the day. "My vote would go with the data-—whichever way it comes out." Eastham said. Estabrook replied that he intended a two-step program audit, one section for the vocational program and a separate section for the academic program. According to Estabrooks' graph, the entire planning project, from developing an academic program through vocational-technical impact and physical improvements to final report presented to the school board, can be accomplished in 14 weeks. He emphasized, however, that the time* frame was a projection only and could stretch out further. At its next meeting, the school board will either accept, modify or reject Estabrook's "plan for planning with a starting date on the project—if it is accepted—to be set at the same session, according to chairman Massie. "This is the first time since I’ve been on this board that we’ve had any...sensible approach (to capital outlay).’’ Eastham concluded, emphasizing that his remarks in no way prejudged the issue of whether to build or not to build. "We’re starting to get the data together on which we can base a rational decision.” he said. Robb Takes Oath (Continued from Page 1) Also sworn in with Robb were Democrats Richard J. Davis of Portsmouth as lieutenant governor, and Gerald L. Baliles of Richmond as attorney general. Hundreds of special guests and members of the General Assembly viewed the ceremony from seats along the Capitol, while thousands of citizens stood on the Capitol lawn to view the ceremony. Although it was a serious occasion filled with history, it was not without its humorous moments. When Robb stepped up to the podium to take the oath of office, he raised his right hand and prepared to put his left on the BibleCarrico, however, asked him to raise his right hand and place his right hand on the Bible. "We have to practice this more," the new governor said to Carrico, and the audience applauded. Robb also said he would VDACS Offers Wood Directory Now that winter has made its official debut, keeping the home fires burning is a major concern. The those who need a regular supply of firewood for their woodstove or fireplace, the Virginia Directory of Firewood Sources has just been updated by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The brochure is a cooperative effort by VDACS and the Virginia Division of Forestry. The Firewood Directory lists by county approximately 180 sellers of firewood statewide. Included are their business hours, types and sizes of wood available and the method of purchase: precut, "u-cut'' or delivered wood. There is also a section on wood facts and terms, as well as a chart on heating values of various woods. Copies of the Firewood Directory may be obtained by writing VDACS, -Division of Markets. P. O.

William Henry Harrison. who reportedly spoke for several hours during his presidential inauguration "and died of pneumonia 30 days later." As Robb, a former Marine Corps officer and the son-inlaw of former President Lyndon B. Johnson, spoke, his mother-in-law Lady Bird Johnson watched with approval. Lynda Bird Robb. Robb's wife, stood by his side as he took the oath. Robb, whose speech was interrupted by applause eight times, drew the most approval for his commitment to public education. "The most difficult phase of our journey, and the greatest and most important of our tasks, is the requirement to strengthen the means for the education of our people." he said. "The hour has come, the urgency is acute, for us to dq whatever we must to reclaim for Virginia national preeminence in education. We must once again be looked upon as leaders rather than as followers in the creation of standards of excellence, achievement, progress, and substance." Robb added. He also made a commitment to see that good teachers receive the "esteem and livelihood they merit." In the area of economic development. he said Virginia "must have permanent. predictable, and consistent growth if we are to have a secure future because to stand still is to retreat." The state, he added, has "lost its pre-eminent position in the recruitment of new industry and we must strike at this problem forcefully and quickly."

Estabrook said he will develop a “differentiated system” broken down into categories for administrators, different ranks of teachers (classroom, library, guidance) and non-professional employees, including aides, bus drivers, cafeteria workers and custodians. He emphasized that the system will have follow-up procedures aimed at remedying any problem areas uncovered in the evaluation. In a piece of good news, Estabrook informed the school board that an inspection of the high school shop by OSHA representatives last week found it in complete compliance with all safety regulations. Two Closed Sessions Early in the meeting, the board retired to executive session for I'/j hours to consider a 20th District Court case. Upon return to open session, chairman Massie reported only that "the superintendent needs additional information from the state before the board makes a final decision." Following a second executive session lasting from 11:05 p.m. to 1:40 a m.. Mrs. Massie reported that the board had turned down an enrollment request on the grounds that the individual wasn't a resident of the county and that the superintendent will discuss pending litigation with the commonwealth's attorney. Also in the closed meetinp. the board received an update on two special education students and the finalization on bills presented for the bus shop garage condemnation suit, according to the chairman. In addition, she said, the board also decided to continue its search for a certified business teacher. The only vote taken after the closed meeting came in unanimous approval for hiring an unidentified parttime cafeteria worker for the high school. In other business taken up at the January 12 meeting. Nancy Reeve was elected vice-chairman for the board and an economics text book recommended by the high school teachers and administration was adopted. 4 counm now/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes •Cabins • Additions • Remodeling Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 703»675»3897 Va.
