Supervisors Endorse Equal Season, End Hunting With Dogs By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock INcws Staff Writer By majority vote on Monday, the Rappahannock supervisors endorsed a resolution asking the Virginia Game Commission to prohibit running deer with dogs in Rappahannock County and to institute a hunting season of equal length throughout the state. “If we could stop the running of deer with dogs, why cut the season?” asked supervisor Hubert Gilkey. “If one is turned down, the other will help (eliminate -hunting abuses) but to clear up the problem completely, we need both," maintained Capt. William Keim, member of the special ^committee appointed by the Supervisors to tackle the \roblem of slob hunters. - ["They’re not asking for a slorter season here. They're dng for an equal season," iervisor H. B. Wood pilnted out. "Just so we dofc’t have 10,000 people trv^ig to get in here.” 'm an avid deer huntdon’t want to be :ed to 12 days (the nt length of the season of the Blue Ridge ntains)," said Gilkey, lg that surrounding cou ties—except Warren and Pag —have the same season as ! ippahannock. 1 e acknowledged, ROBIN COOPER, Rappahannock’s DAR Good Citizen Robin Cooper Is DAR’s Good Citizen Robin. Cooper has beer selected as Rappahannock County High School’s recipient of the good citizenship award presented by the Culpeper Minute Mer Chapter of the National Daughters of the American Revolution. Robin, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ludwick of Castleton, received her award at a DAR meeting held January 12 in Culpeper. A senior at RCHS, Robin is active in the Student Council Association, girls basketball and varsity club and serves as treasurer of the senior class. She received preliminary acceptance at Virginia Tech last week where she plans to major in the fields of health and nutrition. Robin was one of three students nominated by her classmates for the DAR award on the basis of leadership, scholarship and patriotism. The final selection was made by the school faculty. Along with award winners from Madison, Culpeper and Fauquier, Robin gave a speech on patriotism at the DAR meeting. The speech, her community involvement and a paper she wrote on being an American citizen will be evaluated along with those of the other nominees from this DAR district in selecting a candidate to advance on to state competition for the DAR’s good citizenship award. however, that Culpeper has a shorter doe season. “We’re asking only that the season be equalized,” Keim emphasized. “We’re not saying it should be two weeks or three weeks...” "I don’t think the game commission’s going to lengthen the season on the other side of the mountains,” Gilkey countered, maintaining that if the commission should take action to equalize the hunting seasons east and west of the Blue Ridge (now 12 days west and 43 east), it would shorten the season here. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin said he'd spoken with sportsmen and landowners in his district and found both in support of a shorter equal season and prohibition against running deer with dogs. “Hunters don’t like outsiders coming in here and getting a deer before they get a chance to shoot one,’’ he added. Stressing his opposition only to equalization of the deer season, Gilkey voted against Wood's motion to endorse both changes in game regulations proposed by the special committee on hunting abuses. Keim told the supervisors that he will attend the game commission meeting in support of the county’s requests. Law And Order Problem "This is a problem of law and order in Rappahannock County." added Nelson Lane. He told the supervisors that he'd stopped many, many people cruising the back roads around his Woodville farm during hunting season and found the drivers “thoroughly intoxicated before sunrise” with “pills and all kinds of stuff on the dashboards.” “It’s more than just the game department’s responsibility...If you’ve got good law and order, a good reputation for law and order, then you won't have problems,” Lane said. "We have three deputies and only one on duty per day.” he continued. “To hell with that! Put all three of them on the road," Lane said, adding that he often worked eight hours per day, (Continued on Page 10) Controlled Growth Supported By Board By unanimous vole on Monday, the Rappahannock supervisors endorsed enabling legislation currently under consideration in the General Assembly that would give counties authority to phase and locate develop ment in accord with ability to provide services. Planning commissioner Newbill Miller told the supervisors that the proposal, currently in subcommittee, would “strengthen our ordinances as they are now written." Proposed by Loudoun County, the legislation would give "any local governing body having the preservation of farmland as one of the purposes of its comprehensive plan, the implementation of measures which allow nonfarrn uses to occur at a rate and in locations which conform to the locality's comprehensive plan and capital improvements program,” provided both ‘‘contain reasonable provisions for tVie future extension or improvement of roads, streets, utilities, water and sewer lines, and other appropriate public facilities to those areas of the locality designated for future development.” The supervisors agreed to inform Delegate Raymond R. “Andy" Guest of their endorsement of the enabling legislation and designated Miller as their representative to appear in support of the bill at later public hearings. In response to criticism voiced at last month's board meeting, dog warden Jack Bruce gave the supervisors details on Monday of his work to date this year in controlling stray dogs. Chasing Livestock Bruce said he'd received a report from Junior Eastham on August 20 of a pack of German shepherd dogs chasing livestock in the Forest Grove area. Checking with neighbors, Bruce said he determined that the animals belonged to Raymond Slaughter and so visited Slaughter’s house on August 24 and 31 and September 8 and 28 but found no one at home. Returning the night of September 28, Bruce talked with Slaughter, trying to persuade him to give up three adult shepherds and two puppies. "I begged him but he wouldn’t agree. I said he would have to vaccinate and tag the dogs. He agreed to do that and to put them up and keep them up,” Bruce said. The dog warden said he returned August 29 and found all the dogs running loose and again went back October 15 but no one was home. “Don’t you have the authority to pick up a dog with no tag?” asked supervisor chairman J. R. Latham. “Some say yes and some say no,” Bruce replied. He continued that he’d visited Slaughter's again on December 6 after receiving a complaint from Helen Dixon that she’d lost a calf to dogs. He noted, however, that the calf was already buried when he went to check the kill. On December 6. Bruce said, he issued two summons to Slaughter, reminded the man of all the breaks he’d given him in the past and offered to tear up the summons if Slaughter agreed to give up the dogs before the court date. The morning the case was to be heard, Bruce reported, he received a telephone call from Slaughter's daughter who told him “Daddy said come and get the dogs.” When Bruce arrived, Slaughter was willing to turn over only the two females. The warden said he insisted on all three. Reluctantly and with tears rolling down his cheeks. Slaughter put the male shepherd in the back of the truck, according to the warden. “1 took them home and put all three down,” Bruce reported, adding that the two little puppies had disappeared from Slaughter’s residence by the time of his final visit. "What do you want us to do?” asked Latham. "You’ve done your job. Bruce recalled that Mrs. Dixon had charged him with failure to fulfill his responsibilities at last month’s board meeting, adding that on two previous occasions, he'd picked up strays at Dixon’s at her request. He also reported that the woman had failed to purchase tags for her own dog in 1981. (Continued on Page 10) Parent Conference Mid-term parentteacher conferences at Rappahannock's elementary and high schools originally set for February 4 have been rescheduled for Wednesday, February 10. Regular classes will be held through 2 p.m. followed by parent-teacher meetings from 2-6 p.m. and from 7-8:30 p.m. Everybody Talks About It \ A w m*^vr>rT, _ — nappanannocK news rftotn > Latham ALMOST EVERY KIND OF WEATHER has been experienced in this area in the past month—fog, snow, hail, sleet, rain, wind and thunder, even a little sunshine. After Sunday night’s rain, the high water left these chunks of ice on the river banks at Rock Mills. Much of it has melted since, but as of Wednesday morning these slabs remained. Tuesday and Wednesday’s rain elevated the water level but not enough to endanger travel in the area by noon Wednesday, though Rush River was rushing. “Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it.”—C.D. Warner Four Dispatchers Needed To Operate County System By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Mews Staff Writer Representatives from the Rappahannock board of supervisors, sheriff's department and fire and rescue units will try once again this year to persuade the state compensation board to pay staffing expenses of a county dispatch center. Gene Leggett, from the county’s fire and rescue association, told the supervisors that equipment costs will be covered by the $11,600 matching grant awarded by the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance Fund plus $5,000 committed by the board. I he really big problem is personnel,” he said. “There’s been some progress or at least clarification in that area.” Currently, five of the county’s fire and rescue units and the sheriffs department are dispatched by the Culpeper sheriffs department. The Culpeper Fire Department which owns the communications equipment announced last March that the free dispatch provided to emergency service units in Amissville, Washington, Sperryville, Flint Hill and Castleton would cease, due to a system overloaded by the average 2.1 calls per day from Rappahannock. Initially, the cut-off deadline was July 1 bi/t an extension was granted as long as Rappahannock continued to seek ways to set up and staff its own dispatch system. Leggett told the supervisors on Monday that a dispatch center must be staffed 24 hours per day, seven days a week by qualified personnel in order to get the SM.600 grant for equipment. “That rules out any system based primarily on volunteers. The fire departments feel that the requirements for manning are more than they can handle so we’re talking about paid dispatchers, maybe supplemented by a volunteer,” Leggett said. Police Dispatch He reported that sheriff W. A. Buntin has agreed to ask the state compensation board once again to fund dispatch positions since he feels there are advantages to having his department dispatched locally rather than by Culpeper. Leggett added that he hasn’t been able to locate another county in the state without its own dispatch system. "The compensation board might be hard pressed to justify treating Rappahannock County different from the rest of the state,” he said. The reaction of the compensation board needs to be determined before plans for the dispatch center go any further, according to Sheriff Buntin. In order to be funded by the board, the communications system must be staffed 24 hours per day, seven days per week, he said. “Last year, the compensation board said there was no way they could justify three or four dispatchers for three deputies and a sheriff. They're not required to furnish dispatch for fire and rescue,” Buntin noted. (Although a dispatch system can be used for fire and rescue, that is a secondary function under the compensation board which is responsible for law enforcement salaries. In evaluation, Rappahannock's request will be judged on the basis of its feasibility for the sheriff s department.) Buntin said he anticipated that the compensation board will suggest that a request for dispatch positions be included in his budget for the coming fiscal year. “I don’t think they have any money now,” he said. “I’m not willing to be in charge of a dispatch service unless we are guaranteed dispatchers," the sheriff emphasized. “Volunteers won’t do.” He estimated that a minimum of four full-time positions will be required with the jailer available to substitute occasionally. Jailer Can't Do Asked why the jailer couldn't serve as dispatcher while he is working. Buntin described the correctional officer's job as the most undesirable in the sheriffs department since it is the closest to a seven day a week, 24 hour a day position in the county. ''It's ridiculous to expect any more from him than just to be there,” the sheriff maintained, noting, however, that the jailer already assists with prisoner transport and with arrests when the presence of more than one deputy is required. ‘‘We can’t ask him to do any more." “The key point is for us to make a strong representation to the compensation board,” Leggett told the supervisors. “I think we have a chance to get some (dispatch) slots —whether we get two or four, we won’t know until we try." Buntin sajd that he can’t see any benefit for his department in having a local dispatch center as long as Culpeper continues to dispatch the sheriffs deputies at no cost. “But if they decided to quit tomorrow, we would have a problem," he added, noting that with the grant funds available for com(Continued on Page 10)

No Dogs, Equal Season Changes In Game Laws Proposed By Committee By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Mews Staff Writer Landowners and hunters filled the court house last Wednesday to hear recommendations from a special committee on solutions to the county's problem with slob hunters. The committee—Capt. William Keim, Homer Henry, Joyce DeBergh and J. J. Dwyer—proposed that the supervisors pass a resolution asking the Virginia Game Commission to (1) prohibit killing deer driven by dogs and (2) set a statewide deer season of equal duration to replace the current 12 days west of the Blue Ridge and 43 days east cf the mountains. The group also suggested that the supervisors pass a local ordinance which would make it illegal to hunt within 100 feet of a public road or to discharge a firearm across or towards a public road. Reading from a prepared • — statement, Capt. Keim began the committee’s presentation by explaining what it is against: any form of gun control; organizations or regulations that would eliminate hunting as a sport; authorities charged with the maintenance of law and order and officers charged with law enforcement who do not do their jobs; slob hunters who assault, curse of defy the rights of a landowner, and a game commission which avoids major issues and does not promote sportsmanlike conduct of hunters by regulation or otherwise. The committee’s aim is to address the single problem of abuse of landowners and their rights in Rappahannock, according to Keim. The problem arises chiefly from release of dogs to chase deer on posted property as slob hunters surround the property on public or private DO YOU OR DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE POSSIBLE PROBLEMS IN THESE [ AREAS?

Rappahannock Only? Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest, who drove up from Richmond with game commission Major Gerald Simmons for the meeting, asked Keim if the committee would be content to have Rappahannock's hunting season shortened to the 12 days allowed west of the Blue Ridge. “Yes...The single issue here is Rappahannock,” Keim replied after getting a show of hands from the 70some people crowded into the court room. Elimination of running deer with dogs will go far towards solving the roa<j hunting problem, Keim continued. Members of his committee checked with\ people in their districts, h; said, and found Rappahannock residents in four out of five magisterial districts against running deer with dogs. (Piedmont District did not have a representative on the committee.) “Where 1 come from, anyone who shoots a deer driven by dogs is a bum!” Keim said, noting that it is prohibited in all northern states. If running deer with dogs is prohibited, a member of the audience asked, will the deer harvest be large enoughl “It is in other states,” Keim replied. Major Simmons added that the game commission biologist reported a prohibition against running deer with dogs would not affect the deer harvest. Keim noted that law currently makes it illegal to discharge a firearm within 300 feet of the road. "It should be more specific,” he said, suggesting the law be changed to prohibit (1) hunting within a specified number of feet from the road and (2) the discharge of a firearm towards or across the road. He also proposed that game wardens be given general police powers, enabling them to make arrests for violations of that law. (The statute that makes it illegal to discharge a firearm within 300 feet of the road is contained in the criminal law section of the Virginia Code and not in the hunting law section. Therefore, only sheriffs department personnel and state police are empowered to make arrests for violations.) Enforcement First “We’re falling into the old American trap,” interjected committee member J. J. Dwyer. “If you have a problem, write a few more laws. That's putting the cart before the horse!” he maintained. Since his appointment to the special committee, Dwyer said, he’s been deluged with calls from county residents complaining of two specific hunting abuses: road hunting and trespassers. Virginia already has laws on the books to deal with both—three specific trespass statutes and four on road hunting, according to Dwyer. The code also specifically delegates authority to enforce those laws, he said. “We hear excuses why it’s not being carried out. The game warden says htf>has no authority and the sheriff says he doesn’t have enough manpower—that it’s up to a citizen to file a complaint.” Dwyer questioned whether it’s true—as the game warden asserts—that the warden can’t make an arrest unless he sees a violator actually in the act of shooting game on posted, private property. He maintained that anyone attempting to hunt meets the definition of hunting as set by the Virginia Code. In a recent Virginia Supreme Court case, he continued, the justices found there was probable cause to arrest when a game warden saw a pick-up truck parked af night in a posted field with a gun in the back. I “The sheriff says he cfoesn’t have enough manbower. The Virginia Code stays that if he doesn’t enforce the law, the commonwealth’s Attorney can bring a petition in circuit court to remove /him...It provides for criminal / penalties if he doesn't enforce / the law,” Dwyer said. ' He also noted that the Code provides for (1) the confiscation of the weapons of any wrong-doer (2) appointment of special game wardens. (3) special conservators of the peace appointed by the circuit court and (4) the appointment of deputy sheriffs. “Those are the tools we have to work with. The excuses we are hearing—that there is no authority—the law refutes that. We have authority." Valid Claim? If the sheriff s claim that he lacks sufficient manpower is valid, “then give him more manpower. If it’s not valid, if he has the manpower but it is not being utilized properly, then the sheriff should be removed. He’s being paid 520,000 to enforce the law. It’s not his prerogative to say ‘You file a complaint. My deputies are not going to do it,’ ” maintained Dwyer. “If we don’t enforce the laws we have on the books, I want to know what point there is in promulgating new laws!" concluded the Flint Hill lawyer. Committee member Homer Henry noted that he agreed with the, prepared statement* and suggestions presented by ~Caf^ Keim. “We’re not botTOred much with trespassers but road hunters sure have given us a problem in Castleton,” he said. Donald Fridenstine told the supervisors that he lives on a “low priority road” determined to be inadequate for mail delivery or school bus routes. “But 20 or 30 pick-up trucks can run up and down it all day (during hunting season). The county can’t even keep gravel on the road I We’ll be four inches deep in mud this spring.” He pointed out that Virginia has three and a quarter million acres of national forest. “Hunting should be done there.” “What do we do in cases of trespass?” asked Patricia Saltonstall, maintaining that the question must be answered before a citizen takes the law into his or her own hands. “It’s not the duty of this board to enforce the law,” answered supervisor chairman I. R. Latham. “These are matters which will have to be settled in court.” Gimme Warden* Can Arrest “As far as a game warden is concerned, if he sees someone in the act of hunting on property he knows is posted, he can make an arrest,” said Simmons, adding that the landowner doesn't even have to appear in court. He noted, however, that the game warden can’t make an arrest on the basis of what a landowner has witnessed. Asked by Dwyer if wardens are informed during training of this authority, Simmons replied that they were. “Would you be surprised to know that it's not beinc done?” Dwyer demanded. “He would be unless he’d received a formal complaint,” Del. Guest answered. In reply to Saltonstall’s question on what can be done about trespassers, Capt. Keim said he’d given commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner a list of six questions relating to trespass and received a prompt written reply. “This is an avenue open for, those who have questions,” he said, adding that he’d found Baumgardner to be very helpful and cooperative. “If you feel you need assistance in a trespass situation, you can call the sheriff’s department,’’ Baumgardner noted to Saltonstall. “I’ve already had that happen—nobody would come,” she maintained. “I'd like to know when you’ve ever called us and we didn’t come,” Sheriff W. A. WINTER DECORATIONS have been donned by every tree and shrub during the past weeks.

Davis St. Culpeper 825-4440 Buntin countered, noting that he has sent deputies to Saltonstall’s farm as requested on several occasions. “We don’t need to do this in a public meeting but I’d be glad to answer that for you,” she responded. Returning to the issue of enforcement. Major Simmons reported that there is currently a bill before the General Assembly to give game wardens full police powers. This would enable wardens to enforce laws against shooting within 300 feet of a road, he said. “What is the law as to posted land?” asked Bill Fannon. “Can anybody walk on your land with a gun?” Baumgardner replied that the code requires land must be posted or that the landowner must give written or oral notice of prohibition against trespass. "I abhor posting my land because i’m an avid hunter myself but I don’t know what else to do,” Fannon added. Checking further in the code, Baumgardner reported that trespassing on unposted land without the consent of the owner qualified as a class three misdemeanor. He also noted that the supervisors have the local option of passing an ordinance to prohibit hunting—not just discharging a firearm—in distances up to 300 feet from a public road. “We had as manv as 35 pick-ups driving up and down the road in Castleton this year,” interjected J. T. Woodard. "If something isn't done, there’ll be 75 next year!” “I hope the laws we have in effect now can be enforced,” added Nelson Lane of Woodville. “There is an element on our roads who are amazingly inebriated by sunrise...In the open week of deer season, I could have emptied a citation book on my farm alone." Supervisor Resolution Del. Guest noted that the supervisors must act on any resolution asking for a change in hunting season or prohibition against running deer with dogs in time for the commission's February 26 input meeting in Richmond. Keim said the members of the special committee on hunting abuses will attend that game commission session and urged other county citizens interested in finding a solution to the road hunting problem to attend as well, suggesting that anyone else planning to go contact a committee member. Guest acknowledged that sportsmen as well as landowners support the effort to find a solution to the problems posed by slob hunters. “It is incumbent upon all of us to control the slob hunters before the rights Start A Personal Retirement Plan That Will Save You Tax Dollars Every Year!

Another Side At the supervisors’ meeting on January 6, Dwyer reported an incident of alleged trespass and illegal hunting on his farm near Flint Hill. On Wednesday, Sheriff W. A. Buntin presented his account of the same incident. The sheriff said that the individual involved had permission to hunt on property of an adjoining landowner, killed and field dressed a deer there and dragged the carcass across Dwyer s orchard, gun in hand, to reach his truck. Dwyer, also armed, stopped the man, made him drop his gun and called the sheriff s department. A deputy was not available at the time so the state police were called and arrived first at the scene, according to the sheriff. Since the violation that occurred—trespass—was not committed in his presence, the trooper couldn’t make an arrest. By the time the game warden and deputy arrived, the deer had been moved down to Mde of Route 522, Buntin said. Neither of them witnessed the trespass misdemeaner either so they likewise had no authority to make an arrest. Therefore, the sheriff said, Dwyer was told that he must swear out a warrant himself. Keim asked Buntin what the sheriff would do if he received a complaint on trespass. "If the man was gone, I’d tell you to get a warrant,” Buntin replied. “Wrong—let me tell you what a good law enforcement officer would do,” Keim replied. He reported that he’d called former game warden Irvin Kenyon when he caught a trespasser who had shot a deer on his land on a Sunday some years ago. Kenyon set up a road block to catch the trespasser and after missing the law breaker drove to Arlington to make an arrest, charging the individual with trespass, failure to identify himself and hunting on Sunday, ac cording to Keim. Mrs. Helen Dixon asked the sheriff what action he would take if he actually saw a hunter trespassing on posted property. Buntin replied that he would still require the landowner to swear out a warrant. “I’d have no way of knowing if he (the trespasser) had seen the posted signs.” Intensified Pressure Game warden Jim Bankston maintained that shortening the hunting season to two weeks in Rappahannock would “only compress the problem.” He said that out-of-county hunters will still continue to hunt in Rappahannock. "During those two weeks, you won’t be able to go outside your doors—you’ll be dodging bullets!” "We have county cars now.

Here are some cost-cutting tips. Be sure your entire house is well insulated - especially under the roof where heat escape is the greatest. It is estimated that a proper insulation job, done from scratch, will pay for itself within five years. Be sure, too, that you have tight-fitting storm windows and doors. Fit alone can make a tremendous difference in heat loss and often a few dollars worth of weather stripping can close off expensive heat escape routes. And here are some measures you can take routinely: Turn your thermostat down ten degrees each night. Keep doors closed to rooms that you are not using and draw curtains and drapes closed at night. These last three simple steps alone can easily cut your overall fuel bill by 10 to 15 percent.

Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, February 4,1982 More Is Needed The special committee on hunting abuses and Rappahannock’s board of supervisors took a first step this week toward resolving the county’s crisis with slob hunters. Putting pressure on the game commission to outlaw running deer with dogs and to bring the 12 day season west of the Blue Ridge in line with the 43 day deer season east of the mountains are steps in the right direction but we’re afraid those steps will stop far short of bringing an end to road hunting. The problem here is the loaded gun on the front seat of pick-ups and cars that cruise our back roads, the drivers watching and waiting to shoot a buck or doe on posted property. It’s a problem across the entire state and it calls for a statewide solution. Until the question of what to do about that loaded gun is addressed, we have no real solution for eliminating slob hunting. The answer lies in a cased gun law for Virginia. It’s not going to be a popular answer. Opponents will scream “Gun control!” but it isn’t gun control — it’s hunter control. There is precedent for this type of legislation. We already have a cased gun law in effect on game commission property and in national forests. Hunters there must have guns cased except during the season for specified species of wildlife. (Jur sister state, West Virginia, has a statewide cased gun law. And “WestBy-God-.Virginia” is notQrious/or.its free spirited, gun-totmg mountaineers. If they can do it there without fear of gun control leading to gun registration leading to gun confiscation, why can’t we do it here? Concerned citizens of Rappahannock may be lulling themselves into a false sense of security if they believe that action by the game commission to equalize the deer season and prohibit running deer with dogs will solve our problem with road hunting. We believe that these two measures may alleviate the problem somewhat but solve it? No. Look at the deer harvest figures for the past season. In little Rappahannock County, records show about 1,300 deer legally killed and checked. That's only the official tally and doesn't include illegally taken deer but according to game commission biologists, that still works out to at least four bucks per square mile of forested area. Now look at the harvest in neighboring Fauquier with an area more than twice the size of Rappahannock. It was approximately 1,400 while Culpeper County, half again as big as we are, reports a kill of less than 600. We have the deer and where there’s deer, there will be hunters, whether the season is two weeks, three weeks or six weeks. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... Most of us have been hoping that, with Tuesday’s cloudy weather, the ground hog didn’t see his shadow, at least not in Rappahannock County. We’ve had enough snow and record-breaking low temperatures to last us for a whole winter. But, in many past years, the last part of the winter has been the roughest. Frances Foster dropped by the office last week to look at some old papers from 1962. She remembered that we had a bad snowstorm then in March. Sure enough, the Rappahannock News reported, in a front page story, snowfall measuring up to forty inches in a storm that hit the county on March 5 and 6. “The worst storm of the winter blew across the eastern section of the country Monday and Tuesday, “Critical power failures paralyzed Rappahannock and surrounding areas and telephone service is not yet completely restored. “Snow here measured from 25 to 30 inches. Power and phones were out for as much as 12 hour stretches, with poles snapped off and wires falling. One lineman estimated it would take two weeks to completely repair all damage to lines. “Traffic was congested as autos, trucks, and tractor-trailers were stranded on hills. “Though winds" were high, temperatures were hardly below freezing. “School was dismissed at noon Monday and remained closed for the week. People with oil heaters which did not require electricity, shared their homes with others and families cooked where friends had gas stoves. “No matter how dire the circumstances, there is always humor to be found in the situation. One family that had a very modern house couldn’t open any tin ckns of food because the only can-opener was electric. “A gentleman who hates overshoes was seen going up the street with a blue plastic laundry bag on one foot and a white one on the other.” Virginia has enabling legislation already on the books that permits the supervisors to prohibit carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle on a public right-of-way. In 1976, at the request of former supervisor chairman E.P. Luke who asked what could be done to answer landowner complaints on road hunters, game warden Jim Bankston brought that enabling legislation before the board. It was passed unanimously but without the required public advertisement and hearing. A month later it was reconsidered and passed again but this time the board adopted the enabling legislation and not a local ordinance. The judge tossed out the first case brought to court under the statute, holding that you can’t convict anybody on the minutes of a meeting. In 1978, the “saddle gun law” was again proposed after hunting season brought out the slob hunters. This time, the ordinance was voted down in a 3-2 decision. The same scenorio was repeated in 1980. Slob hunters now have Thompson Center Contender pistols with an effective range of 250 yards, pistols that shoot rifle cartridges, pistols that aren’t covered in the “saddle gun law” which applies only to rifles and shotguns. Neighboring counties that adopted the law back in 1976 have found that it's no longer effective; gun technology has outstripped this form of hunter control. Virginia has another piece of enabling legislation that allows local government to prohibit hunting in distances up to 300 feet from apliblic road. But the problem is how to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone driving three miles an hour down a wooded back road or even parked by the roadside is hunting. We have a state law that outlaws the discharge of a firearm within 300 feet of a state road. Currently, this statute is included in the criminal law section of the Virginia Code, enforceable only by state police and sheriff’s departments. There is legislation before the General Assembly this session to give game wardens full police powers, powers that would enable them to make arrests for discharging a fire arm within 300 feet of a road. But how is one warden going to adequately patrol 274 square miles, looking for violations, when the combined force of the sheriff’s department and state police haven’t had sufficient man power to do the job? We applaud the steps taken by the supervisors in supporting recommendations made by the special committee on hunting abuses. But there’s more to be done. We need to work for the passage of a statewide cased gun law. We must ask our representatives in Richmond to introduce such legislation. That is the only real solution to the problem of slob hunters. Without a cased gun law, deer season will continue to bring a reign of terror to Rappahannock County. I ^ —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. I^tham Our Rappahannock Heritage Subcommitee Approves 2 Bills To Control Non-Farm Land Use By SEAN ADAMS Arundel 'Newspaper*, Richmond Bureau A General Assembly joint subcommittee studying farmland preservation approved two bills last Thursday that would allow local governments to protect valuable agricultural land and to control better the rate and location of non-farm development. One of the proposals, recommended by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, would allow local governments to control the rate and location of nonfarm uses as set forth in a comprehensive plan and capital improvements program. But such plans would have to “contain reasonable provisions” for public facility improvements in areas designated for development in those plans. “We realize that this has pretty big ramifications,” said Del. Ford C. Quillen (DScott), chairman of the subcommittee. “But we think everybody else realizes that there is a need” for the enabling legislation, which would apply only to localities that want to use it. The second proposal, initiated by the Clarke County Board of Supervisors, would allow local governments to designate "important farmlands" within their jurisdictions. State agencies, in beginning capital projects such as roads, would then be directed to preserve “important farmlands” when planning those projects. But the Clarke proposal would also require a locality to "demonstrate that adequate provision has been made for non-agricultural uses within its jurisdiction.” “It just says to state Letter Honest Difference To the editor: During the January 27th meeting with the Board of Supervisors I presented the recommendations of a committee appointed by the Board to suggest means to assist in solving the recent deer road hunting incidents which occurred in the Castleton area. An honest difference of opinion arose between Sheriff Buntin and landowners pertaining to details and policy ' concerning the maintenance of law and order, which we feel should have controlled such actions. My remarks on this subject were not intended, nor should they be interpreted, to reflect adversely on the motivation or the character of a fine and honorable man. Sheriff Buntin has given a lifetime of service to this community and has laid his life on the line many times as a state policeman and our Sheriff. We owe him much. W.J; KEIM v > * agencies, ‘Don’t determine our land use for us by putting a highway through our best farms’,” said Margaret Maize), a member of the Clarke County Planning Commission who attended last Thursday’s meeting. The Loudoun bill will come before the House Counties, Cities and Towns Committee this Thursday, while the House Agriculture Committee will soon consider the Clarke bill. Shockley D. Gardner, executive vice president of the Virginia Home Builders-1’ Association, would offer no comment on either proposal after last Thursday’s meeting. He said during the meeting that he would “like to take a look” at the Clarke proposal before commenting on it. In a subcommittee meeting Jan. 21, Carl F. Bowmer, general counsel for the home builderst attacked the Loudoun proposal, saying it is not a farmland preservation bill but a “time phasing of development bill.” After the Jan. 21 meeting, it appeared that the subcommittee would approve the Loudoun proposal only for Loudoun County. But subcommittee members gave up that approach last week because they were afraid other counties that want to utilize the legislation might have been unable to if the authority were given only to Loudoun. Del. Quillen said that if only Loudoun were given such power, “by implication the other counties couldn’t do it." . can be put iir statewide,” said Del. Raymond R. "Andy" Guest Jr. (R-Warren), “it allows counties that want to use it to use it and those that don’t aren’t stuck with it." Clarke County Administrator G. Robert Lee, in a Jan. 26 letter to Del. Guest, said that Clarke and other counties “have adopted innovative land use controls to protect farmland resources and the adoption of legislation specific to only Loudoun County may frustrate continued efforts of other political subdivisions” to protect farmland. “The loss of farmland is not unique to Loudoun County,” A. R. “Pete” Dunning, a member of the Clarke County Board of Supervisors, told the subcommittee. Leesburg Supervisor Frank Raflo, who attended last Thursday’s meeting, said he was satisfied with the Loudoun bill, even though it was revised by the subcommittee. He also denied that the bill is a “no-growth" bill. * ...... "This is absolutely the opposite of a no-growth bill,” Raflo said. "This bill says that you will say - what you will do in your comprehensive plan, and you will commit to it." State Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-Loudoun) has said he will support the legislation. But Del. Kenneth B. Rollins indicated last week that he was reluctant to support the original bill, as proposed and written by Loudoun. The Clarke bill is based on a federal law enacted as part of the 1981 federal farm bill. The federal procedure first determines the quality of a locality’s soil, thereby determining which land is valuable agricultural land. The second part of the procedure then helps planners assess where development should be located and which land should be preserved, based upon the soil evaluation. Localities that want to utilize Clarke’s proposed legislation would have to 'tforttltfcf a survey of their agricultural land, in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Soil Conservation Service. Clarke was the only county in Virginia—and one of a number nationwide—to have its farmland evaluated as part of the Soil Conservation Service's program. Ms. Maizel said Clarke would help other counties that want to utilize the federal soil evaluation program so that they can take advantage of the state legislation, if it is approved. Bill Creates New Judgeship By SEAN ADAMS Arundel !Nfw»papm, Richmond Bureau Judgeships The Senate approved two bills Monday that would create new judgeships in the Circuit and Juvenile and Domestic Relations courts in the 20th judicial district. A third circuit court judge and a second juvenile court judge would be added to help handle overloaded dockets in both courts. The 20th district contains Loudoun, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. The new positions are still pending approval from the House and Gov. Charles S. Robb, although no opposition is expected from either the House or the governor. Interviews with candidates for the judgeships will take place soon, but no dates have been set. Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney Thomas B. Horne is the frontrunner for the circuit court position. The two candidates who will be considered for the juvenile court bench are Fauquier Commonwealth's Attorney Richmond Roundup A Special Weakly Summary Of Virginia Legislative Action A'Uf.<)e' Ne*smb.'s Hithmund Bureau Charles Foley and attorney John P.

They are among the nearly one million American deaths from heart disease and stroke this year.

Volunteers for Heart Month will be distributing Heart Association in formation and collecting contributions throughout the month of February. The Heart Association is the only voluntary health agency whose sole mission is to reduce early death and disability from heart disease and stroke. "With your support and contributions, the American Heart Association can continue its programs of research and professional and public education to reduce early death and disability from heart disease and stroke” Cloud said. interview prospects before he says who he will support. Corporate Tax In a 32-6 vote, the Senate approved a bill Monday that would raise corporate taxes •by $96.2 million over the next two fiscal years to offset a portion of the federal tax cut that took effect last year. Sen. Edward E. Willey (DRichmond), the bill’s sponsor, said it was necessary to recover revenues the state will lose as a result of the federal tax cut. The bill would impose a one-half percent surcharge on corporations with income under $100,000, and a onepercent surcharge on corporations learning $100,000 or more. Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-Loudoun) supported the bill. Senate Minority Leader William A. Truban (RShenandoah) opposed the measure, while Sen. Nathan ] H. Miller (R-Rockingham) was absent and did not vote. Committee Approves Annual Auto Inspection The House Roads and Internal Navigation Committee approved last Tuesday a proposal for once-a-year automobile inspections. The committee approved the measure 9-8 with Del. Orby L. Cantrell (D-Wise), the committee chairman, abstaining. Del. Robert B. Ball Sr. (DRichmond) introduced the bill that calls for once-a-year inspections and a $7 fee. Currently, Virginia motorists are required to have cars inspected twice a year, at a cost of $4 per inspection. Capt. Roy M. Terry, a safety officer for the Virginia State Police, said last week studies indicate that the frequency of inspections has little bearing on reducing accidents. That view is shared by Del. Raymond R. "Andy” Guest Jr. (R-Warren), a member of the committee who supported the bill. Del. Guest said Tuesday he was assured that even with the elimination of one inspection, “we can keep the safety factor in there.” But Del. Kenneth B. Rollins (R-Loudoun) said he opposed the bill because he was not convinced that safety would be maintained if vehicles were inspected once a year. He said yearly inspections would result in "a large increase”; in the number of unsafe vehicles on the state’s highways. Gov. Charles Sv Robb supports yearly inspections, as did former Gov. Dalton.

Alcoholism Treatment Center Opened Monday A private residential alcoholism treatment center serving' the Fauquier area opened its doors Monday. The facility is just off Route 229 near Rixeyville.

Using the wrong grade of kerosene will also shorten the unit’s wick life. —Never, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, use gasoline, aviation fuel, camping stove fuel or any other combustible liquid in a kerosene heater. Doing so is a sure invitation to a tragedy. A kerosene heater is designed to burn kerosene onlyl —Allow the heater to cool down before refueling. Take the heater outside to add fuel. An inexpensive siphon pump makes refueling a kerosene heater easier and safer. —Kerosene heaters use large amounts of oxygen as they bum. They never should be used in an unventilated area. People living in mobile homes, modular homes or a newer "energy efficient” (air tight) home should always open a window slightly to be sure adequate fresh air is available.

From great library and dramatic classics to the People’s Court of daytime TV and front page accounts of the Atlanta murder trial, criminal proceedings always have grabbed the eyes and ears of the masses. Stories from the court room can be suspenseful, ironic, comical, ludicrous. And they can be tragic. Yellowed by age, wrinkled from the folds of a century, records filed away in the clerk’s office in Washington tell a heart-rending tale of betrayal, of freedom and TAKE A TAX BREAK and call Yancey’s Accounting Services (703) 937-5239 Full line of bookkeeping and tax services Reasonable Rates! Viewtown, Va. Since 1972 enslavement in which the law was jthe forge that hammered chains of bondage onto a mother and her children. America, the land of the free, was still the land of the enslaved in 1846. Northern states had abolished slavery and voices cried out over the injustices of that heinious institution but in Virginia and in Rappahannock County, the system that allowed children to be sold away from the mothers and fathers still flourished. Kitty Payne and her two children, Mary and Eliza, were victims of that flourishing system. They were the property of Samual Maddox, a resident of the county. The court records say nothing of Kitty’s life in servitude. They don’t identify the father of her babies. On most of the crinkled old pages, Kitty doesn’t even have a last name. She’s just Kitty, “a person of colour.” The records don’t say whether Samual Maddox was a kind or a cruel master. They say only that he died in the fall of 1837. His will was admitted to record by the county court at its November term of the same year. Afl to Wife “Being of sound mind and disposing memory and knowing the uncertainties of life,” Samual bequeathed “unto my beloved wife Mary Maddox my whole estate, real, personal and mixed, to do and use as she may see proper during her natural life.” He also ordered that “if there should be anything left at the death of my wife,” his nephew, also named Samual Maddox, would inherit the remainder of the estate. In the will, Maddox appointed his wife as executrix. A year or so after her husband’s death, Mary entered into a contract with the nephew in which she agreed to surrender all her do next. Given the political climate in the South at that time, she could reasonably expect retaliation for what many of her white peers would perceive as treason to her interest in the 111 acres left by husband. In exchange, Samual paid her $1 and gave up all claims to his late uncle’s personal estate, according to the court records. There’s no information on the motivation behind the agreement. Maybe Mary was trying to prevent any possible retaliation from her nephew for what she was planning to race and class. Five years after she signed the contract giving her husband’s land to her nephew, Mary Maddox executed a deed of emancipation that freed Kitty, her two children born at that time and four other slaves—53-year-old Ben, 37year-old James, two-year-old Arthur, and George who was just two months of age. Dated February 25, 1843, the emancipation deed isn’t an imposing document. The black ink has faded over the years. It’s written on baby blue stationery, not on thick white legal paper. But its message must have burned as bright for Kitty and her companions in bondage as the ringing phrases of the Declaration of Independence did for the American colonists a century earlier. “I do emancipate and forever restore to perfect freedom, free from the control, claim or demands of any and all, person or persons whatsoever..." Mary Maddox wrote of her seven former slaves. On the day she became a free woman, Kitty Payne was 27, Eliza five and Mary four. The deed of emancipation was proven in the county court of Rappahannock during its March, 1843, term and admitted to record. Free State The South didn’t put out a welcome mat for free blacks in those years just prior to the Civil War. So instead of remaining in Rappahannock, Mary Maddox took Kitty and her babies to Pennsylvania. In 1780, that state had passed an act for the gradual abolition of slavery: “It is not for us to enquire why in the creation of mankind, the inhabitants of the several parts of the earth were distinguished in feature or complexion. It is sufficient to know that all are the work of an almighty hand,” the act began. It noted that slaves existed in "circumstance which not only deprived them of the common blessings that they were by nature entitled to but has cast them into the deepest applications by an unnatural separation and sale of husband and wife from each other and from their children.” To right what they saw as a terrible wrong, the Pennsylvania lawmakers decreed “all persons born within this state after passage of the Act shall not be deemed and considered as servants for life or slaves.” It further made provisions for the gradual freeing of slaves already born. Then in 1788 the act was amended to include “all and every slave or slaves who shall be brought into this state by persons inhabiting or residing therein, or intending to inhabit or reside therein shall be immediately considered, deemed and taken to be free to all intents and purposes.” To Kitty, the move to Pennsylvania must have been complete assurance that yes, she was free, emancipated and forever restored to perfect freedom as the deed of amancipation promised. Mary Maddox didn’t even stop there. Not only did she settle Kitty and her children in Pennsylvania as free persons but she wrote a deed of manumission and filed it with the justice of the peace there, discharging Kitty from servitude again on January 21, 1844. Secure that she had done everything that needed to be done, Mary returned to Rappahannock. Maybe she told a few close friends what she had done. Maybe her nephew demanded an accounting. The court records don’t say. But sometime after the harvest in 1845, Samuel Maddox and four or five other white men stopped at Charles Myers’ tavern and stable near Pennsylvania’s Menallan township between^ a.m. and 3 a.m. and wan their horses fed.

Flint Hill Landscape Architect Finds Diversity In His Frolession By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Nfw» Staff 1 ritcr Working from his home in Flint Hill after ten years of association with group practices, landscape architect Will Hoare believes that this new direction will enable him to provide the most careful attention to his clients and his profession. Diversity is one part of his profession and it appeals to Hoare. Right now, he's working on a master plan for a farm at Edinburg, a shopping center in Vienna and a home in Rappahannock County. Along with the hours spent at his drawing board and with photographs are hours spent walking boundaries, climbing hills and surveying property lines. Once begun, a landscape project also has ditches to dig. trees to plant, walkways to build, all supervised by the architect. "I'm outside a good third of the time.” Hoare said. "That’s about right for me." There is an added benefit: Hoare is home when his children, Anna and Sam come home from school. One comical problem from working at home - “I’m not sure that my neighbors believe I really do work," said Hoare. Hoare received his training at the Gloucester College of Art and Design in Cheltenham, England. Until 1978 he was associated with various planning projects in his native England, coming here once or twice a year with his American-born wife, Ti. After settling here, he worked with a Warrenton landscape architect before starting his own business. Why Flint Hill? "We wanted to be near Ti’s parents in Charlettesville." Hoare said. “We came through Rappahannock and loved it. So here we are.” For Hoare, who planned whole towns and villages in England, the transition to smaller-scale projects demanded of an individual architect has not been difficult. But there have been other changes. “There are more species of hardwood here in Rappahannock County than in all of Europe." Hoare said. "For instance, there are two species of oak in England: in these mountains I could probably find forty.' He explained that this was because the position of American mountain ranges provided protection during the last ice age. The earlier deforestation of the great hardwood forests of Europe also limited the remaining species. Hoare cleared up some common misconceptions of the role of a landscape architect. "He's not someone you call in after all other construction is finished." he said. "He should be called in to find a site for the house, plan the drive, and locate any other important areas like tennis courts, swimming pools, outbuildings." Besides fulfilling the client’s requirements. Hoare RCHS Moves To New Bull Run Athletic District Next year, it’s goodbye Skyline District, hello Bull Run, for teams from Rappahannock County High School. Beginning in 1982-83, the Panthers will be competing in district play against Brentsville and Manassas Park in v Prince William County, George Mason in Falls Church and Clarke County High School along with traditional rivals Stonewall Jackson and Strasburg from Shenandoah County. According to RCHS athletic director John Toth, the new district grew out of a need to solve a geographical problem. “There were three schools sitting out by themselves (on the edge of Northern Virginia) — Brentsville, George Mason and Manassas Park — all -FOOT FACTSDr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist HIGH ARCHED FEET "My feet are bothering me, but I don’t have flatfeet, why should they be hurting me?” This is a common question asked by many people. The foot is a complex part of the body that functions in a complex manner. A study performed at a California University for the Department of the Army has proven that the foot functions in the following basic vyay. It flattens out to adapt to uneven terrain for a short period of time and also allows for the hips to rotate over the , legs. It then moves into a relatively high arched position and locks to propel the body forward. If it remains flat (and loose) it causes problems, but remaining stiff and high arched also can cause problems. Bruce I. Vogel, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.S. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment. From the office of Dr. Bruce Vogel, Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery, 85 Garrett Street, Warrenton, Va. 347-9393. with single A enrollment and three schools around Staunton that needed to get into a single A district. Skyline was right in the middle of two different needs so dividing it up was the most logical geographical solution,” Toth explained. He noted that Rappahannock, located in the middle of the old Skyline District, could have opted to go with either the new Bull Run or the New Skyline. Bull Run was chosen because it involved the shorter traveling distances to away games. But even with the realignment, the Panthers will still be the shortest Indians on the totem pole. Toth noted that in the Bull Run District, as in Skyline, Rappahannock has by far the smallest enrollment of any of the member schools. Plan Now For Retirement Persons planning to retire in early 1982 should start making serious plans right now if they have not yet done so. A part of this planning should be applying for Social Security retirement benefits. Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said recently. Applying for benefits at the proper time is very important. Hundley said. This is because benefit payments are geared to the month of application. For example, a person THE TRAVEL CLUB presents The South Pacific Australia and New Zealand April 17 - May 6,1982 ooaaoaaaoooaooaaaaooo This is a tour that you just can't pass up!

Loudoun St. Mall I Winchester,Virginia 22601 Information believes the landscape architect should improve the quality of the land both visually and scientifically. "Just in practical terms, proper position for a house and good foundation planting could reduce heating and cooling bills by 20 or 25 percent," Hoare told me. One of his pet peeves is shopping centers, and his slides of abysmal views of a local shopping center illustrate his complaint. “It only takes a few trees,” he said. "In planting at a shopping center we’re usually not allowed to lose even one parking space and the typical additional fee is 1 percent of the total cost. Surely a pleasant shopping center would be more likely to be a commercial success too!" Slides and master plans of Hoare’s past work show simple forms, gentle and bright colors alternating, rolling curves softening the angles of modern buildings and an ease of maintenance that comes with choosing the right plants for the location. "We did a police station,” Hoare said. "We agreed to maintain it indefinitely for $10.00 per year. That's almost exactly what it cost us for a really expansive stretch of grounds." Hoare believes that a less tangible part of his profession is to provide people with a sense of their place among natural surroundings. “1 believe that man is profoundly influenced by his surroundings,” he said. “That's why we all live in Rappahannock." Rappahannock News Photo/T. Reynolds LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT WILLIAM HOARE works at his drawing board at his home in Flint Hill. Hoare has recently embarked on a private practice after many years of group associations here and in England. GENTLE CURVES soften the lines of this angular building and are typical of Hoare’s landscaping style. This one he designed in his native England.

Records Tell Sad Story (Continued from Page 7) “They stated that they were going after Maddox’s woman and children,” the tavern keeper testified in a later deposition. These vigilantes left some horses at the stables and returned about daylight. They had a woman with them. Myers didn’t see any children (Kitty had three by then, the two girls and baby James) but the tavern keeper noted that he heard voices from the carriage that sounded like children. “I cannot say further than that Maddox remained in the carriage with them while they stopped at my house,” he concluded. Appeal To Law The kidnappers returned to Rappahannock County and, according to court records, were about to sell Kitty and her three children off to slave traders. Somehow, the woman managed to lay her case before a local justice of the peace, Franklin Turner, who issued a warrant for Maddox on the grounds that he had committed trespass and assault and battery and had illegally detained Kitty and the children as slaves. In her suit, Kitty asked for her freedom and $1,000 damages. Kitty was taken into custody by the sheriff and committed to the county jail for her safe keeping. The judge later agreed she could be returned to Maddox’s possession if he posted a security bond—$400 for Kitty, $200 for Eliza Jane, $200 for Mary and $200 for James. "He is not to presume to beat or misuse them upon account of this suit, but is to suffer them to come to the clerk's office for subpoenas for their witnesses and to attend their examinations and the trial,” read the order from Judge Richard H. Field. From August 16, 1845, until March 16, 1846, and from March 16 until July 28, Kitty and her children waited in jail. For her stay, she was charged 20 cents a day board for herself and 15 cents a day for each of her babies by jailer Absalom Dillard. When the jailer presented his bill for $162.75 to the court, Judge Field ordered Kitty to pay. The trial took place in the summer of 1846 with Kitty represented by a courtappointed attorney, Zeph Turner Jr. On the all-white, all-male jury were George Eastham, Alexander Burgess, William Dudley, Thomas H. Martin, John Browning, John Hopper, James O’Bannon, Mrother McQueen, Joseph Hull, Simeon Suddoth, John J. Settle and Jesse Miller. From a petition that they were illegally detained as slaves, the charges brought by the plaintiffs—Kitty and her three children—were amended to trespass and assault and battery for the trial. The findings of the jury reflect the temper of the times: sympathy for the slave master who lost valuable property, not sympathy for the slave. On paper yellowed by age with lines written, reconsidered and then crossed out, the jury held that Kitty, Eliza and Mary were the property of Samual Maddox at the time of his death in 1837. They found that before his death, Maddox duly made and published his Iasi will and testament, leaving his entire estate to his wife, Mary. The jury members pointed out, however, that she never qualified as executrix, a simple matter that required her to present herself at the clerk’s office answer a few questions relating to the heirs and post bond unless waived by the will.

STOKES, CHAIRMAN Foreign & American Car Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese MidfillB__ Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street Warrenton 347-3785V2Xe£^ Mary executed a deed of emancipation in February, 1843, and shortly thereafter, went to Pennsylvania, taking with her Kitty and the children "and settled them as free persons in said state.” There they remained until July, 1845, “when they were taken in Pennsylvania and brought back to Virginia and this county,” the jury concluded. Left To Judge But the jury balked at finding for either the defendant or the plaintiffs. “The jury do not know and therefore they pray for the advice of the court and if the court decides the issue is for the plaintiff, then the jury finds for the plaintiff’ and “assess damages at one cent.” But if the court rules for the defendant, “then the jury finds for the defendant,” the records read. Hanging his decision on a technicality, Judge Field ruled in favor of Maddox, reforging the chains of slavery around the ankles of Kittv, Eliza, Mary and James. In his opinion. Field acknowledged that the bequest contained in the will of Samual Maddox in favor of his wife gave her a legal right to emancipate her slaves. But Mary Maddox did not acquire that legal right because she never qualified as the executor of her late husband’s estate, according to the judge. Kitty’s claim to freedom was not justified on the basis of the deed of emancipation since Mary Maddox did not legally hold title to the slaves left her by her husband, the judge concluded. He noted that Kitty also claimed a right to freedom under the laws of Pennsylvania. “What would be the influence upon the relation of master and slaves, if such slaves were carried to a country in which that condition is not recognized by law, whether by the owner or by a man who had the legal possession temporarily of such slaves, it is not necessary for the court now to enquire,” ruled Field. He described Mary Maddox’s removal of Kitty and her family to Pennsylvania as “an illegal act” since the slaves were the property of the ‘‘legal representative of the testator.” Kitty’s departure was “substantially an escape by the plaintiffs from their legal owner in Virginia,” the judge concluded, characterizing her claim to freedom based on Pennsylvania law as a “mere technical objection.” The court records are silent on what happened next to Kitty Payne. Did she remain in bondage in Rappahannock? Was she sold to a slave trader? Was she separated from her children? Did she live to see freedom again at the end of the Civil War? You hope that she did; that she endured long enough to achieve finally that “perfect freedom, free from the control, claim or demands of any and all, person or persons whatsoever,” the perfect freedom that she and her children deserved. Travel Up Although the year-end holiday season usually is regarded as a heavy travel period, travel on Virginia’s major highways increased less than one percent in December, 1981, when compared to the previous year. According to statistics compiled by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, travel in the state in December was up by only 0.1 of 1 percent over December, 1980. That was the lowest percentage increase since January, 1981, when travel in the state showed an increase for the first time in 20 months. Changes In Game Laws Sought (Continued from Page 2) season," countered Nelson Lane. A two-week season won’t create additional pressure on the county if running deer with dogs is eliminated, added Homer Henry. Rapp Owings noted that there’s no running deer with dogs in his neighborhood of Old Hollow but that road hunting is a problem in that area. “I’ve had good response from our game warden...He’s a heck of a good guy,” Owings added. Speaking for the state’s game wardens, Simmons noted that “there are a lot of things we’d like to do (in the area of making arrests for hunting violations) but we must have certain elements of proof.” After the close of the meeting, he noted that the local ordinance prohibiting hunting within a certain number of feet of a public road has been of significant help to wardens in controlling hunting abuses in the counties where it has been adopted. In conclusion, Del. Guest told the supervisors that he expects legislation conferring general police powers upon game wardens to be passed by the General Assembly. He also gave a good chance of passage to a second bill outlawing trapping on highway department right-of-way.

Burial was in Sperryville Cemetery. Mr. Wharton died Sunday, January 31. 1982, at Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal. He was a farmer, a native of Rappahannock County and the son of the late Broadus and Mattie Peyton Wharton. Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Salley Ethel Wharton; two daughters, Mrs. Dorothy Estelle Southard and Miss Rosie Mae Wharton, both of Castleton; two sons, Archie Edward Wharton of Williamstown, N. J., end Clarence Lee Wharton of Amissville; 15 grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren. (Continued from Page 1) munications equipment, the county should try now to get money for staffing a center through the compensation board. Jack Atkins, representing the Amissville fire company, opposed a county dispatch system, suggesting instead that Rappahannock work out a shared arrangement with Culpeper and then divide funds committed by the supervisors for dispatch equipment between the county’s financially troubled fire and rescue units. “Amissville is 100 percent behind a joint dispatch with Culpeper," he told the board. Amissville Broke Atkins also reported that at a special meeting held last week, Amissville’s treasurer reported a $1,000 balance in uncommitted funds with a $5,000 bill falling due in March. In addition, he said,' the company has one truck broken down and a pumper that needs approximately $1,500 worth of repairs. Amissville's fire and rescue department is sending a letter out this week, asking for donations from community . residents, and if operating expenses of $30,000 can’t be raised, the department will either have to get money from local government or shut down, Atkins warned. Controlled Growth Legislation (Continued from Page 1) “We try to keep personalities out of public meetings," Latham replied. But he acknowledged that this was often impossible once someone had been recognized to speak. Reading from a record book, Bruce detailed the calls he's answered since December 1, totalling 25 dogs picked up. "Anyone with any doubts can take the book and check the mileage! Now how much more can you do?" he concluded. Road Funds Sought Resident engineer Don Askew informed the supervisors that under current funding projections the county can expect $168,000 for improvements and construction on its secondary roads in 1982-83 and $68,000 in 1983-84. "For 1984-85 and on. there are no funds for improvements to the secondary system," he noted. To address that shortfall, the highway department has proposed a supplemental funding plan to the General Assembly which will give Rappahannock $391,000 for its secondary system in 198384 with increases as well in the following years to return the county to its 1979-80 level of funding, according to Askew. "We got $355,000 that year and since then, it's been steadily declining," he added. The board's response to the highway department's supplemental funding plan fell far short of endorsement. "As long as we can keep up the roads we have." said supervisor H. B. Wood, noting that the shortfall comes in construction, not in maintenance. As to maintenance. Askew reminded the supervisors that Rappahannock's highway department has had "a pretty tough two weeks for snow removal. We have to see what the rest of the winter and spring brings us. I'm sure we're going to get some pot holes." The resident engineer also informed the board that a property owner near Laurel Mills has asked the highway department to abandon a relocated section of Route 729 and volunteered to dedicate additional right-ofway along his road frontage. The supervisors agreed to advertise the abandonment for public hearing at their March meeting. In other action, the board: —authorized supervisor Hubert Gilkey to negotiate with the contractor on ad r-AmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 32 7 No Royal Ave Front Royal Va 635-3556 L P Gas distributor serving a lour county area Propane gas tor full nouse use beating water beating and cooking Hardwick Rangels Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters - If ditional repairs to the court house including an exit light and steps from the upstairs courtroom to the fire escape ($167 estimate), a second flourescent light for the downstairs hall ($30), three extra light fixtures for downstairs offices ($405) and painting the two bathrooms and hall past the swinging doors ($435). —authorized the Rappahannock Recreational Authority to draw money from the general fund to pay contractor's bills for work done at the county park with reimbursement to come from the Commission on Outdoor Recreation. —agreed to pay unemployment compensation claims for former school employees for the remainder of the current fiscal year and to have claims paid from the school board budget from then on. —asked commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner to research the issue of responsibility in unemployment claims from former school employees who worked under contract and left school employment at the end of (he specified contract period. The board met in executive session for personnel with zoning administrator David Konick. The chairman reported no action was taken in the closed meeting. —D.

SALE SALE SALE S MAJOR CLOSEOUT SALE at THE COUNTRY STORE 10-90% OFF Feb. 10-14 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Washington, Va. 703-675-3788 S SALE SALE SALE Dispatch System Amissville runs between 50 and 60 percent of its calls in Culpeper, five percent in Fauquier and the balance in Rappahannock, according to Atkins. (He said after the meeting that the Culpeper Fire Department has indicated it will not discontinue dispatch service for Amissville.) Atkins told the supervisors that he doesn’t anticipate raising enough money to cover operating expenses through the fund drive since contributions for aii entire year usually run about $5,000. “I think there are a whole lot of other companies in the county in the same shape we’re in,” he said, stressing the difficulty of completing training requirements, keeping equipment maintained and raising necessary operational funds with just the handful of active members in each company. “We certainly sympathize with your situation,” responded supervisor chairman J. R. Latham. "But I don't know what can be done to remedy it except appeal to the people." In reply to Amissville’s opposition to a county dispatch system and Atkins' suggestion that funds committed by the supervisors for that dispatch be allocated between the different companies, Frankie Huff from Flint Hill’s fire and rescue maintained that splitting up $5,000 between seven companies would be some help but of no comparison to having local dispatch service. Huff maintained that Amissville's opposition centered around the long distance calls that would be required to reach a dispatch center in Washineton. “The rest of us have been making toll calls for five years (to Culpeper for dispatch),” Huff noted. “Are you going to appease five companies or listen to one?" He described the $5,000 committed by the supervisors for dispatch equipment as a nominal amount compared to the sums raised for fire and rescue services by volunteer members. “It’s time to come forth and do something positive...to show the volunteers you're behind us once and for all,” Huff told the board. “There’s no doubt we’re behind you. You call us Support Given George P. Beard, Jr. and Raymond R. (Andy) Guest, Jr. have written to Mrs. Mary R. Jamieson, chairman of Trustees of the Rappahannock County Library, that they are supporting Senator John C. Buchanan’s bill governing expenditure of state aid funds for public libraries. At the present time state aid funds may only be used for books, equipment, travel and for partial payment of salaries of certified librarians. This bill would allow the funds to be used in partial payment of salaries of Support Group Plans Meeting A Support Group for Abused Women will meet at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 115 North East Street, Culpeper, Virginia on Monday, February 15, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. For further information call the Culpeper Mental Health Clinic at 825-5656. Library Bill non-professional employees as well. In the past, the Rappahannock County Library has been using all the funds it has received from the State to purchase books. This year, a small percentage is being used for equipment as well: Senator Buchanan’s bill would permit many smaller libraries more discretionary use of the funds allocated by the State to supplement funds from local sources.

In a final comment, Leggett reported that fire and rescue representatives had met with Culpeper to try to work out a shared dispatch arrangement “and they refuse to consider a joint dispatch."

Panthers Drop To Third In District By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Mews Staff Writer “We definitely could have won it at the foul line,” said Rappahannock coach Bob Edmondson of his team's 3538 loss to William Monroe’s Dragons at Stanardsville Tuesday night. The Panthers grabbed the lead from the start of the game and kept their advantage until the closing minutes. Ahead 15-12 at the end of the first quarter, RCHS widened the gap to five, 25-20, by halftime, despite having starters Glenn Fletcher and Robert Myers on the bench in foul trouble during the second quarter. But the Dragons inched ahead 33-32 by the end of the third quarter. Rappahannock lost the game in the fourth. “William Monroe played slow-down ball and we were in real foul trouble,” Edmondson said. Myers, the Panthers’ defensive ace, was on the bench with four fouls for much of the time, hampering efforts to break up the Dragons’ stall tactics. In addition, his ball handling skills were missed as RCHS committed four turnovers in the fourth. Even the offensive game fell off as the Panthers hit only one of four tries from the field in the final period. At the foul line, Rappahannock cagers shot a dismal 41 percent, connecting on seven of 17 attempts while the Dragons hit six of nine for 66 percent. Two crucial shots came with 19 seconds on the clock and William Monroe ahead by a single point when Frankie Rucker went to the foul line to put the Dragons in front by three. Mike Leake was high scorer for RCHS with 11, the only Panther in double fieures. The loss dropped Rappahannock to third place in the Skyline District with a 12 record behind William , Monroe (2-1) and leader Stonewall Jackson (4-0). Overall for the season, the Panthers' record is 6-7. Game* Cancelled Rain, snow, sleet and hail may not stop the U. S. mail but the weather certainly played havoc with the Panthers’ basketball schedule. Following a two week layoff just as the team was swinging into high gear, RCHS lost a cliff hanger to Strasburg in overtime on January 26, 62-59. High scorer was Robert Myers with 17. Also in double figures for the Panthers were Mike Leake with 16 points and Gregg Martin with 12. "We had a chance to win but we just couldn't get that last bucket to go in,” said coach Edmondson.

In addition, coach Edmondson said, the Panthers were hurt when a controversial blocking foul called on Leake in the overtime period put Rappahannock's big scoring threat out of the game. Three days later, however, the Panthers roared back with a 59-39 victory over Luray. Glenn Fletcher was high scorer for RCHS with 21 points followed by Myers with 10. “Fletcher scored 16 in the second half—that really opened things up,” Edmondson reported. “We played very well except for the second quarter when Luray outscored us by four.” On Saturday, January 30, the Panthers traveled to Clarke County where they chalked up another one-sided victory, defeating their nondistrict opponents, 47-28. The game got off to a slow start with a first quarter score of 8-6, RCHS ahead. “Clark started off in a zone defense and we usually play a ball control game, against a zone, working for the good shot," Edmondson explained. tveryone on the team played a heck of a defensive ball game! We held Clarke to only two points in the second quarter and that’s very rare. There was no one in double figures for Clarke,” the coach said. Leake was high for RCHS with 16, followed by Fletcher with 14. In a game highlighted by great defensive play, Myers was a standout, credited with four steals. On Wednesday, the Panthers journey to Page County and on Friday to Stonewall for the final road trip before five straight athome contests.

Pork Recipes For Hearty Winter Meals By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Nfw* Staff Writer For Rappahannock readers with freezers full of pork we have some pork recipes this week. Some are old-time recipes for odd parts of the hog and some are for special meals. Scrapple Soak a hog’s head overnight, add this to the hog skins and pieces left over from butchering and boil together until well-done. Remove the meat from the bones and cool. Strain the liquid to remove unwanted parts. Chop the meat through a coarse grinder and place it in the liquid and allow the mixture to slowly simmer. Sprinkle in a quart of corn meal and stir continually. Season with black pepper, salt and sage to suit taste and cook for at least twenty minutes. Pour the mixture in pans and allow to cool. To serve, cut the loaf into thin slices, dredge in flour, and fry until brown. Panhaus Heat six cups of pork broth and slowly sprinkle one and a quarter cups of yellow com meal into the boiling liquid. Cook until the mixture thickens and stir in two cups of pork chopped very fine. (Use odd parts left over from butchering.) Add one tablespoon of salt; a quarter tablespoon of pepper and a half tablespoon of sage. (Some people also add a little onion.) Stir well to blend the mixture and pour into loaf pans. When cool, remove the panhaus from the molds. To serve, cut the loaf into quarter inch slices, dredge in flour and fry slices in hot deep fat until they turn a golden brown on both sides. Barbara Burke makes Baked Pork Chops by browning them first in a little oil to prevent sticking and then baking them in the oven covered with a can of golden mushroom soup until tender. Another way to prevent lean pork from drying out is to cook it in a slow cooker. For Spicy Pork Roast, cook a small shoulder or ham roast in a slow cooker with sliced onions or garlic, a sprinkle of salt, paprika and red pepper, and a cup of beer, dry white wine or half a cup of vinegar and half of water. Cook until tender (all day on low setting).

More on Venison Diana Bird, who with her husband, Lee, and son Christopher, use venison as one of their main sources of meat, read our venison recipes last week and was kind enough to write out some of her special techniques for handling and cooking venison. Diana writes: ‘‘To make the most of venison, particular care must be taken of it from the moment it is killed until it is easten. Lee and Christopher "field dress” it immediately and cut the scent glands from the legs. As soon as possible, we hang it in a protected place and skin it to assist rapid coolinc. “There is disagreement in our family on aging the deer. I believe in butchering it as soon as possible. Lee and Christopher believe aging improves texture and taste. “We remove all meat from the bones, separating the muscles and not cutting into them. The result is that we get about four good roasts from each hind leg, and two small tenderloins, and the two large exterior loins which 1 make into two' or three roasts apiece. There are tother pieces which can be left in this large-piece condition. “The reason we handle the animal in this way is that the natural skin covering of the muscles protects them from drying and the natural juices are not lost when the meat is frozen and thawed. If the meat is cooked whole, most 5 Amissville Has New Adventure By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The sign at New Adventure Hair Stylists in Amissville reads “mustaches waxed." If that brings to mind a picture from the Gay ’90s era of a dapper gentleman in a striped blazer and straw hat. waiting to have his handlebar mustache curled and oiled, try again. At New Adventure, they’re talking about removing ladies’ mustaches, that unwelcomed shadow on the upper lip. “Everything you’ve got, we'll take it off!” joked Lois Settle, manager of the basement shop that opened last June in her home. In addition to mustaches, they remove unwanted chin hair and leg hair with wax at New Adventure. “I'm not going to tell you that it doesn’t hurt at all but it isn’t a painful process," Lois said. “It’s like pulling a bandaid off," promise^ beautician Ann Simmons, formerly owner and operator of the Fauquier Hair Salon in Remington. of it does not experience toughening caused by heat and the meat's natural tenderness is preserved. In addition, removing the bones reduces the volume of meat to be stored. “The rest of the meat can be selected, packaged and weighed in pound quantities for fondue - cutting into cubes and cooking quickly at the table on long forks in hot fat. The final cutting of the meat for this is done at the time it is to be cooked. I often marinade it in wine, garlic, soy & Worcestershire sauce for several hours to add flavor. (Our Japanease visitor of last summer found this dish his favorite of anything he had in America. Of course, he had never eaten venison before.) Other scraps of meat and misshapen pieces we grind up for hamburger. I use it for spaghetti sauce which it flavors marvelously. I also mix it with tamari, Worcestershire sauce and other seasonings, especially chili powder, spread it on bread to the outermost edge, brush with melted butter, and cook under the broiler lightly - an open-faced sandwich quick and easy for lunch. (1 do this with our ground beef as well.) To cook the roasts, I lay several strips of bacon over the thawed-out meat and cook it in the oven at 200 degrees for about an hour...It should be rare. When slicing, cut across the grain in thin slices. If there is a heavy layer of skin or connective tissue on one side, don’t cut through that. Cut the meat off it.

In addition to waxing away surplus hair. New Adventure offers the full line of hair services, including cuts, shampoos, permanents, streaking, dyes and frosting. Ann, a licensed beautician with ten years experience, takes care of that end of the operation. Lois' daughter, Vicki Dennis, who took several courses in cosmetology while a student at the University of Arizona, is the nail specialist. An army of nail polish bottles, in every color of the rainbow and then some, march across the glass topped table where Vicki replaces short, stubby, chewed-off nails with sculptured facsimiles in any length requested. “She keeps pretty busy,” Lois reported. “Her customers have to come in about every other week for a refill as soon as their real nails begin to grow out.” In addition, Ann and Vicki both give facial treatments that are preceded by a face massage. “It’s so relaxing. When I was teaching cosmetology, I used to get my students to practice on me,” Ann confessed. "It's really been a new adventure,” said Lois, explaining the beauty shop’s name. “I always wanted something to do—just a little bit of work—but I didn't want to go out for a job. This was Vicki’s idea. She and Ann do most of the work. I just boss!” Lois said, chuckling. The home business has had a side benefit. Now bright and inviting, the three rooms of the beauty shop were a garage in their former life. “It was my husband’s workshop with little paths through piles and piles of junk,” Lois recalled. She and her husband did all the remodeling themselves, except for plumbing and electrical work. “It was nice just to get it cleaned up so we didn't have to walk through all those old tires and bicycles," she said. Besides enabling her to get the garage cleaned up, Lois said, operating New Adventure Hair Stylists has added some extra fun to her life. "I’ve met a lot of nice, interesting people 1 wouldn t have known otherwise. This is a very friendly place. We always have a pot of coffee going ahd something good to eat.” she concluded. — Rappahannock N*w» Pholo/S. Latham VICKI DENNIS is the manicurist at the New Adventure Salon in Amissville. Sign Up For Medicare Nov From now through the end of March is the general enrollment period for the medical insurance part of Medicare, according to Bruce A. Hundley. Social Security manager in Culpeper. During these 3 months people who passed up the chance for this protection, or who had it and dropped out, can again sign up. Protection for people who sign up during this period will start next July I. Medical insurance is a bargain because the Federal Government pays more than ffco-thirds of the premium cost from Federal general revenues. Medical insurance complements the hospital insurance part of Medicare. Flospital insurance helps pay for medically necessary inpatient hospital care and certain followup care in a skilled nursing facility or at home. Medical insurance helps pay for doctor’s services no matter where they are received in the U<S., including surgical service, diagnostic tests and X-rays that are part of the treatment, medical supplies furnished in the doctor's office, service of the office nurse, and drugs that are given as part of the treatment and which cannot be selfadministered. Medical insurance also covers outpatient hospital services received for diagnosis and treatment and other services and supplies not covered by hospital insurance. In addition, it pays for 80 percent of the approved costs of charges for covered services and supplies after the patient has met the $75 annual deductible. RAY T CANNON CO. INC.
