Rappahannock News, February 11, 1982

I 20' VF O’s R eported By Residents By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer There have been no close encounters of the third kind, at least not yet, but two Rappahannock residents —both upstanding citizens with unblemished reputations for truth and reliability—have reported mysterious sightings of unidentified flying objects. The spotters have asked to remain anonymous so readers will have to take it on faith that their judgements can be trusted. At 6:50 a.m. on Monday, February 8, an early riser in Gid Brown Hollow saw a tremendous orange colored light suspended over Jenkins Mountain. “It just sat there and gradually faded out as if a dimmer switch had been turned off,” the watcher reported. An orange UFO was spotted at the other end of the county last month on Thursday night, January 7, beginning at about 7:10. In this earlier instance, a motorist in the Castleton area observed "five giant lights about half the size of a full moon” descending over a neighbor’s house. “I thought he had spot lights on, doing some roof repairs, but when I reached the top of the hill, the lights had gone over the horizon and there was just this big orange glow in the sky. Then at the Forest Grove Church on the Viewtown Road, I saw the orange lights again. There were five of them in a very distinct zig-zag pattern with two up and two down and an equal distance between each light. “There was no moon so I couldn't distinguish any outline. All I could see were the dazzling lights. But I’d estimate the size of the object as 200 feet in diameter, judging from the arrangement of the lights and the lights themselves as about 25 feet each.” (Continued on Page 10) Cheese Distribution Begins In County Rappahannock's welfare department distributed 570 pounds of processed American cheese on Tuesday to eligible supplemental security income (SSI) and food stamp recipients. The five pound blocks of surplus cheese given out by volunteers and office staff on Tuesday constituted almost one-third of the 1,800 pound allocation. Distribution will continue through Friday with any cheese left over at that point to go to the public school’s lunch program. As a supplement to the distribution, the welfare department offered the following suggestions on home care and storage of cheese. Cheese may be stored indefinitely at a constant 32 degrees F. in the original pack. Each loaf is covered with an airtight wrap. Slice the amount of cheese needed from the loaf and then tape the ends to keep it airtight. If the original wrap is removed, rewrap the cheese tightly with plastic film wrap, leaving no air pockets. Always return remaining cheese to the original box to keep pressure on the surface. Well wrapped opened cheese may be kept at 30 degrees - 35 degrees F for 3 or 4 weeks. Molds can grow on cheese in the refrigerator when the cheese is exposed to air or when it is poorly wrapped. Just cut off the mold plus a modest amount of cheese underneath the mold growth. However, if the mold is growing throughout the cheese, throw it out. Freezing is not generally recommended because it causes cheese to dry out and crumble. Cheese freezes at temperatures below 30 F. However, process American cheese can be stored in the freezer if frozen rapidly in thin, '/i pound pieces. The cheese must be wrapped in moisture-proof Film. If freezing is not done quickly, the cheese will become dry and crumbly when thawed. Thawing should be done slowly in the refrigerator while the cheese is still in its wrapping to prevent loss of moisture and flavor. If crumbling does occur, the cheese may be used for cooking or as grated cheese. Never refreeze cheese that has been frozen and thawed. Processed cheese can be frozen up to five months and still be of good quality. However, if it is cut into small cubes or slices it should be kept frozen for no more than one month. .

Sunday afternoon’s warm sunshine brought out travelers and those who just relaxed at home basking in the sun of one of the few good days recently. k A Plea Bargains Settle Five Cases Plea agreements settled five cases brought before Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson on Thursday. As a condition of the plea bargain struck with commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, Gary Allen Stuple, 26, of Covington, pleaded guilty to breaking and entering and grand larceny. The charges arose from the June 3, 1981, robbery of Major Cogill's Wakefield Service Station at Flint Hill. As the state’s part in the plea bargain, Baumgardner agreed to support recommendations of the probation officer which are to be presented at a hearing set for March 18. In exchange for guilty plear from Ronald Lee Gheen of Bealeton and Eddie Lowe and Larry Dawson, both of Remington, felony charges of grand larceny against the three were reduced to a petty larceny misdemeandors. The men are accused of taking a tire and various car implements from an outside shed at the residence of Steve L. Kellison near Amissville on September 5, 1981. The case was continued until April 15 from .■ pre-sentence report and sentencing. Judge Robertson orderd a psychiatric evaluation for James Robert Jackson of Woodville at the request of his court-appointed attorney. Jackson is facing charges of breaking and entering with intent to defile, attempted rape and pandering. "I have had a very difficult time exploring a defense with Mr. Jackson," lawyer Michael Hubbard told the judge. “Either he doesn't understand or he’s incapable of understanding. He’s been of virtually no assistance in preparing his case.” (Continued on Page 10) I Church School Granted Permit By Zoning Board Before a full house last Friday, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals voted unanimously to issue a special use permit to Massanova Pentecostal Church for a Christian day school. The board stipulated, however, that enrollment is limited to 50 and that a sewage disposal system in compliance with health department regulations must be operating by August, 1982. The courtroom was packed on Friday with 60 some supporters of the church’s application including the 25 youngsters currently enrolled at Massanova Christian Academy, dressed in bright red and navy blue uniforms and wearing ties dotted with replicas of the American flag. But few of the spectators spoke in favor of the application; testimony came primarily from Massanovas' attorney and from the pastor of the church. The permit request covered "a full comprehensive Christian education cor sisting of Sunday school and Christian day school, nightly services, missionary society, all day meetings, children’s crusade and morning prayer meetings.” In justifying the broad scope of the proposed uses, lawyer Charles Sickels noted that he’d spent hours in discussion with commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner and Nutrition Site Moves To Trinity Church On March 1, Rappahannock's Senior Citizen Nutrition Site will move to a new location at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington., In connection with the nutrition program administered by the Area Agency on Aging, Bob Cowan, coordinator for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), is looking for persons of all ages willing to donate their time and talents at the new site. In addition, he issued an invitation to county residents 60 years of age and over to visit Trinity on Monday, March 1, and join the group for lunch. The nutrition program is designed to provide more than just a balanced meal, according to Cowan. “It gives senior citizens an opportunity for companionship and sociability.” he explained. To that end, Cowan is concentrating on expanding other activities included as part of the nutrition program. “Our plans include starting craft classes and, if interest is shown, organizing a Bible study group. We’re also hoping for a donation of a used piano in working condition that we can use for sing-alongs of hymns and other old favorite tunes," he said. Several individuals have already contacted the RSVP director with offers to give travel slide shows of Norway, Spain, Italy, the Holy Lands and other foreign countries. In addition. Jack Burke of Warrenton, a musician who had his own band in California for 25 years, has volunteered to bring his guitar to the site from time to time and conduct singalongs. Anyone—senior citizen or younger—interested in giving craft lessons, acting as host or hostess at the nutrition site, playing the piano, conducting exercise classes or just generally helping with the meals program should contact Cowan at 70 (Continued on Page 10) Deer Kill Is A Record Hunters checked a record number of deer in Rappahannock during the 198182 season, according to game warden Jim Bankston. A total of 1,308 animals was legally checked at stations in the county with a breakdown of 912 bucks and 396 does. Last year. 806 animals were taken. Rappahannock’s tally is not unique, Bankston noted, reporting that all but five counties west of the Blue Ridge Mountains posted record kills. He attributed the high kill partially to the excellent weather that favored hunters this season. Bankston also noted that the laree number of deer slain shouldn't affect the zoning administrator David Konick “on how to approach a very serious and difficult problem.” Massanova Church lies in an agricultural zone, Sickels said, where it is allowed as a non-conforming use which existed prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance, not as a matter of right. He added that there are no zoning categories under the county's ordinance in which churches are allowed by right. (In fact, churches are permitted by right in residential business (RB-1) zones.) Sickels gave the BZA a site plan for the church lot which included a crushed gravel parking lot and septic field at the northern end of the property. Adjacent uses, he noted, include James Massie's farm and Jenkins' construction yard. A floor plan of the church building also presented to the board shows a sanctuary on the top floor and learning center, lunch room, kitchen, typing room and library in the basement. Classes using the accelerated Christian education curriculum are offered for grades kindergarten through ninth to an enrollment currently at 25; according to Sickels. He added that the state fire marshal had recently inspected the building, citing several modifications which have all been rectified (with the exception of installation of larger doors, on order but not yet delivered). (Continued on Page 8) county s overall population. According to game commission biologists, does must account for 33 percent or more of the total kill before there is an impact on the size of the local deer herd, the game warden said. In Rappahannock, the doe share of the harvest amounted to just 30 percent. The bear kill was up for the county as well this past sesason with 21 checked compared to 18 in 1980-81. The bear harvest set a record statewide, according to Bankston, up from 232 last year to a high of 432. an increase of 86 percent. In Rappahannock, 87 turkeys were checked this past season, a jump of 13 percent over last year's harvest of 77. Flint Hill Rescue Squad Adds Advanced Life Support Equipment By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Ncwa Huff Writer The odds on surviving a heart attack jumped in Rappahannock County when the Flint Hill Rescue Squad’s advanced life support system became operational. Purchased with a 75-25 percent federal matching grant of SI0,000 recently awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services, the advanced life support apparatus includes radio equipment, electrocardiogram monitor and defibrillator. The monitor enables rescue squadsmen trained in advanced life support to track heart rhythm. The information is transmitted directly to Fauquier Hospital, the only area facility that currently has the capability to receive telemetry. Doctors there can see an exact duplication of the strip from the electrocardiogram monitor and can prescribe treatment, including use of the defibrillator to administer an electric charge to the heart to correct irregular rhythm. Doctors also can order squadsmen to administer any of ten basic drugs carried by the Flint Hill ambulance or start three different intravenous solutions. To date, the Flint Hill unit has six squad members trained to start IVs, and two members, Ken Pullen and Frankie Huff, qualified to use the electrocardiogram monitor and defibrillator. According to Pullen, Flint Hill’s advanced life support team will respond to requests for assistance from the county's other rescue units. None has advanced life support capabilities, with the exception of Amissville which has members trained in shock-trauma. < Of the five counties in the Rappahannock-Rpaidan Planning District, Fauquier and Orange now have advanced life support capabilities with Madison's unit to be operational in May, according to Emergency Services director Gary Rosson. “The whole state is watching Rappahannock County,” Rosson said. “It's one of the most rural areas to have this type of thing.” Pullen acknowledged the assistance Flint Hill has received from the EMS Council, noting that Rosson helped the rescue company both in engineering the advanced life support system and in obtaining the federal grant to finance 75 percent of the cost of the new equipment. Early Help Necessary But Pullen emphasized that advanced life support in and of itself won’t prevent deaths from heart attacks. “The whole system depends on getting help in time. Victims of heart attacks shouldn’t wait until they collapse before seeking assistance.” “The average person will deny a heart attack for three hours before calling for help. That’s a national statistic," Rosson added. Pullen advised anyone suffering from chest pains for more than a couple of minutes to call an ambulance, "just to be on the safe side.” Calling doesn’t necessarily mean that the individual will be taken to a hospital; it just ensures that the condition will be checked to determine if further medical attention is warranted, he said. The county’s cardiopulmonary resuscitation program also ties in to heart attack prevention, Rosson noted. ‘‘Once breathing and heartbeat stops, you have about four minutes to reverse the condition. It’s (Continued on Page 10) — lUppahanaocfc NemPImo/D.

Fans at the home game, the first at RCHS since the beginning of the season, saw substitute Wayne Atkins come off the bench to score 15 points. He was part of a balanced scoring thrust that left four Panthers, including Mike Leake, Karl Frye and Robert Myers, in double figures. Rappahannock jumped to an early lead and held the advantage, 15-12, at the close ^ of the first period. “We could have done better. We gave up three layups that we shouldn’t have,” Edmondson noted. “But the big story was our bench. They scored 12 points in the second quarter,” he said, with Atkins contributing 6. Pops Aylor 4 and Eric Bear 2 to outstrip Page, 24-12, in the period and give Rappahannock a 39-24 lead at the half. Atkins stretched his shooting streak into the second half, connecting for nine additional points. “You can’t ask for more than that!

In the third quarter. Skyline District scoring leader Mike Leake tossed in six points while Karl Frye added four, almost pulling off the slam dunk that fans have been waiting for since he rejoined the team last Friday following a semester of academic probation. “It will come,” Edmondson promised. “Whether it’s on a fast break or a steal, it’s just a question of getting everything set up right.” Leading 55 to 37 going into the final period, the coach cleared the bench with three and a half minutes left. The Panther subs held their own, tallying 22 points to Page’s 23 in the last quarter. RCHS hit five of nine tries from the foul line. “That’s over 50 percent," noted Edmondson. “It’s not what it should be but it's better. But we need to go up to 60 to 65 percent for the tournament” Myers played with his usual hustle, grabbing four steals, while Leake and Frye controlled the boards, pulling down 13 and nine rebounds respectively. Leake was also high scorer with 17, followed by Atkins with 15 and Frye and Myers with 14 apiece. The Panthers’ upcoming games include home contests on Thursday, Friday and Tuesday, February 11, 12 and 16. The Panthers upset district leader Stonewall Jackson hriday nignt, woz, as a vjfoot jumper from Robert Myers dropped through the net with a second left on the clock. The 5-foot, 6-inch guard took the inbounds pass with four seconds left and Rappahannock down by one on a play that coach Edmondson intended to go to Carl Frye underneath. Myers was to set a screen for the six-foot, 2-inch forward who had scored 11 points in the contest—his First of the season after sitting out due to academic problems—all from close range. But the Generals were staked out underneath the basket, double teaming Frye and Mike Leake, high scorer of the night for the Panthers with 16. Myers was open and after taking one dribble and a long stare at the basket, he released a high, arching jumper that dropped cleanly through the hoop, barely stirring the net. Pandemonium erupted as ecstatic Panther fans hoisted Myers up on their shoulders for a hero’s ride to the locker room. Later, the play-making guard was - given a standing - ovation by his teammates as he boarded the bus for home. Stonewall’s coach attributed the loss to his team’s dismal performance at the foul line. Edmondson acknowledged that Panthers had outscored the Generals, 11 to eight, from the charity stripe but added that Rappahannock’s free throw percentage still falls far below his expectations. Last Wednesday in an away game at Page, the Panthers slipped in a 58-53 loss. "We were up by seven points going into the third quarter,” Edmondson noted. But Rappahannock hit only two of nine shots from the field in the final period and five of ten tries from the foul line while Page connected for 21 points. “We just went cold and they got hot,” the RCHS coach added. Glenn Fletcher was high scorer fot the Panthers with 19 followed by Leake with 15. At the close of last week’s schedule, Leake retained his hold on the top spot in Skyline District scoring with an average of 16 points per game. Fletcher had the sixth slot on the list of top ten with an 11.7 average.

Whatever or whichever it is, the FORE (Facility for Occupational and Rehabilitative Enterprises) Workshop for the handicapped receives a helping hand March 6 when the Rappahannock Hunt Pointto-Point takes place at Thornton Hill Farm, Sperryville. Rappahannock race officials recently put their heads together and decided to bite the Reaganomics bullet to aid the Financially strapped private organization serving Rappahannock, Fauquier, Madison, Culpeper and Orange counties’ “special people.” David Carter, race chairman, says a percentage of program sales will go to FORE, and there will be a - location designated at the .race course for a FORE booth. There, he says, persons can . learn more about the organization and make a donation if they want to. "This area’s handicapped citizens are suffering even more in these days of reduced , government spending,” says ' FORE board chairman H. T. A. Nevill, “and the fact that Rappahannock Hunt wants ‘ to help one of its own is > certainly a gleam of hope at a time when we face great t hardship. It seems the hunt v has taken an important lead in helping those who help « thpmselves.” The Rappahannock pointto-point is the second in a series of races marking one of Virginia’s most popular rites of spring. The eight-race event boasts not only the big Ben Venue race, but also a hound race which, officials say, is a favorite attraction. This year, however, the hunt plans to add another attraction to help the handicapped. That, says Mr. Carter, will be announced later. “We hope to provide a fun and exciting day for all who come,” says Mr. Carter. “It’s an opportunity for families and friends to enjoy some fresh air, fast action, a delicious picnic, and a chance to rally for an organization that helps our county’s special people.” Thornton Hill Farm is located l'/i miles south of Sperryville on Route 522.

Panther Tales By KICHIE BIJRRE and LORI FRYF. The Rappahannock Panthers proved to the Skyline District that they are not a team to be taken lightly. They walked into Stonewall Jackson and handed the Generals their first district loss. “The shot heard ’round the district”, was fired up at the buzzer by Robert Meyers and capped a 53-52 victory for the Panthers. The Panthers hope to keep their winning touch for 3 home games this week; Tuesday the 9th, Thursday the 11th and Friday the 12th. Your presence at these games would be greatly appreciated.

Country Manor Opens New Deli In The Celia When Jimmy Swindler wanted to use part of Country Manor for a delicatessen and pizza parlor, he called a meeting of his board of directors. They were all against the idea, saying that it would add another burden to the already heavy workload which includes a gas station, a craft, gift and furniture shop, a restored log cabin housing an antique shop, a mail order business and a working farm. ‘‘It didn't matter." said his wife, Phyllis, who along with daughters Natalie and Bobbette and son James, Jr., compose the Country Manor board. “He has more votes than us, anyway." So last week, the Finishing touches were put on the delicatessen area and the pizza operation located in the basement of the building and called, appropriately, the Celia’ Deli. Jimmy Swindler already looks at home behind the deli counter and has tried to provide a homey and relaxed atmosphere for people to enjoy their sandwiches and lunch. Furnishing the dining area was no problem: the Swindlers appropriated tables and chairs from their furniture showroom; Phyllis brought over some of her best tables from the Thornton Gap Antique Shop; and a collection of old tools and farming equipment decorates the walls. , ^ “This is something I’ve wanted to do for a lon£ time,” Jimmy said. “I wanted something that would appea to and serve the local people something that would allow us to operate full scale year round, and a service tha . would add something to the 1 county.” When Mike Saccc I and Rex Smith of the Park way Gift Shop dosed their business, it gave Jimmy a perfect opportunity to purchase the equipment belonging to the thriving deli and pizza business at Parkway. Jimmy also hired Mike Sacco as pizza chef to insure the same quality pizza. Mike makes the dough and sauce each day from scratch and eventually hopes to add some other specialties to the menu. “I think I could handle almost any kind of Italian cooking,” Mike told us. “And if 1 can’t, 1 can always call mother.” Mike joked that his pizza was the “cheapest in the county” but even without that distinction it is a good value at under six dollars for a large pepperoni pizza. Besides the special deli sandwiches, salads, and the pizza, the Celia’ Deli offers soup and chili, fresh barbecue and a large selection of gourmet cheeses to take out. Eventually, the owners will offer a continental breakfast with strudel, bagels, and Danish pastries along with coffee. Expansion seems guaranteed for this new facet of Country Manor. "We eventually hope to serve fifty,” Jimmy said. "We can just use more of our furniture as we need it,” he joked. Even the skeptical board members have been won over. Phyllis said, “this is the best thing we have ever done, because it is something for Rappahannock people.” Bobbette is hoping to wait on tables in the restaurant. And when Natalie came home from school the weekend after casting her negative vote, she said, “Wow, Dad, you really did it!” This week the Celia’ Deli i will be open every day from 9:00 to 8:00.

But more than 100 extra people showed up, taking every last piece of drumstick, thigh and breast and requiring last minute substitutions in the menus as the ladies rushed to local groceries to buy peas to supplement the advertised green beans. After all that time in the kitchen, there wasn’t even enough left over to feed the cooks. The members of the auxiliary have expressed appreciation to all those who helped with the dinner through donations or volunteer labor. In addition, they offer apologies to anyone who had to wait or had to settle for peas instead of green beans. “We hope they understand and that they’ll come back and eat with us again,” Mrs. Leake said. The auxiliary, formed just last spring, plans to hold another dinner in April, this time buffet style with enough country ham on hand to feed an army. The ladies are raising money to make improvements in the fire hall kitchen and intend then to schedule regular monthly dinners as fund raisers for the department.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation hi THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1982 Senate Committee Completes Hearings On Increased Gas Tax By SEAN ADAMS Arundel INewnpapern. Richmond Bureau | RICHMOND—The Senate finance committee completed its public hearing Tuesday on a bill that would raise $263 million for the state highway department over the next two fiscal years. The committee is expected to vote Wednesday on the bill, which would establish a three-percent franchise tax on the wholesale price of motor fuel and would raise license and registration fees for cars and trucks beginning July 1. Sen. Edward E. Willey (DRichmond), the committee chairman and the bill's chief sponsor, said he proposed the legislation to aid the beleaguered state highway department, which faces massive deficits in the 198284 biennium. In response to arguments that the bill would raise retail gasoline prices. Sen. Willey said 6il companies "have no logical excuse” to pass on the wholesale increases • to motorists. He said the oil companies would receive great financial benefits from tax breaks included in last year’s federal tax cut. “It's no fun for me fooling around with all these/bills." said Sen. Willey, who also has proposed a bill to raise corporate taxes by $96.2 million. That bill was approved by the Senate Monday. But some committee members, as well as speakers at the public hearing, disagreed with Sen. Willey's view that oil companies would not pass on the increases to consumers. “It is highly unlikely that the oil companies are going to absorb (the increase),” said Sen. Adelard L. Brault (D-Fairfax). As a better approach, speakers urged the committee to increase the statewide gasoline tax—which is 11 cents per gallon at the pump—rather than raising the wholesale price on a percentage basis. The wholesale tax would raise $90.5 million in fiscal 1982-83 and $98.4 in 198384. According to Sen. Willey’s figures, the package of increases would fund a highway construction program equal to only 66 percent of construction spending levels for 1978-80, adjusted fpr inflation. As part of the proposal. THE BLUE AND GOLD SCOUT BANQUET was held Saturday at the social hall of Amissville Baptist Church. Cubs present included Matt Eidson, Eric Lacy, Clint Pennington; second row, Andy Sheffield, Stevie Lillard and Den Leader Deborah Wharton; back row, Robbie Settle and Den Leader Rachael Ramey. -RappclMMock Not** Ptmoa/S. 1 atfc— WEBELO TROOP OF AMISSVILLE participated in the annual scout blue and gold banquet held Saturday night. Attending were, in front, Rodney and Randy Ramey and Webelo Leader Clarence Dodson; back row, Silas Martin, Cubmaster, Wayne Dodson and Neil Curtis. registration fees for vehicles weighing 4,000 pounds or less would be increased from $15 to $19, while owners of vehicles 4,000 pounds or more would pay $24, up from $20. Other fees would go up also. Sen. Willey's original bill was amended last week to raise the maximum weight per truck from 76,000 to 80,000 pounds. Truck trailer lengths would be increased from 55 to 60 feet. Along with the wholesale tax increase, the proposal to allow greater trailer lengths was criticized by the railroad industry and other groups, who said allowing greater weights and lengths would cause more wear on the state’s highways. Virginia Taxpayers Association President Kenneth White criticized Sen. Willey’s bill, saying the state ought to cut back on highway spending instead of raising taxes. m. aiw 'V -W — Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham —Our Rappahannock Heritage -—' Delegates Sponsor Gypsy Moth Bill By SEAN ADAMS Arundel Newspapers, Richmond Bureau Delegates representing Fauquier, Clarke and Rappahannock counties have co-sponsored a House joint resolution that asks the U. S. Department of Agriculture to take action to minimize the spread of the gypsy moth in Virginia. The resolution, cosponsored by Dels. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest Jr. (RWarren) and George P. Beard Jr. (R-Culpeper), requests the department to regulate the distribution of Christmas trees “and other potentially hazardous articles” that may bring the gypsy moth into Virginia. State officials discovered last year that gypsy moths, which have defoliated vast amounts of forest land in the northeastern United States, were carried into Virginia on Christmas trees that were grown in other states. Since it was brought into Massachusetts in 1869, the moth has spread south into Maryland and West Virginia and is expected to begin taking hold in Northern Virginia this year, said Donald Kludy, an official in the pest control section of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. "We’ve just begun to see it begin this year,” Mr. Kludy said of the natural spread of the moth, “so the process has already begun.” Mr. Kludy said the department has found infestations in five locations in Fairfax County, and in areas north of Leesburg, near Lucketts. Infestations have been discovered also in Fauquier County, near The Plains, he added. Former Gov. John N. Dalton, in his proposed 198284 budget, recommended $120,000 to help control the spread of the insect. Mr. Kludy said it is hard to tell whether that will be enough to combat the moth. Mr. Kludy said the moth cannot be eradicated in the northeastern United States, but that its damage can be minimized through the use of pesticides, traps and other methods. The moth does the most damage in its caterpillar stage, he said, which begins in June. Thp House resolution saidlthe moth1, could cause as m'pch as $80 million in damage in Virginia, would harm property and result in losses to tourism and recreation. Mr. Kludy said the most important aspect of the gypsy moth’s infestatiob is that "it’s a people problem." The pest defaces sidewalks, houses, recreational areas and also causes trouble by “attacking the favorite tree in the backyard.” Mr. Kludy said tie state now is weighing a variety of different methods of cornwill jvernbating the insect, ar d "work with local g ments as the areas become infested,’’ through the natural spread of the moth. + + + + Little minds are wo inded by the smallest things. Sportsmen Persecuted To the editor: Concerning the case between the supervisors and the slob hunters, it sounds more like the supervisors versus the legitimate sportsman. That's the group that’s being penalized. Hunting season is predicated upon the number of deer, bear, etc., which is increasingly yearly, not the county. How do you control over-population? A number of county residents depend on this season to supplement their diet. Do we penalize them also? Some have a lot of time and money invested •■•VI* i WU UVII 1 JUJl retrain them to run rabbits. Another misconception is that the slob hunters are from other counties. Rappahannock also has its share. Slob hunters would rather hunt on posted land and at night than hunt legitimately. As one told me, "It's more of a challenge." Legitimate sportsmen working with property owners, game and law enforcement officials would do more to solve the problem than another law. M. L. BUTLER Annandale The first skyscraper in America was the 47-story Singer Building built in 1908 in New York City. Letters To The Editor - More Is Needed To the editor: In your editorial “More Is Needed” regarding control of slob hunters, you ask “How is one warden going to adequately patrol 274 square miles, when the combined force of the sheriff s department and the state police haven’t had sufficient manpower to do the job?” The abuse of Rappahannock's hunting season by a minority of hunters has systematically risen over the last five years, and has finally reached the point where county residents are plain fed up. Here in Wakefield District on my road, the opening week of the season sounded like the 'Tet Offensive in Vietnam. For sheer and continuous explosive force and NOISE, it put our annual 4th of July fireworks display in the shade. Driving down our normally deserted state road was like hitting Washington, D.C. at rush hour; I was trapped often behind two or three vehicles (the majority always non-county sticker or Maryland plates) cruising bumper to bumper at 5 mph. I’d like to report these were convoys of tourists, but many of them were packing enough ordinance to resemble armored personnel carriers. The Board of Supervisors Problem Hunter Committee is a good first step in dealing with this mess. A strong local cased gun ordinance should follow. This brings us back to your enforcement question. Why couldn’t Warden Bankston offer a class to all interested landowners—just prior to hunting season—dealing with major aspects of Virginia Game Commission regulations? Attendance of this training could qualify a citizen for temporary deputizing to perform certain game warden functions during the hunting season to come. A slob hunter who will assault a single landowner in a remote location would think twice when confronted by a courtesy patrol of such deputies. A series of rotating checkpoints at the mouth of major hollows and back roads could be manned by three member deputy game warden teams in vehicles appropriately marked, especially during the first week of the season. Besides welcoming hunters to the area and asking them to obey game laws, the team might distribute a one page handout to alert hunters to local feelings about past abuses. This sort of person-to Set Record Straight To the editor: In order to set the record straight, the facts are: 1. Aug. 20 Junior Eastham reported German shepherds killing his geese and chickens. 2. September 27 at 8 a.m., NOT December 6, Helen Dixon reported a calf killed K by dogs. The calf was buried late in that date since the weather was warm and the incident occurred close to the house. Polaroid close-ups were taken and shown to Mr. Bruce when he finally arrived eight hours later. 3. There were seven adult dogs and nine puppies living under the house, Mr. Bruce informed us. Later this was verified by neighbors. 4. In putting the facts straight I did not feel it was necessary to purchase dog tags in Rappahannock County during 1981 since I nor my dogs were residents of the county in 1981. As was explained to Mr. Bruce my dogs were brought up here in desperation. They would warn us ot anything disturbing the cattle during calving season late September through November 15. As of February 5, almost six months later, part of that kill pack still roams killing whenever possible. 5. If there is no law, let us pass one giving the dog warden authority to pick up “livestock molesting” dogs, not just house pets like I penned for his easy access many years ago. HELEN DIXON person communication could start breaking down the somewhat faceless “We vs. They” barrier of paranoia that both hunters and landowners presently feel at the onset of hunting season. Such a deputy game warden concept would solve your enforcement problem. It presupposes attitudes of cooperation and com munication rather than antagonism, it assumes th it the majority of hunters aie law-abiding sportsmen, an i it would require county residents who are bein; victimized by slob hunters t) stop griping and get activel r involved in face-to-fac: solutions. FREEMAN ALLA More Thanks To the editor: Week before last I attempted to thank all those who helped in the various parts of the Rappahannock Player’s salute to the Christmas season. The attempt was characterized as Sn- impossible task but impossible has more than one degree: impossible, quite impossible and absolutely impossible. I’d forgotten that and I likewise forgot a blanket thanks to the unsung suppliers of cookies, etc., for the climactic refreshments. It’s pretty late but I want to thank them now. I also want to make amends for misspelling Lorrie Young’s name. And lastly, when I wondered aloud if Washington’s 250th birthday was going to be unceremoniously ignored by the town that boasts of its unique connection with our greatest American, I put in my original script the real date: February 22nd, not February 15th, which in itself is an indication of a cavalier (the pun may be forgiven but the intended meaning of supercilious should not be), ho-hum regard for important (in my mind) associations with the past. WALDRON O’CONNOR F«b. 14th, Is St. Valentine's Day Don’t Disagree To the editor: I don’t disagree with the intent of your February 4 •editorial, but I do think you are barking up a fairly distant tree. Iowa has a cased gun law. During a business trip to that state a few years ago, I was able to arrange a pheasant hunt on the side. I learned from that experience that sportsmen can comply with a cased gun law with minimal inconvenience. On the other hand, my personal dealings in Richmond convince me that the General Assembly will not likely enact a cased gun law for Virginia anytime soon—certainly not before the 1982-83 hunting season. Meanwhile, our own Board of Supervisors can adopt a loaded firearms ordinance anytime it wants; the state enabling legislation is already on the books. And I don’t believe that your statement that loaded firearms ordinances are ineffective is accurate. There may be ways around such ordinances, but officials to whom I’ve spoken—for j example. Game Commission/ administrators and the sheriff of Albemarle County—emphasize that they play an important role as part of the solution to the problem. Certainly, most of this year’s big flock of Culpeper and Warren road hunters in our part of Rappahannock were not using Thompson Center Contender pistols; they were armed with plain old ordinary rifles, and the loaded gun ordinance would have applied. So, please let’s do what's possible in the short run before we set off after what we cannot likely achieve for several years. ROBERT T. DENNIS The Little Fox mi i

Cotton Miller Captures Beauty In Frames By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Cotton Miller has led a busy life. She’s been a teacher and a principal, director of Rappahannock’s welfare department, a mother and a partner in the farming operation run by her husband. Brown Miller, on the family’s fields in the shadow of Old Rag Mountain. She’s now retired from all those earlier endeavors but Cotton is just as busy as she ever was. Using the basement of her brick home in the F. T. Valley as an office and shop, she's turned a framing hobby into a framing business, handling as many as five orders a day. "Before Christmas, I was working from sunup until nine or ten at night," she said, shaking her head and clucking at the memory of that pre-holiday rush. "But even during ordinary times, 1 generally make two or three frames a day." A twinkling little grayhaired lady. Cotton’s face is normally creased into a smile as she bustles from the upstairs kitchen where she’s canning enough vegetable soup to feed an army to her downstair’s shop. “Fascinating" is how she describes her work, the same word visitors pick to describe her business. She’s perfectly at ease around the tools of her trade—electric saws, planes, sanders, hammers and glass cutters. One side of the basement is filled literally to the rafters with her stock. Strips of wood hang from the ceiling. Work benches hold more pieces, stacked between trays filled with hardware of all shapes and sizes. The rear of the shop bursts with autumn colors of dried flowers spilling out over the tops of- boxes. Orange Japanese lanterns, the silvery gleam of money plants, brilliant yellows and deep purples of straw flowers—all are left-overs from another of Cotton's business crafts. She used to create dried flower arrangements. Now she uses just a few for wall placques or to add a splash of color on a burlap background encircled by a barnwood frame. Crafts she once focused on now take a back seat to her framing. She still paints and decoupages her little threelegged stools, a long-time county favorite for a new baby gift. And she continues to do a few other decoupage items for friends or old 10% Off all GARDEN through the month of FEBRUARY RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS’ COOPERATIVE k Sperryville 987-8555 customers. But more and more of her working hours are devoted to framing. One corner of her warm and comfortable work area serves as a display wall for the many types of frames she keeps in stock. Bamboo, barn wood apd raw. unfinished wood samples hang between solid gold leaf, gold leaf with panels in a rainbow of colors and a few metal types. Orders awaiting pick-up are scattered around the room, examples of the artistry and professionalism of her work. Frames by Cotton Miller are definitely far beyond the home-made, craftsy level. She’s a perfectionist, maybe even a bit of fussy perfectionist by her own admission, and it was this attention to detail that started her off in the framing business. While she was principal of an elementary school in Criglersville. a position she held for 23 years. Cotton directed the school's annual Thanksgiving supper and bazaar that was sponsored by the local PTA. "We had dried flower plaques mounted on boards that needed to be framed. Now, I'm a very impatient person. When I'm doing something, everything has to be ready. Here we were, just two or three days before the bazaar, and those dried flowers still weren t framed! Just down the hill from the family's farm house was a little cottage, a cottage that became Cotton's first business center. "1 got myself a miter box and at 1 and 2 a.m. in the morning. I'd be out in that cottage trying to cut frames, trying to cut pieces of glass. 1 gave up several times," she admitted. ' But 1 knew I could do it and I did. That was about 25 years ago and I’ve been framing ever since.” That long ago PTA fair did more than uncover a hobby and business for Cotton. "I suggested to my sister—she's a retired school teacher—that she take up picture framing and she really did it!" The sister, who learned the art under Cotton’s direction, now makes her monthly house payments with the money she earns in her framing business. "Of course, she’s on a major road and she never goes anywhere for fear she'll miss a customer," Cotton said.

When I want to go out. I close up shop and just pickup and- leave. For my sister, it's more of an occupation. For me. picture framing is not quite a hobby but it's more like that than an occupation. But I do make money from it,” she added. It’s not the added income that keeps Cotton busy in her shop for 12 and 16 hours a day, however, hustling to fill an avalanche of Christmas orders. “It’s not only the money part of it. I just don’t know what I’d do with myself if I didn’t have all this.” she said, waving her arm around the basement shop. “I really look forward to my shop work. Maybe not quite as much as I do to a game of bridge,” she added, laughing. "But it’s kept me sane!” v' ■ — n rtr 'v r-ttiMr —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham ADEPT WITH A SAW or hammer.

RAA Meeting Scheduled February 18 An organizational meeting for the Rappahannock Recreation Association is scheduled for Thursday, February 18 at 7 p.m. at the local high school, according to Guy Foster. He stressed the importance of this meeting, explaining that officers and directors will be elected and coaches selected. There is a great need for many people to become involved in this group. There are many children who participate in the athletic activities and it takes many leaders to assist with the large groups. This begins the sixth year of the association, which, according to Foster, is getting larger every year, with more youth wanting to participate. Last year in baseball alone, there were 70 children; 43 in last fall's soccer group. In basketball for those in graded 4 through 7 there are 76 participants. The basketball clinic is presently meeting every Saturday from 1 to 3 in the afternoon. Foster said there have been' lots of teenagers acting as leaders or assisting, and are doing an excellent job, but still more are needed. You do not have to be a sports fan especially to help, just come to the meeting and see if there isn’t a niche for you. As the years slip by, the more we know how little we know.

Although Medical science continues to make great strides in many areas, there are still quite a few problems that are not totally understood The common cold, warts, and heel pain are all similar in that respect The most widely accepted theory is that the long plantar ligament which runs from an attachment at the heel to the front of the foot is under an excessive stress This stress may be from obesity, malalignment of the foot (causing excessive distance), or inheriting a short ligament The vast majority of the time we are able to improve or relieve the symptoms, however there are a few instances where the pain occurs over and over again Rest, medications, realignment of the foot and sometimes surgical procedures are all employed One factor to be stressed is that disregarding heel pain makes it more difficult to get under control Bruce I.

By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Rappahannock County High School’s eighth grade basketball team has posted a record breaking season, compiling seven wins against a single loss. "We had seven quality ball players who could have started on any eighth grade team in the district,” said coach Mike Connifey. “It helped because I could substitute in and out to give the boys a rest. But it’s also the reason why our bench . didn’t get more playing time—the first seven were so very talented. Milson French, who coaches both the eighth grade and varsity teams for Strasburg High School, told me it’s surprising to have so many good players at the same time in eighth grade and he’s been around for a long time!” The “beastie” Panthers had a balanced offense with four players alternating as high scorer. “That tells you something about the well roundedness of the team,” Connifey noted. Top scorer, and leading rebounded for the season was center Tommy Jenkins, “a good, solid ball player," according to the eighth grade fcoach. Forward Thomas Rector added 10 the scoring threat. “He’1 '■ great rebounder and a (. shooter,” said ConnUcy. “He drove well. Thomas can really move with the ball.” Floor leader was point guard H. B. Wood. “He set us up on offense,” the coach noted. Troy Jenkins was swing man, playing forward or guard position as needed. “He’s a smart ball player,” Connifey reported.

Mike Brown, Bobby Huff, Michael Starks and Andrew Ellis all provided encouragement and substitution strength from the bench. Eighth grade is where youngsters learn what it means to belong on a team. The kids and their parents may find it hard to understand but a coach has to weigh his desire to play everybody against wanting to win (and boost moral).” Connifey said. He had a few words of encouragement for his nonstarters, recalling that Ken Estes didn’t see much playing time as an eighth grader two years ago but is now starting for the RCHS junior varsity. "So they need to hang in there,” the coach advised, noting that teenage athletes mature at different rates. Started With Win The eighth grade Panthers began their season on December 8 against William Monroe. “It was a really exciting game because we went down by six early. I thought it was going to be a long year but we came back—the same thing happened in all our first three games,” Connifey recalled. Tommy Jenkins was high scorer with 12 points in the 32-21 victory over Wiliam Monroe after Rappahannock grabbed the lead at the half and stayed in front for the rest of the contest. Facing Stonewall Jackson on December 3, "things really looked bad” as the Panthers lagged 10-2 at the end of the first quarter, the coach reported. "But Craig Williams brought us back in the second period, driving in for three lay-ups in a row and then Thomas Rector kept us in front during the second half, ending up as high scorer with 11 points,” he said, to give Rappahannock a 35-31 win. The Panther beasties overwhelmed Page County in their first meeting. 26-19. "But the real surprise came in our second game. We were 5-1 and thought we were in first place in the league but then we found out Page had ______ —Rappahannock News Photo/D Hntchinaon THE 1981-82 EIGHTH GRADE BASKETBALL team’s 7-1 mark was the most wins ever compiled by RCHS “beasties.” This year’s record setters included (front row, left to right! Bobby Huff, Daryck Moore, H.B. Wood, Michael Starks and Craig Williams, (rear, left to right) assistant coach Gary Leake, Thomas Rector, Chucky Jenkins, Mike Brown, Tommy Jenkins, Andrew Ellis, Troy Jenkins and coach Mike Connifey. a 7-1 record,” Connifey recalled. Rappahannock’s eighth graders came out on the court ready to put a lock on their claim to first place. "It was my favorite ball game of the year. We were behind in every quarter but the last—when it counts,” Connifey said. According to the coach the final score of 31-24 doesn’t reflect how close the contest actually was. “It should have been a two-point game but they fouled us a lot in the final minutes and we connected on our free throws.” Deryck Moore was high scorer with 12 points followed by Tommy Jenkins and Rector, each with ten. Connifey noted that the Page coach had assigned his best defensive player to give double coverage to Rector after he began to connect. “With the extra man on Thomas, our other players were able to get free,” he added. In two games against Strasburg, the eighth grade Panthers won handily, 42-20 and 47-21, prompting compliments from opposing coach Milson French. Only Loss Rappahannock's only defeat came at the hands of William Monroe, a team they'd trounced by nine points in the season opener. Rappahannock School Board To Update Six-Year Plan The Rappahannock County Public School System is preparing the 1982-83 update for the Special Education Six Year Plan. This plan includes statements of local policy and procedures concerning special education and related services for handicapped children ages two through twenty-one years. The specific areas to be addressed are: child find activities, least restrictive environment, staff development, parent involvement, personnel and programs projected for the next two years and estimated costs for appropriately educating our handicapped children. Anyone with questions and-or concerns about special education programs in the county should contact Gerald S. Lysik at the School Board Office (987-8773) or one of the Advisory Committee Members: Lee Nettles, Mrs. W. Richard Settle, Mrs. Frances Thornton, Robert Ingles.

The guys were a little nervous.” The Panthers had a “very shakey” 14-13 edge at halftime but fell behind in the final quarter to lose, 27-23. Stonewall Jackson was the Panthers’ opponent in the last game of the season. “I reminded the kids that we’d been down by six in the first game and that they needed to play heads up ball. They really responded. We were able to take an early lead and maintain it to win, 36-27.” Connifey attributed a large part of the credit for the successful 1981-82 season, best ever for an RCHS eighth grade team, to his assistant, Gary Leake. “He's a tremendous ball player,” Connifey said of the former Panther star. “He helped me become a better coach. 1 learned a lot from Gary. And he helped the kids with his demonstrations.” The eighth grade coach is a little cautious about predictions for the future of his players, noting that they won most of their contests by around ten points. “That’s a close game.” he emphasized. "But I have every reason to expect that they’ll do really well. I expect them to be able to hang with anybody when they reach junior varsity and varsity level.” The Special Education Advisory Committee will meet at 10:00 A.M., Thursday, February 11, 1982, at the Rappahannock County Mental Health Clinic located in the Clopton House at Washington, VA.

Board Grants Church School Permit (Continued from Page 1) Outdoor Toilets Used BZA chairman Lee Bird said that during the board’s on-site inspection last week, he had noticed the indoor toilets in the church weren't being used by the school children, reportedly because the indoor system wasn’t approved for school use. Sickels replied that the sewage disposal system needs “certain modifications" to meet requirements for school use. emphasizing that whatever the health department calls for will be done. He added that a special use permit had to be issued first before sanitarian Jack Lockhart would grant a sewer permit. He described Massanova as “a typical rural church serving the needs of residents in the immediate area" and gave the BZA members copies of a letter signed by three adjoining landowners, all in support of the special use permit application. Rev. Lindsey Savage. Massanova pastor, noted as well that James Massie. n iiujv I u i 111 uujviii j > > ■ v church, does not oppose the school and had, in fact, donated land to the church. Sickels continued that the only traffic generated by the school will be one van and three cars in the morning and afternoon, that the proposed use is not hazardous nor in conflict with other neighborhood uses and will not be detrimental to property values. The Christian education given students during the week is substantially the same as that in Massanova’s Sunday school, he said. The church holds that its weekday school is called for by its religious tenets, according to Sickels. Therefore, the special use permit application rightly covers the entire church ministry, he maintained. Conflicting Report BZA member Peter Kramer reported that sanitarian Jack Lockhart denies ever telling Rev. Savage that the special use permit was a prerequisite for a sewage disposal permit. In addition, Kramer said, Lockhart believes that "under no circumstances can REAL ESTATE Emily B. Miller to Douglas K.

He was a retired creamery worker and a member of Culpeper Baptist Church. A native of Rappahannock County, he was the son of Wade Hunton and Annie Cloud Hitt.

Ashton Baines on behalf of the Rappahannock Lions Club was received by Camille Harris, director of Sursum Corda School and Daycare Center at Washington. The $.100 gift will help with operational expenses for the facility which is suffering from the national budget cuts. The school is a non-profit facility. the (existing) drainfield be made large enough to handle the impact of the school." The permit for the existing drainfield was granted on the basis of one day per week services, he noted. Savage acknowledged that the sanitarian had ruled the septic drainfield now in operation inadequate for sewage disposal for the school. “Did he also tell you that the existing system couldn’t be upgraded?" Kramer asked. Savage replied that it was his understanding that Lockhart didn’t know what it would take to meet the school’s sewage disposal needs without a soil analysis and percolation tests. He added that he has not been back in touch with the sanitarian since. “Don't you use the inside facilities at all?" Kramer inquired. Only during recent severe weather, Savage answered. The remainder of the time, outdoor toilets located in the parking lot are utilized. Doris Donald, the only speaker at Friday’s hearing opposed to the special use permit application, read into the record a history of activities relating to the Massanova school, beginning last September when area residents noticed that the church was being used as a school and brought that fact to the attention of the commonwealth’s attorney and zoning administrator. She objected to the issuance of the permit, charging that the church building has no room for expansion and therefore, the school eventually will be moved to the Pentecostal campground further up Route 622. Mrs. Donald pointed out that not a piece of property has been sold on that road since 1980, although four houses have been on the market for at least a year. As to proposed limits on school enrollment, she maintained that the Pentecostal campground had been built without a valid building permit. “It was to be a beautiful church," she said.

I have a problem with what we're trying to consider here." said Kramer. He pointed out that the zoning ordinance allows the BZA to grant a special use permit for schools, both public and private, in an agricultural zone and asked the Massanova representatives if they were w illing to limit their application to just the weekday school. No. replied Sickels. emphasizing that the request included the entire church ministry because the school is part of that ministry. “But we're not permitted to grant those uses because they’re not listed (under special permit uses for an agricultural zone)," Kramer replied. Zoning administrator David Konick agreed that the BZA didn’t have to pass on anything but the new school use since the rest of the activities listed on the permit application were going on prior to adoption of the zoning ordinance and thus already allowed as nonconforming uses. In reply to Mrs. Donald's objections. Konick noted that the permit application applies only to the church property and not to the campground site further up the roadt noting that the camp is owned by a different organization from the group seeking the church school. He pointed out that a court order settling a legal battle over the campground limited its use to 15 days per year and promised to enforce strictly the provisions of that court-ordered settlement. Re-emphasizing that Massanova Christian Academy will comply with all health department regulations on sewage disposal, Sickels noted that adjoining landowner James Massie has indicated he may be willing to grant the church an easement to provide the necessary land for enlargement of the church’s septic drain field. Permits First "There is evidence that you did move in ahead of getting the necessary permits,’’ Kramer said. “I want to ensure this doesn’t happen again.” The start of school at Massanova without a special use permit was not “a frivolous disregard of county law," Sickels countered, noting the on-going discussions at the time with the zoning administrator and commonwealth's attorney. "What constitutes a church was the central issue," he said, adding that the term "church” is not defined in the zoning ordinance. Bird noted that if health department regulations aren’t satisfied, the school will have to close. Kramer added that activities covered in any special The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME Thk Homk of Thoi'chtm’i. Skkvick" I’UON'E K25-?3fil CULPEPER CEMETERY MEMORIALS use permit will have to be limited to the school. "The school is the issue," agreed BZA member Josef Gardiner. "What they decide are their religious activities are none of our business." He reported on a recent account carried in the national news media about a public school in Oregon taken over by a church group after problems with drugs and crime couldn't be controlled. Complimenting the behavior of the Massanova students sitting in the courtroom for three hours of a public meeting. Gardiner suggested that the church group might want to take over Rappahannock's publicschools. His proposal brought wide smiles, head nodding and a round of applause from the audience. Mrs. Donald recalled that Rappahannock students had been equally as well behaved when they sat in on a supervisors’ meeting a few years ago. "You'd have been empressed by the Rappahannock County High School students if you had seen them!" she told Gardiner. "I have a very high regard of what the high school does with what they have." concluded the RCHS substitute teacher. Public schools are not educating students; that's the reason why parents are opting for private institutions, Gardiner countered. In regard to the contention that the Pentecostal school and.-or campground have been detrimental to property values on Aaron mountain, Margaret Settle noted that her husband, a construction worker, has not had employment for four months. "People are not building and they're not buying. It's not our fault." she said of the failure of real estate to sell in the neighborhood. By unanimous vote, the BZA granted Massanova Church a special use permit for a private school with a maximum enrollment of 50. contingent upon health department approval of a septic system that must be in operation by August 30, 1982.

Adults of any age as well as high school juniors or seniors may apply for the program. The applications and information may be received by contacting Piedmont Technical Education Center or by seeing a high school guidance counselor. In addition, applicants will be given a test for basic skills and required to have an interview with members of the nursing staff. A dental examination report must also be filed with the school.

Just before reaching Amissville, the motorist spied the lights again and this time, stopped the car, got out and stared. “They were hovering—not moving—about a mile away. I moved around so 1 could watch against the background of a tree, something solid, but I still couldn’t distinguish any definite shape...1 drove like a bat out of hell to the highway at Amissville but they'd disappeared when I reached 211.” The watcher described the mysterious lights as producing a steady, real orange glow, "like the moon when it's rising or setting but Plea Bargains (Continued from Page 1) Robertson agreed to have Dr. William Young complete a preliminary evaluation of Jackson and advised the accused to cooperate with both the psychiatrist and his attorney. “He’s there to help you,” the judge emphasized. The case was continued until March 18 for a hearing to determine further procedures and Jackson was freed on a $2,500 personal recognizance bond conditional upon his keeping appointments and otherwise cooperating with Dr. Young. Robertson also ordered a psychiatric examination for Harriet P. Newman to be conducted by Dr. Young on an out-patient basis. Newman is charged with three counts of breaking and entering and two of grand larceny. The judge continued charges against the young woman for further hearing on April 15. In a companion case, Baumgardner noted that a plea agreement has been reached with Herman Newman but not yet put down in writing. Robertson set a hearing for arraingment and pre-sentence report for March 8. Newtnan is charged with three counts of breaking and entering and two of grand larceny.

He’s convinced that what he saw was a UFO. “My conclusion," he added, only half in jest, “is that on Route 611, there’s a secret flying saucer base.” (Editor's note: It turns out that the alleged sightings of UFOs are probably "close encounters of the Quantico kind.” The Marine Base's public affairs office reports that war games were conducted on February 6, 7 and 8 which included firing of "eliminations” from an 81 millimeter mortar. According to a Marine Corps spokesman, a flare goes up a couple of thousand feet and pops, releasing a parachute. (The sighting in January is probably attributable to larger flares, “great big cannister jobs” that are dropped in a string from airplanes and burn for three to four minutes at about a half million candlewatts, according to the public affairs office. (“They look like they’re flying in formation. You can see them from everywhere. We can’t say positively but they were probably our flares (sighted in Rappahannock). We get calls like this all the time. The flares can be very disconcerting if you’ve never seen them before.” the spokesman concluded.)
