kjaaruc* School Space And Program Audit Approved By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Rappahannock V***» Staff VI ritcr By unanimous vole last Tuesday night, the Rappahannock school board adopted the “plan for planning" for school improvements presented last month by superintendent Robert Estabrook but with the stipulation that the first step include a program audit and curriculum recommendations for both public schools. The audit will cover “who's teaching what, where, when, to whom, etc., etc..’’ according to board member Robert E^astham who has maintained consistently that an analysis of existing space use, what he describes as a program audit, must be done in order for the board to make an intelligent decision on space needs at the high school. "If that fiata shows me we need to build buildings, you'll have my vote for it," he promised. Once the data is gathered, the next phase — assuming the school board endorses a capital improvements program — is to hire an architect to translate that data into blueprints, a process that should take about six months, according to Estabrook. Then an additional 12 to 13 months would elapse before construction was completed, he said. According to the superintendent's “plan for planning" graph submitted last month, the planning and data gathering phase, from curriculum development through final report to the school board, can be completed in 14 weeks. He emphasized on Tuesday, however, that the time line is only a projection and can be adjusted at any point. “If the board’s decision is ‘yes. we build,’ then we look to funding sources. . . and set limits on how much we’re going to spend." Estabrook said. As part of the program audit that will examine the relative efficiency of space use at both schools, Eastham suggested that the superintendent analyze curriculum. "Are we teaching what we should be teaching?" he asked. Then, said Eastham, Estabrook can offer his recommendations — if any— on course expansion and include the impact of broadening curriculum in a separate program audit as well. Nelson Lane proposed that the board schedule a couple of day meetings at the school to observe actual space use while classes are in session, adding that the supervisors should also be invited to those meetings. Maintaining that he wasn’t trying to postpone consideration of a building program (a subject that has (Continued on Page 4) ~Rappahannock NewaPholo/D.

The committee, composed of three supervisors and Culpeper county ad ministrator Frank Bell, is examining alternative solutions to providing fire and rescue dispatch. "One of the alternatives is maintaining a joint dispatch for both counties,” Rosson reported. “So if Rappahannock doesn’t get compensation board money (for four dispatch positions), the county's not at a dead end—there's one more possibility to explore." Rappahannock's fire and rescue dispatch problems began a year ago when —Aappahaaatcfc News rWD.11 i IF SENIORS ARE BEING measured for cape and gowns, can spring be far behind? RCHS senior Steve Kellison was fitted for graduation attire last week,.a sure sign that June is just around the corner. \ _f Culpeper Fire Department, owners of that county's communications equipment, announced that free dispatch provided to Amissville, Washington, Flint Hill, Sperryville and Castleton would cease as of July 1, 1981. The action came as the result of a system overloaded by the average 2.1 calls per day from Rappahannock, according to the Culpeper fire department. The cut-off deadline was extended as long as Rappahannock explored means of setting up and staffing its own dispatch system. As a first solution, county sheriff W.A. Buntin asked the state compensation board last year for funds to man a local dispatch system but was turned down on the grounds that it wasn’t economically feasible to provide four dispatchers for three deputies. (The compensation board is responsible for paying salaries of dispatchers for sheriffs departments. These dispatchers may also handle fire and rescue calls but that is of secondary importance as far as the compensation board is concerned and accordingly, dispatch staffing requests are evaluated on basis of law enforcement needs only. Rappahannock’s sheriff’s department currently receives free dispatch service from Culpeper’s sheriff's department. In addition to seeking funds from the compensation board, Rappahannock’s fire and rescue association previously asked Culpeper to consider maintaining a joint d'^patch under a contractual arrangement with the county paying a pro-rated share of costs. The proposal was rejected out-of-hand by the Culpeper Fire Department. Now. however. Culpeper’s board of supervisors, sympathetic from the outset to Rappahannock’s plight, has indicated it will provide county-owned com munications equipment for the dispatch center. The supervisors, he said, are ready to reconsider a joint dispatch center with expanded radio equipment and personnel under a contractual arrangement with Rappahannock. Grant Can Be Used Last December, Virginia's Rescue Squad Assistance Fund awarded the county an $11,600 matching grant after the Rappahannock supervisors committed $5,000 as the local share of equipment costs for fire and rescue dispatch. According to Rosson, the grand funds can be used to equip a local dispatch center or applied towards the county’s share of a joint system with Culpeper. On March 19, county respresentatives, including Sheriff Buntin, supervisor Charles Estes and fire and rescue personnel, will again try to secure funds from the state compensation board for dispatch positions when that group holds its budget request session in Warrenton. Social Security Visits Stop The Culpeper office of Social Security will no longer send a representative to the court house in Washington due to lack of local response to those visits. "Most people have found that tiiey can save time and money by calling the office in Culpeper,” said manager Bruce Hundley. He added that the majority of questions regarding social security can be handled over the telephone or by correspondence. Rappahannock County will continue to be served by the Culpeper office at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center, telephone 825-3500. Kindergarten Registration Registration for children eligible to enter kindergarten in the fall of 1982 will be held in the office of the Rappahannock County Elementary School on Tuesday, February 23, and Wednesday, February 24, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. by appointment from the school. All children must be accompanied by a parent or some other adult. If the appointment time given you is not convenient, please call the school (987-8259) for an appointment time more suitable to you. Children must be five years old on or before December 31, 1982 to enroll in kindergartefi in the fall of 1982. Roofs Now Leaking At Both Schools Leaking roofs. Rappahannock's version of the Chinese water torture, continue to plague the county school board. At last Tuesday's meeting, superintendent Robert Estabrook reported that both the elementary and high school roofs are leaking and that the problems “appear to be spreading...It's quite urgent now." he said, adding that he’d received a call that day from elementary principal Mrs. Maggie Piper with news of more leaks. Nelson Lane, appointed by the board as a committee of one to investigate the roofing situation, said he'd been up on both roofs and found materials in good shape, at least at the elementary school. Basically, the elementary school has a new roof—albeit a leaky one—following the replacement of three sections (library, cafeteria and kitchen and classroom wing) by contractor William Otis, according to Lane. But the replacement project, which cost more than $25,000 and took two years, was never completed, he added. Gravel was taken up. holes patched and the entire surface primed and then covered with a coat of sealer. Another coat of sealer and replacement of gravel was necessary to finish but the work was never scheduled. Lane said. “We stopped in the middle of the road,” he said, noting that Otis had the “absolute expectation" of coming back the following year to apply a second coat and regravel the roof. During the inspec*'nn trip on the roof with Otis, Lane said, the contractor took a trowel and patched several leaks, reportedly at no charge. "I think we're looking at minor patching," concluded Lane, basing his contention on the contractor's opinion. He did acknowledge, however, that a rotational maintenance system will have to be kept up with sections of the elementary roof worked on each year to stop and prevent leaks. Leak At RCHS “I’m sorry to say that we’re now getting increased concern from the high school principal about leaks there," the superintendent interjected. Lane added that the RCHS roofing material is much more worn than the elemenlary roof. “It's just like a one-inch deep swimming pool—on both roofs. There's hundreds of gallons of standing water." Eastham, who has raised objections in the past over perpetual roofing repairs, emphasized that the board wanted leaks stopped with work done “at a reasonable, predictable expense.” Estabrook said he will feel more comfortable with a decision on how to approach the leak problem after Lane secures an opinion from a roofing expert he knows in Illinois. “We have a battery of experts who don’t agree," the superintendent said, pointing out what he described as “an absolutely baffling response" from three different contractors who’d inspected the elementary school roof and arrived at different conclusions on both technique and cost. “All three recommended that we rip off the whole roof,” Lane added, noting that only Otis believed leaks could be corrected by patching. "There's an honorable and professional artisan out there somewhere (with a solution to Rappahannock's roof problems),” Eastham countered. “I don't think we've found him yet." After the superintendent supplies a detailed history of roof repairs done to date on both roofs. Lane said he will consult his Illinois expert and have a report and recommendations ready for the next board meeting. “It looks like we have two problems—what to do immediately and what to do in the long term," replied Nancy Reeve, acting chairman in Beverly Massie’s absence. For short term correction. (Continued on Page 10) Local Control Over Development Urged By SEAN ADAMS •\rundrl N»*H*p«prni. Richmond Bureau RICHMOND—Two Rappahannock County citizens urged a House committee last week to approve a bill that would give localities greater control over the rate and location of nonfarm development. Newbill Miller, mayor of Washington and a member of the county planning commission, told the House Counties. Cities and Towns Committee that Loudoun County's proposal is necessary “for us to really do the job of planning." "I live in a little county at the foothills of the Blue Ridge—population 6,300," Miller told the committee, "so we don’t have Loudoun County’s problems. But we don’t want them, either." Loudoun officials proposed the bill to allow local governments to control nonfarm development as outlined in a comprehensive plan and a capital improvements program. Loudoun. with a population of about 57,000 has experienced rapid growth in the last decade and expects the same in the coming 10 years, and is trying to hold down the cost of services by obtaining another growthmanagement tool. Although Miller, a county realtor, said Rappahannock expects to grow, he added. "We want it to be done in an orderly manner, and in a manner that will not depreciate the environment, the agriculture" and other aspects of the county's life. Washington realtor Eileen Day told the committee that the legislation ought to be approved “because it's a much-needed tool in the preservation of farmland”—an important goal in Rappahannock, as it is in Loudoun. “1 think once farmland is lost to housing—once it’s concreted-over—we'll never get it back,” Mrs. Day said. "What 1 like about this bill is the new language that says that we have the right to choose when and where development can take place." The Loudoun bill, which ran into opposition last week in committee, would not only allow localities more control over growth in some areas, but would require that a county make "reasonable provisions" for public facilities in areas designated for growth in comprehensive plans. Because some of Rappahannock's roads are not in very good condition. Miller indicated, the county needs to be able to say that a proposed subdivision cannot (Continued on Page 4) Washington Council Ponders Sign Repairs And Town Hall Renovation A variety of repairs and possible improvements headed the agenda of the February Washington Town Council meeting held the 10th. Mayor Newbill Miller and all council members were present. Council member Dorothy Hawkins expressed concern over the condition of the' street signs, and was eager for action to repair permanently and preserve the wooden signs and posts. According to a report by treasurer Brad Fisher, the books are just beginning to show a positive balance after funds were expended for the new well and its connection to the water system. “Let’s wait another month to take care of this” Fisher suggested to Mrs. Hawkins and other members. ' "It would be a month before the bill would be paid,” she replied. “We must remember," the Mayor interjected, “we’ve just gone from fat cats to lean hounds.” Mrs. Hawkins agreed to bring up the problem at the next meeting, and advised the council that a town citizen had voluntarily made a repair to one sign. Charlie Jenkins reported on the state of the water situation in Washington, saying that, although there had been a great deal of rainfall and the springs were doing fine, he was having to pump water from the well. "We must have lost a lot of water last month," Jenkins said. “There were so many broken pipes from the extreme cold.” A mysterious problem plaguing the town has been the presence of nails on the streets, causing motorists to have flat tires. Taylor Updike reported that they were flooring nails. Some members thought the nails were in some way associated with snow removal equipment. “We had this problem once before.” Miller said. "We had to go so far as to get a truck with a big magnet to come through here. You’d be surprised what they found”. Mayor Miller reported on his meeting with Peter Kramer about the benches which had been taken from the Methodist Church before it became the town hall. Kramer had offered them for the hall. Although the council agreed that they should accept Kramer’s offer, there were still problems to be worked out as to the number which could be used and if there was anv guarantee that the benches would remain in the building. Miller said that in the meeting Kramer had suggested the possibility of forming a committee of townspeople w ho could direct the renovation of the church so that it could eventually be used, not only for town meetings, but for other groups that needed meeting space. "Of course, we would have to make sure that the groups using the church were compatible with the building’s original use," Miller said. “We don’t want to desecrate a church." ”1 think Kramer's idea has merit," Miller continued. “We don’t have many people in this town, or much money, but we do have a lot of talent. I think a committee to study the use of the town hall just might be able to come up with something." “I really like the idea." said Dorothy Hawkins. ‘Tve always wanted it to be fixed as a real town hall." “Will somebody move that such a committee be formed." Miller said. Brad Fisher made the motion, and it was carried uanimously. Miller asked Dorothy Hawkins to be on the committee, along with Peter Kramer and a third person to be named in the future. In other business, the council voted to let the Woman s Club borrow a runner from the town for its fashion show, and took no action on complaints, relayed by council members, that haphazard parking around the courthouse and school buses parked at the corner of Blue Ridge Avenue and Main street presented obstacles to snow removal equipment. The council voted to adjourn about 8:15 p.m.

Their options are usually limited to ending their days in the often bleak, often cold and always unfamiliar environment of a nursing home or moving in with grown children, sometimes to a less than enthusiastic welcome. At Blackwater Creek, two retired couples have rejected both choices and dared instead to embark on a unique experiment in communal living. In December, they moved into a one-of-a-kind three unit complex specially designed for adaptation to the needs of the elderly. Their new home gives them breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains to lighten the spirit. Built on one floor, it has halls and doorways all wide enough for a wheel chair to pass, a wheel chair that none of them requires now but something that may one day be necessary. It has acres and acres of space for a cooperative garden, a garden that will increase their self-sufficiency and provide plenty of opportunity for the exercise that keeps so many country people fit and hale past the time their city cousins have retired to an arm chair. And if the day should come, it has space for live-in caretakers. It wasn’t a spur of the moment decision that led Sid and Margaret Gottlieb and Bob and Sylvia Gowell to Blackwater Creek. The step came only after years of careful thought and planning. When Sid Gottlieb finished a career with the government, he and Margaret sold their Northern Virginia home. For a year or two, they traveled around the world, stopping in Australia and India before returning to the U. S. and college in California where Sid earned his master's degree in speech pathology.

Belts - Bags - Parts • 825-1896 do something different to prepare for the rest of their lives but it wasn’t until they discovered Rappahannock County that the idea for Blackwater Creek Homestead began to take shape. Semi-Retirement They had decided already to settle in the country where they planned a semiretirement that was to include work for Sid in speech therapy and for Margaret in her field of tutoring youngsters with learning disabilities. Their roots were in the Washington. D. C., area and so they began a search for rural property there, establishing a base of operations at the Fairfax home of Sid’s cousin, Sylvia Gowell and her husband Bob. The four friends spent long hours talking of plans for the future and the Gowells were caught up in Sid and Margaret's dream of a selfsufficient old age. After settling on Rappahannock County as their home for the rest of their lives, the two families first considered buying a piece of land and building two separate houses. But the option was dismissed as too exnensive and not reallv an answer to the problem of how to cooperate in caring for each other as they grew older. They decided instead on one house but the question then lay in how communal did they want to be. Did they want to share a kitchen and face each other over eggs and coffee every morning? Communal cooking facilities, they realized, meant splitting grocery bills, hassling over dinner menus and debating the division of labor for meal preparation and clean-up. Hashing and rehashing potential conflicts, the couples decided on separate apartments in one house with a spacious common living room. In consideration of cost factors, they opted for quarters for three, believing their idea to be a wave of the future that would attract another compatible couple. Between them, the Gottliebs antf Cowells have 16" grandchildren plus the children that produced those progeny. The house had to be big enough to accommodate the extended families of both as well as any offspring of a third couple—if not at the same time, then at least on a rntqtinn Hacic In deciding how they could make themselves as selfsufficient as possible, the four organizers determined that their home had to incorporate solar heating and cooling concepts. In addition, the house had to include room for a caretaker or nurse they might need as they grew older, a luxury too expensive for a single couple to afford but something well within the financial reach of three. With at least a general concept of how they would live and where they settled by purchase of 50 acres near Boston, they tackled the actual design phase of their dream. Sid wrote to architects across the country, looking for information on how other groups had worked out similar arrangements. He found nothing. Certainly, there were condominiums for the elderly and retirement villages but all on a grand scale compared to the requirements of three couples. "We couldn’t find anyone who'd heard of people doing what we were contemplating.” he recalled. ATTENTION TAXPAYER the Rappahannock County Equalization Board Will sit for hearings for the purpose of equalizing real estate assessments on February 24th, 25th and 26th from 9:30 cun.jintil 4:00 p. m._ Appointments may be made by calling the office of the Commissioner of the Revenue at 675-3513 _ Eileen Day, Secretary So with just the bare bones of an idea, the Gottliebs and Gowells advertised a design contest, soliciting ideas from architectural firms throughout the Northern Virginia area and beyond. Chance Meeting While awaiting finalization of their dream, Margaret and Sid bought a little place at the foot of Red Oak Mountain in Woodville. Enamoured of the panoramic view of Rappahannock from its crest, they often hiked to the top, spending afternoons walking while they talked of their plans for Blackwater Creek Homestead. On their way down one early evening, they were joined by a young man wheeling his broken bicycle back to Woodville from his home on the mountain. Sam Clifton listened to their ideas for an energy efficient, communal home that would fit their needs into old age and then asked if he and his partner, Ken Ritvo, could submit a design. The Gottliebs encouraged their Red Oak neighbor to enter the competition and lent him Sid’s bicycle. But when they didn’t hear from Clifton and weeks stretched into months, they forgot about his interest in their project. Then just a day before the design competition deadline, Ritvo and Clifton brought in a set of blueprints. “And they won—hands down!" Sid reported. Neither of the two men was an architect but they’d gained experience in solar heating techniques building sun spaces to go around Rappahannock Hot Tubs, a business venture formerly based in Flint Hill. "We gave them a rough assignment.” Sid said. “Each of the three separate apartments had to have a south facing front (to absorb solar heat) and a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west. And the house had to be tight. We wanted a minimum of air infiltration and a maximum of insulation so that any heat would be held in whether it came from the wood stoves or from the sun." "We were willing to spend 12 times the anticipated first year energy savings to prevent heat loss or to give us an energy gain.” added Bob Gowell. Tiered Design To satisfy requirements for a southern exposure and western view, Ritvo and Clifton decided on a tiered design to provide good solar access on the 1,000 square feet of private living space in each of the three apartments. Floor to ceiling windows of exolite let in the sun's warming rays while window quilts on every window and sliding glass door seal onto weather stripping around the frames to prevent any of that precious heat from slipping back out when the sun goes down. The exolite used for both windows and solar panels admits ultra-violet rays as well as heat so that it's possible to get a suntan indoors at Blackwater Creek Homestead. “We have a little private joke about having to give our guests sunglasses before they can see!” Sid added. As the light and heat beams in. a portion of the warmth is absorbed by the dark tiled floor and given back at night. But in order for this passive solar feature to work, the floors must remain bare. “I’m so used to rugs. It’s a little difficult accommodating to the tile,” admitted Sylvia Cowell. But far from creating a chilly, inhospitable atmosphere, the deep colors of the tile, warm to both the eye and the touch, combine with the brilliant sunlight to give — Rappahannock New* Photo/D. Hutchinaon BLACK WATER CREEK HOMESTEAD is designed in three tiers, each a separate apartment with a south face for solar access and a western view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. the effect of summer indoors while the temperature outside dips below the freezing mark. Wanned By Sun Both finished apartments have woodstoves but since December, neither couple has had to rely much on the back-up heating source. Bob Gowell noted that on a recent morning, the temperature inside their apartment was 60 degrees when they arose and by 9:30 had warmed to 70 degrees. The sun was out and so they didn’t light a fire all day. "It got up to 76 degrees in here. At sunset, 1 started a fire and burned wood for about four hours. That's all! In the meantime, the temperature outside ranged from minus give to a high of 20 degrees." The three apartments flank 2,400 square feet of common space divided into a large living room complete with fireplace, mini-kitchen and piano, five guest rooms with two connecting baths, and a sauna. Behind the mini-kitchen is a storage area fitted with necessary electrical and plumbing connections for transformation to a central kitchen. Two of the guest rooms with a bath are situated so (hat can be converted into an apartment for the caretaker or nurse who may be needed at some point in the future. The only active solar heating apparatus in the house consists of an electric fan that pulls warm air heated through solar panels on the front of the building back to the common living room. This thermo-syphon system also pulls cold air through vents on the living room floor to the front where it is warmed by the solar panels. The same arrangement works in reverse during summer months to cool the common space. And the insulation that holds heat in winter will keep heat out in summer with a little help from a sun shade designed to block out direct rays. Solar heat is supplied to the north facing guest rooms by a high ceilinged hallway topped by exolite windows. The hallway wall absorbs heat which in turn warms the bedrooms on the other side of it. The thermo-syphon system connected to the solar heating panels also adds warmth and the guest rooms are supplied with electric baseboard heat for emergency use when the sun hides behind a cloud bank and refuses to cooperate. The entire structure is built on an eight-inch concrete slab that Ritvo expects to absorb heat all summer for release next winter when the temperature begins to drop. Low Maintenance Although the initial investment in Blackwater WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAV Greatest Bargains for the Entire Family. Like George, We Never Told A Lie! LERNER’S DEPT. STORE Creek Homestead was significant—about $400,000 for land and house—the innovative solar concepts incorporated into design should bring monthly maintenance bills for utilities and taxes down to around $100 apiece for each of the three couples. “We’re extremely pleased with the performance of the place from an energy point of view. It's exceeded our expectations,” Sid said. “The first day we moved in, Margaret looked around and announced, ‘This is what I dreamed about’!” "Do you feel you’ve had to give up anything for the solar application?” Ritvo asked. “Margaret will say it limits her use of rugs!” Gottlieb joked. “It's also given us a very bright environment,” added Bob Gowell. Questioned as to how often they have to resort to backup wood heat, Gottlieb replied that he and Gowell have cut and stacked ten cords. “We hope to get away with using half that much. We figure a couple of cords per each apartment, maybe six total for the whole house, and that’s the absolute maximum” “You have to look at the entire house as a solar collector rather than just looking for something on the house that collects solar heat," Ritvo emphasized. Ken and Sam Clifton never doubted that their design would function but they had questions initially over how the concept of communal living with an eye toward future old age care would work. They are now believers. Both men have maintained a close relationship with the Gottliebs and Gowells. They’ve witnessed how the unique concept at Blackwater Creek allows for both privacy and inter-action with just the right ^amounts of each. For Risk Takers Communal living—even with a sound-proofed, totally independent and private apartment for personal space—isn’t for everyone. The Gottliebs and Gowells have had this message brought home again and again as they’ve waited for the third set of partners for their adventure. “We’re still looking for a third couple. I think it takes an unusual person to go for this type of thing.” Sid acknowledged. "They have to be risk takers,” Bob added. "Most of the people we’ve talked to want a guarantee that we'll always get along. We can’t guarantee that. In fact, we can guarantee just the opposite—that we won’t always get along. But we can also guarantee that we can work out our problems." KER05UN Oocous* you don't hovo monoy to bum. AlP EQUPMENT CO.. INC. 636-9720 6JAR0 m ROAO FMNT MYAl, VA.

Glimpses Of The Private Life Of General Washington By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer Every school child knows a few things about George Washington—that he admitted to chopping down a cherry tree, that he led the Revolutionary Army to victory after serving without a salary for eight years, that he was the first president. But these facts reveal little about the personal side of a man who was tremendously complicated. Like most public men of this time, George Washingtons personal life was very well documented with letters, journals, notes and observations that kept as many as four secretaries busy at one time. From these volumes it is interesting to try to guess what the General was really like. Here in Rappahannock County we know that Washington surveyed the town of Washington, when he was working as a young surveyor’s apprentice in the Shenandoah Valley. We may also wonder why the boy had to work for a living. He was the son of a wealthy planter who had estates in Gloucester County and on the east side of the Rappahannock as well as the famous property at Mount Vernon. The truth is that Washington was one of ten children by his father’s two marriages and his father’s death when George was ten left him restless and a little confused about his place in the family. He lived first with his halfbrother Augustine, then with his mother, then with his half-brother Lawrence. Building? •Paint v •Lumber ' •Millwork •Hardware ~ Complete One Step' BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By Pass Warrenton 347 1400 This moving about made his schooling erratic: he did have several years of scholl but did not go to England or to the College of William and Mary to finish his education as might be expected of a young man of his class. His meager schooling showed that he had a good head for math and logic, but by anyone’s standards, he was a terrible speller. Some ofhis creative spellings are: blew for blue, lye for lie, oyl for oil. Historians sometimes excuse him on the grounds that he was using oldfashioned spellings, but contemporaries like Alexander Hamilton and Ben Franklin used our spellings of these words. The fact that Washington, a grade-school dropout, had the logical, mathematical, and writing ability that he did says something about the schools of the time and the amount of decorum and diligence expected in the Washington home. Oldest Child Young George’s position as the oldest of his mother’s six children weighed heavily on him after his father died. Before signing on as a surveryor’s apprentice at the age of 16, he hatched a scheme to work on a British man-o-war and went so far as to obtain a midshipman's commission and to have his baggage put on board. But last-minute pleading by his mother and her refusal to approve this scheme kept him from embarking on a career in the British navy. Washington's relationship with his mother had its ups and downs. While there is no doubt that there was a very strong bond between the two, she saw him all her life as a child. When he was suffering terrible deprivations as commander of the Revolutionary Army at Valley Forge she wondered in letters to her other children why he did these things to worry her. After the patriots’ victory, when her son was the most famous and beloved man in America and known throughout the civilized world, she said to Lafayette: “I’m not surprised at what George has done: he was always a good boy."

REALTOR PERSONAL OR REAL PROPERTY? wnen a home is sold, the question often arises: ‘‘What stays with the house as part of the purchase and what property goes with the buyer?” Real estate is usually defined as the land and everything attached to it. such as: buildings, trees, shrubs, etc. The buyer normally gets all of the real estate, but none of the owner’s personal property. The problem arises when personal property has become a part of the real estate. This is called a fixture and doe* pass with the real estate. There are three usual test which must be satisfied. Has the personal property been permanently annexed to the real estate' Is it intended to become part of the real estate? And finally, what is the local custom? Usual fixtures might include: shades, heaters, ranges, screens, storm windows, lightning fixtures, etc. It is important that the seller spell out specifically in his sales agreement exactly what he intends to give to the buyer as pan of the real estate.

He collected maxims and rules for living that appealed to him and copied them in a notebook under the reading: Rules of Behavior in Company and Conservation.—Some of these rules: —Show not yourself glad at the misfortune of another, though he were your enemy. —Let your discourse with men of business be short and comprehensive. —Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagement of any. —In your apparel be modest, and endeavor to accommodate nature rather than to procure admiration. Exceptionally Strong Descriptions of the young Washington’s appearance are full of admiration. At 6’3”, he was way above the normal height of the time. He was a large-framed man, both muscular and graceful. His strength was considered to be exceptional, and although we associate with him a certain cultivated formality, he had a great love of horses and sports, was outdoors much of his early life and was at home in the wood and mountains. Tradition says that he used to throw rocks across the Rappahannock at the Fredericksburg ferry—an amazing distance. Use Cheese To Cut Down On Food Costs My THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock >«*w* Staff V ritcr This winter’s distribution of surplus cheese reminds us that times are hard, especially for those on a fixed income. With food costs rising daily, American families and senior citizens are finding that, unless they raise and butcher their own meat, protein in its various forms is the highest-priced item in their grocery cart. And, although many Americans who exist mainly on a fast-food diet may be getting far more protein than they need, rural people trying to save money by preparing meals at home from last summer’s vegetables supplemented by low-cost meat like fatback or salt pork may not be getting the protein necessary for small children to grow properly or for older people to remain active and energetic At first glance, cheese may not seem to be economical. At around $2 a pound it's more expensive than many kinds of meat. But it takes only one two-ounce slice of cheese (one-eighth of a pound block) to supply nearly onethird of your daily protein requirement. This is because cheese is from 18 to 36 percent protein - many, many times higher than the percentage of protein in milk. Rural housewives who have made their own cheese know why: it takes at least a gallon of milk to make a pound of cheese. For those using cheese to cut back on food costs, it makes sense to think of cheese as a meat substitute. Rather than combining cheese with meat in dishes like cheeseburgers or bologna-cheese sandwiches, try planning meals where cheese, in combination with bread or other forms of grain, will be your main course.

More likely it was his friendship with the family of Lord Fairfax who had huge estates in the Shenandoah Valley. It was during this assignment that young George is said to have surveyed the town of Washington. One experience during this period in a country inn (could it have been here?) convinced him to sleep outside when he stopped for the night, and showed that this rather dignified young man could enjoy a joke on himself. “Worked hard till night, and then returned. After supper we were lighted into a room; and I, not being so good a woodsman as the rest, stripped myself very orderly and went into the bed, (as they called it), when to my surprise, I found it to be nothing but a little straw matted together without protein contribution of cheese in your diet.

Had we not been very tired, I am sure we should have not slept much that night. 1 made a promise to sleep so no more, choosing rather to sleep in the open air before a fire.” Mysterious Love It was during this time that Washington mentioned a certain “lowland beauty” in several of his letters. Historians have argued about the identity of this lady but we do know from his letters that his affection was not returned. After several years of worrying about bills and always living slightly beyond his means, he married the richest woman in Virginia, Martha Custis, the widow of John Parke Custis. Some researchers have tried to prove that he married Martha for her money but their letters show a strong mutual affection even after years of marriage. Martha was short and round and given to wearing preposterous hats in an effort to make herself look taller. But by all accounts she was a loving and capable woman, a mother who doted on her children. She was not given one 8 or 9-inch pie crust Remove crust from oven and fill with: one sliced onion, fried three-fourths pound sliced cheese Cover the cheese with: 2-3 tomatoes, sliced Sprinkle over the top of the tomatoes: 2 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons oregano pepper to taste Bake 350 degrees for about 10 minutes until cheese is melted. Let cool slightly. to pettiness or gossip in fact, her discretion was so noticeable that it was frequently mentioned by visitors to Mt. Vernon. When Washington was at the front, so was she, a great deal of the time. Loving Father The father of our country became a loving and devoted father to his wife's children. While some biographers say that Martha tended to worry too much about her children, it’s easy to see why. Of her four, two died in infancy and a third, her daughter Patsy, was never in good health. Washington worried about the little girl and, unable to have any children of his own, took Patsy for various cures at springs and baths. When she died in 1773 he was heartbroken, and wrote in his diary: “The Sweet Innocent Girl entered into a more happy and peaceful abode than she was met with in the afflicted path she has hitherto trod. It is an easier matter to conceive than to describe the distress of this family over the death of dear “Patsy” Custis. “Martha’s remaining son, John Parke, married and came to live at Mt. Vernon with his wife and four children. When he died at 27, the Washingtons adopted the two younger children. Throughout a long life that saw battle with French and British soldiers as well as Indians, and an exposure to smallpox, Washington remained extremely healthy as well as unusually lucky in avoiding physical harm. An Indian who shot at him from a distance of no more than 15 steps and somehow missed him returned to tell his tribe that the large man had magic powers. At the age of 67, several years older than most men of his time could hope to live, Washington still rose at 4 a.m. and rode the distance around his large holdings every day about 15 miles. Killed By Cure What enemies, age and natural disasters could not do to this strong man was done by well-meaning friends. Historians speculate that it was the cure that may have Filled Washington rather than the disease. We have a rather lengthy account of his death by Mr. Tobias Lear, Washington’s secretary, who was there throughout the day-long ordeal. Mr. Lear recorded these treatments for the man wo had, up until that morning, been in perfect health: —molasses, vinegar and butter put in his mouth, repeatedly, even when the General gagged and could not swallow. —blood taken from his arm a total of four different times in less than ten hours, an average of about a pint each time even though, as Mr. Lear observed, “no effect was procured by it.” —potions of vinegar, sage tea, calomel and tartar administered, even though, as Lear said again, he could not swallow. When Washington could talk, he, in effect, asked the doctors to leave him alone ("Let me go off quietly) and then asked if he had taken care of everything that would be necessary when he died. Lear assured him that all was in order, but that he certainly was not dying. According to Lear, “He observed, smiling, that he certainly was.” And, as usual, the General was right. So it was that he died on a Saturday, December 14th, 1799, less than a day after he became sick, with a sore throat.

LYNNE BAINES Tuesday Morning The clock is striking 4 a.m. Most seventh graders are awakening. They have to arrive at school by 5:30 in order to catch the bus tor Williamsburg. It is supposed to leave at 6:15, but by 6:30. there is only one of the two buses we need. The brakes of the other bus had frozen and all that was at the school was half-awake seventh graders, frantic chaperones, and one bus. A relief bus finallyarrived by 7:30 and we were on our way. About 10 we got to the rest stop. Since there was no time to go to Cape Henry, we went on to Old Jamestown, the Glasshouse, and Jamestown Festival Park. It was snowy and icv and hard to w alk. We loaded back on the buses and drove to the Information Center in Williamsburg to see \he movie “A Story of a Patriot”. Then we checked into the Cascades at the Motor House. After we got settled in we walked over to the cafeteria and had spaghetti for dinner. It was good but kind of soupy. After dinner we went to the Williamsburg Wax Museum. All in all it was fun and we learned a lot. Kristi Pendleton ana c naa near Wednesday Morning We woke up in the morning at about 6:30. By 6:45 we had about eight people in our room playing nerf basketball. There w as no ice so the ice bucket was filled with potato chips. Empty Mr. Pibb and Coke cans were all around. We went to breakfast and sat with anybody we wanted. One special thing about the cafeteria was one lady was super fast w ith the dishes. We went to the House of Burgesses. It was pretty with round windows and really big rooms. I enjoyed that the most. We went to shops like the Gunsmith and we also went to see a cooper at work making barrels. My favorite thing in the morning was the huge colorful Bruton Church with big round windows and pews. Then we ended the morning with lunch at the cafeteria. Chip Russell Wednesday Afternoon The Powell-Waller house was an example of a house in colonial times. It was interesting. and we asked> many questions. The parlor was the most interesting, especially the pipe tool. We next toured the Capitol, We were able to go to the pillory and saw the jail. We also toured the old Courthouse. We saw the place where the House of Burgesses met in sessions; above it was the Governor's Council meeting room with fine furniture The College of William and Mary was enjoyable. We sat where the teachers and students sat for their classes. They told us it was strenuous work for the students to work from dawn till dark, except to break for lunch. Next, we went to the Governor's Palace pretending that we had a petition for the governor. We were amazed at all the guns and swords in the first room when you enter. We met Lord Dunbar's clerk and gave him the petition. Finally, we went shopping. My group went to the bookstore, Rose’s, candy store and ice cream parlor. Jonathan Watson Wednesday Night “Whoa. watch out; Crash!" It was slippery going all night. We finally got to the bus. It took us about five minutes to get settled and quiet! The first stop was The Fife and Drum building. There we experienced some 18th century colonial dancing. Everyone enjoyed watching their classmates and friends try very hard to dance the colonial way. What an experience it was. As we walked out of the building, we heard several puffs, pants, and large sighs of relief. "What next?" we said to ourselves. We then reached our destination, the courthouse. We received our lanterns and started on the tour. The tour consisted of four shops; the Milliner's shop, the Apothecary. the Book bindery, and the Printers Press. In the dress shop we received information on the dresses, hats, and shoes worn m the- -1800’s. Next stop was the apothecary shop which in those days was a drugstore and hospital combined. We went to the book bindery. There we saw many different ways to bind a book and the tools involved. After that we went to the printer’s press and saw the process in which a newspaper was made and the machinery involved. After the tiring walk, but fun experience, we headed back to the motel. Sad but true, this is the last night. We had many funny experiences, but we learned a lot. Denice Eidson and Heather Blevins Thursday Morning 6:45 we reluctantly crawled out of bed. One by one we took showers. At about 7:10 we met in the hall to walk over for breakfast at the cafeteria. After breakfast we walked back to our rooms and packed. At 8:15. the teachers came and checked to see we didn’t take any towels or mess up the rooms. We didn’t. At 8:30 we loaded the buses and were on our way to our state’s capitol, Richmond! A little bit before 10 we reached our destination. We were early. We got off the buses in front of the capital. There were statues of our founders. We entered the building after the guard checked our things. It was really big and pretty inside. In the middle of the Rotunda there is a lifesize marble statue of George Washington. We saw the modern-day House of Delegates and Senate. The tour of the capitol was over. We went outside and saw Chuck Robb’s house, Virginia’s Governor. We then walked to Stanley’s Cafeteria. After lunch, we loaded the buses and went to the Science Museum. They had lots of future video games. They had a computer doctor. The weather was getting worse at home, so we left early and went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. We quickly saw the exhibits and headed for home. On the way home we played cards and sang songs. We arrived at RCES one hour early. The weather here was terrible. Finally, after calling all our parents, we left one by one. That was the end of our fascinating trip. Ritchie Adams, Lee Baines, Rodney Grimsley Girl Scout Cookie Sales Campaign Ends Feb. 22 Girl Scout troops in Rappahannock join those across the state and nation in the annual cookie sale campaign, the proceeds of which finance troop activities. The last day that cookie orders may be placed is Monday. February 22. Special programs are financed through these funds as well as normal operating expenses, camps and training programs for all age groups. To achieve all of this, the Girl Scouts of the Virginia Skyline Council of which Rappahannock is a part, must sell 548.000 packages of cookies, or an average of about 46 packages per girl. During the cookie sale campaign, some of these young ladies were asked what the scouting program in Rappahannock had done for them. These are some of the replies: Debbie Helmer: “Girl Scouting helps me discover the world beyond Rappahannock County." Shandra Eldred: “Girl Scouting helps me escape and be with people my own age." Tara Fisher: "It has enabled me to do things I otherwise would not have the chance to do. such as backpacking and camping." Tammy Wilson: "I think Girl Scouting helps me learn about new people and other cultures.” Kim Helmer: "The Wider Opportunity Program sent me to Wyoming and I got to meet girls from all over the United States." Wendy Stringfellow: "To me Girl Scouting is having chances to help other people like the time we went to the recreation program for retarded and handicapped people in Culpeper." Christine Rustic: ‘‘Girl Scouting is being able to experience meeting new people." But perhaps the best answer of all came from Jane Kidwell. who said. ‘‘Girl Scouting is finding out more about yourself and other people and becoming more independent." Local Control (Continued from Page 1) be built in a certain area “because the access to it is impassable." Such authority is not clearly granted to localities under present law, Miller added. Del. C. Richard Cranwell (D-Roanoke) said last Friday that he doubted the Loudoun proposal would be approved by the committee this year. Instead, he said it would most likely be studied for another year before the assembly takes up the proposal again in 1983. Cranwell is chairman of the subcommittee that has been considering Loudpun's proposal, as well as others. — Rappahannock Nr~« Pho«o/D*phnf Hiitrhinmn 'Our Rappahannock Heritage BZA Finds More Zoning Questions By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff I ritcr Conflicts in the county’s zoning regulations were highlighted in a variance request considered bv the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals on February 5, prompting the BZA to table the application, pending legal advice. At issue at the meeting was a request from Wayne Jenkins for a variance on side setback regulations. The county’s zoning ordinance requires a minimum of 50 feet sideyard set back for single family residential structures on agriculturally zoned land. Jenkins told the BZA that he holds a sales contract for a tot on Route 626 near Washington that is 95 feet wide at its widest point. “It will not meet the side setback requirements for issuance of a building permit," he said, noting that the lot was recorded prior to the 1973 adoption of the zoning ordinance. The ordinance limits granting of a variance to situations in which strict application of zoning regulations would produce undue hardship. It further specifies that such hardship must not be shared generally by other properties in the area; that authorization of the variance must not change the character of the neighborhood or be detrimental to adjacent property. In regard to hardship, BZA chairman Lee Bird asked if Jenkins would be able to develop the lot without a variance. No Hardship "It’s not big enough to farm...If I don’t get the variance. I’m not buying the lot so in that respect, I can’t say it's a hardship,” he replied. As to whether the condition is shared by other properties in the vicinity, Jenkins said that the lot he has contracted to buy from David Farrar, Warrenton, is one of seven very long, very narrow parcels. He noted the general area is residential with all seven lots surrounded by the old Whippoorwill farm. “What I intend to build there would certainly improve the character of some of the surrounding area.” he said. BZA member Peter Kramer pointed out that at least four of the narrow lots have houses, staggered front to back rather than lined in a row, construction that "avoids a sense of congestion.” While refusal to grant the variance would not work a hardship on Jenkins, he maintained, it would produce a hardship for Farrar, current owner of the property. Addressing whether Jenkins’ application meets the variance criteria, James Marshall, who lives near the ‘lots, noted that the area where the lot is located has a "notoriously low" water table that has resulted in numerous well failures. He described the area as "substantially agricultural" where no new structures have been built in the past 70 to 80 years. The neighborhood also has a sewer problem, he said, and the lot is served by a gravel road that the Highway Department is already unable to maintain properly with current traffic levels. He questioned whether the grandfather clause would apply at all in this case since it is designed to protect the vested interests of property owners at the time an ordinance is adopted, not the profit margin of someone who knowlingly buys an unbuildable lot years later. Marshall also maintained that hardship for variance purposes applies to owners of record. Hardship can’t be claimed, he said, if such hardship is self-inflicted or entered into voluntarily. Bird noted that the zoning ordinance allows for one single family dwelling to be built on each lot of record that existed when the ordinance was adopted, provided health department requirements are satisfied. In response, Jenkins presented health department permits for well and septic field. Adm. Josef Gardiner described the situation as a ploy to open the seven lots of Route 626 to development and proopsed that the variance application be denied. Proper Variance Subject Chairman Bird read into the record a letter from commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, holding that Jenkins’ request “constitutes proper subject matter for the issuance of a variance,” provided that the applicant meets the burden of proof on satisfying variance criteria listed in the zoning ordinance (hardship. character of neighborhood, etc.) Marshall countered that the criteria remain unsatisfied on two points: further development will draw down an already lowwater table to the detriment of adjoining landowners and any hardship involved is selfinflicted. Kramer asked for proof that installing a well on the lot would jeopardize neighboring water supplies, noting that Jenkins already has a well permit from the health department. "It can be documented only by getting signed affadavits” from adjoining landowners who have had wells repeatedly run dry, Marshall responded, adding that it's “common sense" that a new well will lower the ground water table even Green Line* Zoning administrator David Konick reported on a question as to zoning designation of the lot involved in the variance request. Zoning maps show a green line around all seven of the long, narrow parcels with a penciled-in notation of “proposed districts only. The same green line is used to identify three zoning categories—residential, residential subdivision and residential business, he noted. The green lines have never been clarified. Konick added, judging that the designation of “proposed / districts” plus a pamphlet i entitled “Rappahannock ' County. Past, Present and Future” were originally intended to meet code requirements for adoption of a comprehensive plan. Therefore, the zoning administrator said he ha> concluded that the seven lots are still zoned agricultural since no record of a rezoning exists. Bird maintained that the two ordinance provisions —the first allowing one single family residence on lots of record at the time the ordinance was adopted provided health department regulations are satisfied and the second requiring a finding of hardship in variance requests—appear to be inconsistent. “Mr. Lockhart (health department sanitarian Jack Lockhart) is the health department and I don't feel I have any basis to challenge his findings,” Konick continued. But, he noted, if Jenkins can’t find water on the property, he can't get an occupancy permit. "So I’ve suggested that he drill a well first (before building a house) and make sure he has water for a septic system." the zoning adminisrator said. He also noted that any building permit issued in conflict with zoning regulations is null and void, pointing out that side setback requirements are part of those regulations. "I don't think we can act on this today." Bird stated. “I think we need to consult with counsel (to determine which section of the zoning ordinance prevails)." The board voted unanimously to table Jenkins' variance request and in a second unanimous vote, agreed to subpeona Farrar to appear at the next BZA meeting to clarity the hardship issue. Robinson Confirms Running In "82 At a news conference held last Friday in Charlottesville. Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson confirmed that he will seek re-election this fall as congressman from Virginia's 7th district. “My prime reason for deciding to become a candidate again is my feeling that, through experience and seniority. 1 may be able to contribute in an effective way to the success of the President's program for ftscally-responsible. efficient, non-oppressive federal government and for the improvement of our national defense in what I am convinced is an era of great danger for our country,” said the six-term veteran of the U. S. House of Representatives. Robinson is expected to run unopposed. George Gilliam, Democratic chairman for the 7th district, said last month that his party probably will not field a candidate to face Robinson. In his announcement last Friday, Robinson pledged that he will cover the 7th district fully during the course of the campaign, speaking frankly on national issues. "I want to emphasize, however, that campaigning will be subordinated to my congressional duties," he concluded. + + + + Found in the Earth's crust, silver is nearly a million times more scarce than aluminum and 40 times more abundant than gold, National Geographic says.

Estabrook countered that he doesn’t envision the program audit and recommendations on additional course offerings as being his "own personal plan” and intends to solicit assistance and comment from administrators, teachers and advisory committees. He assured Eastham that he could take on both data gathering related to school improvement and work on a proposed operating budget for 1982-83 at the same time. After at least a half-hour of discussion on exact wording of the motion, the board endorses Estabrook’s "plan for planning" with the stipulation, supported by the superintendent, that it include current program audit, curriculum analysis and recommendations, and the effect of curriculum changes on (hat audit.

New Gallery To Specialize In Rappahannock Art By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock News Staff Writer With the opening of the Middle Street Gallery in Washington, Dan Lewis and Sara Adams hope to provide a showcase both for Rappahannock artists and Rappahannock art. Dan, an artist himself, said: “We want to have a gallery in the true sense of the word - not an art shop where people are welcome only if they want to buy. We want people to come here again and again, to look at our displays and to come back as they change.” Because of the beauty of the county and because most people in Rappahannock are here because they love this area. Dan and Sara decided to specialize in realistic art, art that reflects the sometimes gentle, sometimes powerful beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains. "This doesn't mean we’re completely tied in to representational art,” Dan added. They’re looking for all kinds of artists: photographers, sculptors - any artist whose work is judged to be of the quality for which they’re looking. “Actually, we don’t want to say too much about our plans for the gallery.” Sara said. “Our direction will be found as we go along, as we see what artists have available." Sara and Dan intend to have the quality of their exhibits controlled by a panel of artists who will judge work before it is shown at the gallery. Dan comes from the “other” Washington, where he worked as a commercial artist and eventaully opened his own advertising agency. He found Rappahannock County through friends who lived in Warrenton, and had it in the back of his mind that he wanted to live here some day. Sara has had a variety of jobs - in business, real estate and sales. Her interest in art stemmed from dabbling in architecture and interior decoration.

Ray’s watercolors, like Hughes River Near Nethers and Heron Wading in the Rappahannock, are boldly colored and as sharply cut as his etchings of Old Rag and other rural scenes. Local artist Davette Leonard, also a resident of Washington, has pastels and pencil drawings on display at the Middle Street Gallery. Davette grew up in New York, where she attended the Art Students League. She studied at the Corcoran in Washington, D. C. and worked as a commercial artist before coming to Rappahannock County. Devette also does sign painting, logos, house portraits and calligraphy. Davette has a gentle, pleasing style as seen in her pastels and pencil drawings now at the gallery. With an ana fnr nr mi »i>nr- n n textures, she makes ordinary objects like Cherries and Shells seem special in her two pastels by that name. Dan and Sara also offer a framing service, both to local artists and to anyone wanting a picture or photograph framed. Soon they hope to have a bin of prints for sale as well as the pictures on display. Some ideas that they are considering for the future are a special exhibit of children's art and a display of old pictures of Rappahannock County scenes. The Middle Street Gallery is in the basement of the Clopton House in Washington. Its hours are 12 to 5, Wednesday through Sunday. Women’s Club To Meet The Rappahannock Woman’s Club will meet Tuesday, February 23, at 8 p.m. at the home of Margaret Baumgardner in Sperryville.

Everyone's after vour IRA dollars^* Here's how to keeD from being pulled in the wrong direction. Ask New\brk Life. 1-800-847-4800 In New York State, call collect at (212) 696-0513. Banks, brokers, mutual funds— all can help you take advantage of the new $2,000 tax break with an IRA plan. But the right IRA can mean even more to you: thousands of dollars extra at retirement. Seems like you can’t pick up a newspaper, open a magazine, or turn on television Without someone shouting at you to take advantage of the new tax break offered by an individual retirement account (IRA). And you’re smart to listen. Because this is probably the biggest opportunity to achieve financial security to come along in your lifetime. This year, and every year from now on, you can squirrel away up to $2,000 in an IRA—then take that money right off the top of your gross income when figuring your Federal inhume icu\. Married couples can save $2,250 annually if one spouse works—up to $4,(XX) if both work. And that’s another $2,000 the tax man won’t see now. Not only is this money sheltered from current taxes, but the interest or dividend it earns is, too. Of course, you will pay taxes when funds are withdrawn, but you will probably be in a lower tax bracket. The results can be astounding. Your $2,000 can grow to more than $1,500,000. Suppose you are 25 and put $2,000 a year into an IRA until age 65, and it pays 12% interest. You’d end up with considerably more than $1,500,000' i to ordinary income tax when received 25 AGE cash to make your retirement a lot happier. Without the IRA tax break, you couldn’t come close to this. In fact, with the same yearly out-of-pocket 65 cost, you u enu up wiui less - than $200,000 if you’re in the 50% tax bracket. So it’s no wonder you’re ready to make your move. And when you read the following facts, there’s no question where your move will be: to New York Life; For not all IRAs are created equal. We start you out at 13%2 interest ^ It only makes sense: the ™ mnrp \/r»i lr mnnpv pams parh year, the more youll have in the end. And this is one place our IRA flexible annuities ’ shine. Right now, well pay 13%2 interest on your IRA if you choose a one-year guaranteed rate. Or 12%2 if you choose a 90-day guaranteed rate. Of course, the economy may fluctuate over the years. So our interest rates may go up and down. But you know they will always be competitive. High yield is not all, either. 2. Effective annual rate as of February 1. 1982 Call or write us for current rates. 3. Available in most states. Issued by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation, a Delaware subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company. We pay out even if you can’t pay in. Once you start an IRA, you ^ expect to finish it. Naturally. But what haDDens if vou’re in an accident or become ill and are laid up for years? Or even permanently? If you have an IRA from a bank, broker, or mutual fund, it’d be laid up, too. It would stop growing because you would not be able to make the required yearly payments. But with an annuity, you can breathe easier. You can elect in advance to nave us waive | the premiums if you become disabled and can’t work. That way, if you can’t complete your IRA plan, it completes itself. And you end up with your full retirement fund. Not just part of it. Our IRA will last as long as you do, too. [here still remains one more stumbling block to a carefree ) retirement. Funds in many * IRAs must be distributed over a iixeu pcriou ui ume. Again, an IRA annuity comes to the rescue. It can be distributed over your lifetime. Thus provide an income you cannot outlive. That’s guaranteed. Which leads us to another fact. Our parent company has been in business for 137 vears. When you put money away for 10,20, or 30 years in an IRA, you want to know it’ll be there when you call for it. So you may want to think about this. New York Life has been in the business of keeping financial promises since 1845. Man'r families are collecting today on policies we issued before 1900. And many people who take out our policies today will be receiving benefits well towards the close of the 21st century. With New York Life, you know we won’t take your money and forget you. When you think about the wisdom of IRAs, the many different sources, and the benefits of New York Life, there’s only one thing to do. Call us toll-free at 1-800-847-4800.

This malalignment may not show up until the person starts to jog The stress that begins in the foot is transferred up the leg into the knee and continues up into the hip. Many times this problem may be treated with an insert in the shoe to help realign the foot to the ground This can reduce or eliminate the pain in the knee. There are other problems that might not show up when walking but make themselves evident with the extra stress of jogging Remember, staying active keeps you healthy.

Refunds Withheld For Non-Paying Parents Several thousand absent parents responsible for Virginia children receiving Aid to Dependent Children may find their federal income tax refunds withheld this year, according to the Virginia Department of Welfare. Under a new federal program enacted by Congress, state agencies administering the Child Support Enforcement program submitted to IRS a list of absent parents seriously delinquent in paying child support and whose children are or were being supported by welfare payments. These parents’ federal tax refunds, if they are entitled to refunds, will be intercepted and forwarded to the state in which their children are receiving public financial assistance. "In most cases, the actual money received from a tax refund may not fully satisfy the debt," said Jean White. Support Enforcement Director for the Virginia Department of Welfare.

The Division of Support Enforcement in the Department of Welfare has recently attempted to contact by mail some 6400 parents who have been certified to IRS as owing a debt to the state. These parents have the oportunity to correct any errors in records or to make satisfactory arrangements to pay overdue support. Tax refunds will be released once the Support Enforcement Division has established satisfactory support arrangements with the parents. For the past two years, the Virginia Department of Taxation has cooperated with the Department of Welfare, intercepting state tax refunds. The IRS connection now extends this help nationwide.

As a result of the Act, the Soil Conservation Service, US DA, inventoried the nation's resources and held public meetings to determine what conservation problems concerned people the most. Now. the Soil Conservation Service is soliciting continents to help find the best solution to those problems. "Several proposals are being considered to try and better answer what the people consider America’s most serious natural resource problems,” reported Curtis L. Johnson, Soil Conservationist, in Culpeper. The public has said that the first problem that should be solved is the one of wind and water erosion, according to Johnson. He noted that about one third of America's cropoland is being eroded faster than nature can rebuild the soil. Each year this reduces the county’s ability to produce food and fiber a little more. Flooding has always been a threat to people and property. The public still recognizes this and sets flood control as the second major problem to be answered. jumiMJii i v jj'-'* icu• The American public has also identified this country's worsening water quality as the third major concern. The pollution of streams, lakes and rivers limits their usefulness for municipal, industrial, agricultural and other purposes, the soil conservationist said. “We are proposing programs to meet these problems," said Johnson. "But we need the help of the people in directing the soil and water conservation program fo • to be effective.” By ic tng private citizens have a say in developing the programs, the Soil Conservation Service feels that it will be better able to serve the needs of the people and their land, he explained. Johnson urges all citizens to become involved by coming by the Soil Conservation Service office and picking up a questionnaire. The questionnaire must be answered by January 15, 1982. If individuals are unable to stop by, a questionnaire can be obtained by calling 825-4200 between 7:30-5:00, Monday thru Friday. Additional information on the proposals is also available. "Whether you are farmer, businessman, or homeowner, this is a rare chance to directly effect how your government serves you." Johnson said. "With our natural resources being pressured more and more, can we afford not to get involved with the conservation of these resources? The hunger and economicdespair that is now happening in many countries of the world could be knocking at our own door someday. Let your voice be heard! he concluded.

Panthers Blast Luray & Strasburg By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News .Staff Writer “Cool” slammed the dunk that Panther fans have been waiting for Tuesday night as Rappahannock overwhelmed Luray, 77 to 55, in a home contest. Carl Frye's big two points came on a long pass with about four minutes left and RCHS ahead by 20. The outcome was never in doubt as Rappahannock controlled the court from the opening tap. Plagued by wild passes and sloppy ball handling, the Bulldogs turned the ball over repeatedly in the opening minutes as the Panthers jumped out to a 6-0 lead. Forward Mike Leake scored four of the first six, grabbing his own rebounds to get two — Rappahannock News Photo/Bob Baines CARL FRYE SLAMS the basketball in a dunk that pushed Rappahannock’s lead up to 20 points over Luray. The Panthers went on to win by 77-55 putting them in third place in^kyline District with one game to go before next weeks tournament.

The PMmmc E41sm Ctapaiy Part of the Allegheny Power System and three shots at the basket. Short jumpers from Frye, Gregg Martin and Robert Myers, more turnovers and Leake muscling in to score from underneath extended the RCHS lead to 20-8 at the end of the first quarter. In the second period, Luray pulled to within seven, 20-13, before the Panthers launched another streak. Leake tapped one in and on the next play, a steal by Myers and a fast break feed to Glenn Fletcher gave the Panthers two more. An allyoop pass to Frye all alone under the basket put RCHS up by 11 with a little over three minutes left. Then the Panthers tight zone defense forced more Luray turnovers and Rappahannock’s last basket in the half, Frye’s jumper from the corner, gave RCHS 13 points worth of breathing room, 30-17. Fletcher hit the opening shot of the second half and the Panthers just kept pouring it on, working the ball inside to Frye and Leake until Luray had no option but the foul. With 4:16 left in the third period, Luray put the Panthers in a one-andone situation at the charity stripe while Rappahannock’s players had yet to be tagged for their first violation. The third quarter ended with RCHS in front, 58-36. Coach Bob Edmondson cleared his bench in the 4th, leaving Frye in long enough to get the dunk that the big junior forward has been working for since he rejoined the team two weeks ago. The substitutes more than held their own to end the game with a lopsided 22-point edge. High scorer was Frye with 23 followed by Leake with 22 and Fletcher w ith nine. Rams Bombed' It was bombs away Panthers last Friday night as well as the home team blew out Strasburg, 74-63. The Rams hit two opening baskets but they never saw the lead again. Lay-ups by Leake and Frye with Fletcher banging the boards at both ends of the court put the Panthers ahead 9-4 with 4:42 left in the quarter. Martin and Myers fed the big men underneath the basket and the buzzer found RCHS on top. 19-12. At the start of the second period, it was all Glenn Fletcher, hitting from the corner and from underneath and feeding in to Lee Anderson for a third score to put the Panthers in front, 25lb. With 1:33 left, a pass from Martin to Leake widened the Panther lead to double figures, 33-21. for the first time in the game. Fletcher was fouled as he grabbed his own rebound and made both to stretch the gap. 35-21. Trailing by 14. Strasburg held the ball in a stall for the final shot, prompting chants of “boring, boring” from the Panther fans, but the Rams hit the jumper to end the half at 35-23. With Frye and Leake sitting out part of the third period with four and three fouls apiece. Strasburg pulled to within four, 49-45, as Panther shots just wouldn’t drop and Ram pressure forced nine turnovers. At the start of the final period, Strasburg connected first, cutting the lead to two but Myers and Leake converted on back-to-back trips to the foul line to spark Rappahannock's recovery. Myers broke up the Rams fast break, preventing a sure basket, and then a Panther steal sent the ball to Frye, all alone underneath, to add two more to the RCHS tally, 5547. Conversions at the foul line on 17 of 23 attempts in the fourth period put the icing on the win for the Panthers.

The Panthers battled the Generals head to head in the first period which saw the score tied four times before the quarter ended at 18 all. But Panther shots in the second half rolled off the rim. Both teams flubbed fast breaks as the action grew fast and furious with Rappahannock called for fouls that sent the fans into an uproar. Up by three at the start of the final quarter, 49-52, the Generals connected from the corners and the top of the key to win by nine, 71-80. High scorers for Rappahannock were Leake with 20, Fletcher with 16 and Frye with 15. The Panthers play their final regular season game Friday night at home against the William Monroe Dragons.

Point-To-Points Have Come A Long Way By ANNE TINSDALE Arundel Vw^paiwrn Staff Writer It’s getting to be that time of year again when Master Reynard takes off his running shoes and gets ready to pursue the pleasures of courtin’ time. So, too, does the foxhunter put away his bright pink hunting coat, in favor of equally bright racing silks, in preparation for the annual ritual of chasing his fellow foxhunters across the countryside, from one point to another. Unfettered by heavy hunting clothes and mounted on a horse fits from a season of hunting, they undoubtedly will run somewhat faster than a normal hunting pace. This is known as point-topoint racing, and although not quite as sophisticated as steeplechase racing, which is run under rules set down by the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association, it is a more refined version of the old fashioned type of pointto-point races, where the gentlemen of the hunt would challenge each other following the regular season to a race from one designated point to another in the area usually hunted. i ins unique sport can oe documented back as far as 1752 in Ireland, and had its origins in the United States with the first recorded hunt in 1885, the running of the Genesee Valley (New York) Hunt Point-To-Point. Point-to-Point racing as we know it today in Virginia began during the early 1940s when the up to then old fashioned meets began to construct specially built timber fences and to flag their courses. Prior to that time, the Point-to-Point had retained their old fashioned flavor, with informal races between hunting people on their own horses, over natural courses and under hunting conditions, the first of these being the Warrenton Hunt Point-To-Point in 1934. With the success of that first race, the Middleburg. Orange County, Old Dominion and Piedmont Hunt followed in quick succession, each with its own cross country course. Today there are nine race meetings on the Virginia circuit, which also includes Oatlands, Fairfax, Rappahannock and Casanova. Established primarily to continue good sport among foxhunters after the close of hunting season, the hunt races soon became major spectator attractions. With each year the courses and fences became more sophisticated and professional, • and the meets have now become, with revenue generated from gate receipts, subscriptions and entry fees, the major source of income for many of the hunts. In years past only those directly concerned with the participants could be found standing on yonder hillside cheering their favorite on. Today thousands of spectators turn out religiously each spring for what has become a series of annual social events in this part of the country. ine Diner cnin oi winter has almost gone, and everyone welcomes the chance to get out and visit at the popular tailgate parties, each group competing in a friendly rivalry to set the most elaborate spread, the most original, the most delicious. One of the most eagerly anticipated events of the day at Casanova is The Harden and Weaver Handicap which is open to ‘‘Ladies and Gentlemen at catch weights on the parking area turf. Entries open to anyone with a tailgate, food and beverages. Winner to be determined on the basis of expertise in tailgating. Liquid trophy donated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Montgomery.

By unanimous vote, the board authorized purchase of roofing supplies to be used by the elementary school's custodian. Budget Schedule Under a sechedule suggested by Estabrook, the proposed 1982-83 budget will be presented to the school board in two parts on February 23 and March 16. Public response will be accepted at a meeting set for March 23 and the board will adopt the budget on March 30 in time for school funding requests to be forwarded to the supervisors by the April 1 deadline. “You realize we’ll be submitting that budget on April Fools Day!” joked the superintendent, eliciting chuckles from the school board members. School Calendar In order to provide the required number of instructional days, the following revisions were approved in the school calendar: classes will be held on Saturday, February 20; Monday, March 1; Saturday, March 13 and Saturday, March 27. In addition, school will be in session during four days previously set for Easter Vacation: Monday-Thursday, April 5-8. Good Friday, April 9, and Easter Monday, April 12, will be retained, however, as vacation. If more days (up to three) are missed, classes will be held on additional Saturdays: April 17, May 1 and May 15. School will be dismissed early on all Saturdays. To date, school has been cancelled on 12 days. If further cancellations bring the total to more than 15, Estabrook noted, the board can apply to the state board of education to be excused from making up anything over 15 days. Insurance Coverage After an investigation that took them to four counties and seven insurance agencies, Eastham and Lane, the board’s special insurance committee, recommened that current policies be maintained—with some adjustments—for one more year. The superintendent must have cost estimates on insurance coverage by March 16 in order to work the figures into the proposed 1982-83 budget, Eastham noted. At the same time, before bids are solicited from different agencies, the school board must develop "definite and complete specifications” for each type of risk, including property, general liability and umbrella coverage, he said. Also oetore estimates can be secured, Eastham noted that the superintendent has to prepare “a bullet-proof and complete loss history for the last five years for this school division.” He described Rappahannock's record as “excellent,” adding that this past history will definitely have an effect on the rates and premiums charged the school division. In view of what needs to be done on reevaluation of the school’s insurance package before Estabrook’s March 16 deadline for budget estimates, the Wakefield District representative recommended going one more year with present agencies and underwriters with the following changes: —switch from cash value to replacement value on property coverage, —expansion of the fidelity bond which ensures "the honesty of school employees” to cover all staff members who handle more than $500 per year, —unspecified adjustments to the boiler and machinery policy. (Noting past events at the high school and recent boiler problems at a new school in W'arrenton, Eastham said he is "damn near terrified with that risk.”) — raise deductible amounts. Eastham and Lane were authorized to continue their investigation and evaluation of the school division’s insurance portfolio and, in the meantime, to bring recommendations to the March board meeting on continuing current coverage with the same agencies and underwriters (but with some modifications) for another year. The board also directed the superintendent to investigate the origin and reasons for maintaining general funds outside the regular school budget at both the elementary and high schools. In addition, the board asked for copies of an investigation and report on unemployment compensation laws by the commonwealth's attorney as requested by the county supervisors. Earlier in the meeting, Elisabeth and Ned Johnson suggested that the board excerpt the opening chapter on the history of the Fairfax proprietery from their book, "Rappahannock, Fact Fiction and Foolishness," to use in pamphlet form as part of Virginia history courses at both the elementary and high schools. Johnson estimated cost at about 50 cents pier copy and noted that Madison and Culpeper counties may be interested as well in securing pamphlets. The board authorized Estabrook to look into cost and report back to the board. “I’ve read each and every word of your book,” commented Eastham to the Johnsons. "We should be very thankful and grateful to them for what they've done for the citizens of this county," he added to his fellow board members.

BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OF RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY By David Konick ZONING ADMINISTRATOR 202f25 Disappointing JV Record By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer With just a single game left to play, Rappahannock's junior varsity Panthers have compiled a disappointing record of 4 wins and 13 losses for the 1981-82 season. Disappointing only because the junior Panthers were inched out of victory in all but three of the contests by a demoralizing margin of one, two or three points. “We only lost three by a lop-sided score. The rest were will within range,” reported coach Dean Hahn. “We just didn’t make it through the final minutes.” Hahn attributed his team's near misses to a lack of experience and a lack of proper coaching. "I’m just not a qualified basketball coach,” he acknowledged. A teacher at RCHS until the end of December when he left for a position as probation officer for Rappahannock and Fauquier counties, Hahn remained on as jv coach for the secotid half of the season under a special exemption for the Virginia High School Athletic League. His expertise lies in baseball — not basketball—and he agreed to be jv coach in the first place because no one else would take the job. He stayed on for the same reason. “I’d certainly like to. see Rappahannock do some recruting and find someone for a classroom vacancy who has a special interest in basketball,” Hahn said. “The kids deserve it. We have the ability here at this school to have some outstanding teams...Mr. Ed (varsity coach Bob Edmondson) does a real great job but he doesn’t get any help from me,” the jv coach added. “I’ve had a really super bunch of kids this year. They really deserve the best.” Of the jv’s starting five, Ken Estes "gives more of himself than anybody else,” Hahn noted. “He'll play harder, get in there and really mix it up. He's my best defensive player and he does it thorough sheer desire. I put him on the opponent’s best defensive big man—no matter what size he is. Ken is a real asset to the team because he just breathes good attitude.” Ninth grader Jeff Porter, the junior Panthers’ floor leader, has played under a lot of pressure this year, according to Hahn. “He’s made some mistakes but he takes correction well, he’s very coachable.” By the time the fleet-footed, hustling guard gets to tenth grade, "he ought to be able to eliminate those mistakes,” Hahn added. Sophomore guards Mike Del Grosso and Kevin Harrison are the jv's best outside shooters, the coach said. “They need to work on their ball handling and developing a positive approach to things but once they get a winning attitude, they’ll be great ballplayers.” “I look for a lot of good things from Garence Pendleton,” Ha|m continued. The tall sophomore forward needs to work on his drive and using his right hand, according to the coach, "but he's a real good ball player. Tommy Sisk, the lanky sophomore who dropped down from varsitv after —Rappahannock New* rhoto/LI. nutchmton JEFF PORTER was total concentration at the foul line in the junior varsity Panthers’ game last Friday against Strasburg. The ninth grade guard went to the charity stripe with no seconds showing on the clock and Rappahannock down by one as his teammates waited expectantly and Strasburg’s statiticians bit their nails in anxiety at the other end of the court.
