A. Buntin put in a bid to have three county police cars replaced. Buntin told the supervisors that in his budget request to the State Compensation Board, he'd asked for two new deputy positions. “The question is whether I get them." He added that he had also requested four dispatch positions to man a county r communications system for police and emergency services and will repeat both requests in person at the Compensation Board session scheduled for March 25 in Warrenton. Since the Compensation Board funds salaries for law enforcement personnel, both deputies and dispatchers, no action was required from the supervisors. Buntin reported, however, that the supervisors must act by March 15 if the county is to take advantage of what he termed as "the best prices we've ever heard of’ for police cruisers. According to a letter from the State Division of Purchasing, 1982 Plymouth Furies with 318 motors and heavy duty equipment are available through that office for $7,031. "It seems to be quite a bargain!” the sheriff said. He noted that the county cars purchased used from a rental agency three years ago, all 1979 models, will each top 100,000 miles within the next (Continued on Page 2) Local Laws Proposed To End Hunting Abuses In Rappahannock By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Staff ^ ritcr After efforts to persuade the Virginia Game Commission to change regulations regarding length of deer season and hunting with dogs apparently proved unsuccessful last week, the Rappahannock supervisors switched tactics at Monday’s board meeting to attack »*Jiunter abuses with local laws. At the request of the board’s special committee on hunting problems, the supervisors voted 4-0 with Hubert Gilkey abstaining to advertise ordinances prohibiting hunting within 300 feet of a road and banning the hunting of deer with dogs for public hearing on April 5. Capt. William Keim told the supervisors that he, Homer Henry, Eric Forester and Bob Dennis attended the Game Commission’s public hearing in Richmond on February 26. According to Keim, the commission’s professional staff opposed both regulation changes sought by Rappahannock: equalization of deer season across the state and prohibition of running deer with dogs in Rappahannock County. He added that the commission accepted me staffs recommendation that unequal deer seasons east and west of the Blue Ridge remain the same as in the hunting season that just ended but directed a restudy of the dog hunting issue. Keim told the supervisors that Sperryville attorney Bill Fletcher appeared before the commission on behalf of the Flint Hill Gun Club apparently in opposition to shortening the deer season in Rappahannock. While Fletcher did not make any specific recommendations, he told the Game Commissioners of a local farmer who had lost an alfalfa field to deer and an orchardist who had apple trees damaged, maintaining that the county already has too many deer. In a separate report from the special committee on hunting “to the concerned citizens of Rappahannock County,” Keim and Henry noted that Fletcher attended several court house meetings aimed at solving hunting problems but had not offered any suggestions or opposition to regulation changes sought from the Game Commission. "Does he not have any faith in our county supervisors or are we being undermined in Richmond?” the committee members asked in their report. Gilkey Opposed Changes Keim told the supervisors on Monday that Gilkey, the board’s representative from Wakefield District, had also testified before the Game Commission, asking for a longer deer season in Rappahannock. According to Keim, Gilkey maintained that running deer with dogs was not a critical issue in the county and challenged a report that put crowd size at the supervisors' special meeting on hunting problems at approximately 200. In the committee’s report supplied to the Rappahannock News, Keim and Henry noted that Gilkey had voted against regulation changes endorsed by the rest of the supervisors. “It has been our uhderstanding that when a motion has been voted on by the Board of Supervisors and passed by a majority vote that it is a closed matter...We feel that it is very unethical for (Gilkey) to go to Richmond and to identify himself as a member of the Board of Supervisors and to oppose this matter (equalization of deer season statewide and prohibition of running deer with dogs in Rappahannock)." No Local Effort Keim reported that he’d been asked by the Game Commissioners why the county supervisors have failed to adopt enabling legislation to control hunting abuses here, such as the cased gun law that would make it illegal to carry a Seven Seek Seven Seats Judging by the slate of candidates who filed for Washington's town elections by the March 2 deadline, the 1982 campaign will be no contest. Only the incumbent mayor and council members have indicated they’ll be running in May. That’s seven hopefuls seeking seven seats. Seeking reelection when Washington’s voters go to the polls on May 4 will be mayor J. Newbill Miller and council members Bradford Fisher, C. E. Giles, Jr., Dorothy Clater. Dorothy Hawkins. Taylor Updike and Charlie Jenkins. loaded rifle or shotgun in a motor vehicle or walking on a public right-of-way without written permission to hunt from landowners on both sides of the road. Keim said he told the commissioners that adoption of such legislation has been proposed in the past but defeated in a split vote by the supervisors after meeting with public opposition. He added that the game commissioners had expressed concern privately over being asked to solve Rappahannock’s hunting problems when the supervisors have failed to use the tools already available to correct hunting abuses. In response to what they preceived as failure in Richmond, Keim said, the committee members proposed immediate adoption of local ordinances prohibiting hunting within 300 feet of a road and banning the hunting of deer with dogs in Rappahannock. Keim reported that commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner believes the supervisors can (Continued on Page 8) No Figures, No Questions School Budget Session Is A Guessing Game By l)\l’H\E HI TCHINSON Kn|>|>ahann«H’k 'Maff VI ritrr Superintendent Robert Estabrook unveiled the first installment of his proposed budget for 1982-83 at a special school board meeting last Tuesday night but trying to follow the action was like trying to understand a game without knowing the rules or the players. At the opening of what was billed as a budget work session, chairman Beverly Massie reported that the commonwealth’s attorney had ruled that the board did not have to provide those in attendance with copies of the budget figures. In addition, she said, the meeting was open to the public under provisions of Virginia's Freedom of Information Act "but we don’t have to receive or answer any questions from the public." During most of the presentation, the superin-* tendent and board members referred only to line items rather than identifying by name the categories of specific proposals. None of the seven people looking on had brought a copy of last year’s budget to the work session. They were therefore reduced to playing detective in trying to determine what a proposed ten percent increase on line item 102 meant. Comparing what was said on Tuesday night with a copy of last year’s budget, it can be determined that Estabrook's suggestion for ten percent increases applies to: — superintendent’s (Continued on Page 7) Residents Challenge Zoning Decisions Two county residents displeased by recent zoning and land use decisions of local government brought their cases to the supervisors’ meeting on March 1. Both went away from the session disappointed: Doris Donald by the board’s position that it has no authority over a special use permit granted by the Board of Zoning Appeals and Mary Neal by a ruling from the supervisors that county ordinances prohibit approval of the land division she seeks. ’’Somebody ought to be responsible for what they (the BZA members) do." Donald said in relating issues involved witft the special use permit issued last month to Massanova Pentecostal Church for a Christian day school. She cited a list of ap plicable zoning regulations: —requirement for a special use permit for operation of a school, public or private, in an agricultural zoning district, —provision for a site plan which may be required by the zoning administrator as part of a special use permit application. —requirement for issuance of a certificate of occupancy and approved sewage disposal system before an existing building can be altered and used for public congregation, —stipulation that special permitted uses not be in conflict with the predominate character of their neighborhood nor injurious to property values. —requirement for sufficient area for screening and off-site parking, with a development plan to show details of parking accommodations, —requirement that all permits issued conform with provisions of the zoning ordinance or otherwise be considered null and void. (In relation to this point. Donald reported that former zoning administrator Evan McNear had said he would have revoked the building permit issued for the Pentecostal campground if he had been ordered to do so after it was discovered that what was being built on the site was not what was specified in the permit.) Opened Without Permit The school in Massanova Pentecostal Church began operating in September. 1981, Donald said.

- Sheriff Seeks 3 Cars, Deputies— (Continued from Page 1) few months and can then be expected to present greater maintenance problems. The current cars cost $3,695 a piece. In the past two years, the sheriff noted, reimbursement from the Compensation Board at 17 cents per mile has totalled in excess of $7,000 over upkeep expenses, according to county accountant Wally Cox. With reimbursement going from 17 cents to 20 cents in the current year, “we should do even better." Buntin said, adding that the total received from the compensation board over the past three years should end up covering both upkeep and original costs of the three police vehicles. Reimbursement Will Cover If the supervisors decide that this is the year to replace the cars "you shouldn’t pass this up,” he said of the deal offered by the State Purchasing Office. Buntin said he wanted to request three new vehicles, noting that the garden helper ii this am. Lamst Lavra A Gariaa Efaif aiast Oaalar sheriffs department will need additional cars if the new deputy positions are approved by the Compensation Board. He noted that the three cars will pay for themselves within three years with compensation board reimbursement. Asked for the salavage value on current police vehicles, Buntin said it would not be over $500 apiece. If the supervisors approve purchase of new cars, he added, the number of old cars to be sold will depend on the number of deputy positions okayed by the compensation board since vehicles will have to be retained for additional staff. “So the more (cars) we have, the more money we make!” commented supervisor H. B. Wood. “The state may pay for it but who’s paying the state? I just want to get that point across. There’s no such thing as Santa Claus.” we 11 tile your papers with all all the rest of the budget material,” added chairman J. R. Latham. The supervisors are scheduled to receive budget requests from all county departments by April 1. Hubert Gilkey noted, however, that a decision on buying new cars from the State Purchasing office must be made by March 15. Wood complained that the board was being asked to make a spur of the moment decision, noting that he didn’t want to act on the car request until he could see the entire budget picture and project an impact on the tax rate. “I’d like to have a few days to consider this,” agreed Latham. “I’d like to talk to the people about it and see what they think, supervisor Clarence Baldwin added. County's Share Charles K. Estes, supervisor from Piedmont District, agreed with Wood that “it’s really our money down there in Richmond that’s being sifted back to us...It seems a shame that every other county doesn’t feet the same way," he said. “But I get irritated when I see other counties grabbing fRappatiannock INcuib Rappahannock & Adioinmg Counties per year $7 00 Elsewhere m the U S per year $8 50 Outside the U S per year $7 00 pius postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE i rNew i ^Renewal i tC.heck Enclosed NAME _ . .... ._ ADDRESS _ _ _ _ CITY .......

"We're just as entitled to our share as they are.” Again, he agreed with Wood that fire and rescue dispatch could be economically and efficiently managed through a joint system with Culpeper, noting that volume of calls would be far less than those handled by dispatch systems in larger counties, such as Loudoun, or by the state police center which dispatches all of Northern Virginia. But, he emphasized, Rappahannock is just as entitled to funds from the compensation board for a local center as is Culpeper. With no further discussion, the supervisors moved to other agenda items, dismissing a suggestion for a budget work session as unnecessary until after the April 1 deadline for funding requests. Noise Complaints Again Claybert Smoot was back before the board on Monday to repeat his by now standard complaints of late night noise from Washington’s Community Center. "It's the same thing that’s been going on all the time only it's getting worser." said Smoot, describing noise levels at a Valentine’s Day dance as “rediculous." He said he'd called [he commonwealth attorney at 11:30 p.m. and asked Douglas Baumgardner to come to his house to listen but had been told that Baumgardner couldn't. At 1 a.m.. Smoot said, he called the jailor, only to be told that no law enforcement personnel were available. Smoot continued that the following morning, while he was talking with supervisor Clarence Baldwin, both Randall Updike and Ashby Wayland (who live further from the center than Smoot) stopped to comment on the excessive noise from the Valentine's dance. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bailey, representtaives from the Citizen’s League which owns the center, can’t stay up at the building all night to monitor noise, Smoot acknowledged, suggesting that groups renting the facility be held responsible instead. Sheriff W. A. Buntin told the supervisors that he and a deputy had visited the community center three times on the night in question. "There was some noise when the doors were opened but r-AmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal Va 635-3556 L P Gas disirit>uto' serving a four couniy area Propane gas lor full house use heating water healmg and cooking Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters RAPPAHANNOCK HUNT Point-to-Point Races SAT., MARCH 6,1982 11:00 A.M.

Music Stop|Jed Before 1 A.M. “At 12:45, most of the cars pulled out. We thought they were quitting so I went home.” Buntin reported, adding that he saw no cars parked in Smoot's lane, in the cemetery or on the road, other areas of complaint from the center neighbor in the past. The sheriff noted that he couldn't hear any amplifiers being used by the band on any of the three visits to the center. As to alleged complaints from Updike and Wayland, he suggested that they come before the supervisors. Asked if there was any particular group causing a problem at the center, Smoot maintained that excessive noise resulted everytime outsiders from Culpeper and Leesburg used the building. He noted that local contra dancers who use the center create no problems. Asked for a suggestion on how to combat the noise problem. Sheriff Buntin posed the possibility of an ordinance requiring dances to end at 1 a.m. Any ordinance would apply countywide, including dances sponsored by volunteer fire departments, responded supervisor Estes. “Let’s don’t put this thing in an ordinance,” he said, suggesting that the organization which owns the building work with Smoot to resolve the issue, possibly by refusing to rent the center to groups responsible for making excessive noise. At the board s request. Sheriff Buntin agreed to consult with the commonwealth's attorney and zoning administrator on using new county equipment that measures decibel levels to determine if noise from the center violates criteria set in the zoning ordinance. Help For EMS Council Frankie Huff, county representative on the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Services Council, asked the supervisors for financial support to enable the council to continue administrative operations should federal block grant funds be unavailable in the coming fiscal year as expected. He reported that Rappahannock’s the contribution requested from Rappahannock (based on population) totals $2,519 and includes money to maintain the communications system which links county rescue squads to area hospitals. The EMS Council has set up training courses for rescue personnel, hospital staffs, police and private citizens in a wide range of subjects, including cardi-pulminary resusitation, advanced cardiac life support, disaster preparedness, EMS dispatch and defensive driving, according to Huff. In addition, he said that the council has provided liason with state and federal offices, assisting in securing funds for local fire and rescue units. "A lot of these things are not going to be possible at all without administrative help from the council,” he warned. The supervisors took no action on the funding request at Monday’s meeting. Likewise, they postponed until budget time a request from the Culpeper Soil an Water Conservation District for $500 relayed by county representative Cliff Latham. The supervisors did, however, endorse a memorandum of understanding betweeen the county and the Soil and Water Conservation District that calls for joint efforts to protect water, soil and related resources. After an advertised public hearing, the board voted unanimously to abandon a short section of old Route 729 at the intersection with Route 640 in the Forest Grove area. No one spoke for or against abandonment of the roadway which is no longer in use. Noting that he will have no information unil mid-April on highway revenues which the county can expect in the coming fiscal year, highway department resident engineer Don Askew recommended that the annual road hearing normally held at the April board meeting be delayed. The supervisors agreed to schedule the public road hearing for May 3. After a 45 minute executive session on matters related to welfare cases, the board returned to open session to approve monthly accounts. Related to accounts, they voted unanimously to authorize transfer of funds from the budget line item for legal council to the line item for the equalization board. Clerk Diane Bruce noted that the equalization board’s bill of $2,109 for work in February had exhausted funds allocated to that account and that the board has already advertised ten days of meetings for March. Frozen Canned Food This year’s weather has been cold enough to freeze canned food, causing concern about the food’s safety. “If neither the seal on the jar, nor the container has been broken, the food still is quite safe to eat,” said Jo Anne Barton, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in foods and nutrition. Canned food stored in attics and basements is subject to freezing temperatures during the cold wintry weather. Even in some sheltered locations the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Although there may be some loss of quality in the canned food that has been frozen, it still should be safe, said the faculty member in Tech’s College of Home Economics. It is best, however, to prevent canned food from freezing. The specialist suggested protecting the food by setting it in cardboard boxes and covering it with newspapers or a blanket. “FOOT FACTS' Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist DANGER OF FROSTBITE In ,this extremely /cold winter that we are now experiencing there is more danger of frostbite for some people than others Women are more prone to frostbite than men Husbands are constantly complaining of their wives' cold feet The reason for this is that there is a vasospasm, or clamping down of the blood vessels in the toes of the foot to conserve blood for the rest of the body This happens more quickly in a woman than a man.

CHRIS WHITE Receives DAR Award The Rappahannock Chapter of the National Daughters of the American Revolution have presented a DAR Good Citizenship award to Paul Christopher White, a student at Wakefield Country Day School. According to DAR Regent Mrs. Walter E. Height, White was chosen on the basis of a questionnaire completed by Wakefield students. "Chris White’s intellectual acuity is one of his most striking features," said Wakefield headmaster Dr. William Lynn, Jr. “He is especially interested in political philosophy, and while all his ideas are not completely formed, he is at least thinking deeply about matters of substance. He is at this point refreshingly patriotic and is sensible about most political questions. Just as in his editorials, his deep respect for authority and traditional values highlights his oft expressed views and opinions." Lynn concluded. Christopher is the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Tucker White of Winchester. RAA Needs Volunteers It’s that time of year again—the Rappahannock Athletic Association is now planning the annual summer league baseball program. Two meetings in February found a disappointing attendance of a half dozen people. If the previous successful baseball programs are to continue there must be a commitment of support from all areas of the county. Both men and women are needed in many different categories. These volunteers are essential to assist, guide and direct the program. The RAA members and the 125 boys and girls involved are hoping to see a good turnout at the next meeting scheduled fpr March 6 at 2 p.m. at the local elementary school. Administrative elections will be held at this time. The support and vote of all would be appreciated, according to Gary Leake and Huey Atkins, two of the program leaders. Concert Presents Roger Wagner Chorale The Community Concert Association presents the ROGER WAGNER CHORALE as the second concert of the 1981-82 season, at the Culpeper County High School on Saturday, March 13. at 8:00 p.m. Called "second to none in the world" by Leopold Stokowski, the Chorale, which began as a Madrigal Group in 1946, has become the premiere vocal ensemble of America and has earned an enviable international reputation singing music from the Gregorian chant to Stephen Foster. "If there are better choruses, they must be in Heaven", says the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, and from the New York Times International Edition, "The blending of voices is so perfect that at times one hears a quartet rather than a choir.” Admission is by membership card. -N-O-T-l-C-E| Rappahannock County Tags are | now on sale.

Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation THURSDAY, MARCH 4,1982 Piedmont Environmental Council Names Dennis President Robert T. Dennis of Rappahannock County has been named President and chief executive officer of the Piedmont Environmental Council. Dennis was promoted by the Council’s Board of Directors from the post of Executive Director in which he has served for the past year. In related action, the Board elected Arthur W. Arundel of The Plains to serve as Chairman of the Board and Marie W. Ridder, a part-time resident of Hume, to become its ViceChairman. The moves reflect a general reorganization of the 10-yearold council caused by the health-related retirement of B. Powell Harrison, Jr., a PEC founder and its chief executive officer for the last ten years. A non-profit organization. PEC provides to public officials and citizens positive programs and professional planning assistance to conserve the traditional character and visual order of the countryside. towns and villages of the nine-county northern Piedmont region. In naming Dennis. Arundel said the Board was “highly confident in the outstanding professional leadership which he has V f ROBERT T. DENNIS demonstrated to the Council.” Over recent months, the organization has played a key role in improving county master plans, successfully opposed rezoning proposals to open rural areas to major development, and emerged as a statewide leader of efforts to regulate proposed uranium mining in Virginia. Dennis said in his new role he would, “be actively committed to providing for orderly economic progress which is sensitive to con serving the land, water and air resources of this area as our legacy to the generations to come.” Dennis grew up in Fairfax County and moved with his family in 1976 to Rappahannock, where he is a part-time farmer and a member of the County Water and Sewer Authority. Before joining PEC he served in various capacities with the Izaak Walton League of America, The Conservation Foundation and other national organizations. Powe$ Lines Inspected With Use of Helicopter If you see a helicopter hovering over electric lines in this area, don't be alarmed. It’s part of Potomac Edison’s preventative maintenance program for transmission and distribution lines to spot equipment that needs repair. "We’re looking for anything that might eventually cause a problem.” according to PE Assistant Division Manager Jim Poffenberger. "so we can dispatch a ground crew and repair it as quickly as possible. We think we have a good record of electric reliability. This is one way to keep that record intact.” The helicopter, which carries a pilot and a PE observer noting and recording any problem, will patrol about 8,000 miles of lirie in the utility’s service area before mid-year. "The helicopter patrol throughout the PE service area will cost about $80,000,” according to Poffenberger, “but the cost of foot patrol would be considerably greater. In addition, the helicopter can get within a short distance of the line to spot potential problems that could not be detected easily from the ground.” Spring Musical Rappahannock County High School announces the scheduling of this year’s spring musical. Meredith Wilson’s, “The Music Man”. The musical, directed by Don Bomberger, is to be produced on May 21 and 22 at 8 p.m. and will feature vocal, instrumental. and acting talent of the county school system. Plan now for another exciting evening in theatre. DEBORAH LYSICK, an eighth grade student at Rappahannock County High School, was the second place winner in the instrumental category of the Bland Music Contest held recently.

Ruritan Club Involved In Community The Amissville Ruritan Club held its February meeting 01* the 24th at which time the annual budget report was presented by the Ways and Means and Finance committees. Newly elected officers who were installed in January included Gilbert Lawrence, president; Edward Lawrence, vice president; Wayne Fordham. secretary and Charlie Mills, secretary. Two new members were initiated at the February meeting: Clarence Dodson and Wayne Kanaby, both of Viewtown. Kanaby volunteered to act as publicity director for the club, and provided the following update of the group's activities: The Amissville Ruritan Club is a volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to making the community a better place in which to live. Proceeds from the various fund raisers are used for an annual scholarship to an outstanding high school senior of Rappahannock; aid . for a local child to attend Sursum Corda School; donations to the Amissville scout groups; to provide the insurance premium for the Amissville Lille Leagues; to contribute to the Amissville fire and rescue services, to donate funds to the vacation Bible schools of the three community churches, to give food and fruit baskets at Christmas and to contribute to the Heart Fund. On behalf of the Ruritans, Kanaby expressed appreciation to everyone for the aid in a successful fruit cake sales campaign and general support over the years, as the club strives to provide community services. Eugster Plans Original Drama Tryouts for an original poetic drama by Carla Eugster entitled "Next Year Jerusalem’’ will be held Wednesday and Thursday evenings. March 10 and 11. Wednesday’s auditions will be at the Rappahannock County Library in Washington and Thursday’s at Nethers poets-musicians retreat in Woodville. "This is the work I would like to share with my fellow Rappahonians this spring instead of my usual poetry reading,” Eugster said. One woman, four men. two children between the ages of eight and 13, three-to-eight dancers and instrumental musicians are needed as well as people interested in helping with music, costumes, lighting, make-up and other technical areas. Sally Nash, director of the Last Minute Wood Company, will choreograph the dance section. “Next Year Jerusalem” will take approximately 1V4 hours to perform and will have the same disciplined rehearsal schedule as any more conventional drama. With opening night tentatively scheduled for May 4, two performances in Rappahannock County and two in Washington, D. C., are contemplated. — Rappahannock New* Photo»/S. I .at ham -Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor “Gross Error”— To the editor: Your editorial of February 25 entitled “Secret Sessions” attacks one School Board member by name, insinuates hypocrisy on the part of this member for wanting our school children to honor George Washington’s 250th birthday, and condemns all School Board members for daring to vote unanimously for a clarification of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act by the Board’s legal counsel. It is precisely because all members of the present board have a deep respect for the laws of this State that they voted to ask for the legal clarification. Otherwise, we would simply have done as others have done and continue to do - wink at the law and meet "informally” anyway. How often have you complained of this yourself? If Mr. Stone, as I suspect he will, tells the School Board that Sections 2.1-341 and 2.1344 of the code preclude all pre-arranged "informal" meetings of our Board, or a majority of it, for the explicit purpose of discussing public business not covered by the exceptions in the Act and without following the procedure provided in the County To Get Dentist In Federal Program Rappahannock County will soon have a full-time dentist operating out of health department offices in the Clopton House in Washington. Dr. John Einarson, regional health department director, won a commitment from the county supervisors at their board meeting Monday to provide a portion of a dental assistant’s salary, a prerequisite for participation in the National Health Corps > Dentist Program. Under the National Health Corps program, Einarson reported, students awarded dental school scholarships by the federal government agree to work for a specified period in an “under-served area” alter graduation, with no full-time dentists, Rappahannock qualifies as such an area. For its part in the program, the locality must furnish supplies, facilities and 31 percent of the salary of a part-time dental assistant. In addition, Einarson said, the health department must supervise the new dentist. He noted that facilities and equipment, including a dental chair, are already available in the health department's offices. Currently, two part-time dentists use the office a few hours per week, sponsored jointly by the health department and the Teachers’ Association Dental Program which put up $8,000 to secure state matching funds. But the part-time dentists have only a minimal number of hours available for work in Rappahannock, making it some time before they will be able to get through the backlog of cases referred by thj schools, Einarson said. Having a full-time dentist available through the National Health Corps will better meet the need for dental care here, he said, adding that an individual who will graduate in May from dental school in Tennessee has agreed to accept appointment to “under-served” Rappahannock. Client fees charged in the National Health Corps program will be considerably less than standard. As an example. Einarson said that a small filling will cost SIS. Depending on income level, patients will pay all, twothirds. one-third or nothing of that fee. Of the money collected, 80 percent will go toward support of the program and 20 percent will be returned to the federal government, the health department directed reported. He noted that funds from the Teachers’ Association Dental Program can also be used in support of the service, provided the funds are first transferred to the county. In answer to a question as to how long federal assistance will be provided, Einarson replied that the student payback period for a government scholarship to dental school is four years in an “underserved area.” "The cost would be very minimal,” he said, with total salary of the part-time dental assistant running about $6,900 and the county’s share only 31 percent or $2,139. ‘‘We’re asking you for support,” he concluded. "Hie board’s response was a unanimous vote authorizing Einarson to proceed in setting up the National Health Corps Dental program. Act - then we shall have done the county a service by asking for the opinion. All public bodies in this county may find the opinion interesting and instructive reading. You were in gross error to state that our chairman had no right, under the Act, to take the Board into Executive Session for discussion of the proposed new administrator s position in the central office, along with other excepted matters. If not “personnel” what, in the name of Heaven, was it? It was patently impossible to discuss the need for the proposed new, $25,000 per year senior administrator without discussion of our new Administrator’s arrangements to date, whether it needs additional help and why, and so forth. You saw the Board excuse the Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent from the Board Room in order that we could carry on a completely uninhibited discussion of this, the other excepted subjects, which reason dictates, the law provides for, and the taxpayer desires. If the new $25,000 per year position is approved and put by the Supervisors in the new, all inclusive County Budget, you may be sure that the taxpayers will think that it has something to do with "personnel"! Because of the extreme reluctance of some persons now on public bodies in this small county to be subjected to attacks such as yours or to be pressured by organized self-interest groups, some of them may continue in public sessions to posture (and even vote) to please the orchestrated crowd or to tickle our local Editor's fancy. Some of us will not. If induced by Mr. Stone’s interpretation of the law to continue in public sessions with deceptive half-truths, concealing euphemisms, and even out right silence, then some will undoubtedly continue to do so. But some of us will not. For our part we shall, as started in the Act, see to it that ‘‘NO THINK WHICH SHOULD BE PUBLIC MAY BE HIDDEN FROM ANY PERSON". "NO THING”. MADAM EDITOR! We trust that you and your readers will be pleased with the result and. this time, perhaps applaud our efforts. ROBERT W.

Park Planning Aims Established Major decisions guiding the management, operations and development of Shenandoah National Park for the next 10 to 15-year period have been made by James W. Coleman, Jr., the Director of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the National Park Service. The selected alternatives call for continuation of the Park’s 50-year tradition of cooperation with adjoining landowners in accepting useful donations of property and in making equal value land exchanges. “The Zone of Cooperative Protection option was not selected,” said Coleman, “because of its lack of support by local governments and citizenry.” The Park's natural resources will be afforded better protection through an increase in^ research, and additional\ emphasis will be yiven to the preservation and interpretation of the Park's historic and cultural resources. The forthcoming draft general management plaa will not introduce or encourage any new visitor activities, but will expand programs necessary to provide for the use and understanding of the Park. Development decisions will keep the Park’s trail system approximately 460 miles in length, will allow necessary rehabilitation of the 50-yearold Skyline Drive to be accomplished, and will provide adequate support facilities for the ongoing and future programs. Modest replacement and-or expansion of camping and lodging accommodations will be permitted in existing developed areas. Copies of the Selection of Alternatives will soon be sent r to all persons and organizations on the Park's mailing list. Additional copies may be obtained by writing to the Superintendent. Shenandoah National Park. Luray, Virginia 22835. “The next steps in the planning process." said Park Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen, “are for the planning team to prepare a draft general management plan, and to make it available for public review and comment." — Kappahanrnxk Nft»» Phtilo/ T.

BZA, Supervisor Actions Questioned (Continued from Page 1) instigation of local landowners in the Aaron Mountain area, the commonwealth’s attorney wrote the pastor of the church, requesting that Rev. Savage inquire of counsel as to zoning requirements for the school. Savage answered that the school was not a separate entity but rather a part of the entire church ministry and as such did not need a building permit. Then on October 27, Alex Sharp, zoning administrator at the time, advised Savage to immediately apply for a special use permit, Mrs. Donald recalled. An article in the Rappahannock News on November 5 noted that the school taught secular subjects, such as mathematics, history and reading. Donald questioned whether instructors at the Massanova Christian school meet the requirements set for public school teachers in these subjects. She also questioned whether the Christian school provides special education programs and whether it is accredited. In September, Fauquier County turned down a request from a Korean group of the same Pentecostal sect for a religious retreat in the Sumerduck area, Donald reported. At roughly the same time, she noted. Culpeper authorities closed down a Christian school operating out of the basement of a home in Rixeyville in response to fire code violations and pressure from neighboring landowners. Here in Rappahannock on December 24, Donald continued, zoning administrator David Konick threatened the Massanova Christian School with enforcement action in the event that zoning violations continued. Then on January b, the school applied for a special use permit. Damage Done “The damage has already been done,” Donald maintained, reporting that no property has been sold on Route 622 in the vicinity of the Pentecostal campground and school since early 1980 although four houses have been up for sale for over a year. Other county properties are selling, she added, citing as evidence sales of over SI million totalled by two Rappahannock realtors. According to projections from real estate agents, she continued, “there’s been a 20 percent devaluation of property due to what's been built in our midst." As to requirements for adequate sewage disposal. Donald pointed out that BZA member Peter Kramer had acknowledged that sanitarian Jack Lockhart said there's no way the existing septic system at Massanova church can be brought into compliance with health department regulations for serving a school enrollment of 49 students, the limit set by the BZA permit. “Who's going to know when that enrollment passes the 49 limit and they move up to the other site?" asked Donald, referring to the Nationwide Pentecostal Evangelistic Association’s (NPEA) campground just a short distance away from the church on Route 622. Despite what BZA members maintained to the contrary at their public hearing, deed records show that the two facilities are owned by the same group, according to Donald. And although county officials promise to prosecute if zoning regulations applicable to the church school are violated, there’s been no prosecution in the past when the Pentecostal group disregarded court orders, she added. Loopholes In Court Order Donald maintained that the court order referred to repeatedly as preventing the church school from moving to the camp site contains loopholes. Specifically, she noted that the order enjoins the supervisors and zoning administrator from interfering with NPEA trustees in church or church related activities held on the campground property, including Bible or church school. “The church could conduct school there all summer," she warned, noting that kitchen and dormitories originally planned as part of the camp site but disallowed could then be added on in the name of the school. After operating an • nadequate facility in defiance of zoning regulations, Massanova Christian school was given a special use permit oy tne BZA and allowed “seven months to dig a ditch when they have no place to dig it!” Mrs. Donald said, referring to the August time limit set for compliance with health department regulations on sewage disposal. “The Board of Zoning Appeals has jurisdiction in this matter,” responded commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, adding that the supervisors had given the BZA power to consider special use permits. If citizens object to granting of a permit, the proper remedy is to file a suit, asking for review by the circuit court, he said. Baumgardner noted, however, that the supervisors can consider Mrs. Donald’s comments in connection with the ongoing revision of the county's zoning ordinances and suggested she send copies of her remarks to the planning commission. Another Decision Challenged Mary Neal of Castleton appeared before the board to request a reconsideration of an application from her and her husband to subdivide a 37-acre parcel into a 30-acre unimproved lot and a sevenacre lot with house. The Neals applied in August, 1981, for a variance to divide the property, zoned residential subdivision and agriculture, and initially purchased in two pieces, one seven acres and one 30 acres. (The 30-acre portion now includes the house.) She noted that the property had been purchased in good faith but that due to illness, she and her husband were no longer able to care for theentire tract. Going over variance criteria in the zoning ordinance, Mrs. Neal maintained that their request satisfied all regulations. The variance application was tabled by the Board of Zoning Appeals, pending advice from the commonwealth’s attorney, she recalled. The commonwealth's attorney then received an opinion from Virginia’s attorney general, she said, holding that the zoning ordinance’s residential subdivision district was invalid (on the basis if its blanket prohibition against resubdivision). Zoned Agriculture Next, in a letter from the zoning administrator dated January 14, it was determined that the zoning of most of the Neals’ property was agricultural, not residential. As a result, Mrs. Neal said, administrator David Konick felt the land division could be approved. After they contacted J. R. Latham, their representative on the board, the supervisor chairman agreed to bring the matter up and later informed the Neals that in the board's opinion, they couldn’t divide their 37 acres into the two parcels, she said. Mrs. Neal said that the planning commissioners noted that private streets are prohibited for serving subdivisions but she pointed out that an exception is made for lots 25 acres or larger where only a private, gravelled road is required. “Why is it right for some people and not for others to comply with the book?” Neal asked, referring to deed records from 1976 which show lots of six and seven acres subdivided with no frontage on state roads. The supervisors eliminated the tax relief on livestock and farm machinery to give farmers relief, she continued. At the same time, Mrs. Neal maintained, she’s been unable to get answers from local officials. “This has dragged on for seven months. I need relief too!” she concluded. “This whole business was on my desk when I took over the job of zoning administrator in December," Konick responded. On his own initiative, he said, he brought the matter before both the BZA and planning commission and received a ruling that the proposed land division was illegal under current ordinances because the property was served by a private street and one of the lots created by the subdivision would be smaller than 25 acres. Konick noted that Mrs. Neal had described her road as “muddy and at times impassable...” “That's Route 622," Neal interjected. ”1 wasn’t referring to our private road. It has a 50-foot right-of-way and is in better condition than most of the state roads in the county.” Problems with conditions of private roads is the reason why the county enacted restrictions against serving small lots with such roads. Konick countered, adding that he knew nothing about the 1976 transactions involving recordation of a sixacre and a seven-acre lot Garden Economics BLACKSBURG—Colorful seed catalogs are arriving in many Virginia homes, enticing home vegetable gardeners to plan for another gardening season. "More individuals should join the ranks of home vegetable gardeners," said Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home horticulture Diane Relf, because it is usually economically worthwhile. "In 1980, we planted a small, intensively cultured, garden in a 10x20-foot plot at the Virginia Tech horticulture farm,” said the specialist. “From this, we harvested $145 worth of produce." In 1981, the garden was enlarged to 11 by 22 feet. Water was made available and the soil was enriched with more organic matter. The total value of the produce harvested was $298 or $1.02 per square foot. ^Country Manor!

Supervisor Hubert Gilkey asked if the small lots on private streets referred to by Mrs. Neal were platted before the zoning ordinance adoption. “1 don't know,” she replied. “You all just crucify some people and some people you just let go,” she charged, noting that she had been advised to come to the supervisors for a solution to her problem. "We would appreicate anything you can do,” Mrs. Neal said, adding that her husband would be doing the talking before the board if her wasn’t suffering from a severe case of asthma and emphysema. No Right To Approve “We can’t do anything about your problem until our ordinances change," replied Latham. He added that legal advisors have told the supervisors they have no right under existing county law to allow the Neals to subdivide. In the on-going review and revisions of the zoning or dinances, there has been no proposal made to allow subdivision of lots smaller than 25 acres on private rights-of-way. Konick reported. “Well. I think the county officials should come and purchase my place—I want out!” Mrs. Neal announced, adding that she had been advised to go to the BZA. the zoning administrator, the planning commission and the supervisors, all to no avail. "The last word's been said unless you want to go to court," countered Latham. Bill Donald of Castleton asked how the original owner, Oscar Lindgren, managed to sell off his property, including nine acres to the NPEA, two parcels to the Neals, and lots to Phil Butten. James Grigsby and others. “How did he get away with it and yet she wants to sell 30 acres and she can’t do it?" All land sold by Lindgren that was less than 25 acres in size fronted on a state road, Konick replied. The one exception was James Grigsby and his six-acre lot was approved by the zoning administrator because it adjoined land Grigsby already owned, he added. “What do we do if we want to put a road in there?" Mrs. Neal asked. Konick answered that the road must be built to state specifications and the highway department must agree to accept it into the state system after first getting approval from the supervisors.

Panther Tales By RICHIE BURKE and LORI FRYE The program which was started last year for gifted and talented students by Ms. Laurie Marshall, has recently been restructured. This program was established to allow students, who show a desire, to further their learning experience through classes and projects other than those offered in the normal high school curriculum. There are many different areas in which gifted students wish to learn. For this reason, Ms. Marshall has established three types of enrichment activities. The first includes exposure to people, places and processes which spark their interests. The second type deals with group skill training. Group skill training involves group work with problem solving. The third type involves actual creation and production of students’ personal ideas. Another phase of the program allows the students to meet and learn about the careers of various professionals. Among these are local professionals: James J. Kilpatrick and Eugene McCarthy, who will be discussing various journalistic techniques. The students will have an opportunity to work under two professionals of their choice. The choices for this semester include the fields of per forming arts, animals, law, writing, and art. These classes will begin March 8th. The Varsity Club met this past Tuesday to give the letter men the opportunity to order jackets and shirts which bear Varsity Club insignia. President Rusty Settle also discussed volunteers from the Varsity Club who would like to help with the Fodderstack race. This enables the students to get involved in community projects.

Trapping Bill Proposed By SEAN ADAMS \run<1rl Kirhmomf Burrai Trapping A Senate committee reported a bill Monday that would allow counties to outlaw trapping within 50 leet of a primary or secondary road. The Senate is expected to vote on the measure later this week. Del. George P. Beard Jr. (R-Culpeper). who introduced the bill, t o I d the Senate Agricultural. Conservation and Natural Resources Committee that the bill is needed because persons have Four Cent Gas Hike Rejected Fdr the second consecutive day, a divided House of Delegates rejected an increase in statewide gasoline taxes and a formula that would have reallocated more highway construction money to high growth areas. The House voted 52-47 to approve a bill sponsored by Del. Archibald A. Campbell, (D-Wythe) that would raise $45 million over the next biennium through increases in truck fees and other motor vehicle fees. The bill proposed no gasoline tax hike, however. Most of Tuesday's debate centered on an amendment introduced by Delegates Orby L. Cantrell (D^jWise) and Warren Stambaugh.

But the committee amended the bill so localities could not prohibit trapping if landowners who own property along highways give permission for trapping on their land. Del. Beard said he offered the amendment at the request of House Speaker A. L- Philpott (D-Henry). because in Henry County some persons own land right up to the edge of some highways. per gallon gasoline tax hike and would have distributed more money to high growth areas. The amendment was defeated on Tuesday, 49-49, and a similar plan was rejected Monday, 50-47. Rappahannock County would not have qualified as a high growth area under the bill. Del. Raymond R. “Andy” Guest. (R-Warren), voted against both high growth amendments. On Monday, however. Guest voted in favor of a three cents per gallon increase in gasoline tax under the current funding distribution formula. "The four cents thoroughly disrupted the distribution formula,” Guest said. "But four cents was also more than 1 was willing to go. I think a fairly distributed three cent increase was fine but four cents was too much.” The original bill, cosponsored by Dels. Raymond R. “Andy" Guest Jr. (RWarren) and Kenneth B. Rollins (R-Loudoun), has been approved by the House of Delegates. David L. "Zeke" Ferguson, master of the Old Dominion Hounds, told the Senate committee that he supports the bill. “We are not against legitimate trappers.” he said. "We are against people who trap illegally." He added. “We want to protect our foxes from people who trap illegally." ERA Six senators filed a petition last week with the Virginia Supreme Court, asking the court to declare that the Virginia Senate has ratified the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The ERA received a 20-19 majority in the Senate two weeks ago but failed because Senate rules require 21 votes for ratification of an amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Former Del. Elise B. Heinz filed the petition on behalf of the senators after notifying Lt. Gov. Richard J. Davis and Senate Clerk J. T. Shropshire, who were both named as defendants. The petition states that the 21-vote rule violates the state constitution. Sen. Joseph V. Gartlan Jr. (D-Fairfax). one of the senators who filed the petition, protested Davis’ ruling that the ERA failed even though it got a 20-19 majority. But Gartlan's appeal was rejected by the Senate.

New Administrator In addition, the superintendent asked for an additional administrative slot, director of special services, at a salary of $25,000. There was no public explanation offered detailing the duties of or the need for the new position. Mrs. Massie noted that discussion of the special services position would be reserved for executive session. From the comments in open session, it appears that the director of special services will handle Title 1 programs since half the salary for the proposed job is to come from that source. The assistant superintendent who is now Title I supervisor and has half his salary paid with Title I money will be paid entirely with regular budget funds should the new slot be approved. Estabrook proposed an allocation of $3,000 for audit expenses; $2,000 to continue unqualified audit procedures instituted this year and $500 for setting up a new double entry bookkeeping system. In the proposed 1982-83 budget, Estabrook said, line item 218 (postage, telephone and telegraph) reflects the same 17 percent hike experienced this year, which means, apparently, that it will increase from $3,500 to $4,095. The superintendent said that expenditures for line item 220 (expenses of ad ministrative personnel) are difficult to project and so he’d included a ten percent increase as a starting point, bringing the appropriation up to $2,970 from $2,700 last year (which included $1,000 for the Estabrooks’ moving expenses). Legal Fees Less than $3,000 was spent in 1980-81 from line item 299 (contractual services and expenditures), according to Estabrook. Last year, the board put $12,000 in that category, including $7,000 for architectural fees. When the supervisors cut the proposed budget, however, that $7,000 was one of the first items deleted to absorb the bottom line reduction. Since expenditures were below $3,000, Estabrook suggested that amount be allocated for 1982-83 for the line item (which covers the school board’s legal fees). Chairman Massie replied that she would like to see the appropriation remain at $5,000. The rest of the board agreed, noting that it’s impossible to predict when legal services will be needed. For line item 319 (office supplies) Estabrook applied the same ten percent increase he’s using as a ‘‘starting point" in other areas of the budget, going from $1,500 to $1,650. With no school census scheduled with the coming year, the superintendent proposed reducing line item 326 (census, surveys and reports) from $1,000 to $500. Line item 111C und> r attendance and health services, compensation of psychologists, is the identical amount in the superintendent’s proposed budget, $11,240, as in this year’s. The same applies to line item 198 (child labor administration). School board accountant Fay Sudduth explained that law requires the school board office to issue work permits to youngsters under 16. Portions of the salaries of office secretaries are charged to this $1,000 during summer months when the secretaries are handling work permits, she said. "There is no indication of any additional need here,” Estabrook said of line 316 (medical and dental supplies), apparently meaning that the $420 allocation for the school's fluoride program remains at the same level in the proposed budget. Estabrook said his draft budget includes 10 percent increases for line items 135, 136 and 142 under transportation (compensation of supervisor, bus drivers and garage emloyees) Robert Eastham noted that he wanted to discuss how the amounts are "divided up” in executive session. The board members agreed that a projection on 1982-83 insurance premiums is contingent upon their decision to expand coverage, action expected at the March 9 meeting. Only one family is currently receiving payments of lieu of transportation for' an annual total of $90. Estabrook reported. On that basis, he said, the proposed budget reduces that line item expenditure from $1,000 to $500. Other transportation costs, the line item covering physicals for drivers, is projected at $400, figuring on 25 drivers at $15 each. Assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik reported that he is proposing a "significant decrease” in line item 300 (repairs, tires, parts and supplies), dropping from $16,800 in the current budget to $14,000 suggested for 1982-83. The decrease is based on actual expenditures which totalled oivly $12,000 for that category in 1980-81. he explained. Gas Lowered In regard to line item 312 (gasoline, oil and lubricants). Sudduth said the school's supplier. Aubrey North, wouldn't risk a guess as to what gas prices will be in the coming year but felt that a 5 percent increase will "cover anything that might occur.” She added, however, that another gas supplier in Culpeper predicted gas prices will decline over the summer. Nancy Reeve countered Estabrook's proposal for budgeting five percent over what was actually spent for gas this year with a suggestion that the allocation (Continued on Page 10) The Final Tribute CLORE FUNERAL HOME “Thk IIumkok Tinii cirm i.

Mads Cars_ Jack’s Service Cen 30 Ashby Street Warren ton 347 when you open your next electric bill. The winter of ’82 will long be remembered for its extremely cold temperatures, heavy snowfalls, and record demands for electricity. And one effect of the weather will be showing up in your electric bill. It will be higher, because the colder it is, the more electricity you use. How cold has it been? As measured at our Hagerstown office, the average temperature on 29 of the first 37 days of 1982 has been freezing or below. In fact, the U.S. Weather Service has recorded all-time record lows on some days. Wind conditions have made it even more severe. When it is that cold for a sustained time period, heating systems must work harder. More lighting is needed during shorter daylight hours. Ground water is colder and it takes more electricity for water heating. With the bad weather, people spend more time indoors cooking, watching TV or other leisure activities. The cold weather brought an all-time peak use of electricity on January 11 when customer demand on the PE system hit 1,651,000 kilowatts. That’s nearly 7 percent higher than last winter’s highest use, and nearly 10% higher than forecast. We’re pleased that we were able to supply all the electricity you needed during this cold spell, thanks to the completion of the new $779 million Pleasant’s Power Station. With these higher winter bills coming, we recommend to you our monthly payment plan which levels out your electric bills over the year. It’s a simple and easy way for you to budget your payments and avoid the higher winter bills. We can also help you should you have a problem paying your bill. We will work with you on a schedule of payments, or direct you to agencies which may provide financial assistance if you qualify. And, above all, we can help you conserve on your use of electricity. We have literature available at your request, and we have specially-trained employees who will do energy audits of your home. We can’t control the weather, but we’re trying to assure an adequate supply of energy for your needs and will work with you on the safe and efficient use of that energy in your home.

Finish 3rd In District Panthers Fall In Semi-Final District Tournament Rappahannock’s basketball season fizzled to an end last Wednesday night in Front Royal as the Panthers lost to William Monroe. 41-39, in the second round of the Skyline District Tournament. The varsity’s starting five seemed to have their offensive game in gear in the opening period, recapturing the lead after the Dragons jumped out to a 6-2 advantage with 4:08 on the clock. After a traveling call on William Monroe, Carl Frye connected on a short jumper and then on the next trip down court, pulled in an offensive rebound for a layup to tie the score at six all. Robert Myers hit from close range and then Rap pahannock’s fast moving guard fed to Mike Leake, wide open under the basket, to put the Panthers in front, 10-7. Frye's outside jumper at the buzzer ender the first quarter with RCHS up bv five, 12-7. Rappahannock’s tight zone defense kept William Monroe moving inside to score in the second period but the Dragons found their range beyond the key and bombed away from 20 feet and more to draw closer and then stay one basket behind RCHS. At the same time the Dragons got hot, the Panthers went cold, hitting nly two of 12 field goal attempts. With the score tied at 19 and 42 seconds left, William Monroe held the ball for the Menus March 8-13 RCHS Monday Sausage pizza, tossed salad, pineapple upside down cake, choice of milk.

JENKINS, AUCTIONEER last shot of the half but failed to come up with a score after losing control on a traveling call with three seconds on the clock. The second half started badly for the Panthers when a pass from Leake to Gregg Martin was stolen and the* Dragons took the lead on the following lay-up. The Panthers got off good shots but it looked like someone had dropped a lid across the basket at their end of the court as the ball bounced off the backboard, off the rim—everywhere but through the'-net. The Dragons broke open the 27-27 tie that opened the final period, hitting from the foul line, from underneath and from outside. The Panthers struggled to stay within striking distance and despite William Monroe’s efforts at a slow-down, tied the score at 33-33 with just over two minutes left. But RCHS committed several key fouls and the Dragons connected at the line to scratch their way up by five, 33-38. Myers scored on a short jumper with 55 to pull the Panthers within three, 35-38 but a spate of fouls by Frye and Leake—disputed by RCHS fans—put the Dragons back on top by five, 40-35 with only 22 seconds showing. Leake cut it to 40-37 with a lay-up but was then forced to commit a foul, his fifth, to stop the clock at four seconds. The Dragons connected on one from the Arrests Made In Larceny Three Amissville youths have been arrested for petty larceny in the theft of gasoline and tools on February 22, according to Trooper R. A. Baines. Deputy John Godlweski and Baines, investigating the theft at the property of Arthur Henry Diggs on Route 637 of hand tools and gas, have secured warrants for Robert B. Moore, David Barr and Johnny Miller. They have been released on, bond for a hearing March 23. Deputy John H. Woodward is investigating the theft of $200 from Wakefield School at Hurtl> when someone entered the building after hours. Apparently a patriotic thief for three flags were also taken. according to Woodward. Hunting (Continued from Page 1) control hunting with dogs by enacting a law that prohibits dogs from running loose off their owner's property without being under the direct control of their owner. Adoption of the two ordinances will accomplish at least one end, according to Keiim If the supervisors exhaust the legal tools available in enabling legislation, “then when we go back to the Game Commission next year, they will have to be more receptive." Keim said. With Gilkey abstaining, the supervisors voted unanimously to schedule public hearings on the two proposed ordinances for their next regularly monthly meeting, April 5, at 10 a.m. Invisible threads are the strongest ties. r $&'***’ ‘Sportswear« 35% OFF oPv >MV „a* *oiw.»wS« #&** * Beautifully Embroidered Caftans -75% OFF j I •Cocktail and Evening Dresses - 35% and more OFF -RARE OPPORTUNITY:Men’s fine Woolen Sweaters and Cotton Lyle Turtleneck Shirts at j GREAT REDUCTIONS, due to discontinuation of men’s wear.

Glenn Fletcher, usually in double figures, came up with zero for the night, missing, every attempt from the floor and both tries from the foul line. Ironically, Rappahannock beat William Monroe the previous week in the final regular season game to put the Dragons in a tie for first place with Stonewall Jackson. William Monroe ended with second seed for the tournament after falling to the Mount Jackson team in a play-off game last Monday night. A rescheduled final this Monday saw William Monroe manage a 15-foot off-balance jumper at the buzzer to down the Generals for the Skyline District championship. 49-47.

Hounds To Race (Continued from Page 1) race, boasts contenders including Dr. William Wright’s Timbuktu and his bay gelding Double Recipe, last week’s winners at Casanova. With 21 entries for this race, the three-quarter mile flat race will probably be split with each horse running separately. If this is the case, each horse is favored to win its division. Because Roy (Tennessee) Graham was injured, last week, a rider has not been named yet to run Man of Rhythm in the 2‘/j-mile Mary D. Slaughter timber race. Of the race’s 12 entries. Lazy Condor ridden by David Semmes of Potomac Hunt is considered the greatest challenge to Man of Rhythm. Semines, on Lazy Condor, won the equivalent timber race at Oatlands last year. Among the remaining five races is the Hound Race, the unique feature of the Rappahannock Hunt Pointto-Point. Fifty hounds are entered for the 1982 race, the favorite and three-time winner being Susie, owned by Kelly Corbin of Culpeper. The hound making the fastest time over a scented course wins the race. Owners Americans Like Chicken BLACKSBURG-Amer icans are eating more chicken than ever before. In the last two decades, the consumption of chicken has risen from 27.8 pounds in 1960 to 51.2 pounds in 1980, a gain of 84 percent. Virginia Tech Extension poultry specialists noted that this is one of the many significant changes in the eating habits of Americans which has occurred during the past 20 years. The increasing demand for poultry has aided the growth of the poultry industry in Virginia. The Old Dominion ranks 10th among the states in broiler production and sixth in turkey production. Based on a recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study, per capita con sumption of cheese rose from 8.3 pounds in 1960 to 17.9 pounds in 1980, an increase of 116 percent. Consumption of frozen orange juice increased 98 percent. Beef consumption was up 21 percent, from 74.3 to 78.1 pounds. Some foods showed declines. Among them were potatoes, down 45 percent; eggs, down 17 percent; sugar, down 12 percent; and fresh peaches, down 38 percent. All fluid milk consumption decreased from 290 pounds per capita in 1960 to 243 pounds in 1980.

Black History Program Highlights Pride, Patriotism And Faith By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Kappahannork Staff U ritrr Traditional values of religion and patriotism were the underpinnings in Sunday's black history program sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association. The audience of 250 in the elementary school auditorium listened to presentations with such titles as “We Shall Overcome,” “Let Freedom Ring," “Black Beginnings” and “They Had a Dream,” highlighting the achievements of black Americans over the past two centuries. But time and time again, the speakers gave God the credit for the strides blacks have made. “We like to think we can do all things by ourselves,” said Rev. Donahue Scott, pastor of churches in Orange County and Washington, D. C., a public school teacher, tax consultant and auditor. “But we come from the dust of the earth. You didn’t have anything when you came here and you won’t have anything when you leave!” Scott reminded the audience, his voice ringing the rafters. To climb all the way up the mountain of equality, blacks need God’s amazing grace, a grace that can’t be earned, a grace that is the unmerited favor of God bestowed through his son, Scott thundered. Jesus is the model for amazing grace, “a model that does not tarnish and does not get old...a model that was good enough for yesteryear, is good enough for today and will be good enough for tomorrow.” Fittingly, speakers and singers made their presentations on a stage before backdrops created by students at the elementary school in honor of George Washington’s 250th birthday. The Father of Our Country looked down flanked by paintings of the Liberty Bell and the American Eagle carrying the inscription “Liberty and Justice for All." Sense Of History “People need a sense of history in order to make history," said mistress of ceremonies Phyllis Highland after an opening selection. “We Have Come This Far By Faith,” sung by the Hopewell Baptist Church choir and a rendition of the Negro National Anthem on which the audience joined in. "We must know who we are, where we have been and what we have accomplished before we can know where we’re going,” Highland said. “Black history is an important part of understanding for all Americans—black and white.” Negroes added labor which contributed to the economic development of this country, she continued. They made important contributions as musicians, scholars, scientists, artists, writers, politicians, ministers and teachers. Highland noted. “And the list goes on and on.” Highland and other speakers—Lillian Aylor, Mrs. A. W. Broadus. Pearl Groves and Charlotte Aylor — detailed the accomplishments of Harriett Tubman, the black Moses; W. E. B. Dubois, founder of the national Association for the Advancement of Colored People; black leaders of expeditions to the New World; Julian Bond, the first black nominee for the vicepresidency of the United States; singers Mahalia Jackson and Marion Anderson; Phyliss Wheatley, the first major black poet who in 1773 authored the second book published by an American woman; Edward Brooke, the first black elected to the U. S. Senate; Patricia Harris who as secretary for Housing and Urban Development was the first black named to a Cabinet post; Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court Justice and others "who left footprints in the sands of time.” “They had a dream,” said Mrs. Broadus. Unity A Most “When a group liek this comes together, it means action,” noted H. M. Brooks, president of the 7th District Black Caucus. "Divided, we stand alone. We can’t win battles." —Rappahannock New* Photo/D. Hutch in aon THE YOUTH CHOIR of Washington’s First Baptist Church was a popular feature at last Sunday’s program on black history sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary of Wayland Baptist Blue Ridge Association. To the delight of the audience, the youngsters"!front, left to right) Sherron Bodie, Edna Shanks, William Shanks, Tasha Roy, Jennifer Shanks, (middle) Orlando Frye, Tony Frye, Herbert Shanks, (rear) Marie Davis, Dexter Freeman, Irving Starks, Dorethea Butler and Jimmy Freeman—returned to the stage several times to perform gospel favorites. The choir is directed by Nanette Butler (right rear). A Guessing Game - (Continued from Page 7) be dropped from the $66,500 allocated this year to $55,000. She noted that only $21,000 has been spent to date for gas in 1981-82. As a compromise, the board settled on $56,500 suggested,by Nelson Lane, a total of last year’s expenditure for gas plus 15 percent. Lysik explained that the proposed budget reflects the purchase of two additional buses required to keep the fleet on a rotation that retires vehicles after ten years. (The new purchases will fall under the category of replacement of transportation vehicles; neither a percentage increase nor a dollar amount was mentioned for that line item.) Line item 411 (replacement of service vehicles) includes an additional car for the proposed director of special services, Estabrook noted. Again, no percentage increase or dollar amount was mentioned. Lunch Program In the discussion of food services, the superintendent reported that reimbursement for this year's school lunch program is running at only 26 percent of what was anticipated due to a significant drop in the number of lunches purchased by students. If reimbursement from federal and state sources doesn’t cover costs and the number of lunches sold continues to slide, he added, it may be necessary to consider reductions in cafeteria staff. In the past, the food services category has shown zeroes all across the budget page for compensation of cafeteria staff since salaries are paid with federal and state flow-through funds. At the request of Robert Eastham aad Nelson Lane, the superintendent agreed to show all former “off-budget" items in the proposed 198283 budget, including revenue expected from federal and state sources. revenue generated through food sales, manufacturers’ rebates and salaries of cafeteria staff. In the proposed budget, the line item for summer school remains the same at $500 to remburse tuition costs for students who successfuly complete a course offered by another school division. For 1982-83, Estabrook proposes an expansion of adult education with four different evening courses to be offered at instructional costs of $480 for each 60 hour class. In the final budget item presented at last Tuesday’s session, Estabrook report^ that debt service on existing literary loans amounts to $26,200 for the elementary school, $5,225 for the original high school, $3,300 for the high school expansion and $2,650 for the county's share of Piedmont Regional School's capital outlay, a total of $37,375. As ot next year, the balance on the elementary loan will be $419,200; on the original high school loan $83,600 and on the high school expansion $26,400. Estabrook noted that the state has a $2,000,000 ceiling on literary loans for a school division with the funds still available at three percent interest. In working up his budget proposals. Estabrook has had input from both teachers and citizen advisory groups, according to chairman Massie. The superintendent, in asking for comments from the board, said he is trying to make this year’s effort "a team building of the budget.” Private Meeting Sought At the next special budget meeting set for March 16. Estabrook is supposed to present the balance of his spending proposals for the coming year. Although the commonwealth's attorney has already advised the board that its budget work sessions must be open to the public under Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act, the board voted unanimously at the start of last Tuesday’s meeting to seek advice from a school law expert on whether they can meet in private at a member’s home to discuss the budget and anything else related to the schools. Lane maintained that a closed session would benefit "all of us, the county and our school system” by giving the board members the opportunity to "bring up any little strange ideas we have without it hitting the press.” His motion to check with Phillip Stone, the school board's special legal counsel, was seconded by Eastham and passed unanimously. “It wouldn’t hurt to have the perimeters of the Freedom of Information Act explained," Reeve added. At the finish of Estabrook's budget ' , Y v presentation at 9:55, Massie asked for a motion to go into executive session “for personnel—consideration of employment.” Almost three and a half hours later at 1:15 a.m., the board returned to open meeting. Massie announced that personnel was discussed but no action taken. The board also voted unanimously to authorize Estabrook to write to the Virginia High School League’s executive secretary seeking a waiver to allow Bill Chiles to coach high school track. After adjournment, Mrs. Massie acknowledged that the board had discussed Estabrook’s proposal for a director of special services in executive session but maintained that establishment of the new position was proper to discuss in private since it would have an effect on other existing administrative positions. - AiwmM Ncwapopcrt Suit Photo/ Ante TWUW FIRST TIME OUT and still in her first year riding, young Colleen Murray was part of winning Rappahannock Hunt pairs team, winn the trophy for optimum time at Saturday’s Casanova Races. Janet Quaintance (L) was Colleen’s winning team mate. Joe Dickson of Casanova presented the awards Brooks described the past situation for blacks in Rappahannock County as “very, very heart breaking,” with no blacks hired as new teachers in the public schools here for an 11 -year period and only one black student to leave the county for higher education. “Unless we work together, our future will be very dark,” he warned. But the message of performers on the stage in Sunday’s program was primarily one of hope and religious faith as expressed by Cora White in two beautifully sung numbers, “I Want to be at the Meeting” and ‘‘When the. War is Over.” Nils Aylor read a sermon, ‘‘Moses and the Burning Bush,” written years ago by James Johnson, his lilting cadence capturing the audience to the final line: counm Horst/ ROBERT METCALFE GENERAL CONTRACTOR New Homes •Cabins •Additions • Remodeling Box 147 Flint Hill, Va. 703•675*3897 Va.

Blacks should feel a sense of pride for an America that developed and expanded with their ardent support, maintained mistress of ceremonies Phyllis Highland. Blacks have left an indelible mark on society, she said. "We should be proud of our heritage. We should be proud of our past and we should look forward to the future with anticipation...The history of black America is the record of America’s battle with itself,” Highland said. “It is a story of human failure and cruelty but it is also a story of human courage and perseverance,” she noted, adding that the organizers of the program hoped they sparked the curiosity of the audience to read more of black achievements and history. “We need to know from whence we came,” she concluded.
