As part of a plea bargain, Tyler 19, of Culpeper, pleaded guilty to six charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny, offenses which occurred last July. After imposing sentence. Robertson suspended the six terms, which were to run concurrently with each other and consecutively with ten years imposed for similar offenses in Culpeper, and placed Tyler on five years supervised probation. Tyler’s court appointed attorney David Konick maintained that Tyler was on drugs at the time the crimes were committed. He said his client, one of four individuals originally charged with the robberies, was “just along more or less for the ride...not the mastermind. He just happened to be in the car.” According to Konick, Tyler, who has no previous criminal record, is a good candidate for rehabilitation through drug counseling. In accord with recommendations in the presentence report submitted by probation officer Dean Hahn, Judge Robertson stipulated that Tyler take part in a drug treatment program as part of his five-year probation and required that the defendant make restitution for his prorata share of items taken in the robberies plus pay court costs. Acknowledging that he’d imposed a more lenient sentence than the plea agreement called for, Robertson stressed that he didn't consider the charges against Tyler to be minor and warned him to abide by probation terms, particularly to stay away from drugs, or (Continued on Page 12) Community Concert Memberships Available Community Concert Association Memberships for the 1982-83 Season are offered through April 16.

HITCHIYSON Kn|>|»«K;iiiiMM'k >♦•%** Stuff Vk ril< r Confronted with zoning ordinance restrictions against development in Sperryville's flood plain-and apparent mistakes in the official zoning map, Rappahannock's Board of Zoning Appeals denied a special use permit for a used car lot at last Thursday's meeting and forwarded another permit for a pool hall on to the supervisors for clarification. Joseph Atkins reported that Department of Motor Vehicle regulations require an extra 10 square feet added on to the existing building which he plans to use as office and storage space for a used car business. He agreed to limit cars kept on the lot, located west of Sperryville on the south side of Route 211, to eight vehicles at a time and noted that he will offer sales only and not automotive repairs. Chairman Lee Bird asked for the zoning category of Atkins’ lot. “I would prefer for the board to make that determination." replied zoning administrator David Konick. "But I think it’s flood plain,” he said, describing the building’s location as less than 50 feet away from the Thornton River. “It appears that the flood plain district goes right up to the road," Konick said, spreading zoning maps across the table. “And he's between the river and the road." "To my knowledge, it’s never flooded in that area,” Atkins interjected, adding that he'd checked with old timers in the neighborhood and none could remember high water ever reaching his —Rappahannock New* Photo/ Wend) Sewt AT LAST WEEK S workshop on the new economic and community development block grants, Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority member Donald Gore (center) checked the odds on funding for Sperryville’s sewer project with John Capelle from Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District, sponsors of the workshop.

Bird pointed out that Atkins’ property lies well within the flood plain, an area determined by soil type, not high water mark. Not Hazardous “I’m not asking for anything hazardous." Atkins countered, noting that parked cars could be moved in case of flooding. As for construction, he said he's proposing only an extension to an existing building, a garage-storage area which won’t be open to the general public and will be used only to prepare cars for sale. "Our hands are really tied in this matter," said BZA member Peter Kramer. "Our ordinance says we clearly can’t permit it.. There’s no way we can issue a sDecial use permit for a building sitting in a flood plain.” He suggested that Atkins bring the issue up with the planning commissioners during their on-going ordinance revision sessions to determine just exactly what can be done in Sperryville's flood plain. Konick agreed that the ordinance currently specifies no permit may be issued for flood plain property as shown on the zoning map. “We can't authorize any use except what is permitted by this ordinance,” Kramer continued, reading over the list of uses for flood plain ennumerated in the zoning regulations: recreational uses, plant nurseries, forestry, fences, pipe lines and pumping stations and agricultural and conservation uses. (Continued on Page 12) Teachers Propose Index Salary Scale The Rappahannock County Education Association presented the school board on Tuesday night with an indexed salary scale that uses a starting figure for 1982-83 of $12,740, a 10.4 percent increase over current pay for beginning teachers. According to RCEA spokesman Richard Smith, the 10.4 percent increase reflects the average cost of living rise for the past year, a figure taken from the Labor Department’s Consumer Price Index. The indexed salary scale with what is essentially a three percent pay raise for each year of teaching experience is “designed for the career teacher,” said Smith. Raises of more than three percent come after the third year of teaching when four percent increase is suggested at the same time the teacher is put under continuing contract. At that point, said Smith, "the board has made a decision this is a valuable person to have in the school system.” Four percent raises come also after seven and eight years, a time when teachers traditionally decide wheather to stay with the system or not, he said. After the 16th year of teaching—a point the scale recognizes as maximum salary at one-and-a-half times the starting pay a beginning teacher receives—raises drop down to two percent awarded for every three additional years experience. "Basically, it’s a sign of appreciation to the teacher who’s given a whole career to Rappahannock County,” Smith said. The same 10.4 percent cost of living raise the RCEA proposed be applied to the existing starting salary for teachers is also being suggested for bachelor and masters degree supplements. 26 Percent Hike In State Funds As for funding the proposed salary increase. County Tags Now On Sale Rappahannock County vehicle tags are now on sale at the office of the Treasurer in Washington. The deadline for purchase and display of the tag is May 1, 1982. To obtain your windshield \ticker, taxes must be paid and the 1982 assessment declared. The Treasurer’s office is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., according to Frances Foster, County Treasurer. Smith reported that a bill raising basic aid payments from last year’s $1,185 per child to $1,306 per child has been passed by the House and by the Senate Committee and is now before the entire Senate. If adopted and signed by the Governor as expected, the increase will mean Rappahannock will get a total in basic aid from the state of $450,064, a 26.51 percent increase over the $355,761 the county received last year. If it goes through as proposed, the county’s percentage increase will amount to the fourth largest of any school division in the state, according to Smith. He noted that Governor Charles Robb (who made improved pay for teachers one of his campaign pledges) has suggested that 90 percent of the expected basic aid increase—or $84,872—go directly to teachers' salaries. "That doesn’t cover the total increase proposed in the new salary scale but it cuts down local costs significantly," Smith added. Other components of the RCEA’s proposed package for 1982-83 are full health insurance coverage, duty free lunch, daily planning period, sick leave pool and authorization to use personal leave days for the day prior to holiday recess after giving advance notice and as long as teacher absenteeism doesn't drop below a level set by the administration to ensure (Continued on Page 4) Water Off Water in the Town of Washington will be turned off at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 16 in order to make needed repairs.

Kirhmnmi Bureau RICHMOND—The House and Senate Courts of Justice committees are scheduled to interview three attorneys Wednesday who have been recommended for two new judgeships the General Assembly has approved for the 20th judicial district. Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney Thomas B. Horne, 38, is the only candidate recommended for the new Circuit Court judgeship. Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun) said last week that Mr. Horne will most likely be appointed as the third circuit judge in the district, which includes Loudoun, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. “There’s no obstacle in his way,” Sen. Waddell said of Mr. Horne, a Democrat who was elected commonwealth’s attorney in 1979. The committees will also interview two attorneys for the new judgeship in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. John Ryan, a 66-year-old Middleburg resident and partner of the Leesburg law firm Ryan and Taylor, and Fauquier Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles B. Foley, 35, will be considered for a seat on the juvenile court bench. Sen. Waddell and other Northern Virginia legislators have indicated that Mr. Ryan's age could be a problem for him, because judges in Virginia must retire at 70 and he would not be able to serve his full six-year •erm. Mr. Ryan said in a telephone interview Saturday Sperryville’s Odds Look Good For Block Grant Funds B> DAPHNE hitehinson Hu|»|KiliamitM-k staff V ril» r The latest word on the new community and economic development block grants sounds good, at least as far as funding for Sperryville’s long-delayed sewage disposal system is concerned. The Governor's Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) on block grants spent hours in discussion of sewage treatment facilities since so many of the state’s communities are under EPA mandates to clean up their water, noted John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission which sponsored last Friday’s block grant workshop. PAC ruled that block grant funds can be used as local match for EPA money, he said. With “Sperryville high on EPA's priority list and looking for a local match (for $1,417,000 slated to come from EPA for construction of a sewage disposal system), this fits very nicely with that type of program,” Capelle said. Warrenton mayor Bill Lineweaver, member of PAC, acknowledged that "possibly the greater part of your money (approximately $13 million in FY 1982 for new block grant projects) will go into sewer and water." Capelle estimated that as much as three-fourths of the available funds will be allocated to projects in those two categories although he acknowledged that increasing business and employment opportunities, one of three objectives in the block grant program, will continue to be a hallmark of the Robb administration as it was under former Governor Dalton. In addition to assisting local governments in increasing business and employment opporutnities. the community development block grant program cites two other objectives: assisting local governments in conserving and improving housing conditions and assisting local governments in improving availability and adequacy of community facilities. Sperryville's sewer project falls under the latter category. Total cost of a sewer system for the village has been set at $1,807,800. Of that amount. 75 percent of the cost of the package treatment plant and 85 percent of the cost of the collection system will be covered by the EPA grant, expected to be awarded in FY 1983. That leaves a local share of $450,340 which if borrowed from the Farmers Home Administration at current interest rates will send monthly user fees to $35 per month to amortize the loan. In order to bring down monthly bills to a level affordable by Sperryville residents, Rappahannock's Board of Supervisors, at the request of the Water and Sewer Authority, authorized application for community development block grant funds. According to Capelle, $700,000 is the maximum that can be obtained per project from the block grants. Sperryville needs only (Continued on Page 2) that he did not think his age would be a factor.“We got a president older than 1 am," he said of President Reagan, who was 71 Feb. 6. Mr. Ryan added that he would be willing to waive the lucrative retirement benefits offered to judges if his age became the deciding factor in whether he was appointed to the bench Mr. Foley is likely to face questions concerning alleged conflict of interest charges brought against him and Fauquier County Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Roger A. Inger in 1980 by federal government prosecutors. Both men, in their capacities as private attorneys, represent the Airlie Foundation and Raven’s Hollow Ltd. The two corporations are linked to Dr. Murdock Head, founder of the Airlie conference and education center near Warrenton. Dr. Head was found guilty July 1 of conspiracy to bribe and evade taxes and giving an illegal $1,000 gratuity to former U.S. Congressman Daniel Flood (D-Pa.) in August. 1974. The conviction, which resulted in a 4'/i-year prison sentence, is being appealed by Dr. Head’s attorney. Frank W. Dunham Ir Robert Baldwin, executive secretary of the Virginia Supreme Court, said juvenile court judges are paid $49,340 a year and are credited with three-and-a-ha If years toward retirement benefits for every one year they serve as judges. Sen. Waddell has said the committees might be wary of appointing Mr. Ryan for four years because the state would then be paying him retirement benefits based on 14 years of service. But if Mr. Ryan were to waive those benefits. Sen. Waddell said, the problem could be resolved. “Loudoun County really deserves this judgeship. That’s why it’s being created—because of the caseload in Loudoun County," Sen. Waddell said. “And 1 think that offsets the argument about John Ryan’s age.’’ Sen. William F. Parkerson Jr. (D-Henrico), chairman of the Senate courts committee, said in an interview last week that age is certainly taken into account when interviewing candidates for judgeships. But he added, “1 doubt it would be decisive in and of itself." The committees interview candidates to determine whether they are qualified to serve as judges. If they are found to be qualified, their (Continued on Page 4)

Irish Recipes For An Irish Holiday By THERESA RFA NOI.l)S Kap|i<ihflnn<K'k >*•»» Staff 1 ritrr To most of us, Irish cooking means corned beef and cabbage, boiled potatoes, Irish stew and soda bread. This is a rather limited notion of the cuisine of a country that is still relatively unpolluted, with woods brimming with game, ample rainfall for the fussiest of vegetables and fruits, and coastal waters teeming with salmon. Actually, both cuisines exist side by side in a country where there is severe poverty along with huge old castles and wealthy landowners. For St. Patrick's day, here are some Irish recipes, both plain and fancy. A reader from Bentonville had Irish Soda Bread in the Cashel House Hotel at Cashel Bay in Connemara, and brought home the recipe. Soda bread is the bread made fresh for every meal in Ireland, much like our biscuits in the southern United States. And, like our biscuits, soda bread combines flour, buttermilk and shortening for a bread that is best eaten hot. The soda is alkali and the cream of tartar acid. When they are mixed with sour milk or buttermilk, gas is formed and the heat of the oven makes the gas bubbles expand in a way similar to the action of veast. This Irish recipe has been somewhat altered to conform to our terms.

Bone a shoulder and neck of lamb and cut into small pieces, trimming off surplus fat. Shake the meat in flour and sear in oil until wellbrowned. In a deep pan, put a layer of meat, a layer of sliced potatoes, some of the vegetables and seasoning. Repeat in layers and add just enough water to cover.

Odds Look Good (Continued from Page 1) $264,475 to bring monthly user fees into the $20 range. At Frida/s workshop, both Capelle and Lineweaver emphasized that block grant applications must be tied into a project that is going to benefit low and moderate income people. “It’s all going to boil down to one thing and that is need...and the need always goes along with low and moderate income people,” Warrenton’s mayor stated. “The poorer the community...the more points you get,” Capelle added. According to PD-9’s executive director, the state will begin accepting funding proposals around the middle of May. The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development will evaluate proposals with recommendations for offers of grant awards to be forwarded to the Policy Advisory Committee between midAugust and October. After review and recommendation by PAC, proposals will then be sent on to the Governor for review and announcement of erant awards. Capelle said that evaluation of funding requests will be done on a weighing system that is designed to be objective with fill-in-the-blank, rather than narrative, responses. The system will be divided into 34 percent weight for "community relative need” and 66 percent weight for “community improvement grant impact.” The 34 percent portion is broken down further into ten percent for adjusted gross income, eight percent for population change (with either significant gain or significant loss awarded higher points than stable population), eight percent for an unemployment factor and eight percent for the locality’s taxing ability versus taxing effort. As applied to Sperryvi lie’s proposal, all the above mentioned factors will be measured on a countywide basis. In a handout listing suggested steps for developing a block grant application. Capelle emphasized that “leveraging”— the amount of funds committed to the project from THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

CENTRAL TELEPHONE other local, state, federal and private sources—is a critical component in evaluating the project’s impact on local and program objectives, making up ten percent of that total. Another 15 percent of the points in that category will be awarded on the basis of the percentage of low and moderate income people to be served by the project. Looking over the work sheets after th < -kshop, Donald Gore, i nber of Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority, expressed optimism that Sperryville’s sewer project will qualify for funding and indicated that the Authority will begin work on a funding application for FY 1982 at its March 15 meeting, following Capelle’s guidelines. Legends Surround The Life Of St. Patrick By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Mrwii Staff V ritcr With the observance of St. Patrick’s Day on the anniversary of his death each March 17, Irish - Americans celebrate a man whose life resembled a scenario for a Dungeons and Dragons game. Born in Scotland about 385, before the Anglo-Saxon invasions of the British Isles, Patrick wai captured by Irish marauders and sold into slavery. He worked as a shepherd for many years for an Irish tribal king. During this solitary time, the young man had many visions and dreams. In one dream it was revealed to him that a ship was ready to sail and waited for him to escape. Patrick took the dream as a sign and did make his escape, travelling 200 miles to the spot where the ship lay anchored. Almost everything about Patrick’s life is confused by the legends that grew up around this most unusual and popular man, so it is hard to say what really happened and what did not. One legend tells that when Patrick’s ship landed in Brittany, the crew wandered for weeks in the desolate countryside, nearly starving before Patrick saw in a dream where a herd of wild pigs could be found. Eventually, Patrick made his way back to his parents’ farm where they, understandably, preferred that he stay. But Patrick saw a messenger in a dream bringing him the pleas of the Irish people that he return there to bring Christianity to the Emerald Isle. — KippahantMM-k Nfw* l'hn|o/S. I .at ham ITS SPRING!

We know that there were many obstacles from his “Confessions” published much later to defend his mission to critics. What the obstacles were, we do not know. Patrick was not considered well-educated, his schooling having been interrupted by his years of slavery on an Irish hillside. He did become a bishop and was sent as a missionary to his beloved Ireland. Patrick’s success as a missionary in Ireland was a true phenomenon. He came to a country completely pagan and left it completely Christian. Part of his success might have been because he respected the Druid priests and encouraged the people to preserve some of their customs and incorporate them into Christian practice. Frjom all accounts he was a straightforward, simple but charismatic man who had a quiet but compelling manner. mis visions, dreams, ana mystic way of speaking were quite familiar to the Druids and perhaps helped bridge the gap between their ancient rites and Christianity. Patrick’s critics said that he was rustic and, in his “Confession” the missionary admitted that this was true. He was also criticized for spending a great deal of money in Ireland while living in relative poverty. Patrick admitted this was tr/ie and said that the money was necessary for bribes to insure the safety of his people. A student of St. Patrick’s life, D. A. Binchey, said that “the moral and spiritual greatness bf the man shines through his rustic latin.” It is only througl the "Confession” and another letter written by Patrick to express his indignation at the treatment of some Irish prisoners that we know any facts at all about his life. Most of what else is known is pieced from legends, of which there are many. Patrick is said to have built 300 churches and baptized 120,000 people. He lured the snakes in Ireland into the sea down to the last one. When the last remaining Irish snake was reluctant to jump into the sea, Patrick trapped him in a box and threw him in. To this day there are no snakes in Ireland. Patrick is said to have used the shamrock to explain the concept of the trinity. It is interesting to know that the shamrock was also a Druid fertility symbol. Patrick died back home in Scotland in 461, at the extreme old age for those days of 76. if his birth date is accurate. Although legends have distorted the events of his life, it is obvious that he had a tremendous impact on an entire country. The festivities surrounding St. Patrick’s day started with Irish veterans of the Revolutionary War in Boston. They organized a parade, and that has been the traditional form of celebration ever since. Nowadays, parades march in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Savannah, Atlanta and Chicago.

The Washington Cash Store Has Something For Everybody By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock \rw» Staff I riter ■ The Washington Cash Store, or “Skippy's" as it is more often called, has been the site of a store since William M. Stuart Sr. built it on his property to house his general merchandise operation and banking business. Before its construction, Stuart kept store at the site of the Rush River Company Building on Gay Street in Washington. The present ownership can be traced through the partnership of Clarence Giles, a young man who had worked as a grader since he was a teenager, and Floyd Compton, a traveling salesman originally from Staunton In the 1930's. Clarence Giles bought out his partner, and became the sole proprietor of the Washington Cash Store at the corner of Blue Ridge Avenue and Main Street in the town of Washington. Until right before that time. Mr. William M. Stuart, father of William “Billy” Stuart, also of Washington, had operated a bank in the back of the store, lending money, handling checking accounts, and making investments in the I920’s. The date that he closed his bank is not clear, but before he had the bank in the back of the store, he had owned the whole business. So we may speculate that the name "Washington Cash Store" referred to the bank business and was- not just a name intended to discourage those hoping to buy their goods on credit. The present-day proprietor of the Washington Cash Store. C. E. "Skippy" Giles, son of the former owner.

C. Lea helping him out in his store there. He was really very young, but Mr. Lea liked him so muc'. ,ii. t he sent for him and paid his way to come here." Giles said that his father “either was seventeen years old and had fifteen dollars, or was fifteen years old and had seventeen dollars” when he came here to work for Mr. Lea. Giles was unsure where the original Lea store was. “I think he moved it a couple of times," he said. Finally, the senior Giles went into business, first with Compton, then by himself, at the present location. Jack Miller of Washington was able to supply us with some more detail. Miller told me that Thurmond Lea originally rented the store building from Mr. Stuart, then left that location to build a store where Jenkins’ Auction House is now. It was shortly afterwards that Compton and Giles opened up in the vacant Washington Cash Store. The Lea store was eventually bought by the IGA grocery chain. It is presently serving as an auction house. The Washington Cash Store has stayed in the Giles family. Incidentally, Mr. Miller told us that folks who had money in Mr. Stuart's bank were never faced with financial collapse during the depression. “He never lost a penny,” Miller said. The Washington Cash Store had quite a different look. then, as can be seen by the old pictures of the business. Gas lights provided the illumination for the counters and rows of products available to the consumer of the 1930’s, '40’s and '50's. The Cash Store at that time was a center, not only for shopping, but for the social life, of some of the families who lived back in Harris Hollow. Giles remembers Saturday nights with whole families hanging around the store. "We used to keep pitchforks and shovels out on the porch," he said. "When things started to get loud, we'd rush out and grab the tools and bring them inside." Giles remembers a case where his father did some detective work to literally track down the cause of some items that were missing from the store for several days in a row. The senior Giles put 71 An Old Fashion Show Sunday, March 21 at 2 p.m. Rappahannock County Elementary School Adults $3 Children $1.50 sponsored by Rappahannock Woman’s Club | Proceeds go to the Rappahannock • Elementary School P.A. system and to the scholarship fund for a high school graduate. flour on the stairs leading from the upstairs storeroom down to the store itself. “In the morning there were flour tracks all over the store," Giles said. “He brought a bloodhound in and eventually tracked a man down the hollow who had been stealing food. Evidently, the thief had entered through a window by means of a ladder." Although much has changed since the days when the Cash Store was open from dawn until late at night, Giles said that he still gets his share of folks banging at his door in the middle of the night to open up the store. Although he discourages that kind of business, Giles does try to provide a selection of goods for his customers. "That’s the biggest change, really.” he said. “Now, 1 try to keep a little bit of everything on hand that local people might need." Giles' products range from many that were in demand when his father kept store - kerosene and lamp oil for old-fashioned lamps, lard cans and butchering supplies, garden seeds and all kinds of small tools - to some gourmet products that share shelf space with every day staples: artichoke hearts, Mexican food, fancy cookies. On the counter is the same cash register that has been there almost since the business began. It’s a huge, ornate model that was purchased in 1909. Many of the counters and shelves are just as old. Gone are the chicken coops that used to be in back and the little building that served as the court house before the present court house was built. And Giles has an eye for the future. “If I could change, build or add on. I’d would try to go more in the direction of self-service,” he said. Right now, there's scarcely an inch of space that is wasted. And there will always be room for the old-timers who gather inside in bad weather and the farmers who come into town on rainy days when there's not much that can be done outside, just as they did in horse-and buggy days when folks could also get cash at the Cash Store. -Rappahannock Vwh Photn/T. Reynolds ALTHOUGH THE WASHINGTON Cash Store has been greatly modernized since its beginnings at the turn of the century, proprietor C. E. (“Skippy”) Giles has kept the old cash register, which dates back almost as far as the store. MERCHANDISE OF A typical country store is displayed in the 1900’s. Lit by gas lights and supplying most of the needs of the towns people, Stuart’s store in those days also fulfilled another need. In the rear was a privately-owned bank, one of the last in the country, where Mr. Stuart handled the financial needs of his customers. HORSES AND BUGGIES wait in front of Stuart’s store, now the Washington Cash store operated by C. E. Giles, Jr. This picture was taken in the early part of the century. The customers of the day also appear to have dressed very formally to do their shopping.

The RCEA also presented a new pay scale for extra duty supplements based on the number of hours put in by different sponsors this year and figured at minimum wage of $3.35 per hour. Begun In Private The teachers' proposals came after the board returned at 9:30 p.m. from a two hour executive session for consultation with legal counsel. The board went immediately into closed door session with its special legal advisor. Phillip Stone of Harrisonburg, after convening at 7:30. The regular agenda for the March i..eeting wasn’t attacked until 11 p.m. and by 11:30, only the first item, approval of minutes, had been disposed ot. Assistant superintendent Jerry Lysik, who also serves as transportation supervisor, reported that the station wagon used for transporting special education students is “not at all in good repair...It’s just hanging by a thread at this point." He pointed to information in a fact sheet and recommendations passed out only to board members, apparently indicating the low milage pier gallon that the vehicle is getting. “It’s really a testimony to quality maintenance,” he added. According to Lysik, the station wagon is on the road all day, every day, picking up pre-schoolers for individual work with the child development specialist and returning them home to various parts of the county, taking trainable mentally retarded students to Culpeper and back for classes, transporting speech therapy youngsters and a TMR multiply handicapped child to the elementary school and then back home. Chairman Beverly Massie noted that most of the handicapped children served in Rappahannock's public schools are currently being transported in regular school buses using special harnesses. But ’ this arrangement presents a safety hazard, she said, because the handicapped youngsters themselves or, in some cases, regular students are undoing the harnesses. She also noted that the special students are frequently made fun of by other children. Van Approved Lysik recommended that the board purchase a multipurpose van for special education transport, using funds from the $21,300 allocation in the current budget originally intended for a regular school bus. He noted that the board could stay close to its ten year replacement cycle for buses if two more are included in the 1982-83 budget with delivery secured over the summer. In a cafeteria report, superintendent Robert Estabrook noted that the school lunch program is operating in the red for the second month in a row. with cash receipts running total of $268 less than bills. According to the superintendent, approximately 43 percent of the students are buying lunch with a further break-down of 63 percent participation at the elementary school and only 28 percent at the high school. Estabrook presented the board with proposals for clarifying and compiling the school policy manual submitted by a private firm and a school board association consultant. The superintendent and board members noted a wide discrepancy in price between the two bids but mentioned only one figure of $3,750, apparently the lower offer from the school board association consultant. In his recommendation that the $3,750 bid be accepted, Estabrook noted that the consultant is not being asked to enact or define policy, only to gather current policy, including board minutes, memos and other records, and compile the material in a standard form which the school board can then review. Board member Robert Eastham handed out copies of an insurance report drawn up by himself and Nelson Lane as a committee of two. He noted that the enclosed recom mendations—which weren't ennumerated publicly—on broadening coverage call for a premium increase of $3,771. The board agreed to study the committee's proposals and act on them at the March 16 meeting in time for Estabrook to plug figures for premiums into the proposed 1982-83 budget. By consensus, the board accepted Lane’s recommendations on roof work at the elementary school. Bids will be solicited for patching and repairing and existing roof, spraying it with sealer and applying a coat of gravel. No Mention was made of any work to be done at the high school roof which was also reported last month to be leaking seriously. In another change in the school calendar, the board substituted June 5 for April 17 as a make-up day should another school day be missed because of weather. The switch was made so as not to conflict with the Fodderstack Classic Road Race scheduled for April 17. At 12:50, the board retired again into closed door session, this one for discussion of employment, the protection of privacy of individuals on matters unrelated to public business, investment of public funds and briefing by staff on matters pretaining to actual or potential litigation. When the board returned to open meeting at 1:50, the chairman reported no action taken. -Letters To The Editor V ocus-Pocus? -Persecution To the editor: This is my second handdelivered attempt to respond to your editorial “Secret Sessions" of 2-25-82. I had your promise to print it last week, as I do this week... I ask you why the rush? The rush to insult your own little abused character by automatically assuming the negative. Is this just an insatiable flaw inherent to human nature? If so, some of us are quite more human, in this respect, than others. ' To my knowledge no one on our school board has been accused of malicious business practices such as running a child-labor “sweatshop”, embezzlement, or any other wild or mild form of perversity. Yet when our school board comes out of executive session, why the rush to broadcast your feelings of abuse and mistrust. Need I point out that towards early morning no member of our board has any desire to procrastinate even a few minutes of all of our precious time. Perhaps the board may not have adhered to YOUR SCHEDULE, to YOUR AGENDA, to YOUR GENERAL PLAN. Too bad, we’re not here just for you. We are here to improve education in Rappahannock County as readily and professionally as is humanly possible. Yet after completing discussions that by our own Title 22 School Laws in the State of Virginia must be discussed in executive session, one would think we had committed some ACT OF TREASON. Indeed, we have not violated these laws by abusing our duties as board members. As for your WATERGATE IMPLICATIONS, I regard the Freedom of Information Act as a PROPER and FUNDAMENTAL part of this countrys laws and ideals. For whether we are burdened with a CORRUPT and “SECRETIVE” board, or even five of our neighbors, IT WILL ALL COME OUT IN THE WASH. If we were going to sneak around, we would do just that! Presently, legally, we can meet in groups of less than half of our board to discuss school business. I simply questioned the possibility of our all having coffee together, instead of separately. Maybe we could all be BIG ENOUGH TO TRUST each other to have coffee together and be openly critical of our system. I don’t see how being ommitted and misquoted out of context might facilitiate these “sinful secret sessions.” We meet once a month to discuss the business of running schools. I suggest we What’s Happening? To the editor: What’s happening at the Amissville fire hall? The firemen are short on funds. The Fire hall is a mess. There’s no respect for each other; no discipline for the young junior firemen. The fire hall is being torn apart. Doors are being kicked in; windows broken and the kitchen equipment is being taken. No one seems to know what to do about the problems. The Fire Department is a great thing to have in our community. No one can deny how God has blessed us all. We should be so proud of what we have. So, let’s clean up our mess, lay down some descent rules for everyone to follow. Speak up for what is right. Then we have the right to ask our community for help. A VERY CONCERNED RESIDENT meet occasionally to discuss EDUCATION, CLASSROOMS, TEACHERS, ETC. ... Admittedly, we will probably find out that coffee is out of the question. We'll just have to discuss much of this in a formal executive session that you are so fond of. Who is really treatening progress in our school by selling news, and stirring up all this discontent? What positive end might come from everybody suspecting each other and working against each other? Maybe a moments reflection and some bicarbonate of soda would curb this stomach acidity I suspect brings on these fits of temper and selfrighteousness. To return to freedom of information, does this have implications YOU should be aware of? Does this relate to truth? Do you report THE NEWS OR THE TRUTH by taking one or two lines, or part of them, and omitting the rest to illustrate YOUR point? What of the SPEAKERS point? The two can be worlds apart. This is VERY IMPORTANT because hopefully most people will CAREFULLY word the things they say before the press so as to INSURE THE PERCEPTION OF THEIR INTENT AND SPECIFIC MESSAGE. This is seldom achieved through your “VOCUS-POCUS” fashion of sooth saying. I don’t mean to get prolifically philanthropic, or to pontificate endlessly, but here lies THE GREATEST GIFT we can pass on to our children in this country. These are our VALUES AND IDEALS. Together values and ideals translate into all we DO and SAY. They are a measure of our character. When we view our county, and our country, let’s be big enough to do so from the perspective not of ourselves, but from the perspective of the values and ideals our forefathers built this country upon. Years ago my father told me “a big dog will lazily wag his tail when a little dog will go out of his way to bite ya." I don't feel I’ve done him much justice by biting back. You have bad-mouthed the character and intent of all of our board members. I have talked with your reporter several times in an effort to “understand where we are coming from.” I might add that she has not ever called me on school business. Regardless what district your readers might be in, I hope they’ll call me at 987-8080 and judge me themselves. this is my tirst, and hopefully the last response I’ll be forced to write in response to your unprofessional, short-sighted, and vocus-pocus style of reporting your news. NELSON LANE Editor's note: Nelson Lane hand delivered a response to the Rappahannock News editorial of February 25, dropping his reply by the News office on March 2. The original was inadvertantly misplaced during the composing process at our printing offices in Warrenton. Lane supplied a copy of his original letter on March 9. The News regrets the week's delay in publication. To the editor: Is there to be no end of the persecution of the Pentecostal Christian people and the Christian school? In our pledge to the Christian flag we say, “One brotherhood uniting all mankind in Christian love." Do we really mean it, or is it just words to repeat during vacation Bible school? "If a man say. I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he jove God whom he hath not seen? He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is love." (First John 4:20 & 8). There’s a lot more in the Bible—we need to live it as well as read it. I’m thankful for the permit granted to the Massanova Pentecostal Church for the Christian school by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals. I'll close with the words of Jesus in Matthew 22:39. “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." FDNA C. KIDWELL Amissville Newcomers, A Ruling Force? To the editor: In each issue of your newspaper, you aptly depict “Our Rappahannock Heritage." While it would seem fitting and proper that newcomers to the county should share in this heritage since with their purchase of real property would accrue all rights and privileges, need we allow them to become a ruling force? It would appear that some of the “foreigners" have launched a campaign to fashion our heritage to meet their pleasures and pursuits without regard to established patterns and practices enjoyed by Rappahannock's .lifelong residents. Emphasis is made that there are many recent arrivals to this county who are real assets and then there are those who are so opinionated they refuse to see but “one side of the coin." The issue of hunting deer with dogs is a prime example. From recent articles in the Rappahannock News, it would appear that it is the newcomer who is so keenly opposed to hunting. My forefathers were avid fox hunters as were many of their associates. Hunting is a part of our heritage, dating back to colonization; George Washington was an ardent fox hunter. Whether for food or sport, hunting is as American as grits and apple pie. » When I read Mr. Baumgardner’s preposterous suggestion that a law be enacted requiring that dogs be "under direct control of their owner” (this would have to be construed as leashed), I visualized the Rappahannock Hunt in action and had to chuckle at its absurdity. Mr. Keim supposedly has a game preserve but he is allowing fox to be trapped just when they have young dependent on them thereby leaving them to a death of starvation. Is this humane? Mr. Keim's preservation of one kind of game to the extinction of another is visibly selfish. He pursues bird hunting with dogs (and gun) with the same zeal as any other hunter and with equal control over his dogs. I know that on at least two occasions his dogs left his property in pursuit of deer. Not being at home, you could only surmise they were on property of another. It hardly seems appropriate that this individual be sent to represent the county before the Game Commission. Mr. Gilkey should be applauded that he took the initiative to represent his constituents at a meeting outside the county in addition to the regularly scheduled ones. He is. I believe, a supervisor who could conclude an issue being discussed at a public meeting without the threat of court action. No pun intended, Rappahannock seems to be operating under the malicious doctrine of "dog eat dog" rather than an affable code of "let sleeping dogs lie." Just another bone of contention! EARL R. YANCEY More On The Little School To the editor: I would like to know or try to understand why some people just won’t leave well enough alone? Why are these people trying to close this little school down. All it is trying to do is get the future of our county a better place to live, and help our children grow closer to God. I don’t think that could hurt any of our children. If some residents want their children to go to a Christian school and get a Christian education, then why not let them. What happened to “freedom of Religion?" We are suppose to help our Christian Brother, not work against him. One day we are going to be one group of Christians, not divided up into denominations. There's not going to be a Heaven for each denmonation. WE are going to be united "together”. Why don’t you understand these people are working for the Lord, by trying to give these little children a hope for the future. One day whether alot of you people believe it or not the Lord is coming back. What better chance do our children have to understand then by learning on a day to day bases. The school has cooperated in every way the zoning board has asked. So what is the problem? They got the permit that you people made such a big deal out of. You said they were operating without a permit. So the school got a permit to operate the school. The board set a limit of 49 students. Now you are worried about how you will know when the school reaches that number, how you will know if the school will stop at that number or not. This is a group of Christian people that are trying to teach the word of God. Their word is good enough for me. Then comes the idea that property isn't selling because of this school. “Come on now”, who are you trying to kid now. Real estates all over the county aren't selling because of high banks rates, not because of a Christian school. There are alot of families that have no objection to the school. Some even closer tQ the school than the ones that art[?kicking against it. Why don't you people on Aaron's Mountain support this little school? Just because you aren’t a member of that church, or even if you don't have children going to the school, thats no reason for you to set back and let 2 or 3 people have the say over something that you could have part in. This little school needs your support. So get in there and help them, and I know that the Lord will bless you for it. The money this school is spending in court, trying to keep often could be going toward the school. Just remember the Lord is on the school’s side. I think that's the side I want to be on also. BERTHA JACOBS Amissville Judgeship Interviews Begin (Continued from Page 1) names are sent to the House and Senate Democratic caucuses, which then vote on the candidates. The Democratic caucuses essentially appoint judges in Virginia, since Democrats hold majorities in both bodies of the legislature and must to support the caucuses’ nominee on the floor, regardless of how close the vote is in caucus. Republicans said that process virtually ensures that the GOP, which holds minorities in both houses, cannot affect the outcome. Sen. Waddell should wield considerable influence on who is chosen for the positions because he is the only Democrat in the assembly who represents the 20th judicial district. Sens. William A. Truban of Shenandoah and Nathan H. Miller of Rockingham, and Dds. Kenneth B. Rollins of Loudoun, George P. Beard Jr. of Culpeper, and Raymond R. “Andy" Guest Jr. of Warren are all Republicans and will not be voting in the Democratic caucuses. Del. Rollins said last week that he will support both Mr. Ryan and Mr. Horne for the judgeships. He said a Loudoun lawyer should hold both positions because more of the population and caseload is concentrated in Loudoun. Del. Rollins, who previously had been unwilling to support publicly specific candidates, said he did not know how much of a factor Mr. Ryan’s age would be. When asked what role he would play in the process, Del. Rollins said he would "talk to the Democratic friends I have and explain to them... the logic of why these two judges should come from Loudoun.” Other Republican legislators representing the 20th district indicated they would play little if any role in the process. “I don’t even know the people.” Sen. Truban said, when asked whom he would support. “We Republicans don’t have any input whatsoever.” Del. Beard, when asked who he would support said “Nobody has said anything to me about it. They (the Democrats) leave us out of it completely.” Del. Guest indicated that he would not actively support either candidate for the juvenile court position, but added that Mr. Ryan’s age might work against him. “He’d barely get down to cases before he'd be retiring," Del. Guest said. Del. Alson H. Smith Jr. (DWinchester). chairman of the House Democratic Caucus and a delegate who previously represented Fauquier County, said in an interview that he would not actively support or oppose either candidate. "I’m certainly not going to interfere in a judgeship in areas 1 don't represent," he told a reporter. Del. Smith added that “unless something happened that I can’t foresee," he would support Sen. Waddell’s choices—Mr. Ryan and Mr. Horne. The Little Fox

-Teachers Get Lessons On Classroom Discipline By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Rappahannock !N«»w* Staff Writer Helen Rolfe, former high school English instructor and full-time lecturer for the Virginia Education Association, offered Rappahannock teachers logical, common sense suggestions on getting kids to behave in a recent two-day workshop on classroom discipline held at the elementary school. Before parents shudder at the spectre of unruly students challenging teachers and defying principals, there’s no cause for alarm: discipline in the county’s public schools is intact. "But the most effective approach to discipline is a preventive approach,” explained superintendent Robert Estabrook. "We have no extreme discipline problems and to ensure that we won’t have them, we scheduled this kind of workshop." A cooperative endeavor sponsored by the Rappahannock County Education Association and school administration, the workshop was aimed at keeping kids in line rather than getting them back in line. And the lessons Rolfe offered teachers during the three-hour workshop aren't just limited to the classroom. Mothers and fathers can apply her ideas on assertive discipline equally as well in the home. In the first hour-and-a-half session. Rolfe detailed the three basic response styles teachers use with children — n on-assertive, hostile and assertive—and divided the audience into groups to dramatize confrontations illustrating the three styles. Root Of Problem "When we have problems with classroom discipline, we have to realize that many times, we are the root of the problem." said Rolfe. Most teachers switch back and forth between response styles, nagging and wheedling with youngsters in a typical nonassertive approach, and when Jhat doesn’t work, bursting Into hostility ■ with sereamS and yells, she said. Assertive teachers on the other hand, enter a classroom with positive expectations; they expect to maintain control and they expect the children to do the right thing. Rolfe continued. An assertive teacher knows the environment she needs in order to teach and sets limits to ensure that environment is maintained. Rolfe suggested a child be told three times in simple, straight-lorward terms to stop unacceptable behavior. If the child persists, he or she should be given a choice: for instance, either put the crayons away now or miss recess. If the child chooses misbehavior and continues to fiddle with the crayons, then punishment — missing recess—should follow, Rolfe emphasized. Teachers, she said, should develop a discipline plan and then stick with it. “I know who the problems are in my class and I plan for them. Often I spend as much time in planning how to handle the problems as I do on my lesson plans,” she said, adding that disruption from one trouble maker can prevent the entire class from learning. By repeating an order three times and giving a youngster the choice between whether to mind or not, the teacher puts the focus on the student’s behavior. "You've got to give them a choice. You've got to repeat exactly what you want them to do. especially with elementary students. You must be specific and communicate your wants clearly to the students.” Cardinal Command The cardinal command of assertive teaching, Rojfe emphasized, is “Thou shah not make a demand thou art not prepared to carry through with...Don't get to the point where you say ‘If you do that one more time. I’m going to strangle you!’ because you can’t strangle them," she added. As an example of assertive discipline style, Rolfe cited the teacher who catches a group of children talking out of turn and tells one she thinks was involved to stop talking. The child answers “But I wasn't talking. It wasn’t me." The teacher’s response should be "I want it quiet,” Rolfe noted. “Who cares who’s doing it. You’ve reiterated what your need is" rather than being pulled into an argument with a student over who exactly is talking, she said. Rolfe noted that teachers frequently .have trouble dealing with children who are emotionally disturbed or gifted, or youngsters who have inadequate home lives, expecting less in terms of behavior. "All children can learn to behave. It’s a matter of choosing to." she emphasized. The youngster who comes to class with red eyes from crying because mother lost her job or dad died shouldn’t be excused from class work.

She needs to know that she can be whole and competent in the classroom.” Catch The Good The student who uses disruptive behavior to gain extra attention needs to be taught that he can earn extra time and attention from the teacher through good behavior, Rolfe said. She suggested that teachers find out what special privilege the child would want most and use that as a basis for positive reinforcement. “The whole concept is to catch them being good," she added, and then reinforce that positive behavior. “You were hired as teachers, not disciplinarians,” she told her audience. “First you have to know what you want and need in the classroom in order to teach. Students will be able to learn when yout expectations are met." Rolfe suggested that teachers limit class rules to five and make all rules short and specific, such as “keep hands, feet and all objects to yourself’ rather than “show respect.” Teachers must also define what it is that’s going to happen if the rules are broken, in effect establishing a contract with the students, she said. As an example, Rolfe said, the first time a rule is broken, the student’s name goes up on the blackboard; the second time, a check is added and the student loses 15 minutes of recess; the third time, a second check is added and the student loses 30 minutes of recess. Three violations mean another check, 30 more minutes of recess lost and a phone call to the parents. A fourth violation and the student forfeits 30 minutes of recess, parents are called again and the youngster gets sent to the principal's office. Any discipline plan should also include a severe clause, according to Rolfe. If the student's behavior disrupts class and prevents the teacher from teaching, the student goes immediately to the principal. Rolfe noted the importance of spelling out discipline plans to parents, either by letter or phone. “You have to rely on parents to provide assistance.” shS stressed. Building principals should also be informed, she added. High school teachers at the workshop session maintained that their problem students frequently don’t want to be in school at all. Threats of suspension aren’t effective deterrents to disruptive behavior in these cases because the kids want to be suspended. “So do what they don’t want—punish them by keeping them after school," Rolfe responded.

Positive Notes Home “Assertive discipline must not be all negative," Rolfe continued, asking how many teachers send notes home to parents dealing with positive things. She suggested that teachers write two positive notes per day. “People need that support and it shows the parents that you care about their children...When you notice the good things they’re doing, the students are going to be amazed. They think you only see the bad things,” she added. “Basic bribery” also works well as positive reinforcement, Rolfe said, suggesting that teachers award points measured by marbles in a jar for good behavior, such as the entire class getting books out for a lesson in just a few seconds The reward could be a minute worth of free time for every marble, she added. “It shows the kids that you care enough to reward them for the good things they do." Under an assertive discipline program, 80 percent of students will respond within two weeks, according to Rolfe. There was evidence to support that claim. The two workshop sessions were intially scheduled for two consecutive Monday afternoons but the second session had to be pushed back a week unexpectedly. When Rolfe joined the teachers in the elementary school library for their second meeting, her inquiry of “how's it been?” met with a response of "very assertive!" Several of the teachers acknowledged that they'd had doubts about her common sense approach, about the advisability of giving three warnings. Noting an improvement in classroom attitudes in just two weeks, they gave credit to their new style of assertive discipline. "It works—it really works!" concluded one special education teacher.

Panther Tales By RICHIE BURKE and LORI FRY E This week we sat in on one of the new classes at RCHS “The Fundamentals of Power”. Mr. Davis has introduced to his students the four major types of energy known to man-wind, water, solar, and human energy. Instead of the students taking note after note, Mr. Davis has developed projects for his students. They make and launch hot air balloons and they have also invented a new toy, “Puddle Jumper’s”. A puddle jumper is a circular rod with a propeller on top and when you turn it with your hand it flies through the air. The undisputed champion of the class is rr FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE _INCORPORATED REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Martin Treats Symphony Stomach Aches Across Europe By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vh« Staff V ritcr Jerry Martin returned last week from a European grand tour that was measured in ailments rather than the traditional excursions to museums, castles and galleries. As physician for Washington, D.C.'s National Symphony Orchestra during three weeks of concerts in seven countries, Martin can say “If it was Beethoven. Schubert and hang-overs, it must have been Vienna!” Jerry Martin, who with Dr. Werner Krebser, runs the Rappahannock Medical Center in the town of Washington, may seem an unlikely choice as doctor for the symphony’s trip, what with all the physicians practicing in the other Washington. Jerry attributes it to luck and a talent for role reversal. According to the Flint Hill doctor, a friend in the county, John Rolfe, came up to him at the Farmers Co-op one morning and asked if he'd like to take his family on an all-expense paid trip to Europe. Intrigued by the possibility, Jerry called the National Symphony’s office. ‘‘They were very noncommital. They said to send a resume, I did and then forgot about it. Two months later, they called me in for an interview along with Five other doctors and they picked me. I guess I was just lucky," he 1 maintained, with a shrug and a grin. Someone involved in the Lenten Service The Rappahannock Choral Society will present a special Lenten service on Sunday, March 21, at II a.m. at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. The choral group will perform the Cantata 106. "God’s Time Is Best" by J.S. Bach. Featured soloists will be Beth Bollinger, Judy Bomberger and Donald Bomberger. Robin Dexter will play flute while Gloria Harris will accompany on organ. Babe Ruth Registration The Rappahannock Athletic Association will hold registration for Junior Babe Ruth baseball players between ages of 13 and 15 at the high school and elementary school this Saturday, March 13, beginning at 2:15 p.m. Forms will be available at both school offices.

Beyer Picks VIP Fabrics Jinny Beyer, member of Washington's Rush River Artists Cooperative, nationally-known award winning quilt designer, teacher and author of two bestselling books for quilters. has been selected to pick a new line of cotton prints for The Quilt Institute, Inc., a nationwide organization, of quilt shops, and VIP Fabrics.

The Jinny Beyer Quiltprints Collection by VIP for the Quilt Institute is now in stock at Ruch River. Beyer herself will be at the shop on Saturday, March 20, to talk with local quilters. +++ He who has clear ideas can command. —Goethe selection process later told Martin that he was the only one of the six doctors who didn't seem "uptight" during the interviews. "It was the opposite end of the spectrum from where doctors usually are. We’re generally the ones in the position of power, the ones asking the questions," Jerry acknowledged. Whirlwind Tour A month ago. Martin packed his little black bag and departed with his wife Marybeth, 100 musicians, conductor Mstislav Rostropovich and some 50 technical assistants for England, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany. Austria and Spain. Squeezing 17 concerts plus travel into three and a half weeks left little time, unfortunately. for strolling down the boulevards of Paris, sipping Viennese chocolate at a sidewalk cafe, admiring the works of Dutch masters and other excursions into the Old World's past. The a 11 - expenses-paid arrangements included tickets to 17 concerts, however, so the Martins were treated to a surfeit of stirring classical music performed by the National Symphony to rave reviews across the continent. "But it wasn't very satisfying medically," complained the boyish, blond haired doctor, adding that circumstances called for "intuitive medicine" rather than sophisticated diagnostic techniques. “I had to treat patients in airports, in lobbies, on airplanes, in waiting rooms. I had to check out Mr. Rostropovich’s knee one night before a concert and I had to get his pants leg rolled up and examine the knee while he was talking with at least ten different people. He’s really the king bee,” said Martin, grinning widely. On another evening just prior to a major performance in Paris, the concert master was stricken with an upset stomach. "Rostropovich was very anxious because the man was so vital to the concert and I told him I didn't think he’d be well enough to perform by curtain time. Rostropovich suggested I give him eight glasses of water to make him throw up and that then he’d feel better." Martin laughed at the memory. Henry Fogel. orchestra manager in charge of the tour, overheard the conversation and fended off a clash between two opposing schools of thought. "He told Rostropovich ‘I’m not going to let Jerry conduct the orchestra and I'm not going to let you practice medicine!’" Martin recalled, chuckling. In addition to literally treating orchestra members as they climbed on stage for performances, the medical dissatisfaction Martin felt can be attributed to the types of cases he faced on the tour. There were no opportunities for life saving heroics. Instead. Martin treated stomachs full of gastrointestinal problems and chests full of upper respiratory distress. The few exceptions offered small challenge, according to Jerry. While in Vienna, the sponsors of the NSO tour hosted a gala party in the city’s wine district. One of the horn players had a bottle or two too many and at 5 a.m., Martin answered an emergency call, only to treat one sheepish and hung-over patient for water retention. Demonstrations The symphony did run into some unexpected excitement in the Netherlands. During a concert in Amsterdam, patrons had to skirt bodies of demonstrators stretched out full-length on the front steps of the Concertgebouw while other young people hoisted banners that announced "U.S. Walks Over Corpses in Central America.” Then after the opening overture, two men protesting the U.S. involvement in El Salvador ran down the aisles, shouting and throwing pamphlets. ’’But the audience hardly batted an eye.” Martin noted, attributing their composure to the tolerance of the Dutch who have legalized prostitution and allow brothels to conduct business across the street from schools. No Basketball A die-hard Virginia basketball fan who's constantly on the trail of tickets to home games in Charlottesville, Martin suffered terribly from the dearth of sports news in Europe. "One of the worst things about the whole trip was that I could only get the scores of the college games and even then, they were two days old. It was frustrating! But one night in Brussels, we got back to our hotel room after dinner at 2 a.m. 1 turned on the radio and guess who was playing on the Armed Forces Network— NC State and Virginia! I listened until 4 a.m.” Of course, the Cavaliers won or Martin wouldn't even have mentioned the contest. In a more serious vein, the Rappahannock doctor related two things that really stood out on the trip. "I wouldn't call them highlights. They were both depressing," he noted. The first was a trip to Dachau, the nazi death camp that now stands as a monument to the millions of Jews killed in the Holocaust. Martin made the trip with two Jewish members of the symphony orchestra and walked the paths that men, women and children took to the crematoriums. "We were so moved. We were in tears. It's deceiving now — everything looks so benign. The ovens could have been potters' kilns. It made me aware of the thin veneer that separates civilization and savagry, of the evil that lurks within us all," Martin said. The second stand-out was a tour through communist East Berlin. "It's so sterile there compared to West Berlin. Paranoia pervades the whole East German city." Martin said. "When you go through check-point Charlie, the East Germans check vour passports at least five times, scrutinizing your pictures and comparing'it to vour lace. You can't drive straight through. They've built in all these right angle turns. There are guards with submachine guns at every corner and more guards with guns and bonoculars watching from towers." Hut hurope wasn t all soldiers and reminders of past injustices. The symphony’s entourage first stop was Switzerland, a country that impressed Dr. Martin w'ith its cleanliness, lack of visible poverty and avoidance of urban flight. "You drive into the country and it's really countryside. All the development is clustered in the villages rather than spread out between farms here and there. And we didn't see a single junked car!” The Martins never encountered a language barrier either. “They’re bilingual all over Europe. Everybody speaks a second language i and usually, the second language is English." Jerry noted. "But it is surprising how much of our culture has permeated other countries. Vienna, what 1 consider to be the most European of cities, has a McDonalds. The only difference." he concluded with a laugh, “is that they sell beer along with their Big Macs."

Cinzano Victorious At Rappahannock By Jl NK Rl'HSAM Ik-niorrnl N|w*cinl rilrr Cinzano and rider Randy Rouse repeated their victories of last week and last year at the Rappahannock point-topoint races Saturday—but not without a battle. In the featured Ben Venue owner-rider timber race, which they also won last year, Cinzano took off at the start, leading the field of four over the first three fences. Then Randy Waterman and his Worthy of Love overtook them. Across the mountainside they raced, jumping head and head, with Cinzano picking up speed down the steep slope and regaining the lead. Uphill again he opened a 10-length advantage, but Worthy of Love came to him as they crossed the bottom toward the final fence. Rouse heard him approach and let Cinzano out a notch, pulling away in the stretch to win by 10 lengths. Third was Peter Winants' good hunter First Jim. It was raining all around, but not at Thornton Hill farm where the small and enthusiastic crowd of about 3.500 stayed dry until the end V l. of the hound race. The footing was excellent and the races well filled. First of nine events was the Homer C. LeHew turf race which was split. Winners of both divisions were the horses owned and trained by Dr. William Wright which won the flat races at Casanova last week. In the first division Toinette Jackson again piloted Timbuktu, bringing him from off the pace to make a run down the stretch catching William Russell’s Pauli's Cloud, Don Yovanovich up, at the wire. Third was Yovanovich's Bagdads, ridden by Hilary Thompson. Eastern Pageant and Saludo broke on top of the 11 starters in the second division, but again Double Recipe came from behind under a strong ride by Jackson, with Hilary Thompson on Eastern Pageant driving hard to hold her off. It was Double Recipe the winner, with New Hope Farm's Eastern Pageant a close second followed by Mary Pearson’s Hail to \ William Bronze, Dr. McCormick riding. Adding to the colorful picture were three grays among the seven horses going to the post for the open timber race. Roman Hunt and Baby Doe were the leaders at the start, passed by Bright Answer as they galloped across the mountainside. Roman Hunt regained the lead, on the next turn up the mountain, but Dr. Joe Rogers’ Baby Doe sailed past him going into the last of 11 fences. Randy Waterman eased Baby Doe as they crossed the wire three lengths to the good of Oliver Brown’s Roman Hunt, Don Yovanovich up. Third by another five lengths was Peter Thompson’s Shy Donald, ridden by Bill Chewning. First away in the ladies timber race was last season's leading rider, Susan Sutula, on her Too Far Gone. Somaldi Gold caught them at the fence in front of the stand which they leaped together and led. the field of eight up the mountain. Then Noble Order romped down the hillside, overtaking them. ■ 11 11 " BALDWIN'S SHELL 0 Operated by T.R.

BMW! I Bill I !■ ilTM^fcWPWflTlkWM.ITI TOrJ — Douglas L<*es Photo A RAPPAHANNOCK SPECIALTY is the last race of the day. . . the Hound Race. Fifty-two hounds take off to follow the scent laid by huntsman Oliver Brown over the racecourse. Too Far Gone chased Noble Order over the 14th and last fence, but couldn't catch him. William Russell’s Noble Order, ridden by Hilary Thompson, was a four-length winner over Too Far Gone, with Roy Graham’s Man of Rythm, Ready Snodgrass up, third. It was a close wire-to-wire win for Irish Reports over 11 rivals in the open hurdle race. The Houghton family entry stole the start by five lengths and was stalked for most of the mile and a third by Joseph Gillet on his Blue Barbizon. At the last hurdle Exbolin was second and nearly caught the leader in a furious drive down the stretch. Winner by a scant half length was Jen Houghton’s Irish Reports, ridden by Bernie Houghton, over Alfred Smith’s Exbolin, John “Casey” Hamilton riding. Third was Blue Barbizon. The junior flat race went off in two divisions—for ponies and for horses. First were the ponies. Dawn Dugan’s Sharp Start lived up to his name and was off in a flash and never headed, winning the twothird mile sprint by six lengths over Daphrie Laimbeer’s game little States Pride. Third by a distance was Old Mill Stables’ Starlight riddin by Isabelita Ford, followed by Andrew Haskell on his Neige. In the horse division Just a Tinch was away First at the drop of the flag. Spit the Pit overtook him, but Woods Winants gained distance by taking Just a Tinch up the inside of the turn into the stretch and missed catching the leader by a half length at the finish. Dr. and Mrs. William Wright’s Spit the Pit, ridden by Holly Mitten, was the winner over Rog Smithwick’s Just a Tinch, with Viveca Graham’s Useful Information, Charles Graham up, third. Charles Owens' Cultivating, winner of the owner-rider hurdle race in 1981, looked like a sure thing again this year but was upset. Cultivating and Jay Barr's Pill Mill jumped the first hedge together. Then Pill Mill led by a length over the next five hurdles, but Cultivating came back to leap with him over the seventh and was on top over the last three of 10 hurdles. Suddenly at the head of the stretch Dr. J. R. Branscome’s Yellow Boy surged to the front and pulled away in the run to the finish to win by three length over Cultivating. Pill Mill was third. Next was the owner-rider timber race for foxhunters, which proved to be one of the most competitive. Jeff LeHew, son of Rappahannock Hunt's joint MFH, on his Lucky and Bold led for most of the two-mile, 11-fence 'chase. He was stalked first by Guardati and then by In for a Tag. Lucky and Bold and Donald Shepherd’s In for a Tag rolled down the mountain together, leaped the last two fences head and head, and streaked for home. In for a Tag won by a length. Third was Clarke Whitaker’s Tom Caribou. Three horses fell, two at the third fence and Guardati at the last. Patricia Ann Horrocks remounted Guardati and finished. In the morning before the regular races there was a hunter pace event over three miles of rolling hunt country. Winning for fast time was the Rappahannock Hunt team of Mike Brown on Timbocktoo and Sally Cunningham riding French Will. Second was Keswick Hunt's pair of Patrick Diamond on Port-a-Ferry and Clarke Whitaker riding his Gray War. The Old Dominion team of Emley Buikstra with Ru-Far and Heidi DeGroot on Classical Lass was third. The optimum time winners were Donna Cornell and Bob Pumphrey from Keswick Hunt riding Paddington and Rebel. Second was the Rappahannock Hunt pair of Janet Quantance on Fiddle Dee and Colleen Murray on Fiddle Stix. Third was the junior entry from Casanova which won that division last week. Amy McNab on Semi Pro and Joyce Fendley with Frosty. Winding up the day’s sport was Rappahannock's unique hound race. Following the drag laid by huntsman Oliver Brown over the racecourse, 52 hounds energetically worked the line. Winner for the fourth time in five years was Kelly Corbin’s Susie. Other prize winners in order were: Jack Bruce's No. 44 entry, Tony Cooke’s Daisy, Jene Clark’s B.

Class A Contractor’s License Placed On Probation (Continued from Page 1) risk facing the entire 34-year sentence. Newman’s Sentence Suspended In a companion case, the judge sentenced Herman Newman, 23, of Culpeper, to a total of 34 years for the same string of breaking and enterings and grand larceny, then suspended the sentence and placed Newman on five years supervised probation. Noting that Newman is facing a lengthy sentence from Culpeper for similar offenses, probation officer Dean Hahn reported that the defendant has a serious problem with heroin addiction and wants to get off drugs. He added that Newman has prior felony convictions ranging back to when he was a juvenile. Newman’s court appointed attorney Lee Albrecht told the judge that he had defended Newman in 1976 on charges of petty larceny and at that point found his client, who then couldn't read, to be “fairly hopeless". Since then, however, Newman not only has learned to read but has passed the state’s high school equivalency exam, Albrecht noted, adding that he is much more hopeful now regarding Newman’s chances for rehabilitation. “I do not believe justice would be served by extending your incarceration,” Robertson told Newman, suspending the 34 years awarded the defendant for his crimes in Rappahannock. In addition, he required Newman to pay his pro-rata share of the stolen property’s value and to take part in1 drug counseling and treatment programs. ‘‘You’re 23 years old. You’re a young man," Robertson told the defen-, dant. ‘‘You have an opportunity to become a good and useful citizen,” he said, advising Newman to use his term in the penitentiary to learn a trade. “Hopefully, when you get out, the economy will be better and you’ll have an opportunity to make something of yourself.” In another case, Robertson Line-Up With Lyne 30 ACRES—highway frontage, nice home site, gentle slope, panoramic views Only $1,000 per acre 50 ACRES—mountain land, timber, near Park, state road frontage, mail and school bus routes $44,400.

Pendleton of Amissville guilty of shooting into an occupied motor vehicle, sentenced him to two years and then suspended all but 60 days which Pendleton will be allowed to serve on weekends. The judge named David Konick as court-appointed attorney for Richard Bundy, 23, of Goldvein, after ruling that the defendant, a selfdescribed wood cutter who has not worked since October, qualifies as an indigent. Bundy is facing charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny in the robbery of Loyal Diehl’s residence in February, 1980. A cash bond of $10,000 was set for Bundy after the commonwealth attorney noted that he has been a fugitive for some time. Bundy’s case has been continued until March 18 for setting a trial date. Mart in’s Motions Denied The judge denied two requests from Robert Clarence Martin for change of venue and release from custody. On May 22, 1981, Martin was found guilty on five counts of arson arising from the Halloween Eve burning of barns and personal property belonging to the C. E. Johnson family. Later four of the verdicts were ordered set aside by Judge Robertson and were subsequently consolidated into a single charge on which Martin must again stand trial. In asking for a change of venue to Fauquier County for that trial, attorney Lee Albrecht maintained that the Rappahannock News accounts of the earlier trial and guilty verdicts returned by the jury would have a substantial bearing on his client’s presumption of in nocence. Robertson agreed with commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner that the newspaper reports now qualified as old news. “Juries have very modest—if any—recollection about what they read in newspapers,” he said, ruling that he ytill first seek to impanel an impartial jury in Rappahannock and if that proves impossible, will again hear arguments on transferring the trial to Fauquier. Maintaining that Martin has already served enough time to be considered for parole on the two years sentence set by the jury for one arson count, Albrecht requested the judge to impose sentence, credit Martin with the 12 months already served and release him on probation. In response, Baumgardner maintained that Martin should be required to go through the penitentiary system for a proper determination on whether he is eligible for parole. In addition, he pointed out that in order for the judge to free Martin, Robertson must find that suspension of the remaining sentence is compatible with the public interest and that there are circumstances in mitigation of the offense. No evidence has been presented on either point, he added. Robertson imposed sentence of two years plus court costs and noted that Martin will receive credit for the time he has spent in jail awaiting both trial and sentence. He denied Martin’s release motion, noting that since the defendant has a prior felony conviction, he’s not certain that Martin is eligible for parole after serving approximately 12 months. t Judge Robertson added, however, that he will request Martin be taken immediately into the stale penal system so his parole request can be properly considered. Informed that Martin will appeal his arson conviction to the State Supreme Court, the judge set 52,000 bond for the appealed charge. Bond on the pending arson charge was set earlier at $2,000 as well. On a misdemeanor appeal of speeding charges from Robert Allen Hayman of Alexandria. Judge Robertson set trial for April 15. While circuit court was being conducted, a sevenmember grand jury met in the jury room and returned two indictments for forgery and uttering a bad check against Donnie Ray Coates of Culpeper. The charges were; continued until March 18 for setting trial date and bond. — Rappahannock News Photo/D.

(Story next week I. Zoning Board Finds Map Error (Continued from Page 1) "The sale of used cars is not allowed under this ordinance the way it’s written now,” Kramer concluded. “To park a few cars there would be no more hazardous than building a picnic area." Atkins argued. "Isn’t the property zoned business?” asked James Swindler. BZA representative from the Sperryville area. From the audience, Joseph Atkins, Sr., maintained that the property has commercial zoning. Same Old Problem “Again we have our perennial problem with the zoning map,” Konick replied, noting that the property in question is encircled by a green line—the same line used to mark residential, residential subdivision and residential business districts. The lot isn't colored commercial and apparently falls into the residential business (RB-1) district of Sperryville, he said. "Whether its residential business or whatever, it is in the flood plain district and therefore governed by the provisions of Article Nine (the zoning ordinance section in flood plain)," agreed Bird. “It’s been a commercial lot since I was born," rejoined Swindler. Even if the property is considered residential business, RB-1 regulations permit only lawful continuing use of an existing facility or an expansion to continue an existing use, Konick explained. Since the request tor a used" car lot doesn't fit any uses allowed by right or with a special permit in RB-1 and since one zoning map shows the property in either RB-1 or agriculture (depending on interpretation of the ambiguous green line) and the other zoning map shows it as flood plain, Konick said he advised Atkins to proceed under agricultural zoning. “I’d like to see this resolved because I have a whole list of possibilities every time anyone from Sperryville comes in to do anything,” the zoning administrator stated. "I think the provisions of Article Nine (flood plain district regulations) are plain,” replied chairman Bird as the BZA members voted unanimously, with Swindler abstaining, to deny the special use permit application. "We have to go by the ordinance. If the ordinance is wrong, it should be changed," said the BZA chairman, adding that the board was not unsympathetic to Atkins' request. “We’re denying it because we don’t have any other choice,” Kramer stressed. Wrong Color In reviewing a request from Walter R. Payne for a special use permit to operate a pool and game room at Payne's Garage site on Route 211 and 522 east of Washington, the BZA discovered one piece of commercial property that hasn't been designated as such on the official zoning map and a second unimproved lot that is colored commercial yellow instead. Payne * .J the BZA that he wants to put pool tables, video games and pinball machines in his former garage building. He acknowledged that he doesn’t have a septic permit yet and proposed to rent an outdoor sanitary “john” to serve the game room. According to Payne, there’s adquate parking space in front of the garage although he plans to continue operating the fruit and vegetable stand currently on the same site. The two businesses won't compete for parking area, he said, adding that the fruit stand will be open during the day while the game room will be “primarily a night operation but if business picks up, I will open it during the day.” Payne said he plans only to sell soft drinks and hot sandwiches from a machine with no alcoholic beverages even allowed on the premises. Green Line Again Konick reported that Payne’s lot is one of several in the vicinity circled by the ambiguous green line. “Frankly, gentlemen, I just think it was a mistake (that Payne’s garage wasn’t designated commercial when the official zoning map was colored)," said the zoning administrator. He noted that a nearby lot with nothing built on it is marked as commercial although the property “is not commercial in any way.” According to Konick, commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner has ruled that the zoning map is part of the county’s zoning law. "Even if it’s a mistake. it's part of the law.'1 He added that he thought the intent of the board of supervisors was to designate the lot with Payne's garage as (ximmercial since it was in commercial use at the time the ordinance and map were adopted. The zoning map is in essence "just a copy of an old tax map that they colored in." Konick continued. The purpose of a tax map is to give the commissioner of revenue a “general idea” of where a piece of property is located and what the surrounding uses are. "It’s not intended to be a correct representation of actual boundaries," he said, noting that the tax map includes numerous inaccuracies. COMMERCIAL BUILDING For Sale By Owner Washington, Va. 987-8781 or 368-5055 “I don’t think the map is confusing,” Kramer responded. "It may not be saying what we think it should be but it is clear that the property is not zoned commercial." The BZA members agreed to send Payne’s application to the supervisors for clarification and rezoning to commercial along with any other changes in the area deemed appropriate. In other action, the BZA voted unanimously to grant a special use permit to Amissville United Methodist Church to provide facilities limited to 30 students from Christian Oaks Academy through June 30, 1982. "I see no reason why our facility shouldn’t be used for something of this nature...These children need a place to call home for the balance of the (school) year," said Paul Poling, trustee for the church. He noted that the school, formerly housed in the basement of a Rixeyville home, was found to be in violation of state fire code regulations and was subsequently closed down by Culpeper authorities. According to Poling, all the teachers at the private Christian school are “qualified, recognized ...There’s no problem with that part of it.” In addition, he reported that sanitarian Jack Lockhart has approved sewage disposal facilities for the school. The BZA also voted unanimously to issue a special use permit to John and Joyce DeBergh to build a second dwelling on their 182acre farm outside Washington. The residence is intended for their daughter and son-in-law.

Of the ten players selected by the coaches for all-district, Leake tallied the second highest point total to qualify, Edmondson added. Guard Robert Myers, the Panthers’ defensive ace, was named to the all-district second five. Leake’s average of 16.3 points per game gave him the district’s scoring title. His best output was 25 against Clarke County, a team that the Panthers will face regularly in the new Battlefield District they join next year. An asset on boards at both ends of the court, Leake averaged 6.3 rebounds per game on the season. Myers grabbed the school record for steals, taking the ball eight times in a contest with Page County. His total of 45 over a 20 game season gave the hustling guard an average of 4.5 per game. In addition, Myers was credited with 65 assists—3.5 per game—and connected at the basket for 9.4 points per game, a scoring average that ranked him in the top 15 for the district. As a team, the Panthers finished with a 12-10 record and third place in Skyline. Edmonson noted that last year, RCHS broke even with a 10-10 mark, adding that this was the first season the school came out with more wins than losses. But the coach isn't all smiles over his first year at the varsity helm.'Td have been satisfied with one more victory over Monroe (the team from Green County that downed RCHS in the semifinal tournament round after losing to the Panthers the previous week),” Edmondson said. “Just a couple more points and we could have been in the regionals, possibly even the state finals.” The coach noted that RCHS loss to James Monroe in the tournament, 41-39. If the Panthers had made it to the finals, win or lose, they would have gone on to regional competition, as did Stonewall Jackson, Monroe’s opponent in that last district round. Stonewall Jackson lost to Monroe in the Skyline tournament but went on to take the regionals last weekend and will now advance to state finals, Edmondson reported. “And Rappahannock beat Stonewall during the regular season. No, I’m not satisfied with our record,” he added. “I feel that the difference between our staying at home and William Monroe and Stonewall going to the regionals was that they’d been together longer as teams, playing two full years as a unit. Our team had only two half seasons. Apparently, that makes a difference,” he concluded. To Meet The Flint Hill. Homemakers Gub will meet Tuesday, March 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Ellen Mustoe.
